1
00:00:06,066 --> 00:00:08,000
Okay, I have 702.

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,967
I'm going to call this meeting to order and we'll start the Pledge of Allegiance.

3
00:00:11,367 --> 00:00:13,934
Mr. Shane, we lead us off. Please

4
00:00:13,934 --> 00:00:16,100
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the

5
00:00:16,100 --> 00:00:20,000
United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands.

6
00:00:20,066 --> 00:00:23,467
One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty

7
00:00:23,467 --> 00:00:26,433
and justice for all.

8
00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:30,867
Thank you, everybody, for coming and attending.

9
00:00:30,867 --> 00:00:33,266
We are going to start with correspondence, Mr. Balke.

10
00:00:33,266 --> 00:00:36,033
Thank you. A couple of things to bring to the board's attention.

11
00:00:36,033 --> 00:00:41,066
The first one is you may recall we had a student, Dominic Lorinda.

12
00:00:42,100 --> 00:00:44,367
Lorinda Belinda even had me practice.

13
00:00:44,367 --> 00:00:44,734
Lauren.

14
00:00:44,734 --> 00:00:47,734
Dow, Lauren Dow, Lorena Lorenzo.

15
00:00:48,834 --> 00:00:52,300
He's a delightful young man, even though my pronunciation is terrible.

16
00:00:52,300 --> 00:00:57,000
But he is doing a recognition on Sunday, October 4th

17
00:00:57,066 --> 00:01:02,533
at Camp Carpenter in Manchester, recognizing his Eagle Scout project

18
00:01:02,533 --> 00:01:06,867
so the board may recall the board approved him doing his Eagle Scout project.

19
00:01:06,867 --> 00:01:12,300
He worked on the cross-country course out back and we received an invitation.

20
00:01:12,333 --> 00:01:13,800
No speaking required.

21
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,634
Nobody has to give a speech or anything, but I was asked to share this

22
00:01:17,634 --> 00:01:19,467
with the board if anyone would be able to attend.

23
00:01:19,467 --> 00:01:21,734
So that's in the correspondence folder.

24
00:01:21,734 --> 00:01:25,200
Also, we received correspondence actually, Mrs.

25
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,333
Paz did from Health Trust, which is our health insurance provider,

26
00:01:29,333 --> 00:01:34,200
on behalf of all three entities, Goffstown, New Boston and the saw.

27
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,700
And they are

28
00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:38,433
there's a process that they have an annual board meeting

29
00:01:38,433 --> 00:01:42,166
and they have a board of directors, if anyone is interested in that information.

30
00:01:42,166 --> 00:01:46,300
And lastly, in the correspondence folder,

31
00:01:46,300 --> 00:01:51,033
I have a press release from the New Hampshire Education Department.

32
00:01:51,033 --> 00:01:54,934
And this is pertaining to highlighting

33
00:01:54,934 --> 00:01:58,800
gains and continued opportunities for growth in New Hampshire schools.

34
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:03,133
And we would like to highlight that under mathematics,

35
00:02:03,166 --> 00:02:08,934
Bartlett Elementary School was identified as the top improved school in the state.

36
00:02:09,333 --> 00:02:10,367
And Mrs.

37
00:02:10,367 --> 00:02:14,200
Koehler made me promise not to share this until it was released.

38
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,033
So I, I have been patiently waiting to share

39
00:02:18,467 --> 00:02:25,033
that Bartlett Elementary School jumped 29% from 34 to 63% proficient.

40
00:02:25,066 --> 00:02:25,634
That's awesome.

41
00:02:25,634 --> 00:02:26,533
And Bartlett

42
00:02:26,533 --> 00:02:30,734
Elementary School also increased its reading and writing scores by 28%.

43
00:02:30,967 --> 00:02:33,967
So really incredible gains.

44
00:02:34,166 --> 00:02:36,734
The department was very gracious to work with Mrs.

45
00:02:36,734 --> 00:02:37,734
Koehler. Mrs.

46
00:02:37,734 --> 00:02:40,100
Koehler has a great quote in here.

47
00:02:40,100 --> 00:02:45,266
So just congratulations to everybody at Bartlett for a job well done.

48
00:02:45,567 --> 00:02:47,533
Anything to add to that, Mrs. Koehler?

49
00:02:49,266 --> 00:02:50,767
Just we were really excited.

50
00:02:50,767 --> 00:02:52,066
Suzanne shared this news

51
00:02:52,066 --> 00:02:56,300
with the staff over at Bartlett and they were just ecstatic.

52
00:02:56,300 --> 00:02:58,867
And it's just a testament to all that they do for our students.

53
00:02:58,867 --> 00:03:03,133
And that's everyone from our teachers to our custodians who keep the building

54
00:03:03,133 --> 00:03:07,133
clean, our food service workers who make sure that they're fed well.

55
00:03:07,133 --> 00:03:10,133
It really was a full group effort for the amount of work

56
00:03:10,133 --> 00:03:11,700
that they've done over the last two years.

57
00:03:11,700 --> 00:03:13,133
So thank you.

58
00:03:13,133 --> 00:03:14,300
Thank you.

59
00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:17,166
Also under correspondence, it's not in the correspondence folder,

60
00:03:17,166 --> 00:03:20,200
but I wanted to share with the public under policy

61
00:03:20,233 --> 00:03:23,500
BBC we did receive a board resignation.

62
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,266
Vanessa Hayes has resigned from the board.

63
00:03:26,266 --> 00:03:30,200
It's unfortunate that she was not able to fulfill her term.

64
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,734
I wish her best of luck and I can say from the bottom of my heart,

65
00:03:33,734 --> 00:03:35,100
I will miss her

66
00:03:35,100 --> 00:03:36,166
being a member of this board,

67
00:03:36,166 --> 00:03:39,166
but I know that we're going to talk about that under new business later on,

68
00:03:39,166 --> 00:03:41,600
but I wanted to share it as a correspondence that we had.

69
00:03:42,667 --> 00:03:44,066
Okay, let's move on to

70
00:03:44,066 --> 00:03:47,033
cheering and better news, good news and communication, Mr.

71
00:03:47,033 --> 00:03:48,300
Bulky.

72
00:03:48,300 --> 00:03:50,533
Actually, we'll start soon.

73
00:03:50,533 --> 00:03:53,533
And good news to share, Siobhan.

74
00:03:53,734 --> 00:03:56,700
Clubs have been people have really been participating a whole lot.

75
00:03:56,700 --> 00:03:59,834
Sports are doing great with the girls field hockey

76
00:03:59,867 --> 00:04:02,867
getting some really great wins

77
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:03,333
overall.

78
00:04:03,333 --> 00:04:05,467
It's been a great couple weeks with everything

79
00:04:05,467 --> 00:04:08,467
really starting to get underway after the drop period.

80
00:04:09,033 --> 00:04:11,166
On this being.

81
00:04:11,166 --> 00:04:12,066
I have a lot.

82
00:04:12,066 --> 00:04:14,734
Sorry. I'm sorry.

83
00:04:14,734 --> 00:04:15,600
It's all good news.

84
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:16,166
Good news.

85
00:04:16,166 --> 00:04:18,300
Lots of people who wanted your attention.

86
00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:20,000
So here we go.

87
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,367
At the beginning of the school year,

88
00:04:21,367 --> 00:04:25,166
students participate in an abbreviated day at the high school where they see

89
00:04:25,166 --> 00:04:27,166
all of their classes for about a half an hour.

90
00:04:27,166 --> 00:04:28,967
So they get the opportunity to meet

91
00:04:28,967 --> 00:04:31,834
to go through their on day schedule in the afternoon.

92
00:04:31,834 --> 00:04:34,500
Then they get an hour

93
00:04:34,500 --> 00:04:38,433
to discover new clubs, eat lunch, connect with friends,

94
00:04:38,433 --> 00:04:41,433
and then they go through their even day classes in the afternoon.

95
00:04:41,433 --> 00:04:44,867
It's the only time they do this all year long, but it gives them a chance

96
00:04:44,867 --> 00:04:48,600
to, like, see that routine and meet all their teachers.

97
00:04:48,667 --> 00:04:51,734
See who's in their classes following

98
00:04:51,767 --> 00:04:56,800
four days are add drop period where kids can

99
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:58,867
meet with their guidance

100
00:04:58,867 --> 00:05:02,567
counselors on a first come, first serve basis during their study halls,

101
00:05:02,567 --> 00:05:08,800
and they can attempt to change classes if there's room in the class.

102
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:13,367
During these four days, 426 students were welcomed into the school

103
00:05:13,367 --> 00:05:17,133
and received individual guidance and support from their counselors.

104
00:05:17,133 --> 00:05:22,300
We appreciate guidance, appreciates student patience and understanding

105
00:05:22,300 --> 00:05:24,934
as they work through things to get a smooth and successful

106
00:05:24,934 --> 00:05:28,533
start to the school year during September workshop

107
00:05:29,300 --> 00:05:31,967
here at high school, our teachers were beginning

108
00:05:31,967 --> 00:05:36,233
to prepare documents for our for our knees and C

109
00:05:36,467 --> 00:05:39,233
accreditation, which we have the two year process

110
00:05:39,233 --> 00:05:42,033
starting this year and rolling into next year.

111
00:05:42,033 --> 00:05:45,967
Teachers work by department and by common teachers teaching

112
00:05:45,967 --> 00:05:50,100
same courses to create a curriculum document for every course.

113
00:05:51,333 --> 00:05:52,700
So each course

114
00:05:52,700 --> 00:05:55,700
had to break down every unit that we teach,

115
00:05:56,467 --> 00:05:58,600
how the the vision

116
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,600
is portrayed in the classroom.

117
00:06:02,300 --> 00:06:06,467
They had to develop essential questions for the unit competencies,

118
00:06:06,467 --> 00:06:08,100
skills assessment.

119
00:06:08,100 --> 00:06:09,033
Strategies.

120
00:06:09,033 --> 00:06:11,900
Enter.

121
00:06:11,900 --> 00:06:14,133
Disciplinary competencies.

122
00:06:14,133 --> 00:06:18,900
And they had to relate the competencies to add 306 standards.

123
00:06:19,634 --> 00:06:23,934
We're going to continue to build on this in our September department meetings.

124
00:06:25,133 --> 00:06:28,800
Our school nurses, Kelly and Sherry Salter,

125
00:06:29,333 --> 00:06:32,734
certified seven GHS and one Mountain View

126
00:06:32,734 --> 00:06:35,734
employees in CPR.

127
00:06:35,900 --> 00:06:36,567
And then Mr.

128
00:06:36,567 --> 00:06:41,433
Greenland wants you to wants to share how proud he is of his students

129
00:06:41,433 --> 00:06:46,533
from last year who all successfully completed that services program.

130
00:06:46,533 --> 00:06:50,467
He got the results after we had wrapped up for the year.

131
00:06:50,667 --> 00:06:54,667
This achievement is highly respected in the food service

132
00:06:54,700 --> 00:06:59,000
and hospitality industries and can be included on their resumes,

133
00:06:59,100 --> 00:07:02,000
job applications and professional portfolios.

134
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,367
It's a it's a it remains valid for three years.

135
00:07:05,367 --> 00:07:08,800
So by students earning this credential while they're in high school, they

136
00:07:09,100 --> 00:07:13,166
they gain a competitive advantage as they pursue job opportunities

137
00:07:13,166 --> 00:07:17,567
in the hospitality industry. And.

138
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,934
He wants to just congratulate all of his students

139
00:07:21,934 --> 00:07:26,133
for their hard work and commitment to passing that test.

140
00:07:26,433 --> 00:07:32,500
And finally, we had our first home football game last this past Saturday

141
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:38,266
with athletes, cheer, music, and students all working together.

142
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,800
These games are always a great show of what we're able to accomplish.

143
00:07:41,967 --> 00:07:42,834
And that's it.

144
00:07:42,834 --> 00:07:45,834
Coming from Goffstown High School.

145
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,000
This is the superintendent, Wendy. Great.

146
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:48,734
Thank you.

147
00:07:48,734 --> 00:07:53,834
So over at Glen Lake, the kindergarten and preschool classes are settling in.

148
00:07:53,834 --> 00:07:58,000
And this week they will be celebrating Dot day,

149
00:07:58,066 --> 00:08:01,967
which is a celebration of creativity and developing confidence.

150
00:08:02,033 --> 00:08:06,567
The Dot is a book by Peter Reynolds, and it's the story of a caring teacher

151
00:08:06,567 --> 00:08:08,800
who dares a doubting student

152
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:13,033
to trust their own abilities by being brave enough to make their mark.

153
00:08:13,033 --> 00:08:16,800
So by Glen Lake, students and staff will participate by making their mark

154
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,634
and decorating a dot

155
00:08:18,634 --> 00:08:19,200
in a way

156
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,734
they would like, and they're going to post it

157
00:08:20,734 --> 00:08:24,800
in the hallway for everyone to see, and they will be on display

158
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,900
for Bring Your Family to School Night later this month.

159
00:08:28,266 --> 00:08:30,266
Also coming up at Glen Lake.

160
00:08:30,266 --> 00:08:34,033
Glen Lake is turning 20 on October 2nd.

161
00:08:34,066 --> 00:08:37,634
So to celebrate, they're going to be having a birthday party,

162
00:08:37,967 --> 00:08:41,300
which will be presented by the Glen Lake School Partnership.

163
00:08:41,300 --> 00:08:46,133
It will be outdoors on the playground on Saturday, September 26th.

164
00:08:46,166 --> 00:08:50,734
There is a rain date of October 3rd from 930 to noon.

165
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,300
There's going to be a mr.

166
00:08:52,300 --> 00:08:58,166
Aaron concert at 10:00 with crafts, stories, raffles, touch a truck and more.

167
00:08:58,166 --> 00:09:02,667
So the Glen Lake Partnership is also working to raise funds

168
00:09:02,667 --> 00:09:06,867
to make the playground more Ada compliant and accessible to all of their students,

169
00:09:06,867 --> 00:09:11,700
and they'll be doing some fundraising at that event over at Bartlett.

170
00:09:11,900 --> 00:09:13,200
Beyond the good news that Mr.

171
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,266
Bulky shared earlier, they're very excited that their fourth grade strings

172
00:09:17,266 --> 00:09:19,300
program will be starting up next week.

173
00:09:19,300 --> 00:09:24,967
And we have 46% of the fourth graders at Bartlett that have signed up

174
00:09:24,967 --> 00:09:27,967
to be part of that program, which is pretty remarkable.

175
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:33,233
Beyond that, all of the students over at Bartlett will have a new opportunity

176
00:09:33,233 --> 00:09:37,100
to learn and play the ukulele as part of their music class.

177
00:09:37,100 --> 00:09:41,734
So I'm sure every parent is really excited to hear the ukulele at home.

178
00:09:42,533 --> 00:09:44,233
The only thing more fun than that, Mrs.

179
00:09:44,233 --> 00:09:46,467
Koehler, is, of course, the recorder.

180
00:09:46,467 --> 00:09:49,567
I would agree. You're welcome. Parents. Yes.

181
00:09:49,734 --> 00:09:53,100
Yes, yes, I think I said

182
00:09:53,133 --> 00:09:56,133
from my children playing that so

183
00:09:56,166 --> 00:09:59,033
and over at Maple and Bartlett,

184
00:09:59,033 --> 00:10:02,767
the the buildings would like to thank the parents who came to open house

185
00:10:02,767 --> 00:10:06,333
last week and were able to see classrooms and meet staff.

186
00:10:06,333 --> 00:10:08,834
It was a huge event at both buildings.

187
00:10:08,834 --> 00:10:11,066
So thank you to everybody that came out for that.

188
00:10:11,066 --> 00:10:13,033
And over at Mountain View,

189
00:10:13,033 --> 00:10:16,133
they are also looking forward to meeting parents at open House.

190
00:10:16,166 --> 00:10:19,133
They have it this week for fifth and eighth graders

191
00:10:19,133 --> 00:10:22,166
and next week for our sixth and seventh grade families.

192
00:10:22,667 --> 00:10:24,333
Thank you.

193
00:10:24,333 --> 00:10:27,433
And Godstone High School has theirs October 1st.

194
00:10:29,533 --> 00:10:31,367
Any other

195
00:10:31,367 --> 00:10:32,834
shame?

196
00:10:32,834 --> 00:10:35,600
Because I was just reminded Jack and.

197
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,600
I were able to attend the Bartlett Open House last Thursday,

198
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,266
and we had a great time.

199
00:10:41,266 --> 00:10:44,133
So many awesome families, cool events.

200
00:10:44,133 --> 00:10:44,800
They were handing out

201
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,834
Aroma Joe's cards to people that came in, so it was a great event.

202
00:10:47,834 --> 00:10:49,867
It was good to see families and the kiddos running around.

203
00:10:49,867 --> 00:10:51,300
A lot of the kids were walking in and saying what

204
00:10:51,300 --> 00:10:55,934
their favorite part of the school was, which was often the gym or the lunchroom.

205
00:10:56,767 --> 00:11:00,367
Same thing, I guess, but so it was great to see the families

206
00:11:00,367 --> 00:11:02,166
and I'm really glad that we were able to attend.

207
00:11:02,166 --> 00:11:05,166
And I'm sure you guys had a similar experience at Maple.

208
00:11:05,934 --> 00:11:06,934
Jenny.

209
00:11:06,934 --> 00:11:07,634
Yeah, I'd like.

210
00:11:07,634 --> 00:11:11,400
To commend the New Boston Beacon, the newspaper

211
00:11:12,166 --> 00:11:15,266
on their happenings pages.

212
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,700
Down at the bottom. They put a

213
00:11:19,066 --> 00:11:21,734
goss down

214
00:11:21,734 --> 00:11:24,734
sports autism.

215
00:11:25,100 --> 00:11:27,667
Anyway, at the bottom of the page,

216
00:11:27,667 --> 00:11:30,567
you can cut it out easily and put it on your fridge.

217
00:11:30,567 --> 00:11:34,033
It has all of the games on each day of the week,

218
00:11:34,734 --> 00:11:38,700
if they're home or not, at home and who they're playing

219
00:11:38,700 --> 00:11:43,000
and what time they are for the for the month.

220
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,166
So I thought that was really handy.

221
00:11:45,166 --> 00:11:48,266
And the people that don't necessarily have kids in school

222
00:11:48,266 --> 00:11:51,300
can just cut that out, put it on your fridge.

223
00:11:51,300 --> 00:11:55,533
And if there's any games that you'd like to pick up

224
00:11:56,433 --> 00:12:00,266
when if you have an afternoon off, really easy to find.

225
00:12:01,066 --> 00:12:03,400
I thought that was really kind of cool.

226
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:04,367
Thank you. John.

227
00:12:04,367 --> 00:12:07,367
Any other good news?

228
00:12:07,767 --> 00:12:10,133
Okay. Close. Good news.

229
00:12:10,133 --> 00:12:11,500
I'll move on to public comment.

230
00:12:11,500 --> 00:12:14,533
Are there is there any public comment for this evening?

231
00:12:18,967 --> 00:12:21,867
Seeing none, we will close public comment.

232
00:12:21,867 --> 00:12:22,266
Okay.

233
00:12:22,266 --> 00:12:24,667
Moving on to our second item in the agenda,

234
00:12:24,667 --> 00:12:28,500
the review of the August 24th board meeting minutes.

235
00:12:28,967 --> 00:12:31,700
I know there are some questions comments.

236
00:12:31,700 --> 00:12:34,066
So Adam, I'll let you go.

237
00:12:34,066 --> 00:12:36,767
Hi guys.

238
00:12:36,767 --> 00:12:39,200
On page like the bottom of page six.

239
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,700
On page seven is the votes about the contingency

240
00:12:43,734 --> 00:12:46,734
fund that we did last meeting.

241
00:12:46,834 --> 00:12:52,033
I know we discussed the purpose of the continuously fund.

242
00:12:52,166 --> 00:12:55,700
I know I voted, you can see I voted in opposition to it.

243
00:12:55,700 --> 00:12:58,700
I would like the minutes to express

244
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,500
what our conversation was about and my opposition to it.

245
00:13:03,533 --> 00:13:07,133
So I'm going to suggest we just tabled the minutes until

246
00:13:08,367 --> 00:13:11,333
our next meeting.

247
00:13:11,333 --> 00:13:13,934
Are there any other points of emphasis in the minutes

248
00:13:13,934 --> 00:13:17,400
that we should take note of for today,

249
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,400
so that we can review them at our next meeting?

250
00:13:20,433 --> 00:13:22,934
Am AC, I and I.

251
00:13:24,033 --> 00:13:25,800
So yes.

252
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,600
Stelling Dan's last name.

253
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:29,667
Always important.

254
00:13:29,667 --> 00:13:32,667
The worst part is that I corrected it.

255
00:13:33,967 --> 00:13:35,667
Okay.

256
00:13:35,667 --> 00:13:36,767
Yes, superintendent.

257
00:13:36,767 --> 00:13:37,033
Yeah.

258
00:13:37,033 --> 00:13:40,734
Adam, can you just say a little more about what you're looking for

259
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,500
just to make sure Belinda's clear?

260
00:13:43,500 --> 00:13:46,133
So, I mean, it's the.

261
00:13:46,133 --> 00:13:49,767
When we talked about the 12 failing interactive boards

262
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:55,033
and using the contingency fund for that to pay for that.

263
00:13:55,133 --> 00:13:59,500
I expressed that I just don't think that's the purpose of the contingency fund.

264
00:13:59,900 --> 00:14:02,000
I know, like read, I had some follow up questions like,

265
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,600
I know we kind of talked about it back and forth.

266
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:09,700
So I just think for clarity in there, especially where the vote was 530.

267
00:14:09,734 --> 00:14:12,734
Just a little explanation of

268
00:14:12,934 --> 00:14:14,533
what that conversation was.

269
00:14:14,533 --> 00:14:17,266
Clear, Jenny.

270
00:14:17,266 --> 00:14:20,700
I believe the CNE meeting date needed to be changed.

271
00:14:20,734 --> 00:14:21,900
I know as well.

272
00:14:21,900 --> 00:14:24,600
And that's reflected. In the card. Right? Thank you.

273
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,400
Any other takeaways from the meeting?

274
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,000
Minutes. Okay.

275
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,100
So we're going to table the August 24th board meeting minutes

276
00:14:33,100 --> 00:14:37,700
until our next opportunity to present them to the board.

277
00:14:39,066 --> 00:14:40,333
Okay.

278
00:14:40,333 --> 00:14:43,266
Three presentation of the timber frame project.

279
00:14:43,266 --> 00:14:44,467
Come on down.

280
00:14:44,467 --> 00:14:45,033
Mrs. Cole,

281
00:14:45,033 --> 00:14:49,066
would you like to do the introductions and set the stage a little bit?

282
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,066
Sure. I'd love to.

283
00:14:51,066 --> 00:14:53,634
We have two fantastic teachers with us, Mr.

284
00:14:53,634 --> 00:14:54,533
Chad Bourne and Mr.

285
00:14:54,533 --> 00:14:58,900
Bracey, who have brought along a fantastic student here from Goffstown High School

286
00:14:58,934 --> 00:15:03,467
to talk a little bit about the timber framing project that they did last year,

287
00:15:03,467 --> 00:15:06,800
and to introduce something that they were hoping to do

288
00:15:07,266 --> 00:15:12,100
in collaboration with Mountain View this year for a new project.

289
00:15:12,100 --> 00:15:15,033
So at this point, I'll hand it over to them.

290
00:15:15,033 --> 00:15:16,066
Thank you.

291
00:15:16,066 --> 00:15:20,867
Yes, Aidan with us, who is a kind of a graduate from our program.

292
00:15:20,867 --> 00:15:21,800
Last year,

293
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:26,567
we sat before you a year ago to introduce the idea of piloting timber framing.

294
00:15:26,567 --> 00:15:28,834
And he was in one of those classes.

295
00:15:28,834 --> 00:15:32,967
So he got to join us all year as we sought to create

296
00:15:32,967 --> 00:15:37,233
this new curriculum and had the goal of putting together

297
00:15:37,233 --> 00:15:40,867
the timber frame that was alongside the first field at the high school here.

298
00:15:41,467 --> 00:15:45,634
So we kind of want to reflect on that and then talk about plans for this year.

299
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:46,100
Yeah.

300
00:15:48,166 --> 00:15:48,700
So yeah.

301
00:15:48,700 --> 00:15:49,533
Year ago.

302
00:15:49,533 --> 00:15:51,066
These were our kind of our plans.

303
00:15:51,066 --> 00:15:55,166
Really grateful to Wendy for helping us secure that grant,

304
00:15:55,166 --> 00:15:57,166
which made all of this really possible.

305
00:15:57,166 --> 00:16:02,033
There were a lot of new tools that are really focused in timber framing

306
00:16:02,033 --> 00:16:05,934
that are outside of the the wood shop tools that we would normally use.

307
00:16:06,433 --> 00:16:09,000
Creating the design. Mr. Bracey headed that.

308
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,300
And the big idea of using traditional mortise

309
00:16:12,300 --> 00:16:14,233
and tenant joinery to piece that all together.

310
00:16:14,233 --> 00:16:17,834
So putting together this pavilion that really only had

311
00:16:18,233 --> 00:16:21,266
nails or screws at the base, holding it to our foundation,

312
00:16:21,300 --> 00:16:24,934
otherwise just traditional joinery there.

313
00:16:25,300 --> 00:16:29,700
So we were very excited to do our raising day

314
00:16:29,700 --> 00:16:33,533
in June of last year, and excited that a handful of you joined us for that day

315
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:35,033
on the left here.

316
00:16:35,033 --> 00:16:38,367
That was kind of the original plan for what we were hoping to build.

317
00:16:38,367 --> 00:16:41,033
And then on the right that's a picture of the completed project.

318
00:16:41,033 --> 00:16:44,900
So if you haven't already, or hoping that you get a chance to go check that out

319
00:16:44,900 --> 00:16:49,000
at some point, it was super exciting the day of the raising.

320
00:16:49,433 --> 00:16:52,800
I feel like the overwhelming response was just wow

321
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,867
as people walked out to the backfield very excited.

322
00:16:56,033 --> 00:16:58,967
They were hearing how we were making this all year, and I think people kind of

323
00:16:58,967 --> 00:17:03,700
had visions of just like a shed or something like that, to see that,

324
00:17:04,567 --> 00:17:08,367
just to stand next to it and see the beauty of the centennial,

325
00:17:08,834 --> 00:17:11,400
really exciting for people.

326
00:17:12,367 --> 00:17:13,500
Anything to add there, Mr.

327
00:17:13,500 --> 00:17:14,333
Bracey?

328
00:17:14,333 --> 00:17:16,200
I would just. Full circle.

329
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,266
I got to be sitting in the third. Floor. Of.

330
00:17:18,266 --> 00:17:22,266
The press box on Saturday and watching our band said that

331
00:17:22,266 --> 00:17:25,300
Finding the Shade on a Saturday afternoon, it was kind of cool to see.

