5
00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:46.079
>> so um some of this happened in real time, so I'm just read. Sorry. Um, Tracy Tolson sent out a huge shout out to our DJF food service team. I'd like to extend a sincere thank you to our incredible DJ DGF food service staff for providing delicious,

6
00:01:46.079 --> 00:02:03.119
nutritious lunches to our local kids. Their efforts keep our students fueled, happy, and ready for a fun-filled day of learning activities. We are grateful for all you do. Your hard work does not go unnoticed. So, kudos to our summer feeding uh kitchen staff. Um, Britney

7
00:02:03.119 --> 00:02:18.720
John also sent out. I want to give a shout out to two people for their hard work this summer. First, Katie Hullman. She has been working hard all summer getting ready for the new school year. She has shared some things that she has been working on with me and I'm so impressed. She has also had a busy summer hiring teachers. Middle school

8
00:02:18.720 --> 00:02:35.280
staff would like to have her miss her elementary but said Jessie. Um second Tracy she has over 150 kids in Rebel. Easy for me to say. Rebel kids care this summer and the events and activities she has put on for the kids

9
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:50.959
have been amazing. Like today, kids got to participate in the fall partying. She has organized uh three family picnics. The first two have been a hit. I was a part of both actually enjoying the food. So, it was a uh and this week she is showing her appreciation to her kids

10
00:02:50.959 --> 00:03:08.440
staff by hosting full treats. On top of that, she has taught over 35 classes for community and thanks Tracy for those students and staff and for providing funding for doing I think she probably shared that as a model because I know her kid is

11
00:03:09.920 --> 00:03:34.480
appreciate all she does. Yeah, it's one of those things during the school year and then a lot of folks have time off. >> Any other recognition? All right, we'll go on to number six.

12
00:03:34.480 --> 00:04:08.879
Reports business reports. [snorts] >> All right. Um, first I'll go over the summary page just talking about uh how the June was. Um, well actually first we'll go over

13
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:25.278
like the board bills for this month. It's probably higher than any time during the year. Um, insurance paid out this month. So that's a couple hundred thousand everything

14
00:04:25.278 --> 00:04:45.520
[clears throat] in July. Um so that's a big portion of it. And then we have some payments for some curriculum. Is there any questions on anything? >> And you guys should have seen all that

15
00:04:45.520 --> 00:05:00.000
in the bills as well. you would have the insurance payment just short a couple hundred for the year paid up front. So it's better discount. Yeah. Then what was the other one you just said? It's individual. Okay. We

16
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:20.479
added some service that was 40,000. >> Um then as far as payroll for June, it was a little higher than May, but there's a couple changes. So fund one, the general fund that's preschool and

17
00:05:20.479 --> 00:05:37.120
but fund four goes up quite a bit in the summer because that's kids care. So we have a lot of students getting paid and then fund two goes down because we don't have staff but we do have summer feeding

18
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:52.400
then food service. Um, as far as the revenue and bills for June, if you go back, there wasn't a whole lot. Um, in terms of the June board bills, the revenue uh was healthy

19
00:05:52.400 --> 00:06:10.000
and it helps to, you know, pay for the summer cost already because they know that there are some of the technology and insurance bills during the summer. Then also we have at the end of July here we have 600,000 or so in

20
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:25.039
so and then just the cash balance there at the end of June that's another thing that's healthy but then it has the board bills for July such um and then

21
00:06:25.039 --> 00:06:41.600
just another thing on the enrollment uh that's just to show you as far as how we're trending this is the the actual numbers are as of like last day of school. So when we budgeted those numbers of 1505, you can see how that compared.

22
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:59.360
So maybe a little down 712, but everything else was when it comes to just so you guys um there are certain people that leave for a portion of the school year. We lose some funding for that. So the

23
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:17.360
number is 1526 but it's not like we have 1526 the whole time and we have you know what I mean? So there's a little just so you understand when people come in there's a little red. >> Yeah. >> But for budgets that's part of the other reason why we do this fiscally as responsible or conservatively as we do

24
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:34.960
is because 1526 but what did it average? >> Yeah. Um any questions on that sheet? >> No. >> Let's go over the uh budget actual then.

