Thank you. >> Julie, do we have any uh >> um we won't be doing open forum at this time. Um members members of the public can speak to the board during the public input towards the end of the regular meeting. >> Understood. >> Tonight.
>> Okay. Uh we're looking at uh long-term facilities maintenance plan. Uh Matt, can you fill us in on that? >> Yeah. So the long-term facilities maintenance plan is something that we have to do or review every year, submit
to Department of Education. We're required to put a 10-year plan together. Um so it's nothing new. Uh we do this every year, but I thought I would just sort of circle back and do just a little review of this um since we're going to be talking about it tonight and we have
some unique circumstances or projects to do um that aren't necessarily an every year kind of thing. So, um Julie, the one called LTFM board. Okay. >> Something or other there in the middle.
Okay. So, just uh kind of a quick review and Alex, you can jump in and tell me if I'm if I get something wrong here, but um long-term facilities maintenance is revenue that we get uh for the purpose of deferred maintenance projects. That could be worn out carpet, it could be
painting, it could be rewiring something. um we can't use this money for new things. So, one of the things that happens when we're going through LTFM projects a lot of times is there has to be a determination whether um
that part of the project is new or not. Um so, the purpose is about preserving, it's about fixing um any kind of health and safety work, that type of thing uh we can pay for out of long-term facilities maintenance.
things like that. There's a formula that you can get there's an amount per pub. So as you can imagine as changes and goes down our LTM
but that also is offset by the fact that this building factor and the older your buildings are the more revenue we get and so based on where we're sitting for 26 27 numbers 31.3
that box Um that's the calculate how much revenue we get and um the board then has the job of adopting that plan
to submit that by July 31st. Um if we have money left over fund we have can carry that over but it's still a restricted account. So you could defer projects for, you know, 10 years,
put money aside as much as you could. Um to do things you approach. Um you can spend money and you can also borrow that.
not moving for you. >> So when we're going through the process of this work, there's an assessment that's usually a combination of our district staff for inance has a long list of projects that things he's aware
of. um monitoring the condition. Some of the things are surprises you looking that out then we do sometimes some things are planned
out. So one of the things that we do for instance is we have um money signing right. So we're going from school to school and repaint
towns like that. We keep track of where those needs are. Second look at all the sequencing the planning all the scope of all the things we need to do and prioritize. Um we have a
facilities committee and here um trying to go over those needs there and help with our best financing options whether it's put money aside if we can more
approved by really large plants or large projects commissioner The loss of responsible attorney that I said
that finance projects um pay as you go like we do with painting we do some every single year we're not money painting projects that means we're not paying interest Um but sometimes we have a really big project up all that money
and there's nothing left to do and the other things that might come up. There's usually some sort of balance between uh pays and pro funding that we get every year and funding that we're
talking about financing this for a few years um because roofs across the state were aging and roofs are expensive and rally
all of a district for so 1.4 million. Um, we could have a roof, one roof that cost that much. And so that would be great.
