Miss Downey and make sure you call and set it up for you to be on the agenda by Monday by 12:00. And we ask when you come up, would you state your name? And we'll make sure that you get signed in so that they can get back with you with
a response. And we'll start with Miss Sarah Lynch. I'm actually not speaking today, but um the person next to after me is. >> Okay. >> And then we'll start with Miss Louise Lynch.
>> Thank you. >> Good evening everyone. Um another heated evening in more ways than one. Um so I hope everyone is staying cool and safe. Um today I I want Well, there are so many things to talk about.
This is USD 500. Um, but I mainly want to talk about in response to um the last board meeting. Um, your attorney made some comments that um were very
concerning to me. Um and they were in regards to um conflict of interest in that people have to basically please themselves and um not necessarily recuse that there wasn't any documentary um
issues of that. Um I find that in incredibly false. Um there are various statutes and situations that are very serious in this organization today that
um are concerning. Um yesterday I filed with the attorney general's office with KSDE and the uh IRS in regards to a lot of these and they do all um are in regards to conflict of interest. Um and
so I you know some of those um are in regards to nepotism um in regards to KSA 721130 um another ones in regards to the se superintendent's dual role in um her
governance and the intertwinment in the foundation um that is spoken to in KSA 754301A um in regards to the mayor's ongoing conflicts in regards to this district
and the foundation and her prior um uh position as executive director of the foundation. um in regard to KSA 46215 in regards to um the board members
public endorsement of such violations um on social media in regards to KSA 728205 in regards to the finance committee um selfdealing
um and that is KSA 754301A and 72 28205. Um, unfortunately, there's not enough time for me to go into detail. Um, if you are on social media, there are some
posts about it. Um, I was prepared to go ahead and, um, give Don Downing a copy of all the findings and all the intertwinings. And then I had to think about it. We don't have transparency here. We
don't have accountability. and we don't have responsibility. If you like that information, I would be happy to come back in a public meeting so that the community is aware and can follow along
as well as educate this board as to what is going on and how it is in violation of several laws. And when we put false information on our IRS returns in regard to the foundation,
especially knowing that they had order a reorganization that was done in 2022 and put out in 2023. Um last uh meeting it was stated that you all did it just because you thought it was a good deal thing to do.
That is false. >> Okay. I I I should have stopped you a little sooner. We went over. >> So, okay. So, if you want I just want to say one last thing. If you want more, you know how to contact me. Okay. My email is give 737@gmail.com.
And if you want to look on social media, uh my team t Ruth is putting out all of the explanations. Thank you. >> Okay. So, we can find that on your email address. >> You bet. >> Okay. Thank you very much. >> Thank you so much.
>> And please don't share my phone number as it's been done before. >> Okay, >> that was also a violation, but thank you. >> Okay, well noted. >> And again, if anyone wants to make a comment, make sure you call Miss Downing
by Monday before 12:00 and she'll definitely put you on the agenda because we want to hear from the community. We want to hear concerns and hopefully we can all work together to make things better. Thank you so much. >> Thank you.
>> Okay. >> Okay. All right. And now we're going to go to our board discussion for finance. >> Okay. Um Miss Thank you, Miss Paige. Um,
Miss Robinson is going to come um board. First, thank you for your um patience. Um, and as Miss Robinson is preparing to come, we recognize that uh we uploaded the department budgets that have been um
adjusted um today and it's not all of them um but it's u majority of them. And then we also uploaded the um school building budgets. Um and we know you haven't had time to review it. Uh but Miss Robinson
can she's just going to give an overview and then we can um answer any questions to the best of our ability or and or get the information back to you. Um, I also just want to note that if Miss Downey hasn't done so, she did send out some
possible she did or will send out some possible dates for um an additional um budget meeting um that will give you time to look at the information that we just added today. And I do want to publicly thank thank Miss Robinson,
um Miss Miss Mansfield, and that team. if you recall, they transitioned in January, so they have uh been playing catchup and I I I think they're getting close. But I appreciate all of the work
that they um have been doing because we did get requests um to do a couple of audits that we typically do not um do and they met those deadlines while also um balancing all of this. So, I just want to say thank you to them for um all
the things that they've been doing to get the information. >> Thank you, >> Miss Robinson. Whenever you're ready. >> She is adjusting something. >> Is it not on there? >> It's not on there.
>> Okay. Um >> get it to them. Just a second here. >> They're gonna share it. So, she's um they're going to we didn't get the presentation uploaded on the It's there, but >> it isn't here. >> Okay.
>> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Miss Downing is going to send it to someone now. >> Add it. >> While we're waiting, um any initial questions, clarification while she's waiting to pull that up? >> Dr. W.
>> Dr. W. >> Thank you. Um are so is the financial decision-m framework ready to go >> if if you all are >> we've already accepted it. So >> right so what is there then I would uh
we were trying to do make it electronic so it's not electronic yet um and I um Mr. Carell and I were going to get together in whatever system that we are
using either for contracts or that sort of thing so that you all would have a opportunity to do it but no it is not um electronic yet. Yeah. >> Okay. So we use it manually then. >> Yeah. Okay. Okay.
Well, um, good evening to Vice President Brownley Page and our board members and Dr. Stubblefield. Um, they're bringing it up now. Thank you so much.
The budget presentation revised. Okay. She has got >> out of our slide deck, there were a couple of changes made. here to our anticipated expenses.
One, we actually removed the um KCKC college piece for 180. Oh. Is that better? Um, in that they are delaying that program, but however, at the bottom, I
did I did come back in and add some transportation cost uh in that spot for $617,000. Moved on me again. And that includes um some gas and fuel and repairs and maintenance and parts and cleaning the general operations for
transportation for unanticipated costs. Well, anticipated costs that may increase. >> Okay. >> Um that we had not looked at before. And that brought a new total to 10,97657673.11. And I just wanted to bring that to your
attention. Uh as the superintendent has shared, we um have been meeting with the we met with all the schools and all the departments. Well, not all of them, but have been meeting with the departments. I think we have about nine more
remaining to meet with to uh review the budget pieces and we have been able to provide you the PDFs and uploads today. So give you an opportunity to begin to review those in this process.
