1
00:00:07,220 --> 00:00:29,920
So this is the governing board meeting of the Salt Lake Arts Academy on Monday, August 17th. And we are meeting at 5.30 here at room 201. All right. Thanks everybody for coming out for the first meeting of the year. We have a number of

2
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:36,400
potential resolutions to plot through and discuss is appropriate if there are

3
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:42,040
questions and then move to votes. I'm going to tip my hand a little bit. My

4
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:48,480
daughter is turning 21 today and she flew home from Chicago to see us. So I have

5
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:54,520
some incentives that are not perhaps aligned with a four-hour meeting, but we

6
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:55,600
can see how it develops.

7
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:02,360
So the first item on the agenda is a review and approval of minutes

8
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:09,860
from the June retreat. You'll see thanks to Deborah and no thanks to me. That we have a draft

9
00:01:09,860 --> 00:01:17,760
of those minutes that are marked pending in your packet there. I don't know if folks have

10
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:28,280
any questions, comments, or tweaks to those, but it looked accurate and up-to-date from

11
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:38,230
my perspective. So, if that looks good to folks, we would entertain a motion with respect

12
00:01:38,230 --> 00:01:38,730
to that.

13
00:01:39,070 --> 00:01:44,110
I make a motion to approve the minutes and I'll send a victory to all of the staff again.

14
00:01:44,110 --> 00:01:44,770
Okay.

15
00:01:51,390 --> 00:01:55,890
All in favor of the motion to approve the minutes as presented.

16
00:01:59,050 --> 00:02:02,190
Anybody? Nope, that's everybody. Nobody's abstaining unanimous.

17
00:02:02,650 --> 00:02:03,030
Lead carried.

18
00:02:05,710 --> 00:02:13,510
All right. The second item on the agenda is a proposal to amend the bylaws

19
00:02:13,510 --> 00:02:21,310
to reduce the minimum board size from nine to five trustees. I think we've had some

20
00:02:21,310 --> 00:02:24,470
We are looking to add folks to the board.

21
00:02:24,710 --> 00:02:32,570
We have next deafens who may come back on who had work conflicts last year but was approved

22
00:02:32,570 --> 00:02:37,570
to be on the board before he had to resign and I think there are several others.

23
00:02:37,770 --> 00:02:43,330
So I think this is my hope and thought is that this is likely a temporary situation but

24
00:02:43,330 --> 00:02:49,990
I do think it makes sense to have the bylaws aligned with where we actually are which would

25
00:02:49,990 --> 00:02:57,050
be, I think, six going into the start of this year, and then we just build up from there.

26
00:02:57,250 --> 00:02:59,130
So I think that's the goal.

27
00:02:59,330 --> 00:03:08,730
It's a very simple resolution as you'll see in the second set of resolutions, or here

28
00:03:08,730 --> 00:03:08,910
it is.

29
00:03:08,990 --> 00:03:09,070
Yeah.

30
00:03:09,310 --> 00:03:17,590
So it's the second page from the end, number of trustees, and this would be, say, it's

31
00:03:17,590 --> 00:03:24,450
change within the by-laws because it's it's a simple sentence in the by-laws. But are there any

32
00:03:24,450 --> 00:03:32,490
questions or comments on that? Yes. So then what would be a mature like a quorum? So it would

33
00:03:32,490 --> 00:03:37,990
just still just be three would be then a quorum. So does that mean like having a conversation between

34
00:03:39,110 --> 00:03:45,910
cord members at any time constitutes a quorum so that could get us into trouble? I'd have to do a

35
00:03:45,910 --> 00:03:47,650
a little bit more research on that.

36
00:03:48,650 --> 00:03:50,950
And I think that's a good question.

37
00:03:51,170 --> 00:03:52,750
It is a good question.

38
00:03:53,410 --> 00:03:56,050
I mean, I think that there are generally ways

39
00:03:56,050 --> 00:03:57,750
to avoid that.

40
00:03:57,990 --> 00:04:00,630
But I guess I just think in more ethnic training

41
00:04:00,630 --> 00:04:04,570
that that's a bit of a pretty clear delineation

42
00:04:04,570 --> 00:04:09,150
so that any time, like whoever to three on,

43
00:04:09,530 --> 00:04:11,710
you call it the executive committee,

44
00:04:12,130 --> 00:04:13,990
meet that would cost you that.

45
00:04:13,990 --> 00:04:19,710
Well, but actually but let's so let's be clear. There's so there's two different things one is the minimum number that we'd have

46
00:04:19,710 --> 00:04:21,130
Which would be five?

47
00:04:21,610 --> 00:04:27,610
But the second is what the board would be or which would be six in this case so it would be for any time we drop down

48
00:04:28,150 --> 00:04:30,150
It puts us in jeopardy

49
00:04:30,850 --> 00:04:36,070
I think oh yes, if we were to say if we were yes, no, no, it's absolutely a great question

50
00:04:36,070 --> 00:04:40,250
Yes, I think it's I think it's I think it's I'm sure you're concerned that feels like too small

51
00:04:44,310 --> 00:04:50,870
We don't have seven people that are currently scheduled to be on the board this term in less

52
00:04:50,870 --> 00:04:55,790
Nick Stephens were to say yes, and I don't think we have that.

53
00:04:55,850 --> 00:04:57,830
And to the five of us will be here.

54
00:04:58,030 --> 00:04:58,330
Claudia.

55
00:04:58,690 --> 00:04:59,110
Claudia.

56
00:04:59,290 --> 00:04:59,650
Oh, fantastic.

57
00:05:00,670 --> 00:05:02,190
That would be the expectation.

58
00:05:02,290 --> 00:05:09,310
So I think Nick would be, and I would be, well, I think I would be supportive of the idea

59
00:05:09,310 --> 00:05:16,010
As soon as we have sufficient to move back up to 7 or to 9, I think that's perfectly

60
00:05:16,010 --> 00:05:16,490
fine.

61
00:05:16,970 --> 00:05:23,130
I guess my thought was it is what it is right now in terms of the number of people that

62
00:05:23,130 --> 00:05:28,810
are in fact ready to serve on the board, and so I'm not sure where we end up if our

63
00:05:28,810 --> 00:05:33,350
bylaws conflict with what we actually have from a numerical perspective.

64
00:05:33,830 --> 00:05:48,070
That would be a concern for me, and I think, but I take the point that we want to then be cognizant of smaller groupings making decisions or something along those lines.

65
00:05:48,070 --> 00:05:51,570
Yeah, I mean it's, I can remember exactly what I said.

66
00:05:51,570 --> 00:05:57,350
Yeah, so more than somehow the total membership makes a quorum, maybe three members of five.

67
00:05:57,610 --> 00:06:00,390
Well, but in this case, we would have sex so it would be four, but yes.

68
00:06:00,390 --> 00:06:07,750
And then vacancies and even number of vacancies means a true majority of the entire authorized

69
00:06:07,750 --> 00:06:11,810
body is still required, not just for majority of currently active members.

