good news I want to start a huge shout out to our outstanding directors and administrators they have worked so hard everybody including all the things that they've done but stopping to be high on Communications apparently not know what's going on I don't know what to get information or haven't gotten an email that we never had here before but I want everything for parents that are new and I never corned beef in this year so that was very helpful to me February or March 61 new students with the last Channel that I did that a while ago and he had five over the weekend so I don't know what that means but we have kids moving in and out but it's ever evolving Christmas Susan said her students on restorative I don't remember when they presented to our board they have not been selected by Fai and we just got notice they were collected by the best which is a conference that highlights of best practices across our state and today those the RJ team so it's been a great leadership wonderful implementation High School our facilities if you have a chance to walk around particularly down around the gym area Rusty and his team have been working so hard all summer July one just Shannon retired and so he's not been able to fill out I want to work on Rusty and his efforts just really need to be highlighted that I did tell everybody in that area joke wasn't really doing some of our working family so we're really proud of Tokarev another certified bus drivers so that they highlight for us the new freezer we talked about that Erin's been doing a ton of onboarding and helping her staff of training would have been particularly the legislative changes require legislative bang bang bang it's been a challenge there or cybersecurity I don't know if you've got any of those things coming out and we haven't used it yet or a pay you back but heard anything yet about people not really liking it is very different than what we used so I can attest that it's taking me a little bit to get used to be able to prove that the last meeting and on the job but you working tirelessly to get everything caught up so that hopefully very soon we can have a whole update and so I'm really excited about the improved processes that we're bringing it with her and get that back that's my shout out entire administrative Team part for me to put on on this report to you how hard they have not been working thank you everybody Bangla question, it was a meeting that I was not at and I know I just talked to Ryan about that but those really needs to be I don't know when the next meeting so that everyone will make note of their body so was that worth going to bad and you know it was another thing to remember thank you any more questions I actually think it's something that nothing other than a 30-minute just like rumor set reminder key reminder and maybe ensure all new board members have that training the more training whether that is D or if they have some training I I've done lots of meetings and I picked up a few things that I was head of the train it's important just knew where the Iowa all the highwomen when was the guy from Minnesota becomes I was just better knowing Oliver I was a little better and got super sharp I don't think it's a good it would be a good refresher or work session to have once a year just as a I think it's worth the investment and it doesn't have to be the last question training your Inc not that they're very different but will that work while we're not running music but you know I can't even bend over you're listening to it but you don't really memories because you don't never even experienced yet so when the election was in August or September if you had to at least two meetings of your belt I think that probably would have been this is something I've heard this is but I think the I learned a lot last year from a different sessions I went to but I'll send contact because I went to school to find out 101 a district meeting with Brad when I first got on the board been on for the probably been on for 2 months or 3 months I got to this summer may just be probably August and I went to one and I think it was down in Bloomfield and I went to 101 and I went to 301 because we've done a lot of stuff and finance I knew what they were talking about so the more their stuff that I hadn't learned what I had contacts or what it was about so you don't know what you don't know when you have an endometrial meeting I think I came away with that don't hit reply all maybe even more and now I feel like I mean and I'm just like but I also think I have bees work going to because you can see it's big really big the opening ceremonies are out her really cool after really cool with the I was banned from where were they from they were big names in their field really interesting or not but I mean I have to look it up I want to save this is off the cup but I don't have it handy but like 375 talking about something else or the speaker not what I was saying really expensive conference and it is one of the better ones but the reason I asked that question is it is in our word to print an operating principles to really think about how we the Lord came on that was so again you watching the 7:15 I don't want to spend too much think about something else but it does they have their webinar I got nothing right I don't know I went to want to Knoxville when I first started brat anything else questions for Marianne being on the School Board elections that link goes to our web page that has anything and everything went by a fee that you may possibly need or any of our constituents they possibly need business procedures so this isn't an action item but one of the things I kind of wanted to highlight for you is that a lot of our policy say under the direction of where the super until and it will develop seizures for blah blah blah an example of how we do that so Josh is our business office procedures that but every year when things get updated to the legislation we need to come back and update being so even the procedure not in the business office need to put together for all of our staff and the beginning of the year this is just an example of that for you so you know that work we said the policy was an example of how that might be rolled out and then what is it that we do so I thought it might be take a look at this and how we navigate be home in 28 years with Baxter eating school district for my braces I'm just bringing it back I don't recall didn't see where we actually have the agreement from them uploaded so we have shared agreement I've been out more than ever is important