I haven't we had a meeting today our sciac everything's going to be up here for you so you may not be right or Scott on his board but you can click and see our agenda you can see our minutes and you can see our presentation we have this meeting this morning 7 in the morning I haven't had an opportunity yet to get this updated there's our advisory team there's a 2015 master plan so again will drink beer and see we're trying to put it up here Tyler work this summer with a building principal and it said it was going to go but if you go to the school page we have all of our curriculum every course has their power standards up there so parents say how do I know what they're teaching we have them up here in every class pork the classes are coming I'm not going to stay there in the bus form and they're cleaned up but we pushed real fast and hard to do try to get them out so parents are wondering this is the place they should go underneath their building so thank you to Tyler and Kathy's not here but those are up there we're going to work on combining our Elementary web page has some of those things we've paid to have a major web overhaul but haven't gotten the position yet to sit and see what we want to do with it but if you get your nose in and around that Brown and tell me what else needs to be I go through it as things come up but that's why at the end of this meeting I'm going to take all of you so that I can update your pictures so we'll get that up so what page any questions on that is it on there what do you want directions to Allegan staff directory what more can I do I need directions on how to get there I did call the school today and I couldn't link for my extensions okay yeah I have to tell you directions to you can't use it so I think people are excited about it that's it and I would take suggestions and be back anytime we really are trying to make it to a more usable Landing space or not just our community in Turkey Stop Shop I know I sent this out in your updates our rankings team and you can see that we're commendable and three buildings and he's in prison at Monroe Elementary what I do need to say about that is remember this was based on last year's death that included 345 45 now has shifted to another building that will likely look different and so I put some resources up there and I know he's got a lot to do today but I don't want to go everything I do also want to talk about the schools that are on extended Target what that means is they were on a Target list before code They carried it over and then we just didn't see the girl is your soul with an extended Target kind of a you do an area where we want to move forward I am confident Monroe Elementary rules different next year you can see the areas or low socioeconomic doing something to disability trees that are not on the list and I know has been doing some really great for us to dig in there in a few like for example where there is commendable so something is still wrong like this is extended Target the students abilities to what needs to be better what are they eating then or is it just me so this will fit have that they might be tired yes so this is an area of his great game when we talked about improving in one of our staff Larry is whether we like it or not every single school district is evaluated on the so this year in April you take the test in spring right when facility usage in uniform and we're okay with administering them but we want you guys to be aware of them are Community use District building policy the 900 and then our open night that's the one that governs Wednesday activities coffee the community use of build does not state that facilities cannot be you Wednesdays after 6 it only States people in Canada so we might need to know there are people that outside groups using our facilities on Wednesday so that's something that that the board wants to change you need to change the policy that's the only time they can get in the gym and so they're here on Wednesday nights its Parent's Choice we have nothing to do with it they use they go through the computer to use but I didn't want to have this week and I talked about it I didn't want some Steve why are people in the building at Wednesday night and I'm like well because our policy allows them to use the buildings are Wednesday night activities governs sponsor what's a good sports what is the same Sunday we have a time frame hours Sunday Scott hours in the community news Wednesday the 505 08 is all about overnight what is the weather on Sunday night so just so you know just so you're aware of your good if not if you want something changed we would have to change my outfit no kids Wednesday the other is priority except for what happened to Mike just a little bit small but right now Moon action items early generation list we're asking for your recommendation or the listings for early graduation we have 13 students okay either comes Egypt road map and so after our last meeting with him it defines board activities for the next 3 years in the area of District policy operational oversight governance engagement superintendent relations and so we're just asking to formally approve this so we can put this to practice on one second it was all worried excelso is yours open anybody's open wide open but I'm okay though we just need to know make sure they're going up in because it sounds like a Wordle open so we can PDF whatever we can if something doesn't open feel like we have it so you can do it all week long if you're not that you're going to check it every day but if you see something is not working let me know to wait till now that you've struggled with it let me know send me a text I don't know that I can navigate it but I also can get it up in the PDF or something isn't or I can let this year and all the bills were looking at it but when I open an Excel here with motion wallpapers Indian branding guidelines that'll work session receiving