second to approve um the revised agenda please motion approve second motion by Ken second by Patrick all those in favor signify by saying I I opposed motion passes we are going to go
on to the consent agenda um we do have one item to add to the consent agenda and why this is a tabletop item is because this um position was accepted on Friday in the morning um we are going to add a for
high school de of students Tera gone or Gan she will start the 24 25 school year with fully um she is an MA 30 step 17 and her wage is 91
to 64 and that is in your tabletop item so that item is going to be added to the consent agenda well M i' like to pull that and the reason being I talk about it a little I just read about it for the first
time well again we don't do any we hire one individual we hire the superintendent our administrator H so then the next time that we would have this item on the consent agenda is a July [Applause]
meeting I I just have two questions I can't ask this question no I'm not saying you can't ask it you're pulling it no so pulling it means we're not talking about it so you want to ask so we talk about it we don't talk about
it you have an opportunity to talk about things on the consent agenda without P okay okay so I won okay so we're going we have an item that we would like to ask a couple questions on please Dr har okay go ahead Ken okay I just looked at
this I didn't realize uh this seems like never been done before you hire something maybe they're very good but the ma plus 30 and step 17 I don't know if we've ever done that
before we have if you refer back to the F Master agreement the master agreement is when we hire a teacher we have to give them their steps and that's what we budgeted for in this particular position and the
candidate also has their administrative license that they're applying for so she does have that credits I just the the salary just seems at least to me ask for I think it was um one negotiation ago that we changed that
in the Fue contract so that we could attract individuals with more experience and such and we have hired others under that category I I assume she's very good that we hired our into integration um
specialist under that I do that so did you have one other question no that was just the step of the degree and salary I there three questions okay it it would be helpful too if we could if the board could see a
job description you replace it motion to approve the consent agenda second motions made by Patrick seconded by Stephanie all those in favor signify by saying I I have to use the
word consent agenda would you like to rise your motion uh motion to approve the revised consent agenda with the addition of the fully High School de students okay motion is made Patrick second seconded
by St all those in favor signify by saying I I opposed motion passes uh we have a resolution for a general election relating to the election of school board members and following the school district general
election and that is on page 83 of the packet so do we want to discuss this at all this is a kind of a routine thing on um elections for board members so it's just a resolution that
we're taking the steps to get things in line with u ballots Etc is that correct that is correct okay so I would need a motion and a second motion to
approve second motion by Patrick seconded by Stephanie and we're going to do a roll call vote so Ken yes Stephanie yes Sharon yes Patrick yes and I
yes moving on um discussion action item is lead in water management plan um Dr Perry do you want to go through that just briefly with us I can um this is an indicated um plan
that we need to have and the study the plan was completed by resource training and solutions and we found that our water is safe to drink so everything was clear um per Darwin so the next time that you will see this is in five
years okay and I'm thinking that this is a routine um it's just a plan yeah yeah it's just a plan just so the board acknowledges and passes that you've seen the plan okay thank you and I would need a motion
and a second on Le management [Music] plan motion by Stephanie seconded by Sharon all those in favor signified by saying I I opposed motion
passes and we are going to discuss 20 the 2425 athletic fees Mr in yeah Madam chair do you want to jump in I I will sorry about that um one of the things that we had talked about in
our finance committee was an increase in fees for activities and the fee increase that we are recommending is $20 and I believe Mr elas you gathered quite a bit of data that you may share with the board if the board so chooses
to hear that information yeah I actually I met with all of the grant rge conference activities directors there just have them fill out what they are charging for their activity fees um the $20 increase would bring us even with Albany Little
Falls um and peat we' be more expensive than peers and less expensive uh than Cathedral and then Mala has a little bit different Char per activity so they're a little bit different they range from $100 to
$150 and we'd be at 110 with a $20 increase uh I know that activties hasn't been touched in many many years um and I know that just each year associations for officials Transportation cost
supplies all of those have just increase uh and we haven't done anything on our necessarily to to to combat that so I think a minimal $20 increase would would help uh offset some of those additional costs that we're recurring just from
people charging more if I just me add one more thing as well is you we looked at the $20 fee because we don't want to increase fees every single year so it's important to do it one time and then we look at this
probably 3 to 5 years down the road at a minimum and it's fair to say we worth always saying in public that obviously if there's a family has trouble with these fees that there are methods and things so everyone is still able to participate
no matter what absolutely well free and reduced lunch um determines that would still be that is one way but we also look if there's a family that's a need we would never turn away a child from an
