>> David Lemm: Consulting. ok, Google All right. the United States of America and to the Republic for which it
stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice from. Importance. I don't have any I just want to say thank you to
David in the whole team for the website, refresh like that. Looks great. It was a really good. A really good update. So,
Alright, and we will get an approval of agenda. so, Motion moved by Director Hofstad
second. By director Andrews. Any discussion. All those in
favor. Say, aye. All those posts. Abstained. Proportion, carries five to zero.
Appreciation, recognition and presentations. Councilman Home members of board to Repentable heart, healing arms and Activities Director. I
just have some of our winter recognization, for some of our sports, that did well. Unfortunately, we were able to get one here. The rest of them are actually at their spring sports. So first, I'd like to
recognize Jackson being a state individual Russian qualifier, Information, so we'll take picture but also for us, when
we had Jake lemmers, he was one individual state qualifier and place second in the state tournament. And then we, for basketball, we had three kids received all section honors for boys, basketball, that's dinner
for girls basketball. So, We have a pretty pretty good season for elementary sports. So On the spring in. It's more.
You know. Was working, right? Right now present for recognition of citizens input. So we'll move on to reports and news. We'll start at the student
school board. so, a couple weeks ago, actually, probably closer to Mom, but we wrapped up Survival Week, which is always been a huge hit in once again.
So, it was kind of more arrest month where we plan. First up in the future. We don't have any big events going on. So right now, we're focusing a lot of
energy. You need to show our teachers how much we appreciate them because of all that, but they put in, and then we're also
planning for mindfulness day next month. and then, at the end of April, we're going to start doing the moving forward with the student memorial contacted the
individually, working on our concrete. So basically one sets and we're gonna And we pretty fast from there and then we will be doing a fifth grade activity night. For the fifth graders.
So they'll come to the high school and they get to just two of the building and Find their classrooms and stuff, but we found it's been really helpful
for them. So that also will be happening. All right. Thank you. Superintendent Report.
Okay. So a couple quick highlights here SRO. I know there was an interview last week, and it sounds like it was pretty promising. Not sure where
it sits right now. But apac is the American Indian Parent, Organization group and we are meeting again this Friday night to look at some
goals and planning for next year. Just a little head of the game. I just want to make a plug for what we're doing here. That one of the
Bills out there in the legislature is to have non-voting. Required. And so just saying, Hey we're ahead of them but I don't go through but it's one of the bills. And speaking of
bills, I bet a number of things that touch on from the governor house and the Senate, just the things that are Stirring out there. The governor
is supplemental budget. He's looking to have an assessment tax course, to study the MCAS review. The current system examine other states and make recommended improvements.
There would be funding for that about 70,000. And 27 and 150,029. Are required. Team
for districts is called SSI RT. I can't remember what the acronym stands for, but it's another required team, that potentially schools would be hard to do. It's to create student
support intervention resource. Team focusing on mental health. Threat assessment and early interventions. There's a
concern out there that there's another mandate without any funding for it. I can see that
going through. Literacy. And I don't know if Anthony is hurting me this yet, but they're looking at shifting, the funding
formula. Right now, it's based on MCA scores and they're looking to shift it to poverty level. which would kind of be,
it would shift funds for districts, so potentially could be a change in what we get for those dollars. Special ed funding. I mentioned it once before, that there was a
talk of there's a task force out there that's looking to reduce Funds for 250 million. Now they're saying 300 million and if they don't come up with a
way to do that, The school districts to figure out how to handle that on our own. So that's potentially a, not a
good thing. In the house. This is kind of a big deal. I wasn't, I didn't hear this part until last couple weeks, but there's been talk about the
health insurance, the old statewide, they're all talking potentially. salaries for teachers in Paris, if anybody who's been reading about that. But they're talking
about having minimum salaries for Different stages of teachers. So, beginning teacher be at base salary of 60,000 A teacher with a masters would
be 80,000 minimum and a teacher with master's Plus. 10 years is a hundred thousand and then any support staff will be a minimum
of 20 25 dollars now So you can see the potential issues that a district might have. And it's indexed to inflation there. Doesn't it does include some new aid. I don't know what
the aid would be. Also on that included would be the health insurance. You've heard of PEEP that insurance that would go
away and they would have a new one called Egip. It creates a state-run insurance system.
