No approval of the agenda. I need a motion. So move. Second. Any discussion, questions on that. Those in favor of approve the agenda say I. I. Those oppos
have a comment. We have none at this time. 5.0 consent agenda. Need a motion to approve consent agenda. second discussion. I'm wondering if we could just talk about policy 203.5 agenda
court said that we would get the agenda 3 days prior to the year. Sometimes that's really a tight tight time frame. Yeah. To make sure we do our due diligence to read through everything and whatnot. So if that's something that could be changed,
maybe it's 5 days, four days. >> Does it say three days? >> Three days on the document. >> That's the law. >> But the policies, my understanding is that it's a template that's sent out to us. We can change it if we choose to because we have done that before.
>> We already like is if we're getting Tuesday now, >> but we haven't. >> Oh yeah. >> But not on the ongoing basis. So, I'm like, if it's in the policy, let's get it in the policy and then we follow the policy. >> No, I I always thought that we had it
more than 3 days before the >> I think we made a change kind of to be earlier when started. >> We tried to be on Tuesday and then some people missed, but then we addressed it, but it gets posted on Friday. >> Sure. um for any last minute ones, but
ideally you guys will get the majority of things unless something pops up on that Tuesday afternoon, which is what you requested and then as people if there's some mistakes then I talk with them individually. Um
so you guys whatever days you want but ideally we're still going to send it out on Tuesday unless there's some changes and like week there was some great conversation with Kim about the handbook and that's why getting them on Tuesday
is so nice so we can make changes so when we come here it's all ready to go >> I just feel the policy should reflect our >> I don't whatever days you guys want is it will that straight on you
>> is it is it for when we're posting the agenda or When the board receives the information, we should have the agenda read. >> This says the tenative agenda and supporting documents shall be sent to the school board members 3 days prior to the schedule school board meeting. We
can change it like it's a Tuesday before. Should we just put five and because it says 10 attempts so we're still >> okay. So change it to >> five
>> and I'll still try to get it out Tuesday which will be six room >> part is just yeah >> okay so five but then if it does get posted then the
community does have a Anything else on the consent agenda? Those in favor of um approving the consent agenda as we discussed with the change in
meeting minutes say I oppose. Okay. Okay. 6.0 is communication report and we have parents club members here. So >> did you want to >> I can do a quick introduction but yeah.
Yeah. So, you know, throughout the year, you you hear me talk about events that have been sponsored, promoted by by parents club. And so, I thought it would be a good idea to have them come and just kind of share some things that they do um kind of the fundraisers and then how they give back to our students and
programs that they sponsor. So, really works. >> Hi, good evening everybody. Pam Rosen, proud parent. I'm Steph parent here, former graduate.
Um, so we are the elementary parents club. McCrae has had a parents club I believe since McCrae started. Um, when we consolidated into one school. Um, we used to have one for east and one for west and now that we're in one building, we just have one parent club for all
elementary school students. Um, we do take prek as a part of the elementary through fifth grade. We sponsor their field trips. We're moving towards trying to get almost to the point where we sponsor the whole field trip and there's no out of pocket cost for for sure
teachers but hopefully for families as well as we know that things are getting tighter economically. Um we typically put on one to two lysenas a year. Last year we had a wilderness writer from Minnesota come and speak to the children or to the kids and they seem to really
like that. Um we also put on the book fair in the fall and the spring and that's kind of our fundraiser other than the readathon. Um, and that's where we get all of our monies to do the different things. Um, during Jump Rope
for Heart, we do popcorn and juice boxes. >> We have the snack station. >> Yeah. >> Yep. That's right. >> Um, then we have t-shirt sales up at Omelets all year round. We also provide every new student in the elementary and all kindergarters with a new like McCra
t-shirt um when they first start. And then we also do the McCary day Friday prizes which I think right now is like a little van beer bag that we came up with. And on page four in your packet u here uh for the information that staff
just went over it and actually gives you all the information. Uh so 110 t-shirts uh went to summer rec students this past summer. Um, the parents club helped 372 students, 21 classes with field trip
funds equaling $2,988. Um, again, the fall and spring book fairs helped supply teachers with 170 books. And again, that was just to the teachers. Uh, supplied the library with 142 books, 118 of those from the book
fair and 24 of those came from the author visit. 11 staff mini grants requests. Uh so we do have a grant program where they're able to submit in grants if they need help with uh whether it be supplies or
um what have you. Um and then they come to us for that. Uh so we had 11 of those come to us this past year and this again this is just for the 2526 school year. Uh supplied 100 shirts for kindergarteners and anybody that was new to the district in elementary.
