1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,460
Okay. North Star Academy's Board Meeting held April 6th, 2026, is called to order at, oh, held

2
00:00:09,460 --> 00:00:15,080
at North Star Academy in BLEFdale, is called to order at 4.32 p.m., those are in attendance

3
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:22,060
are me, Sydney Warnick. Tom Archer, Director. Diocidal Assistant Director. Camila Figger,

4
00:00:22,060 --> 00:00:28,600
Board Member. Jordan Shields, Board Member. Kathy Hirst. Bob Bell, Board Member. Bart Sloan,

5
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:29,540
board member.

6
00:00:31,900 --> 00:00:38,000
Okay. Welcome everybody. Let's get started with our public comment.

7
00:00:40,700 --> 00:00:42,240
Yep. Yep.

8
00:00:46,780 --> 00:00:53,180
Okay. Just first off my name is Eric Cooper. I know several of you personally my wife works

9
00:00:53,180 --> 00:00:58,160
here as well. So before I say anything I just want to say thank you to all of you. I really appreciate

10
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:04,060
everything you do. Having my kids here has been a blessing. It's been an answer to

11
00:01:04,060 --> 00:01:09,740
hers. So please just know that. I hope that my comments today don't affect your

12
00:01:09,740 --> 00:01:12,440
relationship with my wife at all. She loves everyone.

13
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:16,840
That being said, I have

14
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:21,520
significant concerns regarding a recent assembly back in like March, which a

15
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:26,840
self-described LGBT artist and activist was invited to perform a 2D entire

16
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:33,080
school without notice being given to parents. This content available online is riddled with

17
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:38,080
sexual undertones, cross-dressing, nudity, and pretty much everything you'd expect in

18
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:44,440
this day and age. My personal views aside about that community, I have deep concern and

19
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,180
anger at the clear lack of judgment leading up to and after the event.

20
00:01:49,180 --> 00:01:54,920
Leading up to the event seems either one or two scenarios are true. One, the artist background

21
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,740
was not properly vetted prior to the assembly for two.

22
00:01:58,740 --> 00:02:01,720
His background was vetted and deemed worthy of putting

23
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,920
on display in front of kindergarten through 9th grade

24
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,160
age students who, without no disappearance,

25
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,020
all scenarios were unacceptable in my opinion.

26
00:02:09,940 --> 00:02:11,640
After the assembly was over, no attempt

27
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:14,620
was, at least to my knowledge, was made

28
00:02:14,620 --> 00:02:16,700
to inform parents regarding the individual that performed

29
00:02:16,700 --> 00:02:19,940
his message, content of his show, or why he was invited.

30
00:02:20,220 --> 00:02:20,520
Nothing.

31
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,840
I find this just as infuriating as a decision

32
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:23,860
to allow him to perform.

33
00:02:23,860 --> 00:02:29,880
In my opinion, the school and the admin should communicate out to parents who this person

34
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:35,060
is, and who their children are exposed to, in full regarding his social media accounts

35
00:02:35,060 --> 00:02:40,160
and other online, online footprint that may be available, and the reason the school felt

36
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,700
the content of the show would be appropriate and worthy of the children's time and attention.

37
00:02:44,300 --> 00:02:49,260
Parents should have this info so they can decide anyone if there's anything that they need

38
00:02:49,260 --> 00:02:50,500
to address at home with their kids.

39
00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:55,540
I fear that in the name of tolerance and inclusivity, we are rapidly sacrificing and compromising

40
00:02:55,540 --> 00:03:00,220
our principles and morals in sacrificing our children's innocent, childless, to things

41
00:03:00,220 --> 00:03:02,260
that are worthy of that sacrifice.

42
00:03:03,020 --> 00:03:08,300
I realize certain people view my stance or may view my stance as bigoted or close-minded,

43
00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:13,140
irrespectfully, and wholeheartedly disagree and say to each of you that our children's

44
00:03:13,140 --> 00:03:17,840
are the best, that we can give them, and we need to make sure that's what we're offering

45
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:18,020
them.

46
00:03:18,500 --> 00:03:18,840
Thank you.

47
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:24,480
Okay. Thank you, Eric. I appreciate that. So just so you know, we won't respond now

48
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:30,020
in a moment unless someone has any clarifying questions, we will respond in writing.

49
00:03:30,420 --> 00:03:30,660
Absolutely.

50
00:03:31,020 --> 00:03:37,460
Okay. Thank you. Appreciate that. All right. Do any of you have any questions at the moment?

51
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:43,220
It'll take a little bit of time to hold them together, but no problem with reference.

52
00:03:43,220 --> 00:03:44,420
So I'm excited tomorrow.

53
00:03:44,820 --> 00:03:45,600
Yeah, it's only interesting.

54
00:03:46,340 --> 00:03:47,540
OK, thank you.

55
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:49,920
All right, appreciate that.

56
00:03:50,060 --> 00:03:52,800
All right, so board training is next.

57
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,320
We're not going to actually, I just

58
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,960
were opening up the floor just for any comments or questions

59
00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:02,220
on the student conducting discipline policy

60
00:04:02,220 --> 00:04:05,320
or the SPED policy manual just in general.

61
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,700
Having looked through those, do you guys have any specific questions?

62
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:09,820
OK.

63
00:04:10,660 --> 00:04:13,420
So let's move on to our director's report.

64
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:15,240
All right.

65
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,760
Well, let's start with our incredible guests.

66
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,840
Because we have so many amazing students.

67
00:04:23,100 --> 00:04:27,280
But I'm going to scroll down a little bit on the director's report to bring up the students who came today.

68
00:04:27,780 --> 00:04:31,000
Miss McKinnell, do you want to come on up and introduce these students that came?

69
00:04:31,180 --> 00:04:31,620
No, you don't.

70
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:33,160
Just like, no, I just want to share them on.

71
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:33,860
All right.

72
00:04:34,300 --> 00:04:35,720
Could I have you for come on up?

73
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,920
Do we get out four of them to you're just the three?

74
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:40,020
Just the three?

75
00:04:40,180 --> 00:04:40,320
Okay.

76
00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:41,320
Here's Wayne, come on out.

77
00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:42,600
Appreciate you.

78
00:04:43,020 --> 00:04:44,200
Do you see the bubble bottles too?

79
00:04:44,420 --> 00:04:44,820
They're over there.

80
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:45,460
Okay.

81
00:04:45,620 --> 00:04:46,120
Oh, thank you, Bart.

82
00:04:47,220 --> 00:04:47,360
Thanks.

83
00:04:48,260 --> 00:04:48,580
All right.

84
00:04:48,860 --> 00:04:54,880
So, we had 10 students who went from the charter school fair,

85
00:04:55,340 --> 00:04:57,600
from North Star to the next one and got to advance.

86
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,860
And of those 10, we had, thank you so much.

87
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,260
Thank you so much.

88
00:05:02,260 --> 00:05:05,120
We had these three and another one,

89
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,940
and who all received five.

90
00:05:08,140 --> 00:05:09,940
Well, six got special awards, right?

91
00:05:10,340 --> 00:05:13,560
Was it a, see I told you Monat, you should've said it.

92
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,300
Because they also loved to be the science stem long names.

93
00:05:16,540 --> 00:05:17,960
But these guys did amazing.

94
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,240
I want to talk specifically about the four in a second.

95
00:05:20,340 --> 00:05:20,560
Go ahead.

96
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:23,300
So we did have five students on awards.

97
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,220
Four of them earned additional awards.

98
00:05:28,180 --> 00:05:28,580
Very good.

99
00:05:28,900 --> 00:05:31,900
And the three that are here, I would like them to share.

100
00:05:32,340 --> 00:05:33,940
Yeah, I'm going to have them talk about their project.

101
00:05:33,940 --> 00:05:51,420
So these are three of the four, though, that not only were achieved a special award, but it went on to there's it's called a STEM award that they're asking for them to submit their projects now, and they're being considered for finalists because they're in the top 6% in the nation to go to DC.

102
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:52,660
Like this is incredible.

103
00:05:54,020 --> 00:06:01,280
It's incredible the 10 that went it's made that the others got awards, but these four it was a new opportunity that I wasn't even aware of and so

104
00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:09,660
I would love to hear if you don't mind tell them the board that I just want to celebrate with you guys if you wouldn't mind just saying your name and what was the award you

105
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:12,180
Tells about your project

106
00:06:12,180 --> 00:06:14,260
And who's going to win Nationals?

107
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:16,220
No pressure.

108
00:06:17,780 --> 00:06:18,920
Am I going to start?

109
00:06:19,300 --> 00:06:19,440
Go ahead.

110
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,040
Um, I'm Dean White.

111
00:06:21,340 --> 00:06:23,040
My project was on like,

112
00:06:23,220 --> 00:06:24,460
bacteria around the school,

113
00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:26,320
basically I have bacteria

114
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:27,760
and skulls from around the school.

115
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:28,560
That makes me nervous.

116
00:06:29,980 --> 00:06:30,120
Oh.

117
00:06:30,420 --> 00:06:31,440
We got another result.

118
00:06:32,340 --> 00:06:34,520
And I watched the growth of them

119
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,600
and the ones that had the most

120
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,800
were the boy-battery falset handle

121
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,140
from the office film.

122
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,320
Oh, you know what? That does not surprise me either, though.

123
00:06:45,860 --> 00:06:50,540
Exactly. This is type three. So as I'm going around,

124
00:06:50,620 --> 00:06:52,340
I'm meeting with the kids and I'm talking with them.

125
00:06:52,420 --> 00:06:53,680
And I'm so impressed with so many projects.

126
00:06:54,100 --> 00:06:55,800
Came back and I was like, oh, one second.

127
00:06:55,900 --> 00:06:57,220
So I went and got our building off person.

128
00:06:57,660 --> 00:06:59,620
Come here. We got to make sure you know that we got to

129
00:06:59,620 --> 00:07:00,520
spass us on them.

130
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,600
Because kids are calling home sick.

131
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,720
The calling home sick. Exactly.

132
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,260
And then the bathrooms may or not.

133
00:07:06,420 --> 00:07:08,920
Yeah, you're turning on the faucet after you've done.

134
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,940
Yeah, we need some signage in there.

135
00:07:13,580 --> 00:07:19,160
I'm curious how you got the idea to do that for what was the reason you decided to have

136
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:19,920
that as interest.

137
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:25,440
I like watching the growth of bacteria so I kind of wanted to do something with that and

138
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,020
this told me something about the school that I know.

139
00:07:30,100 --> 00:07:30,540
Awesome.

140
00:07:30,780 --> 00:07:31,180
Thank you.

141
00:07:31,660 --> 00:07:31,720
Awesome.

142
00:07:31,860 --> 00:07:32,560
Thank you.

143
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:41,780
My name is Anaea. My project was about how, like, about oil-leading bacteria and how a group of bacteria would

144
00:07:41,780 --> 00:07:52,760
they degrade more oil than just a single bacteria. My results were that the single type of bacteria degraded more oil over 30 days than the group of bacteria.

145
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,440
Wow! That's awesome. That's awesome. That's awesome.

146
00:08:00,260 --> 00:08:05,220
Oh, I got a NASA Earth and Science Award and I won Grand Champ.

147
00:08:06,060 --> 00:08:07,660
Amazing! Congratulations!

148
00:08:08,300 --> 00:08:10,280
Nice to meet you.

149
00:08:11,740 --> 00:08:13,740
How about you? Go ahead and start yours.

150
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:19,400
My name is Ethan Wu and for my project I did some testing on fencing shoes.

151
00:08:20,660 --> 00:08:24,880
Fencing is a sport where like it's a good shortplay sport

152
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,700
and I compared a specialized fencing shoe with other

153
00:08:28,700 --> 00:08:33,480
other shoes and performed test to see if the specialized fencing shoe was

154
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,960
actually better than other shoes. And

155
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,380
based on my results it was. The

156
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,120
material used to make it was very lightweight so you could easily move around in it

157
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:49,080
and it has the right amount of the coefficient of fiction so it has

158
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,500
not too few grip or not too much grip.

159
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,660
And so do you feel like you'll be able to use the information you gained from your science

160
00:09:02,660 --> 00:09:04,000
experiment and your fencing?

161
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,640
I'm crushing to some of the things that you've used to face so much.

162
00:09:09,020 --> 00:09:09,380
Awesome.

163
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:13,760
All right.

164
00:09:13,980 --> 00:09:17,000
Well, I just think we talk about, I'm going to show you, we talk about students and I just love

165
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,080
start in these meetings off with some of the kids that there's so many across the board

166
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,960
talents and interests that kids are doing well but I mean this is like stuff that's like

167
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:29,280
this is top top when you're at that high of a level and being invited to do these type

168
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,880
of opportunities. One of the things they asked me said you know as a seventh grader you know

169
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,740
you can next year it's an optional if you want to participate or would you want to do it

170
00:09:35,740 --> 00:09:39,120
and it was neat each was like yeah I kind of learned what I wanted to on this I'd like to do something

171
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:44,180
different next time so I think that was kind of neat too to see but again. You guys cheer each other

172
00:09:44,180 --> 00:09:47,940
We're on to see if one of us can win nationals.

173
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,280
Like are you guys looking at each other, the projects,

174
00:09:50,560 --> 00:09:51,320
and you can be back?

