>> We do need a motion. >> I'll make a motion to uh uh >> approve addition >> approve the additional staffing >> as presented. Wow. >> Okay. So, as uh part of the
>> um part of the teachers contract, we um as part of the agreement, we do need to add a little bit of extra staffing at our elementary level. Um so, you'll see on the memo here that we have a half a music, a half of steam, and a half of art at
Hoover, and then we have a half of music at Web. Um, what would end up happening is, you know, we'll post for the half and half and half, but perhaps the person who's doing half and half already will say, "I'm going to be full art or I'm going to be full steam instead of, you know, splitting that all
up." Um, that will allow for extra planning time for our elementary staff. Then we also once the master schedule was completed at the high school, it was determined that we will require uh a half of an English teacher and half of a PE teacher. Um, so we'll post for those
positions as well. that is primarily due to I think increase in AP course desired um the kids wanting to take them. So that is fantastic. And then we were given a grant we were notified Friday morning I think for this one that for a
1.0 BCBA that's for the district and a 1.0 bachelor of social worker that would be for advantage. Um and these would be both of these salaries would be fully grant covered um through 31A dollars and that is to support mental health for the
students. So we're looking for approval so that we can get those up on the job board and start garnering um interest. >> I do have a question for clarification. The one point um social worker it was a
0.5 but now it's going to be a one and that whole social worker will be covered by the grant. Meg can ask or Dr. D um Hazy can answer that question for you. >> We're gonna maintain our 0.5 masters of social work position at Advantage and
this will be grant funded and in addition to so advantage will have 1.5 but it's not a social worker school social worker. It's a bachelor's level social worker to support mental health. >> Okay. So, it's a different when we wrote
the grant. Uh, you know, there are lots of individuals that practice at the bachelor's level that have wonderful social work support background that can help mental healthwise. So, we'll be utilizing that grant to bring us in not for special ed social work or whatever, but really centered around mental
health. >> That helps make things a lot more clear because I was confused. And then you already told us about uh the possibility of um uh the administration said that the possibility of uh depending on the high school and the needs for uh you
know the the students it would would increase or so we I'm wasn't taken back to that but um is there any thought on I see music and stream and arts for additional uh Hoover and when we were
when we were um if there was discussion about more um release time or whatever. Is there any thought about bringing fifth grade band back? >> Um I've tried almost every year. That does not seem to be right now what uh
they would push into for fifth grade band from the um so this just increases like the sections of electives to give them the time not give an additional electives. I just >> Yes, it would be my dream as well as orchestra, but um we'll continue to work
on that. >> Yeah, I was in fifth grade band, so that's why I kind of, you know, I remember the teacher and everything, but uh yeah, it it was important for me. I mean, I >> Mhm. >> Yeah, I can still play this saxophone. Um that's all the questions I have. Thank you. >> So, with your approval this evening,
then we can go ahead and like I said, and get those posted out to the staff and to the public so that we can start. It's hiring season, guys. So, >> okay, I have a couple quick questions. um the people that are halftime that may or may not want to go full-time, would they have the first chance to go full-time as opposed to or not?
>> Not necessarily. >> Okay. >> Well, according to the placement that we just saw on that would be um >> first you have to post that anyone in the district that wants to push out for those positions, we have to use the the um hiring process for anyone. So, those
individuals don't necessarily have the right to it. If I am a former music teacher and I'm teaching second grade and I now decide that I want to go between Hoover and whatever, those are the maneuvers that we are going to have to do. But our just inside people do
have the first right, but most experienced has the first right. So those people doing it may not have the first right. >> Okay. Um and 31A money since that is still um no one knows what's happening with that money for next year. >> That's different. you're talking about
31A um 31A4 31A5 is a grant and we just received that grant and they signed and let us know that we were having it for mental health purposes. So that is is approved and received for next year. >> Okay. I just want to make sure it wouldn't go away. It's not >> well it may go away the following year
but for this year it is it is signed and given to us. >> Okay. Okay. Um, roll call. Fox, >> yes. >> Yes. >> Beaten, >> yes. >> Becker, >> yes.
>> Yes. >> Ken, >> yes. Motion carry 6. We don't have anything under policy. So, we have uh buildings and grounds. Ford duckless air conditioner. >> Yes. So, um, the assistant superintendent of business and
operations air conditioner hasn't worked for some time and I guess I just really didn't think about it and then I got this proposal that it needed to happen. I was like, "Oh, yes." Um, so she works year round. Um, it does not have air conditioning inside that room. It's been broken uh since before she was here and
so we're requesting to replace that so that um as she's working it's a more comfortable classroom. The question I have for that one is it's replacing the exact heavyduty model that's in there. >> No, it's the internal ones that we had inside our rooms,
>> right? But that one was designed for because it used to be our computer room and we there was a big big unit. I'm just wondering if we really need a big unit in there that we could put one like you have in there. >> That's what the $15,000 is. It's for a unit like ours. >> Okay, good. Thank you very much.
And was this part of the re because this will be on this year's expense or next year's expense? >> Depends on when it gets done. >> Okay. Was it part of the was it built into the budget for next year? I'm just curious. >> This will be syncing fund dollars. >> Oh, because it says general fun. >> It's syncing fund.
>> Okay. The next one is HBA uh se filter replacement. You asked us to get a cost for the year. They didn't feel that that was prudent to do so. And so this is just the second half of the HBAC filters that we need to get.
>> Any questions? >> No. No. Playground mulch needs to be we need to put layers on every single year uh for safety reasons to make sure it's the right depth. So this is approval to go ahead and uh order that playground mulch uh after next Monday's meeting if
you approve. >> Anyone? No, no question. >> Okay. Bus driver purchase. >> So, this next one is approval of a bus and a bus driver. I we probably should have done this for action uh only because the order of the bus is
important to get that moving. Um we I did put out uh I had over 30 individuals reply their interest in United Oaks and um Hoover and doing the busing. Uh, and these are again for the audience because I think there was some misunderstanding
about this. Uh, I don't think this board has ever approved nor has it ever been suggested that we transport into outside of our boundaries to get kids. It's always been inside our boundaries. Many school districts around us go into Detroit and going to Pontiac to pull kids for open enrollment. We do not.