70
00:06:13,710 --> 00:06:20,730
So if we define it as nine, we'd have to have five every meeting no matter what.

71
00:06:20,730 --> 00:06:33,210
I think the other question I had was in the bylaws, is any meeting of a quorum of

72
00:06:33,350 --> 00:06:42,810
the board, whether it's in a regular schedule meeting or a committee meeting or just at a

73
00:06:42,810 --> 00:06:46,550
the slards event, is that sufficient to act on,

74
00:06:46,630 --> 00:06:50,290
or does it have to be within this deliberative body?

75
00:06:50,630 --> 00:06:50,890
I think

76
00:06:55,050 --> 00:06:58,230
that would come to two.

77
00:06:58,230 --> 00:06:59,350
Yeah, that doesn't make it up.

78
00:06:59,610 --> 00:07:00,170
So what would it be?

79
00:07:00,350 --> 00:07:00,830
I think so.

80
00:07:06,090 --> 00:07:08,290
Because the minutes or two people have a conversation

81
00:07:08,290 --> 00:07:11,350
about that, that's how they sit or actionable.

82
00:07:12,650 --> 00:07:15,530
I served on the advisory committee for the liqueur commission,

83
00:07:15,730 --> 00:07:17,890
and that was why we avoided five.

84
00:07:19,990 --> 00:07:28,670
So, okay so let's talk it. I guess maybe we could just research that. I mean I'm looking at it right now.

85
00:07:29,110 --> 00:07:34,790
I guess I don't think we reduce our bylaws because we're looking for board members. I think we go find board members.

86
00:07:35,750 --> 00:07:47,530
What does it say? What's the ramification of having bylaws that say that we need to have nine when they're only six that are active.

87
00:07:50,010 --> 00:07:56,810
I don't know if I can define the ramification, but I guess in my mind, if I'm thinking about representation, there's four grades here.

88
00:07:57,310 --> 00:08:07,310
Two parents from each grade feels reasonable with additional people who are staying from the alumni perspective, like the history of Kelly Reigns, which is an incredibly valuable piece.

89
00:08:09,070 --> 00:08:12,690
So I guess I'm thinking about it more from a representation point of view.

90
00:08:14,310 --> 00:08:18,470
then while we happen to have this many people showing up, so let's change the

91
00:08:18,470 --> 00:08:25,370
bylaws. I think we should go find one. I think my concern is if the bylaws say

92
00:08:25,370 --> 00:08:35,290
nine we can't what we have five today. We have five today and six. It's based on

93
00:08:35,290 --> 00:08:38,010
on the core number of total.

94
00:08:38,570 --> 00:08:38,710
Yeah.

95
00:08:39,310 --> 00:08:42,450
So it is going to be the last 50% plus one.

96
00:08:44,700 --> 00:08:51,440
So I guess what I'm missing is the concept

97
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:57,980
that a vacancy doesn't do violence to the by-law

98
00:08:57,980 --> 00:08:59,180
so a requirement.

99
00:09:00,060 --> 00:09:05,400
So we have maybe six or just a, yeah, I think so.

100
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:12,040
So if we have maybe six and there are three seats unfilled, I think you're saying, can

101
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:18,940
you actually include the three vacant seats as effective board?

102
00:09:19,140 --> 00:09:19,340
Right.

103
00:09:19,460 --> 00:09:20,020
Right, exactly.

104
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,460
Or do you have to have somebody who's been elected to it, and then they're not present

105
00:09:24,460 --> 00:09:26,860
to say we have a quorum of the people by the bylaws.

106
00:09:27,980 --> 00:09:36,140
And that's, that is a, I think I'd say like that, that's me like, that makes sense.

107
00:09:36,380 --> 00:09:41,860
I absolutely understand the small board because I'm not, that makes me nervous for a lot

108
00:09:41,860 --> 00:09:42,200
of reasons.

109
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:42,580
Yeah.

110
00:09:42,580 --> 00:09:43,380
Like we discussed earlier.

111
00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:43,860
Yeah.

112
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,860
Um, we run into each other somewhere and we have one book.

113
00:09:48,100 --> 00:09:54,360
It makes, it makes activism not necessarily in the best interest of the school, a risk.

114
00:09:54,360 --> 00:10:10,380
But I agree, if the intent is to mitigate risk that we proceed with 9,

115
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:13,020
is there going

116
00:10:13,020 --> 00:10:19,180
to be another different kind of outside activist who looks at the bylaws and similar to what

117
00:10:19,180 --> 00:10:26,320
What we're going to talk about later with the UDAR settlement says, you're not following

118
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:32,580
that statute either, here's another, here's another unintended consequence for us.

119
00:10:32,580 --> 00:10:34,300
They invalidate every vote we've ever had.

120
00:10:34,340 --> 00:10:34,440
Exactly.

121
00:10:35,820 --> 00:10:42,440
And that's kind of the risk that I'm more worried about than the people currently in this room

122
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,160
and that we would most likely recruit.

123
00:10:46,500 --> 00:10:53,380
So we could also, when I pushed it, it was more like, what are these organizations like

124
00:10:53,380 --> 00:10:59,240
UDAR going to do if we don't have it right?

125
00:10:59,960 --> 00:11:06,180
Well, can we hit the middle and go for seven so that we sort of have a protected edge

126
00:11:06,180 --> 00:11:09,080
and at least hopefully have wider representation?

127
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:14,820
Well here's I guess I've got two potential responses. One on seven on

128
00:11:17,660 --> 00:11:34,880
seven we have a board member who may want to remain a board member that would get us back to seven with or without Nick Stephens.

129
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:45,880
So I can leave a spot empty though can't we? We can vote the other person off the board and their term expires

130
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:54,440
because we don't vote them back in. It does we think we have to be cool. She's staying on. No, she was on rent. She is still.

131
00:11:54,440 --> 00:12:04,240
So she's questioning whether that she wants to continue with her initial resignation.

132
00:12:05,620 --> 00:12:09,940
Which wouldn't necessarily at this point be in her hands, but I think.

133
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,280
Do we have to officially do that?

134
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,980
I mean, there's not, no, we do not.

135
00:12:19,340 --> 00:12:22,560
A resignation is effective when they say that I did that.

136
00:12:22,580 --> 00:12:23,820
Okay, it's currently on the board.

