Pacific. Madison Albright. And Reagan Elliott. So congratulations to these three. in April, we had The source.
Well, student character banquet. These are students that are nominated by staff, for
Different. maybe not the kid who has their name in the paper every week or is the captain of the team. but someone who displays
leadership displays, qualities, that we would be looking for in our students and and would celebrate in our students. And
so the two students, the first World character, they went to a bank with AT What's the place called the? new shops, the new railroad shops up in Brainerd old people, the people there you go. I
don't know what the name of it is, but really cool if you have not been there and the students, a source will students
that were recognized at that banquet in April or bring Grownups and Colleen. We had. for the first time in a number of years, we reentered the
region, five, a visual art competition. The visual art competition was held at. New
London Spicer, High School in the past month. In the old days. I mean, old days and early, 2010s late. 2008 nine in between there and 2015 when we entered the art show.
We were dominant in the art, show, our art students, we had 13 categories in the Region, 5A committee, and we would come out and win nine of those
categories. um, This is the first time that Miss Tortsen led. This led her art department through the Region 5A contest. And we had a number of students that received
superior ratings at the contest almost like music. They judge based on criteria in in the categories for Art and and judge your artwork. So I'd like to

adults, they took the plunge in really did a super job with it and almost Towardsen was nervous about putting just getting involved. Not knowing what it was and was pleasantly
excited about the success of our own students. When it comes start, we have talented artists in school. On whether it's in
music or visual arts. it's exciting to see those students have a chance to To put their work on the line and be recognized for the other group
that I have that I want to recognize tonight. And I'm actually gonna put them on the spot and have them come up
because See the activities director was supposed to be gone until next week. might briefing on, this has been. I know that
you're here. But we had a middle school robotics team that competed at the world's competition in Texas. Earlier this year. What state
was this year or Saint Louis? Yeah, they competed then. it was Texas, the time before correctly are
Um, but they did a great job and I'm gonna have Blake roaring Rose Rant and Charlie Barthel come up and just explained for give us a little one minute.
synopsis of the of the competition and what you did there. And come on, Charlie. Your area that you can go to
worlds. You talk to the school board of Ohio did it? You tell us a little bit about your robotics competition. What happens? Well, it all started with design process being there
was a big challenge going to stay um, working through all the problems we had publishing and we got there, we're just having
fun. There was the best of the best team around the world. Um, we place 3800 division of 80 out of the seven divisions and we were in the Hearts Division.
And it was just really fun. We were making friends and You explain what the competition is. What are you designing your robot to do? So essentially
we're designing it to put plastic balls into like a two percent and you're with an alliance. So it's a 2v2 and you're trying to control all the last few And so you design your robot for
the whole year, specifically for these challenges. Yes. And how much how many hours do you think? that you put into design
and build and training as a robot? Thousand was thousand plus hours. Building.
Practicing. What other countries and other places of the world? Did you run into the students from Headphones Adiola? Pretty much all Asian. A lot of Europe

to allowing these kids to go down there and show what they had. And the results speak for themselves, and it's just a really cool. Something that
started from A whisper of robotics Here. We have kids competing worldwide with kids from different places, all over
the world. So, congratulations to you guys into the entire robotics team for next one. Excellent. Showing at the World

Good work. All right, Superintendent report. Okay. Fairly short one legislature news they have a week left so about this time
next week. Well, for sure. Faith is I guess things don't look too promising. Things kind of good. Stuck in bills in the
house in the Senate so things aren't really moving forward too much and I've compensatory for sure. Will be about 85,000
to the negative that will lose. It is possible, very slim chance that we might get a little bit
of that back, but not Competent man. so, I'll put something go out there next week. Ones that you're for sure
what's going on. A couple other things that I just made some observations of some student activities, the last few weeks that are not on this list that
we have tonight. last week FFA had a some stations for the elementary kids to come watch and participate in and I they had some great leadership skills and
elementary kids had a great time over there watching and observing and participating in those stations. Went to the machine shop class, and there was, I don't remember 10 or 10 to 15 different
individuals in there. Working on projects, all their own end of the year projects. And A lot of trailers being made. But visit what's probably half
of them and and just good conversations with them. Great projects that they're doing. And then it was invited to go.
watch them girls. Golf team with two weeks ago maybe just was was impressed at the boys that they had and I'm not a goal for maybe that impacts my
perspective but it did a great job. Just A little balls. And then just we won't have the war being July for gradu. Just want to say congratulations to our
seniors for Job. Well done. And proud of them and we have all of us and That's wishes to them.
