November students of the month and uh this award is chosen by the CM high school staff for the students who are responsible for themselves and others positive role models not only in the classroom but outside of the classroom and also help others in need and are
progressing academically. So we get one each grade uh per month and so it's quite an honor to get this. So if you would come down I'll read freshman, sophomore, junior and then senior and I'll read a little blurb about the senior too. So freshman Reel Boyam
Henrix for the sophomore. Samuel Horning for our junior Sarin Mesa And for our senior is Miles Bungham. As he's coming down, I'll read his blurb. The Cassandraville Senior High School student of the month for November
2025 is Miles Bungham. Uh, one of his philosophies that has helped him to be successful. I just go forward in life one step at a time. I focus on active learning and personal growth. One of Miles's hobbies includes working at Just Like Home in Cassen. He makes sure the
kids are practicing good behavior and making the right choices. Miles is involved in KM band, choir, Minnesota Honor Society, and football. He also enjoys other volunteering activities. He isn't 100% sure yet on what he's going to do after graduation. Whatever he
decides, he knows it will be the right choice for him. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Miles says, I hope to be employed at a job that I enjoy a lot and works well with my outside life. I want to have a house and be surrounded by people that I love. Congratulations,
my Stand by me. >> All right, everybody's in. One, two, three. Thank you all. Okay. All right. The next award I'm going to bring down Isaac Hines as we are going
to honor an all-American in the house. Ree Hyatt for speech and debate has been nominated all-American and Isaac is going to explain a little bit about how special this award is. Let's >> Yeah, let's give Isaac a hand first.
Uh so today we have the pleasure of announcing our second academic all-American uh for our common speech team. In the last couple of years, we've managed uh because of how quickly we've grown as a program. We've been able to uh compete not just on the state stage,
but actually on the national stage. Uh Reese was one of two competitors who went to the national tournament down in Kansas City last um last spring where in one of her categories she was in the top 75 in the entire country. Um this fall
she was a uh she was awarded the academic all-American award. Um and to explain that a little bit better I'm going to read from the letter that they sent me uh to confirm her her award. It says, "On behalf of the National
Speech and Debate Association, I am proud to congratulate congratulate your student, Reese Hyatt, on earning the National Speech and Debate Association's Academic All-American Award. This coveted award recognizes academic rigor, competitive speech and debate success,
and personal excellence. From more than 141,000 student members of the National Speech and Debate Association, fewer than 1% of students earn the academic all-American award every year. This tremendous
accomplishments places Ree among the top 1% of all student members across the country. This distinguished award recognizes students who have completed at least five semesters of high school. Have earned the degree of superior distinction in our honor society which
is a total of 750 points earned from different competitions. Achieved the rigorous criteria for GTPA I believe was 3.7 correct 3.7 GPA and demonstrated outstanding character and
leadership. Um for perspective, when they go to competitions, they earn points per competitions and per placement that they do. It what's becomes even more significant in my opinion is that this is a national speech and debate association. So that
1% becomes all the more uh impressive when you consider the fact that they're earning those points in speech and debate in many programs. We only have a speech program. So that shows you that she's even uh more impressive in her accomplishments. So with that, I wanted
to um get her some recognition in front of um our district for her accomplishments. Good job. Little bit more. There we go. One, two, three. For the people behind me. All right. Next up, I'm going to bring
down our parro thing coach, Coach Murphy. Come on down. He's going to present an award to one of his athletes who uh is also setting some state and uh unbelievable record. So, I'll let her talk him talk a little bit about his
athletes. I wasn't prepared for this. So, uh I'm glad my wife made me change my clothes before I came up here beforehand. But, uh you know, as a powerlifting coach since 2019, roughly, you know, very rarely, every the
beginning of every year, you tell these kids that uh powerlifting isn't an October through February sport, just like many athletes in this room. No, it's a year round thing. And uh it's rare to find kids that are so young that
are willing to put in that work in the offseason that get up in the morning or the afternoon and go to the gym and put in that time to achieve their goals um in regards to their given sport. This
young lady just exemplifies all of that. She's been an absolute treat to coach. Uh she's humble. She's shown leadership over the years. She's accepted a scholarship to lift once she leaves at the end of this season in
college. Um so it's it's been an absolute treat. Um she's a state champion. We brought a state title home last year. She's held multiple state records and if you go in that fitness center and look at that board of all the leaders on the female side, all the girls on that board are a lot
bigger than she is. U the kid can move some weight. So, um, it's been a blessing to coach this young lady. And, uh, if Ila would come up here, Ila Galloway Let's do There you go.
All right. All right. All right. Our next award is uh one of the athletes that's been setting records since I think he was in eighth grade. Uh and so I think Mr. Pitman is here. Did I see him walk in?
No, maybe not. All right. So I get to talk about David. Um, David Oops. I think. Okay, give me uh five straight section titles. Four. Okay, only four.
David Oaks has represented our cross country team uh for the last four years at the state tournament and uh basically every single year he just keeps getting better and better and better and not only setting uh records in cross country, but track and field as well.
and uh just the most humble uh unassuming kid that that uh has gotten all of these accomplishments, but um you know just gives the gratefulness to others and continues to do his thing and uh just run impressive races every
single week uh in and out of the season. And so David Oaks placed fourth place at state this year and uh let's give him a huge round of applause. One, two, three. All right. Next up, I'm going to bring down Amy, Coach Amy Pongrands, our uh
Cass Meville cheer coach. Uh they've also received a couple of accomplishments this week at the US Bank Stadium. So, let's hear for coach Pongr. We had two of our cheerleaders try out for All State after the Byron game,
which as most of you guys realized here, did not go that great for the cheerleaders. Um, we had one that we thought tore her MCL, still made it to try out for All State the next day and made it from sitting in a chair. And she
made it with her best friend Callie Mitchell as well. Out of over a hundred athletes that tried out for it, only 18 made the all state team and they are two of them. So, congratulations. Sorry, they're Mallerie Plank and Cali Mitchell. Forgot that.
