Republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> I still want to sing like America. >> All right. Please silence your cell phones.
Me first. All right. Are there any additions or deletions to the agenda? >> There are none, madam chair. >> Then I would entertain a motion to accept the agenda as presented. >> I make that motion. I'll second.
>> Any questions or comments? All those in favor? >> Opposed? Motion passes. Visitor comments. >> Madam chair, I believe we have Chris again. He'd like to share something with food service.
>> Hello everyone. Um I did put together a little list. Uh Mike asked me to kind of do a comparison real quick. Uh they're just some quick numbers there. The dark blue is going to be the overall um um enrollment at the high school and middle school combined. Um the
number right down from there is going to be the the attendance for that day. Um the first 25 are the ones that I had access to to begin with and they're actually the 575 is not right. It's actually 725 um according to GMC. Um and then the next one down is going to be the
breakfast numbers for the years. And the bottom one is going to be the launch numbers. Um right now they're pretty much close to about the same about 74% or so. Um I'm starting to take those up a little bit, especially in breakfast in the high school. Um this month I'm
starting a more um robust hot breakfast. Um cereal Friday is has gone away and I've got some more uh pancake and eggs type things going in. So we're going to have a few uh hopefully increases in breakfast numbers there. So, >> and you said this is only middle school and high school.
>> Yeah. Yeah. The elementary school is pretty standard. It hasn't changed a whole lot. They're kind of a captive audience. So, >> all right. Very nice. Thank you. >> Any questions? >> Thank you very much. >> Thank you. >> Great,
Miss Gra. Um, my hours are done tonight, so I may see you at future meetings, but thank you for that part of the last year. >> And thanks for coming. Good luck in your class. >> Thank you. All right. Consider the consent agenda.
We have uh the minutes of the previous monthly board meeting, the monthly cash flow including investments, monthly bills paid, monthly bills paid in the activities accounts, personnel summary sheet, and then I would like to thank the people for the donations which were
community charities Minnesota for $700 for the Special Olympics, Smiles for Jake for $1,500 for the golf cart, uh Jake Brandt Insurance Agency at $1,5 $1,500 for the golf cart and the Pillager Husky Booster Club, $1,500 for
golf cart sponsor. So, thank you to all of those people that donated for us. And beyond that, I would entertain a motion to accept the consent agenda. >> We'll make that motion. >> I'll second.
>> Any questions or comments? >> All those in favor? I >> opposed. Motion passes. Moving on to special board reports for possible action. We're going to start with budget. >> We didn't date, but we have some items
to attend to. >> Awesome. Somebody asked me what they were letting school. I said 6.0. 4 6.01 >> and that was when I was in Colorado. I
would see that. >> Okay. So, on the agenda, it looks like this is my business manager report. Everybody has a copy in front of them. It's short and sweet because most of it's presented tonight. Um, but I did want to update our 2025 audit is
finalized. There were no changes. The federal regulations came through. Everything's good to go. So, we're good. Um, fundraiser recap. We do this two times a year. You have that in front of you. So, if you want to review that. Um,
we had multiple fundraisers. Um, I just want to make a note of the class of 2020 2026, the chocolate one. It has a negative number, but that is still ongoing. So, they are still selling. They just placed another chocolate order. So that's why I send in the negative because they've paid for the
chocolate, but we're still collecting. We're still selling. >> I was wondering about that. I was saying, how do you go negative when you're wondering? >> Yeah. No, it's still ongoing. >> Um, and I'm waiting on a couple of others, but let's see. Like the football
team coupon cards, I'm still waiting on that one. I haven't seen anything come through for the copy, but that also looks like it's ongoing through because they applied for selling through January 31st. So, I should be seeing that coming. But other than that, a lot of
it's future stuff. So, that's why those are still blank. So, you'll see those come up in May when we look reook at all of this again. Any questions on fundraiser recap? Okay. So, um, and then we're going to do
the truth and taxation tonight. We're going to do levy tonight. And then student activity reports. We also look at those a couple of times a year. So, you have in front of you. I also handed out there's like an 18 report. Actually, yours reports. I think it's sent back.