332
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,300
So they are appreciative of the ability for them

333
00:17:28,300 --> 00:17:31,300
to have a space to be during the ballgames.

334
00:17:31,934 --> 00:17:35,000
And here are a couple pictures of the raising.

335
00:17:35,066 --> 00:17:38,667
It was a field trip for our students.

336
00:17:39,700 --> 00:17:44,300
There were close to 20 of our students that took place in the raising that day,

337
00:17:44,300 --> 00:17:48,000
but also throughout the day we had classes from Gastown

338
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,166
that were kind of just coming out to really look at what we were doing,

339
00:17:51,166 --> 00:17:56,133
and we had enough helmets to have them join with us.

340
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,333
A few of the times that we were raising some of the big timbers, for instance,

341
00:17:59,333 --> 00:18:03,667
the picture on the right, we have these two huge posts with a tight

342
00:18:03,867 --> 00:18:06,734
between them, very heavy structure there.

343
00:18:06,734 --> 00:18:10,500
So we had 15 people pushing that up.

344
00:18:10,533 --> 00:18:14,500
We could have gone with the crane, but it was a very cool to use

345
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,233
human power, human power to bring it up

346
00:18:18,233 --> 00:18:21,233
and some mechanical advantage as well.

347
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,667
Here's a parent reflection.

348
00:18:25,667 --> 00:18:27,300
I'm going to read this.

349
00:18:27,300 --> 00:18:28,667
So this came from.

350
00:18:28,667 --> 00:18:31,333
An email after the fact from a parent of one of our students.

351
00:18:31,333 --> 00:18:33,900
So there's nothing more rewarding in seeing our child

352
00:18:33,900 --> 00:18:36,100
grow in confidence, responsibility, and pride.

353
00:18:36,100 --> 00:18:39,567
This experience has given our son much more than construction skills.

354
00:18:39,567 --> 00:18:40,900
It has given us stronger sense

355
00:18:40,900 --> 00:18:43,200
of belonging and connection to his school and community.

356
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,967
And I think this parent hit the nail on the head for this student.

357
00:18:47,967 --> 00:18:52,066
He came into our class in the fall about super confident,

358
00:18:52,433 --> 00:18:56,367
new to us down, and I think he created himself.

359
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,233
A community of classmates was created around him.

360
00:18:59,233 --> 00:19:00,100
He created friends.

361
00:19:00,100 --> 00:19:03,533
He created the ability to connect with people that I don't think

362
00:19:03,533 --> 00:19:04,500
he would have happened otherwise.

363
00:19:04,500 --> 00:19:06,533
And I think that wasn't just a story for one kid.

364
00:19:06,533 --> 00:19:09,667
I think that this kind of a project allows

365
00:19:10,500 --> 00:19:12,533
a greater sense of self and a greater sense of community.

366
00:19:12,533 --> 00:19:13,934
You're forced to work together.

367
00:19:15,900 --> 00:19:17,266
Aiden, do you want to

368
00:19:17,266 --> 00:19:20,266
chime in on your experience?

369
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,100
Yeah, I definitely agree

370
00:19:23,100 --> 00:19:28,734
that the sense of community is necessary for this kind of project.

371
00:19:28,734 --> 00:19:32,567
It would have been impossible to do without working

372
00:19:32,567 --> 00:19:35,533
with each other and communicating with each other.

373
00:19:35,533 --> 00:19:40,934
So I definitely still remember working with my classmates,

374
00:19:40,934 --> 00:19:46,133
and I know I'm friends with most of them now, and I've made friends

375
00:19:46,133 --> 00:19:50,300
that I'll probably be friends with for a while in that class. The.

376
00:19:50,333 --> 00:19:55,133
This was a great hands on experience and I to be honest,

377
00:19:55,133 --> 00:19:58,900
I didn't know how much I was going to like the class at the beginning, but

378
00:19:59,433 --> 00:20:03,667
I found myself really enjoying going to this class period.

379
00:20:03,667 --> 00:20:04,634
And it didn't.

380
00:20:04,634 --> 00:20:06,066
It didn't feel like a chore at all.

381
00:20:06,066 --> 00:20:09,133
And I'm in the class again this year,

382
00:20:09,133 --> 00:20:13,333
and it's a really fun class period to go to.

383
00:20:13,700 --> 00:20:16,367
So I'm really proud of what

384
00:20:16,367 --> 00:20:21,467
we made last year, and I think I'll always whenever I go to the football field, I'm

385
00:20:21,467 --> 00:20:26,600
gonna look at the the posts that I made and I'm going to be proud of it.

386
00:20:26,667 --> 00:20:28,934
So that's a really great feeling.

387
00:20:28,934 --> 00:20:32,033
We're we're really lucky to have three students

388
00:20:32,233 --> 00:20:35,967
who took the class last year and who are working with us again this year.

389
00:20:35,967 --> 00:20:39,767
So they're kind of acting as mentors, but also there's so much to learn

390
00:20:40,266 --> 00:20:43,467
continuously as a timber frame. So

391
00:20:44,433 --> 00:20:45,634
so that leads to

392
00:20:45,634 --> 00:20:48,634
kind of plans for the future.

393
00:20:48,634 --> 00:20:51,734
And we have our middle school friends behind us here

394
00:20:52,233 --> 00:20:54,800
because we've been talking and working with them about

395
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,166
bringing a project like this to the middle school.

396
00:20:58,367 --> 00:21:02,100
On the left I have a Google Maps picture of the the middle school,

397
00:21:02,100 --> 00:21:06,967
and there's a little star there if you can picture yourself driving up the drive

398
00:21:07,634 --> 00:21:10,433
with the softball field on your right as you go up to middle school,

399
00:21:10,433 --> 00:21:13,667
and there's a little roundabout, there's a space,

400
00:21:13,700 --> 00:21:17,033
a field behind the softball field that would be perfect for.

401
00:21:17,300 --> 00:21:22,700
A outdoor pavilion, outdoor classroom, a multi-use structure

402
00:21:22,700 --> 00:21:27,467
that would be alongside the ball fields that can be used for many purposes.

403
00:21:28,066 --> 00:21:31,000
So that would be using similar joinery.

404
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,634
We have more students this year and we'd be able to actually use

405
00:21:34,700 --> 00:21:38,900
do something a little bit more complex in terms of the journey that we're using,

406
00:21:39,233 --> 00:21:42,934
but you'll see the style of this is a gable gabled roof

407
00:21:42,934 --> 00:21:44,834
instead of the shed style that we have before.

408
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,500
Other thoughts on the structure here?

409
00:21:48,500 --> 00:21:51,533
Well, it definitely a little more complicated, more intricate

410
00:21:51,533 --> 00:21:54,533
joinery on there, but

411
00:21:54,700 --> 00:21:56,100
still within the wheelhouse.

412
00:21:56,100 --> 00:21:58,834
What we can accomplish with high school students.

413
00:21:58,834 --> 00:22:02,767
I think the really cool part would be it's in a location

414
00:22:02,767 --> 00:22:05,767
that's useful during the school day and outside of the school day,

415
00:22:06,066 --> 00:22:10,700
and also as you drive up the hill, you'll be able to peek over the corner

416
00:22:10,700 --> 00:22:13,834
and see this amazing king post sitting at right at you. So

417
00:22:15,767 --> 00:22:20,667
and just thinking about the day, our raising day when we go there

418
00:22:20,667 --> 00:22:23,934
with our students, and then the middle school students will be there

419
00:22:23,934 --> 00:22:27,400
to be able to see what we're putting up, getting excited about our program

420
00:22:27,433 --> 00:22:30,900
and what they could be doing at the high school is very exciting.

421
00:22:34,367 --> 00:22:36,567
And then just a shout out to

422
00:22:36,567 --> 00:22:42,200
some of the community members who have been pivotal to the program,

423
00:22:42,233 --> 00:22:44,233
the Beaufort Brother Tree Service, again,

424
00:22:44,233 --> 00:22:48,433
donating trees that went into kind of some of our woodshop classes,

425
00:22:48,433 --> 00:22:53,867
as well as the finished timber frame, and then Lee Sperry at on point concrete,

426
00:22:53,867 --> 00:22:57,700
which made the foundation possible for the pavilion as well.

427
00:23:02,333 --> 00:23:05,333
That is all we have.

428
00:23:05,967 --> 00:23:08,500
If I could also just mention Mr.

429
00:23:08,500 --> 00:23:10,533
Bracey, Mr. Chad Vaughn met with Mr.

430
00:23:10,533 --> 00:23:11,934
Loring and with Mr.

431
00:23:11,934 --> 00:23:15,834
Gross and went over all the plans and met with the Mountain View

432
00:23:15,834 --> 00:23:19,934
administration as well to make sure that everybody was on the same page

433
00:23:19,934 --> 00:23:24,166
with what it was going to be used for, to make sure that it would work.

434
00:23:24,467 --> 00:23:28,300
So all of those things have happened prior to them coming to the board today.

435
00:23:28,533 --> 00:23:29,266
Well, Mr.

436
00:23:29,266 --> 00:23:31,000
Lucas and Mr. Lewis are here.

437
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,800
Would you guys like to come down and

438
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,266
join in?

439
00:23:36,266 --> 00:23:39,266
You get dragged out, you might as well.

440
00:23:40,066 --> 00:23:43,166
So this is the what's what's being proposed is.

441
00:23:43,166 --> 00:23:47,300
So this evening you saw a great presentation of what they did

442
00:23:47,300 --> 00:23:48,166
this past year.

443
00:23:48,166 --> 00:23:52,000
And now you're seeing what they'd like to do this year. So

444
00:23:53,934 --> 00:23:56,934
thoughts on the space guys.

445
00:23:57,433 --> 00:23:59,834
You go.

446
00:23:59,834 --> 00:24:00,634
I mean I think it's.

447
00:24:00,634 --> 00:24:02,333
Absolutely a fantastic.

448
00:24:02,333 --> 00:24:04,333
Opportunity for Mountain View for.

449
00:24:04,333 --> 00:24:05,867
I. Think the high school students to be able.

450
00:24:05,867 --> 00:24:06,467
To do something.

451
00:24:06,467 --> 00:24:09,500
That middle school students can see.

452
00:24:09,533 --> 00:24:10,500
Happen and.

453
00:24:10,500 --> 00:24:13,500
Look forward to moving forward when they go to the high school,

454
00:24:14,100 --> 00:24:16,166
something that the community can look at when they come.

455
00:24:16,166 --> 00:24:16,800
Through.

456
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,767
Whether it be spectators watching a game, whether it be people coming from

457
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:21,567
a different school

458
00:24:21,567 --> 00:24:22,533
and seeing that we have this

459
00:24:22,533 --> 00:24:23,166
awesome structure

460
00:24:23,166 --> 00:24:26,567
and we get to talk about our high school students being the ones that built. It.

461
00:24:27,233 --> 00:24:27,500
You know,

462
00:24:27,500 --> 00:24:30,200
I think that it's a really, really awesome opportunity

463
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,066
that I don't think a lot of other schools really have the opportunity to have.

464
00:24:33,066 --> 00:24:37,600
And I think we're we're pretty fortunate to have this opportunity for us.

465
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:38,266
Yeah.

466
00:24:38,266 --> 00:24:39,867
And the location is great.

467
00:24:39,867 --> 00:24:41,634
It's right by the softball field.

468
00:24:41,634 --> 00:24:43,967
So when parents are watching softball games,

469
00:24:43,967 --> 00:24:46,734
they could actually be sitting under this pavilion area.

470
00:24:46,734 --> 00:24:50,166
It's very close to the fifth, sixth, seventh grade wing in the school.

471
00:24:50,266 --> 00:24:51,734
So teachers can easily be able

472
00:24:51,734 --> 00:24:54,300
to sign this out and have an outdoor classroom area.

473
00:24:54,300 --> 00:24:55,967
It's perfect spot.

474
00:24:55,967 --> 00:24:58,600
So I think and it's very flat already.

475
00:24:58,600 --> 00:24:59,033
It's like,

476
00:24:59,033 --> 00:25:02,767
so there's really no Groundworks or anything that has to be done to to prep

477
00:25:02,767 --> 00:25:06,000
the site for it, which makes things cost a little less as well.

478
00:25:08,700 --> 00:25:10,266
Thank you guys.

479
00:25:10,266 --> 00:25:13,266
Any questions from any board members? Yeah.

480
00:25:13,266 --> 00:25:13,867
Next year.

481
00:25:13,867 --> 00:25:16,867
Can you do an addition on Glen Lake instead of the.

482
00:25:17,634 --> 00:25:20,634
20 year old Glen Lake on the way?

483
00:25:20,634 --> 00:25:21,900
That's right.

484
00:25:21,900 --> 00:25:24,700
This is wonderful. This is really cool.

485
00:25:24,700 --> 00:25:27,700
Other questions or comments?

486
00:25:27,767 --> 00:25:28,900
Jack, I.

487
00:25:28,900 --> 00:25:31,567
Like to see it and. I'd like. To. See. The. Kids get involved.

488
00:25:31,567 --> 00:25:33,800
I know that

489
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,967
it's my trade, I do carpentry.

490
00:25:35,967 --> 00:25:38,233
I got a fever for it here.

491
00:25:38,233 --> 00:25:41,266
When I realized I might not be able to

492
00:25:41,767 --> 00:25:44,967
survive in the corporate world with my rent. And.

493
00:25:46,266 --> 00:25:49,133
Right when I have a chance, and my daughter

494
00:25:49,133 --> 00:25:55,300
and we work on projects on our house, the empowerment that she gains from using

495
00:25:55,300 --> 00:25:58,667
just a battery operated tool or a hand tool, and the confidence

496
00:25:58,667 --> 00:26:03,567
that that gives her to do other things is is really huge.

497
00:26:03,567 --> 00:26:07,967
And so I applauded the kids getting a chance to have that opportunity.

498
00:26:09,467 --> 00:26:10,467
Jenny.

499
00:26:10,467 --> 00:26:14,400
I was there the day that you raised the structure,

500
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:19,000
and it was cool to see how excited the students were about their work

501
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,133
and about how it was coming together and stuff it.

502
00:26:22,233 --> 00:26:25,500
It was really wonderful to see such

503
00:26:26,567 --> 00:26:29,567
pride in their own work.

504
00:26:30,700 --> 00:26:31,734
It was great.

505
00:26:31,734 --> 00:26:33,700
Great

506
00:26:33,700 --> 00:26:35,500
questions or comments.

507
00:26:35,500 --> 00:26:37,533
Mr. bulky, do we have to have. A vote? Yeah.

508
00:26:37,533 --> 00:26:41,400
If the board is in concurrence, we would ask for your approval

509
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:46,200
of the creation of the new pavilion at Mountain View, which is 16 by 24.

510
00:26:46,233 --> 00:26:47,266
Right, guys?

511
00:26:47,266 --> 00:26:48,467
Approximately.

512
00:26:48,467 --> 00:26:51,467
Approximately.

513
00:26:53,066 --> 00:26:53,400
To be.

514
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,367
Determined. Going to be 40 by 60.

515
00:26:56,433 --> 00:26:59,433
This is plus or minus, like a little teeny bit

516
00:27:00,367 --> 00:27:03,367
school students from.

517
00:27:03,367 --> 00:27:06,367
These guys.

518
00:27:06,367 --> 00:27:07,333
I'll make a motion

519
00:27:07,333 --> 00:27:11,133
to approve the Mountain View Pavilion

520
00:27:11,233 --> 00:27:14,233
as presented by the GHS

521
00:27:16,100 --> 00:27:19,400
timber teachers and the the

522
00:27:20,433 --> 00:27:22,800
administration.

523
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,233
I have a motion by Shane, seconded by law.

524
00:27:25,233 --> 00:27:28,233
Any further questions or comments on the motion?

525
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,834
Seeing no questions or comments, I'll call the roll.

526
00:27:30,834 --> 00:27:33,500
All those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye.

527
00:27:33,500 --> 00:27:36,500
Any opposed? Any abstentions?

528
00:27:36,567 --> 00:27:38,166
We are unanimous.

529
00:27:38,166 --> 00:27:40,500
Thank you guys. Thank you very much.

530
00:27:40,500 --> 00:27:44,400
Thank you very much for being here and appreciate you guys coming out tonight.

531
00:27:44,433 --> 00:27:47,433
Thank you. Yeah absolutely.

532
00:27:48,100 --> 00:27:49,934
Well done Brian.

533
00:27:49,934 --> 00:27:54,266
Just because we did receive some public donations for this work,

534
00:27:54,433 --> 00:27:57,400
did we send any or do we send anything to those companies

535
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,266
like a thank you card or thank you note or anything like that?

536
00:28:00,266 --> 00:28:03,033
Yes, we definitely sent thank you cards.

537
00:28:03,033 --> 00:28:07,500
But it would also be great to be able to put up a little plaque that acknowledges

538
00:28:07,500 --> 00:28:11,066
the fact that students did it in some of the businesses that were involved.

539
00:28:11,133 --> 00:28:11,700
Great.

540
00:28:13,166 --> 00:28:13,567
Very good.

541
00:28:13,567 --> 00:28:15,200
Thank you.

542
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,767
Thank you guys. Okay.

543
00:28:17,767 --> 00:28:19,200
We'll move on to committee reports.

544
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,200
We will start with Doug in finance.

545
00:28:23,567 --> 00:28:24,867
All right. Great. Thanks.

546
00:28:24,867 --> 00:28:25,800
Jeff. Are you planning on going.

547
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,000
Over manifest.

548
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,000
System as I.

549
00:28:44,567 --> 00:28:45,200
All right.

550
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,200
I'd like to make a motion that we accept

551
00:28:49,433 --> 00:28:53,767
the manifest from August 10th to September 8th

552
00:28:54,033 --> 00:29:01,634
in the amount of 3,604,117 $0.77.

553
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,800
Second motion by Jack, seconded by Adam.

554
00:29:07,066 --> 00:29:10,166
The manifest reflects three payrolls.

555
00:29:10,166 --> 00:29:13,166
Even know one of them was short,

556
00:29:13,367 --> 00:29:19,533
the payroll line being 2,821,940 $0.05.

557
00:29:19,934 --> 00:29:22,000
Would the major thing be in payroll?

558
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,000
1,491,000.

559
00:29:25,033 --> 00:29:27,767
Payroll taxes 470,000.

560
00:29:27,767 --> 00:29:32,734
And health insurance benefits being 822,000.

561
00:29:33,433 --> 00:29:37,834
We had one speed expenditure over the 5000

562
00:29:37,867 --> 00:29:43,100
for out of district placement, 58,515 and $0.08.

563
00:29:43,867 --> 00:29:46,867
And then we had

564
00:29:47,266 --> 00:29:49,934
the general expenses

565
00:29:49,934 --> 00:29:55,367
totaling 651,887 $0.19.

566
00:29:55,867 --> 00:29:57,100
Biggest thing being

567
00:29:58,033 --> 00:30:02,634
a payment that that will come out of the CSC

568
00:30:02,667 --> 00:30:06,634
are the the CRF of 1600,

569
00:30:07,567 --> 00:30:11,800
167,675

570
00:30:12,300 --> 00:30:15,300
IT equipment for 74,000.

571
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,967
Of course switching for 34,000

572
00:30:19,467 --> 00:30:22,467
and other miscellaneous

573
00:30:23,667 --> 00:30:27,300
said the total food service is no expenditures.

574
00:30:27,900 --> 00:30:32,400
And so that brings us to a total of

575
00:30:32,700 --> 00:30:38,333
3,532,342

576
00:30:38,367 --> 00:30:42,200
and $0.42, leaving somewhere in the neighborhood

577
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:48,734
of 61,000 of checks that were under $5,000.

578
00:30:48,734 --> 00:30:52,500
That can be found on our website and the check register.

579
00:30:54,734 --> 00:30:57,734
Any questions for Jack?

580
00:30:58,767 --> 00:30:59,100
Okay.

581
00:30:59,100 --> 00:31:02,567
We have a motion by Jack, second by Adam.

582
00:31:02,700 --> 00:31:05,100
No questions or comments. So I'll call the roll.

583
00:31:05,100 --> 00:31:06,033
All those in favor

584
00:31:06,033 --> 00:31:09,667
of this manifest as presented, please signify by saying aye. Aye.

585
00:31:09,967 --> 00:31:11,400
Any opposed?

586
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,166
Any abstentions.

587
00:31:13,166 --> 00:31:15,367
You are unanimous.

588
00:31:15,367 --> 00:31:17,600
Okay. So that takes care of the manifest.

589
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:21,033
And Doug is going to go over the budget transfers to.

590
00:31:21,033 --> 00:31:21,734
Or is that you.

591
00:31:21,734 --> 00:31:24,300
What do you think? Yeah, I think. It. Should be. You done.

592
00:31:25,834 --> 00:31:27,634
But I'll muscle through if you want.

593
00:31:27,634 --> 00:31:30,600
Me to know. I can get this. Thank you.

594
00:31:30,900 --> 00:31:32,100
That's a budget. Transfers.

595
00:31:32,100 --> 00:31:33,967
We have quite a few tonight. So tonight I just kind of.

596
00:31:33,967 --> 00:31:38,800
When we compare the list of the positions we were unable to feel like

597
00:31:38,834 --> 00:31:39,800
other school districts.

598
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,800
We are struggling to hire speech.

599
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,600
Sometimes we struggle to hire OT as well as PT as well.

600
00:31:45,634 --> 00:31:49,066
But tonight you'll see it's mainly speech that we had many positions,

601
00:31:49,066 --> 00:31:52,066
whether that be at Maple, the middle school,

602
00:31:52,500 --> 00:31:57,500
as well as we have positions for life skills at the high school,

603
00:31:57,533 --> 00:32:01,400
rights at the middle school and high school.

604
00:32:01,433 --> 00:32:03,934
So those were positions we were unable to hire.

605
00:32:03,934 --> 00:32:09,133
And then we also have just some transfers of positions between the buildings.

606
00:32:09,467 --> 00:32:13,600
So as we have our budget, we look to stay within our obviously within our budget,

607
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:18,634
but also within our headcount that gets approved by the town as well.

608
00:32:18,667 --> 00:32:21,700
Now with that, you know, every year there comes

609
00:32:21,767 --> 00:32:23,300
different needs at different buildings.

610
00:32:23,300 --> 00:32:25,200
So this year we had more of a

611
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,900
need at the middle school, both at the sixth grade due to enrollment.

612
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:29,967
So they would have benefited

613
00:32:29,967 --> 00:32:34,100
from an additional teacher in fifth grade wasn't part of the budget process,

614
00:32:34,100 --> 00:32:38,600
but we wanted to bump up the the teacher into sixth grade.

615
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:42,200
This will be a one year position, as when they go into seventh grade,

616
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:46,000
when they combine with New Boston, they won't need an additional teacher

617
00:32:46,033 --> 00:32:49,834
due to size of New Boston, but also just how seventh grade is

618
00:32:49,834 --> 00:32:52,133
configured a little bit differently at the middle school as well.

619
00:32:52,133 --> 00:32:56,400
And then there was a need for some additional help

620
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,400
in math in Sanford, eighth grade at the middle school.

621
00:32:59,667 --> 00:33:02,900
So we took a position from an elementary school

622
00:33:02,900 --> 00:33:06,033
which was not as needed, moved it to the middle school

623
00:33:06,033 --> 00:33:10,166
in a position from a district position and moved it to the middle school.

624
00:33:10,166 --> 00:33:13,800
So again, each year we're looking at the needs not only of one school,

625
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,800
but of the whole district, and then looking to use what the taxpayers

626
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:22,367
have approved in order to fulfill those needs as much as possible.

627
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:27,667
So those are the main ones which would need the school board authorization.

628
00:33:27,700 --> 00:33:30,700
A motion to accept all of those at

629
00:33:30,700 --> 00:33:34,467
the very bottom is also other transfers which have occurred.

630
00:33:34,467 --> 00:33:37,867
So transfers over 10,000 require school board permission.

631
00:33:37,867 --> 00:33:39,834
Transfers under 10,000 do not.

632
00:33:39,834 --> 00:33:43,767
But we always present those transfers to the school boards as well.

633
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:49,667
So key amongst this was Bartlett was two FM system

634
00:33:49,667 --> 00:33:52,800
shy of having an FM system in each of their roles.

635
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,367
So like other instances where special education

636
00:33:56,700 --> 00:33:59,834
has been seen to see a best practice, FM systems are the same way.

637
00:33:59,867 --> 00:34:01,000
So what it allows,

638
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:05,600
it allows the teachers voice to go be projected through a speaker.

639
00:34:05,734 --> 00:34:07,066
So whether the teacher has a cold

640
00:34:07,066 --> 00:34:08,667
or whether the teacher is looking at the board

641
00:34:08,667 --> 00:34:10,900
and not the students, or in a corner type of thing,

642
00:34:10,900 --> 00:34:13,867
every student has the same access to the voice,

643
00:34:13,867 --> 00:34:16,266
no matter if they're sitting close to the teacher or not close to the teacher.

644
00:34:16,266 --> 00:34:20,333
So it is something that pretty much a lot of schools have been trying to,

645
00:34:20,367 --> 00:34:21,667
you know, kind of adopt.

646
00:34:21,667 --> 00:34:23,567
Having one per room Maple have already has it.

647
00:34:23,567 --> 00:34:26,567
And this will bring Bartlett up to that as well.

648
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,133
Or did bring Bartlett up to that as well.

649
00:34:29,133 --> 00:34:34,033
So so you can see there is an amount that we'd be looking for a board

650
00:34:34,033 --> 00:34:38,200
authorization, but definitely willing to take any questions before that.

651
00:34:39,100 --> 00:34:42,700
What questions do we have for Doug on these transfers or comments?

652
00:34:46,300 --> 00:34:48,767
Doug, I know that you said it, but I just want to reiterate

653
00:34:48,767 --> 00:34:51,567
these are not new positions that we're putting in.

654
00:34:51,567 --> 00:34:54,767
It's taking positions that have not been filled.

655
00:34:54,767 --> 00:34:57,333
And unfortunately, using contracted services

656
00:34:57,333 --> 00:34:58,000
which are a little bit

657
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,900
more expensive for us to to do because we couldn't feel those positions.

658
00:35:01,900 --> 00:35:06,533
And then the movement that's also listed here again is not new headcount.

659
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:10,600
It's using existing headcount to cover the needs that we have within the district

660
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:11,667
for this particular year.

661
00:35:11,667 --> 00:35:15,533
So just want to know new heads as associated

662
00:35:15,533 --> 00:35:17,834
with any of these motions that are coming out.

663
00:35:17,834 --> 00:35:19,200
That is correct.

664
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:20,033
Right.

665
00:35:20,033 --> 00:35:23,500
With that, I'll accept a motion from somebody to accept the transfer

666
00:35:23,500 --> 00:35:28,266
amount requested of $670,632 from

667
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,533
some lines into other professional services,

668
00:35:32,533 --> 00:35:35,533
and also movements through schools.

