Now really looking at setting goals for next year but starting them now and give a super temple park, a little head start on on that since we
didn't do too much for this year. And then I had a couple parents bring up one options and breakfast options to me. So I handed those over to our student council
representatives. And so, they're gonna coordinate the plane with the feedback that they get and then talked before about it and see what they can
deal with some of the options that they came up. So, Just wanted to throw that out there, so it's a really good use of The students to actually and
really all that through. That's all I ever comments anything from you, Ellie. With that, I will entertain motion for the approval of the
agenda. so, That your own. Thank you very Andrews. Thank you. Any discussion. Alsoever
say I I proposed. Emotional period. Appreciation, recognition presentation. That's part of me.
She hasn't home members awards of hard on activities director. I'm running to present our Excel nominees and our triple, A nominees for this year. So
starting with our Excel on these, these are somebody in the junior class, that is part of Athletics Arts, but if they do a lot of leadership or volunteer time, so what's a
little different from the Triple? A is that really focuses on leadership and just in community involvement, there is actually another part of
an academic requirement as well, spent a certain UK. So our male selection was No parole in our female is great. And then our triple A award. This is meant for seniors that
are involved in academics arts and athletics. We had two really good candidates on. They actually did a paint what we're having to give a speech and welcome to the
a really good job, but our male nomination with Jazz Chaz Pacific and our female is It's only picture time you want pictures. You want to wait till after? Don't forget to stop.

and before I Travel, all the things. You're not. Middle School dance. It was Friday. I wasn't there. I was at a lot of state tournament but I heard it was a
great turnout, not as good as well. But so decent. And then next week, we start survival week so we have short orders which close today for each
grade has their own specific color. We'll have dress up days every single week and then students will be able to participate in Truvia and other
events to get them excited for the actual survivor of event Friday afternoon. similar to homecoming, except students will be competing individually in their own locations and they will be
coming together for a teacher versus basketball at some points. And then the other thing we have Will Survivor is
the senior candidates the teachers wrote upon five seniors, five boys of five girls. And then those five all those 10 all compete against
each other and whoever Whoever wins the most challenges gets crowned, just the Survivor King and Queen. So it's just another traditional with you.
It. Very, thank you very much. A superintendent report. okay, just a reminder, March 30th is the, our next strategic plan meeting the Characterium
6pm. I have a long list of legislative highlights. And I just run through with you, but
a big topic is health insurance and there's a Push for statewide educator health insurance. um, it's not gonna happen next
year, but potentially the next years if it goes that route, lots and lots of questions like that. the forecasted budget is looking a lot better than they thought
in November but on the flip side, they also sit the statewide budget. But they're also saying that. By 29, most of that is, we spend
forecast of the respect. So, The short-term looks good. You guys are not so good. House Committee updates. Some of them
kind of Are repeated between the House and the Senate. A lot of talk about federal immigration action and schools hearing on the impact of
schools of federal immigration enforcement actions. in immigration access to schools, the school property. Um, there's an overview on
student attendance of 15-day drop. That's being. Pushed and worse over the Metro with immigration issues in the schools and things. So other
looking at potentially, it actually, this spring looking at Traffic, never requirement for a lot of the schools, potentially even in the next year. What builds to increase funding
for city schools and particular for charter schools, public schools and cooperatives. Governor has a violence prevention package. They can lay

And all this has to be better on the spring into the, the race at the end of May. something that in fact, what yet that were A mapping system in the school. So there was a free state,
funded school mapping project and they contacted Tony and myself. Last, I'm gonna say maybe December And they're coming, There's a group of them coming on March
25th to do a site Visit Milwaukee for about three, four hours. And they've already had copies of our digital print maps, and their If you come up, some

it's any good um, hr resignation just Bridget and Creative Planning. what their potential offerings could be, and we're working through
some details for the short term. otherwise, it were working through Mandy and Linda right now until you get a plan
in place. Beyond that. And then, Ending what the operator will begin support in the office. We would either advertise or not advertised.
April, we start negotiations with directors and principals. just want to say congratulations to the winter sports teams and activities and programs find
season. And To look for a spring activities. Already started. I'm outside running in
the grass today one. All right, any questions for women? I have one. the hearings today.
We're about having CPR and ad training for all high school coaches. Okay. That's in the
past. There's not going to be funded. Yeah. That's enough years. Somebody who, and
A good. Yeah, yeah. Just Right. There's work. I, I the updated appointment time
point in time that we will continue to look at With that, the stadiums on the proposed revised budget are at 893. The latest enrollment report, which again is a little bit different than 80 and with
that 903, I believe it. So there are always a little bit of adjustments between those two, depending on students and see
pseo. easy, etc. So that's tends to be the difference there. Our proposed revised budget is reflected. On this
report shows a deficit of all funds 132,000. This does get us to improjective about 3.9 million. so at the end of January, 58% of this leader was complete, the
revenues and expenses compared to that opposed revised budget. We're pretty much in mind that bad but 80% for revenues 61 Expenses. Cash balance was
sitting at 2.2 million that's all of your accounts. That was at the end of January the prior years ago. So this is just something we monitor. This is what the state still owes based on the
audience, ending on purpose. So we're that shows up They will. Your federal agencies equal. So this is the current year federal grants. So, as we spend, we can
submit for reimbursement. Those are full of universal, but we just put this as basically a receivable in the interrupt,
that's sitting at not 15,000. Accountable. So this is any invoices that we have. It, we're not paid by the end of January, but we knew about then you work so that's about my
2000. Salary button table. So I talked about this before we essentially just approve. what we paid the teachers over the summer and for Naturals is
shown and it's not a large extent at the end of this year. And I mentioned that we do have that proposal revival budget on the financials and we'll probably still be adjusted a
little bit and then food service revenue. So that is Always about a month behind just because you submit for reimbursement actual month is
complete. So I just wanted to know that that revenue on this report is reflected to December and January. January books were
deposited in February 78. ,000. They have to the next page. This is basically the dashboard that shows you you the numbers. More graphical format to the top
launches budgets the proposed revised. So essentially it's showing how where we're at this year. Next one is just a breakdown on revenues and senses
within the different areas of different buckets. Fund balance history. So this just looks back over five years, historical data in the bottom
lines up financial trends. So essentially where we're at through the year that diagonal line with any expenses each month compared to that day on. enrollment summary so far this
year and then enrollment over the last Five again, historical back there, balance sheet. A lot of
this we have talked about just trying to see Pull out this. the negative on that liabilities. Negative 9,000. That is just a timing. So it always looks funny to see a
negative liability but essentially it's when pay your health insurance bills on this case, most likely the January at the end of January, we think February, we haven't done that.
