So you can see it. There we go. 70 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:32,840 Okay. 71 00:06:35,140 --> 00:06:37,840 So just so you kind of understand it, if you are 72 00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:43,360 currently a licensed teacher in Utah, you'll skip these instructions below because like I'm 73 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:49,420 currently a licensed teacher, Rob's currently a licensed teacher. The background for us is already 74 00:06:49,420 --> 00:06:50,780 and file of the USBE. 75 00:06:51,660 --> 00:06:54,200 So we just notified the US, 76 00:06:54,580 --> 00:06:56,840 we notify the least male-caught community school 77 00:06:56,840 --> 00:06:59,000 that we already have our background checks on files. 78 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,500 File for all those coming from another K-12 school 79 00:07:02,500 --> 00:07:05,720 in Utah with a current FBI rap back subscription 80 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,520 through the Utah Bureau of Criminal Investigation, 81 00:07:09,140 --> 00:07:12,800 BCI, and they can submit an authorization to transfer. 82 00:07:13,660 --> 00:07:17,060 And this is called a rap back. 83 00:07:17,060 --> 00:07:25,900 So and then those that need to be for fingerprinted will need to take authorization for electronic fingerprints life scan to a life scan location. 84 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:33,980 We have two addresses that we can do that in Springville. I'm sure there's somewhere else that this is what we're aware of in the area. 85 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:44,060 But you must have an authorization for electronic fingerprints form with you at the time of fingerprinting and that's something that I generate for you. 86 00:07:44,820 --> 00:07:55,260 So I'll get to get back to you on that with that form and then this is what we'll have for all employees as well. 87 00:07:56,420 --> 00:08:11,300 And I think this is basically just what I said is that you'll have this authorization that we will fill out and then we'll need some signatures and that's that's what that is. 88 00:08:11,300 --> 00:08:17,260 So, you go back to agenda, not that. 89 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,600 When we need this to be done before school starts, is that what you're saying? 90 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:26,400 No, we need it to be done like, sorry, I'm trying to find the agenda again now. 91 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:27,760 This month, Michelle. 92 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,820 It's probably within the next few weeks. 93 00:08:31,020 --> 00:08:32,840 So I'll reach out to you just a little bit. 94 00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:35,120 Sorry, now I can't find the agenda. 95 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:49,080 A lot of things open. 96 00:08:50,300 --> 00:08:51,360 Oh, this is nothing. 97 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:57,460 Usually having more than less, so, but I actually closed about 15 of them earlier today. 98 00:08:58,300 --> 00:09:04,020 Okay. So trying to think of that needs to. 99 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,240 So that's just a discussion item because it's required by the state. 100 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,040 There is a little bit. 101 00:09:12,700 --> 00:09:16,000 There's one for employees, one for volunteers, very similar. 102 00:09:16,660 --> 00:09:23,040 the fingerprint form that I'll send and then now will any discussion on this 103 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,280 before we move on to the fiscal policy that we need to talk about. 104 00:09:33,210 --> 00:09:33,390 All right 105 00:09:33,390 --> 00:09:37,850 if there's no discussion then we're gonna move on to let's see review and 106 00:09:37,850 --> 00:09:42,670 approval so actually we do need to approve the BCI background check 107 00:09:42,670 --> 00:09:47,150 instructions for our new employees and for volunteers so there's someone who 108 00:09:47,150 --> 00:09:58,590 motions, the approval of the background check. I know that we approve the approval 109 00:09:58,590 --> 00:10:03,750 of the background check with BSI. And there's someone that seconds that. 110 00:10:06,850 --> 00:10:07,330 Okay, Michelle 111 00:10:07,330 --> 00:10:15,450 seconds that. I'll second that. And Ken's also seconds that is there all in favor say aye. 112 00:10:17,110 --> 00:10:31,510 Any opposed? Any abstentions? All right, so this passes, this will be our official background check information that will go out to employees, volunteers, and others associated with the school. 113 00:10:32,670 --> 00:10:38,690 The next thing we need to talk about is a fiscal policy that had to be updated just a little bit. 114 00:10:42,150 --> 00:10:54,790 So that's one of the things we need to go through and then along with this fiscal policy we need to have a three member audit committee that is made that we're going to make that up from our board members. 