for Bill thank you we'll move on to thank you yep we'll move on to Mr Voss good evening I'm going to keep mine pretty brief here as well um I want to draw attention to just two things uh that I think are the most important for you guys as a school board to know one is on my report and one is just an FYI
as I spoke about it last month um but we are going to move forward with the GSL testing calendar of the two half days of April 2nd and April 17th um utilizing those half days to complete the majority of our MCA testing so on those days uh
on April 12th or sorry April 2nd we wouldn't have students in grades 9 and 12 come to campus they would be home and then on April 17th we wouldn't have students in grades 9 11 or 12 come uh as we're utilizing all of our staff to uh be test monitors and test Proctors at
school and also keep individuals off of our Network while we're MCA testing so I spoke a little bit about it last last uh board meeting but just wanted to bring it up again today that uh this week I'll probably start sending information out to parents um so that they can start
planning and preparing for those days the second thing that is not on your board report but I did want to speak about as well is last Friday uh March 7th I did submit uh gleno Silver Lake Public Schools request for adsis funds uh it was due 5:00 last Friday and we
got it I think I submitted it about noon um we do find out mid April if we awarded any of those dollars um I did request uh $310,000 uh 38774 to be very exact um that does not
mean that we receive all of those dollars back if we are approved they run that through the special education formula and we would receive up to 55% in reimbursement so as I find out more in the coming month I'm hoping to know by the the April board meeting um but I
will keep you guys updated on what that looks like um for us as a district and then what it looks like each two years that's when the adess window is open is every two years and and how I think that can snowball and how we can build upon that but those are our future
conversations so any questions for me um under the prom we are still planning on doing the accident scene here right yep I'll have that in mind report but that be coming up okay just to announce you know it it's it's going to be happening here at GSL on the 24th
of Y actually have a meeting on that tomorrow I hope you don't mind Matt I shared that schedule that you gave to us last and last month for the half days when we were planning for our track um
you know we're the our our practice are going to be early in the day so um but I hope you don't mind but I Shar some of that information it was a little bit ahead of schedule probably but no no problem at all so all right we'll move on to superintendent report thank you and uh
good afternoon everybody uh next Community Schools meeting will be on April 11th I reported on this the last time but uh you know thank you again for your flexibility with me and my attendance here last month um but wanted to just let you know that April 11th will be our career and job fair and I've
already got several uh organizations and businesses coming to that day and then this is going to be a part of our connection with our a Ani program uh Hutchinson junior high school will be joining us with us on that day um as Matt reported the next um early
dismissal days are going to be April 3rd and April 17th uh and then also want to make sure people are knowing officially April 2 boss I'm sorry April 2nd thank you sorry about that um uh March 5th we
had a snow day unfortunately sorry about that everybody but that will be then made up on April 21st which will be that Monday um so and that's kind of how the the calendar read and um let's knock on wood that our weather will cooperate for the rest of the school year um as we
were earlier our kindergarden numbers looked very promising and was very good good not uh good news and then finally not that it's um next or tomorrow but uh start thinking ahead to graduation it's starting to get to that point and reminder to the board that we do like to
have you there and that we need to have you guys hand out diplomas so it's not too early to talk about that I guess all right any questions for superintendent sandio all right any committee reports to report on
tonight hearing none we'll move on to approve the consent agenda action item do you have a motion I'll make that motion motion by Alicia do have a second second by John to approve the consent agenda uh all in favor any keep
by saying I I approve same sign motion carries no old business at this time we'll move on the new business um of information only donations received the following donations were accepted with appreciation uh looks like a lot of money going towards uh some equipment
and stuff in our in our buildings from a lot of the booster associations this time so thank you very much to them uh we'll move on to Item B uh Southwest service Cooperative agreement for 2025 and 2026 this is an action item the gleno Silver Lake School District
utilizes several Services provided by Southwest uh excuse me Southwest SW swwc service Cooperative um the the following services are recommended by the administrators um health and sa Safety
Management assistance uh for 2025 2526 would be 3866 same as 2425 Regional management information center Mars and other Revenue reporting systems uh s a slight slight increase from 26990 to 2791
1898 um student data privacy programs um slight increase there too from 1545 to 1950 uh special education services uh about a $40,000 $443,000 increase there
there um Behavioral Analyst options for this there's a large increase there um 8580 looks like that goes up to about 18,000 um Director of Finance I check will provide some more information on this so thanks Jason um so yes um
looking at the contract for Southwest West Central who we've been with for over 20 plus years um it is an increase of 14.05% um from last year um last or from this Year's contract this year's contract from the previous year was a
25.8% increase um the increases are mostly you're going to find in the special education services um when I asked for numbers we service about 88 students in um OT and then occupational therapy and about 24 students in um PT
