I'm going to call this meeting of the ISD board of education to order. Welcome everyone. It's really nice to see so many in the audience today. Um, welcome and happy new year. Tonight's first item of business is the approval of the
agenda. I'll entertain a motion. >> I'll move to approve the agenda. >> A second. >> All those in favor say I. >> I. Those oppos say nay. Motion carries. We do not have any requests of district
citizens or employees seating. So, we're going to move on to the consent agenda. Um, I'll entertain a motion. >> Second. We have a first and second. All right. We have bills for the month
totaling 13,622,648.25 as printed. We are up from last year and this would be due to furniture p purchases, concrete repairs throughout the district, Glend um the Glendale roof repairs, um Hearn and Career Center payment, middle school football field
turf um behind Bingham. So we had a turf there that's going on and then the flooring at Sycamore payment. So, you've heard about the the issues going on at Sycamore. So, that's finished and they have a new floor there and it looks great. And all of that uh was paid out of the current budget. And then approval
to let bids for asphalt and concrete repairs districtwide. This would come from capital and approval to let bids for renovations of the classrooms at Van Horn High School. And this would be contingent upon the bond. So, that is what we have for consent.
What what would the classrooms be at Van Horn just a general? >> So great question. Those would be our program classrooms looking at renovation over there. Um we continue to see our special education populations increase with enrollment. So we need to be prepared to meet those needs. Thank you for that.
>> I just want to mention that I really appreciate um how forward thinking um the district is in the budgeting process. So there are things that we can do every year as part of capital and budget. Um and then fact that We're looking at this bond will allow us to do
large projects, but the budget allows us to get some of that maintenance and stay up to date on that. Really appreciate that. Thank you. >> Okay. All those in favor say I. >> I. Those opposed say nay.
>> Motion carries. Um, next item of business is the leader in the presentation. Oh, I'm sorry. Superintendent report. Go ahead, Dr. Thank you. Um, this year was or is
our MB6 2.0, I like to call it, uh, review and so we were required to submit our documentation at the end of December. A special thanks to Dr. vot and all of the departments and buildings for their work to help support this
process. It's a pretty big process collecting all of that information, making sure it's all in alignment with our comprehensive school improvement plan, which it was unique this year because the evaluation of MSI is based on our old CIP and we just approved a new CIP. So, we're kind of going in
between both of those. So, um, great work there and we look forward to hearing back, uh, later this spring regarding our submission of what that looks like. Uh, over winter break, numerous facilities projects were completed across the district by our vendors, allowing important upgrades to
be made with minimal disruption to students and staff. Thank you to Mr. McGee and his team for coordinating and overseeing all of this work. At Malinsson, a wall was added to the library to create an additional classroom for the reading specialist and the former reading teacher room was
converted to a new program classroom to like I discussed before being used there. Uh Hanthorne extended sidewalks on the outside to connect the front and side entrances, improving safety and accessibility. At Vanor, permanent walls
were installed between a couple of classrooms, replacing temporary dividers. It was amazing to me as we go in different buildings how many temporary walls have been put up um throughout the district. Sycamore uh we uh completed the sumo flooring in the hallways and replaced cabinets and
countertops and the pods. They look amazing if you get an opportunity to look at those. Pioneer Ridge, we updated the gym main bleachers and went to navy. We switched colors a few years back. However, the bleachers were still pretty purple. So now they're blue and match the color scheme over at Pioneer for the
Reapix branding. New varsity locker rooms were installed at Truman and Chrisman. And to support unified track and field coming becoming an official sport this spring, throwing areas at Van Horn and Chrisman were made handicap and accessible. Uh Truman was already
compliant. Mil Creek uh received new LED lighting and ceiling grids. Here at CO, we had several upgrades including new entrance concrete, the wellness center flooring, samurazzo flooring in the basement. Um, additional projects included, these are exciting, grease
trap replacements at Proctor of Bryant and new LBT flooring and parents as teachers classroom and sunshine. So, a lot of things going on. We're excited that we were able to complete those over winter break and have those ready to go. Uh find uh we also received notification
from DESIE that the district has been selected to participate in a methods of administration MOA career and technical education CTE compliance review. This is a federal review that the state is having to go through. This is an extensive review