So the grants, one of the things that we did was um the gym in the elementary school wanted roller skates this year. They did their own fundraiser. Whatever was left over, parents club came in, got the rest covered for them. And then we're also building actually McCrae Wood Shop is building a storage cabinet, but
we're paying for the supplies so that they get stored appropriately. Um and then if you guys can also see within the packet, it kind of goes through. Um also withstead spoken about who we are kind of what we do uh what we kind of stand for uh
fundraisers that we have planned. The other thing that we do for fundraising is we work our little tails up in those concession stands all year round. Uh we have a great time doing it though it is a lot of fun uh to to see everybody uh during the games and everything and and we do have a lot of fun. We do also set
up little popup t tables where we do have mccra merch uh as well. And I know people do appreciate that as well. Um our little bone fingers and bracelets and and pom poms. Sold those pom poms like crazy. I tell you little fancy little hair things. So that was a lot of
fun. Uh so this kind of goes over um few more information there on the front. Uh we do the box tops. That's u something else that we can do to help the school. So that kind of goes into a little bit more detail and things as well. chemical
packet. Uh on the very back page, page number five, you will see the information. This is the exact letter that was sent out to all area businesses for the readathon. >> How do you guys differ? Obviously you
do, but how do you differ from the 21? >> We that a lot actually. Um so we focus specifically on just elementary students. Um so like can't remember is popcorn for basketball game like we supplied the stuff just for the
elementary kids and then high school. Um we also I think 2180 does a really good job at like big big projects and we kind of focus in on individual needs. So, like if a teacher needs I remember what was one of the grants we
did for a teacher. Oh, she wanted um prizes for like the best readers in her class or something. And so rather than her putting that out of her own pocket, we come in like, "Yep, here you go. Here's the small amount." Um, we also do grants on an ongoing basis where I believe 2180 does
it like annually more so than anything and doesn't have like the ability to do it on short notice where if teachers need something in three days, we can do a quick text message or whatever and be like, "Yep, write them a check. We'll we'll get it covered."
>> Well, thank you to the team and everybody who's been behind the scenes helping you because you are a valuable resource not only to our district to the Thank you. How's fundraising been going overall? >> Very well. Um, we
we typically fund raise for a year in advance. So like school year 2425, we fundra for 25 26. So, we always have like an extra year to a year and a half worth of dollars sitting in our account because we do
know that the economy changes and es and flows and that way we're always set up to do the most for our students at any point. >> Well, thank you. >> Before you guys do, I really want to say thank you. as as coming in in my first year, they've been nothing but gracious,
helping every little student up to our fifth graders. They partnered with 2180 to make sure that we had some waters for our staff. Um, very approachable, very kind. We're just truly an asset to our
community just like 2180. And not every district has such a wonderful groups willing to step in and help our students. a sponsor. >> Does anybody need any other verification between 2180 and parents club?
>> I'm glad that you're just talking to each other. That's >> Yeah, absolutely. Oh, >> and that's just it. I mean, working together. Exactly. End goal is literally let's get the most right. You know, just in in maybe conjunction
with this, I think we talked a little bit last year about with all the back to school supplies the lists are coming out parents need to bring. Is there anything that the churches can get involved with in our communities? I'm thinking Kleenexes for some some little drive like that. Is there is there anything we
can do about that? or who would that fall under or >> like your goal is to get x amount of boxes of Kleenexes and nobody has to bring any Kleenexes in or x amount of boxes of pencils. I know they do back to school supply drives, but if we maybe
had a goal in mind about things just think our churches are very very giving and and kind of a fun easy thing to do. >> I love that idea. Deb, >> we're on board. How do we start?
that one thing I would say middle school I feel like is kind of a hole right now. Um because elementary has us and that used to be sixth grade as well when we were separate schools. Um and so like their sixth grade field trip does not get any funding from parents club
because they're technically middle school. Um so I would think a greater need, not that that's not a need, would be to figure out a way to get middle school students a little bit more coverage. Um because high school has 2180. They do a great job there, but I feel like middle school kind of gets a little little lost sometimes.
>> And we can certainly reach out to make sure the teachers know to fill out the grant form for 2180 so that they're at least asking and then if it's said no, we could try some other resources. >> Yeah, because I I know that there has been times where they're they're asking
because I know they do like the the reading um prizes and stuff as well or celebrations and different things like that and they're they're really reaching out so that way they don't have not all of that has to come out of their their pockets. Uh and I don't know if they do
know that there is somebody organization that they can reach out to. >> I'll talk to John to make sure he touches base individually. >> Going back to what you're saying, Deb, is does the school have any kind of extra purchasing power for buying those
supplies? Like is it are there ever any deals offered? you know, >> or purchasing groups, >> right? I'm thinking like, okay, >> like a church, a church would much rather give money, I think, one lump sum
and then what an advantage that might be. >> Well, we can get tax exempt >> so church. >> Although it might be more to driven if you do actual boxes and you do like competition.