I just This is a roll-up of all your funds and so you're up to the improved original budget, we proposed revise and then here to
be activity, Right. General, congratulations. So you can see the top portion of the state aids until all the revenue. We have vertical aids are flowing through your ideas payments
down. So as a reminder, and he does pay Twice a month and so that's how this revenue comes through. And then we just estimate that
approximate 10%. Hold back that they hold back. We can pay back primarily fall. Federal we had
already talked about that. It's your title and your federal special Ed and there's some Perkins there. One thing we did notice and Perkins revenue from last year,
came in this video which is not common but there wasn't it wasn't focus a receivable and so it is actually revenue this year. So that's where you see prior to your adjustments and so
you can see that it's gonna be budget of course. So it's money to do our own and just Essentially didn't get last
year, so you Local revenues. So this is your big areas here are athletic. Scholarship is a little bit in there and then your functioning activity revenues as well. You did
additives and be right there. You've received this in the past, but it's gonna be a little bit higher this year. And then next year, just with some projects, so you get a
reimbursement for the in this year is the a little bit of camera. The camera security. person. And then you
get a little bit of here. Those screeners well. One more expenses. So Hope you're all
analysis is done and then just basically he died with the different line items so you can see was adjusted. So the bigger ones you people transportation people that are percent because
that is a purchase, we don't think send anything else in there on the technology equipment that is partially offset with that cyber security. Granted into NDE most expenses
are the camera system upgrades. and since you will see, you still see zero and year to date, but those adjustments were done that program has been in process all year just some coding
adjustment and those were not being and the February. So you'll see a little see that
line up. The next one's report. For that. This is just a summary of your fun one, essentially a whole lot of your
fund one, there on two, on the mouse, part of the screen. This is like I've mentioned the basically any remedy to get for the food.
Federal and see and then any local lunches. So that's just there revenues there. Fun for this is your preschool.
Or after care. Adult don't use education, you get stating Levy and then open the largest creatures to tuition coming up. on the debt service on, I did want to fight this out so you
will see the expenses. Are fully have been fully set so you so essentially, that is a large expense it in January, but you didn't, for what, if you usually say, a parent to where you're
at here today? Well, that's of course. The larger amount so that can trend your total expenses, a little bit higher
for the year at this point in Time. That's it for. All right. Thank you. Uh, principle report. Sure.
Andrew's board just one. Sometimes the principal. Um, we recently completed student live conferences here at the high school. by grade 6, through 11 are
participation rate for students with 73.9% for student caucus On the screen that we're usually be between 25 and at the very upper and 40% on an arena style conference
But we're at 73.9% for student conference, which is a really good number of all over years. We're completing registration at this time. We are Starting with
our juniors with registration. Proper classes for next year. and so we are beginning that process, and that will take the better part of the next few
months go through that. um, last week we did have Morrison County Canine Unit, come through the building and do a drug
suite with Dog. thankfully, there was it was very interesting to see, the dogs are trained a little bit different now, which makes it a little more difficult for
us as With the state improving. Marijuana. The dogs are no longer trained for that. And so they don't, they're
really not just hard stuff pretty hard stuff. Um, but still good to have them go through and check on it. It's amazing if you have never seen
it, it is amazing to watch. How to train these animals are and We had a number of years ago where the Drug-dog went through and get out soon Somebody working Domino's and
hit on their test money and it also hit on their Boyfriends jacket. Also held the tip money, but did not have to be in. And here I go. And when I need to get, there is
no doubt that dog wants to tear the door off the water. and so, we thankfully went through, did the locker banks and did not have any hits on that. So it can't last minute with the availability through Morrison
County to come in and do it. And so we, we were able to do within 125 Minute window from search finish. I We currently have two
positions open science position for next year, full-time teaching position. We currently have three applicants for that, which is encouraging
considering, it is only been open less than a week. We are looking to. Hopefully have that taken care
of by. The middle of months. Are at the end of the month, April 1st. Open para position. We have one, it's a difficult time of year to
find paraprofessional positions. You just don't have a lot of people that are gonna Switch jobs right now, for two months to come into a position and then go off. So it is a
line shot, we will keep it posted, you never know. Do you know anybody out there that is?
