>> But that is completely >> congratulations. Have a great night. >> Mr. I think they did some money out to the state level. >> All right. Next, we're going to move to policy and we're going to start with the
s presentation. >> I got Maggie here, our new school. I know she introduced to most of you, Maggie Augi Augurt. Um, she is doing middle school and high school now for us. Uh but recently there's been some legislation where we
have to have a SER team which stands for cardiac emergency response program. >> There you go. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Should have known that >> right in front of you. >> Just read that. >> Um there's we also have a code medical team
>> cover the lap >> but so it's a little different but part of that is that as part of that plan they have to present to the board. So this was in your packet. So, she's going to Maggie's going to run through it, kind of give us a short version of it. >> Yeah. >> And then go from there.
>> Yeah. I think it was all sent to you guys. So, >> um basically it gives our school guidelines on like what what to do if somebody collapses in a heart um emergency. So, all the well, I'll just stick with this, I guess. Um so, SERF is
a written document that establishes specific steps to reduce death from cardiac arrest. Um, so all public schools and charter schools in Minnesota are required to have this starting next year. Um, so we're kind of getting ahead of it by getting it approved now and
then we'll just have it reviewed once a year. Um, yeah. So it's kind of a nice thing because then when we're tra when our teams are traveling, we know that other schools are up to date with the plan, AEDs, things like that. So, so obviously it matters because it can
just drastically reduce death if there's any cardiac emergency events. And like we've seen on the news over the past couple of years, they're happening kind of more frequently or maybe we're just more aware of them. But um the sooner that you can get an AD on anybody, the
rates of survival just jump very significantly. So, so these are the state requirements. Um, so you need to establish a plan. Um, you have to form the trained response team. Um, you need AED placement and ma
maintenance of them. So, um, the goal is to have an AED within three minutes of any event that would happen. Um, and then you have to conduct an annual drill and then review the plan annually. So um
we have established our team. Our team is wonderful. Most of our team is um well some of the people on our team are BLS certified and then the rest will be handsonly trained at least. Um so that's great. Um >> who is your team?
>> Yes, it is packet. It's me, Jamie, all the principles. Um coaches Matt's >> a pretty big list. Yeah, it's a good team. They wanted um like I think 10% of staff. >> Wow.
>> Which is good because the more the better. >> Yeah. And then if like anybody's missing absent for a day, then you know you're kind of covered when you're doing CPR. You need >> a good group present because it gets exhausting until EMS arrives.
>> My thought process was the three minute rule. I was like if Mr. Moan has to hoof it across this building. Not sure he's making this. >> Wow. You called him old. And no, I'm not that. >> I know. He's not even here to defend himself at this point, but anyway. Okay. >> Good thought. Thank you for thinking of
that. Um, so we are utilizing people from something called Project Adam. They're a national group that go works with schools to make sure they're up to date on AED as they're ready. They have a plan. So they've reviewed our SER and they believe we have all the necessary
things that are required. So we're very happy to have them and their rep for Minnesota is coming to do a drill with us on April 6th. So she's reviewed our plan and she's going to come to the drill and teach our whole team hands
only um CPR. So that's really awesome. So our team or our plan basically if somebody collapses anybody can call the cert team um during typically during
school time hours call 911 start CPR apply your AED and then you continue with um CPR until EMS arrives. So like I said our team is all at least trained on hands only CPR. So when we're thinking about Mr. Moan
getting there in time, our AEDs are kind of spread out across the school. So we have four, >> one, two, three. They're the the red. >> So we want them close close to gyms obviously. Um so there's one by the
weight room, the commons in between middle school and high school gym, middle school gym, and then elementary school gym. Um and then we have one >> tracked. >> Yep. And then there's one out by the direction. >> Is it on the outside of it? >> Yeah. >> How about the baseball fields on this side of the school?
>> So, we have a traveling AED that during the spring sports we're going to keep in the shed by that baseball field on the other side. Um, does that make sense? >> I was thinking about the opposite side of the school. So, the what would be the high school?
>> Yes, they would use that. >> I feel like I'm not super familiar with the >> layout. one right out here. >> You're thinking of this one field. So, there's a shed. >> I think it's the shed. >> Yep. That we're going to keep in there for spring sports and it's traveling
one. >> Okay. >> And then kind of in the future, we're hoping So, there's going to be >> we're doing an addition here, right? the weight. >> So Jamie was wondering there might be um kind of like a vestable in between
>> that we might want to put one there for the future. So it's temperature controlled. The one that's out here isn't a temperature control box, but we've had some issues with it like if the door is not sealed or the plugins were not plugged in correctly. >> Um so that's been that's not ideal. It's
what we have and it's going to do the job. But >> having one here would be really good for us too. So then the traveling one goes with so it's on the scoreboard for like basketball games, wrestling matches, volleyball games. >> So that goes for with the varsity teams
for the home matches. >> Um >> is there a need for more of them or do we have enough? >> More I guess would always be better. Like I think about I think about golf and cross country. Um they they're kind of on their own, right? If they could
have a traveling one, that would be awesome, but they're pretty expensive. So, >> pretty expensive. >> Well, one of the things is >> I'm just thinking of because I know there's grants at different conferences I've been at. There's been different programs that offer them. >> Yeah. >> And things like this. So, I'm I'm not
thinking of get this in our budget. I'm thinking more of >> who could we >> who could we get them from? Yeah. Did the fire department usually >> they've done >> have in the past but >> Jamie did a bunch of ordering like I think last year she got four new ones or
three new ones. >> Three I think and then I think well two of them were outdated. I think they after a certain point you can't >> have to be replaced. So I think we replaced four last year if I'm mistaken. >> So you don't know how much they are? >> I don't know.
