So anyone from the public

Nope. Okay. Consent agenda

and approval minutes of the May 12th meeting.

24
00:01:05,285 --> 00:01:07,245

on the May 12th meeting.

26
00:01:08,385 --> 00:01:11,205
Thanks, Jana. Second. A second.

27
00:01:14,935 --> 00:01:16,395
All right. Before we go into reports,

28
00:01:17,075 --> 00:01:20,755
I just wanna look at the board business is, I have one

29
00:01:20,755 --> 00:01:22,915
to add about the teacher appreciation lunch.

30
00:01:23,705 --> 00:01:24,835
Okay. That's coming up.

31
00:01:24,905 --> 00:01:27,235
Does anyone else have anything they wanna talk about

32
00:01:27,235 --> 00:01:28,555
that's not on the board business?

33
00:01:30,285 --> 00:01:32,265
No. Okay. And then let's start

34
00:01:32,265 --> 00:01:33,505
with our superintendent report.

35
00:01:35,065 --> 00:01:39,035
I hope, did everybody have a chance to have access to it?

36
00:01:39,035 --> 00:01:41,595
It worked and everything like that. Okay. 18.

37
00:01:44,945 --> 00:01:46,725
See if there's any highlights in here. 'cause we know

38
00:01:46,755 --> 00:01:48,725
Legislative update to today

39
00:01:48,725 --> 00:01:50,765
that you know about. Just touch on that.

40
00:01:51,265 --> 00:01:52,445
You're asking a great question.

41
00:01:52,665 --> 00:01:56,445
So we were just talking briefly off the line about timelines

42
00:01:56,445 --> 00:01:59,645
with regards to Hi Rita, timelines

43
00:02:00,145 --> 00:02:02,845
for study merger committee and,

44
00:02:02,845 --> 00:02:03,765
and how those are all put

45
00:02:03,885 --> 00:02:04,765
together and things of that nature.

46
00:02:05,635 --> 00:02:08,125
Each district that's in a, in a merger committee

47
00:02:08,225 --> 00:02:09,925
or merger group needs

48
00:02:09,925 --> 00:02:12,085
to have one representative from their board.

49
00:02:12,105 --> 00:02:15,645
And we've got until September 15th to make that decision.

50
00:02:17,305 --> 00:02:21,365
If we choose to look at a different merger committee,

51
00:02:21,945 --> 00:02:23,685
it just takes the vote of the board in

52
00:02:23,685 --> 00:02:24,765
a board meeting to do that.

53
00:02:25,385 --> 00:02:28,155
And from all arrows

54
00:02:28,175 --> 00:02:30,435
and pointing in the same direction of

55
00:02:30,435 --> 00:02:32,555
what I've been hearing from people is that we just need

56
00:02:32,555 --> 00:02:36,235
to ask the facilitator of whatever group that we would like

57
00:02:36,235 --> 00:02:38,275
to choose to be a part of,

58
00:02:38,615 --> 00:02:40,675
we would then be granted access to that committee.

59
00:02:41,815 --> 00:02:43,315
We can only be a part of one,

60
00:02:43,655 --> 00:02:45,915
but it, it doesn't say anything in the law about

61
00:02:45,915 --> 00:02:47,475
how many times you pull yourself out of one.

62
00:02:47,575 --> 00:02:49,395
So you might, you know,

63
00:02:50,615 --> 00:02:51,615
Go fishing.

64
00:02:51,615 --> 00:02:53,355
Yeah. So I'm saying now the, the,

65
00:02:53,355 --> 00:02:55,555
obviously I think there's some drawbacks with phishing is

66
00:02:55,655 --> 00:02:57,555
how serious of a partner are we when we get to

67
00:02:57,555 --> 00:03:00,445
that third chance, second chance, or what have you.

68
00:03:00,625 --> 00:03:02,525
As, as well as

69
00:03:02,525 --> 00:03:04,805
how much time is left in the actual study committee.

70
00:03:04,805 --> 00:03:07,685
Since there's only one year, we, we want to think about

71
00:03:07,685 --> 00:03:10,285
how much time in good faith effort we can as a,

72
00:03:10,365 --> 00:03:13,325
a district put in to the conversations

73
00:03:13,825 --> 00:03:17,525
and be able to be a part of those conversations. I guess,

74
00:03:18,125 --> 00:03:21,605
Do You know when, so I know by September we have to,

75
00:03:21,605 --> 00:03:24,965
you said we have to have a board member selected.

76
00:03:25,225 --> 00:03:28,985
Yep. Do you know when we have to, would have

77
00:03:28,985 --> 00:03:30,385
to decide which group?

78
00:03:30,575 --> 00:03:31,945
There's not a time. Yeah, it's a great question.

79
00:03:31,945 --> 00:03:33,385
That's been asked many times by many people.

80
00:03:33,385 --> 00:03:37,185
There, there has not been a timeframe of when you can just

81
00:03:38,095 --> 00:03:41,145
like, you have only until November to pull out,

82
00:03:41,145 --> 00:03:42,585
or January, march.

83
00:03:42,585 --> 00:03:44,385
There's been nothing like that.

84
00:03:44,525 --> 00:03:48,295
So I think there's some common sense to that,

85
00:03:48,315 --> 00:03:49,495
but there's also challenges to that.

86
00:03:49,495 --> 00:03:51,415
The common sense being, you could be going down so far down

87
00:03:51,415 --> 00:03:54,775
that path and you're just finally like, this is not working.

88
00:03:54,865 --> 00:03:56,775
We're kind of banging our heads against the wall here.

89
00:03:56,775 --> 00:03:58,655
We wanna try somebody else. Right.

90
00:03:58,715 --> 00:04:00,295
But that could be late in the process,

91
00:04:00,475 --> 00:04:02,135
but it's still the right decision to go with.

92
00:04:02,635 --> 00:04:05,095
But assuming, I'm just thinking about like community input

93
00:04:05,155 --> 00:04:07,895
and sort of like timeline for us for how, like when we get

94
00:04:07,895 --> 00:04:10,615
that, but assuming if you have to have someone assigned

95
00:04:10,615 --> 00:04:12,935
by mid-September, studies are gonna start

96
00:04:13,405 --> 00:04:14,405
October shortly.

97
00:04:14,405 --> 00:04:16,535
Yeah. Right after that First meeting. October mm,

98
00:04:16,745 --> 00:04:18,055
First week In October 1st.

99
00:04:18,185 --> 00:04:19,935
First meeting will be in October. Okay.

100
00:04:20,075 --> 00:04:23,055
So probably our goal should be by September when we choose

101
00:04:24,215 --> 00:04:26,415
a person to be representing us. We should also,

102
00:04:26,855 --> 00:04:28,935
I would offer that, you know, d

103
00:04:28,935 --> 00:04:30,975
and the board business is possible gathering

104
00:04:30,975 --> 00:04:32,175
of information from the community.

105
00:04:32,215 --> 00:04:33,975
We'll talk about how then Yeah.

106
00:04:34,595 --> 00:04:35,895
And then maybe put on a retreat,

107
00:04:35,895 --> 00:04:37,855
which is in August retreat, choosing someone.

108
00:04:38,085 --> 00:04:39,095
Yeah. Great.

109
00:04:41,285 --> 00:04:43,045
I think that's the most UpToDate

110
00:04:43,045 --> 00:04:44,165
information I have at this time.

111
00:04:44,665 --> 00:04:47,445
Thanks. Yep. Any questions of the superintendent

112
00:04:47,625 --> 00:04:49,605
or of the assistant superintendent report?

113
00:04:53,545 --> 00:04:58,035
Just, we had talked about Patty coming back about Yep.

114
00:04:58,175 --> 00:05:00,195
Of course. The third grade literacy performance.

115
00:05:00,255 --> 00:05:01,275
Do we, is there a way

116
00:05:01,275 --> 00:05:02,955
to get it broken down for just Twinfield?

117
00:05:03,585 --> 00:05:04,835
Yeah, we prob Well, you know,

118
00:05:04,835 --> 00:05:06,955
depending on the size of the cohort, maybe not. Right.

119
00:05:07,455 --> 00:05:09,915
That's 33rd Grade. We should be okay then.

120
00:05:10,425 --> 00:05:12,845
Good. Yeah. Great.

121
00:05:13,845 --> 00:05:15,715
Maybe she can just email that to us

122
00:05:15,815 --> 00:05:17,155
or should we have that at the retreat?

123
00:05:17,255 --> 00:05:18,555
If you'd like to. Yeah. Tell you what,

124
00:05:18,555 --> 00:05:21,155
why don't you email me exactly what you want.

125
00:05:22,025 --> 00:05:23,275
I'll communicate with Tabby

126
00:05:23,575 --> 00:05:24,795
and we can have it at the retreat.

127
00:05:25,185 --> 00:05:29,515
Okay. I can just briefly chime in here that the, if

128
00:05:29,515 --> 00:05:30,515
She's working or not.

129
00:05:30,515 --> 00:05:32,115

Wrapping up, doing things.

150
00:06:39,305 --> 00:06:42,745
I loved your girls on the run report. That was so awesome.

151
00:06:42,975 --> 00:06:44,065
That was really great.

152
00:06:44,175 --> 00:06:45,465
They went big. They had a really good

153
00:06:45,465 --> 00:06:46,465
Time.

154
00:06:46,465 --> 00:06:47,345
They like that they went big. Yeah.

155
00:06:47,705 --> 00:06:49,345
I need to shout out both third grade teachers

156
00:06:49,365 --> 00:06:50,465
who were there at the finish line.

157
00:06:51,605 --> 00:06:54,985
It absolutely made, I'll say the girls day,

158
00:06:54,985 --> 00:06:57,145
but it might have made my day as well. Nice.

159
00:06:57,405 --> 00:06:59,145
That's great. I Glad to hear that.

160
00:07:00,755 --> 00:07:02,775
And just as you're leaving the building,

161
00:07:02,905 --> 00:07:04,495
check out the artwork that's in the hall.

162
00:07:04,975 --> 00:07:07,855
I did, We have several events this week.

163
00:07:08,015 --> 00:07:11,545
A couple music events and then a middle school dance and

164
00:07:12,915 --> 00:07:13,915
Right.

165
00:07:13,915 --> 00:07:15,985
Kinda a dress up Laurel. Formal. Formal.

166
00:07:15,985 --> 00:07:18,425
That's what I thought. I like

167
00:07:18,425 --> 00:07:20,545
that tongue twister there. Alliteration of appeal.

168
00:07:20,905 --> 00:07:25,825
I feel proud. Our kids have done

169
00:07:25,825 --> 00:07:28,065
amazing work and it's nice that we get to show up.

170
00:07:28,525 --> 00:07:31,585
And it's tomorrow night five 30 to seven? Correct? Friday.

171
00:07:32,325 --> 00:07:33,325

00:07:33,765 --> 00:07:34,865

Oh right. And

176
00:07:45,355 --> 00:07:47,075
then the middle school dance.

177
00:07:50,425 --> 00:07:52,085

00:07:52,105 --> 00:07:56,405
And then Saturday is the good graduation. So bam, bam, bam.

179
00:07:56,455 --> 00:07:58,005
We're gonna do 'em all this week.

180
00:08:02,495 --> 00:08:04,795
You think we could just adjust the agenda for

181
00:08:04,935 --> 00:08:05,935
We will in just a moment.

182
00:08:06,025 --> 00:08:10,595
Welcome. It starts at one. What time do people usually come?

183
00:08:10,595 --> 00:08:14,275
12 30, 12 45. Somewhere in there. 1230. 1230. Okay.

184
00:08:15,265 --> 00:08:19,495
It's busy. Yeah. And it's in the gym. In the gym.

185
00:08:19,645 --> 00:08:22,175
Okay. We'll have seats on the court

186
00:08:22,355 --> 00:08:23,895
and also up the beachers.

187
00:08:24,735 --> 00:08:25,975
Fabulous. For graduation.

188
00:08:28,335 --> 00:08:30,035
Any quick questions of the principals?

189
00:08:32,295 --> 00:08:35,475
If not, we'll welcome Asa, who is spotlighting this evening

190
00:08:35,575 --> 00:08:38,875
as our honorable mention presenter.

191
00:08:39,575 --> 00:08:40,875
Who do you have? What's going on?

192
00:08:42,095 --> 00:08:42,315
So

193
00:08:48,165 --> 00:08:49,165
I did Hannah Newton

194
00:08:50,165 --> 00:08:52,385
and started out, I,

195
00:08:56,185 --> 00:08:57,605
so I had just walked into the office

196
00:08:57,945 --> 00:08:59,445
and was like, all right, who am I doing?

197
00:09:00,095 --> 00:09:03,915
Which led me to think that I feel like it should be more

198
00:09:03,915 --> 00:09:06,395
of a staff spotlight than an honorable mention

199
00:09:06,905 --> 00:09:11,075
because I feel like, like having it not be someone I knew

200
00:09:12,055 --> 00:09:13,835
and a random person, it didn't make sense

201
00:09:13,835 --> 00:09:14,995
to me as an honorable mention.

202
00:09:15,345 --> 00:09:17,955
Only because like, I don't know them.

203
00:09:17,955 --> 00:09:20,435
It was like, it was good to like meet someone new

204
00:09:20,435 --> 00:09:23,235
and have it be like a, so that's how I kind

205
00:09:23,235 --> 00:09:24,435
of thought of it in my head.

206
00:09:27,145 --> 00:09:32,025
And it was kind of a cool like twist of fate that I

207
00:09:33,495 --> 00:09:35,445
ended up interviewing Hannah

208
00:09:35,445 --> 00:09:40,155
because I only made it

209
00:09:40,155 --> 00:09:41,635
through ninth grade in school.

210
00:09:42,135 --> 00:09:43,675
And I'm someone that met

211
00:09:43,675 --> 00:09:45,915
with behavioral interventionalists a lot

212
00:09:47,395 --> 00:09:51,455
and it was one of the reasons why I am,

213
00:09:53,875 --> 00:09:57,255
why I want to be involved with my kids' school is

214
00:09:57,255 --> 00:09:59,655
because of a lot of things that didn't work for me.

215
00:10:02,405 --> 00:10:04,895
Just, I swear this is loading. I have my interview.

216
00:10:11,965 --> 00:10:16,105
Are you connected to the wifi? I think it's like a guest.

217
00:10:16,245 --> 00:10:16,865
We just slid

218
00:10:24,185 --> 00:10:25,725
What's Hannah Newton's official title?

219
00:10:26,985 --> 00:10:28,505
Behavior method? She's, yeah,

220
00:10:29,725 --> 00:10:31,705
she works primarily with middle high school.

221
00:10:31,975 --> 00:10:34,785
Okay. And has been stretching her wings with tiny humans.

222
00:10:36,025 --> 00:10:37,785
I like that. Stretching humans.

223
00:10:38,965 --> 00:10:40,705
You hear that she's getting that little kid

224
00:10:40,765 --> 00:10:41,825
and the older care,

225
00:10:42,935 --> 00:10:46,025
Because we implementary interventionists as well

226
00:10:46,405 --> 00:10:48,305
and we don't have one now she's doing both

227
00:10:48,365 --> 00:10:50,865
or just she teams with Nikki quite a bit.

228
00:10:51,015 --> 00:10:55,785
Okay, cool. There's just been more. Okay.

229
00:10:56,325 --> 00:10:57,905
Recent three months. And

230
00:10:57,905 --> 00:10:59,625
If we can help with the, when they're younger,

231
00:11:05,445 --> 00:11:07,465
If you can't find it, I will find it.

232
00:11:07,765 --> 00:11:10,395
You have a path to present

233
00:11:10,395 --> 00:11:11,915
to us at the retreat if you want True.

234
00:11:12,015 --> 00:11:14,675
To be a silly drive down right now. But we can push it on.

235
00:11:15,175 --> 00:11:16,835
If you guys wanna skip to the next agenda.

236
00:11:17,675 --> 00:11:18,835
I can figure this. Done.

237
00:11:19,025 --> 00:11:20,515
Done Student services report

238
00:11:24,485 --> 00:11:26,945
and we'll talk about anything on this page.

239
00:11:32,725 --> 00:11:35,705
Is there any stress around not receiving this id,

240
00:11:36,005 --> 00:11:37,145
id or B grant,

241
00:11:37,405 --> 00:11:38,425
IDB grant will be reviewed.

242
00:11:38,515 --> 00:11:42,945
We've not received Or grant, I don't think that's an no.

243
00:11:43,205 --> 00:11:43,545
Not that

244
00:11:53,335 --> 00:11:55,905
medical or making skill based services

245
00:11:57,365 --> 00:11:59,145
really is gonna benefit the su.

246
00:11:59,295 --> 00:12:02,785
Yeah. I'm just gonna double the amount of revenue we have.

247
00:12:03,855 --> 00:12:08,565
Yeah. From like two, two

248
00:12:08,565 --> 00:12:10,485
and half to 500,000 if you hadn't heard.

249
00:12:11,105 --> 00:12:12,685
No, I hasn't done what? Yeah. Yeah.

250
00:12:12,765 --> 00:12:16,925
Ellie and co-director sat in on a, A training on that.

251
00:12:20,135 --> 00:12:21,155
How about the pre-K?

252
00:12:21,415 --> 00:12:25,235
The A OE is opening up applications and we've applied.

253
00:12:25,815 --> 00:12:28,195
But does that mean there'll be more bodies in the school

254
00:12:28,215 --> 00:12:29,995
or that our staff are gonna get more training?

255
00:12:30,025 --> 00:12:32,075
More training. Okay. Hmm.

256
00:12:33,275 --> 00:12:35,495
Or goal is to have a, a good MKSS process.

257
00:12:35,705 --> 00:12:37,375
pre-K through 12 and then the state

258
00:12:37,375 --> 00:12:38,655
offered this as an opportunity.

259
00:12:39,085 --> 00:12:40,085
Welo on.

260
00:12:40,985 --> 00:12:45,055
Okay. Alright.

261
00:12:45,285 --> 00:12:48,775
Student services report. Moving back.

262
00:12:48,955 --> 00:12:50,295
I'd say learn about Hannah Newton.

263
00:12:51,285 --> 00:12:52,745
All right. So the first question was,

264
00:12:52,935 --> 00:12:54,665
what do you enjoy most about working with

265
00:12:56,105 --> 00:12:57,105
Students?

266
00:12:57,105 --> 00:12:58,825
Building connections and being someone they can

267
00:12:58,825 --> 00:13:00,025
talk to and seek guidance.

268
00:13:00,135 --> 00:13:03,145
Whether that's for stuff at school or at home

269
00:13:03,485 --> 00:13:05,025
and being a person they can come to.

270
00:13:07,225 --> 00:13:09,505
Question two. Can you describe a moment when you felt you

271
00:13:09,505 --> 00:13:11,305
made a meaningful difference in a student's life?

272
00:13:12,345 --> 00:13:14,045
A Few weeks ago, middle school

273
00:13:14,105 --> 00:13:16,525
and high school did a mental health training slash

274
00:13:16,595 --> 00:13:17,765
suicide prevention training.

275
00:13:18,225 --> 00:13:20,485
One of my middle school students wrote me a really nice note

276
00:13:20,485 --> 00:13:21,725
thanking me for being there for them.

277
00:13:24,005 --> 00:13:25,025
How do you build trust

278
00:13:25,045 --> 00:13:26,745
and positive relationships with students?

279
00:13:27,195 --> 00:13:28,585
Being patient and understanding

280
00:13:28,685 --> 00:13:30,385
and making 'em feel important and validated.

281
00:13:30,495 --> 00:13:31,665
Also giving 'em structure.

282
00:13:33,645 --> 00:13:35,225
How do you collaborate with teachers

283
00:13:35,225 --> 00:13:37,305
and other school staff to help students succeed?

284
00:13:38,555 --> 00:13:39,895
We come up with behavior plans

285
00:13:39,915 --> 00:13:41,895
and work with teachers to give positive breaks.

286
00:13:42,335 --> 00:13:43,615
I also have a space in my room

287
00:13:43,615 --> 00:13:46,255
where if students can't be in the classroom, can't focus

288
00:13:46,355 --> 00:13:47,815
or do their work will come to me

289
00:13:47,835 --> 00:13:49,535
and I will hard alleviate some of that stress.

290
00:13:50,245 --> 00:13:53,285
What is one challenge you faced in your role

291
00:13:53,425 --> 00:13:54,605
and how did you overcome it?

292
00:13:55,565 --> 00:13:56,865
Not taking things personally.

293
00:13:57,545 --> 00:13:59,185
Remembering I'm not the problem.

294
00:13:59,705 --> 00:14:02,425
Whatever is going on with my students is beyond me

295
00:14:02,525 --> 00:14:04,545
and they're all going through their own problems at

296
00:14:04,545 --> 00:14:05,625
home or with themselves.

297
00:14:07,235 --> 00:14:08,935
How do you encourage, encourage students

298
00:14:08,935 --> 00:14:11,535
who are struggling emotionally talk to someone.

299
00:14:11,645 --> 00:14:13,695
There's always someone here that wants to talk to them

300
00:14:13,695 --> 00:14:15,935
and wants to help making sure they know they're cared

301
00:14:15,955 --> 00:14:17,135
for by everyone in this building.

302
00:14:18,845 --> 00:14:21,295
What qualities do you believe make you

303
00:14:21,295 --> 00:14:22,335
effective in your role?

304
00:14:23,095 --> 00:14:26,885
Patience and empathy. How have your students taught

305
00:14:26,885 --> 00:14:28,165
or inspired you over the years?

306
00:14:28,665 --> 00:14:31,205
To be myself and not take things so seriously all the time.

307
00:14:33,915 --> 00:14:36,445
What do you think is the most misunderstood

308
00:14:36,585 --> 00:14:37,885
aspect of your role?

309
00:14:38,645 --> 00:14:40,095
That I can be everywhere at once.

310
00:14:42,515 --> 00:14:44,615
How do you continue to grow and develop professionally?

311
00:14:45,245 --> 00:14:47,255
Getting feedback from the kids that I work with.

312
00:14:47,365 --> 00:14:50,215
Also taking part in professional development, both online

313
00:14:50,315 --> 00:14:52,565
and collaborating with folks that have been in my role.

