1
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:02,240
I'll just. All right, everyone, welcome to our monday,
July 28th regular school board meeting.

2
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:10,200
first off, I would like to excuse connie hennessey from the meeting today. She's out of
Town, but she will be at our next meeting.

3
00:00:17,240 --> 00:00:17,240
so let's start with the pledge of allegiance if you'll all rise.

4
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,560
okay, next up, we have our land acknowledgment. Read by bamini. I acknowledge that the geographical region of campas is located on the
Ancestral and territorial lands of the chinook and cowlitz people,

5
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:52,400
and that the chinook are still fighting to be a federally recognized tribe on their own
Land.

6
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:58,000
thank you. Bamini. Next we'll move on to item 2.c board communications.

7
00:01:03,020 --> 00:01:03,020
I'll open it up to any of you if you want to share anything that's been going on this past
Month.

8
00:01:09,580 --> 00:01:09,580
it's been, it's summer. So we, I will say all of us up here on this dais,
We're helping out with the camas days

9
00:01:19,500 --> 00:01:19,500
parade on saturday, which was a lot of fun getting that organized and everybody in the
Right line,

10
00:01:24,540 --> 00:01:24,540
in the right order. Lots of great representation from the school district as well.

11
00:01:29,700 --> 00:01:29,700
mr. Mancini, our retiring high school band director,
Was the grand marshal.

12
00:01:33,860 --> 00:01:33,860
we had the cheerleaders and the band and robotics and deca and the dance team.

13
00:01:39,060 --> 00:01:42,180
there was quite a bit of representation at that grand parade. So thanks to everybody who helped out. I also want to thank the members of the camas high
School asb and the student,

14
00:01:50,300 --> 00:01:50,300
sac volunteers who helped us out with carrying banners.

15
00:01:54,500 --> 00:01:54,500
we had more than enough, which was great. So that was awesome.

16
00:01:58,930 --> 00:01:58,930
other than that. Not a whole lot to report. Matthew and john and I have met a couple of
Times.

17
00:02:06,810 --> 00:02:06,810
working on the formation of our arts advisory committee,
And still kind of working on kind of fleshing that out a little bit more,

18
00:02:15,810 --> 00:02:15,810
exactly what we want to do. I think we'll bring it to our planning session in august. But
Other than that,

19
00:02:21,010 --> 00:02:21,010
I don't think I really have anything else to report. You took my first two.

20
00:02:26,810 --> 00:02:26,810
although yesterday, the weekend was. It was a great day on saturday,
And even on friday it was great.

21
00:02:31,570 --> 00:02:31,570
I got to help with the robotics students get set up in the morning.

22
00:02:35,930 --> 00:02:39,450
and I'll just concur with corey on the arts advisory. I think we're making good headway. And really,
It's been a, we've gone over a lot of topics with it.

23
00:02:46,210 --> 00:02:46,210
so I think it'll be interesting for our discussion at the planning meeting. A couple
Things,

24
00:02:51,410 --> 00:02:51,410
I don't know. Probably one thing I did is I,
In the spring when we were discussing some things with athletics,

25
00:02:58,910 --> 00:02:58,910
and stephen baranowski gave me access to the training program that coaches have to go
Through,

26
00:03:03,470 --> 00:03:03,470
like all the required training. I did start taking some of the mandatory training that all
Our,

27
00:03:08,190 --> 00:03:08,190
all the staff have to take the vector training. I was just curious as to if it's any
Better than the mandatory training I have to take at work.

28
00:03:15,150 --> 00:03:15,150
but I found it very interesting so far. So I'm going through some of that.

29
00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:19,190
I want to thank amy for getting me access to it,
Because I needed something to fill in in the evenings between other shows that I watched.

30
00:03:26,110 --> 00:03:26,110
how are you doing with your bloodborne pathogens? I haven't gotten to that. Okay,
But I am like 45% through.

31
00:03:31,990 --> 00:03:34,590
so, you know, at least I can comment on all of it. But I just did asthma training. And then I will highlight two of.

32
00:03:40,990 --> 00:03:40,990
you feel safer around me now? I just want to be able to know,
Like, what everyone has to go through for training,

33
00:03:45,750 --> 00:03:49,682
right? You know, and just in case. Yeah. There you go. [laughter] well, if it doesn't change. If it doesn't change,
Then it gets really boring.

34
00:03:53,990 --> 00:03:53,990
yeah. See, that's a problem. That's another reason why I wanted to take it.

35
00:03:58,290 --> 00:03:58,290
just to be able to testify that. There's two other things I know,
One came out today, so I don't know if anybody wants to go blueberry picking on friday,

36
00:04:05,450 --> 00:04:05,450
but doreen sent out that there's a blueberry picking event at majestic,
And all the blueberries go to the,

37
00:04:11,650 --> 00:04:11,650
for the two hour period, go to the campus school district for food service,
So.

38
00:04:15,890 --> 00:04:15,890
I love, my wife does not want me to go blueberry picking because our freezer is still full
From the prior year,

39
00:04:21,690 --> 00:04:21,690
but I'll go do that. I mean, so I might actually take some time off to.

40
00:04:28,997 --> 00:04:28,997
I'll be there. You will be there. Okay. Have you gone before blueberry picking?

41
00:04:33,164 --> 00:04:37,010
only blackberries. Oh, you've never done blueberry. Oh,
It's super fun. And majestic is really nice, isn't it? Yes, it is. Is one of the best places to go.

42
00:04:41,250 --> 00:04:41,250
and it's not a plug. I don't have any, but. Oh,
I'm just loving july meetings.

43
00:04:45,570 --> 00:04:48,490
july meetings? And the other one is this friday. This friday in each of the next five, four fridays after that,
We do have, camas has movies in the park at dorothy fox.

44
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:55,040
so if anyone has time on a friday evening and you want to see a good movie,
I will be there on friday.

45
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:01,440
I still don't haven't gotten in touch with parks. I tried to reach out about a spot,
But they won't mind. I do have pink glow bracelets for the students and young people that

46
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,200
come through, so we'll just. I'll represent the board. But if anybody else wants to watch barbie on friday,
I don't have any pink.

47
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,480
I'll be there. So that's an upcoming event. Yeah. If anyone else wants to be there, that's it. That's all I have.

48
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:24,960
okay, next time, we're going to change orders up because I can't top any of this.

49
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:29,480
oh, it's like a downer. But on the same hand,
Kind of did the same thing as what corey said.

50
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:37,560
the parade is amazing. I do love seeing all friendly faces,
Familiar faces out there.

51
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,080
and I enjoy the opportunity to help you guys out. And you guys do an amazing job. And the just walking down the street looking at all the
Kids throwing candy.

52
00:05:54,020 --> 00:05:57,420
it's a fun time. I'm glad I was here for it. You got to present awards,
Too. I did. You presented the best award for walking.