669
00:35:35,900 --> 00:35:38,066
So that motion is being made

670
00:35:38,066 --> 00:35:41,233
by Jack, seconded by Reta.

671
00:35:41,967 --> 00:35:44,200
Any further questions or comments?

672
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:47,200
Seeing none, I'll call the roll.

673
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:51,266
All those in favor of these transfers as presented signify by saying aye. Aye.

674
00:35:51,567 --> 00:35:53,467
Any opposed?

675
00:35:53,467 --> 00:35:55,233
Any abstentions?

676
00:35:55,233 --> 00:35:58,133
We are unanimous.

677
00:35:58,133 --> 00:35:59,066
Okay.

678
00:35:59,066 --> 00:36:01,867
So see our report here, Mr. Totten.

679
00:36:01,867 --> 00:36:04,767
Yeah. So expenditure and revenue. Revenue.

680
00:36:04,767 --> 00:36:09,100
We don't really receive a lot during the summer other than from the town.

681
00:36:09,100 --> 00:36:12,767
As far as what is the school taxes

682
00:36:12,767 --> 00:36:16,000
that are paid towards the town and then disbursed to the school.

683
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,767
In regards to the expenditure report, you'll note a couple of things.

684
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:23,266
One is that we have not encumbered health insurance at this point.

685
00:36:23,300 --> 00:36:27,667
So we wait for a couple invoices to come through so we can see

686
00:36:27,900 --> 00:36:29,834
where health insurance is going to kind of level off

687
00:36:29,834 --> 00:36:32,200
after some choices have been made by staff.

688
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,567
And then what we do is we encumber after that point.

689
00:36:34,567 --> 00:36:36,100
So we should be encompassing pretty soon.

690
00:36:36,100 --> 00:36:41,200
Health insurance obviously, along with salaries, that is a larger expense.

691
00:36:41,533 --> 00:36:45,333
You'll also see if you're on page two that the other

692
00:36:45,333 --> 00:36:49,867
professional services is a -612,000.

693
00:36:49,900 --> 00:36:52,400
So that's partly what we just transferred into.

694
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:57,767
So while contracted services are more than we would pay our own teacher,

695
00:36:57,767 --> 00:37:02,700
so we won't be able to fully cover that with our expenses with our transfers.

696
00:37:02,700 --> 00:37:06,066
But we'll that 612,000 will shrink

697
00:37:06,467 --> 00:37:10,767
due to the board's decision to confirm the transfers from there as well.

698
00:37:10,934 --> 00:37:14,567
So I don't know if there's questions about revenue or expenses.

699
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:17,800
Thank you.

700
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:18,967
Doug. Appreciate that.

701
00:37:18,967 --> 00:37:22,634
Seeing no questions or comments we'll move on to the audit.

702
00:37:22,634 --> 00:37:25,433
Contingency and encumbrances.

703
00:37:25,433 --> 00:37:28,467
So everyone I passed out and was not part of the board packet

704
00:37:28,467 --> 00:37:32,300
because we did not get confirmation back from Plaza until late last week.

705
00:37:32,667 --> 00:37:35,667
But there are pages stapled together.

706
00:37:35,834 --> 00:37:37,567
And so what happens

707
00:37:37,567 --> 00:37:41,700
is that we have our audit done and we get our financial numbers.

708
00:37:41,700 --> 00:37:46,734
Then I look to create the Doe 25, which is down to the penny as far as expenses go.

709
00:37:47,166 --> 00:37:50,767
And then Plaza checks the work for the Doe 25.

710
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,433
So they got that work checked back to me late last week,

711
00:37:54,467 --> 00:37:58,333
at which point we have very confirmed numbers here.

712
00:37:58,333 --> 00:38:01,934
So what you're seeing is page one of the Doe 25, because the board

713
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:05,233
still has a choice to make at this point.

714
00:38:05,367 --> 00:38:07,133
So page one is about the balance sheet.

715
00:38:07,133 --> 00:38:11,567
So about your assets which equal your liabilities and your equity.

716
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:15,467
So the bottom left hand corner I kind of put into a box

717
00:38:15,467 --> 00:38:19,367
because that's kind of the last decisions that the board has to make on equity.

718
00:38:19,367 --> 00:38:23,133
And I used some colors to kind of coat it to the next page.

719
00:38:23,767 --> 00:38:24,934
Partly just to kind of

720
00:38:24,934 --> 00:38:28,767
go gives me a chance to kind of go over what equity looks like for a school

721
00:38:28,767 --> 00:38:32,934
so you can see, you know, equity or what we kind of truly own

722
00:38:33,100 --> 00:38:35,533
because it's no longer that that liability,

723
00:38:35,533 --> 00:38:38,934
the assets you have to take away what you still owe people as well.

724
00:38:38,934 --> 00:38:41,934
And again, an audit is a is a point in time.

725
00:38:41,934 --> 00:38:45,800
So for our point in time, it's June 30th 2026.

726
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,734
So our equity is broken up into the following categories.

727
00:38:49,734 --> 00:38:51,634
So it's reserve for inventories.

728
00:38:51,634 --> 00:38:55,233
So this is actually what was in the and propane tanks

729
00:38:55,300 --> 00:38:59,033
or in this case propane tanks at the end of June.

730
00:38:59,166 --> 00:39:01,433
So we actually use a dipstick figure it out.

731
00:39:01,433 --> 00:39:06,867
And that's that's partly what the the town owns at that point.

732
00:39:06,900 --> 00:39:09,400
We also have reserved for prepaid expenses.

733
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:15,667
So while we run off of a June to I'm sorry, July through June

734
00:39:15,667 --> 00:39:18,767
fiscal year, other places like prime runoff of the calendar year.

735
00:39:18,767 --> 00:39:20,533
And so sometimes when we're paying a bill,

736
00:39:20,533 --> 00:39:22,667
we're paying for the whole calendar year.

737
00:39:22,667 --> 00:39:24,634
And so when we got the bill in January

738
00:39:24,634 --> 00:39:28,500
for fiscal for calendar year 2026, we paid the whole thing.

739
00:39:28,500 --> 00:39:32,734
So we prepaid for July through August.

740
00:39:32,734 --> 00:39:35,500
So that's showing that prepayment amount.

741
00:39:35,500 --> 00:39:37,166
Then we have reserved for amounts voted.

742
00:39:37,166 --> 00:39:41,400
So this is where the taxpayers have a say in regards to the CRF fund.

743
00:39:41,834 --> 00:39:45,533
And they voted if there was unassigned fund balance, which we do have,

744
00:39:45,567 --> 00:39:51,333
that 300,000 of that would go to the CRF deposit reserve for encumbrances.

745
00:39:51,367 --> 00:39:55,734
So this we talked about last board meeting,

746
00:39:55,734 --> 00:40:01,433
and the board decided to zero out quite a few of those encumbrances.

747
00:40:01,700 --> 00:40:04,800
But we have some which are still due,

748
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:08,667
and those are known expenses that we haven't had the final invoice for.

749
00:40:08,667 --> 00:40:12,033
So that can be for transportation, that could be for

750
00:40:12,033 --> 00:40:14,233
something needed to be fixed. But we haven't got the invoice for.

751
00:40:14,233 --> 00:40:18,500
So we know we have to pay it, but we haven't got that final amount yet,

752
00:40:18,533 --> 00:40:24,033
even though we might have 100% or 95% sure of what that final amount is.

753
00:40:24,166 --> 00:40:27,333
The next area of equity is a contingency fund.

754
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:31,767
So at the June 1st meeting, the board decided to keep it

755
00:40:31,767 --> 00:40:34,934
the same amount as what it was for fiscal year 26, knowing

756
00:40:34,967 --> 00:40:38,266
that there would be an additional time to vote for it as well.

757
00:40:38,934 --> 00:40:43,233
So that amount is at 1.731 million.

758
00:40:43,233 --> 00:40:48,333
It could go up by $24,558.

759
00:40:48,500 --> 00:40:51,667
Because the town has allowed Goffstown to hold

760
00:40:51,667 --> 00:40:55,634
a maximum of 5% of the money that they had

761
00:40:55,634 --> 00:40:59,667
previously put towards taxes for education.

762
00:40:59,700 --> 00:41:05,634
So the board tonight could increase the contingency or decrease the contingency.

763
00:41:05,634 --> 00:41:09,800
And then lastly, the amount is the unassigned fund balance.

764
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:15,200
So this is what's used to offset the taxes as we work with the Drey this fall.

765
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,600
So we can see that at this point

766
00:41:19,533 --> 00:41:20,100
the board has

767
00:41:20,100 --> 00:41:23,500
made different decisions and there's different legal requirements.

768
00:41:23,500 --> 00:41:28,467
So really what can be changed is the amount that's in the contingency.

769
00:41:28,500 --> 00:41:34,467
If the contingency is increased then unassigned fund balance would decrease.

770
00:41:34,467 --> 00:41:38,500
If the contingency is lowered, then unassigned fund balance would increase.

771
00:41:38,533 --> 00:41:42,934
It's important to note that at this point, we are projecting that we would

772
00:41:42,967 --> 00:41:51,400
offset taxes by $1,714,362.49 during the budget season,

773
00:41:51,667 --> 00:41:56,533
we predicted that we would offset taxes by 1,350,000.

774
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,166
So as we look at these numbers, they are large.

775
00:41:59,166 --> 00:42:03,066
And if you know, if it was our own personal finances, they would be large.

776
00:42:03,066 --> 00:42:05,467
And they're still large then they're large here.

777
00:42:05,467 --> 00:42:09,266
And sometimes people say, well, you have a lot of fund balance left over.

778
00:42:09,266 --> 00:42:13,100
So whenever we move into large numbers, what I always like to do

779
00:42:13,100 --> 00:42:15,600
is also look at that as a percent as well.

780
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,467
So we know our budget is over $50 million.

781
00:42:18,467 --> 00:42:22,834
So if we have 1.7 million left over, we have less than

782
00:42:22,834 --> 00:42:28,133
4% of the budget remaining that would be used to offset taxes.

783
00:42:28,133 --> 00:42:31,200
So if we had our own family income

784
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:34,300
and we had 1.7 million left at the end of the year, we'd be excited.

785
00:42:34,300 --> 00:42:38,233
But if we had less than 4%, we'd be like, okay, we did a pretty good job.

786
00:42:38,266 --> 00:42:40,734
You know, we were within budget.

787
00:42:40,734 --> 00:42:43,400
We didn't spend every dollar just to spend every dollar type of thing.

788
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:48,133
So, you know, we what I do is I look at it as a percent as well.

789
00:42:48,166 --> 00:42:51,333
So that 1.71 million

790
00:42:52,634 --> 00:42:57,066
can go down by 24,000 or up by more.

791
00:42:57,066 --> 00:43:00,600
So as we look at the contingency fund, if we go down towards the bottom,

792
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:04,400
you can also see that we also have kind of a running balance

793
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:08,467
of the contingency fund, because we have that 1.731 million.

794
00:43:08,467 --> 00:43:09,867
But then the board has made

795
00:43:09,867 --> 00:43:13,900
some decisions due to age of equipment or failure of equipment

796
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,300
to purchase things.

797
00:43:16,300 --> 00:43:18,000
So that would be the middle school generator

798
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:19,800
which broke and could not be fixed.

799
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:24,100
That is Promethean Boards, which was a partial replacement

800
00:43:24,100 --> 00:43:28,033
as well as a plow and sending vehicle, which would it cost a lot to fix?

801
00:43:28,100 --> 00:43:28,533
Noah.

802
00:43:28,533 --> 00:43:34,000
And given that it was a 2012 model truck, decided to purchase it.

803
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:37,834
And then we had a placeholder for the Bartlett roof section replacement.

804
00:43:37,867 --> 00:43:43,367
So we have that 1.731 million in contingency fund,

805
00:43:43,367 --> 00:43:48,133
but our running balance is truly 1.15 million.

806
00:43:48,367 --> 00:43:52,166
So since the fiscal

807
00:43:52,166 --> 00:43:56,834
year 27, contingency kind of in a way occurs

808
00:43:56,900 --> 00:44:00,400
before any of these bills happened, we couldn't

809
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:04,400
bump up the contingency back to the 1.731.

810
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,667
We couldn't go well, we have 1.731.

811
00:44:07,667 --> 00:44:08,634
We spent money.

812
00:44:08,634 --> 00:44:09,800
Now let's bump it back up.

813
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:13,567
We can't bump it back up by that amount because we started

814
00:44:13,634 --> 00:44:16,900
towards the maximum amount of what the contingency is.

815
00:44:17,867 --> 00:44:19,133
So what

816
00:44:19,133 --> 00:44:22,934
the board can make a decision with tonight is do

817
00:44:22,934 --> 00:44:27,834
we want to move forward with the Bartlett roof section replacement.

818
00:44:27,834 --> 00:44:31,567
And do we want to bump up

819
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:35,467
the contingency to the maximum amount we're allowed,

820
00:44:35,700 --> 00:44:39,867
which is again up by $24,558.

821
00:44:39,900 --> 00:44:41,667
Knowing that even though we bump it up,

822
00:44:41,667 --> 00:44:44,834
we still have that running balance, which brings it back down.

823
00:44:44,834 --> 00:44:49,700
So this past year, we had a contingency of 1.731.

824
00:44:49,734 --> 00:44:52,100
This year our contingency will not be that high.

825
00:44:52,100 --> 00:44:57,800
But we also have a new generator, you know, a new truck

826
00:44:57,867 --> 00:45:02,634
and things like that, which is desperately needed for us to move through this year.

827
00:45:02,634 --> 00:45:06,233
So the Bartlett roof section, I don't.

828
00:45:06,834 --> 00:45:09,800
This is I'll be honest, I think we had a breakdown

829
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:13,834
of communication where we were trying to get to the board,

830
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:16,333
how emergent

831
00:45:16,333 --> 00:45:20,300
that was needed, and the timeline that it would take to complete it,

832
00:45:20,300 --> 00:45:23,934
because knowing that it would be partially, maybe on the weekend,

833
00:45:23,934 --> 00:45:26,934
but mainly during the school day.

834
00:45:27,100 --> 00:45:28,133
Whenever you're talking about

835
00:45:28,133 --> 00:45:30,500
redoing a roof here, you're talking about a lot of noise.

836
00:45:30,500 --> 00:45:33,433
So we got part of that information, which is that

837
00:45:33,433 --> 00:45:35,567
it should be able to be wrapped up in five days.

838
00:45:35,567 --> 00:45:40,066
But unless we have any new information for anybody else here, we did.

839
00:45:40,133 --> 00:45:44,500
We do not have information present on how desperately it is needed.

840
00:45:44,567 --> 00:45:48,300
Again, that's a breakdown on our part for communication, which I apologize for.

841
00:45:49,266 --> 00:45:52,667
Well, but we do know that this section of the roof has leaked

842
00:45:52,834 --> 00:45:56,100
repeatedly, storm after storm after storm.

843
00:45:56,100 --> 00:46:00,066
So every time it rains, we're having leaking issues.

844
00:46:00,066 --> 00:46:02,500
We're replacing ceiling tiles.

845
00:46:02,500 --> 00:46:07,333
So it is a you know, it's an old roof that's had a lot of issues.

846
00:46:07,333 --> 00:46:09,767
It's been repaired a lot of times.

847
00:46:09,767 --> 00:46:10,767
When I spoke to Mr.

848
00:46:10,767 --> 00:46:14,166
Loring, he was confident that the roof could be done within a week.

849
00:46:14,533 --> 00:46:17,233
So we felt pretty good about that.

850
00:46:17,233 --> 00:46:19,934
Obviously you'd have to time it with weather,

851
00:46:19,934 --> 00:46:23,000
but Randy was pretty confident that if we were going to move forward,

852
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,467
he could try to get it during like a vacation week or something like that.

853
00:46:26,467 --> 00:46:29,066
So that's what he would attempt to do.

854
00:46:32,433 --> 00:46:35,734
So whether we do it this year or we do it

855
00:46:35,734 --> 00:46:39,900
next year or the year after, we will continue to make repairs on it.

856
00:46:39,934 --> 00:46:42,934
They will continue to disrupt,

857
00:46:42,934 --> 00:46:46,233
disrupt the school, and eventually it's going to need to be done.

858
00:46:46,233 --> 00:46:50,900
So either I thought this one, the understanding I had dug was that

859
00:46:50,900 --> 00:46:55,000
this has repeatedly leaked over and over, and that this is that

860
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:58,066
there are really concerns that it hasn't been an air quality

861
00:46:58,100 --> 00:47:00,367
kind of thing, but we don't want it to be that.

862
00:47:00,367 --> 00:47:02,967
No. Yeah. So that's my understanding as well.

863
00:47:02,967 --> 00:47:04,734
I think what we were looking to get was

864
00:47:04,734 --> 00:47:08,066
has it caused any damage and how much damage does it cause.

865
00:47:08,133 --> 00:47:11,133
Type of when it leaks beyond

866
00:47:11,667 --> 00:47:14,100
say, replacing a ceiling tile type of thing.

867
00:47:14,100 --> 00:47:17,300
So with with that

868
00:47:17,433 --> 00:47:20,867
this is something that doesn't have to be decided tonight.

869
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:21,567
Either.

870
00:47:21,567 --> 00:47:25,300
All that has to be decided tonight is what amount

871
00:47:25,300 --> 00:47:27,867
you want to set the contingency act.

872
00:47:27,867 --> 00:47:34,133
Do you want to keep it the same as that one $1,731,296,

873
00:47:34,166 --> 00:47:39,033
or do you want to raise it to the maximum, which would be an additional 24,000,

874
00:47:39,066 --> 00:47:42,734
or do you want to lower it for different reasons?

875
00:47:43,066 --> 00:47:44,500
So those are kind of decisions.

876
00:47:44,500 --> 00:47:48,734
So that money, whether we whether the board votes to do the roof

877
00:47:48,734 --> 00:47:51,734
tonight or not, will not impact

878
00:47:51,734 --> 00:47:52,634
fund balance because

879
00:47:52,634 --> 00:47:56,467
it would either sit in the contingency or not set the contingency type of thing.

880
00:47:56,467 --> 00:47:59,667
So, or it either be part of the running balance that would decrease

881
00:47:59,667 --> 00:48:03,867
the contingency or that running balance wouldn't be as large.

882
00:48:03,900 --> 00:48:07,734
Therefore, the running balance would be a little bit larger in the contingency.

883
00:48:08,066 --> 00:48:11,066
Doug, I just want to make sure I'm doing my active listening.

884
00:48:11,300 --> 00:48:14,133
So we didn't encumber funds for the Bartlett

885
00:48:14,133 --> 00:48:17,200
roof at our retreat or at our last meeting.

886
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:20,500
I thought we did because we talked about this several times, but I thought

887
00:48:20,500 --> 00:48:23,500
we had voted to encumber funds to do this job.

888
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:24,533
We have.

889
00:48:24,533 --> 00:48:28,767
And so the funds are there as far as the running balance

890
00:48:28,767 --> 00:48:32,000
and the permission to move forward with it for the contingency fund.

891
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:36,266
But it was that last project that when we talked about it.

892
00:48:36,433 --> 00:48:38,333
So we encumbered in June.

893
00:48:38,333 --> 00:48:40,433
We talked about it in

894
00:48:42,066 --> 00:48:42,700
August.

895
00:48:42,700 --> 00:48:45,700
And what was decided in August was,

896
00:48:45,734 --> 00:48:46,567
do we really

897
00:48:46,567 --> 00:48:50,333
need to move forward with this year or because what's kind of the damage

898
00:48:50,333 --> 00:48:53,834
that's happening was what the board asked us to bring back information about.

899
00:48:53,900 --> 00:48:57,233
So we had like we pushed the decision

900
00:48:57,300 --> 00:49:00,400
more to this meeting where the board made

901
00:49:00,867 --> 00:49:04,967
several other decisions last time to unencumbered money.

902
00:49:04,967 --> 00:49:07,934
And part of those decisions, that unencumbered money is the reason

903
00:49:07,934 --> 00:49:14,900
why we're able to offset taxes so much going into next tax rate season.

904
00:49:15,734 --> 00:49:18,367
So this was a decision that got pushed to this meeting.

905
00:49:18,367 --> 00:49:22,133
And again, it doesn't have to even be decided at this meeting.

906
00:49:22,166 --> 00:49:26,400
The Doe 25 can be completed without a decision on this.

907
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:31,767
The tax rate can be completed without a decision on this because again

908
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:37,700
last year, the 1.73 1.73 million just stayed in the contingency fund

909
00:49:37,767 --> 00:49:41,834
the whole time and didn't get expensed, didn't move or anything like that.

910
00:49:41,834 --> 00:49:45,900
So that that, you know, contingency fund is in a way a separate fund

911
00:49:47,100 --> 00:49:47,934
than what

912
00:49:47,934 --> 00:49:51,266
could be considered unassigned fund balance as well.

913
00:49:51,734 --> 00:49:55,367
So I just want to make sure I understand, because this is two different

914
00:49:55,367 --> 00:49:59,667
fiscal years, I think in my head that we're talking about if we encumbered

915
00:49:59,700 --> 00:50:04,433
the Bartlett and all of these projects based on the FY 26

916
00:50:05,700 --> 00:50:08,667
fiscal year, which is now closed,

917
00:50:09,634 --> 00:50:11,967
this wouldn't have any impact on this

918
00:50:11,967 --> 00:50:15,467
year's contingency fund that we have.

919
00:50:16,133 --> 00:50:19,233
So that is a question I brought up with the auditors.

920
00:50:19,233 --> 00:50:23,834
And they said that you can only

921
00:50:24,834 --> 00:50:29,266
you can set the max contingency number, that 5%.

922
00:50:29,300 --> 00:50:33,200
And since nothing has been expense from that,

923
00:50:33,233 --> 00:50:37,033
you can't expect it, can't expense it and then reset that number.

924
00:50:37,233 --> 00:50:40,800
So because we haven't you set

925
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:44,967
the contingency fund at 5% going into fiscal year

926
00:50:44,967 --> 00:50:48,734
27, even though we know these projects are important.

927
00:50:48,734 --> 00:50:51,934
At that point nothing had been expensed.

928
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:56,233
So you set it at the max and now you have a running balance

929
00:50:56,233 --> 00:50:58,367
as soon as you start spending from it.

930
00:50:58,367 --> 00:51:02,734
So even though that we encumbered these costs in fiscal year

931
00:51:02,767 --> 00:51:05,934
FY 26, it's actually

932
00:51:05,967 --> 00:51:09,367
hitting our contingency in FY 27.

933
00:51:09,634 --> 00:51:11,533
So encumbered.

934
00:51:12,967 --> 00:51:14,166
Because encumbered it also

935
00:51:14,166 --> 00:51:18,200
means that it's money set aside to execute for that fiscal year.

936
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:21,634
But it doesn't sound like that's again

937
00:51:21,867 --> 00:51:25,667
explaining to me because I might be not understanding the process.

938
00:51:26,100 --> 00:51:30,300
No, it's you are understanding the process of encumbrance.

939
00:51:30,300 --> 00:51:34,300
But I think the contingency fund is slightly different.

940
00:51:34,934 --> 00:51:39,300
We the board has to encumber fiscal year $26

941
00:51:39,300 --> 00:51:42,300
in order to use them in fiscal year 27.

942
00:51:43,100 --> 00:51:46,567
The contingency fund, though, is something that lapses

943
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:50,533
years or continues throughout years with board approval.

944
00:51:50,533 --> 00:51:53,033
So there are slightly different.

945
00:51:53,033 --> 00:51:54,667
In that case, you can't.

946
00:51:54,667 --> 00:51:59,500
If the board made no decision on fiscal year $26 to encumber

947
00:51:59,500 --> 00:52:02,734
it, that would be used directly to offset taxes, pretty much

948
00:52:03,266 --> 00:52:05,934
where because it can't move forward, where a contingency

949
00:52:05,934 --> 00:52:09,600
fund can happen and be funded every year type of thing.

950
00:52:09,667 --> 00:52:13,634
So in some ways it does move forward with that same amount of money.

951
00:52:13,634 --> 00:52:16,033
So I brought up both those situations the same way.

952
00:52:16,033 --> 00:52:17,200
You're explaining it to me,

953
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:21,634
and the same way I'm explaining it as well to the auditors.

954
00:52:21,634 --> 00:52:24,767
And they said you have to go with what I now say.

955
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:26,700
So I was hoping we could also do that

956
00:52:26,700 --> 00:52:28,734
because I talked about it being encumbrance, and I talked

957
00:52:28,734 --> 00:52:32,734
about the dates of it being encumbrance, and why can't we push it back up?

958
00:52:32,834 --> 00:52:34,367
Because I wanted to see what our options are,

959
00:52:34,367 --> 00:52:36,100
because we always want to know what our options are.

960
00:52:36,100 --> 00:52:39,967
And the information I got was that you already maxed out

961
00:52:40,033 --> 00:52:42,867
the contingency, or came close to max and out the contingency.

962
00:52:42,867 --> 00:52:45,867
You can only bring it out by that 24,000,

963
00:52:46,133 --> 00:52:50,000
and that these expenses would have to draw down from there.

964
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:54,634
So draw down from FY 27 or FY 26.

965
00:52:54,867 --> 00:52:58,567
In away from FY 27. Yes.

966
00:52:59,700 --> 00:53:02,634
There is mud to me.

967
00:53:02,634 --> 00:53:05,600
Okay.

968
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:07,433
What questions do we have Adam.

969
00:53:07,433 --> 00:53:12,867
So in terms of the Bartlett roofer replacement are you looking for in.

970
00:53:12,867 --> 00:53:17,000
Order to move forward with this even though the money is encumbered,

971
00:53:17,266 --> 00:53:20,266
are you looking for another motion to move forward with it?

972
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:23,734
So we said that in August

973
00:53:23,734 --> 00:53:27,967
we'd come back depending on if the bill got vetoed or not.

974
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:31,433
We knew we were moving forward with the generator, but we said

975
00:53:31,433 --> 00:53:35,433
we'd come back with everything else for the board to give that final okay with.

976
00:53:35,467 --> 00:53:38,867
So yeah, it is that final okay that we're looking to move forward.

977
00:53:38,934 --> 00:53:44,367
The board in August came back with the final K for the Promethean

978
00:53:44,367 --> 00:53:48,100
Board's partial replacement, as well as the plow and sanding truck.

979
00:53:48,266 --> 00:53:51,400
So we are looking to uphold our part of what we said

980
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:54,767
we would do for the board and which is that final.

981
00:53:54,767 --> 00:53:56,200
Okay. Whether the board wants to move forward

982
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:58,900
with the Bartlett roof replacement and not.

983
00:53:59,967 --> 00:54:02,467
So the motion is not to encumber the funds.

984
00:54:02,467 --> 00:54:04,467
It's not. The. Ones are already encumbered.

985
00:54:04,467 --> 00:54:05,600
It's to whether.

986
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:08,600
It's execute execute. Yeah.