25
00:07:34.960 --> 00:07:50.639
Um so this is through June 30th. Um as far as expenses, it's in a pretty solid spot. There's obviously some things that are going to come through with invoices that need to

26
00:07:50.639 --> 00:08:08.319
be backdated to that fiscal year. Um, and as I prepare for the audit, so the audit's in September, so I am preparing for it now. There will be things that come up that there's slight adjustments here and there. Overall, it's fairly accurate.

27
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:27.919
Um, I'd like to say it could fluctuate. I I don't foresee it going up to the budgeted figure 120,000 more but it's I don't want to speak to say that it's not going to um the revenue that is not

28
00:08:27.919 --> 00:08:44.240
where it's going because there's a lot of things that go into figuring out what are the receivables what are the student counts at the end of the year what are we expecting to get that should be allocated to that so that's that's a little longer process and I have to wait for some energy reports in order to get

29
00:08:44.240 --> 00:09:00.080
that done. But even though we are sitting at about 18.7 million in revenue and shows 20.5 in expenses, that's not a cash deficit for us because in this 20.5 million,

30
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:15.920
there are four payrolls in there for July and August for the teachers. They just have to be accounted for then, but we don't actually pay the cash out until July 15th, 30th, and 15th. >> They're just recognized. >> Yeah. So, we just have to recognize it.

31
00:09:15.920 --> 00:09:31.440
So, at the end of June, I do five pays and then we just sit on that. So, everybody can see their payubs. They know teacher contracts, but then they don't get paid out until the cash will catch up as we go through.

32
00:09:31.440 --> 00:10:06.800
See we get still get July I don't remember what it was last year whatever it was looking at the budget rece some of the MD reports was just taking a little longer to figure out what the actual adjustments are and it's kind of

33
00:10:06.800 --> 00:10:23.600
pointless for me to do it right now until I have some reports that come in late July, early August. So, um but yes, as far as where the actual end up, it will be to the budget.

34
00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:43.680
Um because another thing to go back to is the student count. The student count was better. Is it exactly 21 students better? It might not be quite there, but it trended better. Um,

35
00:10:43.680 --> 00:11:02.560
any questions on anything? >> Um, then the construction project status. This is it's just giving you a general look at where we what we spent during the uh 2026 fiscal year. We really only

36
00:11:02.560 --> 00:11:19.760
spend about $36,000 to you know to increase that deficit but um pretty much all of that was just attorney fees. We are going to get the settlements bill that's coming in the next week or so and then when that comes

37
00:11:19.760 --> 00:11:37.440
in I will allocate that back to June June 30th that so I won't do it because I did get confirmation today from that

38
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:56.079
mediator does now have all the checks and so he said if it's not cut because that was quick. >> How long was that? >> Well, it's in 30 days to get it to them. There was about two weeks where they

39
00:11:56.079 --> 00:12:12.880
came back with some language uh issues they felt or discrepancies that had to be cleaned up that we had to resign. That was about 10 days later. So they were within 30 days to get the money to [clears throat] the because I as the same thing to the

40
00:12:12.880 --> 00:12:30.639
mediator and now the mediator was it was random >> and and the amount is 450,000 but there was going to be that come out of that >> there still might be more

41
00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:47.880
process. So, do do we have a breakdown of what that what we spent in this? >> I I could get that. Um, >> it'd be interesting to know what what our >> two different

42
00:12:54.399 --> 00:13:19.320
about,000. Yeah, it was in that even though we did spend quite a bit on attorney fees throughout the entire process, it was um finally then uh there is the LTFM.

43
00:13:19.680 --> 00:13:33.920
Um so I don't know if you look through that or >> you don't have it in here. Yeah. We were all able to open it, but it's so difficult to see.