175
00:09:53,460 --> 00:09:53,820
Awesome.

176
00:09:54,380 --> 00:09:57,140
All right, well, their advisor, Ms. McKinnell,

177
00:09:57,140 --> 00:09:57,840
great job to you.

178
00:09:57,980 --> 00:09:59,120
We sure appreciate your help with that.

179
00:09:59,220 --> 00:09:59,600
We're fantastic.

180
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,100
And we were talking, because we hadn't seen this award before.

181
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:04,040
I was like, this isn't new.

182
00:10:04,180 --> 00:10:05,460
If I look at it, it looks very historic.

183
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:06,240
Like it's been around.

184
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,940
So we had didn't recall any of our students ever advancing.

185
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,640
And this year four, it was pretty neat to see.

186
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:24,340
So cream the crop right there. We get a picture of you guys with the board members. All right, and then we just have from we'll get have a little something for each of you. Okay.

187
00:10:25,940 --> 00:10:28,220
How did you mind taking that photo for us?

188
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,320
Miss McKellin, do you want to join?

189
00:10:32,540 --> 00:10:38,040
I'm just trying to speak out. Yeah, we see you. Come on. You ended up talking anyway. So where does look?

190
00:10:40,260 --> 00:10:45,100
Come right right in the front. We'll come turn around right here. Yeah, come towards me.

191
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,280
Yeah, stand right here back against the dust.

192
00:10:49,560 --> 00:10:51,140
Thank you. Try to cover me.

193
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,440
Thank you. Thank you.

194
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,220
All right. You can tuck it in there.

195
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,380
All right. All right. All right.

196
00:11:01,380 --> 00:11:02,180
All right. I'll see you happen.

197
00:11:04,340 --> 00:11:04,780
All

198
00:11:08,940 --> 00:11:10,300
right. You guys, congratulations.

199
00:11:10,300 --> 00:11:15,580
All right, thanks guys, you're always welcome to stay, but it's their lawn and they're not always that fun

200
00:11:15,580 --> 00:11:21,340
So you're welcome to stay and know what that might be and they're always fun. What is she talking about?

201
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,540
All right, that

202
00:11:28,940 --> 00:11:29,680
is so exciting

203
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:38,040
Love it the 10 moving on, but I mean when this came in I got their certificates asking if they'd be interested in submitting to be considered for it

204
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,960
I was like I had to go to miss a can of it

205
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,180
I've not seen this before.

206
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:42,500
Drought on it.

207
00:11:42,680 --> 00:11:44,000
Anyway, she's like, no, it was.

208
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:45,760
And then grand champion that she'd mentioned.

209
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,240
We have a young lady that wasn't here also was a top winning

210
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:49,740
award.

211
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,100
I wasn't sure there was two that were in a partial place

212
00:11:53,100 --> 00:11:53,660
in their division.

213
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,400
So that's amazing.

214
00:11:55,700 --> 00:11:55,960
That's not a word.

215
00:11:56,100 --> 00:11:56,800
They should get to go.

216
00:11:57,020 --> 00:11:58,760
Because I know some of the ones that won that.

217
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,160
And like the Jordan School district level got to go like,

218
00:12:01,380 --> 00:12:03,660
get to go back Easter with them or is that that one?

219
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,140
I didn't get the information that that was the case

220
00:12:06,140 --> 00:12:06,700
because they didn't know.

221
00:12:06,740 --> 00:12:08,260
But if they gave it to, they may have there.

222
00:12:08,260 --> 00:12:11,020
but some of them got cash prizes too, like they do.

223
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,500
So I was going to ask his NASA to get a prize

224
00:12:14,500 --> 00:12:17,780
or a school, a huge grant, so that we can improve our stamina.

225
00:12:18,340 --> 00:12:19,520
Yeah, wouldn't that mean that?

226
00:12:19,860 --> 00:12:21,640
Yeah, the school doesn't get anything.

227
00:12:21,780 --> 00:12:24,660
We pay, they're intrigued, but yeah.

228
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:25,420
Yeah, that's cool.

229
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:26,560
Anyway, it's right here.

230
00:12:26,940 --> 00:12:28,620
So someone will listen in.

231
00:12:29,340 --> 00:12:31,180
No, that's so proud of them.

232
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:31,940
So that's amazing.

233
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,040
Yes, so continuing though with celebrations,

234
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,740
as we talked about, we had the Constitution,

235
00:12:36,740 --> 00:12:42,660
the winning group of Bluffdale City. Since we met last, that group that won at Bluffdale City took

236
00:12:42,660 --> 00:12:48,780
first at the Capitol. We had 28 teams and they were tough. They had to go into play for points at

237
00:12:48,780 --> 00:12:56,200
the end and go in our other team that got to, we got to take, ended up taking private of it in

238
00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:02,120
seventh place. The first six got awards and they had to, they went into a playoff with that team that

239
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:03,860
it took six with the tide point.

240
00:13:04,500 --> 00:13:06,860
And then that went into another elimination one.

241
00:13:06,980 --> 00:13:08,460
So it was really by one question

242
00:13:08,460 --> 00:13:10,360
that they didn't place on those top, which was all.

243
00:13:10,740 --> 00:13:13,840
And this was application of the constitution.

244
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,020
Like it was inspiring as an adult to be there

245
00:13:17,020 --> 00:13:18,520
to go, our future is in good hands.

246
00:13:18,680 --> 00:13:20,780
Like these kids are really knowing their step

247
00:13:20,780 --> 00:13:21,920
and able to talk in the sketch

248
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:22,980
that which I was really proud of.

249
00:13:23,340 --> 00:13:25,940
And one of those in that is a fourth grader.

250
00:13:26,100 --> 00:13:28,260
It was one fourth grader, one fifth grader,

251
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:28,980
and two sixth graders.

252
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:30,320
We did not stack these teams.

253
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,680
It was just as they came in and said hey, I would like to do it all study with you and I said all right

254
00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:40,680
I'll do it over ledge. Okay the first four you're on this team the next four. We really didn't I thought that was interesting, too

255
00:13:40,680 --> 00:13:42,480
All right, then

256
00:13:43,260 --> 00:13:49,080
Yeah, so then we had six of the so the seven graders. We just talked about them as we said there was the grand champion

257
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:53,040
There was there was two first place and then there's other three that got special awards

258
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:58,180
Jack also wasn't it was one that was enabled to make it tonight, but also back in March

259
00:13:58,180 --> 00:14:02,480
We have the annual showcase. I don't know if all of you got a chance to suck some of you

260
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:08,760
But I came home. It was fun to see a lot of those those opportunities and see the kids is they were showing off their

261
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:09,380
Projects

262
00:14:09,380 --> 00:14:15,220
I like it when they have the carnival version of it like in it's mostly in the gym because it's like crazy chaos

263
00:14:15,220 --> 00:14:20,300
But everyone's so engaged and looking at stuff. It's so fun to watch the kids be super into it

264
00:14:20,300 --> 00:14:25,720
I love that because I'm always over like try to you put so much planning into it for safety reasons, right?

265
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:30,700
I mean it's because you got kindergarten and ninth graders and but it was a couple of things that were really neat

266
00:14:30,700 --> 00:14:34,980
Just this time because I have my my cluster was so little I really had to focus on them

267
00:14:34,980 --> 00:14:40,800
But I wanted to make sure I got around to see all the kids and this one of my kindergarten parents the mom

268
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:45,240
Just sat down and just filmed because she was so amazed at watching him

269
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:51,960
Mm-hmm present and talk to people and the girl and going here come here and talking about hydroponics

270
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:56,920
you don't have to do it. And I'm just like I mean it was it was precious because it was

271
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,980
and I mean it was almost like you're like it was been prompted but it was like

272
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:25,780
And then somebody walked by, no, come here. Do you want to stay here? Look at this magnifying glass and look at the root and the plant cycle. And so it wasn't just academic language, but this gal was into it. I didn't say anything. And these were kindergarten first graders teaching about. It really, like it was like, oh, if everybody could see this moment. And anyway, I thought it was cute when the mom just sat down the gym, like, I was going to go around and look at everybody. But I cannot believe my little girl. I'm like, I think she's going to be a teacher.

273
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:36,320
But it is chaotic, it can't be, this is the only way I love it, the energy is so high and it's so happy.

274
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,440
It also wasn't too overstimulating because there's some kids constructed with that too.

275
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:45,400
So there was, we tried to pull it out so that it was out literally on the black top.

276
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:47,920
But they're just so excited.

277
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,400
Everyone's so excited about everything, it's amazing.

278
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,120
Yes, March 25th, kindergarten signing day.

279
00:15:53,660 --> 00:15:55,660
This was that we kind of switched off from kindergarten

280
00:15:55,660 --> 00:15:57,440
round up to find the kindergarteners,

281
00:15:57,500 --> 00:15:59,140
because we've already done that, typically.

282
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,400
And we just, we switched to make it a little bit more

283
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:02,020
of a fun event.

284
00:16:02,180 --> 00:16:04,320
We give them baggies with laugh a bit,

285
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,580
large-sized pencils, scissors that are dual-shaped,

286
00:16:06,780 --> 00:16:09,140
so to begin playing and having fun,

287
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,220
but working and developing fine motor skills,

288
00:16:11,220 --> 00:16:12,680
even between now and then.

289
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:14,800
And when they start school in August,

290
00:16:15,220 --> 00:16:16,340
we did have a great turnout.

291
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,180
We have a nice big banner that's been in SA logo

292
00:16:19,180 --> 00:16:23,600
go and balloons next to it, these large pencils with where the kid gets to try to write their

293
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:28,440
name for their signing. Like, it's a big event. Like when you're going to call it, right?

294
00:16:28,580 --> 00:16:32,680
Or whatever, when you're, since we're a school of choice, they're choosing to come. And so

295
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:37,300
you try to make it more fun for the kids. Great. And then we had a good meeting with the parents,

296
00:16:37,580 --> 00:16:43,340
so introducing kind of what North Star's all about. The next one there, April 9th, we had a record

297
00:16:43,340 --> 00:16:48,980
number of students in grades 4, 5, and 6 this year that wanted to sign up for a math competition

298
00:16:48,980 --> 00:16:51,460
and they would take place over spring break.

299
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,580
Many of them attended a Saturday review session

300
00:16:54,580 --> 00:17:02,120
at a math tutoring company near the tours.

301
00:17:02,380 --> 00:17:04,240
They came and there was a connection with school.

302
00:17:04,340 --> 00:17:05,920
They were like, hey, we'd love to help the kids study

303
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:06,240
for this.

304
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,080
So they came and helped them with a couple of their last

305
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,060
study sessions and they spent that Saturday.

306
00:17:10,180 --> 00:17:11,540
But again, a day on spring break.

307
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:12,840
And so this is they.

308
00:17:12,860 --> 00:17:14,300
On the spring break, on a Saturday.

309
00:17:14,740 --> 00:17:15,140
Wow.

310
00:17:15,180 --> 00:17:17,840
So the Saturday was before spring break, they gave up.

311
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,280
And then it was the Saturday of spring break, yes.

312
00:17:21,180 --> 00:17:22,020
Oh my gosh.

313
00:17:22,300 --> 00:17:23,760
I wondered what those shirts were about.

314
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:25,000
So they voted on.

315
00:17:25,100 --> 00:17:26,920
They wanted their names to be Apple Pies.

316
00:17:27,700 --> 00:17:29,040
North Star Academy, Apple Pies.

317
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:29,900
You could, I love that.

318
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,180
And so they ended up having t-shirts made.

319
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,540
They had seen the Constitution shirts.

320
00:17:34,700 --> 00:17:36,060
They're like, hey, we look like shirts.

321
00:17:36,260 --> 00:17:36,700
I'm sure.

322
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:38,200
You want me to get through spring break?

323
00:17:38,220 --> 00:17:39,240
There's some of those t-shirts.

324
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:39,720
We get it.

325
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:40,420
We get a shirt.

326
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:41,900
And you get the volume of lunches.

327
00:17:42,020 --> 00:17:42,880
You get a t-shirt.

328
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:43,600
That's right.

329
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:44,720
So thank you.

330
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:45,860
A lot of fun is the main thing.

331
00:17:45,860 --> 00:17:46,380
A couple of pictures.

332
00:17:46,380 --> 00:17:51,900
You can see a lot of the students, not everybody's on spring break, but it is still a Saturday, so that is there.

333
00:17:52,820 --> 00:18:00,480
So a lot of celebrations, and again, it's constantly looking for those ways to provide opportunities for talents and interests, right?

334
00:18:00,620 --> 00:18:05,400
I mean, you don't have 27 kids show up for a math competition unless they're interested in math.

335
00:18:05,660 --> 00:18:12,280
I mean, some might have some real eager parents, but these kids that were having fun and laughing and enjoying themselves, which is neat.

336
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:17,360
All right, then we'll kind of jump into the,

337
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,360
oh, I think this just got a little out of order there,

338
00:18:19,700 --> 00:18:22,180
that APR determination that we'll come back to.

339
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,920
Other one, we have our middle school,

340
00:18:28,180 --> 00:18:29,820
or I don't even think it got there

341
00:18:29,820 --> 00:18:32,980
because we just announced it yesterday morning.