approval of The Branding guidelines but before you do that I was here for the work session by I won't think too much if you guys haven't already I think myself with that video of a clear or process or we could do any work so we weren't able to make I guess my role in it bringing that experience Joy Davis my contribution Texas I'm doing done a great teacher in the Middle School I know it wasn't so I will walk you guys to that document completely but that's what we're looking at moving for approval or just to keep everything very first meeting that was our our plan and consistency I'm going to ask how did you come up with bass naboris last or Facebook because I read got it but I looking at the other one thank you. again that's another example where we really hard as a leadership team to get voice around that work so it's not our work but it's getting together a community of Committee of people bringing different viewpoints to that work to give us recommendations and so miss you blink LED we will probably all our people like people asking you today about can we start using a cell will start the role of AC do you have jpegs and everything ready cuz they'll be spanked not yet thank you again, I'm excited I think a lot of people security cameras this request we have a great deal right now. Canon cameras and so we know that this is something that will be covered with that soon as we get the nod for the money from the governor and so in order to be able to order right away or bringing this forward to you plus we want to get the cameras you can see Tyler was just telling me the device cost of what's on sale the installation is not we will be using some of that safety initiative money $50,000 building the upgraded cams that was one area when they did arthritis our threat assessment they did that they went through a vulnerability and I will talk of Monroe you can see our Elementary cameras we did the bare minimum basically a couple of entrances in the building at the high school you can see we've done a better job with our city was continually monitor those cameras right now they would have to login into the program see the camera log into your phone and what's happening now is we're using them or if we had them on the screen sitting in the front office just be running all day so that's what the viewing stations are and I can be quite honest with you with or without you so we're asking for approval and again I put up above it if you using that 50000 money for building for sure we would like to purchase the cameras is our plan to spend the whole $50,000 and they're saying I have not seen any carryover so let's just pretend the high school doesn't have and we use 30,000 because they really are they're really I don't some people think they're in Detroit I don't know the backside of it but also at Prairie City the fire alarm and the alarm system on our docket for a long time. We get a good deal so between those two big projects again we haven't seen a report back and you guys can come back there are some doors that are don't match well that we may need to do so hearing someone splattering over of that would be a big one that's not including New Mexico it's imperative that to get the the good pricing on the cameras we need to go pricing I haven't heard back from the state about her for an apartment want to be delayed in it they don't have to go away so we take a look at remember we had a question about we're meeting in whatever whatever we do is we can go in the washer something happens after 30 days that we can't go back and see if they really is a phenomenal system so it's a great system but we're also need to have viewing station ocean as a security camera middle school computer rotation so this is I think he was at Uriah it's like every time I turn around me but the reality is going to last forever and kids are hard on them Tyler has a schedule that we rotate is better for the district if we can stay on it the bonus of this is if you look at the pricing once again Tyler is getting a deal on these things so it's a savings of $117 Chromebook which is just you know under $30,000 savings if we move forward with these now so we have to replace it it's just an order is going to be a cost savings for us these last four years they give you anything in life Costco when you're getting them for almost half of what they normally second emotion 2nd edition just keeping busy one thing to go to the next minute careful. can I get in where they do and it's very interesting I mean Shane and I are at risk coordinator for the elementary building and I'm here tonight to talk about starting a food pantry at Monroe Elementary I have Ty Harris here with us he is our representative from the Food Bank of Iowa so he's here I thought I'd give you a little history about what we've got going on so far last year Mrs meetings Ashley brought this idea of the backpack buddy program to our school and something that other school districts have done where she was previously but this is something to do with the food pantry here in Monroe and it's just like kind of like what it sounds like they have grocery bags and bring to our schools and then I go home and family every Friday so last year we were able to serve 12 families we are kind of excited we have more for Monroe and just a couple of Grand Prairie City it is about 28 students across the district because even though all high school students if they had siblings that were older to bring food home sweet home with elementary kids so so now we've actually like triple we've have 36 being ways in their split pretty evenly between a city and now it's 77 students across a really awesome are you able to do that and I added on there but I also over the summer 7 p.m. Ali's I delivered to their houses they were not wanting to really go to the church and pick up food so delivering to them and it was it was really awesome to see those kind of nice for me too I could go to