00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:17.199
for you. >> You want me to bring it? >> I haven't even looked it up. >> I don't have it. >> Do what? >> I don't have it with me. >> It's fine. I'll just send it to you electronically. >> Thank you. >> Okay. So, the time is 12:02 on June

2
00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:34.640
29th, 2026. And this is a meeting of the budget finance and warrant subcommittee. Chair statement. This meeting is being recorded by the budget finance and warrant subcommittee. If any other persons present are also recording, you must notify the chairperson at this time. We're called to order. Roll call

3
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:51.600
of members. Member Goodwin >> here. >> Member Webb >> here. >> And member JS, I am here. We are all present. Public comment. We have no members of the public with us wanting to comment now, but if someone shows up, we will move this item back up.

4
00:00:51.600 --> 00:01:14.720
Um the next item is approval of the June 22nd uh 2026 draft subcommittee meeting minutes. >> So moved. >> Seconded. Any discussion? Okay. And there was our regularly

5
00:01:14.720 --> 00:01:30.159
scheduled Zoom hiccup. So um in case there was any lapse in recording called for any discussion on subcommittee minutes did not hear any request for it. So all in favor >> I >> I >> that was unanimous. Those draft

6
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:47.759
subcommittee minutes are approved. Now um the real fun show the reason we're all here. Discussion of warrants paid and received in June. >> So did was it June or is it partially May? Um, oh, was it partially May? I'd need

7
00:01:47.759 --> 00:02:04.560
to look because the item is listed was June, but was there something end of May? >> I think I have I have stuff from 531. >> Oh, yeah. >> Written down. I on and I believe if I go into my docs because, you know, why would I put everything in one spot? That

8
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:20.000
would make way too much sense. >> Well, I guess we're including those as part of June because it was after our discussion meeting. >> Cool. >> Okay. Okay. Well, in that case, do you want to take us away with those main questions? >> Uh, video doorbell, I can't tell you. It

9
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:48.319
was purchased on May 19th for $346.68. I'm trying to figure out why we're purchasing video doorbells >> when we have a security system. >> I don't didn't write that down. In fact, should I say that was 531? >> Look for that myself.

10
00:02:48.319 --> 00:03:04.560
>> Yeah, go for it. I was like a little confused by that. And then um I already discussed part of this in our last budget warrant and finance meeting, the vehicles, like what our totals looking like for that monthly.

11
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:57.640
And then I noticed a bill in there from Sweet Transportation and it was postdated 2024. We talk about the video doorbell. >> No, I'm gonna have to do a search by the amount since we don't know the vendor.

12
00:04:01.040 --> 00:04:27.360
>> Uh, spray 4668. It was on May 19th. May 19th was the date. but I have on here warrants 531, but I'm seeing a warrant date of

13
00:04:27.360 --> 00:05:06.280
65. So maybe it's in that batch and I'm looking as well. >> You're fine. Sorry for not writing that down. I think it's this one. >> Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Don't do that.

14
00:05:06.320 --> 00:05:45.919
>> It have been on Amazon. I would guess it would be maybe it's maybe it's 3516 or it could be something that's wrapped in with something else. I guess it was Amazon. Do we have those those here that batch

15
00:05:45.919 --> 00:06:34.880
or no? Google. This part of the meeting is incredibly exciting. >> What about the sweet transportation? >> Yeah, >> that was in the same batch. I had a >> start date of 102124 to 12624 for

16
00:06:34.880 --> 00:06:51.360
transportation. >> Yep. It's coming out of the transportation revolving account which leads me to believe that it was either a bill that was ever processed in FY25 >> 24 >> because it start date of being 102124

17
00:06:51.360 --> 00:07:18.560
would be for year 25. this topic. >> Okay, I apologize about that. I'm their bill is very weird. It's the start date is the date that the student started at the school, but the billing is for the transportation for April to the April 1st to April 30th, 2026. So when it says

18
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:46.479
the start date, that date that the student started at the school would be the potential. >> It could be I would just I'm going to guess it's Amazon. >> Yeah. I mean, I had like the same question about the GoDaddy, which we already