342
00:18:33,500 --> 00:18:36,420
So every other year, we do it a little different

343
00:18:36,420 --> 00:18:37,760
for a teacher of the year at North Star,

344
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,300
just like with fact, it's hard to know

345
00:18:40,300 --> 00:18:48,220
whatever teachers are doing, if I'm in special ad or if I'm in a niche group like first grade

346
00:18:48,220 --> 00:18:53,360
or the peer lab. So the teachers nominate each other and then they vote on those based

347
00:18:53,360 --> 00:18:56,120
on the nominations. And then there was a one year where they said, you know, it just

348
00:18:56,120 --> 00:19:00,840
feels like sometimes it's like the loud outspoken one. It's just that their job makes

349
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,660
it so everybody knows about it. So we switched it so every other year, I don't know, three

350
00:19:04,660 --> 00:19:09,020
or four or five years ago, to where every other year admin then takes the last few years

351
00:19:09,020 --> 00:19:11,920
and then also adds in and comes up with those.

352
00:19:12,100 --> 00:19:14,140
So anyway, this one wasn't one of those years.

353
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,220
And Wendy O'Neill was the one that was selected

354
00:19:17,220 --> 00:19:19,580
and a lot of applause and praise.

355
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,820
I mean, just an outstanding teacher

356
00:19:21,820 --> 00:19:23,980
and so just to share a little bit.

357
00:19:24,420 --> 00:19:26,840
She's not only a education, what was said about her.

358
00:19:27,540 --> 00:19:29,100
Exceptional educator deeply committed

359
00:19:29,100 --> 00:19:30,240
to success of every student.

360
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,340
She builds strong, trusting relationships

361
00:19:32,340 --> 00:19:34,060
consistently challenges each learner

362
00:19:34,060 --> 00:19:36,280
no matter where they come in starting out.

363
00:19:36,740 --> 00:19:38,580
Her dedication extends beyond the classroom.

364
00:19:38,580 --> 00:19:42,140
She's valued by her mentor as a mentor to the new teachers.

365
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:43,400
She serves in that role.

366
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,160
She generously shares time, expertise, and encouragement.

367
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,820
She's widely respected, often sought after as a model educator.

368
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,880
As a PLC team lead, she supports colleagues

369
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,640
through data analysis, implementing best practices,

370
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,700
and then joined the Technology Achievement

371
00:19:58,700 --> 00:20:00,980
to Action Co-Wort on how can you use AI

372
00:20:00,980 --> 00:20:03,500
for best practice within the classroom.

373
00:20:03,700 --> 00:20:05,940
So she's helping with that and the training with teachers.

374
00:20:05,940 --> 00:20:11,100
And then she's been here 13 of her 14 years of teaching,

375
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:12,980
but before that was a teaching assistant,

376
00:20:13,180 --> 00:20:15,540
before that a PTO president when her own kids came through.

377
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,800
So, anyway, outstanding examples.

378
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,020
We're excited about that one.

379
00:20:19,360 --> 00:20:20,740
Just didn't get the photo in there.

380
00:20:22,420 --> 00:20:24,660
Next one that I wanted to just...

381
00:20:24,660 --> 00:20:27,980
I think it's a celebration too, which is part of the Director's report.

382
00:20:28,580 --> 00:20:31,120
One of the things we look at, you're there with middle school electives.

383
00:20:31,360 --> 00:20:32,940
Sorry, middle school electives.

384
00:20:33,260 --> 00:20:35,320
We know the students in middle school, that's one of the areas.

385
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:42,260
right? What is do I have more opportunities if I leave to go to another school or if I as well as then in kindergarten, right?

386
00:20:42,380 --> 00:20:47,860
Those are our two big polls middle school. We were sort of constantly looking at this and obviously teachers need to be endorsed.

387
00:20:48,100 --> 00:20:55,800
They need to have an endorsement and be experienced in these areas. That is the list of that's, you know, we're always looking to expand that through different areas.

388
00:20:55,980 --> 00:21:05,300
So that's hard. That's a really nice variety of highly qualified teachers with endorsements of the eighth and ninth graders will get to choose for next year.

389
00:21:05,300 --> 00:21:12,260
And so you'll see some that are added from 3D printing and design to marine biology,

390
00:21:12,460 --> 00:21:14,920
oceanography, and engineering STEM.

391
00:21:15,340 --> 00:21:16,760
We're seeing more with the map and science.

392
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,800
We see the students that are having that interest trying to provide those opportunities.

393
00:21:20,260 --> 00:21:24,040
We mentioned this a little bit last time to history through film, drawing athletic skills

394
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:24,900
very popular.

395
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:30,120
And then with some of that expansion, we'll be able to expand that facts, exploration

396
00:21:30,120 --> 00:21:32,980
with foods, nutrition, anyway, it's hard.

397
00:21:32,980 --> 00:21:34,900
I'm trying to do a variety.

398
00:21:35,140 --> 00:21:37,280
What would be about AP courses?

399
00:21:38,260 --> 00:21:40,500
I said, oh, you're going to have to talk to the administration.

400
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:46,860
But I know that my daughter has said that there's a couple options

401
00:21:46,860 --> 00:21:47,600
in whatever way.

402
00:21:47,900 --> 00:21:49,200
Can you tell me if I need to?

403
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:49,820
Yeah, no.

404
00:21:50,120 --> 00:21:51,360
Good question.

405
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,440
In ninth grade, I don't know.

406
00:21:53,540 --> 00:21:53,680
I don't know.

407
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:53,780
I don't know.

408
00:21:53,780 --> 00:21:53,800
I don't know.

409
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:53,980
I don't know.

410
00:21:53,980 --> 00:21:54,340
I don't know.

411
00:21:54,340 --> 00:21:54,460
I don't know.

412
00:21:54,460 --> 00:21:55,220
I don't know.

413
00:21:55,240 --> 00:22:03,320
I don't know.

414
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,240
where it really blows, opens up, yes.

415
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,840
So to make sure we had at least an offering of that

416
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,280
to get a start on it, we do AP human geography.

417
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,940
So for their geography class, they can choose AP

418
00:22:13,940 --> 00:22:15,280
or they can choose geography

419
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,220
or they can choose geography honors.

420
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,640
So we give three options there for it

421
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,140
to give them that taste of that college course as a ninth grader.

422
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,520
The other thing we have is the honors

423
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,520
and the advanced math being the full year ahead.

424
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,340
So one of the things we'll try to help support students with

425
00:22:31,340 --> 00:22:37,200
is you may be an outstanding great student and ninth grade you what you sign up for AP

426
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:42,640
human geography you're at least a year ahead in math or summer two years ahead in math

427
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:48,880
and then you want honors English and then there's the biology or earth systems kind of track

428
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:54,080
for science neither is considered honors or biology but they'll either consider that the

429
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:58,540
biology will force you to take higher level ones if you start there they'll put all of those

430
00:22:58,540 --> 00:23:02,900
on their schedule. That's for four or five of their blocks, right, because maths two of the eight,

431
00:23:03,120 --> 00:23:07,820
that then we're kind of like, this might be a little bit much for anybody. And so sometimes we're

432
00:23:07,820 --> 00:23:14,680
trying to pull kids back at that. It makes sense. My daughter is in all of those. Yes. Maggie

433
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,860
cried her way through an energy shoot. And sometimes we cannot talk to a student out of it. I mean,

434
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:24,540
that is their thing sometimes. So with the parent and the student. So it's one of the reasons why I don't

435
00:23:24,540 --> 00:23:28,020
I don't think it'd be very advantageous to look for any other AP one, and I can't

436
00:23:28,020 --> 00:23:31,960
know which one it is, is it the digital, there's an AP computer science.

437
00:23:32,100 --> 00:23:34,500
That's the computer science one, that's an environment of science one.

438
00:23:35,140 --> 00:23:35,260
Yeah.

439
00:23:35,620 --> 00:23:39,380
Which we're not even, that'd be another science, like, which we'd have our time in the numbers.

440
00:23:39,580 --> 00:23:43,120
But that's why we don't really need to do probably more, because we're already-

441
00:23:43,120 --> 00:23:44,040
Mostly because you can't.

442
00:23:44,620 --> 00:23:45,600
It's only ninth grade.

443
00:23:46,140 --> 00:23:49,660
You can't really do it in eight, so it's, yeah, so ninth grade, but again, you want students

444
00:23:49,660 --> 00:23:54,480
to still be a kid and enjoy the social aspect and stuff, and so at the beginning

445
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,240
of that ninth grade year, you're trying to talk them into that, or not talk them into

446
00:23:58,240 --> 00:23:58,340
that.

447
00:23:58,380 --> 00:24:01,700
You're trying to go, which, what is your career path, what do you really want to do?

448
00:24:01,980 --> 00:24:05,760
And that's part of what she does, she, many are a counselor in the PCC yards of eighth

449
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:06,060
grade.

450
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,640
There's, if you're not wanting to go into that industry, maybe that's not the one.

451
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:15,560
But if you really want to try this college course, which is what APU and geography is, maybe

452
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,060
don't do these others so much.

453
00:24:17,460 --> 00:24:18,140
But yeah.

454
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:19,460
Does that answer your question?

455
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,100
The teacher here does a really good job, I feel like, of giving them a taste of what

456
00:24:23,100 --> 00:24:28,900
it's like two. She doesn't come too much, but she does. Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. I think

457
00:24:28,900 --> 00:24:33,320
I think it's really it. It's just a lot of work, which is also good. A lot of

458
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:37,920
reading and that's like leather every night. I knew there was a reason there was only

459
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:43,540
a couple. I just didn't know that it was because of the night. Yeah. That's where

460
00:24:43,540 --> 00:24:47,040
the credits start, right? I mean, you've got seventh and eighth. You're still in that

461
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,720
middle school band credits for high school or ninth or 12. So that's where it

462
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:55,620
It becomes advantageous sometimes if you can handle it to take that a more advanced course

463
00:24:55,620 --> 00:24:55,780
route.

464
00:24:56,220 --> 00:25:04,960
I would end up causing a lot more parent involvement trying to help them, trying to help them.

465
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:10,060
Like I don't know, is that when you raise experience, like you have to get involved where maybe

466
00:25:10,060 --> 00:25:11,440
you wouldn't have to do that.

467
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:17,480
I mean, not from like an academic standpoint, I would say, but like a stress management.

468
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:18,040
Right.

469
00:25:18,220 --> 00:25:18,780
That's absolutely.

470
00:25:18,780 --> 00:25:22,760
What I do think it's good preparation, it's good to kind of, you know,

471
00:25:23,900 --> 00:25:28,320
We'll talk about the record. Yeah. I got plenty.

472
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:34,640
Thanks. Thank you. Yeah. No, it's good. Good questions there. All right.

473
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:39,640
So going into personnel, our special Ed Middle School teacher will be leaving us this year,

474
00:25:39,780 --> 00:25:42,640
as she's returning back to Florida. She was only going to be here the year.

475
00:25:42,820 --> 00:25:46,800
Well, the first time really initially to mentor, then came on to mentor for another year

476
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,000
and then came on the last two years actually as our

477
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,520
student teacher but she'll be leaving and so we actually have an in-house move that will be happening in that area

478
00:25:55,060 --> 00:26:03,000
and which opens up some SEM stuff so looking at some positions there tonight we'll be talking a little bit about possibly a new staff member based on

479
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:08,060
another couple of house bill and some other stuff but we'll talk about that when we get to a little bit later.

480
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:16,460
As far as our enrollment right now we're at capacity and plus one because of when you draw that last one

481
00:26:16,460 --> 00:26:25,000
you're just not going to do that so we have convenient for them. It's hard enough on families,

482
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:30,800
twins on my own. We can't do that. So we have, we had, I probably, I can switch over to

483
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:35,840
chat, but we're 531 registered for next year. In those classes, we have six that have accepted

484
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:41,300
that just needed to finish the office paperwork for you by birth certificate, but not. So that's

485
00:26:41,300 --> 00:26:43,420
including kinders. Sorry. What school did they

486
00:26:45,820 --> 00:26:47,820
have the students that are twins? They're just

487
00:26:47,820 --> 00:26:52,560
gathered. Oh, I don't know. Sorry. I couldn't. I know. It's been a while because we've been

488
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:58,100
full for a while. Yeah, it's going to say it's. I don't remember. I think it actually was kindergarten,

489
00:26:58,100 --> 00:27:01,820
though. That I'm saying that. I'm thinking that it was actually kindergarten. So yeah, so it wouldn't

490
00:27:01,820 --> 00:27:07,640
be coming from if it would be a preschool. Yeah. So again, of those six that have accepted and not

491
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,820
completed register registration, only two are kindergartners because we just see kindergarten

492
00:27:11,820 --> 00:27:13,640
in sighting day, so the majority to care that.

493
00:27:14,180 --> 00:27:15,560
We have a ninth grader and eighth grader

494
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,360
and a fourth grader that are, that fourth grader's a sibling.

495
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:19,600
It's more waiting to get in,

496
00:27:19,980 --> 00:27:22,720
and they just needed to bring by a form.

497
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,300
So yeah, so we're really, we're doing,

498
00:27:25,660 --> 00:27:26,640
where we need to be.

499
00:27:27,260 --> 00:27:30,360
Middle school, SM, so our school wide and rich model,

500
00:27:30,540 --> 00:27:32,240
what does the compacting and some things look like?