All right. >> One, two, three. All right, next up is girls soccer. And um just reading through all these um awards and accomplishments of the the kids, you know, just uh taking a step back uh you know, these coaches put in a
tremendous amount of time and dedication to the kids. And uh they they get these awards because they totally and uh truly focus on the person rather than the player. And um it's pretty special that they get to come up here and recognize their kids. But, uh, they they deserve a
lot of the credit, too, because of the work and, uh, and the dedication that they put in. So, I'm going to bring down girls soccer coach Andy Abrams. >> Come on down, girls. >> He was lobbying to go first. this year. Our team not only worked hard on the field but also excelled in the
classroom. This team achieved a com a combined GPA of three 3.8 H which earned us the gold academic uh the gold academic award which is the highest highest honors the athletic team can achieve. These players are
eighth grade Tristy Duncinson, Hannah Men. Ninth grade, Brooklyn Hess, Taylor Narson. 10th grade, Josie Finley, Daisy Hearns, Kiana Melchick, Kylie
Mowen. 11th grade, Addison, Addison Anderson, Julia Clark, Emma Engel, Autumn Heidman, Chelsea Hess, Joanna Lindstöm, and Aiden Spire,
and Taran War. 12th grade, Grace Arnerson, Malia Carlson, Morgan Houseman, Berkeley Klein, Grace Man, and Kylie Meyer. But also we also had some players that
exceeded um they far exceeded what it is to be a student athletes and they are Aiden Aiden Spider with a GPA of 4.0 Daisy Hearns GPA of 4.0 Josie Joselyn Hess 4.0
Emma Endol 4.024 and Malia Harson 4 point 4.028 028. Great job. Great job everybody. Congratulations. >> Thank you very much. picture. Go ahead. Go ahead.
Go ahead. Here we go. One, two, three. Uh, one more thing from that group of uh, athletes. Aiden Spriter is not here. Uh, she's at hockey practice, but she was also named to the second team all
state team as well. So, when I get when you see her, get next up is all of our guys in white out here. uh the Castle Manville football team. And so I'll bring down uh the coaches first and just talk a little bit about uh them. You guys can come on
down. Um led by coach Joel Swanson, this group uh put together just some tremendous efforts this year. Uh and you know, I was able to to get some of these videos from some of the Cass Manville football alumni. And um it was just uh
pretty cool to see and pretty emotional to see uh some of these guys that are my age, older, some even younger uh explaining, you know, what the football team meant to them when they played and how much pride that this group brought
towards them and and they were just cheering them on and uh and wishing them the best every week. And so uh I'm going to give it up to coach Joel Swanson. All right. Thanks. Uh, first we'll have our some of our assistant coaches because obviously you don't do it by
yourself. Chris, he works with our offense. Matt Frankie is one of our ninth grade coaches and it helps on our defense. And Matt Nelson works with our defense. Uh couple of special ones. First I'll recognize
uh and have them come up and then we'll do the whole team. Uh Jeremiah Peterson Gordon was selected the Minnesota Allstar game. So he'll have a week's worth of practice still in him in a game on December 13th. >> Yeah.
Griffin Grover was selected to the All State academic team. Miles Bungham was selected as the best teammate award. And then Also a commend to our whole community as uh the post bulletin told
me there is well over 5,000 people they estimated they're cheering up for us last weekend in US Bank Stadium. Quite an accomplishment and we really appreciate it. So, now we'll have our section champs and state runnerup
football team come on down second time in school history where we played for the state championship. And like I say, it's uh it was quite a journey and and a lot of people involved with doing a lot of different things. There's no way it's
just a few people and it's the whole community that was a part of it. We appreciate everything including our support of our school. Should I? Hey guys, we're gonna give you a big
wave. >> There we go. >> All right, slide in there. >> You can do it. We do every year. >> It's only second time. >> Back road. Take a step forward. They're going to slide in behind you. body.
I got everybody. Here we go. Nice job you guys. All right, >> I'm proud you guys on over here. >> Everybody's back. >> Next up, we have our fall school musical. Uh, this was done a little
different this year. We did it in October rather than November. And so, uh, just an outstanding show if many of you were able to go out and see it. Uh, the Adams family, uh, just the whole production, behind the scenes, the
costumes, the set construction, the acting, the singing, uh, was something to just totally behold. And, uh, I'm going to call down a couple of our directors that are here, Mr. Isbel, and our tech director, Cody Rousi. Come on down.
It takes a village to get this production uh as perfect as it is. And uh let's bring down all the cast and crew as well. Come on down, gang. >> All right. Um yeah, about a month ago we had the chance uh the privilege to
perform a full weekend of shows uh of this show and uh the show had with the cast, crew and orchestra. It had over 80 students and countless adult volunteers and a full uh team of I think fourh five directors, right? Five or six directors.
Um uh so yeah, it was a great experience overall. I asked Carllin to uh put this up on the screen because we just revealed this tonight. Uh we do something called Spotlight uh through through a program uh through Henipin Arts. They do spotlighted education. So
they come out basically review our show and do critiques for us. Um and this is their honors they gave us. Uh the big the big three for me are overall performance, overall technical production, and the top one achievement in musical theater. Um the overall
performance the the comment they had for that was uh if this was one normal night of theater and cast in Manville that then then the community is incredibly lucky. Impressive and solid performances from every ensemble member. All the cast members are clearly trained in acting and music. I think the actors were
encouraged to find their characters and they did a great job of that exploration. All of the characters were multi-dimensional which yes Mel and Liz and all the directors put a lot of work into that. And then overall technical production. Uh the first thing they said which is my favorite is uh uh the fastest scene changes in Minnesota and
every queue on time. Yes. >> Uh this was a big show that looked terrific and ran very smoothly. I thought the set was a well-designed background for the show. Scene changes were so smooth, never distracting, and the camaraderie within the within the tech team was essential for ensuring the show's success. So to explain the uh
final uh the achievement of musical theater, the uh that's really the big one for us because um they review well over 200 uh schools throughout the state um and then nominate certain productions like fullout productions to come perform
in a showcase they do in June. Uh that accolade means we are one of the about 30 schools that they want us to uh come up and perform for them in their big spotlight showcase in June. So, we're excited about that. >> That's what I got.