opportunity to partip but I mean one of them automatically goes into effect the other you might if families complete the educational benefits for under Provisions also for the number of children uh as far as I a cap two or
three or four in the family I don't think we have family camp at this point in time um there are some districts that do um we are we don't Curr have that structure in place at we something we can definitely take a
look at if there's a there's a set number you know that sometimes if you have a family and you have three or four kids it's could be very expensive I think we need to look harder at the athletic fees exactly how much is the increase in cost versus the um
income we need to see the numbers and discuss them um like for example um coaching has gotten more expensive so has referees very much harder to find is my understanding
um and uh just today I saw where districts were cutting three to five games for all its varsity and junior varsity schedules except for football because of the money
crunch um you know every part of the system should share in this um I just like to see the numbers laid out how much we think we would have coming in and how much extra would be going out
for the the the next year or two because we don't well it's probably hard to determine because we don't have um enrollment in sports right now you could do a projection based on participation numbers over the last few years um last
year in activities we had just over, participants throughout the year um so you know check M on that a $20 increase would be $20,000 increase on our end the activity budget OPP cost um can you also
speak to that I know that you have the projection as well um basically there's I don't think in any sport we're making more money than what's going out oh yeah we know that so like I don't yeah on
that even increasing it we still wouldn't are you thinking $20 is not enough I just want to know how far the $20 is going to take us how many years did he did he did you say since we did did this it's I don't
remember I think probably closer to 15 but I guess I don't know I IAL I talked to the previous activties director who had been in the position for five years and he and very tender never I know it went through Darren and
bar said he would never have activity fees Steve followed him or do we charge more for a certain sport many many districts most District C they do cost more they charge more for football we do charge
more for football and for trap shooting at the moment those are the two that we charge more for because ones the larg expenses I just thought we never have a kid that can't play sports because they can't afford it that would be me
tragedy well we discussed that I I guess my thought is at this point you know um especially in the town of fley with the Wastewater project has really increased a lot of famili tax burden there um I
think $20 is a good place to be for you know for let's say 3 years um because I I guess kind of thinking on the other hand of what the other increased costs family are families are going through and more to Ken's point you know you have a family of three or four well I
have a family of three or four um and yeah it it can add up quickly and um I know there's families out there that have far more children than than mine um you know I'm I'm cool paying whatever you know for my kids and happy to do it
but um I'm fortunate I'm able to currently at this stage in my life but there could easily come a day I'm not able to uh so I guess I also feel like a $20 increase is doing something and as far as far as going more I would be against
going more because I look up at our values and I think kindness kind of gives us a ceiling there when thinking of those other families and I think maybe we should look at number of students but I think like to Patrick's Point need to start
somewhere but we need to absorb some of that cost everything is going up and some I mean the money needs to come from somewhere so I think $20 is a safe place to start because if we did all the numbers and realized that we should actually be charging $50 more per activity that's a harder blow than the
$20 and it's something we can always revisit down the road as far as like and and we can even say you know as we talk about goal setting for our next year or two doing more of a a data crunch on this very issue to say what should our
activity spe be what is our what would be the best activity model for our district going forward and and and really dig down so I I agree that we we don't have a lot like all the best information today but with the information we have this is probably the
best choice we can make but I also think that it's fair to say that this shouldn't be it this shouldn't be the end of the conversation I think let's talk about it with our goal study let's take some time to do that study like we do any other issue and come up with what would be the best fit plan for our
district and I also would like you mentioned for 3 years so I wouldn't like to lock Us in um with the three-year motion or anything like that and so if someone were to make a motion on the um advised $20 increase and then further
discussion I think that's fair for us to do this evening I'll make a motion that we do the $20 increase for now and and have a discussion about the whole parameter of
it at a later date motion has been made by Sharon and seconded by Ken all those in favor signify by saying I I opposed motion
passes uh we have the 2023 to 25 educational assistance contract Aon or Dr Perry you want to go through that with us I will Kelly you is it on the screen I I'm bringing on the um
summaries okay perfect um for educational assistance as you were aware we were in mediation and mediation went quite well um on May 31st and we agreed to a 4% increase on year 1 and a 3.5%
increase and some other highlights we did not increase um health insurance on year one but we did increase by $11,000 on year two so the total insurance package for educational assistance is um $88,000 and we also saw an increase in
