00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:20.640
6 o'clock. I'm going to call the meeting to order. Uh Luke is gone tonight, but everyone else is here, so we're going to go with five. Uh please stand for the pledge of allegiance. >> I pledge allegiance to the flag of the

2
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:42.079
United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> [cough] >> Great. Uh Jeeoff, we have an addition to the agenda. >> Yes, we do have an addition to the

3
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:58.079
agenda. Uh it is a resignation from Kaen Jensen that will be added to the personnel listing in the um consent agenda area. >> All right. And there's no other addition. So with that addition, I would

4
00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:16.080
look for approval of the agenda. >> Make approval. >> I move approval. Motion [laughter] open on the motion. I'll second on the second discussion. [laughter] >> All in favor say I. I.

5
00:01:16.080 --> 00:01:33.520
>> Oppos. Motion carries. >> Uh no [snorts] scheduled presenters tonight. Uh moves on to public input. Uh, anyone like to speak for public input? I will close public input. We'll move on

6
00:01:33.520 --> 00:01:52.320
to schoolboard committee reports. Anyone have any committees if they attended and would like to share. >> I was at the GCED meeting, but it looks like some of that's going to be covered later in the agenda. So, they're having a workshop on the 8th of September. So,

7
00:01:52.320 --> 00:02:12.319
I didn't know if you knew that. We don't meet for ret until August 20th. So share one thing. >> I had an ed foundation meeting. Um we'll go over new members that we're adding later on in the agenda, but I just wanted to put out a save the date.

8
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:29.760
September 19th is the poker social. Um, and then they're also going to be doing an ice cream social during Bomber Days for anyone that would like to take a look at the playground, the new playground that's going on. That's a good idea. >> So, couple save the dates there. Fun things happening.

9
00:02:29.760 --> 00:02:45.120
>> Cool. >> I love that poker social. >> It's a It's a good time. I agree. >> Perfect date night time. Get a babysitter. >> Yep. >> You going to come? >> Great hands. >> Great hands for >> Yeah. Uh

10
00:02:45.120 --> 00:03:00.127
>> tell us who won. >> Yes. Um I may have another engagement that night. >> Okay. >> Um but I will let you know. [laughter] >> The grading is the best part. >> The grading part that is fun. >> It's a lot of certainly controversy.

11
00:03:00.127 --> 00:03:16.400
[laughter] >> Anything that is wrong, I usually blame Clinton. >> It's fine. >> Uh I guess we didn't actually have like a facility committee. um meeting, but

12
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:32.080
maybe now is a good time to talk about how many different things we got going on. I don't know if Reed, you want to help me with some of that or Josh on what I know we got all sorts of different things taking place around here. Um kind of run through the list somewhat.

13
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:49.120
>> Sure. Um and we'll let Josh step in too because he's been in contact with the vendors. Uh stadium is looking good with the turf and the irrigation. Mhm. >> Uh I think you said they're going to mow it here >> this week. Yeah. >> This for the first mowing.

14
00:03:49.120 --> 00:04:06.319
>> So that's looking good. Uh stadium scoreboard is up. We'll get power connected here uh shortly and sponsorship uh panels installed here. Uh we don't have a date set yet, but uh the goal is to be uh prior to the 27th of

15
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:23.120
August, which is our first uh uh soccer match. Uh new sound system is going up out there at the stadium as well. Uh goalpost sleeves are in goalposts, do goalposts and do soccer goals. Uh so

16
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:39.759
it'll be the goose neck. So the soccer goal will will go underneath the goalpost and have wheels so they can just slide off it. We can put it back in the behind the end zone areas for uh whether it's uh junior high football play. Uh, as of right now, we only have

17
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:57.199
one conflict, uh, junior high football game at a soccer match. I want to say that's the Tuesday after Labor Day. So, junior high will football will play out at the practice field out there behind field three. Uh, we need to figure out whether we could utilize that soccer

18
00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:12.880
scoreboard for that or if we're going to bring out the big kind of timer, but we'll get that squared away. Uh the only other conflict I think could potentially be postseason soccer on the back end. So um so with that, uh tennis court, uh I