We're hoping um that you all will be able to provide us some guidance um in terms of where you might want to go in regard to salaries or other expenses and concerns
about cuts and budgets and so forth. as you review um the budgets that you you see within the next week or so before our next board meeting. >> Before we leave that, could I ask a question? >> Yes.
>> So the fifth item speaking uh addressing making up spit. Okay. >> So here on page uh 18. Yeah. the percentage the state is not covering making up for the gap and reduce bed
funding. Okay. So, help me identify this 3.37 million correct? >> Yes. >> Will bring us up to what percentage? >> That would be at 65%. Sorry.
>> This will bring us to 65%. >> Okay. cuz that is what we were looking at looking at the gap of they actually were at 62. >> Okay. >> And the discussion was to bring it up to 65.
>> Okay. Okay. So then does this become our new m maintenance of effort? >> Well, and that is what I'm waiting on. And I spoke to Helen Swanson at KSDE yesterday and they are still working on that um to be able to provide us what our total will be for our maintenance of
effort. And unfortunately that's a consideration we do need to keep in mind because as the costs increase within the sped program we do have to maintain that level of expenditure with our students.
>> Right. So I guess my question to you and maybe Mr. Gohane is our maintenance of effort how is our maintenance of effort determined that that's the easiest question. >> Well part of the maintenance of effort is determined by the level of support
that we actually give >> our budget in and of itself. >> Okay. And then I guess what I'm saying does is based on last year's >> yes and looking at the exceptions that are allowable. Um, meaning that if we
did not hire enough teachers or somebody resigned and they weren't replaced with the same or if they were replaced with the same or lower in the next year, we can consider them as exceptions and that would lower that expenditure.
>> Okay? And and I'm not trying to game the system. I'm trying to figure out if we maintain the maintenance of effort. I I guess my question is what is wiser to maintain
the maintenance we had previously or to create a newer one which would be higher and that then will lock in where we're moving forward. You can never go back. >> Yeah. If we go higher, you can't go back from that either. So >> yeah,
>> um it is wise for us to actually wait for the state and we should receive that information I think within the next week >> and realizing there's there's a need there's a need that is much higher. >> Yes. in in the process
>> um for our sped programming, we see that there are increased IEPs that are being um introduced and that comes along with the types of services that have >> the services are always in the cost of services always increase and we're in a
metro area so they're not going to be decreased. >> Yes. >> Okay. So I mean putting that that's a given that's baseline. >> Okay. >> Did you have a comment? No, I agree with her. >> Okay. So, I guess my question is what's the wise? Just wait and see. Is that
what we're doing? >> I would recommend that we wait to see what the response is from the state. >> Okay. >> And then move forward from there to see how this can fit within the scope of our entire budget >> and is our maintenance of effort determined by our spending or state
spending? >> Our spending. >> Our spend. Okay. Thank you. >> Yeah. And just for clarification for those who are following along, the number that we have there um is an estimate. So if the state comes back and what we thought it would be, that number
can go up and if it's lower, it can go down. >> So uh Miss Robinson's teams just looks at what the cost was, what the difference is, and then they place that there as a placeholder. Um in the past
we have not put sped on there and then but on the backside we had to uh >> back field. Well, we're just trying to be more mindful and put those costs out there um so that people know and aware
that uh the gap in um sp for for asking is it wise to put the number higher on the front end >> or because that establishes a new maintenance of effort, a higher maintenance of effort or to to secure
funding on the back end so that you will have to you're always going to have to back fill because >> they never do 92%. >> So I'm just putting it out there for >> honestly that's not that's why she once she has that number we'll adjust this
number that's the estimate. So we don't get to decide like what the state will send us oure and that is it like we in our budgeting and planning for um everything from what the reim like we
didn't find out the reimbursement amount for this school year that we're wrapping up until about last week. Like they send it but like so we use the numbers from the prior year and then we make the adjustments. So, I can remember a couple
of years ago we got back like $30,000. This year it was like $28,000. So, if we were planning for a $30,000 re um reimbursement, we it was 2,000 less per position. So we're constantly operating
in estimates until they give give us and I understand your question but what I am saying is that number up there whether we put it or not um Miss Robinson and her team have to have a place over an estimate and then once the state tells
us that's the number and we don't like with enrollment when they used to do it you can be like well we're going to take the last three higher years and not this year. We don't get that option for maintenance of e effort. They just tell us. >> Understand? And I apologize. Maybe I'm
not making it clear, but it's it >> understand plan ahead pretty much. >> Yes. >> Planning ahead. I think for the worst, but we don't want to put our own selves in a trick bag when >> we could we could put that number to 10 million. >> Yeah.
>> And you may be able to to reach the the service level, but that's okay. we can have that conversation. >> And nonetheless, we we need to look at our budget overall cuz right now the estimated general fund um will be at
$188 million. >> Okay. >> For the letter that they have sent us thus far. And so when we look back at that, um sped is usually around 26 million and has been close around that piece. So not knowing how much that will
be and as you say even though it's 26 million we don't get 26 million >> right >> to spend. So we have to supplement um the sped budget to the tune anywhere as low as $15 million and up right. >> So
>> and every year we get a yes piece of paper that says you had to backfill 23 million. So I I understand clearly the dilemma and the lack of funds. I was just saying as we we we we have the ability
with with some leeway, but >> thank you. And we we'll we can have this discussion all year long. >> Yeah. It's it's just wanting us to be mindful of the variable costs. Yeah. >> That happen. >> I apologize.
>> This is This is very calming. >> That's my check alarm to see what else do we have left to get done today in a normal work day. Okay. Um, are there any other questions
regarding the budget? Because I know we haven't presented actual dollars in its entirety yet. So, something that for us to consider to bring back to you next time. anything. Okay.
