[0:48] All

[0:50] right. Bring this meeting to order. When you're joining in the

[0:54] to accept the agenda as presented.

[0:58] I'll move.

[0:59] Second.

[1:00] Second.

[1:04] Rebecca.

[1:09] The race for it.

[1:10] I like to see that.

[1:11] All in favor?

[1:20] Reports and presentations.

[1:22] The superintendent report.

[1:30] They moving right along.

[1:31] Melee finishes finishing touches need to be completed.

[1:36] We're a little delayed on some doors at the Gilbert building.

[1:40] The front door especially.

[1:41] especially so we'll keep you posted on that here.

[1:45] We've got some doors, there's a trim work,

[1:47] there's some

[1:50] pieces that need to be done,

[1:52] but overall we're moving along

[1:54] and I think we're okay shape.

[1:56] We're still

[1:58] by hopefully we can get everybody out of here

[2:01] where

[2:08] we are, we're gonna switch everybody to second shift

[2:11] once the shift

[2:15] workers will come in at 315

[2:18] and then we avoid any sort of interaction

[2:21] or crossing paths with construction workers, students, and staff.

[2:26] So we're moving right along with that.

[2:29] You may have noticed we've cut down the maple trees in front of the high school,

[2:32] if you journey community members wondering about that tree,

[2:37] brought it in the center,

[2:38] and all spring we would watch the piloted woodpeckers chew away at them

[2:43] and leave big piles of, look like beakers had been around trees,

[2:47] the wood chips, and so we had an out-of-local outfit

[2:51] that from Cooper Schoolhouse Road come and spend a couple days

[2:56] this week and remove all of the large maples.

[2:59] We are replanting trees out there.

[3:01] We're gonna go with either flowering pears

[3:04] or crab apples, something a little shorter with blooms,

[3:07] but it's pretty naked out there right now.

[3:09] So if you hear any community members wondering,

[3:12] they're welcome to look at the stunts before we grind them off.

[3:15] You can see the rock in the center

[3:16] and they would lose branches every storm.

[3:18] So we'll get do

[3:23] we could get some stuff pictures so people didn't think we were just you know trying to open that up or something but

[3:30] So if you hear anything we are replacing them

[3:33] I got a thank you phone call from the Dupord fire department. She's thanking us for using the Dupord bus garage

[3:39] They enjoy that they washed it out and host everything down before they left. So what a great

[3:46] opportunity for us to kind of

[3:52] some stuff to give back. They have

[3:54] new concrete apron, but on the

[3:56] front of the Gilford Firehouse,

[3:57] took about a week, want

[4:01] to receive.

[4:03] The summer feeding program has

[4:04] wrapped up. We did about 331

[4:06] children per week, went very well.

[4:14] Half an eye met yesterday and they're

[4:16] gearing up to start prepping and

[4:18] delivering the meals for the fall.

[4:21] So if your child is home three days

[4:24] a week, you'll get three days of

[4:25] the meals delivered if you're home fully virtual.

[4:28] You'll get five days of meals delivered

[4:30] and that's a form that is on the website

[4:34] that you have to fill out.

[4:38] So it went very well over the summer.

[4:41] So I continue it.

[4:43] We're able to because the numbers were far exceeded

[4:47] while we've had the last few years

[4:48] when we tried to do it together with the churches

[4:50] or different locations.

[4:52] So that went well.

[4:55] My reopening meetings, I had two virtually

[4:58] and then I had one in person, and I think I put these in my weekend news and notes to you.

[5:03] They weren't really, really well. The parents were really appreciative.

[5:12] Take out quite a few

[5:12] that were repetitive, and we put them up on the website.