137
00:12:23,820 --> 00:12:31,100
She's currently off the board. She's sent me an email and said I was and she would like to come back

138
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:42,660
Yeah, so but I guess the the concern I would have about seven is that if we if we take it from who's

139
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:51,880
Actually on the board right now. It's six and so I don't know that seven buys us much the other thing the other possible

140
00:12:51,880 --> 00:13:00,860
answer I could or approach we might consider taking is an explicit time frame right

141
00:13:00,860 --> 00:13:05,000
there's I don't think there's any reason that we can't take a vote that says

142
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:14,920
that for you know for the next 30 days our bylaws will reflect a minimum of

143
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:22,880
six members of the board and after that 30 days it will reflect seven and then we

144
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:27,500
could take a vote at the next you know let get us to the next meeting with the

145
00:13:27,500 --> 00:13:32,460
expectation that we will find we'll confirm somebody for seven and then if

146
00:13:32,460 --> 00:13:35,820
we're in a position to go to nine at that point we could also then go to nine but

147
00:13:35,820 --> 00:13:41,380
that I guess that to me sort of tries to square the circle which is that I hear

148
00:13:41,380 --> 00:13:48,120
that discomfort in the room with like moving down to five on a permanent basis or without

149
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:55,520
a possible kind of fix to that that's like dialed in. I mean I think we can we can make

150
00:13:55,520 --> 00:14:02,400
a motion as we wish and so that to me it's not

151
00:14:04,450 --> 00:14:06,690
there's nothing there's nothing wrong with

152
00:14:06,690 --> 00:14:12,710
that. I think if we if we had nine people right now that were on the board I mean or yeah

153
00:14:12,710 --> 00:14:16,370
we had nine people that were on the board and we have a minimum of nine and then we have somebody

154
00:14:16,370 --> 00:14:23,490
resigned. That to me is different than constituting a board where our of six of six where our

155
00:14:23,490 --> 00:14:29,210
bylaws say we have to have not. I just don't know like I don't know what it like we're not in we're

156
00:14:29,210 --> 00:14:34,950
not in conformity with our bylaws at that point and I don't it that's not quite the same as being

157
00:14:34,950 --> 00:14:42,470
out of statutory compliance but it then raises some other questions about like well what did you do

158
00:14:42,470 --> 00:14:51,470
So when you want any compliance with your bylaws or something like that, that's where

159
00:14:51,470 --> 00:14:59,570
my discomfort came in and this was my thought to rectify that, which is let's make it

160
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:29,720
Other, this is a minimum, not a, not, we're not capped. We could have 21 and still have these exact same bylaws other than this. But we, but I get, but I'm uncomfortable on this other side of like, look, we have a board that we're constituting that's going to be six members. And the bylaws say we have to have nine. What are the ramifications that I haven't, I, I, I honestly, I just made me really uncomfortable. And I thought this would be a reasonable approach, but I take the feedback.

161
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:37,580
We make a motion, we change our bylaws knowing that next month, the month after, we would hope to go.

162
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,120
Well, we can do it with a hope.

163
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:40,700
Well, we don't have to say that.

164
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:41,220
Right.

165
00:15:41,380 --> 00:15:49,860
But we know that in this meeting, and in two months, someone comes forward with a motion with a vote expected on our agenda, and we change it.

166
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:54,500
Or the motion now could be a sequence of things, right?

167
00:15:54,500 --> 00:16:01,080
Like you can have your, you can say that your bylaws are going to be amended in the future and so we can hardwire it in that

168
00:16:02,780 --> 00:16:07,200
Yeah, exactly that like in light of the fact that we have six members who are serving

169
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:17,400
We are amending our bylaws for 45 days to reflect a minimum board constitution of four of six people at the end of that 45 days

170
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,500
The bylaws are automatically without further

171
00:16:22,500 --> 00:16:28,740
vote amended to reflect a minimum of seven and then I love that yeah like it

172
00:16:28,740 --> 00:16:33,880
gets to work legal concerned yes you dug off of our changes at least for

173
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:38,240
this meeting as well yeah it would be instantaneous well how many I mean so

174
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:45,240
when we have nine members we need four plus so five to make a quorum yeah that's

175
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:51,400
all it's something that requires a two-thirds vote because it says the

176
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,520
I'm filled seats as long as it still meets its quorum requirement.

177
00:16:54,900 --> 00:16:54,920
Right?

178
00:16:55,780 --> 00:16:56,200
Right?

179
00:16:56,380 --> 00:16:57,000
Which we can.

180
00:16:57,220 --> 00:16:59,500
But what we want to do is shrink it for a moment.

181
00:16:59,500 --> 00:17:00,360
For that two thirds, yeah.

182
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:01,160
Yeah?

183
00:17:01,420 --> 00:17:04,920
And then you've built in accountability by putting it in for the rest of your meeting.

184
00:17:05,220 --> 00:17:05,240
Yeah.

185
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:06,300
You know they answer.

186
00:17:06,360 --> 00:17:09,780
And it's a map for future.

187
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:10,000
Yeah.

188
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:11,400
Just 45 days.

189
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,200
Like this is through our next meeting.

190
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:14,500
That gets us through our next meeting.

191
00:17:14,620 --> 00:17:14,800
Yeah.

192
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:20,660
And I think at that point we'll know about Nick, which would presumably get us back to seven

193
00:17:20,660 --> 00:17:24,180
we possibly have a retreat. It's not the fun.

194
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,180
Yes, yes, not baking out of somebody's patio.

195
00:17:30,420 --> 00:17:32,900
It's so show. It's so show.

196
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:41,540
So then I think this this

197
00:17:44,420 --> 00:17:49,940
vote then is going to be a little

198
00:17:49,940 --> 00:17:57,080
bit different. So that, I think that motion is kind of what I outlined. Is there, is

199
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,220
somebody willing to put forward that? Oh, yes, of course.

200
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,280
Do we feel,

201
00:18:07,590 --> 00:18:14,430
since this kind of decision requires two-thirds of the vote, about two-third more

202
00:18:14,430 --> 00:18:24,110
vote required, but this is something that we can enact with our five person, that six board.

203
00:18:25,130 --> 00:18:35,510
It's a fair question. I think the number of people who are on the board right now is six.

204
00:18:35,510 --> 00:18:47,110
So I think we need four votes to accomplish that, but I take the point, and I don't necessarily have a dispositive answer.

205
00:18:47,690 --> 00:18:48,290
I do feel I

206
00:18:51,430 --> 00:18:51,670
see.

207
00:18:51,870 --> 00:18:53,390
I think we should just...

208
00:18:54,550 --> 00:18:56,310
We've noted many of our concerns.

209
00:18:56,530 --> 00:19:06,570
I think in order to be able to actually be a functional board for the first two months of school, we might need to just dive in and do it.

210
00:19:07,470 --> 00:19:13,210
Do you want me to have an emotion that please make a motion that we revise our current

211
00:19:13,210 --> 00:19:20,310
file laws to reduce the size of our board to six members with the provision that this

212
00:19:20,310 --> 00:19:25,470
is for a 45 day time limit at which point the membership will increase to seven.

213
00:19:26,890 --> 00:19:32,530
And just a bit of clarity a minimum it was all it was all for just a minimum yeah and

214
00:19:32,530 --> 00:19:34,590
Okay, and do we hear a second?

215
00:19:35,430 --> 00:19:36,510
I'll second it.

