Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Any additions or deletions to the agenda? >> There is an item to add under personnel. Put it on your uh sheets under D to
approve the contract for Rachel Johnson, director of teaching and learning with an action item. >> That's the only addition or deletion. Oh yes, please silence yourself that part. Uh then can I get a motion to accept the agenda with the
addition? >> We'll make that motion. >> Second. >> Any questions or comments? All right, we'll start this direction. >> Hey,
Bridget, you got a vote. I I >> thank you. >> It's an action. >> Uh visitor comments. >> It's just a thick room. >> It's very very heavy in the chair department. >> All right. >> We got nice chairs out there today.
>> They should have came >> right. Uh considering the consent agenda, we have the minutes of the previous monthly board meeting. The monthly cash flow including investments, monthly bills paid, monthly bills paid in activities, accounts, donations, which
>> we're none. >> Okay. >> And then the personnel summary sheet. Can I get a motion to accept the consent agenda as presented? >> I'll second. >> Any questions or comments?
Okay. >> I I >> I >> I >> I motion passes. >> All right. Special board reports with possible action. We're going to start with facilities today. >> We did not meet, but I do have a couple
things uh just to share. Um, we did get approval from the the um Minnesota Department of Lab on the review and comment of our weight room project. And um I'll have a couple other
things to add after that. But one of the things uh that we were supposed to do is to have a chance for public to have any input on that which we added to the agenda. So >> looks like we don't have any input there. So, um, other than that, um, the
one piece I did meet with Robert today, Brian and I did, and we're going to set up, um, some meetings with the facility committee, uh, coming up every couple weeks moving forward. And then we also will be meeting, uh, the user group. Uh,
we'll start, uh, some people to choose to be on that user group to help us with that piece as well. Um, we'll probably have a couple different I think one of the aspects we'll do is the user group will be kind of geared more towards the
weight room and then the multi-purpose room and that will have coaches and and um other people on that as well. Then we'll have a separate one just for the music room for the choir room because that is a little bit different. >> If you have music reps, they don't need to they don't probably want to sit in on
the wait room. And so we'll do two different types of user groups. So we're going to bring that up tomorrow and then at the admin meeting and then we'll reach out for people who want to be on that uh committee. Probably some FIAD reps um coaches >> and a lot of sports people aren't as
into what it means for the acoustics and choir. >> Right. Exactly. So that's why we thought it'd be separate to do more the problem than the other direction. Um, so with that, the other piece that I asked from I sent Brian and Cassandra a text today,
you have a packet there of of the latest of the project. And one of the things Ryan asked was just to maybe provide some feedback for him at their next facility committee meeting as to look at the exterior design of those three
examples that he gave us, things that you maybe like about them. some direction for maybe when the committee meets um to go with him in a couple weeks to say, you know what, these are things we'd like. For example, do you like the curved look to go with the
other buildings? Do you like more of the glass versus not? So, those are things that Ryan would or I'm sorry, um Robert would like to know. So, then he can design more options with those things in mind. >> So, you kind of narrow it down a little bit. So, I guess we'll take it for some
feedback from any of you guys is to to share with Brian and Cassandra and myself. >> You want feedback right now? >> Yeah, I'll start. >> I like option B. I like option B. >> I like option B and that would be my preference. But as somebody who's used
the current weight room where the windows are just very high, it also gets very, very hot in there when the sun shines down. And this is a self-facing window. So I'd be concerned about how much heat. So I like option B best, but
I also like option C for that reason. >> Can I ask you >> other than that the look of >> the aesthetics of B you like >> but the the practicality of C might be better because of what we have for cooling heat. This is it would depend for me on because if hockey
>> well and I think the other piece for option C that brick >> gives you more things to to hang TVs and stuff on. So you might have more more flexibility of that room >> if you use C versus B. >> Yeah.
>> Just I'm thinking like hanging TVs and what do you guys think? >> I really like I'm on the page of I like B. Those are valid points. I did not think about unless unless there's a way to do like some >> shades building shades in the window.
Maybe the windows that we have >> between the glass has the shade window. >> Correct. >> Well, you may have those may all be tinted, too. I'm guessing they're tinted. >> Yeah. >> So, whatever his comment back about what
he thinks what kind of windows. Yeah. options >> cuz I definitely like option B lookswise the best, >> but being in that other one, it does get hot. So, it would for me be very much a make sure there's a lot of fans in there.
>> Well, because the thing is too, as you think about it, when the sun comes up and then like say you're on a treadmill. >> Yes. >> And it's like right in your face. >> Sun's going to be right in your face. >> Oh, yes. It depends how it's set up, >> especially because it's a that will be a self-facing >> window.
and even in the winter. >> So that would be my only concern with >> you. >> Um I just want to keep it as economical as possible just from feedback that I've already heard from people in the
community. I just I want the waiver room. I just want to keep it as economical as possible. I agree with Sarah on the heat issue. I thought that was my first thought with the windows was that's a self-facing wall and that's
for heating and cooling. We're going to lose heat in the winter and then it's going to cost a lot Yeah. to to cool it in the summer and I'm assuming we're hoping the community can use this facility year round. So, just things to keep in mind. >> Yep.
>> Okay. >> I think we got good feedback on some questions to ask Robert. So, okay. I I will say I do remember when this entry or this commons area was put in, there was a lot of comments about how expensive the windows are and the
windows versus the brick. >> Oh. Or probably >> was the windows ended up being I think cheaper cheaper than brick >> cuz it was so >> and I wrote down that's depends on the day. >> I wrote down cost as one of the things as well. So >> very much. Yeah.
Okay, perfect. >> I don't want to give away the corner, >> but maybe you can compromise that black area on the right. You could do windows all the way down. See how they're shorter? >> Mhm. >> And then you could do the brick on option C. So then you kind of had a little more windows in one area, but the
brick in another. >> Yeah. He'll probably do some different examples now with those things in mind. And yeah, >> obviously the curved roof is whatever >> curve roof they like that fits the other buildings. Yeah, >> cuz even the elementary when we redid, we put a little short one over it so
that it just fit in. >> Kind of got a >> That's it. >> All right. Anything else from facilities? >> Activities. >> Activities. We did meet on March 23rd.
Um we got the meeting called to order. Then we went through the weight room expansion project idea which Mr. Malberg just updated all you on um the MDE approval and the updater on update on the user groups um and what we're going to be moving forward on that one. And
then we went into the winter sports updates. Um Mr. Mullen has all the coaching evaluations are done. Um there is no no negative. Everything's all good on that side of it. Participation numbers um they're in your packet. If you want me to go through them, I can.
