driver situation I think handled too. So yeah, we're pretty much tapped. Yeah. And there's no the open vac. All right, we have a motion and second. Is there any further discussion?
Hearing none. All those in favor signify by saying I. I. All those opposing signs 4.0 public comment was oh it really soft. It's really really
not seeing any public comments. So we will move on. Uh so our next uh item on the agenda with things under is 7.0 reports. So we will start with our elementary principal report. uh
a short report enrolling today. Our numbers are out as of August 13th. Uh for K through six, we're at 297. So that's basically down one student from last May, but there's still time
before the school year starts up. So just in the last week, like I've said, other years of this August meeting, it's back and forth it seems like. Um, but I that's where we're at as of August 13th. That's where we're at as of today, too.
So, we'll get you update on enrollment. Uh, any questions on enrollment? Since the end of last school year, our fourth grade has gone up eight students. Is that reading that right? Oh, that's the year next they move it over. So, they're down.
We were up two students. Up two students. Okay. I was reading that wrong. We I move everybody up a year. Gotcha. Item number two and that'll that's part of the agenda in 8.1 I think is inservice schedule. So you get an
opportunity to see that. Item number three meetings and trainings. This has been a lot. I'm probably missing some but just kind of a heads up what we've had. August 13th we attended admin attended an ASIC meeting in Erskin. August 15th, we had a truency
meeting with Pope County. Uh August 19th, now that has been changed. The date now that we're looking at is August 26th for a ministerial meeting. Uh August 20th, we started a readact training and that is set. That will
begin at 8:00 on August 20th at the elementary. And then August 21st, uh our sixth grade, we're implementing uh big ideas map and you in sixth grade. We're doing a pilot. So this year in the sixth grade we will not have CP in math.
So we have a initial implementation training on on Thursday and then along with that we have a group support staff orientation. So we'll be calling in our non support staff our new hires in for orientation that afternoon from 12:30 to
3:30. Um forgot four. uh building grounds. Again, just a thank you to our custodial staff. Um the grounds and with inside the building too. So the building has come together.
Um everything looks great for wax and a little more moving with classrooms and teachers moving and programs coming to the elementary. other that's added a little more work obviously and it's taking a little bit more time but we'll be up and
ready to go uh for August 27th which is our open house so awesome any questions thank you 7.2 high school principal report Mr. Gerski.
Yep. Starting out with attendance. See, we finished off the month of May at 249 and when I created my report, we were at 259. So, we're at plus 10. Uh, in high school, as of late, there's uh been a request for records for two from the
high school. So, we're at like plus eight. Um, some of these students are returning students that have either, you know, tried going online, went different, things like that. Uh we do have a couple that are brand new to the
district as well. So, but yeah, as of today, I would say we're plus eight at the high school. Uh my report's very similar to Dan's. Again, want to thank James and his staff for getting their building ready. Um
when you walk in here, regardless of the time of the day, his staff is uh working very hard, very diligent what they do. So, um, kind of the same thing. I've been meeting with various stakeholders throughout the last couple of weeks regarding individual
P County, as Dan mentioned, we met last week with regards to truency and then also ASAC. Um, we had our administrators meeting last last week on the 13th just to kind
of give us a little bit of an update on some of the assignment changes that are happening throughout the uh inscript. Um, and again, new staff orientation have that on the 20th of this week, uh,
12:30 to 3. So we'll have of course two people there from the high school as far as our new staff are concerned. And then some of the building safety update we're meeting tomorrow is our district crisis team. Uh so that means we're bringing in our uh representatives
from law enforcement, first responders on just kind of bringing them up to date on the E3 uh notification system and the again just kind of refresher on the love you guys terminology. And lastly, we have our concept for the
August 27th. Any other questions? All right. Thank you. 7.3 Superintendent Report. It's a little bit redundant uh with the with the two principles as well, but uh um I always like to put in little slang words, you know, to have
you notice that in my reports. It's go time around here. Um no question about it. And uh um there's just a lot happening. Um we're seeing staff coming around as you know that staff are required between August 1st and August 25th to put in a floating inservice day.