[5:21] Asquering was the biggest question that

[5:24] I got over and over again, and I explained to

[5:31] your child about something staff. And so they seemed

[5:34] okay with that, and that we will be giving mass breaks. We'll take your mask off when you eat lunch,

[5:41] and for

[5:45] a treat and you're socially distanced you can pull it down for a mask

[5:48] break so I thought the meetings went really well and I think parents left

[5:54] there a lot of parents of emailing were on the fence were waiting for the meetings

[5:58] together

[6:04] are some that are not but they went well and I'm scheduled a virtual

[6:09] coffee with a superintendent next Wednesday night and six

[6:16] last minute questions

[6:17] get some of the jitters out hopefully we'll do that for an hour and my agenda really

[6:23] is to just

[6:26] where we are as a district with a reopening plan and then just let them ask questions.

[6:33] I was interested that our in-person presentation we only had 20 people including administrators.

[6:40] I don't know if that means people are comfortable or if that means they're still nervous about

[6:44] coming out and being in a group but we had taped off the auditorium for social distancing pieces and

[6:50] we all had masks on when we talked and people were great. It went really well but I was very surprised

[6:56] I saw a few people that were.

[6:57] So adding the three meetings up,

[6:59] and I think I emailed her, we were 220 meetings

[7:02] that attended, so they went, they went,

[7:08] we are all set for all

[7:14] the staff comes Tuesday on Wednesday

[7:15] after Labor Day, and I think I sent you

[7:18] our four agenda, and if you notice in there,

[7:23] there's trainings built in every day,

[7:25] and there are some that are required.

[7:27] So I have to meet with all the brand new staff

[7:30] and talk about sexual harassment,

[7:32] that DASA, Child Abuse,

[7:35] Joanne Mochley is gonna do that with me

[7:38] for all brand new staff.

[7:40] But then we also have required trainings on signs

[7:43] and symptoms of COVID in students and staff

[7:46] and what you do if you suspect a student or your colleague

[7:49] may be presenting some of the signs of COVID.

[7:52] Shelly is going to speak,

[7:54] partly coined from Shnengar County

[7:56] Department of Mental Health is going to speak.

[7:58] Carol Dives is going to train the district

[8:00] in the right to know bloodboard pathogens, HIV, and some other required trainings.

[8:05] So we loaded required pieces and energy trainings to get you set up on Google if you're still,

[8:12] and

[8:15] then there's faculty meetings, small renovations, special updates and things like that.

[8:19] So it'll be a busy four days. We're keeping people in their buildings. We're providing lunch

[8:26] for the entire staff. We're

[8:30] going to have that in their buildings. Keith is speaking on opening

[8:34] I think second day at 8.30 is welcome back to speech.

[8:38] And I'm gonna chitchat a little bit there

[8:44] from today's up front.

[8:45] You know, staff are chance to get back at their feet.

[8:47] We want to interact, see what it's like

[8:50] for the holidays and masks and things like that.

[8:54] If any,

[8:56] just let me know.

[8:57] The kids come through maybe

[9:02] 11.

[9:03] And then we switch on that Monday

[9:04] to group day Monday, Tuesday and group V first day Friday.

[9:08] The principals and Julie,

[9:10] both

[9:20] 81% of our kids coming back to campus

[9:23] and 19 percent have selected fully virtual. So I think we're going to have, you know,

[9:28] quite a few kids, which is a good thing. You know, we've got some questions about how that

[9:33] attendance is going to work and how taking your temperature is going to work as you get off the bus

[9:38] or your parent delivers you to campus. We're going to see how the first two days go and then we may need

[9:44] to stagger or rival times a little bit. We are not currently doing that with buses. That was a

[9:49] question I got a few times because we only have half the students utilizing or

[9:54] they're all going to be here and breaking that 400 into a smaller number because

[9:59] not everybody is going to utilize the bus

[10:09] excited. I think any

[10:14] people back in

[10:15] the building is

[10:19] I sent you an aid reduction handout which tells you about the

[10:23] 20% and what that does to VG in

[10:34] the direction of how VG going to make it through

[10:45] conversation just

[10:49] kind of starting and so we just wanted to give you an idea

[10:53] that it is occurring. Superintendents are meeting Monday to start to brainstorm ideas and we certainly

[11:00] welcome your ideas as well. So we'll be talking more about that on September 3rd. The board

[11:07] retreat is scheduled for Tuesday night in the High School Library. I'm so

[11:14] want to jump in and

[11:22] sure we were just kind of wondering what the board wanted to do if we wanted meals if we wanted to

[11:31] to bring our own if we wanted to eat beforehand,

[11:34] if we wanted to order and everyone paid for their own.