that there are no insurance. Are they are Damon was helping us what's the temperature on the 28th agreement with Urbandale Kearney School District for work for us to remember is we do get sharing in settings for this so that's why you trying to get a huge coffee table for us and they are not turning his benefits what is the sharing number one a dollar an hour reduce leg cramps in an hour I think I answered that at that level and we will maintain going evening experience so he's working for more than one day at this time we also are looking at bringing in a consultant like Ray was a consultant come in and I really want have all our bank rocks looked at from last August forward and so I feel really excited if I sit here that we're going to get you know the last three years previous to hear everything caught up and cleaned out make sure things are play crackling we had a lot of money in the bag and remember we started with categorical funds it's showing High I don't think it's that we haven't put them down I don't know that they got coded right cuz I'm going to bring it in so hopefully by the information we got last week was 3613 an hour 20 hours a week 8 hours a week so 3 hours a day I mean hopefully our hope is by September this chill out spare time driving over and drive stop biting someone Nissan of view you know he's so all right and the 2018 agreement is until such time as we hire another person and that was set up intentional when I sat down with Rosalina right and we're like now we're in this agreement and we're kind of stuck where every 3 months we can see where we're at with the hiring we want to extend it another 3 months that gives you plenty of time to transition someone new to the position you'll have that extra support so we're not bringing someone in and then having them change all the prophecies and change everything upside down you know what why we did it intentionally we're behind and we need to see her and howl and we need a full-time as b o l a the catch up when you're in a rush when you're looking at her you know do we still have someone here on that doing that is that one a long turn forecast Frontline so prior to my arrival I use forecast5 which is the same thing the other contractors are using that came from and that prior to when I came that was not renewed and so we haven't had it since I've been here Brandy in Urbandale in Winterset and other school districts around they now we're using both is this item School finance and forecast 54 KENS5 is expended but it also allows you to do lots of deep an owl it allows you to view a lot more precise or caffeine and so do the all the complexities of school finance that the money the changes in enrollment that we're going to have counter hennything is hiring staff now we're having a fire at a higher rate I really do believe that we need to go back to having both us and work at 5 as a school Jessie when Brad was here you were able to get to her report from forecast by I think that we did that our board meetings and we be able to show you the able to drop down and analyze it for you it's also actual what many people don't understand that I cannot log into my food that I we don't have a bank account I don't work at 5 and give me a tool that I can buy and it pulled me information from 02382 what are early childhood spending look like tell me how is what our expenditures I can drop that in and I can see that many cuz I can't log on to so I am requesting approval for Frontline for cats by what's considered will last for $100 w w w yeah I bet you your contract he looks like she can draw back and that we would you another year for sure 2 years and see where we're at prorated a bit my home baseball field research we presented a list of items and we have also presented to the board we did a station with that all that was done so we actually had a conversation last bring about moving it to the board and the general consensus was that was a recommendation to the board formally but the way things were there however the servicing of both Fields were in terrible condition to the point where it really was not very safe let's bring before the season Rusty had World filled with that we were very fortunate to have the softball field able to be fixed quickly and at a minimal cost however the baseball field was in much worse shape so this is something I personally feel like it's a thank you for our students playing on the surface it needs attention I put in there that yes 40 Master planning team would like to take a look at a comprehensive directions to the baseball field that would include light concrete for handicapped accessibility scoreboard we are asking the company that could do the baseball field resurfacing is available at the end of September and approved by anybody needs to start the season question is can we afford a horse but put down below and I put the documentation on 8:15 I received our stay there that I received there for you so what's up Iowa Department of Revenue does it that they send the Excel spreadsheet out if we go off of a factor from last year if it an accident now we don't get any sales we will get it 1272000. It comes every month from last year also I took information from a pretty presentation we've had from that alessi remember when that came in and he was talking to us about increasing our voted couple the previous we ever brought it about 42,000 little bit more but that's with double that that amount would double but I also need the board members to realizes the $484,000 machine is based on the 2021 property valuations and I don't know about you but property valuations that I'm so coming in for an automatic not spoke to him I'd like him to come back in and give us Lovett property valuation so that information come up that will change but overall our boys couple and state funds that are not just for facilities they have to be used for technology and Rehabilitation we are anticipating for fiscal year 2024 that this year to be 1.7 million dollars so to answer your question and I have 165,000 yes yes very much so what about the roofing project at the high school that is in the works rusty working on that now but we have to have an architect we've got to get all the things done before that comes to a board if we are able to get that in front of the board that's a project we won't pay for until 2025 that's not really a factor here because there's no way we could ever get a roof done by then keep working on that right now with Mark one that's an expensive project is going to have to go to bed. There's a lot of steps to that before it