that motion and I would like to add something to our agenda here under business item 7.3 a motion to approve the team recognition for Brady and Adam will speak
his report in favor of amending the agenda say I name okay public comment. We have none today. Approval of the consent agenda.
communications report number one. Good evening everybody. Be back after being out for two months of meetings. Uh just want to highlight a couple things that I have on here for you. Um again prep. One of the things I'd like to do is We have workshops already figured out
school year ends and so those have been done more or less locked in stone for probably since March or April and that helped on the front end here to make sure things are taken care of if we needed to start school tomorrow work it
be um having that taking that little bit of work in advance making sure things long term we're all set up for the 25th and 27th on the 27th picture and all that good stuff are already being taken care of
that taken care of number. Um I know families would definitely appreciate that. Um I want to uh want to talk about the handbook. So I I notice uh 71 is the adoption of the handbook. I
did not provide the handbook because nothing changed. I was was so excited when legislation didn't push anything through in order to Oh, you got to have this. Make sure you do this. So, the I'm going to say it didn't change. The only element that changed is piece of the discipline
matrix and that is a component to where I I'm having a compulsory police notification every time a THC is that that was kind of a discretion before. There was no real best practice for it.
search dogs. They don't even train search dogs for THC. They know legislation the prevalence of them is more likely. But I'm quite frankly tired of having to put any kind of brain power into thinking about whether or not they're
around. And I'm just going to tell kids right out of the gate. You can expectation from police. just being a little bit more strict with that we're done with this. I found especially like with the cell phones when we implemented that cell phone policy and I told them about our
conversation a handful of years ago said the power and the control of this is actually in your hands as students if you want to screw around with your phones and make things difficult and be on your phone shouldn't be I will have no problem going to the making a recommendation in November in January or
in May and say please let's make this a change and the kids responded to that very well so a little bit more heavy. So that's the one piece of the handbook, but in my world they're two separate
documents that we merge into one just for convenience for access. Um and then again just continuing with doing things like CP and getting set up beginning for elementary
plugging away at the beginning of the year and before we know it's going to be any question I just have a comment um in the past we've always gotten a copy of the handbook and I feel as myself as a board member for me to do
due diligence I need to see something so that if I'm question about it I can questions and I will have a hard time approving that tonight just because I have not been to see what it is. I know you said there were no changes, but still maybe there's something in there
that I would have read through that I would question and I don't even know what questions to ask because I haven't seen. Okay, fair enough. I was operating under questions. Thank you. people think about taking
it would operate under the 24. Okay. Okay. To a degree, but um the matrix would be I wouldn't have the matrix then unless you wanted to approve the matrix separately. Well, I'll just run it through
otherwise we're looking at what the third week of school and so eight days of school prior to board meeting except last year we approved it for one year because there were addition
so approved for one year then starts not okay I'm just saying that I I have a difficult time we went through all the policies we had an opportunity to look through them ask questions is this really import Same thing with the staff.
I haven't missed it. I apologize. I haven't seen and that concerns me if I'm approving something then I don't know. Fair enough. Yeah, I guess
we're looking for discussion. I totally hear it's an important thing and and I get that at the same time. I I also can appreciate like if it hasn't changed other than that one change to the matrix like I'm looking at it. I found it online on the website. If
literally has not changed from what it was last year and the only update is that change to the matrix then yeah I think it would be a good idea for us to get a copy every year but I don't know that I would hold up approving it I
guess if it's in fact the same way we can approve it like doesn't sound like it's propos. I would recommend we do have the last year intact until we Oh, yeah. Yeah. Even if we only cook for one year,
it's still we have something. All right. Good afternoon. Good evening. Staffing, we are currently fully teacher staff. I know we might have a a position now in the kitchen open. Um but otherwise we're looking very well for
this time of the year. Maintenance. Um as you you know read all the stuff's on track. But one thing people know first year since they brought the stadium bleachers over from Mayor they are getting fully scrubbed down. We got a
special chemical that they're using all the dirt off the tables out there. be out there all day tomorrow. So, that's something new. The building's almost ready to go. We're on track. They're painting doors, doing
touchup, so we're in a good place. Um, we had a little issue with the key fobs today, but Greg worked through that. They're calling the computer to find out why that's happening. It's happened twice the last week. So, we're going to hopefully work
through that. very we met with Palmer bus. I should say I did worked the room a little bit. Um some highlights there is we're going to have a student tracker that we've been having but it's going to be going out to all the families so they
can follow their student on the bus and know where they are. We're going to be really diligent make sure people know about that. And another key feature is at noon or the activity department we'll be able to pull up a and show all the bus routes for the day
and then we colored what's filled and what's not. So that that should help short drivers or not buses but he was very so that was a good meeting. We attempt we attended a webinar online
about individual coverage health reimbursement accounts. They put a new progressive way of looking at healthcare. Um and Kim is going to meet with staff and share more about it coming in September. Um but it was just
a new perspective, new options for people to maximize their dollar, how they feel best fits their family and then the staff can decide if that's the way want to go or if they want to stay with what we currently have, but just trying to stay on the cutting edge of
what's going on. Um, professional development, as you know, you can see that I've been going to a lot of things, which is great for me, great learning. Um, but we are preparing for our new teachers. We're excited for them to come so they get a comprehensive instruction
what it means. With that, I met with a tennis player today, senior. She's going to recruit two of her uh friends, not her friends, but an elementary student and a middle school student on the first day. They save some time for me to speak. Well,
I'll share about about five minutes about me, but it's more about them hearing from the students of the impact that those teachers are making in their lives. I told them to give them some questions ahead of time and help them rephrase how they would say it. So, it's
more impactful. So, the staff knows that every word they say has an impact to somebody in their room. they might not have seen at the time. Um, so that was really good. And then we've had um in the paper, I hope you read it on last week, they did a staff update this week.
