Um, want to start off by just sharing a little bit about the class of 2026, who who I've only known for a hot minute. I uh

16
00:04:20.320 --> 00:04:36.080
threw out a survey to our staff though and just what have we appreciated about this group. I just kind of want to share some of those things to start. Um I've appreciated how well-mannered this group is. When asked to do something by and large, they respond just as students should. They find ways to be successful.

17
00:04:36.080 --> 00:04:51.440
They exhibit a strong work ethic. Uh the class of 2026 has been another crew who are there for one another. They hold one another accountable. They support one another with growth. They've been a positive influence at our school and they will be missed. They've grown into solid leaders. This is appreciated more

18
00:04:51.440 --> 00:05:08.080
than they will ever know. Uh we have a lot of dedicated athletes and they've been leaders in their extracurricular activities. And then lastly, a teacher shared an instance from uh when they were freshman. She said uh some boys organized a friendsgiving that they wanted to have happen in her classroom.

19
00:05:08.080 --> 00:05:24.479
And she said, "I watched in a took a moment for each of them to say something that they were thankful for within their friendships. That friendship bond has continued and I wish them all the best. It was one of the best things I've ever witnessed in my teaching career. So >> yeah, in summary, I too I just the the

20
00:05:24.479 --> 00:05:39.600
stabilizing force that our seniors have had in our building has been been pretty cool and that that's felt by us as staff and it's felt in our student body. So we're thankful for this group. Um other people I want to thank our senior class adviserss are Tracy Colgrove and Jamie

21
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:55.840
Cracks and they really take on that role of sincerity and really thankful for that. Uh Tracy's got a senior graduating this year, so I know it's got an enhanced level of meaning for her. Uh Britney Lunde, our high school secretary. She's very instrumental in making everything go. Um Sue Turner, uh

22
00:05:55.840 --> 00:06:12.240
Sue works tirelessly with staff and kids to just support them to get to the finish line. Sue is also pretty instrumental in making the awards night happen, which will be next Wednesday. So you'll see her uh live and on stage then if you're there. Uh lastly, just want to give um thanks to John Gordon and the

23
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:28.479
custodial crew just for the logistics, the preparations, and how they set up. So, lots of people to thank. Calendar updates. Uh we started with the senior class meeting about a little over a month ago in April. Just wanted to cover some details and expectations. cuz I really tried to give the kids a speech

24
00:06:28.479 --> 00:06:45.039
about cherishing the moment and um that hey you know your your high school is going to experience is going to end abruptly and it's going to end permanently and it's forever and I think most of them probably fell asleep as I was >> very uplifting

25
00:06:45.039 --> 00:07:00.560
>> but it was all just just know that hey church the time you have remaining and um but you know I think a lot of our seniors the senior slop and the senior slide is very real and >> yeah they're still in a stage where are hoping to be adults instead of five years down the road when they're like, "What the heck was I thinking?" >> Yeah.

26
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:17.599
>> And it was being a kid was great. >> But I do trust that they'll they'll look back and they'll enjoy the ride here. The last uh last few days they got senior class trip was last week. We had 40 kids go. They had a good time at the Mall of America dinner at Rainforest Cafe. I think the only concern I heard

27
00:07:17.599 --> 00:07:34.759
was that uh they asked Colro and Pra if they could get ear piercings and tattoos while they were down there. And unfortunately our supervisor said no. We didn't want to start any traditions that way. So >> that's what I was going to say. >> Still under my

28
00:07:35.599 --> 00:07:52.880
>> Anyways, it was a good day. >> I would have came back with >> I would have to get his ears pierced if you told me that. >> Cass, you'd be quiet over there. >> Part of it being a good day was and from my perspective was no new piercings. So that that called me weird. Um, next

29
00:07:52.880 --> 00:08:07.919
Wednesday there'll be a first grad practice. Uh, after that, uh, Jenny Wise is doing a nice job of, uh, prepared a senior picnic for our kids, and then there'll be a yearbook signing, and Woods Rivera has been our yearbook adviser this year, and she's really done a nice job with that. Uh, 5:30 is awards

30
00:08:07.919 --> 00:08:23.680
night next Wednesday, followed by Baloria. Dan Johnson's the pastor at Casino Assemblies, and he's he's taken a leadership role in that. Um, next Thursday is a 9:00 am senior walk with kindergarteners, and I think Mike, are you leading the way on that? >> I am. I guess I'm the only retiree.