that will require multiple departments to work together to complete everything that is required by the state as well as the federal government. and it will entail an on-site visit. So, this will need to be submitted by to Desessie no later than February 13th. So, we have a
lot of work to do, but um I know we're up for it. And then I do want to take just a second to reiterate the processes and procedures that um if a situation arises when a parent or guardian is detained or arrested. Um with everything
that is going and seen in the media uh today specifically um law enforcement including ICE cannot enter a school property without a valid warrant. District protocols require principles to request and verify proper documentation before granting access. All staff family
school leaison administrators resource officers are expected to comply with the law. If law enforcement of any kind appears at the school, safety, the public safety officer, others, their supervisor, and district leadership must be notified immediately to ensure correct procedures are followed. So,
we're going to work collaboratively on that. Um, if a family member is detained for any reason, existing emergency contact procedures will be used to ensure student safety and care. This process applies to all situations where a guardian cannot pick up a student or not solely to immigration situations
related matters. So, um, that's kind of where we are. And, um, the legislative session has begun. There have been over 2,97 bills filed.
We're a week into session. >> Nope. >> That's total. That is good. I'm going to talk about that in a second. Great question. No. 496 of those bills will deal with or impact public education.
Topics such as removal of the state income tax, property taxes, as well as school choice and/or open enrollment um were highlighted um to begin this legislative session. And if you have the opportunity to listen to the state of
the state, those items were specifically addressed in the state of the state by Governor Khill. Um, so we will continue to monitor this legislative session as it progresses and I will provide you all updates as we move forward. So that is what I have for our superintendence
report. Thank you Dr. Grant. Any discussion? >> I had a question on you said the track um facilities were being updated for an event that's being added. Can you talk just a little bit more about that? >> Unified track and field. So that would
be um you know parapolgic um track and field handicap accessibility for that that's being added. I was just made aware of that. Yeah. Okay. Um we'll move on to new business. Our first item is the leader and me presentation. Dr. Grant.
>> All right. We have had presentations regarding AVID for our middle school level and ourmies at the high school level and we would like to share an update regarding leader and me at the elementary level. This actually came from an inquiry from director Puente last month. So I thought it'd be good to share this with everyone this evening.
So I will introduce to you Mr. Ke Dr. Kevin Le. So, if you have if you have questions at the end of this, I brought five of my friends, so those um they were the ones that were clapping. Um they think they're funnier than they are sometimes,
but I appreciate them being here. So, good evening board. It is my pleasure to be with you this evening and present an update on the status of leader me and the independent school district. Tonight's presentation outlines with area one of our CESIP plan for academic
achievement. Specifically, goal 1.3, implement effective research-based instructional strategies across the district in an effort to eliminate achievement gaps. 1.3.1-5 specifically states, "Implement and refine leader and me across the elementary level by providing a t
timeline expectations and professional development advancing all elementary schools to core 3 achievement by 2028. In addition, area four of our CIP involves parent community involvement. The leader and me program along with AVID and themmies speaks specifically to
deepen community partnerships among diverse groups. So like Dr. Grant said, we have the academy models at the high schools, we have AVID at the middle schools, and Leader andMe implementation um ranging across kind of phase one, two, and three in addition to our two
lighthouse schools at all 20 of our elementary schools. LeaderMe is a whole school framework for leadership, academics, and culture. It integrates leadership development with academics and social emotional learning. It's built on re researchbased
principles including the seven habits of highly effective people written by Steven Cvy. It's based on the see do get model the theory of change and I like this quote in preparation of um the board presentation tonight. I came across this and wanted to share that with you. So um from leader and me it
says that when you change the way you see things it influences what you do and the results that you get. You're definitely going to want to pay attention to slide seven tonight when we go over the seven habits because there is going to be a quiz at the end of this presentation. So, just a hint, slide seven is going to be really important.