the church and see what the process was there everything was downstairs and I'm just thinking all these ladies that I want you to do this they have to go downstairs at Presbyterian church and bring all these bags up and now that we have 77 I'm thinking well it's a lot for them to do so that we start a food pantry at Monroe Elementary cuz you have space there for one it would be in our area they are not there all the time so we can move we can easily move them to another room if we have to image of access just either with families and also the food truck that we need to come to like the back door where those dumpsters are they would be easily just be able to put the food right into that room and we still want the volunteers that work the food pantry in Monroe to be able to come and do this because they're just they're really passionate about it they're very tasty Peter just yeah there is awesome I come and do this for us a little bit we thought we talked about kind of the difference between the food pantry in the food bank of Iowa and right now Gary Munson is the one that orders all that for the food pantry near Monroe and so that if it was to take place in the Roman Tree I'd be the one ordering the food that was switched a little bit to get that started but and also kind of with the food pantry in the food bank there's only certain food you can get from the food bank the food pantry has been gracious enough to take donations from it everywhere around the community and they kind of been selling in the bags all the fun stuff like the Fruit Roll-Ups and the granola bars and all other kinds of things are even cute they put a little joke in it every Friday for the family but that I want that to happen we would just have to take donations we can't had a fun stuff from the some things we would need for the room is shelving a refrigerator and freezer because we could even start providing meat and milk and eggs and that kind of stuff at school we would need help with that but the food bank says reimburse us a $2,000 a great reason why we would love to have it at schools that families could just come and ask us anytime I feel like they'd be more comfortable with getting it will rather than going to the church I don't know I just think they're right there anyway they're picking up their kids are comfortable with us giving them the food and I just think they would use it more and also we learned this too that we can send home like Alyssa kids that we could provide and they can check off what they want and we can fill the bag and then send it home we still wanted to do it on Friday with the same volunteers we still want to run food drives and contrast right now we're doing a food drive I do middle schools doing one for November and December we do what door decorating contest and kids bring coins and whatever they vote on two front doors and all that money last year we were able to raise $1,000 just on the Sill that was cool and this is of no cost to the district so your place or are we just doing this because of the bags that you it's mainly because of the bags because it's it's becoming such a big undertaking now and so the church was still do a food pantry and then we would just have an extra cell stay open and then we would just be in addition to that I guess my question was I just love to have one at Payson Elementary there's not room right now so what is it because they don't want to children kindergarten families I said it probably wouldn't have four backpack buddy program needs to run to school an outside Source that's why I started and they just new toilet do this somewhere like we can send save you have a big room while I go over to get their hours in back up for sale for seniors turn on her side against the wire run over there but sometimes I do know that sometimes we always remain so be open when you think about what has a day at least once a week after school you might just started even just like sending home a checklist and backup you know the kids that we have what we choose those kids through free and reduced but we can go outside that list but we've had so many this year that we're just sticking to that group right now and even more you could do a fridge and freezer you can make anything I would like to move a problem question well that's a good question we talked about perhaps just putting helping out with going to donate on the other hand and it has to be sometimes she will have them over the fine. There's a couple of used appliance stores in Des Moines oh yeah so that that's you something when it comes time and we haven't even the space and that all of that that will look and see where we can get that in the most horrible man contest in December I will say since I started this position then he brought like a one-page sheet about and the history of food bank some statistics the big Noise by certain that there is a histogram right there recess I just an extra okay as I get all of them no removal contract three-year process didn't have a ride so we're seeking approval for the two bids and they were only better alien motion and a second word policy. 