Um and so many of the those have done that or are doing that uh this last week and this week. Um Tom Wesley was actually one of the gentle or was the gentleman sitting over here in the corner, the architect that IC has um engaged with and um he was part of the
group that from IC that walked the building last week. Um, I actually caught him at Hugo's grocery store that evening as he was leaving town and and uh he just said, you know, there was um there's some concerns of course he has
um with the 33 33 or 37. I didn't I know it. I don't know why I said that. Um but he's also encouraged by some of the other things that he saw too. So, um um I think this process that we engaged with tonight will start to
bring some of that forward. Um we open up bids on Tuesday and we had a number of bids u quite different from the past. Um there's some competition out there right now and you'll get chances or they're in your packet as well. So, we'll get a chance to move through those. Um but really interesting to see
the multiple bids that we got for some of the different projects that we have going on. Um had an admin meeting last week. Um, uh, and what that group is is Dan and Don, our two principles, of course, Ryan, our activities director,
Steve, our tech director, April, our business manager, and Maddie, our HR director. That is going to be the core group of administrators when we have administrative meetings. Those are the people that I go to um for answers, for support, for for ideas, for everything.
So, um this group um will be a little bit it'll be a little bit more um predictable and um and a little bit um more often that we'll this group will be meeting and we covered a myriad of of items at the meeting and we'll continue
to do that throughout the year. Fall sports started a week ago today. Uh right now we're undefeated in the whole season. So, it's been a good start so far. Uh echoing what Dan and Don said about um our custodial staff, James and
his crew, our buildings look very good, lots of shiny floors, and we had negotiations last Thursday um with the teacher group. Our first meeting u didn't talk any numbers per se, but did some had some language items that um that the teacher group brought forward.
I don't know if our negotiations um committee will report on that later. That's my report. Any questions for Mr. Silk? All right. Thank you. Yep.
Moving into 8.0 personnel 8.1. Uh the 2025 fall inservice schedule. It is in front of you. I'm going to ask Dan just to maybe highlight some of the pieces there. Um Dan is the kind of the keeper of this document. So we'll let him take the floor. Yeah. And some of these dates will be
repetitive, but if you look from top to bottom like Mr. yourself had mentioned August 1st through the 24th is a flex floating day. Seven hours of individual work time for the teachers. So they report to the building principles when they complete that time. August 20th is
new teacher orientation. August 21st support staff orientation. Uh and then Monday, August 25th, and this is for all district staff. Uh there'll be an all district breakfast in the high school cafeteria. Again, that'll be at 8:00. And you can see from
the agenda what will take place during that time. Starting at 9:00, there'll be an introduction of new staff, presentation from Justin Marcus on behalf of the FEF, Boston Education Foundation. Uh Mr. Sulk will address the school
district. Um the rest of the afternoon uh is set up. We have elementary and high school staff move meetings that we'll need. We're going to change that because we have another week that will have to take place of that. So, Don and I will work
on rescheduling those staff meetings and then in the afternoon prepare their rooms, work in the rooms. Tuesday is staff development day. That's where we have the IC listening sessions and also Dawn organized Amy Moy to pres present
to our pair professionals uh starting at 8:30 to 10:45. Um she has a couple of sessions before lunch um and then in the afternoon kind of the nuts and bolts things that staff
complete before we start school in session and some of those things are then Wednesday basically prep for open house. So a lot of time for our teachers to a lot of things that need to be done not
only physically but electronically too. So, and just so I know, you're invited to any and all of it. Um, certainly you're invited Monday morning for breakfast. Would love to have you. Um, and I'm sure you'll be sitting on the edge of your
seat for the my presentation that actually blocked off the whole day. Have you? Yeah. Yeah. Well, we put it up against lunch so that uh I can go as long as I need to. Yeah. No, but just know that you're certainly invited to any and all of all
of the inservice. Any questions or comments on the fall schedule? All in service. All right. Uh 8.2 approve not approve theou for out of field placement.
We have Do we have I do have multiple copies. I only have three. Yeah. Yep. Little communication snap. So,
you want to come back? We could do that if you're fine with that. Yep. We come back to it. We're gonna Huh? Well, we're going to get copies. Yeah, we'll uh it tweaked a little bit, Dean, from what you had. Anyway, yeah,
we'll press pause on that one, move on, and we'll come back as soon as we have copies to look at for table it and then take it off the table. I think we just come back to it. We don't need to be that. Don't know. Okay, we go to 9.1. Okay.
