And we do have hi and Jenkins out this evening as well. So, and then on to public audience.
3
00:01:42.455 --> 00:02:19.475
So just a few welcoming notes. The board's meeting time is dedicated to its strategic mission and top priority focus areas. Public participation is an opportunity to present brief comments or post questions to the board for consideration and follow up. Each person is asked to focus comments to three minutes. The boundaries are designed to keep the meeting focused and in no way should limit conversations beyond the board meeting. Please be aware that any individual student or personnel matters are considered confidential under Colorado law. It is out of respect for the individual students
4
00:02:19.695 --> 00:03:03.365
and staff that we ask for those conversations to be held in executive session. Insights are needed and welcomed and the board encourages you to meet with the most appropriate person among the district's, many leaders. Alright. All right. So we do have Gia Macias, did I say that correctly? Perfect. Come on up. We've got the table and the mic right here. If you wanna come on up and introduce yourself. Can I go first? Yeah, He wants me to go first. Are you? Yep. And if you guys wanna grab a a second chair that way. You guys are both. Thank you. Jacob. Welcome. I'm g Macias and this is Gia. Hi Gella.
5
00:03:03.365 --> 00:03:44.445
Thank you for coming. I'm just gonna read this off. So this is Gia Macias. Her incident happened on May 19th. I don't know if you guys are all aware and if you're not then that's the first failure. If any child gets injured under your watches, everyone should be aware, especially if it's a burn incident. Have you ever gotten burned by a splash of oil? Imagine with a full pot of water and rice. I only have a few minutes so I'm not explaining that. But this is how I feel and how we feel. How repulsive, abhorrent, distasteful and unprofessional.
6
00:03:44.505 --> 00:04:22.765
We were treated when my daughter was severely burnt and at Rifle middle school. First starters, I have not received a call back yet. I saw two of you guys at the drink, house assembly, large assembly on May 28th at RMS. No one cared to reach out to me. I've left voicemails, nothing. Still no one has reached out. It's fine. I'm already irritated and I'm not sure anybody could change that. I can't believe I have volunteered so many hours at all these schools. And even with that, we were dis disregarded and dismissed. I have always defended the school district
7
00:04:22.765 --> 00:05:02.565
and all the schools here in rifle. But why an eye opener and how I fully understand why so many are homeschooling and are moving schools. This mission statement is not being executed for us. Second, the principal's behavior is repugnant to me. Maybe that's why he was chosen. A principal and two head of RMS that I have seen many times through the same high hallways that I volunteer my time, yes, volunteer, give my time for him and for them my free time. They, and he did not care to reach out
8
00:05:03.065 --> 00:05:43.405
or to say a, say a word to me or to Gia, the student that has never caused any trouble. And she has had straight A's. Honestly, he's more like a prison warden than a principal. His behavior has already been talked down and talked about. And I always said, why don't we give him a chance? This is his chance for him to show what he can do. Well that was a huge slap in the face for me. Even when I brought up this in incident. He did not care. This is the, the person in charge of our future. This is the person in charge of our youth.
9
00:05:44.065 --> 00:06:21.045
How dare we complain later on when they don't care about us and aren't good citizens? All he had for me was excuses. One of him being busy. Zia's dad and grandmother abort, both general manager and business owners. So I know how busy he is. But in that same way, I know how they would've taken care of the people under them if, especially if someone was injured. And if that's too much for him, then why is he even here? Gia doesn't remember much as she was in shock when it happened. She was caught off guard. No one was there for support. No one, the only present adult in the room,
10
00:06:21.525 --> 00:06:56.765
I believe can't take care of her own person. She freaked out, sent her off to the nurses alone. Gia then asked if her cooking partner could come with her since she saw everyone so shocked and frightened. And so that's how someone accompanied her. That same adult in the room then decided to gossip to the whole school about what happened. And Gia is not okay with that ela, that kind of attention or any attention. I'm almost done. Okay. She always just keeps to herself. You can ask anyone, isn't this some type of HIPAA violation?
11
00:06:57.715 --> 00:07:34.085
Then when she saw me at school that same exact day, she didn't have anything to ask or say to me. How sad is that? But she told the whole school what had happened all day. When Gia got to the nurse, the nurse was also very frightened and didn't know what to do. And was asking Gia a 14-year-old what she should do, which blows my mind. Why would she ask her what to do? The main teacher left the kids unattended dealing with hot water and went to another room. I am thinking, who does that then?