987
00:54:09,266 --> 00:54:11,700
I will say like I've made my stance

988
00:54:11,700 --> 00:54:14,700
on the contingency fund a couple of times now

989
00:54:15,467 --> 00:54:18,767
when water is coming in the building, every time it rains,

990
00:54:19,467 --> 00:54:22,266
that only gets worse every time it rains.

991
00:54:22,266 --> 00:54:24,533
And what starts as a simple roof repair

992
00:54:24,533 --> 00:54:27,533
quickly becomes a lot more than a simple roof repair.

993
00:54:27,767 --> 00:54:30,767
To me, this is why we have a contingency fund.

994
00:54:31,767 --> 00:54:34,767
I'm all for it.

995
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:36,867
Yeah, I would second what Adam said.

996
00:54:36,867 --> 00:54:41,066
I would hate to spend more money repairing the roof,

997
00:54:41,300 --> 00:54:43,900
pulling for us to replace it in a year or two.

998
00:54:43,900 --> 00:54:46,900
So to me, it seems like we'd be spending a lot of money

999
00:54:46,900 --> 00:54:51,066
to kind of patch holes and then, you know, we'd be spending.

1000
00:54:51,367 --> 00:54:53,133
Likely. More than. The 110.

1001
00:54:53,133 --> 00:54:54,533
Thousand in a couple of years.

1002
00:54:54,533 --> 00:54:57,900
So I'd be in favor of the roof replacement.

1003
00:54:57,900 --> 00:55:00,200
Also. Jack, I.

1004
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:01,400
I would.

1005
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:04,400
Echo those things, and I also think that there's no

1006
00:55:05,767 --> 00:55:07,533
reliable way to go.

1007
00:55:07,533 --> 00:55:11,300
This is how much damage to leaking roof is costing until you rip the roof

1008
00:55:11,300 --> 00:55:14,533
up and go, oh crap, it's worse than we thought.

1009
00:55:14,533 --> 00:55:17,500
So waiting is only going to make it worse.

1010
00:55:17,500 --> 00:55:19,500
Cost more money.

1011
00:55:19,500 --> 00:55:20,634
We have the funds.

1012
00:55:20,634 --> 00:55:23,700
Whether we feel we need to pitch 25,000

1013
00:55:23,734 --> 00:55:27,767
more in there, or 24 or 558, that's something else.

1014
00:55:27,767 --> 00:55:33,300
But I would say let's get the roof done before replacing sealed ceiling tiles.

1015
00:55:33,300 --> 00:55:36,166
That all comes out of cost.

1016
00:55:36,166 --> 00:55:36,900
Yes, I agree.

1017
00:55:36,900 --> 00:55:39,700
I was just curious because I know it's just a partial replacement

1018
00:55:39,700 --> 00:55:41,934
like this is just a repair that we're talking about.

1019
00:55:41,934 --> 00:55:44,500
So I don't know how old the roof is or where is it

1020
00:55:44,500 --> 00:55:47,233
in the CIP for a total replacement and all of that.

1021
00:55:47,233 --> 00:55:49,300
The different sections are in CIP.

1022
00:55:49,300 --> 00:55:52,834
So we we do all the roofs we tend to do in sections

1023
00:55:52,834 --> 00:55:56,867
because doing an entire it just cost prohibitive.

1024
00:55:57,066 --> 00:55:58,333
So we do it in sections.

1025
00:55:58,333 --> 00:56:01,000
This is a section over the oldest part of the building.

1026
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:03,600
It's the part that's in the sort of

1027
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:07,967
in the back of the school, on the side of where the playground is.

1028
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:10,734
Okay. So that. Old process to do a piece by piece.

1029
00:56:10,734 --> 00:56:11,533
Yes. Okay.

1030
00:56:11,533 --> 00:56:15,200
And in fact, we've done some of the other sections over the years.

1031
00:56:15,834 --> 00:56:16,333
Yeah.

1032
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:21,634
I have no problem.

1033
00:56:21,634 --> 00:56:24,266
And I'm not going everything that everybody else said

1034
00:56:24,266 --> 00:56:27,300
for the roof replacement, I have no problem with somebody making

1035
00:56:27,300 --> 00:56:31,700
a motion to execute using the funds for the roof repair today.

1036
00:56:32,233 --> 00:56:33,700
Because we've talked about a couple

1037
00:56:33,700 --> 00:56:35,900
of meetings, I think we know it needs to be done.

1038
00:56:35,900 --> 00:56:37,734
The sooner we make the motion to get moving.

1039
00:56:37,734 --> 00:56:38,867
I would

1040
00:56:38,867 --> 00:56:42,767
welcome somebody to make that motion so that we can get moving on that Jack.

1041
00:56:42,900 --> 00:56:47,233
I will make a motion that we vote to execute

1042
00:56:47,867 --> 00:56:52,700
the roof repair at Bartlett School for $110,000.

1043
00:56:53,634 --> 00:56:55,100
To come from the contingency.

1044
00:56:55,100 --> 00:56:56,300
From the contingency fund.

1045
00:56:56,300 --> 00:56:58,266
Motion made by Jack, seconded by Dan.

1046
00:56:58,266 --> 00:57:01,266
Any further questions or comments?

1047
00:57:02,367 --> 00:57:04,433
I have a motion seconded.

1048
00:57:04,433 --> 00:57:05,900
No questions or comments.

1049
00:57:05,900 --> 00:57:09,800
All those in favor of executing the Bartlett

1050
00:57:09,867 --> 00:57:13,900
Roof Repair section 410,000 from the unassigned

1051
00:57:13,934 --> 00:57:19,367
fund balance signify by saying I, I and he opposed any abstentions.

1052
00:57:19,433 --> 00:57:21,400
We are unanimous.

1053
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:23,433
So I know that's not what you asked for, Doug,

1054
00:57:25,266 --> 00:57:27,100
but. The final part

1055
00:57:27,100 --> 00:57:30,100
would be that contingency fund vote.

1056
00:57:30,133 --> 00:57:33,634
So my recommendation, because we're offsetting taxes

1057
00:57:33,634 --> 00:57:37,333
by more than we projected and we're and we're talking about going up by

1058
00:57:37,467 --> 00:57:41,800
$24,558 would be to go up by that amount.

1059
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:46,867
And the contingency fund max it out, knowing that we are spending

1060
00:57:47,100 --> 00:57:51,066
a decent amount of that and that our running balance is truly lower.

1061
00:57:51,100 --> 00:57:55,266
So that is where that handwritten number is on your sheet.

1062
00:57:55,333 --> 00:58:00,066
Of that 1,755,000 854,000.

1063
00:58:00,100 --> 00:58:04,600
So tonight is kind of that last night to make a decision on whether you're

1064
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:09,233
keeping the contingency fund the same, increasing it by that 24,000

1065
00:58:09,266 --> 00:58:10,834
or if the board wanted to,

1066
00:58:10,834 --> 00:58:14,066
which I would not recommend lowering it at that point as well.

1067
00:58:14,066 --> 00:58:18,734
And that's again the maximum number, not necessarily the running balance of it.

1068
00:58:19,333 --> 00:58:22,000
Okay, Dan, I saw you hand up first.

1069
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:24,333
Just would like to make a motion. Motion.

1070
00:58:24,333 --> 00:58:26,634
Go ahead. Make a motion to increase the.

1071
00:58:26,634 --> 00:58:27,700
Contingency fund balance.

1072
00:58:27,700 --> 00:58:30,867
By 24,000 $558,000 for grand

1073
00:58:30,867 --> 00:58:35,500
total of $1,755,854.

1074
00:58:35,634 --> 00:58:39,033
Okay, I have a motion by Dan for the increased amount.

1075
00:58:39,066 --> 00:58:41,066
Do I have? Does Dan have a second?

1076
00:58:42,300 --> 00:58:43,500
I'll second Jack.

1077
00:58:43,500 --> 00:58:44,066
Seconded.

1078
00:58:44,066 --> 00:58:48,700
So we can have discussions about the broader conversation.

1079
00:58:48,734 --> 00:58:51,800
But the motion is for the maximum amount allowed.

1080
00:58:52,066 --> 00:58:55,033
So I'll open up to what questions we have.

1081
00:58:57,967 --> 00:59:01,200
So I just want to clarify that when we say maximum amount allowed,

1082
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:06,400
that is a maximum that the voters have agreed to previously.

1083
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:08,300
That's where that. That is correct.

1084
00:59:08,300 --> 00:59:10,734
The voters have agreed two different times.

1085
00:59:10,734 --> 00:59:15,634
At first when contingency fund was brought up, the maximum amount allowed was 2.5%.

1086
00:59:15,667 --> 00:59:16,634
They voted for that.

1087
00:59:16,634 --> 00:59:20,634
And when the when the amount was allowed to go up to 5%, the voters

1088
00:59:20,634 --> 00:59:25,667
then also voted to allow Goffstown to retain up to 5%.

1089
00:59:25,867 --> 00:59:29,133
So any taxpayer at that time could vote.

1090
00:59:29,433 --> 00:59:33,700
In any expenditures that would come out of that would come before the board.

1091
00:59:33,900 --> 00:59:35,266
Further. They would have.

1092
00:59:35,266 --> 00:59:37,200
Regardless of amount. Yes.

1093
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:42,100
With a public hearing, which we had in June for this.

1094
00:59:42,133 --> 00:59:42,734
Right? Yeah.

1095
00:59:44,500 --> 00:59:46,300
Okay.

1096
00:59:46,300 --> 00:59:49,734
A follow up question, Adam, are you good for this for now? No.

1097
00:59:50,734 --> 00:59:52,834
That's my.

1098
00:59:52,834 --> 00:59:55,800
I know you're going to go into a comment. So.

1099
00:59:57,767 --> 01:00:00,767
Any other questions for what's before us?

1100
01:00:00,867 --> 01:00:01,400
Okay.

1101
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:04,233
So we'll switch over to comments. Adam.

1102
01:00:04,233 --> 01:00:10,333
And as much as I think we need to be cautious on how we use the contingency

1103
01:00:10,367 --> 01:00:14,266
fund because, you know, we have put it before the town and the voters have agreed

1104
01:00:14,300 --> 01:00:20,133
to 5% raising it up to that is reasonable to me.

1105
01:00:20,133 --> 01:00:22,734
The voters have have made their stance on that one.

1106
01:00:22,734 --> 01:00:27,834
And so I you know, that's within reason to me.

1107
01:00:27,867 --> 01:00:32,500
I just think we need to be careful in how we spend that money.

1108
01:00:33,467 --> 01:00:37,200
Then just to piggyback off that, my intention

1109
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:41,600
raising it to the maximum amount is to absorb as much as we can

1110
01:00:41,767 --> 01:00:44,667
of emergencies that come up through the contingency fund

1111
01:00:44,667 --> 01:00:47,900
so that we're not going back to the taxpayers when something comes up.

1112
01:00:47,900 --> 01:00:51,800
So having that money aside is really about protecting them.

1113
01:00:52,300 --> 01:00:55,300
When things do come up, 24,000 might not sound a lot

1114
01:00:55,300 --> 01:00:59,533
when you when you boil it down to a to a tax impact to a home.

1115
01:00:59,533 --> 01:01:00,667
But as we have seen,

1116
01:01:00,667 --> 01:01:02,900
there are a number of things that wouldn't even cover

1117
01:01:02,900 --> 01:01:05,166
the Promethean board replacements that we had talked about. Right.

1118
01:01:05,166 --> 01:01:06,800
So but having that money aside does help

1119
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:09,000
protect the taxpayer, which is the intent there.

1120
01:01:11,834 --> 01:01:13,166
I just want to make sure I understand that.

1121
01:01:13,166 --> 01:01:13,433
Correct.

1122
01:01:13,433 --> 01:01:16,834
So if we do this though, it's part of the unassigned fund balance.

1123
01:01:16,834 --> 01:01:19,400
If something were to come up, we'd have the public hearing.

1124
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:20,834
If that didn't pass, it would go

1125
01:01:20,834 --> 01:01:24,700
still in the contingency fund, which would be to offset taxes.

1126
01:01:24,734 --> 01:01:26,233
At the end of the year.

1127
01:01:26,233 --> 01:01:29,233
Correct?

1128
01:01:29,533 --> 01:01:32,533
Other comments.

1129
01:01:33,133 --> 01:01:34,700
So my comment

1130
01:01:34,700 --> 01:01:37,700
simply is I agree that we should keep a contingency fund.

1131
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:41,166
I know the statute says we can go up to 5%.

1132
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:45,233
I think the number that we set forward initially is fine,

1133
01:01:46,433 --> 01:01:51,567
and increasing it constantly allows us to potentially use it, which I know

1134
01:01:51,567 --> 01:01:56,200
that we are very, very diligent not to do and we only use it sparingly,

1135
01:01:57,467 --> 01:02:00,133
though I do agree that it should be close to the 5%,

1136
01:02:00,133 --> 01:02:02,100
I'm going to stick with the same number.

1137
01:02:02,100 --> 01:02:03,133
I'll be voting no.

1138
01:02:03,133 --> 01:02:06,533
Just I know it's 24 grand is a difference,

1139
01:02:06,533 --> 01:02:08,467
but it's just that we put a line in the sand

1140
01:02:08,467 --> 01:02:10,767
and I like to keep the line in the sand that we initially had.

1141
01:02:10,767 --> 01:02:12,600
So that's why I'll be voting no on this.

1142
01:02:14,467 --> 01:02:17,233
Other comments

1143
01:02:17,233 --> 01:02:18,433
okay.

1144
01:02:18,433 --> 01:02:21,433
Well wait wait for Jack.

1145
01:02:21,500 --> 01:02:22,533
We'll be going.

1146
01:02:22,533 --> 01:02:27,700
So we have a motion for maintaining a unassigned or contingency

1147
01:02:27,767 --> 01:02:36,300
fund of $1,755,854 for the fiscal year 27.

1148
01:02:36,433 --> 01:02:37,667
It's been motion seconded.

1149
01:02:37,667 --> 01:02:39,467
We've had robust conversation.

1150
01:02:39,467 --> 01:02:42,967
All those in favor of increasing the contingency

1151
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:46,000
fund to that number signify by saying I

1152
01:02:46,100 --> 01:02:49,634
any opposed, nay, any abstentions.

1153
01:02:49,900 --> 01:02:52,000
So there's one on position.

1154
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:54,934
Motion passes.

1155
01:02:54,934 --> 01:02:55,400
Okay.

1156
01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:59,667
And then lastly for the finance reports I see an annual board authorization.

1157
01:03:00,100 --> 01:03:01,266
Doug. Yeah.

1158
01:03:01,266 --> 01:03:07,100
So we work with a lot of vendors, some vendors, you know, have a 40 day

1159
01:03:07,133 --> 01:03:10,100
turnaround for when they expect payments and vendors have a ten day.

1160
01:03:10,100 --> 01:03:14,300
Some vendors don't give us the invoice as quickly as we would like.

1161
01:03:14,300 --> 01:03:18,133
So every year for the last several years, the board has authorized

1162
01:03:18,133 --> 01:03:21,967
the business administrator to process accounts payable and payroll

1163
01:03:21,967 --> 01:03:25,166
out of sequence checks for that fiscal year, and knowing

1164
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:26,800
that these types of payments will be included

1165
01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:30,066
in the subsequent school board manifest, which is subject to review.

1166
01:03:30,066 --> 01:03:36,033
So this is just that typical motion that has been used for several years now.

1167
01:03:36,233 --> 01:03:38,900
And this is the duration for the full year. Correct.

1168
01:03:38,900 --> 01:03:41,700
Okay. Any questions for Doug on this

1169
01:03:42,734 --> 01:03:43,066
okay.

1170
01:03:43,066 --> 01:03:44,467
Who would like to make this motion.

1171
01:03:44,467 --> 01:03:46,700
I will make a motion to authorize.

1172
01:03:46,700 --> 01:03:49,066
The business administrator to issue a sequence

1173
01:03:49,066 --> 01:03:52,567
payments for the remainder of the year.

1174
01:03:53,467 --> 01:03:56,433
I seen seconded by Adam.

1175
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:59,433
Any further questions or comments?

1176
01:03:59,433 --> 01:04:00,500
Seeing none, we'll call the roll.

1177
01:04:00,500 --> 01:04:03,467
All those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye.

1178
01:04:03,533 --> 01:04:04,934
Any opposed?

1179
01:04:04,934 --> 01:04:07,967
Any abstentions? We are unanimous.

1180
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:10,700
So, chair, I do have one more thing which made the packet

1181
01:04:10,700 --> 01:04:14,700
as far as the dates, but didn't make the agenda.

1182
01:04:14,734 --> 01:04:18,200
Is this for information or for vote?

1183
01:04:18,433 --> 01:04:19,467
This.

1184
01:04:19,467 --> 01:04:22,667
So information and a change will be needed.

1185
01:04:22,900 --> 01:04:25,533
But that change doesn't have to be decided tonight.

1186
01:04:25,533 --> 01:04:26,200
Okay.

1187
01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:29,533
So this is in regards to the budget calendar.

1188
01:04:29,634 --> 01:04:33,800
Last time we talked about the fact that the Budget Committee was moving their

1189
01:04:34,367 --> 01:04:37,033
deliberations back to December, the board decided

1190
01:04:37,033 --> 01:04:40,400
to move their workshop meetings to November.

1191
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:44,133
And at that point they chose November 16th and 18th.

1192
01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:49,033
November 18th is a new Boston, and it was a new Boston school board meeting.

1193
01:04:49,033 --> 01:04:53,066
We met with New Boston and we said, hey, you know, we now have two meetings

1194
01:04:53,066 --> 01:04:53,767
this day.

1195
01:04:55,100 --> 01:04:55,934
Honestly, we told

1196
01:04:55,934 --> 01:04:59,600
Boston you guys were first type of thing, and we talked with New Boston,

1197
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:01,367
whether they could switch up their meeting.

1198
01:05:01,367 --> 01:05:04,500
It wasn't necessarily possible for them to switch up their meeting.

1199
01:05:04,500 --> 01:05:06,634
So they are on November 18th.

1200
01:05:06,634 --> 01:05:09,800
So the only way for us to fulfill us

1201
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:13,667
coming here on November 18th as well would be if we divided and concord,

1202
01:05:13,667 --> 01:05:19,033
which is not typically the direction we want to go in, we prefer to have,

1203
01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:22,333
you know, the majority of us at each place.

1204
01:05:22,333 --> 01:05:24,700
So we would be looking for the board.

1205
01:05:24,700 --> 01:05:29,867
And again, it doesn't have to be tonight to move their 18th meeting

1206
01:05:30,100 --> 01:05:33,533
to, you know, if they I don't know which date you want to keep it.

1207
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:36,800
If you want to keep the same week 17th or 19th or.

1208
01:05:42,033 --> 01:05:42,767
I know that

1209
01:05:42,767 --> 01:05:45,767
for everybody bring up the calendars.

1210
01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:50,500
So we'd be looking at having our regular school board meeting on the 16th.

1211
01:05:50,500 --> 01:05:53,500
And it was proposed the 18th.

1212
01:05:54,533 --> 01:05:58,533
The following weekend is Thanksgiving, I believe,

1213
01:05:58,567 --> 01:06:01,634
so that would be bad doing that on a Wednesday.

1214
01:06:04,166 --> 01:06:07,166
I would ask the board, how do they feel

1215
01:06:07,166 --> 01:06:11,967
about our first kickoff being on the 11th, which would be the week before?

1216
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:15,000
That's that's Veterans Day.

1217
01:06:21,467 --> 01:06:24,433
Or the ninth,

1218
01:06:24,433 --> 01:06:25,433
ninth and 16th.

1219
01:06:25,433 --> 01:06:28,433
So the ninth would potentially be a.

1220
01:06:30,467 --> 01:06:30,667
Change.

1221
01:06:30,667 --> 01:06:33,667
It could move. Move.

1222
01:06:33,967 --> 01:06:36,967
I got policy.

1223
01:06:37,367 --> 01:06:38,200
Shane will skip it.

1224
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:39,567
Never mind I flights never.

1225
01:06:39,567 --> 01:06:42,567
No no balls either.

1226
01:06:42,967 --> 01:06:44,400
No but how does the board feel.

1227
01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:47,934
So we have a regularly scheduled board meeting for the 16th

1228
01:06:47,934 --> 01:06:51,133
though it would be shortened for budget reviews.

1229
01:06:51,367 --> 01:06:55,700
But how do we feel about potentially doing November 9th?

1230
01:06:57,867 --> 01:06:58,867
Which would be the Monday before?

1231
01:06:58,867 --> 01:07:01,867
So we'd have a board meeting November 2nd.

1232
01:07:02,834 --> 01:07:05,834
Voting day is November 3rd.

1233
01:07:06,033 --> 01:07:09,233
The following Monday would be budget review.

1234
01:07:09,233 --> 01:07:13,500
That's where we'd start off, and then we would finish up on anything

1235
01:07:13,500 --> 01:07:16,500
for budget related on the 16th.

1236
01:07:16,967 --> 01:07:18,567
I would just be unable to do the ninth.

1237
01:07:18,567 --> 01:07:21,567
But if most of the people can do it, then.

1238
01:07:22,867 --> 01:07:23,600
What do you think, Mr.

1239
01:07:23,600 --> 01:07:25,200
Totten?

1240
01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:26,166
I think that's good.

1241
01:07:26,166 --> 01:07:29,400
I always like having several days in between the meeting.

1242
01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:31,400
That way the board, if they have any questions for me,

1243
01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:35,133
they can get them to me and I can be prepared, better prepared to answer them,

1244
01:07:35,133 --> 01:07:37,266
or we can all be better prepared to answer them.

1245
01:07:37,266 --> 01:07:39,433
So if they met on the ninth and then had more questions,

1246
01:07:39,433 --> 01:07:41,166
then we'd be even more prepared.

1247
01:07:41,166 --> 01:07:42,333
Wendy. We.

1248
01:07:42,333 --> 01:07:47,767
Do have and scheduled for that evening, but we do have CNE next Monday night,

1249
01:07:47,767 --> 01:07:51,734
so I could speak with the committee about changing our meeting date

1250
01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:54,767
to be able to have the whole board together,

1251
01:07:54,767 --> 01:07:59,734
which I'm sure that I don't want to speak on behalf of, of everybody from CNE,

1252
01:07:59,734 --> 01:08:03,100
but I believe that would be easier to have a smaller portion of the board

1253
01:08:03,133 --> 01:08:04,634
available for that meeting.

1254
01:08:07,066 --> 01:08:09,934
The other for the meeting on the 16th.

1255
01:08:09,934 --> 01:08:14,900
Are we starting at 6 or 7, 6:00 or 7:00 for the 16th.

1256
01:08:16,133 --> 01:08:18,300
To the board?

1257
01:08:18,300 --> 01:08:20,333
What do we have. At seven.

1258
01:08:20,333 --> 01:08:21,133
Seven.

1259
01:08:21,133 --> 01:08:24,033
Seven, seven.

1260
01:08:24,033 --> 01:08:24,634
Right now?

1261
01:08:24,634 --> 01:08:27,166
Seven on the six.

1262
01:08:27,166 --> 01:08:30,834
And the reason why I say this is, I know that I think the past two years

1263
01:08:30,834 --> 01:08:32,367
we've been very prepared,

1264
01:08:32,367 --> 01:08:35,700
very diligent looking at the budgets and every line item beforehand.

1265
01:08:35,767 --> 01:08:39,033
We've been able to usually knock it out within one meeting.

1266
01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:42,634
But that might be a long day for for people.

1267
01:08:42,634 --> 01:08:45,634
But I again, I'm

1268
01:08:46,233 --> 01:08:49,233
I'm good with whatever the board wants to do.

1269
01:08:49,333 --> 01:08:52,300
If we want to start on the ninth and then finish on the 16th,

1270
01:08:52,300 --> 01:08:54,967
or if we just want to shoot for the 16th, knowing

1271
01:08:54,967 --> 01:08:57,567
that it's going to be a shortened school board meeting.

1272
01:08:57,567 --> 01:08:58,700
But a majority of it

1273
01:08:58,700 --> 01:09:02,433
will also be on budget and hopefully start at 6:00 on that Monday.

1274
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:05,000
We don't need a

1275
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:08,867
decision today, but unless if somebody wants to.

1276
01:09:09,100 --> 01:09:11,667
I like the 99th and 16th. Yeah.

1277
01:09:11,667 --> 01:09:12,533
That's better for me.

1278
01:09:12,533 --> 01:09:15,533
The Budget Committee, 17th and 19th until

1279
01:09:16,900 --> 01:09:17,834
fantastic.

1280
01:09:17,834 --> 01:09:20,834
Busy week for you, Jack.

1281
01:09:22,033 --> 01:09:22,934
I think it's better.

1282
01:09:22,934 --> 01:09:25,734
17, 19, 24th. Yeah.

1283
01:09:25,734 --> 01:09:28,667
They're all in there. What are you.

1284
01:09:28,667 --> 01:09:31,400
I like two meetings.

1285
01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:34,600
I was just going to say it's better if we're going to add a meeting.

1286
01:09:34,700 --> 01:09:38,433
It's better to get it on our calendar sooner than later because

1287
01:09:38,467 --> 01:09:40,433
then we're going to lose more people.

1288
01:09:40,433 --> 01:09:44,467
So if we're looking at the ninth, I'd rather make a decision.

1289
01:09:45,734 --> 01:09:46,700
Is that.

1290
01:09:46,700 --> 01:09:49,700
That's a hard.

1291
01:09:50,166 --> 01:09:52,033
Okay with New Boston too, right?

1292
01:09:52,033 --> 01:09:54,667
No, not for. The night. We'd be good with New Boston.

1293
01:09:54,667 --> 01:09:56,567
Yeah. Well,

1294
01:09:56,567 --> 01:09:57,166
okay.

1295
01:09:57,166 --> 01:09:59,734
So the ninth and 16th will be.

1296
01:10:01,734 --> 01:10:02,967
Great, but the second.

1297
01:10:02,967 --> 01:10:05,367
Will be. Yes.

1298
01:10:05,367 --> 01:10:07,634
But you're always welcome to come this field.

1299
01:10:07,634 --> 01:10:09,934
Until all of it. And.

1300
01:10:09,934 --> 01:10:12,934
Interject and ask questions.

1301
01:10:13,433 --> 01:10:16,166
Nothing wrong with the questions that better asked.

1302
01:10:16,166 --> 01:10:16,433
Okay.

1303
01:10:16,433 --> 01:10:21,400
So tentatively let's let's put down November 9th and then November 16th,

1304
01:10:22,266 --> 01:10:26,567
both starting at 6:00 including on the night people

1305
01:10:26,567 --> 01:10:30,400
okay with that or they need to starting at seven on the ninth.

1306
01:10:32,967 --> 01:10:35,000
Anything to make sure we finish the same day.

1307
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:38,000
We start 6:00 6:00. Okay.

1308
01:10:38,133 --> 01:10:39,700
Well let's push our luck.

1309
01:10:39,700 --> 01:10:43,100
How about 550.

1310
01:10:43,233 --> 01:10:43,767
Five zero?