115 00:10:55,550 --> 00:11:01,270 And so we'll get to that in just a minute you do we do need three members and 116 00:11:02,510 --> 00:11:07,790 Okay. So we'll get to that in a minute. And so this, I would like you to spend a little 117 00:11:07,790 --> 00:11:12,570 bit of time reviewing. So maybe we'll, I'll take like 10 minutes or something and you can 118 00:11:12,570 --> 00:11:18,450 review it on your own. The link is in there. And so this is foundational governance and 119 00:11:18,450 --> 00:11:22,950 authority. So like purpose, for authority, administrative authority ethics as it relates 120 00:11:22,950 --> 00:11:29,670 to our fiscal policy, compliance with laws, record keeping, and you know, all of the things 121 00:11:29,670 --> 00:11:35,830 that the state requires hotline complaint response and resolution, things like that. 122 00:11:36,170 --> 00:11:41,570 And then fiscal planning and reporting, what's required by the state for charter school 123 00:11:41,570 --> 00:11:48,270 and then revenue and asset management is in this section and then spending procurement 124 00:11:48,270 --> 00:11:49,230 and liabilities. 125 00:11:49,690 --> 00:11:56,150 So this is where cash disbursement, procurement, all of that, occurred by abilities debt, deposit 126 00:11:56,150 --> 00:12:02,710 and loan accounts, and signature authority, et cetera, and then our personnel and HR 127 00:12:03,890 --> 00:12:09,130 expenditures, that kind of stuff. So this is a hot links that will take you directly to it, 128 00:12:09,330 --> 00:12:17,030 and then down here is where all of this information is. And so this is an important, but what we have 129 00:12:17,030 --> 00:12:26,070 here has been reviewed by someone who's advising us. So it's not like I just came up with it by myself, 130 00:12:26,070 --> 00:12:34,490 or something like that. So let's go ahead and take 10 minutes. So it's 719. Let's take to 729 131 00:12:34,490 --> 00:12:40,290 and review anything that you'd like to review on here. We can just all mute our cameras and our 132 00:12:40,290 --> 00:12:45,330 things while we do that. And then we can come back and see if there's any discussion or any question 133 00:12:45,330 --> 00:12:51,810 related to this. Keeping in mind that we have to have a three-member audit committee and that audit 134 00:12:51,810 --> 00:12:59,090 committee will be working with the state and you know audits are just part of what's required 135 00:12:59,090 --> 00:13:05,270 when you're dealing with a school and with taxpayer money. So it's not like with the IRS where 136 00:13:05,270 --> 00:13:11,270 they just pull people here and there. It's it's in every year we have an audit for our expenditures 137 00:13:11,270 --> 00:13:17,130 and all of our policies to make sure that we're doing those things correctly and there's a lot of 138 00:13:17,130 --> 00:13:22,810 things that have to be done correctly. So, all right, 720, so let's get back together for any 139 00:13:22,810 --> 00:13:24,610 discussion or questions at 7.30. 140 00:23:41,100 --> 00:23:46,600 If you want to finish up what you're reading and then we can have some discussion about the items. 141 00:23:56,090 --> 00:24:19,510 One thing I noticed is there is a section in there that says we will participate in a retirement plan for employees. And I think that needs to be edited because we won't be doing that for all employees. And so when we pass this, we'll pass that with, if we pass it, we can pass it with provisional approval with modifications. 142 00:24:19,510 --> 00:24:41,970 to that section. And then it also says something about employees will be paid on a 12 month schedule and it should we should alter that to say full time employees will be paid on a 12 month schedule, but part time employees may not be paid on a 12 month schedule, they may be paid hourly monthly. 143 00:24:41,970 --> 00:24:44,210 So, those are the two things I noticed. 144 00:24:44,650 --> 00:24:50,630 Can you just have it according to their whatever they sign contract? 145 00:24:50,910 --> 00:24:52,050 And it could be agreed on. Yeah. 146 00:24:52,190 --> 00:24:53,490 I'm sorry. That's the word I'm looking for. 147 00:24:54,470 --> 00:24:57,530 We can accept it doesn't say that in this. 148 00:24:58,050 --> 00:25:00,390 So, we just need to change that slightly. 149 00:25:00,810 --> 00:25:05,270 So, we could pass this provisionally with those changes. 150 00:25:08,790 --> 00:25:18,850 One of the things that I can I start and the employee travel it says 45 miles but like 151 00:25:18,850 --> 00:25:23,190 say if you're going to the great salt lake that makes the employee like you have to pay 152 00:25:23,190 --> 00:25:32,580 for their meal if they buy a meal say if they stop somewhere and I just thought the 45 153 00:25:32,580 --> 00:25:38,180 mile should be a little bit further for just for a meal to be reimbursed to 154 00:25:38,180 --> 00:25:44,460 software. I'm just gonna keep track of these things in a Google doc and I'll 155 00:25:44,460 --> 00:25:48,140 make sure that they're not things that have to happen like maybe there's a 156 00:25:48,140 --> 00:25:53,540 state law related to that and if there is going to go by the 45 miles I don't know 157 00:25:53,540 --> 00:25:57,540 if there's going to be more trouble. Just because we're school it's getting travel 158 00:25:57,540 --> 00:25:58,040 places. 159 00:26:00,340 --> 00:26:01,440 I would just be 160 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,280 careful. And then the other thing is 161 00:26:04,340 --> 00:26:06,840 teacher guests was $25, which 162 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,020 nowadays is my opinion a little low. 163 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,520 I'm pretty sure that is a state law 164 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,960 just to say where or it's pretty common 165 00:26:16,580 --> 00:26:18,580 because where I work, I can't accept 166 00:26:18,580 --> 00:26:20,980 anything more than $25. 