I will start us off with the word of prayer and afterwards I'll lead us in a patriotic tribute. [0:19] Dear Father and Heaven, we're thankful for the opportunity we have to convene together in this board meeting. We pray that I spirit of discernment and we'll be with us. We are so grateful for the [0:32] The opportunity to serve, we are grateful for the good teachers and administrators that we have here in this district. [0:40] We are grateful for by guidance in all things, we are grateful for the country which we live in. [0:47] We pray for the leaders of this country to make wise decisions and we pray for rain and water and snow this winter season to replenish our valleys. [0:58] These things we ask and pray for in the name of Jesus Christ. [1:18] We'll start [1:21] off with recognition and a chief make. [1:27] Trevor, would you mind, looks like you got all of them today? [1:31] Thank you. [1:31] So, as usual, [1:35] we get to recognize these individuals from France, for what I'm going [1:38] to do this. [1:39] You know, three times a year plus the performing arts as well. [1:43] So, I would just want to recognize these seniors that made that academic all state, for [1:48] Grace Soccer, who's currently Tanner, for girls' tendons from Brianna Dover, for cross [1:53] country was a lot of Peterson. [1:55] Football was waving sorts in the bullet balls as in Cal. [1:59] I say this every time, but millimomes of this were ACT score, a 3.75 cumulative, [2:06] which that number is a lot higher by the time that you start raking out, probably closer [2:10] to 4.0 on a lot of these supports. [2:13] So, you know, recognize them, you know, it's not an easy accomplishment and definitely [2:21] It even flows with the number of seniors we have on our teams. [2:27] And then we want to recognize, we have two across countries, [2:32] champion and a second place, two menti, [2:36] individuals, junior, pulgarner, and senior events in May. [2:40] As you can see, they were 10 seconds apart from each other. [2:44] 15 minutes and 45 seconds. [2:46] remember that's a 5k 3.1 miles. That's not even one mile. I don't think I can do that one [2:54] mile for that. So that's about 15, that's about five, five, 15 per mile. So if you think about [3:03] that in the track, that's four laps in five minutes. Boy, I think these guys were already in the paper. [3:08] Yes. Yeah. So anyway, there's a picture of them in there and I'll break down this section of [3:14] document and email to you. Because there are pictures with them. And then we wanted, it's a [3:20] great accomplishment. Anyone that makes it to the state championship game, I know they didn't [3:24] win, they took second place, but the mental high growth soccer team took second place at state. [3:30] They had a great run at the end. Superintendent kind of filled me in on their semi-file match against [3:37] teams that they had already lost to. In fact, they were down two to nothing late in the second half. [3:44] came back scored two goals late, went over time, and went over time. [3:49] Then they lost to often in the state championship. [3:52] And I've been, has like four, that I've already committed. [3:54] Or B1. [3:55] Yeah, and they, and they've won like two or three or three or four, [3:59] they have quite a program going. [4:02] So what we were to recognize those girls for their hardware, [4:04] the coaches, the staff. [4:07] It's never easy to get that far in the tournament. [4:10] and so for their second place finish in 3A state. [4:15] Then we have three students, Carlos has shown you, but we asked, let me have two [4:20] got us some high students that were part of it, and a apprentice program at ACT. [4:26] And I just want to thank Mark Anderson for his work with these students, and Stoke College [4:30] for preparing with us, as they went through the manufacturing process, we do have a picture [4:37] of one of the three, but it's a great accomplishment, [4:40] Marshall, the hard to get this apprenticeship up and going. [4:44] And so to have three students complete it, [4:47] it's just a great thing. [4:49] I was just looking on that test, not college, [4:52] in Sydney, behind him. [4:54] Is that Ralph Hulkerlin? [4:56] Yeah. [4:57] And he must be some type of a sponsor. [5:00] It says right there, Ralph Hulkerlin. [5:02] School of Technology and Education. [5:05] So yeah, he's basically [5:09] I don't have a name, but I won't get their names. [5:13] We kind of stole this picture from Matt to Happy. [5:15] From Binder's. [5:17] So we didn't have a picture of the other two. [5:20] But I will get their names. [5:23] And then just this week, we hosted the charity vision [5:26] I fully for students. [5:27] We both all students to the district office. [5:29] We had 71 students signed up. [5:32] We actually saw 71 students. [5:35] And then Katie Nelson, one of our school nurses that put this together, she invited the superintendent and I to go out, we actually give the classes to the students here in the near future. [5:47] So we're going to do that. I didn't even tell superintendent that way we're going to do that, but it's just it was a great thing to see we bust all the students from all seven of our schools up to the district office. [5:58] We kind of broke it into mornings and afternoons. [6:02] We did the mornings, came from Gunson area, then the entire area, and then early afternoon [6:06] we did e-frump, brought those students. [6:10] If you could just felt the atmosphere ringing upstairs and hearing the kids and all that was [6:15] going on, in fact Dr. Robinson had a bootcast pushing on a... [6:22] You can see him on a bit. [6:23] Yeah, very down. [6:24] You can see he had, he was in a bootcast, and it's not Robots and Robots, is it? [6:29] Yeah. [6:30] Not Rob. [6:30] This is Dr. Kim, a person. [6:34] But do I met him? [6:37] And then you can see at the very end the group. [6:39] I took a picture of the group. [6:41] Just outside of the district office, the entire staff, [6:45] right there. [6:46] That's the group with our nurses that were there, so. [6:51] And these glasses, Trevor, they were provided at the students at no cost. [6:56] Where did this charity? [6:57] So this is the, they've done this a couple years now. [6:59] It's called the site buddies, charity vision, right here, because of the site's charities [7:07] and Dr. Robinson of the ice interview from. [7:10] And our nurses kind of got this. [7:12] Yeah, Katie Nelson is the one that kind of gets up and going, we had it that we went to all [7:19] of the communities and it was easier as far as moving kids around and stuff, but we had [7:25] to kind of accommodate their schedules and stuff so that's why we bust everybody to the [7:30] Our nurses do vision checks, because when a student can't see what's on the board and what they're writing and stuff, and they usually don't want to say something, so they don't say anything, so we don't know, and then they get glasses and it's like, oh, I can, you know, so it's just helpful for their educational purposes. [7:49] And