31
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:39.279
>> Oh boy. >> Oh, sorry. >> And I believe the kindergarten class was my first class here. >> Oh, >> they were either kindergarten. >> The senior class. >> Yeah, senior. They were kindergarteners when I came >> halfway through the year. >> That's crazy.

32
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:54.000
>> And what when is that? I was going to say >> that's next Thursday. 9 a.m. Thursday. >> Thursday night. >> Might change my volunteer day if I don't stay at Thursday. >> And we'll live stream that. We always live stream that. It'd be way funnier to watch you do it.

33
00:08:54.000 --> 00:09:09.760
>> That's a long walk for me. >> Commencement's next Friday. The plan is to have it outside on the football field at 7 and just kind of pray for good weather, please. >> Wonder if you had decided inside or outside. >> Yeah, outside it just kind of seems from what I gather in this community, I think

34
00:09:09.760 --> 00:09:24.560
in most communities, the outdoor ceremony is pretty special. So, yeah, just uh meeting with people about the dock and sound. and know Mike's made sure that mosquitoes are sprayed for and then just that that's a comfortable night. Uh shout out to Eric Espie and Rob Fre love. They have the band and

35
00:09:24.560 --> 00:09:41.360

00:09:57.920 --> 00:10:13.800
meaningful times ahead and looking forward to it. So, >> tears shall commence >> for some of you. >> I'm going to do my best. >> I was able to get through. I cried once last year, but not for my own kid.

39
00:10:30.880 --> 00:10:47.360
at the end of May. Um but I will turn it over to Brian for a director of teaching and learning report. Yeah, I put a little um just a little bit of what's been going on over the last month. Um the exciting part is MCA testing is

40
00:10:47.360 --> 00:11:03.120
done. Um so testing was completed last week with the science test. We're starting fast bridge. So that's our local assessment. We'll collect all that. So hopefully by the curriculum committee meeting, we will have some new and updated data for us to look at. Uh keep in mind that we won't see the

41
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:19.600
reading MCA test. that data that is the new version of the MCH MCA4. They won't release that data until next fall, similar to what they did with the science test last year. So, uh, summer school, uh, we're underway in planning summer school. We sent out

42
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:34.640
invites this last week. Um, summer school will run 8:00 a.m. to 11:30. Um, there isn't camps with that. Um, so it will be po or precoid kind of that same setup for summer school. So, there will be breakfast and lunch that students have

43
00:11:34.640 --> 00:11:50.959
available to them. And um >> and if people have questions on how kids qualify, it's based off of winter. >> It's based off of winter fastbridge. Yep. And then we'll do the spring fast bridge testing. And so if there's another student that is of a concern or we we will ask for that out to families

44
00:11:50.959 --> 00:12:06.639
too that um we have space for summer school. And if you'd like to sign your kid up, you can. >> The meals. >> Yeah. for I see it's for all students attending breakfast and lunch. >> Historically, kids zero to 18 can come and eat in the summer.

45
00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:23.519
>> Yeah. So, we have a summer lunch program and so families can >> come all summer long. >> We have the district leadership team coming up. Um big chunk of that will be teamworks presenting about our process for strategic planning. And so, they're

46
00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:39.519
going to be here and talk about that. I know you guys have this on the agenda as well a little bit later. Um, so her name is Brenda Dianani. She came and talked to the admin team. She's going to be here for the district leadership team as well. Part of it is cultivating and and trying to get some groups of people

47
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:55.040
together as well so that they can start putting groups together. So, um, career programming, we met with our last career cohort meeting of the year, uh, with school or school links and I've talked a lot about us using school links for career programming and getting kids

48
00:12:55.040 --> 00:13:11.120
thinking about the future, what they want to do. Um, every year we just continue to get more engagement through there. We have 97% of high school students active within school links. 94% of them have completed two or more assessments. Um, so we meet in a home

49
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:28.399
room style one to two times a month. So it's not where they're meeting on this every day. Um, so we've really made a lot of progress in getting kids in there and looking at that. U, we had 31 scholarship opportunities that were posted in the system. Um, and then