But there's a lot of numbers there. Um, but everything looks good for every single sport. Um, >> was there a survey for girls high school basketball? >> Yes, there's a survey for every single sport. >> So if they wasn't >> girls basketball >> if they chose not to
>> not junior high, just high school. >> Yep. Ninth through. >> Is that in the packet? Mhm. >> I guess as you talk about numbers when it starts coming up later about >> adding coaches that might be something I want to integrate those things.
>> Well, we're going up in numbers and everything. That's why we're going to have the coaching. I I'll go I'll go through I'll go through that's >> not like randomly telling me 20 year and 23. I mean I'm talking when we get to that next part. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> So there's that one. So there's only one
>> only one turned only one varsity player turned in there >> for the junior high or for the girls basketball >> girls basketball >> there was five >> see it's not online here but whatever
like rotate that zoom it in >> it's sideways I didn't have it at my >> there's only there's only one varsity girl that turned it in. >> Two junior varsity and the rest are all junior high. >> Well, there's one right here that I was
six. It wasn't in the pack. >> Oh, really? Mine. So, it's more >> That's all. That's junior high. >> Yeah, but if you look in the bottom, the varsity one. >> Oh, >> yeah. That's done cuz this one
>> is done. >> If you want me to, I can get you or I can have Mr. Malber get you or Mr. and get you guys a copy of >> I don't have >> I got the one that Matt gave us at the meeting so I don't know how it changed but
>> not in there. >> So then the survey results are in there. If you guys have any questions, comments, or concerns, please reach out. Um I didn't see anything negative in there for the most part. Um everything looked like it was pretty cut and dried. Um then changes for next year positions
slashprograms the f future need for head girls wrestling. Um the head girls wrestling we have 333 the downside to it was remind me of why we're looking at a head coach for that one >> because they go to different meets and the state is separating them.
>> Yes. >> So eventually we we won't need to maybe do it next year >> but the following year we will have to have a separate girls head coach. >> How many girls are younger? >> And what did you say 33? What does that mean? That means there's three. >> There's nine. >> There's three 23 24 years in years. So
year 23, 24, there was three. >> 24 25 there was three. 25 26 there was three. The only reason why we're adding it is because of the different needs. >> Oh, so we have three girls currently. Could become more, but we have different needs. So you have to have a coach.
>> And the states requiring it eventually. >> We have any interest to >> Yeah. Pat used to doesn't know, so he'll end up. >> Okay. >> Two of them are his daughters. So, >> two of the three. >> Okay. The other one's mine.
>> The other one's so maybe Stacy will want to become girls. Perfect. >> I don't think anybody >> um other additional coach for basketball. Um we are looking at for the upcoming years for boys and girls. Um because of the numbers that are coming
up, they got 60 54. You want me to start from the top or the bottom? How do you want me to do it for the numbers? >> Go from oldest. >> I don't care. >> You don't care. So >> youngest to oldest. Okay. So boys basketball, we got 60 >> for 23 22 23. So what these are these
are the years. Let me rephrase this. So as we look at this, this is what's graduating this year. Total numbers in 9th through 12th. Okay. Total numbers, not grades, just total numbers. So 9 through 12 was 65 for boys basketball.
Girls basketball is 36. So does that help you with your numbers on that side of it where it expands because we got a lot only five or six or seven can play on a court? >> That's a lot. >> So they're looking at >> we're looking at different options to >> have any juniors right now in girls
basketball. >> Girls basketball struggled for a good good long time. >> Yes. >> Well, and it's kind of statewide. It's just not us. you want to look. >> And so thinking about like I read that boys basketball they want to have a head coach, an assistant coach, and then a
10th grade sophomore coach and a >> nth grade coach. >> So basically it's an assistant varsity position. Correct. >> Yep. And then a couple more. So it makes four. >> That's one more. We don't have that currently. >> We have three. >> We have three. >> Three paid.
>> And then numbers for small schools. Is that what everybody else >> most schools in our conference that we're going into have four? >> The downside of it, we tabled it for now because we would also for title nine, >> if you hire four for boys, you will need
to hire four for girls and girls only has 36 kids. >> So, some of the conversation was, do we allow the coach to cut a little bit with older kids, juniors and seniors? >> That might be an option. That's a six
employees when you >> most schools don't you know a lot of schools don't cut which we haven't and I'm not saying I'm for it. I'm just saying that's a conversation that we had. >> We had the we had the discussion and we ended up taping it because we needed more information with the Granite Ridge
conference as we go into that. So it's a couple years out for this but as we move forward into the Granite Ridge conference we need to look at how are we going to be most effective >> and for gym space I think about how do you practice with 67 children >> did you have a comment Bridget
>> um has been when we're discussing this either we hire another or may touch this program has there um complaints from somebody or where where is this coming from that there's a need for this or why are we concerned about this
>> because there's 65 kids in the boys program so that concern is valid but to do that you have to also hire in the girls program and that's not which is why it's being taped but the boys numbers are getting very high for a 9th through 12th grade
>> it came from the coaches Bridget >> yes >> you're muted No, she's not. She's got a delay. >> What is their comp is their complaint that they just feel like they can't play these? There's just obviously a basketball team is five 10 kids.
>> Yeah. Most of the time I think on like a college level, but >> they're they're looking more towards the one-on-one >> complaint or not complaint is that they >> we're not giving kids equal opportunity and that's why we need to add another
>> I guess you could call a team where we have JV varsity C squad. It's one more. >> You're not if you don't you know you got that one. >> We're only going to have one varsity team. >> Yeah. But we also we're also going to have more one-on-one time with other kids. more coaches. >> It will be more teams.
>> No, no, it'll be But we could have a kid could >> It's not 65, but that's 7 through 12. >> 7 through 12 total. Okay. >> It's 43 9 through 12. >> Okay. So, >> it's more just to allow Pra coaches to better practice and have more drills
done. Coaches split up. It gives you fewer numbers to run drills. It's more about organization for practice. Other schools our size are doing this. >> This is the Granite Ridge conference. >> Most of them schools were bigger. Are there schools bigger than us?
>> So, some are in the >> We are going to be winning the Granite Ridge conference. We will be one of the smaller schools. >> That's what I was. So, I was just trying to like not necessarily changing it because the conference, but wanting to see what is our ratio for just like we decide classrooms and teachers.