[11:40] Did we want the school to pick it up?

[11:42] So we just kind of need some feedback on what direction

[11:45] you wanna go that night.

[11:50] I'm happy to bring my own.

[11:53] That's fine.

[11:54] I don't, I wouldn't want the district to pay.

[11:58] Me too.

[11:59] Janice just stroked out and we heard about the district

[12:02] and for

[12:08] everyone or either bring in your own or eat beforehand so there's no additional

[12:13] costs. I will bring dessert for everybody. I don't want you to have to do that piece. I will

[12:22] whip up something from from the local store. Are you going to? I'll probably go the afternoon grill

[12:31] and grab something. Emily has to have her candy bar crunch paper and we have

[12:37] tableware. So in place,

[12:43] we now have a small take care of tableware and

[12:45] dessert.

[12:50] I'm sorry, which room are we holding it again in the room?

[12:53] You're only school library because people can spread out on their own table.

[13:01] And then just everybody's going to bring three areas of strengths, weaknesses, and then

[13:07] and just three things that caught your attention.

[13:11] And then there were two other items

[13:13] that we're gonna add to the agenda

[13:15] that one was brought up by Genie and one by Emily.

[13:18] And that should be plenty for two hours.

[13:22] I like the way you proposed.

[13:24] I think Genie said six to six, 30 was food and six,

[13:27] 30 to seven,

[13:34] and how you did it.

[13:35] Are you talking to me?

[13:37] Yeah.

[13:38] Yeah, I thought you said Genie.

[13:40] Oh, sorry.

[13:41] I could have heard you wrong.

[13:42] Yeah, so I think that's what I said.

[13:44] First and.

[13:45] If anybody wants anything else added to the list,

[13:48] I probably won't type up those nice cards.

[13:50] Like we have the golf course,

[13:51] but it's to remind us,

[13:53] kind of that we can have that discussion.

[14:02] Talk about so the governor put out information this week

[14:05] that ball sports can begin to some degree.

[14:08] September 21.

[14:10] Low risk sports start the 21st.

[14:13] You can practice and then compete against people in your region.

[14:16] The high-risk sports, which are volleyball and football at VG, can start to practice the 21st as long as they're socially distanced, but they cannot begin competitions.

[14:28] So, Kevin and Bill and I have been having conversations where a little confused by volleyball is considered high-risk, but soccer is not.

[14:37] The other guidance we saw that for so soccer, cross-country, cheerleading, field hockey, those were your low-risk sports.

[14:46] When they have competitions, the crowd size is limited to two adults per individual on the team.

[14:54] So we needed clarification on that. If we have 17 girls on the soccer team.

[15:00] Is that mean we can bring the 30 more spectators and how we social distance and all that. So we're getting a little more clarification. But as it's the entry now athletics begins of number 21. Low risk can compete. High risk can practice socially distance. But as I've right now, can't start competitions. So, that was another question that I got during my presentations. If you select fully virtual, can your child still participate in athletics? And yes, they can.

[15:28] and your child can also participate extracurriculars.

[15:31] We don't know how we're shaping a lot

[15:33] of the extracurricular activities,

[15:35] whether that's the 11th period,

[15:36] whether we pull something off during the day after school,

[15:40] we're not quite sure on that piece yet.

[15:42] So we did give some information on athletics.

[15:45] And the Health and Safety Committee, Matt last night,

[15:48] I think the word nine of us,

[15:50] James Wright out, organized a virtual meeting

[15:53] for the committee and Rebecca, I'll let you talk

[15:56] a little bit about how the meeting went and kind of what we discussed in

[16:01] questions and thoughts and things like that. Okay, sure. So basically the meeting

[16:06] was to sort of update the committee about the opening plans and the role of

[16:10] the plans and to answer any questions that the committee members may have had.