Replaces. Local control over benefits. It's a mandatory participation by employees.
Required. So the school districts would have to pay. 95% of a single insurance and 85% of the family insurance. Then there's more, there was
some discussion. I heard last week that, let's say you have Let's say we're paying 50% of the health insurance for a group. we would still pay that
50% for the contract and then the state will pick up that extra 45%. so then there was Well. so then they're talking
what you negotiate at zero percent and then, the state picks up the rest. so anyway,
So, there's a lot of implications for District budgets on those kind of things and I don't, they don't think it'll happen next year, probably potentially be here
after Yeah, so a lot of a lot of these things are shifting away from what we control, the state control, That's all. I have those too
long, maybe. All right, any questions for Wayne? Until Business Manager, reporting. Co-chairs often and home members
of the boards written in the park. My name is Bridget Maroney. And this is Manager. We are looking at February by angels and this does include that
proposed revised budget that we're going to revisit in a little bit and we talked about the last month so that's what I'm going to kind of reference when I do for budget to actual
So we did go over this at the Finance meeting a few weeks ago. This dashboard pretty high level. We've gone over this in previous meetings it basically just shows historical data and
then some the bottom on there is your current year financial trend revenues and expenses compared to where we're at year to date February. The next one again, enrollment
just showing the reports I've received each month and compared to that budget and then you're enrollment history over the last five years.
Balance sheet. So high level, the passionate bank there. Three million won 152,000. We're still expecting a little bit more money based on what was
booked last year from the state. So your hold back from last year was both getting a little over a million. It looks like we still are should get 81,000. We'll see. They do true
that up or down until June 30 yet. So they are still making adjustments on that and then we start to We estimate. What you're getting? Hope with the
whole debt is currently for this year that will get paid out and that's it right now. I don't 1.5 million See, going down to
your liabilities. Couple things there that negative. The payroll is just the timing. I think I usually mention that each month
but it's essentially the district pays the health insurance one month in advance. It's deducted from employees pay checks and this instance it's been paid for March and it's
gonna get deducted in those paychecks of coffee here. And then we approve the teachers payroll over the summer. There's four paychecks over. How to the Next. So this is big
picture revenues and expenses all funds. You can see were at the end of February, 67% of the way, through the year revenues were sitting at about 65 and Expiate your debt service
payment that was made at the beginning of during January, kind of as tipping your total expenses, High General Fund overall, I think is just a
little bit under 27%. You have to the next page. this is general fund revenue so you can see the state revenue to the
tops and these are the ideas payment, you get paid the 15th and the 30th of Each month. They meet her, those payments out. So some of you get more at
one point later, some of it's more and hold back. So I would just focus on the total state revenues being at 67% there.
Federal revenues In the title, we can submit the reimbursement as we spend that the Fed spend is through the state and then a little bit of Perkins your local revenues. You can see. Those are
training a little bit higher. Would that be surprised if you go a little bit higher than with budgeted specifically? possibly
enough clinics or the fund, 12 for fun to eat as a reminder funding. And from 12th scholarship and student activity. Those do crosswalk to find one, they have their own
reserves, but they do are consider general on when it comes to and the easy cars. Metrics. General fund expenses. So the
biggest piece here, of course, the salaries and benefits, and then we do improve for that, as I mentioned the summer payroll. So that's it about 65%. I do
know that in March, there was a little bit of that retro for I think maybe the parents so that'll catch up. A little bit with your March
reports and you'll see that non-instructional supplies. It's trying to do a little low and I think that kind of starts to get cut off as we posted to
the year. And so hopefully there will be a little bit of savings there possibly And then, of course, other things are fully
spent the next done. So you scroll down. general fund expenses, so there, you can see that they are at that 65 64.5 percent. So a little bit lower compared, To
budget anyway. I have some here and expenses coming through. So, that's just rolling up your total general fund. You can see the big picture there. Fun too. So there is we are
projecting a little bit of a deficit here. This is always a month behind with revenue. So it's always gonna look a little wonky. It it's losing more
money and then it catches up the revenues catch up that your and You have the next fun for. So, this one also you can see the reason the revenues coming in. So you have your little bit of
loving speed aid and then the main piece here is the collection from the The tuition coming in and then expensive. So this one this year, which we talked about a
little bit more of a deficit but it's we'll get a little bit more, right size next year. and then, depth services is
truly just of course, a little bit of levy and CDs, you get. And then the expenses are the debt, the debt expenses, so the bonding it And this is just showing the
latest larger part that was connected to this specific February report. ecse is not on here which you will get easiest students. And so that just this is essentially your K through 12. students
that we're going to get paid for. And this does have a little bit of the pseo adjustments. So, But I do expect the EC line at the end of the year to be 12 to
15 from what we understand. So closer to 900 total Questions on the financials for February. the supplemental is going to
show you cash, receipts all the expenses in February, that went on the bank and then I need your money. I'm going to detail
there. Anything for Bridget. All right, principal report. Sheriff's office at home numbers. Kevin apart, Tony
Newman, Elementary principal is in a handful of things. Um, since our last board meeting, we have had our Growth Alliance community tour vision.