That should be negative. I can see everybody. Here we go. >> All right, here we go. One, two, three. >> Now, hold that for everybody. That's about 67. Thank you, Brock. All right.
All right, we're moving on to our student school board representative. Good evening, school board, and thank you for your time as we present to you our November schoolboard report. Our winter sports have begun. Girls basketball currently has a record of 0

next show, The One Act, which is Every Man in the Circus of Life, and we'll start their rehearsals next week. Our clubs have also been working hard over the past month as well. SAD is continuing on their anti-banking campaign, continuing to educate students on the dangers that vaping poses. They
have been working hard to create cards and treats for law enforcement officers in our area as a way to say thank you during this holiday season. Our student council is starting its annual campaign drive beginning next week. While they are still working deciding on who to give the money to, they will be hard at
work fundraising for the people in need. The Minnesota Honor Society has just welcomed over 40 new members into its program. The induction ceremony will take place next Sunday in the performing arts center at 6 p.m. The environmental
club also went to Oxbow to help clean up this past weekend. FCCLA just finished up with their annual food drive and HOSA had its first fall leadership conference over Halloween weekend. FFA has been very busy this past month past month.

concerts are also coming up with the band concert on the 2nd of December. The choir concert on the 9th. We are continuing to have a great year and are excited about the activities that winter will bring. Thank you again for your time and attention. We'll conclude our November school board
report. >> All right. Any questions from the board? >> Thank you for that amazing update and congratulations to also comment. Very impressive. Um I am wondering did you guys all get to go see Adam's family? What did you
think? >> It was phenomenal. It was great. Um I was backstage for um any makeup mishaps the whole time or six times a week. >> Were you able to make that to the game on Friday?
Yes. Yes. >> I think everyone in the town would >> There's so much to brag about this season. It's exciting. >> It's a good week to be thankful. >> It's something I do I asked last year is like it's Thanksgiving coming up here.
Um, what is uh something you ladies are thankful for as far as the district for our schools? >> Um, I am thankful for all of our support and being able to do as many activities as we want our school.
Um, for me, I'm just really thankful for like all the support I get from my teachers and my coaches. Um, as like I just was awarded academic America. I could not have done it without the endless support from the teachers who let me go early for my meets and my
coaches for um getting my emails at like 11 at night saying, "Read my speech, please." And you know, I couldn't do it without them. So, I'm very grateful for them. >> Yeah, definitely the opportunities that our school provides. There's so many different clubs that you can get
involved in and it's really easy to start up a club if that's something you're interested in or to play whatever sport you want. There's so many different opportunities that our school provides. >> Great answers. It seems to be does seem to be a meaning
that we do provide, you know, different opportunities for different tips. We don't because there's there's certain things that aren't that don't attract some kids and some that do. So, thank you very much. Anything else from our representatives? >> All righty. Thank you, ladies.
Round 3.3 consider approval of acceptance of gifts of Miss Ryan. >> All right. Speaking of being thankful, I Kate Ryan introduced the following resolution to accept and move for its adoption. Whereas the state of Minnesota has generously awarded the following

Miss Hayatt, you weren't there, so we'll let you cook tonight. Um I can leave. Aaron, do you have any comments to make on that? >> No, I know sent that email out kind of explaining everything. So, I'm not sure if there any questions on those. And I think the biggest policy one, which I
think we'll discuss further on, but was most of it was all just driven by NSBA, but one was that we wanted to change was our photography policy or camera policy. There's there any questions for other M?
>> Yeah, we actually just met um last week um and there wasn't too much. Uh we did approve the LTFM proposal. So, they're going to move forward and bring a plan to us. It's going to take a little bit
of time, but um that was unanimous. Um updates from Zed. They are changing some of their policies uh to have no cell phones in the buildings for students, which is kind of new for them. Um but an important MSBA recommendation. Um not
necessarily no cell phones, but that's what their leadership has agreed on uh for consistency. They also did a food drive um during the government shutdown, and they had some really huge donations that I just wanted to shout out.
Affinity Plus Bank donated $2,000. MBT Bank donated donated $5,000. Um, and then their birth to three program received multiple diaper donations. So, a huge thank you to those businesses in our community um for taking care of each other. Uh, the Zed
Creative Writing Contest, the um due date for that has already gone and they will be announcing winners in January 2026. Um, which is really exciting. The prompt was, "The moment I woke up, I knew." So students had to go from that, which is
cool. It It's always kind of fun to see what they um develop and what the writers, the winners come up with. Um, and I believe that is it. We I attached the agenda because Heather's actually on vacation, so I don't have the minutes,
but we'll make sure to get them to you when they come through. Okay. Any questions? Okay. Sorry. community yet. Uh Denise, you haven't had a chance to have a meeting yet. So, looks like you have one scheduled for 1212.
Um legislative, Mr. Scott, looks like uh I don't think they met for a while. I did have a executive board meeting uh last Friday. Um still kind of ironing out our platform, but it's we kind of decided as an executive board to make it kind of make
it more simple and more focused. So, that's where we're at on that. So, uh, >> Mark, our here early. Do we want to move him up on the agenda? >> Well, we can. We certainly can. That's okay with everyone. >> We kind of penciled it in not knowing
exactly what where we'd be on the agenda and what time. >> Well, I don't Yeah, we can actually I mean, we don't have a whole lot of how long is your report. >> Let's keep going. >> Perfect. >> I promise. >> Yep. On the 35 superintendent communications.