>> I don't have a question, Miss Robinson, because I don't feel like I have all the information. Not your fault. I'm just saying we're all trying to pull it together. And I think what we need to do, cuz some dates are being sent out, is to pick a date and then we need to
get back together to go over this. >> Okay. >> Because we're not trying to put you in a bad spot. We're just trying to make sure we have all the information. >> No, timing is very critical. I appreciate you um considering that. Um nonetheless, every year after year after
year, the board is down to the crunch of responding. >> Yeah. >> Um and we have our team has really considered taking on a a different timeline approach to all of this for next year.
um and some of the considerations that we are looking at right now in terms of salaries separating that from the discretionary budget elements and and things like that. So and so we can really try to rightsize the district.
>> That's cool. Any question? >> Okay. Well, thank you so much. >> Thank you. M. Um, Miss Robinson, I'm just going to ask you um for the public, can you remind them um or share with everyone on June 23rd the like the
timeline because there is a timeline that we don't dictate the um statute laws and like the um notices that we have to put in. there are certain things that have to be made um
within a certain time frame and next meeting the board will have to uh make a motion on the uh initial point. So I just didn't want anybody to be caught off guard especially for our new board members. The slide I have pulled up is
our budget timeline and for our next meeting scheduled for June 23rd, 2026, um the board will be faced with the approval to exceed revenue neutral meal rate and that actually needs to take
place and then from that we would do our that approval in a publication and following that in July 17th we'll have to notify the county clerk of intent to exceed revenue neutral rate as
far as and then follow up with a public hearing of notice um regarding that. And then we follow up in July where they have to do the um the county clerk notifies the individual taxpayers payers of the tax levy associated with that.
And we have 10day publication notice um period that needs to occur. And then the revenue neutral uh and budget hearing and adoption will happen at our August uh 11th 2026 board meeting. And so then
we have to submit to the state by September 18th. >> And just for clarification because it for like new people and people who are are looking on June 23rd, the board will they will either vote with the intent to
exceed or not to. But if even if they vote with the intent to exceed, they still can at the August 11 yes >> meeting um say they do not want to exceed. But if on the 23rd they don't
say the intent to the exceed, they can't reverse the reverse that. >> So in order for the to answer all questions, get timeline, get feedback, um the administration typically um has
recommended that the board votes with the intent to exceed and then they can make the final decision in August, but it is left up to the board. So, um, that's why sometimes people feel like it's happening twice because historically this board has voted with
the intent and then made the decision in August, but you can't go back if you don't say you have the intent. Yeah, it provides the board a little bit more timeline to look at the budget
>> and um and but if it is decided on June 23rd not to exceed then we immediately would have to go back and reduce >> based on the lack of funding that we potentially could have received. So >> question. >> Yes.
>> So if if if that occurs, what is the >> does it what is the amount? Does the budget remain as it was 2425? >> Not for lob. We would lose some of that funding.
>> And what percentage do you lose? >> Well, we >> maybe not to ask you that, but how how then what what what can you say based on what you just said? How do you >> easily we would lose $8 million. >> Okay. >> For sure.
Um so if not the LOB in and of itself is um 66% of our general funding which um those are the considerations that we have to look at
>> and that 8 million is based on what LOB is local auction budget. What percentage are you? >> I mean it is it is computed at 33% of the overall budget >> over. >> So if you don't exceed that
>> how are you how are you justif how are you computing 8 million >> uh that's that was based on history of what we knew before I haven't calculated a new one. >> Okay. So we we can have that discussion. Yes. Um so Mrs. Brownley Page thank you.
Um I would hope that we can consider maybe two days um not fiveour days but maybe threehour days instead of just next week to have those kind of discussions. >> Okay. >> But that's
that's not a motion. That's just a consideration. So >> thank you. And we'll get with Mr. Lopez and Miss Downey. I haven't had a chance to see what she sent out, right? >> And then we can send it to everyone and then you let us know and we'll go from
there to make sure everybody's aware. >> Of course, you have to have that discussion by with the board. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> So, as you review the budgets, you can let us know or superintendent to direct to our attention any questions you might have for us to address.
>> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Thank you, Miss Robinson. Okay, we're ready for our consent agenda. We need a motion to approve the consent items as presented.
>> I have one I would like to set aside. That would be K. Okay. Any other set aides? We need a motion to approve everything except for item K. >> I move that we accept the consent agenda
with the exception of item K. >> Second. It's been moved that we accept the consent agenda consent agenda with the exception of item K. It's been moved and properly second. Questions?
>> If none, Miss Downing, can we have a roll call, please? >> Wanda Brownley Page. >> Wanda Brownley Page. Yes. >> Yolanda Clark. >> Yolanda Clark. Yes. >> Pamela Pen Hicks. >> Pamela Pen Hicks. Yes. >> Joyce Strickland Eaggan. >> Joyce Strickland Eaggan. Yes. >> And Dr.
Yes. >> Thank you. Okay. Miss Pam Ben Hicks. Item K. >> I would just like to get some more information about theou agreement with CHWC and the land swap. Um I saw that we uh
the board prior to the new members coming on had agreed to anou without the um participation of CHWC in the process. Um and then they later looked at theou
and made some revisions and one of the revisions u and I don't know what was different about what they got and what we currently have but the umou specifically asked for the district to
tear down the auditorium and the um modular buildings located at Central Middle School. And I wanted to know if that adds to our expense for that particular um
to build the new school. Does that add to our expense that they want us to take on the expense of demolishing the portions that they have agreed to in their mo in theou what the cost would be. Thank you. That's who I was looking for.
>> Okay. Uh the answer the short answer is yes. It does add to the cost. We've gotten some estimates to tear down that uh auditorium which uh were very good. There is a major benefit to the district and we've done this before. Just so you know, uh years ago when we built uh
McKinley, we did the same process where they had some land. We swapped that land for the McKinley building. We tore down the McKinley building at the end of the process. So, they got vacant land ready for them to build, which they've now built out with houses. So the benefit to the district, we will take down that
auditorium. They don't need or want that. Uh and that add provides a uh spot for us to build hopefully if we can make it work out in the budget of the bond budget. This will all be paid for through the bond
uh uh a road access between the two buildings that will help with that traffic pattern. If you've ever been around Whittier Elementary School at drop off or pickup, it's kind of a mess. So, the benefit to the district is we'll be able to improve those traffic
patterns around the school uh to make that situation better >> during the construction process or during >> because we won't be tearing that down. We'll tear it down this year. >> No, but >> No, no, we won't tear it down until after the new building is built, which will be >> okay.