[16:16] Some of them, myself, Kelly Sergiano, James, they were all on or involved in the

[16:22] the opening process. So some of the there were some good questions that were generated by other

[16:27] members of the committee, mostly about how things would run day to day. There was a question

[16:33] about supplies and the fact that all facilities, schools, hospitals, everybody sort of strapped

[16:41] for supplies and that while we are wearing good shape for right now, the concern is that

[16:46] that in the months to come that the supply will grow thin or we won't be able to get

[16:53] what we need.

[16:55] And so here all that I was going to talk about some alternative sources of supplies that

[17:00] hopefully we could tap into early on so we can kind of sort of stop violent and keep our

[17:06] supply of safety things up.

[17:11] And we talked about the sports that Tim just mentioned.

[17:14] We talked about mass breaks and what that would look like in a classroom and it's just a simple removing of your mask in the classroom.

[17:22] We talked a little bit about the opportunity for outside education and what that would look like and if that would be allowed.

[17:32] I think that's it.

[17:35] Did I miss it?

[17:36] Pretty much all re-opening, you know, it started out kind of similar to the parent

[17:41] presentation that we put on previous week, and then people had an opportunity to ask

[17:47] a lot of questions other than well.

[17:52] The last thing I want to talk about, I sent you an email with Aaron Morris explaining why

[17:59] we don't need one of the policies that we talked about at the previous meeting, the FMI

[18:04] a policy that everybody had a chance to pull that up for explanation was on there that

[18:09] we're really under no obligation to have that and even if we put that in place it becomes

[18:15] moot I think it's the first of the year so her thoughts are why we do not have to do that

[18:23] and if you have any questions about that so as far as policy there's one that we want to talk

[18:30] a little about when we get there on the election and the voting and stuff. I think it's two paragraphs

[18:37] and I sent you an email about it a day or two ago asking if you had any questions that's short

[18:42] and sweet and we can put it on for September 3rd and act on it. The elections are coming quickly.

[18:50] So if you have any questions on that we'll talk about that when we get to that piece. But that's my

[18:56] my speaking points. Does anybody have questions on anything? I touched on anything, Julie.

[19:02] I just have two questions. One, she's just saying we don't need a policy, not that we don't have to

[19:11] honor the leave that's available, just that we just don't need a policy.

[19:17] And then you had mentioned about opening day trainings and you had mentioned that

[19:23] you were doing structural harassment for new staff?

[19:25] Are you not doing, I thought you had,

[19:27] I thought we had a, I thought in New York State,

[19:30] we have to do it annually for all staff.

[19:31] Is there not something for all staff?

[19:33] No, you're correct.

[19:35] We'll have to pull that off at some point,

[19:37] but my opening day from 9.45 to 11.15,

[19:41] it's just gonna be the new staff,

[19:42] but you're absolutely correct.

[19:44] Okay.

[19:44] I'm sure a year or two ago,

[19:45] I think where it's the requirement every year.

[19:48] Okay, I just was curious.

[19:49] I think last year we did do a virtually, we have nicer, our insurance reciprocal has

[19:56] that as an offering, so that's something, and they give us a D and now I think some

[20:00] of those trainees have that by September 30th, so if neural dives is available in his

[20:05] time slot to pull up everything that he can do, we can always use nicer like we did previous

[20:15] days.

[20:16] I just wanted to touch on the PPE concern that I had emailed you, Tim, about you had stated

[20:23] that, you know, we had enough to get started, but, you know, at some point, we didn't get

[20:29] all that we had ordered. Rebecca did, when Harold spoke about it last night, did he speak

[20:37] as a Boses employee about the ability to communicate with Boses and them being able to communicate

[20:46] with SED? Sort of. He talked about different venues or different things they'd heard from other

[20:54] districts in terms of partnerships with different entities, healthcare entities perhaps, or

[21:01] I guess some sort of unique ways to try to source out or find some supplies. Nothing really specific.

[21:12] I think both. He said that Boses is struggling just as much as any other district.