>> Right. Correct. >> Yep. Because until we get the girls program up and running a little more, we got to take that discussion. So, >> right. >> Any other questions? Good questions later on. >> I guess another sport. You're
>> one question. So, if we hire Oh, I'm sorry. Was somebody else talking? I'm sorry. >> No, you're fine. Well, we'll let go back to Becky in a minute. Okay. with the delay. I know >> if we if we hire this other coach and we keep
the amount of students in the program, our space doesn't change. >> So, >> yeah, >> hiring another coach at this point without having the space for the extra kids or the excess of the kids in this
program to me at this point doesn't make sense. >> It's not about space, Bridget. They're already experiencing the space. >> It's not It's not about space. >> She's still talking, but I'm not hearing her. >> It's okay. We can talk about it more
later. I know. It's just like >> Yeah. It's not about space. It's about better drills. >> Yeah. >> That's why it's been tabled. What else did you have to say? >> Anything else you were gonna You mentioned wrestling, basketball. Did you
have another sport? >> Nope. Oh, >> nope. >> Nope. Just wrestling and basketball are the only two that we're looking for on that side. >> Wrestling's tough. >> Wrestling one we're not going to have a choice. >> Yeah, wrestling we're doing one way or the other. >> Yeah, we don't have choice.
>> It's either that or we're cutting the program and then we got to cut another would cut our throat if we >> Nope. We are not doing that. We're not even going to approach that subject. That's not an option. >> Yeah. So, we're hiring a wrestling coach. It just is
>> correct. >> So is that something we have to do? >> No, this is something here. It's >> this is all the This is There is no action items. There is no That's everything that's here for 2017. >> So that's not something that is >> it's just stuff that's coming out, >> but just making you guys aware of it.
>> And then we went through the spring activities updates. Uh the program numbers, uh golf is at 42, softball's at 73, baseball's at 65, tracks at 90. Just to give you a highlight on that side of it. is 90. >> 90. >> Huh?
That's >> 22. >> Yep. >> That was not in the >> You think you need a new track? >> Yeah. So, >> the spring numbers aren't fully. Yeah. >> No, that was just mowing just mowing
rattling stuff off on that side of it. So, >> 90. Wow. >> Did we have to hire somebody for that? >> Yeah. Yeah, >> straight down there. Yeah, try to go 751. So on that side of hence the reason why we're going to do the 75 for one.
>> So on that side of it, um then the coaching openings is filled other than that 75 possible need changes track coach for the spring 75. I think we already did we already start that one? We did. So we're already done on that one. Um and then we needed a golf JV
golf shuttle driver to get the JB back and forth to the golf courses. Um, and that was filled by >> Mr. Savage. >> Mr. Savage. >> Got him back. >> Yep. He's never leaving. >> He's never leaving.
>> Kelly finally gets done with work for the day. It's probably better. >> And that will be another position down the road too because when we go into the new conference, they do boys and girls golf at different events at different places. Correct. Whereas now they do
them together. So eventually if we can have 14 or 15 girls out like we have this year which is phenomenal compared to having three or four when you have separate you're going to have a JV golf coach staying back. >> So that'll be another position that we'll have to look at not probably next
year but the year after. >> Yeah. As you guys are learning moving to the new conference is just going to cost us money but we'll be more competitive in the athletic side of things. Um, I got a musical, Prostart, one act, speech, robotics. We talked about that.
All the numbers are in there. I do have it somewhere, but I'm not going to dig it out right now. Try to find it. So, oh, there it is back there. >> Got it. Robotics is Okay, we'll just do it this way. Sixth grade is seventh. Seventh grade is eighth. Eighth grade is ninth. Ninth
grade is 10. 11 and 11. And there is no seniors, is there, for robotics >> for next year. >> For next year. So speech has 26, high school musical had 35, one act is 12 or that's yeah FFA is zero
but that leads us back into the next five. So FFA at zero but um FFA and ProStart for 2627 um we are looking at opening the FFA open because we have was it Mr. Andrew?
Yeah, >> proar. Okay, proar was Andrew. Can't read my not writing on here. And Gabby for FFA >> and we are going to um start the FFA program up back again with Gabby being the lead on it. So we've had missed it for two years. We've taken it out of the
budget or not. We've always had in the budget, but we've taken it out. We're going to bring it back implement it next year. So >> she's having a meeting on FFA to see how many kids are interested and see if we have enough >> which I hope they will. Amen. >> Pro start will bring that back.
>> Yep. >> Now, will the pro start be like it was when we first started it when they did the cooking of it, or will it be how it was like? >> I'm guessing Andrew will want to be the cooking piece of it, but I don't know that for sure. >> There was two very different programs,
>> very different programs. >> Very different. So, >> preferably we're going to be in the competition mode. >> Thank you. >> Preferably from what I'm hearing. what I would like to see on that side of it. So, >> and who's Gabby? >> She's the new
teacher. >> Very good. >> She's really nice. >> I'm not sure. >> It's just good to know if people like you will know. >> Yeah. Program. We got that. And then I request you request off top of your head
for >> robotics. Well, they want to just go at junior high >> at junior high. So, that's okay. >> Eighth graders to go on their >> It was 7 through 12. >> I got 7 through 12. >> You just said other schools do. That's not going to
happen. >> She was only asking for eight. >> I thought it was seven. Either way, >> I got seven through 12. >> I had seven through 12. I could be wrong. >> I read the letter. >> We approved it, so it doesn't matter. to include seventh and eighth grade.
>> The other people this year we expand >> right here. I am requesting eighth grade students be included into this policy to attend our three night tournaments. >> Okay. Let me >> ask the eighth grade to go to the three night dates. >> Yeah, that's what they're asking.
>> So, I'll go through some handbook changes. We're going to have participation fee upgrades. Current fees are 65 and 80. They're looking we're going to look at going to 75 to 100. Um going back to that conference
comparison again. Um as we get into the Granite City conference, we're going to be more aligned with the Granite City Conferences >> fees. >> Fees. Yes. Cost fees. So um ticket prices possible increase ticket prices from 5 to 7. We're going to go to
increase the adult to eight and the students to eight or adults to 10, students to eight. >> So looking at other >> It's five and eight. >> Five and eight. Okay. >> Five and eight. >> Is that what we're going to do? >> Yeah. For ticket prices, >> five for student, eight for adult.
>> Yeah, we're just going to Yeah, eight for an adult. >> I didn't see in the notes. >> And keep in mind our students get in for free. >> The highest of eight. >> Yes. >> But they a lot of them just set theirs also. But yeah, those eight eight guys, >> keep in mind, >> they'll go up before we do then.
>> But keep in mind, we sell passes, which is way cheaper than the $8. >> Oh, I >> So really where we're hitting is people that are coming to our games because our students don't pay the $5 either. >> They're free. >> So if we go to five and eight, we're really probably not going to hurt our
residents. It's going to be more of the people that are coming. >> Correct. >> Yeah. because you can buy a pass for I think it's 75. >> I'm completely fine with it. I saw 10. I like you have a question. >> Um Mike hit on it. I was just uh wondering if the passes were going to
increase too. I just thought we would mention it if anybody's actually watching to prepare themselves. But are the passes increasing or no? >> Yeah, just like by 10 bucks. >> 70. Go from 65 to 75. That's the activity pass. What's the $100 one? >> That's fees.
