Uh, public input and Aaron said there was no I'm sorry Elizabeth you said there was nobody okay uh looks like the only committee that has met is actually policy um Aaron did you want to read go through that or too
um I can go through it I mean most of it was the vast majority of it was over the handbook and we went through the handbook made some changes to have it reflect kind of what we have and um I think we're we have a schedule for a board meeting right where we can all review it and discuss it But I think the vast majority of it was going over the
handbook and making changes. We went over some of the changes that Kate wanted to make. We made those and added some notes to it and clarified some things that were kind of confusing. So I think we did a lot of work on it. For the most part, I think it should be ready to go. Awesome.
All righty. Thank you. Uh super 3.3. I'm sorry. Actually, Zed did meet. Okay. there has met since our last board meeting. There wasn't a lot. They actually um are going to skip a July meeting because there just isn't a lot
of agenda items. Um they just talked about their summer programming ending. Um and then a lot of the grants grants that they've applied for uh they were awarded. So that's very exciting. All right. Thank you. Uh on to 3.3.
Superintendent Communications. Take it away. All right. Well, it's July and so there's not a ton of things going on, but um I did send you a weekly update. I'll continue to do that. Um if any of you want to sit down and kind of go through things, let me know that too. We
can set up meetings. But um I'm really working hard right off the bat to try to get out in the community, do as many community things as I can. That's the fun part, getting to meet everyone. And um I think I saw a couple of you down at music and Vanderville and things like that. Um it's been great to be on the
committees. Um it's always nice to have those before, but when you're actually um a true member, that's been that's been great. Um and the last thing I just want to say is the staff. I just cannot get over Carlin has been wonderful. The office has been wonderful. Bob's really
hard to work with, but making headway. Um no, I just can't get over the amount of people that have taken their summer time to come in and say hi and meet and greet, and everyone's been really resourceful. We're in a kind of a hiring, you know, trying to make all all the things work
out. But other than that, things are going really well. My reports will be a little more in detail once the school year kicks off, but right now things are going really, really well. Thank you. Any questions for All righty. That was pretty easy for the
first one. I I will I just want to let everybody know that I I'm planning on scheduling meeting with Miss Geese 30 days. So, one month after her first hired or start date and then uh probably um in the six month mark and just kind of check in, see how we're doing. So,
all right. Uh personnel, personel information only. Take a look at that if anybody has any questions. All right, moving on to the consent agenda. Do I have a motion to approve the agenda? Some move.
Thanks, Kate. I have a second. Thank you, Eric. Any discussion? All those in favor to approve the consent agenda, state I same sign. Motion carries. On to discussion items.
Uh Dr. Clinton, are we I put that in there, but if we want to roll through the Oh, yes. Because we do have for something for activities, right? Um yeah, activities and the other um just quick motion second and approve all the action items. Yes. Okay. And then go back.
Okay. 6.1 business uh 6.1.1 approve proposal to increase can activity fees. I think we talked about that last time. I have a motion to approve. Fact, I won't make that motion. We have a second.
Were we going to have Brock talk about that at all? He's here. He's here to do that question or anything. Oh, okay. Yep. I don't have any questions, but on the activity committee, I remember us talking about it. Thank you for being here, Brock. You're free from questions
from me. Yeah, I I thought the proposal was really well laid out and so but we want to make sure if there's any questions that he could help answer that. That's perfect. Yeah, there was one uh item that will probably be proposed later on. Our HL conferences
used a $7 for adult uh fee and $5 for kids. They're looking at upping that to eight and five $1 for adult. Um the big nine went to 10 and six probably five years ago
and they didn't want to do that want to but that needs to be proposed and passed by the HPL committee which meets in October. So, I'll probably bring it back if that's something that would be in addition to these, which would probably
match up with, you know, our family passes moving up of the pulling up a little bit increase on that sheet that was shown last month's board or board meeting. So, yeah.
Um, just to clarify, sorry, I promised there was no questions, but we weren't at we haven't increased for a very long time. It was talked about at the activity committee meeting, and even with this increase, we still aren't as high as comparable districts. All right, any more questions?
I'm sorry. Any questions for All right, there's a motion. Was there a second? No, I don't think I don't think there was a motion. I made a motion. Nobody second. Okay, we have a motion and a second. All
those in favor of approval state I same. Motion carries. On to new business. Uh 6.2.1 2.1 approved resolution calling special election to fill school board vacancy.

management resolution. Do I have a m I have a moment to make a motion? I um so move. Thanks. Do I have a second? I'll second. Thanks, Elizabeth. Uh any discussion?