>> 2028 when we'll move over to the new building. So once we get that building done, then we'll go in, we'll tear that down and get that Central Middle School ready to transfer over. So this the the it's uh it's actually a purchase agreement. So there's two closings. The first will be the closing for their land
so we can start building here hopefully in about a month. And then the second closing will occur on or about August 1st, 2028. >> So what is the cost of that >> of tearing down? Mhm. >> If I remember correctly, I want to say
the uh cost was about 178,000 >> and all of it coming out of the bond. >> It's all bond. >> Okay. >> Thank you very much for sharing. >> And um just so that I'm clear or others may be clear, the where we're tearing it down, that's still our land or is that
theirs? >> The the point of demarcation, it's about 50/50 really. kind of a part they'll there'll be some that winds up on their portion and then the rest will be in ours. Yeah. >> Yeah. Okay. I just wanted to clarify that. >> Sure. >> Thank you.
>> Thank you. Any other questions about K? >> If none can we get a motion? I move that we accept K. A motion has been made to accept K. It needs to be second. >> Second.
>> It's been moved and properly second that we accept letter K. Are there any other questions? If none, Miss Downing. >> Wanda Brownley Page. >> Wanda Brownley Page. Yes. >> Yolanda Clark. >> Yolanda Clark. Yes. >> Pamela Pin Hicks.
>> Pamela Pen Hicks. Yes. >> Joyce Strickland Eaggan. >> Joyce Strickland Eaggan. Yes. >> And Dr. doing. Yes. >> Okay. Thank you. At this time, we'll proceed to board updates and approvals. >> So, I just
start >> Okay, these are ready to be approved. So we'll start with letter A, the bid for produce vendors for 2627 and produce vendors for 2627.
If we can get a motion for that, please. >> So moved. >> Second. >> It's been moved and properly second that we approve the bid for our produce vendors. Are there any questions? If none, we're ready. Miss Downing.
>> Wanda Brownley Page. >> Wanda Brownley Page. Yes. >> Yolanda Clark. >> Yolanda Clark. Yes. >> Pamela Pen Hicks. >> Pamela Pen Hicks. Yes. >> Joyce Strickland Eaggan. >> Joyce Strickland Eaggan. Yes. >> And Dr. W. >> Yes. >> Thank you. Now we'll proceed to item B
under six, safe and secure school grant. We need a motion to accept that. >> So moved. >> I second. It's been moved and properly second. Questions? If none, we're ready. Miss Downey.
>> Wanda Brownley Page. >> Wanda Brownley Page. Yes. >> Yolanda Clark. >> Yolanda Clark. Yes. >> Pamela Pinhicks. >> Pamela Pin Hicks. Yes. >> Joyce Strickland Eaggan. >> Joyce Strickland Eaggan. Yes. >> And Dr. Win. >> Dr. Win. Yes. >> Thank you so much. And now we'll move to
item C, the bid for cell phone storage systems. We need a motion to accept that. So moved. >> I second. >> It's been moved and properly second. Are there any questions at this time? >> Wanda Brownley Page.
>> Okay. >> Oh, I'm sorry. >> No, no, you're okay. No, I was just going to say it's been moved and properly second. We asked for question. Miss Downey, you're so efficient. >> Wanda Brownley Page. >> Wanda Brownley Page. Yes. >> Yolanda Clark. >> Yolanda Clark. Yes. Pamela Pen Hicks.

schools have Jag um for lack of a better word, chapters? Is that a right word to use? Chapters. >> Yeah. So, J K is different from this. This is a grant. I'm sorry. This is a grant for the uh
>> AD police department. So, is this the justice assistant grant? >> Okay. But just to answer your question, we have Jack K at all of our secondary schools and Carl B. Bruce. So it's at all not all of our high schools in Carl B. Bruce.
>> So these are for AEDs in the vehicles. >> Yes. >> Okay. Should have read it. Thank you. >> Any other questions? If none, now we'll have a board report from Kids Zone.
Thank you. Miss Shelvin will come forward. Good evening, Superintendent Stubblefield, Vice President Brownley Page, board members. Thank you guys for the opportunity to share information about the kids zone before and after school program this evening. And to just

All kids zone sites are licensed and regulated through the unified government of we do county health department and the Kansas Department for Children and Families. Annual compliance visits ensure staff training, safety standards, and required
documentation remain current and in full compliance. Over the past four years, kids enrollment has experienced growth, increasing by approximately 50 students annually. This continued growth demonstrates the values that our families place on highquality out of schooltime programming that extends
learning beyond the school day while fostering belonging, resilience, and student success. our 202526 year at a glance. Kids Zone celebrated its 29th year of service during this school year, supporting 668 students and

Parents receive m monthly s'more newsletters that highlight student activities, upcoming events, community resources, and program updates. We hold parently quarter night. We hold quarterly parent nights providing opportunities for families to connect
with the staff, participate in activities, and learn about resources that support their student success. Parents have a voice in the program through planning and decision-making through the parent representation on site council. And there's also an annual parent survey which is conducted to gather feedback, assess family
satisfaction, and identify opportunities for program improvement. Kidszone values parents as partners and intentionally creates multiple opportunities throughout the year for communication, engagement, and feedback. When asked what the most favorable result of their child's participation,
parents responded with the following with with the following shown. The biggest themes being that parents value knowing that their children are engaged in meaningful activities, receiving academic support, and building positive relationships with caring
adults while they work. Kidszone not only supports student growth and development, it helps families maintain stability by pre by providing dependable highquality care beyond the school day. So, KidZone is more than before and

into our 30th year, Kidszone has helped create opportunities for our students to thrive, and we look forward to continuing that impact for years to come. >> What questions might you have about Kids Zone? >> Sure. Well, thank you. And
>> Dr. W says, "Sure." >> Um, when you get a chance, could we see a couple of those monthly newsletters? >> Yeah, definitely. >> And how long have you been taking the annual survey? >> How long have you taken the annual survey, Miss Michelle? 18 years.