19
00:05:12.880 --> 00:05:28.720
walked out there the other day. The the patch, everything looks, I'm just going to say infinitely better than what it was last summer. Um they have battled some serious heat out there taking the new posts and

20
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:44.720
everything else that they have done. Um they were power washing it Friday and day looks good. >> Yeah, we've been out there quite a bit. I mean it's infinitely better. It's the snow line. Um much more confident this. It's still an

21
00:05:44.720 --> 00:06:01.360
asphalt court in Minnesota in terms of what we're going to get on this. But um I think they gave them spoons to dig the holes. They spent way [laughter] long time to get the holes out. Um it's gone a little bit quicker now. They've got to this part of it. Um, couple other things

22
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:19.440
that kind of going on. The Pine Ben paving has been here and put the first course of pavement on the parking spots by Frank Hawksfield. Uh, sometime this week they'll be back to put the second course and then stripe uh spots out there. Be much better for uh especially

23
00:06:19.440 --> 00:06:36.400
the older folks going out to watch this feel closer to watch the athletic events that happen back there. Um, irrigation is in at the elementary field and that's been on and and running. Jerks will come back and recede uh with the irrigation lines. Um, and T will be in to finish

24
00:06:36.400 --> 00:06:51.919
some work on that or whether it be ariating and some fertilizer to hopefully get that as soft as it can be. It's probably going to be a season or two before it gets truly good back there. But well, as we know that having water back there will help those surfaces immensely. Uh, playground guys,

25
00:06:51.919 --> 00:07:07.199
we met with them today. uh they have some concern obviously with the potential for rock digging in the holes. So um we're going to meet again on Thursday and see where they're at and where they feel um they're going to be hopefully able to finish before school

26
00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:23.919
starts for ice cream when kids be able to play on the playground. Um have have a much better idea on Thursday when we follow up and talk with them. Uh bleachers in the fieldhouse, the old bleachers been moved over to the north side. Uh along with that they need power

27
00:07:23.919 --> 00:07:40.800
to run and Canadorf was in and hooked up power to that. Uh they got to finish up a few more things in there with electric. The new bleach will be higher. They got to move receptively up higher. But so things are going on and progressing. Um >> courts are getting refinished and

28
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:56.080
>> are they? Yeah. [cough and clears throat] >> Yeah. The the wood floors, the high school gym and the CCC. >> Um I believe we're keeping everybody off for the high school floor until starts. >> Yep. um CCC. [clears throat] My dad uh sent me a

29
00:07:56.080 --> 00:08:13.120
picture cuz that's what he does. Um it was just screened, but it looked like it got sanded. That's how neglected that forward bend. So, it'll be real sharp when the people were able to play on that one and um it needed a little bit of love. So, that was good call. And

30
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:32.000
with having uh one less wood floor in the district with the elementary floor being that port floor um in terms of what the district is doing on wood floors, it kind of is the same as we have been doing in the past. So works out. >> Good things are set for a duplicate

31
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:49.440
field [clears throat] to get installed. >> Oh, >> all right. Anything else anyone has to share? If not, we'll move on to the finance report. Uh Josh. >> Yeah. Um we go through finance. You'll

32
00:08:49.440 --> 00:09:05.120
probably mention a few more of these facility things, but just kind of I think it's good when you see all the projects happening in the summer. Um especially if you're just passing a referendum kind of where some of those dollars are coming from. Um one little new look maybe to the cash flow

33
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:20.000
worksheet here is up in that right corner. I've listed investments and that's where we're keeping our Aaylor's funds when we received that first half of property taxes. Um now I get our normal levy and they had inside that levy. But uh now the new referendum

34
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:36.720
dollars come in that as well. And as we've talked through finance um we know we can get better rate just because of the mechanism that they have for financing um with Aaylor. So, we keep what we need into our local bank so we can keep uh day-to-day operations going

35
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:51.760
and then try to put as much as we can investment. So, that's where that's at. Uh so, throughout each month, you'll see a a line that says Aaylor's investments, draw or transfer, and that just moves money back and forth if I need to for cash flow purposes to make sure we're making payroll and paying bills. Um, so

