have any questions on attendance? We're at agenda approval. Does anyone have any additions or corrections to the board agenda? >> I had one addition just to Jake Pride number three and Jake Pride. >> All right. So, I'm looking for a motion
to approve the agenda. >> I'll make the motion. >> All right. There's a motion. Is there a second? Second. Is there any discussion? >> All in favor say I. I. Against. Motion passes. 72.
Next up is open forum. Rules for open forum, 3 minutes per speaker. Open forum shall not take more than a total of 15 minutes. No complaints about individual staff members, about students, or about other persons are permitted. All presenters will conduct their business
in a manner that meets community standards for decorum. The board will not take action on items presented in an open forum. Brian, did anyone sign up for open forum with you? Nope. >> Does anyone wish to speak? Austin. >> Hi, Eller. >> Hi. >> How's it going? >> Good. You?
>> Well, little repressed memories pulling in here. Sorry, Brian, but the last time I was at a board meeting here, I ended up backing up into a staff member's vehicle >> and I parked next to your truck. So, that that was my thought when I pulled in. >> So, just wanted you to be perfect. >> Yes. See you at 7:45 tomorrow morning.
>> Going to recover. >> Um, but no, we're doing good. I just wanted to uh take my three minutes, which will probably more like a minute um and just talk about some subbing stuff and just throw something at your plate. I know you can't take action on anything, but maybe just stew on it, think it over, and uh love to see
something happen eventually. But with subbing at the elementary school, it's a little different than at the high school. Um grade levels have to split. If there's three sections, a lot of grades have two, which I think Skyler will talk about later. Um, it just seems like we're hurting for subs at the
elementary school. Um, and I always felt it takes a very niche person to sub in our building. Um, and I think one of the main reasons for that is it's just not a very appealing job or appealing thing to do. Um, and I think that's the problem that we can kind of tackle is fixing
that and making it more appealing. Um, so I kind of was thinking about some benefits or some perks that we could throw at this uh potential subbing handbook contract. Um, and the first two that popped up, well, there's probably more, but the first two I thought of
were looking at giving either free or discounted rates to subs or fitness center. Um, which would be similar to what staff would get. Um, just looking at the fitness center itself, it's $25 a month. Um, or 250 a
year. Um, looking at the walking track or two separate prices be $5 a month or 60 bucks a year. Um, I don't know if that would draw some people in, but I think it would be a start. I think if we had some flyers out, hey, put this up in
the walking track. Interested in free walking track? Free fitness center? uh come with us, something like that. Couple other options too that I just were, you know, spitballing with myself was looking at athletic packages for attending sports. Maybe we could find a
discounted rate there for subs as well. Um I just think that that would go a long way to enticing subs to come and sub with us and stay with us. >> Questions. >> Thank you, Austin. >> Thanks,
>> All right. Anybody else wish to speak? All right, we will move on to the consent agenda. Does anyone need anything pulled from the consent agenda and placed later in the agenda for further discussion? >> Then I'm looking for a motion to approve
the consent agenda. >> I'll move that. >> All right, there's a motion. Is there a second? >> I'll second. >> All right. All right. Is there any discussion? All in favor say I. >> I. >> Again say I.
>> Motion passes 70. Done the bills. All right. If you have questions on the bills, please state the page number and bill number. Does anybody have any questions on the bills? If not, I'm looking for a motion to pay
the bills. I'll make the motion. >> There's a motion. Is there a second? >> I'll second. >> There's a motion and a second. Is there any discussion? All in favor say I. >> Against say I
passes 70. >> And then we're at reports. Start with Brian. >> Mine is short and sweet this month. Um just an update on meetings for both myself and for board members. Um this Wednesday, it's not on the report, but
this Wednesday, if any of you would like to go to the Plane County leadership meeting, it's at East Central at 6:00 p.m. If you could let me know because they want to plan to have enough food. Um but we've had quite a few meetings in the last month, so I'll let the rest of
the agenda speak for that. >> All right. Thank you, Brian. Does anybody have any questions for Brian? All right, then we will move on to our high school principles report. Mr. Latimore. >> Good evening, everybody. Uh, so let's
just go through I just uh kind of pull what was from last year as well as we go through things. So, just showing you what we had for attendance for third quarter. We are now week two in fourth quarter. Um so that was our um high school attendance, our enrollments, uh
our March behavior data for major minor um the chart there uh 89 8.99% and two. So again we want that to be 85 10 and five. So right right in line for our monthly uh look at what we're
looking for on that. Um I do have the comparison um year to year um below that um so you can kind of see where we stack up um from year-over-year um in that category. It is registration
uh scheduling time. So we are going through that still working with some of our service providers like ECME for our um ITV classes and what that will look like. Um, Miss Katie Hardle and myself have been looking at uh um what classes
will be and hopefully we'll have that done in May. So, we'll be ready to uh go for next year. Uh MCA testing is right here. Uh we've got uh reading, math, and
science. So at the um reading eighth or 7th, 8th and 10th take it at the high school. Math is 7th 8th and 11 and science is 8 and 10 grades that take those. In years past we've had a lot of
um like juniors and seniors don't come in till 11:00. Uh 9th graders, we got to find something for you to do for the morning. Um so we've had a lot of um disruptions in the day. This year we're trying something a little bit different. Um well I shouldn't say a little bit a
lot different. Um we are having students take the MCAs in the media center. So we'll have starting tomorrow morning 7th grade will be in the media center for uh reading. Uh and then in the afternoon it'll be um the eighth graders and then Wednesday morning 10th graders will take
English. So everybody's coming to school on time. Everybody's going to classes where they need to be. Um so as little disruption as possible to the uh to the day. Um, so that's what we uh decide to do this year. Next week it'll be math.
