One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Silence your phones. Are there any additions or the agenda? We'll add under personnel number two uh intro for to our new food director,
Chris Glassman, who's here today. Give opportunity for him to talk. Oh, I told him he was going to ask doctor in visitor comments. I was going to ask lots of questions. We'll put it there. We had a whole thing. All right.
And I would entertain a motion to accept the agenda with the adjustment. I'll make that motion. I'll second. Any questions or comments? All those in favor? I opposed. Passes. Mr. Comments. I guess
no, you we put a whole new section in. So Jamie, anything today? You're got a section too. Well, welcome. Consider the consent agenda. We have the minutes of the previous monthly board
meeting, uh, monthly cash flow including investments, monthly bills paid, monthly bills paid in the activities accounts, donations, which we'd like to thank Piller Booster Club and Five Star Seamless for their donations. Uh we also
have the personnel summary sheet and um also adapting the MSBA policy of 534 on school meal policies. Can I get a motion to accept the agenda as presented?
I'll second. Okay. Any questions or comments? Virginia, would you like to explain the meal policy that we're accepting or that's in the agenda? Um, sure.
I don't recall what it was basically the second second meal. People only could buy a second meal. Why do I have to go over the second? We remember we forgot it on the agenda last time. Oh, that's what it was. We forgot. So we added it to the consent
agenda. Any other questions or comments? All those in favor? I opposed. Motion passes. Special board reports uh with possible action. We'll start with personnel committee. Uh we did not meet
but we're going to be scheduling sometime in September. Right. And so then we will just move on to introducing our new food service director, Chris. Board members, madam chair, we have Chris Glasman with us tonight who is our new food service director for K through
12 earlier. So I know he's probably got some info to share and we have some questions for him. So it's all yours, Chris. I want to start off by saying this is such fun. I have uh I've had uh two full weeks of of getting to know staff and
faculty and then one week of just being bombarded with hundreds of faces and it's been a lot of fun. Um the kids have all been great. I haven't had anybody throw anything at me yet so I don't think I'm doing anything horribly wrong. Um but uh I I am learning still and I will keep improving. Um right now
currently we have the schedule uh the menu that's up there is the one that was from my predecessor. Um, mine will start probably in I want to say November. Um, and I'm gonna try and adhere more towards Elor's Standard. Um, which is some pretty interesting stuff including
some global foods and some stuff around. So, lot more. I know you guys have talked to me about a lot more uh prepared meals. Yeah. Like scratch cooking. Awesome. The girls have already uh seen that I I
make them do things they don't normally want to do. Um, we had a heirloom tomato and corn uh kind of salad dish that that uh nobody wanted to make and they said no one would eat and then the fifth graders came through the line down there and nobody even touched it and uh and then they sample a little bit of it out
and then pretty soon there's all kinds of people taking a whole bunch. So nice. We're going to have some new foods out there. So that's awesome. Spectacular. And I've I've heard only good things about you and you smile and you're welcoming. So just so you know that's good. That is part of my personality
unfortunately. We're not enjoying it. And you we did have a question from an earlier meeting about the grab and go. Yeah. And we had some issues with the meat delivery. So that was coming tomorrow. So that those grab and goes will have
more came today. So it'll be in there tomorrow. Okay. There was some issues there. So spectacular. Any other questions? Well, welcome. Welcome. and we will move on to curriculum.
Uh we did not meet but we did have a DLT meeting and I'll just try on um so I put the DT on the report as well and just so little things as we start the school year new uh our PLC work is
going again. Um we continue to have some specialized groups just like we did with school and we have our elementary grade level teams. Um so their focus continues to look at um instructional improvement. So tier one instruction and with the
training that we did this summer around Minnesota MTSS that is uh very much aligned with that process. So they're looking at um how do we improve the second one there update over the summer we installed 71 interactive
panels. So the smartboards went away and uh New Line interactive panel is the product that we put on. Uh New Line is a Americanmade product and one of the best things from a maintenance standpoint is they will replace and maintain
components of it where before we were told with the Smartboard that well doesn't work so you'll have to buy a new one. Um so we were pretty excited to have a maintenance program for the actual boards themselves. Do people like them? Um, we're getting there.