then when these charities offered to do this, [7:54] they went out and looked and found these guys or they offered it [7:57] and Katie just lined everything up and it's been the past couple years. [8:01] That's pretty neat. How many sets of glasses that are given out? [8:06] Not all of these families have vision insurance, so they would get them there, because they're not there. [8:12] So what they do is when they do, when they at each school and they pre-screen all of these kids, [8:18] Then the nurses are the ones that are saying, hey, here's some kids that need more in-depth screening than what we gave them. [8:27] And so they line it up for those kids. [8:29] They have to send home permission slips and get permission slips from their parents and everything to bring them in and allow them to do this. [8:37] So it was great thing. [8:40] And it was fun to host. [8:42] Just to hear them downstairs and cycle through. [8:45] In fact, we got that early when my principles were, you will have them back by before [8:50] two o'clock in the buses and imagine that, but we did have them back early. [8:54] Well, I'm Rocky Mountain University, I Institute have these students and so they need [8:59] to go out and get practical applications, so yeah, it works well for them and that's how [9:04] they've kind of created this cheritivation site buddy team with them. [9:09] Yeah, it's always great on the recognition. [9:11] I did text, what can I have to send this to give? I'll get all three names to hold me so that the two guys can see us. [9:21] Cool. Thanks, Trevor. [9:25] Any items of citizen dialogue? [9:31] No. [9:34] Okay. [9:38] As far as business items, did everybody have a chance to review over the [9:42] the minutes from our October 8th meeting. [9:48] Any questions or concerns? [9:50] I didn't see any. Should I move to accept minutes from our October 4th meeting? [9:56] Okay. Mark moves that we accept October 8th board meeting minutes and [10:02] clean seconds all in favour? I'm going to be opposed. Okay. [10:08] Lawrence, any questions or comments or anything with the warrants? [10:12] Can I just ask a couple of them questions? [10:16] On these words sent to the Guinness and Valley Police Department in Manta. [10:21] Is that just for the school resource? [10:24] The resource officer, clearly, you really think once you hear that. [10:28] And then I just have a roll around and question and you'll probably hit me for you to ask me. [10:33] What is Headwater's Cow and Guess Ranch? [10:36] That is where the leading by some beef hamburger and a school of high program. [10:43] So, today I invite you to say from, say, you had a question, you'll see there's a $65,000 [10:49] paying us to three different individuals. [10:52] So we have a couple of teachers that are doing their student teaching. [10:55] The state has an incentive program to get people to go into teaching. [11:00] And so, the ones they need, they need their certain criteria for student teaching. [11:04] The stakes in the solicits says these people are quite far from this. [11:08] Here's the money to pay on. [11:10] I'm going to let you guys in the cash table check and pay them. [11:13] So we're just kind of passed through into T.M.F. [11:16] But when I reviewed the warranty, I don't know if you've had a month where we've spent as much money as we did this month. [11:24] We spent over $4 million. [11:26] And I was just like a combination. [11:28] Everything kind of hit at once. [11:30] The part of that construction rule, a lot of the construction account is for it because we had the final payment for that. [11:37] Man told me to rest during the model, we had the final payment for playgrounds, and we had two big payments on the shops. [11:44] Plus, three insurance payments came out. [11:49] We were both through the month of September, for example, to make a bill for September. [11:52] PHP pay a beginning in the month. So in October we had to pay for September and October [11:59] and then we had the beginning of November we paid for November. So just a lot of things happened [12:07] that one month. [12:11] So any other questions with any of those payments? [12:15] And we can most of them accept or larger than 3, 4, 3, 6, 6, 3, 4, 6, 1, 3. [12:24] Okay? [12:24] The motion is that we accept. [12:28] Warned beginning with 3, 4, 3, 6, 6, and ending with 3, 4, 6, 1, 3 all in favor. [12:35] All right. [12:35] Any opposed? [12:38] Okay. [12:39] Jake, you want to reveal over a budget report? [12:41] I'll go over the budget of 4, so 33% of the year has gone by, July and through October as for this report. [12:50] And here today, there's been 16.9 in the year they received 16.8. [12:56] We're going to put down the middle green column, salary is been 5.5, and that's 2.5. [13:04] The first service is 0.8. [13:06] The supply of the tourism is 0.9. [13:08] We're going to put it in property, 0.9. [13:11] That's our one-day interest payment of the 54,000. [13:16] Right now we're at the impact of the pretty similar to the last year. [13:21] I've been a bit drawn to percent higher at this point. [13:24] to get the last year, our salaries are 11% higher. [13:28] It would be lower than that, but this year, on October 31st, [13:32] payroll, we had the ESP balance that was provided [13:36] for the state, or we would give it to this high. [13:40] But overall expenses compared to this same time last year were 55% higher, [13:47] but almost 5 million or 6 million of that is, [13:50] because of all the construction payments we've had to make. [13:53] We started everything at like 25 and all the payments started at the beginning of this year. [13:59] So our revenue is compared to the same point in time last year or 16% higher. [14:05] So the capital project payments all the minutes are down drastically from this point on to the rest of the year. [14:14] That's where we're around the expense side. [14:17] Remnews 14.5 million in the corrections program, 577.5 million for that service. [14:24] To tackle that late night, we have 24,595. [14:31] We only have one more remaining payment, or at least I guess a remaining amount from the shops. [14:37] Like I mentioned, although the projects are paid off for the shops. [14:42] 385,000 will be résumé to pay this Thursday we have a lot to go over to a punch list [14:50] because we are supposed to be buttoned up down there at the shop. [14:54] So, in December, we will receive the bulk of our property. [15:00] My tax payments from Accountee has a little bit kind of December. For the month of November, we did submit to reimbursement of 566,000 on our grants. Every year, some by three more and more funding has tied to grants. We've got to spend a lot of time with this amount of time to get reimbursed. So, anyway, there's been for over half a million there. Just reminder, we've been working with Steve, our audience consultants on the audit report, [15:29] we would do the draft, we'd send it off to the Augusta, give their final stand, and then they will present that in the December board meeting to the