44
00:13:33.920 --> 00:13:51.200
>> So, every year we have to do an FTF plan and to projects and to make sure we're using the funds appropriately. Um, we are so short on funds that for the next few years

45
00:13:51.200 --> 00:14:16.639
through 2030, we're basically showing a spending of about you know, not even 70,000 because we're not even getting 70,000. So, obviously that's not all maintenary budget our maintenance and custodial

46
00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:34.320
budget way. Um and and I could put higher, you know, spending in here, but then they don't like to see a big deficit. You don't really have, you know, a lot of revenue coming in for a while. But then there is

47
00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:53.279
revenue. The revenue will start to go up as much as So hopefully that's start. But in the meantime, it's going to be covered by the general. Another thing too is Obviously, we have groups that have

48
00:14:53.279 --> 00:15:14.079
issues and but we don't really know with no referendum and different we don't have any funding for that. the funds aren't there. So I think that project can you guys know there's a leg legislative change there that we can

49
00:15:14.079 --> 00:15:29.360
levy our people for the roofs. Obviously we don't want to do that. We need to get roof pass and once that can happen hopefully that happens and then we can have a further discussion about okay our roof plan that is now getting a little bit behind

50
00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:44.880
you know we're patching as we go hopefully okay can we buy another few more years to kind of get this going and get a better place so you don't have to let your people us so another thing you should know too a typical district when they

51
00:15:44.880 --> 00:15:59.519
get all relative want to be able to say does it count for these types of things over a period of time and plan for it. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to. The other thing you can use it for is you can use it for your pay staff. Well, obviously we're

52
00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:15.920
not paying staff to it is we can fix it. So, this is these are the things that are kind of getting us uh why we need some we need an investment in the district. I I think another thing too is we did put a lot of money into this

53
00:16:15.920 --> 00:16:39.839
average right now. And so we could get the full of funds, but that leaves us with 67 68,000. We will have a little bit of carryover.

54
00:16:39.839 --> 00:17:03.600
So that's why the CR,000 we've been spending 200 plus. >> So yeah, we'll we'll >> Is there any benefit to rolling out that LTFM budget based on reality?

55
00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:19.039
>> Um as far as like putting it so that there's a deficit. >> Yeah. I mean just to paint the picture of truly the situation I'm in and I'm asking >> inquisitive >> I so I did last year I I built it out

56
00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:34.720
such that and Sarah Miller with end of state she just kind of said yeah you know we need to because by the end of it it was million and it's like well you can't go that's

57
00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:50.640
>> yeah so because you you can run a deficit I for a short time, but you have to show progress towards getting back to it. >> And obviously, we had an idea of what our working project would be. And we're working with the garden company and

58
00:17:50.640 --> 00:18:07.760
they're they're going to come back in try to create a plan for us again and move it out a little bit farther. But until we get that, it's really just right now it's trying not to show a big deficit. You send it to Sarah. Sarah Marthus

59
00:18:07.760 --> 00:18:26.880
Sarah this year we didn't because we said well okay that's finance reality but we can't show I don't want to show that here because what do you have so what can you make didn't you think about that when you did go well >> new yeah new people are coming in here's

60
00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:50.280
what here's the cards we got dealt and we're going to try to move best we can >> but it's not just right I mean that's the boiler It's all mechanical. You can put all that stuff and then it's even um

61
00:18:51.760 --> 00:19:10.720
as stuff like that. So it's it's >> we just talk a lot about the roof and I just want people who are listening to understand that >> we've got more than just one box to check.

62
00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:34.880
>> Yeah. There's significant HVAC stuff. >> Any other questions for Marcus or do you have more Marcus? Uh, no. That's that's it. Any other questions for all right we'll go on to committee

63
00:19:34.880 --> 00:20:03.840
report start budget reporting for the either let's stay because like that. So we have >> uh next one community.