What we did say in the last time is that these are going to be our routes and that if somebody from outside the district gets to that spot, it's going to United Oaks or whatever, then that's fine because there'll be a bus with space on it. So, in order to do this, we need to add another bus driver and a bus and it is in the agenda or it is in the
budget for us for next year. And so, we're hoping that we can get this approved as soon as possible so that we can order that bus cuz it'll take a little time. >> So, this is one bus, one driver, two drop offs. >> So, it will drop off at Uber. in. >> Yes. >> And when are we getting the electric
buses? >> The electric buses are in November, December. The um but we still have our buses that we can use until then. And it'll depend on when the chargers get put in. So right now there's a bid out there for the chargers uh to be put at
um web. And so that was part of our um business 18 months ago. So, I just I kind of feel like we're if we're already getting three new buses that we >> they have to replace buses. They can't add a buses. So, part of your agreement
with the grant that was done in 2022 is that they're to replace current buses. You have to turn buses back in for this. >> Okay. >> So, we'll have to buy another bus and we would have needed to anyway. That was and part of the long range plan was to buy a bus every year and so this is
following up on that plan as well. This is a used vest. >> Yes, it'll be a used vest. >> Yes. And I believe the cost we had 75,000 put in discussion for that. I believe it's going to be about 58. If and when you approve this, then I will go into NSBO's bus piece and bid that
out and um and see if that's the lowest price we're going to get. >> I feel like it's only right that we motion tonight, though, because if she's already posting for other positions, we should probably post for the bus driver. Um, there wasn't a cost for the bus
driver. How much is a bus driver going to cost? They make around $24 an hour. Um, is it full time? >> Yes, it's full-time. Yeah, I could look up one and give you an idea. Um, I think the thing on Facebook was
very v vague and it generated a lot of conversation about picking up kids outside of the district because there was very little explanation and it hadn't been discussed with the board yet. So, you read it on Facebook like, wow, we're doing busing like it was
determined already and I think the proposing was it was just inadequate. Um, also it's costly. You're talking an increase in gasoline with what we're living under nowadays. And you're also talking what
do we bless 20 kids to um still is it in two years 20 kids to web. So you have 30. I'd like to know what it this has to be maintained. You can't do it one year. Take it away. You're going to have very
angry people. So what are you thinking a year or two years from now? and that 15 kids on a bus. It's very very costly. The money needs to be in the classroom. I know kids need to get to school, but I
think we need to brainstorm uh maybe on that. >> So, the research centered around absenteeism is transportation. That's what Detroit's doing by giving people free bus passes. That's why where other uh places are going to get them. Uh that's why I invest in their a pickup
door to door. When you have transportation people get here and I've met with so many families that when I look at them because they're here for discipline and I say hold on wait you've been absent so much. There's often times a lack of transportation. Um this is the
research best practice on um attendance works about transportation. We hope it'll grow as people get to know that. The key of this is that the research showed that our web kids were coming to school if they rode the bus. And when the attendant when you are in school
attendance-wise, your scores start to increase. And we presented that last year uh through Carlo. We just didn't get to that this year with everything else was going on. And so our hope in a couple years is junior high and high school. Part of the uh financial collaborative was talking about
increasing reimbursement for transportation to school districts. So, we hope that we will see that as well because we are all running into this issue where people don't get kids to school and so I would hope that we could bust all of our kids in the future. I think it's well needed and kids parents
don't want their kids walking across the district to get to the high school or to the junior high. We hear that time and time again. So, I think this is our uh you know have was our long range plan to add the other ones because I was uh out last year. It did not get put on for this upcoming school year. So, we waited
through instead of doing it midyear. So, we hope the board will consider that as a way to get our kids to school, our residents, and it's in the book. >> So, how many kids are on the web bus
after 2 years? Still 20. It es and flows. Uh, so when I checked her last time, I think there was like 25 kids around the web bus before. Um, so for a bus and a small bus route, that's that's pretty wonderful that we're getting 25 extra kids to school on time
on a daily basis. >> How hard would it be to include high school kids on that bus if they meet up at Web to go to the high school? When when I was in school, we used to have a high school bus that you could hop on
for those poor kids that were over by Webster and, you know, they couldn't truck way over to the high school and, you know, be 20, 30 kids popping off the bus, you know, every day. Um, >> I I think that's something for us to investigate in the future for that. I'm
not sure because I haven't had that conversation with Tiffany and Gina yet, as if they'd have to add another bus to hit the high school and the junior high. Uh we talked originally about just having buses go school to school and they felt like this was the best way to go about it and we've been very
successful with that. And so uh if if you aren't able to get to school, the other piece of that is then people will just um go to another school district because they have to get in the car anyway. So I think making us a more accessible trans that's what was the emails over and over again in the survey
and we didn't put anything out there that said we were doing it. you said we were considering and it was a request to see if they'd be interested was yes, please. Thank you. I need this a conversation that was going on on so on social media. However, we we this this
was our long range plan. Um it is up to the board on whether or not they want to accept it. I don't know if you had a motion on the table. I I thought my did motion that. Um, but so the 30 people that responded, did you speak to those 30 people or or were they
on the Facebook? >> No, it was uh a survey that I shared with you guys that I put out if you remember correctly. And so I didn't speak with them directly. I I sent the survey that we did before that saying would you be interested in that? Where do you live and any other questions and what elementary you go to? So that is
what the survey was. It it was not requesting saying that we were doing it. It was we were going to bring this conversation to the board. >> Did you do that survey? >> Um I did it I think last month or month I honestly I have to tell you blurs together but I believe I shared it with
the board that I was going to go ahead and do the survey. I'd have to go back and look at my notes that that we were going to we were going to do the survey to bring that information back with me. Well, there I don't have the law in front of me uh that passed last year that all surveys are to be posted and
all the results of the surveys should be posted. >> Those are student surveys, not parent surveys. And that's next fall. That's not uh surveys that are going to parents. That's student surveys. We're well aware of that. We have a curriculum space that's up there and our surveys to students are being posted on our website
already. >> Anybody second motion? Well, you know what? This isn't supposed to be a voting meeting. I'm really We shouldn't have voted for that first item either. >> It's not a voting meeting, >> but >> is there a motion on the table? >> I think she said that she'd like to put
>> like actually do it. >> Well, then I will make a motion to um uh do the full-time bus driver and a purchase of a used bus. >> Could I second the motion with the following addition? Uh the bus driver
position would be salary and benefits will be paid to accordance with the epicole collective bargaining agreement and budget allowance allocations and then the school bus purchase would not exceed $60,000. >> I will agree to that.
So, we changed the motion that the bus itself is 60,000 and then the >> not to I just tightened it up. >> Okay. >> I just made it more clear and tightened it up. >> So, as presented in a memo. Um I do before we vote I do have one question
though. Um and I forgot what it was in the right way. Um, is it is the opportunity to express interest in busing also being made available in some way in the reenrollment process? I mean, is there a
transportation form or and I would like to be contacted regarding busing form >> when students are reinrolling, >> but it's something we could have. >> Okay. Well, I just wonder if as as people were signing up, if they knew that it was available, that may generate more interest for them >> for them and information for them in the
summer handouts. But, uh, we have a really positive uh, enrollment trend going right now. And part of that is is because in order to go to summer discovery, you have to be enrolled. >> That would be nice. And also what else would be nice is if you could cuz I'm concerned about the all students being
able to get transported to the appropriate schools because our even though I mean a kid's not going to walk 2 and 1/2 miles. So I I'm just concerned I've been always concerned with that. Um so I I would hope that this request
would also um encourage the you know uh looking into that kind of thing. I agree. >> I'm done. >> Okay. Anybody else? >> All right. Roll callie. >> Yes. >> Fox.
>> Yes. >> Beaten. >> Yes. >> Becker. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> No. Motion carries 5 to one. What's included next? MASB, excuse me,
last year. MASB membership renewal. Oh, we know all know what that's $6,444.36. Michigan Association of School Board membership renewal. Anybody? There's not much to discuss there. >> Yep. That is the board's uh renewal and
um membership. >> I don't have any questions. >> I don't either. student insurance services. >> So, student insurance uh accident in um is insurance is the um insurance that we had for our athletes before and for our
students. We did have some people utilize it. It's something that was cut before I came and we brought that back because we were finding kids getting hurt without um insurance. >> Anybody? >> No question. No. >> This is an option if students are uninsured. So, it's a this is a pair of
less. >> They are insured. It also adds >> like we'll cover co-pays or whatnot. Okay. >> All right. Hop, scoop, and drive. >> So, we're uh Carla, you go ahead.