50
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:43.040
others, some of those scholarship pieces have multiple scholarships within that application, but there are 31 applications that were posted out. Um and then our industry partners who come for our workplace Wednesdays and they are logging and putting their information into the system too. So it's

51
00:13:43.040 --> 00:14:00.079
really cool. Uh VPK um we were awarded similar to last year an after the fact piece with the state of Minnesota. We were awarded uh this year 15 VPK seats. And so we followed a similar process. Um, so some families within our school

52
00:14:00.079 --> 00:14:18.399
readiness program, they're based on criteria, their kid was eligible to be a BPK seat and so they'll get a refund of the fees that they had paid after January 1st. >> 40

53
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:32.959
last year. >> Way more last year. >> Yeah. Yeah. So >> why was it so much less? It just >> they uh schools took a Yeah. They kind of go through a a flowchart in terms of any extra seats that they have left and

54
00:14:32.959 --> 00:14:48.000
they just start bidding them out. By the time it got to us, we had 15 left. >> What do we have to do or be or how do we get determined to be some of the first ones to know at some point? >> The biggest piece I think with our

55
00:14:48.000 --> 00:15:07.519
criteria is is free and reduced lunch. Sure. So we're not up far enough to automatically really >> um and that is now on a fouryear cycle. So it will we have three more years before we can apply again.

56
00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:23.600
>> So do we get 15 seats each year? >> No, this is just for this year and then next year they'll do the same process again. >> I thought it was like four years. >> It's kind of a frustrating process. missing. I would >> I would say so if you have to go back to refund, I'd say that's a correct itself. >> Yep.

57
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:39.760
>> But we do let families know >> not to some of them still choose to do it >> because you do get some >> you get a discount if you pay discount, but if you waited, you might get reimbursed >> the whole thing. >> If you don't wait, then you don't get anything. >> Correct.

58
00:15:39.760 --> 00:15:54.959
>> So we did let families know that beginning of the year. >> As long as they know. >> Okay. Um, next path, I just want to put that out there to people. So, I talk a lot about Proliftic. It's our data warehouse. It's where all of our information and test information goes

59
00:15:54.959 --> 00:16:09.600
into. We do a lot of decision making off of it. Uh, Prolic is sun setting and the new version is coming through and it's called Next Path. Uh, it's got a it's got all of the same pieces of Prolic and a whole lot more. So, we're excited to

60
00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:27.120
kind of see that come online. Um, so there'll be new reports and stuff coming out. They'll be even more flashy than the other ones were. So, um, and then the last couple, uh, open meeting law this week, um, Thursday, I'm going to that. I think Sarah is registered as

61
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:42.240

64
00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:34.720

69
00:18:43.919 --> 00:19:00.799
talked about heating, cooling, windows, sizes of things, all that kind of stuff. So, moving forward is continuing to work on it. So, nothing new that I'm >> just the first meeting. >> Just the first meeting, lots of ideas, lots of comments, just trying to

70
00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:17.200
>> We did have a a user group meeting with choir and band. So, we've had one of those. We had our second user group meeting today for weight room and wrestling room. So they'll be updated at our Wednesday meeting on that and they'll also update some info from the

Personnel did not meet but >> we do have some items there. Um the first item, Madam Chair, is readact update. It was in your board packet. >> And this we've already this is not a big change. We already had theou. We just

74
00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:27.120
updated it because the wording changed from u uh >> instead of saying specifically letters >> letters to read act training. Okay. >> So the secondary has a different >> it's basically a word wordage change. So at the end of it we we want to update

75
00:20:27.120 --> 00:20:44.960
theou and we'll have to have you sign it to the and the Cassandra afterwards. So, >> but I don't need to read it out loud. >> No, it's everything's the same. It just changed the word letters to read act training. So, >> well, I would make a motion to update the read actuou to be current with what

we actually needed to say. >> Second. >> Any questions, comments, or concerns? >> No. >> All those in favor? >> Opposed? Passes. Uh student service survey presentation

77
00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:17.520
year up >> goody. All right. Um so at the fall of the year um we did a survey with the student body. Um the the sixth grades through the seniors um at lunch kind of just kind of get that out there. I I let them kind of do their own thing. I

78
00:21:17.520 --> 00:21:33.039
promised them ice cream if they got it done. Um if they got to 33% of the student by that that ate lunch, they did not make that amount. got 125 and we lost first place in the state to soccer center by three students.

