1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:09,879
call if you need to services
and then I'll be back later. I just

2
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:21,760
looked at this before and you come back
with a proposal. Don't you come back

3
00:00:19,439 --> 00:00:25,160
with Yeah, I I will bring it back and
then you will

4
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:41,440
I'd like to make a motion that we will
approve the propos request for proposal

5
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:47,760
for school services. I'll second it. All
those in favor.

6
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:52,000
I motion carries.
action item 6E consideration action

7
00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:57,520
regarding approval to submit a request
for qualifications

8
00:00:54,160 --> 00:01:02,960
for engineering services. So when we got
our funds and we knew we had

9
00:00:59,199 --> 00:01:06,720
construction on the horizon, we did our
engineering and we're allowed to use

10
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:12,640
them for five years and it's been five
years. So uh we do still need to have

11
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:17,439
some engineering for this next phase on
the trace building right now. And so we

12
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:22,479
just want to make sure that we we do in
our we can use them for the next five

13
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:27,200
years whatever we need. So um it's not
that we're trying to spend money with

14
00:01:24,159 --> 00:01:30,439
them. It's just gives us the ability to
get three.

15
00:01:37,759 --> 00:01:45,520
Do you have a particular engineer or
this is open for any

16
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:51,360
or any engineer? What the requests for
qualifications are is you have to send

17
00:01:47,119 --> 00:01:56,560
it out to license five and then they if
they can choose not to submit there or

18
00:01:53,759 --> 00:02:00,719
they can put it in um we've used paper
bucket in the past. We've used Excel has

19
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:05,439
been our engineer for all of our new
buildings. Um ideally we'd be able to

20
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,920
keep them because they have all of our
history and they know what all our

21
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:12,480
problems are.
Right now we're working on the we're

22
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:16,959
trying to get the school facility board
to help us with the auditorium in the

23
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:22,239
gym HBAC. Well, Excel's already done the
analysis on Excel would be able to help

24
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:26,239
us design the plan get there. They use
all kinds of

25
00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:32,720
like they use mechanical electrical
engineers from St. George. I mean it's

26
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:38,040
not just them. So,
but we just want to get through the

27
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,040
process.

28
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:48,879
I'll make a motion to approve the
request for qualification for Indian

29
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:56,239
services.
Motion made second. All those in favor?

30
00:02:53,440 --> 00:03:01,920
I motion carries. Can I say is is there
someone on this?

31
00:02:58,239 --> 00:03:05,080
Oh, could you mute your phone, please?
Thank you.

32
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:14,239
Just say whoever's online, please.
Whoever's online, please mute your

33
00:03:12,239 --> 00:03:19,680
phone. I just texted her. Who do you
know who

34
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:24,440
Natalie said she will take a call, but
she's

35
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,440
mother.

36
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:35,120
All right. Action item 6F consideration
action regarding approval for the 2526

37
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:40,560
coverage acceptance form for alliance
workers compensation. We just want you

38
00:03:37,519 --> 00:03:44,640
to prove it. Alliance is just like the
trust. They just do all the workman's

39
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:47,799
comp for school districts for Arizona.
And so

40
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:55,920
right I'll make a motion to approve the
2526 coverage acceptance form for lines

41
00:03:53,280 --> 00:04:03,040
coverage compensation. I'll second it.
Motion's been made second. Those in

42
00:03:57,439 --> 00:04:07,040
favor? I I motion carries.
6G consideration action regarding

43
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:12,159
approval of addendums and summer work
agreements. So we have we just this is

44
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:17,280
our annual. These are the people that
are working this summer. Uh we have that

45
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:22,960
little mini grant that was $30,000 that
is paying for some uh intervention

46
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:27,120
services for high school. So Vicky and
Barl are doing those. Uh title one is

47
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:32,400
doing the
Junior High summer school. Uh we the

48
00:04:29,919 --> 00:04:37,360
district is cover are covering the ESS
extends for you. It's mandated

49
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:43,520
cottonwood cottonwood summer school and
then we're doing Cottonwood ESY and then

50
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:49,520
Cottonwood preschool as well. But then
we have a set of teachers that are

51
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:57,520
coming in to do curriculum work for our
high school and the CSI mini grant and

52
00:04:53,759 --> 00:05:02,160
the CSI will be covered. Um we want
Daisy Mills Daisy Mills is moving from

53
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:07,600
Cottonwood to LCAP for this next year
and we want her to come in and start so

54
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:13,520
we're in a school improvement because of
graduation rate and we want her to come

55
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:18,560
in and all of our students eighth grade
up to 11th grade. See, you know, start

56
00:05:17,039 --> 00:05:23,840
kind of like a risk assessment. Which
one has a risk for adults? Which one has

57
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:27,600
risk for academics and and start kind of
creating an intervention plan from a

58
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:31,840
social emotional perspective? Try to
start making connections with those

59
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:36,320
students and and creating that sense of
somebody's watching, somebody's care,

60
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:44,080
somebody. Do you lose them in 11th
grade? We do a lot again

61
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:49,520
like if they what it's easy to graduate
and so we will lose students. So high

62
00:05:47,199 --> 00:05:54,560
school. So tell us the criteria with the
state do you is it counted as a not

63
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:59,919
graduate if they go to another school?
No. If it's we are we show they went to

64
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:03,120
another school is not true. If we but
the the state used to we used to be able

65
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:07,199
to just do it based on what the parent
says. The state won't let us do a W1,

66
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:11,120
which is a transfer to another school,
unless that school has requested their

67
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:15,600
records. And so, we've really been
working on our registars to get that

68
00:06:13,039 --> 00:06:18,720
record that you can't have the parents
sign the records request. You have to

69
00:06:17,039 --> 00:06:22,319
have that school send it to you, meaning
they showed up on their doors. Um, I

70
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:27,360
think the state's just worried that the
districts are fraudulent reporting and

71
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:34,560
accelerating their graduation rates. But
we get we get um if you do an actual

72
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:38,000
dropout code, if you do W4, which means
they've been gone for 10 days and you

73
00:06:35,919 --> 00:06:42,560
don't know where they are, we if they
get a GED, it's a dropout. So that's one

74
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,360
of the things I've been trying to work
with our front desks is that if you

75
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:49,600
don't know where they are and you have
to keep calm until you find out. Um we

76
00:06:47,919 --> 00:06:53,919
just had a student that got that code
and I just Robin, you've got to go find

77
00:06:51,759 --> 00:06:59,199
out what they're doing. And so she just
got the parent to email her and emailed

78
00:06:56,639 --> 00:07:04,000
try home school. Do it. Put it in.
Change it. Don't let it go against the

79
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:08,400
graduation rate. So, we do have a lot of
kids that just stop school before

80
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:11,880
graduation.
And it's sad.

81
00:07:13,039 --> 00:07:18,400
I'm just going to go work.
No, you don't. You will regret it.

82
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:22,520
You'll never regret a high school
diploma, but you will always regret.

83
00:07:23,039 --> 00:07:30,240
So,
but If it's an accounting thing, I want

84
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:33,919
the accounting fixed
even prior years. And the problem is

85
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:38,319
once you close out a year, it's a big
hassle to go fix it. But if if they

86
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:42,319
stopped coming in freshman year, joined
Water Canyon in their senior year, we've

87
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:46,160
got to go back and fix those freshman
year. And and so we've got to know and

88
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:50,599
we've got to do the work. And that's a
lot of work that we need to do.

89
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:58,720
All right. I'll make a motion to approve
the addendum of summer work agreements.

90
00:07:56,639 --> 00:08:04,160
Second motion. Second. All those in
favor? I

91
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:07,919
motion carries.
68 consideration action regarding

92
00:08:06,479 --> 00:08:11,560
approval of new employees and
contracting personnel.

93
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:20,960
I had a question about this one. We
haven't had very good luck with a male

94
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:25,440
basketball coach for the girls and I
would not approve another one if it were

95
00:08:22,639 --> 00:08:28,560
you. So, I'm just just letting you know
that I don't know who I don't even know

96
00:08:27,199 --> 00:08:35,200
this person. So, it's not like I'm
saying person know who he is. He's my

97
00:08:31,919 --> 00:08:39,039
son and we
don't have anything against your son and

98
00:08:36,719 --> 00:08:45,519
Bruce's on the team.
So, I and so he wants an assistant coach

99
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:50,720
and I said it would give him give a male
coach, we will find we will get female

100
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:56,880
assistant. So there is a female presence
there. Um but we have not I mean look at

101
00:08:55,440 --> 00:09:02,920
who's trying to coach football and I
think that's ridiculous but we got to

102
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,920
find people to help us.

103
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:10,560
We should look at recruiting females
then go to

104
00:09:08,140 --> 00:09:14,800
[Laughter]
be silly.

105
00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:20,640
Okay.
I we have had we have had Jayla what I

106
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:24,480
want is our female athletes to come back
and coach for us. That's what tell we've

107
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:30,640
given you a gift and you have a
responsibility to come back and coach.

108
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:38,320
Um he's gotten his fingerprint parents
card and we are um he is trying to

109
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:44,399
recruit. Um I assume our other winning
scenarios had their fingerprints card

110
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:49,760
too. They did. Um he's actually trying
to I'm trying to get him to recruit my

111
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:54,480
daughter Debbie who played for us as his
assistant. Um he wants me who used to

112
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:57,360
work for us who already has a credit
card in his card to do it but she

113
00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:03,519
wouldn't be able to do it through the
season. Um but and I I don't want to

114
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:08,160
advocate for him. I just Mr. Campbell,
you advocate because tell us how you

115
00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:13,600
feel about your sports about Williams
specifically or just your coaches. What

116
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:18,640
what have you gone through to try to get
um

117
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:26,000
yeah, we've we've looked
well everywhere I was aware of. We've

118
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:31,120
we've put the flyers out and um
asked for applications. We've posted it,

119
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:38,640
advertised it, and we haven't gotten
any. We had one possibility.

120
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:42,560
uh he applied for the teachers job and
uh he was willing to coach football, but

121
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:49,920
he didn't have any
certifications to be a teacher at all.

122
00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:56,160
He was everything was uh well he he was
this close. He was like 4 in away from a

123
00:10:52,880 --> 00:11:01,920
Olympic 4T away from an Olympic
um making it into Olympics Olympics uh

124
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:07,920
Olympic team
track and field. Anyway, no, not SH. It

125
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:12,240
was discus. Discus. Discus.
Yeah. But that that's the big problem is

126
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:16,399
if they don't work for us, it's just
really hard. He he's even advertised to

127
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:21,760
hurricane put up things hoping somebody
that just has a wall of the game will

128
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:27,040
come. Um,
but we just haven't. Well, I I don't

129
00:11:25,519 --> 00:11:31,200
think it's fair to put every man in the
same basket. Yeah, that's what we said a

130
00:11:29,279 --> 00:11:35,040
couple of times. Actually, I do think
that uh is the job of the athletic

131
00:11:33,519 --> 00:11:40,079
director and our principal to make sure
that they're following up

132
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:43,920
even having interviews throughout the
school year

133
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:47,839
to make sure that none of this stuff is
happening.