12
00:07:34.225 --> 00:08:10.045
Who cooks rice and drains water? Never have I heard of rice being cooked with that much water. E either. Did she even know what she was doing? Do you think she even cared to ask about what, what, how Gia is, how she's doing? Just saying all of this turns my stomach. But as everyone asks me, how is Gia doing? How did this awful thing happen to her at school? Yet no one is surprised of this incompetence. We have no trust. Now I am disappointed. I am enraged. I am an angry mom and we are angry family and friends. Why do we have parents square
13
00:08:10.105 --> 00:08:49.525
for better communication if no one communicates, GIA must take care of of this for the rest of her life. Her the end of her eighth grade year was already screwed up. She wasn't, she wasn't able to do anything. Scars, we don't know and so many other things you guys have no idea about. This makes me wonder, what if this had happened with a family without resources? What would've happened to that poor child? A burn is traumatic and needs a lot of attention as they can get infected very easily. This is a lot and I expect some type of return to us as there were many mistakes in handling of this situation
14
00:08:49.585 --> 00:09:24.685
before, during, and after. At the end, I don't blame anyone but you all one highly respected person in our community said, do we have too much common sense when I explained this to him? So below I have attached some self-explanatory pictures for you all to see when you get a chance. And that's the for me and G is gonna say a few words. Thank you Gce. And is this phone number contact information on here? Correct? Yeah. And I have it on this that I would like you guys to see. Okay, Perfect. I wanna start off by saying that I'm very disappointed in all of the adults in this district.
15
00:09:25.115 --> 00:10:00.525
When this incident happened, I felt like none of the role models in our school had any sympathy for me. If my mom wasn't the first one to reach out, I'm sure no one would've contacted us. Seeing the amount of money it cost for one checkup for my arm made me feel horrible. And that wasn't even counting the ER visit or the many other checkups that I have and I'm still having, I just couldn't imagine if this happened to a struggling family. A day after this incident, one of my friends told me that the teacher that was with me during this incident who has to rely on an oxygen tank and could barely walk, told all of her classes about me leading up to the day I had
16
00:10:00.525 --> 00:10:35.045
to go back to school, I would be sick to my stomach of thinking of going back and having all of this attention. And when and when I went back to school, sure enough, I had a lot of attention and I was in pain the whole day. But this attention was only for my classmates because no teacher or leader in my school asked if I was okay. I felt like I got robbed of my end of middle school experience while other kids were at the lake or doing fun things. I was at home in pain missing out for my graduation. I had to wear an arm sleeve that my grandma and sister made for me and still leading into the summer where kids are supposed
17
00:10:35.045 --> 00:11:27.445
to be at the pool or at the lake. I have to be inside, inside with my arm bandaged up and cannot let my arm get wet. As you could see, this did not only have an impact on me physically, but also mentally. I will probably have this scar for the rest of my life. And to me it re, it represents how selfish adults are in our community. And I think, and anytime I think of the end of middle school, this will always haunt me. Thank You Gia. Thank you guys for coming. Okay. Jamie Hayes. Okay, we will circle back to that one. I am not sure, I believe she had signed up last meeting
18
00:11:27.585 --> 00:12:02.365
as well and okay. Oh is that the, yeah, so we'll go ahead and circle back to that one. Alright, onto the consent agenda. Are there any changes to the consent agenda? There is not. Okay. I would take a motion to approve the consent agenda as presented. I make a motion to approve the consent agenda as presented. Thank you. Cassie, may I get a second? I'll Second That. Thank you Steve. Lisa, may I get roll call please? Volume aye Castle. Aye Jensen. Aye. Okay.
19
00:12:03.615 --> 00:12:53.745
And now onto the governance discussion items. So we've got Glenwood insurance renewals for 26, 27. Okay, thank you. Lemme Bring this up. Okay, thank you for having us again. Two meetings in a row. You're, we're talking about insurance, but we are thankful for your patience with us. As a recap, we presented on the May 27th meeting. We had just received the renewal quote, so nobody really had time, you all didn't have time to review. We had just a little time to review. So we got you.
20
00:12:54.515 --> 00:13:30.265
After our discussion, we went over some of the changes to the policy from the prior year to the current year. And then we, after our discussion, we went back and got you some different quotes, different answers in that kind of thing. So as a quick recap, we don't have it on our PowerPoint tonight, but I just wanna remind you of the changes from the current term to the upcoming seven July 1st renewal. Things that are changing is the property deductibles increasing from 25,000 to 50,000 roofs at rifle High School.