53
00:06:00,500 --> 00:06:04,220
right, to noah. And that was an honor. It was an honor. Yeah. He cried. I got a hug. Did you get a hug?

54
00:06:06,700 --> 00:06:10,340
no. Oh, see, he can't top that either. He's a big kid. And he gave me a. Oh. Is he? Oh, great. Oh, great.

55
00:06:14,380 --> 00:06:14,380
great, great. I get that. Yeah. But no. Thank you.

56
00:06:18,540 --> 00:06:18,540
okay. Yeah. As I get down to the end, you just say ditto,
Because we all do the same things.

57
00:06:23,180 --> 00:06:23,180
but again, camas days, this was my third year doing the parade on our own,
And I think we're.

58
00:06:29,260 --> 00:06:29,260
I think we've got it corey. And we had lots of volunteers,
And it's been great having all the help that we've had.

59
00:06:34,180 --> 00:06:34,180
so anyway, thank you guys all for the lively conversation of what's been going on.

60
00:06:39,740 --> 00:06:39,740
all right. If there's nothing else, we will move on to item 3.a and I will turn it over to
John for his superintendent report.

61
00:06:47,420 --> 00:06:47,420
all right. Let's see if we can do this. Yes. Look at that.

62
00:06:54,330 --> 00:06:54,330
nice, quick. So I'm skipping enrollment right now.

63
00:06:58,410 --> 00:06:58,410
obviously, with it being july, we'll have that coming back to you in the next couple of
Months.

64
00:07:04,050 --> 00:07:04,050
we're hopeful, optimistically hopeful. And I think right now our estimate regarding
Enrollment is that will be down again.

65
00:07:13,610 --> 00:07:13,610
but again, we're staying hopeful. I heard earlier today that that the prune hill area is
Starting to show some growth.

66
00:07:22,250 --> 00:07:22,250
there's some development there. Although expensive we're seeing some movement there,
So we may see a little bit of a boost in that area of town.

67
00:07:32,370 --> 00:07:35,370
not to mention the lack of miss lake elementary area. So keeping our eye on things. But I'll have a better idea of enrollment as we get into
This the start of the school year.

68
00:07:42,090 --> 00:07:45,610
just really kind of wrapping up where we at with budget reductions. I know you've seen this slide before, but I always like to get on the record.

69
00:07:49,530 --> 00:07:49,530
the reason why the reductions occurred and that were still not out of the woods yet.

70
00:07:55,710 --> 00:07:55,710
expenses, of course, exceeding revenues. And we're doing our best to assure that up.

71
00:07:59,750 --> 00:08:03,350
I really hope to present a balanced budget to you next month. We're still fine tuning a couple of things, and we're waiting for some contracts to
Settle.

72
00:08:09,150 --> 00:08:09,150
again, we're projecting some declining enrollment to continue for the next couple of
Years.

73
00:08:14,310 --> 00:08:18,110
and I'll show you I'll remind you of that slide in just a minute. Of course, inflation and labor market pressures are still out there.

74
00:08:21,590 --> 00:08:21,590
we all feel that no matter what sector you're in,
Private sector public, everyone is feeling the pinch of that,

75
00:08:28,950 --> 00:08:28,950
including our families. Utilization of our reserve fund,
Of course, it's gone down tremendously,

76
00:08:36,110 --> 00:08:36,110
but we're working to build that back up and I'll show you in another,
In a minute with the budget report facing that shortfall and then we still have some open

77
00:08:45,310 --> 00:08:45,310
contracts. So we're really pleased that we've gotten very far to a tea with our teachers.

78
00:08:51,650 --> 00:08:54,530
we're waiting on ratification. On august 11th. And if all goes well, that'll be a big hurdle for us to get through right before the
School year starts.

79
00:09:01,530 --> 00:09:01,530
and I know amy and her team have already started to have some preliminary conversations
With our principals group.

80
00:09:07,770 --> 00:09:07,770
and so there's a salary opener. Keep in mind it's not a full contract negotiation.

81
00:09:13,250 --> 00:09:13,250
but we'll be getting to that very soon as the principals start to come back.

82
00:09:18,250 --> 00:09:18,250
and we also have ta'd with caop our building secretary's group.

83
00:09:23,130 --> 00:09:23,130
so really excited about that work. Kudos to our hr team and and everybody who's been
Involved.

84
00:09:28,650 --> 00:09:28,650
our negotiation team worked hours and hours and hours over the summer to to get that done.

85
00:09:33,890 --> 00:09:33,890
and as well as, of course, the negotiation teams on the labor side.

86
00:09:39,370 --> 00:09:39,370
again, keep in mind we've been talking about this really at nauseum for many,
Many, many months.

87
00:09:44,810 --> 00:09:44,810
so none of this should be new. But I always like to remind you of kind of where we're at.

88
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:50,600
regarding enrollment, this is really where our projection is for the next year and beyond
Into the 28-29 school year.

89
00:09:59,640 --> 00:09:59,640
we're projecting 6758. So would be another drop from last year.

90
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,400
again, we're staying optimistic to see if we get some growth. But this would be about a 2% decline from where we're currently at.

91
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,080
we're really looking at this becoming our new norm,
At least for a while. And so we're settling in, and hopefully our staffing will align more to what our
Enrollment looks like.

92
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:27,080
questions on that. All right. A couple other,
You know, concerning numbers and I've added a little bit to this

93
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:36,920
for this month, you see that this is really a national rhetoric,
But also a conversation that's happening throughout washington state where public school

94
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:44,760
enrollment is down. Actually recently sat down with kelly moyer around a homeschool
Conversation.

95
00:10:50,060 --> 00:10:53,340
she really wanted to dig into a little bit of our numbers. And and if we're feeling that same pinch that the rest of the state and even the rest of
The nation is seeing,

96
00:10:59,140 --> 00:10:59,140
and we are one of the numbers that I added is on that third line,
With homeschool enrollment being up 42% across the state specifically for

97
00:11:08,700 --> 00:11:08,700
camas, we had 352 withdrawals last school this past school year,
But only 24 of those students and those families went to either homeschool or

98
00:11:18,460 --> 00:11:18,460
private. I couldn't exactly decipher between the two because some say homeschool and they
Go private,

99
00:11:24,300 --> 00:11:27,260
or some say private and they change their mind. But those 24 told us there was one or the other,
Which is about 7%.

100
00:11:33,180 --> 00:11:33,180
so it's still a high number, higher number than we'd like to see,
But it's not astronomical for camas.

101
00:11:39,980 --> 00:11:39,980
and many of those students, what we see that go to the private schools actually come back
Once they see that it's,

102
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:47,640
the grass isn't always greener necessarily. There's some great things that our private
Schools offer,

103
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:52,080
but there are some things that are public schools offer that the private school simply
Can't. So I'm keeping an eye on those on those numbers.