Um, I'm not gonna go ahead and go, "Oh, am I on? Am I not on?" >> It should kick on automatically. >> I don't think it does, but I'll talk really loud in my teacher voice. Um, everything is attached. You don't need me to go through it. I did have my very first coffee at the superintendent. Um,
I was kind of nervous because it was Friday morning of the big game and I didn't know if anyone would come or not. Um, had 14 people that came. Even one from my last district came to check in on me. So, um, it was really great. lots of great conversations and things like that. I put that in my notes. I'm not
going to go through everything on here, but a shout out to everyone that put on Veterans Day programs in this district. As a veteran, um I don't know if I've seen a district do such a nice job of honoring those that have served in every single building. I was just in awe,
absolutely in awe, and actually at the elementary one, a little choked up. Um there's nothing better than little kids singing patriotic songs and um just extremely well done. So, I think you can be proud of everyone. And I'm scared I'd miss somebody if I was to thank the people involved, but everyone that was.
Thank you. It was great. That's all I have. How's that? That was less than two minutes. >> Yes. I mean, it's one thing I do cherish. It's my dad when he was uh when he was cognizant, he did actually get to attend uh that program. Yeah. It was
it's one of his highlights of his later years. So, we do appreciate that. Okay. Personnel information personnel information only. Everybody get a chance to look over that. Okay. On to action items. Old business. We have none. And
then um I'm sorry. Did I miss something? >> Admin leadership reports back side. >> Oh, >> there we go. >> Saved a couple trees. Um, admin reports. Everybody had a chance to look those over. Anybody have
any questions for our admin team? >> It's like everybody's getting off easy. >> Well, I have a question. Mr. Scullfield, did you get a chance to attend the Magic Norm? >> I didn't. No, I had >> No. Did you hear good reviews from it? >> I heard very good reviews. Yes. >> Yeah. >> A lot of excited kids. Parents thought
it was pretty good. They keep bringing him back, so I'm thinking he's pretty loved. >> Yeah, he's he's a good one. I've seen him before in other districts, but this >> Yeah, he's clever. He ties a lot of learning into his show. Just pretty impressive. >> Yep. That was good.
>> I had a few comments, not really questions. Um but Mr. Scoffield, I just wanted to say I loved that the food drive that the reward was um the popcorn and the basketball game. Um, I thought that was just a great incentive and that food drive brought in a ton of food. Um,
I helped collect it with food for friends and there was so much there. So, that was very appreciated. Um, for Mr. Larson, I was going to ask, was there any student feedback on the Steam Summit? You know, this year a little bit, um,
they kind of reduced some of the, uh, engaging exhibits. um last year and about so my daughter who was a freshman this year absolutely loved it. Um but it sounds like this year they just reduced a few of the exhibits and it was more geared
towards high school and less of the middle school. Um kids still had a great time but um that's some of the feedback that we're going to provide them is while it was certainly geared for high school um it it certainly lacks some of the exhibits that they've had in the past that that really intrigue middle
school kids and just their curiosity. But overall good. So, thank you. >> I've got a quick question for you, Mr. Rush. Just actually my daughter being there learning. How long have you guys done comment time where you mix in all the grades in the one classroom? Because that seems like an amazing idea to
>> It's I want to say it started when the middle school um began so like 2009 2010. Um we used to do something this is when I was in middle school here at the seven hit wing. um we had exploratory but advisory was added when they combine
five, six, and seven, eight. And so it's an opportunity that we use to have our older students, mentor some of our younger ones, build those relationships um and just give them time to just talk and communicate um and play. >> Yeah, my daughter loves it. I love the idea of, you know, they get to meet
those older kids and have interaction with the older older kids and build that community about school, not just not just fit, but you know, >> in with all the kids. So I We might have to bring in that magician that Kay was talking about so we can um see if we can get Mr. Scullfield's sweatshirt to
disappear. >> Congrats on your win yesterday. >> Told tonight what you're wearing is going to per on my evaluation. >> I'd like to say I'm above floating but I'm not. for clarity. It's a Packer sweatshirt. Just
let everyone know you're a brave guy, Mr. Spielfield. I have one other comment. It's not actually gear turn, but I did like reading through a couple of you guys attached like notes to other things so you can click on and kind of learn more. So, you not necessarily have to type so
much, but then like um the district advisory committee, she had a link to that and you could read through and see what was going on. And then community ed you had links to. So, it was nice to kind of click and then explore what you guys are, you know, more in depth. So, I appreciated that. >> I really appreciate I really appreciated
that, too. And um being able to see some of the trainings that were offered, like the autism training that was offered um through community ed. Um also, I just wanted to shout out the staff um through community ed that kept programs running when our when we were at the football
game. Um just wanted to thank those staff for all that. Um, Lindsay Hes, I saw a cool thing um on yours about the Google Voice pilot we're using for the high school nurse allowing her to send quick messages.
That's so cool. >> I haven't had a chance to connect back with her yet. She was really excited to get it going. Um, uh, every time I stop in, she's with somebody
>> little busy. >> I'm sure that if it wasn't going well, she would have reached out. So, it's good news. I'm I'm pretty confident if it wasn't working exactly how she wanted it, she would have circled back right away. >> Yeah. Hopefully, this saves her some
time, too. That's amazing. >> She's about two weeks in, so I'll check back in with her tomorrow. Sure. She's >> very cool. And then the other part is way to go on that website um that you have linked here. Um it's just an area
where everything you can do to support our schools is listed um even classroom and teacher wish list. So thank you for doing that. >> That was nice. I looked at too. >> One more comment. the activities department. Um the fundraiser that was
done for all the students to be able to go within the community was so cool and really highlighted how amazing our community is at showing up um for each other. I mean it was one thing to see everyone there but then to know behind the scenes that was happening um so everyone would go that was incredible.
>> Yeah. And it was a lot of the community you know putting it putting those dollars and that work together. So pretty cool. >> Very cool. Yeah. As we were leaving the game Friday, I think the next team, some of the coaches were maybe farther down, but some of the coaches from another team were walking in getting ready and they looked out and
saw all the cast and buses and they go, "God, did they bring their whole town?" All the cast and buses. I had to laugh because I think we did. >> They had to find us special parking. We didn't have enough spots. We brought more buses than Adina did. So, they're
huge. All right. Well, we appreciate your reports even though uh Superintendent Geese keeps us well informed. >> So, but great job and we do appreciate it. Thank you. You guys take off if you like. >> Happy Thanksgiving, guys. >> You too.
