I would uh make is if you didn't notice their uh Hannah Hillman was added to resignations um and then the only other thing I want to make sure is we added and I I don't remember if it was Friday or when the the summer wave back under action items just that if you had looked

reports start with superintendent gber okay um and again as always no specific order um if possible assing you know this doesn't go all night or something we're ready to look at some uh well for the elementary principal the community
ed um social or uh student services look at the applications so I I guess I'm just asking if a few board members that want to participate in that would meet afterwards so we can at least come up with a plan whether we look at them tonight you know and get through
everything um so I don't you know yeah whoever wants to participate if we could do that and at least meet and then we'll figure out if it works hour or because we want to move as quick as we can and show you what we have um so
that's that uh update on um preschool um I I got information on the um Sanford building um and we can look at that if we want to Circle back that group I playing phone
tag with a guy by the name of Ryan his last name starts the be if you look on the the um St Michael's Furniture building there's a a real and so that I just took that number and they're trying to lease it for them and so we've we PID played phone T again today so I don't
have much information on a price or whatever but there again if a group The either the group or a group wants to come back together very soon we're going to have some information whether we think it's worth exploring or not or look at the other options um and again I
have the the options from IC as well from earlier so again I'm just throwing out if we can set a date because I will get Ryan and I you and I Josh were you there is that
sure wait I don't know you well I mean I think both said Josh but I don't knowbe Brandon might have been Brandon well for the most part when I've met the couple times it's should been two of you I don't know why we just lump there
but come yeah we can meet okay so I'll reach out prol just explor the options like looking at we got some um bids yes and then we y yep Nikki and it'll come back to the whole group um the only other thing I want to talk most of
what's been going on is obviously budget and Staffing and trying to get through that type stuff but I did spend two days in the cities last week it's our Masa um conference and I just give you heads up um the the opening speaker was a guy by the name of John Garrett which I've
never heard of but um he has research has books but he's also a comedian and so talked about you know um different ways of working with employees employees well-being fostering communication um really focused on finding I think his
book has some title of people's and meaning you know I'm a father but that's a piece of me but what really you know um fuels your fat your passions I mean yeah I enjoy my job but if you can make those connections and know stuff about each your employees that it really means
something if someone comes along and goes you know how's your remodel project going you know if that's your how's your quilting or whatever and so it was good and it was also very enlightening because it was in a comedy he he's done standup comedy for years and he pulls that all in um yeah so so that was good
the other closing speaker was a uh again really put your life in perspective but uh a j Jason and I won't say his last name schy but but he was a police officer that was involved in a fiery crash um a driver that had a I'm going
to say a seizure wasn't a drunk driver or something burn I mean he can't hardly shouldn't have lived but he's also went on to go you know what I made that choice I I I was a police officer I you know I could have went different and he's just he goes around speaking and
going you know what you can sit there and we all have tough situations in our life but you choose which way you're going to do it yeah you know and are you going to dwell on it and so it was it was a closing and it was very touching but it really makes you think that you
know it can have a bad day but in perspective is it really a bad day and and so um along with that MD had a session with them obviously looking at Finance talking about what's going on um not a lot of definites right now yeah
you know a lot more a lot of um wh ifs met with the the finance person from mde on a side note um did did sit in on one on summer learning um some different programs that are possibilities not so much for this year it's going to take some time um and then there was another
one um similar to kind of the opening speaker but um some people put on on some nine key areas in managing employees so um it was good a lot of collegial stuff so um but it's too apply so so it was good
that's all I have right now um that just reminded me of one thing do hly and Matt do you guys get the msba emails on the legislative updates yeah I do principal updates today typically the for no okay how about committee reports
I don't have anything um I did get something back from Amanda today on those policies so unless I hear well I mean assuming there's not major changes we will because we just didn't put them back on not having heard most of them are pretty Minor Adjustments yeah pretty
much you know and some even being clerical you know that and so we we'll have a chunk of them on next go around probably seven eight nine I don't know but a lot of them are nothing really you know and so um