104
00:11:58,440 --> 00:11:58,440
and we're going to continue to do those exit interviews with our families and impress upon
The principals to continue to have those relationships,

105
00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:05,680
even if the families decide to leave. Hey, you know,
Can you tell us a little bit about where you're going and why and how we can better our

106
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,480
system so that maybe that's not an option in the future? Corey, did you, okay. A couple other numbers.

107
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:20,800
you see, with the housing market, which continues to kind of be an obstacle for us,
That median home price went up again in june from may,

108
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:29,000
about almost 11%. So families are having to pay upwards to $864,000 for just a simple
Residential home.

109
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:38,640
and as of last month, it was at 852, so again,
Families, really, really, young families specifically continuing to struggle buying here

110
00:12:48,030 --> 00:12:51,750
in camas. And I even saw an article in the columbian today around vancouver. And their rental prices are astronomical for a studio apartment close to $2,000 a month.

111
00:12:57,390 --> 00:12:57,390
so it's not even like the more urban cities are having any reprieve.

112
00:13:02,350 --> 00:13:02,350
yes, it's probably less expensive than camas,
But they're struggling as well, and homes that are currently on the market for 28 days,

113
00:13:10,830 --> 00:13:10,830
which is seven, which compared to seven days last year.

114
00:13:15,550 --> 00:13:15,550
so homes are sitting a little bit longer. And of course,
Between the prices and the interest rates.

115
00:13:20,870 --> 00:13:20,870
so talking to a lot of families at camas days,
So many of those families want to live in kansas and just simply can't right now.

116
00:13:29,150 --> 00:13:29,150
and so it's just so great when we do get to see those young families come in.

117
00:13:34,270 --> 00:13:34,270
but we're just not seeing that in droves, like,
Many years ago or not even recently.

118
00:13:39,350 --> 00:13:39,350
so questions on on those numbers. I know I always sound like a real estate agent when I
Talk about this,

119
00:13:45,090 --> 00:13:45,090
but it's such a connection to what we do in our growth.

120
00:13:49,130 --> 00:13:49,130
right. So and I did want to just mention rental numbers because some say,
Well, maybe, maybe the renters are having some reprieve and they're really not.

121
00:13:58,170 --> 00:13:58,170
if you look especially down towards the bottom,
The three-bedroom rentals are 2400 a month,

122
00:14:03,530 --> 00:14:06,730
houses for rent and camas are averaging close to 3000 a month. So even the rents are high, mainly because people have to pay their mortgages and so their
Rents have to be high.

123
00:14:12,530 --> 00:14:12,530
so just again, numbers to keep an eye on and we'll see if those start coming down.

124
00:14:21,490 --> 00:14:21,490
making our intentional decisions. So a lot of decisions have been made,
But we still have a lot of decisions that that will be made around our budget and

125
00:14:31,330 --> 00:14:31,330
trying to ensure stability now and into the future.

126
00:14:35,570 --> 00:14:35,570
a lot of these numbers you've seen already, I think number four is very important that
Cost containment isn't going to end just because we're starting to hit our numbers,

127
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:45,520
we have to continue that because we're not foreseeing a great influx from the state
Anytime soon.

128
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,240
and our enrollment doesn't seem to be going the right direction. And so we're just all going to have to continue pinching.

129
00:14:59,080 --> 00:14:59,080
we are, as a team, a cabinet team, we're very,
Very careful about what we're posting and when.

130
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,960
meaning that we're always going to look at the classroom first. So you're not going to see a lot of robust admin moves and things like that.

131
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:13,120
it's really going to be the inside out, just like we did the outside in on the other way.

132
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,760
and so cost containment will continue to be a priority for us. But also on the positive end, marketing our schools like just being out of camas days,
That those are little things that we can do to just talk to people,

133
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:29,760
encourage people, celebrate our successes. And that's going to be a big,
Big talking point for us going into this year.

134
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:37,440
I'll share in a minute, a couple of things that doreen is doing with communications to
Really celebrate our successes,

135
00:15:45,660 --> 00:15:45,660
but again, not over correcting, staying the course,
Making sure that we're, you know, we would love to hire back every single person that is

136
00:15:53,620 --> 00:15:57,500
not currently going to be with us, but we just simply can't do that. And so we're going to be very strategic on those add backs.

137
00:16:01,300 --> 00:16:01,300
and embracing our new normal, like I said before,
We're no longer a 7000 student district.

138
00:16:05,780 --> 00:16:05,780
we're no longer a 7400 student district. And that's okay.

139
00:16:10,020 --> 00:16:10,020
yes. It's been painful to align our staffing to that,
But I think rolling up our sleeves and really digging into the work,

140
00:16:17,260 --> 00:16:19,980
I think there's some really good things about that. And again, the add back conversations we've begun,
Those we have been holding on some things until after the cea ratification on the 11th.

141
00:16:28,580 --> 00:16:28,580
we want to kind of wait just because if anything goes wrong or awry we don't want to
Overcommit.

142
00:16:34,940 --> 00:16:34,940
and so you've seen a couple postings, but those were out of necessity,
Just based on urgent need,

143
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:41,080
but you'll probably see a little bit more ad back postings specifically around teachers
After august 11th and right around that august 15th

144
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:50,640
time. So I know we're kind of backing up close to the school year,
But you know, I know there's still some people,

145
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:56,280
some wonderful people waiting out there for a position and want to stay here in camas.

146
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:01,560
so questions on any of that. I know some of that's old,
But but some of that's new as well.

147
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:07,680
okay. I do want to introduce kim. I know it's probably putting you on the spot there.

148
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,800
the big picture there, but kim noah is here tonight. Thank you. Kim. She's not even on the clock yet,
And so she decided to join us.

149
00:17:18,120 --> 00:17:18,120
she heard how, you know, fun we are here. So kim,
As you can see here, comes to us with a lot of experience.

150
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:25,880
obviously, she's managed very large budgets even larger than here in camas.

151
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:30,800
and she's just really excited to be here. We were really,
Really fortunate to have someone of kim's caliber apply and actually accept the position,

152
00:17:39,590 --> 00:17:39,590
so we're happy to get started, kim's scheduled to start on friday,
August 1st officially,

153
00:17:44,630 --> 00:17:44,630
correct? And so she's getting acclimated with you and the staff.

154
00:17:49,270 --> 00:17:52,390
and she got to meet some of the staff tonight. Kim lives in washougal with her 16-year-old son.

155
00:17:55,670 --> 00:17:55,670
she also has a 28-year-old son who lives in vancouver and is a data analyst,
So it doesn't fall far from the tree there,

156
00:18:02,190 --> 00:18:05,670
I guess, with fisher investments. And so we're excited to have kim. She's a really good spirit and really has that combination of that financial acumen,
But also very personable and enjoyable to work with.

157
00:18:13,310 --> 00:18:13,310
so, kim, welcome officially, any questions for me on kim or for kim?