board. [15:42] So, we'll have that December, and then also in December, we'll probably have a capital project to discuss what we want to look at doing this summer. [15:52] So, you're out, and you try to look it together and kind of look at the needs and what was on the list last year that they completely had them up and then we'll thank some of our recommendations to you guys to play, you know, what we're looking to do next year. [16:07] So, that's all I have for the budget for my certain other questions there. [16:13] Okay? [16:16] Hello, we accept the budget report presented by Jake. [16:20] What's that even? [16:21] Okay. [16:22] Dave motions that we accept budget report, and Monty's second silent favor. [16:27] All right. [16:28] Any opposed? [16:31] I just have one item for board members. [16:35] That's just reminding everybody that hasn't complete your master board training. [16:42] So, if you don't know where that is, ask Ralph and he can re-email, right? [16:47] The link to it, I think everybody was good marks, so I just- [16:50] I just got a bit to go. [16:52] Who's struggling with back on, so? [16:56] Now, I think that's due before December, what? [16:59] December, I like first, I thought, I think there's a couple of tips on clay, some sort of [17:04] layers. [17:05] Okay. [17:06] I was going to mention to just next board meeting we have is at the district office and we do a little Christmas dinner [17:13] afterward we'll be right there in the Christmas office for your spouses. I'll put that in the Friday note and remind you and then our [17:20] state meetings for the school board association are the Thursday Friday Saturday when we come back. [17:29] like the Christmas break? Yes. [17:34] His New Year's, the first, yes, the 8th, 9th and 10th is [17:41] one that is. So we will not have board meeting on that January because we'll be meeting at [17:47] the state. Nobody needs to be sworn in anything like that. So this January we don't have [17:53] an official board meeting for this do the state training that we do on Thursday, right, [18:03] I just wanted to say that nine went to the Guns and High School play and it was really good. [18:10] It was three hours long, but those kids did next job. [18:13] They had three hours long. [18:15] Three hours long. [18:16] Three hours long. [18:17] And everything, but it was great. [18:19] They did a wonderful job. [18:20] And then last night, we went to the early yesterday and last night. [18:24] went to the Veterans Program of the Elementary, and they always did such a great job. [18:29] And so I just wanted to commend them to get a chance to ever go. [18:33] It's wonderful. [18:34] Yeah, it was a third grade that did it. [18:36] And they sang probably a dozen different songs. [18:38] Yeah. [18:39] It was amazing. [18:40] Keep the key songs and they're so excited. [18:44] They honor that veterans and some of them have family that's deployed right now. [18:49] So they honor them too. [18:51] This is really good. [18:52] It's great. [18:53] The middle school's play is this weekend. [18:57] Cool. [18:58] You know what was the play? [19:00] It was, um, how to succeed in business without really trying. [19:04] And it was really cute. [19:06] It doesn't sound like a very, you know, it's not a well-known, well-known play, but it's very. [19:11] It's really nice. [19:14] It's really nice. [19:16] It's really nice. [19:17] It's really nice. [19:22] It's really nice. [19:22] really. [19:25] Yeah, [19:29] I attended the concerts, the band concerts, over at the middle school in Josh. [19:35] Rasmussen always does a really good job with those kids over there that eat from middle [19:41] school. It's amazing to see what improvement they make. This year, I've got an eighth grader. [19:46] And I can just remember when he was a sixth grader. So it's amazing to watch the improvement [19:51] from six to eight up to what those eighth graders can do. [19:54] You want to hear it every day. [19:57] Well, I only get his hair hem. [19:58] I don't get it here in the whole band. [20:02] So I just would commend Josh as a good job for those kids over there at the middle school. [20:08] Well, all of our teachers, especially the job and even though even Darwin, he's not used to being [20:19] And it's every day and I said, yes, it's a different year. [20:26] All right, Amy, this is that's the way, he knows. [20:30] Any other items from board members? [20:34] With that, Ralph, would you give us some reports on enrollment? [20:40] Yeah, I do. [20:41] I do the October one, and this is indirect correlation from the state, the news released [20:46] they gave and I thought it was kind of the rest in the want to show this because it kind [20:51] of mayors what we've seen is we've seen it a little bit of a drop in our enrollment but it says [20:54] you talk about looking school enrollment drops for third consecutive year and we've seen that in [20:59] our district for a few years it's kind of dropped. It says the sustained enrollment loss directly [21:06] affects state funding for local education agencies and that's one of the things why we track [21:11] So closely, because that's number of student equals that's number of teachers and staff members. [21:16] But if you look down on the next paragraph, it says that they were only a handful, [21:20] that it did see growth. [21:22] And of the rural ones it was only beaver in Twirl County, [21:26] I saw growth of over one percent, so that was kind of interesting. [21:31] It says, well, the total enrollment is decreasing the proportional, [21:34] the proportion of students requiring specialized education services [21:37] continues to rise. It's a trend that we've seen in the past so that it goes down with shows. [21:43] Students with disabilities has gone from 11 to 14% English language learners who come from [21:49] 6 to 9% and then that next paragraph says, you doesn't know that trends near the broader [21:55] democratic shifts where you're seeing nationwide. Smaller both both cohorts, slowing in migration. [22:02] Increase school choice. Well, the numbers are declining over all that that also reminds [22:07] us that our education responsibilities are growing more complex as a greater share of students [22:12] require specialized supports. Our focus remains on ensuring that every child in every community [22:18] continues to receive a high quality education regardless of state fluctuations said the state [22:23] superintendent. So, and we're just interesting that we're kind of marrying what they're seeing [22:28] to and their concern. [22:30] So we have grateful, our bigger declines, but they do have a stabilization so they take and equalize it over multiple years. [22:42] So you don't see such great big peaks and valleys in we can plan for things better, but just shows that our October 1 count is marrying what the state is also. [22:58] Okay, thank you Jeff, project progress, Jake. [23:04] So I need you to take, so at least have those other two projects, the playgrounds and the bathrooms are done. [23:10] I'm