21
00:13:30.355 --> 00:14:08.905
Rifle middle for now, Coleridge and Highland Elementary are going to actual cash value. So they're taking depreciation into account on any claim that's happens to those roofs. The crime deductible on the crime portion of the policy is going from a thousand dollars to 2,500. The auto liability will now have a $10,000 deductible for any damage cost to a third party. You guys will pay the first 10,000 or you'll pay the 10,000 and then the company will pay over and above that. Buses that are over 10 years will get actual cash value
22
00:14:08.965 --> 00:14:41.465
as their valuation buses that are 10 years and newer will get replacement costs. So they'll be replaced at their actual replacement cost. And the concerning consideration that we had last meeting was the fire arm liability exclusion that was added except for law enforcement negligent acts. So we went back to Gladfelter, our insurance company and said like, what's happening? Tell us a little bit more about this. So they came back and said, really
23
00:14:41.535 --> 00:15:17.525
what had happened in the prior policy periods on all of their policies, they didn't have an exclusion for law enforcement activity. So their policy was silent on that. So as it was silent when claims came up, they started to have to pay for claims that they didn't intend to pay. So as a result of that, they changed their form. They put on a fire law enforcement activity exclusion onto the general liability policy. But around that, if we can go to our
24
00:15:18.185 --> 00:15:55.485
second page please. That one? No, the next one thank you around that. How about the third one? Sorry, I'm making you work. Oh, okay. So the current policy that they offered, original policy that we presented on May 27th had a fire law enforcement activity exclusion, but they gave you back coverage for law enforcement wrongful acts. So if you choose that, there's no additional premium, there's only coverage for law enforcement wrongful acts.
25
00:15:55.625 --> 00:16:30.885
So if an officer, and it doesn't say who it can be any officer were to sh you know, injure a wrong person instead of the correct person there would be coverage for you if there was a wrongful act from law enforcement. What we have asked gladfelter to do is quote coverage for law enforcement activity. So there's an exclusion, but we're gonna carve it back for a premium. The premium's running like 3030 300, 0 33,
26
00:16:31.615 --> 00:17:05.765
$3,396. So the difference in this premiums, Roger, if you go back one sure please we can get liability for law enforcement liability coverage, defense coverage for you for $3,396. That includes the 1 million each occurrence limit with a 3 million aggregate and the umbrella over the top of that. So you would really have 5 million each occurrence, 8 million aggregate in total for your liability.
27
00:17:05.905 --> 00:17:37.365
But, so that's really what we're recommending tonight. But you, I talked to the underwriter and she's like, if you have a tight contract with the city of rifle or whoever's get providing the school resource officers, if that's a tight contract where they're going to defend you, they're agreeing to name you as additional insured, you have a waiver of subrogation and you're really just gonna feel comfortable going to their policy because of your tight contract, you probably would, could take the original premium that we had out there
28
00:17:37.555 --> 00:18:12.445
with the firearm exclusion, the five 70. But if you don't feel comfortable with that, if you'd like to have your own liability limit, like Tom and I talked about last last week, where you know, people are suing everybody. And so yes, if you've got a tight contract you can go to the city of Rifle or whoever's supplying that school resource officer and feel comfortable with that. Otherwise we would recommend purchasing the premium with the law enforcement liability. What was that total again? The additional premium between the 5 70 0 8 1 and the 5 73 4 77.
29
00:18:12.625 --> 00:18:50.565
The difference is 3,396. So that's our recommendation there on the package. Tom, would you add anything to that? I don't think so. Okay. Then next we go to the cyber liability policy. And I had, I got really excited about this. Currently you're with Tokyo Marine, very good company ensuring cyber liability. Very good at that. Gladfelter, the same company that provides the package insurance for the school district is an A IG company affiliate. And they are in the market for cyber liability.