167 00:26:21,700 --> 00:26:21,980 Okay. 168 00:26:21,980 --> 00:26:41,860 Yeah, just. I can. Franklin, it's, it can't for the 50. That's what they have in their policies and that I agree. It makes you feel you can actually give a gift that's worth giving. Yeah, okay. I'll ask maybe that is just we can change it. 169 00:26:41,860 --> 00:26:51,840 Um, so gifts we'd like to change to $50 and then meal reimbursements. 170 00:26:52,020 --> 00:26:56,100 Well, I just think a lot of people do more than like more than 25. 171 00:26:56,100 --> 00:27:00,000 So then if say if someone gives you a 30, what you're supposed to go and give it back 172 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,060 and it just seems, I don't know. 173 00:27:02,060 --> 00:27:06,280 Well, there's a policy like you have to, you have to tell. 174 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:07,660 You just disclose it. 175 00:27:07,660 --> 00:27:14,160 you received it. Yeah. Yeah. But it can't be a substantial amount that sounds like you might be 176 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:19,840 okay. So meal reimbursement, what do you think that should be changed to like 60 mile radius or 177 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,780 100 mile radius or 100 178 00:27:26,810 --> 00:27:33,590 mile radius is like probably two hours. And then and then that's a four-hour 179 00:27:33,590 --> 00:27:38,150 round trip. You know what it means? So then that would probably plus whatever they're doing. So that 180 00:27:38,150 --> 00:27:40,510 That would probably be the answer. 181 00:27:41,750 --> 00:27:43,250 Well, no, they're just saying 45. 182 00:27:43,490 --> 00:27:44,290 What does things say? 183 00:27:44,310 --> 00:27:45,310 Sorry, let me find it again. 184 00:27:50,730 --> 00:27:50,970 Okay. 185 00:27:51,770 --> 00:27:53,290 I mean, I, it doesn't matter. 186 00:27:53,410 --> 00:27:53,810 We can have. 187 00:27:54,130 --> 00:27:54,570 We want. 188 00:27:54,730 --> 00:27:57,890 You want me to say like 75 miles. 189 00:27:58,370 --> 00:27:59,930 That's more than 45 miles. 190 00:28:00,010 --> 00:28:01,650 Because then I said it's only 45 miles. 191 00:28:02,290 --> 00:28:02,650 That's. 192 00:28:02,730 --> 00:28:03,950 Yeah, they're just 40 miles. 193 00:28:04,070 --> 00:28:04,830 That's not round trip. 194 00:28:05,130 --> 00:28:05,210 Right. 195 00:28:05,510 --> 00:28:07,310 That's saying 45 miles completely. 196 00:28:07,410 --> 00:28:10,350 So that's like, even if they were to the point of the mountain and back. 197 00:28:10,350 --> 00:28:14,490 that or something like that could be 45 miles since someone's had, right? 198 00:28:14,710 --> 00:28:15,670 Yeah, I don't know. 199 00:28:15,790 --> 00:28:21,470 Okay, all right, I'm gonna, how about, how do we fill about 75 miles or 100 miles or? 200 00:28:25,700 --> 00:28:27,480 Yeah, just 100 miles, let's keep it out. 201 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,560 I'm gonna put 100 miles round trip. 202 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:32,340 Yeah, I think 100 miles. 203 00:28:33,340 --> 00:28:34,320 Okay, got it. 204 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:39,480 And then, Ken, was there anything you wanted me to check on? 205 00:28:39,500 --> 00:28:41,390 Yeah, there was, I was just trying to... 206 00:28:41,390 --> 00:28:51,090 Well, that's the one I just need to just double check, I 207 00:28:55,160 --> 00:29:02,640 just want to make sure it's something about short term, short term debt wouldn't be considered a liability. 208 00:29:03,740 --> 00:29:08,200 And that was in five, six, I believe, just trying to. 209 00:29:12,730 --> 00:29:19,490 So I just wanted to make sure because usually it just be classified under short term liabilities like on the balance sheet. 210 00:29:20,110 --> 00:29:28,350 And so I know that it's fluid so maybe that's why but I just that was one thing just that caught my attention. 211 00:29:28,350 --> 00:29:41,070 So you're going to ask why, yeah, just, yeah, just why wire, wire, you know, maybe I'm reading it wrong, but just I just want to make sure I think it was, sorry, it was 5.9. Sorry. 212 00:29:41,350 --> 00:29:41,890 Let me. 213 00:29:41,990 --> 00:29:46,130 Okay. Well, I think you have a meeting with Damon. 214 00:29:46,250 --> 00:29:46,470 Yes. 215 00:29:47,190 --> 00:29:52,730 I'll just put these notes in there and you can, if I can't make that meeting, then you can ask. 216 00:29:52,730 --> 00:29:59,890 Yeah, it was just yeah, it was just 5.9 so like that was that whole section just what if it's less for the year is 217 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:29,720 Not like count as a liability, I think it should still be count as a liability until it's paid, but I get, but it's usually just under short term liability. So, you know, I'm not an accountant, but I just, I just found that odd. I'm just going to put such and 5.9 explain and then you can talk with her about it. I did notice on the checks. It said that two people need to sign the checks. And so we probably need to get new checks that have. 218 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,300 places for two people to find. 219 00:30:32,780 --> 00:30:37,700 Well, the software that we have, I know, 220 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,520 we should be able to get, like, 221 00:30:42,660 --> 00:30:44,860 should be able to print it off the, 222 00:30:45,540 --> 00:30:46,860 like print off a check. 