Also moved. Got a second. Second. Second. Second straight straight OG. We're open for discussion. Mr. Scar, I'd like to add a couple of items to the agenda for discussion. One is um I'd
like to video stream the uh public forum if we can. I know that we usually don't for this to do that and also to expand the public forum 45 minutes necessary time if we have more
than 10 and I leave that up the discretion of the chair. Okay. So should we can we we tackle it in two different two different and then for that motion first the motion would be to live stream the uh forum public
forum. Do we have a second? Do we have a second? Do we have a second? Okay the the motion does not move forward without a second. And with since we're um we'll go on to the second one and add the time
for 45 minutes. Sure. Is that what you wanted? I thought you did both of them at the same time. No, we did the first one, but I thought if you want to do the second one to make sure. So the second motion in front of us is to add make the board uh the public forum 45 minutes. Do
we have a second? Point of clarification. Yes. Uh point of clarific is that 45 minutes total for all speakers or are you asking to allow one speaker 45 minutes? No total total total. So we can have up to 15 speakers instead of 10 at the discretion of the
chair. So if we don't have more than 10 then we don't need Okay. So the the motion was made is to have 45 minutes total for the public forum. Do we have a second? Do we have a second?
Do we have a second? Okay. The motion does not move forward. Mr. Scar, the second the second motion I'd like Oh, sorry. Sorry. Sorry about that. Um, I guess since they both failed, it's a good
thing that my microphone wasn't on. Uh given that we've got quite a few speakers, we got a packed house, we've received many emails and letters regarding a uh certain subject, I'd like to make a motion to add a discussion item to our agenda, which is compliance
with executive order 14201 related to title 9. So, we received a letter. I just want to give you the facts on this. So, I'm going to read it read it from here. Uh, we received a letter from Representative Enen related to the district's policy to allow biological
boys who identify as girls participate in girl sports in violation of an executive order with respect to Title 9. He stated that we are one of 15 districts to adopt such a policy. Citing Minnesota Attorney General, the
superintendent responded that we are in compliance with Minnesota laws and the district policy is to allow biological boys who identify as girls participate in girl sports. Representative Curran sent a letter to the district in support of the district's
policy. I'd like to include all three letters uh in the record for this meeting. Okay. irrespective of the fairness of policy to biological girls or the reverse. I've got two concerns. First,
not complying with an executive order has budget implications. Okay. Can I just stop you for a minute? We we don't have a motion on the table. And so, we have a motion. We're not going to discuss that part. Does that make sense? Yeah. I was justifying why I made the motion. We can
make that if we get a second and then we can talk about it if that'd be okay. Sure. Okay. So, the motion would be to add a discussion item. It was the executive order. Give you I have to ask the number again. Compliance with executive order
14201 related to title 9. Okay. So, do we have a second for that motion? Do we have a second? Do we have a second? hearing. None. The motion fails. So, I would just like to make a comment that
point of order. Yes, ma'am. Point of order. We the motion failed and so we need to move on to the the next point agenda. Well, it'd be nice if the board had the courage to go on record on this matter. All right. So, we have before us an agenda and we have a uh we have a
motion and a second. Is there any further discussion on the agenda? Uh, with this there'll be a voice vote. All in favor say I. I. All opposed. Motion carries. We also have
before us a consent agenda. This contains a variety of business items that come to us monthly, including donations. We are truly grateful for the support shown every month to our staff and students. So, we want to thank you. Um I just going to say I noticed in
there that um on one of the one of the uh donations was you know very big and so we want to make sure that we thank everybody but um I can't I won't go on until we get something in front of us. So can I get a motion to approve the consent agenda? So move. Okay. Daniels
that got a second. Second. Second by Thompson. Any further discussion? Okay. This will be a roll call vote. Will the clerk clerk please call the role? Ellison. Hi. Scar. Hi.

