[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.