314
00:14:52,855 --> 00:14:54,645
Nikki has been a really great resource

315
00:14:54,645 --> 00:14:55,885
to go to for help and guidance.

316
00:14:58,095 --> 00:15:00,635
Is there anything that staff slash administration could do

317
00:15:00,635 --> 00:15:02,475
to help you to continue to develop

318
00:15:03,105 --> 00:15:04,555
more support throughout the building?

319
00:15:04,865 --> 00:15:06,115
More backup slash help.

320
00:15:06,435 --> 00:15:08,235
Creating hard lines and boundaries for students.

321
00:15:09,725 --> 00:15:11,935
What motivates you to give your best each day?

322
00:15:12,115 --> 00:15:13,695
The kids they need me

323
00:15:14,735 --> 00:15:16,155
or at least a strong person in

324
00:15:16,155 --> 00:15:17,195
the building to be there for them.

325
00:15:18,455 --> 00:15:19,825
What message would you like parents,

326
00:15:20,145 --> 00:15:21,705
students in the community to know

327
00:15:22,275 --> 00:15:23,425
about the work that you do?

328
00:15:24,025 --> 00:15:25,465
Hmm. That their kids are cared for

329
00:15:25,605 --> 00:15:27,105
and that they have someone that is there for them

330
00:15:27,165 --> 00:15:29,425
and supports them a hundred, 110%

331
00:15:29,485 --> 00:15:31,705
and is always looking out for their best interest.

332
00:15:34,215 --> 00:15:35,795
And that was my interview. That's

333
00:15:35,795 --> 00:15:36,795
Great.

334
00:15:36,795 --> 00:15:37,955
Excellent. You asked great questions.

335
00:15:37,955 --> 00:15:39,875
You did really great question.

336
00:15:44,095 --> 00:15:45,765
Thank you. I'd love

337
00:15:45,765 --> 00:15:47,725
to have you stick around for just a moment.

338
00:15:47,945 --> 00:15:50,565
Get rid of this sheet. We move on to board business.

339
00:15:50,565 --> 00:15:53,165
We're gonna do number E first, the board retreat agenda

340
00:15:53,225 --> 00:15:56,085
so you can get any input from a sub.

341
00:15:57,705 --> 00:16:02,285
So I just kind of mocked up something to start with.

342
00:16:03,565 --> 00:16:06,005
A retreat theme possibility is celebrating Twinfield

343
00:16:06,065 --> 00:16:08,405
and what we have here right next year is really gonna be

344
00:16:08,405 --> 00:16:12,485
about highlighting what we have going on

345
00:16:12,665 --> 00:16:16,725
and come conversing with our neighboring boards

346
00:16:17,245 --> 00:16:18,245
to talk about the future.

347
00:16:18,845 --> 00:16:21,825
So how thought that would be good place to start.

348
00:16:22,605 --> 00:16:26,385
And then we'll just kind of, it'll be a full meeting.

349
00:16:27,145 --> 00:16:29,385
We'll be a Zoom for the public and in person.

350
00:16:30,045 --> 00:16:31,265
So we'll do our introductions.

351
00:16:31,595 --> 00:16:33,505
She's a facilitator, scribe, and time check.

352
00:16:34,165 --> 00:16:36,705
So Sarah Lyons from Public Assets.

353
00:16:37,065 --> 00:16:39,985
I met at a Jacob with presentation a few weeks ago

354
00:16:40,845 --> 00:16:45,185
and she offered Jack and Janet his last name again.

355
00:16:45,375 --> 00:16:48,025
Hoffman. Hoffman who used to be the chair of this board.

356
00:16:48,855 --> 00:16:52,665
What do you think? 30 years ago? 2020? I don't know.

357
00:16:52,845 --> 00:16:54,065
You don't know? Okay. Maybe 20.

358
00:16:55,365 --> 00:16:56,505
And I had asked her, you know, what

359
00:16:56,505 --> 00:16:57,665
would the presentation be?

360
00:16:58,135 --> 00:17:00,225
They had started to talk about the foundation formula

361
00:17:01,335 --> 00:17:02,995
and how it wasn't what they were pushing

362
00:17:03,055 --> 00:17:04,235
for in the legislature,

363
00:17:04,775 --> 00:17:07,155
but they didn't really go into exactly what it would be

364
00:17:07,155 --> 00:17:08,395
because I didn't know at that time.

365
00:17:10,295 --> 00:17:13,475
So Sarah wrote back as to what exactly we can compile

366
00:17:13,475 --> 00:17:15,315
that is specific to Marshfield and Plainfield.

367
00:17:15,795 --> 00:17:18,195
I can't say with certainty before today this meeting,

368
00:17:18,255 --> 00:17:21,235
but we have discussed pulling together per pupil spending

369
00:17:21,595 --> 00:17:24,795
property income rates for the last 14 years along with

370
00:17:24,795 --> 00:17:26,395
what has happened with property values

371
00:17:27,415 --> 00:17:29,755
and kind of matching them to just see

372
00:17:30,095 --> 00:17:31,395
how our budget has gone.

373
00:17:31,655 --> 00:17:35,675
You know, we're gonna really find comb our finances

374
00:17:35,775 --> 00:17:38,795
as we talk with other boards and sus

375
00:17:39,015 --> 00:17:42,835
and so this would just be kind of a breakdown of

376
00:17:42,835 --> 00:17:45,875
where we're coming from so we all have the knowledge

377
00:17:46,055 --> 00:17:48,395
before we go forth and really kind

378
00:17:48,395 --> 00:17:52,725
of create whatever the future's gonna bring.

379
00:17:54,485 --> 00:17:58,005
So do we know that that's how it's gonna be?

380
00:17:58,555 --> 00:17:59,765
That we have to know that

381
00:18:00,475 --> 00:18:01,885
They're gonna be asking us for

382
00:18:01,885 --> 00:18:03,085
that information? Probably.

383
00:18:03,475 --> 00:18:05,765
Okay. I think it's a good place for public assets

384
00:18:05,785 --> 00:18:06,845
to start, is something

385
00:18:06,845 --> 00:18:08,525
that Sarah offered when I spoke to her.

386
00:18:08,705 --> 00:18:13,085
Yep. We can also ask them to talk about other topics.

387
00:18:13,145 --> 00:18:14,885
So no, I think this is important.

388
00:18:14,915 --> 00:18:17,085
Yeah, I mean I think this is important if we're gonna

389
00:18:17,085 --> 00:18:19,205
understand to really understand deeply,

390
00:18:19,795 --> 00:18:22,645
because I have a, I have trouble with it every year.

391
00:18:23,525 --> 00:18:25,695
Whatever. I don't mean everything

392
00:18:27,335 --> 00:18:30,055
Keep, they keep changing the methodology Yeah.

393
00:18:30,085 --> 00:18:32,055
Over the last five years.

394
00:18:32,405 --> 00:18:33,855
Sure. And, and how that helps

395
00:18:33,855 --> 00:18:36,055
with our negotiation with other schools.

396
00:18:36,355 --> 00:18:37,455
You know, what does that mean?

397
00:18:38,415 --> 00:18:40,545
Does it mean that this is what we bring to the table,

398
00:18:41,165 --> 00:18:43,155
you know, and,

399
00:18:43,335 --> 00:18:46,815
and this how kind of the,

400
00:18:48,035 --> 00:18:50,295
how flexible if then, you know,

401
00:18:50,635 --> 00:18:52,735
our per pupil spending has changed based on

402
00:18:52,735 --> 00:18:54,895
what the state has done, but also what we're doing here

403
00:18:55,475 --> 00:18:58,855
and then how with the CLA, you know,

404
00:18:58,955 --> 00:19:02,975
and the property tax a values changing, how has it affected

405
00:19:03,235 --> 00:19:05,495
how much percentage we've gone each year.

406
00:19:06,155 --> 00:19:08,135
And so it's really just, you know, if they brought

407
00:19:08,135 --> 00:19:11,535
that chart and we saw it, we could ask Jack to also

408
00:19:12,205 --> 00:19:14,335
talk about something else.

409
00:19:14,475 --> 00:19:17,485
If you have something in mind, tell me now

410
00:19:17,545 --> 00:19:18,845
so I can write it back to Sarah.

411
00:19:18,995 --> 00:19:21,245
Well, I'm also interested in, I don't know, I,

412
00:19:22,425 --> 00:19:24,725
I'm interested in what our current goals are

413
00:19:24,905 --> 00:19:28,605
and are we revisiting our goals to identify whether

414
00:19:28,605 --> 00:19:30,765
or not we need, need to make any kind

415
00:19:30,765 --> 00:19:33,965
of adjustment given what's at our door right now,

416
00:19:34,775 --> 00:19:37,125
which is this whole level of change.

417
00:19:38,905 --> 00:19:41,685
But the current goals of, to as a whole,

418
00:19:41,785 --> 00:19:43,085
the board, our board.

419
00:19:43,155 --> 00:19:46,285
Okay. Our board goals and what is it that we need to know

420
00:19:46,345 --> 00:19:48,645
and be able to do in order to satisfy,

421
00:19:50,105 --> 00:19:51,645
You're asking the right question is

422
00:19:51,645 --> 00:19:54,125
what do you guys wanna focus on for the year one?

423
00:19:55,265 --> 00:19:58,685
One suggestion I have is as we build the, the budget, what,

424
00:19:58,685 --> 00:19:59,725
what are some of the core things

425
00:19:59,725 --> 00:20:01,845
that you guys wanna focus on for the budget?

426
00:20:02,105 --> 00:20:04,005
You know, is there changes to, to staffing?

427
00:20:04,005 --> 00:20:06,445
Of course it's a conversation with the admin team as well,

428
00:20:08,105 --> 00:20:12,325
as well as John's expertise on where we're going with

429
00:20:13,185 --> 00:20:17,895
the oh, the cap, the excess spending threshold.

430
00:20:17,915 --> 00:20:19,735
And you know, I'm assuming it's a goal for us

431
00:20:19,735 --> 00:20:22,015
that we would wanna stay under the threshold.

432
00:20:22,205 --> 00:20:23,775
Yeah. But those are the kind of things

433
00:20:23,775 --> 00:20:25,615
that would be important I think, to discuss at

434
00:20:25,615 --> 00:20:26,695
that meeting as well.

435
00:20:27,095 --> 00:20:28,815
It could happen later, but if we've got time there

436
00:20:28,815 --> 00:20:30,095
to reflect on it, think about it

437
00:20:30,095 --> 00:20:32,775
and go, if you think about it, the,

438
00:20:33,275 --> 00:20:34,495
and I think we've said this before,

439
00:20:34,595 --> 00:20:38,295
the the budget is a financial plan to bring to fruition

440
00:20:38,295 --> 00:20:39,335
what you wanna see in the school.

441
00:20:39,515 --> 00:20:40,775
So if you think about

442
00:20:40,845 --> 00:20:45,125
what it is you wanna see in the school, whatever it is,

443
00:20:45,265 --> 00:20:48,965
you know, I know Hannah just talked about what she's looking

444
00:20:48,985 --> 00:20:50,485
for in support for the school.

445
00:20:51,065 --> 00:20:52,685
I'm sure our, our administrators

446
00:20:52,685 --> 00:20:56,245
and teachers have some thoughts on ideas and maybe,

447
00:20:56,395 --> 00:20:57,395
Yeah.

448
00:20:57,395 --> 00:20:59,165
The other, that other thing is, I would like

449
00:20:59,165 --> 00:21:02,005
to hear from both of you about what you think needs

450
00:21:02,005 --> 00:21:04,085
to happen around diversity and inclusion

451
00:21:04,185 --> 00:21:05,845
and equity or in a good place.

452
00:21:06,145 --> 00:21:08,965
Is there a ground firm? You know, where do we need to go

453
00:21:09,065 --> 00:21:11,405
to strengthen students school?

454
00:21:13,435 --> 00:21:15,525
Well, if you look down there is that superintendent,

455
00:21:15,525 --> 00:21:17,005
principal update and then some topics

456
00:21:17,145 --> 00:21:18,525
to talk about with them.

457
00:21:21,165 --> 00:21:23,655
Just kind of a little bit off topic,

458
00:21:23,795 --> 00:21:28,475
but along with, with the public asset presentation,

459
00:21:29,035 --> 00:21:33,965
someone asked me like two months ago, you know,

460
00:21:34,035 --> 00:21:36,925
what our staff to student ratio was five years ago,

461
00:21:37,105 --> 00:21:38,525
10 years ago, 15 and 20.

462
00:21:39,005 --> 00:21:40,805
I had no idea. So I sat there and we looked it up together.

463
00:21:41,545 --> 00:21:43,525
We pretty much been consistent. Yeah.

464
00:21:43,815 --> 00:21:46,085
Throughout The last like 25 years. You

465
00:21:46,085 --> 00:21:47,645
Gotta feel pretty good about that. Like

466
00:21:47,645 --> 00:21:48,645
Impressive.

467
00:21:48,645 --> 00:21:49,525
Haven't changed up or down

468
00:21:49,635 --> 00:21:51,165
Even more than 25 years.

469
00:21:51,435 --> 00:21:53,165
Yeah, I, as far out as we went.

470
00:21:53,905 --> 00:21:55,925
No, I'm just saying my son is 45

471
00:21:56,025 --> 00:21:58,165
and he had a graduating class of 25.

472
00:21:58,985 --> 00:22:00,965
But I mean like the, the, they were assuming

473
00:22:00,965 --> 00:22:04,125
that the staff to teacher ratio had gone up significantly

474
00:22:04,125 --> 00:22:05,725
because our budget's gone up so much.

475
00:22:06,625 --> 00:22:10,965
But it's really, that ratio hasn't meaningfully changed.

476
00:22:10,965 --> 00:22:15,885
Yeah, yeah. Minus one or two over the years. But that's

477
00:22:15,885 --> 00:22:16,885
Good to know.

478
00:22:16,885 --> 00:22:19,205
That's very, have that information like

479
00:22:20,175 --> 00:22:21,985
Some of that maybe presenting some of

480
00:22:21,985 --> 00:22:23,505
that stuff to the public when we

481
00:22:24,135 --> 00:22:25,345
Yeah, do, yeah.

482
00:22:25,365 --> 00:22:29,665
That's good. I I think also the non-negotiables, I mean, so

483
00:22:29,665 --> 00:22:31,865
that the public really understands what's happening

484
00:22:31,865 --> 00:22:35,785
with healthcare and those kinds of high cost issues

485
00:22:35,785 --> 00:22:37,825
That we don't really, We have no control over

486
00:22:40,865 --> 00:22:42,505
C we don't have any control Over.

487
00:22:45,985 --> 00:22:47,945
Anything else that you'd like to talk about at the retreat?

488
00:22:49,205 --> 00:22:52,485
I guess I wanna just like talk about that the, the,

489
00:22:52,505 --> 00:22:55,645
the merger merging idea and also people coming to us.

490
00:22:55,785 --> 00:22:57,205
So like I feel like that may be,

491
00:22:57,795 --> 00:23:00,845
haven't been talked about enough of like we're talking about

492
00:23:00,845 --> 00:23:02,245
where we're going, but I'd like

493
00:23:02,245 --> 00:23:04,805
to make sure we're talking about people coming here

494
00:23:05,145 --> 00:23:07,605
and does anybody kind of knocking on, well,

495
00:23:07,605 --> 00:23:09,365
well we can invite people to come here.

496
00:23:10,685 --> 00:23:11,805
I just wanna make sure that's not getting

497
00:23:11,805 --> 00:23:12,885
lost in the conversation.

498
00:23:12,915 --> 00:23:15,485
That that is a part of the, part

499
00:23:15,485 --> 00:23:17,485
of the possible I think idea.

500
00:23:17,665 --> 00:23:21,005
That's a very good point and I, I think that, yeah, I, I,

501
00:23:21,785 --> 00:23:24,855
you know, that might be part of the, one

502
00:23:24,855 --> 00:23:27,615
of the agenda items is the communication plan for us

503
00:23:27,875 --> 00:23:30,095
as we go through the merger study.

504
00:23:30,355 --> 00:23:33,535
How, who and how are we sharing information

505
00:23:33,565 --> 00:23:34,735
with community members

506
00:23:34,755 --> 00:23:37,415
and as well as only sharing it, hopefully receiving

507
00:23:37,595 --> 00:23:40,015
as you said and input from them as well.

508
00:23:40,325 --> 00:23:44,635
Yeah. I don't know if this is its own topic

509
00:23:44,635 --> 00:23:47,615
Necessarily, but just I really, I really like the theme

510
00:23:47,675 --> 00:23:50,295
of celebrating twin field, both

511
00:23:50,315 --> 00:23:51,815
for the retreat and for the year.

512
00:23:52,285 --> 00:23:55,095
Because I think it's really important as we have

513
00:23:56,255 --> 00:24:00,025
conversations about the future to highlight

514
00:24:00,975 --> 00:24:04,725
both what we have and what we celebrate

515
00:24:04,825 --> 00:24:06,285
and what is amazing about twinfield.

516
00:24:06,485 --> 00:24:07,925
'cause there's lots on that list

517
00:24:09,465 --> 00:24:13,005
as we are having these conversations with other schools,

518
00:24:13,325 --> 00:24:16,645
districts, whatever, about whether it's influx of kids here

519
00:24:16,905 --> 00:24:18,805
or students leaving here

520
00:24:18,865 --> 00:24:22,005
and like, so that people can really see the full picture

521
00:24:22,945 --> 00:24:24,765
of what that means, right?

522
00:24:24,765 --> 00:24:26,565
Like obviously if we had a bunch of people come here,

523
00:24:27,485 --> 00:24:29,405
students, that's gonna change

524
00:24:30,185 --> 00:24:32,045
the very small community that we have.

525
00:24:32,505 --> 00:24:34,245
But, so just celebrating the things that we have,

526
00:24:34,265 --> 00:24:38,285
but also looking at how bringing students here

527
00:24:38,305 --> 00:24:41,925
or sending students out could also be beneficial.

528
00:24:43,065 --> 00:24:45,045
So that again, we have like the full picture

529
00:24:47,045 --> 00:24:51,755
because I think this, the conversation that, you know,

530
00:24:52,365 --> 00:24:53,835
feels very divisive,

531
00:24:53,835 --> 00:24:56,515
but I think if we can be looking at the whole picture,

532
00:24:57,675 --> 00:24:58,675
I know hopefully that can help.

533
00:24:58,925 --> 00:24:59,955
Great. You'll be leading

534
00:25:00,215 --> 00:25:01,635
and facilitating that session

535
00:25:02,095 --> 00:25:03,995
during our discussion. Thanks ra.

536
00:25:04,065 --> 00:25:05,995
I'll think about it. That's kind of under the,

537
00:25:05,995 --> 00:25:07,195
regarding twinfield options.

538
00:25:07,625 --> 00:25:11,435
Like what are our options in out and Yeah.

539
00:25:12,845 --> 00:25:14,265
Oh yes. Who do we wanna talk to

540
00:25:14,325 --> 00:25:16,785
and who do we wanna invite in or who do we wanna seek out?

541
00:25:16,855 --> 00:25:19,425
Yeah, it's all of that. Right.

542
00:25:19,465 --> 00:25:21,665
I like what Sarah said, you know, about

543
00:25:22,325 --> 00:25:24,625
who are we inviting in, you know,

544
00:25:24,625 --> 00:25:26,185
because when we think about options,

545
00:25:26,405 --> 00:25:27,825
it feels like it goes out.

546
00:25:28,865 --> 00:25:31,305
I think that also is in the divide, right?

547
00:25:31,365 --> 00:25:35,705
If we stay with CCSU, we try to invite cabinet in, right?

548
00:25:35,705 --> 00:25:37,465
Which is what we did with the conversation.

549
00:25:37,935 --> 00:25:41,585
However, if we do go towards central Vermont

550
00:25:41,605 --> 00:25:45,785
and join a bigger SU there, then we're on the outskirts

551
00:25:45,925 --> 00:25:47,865
and I don't know who we invite in.

552
00:25:47,865 --> 00:25:50,025
Right. And so that's gonna have to be part

553
00:25:50,025 --> 00:25:51,305
of this conversation too, right?

554
00:25:52,075 --> 00:25:54,085
Feel like there should also be the, if

555
00:25:54,185 --> 00:25:58,505
that's the direction we go, there's like, there's the fact

556
00:25:58,505 --> 00:25:59,665
that Marshfield

557
00:25:59,665 --> 00:26:02,065
and Plainfield might not wanna go in the same direction.

558
00:26:02,725 --> 00:26:06,105
That's possible too. Is that an option? I

559
00:26:06,105 --> 00:26:08,465
Don't think they can take.

560
00:26:08,895 --> 00:26:10,865
Yeah, I don't think you can separate at this point.

561
00:26:10,865 --> 00:26:12,385
It's almost like there's a moratorium.

562
00:26:12,645 --> 00:26:13,825
We can't dissolve Glenfield.

563
00:26:14,145 --> 00:26:15,265
I don't think so at this point.

564
00:26:16,025 --> 00:26:18,305
I have an excellent campus and building where that,

565
00:26:18,425 --> 00:26:20,665
I won't say if we were mer like if we were

566
00:26:20,665 --> 00:26:21,825
merging though and leaving,

567
00:26:23,365 --> 00:26:24,365
It wouldn't be though.

568
00:26:24,365 --> 00:26:26,425
Everybody in the building. I don't think it would just be

569
00:26:26,425 --> 00:26:27,705
middle and high on maybe just,

570
00:26:28,415 --> 00:26:32,335
Yeah, I think a big part of Act 73

571
00:26:32,515 --> 00:26:35,895
and H 9 55 is still like local elementary schools.

572
00:26:35,925 --> 00:26:38,615
Yeah. So that's, that isn't a change

573
00:26:38,615 --> 00:26:39,855
that most people are talking about,

574
00:26:40,265 --> 00:26:41,265
Right?

575
00:26:41,265 --> 00:26:41,725
Yeah.

576
00:26:42,355 --> 00:26:43,725
So local elementary,

577
00:26:45,165 --> 00:26:48,285
I think they say, was it centralized?

578
00:26:48,305 --> 00:26:50,765
I'm trying to think of central, regional, centralized,

579
00:26:50,765 --> 00:26:52,725
middle, and then regional high schools.