I believe they're doing a student update about our CEO program and the impact it's had on a student to get them excited about creating their own business. So I hope that'll either be this week or next week. So um that's been going really well.
And then the activities, the players and the coaches reached out to Jim, Mr. Purlock about putting a number 11 sticker slow on their helmet. So it was, you know, team driven something that became parents, put them up to it. It
was driven by them. Jim reached out to the state high school league. Uh there's two ways for us to approve that. The board can vote tonight and say yes, we'll do that. and it'll only be for a year or you guys can say you know we
don't want to have a say in that and then the principal the myself can write to the high school league. The reason I thought I would like you guys to decide is um it's a bigger picture and then for some reason if you ever wanted to say no
that it comes from a collective voice or if you all want to say yes it's always collective and we've had time to discuss it and say is this the right thing for so very good and then MSBA Amy Jordan reached
out to the school board of package is a transition workshop at no extra cost. It's usually within the six months of the start date. This will help set expectations for the coming year around superintendent goals performance
evaluations conducted usually lasts about two hours and everybody gets a copy of the goals and standardsbased evaluation booklet. Now these dates are what Amy currently has open. Julie has been great about Oh, you know,
I hope you know that about Julie and I talk and reach out, but we thought it'd be good to bring that tonight as well. All right. Are there any dates that we don't work on? Let's get rid of those. Oh, and it's two hours. Yeah.
For me, the 6,79 would not work. Most of these, did she give us a time for these or just I see that. She must be open during the day.
So Wednesday is open 20th is open the 12th. possibly woodwork. We're going to do
it. The only hiccup there could be volleyball. I just have a schedule. Right. I don't know. Yeah. Like if we did it
at every October 20th. So if we were here, which is the start. It does. Well, should I check with her and see if
either of these are still on the 15th or the 20th of October 15th. That's NBA Wednesday. Yeah. So there will be probably same
Yeah. Okay. Any other questions for Adam? Is that a question with Palmer? Um, will that apply to after school activities too? Tracker. Yeah, I'll ask. I was just more worried about
getting to school kids to and from school, but I'll ask about activities. Yeah, because you just mentioned like I know in the past there's been issues with bus drivers for after school activities and having so
if it's an option that's why I like that verification. Yeah. And then also it allow you to see where the bus is. Like if your kids are waiting, you see where the bus is.
But I'm not saying it's real time, but it could be. It should be within a couple minutes. Sure. But yeah, it might be updated every 10 minutes or something. Who knows? I don't know. I don't know. Sometimes it's nice like if they are
behind or something, we not have spoken in us. Exactly. Or the bus as close down to let them out. So I'm curious if it's a different That's the same name. So I don't know
but I talked to John last year. Adam, I want to thank you. drove up tonight. I was like very pleased with the maintenance. Thank you for your leadership and working with the staff and whatnot. It looks really nice.
And also just I brought it up last year, but um with the detour in Raymond Street, um street is a cut across. We got semis coming through there. We got cars coming through there. And there's a bus stop on the corner there. And in the morning, the cars are parked on both
sides of the road. The kids are kind of running across. I brought last year and I suggested maybe have a conversation with Christian home church their parking lot would offer the kids an overhang I I don't know what it would be like if they funeral but hopefully they would be picked up early enough and dropped up
late enough they would have a little protection and shelter from the elements as well as parents can park in the parking lot and then the kids could stand in and out but the bus would have to back up or turn around or Is the facility open to us doing that or
we need to call? I don't know. That was just a suggestion that I brought up and I was hoping that someone from the district would reach out. I'll call them, you know, a the bus company can always say no. And if all they can tell me and maybe they'll like it and if not,
but I don't want any student. It's really hard in the morning because parents keep kids in the car sometimes and then they coming. Traffic is coming and they're running out from behind a car and you don't see them until they're on the street. So,
even with the stop sign that goes out, there's they're still running those stop signs on the bus. The bus parks east and the traffic is going north south. So, they're not they're not stopping because they're not
behind the bus. That would be really nice. Tim's trying to make Can I just put it because you guys these reports every other week if I just put it up that if we find out or do you want to email
I know somehow the people that use that bus stop will have to be informed that actually Anything else? 7.0 is a business. So we all agree we're going to table 7.1 handbook till next week student handbook
till next week next month. Okay. 7.2 need a motion to adopt the 2526 staff. I also not seen that one chance to review it. And it's the same thing there. I had to
change the T website. So it's it's all very minor things, but if you want to make a motion to approve that team recognition, I'll make that motion. Any more discussion on that? No, I think
would you like us to reach out? I don't think that's I mean we'll say yes, but let's ask the parents. I mean, let's just do that. Okay. Those in favor of say I
those name under the policies the four you guys under consent. Are you guys okay with the structural change where I put everything in the upper right hand corner? Yes. Sure. Okay. And then right under I think it's purpose. I'm going to get rid of that.
We have to do it every year. open any major policy changes. Yeah, just to clarify too, are these the ones that we're just working through from the NSBA?
So that's why they're not going to be in order. She has them in three categories. So I'm going to work on the blue this year because it should be a threeear cycle. So I'll just do one cycle this year. The next but there's ones that
have to be done every year. Sorry. Um 8.0 is our meetings that are listed there for next couple months there. So motion to
say I reached out and we