So it'll be 8th grade in the morning, 7th grade in the afternoon on Tuesday, and 11th grade will take it on Wednesday morning. Uh, and then science will be on the 28th Tuesday. So two weeks. Uh, and we'll just do um 8th or 10th. We're still trying to figure out who's playing
when and where they're going to see if 10th grade will be in the afternoon or the morning or whatever just for baseball, softball, track, and field. So, um, little something new. We're trying here to to limit the disruption to the to the day as much as possible cuz once in a while is okay, but having
it disrupted three weeks in a row is really difficult, especially when our kids love, um, routines. Um, so that's what we have going on. So, I'm excited to try that. Uh, like I said, our class sizes are such that we'll be able to get everybody into the media center. uh we
will have an overall proctor but then those teachers that teach seventh grade or eighth grade 10th you know whatever it is if they are have those grades that hour they will be in the media center proctoring uh the MCA is for our students. Uh and then if you have any
questions we'll just wait because I got these two rock stars behind me that want to talk. >> Spring sports are kicking off or I guess in full swing now. track. We had our first real meet or what I consider a
real meet last week, Thursday. Um, we're doing good. There's quite a few of us out. I think there's 16 seniors. We're still have a couple injuries, but we'll all be back hopefully by the time competition season comes. And then
softball is one and one. And then they had a game tonight and I'm not sure how that panned out. >> Two and one. >> Two in one. Okay. Um, baseball. We had our first game on Thursday last week. It was very cold and it was very windy. Uh, we lost DC 5 to
three, so it was a close one. It was pretty fun. This week we have three games. Next week we have four and they're just going to keep powering through these games until the end of the year cuz it's going to get hectic. Um, golf. Are they outside yet? They've been inside forever. >> They went to the course today for the
first time. So >> that's wonderful. Uh, speech has their next meet on this Friday. Um, I'm pretty sure they're entering their section meet >> next week.
>> Oh, this Friday. Okay. >> And then, oh, uh, last week we had our band and choir solo ensemble competitions. Thursday, Friday. There were lots of superiors and excellence to go around, so that was good. And I think everything
went pretty smoothly from my perspective if you guys agree. >> And then this Friday is a busy day at the high school. We have the pow-wow happening in the afternoon and then we're also having our last blood drive. >> And then we're also excited for prom
next weekend. >> It's next weekend I think. So lots and lots of stuff going on. All right. Does anybody have any questions for First, we'll do Grady and Haley? >> All right. Any questions for Joe?