Screening, thank you. The big thank you to them for screening our k-1357 and 10 great students. It was quick, it was efficient to set down to
particular eyes. off. We went continue to referral check they just for the nurse slip and then either it's good to go or On. So that's a
great benefit for our kids to make sure their eyesight gets checked and if they get me for done, so thanks to that. Or
enter the third quarter happened on the 27th of March. We had a bell ring that day, and that was a wild day. Our PBS team put together a
great Bell, ring celebration. that had staff teachers and costume. Local costumes playing basketball. It was it was phenomenal. A lot of fun kids were all in hollering, they were
all amped up, they had, they had a with it so that was fun. Um, we had a rift program, our second of two, RIP programs for
books for ownership, that was on Thursday February. April 2nd And that went off really, really, well presentation in the morning and then kindergarten
came over and they were able to get their books over at the elementary school, hang on a little bit and then head back over. Upcoming here we did
start MCS today. We're running to those here to the end of the month and make up stuff that first week of May. So we're working through those.
Hype them up. I want to talk to third grade as it's the first time they had a ton of questions, good questions to ask and just making sure that they
feel comfortable and The showcasing, what their skills are, that's really what it's about. we will be getting our first ship in a books from
Library Grant that we received Through resource training and solutions. And so we'll see about 325 books come into our library summer. Replacing well
loved books that They're taped together and they're calling apart and we need to retire those but we have some new ones coming in and that's just a
About 75% of books that we ordered through this grant. Um, a fast purchase testing here. We'll start within the last six weeks of school. That'll give
us our good data on. How far our kids have grown to what the school year. And then coming up here at the end of the month, we
have our last teacher in service during the school year on Monday, the 27th. and for teachers going through letters, this is their last live session
that they will have to engage in. They are pumped when we have a quite a few that are done with their asynchronous stuff already, they've taken their
final taking their final post test, they are above that 80% marker and they're ready, ready? Three questions. Okay. All right. Onto athletic
Director. A director. Chairhoff said, and home memory board. I'm super excitable part. I will also do a little bit of a high school principal update for Principal Sponsee is gone. We will be starting MCAS on
Wednesday. We are trying something different this year, to maybe help a little bit with this testing. So Wednesday will actually have kids in our
building that are actually testing. So it's really release. In the past, they took it during their class. So if you had an eighth period English class,
I'm trying to do the MCAS at the end of the day. It wasn't always the best. So we're gonna try it this way for the reading and math and then science will
be in the classrooms. like, in previous and then there'll be the letter sent out to the board members for graduation being part of me.
Would you advance for the most high school? And then for activities report spring season. It's been a little bit of a
rocky start with rescheduling. I think there was at least two softball games and one baseball game that have been rescheduled. But today weather held off. So
we can get our games in. Tracks been going well. Baseball is planned our first game that you currently up, six, five cells one and one with their games. Golf hasn't had any meets yet,
but some of us because of waiting for the golf courses to get open somewhere, we're going pretty good. And we're looking this Have those successful successful spring
season. Right, anything for Katelyn. Alright, we've all move on to the consent consent, agenda of
purple. Oh Community. I'm sorry. Just About my notes yesterday. Members of the board
superintendent. My name is Jennifer Noble Community Education, during the opportunity to share community education, program
updates, especially this week as we celebrate the young child, which is to 17. So, we did hold our personal spring carnival in the south
gym. It was a tremendous success and we did appreciate the food sponsored by the Lions Club and Honor is to help support this event. We welcome over 55 registered families with over
150. Attendees of the children ages birth assistance. Family engagement event featured, it doesn't community partners as resources for families, so they were able to
visit the different foods of our community partners and then the children were able to participate in activities almost as you can see, one example
there, we had volunteers that helped out at the activity. Tables. We had some vendors intend such as Air Max to keep them busy and active. and have had tremendous feedback and hope to have that each year
in addition to our fall. Big trucks, with the status is Spring Family engagement and for us to grow already And we do have preschool graduation. Just the previous
slide just to recap one more time on. Preschool graduation is coming at May 20th and rule out the red carpet for everyone.