501
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:33,660
A lot of to just share a little bit

502
00:27:33,660 --> 00:27:36,160
of those other developments and who's choosing to compact.

503
00:27:36,540 --> 00:27:38,180
Sometimes students say, no, I don't really want to,

504
00:27:38,180 --> 00:27:39,280
I want to stay in there, I like this,

505
00:27:39,460 --> 00:27:41,220
I do know the material, but I want to stay in here.

506
00:27:41,220 --> 00:27:45,280
students have that opportunity as well. So you see the middle school compacting

507
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:51,000
opportunities there from a variety of different things, from career exploration,

508
00:27:51,300 --> 00:27:59,160
music theory to ecosystems, and then also into talent development. So then

509
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:03,460
continuing on that elementary term three, you see a good little variety, fifth,

510
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,600
sixth, a lot of kindergartners compacted out this time, which is exciting.

511
00:28:06,740 --> 00:28:09,700
They were writing a script and working on a little puppet show as kindergartners.

512
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:15,620
Yeah, and then some art and math making a board game in their third grade advanced math students

513
00:28:15,620 --> 00:28:20,620
So those students are already a full year ahead in math, but also we're really doing in this particular unit

514
00:28:20,620 --> 00:28:30,820
But maybe not so much the entire book and course to go to the next grade level, but that unit they really knew and so they've been making a board game

515
00:28:30,820 --> 00:28:40,880
Oh, and a machine. That's fun. Anyway, next one. I think as you scroll down, field trips type

516
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:46,020
one opportunities, right, or a big part of SCM, they do cost. We do invest there, want to make sure

517
00:28:46,020 --> 00:28:51,080
students have an opportunity to learn and have fun learning and understand that it can be engaging.

518
00:28:51,780 --> 00:28:56,560
And so you can see a wide variety. This is just type one field trips to give you an idea of this

519
00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:00,580
year, what some of the different things that students have been doing. Some of those are grade level ones,

520
00:29:00,580 --> 00:29:03,940
where the entire kindergarten class went to Oklahoma Zoo and then you'll see

521
00:29:03,940 --> 00:29:08,000
others where the cluster filled trips. I probably if I went back one more month

522
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:12,460
into November, for example, we went there was the broadcasting group went to

523
00:29:12,460 --> 00:29:16,900
one of the news channels and watched them actually put on the new segment segment

524
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:21,440
and so anyway some great opportunities there and a good variety. I think there's

525
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:28,360
also going to this is the place. The 29th yes that is the right. Yes thank you

526
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:33,480
Yes, we just we just corrected that in the office yesterday, but I didn't it's already been submitted

527
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,520
As the third grade teacher went, hey, that's actually us and so

528
00:29:38,140 --> 00:29:41,600
Office managed yes, we got it. Thanks. Thank you. Thank you guys

529
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:48,680
All right, continuing on so another neat opportunity are we are middle school teachers embraced

530
00:29:49,260 --> 00:29:53,820
Some there was there's an opportunity that came out from the state where you could work as a

531
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:56,200
collaborative effort

532
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,960
through integrating your language arts, your language arts.

533
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:29,980
February media standards and your art. And they asked us, are any secondary programs and schools that would be interested in this? And they sent it out to ours. And our library, librarian, our art, middle school art teacher. And two of the language arts teachers are like, yeah, we'd love to do that. Like let's go sit this about. So when they got there, they also found out they were each then given $1,000 to spend on their projects. So they got $4,000, which we always love that, right? And what they needed to do is come up with a call.

534
00:30:29,980 --> 00:30:34,480
collaborative, and you want to worry about coding this one?

535
00:30:36,540 --> 00:30:38,520
Because you buy it straight through USB.

536
00:30:39,060 --> 00:30:40,360
Rarely do we get to do that, but anyway.

537
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,500
So they wanted to, they had to come up with a collaborative

538
00:30:44,500 --> 00:30:47,880
effort, and they could spend this $1,000, so seventh grade

539
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,360
language arts teachers said, hey, I think it would be cool to do

540
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,660
watershed down. Pictures are really, are interesting that we

541
00:30:53,660 --> 00:30:55,700
may have some interest for students.

542
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,940
Bring that graphic novel into seventh grade, and then

543
00:30:58,940 --> 00:31:00,700
and the seventh grade art foundations teacher

544
00:31:00,700 --> 00:31:02,980
and the librarian would be working on their own issues

545
00:31:02,980 --> 00:31:04,980
as well with a similar theme.

546
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,840
And then they already read Romeo and Juliet

547
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,980
in eighth grade as a play, obviously Shakespeare's hard.

548
00:31:11,260 --> 00:31:13,920
And so she, the language arts teacher said,

549
00:31:13,980 --> 00:31:16,580
you know, a graphic novel with Romeo and Juliet

550
00:31:16,580 --> 00:31:18,820
might be a really strong scaffold

551
00:31:19,220 --> 00:31:21,940
that would interest people not excited about reading that.

552
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,840
So if I had a graphic novel that I could do,

553
00:31:25,220 --> 00:31:26,560
obviously you have to have visual literacy

554
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:33,620
the art piece, right? But that's side-by-side. So she came up with one that, as well as a book

555
00:31:33,620 --> 00:31:37,820
that's completely wordless, and I actually meant to bring these examples, because this one's

556
00:31:37,820 --> 00:31:42,700
the picture I'd never read this book. It's called The Arrival. Oh, I shouldn't say red. It's all

557
00:31:42,700 --> 00:31:49,900
it's wordless, but I never visually looked at this book. But the pictures are amazing. And it's all

558
00:31:49,900 --> 00:31:56,540
about, it would go with the Frederick Douglass poem that they read, with history, and people

559
00:31:56,540 --> 00:32:00,740
people coming over to Ellis Island and coming over to the nation, so they, so we quickly

560
00:32:00,740 --> 00:32:05,340
put together curriculum committees to read these over-spring break, wonderful parent staff.

561
00:32:05,340 --> 00:32:07,980
We had great number of people that reached out to us, it's hard, we'd do it.

562
00:32:08,500 --> 00:32:10,220
And definitely wanted to.

563
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:14,560
So supplementing curriculum, and then, and in getting that done, that happened on Monday.

564
00:32:15,220 --> 00:32:20,060
And here's the reasons why I were excited to add those as options to supplement the curriculum

565
00:32:20,060 --> 00:32:20,840
that's in those grades.

566
00:32:22,540 --> 00:32:28,120
Alright, the next one goes to Comfortute and just kind of walks through what the expenses

567
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:33,920
would look like this year as we go take staff out there and obviously, we're watching

568
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:38,920
gas prices and airlines and whatnot, so I want to get a number tonight to prove for that

569
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:45,280
so we can book those, I don't foresee them going down in the future, so filling that,

570
00:32:45,460 --> 00:32:45,640
all right?

571
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,840
The only thing that I did, I proved over, because it wasn't necessarily a celebration.

572
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,600
I mean, I guess it could be, but it's our APR determination letter.

573
00:32:52,860 --> 00:32:57,220
It's a completely different attachment in the board documentation, but this is the kind

574
00:32:57,220 --> 00:33:02,500
of evaluation the state does on your program improvement plan regarding special education

575
00:33:02,500 --> 00:33:03,080
students.

576
00:33:03,340 --> 00:33:10,320
There's very specific things they look for, participation rates in opt-outs, where they're

577
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:14,240
trying to make sure you're not encouraging students with disabilities opt-out, for example,

578
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:14,640
of tests.

579
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:16,220
What's the percentage?

580
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:17,120
What are you increasing?

581
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:22,000
anything. Anyway, we did really well on those. Um, again, some of them are not applicable.

582
00:33:22,340 --> 00:33:27,620
I don't see. I looked through that and I thought, I don't, where's the, like, I didn't know where the result was.

583
00:33:27,740 --> 00:33:35,340
Like, okay, I don't know. I don't get it. It's very standard. Whether you're a K three school or you're a secondary school, right?

584
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:43,080
That's why. And I don't, and why do they pick certain numbers? I, I, and it changed the format again this year. So as far as what do we see?

585
00:33:43,700 --> 00:33:50,780
Yeah, I need you to tell me where the answer is. Students often with students with special needs learning disabilities

586
00:33:52,380 --> 00:34:00,140
Sometimes don't pass the state test sure which if they were it might be a little bit harder to pass the state test

587
00:34:00,140 --> 00:34:04,480
If they didn't have the lift they have a learning disability, so but they want to make sure that you're not just saying well

588
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:10,000
He or she has an ip so they're never going to pass it don't put the effort in so they still want to see the growth

589
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:14,340
That's really what this is looking at, both metrics, but passing that

590
00:34:14,340 --> 00:34:18,800
proficiency, not always. And as Bob started said, you know, sometimes for

591
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:23,200
different reasons, they might opt out. And if they opt out, those opt-outs, as

592
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:28,420
you'll see, they want that to, we were at 3.3%, which is incredible, you know, and

593
00:34:28,420 --> 00:34:34,640
then 0%, but the goal is 11. If we were at 13%, we would have a finding kind of a

594
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:38,900
thing on that to need them, which is very interesting because in this state, you

595
00:34:38,900 --> 00:34:44,240
can tell me I need to improve it, but I support parents'

596
00:34:44,500 --> 00:34:47,680
choice. We need to support that. So how would I? How would you do that?

597
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,700
And ethically, right? So it's an interesting one. There's, but the

598
00:34:50,700 --> 00:34:54,520
rest of the metrics, I would say more, I shouldn't say that. I guess

599
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:59,200
they're all valid. But it feels like they're doing some tests to

600
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:03,000
make sure that you're not just putting people in IEPs to avoid tests

601
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:07,600
like state. Yes, or right. And also so we're not saying,

602
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:15,560
And hey, we want our scores to look good so that would be an ethical practice, or discriminating.

603
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:17,740
Yes, exactly.

604
00:35:18,540 --> 00:35:19,540
Right, thank you.

605
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,300
I think we hit each of them.

606
00:35:22,340 --> 00:35:25,260
We're going to go to the fund financial review, Ms. Capping.

607
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,920
I don't know if I can be nearly as fast as the tunnel is.

608
00:35:31,100 --> 00:35:42,520
Did everybody, but again, stuck the financial review in there, so you could read it, and amazingly, it didn't change very much from last time.

609
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:50,960
As you can tell, it's like things that were about at the beginning of the year that are still more expensive.

610
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:55,920
I mean, it's like they're only one-time purchases, and so then they'll just be there until...

611
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,260
Budget will catch up with the leader here.

612
00:35:58,380 --> 00:36:00,340
Yeah, yeah, budget will be there at the end.

613
00:36:00,580 --> 00:36:05,080
And then, that's my financial statements.

614
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,000
But overall, everything is really good.

615
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:13,260
And we've tried to just keep as much in the PTAF as possible.

616
00:36:15,220 --> 00:36:18,500
And there's no other hidden surprises.

617
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,240
The biggest problem is, okay, the biggest joy is

618
00:36:22,240 --> 00:36:23,520
we get to start budgeting soon.

619
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:34,500
Oh, you budget come on, can't you budget like this year just started and we're doing budgets, but I know it's gone by fast

620
00:36:34,500 --> 00:36:41,300
Well, there is a federal grant for this year that just became available for us to even get that we would for all year, right?

621
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,220
I mean, it is interesting when everyone's a little behind.

622
00:36:44,220 --> 00:36:51,060
You guys don't have because you're so amazing for the CSI stuff, that one just dropped for this year.

623
00:36:51,060 --> 00:36:54,140
and I'm like, we're trying the foundations in right now.

624
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:55,720
And I do.

625
00:36:55,780 --> 00:36:57,880
But you hate to be able to, let's be able to,

626
00:36:57,920 --> 00:36:59,480
Ironic care when it's a school,

627
00:36:59,580 --> 00:37:00,760
if a school's in turn around,

628
00:37:00,860 --> 00:37:02,900
I'm pretty sure they could really use that funding

629
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:04,760
before the last quarter.

630
00:37:05,020 --> 00:37:06,140
I actually know how much it is.

631
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,680
And to be able to have a step by the time it expires.

632
00:37:10,900 --> 00:37:12,680
So it is kind of a solution.

633
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:13,240
I'm with you.

634
00:37:13,660 --> 00:37:14,140
I agree.

635
00:37:14,420 --> 00:37:15,040
You have to be placed.

636
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,260
I think I don't know them, luckily.

637
00:37:17,260 --> 00:37:24,260
but we, you've done a really good job. I think in the finance meeting we've just tried

638
00:37:24,260 --> 00:37:27,160
to cover everything and make sure we know where we stand and we'll start budgeting

639
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:36,620
soon since you guys have your board meeting in early this year. So budgets have to be

640
00:37:36,620 --> 00:37:46,140
noticed two weeks before the board meeting, but no later than May 31st. And so we will,

641
00:37:46,140 --> 00:37:53,100
And that's just noticing to the board what potential budget will be and it isn't even the final we can change the budget up until it's approved until it is approved

642
00:37:53,100 --> 00:37:55,120
You can change any numbers in there. So

643
00:37:56,500 --> 00:38:00,360
We will we will be working on that in your future and

644
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:10,740
I don't know did you guys have any any questions the only thing I don't like about the financial review like just the summary is I don't get to ask

645
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,280
questions are saying, hey, who knows?

