enough to step up and uh speak on a public meeting that is recorded and live that a fair amount of people attended um and some of them weren't in um favor of it and yet our students stood their ground

principal meeting I parent 't received anything to sign for my child to leave uh during lunch oh okay so no that's a great question not sure we i y r up at the principal meeting right I think it was that week of our board meeting yep I'll find out any other questions for all right we'll move on to 8.1 this is to approve approve the regular meeting minut of December 16th 2024 do I have a motion motion by Nicole do I have a second second second by mik any questions or discussion all those in favor say i i v motion carries on to number nine Declaration of Association for possible conflict it's opportunity so the public knows this opportunity for anyone on the board if they have conflict interest to declare that and it's helpful later on the year if we ever have something so I don't know if anybody has any I think I I've said this the last four years but my husband's Grandma owns SP sanitation and she passed so it's being run partly by my motherinlaw we've already worked with before I got on the board there all right anybody else have anything all right very good let's go on to number 10 10.1 this is for the nomination of a vice chairperson and uh so I will open it up to

to approve the bills to dat for January 2025 the amount of $ 25,36 18 cents all right good um also included in your tet is U will approve the in file for audit the treasures monthly budget report then also to approve the resignation of Randy Larson career professional January 24th do I have a motion on motion by mik do I have a second second second by any questions or discussion you'll notice that we're just about right on our percentage which is not where I'd like to be but with our enrollment and the doers coming from the state we right on and we'll talk more about this next um at the next board meeting when we do the final budget but definitely tighter this year than what I'm used to um enrollment being the number one factor yeah and we were close to where we were last last year Well yep yep yep very close so yep it's some of that pre prepaid stuff you know not prepaid but paying a whole Insurance up front and all that and slowly catching up but anyway my life but yeah any other questions or discussion here done all those in favor of the agenda say I I I motion carries on to 12.1 this is for school board compensation and in your packet there is um School Board compensation from U that was currently in place for 2024 certainly can adopt it as that or we can change it to um typically we bring a motion first and then um discuss that so if anybody has we're looking for a motion and I can just tell you what the dollar amounts was $300 um per person chair person is stien of $100 the treasur is a $50 stiped and um or sorry the clerk is a $50 stien the treasurer has a byly stien of $62.50 and then uh negotiating meetings at um $50 per negotiation meeting I think it's been this for the last two years and then prior to that we would um we would have dollar amount per meeting and um just so then it would be your negotiations meeting your budget meeting your whatever so it got kind of goofy and hard for um just a lot of record keeping yeah with the office to try to figure out all the things we monthly that we looked at several other schools and we by no means are close to like average or above average now we are yeah the only reason that EX compensation with the negotiations is just don't know how many meetings it's going to be and it's a ton of time and so it's like okay we should have something separate for that so that's all that kind yeah um I don't know if it matters if I'm since I'm the treasurer but I don't think personally don't think the Sten is necessary like I don't think I'm doing byly $62 more than everybody else I don't know so I don't know that I guess I think that's what it was at when I was Treasurer just kind of been that way I never 20 years I know that's I didn't realize that was that even I mean I don't care what anyone else thinks like it's fine if everyone else agrees but I don't know how it got set to I don't you know Ty well and I guess for clerk um so we should really sorry we should really have a motion in a second and then we should have our discussion I don't think we did that yet no we haven't I I still moved the as it is and then we'll have to discuss it okay all right so was it I think Britney Britney whoever to redo it I I don't know anyone else's thoughts I've never been the treasurer so I I guess I would be open Laura was the treasurer you're the treasure I'd like to hear your thoughts as to what your duties are as I I guess what I did is I reviewed the bills I was in more communication than Marcus or Brooke but I mean it it's not like it was hours and hours of time so I I mean it's $10 a month roughly so right just trying to save us a few I appreciate I'm just saying budget being as as it is you know it matters no 122 123 bucks I mean maybe they you figured that there had to be some sort of an incentive to make someone want to do something additional was being a director sure that makes sense so I'm assuming that that's why they have those in place it's a weird number can we change it to 6 have no idea where the extra like just make it look nice or 50 We Do 50 instead yeah I mean I think that's fine would you want to make a motion to amend that yeah motion to amend the payment for Treasure to $50 for the year even 50 for the year I mean I'll take it by yearly sure $100 is fine okay so$ $23 is fire let's just make let's just clean it up and put 50 all right so there's the motion to motion do have a second second all those in favor to any questions or discussion hearing none all those in favor to amend the motion say I iose motion to amend the motion has been