>> So, have you archived those 18 years of surveys? >> No. How about the last couple years? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Most definitely. Yes. >> Right. Right. So, maybe couple newsletters and a couple surveys. >> Yeah, definitely.
>> Thank you. Mhm. >> I appreciate your report and I have to say I love Kids Zone. Um, and just because I know that parents really rely on on that structure before and after school. Um, and I do appreciate the scholarships that are there for students
that families that could not otherwise afford it. But I know you didn't say anything about snacks and I do know they have snacks. >> One of the reasons why kids like to go because they do have snacks. I don't know how they're funded, but they do have snacks. >> They do have snacks. But is there any correlation between um the students
academic life and kind of that data that Dr. win. I'm thinking about us trying to um improve our scores in literacy especially. >> Our parents do give us feedback on the academic components as well and we can provide that from those surveys and then
we do ask through those teacher surveys. Um we do get input from the teachers on what we should be targeting during kids zone for our students. So, we have a formal form that teachers can fill out for each Kidzone student asking during
our academic component time when they're focusing on math, when they're focusing on ELA, what is it you would like us to be targeting? What is it you would like? So, we do try to make it as specific as possible for each student. Yes. >> Yes. Yes. And I would make sure we put that in the
>> slideshow just because it's key when we're talking about academics. >> Thank you for that feedback. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. I just want to personally thank you all for being here tonight. Um I have been able to personally watch kids zone as a parent that had students
that attended and so understanding the impact of kids zone for um for families and then you mentioned um having our students um be hired through kids as well which for a lot of students and
I've been able to wa watch and witness that as well has been really important. So, I felt like it was really important just for us to understand and see kids zone, I think you're a hidden jewel. Um, and we don't talk about you as much. And so, hearing the 30 years and just how you represent and you're you're an
extension to our school day, >> I applaud you and I thank you for being here. >> Thank you. We also didn't mention, and I probably should have, we also have high schoolers who volunteer. So, we have not only high school employees, but also high school volunteers. >> It's very cool.
>> Yep. I applaud it. As a parent who had to scramble for child care back in the day, this is a blessing, I'm sure, for many parents. And then be have the enrichment portion of it as well. And it gives our children another opportunity
to practice and to learn. So, we applaud your time and your work. >> Thank you. >> And I keep pointing back there because that's Miss Woram and Miss Mora. That is our coordinator and our program manager of Kids Zone. I I I have one question and again I
thank you all because this is important. Our kids need help. Is it possible to expand it more? >> We did just expand from seven sites to nine sites within the last three three years. So we have expanded um within the
last three years. >> Okay. Well, I'd like to see you expand it. >> I know, Miss Brownley Page. We doing we're we're we're doing what we can with with what we got staffing wise and capacity wise. I will say that. But we are continuing to just constantly look
at what the need is and where we can fulfill that need. We do constantly analyze that. You are you are correct when we're looking at those numbers and that is how we went from seven sites to nine sites within the last three years. >> Okay. And again, thank you. I know sometimes we're criticized
>> for not saying thank you enough, but we do appreciate >> what you do, everybody. >> And we just want to make it better. >> So, please bear with us. We want it to be better. You've done a phenomenal job. And I want to say this while she's up
here. Thank you all for the trauma centered professional development program that we had this past Friday. It was excellent and it would be nice to see more of our staff participate and we got to brainstorm and figure out how do
we get the people out because they have phenomenal speakers and it's just a beautiful program and every year I think I've been the last three or four. You're done. >> They also help plan it. They kids zone is more than kids zone. They help plan it. They are there working it. Yes. Yes.
>> That's why she wanted to take >> it is a team effort. Thank you for that. Thank you guys for all this feedback. Thank you for the thought. >> Is there a waiting list? Do you have a waiting list? >> Say that one more time. >> Do you have a waiting list >> for kids zone? >> Correct. >> It depends on the site. It does depend on the site. >> Okay.
>> So, have you narrowed it down to not so much cost per kid, but what kind of uh expansion funds have you narrowed it? Maybe >> look at that and and and think about it and what would it cost to expand? I'm
sure you have it right on the tip of your tongue. >> We have an idea of how much it would cost to expand. Um it also depends on um our grant funding and that those 21st century grants and how much we could afford to put into it from general funds
and that type of thing. But yes, we do have an idea of how much it would cost to expand. Okay. and whether or not we could also hire the number of staff we would need to expand into another location because staffing and the ability to hire the number of staff we would need to be within a compliance ratio. Also, >> everything's contingent on everything,
but are there any areas of our district that you see a gap? That may be a yes no question, but just the the thought of expansion into areas where there is a gap. >> Okay. Y Thank you. Maybe by next week >> we'll add it with Yes, we'll put it with
the newsletters and a summary. >> Well, no, I'm talking about the expansion cost. I mean, we're talking budget next week, so maybe we can >> I'll ask Lisa talking about budget. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Everything takes >> everybody Everything takes money.