That was my next question. They're different from the Smartboards, so learning the functions is going to take some time. Um, so I would say we're still at a pretty wide spectrum. It's going from like an a little bit. A little bit. It actually pretty
pretty good example. The Borne is basically a giant Android phone. So it is a big and so it takes a little bit of time to but the functionality is it is directly connected to our Google login
where the Smartboard it basically projected what you had on the the computer. This is a computer by itself. That's cool. So um as we go through that we're on a fiveyear lease with that and that lease then is warrantied for those five years.
So all maintenance that's on it, it's all covered. Which that was our question with the smartboards is about the lifespan. How long do they last? Um about five years. Okay. And last year our tickets um I don't know the exact numbers but spiked. Okay. In terms of
the number of issues that were happening and they were starting to fall apart. Well, some of them smart, but it's been up for longer than five years. Yeah. You may have had a tumble from previously or previous before kind of co kind of you guys purchased right before it was right as we were doing I think it
was the budget for the whole Oh sure remodel we did I think that was thrown into that with all those classrooms so they made about five years about four years is when we started to see kind of
the issues start to pop up course and stuff start to burn out So, I think the one of the biggest pieces was the the maintenance was a big sell. Yeah. Because we could send the component, they would fix it. If they didn't, they would send us a board within a couple days and put it up.
Um, even if it was a temporary board. So, I'm thinking like just kind of what I said to Brian too is like a lot I see so many things change in five years. Just continue to update. And I think and the nice thing about it is you you have a set number to budget though. Yes. Whereas every year you're setting money
up. Yep. And then instead of all of a sudden you're five, you got to come up with $400,000. Instead, it's a very even budgeting set number which helps budget. Same thing we're doing the Chromebooks. We got a set budget. You know what? You got to find
you don't get hit with that one big like our football coach does with helmets. All of a sudden, I need 100 helmets, right? What is the brand of these? They're called attack right now. They and it is the the fiveyear piece
also keeps us updated and so when you think about the changes in it runs updates but after five years we will be looking at is there changes are there things that are new where a lot of times we can get really stagnant and we
don't update and follow uh we did have you don't want to update something that you might change something you know how to run so that my husband running an update on his phone. God forbid. Don't touch those updates because it'll mess up your phone.
Um we did have a district leadership team and so it was our beginning of the year piece. We looked at some data from the previous year. We talked about um draft goals for this year. Uh we decided to we are going to do our fall testing which the testing window opens this
week. Um that worked really well last year. We did it because it was the first time we had Fastbridge. So, we held off and we set it after we had that initial testing window done. We have drafts. We're going to update them based off of where our school scores end up for this
fall, this beginning, and set those goals then for the rest of the year. We had many of our grade levels meet that goal or exceed that goal that we had set for the year last year. So, we're going to run it again. Do it again.
So, I talked about number four. And then the last one, just early childhood. They have a new curriculum. They're starting through Scholastic. It's pre-K on my way. And so, they are getting that going. They did curriculum writing over the summer as well. And then they have a workshop coming up. They have a we have an annual um preschool or early
childhood fall conference that Source does. It's right in their backyard. And so, they will all be there for that, which is really great. and on a weekend or they do it on a Friday and so we actually Josh builds it into the schedule and so that Friday they don't
have school and so the nice thing ours go with um to that conference and yeah I went last year with them. It was a really good conference. They bring a lot of a lot of great folks in. Any other questions for Ryan?
All right. Thank you so much. Anything else from curriculum? Oh, we need to set a meeting uh after the meet after I think we got a date October 7th I think but um we'll check on it after
policy we did not activities we go back in a second policy I do have to visit with you about something after the trouble activities on activities uh we did on me but I'm going to make a motion that we accept the invitation to
to join the granite Ridge conference for the 2027 2028 school year. Is there a second? Any questions, comments or concerns? This is just for bigger Yes. better opportunities
for our school. So, so one question I had is on the sheet that they showed um it showed like the current schools, but then there's the the options of either north and south or big school and households. That would be only if they added some more schools.
Okay. So, we don't know what direction that's going to go, but they're going to recruit and try to get 10 schools and then that would do something like that. But right now, I did like that they had laid that out that the possibilities of what could come because we wanted conference that we're
in. It's going to do a whole this whole thing is going to just trickle down. Yeah. And how many of these schools on that piece of paper are in this granite rating conference right now? No, they have seven schools. So, you're just saying if they get more, they'll try to do if they expand to 10.
