1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,400
No, it was not a tenant. Well, I was telling you.

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,020
Seven or seven on March 16,

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:13,540
twenty-one, six and I called all the boarded, jumps and thousand boarded directors. We were located at

4
00:00:13,540 --> 00:00:19,400
Board of Trustees on quite South Angel Street in case of Utah. And present this keep-baser.

5
00:00:20,340 --> 00:00:22,020
Katie Browning. Hi, Natalie.

6
00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:31,360
I want to open and Nicole Jones on line and Don McKeon line.

7
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:42,580
Are there any proposed changes to the January 12th?

8
00:00:45,460 --> 00:00:50,780
It's not that I would move to approve the January 12th and 6th floor.

9
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,590
Okay, policy governance.

10
00:01:07,350 --> 00:01:14,930
Is this just a review of this? It's just a review. I'm sorry. I didn't include it in there. It just is a really big document.

11
00:01:33,090 --> 00:01:36,750
It's not in policy governance. It's a separate policy.

12
00:01:54,890 --> 00:02:02,470
So the end is that it talks about 1.2, 1.3, so it's just more excellence, 1.4,

13
00:02:02,730 --> 00:02:07,650
clinical disabilities, 1.6, community involvement, and so on, so it's full culture.

14
00:02:08,790 --> 00:02:18,630
Those are central to what we're trying to achieve, and I don't think there have been any

15
00:02:18,630 --> 00:02:24,190
proposed changes to any of those. I know that citizenship, more excellence,

16
00:02:24,390 --> 00:02:29,350
principle of liberty, part of some of the pillars that we talked about,

17
00:02:29,510 --> 00:02:37,890
the basis of the school, the law and the involvement of the school culture.

18
00:02:39,330 --> 00:02:45,310
Is there anything that anybody has heard in the community that

19
00:02:45,310 --> 00:02:49,110
I mean I need to address the interaction with any of those.

20
00:02:51,900 --> 00:02:56,440
I think they still stand in with the reader and me.

21
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,180
Reinforced with all of these stuff.

22
00:03:00,980 --> 00:03:01,260
Agreed.

23
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,500
I just signed to pay the next year's reader and me.

24
00:03:05,100 --> 00:03:05,460
Excellent.

25
00:03:06,140 --> 00:03:06,440
Yeah.

26
00:03:06,660 --> 00:03:12,700
I was exposed to the reader and me several years ago before the school.

27
00:03:16,260 --> 00:03:24,140
I was really excited when that idea came to the school, so I was really, really good.

28
00:03:25,060 --> 00:03:28,740
And I think a lot of people are drawn in the school because of the difficulty of that,

29
00:03:28,920 --> 00:03:34,100
but in this case, it kind of works out as if it's the demolished school.

30
00:03:37,380 --> 00:03:37,860
So,

31
00:03:41,990 --> 00:03:45,410
as a protection, so it's exactly the limitations on two points.

32
00:03:45,490 --> 00:03:50,310
So, as a protection, we've been doing a pretty good job, I think there have been, we've

33
00:03:50,310 --> 00:03:56,130
done some changes on the limits to increase the limits over the years, but I think other than

34
00:03:56,130 --> 00:03:57,770
that, there's been some place.

35
00:04:00,670 --> 00:04:03,250
Any other comments on policy going in?

36
00:04:03,990 --> 00:04:05,250
Nicole said a greet.

37
00:04:24,450 --> 00:04:29,330
I can give a director's report sorry I just couldn't hear very well I agree

38
00:04:29,330 --> 00:04:32,250
the posting that you guys were saying, but also I couldn't hear very well, so, so, sorry.

39
00:04:33,190 --> 00:04:36,650
It's just, we're 10 z apart, or 15 z apart.

40
00:04:37,210 --> 00:04:37,810
Oh, sorry.

41
00:04:39,370 --> 00:04:41,130
No, I'm happy to give a director's report.

42
00:04:41,990 --> 00:04:42,390
Okay.

43
00:04:42,730 --> 00:04:43,190
You're on.

44
00:04:43,570 --> 00:04:43,890
Okay.

45
00:04:44,070 --> 00:04:44,270
Perfect.

46
00:04:45,710 --> 00:04:49,430
And I'm so sorry for saying, I'm so sorry.

47
00:04:50,770 --> 00:04:51,310
I'm sorry.

48
00:04:51,850 --> 00:04:53,430
Thanks for being, thanks for being so nice about it.

49
00:04:54,050 --> 00:04:54,450
Okay.

50
00:04:54,450 --> 00:05:01,630
So we've had, it kind of feels like a whirlwind of a lot of things since our last word meeting in

51
00:05:01,630 --> 00:05:08,990
January. It's been really, really busy at the school with so many good things. And so I'll just

52
00:05:08,990 --> 00:05:13,450
going to give you an update on some of the things that have happened at the school since then.

53
00:05:14,610 --> 00:05:20,410
Also kind of where we're at, let me see if I can get the zoomed go away so I can look at my notes.

54
00:05:20,410 --> 00:05:25,030
Also kind of where we're at with enrollment for next year and kind of some of the things

55
00:05:25,030 --> 00:05:27,090
that I'm thinking about for that.

56
00:05:28,030 --> 00:05:40,750
So first wanted to give an update on so since January we have had a couple of PCBL visits.

57
00:05:41,210 --> 00:05:49,710
These visits entail like observations and professional development and what our teachers are really

58
00:05:49,710 --> 00:05:55,750
focusing on through the coaching and training that they're receiving, is they're really focusing on

59
00:05:57,510 --> 00:06:02,850
having targeted explicit instruction that is tied a little bit more closely to the standards,

60
00:06:02,850 --> 00:06:11,710
especially with the New Language Arts Center being a little bit better about high priority

61
00:06:11,710 --> 00:06:17,950
themes and the content that you need to be hitting the most, and then they are also focusing on

62
00:06:19,350 --> 00:06:24,670
Deciding, you know, sometimes PCBL models are competency-based learning kind of gets a

63
00:06:24,670 --> 00:06:28,770
bad rap, but that's not really what we're going towards, but we are having teachers focus

64
00:06:28,770 --> 00:06:34,650
on, okay, when you teach today, and you decide to teach about this particular topic, you know,

65
00:06:34,790 --> 00:06:38,630
what's really most important for students to be able to learn and how are they going

66
00:06:38,630 --> 00:06:42,930
to demonstrate that, and then giving them multiple ways to learn it and to demonstrate.

67
00:06:42,930 --> 00:06:47,990
And so that's kind of been our focus through our PCVL invitation.

68
00:06:48,290 --> 00:06:50,390
That was our grant that we got this year for.

69
00:06:50,510 --> 00:06:51,890
It is a pretty big sum of money.

70
00:06:52,430 --> 00:06:56,630
And so we did a little bit of it the first of the year, but really since we've come back

71
00:06:56,630 --> 00:06:59,150
from winter break, we've hit it really hard.

72
00:07:00,770 --> 00:07:06,110
And we're seeing through these visits and observations, we're seeing a lot of growth in

73
00:07:06,110 --> 00:07:12,690
our teachers and through our PLCs and conversations, we're really excited about, you know, all of

74
00:07:12,690 --> 00:07:17,310
teachers are kind of at a different place with implementation and depending on the grade level

75
00:07:17,310 --> 00:07:23,490
they teach and the content that they kind of focus on, they're kind of implementing it at

76
00:07:23,490 --> 00:07:28,770
different levels, but everybody is making really great growth towards that and we've seen

77
00:07:29,450 --> 00:07:37,390
some really great themes in instruction. We're also seeing better use of technology and technology

78
00:07:37,390 --> 00:07:43,290
to demonstrate learning. Typically in the past, our technology use, especially as we worked

79
00:07:43,290 --> 00:07:49,290
so hard to become a one-to-one school, was getting students into our adaptive learning programs

80
00:07:49,290 --> 00:07:53,670
where, you know, they could log into a math program and the math program would kind of measure

81
00:07:53,670 --> 00:07:58,050
where they're at and then give them material and practice on the things that they needed and

82
00:07:58,050 --> 00:08:03,090
kind of go from there, same thing with language arts. And that's good, that's a good use of the tool,

83
00:08:03,090 --> 00:08:06,270
but when they leave us and go to like secondary,

84
00:08:06,990 --> 00:08:08,890
they're going to have to demonstrate

85
00:08:08,890 --> 00:08:11,210
their learning and their knowledge using technology.