LeaderMe training is designed as a multi-year growth process that builds adult capacity first, then expands to students, systems, and sustainability. Schools have schools move from learning to practicing to embedding to sustaining
all with coaching and data guidance along each stage of the process. The core beliefs that drive the work of leader and me. There are five paradigms. There's lots of numbers embedded with leader and me. You think there are seven habits, but now there's actually eight.
There's five core paradigms. So kind of all the numbers of one through eight. Um, and I wasn't going to say the numbers between five and eight for this presentation, but they're they're in there. Uh, but the five core paradigms are leadership, which is everyone can be
a leader. Potential, everyone has genius. Change, which starts with me. Motivation, which is to empower students to lead their learning, education, where educators and families partner to develop the whole person. And these paradigms apply to both students and
staff. With leader me in schools, it's implemented again here's one of our numbers through six highly effective practices across leadership, culture, and academics. Leadership is taught, modeled, and practice daily. Student, staff, and fa student, staff, families,
and community members all have roles, and it aligns with existing school improvement and instructional initiatives. There's lots of data that comes with leader me and this is just a snapshot of the MRA results. So you see that that
red graph, that green graph, that blue graph, and those are each school's MRA results. So we take this assessment um annually. In the spring, it's completed by students, staff, and families. And it is a component of each school's school improvement plan. Under just that
leadership um that red column there, you see that it is staff leadership. And then there are two other circles next to it. So just under staff leadership, it gives us feedback from all of our stakeholders on staff leadership, including personal effectiveness and interpersonal effectiveness. And then
that next circle over, which you'd have to toggle over to see, it talks about student leadership on personal development, positive well-being, and self- advocacy. And then it gets into family and community engagement, digging into school and family partnership, family engagement, and school and
community engagement. Under the green umbrella, it's looking at supportive staff environment. Again, if you toggle over, you get to see feedback on support environment for students. And then finally, that blue one is the academics. So, it's looking at empowering students or empowering teachers, empowering
learners, and then goal achievements. So each year buildings and lighthouse teams really get to dig into their results of what their students are saying, what their staff are saying, what their parents are saying, and that helps guide their plans for the following school year. So this is where you guys need to
pay attention. These are the seven habits. So for existing board members, if you guys recall, Miss Hawksprung um presented on the leader and me process two years ago. And so these are seven habits. Just a quick reminder, habit one is to be proactive. Habit two is to
begin with the end in mind. Habit three, put first things first. Habit four, think win-win. Habit five, seek first to understand, then be understood. Habit six is to synergize. Habit seven, habit seven, sharpen the saw. And habit eight,
find your voice and inspire others to find yours. Um, as the board may recall, Dr. grant utilized the book Speed of Trust, also written by Stephen C Steven Cvy, um during our administrative retreat back in July to kick off the school year. We revisited that during professional development this morning
and several principles and directors in the room talked about habit 5 and the importance of listening first. So that speaks to not only are these important skills for our students in the classroom, but our teachers and our administrators, our directors here. So um this was a very timely topic um in my
presentation today connecting to the work that Dr. Grant led us in this morning with our principles and our directors. So I think the genesis behind this presentation was just talking about how our schools are progressing. So we have two lighthouse schools. Dr. Laughlin and her work at in 2019 achieved lighthouse
status. Um the following year Dr. Carver at LU also achieved lighthouse status. Luckily Miss Kilbreth and Dr. reveal are carrying on that legacy at both as and um Lu in 2022. We had our earliest adopters with Malinsson Sugar Creek
Proctor. They've gone through the seven habits, lighthouse 1 through three and core 1 through three. Bryant Elementary also kicked off with seven habits um in 2022 and have completed lighthouse 1 and two and core 1 and two with a new leadership. they before progressing to
lighthouse 3 and core three they are revisiting um both core one and core two just to make sure with new staff with the new leadership they want to make sure that everyone is on the same page that's one of the great things about leader and me is they are the school is not going to progress until the school