>> That's the fees. >> Oh, >> the other piece of it, um, just an FYI as to why this kind of came about, we've been adding coaches because the numbers. >> Oh, >> we've been >> family max. Are you increasing the family max?
>> Yes. >> Give me time to >> unload that barrel. >> Yeah. So, the reason why this kind of came about is we've been adding coaches because they keep coming to us saying we have higher numbers, but we have not been generating any money in fees. The
fees did not go up for the more kids that we have going out. our fees. I had Missy run a report to say where are we at for fees because we budgeted more thinking we're going to make more and it's it's hard to say exactly because it's also thrown into gate receipts as
well. But we budgeted 90 grand for gate receipts and fees and we're less than 60 we're about 68,000. We were at 68,000 two years ago. So yeah, we're not generating the gate receipts and or the the fees to help pay
for the coaches that we're adding. >> So it's kind of a catch of 22. So >> wires >> free and reduced or >> yeah, >> we don't you know that's a good question, but but it could be gates are down too. People aren't coming to the game
>> because they can watch them online >> because they can watch them online. So there's it's a combination of everything. >> You're guilty. I love it. >> There sees the reason right there. >> I love my pajamas. >> Ask the question.
>> Why is it down? Because you don't show up with your kids to be able to get in here, but it'd be great. >> I was like, it's not me because we're not >> I like being like >> I was going to throw you down that road, but >> Oh, you can. >> I know. I just said um and then the Bentley max will go from where we at
now? 350. It's going to 400. And it will all be in the activities book come >> July >> July when we have to authorize that >> forget about that part but I know I pay more than that every year. >> Oh you think you might you might not >> then add it up the beginning of the year
and just write a check for 400 bucks and >> and then write on every hilarious I should do that. Well, that's just about as brilliant as I can get right there. >> That's the smartest thing for every other sport in at time sign up night.
You can do it all right though. >> Is there is totally different. >> Then we will have senior citizens for the pillager family residents will be free. >> They are, but we will be charging everybody. >> I'm bringing the good news after all the
bad news. >> They're already free. So, how do we know that that >> we'll give them a pass? >> No, we're charging the senior citizens. >> We haven't. >> No, we have not been, but we will be. So, so we it's a benefit to be elderly
and villager >> in our community. >> I have 54 res in our school district. I'm sure asking what is it over >> grandma and grandpa who live in holding for >> is it 65 or 62 >> I think 65
>> I think it's 65 too but >> that's what makes you qualify for Medicare so let's say I'm 60 >> give me give me your $7 let's go um and then we went through then we
adjourned that meeting for the activity side of it then we went into the community ed education update uh Mr. Smith took over and he started talking about the classes and the offered in the plan. I didn't know pulling that out but
>> I don't know if that was or not but >> you want that one. >> That's the one I want. Thank you sir. I had it all right in right in the in line but didn't happen. Um so then we had art club that's 2025. He's offering Baby City 101, but he
doesn't have the numbers there. He's got uh he's going to have to beginner's chess, chess club, crafting with granny. Um crochet >> hasn't happened for a bit. >> No crochet. Then he's going to offer defensive driving. Uh March 2026 looks like there was 16 participants.
>> Um firearm safety, fast kids. Um I'm assuming that's the one that where they're babysitting, learning how to babysit though or take care of a younger child. kids is learning how safe. >> So, and then ATV safety, then gymnastics. We're going to start opening
up gymnastics for 2026. Um, both correlation of it's going to be here and Little Falls is going to open it up first and then Little Falls is going to follow along behind co-op with them. Um, then we got the Husky Paws Art Club. 17 students sign up for that. We're going
to offer swimming. Um, no, >> just came out today. >> Did it? There's no numbers on there. Yeah, it hit Facebook. >> Then it looks like we're going to go to the Pine Grove Zoo at July 17th. Volleyball camp June and July. Girls basketball camp June and July. Leaf
River Pottery April May. Um Five Rocks in February. That's adult only. Five Rocks is February. >> We will have a beer 101 for adults only. Time hasn't been scheduled on that one. Then band camp in August. >> So that's where the classes that are going to be offered.
though. >> Thank you, Mr. Malberg. >> I don't know why they can't. They They don't have to drink it just because they make >> I will say that firearm safety fil got >> perfect. >> I think they keep like a waiting list.
>> Yeah. >> And then we went through the spring and summer winter uh winter program numbers. Basketball was huge. Um then we went through the spring and summer numbers. um lower than last year, but summer ball is not at deadline yet. So, we don't
know the full numbers of that. Um >> what's the deadline >> when we had this meeting? >> Oh, I was going to say >> when we had this meeting for the baseball, >> then we adjourned the meeting and everybody went on their merry way. questions
on me. >> Increase adult to $10. >> I knew I saw it on the agenda somewhere. >> Yeah. And I think that was >> that was an option we decided >> and we decided because we didn't want to go that >> Yeah, you did. Yeah. Oh, we also did
have, you guys really want to know the nuts and bolts of our meeting was to put a pit in the gym floor. >> Pull pit. >> Pull ball pit in the gym floor in this gym.
>> It wasn't that bad actually. $2,600. >> Um, yeah. But we chose we decided not to >> uh the issues that came up for it were uh we have to cut a hole in our floor. >> Uh any water damage that comes up. Uh
Brainard is not being used right now. They have one that they can't use theirs because of damages and different things. >> So like it sometimes it shifts. it shifts and then you're playing basketball on the same court and it
shifts during a game and you got a kid with a >> tornado something. >> That'd be something good like in the lunchroom or something. >> Well, we discussed a different view. Sorry there. He can't run fast. >> Yeah, it would be terrible.
>> You'd have to go around the corner. >> So, and then we adjourn. >> He's really talented by the time. Any other questions for activities? Thank you. >> Oh, thank you. >> Then personel.
>> I had a personnel meeting. I got to do that fun meeting and then I get to got to do this one. Fun actually. All right. We had a meeting on April 7th. Um we discussed some district awards.
the source educators of excellence coming up. Sports staff of the person people of the year or person of the year. Um some other awards that are coming up. We have are you who's coming to the dinner on Wednesday? There's a dinner on Wednesday for the student.
>> That's uh the counselor and principal. Okay. Mr. Reeves and Sudo. >> So that's on Wednesday. Then we discussed the extended contract. We got a proposal from the counselors. They would like extra days for in the summer.