gonna, [23:14] I'll sort of, nearly done. [23:17] So the wrestling room is done, the way that's been handed over to the school, and they're in their practice of using the wrestling room right now. [23:25] Now we did order a brand new mat for that space. [23:28] Unfortunately, it was like 28 weeks out and you placed the order back in May or June. So it's not going to be in your top January [23:37] But the coach is the end of you know, he is understanding so he's one of the hell board of men [23:42] I don't know what I mean, he would need to send you a clip. So he got the order [23:49] They're using their competition mats in there right now [23:55] This is a really nice space. [23:57] The shocks are our right guarantee answer, [24:00] just a little bit of financial, electrical and finishing off [24:04] the desk collector, or very close. [24:07] Here's some of the pictures that the project managers sent me [24:10] down here in the bottom of the seat. [24:12] You can see when the photo is taken. [24:14] So this is before the desk collector was pretty much a single. [24:18] They've done painting, they've sealed the outside, break, so this is looking in the interior. [24:28] And to do all new AEDA sinks for the softs, just do it to clean up after a class period. [24:36] So that's staying still in my oven, a sink with an eye wash for emergency stairs. [24:46] They repaved or completely redid the drive that goes back to both of the shops, poured a little cement and curved right here. [24:54] That's the end to the baseball complex. [24:57] There's some pictures of the dust collector getting a symbol that's a really big sheet. [25:04] That's a very aerial view of this. [25:06] Here's inside the new resting room. [25:08] as long as all this is the mass that we build out. [25:14] Well, there's some of their practice maps that they'll use until they get the ones [25:18] the new ones that go in there. [25:21] Yeah. [25:21] And this is inside the metals, inside the metals, and then another few metals. [25:31] This is inside the wood shop. [25:33] This is the main booth. [25:34] it's all isolated and it kind of gives it a drying and then right over here in the corner [25:40] there is actually spray booth. [25:44] So this is inside that's the spray booth and this is the drying [25:47] area. [25:52] So these are the finishes that are working on. Like so we have a meeting on Thursday tomorrow [25:59] and then I will walk through the shops and do a punch list of anything that I believe but so [26:06] get in real close, I'm thinking sometime, first part of December, they should be walking away. [26:16] Get lost in there. [26:17] It's not necessary to walk away because then we'll turn our efforts over to the elementary. [26:23] Yeah. [26:23] But at least walk away. [26:24] And that's what we're asking. [26:25] Yes. [26:28] So with the elementary decision, we're just in back and forth of the architecture design team right now. [26:34] trying to just hammer out exactly how we want the design to work, look, how that work. [26:39] Ventures are going to be inside and just making sure all the engineers are coordinating. [26:45] So, they're hoping to have final plans to us this Friday, it was at the 20th or 21st. [26:52] So, I want to say that once final set of plans in my hands, I want to go walk in the spaces with [26:58] the plans in my hand to make sure we're not missing anything and try to avoid change orders the best we can. [27:04] So all of the hope is to put those out to be the first part of December and then finding [27:12] how to enter whether it is playground in February or March. [27:17] Have they already gone in with Andy to formulate the plans to know on all of the HVAC and [27:24] the electrical, and we've been having IT stuff, we've met several teams with all that stuff. [27:30] So when West has met with us, they brought an engineer for each one of those areas, one for a structural civil and electrical energy. [27:40] So they've been very, very good to bring everybody to the can to make sure we can answer any questions and get things straight at the first time. [27:52] And we've had these men at everyone, those meetings and so some of the custodians have been there, Jake and I. [28:00] So now we'll be a exciting project to do this on. [28:04] Okay. [28:06] Moving on, information about the risk newsletter and PTA insurance date. [28:13] Yeah, so this man has since these newsletters out on someone else, they always get questions and you'll [28:19] maybe this do that in school. So whenever we get these, we just put them in the board and begin to just show the work. [28:25] Discussing them and then they're also sent out to the people that they have actually sent this out to the principals. [28:32] PTAs usually deal with elementary level. [28:35] Just talks about their need to have their own insurance. [28:39] They are on the campus doing their activities. [28:41] You know, it's just, it's just an all-perliction with a bunch of weather and weather coming. [28:48] That's where a lot of the injuries and different things happen. [28:51] So we sent this out to all the school principals and the facilities to be aware of that. [28:57] And we risked that way. [28:59] So we're starting to see a few more of these, you know, Rachel, Terry, took over. [29:05] She, I mean, she's tried to broker and get our insurance rates to go down as insurance [29:12] goes up. [29:13] The state of Utah in public, because they ensure all state of Utah entities, so colleges [29:21] and universities, schools, all the state, other state entities, and so I'm trying to remember [29:28] what it's just staggering how many millions of billions of dollars that are covered under [29:34] And then they have all their acts where people go through stuff and they say, this is where we're spending the bulk of our money. [29:42] So let's do these newsletters or flyers to try to reiterate the importance of some of these things because all it takes is one or two incidents here there and lawsuits go up and costs all of us. [29:58] There's so much money in risk. [30:00] So they can't ensure themselves as a state, so they have to grow up to nationwide companies to buy insurance, but they are partially state-covered. [30:08] And it's quite interesting to hear and listen to them, talk about just what it takes to ensure all of the state entities here. [30:18] So these just help to try to prevent costs from rising for us. [30:23] Okay, winter sports coaches list. [30:28] Yep, this is, I think, trials have started for winter sports stuff already, but these [30:33] are the coaches that got us in that amount of pay, the people who are indicating the time [30:38] and given, [30:42] just wanted to put those names in front of you as we do each season, so if you [30:45] had any questions who's doing what you could refer to those and have access to those. [30:50] Who follows up on all of the little trainings that the assistant coaches need to do and [30:59] back-round checks and all that stuff? [31:01] That going checks comes through