134
00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:53,279
And other than that, I don't know what
else you can do. Well, I we for

135
00:11:50,959 --> 00:11:56,880
basketball, I think we have time. I
mean, it's not till November, right,

136
00:11:55,760 --> 00:12:01,279
that they start practicing. Well,
they're they're trying to get in some

137
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:09,160
open gym time this summer and they
really working on their top.

138
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:09,160
We've got to rebuild that.

139
00:12:09,839 --> 00:12:17,839
But I like what Carol's saying that you
can have William Simpson and then get a

140
00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:23,920
female potion with him and that's the
stipulation. Yeah, he's he's he's going

141
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:29,360
to be good at strategy and and but he's
he's he's he's about to have a baby and

142
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:36,240
or he'd have his wife help me and she's
like

143
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:42,079
so um but anyway, it's he originally
told us no several times, but really we

144
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:45,680
really been working on to try to get
some help because short of that she

145
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:48,880
wants to join free, you know, just
because

146
00:12:47,279 --> 00:12:52,959
we just had such a hard time with that
team this year and but I think if we

147
00:12:51,519 --> 00:12:57,839
could get working with them with some of
them we could have our own team I'm so

148
00:12:55,360 --> 00:13:05,680
much proud of going out
instead of but I really appreciate

149
00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:09,680
softball they really brought some good
players and some good energy and some

150
00:13:07,279 --> 00:13:14,000
good coaches that's one thing we asked
is does Fredonia have any more good

151
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:17,760
coaches should we join for girls
basketball it's kind of hard to give up

152
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:23,519
basketball
that's ours basketball

153
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:27,839
school and just don't want to go out
there and say he's not a basketball

154
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:31,200
school anymore to do business. No, I
agree with that and I'm not you.

155
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:34,959
Obviously, I'm not against basketball,
but I've been on trips and I've been

156
00:13:33,279 --> 00:13:38,320
there in the stands and I watched some
things. I even took pictures and sent

157
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:43,600
them to you one time and I just think
it's a bad idea to have male coach

158
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:47,680
traveling with the girls team.
Well, and that's one of the things we

159
00:13:45,279 --> 00:13:54,560
talked about always make sure female is
with them. Now, we haven't required that

160
00:13:50,639 --> 00:14:00,639
like, you know, like to a a local camp,
you know, but we've got a lot of girls

161
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:04,560
and they're pretty about that. Um, and
I've, you know, I've talked pretty

162
00:14:02,560 --> 00:14:09,519
straight with Ruth about, you know, was
there any misbehaving to my mom? No. You

163
00:14:07,199 --> 00:14:14,880
know, and she she would tell me she felt
like not with Lee, but with our prior

164
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:20,839
coach, it was not here. The focus was
not here.

165
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,839
those kind of things. So,

166
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:28,560
but Daisy's been willing to help with
girls basketball as well. And Becky

167
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:34,480
Woods that said she would help. So, we
have a couple of good females that would

168
00:14:32,399 --> 00:14:37,519
participate and help if he can't find
somebody else. These guys would

169
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:41,680
absolutely come help practice sessions
and things like that. And they would be

170
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:46,160
willing to travel for anything more
because she's she's full. But this

171
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:50,959
weather has been really amazing.
She did a great job integrating with the

172
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:55,199
three. I don't know. I don't know if
Becky will asked one of them to be the

173
00:14:53,199 --> 00:15:00,000
assistant coach. So, it's not a someone
who's just been in the program. Yeah. I

174
00:14:58,399 --> 00:15:03,120
haven't they both I know Becky
absolutely confirmed that. In fact, she

175
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:07,519
was willing to drive the girls to become
the she's like, you tell me what I'm

176
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:11,839
interested. She I love these girls. I
want to help them. And I think being an

177
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:16,720
assistant coach is a great idea. We will
absolutely have a female assistant coach

178
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:21,440
on the girls basketball team. Well, we
had an assistant coach one time. We we

179
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:24,959
did that, but the assistant coach was
young enough still to high school that

180
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:28,959
there was still a power difference. I
understand that. Yes. And so that's we

181
00:15:27,199 --> 00:15:34,440
have to have somebody who has not got
that power difference. I agree with

182
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,440
that.

183
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:41,199
All right. I'll make a motion to approve
the new employees and contract

184
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:46,720
personnel.
I'll second it. Motion's been made and

185
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:52,560
seconded. All those in favor? I I motion
carries. Consideration action regarding

186
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:58,000
approval the 26 proposed comprehensive
school improvement grant. So this this

187
00:15:55,360 --> 00:16:02,880
is I just this is a the the new grant
for the 2026 year. Um I actually have a

188
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:06,079
form but I have Marian sign so that I
could approve it but George I'm going to

189
00:16:04,399 --> 00:16:09,519
get it to you. If you approve this I'm
going to get it. But basically we just

190
00:16:07,839 --> 00:16:15,279
took this grant and divided into three
spots. We want a portion of it to be PLC

191
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:18,639
coaching for the administrators, the the
principles because we just did a full

192
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:25,040
PLC training and now we want to make
sure that they have support implementing

193
00:16:20,959 --> 00:16:29,600
it. And um and then the next is we just
did some additional tutoring and like

194
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:33,519
for this Daisy Mills and for the
teachers that will work with high school

195
00:16:30,959 --> 00:16:37,600
kids getting off track or high risk and
that can go you know that doesn't have

196
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:41,920
to be done in the summer. We we can do
Fridays. It just has to be off contract

197
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:46,399
time. And then the other one is again
for teacher support. If we get a new

198
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:49,920
English teacher, we get um we still have
Sariah building curriculum. She has

199
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:53,839
classes she hasn't taught. And and it
just gives some additional funds for

200
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:58,480
teachers to come to someone
next year. So

201
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:01,199
and if we do change around budget
categories, we're still going to keep

202
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:05,520
them in those same ones, but we might
change the dollars. Where is this grant

203
00:17:03,839 --> 00:17:12,799
from
state? It's a state grant. Yeah, it's

204
00:17:10,079 --> 00:17:17,679
actually federal. No, it's from state.
It's a federal grant.

205
00:17:15,199 --> 00:17:22,480
Funds are coming from federal for school
improvement. It because the requirements

206
00:17:20,079 --> 00:17:27,959
are very um
title one goes right along with title

207
00:17:24,959 --> 00:17:27,959
one.

208
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,280
So,

209
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:40,000
all right. I'll make a motion to approve
the 2016 proposed comprehensive school

210
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:44,799
approved grant. I'll second. Motion to
make second. All those in favor? I

211
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:51,520
motion carries.
Uh 6J, consideration and action

212
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:55,520
regarding family engagement plan.
So this is you know administrators came

213
00:17:54,000 --> 00:18:00,960
together and we looked at everything
that we did and we combined it into a a

214
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:08,000
plan that we could submit with our
grant. um they're getting uh input from

215
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:11,280
parents on it and so what we're going to
do is approve it and then each year just

216
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:16,880
you know come back to it and improve it
and make it a living document. Where are

217
00:18:15,039 --> 00:18:21,120
you talking this time? This is title
one. It's part of our integrative action

218
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:26,080
plan. We just went through title one
monitoring this year and there were a

219
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:32,000
set of action items they required. This
is one that they expect us to have

220
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:35,919
something each year in the EV valuation
of the goals of last year. It seemed

221
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:43,919
like this is some of the stuff that got
dropped was, you know, um flyers to the

222
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:48,320
parents and emails and and integrating
with parents. One of the things that

223
00:18:45,919 --> 00:18:54,240
happened this year that kind of was a
hindrance to us in that is our school

224
00:18:50,799 --> 00:18:59,679
notification system got dropped. They
discontinued it. And so we've been in a

225
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:03,679
very painful process converting over to
a new system. We're going to work on it

226
00:19:01,679 --> 00:19:07,760
this summer trying to get but this other
system parents have to opt in and so if

227
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:12,320
a parent hasn't opted in they don't get
any notifications. So we're really we're

228
00:19:10,559 --> 00:19:16,080
working with our front desk teaching
training and helping them to get those

229
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:23,679
parents on so that we can be more
effective with our communications.

230
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:27,440
But yes, we know we need to improve
or committed

231
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:34,559
and that's been a big question about
influence asking teachers how they

232
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:40,720
well because parents directly affect
your graduation rate 100%. And if you

233
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:46,600
have a encouraging and almost demanding
their kid finishes school much more

234
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,600
likely to go into

235
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:53,760
well to me that's where our counselor
work because she can work with the

236
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:58,880
parents and just kind of she gives
statistics on you know earnings and for

237
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:03,360
graduate school I think that counselor
can do some good work in that area

238
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:08,400
and that's what she is she's not really
a counselor she's a child coordinator

239
00:20:05,039 --> 00:20:12,799
which half of that is apparently so our
two child coordinators are going to be

240
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:16,360
working extensively to improve those
communication channels.

241
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,039
All right.

242
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:30,400
I'll make a motion um to approve the
action

243
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:35,120
regarding the family engagement plan.
I'll second it. All those in favor. How

244
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:39,440
often do you review that? Motion
carries. We This is brand new this year

245
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:44,080
and
or can we review it like quarterly to

246
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:48,720
make sure we're making progress? That's
part of the integrative action plan.

247
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:54,559
It's quarter quarter review. She's told
me I have to put it on my agenda item on

248
00:20:51,919 --> 00:21:00,240
my admin
before we go to the All right. Next 6K

249
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:05,120
consideration action regarding approval
of 25. 26 annual authorizations.

250
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:10,720
So these are the same authorizations
that we do each year. um basically

251
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:13,679
authorizes our revolving fund. Um you
approved mouth America to be switched

252
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:19,919
and we've been working on that this
summer. Um and this motion approves the

253
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:24,880
signers for that. Um our checks require
two signatures so we need to have enough

254
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:31,679
that we can get to and it keeps that
checks and balances. Um Mary can sign uh

255
00:21:28,559 --> 00:21:36,400
vouchers if I'm traveling. Um it allows
us to actually sign warrants without

256
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:39,600
waiting for a board meeting. Um Mary is
the custodian for the make accounts and

257
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:46,559
student activities treasurer. So she's
responsible for all the everything with

258
00:21:42,159 --> 00:21:52,240
cash. Um so if our voucher is overspent
because somebody adds shipping then it

259
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:56,159
allows us to go up to 10%. um out of so
we we've authorized out of state travel

260
00:21:54,000 --> 00:22:00,080
for employees and board members that
actually for anybody traveling to and

261
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:05,440
from because even on our sports team
sometimes get stuck in Gallop, New

262
00:22:01,679 --> 00:22:11,120
Mexico for a border or uh you know
somebody might have to stay in Lachland

263
00:22:07,039 --> 00:22:16,440
for a bullhead uh event. So I would like
to just change that for you know school

264
00:22:16,559 --> 00:22:24,720
students. So any
uh if it's to a student if it's to an

265
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:28,640
Arizona destination then um if we earn
interest on their extracurricular we

266
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:32,799
want to put it into in our tax credits
undesated so the district can use it how

267
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:38,320
they want instead of having to channel
it all for the same portion. But if the

268
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:42,640
person requested okay not for the
interest portion if I donate 200 to

269
00:22:41,039 --> 00:22:46,880
Cottonwood but then Cottonwood gets my
200 but if that earns interest the

270
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:51,200
district gets it. That way we don't have
to split it into thousand categories. We

271
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:55,840
can just put the actual donation in
category and then the interest can just

272
00:22:53,360 --> 00:23:00,559
go into a general fund. It still has to
be used against extracurricular, but we

273
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:04,480
get to decide if it supports or if it
supports the athletic program or if I

274
00:23:02,559 --> 00:23:08,080
stand.
Then the travel reimbursement for

275
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:12,159
contracted employees. This is just so
that when we have a contracted coach, we

276
00:23:10,559 --> 00:23:16,320
can reimburse the travel if they have to
stay out. We can pay meals and things

277
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:22,159
like that. So, it's not such a burden.
And then the we the CTE course fees. So

278
00:23:20,159 --> 00:23:26,640
we charge fees for the course fees and
we ask for you to donate them to their

279
00:23:25,039 --> 00:23:29,520
program so that the students don't have
to pay their course fee and then turn

280
00:23:27,919 --> 00:23:34,159
around and pay their membership into
schools USA

281
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:39,280
and that's worked really well and it's
got us compliant on those programs

282
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:43,919
because it's gotten them active and up
and running and getting us membership

283
00:23:41,120 --> 00:23:46,919
base. So we ask for these annual
authorizations.