So, each fund. So, like wrestling there's a total, track, there's a total. So, there's totals going along on each page. Um, you're going to see there's a negative one for boys basketball. They have deposits coming through because they did their pizza sales and they just
did some grocery bagging. So, I'm not concerned about that one. They're good to go. >> And Super One has continued the grocery bagging thing. That's phenomenal. Good. >> Awesome. >> Yeah. >> So, yeah, as you go through, I'm not
concerned about any of them. They're all looking pretty good or they have stuff coming in. So, okay. So, how about we go ahead and get started with our truth and taxation presentation. screen so it's bigger.
>> So for the agenda, >> can you can you make present? So >> hit present. So it's just one slide. You got to get rid of the red box. There we go. >> All right. Okay. So, today's agenda,
just like every year, we do the big picture. We'll look at everything. Then we're going to look at like your property tax classification and the values. We'll do the school district factors affecting the pay 2026 the levy and then we'll pull it all together at the end and you can ask any questions
that we have. Okay. So big picture. So why do we have a truth and taxation meeting? Well for one it's by law. Um two we have to go over the tax statements and we have to do a public hearing to go over the levy the budget
and then have any public comments. So who sets the school levy? So there's a couple of components. The state formula that is set by the state legislature. So the gendered formula, the operating capital or career and a remployment, all of that kind of falls into that levy portion. And then there's
also a voter approved as authorized by the state levy, which we'll see that breakdown on our property tax classification once we get to that slide. So how is my property tax determined? 12. It's determined by the county assessor. They determine the market value of your home or land. Then the
Minnesota legislature sets the formulas for the tax capacity. Then the county auditor comes and calculates the tax capacity for each parcel. And then the county auditor divides the total levy by the total tax capacity of the district
to determine the tax rate that's needed. So what they're looking at, so we have this is just us. This isn't statewide. This is just our revenues by source. So if you look, we have state resources of for revenue about just about 83%. We have federal funds at just about 4%.
Other is about 3% and then our local sources or levy sources are about 10% of our budget, our revenue budget. So this is just looking at our funding trail with the inflation. So the orange dotted line is the formula allowance that's adjusted for the pupil rate
change. The blue line is the adjusted pupil weight change and the inflation. So you can tell from the blue and the orange that the orange line isn't keeping up with the blue line. So we have a gap in that our expenses and revenues
and it's getting bigger. >> Yeah. >> And then property tax levies. So this is school versus non-school. So you can see we're the blue line. You can see how we're trending. Now the non-school local government. So your cities, counties, they're the red line. So you can see
they're trending quite a bit upward. Well, we're kind of still in the middle. Now statewide, you see the green dots towards the bottom. They're kind of just leveled off down there. So that's what their property tax leans are doing from and this goes back from
1992 to 2026. So just taking a look at us. So this is our first budget revision. So we have our revenues for each fund, right? So we've got the general fund, our food service, our community ed, and then our debt. Then you've got our expenses for
each fund, and then the f the differences in between. >> Yeah. And then so for our school year budget again, so here's all other revenues, so 80%. So payable levy which is four about 4 million that's going to
be 20% of this pie. So now let's look at some of our property classifications and our values. So your property tax statement is going to look a lot like this. So you have step one up at the b at the top that's your taxes payable for the year and it
has a comparison from last year to this year. So you can see what your homestead has done from last year to to this year. Then in step two, they have your proposed taxes. It has your taxes before credit. It has your school building, any agricultural market credits, and then
your property taxes after the credits. There's your total. And then step three, it just says your property tax statement is coming in 2026. So you'll see that this spring. So this is just a proposal. So effective tax rates. So the property classifications these are the
percentages by classification. So your farm, seasonal wreck, residential homes that apartment, public utilities and then your commercial industry and then the share of the tax liability. So you have your property tax classifications again on the left. Your
middle column is your market share value and then your side, the right side is the share of the net taxes for each um classification. Okay, so egg to school and the rural land tax credit. So there was a law that
was enacted in 2017. It affects all of our existing funds seven debt levies except the old bonds. It reduces the farmers and timbers reduces taxes for farmers and timber owners and it'll remain at 70% in 2026. So the revenue
for a school comes from the state income sales and other tax revenue. So if you have the age of school credit, you're going to find that where that blue arrow is by the number four. You're going to see that agricultural or rural land credits. That's where that would be
if that affects your parcel. Okay. So, equalization factors for the L and the operating referendums. So, for tier one, it's up to $300 per pupil. Equalizing factors of 180,000 RPUs.