that's all the um leadership committee is meeting again tomorrow um uh to hopefully get a good chunk of that strategic plan finished that admin group looked at it when I was gone on Thursday and so um other than
that I don't think anything has met oh we just had our facilities one oh yeah sorry go ahead you want to sorry yeah hide my notes down just right before the meeting here and we just went over um just the plan that we'd already approved and the
budget we'd already approved but just making sure that we're kind of set to get going on the boiler replacement at South Point wait yeah South Point and then some other things we might have no new boiler replacement at New Heights New Heights South points next South points next um and then just a couple
other projects odds and ends that we can get finished wrapped up the stage curtains finally and um some handrails and some other bleachers outside on the football I'm trying to think of what else was on that list but yeah there was
small things the big thing is the boiler is the boiler so we'll get that handled and we have one more to do next year and then we'll have the drain drain tile itself point oh yeah finishing playground area half of it was done with chips the other half will be finished in chips and there's some chips for New
Heights because we've had some complaints leave a little cushion and possibly um check off another boiler and that's about it questions or discussion moving on to 6.0 the consent agenda a motion to
approve so moved I'll second any questions or discussion or anything pulled from the all those in favor consent agenda say I I I oppose carries 7.0 is
opportunities for citizens to speak I didn't have any did you have any superintendent no 8.0 District business we're moveing to 8.1 the revised fiscal year 26 budget take a motion to approve the revised fiscal year year 26 budget
has presented and attached board book then we'll questions yeah we we'll go through we we really need a motion in a second and then I'll make I'll make a motion to approve the revised budget for 206 then yep
okay right any questions or discussion so if we can if if Carla can come up I mean she's gonna walk through and and I will jump in as we're going through if that's okay and and again before we even get anywhere again I thank um Carla
immensely she's done a lot of work um and it is a hectic time right now I thank you in advance no problem it's roughly 8,000 budgetary lines to go through just just but um that's just the fun side
statistic um where do you want to stripe M Mr I would start with the you know and then has a second sheet sure all right so um I have projected revenues coming in at the general fund which is the big
chunk of 29 million roughly and total fund across all um total revenue across all of them at 33.2 which is um roughly $755,000 increase last year most of it
is in the general fund and that's just because of our increase in student enrollment over last year and um the the for funding formula went up this year about 2.9 2.74 2.7 that that that is an adjustment that is in statute now it's
based on the um Consumer Price Index or whatever so um unless the legislature somehow gives us more but things aren't looking good right now you know I mean funds are just not good so at least we know right now and and that's helpful and that's just basic formula so there's
you know cross subsidies and all sorts of fun stuff that goes along with that and then um moving on any questions there okay um one thing to note with food service and it's on the second page but I was
really really conservative with that just because I don't know where fentral funding is going to lend so that's I would rather conservative than overestimate so it's just a side note there expenses um most of the increase again lies in the general fund and um we
have to remember that 80% of that is salary roughly so maybe closer to 82% so that is the big chunk of the increase when can I ask one question yes yeah so when would you see that money come in
because I'm guessing like even if F something happens at the federal level with the Department of Education there's already Appropriations that happened yeah and right now for my understanding for next year special Leed Food Service
um Title One title two is in question but most of the title Pro that's already set for next year right okay I mean I'm never going to say never yeah you know but that's what we're being told so for the most part you know I think we're
fairly but yeah I mean I agree with the conservative measure definitely I was curious as we only received roughly a 9 Cent increase in the funding for a meal so that's not a lot with the cost of and course what prices are doing you know it's not
you and I are us locally I mean the price of food for the kit is going up right now drastically ents and that's that's average so between all breakfast lunch snacks
um right where was okay so um yeah so in total increase of expenses of 984000 um that's what I have there um so projected fund balance this year is 3.6 million what I projected with this um
budget if it's approved is 34 now there is going to be some flexibility depending on if it hits a reserved fund um we can do that but we don't want to drain our reserves either so but more importantly if we just if we
go on to the second page you're going to see a lot of the assumptions that are in here um because you know to me that's the number numbers are important but knowing what's in or not in right is really to me what gets us thinking so the revenues was calculated
