00:00:02.399 --> 00:00:20.240
Let's go. >> Amy, just testing one more time that you can hear. >> Yes. >> Okay, >> I can hear very well. Everybody hear me? >> Yes, we're good. >> Is there any way to test the >> Hi, everyone.

2
00:00:20.240 --> 00:00:40.800
>> It looks like it's working. >> Thank you. >> All right. >> All right. will call to order the 6:30 on April 22nd. We'll call to order the regular school board meeting. We'll start with the pledge of allegiance to the flag of the United States of

3
00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:58.719
America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> All right, we have roll call. We have five schoolboard members in person. We have one virtual. We have a whole mess

4
00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:14.880
of people in the audience which is good. Uh so yeah we'll I'll look for a motion to approve the meeting agenda. >> So move. >> Motion by D. >> Second. >> Second by Jill. >> We'll have to do everything by roll call because we have somebody virtual. So Scott >> I

5
00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:29.119
>> Dak >> I. >> Matt is I Jill. >> Hi. >> Ken. Hi. >> Amy. >> Hi. >> All right. 6 passes. Uh open forum. Do we have anybody here for open forum?

6
00:01:29.119 --> 00:01:46.560
All right. Uh, we'll move on to Mustang spirit recognition. >> Um, go ahead, Mr. Nelson. >> All right. We're going to have a little fun. So, before I show this off, we're going to see how smart you are. I

7
00:01:46.560 --> 00:02:34.160
pull that down. Pull that down. insurance. >> All right. Anybody? >> We got one. We got >> So, this is how it's going to work. >> Um, you all have a sheet upside down. >> We have possibly made history. >> We have a math team that went

8
00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:48.879
>> undefeated at five regular season competitions this year. >> First place, everyone. >> Uh, four of them here. There's a lot more that are part of the team. I want to see who can answer these questions

9
00:02:48.879 --> 00:03:21.519
first. The these folks or you. So, I'm going to say go. All you need to do is flip that over and do question number one. When you're done, >> yell. >> Ready, set, go. Done.

10
00:03:21.519 --> 00:03:39.120
>> All right, time's up. >> Let's see here. Anyone here want to close? Anyone want to guess? >> Yes. >> That's my answer. >> All right, so we have Tony, you were first, right? >> What's the answer? >> 11. >> Correct.

11
00:03:39.120 --> 00:04:30.400
>> All right, let's do one more. Let's do number two. Ready, set, go. Lared >> picked my favorite number, >> right? >> Yeah. I got that one. >> I don't know.

12
00:04:30.400 --> 00:04:54.160
>> I went to state. >> Did you? >> I did. >> Mostly hotels, but you know, I majored in economics. >> It's been a long I was a I was a music and theater kid. This is my

13
00:04:54.160 --> 00:05:33.360
most of them are too. >> They know how to multitask. We didn't back then. I honestly don't remember >> ever saying log. What does that mean? >> Logor I don't remember those either. >> I have a guess.

14
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:48.320
>> Yeah, we're open cuz we're kind of getting our butt. >> Amy, what's your answer? >> It's not. I don't know if it's true. That's right. -15. I don't know.

15
00:05:48.320 --> 00:06:17.120
>> Is it x^2 over 5 + 3? >> He's got to look. >> Got to photo map it quick. >> Right. So, >> who's right? Amy or >> here's the deals. Uh, these guys, we're really proud of them. four of them could make it tonight. Um, it's I'll I'll

16
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:34.000
announce the whole team here. Eleanor Carta, Jeremy Conungl, Paul Conungle, Maline Lobell, Dylan Revard, Jonah Rue, Nason Schultz, Rayan Schoberg, Gabriella Smith, Cozette Stenberg, Torston Stenberg, TA Van Hal, and Aaron Winger.