Okay. Um, I finally made it back down. Uh, before we move on, I just want to make sure, do we have any questions for Dr. Casmichek on the student recognition of the superintendence report? All right. So, we're going to move along. We're going to move on to
discussion item D1. It's the first reading of school policies 413, 512, 706, 710, 711, and 712. So we we rout we uh we have a routine of always looking at our policies updating
them and normally what happens is we bring them to the first meeting and as just a discussion item these will come back and uh come back at at the next meeting the next full meeting for a vote to approve the changes on it'll be on May 12th or um for that agenda they will
come back and so you normally will have any do you have any questions looking at these on these policies? Yes. Yes. M Mr. Scar, is this all the policies? Yeah. Which Yeah. If you want to look at one 512 512. Can you tell me what page you're looking at? The big
page. Uh 69. So under the general statement of policy, we remove the sentence, the school district may exercise editorial control over the style and content of student expression in school sponsored
publications and activities. So I'm wondering why that was removed from the policy committee. Yeah, I don't know. Matt, is this related to the statutory changes that were made on page 68? Yeah, I believe so. Yeah, that
was a statutory change. Which statute you have it should at the bottom. Does anyone have that? Where did you find it? Yeah, I think it's the one. Was this was this required or was this
optional? The language that is being struck is consistent with the the new saying striking it. Was that mandatory or was that optional at our option? Well, we generally try to align with
state statute policies. So, it was mandatory. Excuse me. your mics, please. Sure. I'm not sure you want to listen to it, but uh so it's mandatory. It's
mandatory, not optional. It's not like you may do this. Yeah, you have to do it. Again, I would have to look at the exact wording from the statute, but my understanding is that this is what one one of the changes that was made. I would like that validated. Okay. Okay. So, you'll get we'll get
something on that for you. Other questions? Aren't any of us free to just go look up the statutes that are cited at the bottom? Yes. Okay. So, the information is there. Yes. So, any other questions?
Well, hearing none, know that these will come back for approval on May 12th. And in the meantime, we'll get that information you've requested. All right, we're going to move on to operational item E1, action on bid for the White Bear Lake Area High School
roof replacement project. Mr. Wald, welcome. Good evening, Chair Arcan, members of the board, Dr. Casmichek. Uh E1 is re is regarding the uh replacement uh bid tabulation for the
replacement of a portion of the roof at Wiper Lake Area High School. This is the southernmost of the three circles of the original construction. And so it's a portion of that circle. That uh project is included in our 10
years our 10-year long-term facilities maintenance plan, which is our list of deferred maintenance projects that we intend to tackle over the next 10 years. We advertise for bids in our official newspaper, the White Bear Press. In March, vendors were encouraged
to submit both a uh a bid for summer of 2025 construction and summer of 2026 construction. Uh we had no biders for the summer of 2025 and we had four biders for the summer of
2026. Bids were opened on April 4th, 2025. After reviewing the bids with our um our roofing uh construction manager, that's RSI, I think in the um agenda it says SRI, that's a typo. Should be RSI
roofspec incorporated. Um they recommended that we award the bid to the low bidder Peterson Brothers with a bid of $353,400. Peterson Brothers has worked on uh many of our projects over the years. Generally know our facilities
pretty well. We've been very happy with their work. They don't win all the projects. They win some of them. Um the highest bid for this project was 483400. And really the next two above PE uh Peterson were very close within just
a few thousand dollars. Um so the recommendation is for the board to accept the overall bid for the Wiper Lake Area High School roof replacement project as presented to Peterson Brothers in the amount of $353,400. Okay. So we have a recommendation in front of us to accept
the overall bid for $353,400. Do we have a motion? So move. Okay. Ellison, there a second. Second. Second by. Oh, a discussion. Any questions? Have a question. Yes, Mr. Scar. Uh, is this part of the uh Krauss
Anderson scope of work integrated into their project? Because I know we had the 327 million or 326 million and then we had LTFM integrated in so it was nearly 400 million. Is that part of that
project? It is not. This is a uh part of our long-term facilities maintenance plan. So, it's not included in that work. Krauss Anderson wouldn't be involved in that in this project. So, what was the LTFM that was included in
Krauss Anderson's scope, which was the 326 plus the LTFM, which came up to was it around rough numbers 396 million something? Yeah. Yeah. About about 75 million. Why wasn't why wasn't this included? Was it an oversight or just