The tier 2 is $300 up to the 724, which if you look, we are at the 724. That's what we take on. And then the tier one operating referendum and the tier 2 operating which we don't have that. Okay. So other school factors that
affect the K26 levy. So possible reasons for changes to your parcel. So obviously the change in value of your home. Um that's going to affect your levy. Change in enrollment numbers. change in valuation of your property in the district, the local decisions and
requirements. So any adjustment for prior years or any legislative changes that will all affect that tax levy. So here's a referendum picture. So this is showing our district compared compared to the operating referendum
uh revenues across the state. So oh I usually draw an arrow. So we are see my little oops my mouse there. So, we are I don't know if I can reach it. Right in the middle here. There's that light yellow on the one side of us and
then like a white on the other side of us. We're right in the middle there. It's just showing that we don't take an operating reference, but all the other states. So you have some colors, but the dark yellow is saying that they're below the district
medians. There's a almost an orange color. Those guys are above district median for the operating referendums. And then the red county or the red schools are well above the median. So that's what all of those
colors mean as far as the operating. And you can see that there's 94 districts in the state that don't take an operating Um, well, not everybody because next to us you see Brainer, which they're also the same color. And then >> Staples has one.
>> Staples. >> Crosby just passed one. So, next year you'll see Crosby will have >> does not have one. >> And then you see Little Falls. They have >> I know I should put my arrow in there.
>> Okay. >> So, let's put it all together here. So, for the long-term facility maintenance in the school that's included in the school property taxes. So, the school board and then MDE, we approve the 10-year long-term facility maintenance plan every year. We do that in the
summer. Um, so this year we have listed projects. So right now we're just looking at normal maintenance. That's kind of our project. We don't have a building project going on at the moment. Um so LTFM revenue we have about 471,000 that we get from that. So the state
share the aid is about 65,000 or 66,000 estimated local share. So the levy portion is about 405,000 and that's reflected in our property tax notes under the other levies section. So, the proposed pay uh 26 levy, which
you will also see these numbers will coincide with your levy sheet that was handed out today. And this is what we've been talking about pretty much since September because our number October because our numbers really haven't changed. So, you have our general fund levy, our community ed, our general
debt. So, our levy that we're proposing for is about $4 million. It's an increase of about 229,000 from last year, which is about a 6.01% 01% increase. Okay. So, if you're looking for more information or you have questions on
your property taxes, um you can certainly call your county auditor. So, we cover two counties in our district. So, depending on which county you live in, it's going to depend on which county you're going to call. Um you can certainly try and call me, but if it's related to values, I probably
won't be able to answer those questions. you're going to have to call the county. Um, you can also call the state of Minnesota for property tax relief if you feel like your taxes are if you're being overt taxed. You can certainly call the state of Minnesota for that. >> Any questions?
>> Okay, great. >> That'd be great, right? >> That would be great. I haven't got it, but I got mine. I haven't heard much about it. So, >> any other questions about truth and taxation.