216
00:19:36,790 --> 00:19:37,030
Second.

217
00:19:37,910 --> 00:19:38,550
Second, put

218
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:46,100
note.

219
00:19:48,550 --> 00:19:50,830
All those in favor of that motion?

220
00:19:55,450 --> 00:19:56,290
Is unanimous?

221
00:19:56,410 --> 00:19:57,190
The motion is passed.

222
00:20:02,860 --> 00:20:09,840
Okay, the next item is somewhat related, I think, in my mind.

223
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:16,900
We've had historically this 30-day nominee posting requirement under the bylaws with respect

224
00:20:16,900 --> 00:20:19,540
to potential new members of the board.

225
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:27,760
I have thought of it generally as just a trap for the unwary, not like something that

226
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:35,040
actually, I am not familiar with anybody in our community who has like taken the opportunity

227
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:36,680
to raise issues or otherwise.

228
00:20:37,860 --> 00:20:45,080
I also think in light of this particular next set of steps that it would be convenient

229
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:50,540
And not to have to post for 30 days, in this particular instance, if nothing else.

230
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,760
Are folks comfortable with that?

231
00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:01,080
Do they think that they see other traps that I'm not that this is a?

232
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:09,220
This is something that is part of most board by-laws for schools.

233
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:10,360
Good question.

234
00:21:10,500 --> 00:21:11,640
I do not know the answer for them.

235
00:21:12,420 --> 00:21:13,800
Where did we get it from?

236
00:21:15,180 --> 00:21:19,600
It's just been in our historical bylaws, possibly from 2001.

237
00:21:22,890 --> 00:21:37,250
And I think there are a lot of kind of learning process as Katie stepped back and we are

238
00:21:37,250 --> 00:21:39,310
working through some things along those lines.

239
00:21:39,310 --> 00:21:48,930
I think when we had somebody who sort of ran point over the course of years, over kind

240
00:21:48,930 --> 00:21:53,910
of the board constitution, including sort of dedicated recruitment and various other

241
00:21:53,910 --> 00:21:59,810
things, I think this functioned or was a little bit more manageable.

242
00:21:59,810 --> 00:22:09,210
I think with turnover in the board, but then also just the fact that we're trying

243
00:22:09,210 --> 00:22:13,530
to manage our own stuff, I think that this has been more problematic or challenging.

244
00:22:14,430 --> 00:22:22,470
It doesn't necessarily mean it's terrible, but I think my own view is that it is not worth

245
00:22:22,470 --> 00:22:25,710
the requirement in the bylaws.

246
00:22:25,710 --> 00:22:44,870
We could certainly put it make it part of a handbook that as a best practice we would like to do this or something like that, but again, I come back to the idea that I'd hate to have it be that have it go down contrary to our bylaws in a way that then raised issues about whether the efficacy of the appointment or something like that.

247
00:22:48,470 --> 00:22:48,950
I

248
00:22:59,380 --> 00:23:05,700
mean, I think it's just one of those like probably out layer cases where maybe you

249
00:23:05,700 --> 00:23:13,680
post it and another parent or a disease and it's like, oh, by the way, that's a sex

250
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:14,040
offender.

251
00:23:14,340 --> 00:23:15,300
I don't know, you know?

252
00:23:15,820 --> 00:23:16,000
Yeah.

253
00:23:18,260 --> 00:23:18,900
That's true.

254
00:23:19,900 --> 00:23:25,640
And we do have a clear ability as a border to remove anybody at any time for no reason.

255
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,540
So that is kind of a...

256
00:23:27,540 --> 00:23:28,540
I felt like that didn't work.

257
00:23:31,140 --> 00:23:31,740
Yep.

258
00:23:32,180 --> 00:23:33,380
I hear you.

259
00:23:33,940 --> 00:23:39,520
But I do think it would be different in the context that was partially difficult because

260
00:23:40,360 --> 00:23:46,600
of an ongoing litigation element that I think somebody who otherwise is just looking

261
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:51,780
to join the board would not be a consideration and therefore there would be social considerations

262
00:23:51,780 --> 00:23:56,880
like there would be like I'm not saying that it would be costless. I'm also not saying I'm not sure

263
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:05,780
that it would be manifestly different to have posted them and nominated them effectively

264
00:24:05,780 --> 00:24:10,280
from a board perspective and then attract that at least from an interpersonal dynamic.

265
00:24:22,470 --> 00:24:23,070
But

266
00:24:23,070 --> 00:24:25,270
I mean, if we're doing any kind of...

267
00:24:25,270 --> 00:24:25,670
Absolutely.

268
00:24:26,150 --> 00:24:26,470
By law.

269
00:24:26,550 --> 00:24:27,670
Oh wait, I got it.

270
00:24:27,970 --> 00:24:28,730
Okay, can we do that?

271
00:24:29,230 --> 00:24:29,630
Yeah.

272
00:24:29,870 --> 00:24:30,210
Yeah.

273
00:24:30,870 --> 00:24:31,430
I mean, I...

274
00:24:31,430 --> 00:24:32,170
There wasn't notice.

275
00:24:32,450 --> 00:24:33,630
We can't do it at this meeting.

276
00:24:34,010 --> 00:24:34,150
Okay.

277
00:24:34,230 --> 00:24:34,650
I don't think...

278
00:24:34,650 --> 00:24:35,510
I don't think we can do it.

279
00:24:35,850 --> 00:24:36,690
Yeah, absolutely.

280
00:24:37,270 --> 00:24:38,050
Yes, absolutely.

281
00:24:38,850 --> 00:24:39,250
Absolutely.

282
00:24:39,710 --> 00:24:39,870
Yeah.

283
00:24:40,290 --> 00:24:40,470
Okay.

284
00:24:40,790 --> 00:24:41,470
Thousand percent.

285
00:24:42,830 --> 00:24:44,310
Another thing that I think,

286
00:24:46,690 --> 00:24:52,310
I think, another level of uncomfortableness with two people

287
00:24:52,310 --> 00:24:55,190
in a mutual relationship also being on the board.

288
00:24:56,050 --> 00:24:57,770
Oh, yeah, also a thousand percent.

289
00:24:58,330 --> 00:25:00,050
Okay, so for, yeah.

290
00:25:05,870 --> 00:25:12,550
Do we need a school dinosaur, just to be rare Utah?

291
00:25:15,250 --> 00:25:17,150
Masked rights, besides the kids.

292
00:25:17,570 --> 00:25:23,350
So they would still be posted, the new person would still be posted on the agenda 24 hours

293
00:25:23,350 --> 00:25:23,830
in advance.

294
00:25:23,990 --> 00:25:28,610
If people are engaged enough to read our agenda, they'll be like, oh, hmm, maybe I'll

295
00:25:28,610 --> 00:25:30,830
get a hold of the board president and voice my concern.

296
00:25:31,110 --> 00:25:31,230
Sure.