Yep. What's Yeah. What other schools are they trying to get? Maybe holding forward. Yes. I'm asking you. That's the first time he's ever asked if he could be able to talk.
I didn't even know he was in here. What schools? I'm sorry. Do we have any idea? So, uh, what is the average travel time for the kids? Because I know I've gotten asked that already. So, if you look at if you actually look at it, they give you the exact amount where
you're going to average for that. I just wanted to say that because I've been announced three times. I would say the average currently we're deploying most of those already. A lot of them already. Um so like in our conference now our two furthest trips
are Mills and Monaga which is an hour. Here it will be um Malaca and Foley. Malaca will be an hour and 20 and Foley will be an hour and 10. So not much different. Yeah. And we already play them on an every other year basis. So it's really not
Peekquat's the closest of any of them. Like Verdale would be our closest encounter. Peekquat's actually closer than Mdale. So we pick up a little bit there. Little Falls is not that far away. Piers and we already play them on a lot of sports. The biggest advantage to it is the lower levels. Um I did talk
to Rushlo at Piers. Their AD was very similar to us. They went probably four or five years ago and he said the biggest push for them was we lose in in our current conference which has been very good for us. Uh but we lose a lot of lower level games like volleyball right now we have four junior high
teams. We'll have four junior high softball teams in the spring. Uh a lot of those schools right now just they only have one or two and so getting enough opportunities or we'll lose a C they won't have a C squad team. Um so we just we lose out on a lot of those lower level opportunities. So, it will be a
tougher conference. Um, absolutely. But, um, that those are all teams that we're going to play in the in the section playoff time, but also when they're kids aren't allowed to play because they don't have the they don't get the practice and the
buildup and so the other piece of it too is they have a lot more fine arts activities. They have a one act. They have a one act day. They have a speech meet. They have musical contest in the within the conference which leadership parking does not have
knowledgeable leadership. They have a leadership conference for the conference every year. So there's other things other than just athletics that's also by those activities would be I feel it's giving our students more opportunity. We do not currently
will we be the smallest school in this right now. second to the smallest. Yeah, right now we're number seven out of the eight, but pretty similar in size most of them. Yeah, there's a couple that are a little bit bigger, but most of them are within a couple hundred some kids.
What does Pquat? I don't have the sheet in front of me, but our enrolling number was 322. Um, Pequats I want to say is like are they what are they? 538. 538. Yours is 349. for 298. Kon's 258 302.
But keep in mind that's our current average right now. And in two years an eighth grader up in high school, right? We have the 117s coming and we'll be probably in the middle of the pack. Y. All right. Any other questions,
comments? How come this year was picked? Like is that just how long it takes to kind of shuffle everything around? Good question. We have to give the current conference a one-year notice. to leave. So this wouldn't count as the one year like right now. You have to have one calendar year after
should have announc like if we were if we would have known in the middle of August it have to be July July. The the high school league does a full realignment in two years for every school and so it lines up really nicely
with that full realignment section realignment. Um, and then it also gives two years for the programs to get their associations, their future programs up and running too. But so when that's when we go into it, everything is off the
ground floor and ready to run. Is Little Falls in this. Yes. Oh, so the co-ops are all good and good. Any other questions? Okay. All those in favor? I opposed.
Motion passes. Anything else from activities? One last thing on that. They will now vote on it. Their conference will vote. I think it's on Wednesday. Go to that meeting. So, and then once they accept us, which they will because they've invited us, we would then
yeah, they find out who our chair is. You never you never know. You never I serve on other boards with all those people. They love me. So then we would inform the park region that we would be leaving. So that would be next. That
would be our next step. And all of those five voices needed. Anything else from activities? Uh no madam chair. Thank you. Facilities. Yeah. I got a couple things for you guys though. Um update on the wait room. I do
have a meeting scheduled in September with Lakewood. So, they did discuss the wait room at their board meeting here about a week ago. So, um at that board meeting, they were kind of gave the direction for Lisa, their president, to
kind of meet with me and come up with a a plan of what they can do. So, hopefully by the end of the month, I'll have a better idea of what they can do. And then I would come back to the facility committee with a recommendation of where do we want to move forward with the project or with what they can are
willing to put in or not and then we can kind of make a decision from there. Okay. Addition of the lean to the outdoor locker room. Would you like to explain before? I'm going to make a motion. Do that. Yep. Approve the lean to the outdoor locker
room. Is there a second? I will second it. Okay. Then would somebody like to explain all of this so that we have it down? Yeah. So, uh, the the lead to like you have the pictures in your packet. It's on the outside of the current locker
room out out at the football field. What it'll do is it gives they when they have 50 or 60 kids in there, it's kind of gets tight. What that lean to will do is give them a opportunity to to be out in a little more room for putting their shoes on and stuff that's covered. It
will match the current siding, so it'll be the same color. And the booster club donated the money for it, and then they have a plan of to who is going to build it with the help of some volunteers and stuff. So, I would make a recommendation that you would uh accept the the plan.