79
00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:49.679
>> So for spring for spring I I may have shamelessly cheated a little bit and brought candy in to entice them to take survey which we then got um to 225 responses. >> I like how the 5% is the 12th grade. They're like ah we're not going to care this next year.

80
00:21:49.679 --> 00:22:07.039
>> Statewide participation was at 587. 225 those were ours. So, um the the state graph looks amazingly a lot like ours. Um the big changes from uh and in your packets there I kind of condensed all the information out of the five pages. The last three are the kind of the the

81
00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:23.600
meat and potatoes of it. Um so like I said there was a difference of 125 to 225 uh uh students. Um most of these numbers surprisingly were pretty much the same. Um, I did get quite a rise in, um, if they want to eat

82
00:22:23.600 --> 00:22:39.840
breakfast, um, over the course of the the winter. Uh, kids started eating more breakfast it looks like. Um, which is what I was going for. So, that worked out pretty well. Um, >> have you changed something to entice them to eat it? >> I have tried a lot of things. >> It must be working. Whatever you're

83
00:22:39.840 --> 00:22:55.200
doing. >> Um, the biggest part that I've changed so far that's wrong with most kids has been the yogurt parfets in the morning. Uh, fresh fruit yogurt >> and they're the most popular. >> They are the most popular. They they really like them and I'm been getting them in pretty pretty consistently. So,

84
00:22:55.200 --> 00:23:10.799
>> um >> they like their breakfast sandwiches too, right? >> Mhm. >> They say they like breakfast sandwich, but they don't sell very many of those. >> Okay. >> Um like the numbers from the the fall survey to the spring survey didn't change much as far as what they're looking for. Um the the numbers are

85
00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:25.600
pretty consistently across. So, I think we're on the right path for getting what they want. And that has been reflected in my next year's uh menu choices. On the last page where it says student dining trends and action plans is kind of the the big part there. Um areas of

86
00:23:25.600 --> 00:23:43.039
strength, 86% of response uh eat school lunch once a week during the fall survey. That's obviously gone up. Um 80% 2% is response satisfied with the friendliness of staff. That also has gone uh down a little bit.

87
00:23:43.039 --> 00:24:04.000
>> Right. Yeah. >> Are we reading the same survey? He went to 96. >> He's he's reading last ball last 96. >> Yeah. >> And

88
00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:19.120
um kind of things I'm looking forward to going and doing. Uh the bottom pages there, you can kind of see the um school breakfastes are still my main focus on trying to get more kids to eat. Uh that's our lowest number both in the elementary and high school. And the key there has not yet been broken. I have a

89
00:24:19.120 --> 00:24:36.640
couple plans for next next year as well. So, some good things coming up. Um, not too many surprises in the survey. So, is a massive log of information I get to use to to do different stuff. So, >> just to satisfy my own curiosity,

90
00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:51.520
respondents would like to see American, Mexican, and Italian. So, they want >> a burger, a taco, and spaghetti every day. pretty much pizza, not spaghetti as much as pizza. >> So, what I was curious of what they're what they're

91
00:24:51.520 --> 00:25:13.120
>> what they actually thought what each of those things were. Do they get the square pizzas like you get >> everyone in the chili and appauce or not applesauce, apple crisp always saying together. >> But I have had a very fun year. Uh this

92
00:25:13.120 --> 00:25:28.080
has been a lovely experience and I really have enjoyed the students here. Students like the senior classes have been awesome. Um everyone coming through the whole way through has been very friendly and very happy. I' I've gotten lots of little thank you notes for the staff members throughout the year. So

93
00:25:28.080 --> 00:25:49.679
it's been a lot of fun. So I really we had a good time. the breakfast club next year. >> The days we have those. >> And Mike said that uh he me and Ryan had breakfast down there or lunch down there the other day and for $5 they got a

94
00:25:49.679 --> 00:26:05.039
spectacular meal. So, good job. I have to try that. >> So, this month has got a lot of fun things going on. The kids have asked for certain things all year long. Um, including chicken Alfredo, which is going to be on Thursday. Next Friday is their baked potato bar that they've been asking for. >> Nice.