646
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,960
We'll have Bob ask a question or answer it.

647
00:38:17,980 --> 00:38:19,140
I have a quick question.

648
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:20,660
See, there you go.

649
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,080
So there's a number of costs, particularly I'm looking at the

650
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:27,680
school expansion costs which we're going to need to document later in

651
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:28,100
the agenda.

652
00:38:31,060 --> 00:38:38,740
Our budget right now doesn't include that, but some of that

653
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:50,380
We were actually talking about that in our finance meeting and not only were we talking

654
00:38:50,380 --> 00:38:54,460
about when the costs were going to be covered, we were talking about our bond covenants

655
00:38:54,460 --> 00:38:55,200
going to still be met.

656
00:38:55,480 --> 00:39:01,480
What will our days cash on hand look like if we spend that, what will we have any issues.

657
00:39:02,100 --> 00:39:06,940
And so one of the problems, one of the things I appreciate you bringing that up because one

658
00:39:06,940 --> 00:39:11,480
One of the things we were talking about that I was asking would it be a possibility is

659
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:17,220
a quick electronic meeting near the end of June to just to approve the budgets or

660
00:39:17,220 --> 00:39:20,360
re-approving as we already have because we won't know how many costs.

661
00:39:20,580 --> 00:39:23,940
We won't know when the contracts can start and how much work because we would really like

662
00:39:23,940 --> 00:39:30,520
to as much as possible do as much expense in this year so that we can kind of have it divided

663
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:31,240
between years.

664
00:39:31,980 --> 00:39:36,800
Some expense this year and then if it started in June anything before June 30 gets to come

665
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:42,060
in this year, anything after that in July has to go in the next budget and it's so nice

666
00:39:42,060 --> 00:39:46,620
to be able to offset both years with some of the expense. But we won't know that until

667
00:39:46,620 --> 00:39:51,280
we get really close to the end of June. So, within a really early board meeting and with

668
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:56,160
possible construction and not knowing how much will fall into the budget, then we might

669
00:39:56,160 --> 00:40:01,020
need an additional five minute. Here's the new budget and we approve it.

670
00:40:01,500 --> 00:40:05,700
Yeah. And I think we might need other ones as well. I think, you know, construction doesn't

671
00:40:05,700 --> 00:40:10,380
always follow our timeline. So I think you might need to be prepared for a couple random

672
00:40:10,380 --> 00:40:16,160
five-minute electronic meetings just to when things come up just to be prepared emotionally

673
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:21,720
for that. But you know, it shouldn't take a long time, right? It should just be quick stuff that

674
00:40:21,720 --> 00:40:27,140
falls between our board meetings. So I think it really depends on the permits. When the permits

675
00:40:27,140 --> 00:40:32,040
get approved, that's what's going to be indicated. Like we're one who will start as soon as school gets

676
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:35,460
out, but if the permits not approved to late, that's why we can't win.

677
00:40:35,580 --> 00:40:37,920
It has to made how much of this will go into this year.

678
00:40:38,240 --> 00:40:39,960
Hopefully as much as possible.

679
00:40:40,260 --> 00:40:41,760
Like we want as much as we can.

680
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:45,260
Oh, it's cross something.

681
00:40:45,860 --> 00:40:46,340
Yeah.

682
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:53,340
If we end up proceeding with an expansion, that we would need to amend a budget before the

683
00:40:53,340 --> 00:40:58,240
fiscal year ends in order to cover and cost up at the curve.

684
00:40:58,840 --> 00:40:59,320
Yeah.

685
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:05,260
Well, and I think yeah, absolutely I think that's good to set up and I think you know, just being prepared for the things

686
00:41:05,260 --> 00:41:06,880
We can't control in the meantime

687
00:41:10,100 --> 00:41:16,260
All right, yes, I mean you just never know it's gonna be fun to see how how things fall out

688
00:41:19,380 --> 00:41:21,160
All right, any other

689
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:22,480
Questions

690
00:41:23,500 --> 00:41:26,860
Oh come on Kathy needs one more over there ladies

691
00:41:30,180 --> 00:41:35,780
There will be more there will be more financial discussion coming up because it's just kind of what it's all about today, so

692
00:41:37,580 --> 00:41:40,560
Okay, no other financial review questions

693
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:47,360
Okay, let's move on to our consent. Oh, I can't read this hold on. Let's move on to our consent items

694
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,280
Would someone like to make a motion?

695
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:50,960
I move to approve the March

696
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:53,080
2026

697
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:54,520
Jordan meeting minutes.

698
00:41:54,540 --> 00:41:55,780
Oh, Jordan was fastest.

699
00:41:56,820 --> 00:41:57,920
Oh, and Kami.

700
00:41:58,080 --> 00:41:58,420
Okay.

701
00:41:58,800 --> 00:41:59,520
It's sturdy.

702
00:42:00,260 --> 00:42:00,540
Okay.

703
00:42:02,240 --> 00:42:08,760
Jordan moved and Kami seconded to approve the March 5th, 2026 Board Meeting.

704
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:10,140
Board meeting minutes.

705
00:42:10,380 --> 00:42:11,020
All in favor?

706
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:12,440
Aye.

707
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:13,640
Any opposed?

708
00:42:14,900 --> 00:42:15,140
Okay.

709
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:16,360
Voting was unanimous.

710
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,560
Let's move on to our business and discussion items.

711
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:23,660
Okay, Carnegie, math curriculum invoice.

712
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:25,720
That's pretty straightforward.

713
00:42:26,700 --> 00:42:28,340
Now, this is the one-way approval.

714
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,720
A year ago we're adding from 7th grade now in that 8th grade.

715
00:42:31,720 --> 00:42:34,520
We want to make sure we can get the supplies here in time.

716
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,400
And since we go through that mountain stakes depository,

717
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,040
it might be nice to order this now as opposed to waiting to the July 1.

718
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:41,460
So, fair enough.

719
00:42:41,700 --> 00:42:42,940
Okay. That's in there early.

720
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:43,500
Okay.

721
00:42:46,180 --> 00:42:49,870
Are you worried for this year?

722
00:42:50,950 --> 00:42:53,470
This one would be as far as coding, good question.

723
00:42:54,650 --> 00:42:57,610
Price will be the same whether it comes out of this year's budget or next year's budget.

724
00:42:57,750 --> 00:43:01,550
Once we get this, we can process the PO and then we'll see what mountain stakes, how long it's going to take.

725
00:43:01,730 --> 00:43:05,290
If we need to place this now, so it's here in time, we'll just go to that order.

726
00:43:05,870 --> 00:43:06,790
It'll hit this year.

727
00:43:07,290 --> 00:43:10,810
Depending on when we get it and when it arrives here.

728
00:43:11,490 --> 00:43:18,130
If we order now and it arrives, that means it'll come in July, then we'll go ahead and place it now but it'll hit next year and we'll watch that.

729
00:43:21,710 --> 00:43:25,870
I don't know how many schools are adding Carnegie if that makes sense, I don't know.

730
00:43:26,290 --> 00:43:28,690
Do we need to go above that amount?

731
00:43:28,870 --> 00:43:29,090
Do I?

732
00:43:29,350 --> 00:43:29,830
Approval-wise?

733
00:43:30,010 --> 00:43:32,750
I would do 20,000.

734
00:43:32,890 --> 00:43:34,890
How much can I often help and there's an issue?

735
00:43:35,410 --> 00:43:35,530
Yeah.

736
00:43:35,890 --> 00:43:35,990
Okay.

737
00:43:36,330 --> 00:43:40,270
For the most part, though, with them, if our numbers change, we just switch it from a this

738
00:43:40,270 --> 00:43:43,750
grade to this grade kind of a book because we're already full and our numbers stay consistent,

739
00:43:43,770 --> 00:43:46,750
but I would recommend at least doing 20,000.

740
00:43:46,750 --> 00:43:51,650
Okay. So, anyone have any questions? Comments? Concerns.

741
00:43:51,690 --> 00:43:54,490
Sorry, you might be how that's working. I know what you're talking about.

742
00:43:54,650 --> 00:43:58,230
You're leveling them in a little at a time, right? And so, that's why there's another invoice.

743
00:43:59,950 --> 00:44:01,150
Sorry. Right? Yes.

744
00:44:01,530 --> 00:44:04,170
So, more groups are... Adding eighth grade next year.

745
00:44:04,690 --> 00:44:08,890
Seventh grade current, we have Carnegie. Next year, we have eighth grade, on grade level, eighth graded fans.

746
00:44:09,370 --> 00:44:12,270
Okay. There is a little bit of talk. Should we just go ahead and do next grade then?

747
00:44:12,390 --> 00:44:15,650
But, it would be another teacher that would be learning two grades at the same time.

748
00:44:15,650 --> 00:44:20,490
So we're the plan though is the rollout. So this is for 7th and 8th to have it next year, okay?

749
00:44:21,450 --> 00:44:24,790
Did I don't remember does Carnegie have any like consumables?

750
00:44:25,910 --> 00:44:28,870
Well, there's so there's an invoice every year no matter why

751
00:44:29,770 --> 00:44:34,510
I can remember they don't not doing just tech. Yeah, okay gotcha

752
00:44:35,510 --> 00:44:37,350
Okay, would someone like to make a motion?

753
00:44:43,770 --> 00:44:46,930
Okay, I'm just going to keep score really quick.

754
00:44:47,490 --> 00:44:53,990
Okay, moved by Bob and seconded by Bart to approve the Carnegie Math Curriculum invoice,

755
00:44:54,470 --> 00:44:55,950
not to exceed $20,000.

756
00:44:56,410 --> 00:44:57,010
All in favor.

757
00:44:57,430 --> 00:44:57,810
Hi.

758
00:44:58,150 --> 00:44:58,530
Any opposed?

759
00:44:59,030 --> 00:44:59,970
Okay, voting with...

760
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:06,520
unanimous. I'm just marking down on two. Okay. Okay, the I'd Bailey statement of work, which

761
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:13,640
used to be called something else. What do you know? Okay, that was on the tip of my tongue.

762
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:18,780
So, we called the engagement letter. This is the very first year. In fact, this is for the

763
00:45:18,780 --> 00:45:25,120
last 30 years that I've been working in the CPA. It's always been the engagement letter when

764
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:29,820
I was in school it was. It's the statement of work and there's actually two different forms

765
00:45:29,820 --> 00:45:33,940
Because one of them is the master agreement, which is only signed once, period.

766
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:38,240
And I think you may be signed at the end of last year, if not, you will be signed in

767
00:45:38,240 --> 00:45:38,960
the beginning of this year.

768
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:39,300
Great.

769
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:43,500
But then the statement of work is basically the engagement letter.

770
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:46,420
It looks like it did before.

771
00:45:47,540 --> 00:45:52,620
And so I was kind of comparing the prices as we saw it to last year's.

772
00:45:52,780 --> 00:45:56,880
It looks like the price went up about $650 for the audit.

773
00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:01,360
And by the way, your 990s are just barely getting done.

774
00:46:01,940 --> 00:46:04,400
Thank you, Sid, for signing the eFile form.

775
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:08,980
And I will be sending that out to the board soon.

776
00:46:09,460 --> 00:46:10,920
Just for review, it doesn't matter.

777
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:12,000
It comes right off the audit.

778
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,560
So it's not questionable or voted on.

779
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:16,240
It's just here for your purposes.

780
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:24,340
And so, anyway, if you can approve this so that they will be able

781
00:46:24,340 --> 00:46:31,360
to do your audit again this year, and then we engage them to do the 990. Last year

782
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:37,460
this had the 990 wearing in it, this year they have to send a separate SW for the 990.

783
00:46:39,700 --> 00:46:44,700
And single audit is listed in here again. You guys will not need a single audit because

784
00:46:44,700 --> 00:46:50,700
they actually bumped that threshold of you don't need one unless you spent over a million

785
00:46:50,700 --> 00:46:56,000
$1 million, and it's spent to not receive, but it's spent $1 million in federal expenses.

786
00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:04,320
And so, say something, you know, that's because it was last year and so that this probably

787
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:04,960
didn't get updated.

788
00:47:05,300 --> 00:47:09,700
So the summary needs to say $1 million because it's now $1 million, not $7.50.

789
00:47:13,550 --> 00:47:19,290
Anyway, you guys never even made $750, even with COVID funds, and so you will not need a single

790
00:47:22,430 --> 00:47:26,790
So how would we, how would you like us to approve this?

791
00:47:27,570 --> 00:47:27,690
I would.

792
00:47:27,970 --> 00:47:28,790
No, I know.

793
00:47:28,910 --> 00:47:32,570
But like within a mound or as listed as.

794
00:47:32,850 --> 00:47:35,890
I would just say as presented because it's we've got this in the document.

795
00:47:36,070 --> 00:47:37,170
And this is just a summary.

796
00:47:37,290 --> 00:47:38,110
This isn't an individual.

797
00:47:39,050 --> 00:47:46,070
Um, just that you would, you would prove to engage I'd Bailey with the, what's it called?

798
00:47:50,790 --> 00:47:53,030
I'll give it a shot and you're ready.