19
00:07:46.479 --> 00:08:13.840
answered that. >> Only thing we didn't answer about GoDaddy was who over who actually runs it. Is it everybody has access to it or is there one person? >> Might be a good one for Roland. Well, I mean

20
00:08:13.840 --> 00:08:31.680
>> it's our GPS K12 website. I would just hope that it's not a single person using the email address just assigned to them because losing C access if you lose >> yes >> if TMS was doing or we were

21
00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:47.279
>> it wasn't sure >> yeah we don't do >> you don't do GPS K so Ian was test so >> okay just checking >> is the main door camera at a >> and That's running off a doorbell

22
00:08:47.279 --> 00:09:06.000
camera, not the entire system we have. >> Trying to remember if they were part of the system >> or is that for their wrap pro for their after school program? >> It just seems weird to me that we have like this entire like elaborate security

23
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:21.200
system in all of our buildings and we're buying a video doorbell camera. >> There may be a door that like a side door that they're using or something. Yeah, but I mean the cameras cover like 360 the whole entire property >> that get

24
00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:37.839
>> Well, I wonder if it has to do with the doorbell function of it. >> Think we'd have that fixed if it was a front door. >> The cameras that are around the schools do not have a doorbell. >> The front door does,

25
00:09:37.839 --> 00:09:53.360
>> right? But if you're using the back door for recess or something, >> Yeah. a doorbell to know that they need to be let in >> is nice instead of >> but they have their cards that are attached to that door. >> I don't know. It's a good question.

26
00:09:53.360 --> 00:10:11.519
Sorry. Okay. No, it's >> somebody felt the need for that. So, >> so we know it's at AAL and we'll get the answer unless >> Okay.

27
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:34.079
What was our batch before? This is That's all I had for the that group. I have one for the most recent group, but I don't know if anyone has questions for >> I have two for the newest batch.

28
00:10:34.079 --> 00:10:50.079
>> Go for it. I'll let you go first. We'll see if we have the same question. So, one is the $30,000, which is a sports. Something was purchased. At first, it was weird that it was exactly $30,000, which was strange. >> And wondering what we bought and hoping

29
00:10:50.079 --> 00:11:06.320
it's something good for fun. >> It's the uh we it's similar to describe it as a repost machine, but it's the arbiter boards for paying reps. So we put a balance on there and something

30
00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:22.000
>> or we could have games with that. >> Okay. So So how much do the refs cost? Is that the total cost? >> No. >> Reps vary. >> Yeah. It'd be almost free hopefully the entire year. >> Okay. So, so it's

31
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:38.560
>> it really is just like maybe we putting it in Arbory Sports. We'll pay the refs directly and it's just a declining balance and we end up having once it gets low replenishing. >> Wow. I didn't know refs got that much. >> Like you said, >> well, but think about it. If you've got

32
00:11:38.560 --> 00:11:58.720
multiple reps per game and you're doing a lot of games and if you go into postseason >> and there's there might be insurance >> brass make any like I know for like soccer youth league you're talking like 25 an hour for youth league

33
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:14.800
>> more than prepar >> uh an hour and then I know when you're talking like high school sports you're likely looking 75 to 150 to 200. >> Okay. >> And then you don't even want to talk about what refs make when they are coaching like a tournament. We're

34
00:12:14.800 --> 00:12:30.800
talking like $500 for like a seven hour day. You want to get you want to get into a side hustle, start rapping. >> 500 for six hours. >> A lot of roughing in schools. I really clearly weren't pay. And

35
00:12:30.800 --> 00:12:46.639
>> then my second one was the collaborative. There were a bunch of bills for the collaborative and I wanted to know what they were for. And it did how much we paid the collaborative for the listening session at Federal Street. I wasn't sure >> that was in this batch.

36
00:12:46.639 --> 00:13:01.519
>> Well, I'm not sure if we are paying like the like the refs. Are we paying the collaborative of an annual fee to be a member? And are certain things covered by our membership? That used to be the way they used to get paid, but I'm

37
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:31.320
seeing a lot of bills. So, and they're not little ones. They're like three grand here, three grand there. Now, by the time you're done, you're going, "Um, what are we paying for?" >> There's a couple of them. >> One tuition about Tom Academy.

