>> Haven't got your voice down [laughter] yet. Sorry. >> All good. Any questions or comments? All those in favor? Unanimous. Okay. Moving on to agreements. Okay. Head Startou. This is a a standard
annual memorandum of understanding with Cooko Head Start who runs our pre preschool program. You will um take note back on [clears throat] page four there um
the rates for using our building. We did uh Miss Henert, Mrs. Sheets and I, we took a look at those and we we did bring those up to date. Now, with that said, it's not really going to generate a lot of revenue. These are uh as you see
above that in bold, um these are inind dollar amounts. So, outside of that, this is a nothing else has changed. This is just aou
in that partnership. [clears throat] >> Thank you, Mr. McCormack. Um, at this time I would entertain a motion to accept the Head Startou as presented. >> So move. >> Justice. >> Second. >> Second.
>> Thank you. Any other discussion? All those in favor unanimous. >> Um, letter B, the NCIA operating under PCS guidelines renewal
with Mrs. Smith uh taking over the NCIA as person in charge. You know, you'll see her name on page two. There were some um light updates to that effect of outside

>> Justice second. >> Second. Thank you. Any other questions? All those in favor? It is unanimous. >> Letter C under agreements, the CACFP agreement with St. John's Lutheran
Daycare. I'll turn the floor over to Miss Inert to give a brief overview there and any changes that might um have taken place. >> This is an agreement to provide uh lunch meals to their daycare. Nothing has changed from last year other than we did
increase it by 25 cents per meal due to the cost increase in cost of food and uh gas because we deliver those meals. Other than that everything is the same. >> Thank you Miss inert. Um this time I would entertain a motion to accept the
agreement as presented. >> Mr. >> Justice thank you. Second >> second >> Mr. Connor. Thank you. Any questions or comments? All those in favor? Opposed? And I will abstain from
that one. Thank you. Motion passes. Next up, we have under business. Okay. We have um a series of 12 just annual different types of renewals.
um number one 220 youth leadership uh subscription for uh online work-based learning primarily uh two read naturally uh reading
intervention for Blair Point three Waterford Early Learning at Elmwood four Pebblego uh another curriculum piece five curriculum associates this is a final one-year renewal for math.
Six, Frog Street, that's a prek curriculum piece. Seven, Delio web filter. Eight, Alex digital subscriptions for highability classes. Nine, class link. It's an annual license. 10, Alexandria Software,
library software for the junior senior high, Blair Point, and Elmwood. 11, Amplify Dibbles. Uh, this is used at Elmwood. and 12 A Toz license, RAZ plus license. If anyone has any questions
on any of those, the principles are all here and would be happy to answer any questions. >> This is all digital curriculum. >> Not by and large, yes. Some of it isn't
isn't all curriculum. principal any any do you want to provide any narrative on anything in particular? >> Well, I can provide narrative on a lot of the curricular stuff if you have particular questions. There are some of these for
instance class link um Alexandria and Delo that are more um soft like instructional software like Delado. It monitors um the content that kids are looking at and what they're entering. And then it also allows teachers to um monitor
what's on student screen. So that's more of a tech piece. Um class link is what we use to integrate all of our things. So that's also more of a tech piece. And then the Alexandria software is what houses all of our library system.
Everything else is related to curriculum in some way, shape or form. Um but some of them are intervention pieces, others are like the current field associates. We've got one by the end of this year we should be making a recommendation for
six year math adoption and elementary needs their math resources until we hit at that point. Um, Alex is a digital subscription um that we've used to supplement math. That's high ability, but in the past
we've also used it at the junior high level with general ed um classes. We've decided not to use Alex at the junior high, which cuts that cost in half of what it was. Um, or the next item we'll
be recommending we replace it with, but that comes with a cost savings. Um, Pebble Go is really the big piece we use for L1 SC science and social studies. >> Do you have any particular question
which is digital? It generates materials that teachers copy off and can use hands, you know, paper pencil. Same with Frog Street. That's Miss Maxwell and that's preschool, but that's not on computers for those little friends. It's delivered to her digitally and then she
can make it what she needs. And the a toz licenses um for use with flare point is the same deal. It's really for the reading specialist and they can turn off materials that can be used against all the students. >> Okay. So more teacher resource >> I got you. Thank you.