799
00:47:55,450 --> 00:47:56,010
Okay.

800
00:47:56,470 --> 00:47:56,950
All right.

801
00:47:58,350 --> 00:47:59,150
Go ahead.

802
00:47:59,610 --> 00:48:03,790
I move to approve the I Bailey Statement of Work as presented in the left hand.

803
00:48:04,030 --> 00:48:07,610
Authorize Tana to execute it on behalf of the school.

804
00:48:08,810 --> 00:48:09,370
Okay.

805
00:48:09,370 --> 00:48:17,850
Okay, moved by Bob and seconded by Kami to approve the I'd Bailey Statement of Work as

806
00:48:17,850 --> 00:48:25,390
presented and to authorize Tana to sign for the school. All in favor. Hi. Any opposed?

807
00:48:26,890 --> 00:48:33,290
Okay, voting was unanimous. Is what did we miss something? Oh, okay, got it.

808
00:48:33,290 --> 00:48:33,710
You did awesome.

809
00:48:33,950 --> 00:48:34,550
You did a great job.

810
00:48:35,250 --> 00:48:35,730
Yep.

811
00:48:35,970 --> 00:48:36,770
That was excellent.

812
00:48:37,290 --> 00:48:37,490
Okay.

813
00:48:37,730 --> 00:48:39,290
Work expansion costs.

814
00:48:42,010 --> 00:48:43,130
You worked really well.

815
00:48:44,530 --> 00:48:44,850
Okay.

816
00:48:44,930 --> 00:48:45,370
That's a good name.

817
00:48:45,650 --> 00:48:46,410
That's a good name.

818
00:48:48,390 --> 00:48:49,070
You're out.

819
00:48:50,790 --> 00:48:51,110
Okay.

820
00:48:52,310 --> 00:48:53,050
All right.

821
00:48:53,250 --> 00:48:58,090
So, has anyone had a chance to look at the statement, the estimate that we have going on

822
00:48:58,090 --> 00:48:58,630
right now?

823
00:48:59,290 --> 00:49:00,430
Are we cool with that?

824
00:49:00,510 --> 00:49:01,370
Any questions on that?

825
00:49:01,370 --> 00:49:06,310
It's a little higher than we initially looked at in January,

826
00:49:06,310 --> 00:49:08,930
but that's because we've made some changes and adjusted things.

827
00:49:10,050 --> 00:49:12,550
Does it give you everything that you want and need?

828
00:49:19,260 --> 00:49:19,880
A lot of questions.

829
00:49:20,620 --> 00:49:23,960
Well, so I think we'll answer to your question is yes.

830
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:27,320
Everything that we ask for, this is including, this is that.

831
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:30,280
Yes. One of the things we have a little bit of issue with,

832
00:49:30,660 --> 00:49:32,420
that may cost, that would change these costs,

833
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:35,000
or we have to reduce these costs, it doesn't include,

834
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:38,700
like we've got to have a spot for these for two classes to start the year depending on

835
00:49:38,700 --> 00:49:42,580
when this building is finished. That's actually not built in. The other one that it wasn't

836
00:49:42,580 --> 00:49:48,700
quite sure and I forgot for us to follow up on that one was the is this the construction

837
00:49:48,700 --> 00:49:53,400
the moving of the playground. Do you see that one on that? I don't know what any of the things

838
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:58,840
mean to them. So that's what the problem is, right? So that's why when you ask the questions like

839
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:02,920
is that all encompassing though we just got this back from them but they'd be in this week

840
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:06,340
and those are the questions. We did have to get another bid on if we were to do

841
00:50:06,340 --> 00:50:10,680
some about rooms. We really don't want to spend portable. You're looking at

842
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:17,860
$100,000. Even if we don't have it for more than a few months, it's like a

843
00:50:17,860 --> 00:50:22,400
yearly contract. And it's getting it here and it's setting it up. That's what

844
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:30,440
so the bid that we got is $80,000. We're not increasing enrollment and we have

845
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:36,200
that many students here today. Why would we do anything different during

846
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:42,420
construction? Then we are doing like we've made it work for how many years?

847
00:50:44,700 --> 00:50:48,180
Well that's a good point but some of them but there's an interior remodel.

848
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:53,640
My point is occupancy isn't going to change. We may be able to set up like

849
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:57,880
something on the stage. We're brainstorming. That's why that was my

850
00:50:57,880 --> 00:50:59,620
Your question on that one is like, is everything we want?

851
00:51:00,060 --> 00:51:07,720
Right now, we may have, for example, the two rooms that would be converted to the family

852
00:51:07,720 --> 00:51:12,320
consumer science and the art, those two are housing 50 students.

853
00:51:12,660 --> 00:51:16,600
Where do those 50 kids go during the construction?

854
00:51:17,420 --> 00:51:21,920
And so we began brainstorming as we looked at that bill and went, oh, I don't want to waste

855
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:22,100
that.

856
00:51:22,180 --> 00:51:23,340
I just felt like it was that wasteful.

857
00:51:23,340 --> 00:51:30,340
That's that's that's a lot of money to bring in a room to put these two classes in, but so what could we do?

858
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:37,280
Could we and again, we're not in a final session. So we take everything out of this room, and this becomes a classroom

859
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:41,740
depending on this timeline and we move this

860
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:48,560
Room 102 that room that houses very small groups the small groups go into different spots

861
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:52,740
So the class goes into that room and this room. So when you said does it include everything

862
00:51:52,740 --> 00:51:55,620
I want I'm like I'm having a hard time spending that but I was

863
00:51:56,120 --> 00:52:01,620
That's why there's no expectation that it's going to go like smooth as glass

864
00:52:01,620 --> 00:52:04,260
No, I never do, right? Yeah, but no

865
00:52:04,660 --> 00:52:09,620
But at the same time if that timeline's all year. Let's say that let's say that construction goes till January

866
00:52:09,620 --> 00:52:16,420
That would be a long time to be in a temporary right. Yeah, or if someone's like if something but if it was like a week

867
00:52:17,580 --> 00:52:20,300
Tom, drop the curtain and I'll have it in the half of the gym.

868
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:21,880
That's a big difference on the timeline.

869
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:25,680
So that's the one expense you're not seeing on this one, but you do see the other attachment.

870
00:52:30,580 --> 00:52:31,300
That's the thought.

871
00:52:31,460 --> 00:52:37,120
But we're still problem solving, we want to come up with a different solution, but I don't

872
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:40,960
want to get students to have half a year with less than adequate.

873
00:52:42,460 --> 00:52:43,560
And I think the environment.

874
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:44,340
Yeah.

875
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:45,020
So I think.

876
00:52:45,420 --> 00:52:46,300
And the playground I saw.

877
00:52:46,300 --> 00:52:46,660
Oh, yes.

878
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:59,920
Yeah, I don't know what all falls under those different heading so you know, that's where I'm at but I think for me

879
00:52:59,920 --> 00:53:05,480
I think we're spending this much money. I think doing portables if we need to do I think we can do it

880
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:11,040
But what I rather put the money somewhere more fun. Yes, I think we can do that. I think I'd rather do that

881
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,620
So we're figuring it out. Yeah

882
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:17,500
So that amount's not on that one or so.

883
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:19,200
You also have to put the poor one on the black top.

884
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:22,300
So I think that is a recess issue as well.

885
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:25,240
And I think that takes away a lot of where the kids are

886
00:53:25,240 --> 00:53:25,780
hanging out during the day.

887
00:53:25,780 --> 00:53:28,480
Plus it's like it's not accounting for age back.

888
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:29,960
It's not accounting for like just three years.

889
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:32,900
No, it would be inconvenient for sure.

890
00:53:33,300 --> 00:53:36,660
But you know, you can solve some of that by being like,

891
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:39,220
okay, we're going to just really have a crossing guard

892
00:53:39,220 --> 00:53:42,280
cross us across the street to the park or whatever, right?

893
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:48,420
like for recess. Anyway, we can figure some stuff out. We have a lot of options. We're

894
00:53:48,420 --> 00:53:51,560
all brave. We're still afraid of storing that. That's the one that I'm like, I wish I had.

895
00:53:52,180 --> 00:54:00,540
So are they making a commitment to work by a certain day like it or the contracts being

896
00:54:00,540 --> 00:54:08,040
written in such a way that there's motivation for them to complete on time. That was in our last

897
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:12,960
meeting I was asking should we could we build that in the one concern I think they will hold them up

898
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:17,020
right now as it's all they're like we can't do anything until this permits so if the permits

899
00:54:17,020 --> 00:54:22,200
are ready in May so we have a start date that's the one that I think is a little bit I think I've

900
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:28,400
once we get a permit right I think that's what they can control that's what we talk I guess I was like

901
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:33,080
they're pretty old they're pretty old right then put it towards a if I could build it in if they could

902
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:36,760
get this but the permit was the pass right now I that would that was what the next conversation we

903
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:41,340
I would want to have is if you can guarantee by this date we'd rather give you some additional

904
00:54:41,340 --> 00:54:46,640
funds as opposed to a wasted space portable that I've got to worry about security and safety

905
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:51,080
as student like we want to make sure you yeah and their fees like their developer fees and stuff

906
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:56,140
on a percentage basis they're not that high they're gouging us I mean the prices seem pretty reasonable

907
00:54:56,140 --> 00:55:02,380
to me so when you suggested that and the finance being a thought it was great because I didn't think

908
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:10,440
The permit is the one, yeah, like I said, that's the start of the three month three model being the best nine years of your life, right?

909
00:55:11,940 --> 00:55:20,860
You know, I just don't want it to turn into something where we've got to go a full school year in some year, you know, like...

910
00:55:20,860 --> 00:55:28,500
Limbo, yeah. I totally agree. I think I'm being reasonable about how construction works. I think I'll say,

911
00:55:28,500 --> 00:55:33,340
Okay, the takes an extra month, I'm not going to be that mad, but we're going to discuss it.

912
00:55:33,500 --> 00:55:37,600
You know what I mean, but I don't think we'd let that go on that long, plus as a company

913
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:44,300
that primarily does school construction, I think they're pretty understanding of the need

914
00:55:44,300 --> 00:55:44,540
of this.

915
00:55:44,540 --> 00:55:44,700
Yeah.

916
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:50,560
And that was some of the references that we also talked about, but we did just have the exact

917
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:51,380
thing you're thinking of.

918
00:55:51,500 --> 00:55:52,180
That was the conversation.

919
00:55:52,500 --> 00:55:56,720
I'm like, you can give this, but the permit, it would have to be from that, what would

920
00:55:56,720 --> 00:55:56,900
be.

921
00:55:57,360 --> 00:56:02,320
And that's what they laid out, and we're looking at, unfortunately, around in that early fall,

922
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:06,260
if we get the permit, where they expect to finally get the permits approved.

923
00:56:06,540 --> 00:56:10,160
But I know you talked about these portables being hard to get.

924
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:12,900
Do we have to sign a commitment early on that, or can we see?

925
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:15,960
I mean, like, we'll have an idea by June how close they're going to be, right?

926
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:20,480
If we decided we wanted that this isn't going to happen on time and we're worried about it, can we get it then?

927
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:23,680
Or is this something we have to look ourselves into now?

928
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:29,440
Well, right, and that was one of the questions that were like we wanted to get more people's opinions on some just to and you know

929
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:35,160
Like are we thinking of all of the questions? We don't know. We're gonna those are some of the things we're gonna ask about

930
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:39,420
But I wrote that one now. That was one of my concerns, but I haven't had an answer

931
00:56:39,420 --> 00:56:41,860
Yeah, I've added portables to a school. They're your

932
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:43,320
model

933
00:56:44,340 --> 00:56:46,400
It was a long process

934
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:48,480
To your point

935
00:56:49,240 --> 00:56:52,640
So if we think we need to do that we need to get a line for that

936
00:56:52,640 --> 00:57:02,380
it was hard to find them and it was a mess. Okay, how long is long just from your

937
00:57:02,380 --> 00:57:07,200
recollection? I mean this is going back 10 years in my brain and I don't even know what happened

938
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:13,040
earlier this week. I hear you. And it's such a supply and demand that right now there is there's some

939
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:19,980
some romance down. I think I took us a couple of months to find some. So he responded back I was shocked.

940
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:25,960
Well they have quote yeah 24 hours and a quote which I thought if that's that's pretty

941
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:29,740
quick for in construction where I don't know how but I don't know how much leeway do I have

942
00:57:29,740 --> 00:57:34,340
to sign this before again it says long as they're available. I know at my local school they

943
00:57:34,340 --> 00:57:37,640
just don't take them out now because it was such a pain to get them in and out. That's where

944
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:40,700
this expense as you saw in that. I mean look at that quote yeah.

945
00:57:43,500 --> 00:57:44,380
I thought you said I've

946
00:57:44,380 --> 00:57:50,200
got a truck there for this. Wow.

947
00:57:55,320 --> 00:58:00,340
I'll bring water bottle.