36
00:09:51.760 --> 00:10:08.560
really the items that stick out here are a lot of items we just talked about for facilities, uh, the stadium excavation and sad, uh, elementary, uh, tennis courts, elementary playground, the stadium scoreboard, uh, Frank Hawk's parking lot, and fieldhouse bleachers. Um, all those sources are,

37
00:10:08.560 --> 00:10:23.839
uh, nonoperating funds, uh, with the exception of a couple smaller things like the electric hookup for the bleachers that's coming out of facilities. But, uh, it's a combination of a long-term facility maintenance dollars. Those dollars are emer facilities type deferred maintenance

38
00:10:23.839 --> 00:10:39.760
items that, uh, can only be used on those sources. Uh, we have the rest of the tennis court be from that bond that we did for the roof/tennis court. It seems so long ago because we went through a process last year where uh, we weren't satisfied with the work that was

39
00:10:39.760 --> 00:10:56.079
done on the tennis courts and we were able to get essentially a doover on that. So, we're still using those dollars and that pays for the tennis court, uh, stadium scoreboard. Those are scoreboard ads that are paying for that, not general operating dollars for the district. Um, so I think it's important, we're getting a lot of things done

40
00:10:56.079 --> 00:11:11.600
around, uh, but there really aren't dollars that are used to operate the district on a day-to-day basis. Um, got cash flow here through the middle of October. Uh, as we show through, uh, not having to do any anticipation, which is good. we haven't had that several years, but also I think the better part of the

41
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:31.839
district [snorts] is able to have funds in that Aaylor's account and earn some better interest for the district and hopefully offset a few more items uh depending on what we're able to get on return for those dollars. So, you have any questions? I'll certainly answer. >> Any questions for Josh?

42
00:11:31.839 --> 00:11:47.920
>> No, but I I appreciate you explaining where some of it is coming from funding wise. I think it's important for everybody to know and understand. >> You bet. >> I'll look for a motion to approve the finance report. >> I'll make a motion motion.

43
00:11:47.920 --> 00:12:03.519
>> Second, >> Randy. Rodie. >> That was a fight right there. [laughter] >> Randy on the second. Any other discussion? All in favor say I. I. Oppose. Motion carries.

44
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:18.959
Consent agenda. Items under the consent agenda are considered routine and will be enacted under one motion and the amendment a board member wants to discuss any item. It will be removed from the consent agenda for separate action. Uh there is the one addition to the

45
00:12:18.959 --> 00:12:35.760
personnel items and that is for the resignation of Kaen Jensen. So that will be added on to the personnel items. Uh first uh Jeff would you like to read the acceptance of gifts please? >> Yes. So this month we have $850 from the

46
00:12:35.760 --> 00:12:51.600
Canon Falls Education Foundation for 9 through 11 just yearbook camp and $4,95 from the Ed Foundation for for the seventh grade courage retreat. >> All right. Thank you.

47
00:12:51.600 --> 00:13:13.120
>> Thank you. >> All right. I also wanted to recognize our new hires. Um, I was going to have someone else do it, but not going to put anyone else on the spot, so I'll put myself on the spot. Um, Erica Lewis, Minnesota Middle School

48
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:29.120
High School office support. Gabrielle Pranky, school readiness professional. Marissa Barrens, elementary special education teacher, Ann Herky in the nutrition services, and Natalie Horn, a para profofessional. So, we welcome all

49
00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:47.040
of you. So with that add addition to the personnel item, I would look for a motion to approve the consent agenda. >> I'll make a motion. I'll second >> Jody on the motion. Join on the second. Any other

50
00:13:47.040 --> 00:14:12.959
discussion? All in favor say I. >> I oppose. Motion carries. All right. Uh, let me get caught up here for a second. We'll move on to administrative uh, board reports. Uh, we do not have a

51
00:14:12.959 --> 00:14:29.680
student rep here tonight. Uh, Mr. Strauss, anything you'd like to add? >> Um, nothing in particular. Just we got couple between us and the GCD position open in the building. We have a couple things that we're working on filling. [snorts] Um, but feel confident about getting

52
00:14:29.680 --> 00:14:46.959
them filled. Um, and then just as always, shout out to the custodial staff. Um, they're phenomenal what they do. Um, big shout out to Josh Stevens specifically. He's great helping out both buildings, but the the stuff that he does, the time that he takes to make

53
00:14:46.959 --> 00:15:02.480
sure things are set up right. And the rest of the staff down there at the elementary, too. They do a great job. They pack a lot into a normal summer. and this summer was too much short or two weeks shorter for them. >> So, they're they're working hard. >> Awesome. >> Thank you, Mr. Hodes.