All right. 9.1. Uh, approve not approve request to attend the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana on October 28th through November 1st. Don, any comment about that? detail.
We've been doing it now for three years for sure. Four. Four. Yeah. So, we just look for approval because they they they go out of state. We have board approval. Yeah. for a year notice if they go out of
country. I don't know. I don't know that. I was just thinking as far as like this Spanish Spanish trips like that, it's usually a year. So I'm just wondering if
it's I think she does it way so you can pay your 12 months versus whatever. Yeah, I think it was the same thing for that um
Washington DC trip was the same because of the fundraising for the multiple months of payment plan. I'm not sure there's a written there is a written policy as far as number of months ahead of
schedule specifically called that out specifically calls for approval. Yeah. Y I don't think it clarifies a time prior to the trip. No, no. The fundraising or
the the the host, the trip organizer drives that desire to have it early more so than the school district. Y should finish 9.1. Yeah. Okay.
So, be looking for a motion. um for approval of for the FFA um convention. All right, we have a motion and a second. Is there any further discussion?
Don, is there Oh, go ahead. Just for information, I know they had reached out to the alumni for um just financial support done and stuff. So the the alumni is just waiting to hear back numbers and she doesn't have those yet.
Is there a school district or um like ratio of chaperones to students that we kind of have set for that? 10 to one. Yeah. Depending on activity and age
student. Okay. just heard multiple reports years now that how big this convention is and yeah it's thousands of kids thousands and thousands of kids I think they work in conjunction with another at least one other district too
as far as sharing the bus there maybe three they do have a chapter that usually goes but okay any further discussion all All right, hearing none. All those in favor signify by saying I. I.
All those opposed, same sign. Motion carries. All right, we will jump back up to 8.2. Um, so be approved, not approved theou for out of field placement. Um, there's document in front of you. Yeah. Yep. Thank you. Um, so we've talked
about this a couple of times in work session in a um um personnel committee meeting. Uh we've talked about this and now we're bringing it before the board for formal approval of a memorandum of understanding between the fost education association and fat
public schools um for one of the fost education associations member particularly Jonathan Halber as you recall we have made when we did some realignment of the staffing at the elementary level it prompted us to
reassign Mr. Halber to teach mathematics at the high school level. 7th, 8th, and 9th grade is what his assignment will be. He is certified as a K8 math teacher. So, in order to teach grade nine math, he needs an autofield
placement. Um we believe um the education association and the personnel committee and myself as as district superintendent that this is a different kind of out of field placement versus someone that would apply from the start
for a position that they're not certified for. Mr. Halber has been uh he's a tenure teacher in our system hired to teach sixth grade when he was hired. Now, we're asking him for the to the benefit of the district to step outside of his certification and help us
by teaching math. We believe that that deserves a stipen and the agreed upon stipen between the education association and the personnel committee was equal to 112th no 12% of BA step one of our of
our um master agreement master teacher contract that of course will change annually and with that then that calculation will change as well that calculation is the same as a teacher overload um for um any of our staff that
teach an extra class period per day. Um so with that, the memorandum of understanding is before you. This was crafted by our legal team. Um and we just asked them to make a few tweaks at the end but basically it says therefore
mutually agreed upon and understood that during this school year only. This is a one-year and it's a specific to this individual shall be provided additional uh stipen in the amount of $5,64 paid out over 24 pay periods as he would be paid out his regular and customary
pay. the parties agreement uh this arrangement is excuse me the parties agree this arrangement is specific to the unique circumstances surrounding the needs of the district and I think that's important it's the need of the district that is driving this is non-binding non-precedented setting for future
teaching assignments um and that um um that this sunsets after year um there is some discussion about whether or not this would get negotiated into the master agreement that has not been decided yet. Um that
will be part of the negotiations process or not. Um and should we need should it not make it there and we would need to use it again in the future, we would have another memorandum of understanding. That's a lot of rambling makes sense to
everyone or any questions for me on that. If not, we'd be looking uh administrative recommendation would be approve this make a motion to approve under standing. All right, we have a motion and a
second. Is there any further discussion hearing? None. All those in favor signify by saying I. I all those post same excuse me thank you moving down to 10 point oh operational 10.1 approved not approved milk bread
fuel snow removal bids for the 2526 school year so breaking that down even further 10.1.1 um milk bid looks like prairie farms so in front of you you have a summary sheet of the bids as well as the
individual bids themselves. Um, and as Sher Oler just stated, um, we only have one bid for milk and that is from Perry Farms, but we would be seeking I don't know how you want to do it, chair, if you want to
get all um into one motion or do you want an individual motion for each one? I feel like the first three could probably we could probably call for in one but okay the fourth one has options. Yeah, true. So probably that one.