580
00:26:52,875 --> 00:26:54,445
Yeah. Yeah.

581
00:26:54,725 --> 00:26:57,925
I wonder if there's the school choice option for students

582
00:26:58,745 --> 00:27:02,245
who didn't wanna go to U 32 or Ular, wherever.

583
00:27:02,305 --> 00:27:04,125
If we, if we merge in that direction,

584
00:27:04,475 --> 00:27:08,645
that would be an appealing to give up a spot

585
00:27:08,645 --> 00:27:11,525
that U 32 might be an easier thing for someone

586
00:27:11,825 --> 00:27:13,045
to do school choice wise.

587
00:27:13,625 --> 00:27:14,765
I'm not totally either. Yeah.

588
00:27:14,765 --> 00:27:17,125
This is all great conversation, right? Yeah.

589
00:27:17,125 --> 00:27:19,445
This is what we're gonna talk about at the retreat.

590
00:27:20,385 --> 00:27:24,125
I'm proposing Saturday, August 15th. Nine nine. Go.

591
00:27:24,445 --> 00:27:26,045
I, I'm going outta town that weekend.

592
00:27:26,395 --> 00:27:27,605
That weekend you're going outta town.

593
00:27:28,025 --> 00:27:29,125
All right, what's your next proposal?

594
00:27:29,565 --> 00:27:30,885
I, I guess I assumed

595
00:27:31,075 --> 00:27:34,125
that we would do the retreat on the same time as our fifth.

596
00:27:34,945 --> 00:27:36,565
We had talked about that, but I think

597
00:27:36,565 --> 00:27:39,485
that this warrants a little bit longer.

598
00:27:39,955 --> 00:27:43,675
Okay. Could you, could folks do that Tuesday

599
00:27:44,935 --> 00:27:47,675
but make it like Tuesday the 11th?

600
00:27:48,235 --> 00:27:49,715
I got something I

601
00:27:49,715 --> 00:27:50,715
Already have.

602
00:27:50,715 --> 00:27:52,995
You have something now? Well, Tuesday 11th I got,

603
00:27:52,995 --> 00:27:54,635
we we already have a board meeting scheduled there.

604
00:27:54,735 --> 00:27:56,395
Two, six to eight. So that's okay.

605
00:27:56,465 --> 00:27:58,235
I've got two board meetings on the 10th

606
00:27:58,975 --> 00:28:01,115
So I could do a longer meeting on that day.

607
00:28:01,405 --> 00:28:03,555
Other people could get it. Yeah.

608
00:28:03,655 --> 00:28:04,835
So if we stuck to the 11th

609
00:28:04,975 --> 00:28:08,005
and we did, can we do start at four?

610
00:28:08,395 --> 00:28:12,345
Yeah, I could do that. We can start whenever.

611
00:28:12,815 --> 00:28:15,065
Rita, can you hear us? Would could

612
00:28:15,635 --> 00:28:17,135
you do a four on a Tuesday?

613
00:28:17,685 --> 00:28:21,635
Four o'clock? Yes.

614
00:28:21,875 --> 00:28:26,235
I think that should be fine. Thank. Sorry. Great. Thank you.

615
00:28:26,495 --> 00:28:28,195
Not be able to do that. I want you there.

616
00:28:29,425 --> 00:28:30,165
You said nine to,

617
00:28:30,605 --> 00:28:31,855
what was the originally, you said nine to one.

618
00:28:31,895 --> 00:28:35,735
I think it said four hours. So we said four

619
00:28:35,755 --> 00:28:37,535
to we start at four, right?

620
00:28:37,795 --> 00:28:39,895
Yep. And we'll have dinner at six 30.

621
00:28:40,385 --> 00:28:41,815
Maybe we'll make that six

622
00:28:43,005 --> 00:28:47,765
and then then shut

623
00:28:47,795 --> 00:28:49,525
with superintendent principal.

624
00:28:50,735 --> 00:28:53,805
Katie shared with me today that if you folks want meals,

625
00:28:53,805 --> 00:28:57,375
please pick a restaurant so we can get stuff

626
00:28:58,155 --> 00:28:59,155
Set for there.

627
00:28:59,155 --> 00:29:00,175
There's the dinner place right there. Right

628
00:29:00,305 --> 00:29:01,735
There Is if you'd like to do that.

629
00:29:02,105 --> 00:29:03,295
Three parents? Yeah.

630
00:29:03,485 --> 00:29:05,435
Okay. Oh, they're great.

631
00:29:05,855 --> 00:29:07,795
We know disagreements

632
00:29:07,865 --> 00:29:09,835
because we would be going to

633
00:29:10,535 --> 00:29:13,115
the central office in the big community.

634
00:29:13,595 --> 00:29:15,795
A sushi sandwich is really best.

635
00:29:16,445 --> 00:29:19,795
We'll have Katie send us the menu and we'll all choose.

636
00:29:21,405 --> 00:29:24,105
So if our theme is celebrating twinfield in the

637
00:29:24,105 --> 00:29:27,865
discussion, I think everyone should come to the meeting

638
00:29:29,705 --> 00:29:32,875
with what Twinfield means to them in normal discussion.

639
00:29:33,955 --> 00:29:34,245
That

640
00:29:39,885 --> 00:29:40,305
visual.

641
00:29:40,605 --> 00:29:42,125
Can I go on agenda if I don't forget?

642
00:29:42,235 --> 00:29:45,125
Yeah, that be reminded. Oh yeah. Yeah. I don't

643
00:29:45,125 --> 00:29:46,125
Know.

644
00:29:46,125 --> 00:29:46,235
It's just idea

645
00:29:48,265 --> 00:29:50,925
It be part of the introductions, you know, just answer.

646
00:29:50,925 --> 00:29:54,715
Simple. Good. Alright, anything else about the retreat?

647
00:29:57,215 --> 00:29:58,985
Alright, well thanks so much for running down.

648
00:30:00,205 --> 00:30:02,105
We we'll use that career center, but

649
00:30:02,325 --> 00:30:04,825
Are you going over anything But think idea of,

650
00:30:05,005 --> 00:30:07,865
you mean the high school we or on the other side

651
00:30:09,125 --> 00:30:13,585
Capitalization of And if they build on the supervis,

652
00:30:14,815 --> 00:30:18,205
Talking about the last meeting with having supervisory

653
00:30:19,005 --> 00:30:21,485
That's, that's worth Like separating out the policy.

654
00:30:22,025 --> 00:30:24,045
That's one Tonight we're not having a

655
00:30:24,045 --> 00:30:25,045
Conversation about that.

656
00:30:25,045 --> 00:30:26,445
Okay. Yeah. Thanks for asking. Yeah,

657
00:30:29,215 --> 00:30:30,485

Thank you. That the Supervis union office? Yeah. Got it.

666

I'd love to check in with either Samantha or John.

667
00:31:12,395 --> 00:31:14,695
Do either of you need to leave earlier than the other

668
00:31:15,945 --> 00:31:17,205
Or Ken? They kind of tied to the hip.

669
00:31:17,205 --> 00:31:20,805
They're do. All right then. I'm pretty flexible. Great.

670

Then John, I'm gonna, we have for you Aaron, I was wanna say

671
00:31:24,005 --> 00:31:25,565
what we were saying was making sure

672
00:31:25,565 --> 00:31:27,845
that in the conversation, which I think will be in here is

673
00:31:27,845 --> 00:31:29,405
the conversation around the tech.

674
00:31:30,125 --> 00:31:34,285
I put it down, this will work just with a fair call out of

675
00:31:35,205 --> 00:31:36,425
that's a piece of the puzzle.

676
00:31:36,655 --> 00:31:38,625
Yeah. We'll lose or gain.

677
00:31:39,285 --> 00:31:40,705
Did you ask? I already made you,

678
00:31:40,845 --> 00:31:42,825
but you gotta share I think, yeah, theres,

679
00:31:42,965 --> 00:31:45,025

680
00:31:45,325 --> 00:31:49,385

for John when he's going over the tan

689
00:32:20,105 --> 00:32:21,685

692
00:32:26,105 --> 00:32:27,105
My name is Samantha Les.

693
00:32:27,165 --> 00:32:29,105
I'm one of the Vermont based audit managers here

694
00:32:29,125 --> 00:32:30,265
at ER Smith and Company.

695
00:32:30,385 --> 00:32:32,465
I actually live right down the road in St. John Bay.

696
00:32:34,605 --> 00:32:36,985
So I've doing this for about nine years.

697
00:32:37,805 --> 00:32:39,025
We are a main based company

698
00:32:39,145 --> 00:32:41,085
but we do about 70 to 75%

699
00:32:41,085 --> 00:32:42,645
of the school districts in the state of Vermont

700
00:32:42,985 --> 00:32:46,445
and about 50 to 60% of the towns in cities.

701
00:32:46,625 --> 00:32:49,285
Oh wow. So we have a handful of nonprofits

702
00:32:49,285 --> 00:32:51,205
and Indian tribes, all that kind of stuff.

703
00:32:51,305 --> 00:32:54,705
So we're very, we're very busy. Okay.

704
00:32:55,285 --> 00:32:58,305
So I am going to kind of take you

705
00:32:58,305 --> 00:33:00,505
through your FY 25 audit.

706
00:33:00,935 --> 00:33:02,305
I've never spoken to you guys before.

707
00:33:03,085 --> 00:33:06,225
So John and I are hoping that this is the beginning of

708
00:33:07,505 --> 00:33:10,225
a good tradition of getting together with the board, kind

709
00:33:10,225 --> 00:33:12,545
of talking about what we do and and how we do it

710
00:33:12,645 --> 00:33:15,785
and where things stand at the end of your fiscal year.

711
00:33:16,535 --> 00:33:18,785
Ideally, obviously this would happen a little bit earlier

712
00:33:19,545 --> 00:33:22,145
than just before your next fiscal year is about to end.

713
00:33:22,725 --> 00:33:24,865
But you know, timing isn't always on our side

714
00:33:24,965 --> 00:33:26,225
so, so we're here now.

715
00:33:27,005 --> 00:33:28,305
So I'm just gonna take you through this.

716
00:33:28,965 --> 00:33:31,585
I'm gonna explain kind of what your responsi

717
00:33:32,305 --> 00:33:33,385
responsibilities are as clients

718
00:33:33,445 --> 00:33:35,385
and what the SU's responsibilities are,

719
00:33:35,945 --> 00:33:38,785
what my responsibilities are and what my team does.

720
00:33:39,485 --> 00:33:41,825
And then kind of take you through your finances

721
00:33:42,005 --> 00:33:43,585
for the FY 25 fiscal year.

722
00:33:45,265 --> 00:33:49,005
So start things off what your guys' role is as the client

723
00:33:49,105 --> 00:33:51,045
and primarily when I say your guys',

724
00:33:51,085 --> 00:33:53,725
I do mean supervisory union's office just

725
00:33:53,725 --> 00:33:56,365
because that's where all of your answers are held.

726
00:33:57,945 --> 00:34:00,045
So you guys are responsible for designing

727
00:34:00,045 --> 00:34:02,565
and implementing a system of internal controls.

728
00:34:02,585 --> 00:34:05,165
So basically how paper moves through your business office,

729
00:34:05,265 --> 00:34:06,685
how paper moves through your school.

730
00:34:08,465 --> 00:34:12,885
You are required to comply with certain

731
00:34:13,515 --> 00:34:16,005
regulations in accordance with gap,

732
00:34:16,005 --> 00:34:18,525
which is generally accepted accounting principles

733
00:34:18,785 --> 00:34:19,845
and also GSB,

734
00:34:19,845 --> 00:34:22,005
which is governmental Accounting Standards board.

735
00:34:22,685 --> 00:34:24,525
They're boring, there's nothing you really need to know.

736
00:34:24,525 --> 00:34:26,725
It's just basically how we present our financial statements.

737
00:34:28,775 --> 00:34:30,075
You guys are responsible for making sure

738
00:34:30,075 --> 00:34:31,915
that we get all the information that we are requesting

739
00:34:33,415 --> 00:34:36,235
and providing us with all that in a timely manner so

740
00:34:36,235 --> 00:34:38,875
that we have enough time, you know, to, to do our audit

741
00:34:39,015 --> 00:34:41,715
and to present you guys with something in the meantime.

742
00:34:41,715 --> 00:34:44,435
When you say you guys, you mean John? So yeah, supervisor.

743
00:34:44,825 --> 00:34:49,185
Yeah. Okay. Yep. Calling you out there friend.

744
00:34:51,765 --> 00:34:54,545
So what my responsibility is, lemme sure that switch

745
00:34:55,025 --> 00:34:57,145
what my responsibility or what the firm's responsibility is,

746
00:34:57,405 --> 00:35:00,665
is to obtain an understanding of those internal controls.

747
00:35:02,085 --> 00:35:04,065
So we have to understand how paper moves

748
00:35:04,065 --> 00:35:05,985
through your business office, how bills get paid,

749
00:35:05,985 --> 00:35:08,505
how money gets received and all

750
00:35:08,505 --> 00:35:09,945
how your bank reconciliations get

751
00:35:09,945 --> 00:35:11,905
reconciled, all that kind of stuff.

752
00:35:12,725 --> 00:35:15,345
We do test some of that.

753
00:35:15,405 --> 00:35:17,785
So we will pull certain samples just to make sure that

754
00:35:17,785 --> 00:35:20,185
what they're saying they're doing is,

755
00:35:25,285 --> 00:35:26,825
is actually what, and then

756
00:35:26,825 --> 00:35:28,145
that allows us to form an opinion.

757
00:35:28,885 --> 00:35:31,305
The opinion that we form on your financial statements has

758
00:35:31,305 --> 00:35:33,185
nothing to do with those internal controls.

759
00:35:33,515 --> 00:35:36,185
Those are simply just so that we understand how things work.

760
00:35:37,065 --> 00:35:39,645
The basis of the opinion on your financial statements is

761
00:35:39,645 --> 00:35:43,725
solely on the accuracy of your year end numbers.

762
00:35:44,945 --> 00:35:46,365
We do make recommendations

763
00:35:47,225 --> 00:35:48,885
for journal entries if we feel like they're

764
00:35:48,885 --> 00:35:50,045
necessary to your books.

765
00:35:50,265 --> 00:35:52,645
We make recommendations on if we feel like there are areas

766
00:35:52,785 --> 00:35:55,205
of your internal controls that could use improvement.

767
00:35:55,205 --> 00:35:56,485
We do make those recommendations,

768
00:35:56,485 --> 00:35:58,365
which we'll talk about towards the end.

769
00:35:59,405 --> 00:36:00,405
But that's pretty much it.

770
00:36:00,505 --> 00:36:03,005
We prepare, we put together your draft financial statements

771
00:36:03,065 --> 00:36:07,605
so that 60 page document that you see is prepared by us.

772
00:36:08,385 --> 00:36:10,005
So reviewed by John and his team.

773
00:36:11,025 --> 00:36:15,525
So yeah, so the good news is,

774
00:36:15,865 --> 00:36:17,325
is that Twinfield received

775
00:36:17,325 --> 00:36:18,765
what we call an unmodified opinion.

776
00:36:18,905 --> 00:36:20,805
So that's the highest opinion that we can give.

777
00:36:21,145 --> 00:36:22,565
It basically means that we believe

778
00:36:22,565 --> 00:36:24,525
that your financial statements are fairly stated

779
00:36:25,265 --> 00:36:26,765
but there's no, there's no material

780
00:36:26,795 --> 00:36:28,445
what we call material in misstatements.

781
00:36:29,545 --> 00:36:31,205
So we feel like they're, they're pretty accurate.

782
00:36:32,025 --> 00:36:36,745
So I'm gonna go through these as much as I can

783
00:36:36,985 --> 00:36:38,665
'cause there's a lot of information and I'm just gonna

784
00:36:38,665 --> 00:36:39,785
hit on the key bullet points.

785
00:36:40,565 --> 00:36:41,985
So this is your balance sheet comparison

786
00:36:42,015 --> 00:36:43,025
over the last three years.

787
00:36:43,445 --> 00:36:45,665
On the far left hand side, you'll see your cash balance,

788
00:36:46,495 --> 00:36:49,545
that middle column, the orange one is your FY 24 cash

789
00:36:49,545 --> 00:36:52,585
balance and the green column is your FY 25 cash balance.

790
00:36:53,175 --> 00:36:54,785
When I'm talking cash balance,

791
00:36:56,285 --> 00:36:57,965
I am not necessarily talking about what's sitting in your

792
00:36:57,965 --> 00:36:59,965
bank account, I'm talking about your general ledger.

793
00:36:59,965 --> 00:37:02,645
So that's taking account, you know, any outstanding checks,

794
00:37:02,645 --> 00:37:04,245
just like you would reconcile a checkbook at home,

795
00:37:04,865 --> 00:37:07,285
any outstanding checks, any deposits that haven't made it

796
00:37:07,285 --> 00:37:09,045
to the bank yet, all that kind of stuff.

797
00:37:09,415 --> 00:37:12,805
There was a significant increase from 24 to 25.

798
00:37:13,865 --> 00:37:16,005
Couple of factors you guys

799
00:37:16,875 --> 00:37:21,285
took out about $200,000 more in your tan in FY 25

800
00:37:22,115 --> 00:37:23,365
than you did in FY 24,

801
00:37:23,575 --> 00:37:26,525
which allowed you a little bit more cashflow in your bank.

802
00:37:26,525 --> 00:37:27,605
It allowed you more opportunity

803
00:37:27,605 --> 00:37:29,685
to get some interest back on those investments.

804
00:37:31,065 --> 00:37:32,845
And then you underspent in a couple areas,

805
00:37:33,205 --> 00:37:34,285
specifically school instruction

806
00:37:35,185 --> 00:37:39,525
and we can talk about that once we get to your, your expen,

807
00:37:39,715 --> 00:37:44,685
your expenditures, your year to year of liability balances.

808
00:37:44,755 --> 00:37:46,285
There's a little bit of a fluctuation.

809
00:37:47,015 --> 00:37:50,605
These are primarily caused by those SU assessments.

810
00:37:51,145 --> 00:37:53,125
So I've explained this to the other boards as well.

811
00:37:54,505 --> 00:37:56,605
The SU is not a taxing entity.

812
00:37:56,605 --> 00:37:58,285
They can't collect property taxes,

813
00:37:58,395 --> 00:38:00,645
they can't take loans out, they can't take bonds out.

814
00:38:01,545 --> 00:38:04,325
So their job is to base their budget off of

815
00:38:04,325 --> 00:38:06,365
what they feel like your school is going to use

816
00:38:06,365 --> 00:38:09,245
of their services and bill you for those services.

817
00:38:09,985 --> 00:38:12,445
At the end of the year, they do what we call a reassessment

818
00:38:13,225 --> 00:38:15,045
and they basically give you back anything

819
00:38:15,675 --> 00:38:17,285
that you overpaid them

820
00:38:17,665 --> 00:38:19,325
or they bill you for anything

821
00:38:19,795 --> 00:38:21,725
that you have not paid them for yet.

822
00:38:22,425 --> 00:38:23,845
So those are, it's fluctuating.

823
00:38:23,905 --> 00:38:25,485
It goes, it's year over year.

824
00:38:25,505 --> 00:38:29,405
It depends on, you know, staffing, anything like that.

825
00:38:29,505 --> 00:38:31,725
How you guys use special ed, transportation,

826
00:38:32,545 --> 00:38:34,285
the central office, all that kind of stuff.

827
00:38:35,385 --> 00:38:36,845
And then there's an increase in your fund balance.

828
00:38:36,865 --> 00:38:39,005
And the next slide, we'll go a little bit deeper into your

829
00:38:39,005 --> 00:38:40,205
fund balance before

830
00:38:40,205 --> 00:38:43,085
We go on how, why is our, what did our assets double

831
00:38:44,495 --> 00:38:45,495
This?

832
00:38:45,495 --> 00:38:48,265
So it's primarily because of your cash balance. Okay. Yeah.

833
00:38:48,815 --> 00:38:49,945
Primarily 'cause of your cash

834
00:38:49,945 --> 00:38:54,215
balance. So yeah,

835
00:38:54,215 --> 00:38:56,055
There was a, that was a good question to catch that.

836
00:38:56,055 --> 00:38:58,415
Yeah, that was good. That's fine.

837
00:38:59,165 --> 00:39:01,975
Matt, you ask that question. Stay as I

838
00:39:01,975 --> 00:39:03,895
Can through any of this with any questions.

839
00:39:04,955 --> 00:39:05,975
So your fund balances,

840
00:39:05,975 --> 00:39:08,175
so we have five different categories of fund balances.

841
00:39:08,195 --> 00:39:09,455
So nons spend bill is anything

842
00:39:09,455 --> 00:39:10,655
that we can't convert into cash.

843
00:39:10,915 --> 00:39:12,655
So think if you have food service revenue,

844
00:39:13,155 --> 00:39:14,815
if you have prepaid expenses.

845
00:39:14,915 --> 00:39:16,135
So money that's already been spent

846
00:39:16,235 --> 00:39:19,775
for the next budget period, restricted as anything

847
00:39:19,775 --> 00:39:22,215
that the state or federal government has restricted

848
00:39:22,755 --> 00:39:26,015
or has certain contingencies on that money committed

849
00:39:26,015 --> 00:39:28,895
and assigned are based on how either your townspeople

850
00:39:28,915 --> 00:39:30,215
or the select board chooses

851
00:39:30,235 --> 00:39:33,415
or school board chooses to allocate certain funds

852
00:39:33,525 --> 00:39:34,815
that are left over at the end of the year.

853
00:39:35,595 --> 00:39:38,415
And then unassigned is anything that is not already tied up

854
00:39:39,035 --> 00:39:40,575
in for other things.

855
00:39:41,595 --> 00:39:44,655
So again, you guys had a significant increase in your fund

856
00:39:44,655 --> 00:39:47,275
balance from 24 to 25

857
00:39:47,865 --> 00:39:49,795
underspending in school instruction.

858
00:39:49,795 --> 00:39:50,915
There was an underspending in a couple

859
00:39:50,915 --> 00:39:52,155
of other areas I believe.