>> I know that sounds weird, but and and easy. >> How many grand would love to buy a box? >> Go to your closet and just >> and I don't know why do you request a certain
I mean is that something you'd want to do? >> All the churches in the area do this. This boardroom is going to be a clean where are we going to start as many runny noses as Oh my god. Or we have, you know, each church has an
item, right? So, you know, this church does Kleenexes, this church does, you know, the sanitary wipes, this church does Ziploc baggies or, you know, whatever it may be. Um, I think that would really help a lot. And if I have
to put on a grapple suit and walk, it sounds like I'm going to be doing that on Thursday. Unless you all go on my page on Facebook and vote for team Pam so I don't have to walk in the gruffle costume for stop the boss for United Way. That would be fantastic.
>> No, don't do that. She's already winning. Oh, team Pam. I'm like way down like $300. Totally walking in. One FYI for you, the list of openings for concession stand just went out
today. >> Oh, okay. >> And there's already people signing up. >> I like how it looks on us. >> We We like to pick our >> We do. That's exactly right. Yeah. >> So, >> yes. >> Is there anything that if we would want to do some sort of a community donation
that maybe the parents club could take the lead in that or is that >> Yeah, absolutely. >> Yeah. Yeah, we can make flyers and and get it posted and sent it out and send Yeah, 100%. >> Try something this first year and see
where it goes. >> And I would and that's something I would start now, >> the list did come out, >> which I love, by the way. >> Yeah, so do I. I was thrilled when I saw that. It's already printed ready to go.
>> There's the local church. >> That would probably be a good Yeah. >> Any other questions before we go? >> Thank you all for your time. We appreciate We'll do Todd Bert from here next.
Do you want Derek? >> Um, yeah. All right. Well, um, I see you guys again, uh, for the second time, or at least some good second time. Um, I'll try to keep it short and sweet. Um, I'm trying my best to learn this new bound system and hoping to, uh, get most of it
up and running here, um, by the end of the month for everybody, all the to be able to get on there, start playing around with it, see schedules or at least majority of the schedules that will be finalized. Um, teaching uh parents and kids how to register online.
Um, you know, giving a um kind of a bullet list of things to start looking out for. You know, ticket purchasing, it's going to be all all by your phone, no no cash. I mean, we'll have some opportunities where if someone just does
not have a phone for some reason and has cash and that's the only way they can get, they'd be one of those. We do have a plan. I have a card to help out with some of these calls. But hopefully pull off the band-aid for some of these uh folks that maybe just aren't really
settled on doing it all on online. Um hopefully we'll have a good way to push it out towards them. uh give them a little bit of a heads up before everything can start to happen. Uh activity fees coming up here, you know, putting them out there. Um trying to pay
online, which we're going to a different system as far as what they would normally do for their um um pay, but we're still going to use some of that payment system, right? That pay track, >> rev track, >> rev track, >> not for activities, >> not for activities, but we'll still have
that a little bit. Hopefully maybe down the future we'll just use bound for all all purposes, but um do that. And then I know that we talked about or you guys been talked to about having student athletes not have to pay to get in. So if they're out for an activity, then
they get in free. Uh so we're trying to work on a system. We possibly have stickers for them, possibly have it through online where they per kind of purchase it, but it's zero dollars for them, but they have to show proof that they are part of an activity. Uh, so we have that kind of coming down the line,
too. Um, so hopefully have all that kind of situated and bound um by the end of the month. And then huddle is another thing that I want to kind of put out there is um we're up a stance and huddle. Um we're going to have online
streaming for baseball and softball this coming season. Didn't have that before. So we had to put up cameras for that. And then uh football also got another camera that helps out with their own um kind of their own scouting uh stuff too. So since we went up a little bit, cost a
little more uh to kind of compensate for a little bit of that. We are going to go towards um um paying to online stream. Um so it's like $8 to get in for a normal day. Uh we'll try to do $20 for
the whole season. So they still get a deal. Uh but they're going to have to pay a little bit just to come compensate a little bit for uh the new uh deal that we have with Huddle. That's for fall and winter, but not for
spring. Spring they'll give for free still because they don't have to pay to get into uh see Facebook. So that's something I want to give a heads up to um all the community and stuff that they'll have to pay a little bit to do still live streaming. Uh that's just the way it's going to go. You're going to
see that with cross everywhere is going to pay for streaming. Uh and then hopefully by the end of this year uh the live or the sponsorships for the um board that will be done as far as payment for that and then that sponsorship money we can uh
have a more of a sponsorship plan to pay for Huddle where we don't maybe have to really rely on live streaming purchases. But for this year, to compensate a little bit for that, I'm still going to go after some sponsorships to help alleviate some of that cost for the huddle. Um, but then after this
five-year plan with the the um video board, hopefully we can get that um sponsor money to pay for that. Any questions on all that? >> And that would be the huddle would be for McCrae events. Yes. >> So, if you went to a different school
that we were at and they had a fee, you have to you Yeah. And hopefully down the line with huddle um since all of Canon conference is in it. Maybe there will be somewhere down the line where they could just do a flat fee for the whole season. I don't
know if that's down the line or in their packages, but at least for us, you know, there's six um six or five home volleyball games and four volleyball, four football games, and if you just pay 20 bucks, you get to watch all of the all the fall.