17
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:48.960
Went to state at South St. Paul High School, represented Mora in a great way. Again, we've never had a team this powerful, so really proud of you. Thanks for all your work. Mrs. Rolf is the leader, the teacher for this group. So, help yourself to the bell. Really proud

18
00:06:48.960 --> 00:07:13.599
of you guys. >> Thanks, Mr. Nelson. Thanks, students. Good >> job. >> Thank you. >> Um, I'd like to have Chris Jacobson. He's the uh director uh of the uh spring production and the fall production. Um, and I asked Mr. Jacobson to uh bring

19
00:07:13.599 --> 00:07:29.840
some of the cast of the um spring production of Mamma Mia. Uh, they did an awesome job. Uh, sold out pretty much every show. Um, how many students were involved in Mamame Mia? If

20
00:07:29.840 --> 00:07:46.000
I had to guess, it was 50ish. >> Yeah. And um all the people that I talked to that were at were just amazed at the level of performance and singing and and uh choreography and all that sort of thing. But uh do you want why

21
00:07:46.000 --> 00:08:02.000
don't you introduce yourself to the board and tell them what your role was and maybe how long you've been involved in >> I am Alice Anderson. I was Donna in Mamma Mia. Um I've been in theater since sixth grade. Yeah. Sorry.

22
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:18.160
>> My name is Ela Shereim. I was Sky and I've been in theater since last year. >> Wow. And you were one of the leads, right? Yeah. >> My name is Leia. I've been doing theater since I was a kid, but I just recently took it back up again. >> Nice. >> And I

23
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:33.839
My name is Kash. I've been doing theater since 9th grade. And I play Rosie. >> My name is Jonah Ru. I played Sam and I've been doing theater since seventh grade. >> Nice. Nice. Well, thank you very much for uh representing MORA and being

24
00:08:33.839 --> 00:08:51.040
involved here. We've got a little Mustang spirit bell for you. Thank you, Mr. Jacobson. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Who's graduating? You're >> okay. Nice. Well, thank you very much

25
00:08:51.040 --> 00:09:26.120
for representing Mora. Thanks, Chris. Any other Mustang spirits? >> You're welcome to leave, too. >> You're welcome to stay as well. >> Thank you. You want to spend more time with me? I think I'm okay. See you later. See you.

26
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:45.519
All right, we'll move on to the ECME presentation from Mark Johnson. >> All right, good evening. >> Evening. >> Good evening, >> Mr. Chair, members of the board, superintendent. Thanks for inviting me again to what's sort of becoming an annual uh update for you about uh your

27
00:09:45.519 --> 00:10:02.240
technology cooperative, which is ECME. Um, most of you have heard things about it, so I won't spend a lot of time. I'll try to be brief and sort of center on the things that Moore is doing, uh, that you might be interested in. Um,

28
00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:17.680
again, uh, if you go Yeah, there you go. The, um, founding member of ACME, which has been around since 1983,84 or 84, right around there. So, a long time. Um and but we now have 22 member

29
00:10:17.680 --> 00:10:35.200
districts. Uh and as of July 1st, >> uh when we add Becker as a full member, Becker has been an associate member, but they now our board just approved Becker joining as a full member uh for 2627, that'll bring us to 16 full member schools, two special education

30
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:51.600
cooperatives, and four associate members. Uh and the map that you see up there and that you have in your packet is kind of shows where all of those schools are mostly here in East Central Minnesota, but you'll see we're going up the freeway toward Alexandria uh as well because of another cooperative that

31
00:10:51.600 --> 00:11:08.079
disbanded and so that some of those schools had some needs that that were filling. Um we're technology. We do the things that you see up on on the the screen there. Um but in terms of those services, cyber security is a is important. uh that's become much more

32
00:11:08.079 --> 00:11:25.040
important in the last five to 10 years. Um and and MORA participates in most all of our cyber security services including cyber awareness training where uh staff and and even you as board members maybe if you're checking your email will get

33
00:11:25.040 --> 00:11:42.079
an occasional email that's a an attempt a fishing attempt to it's a training piece where if you click on the link you get a little bit of training to go along. If you don't, you get a yay, you found the you found the fishing email and you you just awareness, right? Cyber

34
00:11:42.079 --> 00:11:57.519
security awareness help you uh not fall victim to fishing because really that's the number one uh number one thing that causes a cyber security breach is a human uh intervention. Uh and so if we