860
00:39:53,975 --> 00:39:56,955
And then that, that large cash balance, so you guys have

861
00:39:57,305 --> 00:39:59,115
that cash was heavy this year.

862
00:40:02,315 --> 00:40:03,455
So looking at your revenues,

863
00:40:03,885 --> 00:40:06,135
your intergovernmental revenues are gonna be all of your

864
00:40:07,405 --> 00:40:09,895
education, property taxes, all of your education spending

865
00:40:09,895 --> 00:40:10,895
that you get from the state.

866
00:40:12,115 --> 00:40:15,695
The increase year over year is fairly consistent with

867
00:40:15,695 --> 00:40:18,255
what we see with the rising cost of education

868
00:40:18,275 --> 00:40:20,175
and the state support that you guys are getting back.

869
00:40:20,315 --> 00:40:23,135
Pretty consistent. Nothing to be shocked about.

870
00:40:23,135 --> 00:40:27,015
Nothing stood out to us. Charges for services went down.

871
00:40:27,875 --> 00:40:31,655
It could be as simple as participation, you know,

872
00:40:33,175 --> 00:40:35,895
services that aren't being utilized, anything like that.

873
00:40:36,775 --> 00:40:41,575
I believe actually I looked this morning, it had

874
00:40:41,575 --> 00:40:46,565
to do with some tuition I think for

875
00:40:47,205 --> 00:40:51,485
vocational for the tech center, maybe interest income,

876
00:40:51,485 --> 00:40:52,725
pretty steady increase.

877
00:40:53,755 --> 00:40:55,795
You guys are always really great about putting your tan into

878
00:40:55,795 --> 00:40:57,755
an investment account to get that interest money back.

879
00:40:58,615 --> 00:41:00,595
You're on behalf payments. Can

880
00:41:00,595 --> 00:41:02,715
We go, is that the only reason of for the increase

881
00:41:02,825 --> 00:41:04,115
because we put it in a,

882
00:41:04,705 --> 00:41:07,435
Yeah, so one of the things, one of the things

883
00:41:07,435 --> 00:41:09,635
that Mike Esti, the previous business manager was really

884
00:41:09,635 --> 00:41:11,875
good at is when he took all that tan money

885
00:41:11,875 --> 00:41:14,315
that you guys received, he put it into an investment account

886
00:41:14,735 --> 00:41:17,635
and he pulled it out as necessary to cover payroll,

887
00:41:18,255 --> 00:41:19,275
ap, all that kind of stuff.

888
00:41:19,535 --> 00:41:21,955
So it sat in a high interest savings account

889
00:41:23,695 --> 00:41:25,315
for primarily all the year.

890
00:41:25,315 --> 00:41:28,195
And then once that tan is paid off at the end of the year,

891
00:41:28,795 --> 00:41:30,675
whatever was left over, he would move back

892
00:41:30,675 --> 00:41:31,795
into your general fund checking.

893
00:41:33,205 --> 00:41:34,445
I did like that. Yeah.

894
00:41:37,105 --> 00:41:38,485
So you're on behalf payments.

895
00:41:39,235 --> 00:41:41,685
This is something that is strictly state.

896
00:41:42,195 --> 00:41:44,765
It's for the state. It is not anything that's dictated

897
00:41:44,785 --> 00:41:45,845
by the school district.

898
00:41:46,555 --> 00:41:47,965
It's just for reporting purposes.

899
00:41:47,965 --> 00:41:49,125
It's for your teacher retirement.

900
00:41:49,505 --> 00:41:51,045
So you'll see a counter set

901
00:41:51,045 --> 00:41:54,245
and expense on your financial statements

902
00:41:54,305 --> 00:41:56,205
for the same amount for your on behalf.

903
00:41:56,555 --> 00:41:57,525
It's just something that we have

904
00:41:57,525 --> 00:41:58,565
to report for the state level.

905
00:42:00,425 --> 00:42:03,725
But again, as far as increased decrease, pretty consistent

906
00:42:03,795 --> 00:42:06,685
with teacher retirement and all and benefits increases

907
00:42:06,685 --> 00:42:07,765
and all that year over year.

908
00:42:09,075 --> 00:42:10,435
And then you're miscellaneous revenues,

909
00:42:10,435 --> 00:42:14,475
that could be anything from I think athletic gate receipts.

910
00:42:15,045 --> 00:42:17,315
There was a couple of prior year things

911
00:42:17,345 --> 00:42:18,435
that were booked back.

912
00:42:18,935 --> 00:42:23,125
One of the things that we do is we have like a unit

913
00:42:23,125 --> 00:42:24,845
of measure a, a measurement date.

914
00:42:25,265 --> 00:42:27,685
So if anything is kind of received with outside of

915
00:42:27,685 --> 00:42:29,485
that measurement date, it's usually 60 days

916
00:42:29,485 --> 00:42:30,765
from the end of your fiscal year.

917
00:42:31,425 --> 00:42:33,685
We typically don't want you to go back and move it,

918
00:42:33,985 --> 00:42:36,285
but like back to your previous fiscal year,

919
00:42:36,545 --> 00:42:38,845
we would just prefer you to keep it in the current year

920
00:42:39,515 --> 00:42:41,805
depending, obviously depending on the amount for us.

921
00:42:42,625 --> 00:42:44,205
But usually it's not, it's not a lot.

922
00:42:44,345 --> 00:42:45,725
So that's usually what makes up those

923
00:42:45,725 --> 00:42:46,885
miscellaneous revenues.

924
00:42:49,465 --> 00:42:51,445
And then this is your budget actual,

925
00:42:52,185 --> 00:42:54,925
so you guys actually came in over budget for your revenues

926
00:42:56,665 --> 00:42:58,675
primarily in intergovernmental.

927
00:42:58,675 --> 00:43:02,195
Other is going to be that tuition for the tech center.

928
00:43:02,195 --> 00:43:04,235
There was about I think 8,000

929
00:43:04,575 --> 00:43:07,195
and there was something else listed in that $12,000.

930
00:43:07,295 --> 00:43:09,195
But primarily a lot of it was 8,000

931
00:43:10,375 --> 00:43:11,475
for some tech center revenue.

932
00:43:12,635 --> 00:43:14,885
Then this is again prior your revenue

933
00:43:15,035 --> 00:43:17,045
that just wasn't booked back to the previous year.

934
00:43:17,885 --> 00:43:19,845
Interest income came over and then your charges

935
00:43:19,945 --> 00:43:21,605
for services was, was down from

936
00:43:21,605 --> 00:43:22,885
what you originally booked to before.

937
00:43:26,175 --> 00:43:27,195
So these your expenses.

938
00:43:28,415 --> 00:43:32,315
So as you can see your school instruction, there's kind

939
00:43:32,315 --> 00:43:34,355
of a hiccup, there's a spike in 24

940
00:43:34,415 --> 00:43:35,875
and it goes back down in 25.

941
00:43:36,775 --> 00:43:39,075
But again, you know, it's pretty consistent.

942
00:43:39,075 --> 00:43:41,035
There's nothing that really sticks out to us.

943
00:43:42,015 --> 00:43:43,515
You know, with staffing turnovers

944
00:43:43,775 --> 00:43:45,115
and all that kind of stuff.

945
00:43:45,255 --> 00:43:49,915
We expect to see rising costs in just cost of benefits,

946
00:43:50,235 --> 00:43:52,115
salaries, health insurance, all that kind of stuff.

947
00:43:52,875 --> 00:43:55,835
Special education had an increase, you know, there's need

948
00:43:55,835 --> 00:43:57,355
that every school has needs and,

949
00:43:57,355 --> 00:43:58,595
and the more you can kind of

950
00:43:58,595 --> 00:44:00,275
what you were talking about earlier, the earlier you can

951
00:44:00,275 --> 00:44:01,915
intervene on students with special education, the better.

952
00:44:01,975 --> 00:44:03,955
So that definitely could be something

953
00:44:03,955 --> 00:44:06,515
that happened there. It would

954
00:44:06,515 --> 00:44:07,515
That yes.

955
00:44:07,515 --> 00:44:08,875
Account for the differential

956
00:44:08,875 --> 00:44:12,435
between the school instruction and special ed. So

957
00:44:12,435 --> 00:44:13,555
Some of that it could, yeah.

958
00:44:13,555 --> 00:44:15,635
And the next slide will show you that diff Yeah.

959
00:44:15,665 --> 00:44:19,435
What that difference would be administration, again,

960
00:44:19,435 --> 00:44:22,395
pretty consistent considering, you know, staffing,

961
00:44:22,815 --> 00:44:25,475
salary increases, benefit increases, all that kind of stuff.

962
00:44:25,655 --> 00:44:27,155
Pretty consistent across the board.

963
00:44:27,755 --> 00:44:30,635
Nothing really out of the ordinary or out of the norm.

964
00:44:31,425 --> 00:44:33,645
And you'll see that offsetting on behalf payment

965
00:44:33,865 --> 00:44:35,405
that's dictated by the state.

966
00:44:39,375 --> 00:44:41,835
So yes. So like you were saying that under

967
00:44:41,835 --> 00:44:44,995
that over expenditure in special education did offset some

968
00:44:44,995 --> 00:44:48,115
of that underspending in school instruction

969
00:44:50,295 --> 00:44:54,355
and then your transfers to other funds is another one that

970
00:44:55,595 --> 00:44:59,215
was overspent and that was due

971
00:44:59,235 --> 00:45:01,345
to mentoring.

972
00:45:01,485 --> 00:45:05,385
You guys have a mentoring program, so there was some monies

973
00:45:05,385 --> 00:45:07,345
that needed to be recouped in that fund.

974
00:45:07,405 --> 00:45:08,505
So we had to move that.

975
00:45:08,505 --> 00:45:10,545
And that's what that transfer out is in is.

976
00:45:12,315 --> 00:45:14,095
But that new teacher mentoring,

977
00:45:15,075 --> 00:45:17,055
So the a hundred eighty four five Yeah.

978
00:45:17,595 --> 00:45:19,015
Is a budgeted transfer

979
00:45:19,015 --> 00:45:20,615
of a hundred thousand dollars to your capital projects.

980
00:45:21,195 --> 00:45:25,135
And then you have a four

981
00:45:26,325 --> 00:45:27,935
Mike, you might have, or John might have to,

982
00:45:28,985 --> 00:45:31,465
I, my question is what the difference between the budget

983
00:45:31,485 --> 00:45:33,225
and the actual transfer to the others?

984
00:45:33,525 --> 00:45:35,825
Is that you're saying that's all for the mentoring program?

985
00:45:36,005 --> 00:45:37,385
No, no, no, no, no, no. Nope.

986
00:45:37,495 --> 00:45:39,665
That 2 29 is a combination of

987
00:45:39,895 --> 00:45:40,985
that a hundred thousand dollars

988
00:45:41,085 --> 00:45:42,665
for your capital projects transfer

989
00:45:43,805 --> 00:45:47,345
and then it is like $45,000 for, it's called a,

990
00:45:47,405 --> 00:45:48,745
you guys have a s sinking fund.

991
00:45:48,805 --> 00:45:51,665
Yep. Which is I think is ending year.

992
00:45:52,505 --> 00:45:53,825
Actually it was actually paid off in March.

993
00:45:53,825 --> 00:45:54,825
Yeah, we get some interest

994
00:45:55,095 --> 00:45:56,095
That too.

995
00:45:56,095 --> 00:45:59,825
So, so, and very, very few schools have s sinking funds.

996
00:46:00,105 --> 00:46:03,105
I, it is a weird practice that we don't really deal with,

997
00:46:03,165 --> 00:46:05,265
but basically you guys, it's like a savings account.

998
00:46:05,265 --> 00:46:07,345
You put your money into the bank account to pay

999
00:46:07,345 --> 00:46:08,745
where things pay off this bond

1000
00:46:09,125 --> 00:46:10,625
and then at the end of it you pay the

1001
00:46:10,625 --> 00:46:11,745
entire bond off all at once.

1002
00:46:11,965 --> 00:46:13,345
So, but you were in the interest

1003
00:46:13,345 --> 00:46:14,665
on it too, so that's kind of nice. Yeah,

1004
00:46:14,665 --> 00:46:15,665
They did pretty good on it too.

1005
00:46:15,665 --> 00:46:17,665
Yeah. Yeah. I'm shocked. But,

1006
00:46:18,645 --> 00:46:19,645
But yeah.

1007
00:46:21,375 --> 00:46:24,355
So now is where I tell you where the areas are that we,

1008
00:46:24,515 --> 00:46:25,515
I think you can improve.

1009
00:46:26,535 --> 00:46:28,635
And you'll see here this is quote unquote,

1010
00:46:28,635 --> 00:46:30,115
it's in a repeat comment.

1011
00:46:30,175 --> 00:46:31,875
So I've had this conversation with Mike

1012
00:46:31,875 --> 00:46:34,435
and Jesse since we've done,

1013
00:46:34,535 --> 00:46:36,315
we started doing your audit in 2023,

1014
00:46:37,425 --> 00:46:38,795
your student activity accounts

1015
00:46:38,795 --> 00:46:40,155
are considered special revenue funds.

1016
00:46:40,155 --> 00:46:42,275
So they are technically property of the school district.

1017
00:46:43,065 --> 00:46:44,555
With that being said, right now,

1018
00:46:44,655 --> 00:46:47,035
you guys maintain your student defense at your schools.

1019
00:46:48,235 --> 00:46:50,965
What our recommendation would be is that that practice

1020
00:46:51,025 --> 00:46:55,925
and that process be moved to the central office as a method

1021
00:46:55,945 --> 00:46:57,245
to have more oversight.

1022
00:46:57,585 --> 00:47:00,445
So bills, receipts, all that kind of stuff should run

1023
00:47:00,445 --> 00:47:04,805
through the same process as anything else With that.

1024
00:47:04,805 --> 00:47:06,325
Just us or is that all the school?

1025
00:47:06,505 --> 00:47:07,765
All school district. Okay. Yep.

1026
00:47:09,055 --> 00:47:10,065
With that being said,

1027
00:47:12,685 --> 00:47:14,225
the reason why it's repeat common is Mike

1028
00:47:14,225 --> 00:47:18,985
and Jesse had no, no urge desire to deal with it.

1029
00:47:19,085 --> 00:47:20,385
And I totally get where he is coming from.

1030
00:47:20,925 --> 00:47:23,905
It is much more, as principal, I'm sure you understand,

1031
00:47:23,905 --> 00:47:26,065
it is much more flexible to have

1032
00:47:26,065 --> 00:47:27,705
that money sitting in house, being able

1033
00:47:27,705 --> 00:47:29,025
to write a check when you need it,

1034
00:47:29,345 --> 00:47:32,285
rather than waiting two weeks for an AP run.

1035
00:47:32,375 --> 00:47:35,845
Right. So I cannot, like this is my famous thing.

1036
00:47:35,965 --> 00:47:37,125
I cannot tell you what to do. I can

1037
00:47:37,125 --> 00:47:38,245
only tell you what I think is best.

1038
00:47:39,145 --> 00:47:42,555
Best. So that is just the recommendation.

1039
00:47:42,875 --> 00:47:45,115
I will say we find, we find, we didn't find any issues with,

1040
00:47:45,205 --> 00:47:47,075
we've never found issues with your student activities,

1041
00:47:47,375 --> 00:47:49,555
but student activities is one of the number one places

1042
00:47:49,555 --> 00:47:52,755
where we find hiccups When we do our testing for them,

1043
00:47:52,755 --> 00:47:54,275
we test 'em just like we would anything else.

1044
00:47:56,095 --> 00:47:58,075
So yeah, that's really the only recommendation.

1045
00:47:58,595 --> 00:48:00,235
I know that, yeah, go ahead. There would be

1046
00:48:00,235 --> 00:48:01,955
A significant amount of savings too.

1047
00:48:02,295 --> 00:48:04,755
Or you're just saying there's just space for hiccups.

1048
00:48:05,495 --> 00:48:07,635
Oh, there's space for hiccups.

1049
00:48:07,955 --> 00:48:11,675
I mean, like when I say hiccups, I mean like mistakes,

1050
00:48:12,895 --> 00:48:14,075
people being paid out of it.

1051
00:48:14,075 --> 00:48:15,995
That shouldn't be one of the big things is rest being

1052
00:48:15,995 --> 00:48:17,075
paid outta student activities.

1053
00:48:17,075 --> 00:48:18,355
Technically referees shouldn't

1054
00:48:18,355 --> 00:48:19,395
be paid outta student activities.

1055
00:48:19,505 --> 00:48:20,795
They should be paid outta the general fund.

1056
00:48:21,775 --> 00:48:24,355
Paying sales tax should be paying sales

1057
00:48:24,415 --> 00:48:26,115
tax, things like that.

1058
00:48:26,245 --> 00:48:27,635
There are think we found,

1059
00:48:28,175 --> 00:48:30,315
we have found worse things out of there,

1060
00:48:31,535 --> 00:48:32,535
But not here.

1061
00:48:32,535 --> 00:48:33,955
New. Not from here. Right.

1062
00:48:34,135 --> 00:48:35,635
Not from here and not from any

1063
00:48:35,635 --> 00:48:37,075
of the other schools under CCS U.

1064
00:48:40,805 --> 00:48:45,655
Okay. But if you ask anyone in my firm, in our firm that

1065
00:48:46,905 --> 00:48:49,495
would tell, ask if you ask them what their number one area

1066
00:48:50,355 --> 00:48:51,855
or the issues, they would say student activities.

1067
00:48:51,855 --> 00:48:53,015
Yes it is. Yep.

1068
00:48:53,235 --> 00:48:57,335
We did this at OSSU where we brought it under the auspices

1069
00:48:57,335 --> 00:48:58,375
of the finance department and

1070
00:48:58,375 --> 00:49:00,615
that really does tie the school's individual hands.

1071
00:49:01,075 --> 00:49:05,455
But the schools were also for time period, allowed to use

1072
00:49:06,265 --> 00:49:07,495
debit cards and spending cards.

1073
00:49:07,495 --> 00:49:08,615
Things of that nature were tied.

1074
00:49:08,715 --> 00:49:10,415
So there's some flexibility with that. Yeah.

1075
00:49:10,995 --> 00:49:12,535
So there, there are trade offs.

1076
00:49:13,385 --> 00:49:15,055
There are absolutely, there are trade-offs

1077
00:49:15,055 --> 00:49:16,535
and I mean we look at, part

1078
00:49:16,535 --> 00:49:18,415
of our practice is we look at all the bank accounts,

1079
00:49:18,415 --> 00:49:20,335
the bank statements for the student activities.

1080
00:49:20,335 --> 00:49:21,695
We do pull samples, we do tests,

1081
00:49:22,115 --> 00:49:23,455
we do all that kind of stuff.

1082
00:49:24,875 --> 00:49:27,895
But just as a method of practice, the way that we have

1083
00:49:27,895 --> 00:49:30,215
to present student activity funds in our financial

1084
00:49:30,215 --> 00:49:32,375
statements, technically they're a governmental fund,

1085
00:49:33,055 --> 00:49:34,175
so they should be treated like

1086
00:49:34,175 --> 00:49:36,055
every other governmental fund. So

1087
00:49:36,055 --> 00:49:37,215
Does that mean this is probably

1088
00:49:37,215 --> 00:49:39,055
Stupid's, like there's No petty cash.

1089
00:49:40,405 --> 00:49:41,725
I don't think you guys have petty cash.

1090
00:49:41,865 --> 00:49:43,205
I'd like petty cash. We don't have petty

1091
00:49:43,205 --> 00:49:44,325
Cash. Pay cash. Yeah. I don't think petty don't

1092
00:49:44,325 --> 00:49:45,325
Petty.

1093
00:49:45,325 --> 00:49:48,405
Somebody comes in with a package and we owe $5. You know,

1094
00:49:49,795 --> 00:49:53,925
That would be, I, if that wasn't for student activities,

1095
00:49:54,115 --> 00:49:55,165
that would probably be an issue.

1096
00:49:55,355 --> 00:49:56,965
I've never seen it happen here.

1097
00:49:58,275 --> 00:50:00,525
Seen it happen probably a couple other places. Okay.

1098
00:50:00,665 --> 00:50:03,205
But yeah, we wouldn't recommend having petty cash.

1099
00:50:03,345 --> 00:50:05,885
We wouldn't, that's like petty cash is just a

1100
00:50:05,905 --> 00:50:07,645
bad road to go down. Who

1101
00:50:07,645 --> 00:50:08,645
Is decision?

1102
00:50:08,645 --> 00:50:09,845
It's like milk money getting selected and into sister.

1103
00:50:09,845 --> 00:50:11,005
There needs to be, whose

1104
00:50:11,165 --> 00:50:12,165
Decision is this?

1105
00:50:12,665 --> 00:50:14,005
It is the board. Okay.

1106
00:50:14,505 --> 00:50:15,525
Yep. So,

1107
00:50:15,945 --> 00:50:17,605
and I've had the same conversation with everyone,

1108
00:50:18,185 --> 00:50:19,325
all the other boards Yep.

1109
00:50:19,965 --> 00:50:23,125
That I've spoken to. I know John doesn't

1110
00:50:23,125 --> 00:50:24,205
really have a desire to do it.

1111
00:50:24,885 --> 00:50:25,885
I don't blame him,

1112
00:50:27,625 --> 00:50:29,445
But, and it's really not a John issue.

1113
00:50:29,475 --> 00:50:30,565
It's really taken away.

1114
00:50:30,915 --> 00:50:32,845
Exactly. The freedom for the school

1115
00:50:32,845 --> 00:50:34,085
to be able to have some flexibility.

1116
00:50:34,085 --> 00:50:35,205
Exactly. That's actually correct. Yeah.

1117
00:50:35,255 --> 00:50:36,965
We're, we're already doing this for all the other ones.

1118
00:50:36,965 --> 00:50:38,605
This is more an issue of, it's

1119
00:50:38,605 --> 00:50:39,605
Just us.

1120
00:50:39,605 --> 00:50:41,605
No, it's every school district that we have in the U.

1121
00:50:42,495 --> 00:50:47,335
We'll just say it's, we can run it like anything else,

1122
00:50:47,395 --> 00:50:48,735
but it would take two weeks to get

1123
00:50:48,735 --> 00:50:49,935
checks cut and things of that nature.