223 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,240 So we shouldn't have to buy more checks, 224 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:49,520 just the blank paper, 225 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,240 and then it'll print it off with the, 226 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,000 the stub and the two things. 227 00:30:53,180 --> 00:30:55,500 I think we just need to double check on that, 228 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,100 so we don't buy more checks. 229 00:30:57,100 --> 00:31:03,780 Okay. We also need to because I did read that it said you should not do handwritten checks 230 00:31:03,780 --> 00:31:08,800 unless it's like an emergency or something. So if we need to do them through that, we just need 231 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:13,480 to get that figured out before the end. Yeah, yeah. And so we can talk to Damon. I'm getting 232 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:19,420 that done. And then I'm just a man I should close down all my windows before I started this. 233 00:31:20,180 --> 00:31:26,820 The other just section 1.3 it just says and I just wanted to confirm this is that it says 234 00:31:26,820 --> 00:31:32,820 Is the business business business administrator formally reports through the vice chair? Is that correct? 235 00:31:35,750 --> 00:31:37,810 I don't know if that's what it says. 236 00:31:38,290 --> 00:31:42,950 That's what I just want. I'm okay with that. I just want to make sure that that's. 237 00:31:43,790 --> 00:31:49,670 Oh, I think they probably mean, but does it say what they like they report to or they report? 238 00:31:51,170 --> 00:31:54,090 It says through. It's just port. I think it's through. 239 00:31:54,090 --> 00:31:59,290 think you know I think you need to change it to 200 miles to go in best 240 00:31:59,290 --> 00:32:05,070 felt like back that's like okay okay that's for the while he's looking at it 241 00:32:05,070 --> 00:32:10,810 Terry. 200 miles is a long way that's a long way to go in the salt lake and 242 00:32:10,810 --> 00:32:15,950 back is that's okay Michelle that's just fine you know what I'll do like one 243 00:32:15,950 --> 00:32:20,530 30 because that would be salt lake and back that's not okay yeah like one 244 00:32:20,530 --> 00:32:36,390 30. Yeah, I don't know. We if we can do 200, I guess, but that 200 could be like four hours. Yeah, that's that's a long drive for about 130 that way, like if you're on us to say if you're on a field trip, though, like is that Salt Lake. 245 00:32:37,190 --> 00:32:42,250 Yeah, that means you're that means you're responsible if you're on a field trip, Salt Lake to feed the teachers. 246 00:32:43,810 --> 00:32:53,310 Yeah, so if it's more than 130 miles, yeah, so I think 130 were safe, so because salt 247 00:32:53,310 --> 00:32:58,550 likes like 60 miles, right? I don't know. I'll do 150. There we go. Okay. 248 00:33:00,990 --> 00:33:02,370 Can you read that section 249 00:33:02,370 --> 00:33:08,490 on the BA? I think that just means that the business assistant reports to the vice chair who then 250 00:33:08,490 --> 00:33:13,630 reports to the board. Yeah exactly exactly that's that's what it means so it's not I'm not 251 00:33:13,630 --> 00:33:18,950 his boss and that's not that's I just want to make sure that that's the it's clear you're saying 252 00:33:18,950 --> 00:33:26,550 clear yeah yeah and we can alter things in the future it possibly but we maybe we just need to 253 00:33:26,550 --> 00:33:31,790 ask that about that but I think that's fine um yeah okay okay and then anything else Ken that you 254 00:33:31,790 --> 00:33:37,890 wanted to know everything else look good all the other stuff you you would recognize more than I would 255 00:33:37,890 --> 00:33:39,630 because I'm not in the educational space. 256 00:33:39,910 --> 00:33:43,470 So, yeah, we'll see because there were a lot of, 257 00:33:43,470 --> 00:33:45,410 I mean, it's a lot of things in there. 258 00:33:45,530 --> 00:33:48,430 I think the biggest thing that is anytime we do anything, 259 00:33:48,590 --> 00:33:51,110 we just need to check back with this 260 00:33:51,110 --> 00:33:53,790 and see if it's covered somewhere, right? 261 00:33:53,930 --> 00:33:55,190 So, we're doing something. 262 00:33:55,770 --> 00:33:59,170 So, so, so, so how do we do this now? 263 00:33:59,290 --> 00:34:02,730 Do we, do we check on these changes and adopt it next time 264 00:34:02,730 --> 00:34:04,430 or do we need to have it in place now 265 00:34:04,430 --> 00:34:06,390 because we're having the funds come. 266 00:34:06,390 --> 00:34:09,910 And you tell me, Carrie, how do we do that? 267 00:34:10,030 --> 00:34:10,690 I think we're just a second. 268 00:34:10,890 --> 00:34:17,500 I think we're going to go ahead and vote on it pending. 269 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:19,840 These are the ones. 270 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:20,760 Let's vote on it. 271 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,960 And then we may make changes in the next sport meeting 272 00:34:24,430 --> 00:34:25,020 if needed. 273 00:34:25,660 --> 00:34:27,060 So that's not going to have changes. 274 00:34:28,060 --> 00:34:29,380 Yeah, OK, we can do that. 275 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,640 There are a couple of things that they're not 276 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,840 going to matter for a while, like the retirement, the 12 277 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:43,340 month. So we can we can always amend it. Yes. Yeah.