38
00:13:32.959 --> 00:13:57.120
Okay. >> The other is the bridging to belonging community building circles for all staff. So that's PD for 20. That was $25,331.96. That goes back to my question I guess

39
00:13:57.120 --> 00:14:13.600
and that's for Stephen or how much we're spending every year on social justice and to whom and what is their background because this is starting to add up to you could get another administrator for

40
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:30.560
what we're paying them or hire somebody full time. >> We did have >> I know I remember >> and it didn't work out. I do remember at the stable actually but I'm just saying I mean

41
00:14:30.560 --> 00:15:02.680
yeah >> yeah like like what is the total we've given the collaborative this year I mean I think it's a lot And I remember in the day you just paid them a fee. It's wonderful. Not anymore.

42
00:15:08.160 --> 00:15:46.320
Looking at we're on 6:15 now. will soon enough. >> So the thing about when you're saying is there are various things that we have paid the collaborative for. So it ranges from PD to tuition to >> um both

43
00:15:46.320 --> 00:16:11.440
>> there's a they complete I guess like a payment for super evaluation um they work with the school committee on some self-reflective work. So I mean we can give you the total but

44
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:28.079
it's just >> it's merged. >> It's right. So if you wanted it by like program per say >> yeah the social justice piece I guess the restorative >> so I guess that would all be under PD correct. >> I mean they do other PD they did some PD

45
00:16:28.079 --> 00:16:45.600
for like creating AI policy. Um, and I see one specifically that says restorative planning support and capacity building for $45,387.50. Um, but there could be other things that

46
00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:59.519
were done subsequent prior to that, but it would just take some going through, okay, >> seeing what these various descriptions are. >> I guess I want to know the cost of something that we've been supposedly

47
00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:19.439
working on for six years. Um, and the money has been spent for six years and it's still not like everybody talks about it being new, but it's six years.

48
00:17:19.439 --> 00:17:35.760
You're not new after six years. That's that warranty is worn out. So, I guess I'm looking at that. >> Talking about restorative package. He's just trying to figure out like how much we are spending on this practice a year and what we've spent in the last

49
00:17:35.760 --> 00:17:50.720
six years. >> Well, it would be great six years and I don't know if they can do that, but if we can just do this year to find out how much we're spending >> specifically on that one topic >> on that initiative. Yes. Because

50
00:17:50.720 --> 00:18:06.000
a lot of these types of things used to have grants that funded them. Schools were not funding these things and now we're, you know, it could be a teaching position. It could be a principal position. Um, and if that's This is why

51
00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:22.640
people hire people in house who have skill. So, >> what is the date of this? >> I think they're just like >> there's a bunch of them in the It's like 3,000. >> Maybe look at the cover sheet. I would guess. >> I was looking at the cover sheet. >> That's my only suggestion

52
00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:40.240
>> because I thought that it was from >> It just says collaborative. >> Yeah. I thought it was from the I think we were talking the June 18th batch. >> Yeah, I just saw them before I came over here. >> So, it's the BA batch that just came through this today. >> Oh, today I'm talking I'm fresh.

53
00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:56.000
>> Okay, you now I'm confused, but that's Sorry. >> Yeah, cuz I was looking >> I'm on the 618 warrants right now. >> Okay, the 618 I'm not actually seeing collaborative. I'm seeing center for school. I saw that's for the center for

54
00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:16.880
school one is like the transportation >> the one collaborative from the 18 which is the 664550. >> So I wonder if that's what we're paying monthly for that restorative program. >> We'll just have to go through the detail. No problem. I mean Stephen might

55
00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:32.320
have it. >> Yes. He may know exactly >> and it may be time to walk away and hire somebody >> or to really look at what we're doing. >> Can I go back to the 618 months?