700 last month so we're seeking approval for seeking approval of the 700 and the policy primer Erin Hunter badge set public hearing date or redistricting that was the conversation you had for the last few months I will also point out that attach to probably notice if you will give me that she has the legal descriptions and she'll submit with the numbers on that super cab Cummins I just have a couple things we have another meeting to go to each year we have a special a deficit but I just wanted you to see the trans this is an area will really really working on and wanted on a charge of it with little school but we're really looking at the services in sports that we provide our helping art growing dependence and so I just wanted you to kind of see you were tracking pretty pretty typical there wasn't a lot that jumped out at me when I looked at this data use the one area you can't see is that so level one or our students that received minimal support all the way after what we went a level three students are quite a few if you look from 21 to 22 we're not we haven't seen broken are Level 1 student supposed to look at the changes that are pretty much certainty that's a lot of food so that's where we're seeing if you that come up but you also can see that it went down for level two but again that special a deficit of some that I have my eye on to see where can we make changes but in reality is sometimes it's very very difficult we may have to provide services last thing I have is IFC conference and Leslie and Rod would you guys want to talk about that last week school Finance I also went to it honestly resolution good and the Linn-Mar Orchestra and now I'm at all that opening today on Thursday holy crap wow

You guys stay on that I guess almost there hard to give up right in the executive committee I didn't know if you needed it have it it was in our policies that have it that's just driving right now I need a new butt I believe it was executive committee negotiation under that one you wanted to be more discussion I early retirement typically the board reviews this in December when I went through past agendas and so I just put up there there is no incentive for the district is no Financial benefit to The District in fact it would probably put in Advantage because we can't replace that experience right now with the lack of teachers coming so we would have had six employees that would have met the requirement we have seven you can see just to give you a historically what it is but this time it's my professional opinion that it will not be in the I agree but out of curiosity how many people per year I think they're done pretty soon extra money right the last time we thought right now we have four people that will have one more year of getting a $4,000 their benefit and then we have three people that have two more years of being on it we're getting up with $28,000 and if we couldn't no. Okay. action items bmcsd radon mitigation you approve that policy so Rusty went in train he is a certified radon he has a certification so he will be doing our training and you will see attached the train specifications we have decided to roll out our training over a number of years in our buildings and one of the primary reasons is because if we have an issue we wouldn't want to put all that money in the mitigating like instantly and so I have both he's 14 so we just need approval up promotion radon mitigation second I don't know how to spell so much the last legislative session second or policy 300 there are administrative policies that govern a big shout-out to Aaron if you can see it either so much easier before she has done the overrides and you can see what's new and with change the policies are removed ask her is these recommendation I don't believe it they're significantly so that's the reason why ever would be it hasn't been updated so and if they come. once combined the superintendent and principal and I'm just know that best impression of authority now is I'm looking at them Aaron and Son Gage 30 we had talked about the succession order and they're not listed in here so we actually put an order in the movie is because again in the session that I went to and I empty it was about concise Easy-to-Read language of the up-to-date are a really important and that all is going well autism ribbon reviews yeah I work out for blanks which one please let us know and then have listed you're going to see 200 series and we're going to call back clean up and the reason we have 200 clean up is because we approved the 200 series part of that but they just didn't get updated and so we want to bring it back to you to have you take a look at it and there were some little changes but so this will complete our 200 series and that's one of the things we had talked about was that she ignored representative but it never take me to print me a draft today we looked at it but when they were updated and put in it was it never was approved so that's one of the ones and there's not very many of you what we had already done that never got changed and there was a point in time where we was attractive I think that's really important and errands for you. What is the one that we already talked about recommend changing superintendent, I just looked in some important date highlights he was on the 22nd we typically have all of our staff together if staff day that her holiday celebrations I will send information out your welcome to attend games and stop and wait for you guys to come yep normally Marion gives us the date you haven't given so schedule School Board development when saying that we're learning and Ray talked about his advocacy I'm going to be quite honest with you it's not a strength of mine it's not something I'm learning to do better with legislators so it appears that after the election I have invited our legislators to different things to come for lunch I could have sent an invitation to come and meet with the board if you want they did participate in some of the candidates participated in our homecoming parade but can I talk to the bed works are still in bed or not we need to put on our work session for this where I see where financials with our signal but you know what he was trying to set some money aside for that feeling that we're here and we need to decide where we're going to eat dinner or not or drop but that one CD there that we will keep doing it every year and we think about the other thing money away once and then last year we were going to we table it until later I didn't get them the vehicle was but there's another one that they were talking about Finance then I don't know if we have that I've got to go back and pull it out we could work on things but he's he's our friend what would be some good talk to