Okay. Reba, is there anything you wanted us 283 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:07,340 to bring up? 284 00:35:11,340 --> 00:35:16,990 All right. Let's go back to the wait. Can I just bring something to the board's 285 00:35:16,990 --> 00:35:27,970 extension. Yes. If you go to above 2.5 policy, yeah, the policy read before 2.5. If you click on 286 00:35:27,970 --> 00:35:35,450 the financial and HR procedure document, that actually links to a completely different school. 287 00:35:36,390 --> 00:35:43,650 Yeah, this is based on an advisor from another school. So this is a draft that we're reviewing. 288 00:35:45,170 --> 00:35:54,110 That's fair. I was just saying it might be confusing because then you click on that and it's completely set of another school, I guess. 289 00:35:54,950 --> 00:36:05,330 Well, let me let me click on it again, but we may just need to I think it's because this is a draft that will change, but sorry, where was that on what page? 290 00:36:06,110 --> 00:36:08,770 So right about 2.5. 291 00:36:10,730 --> 00:36:11,130 Oh 292 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:25,980 yeah, so what we need to do is just put in there, just update links because it's a live document, just update links to our own policies. 293 00:36:26,780 --> 00:36:38,260 That's good. That's good catch from. Thank you so check links and review trying to think that there's anything else on here that something else was highlighted. 294 00:36:43,060 --> 00:36:53,000 I just just want to make sure that that's the right path. I just that's fine. I'm okay with it. I just wanted to make be clear. It's this what you already brought up or yeah, that's what I brought up. So. 295 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:55,760 Yeah, 296 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,600 we're just fine because I'm working with Damon now. 297 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:07,160 Is it? 298 00:37:15,110 --> 00:37:19,710 Okay, so essentially this is just saying that the school's there and the vice chair will 299 00:37:19,710 --> 00:37:24,650 work with the businesses and it says may work with the business assistant so it's not 300 00:37:24,650 --> 00:37:26,470 like they have to the direct business. 301 00:37:27,370 --> 00:37:34,230 So once we're up and going, the director and the business administrator basically run these 302 00:37:34,230 --> 00:37:41,090 things day to day and report back to the board, but right now it's, you know, we're doing 303 00:37:41,090 --> 00:37:46,190 a lot of these things because we have an especially higher people that are being paid in those 304 00:37:46,190 --> 00:37:52,630 positions. So I think that's the way. Specifically, the director shall have this sole responsibility 305 00:37:52,630 --> 00:38:00,070 in authority to authorize or approve matters or the following. So yeah, I think we're good there. 306 00:38:00,630 --> 00:38:08,050 Okay. Okay. As long as we're okay with that. All right. Let me go back to my document. 307 00:38:08,050 --> 00:38:10,130 Make a note on that. Thanks, Rob. 308 00:38:17,620 --> 00:38:25,740 So just update links to our policies. Is that correct? Yeah, exactly. So we should have them all. 309 00:38:46,150 --> 00:38:51,710 I mean, we do have a fiscal policy in place. It's just not this fiscal policy. 310 00:38:52,230 --> 00:38:59,510 So I guess we have a choice. We can go ahead and pass this contingent on the things that we brought up here. 311 00:38:59,510 --> 00:39:02,330 or we can wait until our September board meeting 312 00:39:02,770 --> 00:39:04,950 to pass our updated fiscal policy. 313 00:39:05,950 --> 00:39:09,290 I think we need to probably pass it 314 00:39:09,290 --> 00:39:13,170 and then make amendments in September 315 00:39:13,170 --> 00:39:14,630 would be my signature. 316 00:39:15,170 --> 00:39:17,490 Yeah, okay, yeah, that's one. 317 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:22,200 I mean, we don't have to pass it 318 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:23,480 if we don't agree with it. 319 00:39:23,620 --> 00:39:24,800 I'm not saying you have to pass it 320 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,160 but we could at least vote on it. 321 00:39:26,580 --> 00:39:27,380 We can vote on it. 322 00:39:27,380 --> 00:39:54,020 So moving to our fiscal policy, right here, see, I move that, or I motion that we approve the fiscal policy as written and then make modifications in September if needed. 323 00:39:57,540 --> 00:39:59,220 Okay.