>> We had a meeting with Kyle. Um >> I'm sorry for interrupting, but could you show us the hop skipping drive? >> No, not an address. Um um and I know we updated that um last year. So, our contract is actually only changing a
little bit. Um, it has not gone up um in fees, but he they have done a wonderful job with us in that it used to be that it was 8 hours ahead of time that uh we would cancel a ride. Then they went to 2
hours for for us because we said that's, you know, parents don't know when they're going to cancel rides. And the last time we talked to them, we asked for um an hour. And so they have changed our contract to an hour before their
ride shows up. If we cancel it, um they will they will not charge us. Um our cancellation rate, they said, is just phenomenal. It was like 6%, wasn't it? It was amazing. Um Thelma,
you know, she's amazing. She is on those parents about cancelling rides and making sure she's calling. And so we have done a and I say we, I mean her. She's done a really good job with keeping up on the cancellations and
making sure that we're billing uh our other districts who owe us half those rides. So we're really trying to keep the cost down. >> So the change in the contract is in our favor. >> It's in our favor. Yep. There's no The other piece that they had which was
really exciting was the ability to uh for no charge they can record inside the ride and then it uploads to a private system where if we have a concern at all we're able to listen to those tapes no one else is and you can also ask them to turn on the video of that as well so
that you can see what's happening with the people. Well, I think this is really important when we have youth um and these days it's a protection for the driver and protection for the child to have that situation. So, they're really uh moving forward on some really forward thinking ideas and they've been really
helpful uh with that. So, we were hoping that next week you would approve that >> and there's no increase in the cost? >> No, >> the base cost that is no. >> Okay. >> Okay. Moving on. annual services and software renewals 26 27.
>> So this is our first attempt at doing that this that uh this year as we have a lot of things that we're balancing back and forth that sometimes it's teaching and learning and sometimes it's another and so what we tried to do is add the renewals that we know would be coming up so that you're aware of them. Um and so
you can see on here a list of about $230,000 worth of uh renewal things that we do. Huddle which is our athletics. Uh they are adding another camera and um and some other video services to that. Set which we do every year. Business
plus which is our financial plan. Our CRG is our map safety maps. Our strategic planning dashboard is data analysis that we've been able to show you. Uh frontline our human services and human resources and play management. MEAR we've had to keep that open. We may
have to do that still. We also have to do some special ed with MEAR. PBIS is for the center programs. Uh special education platform uh for testing that you approved last year. Virtue which is a signing and communication system for us. Language lines on here. Lmetrics
which is what we do all the responsibilities that we have to have up online. Uh we have Navigate 360 which is our safety and compliance platform as well as our threat assessments. Zoom. um a mobile device data management filtering system that we will have uh
our internet filtering and cyber security and FMX which is our technology facility request management system. Uh at this point in time it's 238,000. We hope to continue to make this better every year for you with the items that are on there uh for but this is what you
requested um for due of this year. >> I have probably two questions. >> Sure. Why do we have to keep MEAR open? >> Um well, we have some uh baby MEAR is what we call it that we have to use for Medicaid and then some of the data we
need to make sure that it is over all the way from the past data. So, we've kept like a $5,000 piece coming for that to make sure that that data is still being held by the ISD before we shut that totally down. I think some we keep thinking we're there and then we look back and there might be some data
missing. So, we don't want to lose any kids information. >> Um, and we have, have we already approved any of this or none of this has been approved yet? >> None of this has been approved. >> Okay. >> You're you would be approving them this week.
>> So, I'm just I know we we did we approve power school. >> You did approve power school >> and a couple other things. >> I think power school is all that we had approved at this point in time. >> Okay. I'm just on Oh, no. puddles coming up. You did a front line. You didn't do
this part of front line. >> Um so yes, >> so eventually hopefully everything will be on there. >> Um I think that's what I was trying to say to you earlier though is um we will continue to improve upon this. Um we
would hope that those things are on here, but I'm not 100% that we have every single thing that needed to be on there. But it's a work in progress. No, but like next year hopefully power school will be on this list as opposed to separate >> and early. >> Okay.
>> Okay. Oh, here we are. Final budget 2026. Okay, Brad's looking for the clicker. So, let me get started with this one. just fell in there. >> All right, I'm done. I'll let you know when
uh for the final amendment for 2526, couple of highlights. Um the EBUS grant revenue and expenses were removed. Salary and fringes uh were budgeted using current actual assignments. And then we looked at year-to- date charges
for u separated personnel. So we've accounted for where everybody's currently being charged. and all of the expense and revenue lines were reviewed. The net change from the third amendment
to the final amendment is a pickup of almost $654,000 um with a projected ending fund balance of 4,72544 which is 8.56% just by the name right
for the 26 627 budget. Um some of the assumptions or um that we used uh we use the governor's proposal of $10,300 foundation for HPSD students
uh which is a $250 per pupil increase. The governor's proposal for um MVCA was in was 80% of our student uh rate. So, it would be a reduction of 1,810 per
student. That was in the governor's proposal. We're not expecting that to actually go through. So, we should have a pickup on our first budget amendment. Um, that goes through at full funding. We use projection enrollments from
Stanford Consultants, which projected a 53 student increase next year. Um and then just a reminder that the state budget and revenues are not finalized. So um we will adjust for
those changes in the first amendment. Um feel like I already said this, but we added in 2627 the electric bus grant. So that's um zero impact on the bottom line revenue and expense.
also removed prior year carryover components of revenue and one-time grants. Um, for example of a one-time grant would be the community center grant that was one time and that's done. And then
we qualified for um the reimbursement program through Treasury. So, we are expecting $150,000 um from them and that was put in the 2627 budget. We don't know exactly when that'll come in.
And then the transfers in for general fund increased due to an additional or due to additional indirect cost and rent um that will result from the new ASD center program. And then for the expenses, uh negotiated
pay rate increases are included in the budget. The budget includes uh a net addition of nine FTEEs. Uh there's a transfer out for energy bonds that was eliminated as we just in May made our final payment. Um but there
is a new transfer added to cover the child care fund. uh they would be in deficit if we didn't make the transfer, which that's something we're looking at what's being charged there um since they they went through their fund balance
pretty quickly. Uh so we're we're still evaluating that fund. uh three-year plans were utilized by the department heads in preparing the budget authorization forms which is are the budget forms that they provided to
Crystal and myself to um for the budget for this year and uh included in the budget is the purchase of the bus and additional bus driver that we just discussed. >> I have a question. Yeah,
>> it's the revenue the general fund transfers. What is IDC? >> Indirect cost. >> Okay. And that new program, are you saying we're going to have money from that? Because we ASD teachers are hard
to get. Is that a money >> from our our center program uh which is a separate fund. We are allowed to charge an indirect cost to recover our our overhead for those programs. um which so we currently do that for our
existing programs and then we get rent uh from each of the programs. So we're adding a new ASD center program. So we'll have um additional indirect costs that that will generate for general fund. >> Well, we can't get ASD teachers. Is that
at Edison the new ASD program? >> Yes. And you guys approved that already in staffing when we spoke about it. But I want to remind you that we're not calling them ASD, LD, EI teachers. They're level teachers. Dr. You want to speak about that?