So, it's still a fairly decent deal. Uh, but at least if a lot of people, if thereund people watching it, that will help us that cost for that this new thing. So, but again, it's we'll see how it goes. We'll see if um people are
turned away from watching it. I don't think so, just for a couple $20, but we'll see. >> How does that work in conjunction? Like some of the districts use Christensson Broadcasting. Is that might be available to us too or is that
more costly or >> you know Christian broadcasting is one of those that's getting a little more more more popular. Um I I don't know what the cost is for that. Um but that's something that I would like to you know look into as far as having a commentator
for each game. >> You know football has it here for McCrae right now but nothing for basketball. It's just a live stream to have someone commentate. But you know it's kind of one of those once you someone in there, it's tough to get away from it. Um, at RCW, we had a really Dean Dean did a
couple here at McCrae. Um, too, once you get someone in there that does a good job and then you lose that commentating, people tend to like need that. So, that's another cost. I think Christian Broadcasting has contracts with those. I don't know what the cost is. I can
definitely ship, but that's somewhere down the line. I mean, we're high school in 20 years will look like what Big 10 does here. just that's what we're heading towards is >> that based on >> RTR has them has them.
>> So I mean that they're just basically pointing out all their live streaming to them. So they just pay a one flat fee and call it good. So >> do you know did the rest of the conference switch over to bound then two? So 85% of the schools in Minnesota
>> 85%. So that'll make it nice for away games that are buying tickets. It's all >> if if they do if they do the online ticket singing if they do but some schools aren't doing the full full thing. So there's I would say the majority of them
in Camden conference are doing it but majority already we're already kind of at the full full thing already. So, >> okay. So, it just be easier for traveling to >> Yes. be consistent. >> Yes. >> Are you running into any issues with the
suit pass thing? >> I know you kind of had mentioned. >> Yeah, we just kind of me and Kayla are working on that today. Um trying to figure out how do we verify where they're at? You know, fall sports season because they'll be participating this fall. if they're only participating
winter or only to participate in spring, we'll have to use last year's data and kind of give them that, you know, plan on going out for it again. So, we'll give you the the benefit of the doubt, use that kind of data from last year's and then give them that pass, but we'll
have to teach them how to go online and purchase it. You know, they're going to have to purchase that pass, but it's free. That's how I feel like doing it instead of using stickers. Um, we still might have to use stickers, but I figured if we have stickers, kids might lose it, you know, and then they'll go
why I am work, you know, student athletes. So, um, and it's going to be a trial to see how it goes. >> I wonder, and maybe you've done this, but if you reached out to is bound >> Yeah. >> bound and see if there's anybody else that did something like this and just
ask like, okay, logistically, how do you do this? Maybe there's a way that they have something in their system that can make it real simple. >> Yeah, we have I would try to get with our we have a region kind of coordinator. Um got to do a little better job for us right now, but I have
to get with him. We have a lot of questions kind of going through here this >> with all of the conference on one ticketing system. Is it like a universal price or does McCrae still set our own? >> We set our set our own. Um, and that's
one thing, you know, bound costs if for every transaction it's going to cost whether we eat it or we split it and I got to figure out how we split the that processing fee or it's all on the consumer. Um, so some schools are I think WM is going to need all the
prices, all the processing fees and they might up their ticketing to kind of compensate for it. So, that's kind of one of those things we kind of deliberate on of $8 for adult, $6 for kids. I think it's right now, um, we go up a dollar to help out with that
processing fee. So, I think it's like 70 cents or something like that for a processing fee. So, those are some questions that we're kind of going on um to to kind of help out that process. But, if we do I think there's a discount if we do everything through bound, even
lunch and all that kind of stuff, there might be a discount. I still have to verify with bound if there's a discount coming my way. >> Um your advertising board that's in the that you talked about where are those where those dollars go now? >> Right now it's purchasing
>> it's it's basically they >> sponsorships there are um certain levels and that's going towards >> the we're paying that off. So they can fiveyear plan after this year. Then we can kind of renegotiate as far as what
kind of steps we have and then we can really have a more of a robust sponsorship platform and that money can be divied out a little better instead of just one item. >> Anybody else have any questions for Derek?