pass any other questions on the discussion on the motion so the motion as it stands right now is $300 per person per month chairperson $100 extra per month clerk monthly stipend of $50 and the treasurer by yearly stipend of $50 negotiating meetings at $50 per meeting for the clerk since I've been on I don't remember when it was changed but it was there was um there's now a district employee that is doing a lot of the duties of the clerk so I don't think it is necessary to have that um monthly St um I you know would still do all of like whatever signature is necessary but the um you know because Brooke is doing all of the notes and sending it out to the rest of the group and so without me doing that it's not really necessary it make sense to make it the same as the treasure you have to read a lot of yeah resolutions it's a groovy position but there's and and her signature we need her signature and quite a few things a lot of people pay high money for AOG seriously I guess I'm open to to hear what other people's thoughts are on it because I think that that would make sense to align it with the uh Treasurer if you're saying that the job duties are consistent as far as time and energy that go into that I think that that would be appropriate well keep there an importance I guess to that that position itself um and if you have to come in to sign something for PR or whatever that does add a little bit to the challenges of scheduling a life so then have it just a byly stien similar to so that's a motion yes you have a second to Laura's motion second second any questions or discussion questions all those in favor of amending the motion say I I oppos motion to amend the motion is passed any other questions or discussions on the the motion so as it stands $300 per person per meeting $100 for the month sorry per month sa money on that treasure so we're going to crush it on the other end per person per month chair person monthly sement of $100 the treasurer and the clerk both will have a a by- yearly stien of $50 negotiating meetings at $50 per me any other questions or discussion hearing none all those in favor say I I I motion carries all right on the 12.2 um this is to have um to set this 2025 school board meetings and the um yeah right in front of me the calendar is presented here is in the packet um generally it's going to be at 6:00 p.m. most of the time and here at the Glendon site Media Center um we have sometimes we'll have it at the or sorry at the dgf community room here and then sometimes we will have it at the media center for various items any do I have a motion motion by La do I have a second second second any questions or discussion yeah so you see there I think there's three meetings at five these are the reasons there is we already know there's concert conflicts that are set up for a year from now uh and that's the same then with that media center location there's something going on in the auditorium where there's a game or something we already know about so we said well let's just set it because we know so are they going to be aware of this schedule going forward so there isn't as much shifting and changing I mean obviously it's good that we have those three set out um but this year we had a few conflicts where they were scheduling them on top of meetings or other meetings yep it's all sports meeting win sports meeting we've had we've had these discussions so y that it's like we have to set something guys so we're going to set it and you just got to avoid it it's kind of like a uh um you know County why am I blinking out um Township County um elections that's what I want to say it's it's yeah that was easy um yeah um so we already know these dates right so it's like yeah know you got to avoid them right you can't have meetings so it's like leave us alone right kind that's what we've said now well we just available to the public and yep then that's our responsibility right I would agree the thing that happens sometimes is um it's Katie because she gets something from and all a sudden something has to change you know it's most of the time um it's controllable but not always and that's when this year we ran into a few these are things we already know so I thought well let's just change them and be done yeah that makes sense on that any other questions or discussion is there only one December meeting just because of holidays um we just do that that's also our truth and Taxation meeting yeah it's always just been one good question we don't toship election right and I think the May 27th is a Tuesday because the 26th is Memorial Day um have somebody that's highly intelligent working on this calendar she's sitting right over there so I have a lot I have a lot of trust in her and there is no reason why there would be any mistakes on this anyway um yeah try our best but and we do get those dates from townships and uh and cities and counties so we should be okay yeah any other questions or discussions hearing none all those in favor say I I oppos same sign motion carries on 12.3 this is um to approve the lane changes as presented and this is a your ta do I have a motion Move Motion a second by Nicole any questions or discussion great question um so teachers uh take R school credits and once they reach 10 uh they can bounce over on the pay scale and then when they get to 20 so there's ba1 ba2 you get to a master's degree if you get your master's degree then you go beyond so it's just 10 10 credit increments and they have to do it there's only two times a year they can do it it's before school starts in September and also in January so this is that January meeting so on that sheet you can see what teachers have increase your education and what Lane change they um received and where they're at now so y it's part of the collective part y yeah any other questions great question hearing none all those in favor say I I post motion carries on 12.4 this is to
