I will tell you this last [Music] [Music] Je [Music] all right we call reading order
stand the United States of America the for it stands Nation indivisible andice right we move on to the adoption of the agenda I move to approve all right School Board
recognition just a note on this you might be thinking oh you're off a month or two because it's normally celebrated in February as you may recall um but um the Minnesota school board has made a shift to doing that now in September um I
think it's a good idea it aligns with starting of school for students and staff so um you know we do have the right month and uh we did put together a little treat for you guys and we have some other things going on for the month to recognize you but just wanted to
publicly thank you thank you for your [Applause] service governance from all right got me up there
absolutely good all right I don't know if you're excited to hear an audit report tonight I kind of nice to break the ice on the first one of the season so thanks to Jane and the
business office staff were able to able to present final um reports here for you tonight and um you know it's gotten to be quite an undertaking you know getting ready for an audit and all the stuff you have to pull together and all the stuff
we have to put audit reports now these days um and here we are so that's uh that's pretty awesome okay we'll do that no Tech all right so um B copies and stuff
are in front of the um board members here uh tonight uh clean opinion on the financial statements so um it means all the numbers and everything are presented and measured and everything in accordance with um generally accepted accounting
principles um we had one finding on internal controls over financial reporting so basically um your business office um takes care of all the numbers and everything like that um and then we audit those numbers and then add um you
know 60 70 pages of riveting uh reading for you um so anyway that's the only finding that we have on um the financial statement prep this is a finding that you've seen other years as well um it's kind of the framework that we that we
operate in now so uh compliance wise Minnesota legal compliance um no findings there so Queen B Health on um statutory kind of Min Minnesota statutory uh compliance things that we have to look for we go to the next slide
um we did have um a federal what we call single audit but um it's an audit of Federal grant expenditures and um this year we are able to uh just uh test the Child Nutrition program uh we had two findings there
both uh kind of procurement uh vendor procurement related so um with the procurement process you know the statutory requirements kind of at $25,000 where you have to start documenting more multiple quotes and
reaching out to multiple vendors things like that and document that in the file um however the federal requirements started at $10,000 so we had three items in our sample in that gap between 10,000 and
25,000 um where they just needs to be more documentation in the file for just that specific um layer of of procurements um very easy things to fix um going forward more kind of kind of
housekeeping items so um those are the two findings on the on the federal um there's a few changes coming up um next year around um compensated
absences so that might cause a change in the fund financials we'll see when we get to that point but there are you continues to be more changes coming um looking now we'll start uh giving you a few numbers here so looking
at general fund and these next few slides are going to be on fund balance so basically Financial Resources remaining at the end of the 2024 year June 30th um that carry forward and for use in today and future
years so um general fund the unrestricted and assigned fund balance um is at $5.2 million now um few things happening there um so in kind of insurance uh
workers comp insurance you did not have like a a premium adjustment you know for the 23 24 year so that was um kind of a welcome uh kind of a devel so that was good to see um interest
rates are up so what you're making on uh interest that you're earning on the liquid asset fund Investments are generating more income um as well as just um you know kind of careful Management on your
expenses um so revenues kind of came in over budget um expenses came in under budget um couple things then when you're looking at this particular slide um the unassigned portion of your fund balance is at 14.5% of the
expenditures so kind of the goal that you have um that you've set for yourselves is 10 to 20% you're right in the middle of that goal um just a word of caution then so all of like the covid money that's been
flowing the last 3 years now um that's used up now so um for starting July 1 here this year you're back to you know fully back to reality basically right so um Car Act money is
done um and then we have uh kind of budgeted for a deficit spend in 2425 so we'll probably see that you know pull down if actual comes in um relative to
budget okay um next slide is some classroom um uh type restrictions so um classroom related restrictions uh restricted use funds came in at just over $700,000 um there's a couple new things
uh in the restricted area now for classrooms is literary reading and then student support Personnel um Aid so um that's new for 2425 so kind of relative to that uh that's why you see an increase
there um that's available for future use um ALC also had uh some fund balance remaining at the end of the year uh the next one is operating Capital so kind of a not necessarily classroom
restricted um fund balance so let's see where at One More slide forward there we so operating fund balance um 561,000 at the end of 24 um kind of as a result of timing of
curriculum purchase so um there's a curriculum purchase uh budgeted um came in either under budget or didn't happen until the year that we're in right now so that's largely the reason um operating Capital increased uh long-term facilities
maintenance is the next one um that's holding steady at $548,000 so basically putting those funds to use as they came in um those Carri forward um food service that one increased as well so
the Food Service fund balance is $573,000 um couple things happened so with 2024 um this one's kind of been you know food service has been kind of all over the map um during the co years so you know you started out Co kind of normal
free and reduced then um 22 2023 22 I should say all meals were free through the federal program 23 is Back reality 24 is now back to normal free and reduced for federal but the state is
kicking in and making meals free the rest of the way um at least for the students so um participation then within the meal program um is a little higher I think as a result of that um the other thing that happened is basically expenses came in under
so there was um an oven purchase that was budgeted for um but did not happen in 2024 just for the simple reason of supply chain um that particular oven is on back order so
um we were under budget for expenses there um kind of looking or kind of have um purchases in mind um to use that balance then going forward and that was really one thing that um the Department
of Education at the state level was looking at all these Food Service funds because a lot of them with the federal free meal programs the previous two years um almost all those food um food programs or Child Nutrition programs
know fund balance so then what the Department of Education said is well we're not asking you to you know return that money to the state but we do want you to use that use that fund back so I
think you've got plans in place um to put that to use and start drawing it down I think your maximum um that the state wants you to see and fund balance or have in fund balance is 25% of expenses so um the next one uh community service
fund balance um a little bit of an uptick there about 275,000 and largely uh related to SAC so Sac revenues uh came in over budget uh for 202 um Debt Service fund not a lot um
exciting to talk about here um basically the levy requirements for The Debt Service fund is you have to Levy 5% over and above what you're scheduled to pay for principal and interest um in the coming year so generally you see kind of a slow build on fund balance as a result
of that um shift gears to some Revenue um numbers here so general fund revenues um came kind of ugly didn't it about $19.2 million in
total um 80% of that uh revenue is sourced from the state um state of Minnesota so your state sources is a little bit higher um as a percentage wise compared to the previous year so
you had um two solar panels that were purchased and installed here um in that um brought with it $200,000 in state Grant Revenue um so that's reflected in the state sources uh Federal sources
revenue is kind of the yellow uh slice of the pie there that's a little bit smaller for the main reason that the co dollars are are going those are getting spent down um so that was about um Co money was about 500,000 a year ago it's
about 250,000 for 2024 so um then other income uh the red slice the pie is a little bit larger than last year um again because you're earning more interest income on your liquid asset fund Investments so that is a that is a
good thing um the other thing that is reflected in 2024 is just an increase again in the formula rate uh for general education Aid so the state is trying to push some money um and get school