95
00:26:05.039 --> 00:26:20.240
>> Got the last month kind of give them exactly what they want. So, we'll see how that goes. >> Awesome. Thank you. >> You did get props for the BRs, by the way. >> Did you one out of my two? >> One out of you, too. Um, I was going to bring that up. We did have a BR feed with our grill that we bought here. We

96
00:26:20.240 --> 00:26:36.720
did burgers and BRZ in the fall and I burned up the grill. Long story short, we needed a fire extinguisher. But we didn't do burgers this time. Uh we did do BRZ, but I was going to say um we went through over 200 BR, you know, and

97
00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:52.559
um >> I was going to say I think Ryan helped me that day. I bet you over I would say 90% of kids always said thank you. >> Absolutely. >> When they came out and got their brought. I mean I mean I I me made the comment to Ryan is like every every kid

98
00:26:52.559 --> 00:27:09.279
is saying thank you you know it's like awesome >> pretty >> uh we are going to do um we've kind of spoiled the middle school high school twice now we have not done anything for the elementary so >> we are going to do that um >> in a week or may on on a Monday coming

99
00:27:09.279 --> 00:27:26.240
up we're going to do burgers but we have learned a few things about the grill that if you put water in the bottom tray it keeps the grease fire down. >> Interesting. Not out. >> Not out, but down. Uh, but we're going to do burgers for the elementary here in a couple weeks.

100
00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:41.279
>> Burgers with a little fire extinguisher dust on them. Taste really yummy. >> Delicious. >> Yeah. So, we're going to do something for the elementary coming up here. >> Awesome. >> Uh, next we're going to move on to uh

101
00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:57.440
approving the food service contract. >> I'll turn it over to Missy. Uh, we did a RFQ or RFP and we did have some information to share with you. We did have three bids back. If you look at Missy's little handout there, she's going to go over at the very bottom of

102
00:27:57.440 --> 00:28:14.480
the information and what we have to do with MD and all that. I'll turn it over to Missy and then we'll go from there. >> Perfect. Thank you. >> So, by law, we are required to go out every five years for a food service RFP. So, this was our year to do that. Um, we

103
00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:30.720
were able to get three bids back. So, it is quite a rigorous pro process. So, in the RFP that we wrote up, we had to, you have to do like a pre-bid meeting. So, they get to come on site, look at the kitchens, look at the equipment, ask any

104
00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:47.360
questions. Um, if they do not come on site, they don't get to bid. So, we had three people come on site, we had three people bid. somebody thought that said they were going to bid but didn't bother to come on site by chance. Is there >> I had somebody reach out afterwards and ask if they could bid. They were like,

105
00:28:47.360 --> 00:29:04.159
"Oh, we couldn't make it to the pre-bid meeting, but can we still bid?" But because of how the RFP was written, I said, "Unfortunately, you can't. It's a requirement." So, so the biders were Eleior, which is our current food service rep, Taher, and SF.

106
00:29:04.159 --> 00:29:20.960
So on the chart at below, so you have to put in your RFP what you're going to be grading them on. So we give maximum points for the price. So that was like 40 points. Everything has to equal 100. So 40 points for price. Um district

107
00:29:20.960 --> 00:29:37.600
manager support. So that was 10 points. Integrity and reliability of the project projected operating budget, that's 10 points. A manager candidate, which is seven points. employee training and development which is eight points. Marketing marketing and merchandising

108
00:29:37.600 --> 00:29:52.960
plan that's five points. Nutrition education is seven points. The guarantee to the food service account is five points. And then menu minimum requirements is eight points. So that equals your 100 points. So that's what it's all graded on. So you can kind of

109
00:29:52.960 --> 00:30:09.520
see. So Taher in the graph is green, SF is blue, and the pinkish or magenta is Elor. So you can kind of see they were all kind of close but point-wise Elor came out ahead. So overall we went with Elor.

110
00:30:09.520 --> 00:30:25.120
>> So why doesn't it say over 250 here is >> that's what I was wondering too. They all add up to 100. Why does the 300 is the max point >> 0 to 300? >> That is

111
00:30:25.120 --> 00:30:43.679
so the graph goes by I think the graph goes by dollar amounts. I don't think it's set numerically. Sorry, I didn't notice that when I created the graph. >> I wonder. >> It's almost like the total proposed price is on that one drive and then

112
00:30:43.679 --> 00:31:00.640
everything else is lower. >> Yeah, I'll fix >> it. Must be that would make sense if it was based off of your the financial side of it and that's why that's so high because that would be >> Yeah, because even the total proposed price it's more than $100,000. So, >> hey, I was like $100,000. Okay. Yeah.