64
00:20:03.840 --> 00:20:20.160
>> Uh so we had this community group here la last week. Uh you know shout out to the things that we talked about was Shannare appreciation week that uh Tracy is doing this week. A bunch of just different treats special things for the staff. So

65
00:20:20.160 --> 00:20:38.000
they do a do a great job over there. Uh look at some of the summer recreation programs. Uh they had a little over 1,600 kits on the website for the uh for our staff for different programs this year of people actually going in and looking at at programs. We offer the

66
00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:53.120
shuttle service. The shuttle was a little kind of conversation amongst here this through this last year of what we're doing doing. Uh we've had a there was 102 riders to date on it and they utilized the small mini bus here.

67
00:20:53.120 --> 00:21:10.880
only one time that they ran into an issue that they were run short, but overall it worked really well. Looking at this upcoming this upcoming year uh for Rebel Kids Care Tra there's some concern about staffing that we're going to have for this next uh fall just

68
00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:27.120
with a lot of kids that have been in this program have worked in this program are now leaving and going to school or doing other things. So a little bit of concern concern there of what what that's going to look like. uh leads and just uh just additional numbers inside

69
00:21:27.120 --> 00:21:45.280
the program. Uh summer summer meals. Uh one of the things they did they implemented for for this summer was uh they have a 10-day rotation. So they they what they've noticed is is the kids are actually eating the meals and we're having less waste because they kind of put out 10 meals that the kids will eat

70
00:21:45.280 --> 00:22:01.520
and that's what they just rotate through. So it seemed like that's fairly well this year. Um, you know, as we look at uh the Todd's program and the school readiness program, they are going to run they are going to run uh both full programs again this year. We have

71
00:22:01.520 --> 00:22:18.320
currently there's fit for the school readiness program. There's 52 signed up, registered confirmed kids uh for the full-time and 11 for the part-time. Ideally, they want to have about 16 to 18 kids per class uh that are a little short or short on part-time ones. So it

72
00:22:18.320 --> 00:22:36.080
looks like they are going to combine both the tots which would be the three three year olds and the foury olds together. So uh that will up to that 16 16 number. It's been a great feeder program a lot of kids. So it's good for good for the

73
00:22:36.080 --> 00:22:51.919
district. Last thing they talked some about the bounds the bound system that it uh yeah there's been it sounds like there's may have been some ch there's some challenges. what I'd love to hear Shannon from you about where you think where we are with that today, but there

74
00:22:51.919 --> 00:23:08.000
are some challenges. Uh, one thing that that I want to push to push on the program is is more how do we on the concessions during community events, how are we managing our our sales, are we tracking what are we doing? Uh, there

75
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:25.679
has been in the past internet issues and one of the things that we're concerned about is uh the football field this year, what that looks like. So, want to make sure that we get that done that more digitalized and ability to

76
00:23:25.679 --> 00:23:41.679
track track what we're doing. So yeah, that's the Yeah. So I'll play off a little bit. So I met with Tracy I think weekly. We've had conversations about staffing obviously. She told me this morning she's

77
00:23:41.679 --> 00:23:57.600
estimating 45 staff members will be leaving middle of August. and uh back to school, back into sports or activities, you know, and I get it like she said too, I get these kids, they're going to take a couple days and then they're going to go to school

78
00:23:57.600 --> 00:24:12.159
before they're going to start their football cross country. Um, but there's a reality of we still have kids coming, right? So, she said uh one thing and I don't know Troy, she maybe brought this up to advisory

79
00:24:12.159 --> 00:24:27.440
council, but she said just so the board knows she's maybe going to have to reach out to parents and say the schedule might have to switch from 6:45 maybe to 7:45. You might have to adjust your hours just so they can accommodate because they

80
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:44.080
still have to stay with gradual ratios. And she's getting really concerned. working really hard trying to work with even that 45 work a day and switch a day but you know that practice every day they can school a day then leaving so she's

81
00:24:44.080 --> 00:25:12.412
her number one concern >> for no she told me so 45 it's said no 75%. >> Yeah, that's a number she gave me. That's what she told me. Looking at 75% staff staff loss. >> Yeah. So, >> I don't know what you guys are doing.