[21:19] That's not the message that I got last night at my Boses meeting.

[21:23] I brought it up. Did we order through the Boses?

[21:30] Yes, so Deb Besswick was in charge of organizing that.

[21:35] And, you know, there were, we got what we ordered.

[21:40] I don't know where we are, did we do that for a second.

[21:45] Yeah, our first shipment, we've got received in full,

[21:49] where our second shipment, we've received some items on,

[21:53] and the rest of it's supposed to be coming back to me every week.

[21:56] Now, the 2G is we've been looking even at other vendors,

[22:00] because if we get desperate, but these vendors send us multiple

[22:04] advertising every day and they're out. So that's where we were starting to get a little nervous. So if you learned last night, I'll see

[22:11] area to meeting Monday and that's a conversation that we should have. I mean, Perry did not express at all that they

[22:20] you know weren't prepared. Okay, and I didn't I don't mean to to mispeak and say that it wasn't a matter of

[22:26] preparation. It's just a matter of consistency of preparation to last the long haul. That was the concern. Not that there's not

[22:32] prepared right now, but in long-term, you know, four months, five months, six months,

[22:37] depending on nobody knows what the world's going to be like, and that was the concern about

[22:40] being able to consistently get what we need when we need it. One of the things we've encountered

[22:47] too is that we're ordering places are advertising that they have stuff, we're ordering,

[22:53] we're paying, they're taking our money, and then we're waiting six months to find out,

[22:59] sorry we can't get it to you. Yeah we get inundated daily with companies trying

[23:06] to get our business and our money but then when you go to follow up on it

[23:09] they're out. And they're expensive. Yeah it's a more expensive than what you're

[23:13] both. Do we have a guesstimation of how long our supplies will last at this

[23:21] point?

[23:24] I am hoping that the supplies on the cleaning side last I think they

[23:29] calculated today probably about a month or they fill all the bottles that are

[23:34] going on all the classrooms. I think they used five gallons to do that but

[23:38] they're anticipating that it's going to be used up pretty quickly by the

[23:42] number of signs that they're going to have to use it in the classroom so they'll be

[23:45] filling bottles quite a bit. The thing that we are unable to get a lot of is the

[23:51] wipes.

[23:53] So we're on spray bottles with cloths and the cloths will be wander each

[24:00] tonight, with the news going into the bit.

[24:06] I think mask wise, Genie, and some of that equipment

[24:09] I think were OK for a while.

[24:11] We ordered gowns and booties and shields and things.

[24:16] I think we'll need to revisit that, depending

[24:19] on how many suspected cases that we have.

[24:23] And I think we'll go over the top on the word supplies

[24:26] because I didn't want to, if we end up going virtual,

[24:41] we've got a plan for when we get down to a certain level of place in other order.

[24:46] One of the things we also had trouble getting lights and one of the things we did as an alternative in addition to the cloth just because that's that's hard is we were able to get alcohol

[24:59] lights, wipes with a high enough alcohol content that they would also serve the

[25:05] purpose. So I don't know that just to tuck in the back of your head for if you

[25:10] decide you want to try to get your hands on some wipes. I think you have 240

[25:15] containers of those coming up for both you did. Cool.

[25:29] You had mentioned with

[25:30] athletics it would be socially distanced. Is there a mask requirement for all or

[25:37] or how will after school programs work when it comes to our mask policy and social distancing?

[25:44] I think it all carries over from the school day.

[25:49] The social distancing for athletics, of course, would be the crowd.

[25:52] And we'd have to either take off or mark off bleachers.

[25:56] Most of the sporting events I want to do that are outside people kind of bring their own lawn chairs and stuff like that.

[26:02] so we probably have to somehow markers or if we shouldn't have a tremendous amount of people

[26:09] if each athlete is only allowed to have two spectators with them. What's unfortunate about

[26:15] that is our kids like to come to those things and that kind of limits who can come and watch.

[26:21] The other tricky piece of sports that we can't figure out is why you're allowed to play soccer and

[26:27] It would be nice to somebody, but in PE, we still are told we have to keep a good 12-week

[26:31] part.