>> Thank you Derek. >> Yeah. >> Great talking on you. >> All right. Thanks. Well, even though the school year is done, we still have kids that are coming in and out of our our building. We just finished up with our kind of kindergarten readiness. Uh we had 10 students that came in that are going in into kindergarten that just
needed a little bit of uh some extra help and and support. So, uh Christine Clustmore and Ally Fricky met with those kids for uh 12 days in June. And then today was our first day of an extended school year. So, we had six kids that qualified for that. So we'll do uh eight
days and then a week off and then four more days just to try to reduce some of the all the summer depth that happens. So it just kind of keeps those kids a little bit uh more uh on track before we start out the school year and Nancy Tolman is doing that for us. >> What do you mean by qualify? What what
does that mean? >> Those would be the special ed students. >> Okay. So they they collect data throughout the year and if we see um a dip in scores like over a Christmas break then that would be one way that they could qualify for that. So okay so if we know that students are going to I
think all students dip a little bit in the summer but we know they're going to dip a little bit more than what we would expect and they can qualify for that. So we'll bring them in for those. >> And then when we did our tour this spring uh Mr. Holmes showed us some of the the new uh tinting on the windows uh
that are it's actually on now. you have in your your slides or your pictures, we're going to see that. And we had talked about trying to make that um that entryway into the K5 wing a little bit more controlled. So, when the doors open at 7:30, they don't close until 8. And it's
just anyone can come in and uh and wander through the halls or the cafeteria or the gym or the middle school or the um the high school cafeteria. So, uh, with that new screen, it gives us a little bit more access to, um, to limit that, at least what they can do. And then we're going to direct
students to come into the office. That would be a more kind of traditional way. So, we're going to encourage parents to use that parent drop off. And then we'll have our parents there to meet those kids that might need a little bit of extra help. And then parents that that need to bring their kids to to a class, then we'll come in through the the
office, then we can buzz them in. So, we can keep that door. it'll still be open, but we'll have more control over who's coming in and uh and where they're going. So, that'll be one of the features that we'll add to that. And that that was a request that came out of our uh leadership team uh this winter
and then eventually the staff. I thought this would be a good way just to kind of limit the amount of parents that we have in the hallways before this starts. So, that's the direction we're heading there. >> All right. Any questions? >> Do you have uh class numbers for the
grade that we were kind of keeping our eye on to see if >> Yep. So, the third grade h hasn't changed yet. So, we'll see what happens. Uh we usually don't get those changes until of course open house. So, that's when we might see a few kids uh come in, come out. But, um if anything does change, I'll definitely keep you posted
on that. So, right now that class is at 41. So, >> okay, there's nothing else. Thanks, Todd. >> Adam. >> Yep. So, Todd mentioned elementary school, summer school's just starting.
Secondary just finished. So, the students were up here. We had three or four teachers working with them. They were able to get caught up. They did go very well and they buzzed themselves in smiling every day they were here. At
least when they saw me. Um, Todd also mentioned you can see the three of the security film. So if you look in the middle, you can see up top, you can see the lights through, but every other place you're seeing the reflection. So the far right, you see
that box, you can see it in the door. So you can't really see in unless you go up and, you know, actually make an appearance. And then on the front one, that radiator and that box is actually on the inside of the door. So you can't
see what's going out. You're seeing the best of you. So it's just one step of trying to make our building a little bit more secure uh without making a a big impression like we're not Fort Knox, but we're going to do everything we can. They're
not tamper resistant. That was a lot more fe. But we haven't had those issues. It'll be kicking. So, we're going to start with this and see how it works. And then in the middle, it actually goes to those doors. Everything else is on the inside, but the front of
the building actually is on the outside. But at night, when it gets dark, it will really accentuate. You'll be able to see better looking down if the lights are on inside. Um, but it's a good tradeoff because during the day when the kids are
there, you're not going to see them very. So, um, we also, you know, we talked last year about our partnership with the CL City and the pickle ball courts. They came last week. Um, and I know we talked about, you can see to the right on the
basketball, the three-point arc, there's a gap and on the tennis court there's a gap in the pickle ball lines. Um, and the contractor did a really nice job. I mean, it's it's not a small gap. It's you can notice. So, hopefully it won't
take away. Um the nets they put in that the city put in are are state-of-the-art, top of the line. They're on wheels so we can wheel them against the wall. So, really happy with the the foundation partnership. We'll see in the next if it
gets used. save so much money for >> and you know we're only using the tennis courts for one season now. >> Did you were you playing pickle ball last week or >> I somebody this weekend? >> Yeah, >> I was playing um after the 5K and then
literally an hour after we were done. So yeah, and they're out there and so hopefully it's it's a good partnership in the community gets them here and for people on campus. So as you know with the hiring process now with our our
major events, we want student input. this one of the uh boys and after they met uh with each candidate, they actually sat down with Kim um because they had specific questions just like before um and and shared their input and it was
valuable and Derek did it and then Derek actually I don't have a picture of it all went in as well and then the boys actually came back 20 30 minutes later that's what it felt like it could have been five or 10 um and had more comments. So they were really invested
and uh this is current going to be 10th going to be 11th and 12th grade. So we had a big mix. Um so a lot of people it it's just not the senior captains. Um it was a bigger group and since there was
only one external person um Dererick and I talked we didn't include families but if this would have been big we would have and for activities only we're going to start asking parents to sit in as long as we keep with the computer system
because then there all the answers the numbers drive you know I talked about that the numbers share what the input is and there's no give and take um because they might not fully understand all the rules associated with doing interviews.