35
00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:13.680
can stop that, that's we're going to stop a lot of those um cyber security incidents. Um you also participate in our password manager program to help uh everybody have strong passwords which is another uh ingress in terms of uh the

36
00:12:13.680 --> 00:12:30.399
bad actors getting access um and you've deployed a whole bunch of technical measures that I won't go into but uh that are part of our uh cyber security train here sorry part of our cyber security program as well. um firewall support. You you use you've used our

37
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:47.680
firewall for years and that's again another security piece uh as well as um just a uh a piece of hardware that a piece of hardware and service that everybody has and everybody needs. Um risk assessments we'll talk about in a minute. uh distance learning, ITV

38
00:12:47.680 --> 00:13:04.639
classes. Your students at Mora High School have the opportunity to participate in ASL, uh college psychology, and a number of our uh academy programs, which are Pine Tech and Community College programs, uh including IT Academy, business academy, and early childhood academy. So, those

39
00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:21.040
are all things that your students are able to do through the ITB program that we facilitate. Um the other other other things classroom technology your colleague collaboration um technology and profession teacher professional development uh you have

40
00:13:21.040 --> 00:13:36.959
folks attending our workshops and our conferences and doing all of those things as well. So that's another area that of services that you all are participating in uh in a big way. We'll go to the next one because this I just show you this because we want to know

41
00:13:36.959 --> 00:13:53.440
are we doing the right things to stay safe cyber security wise and this is your the graph of MORA's cyber security risk assessment uh progress through the years and if you look at the dark black line that's the trend line for the

42
00:13:53.440 --> 00:14:09.839
overall line and you can see that that's trending in the right direction um up is good in this case. Uh so you're getting better progressively over the years in all areas really of uh that we look at with those risk assessments and that's another um sign that you're doing the

43
00:14:09.839 --> 00:14:25.920
right things and that you're staying safe, right? You know, we're not going to Some of you probably heard about Spring Lake Park cancelling classes for a couple of days because of a cyber incident. Well, it's not that they didn't do all the right things that you know they were doing things too. Um but

44
00:14:25.920 --> 00:14:41.600
things happen. So, I can't ever promise you it's 100%. But I think you have the signs that you're doing the best things that you possibly can to reduce that risk. And that's what's important uh in that cyber security program. Um things I mentioned, Iv, and you have several

45
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:57.760
classes and your students have access to a number of classes uh that they probably otherwise wouldn't be able to have because you would need teachers in those particular areas with the certification to teach college classes in most cases to be able to do that. And that's really difficult in in this day

46
00:14:57.760 --> 00:15:14.399
to find those folks. Uh and then uh you have you know you don't have huge numbers in those. So finding it you know it's difficult right to have to support classes that have three four five six students in them. Um so we consider that a fairly high value service that we do.

47
00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:31.279
Um but we have others and one of those is our data center is a very high value service. uh and one that more participates and I wanted to show this slide or show these statistics just to kind of give you an idea of how we drive costs down. Okay, we have what's called a we have a data center at Pine Techch

48
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:46.160
Community College and we have what's called a virtual server infrastructure. I know some of you know what that is and some of you maybe don't. Um what that really is is it says if you have physical computer computers that runs particular services called servers,

49
00:15:46.160 --> 00:16:01.920
right? Um, it used to be you had those in-house. You you had a place in your building somewhere and you had those all there and your tech people had to care and feed, you know, get care for them and feed them and do all those kinds of things and keep them updated and everything and

50
00:16:01.920 --> 00:16:17.920
>> and you had to keep them up to date and you had to have licensing and you had to buy new ones every, you know, out of support. Um so every five years or so you'd have to replace them and it's just the cycle over and over again right so many many years ago

51
00:16:17.920 --> 00:16:32.720
we in our data center put in a virtual environment which means those servers we put in high >> powered equipment and then they run a whole bunch of virtual servers within that environment right and that's how that works um and that's very common and

52
00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:48.959
done all over the place uh now we put that in um for districts to consolidate and get rid of some of that hardware and that expens expense associated with it. It's expensive to do that. Um and and I'll tell you that we're doing an upgrade that we were somewhat forced