districts um increase increase in the school district's funding um to try and keep up with costs at least um next one is general fund expenditure so we had 19.2 million of revenues we have 17.2 million or 1.7
million of expenses and this is kind of show you showing you what um what you're spending on so the largest um slice of the pie um the dark blue uh area is salaries and benefits so right at about 70% um that's
pretty normal um 70% maybe up to about 75% is pretty normal um are pretty difficult for um the spend on salaries and benefits purchase services that includes um hawwaa Valley um your
special education program dollars as well as Dasher and also um Ed Ed Midwest so Ed Midwest is new to the mix uh for 2024 and managing the it
operations um let's see capital is I'm not entertaining enough all right uh Capital spend um again that's largely the Sol solar panels um that came through in 2024 um the next slide is the same
expenses um but just looked at from the program perspective so not what but where um kind of are we spending money so the yellow slice of the pie is regular instruction so that's almost half of
your general fund spend if you kind of work um clockwise up to the dark blue shaded uh slide um slice of the pie that's people's support so that whole kind of 34s over 34 of that pie is
basically instruction related so in the classroom uh regular instruction vocational special ed um instructional support pupil support So 70 7 cents on the dollar think of it that way in the general fund is going into the
classroom um to support students um all right um enrollment is the next slide so this is another reason why you you know you need to keep an eye on your budget and what you're spending on um
enrollments kind of had a slow uh decline over the five years so um just over 1,400 students to end 2024 sounds like it's pretty steady going into the 2025 school
year here um but each one of those um student units or pupil units kind of think of it quick math is $7,000 easily at State a almost 7500 so we can do kind
some quick math you you can see what the what the downward pressure is on your budget um at the same time the state's increasing the formula rate so they're trying to keep up with that but that's just another reason um to keep an eye on
your spend your expenses um the next slide is just a fiveyear trend of the general fund so again you can kind of see you know you're you're over that uh time period you've been managing your
expenses um pretty well um so you're able to show kind of those um increases or incremental increases in fund BS year over year for the most part not every
year um and then the last few slides that I will um kind of highlight here are just some expenses on a per student basis think of it that way so two slides ago we had kind of four
um the even numbered years in the trend line the dark blue bars which is your District um the even numbered years coincide with new teacher contracts for faculty contracts in each of those years
and then kind of what we're uh comparing this to the two bars on the far right um the lighter blue is districts in the state with between a th000 and 2,000 students so you're kind of like right in the middle of that zone with your
enrollment um the far right bar is just all districts in the state so comparatively um what we saw kind of you know back on the pie charts was you're spending Less on a percentage basis um on Administration overall and that's
kind of reflected here as well and then um you know kind of the normal spend here probably 8 to 12% um you're more at the lower end of that range of the 8%
so um making efficient use of your Administration um spend the next slide then is regular instruction so and this is the largest kind of line item in your budget that came in at $8.7 million for
2024 a little over $6,000 per student um um there's a little bit less now of probid money in here in 2024 as well so prob money is going down um so
500,000 year ago total 250,000 total in 2024 um and then it's you know it's done but here um you're kind of dividing those expenses over a little bit smaller enrollment number so that kind of pushes
that up a little bit but you can kind of see comparatively um doing very well tracking uh you know with other districts of similar size um in the state when they're averaging about $6,200 for regular instruction and then the last
one is special education so special education instruction is about $2.4 million um here you're participating in um in the co-op with hawaa Valley so kind of Shing cost with a number of
districts it helps you uh kind of manage this category of spend because it can fluctuate quite a bit just depending on the needs of the students and those students can come and go um on a year-to-year basis so you can kind of see the
differential um compared to other districts at least of similar size um they're spending almost $800 more on a per student basis so being part of um High the valley is is benefiting you in
that regard as well so those are my prepared remarks Mr chair I'll turn this back to you for questions or anything like that or
anybody question move to accept the report motion by Julie second by Jake all in favor all right presentation thank you thank you very

September is School Board appreciation month again as a union we recognize the important um and difficult job that our school board has to do to help our school students staff and community and thank you for the hard work time and dedication all right members of the
board I know later in the agenda you'll be addressing an action item on a level three grievance brought to you by the PM Education Association the situation deals with the staff memb ability to access their sick Bank after use of PTO as per our contract
I will hand out or I have handed out an explanation of the situation as we see it and an outline as um we believe the benefit was wrongly denied to a teacher we ask that you please take the time to read the statement before taking any
action tonight I am more than willing to answer any questions we also would like to state that we can provide multiple examples in the recent past where the district where the district has allowed other staff members to access their sick Bank in a manner very similar to the
situation in question we'd like to point out that the contract has not changed in regard to PTO and access to sick Bank during this time nor does the contract state in any place that PTO or Bank leave needs to be used in consecutive calendar days the PM Education
Association is seeking full restitution of all the employees lost wages as a result of taking on paid days when their sick Bank should have been allowed to be accessed thank you for your time and consideration this manner [Applause]
good evening um I brought some mil just so I don't wander too much but um school started pretty good my old is third grader this year and with talking with some other parents um we were kind
of moving through it and noticing that the class sizes this year are up um my daughter's in with 28 right now um some have 29 27 but that seems to be the age um and maybe you guys have better info
than I do but looking at the kind of state averages I couldn't get more uh Regional than that it's about 23 for that GR I'm focusing on third grade but I know this is kind of every grade has its own challenges right now the part that we were kind of
talking about though is this group in particular is potentially the most affected from the co years um they would have been in preschool in 2020 kindergarten in 2021 dealing with all those disruptions we have the feeling
it's anecdotal um that kind of the Baseline is lower for this group and noticing that the class sizes are up are they going to have the support they need this will be the first time they do the MCAS this
year for what that's worth but um so just wanted to bring attention that this this grade level specifically is potentially the most affected and it's too late to you know add a section I'm not suggesting that but in the meantime
can we um move support in there in the classrooms math especially thank [Applause]
you and Lori good evening um I just want to start out and say thanks to the board for um the that they do to try to organize and um get details out and I'm speaking to you from a perspective as a
former teacher and also a career 20-year military officer where I have run more meetings and organizations than probably any person in this room so with that I draw your attention to the agenda if you have one in front of you uh number 11
governance section two item k dissolving the curriculum committee imagine if you will um showing up to work or to a meeting and you get there and there's a pink slip on the door with your name no
explanation committee's dissolved thank you for whatever um you really don't care well I am a sitting member of that committee and that is exactly how I felt when I pulled up the agenda to get ready
for the meeting it's like I'm I'm no longer a teacher I'm not a board member I'm just a Community member but I take the time to participating to be on here and then I see that it's being dissolved and yet I had no idea no
idea that that was even being considered and I checked with a few other members who also did not know so my point here I do have strong feelings about the committee and its purpose but the point is the communication if you can act