[26:32] So, we're hoping there's going to be.

[26:35] It was more towards the actual athletes because our current policy is masks one socially

[26:41] distance.

[26:42] So, I know athletics is a whole other issue, but are we saying after school activities and

[26:49] athletics that there's no mask requirement and like, is it an after school sort of thing

[26:54] or is it a case-by-case thing?

[26:57] I think we're going to have a way for guidance

[26:58] on that.

[27:00] I think it might be based on the fact

[27:04] that those activities,

[27:07] soccer, I don't understand the difference between soccer and football,

[27:09] but soccer is an outdoor activity.

[27:12] And cheerleading is an outdoor activity

[27:13] as this cross-country volleyball is indoors.

[27:16] So I'm guessing that's why that delineation.

[27:19] I mean, obviously you can be socially distancing volleyball,

[27:21] but you're inside.

[27:22] So the air circulation I think is the piece about what might separate volleyball from soccer

[27:27] but I don't have any ideas about why soccer over football.

[27:31] Maybe because you stand next to one another when you're head to head, when you do football

[27:35] and you're not when you're at soccer, you're spread out.

[27:39] But I think it's the indoor versus the outdoor environment if I had to guess.

[27:44] Tina, we'll keep people posted.

[27:46] So I guess the answer to your question, if we had an extra curricular club activity of

[27:51] some sort, masks are expected sports guidance, I think is its own wrong that we have to

[27:58] take guidance from New York State on, and we're still waiting for more of that.

[28:05] It's just kind of crazy that they can play soccer on a team in a competition after school

[28:11] without a mask, but they can play soccer in a gym spaced out even further the

[28:19] whole time with a mask.

[28:21] All right, I agree, yeah,

[28:44] recognition of visitors.

[28:48] First, I'd like to read this

[28:49] due to the storming conditions this evening and the event that we lose power

[28:53] and cannot continue the meeting will postpone any unfinished business until the next

[28:59] board meeting.

[29:04] And due to the COVID-19 pandemic and pursuant to an executive order of the New

[29:10] York State Governor, the Bainbridge Guildford Central School District, is holding its public board

[29:15] meeting remotely. In consideration of the unique circumstances presented and the inability to

[29:21] effectively permit and or control public comment, the board will be waving the public comment portion

[29:27] of tonight's meeting. Should any member of the public wish to bring them out of the board's

[29:32] attention they are courage to do so in writing to Timothy Ryan Superintendent of

[29:37] school at T Ryan at btcsd.org have

[29:51] no csc minutes gone

[29:57] to personnel

[30:00] A certified personnel, and I have a motion to accept a certified personnel as presented.

[30:11] I'll move it, Tina.

[30:16] Okay, Shelley.

[30:24] Discussion?

[30:39] Yes, Emily?

[30:44] I can see it.

[30:50] It's really dark. It's getting dark out, right? Hold your hand up next to Orlando, and I can see it.

[31:01] I feel

[31:05] like a ghost.

[31:07] I think you're a Cavalero state house.

[31:11] They have a motion to accept non-certified personnel as presented.

[31:21] So move.

[31:25] I'll go with them.

[31:28] Second.

[31:33] Emily seconded.

[31:34] The team.

[31:35] Okay.

[31:36] Yes,

[31:39] discussion motion

[31:58] took that except sports personnel as presented

[32:07] second.

[32:13] I'll second

[32:19] discussion they

[32:33] have a motion to accept in business office financial reports

[32:40] so moved

[32:44] Yep, I'll second questions

[32:52] for Janice

[32:54] I have a couple on the general fund sheet for June 2020.

[33:02] The ending balance of $1,942 for $2,306 is that our balance as of the fiscal year?

[33:16] Are you

[33:18] looking at the price of the report or?

[33:22] I'm not at the top says general fund underlined June 2020 gives beginning

[33:32] balance receipts, disbursements, and ending balance.

[33:36] The ending balance is under the treasurer's record and let's see, the ending

[33:42] balance is 355,000.