>> Delivered on the child's computer. That's not all. >> Appreciate you. I'll make a motion to accept the recommendation. >> Thank you, Miss Justice. >> Second, Mr. Fuller. Any other questions or
comments, concerns? All those in favor? >> Unanimous. >> The next letter B uh is Get More Math quote. [clears throat] Um this is a action to approve a one-year quote for Get More Math digital subscription for
seventh and eighth grade students. Uh Mrs. Shurik, do you want to provide a a little narrative on that? that does provide extra practice for junior high math students that allows for spiral review and it's can be individualized to
specific kids. It is what we're recommending as an alternate to Alex. It does save a couple thousand dollars. Um we utilize some of our teachers utilized a free trial last year and found it very user friendly and thought that they
would get more bang for our buck using that instead of Alex with the general I I would add to that through all of these annual subscriptions and different [clears throat] products. Uh I've been very pleased and appreciative of the principles and
others, Mr. PCL like through our cost savings meetings, we've cut some things. Ah, we're not going to use this anymore or we're going to use this but we don't need it at these two grade levels. So um they would
call vendors, can you can you come down on price and and uh so there was a lot a lot of work done and kind of recalibrating and um evaluating and assessing what we truly need or don't need. And kind of what Mrs. Shurik
indicated, there are still some lingering things that will go away in the next year or so. we're we're just don't have a replacement for them or they're on a contract that we can't get out of or don't want to get out of quite yet. So, a lot of thought put into
these. Okay. Thank you. At this time, I will entertain a motion to uh accept the Gatemore math quote as presented. >> So, move a second. >> Second, thank you. Any other
questions or comments? All those in favor it is unan. >> The next item is UFli Foundations quote. This is an action to approve the purchase of UFli Literacy Foundation manuals for first and second grade teachers to support [clears throat]
phonics. Um Mrs. Eddie, do you want to offer anything on that? This just expands a support that is uh placed right now with our kindergarten assistants who use this uh from the University of Florida as a remediational
piece. So we're expanding that as next year our reading specialists Mrs. Matthews and Mrs. Hub will be pushing in to classrooms while we're under construction. Um and so with that they'll be training teachers and teachers themselves will be able to pick up this remediation piece as well. Can I
add a little bit about that? >> Um, it is something that there is alignment available for what is offered phonics wise blenders. We do have a lot of kids that struggle with phonics instruction and awareness. So, this
provides some additional resources teachers can use with students and it's the same philosophy as Orton Gillingham. I don't know if any of you have heard it, but it's based on the science of reading. Um, it's been highly rated and very effective.
>> Thank you. >> Uh, we'll entertain a motion to accept the UFI [clears throat] foundation quote >> as presented. Thank you, M. Justice. >> Second. >> Second. >> Thank you. Any discussion?
All those in favor? It is unanimous. Moving on to letter D, the rural and low income school grant. This is a technology purchase um using this grant. And if I could u Miss Inert, are you in a position to kind of explain
how that came about? Give a brief overview. >> Yeah. Um RLIS, that's the acronym for it. Um we [clears throat] stopped getting that grant for a while and then it came back out. Well, it came back out in a time when we were
switching around personnel and it was overlooked that particular year. Um, Mrs. Miss Maxwell, Jamie Maxwell over at the high school, she wanted the [clears throat] sports programming. She had reached out to the state to find out if there were any revenue streams and they came back
and said, "Well, you have this grant that is expiring here in September that is eligible to be used for it." So after uh right at the tail end of the school year, we all started I worked with Mrs. Shurik and and Jamie and um we got
together and they gave me some things for esports, some things for art and then we realized there's still quite a sum of money here. So then I went to Mr. Pal and said, "Is there anything you need because I need to spend this, you know, by this September." And that's
where he's like, "Yeah, I need a classroom of PLCW computers, brand new ones." Um, and we were trying to find money and I sent this off to the state after writing it and they came back and they approved by the state an entire new classroom of
PLTW computers, cameras, tablets for the art department and then everything that esports had sent in and requested, which is high-end computers to get that that group up and going. So, because of the
sizable um cost of these purchases, we felt it was still good to bring it here even though states approved it. Uh get your guys' approval as well, just to make sure that we're above board for audits. >> Thank you, Miss
I'll entertain a motion to accept the as presented. >> So moved. >> Justice, thank you. Second. >> Second. >> Thank you. Any other questions, comments? All those in favor? It is unanimous.
