Mhm. >> Mhm. >> All right, we'll call school board members. Everyone present except for Larson. We have a quorum, so we keep going. Uh 4.0 to approve the agenda and I'll move to approve. >> I'll second. >> Any questions or discussion on the agenda?
>> Just so you're aware, there was uh if you look at the updated agenda, uh uh early retirement incentive addition today, so that is added under the consent. Um so just wanted that noted. >> Right. Questions?
All those in favor of approving the agenda, say I. >> I. >> I. >> Any opposed? Motion carries. 5.0 communication reports. We'll start with Superintendent Grover. >> Okay, just a few things. Um one thing that's noted on there, July 14th to July
28th is the period to apply for school board for people that are up for their positions are open or for the public. Um two dollars need to be an eligible voter and age of 21 by the time you enter office. So, um
just throw it out there for people to consider. Um couple things just to note that are on here. you'll see our property casualty renewal is on there. Um it it's up a little bit. Um the biggest influence piece is our work comp. Um it's our work comp is on a
three-year kind of average and um that's about 15 grand of the 26 plus increase. But again, similar to the conversation last year, if you recall, um the one thing they bring up is our buildings are under insured. Okay, and it's it's how
much again, we're at 137 million if everything was wiped out. Okay. We're still getting quotes, but the reality is we probably have 200 million or they didn't give an exact number, but our cost per square foot and
and if you go through the package to replace, we wouldn't have enough if everything again, catastrophic. Now, it's up to you. We didn't increase last year at all and they're not, you know, requiring They said at some point insurer or companies will quit, you
know, um insuring because we're not high enough value. So, again, you know, to go up another 20 million, 30 million, you know, would would cost about 20 grand, 25 grand. It's a matter I'm not going to recommend now, but it's I just want the board aware that again,
I don't know what it would take to wipe, you know, what we're not just talking, you know, hail on roofs. It's wiping everything out, you know, and so um they just said something we should think about, you know, so that you don't maybe necessarily get a big hit down the road, but on the other hand,
yes. I'm willing to leave it as is and not pay more until we have to, but like I say, if something completely we are, quote-unquote, kind of under insured. That makes sense. >> Do you know what comparable districts are
insured to? >> Well, they and again, I I can ask Marsh because they insure a ton of them. They're just saying, "You know what? In each building like and I don't have it with me, but like a high school they were they were going about $400 a square foot for actual replacement including items inside where
like an elementary was it 325 or 315?" You know, every building's not the exact same. Ours is you know, what do you want to say? Booked in like if we I'm going to say lost these two buildings on the north, we would probably have enough. >> Have enough to cover >> Or if you had two on the south, you'd
have enough or you know, something like that or if you had a fire in one, you'd have enough. It's just if like everything out. >> Okay. >> We won't have enough. That makes sense. So, you know, um, it's just like they said
down the road, we may get and again Carlos part of the conversation where they say you got to go up from 137 to 170 in order to get quotes or something. So. >> Okay. >> I just throw it out there. Brought it up last year. Um. One thing I I had an update from Cody um
and it's we've talked a little bit about it. He only has data from the city, but as far as stop arm violations this year, um I we don't have the exact number that were reported. They came back to us with 29 were complete where they could go after the people. They had 21
convictions for the city. So, pretty good percentage and it's not saying the others, you know, there's just enough that whatever it didn't go and again, that's not county, that's not state patrol. So, um [snorts] hopefully I mean, 21 convictions is a lot if you ask me. Yeah, you know, um
but um just giving you an update. Um it's working the the cameras and stuff are making it easier, they said, you know, to enforce and and um And then the other thing I want to just point out, you have a um which I don't know if you've ever done a retired teacher contract for Miss Vetter and
again, she's considered teacher by um statute. A principal is. Um just so you're aware in there, there's no continuing contract. And then other than that, um, you know, her her step in lane would be where she was and she so, um,
suggesting we go forward. So, other than that, I think that's all I have for updates at this point. >> reports? >> I I don't have We haven't, you know, we haven't got anywhere. Um, I did I did reply if I should should put with the to the administrative assistant, you know,
gave a reply back. I just haven't got a, you know, um, counter or whatever. >> Any questions? Board >> Good. 6.0 is a consent agenda. Now, I'll move to approve. >> I'll second. >> Okay.
Any questions on the consent agenda? All those in favor of approving the consent agenda, say I. >> I. >> Any opposed? Motion carries. 7.0 is opportunity for citizens to speak on items. I'm going to move have one. >> Well, hang on. We're going to do a work
session. So, for the So, I mean, unless there's something like say that that will be I think you want later during the work session, right? >> Want it during the work session or do you want it Okay. We'll wait for that.
Any other citizens wanting to speak? 8.0 is district business. 8.1 is to move to designate Kevin Grover, Superintendent of Schools, as the identified official with authority beginning July 1st, 2026 as presented and attached in board book.
>> I'll make a motion. >> I'll second. >> And again, just to make sure everyone's on board, all this does is the I was the person that can go in and give MDE authority to the different like if the principal has to be on whatever system, that's what it does. That's
>> Any questions or discussion? All those in favor of designated Superintendent Grover, say I. >> I. >> Any opposed? Motion carries. 8.2 is a motion to approve the property casually workers casualty workers compensation

but egg looks like um for $145 and 32 cents. Total donations are 2,199 and 32 cents. >> I'll second. >> Any questions or discussion on