is ready so they are revisiting parts of one and two before moving on to core one or core three in 2023 Mil Creek Randall Santa Fe southern sycamore and three trails um completed the lighthouse training, seven habits, and have
completed lighouses 1 through three and cores one and two. Castle Park also jumped on board along with Little Blue and they've completed seven habits, lighthouse 1 through two, core one, and are completing core 2 and second semester. And then Benton, Blackburn,
Fairmont, Glendale, and Independence Academy um have completed seven habits. Lighthouse 1 through two, core 1 and finally cordy and spring branch have completed seven habits. Lighthouse one and core 1 are planned for second semester. Some of our schools um have
done some supplementary trainings including family engagement and some other supports. A lot of them did that January 5th when we had that PD coming back and others have planned PD throughout the course of the spring semester. I do want to extend a special shout out
to these following people up here. We have 10 um leader and me facilitators. Two principles, Dr. Carver and Miss Kilbreth. Two district coaches, Miss Arnot and Miss Corey. Three building or four building coaches, Miss Bennett, Miss Craig, Miss Schmidt, and Miss
McGregor. A counselor, Mr. Schmidt. And a district coordinator, a retired principal from Dr. Laughlin. These staff members are responsible for leading professional development training across 20 of our sites. They pour a lot into our teachers so they can pour into our students and greatly appreciate their
efforts. Finally, we had a site visit. Um, Maria Fleming is our district coordinator. She works for Leader and Me, but she is our um consultant and coach. And so, just wanted to provide some of the feedback that she saw when she visited seven schools on December 11th. She saw that the staff is
implementing all of the key areas in core one including lessons being delivered at all grade levels and leadership roles throughout the school. She also saw that there have another school has a significant focus across the school on building student leadership and ownership and that is paying off an improved student behavior
and building culture among staff and students. With the new principal and new lighthouse coordinator, the school is celebrating that they've set expectations for core one implementation around the school and are being consistently implemented. And then finally, this school has a strategic focus on extending and expanding
schoolwide leadership roles. And this year, all fourth and fifth grade students have a role in the school with a goal to expand that in the future. And the the schools that she picked were not just firstear schools or first year principles. She hit a couple of first year principles and then hit one of one
of our most tenure principles in the district that is going through I think core 2. And so it was kind of a wide range that she got to see and she was very pleased with the results. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to participate with that day. Uh but Dr. Laughlin and Maria Fleming were very excited about the progress that our
schools are making regarding leader and me. And then finally, hot off the press, I just got this yesterday. uh you will be receiving a invitation from Cammy um regarding the um leader in community
learning day at Proctor Elementary. So as I said and LUF are our lighthouse schools right now and LUF was one of or Proctor was one of our earliest adopters. They are progressing to um a formal lighthouse review. So, the day that we have um our Founders Day
breakfast, if you have time, anytime between 8 and 3:00, so after the breakfast, you will all be invited to uh visit Proctor Elementary. They will have a student leader that will take you on a tour of the building, and that is all in preparation for uh Miss Holly's formal
lighthouse review on March 12th. So, we are really hoping for a successful day on the community learning day and at her at her formal review. I would be happy to have you guys ask the five comedians in the back any of your questions.
>> All right, comedians. Um, this is uh the feedback from Maria states um that it's in paying off an improved student behavior and building culture. Do we have data to back that up and what does that look like? So, I think that data would be as part of the MRA, but we do
like to survey all of our stakeholders and so I think we can layer in our um culture and climate survey that just closed out in December. So, there are pieces there and then obviously every school and the district as a whole has behavior data and so >> yes. Yep.
>> Like as they go into leader and me were able to see that this is likely a cause for improvement. I don't know that I would say necessarily a direct cause, but in um as I've been reviewing schools and the district as a whole and just seeing the downward trend of behavior
incidents um monthtomonth and then as a total this year compared to last year. So it would be great to attribute it all to leader and me, but I also know that our principles and all of our teachers, all of our staff are being very intentional about the behavior supports that we're providing for students.