54
00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:17.199
>> Yeah, just a couple things. I want to echo what Steven said with our custodial staff. Just the amount of progress they've made in the last week has been remarkable and thanks to Josh Stevens for that um charge. Um just an FYI, um

55
00:15:17.199 --> 00:15:34.000
my office will be moving down to community ed office for about a week. Uh starting on Wednesday, we got uh some carpet and things going in my office. So, we'll be displaced for a little bit. So, we'll put signs up to make sure that people are aware of that and I'll send

56
00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:51.680
something out to parents tomorrow, the end of the day, and let them know, too. So, >> all right. Thank you. Uh Reed, >> uh an update that wasn't in my report, uh an email went out to the fieldhouse fob walkers group on Saturday. Uh, so

57
00:15:51.680 --> 00:16:06.959
renewal, if they're looking to redo their FOB, they need to come to the elementary to Dorsy where Tammy and I are at um between 7:30 a.m. and 400 p.m. uh by August 7th. Uh if you are going to

58
00:16:06.959 --> 00:16:24.079
be a new FOB user, you're going to go to either the elementary office or the high school office uh and get the form and get that filled out in that regard. So renewals come to Dorsy. So, that's the big thing. Um, in a lot of the readers

59
00:16:24.079 --> 00:16:40.320
that got changed, uh, the there's an 11A, there's an 11B, and there's an 11 door not to, but the door that directly goes into the fieldhouse at door 11 that got changed to or it should. So, that's

60
00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:56.959
just automatically programmed now till August 7th until 9:00 p.m. So, we've got that squared away. the fobs will work for the outside vestibule, the inside vestibule, and that the the programming to get into the fieldhouse through door 11 side. That's all squared away and

61
00:16:56.959 --> 00:17:14.640
programmed. Um activity registration through bound, that deadline is August 12th at 300 p.m. so that Tammy has time to clear them. We've gotten about 87 registrations thus far and the feedback has been very positive that it's much more user friendly than the arbiter

62
00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:31.440
program that we were using last year. So that part is uh really good. So I just wanted to make those additions. >> And after August 7th for the FOB, where do they go? Will they come up here then to get renewed for? >> No, they could still come down, but it'll just be a point where that's where we're going to get the new reader

63
00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:45.520
totally switched over so that everything's squirted. So the old fogs won't work anymore, >> correct? >> Yeah. >> Do they want Do you want them turned in? >> No. >> No, >> they won't. They'll be useless. So they could throw the old Okay.

64
00:17:45.520 --> 00:18:04.400
>> They can throw the old ones away. >> All right. Uh Jeff report. >> So a couple things on here. Um I also want to echo what the principles talked about with their custodial crew doing a fantastic job. Um,

65
00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:21.200
as some of you may have heard, uh, there is an election coming up this fall in regards to the permanent school, um, trust fund. And it uh, is an election to allow that trust to expand and school districts to

66
00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:38.000
get more money for their operating dollars. And I believe the amount that Canon Poles uh would receive for the school district was roughly $40,000 additional. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> And so I think there's enough information out on the MA website that

67
00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:53.679
we're part of. So if you go to that website or the school board association website that you guys can inform yourselves on. But I think the most important part is that school board members have to treat it like any other election. So you can, you know, just give the

68
00:18:53.679 --> 00:19:09.520
facts and you can't say >> don't sway them to, >> right? Yep. So, I think that's probably the biggest piece of information and to remind people that when they are voting that they have to mark in the ballot because if they vote and don't mark in