at um 200 or excuse me 2,28 students now that is ADM count so that's our average daily membership um and so that includes our early childhood so that's anybody zero to three that's in special or special education IEP services our VPK
and our K12 preschool is not available so our threes are not we do get Pathways funding which increased this year Diane 8500 8,500 per student um and we have
five of those right correct five y um so then uh what I went with is exactly what we project for we didn't go down we didn't go up so if we have a decrease of students it's going to be dollar for
dollar so but if we have an increase it's also dollar for dooll um so that's just something to note um compensatory revenue is based um I just wanted to make note of that because that is the volatile one right now which
is um based on our free and reduced numbers and they are switching this year from in Minnesota from paper to direct CT to what direct certification so that's just like um who automatically
well they they did switch and so now going forward there's districts that you know were winners and losers just like any transition and so there's a couple like the governor has a proposal out there and that's what we're going with there's another like a hold harmless
that is a slightly different both of them were winners if you will meaning we're better off some districts there's major you know differences and so either way one of those two or in the ball game are going to come out um and whether
they change anything but but we're we're just and it's I don't want to say luck of the draw it's how many were paper how many when the direct CT goes off the county numbers and people being served um so yeah um and then we already talked about food service any questions on
those so well so there's no there's going to be no more free and roduced lunch applications then for families to fill out you can't you still can it just doesn't count towards our story Revenue but there's other things and that's part of what they're trying to work through because we get other
funding you know off those numbers right now it does not affect compensatory but there's other funding and that's the problem is getting people to do those forms when you can eat you know and and and that's the problem with the whole system and they're they're working and
it's not here it's everywhere you know everyone has the same problem and it's a lot of work time effort personally it's time to find a different way to do it if it's using the direct then get everything to run off those numbers and we all I mean but again there's people fighting the other way hey no our
numbers went horribly wrong let's go back to paper you know or do direct SE and paper and let it you know so just we're going to be okay for time being but they're looking at how to come up with a fix if you will better system and that's one thing to note too
is that a lot of ours are direct C and it was before and it probably will continue um because that does rely on our Title One funding as well in close through that so we do need paper and um and direct
certification so that is our Revenue okay so expenses things that are note that are big changes there's always changes in there that are unexpected but um we added two two fdes um for our
elementaries um so at least what's built in here is we talked about remember we had the Sho time before where we and I'm just going to throw it out there we'd add a section to second grade we're going to in essence lose one in third because of the groups moving up there would be two and fourth additions you
know one's the replacement and one's the bigger class moving forward and then at this point we have two Replacements in sixth grade they were already in here you know the people were pushed forward so in essence it's a plus two if we end up approving here as we talked and a
half C yep yep and and what was that last part okay now now keep in mind we've posted for a full-time counselor but what we had I'm going to use um Steph she was halftime Career Academy halftime counselor well if we hire a
full-time social worker or counselor we also have that halftime position we have posted for the Career Academy so it's in essence a half addition something right yeah and that's in that's in the budget
yeah um VPK I went with 75% in the general fund 25% in the School Readiness program and that's just because of the state statute of who can qualify and who doesn't qualify now we get to decide who is considered at risk so um it may
change going forward so that's just one thing to know you mean the percentages it's a change yep so that's just a a fair estimate um there's a new act that takes place in 2026 which is the Paid Family Medical Leave Act um right now we
are responsible at least 04 4% of the payroll tax it's um total of 8.88 and it's can be negotiated but our Fair chair is 044 minimum minimum so we have that built in if we pay the whole thing I'm guessing that's going to be a
negotiated item as part of the group's raises or something you know because it's a financial piece so um TR went up to 99.5% that is I believe a 1% increase or 75%
increase um technology I built in 250,000 um I did not break it down per item because um honestly we don't know where our student devices are going to land um Jason correct me if I'm
wrong tariff is the ruling they won't give prices right now unless oh sure yeah yeah and so I mean it's in the ball game of what has been allocated for we've done third and N is it third and nth grade third third and eth grade one building's been being done for what we