53
00:16:48.959 --> 00:17:05.039
into but also had to do for a number of reasons. Um and that it's a $725,000 program. And you think to me that's like I can't hardly bear spending that much money on anything. I know you all make decisions bigger than that and I don't know how you do that because it's like

54
00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:22.160
ah I get very nervous uh in in that sense. But that cost was actually driven up just in the last year by uh very high costs for chips. >> Um and some of you know about that and have seen that before and you're going to see that reflected in some of the things you have to buy too. Not just for

55
00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:38.960
the school but for yourself personally. Uh but a very expensive project, but we looked at the math on it and we said and then we had unfortunately our math students left because they would understand. But um >> a physical server that you keep in your building probably runs conservatively

56
00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:54.559
$5,000 a year uh over five years is about the lifespan of it because there's the cost of purchasing it, but there's also the cost of having it and having somebody who cares and feed cares for it and feeds it and does all of the things. And conservatively $5,000 a year is

57
00:17:54.559 --> 00:18:09.919
probably a good estimate for a server. 13 of them that are housed in our data center. >> Do the math. 13 $65,000 a year. >> Your cost of the membership is $28,000 a

58
00:18:09.919 --> 00:18:26.960
year in in ECE. So, and and that math works out for all of our districts. So we tried to show that just to say that's how we are consolidating those costs and trying to bring value to all of you. Um so our you know our data center upgrade we had to because of the cost of it we

59
00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:42.160
had to put I've never we've never done this before we had to put a search charge on it. So you'll pay $5,300 a year for 5 years for that data center upgrade but that's the cost of one server over that time and you've got 13 of them. So I think you know the math

60
00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:58.960
works out on that and it comes a very high value uh service that we do. We do a lot of things with that same kind of thing. Bring it all in spend money on what you know on what we have but spread that across 20 districts 22 districts it becomes very reasonable costwise.

61
00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:15.039
>> When when was the last time you had to do a major upgrade like this? >> Uh about four years ago. So we were hoping to go one more year about every five. >> Yep. Well, we'd have it very similar. Yeah. Yeah. And and we have to do that with our firewall. We have to do it with

62
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:31.840
a couple of other things too. And we kind of have those staggered, you know, over time to kind of keep that budget flat as possible. >> But that's about what it is. Life cycle of that is about five years. >> Sometimes we get a little more. >> Yeah. I was going to say and we we were able to access some fund balance.

63
00:19:31.840 --> 00:19:48.240
>> Yes. That Yep. We paid part of that data center upgrade through through our fund balance. Um that was healthy enough to be able to support that which is again a good use of that money as well to do a project like that. Yeah. And we utilize this is not an eligible uh service but

64
00:19:48.240 --> 00:20:03.280
like our firewall we utilize some - funding uh as well to help you know defay some of that cost as well too. So >> yep. Um some other things. Lake ECM again thank you to the Mo District. This will be your second year. Uh our 13th

65
00:20:03.280 --> 00:20:19.280
annual conference in August. Uh we'll be right here in Mora High School uh August 4th. Last year was a resounding success. It was great to have it here and everybody loved it and everything worked out really well. So good that we do it again. Well, we do a two-year we usually

66
00:20:19.280 --> 00:20:36.000
do a two-year cycle where we are. So next year we'll go somewhere else. We're not sure where yet, but always somewhere within the ECMC districts. Um, and we usually get 200 or so teachers and and other staff that come to the conference. You are all welcome. It's right here. So, you're all welcome to come and

67
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:50.720
attend and learn some things. Uh, we're going to have a pretty robust schedule this year. We're kind of expanding some of the things that we do. Um, but it's really about technology, teaching and technology, but a lot of it is. Obviously, we're going to have things on AI. We're going to

68
00:20:50.720 --> 00:21:07.120
have things on um you know those topics that are front front and center but we also have CU certification things for teachers uh that we offer as well along with a lot of other things as well. So we're excited to be back. Thank you for that. Um we do do professional