86
00:08:11,890 --> 00:08:13,250
And that's a little bit different.

87
00:08:13,990 --> 00:08:16,910
And our PCBL invitation is allowing

88
00:08:16,910 --> 00:08:19,650
a lot of our students, especially grades three and up,

89
00:08:20,150 --> 00:08:21,850
to do a little bit more of that.

90
00:08:22,110 --> 00:08:24,010
And like I said, this professional development and coaching

91
00:08:24,010 --> 00:08:26,890
we're having is doing a great job with that.

92
00:08:27,450 --> 00:08:29,690
And so that's been super great.

93
00:08:29,690 --> 00:08:37,170
we hosted a leader in the professional day for other schools and to come and visit our school.

94
00:08:38,070 --> 00:08:42,510
And while they were at our school, they received leader in the training from Franklin Covey,

95
00:08:42,510 --> 00:08:49,510
but also as part of it, they did tours around our school. They observed our teachers teaching leader

96
00:08:49,510 --> 00:08:55,190
in me lessons. They watched our video announcements that we do during the day. They watched some of our

97
00:08:55,190 --> 00:09:02,070
student crews in action. The purpose of this day is to either support and help schools

98
00:09:02,070 --> 00:09:08,090
who are interested in doing leader in me kind of see what it could look like and then

99
00:09:08,090 --> 00:09:12,570
do professional development training during the day that kind of correlates that. And

100
00:09:12,570 --> 00:09:17,450
or sometimes the schools that come, they're schools who already do leader in me, but are

101
00:09:17,450 --> 00:09:21,950
feel kind of stuck or don't really know how to implement pieces that maybe aren't working

102
00:09:21,950 --> 00:09:27,770
for them or whatever. Anyways, so that was really successful. We had we had charter schools,

103
00:09:27,910 --> 00:09:35,370
we had Ogden School District, we had schools from Weber School District and it was a really

104
00:09:35,370 --> 00:09:40,030
great experience for our teachers who got to kind of share what they're doing with leader in me

105
00:09:40,030 --> 00:09:44,550
and how they love it and what they feel like it's doing for our students. We had student-led tours

106
00:09:44,550 --> 00:09:51,810
that went really well and those students were able to share kind of like why they think leader

107
00:09:51,810 --> 00:09:58,170
me makes our school so great and you know how they're contributing and the ownership and stuff they

108
00:09:58,170 --> 00:10:03,130
feel like we had students you know something that we do in February is our parents due conferences

109
00:10:03,130 --> 00:10:06,830
and we have student-led conferences where they share like their leadership notebooks and what they're

110
00:10:06,830 --> 00:10:12,490
learning and where they're at and that was something that we did. A big takeaway is there was a

111
00:10:12,490 --> 00:10:18,250
group that went to a second grade classroom and they walked away and were so impressed with

112
00:10:18,250 --> 00:10:21,830
with the second graders who could talk about their wigs,

113
00:10:21,890 --> 00:10:23,330
which are their wildly important goals,

114
00:10:23,550 --> 00:10:25,310
they could talk about what they were trying

115
00:10:25,310 --> 00:10:26,470
to accomplish this year.

116
00:10:26,610 --> 00:10:28,690
They could use their growth charts in there

117
00:10:28,690 --> 00:10:32,990
to talk about where they're at in their learning,

118
00:10:33,130 --> 00:10:35,530
what their strengths are, kind of what they know,

119
00:10:37,810 --> 00:10:40,050
their work on skills are in school

120
00:10:40,050 --> 00:10:42,590
and what they're doing to support that.

121
00:10:42,990 --> 00:10:45,010
And so that was a really great day.

122
00:10:45,310 --> 00:10:46,730
We've also had leader in me,

123
00:10:46,730 --> 00:10:52,590
professional development for our teachers. Two days since then one was to kind of help

124
00:10:52,590 --> 00:10:57,130
reinforce and boost leader in me like seven habit principles with our teachers and kind

125
00:10:57,130 --> 00:11:04,630
of just help them remember that leader in me is inside out like you could teach the lessons

126
00:11:04,630 --> 00:11:08,590
every day and tell students how to be effective human beings but if you're not living it first

127
00:11:08,590 --> 00:11:12,370
or if you're not practicing it it's we're not going to be as effective so we kind of did

128
00:11:12,370 --> 00:11:17,890
that and then also because we've completed our three-year cycle with leader

129
00:11:17,890 --> 00:11:22,350
in me, the next step is to work towards possibly becoming a lighthouse leader

130
00:11:22,350 --> 00:11:25,730
in me school, which is this whole process. And so he came out with our

131
00:11:25,730 --> 00:11:28,670
lighthouse team and talked about what next steps would that, for that would be

132
00:11:28,670 --> 00:11:32,550
over the next like year or so. We had our parents with their conferences that we

133
00:11:32,550 --> 00:11:37,690
do in February. I think I sent the percentage out to the board, right?

134
00:11:37,690 --> 00:11:45,030
Did I or am I dreaming that I did that? Our percentage attendance for parents

135
00:11:45,030 --> 00:11:50,010
into conferences for this time I believe was 92% which is actually really great

136
00:11:50,010 --> 00:11:54,690
for our second parent to to conference. Our second one is not nearly like people

137
00:11:54,690 --> 00:11:58,190
come but it's not quite as highly attended as our November one but we had great

138
00:11:58,190 --> 00:12:03,930
attendance. This time most people who missed were either out of town or like have

139
00:12:03,930 --> 00:12:15,130
sicknesses that they can't get over. And so we had that as well. Let's see. We input. Oh, our academic

140
00:12:17,490 --> 00:12:22,090
committee that's like it's run by our academic portion of our lighthouse team and then it has

141
00:12:22,090 --> 00:12:32,710
parent volunteers. They hosted our reading event. Donuts with grownups and we had the most amazing

142
00:12:32,710 --> 00:12:39,450
turned out. We had so many people and come and read with our kids and have donuts and our school

143
00:12:39,450 --> 00:12:44,870
is just it reminds me how not big enough it is for things like that but it was awesome to just

144
00:12:44,870 --> 00:12:50,490
see so many different members of students families. They're reading with them and supporting them

145
00:12:50,490 --> 00:12:56,890
so that was a great success. It was really completely handled by my teachers and the parents which was

146
00:12:56,890 --> 00:13:03,410
kind of fun to see them just really kind of take that on. And we are wrapping up the third

147
00:13:03,410 --> 00:13:08,510
term already, which is crazy. So I'm getting ready to start, you know, our testing schedule

148
00:13:08,510 --> 00:13:14,290
from when we come back from spring break and stuff, which is kind of crazy. It is flying, flying

149
00:13:14,290 --> 00:13:25,310
via for enrollment. So we run the lottery for the first time in January, and then also we run

150
00:13:25,310 --> 00:13:32,690
subsequent lotteries after that and Dawn had asked if there was a way that we

151
00:13:32,690 --> 00:13:37,710
could track kind of where we're at right now compared to where we were at last

152
00:13:37,710 --> 00:13:43,390
year as we look forward to next school year and Kristi has been looking into it but

153
00:13:43,390 --> 00:13:49,690
there isn't really a way to real-time you know on March 16th last year this is

154
00:13:49,690 --> 00:13:57,070
kind of where we were at, but what she found was we can compare, you know, the total

155
00:13:57,070 --> 00:14:03,170
number of people that we pulled in the lottery, um, ones who accepted, ones who declined,

156
00:14:04,070 --> 00:14:08,770
and then kind of compare that to where we're at right now, as far as new enrollment and

157
00:14:08,770 --> 00:14:15,230
new interest. And today, she and I looked at that and I don't want to be overly optimistic

158
00:14:15,230 --> 00:14:19,490
because, you know, me, I'm way on the conservative side when it comes to planning for next year's

159
00:14:19,490 --> 00:14:22,570
I've just learned too much in the last 10 to 12 years.