gets. Department of planning now things are on tables part 6 we did our due diligence we looked at electric buying land and this is just the first step even if we just do the else huge. where you going to court without an Arbor Nursing Facility most of us all the feels all their Arenas so I can figure out a good way to have a nice plating I think we're done. We're done the right thing and it looked at it pretty thoroughly a plan only question I already warned arrested I was going to ask kind of money that it's done name info exactly the seeding and the fertilizer and the weed control in the in the plugging and all of the all of the maintenance kind of things it's not the it's not the mowing the grass and the day-to-day take care of it during the season thing I needed to get that straight to that still fall for it all Big Al Florian Ryan looked at it when you go over there at the middle school is out there but it is a disgrace right now I mean it is the holy building week for the weeds growing everywhere Planet Money we will all the weeds in the I think I'm going over to her safety issues really love it it is rancid bruising and you have to have enough Bluegrass and queen to fill in and you or you have local and that won't happen again so does that mean that was his problem forgot to get it back to him. To get it back to good right back to where we where we keep the grass. So down below at the same he come by today but I mean we go to the public and would say we need mode this money this tax reform management so we can buy bus week in technology and things like that and for the Ballast Point Beer Facebook and does this affect the comprehensive plan it would bring it on down the line you wanted to redo Wyatt and redo the dugouts and it's not the other is it going to really bothers me to do a project at 1 a.m. do you put something in her to go ahead and do the rest there are no competing Bill contractors call just probably in the video Iowa Cubs Master Sidious what about you talk about the elementary school. well that's what we talked about moving the baseball field so we still are going looking improvements in playground but they can't go to baseball game do the baseball field do they run out of room over there with that by leaving the baseball field in Prairie City which is what I heard people wanted to do I said they would be nice so you can watch it does limit you expanding playgrounds and what not approved see you then I can't sit anywhere is minor standard but it's going to give up over here a different location in our current look for that person is not an option is my understanding was really cute and we have to go in Packard residents along the end you have to get some approval it would really really mean if it all in there there wouldn't be a lot of space there is an option to Boost cell phone field / 164 $5,000 makes you sit up straight wait till you see the cost of moving an entire field so if you want as a lot of other projects that we need to do the world that you can gather but this is the way that we invest in Korean I have something very nice and we have the softball field here this field need improvements in terms of lights and all the things but this is the most important way to get it improved while we are still tending to some of the other projects that we still have to do to your point dog the voting public funds were their sons in how I look at it is fun to improve our district does it matter what we picked and we we labeled we listed off our priorities what the priorities of these are the things we need to talk in person to level up some of our facilities that need help disability right now that needs the most of our external facilities at least in my what I feel like I've been in this business going to pay us back some dividends till we make further decisions down the road which which are probably anywhere from five to ten years out and so we can't we can't stall out doing other things is it semantic switch it's very important but it seems to be a small percentage of that deal by either that or we aren't dating 70501 are you currently looked it up read a certain viability I need just from the are we liable they probably but I know Florida first thing I would say to you be liable for that I mean the other things are kind of them then why are you been doing a lot of money baseball fields in the conference you can probably say artist want to be worse but other than that no back in the spring when we talked about this. On the baseball field what did you contact I think that you're alright request for proposal or are they used and received prior to board approval process so what if you can see that the petitioner business the contractor not sure because we did I just pulled up our go to couple weeks but if I knew what your dressing out of all the people about that and get some I think it's better if her clients and I think the really nice for the found something vocational education should you get on real quick show they were doing those things and I have my reasons as well I've been looking at them what do you want the same account reconsideration humidity board generally thought processes superintendent protection policies the 605 series so I had sent out emails to board members and the district leadership team to say give me some names for community community member because that's what I do for the school bruising is give me some names of people that you know I'm even though I've just been here a lot of people I don't know. Really background don't know and so I have got a list of approximately probably 9 or 10 maybe just start at the top the top names are the ones approve approve just similar to Sia that you've done can I put the information down below from the policy leaving back I know one of these people and we do have this is going to be hot topic that is healing so I really hope we don't do anything about it Anna Molly Roloff Waterbury City there Donna said no people I don't know but it does we will you've named and then would find out the shower to find out and then go from there pick from that list instead of why Justice Crew freak on or ten people own you gave me a name and you have they are you willing to do I called I mean these are people I went across to listen to pay these do the name the first people that responded to my email these are the people not you all have any you got other names did you did you reach out and come I hear the names live in Rochelle mixture of pricing in Monroe and I believe these are all pretty city so do you want to load it with all this isn't