69
00:21:07.120 --> 00:21:23.440
development activities. One thing that we do is we take a a group of teachers or staff from our member districts to a national conference and it's called ISD, the International Society for Technology and Education. It's a very very large national conference. Um and it's always

70
00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:40.400
good to give some of uh the teachers a a taste of that. Um they usually come back with their brains extremely full overflowing. Uh but we have a requirement of those folks that they actually do a presentation at Lake Emeck so that they you know share experience that they've had and we encourage them

71
00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:56.400
to do that in their own districts as well and I know many of them do that and you've had people attend that before. Uh Deb Brcell this year is going to join a group of nine uh folks that are traveling to Orlando at the end of June for the IST conference this year. So you do have a participant uh in that as

72
00:21:56.400 --> 00:22:11.760
well. And that's where I'm going to end. So I probably took more time than I should have, but uh but I wanted to let you know the things that your district is doing and how it's uh affecting hopefully affecting you in a positive way. So that's all I've got. Any

73
00:22:11.760 --> 00:22:27.360
questions? I'm happy to answer them. No, thank you. >> Thank you. Appreciate it. >> Yeah. Thank you. >> All right. We'll move on to more athletics and activities presentation by Okay. >> Charger Brad.

74
00:22:27.360 --> 00:22:45.200
Thanks, Chris. >> All right. Um, first slide, just kind of an overview of what I'm going to talk about. So, Kelly, you can kind of move on here. Want to start off by just kind of showing you the participation numbers we had last year for this year. um they've increased slightly and these are

75
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:59.679
registered activities so um doesn't include clubs and things of that nature on on the top. Um the bottom left hand corner um the average student that registers for one athletic

76
00:22:59.679 --> 00:23:15.919
or activity registers for 2.14. So it's not our student body, but at least they're someone who does one does over two. And the one on the right, lower right is um our kids that come out for sports. The average person that

77
00:23:15.919 --> 00:23:31.200
plays one at our school actually registers for 2.23. So um all of our coaches do a good job of encouraging our multiport athletes. Um I don't know at a school our size with the amount of activities that we have that we'd be

78
00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:47.200
anywhere near successful if they didn't. So appreciate that. Uh next slide has to do with GPA. You guys probably know this already, but um we talk about this from time to time, but kids that are involved usually do better in school. I know Brett talks

79
00:23:47.200 --> 00:24:01.039
about it in his seventh grade orientation to try to get kids involved in things. So the top bar is our kids who are registered in at least one sport or activity in our school. Their GPA is

80
00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:17.360
3 3.34 on average. And the athletics uh 7 through 12 was the exact same. So, our whole student body, including athletes and everyone else, the average GPA is 3.08. And that was a 712, not a I didn't

81
00:24:17.360 --> 00:24:34.640
break down the 912 one. The right hand side there, a participation overview. This is a little higher than I thought it was going to be. Um, our students in grades 7 through 12 that are involved in athletics and activities is 66% of the kids. So, um, it's something I have to report

82
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:50.640
to the state as far as our 9 through 12 kids. So, I'll have to break that down at the end of the year. And then our participation by our student body in athletics, 7th through 12 is 58%. So, our seventh and eighth graders really help it out because as kids get older

83
00:24:50.640 --> 00:25:05.760
and get jobs and life happens and whatever else, um, we end up losing some of them. I just wanted to kind of remind you guys on that. Oh, you can go ahead, Kelly. on the next slide there of just some of the things that our student athletes and our kids involved in

84
00:25:05.760 --> 00:25:22.880
activities take away from them besides learning how to swing a bat or throw a ball or something else like they're working on some skills that they're going to be able to take into the future. Um and they're very employable skills. Um so I just wanted to put a couple reminders out there

85
00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:38.640
thing other things that we're working on, you know, throughout. So, I think they're very, um, we look for them when we're hiring. We look for them when, you know, people that are successful have a lot of these things. So, um, our coaches do a good job of holding

86
00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:54.320
kids accountable and dealing with kids and trying to fight through some resilience and working on leaderships and them being adaptable to change and all of those things. So, go ahead, Kelly. Um, one of the things that came out of the communications uh, meeting is it wanted me to put out

