[3:18]
Yes. Um, our enrollment
[3:22]
last month we did do have, um,
[3:27]
that we had,
[3:32]
but, um, so that the new dude depart third grade C
[3:39]
um, stuff that's kind of on the line.
[3:42]
Uh, our bus driver that's,
[3:44]
or possible bus driver is having a little difficulty, um,
[3:49]
getting through the driving tests.
[3:51]
Um, there's,
[4:00]
so hopefully we can get that done and we get rolling.
[4:04]
That's that February,
[4:07]
get a little pressure off current bus drivers
[4:10]
that are doing the double for the combined route.
[4:14]
And um, we did do a fire drill fired grill yesterday
[4:18]
to block exits.
[4:19]
So everybody was very well
[4:21]
and we learned a few things we could improve on, which,
[4:24]
so that was good.
[4:26]
Uh, we're in the middle of mass testing our,
[4:29]
our title teacher, um, back from a, a lead she took
[4:33]
and, um, we tested s business this week
[4:37]
and he's on track made, all done window of, so
[4:42]
to go there, uh, opportunity, uh,
[4:45]
we're taking a couple weeks off of that, uh, based on
[4:49]
starting the end quarter and getting some grades received.
[4:54]
Our meeting of the quarter, um,
[4:59]
we'll pick that up as the, as the need arises.
[5:02]
Can you have, um, usually five ish.
[5:09]
Um, the tree situation that we discussed last month, um, uh,
[5:16]
itself, a person that wasn't originally willing
[5:20]
to commit, uh, with all this nice.
[5:22]
Whether they have told a legal to do it
[5:27]
and so they were willing to do the job
[5:30]
or different cost that want to dump charge,
[5:33]
but that brought the price down that 5,000 limit.
[5:38]
So we just went ahead and it was 2,500 taxes.
[5:41]
So almost third price.
[5:44]
They did what you
[5:47]
Had mentioned are, I don't know, the benches.
[5:52]
Yep. Yep.
[5:54]
So, so we have, um,
[5:57]
the boards have arrived their, um, plastic on doors.
[6:02]
Um, so they used that painting frames
[6:06]
and uh, so yeah.
[6:09]
Okay. Yeah, they did an excellent job.
[6:12]
And I took, yeah. Yeah.
[6:17]
Um, then we're, um, in the middle
[6:19]
of our skiing for the year.
[6:21]
Our, uh, first
[6:22]
through fourth grade got done a couple weeks ago working in
[6:25]
our fifth grade day was our second trip.
[6:28]
We had one one week. Um, today was a beautiful day. We snow.
[6:34]
So, uh, on there, things coming up.
[6:39]
Um, um,
[6:44]
Mr. O'Neal, a couple reasons before yet,
[6:47]
but we've been fortunate enough to be asked.
[6:50]
Participated. RBHI got
[6:55]
that active Gabriel Health Institute, which,
[7:00]
um, uses screening
[7:04]
and you know, the various tests for, you know, individual
[7:09]
to them get on their medical screen
[7:12]
and if there
[7:16]
mental health that, so this real,
[7:24]
so it supplies that screening
[7:26]
and then does the diagnostic is something that helps
[7:32]
a therapy or anything like that.
[7:34]
But case speaking out of know,
[7:37]
but I had a meeting with him the other day
[7:41]
and so we want to present this today, you guys
[7:46]
to see what the thoughts were until we act on it.
[7:48]
But I think without having a counselor currently,
[7:52]
and you know, even we have,
[7:56]
but just, you know, having the presence in mental health in
[8:02]
and I believe pretty try.
[8:04]
Mm-hmm. So
[8:07]
after this discussion that we're going text
[8:15]
board, um, having names to itself,
[8:21]
having that would
[8:23]
be, I think it would just be agreement.
[8:29]
I printed out some documents for you.
[8:31]
They're, they're in my pile. Okay.
[8:33]
Um, it is an evidence-based screener
[8:36]
that they'll do it on the computer, um, which seems odd,
[8:41]
but they've been using it in mute.