>> Yes, we run level programs. That was board approved um a couple of years ago. We run level programs in all of our schools, elementary, junior high, and high school level. And it ranges from a level one resource room to a level four
resource room. And the amount of support that the group of students needs is um certainly based on their own disabilities and their needs and their academic levels. Um that comes from the
Oakland schools um agreement and is um what the state is moving to a level system like this as a whole. Um, and there are a little bit of different rules that we are able to follow when that happens. So, for example, if you're
a level four teacher, you can be certified in any special ed uh eligibility category. And that's pretty typical, I think, nationwide that you're able to do that. Um, they don't Michigan
is is truly kind of stands alone in having one endorsement for one classroom. um where this allows us to have a teacher that is supported by pair professionals um work and utilize their special
education training in the leveled system. So um our teachers at Edison would need to be um certified in ASD because that is a central program. But in Hazel Park, the our district
students, as I said, we run a level program. So, there is some variance in what their endorsements can be. >> Okay. >> So, this will be a level four program. >> It's a center program. >> ASD. So, this says rent from new ASD
center programs that we voted to open to ASD classrooms. So, are we talking about level programs or is that generating money for the new ASD center program? >> This is Edison.
>> I know it's Edison. That's where the new ASD programs are going to be. I know it's Edison. Is that generating money from that new program where we think we can't? Is that generating money? Period. That's all I need to know. It will if we hire if we
hire. Well, if we hire and if we open it, but until we find a supervisor and the staff, we're not opening it. So, that's assuming that we will open it at this point in time because you approved it. >> Isn't she building money into the
budget? It says budget summary. That sounds to me like there's plans in the budget already that there will be money there. I I budget it assuming that we will be able to staff it and open that the new program. >> Yes. >> So if we don't open it there it would
show up the amended. >> Okay. >> Got it. >> The slide um we saw last week and there were not significant changes. Um the revenue
from the proposed amendment 4 to the budget for 2627 decreases $124,000. So I think I would call that pretty much flat revenue. Um but our transfers in will increase to
929,000. So we are looking at our revenues for 2627 uh of 57,37,000 uh with transferred in of 2.48 million. So we'll have a total revenue
of 59,7795 transfers in are the fees generated from the center programs in NBCA and invest. >> Um >> is that what we talked about? >> Just the center programs. >> Just the center programs. Okay. Um, and on here shows our expenses for
amendment four and then our uh budget for next year in the transfers out for the 2627 budget. You'll see that's where we have the $125,000 to transfer to the child care fund. So this is a summary of the revenue and
expenses and then the net transfers in. Uh this shows for amendment four the same uh $4.7 million ending fund balance which is 8.56%. And then for 2627
we are projecting an ending balance of 5.9 million or 10.22%. This is just a graph showing our revenue and expenses uh year-over-year. um which you can see in 26 and then in 27 is ideally where we would want to be that
our revenues are below or are above our expenses. This is our trending for fund balance. Uh which our projected fund balance for 27 is within $7,000 of um our highest fund
balance to date which was in 23. So uh really pretty close. I just thought that was interesting. This slide is showing our um projected revenue and expenditures for other funds for food service, child care, and special education fund or the center
programs. Um, with the child care fund, the $125,000 transfer in is included in the revenue. Um, which is just enough to leave them not uh in the red.
Then, sorry, one quick question. What does the childcare fund cover? >> Uh, that's latch key. >> Just latch key. Okay. >> It's not preschool academy. >> No. Uh this is not super informative. I'm
still working on it. But um uh Heidi had asked for um to see how we got such a jump in our um fund balance. So from 2425 to 2526 purchase services decreased
510,000. Um, we've been ensuring that we're charging back invest in MCA for all of our costs here. Um, so we're our transfer to them is smaller because we we've been made sure to recover all
that. Uh, capital outlay decreased $900,000. I believe that has to do with um paying for strategics for a multi-year agreement um that we wouldn't have had that payment in 2526.
I'm still verifying that to be the reason for the the big reason for the change. >> That seems high. It didn't cost 900,000. That could be a piece of it, but >> a piece of it. Yeah, >> that's too high. >> Um other expenses decreased 400,000 and
uh revenue increased 1.2 2 million. A majority of the revenue increase was the um community center grant that was um carried over into this current year. >> Okay, I have one question on that slide. Um regardless of the amount the capital
outlay decrease because we did a multi-year purchase. So does that mean in 26 cuz we did it for 24 25. So does that mean we're going to have to purchase it again for 26 so it would go up? >> No. >> No. Greg it's sorry Brad it's till when?
>> 28. >> Yeah. >> We still have two more years. >> Oh okay. So >> two years. >> So in 29 or 20 the end of 289 >> is okay. Thank you. Okay. So our next steps uh work
throughout the summer to get actual enrollment. Waiting for the state budget adoption. um be closing the books to prepare for the audit. Um then we're prepared to bring budget updates to the board in October and
January with the first budget amendment being in December and subsequent amendments in March and June. Um and then we will continue monitoring grant expenses. Is that where the public bud uh public
hearing would be on that list? >> Public hearings next week. >> Okay. Um and just the final thoughts that we must maintain continued focus on a balanced budget. Uh we look closely at
vacated positions um for reassignment of duties and opportunities through attrition. Uh we also wait until we have solid enrollment numbers before adding um sections uh or or additional classrooms. So that we've done and will
continue to do. Um we're continuing to work with Treasury on the uh reimbursement funds. And just the reminder that there are many variables uh that will uh require changes and continued oversight.
Any questions? >> No. Good job. Thank you. I have a question now related to this. Can I Can we take a threem minute recess? Cuz of course I have questions on this and I have to read the rest. >> Okay. All right. So motion do you got a
motion that three minute recess? Yeah. Motion Nick three minute recess. Go ahead. I do like to follow. I think I better I can't say something. Thank you. >> Huh?
register and credit card statement. Okay, you ready? I'm sorry I didn't send them in advance. So, if you have to answer them in an email later, that's okay. Um on the first page after the the second page I
guess payroll 748 762 804 that's a huge jump. Do we know why there's a huge jump? Um it's it it varies whether it's new employees that come on board, extra pay when they're, you know, have um
>> stipens for things or >> Yeah. different things like that. Increase >> repay check. >> What? >> Repay check Sunday. >> She's not talking about that. She talk about just the increase from each pay. >> Each paycheck. >> And then you'll have a part of that
though, Crystal. Correct me if I'm wrong because you're not paying u medical on the third one. So they're getting more dollars, >> right? That's what I was getting. Yeah. So, it's getting ready to say and you'll see like for instance like even next month you'll see a little bit of an increase as well because we'll be paying our schedule B and everything but that's
the main reason for the increase towards the end of the month. >> Are you asking because it's unusual? >> Uh I I just noticed it this time that it's like a >> because we get that all the time. So, I thought it looked >> Yeah. If you look back at like the other
months that have you should see the the Okay. put your mic out, please. Okay. Um the on page one of the check register, the King Scott Associates for the mostly
bathrooms but cross corridors. Were those for the drawings? I'm assuming >> the drawings, the biddings, the work that they've done today. Okay. I don't have a time. I promise. I should have flagged my pages.