him about what be some good investment strategy that would be great either commit to it or we're not right somewhere I keep that up I need to figure out where we're going to go back to the or where we going to be at the ratio what are the name of yes where we can really spend some money talk about issues breakfast Aldi's you don't don't know where you guys are at on all that but you know I think we could spend some money there on a short-term but there's some things that work on the door it's just a question. Where is this budget or Robert to is that you wanted would you rather him come I work session in a row whatever because I think those are things that we waited right and put it on pause till we knew and so we didn't we haven't done very minimal facilities projects that you wanted you to know where we're at and so now we know and so do the things we do have a plan a lot of the solvency ratio when you heard about is the categorical there was a lot of carryover in preschool but you have to remember this year we hired a additional preschool teacher and remember the enrollment transmitting go up so that money is going to dip fast right but there are areas that set categorical money that we got to start getting down but absolutely we have curriculum expenses and we have how to get me weed we put a strong pause on only if it's needed until we got everything caught up giving you want to be in there and start talking about what we want to do what the other issues that was the other thing that I picked up at my home we haven't have you conversation but I think we need to wait for Larry's here to help us is only speaking for the first 45 minutes to ask Robert for and I gave you the banks already tried to which bank bank somebody the new guy I just pray that when I went to that session it was it was really interesting what they were talking about things to come out students said the priority and then the why there's always it's always about the students what is the priority and then what is a lie and so but that was a really interesting when I get there or legislative issues on the website and then the other thing that they said that we can use the management so if we want to we may not have a lot of other options that there might be some ways we have matching unique things when we come to the table I really get out of the box because we what we've been doing across the first. Just thought I'd put that cigarette in language they really are starting to the blessing of some of the legislative stuff is to give us a little bit more Liberty and talk to you a little bit right about what am I special learning checking in and checking out and being here and we're just still running like a 1960 70 organization and that's not working for today's younger generation what could it look like what what are those unique ways like we made a move we combined our sick leave instead of having his family leaving personal sick leave and what else calendar days so an interesting we go to therapy probably one of the best in the state he also understands that if you want to go like I never took a unpaid day. That's how they take it all the time our younger generation want different things in terms of employment and so that's that's a challenge I'm not paying good or bad the retirement one of the things that really really interested in is a student loan paid directly to your student loan we pay directly to the student loan $2,000 every year and that goes off their principal that's been a big kids coming out of college and so we're going to take a look at that and it's after 5 current status and incentivizing them so it would be really really helpful with our title teachers have therapy o l endorsement so that Bryan Adams could serve as a full-time if he doesn't have time best practices start you're going to be here for X number of years ago I just got out right pants that you can go to South Station I'm getting some more salary I know we've taken a stab like I ran that last year but they're right now telling isn't negotiations is going to be much harder because they're not in him hardest part about salaries of the can't go backwards you know we know that some people are not that we want them to go to Michelle I'm get my pay more than working with a haystack is that they deal with every single day I totally agree with that it's really coming and being creative and thinking about that and getting in the market are we actually are associate quite well when we the hardest part is we're not going to be able to compete with I struggle with the fact that you just come in and go well the problem is I have definite work here and we're on a set schedule and what say you change your 23 years ago and I'm going to bring in a brand new teacher with no experience and their negotiating table with that Master contract are there schools that are doing it they're bringing them in I haven't done that are in and I haven't we are there to Goshen I was somewhere else cuz they offered him you know I could do here they're going to they're going to pay me and so what are some of the struggles education is in that businesses can do that more so than we can requirement Michelle got them back to take the job But the teacher salary the basis for salary in the state of Iowa right now made up by the state and requirements starting pitcher 30 35 started teaching in 1994 and then the top the required minimum for the state with 18 5 the last time they change that was in 2013. 2013 cost of the average base pay. But if you have to remember do you lower your face I'm coming you got to you got a reason for all the rest it's going to be a challenge coming around and Arby's generators 30 35 weather in Vienna text Sharon Center Natural Science school that they will do apprenticeship and benefit ask for that is that we can we get reimbursed they're good parents that will make a nominal special the right legislators site that you went to