>> Okay. All right. Thank you all. >> Thank you. >> Then we will move on to our elementary principal. Go ahead. >> Good evening. Um kind of feel like an echo to Joe, but our MCAs are kicking off. We have our
MCAs with reading MCAs on Thursday, math the following Thursday, science the following Thursday after that for our fifth graders. Uh fifth graders are the only ones that take science in our elementary building. Um meeting with our leadership team. Uh the last couple
years we've tried to incentivize it kind of as a whole school. Uh they decided that they kind of wanted to do just classroom. They want to do their own. We do not get our reading results right away. So, um, we're going to let them take charge of that and kind of see how that goes. And hopefully we'll just fire
our kids up to do their absolute best they can and without, you know, putting too much anxiety on them that this is this is our one time to show what we got, but just understanding that they've learned a lot and here's our opportunity to show us what they've learned. So,
looking forward to see how they do on our tests. Um, we tried something a new incentive this year called Book Blast. um partnered with books are fun. Um each student had to sign up 10 names. Each parent of the student had to sign up 10
names. If they signed them 10 names up, they got a little uh prize pack. Um and then those 10 people uh were reached out to to say, "Hey, would you like to donate?" um whether they participate or not. Uh as long as we checked our boxes
that we had to check, every student will get a personalized delivered uh book to them on a date yet to be determined. I meet with them on the 20th after this is over. Um I've had one concern saying the messaging maybe is a little bit
different. So I'll bring that up to them on the 20th just to kind of see if they've had other feedback in that regard. But uh the kids were super excited. We've had three winners at each building that have received a treasure chest and it's got like $2 bills and
dollar coins and I don't think kids know what dollar coins are. So, that was kind of fun to see. Um, prek just with our staffing is going to remain the same this year or next year it is this year. Um, meaning we're going to have four days a week of
four-year-old programming and offer some time for three-year-olds on that Friday. Um we'd like to come in five days a week. We just can't do that with the current staffing that we have. Uh you can see our class sizes that we're looking at for next year. Um most
sections are going down to two. We do have a couple that will stay at three and then we're going to put kindergarten back up to three at Hankley with um keeping that at 13 kids. Um we have some pretty busy classrooms
right now in prek. So splitting them into three versus two is something we're excited about. Um you can see fees kind of will remain the same um in their numbers there as well. Like Grady had mentioned, it's a busy year all the way
around. Our fifth graders went on at at Hley went on their field trip today and it just feels like there's something every single day. And then we throw testing and other benchmarking in on top of that. So we buckle up and just we get through the end of the year with keeping those kids on track and sticking to our
our routine is what help makes our kids successful. So um we have Pause Bucks and Jag store that we continue to uh entice our kids with, encourage our kids with, and they seem to um get excited about that. So we have roller skating
back in both buildings. The kids love it. Um, I don't know. Fenisonson's been doing it for quite a few years. Ankley, this is probably year three, maybe four. Had a few more injuries this year than ankles. >> Hey, stay in your lane. Uh, few more
injuries maybe this year than in the past. So, maybe we'll start serving some extra milk at lunchtime. I don't know. Uh, and I guess the exciting part to wrap up my report with is the behavior data. You can see there for Hankley and Finlesson. Uh we're well within that
MTSS model. 85% in Hankley have not reserve received a referral during the third quarter. Uh only 31 kids got one. 25 who fell in that 2 to five range and then first time in a long time we haven't had any students who received
six or more during that period of time. So that's pretty amazing. Finson stats are there as well. 94% not receiving any referrals. one student had one and two students had two or more. So, pretty exciting news. Um, the behavioral
leadership that we're doing with Kid Whisper is paying off and our teachers are have grasped onto that and and really done a nice job with it. So, >> okay. Anybody have any questions for Bonnie? >> On number four, your class sizes. I'm
guessing that's >> this year's numbers and it's this year and next year, correct? Here I'll change that is 2627. >> Okay, >> that's what I have. >> Thank you for seeing that. >> Thank you. >> The error of my ways
had been one. I'll highlight it. There we go. Thank you. Yes, that is I'm not reliving this year again. >> Any other questions for Bonnie? >> Thank you, Bonnie. >> You're welcome. >> We will move on to board committees.
Would any board members like to present from their committees this past month? It's kind of a lot. >> All right, then we will move on to communications. >> There's none. >> All right, and then
um budget items on finished business. Brian, do you have any information you want to highlight? Yeah, I'd like to start with uh the capital budget and looking for approval on this, but I'm only looking for approval on the building and facilities part and the
technology part. I think we should wait on the transportation capital purchases until next month. So, um recommending approval of the building facilities and technology capital purchases for next year. >> Okay. Are there any questions about the
202627 capital budget facilities and capital only that has been presented? >> Is there any reason why we couldn't just defer this vote until next month so that we can look at it all at the same time?
I just feel like to approve one part of the capital budget but not another part to me it just doesn't make sense. It's like putting the cart in front of the horse. And I feel, for example, with transportation, there could very well be
a need for a school bus. That's a large expenditure. And so, do we have 150,000 just sitting around somewhere? And if we do need a school bus, which gets voted next month, would that affect
the part of the capital budget that we were looking at tonight? That's why I feel like it would make most sense to look at everything together. The technology should not wait. In my opinion, those prices continue to go up.