284
00:23:47,120 --> 00:23:54,640
All right, I'll make a motion to approve
the 25 annual authorizations.

285
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:59,559
I'll second to make a second. All those
in favor? Motion carries.

286
00:24:01,919 --> 00:24:09,080
Item six, consideration action regarding
approval of the 2526 proposal.

287
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:19,600
Okay. Um, this is
putting on a blindfold and throwing the

288
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:24,080
air because we have no
what this is going to be. So all these

289
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:28,400
next items all go along with this same
budget. So ML

290
00:24:26,799 --> 00:24:32,960
um
uh the state has the the state

291
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:36,720
legislature has not finalized a budget.
They have not approved the budget. So we

292
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:41,120
don't know what funding the districts
are going to get. So the auditor general

293
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:46,400
just gave us forms that has the same
rate as last year. So we budgeted to the

294
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:56,960
same funding mechanism that we had last
year. Um we just used current ADM. Uh we

295
00:24:52,720 --> 00:25:01,200
uh we would like to give we want to
still move people. We don't want to

296
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:06,240
freeze wages. So we're kind of making a
gamble here. Um one of the reasons we

297
00:25:04,159 --> 00:25:11,600
are not getting employees is our wages
are falling. Wages are going up so fast

298
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:18,960
around us.
And so we have four lane a four row

299
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:23,760
placement scale. And then so what we
tried to do with this is we tried to

300
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:27,840
move everybody up the lane up you know
down the next row until they get off

301
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:32,799
that four lane and then we tried to give
them 2%. The state the state has been

302
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:38,880
mandated to give us at least 2%. So
that's kind of what I'm banking on. Um

303
00:25:35,919 --> 00:25:44,559
but in order to make this budget uh
balance with that is and so I did I did

304
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:52,000
a thousand for the teachers and then I
did 2% for the classified and then

305
00:25:49,279 --> 00:25:55,679
and then I uh
in order to make it balance I had to

306
00:25:53,440 --> 00:26:01,200
take money out of capital which I want
to pay back as soon as the real budget

307
00:25:57,679 --> 00:26:05,200
gets and they know they haven't given it
all districts can revise their budget by

308
00:26:03,360 --> 00:26:11,360
September but the problem with this is
this sets our tax rate. It's just this

309
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:15,600
is really big for the state. Um it has
happened before, but this is I think

310
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:20,320
that I mean they they don't know what to
do. We we're getting emails out that

311
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:24,320
they've got a $200 million over
expenditure this year and that they're

312
00:26:22,559 --> 00:26:28,799
going to know that they're going to be
over next year and so they're trying to

313
00:26:26,159 --> 00:26:32,960
figure out where they can cut. Um one of
the things that concerns us on this

314
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:38,240
budget process is that they are
requiring us to all of our cash balances

315
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:41,279
on it and they usually don't do that and
the last time they asked for information

316
00:26:39,919 --> 00:26:46,320
like that they went through all the
districts and pulled all their excess

317
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:50,080
cash which would be devastating to us.
Now it's better this year than it was a

318
00:26:48,559 --> 00:26:54,159
year ago because a year ago we had all
that Esther money waiting. We

319
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:57,919
transferred money so that we could spend
out the Esser and we had it sitting in

320
00:26:55,679 --> 00:27:05,840
capital. We're not in that kind of
position this year. But uh if they pull

321
00:27:01,360 --> 00:27:11,520
my emergency funds, my 500,000 year I
this is it's going to be tight. But my

322
00:27:08,559 --> 00:27:16,559
recommendation is that we approve this
um with the idea that you know if

323
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:21,200
enrollment increases, if um if the
budget comes in higher, you know, like

324
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:27,760
they give us a a percentage uh then we
can refund that uh capital. Um but if it

325
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:34,559
doesn't, then we play this out and we
make our cuts for next year. But we How

326
00:27:30,559 --> 00:27:43,600
much capital did you take? I took a 100.
Um but um I promised from 500 for this

327
00:27:41,679 --> 00:27:47,200
to try to finish that trans building.
And so what we're going to have to do is

328
00:27:45,919 --> 00:27:51,120
we're going to have to finish out the
fiscal year ends June 30th. We're going

329
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:56,080
to have to finish that out, clarify our
expenses, know exactly what our rollover

330
00:27:53,200 --> 00:28:00,480
is. This has a rollover projected. But
once we get all those numbers clarified,

331
00:27:58,559 --> 00:28:06,720
it really takes us until about October
to know what our new budget is just

332
00:28:02,559 --> 00:28:13,039
because we need to moment is um but I
think this I this is a budget we can't

333
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:18,080
execute unless something cash
could you take it out of your emergency

334
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:24,880
fund they might take anyway instead of
it's the same thing but yes if they see

335
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:28,000
that I'm holding 500,000 and I'm not
going to spend it but they'll take it

336
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:33,840
doesn't matter if they take it there if
they take it out of my actual capital

337
00:28:29,679 --> 00:28:38,640
but um yeah I just that e
were just getting too tight and our

338
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:44,320
numbers are fluctuating too too much
that I we just need to be sold. But I

339
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:49,120
thought this is something we can do even
if worst case scenario happens and then

340
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:52,080
and but then if worst case scenario
happens then we will be at the table

341
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:58,960
trying to figure out what we can do to
cut um uh if we have to mid year but if

342
00:28:55,919 --> 00:29:04,799
not for next year we'll have to be
getting more creative and more

343
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,799
innovative in the way that

344
00:29:08,159 --> 00:29:14,720
So, the way to get more money obviously
is more tax dollars. When you say this

345
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:21,679
sets the tax rate, does it set it low?
Well, it's kind of been our goal um is

346
00:29:17,279 --> 00:29:27,279
to keep taxes from going up and and it
when we took over taxes were 11 and a

347
00:29:24,399 --> 00:29:32,159
half, okay? Because the district had set
two tax rate and and we just didn't have

348
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:35,520
enough money to cover the budget. And
that was some errors. Plus, they

349
00:29:33,679 --> 00:29:40,320
overspent their budget. So, they they
had a serious crash crisis and it took

350
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:45,840
us several years at high tax rates to
bring that down. But now that we've been

351
00:29:43,279 --> 00:29:51,919
out of that tax crisis,
then basically um we can set the minimum

352
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:59,679
tax rate that the state requires and it
pretty much and fund our budget. And so,

353
00:29:55,279 --> 00:30:05,760
we we can't um we're under a a high tax
provision where the state won't allow us

354
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:11,120
higher than what we are. So they because
we've been

355
00:30:07,679 --> 00:30:15,120
anyway the funding is working. I Mary
has assured me that our cash is meeting

356
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:21,200
the expenses of his budget. We'll do
another check on that on June 30th. Um

357
00:30:18,399 --> 00:30:25,840
but that is if we end up short cash then
we are going to have to raise taxes to

358
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:31,039
to bring in more cash to make sure we
budget commitments. But I think right

359
00:30:27,679 --> 00:30:36,320
now we're pretty it's pretty set and we
haven't had to raise taxes at all since

360
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:41,200
I so we've been able down 11 and a half
we're putting on this budget 4.09.

361
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:47,919
So and that's what we've done pretty
consistently. Um that's basically what

362
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:51,520
the state expects us to use. Um the
state rates like 3 point something. So

363
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:54,679
we can have a little in the middle but
not much.

364
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:04,799
All right, I'll make a motion to approve
the 2526 proposed expenditure budget.

365
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:09,600
I'll second it. Motion to make second.
All in favor?

366
00:31:07,039 --> 00:31:15,799
Motion carries.
Consideration action regarding direction

367
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:15,799
for the district art program.

368
00:31:15,919 --> 00:31:24,279
Just wonder if Mr. Campbell wants to
take this one.

369
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:24,279
We have two um

370
00:31:24,559 --> 00:31:34,159
two options for
art going forward. As far as an art

371
00:31:30,159 --> 00:31:40,039
teacher is concerned, we interviewed
three or four art teachers. Um

372
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:45,039
actually I think we interviewed a couple
more than that, but with a couple

373
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:50,320
different options. One would be as a
full-time teacher um to replace Miss

374
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:55,279
Cynthia that was here this last year.
Another one would be as a part-time art

375
00:31:53,440 --> 00:32:01,840
teacher and our plan was to have them
teach art for the junior high during

376
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:10,159
sixth period and the high school during
seventh period. um realizing that part

377
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:16,159
of our goal is or part of our our motto
vision is to include arts in our

378
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:21,760
education of our students. We the other
thing we ran into is our um our

379
00:32:19,679 --> 00:32:29,200
attendance of the art classes that we
had this last year were way down. Um,

380
00:32:26,559 --> 00:32:34,080
we had
25 26

381
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:42,000
high school students in three different
classes that took art. Um, we had

382
00:32:39,679 --> 00:32:45,120
well the for the junior high it was
mandatory.

383
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:51,120
We had the seventh and eighth graders
took art and then they had a class where

384
00:32:48,159 --> 00:32:55,440
um there was an elective opportunity at
the junior high level to take art. We

385
00:32:54,080 --> 00:33:01,919
would still keep the elective
opportunity at the high school. We would

386
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:09,360
offer art in a seventh period class. So
sixth period would be if we did the

387
00:33:04,399 --> 00:33:15,919
part-time, sixth period would be um
junior high elective. Seventh period

388
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:22,880
would be a high school elective. We are
still including uh drama

389
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:29,679
and um Spanish. I don't know if Spanish
would be considered art, but we have um

390
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:35,760
music options. We put those in. We also
put art in. I did a

391
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:41,120
kind of a survey with our students to
see what electives they'd be interested

392
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:49,760
in and art was one of the options. I
think we had well below the um I would

393
00:33:45,679 --> 00:33:55,679
say was like 10 or less students who
were interested in taking art as an

394
00:33:52,640 --> 00:34:00,960
elective at the high school level. We do
have a um a schedule where we have a

395
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:09,040
teacher that's planning on teaching fine
arts to our eighth graders. Um and that

396
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:14,159
would we were doing this in cycles. I
believe they had six cycles set up where

397
00:34:11,359 --> 00:34:21,839
they would they included music. They did
have a cycle of art. They had um

398
00:34:17,119 --> 00:34:25,520
computer graphics involved in that. Um
there was something with instruments. I

399
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:30,800
apologize. I don't remember all of them.
Anyway, um those are our two options, a

400
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:36,000
full-time art teacher, part-time art
teacher. Um, my preference currently

401
00:34:34,159 --> 00:34:41,119
would be to go with a part-time art
teacher and see if we could build that

402
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:45,919
program back and get the interest back
to where we could get um employ a

403
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:51,119
full-time art teacher
um with with good numbers. Um,

404
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:56,079
anyway, that's that's kind of where
we're at.