160
00:14:22,950 --> 00:14:25,910
But we're actually looking really, really good

161
00:14:25,910 --> 00:14:29,430
and really strong for at least being

162
00:14:29,430 --> 00:14:31,890
where we were at last year, if not better.

163
00:14:32,430 --> 00:14:36,470
We're almost at the same numbers as far as new interest

164
00:14:37,050 --> 00:14:41,430
as we were in all of last year to December 2025

165
00:14:41,430 --> 00:14:44,830
like as far as using last year's lottery versus now.

166
00:14:44,830 --> 00:14:56,090
and our rate of acceptance is like 50, 65% higher. But again, it's not a real-time comparison,

167
00:14:56,510 --> 00:14:59,890
so while it looks really positive and great, I...

168
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:29,080
We don't know that it's accurate. Also, people change their minds all the time. Like, right now, our retention looks really good for next year, but we know people will change their mind all the way up till the first day of school. So in regards to that, my plan right now as we look towards next year, because I am getting ready to do my letters of intent. And then as soon as dawn has more finalized numbers for next year, we'll start looking at creating agreements. The WP is a little bit lower than

169
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:33,400
And you know, kind of expected or lower than it has been in the past.

170
00:15:33,780 --> 00:15:38,020
And so taking that into account and just kind of our general trend in enrollment and

171
00:15:38,020 --> 00:15:44,820
the trends we're seeing in the area, my plan is to still budget very conservatively for

172
00:15:44,820 --> 00:15:45,400
next year.

173
00:15:45,980 --> 00:15:51,240
It's my plan is to budget based on last year's hold harmless or this year's hold harmless

174
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:55,280
numbers that we will most likely be able to rely on for sure.

175
00:15:55,280 --> 00:16:05,940
And then if we are higher than that, wonderful, that's always great, but I just really like to be conservative on the safe side.

176
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:14,060
So, oh, and I was going to say we have been doing our school tours. We do a few of them a week.

177
00:16:14,060 --> 00:16:21,200
their student led like they were last year and our reception has been so great.

178
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,960
People really have just loved being in our school and they're so impressed with our students

179
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:30,640
who can talk about school and talk about what they're learning and talk about their role

180
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:37,760
here. Like what they love about it, how they feel like they matter. So that's been really

181
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:42,840
positive always. Like I just I feel like we have really great things happening and so if

182
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,200
people choose us, they're going to be really happy with what they're getting.

183
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,260
So does anybody have any questions on that somewhat lengthy update?

184
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,940
The only question I have is what's the lottery number out right now for next year?

185
00:17:00,820 --> 00:17:08,620
Okay, and remember, it's not super accurate because they, Kristy does kind of that, not weird

186
00:17:08,620 --> 00:17:15,520
in a bad way, but just like, I can only see them if they've brought in paperwork and stuff

187
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:21,000
and lots of people don't bring in paperwork until much later, but they're not

188
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:26,080
considered registered until we have all of that. So it's like accurate-ish but

189
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:31,120
not that accurate if that makes sense. Right now it says 535.

190
00:17:32,980 --> 00:17:41,320
Okay, that's not too bad. No, and I I'm trying really hard to feel like it's a good

191
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:47,040
memory but I feel like that is higher than last year based on what I remember talking about

192
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:51,500
and like I knew last year at this time even without lottery numbers and stuff just based on the

193
00:17:51,500 --> 00:17:57,100
conversations in the surrounding schools in our local school district that just enrollment in

194
00:17:57,100 --> 00:18:11,140
general was trending down and I kind of feel like our numbers were lower last year but it's just

195
00:18:11,140 --> 00:18:19,100
That's kind of what I remember and then being kind of nervous that we were in a drop below five obviously, but I could be I could be a little bit off.

196
00:18:19,220 --> 00:18:31,680
So our kindergarten numbers look for sure better than last year, even just based on the total number of kindergartners who expressed interest last year.

197
00:18:32,540 --> 00:18:39,440
And then the ones who say versus the ones that declined were almost at the total number of kindergartners last year.

198
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,620
like all the way through December and we're only in March, if that makes sense.

199
00:18:43,780 --> 00:18:47,960
So the number that I'm comparing it to is like everyone who applied in the kindergarten

200
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:52,160
lottery between last year, January and December, you know, so like literally a whole

201
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:52,760
12 months.

202
00:18:53,400 --> 00:19:00,080
And then everyone who's applied since like January 1st, this year, tell now, which is March.

203
00:19:00,540 --> 00:19:02,160
So that is really positive.

204
00:19:02,300 --> 00:19:06,740
And I'm hoping like when they talk about the declining birth rates, I know they were specifically

205
00:19:06,740 --> 00:19:12,760
talking about starting like last year's numbers being low but I don't know if that's like

206
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,500
last year's numbers are low and then the next year is even lower and the next year people

207
00:19:17,500 --> 00:19:21,600
had fewer kids like I don't know if it actually trends that way I don't know enough about the birth

208
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:28,980
rate to know if it's like this like Tuesday like downward trend or if it was just like a low and then

209
00:19:28,980 --> 00:19:33,640
it like is popping back up to normal I just have no idea it was something I was going to try to get

210
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,680
more information on because again all of my information about birth rates and stuff it's just

211
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,260
is what I'm hearing from other educators and conversations

212
00:19:39,260 --> 00:19:40,540
like in the district and stuff.

213
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,280
So I don't have firsthand knowledge of it.

214
00:19:44,460 --> 00:19:46,320
I make the videos any indication

215
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:47,580
where it's coming back up.

216
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:49,140
Yeah.

217
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:51,280
Thanks, seriously.

218
00:19:51,660 --> 00:19:54,620
Those town homes, the infarms, and yeah.

219
00:19:55,120 --> 00:19:56,440
Good to see you.

220
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:56,940
Great.

221
00:19:57,300 --> 00:19:58,420
Very precious to you.

222
00:19:58,600 --> 00:19:59,200
Cool new part.

223
00:19:59,740 --> 00:19:59,900
Yeah.

224
00:20:02,310 --> 00:20:03,670
Thank you so much, Nicole.

225
00:20:04,130 --> 00:20:04,690
Of course.

226
00:20:05,130 --> 00:20:05,570
Yeah.

227
00:20:07,350 --> 00:20:09,930
Okay. Don, finance record.

228
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,200
We lose. Don. She's on there. Can you hear us? Don.

229
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:24,180
Yep. Just talking with my microphone off. Sorry about that. I'll do it. I'm just going on.

230
00:20:24,820 --> 00:20:29,720
So in the packet this month, you would have noticed the executive summary has a little bit of a

231
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:34,300
summary. So if you wanted to read that ahead of time, you'd kind of know what I would be discussing

232
00:20:34,300 --> 00:20:39,340
tonight. We'll continue to do that if you guys think it's beneficial, but it just kind of gives you

233
00:20:39,340 --> 00:20:42,600
something to prep for what we're gonna talk about stuff.

234
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,020
Okay, looking at the first sheet,

235
00:20:45,020 --> 00:20:46,740
which is your statement of activities.

236
00:20:46,740 --> 00:20:48,020
So that's your profit and loss.

237
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,720
That is as of February 28th.

238
00:20:50,740 --> 00:20:53,220
And so it's gonna be comparing your budget to actual

239
00:20:53,220 --> 00:20:54,400
through that time.

240
00:20:55,360 --> 00:20:58,620
That is about 67% of the way through the school year.

241
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,840
And you can use that as kind of a guideline as we go down.

242
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:03,580
Local is way above.

243
00:21:03,780 --> 00:21:05,940
It's at 120% nearly double.