>> Yeah they're like 3500 I think. Three grand three grand somewhere in there. I would say >> but you keep in mind like when golfers are at golf courses usually golf courses have an >> AD so you know >> Maddens
>> they golf courses when you go in they have one so >> you're never going to be on a golf course but then >> I mean you can't carry one with every you know there's >> so fast >> so but they do have them there on golf courses >> yeah so >> I was just thinking like even grandpa
comes wants to watch. >> Yeah. >> Program down at the early childhood end of the building. >> And in some of those sections is pretty long for anybody. >> Yeah, we' definitely be grabbing probably this one.
>> Yeah. Hook it all the way down there and then >> just carry it all the way back. Either way, >> it will be in my head. >> You have to replace batteries and um this what's trying to say the patches
the patches and those are really expensive too. So the whole >> it's a whole thing but it's worth it. >> Um >> so we will be sending out the plan um to like North Memorial EMS and then the fire department. So, they're all going
to have our plan kind of to be in the loop. Um, the staff will also be emailed the plan. Um, coaches and teachers, we're going to start offering them handsonly CPR. So, for the spring coaches, just what is it? Just last
week, we went um to the registration night and Jamie and I taught hands only CPR and kind of went through where the AEDs are and they really appreciated that. So, um, and same with teachers. I think maybe we're kind of working through how we're going to offer it to
them. Maybe every other year or something like that just so they're more aware of what to do, more prepared. Um, and then like I said, we'll have the annual drill. This first year project Adam representative, she's going to be helping us run through that at least two drills. I'm really excited for that. Um,
and then we need your approval every year of the plan. So that's about it. >> The other piece of this is that we will be adding it to our uh crisis plan. So when we review our crisis plan every year, you guys approve that. So it'll be
part of that. So that would be where you would approve it. >> She wouldn't have they wouldn't have to come here every year. It would just be >> Oh, but this is so >> tweaked in tweaked in thinking about how we can buy more. >> Yeah. >> Well, thanks guys. >> Thank you very much. So I guess going
forward then how do we know how would I know if it's approved? >> Well, we'll approve it now. >> So I'll make a motion to approve this action. >> Is there a second? >> Any questions, comments, or concerns?
>> Can we get the cops in the We never did. Let me find out. >> We use Striker. That's >> okay. >> And I think Jamie went through CRMC and got a grant through most for most of them. >> Y >> and she looks at stuff all the time.
>> The travel bag came from uh somebody too was a big stone maybe or somebody we did a grant. >> If we ever got one from then all those in favor >> opposed motion passes for you.
Thank you. >> You are now required to come every month. >> Doesn't matter. >> All right. Anything else from policy? >> Just that uh we need to set the uh next meeting date with the committee.
>> So afterwards, Cass and uh Bridget, if you would meet with me, we could set a date >> perfect >> for that week of the 23rd through the 27th. Okay. >> Uh, next up we have personnel. We've all had kind of a big month. Like to welcome
if we sign this contract our potential new superintendent candidate. But I would like to make a motion to approve the superintendent contract. Um, and so is there a second? >> I'll second. >> Second. And then now all the questions, comments,
concerns, >> nothing. I just was Stacy for that ESST time. Is that the standard language that's in >> all of the employees? >> Well, so >> it will be added to like our principles
cuz our principal contracts were older. Yep. So that's the language I got from MSBA. >> That's what MSB that's what they said put in. I just thought it seemed like it wasn't clear about >> the laws that say you can earn up to 48 hours per year and I know you had that
six day >> 48 hours and six days >> but then it was like maxed at 80 hours. >> Well, that's that's his sick time. So, we have sick time and so then we designate >> just designate part of that >> part of that to be ESST because ESST has
a lot looser parameters than sick time. >> Okay. Just wanted to make sure it was the standard language that we had gray. >> Otherwise, I didn't have any other concerns about it. >> Okay. >> Anybody else? >> No. >> No, the language was confusing me, but
Sarah, help me. >> ST. >> And then we had him come in that day. We had Stacy come in that day to explain it because >> really to yourself.
>> And then we have all the same questions next year as they're >> looking at their contracts, too. >> Yeah. >> And so we don't have to alter anything because our plan was already more generous than what the state requires. We just have to say set aside and say, you know, 48 hours >> because that is a minimum that can be
required for that. He wanted he wanted sick days instead of more of >> you. It is confusing. It really is. >> All right. Any other questions? >> All right. All those in favor?
>> I >> opposed. Most passes. >> Welcome. Congratulations. Yeah. >> Now you're required to come for the next three years. He hasn't signed it yet. True.
