14
00:08:04.400 --> 00:08:19.680
update report they did share about some of the new laws that were passed legislation. And um one that they drew attention to was the implementation of using anonymous threat um reporting

15
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:45.240
system. And it's just great to know that for that information. Any questions or comments? >> Okay. District advisory uh committee curriculum director or meeting September. Is there any

16
00:08:48.000 --> 00:09:09.760
update at September? [laughter] Okay. Awesome. That covers our appointments. Moving on to governance facility and staff. We recommended the school board accept the recommendation of the school board committee to deny the April 6, 2026 agreements on June

17
00:09:09.760 --> 00:09:29.440
22nd, 2026. I motion second. Um letters included the link. Any questions? Discussion. All in favor approval of the recommendation say I.

18
00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:46.080
>> All post say nay. Motion carries. Operations resolution calling a special meeting. recommended the school board approve the resolution calling a special election to authorize the issuance of school

19
00:09:46.080 --> 00:10:04.240
building bonds and to approve a capital project le authorization as attached a motion a second motion has a second I will open up for discussion I'll turn it over to

20
00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:21.680
superintendent if you want to give us you you know, um, you operate the referendum back in May. And so that put a put a series of events in place for us to go to our bonding attorney and for elders and associates to give us all of the necessary steps to make sure we're

21
00:10:21.680 --> 00:10:37.920
following all the legal processes. So what you have for action tonight is the the culmination of those discussions to say how do we get that our question on the ballot. And so that's what we wereing in this resolution. I wanted to draw your

22
00:10:37.920 --> 00:10:53.680
attention to the ballot language that we have listed here on the screen. Again, this is November 3rd. Um, and again, most of us have voted before, so we've seen what this is going to look like, but when it's when it's specific to a school district, sometimes it's helpful to see what's being asked. We are

23
00:10:53.680 --> 00:11:10.079
putting uh in this authorization all of the building and facility projects that we talked about into one question. So I think that the idea here is this question really asks for what we think. And so what we have here is the high school

24
00:11:10.079 --> 00:11:26.959
building in the learning center that will come with the setting for the ELC building for a total of $350 million. There's some legal ease about the capital projects that's in here as well. So the 5.5 79% times tax capacity of the

25
00:11:26.959 --> 00:11:46.720
school district that can get really confusing to voters but it has to be in there because that is the legal description of the capital project. Really at the end of the day that total is $9 million of oper. So the buildings and the operating funds

26
00:11:46.720 --> 00:12:02.240
to go with it appear in this question and that's what this authorization is about in the action that's almost just to kind of add to that for our friends in the audience watching home. This is the legal terminology that we need to have. This is required. We

27
00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:17.200
are going to explain and break this down all of our meetings and understand how it affects you, how it affects your taxes and what it [clears throat] means in a very simplified term. So just understand that this is illegal terminology, but we will fully explain

28
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:35.839
and break this down over the coming months so that everybody can understand exactly how this would impact their taxes. With that, we'll entertain any additional questions or comments. >> Thank you. Um, I just wanted to say I'll

29
00:12:35.839 --> 00:12:51.600
be voting no tonight because I referendum, but while I understand this is a procedural vote, language. I don't want to create any confusion about where I stand. The majority of the board has already voted to place this question on the ballot and now the voters will have

30
00:12:51.600 --> 00:13:07.839
the final say. >> Thank you. Any additional questions or comments? All right. I will call the question to approve the resolution special meeting as previously stated. All in favor say I.

31
00:13:07.839 --> 00:13:23.600
>> All post say nay. >> Motion carries 51. All right, moving on to consent agenda. Is there any items board members would like pulled from the consent agenda? >> Hearing none, I would entertain a motion

32
00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:41.760
and a second to approve consent agenda. >> Director Weiss has a motion. H second. All in favor of approval of the consent agenda say I. >> All say nay. Motion carries. All right, board members, that brings us

33
00:13:41.760 --> 00:13:58.000