113
00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:18.159
No, it's way more than that. >> That's reasonable. Um, so with within the requirements, we had to have three people that were grading it. So, it was Mike, Ryan, and I that graded it. Um, we can't we can't tell

114
00:31:18.159 --> 00:31:34.799
each other what we're what points we're giving. So, we can open the bids, we can look at them all at the same time, but we can't talk to each other about what how we're grading each one. It's very specific. >> Nice. >> Then everything goes down to MDE. >> Be fair.

115
00:31:34.799 --> 00:31:50.240
>> And then they have to look at it and make sure that it was done appropriately and then it comes back and then we have to do the contract and that has to get sent to. >> It's seems like a a lot.

116
00:31:50.240 --> 00:32:06.000
>> It it was a lot. Good grief. >> It's a lot of manpower to do a food service RFP. >> We're good for the next five years. Well, if we say yes. >> Correct. Correct.

117
00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:23.120
>> Yeah. >> Mike wants to >> It sounds like a July problem. >> Um I will say, you know, usually when you do food service contract, there are three reasons to change companies. one,

118
00:32:23.120 --> 00:32:38.320
uh, quality of the food, get a lot of complaints, management, or if you're losing money, right? We we aren't losing money. We keep trying to find ways to spend the money that we do make. And we've been very happy with Ellier and and the menus and the changes that

119
00:32:38.320 --> 00:32:54.799
they've made for us. So, you know, with those things in mind, those are the reasons why you kind of really look to change and those three things are not happening for us. So, I would recommend that you >> uh approve this contract. Would somebody like to make a motion?

120
00:32:54.799 --> 00:33:09.519
>> I'll make that motion. >> I'll second. >> No. >> Now it was Anybody questions, comments, or concerns? >> I probably should go to this table. >> I would add to that they did include references in the bids and so we were

121
00:33:09.519 --> 00:33:26.799
able to reach out to some of the other schools that are using some of the other food service companies to get some feedback. So >> it is this process the reason Managa came here to look at ours. >> They're looking to out bid outsource theirs currently in house and okay

122
00:33:26.799 --> 00:33:43.440
>> they're looking to outsource >> yeah they very happy. >> So all right uh any other questions? All those in favor? >> Opposed? Motion passes. Welcome back five years. >> Look forward to it.

123
00:33:43.440 --> 00:33:59.440
>> All right. uh and personnel didn't actually meet. So, uh we have nothing else. So, I'm going to move on to policy. >> We did not meet. But consider this the second reading of

124
00:33:59.440 --> 00:34:14.720
410, Family Medical Leave Act. Policy number 503, Student Attendance. Policy 515, Protection and Privacy of Pupil Records. Policy 530, Immunization Requirements. Policy 615, testing

125
00:34:14.720 --> 00:34:29.679
accommodation modifications. Policy 701, establishment and adaptation of school district policy. And policy 721, uniform grant guidance policy. And then the second reading for the

126
00:34:29.679 --> 00:34:47.359
following 533 wellness and 534 school meals policy. Are there any questions propos on those policies? All right, >> Madam Chair, I've not had any feedback on any of them at this point. >> Okay. Anything else from policy?

127
00:34:47.359 --> 00:35:04.839
>> That's it. >> Thank you. Budget. >> We did not eat, >> but they see you have something else. >> We could have just had you stay. >> We do need to set a meeting again at the end if you see that. So afterwards, if we can set a meeting for our budget.

128
00:35:05.599 --> 00:35:22.400
>> So the annual MASBO conference, I attended that last week. Um it was really good. They had a lot of different sessions. So that's it was good. They had a record year. So they had over 500 attendees at the conference this year. So okay. Um current budget spent we're

129
00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:40.640
in a month of month 11 of 12 in this fiscal year. So we have spent 78% of the budget which we are 1% higher than we were last year at this time. State legislature. Many bills have been brought forward to the legislature. They are in review and set to adjourn May

130
00:35:40.640 --> 00:35:56.400
19th. So there's a couple of things in there that could affect schools. So we're waiting to hear what is decided at the state level. BPK Ryan already talked about. So we will move forward with um getting letters out to the families and

131
00:35:56.400 --> 00:36:13.200
the refunds for the those that are eligible for those 15 seats. And then we just talked about the food service RFP. So >> perfect. Awesome. Anybody have any questions for me? >> All right. Thank you. >> Anything else from budget?