>> I have to come begg. >> All right. Next, um, is approve the schedule C. >> You have a packet. >> Um, the first sheet is just kind of a summary of the of the changes, I guess you could say. Um, this
is really pretty much very much the same as what I gave the personnel committee. Um, so there are a few changes. That's a few treat tweaks, but if you look at the top one there, add additional BA step 10 and 11 for head coaches and lead directors. That's not everybody, just so
head coaches and somebody like was in charge of knowledge bowl and speech. Those would be like the lead directors maintain and the rationale for that was to help retain head coaches and directors with experience. And those additional steps helped us equalize some
pay comparable to stables and people. So we did a I did a whole comparison with about I suppose 10 or 11 schools. most of them are in our new conference that we'll be going into and um met with two representatives from the union uh and
one of the coaches kind of looked through the comparison where we were at compared to all the different pay pay positions and kind of did an average of all those other 11 schools and um when we came to that this is kind of what we
came to a conclusion. Um my point to the board the committee was to I think it would be fair to say that we should be comparable and paid to Staples and Peacock. So that we agreed on that when we went to them. So what that came out of was uh head coaches the spring sports
that would be increased from 11.25 to 2 to 12.5. So the top scale there goes from current nine. So if you were a coach with nine years of experience, you would been making 6239. If you add those two new steps and go
two more years, they would go to 6879. And then the same thing with winter went from 13% to 13.5. If you were on step 9, it goes from 7209 to 7904. Um, nothing was changed in the fall sports and nothing was changed on any
assistance. It was just the heads and we were low on assistance. We were pretty clo we were either above or at average. Okay. >> Uh other areas that we looked at that we were low on. Um you can read through those. I don't know if you want me to read through each one there, but you can
see the ones that went up. uh what instrumental vocal one act middle stu middle school student council high school student council robotics assistant high school knowledgeable wait room prom advisor and then elementary music. So those were all areas that we
were a little bit low in and we bumped those. Uh and then we also recommended these changes uh fall winter and youth sports coordinator to take that off the schedule seed since we don't do fall and winter anymore. We just do an hourly thing. We saved a ton of money. Just
didn't really evolve the way we looked at. >> And then >> who's doing that? >> Nobody's doing it this year. We cut that spring though. Uh we might have somebody in the spring. >> Okay. >> But but the fall and winter we didn't have anybody. Josh picked up the duties. >> Okay.
>> We paid Josh a little bit more in the community. He had to do those. >> And then we did some hourly people for just to be at the event. >> Okay. >> So that's why we didn't do them anymore. Uh and then we added a new special Olympics position. A lot of schools in that breakdown of those 11 schools had
that. We did not pay that position. So Kim Lun has been doing that several years. Um >> very well. So we added that in. And then elementary yearbook, we started that a couple years ago with our new art teacher and she kind of ties it into
some classroom stuff and electronic type art. Uh so we added that as well, 2%. Then some of the other changes, increase scorekeepers, removed some officials from hourly rate, and then uh increase speech judges, uh increase youth sports
coaches a little bit, a whopping $5, and then increase supervisor pay from $35 to $60. So factored all those things in, those increases in salary costs would be at the most would be about $18,000 per
year. Uh that's what that would be as if everybody got everything I had on on but they're not all there, right? Not like for example, our boys basketball coach isn't at step nine. >> He's let's say step four or five, right? So he's not going to get that raise until he gets there.
>> So most case scenario is $18,000. I would say on the general probably more closer to 14 to 15 grand per year right now. And we did factor this into our our um what word am I looking for? Missy projection model that $18,000 going
forward every year. Um so we put that in there. But um yeah uh the the I have approval from the teachers union today that they would agree with this. So am I asking for uh you guys to go ahead and approve contract schedule C?
>> I'll make that motion to accept schedule C. Second. >> Any questions, comments, concerns? >> Keep in mind, we can add positions every two years. We'll negotiate every four. So, these percentages and that won't go
up. They won't stay for four years. >> So, are we still looking at a deficit though or the 250 in the whole in two years? >> No, we can afford this. We're fine. >> Y >> I know. I just I hadn't heard whether we had balanced it and and gotten ahead of
the game. >> We were we were ahead even at the end of last year. >> Yes, but there was a projection where we thought we >> we'll we'll cover that. We'll we'll cover that later and we'll >> all bases are covered with this >> all right
that was my only concern. >> All in favor? >> Opposed? >> Motion passes. update on district >> just FYI just so you know and the second one is the changes in red and then this is the final one. >> Yep. >> So that's what you have prepared.
>> Yep. >> Update on district employee contracts. >> Those have all been settled and they've all been within that 3 to 4% range that we talked about. So they're all done and they've all been signed and we'll put them into the budget. >> Awesome.