part of the schedule? Uh we have projects um within within the scope of work part of the LTFM project LTFM plan with the bond projects were that there were as we went into buildings there were projects that made sense that we
could go and and use the LTFM funding for that. And so as as we went into buildings and were taking things apart, it made sense to do some of that deferred maintenance at that time. This is a project that could potentially fit
in there. Um we have ongoing LTFM needs and so this is just a matter of plugging in where you know where the uh uh there's timelines on when that money needs to be spent. So it's plugging it in when when it's the right time to do
it. Okay. Thank you. Yeah. Can I can I ask another question? Go ahead. Just LTFM that that money is uh some state funding, right? Some of that money comes from the state. We do a 10-year plan. Yeah. Most of our our LTFM is really
some of it is bonds that can be passed approved by the school board. And so that was part of the bond project. um that wasn't a voter approved bond because the school board can sell LTFM bonds. Um we also uh within our levy
have LTFM um that's levied on an annual basis to pay for ongoing maintenance. Not all states have it, but we we do. Yeah. Yeah. Not all school districts school districts depending on the size
and the time at which they qualified for different funding for deferred maintenance have some different rules. In White Bear Lake, we you know we were um you know one of the school districts that qualified for um to be able to levy
for you know for bond for deferred maintenance as as we go on. Right. Because the age basically the age of our buildings is a big part. Correct. square footage and age of buildings. It was part of the calculation that that for which we qualified. What was that
funding called before that? It was uh before it was LTFM. It had a different name and I just don't recall what it was too. Yeah, deferred maintenance. Was a broader alternative facilities funding I think is what? Yeah, alt facilities funding. Yeah. Thank you, Miss Belo. Um,
for the LTF bonds, what's the amount that the board can approve up to? Uh, that's a good question. I don't know. Is there a limit on what the board can approve on LTFM? I guess I'm not sure like when we issue bonds for LTFM
um without having to go it matches our it just matches our LTFM plan present annually. There isn't a technically there isn't a limit. We work in annual budget
and we do a 10-year plan, right? Yeah. Yeah. Every year we improve a 10-year plan, right? And all that is fac, you know, factored into tax impact. So, you know, something that the board has been, you know, conscious of throughout throughout the
planning process is what that tax impact is and not going above a stated tax impact. Other questions? But you know the question I'm going to ask, did the bid come in about where you expected? It did. So the 25 versus the
26 um was was a consideration because in you know construction has an inflationary um rate and projects never go down in price. And so the price the bid that we
received at under just under $37 a square foot is about what we were expecting for this year. So, we're pleased that um that it came in where it came in and felt like this was a good time to lock in for next summer's project.
Yes. So, if that's locked in now, I mean, with prices going up and down and here and there, that's an actual locked in number for this contract. It is if the board approves it. Yeah. Okay. Any other
questions? All right. We have before us a motion to accept the overall bid for the White Bear Lake Area High School roof replacement pro projected as presented to Peterson Brothers in the amount of $353,400. This will be a roll call vote.
So I'll ask the clerk to call the role. Ellison, I scar. I stri I. Thompson I Ar. I Daniels I passes. Thank you. Thank you. Uh, now we're going to move on to
operational item E2, action on the resolution proposing placement of continuing contract teachers on unrequested leave of absence. Mr. months. So this year um earlier in the spring, we brought forward a resolution allowing
us to take this action um not through budget reduction but through changes in programming. We did end up having uh to place teachers on unrequested leave of absence. And so we are asking for board approval this evening.
Okay. So, you've heard the uh action as you approve the resolution proposing placement of continuing contract teachers on unrequested leave of absence. Do we have a motion? So, moved. Okay. Ellison, do we have a second? Second. Second by Daniels. Any
discussion? Yes, Miss Bid. Do you have a number of teachers? One. One. Okay. Y if I have a question. Go ahead. Just Yeah. If if uh if things change, programs change over the
summer, teachers are called back. Correct. So, absolutely. Yep. So, there's a period of time um that extends to years um as long as they're renewing interest in remaining on unrequested leave with the district in which they're always the first call whenever there
would be an appropriate opening within any of the areas of their lure. Yes, Mr. Drafoji. Do teachers placed on unrequested leave that are not working, are they able to go to work elsewhere? Yes, absolutely.