Everyone should stay. >> You want to look at my switch just a little bit longer. >> All right, moving on to the consent agenda. Take a look at that. I'll take a motion
to approve the consent agenda. Thank you. Do I have a second? >> I'll second. Any discussion on any of those? >> Hear none. All those in favor state I
>> oppose same sign. Motion carries. Okay. On to action items. Old business. We have none. New business. Uh, approve the audit report. We do have an audit presentation by Mr. Penog. Correct.
>> Is that how you say it? >> Y. >> Thank you. I did it. >> Thank you, Google. >> All right. I noticed one slide that came a little wonky, but I think the rest of them aren't too bad. >> Probably a pie chart, I guess. >> Yeah, it wasn't a pie. It was a bar
chart. So, you'll you'll notice when we get there, >> let's present. >> It's always like so obvious and I never can see it. Deh. All right.
>> All right. Well, I know how to clear a room, I think. Or maybe you know how to clear a room. Might have learned something here today. Um, I'm Craig Copenhagen. I'm the principal on your audit. Um, so I'll
give you kind of the the cliff notes. So, let's see. You want to just pop this. There we go. >> Um, clean opinion on the financial statements um means we're comfortable. You know, all of your numbers are um materially
correct um as they're um included in the document. uh we had just the normal finding on the preparation of the financial statements. So basically, you know, Bob gives us the numbers and then we add this nice collection of almost
100 pages of greeting um to go along with it. Um statutory compliance is that's the last bullet what that's referring to, but basically some of the um required elements we have to test for Minnesota statutes each year. um seen
that one before, but basically there's a few um older items on your bank reconciliations. Um not not a significant dollar amount. Um so if I didn't have to actually test for it and
report on it, I wouldn't. But so that's all you have. So pretty clean uh pretty clean audit report as usual. Uh we did have uh some changes again um this year. So um we have some coming up
next year, but uh there was a standard uh change as far as reporting liabilities for compensated absences. That's the technical term for it. We think of it in terms of severance or sick leave, um PTO, uh things of that
nature. um none of that affected your fund financial statements in any manner. So basically it was the additional statement that got layered on the very front of your financials. Um it only shows up there along with your
long-term other long-term liabilities like bonded debt, things like that. Um the next one on for changes the financial reporting model. I don't expect that to have much of an impact um next year for school districts anyway.
Um perhaps um a tweak in the disclosure for property plants and equipment type assets but nothing too significant there but nevertheless they keep you know standard subject so I guess they have to earn their keep too. So they keep giving
us keep giving us uh changes. Um the one thing that's not in the audit packet um for this year for fiscal um 2425 is the federal compliance audit. So up until that uh point we've had to do
we've had enough um federal uh grant funding flowing through the district that we had to do that additional compliance audit. Uh for the most part, you know, co ran its course through the end of the fiscal 2024. Um
so your f spend on federal dollars dropped below $750,000 for 2425. Um so as a result of that do not have to do that compliance audit. So I know Bob misses it.
>> Right. Of course he does. >> Um so um okay. So just uh talking a few numbers. So uh looking at the general fund. So fund balance um think of that
as what's uh remaining uh at the end of the uh school year that carries on into the next as far as financial resources. Um so the unrestricted portion is kind of exactly that. You have um you have control over that one. Um discretionary
control. So really no strings attached on uh on that and kind of the increase uh in 2025 is you know you have the CTE house right so
that's an asset on the on the books and then you had a couple lots kind of rolled in with that same line item uh one of those lots was sold um so the proceeds of that went into unrestricted So that's kind of probably half of the
increase is just just that sale. So um correspond that with the next slide. Um so this is the restricted and reserve categories um including uh quote unquote non-spendable. A largest portion of that
is the CTE house and the one uh remaining lot. So that's about $450,000 at the end of 2020. five. Um, so that's included in there. The increase here is kind of related to a couple new
categories of uh restricted funding through the state. Um, both tied to the read act. So there's REAct literacy aid and then read Act uh teacher training compensation. So that has some uh
restricted uh fund balance at the end of 25 that was not here to the end of 24. Otherwise, the rest of your restricted uh components in your uh restricted fund balance are pretty pretty uh comparable to last year. Pretty pretty steady.
Um operating capital um we've been had kind of a a little bit larger year again for purchases, but basically you're putting that uh capital portion to use uh mainly in the areas of technology and then also there were some larger
curriculum purchases in 2025. The next one is long-term facilities maintenance. Um in 2025 um this included um basically turf, new turf for the football field. So that was kind of the
the decrease there. So this one um you've seen that now for four out of the five years. Um this one has been negative. Um that is permissible under um the state statutes around LTFM. Um, this is all kind of relates into
your uh 10-year uh capital plan. So, probably revisited that August or September. So, um the funding for this category is metered out fairly evenly from one year to the next. Uh whereas
your actual capital projects, your the projects you're actually doing, those are not evenly metered. Right? So, you'll have bigger spends in some years uh than others. So really, if you were to just like freeze spending, so you just we're not
going to spend any LTFM dollars, you would gradually see with the metered revenue coming in, that would eventually go back to zero positive. So nothing to really be alarmed about there being negative. So that was the main point. Um
food service. Um this one you had u budgeted to have positive bottom line of 117,000 came in a little bit positive uh over that at $148,000.
Um, this one I know like MDE the state is wanting you to, you know, basically spend that down and get back to about a three month um three months of expenditures in fund balance. So, um, to
kind of help with that, they've kind of relaxed some of the restrictions on this category, so you have a little bit more flexibility on what what you can spend. Um but um up until um 2025 here um
especially like with the COVID dollars in the CO years that uh when the federal government made meals free um the reimbursement rate um was enough that really the the revenues
coming in more than covered the expenses. And as a result of that, you pretty much every district who was in had a food service program saw their food service fund balance built, you know, and then it's like, well, what do we do with
this? We're pretty restricted on what we can do. So hopefully with the relaxing of that, uh, some of those restrictions, um, you'll be able to put some use out a little bit more easily. >> I have a question on that. Is that okay if I ask? >> Absolutely. Nope. Fire.