69
00:19:09.520 --> 00:19:24.400
the ballot, that's a no vote. >> Oh, >> and so that's an important piece of information. >> That's counted as a no vote. >> Yes. If you leave it blank >> because of because of the way the constitutional change to the Yeah. And

70
00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:44.480
so you have to mark yes or no in there. And so those are the important pieces that I think is that you need to convey to people about when they're voting that they're informed enough uh when they are voting about um what needs to happen. So

71
00:19:44.480 --> 00:20:01.600
but yeah, you basically have to treat it like an operating levy or bond. So, and then the second piece uh we talked uh last month about procedures for contracts and work agreements. Um moving this this round uh of contracts

72
00:20:01.600 --> 00:20:17.360
is going to be the the teacher negotiations and the process that we've used for them in the past is that our negotiating committee has met prior to uh starting negotiations with the teachers and then um if I remember correctly Clinton had given updates uh

73
00:20:17.360 --> 00:20:32.080
throughout that process when necessary >> right and then um usually the the negotiating committee members spoke during um when it's time to come to approve the contract. And so I would

74
00:20:32.080 --> 00:20:49.360
suggest that for the uh I don't want to call it off here, but it truly is it's the it's the support staff administrative contracts pieces. I think we follow a similar process uh either by just starting with the negotiating committee to give us

75
00:20:49.360 --> 00:21:06.159
parameters on what that looks like or settlement and we could take advice from you know the finance committee also. Maybe it's good to get the finance committee involved with uh the teacher negotiations as well so that we have a range. Obviously if you say well we're

76
00:21:06.159 --> 00:21:22.240
only going to give 2% and that's it. that's a public meeting and you probably don't want to get into that negotiation because you gonna give up your hand, right? >> And so if you give parameters to myself, Lori, and Josh going into the support

77
00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:40.159
staff contracts, I think that um that will at least give us guide rails, >> if you will, and we can explain some of the parameters. If there's some outlying contracts involved like there was this year, I think we can explain that. And then as we're going through contract

78
00:21:40.159 --> 00:21:59.679
negotiations because I don't think you guys want to be involved with all 15 or 16 contracts in the meetings. No, >> we can certainly do that if you want. >> Okay. >> Else my contract is going to get bumped way up. >> Sure. [laughter] >> And so uh we can certainly give uh

79
00:21:59.679 --> 00:22:15.679
updates as we're progressing through those contracts to the board if you wish um and let you know where we are at with that. And then we can have a a wrap-up session with either the negotiation committee or um the finance committee or whatever we deem appropriate probably

80
00:22:15.679 --> 00:22:32.240
the negotiation committee and then give them the parameters of the contracts and that can be presented to the board as a whole if that seems plausible to start that this year. Um probably have obviously a finance

81
00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:48.960
committee meeting usually in the fall and um after the audit sometime and then we can have that as ne as a agenda item and then meet with negotiation committee probably in January February as we start getting ready for um negotiations for

82
00:22:48.960 --> 00:23:04.559
teachers. >> So [clears throat] that sounds good. >> Yeah. Thank you. Be helpful. Yeah, >> we could have a process. >> I think that would be a good process for at least the support staff and have it >> sort of mirror the what we do with the

83
00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:22.720
teachers as well. >> Y >> that's good. >> All right. Other than that, that's all I have unless you guys have questions. >> All right. Thank you. Uh we'll move on to new business. Consideration to add a

84
00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:38.559
school board meeting date to canvas the November 3rd, 2026 election results. Canvasing must be done between November 6th and the 20th of the 26. >> With us going to one meeting a month, um

85
00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:54.799
we noticed that the November election cycle, we need to have a board meeting during that time frame to uh approve the election results. And I'm suggesting uh November 9th be that date if that works for a core here of the board to

86
00:23:54.799 --> 00:24:10.559
canvas the election >> Monday. >> Yeah. >> Just a Monday. >> Just a Monday. >> Just a Monday. >> Just a Monday, but not like a 6 a.m. or something. 6 p.m. >> No, it can be 6 p.m. >> 5:30. >> 5 a.m. [laughter] >> That works for me. I don't

87
00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:25.679

90
00:24:59.919 --> 00:25:16.080

91
00:25:16.080 --> 00:25:33.039

93
00:25:50.000 --> 00:26:07.919
and hiring for a 1.0 FTE third grade teacher for the 2627 school year. Earlier in the year, there was some concern about uh the size of um this grade level and some other variables um that goes along with this grade level.