Um, university translators standard service. Can you somebody is that the translation service we use or is that did we have to do different translators? >> That is one of the translation services.
Yes, we have university translators and language line. Dr. >> Okay. Cuz I thought we had I remembered language line and so I thought, what is that one? >> Yep. Frequently when we use university translators, it's for an IEP meeting where there's many many people in the
room and it's hard to understand and really conceptualize what's being spoken about um with their child's evaluation and they need someone physically there to speak with them. >> Okay. Um, the mat service.
I thought we didn't have mats anymore. >> No, we have mats. >> We have all the mats at our doors and they're uh on a service that was approved years ago and they're claimed and they're rotated out. >> Okay. So, we just have we did away with some mats.
>> We we've reduced the mats at the entrance of the front of the high school and on the side where we put those other pieces of carpet in. So, we've reduced them, but we still have them in every building. Okay. Um, all town bus service field trip. Why are we paying AllT bus
service? >> Well, we didn't pay that. Um, that is a grant and it was a bus to get the kids to Cranberrook, I believe. >> Correct. >> I just wonder why we didn't use our buses. >> Well, we couldn't. >> They weren't available. There was too many at the end of the year. There's
lots of field trips and so this was paid for by uh Cran Brook for a grant. >> Okay. Um, the Oakland University summer semester for $30,000. How many does that How many people does that
cover? >> Um, I believe that is either five or six people, but that is all funded by the GO27B grant. >> So, which brings me to can can I get some kind of thing that tells me how that
grow your own? like us. I couldn't Google it. How the grow your own program works and what what it just an outline type thing. >> Are you asking for that to be an agenda committee the whole in August? >> Uh not necessarily. I just wanted to to know more about how it works.
>> Well, um I would think that that might be a presentation for the whole entire board um on the grow your own grant. How many kids that we I mean how many kids how many teachers we have put through what we have done with that. We'd be happy to give you that presentation. >> Okay. We have a separate grant from
everybody else you would be searching. Ours is different. >> Oh, all right. Then I guess I really need to know mine um for an explanation um in the credit cards under Corey Sloan Longway.
Does anybody know what that is? >> To who? >> It's under Cory Nesi. >> What's under there? >> Sloan Longway Flint. for $522 right under the credit. I just wondered if anybody knew what that was. >> I'm assuming I was checking receipts.
>> Yeah. Where >> it's a museum and slow museum of discovery. >> Actually, the second graders went there. >> It's a field trip. >> Yeah, the second graders went there. >> I just didn't Okay. I didn't know what it was. Um, what did we buy for $1,000 from Phoenix
Stone Company under Greg Richardson? I'll have to check Greg. >> Okay. Um, under accounts payable, what's LK sales in Downer Grove for just over a,000?
>> Plumbing supplies. >> H, isn't it? Plumbing supplies. LK, >> I believe that's what it is. I'll look at the >> Thank you. the um invoice >> uh under Linda Yates. She bought a lot
of groceries at Kroger for $950. Maybe it's a school party. Maybe I don't. >> This is $950 at Kroger. >> Uh I'd have to look into that to see if that was for summer school. >> Yeah, it could be part of a grant. So, we can look in >> Yeah. into it.
>> Okay. Um, Crystal, Captain Jay's Fish and Tubbies. Both of them are like 400 bucks. >> Yep. All my purchases are for the class of 2026. Okay. >> Perfect. >> Yep. >> I didn't think you were stacking your house for a year. >> I'm not obsessed with chicken like that. That's all my party food. There was a
lot of chicken there. >> There was a lot of chicken. >> Mhm. >> Um, and the last one is Lisa Bernest at Sam's Club for $2,500. >> Check it. Food distribution. Yeah. Through the United Way. >> I'll double check. >> Can you when that's what she said?
>> No, not I'd have to look at it. We're in the middle of reconciling it. So, >> she'll double check it out right. >> Okay. So, yeah, whenever you get the chance. >> Sorry, I didn't do it last night. >> Okay, that was it for me. >> Okay.
>> We would really prefer that maybe we do them on Friday and Saturday and not on Sunday. I know, but sometimes I can get to it, sometimes I can't. Although, since it's done now, it won't be next weekend, which is good because I have my grandkids all weekend. Um, okay.
Okay. So, we're we're up to other and this is the March 16th, 2026 minutes. And um what I need to do this what we received the attachment is the transcripts.
>> Yes. And I think it was like 30 pages long. So I did not go through it. I I need to talk to Heidi who pulled it and I agreed and see um >> so fine tuned it and send it to you, I
guess. >> So what we did was give exact transcripts because people were picking and choosing what they wanted to put in. And so we have the minutes that we could give to the board at the next meeting or we can wait till August meeting. But um
there there was a tremendous amount of conversation that happened on that day and so we wanted to make sure that word for word that everybody had those minutes. Um I would recommend that that we have a smaller group work on those minutes that we don't have two people because it we shouldn't have somebody from the whole group. And so if I
suggest that that you maybe have three people that would like to sit down and talk about trying to bring those minutes forward so that we can get those to the next meeting. But this is the exact word for word. Why would we change it? >> Well, because normally you don't put everything in there. Um, and so it, you
know, Jamie has been trained in order to do that, make suggestion, then she shares it with me. So we wanted to make sure cuz some of the words that were coming back was not actually what was said. And so this is the exact transcript for your guys's conversation. And so again, I would recommend that you
do a small committee, Beth, maybe you, and two other people, and we sit and look to try to work that through and see if we can't collaborate and get a suggestion to the board. >> Okay, that's fine. We can talk about that >> tomorrow. I'm not meeting tomorrow with you. Sorry. >> Next week.
>> Yeah. Okay. Um, athletic equipment and uniforms for fall of 2026. So this is uh what is being recommended by Chuck uh for the fall. Um boys soccer, you can see the practice ball is
the items that we need. Volleyball, the same thing with some jerseys that need to be replaced, not the entire jerseys. The junior high football team needs new jerseys. Um I think last year they had some matching ones, maybe not spelled correctly as well. and high school football the items that they need to
make sure that we have safety pieces in place for a cost of not to exceed 15,12179. >> I have one question on this. I think I asked months back when volleyballs were suggested for like the spring sports like I feel like the past two years
we've brought in 30 volleyballs and 30 volleyballs and 30 vols. Can we just double check that like what we have and they're not being taken or like it just seems like a lot of volleyballs all the time. Well, I think um yes, it does, but I do believe that they are uh used by
girls and boys and the athletic department and when anybody's in that gym. Um so I think it's been almost every year that we've been here, we've gotten new practice balls. >> I just feel last year we did twice, too. So I just I just want to double check. >> Yep. We will ask I'm assuming Chuck did,
but I will ask him to reook and get back with me on that. >> Okay. Uh grants 31N. It says six. Are there six of them? >> Sorry. >> Probably not. >> Uh so this is a grant that was submitted. Um and this is to the ISD and
this uh maintains a BCBA and a social worker for us for the next school year. So all these grants that we talked about that we were holding on, we're just kind of giving you information. They're happening um and they are coming through for us to to do. This is the BCA and the bachelor's level social worker that we just
>> No, this is a different one of that. We had already had for this year a BCBA and a social worker, certified social worker that was going between our elementary schools. >> Oh, nice. So, this would be incoming. >> Yes, it would be maintaining what we have. >> Okay.