30
00:18:50.585 --> 00:19:24.005
So they quoted us as cyber liability policy and saved us next slide please. $12,000. And so we went back, Roger said, is this exactly the next one? Yep. Is this exactly the same coverage? We went back to the underwriter said, is this exactly the same coverage? She said, yes, I went through the Tokyo Marine policy line by line and made sure that I was matching the only thing. We may have some more coverage, additional benefit, more limit than Tokyo Marine so we can be assured
31
00:19:24.035 --> 00:20:03.565
that this is the same policy and the savings is $12,000. Next, workers' compensation, we have seen an increase and we talked about that last meeting. Claims frequency, claims severity, it didn't really affect your experience modification factor this year, but because of the frequency and severity, the rates have gone up. And so we took it to market and we went to market to five different carriers. I put it in your cover letter that you had in your packet. The comp, the markets that we approached, many
32
00:20:03.565 --> 00:20:41.045
of them declined to quote because of the claims activity. So we didn't really have a market there. We do have one company that's willing to quote if the claims activity can be reduced and the frequency, frequency and severity would be reduced for two years. They would take a look. But for now Pinnacle is our only option. So that's where we are on the workers' compensation piece. And then lastly, direct director Jenkins last time had asked about the experience mod, we talked about the experience model. I'm gonna let Tom, since he created the slide for us
33
00:20:41.065 --> 00:21:17.005
and gathered some data, kind of speak to this, but, but Chance was asking about like what's the lowest we could get and you know, what does that look like? And so I just would like Tom to talk to you a little bit about the effect of the experience mod on your premium. Thank you Netty. So this chart shows really four pieces of information. The set of bars to the left is your current EMO and your current work comp premium for the coming policy period. So you're at a 1.21 and that results in a 363, 2 33 premium.
34
00:21:17.315 --> 00:21:54.765
That 1.21 indicates that your being charged an additional 21% to cover your claims history from a three year window ending in the summer of 24. So it's 21, 22, 22, 23, 23, 24. Those are the years that are being looked at. The next set of bars to the right shows you what an average performing entity would be. This is where you would be if you were average or your losses were what they would be expected to be. So that would be a 1.0 mod and a $300,000 premium. The question is how low could you get your Emad to go?
35
00:21:54.905 --> 00:22:30.285
And if what we, we ran a calculation and said if you went that entire three year period with the payrolls that you had, your minimum mod would be a 0.048. So if you were absolutely perfect across that time period and, and honestly it's not even totally perfect, it's that you had no claims that exceeded your deductible because they are, that cost is set aside, you could get down to a 0.048 with a premium of about $144,000. So the last number there shows you what you actually have control over right now, 0.73 of your
36
00:22:31.105 --> 00:23:05.535
eod and therefore about 0.73 of your premium is what you have control over. So about 219,000, I think it's, you know, I I I've never seen an organization as large as yours that can get down to that minimum mod. I mean it's just, there's a lot going on and you're, you're going to have claims, but I think there's a lot of room looking at, you know, safety program and claims management and return to work opportunities to take a little more control of your mod. And I think the district's already really looking at quite a bit of that.
37
00:23:05.755 --> 00:23:42.775
We work together pretty closely and we've been working, especially on the claims side, trying to manage claims. So I think there's more to come there. This last year has been an improvement, but it's really too early to start modeling what next year will look like because the claims are too young. So we don't really know where the costs are gonna settle out for the claims here that have occurred over the last several months. So more to come on that and we can check in mid-year. Right. We can give you, give you an update there of of where it looks like you're going. Yeah. But Yeah, pinnacle will report to NCCI the, the entity
38
00:23:42.805 --> 00:24:18.565
that really forms the experience mod factor. When do they do that? January one. January 1st. And so right after that we'll know kind of where we're headed for 2027. But Fingers crossed. Anyway, I just wanted you to see the impact of the experience mod and the controllable piece. If we can just get a even a little bit more control and if we can close some of those claims, we can, you know, certainly hope to have this premium come down for you. And I did look at your deductible because I said your deductible, whatever is paid under the deductible does not get reported to the rating agency.
39
00:24:19.405 --> 00:25:03.165
Your deductible is $2,500 right now and, and taking a step up to a higher deductible would not give you a net benefit dropping. It would definitely cost you, but we're still at, at a sweet spot for the types of claims the size of claims you have. But we look at that every year as well. So, okay, I apologize if I missed this, but how many claims went over that deductible? I do have it. Okay. I'll take, do you, Let's see. It'll take me or to a second to look at that. Maybe I don't. Do you have it?