So that's being 455 00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:05,960 worked on. Hopefully that'll be back the end of this week. And then we're just waiting on 456 00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:16,100 Um, uh, really the main thing for the, is the, the traffic, the, the power, I'm just waiting on an estimate for that question. 457 00:51:17,500 --> 00:51:21,240 Which one is considered a, which one is considered B? 458 00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:31,360 The original side of the plan B, yeah, we won't talk about the actual locations in an opening, yeah, but, but the original, the original side of the plan B. 459 00:51:31,720 --> 00:51:35,560 And then the other side, okay, the second side is plan B. 460 00:51:36,380 --> 00:51:37,800 That's what I want to know. Thank you. 461 00:51:37,820 --> 00:51:37,960 Yeah. 462 00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:43,240 And so that's how we're doing it. 463 00:51:44,820 --> 00:51:46,020 And what else? 464 00:51:46,220 --> 00:51:50,040 And then what else do you want me to say about the building? 465 00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:50,980 We're still working. 466 00:51:51,020 --> 00:51:56,880 Hopefully I love the designs and things fairly down by this week. 467 00:51:56,980 --> 00:51:58,960 You think carrier next week or two? 468 00:51:59,180 --> 00:52:05,560 Yeah, I think this week the building will be pretty much complete in terms of the design. 469 00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:17,300 And then probably the whole barn that has a couple classrooms and the lunchroom gym and storage areas and things like that, possibly a stage, but that might have to come later. 470 00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:25,160 That will be finished probably a little bit further in the future, but the building is pretty much nailed down. 471 00:52:25,940 --> 00:52:30,020 And the site plan is pretty much nailed down, so it's kind of where we're at. 472 00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:46,580 Yeah, I don't know. That's we're we're a little bit in limbo. So, you know, hopefully in our next board meeting, we'll, we'll have more to report on that one. 473 00:52:47,060 --> 00:52:48,120 So okay, 474 00:52:51,230 --> 00:52:56,330 any questions before we move on to the update on curriculum materials, stuff like that. 475 00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:09,960 Okay, so this is where we're on the curriculum materials as I have requested materials from the great minds to review. 476 00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:20,380 and so I've been reviewing literacy while ELA and math materials and I would 477 00:53:20,380 --> 00:53:26,160 recommend the Great Minds Curriculum for a couple of reasons and the first 478 00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:31,300 reason is they actually do a lot of connections to place-based education like 479 00:53:31,300 --> 00:53:37,920 one of the culminating projects is like for this like watershed in oceans is 480 00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:45,360 take kids out to a local watershed area like the Utah Lake or the proper river or something 481 00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:52,940 would be for us. So it does do a good job incorporating indoor outdoor education and then the 482 00:53:52,940 --> 00:54:01,800 other thing I really like about it is that it's thematic. So for example, the one I was just reading 483 00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:09,360 through how the theme was like waterways or something like that. But then in the waterways 484 00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:17,380 for ELA, it incorporates informational text, poetry, not- Oh, no, you're good. Thank 485 00:54:17,380 --> 00:54:27,360 you. Thank you. Sorry, someone is just at my door. And it incorporates all of the interdisciplinary 486 00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:32,180 disciplinary focus. There's an interdisciplinary focus, and that is a big part of what we do with 487 00:54:32,180 --> 00:54:39,540 play space education. What it doesn't do, and this would be another program, so ELA, I don't know if 488 00:54:39,540 --> 00:54:45,940 you're familiar, is separate from literacy. So it's an aspect of literacy, but it's not like teaching 489 00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:51,820 children that don't know how to read, how to read. That's a different program, and that usually happens in 490 00:54:51,820 --> 00:55:00,040 like K12 and then you kind of move on to more of like an ELA with literacy support in 491 00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:04,800 third grade and then third grade is a really important benchmark year for literacy. 492 00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:13,800 So that's my recommendation is that we go for our core subjects with great minds math. 493 00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:21,520 It's called eureka math and great minds ELA and then I will be looking for another 494 00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:29,140 program for early years literacy and this is basically like in the morning core classes 495 00:55:29,140 --> 00:55:34,420 or you know in the half day core classes before they go out and do a lot of their play 496 00:55:34,420 --> 00:55:41,280 space education curriculum which is that's what I you know we I will work on designing 497 00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:49,020 that but that's separate from this so anyway anyway any questions on that curriculum and then 498 00:55:49,020 --> 00:55:51,700 And I have a couple things to mention about music as well. 499 00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:57,220 The one question I have, so with the great minds and then I think that's great. 