244
00:21:05,940 --> 00:21:11,240
and that's mostly due to interest rates remaining high. The PTIF rate is dropping,

245
00:21:11,980 --> 00:21:17,200
but it's still high enough that last month you got 11,000 in interest in your PTIF. So,

246
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:24,520
amazing interest rates still. State is just right on target and then federal is low like always,

247
00:21:24,660 --> 00:21:30,360
but we are getting those funds in. We did get the rural grant in addition to the lunch funds that we

248
00:21:30,360 --> 00:21:37,340
requested reimbursement for. So overall, your income's at 67.5, which is awesome considering

249
00:21:37,340 --> 00:21:43,700
that that federal is in a reimbursement status. So looking good there. For expenses, I

250
00:21:43,700 --> 00:21:48,340
think there's only a few. Yeah, there's only a few that are above that 67%. So salaries

251
00:21:48,340 --> 00:21:52,020
and benefits are always lower, not because they're actually lower, just because of the way

252
00:21:52,020 --> 00:21:58,440
that they're paid out. Other purchase services is higher. It's at 77%. This is due to increased

253
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:02,560
insurance costs. So we talked about the new insurance for the digital teaching and learning

254
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:08,220
and then updating your crime insurance to fit the requirements that were identified in the audit.

255
00:22:08,860 --> 00:22:14,480
So both of those have been paid for the year and it's at 77%. It will still level out since those

256
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:21,480
are annual expenses. Supplies and materials is at 76%. A lot of those front-loaded costs, especially

257
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:28,040
curriculum and the digital teaching and learning grant expenses hit now and so those all

258
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:32,360
hid in that category and they are money that we didn't really know about at the beginning

259
00:22:32,360 --> 00:22:35,520
of the year. We weren't sure if you were going to get the digital teaching and learning so it wasn't

260
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:43,040
in your budget. Property is also high at 85%. Property is just like supplies. It's just supplies that are

261
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:48,700
above your capitalization threshold and have a longer life than just one year so you kind of break

262
00:22:48,700 --> 00:22:52,840
it up over time. On the cash basis, which is what you're looking at now, you're going to see

263
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:57,380
that full expense, but then on the audit side, we'll kind of divvy it up over its life. So,

264
00:22:57,780 --> 00:23:03,300
you're seeing 85% basically, and it's because they bought that dishwasher that you guys talked about,

265
00:23:03,460 --> 00:23:09,360
and then also just to point out that the budget there was 35,000 just for the safety grant.

266
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:15,060
So once the safety grant expenses are, you know, realized that's going to be way above budget,

267
00:23:15,060 --> 00:23:21,360
but that's okay. We're prepared for it. So that's it for this page. Any questions on this one?

268
00:23:24,500 --> 00:23:29,260
Okay. The second page is your statement of financial position or your balance sheet. So it's

269
00:23:29,260 --> 00:23:33,500
comparing this year to last year as of the same date. So the end of February to the end of February.

270
00:23:34,020 --> 00:23:42,160
And really the only thing to point out here is the cash is up and it's up by almost 300,000. So

271
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:47,160
really good there. And that's all I really have unless

272
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:53,040
anyone has a question.

273
00:23:58,670 --> 00:24:03,130
Is there anything just from an overall perspective, Donna? Is there anything?

274
00:24:04,150 --> 00:24:07,410
And I'm sure you have this conversation with the finance committee.

275
00:24:08,070 --> 00:24:12,330
Is there anything that we might be unaware of?

276
00:24:13,390 --> 00:24:17,890
No, we really try to dig into the weeds, especially in finance committee.

277
00:24:17,890 --> 00:24:21,890
but now everything's looking really good.

278
00:24:22,430 --> 00:24:27,670
What do we need to do from a refinance perspective on bonds?

279
00:24:28,850 --> 00:24:30,310
So you're not there quite yet.

280
00:24:30,790 --> 00:24:36,310
When that does happen, we'll kind of have a little subcommittee that works with the, you know,

281
00:24:36,490 --> 00:24:41,530
finance people to try to see what your best options are at that time, especially right now where things are changing so often.

282
00:24:42,470 --> 00:24:43,930
But yeah, you've got to ways out.

283
00:24:44,070 --> 00:24:45,890
I'd have to pull it up and see exactly what it is.

284
00:24:45,890 --> 00:24:49,770
I do believe you've got a few years left, at least a couple.

285
00:24:50,450 --> 00:24:53,890
2029. I could be row. I 29 what's in my head too.

286
00:24:54,750 --> 00:24:56,910
I asked last year and they were like natively longer than that.

287
00:24:57,030 --> 00:24:58,250
I thought it was pretty stupid.

288
00:24:58,630 --> 00:25:01,590
I think going back is it five years or seven years?

289
00:25:01,790 --> 00:25:02,470
I think it's seven.

290
00:25:03,110 --> 00:25:05,990
I got it printed out in my little book here in the musical booklet.

291
00:25:06,570 --> 00:25:07,990
That's kind of what I was.

292
00:25:08,350 --> 00:25:10,710
Yeah. Something in the back of my mind was saying.

293
00:25:11,610 --> 00:25:12,010
Yeah.

294
00:25:12,650 --> 00:25:32,830
So once we're in that time frame, though, we'll kind of pull some options together for you and see what's the best move at that time. But speaking of that though, when you've got the bonds you have now with UMB, one of the things we kind of talked about with them as part of that whole deal was doing banking through them.

295
00:25:33,370 --> 00:25:39,770
And so right now you're using Zion's bank and we didn't switch over immediately because they didn't have a branch near the school.

296
00:25:39,770 --> 00:25:44,050
they didn't even have a branch in Utah, so they weren't on that list of qualified depositors.

297
00:25:44,830 --> 00:25:50,130
And so they have asked us to, now they've opened up a bank in Utah. It's far away from the school,

298
00:25:50,570 --> 00:25:55,250
but they are now trying to get on that list of depositors and they're on kind of the last step of that.

299
00:25:55,670 --> 00:26:00,730
So they're wanting to see if they can be of a benefit to the school. I did let them know like the

300
00:26:00,730 --> 00:26:06,330
school makes deposits and they have to make deposits within three days. So we definitely can't switch

301
00:26:06,330 --> 00:26:10,290
everything over to them, but they're wondering if we can at least do part of what we agreed to with

302
00:26:10,290 --> 00:26:17,370
the bonds. So we're looking into that right now. Yeah, I think the last, so the last time I met with

303
00:26:17,370 --> 00:26:28,490
them and Nicole last year. Yeah, they were, they were talking about that. Yeah. The branches in mid-day.

304
00:26:31,170 --> 00:26:37,510
Yeah, so they weren't on that list still. And so we kept telling them like we can't move,

305
00:26:37,990 --> 00:26:43,110
you know, they're operating an account over there until you're on that list. And so that's

306
00:26:43,110 --> 00:26:47,650
kind of where we left it, like, you know, we can't do anything until you do your part. So they've

307
00:26:47,650 --> 00:26:50,670
done that part or they're at least working on it and supposedly it's going to be finished soon.

308
00:26:51,050 --> 00:26:56,010
I won't do anything until I see that just because it's a requirement. So we'll wait for that to happen

309
00:26:56,010 --> 00:27:00,610
for sure but we are talking with them about like how it would look like what they could do since they

310
00:27:00,610 --> 00:27:05,590
don't have a branch near the school. But I did look and your bonds go through FY 29.

311
00:27:07,670 --> 00:27:12,250
So it'll be during that school year so probably the beginning of that year we'll start looking at

312
00:27:12,250 --> 00:27:18,610
options and probably talking with a you know a group of committee or something to work on what the best

313
00:27:18,610 --> 00:27:25,150
options aren't. Okay, thank you. Welcome. The corporate office is ready for us to

314
00:27:25,150 --> 00:27:27,530
treat them. You want to do the deposit?

315
00:27:28,970 --> 00:27:32,990
The transaction at the front door, the secretary, the push.

316
00:27:33,210 --> 00:27:36,690
I like to hear all their loan officers like William to do it just.

317
00:27:39,250 --> 00:27:44,310
What do I look? Very good thing though. Yeah, it would be nice to be able to use them,

318
00:27:44,530 --> 00:27:48,330
yeah. If they're on the list and if they have a branch that's

319
00:27:49,250 --> 00:27:50,270
We can use one.

320
00:27:51,110 --> 00:27:54,510
Yeah, that's why we did the credit card is to kind of step in and do it.