So, um, districts across the state were really in line and for years, the state has had a separate way to handle larger air quality projects. project was over $100,000,
the commissioner could approve that and you could access funding that didn't affect your relative allocation. And the legislation this last session opened that up, provided that same level
of flexibility or option for projects. So that permits the commissioner to approve this authority. Um option for these larger projects the board district process to get that
approved with it. There are conditions there and then we have obligations we have to meet tonight. What we'll do then is um we're going to take a little bit of a walk
through our roofing and air quality. So this is the part that's not we don't do every year. We don't look at large scale projects. The last skill project was the indoor air quality project at Grand
Rap from 2021 I think is when that was that uh it started in 2022 summer of 22 or 23
24 year So sorry we have a larger project from go through some of the same information going through
what we did. Um then walk through the financing plan that we discussed for how we're going to pay for this part of the project. Um and I think you know I listed here some things that we kept
in mind as we were considering the best way about financing this. Um, one is we wanted to take care of the roofs and the needs we have but also not take care of things that wait. So we had a roof that has five years left. We are going to fix
it this year. Um, we wanted to consider the impact now but also the impact in the future. We, you know, a lot of times the teacher works and one of the things that I've seen school districts do is they get into a
situation where they're borrowing routine repairs. So you don't want to be grant taxpayers absorb. So we'll be smart about that was important and um we also
kept that you know a 10ear car last seven years. So roof don't last forever. So we looked at 15 to 20 year consensus that 20 years is really
getting out there towards the end of the life roof and earlier. So these are some of the factors in mind that's during the board session in the actual board meeting
the LTF plan is you have again we can do this every year this year is a little bit different because of the uh larger projects that we're this one. So that's really what's in
store for tonight. All right. Any questions on any of that? Anyway, no obvious people. Yeah, there's a lot of factors. We're sitting in the middle of this
complicated scenario. We have districts with that operating for you know someday hopefully we will we have this big um we have all these you know the building we're in now we have some air
quality issues um so there's all these factors that go into play here long term you know are there other educational improvements that make our school district our high schools need some attention that work should be here all Those things have to be taken in
consideration. I think I think we came up with pretty good plan. I think first um step one is on the call. He's been working on the facilities evaluation. He's going to talk a little bit about how we ended up where we're at with the
um the roof project here that we think we need to move forward with. So he's gonna talk through that and then at the talk about what really >> you know we could hear though
Mad Yeah. >> See here. >> Yeah. >> Let's see. I'm turn both these Can we hear you again? Try talking. >> Not bad, but it's not great.
>> I'm turning these all the way up here. Let's see. >> I project Business development special is my title. I've been on the implementation side project. So I used to lead the construction side
for some starting to work in place in place where he's been so guys. like you can see how
to sustain. >> There we go. >> Okay. So, recap of the scope where we had to prepare. So the the roughing scope what we started out with was you know part of that legislation process that
superintendent started but we did a real analysis of your guys's uh entire districtwide and that was from an age an age viewpoint. Um from that age viewpoint that was you know we kind of came up with and this is before we were
stepping foot on the roofs. We didn't do deep dive inspections at that point. It was just age driven and we're up just just over 250 at that point. From there uh to the to
third party uh roofing contractor and and they also do assessments. So they did their assessment they did samples and more detailed report and then that one is the one that came to about 12
months. All right. And from there, so fast forward another few months now, we do a walk through with that walk and determine really district. So you can probably see paper
trail at the bottom of you know the concept just age related report and then our walk through you know we just under that $10 million I didn't say what changed there's a couple of them that I'll get to
as alternates there's really good time then um you might be able to do a couple of these get a little bit more done for you see some of maps just to show you what areas
>> Nathan while you're doing that I saw point out you know the the goal was really cost 10 million so that was the challenge to get between 9 and 10. So they sh about $2.5
million um off the project to try to put the training cost down while shortterm We want to make sure that's going to critical. >> Yes. So getting into the high school,
these are the areas this is actually a little more straightforward. These areas all needed replacement. So we were able to walk through the other way for an example that left that was a
call out as good but you'll see that it's all pulling away all the good that's the high school and what you see in red and that gets to the fabric. That's the
middle school, you know, the first pass. It looked it appeared like the whole building. Um, and again, after we did our deeper dive, it's you know, some of those orange areas are newer. Um, all those like have the arrow to repairs. We
are going to put there was money in budget to do some repairs along that side because we have lots of leaks where that tie is right there. Um in addition to that those four areas would as an alternate. So if if come in variously it would be nice to have the whole building
under one one new assembly but ideally if needed those are new they can remain as as wet spots. So was one that was not on the radar
originally just due to the age of it but brought up some points one of our facilities meetings you can see the roof was in a lot of district areas and Let me see my cursor. These two are the
19 and the rest will be as alternates in there. So that's how you walk it, you know, like okay, it's this area. You will have to do a little bit more care when that arrow
touches there. Water cooling, but it's actually what your scupper is blocked off to fix your scupper and probably divert the water a little bit farther because there's a looks like it's
diverted. So, a little bit of maintenance work there. That's the SC. And then southwest where you guys are at um is is the area here. So, you're plant north side and plant south side.