405
00:34:54,079 --> 00:34:59,760
I like that, too. The the problem I have
I see with that is the if you have a

406
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:02,800
part-time teacher, it's no different
than having like a part-time senior.

407
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:05,920
They're not really engaged in the
student the same way. And to build a

408
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:10,640
program, you have to have someone who's
really interested and and energetic and

409
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:13,440
and loves the program to get even kids
to convene. If you have someone that

410
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:17,119
just comes in for sixth and seventh
period, they don't see them or connect

411
00:35:15,119 --> 00:35:20,320
with them any other time. I don't know
that it's going to be very effective to

412
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:23,920
build it. Well, I mean, we had a
full-time art teacher and it wasn't very

413
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:28,880
effective either. Well, I think I think
it was it's the personality. It's the

414
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:32,960
person. Yeah. I think that was
probably, but even with the right

415
00:35:30,720 --> 00:35:38,560
personality right now, our numbers are
so low and we're looking so tight on,

416
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:43,920
you know, we need to to
it's, you know, there's a a a cost

417
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:47,200
benefit analysis that you have to do. Do
you want to tell them kind of what

418
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:50,960
you're thinking or? Well, the the
part-time would be sixth and seventh

419
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:54,880
period, but both of the people that we
interviewed that would work well with

420
00:35:52,240 --> 00:36:01,040
the part-time position are all are
already working at the school. So, they

421
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:07,359
would be they're with the school already
in in another capacity. They would just

422
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:11,599
be um teaching the art classes sixth and
seventh period.

423
00:36:09,119 --> 00:36:16,160
Are they art majors or anything or are
we just like bandating with that person

424
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:20,880
that just happened? Neither of them are
an art major. Um both of them have

425
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:26,320
experience in art. We got to see their
portfolios.

426
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:34,800
Um and it wasn't just the art as in
painting or drawing. They had experience

427
00:36:29,599 --> 00:36:38,240
and extended art mediums. Um some like
sculpting stuff. Now, some of the

428
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:42,720
teachers that we were looking at
full-time,

429
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:51,680
they had some extensive experience in
art that would be impressive and to go

430
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:57,359
with your line of thought, they had the
I think passion that would that would uh

431
00:36:55,040 --> 00:37:03,839
hopefully build the art interest at
school. Um,

432
00:37:01,119 --> 00:37:08,800
so I would love to see art in other
ways. um

433
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:14,320
drama. We've got a new drama teacher
we're planning on having this year.

434
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:22,280
She um the drama teacher we had this
last year, I I loved Rich Hill to death.

435
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:22,280
He was very

436
00:37:24,720 --> 00:37:36,240
he was very strict in what he wanted to
do. He was a Shakespearean educated

437
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:40,079
drama teacher and his desire was to do
Shakespeare.

438
00:37:37,839 --> 00:37:44,320
He was very strict on that minimal
minimal um

439
00:37:42,720 --> 00:37:49,599
sets.
Um he wanted the the students to really

440
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:55,119
get into it which was is value could be
very valued. But in my experience in

441
00:37:53,280 --> 00:38:01,440
this limited
setting that we have here at our school,

442
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:05,839
somebody that valued drama in in a way
that they just want to bring the kids in

443
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:10,240
and get them interested and get them
involved and help have them help make

444
00:38:07,599 --> 00:38:17,440
sets and and stuff like that. I'm I'm
really excited about our our um our new

445
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:23,680
drama teacher prospect and
I would love to get more music involved,

446
00:38:20,079 --> 00:38:28,240
too. as an art if we could I would love
to be able to little be a little more

447
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:34,640
well-rounded
in in the arts for our for our school.

448
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:39,960
I'm not against art at all. I'm a
horrible artist personally, but um

449
00:38:40,240 --> 00:38:47,200
I kind of feel like maybe we need to
strip it down and build it back up is

450
00:38:44,720 --> 00:38:52,800
where my thoughts are. I'm kind of
thinking that to invest that much money

451
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:56,560
into do what I full-time
teacher. I don't think we can afford to

452
00:38:54,640 --> 00:39:00,160
do it right now unless those numbers
come up. Yeah. So, if we can get

453
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:06,079
somebody that would help build up the
numbers, even one year, if one year,

454
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:11,200
right, it can happen in one year, I'm
willing to put the money with, you know,

455
00:39:08,240 --> 00:39:16,640
into it. But right now, it'd be pretty
sad if we had,

456
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:21,280
you know, a full-time art teacher and
nobody to take no interest to take the

457
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:25,520
classes. No.
So, I would be in favor of a part time

458
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:30,200
at the lease this next year and then we
can see where go from there.

459
00:39:31,119 --> 00:39:39,720
Anyway, that's my thinking. I think we
have to wait for George to come back.

460
00:39:36,720 --> 00:39:39,720
Yeah.

461
00:39:41,599 --> 00:39:48,640
So, that's that's kind of what we're
looking at is we want somebody that that

462
00:39:45,599 --> 00:39:53,680
brings a passion to the program and I
don't think you can. I'm not very

463
00:39:51,599 --> 00:39:58,240
I'm not really and so we're looking at
it more like instead of an art program

464
00:39:56,240 --> 00:40:02,880
art offering you know like an art
elective. So if you

465
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:07,760
you know and then see what they can do
and then if there's enough demand we

466
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:12,880
start offering three classes and then um
we start taking an option B on our CTE

467
00:40:10,240 --> 00:40:15,920
block and um one of the guys that we
interviewed he doesn't want anything but

468
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:19,839
two art blocks but we can't give him
that. So he's like, "Well, then you

469
00:40:18,079 --> 00:40:24,320
know, he wants my CD block. He wants
sixth and seventh, seventh and eighth

470
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:29,680
period, which is great, but if you can't
get students willing to do that, then

471
00:40:27,839 --> 00:40:34,720
so I think we got to get that passion
back, then we want it. We want that

472
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:41,440
passion back, but I have a hard time
when I can't classes, but we're already

473
00:40:38,079 --> 00:40:47,760
struggling with classes and I'm really
concerned that we're going to

474
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:53,520
get passion. Could you combine like
drama and art together into that one

475
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:58,319
position? Oh, there's the same position.
Yeah. To where you did drama and art

476
00:40:55,680 --> 00:41:02,480
together. I would love to. Yeah. If we
can include music in there, too. Would

477
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:07,200
be Well, that's what
is, isn't it? And you could do something

478
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:12,760
similar to that. So where you had kids
from different disciplines?

479
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,760
Yeah.

480
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:22,000
Well,
I'd like to give his his try and let's

481
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:28,720
see what we can do next year.
So, do we need to do action?

482
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:34,480
I think we do. We want to go. Sounds
like you guys have avenue to go. We just

483
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:38,079
need to approve a budget. So, can you
come back and tell us how it's working?

484
00:41:36,079 --> 00:41:42,960
Absolutely. Absolutely. I would love to
do that. I'm a terrible at art, too. And

485
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:46,319
so, it's not I don't It's not that it's
not my passion. I just hate to see it

486
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:52,480
fall off because we've done so much with
it. We we what we want to do is get I

487
00:41:49,599 --> 00:41:57,119
mean, like we've had some good success
bringing people in that are passionate

488
00:41:54,480 --> 00:42:01,119
in their field with our CTE. And that's
kind of what we want to do is really

489
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:05,520
work for passion, not so much for, you
know, four years. We want to work for

490
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:11,359
people that have the passion. Bring the
passion to the kids. So,

491
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:18,079
okay. Well, I will make a motion to
approve the district art program plan.

492
00:42:16,319 --> 00:42:24,880
Half day. What do I was going to say? We
have to say what the plan is. Well, part

493
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:30,160
time.
Second. Motion been made. Second. All

494
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:38,119
those in favor? I. I. Motion carries.
Six in. consideration act regarding

495
00:42:33,599 --> 00:42:38,119
direction of the special ed program.

496
00:42:39,599 --> 00:42:42,599
So

497
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:48,160
Becky asked for this item to be on the
agenda because she wanted to make sure

498
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:51,200
that we were addressing a letter that
was sent. You guys got the letter. I did

499
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:54,200
not get the letter. We didn't get a
letter.

500
00:42:54,480 --> 00:43:01,680
I don't know. I thought it went to the
board. I I don't know. I just have

501
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:05,000
individual emails. It went to CC school
board meetings,

502
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:15,359
which I I mean I would why would I get
it? Get it? That doesn't make any sense.

503
00:43:11,359 --> 00:43:20,800
Um, so then we should This is a letter
that Melissa Dage.

504
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:26,400
I'm not sure. I met her once, I think,
but she resigned special ed at the

505
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:30,400
elementary. And I think anytime a letter
like this comes, the board needs to

506
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:34,079
review it and and address it and see if
there's concerns there that we haven't

507
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:38,000
that we're not looking at that we don't
know. And maybe I'll give it to Carol

508
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:42,160
and she can put it out to everyone and
we can review it on July. Are you going

509
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:45,480
to are you going to hire her position
before then?

510
00:43:48,079 --> 00:43:53,599
Is there any maybe I don't know who
addressed this, Jeff? Probably because

511
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:56,800
you're a supervisor. Is there any way to
get her back? Is there anything because

512
00:43:55,119 --> 00:44:01,599
you know an employee that is a good
employee is sometimes worth going to say

513
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:05,920
what concerns do you have? Are you
willing to come back or not? Is that a

514
00:44:03,839 --> 00:44:13,520
possibility?
Is it a possibility? Yeah. Um

515
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:17,520
not as just can I rever that? Yeah.
Thanks April.

516
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:24,000
Please. Is it something that you'd be
interested in? Um not really. Okay. That

517
00:44:21,119 --> 00:44:29,520
answers my question.
And and and speaking Jeff, we were about

518
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:34,160
to lose our our one last year and he
went to that she was on cruise and went

519
00:44:31,119 --> 00:44:39,760
and said, "Hey, you know, here's another
opportunity." Then that I think that

520
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:44,640
needs to be delved into in more detail.
Um because if you want to get into those

521
00:44:42,720 --> 00:44:48,319
I think
okay then because I think that it's

522
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:52,800
definitely something that we shouldn't
just let people go that we're special ed

523
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:57,359
teachers are like very hard to get like
impossible almost and so to let one go

524
00:44:55,599 --> 00:45:02,640
anywhere we ought to be at least
involved into the process of what it is

525
00:44:59,599 --> 00:45:06,640
that they went for on who whichever side
it is. So I'll email this to her and she

526
00:45:05,119 --> 00:45:13,040
can email it to everyone and then maybe
we can address it in July. Yeah. So we

527
00:45:10,079 --> 00:45:18,400
can just agendaize it.
Yeah.