94
00:26:07.919 --> 00:26:24.080
Uh I mentioned to the board and to parents that were emailing that we would um look at this again in July as we get closer to because kids move in and out of the grade levels and stuff. Uh and looking at uh this grade level and consulting with uh Mr. Strauss. Um I am

95
00:26:24.080 --> 00:26:39.919
going to recommend that we add a third grade section um and to post to hire uh for a 1.0 third grade section if the board agrees with that. This would be a one-year um position as we feel that that kind of gets them over the hump moving from one

96
00:26:39.919 --> 00:26:56.240
end of the building where they're big fish in a small pond >> to small fish in a big pond. And um we got one more year of maturity obviously as well for that. And obviously if the if the numbers continue to rise in that grade, we'd consider keeping that

97
00:26:56.240 --> 00:27:14.880
section if they're above um the recommended section numbers. Uh right now they're currently within the guidelines, but obviously um guidelines are just guidelines. So >> and finance-wise, we're we talked about we're good.

98
00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:30.320
>> Yeah, it sent out information based on where we're projecting to fall for fiscal 26. we should be pushing the fund balance slightly forward. Uh where the preliminary budget for 27 is at um even with the all the contract setments and everything that we have in at the time

99
00:27:30.320 --> 00:27:49.039
uh we have to put that forward a little bit. So even by hiring this additional teacher you just won't move as far forward but it still be positive fund balance for fiscal 27. Well, >> we have it available and uh this is what

100
00:27:49.039 --> 00:28:05.039
we're going to do to >> keep the class sizes to the best we can and uh give the kids the best chance of succeeding. So, >> there's not any other discussion, I'd look for a motion to approve adding a third grade section.

101
00:28:05.039 --> 00:28:22.559
>> I'll make motion. >> Join on the motion. >> I'll second. >> Jody in the second. Any other discussion? All in favor say I. >> Oppose. Motion carries. Consideration [clears throat] to approve

102
00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:37.760
2627 restrictive procedures plans uh from GCED. >> So this is an annual item that GCED requires all of their schools to approve. Uh the plan is what it exactly states. It's restrictive procedures in

103
00:28:37.760 --> 00:28:54.960
case students need to be restrained. Um Sherry does a good job with her staff in putting this plan together so that it meets all uh state statutes and everything else and you recommend approval on this >> and that's organized with our schools input as well or just all the collective

104
00:28:54.960 --> 00:29:10.640
schools from that call from GC. Yeah, it's mainly I don't know if you guys have any input into the restrictive procedures, but um it's mainly Sherry's staff that puts this together for for the schools because they know the >> Yeah, the statute and stuff. That's kind of their wheelhouse.

105
00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:27.720
>> You don't see too many restraints at all. >> Yeah, I think we had four total last year. >> Yeah. >> So, it's mainly an elementary thing and a GCED building thing. Okay. Thanks.

106
00:29:29.679 --> 00:29:46.720

that they can read up for one additional year for your year- term if they so choose and that comes obviously as recommended approval from the Ed Foundation as well. >> I'd look for a motion to approve.

110

>> I'll make a motion. >> J on the motion. >> I'll second. Jod on the second. Any other discussion? >> Welcome those guys and thanks for joining and participating. Appreciate the volunteers. >> All in favor say I.

123
00:34:18.079 --> 00:34:35.639
we updated the uniform rotation. Uh just put what we did for this year, put it on the back end. updated student activity account access and added a severe weather emergency action plan into the coach's handbook. So those are the only four changes.