us, but that's like directors and both schools will. [31:07] They have that list of nine, five are four are ongoing, five are every year. [31:14] So they have a list of checklists and they have deadlines they have to eat before they get. [31:18] So their credentials will be ready for state tournaments is kind of how we do it. [31:24] And when do their trainings have to be declared in time to be dealt with? [31:28] But as sports they have to be done by January because they have to produce their credentials. [31:34] How's their pitch around it before they get to the state tournaments in February? [31:38] Drills probably before that, because Drills is probably the end of January. [31:41] say was swim. So it's kind of the middle of two seasons. [31:50] I don't know when to track all the [31:51] contestional protocols. Yeah, there are things online so they can, the 80s won't get [31:57] notification of when they've completed that. They cannot load their documents. They do first day [32:01] CPR is every other year. Custom protocols are every year. They're coaching certification and [32:09] that is, that's one time. Once they have that either the course or a P.E. [32:14] mine or a coaching miner, then that's one time they don't have to do that over [32:17] quarter. How is are we still as Devon still holding that coaching [32:22] clinic or class? Are we still doing that? How has that been going? [32:26] Well, good. I mean, I don't know what's super telling me how to do that. But then [32:31] valuable for the dogini's that we've offered those coaches, especially incoming [32:36] coaches about player agreements, practice plans, practice schedules, how often is he doing [32:44] those just as he did? [32:48] So he has a period every other day. [32:52] So one day at the end of that time, one day at the end of that time, one day at the end of [32:56] that time, a week at a time, he'll spend. [33:02] Now he's ramp back up with the winter sports as they all come not blind. [33:06] So make sure they have what they want, and then he'll kind of [33:10] it'll January, will be a little bit lighter, and then [33:15] fit very marchable, wrap that up with the [33:18] spring of summer sports. [33:20] How is he doing? [33:22] In what way? [33:24] Health wise, he doesn't have any more issues. [33:31] But he's made some changes in his, obviously, [33:34] his schedule and coaching and stuff. Is there a possibility in probability that he could come back [33:41] in culture? That's a dirt. I would imagine that's up to the hand in school. And maybe even [33:48] his wife? Yeah, probably. I guess we did that. I didn't know that when he was on the monitor and [33:55] he was off and he wasn't doing things and then when he went back to the start coach looks [34:01] go on the monitor, everything frees back up and that's one. I think the decision was made that [34:07] he needs to step away for a while. So I think, you know, they ain't [34:15] politics taking over and I think he'll, I think, in my mind, Devon will be in the background supporting [34:22] He's been helping me. [34:24] Yeah, I'm sure he's been helping us all that time with both programs, all sets of coaches [34:29] with specifically basketball, if that is helpful to all coaches. [34:35] Yeah, and his ability to organize, to coordinate and be effective in efficient, have been proven [34:42] and so it's been beneficial. [34:44] I've had several coaches that said, thank you for giving us this support, so I've been a really good [34:49] thing. [34:50] Yeah. [34:50] That is a good thing. [34:52] And as you can see, how many coaches will have, of course, [34:56] semil, works probably more closely with the head [34:58] coaches than any of the others, but it has been a good effort [35:04] on our part, as you know, you hear comments about sports [35:10] and activities, probably about as much as anything else. [35:14] So anything we can do to support them and help them, [35:16] we want to do. [35:20] Great. [35:23] 150 mile overnight trip requests. Any concerns there. So we visit with them. They're taken a number of buses on weekends and overnight trips to go to swim tournaments. [35:35] We've coordinated with them and we're working on things and seeing if we could get them to take some suburb and it's on a couple of those. [35:41] But I don't see any problems. One nice thing is, Gunnison swimming has grown so that they have enough kids they need to take a bus. [35:50] Of course, we're strong advocates that when kids are participating in any activity, they're more engaged than what they do in school. [35:58] Is that when most of the swim meets a curse on the weekends? [36:03] Well, there are others, but he works. He has a full-time job, too. [36:07] And so weekends work better for some legs to get. [36:10] and then they all felt like some of these smaller athletic programs like swimming if they [36:22] coordinate with mankind and some of these if they've got the same schedule can they travel together [36:27] on the same bus. If they went to the same venues, there's a possibility. [36:38] I don't see any from [36:39] more years. Yes, they have. I still build them. Yeah, I meant I still [36:43] but so but that's something I can coordinate with Karen about yes. And they did take [36:48] one. We just asked them, hey, is there something that we could find some [36:53] balance on and they did take one of their, we can turn them off just to try that. [36:58] Help and understand travel. There are a couple of them that are like a two and a half [37:04] hours. I think one of the cedar ones starts at eight in the morning, the next morning, [37:09] So they're not getting this any school on a couple of those, even though they list four periods. [37:14] There's a couple of those that don't miss any school, they'll go after school on Friday night, and then can be all day Saturday. [37:21] And some of it, too, is as they, because we kind of questioned and raised the board pressure by on this one coach. [37:30] When we question some of this stuff, an assmark to learn more about it, and one of the things is, is that they just go to the small little ones, then it's the younger kids who don't swim as much and so then they don't, the competition isn't as good and they want to play competing against it. [37:47] So, it seems like though that in other activities [37:52] that there are region means that they don't have to get approval to go [37:58] even though they're so, is this, do we not have a swim region? [38:03] We do, and it's not, it's not listed on there. [38:06] So, these are, these are, in addition to, I think right now, [38:11] from what, and it may change, but, [38:13] be a grand. So that's not listed on there because it is listed there. [38:21] Read the swimmers. What would not have to be listed there? [38:25] That's not right. [38:30] Like, Ellison may have to go play can happen, basketball for the regular season. [38:34] They don't have to get approval for that. [38:37] They would because it's not a region match, it's 150 marks. [38:40] Well, it is a region