That one was that one's pretty pretty straightforward. We have a couple things to note. So as we get into this process, we start asking contractors of their backlog at the workload, how much they can handle. So right now with the
conditions of the list, we have Robert Elington and Southwest for 2020 summer of 2027 and then high school at Big Fork for 2028. Any questions on building before I jump into
the indoor air quality? Thank you for discussions at the facilities. >> Um, you know, we did have some discussion about um the fact that I think we want to look at couple of those
groups is a discussion point of making sure that some of them were selected not because and we have to ask the question a little bit. Why is that condition preemptive
over their age? So, let's let's make sure we're looking at it and not just telling replace the same thing, but step back. Okay, is there something that's going on
here that's causing us to fail prematurely should be looking? So, we did have discussion about that. important. That's all. All right, we'll jump over to the indoor
air quality portion. You guys still see screen and across? Okay. >> Yes. All right. Um we were hired to do a recision
of the uh building there. I'll try to do a 50,000 foot pages, but it's um the assessment found that the age back infrastructure is like well beyond it expected lifespan
repairs are becoming more and more ineffective and costly. So five of the seven air units including one from 1958 show deterioration. uh some of the controls are failing. There's air flow
deficiencies and then few that have the VFDs are failing. That's a variable frequency drive allows a little bit more control. someone that has an old original steam steam system and that's some significant operational
issues energy issues and then some compliance items as it relates to the exhaust. Uh so beyond equipment here of operational efficiency that's
control just balancing the heating system performance overall and then several spaces receive don't receive design air flow and then in somewhere there the several spaces don't
even have anything else outside air. So for proper ventilation, you're supposed to get the fresh air coming in. In addition to that, there's a lot of control issues as far as things just not not working that's preventing the system from operating as intended. So, and it
all really boils down to uh it's these these devices have aged out service. So, that that's the 50,000 of the report some
work done in 2004. Um and But the scope that we're looking at for this thing is again to the superintendent's point there's there's you know we're in a dollar threshold of what's reality
that's target 1.1 air zero outside air right now. So we're highlighting locations and then like I said
for this thing is not only price which is in this price of one is in probably threshold But it's also facing with something you guys might do for replacing the boilers. That makes sense to start on this end of the building as
far as uh doing hot water version. That's that's it. So we're at one. So it's don't budget for the quality project is one. There's also there's also some $200,000 need
to help help the rest of the building that's not in in that first space and that is last you guys have any questions as far as the proposed scope that was so detail
I think Just two quick comments. One is um and mentioned this, we did make some investments. We moved in here, worked together. We knew at that time that wasn't sufficient to make this buildingable forever.
That was really feasible to be able to move into a used home. you move in knowing that there's trims finished and probably need to get replaced but you move in this year.
Um and I also you know demolished right now. Um you know these numbers are are big for any of us personally. Um the numbers building the issues that building
um you know inside out walls would have you know much beyond this. So, um I just want to make this point this and I also think that this number recognizes
we we don't know how long we're going to be in this building. Um whether that's five years or 15 years. Uh I think this is a good like it's a responsible investment knowing that you know we will be here we will be here for at least
five years. Um it also puts us in position but notable making invest. Thank you. Okay, so I said took a dive into what it is that we're
looking at funding or financing and there everybody here. So maybe several that um but to walk us through how does the funding finance time and if there are
other specific questions about them that process um this would be a great great person to ask. So now I'll hand over to you slides that you have for us.
Perfect. Thank you girls. Good afternoon everyone. Great to be with you all. There's a financial services company that's 100 years old. Things that we specialize in is assisting school districts and municipalities with bond issuance and
capital printing. I've been prepared for about 12 years, been in the world of public finance for about 17 years. Um I specialize in working with Minnesota school districts uh providing financial consulting services do some work in
Southakota as well but primarily uh within the state of Minnesota. Really appreciate the opportunity to be with you all tonight. Look forward to uh Pennsylvania this financing hopefully as a cover page of the
presentation. You'll see the cover. >> Yes. >> Awesome. So as alluded to we're looking at air quality project 569 and roofing to the tune of 9894 954
for a total project about a little over 11 million um funding mechanism as superintendent mentioned the introduction is an LTF bond the statuto reference is there
any time Right. Um that being said, the borrowing is proposed to be done as a single general obligation bond with two purposes. The rational are doing is first and foremost to minimize
finance costs by the first two and second we see in the current market there is a demand for larger debt issuances that should increase the audience of testifiers bonds and hopefully reduce interest
costs of these on one bond issue versus selling the smaller indoor air quality million and tend over $350 per pupil.