So take a minute to look through I guess but the 10.1 uh milk we have a Prairie Farms bid. 10.1.2 two, we have our bread bid from Panold and 10.1.3
is our fuel from Pure Oil. Can I speak to the other ones? Yeah. For the bread bid, we have um just um Pana Gold. Do they have another name besides Pan Gold? Is that their only name? That's their only name. Last year we had
a couple bids for them. We had a couple bread bids, but this year we only had the one. You can see we put this out. They filled it all in for the different types of um bread products that we would be purchasing on behalf of
our food service program. Can I ask I don't remember um did you compare these numbers to last year pretty much the same exactly? I did not. Um
I guess given it was the only only bid. Yeah. I didn't I guess I did not compare to last year. So I don't know that we bid similarly you know these different products. Mhm. But but how they compared to a year ago
I guess I don't know. That's a fair question though. We can find that information out and provide that as well. For the fuel there was no and I have a call into um
Can we talk about that? Is that okay? Yep. Um so we believed we would get a bid from Orton's and we did not which was surprising. Um I did talk to one of the Orton gentlemen with the last name of Orton
mid July and explain to him that we would be going out for bid shortly. This is prior to our July board meeting. Then at the July board meeting when you authorized calling for bids. Um we actually sent to the Walker office a request for
bid uh with all the paperwork. Correct. Yes. Yep. Um, and Tuesday came and went and we didn't get a bit. Yep. I was just curious. Yeah. Yeah. Cuz he when when I talked to him,
he was he seemed aware of it because he said he'd had conversation with Lepi about that their station might be more desirable because there's more space and and I anticipated that we would get a bid, but we did not. Yep.
Thank you. Yep. And the LAR bid is very similar to what we've done in the past. Bid remember from last year. Very similar. Yep. I guess the only option would be is if we did not accept
the fuel bid and and rebid it. That's an option if we wanted to do that. I looked up the bids for if you want that. Yeah. Where are we at? Up. Up except for the 24 count is still at
560. Things are store up more than that. Good thing we're not buying eggs. Well, they're down a little bit. A motion to approve 101.1 Farms. One by one. No, we
we can lump one, two, and three together. The individual. You want to do them individual? Scott wants to do them individual. He wants to wants to make this meeting go a little longer. Okay. All right. We have a motion and a second uh for approval for the milk bid. Is
there any further discussion? Hearing none. All those in favor signify by saying I. All those post same sign that motion carries. Temple 1.2 red. All right.
Now we have a motion in a second. Is there any further discussion? Hearing none. All those in favor signify by saying I. I. All those opposed, same sign. That motion carries. 10.3 fuel
pure oil. You said that was pretty smooth last year. Yeah. It's just we don't pay tax like Yeah. just way for we have a motion and a second for the fuel bid. Is there any further
discussion? Hearing none. All those in favor signify by saying I. I. All those opposed, same sign. That motion carries. 10.4 snow removal. We have two bids um from Hayes Enterprises
as well as Lennis Sand and Gravel and I believe that is laid out side by side on this. Well, individual things in here as well, but I like the line to line. Quick question on on that part. Maybe
Dean has the information. Didn't it used to be like a bid for the season? Like a dollar a month for the season years ago? Great. Yeah. If you recall, would it already be three years ago when
we had just tremendous snow? Mhm. I mean, our bill was high. Now, we followed that with two years of pretty minimal. And you know, we budget, we didn't budget for the high end, but we also didn't budget on the low end
either when we had a lean year. So the budget, the last two years, we've actually saved some money from the budget. But the one year, we were over budget, but that's what it was, you know. Yep.
