question for Mr Jones um so 1.7 and 1.8 uh for the most part are these I don't want to use the word routine but are these routine things that need to be approved that aren really change every
year 1.7 uh no 1.7 is unique unique unique monies uh for an opportunity for teachers to get their student loan repayment program and number one uh resolution 1.8 uh we
because um we just want to make sure I say this right eliminated a position um we we needed to make sure that the the department of sports continued on so we
have a letter of agreement with uh the UTF to have support in this space okay but because we get we that position this had to had to occur okay that's what I'm getting at yes okay what was that the
only reason that so 1.8 because we got rid of that position 1.8 had to occur because of that decision we made last month that was my main question yeah yeah I'm sorry Sports must continue for kids right yeah thank
you Mr chair yes ma'am uh Mr Jones why is it why is this position only for six months uh because we are currently uh some of the work that in our consolidation and reorganization the work in the Community Education area
lies in UTF and in order for us to get that out into a director position so that the director will have not only sports but they'll have the Community Education piece we have to negotiate that with the UTF so we ask UTF for an
Loa for six months in hopes that the coming meetings we have with them we can get that rectified so that this position uh can be posted and we can begin interviews for it so the one part of it that's in UTF is the Community Education
piece and we have to negotiate that out now you TF is open to if we don't come to an agreement by the end of six months they are open to making it a full year I guess my ask is why don't you just make
it a full year because this this last part of the year you have a lot of holidays coming up especially November and December and then you got intersection so it's like will this person have ample time to to get what they need in place that's my
only reason for asking I would definitely consider that take that back all right thank you y any more discussion okay seeing no further discussion the motion to approve resolution 1.8 the letter of agreement competitive event scheduling Position
will be conducted by a roll call vote yall hear me now as I call your name please say yes or no to approve this motion Treasurer Luna yes trusty King yes trusty reliford yes trusty McIntyre yes secretary Perkins yes

high quality mile policies that have been developed in our research based they talk about things like board and meetings agendas agenda preparation board meeting procedures I won't go through all of them but it's just something I think if you had time to just to check out as we get more advanced and have better training things
we could consider in the future to be you know better how we function but that's it thank you okay any more Mr chair trusty Rel um I wasn't able to go with the board up north to was a gayer um and I was just wondering how did that
go and what did you guys learn or would you bring back I had to work so I I wasn't able to go um the the conference to Gaylord I thought was really informative and and
successful um just a lot of a lot of material um and a lot of you know input from you know the same faces that you you see at our um Regional uh Place uh one in particular
that I went to was the strategic planning summary um that I'd like to you know share with the board I brought back um some extra copies with me uh that maybe I can give to Pam so that we can have the you you probably all have it
it's just the CBA 251 um maybe if we can just look at it as a board um in our uh finance committee of the whole meeting maybe we could add it to as a component to to just kind of review um because I
know that we are um we were actually one of the school districts who was actually doing a strategic plan and doing it in the way that we were supposed to be doing it um and I'd like to continue that momentum um and continue the best
practices kudos to superintendent Jones um for representing us so well and so that I'm able to sit there and raise my hand at all the prompts and um but it's it's not like in the rearview mirror it's something that constantly has to be
done with checkups and we should have um you know monthly board meeting checkups and just kind of revise uh where we are with the Strategic plan and we should have a new strategic plan for the next year so just kind of a a a good reminder
for us um and yeah just you know hitting some of those Basic Finance things you know all the cbas you got to check to get your certifications um and it was I I love Gaylord so I was I
was super happy I'd rather be there than Las Vegas so um that's all good that's all I have to report if you have any questions feel free to reach out to me me um you know it's just our basic training so thank
you anyone else secretary PR yes I just want to give kudos to the superintendent and the administration uh Dr Joyce and I and Laura had been sitting in a lot of the
Preparatory meetings for the upcoming Community event which is going to be super this Saturday at Northwestern High School 2 to six we even have matine Cleaves come to speak to the youth um
there's a lot of violence that have been going on in the community and just maybe hearing from somebody with that caliber of uh prowess you know would be a good thing so um all the team has come
together I even went over to Northwestern the other day for the final run and it it looks like it's going to be a great time so that's all I got yeah so just to piggyback um we want to make sure that our general public uh
knows that there's resources that's going to be available this Saturday at Northwestern uh we had an opportunity today to speak to Ala uh some of the young men here and uh they're they're going to come out what we want is for our Scholars to come out and enjoy the
resources and the opportunity uh that we have for their families to come and uh eat free food take away resources supplies uh and even get some gift cards and different things of that nature but also be entertained so we want Grandma
to come we want Dad Mom to come uh we have shade we have water that will be there uh fill up stations uh restrooms will be available so we've we've pulled out all the stops for this event BCE houses bounce houses rock walls walls
yes so uh this is probably going to be the biggest opening uh that you'll see in Flint uh for a school district and we've spent uh we've been able to use our uh dollars wisely our grant dollars
wisely and have been uh given the goahead to do so from the state of Michigan so uh we're excited about this event I also want to let the board know that uh Flint Community Schools is growing uh we uh as of to dat our
enrollment is uh about 2,900 all right um enrolled uh we've been consistent with about over 2,000 coming every day um it hasn't been like that over the last couple of years so that is a good thing my enrollment department is saying
Mr Jones I think we're going to be busting out the seams well that's the purpose of all the work that this district has done uh UB board has done as it pertains to uh Renovations and approving uh items for us to move the district forward so we're excited about
that and uh we just want to keep things moving forward so thank you for for all you're doing TR King yeah uh I quickly will say that um I was recently appointed to the U Michigan Association School Board government Relations