You have based on the budget 26 4,131 pupil units which is the number of students that you students in grades 7 through 12 receiving 1.2 factor building of 31.3
$38 of revenue of 35 or higher. So right now% of that free projected to receive the full revenue
getting above that 35 million you have this year from 1.4 million% of that service existing for which the last payment will be done in fiscal year
2037. What we're talking about tonight, I want to go back quickly. What we're talking about tonight with the proposed financing would not leverage any of the 1.4 million of annual revenue that she
was addition to the scene because of uh 2025 legislation that was passed um prior to 2025. Fire safety indoor airbund,000 site to revenue above the $38.
2025 legislation added single sight road repairs greater than 100,000 can also be funed above the 380 that you receive which is is great news for especially the real district smaller as mentioned that don't
revenue there was a push prior to 2025 for two or three years to increase the $380 more revenue that got pretty legislative The compromise was to allow list bey
campus keep improving the existing LF. So within your school board meeting tonight that's later than July 31st to get this money added for taxes next year in 2027.
This plan consists of LTFM expenditure application which is a expenditure spreadsheet that puts out provide the required areas for both proposed growth projects
application which again is an Excel strategy shows you get over the course of the 10 years and also includes the proposed debt payments for the LC financing there will be what's called an intense resolution
for the bonds. This resolution contains a paragraphing the LCF and also contain what's called the notice of intent that will need to be published in the district newspaper. Our last two items is a primary service
schedule statement of insurance that you intend to use the revenue as allowed by state law. Any questions there before I move on? Any questions?
I guess just like my understanding is that you know need to have this July 31st, but it is not a set, you know, trying to dial things in a little more detail.
>> That's 100% correct. Yeah. financing you can always go lower if you decide to do less contemp Thank you. Thank you. So that's why the district's outstanding general
obligation that impacts the levy. When I say impacts the levy is additional levying beyond not payable for existing. So for example, your existing health that's payable for the revenue would not be
included in these bars because they bar the small black bars is the proposed indoor air quality payments. This bar here is creates a great opportunity for you
as a school that a couple years ago the district paid off your other post other posts that after those bonds were paid off there was about a million474
left in that debt service money to transfer that to the normal debt service used for debt which is called month seven. This can't be in that 1.4 billion is being used to front the first
year fronting this de first and foremost principle up front. Secondly it provides a slight leuction in year two and also reduction from 31
to 32 in place to provide flexibility to the future knowing that you might have others coming out. Yeah. So, essentially this goes back to when we borrow, we borrow money and levy
for those payments. were required to levy 105% of what the payment is in case people don't pay the properties taxes and so on that we collect enough to make a payment that 1.4 4 million is
an accumulation of all 5% and because we collect all that money we have we can't just we can't use it towards something you know even to pay it has to
essentially giving money back by using that money to make a larger funding So it's kind of like a big piece of project
without it costing the tax money they unique just for this one Right. If we don't move on this basically then structure looks different
and you know >> we we would have to do this. you would have to do this this bar either way. It's just that if we don't structure structuring this road project
with that in mind enables us like if this was three years from now we wouldn't be able to do this. Yeah. The timing of this is really important. There are ways that we can adjust the timing to some degree but we can't
the return This is the option that we feels like money because we're taking a big project takes really takes advantage of this. um structures are now in the future in
ways that don't over you know years from um creates um some of them project was too big of probably the finance was too long. Um this is would be like the best. I mean
death and those step number There's probably somebody want to make a adjustment So moving to in the left portion of the
slide you can see the sources and uses of funding the private fund is 11 million 12 million delivering the expenses as your mortgage cost financing that those are
essentially being picked up with what's called will be up excuse me what's called original issue premium then in this market we're seeing the demand from investors to pay more than face value for your bonds that generates this
original issue premium that can be used to offset the issuance expenses that will basically borrowing the same amount as the amount that you're funding in construction for proposed debt payments over the 15 years. You can see in the right portion
quality the growth and then of course 1.4 billion that's being produced that amount will be levied on taxpayers next year and taxes 274 with a little over 15 million in total principal interest
rate of a little over 4% that includes a 4% cushion on top of current rates in the event that We see interest rates rise between now and the time that we're able to bring the bonds to the market.