So, it's just like four walls. It's not like it's just something to keep them out of the elements. Yeah. Three walls going up against the building. Yeah. Three walls and and a ceiling. Two. And to be honest, if we're not paying for it and they're doing it to our specs,
yeah, there's a there's concrete already. Yeah, it's already they'll just match it to where the the concrete is and the booster club's going to donate the money. They already did. Well, heck yeah. And they're willing to do it to the school. So,
that was my biggest concern is where's the money coming from? We got a donation. Okay. All right. All those in favor? I I opposed. Motion passes. Discuss to add JB softball dugouts. So, I g I kind of got an idea here. It
kind of came up really quickly. Make a motion. Oh, you want me to talk about or you want to make a motion? Okay, good point. I make a motion to approve the J soft. Is there a second? I'll second it. No, you okay so
make it a point order real quick. This seems like an awful lot of action items without meetings. Yeah, that's how I feel right now, too. They were I did discuss with them. They both had both of those items talked to. just
I did inform them and had their So, when I was walking this this fall and looking through how we've had batting cages added and stuff was kind of tore up from all that work, um Eric Huzzman and I had a conversation. He was
looking for some is there any projects for our kids to do? In the last few years, we've had a couple coaches in the JV softball program that have kind of talked to me about not having dugouts there and um which is a is a kind of a concern with not, you know, being title
nine with the facility not being as comparable to the boys baseball fields. So, it kind of gave me an idea of now that it's all tore up now, it would be make the most sense to pour the slab like we have done on all the other ones behind the dugouts or behind the fence
for the bleachers, which clean it up and makes it look a lot nicer, much like we did on the JV baseball field over here. So, I had a couple quotes for that which came back around 14 $15,000 for the cement work. And then Uzi and the shop kids will build the dugouts out there
and that what it would cost us. All it would cost us is the material. Uh it's a good idea now with our shop class because they do have the fall semester he has them for two hours a day versus in the spring he only gets them for one hour a day which makes it hard to do
projects here because once you get going you get 20 minutes of work and then you got to pick everything up. So it kind of came in a really quite quick kind of thing because he was looking for a project this fall. Nice. So, I do have some of that money in my budget for um uh from the LTFM and from
projects that we haven't spent on other things. It'll be short a little bit, probably about 10 grand, but I would recommend that we do it because the timing is right, and we would just put it on the second revision and and add that to our expenses in the second revision.
Any questions or comments about the Do you have to pour the footings? Is there a footing? Is it going to have to be poured in if we put the Douglas on there? Are you No, it'll be They'll put in this the stakes to mount it on there. So, we need $10,000 to finish this
project, give or take. Yeah. Yeah. It'll be out. Where that $10,000 is coming from? It would be It'll be under the on reserve funds. Oh, okay. So, we have the money. We just got to shuffle. Yeah. Or other things that we at the end of the year, we may be in the positive, right?
Take out of this, but it would come out of G. come out of capital for $10,000 on something that absolutely needs to be done. Yes, I agree. Green baseball's done. Yep. And then we get the plus of the shop.
I do like that version. Any other questions? All those in favor? Opposed? Passes. Anything else from facilities? No. Awesome. Yeah. continue.