>> That equal about $13,000 on an annual increase. >> Okay. Thank you. Anything else that we can think of for budget personal >> with the um increases with instrumental and vocal. So this is like just a personal thing with me. I absolutely
love it when I see a student sing the national anthem, play an instrument for the national anthem. where how do we encourage our band and choir teachers to encourage to and I know the students it has to be something the students want to do in the first place but how do we get them to
encourage like Colgrove sang the national anthem and I I was like stoked that he sang it you know because it just shows school spirit and shows our programs and helping kids >> show their talent you know or getting the band at war games and stuff like that like >> well the band is required only for so
many days >> that's how that is written in their contract for per band. >> Per vet band. Yeah. And the instrumental covers the cost of the concerts and stuff. So like the only way would be to, you know, just remind directors and, you know, send them an email and stuff and
we can do that again. But, you know, that's really the only way, you know, to get kids to do that at an event. But part of it is when we even tried to do the AV club, kids just didn't want to become at night and they just want to
commit to anything at that. But some of them don't have rides. >> Well, but some of them are planned and they don't want to do it. So, but >> if I pick up quit church, they could afford the gas to get to church. >> But I will remind Eric and and Rob to
see if they could get those. >> I was just thinking with the increase in, you know, does that help like increase in encouragement here? >> Unfortunately, no.
>> All right. All right, curriculum. We did not meet, but we do have an update from the >> A short little update. It's a busy month. >> That was a joke. >> Some prep work.
>> Um, >> wasn't busy for us. >> Uh, so just a couple pieces. High school registration is actually wrapping up at this point. Um so we're starting to look through the numbers. Uh we had a lot of conversations and starting to have uh
meetings just with families that are interested in PSCO CIS and those things. We with more and more kids taking PSO. I >> was going to say what are our numbers there then? >> I don't have the numbers yet for registration that piece of it but certainly more people vocal about
interest. Um but also us having more conversations with families about what does it mean to be online? what does it mean to be independent in PSO? Um, so that's something that uh David and I have been sitting down and looking at. How do we look at that to help families
make those decisions moving forward um so that they know that they're signing their kid up for something that it's highly independent um so that they'll be successful. So, um, just know that kind of as those numbers are come up, those are also conversations that are happening during the semester as well.
Um, where a kid is coming in going, I haven't turned anything in and okay, well, we need to ch turn that around, right? So, >> so when they're asking about PSO and having those conversations and we're starting to talk about CIS, are parents and students kind of understanding the
difference between the two more so than historically? >> I think so. in terms of the conversations that so uh Sue and David both did the presentation and um gave a lot more scenarios right to describe the situation to families.
>> I have a question. So PSO you can go to CLC or Alex Tech and get an AA. Can you stay within the school and get an AA? >> Yes, I believe that we actually have all of the CIS equivalent. >> Okay. to get that now. Um, partly
because we Alex Tech has the online high school which is kind of a a split between PSO and still a CIS course, right? So, the online high school is only high school students taking these college classes, >> but it's a consortium with Alex Tech. We
also have a group within our local district. So, Kquat and us, we've been sharing. Uh, Piers is going to join that as well. So I think with that we have covered all of those >> okay >> those 10 goal areas >> people being like well why >> well and I think the other piece for
people to know is that >> just because you think you got an AA degree that doesn't always help you when you get to college kicks you in the butt. Yeah. >> Right. And so that's become more of the conversation as well of what do you want what are you wanting to do moving forward? What makes the most sense?
Right. the 10 goal areas might not make sense for somebody to complete at this time because they are planning on for a four-year degree. Right. Right. Um so definitely more is happening around those conversations. Um and we looking at the registration numbers just to start. We have a lot of kids that have
have asked or requested to sign up for CIS >> which is a good thing. >> That's awesome. Right. That's >> because in the long run, I mean, with the way state funding is, I mean, that's got to be a huge thing at the stage is like how are schools going to continue to afford to correct for it? >> Yep.
>> And and colleges know this, too. I mean, this is part of their funding cycle as well and they have they have realized that. So, there there's a big push as well for them to advertise more PSO, right? And and as a parent who's had three kids or two kids that have
graduated college and one that's in >> getting as many as you can for free is I mean knowing that what the debt is but also like I said it depends on your student where Levi it would have hurt his college career. Grace had to have it
>> to help hers and Jack was not a >> PSCO student at all. >> Right. And that is more of the conversation with the course planner with school links about what's your plan. Yes. Right. What what are you looking for? >> It's got to be per student.
>> Do we encourage an associate of science at all? >> Because ran into that problem. She was encouraged to get an AA degree, which she did, but then >> we knew that she was going to be a vet, and when she got to college, it was, well, why don't you get your associate of science? And we were like, oh. And
CLC has not in the past put it more than the AA, right, is the way I understand it here, right? Um CLC though is also trying to back that conversation up as well. And because they have a lot of kids that come and say, "We're here. I'm going to get the AA degree." And CLC is
expanded more of their four-year options >> and saying you didn't you don't need to go as far as the AA degree because you're taking more credits than you need to get into that four-year program. Um, but I I haven't seen them advertise an associate of science >> at this point.
>> I was just saying our counselors when they're talking about what avenue are you taking us as a school. If we hear a kid take wanting a degree that's more of a science-based degree, then we need to talk to them and say, "Wait a second, you don't need what you just said. You don't need this. You need this."
>> There is more of that happening now. >> Okay. Good. Good. in terms of um part of the same conversation CLC was was having with their kind of mantra, we followed suit with that same thing. Yep. This is the the AA degree. These are the 10 areas you need to get these done. The
conversation needs to start with what are you interested in first, right? >> Yes. Agreed. >> So that you are choosing some of those classes that match up. >> Um especially for PSO because you're looking at it should be of interest. it should be meeting some of those requirements too because we have the
core areas here, right? Um the other piece with conversations with families and having the conversation of are you ready to take an online class? So you're ready to take the independent because most of our PSO is online. Um is opening more of the conversation for
parents to understand that we do have that here and we have we have opened up some hybrid courses as well where it's partially online and it meets two days a week to build some of those skills, right? That you still have this person though that is connecting with you regularly.