[8:43]
They're doing it right now at the
[8:45]
high school and middle school.
[8:47]
But the kids go through the, the screener digitally.
[8:51]
Um, and then it flags if they have any mental health leads
[8:56]
and if there's a red flag, they hook them up with care.
[9:01]
And there was a little guy at one of the elementary schools
[9:04]
that he was internalizing everything.
[9:06]
They had no clue. The school didn't, the parents didn't
[9:10]
and suicidal
[9:13]
and connected him to care immediately.
[9:16]
Like before he left school, they got ahold of the parents
[9:19]
and got the parents in and it's, it's a good program.
[9:23]
It is free. Um, the gal that runs it,
[9:26]
Kaylee Brown, she's a new girl.
[9:28]
She saves spots for the new schools
[9:31]
'cause she, they only have so many spots,
[9:34]
but they're, it's being used throughout the state,
[9:37]
but they only have so many spots.
[9:39]
But, um, it's an opt in. Parents don't have to do it.
[9:42]
It's a voluntary program.
[9:44]
So I, I print it off what it's about
[9:47]
and I also print it out the note.
[9:50]
These might be a little outdated. They, they, they
[9:54]
Did, they emailed Me.
[9:55]
Okay. And this is the letter that will go home to parents.
[9:59]
So parents don't have to do it.
[10:01]
If you're doing anything
[10:02]
with mental health anymore, you have to have parents.
[10:04]
Oh, you used to be able to send a note home
[10:06]
and say, if you don't want to do it, let us know.
[10:10]
But now you have to have active consent.
[10:12]
They have to sign permission to allow them to,
[10:16]
I'm a huge advocate of it.
[10:17]
I've seen what it's done in the MU schools,
[10:19]
but actually it was brought,
[10:21]
they brought it in when I was still working in school
[10:23]
district and it's just kind
[10:25]
of spread like wildfire in the district
[10:27]
that using all the schools from the
[10:30]
elementary up through the high school. So
[10:33]
Would Opt not opt out?
[10:37]
Yeah. So you have sent, you have
[10:39]
to get notes signed back from the parents. So
[10:43]
I would think with everything with the situation
[10:48]
and kids pick up one way more than anybody
[10:54]
that there's a lot of kids that feel anxious and concerned
[10:59]
and scared.
[11:01]
And so I think is a great idea that,
[11:05]
Well, and I've said this before
[11:07]
and I don't mean to talk too much,
[11:09]
but, um, Montana's got the second or first
[11:13]
or second suicide rate in the country.
[11:15]
Silver bows first or second in Montana.
[11:19]
And I went through it in Butte
[11:21]
and I never want to go to a parent's house again off
[11:24]
of my condolences.
[11:25]
It's the worst thing I've ever had.
[11:27]
But we lost a 10-year-old to suicide in the beauty school.
[11:32]
So this is,
[11:34]
I think it's especially not having a council mm-hmm.
[11:42]
Fact say we were informed on that.
[11:44]
We didn't want a child to stay that
[11:49]
consent to it and no
[11:53]
Absolute sure.
[11:57]
So would parents actually read it would
[12:00]
have my consent to it.
[12:01]
Are the kids that we need
[12:03]
more month?
[12:10]
I think that's a good question. Yeah.
[12:11]
If there's a, a student that maybe you're worried about
[12:14]
or didn't turn in the form,
[12:15]
maybe it'd be a follow up call mm-hmm.
[12:18]
To say, Hey, you know, that it scares some people.
[12:22]
I understand that, but it's,
[12:24]
it's evidence based proven to work.
[12:26]
But I, I would think that it make a few phone calls
[12:30]
that say we're doing this, you know, just being proactive,
[12:34]
trying to get kids help.
[12:35]
We need it because a lot of kids internalize mm-hmm.
[12:37]
And you never see it. Yeah.
[12:39]
Until sometimes it's too late, unfortunately. Mm-hmm.
[12:46]
So we'll get that all next week
[12:48]
and kind of to GY back that
[12:50]
or during the same front we,
[12:55]
um, so we'll wait until that
[12:58]
for those are similar.