All right, any questions for Wayne? All right. Business Manager report written. chairs, Austin at home. Members of the board to President required. My name is
Bridget Marilieri. We are going to look at the March financial report. and all almost made. So I'll kind of talk about a few things that aren't in here that I did observe for April.
So adm, so just as a reminder to revised budget has, it's at the 904, the last report I could get has 885, but there's no ecse students, and some pseo is still getting
adjusted. So the hope is that we'll scope and close to that 904. Once those are all updated closer to your end, That revised budget. That was approved, has the deficit of all
funds at 143,000. general fund is pretty close. To free. And also that deficit is among the Fun214 and the Debt Service
Fund. At the end of March, we were 75% of the way through fiscal year and revenues and expenses are pretty close to that 75%. We did get a little
bit more from Mde related to prior year during April so that stated receivable has gone down a little bit. They do have till June 30th to true that up or down.
And food service. So I'm just jumping down to the bottom. We this is showing because food service is about a month behind. We 85,000 in April, and then
another about 82,000, in May related to April so things look very on track with that food service budget. So that's great.
We'll have down to. this is just kind of the graphical form and numbers that we will go through all the financials. You can go down to the balance sheet. you can see the cash balance there, that's
basically what was in the bank at the end of March and the big thing under the liabilities, I just want to keep pointing out that that salaries and
benefit summer, payroll or payable, which is what we need to teachers over the summer. So those are payrolls in July and August that they are. Going to
be fiscal year, 26 expenses. And so we just want to approve for that because it goes on your bank in July and August or it is
an expense for the system. Don't want to large expense, that'll get, you know if you're in. Before you can have down to the next page. So this is all funds
revenue and expenses. As you can see, the original budget on the left column, which is approve last spring, the revised budget, that was approved last
month. And then our year to date. Be as a. Comparison. You can see there that Revenues are about 72.
% of all 76% in a large piece of that incident services paid in January, our General Fund revenue. So you're going to see the top portion there, which is what we get. We get two payments from MD, each month 15th and the
30th and that is approximately 90 Overall. We should be getting about 90% during the school year of what MD owes us and then they always hold back about 10%. As
you can see that, we have an estimated hold back line there just so we can keep that in line with. Make sure that things. Still are at 75%, which is what
we are through. The fiscally in at the end of Mars here, 75% of The week, just to compare that.
In your federal revenues. So a few grants here, so the title, we can get reimbursed as we spend that, the Feds said is through mid-state into there's going to be a delay there, and that reimbursement, and then the
Perkins and there's a little bit of a prior year, adjustments, Perkins. Yes, and revenue this year. those related to last year then your local revenues are actually
trending a little bit higher than that revised budget specifically. Either the really the bottom three. So your athletic is a little bit.