longevity from what um we understand from the union one of the co- Union presidents is that the union has voted for um they ratified they had their vote and it was a unanimous um vot in support of the
contract what is the total um [Music] percentage um Erin can you help with that I think it's [Music] 9 three 9.36 I believe
[Music] 9.55% thank you all right I need a motion and a second to accept the educational assistance contract motion to approve second motions made by Patrick seconded by Kent all those in favor
signify by saying I I opposed motion passes we will move on to the 2325 individual contracts and those that we are going to um have discussion on would be
technology coordinator technology integrationist and Communications specialist and these um summaries were um available to board members on Thursday and um to coincide with how the individual
contracts were explained at the the last meeting um we have Dr Perry to go over those in so I hope we following your order from my paper so we're going to start with the technology coordinator first and on year one and year two um both
years were a 4% increase and again that's an additional workload since we had a reduction in technology and health insurance had maintained and because this employee is a 260-day
um employee we added um juneth as a holiday Madam chair would you like me to go over each one individually now or do you want to vote on each one how would you like to do that um I think we can just vote on each
one okay so I'll wait then all right so I need a motion in a second on technology coordinator motion to approve and I will second all those in favor of Technology
coordinator um contract indicate by saying I I opposed motion passes we'll move on to technology integrationist um that is a position that's been eliminated and we did feel
um as a negotiations commit to still honor the work of that employee so on Year One this year is a 3% increase and I believe we also added juneth as a holiday what is the last day of that
contract June um June 30th thank [Applause] you all right I need a motion and a second on technology integrationist second made by Stephanie seconded by Patrick
all those in favor signified by saying I I opposed motion passes and we're moving on to communication specialist communication specialist and
year 1 it's a 3% increase year two 3% increase and we also added as a cell phone sapen due to the nature of the communication specialist's position of $600 and I would need a motion and a second for the communication

with IEPs from school grounds and policy 611 which is our homeschooling policy is there any discussion regarding those policies hearing none we will move on to our 2023 2024 final Revis budet budget
presentation and um Miss NASA please all right um if you just take a look at your the revised budget that I had given you just show us how where we started the year in on July 1st of 2023 um we started with our general fund
with of a fund balance of 3,749 153 and you can see that I broke out um the Student Activity account we have it going to a it goes to a different fund but technically it's part of fund one but it's never been broken
out for you before so I just wanted to show you that we have $2,761 designated for Student Activities of the general fund uh budgeted revenues we if you add
those two together we are at$ 2,528 122 expenses are at $26 m655 leaving us with a deficit of a total 537,500 weren't budgeted for
previously and I didn't have any more data than just what I could find in our budget currently so I did my best at that time to estimate what those expenses would be those turned out turned out to be um a lot more Revenue
than I had anticipated as well as after I made that revised budget they had the state increased our sub uh special ed cross Subs by over um 315 by about
$315,000 so that was not in the initial initial Revenue projection I also added back in about $40,000 for our student support Personnel Aid because originally when we had discussed it we couldn't find a way to spend that money so I didn't budget
for it um the other big thing that affected the revenue was interest our interest earning currently are um set at $255,000 and in the Revis budget it was only at
$100,000 um if you remember in January we were still not caught up on bankrupts so I didn't have that data in front of me and then in regards to expenses I know Dr Perry has done a
really good job of making sure that we stayed within our means there wasn't any excess puring um and we just really started as soon as we talked about it and had all of our conversations we really kind of put a a hold on all of our extra spending um if
you keep so now I'll move on to the Food Service fund Food Service fund started with a $938,000 fund balance we budgeted revenues for 1,883 327 expenses 1,777
743 leaving us with a surplus of $5,5833 1866 community service fund we started out with a fund balance of $ 69,6 25 budgeted revenues are $367 and then projected to have a
negative fund balance of 4,742 and the main cause for that is preschool and preschool is a fee based program we do not get enough aid to cover that and we are required to have
licensed individuals teaching that program so we just can't come ahead because we have licensed very highly qualified teachers it's just the cost is just more than what we bring in for Revenue
unfortunately uh the construction fund is just fund six where we have some construction um interest in there we started with $9,844 we've gained some interest of $4,371 balance of
63,9 185 our debt Redemption fund is the fund uh the revenue that we receive to make our debt payments Deb service payment custodial fund this I don't believe was ever reported on before in the past that is actually all of our
scholarships um looking back multiple years it looks like we never budgeted for that but I was always told by an auditor that they needed a budget so I created a budget and what I tend to do with that budget is get as close if I see Revenue coming in for a scholarship