40
00:25:04.565 --> 00:25:44.285
I knew she was gonna ask this Question. You did. I I can pull my laptop out and pull, pull it pretty quickly. I Can get it back to you. You know's. Fine Zach, that's fine. No, Any answers from Question. Thank you. It will take just a bit. No, you're fine. Yep. Any other questions while he's pulling that? I Know that some of the other board member members did have questions last time and I never saw an email. Did anybody get an email with those questions answered? We just brought them back. That's what we brought them back so, right. Okay. Around the law enforcement liability. Okay. Were some of the questions on what does that mean, right?
41
00:25:44.545 --> 00:26:17.885
We need to have that so we needed clarification. Right? Another question was, is it just for the school resource officers? And it's not, it's any law enforcement activity. So if we have a situation at a school and other law enforcement is arriving and they're doing what they're doing, there's protection there. Okay. And especially, you know, like Tom and I talked about this a little bit and it seems like they're giving you coverage for law enforcement activity that that's inappropriate.
42
00:26:17.895 --> 00:26:54.045
Right? So they probably don't pay those claims. There's probably not a lot of those claims 'cause they're giving it to you. It's the people that do the right thing. The police officers, the law enforcement that goes right, that you still get sued because of, because somebody's offended or whatever. Somebody's hurt. You still get sued because of it and everything went right. That's what this three 3,396 would help defend you to, you know, work the claim for you and say we did everything correctly. And then the next one was around, and I don't think we've gotten through this yet, but it's around our catastrophic
43
00:26:54.045 --> 00:27:28.365
and our student voluntary plan about going into quote. So if you want to talk about, Yeah, I would be happy, I would be happy to provide you a quote on the student accident and student volunteer coverage. So what it is, and I believe you have a policy with a New Mexico agent. I knew you had one at least in 2023, where there was some confusion and I received an some information on that and every year it renews August 1st and there's a count of students and what that policy covers is accidents that happen,
44
00:27:29.155 --> 00:28:06.645
interleague band field trips, all of that there. It's, it's an accident policy for students that are involved and the district pays for that. You pay for a catastrophic loss sort of situation. And there's different things that are paid like death, dismemberment, hospitalization, dental, loss of hearing, cardiac. I read through your policy to kind of see what it is, but it's sort of a catchall in case there's an accident that happens and it really does have to be an accident. So something that happens on a field trip
45
00:28:06.645 --> 00:28:40.445
or something like that, you could turn in a claim and I believe it's probably excess over any other collectible insurance. So if somebody has their own health insurance, this policy will pay their deductible. But if they don't have insurance for this particular accident, there could be some benefit. There's also some additional benefits out there. That policy, again renews August 1st with your other person. But we'd be happy to provide you an, an optional quote to look at that. Yep. Based on number of students, there's also one other policy out there that we might want to consider. And it is also based on number of students
46
00:28:41.025 --> 00:29:16.405
and it's a workplace violence and active shooter policy. And it provides not only some legal liability for the active shooter and workplace violence, but also some coverage for benefit family, some death benefit, that kind of thing. Mental treatment, that kind of other things that, that are included in that. And maybe it just makes sense to take a quote since they're both based on number of students. I think it might be prudent to at least look at it and say yes or no. I don't know.
47
00:29:16.595 --> 00:29:54.805
Workplace violence is based on student count. It is. This policy is based Not employee count, It's a Yeah, it's a combined policy. So it's covering active shooter and workplace violence incidents and it is based on the number of students. Would that also cover catastrophic loss? Would that be one in the same or no? No, the cat. Could they be one in the same? No one company does the active shooter workplace violence policy and another three other companies will do the, the accident student accident policy that you pay for will offer the voluntary policy,
48
00:29:54.805 --> 00:30:29.225
student accident policy for families. If they want more coverage or coverage during the summer or coverage while their children are not at school. We can get that and bundle that together with this catastrophic student accident policy. Okay. The workplace violence and active shooter, what about the firearms policy? Would that cover that I, what I'm trying to do is I'm trying to get as few policies as possible, especially when some of them can seem redundant and,
49
00:30:29.405 --> 00:31:12.435
and trying to make sure that we're getting the best bang for our buck and we're not paying for stuff that's not needed. Right. When it's covered ultimately under another policy. Right. Firearm liability is only available for law enforcement. Okay. That's the deal. They don't wanna pay for the concealed carry that happens. But if there were an a, if an active shooter was happening and a teacher fired, yeah, that would be under the active shooter workplace violence policy. Okay. Liability there. We don't have any teachers that carry

00:31:12.855 --> 00:31:45.435
No, they're not allowed to carry. Yeah. Right. They're not allowed to carry. That was one of the other questions is like, do we allow that? We don't Yeah. That's already our policy. So we skipped over that. But that's, we responded Sure. Like yes, let's start getting quotes together. Especially with those in August 1st. There was a little bit of confusion even later, earlier this afternoon of if our renewal was August 1st or October 1st. Okay. So we're, we're doing a little bit of learning. I just want you all to know, like this first year
51
00:31:45.435 --> 00:32:19.435
that I have taken this project on and so we're learning and we're gonna do better next year about how we handle this and it's Gonna be okay. So that's where we're gonna move forward with this, trying to get quotes for that and so that we have less policy holders because if we can have one like organization that holds those policies, it's a lot better than having three organizations. Right. And, and I would be curious to see our contracts with the police department to see what their insurance covers as far as for us for having their officers on property.