almost at a hundred percent which is great that might pop over what we budgeted. And then similar scholarship and student activity revenues a little bit higher too. So that's about 86. 86%, and we're 75% of the weekly
year, so that's great. General Fund expenses, so you can see postage just a little bit high there, but a small amount it just percent the adventure before that, the libraries or some of
those expenses will be caught up in April and in May then we had, that's why that's low. It will get spent. The pupil transportation vehicle. So that is fully spent
and that is done for the year. Everything else here looks pretty in line. You can see that those expenses are for general funder at 73%. So that overall,
when I look at those line by line, I feel pretty good about that doesn't mean that, you know, something might not pop
up later but as we get closer to the End of year. Spending for tail. is general Fund revenant and excessive as a summary. So you can see that the budget there is
that pretty much that break even And then our food service. So this is the one I had mentioned that. This is a delay. So we're
actually missing when I just looked before the meeting are basically the march and April reimbursements and so revenues will always look low during the school year just because of that
delay from when we submit the clicks and then you're expenses a little bit late of really to just with as of course, food, you know, is purchased and
the bills come a little bit later. So this one will never really be online with that 75% march. Community had fun. So this one revenues are right on
track. Expenses are trending a little bit lower so hopefully there will be a little savings but I know that some of this is summer, you know, June expenses
as well with the summer programming. So, that's things this one, we did budget a little bit of a larger deficit, so hopefully that expenses are coming a little bit lower than budget, really? And then your
debt service, which is essentially those debt payments that we're done, you know, January. So that's pretty much spent so then this is the last part report that we have, so we'll
have an updated report for the finance meeting a couple weeks. Other questions on March, Alright, any questions for Ricky? All right, principal
report. All right, I have a quick laundry list of things here. Joel Swanson, High School, principal. Senior class that
we're getting down there. It's really starting to pick up with the end of the year stuff. We haven't seen your class trip
coming up this weekend. um, To Cragons, they leave Sunday to come back Monday. Hoping that
we have decent weather. Last year's class trip. Weather was a lot, like it was this weekend around here kind of cool and windy. And I'm hoping,
I don't know. They actually went wakeboarding and did things in the late last year, but I heard like the lake water is like not over 50 degrees yet, so that
might be a far cry to get on a wakeboard but They'll always be someone. So we have that this weekend. our award ceremonies
are coming up, they start next week, with our middle school on next Thursday. And then our senior high of the following week. tomorrow, we have our senior
portfolio presentations tomorrow and Wednesday, this is the first year that seniors were required to complete. The senior portfolio. The goal of that, in the future is that, that is a naturally occurring thing that
they don't really spend active time. Like homework on that, it actually creates itself. Um, through their classes and through their experiences as
they go through a high school, but we'll have a little 10 minute meeting with each senior that goes through tomorrow in three different groups and talk about their plans for
after high school and and go through some of the experiences and things that they did in schools to prepare themselves
for post-secondary. um, Final choir concert is on Wednesday. I had on here student memorial. If you have not checked it, it's
happening fast and I will tell you something about The group of. People that are working on
the student memorial. They're working with contractors and working with the concrete and the planning. and the ordering. And Um you just hear him talk about
if they they know everything that there is to know about what the project that they're working on which lends itself to the of this. This is something
that I really applaud this student council for. This is a project one of those that could get lost in the details, in terms of organizing all the stuff they
are right on top of this. I mean they have a deadline they're gonna meet the deadline they're constantly Working
planning. Changing as things come up and they've just done a tremendously. Good job. I really looking forward to seeing that space. Once it's completed.
So, I'd like to thank our student council and For their leadership with that. and then on Monday, we have fifth grade
orientation Our fifth graders will come over in the morning and spend some time. Switching classrooms and going to lunch.