the likelihood of that money going out is very likely so I got it as cost as I could um and then the OPB trust fund where we pay out retiree funds um just still leaving us with 2,825
621 to pay retire costs and we get interest on that old T trust right correct and I'll have a better updated number for you at your end when all of that's accounted for there's still a lot of moving pieces before year end is done
year end or calendar year end well by the time we're closing our stuff we'll have more I'll have more information as well I was asking for clarification for the public those are always past quarter I mean they always give you the results we
past um I are you through I have a couple of questions otherwise I'm going to wait till you're done and nope I was just going to say that I budgeted with uh 1,855 amm um that's the number I use for all of our revenues and it was this year
ended up being uh salaries and benefits was 6% more than it cost last year and just yeah just the other note was just the Student Activities and scholarships I put on here for you guys to see because that does come our budget I want you guys to see
that are you open to questions okay so um even with our cost containments and there budget we are still in deficit spending for this year and next year
correct okay Student Activity you separated that out I don't ever really recall seeing that separated so is that to Shannon's Point what she wanted like we're 30 no this Student Activity is the Student Activities that
are run by the um students themselves oh those are like their fundraising efforts for bball they're trying to raise money for new equipment or whatever that's or something like that yes that's all handled by the students themselves
that's technically their funds the board just overse it and then um the 40,000 that um you did not budget for because you couldn't determine a way to spend it have we spent now we will this
we will and to Ken's point I'm sorry you're going to interrupt but the money that we budgeted for the dean if you recall that was kind of all that surprise money that we put together to fund the position and so the student support Personnel Aid we had more clarification from the state on how we
could use that money and how we could code um compared to what it had been that the fund had been um created because of of co uh the state had said that you hired um a counselor or um
support staff a counselor um you could use that to help support School social workers another example we didn't do that during Co and a lot of school districts did add around the state so that money just sat for many people and that was one of the
changes in the legislative session so that's why we're able to code um the dean the high school dean that's a huge portion of that salary is 4 ,000 is that one time money no and actually we can carry that money over Becky another change that we
can [Music] over um I want to say that first of all thank you for your hard work um you know when we hear uh there's been an accounting error you know it's kind of like we playing Monopoly you get the bank are your favor card we're still at
the deficit uh obviously things are still serious but um this is a welcome version of that um Bank care and so speak in your favor so I want to say thank you for that and um you know we
we're not out of the woods yet by imagination but welcome you still are there any other questions for Aon regarding um the revised budget [Applause]
need a motion and a second motion to approve and I will second it motion is made by Patrick second it by myself all those in favor signify by
saying I I opposed motion passes and we have a presentation on Cost Containment for our 2425 school year Kelly can you let me know when it's on the [Music]
screen so this was also included in your board packet and we wanted to show just a summary of Where the um reductions had occurred by department so that is in in front of you and and you notice the the bottom um amount is a little over a
million dollars and again as one of the goals of the board is to look at efficiency so that's part of this but we're also planning for the future and I believe that Miss NASA in her next presentation will talk about um projections for deficit spending um for
fiscal year 25 but these are all things that we've discussed a number of times um at the board table and through committees as well we are working on getting it on the here we have it in our packet but
okay sorry about that I thought you had it K I think it's available on the back table too for people that are there to look at okay so far I don't have anything additional to add to what I just
said all right so this is um for information only and this this is the Cost Containment report or presentation as you will note and um these items have
all been processed through the board at this point and as was discussed at the last meeting um this is June so this was our time to go through this um based upon all the
meetings that we had to take care of this business that that is correct um we have discussed this in committee we've discussed it at the board um table as well I think people were yearing for what was the total list um and where the
reductions were happening and if you also notice that I looked um the the sheet in front of you is regarding position not person and we we're sharing this now because we had some changes um as we were working through um the
legislative session when we were able to um use money in in different ways and so this is our final the final list for reductions and um at our previous meetings we had a community meeting um
that was put on for community and it was um kind of a 1.2 million was our prediction and we've come in at 1 mil 15,300 so little bit less and and I think what's
important I don't want to steal your thunder gon on your next presentation um but I think what's important is that these are significant um this year but that will help us as we move forward into the next um fiscal year as