You could certainly wait on the building facilities, but at least the technology, the 42,000 and then the smartboards and iPads should be, in my opinion, approved tonight because those prices change all
the time. So, um, and you risk them just going up if we wait any longer. >> And the other with the buildings and ground that's coming out of that specific budget, isn't transportation a different budget? >> All three of the transportation per like
tires or buses or things, anything over $1,000 would be in this budget. Transportation as itself is a different budget, but if we're getting like big improvements, that would be under capital. So, it it could certainly be delayed,
but I I would ask at minimum approve the technology um devices probably down to at least the school board uh Chromebooks that are on here, lines 21 through 27.
>> Question. >> Um number 25, replace iPads. What is that? So, I apologize that Mike isn't here. I should have done this then. Um, what are those for versus the student devices? Do you know what the iPads are
for? >> Those lower grades in the elementary kindergarten from the elementary >> three are going to Chromebooks. >> Got Okay, thank you. So, those those
three are just Chromebooks. They're not. And that's the way I would. Okay. >> Correct. Correct. Those top three are Chromebooks. >> Okay. Thank you. >> There's no further discussion. We would be looking to for a motion to accept. >> We'll make that one.
>> The capital budget. Are you wanting to make the motion with the including the facilities and the capital? >> Okay. We have a motion. Is there a second? >> I'll second that. >> All right. There's a motion and a second. Any further discussion?
All in favor say I. I. Opposed. >> Opposed. >> All right. We will do roll call. Start with Dave. >> Yes. >> Jamie, >> yes. >> Leo, >> yes. >> Toby, >> no. >> Janelle, >> yes. >> Angela, >> yes. >> Heather, yes.
Motion passes 61. Otherwise, the next one I have is recommend approval of schoolboard goals based on input from the board the last few months. Uh looking for approval of the 2627 school board goals.
>> Are there any questions about the 2627 schoolboard goals? Right. If not, I'm looking for a motion to accept the school board goals. There's a motion. Is there a second? >> A second. >> A motion and a second. Is there any discussion?
All in favor say I. >> I. >> Oppose say I. >> Motion passes 70. >> Um otherwise you can see where our um enrollment is as of April 1st. Um we've
been right around that 805 to 810 roughly all school year. And then you can see where our daycare enrollment is. We talked about that a bit last week at our work session. So, uh, any questions on budget or unfinished business items?
>> Is that the policies? >> And so, we're at policy reapproval. So, we are looking at reapproving policy number 722, public data request, policy number 9003, visitors to school district
buildings and sites, and policy number 536, social media for student participants. >> Just add uh they're unchanged from last month except 536. The board had asked Mandy and I to put um some more language
into 536 and that has been added at the bottom. Are there any questions about the three policies that have been presented? >> And I'm looking for a motion to accept the three policies. I'll make a motion.
>> Second. >> There's a motion and a second. Is there any discussion? All in favor say I. I. Opposed. >> All right. Motion passes. 70. Then we are up to new business. We'll
start with Jaguar Pride, Amanda Davis, Carissa Osmus, Maggie Lee, Jessica Wool, George Gimple, Laura Gustoson, and Emma Freeling for facilitating kindergarten roundup night. It was great to see our families in the building. Mickey Coloulton and Jerry Loveren for providing busing for elementary students
on their reward day. Thank you to Joe Latimore for the kind donation of rod building and lure building supplies to the angling 2 class. Congratulations to Angle and listen's great river coach of the year. All conference and honorable mentions for the winter seasons. Dan Craft, boys basketball coach of the
year. Haley Guyger, girls basketball allconerence player, and Rowan Fatty, honorable mention. Grady Osmus, boys basketball allconerence player, and Blake Flowers, honorable mention. Speech, all conference winners. Noah Hickle was discussion, Isabelle Richtor,
extemporaneous reading, and Emma Pitts storytelling. And then we're at policy review first reading. >> Yep. I just want to hit on 704 because that one is not coming from MSBA, but it is coming from our auditors. Our
auditors have made recommended changes to 704. Uh quite a bit of them. So you can see that in there. And 721 is be is basically been rewritten. It used to be called the uniform grant. Now it's procurement policy. And you can see
MSBA had quite a few changes to that as well. Um I believe the health and safety policy there were there were not any changes just we hadn't updated it in a couple years. >> So we did not have a 704.