158
00:18:19,070 --> 00:18:21,190
you know, you don't have a speech ready, do you? Okay. All right, 20 questions. Here we go. As I've mentioned before I really want to thank
Again both teams from

159
00:18:31,150 --> 00:18:31,150
caop as well as cea who worked so hard to get this deal done.

160
00:18:35,830 --> 00:18:35,830
amy did a tremendous job leading our negotiation team on our side of the table.

161
00:18:40,530 --> 00:18:40,530
and I just thought that the professionalism,
The respect level, the collegiality was helpful.

162
00:18:45,730 --> 00:18:49,130
you never going to have, you know, perfect, everybody agreeing on everything. Of course that's why it's a negotiation. But I hope that beth and her team would agree
That it was actually an enjoyable process in a lot of ways.

163
00:18:56,490 --> 00:18:56,490
so I'm really excited about the 11 getting that signed and then moving on to getting a
Caop and cap done as well.

164
00:19:04,310 --> 00:19:04,310
pse not this year. So we'll move forward with them soon.

165
00:19:10,090 --> 00:19:10,090
just for the public to know you can see the messaging on the labor relations page.

166
00:19:15,930 --> 00:19:18,370
we'll continue to add to that if anything changes. Of course, a bigger announcement on the 11th or after,
If everything goes well with ratification.

167
00:19:23,850 --> 00:19:23,850
but there was a nice, nice posting on facebook on our end,
And cea has put some out as well,

168
00:19:31,090 --> 00:19:31,090
so. All right. I do also want to recognize that that the columbian recognized our district
For this work and coming together with

169
00:19:40,590 --> 00:19:40,590
cea. I thought this was great. So they the columbian every year puts out cheers and jeers.

170
00:19:45,590 --> 00:19:45,590
and if you haven't seen it, we got a cheer. Number one right at the top of the page there.

171
00:19:50,710 --> 00:19:50,710
and I thought the write up was really nice. This was from the entire staff at the
Columbian who puts this together,

172
00:19:55,710 --> 00:19:55,710
it's almost like an award show. And they said despite budget issues at the state and
District level,

173
00:20:01,270 --> 00:20:03,710
teachers and administrators have reached the tea. The contract will be reviewed in august and it provides hope that a strike will be
Avoided.

174
00:20:08,710 --> 00:20:11,590
and, you know, I don't think that was ever quite on the table. But obviously coming from historically, our recent history,
There was always a looming worry and it was so,

175
00:20:17,790 --> 00:20:17,790
so grateful that we weren't even close to going down that road at all in 2023 there's some
Mention of that history there.

176
00:20:26,510 --> 00:20:26,510
and again, we hope that this sense of collaboration continues to prevail,
And I couldn't agree with the columbian more.

177
00:20:32,870 --> 00:20:32,870
so I wanted to give that shout out. Again, just some opportunities for our community and
Our

178
00:20:42,660 --> 00:20:42,660
staff to get involved. Being a voice at the table,
We have several committees.

179
00:20:47,100 --> 00:20:47,100
matt, matt and corey mentioned our arts advisory,
So we'll have the same application deadline for each of the committees,

180
00:20:53,180 --> 00:20:53,180
whether it's cac or lac. All those other acronyms are aac now.

181
00:20:59,980 --> 00:21:02,580
and of course, our superintendent budget committee. A couple little caveats, and I really appreciate it.

182
00:21:05,260 --> 00:21:05,260
corey and matthew and then sarah lightfoot, who's going to be chairing that committee.
Really talking about making sure that all of our music educators,

183
00:21:13,540 --> 00:21:13,540
really are arts educators, will have a voice at the table,
Regardless of whether they're on the committee or not.

184
00:21:19,900 --> 00:21:19,900
so I thought that was a great addition, and we might be able to use that in some of our
Other committees,

185
00:21:24,500 --> 00:21:24,500
where you never have to feel excluded, even if you can't commit to being on that
Committee,

186
00:21:29,180 --> 00:21:29,180
you're welcome to come in, sit at the table,
Share, share your expertise, and not have to be there every time.

187
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:35,240
so I thought that was great. And we're also going to put a caveat in the application
Around that committee that we are looking for people with a bit of a background in the

188
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:45,240
arts of some sort. I think we agreed to that as well.

189
00:21:50,120 --> 00:21:52,640
and so just that's going to get off the ground. We do have some more preliminary meetings to happen,
But I'm excited.

190
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:56,160
we're really keeping to our promise that we're going to wrap our arms around all the arts,

191
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:00,680
not just band and choir, but our visual arts and everything that goes along with that.

192
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:06,800
and then, of course, our superintendent budget committees. We're always looking for new
Financial minds. Kim, I'll make sure that I get you more up to speed on that committee.

193
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:15,240
and I think you'll appreciate the transparency that happens in our district,
Especially around finances.

194
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:21,720
we're going to continue to celebrate our successes. Like I said we're asking our community
To try their best to always speak positively,

195
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:29,800
even if they're having a one-off personal issue or something that that's not working well
At a school.

196
00:22:35,790 --> 00:22:35,790
just, you know, reach out to me, reach out to the team will help you through that.

197
00:22:40,390 --> 00:22:40,390
but in public, I think it's really important for all of us to be speaking about the good
And sharing those successes,

198
00:22:46,550 --> 00:22:46,550
because it's not going to help our numbers or anything,
Really, if we're only focusing on the negative,

199
00:22:52,870 --> 00:22:52,870
there's never going to be a perfect school district. But I really personally feel that
Campus is as close,

200
00:22:58,030 --> 00:22:58,030
as close to that as possible. And then please don't ever feel like you can't contact me
Directly.

201
00:23:03,630 --> 00:23:03,630
I think we're a small enough district where I'm very accessible,
And I can always delegate to people way smarter than me.

202
00:23:10,390 --> 00:23:13,190
and so please, please, please reach out, and we can. We can probably fix almost anything. We're really getting excited.

203
00:23:19,870 --> 00:23:23,030
we're ramping up for the new year. Lisa, as I said,
Just got back. So she's going to be really, really heavily focused.

204
00:23:25,830 --> 00:23:25,830
along with derek doug, myself, katie, many members of the team,
As our principals come back with really a few areas of focus.

205
00:23:33,530 --> 00:23:33,530
one of the things that I want to impress upon everyone is that we're going to,
We understand that we're much leaner,

206
00:23:40,770 --> 00:23:44,250
and so you're not going to see a lot of new initiatives. It's really going to be building upon the things we've been working on.

207
00:23:47,210 --> 00:23:47,210
and I hope that our teachers, our paras and all of our staff feel that we're trying to
Take more things off the plate than put on.

208
00:23:55,850 --> 00:23:55,850
and so with that, nothing new. We're really going to hone in on mtss and making sure that
We center ourselves around equity and belonging and empowering our

209
00:24:05,450 --> 00:24:05,450
leaders and of adults. And even though we're smaller,
I think we're going to be mighty and we're going to really get our principals and others

210
00:24:14,930 --> 00:24:14,930
up to speed so that we can hand off the mtss work at the building level.