528
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:21,640
So we just table that one for a bit.
Table that.

529
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:31,280
All right. Six.
Consideration and act regarding approval

530
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:35,520
of the proposition plan. An Arizona
framework for evaluating educator

531
00:45:33,359 --> 00:45:40,800
effectiveness and Arizona framework for
evaluating administrative effectiveness.

532
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:44,880
So the administrative team met this week
to try to determine what they want this

533
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:48,560
to be done and they I think they mostly
kept it the same. I don't think they

534
00:45:46,079 --> 00:45:53,359
made any changes. The only changes is I
think the the administrators want to be

535
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:58,079
more detailed in um some of the
components so that the staff know this

536
00:45:55,760 --> 00:46:03,520
is what we're looking for. But the basic
concept is on the prop plan that we want

537
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:07,440
to keep it based on the PLC and that's
that's part of where they want to say

538
00:46:05,119 --> 00:46:11,440
okay when you come to a PLC meeting it's
not attendance. It's this and this this

539
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:15,839
and this. Now they're a little bit
better understanding what the PLC I

540
00:46:13,359 --> 00:46:19,920
think that their their requirement now
will be to go create those rubrics for

541
00:46:17,599 --> 00:46:25,839
those teachers so they understand how
they're going to earn those PLC fees.

542
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:31,359
And then um the admin performance it's
not a prop 01 but but we do the same

543
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:36,480
thing. We do 50% on evaluation and 50%
on assessment scores um is is our

544
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:40,240
performance.
Then on the Arizona framework, this one

545
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:44,880
is what determines if a teacher's
proficient, highly proficient,

546
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:50,079
developing a beginning. Um, it's going
to be 50% on the teacher evaluation, 30%

547
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:54,560
on their assessment scores, and 20% on
their professional responsibilities. I

548
00:46:52,400 --> 00:47:02,160
thought we
uh took this more like in that they

549
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:05,599
accomplish things, not how the teacher
on the framework, their rating on the

550
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:10,560
framework. You're talking about the Prop
301 because the Prop 301 I thought we

551
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:16,319
took it off completely off. Well, you
changed the Prop 301 last year. So,

552
00:47:14,319 --> 00:47:21,400
performance as in you get jobs done,
right?

553
00:47:17,839 --> 00:47:21,400
It Well,

554
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:30,720
you we outlined whatever Well, we said
whatever the principles

555
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:35,359
uh articulated was needed to be done.
So, so last year we focused on the PLC

556
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:39,440
and they want to continue to do that.
We're trying to really we feel the

557
00:47:37,599 --> 00:47:44,079
elementary feels like their PLC process
is going well and we're trying to take

558
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:51,680
their model and implement it in the
junior high with some coaching and um

559
00:47:47,599 --> 00:47:56,640
and get that same level but but but they
but they want to be more rubric based on

560
00:47:54,960 --> 00:48:01,119
what does that look like when you come
to a PLC meeting. Do you have your data?

561
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:07,359
Have you reflected on it? Have you got
your plan? Because just you know, you

562
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:11,599
know what we said this year is you come
and you bring your data. But then the

563
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:17,599
problem is is that there wasn't any
actionable items and they're saying they

564
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:22,880
want to have it based on that. You come
with your data already analyzed, ready

565
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:25,920
to have planned. And so that's their
challenge is to create that rubric so

566
00:48:24,559 --> 00:48:28,800
teachers understand clearly. You might
show up to your meetings, but you

567
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:33,280
weren't prepared. you weren't prepared.
You weren't prepared. So, you're not

568
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:36,640
getting your at the full level. So, the
administrator

569
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:42,079
uh
rubric is the same thing.

570
00:48:39,599 --> 00:48:46,800
It's not it's not how you score. It's
just whether you show up and you

571
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:52,319
accomplish your Well, the the we're we
we can change that to that. But right

572
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:58,319
now, we're held to the old standard of
50% of our evaluation, 20% on the parent

573
00:48:55,440 --> 00:49:04,319
surveys, and 30% on our assessments. And
so, what we do with the assessments is

574
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:08,880
we take um Natalie gets all the
assessment scores from the from

575
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:13,119
Cottonwood. Mr. Jeff would get all the
junior high, and Mr. Campbell would get

576
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:18,640
the high school. And this year, the high
school was low. So, what I did with Mr.

577
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:22,400
Campbell is I gave him the whole because
everything was new. Everything was

578
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:28,800
kabbled. We came into kind of a bad
situation. And so I I extended that so

579
00:49:26,240 --> 00:49:34,960
that he had a little better. But now he
knows going into next year, he's got the

580
00:49:31,359 --> 00:49:40,160
accountability to that ACT. And so he
has the focus to now that we're not in

581
00:49:37,839 --> 00:49:46,960
that first year, um we're hoping that we
can focus in and make a really strategic

582
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:51,359
program to bring those. So, so this is
the

583
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:56,880
these are the pieces the components that
give a teacher her score or his score.

584
00:49:54,880 --> 00:50:00,880
So, your performance score, right? So,
the prop gives them money but the

585
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:07,280
framework gives them their score and we
took evaluation out because we want the

586
00:50:03,839 --> 00:50:11,680
administrators to be very very honest in
their evaluation. That's what we don't

587
00:50:09,359 --> 00:50:16,960
want to you don't want a teacher to lose
their money because they came here they

588
00:50:14,240 --> 00:50:22,240
but we do want them to understand if
there's areas that they need to improve

589
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:26,480
in. And and so one of the things with
Miss Natalie, she's thinking she's got

590
00:50:24,240 --> 00:50:30,640
at least three teachers that she would
like to get that have been highly

591
00:50:28,559 --> 00:50:34,960
performing
in the for the last three years, which

592
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:40,079
qualifies them for a new Senate, which
would be great. One of the things I've

593
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:45,200
asked the administrators to do is put um
flush flesh out the requirements for the

594
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:50,640
special education and some of our
teachers that aren't in the classroom so

595
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:56,480
that we have the same kind of um rubrics
to work with them so that we so they so

596
00:50:54,559 --> 00:51:01,119
that we're not just guessing that
there's a a rubric that we follow to

597
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:03,920
give them their rankings. And so they're
work going to work on that and make sure

598
00:51:02,720 --> 00:51:07,440
those teachers know at the beginning of
the year this is what is expected. This

599
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:12,480
is how you're going to be evaluated.
This is

600
00:51:09,599 --> 00:51:17,920
so so trying to I'm the one that puts
these evaluations together in and it's

601
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:23,599
so I want them to help me get it more
clear so that it's not um so it's not

602
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:26,800
arbitrary in any way that everybody knew
what they did and it's very defensible.

603
00:51:25,359 --> 00:51:30,319
It's very and they know how to move
forward. Yes. and and if they get a full

604
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:34,359
score, they know what they did and they
know how it is. Okay.

605
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:40,680
Do you know what your anticipated is?

606
00:51:41,359 --> 00:51:49,880
You always lose some gain. So, but I'm
hoping it's at least what we got this

607
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:49,880
year.

608
00:51:52,240 --> 00:51:57,800
With the town population growing, I'm
hoping that

609
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:07,200
junior high school. Uh
we used to be 250 but now I think junior

610
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:17,079
high 90 high school.
So 197 total count the junior high.

611
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:17,079
Did you go to the graduation?

612
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:28,079
There were a lot of people
that graduation

613
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:33,280
and a lot of kids they have 55
graduates

614
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:38,960
and let me tell you that sports
set up really good. It's just it's

615
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:43,359
gorgeous.
Put their millions and millions into it.

616
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:47,440
Oh, we know and for kids that's the
priority.

617
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:54,000
That's why to me it's important that we
keep a capital because we've got to get

618
00:52:50,720 --> 00:52:58,079
our facilities improved. I we just lose
them on our face, you know. And I That's

619
00:52:56,640 --> 00:53:03,760
not what's most important. That's where
kids.

620
00:52:59,839 --> 00:53:09,200
So if they have their parents,
but we're getting there

621
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:14,319
quality sports team. Well, you're
winning, right? So that's big thing.

622
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:19,800
We've got good teams. We got good
caliber of students is what we need to

623
00:53:15,839 --> 00:53:19,800
do to make sure we have

624
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:29,280
beginning to win with academics. Yeah.
Yeah. No, we we're still an AC district

625
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:36,079
and we're in a you know, so
we have nothing to be ashamed of. We've

626
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:42,800
got work to do, but still got a good
Okay, I'll entertain a motion on this.

627
00:53:40,559 --> 00:53:48,400
I make a motion that we approve the
proposition 301 plan and Arizona

628
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:53,680
framework for evaluating educator
effectiveness and Arizona framework for

629
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:59,520
evaluating administrative effectiveness.
I'll second it. All those in favor. I

630
00:53:57,359 --> 00:54:04,720
motion carries
6P consideration action regarding

631
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:10,480
approval of the 256 blue shield
insurance.

632
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:15,680
Oh, this is renewal. You didn't have to
thought we talked about that. I had come

633
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:23,680
last meeting I'd asked that we be able
to go out for bid ill and we chose to uh

634
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:28,480
the light group reach contacted four
different insurance companies and they

635
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:34,079
gave us a cost estimate with just our
census a rough census and this is what

636
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:39,440
it came out as it's in your board
packet.

637
00:54:35,839 --> 00:54:44,319
So motive health is one that misada just
barely started using and I called them

638
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:49,040
as a reference because our premium would
come down a little bit at the bottom is

639
00:54:46,559 --> 00:54:54,559
a percentage of what the difference is
of what our premium will be this year if

640
00:54:51,839 --> 00:54:59,680
we go up blue cross shield and they said
they're new enough they really don't

641
00:54:56,880 --> 00:55:04,800
know yet
whether they're a really good insurance

642
00:55:02,240 --> 00:55:09,760
company Jeff said they're new to the
market. He hasn't heard a lot of good.

643
00:55:07,119 --> 00:55:16,800
He hasn't heard a lot of bad. It's just
Which one is that you're talking about?

644
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:20,480
That no one? No, the motive.
Yeah, there's two different pages. So,

645
00:55:18,720 --> 00:55:25,280
there's two blue cross blue shields on
each page. One is our last year's and

646
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:30,640
one is this year's proposal.
Okay. But even so, you last last month

647
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:36,079
you said Blue Cross Blue Shield would be
up 11%. They came down. Yeah, they must

648
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:41,680
come. Yeah, they came down.
The love group got them to come down.

649
00:55:38,319 --> 00:55:47,760
Um, I reached out to United Healthcare
to see if I could put them on our list,

650
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:54,000
bid list, and they said, "Send us a
detailed census." And what that is is we

651
00:55:50,559 --> 00:56:00,079
have to identify if anybody has cancer,
how many pregnancies, that type of

652
00:55:56,480 --> 00:56:05,280
stuff. And coming back because we have
one of our employees is in remission.