1124
00:50:51,515 --> 00:50:54,415
It is, I totally understand the reason for not wanting

1125
00:50:54,415 --> 00:50:55,575
to move it to the central office,

1126
00:50:55,955 --> 00:50:57,815
but I wouldn't be doing my job if I did not

1127
00:50:57,885 --> 00:50:59,255
give you that recommendation. Yeah.

1128
00:50:59,255 --> 00:51:00,175
You just have to basically bring

1129
00:51:00,175 --> 00:51:01,135
up the potential. Exactly.

1130
00:51:01,235 --> 00:51:02,235
Yep. Exactly.

1131
00:51:02,495 --> 00:51:03,815
I would say even more so

1132
00:51:03,815 --> 00:51:07,735
because of the uncertainty of this district necessarily,

1133
00:51:07,795 --> 00:51:10,175
in which way we're gonna go if merging needs to happen.

1134
00:51:10,345 --> 00:51:12,375
Right. How much more would we want to move

1135
00:51:12,375 --> 00:51:14,335
to central office than keep in-house Yeah.

1136
00:51:14,395 --> 00:51:15,975
As well. Yeah, absolutely.

1137
00:51:15,975 --> 00:51:17,695
And that could, and that's a really great point.

1138
00:51:17,835 --> 00:51:21,455
If you guys happen to move to another school district, su,

1139
00:51:22,085 --> 00:51:24,255
that would be just an added layer

1140
00:51:24,995 --> 00:51:27,255
to move from the central office to,

1141
00:51:27,425 --> 00:51:28,425
Right.

1142
00:51:28,425 --> 00:51:29,295
I don't know how much more tangling

1143
00:51:29,295 --> 00:51:30,495
next year we should get into.

1144
00:51:30,625 --> 00:51:32,215
Right, right. Now this could be a,

1145
00:51:32,645 --> 00:51:33,855
This could be a nightmare for

1146
00:51:33,855 --> 00:51:34,855
You.

1147
00:51:34,855 --> 00:51:35,335
I don't think, I

1148
00:51:35,335 --> 00:51:37,415
Don't think my life is, you know, this job is a nightmare.

1149
00:51:40,865 --> 00:51:42,225
I shouldn't worry about you. Yeah,

1150
00:51:42,225 --> 00:51:43,505
no, don't worry about me.

1151
00:51:43,725 --> 00:51:45,585
I'm fine. I'm fine.

1152
00:51:45,845 --> 00:51:48,385
And if this is the worst, if this is the only comment

1153
00:51:48,385 --> 00:51:49,865
that I have to like, yeah.

1154
00:51:49,865 --> 00:51:51,865
Present to you guys, this is a good day

1155
00:51:51,865 --> 00:51:53,825
for me. This is a good day

1156
00:51:53,825 --> 00:51:54,825
For, you're doing good.

1157
00:51:54,825 --> 00:51:55,985
Yeah. Can someone just Sure.

1158
00:51:55,985 --> 00:51:57,225
Quickly, when we say student activities, like

1159
00:51:57,225 --> 00:51:59,905
what falls under that category and I have is guess,

1160
00:52:01,205 --> 00:52:02,205
So You could, sales.

1161
00:52:02,205 --> 00:52:03,545
Sales, I would imagine tickets,

1162
00:52:03,615 --> 00:52:05,345
Like Athletics is a big one.

1163
00:52:06,785 --> 00:52:08,825
I don't know specifically for this school district.

1164
00:52:09,025 --> 00:52:10,785
I don't know what exactly goes into your student

1165
00:52:10,785 --> 00:52:12,825
activities. Lot. Field

1166
00:52:12,825 --> 00:52:13,865
Trips, Fundraising.

1167
00:52:14,265 --> 00:52:17,065
Fundraising, Carnival field trips, accounts,

1168
00:52:17,125 --> 00:52:19,545
and then those class account can access for field trips.

1169
00:52:19,735 --> 00:52:22,425
Yeah. Okay. Or other class celebrations, things like that.

1170
00:52:22,685 --> 00:52:24,745
So it's, it's kind of like smaller scale. Yeah.

1171
00:52:25,175 --> 00:52:26,465
More last minute.

1172
00:52:26,525 --> 00:52:29,705
Or not last minute, but not two weeks prior sometime. Right.

1173
00:52:29,705 --> 00:52:31,465
Even though we have things planned, they can Yep.

1174
00:52:31,685 --> 00:52:34,305
Pay for field trips out of their Absolutely. Accounts. Yep.

1175
00:52:34,325 --> 00:52:36,705
For dances or like 50 bucks

1176
00:52:36,725 --> 00:52:38,745
to cover donuts at the orchard, right?

1177
00:52:38,775 --> 00:52:40,225
Yeah. That's what, yep, yep.

1178
00:52:40,655 --> 00:52:42,665
Yeah. As opposed to trying to do a purchase request

1179
00:52:42,665 --> 00:52:46,495
through us, be able to do it through Burt's, which Right.

1180
00:52:46,685 --> 00:52:48,215
They may not take purchase requests,

1181
00:52:48,475 --> 00:52:49,495
so then we gotta cut a check.

1182
00:52:50,195 --> 00:52:54,655
So that's why we, if we had a problem, if we had a problem

1183
00:52:54,655 --> 00:52:56,015
with it, we would take it in house.

1184
00:52:56,115 --> 00:52:57,175
But we don't Right.

1185
00:52:57,355 --> 00:52:59,535
At this point we have not seen a concern where we go,

1186
00:53:00,225 --> 00:53:01,375
we're taking this away from you.

1187
00:53:01,445 --> 00:53:04,615
Exactly. And that, that if there was a concern,

1188
00:53:04,935 --> 00:53:07,415
I would push more for them to say, you gotta take it.

1189
00:53:07,415 --> 00:53:09,055
No, no, no, no, no. If there were a

1190
00:53:09,055 --> 00:53:10,755
concern, I would be pushing.

1191
00:53:10,945 --> 00:53:13,755
Yeah. Right. Because my license is tied to how, you know,

1192
00:53:13,925 --> 00:53:14,955
fraud and everything else.

1193
00:53:16,255 --> 00:53:18,635
We, if Matt had a concern, I don't give a ****, whatever.

1194
00:53:19,235 --> 00:53:20,875
I think not

1195
00:53:21,775 --> 00:53:22,775
So.

1196
00:53:22,775 --> 00:53:23,475
Yeah. But yeah, if this is, like I said,

1197
00:53:23,475 --> 00:53:25,525
if this is the worst thing that I can, worst means I,

1198
00:53:25,525 --> 00:53:28,175
this is a good for this is, this is easy. Good,

1199
00:53:28,205 --> 00:53:29,215
Good. I'm glad. Yeah.

1200
00:53:29,715 --> 00:53:31,455
Yep. I agree. Excellent. Thank you.

1201
00:53:32,035 --> 00:53:34,815
No problem. And then this is just a disclosure,

1202
00:53:35,435 --> 00:53:36,695
but any questions?

1203
00:53:38,515 --> 00:53:40,065
Guess maybe more for the principles,

1204
00:53:40,245 --> 00:53:42,545
but the, the discrepancy

1205
00:53:42,605 --> 00:53:46,465
and the spending for education stuff.

1206
00:53:46,655 --> 00:53:47,985
Yeah, it's mostly an instruction.

1207
00:53:48,085 --> 00:53:50,265
We have several positions we didn't bill Yep.

1208
00:53:50,455 --> 00:53:53,465
Over the last few years because we were unable to, so we

1209
00:53:54,045 --> 00:53:57,265
had an excess in what we had budgeted for to

1210
00:53:57,265 --> 00:53:58,305
what we actually were able to spend,

1211
00:53:58,945 --> 00:54:01,425
which is why timing was lending.

1212
00:54:01,565 --> 00:54:04,505
But when we paid for all the paving, it was actually out

1213
00:54:04,505 --> 00:54:08,425
of extra funds that we had for not filling positions.

1214
00:54:09,445 --> 00:54:11,505
So a lot at the end of the year, if we have extra funds,

1215
00:54:11,505 --> 00:54:13,785
they've typically been put in our unrestricted river reserve

1216
00:54:13,805 --> 00:54:17,065
and then we can board has permission to either

1217
00:54:17,245 --> 00:54:19,865
or the board approves where it goes from that.

1218
00:54:22,845 --> 00:54:25,825
That's, that's mainly it is we've underspent in some areas

1219
00:54:25,965 --> 00:54:27,465
and then not the positions. Cool.

1220
00:54:27,955 --> 00:54:30,995
Which is a very common scenario that a lot

1221
00:54:30,995 --> 00:54:33,235
of schools these days are in. So

1222
00:54:33,865 --> 00:54:34,865
It's unanticipated.

1223
00:54:36,985 --> 00:54:38,235
Yeah. We keep trying

1224
00:54:40,335 --> 00:54:42,515
80% of our budget's, you know, comp

1225
00:54:42,515 --> 00:54:45,115
and benefits, so we're not filling those positions.

1226
00:54:45,905 --> 00:54:49,315
Yeah. Thank you so much. Of course.

1227
00:54:49,905 --> 00:54:50,915
That was great. Do you

1228
00:54:50,915 --> 00:54:51,915
Have any other questions?

1229
00:54:51,935 --> 00:54:53,155
One more. When's our next audit?

1230
00:54:54,575 --> 00:54:55,875
That's pretty much About this time Next,

1231
00:54:56,255 --> 00:54:59,835
Ken tell you that your

1232
00:55:01,595 --> 00:55:05,635
preliminary planning has started, John

1233
00:55:05,635 --> 00:55:07,875
and his team have started giving us the preliminary

1234
00:55:07,875 --> 00:55:12,595
information and that is being worked on by a team

1235
00:55:12,595 --> 00:55:14,395
of staff auditors as a training

1236
00:55:14,395 --> 00:55:15,715
purpose for training purposes.

1237
00:55:15,775 --> 00:55:18,635
So, oh, I have not taken a look in any of your stuff yet,

1238
00:55:18,735 --> 00:55:20,475
but a team of very capable

1239
00:55:21,165 --> 00:55:23,275
young accountants have been looking at your stuff.

1240
00:55:23,335 --> 00:55:25,595
So, but typically it happens at the end

1241
00:55:25,615 --> 00:55:27,075
of the school year.

1242
00:55:27,445 --> 00:55:29,075
It'll happen after June 30th. Yeah.

1243
00:55:29,375 --> 00:55:33,995
So what will happen is we'll go through a lot of our job is

1244
00:55:35,595 --> 00:55:37,595
shockingly enough, a lot of our job is a lot of paperwork

1245
00:55:37,895 --> 00:55:42,035
and a lot of, a lot of analyzing your numbers

1246
00:55:42,495 --> 00:55:43,555
and going through

1247
00:55:43,775 --> 00:55:46,675
and seeing any trends that look outta whack.

1248
00:55:47,895 --> 00:55:50,075
And so that's probably 70% of what we do.

1249
00:55:50,375 --> 00:55:51,915
So we make sure all your numbers line up

1250
00:55:51,935 --> 00:55:55,035
to previous year's audit, we make sure your budget is okay

1251
00:55:55,095 --> 00:55:56,675
and that it was voted on appropriately

1252
00:55:56,935 --> 00:55:57,955
and all that kind of stuff.

1253
00:55:59,305 --> 00:56:01,035
Make sure some of your numbers balance out

1254
00:56:01,035 --> 00:56:02,635
that your cash is being reconciled.

1255
00:56:03,455 --> 00:56:05,075
And then we do a lot of analyticals

1256
00:56:05,735 --> 00:56:08,875
and we kind of make a plan for what's best to move forward

1257
00:56:09,095 --> 00:56:11,115
for CCSU in all of its districts.

1258
00:56:11,135 --> 00:56:15,795
Wow. Yeah. At that time, John

1259
00:56:15,795 --> 00:56:18,195
and I will meet, we'll talk about the best time to

1260
00:56:18,775 --> 00:56:22,035
do an onsite, a field work where myself

1261
00:56:22,135 --> 00:56:25,125
and a couple other of staff members will actually come on

1262
00:56:25,125 --> 00:56:27,405
site and do some actual field work.

1263
00:56:28,425 --> 00:56:31,005
And then typically that's, that's it.

1264
00:56:31,345 --> 00:56:33,925
So we're a training site basically. Yes.

1265
00:56:33,925 --> 00:56:36,525
Because we're so good. Yes, yes. We'll go with that.

1266
00:56:36,525 --> 00:56:39,925
Yeah, that's great. And this report is what we would share

1267
00:56:40,275 --> 00:56:42,285
with other districts in the committee.

1268
00:56:42,285 --> 00:56:43,565
Yeah, this definitely would be one of the things

1269
00:56:43,565 --> 00:56:44,885
that we would be Okay.

1270
00:56:45,285 --> 00:56:46,285
I like it. Yeah, I

1271
00:56:46,305 --> 00:56:47,605
Be putting this on the website too,

1272
00:56:47,605 --> 00:56:49,445
Just once it's finalized, it's public knowledge.

1273
00:56:50,065 --> 00:56:53,475
So yeah, everything public, everything that we give you

1274
00:56:53,475 --> 00:56:54,875
after it's finalized with public knowledge

1275
00:56:55,265 --> 00:56:58,355
Gold stores around it, we can, we put rainbows,

1276
00:56:58,555 --> 00:57:01,355
unicorns. Yeah.

1277
00:57:01,615 --> 00:57:05,355
So hopefully, hopefully for your FY 26 audit,

1278
00:57:05,465 --> 00:57:08,955
I'll be here much sooner than May or June.

1279
00:57:10,815 --> 00:57:12,795
But you know, with Mike

1280
00:57:12,795 --> 00:57:15,075
and Jesse leaving John kind of getting his feet wet, all

1281
00:57:15,075 --> 00:57:18,675
that kind of stuff, it just timing wasn't in our favor, so,

1282
00:57:19,425 --> 00:57:20,515
Well, we're glad you get

1283
00:57:20,515 --> 00:57:22,515
to end the SE your season with us,

1284
00:57:22,515 --> 00:57:23,715
right? Yeah, with the star.

1285
00:57:24,455 --> 00:57:26,155
Yes. I've got one more board.

1286
00:57:26,155 --> 00:57:27,635
Well, I'll get two more board meetings.

1287
00:57:27,635 --> 00:57:30,035
One more for you guys this month and then hopefully

1288
00:57:30,135 --> 00:57:31,435
The Cabo Ca.

1289
00:57:31,535 --> 00:57:32,535
Yep. Ca, yeah.

1290
00:57:33,375 --> 00:57:35,715
Yep. My hometown. Yep.

1291
00:57:35,715 --> 00:57:37,715
Yep. Yes. Well that was really informative.

1292
00:57:37,715 --> 00:57:40,155
Thank you so much, Samantha. Interesting.

1293
00:57:40,265 --> 00:57:41,395
Yeah, absolutely. Like I said,

1294
00:57:41,395 --> 00:57:43,395
if you have any other questions, feel free to reach out.

1295
00:57:43,435 --> 00:57:44,675
I just ask that you reach out through John.

1296
00:57:45,435 --> 00:57:47,155
Yeah. All right. Thank you guys so much.

1297
00:57:47,965 --> 00:57:49,435
We're gonna put you on speed dial.

1298
00:57:50,225 --> 00:57:51,355
They travel still. Thank You.

1299
00:57:53,555 --> 00:57:54,895
She was great. John,

1300
00:57:54,895 --> 00:57:57,855
we'll go right into you on the tax anticipation note.

1301
00:57:58,605 --> 00:58:00,015
Yeah, I'm gonna be covering up B

1302
00:58:00,015 --> 00:58:01,375
and c, the tax anticipation

1303
00:58:01,375 --> 00:58:02,855
and the district cash flows,

1304
00:58:05,775 --> 00:58:07,355
as you mentioned, we're coming up on year end

1305
00:58:07,455 --> 00:58:10,955
and we're gonna be reapplying for a tax anticipation note

1306
00:58:10,985 --> 00:58:13,115
with the sum bank.

1307
00:58:14,825 --> 00:58:17,255
We're gonna be increasing from last year

1308
00:58:17,255 --> 00:58:18,455
because the budget went up

1309
00:58:18,515 --> 00:58:19,895
and I'm putting in a little bit

1310
00:58:19,895 --> 00:58:23,135
of a risk amount in there just in case we need it.

1311
00:58:24,515 --> 00:58:25,655
I'm taking a different approach

1312
00:58:26,115 --> 00:58:30,485
and I've gone over this with all the school boards last far.

1313
00:58:31,855 --> 00:58:33,865
Mike had a process, and again, I'm not,

1314
00:58:33,865 --> 00:58:35,025
that was his way of doing things.

1315
00:58:35,365 --> 00:58:37,745
He used to take the full amount of the tan,

1316
00:58:38,445 --> 00:58:39,945
put it into an investment account,

1317
00:58:41,045 --> 00:58:43,505
and then he would earn 4.15%

1318
00:58:44,025 --> 00:58:45,225
interest on it for the full year.

1319
00:58:45,225 --> 00:58:48,105
That's basically taking your full amount of your tan,

1320
00:58:48,745 --> 00:58:50,865
throwing it into an investment, moving the money back

1321
00:58:50,865 --> 00:58:52,825
and forth whenever the cash needs were required.

1322
00:58:54,015 --> 00:58:57,045
However, on the opposite side,

1323
00:58:57,625 --> 00:59:01,925
you were paying 3.95% on net 10 for the full year.

1324
00:59:02,785 --> 00:59:05,125
So my calculations for FY 26,

1325
00:59:05,185 --> 00:59:06,685
and again, I'm not putting anyone down,

1326
00:59:06,745 --> 00:59:08,045
I'm just saying this is how it was.

1327
00:59:08,505 --> 00:59:13,165
You'll earn $48,638 in interest from the

1328
00:59:13,165 --> 00:59:14,365
money in the investment account.

1329
00:59:15,145 --> 00:59:18,605
But when we pay off the tan with the subject bank as

1330
00:59:18,605 --> 00:59:20,125
of six 30, at the end of this month,

1331
00:59:20,415 --> 00:59:23,445
we're gonna be paying $46,294.

1332
00:59:24,225 --> 00:59:28,965
So technically you made about $2,394 altogether.

1333
00:59:30,205 --> 00:59:33,325
I look at that as you're actually losing money

1334
00:59:33,325 --> 00:59:35,485
because you got labor involved, you get people moving cash

1335
00:59:35,485 --> 00:59:39,085
around and we, you really make

1336
00:59:39,635 --> 00:59:42,245
your money is in the cash flows

1337
00:59:42,245 --> 00:59:44,565
that come in towards the last quarter of the year.

1338
00:59:45,715 --> 00:59:48,685
Your chances of using this tan between July

1339
00:59:49,265 --> 00:59:51,005
and September, that's usually

1340
00:59:51,005 --> 00:59:52,525
where your deficits are at this point.

1341
00:59:52,635 --> 00:59:54,685
However, when you get into October, November,

1342
00:59:54,705 --> 00:59:56,165
and December, that's when the state

1343
00:59:56,165 --> 00:59:57,325
starts sending the money in.

1344
00:59:57,625 --> 00:59:59,325
The town starts sending the money in.

1345
00:59:59,585 --> 01:00:00,965
That's when you get a surplus.

1346
01:00:01,505 --> 01:00:03,085
That's when the money goes into

1347
01:00:03,795 --> 01:00:04,845
it's illustrated right there.

1348
01:00:05,665 --> 01:00:08,885
That's where the money starts going into the investment

1349
01:00:08,885 --> 01:00:10,565
accounts, which will earn interest

1350
01:00:10,625 --> 01:00:12,725
on That's where you need the tan.

1351
01:00:12,725 --> 01:00:13,765
That's exactly correct.

1352
01:00:14,025 --> 01:00:18,515
Now the tans are set up for a specific reason.

1353
01:00:18,665 --> 01:00:21,555
They both working capital usage.

1354
01:00:21,665 --> 01:00:24,275
When you're low on money, that's when you go to borrow it.

1355
01:00:24,935 --> 01:00:26,675
I'm not a fan of taking borrowed money

1356
01:00:26,895 --> 01:00:30,215
and not they not tax payer money.

1357
01:00:30,755 --> 01:00:32,695
My own, I would do, but I'm not a fan, a fan

1358
01:00:32,695 --> 01:00:34,815
of borrowing money to go make money

1359
01:00:34,815 --> 01:00:37,495
because the state only allows you to make a certain amount

1360
01:00:37,495 --> 01:00:41,015
of money on your ra, on your, on your investments.

1361
01:00:41,235 --> 01:00:42,335
And what happens is

1362
01:00:42,335 --> 01:00:46,695
because your interest expense is as high at almost as high

1363
01:00:46,715 --> 01:00:49,895
as the investment interest, you're not really making money.

1364
01:00:49,895 --> 01:00:51,415
So it's better to use it for the working capital.

1365
01:00:51,635 --> 01:00:55,015
So that's what I'm recommending that we do go

1366
01:00:55,015 --> 01:00:59,545
with the traditional tan and go forward with that.

1367
01:00:59,685 --> 01:01:02,305
So again, I'm not knocking the way it was done in the past,

1368
01:01:02,655 --> 01:01:06,065
however, we're we're kind of returning back to where it was

1369
01:01:06,805 --> 01:01:08,865
in 2020 and 70%.

1370
01:01:09,005 --> 01:01:12,105
And yes, Samantha didn't mention the 70%

1371
01:01:12,105 --> 01:01:14,385
of our clients are actually on this traditional 10

1372
01:01:14,685 --> 01:01:16,945
and they use it for working capital only.

1373
01:01:16,945 --> 01:01:18,545
They don't invest it. So,

1374
01:01:19,365 --> 01:01:20,785
And you guys talk a little bit about the

1375
01:01:20,945 --> 01:01:21,985
sweep account and how

1376
01:01:21,985 --> 01:01:24,025
We're able to Yeah, the sweep account,

1377
01:01:24,025 --> 01:01:25,945
basically the way we're setting up the checking account,

1378
01:01:25,945 --> 01:01:27,985
which is again, it's gonna take some

1379
01:01:27,985 --> 01:01:30,745
of the human element outta the process sweep accounts.