82
00:25:12.412 --> 00:25:29.039
[laughter] >> What are you doing Tuesday morning? >> We just need you for two hours. Um, so if you're watching, listening, and uh you want to help out, she's trying to reach out to any obviously any way she can. Uh obviously we're trying to keep

83
00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:46.320
it as mindful as we possibly can. We also have to make sure we're serious safe. So yeah, it's a challenge. One thing she's already talked to me when we visited this morning, she also talked about how they need to be on the front end of that at the beginning of this summer. Here's your schedule and started

84
00:25:46.320 --> 00:26:03.520
ending. And if you have an issue with that ending, let's tell us right now so we can plan accordingly. Maybe it can spend two months looking for people instead of a month or two weeks. Yeah. So, you know, you learn sometimes like you're leaving. Okay. So, am I so am I

85
00:26:03.520 --> 00:26:18.960
45 minutes later you're um so that's one thing. Yeah. So, there were issues last year with connectivity. We talked about that policy tonight too that she wants to go to mom. She's

86
00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:33.679
I don't know if it's knee deep, ankle deep, chin deep, nose deep in webinars right now going through trainings with bound to get herself up to speed. Uh because she wants to follow that too. Wants to make sure we're consistent as a district. Hey, you pay for the game, you

87
00:26:33.679 --> 00:26:51.200
pay for a spinner or whatever. Uh we're just we're not ready. Uh but they're working through it. She felt today that I'll just watch another webinar, maybe I'll feel fine. But until that happens, I guess uh I haven't had a chance. I know Jesse is is about here with

88
00:26:51.200 --> 00:27:06.960
everything is trying to take everything on probably something too that he's trying to go through trainings. So is Sarah. So they're working. I say it does sound like though I mean that we're not the only ones. The rest the rest of the districts in here are what this is last

89
00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:22.799
week what Trac told me. It sounds like she reached out to other districts. And we seem to be farther ahead. >> Yeah. And so it's great when you all go in together, but if it doesn't work, it doesn't work, right? Or it's not at this speed. It's not at the speed. So

90
00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:38.320
frustrating for Okay, eight communities instead of just us. Well, doesn't make our so hopefully the good news can always go back to cash >> for whatever. I mean, that's still an option. People still >> Yeah, >> we still have an 18.

91
00:27:38.320 --> 00:27:54.399
We do. The other thing I think Troy brought up and it's is it's true is to make sure that our connectivity out at the football field is strong enough bandwidth so it can handle the same thing, right? And it just gets to go. Um yeah,

92
00:27:54.399 --> 00:28:11.279

important piece um MASA uh it's actually so MASA partners with MBE back to school conference it's August it's the Tuesday so August 4th or 5th I'm sorry it's one of those two days it's down center

100
00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:34.799

101
00:30:34.799 --> 00:30:50.880
that lane to stay in St. Cloud because MA leadership happens in Sartell the next day. Uh so I'll attend that. It's a leadership group of RA. So I'm excited about event and then we'll be

102
00:30:50.880 --> 00:31:08.080
doing so just to give you a heads up for those two days. That's Tuesday, Wednesday. I'll be back Wednesday. Uh so I don't know if you know but there's a road we have on the road that's just to the north end of the football field that goes out to the

103
00:31:08.080 --> 00:31:25.919
United Foundation grant area and our FFA corn fields that were planted. So air planted the cornfields in two plantings. So we're going to actually for kids run them through FFA. But just so people there's been some confusion on oh no they're they're building a road need to

104
00:31:25.919 --> 00:31:42.320
pass a referendum or you're building a road and you cut this and you cut that. The road was all part of the grant and so this is our responsibility of the grant piece that's through United Perry. It was written a year ago. That was the portion of that was we need to go and have access to the Perry and FFA is also