>> Okay. I'll make a motion to approve the resolution for the adoption of the 2025 payable 2026 property tax levy. I'll second. >> I have to read it out loud. The final property tax levy must be certified by the county auditor and MBE
by December 28th, 2025. that attached is the proposed final payable 2026 property tax levy certification in total amount of 4,41,6716. Therefore, it be resolved by the Hiller School Board of I Independent School
District number 116 2025 payable 2025 property tax levy. Does that say 2026? I think so >> that the 2025 payable 2025 property >> payable 2026.
>> It says 25 in here 26. >> Yep, you're right. It's >> hard to find good help sometimes. >> Hey, the fact that I read it and copy. >> Yeah, that's pretty good. >> Well, it doesn't make sense when you say the same two things. >> That's why I was wondering. Okay. It would be resolved by the school board of
independent school district 116 that the 2025 payable 2026 property tax levy is adopted in the total amount of $4,41,6716 and further that the school board clerk is authorized to sign the document used
to certify the property tax levy to the county auditors and the Minnesota Department of Education. We have a motion and a second. Are there any other questions, comments, or concerns?
And all those in favor signify by saying I >> I. >> All those opposed? Motion passes. We had adopted. >> Thank you. >> And then I have to sign.
>> She will get it to you. >> Yes. So I'll do it tomorrow because I got to go on. So whenever it has to be filed by December 31st. So okay, you might not. So >> thank you Missy. Uh just wanted to touch
base on that slide. So once again when you look at that information when you say 90 districts out of how many have an operating levy? You saw that you know when we when we talked to you in September about taking that full amount and all the LTFM and all those things.
If you didn't take that, our gap would go even bigger and then when you have districts around us that like Staples or Little Falls that have an operating levy, we would lose funds to do that. Plus, when you take some, as she stated, that LTFM, the state does kick in some
money toward that. So, if you didn't take all that, you're also turning away some money. So, just a couple things to keep in mind for next year when you keep talking that conversation of that that levy because if you didn't take those dollars, um, >> you're you're losing you're even losing
more ground. So, >> thank you. Thanks, Missy. >> Any other questions for Missy. >> Awesome. Thank you. >> Anything else from budget? No. personnel. We did not meet and I think
we're dealing with our personnel all the time. It's we're having an ongoing super. >> So, >> who's going to see each other? >> See each other again soon, I'm sure. >> All right. Curriculum. >> We did not.
>> No, we did not. >> Uh just a really quick update. Uh just three things. mainly a technology update. Um we are uh increasing our security and visitor management in the buildings and so we are
>> come Wednesday I have to bring my driver's license. >> You have an ID or you have a badge to get in through the key card system which logs and tells >> but I need to remember that. >> You will need to remember that. So um it isn't up and running yet. So about over
the next month or so, we will be installing a visitor management system through a company called Raptor. Uh Pquad, a local district, uses Raptor as well. People will need to show an ID to uh get in the building if you're a guest. And so you'll scan your ID. Um
from there, it will print out a badge. It will uh say have your picture on it. It will also tell us why you're here and who you're here to meet with so that we see you in the hallway. um that will be new to us. So, we'll be working with communication to send that out to families and to the community so that
they know that that has changed and they should expect to need an ID. >> Are we turning them away in the first month if they don't have it? >> We will be working through some of that process. Raptor is going to kind of help us through that. We have some questions just in terms of even like deliveries and things like that like how we will
manage that. So, it will be new for us across the board, but for the most part, yes, we will start to turn people away and say you need to have an So, I know Brainard uses it too, but um so will guests have to do it every single time they come or once they're checked in and then they can come in and since you have
their picture on file, they can print it out. >> So, they they will need to do it if infrequently they will need to do it each time that they come in. There is a part of the system if you are a regular >> uh guest here or coming into a classroom regularly those pieces that we can either print out a QR code that goes
with it. You just scan it and it just prints it off. So, I won't need to remember every week. >> So, you'll have Yes, you possibly have that on file >> if you're coming in more often, right? >> Um, as we kind of go through that system, it does also scan the sex
database, the national database. It also has our local, so anything that might be, you know, a court ruling or anything like that would go in there. So, that will be a system that people will do right before they get into the office. So in the vestibule there'll be an iPad
kiosk. They'll scan it. From there it'll print out a badge and our secretaries will open the door. >> I love it. >> So um with that what kind of got us looking at this system is this is the emergency management and reunification. We talked a lot about reunification this
year. The emergency management side of it as well with Raptor. It will uh one it will log and keep track of all of our drills. So, our fire uh fire drills, our tornado drills, our lockdowns, everything. Um, with that, it will be
connected to all of our computer systems. And so, if um we go into a lockdown, all of our screens that are on will go into and say that you're entering a lockdown, remain in your location. Um teachers then will be able to through a either their phone or
through a Chromebook or through their desktop computer they can roster all the kids that are with them in that moment and we will see it in the moment where all of our students. It connects to our visitor management as well so we know other people who are in the building so
that we can keep track of people very quickly. >> It lets us know who's not here. >> Lets us know who's not here. So, who are we missing and who we not? Who are we missing and who are we not missing? >> You're not looking for little John's classroom, but they called in sick today anyway.