Where is graduates? And then enrollment is now open predictions. Preschool, along with upcoming screening dates. And we do have openings still in
early childhood screening. And looking ahead to or looking just kind of a recap of our adult sports and enrichment in the past, two seasons, we had 113, participants with 67 unique
users, so that's actually very good time for growth and adult enrichment. Our fitness center continues to just be a jump in
the community with 51 family. memberships, 76 individual six out of our district and then 21 Hall walking on participants. We saw few of them as we walk
here to the meetings, circling the hallways Good. You know of course throughout the winter months, very popular. And then this
Wednesday, we will have the next senior social and you can see a few participants from our community better from our last
senior social, they got to do a craft with our preschoolers, followed springbird house project. And so we were able to do a nice photo with them. We'll
be at the elementary school. Who's Wednesday and so into members of the community 55 And over on the work, we'll see the community center to help spread the word about
So, I'm going to recap on these sorts in Richmond past two Seasons 335 enrollment and some youth sports continues to be very popular category for us. Still filling
a few summer coaching positions, they can contact myself for more information. And then our spring summer classes are open online for registration and royal review should have reached all
of our households. I know, and then our map program or before, and after school program, on just continues to be a program that is really help
support students before and after school and provides a safe place for families to have their kids participate in activities Outside the school day, we continue to reach out to the community with partnerships. We
do have technology that is in place for secure check-in and check out for the students. We have implemented a parent
surveying each twice a year to each feedback on the types of activities. The families want to see, or changes to the schedule
that might be more convenient for them and gather field, trip and put that way as well. Our current enrollment is slightly down from the beginning of the school year, but we
certainly appreciate all of our staff and many of which are either current students or former students. So it really gives a tremendous way for students to have a part-time
job, and many of them have been through the On before. And so it's there their way of giving back. So our summer math. Registration is now open as well. We've added a new element and includes this came from survey feedback
transportation via our activities bus to youth management class here at the on the fields outside from now. So that is something that parents
have requested and we're now able to offer that energy sessions this summer. and in conclusion,
I told her You have a ton of questions. Thank you for the summer. Well, we And as we
should be at about just over 300. that I will be posting monitoring the new new users you need users just because we want those programs, your world and purchase of this.
So we just added a new youth dance program that under you know, just under 50 participants first time ever. So All right, now we will move on to the consent agenda approval. the board is consenting to approve items listed below as
presented at one time At any point of director can pull an item off the consent agenda for further discussion. Would
anyone like to move an item from consent agenda to the discussion part of the agenda. All right, can I get a motion to approve their consent? Agenda.
Below. Mostly by for trout also. Seconded by Director,
Boyd. Any discussion. All those in favor. Say, I I
opposed. Stained. Promotion past this fight to zero. All right, so we will approve the approval of regular board meeting minutes. claims
accounts and financial approval of senior trip, approval of robotics nationals trip. Approval of 2026 to 28
Principles Contract. Approval of community at pay scale, approval and personnel changes. Approval of finding policy reading. Nothing. All right, discussion,
information and action. I don't I just have a quick question. Yeah, it's actually the robotics world's trip. Just errored it out, or it could just be on the agenda that it
would be inaccurate of okay, I just wanted to check Thank you for catching that. Right.