Um, last year when I toured all of the buildings, two schools come to mind because I remember that I was given a tour by Leader and Me students, um, Glendale and L, and they were definitely
high ranking in my tour because they were the best guys. >> So, that was great and really great to see how this has impacted their ability to speak to adults and feel comfortable in that realm. Um, and also um the the kids they just
shared more details. So that was really fun. >> Um, I also wanted to know a little bit about you said that you just completed the training on family engagement. >> Some schools did, not all schools. That's one of the optional trainings. And so there in order to progress
through you're looking at um the seven habits and then lighthouse one through three, core one through three and then there are supplemental ones that are on family engagement. Of course, I left that left that spreadsheet in the back, but there was probably four or five schools that have participated in that supplemental training that is that
family engagement component. >> And is that more towards um engaging with parents like academically or events outside of the school day? >> It would be components connecting the leader and me component. So, what we're
doing at school, bring them home, and then obviously we're always looking to promote and encourage participation, engagement during our family events. >> Thank you. >> I had a couple of questions. Um, you mentioned that your goal is to work
towards core three achievement. Can you remind me what that is? >> So, that's that would be the progression. Um, so ligh and it goes seven habits, then lighthouse, then core one, and then you complete that. then you're ready for lighthouse 2, core 2. And so with this progression and
hopefully um with that the schools that started in 24 um the end goal would be hopefully to getting to core 3 at that point because then that's when you are ready for that formal lighthouse review to see if we can become a lighthouse school. >> That makes sense. And then the other
question is on the MRA um what kind of response rate have you had on those surveys? So, um, and this wasn't the best screenshot, but it will actually show you can set a goal for like let's say you have one want to have a 100 parents um, submit the survey. It will give you
a status update of the goal. And so, it gives you metrics for staff and for parents as well. And so, unfortunately, this isn't a live look, it's a screenshot, but it will give you the exact numbers of each participant across those three areas.
>> And are you seeing a pretty significant response rate? That's the nice thing. You can toggle back yeartoear. Um and so I was looking at um Malinsson because they were at the top um just alphabetical. And then I also looked at l just to see if we could dig back in
true to two previous years. That's some of the work that we do in the spring. We have just a dedicated half-day session for leader and me planning for the following year. So that gives the lighthouse coordinator and the principal the ability to kind of dig into those results and start to make some plans for the next year. Did you see improvements
in those schools? >> I haven't dug down into that because I haven't had the experience of the opportunity to experience that review yet. That will come in the spring. >> And I'm sorry, let me repeat that. I appreciate your presentation and also the font size on your your slideshow.
>> That's >> nice. not my personality, but I'm speaking on behalf of elementary and so I did try to color code it for >> Okay, next item of business is the approval to purchase new Chromebooks. I move that we approve the purchase of
the new Chromebooks. Second, chapter seven. Thank you, President Dixon, and good evening, board members. Um, we we typically purchase Chromebooks in March or April for the following school year. However, in December, we were notified
that the price of Chromebooks will significantly increase after February 1st, excuse me. This has to do with current silver shortages and the fact that suppliers are investing more in AI and cutting production of consumer goods. We
can purchase these for $269 for the non-touch and $299 for the touch. Um Dale says the price is unknown, but they think the price could make its way to the mid300s or even 400s per Chromebook
in the very short future. So with that in mind, um another tidbit of information real quickly, these Chromebooks will go to the incoming freshman class at all three high schools. Uh we're going to also have some extras to provide aspar for the rest of ISD for the upcoming school
year. Uh we administration recommends purchasing 1300 non-touch Chromebooks and 100 touch Chromebooks and Chromebook licenses from CDWG for $421,36 under the Missouri AA contract. Um happy
to answer any questions. Just another quick uh tidbit of information. Pricing. Some of you might be thinking, okay, what does pricing look like in the past? We kind of know what it looks like going in the future. Uh, so last year, non-touch was 265 and touch typically runs about another $20, so 285. The year
before was 194. Um, and then two years previous to that, we were locked in at 219. And then the year previous to that was 169. So, we can see that they've kind of made a subtle increase and we're looking at making a big jump in the very near future, unfortunately. So, I appreciate
Todd bringing this to my attention to uh Denise's point uh earlier. He does do a very good job with budgeting. This is one of those things we typically bring to you later in the spring, but he's prepared to take that out of his budget. We'll receive those in if the board
approves this, hold on to them, and then his staff will get them ready and deploy them before the school year. >> And Dr. S, these are Chromebooks that we would have to purchase anyway. We're just getting them sooner because of the anticipated price hike. Exactly right.