321
00:27:54,570 --> 00:27:54,890
We'll try.

322
00:27:55,310 --> 00:27:59,750
But I don't think the credit card has a ton that goes on it in relation to how it's been.

323
00:28:00,210 --> 00:28:00,430
Yeah.

324
00:28:01,110 --> 00:28:01,310
Yeah.

325
00:28:02,990 --> 00:28:06,990
Maybe nice if we can move our cash there.

326
00:28:09,570 --> 00:28:12,530
I did talk to them about how you have a sweep account right now.

327
00:28:12,530 --> 00:28:18,770
So your operating account is getting pretty good interest even though it's not as good as obviously the PTIF and they have similar.

328
00:28:19,370 --> 00:28:21,470
and could do the same rates or better.

329
00:28:22,170 --> 00:28:25,450
So there is that option and they also still do the positive paid,

330
00:28:25,450 --> 00:28:26,970
which is something that you guys have right now,

331
00:28:26,970 --> 00:28:28,190
where if a check gets cut,

332
00:28:28,330 --> 00:28:30,070
like let's say I cut a check right now for a vendor

333
00:28:30,070 --> 00:28:30,830
and they picked it up,

334
00:28:31,150 --> 00:28:32,830
the bank wouldn't clear it until we tell them,

335
00:28:32,830 --> 00:28:34,230
yes, we cut a check to this vendor,

336
00:28:34,750 --> 00:28:35,890
they do that there as well.

337
00:28:36,050 --> 00:28:38,010
So it's pretty apples to apples from what I see

338
00:28:38,590 --> 00:28:39,830
except for the location.

339
00:28:40,850 --> 00:28:41,210
Yeah.

340
00:28:42,990 --> 00:28:46,790
Well, I think that's something to look at in the next six to 12 months.

341
00:28:51,310 --> 00:28:54,070
Okay, um, school and trust plan.

342
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,300
Is there anything you want to tell it's done? Nicole?

343
00:29:00,700 --> 00:29:07,420
Sorry. I had to get off of mute. So sorry. Okay. Um, wait, where did just go? Okay. Um, okay.

344
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:13,800
Sorry. I met with our land trust committee and we talked about this and went over it. So, um,

345
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:29,480
Last year we used a good portion of the land trust money to update our language arts curriculum so that it was in line with what the state has been asking us to do the last couple of years.

346
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:36,760
And so we've done that we don't need to do the other grade levels. It's not required.

347
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:47,120
and after using the updated curriculum for this year, both like admin and teachers don't feel like it

348
00:29:48,460 --> 00:29:54,260
makes that significant of a difference that we need to update the other grade levels yet.

349
00:29:54,980 --> 00:29:59,760
We are in a curriculum cycle with our current like our

350
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:29,980
Current wonders program with our older grades, where when we purchased it, we purchased it in a five or six year cycle, where we get like online access for certain number of years and we get the consumables sent to us for, you know, a certain number of years. When that's up for our older grades, we will then consider, you know, maybe upgrading them to the more current version of wonders, but the reason we did the lower grade levels is because we keep getting asked every

351
00:30:29,980 --> 00:30:34,420
year when we submit our early learning plan, why we haven't done it. And so we really need to do

352
00:30:34,420 --> 00:30:40,360
that because the lower grades were required but the upper grades are not. So what we do need to

353
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:47,440
probably spend some money on is upgrading our teacher technology. Teacher technology like computers

354
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:55,940
and stuff are heavy components of instruction, especially as we've moved into PCBL learning. But

355
00:30:55,940 --> 00:31:02,680
honestly just in 2026 a computer is required to teach and it's required to actually instruct not

356
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:07,560
just like put in grades and answer emails and so most of our teacher computers were purchased

357
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:14,920
in 2020 and they are dying, dying, dying dead. I was able to use the digital teaching and learning

358
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:22,120
grant to replace several computers like 10 but we still have like 16 more that are teacher only

359
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:29,460
that are way out of date and really struggle to function on a daily basis so that is a big

360
00:31:29,460 --> 00:31:38,700
part of what we are budgeting for in the land trust plan. We also want to continue building

361
00:31:38,700 --> 00:31:48,400
our STEM curriculum and our STEM like supplies and tools of resources. We have like the most

362
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:53,660
incredible STEM teacher this year. She's amazing. It has taken our STEM special to like

363
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:58,200
such another level. I can't even explain. Like it's so great. My kids personally

364
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:04,860
have loved STEM and loved what they've done. And we have been each year also applying for grants

365
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:10,020
to get new things like new. I couldn't even tell you all about it because I'm not very

366
00:32:11,660 --> 00:32:17,900
but like new robotic things or new coding things or you know these kids are

367
00:32:17,900 --> 00:32:22,860
loving like 3d printing and of course all that comes with like you do a

368
00:32:22,860 --> 00:32:26,160
lesson plan where you're like you must design this and it has to have these

369
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:30,380
kinds of things and then you know we'll print it for you and stuff so that's a

370
00:32:30,380 --> 00:32:35,080
part of our curriculum and part of what we're doing that I think is really great I

371
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,840
think it's very valuable I think it's very relevant it does require fun so we

372
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:47,420
We also have some of the land trust going towards that, and then also

373
00:32:49,790 --> 00:32:54,190
we did have, we

374
00:32:54,190 --> 00:33:00,430
purchased a math, fact fluency software program last year to help us hopefully improve

375
00:33:00,430 --> 00:33:07,130
our scores on Acadians, and that took a while to get implemented this year due to some

376
00:33:07,130 --> 00:33:09,070
and technology issues with the class link and the vendor,

377
00:33:09,470 --> 00:33:11,710
but it's being used really regularly now,

378
00:33:11,770 --> 00:33:12,870
and our teachers are loving it,

379
00:33:12,910 --> 00:33:15,090
and they feel like students are getting much faster

380
00:33:15,090 --> 00:33:19,670
with their facts, which since Acadians is a timed math test

381
00:33:19,670 --> 00:33:21,270
and is pretty facts heavy,

382
00:33:21,510 --> 00:33:24,010
they feel like it's making a difference.

383
00:33:24,310 --> 00:33:25,350
So that's in here again.

384
00:33:26,330 --> 00:33:27,610
And let's see.

385
00:33:27,990 --> 00:33:29,130
Alana, am I missing anything?

386
00:33:30,290 --> 00:33:32,870
Or Cadi, that you think, like,

387
00:33:35,180 --> 00:33:36,080
are there reading?

388
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:36,780
Oh, yes.

389
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:43,040
Sorry, I also put a little bit in here to help support para-professionals.

390
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:51,460
In the past, I've enabled to cover our teacher assistance with title one money and K-3 money

391
00:33:51,460 --> 00:33:59,340
that we used to get and just other money and we, you know, as we look towards more lean

392
00:33:59,340 --> 00:34:05,020
years, one of the areas that I can cut back a lot in is sometimes FTE, but it's hard because

393
00:34:05,020 --> 00:34:12,680
We already cut back on FTE this year and so one of the things that I was doing is we could help pay for and support both our STEM specialists and

394
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:13,360
possibly

395
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,580
Paris to help out like with reading support and stuff

396
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,880
With this money as well. So that's also in there. That's a little different than any years past

397
00:34:23,220 --> 00:34:25,100
Sorry, what we're going to say about reading oh

398
00:34:25,980 --> 00:34:27,160
No, that's that's great.

399
00:34:36,300 --> 00:34:37,820
Let's talk about the long bear

400
00:34:42,610 --> 00:34:47,690
and I'm a terrible person and it's in the details to Hannah tell today. So Hannah, do you?

401
00:34:49,250 --> 00:34:51,850
Do you want me to just talk to them because they probably don't have them to look at, right?

402
00:34:51,930 --> 00:34:56,690
Or do they do? Yeah. Let me just pull them up because I'm in the online packet.

403
00:34:56,690 --> 00:35:00,850
So let me pull up what I actually sent Hannah and speak to it. So I had a couple of different people

404
00:35:00,850 --> 00:35:06,690
respond to our lawn care vendor bids, but if they didn't respond with the appropriate information,

405
00:35:06,690 --> 00:35:12,710
I did not include them. So this only has to do with people who followed directions and submitted what I need.