That first year of 44,2s to the annual tax on this slide. You'll see various property types with various market values shown on this slide. residential
homestead at 307,470. So you may wonder where does that value come from? According to the Minnesota that's the average size residential homestead property area schools that annual tax impact the
first year is $4 or a little over four bucks a month. If we look at a commercial industrial valued at 400,000 for example, you can see 121 or a little over 10 bucks.
If you compare the $400,000 home to the $400,000 commercial, you'll see commercial pays more because this what's called an capacity base levy, which uses a class rate system industrial has a higher class rate than those homestead.
You can see various other property types the bottom from egg to school credit you'll see that 70% the proposed LTF bonds do qualify for a school credit for two properties we'll see that reduction
that if you're looking at $4,000 that 10 cents annually that 70% So I want to touch I mentioned earlier the intent resolution for the bonds. Just want to quickly summarize what that
resolution is. Uh that's the first school board action that initiates the bond issuance process establishes a not to exceed borrowing of building 130. again can't see this allowance or less
if there are changes to the projects. So it's a maximum cost of 4 and a half% authorizes the superintendent officer to exeute what's called a bond purchase agreement. So that bond
purchase agreement is signed after pair brings to the bonds to the market for pricing in which we lock in the borrowing and pay structure. that that signature is the informal approval of the financing
goes the school board as a whole to adopt what's called the ratifying or awarding resolution which is essentially the formal approval of the financing authorizes participation in the Minnesota school district program that
says that for some reason you don't collect tax levy to make the debt payment the state will step in make that payment on your behalf purchases being second to last plan and also authorized
to submit the plan for approval. And lastly, as I had mentioned earlier, exhibit A of the resolution is that notice of intent will be published in the district newspaper after the resolution.
So last slide here financing timeline July 20th the CP of course as I mentioned about the resolution for the bonds as well as the fun plan submit that plan to approval
publish the from there hoping to get approval by mid or late August simultaneously will be working with administration to obtain the necessary
information official statement. That's the offer we got that investor use to decide whether we're going to purchase bonds or not. General we want prep with standard course with the hope to bring the bonds to the market for pricing
around October 7 after the step purchase agreement will be signed with the board coming back with the regular schedule on October 19th to adopt a formal approval the awarding rep resolution and hopefully
get fun proceeds around November post. So I will pause there for any questions or discussion. Any questions, thoughts? >> Absolutely. So, you know, today we're going to not do
this number. Um um is is October 19 the only other real action that's needed then or was there other intermediate board action there's no substantial changes to the
project will not be any other October 19th >> okay the seven Emergency. Yes. Yep. Absolutely. Office. >> Um.