>> Well, and it was proven tonight that it's obviously needed. a very high flyer that can win the triple AAA award. Doesn't read >> doesn't check email, right? >> So, doesn't have his parents at this thing because >> the parents got letters. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah. >> It is one of those skills, right, that >> you need to learn as well. >> Moving on. >> Uh MCA testing, it's coming up. Everybody's excited about that as well. Um just Oh my god.
>> Typically, yes, the excitement is palpable. >> Hard to contain it. >> The typically at the DT, we share the preliminary results that we get. We won't have preliminary results for the new test. This year is the reading test
uh into the MCA 4, the new version of it. Uh science test was last year. Both of those scores won't be out until probably November of next year. So, >> wow. Um yeah, it's pretty late after the fact, but um part of them >> looking at the new data that comes from
this new test and well, we saw the science test data from last year and it was not good across the state. So, um so the only one that potentially we'll have is some math scores still because it's still in the old version. Uh technology, just u an update, we did
do that password reset. Uh we had a fishing in incident. um and spread kind of like wildfire in terms of through student emails >> and so we initiated the reset and uh went really well. >> I got two in one week. >> I got one from the
>> I don't think I got one. >> I will check with >> and I'm still getting direct. I'm still in my school. I've never >> They may have put you into a separate group. So, they may not have pushed it to you. >> Okay. When would that
>> It would have been the week of the 17th. So, >> yeah. February. >> I don't think I had Who would have come from? >> It would have come from tech >> high school principal. Reeves. I got one from Reeves. >> Okay. >> I will double check on all of you. But in terms of everybody in the building,
>> it went off without a hitch. >> No need. >> Good. Good for them. >> Yeah. >> No need. I'm still getting the emails. >> I don't want to change it cuz I don't >> As long as you're not clicking on any emails that say click here and enter your username and password. >> Good day, sir. If they start out good
day, sir, to you, sir. Don't open it. After the 150 I got just for the superintendent search, I was able to delete. I'm really good on not opening anything. I don't have to. >> There you go. Perfect. Um, and then the last one I have there is Raptor. We just keep moving forward. Example is there's
a puck that's installed up there. They were installed all throughout the building about a week and a half ago and now we've been testing the system and so we're progressing forward. Perfect. >> Nice. >> Anybody have any questions for Mr. Heringa?
>> Did you get that the app on the phone thing worked out? >> That's part of this system, >> right? But you had said that you wanted it on we were hoping that staff would put it on their phones and the staff is responding well. >> Yep. There's a couple people that maybe don't want to put it on their in their
phone and it is up to them. Right. Right. I know. Um but over overall um on the PD day which was February >> I can't think of >> 16 >> 19th >> 19 >> the Monday presented to staff and
overwhelming I went across and then afterwards went to go talk to people uh and most people were in support of it. Okay. >> So, um, we have kind of some protocols that we're setting up in terms of if somebody doesn't want to have it on their phone, how do we still collect that information? So,
>> I'll be honest, I probably wouldn't put on my phone. >> And there's >> it took a long time for Sourceful to get me to put anything their stuff on my phone. >> They also have their Chromebook and they also have their desktop. Their desktop, they have the website they would they would log directly into. Their
Chromebook has an app that will have it and then their Smartboard will have an app as well. >> Okay. >> Uh anything else from >> activities? We did not meet. Uh but it looks like most of the winter activities are wrapped up and we will go over them the
week of March 23rd through the 27th. >> That's you right. Aren't you on that now? you activities >> you two. >> Yeah. >> So, we'll set that up afterwards. >> Okay. Facilities
>> did not meet. >> I'll just do a quick update on still not heard on the NDE um approval. So, waiting for that so we can move >> forward with user groups and all that stuff. >> Y
>> budget. We did meet on February 19th and this is going to present to us probably before we do Yeah. before we do any action items, we're going to go through a business manager report and watch land. >> What do you think I do all?
>> Yeah, >> that's what he thinks anyway. the last three months. >> That's what she told me. >> Did you hear the popcorn machine? >> Amen. I will be real professional. >> All right. >> We need to get some homework done.
>> We're going to start with our second budget revision. Um so you all should have a copy of that in front of you as well. Um so the highlights of our second budget revision. So savings to our budget. we were able to make some
revenue adjustments based on more recent reports from MDE. Um there was a HR contribution. So when we with our contract language, we have anyone hired after 2011 gets $1,500 put
into an HA contract once they um complete a year. But if they leave, so if we have anybody that leaves, anything that was in there because none of them are vested yet. So, anything that was in that account automatically goes back to the school. So, because of that, I was
able to put $42,000 back into our budget because that's what was allocated back to the district. >> How long till they're vested? Just curious. >> It's 15 years. >> 15 years per per year per person. Correct. >> Y 15 years to be vested. >> Correct.