>> You received that last year. >> Okay. Next is the Oakland schools resolution and bylaws that we need to vote on at the next meeting because that's due by June 26th. So, um I guess read those over and
um be prepared to vote special education equipments. >> Yes. This request is for a Riftton activity chair. This chair will be located at this time at Web Elementary
School for one of our going into first grade students. Um, if you look at the information that's provided, it is actually a chair that that the staff are able to move up and down and move around. It is a very
supportive chair. The student particular student is non-ambulatory. she does not walk and it takes um a lot of the physical lifting and moving off of pair of professionals and allows the equipment to do that for them.
And it allows us to not purchase different um tables at different heights because we can actually move the chair up and down to fit the table that she's seated at. So, it's paid out of general fund and
not special ed because it is web. >> Uh, yeah, it's it's paid out of the general fund because it's for one of our resource room students. It's not a central program student. >> The center program. Okay. Any questions? No.
>> I It It says room to grow. How many years do they think that someone could fit in it? the whole elementary career or >> my my professional um experience is that you usually need
two different sizes in elementary school. >> Okay. So, two or three years and then >> two or three and then you get a bigger chair >> and then it'll be there for somebody else. >> No, I'm I'm just it just said room to grow. I just wondered how long you would get to grow in it. >> And our physical therapist actually can do the adjustments on the chair. So, she
takes care of all that for us. Okay. Okay. The fantastic eighth grade Washington DC trip 2027. >> Yes. And we requested that we get this on here now so that uh we can uh get our
families uh ready to sign up and moving forward and hopefully doing some fundraising to go because we know that it's an experience that so many of our kids have enjoyed over the years and we're glad to have had this back. >> How many kids went this year? We never
get a wrap-up report. I think 10 >> 110 >> I thought it was 10 >> only 10 times 10 >> it was small this year >> it was small I don't have the exact numbers >> they didn't fundra last year for it >> which made it a little cost prohibitive and so um we hope that they will be able
to present to us a plan for fundraising so that our kids can go >> okay Henry Ford Southeast Michigan community health mou >> this is just for our um our clinic and just changes some wording for us because
they were bought up. >> That's the high school clinic. >> Yes. >> Okay. Hearing nothing. 26 27 Ulta contract renewal. >> Same. This is every year we do an ULA contract renewal. So, this is um just
changing to be to make sure that we're okay still. Everything stays the same for the 26 27 days. >> Is this head start? >> Yes. And that didn't have a what did they pay us? It didn't have that in there. >> Um, if I'm going off the top of my head,
it is 16,000. I'm looking toward you, Monica. >> I think it's 25. >> Huh? >> I think it's 25. >> 25,000. >> I think it's I'm almost positive it's 25. >> I don't have the top head, but we're having Monday. >> Yes.
>> Uh 2637 superintendent memberships. That speaks for itself. >> Yep. Just putting them all in one motion for you to be able to approve at one time. >> Uh digital billboard advertising. >> Okay. So, we were able to meet with Joe
um last week um and have discussions about its time to be advertising June and July heavy. A lot of our school districts have opened up their borders even more so into out of district or out of county as well. So, we want to make sure that uh and we also have people putting billboards in our community now
as well on top of Oak Park of some of the ones that are coming in. So, we're going to um put it on more billboards and into uh Madison and into Wayne as well. >> Are we doing anything additional that I get those really nice color big
postcards from everywhere? Are we doing >> happy to Chuck when I get lamps at least four or five times a year in my door? Uh, but we've bought the ads on top of the CG newspaper as well. And then our news, our book that we send out should
also be helping facilitate that as well. But we don't send those notepads like that into other districts anymore. We used to. He doesn't feel that it's as helpful as the billboards. >> How many billboards does this get us? Like what does this get us billboards?
>> We don't give an exact number of billboards. We had um he just gives us a number of hits and so if you saw we only had two or three different billboards in Hazel Park. I didn't go outside of Hazel Park. So this is going to go outside of Hazel Park. >> So it's doubling our coverage.
>> Did it double the cost? What did we think? >> It doubled the cost. >> Yeah. But I I do believe we have to get more competitive. We've lost kids to Ferndale out of web um because they have the new shiny beautiful school and we've got to find some other students. until
we can get us a new beautiful shiny school. >> Any thought on radio or television at >> Doesn't seem to be the big head anymore. >> Oh yeah, they used to do television. >> Yeah, people aren't listening to radio and um television. They
>> cuz everybody streams stuff now. >> They were they were doing some in the movie theaters. They were doing they're doing stuff all over the place. Yes. >> What about uh buying packages on like hits for Facebook? We have done that before and Chuck has grabbed on to that as well.
>> Just curious. >> Okay. Uh, MacBook purchase. >> Go ahead, Mr. Wilkins. I actually have a question for you this time. Go ahead. >> Oh, well, you want to tell us about it first?
>> Uh, yeah. This is for almost half the staff devices and the administrators. Um, this is in my three-year plan. So, this is our refresh. >> Okay. So, my question says, we'll be trading in existing devices for a credit back to the district. Do you have an estimated amount on that credit?
>> They gave me an estimated credit of 60,000. Um, but they said more than likely it'll probably be around 40, you know, once they get them and go through them all and check if they're damaged or dented, scratched, stuff like that. and he did ask me if we could purchase more devices with that and I
said no for this year as we're continuing to walk our credit up but let's just do with what we approved put that $40,000 back in towards that purchase and we'll see where we're at from there as my question if you had the estimated credit. >> Mhm.
>> Anybody else? No. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> 2627 MSBO membership renewals. I can't get the pull up. Um, this is the uh business office and
human resources MSBO membership renewal. Um, so there are uh eight people listed. Um, it's $150 a person, so it' be $1,200 for the renewal. Last year we did seven. This year we're including um our accounts
payable person as well. This is the same membership. You know, we go to the conference. Um, a number of us get certified through here. Chris, are you just finishing? >> I have one I'm still got one more class.
>> I have two classes to take by December 31st. Yeah, there. >> Good job, ladies. >> Anybody? No. Okay. >> This is a request to the board for uh to discuss Judy Patterson. >> Um no, we're at
>> I have fund balance policy. >> Yeah, I have fund balance policy and I needed to send it so it could be an attachment. So, we'll have to handle this next month. >> It'll have to be in August because July >> All right. August. Yep.