124
00:34:37.839 --> 00:34:52.480
>> Just curious, did we not have like a severe weather? This program has their own emergency action plan, but this is just something that we could put that if we're in the fieldhouse severe thunderstorm warning or tornado, here's what we're going to do with what the

125
00:34:52.480 --> 00:35:12.480
release process is going to look like. So, all right. Look for a motion to approve the 2627 athletic coaches handbook. >> I'll make a motion. >> Second motion. So then on the second any

128
00:35:46.480 --> 00:36:02.000
just we they used to be done there. They were all approved right away ahead of time and then we decided that really doesn't matter. [laughter] >> It's not realistic to be honest. >> Yeah. Exactly. So all right. So if you

129
00:36:02.000 --> 00:36:18.079
have an idea, you're not too late here. [laughter] We are still accepting. >> Yeah, we're still accepting. All right. Look for a motion to approve the 2627 fundraisers. >> I'll make a motion. >> All right. Randy in the motion.

132
00:36:49.920 --> 00:37:06.800
>> Just the basic updated stuff was nothing big, just major personnel, pictures, things like that. All pictures now are from the past year, so that's cool. Maggie helped me out a lot with [snorts] getting pictures from the yearbook and getting them up to date in there. So, uh, went through some stuff with Carly Grums, our district nurse, to make sure

133
00:37:06.800 --> 00:37:22.480
that some information on her health services and health needs was totally up to date, um, and consistent with what she wants in there. Um, some stuff with the website, just making sure all the website links were accurate and going to the right place. And with the change over with the website last year, not all

134
00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:39.240
of them carried over the right way, so just updated those. Um and then the biggest one in addition to the health needs that the two things I guess for the health needs and then related to attendance pages seven and eight just being more concrete and clear with expectations about attendance for for families.

135
00:37:42.079 --> 00:37:58.560
>> Look for a motion to approve the 2627 elementary student handbook. >> I'll make motion. >> Children have a motion. >> Second on the second. >> Any other discussion? All in favor say I. >> I. >> Opposed.

150
00:42:17.119 --> 00:42:33.359
long-term facility maintenance uh funds. Uh it's divied out based on you know like size. Uh so you'll see on the last page for the district uh what our share of the good county district's LTFM is. Um it is a plan needs to be approved at

151
00:42:33.359 --> 00:42:48.560
the state. Uh so there would be now I have a resolution that you guys will be improving now but uh there's a revenue uh worksheet as well as an expenditure worksheet uh basically a 10-year plan. Uh LTFM kind of replaces and supplements the old health and safety so it's not

152
00:42:48.560 --> 00:43:04.960
funding yeartoear it's uh we're actually approving the plan for fiscal 28 um so in advance but needs to be part of what goes into the levy. Uh we've got to get the information submitted to the state by July 31st. So after you approve uh good districts and then ours that may be

153
00:43:04.960 --> 00:43:21.800

The school board of school district 252 has approved the long-term facility maintenance 10-year plan for the Canoples Area School District 252 facilities for 2026 to 2036. The various

00:45:49.721 --> 00:46:06.800
[clears throat] All right. Item 16, consideration to revise the girls basketball cooperative with Randolph schools by dissolving FIT Academy from the co-op. Canon Falls and Randolph schools will remain as the girls basketball co-op.

163
00:46:06.800 --> 00:46:22.480
>> Randolph is dropping fit academy from several of their cooperative programs. Uh so anytime that there's an addition or a dissolution each board from every member has to approve this. So doesn't change anything in regards to our cooperative program

164
00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:38.880
for girls basketball with us Randolph. It just won't include fit academy. And so if we get that approved and get that signed I could get that sent to the high school. >> And remind us on what the fit academy is. It's a It's a small I don't know what

165
00:46:38.880 --> 00:46:54.480
exactly, but it's a small school out of I think Apple. Okay. >> Yeah. >> And that leaves um organizational numbers the same and it doesn't >> Yeah. It doesn't >> waver any of our classifications. >> I I don't know why they're dropped, but I'm guessing they're probably not the

166
00:46:54.480 --> 00:47:12.319
participants >> for that. I guess. >> All right. I would look for a motion to approve dropping uh academy from the co-op between Canon Falls and Randall for girls basketball.