All right. I'm just Thank you. You know, I just I'll be struggling with this and I think that a few times decision now to
I have appreciated I'm not so um but you know But I do appreciate where you've got what was honestly there's still more
understandable um you know and and that a lot more for me There's, you know, we just got a lot other needs out there. We got to wrap our arms around it because we can't. I think that's the
challenge and that and that's the goal of this is to not go to the public every other year changing what we're asking of them and and vision for you know
I appreciate what's been done. I think it would be appropriate. Julie and I work on this, you know, in September. We should have the report by
their opinion by we session in September ahead of the October 7th meetings sort of see the so So that will get hand as well as
what the output is. as well. a long time. I I also I think we know for sure a lot of things we know for sure really strongly about and there's really no There's no way around we have to keep
water. I think that's one of the reasons why they suggest the legislature said yes. And you know if you keep order then I think the question are we financing this in the best way
That's >> I mean >> well it's not book because I thank you very much for your appreciation. for your follow
the >> Thank you. Just give me one minute and we'll get started again. We'll be back for >> Okay, we're ready. >> We're ready to go again. >> Um, I know you
are. I think you know based on the agenda I would be surprised we're not voting on this by 7 o'clock. So if you have, you know, 20 25 minutes still um if somebody came up meeting
with the regular board meeting to order the flag of the United States of America to the republic for it stands under God indivisible
for all. Uh I would look for approval of the amended agenda. Uh there are two uh items which have been removed from the previous
um questions by time. The uh the agenda is approved as it stands. Uh clear we got state
today and it is advanc Um and u we're missing um Melissa and uh our next um agenda is
education principles reports. Good evening and thank you for this opportunity. It's always fun to share. Um I missed the last one due to unforeseen circumstance. So here we are. Um this is going to be a
little bit reflective 26 and then also 267. But on a personal note, I just want to say thank you. This past spring was the best we have seen in our five years just because of a
lack of production and we appreciate the diligence and what you guys have done because of previously um just real quick recap three goals and those goals are developed through a
district strategy team and a healthy leadership team and collaboration with those groups and also a staff that works really hard. So here's the recap of our goals from the previous year. goal number one increase of our science
basic class. I think it's with great confidence I can say ELA is craft and it's been interesting over the last couple years we've turned over some staff to change roles and leading the district whatever that may be but ELA
with written wisdom is doing amazingly well with their implementation science is going well with implementation but we're still looking for some improvement and just using that with enthusiasm
what we're doing with it. So that's goal number one. Goal number two, decreasing overall failure rates from an average of 29% which a quarter to a 15%.
And again to start out at 29% last fall after quarter number one. Second quarter we got down to 18%. And third quarter we had down 16%. You can see the triangle we were all very hopeful but unfortunately after the
fourth quarter we back up to what I don't know. I can assure you that the reason your kids are at risk. So we really like the trend. Um the interesting thing about that it's like peing back
a whole bunch and as we kind of dove into this we found that we also had a disproportionate number of students on so this is going to be for 26.7 because as we reduce as you know we always talk
about communication communication communication communication with student communication with staff really come down to staff, special ed staff, main staff and vice versa and just having you know what are we doing for our kids? How
are we supporting them when they have special? So that certainly is goal number three based on that staff will implement evidence based practices as they identified in our archer
previous archer research. Um so that's Ryan and myself walking to class we figures in school year and what we observe was about 85 to 80% the value of using
based classroom type of practices. So there's a margin of I have to share if I go into a classroom only so many classes for example
so some of it is not so it's not necessarily 15% it just um one of the interesting things okay moving forward 26 27
this is kind of a big deal so research I don't know how to put this but like gener the new generation of student is so reliant on technology that it seems the the intelligence to point
so what we're doing um we're looking at a deeper first initiative for less dependence on technology. Um through board support we received rob which has been amazing. Um parents love
it. They applaud it. They want their kids to have this technology but also iPads in school and and kids have really learned a lot. They're getting on to sites and things that can still message with the school issued device. So So we're we're really
looking at one of the key things like This is my desk in the corner of the teacher based on make and these are some of the simple practices that we're trying to to initiate in this new realm of balancing
technology with paper first balance. So we're really excited about this. Um this was basically developed through our leadership team. So this is a collaborative collaborative
initiative and we're just really excited because we think it's help. So with that being said there >> question always There has to be a paper alternative for all the technology. So I
don't think it's a huge lift. I just think that we need to prioritize more kids doing more with this instead of as much with this. So that's that's a good question, but I don't think it's a quantum leap to get from where we're at now to to a paper first initiative.
>> Question. Absolutely. And it is a little thing. And again, I just want to as we play in the classroom, I just want to reemphasize kids get really really crafty and pay attention to what you're looking at and
we're teaching. I was last year. Just heads up able to be able to have that piece of paper. It's an appreciation for me to you guys
and then also for us to be hoping for only helping us. Any else? I don't want that. not being used tool any.