52
00:32:19.495 --> 00:33:02.125
And I'm sure they probably also have some sort of active shooter clause in their policies as well. So I would definitely encourage us to look at those as well. Shall we return to the count? Yes. What does the count mean? Okay, So for 2223 there were 12. Okay. For 23, 24 there were nine for 24, 25 there were six. Oh, it's going down For 25, 26. Year to date there were seven. So We have, we have a few more weeks on that one. The costs are very widely over those four years. Okay. So yeah, All under the deductible or the, those
53
00:33:02.125 --> 00:33:42.845
Are the, those are the ones that exceeded the deductible. The deductible above. But we went down, But, and this, The number of claims went down, the number Of claims have have dropped. Yes, definitely. And for the current year that we're just finishing, the cost is less than half of the previous year. So you're, you're turning a corner there. As of now, those, a lot of those claims have time to mature and develop. So we'll see where they, where they play out. And then I just wanna mention that just for the sake of voting tonight, or you know, as we're talking about the contract
54
00:33:42.845 --> 00:34:17.285
and whether you feel comfortable with rifle, we can endorse this policy throughout the year. So if you want to choose the policy as originally presented on May 27th with, with just coverage for negligent acts of a law enforcement, we can do that while you're checking contracts. Or we could bind the, the coverage with the law enforcement liability activity coverage included. And then as you discover these contracts and figure out what you have
55
00:34:17.285 --> 00:34:58.905
and what you feel comfortable with, we could remove that coverage at a future date. If you feel like you don't need it, It's 3000. Yeah. Yeah. It's $3,000 but it's $3,000. Right. Like Any other questions For CYA? No, thank you guys. Are there my only question? Yes. Yes. Unless we have a quo to vote to make sure that we can these policies. So you do. Okay. Thank you. You thank you net. Thank you Tom.
56
00:34:58.995 --> 00:35:38.205
Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you. Thank you. You're all gunfire. Can I do appreciate the cyber that's Yes. Savings there. That's huge. That was 12,000. $12,000. See second year in the road that it's gone down. I know that's not, it never happens. That's an I with, with Yeah. Especially with everything that's coming out with AI and everything else. I'm surprised that that is going down. Maybe I shouldn't say anything. I'll, you haven't had any like incidents? Oh no. Yeah. Okay. I'll keep my mouth on that one. Yeah, we
57
00:35:38.205 --> 00:36:15.965
Haven't thought of that. So my, my only comment to the board is, is that I, I would recommend that you move forward with the quotes from your insurance brokers and as, as I think Cassie alluded at, at this point, I would recommend taking the, the, the additional coverage for us and we will continue to work with our agencies and doing that. But we, I think at this point, because our insurance coverages are looking at scrutiny for this component, I don't feel, to be honest,
58
00:36:16.165 --> 00:36:52.325
I don't feel comfortable in taking that step. And even with, with legal counsel because this is a gray area that in my experience when large insurance companies make moves like this because it's a small, smaller denomination, I don't know if I would take the, the risk of, of doing that with it. If this was a larger chunk, I may may ask you to give me more time to investigate it, but I, I feel like this would be a number that I'd be willing to, to do it and,
59
00:36:52.505 --> 00:37:27.725
and take a year to investigate more and, and what we're doing or whether or not we need another carrier who is willing to, to do that. So my recommendation is for us to, to move forward on that. And then as far as the other plans that were listed or were discussed, we will ask for quotes on those and bring those back and we can then move forward for those either in before the expiration date of eight one or so. We can do that either in our next board meeting
60
00:37:27.865 --> 00:38:04.005
or in our July meeting move, move forward with those. So I just wanted to let you guys, that's just kind of my, my position on it and give you where I'm coming from as your superintendent. I appreciate it. Thank you. So do you guys have any, any questions? Anything you'd like to further discuss? I, well I just would like to say that for an organization and a $3,000 insurance to add a little extra seems like a no brainer to me.