167
00:47:12.319 --> 00:47:29.119
>> I'll make the motion for that. >> Randy and the motion. >> A second. >> Meet on the second. Any other discussion? All in favor say I. >> I opposed. >> Motion carries. Item 17, consideration to form a cooperative sports sponsorship

168
00:47:29.119 --> 00:47:46.480
for girls tennis with Randolph schools. >> As we know, Randolph had reached out uh last spring uh with some interest in several programs, girls tennis, dance, and uh we dissolved the girls golf and

169
00:47:46.480 --> 00:48:04.240
whether we wanted to make a change. So at our June 16th, I believe uh extracurricular committee we or June 17th, we talked about those. We focus specifically on girls tennis because of the fall season. Um anytime there's a

170
00:48:04.240 --> 00:48:19.839
cooperative program, the host school is the full enrollment and your cooperative schools is 50% of their enrollment. So our number, our new number for girls tennis would become 419. Uh, coach Dors said uh

171
00:48:19.839 --> 00:48:35.839
had a prior commitment so he could not be here tonight. Uh, this keeps us well within uh that class A because both Redwing their number is 529. So they're over 100 higher than us. They're still in class A section one. And Wasika is a

172
00:48:35.839 --> 00:48:50.880
school that's also bigger than us and they're in section one. So we feel confident that it's not going to bump us up. That was the only concern about getting us raised another class level. Um we did have 24 participants last year

173
00:48:50.880 --> 00:49:08.559
with five graduating. So uh coaches are uh supportive of adding Randolph to a club and it did pass extracurricular committee uh unanimously. So I can take any other questions right now,

174
00:49:08.559 --> 00:49:24.920
>> but we would be the whole school and it would be here. >> So is there more students interested now on the co-op versus a few years ago when it was brought up? >> I believe so. Yes. >> Okay.

175
00:49:25.280 --> 00:49:42.119
We don't have a hard fast number for for Randolph that is potentially interested, but it's more about four or five that it was I think one before. >> Okay.

176
00:49:42.800 --> 00:49:58.720
>> This would be for a minimum of two years whenever we started cooperative. It's two year agree. >> I'm guessing this will help strengthen our >> our team as well. Correct. because the numbers that we have been making sure you have a full U varsity and JB right

177
00:49:58.720 --> 00:50:15.280
so Randolph continues to be a great partner with us and uh it's all about providing opportunities for student athletes. So I would look for a motion to approve the cooperative with Randolph for girls

178
00:50:15.280 --> 00:50:29.680
tennis. >> I'll make motion. >> Join on the motion. I'll second >> Randy on the second. Any other discussion? All in favor say I. I. >> Oppos.

00:50:48.640 --> 00:51:06.319
updates. This is I'm just butchering the heck up. I [laughter] I don't It's all put together. >> This is an annual item. Uh we had a policy committee meeting. Um these are just the annual updates from MSBA what they recommend for policy

181
00:51:06.319 --> 00:51:22.240
updates. Um, unless you guys have questions, there's obviously a lot of policies and a lot of them. There aren't too many huge updates other than a lot of clerical, you know, clerical fixes and stuff like that.

182
00:51:22.240 --> 00:51:36.960
There's some new policies um that they are looking at uh implementing from the um legislative session. But all all in all, you can see down the

183
00:51:36.960 --> 00:51:53.599
list here, there isn't a whole lot of new items that are in it. So, MSBA does a good job of giving you giving you the the updates to those as well.

184
00:51:53.599 --> 00:52:18.240
So, as you can see, there's an extensive list. And I'd have to imagine that all of you went through them one by one and uh thoroughly examinable. Right. >> Correct.

>> Thanks. [snorts] >> And kudos to Lori if I can do an early round the horn for >> her work on these policies because it is an extensive amount of work. That was more than an afternoon.

186
00:52:34.559 --> 00:52:56.720
>> A little bit. >> Any questions on that? And I'm not going to read the whole thing, but uh we [laughter] I'd look for a motion to approve that. >> I'll make a motion. >> Jody on the motion.

>> I'll second. >> Jen on the second. Any other discussion? All in favor say I. I >> oppose. Motion carries. So now we're going to come up to the the

188
00:53:12.960 --> 00:53:32.040
part of the program that we uh go to. We're going to go into a close session for the superintendent's end of the year evaluation. You are more than welcome to stick around, but once we come back out of it, we are just going to go to adjournment.