>> Okay. Um just for clarity, it wasn't federal, it was state, right? >> Um to start off with in the early co years, it was all federal. >> Okay. So, >> and then I believe it was 2023 2022 maybe and 23 the state.
>> Yeah. Federal went back to normal kind of three and reduced and the state said, "Okay, we'll figure out the difference." >> Okay. And then this might be a question for you. I'm not sure, but as we go with the the free meals. The state is paying less, right? And
expecting districts to cover more. Is that what you're seeing or not? >> At this point, they have not made that change. >> Okay. But that's something that could this could be >> potentially. >> I don't I don't think it's going anywhere. It's not grabbing any traction. I don't foresee that
happening. >> Okay. Like when you say it's not grabbing traction, do you think it'll be provided by the state consistently? >> I do. Absolutely. For now. I mean both our you know our legislative meetings superintendent platforms across the
board I have not seen that grab any traction. I've yet to see it land on any platforms and I've seen no reactions from our legislators. I would be shocked if it goes anywhere good. >> We actually we actually took it off our legislative platform. >> We did on ours as well. >> Good. Yeah. Sometimes when those things
come through then the balance kind of gets negotiated. So, like Craig is saying is that it's creating fund balances in this that's getting too high. >> Yeah. >> And so then districts have to get creative and there's rules on what you can and can't use that for. We've got a
great plan in place. It's just it it can make it difficult. >> Where is this money coming from? >> It's exactly as he explained it. So a meal costs this much, but the reimbursement rate can be higher and so it you can grow your fun your food
>> from the state. state and federal rules. >> Oh, okay. Okay. >> Y and then you know whatever our chart I guess >> I remember hearing some talk about that too. You're not you're not not hearing that. I just don't think Have you heard
anything from >> I haven't just everyone's just kind of let it go. >> Thank you. >> It's not close enough to an election. >> Maybe just one comment. We do have a plan to spend
probably about 115 to $120,000 on some new lunch tables for the middle school. So, this balance more than likely will probably drop this time. >> Awesome. The nice thing with kind of relaxing the
restrictions a little bit on on how this can be used is, you know, absent that additional latitude, the additional freedom, that spend would have to come out of the general fund, >> right? >> And that would be taking money out of the classroom, which is not any thing
that anyone's interested in, >> right, >> either. So, >> so this is a good this is I think this is a good good change going forward. Thank you. >> Um, community service, um, the main thing kind of with the
decrease, there's a couple things I guess. So, like with school readiness, there were more stipulations um, layered on by the state as far as like having certified faculty um, in the classrooms here um, as well
as classroom ratios. So, you know, it added some cost and and then you have more um of your faculty community service participating in the school medical or health insurance. So um otherwise
you know the positive here is that the different programs within community service that you have they all have a positive fund balance. So um even school readiness and for for many districts school readiness is is a kind of a
struggle. um they either negative or near zero whereas you know you're you're positive. So that's a good thing as well. Kind of speaks to the I think the interest in the program and kind of the strength of the program too. So um debt
service here there's there's really nothing uh nothing exciting going on other than you have to basically levy in 5% more than you're scheduled to pay for principal and interest on your
outstanding odds. So pretty normal. Um enrollment numbers um just kind of an enrollment trend. So a little bit of a a decrease over the five years. So I figured you know from five
years ago about 70 fewer um students. This isn't exactly you know bodies in chairs >> um but it's 80s average daily membership. So how many students are in the buildings in the classrooms day to day to day to day to day and
averaged out over the course of school year. So um just some quick math here. Um say it's a a decrease of about 70 ADMs over the five years. If you assume each ADM
is worth about $10,000 of funding, that's about $700,000 of the budget. So that's why I mean just numbers wise um it's always kind of good to keep that in context. Um in the over the five years the state has been trying
to put more money into the classroom by increasing you know the mill rate per student but um nevertheless it just kind of illustrates the point you know you have to be careful um with your budgets and with your spend and things like that. So, so you know, I think it's
important, I think, for the public to kind of understand that when you're setting the budgets and some of those discussions and what that you're having, there's there's a good reason um for that and taking a a close look what you're spending on.
Let's see. So, that got a little bit funky, but it still works. Um, so general fun revenue, where does where does the money come from? Well, 82% um is tied to um Minnesota Department of Education. So, um that has with it, you
know, strings attached. So, when we were talking about the restricted fund balances earlier on, uh that's where they come from is the 82% um here. So the other thing too is the federal slice of this uh pie chart uh
shrunk um because the the co money was done a year ago and kind of for federal funding back to normal. Um other um includes interest income on kind of your your bank and mislaf balances and things
like that. So u being on this side of the interest rate uh curve has been a good thing. Um, so I think that was about $350,000 or so of income. Um, 375,000 uh interest income on your investment.
So that's a positive. Um, then kind of looking uh where money is going or what we're spending on. Um, this is pretty normal, but in the school district world, your biggest um expense is uh your people. So that's the dark
blue um slice of the pie here. So almost >> um 74% uh of your total general fund spend is people >> salaries and benefits in the dark dark. >> Yep. >> Microsoft and Google don't like each other.
>> No, they don't. They don't. Um purchase services. So you're talking about um zed in a previous segment. So zed shows up in purchase services. That's included in that 13% there. Um the capital um that is going to be both your operating
capital spend as well as your LTFM spend. So um here you know tech technology as well as the turf for the athletic field shows up in the red spice. Um by program same expenditures by program this
creative. So um the main point here we're looking at the same expenditures but this is by program. So not you know what are we spending where are we spending is what this was showing you. So kind of start with the light blue um slice of the pie kind of on the right
there. So regular means regular classroom instruction and then if we work clockwise vocational um programming special education instructional support pupil support. So if you added up all of those, that makes
up about 77% of your general fund spend is going either into the classroom or to support students. So that's a good number. 77 cents on the dollar.