you won't see it so that's why I'm saying none of these events are considered region [38:46] There's not really a region. It's just divisions when it comes to swim [38:50] So it's not it's kind of one of those [38:53] You take what you can get, but there's not a region for swim [38:57] So I guess what what I'm thinking is [39:00] They've got to go compete right so [39:05] In reality this is basically then saying this is us going on all of our [39:09] and get all our agents. [39:11] Yeah, this is our region event. [39:13] So there's our way that we can because it's more required [39:17] that we don't have to approve some of these things. [39:20] And I'm not, I'm fine with it, but I'm just saying, [39:23] it seems, if I'm playing basketball or football [39:28] and it's a region thing, I don't have to, [39:31] I'll have to request anything. [39:33] So it seems like it's a little bit unfair. [39:37] You do the same thing with speech debate, you'll see those come through, they don't necessarily [39:43] have a region, they go to different events that I agree with you while you're saying. [39:49] You're like good checks and bounds for us, it gave the superintendent a chance to [39:53] bridge with that and say, okay, walk us through the schedule. [39:57] But you will, you still approve, if they have, of course, region, non-region, the inter, [40:06] they, we don't approve, but speech and debate, swim, anything that doesn't even football, [40:13] football for Gensen is different, they're not in their normal region than other [40:21] sports, they don't have a true region. [40:24] That's not fine with this, but I'm just, yeah, it's good. [40:28] Here's another question I have, is there been any parent, that's a number, that's probably [40:34] the most overnight trips out of any sport in the district, I would say, I can't fool [40:41] schools. [40:42] Yeah, is that, is any parents rising red flags about paying for those, because I think those [40:49] coming out of families, pockets, those hotel or Airbnb costs and such. [40:56] Yeah, I can't speak to that. [40:58] They have produced the schedule before, because some are going, it didn't start this week. [41:05] You know, it's kind of splits between ball and winter sports. [41:09] So the parents know the schedule. [41:11] Well, they don't, the kids don't have to go to everyone. [41:14] No one. [41:14] Like they, from what I understand, just because I know that they're picking the ones that they want to participate in. [41:22] So it's not like when you're on a team, they need you there. [41:24] I mean, obviously there's been really, but it's individual. [41:30] Okay. [41:31] Okay. [41:32] Anyway, we don't, we work with Gene and our work with Bents. [41:35] And we don't see any problems with any of these, as they continue to work with us. [41:39] the Knab basketball term is a traditional thing and then the pink which's wrestling and something that happens so [41:47] I'm I'm working with with where we're at with a 150 mile overnight requests. I'll make a motion. We have proved the 150 mile [41:54] special overnight requests. I'm seconded. Okay Dave motions that we accept the 150 mile overnight trip requests and [42:03] and Monty seconds on favor, any opposed. [42:07] Okay, he's got the first three policies. [42:12] You have the first three policies, yeah. [42:15] So EAA is transportation services [42:17] and one thing is I was updating policies. [42:20] They want to make sure that we add in the markings [42:23] and design and lights and inspections of buses [42:27] just aligning that. [42:29] So that's what's in red and been added to that policy. [42:32] And then I updated the code, [42:37] like markings and lights as they change from one year to the next or from one of our buses. [42:43] Thanks for your time. [42:44] I mail that to you. [42:46] So make sure you get. [42:47] Hey, thank you guys. [42:48] From one old bus to a new bus. [42:50] No, no. [42:51] It just was never in policy. [42:54] We follow the national specs. [42:58] But it just wasn't going to policy and as Superintendent got policies this summer, [43:03] then I just updated what sort of those were in policy. [43:07] I have here at Mars, it was the best, I'll say, school bus. [43:11] So we got the new buses. [43:14] I did. [43:15] Can you a month ago? [43:16] Just barely. [43:17] This was all right. [43:18] And the new one for this coming year will be your early. [43:22] So it'll be here March April. [43:23] So I'm back ahead of the game now. [43:28] And then wrestling match are 28 weeks out. [43:30] Buses are starting to get back. [43:32] I'm getting under six notes. [43:34] So, which is please. [43:37] So, let's policy EAAA. [43:39] I think we should do one more time. [43:42] I mean, if you're different policies, yeah, I think we should do one more time. [43:45] I move to accept the policy updates to EAAA. [43:53] I'll second that. [43:54] Mark motions that we accept policy changes to EAAA and date seconds on favor. [44:00] Any opposed? [44:02] Okay, policy EBB. [44:04] So what I did is, I kind of brought, school safety is obviously a bigger in the forefront. [44:09] So I added this to our emergency fairness and response plan. [44:12] So if you go down to the red park, this talks about the needs assessment. [44:17] So every other year we'll do what's called the needs assessment on every campus. [44:21] It was every year and then they changed the law again already. [44:25] So every other year. [44:26] So we're on the off year this coming this year. [44:29] And then, St. Hugo does that, just us. [44:32] Yeah, so I will, I'm a district coordinator, and then I work with the, the, the three agencies, [44:38] E from Police Department, Guest Department, Police Department, and, [44:41] St. Hugo Sheriff's Office, Derek Tason, is our county security specialist. [44:50] He will work with the resource officers, and then I have a safety specialist who isn't teacher [44:55] and or instructional coach at all seven buildings so each of those individuals. [45:00] We'll do an assessment. We'll do that the first three days of contract next August. We'll be our next needs assessment. [45:07] Okay. And then, safety personnel, just this is just putting in writing what we're doing. [45:13] Who those personnel are, and then it comes down to the resource officer, school guardians, which we have now in place night of 10, of my school guardians, our certified and going operating. [45:28] And then we are still working on the universal access key boxes. [45:32] I've got a question about the school guardians. [45:37] Is there a way that the people that community could ever find out who those guardians are? [45:46] No. [45:47] There's not supposed to be. [45:48] I know, actually. [45:49] It's not supposed to. [45:50] That is literally in state statute that if that information is given out, it can be [45:57] And it goes to reason, I mean, so just so you know, he knows, my, I've created a document [46:08] with my guardians and their pictures that I shared with the law enforcement because