Um they requested 10 days for one and well 10 days for both. I >> think it was 10 >> 10 and five. >> 10 and five 10 additional >> additional beyond what they are already that's in addition to what they are
already contracted for. So this would be additional dates they'd like to add to their contracts. So we which I believe is >> an action item. >> It is an action item >> and they're being paid this. >> There's a note right now. >> Yeah, I was going to say can I go out? >> No. And the the just for we agreed to
only do five. >> Yeah. No, I was going to get to that >> and I do have the dollar amount what that would be too. So I'm when we discussed it um what we came up with was this year we would like to start with five additional
days for the high school and two additional days for the middle school and see how that went and then if that worked stay there otherwise add more as needed if it's a thing. So, I would like to make a motion to add uh extended
days, five days for the high school counselor and two days for the middle school counselor in their contract days. >> I'll second that. >> You would like to second that. Are there any questions, comments, or concerns? >> What was the what did they request?
>> Yeah. What's been the reason? >> Um they >> Yep. The primary reason for this request is a growing volume and complexity of registration and post-secondary coordination responsibilities. That was from the high school. Um, and
in all honesty, having being a parent who has had kids in high school sometimes when she wouldn't get back until school started, it was like, "Oh my gosh, I >> needed to be done. >> When are they going to Is it more
flexible? like you're going to start like the end of July versus like I'm just going to piggyback it on the second to the last week of August or >> Yeah, they usually do a week right after school's out and a week before school starts and then probably they come in on high school comes in a little bit in
July to fill some different things. >> But if you're doing PSO, you want to know your craft by the first week of August. >> Yeah, >> that would be done in the spring. But that's where the additional that's why I would also but that's why that gives her a day if she could come in and or check
that and get back to people midway through so that those are set up but I think that's in her plan because PSO was one of her main concerns. >> So she knows that um she's talking um early late May early June and then late
summer. She has a whole proposal. >> Okay, >> two page did a nice job. Uh then >> but how many did she ask for? >> She asked for 10. >> She >> but she's been doing all the same things >> and we knew that it was getting tight.
So we but we decided to go with five. >> With budget con >> and we did have a comparison from other schools as to what they have, how many counselors they have. >> It was we're verifi within those numbers. I think it was very fair to do those days.
>> Yep. And then um it was more um for the middle school it was because they were uh given five extra days on their contract five years ago but then she needed more than that for organizing different kids in different classes and
stuff. So >> increase IP meetings too as well. I just had asked that question because I think it is valid asked, but is five enough based on what they're asking us. And that's why we decided to go with the
five now with budget and then see how that was working and if we needed to add more. >> We have another plan to help as well with registration. So, we're going to try to do that next year. >> Yes. >> Without going into a whole lot of details to help them with some registration stuff.
>> Yes. And so what does this dollar amount mean with the >> 2400 for high school and 990 for middle school? >> So it's an additional $3,300. >> All right. So >> I >> I
>> I >> I >> I passes. Okay. Then we discussed food service contract which is not up for that right now. Um
food service contract is up for bid right now. We expect to have um a couple different companies bid it and then that will they'll go through them and decide if we are staying with the same company or if we will end up with a new one. So
that but that is up for bid at this point. >> Food service is up for bid, right? >> Yep. >> Uh then we discussed summer school which will be the first two weeks of June this year and we do have teachers teaching. We
don't have enrollment options or numbers for that. >> No, not yet. >> Teachers are looking through lists right now. >> Is it full days or what's the >> half days? Half days. no caps >> and no and no busing.
>> So, okay. Then we discussed uh the high school and elementary staffing, which um as of the day of this meeting, which was last Tuesday. The paper said 78, but we have 80 kindergarteners
registered as of that day. >> 82 as of today. >> Thursday. I knew that had changed. >> 82. So, >> 92. No time. Currently we have five sections um planning to get to there and planning on
with five sections and hoping we make it so that the five is the right number for that. Uh first grade is currently four sections and we plan on staying at there unless we gain a lot which would be
discussed. All these will be looked at again multiple times >> in the next however many months over the summer. >> Uh second grade currently we have 93. We currently have five section and five sections and they would recommend
reducing a section unless we gained several other students which would mean putting one teacher on leave. So, and then um third grade we have 105.
Um we currently have four sections and they recommend staying unless we gain a lot more students. Fourth grade, same numbers, same sections, 105.
Uh we did discuss an option of maybe a combined class. Um if we got a few more of like third, fourth grade combination class, something like that. Um, but I think we
tabled that for a later date, see what numbers are in case anybody drops or we get more and just need more. Uh, fifth grade is 108, sixth grade 106, 7th grade 107,
um, 8th grade 110, 9th 119, 10th is 106, 11th is 80, and 12th was 81. So those were the numbers we just said we discussed that thing and I think that
one teacher was the only one that we really had to discuss a movement on right now. So >> things been decided on that. Correct. >> Well, I think she has to be told by the end of this month. >> Who's that?
>> If we decide to reduce. >> No, not till June. June. Yeah. No, I don't We're waiting, but if something doesn't change and we get more, we will have to put one teacher on. And it's always for
10 years, it's always the last one. >> That could change though with the three-year-old program, too. >> Yes, that could come up again in a minute. >> Yeah. More to come. >> More to come. All right. Then we discussed a three-year-old program proposal
which did that already service. Oh, we did during the food service thing they are going to add some um fun things to our food lines. Make it look cute. So
with that >> decor, make it enticing. then our new food or our new three-year-old program. Um, talking about actually, let's just have Ryan describe it so that I don't butcher the
whole idea. >> Uh, for the three-year-old program, we have a proposal that we brought to the Priscale today. >> And I believe I put it. So, the three-year-old program is a um it would be an early childhood obviously, which is in our fund for just
like our school readiness programming. Um so, it's based on fees. Um so, looking at some districts around us that have three-year-old programs as well, we tried to look at what options we have. And then we also surveyed families uh based off of our um child count and and
families that had two-year-olds and three year olds moving into the next year. um and had some really great results. You can see I made copies of that. I put it on the back as well. Um in terms of the number interested in
65% uh with the not sure bumping us into the over 70% um would be interested in programming like that. Um asking if there's a cost to it that changes some of the question as well. Um we did some
research around that. um in terms of finding a cost that's very similar to the districts around us, but also they have access to pathway one and pathway two, so there are options for families that would struggle with the cost of it. Um we think based off of the feedback,
we could uh do a three-year-old program and be sustainable like our school readiness programming. Um and think that in even in terms of a risk that it would be worth trying to do. >> We have the space. >> We do. So the classroom that we use
right now um is running our special ed um programming. They would utilize that space and special ed would push in to it >> uh which would be more of that early childhood kind of programming model >> for it. So we do have the space family center wouldn't change with that. They
would still have the spaces that we have. um the looking at little huskies as well. We could also try to um add >> because these kids aren't there all day. So that's my next question is like >> so that was part of the survey asking
about transportation because families would have to provide their own transportation, >> right? And they're then they're only there for >> Yeah, it would be a morning program for the three-year-olds and it would be two days a week um with the every other Friday. Um, and then in the afternoon,
we also asked in the survey if you would be interested in another option for four-year-olds, like if we did an afternoon five days a week. Um, and we had a lot of positive feedback with that. So, even from last week's meeting, Josh has had another family reach out of, hey, I heard there was going to be a
three-year-old program maybe. Um, just wondering how it was going, if we were going to move forward with it. So um in terms of funding the other side we do provide special education for our um our
early age students birth to three and with some of those three-year-olds coming in we are actually not capitalizing on the dollars that we could because we are missing that gened component to go with it. Um so we'll actually capitalize on that as well. So,
um, yeah. >> So, I am going to make a motion that we approve having a three-year-old program. Can I get a second? >> I'll second. >> You would like to second. And now you can ask all your questions. >> Can I add something to that? Can I add
that? A fee based three-year-old program. >> Yes. Yeah, it is fee based. And we actually discussed the fee and at one point it was the number was negative. we'd be losing a little money and we said up the fees because we thought they were uh cheaper
than what we would have been paying when our kids were threey old program and they're 24 yes in in the proposal those were just some estimated numbers as we solidify some of those things we >> so you locked
>> in any other questions comments concerns you said that you would push in this that talk to me about the space again one more time. Sorry. >> So, it's the room that Little Huskies is in. No. >> Nope. Their rooms are not touched. Okay.