>> And I can't imagine a few months would make a big difference, but the lifespan of Chromebooks isn't that long. Is there any issue buying them a few months earlier? Any concerns with that? >> No. Great question. And I know Todd and I visited about that. And part of this um equation is the lure that goes with
them. And I think Todd said now what is it? Seven years. >> Eight. >> Eight years. So we feel good about that as well. All those in favor say I. I. Those opposed say nay. >> Motion carries. Item number three is the approval to of
the changes to the board of education policies. Second reading. Dr. Grant. Oh no. Entertain a motion. >> Second. Dr. Okay. All right. This is the second and final reading. The first reading of uh the policies was outlined
last month. I would present to you the second and final reading for those policies that are listed there. C120P, C121P, C140P, G110P, G130P, and I25P.
Thank you for your consideration. Discussion hearing none. All those in favor say I. >> I. Those opposed say nay. Motion carries. Item number four is the approval of the superintendent job description.
I move that we approve the superintendent's job description. >> Second. >> Any discussion? >> Um I had a question. Um, we had spoke last month about the possibility of adding um either direct reports or
possibly an organization chart to the um job description and I was informed that we're recommended not to do that. So, I was just curious what the reasoning and thought process was on that. >> Sure. Thank you for that question, Director Pierce. I what I would say is
that um as you know and just to make sure you and I are on the same page here, we're talking about the uh under personnel administration for the superintendent the supervise and manage central office staff is the way it's currently worded and the discussion was
do we delineate further through an organizational chart or otherwise who those folks might be that would fall within the definition of central office staff. Um what I would say is generally we don't see it well defined because there are tend to be a lot of
adjustments that get made over time. If we just look at independence as an example there have been a number of adjustments uh through you know from year to year based on personnel based on needs of the district that sort of thing. And so every time you would uh if
you wanted to make that uh kind of uh delineation through an organizational chart, you're basically going to be ch anytime you change that they'll make those adjustments that I just described, you're going to be changing your job description for the superintendent. And what I would submit to you that that's a
level of detail that we just don't commonly see in superintendent job descriptions. Um but if the board wants to delineate exactly who falls within that scope uh you can part of the reason why I think this is supposition on my part but I think the reason we don't see
that is because really everybody falls within the supervision of the of the superintendent in one fashion form or fashion or so >> can you tell me where the organizational chart lives within the district's documentation?