211
00:24:20,850 --> 00:24:20,850
you're going to hear and see a lot around the profile of a graduate.

212
00:24:25,050 --> 00:24:25,050
I really appreciate the board and how you want to really hone in on that as well and make
It a part of not just our board meetings,

213
00:24:31,750 --> 00:24:31,750
but everything we do. We've already started a lot of preliminary work around it and how
Some of that verbiage is going to be in embedded into everything we do from the pre-k

214
00:24:41,390 --> 00:24:44,150
level all the way through 12th grade and beyond. I know doreen and derek are leading that that work group,
And I think you're even going to see some visual aids around here pretty soon.

215
00:24:53,110 --> 00:24:53,110
and I think that's going to help really focus in on profile of a grad.

216
00:24:57,590 --> 00:24:57,590
always safety is at the top of our list. We are really proud that we're hosting the safety
Summit for our region at camas high school on august 4th.

217
00:25:06,110 --> 00:25:06,110
it's coming up right around the corner. So safety will continue to be there.

218
00:25:10,590 --> 00:25:10,590
always randy and sherman and the team are constantly looking at new,
Innovative ways that are out there to keep our kids and our staff safe at school and

219
00:25:20,070 --> 00:25:20,070
beyond. Again, continuing our initiatives, but nothing really new and making data driven
Decisions.

220
00:25:26,630 --> 00:25:26,630
and I've talked to lisa today, and she's excited to share some things at the planning
Session next month around data and our dashboards,

221
00:25:33,700 --> 00:25:33,700
and some of the work we're going to do with data solutions and home and home room.

222
00:25:37,940 --> 00:25:37,940
so questions on that. All right. I also am excited to do a little bit of professional
Development with my

223
00:25:47,620 --> 00:25:47,620
cabinet. And hopefully some of you if you're interested. Sherman came across this book
Called 10 times as easier than 2 times.

224
00:25:54,100 --> 00:25:54,100
and really what it's about is aiming for 10% growth in business productivity or personal
Development.

225
00:26:01,060 --> 00:26:01,060
it's actually easier and more effective than trying to improve by just two times.

226
00:26:05,300 --> 00:26:08,980
why? Because ten times forces you to focus on what truly matters. And I think this is important for us as we're learning and we have less resources to
Figure out,

227
00:26:15,380 --> 00:26:15,380
okay, what are the big priorities? What are the big ticket items that we have to focus on,

228
00:26:19,780 --> 00:26:19,780
so we're not really worrying so much about the little things that maybe don't always
Matter as much as we think they do.

229
00:26:25,420 --> 00:26:25,420
so every one of my cabinet members has a book I as well,
And we'll be doing a little bit of exercises at each cabinet meeting.

230
00:26:32,360 --> 00:26:36,240
and so, you know, if you if you like a copy,
If you don't have one, let me know. And I'd love for you to be a part of that. And nothing intense.

231
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,600
no, like hardcore book studies on friday nights or anything like that. It's really more at your leisure and learning together.

232
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:45,760
so I just wanted to let you know about that. I mentioned a little earlier a couple of
Communications additions that you may or may not be aware

233
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,520
of. And doreen just brought this to my attention today. That parentsquare has a new feature. It's called account switching.

234
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:01,840
so many of us who have kids in the district,
As well as being on staff, it's a very, very quick way that you can just switch to your

235
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:09,200
accounts now. So right under your name, you can see in red it says switch account.

236
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:13,760
I know it sounds really simple, but they didn't have this feature before. So now on the
App you can go in,

237
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:18,640
you switch to account and you go right from being superintendent to dad and back and
Forth.

238
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:23,400
so I know my kids are going to be really excited about that. It's too easy now to check up
On them.

239
00:27:28,900 --> 00:27:28,900
and then our camas app just again. I know you know about this,
But those of you that don't out there please go to your app store download the camas app.

240
00:27:37,540 --> 00:27:41,500
it's aligned to our new website. You can see the home page on the left. And then I just kind of highlighted a quick calendar of events and which is really nice
For families to to go in.

241
00:27:48,900 --> 00:27:52,660
and you can do almost everything on the app that you can do on the website. So I really like the app. I think apptegy has done a really nice job.

242
00:27:55,860 --> 00:27:55,860
endurance really led getting us into the 21st century.

243
00:28:00,540 --> 00:28:00,540
on this. So and I know you guys already hit this,
But I just wanted to show some highlights.

244
00:28:07,140 --> 00:28:07,140
there's a mayor and myself and karen. Karen is the president of clark college,
So she joined us this year in announcing the kids parade.

245
00:28:15,460 --> 00:28:18,980
and that was a lot of fun. You see a couple pictures there. And then you see our robotics. Also they they actually were part of both parades,
Which was pretty neat.

246
00:28:25,380 --> 00:28:27,930
so there's a little weather. Could not have been better. I thought there were more people out there this year than the last,
Last couple of years,

247
00:28:32,010 --> 00:28:34,730
and I think the weather had a lot to do with it. And then a couple shots from the big parade. Corey.

248
00:28:39,530 --> 00:28:39,530
and tracy did an awesome job organizing. It was so great to see all the board members out
There.

249
00:28:44,410 --> 00:28:44,410
we miss connie, of course, but she was enjoying herself in germany.

250
00:28:48,530 --> 00:28:52,450
matthew, I think he was conducting. I'm not quite sure. That was the award for the. Oh, I wasn't sure.

251
00:28:55,970 --> 00:28:55,970
it was a baton club or class, a group. And they were so excited because they didn't
Believe they won first place.

252
00:29:02,610 --> 00:29:06,570
they said, okay, they said they've only one third place before,
Last year. And that was I did that too. So we were like,
Oh, we didn't know they were fantastic.

253
00:29:10,690 --> 00:29:10,690
I know you're a jack of all trades, so I thought maybe you were teaching some new. Oh,
That was the best, sir. That was me giving first place to the talent.

254
00:29:17,130 --> 00:29:20,850
oh, that one. And that was good. Giving noah his for the walking one. Yeah. I'm glad we got that shot. He couldn't have been more excited.

255
00:29:23,650 --> 00:29:25,710
and he was super excited. He worked really hard. Yeah. And even though you didn't get a hug bomb and he loves you just as much as he loves
Me.

256
00:29:30,310 --> 00:29:30,310
he's always coming by on first fridays. And that picture down on the left,
That was right as the band was turning the corner.

257
00:29:36,310 --> 00:29:36,310
corey had me work in the cars, so I couldn't exactly get the shot of mancini,
But he was excited to be in the convertible.

258
00:29:42,670 --> 00:29:42,670
but right as the band turned the corner. Someone got that shot there and then I had to
Give a plug for my daughter,

259
00:29:48,430 --> 00:29:51,790
who helped with the banner at the end, and she couldn't have been more excited. I think she wants to get into event planning with corey soon and help with the next year's
One.