>> Okay. Um, and then summer school. I when I got to digging again in the budget, I saw that we still had summer school in the budget. Um, and notification had gone out to our budget committee. So, admin had decided to keep about 7,500 of
that in the budget just to try and get some staff to do summer school this summer. Um, so but 12 12,500 went back into the budget as >> Can I touch on that real quick? >> Yes. So, we cut it, remember 20 grand.
We realized that we actually didn't cut some of that. Administratively, we met and talked about it and decided to keep some of it in the budget at this point just to try to recruit and retain some summer school teachers, not knowing how many we would need to bump their pay up
a little bit, which is part part of what that 20 grand was for. We were never going to do transportation this year, which we didn't do it last year, but we're not doing the summer camps this year because the numbers were down last year and we just decided So, so basically what that 125 is to kind of set aside to pay teachers extra.
>> Okay. >> Right. 125 is 75 was popular when you had to drive it. And then >> yeah, >> so then increases were some salary changes. So again, January 1st, teachers were allowed to make lane changes if
they qualified for lane changes. Um any staff taking FMLA this year, so that accumulated to about 32,000. Um and then we did 16,000 for the softballouts this last fall. So that was in there as well. So if you look down here, you have the
projected fund balance is going to be about 16.6. six. Um, we are about 15 to the good. Um, so that's a difference. So last fall at the first revision, we were negative -266. So now I'm projecting that we're going to be about 15 to the
good. Um, so just my fun little charts. So here you can see the revenue and how that split out from local levy to state aid to the federal aid. um accumulating to about 18.5 million in revenues
expenditures. So I have two fun little reports. So one broke out by program. So this is just showing you the where our expenses are coming in and which category they're spent in totaling about 18.5.
And then this is by object code. So now you can kind of see this has salaries and benefits together, purchase services, supplies, capital, etc. So just a little bit different breakdown, but you can kind of see. Now this one doesn't include staff development. So
this is why you're going to see this one's only 18.4, which is the other one was 18.5. So that's that kind of short and sweet. Okay. So, we made a motion I'll make a motion to approve the 2526
second budget revision. >> Any questions, comments? >> All those in favor? >> Opposed? Motion passes. >> Any other questions? >> Oh, yeah. We have more. Are you wanting
to do this business manager report for additional things? >> Might as well. I would just go through that way. >> Yeah, I've got a list and we can kind of go >> Oh, through some of this is going to touch on some of this my Yeah, we're
going to kind of cross paths here. Um, so the rest of my budget business manager report, which I believe I handed those out as well. Um, so now that we've finished the second budget revision, we can now get started
on our budget for next year. So, I'm going to start getting that going. Um, last year, if you remember, we were under some ESSER/Cares Act monitoring. We were also under special ed monitoring. This year, we were under food service monitoring. So, that's what
we're working through right now. Um, so they've made their second request. So, we're we're just working through our requests here. It's also time to go out for bid for our food service bid. So that is being put together as we speak and that will be advertised and we will
go out and gather bids for next school year. Um current budget spent, we are in month nine now. Granted, we're in the very beginning of month nine. So that's we're almost 75% through the fiscal year and
we are spent 60% as of right now. So we're trucking along. We're looking good for the end of this upcoming school year. Um, second budget revision. We just did that. I'm going to touch on the next couple of things. Um, CTC account.
So, that's the money that we brought in for the naming rates of the CTC center, events that have been planned in there, etc. So, that fund balance is at 122,000. So that was what it was literally where we were remembering it incorrectly.
>> Yep. >> I saw that email that you had. >> Yeah. Yeah. I thought we had spent this. So after all the different concerts we've done and we got about 100 grand in naming rights from CTC. So after four or five years we got we're 22 grand to the good. So
>> that's awesome. >> So I told John, I said if you came across some concerts to do next year for the community, I think you could bring some of those back. plan a children's program. >> We did. >> Okie dokie. >> We should bring them back.
>> They were just embracing. >> Childhood >> on seven shows. >> Yeah. >> Um what do you want to go next? I heard somebody volunteering to plan help on the planning. >> Oh, she's got the gabble.
>> Let's go to school readiness fees. Um, so my proposal based on the fund balance in the school readiness fund is to propose to keep the fees the same for next school year. Um, again, we we keep applying for VPK, but we will we won't
know until April, more than likely, end of March, maybe April, if we get VPK. So, With that said, >> get that for this past year or that will be the upcoming we get it. It would be for this current school. >> That's what I thought. Not
>> so much. >> Yes. So, I would make a motion to keep the school readiness fees for 2627 the same as they currently are. >> Okay. Is there a second? >> Second. >> Okay. >> You see, do you remember the last time we raised them? I think like the last
three years, we've kept them the same. 2020 five to six years. >> That's good. >> And how many do we average on the voluntary prek? >> Last year I think we had 40 seats.
>> We increased it 2020. >> Y 2020 was the last time we increased it from 1,950 up to 275. Do the school readiness teachers um salaries increase with everybody else's salaries or are they on the teachers
contract? They are in the teachers contract. >> Are they increasing this year at all? >> The teachers contract. >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> Every year they get a lane change, >> right? >> Do we consider the fees to cover I mean is that what the fees to cover but it
doesn't cover enough is what you >> lane change and then there's steps. it does cover them and then there is some money that is going into this fund balance. So that's why I'm recommending that it just stays flat. We're not going to increase because we're we're doing okay with what we're what we have.