>> Where they're at right now, they have the one room and then they have what was the multi-purpose space, the larger space. So, they'll continue to keep those two spaces. The classroom that we have that we have run uh just the special ed programming out of in terms of that space talking with those special
ed teachers. Um, and we also have a smaller room connected to it. >> We will utilize that smaller room for any pull out they need to do and they will push in to that three-year-old program. >> How little Huskys was before we took the room back a couple years ago.
>> So, it's like where's that the office was every two rooms? >> Yep. And they also push into the four-year-old programming room as well. um in terms of the kids that we're servicing at that three-year-old program, this is a better option for them to have like peers
>> within that program. So, there's a >> a little bit of a a unattainable expectation by putting them with three or three-year-olds with a four-year-old and expecting them, you know, to >> act like foury old. >> Yeah, I was going to say they look delayed just because they are delayed by
a year, >> right? So that evens out that gener >> is when you said that there a potential of one cut is a thought process that potentially that person did have an opportunity >> or somebody else might has a license we
can put in that program because different teachers have different >> early childhood licenses that go from one spot to the next. >> Yes, Bridget. There's a huge >> delay. >> Yeah,
>> it's like five minutes. >> I was going to say like 45 seconds, but it is long. >> It's long. >> But do you have a question, Bridget? >> She's gross. Is her chat?
She's typing. >> She's typing something in there. >> She didn't have a question there. She's asking. >> I think there's a huge money on no idea what we're talking about. >> Me being adjourned. Bridget,
>> you are not helping. >> She'll get it when it's over. >> Yeah. Yeah. All right. >> Any other questions, comments? >> Yes. When we were surveying families, um, did we ask them >> the transportation question if it would matter? >> Yes,
>> we did. We specifically were very upfront with it that we would not have transportation for that. And even with three-year-olds, transportation wouldn't wouldn't do a a bus or a van of three-year-olds. So, >> yeah, sounds >> do we have any curriculum for this
program? Uh we would look at so we adopted Scholastic for the school readiness program. They do have a a younger version of it for three-year-olds um earlier. I'll call it early early childhood, but yes something >> I don't want to interrupt. So I don't
know if it's my turn to speak or not. I don't want to interrupt. >> Go ahead. >> Maybe. Oh, here. Did we when we sent the survey out, did we ask parents if transportation would be a make or break in their decision?
>> Yes. >> Uh it was part of the it was worded in the question around uh if transportation if you had to provide transportation, would you still be interested in the program? >> And 41% said yes. >> Yes. >> Yeah.
And 28% were not at this. No, not sure. >> Ryan, >> that is a long delay. Okay, you were over 45 seconds. >> Okay. >> Is she going to try to log back in? >> I said it's close to five because I can
see her lips moving all >> Can you hear me now? >> Yes. >> Yes. There we go. >> But we can't see you and we have to see you. All right, move on. There we go. >> My question with that is, is that going
to make or break parents in joining the program? >> No, because 41% said they'd still go. >> Just go with yeses and nos. Did we ask the parents if no transportation would make or break their decision in sending their child?
>> Yes. And 41% said they would still to go to the program. >> Can we type it to her? >> I text it to her. Bridget, >> how many three and four year olds do we have in our community right now?
>> It's it's in the survey result page 56. We had 75 responses. >> Are you serious? This is ridiculous. >> I don't know what part she's responding to. >> Okay, >> we need to move on because that's not
working. >> We're going to move on to a vote. Bridget uh Cass >> I >> I >> I >> I >> eventually when you get this Bridget say I >> Okay then
>> there you go. >> Sorry about that. >> No, I don't think so. That's the three months ago. >> Um >> I don't know how to proceed here with this huge delay. >> We don't we don't either. Uh then we moved on and discussed we're I'm just
gonna move on with the rest of this meeting because we still have >> So I don't know what you guys want to do. >> Um >> I'm going to try >> um Bridget I text you check your phone. >> Can you read my messages?
>> Yeah, but they're also delayed. >> Yeah. >> Text him. Text her and say check your text messages. Send us texts. >> Okay. Okay. Okay, we got to keep moving on. >> 2026 2027 staff development plan we went
through. Um, is this Mike's got some questions that he will bring up later that uh he has an idea for, but we um that's not it. We had a lot of paperwork that day.
Uh anyway, we came up with a whole Yeah, there it is. >> Look at mine. Welcome to my world. >> Yeah, we uh have to set aside 2% of our budget for staff development, which for us is $380,000. So, they have a whole
plethora of different ideas and things and it got approved by the teachers at the same time and for what they want to use it for and what the budget is. So, the administration set it up, the teachers approved it. So, the staff
development plan is set in motion at this point. And then we also discussed the um summer grounds contract. And I'd like to make a motion to um
accept the gap grounds contract. >> I'll second. >> Okay. Um, I believe that the bid came in uh or wasn't even a bid. Mike might discussed it with our current person and because it was under the uh state
guideline for going out for bid and we haven't been disappointed with the service, we just kept the contract where it was. So, I made a motion by second. Cass >> I >> Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot. Any questions, comments, or concerns? Sorry, I got all
flustered. Anybody have any questions or comments on the grounds contract? >> Negative. >> Okay. Cass >> I >> I >> I >> I >> Can you hear us now, Bridget?