Any final questions? Okay, we have the motion in front of us to accept back. Sorry. Uh motion refers to uh proposing the placement of a continuing contract teacher on unrequested leave of absence. This will
be a voice vote. All in for favor say I. I oppose. Same sign. Thank you. The motion carries. Thank you. We are now going to move on to operational item E3 action on the resolution for acceptance
of the classroom grants. Dr. Kasmichek. Right. Thank you, Chair Arin and members of the board. act. Um, so the Wiper Lake Area Educational Foundation has forwarded 13 Glazer grants to me with request that these grants be formally accepted by the school board. As part of their internal process prior to
consideration of any proposal, the foundation reviews the proposals with our administration um uh for confirmation that the uh grant proposals are consistent with our curriculum and if technology is used consistent with our technology plan. So the recommended action is to accept the
following uh resolution that's in the packet for 13 Glazard grants from the White Bear Lake Area Educational Foundation um presented in the amount of $28,18467. Okay, you've all heard the um recommendation. Do we have a motion? I'd
like to make the motion. Motion by Mr. Scar. Is there a second? Second by Miss Bloid. Any further discussion? Yes, Miss Ellison, I just have a comment. As someone who has worked in teacher education for 20 years, these types of experiences for teachers are so
transformative and allow them to take this hands-on experiential learning right to their classroom. And so, the fact that the foundation is able to support programs like this for our teachers, the students are going to benefit tremendously. I mean, we there's
so much research that shows how much teachers benefit this type of experience. So, I just want to say thank you to the foundation for always being so supportive of our teachers and allowing them to have these experiences. So,
all right, Mr. Scar, I would just like to say as a member of the part as a board member of the foundation that they work really hard, do a good job. We have a strategic vision on what what's best for the community and we're working through a um revision to kind of the
strategic plan to to be better well known or more well known in the community which I think is important. Thank you. Anybody else? Oh, go ahead. Sorry. So, I know that these um grants the uh proposals need to
get in early. So, any teachers out there that are thinking about maybe applying for one of these, put together your proposal um now, sooner than later. All right. And thank you for these grants. Uh we have in front of us a
resolution to accept these grants. Um this will be a roll call vote. So, I'll ask the clerk to call the role. Ellison, I scar. I strike Ooji. I Thompson. I Aran I Daniels I and the motion carries. Thank
you. Uh we're moving on now to operational item E4 action on schoolboard policies 420 427 508 533 701 and 704. These came to the board for the first reading in March. Now we take
those usually a lump and we approve them together. Can I get a motion to approve the policies? So moved. So moved by Thompson. Can I get a second? Second. Second by strength OG. Any questions or discussion?
Hearing none. This will be a voice vote. All in favor of accepting policy 420, 427, 508, 530, 533, 701, and 704, please say I. I. I. Oppose. Same sign. Okay.
The motion carries. Now I gota look at my agenda. Do we want to do I'm looking at the one I've got um forum first and then the Okay. So now we're going to go to board forum. It's now time for the board. Are there any board members who would like
to share activities they've been doing through communities? Yes. Um yes, I I had the opportunity to go through the technical school 916 and um as a tour with some other board members from um intermediate uh 916
school district. And I just want to say there's so many great opportunities for our community and our students at the 916 Tech School. So I was so impressed with all the programs they have and the opportunities. So that was really great. And then I also was
um well actually Ang and I and maybe you were going to talk about going to the consortium for state school board members in Atlanta and I just have to say we went to um was a pull out our you know separate sessions um and I have to say I'm just so proud to be from
Minnesota and from White Bear Lake School District and the work we're doing in our state and in our community. Um there were people from all over the country and presenting things and lots of discussion and um we just we just
have a really strong um educational um I don't just everything about Minnesota and White Bear Lake I just was super proud. So I just have to say that in comparing and talking to other people from all over the country thank you for the opportunity to attend
the conference. Thank you. We're going to go to Miss Bloid and then I'll go to you Mr. Scar. Um, I just wanted to comment on our White Bear Lake archery program. Um, apparently this year, uh, people were very impressed with the
facility because this next year, um, White Bear Lake is going to be hosting the regional tournament. So, it's a pretty big honor. It's going to be uh, lots of work. So, if there's anybody out there that would like to volunteer, um, go
talk to your archery folks. and uh Brian Peloquin can also steer you to committees and everywhere else where you can get involved. Great. Thank you, Mr. Scar. Well, I just wanted to say, you know, I was old for two of adding things to the agenda. I
kind of feel like Mroy before he won the Masters yesterday. So, but anyways, I wanted to say that, you know, part of being a bear is being authentic and having courage and taking a stand. The other thing I wanted to mention was
um uh compliance with the free lunch program. Apparently, you still need we still need to complete or low-income families still have to complete applications. Is that right? So, we're in compliance with that because I there
was something on Care TV that many school districts are not in are not in compliance because they're not requiring the applications. Yeah, there's it's kind of it's it would be a longer agenda item probably, but it's um well, we can whether or not we
for later. Yeah. Whether or not we it's it gets down to um the biggest issue for school districts currently is the compensatory funding that's tied to the free and reduced count and and some of that's based on what folks turn in. So, it's a real challenge. It's being discussed at the legislature. So, I'm
guessing that's what the story was about, right? Yeah. Okay. Okay. Hey, Miss Ellison. I just want to invite everyone to attend the bandama tomorrow night um at Aldrich Arena. We did it last year for the first time. All of the band students in the
district come together and they play by grade and it was so much fun and so I highly recommend. We have such an excellent music program here in this district and it was a fantastic opportunity to to support our kids. Um
and then I just wanted to to echo what Miss Daniels said. I've I've gone to several conferences as a schoolboard member in the past number of years and it's really eyeopening to talk to people from different places. Deb and I went to one in Philadelphia a number of years ago and we are really fortunate here to
be in a school district that supports all of our kids. So I I appreciate the work of of the teachers, the staff, the the pair professionals and the district office to make that happen for our kiddos. So good. Thank you.