well and I think as Erin had talked about just with not having um a full picture of what the budget had been it was really hard to determine accurately um due to some of the missing factors that she had explained in her
[Music] presentation all right does the board have any questions for Dr Perry or or Miss Nosa regarding the Cost Containment so Cost Containment you mean these are Cuts yes we've already out done all
this hearing no questions um we can move on then to the 2425 adopted budget and that would be as well right I am so sorry I see that that
first number did not transfer over the fund balance uh on the general fund it should be that 3.2 million 2 42519 there I apologize for that so basically you look the fund
balance of all the different funds are or are the should be the same as the projected fund balance um budgeted revenues for fiscal year 25 those total those two numbers there with the Student Activity account totals
2,664 1890 budgeted expenses is $26 m970 leaving us as with a deficit of $344,000 bringing our projected fund balance down to 2,
85244 plus the $992,000 in the Student Activity account um some of the things that we did for fiscal year 25 that helped save some uh costs to the district obvious size the
cuts that we had made um instead of purchasing two new buses with capital dollars we are now going to lease two new buses saving us uh we're going to be spending roughly $60,000 for the next 5 years $60,000 a
year over five years versus over $150,000 up front we are also going to lease our technology meaning our um student computers uh this way it was uh 7 if we
would were to purchase all of the equipment up front it would be over $720,000 but we're going to be leasing over four years at a cost of $185,000 each year um so by leasing those two new buses that will also help to save and
repair maintenance cost in the bus garage and then salary and benefits increase over fiscal year 24 was a 3% increase the Food Service fund continues to do well with budgeted revenues of
1,885 727 expenses 1,793 284 um leading us with a surplus of $92,400 community service fund again continues
to struggle with the um fee bed programs and the salaries increases Contin salary increases construction fund is the same there's I'm sure there will be interest but I'm looking to clean that I would like to clean that up in school year 25
and just get done be done with that um debt Redemption fund budgeted the $1.6 million again those are just that's just money that we receive to make our Aid or Debt Service payments and then the cust fund the
scholarships again $155,000 in Revenue budgeted expenses 10,500 again that could be more could be less um just depends what we get for scholarships that year and then the opep trust again I know we are expected to
spend there is some expense um for retirees next year as well so leaving us overall with a um deficit in all in all funds of $398,000 that you mentioned um is in our
budget that is not ours to spend that is spoken for that is Student Activities that's that's where then they have to decide they decide how to spend correct okay just clarify yes does anyone have any questions
for Aaron NOA regarding the um 2425 adopted budget so looks like the deficit may be headed in the right direction next year but most likely there'll have to be another containment effort next year is
that fair to say possibly um depends on yeah it depends yeah I but I did also I forgot to mention that I used um 1,836 students as our ADM projection so again it's one of those things that we just have to keep our eye on
um and yeah go from go from there it's just again I'll try I'm going to do a revised budget in January right and I'll have all of my data to look at so I won't be sifting through everybody else
you know it shouldn't be as difficult this time um to have accurate information so um that will give us a better Outlook and we'll be maintaining watching it very closely throughout the year and we do know our enrollment a lot
better in October yes I just want to say that because I I I always want to caution uh public or anyone that watches the video later you know we just saw the containment efforts in this pasture you know in a perfect world that would be all we have to do but we don't live in a
perfect world so it may have to happen again um and so I'd rather people not be surprised or anything at some point if that day comes again I did forget to mention too that
reminded me of we had mentioned we were going to cut some EAS um however I did add back in about half of those EAS they are in this budget because we knew that we would have to bring some back and I want to be
a little more conservative so I budgeted for half of them coming back but again that's something that we see the as the need arises thank you so I a need a motion and a second on
the 2425 adopted budget motion to accept it's okay motions made by Patrick seconded by Stephanie all those in favor signifi by saying I I
opposed motion pass do we have a budget enrollment report I have a budget report but not have of course okay so as of the end of May it looks
like our general fund has exp spended 2,295 31112 you're going to see a big jump in the June um budget because we've done all our for all of our staff for teachers
summ over summer food service we've expended 1,585 31 Community Services spent 84887 building fund that's our that's year to dat expenditures of1
m618 debt Redemption um Student Activities they've spent $129,500 in scholarships leaving us with spending 25,5 3,565 127 in Revenue you can see overall total
we've received 2,665 51 from all funds however just in the general fund we've received 20,9 51377 again these numbers will change because there's moving money for the
levy and to recognize all of that stuff that all happens this summer at this time last year for expenditures overall we had spent a total of$ 23,9 126 92686 General was at
19875 54 this time last year and revenues was 20 was 20, 279,000 have any questions for Aon regarding um the budget report okay we will continue on with