call staff computers and then kind of what we have left over we're doing the new line boards or or that type interactive boards and so that's the ball game of the figure but we're gonna have to look at it I mean if scary what yeah you know may or may
not happen to bryces yeah um we've talked could we hold back at a certain point it's Poss you know we'll see as we go yeah you know I mean if things go crazy can we get by you know of course getting by then pushes and you know this group might be okay but another set
might die earlier yeah you know so there's some option but that's ball game the The Range to work with and on top of our technology um for our devices we're also looking at our um access points and our networks that need to be replaced
and we do get eate this is the last year of funding for eate um we're hoping that it'll continue um program again so yeah so use it up well well we're in a fiveyear cycle right five is it five so this is the
last year of the fiveyear cycle so we want to get her done um so 60% is funded so our share is 112,000 so that got built in and then um between terms
unemployment we get 254 projected we don't know how much money is left that's a the state level so um I did budget 40,000 above that amount just to be care safe so you budgeted 294 yes okay Y how
much did we use last year about 265 I think 265 yeah but again keep in mind it was only the second year it grew drastically last year and so now again the governor if you looked at his revised budget has money in there but doesn't mean the governor's budget is
going to be approved you know um but that's the fears if they don't um and if you're aware or not most of our unemployment other unemployment we can Levy you know the cost after the fact some are unemployment you can't for this
group so that's the big fear again Levy means it' be on the local taxpayer but at least the district doesn't you know lose out so our fingers are cross that they do cover the cost and push the the long-term fix down the road another year or so
so um in transportation we already have a bus on order so that'll go on next year's um budget and I believe it's almost close to being done but we are not accepting ownership until July 1st um and then we also need to increase our suburan Fleet so I add a $60,000 for
that and then lastly we're on our science curriculum which is$ 250,000 we budgeted for I have not we gave them till the end of March I believe so let's see a that's a give and take right there so that's what I have for those any
questions there so keep in mind revenue and expense that's kind of what the the is that I just have one that Suburban that van I don't remember is that one just one just one just one okay yeah yeah I just put yep we don't know what it's gonna be but yeah that's so those
are built in you know if you approve the budget that's what's in there that's what's not in there now now keep in mind just some things going forward um you know for instance the football field and I mentioned this at the facility meeting um you know that Turf is going to need
replacement sometime you know that they have a ballpark figure of a million dollars whether that's exactly accurate or not I don't know where we get the money for that you know ideally you'd be setting you know 100,000 or 75,000 or something it's not at least from what I
understand it's in good shape but it's over half its life expectancy is what at Le Scott has told me you know so I mean it could be six seven years down the road whatever we need to be thinking about that because like I say I'm not saying you couldn't eat into your
reserve but million bucks puts us in a bad place but yet I can't find money right now to be setting aside yeah you know same thing with you know there there's some other you know we talked about the phone system camera sound system it can fall into you know the the
capital projects the you know long-term some of it long-term facility but we're hitting that point you know the buildings are getting to be about 30 years old and some of the stuff um Jill could testify her her sound system isn't really good right now you know I mean how long it holds in and some of the
stuff I don't know I haven't um it's getting hard to get parts on you know and equipment on so like you say there's just not a lot extra you know especially when you're in the hole already um we're we're crossing our fingers we can come out a little better than what's projected but we're also being very
upfront and I told you this um at the last meeting we've cut out a lot of what you'd consider without changing Staffing because 80 82% you know is that salary and benefit so we're getting to that point where there's not a whole lot of
extra and so you either start looking at you know changing the way you operate if we're going to or we're going to have to look at other options you know looking at operating Levy looking at something with preschool and you know you know and an operating L whatever but it's something to keep in mind I'm Not Afraid
like say I'm going to recommend this to to you um if you looked on the front as Carla talked about the the unassigned fund balance and it's something to keep in mind because um just because you know it shows 400 plus th000 and you can say why is the unassigned only going down
200 or whatever it is it's because of some of the different buckets where we're eating some things down you know and they're reserved but it's only affecting the unassigned year policy says from 8 to 25% okay last year we were 7 or