56
00:19:32.320 --> 00:19:51.760
>> Yes. Thank you. >> I don't really feel like some of these questions have anything to do with you guys. They're just questions I had. So, I don't even think you can answer all of these, but >> that won't make it up. >> You can just you can attempt to make it up. I guess I like keep circling back to

57
00:19:51.760 --> 00:20:06.160
why are we tracking food service vehicles? We don't track our maintenance vehicles. Like, we're not tracking, not trying to say like our subcontractors. Like, are they really just going from here to four corners and not stopping at, you know, Duncan for a drink? So, I

58
00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:24.160
just um I continue to like have um what is the word I want to use? like >> emotional issues with tracking food service when we're not tracking other vehicles. That's it. Also, I noticed charges for wobbly stools. I feel like again, this would be more of a Roland

59
00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:39.039
Carol question like are we checking with other buildings before we're purchasing things because I know we have some wobbly stools hanging around in some buildings. Um, >> can we go back to the tracking for a minute? >> Sure. assume you won't. I I know why,

60
00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:55.679
but I it doesn't sit well if we're only tracking one group and not everyone. >> We're not travel tracks every one of their buses. >> It's not travel cause. This is a subsparate food service >> thing. Liberal word,

61
00:20:55.679 --> 00:21:12.000
but whatever reason, Greta, the former food service director, had some concerns regarding >> and so they started doing this. >> Yes. Um, >> is it still needed now is the main objective. >> There was an issue when Greta came on of

62
00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:28.880
people taking personal vehicles home, but Greta was here for how many years? Three, four, >> about three. >> About three. Um, and I think the issue was or has been resolved, I would hope. But then again, we also had >> we've had that issue >> with maintenance. So I don't

63
00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:46.039
>> Exactly. We've had that issue repeatedly over the last 15 years. People take them across state lines and then they break. >> We can ask Kristen, the new food service director, her tracking.

64
00:21:46.640 --> 00:22:06.880
Um, I say this one out loud because it's in my thing. Um, I know that the position and again this is personnel so but I'm not getting to people just to be clear but the

65
00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:22.880
assistant director of people service was a part-time position and now I've noticed it's now listed as a full-time position and I'm going to say as a parent not a school committee member from my understanding um that person was brought in to help get us cleared up and then that position was going to be

66
00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:40.240
eliminated and now I see it as full-time position. So, I'm just confused about that. Um, >> could just be it was posted wrong. >> It could be it was posted wrong. I would like to >> open meeting purposes.

67
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:55.200
>> I didn't say a person. >> But, no, I'm just thinking for open meeting laws that this might be a little bit too far away from warrants. >> Yes. >> For us to discuss. It was more of a budget a budget question, >> you know, like I know we did what you

68
00:22:55.200 --> 00:23:11.200
called it what level level funding >> level >> level service and level service our prior funding for that was >> the budget piece. So >> there are 243 IEPs and five administrators. That is a big >> but >> piece again

69
00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:28.880
>> we did not put this agenda so I don't >> okay put that on a future agenda we just have to question >> I noticed that AEL had a magic show and face painting usually from my PTO experience that comes out of your PTO

70
00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:44.799
side I'm wondering where that money came out of in the warrants from the 618 batch >> came out of their field trip account, >> but that wouldn't be a field trip because it's not fully inclusive for every student to participate in.

71
00:23:44.799 --> 00:24:01.200
>> That field trip account is fall under the desi function code of the 3000 series, which is student activity. So that is >> not >> but we did not provide transfer. This is not you, but we didn't provide transportation to make sure every family could have attended >> but yet we're paying it but we would

72
00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:17.279
didn't give access to every family. You know that kind of trips say is a a misnomer. One of the things that needs cleaned up in the sense that it covers field trips plus it is all student activity. >> I mean I'm fair game for in school if

73
00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:34.000
we're having like an inschool conversation where all students are like present for that. But um again, we didn't offer transportation for families who had limited transportation to come and it was an afterchool event which wasn't inclusive to all of our students.

74
00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:53.080
So that's my concern with stuff like that. Again, nothing to really um another one I had, this is a price thing on 618. If we go to cosmascus, I can give you more information. Um 06617

75
00:24:53.440 --> 00:25:09.039
and 06656 are the same exact amount down to the penny and bill. And one is for just roots and one is for going to an Amoris museum. It's quite a difference. >> What was what did you say?

76
00:25:09.039 --> 00:25:36.360
>> It's called just roots. >> Just roots. >> Just roots. >> Literally to the penny. The amounts of 43563 literally to the penny 06656 >> cuz Mus may owe us something.