[33:51] Let me show you the sheet I'm looking at, hold on, is it the treasurer's support

[33:56] on the front? It's this.

[34:06] I'm sorry. Oh, that's investment? Yes, that's investments. That's

[34:13] money invested in our yes.

[34:23] That is that is general fund money, but that's an investment account

[34:27] that's a checking account. Okay. So what was our what was our ending balance for the fiscal year?

[34:35] We haven't finalized all that stuff with the auditors yet, but it's around that mark. Yes.

[34:41] And the point I last board meeting, we talked about funding the reserves in the fact that we would have about 1.8 million last 800 is the 4% and a little bit of a million over it over and above that of another 5.1 to try to

[34:57] bridge the gap for some of these clubs.

[35:00] Okay. I just want to be sure I'm, you know, understanding what I'm seeing.

[35:08] Yep.

[35:08] Then the other question I have is on the lunch fund.

[35:14] Is it the profit and loss?

[35:16] One of the tensors report still.

[35:20] It

[35:25] said, it's the large document that's made small on the page.

[35:30] It says school lunch profit and loss.

[35:34] What is the two thousand four eighty eight seventy one figure in June on the lunch line?

[35:45] Those are deferred revenues so those are money on the accounts that students haven't spent yet.

[35:54] Oh, okay, so they paid for lunch as we had the back of the account and put it in deferred

[35:58] revenue because they haven't actually used it yet. Gotcha. Okay, perfect.

[36:05] Thank you.

[36:06] I have a question, Janice.

[36:08] I noted the class of 2020 has a balance still.

[36:13] Normally, they have to clear that out.

[36:16] Are they hoping to still maybe do some events or something?

[36:21] I'm not sure exactly what's happening with that.

[36:24] I haven't checked with Jodie on that one.

[36:26] I believe that they were doing something with it.

[36:30] I'm sorry.

[36:31] All right, I'm not sure on that one is my thought correct that usually they try to zero it out by graduation or some they do usually try to zero it out but they go sometimes it doesn't happen prior to due because the class still needs to possibly make a decision on what they want to do with their money.

[36:50] Okay, and if they don't zero it out, the money goes to student council.

[36:55] Okay, thank you.

[36:56] more

[36:59] questions for Janice,

[37:19] full business, and I have a motion to accept the old

[37:23] business as presented. Request the promo to resend the BOE policy regarding

[37:29] leave, leaves of absence for COVID-19, qualifying reasons for legal counsel.

[37:35] No more.

[37:39] Second,

[37:43] second, second,

[37:49] second,

[37:58] new

[38:04] business. And I have a motion to request

[38:09] approval for the MOA for the BGTA regarding school counselors and social workers in

[38:16] the 2020 2021 school year.

[38:23] I'll move it Tina.

[38:27] Second,

[38:30] I'll second.

[38:31] Tim,

[38:39] is this something we do every year or is this unique to this school year?

[38:42] This is unique to this summer because we're so far behind.

[38:46] Their contracts allow them to work 20 days and we need them more.

[38:51] We're not getting ready.

[38:53] Everything we need to be reopening.

[38:55] So many of them have been coming in well above and beyond with the language

[39:02] and the contract says this is just to pay them for two additional work days.

[39:06] so unique to the sun.

[39:09] It sunsets at the end of the summer.

[39:29] The other one under there

[39:30] is the first green of the Bowie,

[39:32] DOE policy regarding student registration

[39:36] and pre-registration of the vote,

[39:39] and we'll vote on that at the next board meeting.

[39:43] Everybody's had a chance to take a look at it.

[39:45] It's only two paragraphs long.

[39:52] Board events,

[40:07] It's, it's still being finalized case. I was told last night at my Boses Board meeting that the offerings, the different.

[40:23] trainings are going to be available to like after the first of the year.