unilaterally and make decisions about a committee that has public in it without their either um advice or comment or concern why do you have a committee if you're going to act
unilaterally um someone told me it's perhaps not being dissolved that it may be being renamed or something okay that's fine but as a standing committee member I think that I and the others like me should have been made aware at least so
we weren't blindsided um communication is a huge it's the the first few goals of this board and has been a long time and we kind of missed the boot here on this one and curriculum is a big deal in this
school I think we can do better um I know it's hard I but details are important thank you thank you [Applause] all right principal report I mind but uh um I've attached my
building or my uh board report and just to run through that quick starting off the school year we have a lot of um new enrollments so a lot of kids coming in um in fact we I can't of laugh because we even had a lot of kids that were moving grade levels so right to the very
end the poor teachers that didn't really know what their class was because it was kind of a moving Target the whole time so uh Miss ganic did a great job handling all that stuff all the new paperwork coming in and slide here and there and I don't know how she keeps it all straight but she does so uh meet the
teacher great success again we're at 98 99% attendance for that so that is awesome um letters training we did our first full day during Workshop was a lot to take in for those teachers that are doing that um we have um our first this
actually in Wednesday we are taking this is our first half day where we keep the kids in school um but the teachers are are taking three hours a day and doing more training so um we'll see how that goes as is our first one we have eight of those once a month um that we do that
through the through the school year um my last two uh are not as positive I've got ESL I got word that my ESL par was not returning and I got that Monday night so we were scrambling now to find a uh to help all Mrs heing and
our ESL department so we're trying to find that and then we never did get any applicants for our speech and language Pathologists so we've signed a contract with um Innovative Therapy Solutions and now we are getting that up and running
but looking for up to help so anybody in the crowd knows a PA please send them my way we need a couple real quick thanks joh um similar things as Mr Right meet the teacher on that August was fantastic
great tour as always I put in there kind of just to you're aware it this is the second year have Mr Peter Mrs Clan do that active Transportation requirement it's for the Walkers and the bical safety that's only the second year um Miss Deets who's here tonight she's doing a new thing for the vocal students
at the 4th fth and sixth level end of September through December Tuesday nights if you want more opportunity more experiences vocal it's after school for our fourth fifth and sixth gr absolute fantastic idea for those kids um last two things same as the reac we have that
again like Mr R said on Wednesday all the students are in the building we covered the 46 Elementary with our specialist for grade level got Art byet Van choir we're going to rotate that while the teachers are training we got it we're ready it's just going to be a little different so that's this Wednesday for the first
one and the last thing had a long list of fees Stacy asked that last month that word me at the end I just want to be very upfront those are the exactly what we do the expenses and again um as was said as you get older yeah it's quite a bit of money the strong majority of
parents thank us and time we do something they really do thank you for taking the time going to forth selling the capital going to the Science Museum there's some educational experiences that they wouldn't get so overall I think our community really supports this as I said last month anybody has
difficulties we take care of no one misses these trips because of finances so I just wanted to give you that entire detail list thank you thanks M uh first the at school I just like to highlight um obviously all of our kids come that
day our 10th through 12th grade students come in the afternoon um meet their counselors get a quick uh visit with each of their teachers but but I think most importantly spending that whole day with the nth graders and the nth grade advisers and our Bulldog ambassadors is a is a really great way to start the
year get some connections going um schools that have that type of program uh they benefit from it a lot uh throughout the year and those Bulldog ambassadors are not just it's not just that day they're there quite often with the ninth grade students and
advisory so that was a really positive day um we launched p calendar app um had an opportunity to join up with the blue mango software essentially this app just
links up with our Three Rivers calendar um presents it in a little more maybe user friendly way especially uh on on your mobile device so um looking forward to that it did no cost to the district no cost to the user
um the company does look for potential uh sponsors in the in the community um but it's a real I I think it looks really nice you can get it on either of the app stores or there's also a web version but it just presents stuff in a little more cleaner
fashion um last year we started using parchment transcript services for our 12th grade students if you remember this was a a piece that we had to add uh for that direct admissions program that we entered into um real quickly to remind you about
that our seniors can enter into this direct admissions and they get access to last year it was 55 colleges and universities in Minnesota and basically you kind of get you choose the schools you want to potentially apply for it and
they tell you if you if you'll make it there's no application required no fees things like that so it's just a quicker way you get accepted into Minnesota colleges and universities that was a positive program and worked really really well for that
um previously was our office staff you know downloading or printing off and then faxing or whatever took a lot of time U we are expanding our parchment services to our whole High School um so when we do transcript requests that will
just go through parchment all students um current students do not have a charge still so that's still we take care of that it's just through parchment um former students do have a charge that's not any different um we we have
charged in the past it's a little more since we're partnering with this company but again none of our current students uh are charged for that service um quick update on high school graduation we have this information posted in a number of places senior
letter activities calendar now then also on that PM calendar app we have both the main date and the rain date on these pieces of information um the only slight change from uh past years well I guess we have two um we are
going to have a we're going to shoot for an 8 o' start time and we do that if you've ever sat there at 6:45 or 7 o'clock the sun's like right in your eyes uh so we're going to try for 8 o'clock that's our Target time again if
weather has us push it back or or up you know we'll have to determine that and then the makeup date is June 1st again hoping for an 800m if we end up having to use that uh date and then my last piece was just MCA dates so last year we
had two late starts to get all of our MCAS in we used the regular late start emergency weather calendar or bell schedule we're going to do that again this year we had a very high rate of you know most all of our kids got it done on those days it was really really good and
allowed everybody to just focus on the MCA um I know usually our all school calendar only has stuff from you know that impacts the whole school we could add those late starts into the all school calendar or I can just continue
to communicate with all of the stuff that I send out either one I don't know what um your preference would be as a school board but we can do either one of those other than that uh we're overall off to a really good start to the year we still are um down one uh special ed
per and down one special at the high school um but we're doing the best we can and again off to a really good start all right thank you gentlemen student hello everyone and thanks for
having me um our student council has stayed pretty busy throughout the summer we participated in El Tuesdays mil Valley River days CL corn on the cob days um with representation in each par we also spent some time face painting
and Elgen and plan view during those events as that's really our only fundraiser throughout the year our summer events were great and they really prepared us for a great school year our latest event which was um family fun night took place this past Friday before
the football game in Elgen um we offered a wide variety of events and activities for the community including bounce houses a petting zoo face painting we had some food trucks there um a magician show and several other activities the