77
00:25:37.360 --> 00:26:16.720
And there's also another one for the same if you look at 06614. So 06614 06531 and 46656 those are all the same. All right. Number four. >> Is it the same school? >> Nope.

78
00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:52.240
>> Interesting. >> I don't think it is. I mean, I would need to go in here and look again. So they have a flat rate for fuel trips and then if it goes over a certain amount per mile if it exceeds the

79
00:26:52.240 --> 00:27:10.640
minimum amount. So we can do a GPS. I mean I'm just over here going just roots is like 1.5 miles maybe maybe two miles >> where Ammeris we're talking is what 20 >> we're getting charged the same price to

80
00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:27.600
go two miles four miles round trip as we are for 40 >> sit there just by the hour >> yeah because there's a driver wait cost as well say anything television or not.

81
00:27:27.600 --> 00:27:51.520
>> Well, >> yeah. I also noticed it was like $30 more for one school to go as opposed to the other school to go to the Ammeris Museum. Like when I went in the cosmecus stuff it was >> is that just their flat rate for like if

82
00:27:51.520 --> 00:28:07.919
you go zero to 40 miles? >> Yeah, there is a flat rate and then if exceeds the minimum for the contract uh it's a $4 per mile charge and then the driver waiting cost if they're waiting is a $70

83
00:28:07.919 --> 00:28:26.480
cost per hour. So the minimum charge for any field trip regardless is $425. by >> and actually yeah again it was like just roots

84
00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:47.120
is the or 66656 and then it was like $30 more for um one school to go to the Ammeris Museum. as opposed to the other.

85
00:28:47.120 --> 00:29:02.880
>> Yeah. So, what it is is they aren't charged unless the the contractual amount goes up by a certain cola each year. And so, that is actually 2.5% increase from the 425. >> So, 425 plus 2 and a half gets us to the

86
00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:24.399
435 63. So, it's >> like their minimum >> regardless like up to so many miles. So when is there a contract up? >> Never. That's the answer. It's never. That's the correct answer. >> Well, there's no competition for >> There's no competition.

87
00:29:24.399 --> 00:29:41.279
>> But when you negotiate, you can negotiate a certain number of free field trips or we did that one year. That was very nice. >> Yeah. >> We have to give them an estimate. It's Yeah. 630 29. We do have to give them an

88
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:57.360
estimated guess on the number of field trips per year >> that they quote on. Um there is nothing stopping us from >> using any other vendor if we find someone cheaper that's in all the contracts.

89
00:29:57.360 --> 00:30:16.000
Um >> King Ward >> they they were used in one of our last batch awards or something. the days of free field trips though I can tell you what they would do is they sure we'll give you 20 >> to 100 your trip but then you're going to up the hourly rate in the minimum

90
00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:33.760
>> and pay some way somehow >> no matter how they package it >> keep going uh we had a charge for roundabout books for 439 Nine

91
00:30:33.760 --> 00:30:53.760
>> gift cards. The just gift cards. >> Okay. There was two separate ones. One for 300, one for 139.90. >> So, what were the gift cards for? I didn't quite hear it. >> Graduation. >> Okay. Graduation. >> Gift cards for

92
00:30:53.760 --> 00:31:09.440
>> Yeah. I'm just I a red flag goes up for me because that's where all of our surplus books go. >> Books. Like we surplus our books that are no longer >> to rock. >> Yes. So then we're like buying them back from them. So

93
00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:26.520
>> I think we'd be more like buying new books from them. >> No. Well, they have they have used books, >> but they also have new books, but also new to us. >> New to us. >> Like the books we don't want. Trade them in for books we >> books we do want. Only we could get a credits.