Looking to. Make a career change or Looking for a job like that. Please share our
open position with them. And the last thing I have is tomorrow night is our choir concert 6pm in the California. We are going to see if we, We are right at the very upper
limit of being able to host the choir concerts at one time in that room, We might be looking at doing a split concert in the
Cafeter and like we do with the band where one goes at six next year goes it is 45. It's a really nice setting requirements
for those of you that much require of the fastest gym was hard to hear the students that echo and acoustics in the gym is awful.
Of hosting in your closer up to the kids and singing on stage. And so our goal is to try to keep it in there at all costs. If you can, we just gotta find a way to Logistically put it
together so we'll give it another test run tomorrow night before we make a determination for the future concerts. Any questions for me?
Right. Thanks girl. Chairs have been home members of boards over central part of my elementary report portion of that first and I'll do my just literally after that. It's been a busy month of
anyway and shipping to be a busy and Michael March. I love the read month, there's always fun with all the dress up days and all the fun activities that
that's what you're doing. and that wrapped up and then we rolled right into Dr. Seuss week, last week and again, a lot of dress up stuff a lot of participation, a lot of online
energy. And so that was awesome. We had conference last week as well on Tuesday and Thursday with 95% of families participated conferences, which
is which is great. historically. It looked almost last time we had something that I was eight years ago what we have 96% so that was 18 19
school year so it was pretty, that's cool. Chronologically thinking tomorrow tomorrow's a big day for our fifth graders. and fourth graders, they're going on field trips. Fifth graders are
doing their annualized, fishing trip off of fish trap league. Jerry get her sculpted out yesterday, and I was looking like, it's a good to go.
situation. So it's really excited. to do that. They got their hats today which is pretty cool. So they're excited. and then first People and
Children museum in St. Cloud. That's a hot. That's a hot ticket on these days. So they're sending all that as well. And then what do we have coming before Easter break? You know, next Monday, we have our school
students program, providing weekend reviews, dental care or children and families. That want it a couple of taking advantage
of it which is cool. On the 25th of March, we have vision, screening responsible results and alliance or screening, okay. One three, five, seven and 10. Starting at the elementary in the morning and then transitioning the
afternoon. So part of that in that device coming over screening the kids it's a great opportunity to just get up, just kids early.
The end of the quarters coming up and if quarter three that's 27th, so we're already thinking about what's coming around the bend here as opposed of the school
year. So we'll have our end. Of course, celebration on that Friday. The 27th. And then the following Thursday before we break for Easter break is our
program. where we're getting close brewery pre-caged or five for entry King. So that'll be a fun day as well. Any questions on the elementary school site of things?
Okay. Now District. Living time. I was tapped with this position. beings as literacy as an essential component of the
elementary realm and as it is for the secondary as well. so this position encompasses a lot of Crossover between buildings
again. To listen, there's a lot of those redact it really heavily applied to our teachers, want your letters in applied to to training and prepare
professionals and then also kind of looking at what requirements, do we have for testing. So I want to kind of run you through what going on.
Some of its old stuff and there's one new components. We've now learning that the MC happens. Every spring and happens. and reading math. And
then at science, as they get into fifth grade. This is a 30,000 foot view. We get results in maybe August my first year. We got them in August. They were borrowed for a
week and then we got them. Got them off the families mid September this year. We didn't get results in some mid September, then we had to print
those and then those out so families to get them tell later. So what can we do with MCA results as a kid specific thing? There's really not much we can do in the
moments eggs. It's an institutional evaluation How we're doing and then we kind of try to play some ketchup on what strands are we missing?
Historically, is it a group that missed? It is a continual thing. Okay. So that's That that's the MCA. You're gonna see. Should those reports
come home in the past? It's been exceeds meets personally meets. It does not means what the mc4 science last year, though. That language changed
now. Let's advance meets intermediates So, to change the language, we'll do the MCA form reading the spring. That
language will typically fall that all of that as well. So that's that's coming up. And then it wasn't that that Minnesota Reschool report card that's on MD's website and you
could take a look at that. We could build reports out to you guys already those results as a cohort of kids. Next one,
please. Fast Bridge. We've been doing fashion for quite some time. The reports are longitudinal. We get to see those and how the kids and
progress from year to year. We do see that summer get a little bit and we always want kids to grow. We've been doing three taking this this test
three times a year for K5 for quite some time. We take it three times a year within the first six weeks. The posts, the Post Christmas six weeks. So
January through, mid mid, February and then the last six weeks of schools, how we've always been giving it with the read act, the State mandated.
You take the fast-price test three times a year in these timelines. You only required to do it k3 for fast reach. We'll lead into what we're what we're
doing. What we're supposed to do for four through twelve next, but we've expanded that in our district, where all of our kids are taking the fastroach test,
assessing where they're at, where they grow, where's their growth, what are they missing? And then that kind of guide us into what interventions do you
need for the elementary specifically? We use our war grouping and our title programming access programming. It's a group kids that are like
abilities and grade levels. and get them. Those interventions that they need, they can give us great data. It's immediate. We share this information with
families. The fall testing window at our And our fault conferences. The winter testing linole, they were just shared at conferences now and then the
last six weeks of school, we take that Asperger's Those results are shared home with families. At the end of the year, showing where their kids are progressing. Um, When we
have these different testing points as well, the school year, it can help us influence our groupings. Some kids grow really quickly and then they exit out
of our title programming out of our AdSense programming and they can provide those interventions within a classroom because they
got some kids need more help. They could be pulled into title one, they could hold it to access. but we're always making those minor adjustments, as, as
kids grow to get them. what they need within this basket program. We can progress monitor so we can do weekly assessments and see where they're at, where
they're going on a week. We basis. But again, we're doing that K-12. In meeting and math. Next, please.