1380
01:01:30,745 --> 01:01:33,145
Basically this, we put the money into our main checking

1381
01:01:33,145 --> 01:01:35,265
account and we have a high and a low limit.

1382
01:01:35,615 --> 01:01:38,425
When we hit a low limit and we need money, it will go

1383
01:01:38,525 --> 01:01:39,705
and borrow for it.

1384
01:01:39,855 --> 01:01:42,585
When we have a high limit, it will take money out of that

1385
01:01:42,805 --> 01:01:44,345
and move it into an investment account.

1386
01:01:44,345 --> 01:01:45,665
It does it automatically for us.

1387
01:01:45,805 --> 01:01:48,465
So, so it'll take a little management to begin with

1388
01:01:48,475 --> 01:01:51,705
until we've got building up some of the algorithms

1389
01:01:51,705 --> 01:01:53,305
and how the, how the cash flows are working.

1390
01:01:53,765 --> 01:01:55,785
But I Can you say what the ceiling is

1391
01:01:55,805 --> 01:01:57,985
or how is it I, what I'm doing right now, to be honest,

1392
01:01:58,365 --> 01:02:00,545
is I'm going back, I, I had some issues

1393
01:02:00,615 --> 01:02:02,105
with the last 12 months.

1394
01:02:02,385 --> 01:02:05,345
I, I'm going back to our actual cash flows, our payroll,

1395
01:02:05,525 --> 01:02:08,585
our payables, and I'm gonna do like a monthly trend on

1396
01:02:08,585 --> 01:02:09,825
that and see what the highs.

1397
01:02:09,845 --> 01:02:10,825
That's a very good question

1398
01:02:10,825 --> 01:02:12,745
because that's what you have to do.

1399
01:02:13,175 --> 01:02:17,105
Okay. But the point I'm trying to make here is

1400
01:02:17,965 --> 01:02:20,475
this is simpler, it's gonna be easier to use

1401
01:02:20,655 --> 01:02:23,915
and it's, it's a more efficient use of the taxpayer money

1402
01:02:24,015 --> 01:02:25,115
and for the school's

1403
01:02:25,325 --> 01:02:27,395
Needs fewer opportunities for mistakes

1404
01:02:27,415 --> 01:02:29,155
or somebody forgetting to transfer cash

1405
01:02:29,155 --> 01:02:31,555
and things of that nature or getting the wrong number

1406
01:02:31,575 --> 01:02:32,715
and going into the wrong account

1407
01:02:33,015 --> 01:02:35,075
and saying, well I really meant to have it going X or Y.

1408
01:02:35,095 --> 01:02:37,155
So takes some of human error out

1409
01:02:37,335 --> 01:02:39,355
and still has a good decent return on

1410
01:02:40,325 --> 01:02:41,515
money when it's in a high level.

1411
01:02:45,135 --> 01:02:46,835
How would you like us

1412
01:02:46,855 --> 01:02:49,075
to state the recommendation if we made a motion?

1413
01:02:50,365 --> 01:02:53,105
The tanam amount, The tanama basically we need to,

1414
01:02:53,125 --> 01:02:56,065
the TANAM amount's gonna be for Winfield is

1415
01:02:57,085 --> 01:03:01,825
1.414 $1,414,447

1416
01:03:02,045 --> 01:03:03,225
is the tan recommendation

1417
01:03:03,565 --> 01:03:04,565
Put up here on the board.

1418
01:03:08,155 --> 01:03:10,135
So I'd like to make a recommendation.

1419
01:03:10,395 --> 01:03:15,095
Recommendation for the 1,000,440 $14,447

1420
01:03:15,955 --> 01:03:17,575
tan amount to be put into

1421
01:03:18,905 --> 01:03:21,655
the FIC bank. Is

1422
01:03:21,655 --> 01:03:22,655
That correct?

1423
01:03:22,655 --> 01:03:25,855
Yeah, you could just say, I would say give authorization

1424
01:03:25,875 --> 01:03:27,935
to take out a tan in the amount of Yeah, exactly.

1425
01:03:27,935 --> 01:03:30,135
Yeah. Authorization to, yeah. A

1426
01:03:30,135 --> 01:03:34,365
Tanam motion to authorize a tan

1427
01:03:34,505 --> 01:03:34,725
of

1428
01:03:34,745 --> 01:03:39,745
$1,414,447 a second.

1429
01:03:42,085 --> 01:03:46,815
I'll second it. Thanks Jenna. All in favor say aye.

1430
01:03:47,115 --> 01:03:48,655
Aye. Aye. Opposed?

1431
01:03:49,435 --> 01:03:52,435
Thank you Rita. Okay,

1432
01:03:53,015 --> 01:03:54,275
Any other questions on that or

1433
01:03:55,285 --> 01:03:56,315
Don't we have to also

1434
01:03:57,285 --> 01:03:59,475
We'll sign, you'll have signatures, you'll

1435
01:03:59,475 --> 01:04:00,475
Get digital signatures.

1436
01:04:00,475 --> 01:04:02,035
Yeah, you'll all get an email.

1437
01:04:02,635 --> 01:04:04,355
I knew where you're going. Saw that hand go up for that

1438
01:04:04,555 --> 01:04:05,555
Sentence.

1439
01:04:05,555 --> 01:04:05,555
Yep.

1440
01:04:10,375 --> 01:04:12,345
Just say the name of the different

1441
01:04:12,345 --> 01:04:13,585
system you're using this time.

1442
01:04:14,155 --> 01:04:15,945
Sweep account. Sweep account. You're using a

1443
01:04:15,945 --> 01:04:16,945
Sweep.

1444
01:04:16,945 --> 01:04:18,665
Yeah, it's called an insure sweep account.

1445
01:04:18,665 --> 01:04:19,825
And the way, the way it works,

1446
01:04:21,785 --> 01:04:23,265
I won't get too much into the weeds here.

1447
01:04:23,375 --> 01:04:27,705
Yeah, I know. Basically the FDIC ensures 250,000 bucks

1448
01:04:28,365 --> 01:04:30,465
and what will happen is, is they will take that chunk out

1449
01:04:30,465 --> 01:04:31,465
and they'll keep it under that

1450
01:04:31,465 --> 01:04:34,025
and put it into different investment accounts when we have

1451
01:04:34,025 --> 01:04:36,825
that And what will happen is that's well under the FDIC

1452
01:04:36,825 --> 01:04:39,385
so it's, it's kinda like taking it, putting it back in,

1453
01:04:39,385 --> 01:04:40,705
taking it and putting it back in.

1454
01:04:41,965 --> 01:04:44,785
I'm not anticipating using much

1455
01:04:44,785 --> 01:04:46,985
of the tan based upon the cash flows

1456
01:04:47,015 --> 01:04:48,105
I've seen with Twinfield.

1457
01:04:49,015 --> 01:04:51,665
It's one of the better managed solutions.

1458
01:04:51,735 --> 01:04:53,865
Well here's the other thing to think about is

1459
01:04:53,865 --> 01:04:58,305
that we've had Some cash behind

1460
01:04:58,405 --> 01:05:00,505
and eventually it'd be nice to get to the point

1461
01:05:00,745 --> 01:05:02,225
where we have such a cash reserve

1462
01:05:02,255 --> 01:05:04,385
that we can just use our cash reserve

1463
01:05:04,385 --> 01:05:05,545
and not worry about a tan there.

1464
01:05:05,545 --> 01:05:08,505
Our districts out there that have that cushion from one year

1465
01:05:08,505 --> 01:05:10,105
to the next and it's just in the savings

1466
01:05:10,105 --> 01:05:11,265
account so to speak.

1467
01:05:11,285 --> 01:05:12,625
And we can use that to cover.

1468
01:05:13,225 --> 01:05:15,425
But having that tan there, it's like insurance in a sense.

1469
01:05:15,425 --> 01:05:17,325
If you do go below it

1470
01:05:17,325 --> 01:05:20,445
and you, you're like, oh man, I'm not buying gas this week

1471
01:05:20,985 --> 01:05:23,765
we we're able to tap into the can to be able to get the cash

1472
01:05:24,665 --> 01:05:27,605
to cover until that new influx of revenue comes in

1473
01:05:27,605 --> 01:05:28,765
and we pay it back down.

1474
01:05:32,195 --> 01:05:32,395
Excellent.

1475
01:05:36,375 --> 01:05:38,535
District cash flows. That was it.

1476
01:05:38,565 --> 01:05:40,575
That was it. Yep. We had it up there. Technically

1477
01:05:40,575 --> 01:05:41,695
A tan is a cash flows.

1478
01:05:41,715 --> 01:05:43,135
I'm sorry, I kind of confused that term.

1479
01:05:43,525 --> 01:05:45,735
Well you were explaining when the revenues come in

1480
01:05:45,835 --> 01:05:46,935
and the reason for the tan,

1481
01:05:46,995 --> 01:05:48,415
that's part of the cash flows there.

1482
01:05:48,555 --> 01:05:49,555
So.

1483
01:05:50,285 --> 01:05:51,895
Well thank you so much John. Thank you.

1484
01:05:55,205 --> 01:05:59,665
Let's go to new hires. I'm curious. Great. Yeah,

1485
01:06:00,665 --> 01:06:03,505
I have two new hires to bring to you.

1486
01:06:04,625 --> 01:06:05,985
J Levine applied

1487
01:06:06,285 --> 01:06:09,945
and interviewed super well for a secondary interventionist.

1488
01:06:10,815 --> 01:06:12,465
That is a position that was gone

1489
01:06:12,465 --> 01:06:16,005
through a couple different configurations trying

1490
01:06:16,025 --> 01:06:19,085
to find someone to help support our students with

1491
01:06:21,065 --> 01:06:24,405
and by shifting it to a broad academic interventionist,

1492
01:06:24,505 --> 01:06:26,365
we were able to score some people

1493
01:06:26,365 --> 01:06:27,645
with a special ed background.

1494
01:06:28,275 --> 01:06:30,245
Nice. Of Which Judd is one of them.

1495
01:06:30,805 --> 01:06:33,085
Excellent, excellent. This is Justin Ferman.

1496
01:06:34,285 --> 01:06:36,905
He, that's how the position started. Okay.

1497
01:06:36,975 --> 01:06:38,585
Judd is going to help with reading

1498
01:06:38,685 --> 01:06:40,385
and math from not high school.

1499
01:06:41,935 --> 01:06:43,505
He's in kind of a funky position

1500
01:06:44,755 --> 01:06:46,505
where he is officially retiring

1501
01:06:46,845 --> 01:06:48,425
so will be joining us part-time.

1502
01:06:50,105 --> 01:06:52,365
We are going to load his schedule heavy

1503
01:06:52,365 --> 01:06:53,485
at the beginning of the year.

1504
01:06:53,695 --> 01:06:57,045
He'll be working with our staff as well as our students

1505
01:06:57,865 --> 01:07:01,845
to build up systems that support kids in class as well

1506
01:07:01,845 --> 01:07:03,325
as providing some pull out services

1507
01:07:04,105 --> 01:07:06,005
and then fading back throughout the year.

1508
01:07:06,985 --> 01:07:08,365
Is it just a one year hired?

1509
01:07:09,415 --> 01:07:11,665
That is what Judd is able to get right now. Okay.

1510
01:07:12,575 --> 01:07:16,545
Because of that, the contract that we're offering

1511
01:07:16,545 --> 01:07:17,945
to him is a long-term sub

1512
01:07:18,775 --> 01:07:21,155
and the position is still posted online

1513
01:07:22,335 --> 01:07:24,795
and if we find someone who is able to

1514
01:07:25,335 --> 01:07:28,195
do the job full-time, we will make that switch.

1515
01:07:28,545 --> 01:07:30,555
It's a good, how do you wanna say?

1516
01:07:30,555 --> 01:07:34,155
Interim decision to still fulfilled the needs but leaving

1517
01:07:34,215 --> 01:07:35,995
and open to that if you can find something that can

1518
01:07:36,575 --> 01:07:39,155
do everything a good win-win. I think there

1519
01:07:39,265 --> 01:07:41,515
Because he has a special ed license, so.

1520
01:07:41,575 --> 01:07:45,155
Yep. When you say load, load his schedule heavily,

1521
01:07:45,545 --> 01:07:48,395
like full-time essentially at first or, yes.

1522
01:07:48,505 --> 01:07:52,835
Okay. Yep. Does he have any like hard lines of when

1523
01:07:53,625 --> 01:07:56,035
like four days starting in November?

1524
01:07:56,035 --> 01:07:57,995
Like is it gonna be mapped out

1525
01:07:57,995 --> 01:07:59,435
or you're gonna kind of work with

1526
01:08:00,565 --> 01:08:01,565
A little bit of both?

1527
01:08:01,565 --> 01:08:03,885
Yeah, he'll start day one with us. Okay.

1528
01:08:04,385 --> 01:08:06,525
And start four days a week

1529
01:08:07,745 --> 01:08:10,805
or I think the first semester is how sugars out.

1530
01:08:11,265 --> 01:08:14,045
And you say he'll be doing professional development also.

1531
01:08:14,445 --> 01:08:16,125
I did not let you know he will Jeff,

1532
01:08:16,515 --> 01:08:17,725
That One.

1533
01:08:19,235 --> 01:08:22,405
This gentleman will be working under a threshold of

1534
01:08:22,405 --> 01:08:23,525
how much money they'll be able

1535
01:08:23,525 --> 01:08:27,725
to make since it They're a retiree so that, yeah.

1536
01:08:27,945 --> 01:08:31,065
So they can use 'em, they can stretch it out,

1537
01:08:31,375 --> 01:08:32,625
they could compact it,

1538
01:08:32,845 --> 01:08:35,625
but that amount of money that that person can earn

1539
01:08:35,645 --> 01:08:37,385
for the year we, for them they need

1540
01:08:37,385 --> 01:08:38,425
to stay under that threshold.

1541
01:08:38,645 --> 01:08:40,585
Got it. Unless you're Joanne Canning

1542
01:08:43,125 --> 01:08:46,025
Now if he wanted to, which doesn't sound like he wants to

1543
01:08:46,025 --> 01:08:50,785
and that's says retired, he can go to the retirement system

1544
01:08:50,785 --> 01:08:53,105
and say freeze my retirement for this year as of July one.

1545
01:08:53,105 --> 01:08:55,025
Right. Then they could work full time.

1546
01:08:55,025 --> 01:08:56,305
It just kinda like puts it on pause.

1547
01:08:56,415 --> 01:08:57,545
Does it sound like they wanna do that?

1548
01:08:57,665 --> 01:08:59,865
I don't blame them. There you go.

1549
01:09:00,855 --> 01:09:03,535
I do wanna note that, yes, he is officially retiring

1550
01:09:03,755 --> 01:09:06,815
and has started talking with me in March

1551
01:09:06,815 --> 01:09:08,295
because he wants to be here.

1552
01:09:08,525 --> 01:09:09,525
Cool. Reporting.

1553
01:09:10,435 --> 01:09:12,015
That's awesome. Excellent.

1554
01:09:12,635 --> 01:09:13,975
Do you know where he retired from?

1555
01:09:14,675 --> 01:09:17,255
London. You know him?

1556
01:09:17,475 --> 01:09:19,375
No, I just read the, oh,

1557
01:09:19,865 --> 01:09:21,935
there a personal connection to Twinfield.

1558
01:09:22,155 --> 01:09:24,655
What's, what's the desire? He is local.

1559
01:09:25,195 --> 01:09:26,455
His kids went here. Oh cool.

1560
01:09:28,015 --> 01:09:30,135
I think Rachel and I had them in class.

1561
01:09:31,365 --> 01:09:33,735
Another officer in college doing wonderful things.

1562
01:09:35,765 --> 01:09:36,935
Yeah, because you would've had him young.

1563
01:09:39,105 --> 01:09:41,045
Is there a motion to hire Jed Levine

1564
01:09:41,145 --> 01:09:43,205
as the second interventionist?

1565
01:09:44,965 --> 01:09:47,745
Yes. Do that motion. Alright.

1566
01:09:47,815 --> 01:09:49,985
Sarah's got a motion. Do we have a second?

1567
01:09:50,575 --> 01:09:51,825
Very well verbalized there.

1568
01:09:53,175 --> 01:09:54,705
Talk much Not good now. Yes, Phil.

1569
01:09:55,405 --> 01:09:57,025
Andrew will be the second. All right.

1570
01:09:57,305 --> 01:10:00,985
Everyone in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Anyone? Aye.

1571
01:10:01,645 --> 01:10:05,935
Thank you Rita. All right. So please extend to Jed.

1572
01:10:05,935 --> 01:10:08,415
We're very appreciative that he is coming back in.

1573
01:10:10,195 --> 01:10:11,495
All right. Your band music teacher,

1574
01:10:12,935 --> 01:10:13,935
Giovanni.

1575
01:10:13,935 --> 01:10:16,935
Roberto is also someone who is seeing the good work

1576
01:10:16,935 --> 01:10:18,055
that we're doing in Twinfield

1577
01:10:18,915 --> 01:10:21,855
and reached out when he saw the opening, came

1578
01:10:21,855 --> 01:10:25,115
and met with me and Jane has kids in the building.

1579
01:10:25,415 --> 01:10:27,675
So was hearing what's going well, where there's area

1580
01:10:27,695 --> 01:10:31,325
for growth and he is coming in with

1581
01:10:32,445 --> 01:10:34,565
a unique experience and background.

1582
01:10:35,585 --> 01:10:40,085
He is a professional musician who has been playing gigs

1583
01:10:40,085 --> 01:10:43,285
with different music educators who keep poking at him

1584
01:10:43,305 --> 01:10:45,725
to do more than the lessons that he's doing right now.

1585
01:10:47,305 --> 01:10:51,285
He did one year, I believe, in a classroom in Colorado

1586
01:10:52,285 --> 01:10:54,825
and is ready to dive back into

1587
01:10:55,545 --> 01:10:57,025
teaching the instruments at Twinfield.

1588
01:10:58,255 --> 01:11:01,315
Wow. That's a racist. Yep. Very cool.

1589
01:11:02,615 --> 01:11:05,795
And I poked in all the band cupboards this afternoon

1590
01:11:06,215 --> 01:11:07,715
and he is already making mental notes

1591
01:11:07,775 --> 01:11:08,995
of, well what if we do this?

1592
01:11:09,025 --> 01:11:10,515
What about this? Oh this is weird.

1593
01:11:10,515 --> 01:11:13,685
Where'd this come from? Excited.

1594
01:11:14,035 --> 01:11:17,925
What do we have going now for music and band?

1595
01:11:18,335 --> 01:11:20,485
She's leaving. She's leaving? Yep. Okay.

1596
01:11:21,715 --> 01:11:23,525
What about the person who's doing a theater?

1597
01:11:25,385 --> 01:11:27,045
The unicorn that we hired Last year. Okay.

1598
01:11:27,045 --> 01:11:28,925
So there will be no theater next year?

1599
01:11:29,665 --> 01:11:30,885
No, no, no. Okay.

1600
01:11:33,195 --> 01:11:34,895
My middle school kids are making sure

1601
01:11:34,895 --> 01:11:36,535
that that is not going away. Yeah,

1602
01:11:36,735 --> 01:11:38,495
I can imagine It's going to look different.

1603
01:11:39,115 --> 01:11:41,535
Mel came in with that experience in her back pocket.

1604
01:11:42,775 --> 01:11:45,575
Giovanni is going to learn how to do that.

1605
01:11:46,115 --> 01:11:49,135
Our French teacher Nick Madison also

1606
01:11:49,135 --> 01:11:50,215
has experience with theater.

1607
01:11:50,605 --> 01:11:54,935
Nice. So she and Giovan are gonna do singing together.

1608
01:11:55,155 --> 01:11:56,215
That's great. Great.

1609
01:11:57,385 --> 01:12:01,645
He also has a lot of technical experience

1610
01:12:01,715 --> 01:12:03,885
with like running different performances.

1611
01:12:04,985 --> 01:12:07,645
So we talked today about shifting one of our practice rooms

1612
01:12:07,705 --> 01:12:08,845
to a recording studio

1613
01:12:09,345 --> 01:12:13,165
so kids can record not only their music but podcasts

1614
01:12:13,165 --> 01:12:15,285
and other presentation types for classes

1615
01:12:15,425 --> 01:12:16,445
beyond just specific,

1616
01:12:17,745 --> 01:12:19,925
You know, that would be an interesting partnership

1617
01:12:19,925 --> 01:12:23,605
with Jody, you know, to talk about what we offer

1618
01:12:23,755 --> 01:12:26,685
that provides that kind of support to

1619
01:12:27,245 --> 01:12:31,815
possibly get support from, you know, CBCC. Yeah,

1620
01:12:32,375 --> 01:12:33,375
I appreciate that.

1621
01:12:33,375 --> 01:12:35,695
And I'm laughing 'cause Rachel has been playing phone

1622
01:12:35,695 --> 01:12:36,815
and email time trying

1623
01:12:36,815 --> 01:12:37,895
to get their preschool person

1624
01:12:37,895 --> 01:12:39,095
connected with our program too.

1625
01:12:39,245 --> 01:12:40,245
Yeah.

1626
01:12:40,715 --> 01:12:44,775
Oh good. 'cause right now we're doing capstone

1627
01:12:45,235 --> 01:12:50,105
and he's, do we have a motion

1628
01:12:50,285 --> 01:12:51,825
for Johnny tto?

1629
01:12:52,625 --> 01:12:54,185
I make a motion chair

1630
01:12:54,405 --> 01:12:57,985
second to Sarah.

1631
01:13:00,485 --> 01:13:03,745
All in favor of hiring Johnny as the music teacher say aye.

1632
01:13:03,885 --> 01:13:08,415
Aye. Aye. Aye. Anyone opposed? Great.

1633
01:13:08,515 --> 01:13:10,935
Please extend or welcome to Johnny Rivera.

1634
01:13:11,435 --> 01:13:13,695
You said something, a different first name. Sorry.

1635
01:13:13,795 --> 01:13:15,015
It says Johnny here, but you.

1636
01:13:15,395 --> 01:13:17,655
He has been sending me emails signed

1637
01:13:17,655 --> 01:13:19,015
to Johnny and Giovanni.