500 00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:02,140 So then you look at that curriculum and then try and tie it into the play space. 501 00:56:02,300 --> 00:56:08,200 Is that why you're going to try and create your play space curriculum on is trying to tie 502 00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:16,180 it back to that or is it there will be there will be some crossover but it there will be 503 00:56:16,180 --> 00:56:16,920 some crossover. 504 00:56:17,460 --> 00:56:17,760 Yeah. 505 00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:29,580 So what we're doing and what's in our whatever it's our state charter authority approval is we 506 00:56:30,240 --> 00:56:38,440 there's we have four themes for four years that re that rotate we could adjust that and then with 507 00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:44,080 so for example i think it's the first year but i can't remember it's like mountains valleys deserts 508 00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:48,720 and waterways or something like that or it might be like mountains and valleys deserts, waterways and 509 00:56:48,720 --> 00:56:55,540 something else. And so each quarter we're focusing on those things and then the next year it's 510 00:56:55,540 --> 00:57:01,280 something else and something else and something else. And so there are a lot of ways that we can 511 00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:09,240 tie into the grape mines curriculum, but there may be some things where you know we take it in a 512 00:57:09,240 --> 00:57:13,880 little bit different direction. But what I like about the Great Minds is it's such a high level 513 00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:21,260 versus like core knowledge, which is a good program, but it's what Nibbo and a lot of other 514 00:57:21,260 --> 00:57:29,320 districts use. It's more like history-focused or something, so they might have a module on like 515 00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:36,920 ancient Greece, right? Well, it's hard to do a lot of things just with ancient Greece, but if you 516 00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:45,140 have a higher level like oceans and waterways then you could still talk about like Odysseus in the 517 00:57:45,140 --> 00:57:52,640 Odyssey but yet you're not so linked to like the Greeks and so that's why I think it in a lot 518 00:57:52,640 --> 00:58:00,720 of ways it's better. It also ties in like art and music and poetry and math and science in a way 519 00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:06,120 that I don't think core knowledge necessarily always does, so that's why I like it. 520 00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:11,140 I do have some materials you're welcome to review them, but I've got to send them back 521 00:58:11,140 --> 00:58:18,460 probably in a week or two. So, and then the other thing I wanted to mention is so the curriculum 522 00:58:18,460 --> 00:58:23,980 for place-based education, that's something that I've done for quite a while, and I have a template 523 00:58:23,980 --> 00:58:30,200 for it, but that's something that I'm probably doing more as we can talk about that in another 524 00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:38,640 meeting. So that I've actually hired someone that will do, well, I don't know, not through 525 00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:47,660 the school, but I've personally hired someone that will do the whole design so that when 526 00:58:47,660 --> 00:58:53,240 they're given to the teachers and things like that, it's a very well developed design. 527 00:58:53,240 --> 00:59:00,580 I'm trying to think what the name is, what is that called when people design graphic design? 528 00:59:00,940 --> 00:59:05,460 I've hired someone to do some graphic design, so they'll take what I've created and then 529 00:59:05,460 --> 00:59:08,000 kind of make it publishable quality. 530 00:59:09,740 --> 00:59:17,460 And then the last thing is I'd really like to use what's called, I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing 531 00:59:17,460 --> 00:59:17,920 this correctly. 532 00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:26,480 I think it's Kodei or Coldplay music because anyone heard of that, I'm going to see if I can look it up really quick, but I just probably stop sharing my screen. 533 00:59:30,900 --> 00:59:32,460 Kodei, I think it's Kodei. 534 00:59:33,420 --> 00:59:43,440 So Kodei music, I could be pronouncing it wrong. It's essentially using a lot of like movement and outdoors in music. 535 00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:51,660 So I had a parent reach out to me and kind of talk to me about it, and then I did a bunch of research on it. 536 00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:59,500 And there's actually quite a few experts in the area that are related to like BYU and music students that know this method. 537 00:59:59,500 --> 00:59:59,980 and then I... 538 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:29,760 Former teacher that I worked with is an expert. So that's a direction I'd like to go with music, but it might be something you want to look into just so you have a little bit of background on it. I can send you some information. And then when it comes to art, I'll also obviously do art and design inside, but I think we really want to focus on doing art and design outsides as well. So like playing air, you know, just doing a lot of of creation things like that outside. 