now comes the next component of the read acts that was introduced this year, so all schools in Minnesota are doing this for the first time this
year, which is the captivity basics test. Students in four through 12 have to take with captivity basics if they are identified. Okay, so
for Fast Ridge. We were getting the FASTPITCH tested kids. Hey, Hey, 12. Which can be a marker to. Our kids. It's efficient what do
they need? That then flows into for four through 12 into this captivity basics test. What it does is it gives us a deeper dive into the specific opponents that a student might be missing
and where that intervention could be placed. It could be a tier one intervention, could be placed in the classroom. Could be a tier two or it's a small
group. Hola it could be tier three. It could be special education. If that's necessary. This captivity basics test took 25 to 30 minutes we're in the
midst of it right now. And you know, that's some fantasy of some questions. Does my child need to take this as we basics test because I already
know that they need this, right? And my answer is, It maybe. but, If they don't take the
test, it's assume that they need it. So we have to, we to provide where they where they missing, what can we give them to get them to great love
Because that's, that's the main component of the read act is all kids at grade level by the time they graduate and that's what we
want to do. So, this Cabin basics test can give us. immediate results. I've seen the results we have to get together with Captain to help us interpret for the first time. what those results mean and how
that's going to guide us in our groupings. The thing with Capti is is you can't progress monitor within it. It's it's a six to eight week temperature
check, that's where it's at. And and that's kind of where we need vast bridges as well because you can progress monitor within that. you can put in those results. See the growth
We could take the taxi again. We haven't gotten that far as the far as, how often we want to honor our offer it. But this is this was our first
go-round. Again, this is about the faster it's test and the capit test are about the individual students. It's not about the schools. Yeah, we want to see where our kids are and
how they're growing and are they at grade level? But these are individual student results. Okay, there's your individual results. Now, how does this
stuff reported out? So I want to kind of show that as well. Reporting as well. Part of reporting goes families, get individual results for the MCA.
Those are male and home faster to get talked about conferences. And then the Catholic results, we're getting to that once we were able to decipher out. what
these results mean. And how is that going to inform our student interventions? um at my interviewer report, the literacy time that we've got posted
online I just have to do a broad overview of how many kids we've tested, what the results are? How many of you screens, what? What curriculum we're using, what interventions
are we using as a whole? And that wasn't that report? It spit. So their report posted on our website and that's that's
where that goes. um, You know we again the first time going through this captive process. we handed in hot as a group about How do we notify
families about this? How much information do we do? We give people because I can type out a two-page report single space
and it's going it's gonna be It doesn't apply to me. I'm not gonna read it or I got halfway through it. I don't know what's going on. It's too much. So we decided to do was to give
families. The intent was, I know we had a misstep and send it to all fourth and sixth grade families, instead of just the targeted ones initially.
just a overview of what it is and come email me, call me if you need questions and I can talk through what we're doing, why we're doing it. That's the reason for us. But
yeah, that Catholic test is a Personal one is. Working through it. So The questions, testing your new
stuff. oh, yeah. So with ncaa's fastest and one's gaze. There's super preparation for those. Yeah, I don't know if there's corporations. what would you
say percentage of time? per month or personal school year, we're spending on testing, We break apart the Mchs. In a small chunks, we probably know that the attack the
attention span of an elementary kid, taking a test in front of the computers pretty short. So we do like half hours, I take this jumping time and we're done for The day and then we'll take
the next stop the next day. And we're done today. just to kind of keep that. That bridge depends on the level, the older
you get, the more independent you can be, you could become when you're talking about teachers testing, kindergarteners, they have to do with individually because they're looking at letter
sounds. They're looking at how many letters they recognize uppercase lowercase so that takes more time to do but you're just doing it with an individual students and it can
take between 30 seconds in At her kid. but on anytime to do those, all those individual tests, but typically, it's done
in one sitting for fast growth just because they can, they can get through it pretty easily, kids, kind of it's old hacked with them because they get
through it, the captain test what we did, and it was suggested from like other schools like villager, they did. and we educated the kids on what we're going to see because we
don't want them to fly to with you, just click through. It doesn't help kid. Um, figure out what you mean because this is about again, well now. So what? What me and
the staff that helps gonna help interpret the results and talk to the test, we took them into the media center. And we showed them a couple minute video about the test is the ranchers and
trust test questions with them when scenarios Um, just so that they're comfortable with understanding the structure of
the test not so much, you're fiddling with the difference. color schemes that you could do. Because, you know, some kids that are dyslexic like the different fonts or the
different, the different visuals. Choose one that you like and go. You don't want to waste time on this because now
you're losing time. So we, you know, we said that kids were able to ask questions, What do
you need? You know, What's this all about? Everybody. Try. so to answer your question about
how, how much you can't be test this year, we only did for the six subtests which took about 25 to 30 minutes.
Next year, Mde told us is telling us we have to do all six subjects, which is going to take about 60 to 75 minutes per kid. We can chunk it out and we
can do it in two different days and several maybe not even continuous days, we do it on a Tuesday and then we can do it again on Thursday or Friday or the next week so that
they're not just sitting at a screen for for half an hour. One day, half an hour, the next day quiet. Looking at it, looking at this trying to get tired
mentally, you're drained by the time that you do that. but again, the Kathy just four to twelve, you know, you're probably
looking at 25 to 30 minutes for those the faster three times a year. You're probably looking at another 25 to 30 minutes per
quarter time of that. Then the MCA is It's what you say, draw.
