No, they're both gone for baseball. Just us four. Lynn said, "Well, at least that's what Lynn said when he text." Yeah. Hey everybody, rise for the pledge of allegiance.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation indivisible. Okay, good evening everybody. Board chair brought out for baseball. So
you have me today. So call to order the first meeting here or the Monday July 28th meeting and we are we still have a quorum brought and Hank Leven are gone for baseball
and we will go ahead and get a motion to approve the agenda tonight. Second. Okay. Any questions or comments on the agenda? Okay.
Motion carries. All right. All in favor, sorry. All in favoring the agenda tonight. I I All right. 5.0 is communication and reports finance update. Evening everybody.
Um just going to kind of go through this pretty quickly because we are at year end and it's subject to change with audit coming up. Um that starts August 11th for the district-wide audit and then the single audit will follow the week after that for our federal funds.
So just looking at our expenditures if you jump down to the second grouping um overall we are sitting at 262 over a thousand over budget. um we were potentially going to net at
zero, but we purchased some tech supplies, so that threw us over budget this year. So, it was we were pretty close. And then just also kind of jumping back to revenues because I made my notes backwards. Um we have not booked our receivable for yet this year. That'll come at audit with the closing
entries. Any questions on that page? So, you understand like the remember we came like with the tariff talk, we bought our computers and the what? So, for the most part, it looks fairly balanced, which is better than expected if everything holds true, which is
if everything holds true. Yeah. Yeah. And there is still a few expenses coming in. So, it it could subject to change. But, um, on the second page, just going to make note that food service came out better than we anticipated. So, I'm extremely happy about that. Um, I believe most expenses
have been booked for um that grouping. And then the construction fund. Um, we have 21,000 still sitting out there that we can use and I'm going to be moving that into some expenses into that. Mainly the water heater that we had to replace this
year. So that's all I had to really note on this page. Any questions there? Okay, jumping over to the treasures report. I just have two notes here. Um, the fund balance on the um community ed
has drastically changed this year. So we I'm hoping that we will be working its way out of the deficit by the end of next year. So um we're in the right trend for that. And then our cash position is up about 1.2 million over last year. And that's part partially
because of our um revenues increase from last year with increase in student enrollment. Those are the only two I need to know note there. And any questions overall? How much is community service and death? So
it's um it's well overall 2,000 but community ed itself is still 52,000 negative. So and again VPK helped a pretty good chunk there you know I mean there hasn't been major change in
you know other than the VPK programming you know. Okay thank you. Okay 5.2 two is administration and department head reports. Okay. Um just to update the update the whole group. Um we do have a ten
tenative agreement with the bus drivers and so um I actually just received this afternoon the um draft of language. Um and so we'll go through it assuming everything is it'll be on the up and up. It'll come to the board next time.
They're in the process also of taking it to their group to get approval. Um, we had our second meeting with the teachers group today and we're moving along. Um, chose not to have a closed session. I don't think we're quite there yet, but we have another meeting scheduled. Is it the 5th?
Yep. Yep. And then another one after that. So, we'll keep you in the loop. I'm guessing on the 11th we'll have a close session that we can speak more on where exactly we're at. Um, just a heads up tonight on the board. Um, and it's really the reason we had to have the meeting is we had to have our LTFM plan
approved. And again, that stuff's all coming from the facility committee from last year. It's just now is the formal time to put it in place. We will, now that Mike is on board, get some facility meetings scheduled. Um, we canled the last one when Ron left or whatever, but
it's it's set out. So, for instance, now when we start talking this year, we're planning already for ne, you know, the following year down the road. Um, I did give you a heads up um uh last time that working on a solar for schools grant. We're going to put it in. You're given
just a blanket. I just want to make sure everyone there's two rounds to funding. One is to put in like what's called a readiness assessment. So, I've been working with a solar provider. We're not locked into anything um to get kind of an array and a size and they're working on the payback now. We'll put that in.