>> Okay. Yep. Yep. >> Cuz we had that program, right? So 40 seats was there like So did 20 kids pay and 40 didn't? So, it's on a they have an eligibility
requirement list. Okay. >> So, it has to be it cannot be for any kiddo that's five before there's a date. >> Um it's like the very beginning of September. So, they cannot be five. They
have to be a fouryear-old. Um you want to give preference to your kiddos with without IEPs first. >> Without wow. because they have an avenue to get. >> Okay. >> We get funding for them as well. >> Yep. Yep. So you go that route and then
once you have hit those ones then you can kind of then you can use they call it dual enrollment. So they're dual enrolled in BPK special ed. >> Okay. So thank you. >> Any other questions?
All those in favor? >> Opposed? Motion passes. >> All right. So, next let's go to the projection model. >> Board members, you remember we uh last year hired Ellers to help us with this projection model
>> and that's where we kind of came up with uh last year cutting 200 grand u per recommendation moving forward because when we looked at this projection model, remember it went into the pink or the red, right?
>> Question. Yep. So, this kind of ties into Missy then gets the numbers put in from this current year and we go through some different things and Missy and I'll sit down and look at some things that we project moving forward. It's some of
them are we know costs, some of them are guesstimate costs. So, we plug them in and then uh so Ellers helped us with this last year. So, um it was a good tool for us to use in the projection model going forward. So within the model, so we kind of play
with it. Last year I kind of showed you guys all the different tabs that we could do last year. So I always update our enrollment tab, right? So that we have the most current butts and seats. So I know that I'm working with the most accurate numbers. Um I can work with my
revenue. So next year the legislature has come out said our CPI index is going to be at 2.68. So I can pluck that in here. So that's already built in here. um they're going to be adjusting the formula for compensatory revenue next year. So the meetings that I've had,
they've said that our compensatory is not going to go down to less than what we have now, which is not what I'm seeing on the reports. So reports coming out, I am seeing that we're going to have a little bit less. So I put that number that's in the reports so I can be
conservative. Just a plan. um expenses. I put in a salary increase of 3% next year because that's what we know we're going to get. And then I did an estimate of 2% for years after that just just to have something in there. Um
um then we can have so like we have this reduce and add tab. So we can these are kind of my play tabs where I can kind of just when we're looking at what can we do for next year or what what do we know is going to happen. Um, so we just kind of plucked in like we may end up
reducing a elementary teacher next year based on numbers, right? Obviously that can change, but as of right now I put that in there as a reduction. Um, we have a savings from the superintendent contract. Now obviously that's not going
to be the same amount going yeartoear. In the ads I updated the schedule C that was approved tonight that 15,000. In the ads we also have the weight room project. So the 400,000 that we're going to take out of the fund balance to put towards the weight room reading
curriculum we have we're projecting about 200,000 in reading for next year. So that is in there. Technology budget we anticipate that we may need to increase that about 20,000. We may need to add some special ed to the middle school high school
area. Now granted with special ed we kind of took into factor that we get about 60% of that back. So that's going to be about $34,000 adjustment of budget. Um and then the district employee contracts that was approved tonight. That's also in the ads there.
So with all of that in there, so right now this is what we approved tonight, the 15,000 to the good. So next year we're projecting about -449. Now remember that's 400,000 is already out for the weight room which is a onetime
thing. 200,000 for reading curriculum which is on a rotation basis so won't happen again for another 7 to 8 years. So with that said that's a449 which I think is pretty good considering what we put in and then you can kind of see the
next year because some of those were just oneoffs. Okay. So then the next year we're predicted to be in the the green again the 300 a positive 300,000 >> when we're in the green that much then is that to um do we I mean obviously costs come up you never know what's
going to happen really but ideally it's to re um it'll replenish the funds >> there you go I couldn't >> Yep. So it basically goes back to our kitty. So >> yes, >> which is projected to look nice if those numbers stay the same.
>> Yes. >> 1.1 million is looking pretty down there. >> Keep it keep in mind >> keep in mind like as you said you have the one time expenses for this year but you might have more onetime expenses. Again,
>> this is a snapshot, >> but um also we're projected to be pretty good at the end of this year. So even if let's say we come in 200 to the good this year, now that 400 grand next year is only 200 grand. Right. >> Right. >> So the other thing is keep in mind when
we cut 200 grand last year, 200 time 200 plus 200 plus 200 plus 200 plus 200, that's 800,000 over the next four years. Where would you be if you wouldn't have done that 200,000? Exactly. >> You would only be to the good $300,000 with not much wiggle room.
>> Right. >> So that projection model told us we needed to make some adjustments. We didn't kick the can down the road. >> You take it that year right now. And that's what you need to do every year kind of moving forward. >> Are all schools using this?