A couple hours if you're, Older kids. They only take one. Take it all of them. but reading and math for our middle, schoolers
and difficult pictures. Yeah. Okay, so you are very close. On tests. Help the kids that are behind, Are you using this data to help
kids who are exceeding? Look at the faster data. Because that's our ultimate goals. We want kids to continue to grow so you take
a look at the data and it shows that maybe a student is you know the color scheme that that we use is blue. Blue is on on college pathway. So you're there above grade level essentially for the grade
level. Now we want them to stay in blue and then that indicates also growth Is there numbers growing. Did they stay stagnant? Did they decline? They
may decline but still be in the college pathway, doesn't mean that they're not on grade level. It may just mean that they need
more. Additional activities not or something that's going to challenge them. But it really you take a look at the color scheming in the kids are behind
you want them to grow in the blue rate, the aggressive growth because you want them to get to grade level, want to get them to them that benchmark and the same
kids that are at some rest. You want them to be. aggressive growth or typical roles that they can close that. Yeah, and get there's get their benchmark score to grade level so that we
can continue to push higher level academics as they go through. Did you replace your bishop's position? We're trying
posted. We don't have anybody else. Apply for it. Do you guys switch classrooms? Have my old school. Beginning in third grade, they already had us
switching classrooms of maybe this was meeting exceeding behind They didn't exclusively label it as those categories but
like you For listed position. Basically, our version of Sharia Bishop would come to this classroom in this question, only? I really
liked the way that was done by each district. That's their own Words to them. Yeah, depends on what what what's best practice and and that's, you know, it's
probably been research before I haven't taken a deep look into that, but I've been disability grouping help kids, or does it hurt your ability to grow? We
want kids. That are behind to still be exposed to grade level content. That's a pretty big thing where you know, if you're behind and you're in the lowest group.
Okay. You're working at this level, but grade levels here if they're not exposed to grade level content because they're constantly working here, they're never going to grow. So, there
is something to be said about kids being with. Peers that are above or below them so they can kind of work through and troubleshoot, you know, together, but I haven't
done in the research of ability grouping. I, I remember that as an elementary kid too, there was an upper math and there's regular. There's awful angers
and there's a regular But I'm not sure when the last time that we did ability grouping here because I just feel that At Royalton has been
a disadvantage to me to be. On a higher end. And then to have To be constantly. Children like never minded but it's just
something to keep in mind. We and we did that Gge position is still posted so we do during roar time so that wind time is kids that are are meeting the most academic, help
with Go with Kerry rolling in title. And then other, we have other groups that would be with paraprofessionals in doing
extend, you know, activities could be extension activities, and the teachers are taking the next lowest group that are still within the classroom. So each people have the group and then the Group went with Mr. Shut
Up. A couple times a week before those extension activities, the you know, when I was in there once and they're
doing Binary. And so, they were working on the coding aspect of programming. So you know, just doing those types of things we had that. But again, it's posted. but it's been, it's
been tricky to feel Any other question? All right, thanks. Alright, next, we have the incense agenda for approval. So
any board number can pull item offers and sense of gender. If you wish on the consensus night, we have approval of the regular board meeting minutes. Thank you Council financials.
Approval of personnel changes. approval of final policy readings and then those
policies are two people only As that is there anything anybody would like to pull? All right. Does somebody want to move the incentive? Of business after one. Thank you
Alsoever. Thank you any discussion. There's a one question. To the vans, it's a criteria around.
What specific events are available for purchasing it to be friends. The answers for
that. Just recommendation between. There are more. Any other discussions? All in
favor, say I, I proposed. Abstain. Ah, calendar. The review of some of the highlights. I mentioned last time. Calendar options were
discussed admitted through administration in school staff at each site. Starting it would be in this proposals before Labor Day.
Which is. Legislatures allowing that for the next two years. Normally offer, professional
development. As we have in the, Well, this year. To staff as
well. Plc's on Detroit weeks on Wednesdays. So, we would still have those. Yeah, so we have worked out the
week. Our first week of school for students is, would be the week before Labor Day, maybe Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
and And Labor Day. And be done by the market. The advancer feedback or questions? alright, somebody will Address.
Thank you. Thank you. Any other discussion? All they say. All right.
so, this again, we reviewed this at the finance community meeting a couple weeks, going it was on also on those financials. We just talked about
I have two reports in in their business. The detail of all the calculations. And one is priestly summarizing any changes between the original budget that
was adopted last spring by the board and then essentially, the end of February. When we I've met with all the budget managers, etc, on and compiled
changes for the revised budget. So In general, Vpn's big piece here. Edms didn't decrease compared to that original
budget. So, We have right now at 93. large reports, we're giving And the way students accounts are falling. So that would decrease to your aliens of
course, driving revenue. So that increases your revenue decrease. So that's a decrease of about 2006,000. on the federal revenues are about 7,000, and that's really
just a decrease based on allocations between title and Federal, special ed. And then we did at that Perkins revenue that we have mentioned with the financials. Local revenues, overall, those increased by about 110,000. So
the big piece is here which I also mentioned so that's eligible technologies and Internet networks which is etc, that increase Bible 14. Athletic program did receive a one-time donation of 60,000 and increase? That will revenue and then
you're student activities by 12. Just hear me trend. 25,000 increase. So Overall, we general fund revenue compared to original budget
increase by about 100. Completed. The savings decrease by defense and local revenues of public. We know that
Your general funds and expenses. So I highlighted quite a few lines just based on adjustments. I'll take out the
bigger ones, just Because again, because there's quite a bit of detail in here. So the Instructional, some of you guys wash out as well. So you'll see
it like communication services utilities decrease but then instructional software. and that's really just the analyzing here to date. And prior year equipment, increased
by healthcare 1,000. Just based under was a budget reflection furniture and that did not get purchase and push that into a different year, the technology equipment increase
about 33,000 party, that is offsets your security grand for MVD. That was camera security system upgrade School library expensive. So
both school library and the student support aid. are Revenues that the lecture was the first year from MD and their very specific but mostly we
said that and usually will budget revenue. to the revenue, and you want to Spend it, you don't spend it that year, you
need to reserve it. And so essentially I just need for the school library. I mashed it to the revenue that we were expected to receive and that's what MD is allocated.