something we're projecting around 14 if this is approved so I mean you're still in the window but we're down getting down on the bottom end so I mean it's just as long as you do it with eyes wide open yeah that's the way you know where we're at but um like say 100,000 is the
E rate so that wouldn't be there next year 112,000 you know so I mean in my mind I'm looking at you know 400 a little over 400 coming down to a little over 300 still a lot of money but you know if you want to keep class size
where they at if you want to you know keep the counseling if you want to keep you know everything going then we push it down the road if we want to make adjustments then we going to need price more conversation so to this point right now we've been operating what I would
consider we we've been keeping everything working right now but you know this is only going to sustain us for so long at some point in time we're going to need to be updating a lot of things otherwise all these things are going to start falling apart at the same time and then we're going to be in big
trouble yeah as far as educating our kids and making sure that um they get the best education they can from from us well and it's one of the other pieces that and again I'm just throwing out you know there's been talk of you know could we get more coaches because our
participation numbers are up you know and it all comes with costs you know and Facilities another piece I mean you know we were talking tennis courts here a little bit ago I mean you don't have money really right now to even do a good fix to your tennis courts I mean at
least I'm going to say the boiler comes before the tennis court you know there's other things you know if the sound systems aren't working you know cameras and so it's I I think it needs a bigger question of how we're going to deal with some of these you know longer and again if we
had new maybe you could deal with more kids you know and I'm just going to out there's not a lot for sixth graders right now um in the spring because the participation number in seventh and eighth are so high that the activities are full and it's you know it's
unfortunate but like you say it's a it's trying to keep the balls and some years when the numbers have been down sixth graders are allowed to participate and so it yeah it's it's it's a hard place to be in because yeah sooner we get them going the better off you know it is but
we really don't have the facility and some of the events or some of the activities right you know L alone you know the coach thing and again that's been asked but we're going to look at that through negotiations because to me we have to come up with
how we're doing there has to be a rhyme and reason otherwise do you want to touch on the SEC the other piece does anybody have any questions on the second grouping because we pretty much covered most of it yeah the other it's just in two
different forms you know if you look at this it breaks it out slightly different you know and um like you say if you look back um yeah it's it's where it is so the piece of approving tonight just so you're aware you know and if
again we're recommending it go forward but if you do then we move forward with like I say the addition of two you know Staffing is the big piece now whether we change a little bit something somewhere else yeah there's room to you know um if something happened we haven't ordered a
van yet or a Suburban or whatever I mean that'll come to the board before it's done you know but I mean if there's other PL but the big piece is with the plan of Staffing going forward because like you say I mean you're going to hire a principal but if you were going to cut
some other position maybe we don't hire that that yeah yeah you know or whatever that's where we have to move so that's the big piece in approving this um and like I say we need to have discussion if people have questions if people you know where where's everyone at I guess I
don't have any questions regarding this this is looking a lot better than previous years to be honest yeah um I agree with Josh though like we keep the lights on and if we don't start talking about maybe an operating you know lovey
or whatever we're going to do um I don't know how we can improve so it we you know we've talked about that before we're one of the only districts that doesn't have one um in this area and we have expectations of having
smaller class sizes and having all these you know things for our kids to do and keeping them active and giving them all we can give them and that's what we want to do but it comes with a budget so um I
think it's difficult to look at the this is probably my third year in a row now where I'm like really so I think we can do better but that's bigger conversation I agree and there's many different ways to look at it because I
mean you know just take the technology piece there's a lot of places that have a technology again it has to be voter approved but in this day and age look at all the technology in the building right you know I mean if that is more palatable that just frees up money
250,000 right here if we're just looking at this one you know that could be used somewhere else and that's a different type of expense to the taxpayer as well well I mean they all have pros and cons but I'm just saying sometimes you know operating Levy maybe isn't as pal I you
know um or like I say depending on what you're looking you know the facility we're trying to do it with our ltfm you know if we were all of a sudden pulling more out of General fund to do some project like I say say say the turf field right now had to be done something I'm just using as an example you don't