they need [46:12] to know. [46:13] So our law enforcement agencies have names and pictures of our guardians for, obviously, security [46:21] reasons. So what happens if that guardian is known amongst the community? It's not, it can't be [46:29] not known in some ways. I'm just telling you, you asked what the law laws and it's just a [46:34] protector. I know. Is there a reason that we would maybe consider changing if it's well-known [46:42] throughout the community who the guardian is? Well, it's a process. So we'll have 16 hours of training, [46:47] will have 16 hours of shooting and then they will have some air training and then they have [46:53] to qualify every year and have an evaluation. [46:56] Yeah, I don't know about mental health, so it's grown lost, it's not taken lightly, and [47:01] then not very many people who want to do it either. [47:04] And so to me it doesn't really, it's not advertised and nor do I want to advertise it. [47:13] All it is is just a backup of a backup, really. [47:16] You know, we put single point entries, we put ballistic film, we are putting less of a [47:23] best cubles on our elementaries, trying to make our entries better. [47:29] You know, it really comes down to, for me, I don't mean it can't get off, but what is our [47:34] cultural like in your school, what are our administrators, where are our counselors, how are [47:39] training individuals and I think are we connecting? [47:43] Are we connecting connections? [47:45] So, I have a little question and I have a tussle with it a lot. [47:51] We're not sharing the names, but will they probably leak a little bit? [47:57] Yeah, I mean we can have these names. [47:59] I mean it's just the way it is. [48:00] I don't know if I can ever change it. [48:02] That's too well known. [48:04] Yeah. [48:05] Yeah. [48:07] Yeah, I mean, what's the difference between that and someone known that I got an SRO here anyway? [48:16] So, yeah, it's, and what's the right? [48:18] It's a ball of, it's a ball of choice type. [48:21] We have a stipend built for them for their training. [48:25] And if they ever felt like, that was the case. [48:28] And again, this is brand new. [48:30] So, we're just, [48:32] is this 2025, the first 2026, the first school year, that we've had the Guardians in school. [48:39] But I haven't trained. [48:42] Oh, were they in last year, 2024, 2025? [48:47] So this is the first year they've been in the school. [48:49] Yes, but by law that I'll be in till May. [48:51] Yeah, next year is the worst. [48:53] State statute, we're just ahead of it. [48:55] We want to get it done and provide it that for us and we just did it. [49:03] at the end of the [49:06] game. [49:07] Go to the question. [49:08] Yeah, of course. [49:09] We accept your policy changes to policy EBB. [49:15] On the second. [49:16] Okay. [49:16] Dave motions that we accept policy changes to EBB and clean seconds on favor. [49:22] Hi. [49:22] Any opposed? [49:24] Just piggybacked on that just a little bit. [49:27] We are asking for some more at one time money for the state, for all school districts [49:32] to continue to increase our school safety. One of the big things that we're still want to do is [49:38] more security cameras. Because we got some last year and we just need more that just [49:45] dead spot blind spots that would be helpful. [49:50] We will ask some cameras with this current one, [49:54] but we want to get the income and bells and all that communication side done first before we did. [50:00] So, it's kind of delayed. Well, we will add some more cameras on this grant, whatever we can to fill the money we got. [50:08] You were starting to talk about this. [50:11] Yeah, the XSK box is just, that's something we've talked about for a while. [50:15] And then that has to be in place. [50:17] We have a couple of years to do that, but there'll just be a universal keynote. [50:21] We'll have an outside for a long first. [50:25] Sorry. [50:28] Okay, policy, IKF. [50:32] Yeah, so this is part of the curriculum. [50:34] One thing that was changed in law, more safety, [50:38] that we have to have a very small piece [50:42] of firearms safety training. [50:45] Now that is not handling a weapon. [50:47] That's if you find a weapon, so it's really three to five minutes [50:53] Instruction on, if you find something telemedult, [50:57] there's different grade levels of video. [50:59] You can see, to grade at least three times [51:01] while the student is attending kindergarten through six, [51:04] at least once, while in the middle school, [51:05] at least once during high school. [51:07] And there's a short video of that shared [51:09] with all the principles on the different levels [51:11] that they just have to make sure that that's fulfilled. [51:14] So I just put that in our curriculum, [51:16] because that is part of the state law. [51:18] That's one of those things that goes, [51:20] somebody comes to the legislature and says, [51:22] It would be really good if Guns Safety were taught in our schools and as a result of past and now we have [51:28] But we made sure that they provided us with some videos, but we had to have it in policy also [51:32] Yeah, so I just added to our curriculum policy [51:41] Second so Queen motions that we set policy changes to iKF and mark seconds all in favor [51:49] Any opposed [51:50] Okay, policy changes to DBB, and I guess also DBB-1. [51:57] That's a new policy. [51:58] Looks like they're new policy. [51:59] Those are new policy. [52:00] These are new policies? [52:01] We didn't really have a donation. [52:03] Confucian sponsorship policy. [52:06] How many people want to donate or build something for us or this or that? [52:13] So I just thought I looked at the state's model policy and incorporated that. [52:17] and put some Carl and go to the end of it. [52:20] Just kind of defines it to make a contribution. [52:22] You know, it is now property of district, transfer ownership, [52:28] and then you may just kind of go to... [52:30] It spells out the different levels of donations, the types of donations, what we put the name on, and the naming and so forth. [52:40] And then the form is just a document for them to fill out. So this kind of lines out some of that information that they want to use for attacks, deductible thing for them. [52:51] So where do you have in trouble with donations or something? [52:55] There was kind of a specific thing about that kind of spurred this, that I'm sure later, but that's one of the reasons why I need that to have something else. [53:08] Okay. [53:12] Alex, step-to-motion. [53:16] Move to accept policy. [53:19] DBB, we're looking at new policy and the form that goes with DBB1, okay? [53:32] Mark motions that we accept new policy DBB as well as the form DBB-1 that goes with that [53:40] and Colleen 2nd, it's all in favour? [53:42] Aye, aye. [53:43] Any opposed? [53:46] Okay. [53:47] Policy KL and KL-1. [53:51] So KL was public complaints. [53:55] And so I'm combining two that we had, [53:58] the last were 0-3, so they're 22 years old, [54:02] and