[13:03]
Um, pre-K we were just discussing that
[13:05]
and all stayed back for mrne on the finance side.
[13:10]
But, um, I think things are looking pretty bright on
[13:13]
that next year.
[13:17]
Um, couple things coming up.
[13:19]
Irish dancers are coming on March 12th in the morning, um,
[13:25]
that either thing
[13:26]
and haven't been here since I've been here, but it hurts.
[13:31]
It is very cold. Yeah, it's been done.
[13:36]
So at 8 45 in the morning.
[13:38]
So available, um, rotary Club.
[13:42]
I met with him yesterday. Mr.
[13:44]
Uh, talking contacts there
[13:47]
and assist with the construction of the greenhouse
[13:50]
that we purchased through the foundation grant
[13:53]
that we got last spring.
[13:55]
So we have the greenhouse here, which is decent still.
[14:00]
They, uh, community outreach projects
[14:04]
and uh, they built pretty well.
[14:07]
We picked that on the page against today.
[14:10]
And
[14:15]
so the next couple of months,
[14:22]
um, the spring professional development,
[14:26]
we do this every year, uh, Friday
[14:29]
and kind of build some of their, some of the teachers,
[14:32]
um, credits.
[14:34]
So this year we're gonna be doing, um, I think it's,
[14:38]
I might have put this down developmental virtually.
[14:43]
Um, I can't remember which one we're going to go with,
[14:46]
but either way it's kind of training kind.
[14:49]
Same thing with, uh, the RVHI squad bring the
[14:54]
suicide prevention mental health stuff back to forth people
[14:59]
keen on signs of things for that.
[15:05]
It is, it's basically like first aid for mental health
[15:09]
and it's, it's the youth mental
[15:10]
Health. It is. Okay.
[15:11]
Um, so that'll be April 10th,
[15:16]
that's a two hour pre-training and then a six hour.
[15:24]
And then with that thing, we're still, uh, looking
[15:28]
for counselors and uh, you know, this, this,
[15:31]
this stuff coming up will help with that in terms
[15:34]
of filling that void.
[15:35]
But we're always looking for a person to be present
[15:39]
and um, you know, this setting is not is only apartment.
[15:46]
That's our, our biggest hurdle is
[15:49]
department services
[15:54]
Department.
[15:56]
So we'll discuss more of that coming up,
[15:59]
but uh, next meeting will be March of
[16:04]
Okay.
[16:06]
Be back that meeting.
[16:11]
So tropical I
[16:17]
Not lie, I to bc.
[16:19]
Oh, don't lie.
[16:26]
I going until May.
[16:31]
Oh, I want attorney. Oh yeah.
[16:42]
Um, March 11th,
[16:53]
18th.
[17:04]
Well, I expect
[17:10]
anybody, um, the 18th I'll be here.
[17:15]
Do the 18th. I'm just trying to be signed That good meeting.
[17:19]
Oh, enough times. We have to do the 3 0 7.
[17:22]
It has to be in the paper
[17:24]
by
[17:24]
1st of March.
[17:30]
Um,
[17:39]
Saturday.
[17:43]
I just think the paper only does a couple days a week
[17:45]
now the deadline.
[17:47]
So, but no, I think we should be okay. Okay.
[17:50]
We'll plan on if anything comes up, please let me know ahead
[17:57]
Then. One thing I forgot,
[17:58]
um, king Street, I met with Bob Moore
[18:02]
past week must been, um, so they have some
[18:06]
preliminary drawing.
[18:08]
We had survey teams out.
[18:10]
So they have I think three different designs
[18:13]
that they want present as well
[18:15]
as discuss the bond timeframe.
[18:18]
And at this point it sounds like they don't want to
[18:23]
discuss it directly to the board.
[18:25]
They want back to me. Um, so I did form Katie
[18:29]
and we'll be meeting on the 17th of February
[18:34]
and so they'll discuss it, whatever.