>> We did but uh we basically did not have the chart from number five down. So our um auditors wanted to see the depreciation table. And so why doesn't MSBA have one? >> They have one but without the chart. So
we had everything that MSBA has but our auditors wanted to see >> specifically a depreciation table. >> Thank you. >> Is there any other questions or discussion about the policies? >> All right. Then we will move on to
expenditures. You can see where we are in each of our uh fund areas. I'll note that uh you'll see that the capital did take an increase. That's because if you recall when we talked at our work session, we had some uh rollover capital
money that we were able to use. So, not coming out of the general budget, but it did increase our capital costs. Um otherwise, things are going as predicted. Transportation, as expected, is up a little bit with some of the repairs of having to send some things
out, but otherwise overall doing well compared to where we are in the school year. >> All right. Are there any questions or discussion about the expenditures that have been presented? All right. We will move on to the Kback lease. >> Looking for approval of the Kback lease.
Um, same terms as the board has approved last year. Um, we did do some research into this. We do not have to go out for bid. So, looking for approval of the Kbec lease. What was what were the taxes four years ago? Four years ago? I'd have to go
look. I don't know. And that's when the $700 is that how long that $700 has been in play? >> Correct. I feel that since taxes probably have
moved higher since then, I feel it would be um given our current financial crisis. I think it would be fair, more than fair, to at least have the uh
Danny Kbeck cover the taxes. And I feel that's generous on the part of the school district to uh not charge more than the taxes. >> So you want to more than double what you say? >> I I feel it should be at least cover the
taxes and I feel that's generous just to ask to cover the taxes. >> I don't think we should subsidize given our current financial position. I will say $700 is quite a deal as it is. >> Um,
what happens though? That is the land that's for sale. >> So, what would happen if the land sells? >> Yeah, I would wonder if we'd have to prorrate giving some of that back if it's sold >> depending on the time of year. >> Has there been any discussion with him
about the land being for sale? There has, but it was an offer that is less considerably than we had it listed for. >> But I mean, is he he's aware that the land is >> Yes, he's aware. Yes.
>> Okay. So, what >> we don't normally pay taxes unless somebody's paying us. >> Correct. >> Bridget, >> if >> Sorry, I'm calling Bridget. If it's not a school like school function type thing
on the land, then yes, we'd have to pay taxes. But if there's if there's like nothing going on there, >> the school just owns it, then we wouldn't have to pay taxes on it. >> So what if he's just maintaining the land and we don't charge him anything, do we still owe taxes? >> I think with the livestock and stuff on
there, using it for agricultural use, then it's taxed. >> Okay. So if Kbeck was not utilizing the property, there would be no tax. But since he is utilizing it, there is a tax.
>> That underscores my position that since he's using it and that's triggering a tax event, I feel he should cover the taxes. >> Has there been any cuz we debated this a little bit last year. Has there been any discussion with him about increasing the lease?
>> Not in a few years. Where are we selling the property? >> No one's made an offer. >> Is the city's property still um for sale? >> Is the city's property still for sale? >> Like that 40 acres of
35 acres, I believe. Is that >> something like that? >> Yeah. You mean the the field that's north of that? >> I think so. >> Yeah. My understanding is the city does not
pay taxes and Danny Kbeck donates money to the city to get around the tax. Is that possible, Bridget? Have you ever heard of such thing? >> I have not. I can count I can call the council tomorrow. >> Okay. >> Are we able to table this till next month or is it have to be
>> can be table. Can I make a motion to take over and see if we can either get some answers on that or maybe sell it? >> I'll second that. >> We have a motion in a second to table
this discussion until May. Any further discussion? >> And Brian will check out those talk to Danny in case we do sell it. >> Taxes. Okay. Good. So if the property is not sold, do do the
other board members feel like it would be a fair deal to just charge whatever tax event is triggered, let him cover the taxes since his use triggers that taxable event or you guys feel that is him not leasing
it at all. And it's not valuable land. It's covered in brush. I don't know how could even eat anything on it. You go buy it, it's just not a good pasture. It's not like it's rush. >> So then if he decides to walk away, then
we're saving ourselves $800 if taxes are $1,500. >> Mhm. >> So I if he walks away, maybe that's better for us. >> Maybe >> he's that beef cattle, right? >> And beef prices really did increase.