Okay. Um, just to clarify, are you actually presenting a business report? But I didn't know. You're not doing something. We're just Should I just go through our agenda? Okay. Because then it was on here and I thought, well, maybe you're doing something. First of all, I'm gonna go right to because our first thing we
talked about was levy certification review and I am gonna make well we're going to first I'm going to make the motion to accept the proposed tax levy in front of you. You have that this sheet top copy
top copy is our 2526 taxes levy 2025 payable in 2026 proposed looking at the bottom right hand corner 5.22% is what this proposed increase is that I just made a motion to accept.
Did you get all three pages? I'll second there. Okay. Yes, we've gotten all three pages. Okay, so I'll keep kind of discussing it. Sorry about that. Nope, you're fine. Second page, you'll see what it was last year, a 2.27% increase. Third page, you'll see the
year prior, a 6.84%. Okay, I'll be I'll be very honest in saying I didn't look for years when I was going through these and I was just looking at the chain and I'm like, well, why why are we asking for no money in some
of this when it's different years? Yeah, it makes me feel better. Like, why are we are we putting anything in that pot this time? So, it's fairly stable. Yes. Yep. And you know this will be the first proposal of it and it depends on
our net tax capacity of how this actually turns out. It doesn't necessarily mean that people's taxes will go up. This is the proposal but we need to take the money for us. Yes. Well it can always be readjusted in December.
Yes. This is if we but we we don't take it now we can't take it then. Right. We can reduce but we cannot increase. we can reduce but we cannot increase. So what are we getting out of this that
we don't need a like early childhood went down that's nice a lot of these are based off your EDMs and your kids how many enrollments you have and such um and and like Missy said in the meeting
these change constantly the levy runs we'll probably have 20 different levy runs in between now and December But um even like if you look at the last couple years where it was 2.2 and 6.8 even in some of those years your school taxes might have went down. Even if the
percentage shows that it's an increase because of your net t tax capacity of your district your school taxes might actually go down. Well and dependent for me on what kind of property it's dependent on your property. It depends on business on your value of your property. Did it
go way up? Did it not? But just because it says a 5% increase, it may not mean your taxes will actually be up 5%. But but anyway, like you said, you have to take it now because you can't readjust it, but you can always lower it in December.
Any other questions about the levy? All those in favor? Opposed? Motion passes. Okay. Then we also reviewed enrollment numbers update which is going to be coming later that Mike is probably discussing. Um we reviewed the CPC
account that we got our last dollars from CPC for their naming rights. So we've gotten that check. Uh we reviewed well Pepsi we have a contract with Pepsi and that's in the process of coming around to renew that contract. So that
will be in the next few weeks. Working on the financials. Big bucks. Big bucks. We have an in. Then we reviewed the audit just to give you an update. This is going well and hoping to have that done maybe in
October. That's really all we discussed. One thing just update maybe the CTC account. There's $67,760 in there left in there. Left in there. We so we basically had the money that we generated was 100,000 over the the contract. Some of that
money was spent on some of the contracts we had. Some of it was spent on things we bought for the CTC center at the beginning like radios um different equipment for the CTC center. So which was the plan which was was the plan. Yep. So overall, considering, you know, the things that
we've done for four years and the things we bought, to still have 67 grand in there for other things is is pretty good. So for So, but we won't get any more money from her. So that money's got to kind
at least for 12 years. Yeah, that is something I'm seriously like because I will say that for $100,000 I hope I understand $100,000 is a lot of money. But me growing up with Dave Beats as a
phenomenal teacher in this community, it really broke my heart that we did not name that thing the Dave beats. Whatever. And I understand we need we took the money, but we put a memorial down there. We talked about doing something else like naming
the lobby or something in the there's a big thing in the lobby. Well, there's a there's a thing in the lobby with his name and a plaque and stuff. Yeah. I'm just saying I'm hoping that we get a lot more money for naming rights for our
work facility. I just that's I'm just throwing that out there as I just think $100,000 for a lifetime of It's not a lifetime. It's 20 years. Okay. Okay. Yeah. And then they also had to buy all the signage and then they also have done other
things for the school. They kicked in a lot of money for Ed Foundation. Um they sponsored lots of different things. So it it's not just been the naming rights. They've helped us out in a lot of different areas. So Oh, they did first few concerts. They just they donated thrown in money in a bunch
of concerts and they've been very Yeah. Very helpful. All right. Anything else? Nope, that's all I have for that. Missy, do you have anything you wanted to add? I was just gonna I see you just
um So, we already touched base on a levy, something I've been working on. The audit is almost complete. I expect that that will be coming back to me shortly. Um I'm also working on the title budget to get that approved for this year. And I am working on that projection model because I know Miss
Bridget had asked last month for that projection model that we had worked with um Ellers on. So once I have that first revision wrapped up then that'll be the next piece. But then I'll have good numbers to throw into that projection model and then we can review that hopefully in October
with the first revision. So have that forward. Any questions for Missy? Thank you. Thank you. Anything else from budget? No, that's right. Moving on to other the enrollment update. Uh, madam chair and the members of the
board, you have a packet that I handed out to you with the updated enrollment as of Friday. The second sheet on there was where we were at on um on uh I'm sorry, the first top sheet is August
29th. We were at 1327, 42 kids positive. Then after we opened up the school, we dropped down to 1316. So we're down to 31 kids. So we lost 11 kids in that uh basically that week.