And both of these bids are comparable as far as what they're guaranteeing timewise and removing snow piles. I'm sure that was in the bid that you sent out, but do you know what type of equipment
inventory? No, it could be a situation. If you get to your vent at all. Yeah. You know the the expectation, right? I mean, the expectation would be,
right, right? Yep. I guess that's how I would respond to that. And and um time will tell, I guess. And if the performance isn't happening, I would believe that we have
the right to to change our decision based on that. Lis has been for as long as there's been snow. There's been snow. We've never had
I don't know that we I mean I didn't motion to approve Enterprise personal removal. We have a motion and a second. Is there any further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor signify
by saying I. But I all those opposed same sign. All right. 10.2 approve not approve bids for sale of buses. We'll take these one at a time. There's different numbers. Uh 10.2.1
uh bus 814. Uh we have a bid from both Luckkins or Patty Joe. So, I believe the bus or the bid from Luckkins uh would be $800 and the bid
from Independent Party would be $911 for bus 814. Make a motion to approve that1. All right, we have a motion and a second. Any further discussion? Hearing none. All those in favor signify
by saying I. by all those oppos same motion. All right. And then the way that I read it is the bus uh B14 the bid from Gluckkins is again 800 and
the bid from Patty Joe Carroll is $510. [Music] Second. All right. Motion and a second. Any further discussion? Hearing none. All those in favor signify by saying I. All those opposed, same sign.
Does anybody remember what we sold last time? 400. Yeah, I think it was, wasn't it? 613 or 666. It was like some I think it was 666. I don't know. Weird.
I think it's a little bit more these. Yeah, just random. So like all right 10.3 approve not approve bids for demolition of Methodist church and parsonage. All right so that there's also there's
individual bids in the packet and that is also laid out on our correct beautiful spreadsheet here. Thanks to Miss Woods for that. Yeah, I'm a fan. So you can see we have a variety of of
um bids. Um five, I believe. Is that accurate? Yeah, four or five. Um we put it out for demolition of the church and parsonage and for fill back fill uh to provide a buildable lot when
completed. Um, if there is, excuse me, I'll back that up. The contractor and the historical society will work to salvage the stained glass
windows. That will not be part of any exchange of funds with with the school district. So once this is awarded that it becomes the responsibility of the of the um historical society to work with the
contractor to get those windows out if they so choose. And uh they've indicated that they would do that. They will need to meet the time frame that we establish for demolition with the contractor. But but they'll have that opportunity and
there will be no charge by the district for those. I believe our only um piece of this in agreement with the church would be that cornerstone and cornerstone, excuse me. And and we need to get the bell down. Um but the cornerstone too is our responsibility. Correct. Yeah.
We'll work with the contractor on that. Y So to the best of our knowledge, these five bids are all Yep. same project. Yep. Or Yep. Fair enough. We're not getting infinitely more on some less.
No. It's all been done. We We did that all last year. Yep. So, it's all It's good to go. Yep. We paid a little bit for that, but um we had an analysis done and then he did it.
I don't remember exactly what the report is, but we got a clearance by a legitimate I don't know what he would be to gave us the go ahead that it's Yep.
Yep. Yep. And just so you know, we have taken a few items out of there from the construction trades class. Took some big wooden doors out of those and they were used for some projects. But um if you recall, the church really removed
virtually everything from there. Um so it's it's ready to be demoed short of working with the U historical society to save the windows. Make a motion to approve Enterprise for demolition
church. Did you hear that one, Scott? It was a second from across the room. Excuse me. All right. So, we have a motion and a second. Uh, is there any further discussion? Only time we would we would not approve
the other ones is if we rejected all bids. Y by approving one we therefore do not approve the other four. Correct. Good call. Um
I'll wait for after the call for the question. Any further discussion hearing? None. All those in favor signify by saying I. I. All those opposed, same sign. That motion carries. A decision that this board will need to
make though is the time frame to do that work. Um, I don't know if we want to work through that now or decide in September. We need official board action to have a
timeline. If it needs to be an action, we'd have to do it next month. That'll be me. Okay. Scott and Dean are saying administrative. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I'll work with it. Well,
imagine, right? Okay. Y okay. Okay. Now, we get into our gymnastics. We're going to tackle 10.6 before 10.4
or renaming it 10.3.9. Uh so that would be approve not approve bus garage parking lot bids. Can I add some insight to this? So what happened was if we did this study um we did this the
study two years ago now and in this study or in their recommendation they put together a plan. The plan called for substructure removal of fill back
filling putting in drainage and the end product being um black top on top of the final product. Mhm. If you recall, and I don't expect you necessarily to do that, we talked at this level and at with Wizith as well
and and I said, "Can we not do the black top and just class five it black top and then drive on it for a year, make sure it settles right, and then come back and black top." Yeah. In fact, that would be recommended. So, that's what we
bid a year ago. That's how we bid it without the black top. and we ended up not rejecting all those bids and not doing the project if you recall. So that forc this issue to rebid it
in in getting the specs out and I will take responsibility. I did not instruct the contractors to not bid the black top. So some of the bids we have have the black top included, some do not.