>> Letter E is a approved sale of real property resolution. Uh [clears throat] this is just as we prepare to sell this building, central office, and our east side maintenance building. And those addresses are on the top of that resolution. Uh this
resolution just um gives me the district the authority to move forward with the process of of selling uh those two properties. Um I'll entertain a motion to approve the recommendation as presented. >> So move
second. >> Second Mr. Hoover questions. All those in favor is unanimous. Uh, next up we have donations. Looks like we have $50 to the high school athletics for general use for Mr.
Kemple, a longtime teacher here. Um, I would entertain a motion to accept that donation. >> So moved. >> Just a second. >> Second. >> Any questions? All those in favor? Um, next up under personnel,
um, you see a list before you, um, I would entertain a motion to accept one through 15 or any, if you want to withdraw one, that would be fine, too. >> Motion to accept 1 through 15. >> Thank you, Miss Justice.
Second. Second, Mr. Hoover. Any questions or comments on one through 15? All those in favor? Opposed? It's 51. Thank you. Motion passes 51.
Um, next up, recommendation for classified positions. I will do it the same way. Um, I would entertain a motion to accept one through four as presented. >> So moved. >> Second.
Second. Thank you. Questions, comments? All those in favor? Oppose? Okay. I kind of missed your comment thing there, but um same as with the last few
months, I'm not abstaining or being I'm not voting against this because I don't think they deserve the pay. I am not going to pick and choose who gets compensated for extras when there's so many people doing more
for less right now. >> Thank you, M. Justice. Okay, moving on uh to see recommendation for certified positions. I would entertain a motion to accept one and
three through six as presented. >> Uh I will move to accept one three through six. >> Thank you, Miss Justice. Second. >> Second, >> M. Thank you. questions,
comments, question. All in favor? I got you did not. [laughter] It is unanimous. Thank you. Um, at this time, I would entertain a motion to accept number two. >> Motion to accept two. >> Second.
>> Second. >> Mr. Con, is that you? >> Yeah. All those in favor? Oh, wait a minute. [laughter] >> Opposed and I will stay for all these reasons. >> Um, under recommendation for
extracurricular positions. Um, I would entertain a motion to accept one through nine as presented. >> So, [clears throat] second, sorry. [laughter] >> My bad.
Justice one second. Um, any questions or comments on those? Um, all those in favor? 6. I would make a motion to table number
10. >> Second. >> Do we need a second for that? >> I made the motion. Um, all those in favor of tableabling number 10. Thank you. [clears throat] >> We just want to do a little more work on
that. Um, under E, recommendation for student intern. I would entertain a motion to accept that recommendation as presented. >> So moved. >> Justice. Second. >> Second. >> Um, Mr. First of all, do you um want to
add anything on this candidate? >> No, it's just another Purdue uh Cooko student majoring in IT and he needs 240 hours and it's been a really good setup where we've had that and uh they work right alongside Isaac at the junior senior high because he needs some help.
So, it's the the first two have worked out really well so far. >> Thank you. >> We have background checks on them. >> Yes. Yeah. >> Awesome. We have a first and a second. Um, do we have any other questions? All those in favor? It is unanimous.
Next up, under attendance and study success director gap contract. Do you want >> I'm going to turn the floor over to Miss Inor to kind of explain that um this this gap contract. So, so um Artton's student success director had a contract
from June to July and she is now transitioning to a teaching contract that starts in August. And she needed to be able to do work in July to get prepared for her attendance and student success position. So, we needed to a
little bit of a gap contract there to pay her for the work that she is actively doing right now. Excellent. >> Thank you. I would entertain a motion to accept that recommendation as presented. >> So moved. >> Just a second.
>> Second. >> Fuller. Thank you. >> I wanted to fight over there. [laughter] >> I want no parts that might entertain. [laughter] Do we have any other comments or questions? >> If none, all those in favor? It is
unanimous. Thank you. Uh, next up we're going to skip over board member com committee reports until the end. We'll go to budget. Um, Miss a copy of the claims before you and yes,
they look different. We have successfully transitioned over to voice over the last this summer and this is the result of it. You have a newborn socket which was questioned. >> It is fantastic. >> It It looks a lot cleaner. I'm very happy with that. [laughter]
>> Magnifying >> easier to read. >> I don't have Yeah, I don't have to wonder what that means. >> And and at the at the end, if you hadn't noticed, you actually get a buy fund how much we're spending out of each. >> I did notice that. I didn't. >> So, this this is a lot nicer than what
we were able to produce out of our prior system. So, I hope you guys enjoy it. And then if you have questions always feel free to ask. >> Sure. I would entertain a motion to accept the claims as presented. >> So moved. >> Miss second. >> Second.