and going back to class and getting the feel for what the rhythm of a middle school day as opposed to what the rhythm of a middle school day is opposed to what it's like being in fifth
grade because there is a big difference And so we have the plan that works out. Great. Our seniors are gone on the class trip. Our eighth graders are
gone to the Minnesota Zoo for the field trip. So, we have the space available. to bring the sixth graders in and give them a chance to navigate the building as pre
middle schoolers for a few hours on Monday. So, That is all I had from my report if you have
any questions. Or comment. I'm very thankful in this school. That we have the leadership of those kids. But I'm also
thankful that we have an administration that listens to them. Because that's not in every building. So at the end of
the day, they need to be heard. And if that happens here I appreciate that. So That would be building products that I'd like to put them on
these. I'll do a better than I do. All right. Sorry. I just gotta again want to listen things here. As we wrap up the school
year, You see a testing is complete. We're going through a fast-bridge testing as well here in the next week or two. We did
have egg day last week, kindergarteners in the morning and then a fourth of fifth grade came over in the afternoon. It's a, it's a, it's a hit with all the kids and
even the adults. are our high school, kids are well, versing what they're doing, and what they're showing. they're proud
of it and that that excitement lends into to our kids, one of their two, that won't necessarily see farm animals or Tools or some of these things
that are kids are doing right here in the school. So thank you to them. Arbor Day happened, a couple couple Fridays ago, Alliance Club came in and taught her
fifth graders about trees and how to plant them and they planted a tree but then our kindergarteners did that here last week they came up to the shop and they learned about
arbor day and trees and they had to take them home and planted and so thank you. Those high schoolers as well. Upcoming
things here. Yes, we have transitioning here on Monday. Lashing into two days. One day is sufficient to kind of get them into the strong things
they'll come over and they'll do a tour and I'll do some learning and there's a switching of classes and they'll leave lunch. And then they'll be able to experience post lunch and
get that feels like it looks like and come back and do some learning and then head back over to the elementary school in the afternoon. So that'll be a
pretty big day. We're doing other transitional. Things with them, the locks are there. We're gonna release some Elementary control and leading
them down to lunch. They can do it in the mornings. let's see if they can do down to lunch without a teacher and adult leaving them as as they do in
this building. So allowing a little more freedom, a little more maturity. the end of the fifth grade school years. So, those things will be happening
here as well. We are in the midst of field, trip season. We've got different groups going a lot of different places, and
we're actually bringing in the science museum. on Friday the 22nd and they're gonna teach our kids K through five about the water signal. So they've got different presentation, they
have an older group of the younger group and we're gonna get kids in and they're gonna learn about the water cycle for Science Museum. So that's coming
up. Now that last week is is go week. We've got kindergarten transition crossing over a graduation on Thursday, the 28th
at 9 am and on Friday morning we have our last bellary and work with Creators as they transition over to this building and then we've got Pto's leading field
day once again and we've got field day events and then bounce houses and it's a fun-filled day so
chaotic, but it's fun films. Any questions? Thank you. All right. Next is a consensus. So we're sending to approve
items was control as presented at one time and the director controlling item office in Central Agenda for further discussion. So we have approval
of regular board, meeting minutes claims accountant. financials Personnel changes archery for 6 through 12.
Technology Assistant Contract, Transportation Director Contract, non-union, Memorandum of Understanding for the 12 Months. And then the finance
specialist contract, the community education, director contract, and the City of Royalton and the Royalton School District SRO contract. Is there
anything anybody would like to pull? Somebody likes to move the consensus, the other. Your own. Thank you. I'll second our grandes. Thank you. Any
discussion. I'm super excited about the archery. I'm trying to do that for a few years here and that's
good. All right, all in favor. Say I I post I will abstain. Alright, number 10.
So, this kind of started. Optic. Or so the discussion about activity fees. AD meeting and we're looking through all the
different fees and at each district and we are We haven't had an increase since 2016. And not that that's bad but and none of this is bad. But we are
at the bottom right now significantly. The good thing about it, it's a great benefit for our kids and our families. But I think just
A bit of an increase is a good thing. It's still pretty low
with the recommended increases in there. I, so, Yeah, five, six years ago, we
decided we're going to seniors and for free. I really wonder. So, we don't charge for baseball, don't charge for
softball. The charge for football, volleyball and basketball. Why, why do we pick certain sports? Just because it's scalable.
and I really wonder if the revenue that's made is enough to Take the tickets and You know, I know in a football game on the weather's, nice, one of the
football when it's snowing and it's cold, I really don't know how much revenue there is. And actually totally increase I think, was it 40,000? Yeah so
when I based on what we're proposing, it should increase Caitlin have very detailed so much. And again, she was a little suit. I mean, part of the discussion with us was the
three of us anyway, was I mean, given the recommendation right now, we also think that we might be coming back in a couple years again or at least we're looking at it next year,
or year after but part of that was do we just make a more significant increase now or for you to Overall your general fund
athletic and activities loses about 350. so that's what you know, the state funding is You know, taking over covering so
again, 8100 is a huge dent, but it's something. And if we can continue to try to chip away at any, Little bit more wine.