>> We're going to go with >> Yeah, I mean it's already five people. So, >> and yeah. Uh then we also discussed uh the fact that they would be doing um interviews after that later last week
for the director of teaching and learning. So um they have offered the position to uh Rachel Johnson and she has accepted. Correct. >> Correct. >> So we would need to approve her
contract. So, I will make motion to approve the teaching and learning director contract. >> Okay. Any questions, comments, or concerns? >> Who all was in the uh interview process? >> We had two principles in there. We had a
teacher from elementary and a teacher from the secondary as well. Wendy Hall was in there and myself. >> Okay. >> On that contract on the appendix A, is it supposed to say 2728? Like it says 2627, then it says 2729,
but it's only 220 days. So I'm thinking it's supposed to be it's a typo. >> I think >> Yeah, that bottom square should be gone. >> Yeah, we did one year. >> So don't even look. >> It's just a one year. >> We did one year because from the
principles >> and so so we can negotiate administration all in the same cycle. And so offered a one year to do that one year thing to sign. >> She only has a one-year contract. She does not have a
>> correct to start with. Yeah. >> Any other questions, comments, or concerns? >> Nope. >> Hi. >> Brian. >> Hi. >> Hi. >> Hi. Hi. >> Okay.
And unless I'm forgetting anything, I think that was all we did for personnel. >> Yes. We did grounds. >> And that's all that I have. >> All right. Then let's move on to curriculum.
>> I have just a really short update for you. should be 30 days, right? >> Um, >> just to give you an update, MCA testing is in progress right now. It's always exciting. Uh, reading is done, math is
starting up this week and then finally the last week of April. Uh, April 6th, um, we did we talked we've talked about Raptor many times and so we did our first kind of raptor drill with that and it was um, getting everybody into the system and so we we have that going.
I'll talk a little bit more about the results in the backside here. But we also have um, teachers looking at tier one instruction looking at password results uh, in terms of instruction in the classroom classroom and then uh, reading intervention. that math standard
review was meeting and then our new team was meeting for that cardiac emergency response. And then just some updates for summer. We have the source summit will happen again. It's one day this year instead of two and then there is a compass um
conference or compass institute. MD does it free. Um so anybody can go to it as long as they register. It is in St. Paul. Um, so it would be an overnight for some people, but we do have some teachers interested in going to that. Um, and that was all multi-tered system
of supports. So everything we've been doing with M&MTSS, it really aligns to that. So um, I went two years ago, it was really good, really good. So uh, and then Raptor's alert piece. I just wanted to give you kind of a preview or show
you that piece. The back has a summary of it. And then um actually >> 28 seconds is phenomenal. >> The summary piece and Bridget I'll I'll share the summary piece with you as well. Um the goal for the day was really
to get people into the system. So either mobile if they're going to use their phone or onto the computer make sure that they could log in and then to run a drill and let them tell us where they are and their location, right? their status, sorry, and their location and
then collect feedback of what worked and what didn't. Knowing we've never run this together as the whole building, right? Um it went really quick. 28 seconds, we had people instantly um putting information into the system. >> That's awesome.
>> Yeah. Um the Raptor system in terms of activating it, I was the one that activated the drill. So within seconds that first map pops up into the system of where did it originate and it's the district office and it's me as the dot.
>> Um so in terms of emergency response team they will have access to that you know in terms of >> because anybody can activate it from their because they're okay >> and it says sorry I might be jumping ahead. It's great.
>> Um, the people that didn't get accounted for or didn't do it was from what I was reading it was issues with the technology. >> We had a couple in terms of So, one of the things that we learned is JMC's connection. Okay. Right. In terms of
like the data coming over. So, a couple people where their roster didn't fill completely. So, we're looking we're fixing those things. the um so some it's that some of it is uh in terms of the data like EAS were not at the PD training so it was only teachers
everybody in JMC is in the system and so everybody needs to be accounted for um so in terms of the numbers that came in those are the people at the training and it went quick the bulk came within five minutes of being online and I left it
open for about 12 >> okay >> um but they all came flying in. And then there some of the other feedback that we'll give is some people rostered their kids and so we asked them to just pick where you're at at 9:00 on any given day and they rostered the period they were
in, they rostered the kids they were in and then they didn't put their status or didn't put their location kind of thing. So there were just some of those pieces in terms of that will help us with the training moving forward. >> But I was very impressed at how quickly >> we got information. >> That's awesome.
>> Yeah. This is as long as we have the technology figured out because if something happens, it can't be well should happen in my room, but my my phone doesn't connect to this anymore. >> Yeah. >> And we we've talked a little bit about some of those things and that will come
up with the next training um which will be into workshop week where we have everybody there. Um the kind of a buddy system in terms of I don't have my phone, right? I don't have my computer with me. Who's the person that you're going to go to? because they can look up your roster and they can mark you down,
right? I can look up anybody at any moment. And so if I'm in the hallway and I say, "We need to go in here," right? And I take somebody in there and lock the door, I can say, "Yep, we're secure." And I can find them and put them in a room and say they're secure.
>> So, and they can do it within within seconds. >> Nice. To do it. So, >> that's good. >> It's really really cool to see >> anything to make us safer. >> Yeah. Good. Anything else? No. Any questions for
Ryan? All right. Thank you very much. >> I think it might be worse now. >> Okay. Anything else from curio? >> No. Okay. Policy. >> Hey guys. Maybe she's off the date.
>> She's talking but we can't hear her. No. Are >> you muted? Why don't we >> All right, I'll >> Why don't we'll just have Cassandra >> I'm going to take over policy. >> All right, everybody. First reading of 410, Family and Medical Leave Act. That
is a whole ball of wax in itself. Uh it refers to the Minnesota parenting laws and how people get paid on leave. and it also rolls in with a different type of leaf. So, it's a detailed policy, very confusing. So, that's the first read on that one. Let's go
>> 503. >> Is it a new policy? Is that a brand new policy? >> No, it's just updated to meet with >> that kind of thing. It's just an up good update. So, and then 503 is student attendance. It is spel this 503 is
spelled out in our handbooks. It's the specific date. So, we already have that updated. 515 is updated immunization information about protecting the privacy of parents. That's what 515 is about. 530 is reflecting Minnesota Health and
Human Services guidance. No big changes. 6:15 aligns the policy with transitions to MCA requirements. 701. Um, it just changed verbiage from shall to must.