[18:37]
And, uh, as
[18:44]
it probably makes a decision least on maybe the bond,
[18:48]
I'm sure this point, what they all have,
[18:52]
but that seems like going forward, they want,
[19:04]
your honor,
[19:06]
Press rose.
[19:07]
Um, I'll left you a few documents there.
[19:11]
Upcoming dates, accreditation.
[19:12]
We do have accreditation that's, um, opening this month. Mr.
[19:16]
Kellogg so's taking care of that,
[19:17]
but more than happy to also.
[19:19]
Yeah, we'll give that you tomorrow.
[19:21]
Okay. Yep. Um,
[19:22]
county spelling be is tomorrow two o'clock at East.
[19:25]
Um, Ramsey has their squad
[19:28]
and you have the most seasoned, most veteran
[19:31]
spelling be participant in all 66
[19:35]
and 20 or eighth graders.
[19:37]
This is his fourth Wow. Um, trip to the county spelling.
[19:41]
So yeah, so, so
[19:45]
that should be fun if I don't screw it up.
[19:49]
Watch, don't, don't, don't. There's a side door.
[19:55]
Um, our next community action team meeting that Mr.
[19:57]
Kellogg attends is a week from today.
[20:00]
The New archives, um, name that too in
[20:02]
as Reviewed Education Foundation fundraiser.
[20:05]
That's the last Saturday of this month.
[20:07]
And hope that Ramsey has, you have, it's a,
[20:11]
that's the foundation raises money for the grants like
[20:14]
for the Greenhouse and our celebration of excellence
[20:17]
that boys has been to and, and our books
[20:21]
and babies program that I've talked about.
[20:23]
But it's a, it's a really fun night
[20:25]
and we, the community really
[20:28]
opens their wallets to our kids.
[20:31]
Um, I'll just tell you a little bit about it.
[20:33]
We have three rounds, 10 teams in each round.
[20:37]
Three people on a team play a song top heavy
[20:41]
with eighties music for about 15 to 20 seconds.
[20:44]
They either have to name the artist or the song or both,
[20:48]
or either you get it right, keep going, you miss you're out.
[20:52]
But you can get bought back in for 50 bucks.
[20:55]
Last year we had 227 buybacks. Oh my God.
[20:59]
That's 50 bucks a piece.
[21:03]
So there's teams that get bought back 10, 11, 12 times
[21:07]
and please don't buy me back.
[21:08]
We're done. It's, it's a fun night, but it's, it's long.
[21:12]
And I found out that I would never wanna be a bartender.
[21:14]
Oh wow. So anyway, that's the end of the month.
[21:19]
Um, our Hall of Fame, which we'll have six Ramsey Rams
[21:22]
competing in is at Butte High on May 7th.
[21:25]
I'll get the packets out
[21:27]
to our Ramsey kids a month in advance.
[21:29]
And then I got the grade school track meeting there.
[21:32]
So May is just man chaotic.
[21:34]
I say, yeah, I love, love may, it's just all fun stuff.
[21:38]
So on pre-K program, as we know,
[21:41]
we got a $10,000 anonymous donation.
[21:44]
We still need about 41,000 more.
[21:46]
I applied for Grant
[21:47]
through the Washington Washington Foundation.
[21:50]
I had three emails back the day after I submitted it.
[21:54]
And those emails led me
[21:55]
to believe they're interested in funding it.
[21:57]
But one of the questions was, is this a one time only cost?
[22:01]
Yes. So they were happy with that. Mm-hmm.
[22:04]
Another question with,
[22:05]
with any other districts in the county be
[22:08]
applying, my answer was no.
[22:10]
'cause buts already implemented. Mm-hmm. So that was good.
[22:14]
And then they emailed me back
[22:15]
and said, I applied through the Education Foundation
[22:19]
because I thought they wanted it through a nonprofit.
[22:22]
So he emailed me back
[22:23]
and said, really think you have a good chance
[22:26]
of getting the funding if you apply
[22:29]
through s Rams at school.
[22:31]
So I'm redoing the grant now.
[22:33]
I'll have it done by the end of the week.