>> Correct. So, we reduce that number very quickly. >> I like it. >> And then we go into figuring out are they gone at an appointment, are they gone at this, are they gone at that so that we know where people are at and all of our teachers have access to that. It also has a messaging system within that
app. So, the moment we know something about it, we can send that out to staff. Um, we had a false alarm a couple weeks ago and that was before school started and it was one of the questions that people had. Is this a drill? Is it not? You got to treat it like it's real. You
got to treat it like a real until we know, right? Um, and people moved really quickly and moved into action. Um, and Frank and thankfully it was a false alarm. The system malfunctioned. >> You could tell it wasn't a false alarm by the voices across the radio.
>> Oh, absolutely. people were very quickly going into action. >> Very quickly. >> So, uh my hope in Janu Yes, exactly. There was 10 on there. >> Um at the January board meeting just to be able to do a little bit of a demo for
you. Um sometime after that January board meeting, we will have a live date for the visitor management by February. Uh we have a PD day in February looking to do as a demo for staff on the drill car.
More to come. The last two I have are just more updates. Um I talked about last time the PSO consortium that the districts around us are putting together. We are moving forward with that. Um so second semester we're going to try to do that. We actually spearheaded that last year just to
remind people uh with Pquat we shared classes back and forth. This will be a bit a bit of a bigger pool. So hopefully I work more CS courses versus this PS and uh the assessment update is we this
is kind of our middle window. We do fall, winter, spring. We do offer for classrooms and grade levels that want to just kind of do a a little measurement in the middle. Um and so we are in the middle of that window right now. It'll be uh ending in the next week or so. But
just to kind of give you a highlight with second, third, and fourth, the A reading, they're all moving in the upward direction, which we want to see and we're going to see that with it's compared to fall benchmarks. The hope is that we kind of get this zigzag and so
but come January, we do know that we're going to see a little bit of a dip because it gets harder, but we don't want we don't want to see this dip below the fall. So, we're expecting rising up, a little bit of adjustments, rising back up until the end of the year. So, it's
all moving in the right direction. >> Anybody have any questions for Ryan? >> Thank you. Thank you so much. >> Anything else from curriculum? No. >> Policy. Policy. Bridget's not here, so
I'm filling in. >> Good one. We have a third reading of policy 707 which was transportation. And since it's third reading, I'm going to make a motion to accept that policy.
>> Is there a second? >> Any questions or comments? >> All in favor? >> I >> I opposed. Motion passes. >> Then we have a group of policies that we only need to read through once. They are
one meeting adoption type policies because they are adopting legal updates. >> I'm going to interrupt just for a second. Do we need to take individual ones on these or when she makes a motion? Can we do it all at once all together? >> That way you don't have to make all you
can go over them all. >> Yeah. Okay. Okay. So, first one, policy 306 is the administrator code of ethics and the general statement of policy was just adjusted to the current language.