Yes, Miss Thompson. Okay, just a couple of things I wanted to highlight that are uh coming up. The Rot the Rotary Youth Club is still looking for two families to host international exchange students for the coming school year. Uh you could reach out to Mr. Wald for more
information if you're interested in being able to do that. also just find it really fantastic that we have a program called week without walls where kids in the district go uh during spring break on different adventures across the world, different countries wherever have
been chosen. And next year we have two fantastic choices. Uh two groups of students will be able to go to Italy or Peru. Um if you're looking for more information on that, I am not sure exactly who to direct you to. So I'm going to just say the district offices.
uh Wayne could probably help figure that out. Um they only allow 15 students per group to go. So it is uh something that is um limited. So if you're interested, I would get information now. Uh there is a cost associated with that. So you would have to be able to afford it as
well. Um for students who maybe are lowincome, uh there are opportunities for grants and other ways to go. So please reach out for more information. I just discovered this tonight and I'm super excited. I am I haven't had a chance to look at my calendar, but we
have an upcoming event on Monday, May 5th from 7 to 8:30 in the high school performing arts center called a day of hope and it's a White Bear Lake students shine an inclusive music event. So it says it'll highlight unique performant performances from students with and
without special needs sharing their musical talents and personal stories and it will be an all-inclusive multiensory experience. So, a great event for families who are looking for something to do with students who might need to have some sensory concerns. They will make sure that those students have a
great experience at the event. Um, next week is administration professionals appreciation week. As a former administrator, uh, person who ran offices, I know how much our district depends on those staff, including our very own uh, Mrs. Markinson. uh we
appreciate all they do for our district and we would not be able to get through a day without them all. So I really appreciate that as well. And then just wanted to end on a note from something that we overheard from a young man who presented in Atlanta. Um his name was
Darn just forgot Brendan. I can't remember his last name. Darn it. Um but he was a young man who um himself had some he has one of the rarest forms of um dorphism dwarfism and
he had some challenges in school as you can imagine and his story was wonderful to listen to um and how he was supported in his school and his support person ended up being a school librarian. And so we know how important our librarians are as well in our school
district as well as all of our staff. But one of the things that he highlighted in his presentation that really stood out to me and I haven't been able to forget it is that uh diversity is not a choice but inclusion is and I will always choose to include
all of our students no matter what. All right. Thank you. That's hard to tell. [Applause] Thank you. Um I'm just going to wrap this up by saying thank you for all of you for coming tonight. It's always nice to see a full boardroom during our
meetings. We you're always welcome and we you know we like to have you here. So thank you everybody for showing up. Uh we're moving on and uh we're going to go on to labor negotiations which will be a closed session. So what'll happen is we'll go through the formality. we'll go into a close session and then we'll come
back out and um basically adjourn the meeting. So that's what's going to happen. So the portion of this labor negotiations meeting will be closed to consider strategies for labor negotiations including negotiation strategies or development or discussion and review of labor negotiation
proposals uh conduct conducted pursuant to Minnesota statute 179A.01 to 179A.25. So it's so do we need to have a vote or do you just need a motion? We need a motion. Okay, that's what I want to say. So can I get a motion to go to close
session? So moved. Thompson. Do we have a second? Second by Lloyd. Any discussion? Um all in favor say I. I. Oppose. Same sign. Okay, we're going to close session.