1311
01:10:43,767 --> 01:10:46,367
Any of you work

1312
01:10:46,367 --> 01:10:47,233
six? It is. Yeah.

1313
01:10:47,233 --> 01:10:48,500
My my school board stuff.

1314
01:10:48,500 --> 01:10:51,500
It doesn't cover.

1315
01:10:52,333 --> 01:10:54,934
To be clear, you don't get a school bus stop.

1316
01:10:54,934 --> 01:10:59,166
You just want the people at home to be clear on that.

1317
01:11:00,266 --> 01:11:01,834
So we'll be looking at November 9th

1318
01:11:01,834 --> 01:11:05,767
and November 16th will be the school board workshop meetings for the budget.

1319
01:11:05,767 --> 01:11:09,734
There will be a shortened an abbreviated school board regular agenda

1320
01:11:09,734 --> 01:11:14,166
for November 16th on both meetings to start at 6 p.m..

1321
01:11:14,834 --> 01:11:16,934
Can we get updated calendar invites?

1322
01:11:16,934 --> 01:11:19,533
Linda will be sending them out.

1323
01:11:19,533 --> 01:11:22,000
Thank you, Mr. Science.

1324
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:24,066
That was very lovely of you to do.

1325
01:11:24,066 --> 01:11:25,834
Yes, it was.

1326
01:11:25,834 --> 01:11:27,100
Very helpful.

1327
01:11:27,100 --> 01:11:29,300
Mr. ton, is that the final piece for.

1328
01:11:29,300 --> 01:11:30,867
That is the final piece. Thank you.

1329
01:11:30,867 --> 01:11:32,433
Are you sure, Mr. Todd?

1330
01:11:32,433 --> 01:11:33,734
This is shorter than last.

1331
01:11:33,734 --> 01:11:36,567
This is where the last good.

1332
01:11:36,567 --> 01:11:38,567
Shaving off like 20 minutes of meeting I.

1333
01:11:38,567 --> 01:11:40,133
That is good.

1334
01:11:40,133 --> 01:11:42,767
So budget Committee, I'll start with the budget committee report.

1335
01:11:42,767 --> 01:11:45,834
There was an initial meeting that was done, a joint meeting

1336
01:11:45,834 --> 01:11:49,600
between the Budget committee and the select board to look over

1337
01:11:49,834 --> 01:11:53,100
the fiscal needs of mostly the town.

1338
01:11:53,467 --> 01:11:58,333
So that was a great session of both boards coming together to talk about

1339
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:00,700
some of the priorities that are occurring

1340
01:12:00,700 --> 01:12:03,700
and some of the discussions that have occurred in the past.

1341
01:12:04,033 --> 01:12:06,767
So that was attended by the school

1342
01:12:06,767 --> 01:12:09,834
board, reps and decent meeting.

1343
01:12:09,867 --> 01:12:11,800
Jack, I know has a calendar.

1344
01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:13,700
Jack I'll turn it over to you for upcoming meetings.

1345
01:12:13,700 --> 01:12:15,967
Sounds like they're already in the calendar of activities.

1346
01:12:15,967 --> 01:12:18,133
Yeah. They're in the calendar.

1347
01:12:21,433 --> 01:12:24,567
The next budget one is September.

1348
01:12:26,533 --> 01:12:30,100
Highs are getting worse September 22nd in 29th.

1349
01:12:30,100 --> 01:12:33,533
And that'll be to hear about the fire on the 22nd.

1350
01:12:33,533 --> 01:12:38,033
We'll hear about fire department needs and budget concerns for that.

1351
01:12:38,734 --> 01:12:41,734
And then we'll go on to other

1352
01:12:42,166 --> 01:12:44,967
info about the default budgets

1353
01:12:44,967 --> 01:12:47,967
on the 29th of September.

1354
01:12:48,767 --> 01:12:52,400
And those are right here in case anyone wants to come see.

1355
01:12:53,166 --> 01:12:55,166
Thank you. Jack

1356
01:12:55,166 --> 01:12:57,467
a sip. Dan.

1357
01:12:57,467 --> 01:12:59,266
Yes, I had the pleasure.

1358
01:12:59,266 --> 01:13:01,000
Of presenting to.

1359
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:03,600
The planning board

1360
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:04,700
most. Of the.

1361
01:13:04,700 --> 01:13:07,133
So if you if you imagine the meeting.

1362
01:13:07,133 --> 01:13:07,634
Let's say.

1363
01:13:07,634 --> 01:13:09,700
There were eight questions before I started.

1364
01:13:09,700 --> 01:13:12,100
So that was the last one second last to go.

1365
01:13:12,100 --> 01:13:13,567
So I expected. Eight or.

1366
01:13:13,567 --> 01:13:15,533
Less questions like 25.

1367
01:13:15,533 --> 01:13:17,300
So it was really a lot of fun.

1368
01:13:17,300 --> 01:13:20,734
If you want to see me ever sweat, just pull that video right out.

1369
01:13:20,767 --> 01:13:21,900
You have a great time.

1370
01:13:22,867 --> 01:13:25,133
Most of the commentary

1371
01:13:25,133 --> 01:13:28,734
focused on questions are on how many computers are in a

1372
01:13:28,767 --> 01:13:32,467
are in a kit, you know, what were the cost increases there?

1373
01:13:32,867 --> 01:13:36,767
There was some commentary around how there's so much weight on a bond

1374
01:13:36,767 --> 01:13:40,066
proposal a few years out, and then questions

1375
01:13:40,066 --> 01:13:43,066
around the Norman Road

1376
01:13:43,300 --> 01:13:44,100
review that was in there.

1377
01:13:44,100 --> 01:13:45,567
That was because there was two lines for it.

1378
01:13:45,567 --> 01:13:48,700
There were questions about the one on one for the devices.

1379
01:13:48,700 --> 01:13:53,467
And so for those of you who have not experienced CIP,

1380
01:13:54,166 --> 01:13:56,567
their primary focus apparently

1381
01:13:56,567 --> 01:13:59,567
over the last 10 or 15 years has been this year

1382
01:13:59,567 --> 01:14:02,700
or next year, not necessarily a few years out, a few years out.

1383
01:14:02,700 --> 01:14:06,734
It's kind of really written pencil chalk, like definitely not pen.

1384
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:11,033
And so there's there's not like a huge focus on what's going to happen in those.

1385
01:14:11,033 --> 01:14:15,934
But a lot of the a few of the individuals on the planning board didn't know that.

1386
01:14:15,934 --> 01:14:19,033
So there was a lot of intense questions about things four years out.

1387
01:14:19,033 --> 01:14:21,066
And the answer was, you know,

1388
01:14:21,066 --> 01:14:24,166
we'll let you know in 2 or 3 years when we get a little bit closer.

1389
01:14:24,166 --> 01:14:26,100
So overall it went fine.

1390
01:14:26,100 --> 01:14:27,734
The packet did pass.

1391
01:14:27,734 --> 01:14:30,467
Overall I think 5 to 3.

1392
01:14:32,100 --> 01:14:34,767
So yeah, that's about it.

1393
01:14:34,767 --> 01:14:37,767
Any questions for Dan.

1394
01:14:38,133 --> 01:14:38,734
Moving on.

1395
01:14:38,734 --> 01:14:42,967
We'll be talking about the next Goffstown school board meeting under new business.

1396
01:14:43,233 --> 01:14:46,233
So we'll move on to A and F.

1397
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:51,367
And Mr..

1398
01:14:52,934 --> 01:14:53,967
Next meeting.

1399
01:14:53,967 --> 01:14:56,900
Next meeting is before our next meeting.

1400
01:14:56,900 --> 01:14:57,433
Yeah that's.

1401
01:14:57,433 --> 01:14:59,400
Right which. Is well said.

1402
01:14:59,400 --> 01:15:00,734
October 5th. Yeah.

1403
01:15:00,734 --> 01:15:03,734
There you go. Thank you. Yeah.

1404
01:15:03,734 --> 01:15:06,734
Great PNC. Park

1405
01:15:07,567 --> 01:15:08,333
you're. Right.

1406
01:15:08,333 --> 01:15:10,200
I went right. I checked it off. See you.

1407
01:15:10,200 --> 01:15:11,634
Thank you. Jenny.

1408
01:15:11,634 --> 01:15:13,767
We have. Not met since our last meeting.

1409
01:15:13,767 --> 01:15:15,967
And our next meeting will be.

1410
01:15:15,967 --> 01:15:18,934
September 21st at 7 p.m.

1411
01:15:18,934 --> 01:15:20,667
at the office.

1412
01:15:20,667 --> 01:15:25,100
And we will be discussing Gage's new courses.

1413
01:15:26,033 --> 01:15:27,567
Great. Thank you.

1414
01:15:27,567 --> 01:15:28,734
Okay. Now PNC.

1415
01:15:28,734 --> 01:15:29,634
Now PNC.

1416
01:15:29,634 --> 01:15:32,600
So PNC met this evening,

1417
01:15:32,967 --> 01:15:36,800
and we had a lot of the standard items

1418
01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:40,166
on our on on our agenda.

1419
01:15:40,166 --> 01:15:42,100
But first, starting off with the open House,

1420
01:15:42,100 --> 01:15:45,200
we heard about that a little bit earlier today.

1421
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:49,400
And that it seems like those went really well.

1422
01:15:49,400 --> 01:15:51,900
We turned these around very quickly.

1423
01:15:51,900 --> 01:15:57,433
It went from a thought to being implemented within a couple of days.

1424
01:15:57,433 --> 01:16:00,934
So we just want to acknowledge we didn't have all the materials

1425
01:16:00,934 --> 01:16:03,133
that we hope that we will have in the future.

1426
01:16:03,133 --> 01:16:07,200
We're working on getting some more materials presented

1427
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:11,133
or printed out in talking thinking.

1428
01:16:11,133 --> 01:16:17,433
Long term badges are coming up, so we'll all have our badges and opposed to board.

1429
01:16:17,500 --> 01:16:20,667
Will we might be able to get that done for this time around,

1430
01:16:20,667 --> 01:16:24,934
but at the very least we'll probably have some temporary tablecloths.

1431
01:16:24,934 --> 01:16:28,500
So we've got thank you to all that have volunteered.

1432
01:16:28,500 --> 01:16:31,433
There's a couple of openings

1433
01:16:31,433 --> 01:16:36,467
that we might be able to backfill, but everybody an opportunity.

1434
01:16:36,500 --> 01:16:39,967
Glenn Lake on Tuesday the 29th.

1435
01:16:39,967 --> 01:16:44,266
We're looking for one more rep if anybody's interested.

1436
01:16:45,400 --> 01:16:46,533
And then the

1437
01:16:46,533 --> 01:16:49,533
other one is Mountain View Middle School

1438
01:16:49,634 --> 01:16:52,734
on the 22 day, the 22nd.

1439
01:16:54,100 --> 01:16:57,400
So if anyone's available and wants to do it.

1440
01:16:57,700 --> 01:16:58,667
Let me know.

1441
01:16:58,667 --> 01:17:02,634
Otherwise, learn Laura and I will be doing some backfilling.

1442
01:17:02,867 --> 01:17:08,867
So it sounds like it was a really good opportunity.

1443
01:17:08,900 --> 01:17:12,000
Remember, our word of the year is engagement

1444
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:15,000
and just having a presence there.

1445
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:16,700
It seemed like it went really well.

1446
01:17:16,700 --> 01:17:21,767
And I think wearing the t shirts now that everybody has their t shirt,

1447
01:17:21,767 --> 01:17:24,767
if you have a your t shirt available.

1448
01:17:24,967 --> 01:17:28,166
I wouldn't need one because we have more if anybody needed one.

1449
01:17:31,834 --> 01:17:33,834
Great.

1450
01:17:33,834 --> 01:17:37,734
So let's see what else we talked about.

1451
01:17:37,800 --> 01:17:43,967
Social having a social media presence, school board versus school district.

1452
01:17:43,967 --> 01:17:46,800
More on that. We're continuing to talk about that.

1453
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:50,467
And we'll bring a proposal when we have it more solidified.

1454
01:17:50,967 --> 01:17:55,233
We also revisited our strategic communication plan.

1455
01:17:55,300 --> 01:18:00,066
That was really pretty aggressive, getting it done by the end of the year.

1456
01:18:00,367 --> 01:18:03,767
We think that that timeline really needs to be pushed out.

1457
01:18:03,767 --> 01:18:07,233
So we'll we'll circle back with that next time.

1458
01:18:07,233 --> 01:18:12,333
And the big the big one I think is thinking about the board retreat.

1459
01:18:13,133 --> 01:18:15,634
And there's been some suggestions

1460
01:18:15,634 --> 01:18:18,600
of moving it earlier in the year.

1461
01:18:19,133 --> 01:18:22,800
And we'd like to put forward

1462
01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:26,000
having it in April, maybe May.

1463
01:18:26,033 --> 01:18:28,834
That will give whoever is elected to the board.

1464
01:18:28,834 --> 01:18:31,567
We will have a new member, at least one new member.

1465
01:18:32,667 --> 01:18:33,200
The only

1466
01:18:33,200 --> 01:18:36,634
thing we'll need to think about is, you know,

1467
01:18:36,667 --> 01:18:40,400
if it's the third week, you've got school vacation coming up.

1468
01:18:40,467 --> 01:18:43,433
Also what the agendas are going to look like,

1469
01:18:43,433 --> 01:18:47,033
because we try to keep the board agenda somewhat small

1470
01:18:47,634 --> 01:18:52,567
and if necessary, we could move it after April vacation.

1471
01:18:53,066 --> 01:18:56,133
But that's just the general idea.

1472
01:18:56,133 --> 01:18:59,934
So I'm we don't need any answer right now.

1473
01:18:59,934 --> 01:19:02,000
But I would say, you know, in the next month

1474
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:05,533
or so, we'd like to firm up what is going to make sense.

1475
01:19:05,533 --> 01:19:08,233
So, Brian, I think Scott will be coming back to you

1476
01:19:08,233 --> 01:19:10,233
looking at what's happening in the buildings.

1477
01:19:10,233 --> 01:19:11,200
And I'd like.

1478
01:19:11,200 --> 01:19:11,567
To reach.

1479
01:19:11,567 --> 01:19:16,200
Out to Saint Anselm College and check on availability of the room

1480
01:19:16,200 --> 01:19:19,333
that we typically use at the institute and politics.

1481
01:19:19,667 --> 01:19:23,333
So we'll see if they have April and May availability.

1482
01:19:23,367 --> 01:19:24,533
Yep. Sounds great.

1483
01:19:24,533 --> 01:19:29,133
And if we could get a smaller that that room was it seemed a little

1484
01:19:29,166 --> 01:19:32,133
it was great being in that room, but it was.

1485
01:19:32,133 --> 01:19:34,033
You can share all of that with Mr. Gross.

1486
01:19:34,033 --> 01:19:36,734
You will be able. Okay, great.

1487
01:19:36,734 --> 01:19:42,266
Yes. So our next meeting is scheduled for November 2nd.

1488
01:19:42,300 --> 01:19:44,166
I just don't know.

1489
01:19:44,166 --> 01:19:46,033
That's a regular meeting now, right?

1490
01:19:46,033 --> 01:19:48,533
So we would be meeting at six.

1491
01:19:50,100 --> 01:19:53,066
Any questions for Rita?

1492
01:19:53,066 --> 01:19:54,500
Oh, yeah.

1493
01:19:54,500 --> 01:19:55,133
Go ahead.

1494
01:19:55,133 --> 01:19:57,634
You said Glen Lake. Was a 29, right?

1495
01:19:57,634 --> 01:19:59,767
Yes. We're going to talk about your new business, too.

1496
01:19:59,767 --> 01:20:01,333
Thank you. Yeah.

1497
01:20:01,333 --> 01:20:04,567
As a comment, I want to personally say thank you

1498
01:20:04,567 --> 01:20:09,834
to you, Laura and Scott for taking an idea and put it into execution in.

1499
01:20:09,834 --> 01:20:10,767
Very little time.

1500
01:20:10,767 --> 01:20:14,266
And I thought it was very successful having those open houses

1501
01:20:14,333 --> 01:20:15,500
and the crash course.

1502
01:20:15,500 --> 01:20:21,033
I know Laura and I had that Maple was great, but no great job on that.

1503
01:20:21,133 --> 01:20:23,200
Again, idea execution.

1504
01:20:23,200 --> 01:20:24,867
Very good velocity on that.

1505
01:20:24,867 --> 01:20:26,266
Thank you very much.

1506
01:20:26,266 --> 01:20:28,467
It was it was a team effort.

1507
01:20:28,467 --> 01:20:28,700
Yeah.

1508
01:20:28,700 --> 01:20:30,233
Name tags will be appreciated

1509
01:20:30,233 --> 01:20:33,266
because they did check out the pictures to make sure they could find Shane and.

1510
01:20:33,266 --> 01:20:33,967
I on it.

1511
01:20:36,367 --> 01:20:37,734
It will work on.

1512
01:20:37,734 --> 01:20:41,934
We're going to have something a little more fancy.

1513
01:20:43,133 --> 01:20:45,634
I think having us, you know, school board

1514
01:20:45,634 --> 01:20:48,934
as part of, like, maybe a scavenger hunt for the school would be great, you know?

1515
01:20:49,066 --> 01:20:50,634
Yeah. Okay.

1516
01:20:50,634 --> 01:20:52,867
Goffstown policy change.

1517
01:20:52,867 --> 01:20:54,200
We have not met, but we. Will.

1518
01:20:54,200 --> 01:20:56,800
Be meeting next Monday, September 20th.

1519
01:20:56,800 --> 01:20:58,000
First at 530.

1520
01:20:58,000 --> 01:20:58,467
P. M.

1521
01:20:58,467 --> 01:21:02,066
At the Saw offices at 11 School Street.

1522
01:21:02,066 --> 01:21:05,033
So we will be. Back. In action next Monday.

1523
01:21:05,033 --> 01:21:06,867
Thank you. Shane.

1524
01:21:06,867 --> 01:21:07,700
Board meeting.

1525
01:21:07,700 --> 01:21:13,000
The next SEO board meeting for budget presentation is October 15th,

1526
01:21:13,033 --> 01:21:17,166
and the working session for the Saw budget

1527
01:21:17,333 --> 01:21:20,400
will be on November 10th.

1528
01:21:20,967 --> 01:21:24,433
So any member of the public that wants to come and listen to the Saw

1529
01:21:25,800 --> 01:21:29,400
budget, because that is now going to be part of the warrant article.

1530
01:21:29,600 --> 01:21:33,500
You are welcome to those meetings on October 15th and November 10th.

1531
01:21:33,500 --> 01:21:37,233
And those are at the South Office at 6 p.m..

1532
01:21:39,266 --> 01:21:39,867
Okay.

1533
01:21:39,867 --> 01:21:42,266
With that, we'll move on to the superintendent report, Mr. bulk.

1534
01:21:42,266 --> 01:21:44,066
Thank you.

1535
01:21:44,066 --> 01:21:46,567
Unfortunately, I'm going to start with sad news this evening.

1536
01:21:46,567 --> 01:21:52,266
If you hadn't heard, I just saw today in the paper, Pat Keough,

1537
01:21:52,333 --> 01:21:57,567
who was a long time teacher at Mountain View over 40 years, passed away.

1538
01:21:57,567 --> 01:22:01,934
So she she's she'd been retired for a while.

1539
01:22:01,934 --> 01:22:05,767
But those of us who knew her, she made a lasting impression. So.

1540
01:22:05,767 --> 01:22:06,433
Good lady.

1541
01:22:06,433 --> 01:22:09,433
And I was really sad to see that she was an excellent teacher.

1542
01:22:09,834 --> 01:22:12,133
I have.

1543
01:22:12,133 --> 01:22:13,100
Yep. Good.

1544
01:22:13,100 --> 01:22:14,533
Good woman.

1545
01:22:14,533 --> 01:22:18,266
Next week is Constitution Day, so we have a number of activities

1546
01:22:18,266 --> 01:22:20,300
planned across all of our schools. Mrs.

1547
01:22:20,300 --> 01:22:21,500
Koehler will give an update

1548
01:22:21,500 --> 01:22:24,634
at our next meeting afterwards of what all those specific things were.

1549
01:22:25,100 --> 01:22:28,800
She does have a list of prepared if you want to know the sneak preview.

1550
01:22:29,300 --> 01:22:31,467
If not, we can wait till after.

1551
01:22:31,467 --> 01:22:35,533
I wanted to let you know that House Bill 1300, which is the bill

1552
01:22:35,533 --> 01:22:39,333
that created the tax cap question in 2026

1553
01:22:39,333 --> 01:22:43,533
and then again in 2028 has been legally challenged.

1554
01:22:43,533 --> 01:22:47,200
So at this point, we don't know exactly what's going to happen.

1555
01:22:47,567 --> 01:22:49,533
There's been a request for an injunction.

1556
01:22:49,533 --> 01:22:55,967
And essentially the argument of the case, from my read of it, is that it is

1557
01:22:56,000 --> 01:22:59,967
the tax cap question is unconstitutionally vague, is the

1558
01:23:00,600 --> 01:23:03,867
and unclear is the kind of argument that's being made.

1559
01:23:03,900 --> 01:23:06,900
So we'll have to see what happens with that.

1560
01:23:07,266 --> 01:23:10,033
At this point we're planning on the tax cap.

1561
01:23:10,033 --> 01:23:10,934
Vote is happening.

1562
01:23:10,934 --> 01:23:12,000
We're planning budgets.

1563
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:13,533
We're planning everything accordingly.

1564
01:23:13,533 --> 01:23:16,634
And if there's any kind of an injunction of any sort, we'll let the board know.

1565
01:23:16,634 --> 01:23:21,967
But as of right now, we're anticipating that that remains as planned.

1566
01:23:22,567 --> 01:23:24,934
We're taking a close look at all of our bus runs.

1567
01:23:24,934 --> 01:23:26,233
So this is the time of the year

1568
01:23:26,233 --> 01:23:29,300
where we start to really evaluate how many kids are riding busses.

1569
01:23:29,333 --> 01:23:32,333
Do we have any busses that are maybe more full than we need?

1570
01:23:32,634 --> 01:23:33,934
So we're evaluating those.

1571
01:23:33,934 --> 01:23:37,567
At this point, we'll let the board know if we have any significant concerns.

1572
01:23:37,567 --> 01:23:41,533
And the last piece I wanted to share with you, it's been a long time coming,

1573
01:23:41,533 --> 01:23:45,100
but policy b e DB,

1574
01:23:45,133 --> 01:23:48,100
which is agenda preparation and dissemination.

1575
01:23:48,100 --> 01:23:49,867
The board will recall.

1576
01:23:49,867 --> 01:23:53,333
Speaking of admin retreat or excuse me, board retreat.

1577
01:23:53,367 --> 01:23:57,967
You had a board retreat item that we just completed which is allowing

1578
01:23:57,967 --> 01:24:02,567
now for a consent agenda as part of our monthly meeting agendas.

1579
01:24:02,567 --> 01:24:04,300
So we did not do that

1580
01:24:04,300 --> 01:24:06,667
in preparation for tonight, we wanted to give you the heads up

1581
01:24:06,667 --> 01:24:09,000
that starting in October we're going to start to do that.

1582
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:12,033
So you'll start to see and members of the public

1583
01:24:12,033 --> 01:24:15,066
who might be watching the board meeting might see that the board

1584
01:24:15,066 --> 01:24:19,367
might not take a motion on the minutes, the board might not take a motion on

1585
01:24:20,867 --> 01:24:23,934
the staffing sheet or some of the other things that have been before

1586
01:24:23,967 --> 01:24:27,300
the board in the past, and that will be part of the consent agenda.

1587
01:24:27,333 --> 01:24:28,767
I did speak with Mr. Totten.

1588
01:24:28,767 --> 01:24:32,634
We thought it was important that the manifest be discussed

1589
01:24:32,634 --> 01:24:35,967
and kind of processed outside of that consent agenda.

1590
01:24:35,967 --> 01:24:39,867
We thought it was important that the board had a conversation about the manifest.

1591
01:24:39,867 --> 01:24:42,834
So it was our recommendation to not include the manifest

1592
01:24:42,834 --> 01:24:46,300
as part of the consent agenda, but meeting minutes,

1593
01:24:46,667 --> 01:24:48,900
things like the staffing sheet and some of those other things.

1594
01:24:48,900 --> 01:24:51,500
If there are things that have already been before the board,

1595
01:24:51,500 --> 01:24:53,266
the board has already deliberated on.

1596
01:24:53,266 --> 01:24:54,767
And if there was,

1597
01:24:54,767 --> 01:24:57,767
some of those things could also be added into the consent agenda.

1598
01:24:57,767 --> 01:25:01,300
And then consistent with that new policy, if there are board members that wanted

1599
01:25:01,300 --> 01:25:04,333
to remove something from the consent agenda, that you can do that as well.

1600
01:25:04,333 --> 01:25:06,100
So this has been a long time coming.

1601
01:25:06,100 --> 01:25:09,033
It will be a slight change of how we do business.

1602
01:25:09,033 --> 01:25:13,133
It probably means a few less motions and maybe it speeds things up a little bit.

1603
01:25:13,133 --> 01:25:15,033
So that's what we were hoping for.

1604
01:25:15,033 --> 01:25:16,800
And that was all I had.

1605
01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:19,200
Mrs. Koller, anything to add, anything I missed?

1606
01:25:19,200 --> 01:25:21,500
I don't. Believe so. Thank you. And we're happy to answer.

1607
01:25:21,500 --> 01:25:25,066
If there are any questions for myself or members of our team.

1608
01:25:26,266 --> 01:25:29,500
Get around the consent agenda.

1609
01:25:29,533 --> 01:25:31,934
I know there's a policy there, but, you know,

1610
01:25:31,934 --> 01:25:34,300
we've been doing this for a long time.

1611
01:25:34,300 --> 01:25:37,300
We know what to expect not to expect.

1612
01:25:37,567 --> 01:25:41,033
Will there be some sort of orientation or, you know, like,

1613
01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:44,800
you know, anything that we need to know about how this works?

1614
01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:48,634
Or, you know, like if we want something to be on the agenda,

1615
01:25:48,634 --> 01:25:51,667
what the process will be.

1616
01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:54,133
Yeah. I'm just throwing that out there.

1617
01:25:54,133 --> 01:25:56,800
What I would encourage is I'll speak to Mrs.

1618
01:25:56,800 --> 01:26:00,834
Science about this in terms of how we're organizing and structuring things.

1619
01:26:01,233 --> 01:26:03,567
We'll we'll put it on the draft agenda.

1620
01:26:03,567 --> 01:26:05,900
You'll see that it might look slightly different.

1621
01:26:05,900 --> 01:26:08,066
And this this is all new for us. Right.

1622
01:26:08,066 --> 01:26:11,200
So if, if the board isn't happy with

1623
01:26:11,300 --> 01:26:15,533
I mean it's your policy on how the meeting agendas are constructed.