Well. Yeah, I I understand it. I just sometimes I feel like More. We Tax. The people that
have kids in the school, the more we tax them, I just Here in the middle-aged guy. Kids ain't paying the tax, my parents ain't paying the taxes, my
parents and all the older people on the land in this. Area. And let's tax them some more, I guess. I don't know, I
just at least in my mouth and I know, you know, for me Season pass, you know, you know, you're gonna come alive season passes and cost nothing. I mean, what
do you got a cop, three, four times to see the past days for it. but, I don't know. They don't like catering, the idea of and, and the other thing
that's, you know, I've been a lot of basketball games. And people want to hit it and if they don't want to pay it, okay, they walk, right in And I know
people that do it all the time or watch them, you know, they just walk in. So, Yeah, I don't know. So you're you're honest and you're
You're just gonna pay more and it was is weird to me. This is weird. So That's my only
thought it is. You know. Looking at the comparison. it shows a family fast but we don't have to pass. We thought about
offering that I don't know. It would make sense and we see other schools that have it. We just do an individual, don't pass these two passes. they were fine without it but the
family passes kind of nice especially for me kept saying kids, but you know, It's an idea, but it's people like you
on this too, right? Yeah. Right, you know, I mean it just If you're gonna run like a business, you get around like a
business, right? Yeah, I just see you in the operate. if you figure out a happy medium, It's a pedia piggyback operating a little bit. I do.
I feel like you have parents who are already paying the feet of in the sport. then you're paying to get into the sport and nine times of the 10, if you're a district
family, you're paying taxes towards the district. Then you're bringing lunches to the kids. Yeah I mean I get it I don't get a reasoning behind it
but it is I have I have a husband because of it every time. Not that we go much now with our kids out but it's something to think about with you ever. Not
go because of it? No. Okay, I mean that's what I don't want it to is that you know somebody doesn't come to something because of it. I don't think
that's gonna happen. Thank you. Well, either there's a complain into it. Yeah, yeah. It's I don't I mean I get I get the just of it you know the reasoning behind it. I just
there is times where it's like Is a fair, you know, when you're putting that on the district families, but Someone's gonna
also pay for it, so but you're also getting into the Minister Mr. Families that come so correct. You know but that is part of the thing too, right?
Is like, when we go somewhere else, we're paying the seven eight dollars, Not the six dollars when we're there. They're bringing in that profit
and we come to our place. They're not not saying that needs to be profit or anything. When I was looking through this, Did I read correctly? That this will also include going to an
online card pay? Yeah, credit I think that's offered now, right? Just getting into it. Just getting
into it in the conference. Yeah. That's gonna take cash. Yeah. Some districts are. If it's well, it's hard, only if it's but cash, they're charging a
$10. and perhaps for cash and ten dollar ticket rather than a $7 schools that I really see people walking on. Yeah, ones that are cash only I mean the
old people just like, well I'm going in you're gonna have to call somebody and I'm going in. What are you gonna do? You know,
Oh, so what is the ball field? The money going to be used for. With this increase. What does that eight thousand dollars gonna go for? Just gonna offset
at what. so, like If you look at those financials like, I have broken out under localities and I think it was like 130,000 approximately and
then you're athletic expenses was like 400. hundred. So it's just gonna help offset what already your general fund, really. But the state is giving you instead of putting that towards the classroom, it's
being used, for example. Will the change in the activity, these prohibit? Any kids are being able to do these actors. That's the one. I'm more worried
about than I am. The Getting in. So for the fees for the kids that's going up, 15 bucks for each kid to do an activity. You think that will have any effect
on kids begin to do the the athletics? Is in the family rate. Also went up another cutter box. I saw further for a hole. In 3004 over here. I mean
that's a big investment for a family name. And they gave a lot of sports walking around. I just want to make sure we're not gonna take kids out of
activities, which to me, build a lot of character teammates. Lots of key things commodities, activities decisions forms, gonna say, I think there's always a way for them to be able
to. Okay, there's we should never that our goal is, I never have a student, not be able to participate based on financial Early. Youth wrestling terminal.