Kind of comes back to that time when I tell you that sometimes they don't always tell us that they're not coming. So it's usually not that big of a drop, but 11 kids is 11 kids. So we are closed in second, third, and fourth grade. The
other grades are now open with our policy change. And I forgot to update. If you look at that second sheet, fifth and sixth grade, fifth and sixth grade should be 110. Okay, that's what I was thinking all and then se sixth and seventh should be 120.
And then we also did talk about that. We understand that first grade is higher than second grade, but it was a good Josh Smith made that decision about where to put the fifth teacher based on the needs of based on the needs of the students.
Yeah, that was a he opted to put it in second grade. That's fine. So, we're down 11 kids and that's also one of the things that we're going to have to look at. We're we're working the numbers which will affect the the
overall first revision. Uh we have I think we have 16 kids that are 15 or 16 full-time PSO kids this year. We had five last year. So that's 17 you know they're taking 16 17 credits. So where are these kids at? Is this a
lot of these kids at CLC or these kids? Most of them still stayed at CLC. They did not take Alex Tech yet because they were already in the program. So, we're hoping that our new kids as they come up transition, we can switch over to Alex Tech with them as that's a much much cheaper
credit. But that's a lot. That's good. Any budget? How many? We had it budgeted. Uh, not quite that, I don't think. But how many of them are actually outside the building and how many are online? Uh, we have that. We're trying to get
that information. I would say the majority of those classes are online. They're not actually physically going to CLC. There might be there's three or four kids that are, but those are like the the automech, the tech or the welding. Those are all in on campus, but
a lot of them they're not. And Jamie, you might know. That's correct. Yeah, most of them are. Most of them are online. There's a couple Yeah. in a full program that they have to show up, but most of them are online. So, that's our updated numbers, which then these numbers also affect your LP numbers because remember we had a
different number in there. So, the other piece that I will share with you is Lois put together this for me. I said, "How did that compare to kids throughout the year like losing students?" She uh broke down that entire school year last year, we saw a total of
86 students leave from day one to the end. This school year, we've had 70 70 students leave already. Now, we've gained kids, but we've had 70 students leave. So that's a that's a pretty good in and out of kids which tends to come
with high mo high mobility tends to come with it correlates with two other things. Correlates with your special ed rates and it correlates with your free and reduced rate. So the higher your free and reduced is the more mobility kids are. So if you have a high free and reduced if you're free and reduced 50
60%. Those families tend to move around. Well, nobody's free and reduced anymore because it's all free. Yeah. Yeah. They still do free and reduced though. They still do the paperwork. Oh, they still do? Yeah. Because we have other things that count on that. We still push them to do it because
that's how we do our computer. So, that's all I got for that. Beautiful. Any questions about the enrollment? Nope. How many? So with busing, what did we change? We added a bus route which will be in
this first revision because of the of the number of kids on the south side in the Brandle area. We had buses that were full. So Mr. Thornhell talked to me about adding a bus route which then also gave him the ability to move a few other routes around which took some pressure off I think
four routes. Um so that'll cost that'll be another second revision hit of Yeah. 70 $80,000. So, we'll have to put that in the second revision. The other piece is the Baxter routes are full. So, we've told any new
families starting now that if we if we accept them, we don't have any transportation for them. They will have to bring their kids here. Can we do that? Yes. They're non they're they're not our district students. We don't have to provide transportation for them. We chose to do that the
routes, but we don't have to provide any transportation for open enrolled students. After this meeting, I'll tell you a story about that. So, we don't have to do that. It's an option that we've chosen to do. They're in district and they pick another school. We have to transient.