653
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:11,839
They said they would not
they would submit a poll for us. I did

654
00:56:09,359 --> 00:56:16,000
and
uh Etna

655
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:22,720
Jeff said is super good at coming in
really low in your premiums the first

656
00:56:18,240 --> 00:56:27,920
year and then just jacking you 15 20%
after that. He says so his clients that

657
00:56:25,599 --> 00:56:30,960
use that they use them for a year and
then they're looking for somebody else

658
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:35,760
because they can't afford their premium.
Well, they're 100 they pay 100% of

659
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:41,760
everything. No,
no. Jeff says it's that's what it says.

660
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:47,760
It is it's an after deductible and the
other ones Jeff said that is what that

661
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:53,559
insurance company like the blue cross
they will do 30% and then after

662
00:56:50,559 --> 00:56:53,559
deductible%.

663
00:56:55,359 --> 00:57:00,760
So you came to conclude that the blue
cross was the best deal.

664
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:07,799
We're still going up 6% but as far as
what we get with our plan

665
00:57:10,559 --> 00:57:21,359
isn't some of our providers not taking
the cost uh IHC rental does not resial

666
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:26,079
no the rental like your oxygen machines
your CPAP that type of things IHC does

667
00:57:24,319 --> 00:57:31,599
not take them across the shel anymore
but there are four other providers in

668
00:57:28,079 --> 00:57:34,680
St. But they because it's out of Arizona
and cross.

669
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:39,400
It just says we no longer accept.

670
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:48,119
And this is an HSA plan. Yes.

671
00:57:49,359 --> 00:57:56,799
Maybe some of this will come down. So
Jed said motive looks kind of like a

672
00:57:54,880 --> 00:58:01,839
promising insurance company. He says,
"But with it being so new," he says,

673
00:57:59,599 --> 00:58:07,599
"You're just going to have to." Is Jeff
an insurance expert? He's who we use as

674
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:12,240
our third party.
It's the Love Group in St. George. It's

675
00:58:10,079 --> 00:58:17,839
not. Yeah. I was like, why do you keep
saying Jeff? I'm sorry.

676
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:22,400
You know, I would like to bring up 24
years of motocross racing does make me

677
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:29,559
an expert on motorc and Edna was one of
my favorites at one time. That was 20

678
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:29,559
years 30 years ago.

679
00:58:33,599 --> 00:58:40,319
Well, the cost of insurance to the
employer is important, but the ability

680
00:58:37,359 --> 00:58:46,799
for the person to use it. It doesn't
help if it's just a catastrophic plan

681
00:58:42,319 --> 00:58:51,680
and they can't use it anyway. Yeah. So,
the Genesis permit child insurance are

682
00:58:48,799 --> 00:58:56,880
catastrophic plans now. Is it's where
they're moving.

683
00:58:54,079 --> 00:59:02,319
He says the mode of health does have it
projected for next year which we might

684
00:58:59,920 --> 00:59:08,319
want to look at. He says so if the
district pays

685
00:59:04,319 --> 00:59:15,040
$450,000 in premiums and your employees
don't use that much in claims then they

686
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:20,480
reimburse the district what's left.
But the cost of healthcare now I can't

687
00:59:18,079 --> 00:59:24,880
imagine
I mean anything catastrophic is going to

688
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:29,040
be up for $450,000
for one person. Yeah. Hopefully some of

689
00:59:27,119 --> 00:59:33,760
these things will come down as as
inflation comes down because that's why

690
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:39,839
they all jacked up is over the past four
years. So Jeff said motive is trying to

691
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:45,440
incorporate a
a benefit like that risk retention trust

692
00:59:42,559 --> 00:59:49,680
does. Yeah.
And Mada says they just don't have

693
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:56,040
enough they they have don't have enough
employees that have used it yet to see

694
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:56,040
what type of coverage it really is

695
00:59:57,520 --> 01:00:01,559
or if the people around here.

696
01:00:10,799 --> 01:00:20,480
I'll make a motion to approve Blue Cross
Blue Shield as our insurance 2526.

697
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:24,200
I'll second it.
Second. All in favor?

698
01:00:24,319 --> 01:00:32,960
6Q
all the way to Z on this. Carol,

699
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:38,319
we're already in Q, but we're close.
Consideration action regarding approval

700
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:45,200
of 26 staff wages and benefits. So, this
is just a this year for um so this is

701
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:51,440
the uh the look at what we're trying to
do and so um you can see you know the

702
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:55,119
thousand for the teachers now some of
the lower end teachers I moved them on

703
01:00:53,680 --> 01:01:00,480
the pay scale and then added the
thousand so they some of them getting a

704
01:00:57,599 --> 01:01:05,200
better increase but just trying to keep
people uh did your benefits analysis

705
01:01:03,599 --> 01:01:10,799
change
no we're not changing benefits analysis

706
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:18,559
Except for we we no longer use AFLAC. We
use Globe Life.

707
01:01:16,319 --> 01:01:23,119
It's a it's a different third party. But
it's not something we give the employee.

708
01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:29,359
No, the employee pays 100% of it. And
the the percentage of ASRS went up.

709
01:01:27,119 --> 01:01:35,319
That's all that changed.
Your percentage is 12. 12. What was it

710
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:35,319
before? 112

711
01:01:35,359 --> 01:01:42,359
24. It's been as high as 12 and a half.
Yeah, it was I think it was 11.24.

712
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:57,480
So, everyone at least gets 2%. You're
saying

713
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:27,280
is listed here and I thought that you
she wasn't coming back to teach.

714
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:30,400
Natalie, do you want to talk about her?
I said Claudia is still on this list and

715
01:02:29,119 --> 01:02:34,960
I thought she wasn't coming back to
teach. She is going to move into our

716
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:38,799
title four coordinator,
which is what Daisy Mills was last year.

717
01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:41,839
Daisy Mills is going to move up to the
high school and be the title four high

718
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:46,680
school coordinator.
So, it's paid by title four. Yes.

719
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:57,839
Daisy.
That's what Jeff did two years ago.

720
01:02:54,559 --> 01:03:00,839
So, there are they teacher wages still?
Yeah.

721
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:09,559
She's not.
No, she's support.

722
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:34,039
How long did you put this on?

723
01:03:36,799 --> 01:03:44,240
When did you finish it? When did you
finish this report? When did I finish

724
01:03:42,559 --> 01:03:47,240
it?
Today.

725
01:03:47,359 --> 01:03:52,119
Yeah, we did the payroll projection

726
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:56,480
last week and then

727
01:03:56,559 --> 01:04:00,200
budget for the weekend.

728
01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:07,079
pay scale for people that have been here
longer than others.

729
01:05:07,359 --> 01:05:11,319
Is that on the first one?

730
01:05:12,319 --> 01:05:21,520
Is that on this analysis?
No, he's looking up because that's what

731
01:05:19,119 --> 01:05:28,960
I disagree with this. 10 plus years 15
plus 20 plus. So on 20 plus years we've

732
01:05:25,520 --> 01:05:35,920
given them 10 additional paid days plus
$2 an hour.

733
01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:40,480
So they get Yeah, they get the extra
week of leave

734
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:45,359
their when they get 10 year when when is
that? It's right here. It's five. 10

735
01:05:43,119 --> 01:05:50,960
years you get five. 15 years you get 10
and 20 you get $2. So once you get that

736
01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:54,960
10 mile mark, you get the district five.
So our goal was is that that they start

737
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:58,880
getting paid for their Christmas
holiday.

738
01:05:56,960 --> 01:06:03,280
Spring break in there, too. This is one
of the best things that we've done. And

739
01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:08,480
then then yes, then the 20 years they
get they keep their leave benefits and

740
01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:11,599
they get $2. Okay. It needs to say that
if this is something that What do you

741
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:16,480
say?
Anybody decides? Oh, okay. So we don't

742
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:22,079
give up one to get the other. Yeah, it
looks like you give up. Oh, yeah. Um,

743
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:27,359
she did an analysis of all the
employees. Well, well, except that your

744
01:06:25,039 --> 01:06:31,119
five days turns into 10. You don't get
15 days.

745
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:37,960
Yeah, your five days turn in hits, it's
that last line and then the last one an

746
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:37,960
additional. Okay. Okay.

747
01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:44,799
I was saying, yeah, because that $2 an
hour was

748
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:50,079
Oh, you thought you'd lose your
additional days. Okay.

749
01:06:47,839 --> 01:06:54,559
Um, how long would you do that analysis
to make sure that it was equitable

750
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:59,839
between how many how long they worked
and how much experience they had. She

751
01:06:57,440 --> 01:07:03,599
does we do that every year and she she
we whenever we see that there's a

752
01:07:01,599 --> 01:07:08,000
discrepancy, we try to make adjustments
for it. So, but she she brought us the

753
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:13,280
analysis going here where she went
through everything. One of the things it

754
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:18,799
is really tricky because because we
don't just have, you know, a pay bill

755
01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:22,960
like county because we get in trouble so
fast, you know, if we just keep and so

756
01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:26,799
we have to just Why would we get in
trouble? Because you'll just start

757
01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:29,920
getting more pay than what a Florida
have to do what counties have had to do.

758
01:07:28,160 --> 01:07:36,640
And he's had to cut they've had to cut
everybody's pay and and so the state is

759
01:07:33,359 --> 01:07:41,359
so like right now the state crisis. So
if the state cuts our budget, you know,

760
01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:46,480
and we're locked into these pay cuts,
then we got to go cut everybody across

761
01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:52,079
the board. So what we try to do is is
keep our our pay fluid so that we give

762
01:07:49,119 --> 01:07:58,079
the state gives and then we don't state,
but we try never to cut. So if the state

763
01:07:55,440 --> 01:08:02,720
cuts you, then they don't get this
release.

764
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:06,799
No. Well, that's what I'm saying is
we're trying to hold to it and our job

765
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:14,400
administration
because the state cuts us. Meaning,

766
01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:19,279
you know, tighten up and and that means,
you know, don't allow classes for 15

767
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:22,560
students. You know, that's that's our
job. If we get cut, we have to figure

768
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:26,960
out how to make a budget to work within
those cuts. But I'm hoping I'm nervous

769
01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:32,799
that the state's leaving this on the
publisher budget and I'm hoping that

770
01:08:29,279 --> 01:08:38,239
they don't because um how many students
do you need in the classroom to pay for

771
01:08:34,719 --> 01:08:42,880
that teacher? I I project 25
and so see with with that art program

772
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:48,880
there's no way, right? And that's where
I I really looking at and I put it on

773
01:08:46,319 --> 01:08:54,640
the administrator where are are classes
not full. Natalie's done it this year.

774
01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:59,440
She's um downsizing one teacher because
we just don't have the numbers in some

775
01:08:57,040 --> 01:09:02,560
of those grades. Um so she's doing some
creative and that's what I'm talking

776
01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:07,679
about. We just have to get more
creative. Um the other thing though is

777
01:09:05,199 --> 01:09:11,279
is is if we start having lower numbers
then we look then we're top heavy on

778
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:14,960
administration. All right. Then we have
to look at do we need two principles for

779
01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:17,759
junior high and high school? We probably
don't even though it's one and a half I

780
01:09:16,239 --> 01:09:22,640
understand.
So yeah, it's not just teachers because

781
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:29,679
I stand right and that is exactly where
I'm you know is that if so if if if we

782
01:09:27,279 --> 01:09:35,279
can so that's what I'm saying we'll take
this budget if this budget isn't fully

783
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:40,719
funded then that's our job is to go
figure out how to make a budget that we

784
01:09:37,440 --> 01:09:45,759
can look at for the next year because
depending on our Yeah. And if we get you

785
01:09:43,839 --> 01:09:53,480
know it doesn't take much to get you
know 50 coming in. That's a whole

786
01:09:48,319 --> 01:09:53,480
different budget than it is today. So,

787
01:09:55,600 --> 01:10:04,080
so do you think it's the ESA that put
the state in such fabulous? Absolutely.