[22:35]
Um, and I asked for the 41,000. Right.
[22:39]
So that would give us the whole Sure problem we need.
[22:42]
Um, so if that doesn't work, um,
[22:47]
and you can see both down here, um,
[22:50]
that's the Montana Opioid Abatement Trust.
[22:54]
I'm on that board. And one of the categories
[22:59]
that they fund is early education and intervention.
[23:03]
So I explained the pre-K program to the rest
[23:05]
of the board members said, would
[23:07]
that be appropriate to apply for?
[23:09]
They said, absolutely. So, and then a lot of money.
[23:13]
So that's, that's a backup plan.
[23:16]
So Mo Washington Foundation is up to bat and Mo is on debt.
[23:21]
So fingers crossed. What's that?
[23:24]
I said we're not, I think we're going to get it.
[23:27]
So I think we do registration.
[23:29]
We allow, we have 10 families interested.
[23:34]
We allow them to register
[23:35]
and say, you know, it's pending funding
[23:37]
but it's looking very positive.
[23:39]
So hopefully we'll know by that. So yeah.
[23:42]
So then we'll have to do screenings.
[23:44]
We'll have to screen those 10 kids and,
[23:46]
and get curriculum everything.
[23:49]
But we've met with OPI once
[23:51]
or twice a already so they're aware
[23:53]
that we're pursuing this, um, school accreditation.
[23:56]
I won't go through that on the back Hope Squad.
[23:59]
I'll save that for new business item number 10.
[24:03]
You're probably sick of hearing me talk about it.
[24:05]
Um, RVHI, we already talked about that.
[24:09]
The Montana innovative tax credit.
[24:11]
We didn't have any take this year,
[24:13]
but I'll take, um, the hit for that.
[24:16]
I think next year we need to start promoting that early.
[24:21]
Um, huge central I was told got over $200. Wow.
[24:25]
And I don't know how they're doing it
[24:27]
because um, when the money runs out,
[24:32]
you, you can't, so there's the portal
[24:35]
and it opens at 10 o'clock on January, whatever
[24:39]
the money was gone at six minutes.
[24:41]
Yeah. This year. And I don't central drop, they get to apply
[24:45]
for a different pot of money than public schools.
[24:47]
So there's several, but you have to be on the ball. Oh.
[24:51]
So I think next year we go
[24:53]
after some businesses that have, um, that pay a lot
[24:57]
of state tax and just be proactive
[25:00]
and hit it like in the summer.
[25:03]
So if we can get just one big company.
[25:07]
Oh yeah. I mean, so that, that would be just a nice windfall
[25:11]
of cash school.
[25:13]
So, and make more work for cash.
[25:15]
And, and then the last,
[25:18]
the last two things I have is I talked about our Books
[25:20]
and Babies program that we're starting our literacy bags.
[25:24]
Um, we got our bags.
[25:26]
Um, so Green Bank paid for the bags,
[25:31]
they foundations paying for the books
[25:34]
and uh, the hospital we hand 'em out
[25:36]
and signing kits up for the Dolly Bark library.
[25:39]
So, so just wanted to let you know about that.
[25:42]
I think it'll help improve literacy in our community.
[25:45]
So, and then last move on Outfitters,
[25:47]
your two new students they were in last Thursday.
[25:50]
Were they So good.
[25:52]
So if you just continue to let your families know that,
[25:55]
that's available too, too, so,
[25:59]
and they were very nice and very appreciative.
[26:01]
So yeah. So that's all I have except the squad
[26:04]
and I'll save that for new business.
[26:06]
Okay. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you.
[26:10]
Comments is
[26:14]
presentation on PR series.
[26:21]
This is our first semester transportation plans.
[26:24]
Basically just playing the grade all semester.
[26:28]
Um, its our reimbursement request to the week.
[26:33]
Um, these bad, it was a hardest problem I had to do to date
[26:38]
because we had half day routes
[26:41]
and running one route only the mornings
[26:44]
and while we're out only in the afternoons.
[26:45]
And so it took some, some figuring,
[26:48]
but, um, yeah, well done I
[26:52]
that awesome.