Yep. uh latch key 2627 latch key 2-year-old and preschool academy fees. >> You the board requested this to come back as um you did not want to increase fees and so you asked for it to come
back for this discussion. >> Anybody have question comment? >> I don't have any questions for >> Is this the same as it was presented >> last time or is there change to it? No change. It is exactly what we presented
last time and it has presented it. >> Yes. >> Great question. >> Um after school academic support 26. >> So I I think the uh administration needs clarification because you didn't at the
last meeting you did not want to prove an increase and ask for us to bring it back here for conversation. And so it is still our recommendation that we do a small increase. Um, but we need direction from the board if you want us to change that recommendation that you
asked us to bring it back. >> Oh, so you can present it on Monday like it is or we need to change it now if we want to change it. Is that what you're saying? >> We need your direction and guidance about you. You you asked us to bring it back for discussion to the board. We recommended an increase. You guys wanted
to bring it back for this discussion at this meeting. And so we need guidance on whether you want us to leave the increase or if you want it to stay the same for the school year and you wanted to have a conversation around that. >> I think it's I I don't have any changes to it. >> So
>> So are you saying are we saying that we agree with the increase >> or do you want to say that's the conversation? >> So are we saying that as a board? Do we want to keep the increase as presented the last time? >> Where was the in where was the increase at? It >> was the half day. It was this one,
right? The afternoon session and the morning session. >> Would you like Dr. D to remind us >> in the summer break through? >> Yeah. So, the increase. >> Oh, we remember it. >> No, I want to know where the increase was cuz it's not on here as an increase. >> So, the two changes were the summer the
fees for the summer. I believe it was increased, sorry, I don't think this is on um from $100 to 150. And the other increase, as Trusty Becker said, was the increase on the half day. There's a half day fee
that we have not been charging in the past. When we have half days, um, area programs do charge it. And so that was the other increase. Other than those two things, everything else is exactly as it has been in the past. >> So the elementary age children afternoon
session, is that what you're saying? >> Correct. >> Not the afternoon session under Latchki. That didn't change. >> Well, this is preschool. >> So, >> Oh, that is preschool. >> So, on half days, not and let let me just say that this isn't preschool right now. On half days in our elementary
programs, like when the district has half days, so for report cards or something like that, we provide care for students so families can still have the continuation. And that is what that additional fee is for, just any half day in the district. It wouldn't be like
sometimes we have half days before um a a uh vacation, a break. We're not talking about that. We're talking about like when there's a half day for conferences or something like that. And then there is an increase in the summer fees because um those have been
wonderful for families. We do feel I think we saw some information about the childare fund um that we need to potentially think about some increases to continue to support. >> Dr. of that for this summer coming up where right now or for next summer? >> For next summer, we agreed that we would stay status quo now because we did not
communicate this to families and that this would start in the fall, the 2627 school year into the summer. So, it would not impact this summer. We would we would not do that to our families at this late time. That would not be >> I think this is a modest increase and I
agree with Dr. Delm. I think we should follow her recommendation. That's just my personal opinion. Um it's a modest increase and child care you know is expensive but I still don't think is it's this is as expensive as you would
have to do a babysitter and this is my >> okay >> but I think who brought it for attention was uh trustee fortress so she might
have more on this at our next meeting I don't Oh, >> we can discuss again if we vote. So, she'll be here to provide input. >> I just have I'm going back to because I made a note. Is that actually the one we had to supplement
>> or that we had for >> a childare fund? Yep. Okay. >> I think it was um Secretary Beaten and myself that had the conversation about the increase. I think
Fortress said it was okay um with her. >> So, I apologize. >> Um no, I just think it needed to be clarified. >> Yes, most. >> Um so, anyway, I I'm okay. I see the comparisons
with those other districts, so I'm fine with it with what you presented. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Okay. So, it stands as as it is. >> Yeah. I
I voted in favor for it last time, but there were points brought up that were reasonable that made sense as to why you might not want to uh I'm kind of in the middle on it. I'm okay with them. I understand, especially now with seeing,
you know, that deficit in child care uh balance, but I definitely empathize with both sides of this. So, uh, I think it could be good discussion next week, but I'm okay with it as presented. >> And it's nice it's not going to start
this year. Well, this summer. >> Okay. So, next is district attorney. And I think this >> Sorry, it was after school after school. >> I I jumped way too far. >> 26 27 after school academic support.
>> Yes. So this is um the memo that we bring to you about this time every year. This is really to provide during the school year our academic support, our tutoring, our credit recovery, our homework help at all of our buildings. Uh well, the majority of them had advantage his park high school, the
junior high, and our three elementary buildings as presented right now, but it'll really change by Monday. And I did put the the details in there. you know, we were right in the middle of um when the contract was going to be approved and so the curriculum rate will increase
to $50 an hour versus 45. So there will be an increase. So instead of the 238, uh 140, the increase would be a total for total be 264,600. I want um to remind the board though
that we do for our elementary we utilize our community schools grant. It does not cover everything but it covers the vast majority of it. So I just wanted to make sure that we brought that up. So that really is going to um be covered by general funds. Some of it is a general
fund, some of it's community school expansion grant. And then at advantage we have often utilized 31A funds. So whenever possible, we will certainly um push that into a grant and then the remainder will be um in the general fund. This is a wellused program
throughout the district. And actually, you know what? Let me correct myself at the elementary and the junior high because the junior high also has um benefiting from the community school grant. So we hope that we can move this forward. Again, it's very well used. It's um something that is looked forward
to for by our buildings because they feel it's very beneficial to students and I know it's um a service that our families love that we provide for our students. Okay. Any comments, questions? >> And the numbers will be updated for Monday.
>> Okay. Thank you. >> Now we have district attorney. Mhm. >> Um I think it needs to be re revisited, but I don't think it should be in public. And I think that since um Heidi Ford just brought it up, I
think she should be part of the discussion, but I don't think it should be a public discussion as personnel. >> It can't be a It can't be a close session discussion. I don't believe what you would have that under. >> It can't be. >> No, you cannot.
>> Okay. Well, I we still need to wait. I don't know if we do it on Monday then. >> Um >> I would say >> because I would like her to be a part of this. >> Well, I I think you'll have to wait till August then. I mean, the board certainly can place it on there, but we we won't
have a recommendation for it. So, the board would have to, you know, perhaps want to have a discussion on how you would like to handle that, but it's not a close session agenda item. I was not sure what we were all >> Yeah. What is the discussion?
>> We all voted. >> I just said I want to have the discussion in public. So, I have to figure out and I want Heidi to uh speak to it. So, I'm not commenting on this.