Plus you have small reserve amount and I do believe in use and that. So that's there. And then student support, I just essentially made it to match the revenue that we're getting from
ND. D, What are the bigger pieces was access? And so this oddly enough redemption pretty close over all your general, funding
expenses increased by 167,000 people get online, the original budget and the ads is grant was an increase of 163,000. So there's a lot of these announced
between the other lines but that's a new grants that for those who don't know, if it's essentially like a grant that you get from any that it's
hoping to prevent kids from becoming specialist. And so it's the intervention and you get reimbursed 55% final state, but it's a year late. So you'll see
start to see that revenue next year and that's lumped into your special ed revenue. That's on to your basis. So I would apply every two years.
So that was one of the bigger expenditures of necessarily budget original. And of course, your revenue instantly The federal grants those. Just basically again and
probably just had adjustment increasing that to next revenue and those are probably reimbursed. So overall, your general fund increased expenses 7,000, and at this point, with the revised
proposed revise, the general minded, budgeting and deaths and of Food service fund. So this
You have a fun balance in here. And again, it's fun balance. It will be sent on food service. So if you do anything here, where your food service, which
is State and Revenue State Federal revenue for your meals, and at local, you know, the extra money that kids second meals, etc, and then expenses the food and then any employees
even Pain to work for lunchroom essentially. So, If it ends with the surplus of you and that depending with the deficit, you it goes against that. And so right now there is
a hundred thousand dollars in that unbalance right now. We're expecting a slightly deficit in that plant. That would be
Eligible. again, and I will say that most people I work with Don't have usually your food services. It's you know sometimes you net it out, but I don't it's not a money major.
You don't really want it to me because it's very you can only spend it on User. The fun floor. So this is again your community service fund we're just like surplus in there and a
similar that I And then your debt service one and this is basically it's budgeting. It's like a set of 30,000. That's where you're, you get some stating letting money
in and that's your debt service or you pay here that payments are there. So overall, when you compare the original to this proposed
revised, We are, projecting. And you can see I did. Put a general fund percent based on the general fund expenses that
below 20.8 and then you want to analyze total amount But I think usually you want to focus on general one percent. and this is,
Most likely they'll become over the next one that will go over with finance committee again just with bdms changing, etc. So this is a point in time right
now that we're being revised but Question. Oh, I have one. So the 893 that thing that my assumption is that is about the most conservative that we will go and including
increase and assuming bseo and how people register for classes are going to really all that increase. It goes with the
other. Exactly. Yeah, our hope is that? if you go to the very top page, maybe you can see that the 12th grade is really where
right now, we have it at 41 and I know, Joel talked about 57 are expected to graduate, so it doesn't seem like a large, are we losing 16 physio? hopefully, that'll get reconciled here in the next few months and then we'll
actually be a higher number. So yes, that is conservative. We were looking today last year's trend, it's kind of at the same place percentage boys with the
number of pseos students. The balance out of here. We don't know until late. Thank you. All right, and this we're not approving, right? We're just
woke up, right? Summer School, recommendation. I pulled a shared, a recommendation letter from the principles to you. That's
really the details in there, that all year up to the principles to kind of The
discussion, I guess. For the past few years. We had. Summers rule of the elementary and middle school that came from
the Azer dollars that came after Covid. And then we moved summer school because he had to have expense dollars before 30th with
Professor money, had to be expensive for them. And we put summer school in June. We?
Started seeing a decline in numbers and just the input we have. To get away from school and I don't necessarily disagree with that. But our numbers got
to a point where They're targeted services, just maintaining the ratios of teachers. We're putting some expenses. So if you're five kids on a bus or
you have 25 25 kids on a bus, you have a bus expense. On. and so we have been looking at
it and looking at Putting it in hibernation for now. It's kind of the recommendation we don't want to necessarily we want to
maintain our relationship with fresh water target services because there is a chance that We may find or come up with a different plan for this and be able to build
that relationship. Back up offers on your school, doesn't doesn't go back because we're not in using answer funds. Can we put the summer school in
July? We're to be and it's kind of a midsummer Every month off. They come in for a little refresher in July and then they have another one thought for
school starts. Those are the kinds of conversations that we can have going forward. We just did not think that this year with where we're at doing it and do it again. Was
a good thing. We will keep the high school credit recovery in place. On that saves us from having students. Go to ceci or
do other options during school year. But that is not. We don't we don't cover high school credit recovery through
target services. Here's what? Esy and specialized separate, also a separate. Scenario Esy has always been in place in both buildings for
many, many years. every year. All we did with it in the past is because we needed the transportation. We, we lined up Esy at the same time that summer
school was this summer. They're actually looking at moving Esy, reacted back to July, Wait for the end of this weird. Here. Yeah.