turnout was great and it was really fun to see so many members of the community out there having a good time um I just want to recognize bulog Nation foundation for their support in making the event a success with the grant that we received from them I also wanted to
thank the PM FFA program for helping us put on the petting zoo it was definitely a big hit and we're glad that they joined us for that um overall though the event went great it was really a great way to start the school year off on a
positive note um looking forward we are preparing for our homecoming week and we are excited to work with staff members school board and community members that overall just make the week a great time and experience for everybody um we're looking at implementing some new
strategies and ideas into our events including a homecoming dues and don'ts video hopefully kind of just boo scho and focus more on what homecoming week should look like but overall just looking forward to a great school year for everyone and getting the community
involved in a positive way thank you guys for your time and support thank you I just [Applause] want I've heard some very good things about bulog ambassadors throughout the community so that's really exciting yes like Mr L talked about it's a great
program way to kind of make connections with the nth graders especially the mov to new school getting getting into their schedules and all that so Mr arold and Trish do a great job of that
too I know we attended fun night and it was very nice you guys did a great job putting it on and thank you okay all right maintenance report attached have any questions on
that Community headed report have any questions on that monthly budget report I didn't attach the budget report you used to see in each month that audit's going to stand for our budget report for tonight we've already done done the action on that um so I can take any
questions if you have any beyond what the auditor told you um otherwise feel free to reach out if you have any questions other than that I am going to duck out after this superintendent anger has um agreed to take on the levy certification uh action item coming up
but really that is a preliminary and um they just posted those reports over the weekend they're not right uh comeon at this time of year MD pH Miss has a few steps Works bugs to work out um so we didn't bring that report either because
I would have been more confusing last year we were at right around 3.3 million on our Levy dollars expect it to be that and a little above and it's important to remember a part of that Levy is the opab levy is in there at around 100,000 we also have the school age disabled uh
disabled school age child care Lev that about for uh fund four that will come on this Levy also tonight we just ask you to stay preliminary and really all that does it means we can go up or down but if you don't do do preliminary and not is specific dollar amount we cannot go
up above that so this time year we always ask for preliminary um maximum if you can do that for us tonight we'll come back uh we have to have by State Statute approval for that by September 30th so it'd be nice if we had the correct numbers I'm actually attending a
meeting tomorrow where MD will be present so we should be able to figure this out and this is just not uncommon for the reports to need a few more calculations um and then we'll ask you for a final ly certification in December and that's at that point where you will set the exact the total dollar amount so
if you have any questions regarding those extra dollar amounts please let me know and then we we'll talk about that some more and that's all I've got unless you need anything else I'm gonna uh before we let Jan slide out um just want to publicly thank her um in the audit you
know that Craig presented it's a lot of work for the office staff Mara and Char but especially Jan because of what she oversees so a lot of extra work went into making that um audit go smoothly
and I greatly appreciate [Applause] that my son has a meeting that his last SC meeting yes thank you all right superintendent it seems like a night of
thank yous but um the first thing I want to do is just recognize our staff principles so it was great to have the opportunity to see how pem schools start um I've been in uh about four or five districts I guess as a teacher um admin
so I always love to see how um things operate and it was a very good start always a few things we're going to work on but overall um great effort and really appreciate everybody's part uh in making that happen so I'm glad we got
off to a good start and we'll be working on those other issues um if you want to click that first enrollment if we can try thank you so much I was actually going to see if we could make it a little smaller just to to get the whole thing I I'll light a
few things on here it is in the maybe 50 I don't know go ahead and just sorry that's you're almost there smaller that's fine right there and don't really worry about the numbers here so much as those last two numbers uh a couple um
and Craig shared some of these numbers so 1404 that's where we're currently at um K12 I guess prek-12 there's a prek number in there and then 1390 you see that in red that's what we budgeted for um and a
couple things as I talk about numbers um you know early numbers versus a little bit later and by that I mean like even the end of October that's really where we start to solidify numbers so um can you open the next attachment
and um this one maybe try to make a little bit bigger or just open it and it should so a few things um going on here and and we did have uh Ian appreciate your comments uh especially um you know I listened or caught you you know
talking about the need or maybe waiting for some data so we are going to do some benchmarking um and this one doesn't show up very good in the um however this is opened but but you get the idea it if if you look here you've got two numbers going
on there it says 104 that's what's on that sheet that um and and what the number that Craig has we also have 110 um that's because we have six migrant students currently in those classes so I
am very new to um um dealing with migrant students and families so a lot of them um in the plane view Elgen milville schools they may be leaving us in October um but then again talking to John and some others that deal you never
know sometimes this plant might keep more they might move them um so we're keeping an eye on that and I'm keeping an eye on it is okay in third grade you can see um part of the the the higher numbers are 109 we''ve got six
migrate students in those in that class okay um so I want to assure parents and I I've had other uh uh staff member reach out to me as well um that's something that we we will definitely continue to look at and as we get these
first benchmarks are we seeing something um that in Reading uh math is there an area that we we need to help to try to focus on to get a little bit more help in there as well but as far as watching the numbers um yeah I I have a system in
place that pretty much in both uh all three buildings our secretarial staff does an awesome job of keeping these up to up to date so when something happens I don't know if you want to scroll up John there it might even be in that corner hard to see but yeah this was
revised on the for so if somebody comes and goes the expectation is um I get another kindergartener you're going to put them in there and and put that as a revision we're walk actually watching on a on a daily basis U next
Tab and this just breaks down um and they did it a little differently and I didn't want to have anybody have to redo it but but this breaks down just a little differently for our um fourth and sixth grade and then the final Tab and you don't have to um make that big again
the differences in those numbers are just are our migrant students and then these are our totals and you know my process now um I'm already starting to look at our
staffing not only for this year monitoring it and how is it going but also looking at what does this look like for our district next year so a few things I like that I I see in in our numbers early on
um I've only gotten about four or five to respond in local soups um that are about our size but I can tell you 103 is a better number than a lot of districts around us um so when we look at declining enrollment um you know if you
look at our our prior years 103 is a pretty good number not back to I think our is that our sixth grade that's 130 um those days may be far and few between we got 11th grade on there at 127 but I I would say anything in that 90 and up
number um is is is actually not a terrible number um in terms of our staffing what that allows us to do is continue to at least maintain a four section class um in my tenure at Lake
City we started running into um 80s and maybe high 70s those those are tough numbers to try to to try to deal with so there is a silver lining or or a light at the end of the tunnel that it isn't all gloom and doom um I think I even
heard Craig use the word we have a very slow um enrollment reduction and that's a lot better than having something that's that's way more escalated and as you look at these transitions are really unknown for next
year and and I be working with Katie to to know this number as quickly as we can at least a ballpark number but our kindergarten otherwise you've got third grade um they they're going to transition into fourth grade and that's