Um administrative and district support. Um you're running very efficient here. Um 6.66%. So this is uh kind of the normal range of what I'm used to seeing for admin and
district support is about 8% up to 12% size district. So it's pretty efficient. Uh likewise then reflected on the next chart. So this um chart is looking at
expense per um again kind of per ADM. Think of it as per student. So, we're just lifting numbers right off of your um financial statements here and dividing by the number of students to get kind of a per student uh cost
comparison. So, the dark bars, shaded bars or dark blue bars are Cass and Manderville um school district. The lighter blue shaded bar is uh kind of a comparable of all districts in the state that have
between 2,000 and 4,000 students enrolled. And then the far right bar is all districts in the state regardless of component size. So um what this kind of illustrates so in 2025 this was $1.8
billion divided by the 2100 students uh in the in the building. Um so that is $855 on administration and support. comparatively you're about um $375
less than other districts. So again, when we're kind of talking about that 6 5% on the pie chart, that's what's reflected here just in a different context. Regular instruction. um this one. So
2025 you're in kind of the second year of um the faculty uh contract. So um that one started in 2024. So that was kind of the what's kind of normal. You see you're in the year that
the new contract takes effect, you see a little bit of a jump to the next plateau and that's what's reflected here. uh 2025 is just normal kind of stepping in um increases, but again, you're putting, you know, the the largest spend that you
have is is regular instruction, putting money into the classroom. Um special education, um a little bit of this same. Now, here you add >> there's that wonky number, the yellow. >> Oh, hey, that cool. Okay, so the the
correct number for this is a test. I feel like I'm grading my own test here. Uh so the the wonky looking number that is 3,158. So that is special education per ADM for all districts in the state. So here um
couple things. So you're managing the special education dollars through your relationship with Zed. So that's helping you kind of um share those costs with other districts who al are also members of Zed. um you did add four uh positions
of your own uh in 2025. So that was kind of the increase transportation. Um I'll kind of speed things up here now. So what this reflects is just kind of the benefits of owning your fleet uh
versus contracting it out. So that's that's really the differential there. Um because you're comparing to um a blend of districts that both own and contract. That's what the benchmarks are on the right whereas you're owning. So you kind
of see the you know at least from a cost savings there. Um almost $400 per student by managing it yourself as long as you can put up with all the headaches that come with it. I guess um vocational uh this is vocational instruction. This
is not a reflection of you know spending too much or um anything like that. This is a reflection of just the robustness of your program. So you have more vocational programs under your roof uh than other districts do. That's really
the main uh difference there. And then capital um this is going to again be operating capital and LTFM within the general fund. Um but that was combination of technology uh curriculum
and turf on the football field. So I'm going to stop there. Other questions overall um very good results again. So thank you Bob for putting up with this again.
I have a question, but you might not have it. Um, so on the general fund unrestricted balance, it appears to have gone up. In the notes, it says it's 5%, our goal is 10. Just because it went up doesn't mean the percentage went up or do you happen to know what the percentage was the year before? Like, is
that getting better overall for us? Was it lower before? >> We're guessing it was probably about the same. >> Okay. Because the budget went upre. Okay, >> I know as a superintendent we always
hope for a boring audit. So, this is great news. You never want an exciting audit. Um, I do want to give a shout out to Bob. Um, the hours that kind of go in behind the scenes to make sure that Craig and his crew can can do this work is a lot. Um, and he does it with no
complaints ever. And it's a lot. It is. And it's not just, you know, one time per year when the audit's going on. It's every day. So that's really the kind the deal maker there. It's every day. To see
an audit though, that is just indicating exactly what I researched when I came here is fiscal responsibility. Um, this district does a really great job of that and I think this audit illustrates that. So, thank you for showing all those graphs. I think it's probably a good visual for all of us to remember that,
you know, we are good stewards of the taxpayer dollar out there for sure and trying to do our very best. >> Thank you for pouring up by likes being called boring. >> And you are welcome. >> I just have did have a shout out one of
your staff. I believe her name is Casey. I don't remember last name. She did a great job explaining everything to me. Plain English. >> Good. >> I don't speak numberies. >> Let her know. >> I will. Thank you. >> Thank you very much.
>> Have a great holiday. >> Thanksgiving. >> All right. We need to look at the act. >> We have to approve this. We should >> approve the audit. Is that what you >> Yeah. >> Oh, I'm sorry. Did I skip right over
that? Yes. You did the presentation. >> No, I knew. >> Thank you for >> Yeah. Thank you. Okay. Got it. Um I'll be looking for a motion to approve the audit report. >> So move. >> Thank you. Motion. Okay. Do I have a second?
>> I'll second. >> Thank you, Miss Armstrong. Sorry. Any other discussion on that hearing? None. All those in favor state I same time sign. Motion carries.
>> Now we can move on to the read. Get a chance to take a look at that. Pretty simple. I thought even looking for a motion to approve that. >> So moved. >> Ryan, I have a second. >> Second. >> Thank you, Matt.
Uh any discussion on that hearing? None. All those in favor say I. >> I. Same sign. Motion carries. On to 523. Approve the family pay medical leaveback handbook policy.