[26:58]
Um, presentation.
[27:00]
Present our press inspection.
[27:06]
Well, things are done twice a year.
[27:08]
Kind Control comes out, does an inspection on our buses,
[27:11]
make sure everything wants work order have done prior
[27:16]
to our second semester.
[27:19]
So that's just it.
[27:22]
This condition and past inspection,
[27:30]
um, purchase
[27:35]
for the curriculum are
[27:38]
No there.
[27:48]
Tap,
[27:50]
Uh, discuss with like,
[27:56]
So Mr. And
[27:57]
I, I had a meeting with the,
[28:06]
uh, to get it started in
[28:10]
and kind like we discussed
[28:12]
before, program that grades
[28:18]
students and middle school to be,
[28:23]
uh, some of the kids that are having
[28:28]
issues or whatever you adults about at these kids,
[28:34]
at these kids that they come to
[28:40]
make them aware of the situation, those kids
[28:44]
that are on squad.
[28:57]
So
[29:05]
it sounds to me like the process of picking the group, group
[29:11]
would probably,
[29:15]
or bringing that would
[29:17]
not my impression.
[29:21]
Yeah. So the,
[29:22]
the way it works is you first have three trusted adults go
[29:27]
through the six hour training, two three hour trainings.
[29:31]
And then you come back and you start an nomination
[29:33]
process with the kids.
[29:35]
So they nominate, um,
[29:37]
I think three kids they feel are trustworthy
[29:40]
and easy to talk to.
[29:42]
And then those three advisors go through the nominations
[29:46]
and you'll see certain names come to the top
[29:49]
and they become your Hope squad.
[29:51]
This lady, based on the size of NC School,
[29:54]
recommended five per grade level and 6, 7, 8.
[29:57]
Um, and then you have a meeting
[30:00]
with their parents to explain the program.
[30:02]
Okay. An in person meeting with, with the parents.
[30:05]
And then, um, we talked about Mr.
[30:08]
Kellogg, myself and one
[30:09]
of the teachers here would be the advisors who get trained.
[30:13]
Um, so I love coming up here with the kids,
[30:15]
but um, basically like Chris said, Mr.
[30:18]
Kellogg said we're not expecting kids to be counselors.
[30:21]
We've never put that on their backs, but they are a bridge
[30:25]
and they're trained how to look for a kid
[30:28]
who might be struggling.
[30:30]
One of the trainings they go through is QPR, just like CPR,
[30:33]
but it's more of a suicide prevention.
[30:35]
It teaches 'em how
[30:37]
to question a student when they're hurting, how
[30:40]
to persuade them to get help and how to refer them help.
[30:42]
But they're actually the bridge between
[30:45]
the student and adults.
[30:47]
'cause sixth, seventh, and eighth graders,
[30:48]
they typically don't like to talk to adults, your Honor.
[30:51]
So it is, I I sent you the, the link for the video.
[30:55]
If you haven't watched it,
[30:56]
you're having questions about it, watch that video.
[31:00]
So they're trying to implement it in
[31:01]
every school in Mississippi.
[31:03]
They took it to the legislature there. Wow.
[31:05]
It's a pretty powerful video from Chris
[31:07]
and Cassie watched it.
[31:08]
Yeah. Um, Dylan's using it. Billing schools are using it.
[31:12]
Think Rocky Boy.
[31:14]
Um, once again, it's an evidence-based
[31:16]
and I, I printed out a document for you
[31:19]
and if you look on the back of the first page, this is, uh,
[31:24]
the curriculum that the kids, um,
[31:28]
go through the whole class.
[31:29]
They learn about building relationships,
[31:32]
cultivating empathy, understanding ourselves,
[31:35]
making constructive choices
[31:37]
and developing emotional intelligence.
[31:40]
So, um, there is a cost, it'll cost us about $4,000
[31:45]
to start it, but we applied for a grant through St.
[31:48]
James and they gave us $25,000
[31:51]
to implement it out here and in the new school.