have enough Reserve anywhere other than the general fund well in that case you'd be better off looking at a facil you know a referendum for a facility you know borrowing the money so I mean it needs some conversation yes um you know preschool is another piece of it
organization around it you know um preschool programs in a good place but again we'll get one more call the the one here is pushing a quarter million dollar a year you'll pay in rent I mean is that a good thing or a bad thing and and it's mainly just the four-year-old
it's not the other you know it's not enough space to take the whole thing you know so I mean yeah I think we need to somehow I guess you know it's I'm just one person and just as a someone who've grown up here my entire life I think
it's if we don't look at some sort of a levy we can't grow as a community if our school isn't up to where it needs to be and if we can't expand what we have and it's great that our community is getting bigger and it's great that our class sizes are growing and stuff like that but we have to be able to accommodate
them from an educational standpoint and I don't know how else we could do it without something like that we're one emergency room Bill away from from being in a hurt bag so not quite because you know but on the other
hand a lot of these things don't happen overnight great plan yeah prioritizing and nobody wants to raise taxes but if you look at the price of the tax taxes that would I I'm not going to go on a SPI like that tonight but but we don't it don't have to get to that point but we have to be
able to say hey we have to be able to tell people that and let them know that if we want to continue if we want to continue to be here we want our kids to grow we want our kids to have the best education system around this area we want more people to come to our school and come to our community we we have to
do technology to keep up with things or whatnot we can have to just and we've we've done a fantastic job in my opinion to get to the point we are right now like you said no one else has levies you know everyone else has levies around us and we don't and we've been really holding off and we've been we've been
doing our best to accommodate and and we've had to make really hard cuts and hard choices from our standpoint as far as how we operate the school and it's time that we go back to the to the people and say hey this is what we
need agreed should we set up or set up a um working meeting to discuss this and get it going so that we keep just mentioning and actually start doing an action see what we want to do how much we would need different things like that it it's where it needs to start yes you
know I mean because again I'd say take time we need to start now correct would say having a conversation and and getting some ideas of what you want to focus on and then if it's like I say Ellers will come in with numbers but if it's facility related it's just
operating kind of depends on who you bring to the table because if we're going to look at some upgrades to facility you're probably going to use someone like IC or one of those companies to help guide us through yes through through the process um so I would say it would be starting the work
session with us first correct and and that's what I think yeah absolutely so our next meeting is the 14th is that right yeah April do is that enough time to get things organized and get a working session and yeah because for the most part it's going to be our group I'm not
going to bring you know Ellers or another group in until we kind of focus on what we think you know what we think we need um whether it's like I say there's well like you said the different options that we have there's a bunch of different options yeah yeah so yeah I
mean it can be the 14th it can be prior to that I mean does anybody see the need to have a special meeting we make a part of that I think if it's if we're serious about it I don't think we should wait that's just my thought process on it I mean if it's
until the 14th so maybe the seventh yeah if it works out I think that this is something that our community needs and at least they need to know what it is that our school is in dire need of and struggling with and I don't think that we should wait an extra two weeks to
make those recommendations the seventh is still two weeks away but okay so when would we is it Monday the best sure Monday the 31st or did you want to still do the two weeks we just oh I'm fine with the 31st
we can go next Monday I'm good with that Matt yeah that works you the 31st yeah I don't think I have at 5:30 works for me yeah yeah okay again I'll pull some talking points I mean and and I guess I would all of our homework is what do you
think the biggest needs are yeah you know because I and again we'll pull some stuff together and and have but I mean it's going to be a if you want to say it a round table of discussion discussion and like you say then we'll go from there and get some numbers for you can
we get a list from all the Committees of all the things that are on there so like the facilities committee all the things on there all the things from the safety committee meeting because there's like cameras and different things like most of that stuff like yeah they cross over because they do yeah yeah there a list
of the actual things that are being looked at now might be good too yeah I can I can generate yeah we got a facility we have that you know it has camera systems it has Bobs not everybody has no no yeah no we'll bring yeah we'll bring that it's already been made yeah we'll bring it we have some numbers on