1624
01:26:15,533 --> 01:26:18,734
So this is for the board.

1625
01:26:18,734 --> 01:26:21,033
And if you're not happy with how things are

1626
01:26:21,033 --> 01:26:23,500
then you guys can ask us to do it differently.

1627
01:26:23,500 --> 01:26:25,300
So I'd imagine that there will be

1628
01:26:25,300 --> 01:26:29,133
a line item in our agenda to say approval of consent agenda.

1629
01:26:29,467 --> 01:26:31,533
Before we make standalone agenda. Item.

1630
01:26:31,533 --> 01:26:34,900
And before that, if there's anything that needs to be pulled out, we'll pull it

1631
01:26:34,900 --> 01:26:37,934
out, approve it, and then we'll talk about that individual item as well.

1632
01:26:37,967 --> 01:26:40,133
Okay. Great.

1633
01:26:40,133 --> 01:26:40,700
Laura.

1634
01:26:40,700 --> 01:26:43,400
Just regarding the bustling as the review is happening

1635
01:26:43,400 --> 01:26:45,667
and as we're heading into budget season, I was just curious,

1636
01:26:45,667 --> 01:26:48,634
is there still going to be a request for the, you know,

1637
01:26:48,634 --> 01:26:51,300
if we could add more busses, what that would look like?

1638
01:26:51,300 --> 01:26:55,834
So one of the things that is on a piece of chart paper hanging on Mr.

1639
01:26:56,367 --> 01:27:00,600
Wall is a list of about eight things, and that is one of them.

1640
01:27:00,667 --> 01:27:03,233
So we are planning there are a couple of things

1641
01:27:03,233 --> 01:27:07,100
that the board acts to include for the fee 28 budget process.

1642
01:27:07,100 --> 01:27:12,567
One is the universal lunch program that Jack has asked us.

1643
01:27:12,767 --> 01:27:14,867
We call it Feed the Kids.

1644
01:27:14,867 --> 01:27:16,667
So we've got Feed the Kids on the list.

1645
01:27:16,667 --> 01:27:18,667
We've got some additional bus runs on the list.

1646
01:27:18,667 --> 01:27:19,600
So yes. Great.

1647
01:27:21,367 --> 01:27:23,300
Any other questions for the superintendent

1648
01:27:23,300 --> 01:27:26,300
or assistant superintendent?

1649
01:27:27,233 --> 01:27:28,533
Seeing none, we'll move on.

1650
01:27:28,533 --> 01:27:31,266
So moving to old business.

1651
01:27:31,266 --> 01:27:34,266
We have board authorization of our rear parking lot.

1652
01:27:34,266 --> 01:27:39,100
So did everybody get a handout for this particular item okay.

1653
01:27:39,100 --> 01:27:41,166
So let me show people in the handout.

1654
01:27:41,166 --> 01:27:44,367
So the past couple of meetings we've talked about the expansion

1655
01:27:44,367 --> 01:27:47,934
of the backpacking lot here at GHS.

1656
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:52,667
And the additional space is approximately 75 spaces that that will entail.

1657
01:27:53,400 --> 01:27:55,200
They've gone before the planning committee.

1658
01:27:55,200 --> 01:27:55,834
And Mr.

1659
01:27:55,834 --> 01:28:00,667
Bulky, I'll let you kind of go through some of the other pieces that we need, but

1660
01:28:00,667 --> 01:28:04,600
we will be looking for a motion to execute an RFP

1661
01:28:05,233 --> 01:28:08,266
to get this project moving.

1662
01:28:08,700 --> 01:28:09,133
So, Mr.

1663
01:28:09,133 --> 01:28:11,800
Bulky, are there any additional pieces you want to add in?

1664
01:28:11,800 --> 01:28:15,867
No, I think at this point, if if the board has an appetite for us

1665
01:28:15,867 --> 01:28:19,233
trying to get this project done this year to have some benefit

1666
01:28:19,233 --> 01:28:22,700
to the students, we would be looking to go now.

1667
01:28:22,700 --> 01:28:26,200
So every step in the process is going to take time.

1668
01:28:26,200 --> 01:28:28,033
So we need to develop the RFP.

1669
01:28:28,033 --> 01:28:29,800
That RFP has to be issued.

1670
01:28:29,800 --> 01:28:32,133
We have to meet with prospective vendors.

1671
01:28:32,133 --> 01:28:34,233
We have to go through an evaluation process.

1672
01:28:34,233 --> 01:28:36,800
So those would all be the next steps.

1673
01:28:36,800 --> 01:28:40,934
Doug, were you going to speak a little more about those specific steps?

1674
01:28:42,100 --> 01:28:45,300
So I understand that the RFP has been developed

1675
01:28:45,400 --> 01:28:48,634
because because like the superintendent said that the goal

1676
01:28:48,634 --> 01:28:52,100
is to get kids in these spots as soon as possible.

1677
01:28:52,467 --> 01:28:56,200
So with that, though, we'd be looking for two motions

1678
01:28:56,333 --> 01:28:58,667
during the public part of tonight,

1679
01:28:58,667 --> 01:29:03,934
and one was to move forward with issuing that RFP.

1680
01:29:03,967 --> 01:29:07,066
And then the second would be to allow the superintendent

1681
01:29:07,066 --> 01:29:11,767
or doesn't need to review the RFP bid submissions and make a bid award

1682
01:29:12,300 --> 01:29:16,200
and execute the contract up to the project's cost allocation.

1683
01:29:16,200 --> 01:29:19,266
So it'd be that cost allocation that we'd be looking to set

1684
01:29:19,300 --> 01:29:23,867
during the nonpublic, because we want the job done,

1685
01:29:24,166 --> 01:29:25,300
we want it done for

1686
01:29:25,300 --> 01:29:28,300
probably a certain amount of money or up to a certain amount of money.

1687
01:29:28,300 --> 01:29:31,266
But we don't want to publicize that certain amount of money

1688
01:29:31,266 --> 01:29:33,967
out to the people who might be bidding on it as well.

1689
01:29:33,967 --> 01:29:37,934
So it'd be two motions during the public session, which would

1690
01:29:37,934 --> 01:29:41,767
allow us to move forward and a little bit more of an expedited fashion.

1691
01:29:42,166 --> 01:29:44,500
And that's the work that's already been happening.

1692
01:29:44,500 --> 01:29:48,934
So Randy and Scott have already created the RFP, knowing that

1693
01:29:48,934 --> 01:29:54,166
that was an important step in order to get the parking spaces available.

1694
01:29:54,467 --> 01:29:57,734
It looks like hopefully, maybe sometime in December, early December.

1695
01:29:59,266 --> 01:30:01,300
As a reminder of the board and the public,

1696
01:30:01,300 --> 01:30:06,967
the funds that would be going to execute this project are not coming from taxation,

1697
01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:10,133
they're not coming from grants, they're coming from impact fees

1698
01:30:10,133 --> 01:30:13,400
that occur when a developer builds within the district.

1699
01:30:13,400 --> 01:30:16,767
So it's either a user lose it for impact fees.

1700
01:30:16,767 --> 01:30:20,800
We receive these as an impact into our school system.

1701
01:30:21,200 --> 01:30:24,200
New buildings, new houses impact the schools.

1702
01:30:24,233 --> 01:30:26,500
They set aside a certain amount of money.

1703
01:30:26,500 --> 01:30:28,533
We either have to use it and a designated time,

1704
01:30:28,533 --> 01:30:32,100
or it goes back to the developers for their bottom line.

1705
01:30:32,100 --> 01:30:35,133
So this is not something that if we don't use it, it goes back to offset

1706
01:30:35,166 --> 01:30:36,767
taxes as well.

1707
01:30:36,767 --> 01:30:40,166
So I want to make sure everybody understands, especially in the public,

1708
01:30:40,600 --> 01:30:44,200
the use of school impact fees for this project.

1709
01:30:45,567 --> 01:30:46,934
Any questions for Doug?

1710
01:30:46,934 --> 01:30:47,934
Adam.

1711
01:30:47,934 --> 01:30:51,066
Can you also just explain, for the sake of everyone,

1712
01:30:51,100 --> 01:30:55,700
what impact fees can be used for and what they can't be used for?

1713
01:30:56,266 --> 01:30:59,433
So in a very broad sense, Yeah, should be

1714
01:30:59,467 --> 01:31:04,166
because it's built by the people who are building into town.

1715
01:31:04,266 --> 01:31:09,567
It should really it has to be used for, you know, expanding things

1716
01:31:09,600 --> 01:31:12,600
due to an increase of people.

1717
01:31:12,800 --> 01:31:16,600
So while the parking lot has somewhat worked for a while,

1718
01:31:16,634 --> 01:31:20,800
it continues not to work because, you know, there, you know,

1719
01:31:20,834 --> 01:31:25,000
there are people now moving into town that have kids that have actually become

1720
01:31:25,033 --> 01:31:26,500
high school students as well.

1721
01:31:26,500 --> 01:31:31,600
So as long as we're really expanding what we have, then we're doing a better job.

1722
01:31:31,600 --> 01:31:33,634
So it couldn't be used.

1723
01:31:33,634 --> 01:31:38,433
For example, for the the generator project, the generator was already here.

1724
01:31:38,433 --> 01:31:39,734
We were using the generator.

1725
01:31:39,734 --> 01:31:42,734
We didn't know that a part was going to fail, that we couldn't fix it,

1726
01:31:43,266 --> 01:31:44,133
but it wouldn't.

1727
01:31:44,133 --> 01:31:48,367
That's not something new that we needed because of the expansion

1728
01:31:48,367 --> 01:31:51,934
of the houses or apartments in the town.

1729
01:31:52,433 --> 01:31:53,500
Perfect. Thank you.

1730
01:31:54,533 --> 01:31:56,200
Yeah, just a question.

1731
01:31:56,200 --> 01:31:59,166
Obviously, this is potentially a lot of money.

1732
01:31:59,166 --> 01:32:02,433
Big impact on the school's ability to provide parking for the students.

1733
01:32:02,467 --> 01:32:06,133
Have what consideration was given on other projects

1734
01:32:06,133 --> 01:32:09,533
that the money might be used to positively impact

1735
01:32:09,900 --> 01:32:13,634
the accommodation for the extra students that we're experiencing?

1736
01:32:13,667 --> 01:32:17,667
Or is this the only one that we considered before it was brought to the board, or.

1737
01:32:17,700 --> 01:32:20,567
This is the primary project that we've been focusing on.

1738
01:32:20,567 --> 01:32:23,734
There are some other projects that we've discussed.

1739
01:32:23,734 --> 01:32:27,667
So the 110 acres of land that the school district owns,

1740
01:32:27,734 --> 01:32:34,133
just back beyond the high school here, looking at doing some land assessment,

1741
01:32:34,300 --> 01:32:39,133
wetlands evaluation, if you wanted to do any kind of evaluation of the land,

1742
01:32:39,133 --> 01:32:42,767
looking at architecture and engineering fees, all of those would be permissible

1743
01:32:42,834 --> 01:32:47,367
using impact fees, expansion of portable classrooms.

1744
01:32:47,700 --> 01:32:50,734
If we had to add on an addition to a school, all of those

1745
01:32:50,734 --> 01:32:53,734
kinds of things are what you could use impact fees for.

1746
01:32:54,200 --> 01:32:56,100
And we landed on that.

1747
01:32:56,100 --> 01:32:59,166
This was the most immediate, I want to say, low cost.

1748
01:32:59,333 --> 01:33:03,667
That makes it sound, but low cost option is something that would hit

1749
01:33:04,634 --> 01:33:06,767
soon versus like a longer term.

1750
01:33:06,767 --> 01:33:09,500
Yeah. So we talked about a number of things.

1751
01:33:09,500 --> 01:33:10,133
And Mr.

1752
01:33:10,133 --> 01:33:10,667
Todd, Mrs.

1753
01:33:10,667 --> 01:33:13,433
Koehler, please feel free to chime in.

1754
01:33:13,433 --> 01:33:14,667
We certainly have talked

1755
01:33:14,667 --> 01:33:18,734
about other things like we know we don't have a 90ft baseball diamond.

1756
01:33:18,734 --> 01:33:23,567
So that's probably the other biggest project that we talked about.

1757
01:33:23,867 --> 01:33:27,333
But as we know, that's a very expensive project

1758
01:33:27,333 --> 01:33:30,934
well beyond the scope of what we could cover with impact fees.

1759
01:33:31,233 --> 01:33:34,233
So this is this has been the highest priority.

1760
01:33:34,433 --> 01:33:36,934
Parking has been a problem here at Goffstown High School

1761
01:33:36,934 --> 01:33:39,967
for a number of years, and it's just continued to become

1762
01:33:40,867 --> 01:33:43,600
more challenging, I think just more families,

1763
01:33:43,600 --> 01:33:47,200
more kids with, you know, access to an inexpensive car,

1764
01:33:47,400 --> 01:33:48,867
more kids seeking to drive,

1765
01:33:48,867 --> 01:33:51,433
more kids getting their license when they're sophomores.

1766
01:33:53,066 --> 01:33:55,500
We just can't accommodate all the kids that we have.

1767
01:33:55,500 --> 01:33:59,700
And we know that kids are doing all kinds of things that they they need a car.

1768
01:33:59,700 --> 01:34:01,600
So they're working after school jobs.

1769
01:34:01,600 --> 01:34:04,433
They might be picking up a younger brother or sister.

1770
01:34:04,433 --> 01:34:08,433
They might have an internship or something that they're doing after school.

1771
01:34:08,433 --> 01:34:11,400
So when kids come to us, they have really good reasons

1772
01:34:11,400 --> 01:34:14,533
of why they want a car on campus, and we support that.

1773
01:34:14,533 --> 01:34:16,133
We just haven't had the space.

1774
01:34:16,133 --> 01:34:21,734
So we do see this as kind of although I would really like a 90ft baseball diamond.

1775
01:34:21,834 --> 01:34:22,634
We see this as

1776
01:34:22,634 --> 01:34:26,333
being kind of the next important project that we're looking to to accomplish.

1777
01:34:26,367 --> 01:34:26,767
Thank you.

1778
01:34:26,767 --> 01:34:29,767
And we have discussed this with the high school administration,

1779
01:34:29,767 --> 01:34:33,767
because both the 90ft and the parking lot seem to kind of rise to the top,

1780
01:34:33,767 --> 01:34:36,133
and obviously they would impact the high school the most.

1781
01:34:36,133 --> 01:34:40,166
They are in support of a parking lot as well, though they would really love

1782
01:34:40,200 --> 01:34:41,600
a 90ft baseball diamond.

1783
01:34:41,600 --> 01:34:46,433
They understand that the parking lot has been an issue for for a long time.

1784
01:34:46,467 --> 01:34:48,634
It got more restricted,

1785
01:34:48,634 --> 01:34:51,734
you know, due to some of the town's decisions, which we agree with.

1786
01:34:52,066 --> 01:34:57,467
The town had more spots that they led available at the park type of thing,

1787
01:34:57,667 --> 01:34:59,934
but they had to restrict that because they wanted anyone

1788
01:34:59,934 --> 01:35:01,800
to be able to use the park during the day as well.

1789
01:35:01,800 --> 01:35:03,200
So we agree with the town.

1790
01:35:03,200 --> 01:35:07,100
We work really well with the town, but not restricted parking even more so

1791
01:35:07,100 --> 01:35:11,800
parking was restricted already, got restricted even more, and we want to

1792
01:35:11,800 --> 01:35:17,367
kind of support the kids and the families in a way knowing that more is needed.

1793
01:35:17,367 --> 01:35:19,834
And the town of Goffstown is growing.

1794
01:35:19,834 --> 01:35:22,734
I want to make sure people realize this last.

1795
01:35:22,734 --> 01:35:27,000
So one of the associated with House Bill 1300, there's a formula

1796
01:35:27,000 --> 01:35:30,667
that you have to use to figure out what your local tax cap would be.

1797
01:35:30,700 --> 01:35:33,700
And part of that includes the addition

1798
01:35:33,700 --> 01:35:36,734
of new properties that have been developed in the town.

1799
01:35:36,767 --> 01:35:38,300
Not a reappraisal.

1800
01:35:38,300 --> 01:35:43,200
Not you've added a percentage to the overall evaluation.

1801
01:35:43,233 --> 01:35:46,567
We had over $38 million of new

1802
01:35:46,567 --> 01:35:49,567
properties added to Goffstown in the last calendar year.

1803
01:35:49,567 --> 01:35:54,567
Goffstown is growing, so the tax base continues to expand.

1804
01:35:54,600 --> 01:35:55,934
That's why we have more money

1805
01:35:55,934 --> 01:36:00,233
and impact fees, because there have been a lot of building projects. So

1806
01:36:01,700 --> 01:36:02,700
38 million, so.

1807
01:36:02,700 --> 01:36:06,033
38 million added to the added to the tax base.

1808
01:36:06,934 --> 01:36:07,867
That's a big growth.

1809
01:36:07,867 --> 01:36:09,900
And one year that's a lot of growth.

1810
01:36:09,900 --> 01:36:12,166
Yeah.

1811
01:36:12,166 --> 01:36:13,800
What additional piece about parking.

1812
01:36:13,800 --> 01:36:15,333
It's not just schools.

1813
01:36:15,333 --> 01:36:20,033
Anybody's ever been here for football or even voting or any of the other sports.

1814
01:36:20,734 --> 01:36:24,467
Parking is a tough, tough sell sometimes.

1815
01:36:24,467 --> 01:36:26,400
So it's not just for students in schools.

1816
01:36:26,400 --> 01:36:28,266
It's also for the community as well.

1817
01:36:28,266 --> 01:36:32,033
And if there's two organizations with things on the same day,

1818
01:36:32,033 --> 01:36:35,033
then it's a mess.

1819
01:36:35,033 --> 01:36:37,300
So really what the two motions that Mr.

1820
01:36:37,300 --> 01:36:41,066
Totten recommended, we're not recommending this

1821
01:36:41,066 --> 01:36:43,000
because we don't want the board to have oversight.

1822
01:36:43,000 --> 01:36:45,734
We're trying to do this to make it a little more expeditious.

1823
01:36:45,734 --> 01:36:48,800
So if the board is inclined, you're welcome to.

1824
01:36:48,834 --> 01:36:53,600
We can put each step on your agenda as we go, the approval of the RFP

1825
01:36:53,634 --> 01:36:58,000
evaluation, the piece of if what I think Scott and Mr.

1826
01:36:58,000 --> 01:37:00,800
Loring are recommending, if you'd like to give us the green light,

1827
01:37:00,800 --> 01:37:05,066
we're happy to do those on your behalf, and it'll happen much more quickly.

1828
01:37:05,834 --> 01:37:07,467
Great. With that.

1829
01:37:07,467 --> 01:37:09,634
Any more questions or comments?

1830
01:37:09,634 --> 01:37:11,700
Not I will accept them. Oh I'm sorry.

1831
01:37:11,700 --> 01:37:13,166
Comment that I feel like the students

1832
01:37:13,166 --> 01:37:16,300
and community have spoken, that this would be hugely impactful.

1833
01:37:16,333 --> 01:37:19,867
And so I feel pretty strongly about living forward quickly that.

1834
01:37:20,533 --> 01:37:21,066
You are.

1835
01:37:22,000 --> 01:37:22,967
Anybody like to make a motion?

1836
01:37:22,967 --> 01:37:23,834
I'll make a motion

1837
01:37:23,834 --> 01:37:27,934
to authorize the superintendent or designee to issue the RFP for the rear

1838
01:37:27,934 --> 01:37:32,367
parking lot expansion project on or before September 15th, 2026.

1839
01:37:32,667 --> 01:37:35,500
Motion by Shane, seconded by Adam.

1840
01:37:35,500 --> 01:37:38,266
Okay, any further questions or comments?

1841
01:37:38,266 --> 01:37:40,266
Seeing none, we'll call the roll.

1842
01:37:40,266 --> 01:37:44,634
All those in favor of this motion to execute the RFP, please.

1843
01:37:44,634 --> 01:37:47,634
Second, by saying I opposed.

1844
01:37:47,667 --> 01:37:50,667
We want it. We want it.

1845
01:37:50,734 --> 01:37:52,533
Absolutely. Any opposed?

1846
01:37:52,533 --> 01:37:55,800
Any abstentions are unanimous. Okay.

1847
01:37:55,834 --> 01:37:57,533
And then Shane, do you have a second motion?

1848
01:37:57,533 --> 01:38:00,333
I would love to make a second motion to authorize the superintendent

1849
01:38:00,333 --> 01:38:03,333
or designee to review the projects RFP bid submissions, make

1850
01:38:03,333 --> 01:38:06,367
the bid award decision, and execute contracts up to the project's

1851
01:38:06,367 --> 01:38:09,800
cost allocation that will be set in nonpublic sessions evening.

1852
01:38:10,800 --> 01:38:12,400
Second by Adam.

1853
01:38:12,400 --> 01:38:14,700
Further questions or comments.

1854
01:38:14,700 --> 01:38:18,166
Seeing none, all those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye.

1855
01:38:18,433 --> 01:38:19,834
Any opposed?

1856
01:38:19,834 --> 01:38:22,300
Any abstentions. Yeah.

1857
01:38:22,300 --> 01:38:23,967
And again, I think this is great.

1858
01:38:23,967 --> 01:38:29,133
Turning ideation into execution, getting this done as quickly as possible.

1859
01:38:29,934 --> 01:38:30,533
Okay.

1860
01:38:30,533 --> 01:38:35,834
Moving on to our second old business, our Q&A policies, Mr.

1861
01:38:35,834 --> 01:38:36,533
Shane.

1862
01:38:36,533 --> 01:38:39,100
All right. So we have four policies in front of us.

1863
01:38:39,100 --> 01:38:41,200
And you will all recall that these are policies

1864
01:38:41,200 --> 01:38:42,867
that are recommended for deletion.

1865
01:38:42,867 --> 01:38:45,000
So tonight is our Q&A session.

1866
01:38:45,000 --> 01:38:48,300
If people have questions about them and then they will come back to our

1867
01:38:48,333 --> 01:38:53,934
at our next board meeting, which will be on October 5th for adoption at that point.

1868
01:38:54,467 --> 01:38:56,934
So if anyone asks questions tonight, we can talk about those.

1869
01:38:56,934 --> 01:38:58,867
Otherwise they will move forward

1870
01:38:58,867 --> 01:39:02,000
and lay over until the next board meeting where we will adopt them.

1871
01:39:02,000 --> 01:39:04,800
And by saying adopt them, I mean we will delete them.

1872
01:39:07,400 --> 01:39:08,934
Any questions for Shane?

1873
01:39:08,934 --> 01:39:09,834
Yeah.

1874
01:39:09,834 --> 01:39:12,867
So the access to school buildings,

1875
01:39:14,300 --> 01:39:17,233
why do we want to delete that.

1876
01:39:17,233 --> 01:39:18,700
If I remember correctly.

1877
01:39:18,700 --> 01:39:19,300
What are we talking.

1878
01:39:19,300 --> 01:39:21,734
We talked a long time ago. Yeah.

1879
01:39:21,734 --> 01:39:24,900
This is another example of about a 25 year old policy

1880
01:39:24,934 --> 01:39:29,100
that essentially doesn't give anyone anything, any authorizations

1881
01:39:29,100 --> 01:39:33,333
to be on or to access school buildings that they don't already have statutorily.

1882
01:39:33,333 --> 01:39:34,266
So, okay.

1883
01:39:34,266 --> 01:39:37,900
The school Boards association, a lot of these old policies

1884
01:39:37,900 --> 01:39:44,133
like eBay repairs and Ed recycling, they're just super dated.

1885
01:39:44,233 --> 01:39:47,400
So at the time, you know, in in the year 2000,

1886
01:39:47,433 --> 01:39:50,100
that recycling policy was new and innovative.

1887
01:39:50,100 --> 01:39:53,133
And now recycling is just part of how we do business, right.

1888
01:39:53,200 --> 01:39:57,533
So there are things that we just don't have to have policies for anymore.

1889
01:39:57,567 --> 01:39:59,834
And these four are examples, by the way.

1890
01:39:59,834 --> 01:40:00,967
There are more coming.

1891
01:40:00,967 --> 01:40:05,367
So we the Policy Review Committee has been kind of quietly and strategically

1892
01:40:05,367 --> 01:40:09,533
going through all of the policies and are looking at anything

1893
01:40:09,533 --> 01:40:11,200
that hasn't been touched in a while.

1894
01:40:11,200 --> 01:40:15,233
We're making sure that we have the latest versions of of policies,

1895
01:40:15,533 --> 01:40:19,367
and these ones are just really old and outdated.

1896
01:40:20,133 --> 01:40:21,266
Okay.

1897
01:40:21,266 --> 01:40:21,467
Yeah.

1898
01:40:21,467 --> 01:40:25,200
I think one of the things we talked about is that when this policy was created,

1899
01:40:25,233 --> 01:40:27,734
we have a whole new way of accessing the buildings now.

1900
01:40:27,734 --> 01:40:30,300
So it's kind of like Brian said, it's outdated.

1901
01:40:33,367 --> 01:40:36,166
But no action tonight.

1902
01:40:36,166 --> 01:40:38,500
Any other questions for Shane?

1903
01:40:38,500 --> 01:40:40,767
Okay. Seeing none, we will move on.

1904
01:40:40,767 --> 01:40:45,100
So those will come back on October 5th and we will adopt slash.

1905
01:40:45,100 --> 01:40:46,567
Delete that.

1906
01:40:46,567 --> 01:40:47,500
Thank you, Mr. Shane.

1907
01:40:47,500 --> 01:40:49,800
Thank you. Okay. Moving on to new business.

1908
01:40:49,800 --> 01:40:52,233
Our first item is a guess.

1909
01:40:52,233 --> 01:40:55,800
New field trip and something that will be brought to the board for approval.

1910
01:40:55,834 --> 01:40:57,867
I will turn it over to the superintendent.

1911
01:40:57,867 --> 01:40:59,934
So we have two requests.

1912
01:40:59,934 --> 01:41:01,467
These are both out of state.

1913
01:41:01,467 --> 01:41:04,500
So the reason these are coming to the board is because they're out of state,

1914
01:41:04,500 --> 01:41:08,533
or they're overnight field trips, and these two are both out of state.

1915
01:41:08,533 --> 01:41:12,000
We have a group that will be going to the Museum of Fine

1916
01:41:12,000 --> 01:41:15,367
Arts, one of my favorite places on the planet, at the end of October.

1917
01:41:15,367 --> 01:41:16,900
And a second

1918
01:41:17,900 --> 01:41:20,900
trip, which will be up to Ogunquit, Maine.

1919
01:41:21,333 --> 01:41:24,333
I'm sorry, I should have said the Museum of Fine Arts is in Boston.

1920
01:41:25,367 --> 01:41:27,500
The Ogunquit Playhouse is for

1921
01:41:27,500 --> 01:41:31,934
a musical production of a new play called Small Town.

1922
01:41:32,033 --> 01:41:36,467
So those would both be with supervised.