a good number 103 our sixth grade going into seventh grade is 114 and then our largest group the eighth grade is going to come into the high school and they're 130 so when you when you're looking at just kids and again A lot changes I'll talk about that
when I just highlight a little on the in and out but you know next year our 46 building um which have 294 students it's got 305 this year so again pretty good um you look at our 78
you would have 216 it's got 232 right now so again not bad the high school will be even larger it'll have 468 students in it next year and it's got 430 so that just helps in and then again
each group like the 130 the anomalies we as a District have to make that decision on class sizes and sections but overall um with our current kindergarten um looking transition into next year um I
really see the kindergarten variable and then how do we staff within pretty much what we had this last year so and then we do an inout um with the secretaries as well that's not attached there and
what that does is um on those IND idual sheets were updating what is happening in classes especially in our prek-3 those are selfcontain classrooms for the most part so those are important to know our numbers when you start getting above
that even the four six um I guess still self-contained but doing less especially 712 at the high school a class number really doesn't matter it depends on what that student is in or isn't in um but in our earlier numbers um those are really
important and that's why I have those individual sheets that we can update on a daily basis in our overall as a district um it it's very interesting and I track this um in my time at Lake City as well I just think it's important for
us to realize um as a society we're much more mobile um we have 52 total students leaving us um over the summer this is just from um last June that number that
you had on there um to today so we had 52 students um and a lot of them are just parents um Family moving flat out moving relocating um some of them might have come here um under open enrollment
from a different school and now they're going back to their original school I didn't see anything so far that sticks out um we do have uh um six going to the alc or dropping out at the high school level um and then Seven online so even
seven online when you have a population of you know for well even if you took your Juniors and seniors that that could go online I don't see as out online as being a you know a huge problem for us yes um I don't want to lose seven
students but for those students that might be the type of education they they choose to to take um I am going to continue to dig in deeper um they've done a great job of keeping the sheet but I I still don't have quite the detail and when I talk about October um
that's really the driver for our enrollment that we receive Aon so right now um the state really doesn't recognize our 1404 it's that final number that we are able to give them in October also once that's done because it
uses Mars data I'm able to go in and and run reports that'll tell me um for instance how many students are are leaving our district open and rolling I can see that through a report and see exactly what district they're in Rochester Lake City doota so I'm going
to hold off and bring this back when I can um make sure my data is 100% but like I said overall I don't see anything glaring within um you know the movement of our our students we have a net positive if you count the the migrants
we have 66 new students but you got to realize 30 of those students are are migrant students and might not be with us um after October so like I said I I'll bring it back with October data to just keep that alive but I wanted to make sure not only the board but patrons
knew that um we are looking at those numbers in the elementary always every day I think that's it John talked a little bit I did I wanted to make sure that we brought up about the um speech and and
um this is a company we vetted so there are two very good companies that do the virtual speech therapy um this person um we elected to go with because um they really work more actually I think totally in southern Minnesota um the
other firm does a very good job to but they are a national firm and and we just hope that we can get a little bit more um care and service on you know not without things being totally spelled out in the contracts so both very good
companies I think we're going to be um very satisfied with the company went with but I also know um in talking to the folks that have them the service the students are receiving is as good as if as if the person was in person so that's
our goal committee reports Southeast service Co-op is attached nothing additional additional meet and confirm okay and finance committee I was at thatting
reach all right but all right the consent agenda I move to approve the consent agenda by Monica governance music department travel proposal it works thank
you okay well we're really excited to um bring this new opportunity for our Music Department this is primarily aimed at the marching band and then we're starting a travel choir which Elisa will talk a little bit more about um just for something that for the students that do a little bit extra above and beyond just
our regular enrollment uh the travel company we have selected are working with at this time is Adventures they're run out of Rochester Minnesota it was started about 50 years ago by two teachers that traveled frequently with their students um and they have done a fantastic job if you are interested in
seeing more about their policies and past grps that they've done we have the website there this is Paul Larson um we've been working directly with him he's the president sales manager and just some information on him as well you like to look at that later here we have the C
uh we'd be leaving the 22nd of June 2026 and returning on the 26th uh planning on taking a five day trip with the students who can attend so this would be marching band all students going into e8th grade um our enrollment is for
marching band is for students going into seventh grade through just finished 12th grade we would only take that one year above just to make sure that they are been in junior high and they a little bit of maturity Independence
over yes all good stuff so they do need to be registered for both marching band and in their school band Ensemble the only exception to that would be Color Guard members are not required to be in the school Ensemble that is our flag FL
drill um and then the travel choir we'd start that um any students going into eth into eighth grade and up um who are they have to be registered in the travel choir but in order to register for the travel choir they have to be registered
in choir in school as well so keeping this not as just extracurricular like part of the curriculum as well and here's our itinerary for travel first day we would actually go through St Louis and the students would be able to go and see the arch as well the day two
we would uh have breakfast at a hotel drive through Memphis have the city tour and go to bunch of different shows that day but then when we have days three and four is when hopefully we would also be able to perform at certain areas as well because we want to bring these uh not
just for fun but also to perform in a different part of the country really and uh the biggest Parts would be the graceand tour and also the tour of Sun Studio oh yeah there's day five we drive home and we have pictures of all of the different different things that they've
been doing so far okay so this is the details I get the fun slides um so these are our cost options we have a couple different ways that we can look at this um or we fund this so if we do
all chaperon free the company suggested one chaperon per every eight students attending if the all the sherons are free the first number is based on if we have 40 or more kids on each Co coach bus the second number in bold is based
on if we have 35 to 39 students on a bus so if we had a situation where we had two buses and one was at 40 and the other one was at 35 they would average out the price so whatever you're seeing in olds it's
going to be around that um in the all Shon free that would include so the shopon would be paid for and then also the directors are paid for the bottom option which is what we are currently leaning towards would be um we
would not pay to go on the trip um we're uh tour guides I think on the trip and technically what we're doing um again the prices would average out there if the buses were at um different occupancy um the chaperon would pay $1,000 to go
on the trip so it would take off about $600 per person um for the Shon okay so sign up and payment uh one thing that's really great about this company this website here tiny URL 1026 this is where they would sign up and register
for the trip we would not specifically be handling any of like their registration details this is all done through the company um this link is live so if you click on it you can see what they would see we can't actually register anybody
tonight so but it would come up like this they would click register and they'd be able to fill in all that information tells them when the trip is and then it tells them um when the registration ends so that March 23rd would be of 2026 would be the last time somebody could register for the trip um