If they're in district, we have to take them here, but we don't have to transfer them to another school. else. If you live and you open it, you have to get the brain unless comes and gets you. The question is would we lose them if we didn't have these?
Correct. We would not get as many kids if we ran a lot because the amount the buses wouldn't be full if everybody was because there's still a lot of traffic between so upcoming years that might be
something that we need another bus. may need their bus there or we may have to adjust routes and or um it may change a little bit here as school starts because sometimes kids parents end up driving they don't they sign up but they don't always end up
taking a mom kid comes home I don't like riding the bus it's you know was it this year that we can't park there for a month uh three weeks yeah we'll have to find a different spot because uh Lakewood is going through a remodel of their parking lot so we have to either find a different spot So, Mr. Forshell is
working on that. Uh, we going to maybe ask the other church that's right by there. And if not, we'll have to figure something else out. If we don't have a spot, we may have to tell families for three weeks. We don't have transportation. And then they're going to charge a fee after this. Correct. Oh, Lakewood's going to charge
for us parking there. It says small minimum fee parking lot. Yeah. So, they didn't tell us what that would they use the word small minimal. their budget's probably a lot lower. So what does that mean?
To be honest, the fact that they've done it this long, you know, they also tell me that on my bill, but you know, anything else on the enrollment update? N school board recognition month. You have a
You have a You got a You got a big payday there. Thank you. Big payday. 100 grand. My kids will definitely Thank you. Thank you. Hey, reminder. The October meeting has been
moved to the third Monday due to uh the Indigenous People Columbus Day holiday, depending on what you so choose to call it. Superintendent report. Um, I got a couple things. I will try to schedule uh at this point. Is everybody thinking
they'll be here in November for meeting? Yep. What? Wait, what is that one? Oh, yeah. I'll try to schedule a group photo with Bill prior to the meeting like 20 30 minutes. If you want your this one, are you here?
I can make just get your It feels that easy. It is. Stop taking a nap. Wake up. If you want your badge, I will email you out picture retake day
that you could come and take a new photo for a new badge. They do have picture retake day where they set up the cameras. That's where you would get a new badge with your new photo. So, I'll give you the date of that and when they're going to do that, I'll send that out an email. If it works out for you, great. Okay. Okay.
Um your report, reunification, observation, off-site training. Um, we're going to go uh next week some of us are going to Little Falls is doing a reunification training at Camp Ripley. So, they're going to transport their kids out to there and
actually do a drill. Uh, one of the things that we learned is that they suggest having a site that's over 10 miles away. We do not have that currently. We're going to look at maybe piggy banking off of Camp Ripleys if it's all set up that way. Why invent the
wheel? Basically, why you would do that is if you ever had a a gas train derail, which we usually don't because it's usually coal trains here, but that would be a main reason for something that far away, uh would be a some kind of a
explosion in your community. But, you know, to have a facility big enough to do that, we really don't have a spot in anywhere close to that that would handle buses and transportation. Granted, we do have it all set up for the two churches for ours if we have if
that would be fine, big enough. So, we do have it all set up, but we're going to go down and just observe that uh on the 17th. Um uh second item, uh we do have insurance carrier recommendation meeting on the 22nd. Uh our we had a
opening hit a bit opening and the rates were very good. So, we're anticipating that to be good news for the district on that 22nd. Uh, inform you guys of which company we go with after that meeting. Uh, MEA
break is October 15, 16th. No school. Homecoming week, September 29th through the 3rd. So, there'll be a schedule of different activities coming out, parade and such things like that. Uh, fall blood drive, Jamie Pra, and NHS. That'll
be Wednesday, October 8th. So, if you're interested in doing that, you can sign up for that. And that's all I have. What's this Friday? Is there a tailgating evening? Yeah. Booster Club is doing a meal before tailgating before the game. All right. Any questions for Mr.
Malberg? I would entertain a motion to make the motion. Any questions? We look at Brian Moore wanting to stay. All those in favor? I oppos. So,