1923
01:41:36,500 --> 01:41:39,834
Mrs. McCann will be going on the performing arts trip,

1924
01:41:39,834 --> 01:41:43,734
and a number of teachers will be going to the Museum of Fine Arts,

1925
01:41:43,734 --> 01:41:46,734
about 40 students for both trips.

1926
01:41:48,000 --> 01:41:50,567
Do we want to improve them separately or together?

1927
01:41:50,567 --> 01:41:53,300
Together?

1928
01:41:53,300 --> 01:41:54,600
Any questions? Adam.

1929
01:41:54,600 --> 01:41:57,600
So are these for

1930
01:41:57,834 --> 01:41:59,467
classes?

1931
01:41:59,467 --> 01:42:01,200
Clubs? Honor societies. What?

1932
01:42:01,200 --> 01:42:02,867
Like that's the only thing that.

1933
01:42:02,867 --> 01:42:06,233
So the the the performance

1934
01:42:06,266 --> 01:42:09,233
at Ogunquit Playhouse is for performing arts students.

1935
01:42:09,233 --> 01:42:13,634
And the other class is our art classes.

1936
01:42:13,934 --> 01:42:14,300
Okay.

1937
01:42:14,300 --> 01:42:17,734
So it's a variety of art enrichment knowledge for each.

1938
01:42:17,967 --> 01:42:19,100
It's all art classes.

1939
01:42:19,100 --> 01:42:22,000
It's three different art teachers. Okay.

1940
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:25,200
So I think the different classes have different areas of focus

1941
01:42:25,200 --> 01:42:26,900
when they go to the Museum of Fine Arts.

1942
01:42:26,900 --> 01:42:28,567
Yeah, but it's for students enrolled.

1943
01:42:28,567 --> 01:42:30,934
In the class, enrolled in specific courses.

1944
01:42:30,934 --> 01:42:33,200
Extracurricular or anything. Correct? Okay.

1945
01:42:35,867 --> 01:42:38,500
The fine arts has no cost.

1946
01:42:38,500 --> 01:42:40,700
Is that free to the students?

1947
01:42:40,700 --> 01:42:41,900
That is correct.

1948
01:42:41,900 --> 01:42:46,700
And the performing arts one is about $30 per student.

1949
01:42:46,700 --> 01:42:52,133
And that includes the bus and the play ticket, which is a pretty good deal.

1950
01:42:53,467 --> 01:42:54,300
Jenny.

1951
01:42:54,300 --> 01:42:57,300
Yeah, I'd like to make a motion if we're done

1952
01:42:57,900 --> 01:43:00,900
to accept both of these trips.

1953
01:43:01,233 --> 01:43:01,634
Okay.

1954
01:43:01,634 --> 01:43:05,600
I have a motion from Janine to accept the trips and approve them as presented.

1955
01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:07,300
Seconded by Dan.

1956
01:43:07,300 --> 01:43:10,300
Any further questions or comments?

1957
01:43:11,867 --> 01:43:13,934
Seeing no questions or comments.

1958
01:43:13,934 --> 01:43:17,734
All those in favor of adopting or approving

1959
01:43:17,734 --> 01:43:20,734
these at a state field trip signify by saying aye.

1960
01:43:21,166 --> 01:43:22,867
Any opposed?

1961
01:43:22,867 --> 01:43:24,900
Any abstentions?

1962
01:43:24,900 --> 01:43:27,467
We are unanimous. Great.

1963
01:43:27,467 --> 01:43:28,600
Thank you.

1964
01:43:28,600 --> 01:43:29,166
Okay.

1965
01:43:29,166 --> 01:43:32,567
New business B board resignation.

1966
01:43:32,567 --> 01:43:35,567
So under policy. BB.

1967
01:43:36,533 --> 01:43:40,266
There is a process that we must go through to a point.

1968
01:43:40,300 --> 01:43:43,300
A new school board member.

1969
01:43:43,800 --> 01:43:47,400
I'm going to have the superintendent lay out the process for us.

1970
01:43:47,600 --> 01:43:50,967
Talk a little bit about kind of the next steps associated with this.

1971
01:43:50,967 --> 01:43:54,867
And the reason why we're moving on this is

1972
01:43:54,900 --> 01:43:58,367
I personally feel it's important that we have a new board member

1973
01:43:58,367 --> 01:44:02,400
and a full board represented as we go through budget deliberations.

1974
01:44:02,700 --> 01:44:06,500
Budgets start the first meeting in October.

1975
01:44:07,133 --> 01:44:09,533
So as part of this, I am asking for

1976
01:44:09,533 --> 01:44:13,100
us to come back together the week of the 24th.

1977
01:44:13,367 --> 01:44:16,500
But again, I'll start with the superintendent laying out the process,

1978
01:44:16,500 --> 01:44:20,233
and then we'll kind of fill in and approve the details as we move forward. Yep.

1979
01:44:20,266 --> 01:44:21,500
Thank you Jared.

1980
01:44:21,500 --> 01:44:25,333
So what we would do is we would put this in the newspaper.

1981
01:44:25,333 --> 01:44:29,266
We would put notifications out to the schools, including in newsletters

1982
01:44:29,266 --> 01:44:30,467
and on social media.

1983
01:44:30,467 --> 01:44:35,333
And what we're recommending is two weeks from today, which is Monday,

1984
01:44:35,367 --> 01:44:37,600
the 28th of September,

1985
01:44:37,600 --> 01:44:41,900
to hold a special school board meeting that evening for the sole purpose

1986
01:44:41,900 --> 01:44:47,734
of interviewing and selecting a replacement for replacement for Vanessa.

1987
01:44:47,767 --> 01:44:50,900
So I think we should also discuss, Mr.

1988
01:44:50,900 --> 01:44:54,400
Talbert, whether we are going to do those interviews

1989
01:44:54,400 --> 01:44:58,166
and those discussions in public session or in nonpublic session,

1990
01:44:58,166 --> 01:45:03,667
and whether we do them on camera with GTV, which is what we've done in the past.

1991
01:45:03,734 --> 01:45:07,800
So my recommendation would be the process that we've done in the past is

1992
01:45:07,867 --> 01:45:10,834
we let people know that when they come in,

1993
01:45:10,834 --> 01:45:14,533
we would ask people to give a highlight of their resume,

1994
01:45:14,567 --> 01:45:16,233
they would submit their resume ahead of time.

1995
01:45:16,233 --> 01:45:18,133
It would all go to Mrs. Shante.

1996
01:45:18,133 --> 01:45:21,700
We would collect those and we would make packets for the board.

1997
01:45:21,700 --> 01:45:24,700
When we have the session on the 28th,

1998
01:45:24,800 --> 01:45:27,600
I would think we would probably do them in alphabetical order.

1999
01:45:27,600 --> 01:45:30,667
We tend to not try to play any kind of favorites,

2000
01:45:30,667 --> 01:45:34,667
and we would have people come in and generally the interested people

2001
01:45:34,667 --> 01:45:37,734
would all come at the same time, and then we would just one by one,

2002
01:45:37,767 --> 01:45:41,200
ask them to come up and talk a little bit, a little bit about themselves

2003
01:45:41,200 --> 01:45:43,600
and why they're interested in serving on the board.

2004
01:45:43,600 --> 01:45:47,734
And then the board would then go into nonpublic session.

2005
01:45:47,900 --> 01:45:52,800
You would be able to deliberate as a board on which person you'd like to choose,

2006
01:45:52,800 --> 01:45:56,000
and then you would come out and make that appointment

2007
01:45:56,000 --> 01:45:58,734
in the public session at the end of the meeting.

2008
01:45:58,734 --> 01:46:02,033
So that's typically the process that we would go through.

2009
01:46:02,533 --> 01:46:05,333
It's entirely up to the board whether you want to

2010
01:46:05,333 --> 01:46:08,333
again, do these on camera or not,

2011
01:46:08,634 --> 01:46:13,467
and whether that date of the 28th, Monday the 28th works for folks.

2012
01:46:13,467 --> 01:46:16,133
I completely agree with the chair.

2013
01:46:16,133 --> 01:46:21,166
Having your full board seated for budget deliberations would be important.

2014
01:46:21,166 --> 01:46:25,667
And also the other committees that Vanessa was on, such as support

2015
01:46:25,667 --> 01:46:27,066
staff negotiations.

2016
01:46:27,066 --> 01:46:32,300
We need to replace somebody on those all of Vanessa's committee assignments.

2017
01:46:32,300 --> 01:46:33,734
It doesn't have to necessarily

2018
01:46:33,734 --> 01:46:37,667
be the new person that you might choose, but we would need to do that as well.

2019
01:46:39,367 --> 01:46:41,500
So let's let's first break down.

2020
01:46:41,500 --> 01:46:46,100
So the action again is we'll put out in the newspaper to the public.

2021
01:46:46,100 --> 01:46:48,567
And I believe it's a union leader.

2022
01:46:48,567 --> 01:46:50,800
We will be looking for any members

2023
01:46:50,800 --> 01:46:55,133
that are interested to provide their letter of interest

2024
01:46:55,133 --> 01:46:59,767
or letter of intent to awesome executive assistant over here.

2025
01:46:59,767 --> 01:47:02,800
By September 24th at 4:30 p.m..

2026
01:47:02,834 --> 01:47:06,233
That will be the cutoff for receiving any of those applicants.

2027
01:47:06,233 --> 01:47:09,800
And then I'm asking the board, are we good?

2028
01:47:09,800 --> 01:47:15,433
Coming together on September 28th, which is two Mondays from today,

2029
01:47:15,433 --> 01:47:19,100
to do a special meeting for the selection of an individual.

2030
01:47:20,133 --> 01:47:22,567
So I'm seeing a head shake consensus.

2031
01:47:22,567 --> 01:47:23,500
So call the chair.

2032
01:47:23,500 --> 01:47:25,900
We will have a meeting 6 p.m.

2033
01:47:25,900 --> 01:47:27,433
or 7 p.m..

2034
01:47:27,433 --> 01:47:30,567
Good for people because I don't know how many applicants we might get.

2035
01:47:30,600 --> 01:47:33,100
Earlier is better for six. Six.

2036
01:47:33,100 --> 01:47:37,133
Are we okay with 6:00 on Mondays for the 28th?

2037
01:47:37,900 --> 01:47:42,533
Will that be difficult for people coming from work that want to be applicant?

2038
01:47:42,600 --> 01:47:46,500
If if some people have to show up a little bit late for work

2039
01:47:46,533 --> 01:47:52,533
or after the 6:00, we will make sure to bump them to the end of the

2040
01:47:53,600 --> 01:47:54,700
interview process.

2041
01:47:54,700 --> 01:47:57,700
If they all say seven or later, then I guess we'll do it seven.

2042
01:47:58,500 --> 01:48:01,033
But at this time we'll say 6:00 on the 28th

2043
01:48:01,033 --> 01:48:04,033
and we'll be our special

2044
01:48:04,233 --> 01:48:05,533
board meeting.

2045
01:48:05,533 --> 01:48:08,367
One note from what the superintendent listed.

2046
01:48:08,367 --> 01:48:12,100
I think it's important that we have full transparency

2047
01:48:12,100 --> 01:48:15,834
on this process, inclusive of the deliberations of who selected.

2048
01:48:16,467 --> 01:48:20,266
My approach is to have no nonpublic session

2049
01:48:20,266 --> 01:48:24,266
for the deliberation or for the questions, and I just want to lay

2050
01:48:24,266 --> 01:48:27,600
that out, that that will be the process that we move forward with.

2051
01:48:27,800 --> 01:48:29,000
Unless if there is strong

2052
01:48:29,000 --> 01:48:32,767
pushback from the board that we need to have this in nonpublic.

2053
01:48:32,767 --> 01:48:33,433
Rita.

2054
01:48:33,433 --> 01:48:36,767
Yeah, I will share what I shared the last time around.

2055
01:48:36,767 --> 01:48:37,367
We did this.

2056
01:48:37,367 --> 01:48:42,467
I'm strongly against having the deliberations in public.

2057
01:48:43,400 --> 01:48:46,600
I, you know, as somebody who's hiring

2058
01:48:46,600 --> 01:48:49,900
somebody, that part is never public.

2059
01:48:50,000 --> 01:48:52,967
I don't think it's a thing of transparency.

2060
01:48:53,533 --> 01:48:56,500
I really think we talk about people.

2061
01:48:56,500 --> 01:48:58,200
We're going to talk about

2062
01:48:59,700 --> 01:49:02,133
those people

2063
01:49:02,133 --> 01:49:07,300
in public on recording, and you have to talk about things

2064
01:49:07,300 --> 01:49:12,467
that are not things that you would say in front of a large audience.

2065
01:49:12,467 --> 01:49:17,100
And if you even think about how we vote for our candidates,

2066
01:49:17,634 --> 01:49:23,700
they put their names out there and their eligibility, and people vote in private.

2067
01:49:23,767 --> 01:49:27,166
They're not having these conversations.

2068
01:49:27,767 --> 01:49:29,567
It's a private thing.

2069
01:49:29,567 --> 01:49:32,734
And I just think the HR standards of,

2070
01:49:33,867 --> 01:49:35,967
you know, those kinds of things don't get done

2071
01:49:35,967 --> 01:49:38,967
in public.

2072
01:49:39,000 --> 01:49:40,767
Adam, go ahead.

2073
01:49:40,767 --> 01:49:42,100
I just want to clarify first,

2074
01:49:42,100 --> 01:49:44,467
the appointment is just until the election and Mark.

2075
01:49:44,467 --> 01:49:45,834
Right. Correct, correct.

2076
01:49:45,834 --> 01:49:48,433
And then I just I want to echo what Rita said.

2077
01:49:48,433 --> 01:49:51,800
I'm strongly opposed to deliberating in public.

2078
01:49:52,433 --> 01:49:54,066
Really for everything you just said.

2079
01:49:54,066 --> 01:49:55,967
I'm not going to repeat everything, but.

2080
01:49:59,700 --> 01:50:00,834
My rebuttal to

2081
01:50:00,834 --> 01:50:04,467
what was discussed is just that this is not a higher this is not here.

2082
01:50:05,000 --> 01:50:07,066
This is an appointment of a position.

2083
01:50:07,066 --> 01:50:12,400
We get the same thing if we are, you know, the state is electing a Da

2084
01:50:12,400 --> 01:50:16,333
or if they are doing a consent of an individual that's being nominated,

2085
01:50:16,367 --> 01:50:20,533
it is always in public for the transparency that is needed.

2086
01:50:21,000 --> 01:50:24,266
Yes, we must be and we will be governed by our policies.

2087
01:50:24,266 --> 01:50:27,333
So again, no derogatory statements about any members

2088
01:50:27,333 --> 01:50:31,100
would be accepted in public as well as nonpublic.

2089
01:50:31,700 --> 01:50:36,467
But I just think that this is a political board

2090
01:50:36,533 --> 01:50:38,367
because it's a political position.

2091
01:50:38,367 --> 01:50:41,500
We are not individuals selecting our individual person.

2092
01:50:41,500 --> 01:50:45,367
We are a board selecting the best person that we think would fit into the position.

2093
01:50:46,433 --> 01:50:48,900
So I'm just trying to do what the state does

2094
01:50:48,900 --> 01:50:50,367
and what the federal government does.

2095
01:50:50,367 --> 01:50:55,600
And when we appoint a member of our board, that will be having chain.

2096
01:50:55,900 --> 01:50:59,266
I would just say, as I believe, the lone

2097
01:50:59,400 --> 01:51:02,400
member of the board who was appointed many moons ago.

2098
01:51:02,634 --> 01:51:04,734
All right. Last one standing. As. We do this all the time.

2099
01:51:04,734 --> 01:51:08,300
But but I.

2100
01:51:08,734 --> 01:51:11,266
Would have no problem doing it in public.

2101
01:51:11,266 --> 01:51:14,200
But I do understand from the HR perspective.

2102
01:51:14,200 --> 01:51:15,500
That.

2103
01:51:15,500 --> 01:51:16,500
I guess that perspective.

2104
01:51:16,500 --> 01:51:19,333
As well. So,

2105
01:51:19,333 --> 01:51:21,767
you. Know, I've been through the process and I remember.

2106
01:51:21,767 --> 01:51:24,567
It was nerve. Wracking and you're nervous. And.

2107
01:51:24,567 --> 01:51:26,400
But actually, if I'm the. Candidate.

2108
01:51:26,400 --> 01:51:30,166
I'd like to see what people are saying about me on TV when I leave.

2109
01:51:30,200 --> 01:51:32,066
But that's me.

2110
01:51:33,433 --> 01:51:37,000
My gut reaction is to agree with Rita and Adam.

2111
01:51:37,033 --> 01:51:38,467
I, I guess I follow up

2112
01:51:38,467 --> 01:51:41,133
question of being a rookie is you guys have done this before.

2113
01:51:41,133 --> 01:51:44,166
I know that for fact because I sat over there to do this once.

2114
01:51:44,600 --> 01:51:46,600
Thanks, by the way, for not voting me in.

2115
01:51:46,600 --> 01:51:49,600
What?

2116
01:51:50,133 --> 01:51:52,300
How was the reception the voters spoke?

2117
01:51:52,300 --> 01:51:54,033
How was the reception?

2118
01:51:54,033 --> 01:51:56,700
I presume we did it the way Bryan described. Right.

2119
01:51:56,700 --> 01:51:58,333
How was the reception?

2120
01:51:58,333 --> 01:52:02,100
Having that conversation in public was there?

2121
01:52:02,166 --> 01:52:03,900
I mean, was there any feedback on that?

2122
01:52:03,900 --> 01:52:06,300
The people loved it. They hated it, or.

2123
01:52:06,300 --> 01:52:07,934
We didn't do it in public.

2124
01:52:07,934 --> 01:52:09,667
We did it in nonpublic.

2125
01:52:09,667 --> 01:52:12,433
And I like that part like from a from a community perspective.

2126
01:52:12,433 --> 01:52:15,300
Is there any pushback for doing that in private?

2127
01:52:15,300 --> 01:52:16,567
No, no.

2128
01:52:18,567 --> 01:52:19,533
It's always much better.

2129
01:52:19,533 --> 01:52:20,500
There's always.

2130
01:52:20,500 --> 01:52:24,800
Members, I'm sure, get feedback through our networks that that are there.

2131
01:52:24,800 --> 01:52:28,767
But I remember during the time that you were applying for the position,

2132
01:52:28,767 --> 01:52:30,033
one of the questions that I asked

2133
01:52:30,033 --> 01:52:33,800
was, would you have a problem if we discuss the nomination in public?

2134
01:52:33,834 --> 01:52:37,033
And every member said, I have no problem with that,

2135
01:52:37,033 --> 01:52:41,233
and I would imagine that would be something that we would continue to

2136
01:52:41,266 --> 01:52:44,266
ask if we are going to have that deliberation in public.

2137
01:52:45,166 --> 01:52:46,734
Could you help, like

2138
01:52:46,734 --> 01:52:50,166
interview them in public and then go private?

2139
01:52:50,233 --> 01:52:52,600
That's what we had done in the past.

2140
01:52:52,600 --> 01:52:54,166
So you could do it.

2141
01:52:54,166 --> 01:52:55,700
You could do it in public.

2142
01:52:55,700 --> 01:52:57,734
You just have to be careful that there

2143
01:52:57,734 --> 01:53:00,734
you have to be very careful that these are people that are

2144
01:53:00,734 --> 01:53:05,800
that are coming in there volunteering to fulfill this term.

2145
01:53:05,934 --> 01:53:08,233
They're presenting you with a letter, their resume.

2146
01:53:08,233 --> 01:53:12,100
And I just we have to be careful not to have any, any kind of harmful

2147
01:53:12,100 --> 01:53:13,800
reputation discussion with people.

2148
01:53:13,800 --> 01:53:18,967
So if you're having a conversation and you think Dan might be

2149
01:53:19,033 --> 01:53:22,734
a great person to a point to the board, but another board member says

2150
01:53:22,767 --> 01:53:27,000
I'm concerned about his availability, seems like he's got a busy life.

2151
01:53:27,533 --> 01:53:28,867
You can't do that in public.

2152
01:53:28,867 --> 01:53:30,500
You just have to be really careful.

2153
01:53:30,500 --> 01:53:33,700
So if you want to do it in public, you can do it.

2154
01:53:33,734 --> 01:53:36,166
You just can't harm anyone's reputation.

2155
01:53:36,166 --> 01:53:40,133
So you could come together and you can have a very

2156
01:53:40,800 --> 01:53:45,133
vanilla conversation about who you're supporting and why,

2157
01:53:45,300 --> 01:53:47,033
but without the why,

2158
01:53:47,033 --> 01:53:50,667
because you're not going to be able to say, geez, I didn't think.

2159
01:53:50,667 --> 01:53:53,934
Dan, I thought Dan's background was weak in this area.

2160
01:53:53,934 --> 01:53:56,700
I think he doesn't understand this. I mean, hypothetically.

2161
01:53:58,033 --> 01:54:00,400
Here, here.

2162
01:54:00,400 --> 01:54:02,934
Now. How do you feel?

2163
01:54:02,934 --> 01:54:05,934
So I just want to tell you, you know.

2164
01:54:06,000 --> 01:54:09,567
And again, we don't know if we're going to have one person

2165
01:54:09,567 --> 01:54:13,166
or you're going to have 17 people, so you just don't know.

2166
01:54:13,333 --> 01:54:17,433
And if you got 8 or 10 people, and to be able to have

2167
01:54:17,600 --> 01:54:22,100
a thoughtful conversation in public about that, I would just caution you.

2168
01:54:23,400 --> 01:54:24,266
Jimmy.

2169
01:54:24,266 --> 01:54:27,767
I, I agree with my two friends here

2170
01:54:28,467 --> 01:54:31,467
because sometimes when you make a comment.

2171
01:54:31,934 --> 01:54:36,100
You mean it like terribly innocuous.

2172
01:54:36,600 --> 01:54:40,367
But that person who's hearing it or other people

2173
01:54:40,700 --> 01:54:44,200
look into that comment differently and

2174
01:54:45,233 --> 01:54:48,100
then, you know, you look like a terribly bad person

2175
01:54:48,100 --> 01:54:51,100
because of the way they're reading your comment,

2176
01:54:52,266 --> 01:54:55,600
because we all don't have the same mindsets.

2177
01:54:55,700 --> 01:54:58,567
So I think sometimes you could get yourself

2178
01:54:58,567 --> 01:55:02,767
into all kinds of trouble by saying things,

2179
01:55:04,567 --> 01:55:08,000
you know, just not meaning anything,

2180
01:55:08,200 --> 01:55:11,200
but that it coming out to other people as,

2181
01:55:11,266 --> 01:55:14,233
as being mean or.

2182
01:55:15,500 --> 01:55:16,333
Laura.

2183
01:55:16,333 --> 01:55:19,800
I might agreement with Jenny and Adam

2184
01:55:19,800 --> 01:55:24,634
and that I think it's so important that the discussion happens in public.

2185
01:55:24,667 --> 01:55:29,667
I mean, when we when you run for school board, you get the chance to speak.

2186
01:55:29,700 --> 01:55:32,567
That's so important. And for us to have a Q&A so important.

2187
01:55:32,567 --> 01:55:36,433
But I think for us to have a conversation and about a nonpublic

2188
01:55:36,934 --> 01:55:39,266
is very important for the candidates privacy.

2189
01:55:39,266 --> 01:55:42,266
I think that if we were to propose it that way, I would be afraid

2190
01:55:42,266 --> 01:55:45,600
that would be a barrier to people coming forward as well like that.

2191
01:55:45,600 --> 01:55:48,600
That just doesn't feel like a very welcoming,

2192
01:55:49,734 --> 01:55:52,266
just in my opinion, I would be worried about

2193
01:55:52,266 --> 01:55:56,066
how any conversation, how that could go just just in public

2194
01:55:56,100 --> 01:55:59,834
like that doesn't feel like we're respecting them.

2195
01:56:02,266 --> 01:56:05,867
I think now too, that where we're

2196
01:56:06,934 --> 01:56:09,133
trying to get a candidate

2197
01:56:09,133 --> 01:56:12,133
just before budgets

2198
01:56:12,400 --> 01:56:15,900
and we're having a person come in completely new

2199
01:56:16,066 --> 01:56:20,166
who has no clue about school boards, and we all know it takes

2200
01:56:20,166 --> 01:56:23,166
you at least a year to have a clue of what's going on.

2201
01:56:23,300 --> 01:56:30,233
If we're having a person come in and we're expecting them to jump in and

2202
01:56:30,800 --> 01:56:33,734
having a part in budgets

2203
01:56:33,734 --> 01:56:36,734
and all of the things that we're going to be talking about,

2204
01:56:37,266 --> 01:56:40,634
I think we have to vote

2205
01:56:40,634 --> 01:56:43,634
for somebody that we feel comfortable

2206
01:56:43,834 --> 01:56:47,767
that will fit on our team and will work on our team

2207
01:56:47,767 --> 01:56:52,100
and help us get to that budget that passes.

2208
01:56:52,100 --> 01:56:56,500
And so somebody may be just a wonderful person,

2209
01:56:56,500 --> 01:57:00,734
but if we don't think that that person can work with us and

2210
01:57:01,767 --> 01:57:04,433
help us bring a budget forth

2211
01:57:04,433 --> 01:57:08,100
that can get past, that's what we're looking for

2212
01:57:09,100 --> 01:57:14,467
at this point, because their term is up as soon as our budgets done.

2213
01:57:14,500 --> 01:57:18,500
So we're looking at a short term person

2214
01:57:18,500 --> 01:57:21,500
for a very specific,

2215
01:57:23,500 --> 01:57:24,967
problem.

2216
01:57:24,967 --> 01:57:29,567
So I think we have to be comfortable and not necessarily the

2217
01:57:30,100 --> 01:57:32,800
the community be comfortable with this person.

2218
01:57:32,800 --> 01:57:36,700
I mean, it would be nice if they were, but I think they have to understand

2219
01:57:36,700 --> 01:57:40,867
that we have a job that we have to do.

2220
01:57:40,900 --> 01:57:45,500
If our students want to have a good school year next year.

2221
01:57:45,500 --> 01:57:48,500
And I think that's more important than,

2222
01:57:49,900 --> 01:57:51,500
you know, looking completely

2223
01:57:51,500 --> 01:57:55,867
transparent, bringing people and listening, you know, in public

2224
01:57:55,934 --> 01:57:59,800
because I think we have a bigger job than that right now.

2225
01:58:01,367 --> 01:58:03,834
I thought.

2226
01:58:03,834 --> 01:58:07,266
Just to that point, I think we

2227
01:58:07,667 --> 01:58:12,467
we created the handout, what it means to run for school board.

2228
01:58:12,467 --> 01:58:15,667
I think this would be a great opportunity to share this

2229
01:58:15,667 --> 01:58:18,900
with anybody that's interested, so they know ahead of time.

2230
01:58:18,900 --> 01:58:21,567
I recall the last time we had to do this.