788
01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:08,880
Because all the private schools went to
ESA and they haven't included.

789
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:12,800
So, when the VSA first started, you
couldn't enroll in ESA until you've been

790
01:10:10,719 --> 01:10:16,640
in public school for 100 days. Well, the
third year, they cut that and now all

791
01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:21,280
the private schools jumped because they
weren't public school, but now all this

792
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:26,640
information the numbers have gone off
the charts. And so what they have to do

793
01:10:24,159 --> 01:10:31,040
is is decide how they're going to manage
that. They got to figure out a funding

794
01:10:28,239 --> 01:10:35,520
source for it or um or they have to
change things.

795
01:10:33,679 --> 01:10:42,719
But they're pretty loving their doctors
and I don't I think they should do it

796
01:10:40,159 --> 01:10:47,120
source because I think the private kids
they'd be able to have the money as well

797
01:10:45,040 --> 01:10:52,320
as anybody else.
Uh don't you think it's more money than

798
01:10:49,120 --> 01:10:56,239
just what your goal? You don't get the
same amount of money, do you? They claim

799
01:10:54,480 --> 01:11:01,760
that they fund the private school, the
ESA at 90% of what the state has funded

800
01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:07,360
school.
But they have far less requirements, you

801
01:11:03,760 --> 01:11:12,480
know, they accountability of none of us.
Yeah. And that's my my my biggest issue

802
01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:16,159
is just um holding them to the same
thing that you're holding me to so that

803
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:22,640
when the students if I get students back
that they at least have been

804
01:11:20,480 --> 01:11:29,880
um with us to have information on you
know like state test score something

805
01:11:25,280 --> 01:11:29,880
that we can start but

806
01:11:30,159 --> 01:11:36,800
yeah I'll make a motion to approve the
26 staff wages benefits

807
01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:43,120
I'll
Motion has been made. Second. All in

808
01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:47,679
favor? I motion carries. Uh 6R
consideration action regarding the

809
01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:54,440
authorization of out of state travel
to library conference June 26 to the

810
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:54,440
30th Philadelphia PAC.

811
01:11:55,280 --> 01:12:01,600
It's going to be just Rebecca Hammond.
Um the administrators are the go. Um

812
01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:05,360
it's pretty simp. Well, she's a big
girl. She can do this. Yeah, she's happy

813
01:12:03,679 --> 01:12:10,239
to
um

814
01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:15,840
so she and it's going to cost that
anyway. So, our travel budget, our grant

815
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:24,080
has 5,000 in the board
for travel. Um and Natalie's I've gone,

816
01:12:20,159 --> 01:12:30,199
Vicky's gone, Sha went. So we've we've
different administrators have gone to um

817
01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:30,199
library confess.

818
01:12:34,480 --> 01:12:41,719
That's your challenge. There you go. Or
just go to St. George and run theirs.

819
01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:53,280
No, you don't have to do any of that.
We just didn't realize that we had

820
01:12:50,719 --> 01:12:59,040
We apologize, but If we can approve
that, then she's good to go. I'll make a

821
01:12:56,159 --> 01:13:04,080
motion to authorize Rebecca Hammond to
go to the library conference in

822
01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:11,199
Philadelphia June 26 through 30. I'll
second that. All those in favor? I

823
01:13:07,679 --> 01:13:16,239
motion carries. 6S consideration action
regarding review of the Y tri curriculum

824
01:13:14,159 --> 01:13:20,159
for
adoption.

825
01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:23,600
Your honor, commission approach. Here we
go again.

826
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:30,560
you you so you guys have already had
this. Um it was purchased before I got

827
01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:37,280
here. Um it's a program I've used since
2000. I used to teach yry to um special

828
01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:42,719
ed students and it's a program just to
help people overcome their barriers. So

829
01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:48,560
that's an example of one of the lessons.
Um the reality ride. It shows how if

830
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:57,600
somebody takes the quick easy method and
they crash and so on. This maze.

831
01:13:54,800 --> 01:14:02,880
So what what are you proposing? What
grades are you proposing to use this

832
01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:07,600
for? Um definitely junior high. Uh it um
missed the so

833
01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:13,679
I wouldn't find the curriculum and I
couldn't find it. So, um, but this like

834
01:14:11,360 --> 01:14:17,120
we're getting a new curriculum to us
every 20 days. This, like I said, you

835
01:14:15,679 --> 01:14:21,440
guys, you've already bought this
program. This isn't a a new curriculum.

836
01:14:19,440 --> 01:14:26,480
It's more of a counseling. It's it's an
inter when you guys talked about the bar

837
01:14:23,360 --> 01:14:30,960
the graduation rate. This was my first
thing. So, I've done an assembly at most

838
01:14:29,120 --> 01:14:36,000
every elementary school in Washington
County on this right here. this desire,

839
01:14:33,679 --> 01:14:43,280
time, and effort on how whatever you
want to do in life, it requires these

840
01:14:38,480 --> 01:14:47,840
three things. So, um, all of
all of your seventh graders coming up

841
01:14:44,880 --> 01:14:51,440
next year have done this maze. Um, so
I'll give it to them in a classroom.

842
01:14:49,440 --> 01:14:54,880
It's not easy. It's a it's one of the
hardest mazes you'll ever do. And then

843
01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:58,640
when you get done, you have the
discussion about, well, what did it take

844
01:14:56,640 --> 01:15:02,719
to get through that? It took desire.
Okay. Was it easy? Well, it took time.

845
01:15:01,280 --> 01:15:07,760
and then talk about okay what do you
want to do in in life you want to be a

846
01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:12,080
teacher you want to be a nurse a doctor
anything it's going to require these

847
01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:16,320
three things so it has about 12
different slides that has an example of

848
01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:22,000
a guy lifting weights and one side is
balloons and one side's heavy weights

849
01:15:18,719 --> 01:15:27,360
this side of his body's mus mus muscular
and this side's all

850
01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:31,360
thin and small so it talks about how
things so it's not a cl necess well well

851
01:15:29,520 --> 01:15:41,040
it's classroom but it's more of a small
group curriculum um classroom curriculum

852
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:46,560
for our red students. Tier two tier two
tier two intervention.

853
01:15:43,040 --> 01:15:52,239
So So this Lori Harper purchases it.
It's a $200 pre but I just told Mr. Jeff

854
01:15:50,320 --> 01:15:56,480
if he wants to continue using it he
needs to come to the production and it

855
01:15:54,640 --> 01:16:02,960
really is more of an intervention trying
to help students that are struggling.

856
01:16:00,159 --> 01:16:06,800
not like a positive action or something.
It's just a intervention tool, but if

857
01:16:05,440 --> 01:16:10,800
we're going to be using it with
students, we just

858
01:16:09,199 --> 01:16:15,679
so you understand what it is. I want it
on our website as one of the boards. So,

859
01:16:14,080 --> 01:16:21,120
yeah, I think you've already got it,
don't we? If you've got it, uh it we

860
01:16:18,400 --> 01:16:25,040
just it we
haven't approved it yet. No, she just

861
01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:30,159
was she says she wanted to use it for
summer with the student. We had her uh

862
01:16:28,080 --> 01:16:33,600
that disparity grant paid for some
counseling for the summer. So, we had

863
01:16:32,159 --> 01:16:37,760
her working with a set of students and
she wanted to use this and I was kind of

864
01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:40,480
looking at like a pilot. But Mr. Jeff
really likes the program and I'm like,

865
01:16:38,960 --> 01:16:45,120
"Okay, let's just bring it to the board.
Let's get approved. It's not sex

866
01:16:42,320 --> 01:16:50,880
education. It's not anything. It's just
helping students identify their

867
01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:56,000
challenges and listen to
social worker." Yeah. And intervention.

868
01:16:53,600 --> 01:17:00,719
Yeah. And that's this is not schoolwide.
It's just a matter of saying yes, we

869
01:16:58,159 --> 01:17:05,600
took it to the board and in Do you use
it in particular kids or everyone? Like

870
01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:09,280
I said, um my first use was Boxiller
Middle School specifically for um

871
01:17:07,920 --> 01:17:12,800
failing students that were in special
ed. So that's what I used it for, but

872
01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:17,600
granted this program has been out
because that was 2000. So that was 25

873
01:17:15,120 --> 01:17:21,920
years ago. Do can we get the your
supplies and and Yeah. So they've up

874
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:25,760
updated the program. Um I did a little
research today. They actually came out

875
01:17:23,360 --> 01:17:31,520
with a tolerance section. wide wide.
We're not using that. We're just stick

876
01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:36,159
to the the 10 slides. Um
yeah, so it just has each, you know, you

877
01:17:33,840 --> 01:17:41,600
just go through each problem. Um one of
my favorites, and Li had done this this

878
01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:45,679
year, is soup can. And you put a
different label on. You talk to kids

879
01:17:43,440 --> 01:17:50,560
about what's your label. You label
troublemaker and then what does it take

880
01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:55,280
to to change that label? Is it one to
one? And it's like no, it's not one to

881
01:17:52,400 --> 01:18:02,640
one. One good act. um does not equal one
back to that act. It's like four to one

882
01:17:57,280 --> 01:18:06,080
and all that fun stuff. So that's just
that makes a difference. This is up to

883
01:18:04,560 --> 01:18:10,560
review. We're not going to bring it back
for you to adopt. It's just it has to

884
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:16,480
have 60 days. Mr. Jeff will get some
items on the board agenda. I mean on the

885
01:18:14,239 --> 01:18:20,800
website that says it's under review and
so people can look at it and then we'll

886
01:18:18,480 --> 01:18:25,040
bring it back to you. Do we have to go
through that process? Yes. Okay.

887
01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:28,120
Okay.

888
01:18:28,480 --> 01:18:37,360
Do we need to make a motion review?
Motion to say that you put it up for

889
01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:43,280
review. I'll make a motion that we say
we review. Put it we put it up for put

890
01:18:39,840 --> 01:18:47,679
up for review. The Y trial for district
adoption. I'll second it. All those in

891
01:18:46,080 --> 01:18:55,679
favor?
I I motion carries. 16 consideration act

892
01:18:52,320 --> 01:19:01,440
regarding approval policy GCC
professional support staff absences.

893
01:18:59,040 --> 01:19:05,440
So when we were reviewing our policies,
we realized that our lead policy was

894
01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:09,920
overwritten. It's just a ASB generic.
And so we we kind of went back and

895
01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:14,320
looked our policies always been in the
first five years, you don't get paid out

896
01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:20,320
any lead time. And then after then we
would pay $75 a day and we lost that

897
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:25,600
with just the generic policy. We could
approve leave up to 100 days. Um and so

898
01:19:23,840 --> 01:19:29,920
what we'd like to do is we would like to
get that policy back so that it's it's

899
01:19:28,159 --> 01:19:35,679
there and those that have approved leave
time that there's a value to that leave

900
01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:41,440
time if they leave. Um it's worked I
think it's worked out very well. Um it's

901
01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:45,920
been helpful when people have had uh
maternity leaves or or an illness that

902
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:49,360
makes them gone. If they've got that
time, it really is a saving for them.