94
00:31:43.279 --> 00:31:58.720
But that would be interesting to know if we were doing new or used books when we purchase from them because you can get new books there. That's good to know because I know like four corners used to have their book fairs there but it was like the used and then I was like this is well

95
00:31:58.720 --> 00:32:14.480
>> this well I they don't carry a huge amount of new books and you can special order but >> that's good to know. >> Yeah >> I get a lot of our DVDs there. Thinking of book fairs, we might want to

96
00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:32.000
see if High Five from Northampton would partner or Florence. >> High five. >> Yes, they are children's specific bookstore. >> I think you know things of the book fairs and through Salassie as a kickback. >> Yeah,

97
00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:48.080
>> I didn't use the word kickback. >> Okay. On public TV. >> I was waiting to see if he started to twitch. >> He did. He did. We used to do um World Eye used to do them for us which was great because they had connections with children's authors like we got to meet Jane Yolan and her

98
00:32:48.080 --> 00:33:03.200
daughter. >> Sorry Andy. >> Not sorry. >> I know. No. I mean they would all my kids doing >> it was nice. >> All right. Were we answering a Were we done with the thing about the field trips besides me being disgruntled that

99
00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:18.640
we spend more money on busing than we do actually going into museums? Well, we were on those roundabout books. >> Now we're on roundabout books. Okay. So, gift cards. >> We think >> books. New books. New books. Not used

100
00:33:18.640 --> 00:33:42.480
books. What the word new books? >> Donation. >> Try not to look at things. just kind of >> doing the soile. >> Oh, you know what? I should go look. I have a question, but I need to look at something before I ask the next question.

101
00:33:42.480 --> 00:33:58.559
We need to look at viewers ones that just came in because I'm really hoping there's something on there I'm looking for. >> Yeah, the ones that just came in today, I have not even opened yet. >> I started my day with them.

102
00:33:58.559 --> 00:34:24.320
>> Started my day with another meeting. Ah, >> he's watching. >> Thank you, Vera. Okay, I don't need to ask that question. >> Do I want to know what my child's doing? >> I ask a question while you guys are looking. >> Sure.

103
00:34:24.320 --> 00:34:39.760
>> Have the orders for instructional supplies gone out from each school already? Oh, that was on my question list. >> There you go. >> Okay. Just so that everybody gets what they need before school starts. There's no massive panic at stables.

104
00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:59.040
>> Oh, let me say that you order. >> I know. >> So, we is most of that through Amazon these days. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> You might get the art stuff from Dick Blake or something. >> Well, we used Right. I mean, we used to do WB Mason and all that.

105
00:34:59.040 --> 00:35:17.680
I'll use something I can't. >> And where are we getting our paper from these days? >> There was one for WB Mason on here. I just looked a few seconds ago. >> So, it was both gift cards and actually 139. >> Nice. >> There's some stuff for WB Mason on here

106
00:35:17.680 --> 00:35:35.960
by the way, >> but it's for Pioneer Valley School District, not for us. So, >> that area >> strike that topic. What else did I have? Hold on. with me or something now like disorganized life.

107
00:35:37.839 --> 00:35:52.480
>> I just think of all the new principles. >> Oh, this has nothing to do with warrants, but it does have something to do with warrants. I kind of wish Roland was here, but Carol's here, so I will defer to her. Um, if you actually go through and look at the Verizon bill, actually shows how many photographs are

108
00:35:52.480 --> 00:36:09.160
being sent via cell phones. And I just have some questions on the secure security of photos being sent or what photos are being sent when we have someone who has like upwards of 200 photos being sent.

109
00:36:12.240 --> 00:36:27.680
>> Well, I don't think we like pay anything extra for it, but I was just like, why are we >> sending photos via cell phone? just my questions I ask myself at night,

110
00:36:27.680 --> 00:36:44.960
things that keep me up. >> So, every summer we got a a new group of new principles and every summer there are things that should happen in the summer because it's cheaper. One is the order of paper, right? And the other is the

111
00:36:44.960 --> 00:37:02.240
fixing of every copier from here to the other side of town. So, and nobody knows how to call for the support to fix the cop years. It's it's like a secret code that's passed from experienced principles to another.

112
00:37:02.240 --> 00:37:19.040
>> So, I'm just want to make sure that's getting done because when teachers come back and none of the copers work, it gets a little ugly and it's happened a couple times. So, somebody asked me to ask >> could it be could it usually

113
00:37:19.040 --> 00:37:34.480
>> and I don't know if that can be a district's call to the because aren't all our copers on the same like contract? >> Yeah. >> Like a call that just comes from the district to >> Yeah.