So, a purple of the 2027 Spanish trip to Costa Rica. I found out on the way over here that I get to present this. So, Bear with me. 2027. They had a successful
trip last year to Spain. So again, it's just getting kids exposed to different cultures and things like that. It sounds
like we'll be about 13 days, approximately $3,000. Student would pay, they normally will do fundraising and stuff like that to help offset that costs. Today, one would just be traveling from
Minneapolis to San Jose, Costa Rica. Day two would be doing some aux carts and just not getting to know some of the history. Day three will be horseback
riding and hot springs. I'm just going for that Thank you. So looks like some white water rafting. And then just some nature walks. Eating. It's a looks like a tour
of a coffee and cacao plantation. And a sanctuary and butterfly garden visit on day,
seven. Eight would be ziplining and canopy tour. denial of the beach time and some said Can marine crews
Day 10 would be travel to the national park by a bus going Pacific Coast. Day 11 would be a major hike. they 12 would be surf lessons or
just hanging out the beach and then day 13 would be travel to the airport and return to Mora the last couple years when they went in 20205, they also
travel before offset the cost. So again, it would be provided by the more adventure, tours LLC. Unless there is space albemar high school trip, constantly care for lodging,
travel insurance, all it can be listed in the itinerary and breakfast daily. Lunch of included on the days with schedule activities. Students
should be planning to bring additional money for additional money for meals and souvenirs. Dates are flexible and will depend on purpose of the group
in airfare. deposits our responsible until flight reservations are made, and that's once I get looks like not over is coming October.
Write any questions? I'll make a motion to approve. I have a second. All right. Motion made by
Director Halstead, seconded by Andrews. Any discussion. All those in favor. Say I, I Opposed. Of
same motion, carries back to zero. All right, approval of Ecfe, coordinator position. so, this is a position that essentially, merges a couple
job, descriptions job duties. The person that's in that role currently and reviewed. What they do is would be and I'm
For it and supportive of it. And I don't know if Jennifer wants to talk more details about it all briefly. Yes.
to grow, it becomes critical role for classes staff. Now that, that is under the district umbrella, whereas he used to be. And so it's just a tremendous way for us to
reaching means as well to bring them in to be a part of our district and to engage in early childhood activities. So will this be a new posting,
or is this role into the old? Person's position or how does that work? Right. It would want to roll into the position that that person's career. Yeah. Any other questions? What's the
cost of district? We don't. The work would be so easier, people yet. So ultimately, usually that that Is with. It.
She brings in the money. That so the pH, you know? So when we look at them budget, if it runs a deficit, it dips into the specific fund for On balance. And right now that
fun board does have a fun balance of 300,000, but I do know that the goal is To have that break even as possible. So at this point, the general one
is not covering anything it's specifically. That fun. We're going through that or bugging in depths, they're ready, right? $90,000.
Yeah, we had more costs. Everybody in the depths even more correct. Yes, so this is for next year, but yes, in that next year's not quite as big of a deficit, but they have a fun balance if I
understand, so that covers it. We know. the cost is, we're just gonna Throw the money out there, I guess is my question
because I've already budgeting 90,000 on the deficit, if it goes off, more than that, we have $300,000 in the budget.
Three years. And We're here at dollars. so, why don't get Because we had, we always had a surplus. We started hiring different things for community
yet and I was always here. See, one of the deficit. less my question, I'd like to Not know the board before I can prove
something like that. What it's gonna cost the district and obviously have fun already. The client work especially with all the answer. What it is. I
don't think I can prove myself. Or whatever, I don't know what they cost personally. Now, you see Classes RP based in Considious program. And so, with
this position may be working on that revenue strategy, And nutritional classes and outreach.
To new families. So, with the gaming based program, that revenue strategy is especially important. For the past.