297
00:25:31,710 --> 00:25:39,110
And as I say, we could also just as a board from a policy perspective, look to do a longer

298
00:25:39,110 --> 00:25:40,390
period, like whatever else.

299
00:25:40,510 --> 00:25:46,650
Again, it's just I come back to the idea that like I don't like setting ourselves up against

300
00:25:46,650 --> 00:25:53,610
in contrast to what the bylaws are looking to do. On that basis does anybody have a motion

301
00:25:53,610 --> 00:26:00,970
with respect to amending the bylaws to remove the requirement under the bylaws of a 30-day

302
00:26:00,970 --> 00:26:11,210
nominee posting requirement? Thank you. Do I hear a second? I'll second that motion.

303
00:26:16,710 --> 00:26:17,830
All those in

304
00:26:17,830 --> 00:26:23,870
In favor of the motion to amend our bylaws to remove the 30-day nominee posting requirement,

305
00:26:24,350 --> 00:26:25,110
passes unanimously.

306
00:26:25,530 --> 00:26:25,790
Thank you.

307
00:26:28,660 --> 00:26:38,000
And I have taken a note for review on bylaws is probably the right place, but just an evaluation

308
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:46,460
of how best to reflect some lessons from this past year into our and hard code that in a way

309
00:26:58,260 --> 00:27:06,380
The next item on the agenda is an election of the board members for the 2026-2027 year.

310
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:19,380
The slate would be Chantal, myself, Kelly, Amy, Reed, and Claudia, who is obviously

311
00:27:19,380 --> 00:27:26,940
here, not here tonight, but that is the proposed slate of members of the board.

312
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:34,280
Do I hear a motion with respect to those six named individuals with respect to the board?

313
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:47,220
So moved. Do we hear a second? A second. All those in favor of the ratification of the members

314
00:27:47,220 --> 00:27:50,420
of the board as constituted for the coming year.

315
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,260
Okay, that was unanimous. Thank you.

316
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,440
Well, there is that for a lot of things for standing in Canada.

317
00:28:07,140 --> 00:28:07,960
Yes, thank you, Kelly.

318
00:28:08,360 --> 00:28:08,560
Yeah.

319
00:28:09,180 --> 00:28:09,660
Yeah.

320
00:28:10,580 --> 00:28:14,400
It's about to expense a branding car for you as a part of you.

321
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:15,940
Okay.

322
00:28:18,060 --> 00:28:19,020
More fundraising.

323
00:28:19,580 --> 00:28:20,640
Send back that candle.

324
00:28:21,060 --> 00:28:21,640
This one.

325
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:29,400
But the next item on the agenda is, would be for the officers of the board.

326
00:28:30,940 --> 00:28:38,960
The proposed officers would be read as chair, myself as secretary, and Chantelle as treasurer.

327
00:28:40,340 --> 00:28:46,880
Happy to entertain discussion if there is any, otherwise we could move to a motion with respect

328
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:47,260
to that.

329
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:55,260
I met to approve the leadership as noted for the 26th, 27th school year.

330
00:28:56,300 --> 00:28:57,660
Okay, do I hear a second of that?

331
00:28:58,540 --> 00:29:01,520
It might be ideal if it was not somebody who was on that slide.

332
00:29:02,940 --> 00:29:04,380
Well, that would be...

333
00:29:05,260 --> 00:29:05,620
Yay!

334
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:09,180
Yeah, speaking of soap.

335
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:10,880
And Amy, do you, uh, do you still move?

336
00:29:11,260 --> 00:29:13,020
Oh, wait, I was in high secondings.

337
00:29:13,060 --> 00:29:14,460
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

338
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:15,400
Okay, thank you.

339
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:19,800
my cute hand. Yeah it was it was it was it was it was not captured in our

340
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:25,200
reporter. Comparing the hand gesture. There we go. There we go. Which is a nice

341
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,380
hand gesture. Yes yes it is. Let's make sure.

342
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:37,460
Alright all in favor of that slate it is unanimous and we are approved. And with

343
00:29:37,460 --> 00:29:43,480
that, that is my cue to turn things over to our new chair.

344
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,600
very exciting. Thank you.

345
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,400
I'm so looking forward to the work that we're going to do this year has

346
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:53,740
group.

347
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,840
So many agenda items. All right, numbers.

348
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:11,100
Kevin, the resolution to appoint the Chief Academic Officer, Principal and Business Administrator. Debra? Oh, I was going to rest up next.

349
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:31,360
Debra and Nicole layered as Business Administrator, consistent with our bylaws. And now that I'm no longer the chair, I can move like nobody's business. I move that we appoint Debra Candler as our Chief Administrative Officer slash Principal. And Nicole layered

350
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,000
as our business administrator for the coming year.

351
00:30:35,220 --> 00:30:37,120
Thanks, do we have somebody to second that?

352
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:38,840
Thank you guys.

353
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:40,040
Shantel Kelly.

354
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:40,900
Shantel.

355
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:41,480
All right.

356
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:43,360
Okay.

357
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,080
So then you want, yeah, you can, yeah.

358
00:30:48,580 --> 00:30:49,880
Who's your official language?

359
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:51,580
No, no.

360
00:30:51,940 --> 00:30:53,040
You're good with what, right?

361
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:53,280
All right.

362
00:30:56,010 --> 00:31:00,930
Can we get a vote on who supports resolutions in a second?

363
00:31:08,730 --> 00:31:17,070
Okay, another discussion, especially it's kind of important with the board being in flux

364
00:31:17,070 --> 00:31:20,750
is to officially adopt a resolution that authorizes electronic meetings.

365
00:31:21,710 --> 00:31:27,810
We talked about it, we think it's possible, but again we didn't have hard-coded, so that's

366
00:31:27,810 --> 00:31:29,590
the purpose for this.

367
00:31:29,590 --> 00:31:39,150
So since Stela does require us to have a formally adopted resolution with a trustee participating

368
00:31:39,150 --> 00:31:41,910
remotely, we need to do that.

369
00:31:44,970 --> 00:31:46,950
So there is.

370
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:53,450
It's the first one of the resolutions in the resolution packet, it's 2026 stash 3.

371
00:31:53,450 --> 00:31:54,650
I'm sure they were all minimal.

372
00:31:54,650 --> 00:31:59,710
No, no, there is that is not any sort of implied item.

373
00:31:59,970 --> 00:32:01,290
There it is.

374
00:32:04,410 --> 00:32:15,290
So resolution 2026-3 lays out the language for the bylaw as well as the rules that we would

375
00:32:15,290 --> 00:32:20,030
need to follow in order for there to be participation, especially when there's voting occurring.

376
00:32:23,450 --> 00:32:24,970
Does anyone need time to review this?

377
00:32:25,330 --> 00:32:26,030
I don't know.

378
00:32:26,170 --> 00:32:31,170
It is the third or third female.

379
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:37,600
I should have taken a minute.