132
00:36:13.200 --> 00:36:30.040
>> Nope. >> Thank you. >> All right. Moving on to other like we have a DT meeting. >> Yep. Schedule for May 19th. Um >> yes, I'll be there. >> You're welcome.

133
00:36:30.640 --> 00:36:48.560
>> Uh discussion on board work sessions. It's been suggested that um at least a couple times a year we moved something board work sessions so that the whole board can have input and um discussion

134
00:36:48.560 --> 00:37:05.760
on different topics whatever's come up. This is something This is something that I I've actually asked for just with there being so many moving parts with um Ryan coming in and as we have a building project and as we continue to grow, I

135
00:37:05.760 --> 00:37:19.680
just think it's really important that we get at least one on the books in the next couple of months so that we just make sure that we all are in the know of what's going on and make just continue to improve ourselves on the board.

136
00:37:19.680 --> 00:37:36.480
I I'll be honest in saying that um I think at least one or two a year would be a great idea because that way we all know where everybody else is standing on and it's not compartmentalized down one or two and beyond that that's up to

137
00:37:36.480 --> 00:37:53.440
everybody else if we have more but one or two I'm >> yeah if we can get one on the schedule and go from there >> I think >> when would you like to set the first one. Do you want to do it after >> June?

138
00:37:53.440 --> 00:38:08.480
>> I think you're talking a July one problem >> because you made the comment with Ryan coming on board. >> SO I REALLY >> TRANSITIONAL PIECE SUPERINTENDENT. The transitional piece. >> We can do one in June. >> I think June would be

139
00:38:08.480 --> 00:38:24.320
>> you would like to do one in June. >> Um >> you're on vacation. >> Can we do the first week of June? >> You have your regular board meeting on the 8th. You could do it uh >> on the same day as >> that's what I was wondering. Can it be an hour before

140
00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:42.640
>> you have for meetings? >> Well, the only thing would be >> activities, but I think we're going to try to do that in the afternoon. >> Yeah. What else are we going to have to driving by then? >> What are you talking about? >> I mean, is there going to be a budget for budget? >> Is there anything for budget? Will be there be anything for policy? Will be

141
00:38:42.640 --> 00:38:58.320
facilities? Will there be >> prior happening prior to the next So you're going to want to do a I'll lump it all into one. So we're going to have to change the facilities committee completely for May 13th then >> I mean you want we had one so I could I

142
00:38:58.320 --> 00:39:13.359
guess I would suggest you continue having those meetings and on the first one maybe it's just an update on a flow of how we're going to do what we do. >> Fair. I'm just asking >> because work sessions are usually work sessions have an agenda >> and they have something to talk about.

143
00:39:13.359 --> 00:39:30.480
Correct. My view as of if you're asking for one in June, it would be just a at this point >> catching up things from things that you would be talking about at the board meeting, but you have more chance to talk about prior to the board meeting and the transitional of what you guys are looking for between us.

144
00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:47.119
>> That's my talk of what you would maybe be talking about in June. I >> in my opinion I think if we do it in July >> it'd be a lot more easier with oncoming for Ryan >> because we're all in favor and Ryan will be there and then Mr. Malberg will not be there. Nothing against Mr. Malberg

145
00:39:47.119 --> 00:40:03.280
but I'm just saying >> I told you it sounded like a July problem to me but you wouldn't listen. >> That way he is more comfortable and we're more comfortable and those one-on- ones if he wants those one-on- ones he'll be able to have the meeting accordingly. So >> July is usually a pretty short agenda.