>> Did you want to talk a little bit about that? >> Yeah, I sure can. Bob and I are having so much fun with um learning everything there is to know about paid family medical leave. What we opted to do was to add it to our employee handbook because this is the law. We're not going
to put it in contracts and things like that. This is something that we will follow. But to have something written out like this um just makes a lot of sense. Bob found it with his group and um to have this in writing helps our folks. Um we're kind of navigating all
this through. deed has to be in charge of this at the end of the day, but we have to be here for our employees to make this go smoothly. So, if you have any direct questions and Bob and I, both of us can help you answer them, but that's where this is being um kind of
driven from is to have something in place versus just saying, "Oh, you have to just go to D." We still have to have procedures in place here. And we thought that this is a good way to do it. We had to send out notification. Every staff member has to, including yourselves, um,
anyone that receives a paycheck from the district, um, has to acknowledge that they got the notification. Um, what else am I forgetting, Bob? We've done everything that they've told us we need to do. This just seemed like the most logical way. Um, you will see
districts all doing it differently. Some are not putting in handbooks. They are creating a policy. You know, it's one of those things that what if it's changing all the time? So to put it in our handbook just made sense for us. >> I have a question. Um so it's going to
cost us financially. Is there monies for that? Because I remember that being a concern. Um but I hadn't heard more. >> All of us as taxpayers remember are paying for it. Everyone in January will see it's a44 of the employee
44 of the employer. Um and there's some state contribution. Um, you hear lots of conversation about it, but everyone is paying for this program. I think what you're referencing is school districts were trying to kind of get we we do give
our employees a lot of time off um already. Um, but with this um there will be additional time and and that's fine, but I think what you mean is substitutes. We will have to replace those positions. So, there will be a cost to the district. Um, Bob is meeting
with every single person individually and going through a calendar and trying to make especially like a bonding leave makes sense for the district and for the employee. So he have you already had like 12 meetings I believe.
>> Um I think eight all that I've had this >> quite a few. So we're just kind of navigating those as we go. Obviously our employees want to do this for the district and you know for their families and that's important. This year's a little different because you get a leave, for example, say you had a baby
in 25, you get to carry over, you can take up to 20 weeks in 2026. And so districts are kind of getting in some ways hit again. Um, yeah, it's just been I I mean, we're doing what we can. It's the law, you know,
>> yeah, for sure. Just wondering how you know nothing comes on set and of course we have Bob but how that will affect our >> they are paid through the state they get a paycheck through D but the substitute is a cost for us. >> Okay. And then what about the bodies for
subs um is that a concern with increasing? >> We are looking at some very creative if you noticed last board meeting you approved an increase in pay. That's helping a lot. We've been able to um get some more subs. Um, we have some things that we're going to be presenting to you
next month as well. So, creative ideas on additional subs. >> Just kind of curious, speaking of subs, correct me if I'm wrong, because like the average sub license can't necessarily fill in for a long-term sub 10, 12 weeks. Correct. So, you need to not only find subs, you need to find subs that qualify for the long-term
subs. >> Absolutely correct. >> Those are probably harder to find. >> We are lucky that some of them that do qualify are willing to do one leave in January and then another one in March. We're going to kind of match everybody up. Yeah, you are right. It It's so far we
are covered. Can I say that? I mean, so far we have coverage on everyone that's come forward so far. >> Just out of curiosity though, this year, I know I was talking about before. This year is kind of unique because now somebody could have been on maternity leave in September and they get to take more maternity leave coming
this year, but going in like 27, is their time off any different from how it was before? I guess would a mom who had a baby or a teacher who had a baby have about the same amount of time well normally before this law >> that isn't the biggest part that changes
it's what you can take paid family medical leave for um it could be an alien parent it could be there's just so many more the maternity leaves paternity leaves those kinds of things we're used to having it's just the extended u availability
>> and maybe one of the other things that's different though too is if somebody doesn't have enough leave built up into their own bone acral, they will now have access to dollars to be paid through by the state. So,
>> it's good. >> Sometimes if people didn't have enough leave, they wouldn't maybe take the full 12 weeks. They would maybe take six to eight and come back sooner. Whereas now, more than likely, if they've got op the
option to get the additional dollars from the state, they're going to stay out there for the the 12 weeks. >> Okay. And then what you're saying is that because there's so many other things you could take the fleet for, there's so many other teachers taking eight, seven, 10 weeks. >> The additional people that qualify now
has increased. And so, and it's kind of a, you know, you're putting a dart out there, but you don't really know what things are going to come your way. People that wouldn't have taken a leave um to stay with, you know, a a parent that's broken their hip, now they may
opt to do that because they came in. And so, we'll just navigate this. So far, so good. Everything's going well. The first step is this policy and making sure that you guys kind of understand how we're we're doing things. All right, I'll be looking for a motion
to approve that in policy. >> So moved. >> Mr. Ryan second. >> I'll second. >> Thank you, Mr. Stock. Any more discussion on that? >> I have one more thing. Um, I just noticed well and I had chatted with Bob before the meeting, but um, not every
district is managing on their own. So, thank you to you, Beth, and Bob for attempting to do that as we move forward. And we think it's the worst decision ever, but right now, >> we can adjust if it is, but it's really nice that starting off, you're willing to. So, thank you. >> And I like to watch our pennies.
>> You do. >> We can do it. We're going to try. >> All right. Any other discussion? Hearing none. All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Same sign. Motion carries. Moving on to 5.2.4
first read. There's no to vote on this. Everybody have a chance to take a look at those. And on toformational items, I guess special school board meeting on the first in this room and another regular board meeting uh December 15th here
again also. And then we do have the tax and truth 6 p.m. Monday. So here also. So >> I have a quick question. Um, on the policies, did policy committee meet on these already? >> Okay. Was there anything you guys wanted to highlight? >> The only thing I was going to highlight
was the um the video trailing. So, other than on buses, I think that's you would point out too. >> Yeah. Um, this one is definitely a a bath item. Um, there's a piece in there that they use the word normally. Um, under no circumstances should we have
any surveillance cameras in our locker rooms. Um, I feel really strongly about this and so I asked the policy committee if um they could put number three video recording and cross out the word normally. I don't want any exceptions there and so will not be used in
bathrooms or locker rooms. And so that would be a change from MSBA, but again as I presented to the policy committee I I feel very strongly and I cannot think of one incident where that would ever be okay. Um, they put the word normally when I called legal and asked, they
said, "What if a news crew wants to come in the the soccer team just wins the sports championship and they want to come in and do recording?" I would ask our athletes to step out of the locker room to do that. I mean, there's a solution to that every time. So, um, if you disagree with it, um, that's that's
me. That isn't the policy committee, but they did support my recommendation >> and it just it is just the first read. So look more into feel free before the next. >> It's good to get highlights though because that's a lot of reading. >> We like to leave it to our policy