903
01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:53,679
But then if they leave and they haven't
used it, then they get a financial

904
01:19:50,960 --> 01:19:58,080
benefit. But it's it's controlled so the
district doesn't get like you know this

905
01:19:55,600 --> 01:20:04,960
horrendous bill as the But right now
we're trying to daughter have a policy

906
01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:10,640
in place for is this is five a new
policy adding

907
01:20:07,360 --> 01:20:15,120
that the five years. Yes.
The blackout days for Oh yeah that's

908
01:20:12,800 --> 01:20:19,199
something that that's something that
well and that the these are all I mean

909
01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:23,360
these are all things that just a
discussion item. Do you do you want

910
01:20:20,960 --> 01:20:26,960
that?
A lot of the policies that we review

911
01:20:25,280 --> 01:20:32,400
have that you couldn't do the first two
weeks. You could do the day before

912
01:20:28,560 --> 01:20:37,120
because that's it's just that we it they
it says without special permission from

913
01:20:34,480 --> 01:20:40,400
the super meaning it's an appeal process
that you have to go through. Meaning you

914
01:20:38,719 --> 01:20:44,000
better make sure it's worth it. So is
that all the employees? That's teachers,

915
01:20:42,159 --> 01:20:48,000
administrators, it's everyone goes by
this rule, not just the Yes. This is a

916
01:20:46,400 --> 01:20:52,320
district.
No, this isn't just but but those days

917
01:20:50,560 --> 01:20:58,480
around those days are very problematic
when people take them off. that hard and

918
01:20:55,679 --> 01:21:04,080
it's not that yes because it was on
review but but if there's things you

919
01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:09,679
want to change tell us now because uh
anyway I just want to go next year can

920
01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:13,520
we keep up with it if we get well that's
what it is is like in the past it's been

921
01:21:11,840 --> 01:21:18,400
if you have 100 crew date the most we
have to pay out $7500 which was nice

922
01:21:16,080 --> 01:21:23,440
because I could budget I mean I could
and they had to request it before April

923
01:21:21,440 --> 01:21:28,239
15 so they have to announce not coming
back and requesting I have time to file

924
01:21:25,920 --> 01:21:31,840
my final budget before April 15th. If
they don't do it, this policy says that

925
01:21:30,159 --> 01:21:38,080
they'll be paid out in the next fiscal
year so I don't overspend a budget line

926
01:21:35,440 --> 01:21:45,120
item that I didn't have money for. So,
um I think it's worked well for us. Um

927
01:21:41,360 --> 01:21:49,040
this graduated part I I brought from
another district, but we can just stick

928
01:21:47,040 --> 01:21:56,400
with the 75 or we can move it to the
100, however you want to do. I just like

929
01:21:52,960 --> 01:22:01,760
to get this back into place because um
wouldn't be 75 or 100%.

930
01:21:59,440 --> 01:22:07,679
No, $75 a day is what we've done in the
past. And but that's a 20-year-old

931
01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:12,000
policy that's been there as long as I
um and so I just thought that if you

932
01:22:09,760 --> 01:22:18,000
want to keep doing this longevity
structure, this is a way to

933
01:22:15,199 --> 01:22:22,400
um but then when they take time off, if
they only work a 4 day work week, that

934
01:22:19,520 --> 01:22:27,040
takes their time by 125. Um, I really
want to get away from

935
01:22:24,639 --> 01:22:30,960
sick leave to PTO because most of the
time when people take leave, it's for

936
01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:34,960
business or it might be for a doctor's
job, but it's like if you need a day

937
01:22:32,639 --> 01:22:40,239
off, I I don't want to say, "Where's
your doctor's note?" I don't, you know,

938
01:22:37,440 --> 01:22:44,560
isn't this started when he said, "Okay,
you've got 10 days off." Well, that's

939
01:22:42,320 --> 01:22:48,480
how we use it. We use it by PTO, but we
don't we call it sick leave and all of

940
01:22:46,480 --> 01:22:53,679
our policy says you have to be sick. And
I don't want to do that.

941
01:22:51,120 --> 01:23:01,520
people PTO and that's what we've done is
we reworked it to be a PTO policy

942
01:22:57,440 --> 01:23:06,480
instead of a sick leave and then in the
policy it says because we have this

943
01:23:04,480 --> 01:23:10,320
policy you will not be given sick leave
so this meets the sick leave

944
01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:13,760
requirements from the state so do you
think um I'm just saying it just tell me

945
01:23:12,480 --> 01:23:23,400
you think whether they should you should
have a different graduated scale amount

946
01:23:16,880 --> 01:23:23,400
for classified as or um certified

947
01:23:23,840 --> 01:23:26,840
way.

948
01:23:30,159 --> 01:23:36,880
I know, but we get a lot more benefits
than they do.

949
01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:41,520
You guys have to live with it, not me.
So,

950
01:23:38,400 --> 01:23:47,360
give a bonus for just bringing it up to
defend everyone in this room.

951
01:23:45,280 --> 01:23:52,719
That's what I like is it's contained and
and now it doesn't cover minimum wage,

952
01:23:50,560 --> 01:23:58,000
but before
when minimum wage was $10 an hour, it

953
01:23:55,520 --> 01:24:01,920
was I think
it does and that's it's not meant to

954
01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:09,840
replace wages. It's meant to just
recognize do a Skype in that time.

955
01:24:07,120 --> 01:24:14,400
So I I feel like it's worked well. Okay.
I'll make a motion to approve the

956
01:24:11,120 --> 01:24:18,560
policy. GCC professionals support staff
please.

957
01:24:16,320 --> 01:24:24,719
All second motion second. All those in
favor I motion carries

958
01:24:22,080 --> 01:24:27,719
6U policy action policy advisory
866-875.

959
01:24:28,239 --> 01:24:36,960
I just say put this on July. I would
come with this. Yeah. We've got more the

960
01:24:34,719 --> 01:24:39,840
administrators and I are going through
the whole policy amendment right now and

961
01:24:38,480 --> 01:24:44,159
we're going to be doing other things.
We're helping with some of the some of

962
01:24:41,520 --> 01:24:49,000
our policies. And so that's a study that
we're doing this month. And so we'll

963
01:24:45,840 --> 01:24:49,000
bring back.

964
01:24:50,400 --> 01:24:53,480
All right.

965
01:24:54,719 --> 01:25:02,360
85.
I was looking on. There you go, guys.

966
01:25:03,360 --> 01:25:09,480
That was a lot of stuff. That was a lot
of new ones right there. resation.

967
01:25:19,040 --> 01:25:25,320
So I believe
IP

968
01:25:31,440 --> 01:25:37,360
I got a message out
in

969
01:25:56,320 --> 01:26:02,080
for any days he's here and then I'm just
going to follow her through on track.

970
01:26:00,800 --> 01:26:06,920
He's doing a great job. He's going
there. Just check in.

971
01:26:10,159 --> 01:26:19,800
Okay, good. I would like to learn more
about this pop because I'm I know

972
01:26:15,199 --> 01:26:19,800
virtually nothing about it. Yeah,

973
01:26:23,199 --> 01:26:30,320
I have a I can get in. So, like I was
monitoring some of the high school

974
01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:33,760
students and I'm supposed to do some
grading on their classes. I'm like, I

975
01:26:32,719 --> 01:26:39,600
don't know what the heck I'm doing to
grade those things.

976
01:26:37,199 --> 01:26:44,080
Virginia does too, but she I talked to
her, but she wasn't completely as far as

977
01:26:42,320 --> 01:26:47,560
the grading and stuff like that. Yeah, I
don't know about that.

978
01:26:52,719 --> 01:26:59,080
I just didn't know if she if she
had

979
01:27:00,960 --> 01:27:06,360
people who have been in it. I think

980
01:27:14,639 --> 01:27:21,239
she took my line to Why did I just
elaborate?

981
01:27:21,920 --> 01:27:26,600
All right, hang on a second. I'll just
leave

982
01:27:28,560 --> 01:27:37,480
you
take out her stuff. So, I

983
01:27:33,440 --> 01:27:37,480
for not helping her.

984
01:27:37,920 --> 01:27:44,800
All my kids are on sitting there
watching camera. Not the best way to

985
01:27:42,719 --> 01:27:49,600
parent. How are you doing in your new
house? I mean, in your move, you

986
01:27:48,080 --> 01:27:54,239
surviving.
Moves are moves are not are not great.

987
01:27:52,239 --> 01:27:57,920
Thank you very much.
Probably good for your kids to be

988
01:27:55,600 --> 01:28:02,639
together. Is that helping there? Yeah,
it is helping there. That's what I love

989
01:28:00,560 --> 01:28:09,280
about living in the same house. I mean,
Walmart doesn't so hard. It's just he's

990
01:28:07,040 --> 01:28:15,440
not part of the lumbaries and it's just
hard to include him. He feels outside.

991
01:28:12,480 --> 01:28:21,840
They feel more connected to their dad. I
think it's a good thing. I I know that

992
01:28:18,639 --> 01:28:28,400
they're mama. It's hard. It's hard on
us, but it's the mama doesn't like it.

993
01:28:25,600 --> 01:28:32,480
Carol, kids are important. Mary said you
need to

994
01:28:29,760 --> 01:28:38,040
Do we need to help you tear down here?
No.

995
01:28:34,320 --> 01:28:38,040
I can tear down.

996
01:28:40,080 --> 01:28:44,520
They're good. You're good at that.

997
01:28:49,120 --> 01:28:54,840
That is amazing that he got done with
that agenda. Wow.

998
01:28:55,199 --> 01:28:59,719
With as much discussion as we had

999
01:29:05,840 --> 01:29:12,239
left
next year without having that in place

1000
01:29:09,760 --> 01:29:17,679
that is expensive
these days and all the state of Arizona

1001
01:29:15,199 --> 01:29:21,679
requires is that you have a policy. If
you don't have a policy then you have to

1002
01:29:19,360 --> 01:29:28,679
pay it. I didn't bring that up but
because I didn't want to

1003
01:29:24,480 --> 01:29:28,679
make it public record because

1004
01:29:28,719 --> 01:29:33,880
Okay, we got a job to get this budget
funded.

1005
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:53,000
I think I got your checks and your
stamps ordered today. Okay. So, um,

1006
01:29:55,120 --> 01:30:01,280
hopefully they go through. You got me
the PL, so I'll be able to give it to

1007
01:29:58,960 --> 01:30:06,080
them. They told me they would bill it.
Okay. That I didn't have to pay it ahead

1008
01:30:03,199 --> 01:30:10,040
of time with the credit card. Oh, good.
And then um

1009
01:30:16,560 --> 01:30:19,560
uh

1010
01:30:20,159 --> 01:30:23,400
I'm talking

1011
01:30:24,639 --> 01:30:27,360
and it So,