Almost died. Hypothetical right before we were going to get that. Right. That growth would be external goal. Then what we are doing are absolute, you know, the work
behind that revenue strategy to achieve those goals. because, I think that isn't very Russian no for getting rid of the old job. What is that increase? And
that would be nice to know. So we're going to this new job description. What's the pain? They started 30,000 a year 10,500 in the end of the day. It's just nice for us
to understand after looking over a little bit more in depth. And if we have a personal there,
They're getting new position. How much we pay them? But the teacher's contract and so it would shoot currently has the teachers contract. So, for
all of that same teachings contract. So, this this description is for 20 hours a week, correct? Jennifer correct. And so what is it
currently? I would be aligned with the current number of hours a week, because 20 hours with this, right? Exactly, it's not
original all those grease in time for hours worked so, We're not increasing the number. So it wouldn't be an increase in hours. and you feel that person could
get that both of those duties done in that same amount of hours. Right. It's not there's another element too. preschool classroom. And so she she would having the same
duties. Portion of her. So they answer the question so they answer the question about this expense. There's no, no additional hours, right? And there's no additional Well,
other than the contract. Salary increase, right, right. And her number of days. Worked would be the same. And it's an expansion of she's on teacher and special
assignment currently. And so it's expansion, including early, childhood screening. Of the duties and not teacher on
socialism role. So what I'm hearing is, the cost won't increase. It will stay the same. because they're paid
under the same contract, doing Different job. Right. For the ecfe program, correct. Focus on
East DMV versus the additional. Teaching time that she's having increased on to this point. Forward in less teaching and
more administrative order. So, Correct and focused on ecfe. so then we look at replacing the teaching hours There's gotta be some sort of cost. I'm confused, I'm not
gonna lie, I'm very confused if we're giving somebody else other duties. Somebody has to fill the other duties and nobody wants to just take out other duties
without either more pay, or we bring in another person. Right there, the teacher, the teacher position then for that. Class
within at that point. With the teaching position. Paid people versus one, correct. So there is a cost to it a whole thing. Another person potentially part-time. I mean,
depending on how our preschool registration goals, it will potentially be an additional part time. We're monitoring our preschool registrations currently to
engage numbers of how many classrooms. How many preschool sections. You need potentially be new part time. and if our
enrollment of preschool, continues to grow and that would be an additional full-time need. What if it stays the weight is now? Using a part-time tank, correct? Right.
Yeah. And if our preschool enrollment roles that significantly that that would be a good problem if you will. But yes, they were watching those numbers preschool, registration,
February 25th. So we'll have a better deal for the enrollment. Understand me, 15. And some
other registration defines how have passed. We currently have 56. Yes, we're currently at 56 and
previous. Board meetings. This was the moon that we wanted to make to save money. so, even absorbing this role and having grandmaster control, or
ecmb that, being under the umbrella was gonna be some sort of capacity. It's just her what we were spending there. I
don't know what those numbers are so we can compare at this levels but I do remember that was why we will begin distraction, we would rather have that on on our control and
be Receiving services from the in-state. Which seemed quite expensive. Is that what you get rid of them? We're not with this past
year. Yeah, it's past weekly, So this is working to get a dedicated staff. that program is, Run by the district versus
United States. I just like to see the numbers. That's all. That's my thing. Like I want to ask the question you Looking for an approval on
something, but we don't know. That's all. What would you guys think if we? like, could be table this on the next meeting, and after enrollment comes in
and have like, maybe get what we were spending on that position through Mid Star, know, pain for that, just a
little bit more financial if you guys think, and I personally like that, like See our funds. Not bugging any
deficit. so I would like seeing I think if we move forward with able to take these numbers and it makes sense, they were spend a lesson in Midstate. And it's,
you know, saving them along. We have to hire somebody here. Have a part-time. Obviously that makes sense. And I think
Jennifer said by me, we would have more about maybe 15. You should have One and where those classroom sections. Ratios online.
What would happen if we hired this position and in a year, it didn't make as big of a difference as we thought. What
is our what can we do then? Well, I think gathering the mid-state. Financials of what we've got used across us with the importance. I wasn't here at
that time, but I will work together so that we could include that. Well, what I'm asking is, so I think what you're trying to do is
right-size program now that we're starting, you know, we've had a year and we're kind of looking into going into next year, right? And you're looking
at where you need help and and that stuff so So I get that. But that's the question is a year from now. If we approve this and then a year from now, our enrollment still at 61, you know, this, this
didn't help like we thought it would what's our recourse at that point. well, I think
I think it's important for us to put in place three to five years plan as well. For the program that includes. The broadening
projections. any costume instrument stage and then any scholarships were incorporating any university. So I think a three year Next year, kind of a three year, new plan, as we work to grow in.
It's in its empathy. I wonder. Yeah, I want to go through your forecasting and plan to see work. We do. Yeah. I was a little bit history and
see we're numbers to, right? I mean I'm not gonna lie. The elephant in the room is our numbers are dropping period.