so we can go back to the slides then um they would each get an individual link to their account so they can share that to family or friends to make donations directly to their trip cross so they want to ask for funding instead of birthday presents or whatever they could
do that um pretty easily our funders proceeds can be applied directly to their accounts through the company and then Adventures will specify dates that like a deposit has to be paid and then the second chunk of it has to be paid so they're very on top of the details with all
those we had some fundraising ideas from us and from our students were very excited about they're very excited for fundraising I don't know why they're very excited for fundraising uh so a lot of these are going like the top ones are going to be for the fast food restaurants it's whenever they get
10 to 20% of the proceeds go to uh the fundraising then we have the community yard sale idea when were we planning on having this oh so I was thinking about during um one of like the community celebrations like cheese days or Corner the cob or river valley get have at one of the schools do kind of a garage sale
in maybe the gym or one of the Open Spaces um and the proceeds could go towards their trip yep and then we also have like music themed movie nights like they do uh cities along with raffle tickets script gift card sales which I just found out about today those are
great you just put money on them and then you get money into your account or it's wild it's wild I will explain that the script gift cards so we purchase gift cards um from a company kids get like about eight to 10 a little bit more sometimes percent back so you could go online we were looking at some of them
today um there's like food brands but there's also like travel companies old like clothes that type of stuff so really any expenses a family already has they can purchase those gift cards and then they get a percent back donated to the the trip and then doing some sort of family like trivia night bingo night and
then a parents night out where we would talk to the students who were also in the uh organization that do kids club or same care during the summer um they talked about doing something where we' offer it to like kindergarten through third grade or fourth grade students um
could come and do like a movie night or a pizza night something the older kids would help run that and help supervise be there of course and charge like a flat rate for parents so that they could have parents right up and also ticket taking and refill Goods is willing to help us out as
well oh yeah I forgot um why travel well this can definitely build life skills and Foster Independence for our kids um expand worldview so show them more of the world
instead of just what's here in PM um grow friendships I know when I did trips when I was in high school around their age I definitely gained friendships and learn more about people through that um definitely unique performance opportunities that they've never thought
that they could do before and then um just some Recruitment and Retention for the music program as well so thank you any questions that is our last slide any questions or motion so I move to approve the visic
department tral proposal acceptance of donations I move to approve the donation second Julie strategic plan discussion so um I did reach out to msba um you can see in this one page or somewhere in
here I I did allow them to put a placeholder so we do have a spot with them um they're not as busy as they were in the past they're still busy busy but um they can accommodate especially if we look at doing it um next fall if we do it yet this year they're they're open to
the discussion a couple of things in talking to them because it's important to remember we have a superintendent search that you're going to be doing and um I gathered from the conversation from last
month's meeting you want to um redo a survey a patron survey um as a part of that correct correct okay so in their world they talk about um survey fatigue
so if you survey your patrons on one thing um you might want to try to capture as much information from that as you can because your odds are getting us them to do multiple surveys it doesn't work too well and that's just not Pam that's pretty much everywhere in that
they work in Minnesota so I would recommend and um that we work with them on infusing some of our strategic planning questions along with the Strategic um or the superintendent
survey and they're used to doing that they would know what kind of would be some key questions and and um might throw some of the survey questions regarding the superintendent that but that's what I would suggest um so those
would be bundled also one of the first pieces we could do on um and we don't need you can see $1,000 1,00 um we don't need to do the cost part but um in talking to several board members I think it's been a long
time um if ever that you've done a board self evaluation so what that is is you're not um like Jake for instance he's not going to go and evaluate himself as a board member he gets to by himself evaluate
our board from his perspective and Julie does that Monica does that Ron does that and then all that information comes together so we can take a look at what everybody's thinking about you can do that for free I think it's 27 questions
um and it'll give you a one pager and then once you see that one pager because I've done this in other districts um you might be interested in oh we could maybe do some work on this page that's where the 1100 $100 comes in so they would
actually facilitate um we talked about a retreat a board retreat um that would be them them facilitating that with us using that data um from our self that so I think that would be a huge first step
for um I just get a little worried when people just want to keep thinking we got to do strategic planning and I'm not arguing that like I said we had a great vers today um we got a lot of things going on that are going really well we can always improve and I'm all about
that um but right now what I want to do is uh I want to try to help set a foundation that's going to make that strategic planning worthwhile um that's the most important thing so keep scrolling
down oh back up um so I do have a dollar yes so if everything was done by msba and it's imp person I mean they just gave me I guess I call it first case or highest cost um you're looking at
$115,000 to do um the strategic planning um process anything we do along the way like let's say we do 1,00 um on the board retreat um that comes off of that total amount so now if it was 15 and
again that's worst case scenario but if that was the highest number now the the the the Strategic part planning part of it only cost us you know 14400 14,000 so everything we do with them along the way keeps keeps coming off with that because
we may decide to do even more work um internally even after that board retreat if we chose to do that they're used to doing that they're used to um walking us through that and then setting up a plan um within the
board go back to the very top um and I I did have the opportunity to talk to a few folks that have done some outside I just think for what we're trying to do um completely brand new old uh strategic
planning I I would strongly suggest um we look at committing to using msba the reason I believe so strongly in msba and and I've been through um I think Gail was the person from Southeast Co Co-op
um I've been through msba and and I've been through some others and um I think even Gail might have been part of msba at one point and then um ended up doing the Consulting with um uh Southeast Co-op they they know what they're doing
there's there's a reason we might have to spend a little more but I think we get a little more and I also think if we follow the steps correctly um build a good foundation and and we're not going to be waiting um if you scroll down
again John there's um you know we've got the questions also a big key with this would be um after our self EV Val um we' be able to identify those key groups that we want involved in this strategic
planning process we could start to on board those folks so basically I was like oh so you're saying we could hit the ground running next fall in um I should have said msba not me they're like that wouldn't be the the the wisest thing to do either they would really
want the new superintendent in place um let him or her get their feet and their own feelings um in a feel and then started so really you know we would want to Target in January instead of the fall of actually doing starting to work for the
strategic planning process but again all those groups would be in there um a much simpler survey at least to get us started we would be done you they did say you could revisit the um survey component sometime later in that year
between the fall and in uh um January again worst case scenario um if we did that there's another cost but that comes off of that 15 total so when I look at strategic planning my recommendation would be um
to give me the go-ahead um to to reach out to at no cost there's no cost Associated right now um for us to do the board um self evaluation I believe the superintendent is a piece of that um so