114
00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:51.119
>> like maintain our copers for the summer. >> Move over here. >> Yeah. Uh, I'll double check with Ian, but I know >> um, >> well, yeah. I'll double check because

115
00:37:51.119 --> 00:38:14.560
>> I don't know that. >> Well, it just makes things ugly for the first. >> Do you see where I'm coming at that one? >> I don't know. The first teacher who spills coffee and the wax disappears, you have to use good wax. >> But it's stick to the door.

116
00:38:14.560 --> 00:38:30.880
>> Oh, no. No. White tile floors and bad wax. >> Yeah, we can >> see. Which page were you looking at? >> For what? >> For talking about all of the images being texted. >> Oh, Amazon

117
00:38:30.880 --> 00:38:48.480
page. What? I just It's It's Verizon. >> Does it say which phone? Mhm. But I don't know if we want to discuss that out loud or if we need an executive session. >> I can give you the >> page 40. Page 46. >> 46. >> 46. >> You're sitting next to Carol.

118
00:38:48.480 --> 00:39:09.400
>> I already showed and then she said something and then I had to shush her. >> I got it. >> But now we're going through trying to figure out something else, which is fine. >> Okay. I just wanted to share >> like if you go and look at the other ones I just didn't

119
00:39:09.839 --> 00:39:26.320
>> Well, I do know that sometimes as a parent I have received like cute photos. We >> especially my >> I do too through the Remind app. >> Oh, I don't think I've ever gotten anything through. I've just gotten texts.

120
00:39:26.320 --> 00:39:46.000
>> Wow. But I don't see anyone else with that amount. >> And like people I would expect to see with that amount. I'm not seeing. >> So it might >> Well, I mean this I mean you could go to

121
00:39:46.000 --> 00:40:08.960
page 53. 53 also has a high amount. >> That kind of makes sense. That one makes sense to me. Um, >> most cell phones just get rid of them. >> That would be my plan in life. We

122
00:40:08.960 --> 00:40:25.839
already know that struggle. Anytime I've received any pictures of my child has been through um email or the Remind app.

123
00:40:25.839 --> 00:40:46.760
>> Yeah, for me it's been email or text >> from a five minutes. >> Okay. I feel like this is not something we should be discussing. >> We need to move on. >> We need to move on. >> What else you got? >> I mean, that's one also is up there. This is what I spend free time doing just over those

124
00:40:47.040 --> 00:41:05.520
>> but that okay and I don't feel that that's going to be of >> I don't know same with the I mean I guess they're all like like that like they're they're either like zero or in the 200s

125
00:41:05.520 --> 00:41:25.839
>> things April 24th to May 23rd. Maybe >> though it's also possible that some of the photos are taken at events and then sent inside the school to be used for newsletters and things.

126
00:41:25.839 --> 00:41:42.480
>> Give you >> regardless because it doesn't cost us any money. >> It does not cost us any money. >> I don't know how. >> No, we're fine. >> Yeah. I I don't think we should. I think if we've got a question, we need to

127
00:41:42.480 --> 00:41:59.680
figure out the right way to put it, not warrants. >> Say this is administrative. Yes, >> totally administrative. >> That's all I have for questions. >> It's a student record. >> How I know this has nothing to do with warrants.

128
00:41:59.680 --> 00:42:15.280
Sorry. How much is each building given for supplies? Or is it based off of students that we say, "Oh, you have 189 students, so we're going to give you 20 bucks per

129
00:42:15.280 --> 00:42:30.720
kit." >> So, previous years, it's been so principles come and they tell us what their needs are for supplies and justify their needs. in this time around and when we present

130
00:42:30.720 --> 00:42:49.040
the revised budget, we wanted to what he was saying is do it a little more equitably where we came up with a formula based amount to allocate their consumable lines based on it. So you won't see that. So that was done you

131
00:42:49.040 --> 00:43:06.079
know uh for this year and we'll be presenting that when we present the revised budget but previously it's been all needsbased principles come and justify it and now it I would say obviously in through the year if they're running

132
00:43:06.079 --> 00:43:21.680
short we come back to administration and see if we've got funds elsewhere or >> yeah I mean I don't see anyone denying pencils and paper and crayons and markers to begin with but I was just curious I think when you look also you look at the the budget we we have a fiveyear average