Thank you. Does anybody have any questions over those claims? >> Just quick side note, how's the finest department in general and all the secretaries like voice so far? >> There's a learning curve. >> Fair [clears throat] enough. >> It's very different from what we're used
to. So just getting a wrapped our minds wrapped around that has been probably our biggest struggle. >> Do you see it getting easier >> as with everything as you're in it using it daily and learning the program it gets easier? >> I would add too that voice their rep
Spencer. >> Spencer. Yes. >> I mean he comes here on site how many days a week? >> As needed right now because we have 14 on-site days with him. So if we're not if he's not on site, he's right there at
at a call or an email for us for sure. >> He's been very attentive to our staff's needs and would you say it's been overall a good thing? >> Yes. >> Good to hear. Excellent. Any other questions?
All those in favor? >> It is unanimous. Moving on to the fund monitoring report. Miss, that is you as well. >> All right. our education fund. We've collected about 55% of our budget for the year and we've only spent about 50%. So, we're doing good with some of those
cost-saving things. Salaries and benefits are still remaining our largest as we are working towards staying to that 65% goal. Um, our debt service, as you can see, there is some activity last month. We got our property taxes and
then we spent them right back out for our debt service payments. We fully made our payments. So, we are ecstatic about that. Um, our operation fund, again, you see we have a a nice sizable up there for property taxes was more this year than it was last year with the AV
changes. Um, we've collected about 57% of our budget for the year and we've only spent just over 41%. Again, that is uh you're seeing some of those cost savings that we've been putting in place over the last several months coming through. Um salaries and utilities as
normal are still remain the the largest expenses there. We've had no activity in our rainy day fund. Our 2024 bond, we've had no activity in that for this last month. They are I've been talking with Skilman. They're working on some final
payoffs and some final uh last last bit of uh construction things. So, we should be getting another bill for that here soon and wrapping that bond up. our 25 bond. Um you see a lot of the preliminary expenses being put out. Um
bills are starting to come in for projects as we are finishing them. And then here this month and next month as projects begin, you'll start seeing a ramp up there of our expenses as we start getting payouts coming for that.
Then our food service um we have a positive balance there and our summer program is going well. I I'm happy with how food service is going. Are there any questions?
>> I make to accept the fund monitoring report as presented. >> M just a second. >> Second. Thank you. If there are no questions or comments, um, all those in favor
is unanimous. Thank you. U, next up, we have a resolution to transfer funds. Whose handles are you? >> U, I'll turn the floor over to Miss uh, Inert uh, to explain this resolution [clears throat] >> with several things that came out of
SEA1. Um, there is an impact now where the supplemental homestead credit starting next year will fully affect our operations budget. The state gave us a m a a way to absorb a little bit of that
this year through splitting the cost of it with our debt service. So that's what this is. This is saying we would like to transfer this amount of money from our debt service over to our operations to help lessen
the impact for this year. Um, and this amount will be split up into two two transfers with each property tax. Schools across the state are doing this in order to absorb some of these losses that we are feeling this year. >> Thank you, Mr.
>> I would entertain a motion to accept the resolution to transfer funds as presented. >> Some move second. Thank you. Are there any questions? All those in favor? Opposed?
Okay. Motion passes. Um, let's back up to do we have any uh board member committee recordings? >> Nothing at this time. >> Nothing at this time. parks for next meeting on August [clears throat] 20th.
>> Okay. Anyone else? >> Okay. >> Excellent. >> Next meeting in September. >> Okay. And remember, we will move on to back over to superintendent comments. Mr. uh just want [clears throat] to thank everyone for their work and
efforts over the summer, whether it was u the crew we had cutting down the trees on the west end of this building. Um Dr. Gorto about how many people do we have working the surface fair booth for

I think the last couple months. So that's all I have. >> Thank you, Mr. Poric. Uh board member comments. >> Um I for one have noticed the the changes in the community just driving around seeing the things that are it's the small things. I've always been a it's a little things type of person and
those things are starting to get lots of notice and uh so I appreciate all involved u with that. Um thank you guys for working working your tails off. Um, I know that the tree removal out there was no small project. So, um, thank you
to all those involved as well. Anyone else? >> I would entertain a motion to adjurnn. >> So move. Thank you.