948
00:58:02,980 --> 00:58:07,760
I love it. Okay so

949
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:10,320
that's what we're looking at. We're going to try to give answers to those

950
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:15,800
questions as quickly as possible. So I think for today I think we'll maybe just

951
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:20,400
approve the estimate about where we're at now what we know for you know we

952
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:24,440
know is going on and then those kind of follow-up meetings that we talked about

953
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:28,520
maybe quick meetings might be when changes come. Are you guys have any other

954
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:33,340
questions or concerns about that? We looked at you know some of that coming from

955
00:58:33,340 --> 00:58:37,400
our surplus from this year and next year but also coming from largely from the

956
00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:45,500
PTIF and we have close to 4 million there and so I think we're good I think we'll be I think we'll be good

957
00:58:45,500 --> 00:58:49,380
I think weren't we're gonna be in good shape, so I'm excited about that

958
00:58:53,960 --> 00:59:00,900
So any questions so does that mean anytime there's like a change order or something that takes us out from this estimate

959
00:59:00,900 --> 00:59:03,280
We'll have to approve that in a meeting

960
00:59:03,780 --> 00:59:05,320
We're gonna have to approve the final

961
00:59:07,420 --> 00:59:10,100
So what are, so yes, so what should we approve today?

962
00:59:10,140 --> 00:59:13,800
So how much she said on that one, if you did this at, I think one of the things we were

963
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:18,220
talking about from a accounting perspective, where would you be comfortable with and kind

964
00:59:18,220 --> 00:59:21,960
of goes, I don't think you're having a problem at all if you went to the 2.2, if you went

965
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:22,860
to something like that.

966
00:59:23,020 --> 00:59:25,600
You, you need some cushions so that that's a change order.

967
00:59:25,900 --> 00:59:30,340
Can our subcommittee kind of think, can we form that so that we're not going new, another

968
00:59:30,340 --> 00:59:34,240
meeting, let's bring it back, bring it back, they won't, they won't execute or order the

969
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:38,380
things or whatever it is until a change order has been signed and submitted and so it's

970
00:59:38,380 --> 00:59:43,160
like I don't want to hold up the process because we need to have a meeting to approve every

971
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:44,300
change order that comes through.

972
00:59:44,460 --> 00:59:49,860
Right and this is really just so that we have the funds approved so that one thing start moving

973
00:59:49,860 --> 00:59:50,580
we can start moving.

974
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:51,740
Okay.

975
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:55,200
So it seems like I think buffer is a great idea.

976
00:59:55,700 --> 00:59:55,960
Anyone?

977
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:56,140
one.

978
00:59:56,980 --> 00:59:58,780
I got this.

979
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:23,040
Okay. I am happy, happy to move that we approve the school expansion costs now to exceed $2.2 million. Second. Oh, okay, moved by Bob and seconded by Jordan to approve the school expansion costs, not to exceed $2.2 million. All in favor. Aye. Any opposed? Okay, voting was unanimous. Oh, that's so exciting.

980
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:29,940
I've never approved anything that high before.

981
01:00:29,940 --> 01:00:43,180
Okay, so excited for that to be worthwhile. Okay, this is less exciting now, but we need to approve

982
01:00:43,180 --> 01:00:43,820
to come for two.

983
01:00:50,700 --> 01:00:51,520
It's just about

984
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:52,060
perspective.

985
01:00:56,750 --> 01:00:57,090
Okay.

986
01:00:59,450 --> 01:01:01,050
What is where are

987
01:01:01,050 --> 01:01:05,110
we called for two cars? So yep, this

988
01:01:05,110 --> 01:01:06,530
one. And again, I just was I'm

989
01:01:06,530 --> 01:01:08,290
grabbing examples of what's

990
01:01:08,290 --> 01:01:09,410
available at the time they would

991
01:01:09,410 --> 01:01:10,910
have to take care of that. This

992
01:01:10,910 --> 01:01:12,990
would include not only the air

993
01:01:13,710 --> 01:01:15,450
estimated airfare. I just that's

994
01:01:15,450 --> 01:01:16,870
So that's a real wild card right now.

995
01:01:17,850 --> 01:01:20,450
Registration as well as the stipend for the teachers to attend

996
01:01:20,450 --> 01:01:23,170
on non-agreement days per dem on their travel dates

997
01:01:23,170 --> 01:01:25,450
because all the food is included while they're there.

998
01:01:25,730 --> 01:01:27,730
And then as well as the transportation

999
01:01:28,210 --> 01:01:30,190
because we have to get into Yukon.

1000
01:01:31,330 --> 01:01:36,250
So if we, this year, it's a little bit of a little bare group,

1001
01:01:36,410 --> 01:01:39,670
but if you have a couple working out schedule,

1002
01:01:39,690 --> 01:01:41,150
so it would be this or less.

1003
01:01:41,470 --> 01:01:42,370
I'm gonna leave it up, I guess.

1004
01:01:42,730 --> 01:01:44,350
There's a couple that are still trying to figure out,

1005
01:01:44,350 --> 01:01:46,410
As you know, just stuff that's happening.

1006
01:01:47,110 --> 01:01:52,810
And so, but if we were to take seven, there was seven of them.

1007
01:01:53,230 --> 01:01:53,950
Wait, that's what it is.

1008
01:01:54,170 --> 01:01:57,450
Seven people to go, then it would be just under 24,000,

1009
01:01:57,510 --> 01:01:58,230
based on those estimates.

1010
01:01:59,790 --> 01:02:02,250
So you're okay if we just padded on the private property.

1011
01:02:04,670 --> 01:02:06,230
Title two, repurpose funds.

1012
01:02:06,230 --> 01:02:07,690
We would be using school land trust.

1013
01:02:07,810 --> 01:02:09,090
We would be looking at using, we'd already

1014
01:02:09,090 --> 01:02:12,230
wrote that into the plan, and then any of the remainder

1015
01:02:12,230 --> 01:02:41,450
would talk in general. All right. Any questions, comments, concerns? No. Okay. Great. You would like to make a motion. I make a motion. Oh. I would like to know that we approve. Convertute costs. Not to exceed $25,000. Second. Okay. Move to buy Bart and second to buy Bob to approve the Convertute costs. Not to exceed $25,000. All in favor.

1016
01:02:42,590 --> 01:02:52,570
any post. Okay, voting was unanimous. All right. Oh, there you go. Lovely. Okay, you did an excellent job.

1017
01:02:54,290 --> 01:03:00,950
You always want to do it. So we just like it. Okay. All right. Employee conversation.

1018
01:03:01,310 --> 01:03:08,090
Arch conversation. Compensation. See, I mess up all the time. It's fine. Let's have a conversation

1019
01:03:08,090 --> 01:03:09,770
about a play compensation.

1020
01:03:10,850 --> 01:03:13,250
All right, let me just switch back to that.

1021
01:03:13,690 --> 01:03:14,250
Excuse me.

1022
01:03:14,450 --> 01:03:17,230
Does that have anything to do with any of your closed session stuff?

1023
01:03:17,430 --> 01:03:17,550
No.

1024
01:03:18,270 --> 01:03:18,950
Out of the moment.

1025
01:03:19,310 --> 01:03:20,170
No, I think so.

1026
01:03:20,510 --> 01:03:22,910
So on this one, looking at...

1027
01:03:22,910 --> 01:03:24,110
I apologize.

1028
01:03:24,310 --> 01:03:25,850
I don't know why I don't feel like I've already forgot.

1029
01:03:26,090 --> 01:03:28,270
We talked about in the financial review.

1030
01:03:28,450 --> 01:03:30,750
Did you talk about the WPU and stuff already, Kathy?

1031
01:03:31,110 --> 01:03:31,650
You didn't, did you?

1032
01:03:31,950 --> 01:03:33,450
We've talked about so much in the last three days.

1033
01:03:33,670 --> 01:03:34,270
Oh, today, okay.

1034
01:03:34,650 --> 01:03:37,210
So the WPU and look at that in the local replacement,

1035
01:03:37,210 --> 01:04:07,070
investment looking at that based on our numbers for next year and what we estimate on which we try to estimate conservatively with our students on those looking at that revenue also considering there's image also we need to make sure we're maintaining our teachers while we're doing these improvements that we're not spending money for this and pulling it from existing right raises stuff so what we're looking at meeting that financial meeting was continuing with their step and there are 3% for the salary to employees.

1036
01:04:07,210 --> 01:04:08,870
so that we're staying consistent with those years,

1037
01:04:09,350 --> 01:04:12,230
our prior years, increasing that benefit stip

1038
01:04:12,230 --> 01:04:14,910
and up another $55 a month to help offset

1039
01:04:14,910 --> 01:04:18,710
if they are, yeah, for, I'm sorry, what?

1040
01:04:18,950 --> 01:04:19,270
For gas.

1041
01:04:20,710 --> 01:04:22,430
Oh, wait, after they have a truck.

1042
01:04:24,230 --> 01:04:26,890
On that stipend as far as for medical and stuff,

1043
01:04:27,110 --> 01:04:28,490
those, we just see those go up each year.

1044
01:04:28,670 --> 01:04:30,710
So, and we didn't embrace those in the last couple of years,

1045
01:04:30,870 --> 01:04:33,030
so it'd be nice to do that for the teachers as well.

1046
01:04:33,370 --> 01:04:35,810
And then the eights would continue to follow their pay scale,

1047
01:04:35,810 --> 01:04:39,010
remaining in line with a step and a cost of living increase as well

1048
01:04:41,350 --> 01:04:42,370
but we

1049
01:04:42,370 --> 01:04:46,670
kind of talked about going that by doing that we would be pretty close to

1050
01:04:46,670 --> 01:04:57,230
using up what we have in that WNWP and local replacement. Yes, so it would be kind

1051
01:04:57,230 --> 01:05:03,410
of with each of those additional. We were being conservative but you know keeping up

1052
01:05:03,410 --> 01:05:07,270
with exactly what we're being given. So what is the proposed

1053
01:05:07,710 --> 01:05:12,270
percentage? Step there are step which they go up on that one based on their

1054
01:05:12,270 --> 01:05:19,330
year of experience so you have a naturally amount and then a 3% and then the

1055
01:05:19,330 --> 01:05:22,930
benefit stipend is outside of that percent is the additional 50-5 a month.

1056
01:05:24,410 --> 01:05:29,450
And then we do do we do the salary? I mean the hourly. hourly is sorry hourly would

1057
01:05:29,450 --> 01:05:33,290
be they have a pay scale as well so we would remain in line with them moving up a

1058
01:05:33,290 --> 01:05:36,090
step as well as their cost of living from the hourly pace.

1059
01:05:36,230 --> 01:05:41,050
Do we offer benefit packages to fades and part time employees just or just salary at

1060
01:05:41,050 --> 01:05:41,710
late for the day?

1061
01:05:42,510 --> 01:05:43,130
40 hours.

1062
01:05:45,230 --> 01:05:45,710
Yeah.

1063
01:05:46,670 --> 01:05:47,150
What?

1064
01:05:47,550 --> 01:05:48,870
30 is a 35 or 30?

1065
01:05:49,470 --> 01:05:50,930
There's some things, I think.

1066
01:05:51,390 --> 01:05:56,350
So they can participate like in 401K, but it doesn't get matched, so they can participate

1067
01:05:56,350 --> 01:05:59,550
and they can participate in supplemental, as far as the packages that we do.

1068
01:05:59,550 --> 01:06:05,350
So that's more based on the, I think it's right that it's more it's, so you just do

1069
01:06:05,350 --> 01:06:07,870
that in normal levels, you know, something you especially offer.

1070
01:06:08,690 --> 01:06:09,470
That was my-

1071
01:06:09,470 --> 01:06:11,950
I got several lots around, down to 30 or 35%.

1072
01:06:11,950 --> 01:06:12,570
Thank you, 30.

1073
01:06:12,730 --> 01:06:13,210
It is 30.

1074
01:06:13,830 --> 01:06:14,590
Is it 30?

1075
01:06:15,630 --> 01:06:20,930
The thing that's odd with that one is around one on nine months scale, so it really ends up

1076
01:06:20,930 --> 01:06:22,250
on the 70 beat closer to 40.

1077
01:06:22,490 --> 01:06:22,690
Right.

1078
01:06:23,450 --> 01:06:24,950
So that makes sense.

1079
01:06:24,950 --> 01:06:29,530
They are salaried, all salaried do, even if they're seven, eights.

1080
01:06:30,330 --> 01:06:34,950
So I should say that currently, if they're half-time, then a lot of them are kind of happy.

1081
01:06:35,470 --> 01:06:35,550
That's it.

1082
01:06:36,990 --> 01:06:37,530
Thank you.

1083
01:06:39,660 --> 01:06:44,120
Okay, so any questions, any other thoughts, questions on that concerns?

1084
01:06:44,820 --> 01:06:45,780
Feelings you'd like to share?

1085
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:46,960
Okay.

1086
01:06:47,240 --> 01:06:47,840
Okay, the people.

1087
01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:48,760
Wish we'd have more.

1088
01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:49,260
Yeah.

1089
01:06:52,360 --> 01:06:52,760
Okay.

1090
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:55,400
Would someone like to make a motion?

1091
01:06:55,400 --> 01:07:00,780
I move to approve the employee compensation as discussed.

1092
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:09,780
Okay, moved by Jordan and seconded by Kami to approve the employee compensation as discussed.

1093
01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:10,580
All in favor?

1094
01:07:11,180 --> 01:07:11,340
Aye.

1095
01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:12,360
Any opposed?

1096
01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:14,420
Okay, voting was unanimous.