>> Thank you. >> You got it. Any other questions or wonderings? Thank you guys for all the thoughtful feedback. We appreciate it. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. Thank you. >> Okay, we'll move to item nine, which is our board policy. And Mr. Gohane,
>> so we have a couple of uh policies up for first read tonight um and then a couple that are just on here for um review by the board as opposed to an actual change or adoption at this point. The first policy we have up is uh board
policy BCBG. This is on the voting method and you'll recall at the last meeting there was some discussion about this policy and uh some direction to change the wording where board members uh shall disclose
conflict of interest or declare a conflict of interest in a particular issue rather than I believe it previously said may as you can see from the markedup version. So that's the proposed language change to change it from a member may to a member shall declare a conflict of interest and that
one is ready for first read approval by the board. >> There's a question Pam pen >> Mr. Gohane. Um I think it would be educational for all of us to have a definition the statute of what conflict of interest actually consists of so
people can know when they are they may already but just to have that legal definition identified as well for the board so we can make sure we stay in compliance. >> So so we could try to add some there's no statutory definition of a conflict of interest because I mean there just isn't
one in Kansas that applies specifically to the board. Conflicts of interest are determined based upon um things that are determined primarily by the by an ethics commission or by a court. They're typically decided after the fact. Typical types of conflicts of interest
include having a personal or financial interest uh in a motion or decision that's being made by the board or where you have a relative that has a similar type of nature. A lot of times you'll see definitions for conflicts of interest that are set forth in grant
proposals that the district participates in um as well as other um things like competitive bidding, things of that nature. But there's no like onesizefits-all definition for a conflict of interest under Kansas law. >> But we do have a general framework of
why >> you do have a general framework. Yes. And so if that's something that the board wanted to try to encapsulate as an example or something like that, we could try to come up with some language to include in here. The difficulty is um it
is very case or situationally dependent unfortunately. So, is that possible to get something for an example? I >> I could I could Yes, I could I could try to craft some language that would give you some examples or some indications of
things that might constitute a conflict of interest. Um, but I can't give you like the >> hard >> the hard definition. Nor can I give you something that this is the totality of all possible conflicts of interest. >> Okay, >> I could do that on the second read, but
I don't I can't do that as I sit here tonight. >> Any other questions for a >> what? >> I said any other questions for a >> I just have a um comment, Mr. Gohane. the the way it's written
and I know what the intent is but the way it's written any member shall declare a conflict of interest in a particular issue meaning a a a global definition of any member
with could imply that I can declare conflict of interest on somebody else and is that our intent I I don't think that it is in fairness the KSB this is a model one of their policies but I agree with your reading
of it that that um could be implied to suggest that any member would disclose or declare a conflict of interest on a particular issue without regard to whether it's that member's conflict or a perceived conflict by another member. Um, so
>> I think it should be clarified, but I don't know which but I don't know which direction the board wants to go on that. >> And and that's why I'm throwing it out there in the middle that I think we need to clarify that as a board. So what is our intent that any member can declare
you Miss Brownley Page is a conflict in my opinion or any member shall declare for themselves? I was under the impression when we first talked about it, a person declaring for himself. Yes.
>> In lie of the definition we were given >> last la the last special meeting we had. >> So I I didn't take it that you could declare it for me. >> Right. >> I didn't think it was but the way it reads >> one could one could say I mean it just
says any member. >> Yeah. >> We agree. We agree it should say for yourself. So what do we do? Do we accept the first read with modification? >> Yeah. So what I'm we would accept the first read of the policy is presented.
What I have believe I've got um instructions to do are to come up with a modification to the sentence to make it clear that the board's intent is for the member to declare conflicts of interest for themselves, not for other board
members. and also to uh try to come up with a couple of examples that can be included of uh conflicts of interest um that could be included in the the policy for clarity. >> Is that what I'm
follow? If a and subsequently after if a conflict of interest is found, how would we address that in this particular? >> Well, if if it's after a vote and a conflict of interest is found or determined by a court or other
adjudicating body, the action of the board would be void. So, or challengeable. The best example, I think I gave this example last time, but the prime example where I've seen it actually take place is where you had a
um open bidding process and a board member had a either financial or personal interest or a relative did and one of the companies that was bidding on a project and the board member did not declare a conflict of interest, did not recuse themselves, voted on the project
along with the other board members. And then one of the other biders on the project uh sued the school district in that case and the board member claiming that that tainted the process and the court ordered there to be a new uh bid let out and voided the bid that was
awarded to the company where the conflict conflicted board member had voted on it. So that's the easiest example I can come up with. >> Uh that wasn't the school district but that was one I was involved in that happened. >> Okay. So follow up with that. Should
there be language in there to say if if I declare that I do not have a conflict of interest and then a conflict of interest is found via court or whatever, what is what is the policy? >> Well, I I don't know that there is a policy. If that happens, then the action
the board took is going to be declared either void or uh challenged. I mean, >> should it say that the court has to do that? there there's no mechanism for this >> body to determine that there has well as
I say that I suppose in that context the board could revisit this issue if they found out that um somebody had a conflict of interest that they did not disclose I suppose the board could vote at its at a subsequent meeting to resend
or to vacate a uh motion or resolution that had been taken place Um, >> that's where you're leaving me where there's a gap because there's no vote on this, right? The member, >> right? There there wouldn't be. So if
you if you So if you say vote on it, >> well, no, you're declaring the the the context of when you're declaring there to be a conflict of interest is when you are taking an a motion on something. So, the idea is >> if I have a if I say I'm a board member and say I determine I've got a conflict
of interest on something the board is voting on, >> I would do one of two things. I could abstain or more properly, I should say, I've got a conflict of interest. Therefore, I'm recusing myself and leave the room while the vote takes place. In that sense, I'm counted as absence on
the vote. So, my input has nothing to do with the vote. The vote's solid. There's no way it's going to be challenged down the line. Instead, if I have a conflict of interest and I do not disclose it and I don't declare a conflict of interest and
I participate in the vote, then if nobody challenges that at any point in time, the vote just stands even though I have a conflict of interest and even though I voted on it. But if I vote on it and somebody challenges it either
by court action or by some appeal uh through an administrative body depending upon what it is. So administrative body think like uh department of ed where they granted awarded a grant and the board's voted to approve the grant and the grant's paying a company that you own. >> Right?