Policy 60 textbooks and instructional materials. This adopted a paragraph um saying that all instructional materials including teachers manuals, films, tapes or other supplemental
material which will be used in connection with any survey, analysis or evaluation as part of any applicable program shall be available for inspection by parents or guardians of the students. Policy 712
is video recording other than on buses and it used to say video surveillance. So basically the change was changing the word from surveillance to recording and updating that.
Next policy 722 public data and data subject requests added some legislative updates. Uh one thing was that if the school district notifies the requesting person
that responsive data or copies are available for inspection or collection and the requesting person doesn't come to expect these things within five business days. The school district may suspend any further response to the request until the requesting person
inspects the data that has been made available or collects and pays for the copies that have been made. In this policy, it also updated about the cost for making these copies 100 or fewer pages.
25 cents for one-sided copies, 50 cents for two-sided copies. Yeah, quite expensive if you need a lot of cars. >> So, those are the four policies 707, 306, nope, sorry, 306, 606, 712, and 722
that I'm going to make a motion to accept those policy language changes. I'll second. >> Okay, any questions or comments? All those in favor? I opposed. Motion passes.
That's all we have. Anything nothing else in policy. Beautiful activities. >> Oh, we did not meet Madam Chair. >> But everything's in launched a little bit of practice for wrestling tonight. >> I would say that the winter sports are fully in gear and winter. We did have
our first team win for wrestling. >> Yes, they've seen that. That's awesome. >> Congratulations. >> Yeah, we're working hard. facilities >> not meet but >> we'll have some uh I'll have a couple weekly meetings here with W on the
moving forward with the projects and stuff. So we'll probably need to meet in a few months. I don't it'll take a while here for him to get stuff to for the plan and everything but >> uh moving on to other then MDE04 projected enrollment.
>> Madam Chair, you have this in your board book. We do this every year and it kind of tells us where we are with four year olds, three year olds uh for this year's report. >> She's the only one that brought her computer. >> I didn't see it. No.
>> I didn't see it this morning when I looked at the book either. So, >> somebody forgot to put that. >> So, are we up? Are we down? Where? >> Well, we're about the same. So, I'll read it to you. In 2526, we have 95 kids that are recorded for
four year olds. Compared to the years past, 91, 91, 88. So, we're pretty much right in line with the years before. Of those, uh, we have 58 uh, zeros, 61y olds, 61 2y olds, 91
three year olds, and 95 four year olds. So, we're kind of in line with where we've been in the past. Of those 95 kids uh that we have on our books for four-y olds, 56 are pillager students and 39 are out of the district. So, pretty much
in line with where we've been the last three or four years, five years. Pretty much nothing to show anything that would decline. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Awesome. Plan for the snow makeup day on November 26th. So what I would like to do at this
point is um my thought would be to share with you guys we do have some makeup days in our calendar. We have in the past tended to forgive one student day. >> So I would recommend at this point that we forgive that as a student day pending
more makeup days that we might miss. >> Yeah. >> So if we miss a day in December or January or February, we would probably then make those days up. But as of now, what I my plan would be to make to forgive that student day, but make the staff come back on fe Friday, February
13th, which is President's Day weekend. So, we would have that as a staff development day for them. What would change that would be if we have another snow day here between now and then, then that might become a student day. So, at this point, if if you're okay with that,
I would like to get that out to the staff so they can know that that at this point is going to be a work day for them. Now, they may have vacations planned, but they would have to take a a personal PTO day if they have something like that planned, but >> that's my plan for now, pending any
other days that we don't miss. >> Okay. I will I'll send that out to the staff so they know that that would be at this point they're working that day whether it's students coming or not but they will be here. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Superintendent report.