You know what I would say is that it falls within the superintendent's responsibility to develop that right and but typically it tends to be maintained by the HR. Uh Dr. Robinson I don't know if he has an answer whether or not he can readily get his hands on it in HR as
we speak but typically that's what I would see. I don't know the answer for independent communities. So >> and I can speak to that a little bit that Miss Smith does have a copy of that in her office so that it is accessible. Just wonder would it be appropriate maybe just to reference the
organizational chart like it would say something like central office staff as listed on the organizational chart so that way you don't have it embedded but it refers that there is one. >> Yeah. And I think that um you know there are a number of different ways we could
look at doing that. You know just attach it to the job description. Obviously with the board doing its current search, that's part of the drive for having this the way the board wants it. So, uh, if you wanted to just kind of provide that documentation to your search firm at the
same time, I think that would cover that angle. Um, and then you uh, you know, we can talk about to your point about where it lives. we can make sure that uh that it stays with the job description. But typ typically what I see is that uh
once we start working with a particular superintendent, the job description becomes a kind of an ancillary or secondary thought. >> Yeah, I completely agree and and I I don't want to make the job description more cumbersome or require constant updates. That's why I was wondering if
maybe a reference rather than like attaching it. So >> yeah, my main my main concern in in incorporating it in it would be that we'd have to come, you know, back to get board approval anytime there's those adjustments. And frankly, I typically
would see the superintendent having that authority to make those kinds of adjustments without bringing it back to the board. >> So if you attached it, wouldn't that cause you to have that problem? >> Not if the language remains the same as what it is in the job description itself. then it's just going to be
referring it. As you said, it's going to be a reference, but it's not necessarily going to be something that's incorporated. >> Thank you. >> I have often wished that we have one on our website. I mean, I just meet people and I'm like,
huh, where do they fit in the organizational chart? And so, nothing to talk about. >> And I mean, you know, you ask where that lives, that might be a place for it to live. That would make sense to me.
Any other discussion? >> Okay. All those in favor say I. >> I. Those opposed say nay. Motion carries. Item number five is the approval to accept bid in contract for the three Charles Elementary School for the
replacement of windows. >> Second >> and I will turn it over to Dr. Sn. >> Thank you. >> As I'm sure most of you are well aware, the windows and three trails are very old. What you're probably not aware of, I wasn't. uh they were made of plenty
glass which I found interesting. There is leakage with the current windows and tuck pointing which is a masonary repair process that involves removing mortar from joints and replacing with new mortar is necessary surrounding these windows. So the next two action items
are kind of in conjunction as a result of that statement right there. Um we did receive two bids for replacement of the windows at three trails. We were very happy with one of the numbers that we received. We're asking this evening that the board accept the bid and contract of $546,340
from MJ Construction LLC for the replacement of windows at Three Trails Elementary School. This will come out of the capital budget. Uh this contract was reviewed by our architects along with Greg New. >> Is there a timeline?
>> Uh great question. Um I was talking to a staff member today. We their plan is to begin the window replacement this summer when it's warmer. It will take some time, but they think it's doable to complete in in the summertime. If the next motion has approved, the tuck
pointing will begin as so that's just repairing all the mortar around in the >> discussion. They definitely Sorry. I just want to say they definitely need it. Like having been there and seeing the I mean the windows move. So it'll be great to have
windows that don't move. >> Double plane class would be nice. Yes, >> I agree. All those in favor say I. >> I. I. >> All those opposed say nay. Motion carries. Item number six is the approvals accepted for and oh
this is the um contract for the three child elementary school and the masonary I move that we approve that bid second and I'm guessing we don't need to discuss this but does anybody have any
discussion? All those in favor say I. I. Those opposed say nay. Motion carries. Item number seven is the certification of the school board candidates for the April 7th, 2026 election.
I move that we accept these candidates or certify the school board candidates. >> Second. >> All right. So, we have the slates the board of education um school board candidates for the positions that will
be filled effective April 7th, 2026 each for a six-year term. There are four patrons in the school district that have met the requirement to serve the independent school district board of education. So, we have Jeffrey Juel, Zachary Harmon McLaclin, Sarah Wimberly,
and Justin Durham. Just as a reminder, that will be for two more positions. >> Correct. >> Four candidates, two positions. >> Correct. >> When you say met the requirement, so they turned in their petitions.
>> Okay. All those in favor say I. >> I. Those oppos say nay. Motion carries. I will um entertain a motion to adjurnn to close session. I move to adjourn to close session pursuant to Missouri state statute for personnel issues 610.021 sub
paragraph 3 legal matters 610.021 sub paragraph 1 and students 610.021 217 paragraph 6 second. >> Yes. >> Yes.
>> Yes. >> Yes. >> We're returned. Thank you everyone.