yeah. So yes. Why? Like that kids? That's something that we then are reimbursed for those summer school students who are special and more the summer
school. Kids that Won't have an option. I'm just kids, you know, Alexa your help but don't get all right. Because there's just the extra
help. The kids at Edsy are showing regression after breaks and that's that's what kind of it's been into Esy. but,
a special student included going to regular summer school. They're just not gonna be reimbursed for summer school. There are special and it's going to be just retirement services. I'm guessing if we brought this back in the future, we would
really sign this away from Esther and as a response to that. redevelop it, as our Program on its own merit without those ties to it. yes, I feel
like It gives you that little bit extra help. I don't qualify in most categories that I've missed all about help. And then
I get it for funding wise, but it seems like that always. a problem, you know, where you
know, I mean that, Total health. But that was three months in the summer can really sometimes yeah, if I was guessing, I would think that in the future people have some sort of redesign on
us. which is why we thought it was important not to terminate our relationships and all that because it's a Um, just at the middle school
level. It was we build that based on performance in school And so to turn around school ends May 29th and by June 4th, you go to have transportation
set up over the kids are going to be their communicated. We're starting to see some feedback. This is an easy for us. So we're
planning on vacation, but you don't know you're gonna be in summer school until the last week in May. That kind of deal
where we're gonna do this again and do it in the future. It is so much easier to communicate this when you have to give them
a chance to get away and it allows us time to set up Plan it out without being bound right to the end of the school year.
So we can get it done before you. Feel like there was a better turtle for kids. I think it was me way easier for families to plan because they do
at least a month and a half ahead of time. That they have summer school this year. We did. Look at the numbers. We didn't see a drop because at
first year was all about learning loss and there was a there was a significant amount of people that requested it and you would get them in the next year. It
dropped by 20, so we did see a drop You know, thinking about registrations last year, the kids that comment really good attendance. You know, we were,
we were sitting, you know, we had 24 registered and we were averaging in 22.5. and so, and then we look at
staffing levels, we have to, we have to buy fresh water 11 to 1 ratio So I had two wrongs and he won two room and three, four, five, and we were dancing to buy it
22. And we still Digits of numbers to make sure the middle school, too. Teaching a kindergartner and a second grader and you do. We a map? You know, that's a pretty
broad spectrum of abilities. It was hard to do, just two rolls of K12 and three, four, five to work, a lot better when it was
K1. 25. With abilities. and even on the middle school side of things, we invited probably 30 to 40 kids and We had a lot of on that, just like
that, like, it's Not too much school. So I mean we invited a lot of kids but we struggled to get people that actually want to send their kids to summer school. So that's the
other side of it is you it's not required. So even though we identified kids that we felt like would benefit from it, the parents can say, no, so there's that side of it
though. There's no, we can't force them to do something. So serving these numbers, stay the same. What do we do with the 22 kit that want to go to summer school? Want that help in need? That should help. Right
because we don't we thought there were 60, that needed it. 22 wanted to help. What are we up to 22? That want to help, there's something else? Some of the program that these parents come
here today that was really good last year and our operating Is there. Something else we can offer, maybe something here. Go there. I don't know. But It
sounds really, they're organism families. That you may want it. Maybe not if they don't offer it but if they do, come asking, Is there something the way we
can point on direction or not? Really because there's some kind of before we could do with holding forward a little boy or something for those that want to
do it. Because we still have to pay the boss and I'm assuming that it's still coming with the cost, right? I was you don't really want to think, I think we
Explore that conversation with brush water. Not knowing what our number. We're going to be like And they advise us that they had some schools in the past that had tried that.
and prepared with little Falls enrollment calls it. You got it. Come to us. So we don't Oops, kids. If you don't mean like, I'm not saying we would,
but you got it. I come on to us as a recruiting tour. So yes, what could we do for them? In state, I don't mid state like higher level special needs to.
They don't have any programs that they have a program and whoever's role in that will be going to the extended school
districts. was the ones are here a little bit, can't grow there for That little bit, it would be right, like, Midstate doesn't offer anything for
them, anything like that. But like we were no. Well is we still have our extended school here, right? So, it's Anyone that is not a special needs, I shouldn't say no,
especially these. But don't qualify for me, right? Of are the ones that we get it. Everybody that knows qualify for you. That's why we would whether it's here, I
feel like there's maybe some talk around, we're backing map a little bit to do a little bit more enrichment and some of that educational things. I don't know
where that's at. Exactly or don't throw that. but that was a potential that map would include more enrichment type activities that That could potentially utilize
that they wanted a little bit more structure. Is there anything you could do through you? We have it. Well, that would be like the map part, one situation, or it would be a
class, probably Right. Family. Yes. Those that discuss about, we should know that they are. And if they want to go, that's my own issue. If there's 22 that
wanted to go, right? And I was around. And did it help that? I would assume it there's more time in the classroom. The
teacher, you know, Are we still gonna track those? That we would have offered to I mean, middle school middle School's, easy to do this. Look at their grade so
they know external classes, the fall in spring, that would be basically ends up hating it for us. Elementary Chicago a little
bit different but if you, if you put into a referral form to see how many kids were referring or we would refer And track that against what we had last year to
this year. To, if we're gonna to try to offer next year to see does that number of correlate with. And we had 16. For this
for the summer 25. Yeah. 65 For the summer of 26. Now we've got 85 for the summer of 27. That we've done that. We
know that. Hey, we got a We got to do something. It's a summer school. Yearly academic? Or is
it some? is there, you know, I really expectations that there's, there's some other there's some but They do get over to play. you know, it should be more
hands-on, more, more involved, learning rather than to just be book learning, right? Sit down and learn. Typical day would come in the
breakfast. We offer breakfast. They come in and then they'd start their ela, and they won't take a break and they come back in and do math. And then we
get them to the lunchroom at about 11:25 for lunch and then they're on the bus on the road by about 11:55 that. That would
be a typical summer school day. Middle school and a mix of. Random core academics. a little
bit of a survey and before academics and then it had some Skills. You're being successful student. Some more cultural social I don't want to say cultural. I mean like that like
organization, making sure. Yeah, that's that kind of stuff. Especially you. What you should be using real lower for you? I
want to do that. Well, I understand here. Discovering a lot of that happens. We do have a research program as well with enough seats that if a
student did say hey, I'd like to I'm going to dig through algebra next year. I'd like to
do something over the summer. We can Assign them to a. classroom with some eighth, grade math concepts that illness really have to receive a grade
four but they could work through a class. Kind of give them, but I guess the thing is, is how good I know. I'm not gonna learn math, unless I have the teacher there
would be but there are opportunities that we can address some of those things that they want, they want something to do in the summer, we have we
do have some patterns that we the other is I asked question is I don't want Yeah, trying to have kids average daily attendance.