So, but this went very well. Uh students seem to like it. It's the second time now. So, good input from them. Um then we had our wrapup of T-ball. It's not softball. It's not baseball.
They let me know that this is their T-ball. So, they were fun. We had um in Raymond at the golf course. We had a golf camp. Uh this is just one group of students. They had multiple but very nice. The course um as Bryce said is in
fantastic shape and the students get out there. And then baseball and softball finished their season. This is our fifth graders. You know, this year they got a lot of say um where they made a conscious effort to come down. So we
went out to their game in Washington, but this is the varsity field. So you can see in the bottom right that our pitching mound and the batting is different color. And that's very rare throughout the whole state. So it's it's
upgraded. It's I think it's a mix, but it's a lot of clay. And we got a couple people putting a lot of time on that field. and um our student athletes are really benefiting as long as the baseball I don't have any pictures of them. Um they didn't end up coming
through. So um but they both finished their seasons all the grades and there was a special camp for younger softball players. So they're really working on building their numbers. I don't know who coached that, but I heard they moved um
a game over to the JV field so that those little campers got to feel what it was like to be on the varsity field. So, that was great. And this room had a tremendous amount of support in the 5K.
So, thank you. I know you guys put your bodies on the line and really did outstanding. We're not going to say who did the best because you've been letting us know all day. You got four points. Greg We should probably do some PED testing just
the case. >> It's just a fun event. And then money from the from this whole weekend part of it will go they put towards that baseball field. So they're getting a brand new batting cage with cement bottom. Um and just as you walk in,
you'll see the netting. We're housing it so it doesn't disappear. But um Mayor Peeper and his wife really But um really working hard. We're partnering with them on on that project as well just to give our students. So
we'll have the Raymond fields and we'll have three fields here. Just more opportunities for students to be able to get out. That's what we really want. Any questions? I did not run a PS.
>> All right. Thanks, Adam. Okay. Seven here 6.2 committee reports. Um the only thing is well we're still waiting for trusses on that uh building by the when they're supposed to come at any time
here July mid July. So we're right there. So um when they show up they will get started. It won't take too long I don't think. Other than that any other committee >> Derek is offering to give tours of the fencing too. So when it comes up, you can see the new fencing, which is really
good at accentuating what's going on because we have to walk now because we don't have the golf. >> Oh, we don't have the golf down. >> Oh, that's >> But the fencing is just turned out very
nice. So keep going. >> All right. No, so that's done, right? The fence is done then. Most the extra the excess is going to go around the >> We didn't do that yet. >> No. Oh, okay. >> And then hopefully we can we'll have
money left after the building and that to do the outfield. >> Okay. That's the last be done. >> Okay. >> Let's see. 6.3 board discussion. Sale of the football field.
Kim, we get any updates on that or not? >> No, just that it's been it's posted and we know we're looking for people to come in and just follow the direction of our lawyer that we need to offer offered for fair market value at first and then from
there we'll we'll just go with that and um the lights they're still trying. There hasn't been much progress, but we're hopeful and we'll just keep going there. And Kim's number they call her direct or they can call me Kim has all the
information >> and the people that are handling the lights know that the property has been put up for sale. So get a fire lit. It would be my preference that if somebody buys that property and those
lights aren told that the white school >> because I don't want to have to be tearing them down. >> Say as >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Right. Exactly. >> When was the bidding period ending for that? >> July 20th.
>> But we'll know by next year. >> And we have the right of refusal, right? >> Yes. >> Okay. So, permanent school fun. Um that's going on the ballot this year. >> Yeah. >> Um and we did get some information from
MSBA that they've been sending out to the school. So, um I suppose, you know, we should get it in the paper a couple times so people are aware of get all that information in there. Can it go on the school website, I guess?