>> Uh couple things continue on with you. >> Yeah. Um December 16th next week we have third and fourth grade Christmas concert. We have them in the afternoon and in the evening in the CTC center. Uh we have the wellness committee meeting
for food service tomorrow at 1:30 with uh with the food service company. We have some students and some parent reps. Sarah's coming >> on Wednesday. >> Is that Wednesday? Did I say tomorrow? >> You said tomorrow. >> Yeah, that's Wednesday. I'm sorry. It's on Wednesday. >> I was going to say I can't wait tomorrow. >> Yeah, it's on Wednesday. So, we bring
some students in and we ask questions about food service and re-record it and make some changes or some things. So, that's coming up on Wednesday. Uh this middle school musical was held this last weekend. I'd like to congratulate all those involved. >> Very good. We had well over 50 students
involved in that. And then we are one of the very few schools that have a middle school musical. Uh which is very cool for them. Choir concert tonight which is 6:30 and 7:30. Band concert next Monday 6:30 and 7:30.
Um, first home wrestling meet is coming up this Thursday 5:00 versus New York Mills. So, if you're around, stop out for that. It's kind of exciting night for >> for us. >> Where will it be? >> It's uh don't know. Probably in the main gym, I'm guessing.
>> Yeah, they may eventually have them in the middle school. I don't know. But for now, I think it's in the main gym. And then the last thing I have is I put on your on your table uh plan for 2027 2028. It's already kind of thinking about doing the school calendar for two
years from now. Um Labor Day is a is a very late once again it's on September 6. The state legislature passed a law that schools could start prior to Labor Day for next year and the following year. Well, we already had the calendar done for next
year. But I would like to propose an option for uh possibly starting prior to Labor Day. Um before I do that, I just kind of wanted to get some feedback from you guys as a board if that's something that you would like me to perceive to pursue.
There's lots of different options that you can do. This is just an example starting on Wednesday. You could start on Monday, take Friday off, for example, which would make kind of sense because you probably have a home football game on Thursday night. Um especially if we have a home game, we tend to like to do
them on Thursday. Some schools don't. Like uh some schools want to play on Friday night. >> So in this current schedule as well, you'd be out before Memorial >> with the third option. You would be. Yes. >> And I think there's another option as well that is still out before Memorial
Day with starting after Labor Day, but then you don't have the two days off in March. So, there's different options out there, but this would give an option to starting before Labor Day, which also would give them some breaks in the calendar year. Um, and yeah, so one of
the things I would do is I would probably change that to where we would not have school on that Friday before Labor Day. Uh, that gives it a 4-day weekend, which would help the resorts and things like that for families that have trips planned. >> And this would just be one option that >> one of three options. Yes.
>> The the staff may not vote for this option. they may vote for a different one, >> but this is just to provide another option. >> But before I did that, I wanted to get you guys some feedback to say, "Yeah, go ahead and put it in there." Or, "Nope, we don't want to touch school before Labor Day." So,
>> that's what I said. >> Easier for a lot of parents because the buses are bringing the kids in sports. I do like maybe starting on Monday and having a Friday off. >> Yeah. And we may even start on Tuesday,
right? And have staff development day on Monday. >> Looks brutally long. >> Yes. I was thinking the same thing. >> There's nothing. >> The other schools in the area >> have a week. >> You don't have something off. Just looks like a long month. But not that this is a bad calendar. >> Yeah,
>> it works because April the two days off were in April. >> Yeah. around Easter holiday Easter break, right? Yeah. Yeah. And there are some options there that I think one of the options is going through July into June getting some days off, but our staff has always voted for

So, uh, but I always give them an option and they always tend to take So, I I'm guessing that they will probably vote for this one, >> but I just before I offer >> that to Monday, then you could throw in a couple days in March, too. >> You could or another day off. Yeah. or
an extra day at President's Day or whatever. Yeah. >> Okay. >> Anything else? >> That's all I have. >> Anybody have any questions for Mr. >> The last thing I have to the superintendent posting did go out today. >> My question just remind me when do we all meet again for that?

>> Uh all those in favor? >> I oppose. >> Thank you.