380
00:32:37,780 --> 00:32:40,180
For someone who has no voice, you should be all alone.

381
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:46,160
And for reference, this one was just a copy

382
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:50,760
from one that was provided by our, the attorney that we

383
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:51,920
for perfect shadow with.

384
00:32:52,220 --> 00:32:54,960
So I think it should meet statutory items.

385
00:32:54,960 --> 00:33:16,160
and I think the one note is just kind of that anchor location, I think it's, it means that we should always have a physical meeting location for folks, anybody else who has technological limitations or otherwise to be able to come and be part in such meetings, but that allows for others to be remote.

386
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:22,860
Well, and you know what, that might help us get, I almost think that we should promote

387
00:33:22,860 --> 00:33:28,040
that piece potentially because there might be people who go, I would love to participate,

388
00:33:28,300 --> 00:33:31,020
but I can't always be there in person.

389
00:33:32,300 --> 00:33:39,560
That we might have some really valuable parents that are like, there's a lot I can do, but

390
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:40,540
I can't be at these meetings.

391
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:41,340
I don't know.

392
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:48,380
Yeah, it is, it is a modern convenience and expectation.

393
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:50,660
It's almost like a hybrid meeting you're saying.

394
00:33:50,820 --> 00:33:55,760
Yeah, because of the lead to health hybrid, we have families who've come from as far north

395
00:33:55,760 --> 00:34:01,300
as far north as far west as West Jordan, and I don't remember how far south that was.

396
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:03,140
I told Valley.

397
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:09,580
And we have, yeah, so, I mean, I wouldn't drive my kid home and then drive back through traffic

398
00:34:09,580 --> 00:34:10,160
on 15.

399
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:15,200
So it might, I mean, I would maybe think of how I want to word it, but I think it would

400
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:20,660
be really, it might be who us to share, hey, we're now going to be running our board meetings

401
00:34:20,660 --> 00:34:21,720
hybrid style.

402
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:26,540
So if you've always wanted to be a member or, you know, you're the wordsmith, I mean, I'm

403
00:34:26,540 --> 00:34:26,620
done.

404
00:34:26,740 --> 00:34:27,100
I'm more interested.

405
00:34:28,100 --> 00:34:28,280
Yeah.

406
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:28,680
Good.

407
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:29,900
I think.

408
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,720
Or if you have a little face.

409
00:34:34,860 --> 00:34:35,200
Oh.

410
00:34:35,380 --> 00:34:35,400
Yeah.

411
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:36,580
That came up pretty frequently.

412
00:34:36,820 --> 00:34:37,500
It was last couple of years.

413
00:34:37,580 --> 00:34:37,780
Yes.

414
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:38,680
Yeah.

415
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:43,000
Yeah, and then could you provide us a new question?

416
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:47,140
You can't participate unless you've requested to speak and you're on the agenda.

417
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:47,580
Yeah.

418
00:34:47,580 --> 00:34:49,140
So you can log in and listen.

419
00:34:49,380 --> 00:34:53,860
Like, because I used to do that during COVID, I would log into the board meetings for Salt

420
00:34:53,860 --> 00:34:54,520
Exeter School District.

421
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:55,400
I don't know.

422
00:34:55,900 --> 00:34:57,360
Are you guys going to put our kids back?

423
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:58,380
Are you keeping them out?

424
00:34:58,600 --> 00:34:59,820
Like, it was important to listen.

425
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,200
Well, you don't get to participate, but you can watch.

426
00:35:03,100 --> 00:35:03,400
Yeah.

427
00:35:03,660 --> 00:35:06,680
I mean, that's clear in our rules.

428
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:10,600
that you have to request to purchase a pin.

429
00:35:11,180 --> 00:35:12,300
So the question is, like-

430
00:35:12,300 --> 00:35:13,980
Right, so you could log in to-

431
00:35:13,980 --> 00:35:16,060
So would we expect that another outcome would be-

432
00:35:16,060 --> 00:35:20,490
I don't see this happening because again,

433
00:35:20,730 --> 00:35:23,270
we could probably count the number of times someone visited

434
00:35:23,270 --> 00:35:26,370
our board page on my hand.

435
00:35:28,450 --> 00:35:30,970
But it's something to think about, right?

436
00:35:31,710 --> 00:35:34,990
But I don't, I think the downside is not even close enough.

437
00:35:35,410 --> 00:35:37,210
What doesn't mean we may have to be on our-

438
00:35:37,210 --> 00:35:39,450
You don't all have to be on video, it can be just audio.

439
00:35:40,030 --> 00:35:42,790
Okay, then what can be stolen, but you don't?

440
00:35:44,210 --> 00:35:51,070
Yeah, I think this is an optionality that gives us this.

441
00:35:51,210 --> 00:35:57,070
I think there's some practical considerations, because I think we'll want to think about what

442
00:35:57,070 --> 00:36:04,830
the best platform is and what the controls are that we can have for circumstances.

443
00:36:07,490 --> 00:36:34,810
But I think it's, I think it's, it's just, it's 2026 and I think we just had a lot of circumstances where it was very stressful from a chair perspective to be like, oh, I really can't blame you, your kid is sick or, you know, whatever came up but like, because we can't easily do this or, you know, then, then it means that it takes you out of the equation and, you know, so I, I, that and I, and just well, well, I've got the flow.

444
00:36:34,810 --> 00:36:39,970
for just a half moment. There's two different things here. This is the first one is this standalone

445
00:36:39,970 --> 00:36:50,510
resolution, right, which is I think an appropriate way of putting it into the record. But then I thought

446
00:36:50,510 --> 00:36:55,950
that it was beneficial to memorialize the fact that we have in fact done this by putting it also into

447
00:36:55,950 --> 00:37:02,150
our bylaws so that future boards, even just looking at our bylaws, would have the exact same template

448
00:37:02,150 --> 00:37:08,510
going forward. So that's why there's there would be two succeeding kind of motions here with

449
00:37:08,510 --> 00:37:14,710
respect to that just for to answer that one before it comes up. But but I do think there's you know

450
00:37:14,710 --> 00:37:23,250
some practical work is to like that's platform how we do this but I think that it just this just

451
00:37:23,250 --> 00:37:29,550
gives us the comfort that like if we want to and we we have the right path forward we can just

452
00:37:33,550 --> 00:37:37,390
Any more questions or discussions after that?

453
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:45,680
So I have a motion, I think that it's somewhat important in this particular instance that

454
00:37:46,350 --> 00:37:49,660
it tracks to what's been provided to everybody.

455
00:37:50,060 --> 00:37:58,340
So I would move that we adopt the resolution 2026-03 as presented to the board in its entirety.

456
00:37:59,820 --> 00:38:06,240
for, yeah, I move that we've approved that resolution as written.

457
00:38:10,260 --> 00:38:11,180
Second,

458
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,220
and support.