that that would be my part too but I'm not 100% sure but I know it is you the board for sure obviously board self evaluation but it isn't like I said it isn't a huge burden it's less than 30
questions Eric is the $155,000 is that's just for the strategic planning or is that for yes okay but anything we do um let's just say that we choose to do the um the
ongoing stuff um that's like I'm going to use the 1100 that's there for the board retreat to really dig do a dig into the self EV valve um results that comes off of that total cost was that
like a ret a retainer then no um basically the only retainer is if if we're going to do this um we should make we should move from being penciled in to committing to being in with msba but right now they're okay with with putting
us having a mark for us so to say the spot for us we haven't fully committed anything and you can also do The Bard uh selfie D without committing any funds okay so then it includes relevant questions in the superintendent survey I
assume that we as a board come up with those questions they kind of guide us but uh they kind of guide yes you certainly could um the big thing is there that you're going to mix um that superintendent survey um along with strategic planning
questions um there there's some that already overlap into Both Worlds we just would have more um of the strategic planning in there without making it too long of a survey so that nobody fills it out and if you're not interested if you
still feel you know what no we should do um two separate surveys um that I need to know because you're going to be um here shortly you're going to get together to lay out that whole calendar and there's more nights and more involved when you do the survey because you've got to um spend the time to to
break down the survey results but I I would say on that we need to make a decision soon than later if we want to commingle the two or if you want to keep them separate I think one survey makes sense instead of trying to go out with multiple surveys to
people I like that idea and what about um taking the step towards the self eval is there any feelings on that supportive of it I think it's something that um would be good there's no commitment like I said we'll get the one pager and then we can
make a decision whether we want the $1,100 is for the um retre the retreat not sure if that was an action item or not was on for discussion all right additional msba policy updates
July 2022 action and these are just more that we're catching up on that's not a misprint on the dates Marsh is doing an outstanding job but um in our process we should have had these connected last time too but we caught it these are
nonnative changes um basically just is getting caught up on those so I move to approve preliminary preliminary Levy certification well Jan kind of told you the story on this so basically they had
to have it ready by I think Friday um it was a it was still wasn't available to print over the weekend but it was this morning um got on tried to print it and it's got some major errors which is to they not not
throwing them under the bus that's pretty much part of the process and they go to work on correcting those errors and get everything right um you've been through this before so um but she used the word I haven't heard before but basically you're going to um Levy the
max because by law you can only go down you can't go up so we'll revisit it with the U the real numbers a little later but at this point you always Remax what was the word she used she had a certain
word for anybody remember Clark no all right so uh the action on this would be to Levy the max I make that motion the truth and Taxation we did that in July so that good to
go change a regular board meeting this is an action item can't have it on Veterans Day but you can have it uh Tuesday Wednesday or Thursday of that week I would recommend the Tuesday but I haven't really looked at sports I know
some of you have that going on to do it that Wednesday but definitely wanted to do it that same week if at all possible Tuesday so that would be the because we need to canvas the election results within that time period
yeah that would work Tuesday would work normal time I make a motion move the November board meeting to Tuesday November 12th at 6:m second second by Monica all in
favor 2025 spring head coaches I move to approve the spring coaches for as approved by as recommended by Administration okay by Monica to approve the coaches as recommended by Administration
second I'd like to make a Amendment to the motion we that discussion first discussion on this practice you could have discussion but I don't know if it's worth discussing if he's going to amend I just
well usually you have a motion in a second yeah I just have a simple comment to make I would just like to see us as a board come together to show our Administration we trust them make this um approve this recommendation and take
a positive step forward so that's just my only comment I'd like to make I'd like to make a motion to or amendment to uh don't we have to vote on it first or no not if he's going to
amend okay I'd like to make an amendment that we do each sport individually on that discussion on that item so the motion has been made and
amended that we vote on Spring head coaches individually V those in favor no no so Mar
okay Julie har individually yes Ron Springer yes Monica no Jake no Roger yes okay so we open them up
baseball are we doing motions on all of these we just doing straight votes on I move to approve Scott PL to be the baseb I second all those in favor I move to approve Ben Peter as a
softball coach second I'm going to myself from this vote all those in favor I I all those opposed I
call Jake Thompson uh yes Ron Springer no Julie har no Roger Raymond yes move on move on to the next one boys track and field I move to approve Mike
andreen as the boys track and field coach second Jake favor those oppos motion passes I move to approve Nate file sticker as a girls track and
field coach second motion by Monica second by Jake all those in favor I move to approve Brian Barnes as the head Gulf coach second motion by Monica second by J
favor next item is Scott angler girls varsity basketball coach to approve I second made by Jake second by
Monica in favor discussion I just wanted to say that I have I think that is a much more qualified I she would be for our girls basketball team
discussion okay all those in favor of the sky basketball coach allst call Jake yes Roger yes Ron yes Julie no Monica
yes moving on to the agreements I would ask that you if you haven't and I I I I have not um had the opportunity to read what Mike shared with you attach to the grievance letter itself I think I don't think I know this
grievance started um before I started here it was something Darren dealt with Mike and I did meet when I came on board um I did take the time to make sure that I looked it over myself um in my opinion Darren interpreted the contract
correctly um I I also had Shard break down last year we had over 400 hours of Bank time that was utilized from about uh I think it was 25 30 staff or so at least in last
year's analysis and I didn't it takes some time and effort of course to put that together I didn't want to go too much further back um the two days of consecutive um days off before accessing it were
were used by all those employees so like I said um I'm not exactly sure the new information that might might have in these um notes but I was able to review everything that we had available and discussed this with
Char who was in on the decision originally with with Darren so if you support um the administrative take on this um there is still recourse for the the union it would just go to
right now I think it's a level three y grievance it would go to a level four if the the union wants that and then an outside arbitrator would actually look at both of these um stories and tell us who's right and who's wrong so I to support the administ
decision motion made by Julie second by Ron to support administrative Insight on this vote all those in favor is all the curriculum
committee a discussion on this yeah um there has been some confusion about the curriculum committee and the district advisory committee as to whether they are two separate committees and so um as Ron and I were
busy we thought it would be though I hear the from what was said earlier um to dissolve the curriculum committee and then as per policy 603 and Minnesota state law to move um to have then start a
district advisory committee the district advisory committee is to be um made up of teachers community members and it would be Ron and I in that and would curriculum but this is
this is the state's way of giving community members the opportunity to look at the um curriculum and it's two3 majority of that committee is to be made up of comme
members so it's not like we're completely dissol we're not taking away a committee that we're just re basically renaming it right to follow State Statute and our polic it would be a completely different
committee so the reason and and um the reason you have to dissolve your the curriculum committee is it's a standing committee that we have you have a resolution for it that's that's what we're looking at right here so you took
board action to create that committee you have to take board action to remove that committee I can't do that and then as far as the District advisory committee um that's a standing committee