260
00:29:56,990 --> 00:29:56,990
so awesome weekend. And there's my little guy again with the thumbs up saying we're going
To be just fine.

261
00:30:02,470 --> 00:30:02,470
so, questions? Comments? All right. Thanks. Okay.

262
00:30:06,710 --> 00:30:06,710
great report john, thank you. With that we'll move on to item 3.b the monthly budget
Report.

263
00:30:13,230 --> 00:30:13,230
I believe you're also doing that as well because matthew is,
I mean, yeah.

264
00:30:17,350 --> 00:30:20,670
matt's not here, that's all. And I really apologize in advance to kim. I'll do my best to go through just a few highlights.

265
00:30:24,220 --> 00:30:24,220
so per state law, we always have a budget update.

266
00:30:29,820 --> 00:30:29,820
but as we're kind of in between cfos we just want to make sure that's posted.

267
00:30:34,020 --> 00:30:34,020
so the public the, our bargaining groups and everybody can see the status update.

268
00:30:40,060 --> 00:30:43,340
I'm just going to give a couple quick highlights. And let's see here. So quick summary of where we are.

269
00:30:49,380 --> 00:30:49,380
it's and what it means moving forward. So the main story that I think you'll get from this
Is that the budget,

270
00:30:55,780 --> 00:30:55,780
the tough decisions around the budget that we've made over the past year are really
Beginning to pay off.

271
00:31:02,180 --> 00:31:02,180
and I know it's painful and I know that we've had some struggles around this.

272
00:31:08,060 --> 00:31:08,060
but there is going to be a payoff. And, and so what we've already seen is steady month by
Month improvements in our financial picture.

273
00:31:17,900 --> 00:31:17,900
and thanks to the cuts, of course, the state support and delaying some spending.

274
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:23,000
we're seeing the fruits of of that labor. Key point number one is progress,
But we're not out of the woods yet.

275
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:29,920
our current projected end fund balance is at $5.6 million,
Or 4.3% of our total budget.

276
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:36,720
that's an improvement over last month and reflects the positive impact of cost saving
Measures.

277
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:43,320
that said, we're still finishing the year $5.8 million in the red,
So we haven't got out of that full deficit.

278
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:52,720
which means we've lost about half of our end fund balance in one year.

279
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:56,880
so while we've made progress, there's still more work ahead.

280
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:01,520
we've expected to be down about 7.2 million,
But we're now projecting a $5.8 million deficit,

281
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:08,040
which is $1.4 million better than anticipated.

282
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:12,760
we did receive the $350,000 one-time allocation from the state.

283
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:17,480
and as you know, we delayed the $650,000 transfer to the capital fund,
So the rest of the savings came from reducing admin contracts

284
00:32:27,340 --> 00:32:27,340
last summer and tighter control of school and department spending.

285
00:32:32,500 --> 00:32:32,500
and the second key point is that next year is uncertain,
And I just need you to keep that in mind.

286
00:32:37,740 --> 00:32:37,740
we'll start the new school year with a slightly higher end fund balance,
Which helps.

287
00:32:42,260 --> 00:32:42,260
however, we still have several labor contracts,
As I've stated under negotiation, and our long-term budget forecasts currently assume no

288
00:32:49,820 --> 00:32:53,340
salary increases. Once those contracts are set. Oh, by the way, psc, as you know, is already budgeted in because they're still under
Contract.

289
00:32:58,820 --> 00:32:58,820
so really, when I say that it's really the new contracts once those contracts are settled,

290
00:33:04,740 --> 00:33:04,740
the 25-26 budget may change significantly. So it's critical that we continue saving where
We can to stay on track toward rebuilding our end fund

291
00:33:14,340 --> 00:33:14,340
balance to our target of 8% to 10%. I do have a question which you might not know the
Answer to,

292
00:33:20,850 --> 00:33:20,850
I'm just saying it out loud. We didn't transfer that 650 to capital.

293
00:33:24,970 --> 00:33:24,970
that's part of the savings that we have in there. Are we going to make that up or are we
Going to do it, or are we just going to not do it this year, or are we going to double it

294
00:33:31,130 --> 00:33:31,130
next time? I don't know the answer to that. Just something I'm just thinking about in my
Mind.

295
00:33:35,610 --> 00:33:35,610
yeah, that's a really good question. I've been thinking that same thing,
And I didn't ask matt the other day,

296
00:33:40,370 --> 00:33:40,370
and it was on my mind actually, when I was putting this together today. So we'll have to
Kind of get together and see if and when we do that transfer if,

297
00:33:48,090 --> 00:33:50,490
if at all. So I'll definitely get back to you on that. Great question. I don't know if anybody. Derek,
Do you happen to know that answer?

298
00:33:54,610 --> 00:33:57,290
okay. Kim, I don't expect you to have that answer yet. So you're off the hook. Anything else matt? Yeah,
I was just going to ask on the first bullet.

299
00:34:02,850 --> 00:34:02,850
is that the factoring in a $50 student one-time payment is that we're talking about
Implementing a new fee.

300
00:34:12,250 --> 00:34:14,690
no, no, no. So that was a. That's just the money. Yes. So the windfall from the state. And I can't remember exactly what line item that was
In,

301
00:34:19,350 --> 00:34:19,350
but it was kind of remaining monies. And so every single district in the state received.

302
00:34:25,030 --> 00:34:25,030
I just when I saw a payment, I was thinking general fund,
The payments that were asking families,

303
00:34:30,430 --> 00:34:30,430
so. Yeah, no. Just one clarification. One-time payment from olympia to.

304
00:34:35,150 --> 00:34:35,150
I just know that several districts that were struggling more than we were started
Implementing newer fees for students and families.

305
00:34:42,190 --> 00:34:45,510
and it, you know, created an equity issue where some students couldn't. So I just wanted to clarify, it is not, that this is revenue from the state.

306
00:34:48,910 --> 00:34:48,910
right. And I will say, matt, to your point, there have been some conversations around that
Here in camas,

307
00:34:53,830 --> 00:34:53,830
not nothing concrete, but there has been some conversations around where could where could
Parents potentially pick up a little bit of that.

308
00:35:01,550 --> 00:35:01,550
and we want to try to avoid that. I mean, we were looking at those inflation costs and
Rents and mortgages,

309
00:35:06,150 --> 00:35:06,150
so we'd rather not go that route. But it's not necessarily off the table.

310
00:35:10,750 --> 00:35:10,750
right. Okay. Thank you. Anything else? Okay. I think that's probably good.

311
00:35:18,090 --> 00:35:20,850
yeah, I think that's good for now. Tracy. Thanks. All right. Thank you.

312
00:35:32,010 --> 00:35:32,010
okay. So holding on till next school year, then.

313
00:35:40,530 --> 00:35:40,530
okay. I love that she had an answer. We won't hold you to it,
But that's good.