preschool we can talk about that you know as options work for you uh yeah no okay I had one more question what are new boards they're like the interactive boards they're the interactive White I call them whiteboards if you go in where
you can draw them they can record they can to be honest they should be in every room you know in my but are they a necessity when we don't exactly have a lot of money so to have it on the technology thing when maybe staff computers should be above that you know different things
I just think that there's other things that might be more important than theity wise it would be student devices staff computers new line board with its remainder would the key fobs and stuff be under technology too because no they
they come in under facilities facilities yeah they're already on our list for facilities okay and then cameras are under what again they're under facility I I mean they're again if we were buying I want Jason looking at from a tech
standpoint is this what we want and this and that but they come in under facility no different that's where that talks come where we SE like okay most of our need in technology then do we talk about the technology L you know yeah label it as need okay and that'll be part of the
conversation because I mean on an annual basis like that 250 which is going up you is an annual yeah you know the phone system the the camera you know that's more I want to say one time sound system speakers we talked about some lights for
some of the areas you you know like when you go into a lockdown you know more one time but like I say um if technology is what we think would be more palatable there's a good chunk of money that you could you know it's a shell
gain okay so we are still on 8.1 with the revised budget we have a motion in a second so now I am going well any more questions there is the budget so all those in favor of approving the fiscal year 26 budget as
presented and attached say I any opposed motion carries .2 is to approve summer wave Child Care fees and dates you yes thank you Sor and attached in board book I'll make the motion to
approve a second um what were the bees last year and0 okay so they're only one of them went up yeah 30 and 35
maybe they both went up $5 the one day drop in is going up is that the only one that's going up one day drop we never we didn't have okay to register in advance they couldn't just call you on Monday and say Hey you have an opening on Friday I'd like to
get J involved and and so that has a been an option so that's a new um new feature um if on if space and Staffing allows um but the the the fulltime rate
was 30 and 40 and so we just we just uh rais full so the part-time is not an increase right what's the average cost of other dayc carees or whatever in the area of child that full time or part time day
and this is about $700 a month full so we should do you think the other on should go up too I do one went up why would both of them go up yeah yeah I can increase it5 increase as well yeah 355 yeah that yeah I think they both
should be increased well not yeah equ not the drop in but yeah like both of them have an increase this year if one went up I feel like the other should go up too just to fit notice the drop in's high but it's it's really because well that's hard but you can't well no that's the problem if you
knew you had certain number of spaces and there's a way to do it but it's almost trying to not incentivize because it's good to have it in writing what your plan is and then you have something easy to say this is our policy this is what we do and so I do have a question on
third paragraph um says if we need more staff that means we are adding Revenue truth but you're adding expense as well but you would have to add enough you would have to add enough students to offset the expense so you
figure every 15 kids um so you have to it would offset yeah what I'm trying to say is that we're not going to add staff just to add staff we're going to add staff because this is based on this current this past Summer's enrollment um
so if we say next summer our enrollment goes up um instead of 44 kids we have 54 kids we're going to need additional staff um so this is based on on the 44 kids that were enrolled this past year
and the Staffing is based on that as well but that would be something but with once these fees get set tonight within a week we will send enrollment um registrational out families be so we'll
know within a month what our enrollment is projected to be and then we can adjust accordingly well staff accordingly staff accordingly St is that is that a 10 to one Rao is that what's the what's the ratio is it 10 to one or 15 to can't hold term
to that because in the summer you have different hours and you have busier times than other times um and so we can't just flate say what we need one for kids right so you have to
have to go with the day and what are your heavy days and and they walk to the pool so you want extra people at that t i so okay how do we am do we amend amend no so so the main thing is to ask Amanda are you okay with the and you
recommended so I'm assuming and if so then Lindsay is do you is your second okay pay for going both of them five bucks okay so then I just I make the motion to amend the child care wave fees um to increase the part-time and
full-time by $5 a day each um so they're equal right that 35 so they both went up five bucks from they both go up five y they increase y second any questions or discussion okay all those in favor say I