539 01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:40,200 And with natural landscapes and with natural products so that we're typing tying in the place-based education across all of the concepts. 540 01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:45,640 So that's something I've been working on and if anyone has any questions or ideas, we can talk about that for a little bit as well. 541 01:00:53,010 --> 01:00:56,550 All right, sounds like no one's worried about curriculum, so we'll move on. 542 01:00:57,670 --> 01:01:00,130 If you could just send us stuff and appreciate that, that would be great. 543 01:01:00,990 --> 01:01:06,270 And I would say you could even like Google great minds and there's some examples on there, 544 01:01:06,630 --> 01:01:07,690 but I'll send you the music. 545 01:01:07,690 --> 01:01:08,050 Okay. 546 01:01:08,310 --> 01:01:11,610 Just try looking it up and I don't think I'm wanting it. 547 01:01:12,070 --> 01:01:12,390 Okay. 548 01:01:12,570 --> 01:01:12,630 Yeah. 549 01:01:12,650 --> 01:01:13,950 I can send that to you. 550 01:01:15,590 --> 01:01:15,990 Updating. 551 01:01:16,390 --> 01:01:17,370 But that sounds wonderful. 552 01:01:17,570 --> 01:01:17,950 I think it. 553 01:01:18,850 --> 01:01:19,990 I think it'll be good. 554 01:01:20,230 --> 01:01:20,510 Okay. 555 01:01:20,810 --> 01:01:22,710 And then update on marketing. 556 01:01:22,710 --> 01:01:31,870 Um, so we're, I just got an update today on our numbers. Let me pull that up really fast. 557 01:01:33,310 --> 01:01:34,170 So 558 01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:51,960 we're at 888. So almost 900 earlier today on the students and 436 of coming from 436 families. 559 01:01:51,960 --> 01:02:00,840 and my goal, I would really love to be at, I mean, do these numbers really fast. 560 01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:02,840 You'd go with another 600? 561 01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:17,540 No, I'd like to be at 1056 by the end of August, which is 168 students. 562 01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:36,980 So that's my goal by the end of August. I think with our activity tomorrow we can really make a huge push towards that, which is why I'm a little concerned, you know, we've invested in this activity that we have tomorrow. 563 01:02:39,100 --> 01:02:46,980 I think we need to find a way to not require people to sign up, but take a book, but strongly 564 01:02:46,980 --> 01:02:48,120 encourage it. 565 01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:48,600 I don't know. 566 01:02:48,760 --> 01:02:52,600 I just don't want it to be like, oh, take a book and they don't care, you know, at all 567 01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:54,220 about the school or something like that. 568 01:02:54,340 --> 01:02:59,560 Or show me your interest list or whatever, like, do they get an email when they sign up? 569 01:03:00,340 --> 01:03:00,620 Yeah. 570 01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:03,740 So maybe show us your, your, your, your on our list. 571 01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:08,040 Well, we talked about that in our activities meeting 572 01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:10,040 right before this and the parents, 573 01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:13,120 which I understand the parents that are on that meeting 574 01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:17,020 are like, it might be kind of a turn off to be like take a book, 575 01:03:17,140 --> 01:03:18,480 but you've got to sign up for the list. 576 01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:22,000 I think there's got to be some kind of a happy middle there, 577 01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:24,960 though, so that it's not like that. 578 01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:29,140 What's working for us at the, you know, 579 01:03:29,300 --> 01:03:33,360 like at these farmers markets is just basically 580 01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:37,440 get them excited and say yeah if you go on sign up you'll get updates like they 581 01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:41,520 want no more about school sign up and you'll get updates regular updates and 582 01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:46,480 that should be enough encouragement you know get a book and just say look we 583 01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:50,220 really appreciate it if if you're not on our list to sign up on our list that would 584 01:03:50,220 --> 01:03:53,400 really help us out whether or not you're wanting to go to the school you know 585 01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:57,740 mean just just okay to phrase it that way is like they're doing you a favor as 586 01:03:57,740 --> 01:04:02,560 we're doing them a favor and see what happens I agree we'll just need to make 587 01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:07,360 make sure then that, you know, Michelle, I sense you are going to be there and I'm kind 588 01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:12,460 of going to be ending out because I have some other meetings tomorrow that we're actually 589 01:04:12,460 --> 01:04:17,080 saying now.