>> So that would be an issue there. Right? Then what could happen is that um agency or the court could determine in those proceedings that there was a conflict of interest that I didn't disclose it and that as a result the board's um adoption
of the motion is void. They could void a grant. They could void a purchase or an award of a contract or a bid. So that that's what happens. Um there is no provision in here for the board itself
to say, "Hey, we learned after the fact that Dr. Wyn, you've got a you had a conflict and you voted on this." Um and so the board wants to itself rescend the vote or the motion and try to self-correct. Um that could be added,
but it's not in there right now. >> Right. Right. That's what I'm saying. There's so >> I would suggest that we add that language in because what you're talking about is talking the legal action that would have to occur when the issue may
be closer to home rather than having to go to an outside agency to follow up with that or file a lawsuit in order to deal with a conflict of interest. So I think it would behoove us to bring that closer to home with our own process and
include that language in this particular ECBG. >> So I think I've got three three uh tasks to carry at this point. Anything else or any other comments on this one? >> Can you repeat the task? So the the
first one is to make sure it's clear that that the member is declaring a conflict of interest for themselves and not for another board member. >> The second one is to provide an example um to give some context or some clarity
to what is meant by a conflict of interest. And the third is to provide some sort of self-correction mechanism where the board learns of a conflict after the fact that they can go back and uh resend or revote on a
particular item based upon that undisclosed conflict. >> Mr. Gohane. Y >> the last one I'm just wondering why would would that need to be added to the policy or is that just practice? I'm I'm
just asking. I want to understand >> right now there's no there's no policy requiring that. Obviously, um the board um if the board learned of a conflict and after a vote had taken place and the board was trying to figure out what to do, my recommendation would be that the
board revisit the issue, acknowledge the conflict's existence, revisit the issue and either vote to reapprove or for example, if it's a bid or something like that, simply rebid it. Um you know, depend it would depend on what happened, right?
>> Okay. Um, but there's no uh currently no requirement that you do that. That would just be best practice, I guess. >> Yeah, that's what I was trying to understand. I realized there was no requirement now and I just wanted to understand like when you mentioned it in your actions, are you mentioning it in
your actions as something that needs to be inserted in the policy or something that would be more practice? Well, I mean, I think I was asked to y >> come up with some language to include that in the policy. So, that's what I was suggesting was one of my tasks.
Okay. >> Whether the board wants it in policy or just wants to keep it as as something that would be sort of best practice and not actually in the policy, that's ultimately up to the board as a whole to decide. >> Okay. Thank you.
>> So, I I still think you should accept at least for first read this policy. I'll bring back those changes for the second read. Um I'll try and get them out to everybody in advance. You guys can look them over and then if we got questions in the second read, we'll massage it
from there. And normally you on third read, it's a formal policy, but if there are more changes, we can obviously extend it out to where there are more reads than the three. >> Okay. >> If if the board chooses. >> Is that okay with everybody? >> Yes. >> First read. >> Okay.
>> First read. Yeah. >> So, first read is asis. >> First read is first read is asis with the shall. The second read will have the modifications you guys have asked me to bring back. >> Three options, three additions. >> Correct. >> Um and then if the board has more or
doesn't want to include all three, you tell me at the second read and we'll have the final version ready for the third read. >> And if there are changes even at the third read, obviously the board has the authority to do a fourth read. >> Thank you. motion. Somebody would somebody like to
make a motion to >> Oh, okay. >> for first read. >> I'm sorry. You need a motion? >> So moved. >> It needs to be second. >> Does a second. >> It's been moved and properly second that we approve the first read with the
necessary adjustments. >> Any questions? Miss D. >> Wanda Brownley Page. >> Wanda Brownley Page. Yes. >> Yolanda Clark. >> Yolanda Clark. Yes. >> Pamela Pin Hicks. >> Pamela Pin Hicks. Yes. >> Joyce Strickland Eaggan.
>> Joyce Strickland Eaggan. Yes. >> And Dr. Win. >> Dr. Win. Yes. The >> the next policy that we have in front of the board is JCBA, which is the homeless students policy. Um it says first read, but this isn't
actually for a first read in the sense that there are any changes being made. Um we were made aware through one of our grant uh applications that we are supposed to uh review this policy on an annual basis and as you can see we have not reviewed this policy since 2017 at
least according to our records. So, the purpose of this policy being put in front of the board is simply so the board can review it. Um, indicate on the public record that it's been reviewed and that way um it's
it's proper at least for purposes of the grant applications. Uh, this is a KSB uh drafted policy. So, uh it's just been adopted in the form that KSB presented it to us back in 2017 with no changes since.
Can we get a motion to approve the first red? >> I think it would just be a motion to >> just a motion to approve it. >> Yeah. To reapprove the policy. >> Okay. >> Reapprove the policy. >> So moved. >> It's been moved and >> second
>> properly second that we read reread the policy. >> Miss Downey. >> Wanda Brownley Page. >> Wanda Brownley Page. Yes. Yolanda Clark. >> Yolanda Clark. Yes. >> Pamela Pin Hicks. >> Pamela Pen Hicks. Yes. >> Joyce Strickland Eaggan.
>> Joyce Strickland Eaggan. Yes. >> Dr. Win. Yes. >> Okay. The next policy we have in front of you is policy proposed policy JCDC which is uh student personal electronic communications. Uh this policy is uh designed to comply
with the new statute adopted by the legislature dealing with uh student personal electronic communication devices. Uh the language I believe is language proposed by um uh KSB um perhaps slightly modified but I believe
it's primarily KSB's policy. I did I will note for the board I believe uh the uh teachers union has u made some comments on the proposed language of the policy. I think that was sent to all the board members. We'll make sure that that
comment is included in the record u with the board clerk so it's available for board members to read if you didn't get a copy of it. Um, what I would suggest again is that we adopt it for first read. If there are changes that the board wants to make based upon those
comments or other things that the board does as part of review or other information we get from other people that might want to comment on it, those can be taken up at second read. And again, the purpose of this is simply to comply with the new state statute.
I motion that we adopt for the first read um policy JCDC. Second. >> I second. >> Okay. It's been moved and properly second that we adopt JCDC for the first
read. Questions? If none, Miss Downey? Wanda Brownley Page. >> Wanda Brownley Page. Yes. >> Yolanda Clark. >> Yolanda Clark. Yes. >> Pamela Pin Hicks. >> Pamela Pen Hicks. Yes. >> Joyce Strickland Eaggan. >> Joyce Strickland Eaggan. Yes.