459
00:38:20,740 --> 00:38:22,640
That's all unanimous

460
00:38:27,470 --> 00:38:29,650
in the follow-up.

461
00:38:30,210 --> 00:38:34,570
So then I would make a follow-in motion to amend our bylaws

462
00:38:34,570 --> 00:38:45,550
as set forth in resolution number 2026-04 in our packets to memorialize our

463
00:38:45,550 --> 00:38:48,690
adoption of that immediately prior resolution.

464
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:57,040
The board may can be in

465
00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:03,250
conduct meetings like that. I am making a motion to adopt this into our

466
00:39:03,250 --> 00:39:04,470
laws as written here?

467
00:39:04,710 --> 00:39:05,430
On all second?

468
00:39:05,730 --> 00:39:06,390
Kelly will second.

469
00:39:07,670 --> 00:39:08,870
Oh, who's porch?

470
00:39:09,950 --> 00:39:12,090
I'm reading the bylaws, that's unanimous.

471
00:39:32,610 --> 00:39:34,190
Is it best to just read this?

472
00:39:34,830 --> 00:39:35,830
It's going to enter the court.

473
00:39:36,050 --> 00:39:38,470
Oh, you know, I think from an agenda perspective,

474
00:39:39,190 --> 00:39:41,610
we're going to run through the principal's report first,

475
00:39:41,910 --> 00:39:43,450
for it's worth, and then the finance report,

476
00:39:43,570 --> 00:39:45,210
and then do that one.

477
00:39:45,970 --> 00:39:46,710
Oh, that one?

478
00:39:46,870 --> 00:39:48,190
Because I didn't think they needed summaries.

479
00:39:48,330 --> 00:39:48,510
Sorry.

480
00:39:48,830 --> 00:39:49,950
That plain language piece.

481
00:39:49,950 --> 00:39:51,630
So it's just in terms of the agenda itself.

482
00:39:51,630 --> 00:39:55,370
Well, of course, I'm new to this one.

483
00:39:55,650 --> 00:39:56,130
I'm new to this one.

484
00:39:56,770 --> 00:39:58,310
It's only going to go up here.

485
00:39:59,110 --> 00:40:00,610
It is a family family.

486
00:40:00,990 --> 00:40:01,770
It's only going to go up here.

487
00:40:01,830 --> 00:40:02,370
These are good things.

488
00:40:03,030 --> 00:40:03,690
All right.

489
00:40:03,730 --> 00:40:04,470
You're glow up.

490
00:40:04,710 --> 00:40:06,410
I don't know if you saw it out there.

491
00:40:06,930 --> 00:40:08,190
But I mean, is it glow?

492
00:40:08,410 --> 00:40:10,410
I mean, glow number.

493
00:40:10,570 --> 00:40:10,870
What?

494
00:40:11,150 --> 00:40:11,970
It is so blown up.

495
00:40:12,050 --> 00:40:14,290
It's a homeless guy with a really cool kite.

496
00:40:14,490 --> 00:40:20,770
It was asking the construction guys they could help him wrap his rope around his cool kite.

497
00:40:20,770 --> 00:40:22,510
And they did.

498
00:40:22,730 --> 00:40:23,590
So they're good.

499
00:40:23,670 --> 00:40:25,650
No, it's super.

500
00:40:25,930 --> 00:40:28,790
So it's going to be great.

501
00:40:29,550 --> 00:40:31,090
It would be done on time.

502
00:40:31,250 --> 00:40:32,910
But I have to blame that on blue stakes.

503
00:40:33,150 --> 00:40:36,270
Blue stakes, if you're listening, your employees are not great.

504
00:40:37,110 --> 00:40:41,530
It took them take three to actually get the job done.

505
00:40:41,550 --> 00:40:41,810
I know.

506
00:40:44,470 --> 00:40:46,690
In fact, one watched me walk in.

507
00:40:46,750 --> 00:40:48,410
I was like, let me know if you need anything.

508
00:40:49,570 --> 00:40:55,690
The first two times, the second time I went to a parking lot,

509
00:40:58,330 --> 00:41:00,510
and then we took a picture

510
00:41:00,510 --> 00:41:04,230
and said, so does that mean this doesn't have anything?

511
00:41:04,510 --> 00:41:08,550
They said, oh no, there's stuff there, and it's like taking the first time.

512
00:41:08,630 --> 00:41:12,390
It's going to be easier to move where it is going to be because then we need it.

513
00:41:15,390 --> 00:41:18,730
So it's a few days behind schedule, but you know what?

514
00:41:18,730 --> 00:41:25,070
it's going to be so amazing. So that's the glow-up. We also added more

515
00:41:25,070 --> 00:41:29,230
poles for the hammocks because we realized that the tie-up system on the

516
00:41:30,470 --> 00:41:36,050
tree's chest wasn't enough for middle school. You guys want to test it? I think

517
00:41:36,050 --> 00:41:42,750
we could make money testing durability. Like the classic Samson I commercial with

518
00:41:42,750 --> 00:41:47,450
Um, I think that we could really, there's a very good line of teenagers for them.

519
00:41:48,410 --> 00:41:52,790
Um, and then I just want to say like, I think our faculty retreat, you guys went really

520
00:41:52,790 --> 00:41:53,050
well.

521
00:41:53,150 --> 00:41:58,350
We've hired two new staff and I just, it was really nice to see how our teachers come together

522
00:41:58,350 --> 00:42:03,750
and just really support each other and the sharing and I think we were really fabulous.

523
00:42:04,430 --> 00:42:04,970
Who did we know?

524
00:42:05,850 --> 00:42:09,470
Well, we hired, um, we replaced because we had cake Todd.

525
00:42:09,770 --> 00:42:12,030
She decided I don't want to teach him.

526
00:42:12,030 --> 00:42:21,730
So she's left teaching some for us a bit, but so we interviewed and we had so many great candidates that we decided to go ahead and hire two.

527
00:42:23,710 --> 00:42:37,550
So we can anticipate there's going to be some attrition in the next year or so and it was worth it for us to be able to lighten the load of a couple of teachers who are having to teach all four grade levels in humanities.

528
00:42:37,550 --> 00:42:41,250
so who did we hire? So we hired Heather.

529
00:42:41,970 --> 00:42:43,030
Didn't you put it in?

530
00:42:43,490 --> 00:42:47,390
It was the Heather Blakely and Deanna Sarmento.

531
00:42:47,750 --> 00:42:49,570
So yeah, fully six.

532
00:42:50,090 --> 00:42:52,070
Yeah, both were focused on five, six.

533
00:42:52,270 --> 00:42:55,010
So now we have four for seven, eight, four for five, six,

534
00:42:55,010 --> 00:42:59,750
which has really, if we just had more classrooms,

535
00:43:00,390 --> 00:43:01,770
it would just make everything better.

536
00:43:02,090 --> 00:43:02,930
But it's alright.

537
00:43:05,150 --> 00:43:07,430
We're like a big family that shares rooms.