105
00:31:42.320 --> 00:31:58.880
part of it. So there working that all too. So no cost to the district other than through this uh grant and through the FFA. So that's how that boat was built. It's not like okay well this money we need to do. That's not the case. This was something set up a year

106
00:31:58.880 --> 00:32:16.480
ago and this summer was scheduled to get done. It's done. We're really happy with the road and it's so there's just people are getting questions. So I want to make sure people No. So if you go to the high school parking lot in the back of the football

107
00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:39.080
field in the back parking lot and the it's just a gravel road. It's they dug down foot put fabric down and it's classified and it goes straight up to where the sp isation >> sort of that dead end that's just to the

108
00:32:39.760 --> 00:32:56.080
>> construction that's going to be like >> oh yeah that's on the south side >> on the south side. >> Yep. This road is not anywhere near that. >> So you know where the football field track and the fence on the north side. So the middle school side >> and Kerry Wescart's classes have been

109
00:32:56.080 --> 00:33:11.440
building planting those berries and plants for them on our gardens. It runs one more length from that. So we set it up so our right also doesn't practice.

110
00:33:11.440 --> 00:33:29.760
So that's where >> the road. >> Yep. We're not touching anything >> and that road is there's no discussion res >> it's a county discussion there's been a lot of discussion as of right now

111
00:33:29.760 --> 00:33:46.480
there's nothing you know it's uh they did a my brain a little bit three years ago been numbers the study and I saw it was pretty substantial it was part of a bonding deal it didn't make it to the final list so it just got

112
00:33:46.480 --> 00:34:03.360
tabled I haven't heard it anywhere with anybody recently about it. Um I'm curious now though that that facility is being built. Will that help us with the city of Glint? But the city of Glennon didn't have the money either to fork in to get it out. County had to

113
00:34:03.360 --> 00:34:24.560
be involved because it's tying into a county. >> Great question. Yeah. So >> it would be very dangerous intersections for our students. >> It's been a long conversation with the county. Uh I'm not excited about it

114
00:34:24.560 --> 00:34:41.760
either because they got to cross to come back and they said it's just >> it's right. And so if you guys know and you've heard that Dworth is going to have four roundabouts. Um is is that an area for roundabout? I don't know. But that'll be a state study

115
00:34:41.760 --> 00:35:03.599
or county study at some point. I would say if that is a roundabout. Okay. Now we're going to do slow down anyway. I don't know. It still makes me situation. >> That would be a state >> control. That's true. Yeah, we can other

116
00:35:03.599 --> 00:35:24.560
than a different >> uh all the way through town. So, >> yep. It's going to start on county 9. It's going to be at this middle right where the lights are now on the edge. Is that four? No, not four. Um what's at the end? would be from the rail the rail

it does. Okay, it's there. Then then also I'll have a link to a form and then I'll ask more specific questions and make this project. We haven't had it other than people just visiting, hey, what's going on? I know there's been conversations with people so they know

138
00:42:18.400 --> 00:42:47.599
why our principles know what directors know but there's no formal way of doing it and I don't want to be so regardless of >> Y and it's something that needs to be done, right? Um I I can tell you with

139
00:42:47.599 --> 00:43:02.720
this list and I don't can't tell you every situation with you. I know a couple of them. If you want to know, you could ask director. exactly what these people chose because they have that conversations but again nothing formal which we do I agree we

140
00:43:02.720 --> 00:43:20.880
need so and we'll have for next year any other questions or discussion hearing none all those in favor say I car number nine new unfinished business 9.1 this is to approve the second reading

141
00:43:20.880 --> 00:43:46.960
the fiscal year 2027 piece as presented motion by a second. >> Any questions or we looked at this uh last time and I know there was some discussion on activity, right? >> Um I think there was, but I don't think

142
00:43:46.960 --> 00:44:02.319
that was really germanine to the issue because we're just talking about fees. I think there was a lot of discussion about >> Oh, you're right. We're going to have it. >> We're going to have it. >> Whether or not that should be on here, I guess that would be portion. I think there was also