314
00:35:47,010 --> 00:35:50,130
okay. That's good to know. Thank you. Thanks,
Kim. Thank you. And thank you, john, for that. If there's no other questions on the budget
Report I will just ask to make sure you guys all saw the items added to the consent

315
00:35:59,170 --> 00:35:59,170
agenda. Okay. Next, we'll move on to item 4.a,
Which is public comments.

316
00:36:05,450 --> 00:36:05,450
we did not receive anyone sign up for public comment tonight,
So we have no oral public comment.

317
00:36:09,690 --> 00:36:09,690
but we did receive one written public comment,
Which is in board docs that you guys have all seen,

318
00:36:14,610 --> 00:36:14,610
so just wanted to make mention of that. With that,
We'll move on to item 5, the consent agenda.

319
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:23,200
have you guys all had a chance to look at the consent agenda? And if so,
I will take a motion on the consent agenda.

320
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:30,400
I'll make a motion to approve the consent agenda as presented with the human resources
Addendum.

321
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,960
thank you corey. I'll second. Thank you bamini. Do we have any discussion? All in favor? Aye.

322
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:42,840
any opposed? All right. That passes. Thank you.

323
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:47,160
next, we'll move on to item 6.a policies for first reading.

324
00:36:59,040 --> 00:36:59,040
I don't know if you guys want to go through these one at a time. Do you want to just.

325
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,160
can we list them on just so people can see what they are,
That we're. I mean, up on the up on the screen just because we have the policies in front of us.

326
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:13,200
so the first one is 4220.

327
00:37:28,460 --> 00:37:28,460
I was fine with that one. I didn't have any questions on it. I didn't have any questions.
I just wanted to make sure everyone knew we weren't putting policies up for first meeting.

328
00:37:35,540 --> 00:37:35,540
yeah, yeah. Wonders how many there are. Okay,
So gail will get that up in a second.

329
00:37:39,980 --> 00:37:39,980
oh, there it is. Okay. Our next is 4311 safe school safety and security service program.

330
00:37:50,180 --> 00:37:53,180
I don't know if anyone had any comments or questions on that. And again, just a reminder. These are all first readings,
So they'll be coming back to the board later on for second reading.

331
00:38:04,180 --> 00:38:06,300
yeah I didn't, I mean, I didn't have anything. I didn't have any questions. I think it might be good to note that these were all,
You know,

332
00:38:10,940 --> 00:38:10,940
reviewed by staff and recommendations. You know,
Probably the important thing is the classification.

333
00:38:16,730 --> 00:38:20,490
and some of them are we really have to implement their essential. Others or recommendations and so on. But okay,
They're all available for everyone to read.

334
00:38:25,890 --> 00:38:29,650
okay. The next one is 5161 civility in the workplace,
Which is new. And of course, the link to the policy and legal news was in there also that we were able
To review with that one.

335
00:38:39,690 --> 00:38:39,690
okay. 5254 staff expressions was also a new policy.

336
00:38:48,810 --> 00:38:48,810
and again, the policy and legal news was linked in there for that. One 5310 compensation
Also was in there.

337
00:39:01,210 --> 00:39:01,210
and then we have a couple essential ones, 6220 bid or request for proposal requirements,
6702 wellness and 6801 capital assets,

338
00:39:11,210 --> 00:39:11,210
theft sensitive assets. Any comments on any of those?

339
00:39:18,550 --> 00:39:18,550
okay. So with that if there's no other discussion,
I will take a motion on approving those policies for

340
00:39:28,510 --> 00:39:28,510
first reading. I move to approve the submitted policies for first reading.

341
00:39:32,790 --> 00:39:35,990
thank you. Matthew. I'll second. Thank you bamini. Any other discussion on those? All in favor? Aye.

342
00:39:39,670 --> 00:39:39,670
any opposed? All right. Thank you. And we'll have those back to us for second reading
Soon.

343
00:39:46,390 --> 00:39:46,390
okay. Next, we do have some policies that are up for first second reading and adoption
Today.

344
00:39:52,110 --> 00:39:52,110
and because I believe these are essential before the beginning of the school year is why
We're doing these specific two policies all in one tonight.

345
00:39:59,990 --> 00:39:59,990
so and those are 3246 restraint, isolation and other use of reasonable force and 6600
Transportation.

346
00:40:12,490 --> 00:40:12,490
did you guys see the changes to those and have any questions on those? I just wanted to
Just highlight again,

347
00:40:17,530 --> 00:40:17,530
because doing first, second reading and adoption in one meeting is kind of,
Is not our protocol usually,

348
00:40:24,330 --> 00:40:28,050
but these are in order to keep us compliant with updated law. Okay. The first one is law. The second was our discussion on.

349
00:40:32,370 --> 00:40:32,370
oh yes, in transportation. Yeah. Values. Yeah,
The second one, transportation was just changed the distance from which you ride the bus.

350
00:40:43,730 --> 00:40:46,850
and yes, usually we have a work, since we don't have a workshop in july. It kind of puts us behind a little bit on some of these that we needed. So that is the
Reason for doing this all in one,

351
00:40:52,370 --> 00:40:52,370
all at once tonight. So. So if there's no discussion on any of them and if you're good
With

352
00:41:02,610 --> 00:41:02,610
all of them. So, maybe the one on just a discussion on transportation.

353
00:41:06,930 --> 00:41:06,930
yep. So when we had seen this before in the spring,
We had changed it to the one mile from 0.7.

354
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:17,320
and we're talking about in this recommendation to change it back. Is that correct, or we're keeping it 1? It was originally for over 13 years.

355
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:24,440
we've always had it at one mile radius, but the state only pays us for 0.7.

356
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:31,520
so at the last time we reviewed this, just a few short months ago,
Your decision was to line up with the law and what we were paid for.

357
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:41,000
but then when we pushed that back to transportation,
They asked us to please reconsider because there are so many families that will be

358
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:48,840
affected, so they're trying to get it done. Back to the one mile so that they can get that
In place and get all the routing set up for the new year.

359
00:41:58,760 --> 00:41:58,760
so I appreciate that they paid such close attention to it and the impact that it would
Have.

360
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:03,040
yeah. Okay. And that's why we do. We read them two times,
Yeah.

361
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:08,400
all right. Do you want to do these one at a time,
Or do you want to do a.

362
00:42:15,860 --> 00:42:19,500
okay. Sorry, we can do them together. I'll make a motion to approve. Policies 3246 and 6600 for first second reading and adoption.

363
00:42:25,740 --> 00:42:29,100
thank you corey. Do you have a second? I second. Thank you matthew. Any other discussion on those two?

364
00:42:32,420 --> 00:42:32,420
all those in favor? Aye. Any opposed? All right.

365
00:42:36,500 --> 00:42:36,500
thank you for getting those two through so we can get those before the school year starts,
So.

366
00:42:42,740 --> 00:42:42,740
okay. With that, we're going to move on to item 8.a.