Charges twenty dollars again or more. I mean, it's all happening happening, unfortunately. So I don't. Think you'll get too much pushed

To other districts charge seniors. I don't. Yeah, just what we've been the horse on you. It's extra curricular, right? You're not horsing people to do
it. So they get the choice that they want to come or not. Well, I really like what Bridgette said, You know, that's what I kind of wanted to get to was
it's sports money going back to sports stuff, which let's the money that's supposed to go into the school. Stay in school,
running, going towards that. The student Athletics. All right, there's somebody want to make a motion on the activity. Pricing Please. Oh, thank you. I'll second
working. Thank you. Any other discussion? All in favor. Say I, I almost I was saying All right, motion carries. Ah, post. But
myself. So we will get the fiscal Year 27, budget last month and then we did go back and review quite a few things so that Highlight, I'm going to
just talk through. Basically, the full budget, one more time and highlight the new changes. So the big piece of course, adm This
did not change from what we showed last month in were 27. So, essentially 901. Students with that adjusted expected pseo, decrease of 11. So we expect about
912 kids in the district but 11 will be psl. So, you know, those hours that they're not here. So then that's where we come up with the 901. Um, the next two
pages are kind of just general fund. That's how you get to the revenue. But a big piece is that the state gave school districts a 2.69% increase in agenda and
formula for fiscal year 27. They give a minimum of two maximum of three based on inflation and their calculation showed that
that would be 2.6%. So Overall general, one revenues increased $160,000. So a couple big pieces at six revenue. So
AD says, is a new program in the district this year, you have expenses this year but you don't see the revenue until next year and it's 55% of the expenses are reimbursed the year after.
so we are seeing that revenue from the expenses because we're 27 and then overall, just 80 revenue with the increase of the 2.65% and then a little bit more e-rate Because the network
switches are even those expenses we get, reimbursed for eat rates almost. So That's kind of where you're seeing the increase in general fund revenues. So
then if we hop down that's good here and the general fund expenses. So big pieces, your salary and benefits did increase 276,000. And when I say increase, I'm preparing it
to your revised budget for this year. So, 276,000 increase in salary and benefits biggest. That's just based on your settled contracts right now. At
this point, we have almost all contracts settled. There's a few individual ones from someone else but we had those budgeted.
at, you know, we assume a little bit of an increase for those. Just a couple that we don't have done. Overall, any other line items that, you know, don't have big? That not big individual things
in them. I gave it 2% increase, a couple things I want to point out contracted services. So that is decreasing about 75,000 to pieces big pieces for that less pseo costs because it's going
into a, you can speak to this Joel. It's a different formula or you're using a different using provider at half? Yeah. Okay. So we decrease those expenses. What
we believe to be the decrease. There are the savings and then we are eliminating the mid-state Health Communications access services and this is about 20,000 a year. So we took
that out. Property and liability insurance. We don't have the official quote, but he told me to expect a 10%
increase. So I did budget for that. Pupil Transportation, We took away buying a new bus for next year so we did talk to Joe about that and so that would get
delayed a year. So that's savings of about 140,000 year over year. Our tech equipment line, decreasing about 20,000. So, a
couple things here that line in general includes. new chromebooks for fit in ninth grade. Thank you board. So five of those for the Gen Ed and then
those networks, which is that we talked About. So, we took away about 29,000 kindergarten IP, AD. So there's some savings
there. and then overall, your state special 11 access increasing later on 76,000 which is majority of that salary benefit
contact increases. so overall your general fund expenses compared to priority revise which is currently revise is
about 159,000 increase. Bottom line, projected general fund revenues less expenses. Pretty much break even hundred minus 139 dollars is
what it's showing right now. So we did that much closer to three even fund balance percentage of that 21%. For their questions in general, funded. All before I move on. To the other class, don't
correct. So the next one, these didn't have a huge changes. We really focused on the general fund. The needs kind of are kind of what they are fun to, it's the
food. So you get reimbursed of course if the kids take the meal you get reimbursed for it. If you order it and they don't take it. you don't get
reimbursed. So overall we're expecting a small deficit in that fun about 16,000. Again, this one does have a fund balance of seven thousand dollars and just as a note, you guys are close to this that mde.