>> Yeah. MSBA will be sending out flyer type things that we can put on our website and >> Okay. things like that. I think they were they're planning to wait until back to school end of August type >> before they push that out
>> before they really start hammering it hard. People aren't thinking so much about it yet. So once we get back to school, the state fair, they're going to do a bunch of stuff the state fair, >> things like that. >> And I see they did have like a frequently asked question sheet and
yeah, different things. Are we going to do much locally beyond? I know there's some things we can't do, but put in the paper Facebook page. It's more just kind of put it out. The district can't like promote it right now.
>> Can we list our like our individual dollar amount that we will gain? It's like >> Yeah. We just can't tell people to vote yes. >> Thank you. It's false. >> So, here's a thought. Just because some
of the real regular voters are probably are elderly, they never miss voting, probably don't go to the Facebook page because they don't have kids in school. I'd like to invite the district if you'd like to be part of the Raymond Harvest Festival if we could have a float or some people walk in with a bulletin
board or, you know, sandwich board. Sandwich board. Yeah. Just say, "Hey." And then some handing out suppliers so that people are aware of it because I think it' be a good way to get a whole lot of people. And that's like what's the month? September >> or August. Okay. So that's same time
frame. So >> So just let me know because I'm on the break. >> And some of those um some of the data that MSBA has sent out I think would be perfect. >> Short sweet and ask questions and blah blah blah. So pretty much already done.
Just >> well and the biggest thing people need to understand is it not come from tax money, >> right? >> And and it's and it's a way to get additional money for the school. So, it's not going to increase any taxes and
it's more money for the school. >> But the perception is coming out of my pocket. >> Yes. >> We need to agree. changing the percentage that they're using out of this. >> If it wouldn't pass
probably because people just don't so they >> you know like I I feel like >> it's not checking it if you don't if you leave it blank it's a vote >> can't come up again next year you know after people see it on the ballot or you know I don't I don't
>> the legisle has to do it again. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> I think it's important though that people know if unions just leave that blank. It's a no. >> Yeah. It's not because they they take the total of all the votes cast, not just the people that voted on that issue. So, makes a difference.
>> Would there be a reason why someone would vote? No. But just not understanding. So, just there's no real reason. So more the uneducated aspect which just shows importance.
>> Yeah. >> Is could this be something that the parents club just throwing out there? Parents club would could do and they could say vote yes. >> Yeah. >> As long as they're not really closely associated with the district. >> Yeah. Because they're done.
>> They're outside to do >> but they we can information >> as long as they use all their own paper. >> Yeah, they can be like a vote yes committee kind of thing. >> Even putting it on some programs for
some athletic events this fall might be a place people will see it. >> Kind of a did you know sort of a thing. >> Yeah, did you know Yeah, >> let's go. Get it out there. More eyes. Okay. So, what have we got here?
Authority renewal for operating levy. I ask you about this. >> I'm just writing down. Sure. Um well, we have the operating levies. >> Yeah. >> Um and they're good for 10 years. So we
have one that's coming due. >> So Ellers's created this handy dandy Whoops. Um just this is just general information. You guys know taxes are spread on market value. um 10 years. And
what the legislature found is that once a community passes an operating levy, 10 years later, they all like 99.9% of the time they voted in again. >> So the legislature said, "Why are we
making districts have to pay for the election, pay for the the attorney to write up the language again, all of that stuff when it's probably going to Anyway, let's just let the board renew it one time. So, basically, the first
vote covers 20 years instead of 10. So, we have two. One of them we need to do now. Um, it it's a $15460 per pupil operating levy. Um, it started
out, let's see, where is that? That's on the next one. Um, oh, that's just showing how funding from the state hasn't kept up, which we all know. Okay, so this the authority that's coming due soon um started out as
$350.37 um but $300 of it was converted to uh local operating revenue or local optional revenue. The state allowed us to just make that an the state allowed us to just make it an automatic
thing. So that took the 300 off. And then we have this one is has inflation. So that's why the amounts are kind of goofy. Um so now we're up to about $15460
per pupil for taxes payable into 27. Um, so you can just do the the um resolution to renew it for another 10 years or we can go out to vote. Um, it would be best
to do it this fall if we decide to do that. But it's it has a cost. You know, we have to pay the attorney to write up all this stuff. We have to pay the county to run the election since it's a general election. And
for $154. I'm not sure that that cost is worth it. But >> so might might we be able because it says must allow for public comment. >> Yep. >> And there really wasn't anything that really blasted it out to the public that we were considering this. Can we do
something like that and then vote on it next month? >> Yes. >> Get something in the paper and then at least we made the phase effort of What's the deadline for getting it that for us approving it >> to June 15th?