2231
01:58:21,567 --> 01:58:24,033
A lot of them had questions like this.

2232
01:58:24,033 --> 01:58:27,934
They didn't know how many meetings that they're signing up for.

2233
01:58:27,934 --> 01:58:30,100
So I think it would be really great to share that

2234
01:58:30,100 --> 01:58:34,100
when we make the announcement and put the information out there,

2235
01:58:34,100 --> 01:58:37,967
because then they know ahead of time what they're signing up for.

2236
01:58:38,800 --> 01:58:41,834
And the other one, and I don't mean this as a rebuttal,

2237
01:58:41,834 --> 01:58:47,000
but I just want to say that this is not a political position.

2238
01:58:47,900 --> 01:58:51,133
This is this is nonpartisan.

2239
01:58:51,200 --> 01:58:53,367
This is a position about the schools.

2240
01:58:53,367 --> 01:58:55,266
It's not one party or the other.

2241
01:58:55,266 --> 01:58:58,266
So I think that's important.

2242
01:58:58,300 --> 01:58:59,567
And I agree with you.

2243
01:58:59,567 --> 01:59:02,166
I don't think it's like a whole you got an R&D.

2244
01:59:02,166 --> 01:59:05,400
I don't mean that is a political I mean it's a voted position.

2245
01:59:05,400 --> 01:59:06,800
That's what I mean by political.

2246
01:59:08,166 --> 01:59:10,734
Any other questions?

2247
01:59:10,734 --> 01:59:12,600
I was more for all the transparency

2248
01:59:12,600 --> 01:59:15,634
until Brian brought up that I could be held.

2249
01:59:17,266 --> 01:59:18,867
Liable for.

2250
01:59:18,867 --> 01:59:20,433
Statements because I don't. Not you.

2251
01:59:20,433 --> 01:59:23,433
The board. Would be. Yeah. So so.

2252
01:59:23,634 --> 01:59:28,467
Maybe nonpublic is a better way to go, because Jack doesn't

2253
01:59:28,467 --> 01:59:30,033
always know how to use.

2254
01:59:30,033 --> 01:59:32,266
Only if I can just share.

2255
01:59:32,266 --> 01:59:33,533
The board members are aware of this.

2256
01:59:33,533 --> 01:59:35,333
Just maybe the public isn't.

2257
01:59:35,333 --> 01:59:38,800
The board can't meet in nonpublic to talk about board members.

2258
01:59:38,800 --> 01:59:42,800
So once someone is appointed or elected to the board,

2259
01:59:42,800 --> 01:59:47,333
you cannot have a conversation in nonpublic about a member of the body.

2260
01:59:47,333 --> 01:59:51,000
So until they're appointed you can.

2261
01:59:51,266 --> 01:59:56,133
So once they're appointed, if if there was a question about how Jared

2262
01:59:56,133 --> 01:59:59,767
did something or how Jenny did something, you could only talk about that

2263
01:59:59,767 --> 02:00:03,166
at this table in public session, you couldn't go into nonpublic.

2264
02:00:03,166 --> 02:00:07,900
But I just think and remember, you don't know how many you're going to get.

2265
02:00:07,900 --> 02:00:12,834
So you might sit in this room for an hour and you might have three great people,

2266
02:00:12,834 --> 02:00:14,800
and you're going to have a conversation and going to pick one.

2267
02:00:14,800 --> 02:00:18,166
Or you might sit in this room for four hours because you have 20 people

2268
02:00:18,166 --> 02:00:19,166
who want to come in

2269
02:00:19,166 --> 02:00:23,033
and be part of the board, and then you have to deliberate on all 20 of them.

2270
02:00:23,033 --> 02:00:27,934
And I just want to be mindful that I think the deliberations you do a nonprofit.

2271
02:00:29,634 --> 02:00:31,333
Any further questions?

2272
02:00:31,333 --> 02:00:36,667
I agree with what is said to I think with people coming in that

2273
02:00:36,867 --> 02:00:43,367
you need to be really upfront with the calendars that we have going on now

2274
02:00:43,367 --> 02:00:47,300
and that you're going to be coming to a Julian meetings,

2275
02:00:47,767 --> 02:00:52,166
less whatever committees that you've been put on and

2276
02:00:53,400 --> 02:00:57,700
you know, you're not coming in for two meetings per month

2277
02:00:59,000 --> 02:01:01,934
because a lot of people just think they're coming in for,

2278
02:01:01,934 --> 02:01:03,500
you know, two meetings per month.

2279
02:01:03,500 --> 02:01:05,734
And that's the obligation of school board.

2280
02:01:05,734 --> 02:01:06,867
It's not.

2281
02:01:06,867 --> 02:01:12,467
And this specialized one that we're doing right now during budget season,

2282
02:01:12,500 --> 02:01:15,567
I mean, you can just see all of the meetings that we have.

2283
02:01:15,734 --> 02:01:18,567
So a person that's running for

2284
02:01:18,567 --> 02:01:22,800
this has to know that they're going to put a lot of meeting time in.

2285
02:01:22,967 --> 02:01:27,133
It's not the regular two months, two meetings a month.

2286
02:01:27,133 --> 02:01:30,900
And, you know, a couple of committee meetings maybe.

2287
02:01:31,233 --> 02:01:32,600
And speaking of a committee meetings.

2288
02:01:32,600 --> 02:01:34,133
You know, with the new person coming in,

2289
02:01:34,133 --> 02:01:36,033
we want to make sure it's the best fit for them as well.

2290
02:01:36,033 --> 02:01:39,266
So we might have a little bit of reshuffling that may have to occur.

2291
02:01:39,300 --> 02:01:39,967
Yeah.

2292
02:01:39,967 --> 02:01:43,433
But I imagine that they you know, they go into where they they're needed

2293
02:01:43,433 --> 02:01:46,367
and we might have to accommodate some of that as well. Absolutely.

2294
02:01:47,934 --> 02:01:50,934
Any other questions or comments?

2295
02:01:51,533 --> 02:01:55,166
So this is board discretion.

2296
02:01:55,233 --> 02:01:59,367
I will accept a motion to overrule the chair to have a

2297
02:01:59,667 --> 02:02:01,133
deliberation and nonpublic.

2298
02:02:01,133 --> 02:02:05,233
But I will need that to be that motion to be made and seconded

2299
02:02:05,634 --> 02:02:09,667
at this point in time, to override the chair, to have the deliberation

2300
02:02:09,667 --> 02:02:12,667
for the appointment of this member to be in nonpublic.

2301
02:02:15,166 --> 02:02:17,767
All due respect to our chair,

2302
02:02:17,767 --> 02:02:22,266
I would like to make a motion that we do the deliberations in nonpublic.

2303
02:02:22,700 --> 02:02:23,166
Have a motion.

2304
02:02:23,166 --> 02:02:26,367
By due respect, I will second. Absolutely.

2305
02:02:26,400 --> 02:02:28,233
And this doesn't hurt me ego.

2306
02:02:28,233 --> 02:02:31,000
At all.

2307
02:02:31,000 --> 02:02:31,767
Absolutely not.

2308
02:02:31,767 --> 02:02:32,634
Just people that know me

2309
02:02:32,634 --> 02:02:32,934
know that

2310
02:02:32,934 --> 02:02:35,066
I've been pushing for certain things and this is one of them,

2311
02:02:35,066 --> 02:02:37,867
and I completely respect the decisions being made.

2312
02:02:37,867 --> 02:02:41,867
So with that, there is a motion and a second to override the chair

2313
02:02:41,867 --> 02:02:44,066
to have the deliberations and nonpublic.

2314
02:02:44,066 --> 02:02:45,867
Any further questions or comments?

2315
02:02:46,900 --> 02:02:49,033
Yes, Shane.

2316
02:02:49,033 --> 02:02:50,767
I think I'm going to abstain on this one.

2317
02:02:50,767 --> 02:02:53,166
Just a heads up.

2318
02:02:53,166 --> 02:02:56,166
I don't know, I just feel weird about the whole thing because I,

2319
02:02:56,333 --> 02:02:59,600
I'm kind of off of the transparency but also see the both sides.

2320
02:02:59,600 --> 02:03:02,000
So I'm going to abstain from this vote.

2321
02:03:02,000 --> 02:03:03,900
But I respect both sides of the argument.

2322
02:03:03,900 --> 02:03:06,767
And you I think you both made very valid arguments.

2323
02:03:06,767 --> 02:03:09,033
So thank you.

2324
02:03:09,033 --> 02:03:10,767
Any other comments?

2325
02:03:10,767 --> 02:03:12,266
Great. Seeing none. We'll call the roll.

2326
02:03:12,266 --> 02:03:15,300
So all those are overriding the chair and having the deliberations

2327
02:03:15,300 --> 02:03:19,433
for the appointed position to be in nonpublic signify by saying aye. Aye.

2328
02:03:19,834 --> 02:03:20,967
All those opposed.

2329
02:03:20,967 --> 02:03:23,500
Nay any abstentions.

2330
02:03:23,500 --> 02:03:26,367
Okay. So we got 711.

2331
02:03:26,367 --> 02:03:26,667
Great.

2332
02:03:26,667 --> 02:03:29,367
Thank you very much team and I appreciate it.

2333
02:03:29,367 --> 02:03:30,667
6166. One one.

2334
02:03:30,667 --> 02:03:31,700
There's only eight of. Us right now

2335
02:03:33,333 --> 02:03:36,300
one. Thank you Belinda and madam.

2336
02:03:37,166 --> 02:03:40,166
Great.

2337
02:03:43,433 --> 02:03:44,033
I appreciate it.

2338
02:03:44,033 --> 02:03:46,400
And honestly I think that was a great, great conversation.

2339
02:03:46,400 --> 02:03:47,133
Great debate.

2340
02:03:47,133 --> 02:03:48,333
Thank you team.

2341
02:03:48,333 --> 02:03:50,100
Okay so open house attendance.

2342
02:03:50,100 --> 02:03:55,567
So I know that we had the crash course of open houses to have board members there.

2343
02:03:55,567 --> 02:03:58,867
And again I appreciate Jack Shane Laura

2344
02:03:59,233 --> 02:04:02,066
for kind of taking up the mantle of doing this

2345
02:04:02,066 --> 02:04:06,266
without any kind of decisions, but looking at future ones.

2346
02:04:06,533 --> 02:04:08,333
Belinda, do we have coverage?

2347
02:04:08,333 --> 02:04:09,433
I know that Red has kind of

2348
02:04:09,433 --> 02:04:13,500
talked about earlier, but do we have coverage for MVVM on the 17th?

2349
02:04:13,567 --> 02:04:16,800
We're looking for at least two, if not three individuals.

2350
02:04:16,834 --> 02:04:22,133
We we have Jared and Adam signed up for the 17th.

2351
02:04:22,200 --> 02:04:22,634
Okay.

2352
02:04:22,634 --> 02:04:26,200
And we are happy to take an additional one because I know that.

2353
02:04:26,233 --> 02:04:27,300
We can have up to three.

2354
02:04:27,300 --> 02:04:28,367
Yeah, we can have up to three.

2355
02:04:28,367 --> 02:04:31,233
We can actually have up to four if needed.

2356
02:04:31,233 --> 02:04:35,500
But if we want to have a third, I would ask for people

2357
02:04:35,500 --> 02:04:39,967
to send an email to Rita and Belinda to get coverage.

2358
02:04:41,100 --> 02:04:42,367
That's the 17th.

2359
02:04:42,367 --> 02:04:44,233
What about the 22nd?

2360
02:04:44,233 --> 02:04:45,700
Do we have coverage of at least.

2361
02:04:45,700 --> 02:04:49,367
We've got Jenny and we have one opening.

2362
02:04:50,367 --> 02:04:55,200
So is anybody available to take the 22nd, which I believe is it Tuesday?

2363
02:04:55,233 --> 02:04:58,266
Tuesday? Yes, I know that. One second.

2364
02:04:58,867 --> 02:05:00,667
I can do the 22nd.

2365
02:05:00,667 --> 02:05:02,367
Dan can do the 22nd.

2366
02:05:02,367 --> 02:05:03,133
And Jack, you want.

2367
02:05:03,133 --> 02:05:06,233
To I'm out on the 22nd and the 29th.

2368
02:05:06,467 --> 02:05:08,967
Those are the budget committee meetings.

2369
02:05:08,967 --> 02:05:11,800
So let's get those early to Tom, right?

2370
02:05:11,800 --> 02:05:14,800
Yes, exactly.

2371
02:05:16,133 --> 02:05:16,767
Okay.

2372
02:05:16,767 --> 02:05:19,767
I can probably do the 17th okay.

2373
02:05:19,967 --> 02:05:21,734
So we got.

2374
02:05:21,734 --> 02:05:23,900
So the 17th we've got two.

2375
02:05:23,900 --> 02:05:25,500
So you'd be. A third. But yeah.

2376
02:05:25,500 --> 02:05:27,900
And yeah being the third would be good.

2377
02:05:27,900 --> 02:05:30,300
Yeah. And that's. That's very.

2378
02:05:30,300 --> 02:05:31,634
Now am I wearing my shirt.

2379
02:05:31,634 --> 02:05:34,133
Or not. Yes. Just wash it.

2380
02:05:36,634 --> 02:05:39,634
Between.

2381
02:05:40,734 --> 02:05:41,200
Okay.

2382
02:05:41,200 --> 02:05:44,200
So we have three people for the. 17th.

2383
02:05:44,567 --> 02:05:47,567
Two for the 22nd. Okay

2384
02:05:48,433 --> 02:05:49,934
Glenn. Let's go to Glenn Lake.

2385
02:05:49,934 --> 02:05:53,967
So we have Glenn Lake on the 29th from 530 to 630.

2386
02:05:54,000 --> 02:05:55,133
What day. Is that?

2387
02:05:55,133 --> 02:05:57,266
That's a Tuesday again.

2388
02:05:57,266 --> 02:05:58,967
Do we need some more for. The 29.

2389
02:05:58,967 --> 02:06:03,533
So I'm signed up for the 29th I think Jenny saying she's available.

2390
02:06:03,600 --> 02:06:06,133
To do the 29th if you want to put me on.

2391
02:06:06,133 --> 02:06:08,066
Okay, okay.

2392
02:06:08,066 --> 02:06:11,066
And that's only an hour.

2393
02:06:11,500 --> 02:06:12,133
It's great.

2394
02:06:12,133 --> 02:06:14,867
You'll have the little puppy there as well.

2395
02:06:14,867 --> 02:06:16,400
Steal the show.

2396
02:06:16,400 --> 02:06:16,867
Okay.

2397
02:06:16,867 --> 02:06:20,533
And then guess we have one day, which is October 1st.

2398
02:06:20,567 --> 02:06:21,767
And what day is that?

2399
02:06:21,767 --> 02:06:24,634
That's a Thursday.

2400
02:06:24,634 --> 02:06:26,767
And our open house.

2401
02:06:26,767 --> 02:06:28,867
We're going to have a table set up.

2402
02:06:28,867 --> 02:06:31,400
We're going to be on our nice Sue 19 tie dye shirt.

2403
02:06:31,400 --> 02:06:32,634
So you know who we are.

2404
02:06:32,634 --> 02:06:34,000
So don't wait to see it.

2405
02:06:34,000 --> 02:06:36,133
Gonna have my camera ready. So

2406
02:06:37,734 --> 02:06:39,500
Jared and

2407
02:06:39,500 --> 02:06:43,333
I am signed up for the high school.

2408
02:06:43,734 --> 02:06:46,734
So if anyone else is Laura.

2409
02:06:49,166 --> 02:06:50,734
I, I didn't.

2410
02:06:50,734 --> 02:06:52,967
Okay. But if you want. Okay.

2411
02:06:52,967 --> 02:06:55,967
So I've got you on.

2412
02:06:57,400 --> 02:07:00,266
The Mountain View on the 22nd.

2413
02:07:00,266 --> 02:07:04,166
And do you want to be a Glenn Lake or there's room.

2414
02:07:04,667 --> 02:07:06,000
Yeah. That's fine.

2415
02:07:06,000 --> 02:07:10,867
If we can have up to four people, if we go five, then we have to have a quorum.

2416
02:07:10,867 --> 02:07:12,200
And it's just not what.

2417
02:07:12,200 --> 02:07:15,166
We want to meet. Yes.

2418
02:07:15,233 --> 02:07:18,367
So I mean three, I think three would be great for

2419
02:07:19,967 --> 02:07:22,300
getting pushed, but no.

2420
02:07:22,300 --> 02:07:24,667
And I appreciate that this is something new that we're trying.

2421
02:07:24,667 --> 02:07:28,133
And I think it's been received very well by the individuals coming up.

2422
02:07:28,767 --> 02:07:32,300
And I think as we continue to kind of iterate through these,

2423
02:07:32,300 --> 02:07:35,333
I think it will be very beneficial for everybody.

2424
02:07:35,367 --> 02:07:39,634
And I'm happy to send this out with everybody's name in it.

2425
02:07:39,634 --> 02:07:45,333
And if if you want to be at any of the other ones, just let me know.

2426
02:07:46,533 --> 02:07:49,100
Or just show up with the shirt on.

2427
02:07:49,100 --> 02:07:51,166
And have the shirt on.

2428
02:07:51,166 --> 02:07:53,133
Okay.

2429
02:07:53,133 --> 02:07:57,700
Any further questions, comments about even the process that we've gone through?

2430
02:07:57,700 --> 02:08:00,500
I know we've talked about a few times.

2431
02:08:00,500 --> 02:08:02,800
Okay, we'll move on to staffing.

2432
02:08:02,800 --> 02:08:06,433
So on the staffing sheet this evening, I'm very pleased that we have

2433
02:08:06,433 --> 02:08:12,667
123456789 student observers coming to Goffstown High School.

2434
02:08:12,800 --> 02:08:13,900
These are all Southern

2435
02:08:13,900 --> 02:08:17,133
New Hampshire University students who are aspiring educators.

2436
02:08:17,133 --> 02:08:22,867
So we continue to hope and encourage young folks to continue to go into teaching.

2437
02:08:22,867 --> 02:08:26,767
So no action required of the board for your approval this evening.

2438
02:08:26,767 --> 02:08:30,100
And because this is kind of a long, a long list, I'm hoping that

2439
02:08:30,100 --> 02:08:33,166
you'll just approve the staffing sheet without me reading all these.

2440
02:08:33,400 --> 02:08:37,634
But we have a few folks leaving and some more folks coming in,

2441
02:08:37,634 --> 02:08:43,200
and we also have our co-curricular sports and non-sports nominations.

2442
02:08:44,967 --> 02:08:45,800
What questions?

2443
02:08:45,800 --> 02:08:48,834
Or just just a curious question,

2444
02:08:49,400 --> 02:08:52,333
are any of the student observers from Goffstown?

2445
02:08:52,333 --> 02:08:54,333
Brian.

2446
02:08:54,333 --> 02:08:56,367
I did not recognize any of these names.

2447
02:08:56,367 --> 02:08:58,734
Mrs. bean, do you recognize any of these, Mrs.

2448
02:08:58,734 --> 02:09:00,100
Koller?

2449
02:09:00,100 --> 02:09:01,000
I do not.

2450
02:09:01,000 --> 02:09:04,600
Okay, just just curious as to if we had kids.

2451
02:09:04,600 --> 02:09:04,900
Coming.

2452
02:09:04,900 --> 02:09:07,333
Back, but I think it's just a familiar sounding name.

2453
02:09:07,333 --> 02:09:09,200
Okay.

2454
02:09:09,200 --> 02:09:09,900
Other questions.

2455
02:09:09,900 --> 02:09:11,834
Or comments. Is a comment. Comment.

2456
02:09:11,834 --> 02:09:13,000
Go ahead.

2457
02:09:13,000 --> 02:09:18,700
Just want to point out Brenna on the soccer boys team be a great job.

2458
02:09:19,066 --> 02:09:21,700
That's all.

2459
02:09:21,700 --> 02:09:22,266
Big fan.

2460
02:09:22,266 --> 02:09:25,266
Thank you Dan.

2461
02:09:26,100 --> 02:09:29,100
Okay well I will accept. A

2462
02:09:29,767 --> 02:09:32,734
the approvals as presented.

2463
02:09:32,734 --> 02:09:34,900
So we'd like to make the motion I'm sorry Jenny.

2464
02:09:34,900 --> 02:09:39,066
Yep. Do we I saw in our information

2465
02:09:39,066 --> 02:09:42,033
tonight that we have

2466
02:09:42,367 --> 02:09:45,800
Eagle Scout that did our Crest country course.

2467
02:09:46,200 --> 02:09:50,600
I don't see a cross country advisor.

2468
02:09:50,634 --> 02:09:51,600
Yeah. It's already.

2469
02:09:51,600 --> 02:09:52,300
In place.

2470
02:09:52,300 --> 02:09:55,100
It's already. In place. Awesome. So we do have the. Team going.

2471
02:09:55,100 --> 02:09:55,400
We do.

2472
02:09:56,400 --> 02:09:57,033
Thank you.

2473
02:09:57,033 --> 02:10:01,133
And I have not seen the course, so I'm excited to go out

2474
02:10:01,133 --> 02:10:04,533
and actually see and get on the course myself.

2475
02:10:07,166 --> 02:10:09,500
I'll make a motion to.

2476
02:10:09,500 --> 02:10:10,266
No. No no I was.

2477
02:10:10,266 --> 02:10:12,333
Going to motion.

2478
02:10:12,333 --> 02:10:14,300
I want to thunder.

2479
02:10:14,300 --> 02:10:14,967
All right.

2480
02:10:14,967 --> 02:10:17,967
I'll make a motion to approve

2481
02:10:18,333 --> 02:10:21,333
the staffing sheet as presented by the superintendent.

2482
02:10:21,400 --> 02:10:23,266
Which by Shane, seconded by Rita. Yes.

2483
02:10:23,266 --> 02:10:24,233
Sorry.

2484
02:10:24,233 --> 02:10:27,033
You. Further questions and comments.

2485
02:10:27,033 --> 02:10:29,834
All those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye.

2486
02:10:29,834 --> 02:10:32,133
Any opposed? Any abstentions?

2487
02:10:32,133 --> 02:10:33,834
We are unanimous.

2488
02:10:33,834 --> 02:10:34,367
Okay.

2489
02:10:34,367 --> 02:10:37,100
So three things.

2490
02:10:37,100 --> 02:10:40,100
Okay. Here's my list.

2491
02:10:40,333 --> 02:10:42,867
First thing, the Maple

2492
02:10:42,867 --> 02:10:45,867
Ave academic advancement. Yes.

2493
02:10:46,266 --> 02:10:47,266
Second thing.

2494
02:10:47,266 --> 02:10:51,033
And again you can vote any of these guys off the island.

2495
02:10:51,100 --> 02:10:56,667
Second is the presentation of the GHS timber frame project.

2496
02:10:56,734 --> 02:10:59,867
We they have been on the list before when we approved it.

2497
02:10:59,867 --> 02:11:03,333
But this will be the end of the project.

2498
02:11:03,433 --> 02:11:05,233
Number three has got to be the parking lot right.

2499
02:11:05,233 --> 02:11:07,767
The ongoing. Oh he knows long as the.

2500
02:11:08,967 --> 02:11:12,333
It was the last meeting we put the parking lot.

2501
02:11:12,433 --> 02:11:16,467
So I actually put the not so much

2502
02:11:16,467 --> 02:11:20,133
the board member resignation but that whole discussion.

2503
02:11:20,233 --> 02:11:22,900
Okay wait wait wait wait wait wait.

2504
02:11:22,900 --> 02:11:27,967
Through frugal administration of the school, we have saved the taxpayers

2505
02:11:27,967 --> 02:11:32,066
1.7 $1.689 million into the next year.

2506
02:11:32,100 --> 02:11:33,900
We're not going to call that out.

2507
02:11:33,900 --> 02:11:35,533
It's not necessarily a saving.

2508
02:11:35,533 --> 02:11:37,233
It's a it's off the tax. Right.

2509
02:11:37,233 --> 02:11:40,000
It's it. Is still the lowest K.

2510
02:11:40,000 --> 02:11:41,233
To 12.

2511
02:11:41,233 --> 02:11:42,767
Cost in the state.

2512
02:11:42,767 --> 02:11:44,467
So yes, it is saving.

2513
02:11:44,467 --> 02:11:47,467
Just the

2514
02:11:47,533 --> 02:11:48,734
the pavilion.

2515
02:11:48,734 --> 02:11:50,500
Can we mention in there that Ms.

2516
02:11:50,500 --> 02:11:52,400
is going to be building or they're going to be.

2517
02:11:52,400 --> 02:11:55,033
Because it's all part of the same thing.

2518
02:11:55,033 --> 02:12:01,233
So in my my 30 character limit I'll try to fit that in.

2519
02:12:02,800 --> 02:12:04,166
The other thing

2520
02:12:04,166 --> 02:12:09,667
for Dan, I'll just share that the PNC is talking about

2521
02:12:10,066 --> 02:12:14,734
not limiting it to three things, but to do kind of a summary

2522
02:12:14,734 --> 02:12:20,133
of the highlights of what we think is the most important, but more to come.

2523
02:12:20,133 --> 02:12:23,000
It's not a developed idea, but hold your thought.

2524
02:12:23,000 --> 02:12:25,100
You know of a place in the future.

2525
02:12:25,100 --> 02:12:28,100
I'll give you 15 minutes. Yeah.

2526
02:12:28,767 --> 02:12:30,300
So three things.

2527
02:12:30,300 --> 02:12:32,900
Just something I know we're kind of like try to get for.

2528
02:12:32,900 --> 02:12:33,900
Okay.

2529
02:12:33,900 --> 02:12:37,567
So the three things I have that I'm listening.

2530
02:12:37,567 --> 02:12:39,300
You guys decide what you want.

2531
02:12:39,300 --> 02:12:44,767
The the Maple Ave academic advancement, the president.

2532
02:12:44,834 --> 02:12:46,634
Bartlett. You mean.

2533
02:12:46,634 --> 02:12:49,634
I'm sorry.

2534
02:12:49,767 --> 02:12:52,500
Corrected

2535
02:12:52,500 --> 02:12:55,333
the presentation of the timber frame

2536
02:12:55,333 --> 02:12:59,367
project and subsequent approval of the project at mEMS.

2537
02:12:59,400 --> 02:13:03,233
And the third is the process for appointing

2538
02:13:03,233 --> 02:13:06,934
a new board member due to. The.

2539
02:13:07,333 --> 02:13:08,033
Lock it in.

2540
02:13:08,033 --> 02:13:09,200
Okay.

2541
02:13:09,200 --> 02:13:11,800
Now, try to get this out by tomorrow.

2542
02:13:13,800 --> 02:13:14,600
Okay?

2543
02:13:14,600 --> 02:13:16,000
We do have nonpublic.

2544
02:13:16,000 --> 02:13:17,934
We have three sections of nonpublic.

2545
02:13:17,934 --> 02:13:22,667