[40:30] So I will be

[40:34] quote unquote attending. So, you know, I'm happy to share any information, give you the

[40:40] ability to access those if none of you are. I know we didn't budget for it. So I'm happy to share

[40:49] all that with you. Also the resolutions committee, tomorrow I'm expecting the final document of

[40:58] what's going to go to the annual meeting and I'll be forwarding that all to you so that you can

[41:03] review the resolutions that are going to come up for. One's I read there, it's like 30 on.

[41:10] There were, there were 28, 29, yep to begin with.

[41:13] I

[41:16] have a question. Do you have any idea if we can have somebody attend that meeting even

[41:23] if we don't attend the rest of the convention?

[41:27] I'm not 100% sure on this answer, Shelly, but I believe it's no. You would have to register

[41:34] and the cost to register. Because I inquired about that last night because I can't quote, quote

[41:43] So I tend much of the convention this year, because I can't take time off from work.

[41:51] So my question was similar to that, because I have.

[41:55] I guess it's unfortunate, because I read through some of the resolutions, and you know,

[42:02] in a year where you'd really want a lot of input from people, districts are going to be in

[42:07] this, probably a lot of them are in the similar boat.

[42:09] but we are not able to send representatives,

[42:12] and so it's just unfortunate.

[42:15] Well, perhaps that's something,

[42:18] if you wanted to put something in writing about it,

[42:21] I'd be happy to forward it on

[42:22] so that it gets to the people that need to hear it.

[42:25] The registration is, like I said, it's $260 for the virtual person.

[42:36] So, again, if you feel strongly about that,

[42:39] Yeah, I support about that. I'm happy to forward that out for you in

[42:45] the school events.

[42:46] Tim already spoke of staff development days on September 2nd and 3rd, 8 to 9.

[42:54] And first days of school for students September 10th and the 11th.

[43:01] Ken, I know you already had said about what groups go on Wednesday, but could you repeat

[43:08] facts. I don't think I was clear. I understand. Sure. Grace A students come

[43:14] Thursday the 10th group B comes Friday the 11th. That's not the normal schedule

[43:20] but we're using those days to give all the Chromebooks out those days and we

[43:25] want the students to get them fairly fast. Monday goes back to group A from

[43:30] Monday and Tuesday the next week and group B Thursday Friday. Okay and when do

[43:35] parents know what, I mean, it's alphabetical, but when, where's the official cut-off letter,

[43:40] like the letter of the alphabet? It's coming. So the principals work on all that and I eat

[43:45] exactly when each of their buildings is sending that out, but it's fairly quickly. Okay.

[43:52] If your children are fully virtual, you can pick up your computer for your child,

[43:58] the afternoon of the eighth from 2 to 5. Okay.

[44:06] Thank you. Are we thinking when group A comes

[44:09] that Thursday? Are they going online virtual like the next day? So they get the hang of it and then

[44:16] Friday they're digging right in and attending online.

[44:22] Say about again, Tina.

[44:25] Group A will go to school on Thursday the night.

[44:30] Then Friday they're at home on their computer and

[44:36] Yes, so if they're going to grade level where they have to grade 5 to 12 follow along to the course,

[44:44] at this time that's supposed to start Friday.

[44:50] So your daughter's going into fifth, correct?

[44:53] Yes.

[44:54] So she has to, Jen talked about how it's not going to be the point.

[45:00] Class, but at that very level, she will have to log in for the core classes and each grade level will have specific minutes that they need to be involved in that core class. So that should start Friday. Yeah, the student that information can come home, I think, for parents for planning and daycare purposes, the better. Yeah, it's done. I'm just not sure when each of their buildings is sending out.

[45:29] Yeah, anything

[45:42] anybody under Ms. Laney's you have anything if

[45:51] not we do not need to go back into executive session. I have a motion to adjourn.

[45:57] We do not need to go back into executive.

[46:03] Oh, okay. Thank you.

[46:07] Motion to adjourn.

[46:09] Come on.

[46:10] Thank you.

[46:13] I love it.

[46:14] Our favorite.

[46:20] Meeting is a good thing.

[46:24] Have a good night.

[46:25] Thank you.

[46:25] Have a good evening.

[46:26] Have a good evening.