61
00:38:04.795 --> 00:38:43.165
It's like pennies on the dollar at this point when it comes to something that large of an event. So I would be fined approving the new quote of the 5 73 4 77 and you know, you do have a savings of 12,000 in there For cyber, But it didn't really offset the the over, yeah, We'll take a win for a Win. But, but we, you know, it'll be okay. I think as long as Jason, Jason's not in here, it's all in the budget. Good. He's aware of, okay. We,
62
00:38:43.385 --> 00:39:19.085
We anticipated the increase In my budget. We did. Okay. Okay. Good. That would, that was my only question. I was sweating. You can ask them when I together, so, And like as long as Jason approves The money, guy approves we're good. And so you guys probably did see that in, in my budget. You saw those line item increases and we put the notes of why they increase between the work comp, increase the liability, all of those things. So my, my budget did grow quite a bit because it holds in hrs department. So we, we did anticipate the growth. Okay. Okay.
63
00:39:19.435 --> 00:39:54.765
Awesome. Alright. Do you have verbiage on what we need to read to approve it? Or is That government action? I I don't have any. I So the cyber liability proposal, that was the initial one, correct? That was presented the last meeting. Last meeting, yeah, That's what I thought. Okay. It's approved all three individually. Yes. Yes. So I think I have that one but I don't have a paper. It's probably, what do you need? You want the cyber one?
64
00:39:55.185 --> 00:40:32.845
No, I have the cyber one. Oh maybe this one I can read. What do you need? Oh, just for when we go to approve it. I have it. Okay. I found it in here. I think Under number seven is what you're looking for. Yeah. Okay. I would take a motion to approve the cyber liability proposal as presented on May 27th, 2026. I make a motion to approve the cyber liability from May 27th, 2027 or 2026. Right. Don't, don't, go ahead please. May I get a second please?
65
00:40:33.525 --> 00:41:24.415
I can second that. Thank you Lisa, may I get roll call? Will You? Aye Haskell Aye Jensen Aye The insurance is in. It's the change One. It? Yep. Okay. So yeah, which is in our letter. Yeah. Do you have it? Okay. And then I would take a motion to approve the workers' compensation renewal offer. I'll make a motion to approve the workers' compensation renewal offer as presented. Thank you. May I get a second? I second that. Thank you Lisa. May I get roll call? All You. Aye Ask Aye. Aye. My counts off in my head.
66
00:41:24.495 --> 00:42:03.965
I keep waiting for this other night. There's Everybody else and it doesn't help to have Jenkins and Jensen. Right? I sorry. Yeah, that threw that through. Yeah, that threw Sharon off too. Alright. And then I would take a motion to approve the property and casual casualty insurance as presented this evening. I, I approve, I make a motion to approve the property and casual insurance renewal as presented. Do I need to note the Amount? Well If the firearm with the firearm.
67
00:42:04.995 --> 00:42:46.225
Sure. Insurance. There You go. Yep. Thank you. I'll second that. Thank you Steve. Lisa, may I get roll call please? All you. Aye Hascal. Aye. And Jensen. Aye. Thank you. Thank you very Much Tom and Netty. I do appreciate all your guys' time and hard work like that. Yes, thank you. Thank you Very Much. Pleasure. And dealing with our questions, especially from the layman's terms. The Engagement is awesome. Really. It makes it more rewarding.
68
00:42:48.735 --> 00:43:36.605
Perfect. Future requests. Wow. I request that we do our review for our Superintendent head. Okay. Yep. We don't have a shine the light again next meeting. Yes, correct. Okay. We need to come up with something for Jacob to do here tonight. Feel bad. What does this Jacob up do? Hmm Hmm. And Simone are busy. We can, I'm sure we can get them to talk Mom thing Now.