146
00:40:03.280 --> 00:40:19.040
Um, your typical your July board meeting is set for July 13th. >> The week before is the weekend of the 4th. You're gone on the 13th. >> I'm gone the 10th through the 20th. >> And I've gone the first through the 10th. >> No. >> Get off on 4th of July. I would like to

147
00:40:19.040 --> 00:40:34.240
know what that's like. >> Not the beverage business. Maybe July is not a good one. >> I'll be gone too. >> August. Well, I need an application. We're not having Are you gone? Are you gone on the 13th? >> I look

148
00:40:34.240 --> 00:40:51.160
>> because you have >> No, >> you said you're done. >> I'm home. >> Okay. So, you have five board members for the 13th. >> Oh, you have five. >> Oh, you're the first. >> Yeah. >> I'll be back.

149
00:40:52.240 --> 00:41:08.160
>> Do you want to look at doing it in August then or do you want to do it July end of July like the 27th? Let's do it July 3rd. >> I'm off. >> What about July 27th? That's >> July 27th.

150
00:41:08.160 --> 00:41:25.680
>> That's two weeks prior to the next board meeting. >> July 27th. >> And that's a Monday. >> That's a Monday. >> In the afternoon, could we do it? >> Let me see if I work. >> I would think you could do it in the afternoon. >> Well, that's also getting close to when we can start talking kindergarten numbers or teacher numbers and hiring or

151
00:41:25.680 --> 00:41:41.920
things like that, too. So, so activities or athletics, make sure you have something for that July 27th. >> Well, it doesn't have to be every committee. >> No, you might not have anything to talk about. You know, you just might >> I think we should each have a synopsis for each committee.

152
00:41:41.920 --> 00:41:56.640
>> Yeah. Well, >> just a little something going on either. No, we don't need to have meetings on here's what's happening synopsis for each committee and then we can have a discussion around that. What does that look like? >> Correct. >> Right. So if you want to do a couple of the year, what does it look like? We

153
00:41:56.640 --> 00:42:13.680
could set that ahead of time. >> There's your agenda. >> Becky, do you work that day? >> I work that day. >> Okay. >> 5:30. >> 5:30 is better because I don't know where what location I'm at like right off hand. >> Sure. 5:30. >> Technically, we have to post it. We have

154
00:42:13.680 --> 00:42:31.079
to post it, you know, agenda and post it on the calendar. And >> just set it full send at 5:30. July 27th at 5:30. >> Yes, please. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> I'll change that from all day to 5:30.

155
00:42:33.440 --> 00:42:48.960
>> Okay. >> Yeah. >> That'll be a real good discussion. >> Yeah, it'll be great. >> Okay. Superintendent report. >> Uh, a couple items. Um, I just want to clarify, uh, last month

156
00:42:48.960 --> 00:43:04.480
at the board meeting, I talked about, uh, some issues with the that Ed Minnesota is bringing up with statewide insurance and statewide pay. That's the n that's the statewide, not pillager local union. So, that doesn't mean that they necessarily agree

157
00:43:04.480 --> 00:43:20.720
with it or whatever. It was uh, just to clarify, that wasn't our local group that was pushing those things. It was the statewide in Minnesota. So, I just wanted to clarify that >> when that still affects them because they take what >> correct, but it's not them pushing >> what they were asking for. When does that go?

158
00:43:20.720 --> 00:43:37.599
>> It may not go into effect at all. It's all legislative if the legislative agrees to it and they got to find funding or not. >> And we'll know this by May 19th. Is that stuff >> possibly? I don't think this neither one of them are going to happen this year. I don't see that. >> They're laying the groundwork for down the road, I think. Yeah.

159
00:43:37.599 --> 00:43:55.280
>> Um, just a reminder, the last student day is May 29th. It's a 1:00 dismissal and then we have some staff stuff after that. Kindergarten graduation is on May 28th at 1 pm in the CTC center. Uh as Mr. Reeves

160
00:43:55.280 --> 00:44:19.200
talked about, baloria and scholarships on Wednesday 28th at 5:30. Um yeah, that's all I got. >> All right. Any questions for Mr. Thank you, sir. We look forward to a very enjoyable one next month.

161
00:44:19.200 --> 00:44:34.400
>> Yes, >> it better come with lots of bells and whistles. >> What are you bringing? >> Presents. Fireworks. >> Fireworks. Maybe a little right now. I would bring fireworks. >> No fireworks. >> Be great.

162
00:44:34.400 --> 00:44:50.000
>> All right. Um, at this time we are going to move into a closed session to discuss some property. So, can I get a motion to move into the closed session? I'll make that motion. >> I'll second.