Is it possible to have a conversation with him before the next meeting to see if he would still want it for >> for sure >> if we did charge him the taxes? All right. So, there's a motion and a second to table this until May when we
have some further information and um we can bring it back then and discuss. All right. All in favor say I. I. >> Oppose say I. >> Motion passes. Seven. >> All right. And we were on to support
staff negotiations approval. recommending approval of uh the NE negotiation responses for full-time support staff, part-time support staff, and bus drivers. I'll have the full handbook at either May or June's meeting, but I wanted to get the
financials approved. So, I'm recommending the financials for each uh area of our support staff. >> So, it says that the board does not agree with the request that >> means we would not do it. >> Okay. I just wanted to clarify. No,
that's not just >> Are there any other questions about the support staff negotiations that have been presented? >> We're looking for a motion to accept the support staff negotiations. >> I'll move that.
>> There's a motion. Is there a second? >> Second. >> All right. Motion and a second. Any further discussion? All in favor say I. >> I. opposed. Motion passes 70. Next up is the girls hockey conversation.
>> So last month we had a citizen come to our board me meeting asking us to put this on the board agenda. We've talked about this uh a little bit this year and a little bit last year. I did have our AD reach out to Pine City. Um, in order
for this to happen, my understanding is both Pine City and MOA since that is the current co-op would have to agree. Um, when Mandy reached out to Pine City's AD, the impression that she got was Pine City was not interested. I asked Mandy
to get that in writing from Pine City. Uh, Pine City was not willing to put that in writing. So, could that change? I don't know. Um, but as of Mandy's conversation with Pine City AD, they were not interested in doing that. Um,
I've heard rumor. I don't know that it's true, but I've heard other schools may be interested as well. So, I don't know if they're exploring all options or what, but they wouldn't put it in writing, but that's what they had verbally told Mandy.
So, that that's kind of where I've gotten on that. >> So, they don't want to have a part partnership with Hley Fenison. it based on Mandy's our AD's conversation with Pine City's AD, it doesn't sound like it for girls hockey. >> Was there a reason given?
>> I don't know. Well, so I wonder if part of it there's other schools looking and they don't want that to grow. I don't know for sure cuz they wouldn't put it in writing. Could it change? I guess I don't know that either, but >> curious why they would put it in writing if they don't want I mean
>> me as well. >> Can she go back and We're now providing transportation. So for us to provide transportation two ways like >> we are already at that point where boys are there like in wrestling.
>> I had her ask verbally two or three times told them I wanted it in writing. They initially said they would give it in writing and then last week they said they wouldn't. >> So they maybe are considering it >> maybe. At what point are they going to
give us a decision like a final? >> I don't know if I don't know if it's open or just something they wouldn't put in writing. >> Is there a next step for somebody else to reach out to Pine City then if it's a conversation that's not?
I mean, I could call their superintendent and find out. >> I mean, if they know our our wise as to why we want to have it co-op there versus most like >> maybe that'll help. >> Yeah. Especially to have like a definite
answer and a reason as to why like that. It's >> how many players does it impact? How many players would >> would be going like one one or two families for sure
and we have one or two families for sure that are current in Moose Lake. >> It is kind of hard to know though because you can sometimes have more just from the building going. like there was additions into wrestling too because the
transportation was there and so >> more it's it wasn't drastically but I'm just saying like you can slowly grow it and so it's hard to say too because maybe if that was a thing that happened you might see more participation especially if you have these cameras
that are split and they already have a son going to Pine City for hockey >> and now you can send your daughter in the same direction you might have a bigger draw for Maybe they don't have room for more children or more more students. I don't know.
>> If I may, >> sorry. Go for it. If I look at this, so part of the and this is just me spitballing. So part of the deal with with that is um Pine City is a class A school and and it says they have
themselves MOA um Rush City and Bram are part of their co-op. if you go above a certain number, you have to play double A. So, I don't know if that's part of the deal, what they're looking at in terms of number wise. Um, but just looking at three of the schools are at
800. So, and 1018 was the cut off this year. So, that might be that's just me speculating about what might happen in terms of number-wise. If you go over 1018 enrollment, you have to be in
double A. That should be something they can like black and white tell us though and reach out. This would put us over to change. >> Is that the reason? >> And if that's it, then like if they could just tell us >> like it would be it would be a lot. >> Like I said, we thought we were going to get something in writing and then Mandy

increase >> as discussed at the work session. looking for approval to do a rate increase effective in May. Um reason we're looking to do this is um we don't have as many infants as we thought. So this would help us get better in the
projection what we had projected for revenue uh last year. So looking for approval of this daycare tuition to take effect in May. >> Right. Are there any questions or discussion about the day daycare tuition increase?
Is it I'm sorry. Is this is still fairly consistent with? >> Yes. >> Any further questions? >> So, I'm looking for a motion to accept the DARE tuition increase. >> I'll move that.