And 721 was talking about bids 175,000 or under. Is it no bids? >> What was that? It was >> They raised the rate. They raised the amount to 175, didn't they?
>> So then anything under that is no bids. If it's higher than 175,000, it needs bids. for >> certain things. >> Certain things because the grounds contract >> grounds contract is not that Yeah, it's >> that's a different area. >> This is uniforms. >> Yes.
>> So, we don't have to vote. >> No, it's just first read. >> That's just first. Okay. So, Mike's got the second. >> And then I added to um we had the MDE was here doing our food service analysis study. I guess you could say a audit. There was three things that we kind of
got cited on. uh one was two two of them were our policies. We had the policies but we didn't have them updated with numbers and stuff. So examples like a lot of the contracts or the policies you have to go in and say who's responsible
the superintendent. We may forgot to put the superintendent in. Right. So we I updated the 533 which is a wellness one which basically we just talked about. Um, I did it not print red. I did
find the red piece. I don't know. That one's not red. Let me see who the other one is. I have it twice. I thought that one's not red either. um wellness basically talked about who was
responsible and we had to put in like superintendent uh we were missing that piece and then uh I think there was one other piece but I have to look at I don't know oh who was designated to oversee it that would be the superintendent because we didn't say
that that was and then um option we had to we had payment of meals we had they gave you three different options and we didn't identify what option it was. So, we had to go in and choose what option it was, which is for us it's option one. All the card
items or second meal purchases are to be prepaid before meal service begins. Families can pay through electronic payment option, pay at the school district office or pay the cashier at the meal line. It gave three different options and we didn't say which option it was. We've always done this one, but
we just >> haven't didn't have it spelled out. So, I fixed that one. And then 534, which is school meals policy, we had to also talk about which way people could pay for it, which we didn't have that say spelled
out. Then we had to say uh when families were going to be notified if they were in the hole, which we do, and how we do that, which we do automated system, but we we do it on a weekly basis and as soon as they hit a negative a dollar amount. So I updated that in the policy
and then >> which is a lot more difficult to do now that all meals are free, >> right? >> So it's just extras and all the carts. >> Extras and all the carts, but they can still go in the hole. >> Yes. >> So those were two of the three things that we had to fix.
>> That's it. >> Policy's done. >> No eyes on that one, sir. >> Yep. Thank you. Uh budget >> budget, we didn't meet, but I see we have a handout here. >> Yeah, Missy is out today. She's not
feeling well. So, she did put a report there. She just said, um we started working on the budget for 2027. Um it's very preliminary at this stage. Uh she also ran we are in 10th month of
12 of our fiscal year, which means we should be around 75% of the budget spent. We're at 69. So, we're in good shape there. Uh, and then also another one of the uh we also are being a nutrition programs resource management review. We did that between February and
April and we've been under review for the nutrition program. We had one finding in regard to the shared cost of utilities. We've been quoting out utilities uh in the kitchens. We were told now that we can't do that the way that we want to do that, which will affect we
have to spend money. We can't spend that money in that food account the way we want to basically. >> Um, so it is a difference of about 22,000 to 3,000. So the state's only letting us >> pay $3,000 for the electricity and power
and >> so now the rest of the money we have to >> spend other ways. Yep. Which means we may buy more better quality food yet more than we are doing. So unfortunately that the way we've done it is no longer
accepted. So >> minions it is. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Twin pepper >> tenderloin. Yeah. >> That's it for Missy. >> Perfect. Anything else from budget? No. >> All right. Thank you. Uh then moving on to other uh Mike has an idea.
>> Yeah, I know. Sarah and I have talked about this. She attended the National Rural Education Counc. >> I haven't yet. I haven't this one. Um, my recommendation for you guys, I think it would be an idea for you guys to put this on your calendar as a board to attend. It is in San Antonio. It's
October 19th to the 21st. Um, I kind of thinking u we already talked we would be fut, Tuesday, Wednesday. >> Yeah. >> Anyway, I think it's something to put on your calendars and u >> where it's in San Antonio. uh rather
than going to the state MSBA one. >> Yeah, >> it's probably more geared towards schools our size >> and all the schools that participate and that they get speakers from have under 3,000 students K12. So instead of having a somebody from a Minneapolis school or
whatever for what would be like around here, it's like okay that's a great program but we can't implement it and they have just ideas and things for role which is why I am going whether you all choose to or not >> but glad to see you all.
>> October 20th is my 25th year wedding anniversary. >> Should I go spend? >> Well, bring her bring her along. Oh, would that go well? >> For who? YOU OR EVERYBODY ELSE? >> I'M JUST THINKING IT. It's going on

uh for her work with the American Heart Association. They raised almost $15,000 to help fund life-saving research. So, it was a nice uh nice job there. Um congratulate speech team members uh at the section. We have over, you know, 25
kids out. Miss Trout's done a great job. And I'd like to commend Maria Maria Thumbbo. She got first in humor. So, she'll be going to the state uh speech meet on Saturday, April 25th. And I attended a Mesa region meeting on
Thursday of last week. Uh all three people that spoke for MSBA, MREA, and MASA all mentioned different programs that are getting pushed by Education Minnesota, which is a statewide teacher
salary. Uh, I gave you an example of this and Brian and I just looked if they pass that at 60, 80, and 100,000. And right now with this bill, there's no money attached to that. >> Oh, no. They're not going to. So if this
education Minnesota gets this passed, which all three of those people said, if we become a Democratic trifecta, Education Minnesota pretty much gets everything run through because they just listened to Education Minnesota. So if
you look at that math, this one is 60,000, this one's 80,000, this one's 100. It's going to make a huge impact on salaries for all of our staff. And if they're also pushing an insurance thing that is also going to kill >> now and they're pushing statewide
insurance >> that however there is some money attached to that supposedly but it will never last and it'll never make enough money. So this is to pay this group 60 this >> right? So if somebody would >> just be flat rates in these categories.
>> Those are all of the steps and lanes where they are under the threshold. >> Right. So if you're making 48,000 on that one of those steps and lanes they're going to get 60. So that's $12,000 more >> for one person >> for that one person. >> And what did they do with these people
down here that don't have a color? They don't have >> over this could potentially impact schools. >> That's all I got.
>> Any other questions on that? >> This got to be everywhere across the state. statewide. There will be no >> there will be there will be no public say and every school they're trying to take it out of the school district's hands, >> right?
>> Then we just have to come up with that money. Well, we're going to happen is we're going to end up cutting teachers >> because we able to all those things. >> So, they won't have a choice. And other districts that pay more, they won't feel
it as much >> if they're in that. Yeah. >> If there are any >> if they pay more. >> Well, if they pay more out there because there are there are some that their schedule is much lower. Oh, yeah. And they would