>> And Dr. Win. Yes. >> Okay. The last item we have under policies. Uh this is just forformational purposes of this month. Uh every six months KSB proposes updated policies uh
for the district to consider. Uh this is the letter we just received from uh KSB in June identifying the policies that they have updated um and are making recommendations for. What happens from here is that I review the policies in comparison to your current policies and
your administration looks at those and then those are brought back to the board individually for either approval or um declining to adopt the new policy so that we have a clean record again with the board clerk as to what we have approved or not approved and what we are
agreeing to use from KB or what we are not. Um so this is justformational. So the board has it to look at. Next month we'll or next board meeting rather and by next board meeting next regular board meeting we'll bring back uh which ones
we are recommending that the board actually uh accept for modification and which ones we do not think the board should adopt. So there's no action on this item. >> Okay. Thank you Mr. Cohen. At this time we'll move to communications. Dr.
Stubblefield. >> Okay. Um good evening. Um first I just want to take the time to recognize that um June during the month of June uh Junth is observed annually on June 19th as a federal holiday that com
commensurates the emancipation of enslaved African-Americans in the United States. The holiday marks a significant moment in our nation's history when in 1865 Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas and delivered a news of freedom to the last remaining enslaved people in
the country. as we recognize the importance of this day and reflect on the values of freedom, equality, and opportunity for our school district is proud to purs part participate in the local Junth parade on Saturday, June
13th. We look forward to joining the community members and celebrating this important occasion and honoring the rich history and contributions of African-Americans. We encourage our families, students, staff and community members to take part in this celebration as we come together to recognize and
commensurate Junth. Also, the month of June is Pride Month and throughout the month, communities nationwide and here in the Ken City metro celebrate festivals, parades, and educational programs and other events that highlight the history, resilience, and diversity

School were selected to attend the Kansas boy state and girls uh state this year. The programs are designed to help high school students develop leadership skills and learn how the government operates. The students join their peers from across Kansas in activities focused
on leadership, teamwork, and civic responsibility. Um, these annual programs are held during the last week of May and they took place on the campus of Kansas State University and the University of Kansas. And thank you and have a great week.
>> Very cool. >> Thank you. Uh again I visited the trauma workshop and again they did a fantastic job. I went to Parker for the at West Park to talk about the new library
that's coming there and we had a good time there and I would just like to ask if anyone is involved with any organization and we wanted to be creditable that can help our kids. A lot of them in the
metropolitan area need something to do. And if we are part of anything that can help them, we need to share it and let them know so that our kids can get involved in some other activities. And parents may need some help trying to
figure out where to take them, where to go, or if you have any programs that they can get involved in because we want them to do the right thing. We I don't know about you, but I'm tired of saying a moment of silence for so and so. The word out so we can get our kids involved
in positive programs or if you know an employer who may be willing to hire them. They need jobs. So, we got to do whatever we can to help. Thank you. >> Board, >> I've been kind of out of it. I had
family emergency so didn't get to participate that much this week. Um, but I would like to get a follow-up information about the trauma informed if there's any available information. >> I got you. >> Thank you. >> Yeah, I was able to go to the leadership
edit equitydriven summit is what I was calling it. But I attended the sessions on building racial equal um equity, the intentional leader, building conversation safely and leadership is not a position but a skill. And I did print out my certificate. I should have
had a gold star because I stayed from the beginning to the end. But anyway, next year I I'll ask them to give me a gold star. But I did um agree with um Vice President Brownley that the presenters were very knowledgeable and polished and Dr. Stubblefield gave a
very inspiring keynote. So that was exciting. And we just appreciate the Kaufman Foundation Conference Center. Uh Tracy who was here did an excellent job and so did Carrie. They were just so welcoming. everything was so organized. So, we appreciate also the Wat Health
Foundation who helped put that on. Um, and then thank you for everybody who wore orange. Um, just what uh Vice President Brownley was talking about. Uh, we wore that during the at the end of the first week of June just to put awareness to gun violence and um to
honor lives that are are affected by gun violence and our prayers are for the safety of our student, staff, and community this summer and beyond. And then also uh we did attend the Parker Revitalization Library meeting, but they do have another one if you didn't get to
go to that one. Um and it will be at the main library on June 30th at 6 o'clock. And they also have opportunity for you to give input um online if you visit any of those uh library sites. I will just add I was also able to
attend the library um session at the main library. So I missed the Parker, but I was able to be at the Bane Library. I did have to sneak out early, but um it was great attendance and being able to see the community there and able to collaborate. I will also be at the
Junth event on Saturday. I don't know that I'll get a chance to walk in the parade because I am an active member of the community. So probably we'll be prepping for the night session that starts at 6:00. But to Dr. Stubblefield's point, please um please feel free to come out and be with the
community on Saturday. >> Okay. I likewise attended the two library um community events. And then on Saturday, uh KSAB um board of directors had a um a um
meeting in Salina and I will um provide you with the handouts that we got. Um two things were of on on the agenda that will impact our our district and all districts. this blueprint for literacy.
>> Um that it's kind of like an unfunded mandate but um the the um the components of it are are um still in in the planning stage but it will impact us
2728 with reading specialists also. uh KSAB is trying to get and and and part of it is is I think my responsibility to inform us more of what resources they
have for us. And so um I gave one time we have an updated engagement report of how much we utilize their their services, but um we we need to probably
get more money for more worth for our the money that we spend um as membership and it's it's it's there. So, I'll provide more of information and how we can access those resources. So, thank you. >> Thank you. Uh and one last thing, the
academic committee, we're going to be meeting in the welcome center. Uh some of our parents said they didn't know what it was. So we thought maybe we should meet there and invite them so they can see the services that the welcome center provides. And they're
doing good things. More people just need to know about it and just want to thank them for that. At this time, you have anything else you want to say? >> Oh, no. >> Okay. We're we're going to move to our