69
00:43:37.275 --> 00:44:20.805
Well 'cause next meeting is gonna be budget. Yes. We've Got budget. We've got budget. Yeah. We definitely need to do your review. The goals that we set at the beginning of the 25, 26 school year pretty much kind of expanded. They, they just moved forward. But we definitely need to do your, do your review. Is there anything that you request of us? I I think the only question was would you like to do that? Would you like to do a work session for the goals and then do an executive session
70
00:44:21.865 --> 00:44:59.645
on evaluation? Or how would the board prefer to go about that Executive session? For sure. For your review. And my thought process was next meeting, since we do not have a shine the light, we would be able to do the executive session at that time slot instead. Okay. So four 30. So four 30 since we're all kind of used to that time anyway. Okay. Kind of makes some sense hopefully for an executive session for that as far as a work session for the goals.
71
00:45:00.815 --> 00:45:44.325
Definitely. 'cause we did get the email and I, I believe I forwarded onto the rest of the board regarding the goals that we had set in the process that we had done at the beginning of this school year. So we could kind of evaluate that and see where we were, where we were at at that time. What do you guys think? Yeah, I would be fine with that. The, what you were saying, the executive and the work session. Okay. Is there a time when you guys would like to do the work session? Let me get my little Yeah, we can, we might have to do like some sort of poll or something on an email with all the board members.
72
00:45:45.185 --> 00:46:23.245
So here Just to see what a good date Would. Here's my only thought is, is that if we did a work session at four 30, we we could, we could do do that. We could hold our regular session board meeting, go into Executive And then we could go into executive session and then we could actually, like staff wise we could do it and then we can come out of executive session and close down the meeting and then that way we're not holding staff or having to schedule another meeting if that works.
73
00:46:23.755 --> 00:46:59.525
That works. That works. Great way. So that kind of, I'm I'm kind of going off of fathom what you were saying is we're, we're used to doing Shine the light and doing it. And so that way we can combine both is instead of doing shine the light do work session and then we'll just, we can convene an executive session on personnel. We'll use the personnel caveat to do that, but we'll do that at the end of the meeting so then staff can go home. We do executive session, we come outta session, executive session, end the meeting. But then we're not holding anybody to be part of
74
00:46:59.525 --> 00:47:35.645
that since it's just Us. It's just me and you're holding me for that one, which I'm okay. Okay. All right. I'm good with that. I think that's a great idea. That way we're not trying to, I mean summers obviously as we can see with three of us here this evening, summers are busy enough. Yeah. Yeah. So I don't think we need to add any extra extra days. So are you guys good with that? Perfect. Especially if, yeah. I mean if we're, we're, It's already carved Out. Yep. Okay. It's already carved out. We're used to meetings being longer so we might
75
00:47:35.645 --> 00:48:18.725
as well at least take that extra time. So we'll do, we'll do work session 'cause and at four 30. At four 30 And that those will be to set set goals for next year and then we'll do, we will put executive session on the agenda for personnel. Yep. Okay. That sounds good. Okay. Anything else? Any other future requests? We're drawing towards the end of the year Comes a new, so, so close behind it. It comes a new year. I know Summer CTE stuff going on for students isn't there? There is, you want, you want a quick cool update?
76
00:48:19.145 --> 00:49:05.005
The third Thursday event here in Rifle, we had a number of students attend a workshop with the city of Rifle to put, to craft a survey to give to their fellow students at Rifle High School to give input on the new comprehensive plan. And so at the third Thursday event, they're gonna talk about what that input, you know, what adjustments they're making to comprehensive plan based on input that LY Gave. Awesome. Sweet. Nice. So go To the third Thursday then. Sweet. That's awesome. Okay, do you guys have anything? I think the only thing that I just have out there is
77
00:49:05.005 --> 00:49:41.565
that you may have seen that there people on their phones may be getting surveys from the district regarding future finance and we were asking for feedback. So to the general public please, we want your feedback regarding the questions. So if you get a text from the district, please answer that because we def definitely wanna know what the general public thinks. Absolutely. And that Yep. And that was random. It's not everybody in the district, correct? Yeah. Is that right? Yep. Yeah, so So if you didn't get one,
78
00:49:41.655 --> 00:50:21.325
don't freak out. Yes. Yeah. Yep. Okay. Correct. Okay. Meeting debrief one. We don't have, I forgot about that. We have a new form for the meeting debrief, but if you guys just wanna shoot me an email on any, anything on what we could have done better for this meeting and we'll go from there. Oh, the meeting? Yep. Yeah, we do that. Okay. Do you just need one for each of you? Just one for them. I don't do it. We
79
00:50:21.325 --> 00:52:10.325

80
00:52:10.325 --> 00:52:19.965