So I think it's important to uh find that find that continue that are going to be open Obviously, compared to we will get whatever we're
using for kids. >> Okay. >> We had a question for them. Uh, thank you very much for the uh work to share with your staff
support. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Uh approval of the minutes from June 29th by
second by Mark. Any questions or comments on the meeting? All in favor with uh Same for activities.
the uh minutes of June 29th are we have a consent agenda which is has been published in advance with
the number of uh uh this is these items acted together in one motion And there
you second by Tom the approved. We uh have I think perhaps I think it's the final contract uh in the uh upcoming year. Um it's the

policy. available partnerships to improve boys and girls of the North um lease. We've been at least six days school for
a number of years to the boys club. Um the lease that is included in the path is essentially an extension of that um expires. It's an extension through December as far as they were comfortable at least
their operations to at least the same question for comments. Um just kind of future question
right now for them. What would be changed? How would we us see if they come back um the space that
they're using is after school. Um, we have some room set aside. So, I mean, we have some space for them. Um, if they came back and said, you know, we would like to
say we don't have the next day. So, we have some flexibility with it. So really second all in favor. approving the opposite

student support agreement and the technology agreement. Yeah, these are both these are both renewals. You've had this in the past. um they our services that were first
thing from is in the technology case you know we we're it's a little bit of a we're selling services then all the districts so it's a little bit
about this we've had previously student support that student support funds are specific statements questions. Certain
favor agreements by the same are then a process move forward. forward committee work
and reviews in earlier meetings now. >> Yeah. And one of the things that we agree might be a good idea is to bring this uh bring something back to this board
meeting for the board to approve. Um I tried to capture the agreements from the meeting or the workshop. The things that the board affirmed one of the things was priorities.
We talked about that session that's happened there for things there and then how the the next Um and so that talked about
approval and then I also sharing some communications that would go to the first case. Second case more.

at this point, Mendes on closing out the 256 year and focus forward. Uh we had trainings today with leaders people um and again tomorrow full days
today focused on some training tool that we're going to be using for ours this year. So we building up their capacity to be able to curriculum or peers in gicular
behavior practice. And so we able to write that into a brand. Um it's going to really make the process more efficient but also uh it's there's an opportunity there for not
only feedback to the teacher but the teacher conversation obserable grading practices this fall starting dialogue I'll
How we do we do we do when we do and what does it mean? Are we assessing the right things and we have a still model
of education and that model is just and so um just looking at thinking about grading. So that process fall some time getting ready
and similar we talked about building relationships last and so again that we had some support here today from compass which is
something here and I've been with our leaders for probably the first 10 years of my administrative career. I felt like this department of education was really only focused on compliance and testing and as
far as helping better resource. Now um we have someone here today who is focused around culture she resources and thinking discussion with
our team. We had someone here this morning who works on equables. She's going to help us along the way. Lucy was here. She walked over this last year
in our culture responsive leadership work and what we think about leadership as individuals. So support it feels really good. Tomorrow we're going to be um the last thing that we can say was we
just got an email which is a communication platform that is going to be migrated to currently we have one for newsletters for email one for parent teacher communication
for I think there's probably 10 of this and not only pretty a lot of noise. Um but we all platforms and um by moving to this
consolidated system we're going to be able to consolidate cost. So I'm looking forward to that fully um fully implemented also has some other features that we
don't have anywhere right now. So it has the ability to securely sign back to us. We don't have a streamline to do that. Um, you know, one of the jokes today was not to text somebody
email. Um, so I think that's when we're done. Um, so yeah, that was the last thing. Tomorrow is really about we're going to be spending some learning as leaders looking at this new curriculum from the
leader side. We'll be talking to people from Michigan about the changes in math standards. We'll be talking aboutations for uh teachers and then tomorrow
that data culture it's going to sessions. Um I think we have tomorrow. Thank you. Um meeting announcements uh
upcoming meetings are on the website and posted the school sites as well. Um any other distance that needs to come
forward today. >> No. >> All right.