133
00:43:21.680 --> 00:43:37.920
as to what every line was spent consumable wise over the last nine years. So it does give a a trend as to those that either hit their mark, I use that phrase, or just routinely I say just come up short and well then still

134
00:43:37.920 --> 00:43:52.240
come and justify what it is that people need are like we start building these budgets here in advance. So when time comes for the doors opening, things can drastically have changed. We get the year-end purchases where they end up purchasing their stuff as a normal

135
00:43:52.240 --> 00:44:15.319
practice to in a sense help save their funds for the emergencies that might occur during the year. We used to call that blue money in the day. Keep you from getting the blues. >> Any other questions?

136
00:44:16.720 --> 00:44:34.400
I always let you guys go first because whatever I have you guys get to first >> I think so the revised budget's going to be presented >> well like we were saying last time where we have all the summer activity that's end up occurring

137
00:44:34.400 --> 00:44:49.599
finalizing some information regarding grants to roll over grants personnel changes everything so I always like to try and hit for the first maybe September or potentially depending on to go October, you know, get as real time

138
00:44:49.599 --> 00:45:06.720
current budget as possible and then show you here was what the original proposed was and here is the revised with, >> you know, I'm going to say the hiring as we know of at that mo moment in time as we know we seem to have a lot of open positions, but at least at least they'll be budgeted

139
00:45:06.720 --> 00:45:22.160
>> for and uh those that we have filled obviously with the building and you know if there's a funding source change whether it be a grant or clean up because you know your final grant numbers or you know potentially shift it from another funding source and we'll do that.

140
00:45:22.160 --> 00:45:37.200
>> So we gave we met with each school and we put a list together that was like the staffing from each school. So and I know

141
00:45:37.200 --> 00:45:52.960
I guess I'm wondering what's in there. So like I know Newton wanted another special ed teacher. So, but they were lucky to even have one because of the postings. So, will all the positions be posted?

142
00:45:52.960 --> 00:46:08.560
>> Um, you're asking anybody. I would say yes. They'll be >> okay. >> Posted as of level service. >> Correct. >> Because new positions other than a couple I think service >> will be posted. >> Okay.

143
00:46:08.560 --> 00:46:23.440
>> If it hasn't already, >> there are a lot posted. Yeah. >> I was looking good on a mission. So are Paris is under negotiation. Who's under negotiation? I know it's custodians, but or Paris. >> No, Paris.

144
00:46:23.440 --> 00:46:42.880
>> Advent. >> Okay. So, we're struggling with our Paris because we do not pay enough. We start at $18 an hour and Pioneer next door is 21. So, where would you work? Um,

145
00:46:42.880 --> 00:46:58.160
>> I would just be careful because it's warrants and active negotiations. >> No, but it's not. They're not. >> Well, but they aren't active. But if other negotiations are going on, >> I don't want to say something that will get us into trouble. I'm just concerned

146
00:46:58.160 --> 00:47:15.119
we're going to have 12 positions and they're going to be empty at the start of school because if there are children coming who need a one-on-one to an elementary school and they don't have the support that they need, that school's in trouble from the day one. Um, and that's already but what's

147
00:47:15.119 --> 00:47:32.000
being broadcast by teachers. And so it would be good if teachers knew that staffing was, you know, out there. >> We have any more questions about warrants?

148
00:47:32.000 --> 00:47:48.160
>> I don't know. Book fair. Why do you book fair? >> Book fair is not warrant. >> Just thought I'd throw back at her. >> Yeah. >> No, I'm good. I'm good. >> We can >> with my bribery. We'll figure out the meeting time and agenda for our next

149
00:47:48.160 --> 00:48:04.000
meeting after the full committee meeting. That way, if they charge us with anything or have any questions, we'll be able to plan for that. >> Um, seeking a motion to adjurnn. >> Moved. >> Any second? >> Second.

150
00:48:04.000 --> 00:48:18.760
>> Okay, we have motion. All in favor? I >> I >> It's unanimous. We are adjourned at 12:50. Um, yeah. So now let me turn off the recording.