87
00:25:54.320 --> 00:26:10.559
an activities kind of a quarterly newsletter. I chose to do it before things start. So, there was one that went out before this spring. Uh, that had to do with um preseason meeting information, when does practice start, how who's the coach I should contact,

88
00:26:10.559 --> 00:26:26.159
um, where can I register? Where can I find the schedule? Any streaming information would probably be for like fall and winter for the most part because there's not a whole lot streamed in the spring. And then any ticketing information. So, and I just put an

89
00:26:26.159 --> 00:26:42.320
example of what it looked like on the right. The one for summer might be a little different. I'll talk about that in a minute. Some of you have been around the building. Um, just some I wanted to note some improvements. Wellia wanted to do something as far as

90
00:26:42.320 --> 00:26:57.919
branding went. And I like it because we can't see directly into the hallway where kids are walking back and forth. We can see out, but they can't see in. I mean, you can if you get right up next to it and whatever else, but it's kind of nice. Looks nice. Uh team banners, one up in the hallway. We have a little different way that we're going to look

91
00:26:57.919 --> 00:27:13.039
at doing them in the future. Might cost us a little more on the front end, but it's going to be a lot cheaper to replace them year after year. So, I think it looks nice. Some of the bare walls are gone. Um, in the concession area, Duke helped me set up uh something for the concession stand that's there on

92
00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:30.559
the right. And part of the signage was the athletic facilities map because probably get asked 100 times a night where the bathrooms are. So, the signage really helped um when people show up for our large events that use court 5 and six, it's really nice to kind of say

93
00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:46.880
we're here, you're going through the through the wellness center, whatever else. So, that's been kind of nice for our larger events. Uh the booster club put up a donations wall. Um they wanted to put something up to help show the public or their donors

94
00:27:46.880 --> 00:28:02.320
what it is that some of the larger purchases that they're making help make possible at school. So these will all rotate out. Those are just magnetized frames. So they'll change them out and keep the most recent ones um in there. they thought it would help with the

95
00:28:02.320 --> 00:28:18.880
donations as far as people people knowing here's what the money they've donated is going towards. So that's right outside of the gym. Uh in the gym on the right there you'll see that's been up for a little while that Joe Lutz memorial scholarship. Um

96
00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:35.360
I just wanted to show you guys the last couple years what that's taken care of as far as um registration stuff. So, a little bit less this last year than it was two years ago. This one, this year is not done yet because we

97
00:28:35.360 --> 00:28:52.080
still have kids that are trying to finalize registration and usually some of the kids that go in towards the end are the ones we're struggling to get registered. So, um they end up being some scholarship kids that we're trying to get in. So, and then I put the cap scholarships on the right. They usually help with uh things like kids that want

98
00:28:52.080 --> 00:29:09.679
to be in productions, um art club, things like that. they help uh take care of some of those scholarships. So, some of the monies that where where the scholarship money comes from and we don't just eat it as a school. So, it's been able to cover all of our scholarships and that's our goal. Um the

99
00:29:09.679 --> 00:29:25.440
Joe Lutz one, I don't know if I talked about this previously. I'm trying to think back. I don't know if I did. the money that came in from the family and the donations that came in from the public went to the booster club and the booster club um invested the money and

100
00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:41.520
so their hope is after this year that every year the interest of it will take care of all the scholarships. So we're getting pretty close. Uh we had a head coaches meeting in uh March on a partial staff development and then

101
00:29:41.520 --> 00:29:57.360
workday. Um we met during the lunch. We talked about a couple of things that are up here. One was the weight room improvement, and I'll talk about that on the next slide. Um, we talked about summer speed and strength. Um, being that uh last the last two years hadn't

102
00:29:57.360 --> 00:30:14.799
been great. So, what can we do as a coaching staff to get kids through the door? We have a great facility. U, we have a great uh individual that's running it. She's new to our district. She comes from a strength and conditioning background. She ran Monaceel Speed and Strength the last couple years. Um, so we have some

103
00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:30.880
things, let's utilize it. So I told the coaches like, I need you to do more than just send out a link to the kids. I need you to tell the kids and the parents why it's important. So we talked about what's happened in the past and why it was successful. So um, we talked about summer sports planning.