[31:54]
So we have the money that's sitting in the
[31:57]
education foundation.
[31:58]
So with your permission, we want to be transparent
[32:02]
and um, it's the middle school principal
[32:06]
and Dylan could not say,
[32:08]
and I'm probably being a broken record,
[32:10]
I sure I should this at previous meeting,
[32:12]
but he said there were more positive things
[32:17]
that came out of it than he ever imagined.
[32:19]
He said it totally changed the
[32:20]
whole culture of their school.
[32:22]
Oh. And really opened up communication between the kids
[32:25]
and adults and then that whole spot, that plan,
[32:28]
like fun events throughout the year, um, just to
[32:33]
develop community.
[32:35]
You have a great community out here already,
[32:37]
but I think it's, No matter
[32:42]
how good you are, you can get better.
[32:43]
Yes. So, so, um, yeah,
[32:47]
we had an implementation call last week
[32:49]
and just waiting for board permission
[32:52]
and we'll write a check and get the training going
[32:55]
and kinda do a soft lunch this spring.
[33:01]
Does anybody have any questions? Yes. Mr.
[33:09]
Do I have a lunch? Good. I'll make motion.
[33:14]
Next slide. Second. Thank question. All in favor? Aye.
[33:20]
All opposed?
[33:25]
And our last item is to discuss
[33:28]
and improve required changes due two thought.
[33:32]
The first policy state is 3 6, 6 5
[33:36]
student safety.
[33:39]
Um, we
[33:44]
have hasn't been long completely approved.
[33:51]
This one probably looks familiar. It was in December.
[33:53]
Yeah, it was fifth and then the next week I got new email,
[33:57]
but there were additional request.
[34:00]
Um, I I couldn't Well yes, I could tell
[34:05]
you see what they, what they deleted.
[34:09]
Um, but when I read,
[34:14]
read it over, it basically says the same thing
[34:18]
and divorce, um,
[34:24]
about unsupervised contact with an adult
[34:28]
that has fingerprint based.
[34:32]
Um,
[34:39]
do I have a motion to approve?
[34:41]
I motion further Pause in three six tonight. Julie seat.
[34:47]
All second. All in favor? A aye all vote.
[34:54]
And the second one is 5 2 5 more.
[34:58]
Two fingerprints
[34:59]
and criminal back records in, um,
[35:06]
I began this talks about, uh,
[35:11]
protecting students from harm while they're under
[35:15]
the supervision of the district
[35:19]
and what, what is required,
[35:23]
which again is been based.
[35:29]
Um, and it lists the people
[35:34]
who are responsible to have,
[35:41]
um,
[35:47]
I effect not only are,
[35:53]
um, employees required, but so are kids.
[36:00]
Um, our approach is
[36:05]
do I have a motion to approve
[36:09]
with motion to approve policy?
[36:12]
I, one, two. Do I have second? I'll thank the motion.
[36:16]
All in favor? Aye. All opposed?
[36:22]
So we have a meeting next Tuesday.
[36:27]
Please remember that time at six o'clock. Bring your ideas.
[36:32]
Um, and then our regular meeting would be March 18.
[36:37]
Is there any discussion of not on the agenda.
[36:41]
I was just gonna notify the board.
[36:43]
Have the two open consultants coming up for election.
[36:46]
I have had two candidates filed.
[36:48]
Um, the filing deadline happen there on the ballot was on
[36:52]
Monday and those two candidates both filed
[36:54]
prior to that deadline.
[36:57]
Um, there is still an option for people
[36:59]
to apply the writing candidate up until March 2nd.
[37:03]
So, um, we'll know
[37:05]
and that passes whether we we have an election
[37:08]
or whether we have
[37:14]
on that.
[37:23]
Always be, I really try not to be.
[37:36]
It's speedy. It's weird, it was fun.
[37:41]
Like it's fun. It's good to be apart,
[37:42]
you know what's going on.
[37:45]
And if I had more time, I don't going anywhere.
[37:51]
Sometimes we just get up one.
[37:54]
Oh,
[37:59]
my kids' schedules are not to.