They are at the Elephant home and what have we done to fix that? Personally, I don't know. You know, are we? To that, we still hire more that
of possible savings among other places. and numbers keep dropping. Something have to happen. So I would rather see something like that, right? In
actual projection. Hey, that's what we're looking at this. We're gonna try and get to but to Ryan's point, you hire, somebody
It's really hard to get rid of that first ones, higher it is. That's what mattered. so, I think when you start getting serious on, Watching these
songs. 90 thousand dollars a year and you have $300,000 for easy math.
Maybe four years, Basically. Don't. That's my day. Right, anything else?
Do you guys want to table this until next month? So, we will table back to next. The next
one. Our great discuss and approve the fy26 revised budget. Yep. So this is what we discussed last month. not a lot changed. There was we
kept ABM a little bit of adjustment so Assumes 904. And so, The big piece here was the unwanted psl so working with
jolly. Look at the basically the percent of pseo. So last year 75. And it was about 82%
is what you got paid for. when you look at the seniors because of PSU and so we did that same analysis with this and increase that 12th grade to about 47 based on
knowing what how many he expects to graduate So, we're at 9:04 with your device. There was a little bit of a reallocation with ecse. So that's the early
childhood special ed. And so if if those students those teachers are special ed so it either has to be general fund or special ed Under the preschool. And so we have to
make sure that we allocate the funding based on the time they spend there. And so there was a realization between One with
the special ed. The main thing that changed is fun. One is more break even at this point for revised budget or I think it's a deficit of 800,000. I'm sorry,
800 dollars. anybody else? So, and then the food service stayed the same. fun for with that change of the allocation is a little bit more of a deficit of 90,000 debt service to the same.
So overall bottom line, definite 143,000 probably for the last page it could be the big picture. Yeah, so you can see in the far right on that 143, which is
pretty close to. what you saw last month. Again, it's just adjustments between fun, one and fun for the biggest areas until General Fund Fund balance will be at 21.4% all funds 22.5%,
That just gives basically a lot more detail and we I walked through all those lines last month, but that's gonna tell you the changes between the original
and and three guys, proposed revised. and that 21.4% is that after we've already repaid, the deficit of that 143,000, So, that deficit of 143 is it actually made up of the food,
service community ed and debt service and those all have individual fund balances and so general fund is actually only
budgeted to have a destination. Hours. So right now, your food service fund ended last year, with 181,000 fund balance, and total just Dip it out a little bit.
On four, had a fun balance actually 423,000 from last year until that's going to dip into that and then debt service has about 220. I'm sorry, 49,439. Any other questions for Bridget?
I got one more so looking at 904 as the budgeted number. How how does that go across the entire year? Right, because we started with a budget 917. We started around there, and then
we've been going up and down since then. So, and we're under 900 now, will that Even out across because we were over 900 for a long enough to keep us around that mark, if
you do get waited. So if you lose kids, you do get paid if they're here for half the year. I think part of what has been
and this is maybe partially my fault because when I came in, I'm looking at those. Mars reports in the ecsu. Numbers are not on there and so but you will
get credit for You don't know, don't show up on the Mars report until the end. Of year, the way things are done. And so that's been the disconnect. So
hopefully soon because we're getting close to the end of the year. Those Mars reports are going to start to see the 12 or the 15 that we expect to get. And so your student coming, I mean, yes, I
do believe the loss of students but that, that number that's been on your report has not included ecse because it has not been on the margin report.
That help. So, I mean, that would really put us at Nine or seven. Well, six, I'm watching that you are gonna get that 15 ECSC that week. expect that once the numbers are
entered in for the hours respect, but the special effort each other. So we think we're going to be at night. No, that's with all that. That's the budget is that
I know for like we believe that it will be about that. The only thing that changes that bumped up a little or if there's maybe
a little bit less psco this year compared to last year because my best way to budget for that is
they sound last year's analytics For hours, I should say. All right, anybody else? All right. Can I get a motion to approve the fy26 revised budget? Which are made by Director
Hofstad. All second. Seconded by Director home. Any discussion. All those in favor. Say I, I
opposed Abstained motion, carries five to zero. Right? Discussion on the proposed fy27 budget. So the column you're going to be
looking at here, is the far right column and we'll look at EDM to start and so you can see, I set this one up a little different. So your stuff total EDM shows 912 and so that is what we
believe to be the student count that you will have. And then I did adjustment for pseo. And towards the bottom, there are minus 11 thinking that
if we trend the same way that you're not going to get paid on those 11 students are it's not 11 specific students, it's accumulation of hours that your juniors and
seniors take 901 What we believe you would get, we budget that you get paid on. They would have questions from that.