104
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:47.200
This is where it's important for our multiports athletes that we allow kids that want to do things to do all of them without any overlaps. We don't want kids deciding should I go to volleyball today or basketball or football or hockey. So we all kind of we I talked to all the

105
00:30:47.200 --> 00:31:03.279
coaches and they laid out when they would like to do it. Some of them shifted a little bit of time so kids would have time to get to from here to there and everything was run after speed and strength so nothing overlapped. Uh the one thing that I think did start early in the morning is Nordic skiing

106
00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:18.880
and they're actually going to come in for the last group. So they'll just do things in reverse order of everybody else. So I think it's a pretty good plan. Uh evenings are a little different because softball and baseball and everything else like who knows dealing with weather. So um and then I'll talk

107
00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:35.840
about bound a little bit in a couple more slides. Um the weight room group that I talked about. So we had a group of coaches that sat down. We talked about what are our wants and what are our needs uh in the weight room. Um,

108
00:31:35.840 --> 00:31:52.159
the money that we came up with was from the general account of the booster club, the coach's sub accounts in the booster club, and then school. So, each of them contributed $5,000. So, we have $15,000 to deal with. We're able to

109
00:31:52.159 --> 00:32:07.840
purchase everything that's listed there on the right. Um, it they'd like to do this look, take a look at this on an annual basis. It might not be that dollar amount, but what else can we do? What's broken? What needs to be fixed? Um, what else are we seeing as a need up

110
00:32:07.840 --> 00:32:25.200
there? So, um, we brought that back at the head coaches meeting, said, "Here's what we're looking at doing. Does anyone have anything else they would like to add to this list or whatever else?" Everybody was pretty much on board. So, um, I thought that was pretty successful.

111
00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:41.679
The switch to bound. This has uh occupied a lot of my time lately. Um, if I'll tell you anything right now, if you have a kid in the school, download the app and we'll use it starting this summer. So, as soon as May rolls around and I'll get to that. Go ahead, Kelly.

112
00:32:41.679 --> 00:32:58.080
So, one of the reasons for the switch is almost 80% of the state is moving. So, it's how we share contracts between schools. Um, but not only that, it's how we schedule facilities. It's how we do online registration. Um it's how we do community ed

113
00:32:58.080 --> 00:33:12.880
registration. Um but there's a lot of other ent a lot of other things built into it that are really nice that we don't have to go back and do. So like if you're looking at the screen right now like we used to use our schools was bought out. So that's for like contracts fundraising.

114
00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:29.519
Our teams use snap raise right now. You might probably got a text message or an email or something from an athlete. That's where it's coming from. Bound has their own version of it. Um they don't have a timeline that you have to run it in. So you can leave it open all year if you wanted to, not send messages all

115
00:33:29.519 --> 00:33:44.399
year, but um and they take less of the profit than uh snap raise and some of those other ones take. Um results will be on there as well as a state high school league. A lot of our coaches use Remind. The nice part about bound is

116
00:33:44.399 --> 00:34:00.720
when you register your child for something, you'll autom you and them will automatically go into their built-in messaging system. Um, which will basically replace after each season

117
00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:16.560
started. So, coaches will plan on using Remind until after everyone's registered and then they'll make the switch. So, that will kind of go away. That's built in. Some of the social media stuff we used to use Gipper. Um that's just things that end up online. Registration

118
00:34:16.560 --> 00:34:32.639
it has uh we'll make a change with ticketing as well. Um officials, we're not quite there yet across the state. And then you might get some stuff once in a while like signup genius. It's built into it. So I know my wife asks

119
00:34:32.639 --> 00:34:48.079
all the volleyball players, hey, can you come work at youth volleyball? I need this many people to work on Saturday. So that can all be done inside of the app and not sending emails and so I think it's going to be great. I think it's going to be really good, but um there's quite a bit of setup that needs to