um over the years this district has used it more um and sometimes less but that is in policy 603 um it's in statute like a lot of other policies um but exactly how that's
structured um we would have to to work on that a little bit most of the time you don't have board members on that District um advisory committee because the role of that committee is to give a recommendation to the board so if the
board's on it but we have committees that do that right now um the Minnesota State High School league committee I think in the past has given recommendations to the board it's just trying to figure out how does what does that look like we don't need to create or do a resolution for the district
advisory committee because that's already a standing committee you don't we don't we don't need to create it have we utilized it yes um if you look on Bill I think Bill ery when they did the strategic planning the last time around
there's a document I saw on our website that um does reference it and I think Bill Bill utilized it to some extent did yeah it was a it was a piece of the world's best Workforce that now has Chang
andol yeah that was probably the biggest connection was um the world's best work fors so you're you think that we should still keep that curriculum committee so that the district advisory can recommend to us and then we
recommend to the board is that what you're saying I'm in favor of dissolving the curriculum committee I'm just saying well we we'll have to put some time and energy into um exactly what does the the district advisory committee um look like
and and what is its purpose they're not exactly the same the the the curriculum committee had much uh it didn't involve Community it's a whole different um setup as far as the
commit still looking at curriculum but just how is it doing that and who's doing it um if you look at the uh the polic with the district advisory committee uh you keep going down further the biggest piece is and we have them in all three
of our buildings um the site base the site base folks do their work um and then it fil it filters into the district advisory committee so no I'm still in favor of um
dissolving the curriculum committee I'm just I we need some this got added pretty quick at the end of the we need some time to look at what what are we doing with the district advisory committee and how is that structured and who wants to so it
doesn't make sense to dissolve the CRI committee now and until we set those parameters up on it I just want I I haven't attended a curriculum committee I don't know I just need to
dissolve it and then real like we want it still where we want it there option is to table it and see where we go with this other that's fine make a motion to table table all those in favor okay athletic director time
allotment for duties uh full time employ so sorry um a lot going on and I did try to get you as updated information as I could but um probably could have tried to go in here and make it a little cleaner to understand but a few things
with our um pem number the 85 um that does include our secretary the stien and um 60% of um Scott's time but that's probably a high number because I know he does athlete it's probably including his coaching you know we just looked at what
was 60% or I did what's 60% of that total number there's probably a few things that could be pulled out of there but again it's it's at least something for you to to compare to um the 35% at Rushford that's that's what they consider or at least the time that
they're given for their duties and then you can see they do have some flexibility just because of the other duties they're doing CER 20% and then you can see basically they're Dina students so behavior issues they they got a lot on their plate too about
80% of their time is outside of the ad World Leon so keep scrolling it's as up to date as I can get it but it's it's still what it it was I think I don't know I last uh Doug
B retired from Lake City when I was there um five years ago anyway where that you keep scrolling to the end John anywhere that you're not going to commit to having a full-time ad you're always going to see this 50 40 60 um I'm a DEA
students I'm a uh ex Community ad director you can see that um combination it's very similar to what we're doing here at plan view um I think in my research we have always had the ad at
60% it might have taught math or fet or social studies or something different and then along with the stien um so these other communities unless you end up going to the fulltime I think it's just a matter of where do
you how does it fit into the puzzle in that community at that at that percentage any questions and like I said that number might be a little high all I can tell you is um if you scroll down you can see
the Lake Cities there right um so you know as a full-time ad yeah you probably get obviously a lot more things done um You probably don't have the bus company um to say something about a Miss bus
here or there but that comes at a cost that 100% comes at a cost of you know additional dollars I would say Scott's been putting in full I would say sc's been putting in full we have no extended that that
full-time ad at at Lake City has an extended summer contract folks besides full-time during the the school year some a few additional um duties a Dak cordinator that's your um assessment so MCA time also coaches like uh um Scott
does but yeah he's you you're right Jake and like I said even more so he's doing more in the summer that is unpa you cities um so other than I think Cass and manille and I don't know if they changed
um Cass and manille um when I did the research a while back they were at will employees so when you're an at will employee you have no protection of tenear anything like that everybody else like Lake City um Trevor neram is a teacher on a teacher contract so
basically you you're in the uh as without the assistant or anything like that I'm sure 990,000 would be your start where we're at with our part-time in that assistant Megan um very
impressive Megan um I mean we met with the bus company they talked about some things that they did I believe when it was Bill um was occur was the um director here at the pem site or the site um talked about
maybe bringing that back they have I also have access to that link it's been spot on um for the first and again I know it's the start of the school but that's important um just yeah doing some very good things um and I'm pretty sure uh
Lake City still has an assistant um the one that was there when I was there um moved on to the Alaskan Charters and I didn't follow closely enough to see if they replaced uh the assistant but when I was at Lake City anyways that full-time
person also had um an assistant they shared with they were full-time but they were shared with Community Ed how many stud when I left less than us okay close but we're a little bigger have a few
more activities they've got the tennis courts over there um so they do do boys and girls tennis um otherwise I think we be offer about everything they
do this still is a discussion item I brought it back from the last I I'm just wondering or Direction what is there another piece I can bring in um as far as information or anything or anything
to help in this evaluation Jake said it and I'll say it I've said it a couple of times I think you get a huge bang for your buck out of um your ad and your ad
system and if in my time you're thinking of spending money somewhere I wouldn't spend it on making the ad fulltime I would love a part-time uh curriculum director or I can give you other ideas of of how I spend our money over making
our ad whole time discuss or comments I do I have a question um data are we doing a data coaches in October the whole presentation
7 am tomorrow I'm meeting with our data coaches along with our principles okay I'm not doing the um the feedback I got from was it our last meeting or the one before that it just was too much to take in and it was a great presentation but I don't want them working that hard um for
something that we really don't don't value at this level so tomorrow we're going to talk and what I what I see happening is very common um pre K3 information to the board as far as data um will look completely different
than Mike's stuff at the 912 level it just doesn't exist for one thing and the other part is um they're already doing a lot of this work when we talk about those benchmarks you know in the testing in the math and reading especially we're
going to be they're not going to have to do extra work to share that but tomorrow we're meeting just to make sure with our data Co which is okay and and I have met individually with a couple of them and and they shared their ideas um yes they would love to present um we don't want
to overwork them also the MCA information um I still want to make sure as far as the principles and the staff there's value in that for some of us um even though it's postmortem I um so we will work that out to tomorrow in our
meeting and then I Envision if everything goes well we'll actually have a a data calendar um that that we will have those dates and who's presenting to the board and what they're presenting done tomorrow so that would be awesome
thank you I thank our coaches yes looking forward to that all right he