367
00:42:50,500 --> 00:42:50,500
is on here. Which is a skybridge middle school asphalt pavement repairs.

368
00:42:56,820 --> 00:42:56,820
we know we need a lot of pavement repairs around,
And it looks like we're doing some at skybridge. I don't know if you saw the map in there,

369
00:43:01,500 --> 00:43:03,540
but I'm sure they will be excited to do that. So, I'm just looking for a motion on that. Well,
I would just I appreciate that we're taking care of this because I know

370
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:13,480
that it's a I know that it's a problem. But I also appreciate the attention to our
Financial constraints and doing what is necessary,

371
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,938
so. Specially at the entrance of the school areas. Yeah, it's hairy at times getting out of there,
I always worry about an accident.

372
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:28,880
just somebody slides on the gravel, so. And to be clear,
This is going to be done now so that it's ready for school to start.

373
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:35,280
correct, right. Yeah, okay. Great. Yeah, randy and sherman and the team have worked hard
To try to find a contractor who could find a gap in their schedule to get this done.

374
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:48,880
it's that urgent. And the price point was really,
Really, really good for us. So, we're taking it out of the liquid portion of capital funds,
So it won't affect the general budget.

375
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:53,640
okay. I'll make a motion to approve the contract with aa asphalt llc for pavement repairs
At skyridge middle school for a total of

376
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:01,600
$72,397.65, including sales tax. Thank you, corey.

377
00:44:09,550 --> 00:44:09,550
do I have a second? I'll second. Thank you. Is there any other discussion on that one?

378
00:44:14,310 --> 00:44:18,110
all those in favor? Aye. Any opposed? All right. That passes unanimously. We'll move on to item 8.b.

379
00:44:21,590 --> 00:44:21,590
this one is a change order to mackay sposito for the work they're doing for us on the
Covered tennis courts at camas high school.

380
00:44:34,990 --> 00:44:34,990
I know this has been kind of a, the tennis court has been something that's come up in
Meetings recently,

381
00:44:41,430 --> 00:44:41,430
a couple of public comments and stuff, maybe a little bit more information just on the
Record about why this change order is needed.

382
00:44:49,470 --> 00:44:49,470
sure, randy, can you speak to that?

383
00:44:59,470 --> 00:44:59,470
know I read in it also. I think part of it was because there mackay sposito's bid didn't
Include there was more opposition to what we were doing than what they had

384
00:45:09,450 --> 00:45:09,450
anticipated. So they spent more time responding to public comments.

385
00:45:13,570 --> 00:45:13,570
and to me, it seems like a, I don't want to say a normal thing,
But there's only so much that they put in their bid to do.

386
00:45:20,490 --> 00:45:20,490
and so when they get more, that's what they're asking for.

387
00:45:30,210 --> 00:45:30,210
permits, and it was fought. So it took more time,
Just like tracy was saying, to get it completed.

388
00:45:38,690 --> 00:45:38,690
excellent, I think. So I think they're just asking for 12,000 more dollars from what we
Had

389
00:45:48,130 --> 00:45:48,130
originally allotted for that and I don't, I'm not anticipating any appeals.

390
00:45:54,490 --> 00:45:57,250
I think the timeline has already passed for that. Correct. Randy. So we should be out of the woods,
At least for the conditional use permit.

391
00:46:02,170 --> 00:46:02,170
I'm not saying that we won't face other opposition down the road as we get closer.

392
00:46:06,720 --> 00:46:06,720
but these were not costs that were associated with construction.

393
00:46:11,240 --> 00:46:11,240
it was all really financial, legal. Those kind of things in time.

394
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:24,160
so I wasn't sure if you were asking for something outside of that,
So. That's great. Yeah. And it's in the, it's in the document to on board docs for,
For people to see so they can I just want to I just want to see why.

395
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:30,920
I just wanted to make sure we see why that that's happening. So it is it's for some some
Additional time they had to put in responding to some formal requests for

396
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:39,760
reconsideration. And some public comment stuff that we had them work on,
So I

397
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:49,640
would make them. Are you looking for a motion? Okay. I move to approve change order #1
From mackay spocito totaling $12,000 for the camas high school covered tennis facility

398
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:00,880
project. Thank you, corey. Do I have a second? Second. Thank you, matthew. Any other discussion on that?

399
00:47:05,140 --> 00:47:08,620
all those in favor? Aye. Any opposed? All right. That passes unanimously also. Next we move on to item 8.c,
Which is utah youth village/alpine academy agreement.

400
00:47:18,220 --> 00:47:18,220
and we're looking to place a student there in the 25-26 school year.

401
00:47:28,780 --> 00:47:28,780
and I'll take a motion on that. If anyone is ready to do so.

402
00:47:33,820 --> 00:47:37,500
okay, sorry. I move to approve an agreement with alpine academy. Just so one student during the 25-26 school year,
For a total cost not to exceed $200,500.

thank you, bamini. Do I have a second? Second. Thank you, matthew. Any other discussion? All those in favor?

404
00:47:53,060 --> 00:47:53,060
aye. Any opposed? Okay. That also passes. Next,
We're moving on to item 8.d, which is meridell achievement center agreement.

405
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:02,120
we're also looking to place a student there in the 25-26 school year as well.

406
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:10,480
I move to approve the, meridell? Meridell. The font is too small.

407
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:17,280
achievement center agreement to serve one student during the 2025-2026 school year,
At a cost not to exceed $265,200.

408
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,600
thank you, matthew. Do I have a second? Second. Thank you, bamini. Any more discussion on that?

409
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:33,440
all those in favor? Aye. Any opposed? Okay. That also passes unanimously.

410
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:38,400
and the last one we have for tonight is item 8.e,
Which is an agreement with pacific office automation for our copier lease renewal.

411
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:48,080
we always end on equipment. I know the last time we had more educators here in the new
Copiers were up.

412
00:48:53,720 --> 00:48:56,600
they were very excited about how fast they were. I remember, I do remember that. Or the cram a lot compactor,
That was a fun one, too.

413
00:49:01,710 --> 00:49:01,710
so I assume these are good. These are good printers.

414
00:49:06,150 --> 00:49:06,150
they're going to like them. Yeah. Okay. And these are for three schools it says.

415
00:49:12,350 --> 00:49:16,270
oh, for camas, hayes and skyridge. Oh, and helen. Yeah, so. Six machines. I'll move to approve six new leases with pacific office

416
00:49:25,710 --> 00:49:25,710
automation for $740 per month for 60 months each.

417
00:49:29,830 --> 00:49:29,830
total over five years will be $44,400. Not including sales tax income from the general
Fund.

418
00:49:35,990 --> 00:49:38,110
thank you, corey, do I have a second? Second? Thank you, matthew. Any other discussion? All those in favor?

aye. Any opposed? All right. We have some new copy machines.

420
00:49:48,070 --> 00:49:50,910

Personnel.

thank you. Thank.