If you're fun, balance, gets large and fun too. To the point where it's six months of expenditures, they do start to require you to spend it down.
You are not close to that. I just do want to know that they kind of keep an eye on that they don't want to come down to get
too high and fun too because it is very specific. fun for So this did get a adjusted a little bit from when you saw the last one, so we're budgeting a
slight benefit here about 17,000, overall revenue is going up. so there is a plan for some increase in tuition. with
different programs and then also just I think Jennifer's plan is to watch the programs in our offer. And so with example class maybe it's not offered, you know, make
sure it's economical for the district and then extensive, there's a little bit of cut in the salary do benefits. And then we did similar to the
genetic and a few boards. So there are five that are for the preschool. So, that's So that's the increase there compared to this year. And then your fun7, which is
your debt service. So this is pretty set, you know? So you're going to get what you're gonna get and then the principal and interest payments that aren't we paid off. So overall, we're
budgeting all funds of deficit of 43,000 on balance percentage of 22%. Like I said, every fun that is running a deficit. Does have a
very specific amounts for them fun in general fund is very Question. all right, somebody want to
Almost. Control. Thank you. Any discussion. On paper, say hi.
Opposed Here, approval of the Iowa resolution. Just want to have. This is one way.
but that one, to sign in there afterwards, that's for sure. All right, there's somebody want to We would all love that. Thank you.
All right, Director Atkins. so this is the Identity and Access Management Board resolution, it says, the superintendent will
act as the Identified official with authority for education identity and access management. Is what that is.
Really, somebody want a second but Director anyways, thank you. all right, any discussion All
favor. Say, I I post. All right, so that's solution. Oh, it's a resolution. Sorry, John Paul. Starting job. Right after Andrews. I director
boys. I director Home. I Thank you. All right. All right. Let's find that with all the
rest of them. Next is the midstate agreement approval. So, We cast Lisa. to renew the agreement and starting about two and a half
years ago with Midstate, and the superintendents have have helped they have Little Touch points here and there about once a quarter. And then this year it's been like once a month since it
started. So, This is really cool. So this is the third agreement that we we have with them. It changes the way that
we're built to be how we're actually doing it right now and it's actually working. it codifies. Exactly what the superintendents can do with Lisa, what the board should be doing and who gets to approve
what? So basically the school districts have the money So they can tell Lisa like Hey we we can't do that or this extra person or things like that. So
So the and the superintendents have done, a really great job, going back and forth with that. This also takes us out of the technology realm, so we ask for that,
two years ago. So, it takes basically a year and a half to get out of it for the old agreement, it was you had to do it by January and then you have until the next change. The end of the next school year, and
that's one year. Oh, so So David brought that up and found that almost three years ago we're all as of the end of this year. So Anything else
bad? no, I just, I think it's, you know, I came in the middle of all this but it's what I found is it's the communications in a good place I
think between lisa, the superintendents and Lisa and the board members and between the all three of us, I think it's Any good if there was going to
be another school district? Little confused identity. Don't so what we did this year they wanted to join until they did.
So his little falls used to be part of it and then they left, there's still a lot of hurt feelings about that. I don't know, but don't so what we did was after all the member schools had access and had all of their people and
figured out what we needed and all that stuff, what we had left for space For the teachers that we had, is what we offered with
the price. So they are in a member district so they don't get it for the same thing. Maybe it costs twenty thousand dollars for the student rather
than 12,000 because they're they're coming in extra so that's taking some of the burden off of using the same resources that we have for personnel, but not making us go.
You know, basically is where we're sitting now. It's all they. Come back to something else, but they haven't been
about a year now. So, All right, does somebody want to move the mid-state agreement? Director home. Thank you. Thank
you. Is there any discussion? All in favor. Say hi opposed All right, motion carries.

staff function and there's a student function. so, Yeah, that one. Our next meeting is in July. I believe, June June