406
00:35:13,470 --> 00:35:16,030
And even then it's kind of like, yeah.

407
00:35:16,970 --> 00:35:26,110
So first by way of information, I can do agreements with like these service providers for like three years.

408
00:35:26,370 --> 00:35:36,410
And I already decided a couple months ago to extend our snow removal agreement with extreme green and make it a three year agreement.

409
00:35:36,410 --> 00:35:39,990
just so that we don't have to collect bids and do it every single year.

410
00:35:41,030 --> 00:35:46,150
I would like to do the same with lawn care, make a decision and then probably do it for the next

411
00:35:46,150 --> 00:35:52,370
few years. So if you remember this time last year, I collected bids and they really thankfully

412
00:35:53,070 --> 00:35:56,910
finally were for the first time I were like apples to apples where we were really comparing like

413
00:35:56,910 --> 00:36:03,370
the exact similar services with prices. And based on the bids that we got, even I had been a thick

414
00:36:03,370 --> 00:36:04,930
extreme green for several years.

415
00:36:05,510 --> 00:36:07,330
We did get a bid that was lower,

416
00:36:08,550 --> 00:36:10,830
and especially just being physically minded,

417
00:36:11,210 --> 00:36:13,610
we decided to go with that company,

418
00:36:14,070 --> 00:36:19,690
and see if that was a good fit or not for the price.

419
00:36:21,590 --> 00:36:24,130
That is one of the companies that's the JD-Longcare

420
00:36:24,130 --> 00:36:25,310
who submitted a bid,

421
00:36:25,950 --> 00:36:29,530
and then we also have Extreme Green who submitted a bid again.

422
00:36:29,530 --> 00:36:33,490
And our lawn care has not been great.

423
00:36:33,790 --> 00:36:35,450
I would say we're getting what we're paying for.

424
00:36:36,050 --> 00:36:38,710
So while it has been less expensive,

425
00:36:39,670 --> 00:36:42,310
it's just not been great.

426
00:36:42,530 --> 00:36:45,170
Our lawn care doesn't, I mean our lawn doesn't look great,

427
00:36:45,390 --> 00:36:46,530
our beds don't look great.

428
00:36:47,630 --> 00:36:49,570
We kind of have to call him a lot

429
00:36:49,570 --> 00:36:50,970
and be like, hey, what about this?

430
00:36:50,990 --> 00:36:52,690
And I'm like, oh yeah, I didn't really think about that.

431
00:36:52,970 --> 00:36:58,210
So he's great to work with as far as when we say,

432
00:36:58,210 --> 00:37:04,090
like hey can you do this or this didn't happen he's responsive but I don't know

433
00:37:04,090 --> 00:37:11,470
that the knowledge and skill is there to take care of our space that is just so

434
00:37:11,470 --> 00:37:18,810
so big and kind of has a lot going on especially as we possibly head

435
00:37:18,810 --> 00:37:23,190
into a summer where we might have water restrictions and we want to try to

436
00:37:23,190 --> 00:37:27,590
keep things alive and we're probably gonna have things with like our sprinkler

437
00:37:27,590 --> 00:37:33,550
sister and system and monitoring and stuff. I personally would like to go back to extreme

438
00:37:33,550 --> 00:37:42,690
green. I just, I feel like it, it will be better for our land that we own a lot of

439
00:37:42,690 --> 00:37:43,810
and there's a lot of grass.

440
00:37:46,110 --> 00:37:48,490
I'm glad that we gave the other guy a chance but I'm not sure

441
00:37:48,490 --> 00:37:52,530
it's a great fit. It also would be nice to just use the same person for lawn care and

442
00:37:52,530 --> 00:37:56,310
snow removal. Like it's been fine this year but it also feels a little bit cleaner to me

443
00:37:56,310 --> 00:37:57,930
to just use the same company for both.

444
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,120
So the extreme, the extreme green quote.

445
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:17,520
So I priced it 28 weeks mowing in your 14,000 versus the 8,000 or 100.

446
00:38:18,380 --> 00:38:22,960
So just mowing with extreme green versus JD lawn care.

447
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:27,440
I just timed it by the 20 weeks that JD lawn care plan on mowing.

448
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,380
What you're saying is extremely green is more expensive.

449
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:34,500
567.

450
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:35,320
567.

451
00:38:36,500 --> 00:38:40,660
And well, for weekly mulling, I didn't compare a lot of the others.

452
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:43,200
I mean, unfortunately.

453
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:44,580
Yeah.

454
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,560
So, who have you been using, Nicole?

455
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:51,580
JD Long.

456
00:38:51,580 --> 00:38:52,000
Oh, okay.

457
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:53,420
You've been using JD Longcare.

458
00:38:55,100 --> 00:38:59,380
I remember Christy having to run out and fix things with sprinklers back when the

459
00:38:59,380 --> 00:39:00,540
extreme green was here.

460
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:07,820
Well, when sprinklers bust during the day, yes, we have to be, when I say we, I mean Christy,

461
00:39:07,820 --> 00:39:11,300
because Christy takes care of everything facilities related that happens on an emergency

462
00:39:11,300 --> 00:39:11,760
basis.

463
00:39:12,380 --> 00:39:13,300
But yes, we do.

464
00:39:13,460 --> 00:39:21,860
But they're out there pretty fast, but like, they're the ones who monitor like, for example,

465
00:39:21,860 --> 00:39:27,020
our sprinklers ran like all day and night all summer not all summer but for like a long period

466
00:39:27,020 --> 00:39:31,760
of time they manage our sprinkler system and like we called them a couple times and I'm like hey

467
00:39:32,240 --> 00:39:36,940
people keep calling the city to complain that we're our sprinklers are still on like I'm not a

468
00:39:36,940 --> 00:39:41,020
sprinkler expert I don't even know how to like type to sprinklers and stuff and so it's just things

469
00:39:41,020 --> 00:39:44,520
like I mean you're gonna have sprinkler issues and you gotta have people that can fix them and stuff

470
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:51,520
and it's gonna happen regardless but it seems like extreme green just has a

471
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:55,400
lot of knowledge and skill when we're talking about taking care of

472
00:39:57,660 --> 00:40:04,560
like just this big of a property and project and it's I don't know if you've looked closely

473
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:10,340
at our lawn or our grounds or anything it's in very rough shape after a year of using

474
00:40:10,940 --> 00:40:17,380
the other company and it's just like our land is a heavy expense and so we're

475
00:40:19,780 --> 00:40:20,420
going to get to this

476
00:40:20,420 --> 00:40:23,980
not in this meeting but we're gonna get to this here pretty soon too because I did an RFP for

477
00:40:23,980 --> 00:40:30,760
custodial services and same kind of thing like we definitely can do the we can do the bids that

478
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:36,800
are the least expensive but I I feel like then we get what we pay for for sure and so it's just kind

479
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:42,180
of trying to decide like okay we have this massive building that we need to take care of and and prolong

480
00:40:42,180 --> 00:40:48,740
the life and the use of it like so you know do we spend the money do we not and the long care thing

481
00:40:48,740 --> 00:40:53,800
is really hard for me because I am not an expert on that. Like I don't know what to tell

482
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:59,380
someone to do so that my lawn is not dead or so I don't have crap growing everywhere or

483
00:41:00,580 --> 00:41:04,980
I don't know anything about sprinkler systems and stuff. So I really rely on whoever we have

484
00:41:04,980 --> 00:41:08,820
to just be really knowledgeable and just take care of us if that makes sense.

485
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:16,280
But I think you're right. We probably should end up paying the extra money for JD.

486
00:41:18,740 --> 00:41:27,920
The stream green, not JD, the stream green because if the long dies, the cost of replace it is very expensive.

487
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:32,340
With that pricing that we have, because they are quite a bit more.

488
00:41:33,140 --> 00:41:39,040
So I think people have to start being meter at least private residents are going to be meter this year with water.

489
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,640
It was a state mandate that came out a couple years ago.