along with def de and hard a hearing um was um an increase of one student um so that's where your increases are going to see in the special education Services um the behavioral analysis Services we would do option b which we did this year which is 60 hours um after talking with
admin they've like to see this change to option C um which is 120 hours so that's why the increase of 18,000 um and I've asked Mr Butler to kind of explain that a little bit more of what the behavioral analy services are so um the behavior analyst will work
on a on a six-h hour day so that'll be an increase from 10 days to 20 days um if approved you know we're seeing a significant increase in um in student behaviors um you know and I can certainly say especially at the the the
prek and early Elementary level so with with a a chunk of these hours we want to have a significant amount of time spent at prek looking at um current three-year-olds foury olds and then 5-year-olds who who are not eligible um for kindergarten and um do do a little
bit more of prevention there um we've had a an increase in the request for doing fbas across all levels functional Behavior assessments for kids and um so if if approved we we will we will um use
those hours for the benefit of of kids as our staff um support them throughout next year so do you have any questions on that I'll be being close in that very close in the special ed situation I do appreciate the extra time that you guys are thinking about and I think that'll
be very it'll be helpful anything there can help so and you get a little bit better deal by prepaid knowing that you're going to more more than likely use it so that's that's why we're we're kind of doing doing this also if we
would have stayed at option b um it would have been $10,000 so $8,000 for that extra 60 hours I mean it's not it's not half of it but at least it's a little more Savings of doing going to the 120
hours on the extra other thing usually is um with the co-op we always have a technology fee in there but this year um since we switched to Southwest West Central we already approved that um technology um and that's pretty much set through FY 29 um and just so you know
that our technology cost was $2,632 compared to the 35,000 that we used to pay lctn any other questions on that contract and that was to be expected when we did this that was one of the things that uh when that Cooperative
dissolve we kind of figured by moving in with Southwest West Central you would see a a decrease in that cost so I've had a little bit experience with just in the last couple months here um in a few meetings um with this with this
behavioral stuff and um I know how it affects staff um I understand that you know um I affects how it affects other students that are not part of the program I understand how it affect even affects the child
individually and um I appreciate all that and I think that um if it's just a continuing Trend which it seems like it is that we we need to get out in front of this um we need to um do stuff to make sure that
um we're doing the be Behavior Analysis ahead of time and trying to figure out this program and figuring out these situations before they um as best we can yep as best we can so so to kind of piggyback that you know
the need is obviously there our child count is down so from a budgeting standpoint I understand what you're saying with regard to you know the shifting sort of of the dollars from the little crow helping to you know provide
the funding mechanism for this as well as the mechanisms that were already in place but kind of to John's point I mean this will give us some additional information and stuff in the screening proactively but then beyond that I think
we need to start formulating the plan of okay when we collect this data what are we going to do and what are the costs that are going to be um acred with some of those needs that may become identified and just the funding mechanisms as well as far as federal and
state funding questionable and and how that's going to look for the district so you know just some thoughts as far as getting out ahead of this as as much as we can and um you know being able to provide this special um support but
also in the same sense providing the funding for it or the the plan for the funding for it all right thanks everyone for your comments um we had had heard from director's zek at this time I'll ask for a
motion so Move Motion by Alicia do I have a second second second by Randy um for the contract with South swwc Service cooperative for the services as listed above for the 2526 school year

any questions or comments funding the funding for this is coming from the read act dollars correct that we have and so when those funds cease to exist the plan for the district
would either be to cut that position or have a plan for continuation of funding it but would be out of the general f general fund that is correct and then I guess it would depend on what the requirements from the state would be because right now they're saying you
need to have a literacy lead if they're going to cut the funding it'd be interesting to see what they have to say then but but that is correct so this would this position would be funded for how long as it stands now it's on as far as the money is going to
continue as it stands now okay I don't know there's no end date at this point yeah because it's required right okay all right so I have a motion by Randy second by Alicia to approve the posting of literacy lead uh all in favor

the third try of the 2425 school year for Miss D any questions or comments on this just somewhat of a unique situation doesn't happen all the time um just lack of numbers here for this third try and uh Education Minnesota GSL presented us
with anou which I think is probably a good idea just to outline what would happen specifically for this third try in this third try only and obviously allus need to get approved by the board so that's why it's in front of you tonight okay so her substituting
availability will that be for the secondary or or will that be for elementary and secondary District wide or what well more than likely it'll be secondary because pretty much every day there's an opening okay um but I we can
put her anywhere that we need her and then theou reads that it sunsets at the end of the third try correct and it would just make sense because she's going to have four other classes during that day yep so it'll be