meeting the requirement, public complaints, [54:04] and public education hotline. [54:07] So we're combining those together [54:08] and including the public education online. [54:11] By law, we have to have a hotline on our district website [54:14] and on every school's website that if somebody wants [54:18] to contact somebody about a complaint or a fraud or audit. [54:24] And we have this already. [54:26] Jake had to under Jake's business administrator tab, [54:30] but that didn't meet the compliance issues. [54:33] So we had to put it on our main page and then update our policy [54:38] because our policy needs to be updated to show what we would do when we, with establishing [54:43] the hotline and what was the process for filing a complaint and then how, how we would [54:50] process the complaint. So that's what this policy is. There's also a form on KL but [54:56] ask certain questions. KL-1 is the form that asks the questions. Also if you go to that [55:03] It takes you to a Google survey form that will [55:08] You can go out and then ships it directly to us. [55:11] So we have one that comes to us in South Sampe. [55:14] But there's also the one under Jake's BA website. [55:17] It goes to the USBE fraud audit hotline also. [55:23] So that's why we did this. [55:26] Being compliance. [55:28] Okay. [55:29] I'll make a motion we accept policy changes in combination to KL and KL-1. [55:38] The motion that we accept policy changes to KL as well as the corresponding document [55:45] KL-1 and Mark's second solid favor, I thought any opposed vehicle purchase, Jake, [55:55] I want to explain what that is and where it's going. [55:59] Yeah, so it's a guy's co-seeing advertising at Parker, we date find a person to help [56:05] Andy hired by a child. [56:09] He's one of the toughest hiring assistants we've met through. [56:11] That's really a chance. [56:13] It's a great time to see him. [56:14] But he made this like branch out of the soap. [56:17] I wanted to get a new vehicle. [56:19] So this is Andy would get the new vehicle. [56:22] You can transfer the current truck to print when this vehicle will arrive. [56:27] It's a work truck, very similar to the one that Andy currently has right now. [56:34] And it would be up fit to have the truck boxes on the side. [56:39] I have the ladder rack on the top. [56:42] So it's a functional work truck just like he has right now. [56:46] So you can see the price for the truck. [56:47] government of pricing on state contract, basically $45, which is a credit [56:52] way for a food bank. That is way good. That's probably $80,000 a year. If you buy [56:58] it personally. And then to fit it with the service body, all the veins and stuff is [57:04] in addition to the team. So our price of these 58. So is this, I'll go pick it up if you want to [57:11] pay $7500 for that. Is this a four-door truck with a short bed? [57:17] What's that? Is this a fordorch with a regular regular bed? [57:20] It's not a full fordor thing. That's kind of the mini little door of the bed. [57:25] Yeah, instead of having like knees to have the open, then you haven't, not, I think it's just a short. [57:30] So it's kind of, almost an extent. [57:32] Is that a regular bed or a long bed? What, what, what, the Zandy prefer? [57:38] I would have thought it was a long. It's work truck, so it's not a long, long bed, [57:41] but it's not short bed either, so I think it's just a regular. [57:43] and I didn't want that to happen. [57:47] I will. [57:48] You can call out if you ever had. [57:50] I think that's going to the dealer. [57:52] Okay, all that might be known to the dealer. [57:54] Oh, I see. [57:55] Roked, there, though. [57:57] I think under this, the factory, too. [57:59] I know my roadship. [58:02] You'll drive, probably. [58:03] You'll go get it. [58:04] He's active. [58:05] He's in the middle of the city. [58:06] He's in the middle of the city. [58:07] He's in the middle of the city. [58:07] We're in the middle of the city. [58:10] This is from the manufacturer. [58:11] Okay, so I don't get it there. That's a sandwich. I'll actually enjoy that medicine. I remember I the most I can drive that [58:19] Dispicture that go back. He's driving bustle. I did that's a kid as well [58:25] So I don't think it's a long extended bed [58:31] I don't know exactly I sent the Sol and he and I said look through this all the specs to make sure [58:37] What he wants and he said yeah, I'll look I would actually be surprised [58:41] that he didn't want a long bed. [58:44] I'm going to give you a little bit of that. [58:46] This says up in the description, something requires long bed, model, and 17-inch wheels. [58:53] Pick up bed. [58:55] Oh, so grab in the next one down, Jake. [58:57] I'm going down. [58:58] Keep going down. [58:58] No, it's the floor. [59:00] It could be there. [59:01] Keep it going down. [59:01] What's the same? [59:02] It's the same company that's doing both things. [59:05] Oh, look. [59:05] He's this one. [59:06] Yeah, right there. [59:07] So. [59:08] Because what's this truck right now that he has a regular bed or a long bed? [59:13] It's got to be at least a six-foot if not long. [59:16] So six-foot's a regular bed, right? [59:19] What is this? [59:21] Huh? [59:21] Eight foot. [59:22] I thought eight foot. [59:23] Eight foot's a regular bed. [59:25] And ten-f. [59:26] That's their short bed. [59:27] Oh, that's right. [59:29] That's right. [59:30] Come on, Dan. [59:31] So what's your long bed? [59:32] We're talking about ten. [59:39] But they're both coming from young automobiles, but they're coming back to the art work, right? [59:46] Yeah. [59:46] And you know what I said when I told my meetings, like, all we just did one of these for, like, [59:50] Bountiful City or several of that for Bountiful City. [59:53] You said this should work. [59:55] Good for what you need. [59:56] So, but I didn't know if he wanted, I didn't know if he... [1:00:00] A certain red length for equipment and stuff. [1:00:10] You don't say 17, if we were right here. [1:00:15] That's 13 and a half feet long. [1:00:18] The whole truck. [1:00:23] That's an eight foot service body, right there. [1:00:25] Go down on one more. [1:00:26] There may go. [1:00:31] Right there. [1:00:32] Eight foot service body. [1:00:36] Was that good, Lonnie? [1:00:37] Eight foot. [1:00:38] That's your regular bed? [1:00:40] I think so. [1:00:47] Well, he's also in there a part of that. [1:00:49] He doesn't miss him. [1:00:50] I just didn't know what he would prefer. [1:00:54] I just didn't know what he would prefer. [1:00:55] I just didn't know what he would prefer. [1:00:56] I just didn't get what I would prefer. [1:00:58] He would have one of us. [1:00:59] We don't have one truck with a bed on it. [1:01:05] All right. [1:01:05] All right. [1:01:05] I'll make a motion that we approve the vehicle purchase. [1:01:08] We'll ticket it. [1:01:09] Okay. [1:01:10] Dave motions that we approve the vehicle purchase and [1:01:13] green seconds all in favor. [1:01:15] All right. [1:01:15] Any opposed?