1097
01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:19,380
All right, 2026, 2027 Sex Education Committee Membership.

1098
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:24,340
And this is just where we're listing who is on that committee again, right?

1099
01:07:24,340 --> 01:07:28,780
and then review it to the decision if the curriculum comes back.

1100
01:07:29,180 --> 01:07:30,560
Okay, so who's on that committee?

1101
01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:33,480
And so on this one, is it, remind me if it's parents,

1102
01:07:35,360 --> 01:07:38,540
even or more, it has to be more.

1103
01:07:38,780 --> 01:07:39,820
It has to be equal to.

1104
01:07:40,100 --> 01:07:41,160
Equal to or more, right?

1105
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:45,360
Okay, so on this one, so again, all of our board members are also parents,

1106
01:07:45,540 --> 01:07:49,700
but looking at three parents on that as well as with the school nurse,

1107
01:07:49,940 --> 01:07:51,480
the health teacher, and the administrator.

1108
01:07:51,480 --> 01:08:03,180
So it'd be equal to on this one, with ours, you know, so sometimes naturally the way of that one works, one that is also apparent.

1109
01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:03,920
Yeah.

1110
01:08:04,900 --> 01:08:09,540
So it actually ends up being over, but I'm going to make sure it's still just so there's no concerns.

1111
01:08:09,980 --> 01:08:11,140
It'll still be the equal too.

1112
01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:15,360
But then again, we'd love to have at least one board member on that.

1113
01:08:15,540 --> 01:08:18,060
If there's anyone that's interested, it'd be great to serve as that parent.

1114
01:08:18,060 --> 01:08:20,540
or if there's two, I'll have two of you on that,

1115
01:08:21,280 --> 01:08:22,260
whichever you prefer.

1116
01:08:22,440 --> 01:08:23,420
I do that last year.

1117
01:08:23,740 --> 01:08:23,860
Okay.

1118
01:08:24,780 --> 01:08:26,320
Dan, I'm happy to do it.

1119
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:27,200
Dan, I don't have lots of years.

1120
01:08:28,060 --> 01:08:29,460
Reviewed those lots of times.

1121
01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:31,520
You like an expert?

1122
01:08:32,020 --> 01:08:32,160
Yeah.

1123
01:08:33,620 --> 01:08:35,260
So are we just approving the makeup?

1124
01:08:35,540 --> 01:08:37,520
You're approving the makeup.

1125
01:08:38,280 --> 01:08:40,660
So three parents and three staff members.

1126
01:08:41,500 --> 01:08:41,740
Okay.

1127
01:08:41,820 --> 01:08:44,520
I'd like to add men to help to turn nerves, but.

1128
01:08:45,140 --> 01:08:45,360
Okay.

1129
01:08:45,980 --> 01:08:47,180
All right, let's prove that.

1130
01:08:47,180 --> 01:08:50,960
But if we all agree, someone like to make a motion.

1131
01:08:52,060 --> 01:08:58,000
I move that we approve the 2026, 2027 sex education committee membership as discussed.

1132
01:08:59,480 --> 01:09:08,810
Okay, moved by Jordan and second by Bob to approve the 2026, 2027 sex education committee

1133
01:09:08,810 --> 01:09:09,310
membership.

1134
01:09:09,310 --> 01:09:10,030
All in favor?

1135
01:09:10,710 --> 01:09:10,970
Aye.

1136
01:09:11,510 --> 01:09:11,810
Any opposed?

1137
01:09:12,430 --> 01:09:13,590
Okay voting was unanimous.

1138
01:09:14,630 --> 01:09:18,170
And then just to clarify did you are you both are you both are you both are you gonna

1139
01:09:18,650 --> 01:09:23,510
can we? I'm happy to do it if you want me to, if you sound like you're an expert so I know

1140
01:09:23,510 --> 01:09:27,810
but I think but you're also, well you can also have both of you on it and then I would just have

1141
01:09:27,810 --> 01:09:32,330
and then I just want my, in the past there's been two people, in the past there's been two co-chairs

1142
01:09:32,330 --> 01:09:38,330
but there's not, okay so just can we, I just don't know if we do it quickly. Yay can we, good job.

1143
01:09:39,650 --> 01:09:47,830
Okay all right so the policies that we need to discuss are the amended wellness

1144
01:09:47,830 --> 01:09:52,670
this policy and the amended administration of medication policy. Does anyone have any

1145
01:09:52,670 --> 01:09:56,670
questions or concerns on the changes to the either of those policies?

1146
01:09:57,470 --> 01:10:00,790
Your state mandated changes, right? State mandated changes.

1147
01:10:01,770 --> 01:10:05,890
So the one, so the wellness is the one that we made some adjustments to and then the state

1148
01:10:05,890 --> 01:10:12,250
mandated the other one. So I just comment, not the other. I did send the amended administration

1149
01:10:12,250 --> 01:10:16,330
medication policy to our nurse just to make sure and got her feedback and she said that

1150
01:10:16,330 --> 01:10:20,910
That looks great. Thank you. It needed to be updated. So this is where, and this was

1151
01:10:20,910 --> 01:10:25,270
right in mind with what she would, she liked it. So she gave her stamp of approval,

1152
01:10:25,270 --> 01:10:25,950
I guess, as well.

1153
01:10:26,250 --> 01:10:36,350
Can we take the pre-separate? Because on the, I think, based off of, there may be some interesting

1154
01:10:36,350 --> 01:10:37,350
discussion on this one.

1155
01:10:37,790 --> 01:10:40,650
Okay, so we can do a separate. That's not like you didn't want to do a separate one.

1156
01:10:40,810 --> 01:10:42,890
I don't want to, but I think it would probably show up.

1157
01:10:42,890 --> 01:10:51,730
Okay, all right so you oh going forward you mean or like right now? No, no, like look so okay, I'm gonna I

1158
01:10:52,730 --> 01:10:53,290
move to

1159
01:10:54,530 --> 01:10:57,850
approve the amended administration of the medication policy

1160
01:10:58,390 --> 01:11:06,510
Okay, okay move by Bob and seconded by Kami to approve the amended administration of medication policy all in favor

1161
01:11:06,510 --> 01:11:09,630
Hi any post okay voting once unanimous

1162
01:11:12,890 --> 01:11:20,830
Stay for the record was changing. Okay. Absolutely. Oh, like read the red line. No, no, just like the summary. Oh, okay

1163
01:11:22,150 --> 01:11:24,530
Jordan, will you read the summary? Do you have that?

1164
01:11:27,550 --> 01:11:28,190
It's worth

1165
01:11:29,010 --> 01:11:33,250
No, can you read all the way over to there? No, but I have it right. Okay

1166
01:11:36,270 --> 01:11:40,130
So you just want me to read the amended wellness policy summary?

1167
01:11:41,090 --> 01:11:56,990
I think that's correct, I think that's right, okay, the school would like to make some adjustments and clarifications to its wellness policy, including with respect to the sections of physical activity and recess.

1168
01:11:57,490 --> 01:12:07,330
The changes to the physical activity section focus on the distinction between withholding recess as a punitive disciplinary consequence, which is not allowed under the policy.

1169
01:12:07,330 --> 01:12:18,390
and implementing restorative or natural consequences during recess time under certain circumstances such as when a student's behavior creates safety concerns for others, which is allowed under the policy.

1170
01:12:19,030 --> 01:12:34,650
The changes to the recess section add additional detail and guidelines regarding the conditions, whether environmental and environmental under which outdoor recess is appropriate as well as explain how indoor recess will be handled when outdoor recess is not appropriate.

1171
01:12:35,490 --> 01:12:36,870
Thank you very much.

1172
01:12:37,030 --> 01:12:37,410
Okay.

1173
01:12:37,550 --> 01:12:38,610
Would someone like to make a motion?

1174
01:12:39,890 --> 01:12:43,570
I move that we approve the amended wellness policy.

1175
01:12:44,990 --> 01:12:45,590
Second.

1176
01:12:46,050 --> 01:12:46,310
Okay.

1177
01:12:46,530 --> 01:12:51,610
Moved by Kami and seconded by Jordan to approve the amended wellness policy on favor.

1178
01:12:52,070 --> 01:12:52,350
Hi.

1179
01:12:52,890 --> 01:12:53,430
Any opposed?

1180
01:12:54,310 --> 01:12:54,450
Okay.

1181
01:12:54,610 --> 01:12:55,890
Voting was unanimous.

1182
01:12:59,200 --> 01:12:59,720
Okay.

1183
01:13:02,440 --> 01:13:03,540
All right.

1184
01:13:03,740 --> 01:13:04,680
So, calendaring.

1185
01:13:06,180 --> 01:13:07,560
We are moving right along.

1186
01:13:07,560 --> 01:13:15,140
Okay, so just coming up on May 20th at 6 p.m. in the library right here where we are, we're

1187
01:13:15,140 --> 01:13:20,780
going to have our SIG meeting. We've done our board training throughout the year at our

1188
01:13:20,780 --> 01:13:25,240
board meeting so we're not going to have to worry about our annual board training and I think

1189
01:13:25,240 --> 01:13:29,800
that's a change that has worked out nicely and I think it's a little more convenient for everyone.

1190
01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:35,980
But we do need to meet to discuss the school improvement goal for next year with our administration

1191
01:13:35,980 --> 01:13:39,380
and our PTO leaders for next year.

1192
01:13:40,020 --> 01:13:45,000
Tanya, you're okay to still provide some options kind of to help guide us along.

1193
01:13:45,220 --> 01:13:45,360
Sure.

1194
01:13:45,560 --> 01:13:45,780
And that.

1195
01:13:46,060 --> 01:13:48,360
Jordan, are you still okay to facilitate that?

1196
01:13:50,470 --> 01:13:50,910
Yeah.

1197
01:13:52,230 --> 01:13:52,690
Okay.

1198
01:13:53,270 --> 01:13:55,230
So it's almost like an evil laugh.

1199
01:13:55,370 --> 01:13:55,650
But sure.

1200
01:13:58,030 --> 01:14:00,050
You did a great job.

1201
01:14:01,250 --> 01:14:02,070
How long will you budget?

1202
01:14:02,810 --> 01:14:03,490
How long?

1203
01:14:04,650 --> 01:14:05,850
Well, should I block out?

1204
01:14:05,850 --> 01:14:13,270
Um, I feel like two hours max, but we will also provide dinner so but last time it was pretty fast

1205
01:14:13,270 --> 01:14:17,950
I don't remember how I don't remember last year or you know, I don't remember last week

1206
01:14:17,950 --> 01:14:20,110
So do we remember how long that took?

1207
01:14:20,110 --> 01:14:24,430
That's probably because it went faster because we were back in Carpool

1208
01:14:25,490 --> 01:14:31,410
Okay, so I think two hours max should be fine because we'll we'll give some food and then we'll

1209
01:14:31,410 --> 01:14:33,910
We'll eat and discuss at the same time

1210
01:14:33,910 --> 01:14:35,570
That's for all board members.

1211
01:14:35,590 --> 01:14:38,010
For all board members, yep, in Hannah.

1212
01:14:39,190 --> 01:14:42,010
And Edmund Smith, so Hannah's excited.

1213
01:14:42,770 --> 01:14:44,290
And we are going to go at this six o'clock.

1214
01:14:44,710 --> 01:14:45,210
Uh-huh, sure.

1215
01:14:45,350 --> 01:14:46,070
Let's do six o'clock.

1216
01:14:46,710 --> 01:14:50,010
I did email the PTO to see if there was a time that was best, and I shouldn't get one.

1217
01:14:50,350 --> 01:14:51,770
Okay, and let's just do six.

1218
01:14:56,790 --> 01:14:59,950
Okay, and then our next board meeting is June 4th.

1219
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:25,900
At 2026, at 4.30 p.m., and that will be our annual board meeting. And I'm not entirely sure what makes it annual versus regular, but it's at the end of the school year. That's the only way I could figure that out because of the budget. All right. Well, then that makes sense. And two weeks before that one, before your annual board meeting is when you have to have that posted right. Well, there you go. I learned something new.

1220
01:15:28,900 --> 01:15:30,480
Okay, let's get ready.

1221
01:15:30,900 --> 01:15:33,260
Let's see if we can move into a closed session with someone

1222
01:15:33,260 --> 01:15:34,060
like to make a motion.

1223
01:15:35,040 --> 01:15:42,020
I move that we answer a closed session to discuss the character

1224
01:15:42,020 --> 01:15:44,780
professional conference, which is a core mental health

1225
01:15:44,780 --> 01:15:45,520
from an individual.

1226
01:15:45,820 --> 01:15:48,140
I code 52 for 205.

1227
01:15:49,140 --> 01:15:49,660
Second.

1228
01:15:50,740 --> 01:15:54,400
Okay, moved by Bob and seconded by Jordan to move into a closed session

1229
01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:58,560
to discuss the character, professional competence or physical or mental health of an individual,

1230
01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:06,620
pursuant to code Utah Code 52-4205-IA. All in favor. I'll buy roll call.

1231
01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:08,920
I, Sydney Warnick.

1232
01:16:09,660 --> 01:16:12,260
I can hear it either. I, Jordan Shields.

1233
01:16:14,780 --> 01:16:20,260
Hey, voting was unanimous and we are moving into a closed session at 5.48 pm.