That make sense? would be why there's such variance. Correct. So Hagen has the low bid and Mark last year he and I visited about this and so he bid it the same way this year as he did last year.
Um the other contractors simply got the specs looked at it which called for black top as the top layer and bid it accordingly. So that was a mistake on my part in communicating that or having how I asked the bids to be written. Um and so in
order to get a fair rather than just going back to the contractors and say take off your black top then what do you have? I think we just my recommendation would be reject all bids and then rebid it. Short turnaround. It's going to be
pretty simple for them. They've done their hard work already um to bid up the black. Yeah, unless we want to bid the black top. Again, I think it's a cost issue as well as I
think there's there's good recommendation that that we don't do that the first year and drive on it and pack it down, etc. Yep. Okay. I have a hard time
dig out the frost boils and fill them in. That was that would say I mean that's a problem, isn't it? Right now. Yeah, it's I wonder if we can pursue that that option before we reid it again. Part of the
problem is based on that study there was material in there that's probably not material for that right type of fall back doors I Well, the main the furthest
what I call the main garage where the office is and stuff. That's the worst spot right there. That's where the it almost becomes almost impossible to get into that though. This year was way better than other years, right? Um
see it in the driving spot too. You go by there. Yeah. But yeah, I mean, tell me what, you know, we could run both of them. Well, if if you're gonna go pull go back out and clarify the bid or
throw on that option, say, could you bid for the plans we have that go with that bid? Don't clarify. We would just We just have to rewrite that. But I don't know if that's a
I don't know if we can write a a bid sheet that makes sure everybody's doing the same project. Yeah. I think that whole area is I think the material they had before
and I don't know if the city when they read it the confer was that city if they dug up I think they did sure well first of all we need to reject
so we would be looking to approve or approve a bid or reject bids as the first part of this. Yeah. And administrative recommendation would be to reject all bids and send it back out
in some way, shape or form. Yep. table. Well, I think I think that's what I would look for. Reject all since the bids are open. I think we if we're if we're since they're not comparable, I think we reject these ones
and then at some level send bids back out whether it be with the current plan or with another plan. Right. I make a motion to reject bids as received and open. I so I'd leave it at one two different motions. So yeah, we have 10.4 as the
Y. So we have a motion to reject bids. Second. We have a second. Is there any further discussion? Hearing none. All those in favor signify by saying I. I.
I. All those opposed, same sign. We will communicate that. Well, based on what what decisions made with 10.4. Yeah, we will communicate something tomorrow to the biders. Okay. Yep. So then 10.4 um is approve not approve
authorization to rebid the bus garage parking lot. So that would be where we would want to decide what it is we're asking for bids on. Um from a from a budget standpoint, we have not budgeted for this project.
Just so you know that. Okay. in the preliminary budget. Certainly an adjusted budget would if it's approved, it will be included. It'll be included. But the preliminary budget does not have any set aside money for us. Hey, we just sold two buses.
That's right. Flush with cash. Yeah, but we're paying extra for bread. So, that money's gone. Less in. What else? What's that? Say we're paying less in fuel. Yeah. Yes, sir.
Call it a wash. And again, if we rebid it, that does not obligate us to do the project, right? You know, so I guess my recommendation would be that we would rebid it and then it we'll make a decision accordingly when we
after we receive those bids. You'll reach out to each of them. Yep. What's what's occurred? Yep. I think as quick and easy as it is for them to rebel off. seems simple to me. I don't that's not
my industry so I don't know for sure but it does seem simple enough to think when they built it for themselves there's a line reissue and just for for the record without black top