If we're selected, then it comes to the board. We put an RFP out and you select a company and they actually help you write the round two grant and formally get approved. and then it still comes back to the board to you know approve or not. Um you know the hope and again they're working on the payback right now
that we'll just be honest that we can get a decent size array have 150,000 into it of our money and hopefully have a payback of two three years and then you're you're safe that's how the majority of them have worked recently.
Now you you can do a small 40KW array. It doesn't put much back. That's just mainly educational kind of what's like at uh South Point right now. It doesn't produce a lot. Um just being honest, you know, we're looking at a bigger array, putting it out in the field somewhere
there by um the middle school, you know, out there out of the way and hopefully offsetting some costs long term. But we'll see how it comes in. Um so anyway, it'll get put in. Um and we'll see if we get chosen or not. Um heads up on uh Nexus. Um things are moving. It kind of
delayed a little bit. Um Rob has had conversations I think with most of the principles. Even took some time. Jill was fortunate when she was leaving. She took some time even after she was done. Um met with Diane. She's uh or he's um meeting with uh Laura, the new community
ed. So he's having those conversations. But we have a lady here that's that's doing a um visual I forget the actual name but doing 3D rendering like video of all the schools every nook and cranny in the school right now. They started today. So that's part of the process
that we'll have um as part of our the portfolio when it's all said and done. So um they are moving and you know the next step is when staff more than just administration they'll do some groups with teachers with Farah's cooks as well as students you know to to get some
input you know and so keep moving um I did uh this morning send out um to the policy committee I'm just throwing some things um I don't remember if I had six or five six seven somewhere in there of policies coming up there's a handful
that I also sent I think Thursday or Friday last week that MSBA says we don't have to but I wanted you aware that when Nancy updates you know they're changing like a statute number you don't technically have to bring them back to the board you know or something like that but when we change the date that they've been updated I don't want
someone coming back going we never went through that so we we'll get this round done and then um hopefully like I say we can get them to the board for the first reading and then we'll I'll I'll have the other six or seven that are sitting there ready to go And other than that,
um, welcome back to the principles. Um, I mentioned to Lindsay and and other staff that started. I don't know when all the secretaries. I know one was in here, but I don't know if in other buildings if some are back, but not requiring any update, we'll talk about the fifth unless there's something any of you want to share. Um, Lindsay will
more than open, but I don't expect if there's something you want to share now, you're more than welcome to, but otherwise, welcome. And, um, we'll meet here soon. So questions n
and then 5.3 is committee reports. So other than like I say no we'll we'll get some facilities set up negotiations is going on the policy group like say if group wants to meet you know look over it's not the most exciting reading let me know what you want to do but
okay all right if so if there's no other reports okay 6.0 O. Um, I'll take a motion to approve the consent agenda. I'll move to approve. I'll second. All in favor?

I just have a few questions. Yep. What are the physical hazards that we're taking care of? Okay. So, there there's some blanket and I just got to find that. There's blanket amounts put in there for different things from Yeah. You know, like the roof thing. There's 10,000 if I recall right or whatever. Um, pull it out.
There's certain money that are sitting there just for like fixes or um fire extinguisher stuff that we have to do on an annual basis. So that same thing physical hazards if if we end up needing to fix something you know whatever like we we had the bleachers that got bent or whatever you
know become a safety well we got to fix so other than the major project the major project is the boiler for South Point right now new heights is being done CMS was done last year so that is the majority the rest is just kind of placeholders for
just so we have a budget more or less in place you know I mean if all of a sudden you you know take like the roof like right Now the roof on the senior high center is leaking. We're going to have to do something. We just think, you know, whether it cost five grand, at least there's something sitting. Okay, we're on 26 now. This is a year ahead,
but there's just some placeholders there. So, okay, there's nothing specific set out. Okay, that's all I had questions on. All right. And then So, do I still do I have a motion and a second. All in favor? Is this a roll call vote? We need
Yeah. Would you roll cover? Yeah. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Okay. All right. 9.0 is the payment of claims and accounts.