I don't want us not having summer school but they Tell us. The summers. I just just,
have some talks like if there's two, three service, if there's parents are community. My child a little bit behind it. There's obviously out there and
I know we're not doing that, okay? There are some two resources and this is how you get them. and you just have some resources for them and say
Here's what's available, you don't need to some parents that we could. Parents are both parents work at all time. They have no way of helping us to
grow the summer and east one little extra boost. We just have A resource ones. Peer reserves and whatever. Call, okay that some kind of
answer. Are you guys familiar with the program at University Minnesota? They have a summer. And now I'm had us all. Do you
say That is an option out there as long. so, those are all online and then you meet, On
the same things, you Want to put resources. Alright. Are somebody want to introduce the resolution and the way of
the The trouble. Thank you. All right, whereas no understood. So, we are.
Thankfully and gratefully accepting following relation. So the royals and alliance of, as a donation of 2500 dollars,
royals create Clinton Utah, it's for $5,000 towards the band program. And grilled employer or 3500
dollars sports. Does somebody want to second that one? I'll
say. Technically. All right. and then just go Director. Trump Director hacker by Dr. Andrews I Director, boy. Hi guys.
Structure in Austin. Okay. Sorry. But um so we're gonna hear the general's entire or 25000. I believe that thousand. Should you pull this fire? We did send a check for a thousand. you know, I think you're correct
because I remember, I have done sign off on it, So I didn't want to talk about. I'm pretty sure it should be bonus. Yeah, the Well, thank you. All right.
And that was also explore, so. Right. Next is All. Three years renewable policies. So not because I've changed but
just because the three years since we've looked around the one I want to call out is our second policy reading. So, the
school resource officer That one we went through. And talk through. A lot. It's a very
short policy. but I went back in this book and then my last book of what we talked about as a board of what we wanted, the school resource officer, the news and basically
laid out education as a Using meditation. So I want to put some specifics in there for what we don't talk about doctor layer. So the first one was educational
programs of Cyber awareness. Conflict resolution. Addiction education. Bullying prevention.
And then safe driving biking and pedestrian safety. More. So here's towards the elementary at that point. Safe driving up here. Like that's
been so not that I need feedback right now, but go back and look in your notes and see if there's anything else that I missed that was on there. A lot
of them talk about some of the same stuff, but it was kind of like under cyber awareness. How we do that at the elementary versus middle school and things
like that. And let us know. So down there, right? As we look at that policy, you know, in a couple weeks. There's anything
else you can think of that. That's like that. But we're leaving open-ended so it could be everything. So I could include their program and different things like that, but
we wanted to make sure that these are the ones that you will do. I'm sure. That's all I have. On that. Upcoming meetings schedule
finance on March 25th. and then also same thing and then you change it. Also, All the things
we can do, that's what? Alright, we'll Grimes will not March 25th. Pretty much
anything. But those 24 256 After that, I was flexible. look at Wednesday first that next week, perfect. Good.
Yeah. See the two long time. Yeah. well, it All right, so
we will go April first. To you. That's hard to say. and that our next board meeting is April 13th. Like I said before, I'll send out an email maybe tonight or tomorrow with,
the Superintendent Evaluation Guide are probably the last three Superintendent evaluations with the goals that we did. So everybody can look at those, we don't
that formats, that's what we have. So at least start thinking some ideas of That, and The last couple that we gave Wayne for years and priorities
to look at from that first evaluation solution, All right.
Anything. Else. Very good. Okay. I do want to make a, if you did not see on social media, our
middle school, robotics team actually won the State Robotics tournament on Friday. Are you there? I was there. So that is
pretty awesome. So then they were eight, they got a bit then to be able to go to the world robotics. Competition. So
that's awesome. And the high school group. So, high school, the club hufford, but the high school group ended up eight and stay tuned. So Awesome. And if
you have never experienced, Being an environment like that, it's pretty cool and We host like an IQ on typically and and the January February time. So which is your
community, addictive screen and lower even watching that sort of stuff, is really cool because it's a lot of supporting each other and things like that.
I've ever said, was a, Assistant coach. At one time? Yeah. By MC. The last couple of times they are doing. There's a
robotic standards. Alright. Um, all right, we're looking at a 725 of somebody would like to make a motion to here. so, All variously. All right.
Thank you.