120
00:34:48.079 --> 00:35:04.000
happen. Go ahead, Kelly. Um and this just kind of shows everything that this is one of their sales pitches. So I just thought I'd throw it on there, show you all what it does, but can you click on the bottom link for me real quick, Kelly? What we've been working on lately is I want to get people familiar with

121
00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:21.839
everything inbound. So, we put all of our summer camps on there. Um, our arbiter stuff will run out the end of June and we still will have kids that aren't registered for stuff yet. So, we thought this will be a nice way to incorporate like using bound to register

122
00:35:21.839 --> 00:35:37.839
them for camps or leagues or whatever else. This is just a little preview. Nothing's open yet. Um, I still have a lot of stuff to put on there. So, there's a long list, but there's quite a bit more that needs to go on there. Our coaches stay pretty busy during the summer. So, um, some of

123
00:35:37.839 --> 00:35:53.680
the things that we listed on there, there's not a price for them. So, it's just information. So, uh, Kelly, will you go to the very top and just click on view details for summer Nordic training? Like, it will just tell you the dates,

124
00:35:53.680 --> 00:36:10.400
give a short description um, of the dates it's going to run, what you need to bring, something like a coach would send home with the kids. Anyway, my plan is to send this out via Thrillshare that just says, "Hey, here's all the registration stuff for summer." So, the

125
00:36:10.400 --> 00:36:25.359
nice part about bound is if we have coaches that run things through the booster club, the money I can choose where I want it to go. So, if they run stuff through the boo booster club rather than community, that money gets deposited directly in the booster club. Stuff that's run through community gets

126
00:36:25.359 --> 00:36:41.520
deposited in school. It has not to flow through us or anything else. It's so that'll be great. Um, see what I forget. Try to go fast. Um, you guys have any questions?

127
00:36:41.520 --> 00:36:56.880
>> Sounds like a great thing. I like it. >> As a parent of athletes, I like this. >> Yeah. Well, it Yeah, don't have five apps where it like we use we use a login for >> everything. So, like the other nice thing about the messaging is when you

128
00:36:56.880 --> 00:37:13.520
enroll them, you're also going to be a part of the team. So, you're going to see the schedule immediately. So, right now I'm trying to train the coaches into putting their practices in. So, they'll see the game schedule, the practice schedule, where it's going to be, what time it's going to be. So, um the other nice part is in the office we're able to

129
00:37:13.520 --> 00:37:29.680
see everything. So when parents call once in a while, if I'm not on a coach's Remind, I don't know if there's a change, you know, if they made a change to something, this will um be built in. But summer camps even have a messaging system. I don't know how much

130
00:37:29.680 --> 00:37:46.079
they utilize because they'll probably utilize your mind up until then, but they can monkey around with it and see how it works. So >> all right, >> just just one comment. I I love that the senior test or the senior onetime fee that pass that you've yeah >> initiated in the past what four years or

131
00:37:46.079 --> 00:38:00.880
whatever. It's cool seeing a lot of people who normally wouldn't be at events there because they paid the onetime fee and they're at everything. It doesn't matter if it's wrestling, basketball, football. >> I think it's awesome. I some of the places we go they just say seniors are free. >> Yeah.

132
00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:17.359
>> I just I like that we're taking care of our our seniors. Um the tough part is when we have uh like reserved seating, >> right? >> This be a little bit of a problem, but deal with it. It's that only happens for three events in the or excuse me, six

133
00:38:17.359 --> 00:38:32.240
events in the fall and three in the spring, right? >> Usually. So, >> but it's just cool like you just see people who normally wouldn't >> get some socializing, get some out and about. >> Yep. Good. So, all right. Thank you.

134
00:38:32.240 --> 00:49:51.280
>> All right. We'll move on. Uh more fast forward. 30 are going. Excellent academic. I'm just action. Bring your attention to this. normal.

135
00:49:51.280 --> 00:58:36.200
Um but again a lot of All right. So, two also want to see a building. have any I hope so. Good luck. right before this meeting. >> We're super excited to like that area.