The state is giving you 2.69% increase, so that's the general fund straight across increase for fiscal year, 27, that's already approved. We know that
If you have down a couple pages to Overall up ones are in pastry. So this is your general fund revenue. So a lot of
calculations based on the state percentage. Overall general off on revenues are increasing 133,000. So two things here, since we talked about that last month and this
is a program that was adopted for this year and you get paid on the expenses, the following 55% of the expenses from this year. You're going to see the revenue next year. So that's a part of your
increase in general fund revenues as well as just the overall 2.69% you're getting from the state so, in overall, increase their from your just
what you just approved the revise budget 133,000 So then you can jump down. Salaries and benefits we based on the settled contracts. So we
have so far, salaries and benefits our budgeted to increase 95,000 from the revised budget. and then overall, the non salary lines that were we just gave a 3%. General degree. So communication
services utilities etc just as a unless we do specific. contracts that's just a general. A few bigger pieces. I wanted to point out so some tech equipment, which is network switches do iPad, smart
boards that's increasing about 40,000 some of that is a great reimbursable so I have since it's going up and there's a little more revenue coming in with that.
Your state spend and add this which again states that it's in reimbursed, 95-ish percent. And then the ad says you see the revenue following year that's increasing about 76,000 and
that's a big piece of that is just overall salary in. Es so overall. Your general fund. Increasing expenses. The
revised. So that projection. Is 155,000 that you see there is what we're expecting the general fund. To budget as a deficit.
So that does give into the general fund. On balance of that 2.6 million network 30. So we get you to a
fund balance of 1927 percent. The. Each other. so food service, this is a formula of the truly based on with your students, your
students are being pretty similar, but then we just know that there'll be a little bit of increase across the board until almost all deposit here
too. Of 17,000. Fun for. I believe that we are right sizing this a little bit more with increasing some tuition amounts and then this is adjusting down a little bit of the cellular
benefits. But that's partially because of just the paras that were initially budgeted. So Jennifer and I can revisit this a little bit closer just to make
sure that we have, you know, everybody allocated here. But I do believe that the tuition was going to get up a little bit of an
increase with the right size of that. So that's budgeted as a deficit of 44,000 right now. And then your debt service fund
is pretty set. These debt service payments were scheduled out. So this Is the way it's set. It does run a small deck set of 123,000.
What you having fun balance in there? 400,000. So overall, all ones deficit of 250,000. So it's about 100 of the other
funds and 150 in the general fund. However, any other questions? Right? We will move on to approval of donations by resolution. To anyone want to
introduce the resolution with the reading. Oh, it's motion made by Director of Trout. like, Seconded by
Director Hofstad. Any discussion. Titles in favor say I hope. That's right. Drive Control. Director Andrews. I director
Boy, I Director Austin. Right. Motion carries five to zero. So here's another one here, sorry. All right, I would like to
recognize the donations. We have a donation from the Royals Wrestling Club. For 996 dollars designated to the Student
Council Student Memorial. A donation from Walmart at $50 gift card for community and carnival. Royalton. Lumber Donation of $100 to the Student
Memorial Project. Royalton youth. Travel baseball their donation of an indoor batting cage. And that was designated to the student activities
athletics. No great. And then policy of readings. So only those. So first policy we don't have any policies coming in right now. we're way
ahead of the game. I think there's eight left for this year. So we're gonna take a couple months off and not through 200 pages in a couple weeks. The biggest one is responsibly use of artificial
intelligence. We talked about that almost the entire meeting this last time. So both the admin team, David's team and the principles and then the teachers are gonna put together
basically a committee to tell us to help tell the board, how we should regulate it the school ourselves and and they can figure out what they're doing now to see what's in there because some teachers have certain restrictions on things
which can use and can't use the different things. So we want to great size that and get it done. but take our time to do it. So
it's ready for the next school year, basically do that. So be in the Handbook. And that's that's really it. Everything else we approved today. That was
basically, on three year rotation except for the school resource office, that was the new one. We added, those six education pieces. And that was,
that was it for that? Thanks right. In the upcoming meeting schedule. Finance Committee.