1638
01:13:19,475 --> 01:13:21,655
So today before he left the building, meaning pick one

1639
01:13:21,805 --> 01:13:23,935
that we're going with and he is one with Giovanni

1640
01:13:24,255 --> 01:13:25,255
Giovan.

1641
01:13:25,255 --> 01:13:26,375
Mr. So beautiful.

1642
01:13:27,135 --> 01:13:29,695
Giovanni Rosata more beautiful isn't it?

1643
01:13:29,695 --> 01:13:30,695
Yeah, it's got Ring toy.

1644
01:13:33,585 --> 01:13:37,175
He'll be working with a licensing program,

1645
01:13:38,605 --> 01:13:40,795
build up his repertoire and experience

1646
01:13:41,775 --> 01:13:42,835
Is the licensing program.

1647
01:13:44,455 --> 01:13:46,185
There's a couple models out there right now.

1648
01:13:46,185 --> 01:13:48,145
Do we know which one he's gonna be using yet?

1649
01:13:48,285 --> 01:13:52,545
He is looking at tap or peer review has music Bachelor's.

1650
01:13:53,045 --> 01:13:54,585
He does have music. Bachelor's, that's right.

1651
01:13:54,695 --> 01:13:56,065
Okay. Well peer review.

1652
01:13:56,295 --> 01:13:57,745
Will it be a mentor also

1653
01:13:58,275 --> 01:13:59,385
Would all of our new hires?

1654
01:13:59,385 --> 01:14:00,385
Yes. Yeah.

1655
01:14:00,885 --> 01:14:04,055
Yeah. I know just from my limited experience

1656
01:14:04,205 --> 01:14:06,905
that very limited experience.

1657
01:14:06,995 --> 01:14:10,105
Music is a very challenging area to get certified in.

1658
01:14:10,105 --> 01:14:11,445
So it'd be interesting know CAP

1659
01:14:11,985 --> 01:14:15,175
or the peer review process would be

1660
01:14:16,785 --> 01:14:18,695
which ones to get the higher success rate I guess.

1661
01:14:18,805 --> 01:14:21,325
Yeah. Music's tough getting certified

1662
01:14:21,325 --> 01:14:22,605
and there's a lot of pieces to it.

1663
01:14:24,235 --> 01:14:25,285
Does he have a preference?

1664
01:14:25,825 --> 01:14:27,165
That's where I kind of, I was leaning

1665
01:14:27,165 --> 01:14:28,125
because they just kinda hold your hand

1666
01:14:28,125 --> 01:14:28,845
right through it. Yeah.

1667
01:14:29,265 --> 01:14:30,765
I'm sorry. Do you know what? Does he have

1668
01:14:30,805 --> 01:14:32,885
A preference between tap and peer review?

1669
01:14:33,305 --> 01:14:35,205
He is digging into both. Okay.

1670
01:14:36,075 --> 01:14:38,085
Nice thing about tap is it's program you follow

1671
01:14:38,085 --> 01:14:39,165
what they kind of guide you through.

1672
01:14:39,165 --> 01:14:41,125
Whereas peer review a lot more loosey

1673
01:14:41,125 --> 01:14:42,125
Goosey.

1674
01:14:42,125 --> 01:14:43,845
Goy goosey. Yeah. Or you could also do it in two weeks.

1675
01:14:45,065 --> 01:14:46,125
No, with a music program.

1676
01:14:48,615 --> 01:14:51,475
All right. Anything else to be said about the new hires?

1677
01:14:51,575 --> 01:14:55,235
Do you have one position left to hire for third grade?

1678
01:14:56,055 --> 01:14:57,795
We just third grade. Okay.

1679
01:14:58,055 --> 01:14:59,955
But that's the only one, right? What did you say, Rachel?

1680
01:15:00,325 --> 01:15:01,755
Third grade. Our long term stuff.

1681
01:15:04,545 --> 01:15:06,485
And I also brag really quickly about our

1682
01:15:06,485 --> 01:15:07,525
home to school coordinator.

1683
01:15:07,835 --> 01:15:11,485
Yeah, yeah. Maria Amador is going to be joining our staff.

1684
01:15:12,345 --> 01:15:14,365
She has been connecting with families already,

1685
01:15:14,835 --> 01:15:17,205
just supporting new families into our building

1686
01:15:18,485 --> 01:15:20,065
and she's so cool. Thank God

1687
01:15:20,705 --> 01:15:23,385
I don't, I think I missed this entire,

1688
01:15:24,405 --> 01:15:25,945
Why don't you talk about the Yeah.

1689
01:15:25,965 --> 01:15:28,465
Administrative role that we

1690
01:15:33,885 --> 01:15:34,895
Another Way to do it.

1691
01:15:34,965 --> 01:15:37,935
Yeah. One of our admin assistants left this year

1692
01:15:38,995 --> 01:15:41,535
and instead of replacing her in that position,

1693
01:15:41,915 --> 01:15:46,495
we looked at the roles and divided them between Ella

1694
01:15:46,495 --> 01:15:50,975
and Dei and that freed up a position that we reconfigured

1695
01:15:51,075 --> 01:15:52,455
to be home to school coordinator.

1696
01:15:52,875 --> 01:15:54,935
So they are an administrative assistant,

1697
01:15:55,295 --> 01:15:57,695
but their focus will be in the homeschool field.

1698
01:15:59,005 --> 01:16:00,825
What's her background? Does she have a social

1699
01:16:00,825 --> 01:16:01,985
work background or?

1700
01:16:02,725 --> 01:16:05,465
She is a writer. She is is social organizer.

1701
01:16:05,885 --> 01:16:08,945
She is working at Harvard right now connecting families

1702
01:16:09,055 --> 01:16:11,185
with resources in the community.

1703
01:16:11,625 --> 01:16:12,625
Fabulous. Which is exactly

1704
01:16:12,625 --> 01:16:13,225
What Fabulous.

1705
01:16:13,725 --> 01:16:17,145
That's great. Maria Amador,

1706
01:16:17,575 --> 01:16:18,575
Full-time.

1707
01:16:18,575 --> 01:16:20,145
Amador? Yes. Okay. Maria,

1708
01:16:21,125 --> 01:16:23,945
Is that the old, our previous French teacher's name?

1709
01:16:24,495 --> 01:16:27,225
Nope. Morgan Amador lives in Tust now.

1710
01:16:27,445 --> 01:16:29,865
Oh, okay. That's a good memory.

1711
01:16:31,335 --> 01:16:33,145
Well, she like to know,

1712
01:16:35,525 --> 01:16:37,985
I'm curious just like for future stuff, just

1713
01:16:38,145 --> 01:16:39,305
'cause I feel like I like missed.

1714
01:16:39,335 --> 01:16:41,545
Yeah. Like I'm wondering if we could get like some sort

1715
01:16:41,545 --> 01:16:43,505
of like, I didn't know the music teacher was leaving.

1716
01:16:43,505 --> 01:16:44,745
Maybe I missed something.

1717
01:16:44,885 --> 01:16:47,105
Or maybe I'm just not in the school as much as you are,

1718
01:16:48,325 --> 01:16:51,745
but if, or like somebody's leaving or we hired this Yeah.

1719
01:16:51,765 --> 01:16:53,065
You know, new or like

1720
01:16:53,485 --> 01:16:54,485
The monthly position being great.

1721
01:16:54,485 --> 01:16:55,865
Think monthly. I think the principal reports in the

1722
01:16:55,865 --> 01:16:57,185
place where we should put that information. Yeah.

1723
01:16:57,185 --> 01:17:00,025
But this would be helpful. Like I, I'm no opinions on,

1724
01:17:00,405 --> 01:17:03,545
you know, it just would be helpful information then.

1725
01:17:03,605 --> 01:17:06,665
No, Kim and Katie, she sent the

1726
01:17:07,205 --> 01:17:08,205
Yep.

1727
01:17:08,205 --> 01:17:09,025
The information but yeah. And

1728
01:17:09,565 --> 01:17:11,965
Embedded in the, I think what it would've been, I,

1729
01:17:12,085 --> 01:17:13,085
I think part of this is timing

1730
01:17:13,085 --> 01:17:14,925
between the last meeting and this meeting.

1731
01:17:14,925 --> 01:17:19,245
Right? So if during the last

1732
01:17:20,295 --> 01:17:23,005
month when we had our last meeting, if, I don't know

1733
01:17:23,005 --> 01:17:24,365
where they were in their timeframe of when people

1734
01:17:24,365 --> 01:17:25,685
resigning and things of that nature.

1735
01:17:26,005 --> 01:17:27,245
But I know that it has some part

1736
01:17:27,245 --> 01:17:28,925
of the impact and we can get it out to you.

1737
01:17:29,065 --> 01:17:31,325
But otherwise, I think the HR information much

1738
01:17:31,325 --> 01:17:32,325
Of impact.

1739
01:17:32,325 --> 01:17:35,915
It's also like just folks in community also expect us

1740
01:17:35,935 --> 01:17:37,275
to know all this stuff

1741
01:17:37,695 --> 01:17:39,275
and so they'll be like, what's happening with this?

1742
01:17:39,275 --> 01:17:40,275
And I

1743
01:17:40,575 --> 01:17:41,795
Me find out for you. Yes.

1744
01:17:42,265 --> 01:17:45,715
Yeah. If we, if there's an easy way to know. Yeah.

1745
01:17:46,675 --> 01:17:49,235
I believe we posted that, the open positions that we had

1746
01:17:49,905 --> 01:17:52,955
knowledge of in last month's report and

1747
01:17:54,245 --> 01:17:55,995
We're Going fast right now.

1748
01:17:56,105 --> 01:17:57,995
Cool. That's reasonable.

1749
01:17:58,215 --> 01:18:00,235
I'm very excited about the home to school coordinator.

1750
01:18:00,725 --> 01:18:04,595
She's so good. She C Perfect.

1751
01:18:04,975 --> 01:18:09,385
She is in Harwick. Cool. Great.

1752
01:18:10,375 --> 01:18:11,425
I'll pass her on the way here.

1753
01:18:14,205 --> 01:18:16,535
That kind of smoothly goes into a possible gathering

1754
01:18:16,535 --> 01:18:17,815
of information from the community.

1755
01:18:17,985 --> 01:18:20,855
Think the possible is yes. But how do we wanna do it? Okay.

1756
01:18:21,875 --> 01:18:23,055
Yes and yes. Yes.

1757
01:18:25,295 --> 01:18:27,155
Andrew, I think you Yes.

1758
01:18:27,595 --> 01:18:29,995
Put that on there last month though. Did I? Yeah.

1759
01:18:30,295 --> 01:18:31,295
Put that too.

1760
01:18:32,195 --> 01:18:34,475
I mean, I want it to happen and I,

1761
01:18:34,835 --> 01:18:37,325
I, I think I'm still

1762
01:18:39,465 --> 01:18:41,155
grappling with the best way to do that.

1763
01:18:41,275 --> 01:18:43,875
I was thrilled that we had such a great response to the

1764
01:18:44,615 --> 01:18:47,115
survey we put out last summer.

1765
01:18:48,785 --> 01:18:53,725
I mean, I think conversation is important as well.

1766
01:18:53,875 --> 01:18:55,925
Just knowing, I mean with that last survey,

1767
01:18:56,205 --> 01:18:58,635
I forget what the question was.

1768
01:18:58,715 --> 01:18:59,955
I at least one of the questions, it was like

1769
01:18:59,955 --> 01:19:01,435
40% of people were like undecided.

1770
01:19:01,435 --> 01:19:04,755
Like I don't know what's, you know, which speaks to

1771
01:19:05,625 --> 01:19:06,945
Conversation We did.

1772
01:19:07,045 --> 01:19:08,045
So I,

1773
01:19:08,905 --> 01:19:09,905
I don't know.

1774
01:19:09,905 --> 01:19:11,145
How do, how do we get people?

1775
01:19:12,495 --> 01:19:14,505
What if we had a homeschool coordinator?

1776
01:19:15,205 --> 01:19:17,185
No, but we need them to start tomorrow.

1777
01:19:18,625 --> 01:19:22,665
I actually have feedback from one of our staff parents,

1778
01:19:22,815 --> 01:19:24,785
community members, all the hat.

1779
01:19:24,895 --> 01:19:29,785
Awesome. She appreciates like the reach out

1780
01:19:29,785 --> 01:19:31,105
that you guys as the board are doing.

1781
01:19:31,965 --> 01:19:33,345
And I acknowledge

1782
01:19:33,345 --> 01:19:35,385
that sometimes you're not the right people.

1783
01:19:36,695 --> 01:19:38,595
So again, she didn't gimme a list.

1784
01:19:38,695 --> 01:19:40,835
But leveraging different leaders, so within the community

1785
01:19:41,545 --> 01:19:43,675
that connect with a wider range

1786
01:19:43,775 --> 01:19:45,515
of people for different groups.

1787
01:19:45,585 --> 01:19:47,835
Well it might be nice to have a forum then

1788
01:19:47,855 --> 01:19:51,635
and invite those people who can answer those questions that

1789
01:19:52,375 --> 01:19:53,675
are outside of approval.

1790
01:19:53,895 --> 01:19:55,955
But it would be a collaboration of us

1791
01:19:55,955 --> 01:19:57,195
with those community members.

1792
01:19:57,375 --> 01:19:58,875
And we could have a dinner,

1793
01:20:00,095 --> 01:20:02,035
We could have know high school students

1794
01:20:02,205 --> 01:20:03,675
facilitate some of those conversations.

1795
01:20:04,815 --> 01:20:07,420
Sounds good. Yeah. Write that down.

1796
01:20:07,420 --> 01:20:09,265
I'm not gonna, when when do we think

1797
01:20:10,345 --> 01:20:12,445
Erin's writing that down In the fall?

1798
01:20:13,395 --> 01:20:17,025
Well fall but it needs to be pretty fast.

1799
01:20:17,295 --> 01:20:20,465
Well we need to know who they wanna meet with, who want

1800
01:20:20,465 --> 01:20:21,785
that person for example.

1801
01:20:22,255 --> 01:20:26,265
What are the, who are the resources, what are the resources

1802
01:20:26,335 --> 01:20:28,105
that would be beneficial for them

1803
01:20:28,125 --> 01:20:29,865
to wanna make that connection?

1804
01:20:30,365 --> 01:20:32,545
In other words, like community members to leverage.

1805
01:20:33,165 --> 01:20:36,015
Is that what you're thinking? Do they have any thoughts?

1806
01:20:36,025 --> 01:20:37,815
Maybe you wanna reach out that person.

1807
01:20:38,495 --> 01:20:40,655
I can go fishing. Yeah. Thinking

1808
01:20:40,655 --> 01:20:43,175
About All of the people who are coordinating work on

1809
01:20:43,195 --> 01:20:44,695
the playing field press center.

1810
01:20:45,325 --> 01:20:46,975
Like there are some strong voices there.

1811
01:20:49,355 --> 01:20:50,935
So there's a plan for possible rec centers.

1812
01:20:51,655 --> 01:20:54,935
I know you mean the rec committee.

1813
01:20:55,115 --> 01:20:59,295
Rec committee rec. I

1814
01:21:02,265 --> 01:21:04,455
Start that rec, I mean tables at each

1815
01:21:04,455 --> 01:21:07,255
of the farmer's markets this summer you're gonna hit,

1816
01:21:07,955 --> 01:21:10,055
you know, folks that are connected to Twinfield

1817
01:21:10,055 --> 01:21:11,695
and those that aren't but are still in the community

1818
01:21:11,835 --> 01:21:12,975
and should know what's going on.

1819
01:21:13,165 --> 01:21:14,215
Yeah. Yeah.

1820
01:21:14,255 --> 01:21:19,075
I mean I'm certainly happy to, I don't, I mean I think,

1821
01:21:19,425 --> 01:21:20,755
gosh was it, I feel like it was

1822
01:21:20,755 --> 01:21:21,875
before I joined the school board.

1823
01:21:21,955 --> 01:21:25,395
I think people were doing like coffee at I know

1824
01:21:25,985 --> 01:21:27,915
somewhere Patrick and I did a couple of them.

1825
01:21:27,915 --> 01:21:30,075
Yeah. I couldn't go.

1826
01:21:30,135 --> 01:21:31,595
But I don't know if there's,

1827
01:21:31,755 --> 01:21:35,635
I think farmer's markets definitely coffee talks.

1828
01:21:35,635 --> 01:21:37,035
We could plan the time.

1829
01:21:37,145 --> 01:21:39,355
Yeah, I know that I have a handful of markets I can get you

1830
01:21:39,355 --> 01:21:40,475
to summer but not many.

1831
01:21:40,605 --> 01:21:42,155
Right? Yeah. As well.

1832
01:21:43,175 --> 01:21:45,195
So I'd be happy to do some coffee talks. Okay.

1833
01:21:45,195 --> 01:21:47,755
Because I, because I can't do most of the just

1834
01:21:48,305 --> 01:21:49,315
polling of the community.

1835
01:21:49,775 --> 01:21:51,315
Hey, how do you wanna, yeah.

1836
01:21:51,315 --> 01:21:53,395
Come talk to school board member. What are your questions?

1837
01:21:54,285 --> 01:21:56,425
You know, what are you thinking? Just to try to gather.

1838
01:21:56,645 --> 01:21:58,065
You can hit the crowd on the other end of the day

1839
01:21:58,065 --> 01:21:59,825
and do playing field positive pie.

1840
01:22:02,325 --> 01:22:05,475
Yep. Sounds good Right now. Yeah.

1841
01:22:07,275 --> 01:22:08,985
We'll invite you now. I have no idea.

1842
01:22:09,145 --> 01:22:13,265
I don't go every place. Much know there you see a lot

1843
01:22:13,265 --> 01:22:14,905
of cars, there's people there, so,

1844
01:22:15,805 --> 01:22:20,175
and I mean I'm, I'm happy to go to farmer's markets sometime

1845
01:22:20,275 --> 01:22:22,575
and just have a clipboard.

1846
01:22:22,725 --> 01:22:25,175
What are your questions? I wonder if there's a way

1847
01:22:25,175 --> 01:22:28,405
to loop in the librarians at all.

1848
01:22:28,835 --> 01:22:32,005
Even if it's just like here, the paper form or I don't know.

1849
01:22:32,475 --> 01:22:34,845
Well that's a good idea. Or there's a QR code code, right?

1850
01:22:34,945 --> 01:22:36,525
Or that's a good idea.

1851
01:22:36,655 --> 01:22:39,205
Would it make sense to have like our September

1852
01:22:39,945 --> 01:22:43,285
school board meeting be a bit of like an open discussion

1853
01:22:44,145 --> 01:22:46,365
and make sure that we're like really putting the word out

1854
01:22:46,365 --> 01:22:48,965
to invite community in maybe.

1855
01:22:49,065 --> 01:22:51,365
Or would we not be ready for that? Or maybe October.

1856
01:22:52,045 --> 01:22:54,365
September's still fine I think. I think the issue is is us

1857
01:22:54,465 --> 01:22:56,165
having meetings, people don't show.

1858
01:22:56,285 --> 01:22:57,765
I think we've gotta go to them when

1859
01:22:57,765 --> 01:22:59,165
they actually are already here. So

1860
01:22:59,165 --> 01:23:00,165
There's back to school.

1861
01:23:00,185 --> 01:23:01,725
But what are we, yeah, yeah.

1862
01:23:01,985 --> 01:23:03,725
Are we collecting, are we trying

1863
01:23:03,725 --> 01:23:04,725
to gather information

1864
01:23:04,785 --> 01:23:06,165
of Might be. It could be little bit of both.

1865
01:23:06,525 --> 01:23:08,365
I think so. I mean we've got decisions we've

1866
01:23:08,365 --> 01:23:09,365
Gotta make.

1867
01:23:09,365 --> 01:23:10,405
I think we have another Google survey

1868
01:23:10,545 --> 01:23:12,485
and that could be a QR code at libraries

1869
01:23:12,625 --> 01:23:15,005
and also something we have with you to go

1870
01:23:15,005 --> 01:23:17,525
to different venues around markfield.

1871
01:23:17,985 --> 01:23:20,725
But then also, you know, conversations how

1872
01:23:20,725 --> 01:23:21,925
to table the farmer's market.

1873
01:23:22,305 --> 01:23:24,965
Yep. School board member here. What do you wanna talk about?

1874
01:23:25,445 --> 01:23:26,725
I like the idea it happens.

1875
01:23:27,325 --> 01:23:28,925
I like the idea of having a QR code too.

1876
01:23:29,085 --> 01:23:30,405
'cause even if it's like, hey, you showed up

1877
01:23:30,405 --> 01:23:32,725
and you talked to me, would you be willing to quickly

1878
01:23:33,545 --> 01:23:36,445
put your bullet points in this, on this Google survey?

1879
01:23:36,925 --> 01:23:38,245
Like yes, I'm making notes of them,

1880
01:23:38,245 --> 01:23:40,525
but we want like one place where everything is housed

1881
01:23:40,905 --> 01:23:44,045
or do you mind if I, you know, type it in

1882
01:23:44,045 --> 01:23:46,205
and paraphrase here's what I would put in.

1883
01:23:47,405 --> 01:23:51,405
'cause I think being able to have yeah, able have

1884
01:23:51,405 --> 01:23:53,085
that in one place would be really feasible.

1885
01:23:54,075 --> 01:23:56,405
Instead of, you know, deciding who's gonna go

1886
01:23:56,405 --> 01:23:57,485
to what Farmer's market.

1887
01:23:57,695 --> 01:24:01,445
Let's just each take three opportunities this summer

1888
01:24:02,125 --> 01:24:03,205
whenever it fits into your schedule

1889
01:24:03,505 --> 01:24:04,765
to either hold a coffee talk

1890
01:24:04,765 --> 01:24:06,525
that's promoted on front porch forum

1891
01:24:06,745 --> 01:24:09,725
or go to a farmer's market or some other event.

1892
01:24:10,185 --> 01:24:13,405
How that then you can just decide what works for you.

1893
01:24:15,405 --> 01:24:18,385
And I'll let the front porch forum notes know

1894
01:24:18,385 --> 01:24:20,505
that there will be school board members about town

1895
01:24:21,215 --> 01:24:22,345
find us and talk to us.