143
00:44:02.319 --> 00:44:19.200
the um passes related to um >> members issue and I present expresses desire that it would

144
00:44:19.200 --> 00:44:45.520
be that that would be changed too. >> [snorts] >> Jenna, these are come from Katie. If I remember, she's done research with based on other districts and what they're doing and um some increases obviously as

145
00:44:45.520 --> 00:45:01.839
kind of budgetary. >> Yeah, this is was a portion of the activities budget as we met with team to say okay each department there are some things that we need to adjust. This was the recommendation that she had and full and we talked about every one of these.

146
00:45:01.839 --> 00:45:25.040
So this is what we presented which we did still here. and worry that our fees are going to prevent be going to start becoming cost prohibitive to um participation in events. But let's understand that we are

147
00:45:25.040 --> 00:45:42.960
in a position where we have budgetary challenges that we have to so have a good answer for that. I just I am I am concerned by the increases

148
00:45:42.960 --> 00:46:09.440
Any other thoughts or questions about the house issue? Um, I mean think the thought was that really not that many or it's enough where it's just one

149
00:46:09.440 --> 00:46:30.720
of the perks that teachers get. Um that would be nice to have decrease with 10 seconds. It also helps with potential cost. I uh while I understand that and I do

150
00:46:30.720 --> 00:46:44.720
think that it is a a giant benefit for the staff members and their spouses, if we're asking families to increase um season passes by um fair amount and then

151
00:46:44.720 --> 00:47:02.240
activities fees by $50. Um, and I I think it's unfair for us to only be requesting additions from our students and our families because if you have I mean we have four kids like that's for families with multiple children or um

152
00:47:02.240 --> 00:47:18.880
single family households and for single income households those are going to be um at the crux of some of those challenges for our lower income especially families. And I know there are some programs available uh to assist them but that comes to a cost comes at a

153
00:47:18.880 --> 00:47:39.280
cost to the district as well. also for you know providing additional benefits to other people in the budgetary climate if we have I think that that's question I'm just concern

154
00:47:39.280 --> 00:48:04.839
our students at events today always had a good turnout students at it parents and everything else uh that's 16 here. Go back to your kids and people that have four kids or whatever.

155
00:48:05.359 --> 00:48:22.400
It is what it is. We are in a we in a position that we need to do some try to stop I think it's agenda next year

156
00:48:22.400 --> 00:48:38.640
but our per game uh admissions did not change it appears for uh both uh adults and students so I want to clarify that as well as um it's still free in the golden age pass 62 plus. So I mean those

157
00:48:38.640 --> 00:48:54.880
are still benefits that we're um extending to our community >> and there is a gap uh for families as well as um you know for those that are in need

158
00:48:54.880 --> 00:49:16.400
to any other question hearing none. All those in favor say I. I vote. Motion carries. [clears throat] Motion two. This is approve an extra board bill run for fiscal year 20127 bill from August.

163
00:50:22.480 --> 00:50:40.240
by any questions or dispens. [laughter] >> There's some changes. >> No, I was inquiring about it 5.5, right? >> Yep. >> That's >> Yeah. So, so we just had a policy committee and so this is the first

164
00:50:40.240 --> 00:50:54.720
meeting and there's some clean up on this. So the first 905.5 is fundraisers concession. That's going to just say concessions. 905.5 the concessions cash box reconciliation form is still going

165
00:50:54.720 --> 00:51:11.119

reading, it'll reflect basically what the policy committee just met with tonight to um to these changes. They're all policies are still covering all these things. uh want to get you from this gun because just as we were talking about earlier how that's going to help

172
00:53:02.160 --> 00:53:19.359
last year and it'll read school board of independent school district number 2164 has proposed to increase the general education revenue by $500 per pupil. The proposed referendum revenue authorization would be applicable for 10

173
00:53:19.359 --> 00:53:36.079