490
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:50,760
So is extreme green going to be liable for our water if the school gets like a set amount

491
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:51,140
of water?

492
00:41:51,220 --> 00:41:52,600
Are they going to be on that?

493
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,160
And do they have like a lower place your law if we kill it clause?

494
00:41:56,820 --> 00:41:57,100
Yeah.

495
00:41:57,780 --> 00:42:01,720
No, and we had this problem a couple of years ago when we had the major water restrictions

496
00:42:01,720 --> 00:42:09,400
we got fined because our sprinkler system wasn't done correctly and they were aware of it.

497
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:10,760
but I guess the guy who came out and said,

498
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:12,240
hey, we had to pay the fine.

499
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:14,520
We also had to replace the lawn that died.

500
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:18,820
Like, but and that's what I'm worried about is like,

501
00:42:18,820 --> 00:42:20,360
if it got messed up with extreme green,

502
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,040
I'm not trying to be mean, but like,

503
00:42:22,240 --> 00:42:24,540
they're able for sure be a disaster this year.

504
00:42:24,620 --> 00:42:26,220
Like a string green knew what they were doing.

505
00:42:26,220 --> 00:42:27,700
They were like, oh my gosh, we're so sorry.

506
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:28,980
We had this guy who's supposed to oversee it.

507
00:42:29,060 --> 00:42:30,160
We know your water restrictions

508
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,920
in this section of case villain Davis County is this

509
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:36,960
and we didn't, we didn't adjust it accordingly

510
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,660
and come and check on it and stuff like that.

511
00:42:40,500 --> 00:42:42,100
We didn't have parts of our law on the diet,

512
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:43,000
but it wasn't as bad.

513
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,420
Like my own personal yard was way worse

514
00:42:45,420 --> 00:42:46,580
that summer that our school was.

515
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:51,040
So they did a better job of it than we did at my house,

516
00:42:51,260 --> 00:42:53,020
but no, ultimately the school, I think,

517
00:42:53,020 --> 00:42:54,160
is accountable for everything.

518
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,180
Just kind of our reality of living in dry summer.

519
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:03,120
What we ought to do is have a conversation with them

520
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:10,600
about the sprinklers and give them the information. They look, you know, we need to do the census

521
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:18,320
up properly and let us know that you've got a property. No, it's not.

522
00:43:21,270 --> 00:43:22,410
Yeah, I wonder if you could

523
00:43:22,410 --> 00:43:27,150
say, hey, you're quite a bit more expensive than the other guys. Would you be willing to look at our

524
00:43:27,150 --> 00:43:32,810
water usage and sprinklers. Like, I don't know what we need. But if we require

525
00:43:32,810 --> 00:43:36,510
then, is it to monitor or making adjustments when you didn't?

526
00:43:39,010 --> 00:43:42,330
I had because when we got

527
00:43:42,330 --> 00:43:47,770
find and had kind of a major issue and then we also had an issue with our water, our sprinklers

528
00:43:47,770 --> 00:43:53,010
breaking one time. Anyways, we kind of had a very big long back and forth with facilities

529
00:43:53,010 --> 00:43:58,470
at Academica trying to figure out who was ultimately responsible for helping us with sprinklers

530
00:43:58,470 --> 00:44:03,030
because Academica said it was definitely not them and so basically at the end of that whole

531
00:44:03,030 --> 00:44:08,310
fiasco at the end I was like so basically Kristinaire responsible for sprinklers and we don't know

532
00:44:08,310 --> 00:44:14,950
what the heck we're doing so we are going to need to rely on our one care company and so at that time

533
00:44:14,950 --> 00:44:21,750
I really was like I like called Scott and I was like I like we cannot have to be the experts

534
00:44:21,750 --> 00:44:26,810
on this they're saying they won't take care of it so can you please commit to like making sure that

535
00:44:26,810 --> 00:44:30,730
you've got this taken care of and you tell me what you need and I trust you that you know what you're

536
00:44:30,730 --> 00:44:35,630
doing and stuff and he was like yeah and that was probably like a year and a half before we made

537
00:44:35,630 --> 00:44:41,590
this switch last spring so I feel really pretty I feel more comfortable and confident going into this

538
00:44:41,590 --> 00:44:48,130
next year using him based on like those experiences than this newer company I like said he's such a nice

539
00:44:48,130 --> 00:44:53,710
guy um he tries really hard I just I just feel like the knowledge and skill isn't there and we've

540
00:44:53,710 --> 00:44:59,790
just had to do a lot of stuff and I'm in both Christine I just are concerned about how the lawn

541
00:45:00,110 --> 00:45:29,950
And everything looks, and then looking into next year, I just am like, oh, if everything dies, Keith's not wrong, like I wouldn't be able to replace it. We would just have a very dead, dead lawn and it looks so ghetto because we have so much of it. So it just does not help with the appeal of Jefferson Academy. So. I think the only thing we'd want to do, Nicole, not the extreme green quote on the weekly maintenance. It has timer control as a line item. That $500 includes it.

542
00:45:29,950 --> 00:45:37,270
Yeah, included in the weekly maintenance, but it also has it included in the labor per hour.

543
00:45:39,530 --> 00:45:44,970
So they can, you can get them to do a variety of things for a per hour labor.

544
00:45:45,990 --> 00:45:51,870
Hybrid control. Yeah. So what we want to do is just say, hey, we want to make sure that

545
00:45:52,490 --> 00:45:57,690
timer control checking the timer every week is included because that's what I would want.

546
00:45:57,690 --> 00:46:00,430
I would want them to make the timer every week.

547
00:46:01,310 --> 00:46:01,790
I agree.

548
00:46:02,030 --> 00:46:05,730
Still make sure it hasn't, for some reason,

549
00:46:06,290 --> 00:46:08,990
jumped or gotten screwed up somehow.

550
00:46:09,310 --> 00:46:11,070
This is fair, but it's no double-digit thing.

551
00:46:11,370 --> 00:46:13,190
It's a weekly maintenance and so far.

552
00:46:13,490 --> 00:46:14,970
Yeah, I agree.

553
00:46:17,350 --> 00:46:20,650
He has been so great with snow removal this year.

554
00:46:21,190 --> 00:46:24,430
Like, when I've gotten to school and my parking lot is not salted or it's not,

555
00:46:24,570 --> 00:46:27,110
you know, quite done enough because they did it earlier and it's already like

556
00:46:27,110 --> 00:46:32,330
read down a river he's been super responsive and like what can I do like I think

557
00:46:34,130 --> 00:46:38,070
going away from his services for a minute and then possibly coming back I I think he's in

558
00:46:38,070 --> 00:46:44,590
a position where he will do whatever I say we need to to do to have that be worth our money.

559
00:46:47,090 --> 00:46:47,570
Hey,

560
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:56,880
then I would make a motion to approve the extreme green clothes.

561
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,420
Do you want to include the school and trust plan too?

562
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:03,140
Yes.

563
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:04,100
Perfect.

564
00:47:04,220 --> 00:47:04,760
I can do it.

565
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:05,820
Well, hang on a second.

566
00:47:05,980 --> 00:47:06,620
Let me do this again.

567
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:06,940
Okay.

568
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:15,820
The motion to approve the school and trust plan as drafted and also the extreme green long

569
00:47:15,820 --> 00:47:16,720
I don't care, I agree with you.

570
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:17,880
All seconded.

571
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:18,740
All in favor.

572
00:47:19,340 --> 00:47:19,440
Bye.

573
00:47:20,540 --> 00:47:20,820
Bye.

574
00:47:21,260 --> 00:47:21,340
Bye.

575
00:47:21,660 --> 00:47:21,880
Bye.

576
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:23,720
Okay.

577
00:47:25,220 --> 00:47:30,300
What do we need to do with the financial condition and activities?

578
00:47:30,940 --> 00:47:35,260
So it's not included in there, but all the changes are in the executive summary behind the agenda.

579
00:47:37,620 --> 00:47:39,760
Don or Nicole, do you want to speak to this?