1896
01:24:24,935 --> 01:24:26,665
Yeah. Would you,

1897
01:24:27,715 --> 01:24:30,705
Would, Would having the QR code be something

1898
01:24:30,705 --> 01:24:33,225
that we could do sap?

1899
01:24:34,535 --> 01:24:36,145
Yeah. Or hopefully not.

1900
01:24:36,245 --> 01:24:40,985
So we have it on a clipboard and Right, right. So or link.

1901
01:24:41,105 --> 01:24:42,185
I got it in the next,

1902
01:24:42,605 --> 01:24:44,625
in the next week I'll mock up a Google

1903
01:24:44,625 --> 01:24:45,945
survey and you all can look at it.

1904
01:24:46,015 --> 01:24:47,385
Okay. And then just write to me

1905
01:24:47,385 --> 01:24:49,065
and we'll find out what questions we want.

1906
01:24:50,635 --> 01:24:51,635
Definitely

1907
01:24:54,445 --> 01:24:58,015
Thinking if we are able to, we can get it

1908
01:24:58,395 --> 01:25:00,615
before the end of the school year.

1909
01:25:01,125 --> 01:25:03,215
Parents there. That's Tuesday. I know

1910
01:25:04,135 --> 01:25:05,135
I can't.

1911
01:25:05,275 --> 01:25:06,655
No, no, no. I'm saying if the survey,

1912
01:25:08,405 --> 01:25:09,405
Do what?

1913
01:25:09,405 --> 01:25:10,385
Survey? Print out a QR code

1914
01:25:10,385 --> 01:25:11,705
and send home in every backpack or

1915
01:25:11,725 --> 01:25:12,725
No, no, no.

1916
01:25:12,725 --> 01:25:14,225
Just to go out on Parents Square. And I guess maybe we send

1917
01:25:14,225 --> 01:25:15,745
that parents square things after school's done.

1918
01:25:15,745 --> 01:25:17,305
I don't know. But we can do that. But okay.

1919
01:25:19,345 --> 01:25:21,425
I know if parents are checking it, I get it on my phone

1920
01:25:21,445 --> 01:25:23,815
but I have no idea what the standard,

1921
01:25:24,825 --> 01:25:26,605
I'd love to have it back before a retreat.

1922
01:25:26,755 --> 01:25:29,765
Yeah. Just a public input collected. And what does it say?

1923
01:25:29,765 --> 01:25:32,165
We can review it then. Yeah. Yeah.

1924
01:25:32,385 --> 01:25:33,565
But also, yeah, good money.

1925
01:25:33,745 --> 01:25:35,965
The most time possible for people to fill it out.

1926
01:25:36,115 --> 01:25:40,555
Yeah, it all summer. Yep. Agreed. All right.

1927
01:25:40,555 --> 01:25:43,755
Policy review. We have F 23 capitalization of assets

1928
01:25:44,015 --> 01:25:45,555
and C3 transportation.

1929
01:25:46,215 --> 01:25:50,715
So F 23 is an increase from $5,000 to $10,000

1930
01:25:50,895 --> 01:25:53,195
for per the federal regulation update.

1931
01:25:53,295 --> 01:25:55,355
So we need an update our policy there.

1932
01:25:55,855 --> 01:25:59,075
And the seat three three transportation is just us two.

1933
01:26:00,495 --> 01:26:02,835
It just, and it's been two years I think since

1934
01:26:02,835 --> 01:26:03,885
we've done this one.

1935
01:26:03,885 --> 01:26:06,725
And we just would like to have it updated

1936
01:26:06,865 --> 01:26:08,685
and there's no language change.

1937
01:26:08,755 --> 01:26:10,645
It's just, we've looked at it, it's time

1938
01:26:10,645 --> 01:26:14,165
to update it in the sense of been approved as of 2026

1939
01:26:14,165 --> 01:26:15,325
as opposed to 2023.

1940
01:26:16,425 --> 01:26:18,045
And this one, I'm assuming

1941
01:26:18,045 --> 01:26:20,645
that we still wanna provide transportation for kiddo.

1942
01:26:20,705 --> 01:26:24,485
So if we, when we approve that one, we would approve it

1943
01:26:24,485 --> 01:26:25,605
with the notion that we want

1944
01:26:25,605 --> 01:26:28,005
to provide transportation for our students.

1945
01:26:28,105 --> 01:26:29,105
As opposed

1946
01:26:29,835 --> 01:26:30,835
What?

1947
01:26:30,835 --> 01:26:32,725
What does it say in our current one as far

1948
01:26:32,725 --> 01:26:35,645
as this resident only or including non-resident students?

1949
01:26:36,465 --> 01:26:37,645
Or is that new language?

1950
01:26:37,945 --> 01:26:40,445
It it should be the exact same Everything all we're doing

1951
01:26:40,445 --> 01:26:41,605
is there's the

1952
01:26:41,745 --> 01:26:42,745
But what does it say?

1953
01:26:42,745 --> 01:26:44,805
An hour? It says here options.

1954
01:26:45,105 --> 01:26:47,885
Oh yeah. We currently, we provide transportation

1955
01:26:48,185 --> 01:26:51,885
so we wanna be, it is the policy of the

1956
01:26:53,115 --> 01:26:56,005
twinfield to furnish each legal pupil

1957
01:26:57,395 --> 01:26:59,555
specify resident and or Well

1958
01:26:59,555 --> 01:27:00,555
That's what I'm wondering.

1959
01:27:00,555 --> 01:27:01,915
What do what, what is, what do we say now?

1960
01:27:02,215 --> 01:27:04,515
Do we say we do resident. Resident or including

1961
01:27:04,515 --> 01:27:05,675
Non-resident? We do resident.

1962
01:27:05,985 --> 01:27:09,035
Okay. So the non-resident means someone potentially living

1963
01:27:09,065 --> 01:27:10,065
Outside.

1964
01:27:10,065 --> 01:27:11,835
Outside of, yep. But we don't wanna stretch ourselves out.

1965
01:27:12,625 --> 01:27:14,755
Okay. Go to Danville. Pick up a kid.

1966
01:27:15,015 --> 01:27:17,635
We accept this. Yeah, both of them.

1967
01:27:17,815 --> 01:27:20,115
The trans, well yeah, both of them really.

1968
01:27:20,215 --> 01:27:22,075
But I didn't know if you wanted to do it separately.

1969
01:27:22,335 --> 01:27:23,275
You probably need to do separately

1970
01:27:23,275 --> 01:27:24,395
just for the transportation one.

1971
01:27:24,895 --> 01:27:26,755
The transp. I'm talking about the transportation

1972
01:27:27,095 --> 01:27:28,395
one specifically there six.

1973
01:27:29,135 --> 01:27:31,475
All right. We have a motion. Forti. Do we have a second?

1974
01:27:31,865 --> 01:27:36,675
I'll second. Thank Cameron. All those in favor say aye.

1975
01:27:36,735 --> 01:27:41,665
Aye. Anyone opposed? All right. That C3 has been updated

1976
01:27:42,485 --> 01:27:44,225
And that one for us to provide transportation.

1977
01:27:44,295 --> 01:27:47,705
Just to clarify for the record. Yeah. Okay. There we go.

1978
01:27:48,605 --> 01:27:50,945
And did we do the F 23?

1979
01:27:52,105 --> 01:27:55,395
I'll make a motion to increase to $10,000

1980
01:27:55,455 --> 01:27:57,635
for the F 23 capitalization of assets.

1981
01:27:58,405 --> 01:28:00,145
We have a second. I'll second that.

1982
01:28:02,875 --> 01:28:07,175
Everyone in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Anyone opposed? Great.

1983
01:28:07,605 --> 01:28:09,775
Have updated that one. Thank you. You're welcome.

1984
01:28:11,075 --> 01:28:13,295
The last thing on our agenda is the teacher

1985
01:28:13,295 --> 01:28:14,415
appreciation lens.

1986
01:28:15,315 --> 01:28:17,255
So it is Tuesday, June 16th.

1987
01:28:18,315 --> 01:28:20,175
The teachers will come in at 1230.

1988
01:28:22,925 --> 01:28:26,325
I ordered the letters from Taste Vermont to say summer

1989
01:28:26,585 --> 01:28:29,605
of like a charcuterie board in it time last year place.

1990
01:28:30,165 --> 01:28:32,165
Gorgeous. Where did you order? Where? I picked it up.

1991
01:28:32,275 --> 01:28:34,645
Want me to pick it up? I love you to pick it up again.

1992
01:28:34,645 --> 01:28:37,565
Thank you. That will already be paid. Okay.

1993
01:28:37,595 --> 01:28:39,965
There's the invoices already out there.

1994
01:28:39,985 --> 01:28:43,255
And what time is there? Doesn't matter.

1995
01:28:43,535 --> 01:28:48,485
I would say have it here by noon. Okay. I work.

1996
01:28:50,225 --> 01:28:51,445
Is there anything we can do?

1997
01:28:51,825 --> 01:28:56,365
We need drinks and vegan desserts, plates, large and small.

1998
01:28:57,585 --> 01:29:01,485
And a vegan dish. I'm gonna make

1999
01:29:02,665 --> 01:29:05,085
two big salads to go with ACU board.

2000
01:29:05,105 --> 01:29:07,405
And then also this chickpea sheet cheese

2001
01:29:07,465 --> 01:29:10,565
and cherry tomato, olive oil roast that

2002
01:29:11,255 --> 01:29:12,285
could go on the salad.

2003
01:29:12,745 --> 01:29:14,165
And then I was gonna get two roasted

2004
01:29:14,165 --> 01:29:15,245
chickens and just cut it up.

2005
01:29:15,245 --> 01:29:18,885
Nice to make a chicken salad because Summer cicu so much.

2006
01:29:19,235 --> 01:29:21,725
Yeah. And then there's a cake at Birchgrove

2007
01:29:22,155 --> 01:29:23,485
that I ordered for everyone.

2008
01:29:24,395 --> 01:29:28,125
Okay. So we need a birchgrove pickup, a vegan dish.

2009
01:29:30,105 --> 01:29:32,765
The drinks and plates and cups you could get anytime

2010
01:29:32,945 --> 01:29:37,745
and drop 'em off to dei drinks like seltzers.

2011
01:29:38,455 --> 01:29:40,665
Fall and spring. Okay. Fall, spring.

2012
01:29:40,725 --> 01:29:43,265
That's what we've been doing. I can pick up the cake

2013
01:29:43,505 --> 01:29:44,505
assuming it's different.

2014
01:29:44,545 --> 01:29:45,425
I don't know. Where's the other,

2015
01:29:45,425 --> 01:29:46,505
where's the summer coming from?

2016
01:29:46,735 --> 01:29:49,785
It's different. The cake's. Birch Grove on Elm Street.

2017
01:29:50,085 --> 01:29:54,945
Elm Street. And anytime that morning they're open till noon.

2018
01:29:54,945 --> 01:29:59,585
That at if Fox would be willing

2019
01:29:59,845 --> 01:30:04,605
to Oh for making a vegan cake is sure a small one

2020
01:30:04,715 --> 01:30:09,325
because I got a big, I don't know, there's a handful

2021
01:30:09,385 --> 01:30:11,125
of vegans and I just wanna make sure we've

2022
01:30:11,125 --> 01:30:12,165
done like cookies in the past.

2023
01:30:13,975 --> 01:30:18,075
But it could be cake. Well I guess if it's,

2024
01:30:18,195 --> 01:30:19,715
I was thinking Kate 'cause you said

2025
01:30:19,715 --> 01:30:20,795
cake for the other folks.

2026
01:30:21,665 --> 01:30:24,155
Yeah, that'd be great. Like some vegan cupcake.

2027
01:30:25,035 --> 01:30:27,355
I can, I can make that. I'll make vegan cupcake.

2028
01:30:27,945 --> 01:30:31,475
I'll make like 12 of them and hopefully that'll be ship

2029
01:30:32,495 --> 01:30:34,595
and we'll just label 'em and that'll be okay.

2030
01:30:34,785 --> 01:30:35,995
Cool. And you're going virtual

2031
01:30:36,255 --> 01:30:39,355
and then I'll get four packs of seltzer.

2032
01:30:39,465 --> 01:30:41,515
What the eight, how many?

2033
01:30:41,625 --> 01:30:46,265
It's 80 people but maybe 60. Come 65.

2034
01:30:46,655 --> 01:30:48,545
Yeah. We're also just whispering in the corner.

2035
01:30:48,785 --> 01:30:50,785
I think we have more gluten-free people than vegan people.

2036
01:30:51,325 --> 01:30:53,825
So maybe not a vegan thing but gluten-free.

2037
01:30:54,085 --> 01:30:58,185
But the tomato chickpea sheep cheese will be able

2038
01:30:58,185 --> 01:30:59,465
to go for gluten-free.

2039
01:30:59,735 --> 01:31:01,905
That sounds real good. Yeah, it's really good.

2040
01:31:02,085 --> 01:31:04,985
And dessert wise, the cake.

2041
01:31:06,045 --> 01:31:07,985
That's not I, last time I got this cake,

2042
01:31:08,245 --> 01:31:09,385
it went to the last piece.

2043
01:31:10,185 --> 01:31:14,065
I ordered the same one. You're free.

2044
01:31:14,065 --> 01:31:16,985
People thinking of gluten-free dessert option. Yes please.

2045
01:31:17,215 --> 01:31:19,745
I'll, I'll do a gluten free thing. Cool.

2046
01:31:19,965 --> 01:31:23,855
And then we won't worry about vegan dessert.

2047
01:31:24,225 --> 01:31:26,775
Maybe we can just get one. One bag of vegan cookies.

2048
01:31:26,775 --> 01:31:29,135
There's the Mexican like cookies.

2049
01:31:29,925 --> 01:31:31,535
There's a brand new brought last year.

2050
01:31:31,635 --> 01:31:33,695
That's what remembering and gluten free.

2051
01:31:37,675 --> 01:31:42,455
Gluten free probably when you're getting drinks.

2052
01:31:44,855 --> 01:31:47,575
A bag, a vegan bag of cookies. Okay. Six five.

2053
01:31:49,705 --> 01:31:52,115
I'll get six cases of seltzer. Okay.

2054
01:31:52,695 --> 01:31:56,515
And then so like plates can just get big.

2055
01:31:56,515 --> 01:31:59,325
Sorry, get big. And then it's small for the cable.

2056
01:32:00,265 --> 01:32:03,205
So like we need both like a 60 to 70.

2057
01:32:03,505 --> 01:32:07,085
Do we have here, I'm sorry,

2058
01:32:07,085 --> 01:32:08,765
what do we have?

2059
01:32:09,675 --> 01:32:11,885
Cutlery That's plastic. Cutlery, plastic.

2060
01:32:15,505 --> 01:32:19,485
Use that use. I do use it. It's easy.

2061
01:32:19,705 --> 01:32:23,005
Get rid of it enough.

2062
01:32:24,195 --> 01:32:28,325
Plus the, I think if you're getting the big ones,

2063
01:32:28,325 --> 01:32:32,685
you could get a juice, some berry juice.

2064
01:32:33,055 --> 01:32:33,405
Apple

2065
01:32:37,775 --> 01:32:39,285
place to keep cold.

2066
01:32:39,315 --> 01:32:42,605
There's plates too. Or do getting, you're getting plates.

2067
01:32:42,655 --> 01:32:45,445
Sarah bring ice. Okay, I'll have Janna bring ice. Okay.

2068
01:32:45,575 --> 01:32:48,245
Janna, would you be open to bringing ice as well? Yes.

2069
01:32:48,505 --> 01:32:52,045
Ice and food. Ace and, yeah. Beautiful food by noon.

2070
01:32:52,165 --> 01:32:53,245
I should be here by noon.

2071
01:32:54,305 --> 01:32:56,075
Yeah, kids get out at noon

2072
01:32:57,015 --> 01:33:00,435
and well, I'll be here by 12 maybe 1132.

2073
01:33:00,435 --> 01:33:03,555
11 30, 15. I'll be more practic. 11.

2074
01:33:03,555 --> 01:33:07,525
She'll be here at 8:00 AM everyone Rita, can you hear me?

2075
01:33:08,905 --> 01:33:12,445
Yes. Would you be able

2076
01:33:12,445 --> 01:33:14,525
to make a vegan side dish

2077
01:33:16,895 --> 01:33:18,035
and then there vegan egg.

2078
01:33:18,105 --> 01:33:22,725
Yeah, vegan egg free. Great. Thank you.

2079
01:33:25,825 --> 01:33:30,125
Yeah, I'm gonna bring some plastic. It's today.

01:33:30,695 --> 01:33:32,565
Today. This is next Tuesday. So there's plenty

2081
01:33:32,565 --> 01:33:35,645
of plastic cutlery and napkins in Didi's stash.

2082
01:33:35,955 --> 01:33:39,405
Okay. Do you wanna do,

2083
01:33:40,385 --> 01:33:41,885
do you not have anything else?

2084
01:33:42,105 --> 01:33:44,525
No, I'm picking up the food and bringing, oh, okay.

2085
01:33:47,925 --> 01:33:50,105
Oh, I was, I thought if you didn't have anything you could

2086
01:33:50,105 --> 01:33:51,185
take the plate.

2087
01:33:52,095 --> 01:33:55,585
Doesn't really matter. We're getting as far as getting

2088
01:33:57,205 --> 01:34:00,705
school, being over and getting reimbursed for things, is

2089
01:34:00,705 --> 01:34:04,725
that still gonna take longer

2090
01:34:06,465 --> 01:34:08,405
or the still up and running?

2091
01:34:09,685 --> 01:34:11,245
I don't think check they be

2092
01:34:11,245 --> 01:34:12,885
A problem if you decided to do it internally

2093
01:34:12,905 --> 01:34:14,005
and have 'em go through the su,

2094
01:34:14,005 --> 01:34:15,245
it take a whole a lot longer.

2095
01:34:15,345 --> 01:34:16,345
So if we be okay

2096
01:34:18,765 --> 01:34:20,775
There's, thank you.

2097
01:34:21,515 --> 01:34:24,535
In the cafeteria. There's an ice chest there. Yep. Okay.

2098
01:34:27,075 --> 01:34:29,255
Inside the kitchen or inside the kitchen.

2099
01:34:33,165 --> 01:34:37,135
Alright. We won't get the back ways to break in. Understand.

2100
01:34:38,935 --> 01:34:41,735
I will need to all just on Monday day. Right.

2101
01:34:43,855 --> 01:34:47,175
I would love it. Just put it into do.

2102
01:34:48,705 --> 01:34:49,855
Feels like that. Little catching.

2103
01:34:54,795 --> 01:34:58,645
Bye bye. Have a great rest of the week.

2104
01:34:59,225 --> 01:35:00,645
Are you two going to the middle school dance?

2105
01:35:02,955 --> 01:35:05,795
I went to the last one and know it was a joy to be whole.

2106
01:35:06,305 --> 01:35:10,155
Good Going again. Great. How fun. They're adorable.

2107
01:35:10,505 --> 01:35:13,515
They would be adorable. That's so cute.

2108
01:35:13,695 --> 01:35:16,475
That's five minutes. Come in here tonight just for you. Ooh.

2109
01:35:16,565 --> 01:35:18,875
We'll see you with the rest of the week. Okay. Thank you.

2110
01:35:18,975 --> 01:35:21,035
Bye. I'll be there. At least I'm better. Okay.

2111
01:35:22,385 --> 01:35:25,705
Shaking hands. I hope I won't be here on Saturday.

2112
01:35:27,225 --> 01:35:30,705
Anything else for the, just quickly, what about,

2113
01:35:31,345 --> 01:35:32,865
I guess I can just leave the cupcakes,

2114
01:35:32,865 --> 01:35:34,425
but they probably will get a little sad

2115
01:35:34,545 --> 01:35:35,825
overnight in the refrigerator.

2116
01:35:36,255 --> 01:35:37,665
There's a staff in refrigerator.

2117
01:35:38,055 --> 01:35:42,305
They'll get sat in their refrigerator. That would be nice.

2118
01:35:42,305 --> 01:35:43,585
Cold. They'll get what in their refrigerator.

2119
01:35:43,625 --> 01:35:44,625
I think they'll be happy in the fridge.

2120
01:35:44,695 --> 01:35:46,665
Yeah. Sad. I think they'll be happy in

2121
01:35:46,665 --> 01:35:47,665
The fridge.

2122
01:35:47,665 --> 01:35:48,465
Okay. But they do not touch that.

2123
01:35:48,685 --> 01:35:49,905
That's the only issue. Ryan?

2124
01:35:49,985 --> 01:35:50,985
I think that their happiness

2125
01:35:50,985 --> 01:35:52,025
level will be fine in the fridge.

2126
01:35:52,175 --> 01:35:54,825
That fighting off the unwanted,

2127
01:35:55,205 --> 01:35:56,865
You label it The barbarian

2128
01:35:59,125 --> 01:36:00,125
Not for you.

2129
01:36:00,125 --> 01:36:03,105
Especially if I, yeah, I meet with them on Tuesday so,

2130
01:36:03,285 --> 01:36:04,345
and I know where those will be.

2131
01:36:04,365 --> 01:36:05,585
So it'd be best if you put a sign

2132
01:36:05,585 --> 01:36:06,745
there to remind me not to eat it.

2133
01:36:08,805 --> 01:36:11,225
Not even a morse anything.

2134
01:36:11,225 --> 01:36:14,945
We can have aa do have a job for him now.

2135
01:36:15,565 --> 01:36:19,465
He can help with the schlepping. Schlepping. Yeah.

2136
01:36:19,485 --> 01:36:22,985
We have to set up official sch.

2137
01:36:23,655 --> 01:36:26,945
What time Aaron, should we come to set up by 1130?

2138
01:36:27,395 --> 01:36:29,705
Let's do that. Yeahm gonna be here at 1115

2139
01:36:29,705 --> 01:36:30,745
because I have to.

2140
01:36:32,415 --> 01:36:34,945
Will Andrew pick up? Let's say goodnight.

2141
01:36:35,135 --> 01:36:38,865
Okay, I have a motion to end our meeting. I second Jana.

2142
01:36:38,865 --> 01:36:40,065
Second. Everyone in favor? Aye.