Thank you, Kate. Second. I'll second. Thanks, Eric. Any discussion? Yeah, I really appreciate Mr. Larson's email to us just further explaining what that was for. So, thank you for that. I was going to say that as well. It was
just very written out, just clear and explaining what um purpose was and what they needed to do. So, I appreciated that. Great. We have a motion and a second. All those in favor say I. I same sign motion carries
6.24 approve your 27 FT sorry FT FM revenue projection. Can we get highlights on this for someone to go over a little bit? As much
as I love this spreadsheet from Bob, it would be super awesome to just have the So, actually that these two spreadsheets, sorry, your highlights, they come from MD, so they're not my sign for but LTFM basically is a pot of money
that allows us to maintain our our facilities. Um, the revenues are generated by one, how many students we have and then how old our facilities are. So each year it continues to generate a little bit more money. Each year we use the money basically for some
health and safety items. So like to be able to maintain our fire safety systems like the fire alarms, the sprinkler systems, those kind of things. And then if the chemistry department doesn't use all their chemicals or acids or whatever, um it provides us with a
revenue resource to be able to dispose of those items safely. It also um provides us building maintenance. So like if the 1956 building over and needs some retough
pointing the mortar joints between the bricks, we can do those kind of things. Um maybe a good example this year is the turf project of football stadium. Um you can do things to maintain what you have.
It's just you can't um remodel or build new. So like if you decided that you wanted to build a new high school building, you could not use these funds to build a new high school. It's just to maintain what you already have in place.
Um you have a question. Yeah, just I I vaguely remember a change. Is it now used to cover roofing? Is that a new change this year? So roofing has always been part of LTFound,
but the way that that worked or will work through the end of this school year, the 26th school year, is if you've got a project, you have to use that pot of money that you're already allocated to be able to pay for th those projects.
But going forward starting in school year 26 27 the state is giving us additional le or additional revenue for those those projects. So with that the community at roof is in
need of replacing. It's at the end of its life. So our plan is that we will be doing that project the summer of 26. So, they're estimating that the cost of that project will be about $300,000.
Um, and instead of us using coming out of this $750,000 pot of money that we already have, the state's going to allow us to probably be able to sell a small bond for $300,000
and then pay that back over a period of five to six years, probably. and not have to use the the original pot of money that we have available to us. Okay. Which then just basically allows us to
be able to get more things done on our projects list. So probably probably either the August or the September meeting, we'll probably be bringing this plan back to you because MD has not had enough time to
work through all of the the legislative changes that took place. And so they're not exactly sure how they're going to how we're going to report these roofing projects on on these documents. So, we'll be bringing this back to you again
for the approval in the next month or so. Sorry, this might be getting the weeds. Just out of curiosity now, you said so in the future, ideally we'll sell bonds to pay for that roof. And then do we use the long-term funds to help pay down those bonds or
No, that's the additional revenue that we'll have available for us to us. So, kind of preserves that original pot of money going forward then. So, so you're not having to use $300,000 of
your $750 to pay for that project for that one time. So, any other questions? I I just want to add that when we went through this in past districts, it always hasn't been well laid out. It's a 10-year plan. You can only know, you
know, how much you're going to do. The three to five years in this plan is really solid. Um, it really keeps you away from using your fund one funds. Um, I'm glad to see that there wasn't a roof already on the plans because then we can't with the new legislation. So, it
really is working out well. Um, I liked the especially the three to five years in here, but we'll bring that back with a maybe we can put together a synopsis. Yeah. You know, no. And this description is so helpful for me. So I really appreciate it when you when you
I'm guessing I will probably bring this maybe to landing facility or andor finance committee between before the we actually bring it back to the full board. So a really good point. Awesome. Thank you. And then just another reminder these
dollars can't be used to pay for staff. So it's like the state has restricted what the use of the lines can be used for. So if somebody from the public says you can afford to put new turf on the field, why can't you afford to pay your
employees? Well, it's restricted for those limited purposes. So yeah, thank you for that. And you can do just one motion to approve the plan. You don't need to do the two. Okay. the two separately.
Okay. All right. I think we got a motion in a second. Um I didn't capture either of those. We didn't get that far. You're very excited today. Kate had an exciting question. Yeah. I'm sorry. Okay. Um so moved.
Yeah. Well, uh we do we need do we need make we probably need to vote on both change agenda? Correct. No, we can vote on both. I'll reflect it in the minutes. Okay. Thank you. So, we have two of them to approve. Um, we approved the uh revenue projection and the expenditure plan 6.2.4
and 6.2.5. Do I have a motion to approve those? So, move. Thank you, Katie. Do I have a second? I'll second. Thank you, Elizabeth. Any other questions for Bob? If not, we'll take All those in favor say I.
I post sign. Motion carries. Okay, back to discussion items. Uh, strategic road map and school board threeear work plan. Dr.