580
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:40,840
Yeah,

581
00:47:44,060 --> 00:47:49,180
I think people are not very slight and don't propose raising the

582
00:47:49,180 --> 00:47:52,880
limits that Nicole can approve without me. So each month I'm

583
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,940
approving our speech agreement because it just hits the threshold that I

584
00:47:55,940 --> 00:48:00,200
have to approve it before it gets paid, which is fine. But they're

585
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:05,740
proposing to raise those. No, no. And you said it's in. It's

586
00:48:05,740 --> 00:48:13,600
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so Nicole would have up to 10,000. What's it out right now?

587
00:48:14,860 --> 00:48:20,580
I can look sorry give me one second. I hit 5 to 10 and look at it after that as a board.

588
00:48:21,580 --> 00:48:27,680
Like I approved ETS's bid for $5,000 this week. I approved

589
00:48:31,180 --> 00:48:35,360
So some of that stuff that we've already talked about as a board will just slide through.

590
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:41,420
It's not a huge inconvenience to me if it's something you guys still feel like you need to be oversight on.

591
00:48:43,260 --> 00:48:46,540
No, but it was supposed to slide on because I'm a person who's gone.

592
00:48:46,980 --> 00:48:49,520
So it's just, I mean two things.

593
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:58,580
One, I think we're very comfortable with Nicole and being very financially and physically responsible.

594
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:08,860
The question is, if Nicole goes away, then we'll get a little bit back down there.

595
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:11,280
Yeah, I can always change this.

596
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:18,400
Um, I was guessing that's that's one of the things that dawn specifically said is she said when she looked at other schools and kind of what they do.

597
00:49:18,720 --> 00:49:26,540
Two things to keep in mind is that things have increased so much in cost and we already made an adjustment a couple of years ago, kind of with that in mind.

598
00:49:26,980 --> 00:49:33,460
Um, but she's like never one things are just a lot more expensive. So more things hit thresholds faster.

599
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:39,340
And then she also said schools who have had directors for like the same amount of time as you.

600
00:49:39,340 --> 00:49:56,280
They typically have higher purchasing limits, but she's like, but then yes, if they were to have a different director than you would change policy, it's very specific to the fact that I'm the director right now, but you guys would for sure if you got a new director, you'd probably change it even different than what it is now probably.

601
00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:07,360
And then also if I can just point out that another thing is if any payment is made from the schools account, that's 2500 or more to accountants here actually also review it.

602
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:19,100
So it's still not just Nicole, you know what I mean, it's going to be Nicole plus me plus another accountant for every single purchase that's over 2500 regardless of what her amount is just to make sure that everything's correct.

603
00:50:20,380 --> 00:50:21,660
Excellent.

604
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:34,160
Then I want to make the motion to approve the changes to the exactly the

605
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:38,020
limitations 2.4 financial condition and activities. That's a proposal.

606
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:40,000
I second it.

607
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:41,000
Hi.

608
00:50:42,900 --> 00:50:43,060
Hi.

609
00:50:43,780 --> 00:50:43,880
Hi.

610
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:44,400
Hi.

611
00:50:53,980 --> 00:50:55,980
Health side professional employer agreement.

612
00:50:57,660 --> 00:51:00,000
Nicole, do you want to talk to this or do you want me to?

613
00:51:00,500 --> 00:51:00,940
Um,

614
00:51:04,380 --> 00:51:07,840
you probably might know, I mean, I know I can talk to it.

615
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:13,080
Okay, so it's time for us, actually, you talk about it.

616
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:17,940
Okay, so you've been contacted with help side for years.

617
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:20,620
And I don't want to explain it, so you explain it.

618
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:27,060
It's so easy, but you've been contacted with them for at least five years, maybe longer

619
00:51:27,060 --> 00:51:30,780
to do your employee benefits like 401k, payroll, all that kind of stuff.

620
00:51:30,780 --> 00:51:36,480
So it's just time to look at that contract again and sign another agreement with them.

621
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:45,480
So we did our HR did some homework behind the scenes to do like who's the best rate and stuff

622
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:51,940
there by far the best rate so. And from what I checked we actually only pay them for payroll.

623
00:51:52,340 --> 00:51:57,980
Like we don't pay them any other fees for the other services we're just paying them when they

624
00:51:57,980 --> 00:52:05,920
right checks, like payroll checks. So the financial piece is very, very small as

625
00:52:06,580 --> 00:52:07,520
far as what we commit to.

626
00:52:11,460 --> 00:52:16,160
Now we make motion to approve the execution of the

627
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:17,220
I'm going to read.

628
00:52:17,620 --> 00:52:18,700
I'll second it.

629
00:52:18,940 --> 00:52:19,400
On the table.

630
00:52:19,780 --> 00:52:20,040
Hi.

631
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:21,120
Hi.

632
00:52:21,340 --> 00:52:21,900
Hi.

633
00:52:24,660 --> 00:52:25,320
How's that?

634
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:25,500
Yeah.

635
00:52:25,860 --> 00:52:26,640
It's time.

636
00:52:27,460 --> 00:52:27,620
Yeah.

637
00:52:28,020 --> 00:52:28,740
I heard today.

638
00:52:29,180 --> 00:52:30,200
And the.

639
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:30,600
The.

640
00:52:31,180 --> 00:52:31,980
Somehow the.

641
00:52:32,180 --> 00:52:34,760
He's charging schools 40 $2.

642
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:35,640
I think.

643
00:52:35,900 --> 00:52:36,600
How did you check?

644
00:52:36,780 --> 00:52:37,520
For one check?

645
00:52:38,140 --> 00:52:39,120
Two other.

646
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:40,400
Other.

647
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:40,660
Oh, other.

648
00:52:40,900 --> 00:52:41,320
Other.

649
00:52:41,420 --> 00:52:41,520
Yeah.

650
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:44,260
And they are like $8.

651
00:52:44,260 --> 00:52:50,260
dollars. It's they're great. Their prices are so good. Yeah. Crazy. They're

652
00:52:50,260 --> 00:52:53,060
calendaring. June 8th. That worked very well.

653
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:57,720
I'm so sorry. I'm going to have to

654
00:52:57,720 --> 00:53:03,680
take it and put it in. It's going to be great. It's going to be great. I know. It's awesome.

655
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:12,340
It's amazing. Somebody asked me how long you've been married. Oh my gosh. 37 years.

656
00:53:12,340 --> 00:53:12,640
Don't worry so be sure of it.

657
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:15,580
Does she switch 30 this year?

658
00:53:15,740 --> 00:53:16,800
The next year?

659
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:20,280
One.

660
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:20,540
Sure she is.

661
00:53:20,940 --> 00:53:21,160
She went...

662
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:22,000
You are right.

663
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:23,660
Let me do it.

664
00:53:23,720 --> 00:53:27,440
I'm not sure if it�s okay.

665
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:29,140
She is, but she would turn up.

666
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:30,280
She could turn up.

667
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:32,040
There is a temperature here.

668
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:34,040
30 this year?

669
00:53:36,700 --> 00:53:41,100
What is it here?

670
00:53:41,340 --> 00:53:41,460
Or 30 this year?

671
00:53:41,460 --> 00:53:41,580
Th seria.

672
00:53:41,580 --> 00:53:42,100
know, right?

673
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,880
Is it like paper year or something like that?

674
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:48,060
Pretty sure.

675
00:53:50,980 --> 00:53:55,740
I will be holding him accountable for like the silver and gold you're

676
00:53:55,740 --> 00:53:58,200
though. I don't think it's super bad.

677
00:54:14,500 --> 00:54:17,140
Oh, I'm listening to the last one.

678
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:21,260
My little, all related assistance said that I'm like, I've never heard that before.

679
00:54:21,460 --> 00:54:23,400
And that's a weird question to be able to get through that time.

680
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:24,060
Yeah.

681
00:54:24,940 --> 00:54:25,320
All right.

682
00:54:26,540 --> 00:54:26,940
801.

683
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:29,020
And I moved to Virginia.

684
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:30,680
I was like in it.

685
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:31,220
All right.

686
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:32,380
Thank you.

687
00:54:32,620 --> 00:54:32,780
Bye.

688
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:33,300
Bye.

689
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:35,040
Let's go.