So, I guess we wait till August. >> Yeah, you will have to have a a conversation in public uh on that and what the board's uh willing for this. the staff is not recommending a school district position. So, if you're looking at adding another attorney firm outside
of our our FTE members, the board certainly can do that, but it will have to be an open session at this session. >> Okay. All right. Wellness committee. >> Uh the long awaited Hazel Park School's wellness document is finished. We met as
a committee last week to review the finalized document as well as the wells score which is the um assessment tool that we had approved earlier on to judge ourselves on how
well our wellness document was. Um if you wanted to know about some meeting minutes that was also printed and left at the table for you. Um at our last meeting we went through uh question by question on the scorecard
to discuss if there was anything we wanted to change based on our score and none of the members present um decided that we wanted to change anything. So that this final document is there for your approval next week so we can get that up on the section of the website it needs to be on. I had one question. Who
is on the committee? Because the minutes don't have the names. >> So, it was a rewelving amount of people. We had um if you remember sent out um survey to garner interest. So, uh we had members of the community schools were on
it. We had different principles that would show up. So, um it was really honestly a revolving number of people there. There was um not there was a board member who came to a few meetings um but there was not a
membership that was consistent other than like myself I think Carla was at almost all the meetings um Missi was there but uh so this this is not for board approval um if you look at this specifically it focuses on the superintendent's job to do this develop
the committee and then put a link up on the website and then they'll continue who meet on a regular basis. Part of this is moving it over to the nurs's oversight from wellness after this first piece has been done. So it'll come under the director of student service, executive director of student service and the nurses which are under her
oversight moving forward and moving on a regular basis. And so the purpose is to develop smart goals and have them linked on your website. >> So we don't approve the policy. >> It's not. >> It's not policy. So the policy was already approved. This is just policy is in your policies that you already approved. That was the board. The policy
says we have to have a wellness policy that's developed. >> That's this >> the first part of the document lists the actual policy right out of um Miller Johnson's um >> and you've already approved that >> and you've approved that and then below it talks about the things that we need
to do to um to go along with our wellness policy. So we had food and nutrition was involved with us. Miss Sap was with us at many of the meetings. If she couldn't attend, Ashley was there. Um, so this does go through, you know, what our nutrition
standards meet in that policy, what the PE and physical activity opportunities meet in that policy, um, how we promote and market it, any other activities that may be out there, and then our implementation and measurements. So, our measurement really was um to put us up
against the assessment tool that we had chosen as a group. And there your the scorecard is um attached as well. And the wellness committee will meet on an ongoing basis, but I believe it doesn't have to be reertified for two years, >> right? We have to do a trianual reessment assessment. So, yeah, in a
couple of years. >> Sure. I would like to request a list of the people that had input that came and went and who all was involved. I'd like to have the names. >> Sure. I can um go based off of the uh people who said yes to my invites.
>> Okay. I might want to thank them for spending their time doing it. >> Anybody else? >> Is the Wellsat score a 012 rating? >> Yes. >> Um some of the items that we would get a
um a lower number on when we went through all the questions. Um one of the items that we took a zero on was a a reward. You know, food and beverages service plus parties. You know, how do we regulate that very strongly? And while we do, we don't say, "Oh, you absolutely cannot have a pizza
party for your second graders because they, you know, read the most books in March." >> Yes, actually we do, but it hasn't been. >> It's in there. We asked them not to, but you know, we >> So, they we asked our principles not to do that because it also competes with our food service program and it's a
violation of smart things, but they do. >> I thought the wellness scorecard was uh interesting. the wells score. I thought it was a good tool. >> We know we also participate with um some fundraising bagel sales at most of our schools. That would, you know, we
wouldn't want to take that away because that would take away funding from some of the activities that we do. So, you know, sometimes you have to accept a lower score than on the particular item, but principles still have to follow the Smart School app. And so when they are doing fundraisers, they have a form that
has to be filled out and turned in to make sure we're not violating the National Lunch Program, which could cause us to lose dollars from there as well. So it's really important they follow the process in in documenting that to Brenda. >> Okay. Anybody else? Nope. Okay. Ma
membership. >> This is for Dr. for MASA. >> It's just a re yearly renewal of the MASA. >> Oh, no, no, no. I was saying this is for membership. So, this is just for her, >> too. I'm like, great.
>> Yeah. Yeah. No, no, no. Thank you. >> It's for Dr. Doitch to cover membership for you. >> No questions. >> Okay. No. Yeah. No comments, no questions. Uh, RS curriculum purchase. Is that how you say it or errors? It's it's actually a yes and I believe that
you should have some information attached >> uh regarding what this includes but basically this is a curriculum we use all the way from Webster with our students with special needs through the junior high level. So lots and lots of
students have access to this and ARIS does stand for academic readiness intervention system. So it is very comprehensive and utilized by many of the professionals on the team that work with our students. So pair professionals, speech and language
pathologists, special ed, um teachers, BCBAs, they're all they all have their hands in this curriculum and are really building our students up foundationally um from the base. One really important
component to know is that data and research shows us that the stronger we we develop their them foundationally as young early childhood um education and their early childhood education and elementary education, the fewer
placements they have throughout um their schooling in birth through 26 years old. So it really is an investment in their future and in their growth that basically focuses on um language, motor skills, social skills, routines, um
reading and writing. There's math involved and cognitive play. So when we look at a curriculum like this for special ed, it's very comprehensive. Um the tier 2 implementation includes the
um computer component, the online access for five classrooms. It also includes uh the box that has lots of supporting material. It's actually really cool. So there's the word, there's the picture,
there's the object. So they have lots of touch points where they can learn. Um, this also includes training for 30 people. So, it's a live training through AIS for 30 people. So, that's going to be your psyches, social works, uh,
speech and language path, special ed teachers, BCBAS, and then they also do three touch points virtually throughout the year where they do coaching and really help um our will help our staff in their ability to use this. Um, it it
is a a really big program. I mean, there's really no other way to say it, right? There's over 200 lessons. There's lots of equipment. So, it takes a lot of instruction and professional learning to really develop
as an educator or a support ancillary to be able to use this. But, um, we're bringing it to you for approval. uh in a total of about 62,000. Um that could go down a little bit based
on if we open our classrooms at Edison. Um if we do, we'll keep it right at that level. Uh but we would certainly in student services think this is a a very comprehensive and um a very good investment for our students in our community. >> And it was part of her plan. I think
it's a little bit higher than what was in the plan. I see you coming through that. I was trying to find it cuz I knew it is in there. It is in there. There's a little bit more and that's because of some of the training costs that that have to be added into it. Just like when we did literacy, we had to have people come in to help
make sure that we're implementing that fidelity across the district. >> And this is a new since I couldn't find it when we've been here as I'm trying to come through. This is new curriculum, correct? >> This we have stage one right now. We piloted that uh last year. So it is in
two different classrooms. We only have one box. They share it. Um so this is adding the next level for all. Okay. Anybody questions? Nope. Okay. Thank you. So we are on to public comment and seeing no one in the
audience, we're moving to adjournment. >> I would do one two more things if I could please. Um, would that be okay, President? >> Yes. >> Okay. So, one, I want to remind you that this Thursday we have live at Lawnfellow with music. Bring your picnic table and
a lawn chair. There'll be some hot dogs from 6:30 to 8. And then the charge on Mrs. Burn's was food um, you know, food distribution under the community school grant. Mr. Richardson hasn't answered yet, so we'll give him >> Okay.
>> I do. I have his answer. >> You do? >> Yes, I do. >> Look at that. It said it was for mulch for graduation at the schools, junior high, high school, Uber, United Oaks. That's what the Phoenix zone was. >> So, it's pretty mulch. Mulch for the plants. >> Oh, and I just have one thing if you
don't mind, President L is for the water. >> I just want to say congratulations to softball and baseball for winning districts. They both went to regionals this past week. They both lost, but kudos to the players, the coaches. They they really worked hard. It was even watching the other teams. They they were
just beautiful teams and they they should be proud in the district. >> Motion to support. All in favor?