538
00:43:07,430 --> 00:43:13,470
You know share room with your sister so yeah, it's really lovely, but it was nice

539
00:43:21,570 --> 00:43:22,730
So anyway

540
00:43:59,210 --> 00:44:02,150
I feel like we have the only you inside our building.

541
00:44:03,410 --> 00:44:05,210
I haven't had to pay for this.

542
00:44:10,300 --> 00:44:12,540
Is this going to give a brief finance report?

543
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:13,020
Yeah.

544
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:14,680
Because I don't have a voice.

545
00:44:16,720 --> 00:44:17,760
Nothing unexpected.

546
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,960
We've only had expenditures that we've already voted on.

547
00:44:22,220 --> 00:44:25,080
We have our classroom.

548
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:26,260
We're here.

549
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:27,460
Can you just throw the waitress?

550
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,580
I'm not sure that we voted on, that's coming in right now too.

551
00:44:32,340 --> 00:44:37,200
So this is current state, we'll have more for you guys next month.

552
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:43,800
But if you have any questions, just email me and I will post these right now, they're

553
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:44,620
just in the finance.

554
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,940
I'll probably put the board fuller as well.

555
00:44:49,940 --> 00:44:50,780
And that's what I've got.

556
00:44:50,940 --> 00:44:51,840
Must people have questions?

557
00:44:53,710 --> 00:44:54,830
And sorry, I know it's not.

558
00:44:54,830 --> 00:44:54,850
Oh,

559
00:44:57,130 --> 00:44:59,890
I'm just sorry you're not feeling good, but...

560
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:17,740
Thank you. Okay. Oh, and the audit went quite well. Oh, yeah. Of course, we don't know until November, but everything looks pretty good. There was a new thing they asked for.

561
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:28,940
It won't be a finding. It'll just be about the matter. Anyway, it's looking good.

562
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:34,600
Certified last year, numbers, everything is done.

563
00:45:38,830 --> 00:45:40,130
Yeah, from regulations.

564
00:45:40,890 --> 00:45:49,960
Is the new requirement a result of legislation that came out of last year's...

565
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:54,460
I think sometimes there are things that are adopted that aren't very well communicated,

566
00:45:55,420 --> 00:46:00,380
but they have in the audit guidelines there's what's called chapter three and they updated

567
00:46:00,380 --> 00:46:01,080
every year.

568
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:07,380
And it looks at different things, so like we've never been asked about, well, not every year

569
00:46:07,380 --> 00:46:10,500
They don't ask about, like, parent bullying and things,

570
00:46:10,660 --> 00:46:12,120
but they did ask about that for this year.

571
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,420
One of the things they had was that the staff

572
00:46:15,420 --> 00:46:17,900
was signing the code of conduct every year.

573
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:19,820
We've talked about it,

574
00:46:20,260 --> 00:46:23,000
but we've only had them sign it on their first year.

575
00:46:23,540 --> 00:46:25,900
So now we will adopt that they sign it yearly.

576
00:46:28,750 --> 00:46:29,110
For the kids?

577
00:46:29,490 --> 00:46:30,450
For the teachers.

578
00:46:30,750 --> 00:46:31,710
For the teachers and staff.

579
00:46:32,130 --> 00:46:32,350
They're good.

580
00:46:32,790 --> 00:46:33,150
That's correct.

581
00:46:33,390 --> 00:46:34,050
So that's one question.

582
00:46:34,710 --> 00:46:36,710
All of our cents make sense to me,

583
00:46:36,710 --> 00:46:42,750
the transportation one that I'm assuming is at 62% because we paid for T-Town's transportation or something.

584
00:46:42,750 --> 00:46:45,570
No, because we paid for the UTA.

585
00:46:45,570 --> 00:46:46,310
UTA passes.

586
00:46:46,610 --> 00:46:47,390
Oh, the UTA passes.

587
00:46:47,590 --> 00:46:47,710
Okay.

588
00:46:48,210 --> 00:46:54,270
I just, the 552% feels a little anxiety-provoking on where total school expenditures.

589
00:46:54,790 --> 00:46:55,790
So that's what you're saying?

590
00:46:55,950 --> 00:46:59,590
We have 552% of what should be left.

591
00:47:00,070 --> 00:47:02,470
So we have more because we haven't spent enough.

592
00:47:02,710 --> 00:47:02,910
Okay.

593
00:47:02,910 --> 00:47:06,750
It's just because it's under the percent used problem. And so I think that's what I was confused.

594
00:47:07,390 --> 00:47:10,610
Right, but that is the, but it's in the revenues, the net revenues.

595
00:47:11,210 --> 00:47:12,630
So it's left over at the end.

596
00:47:13,010 --> 00:47:14,470
So this is a good number, not a bad number.

597
00:47:14,550 --> 00:47:15,390
Yes, it's a great one.

598
00:47:15,830 --> 00:47:16,830
Just a little startling.

599
00:47:17,790 --> 00:47:20,090
It's that $28,000.

600
00:47:20,770 --> 00:47:23,270
We're looking for $52,000.

601
00:47:23,330 --> 00:47:25,850
Because we'll spend down the rest of it right here.

602
00:47:26,190 --> 00:47:26,470
Thank you.

603
00:47:26,710 --> 00:47:30,190
The rest of it, I was like, click and write along until I got to that number.

604
00:47:31,010 --> 00:47:33,510
Okay. Thank you

605
00:47:38,370 --> 00:47:41,850
very much. Debra Nicole. All right.

606
00:47:44,210 --> 00:47:47,550
We are next item on the

607
00:47:47,550 --> 00:47:49,590
agendas to enter a closed session for.

608
00:47:53,510 --> 00:48:00,030
I sure I can just make a motion and then we can do a

609
00:48:00,030 --> 00:48:05,530
little call. I would make a motion at this point that we enter a strategy session to discuss pending or

610
00:48:05,530 --> 00:48:13,510
reasonably imminent litigation pursuant to Utah code section 52-4-205-1c. Is there a second of

611
00:48:13,510 --> 00:48:19,530
that motion? Shantel's second set and now we need to take a individual roll call vote.

612
00:48:21,330 --> 00:48:26,750
So maybe if you can go ahead. Read the credits. Yes. Kelly Gough? Yes.

613
00:48:26,750 --> 00:48:26,930
Yes.

614
00:48:27,150 --> 00:48:28,030
Can I have this doctor?

615
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:31,420
You got to me.

616
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:32,440
Amy Felbert, yes.

617
00:48:33,140 --> 00:48:34,320
And Greg Ostranger, yes.

618
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:42,420
At 6.25 pm on Monday, August 17th, we are entering into closed session.

619
00:48:43,380 --> 00:48:45,800
Do you think that there are closures that are like, yes?

620
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:46,140
So yes.

621
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:47,260
I think that this one we're going to go.

622
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:47,900
Thank you.