>> Is that right? >> Yeah. Yes, you can renew it from now until June 15th. >> Okay. Okay. >> But if we want to vote, we have to let the county know by the day after our board meeting next month. >> Oh, okay. But if you're if you're
thinking you just want to renew it, then we don't have to worry about doing a vote and then it's we're good to go and then we get to decide again in about two years for the bigger one. >> The big one. >> Would I lose if we would do something have something at the next meeting for
public comment to come ask questions about this? Could they put something together about what the impact could be? >> It just keeps everything as is. >> As is. >> Yep. >> Okay. >> No new impact, just everything as is. That would be good to bless. Yeah, it would just continue our current level.
>> And I guess just a question for that. So I understand. So if there's an inflationary factor like you know for taxes payable in 2027 it's $154 but fast forward five years with inflation that number could go.
>> It could go up. Yeah. Yeah. So just so >> but it was that's what was voted on originally so people had >> our other one does not is not inflationary >> so really everything would stay the same
but still potentially like the average taxpayer it may go up a little bit based on the just on inflation. >> Yeah. >> But it's already done that this last >> for the past 10 years. Yeah. >> Yeah. I just want to make sure I say your taxes aren't going to change if
anybody asks, but then they go up four bucks or something. >> Yeah. >> It won't be a lot because of Yeah. >> So that is a just take that 154 times our student bodyish >> 120 just about 125,000.
>> Yeah. And there's no differential for age groups. It's all the same straight across. No, it's AP APUs. Is it >> they wait some of the students? >> Yeah, the seventh through 12th graders
count as like 1.2 of a student. >> Yeah, >> I don't remember. Oh, this is just Eller's showing us of all of the referendums that have been nobody's gone out for just a straight renewal vote. if they go for a vote,
it's been a re revoke it and replace it with something else or to add to it, >> make it, >> but nobody's just done a vote just to keep it the same out of all these years that since that's been available. So, they just wanted you
to know that. Um, yeah, let's see. say I can't remember off the top of my head if it's well it doesn't say for per pupil so not APU it's just per pupil it looks like
I can double check >> yeah it's we don't have thousands of students and stuff >> right >> okay well I think getting getting it out paper. Good idea. Let people know. Um
and we can then vote on it next next meeting. Do the referendum next. Okay. Anybody others on that? >> Yeah. I think that's >> who also isn't like July 28th like the
filing. >> Yes. >> It's coming up pretty quick tomorrow. >> Starts tomorrow. >> Start tomorrow. >> And there's a $2 filing fee. Don't forget. >> Oh boy.
I can see your car. >> Um, then I wanted to say too, um, we probably should do Adam's evaluation or two. It's been a year. So, um, thinking we probably would just do it after a board meeting as part of a board
meeting because I think we have to close it, um, and then open it back up and we have to do that during a meeting. So, um, If next month works for everybody, if everyone's going to be here. Yeah, sure. >> Okay.
>> Unless you want to push it back a month. >> Wait, what works for you? It all works. >> All works. I mean, the the sooner the better. >> What does that look like? Well, I went back and I checked my the
stuff email stuff we got from MSBA when Amy was helping us sell it and she did send you look back to the October of last year. She's got a little document on there about evaluation. So, if we can find that email again, um it was October
21st or something like that. I did find it online and I printed it out. So, if somebody needs it, I can send you that. I can copy you that on that email again so you can have it. But there was just a couple of sheets on there of just basic questions and it basically what it was was the three questions that we used
that we figured that was the top questions we were going to use for um you know the should I say the >> goals >> the goals exactly that we were you know wanting you to work toward this year.
So, she had those on there and um the little form that was with it. So, if anybody needs that later, let me know. I'll just find that email and forward to you guys. >> I don't see it on mine. >> I believe it was Octo Yeah, you might
have deleted it was October 20th, 21st. >> Yeah, I can send you and I check with her. She says she can try to that one too, but then I didn't find it. Okay. So, I'll get that to you guys and then we'll just um So, we just schedule
it right at the end of the meeting. >> Do you want it in August or September? >> In August. >> Yeah. Yeah. Just do it. Yeah. Okay, let's see.
6.4 is a public comment on board renewal. Well, we'll be getting that. Yes, we'll be getting that next time. >> So, 7.0 is business items. We've got that resolution to approve the plan for
um long-term facilities maintenance. And there's not a to that plan. >> Well, I went through all the >> because a lot of it is already earmarked for the the part that we used for the turf.
So, everything that's left left is like the the health and safety program. We're in the maintenance. >> Well, the roofing is all on a schedule. >> Yeah. And everything's new, >> right? >> We have to do roofs now. I mean even the
old part of the building has been >> okay the resolution itself it doesn't have yeah so does anybody Any have any questions on this? I guess I need to make a motion to accept that. Sorry.