>> Not all. >> I don't think all. >> No. Eers just kind of created it last year. >> Are having budget problems? Yeah, it cost us to to hire. It's not much. It's like >> $4,000 for us to use this tool. Is it
>> worth it to save the money to save? >> It's a game >> and and really it's Randy putting in a lot of numbers for us. Really, >> he created the form and then we can adjust and play with it. >> So, it's really a nice little tool. So
it it we're in good shape moving forward and even with that 400 grand next year that may not be as bad but like you said that's reserve savings unreserved. >> Beautiful. >> Any questions on the projection? >> All right. And then am I touching on D
letter D on here? >> Um yeah. Well either that or Becky can. I don't know. Becky you want me to cover that? sheet. You may as well cover it because this sheet is about you want just operating capital adjustment from athletic complex project. Yeah, I'll let you talk. >> Yeah, that one. Okay. So, so a couple
years ago, Missy, you can jump in if I just say something wrong. How's that? So, when we approved the financial for the athletic complex, we had to take so much out of our reserve dollars for so long, but your budget, you only get so much capital each year. So the state
says you can spend 300,000 a year on your capital because that's all you get, right? So every year we had to take so much money forward to pay for that project, but you can't take it all at once because you only get so much capital from the state. So we push some
of those dollars down the road and we plan to pay for them throughout the year. So we owe 3 >> 13. Yes. >> Well, that's what we're going to spend down. That's what we're going to that's my proposal to spend down this year and then we would have 49,000
>> left. So roughly about $360ome,000 left to pay on that project. >> That doesn't adjust, >> but we had already spent those dollars a few years ago >> affect your fund balance. That's not going to affect this number. Yeah. >> I don't have it in here because that's
not in the budget this year, but the fund balance would change like >> Yeah, it would go from about 15 >> it go from 16. >> So, our proposal is let's just pay $313,000 more
>> to kind of get most of it off the books because now you got the weight room project coming on. you just want to get it out of. So, we're going to spend down >> uh 313,000 because that's all we can. We can't pay the whole ball wax, but let's
take $313,000 out of our unreserved now for this year. Pay that down and then so our our unreserve falls from 16% to about 15%. >> And our our thing is what nine to
>> 7 to 10. Yeah. So, we're still very healthy. Yeah, I move. >> Well, I think that's a smart move, too. Especially moving forward with with the the new project. So, when you got the haters that come to us and be like, "Why you just did that out there?" Well, guess what? We we got it covered.
>> Yeah, it's paid for. We have 50,000 left, which is a drop in the bucket. It'll be fine. >> Well, I think that's a great idea >> and it'll be haters. >> So, >> technically, I don't think we have it as an action item. It's just an FYI. We shared that with the budget committee to
put that into the budget to move forward or I'm sorry the >> budget committee. Yes. >> FYI. >> Great job, guys. Anything else from Missy? >> No. Good job. >> Anything else from budget?
>> No. >> Thank you. Thank you. >> Moving on to other update on the Paul Bunan education. So, I know there's been a lot of what's going on with Paul Bunan. So, at this point, Brainer is not removing themselves.
>> Oh, they changed their mind. >> They changed their mind. Yeah. So, at this point, everything's kind of been put on hold for at least a year. Uh we did a fiscal analysis. Um so, we kind of recommended to do a a to Paul Bunion become its own fiscal host and not
Brainer doing it in in finding out more information. That's very complicated. It kind because our contracts are tied to Brainard's contracts. Um, and two things have happened. The teachers union, Brainer, has to allow those members to
be taken out. In other words, there's 40 employees of Paul Bunan that are no longer in the Brainer union. So, I don't know if they would allow that. And it's becomes it's very messy to do that with an insurance. We have to offer the same insurance that they currently are on.
Well, we know how good the insurance plan is, right? So, how do you find insurance for a small group of 40 people with that great plan? It's going to be very, very, very expensive. So, for now, everything's kind of put on hold. Um,
so, uh, we'll share that with at our next executive committee when in May, April or May, whenever that is. I can't remember. I think it's April. Um, but so right now everything is asis. Nothing's really changed after all that drama and this and that. So, well, that's where
we're at. So, >> so nothing. >> So, nothing nothing's different than it was. >> Everything is the same. >> Yes. Okay, great. >> Okay. Um, superintendent report. >> Uh, yeah. >> Report on your trip. I swear to God,
we're going to walk up. >> I can tell you I know how long I'm staying next year. How's that? Not Not just eight days. I guarantee that. Yeah, exact two and a half months is my plan. >> Wow. Good for you. >> Um, no school this Thursday, Friday,
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. >> So, uh, that's up. Uh, we had our spring sports meeting and some sports have already started as of today. Uh, Ed Foundation dinner is on Saturday, March 28th. So, they have a silent and live auction. And then also some things are
going to be online auction this year. So, you don't even have to attend. That's coincided with the the musical high school and musical Annie, which those tickets are also on sale. Uh tickets are $45 for adult and 12 and under are $20.
Um and that is all I have, Madam Chair. >> Oh, wow. Thank you. >> Any questions, superintendent? >> Wow. >> That's on record. That was to work. And you wonder why I'm retiring.
>> I believe I believe we approved a contract in so many days. So, >> all right. I would entertain a motion to adjurnn. >> I will make that motion. >> Second. >> Second. >> All those in favor? >> Opposed? Passes.
>> A second. Fine. >> Well, first >> week of the 23rd to the 27th, what works for you? >> Oh, we did the 18th. Whatever works best for you guys.