what I thought Molly Ivins right by Jarell right I mean that's that's fine just bisaya I were named to the board and the board approves of it I don't have any skin in the game over the top three that's the board should I just make sure who you appoint those that you wanted them and they're willing to serve right now right yeah and then I called about this or whatever and we could go up to 8 the process that you I don't anymore we went through the process of but yeah if you we are supposed to go we were told as have this ready before school starts because that could happen sooner than later if you want a table if you can table but and reach out to people and bring the name they were people that I just had gotten right away when you got a name and I called him to see if they'd be willing to her do we need to Iran I mean this is a totally different thing that no one else is dealing with people complaining what is this got to do with Iowa Code do I mean how was it working with the new Iowa covid-19 how does that work are they responsible that they think shouldn't be in there or I don't know where does that committee fall for that legislators crap that a recent policy from the car so we just approved 60503 updated from a code revisions so if you read the regulations and I'll be that is that facing is D recommendation the legislative the code we updated our policy to that so we can go over those that articulates the process so is part of the regulation that have a committee in place part of the regulation listing of the convenience please in motion table on the ground right now here so just so I'm clear between now and then or never to reach out you will contact people can you restart the first year sure are you asking me to do that that's when you started I think that's alright I will do that I will bring you down all of the names and then you want to go down there and pick you up from there and we never wassaic I guess the question becomes did you put names forward that you think remember Stevie Nicks we never had two different names I guess I just feel like we should be let me know. That was the question that I asked as to why there was an injection for the names that were here is there going to be a Kingsman 3 could have been that they simply didn't want to say no so they chose is the other issue okay well sent something Rivertree got the names up that it did it cuz I know it's a comfortable to say to someone he's got to want to be on this committee but by the ones I mean it's always work if you want it done different I'm willing to do it but I just want you to be clear that in September all the names will come back to you but I got names from three board members I sent four name you said what did I reach out though so I didn't either did you ask before I did not I can either I bet that I guess we didn't really know the process I just that name I don't know that the board just want to know boat over the 8-ball on my 14 me neither I'm happy to make a phone call but again I don't know what you're all looking for so I picked you that I thought were knowledgeable that would be unbiased and neutral Arbiters with a question on the table I thought that was what the important piece of this puzzle was political opinion Appleton no that's what I heard is he won the Pinnacle OU point then we're liable for braces daneliya .3 Community rescue Reef Play Scream so that's why I didn't have company last year we had a process to put why I can't recommend anybody play about who's on the penny I just don't think anybody has anybody named Michelle saying appreciate it don't know how is that another bad luck though I mean she said yes I keep calling but then you're going to have some people on here that you're going to have to bring my political background and go I think that looks appropriate that is very upset when they bring mini work together with something table they recommend you what they think right don't ever write to call in there be consideration committee which what this process was tonight Foody Goody streaming we are going to seeking approval to charge people to watch our events we can speak more about it but during probate a lot of school district it does have a cost to the district expensive you know we've requested our ticket prices the entry we are asking to charge for huddle that's similar to an in-person we wants people to come to her game but we fully recognize that they're not able to it's important the board knows that this is not expensive and when people aren't of the games and they're at home and they're live streaming we get no revenue and there's no inspections and so many school districts across-the-board Jeremy did a great job of asking of what other districts are doing and so the recommendation is $10 for a single game a monthly access to be $50 that would be for someone who has kids baby only play and then in your Early Access to all of our Lives getting would be $150 percent of the profits from that so we are asking for approval to charge your phone in rice for Hawaii Street so does this replace the YouTube channel ban on Friday on Friday for a scrimmage we had it on this we're going to be like the way from YouTube on regardless if we can do but I'm the coward scoreboard in the that picture with the scoreboard and and with this whole TV we can put a different scoreboard out there that someone like you see on TV and game down the road which is more looking right now I'm doing that I wouldn't price on that happen is I don't I don't know how come we are less we have to find somebody to do it with your boo is struggling more but you can actually have a completely different person and so we're going to transition out of TV place now I guess it's just a matter of charge work his reputation how much does it cost now I'm hearing there just an addition that we get within our whole trip yeah that means that something I mean to break it off season for the leader and to be honest with you Friday we were more after battle what might make more sense in the prices I feel are are appropriate from what we're doing with our ticket sales as well and I was looking at her family in our adult mass is 90. you can buy on entire year for a hundred fifty bucks you and your family can sit there and you can buy popcorn from Ivy and you guys could be said right so is there a different price our business is advertising corner or in a week to get you know hopefully if I went out there to Heidi Davis you know that I big sponsorship then we would I be in 08 board agenda public participation participation policy angel I wasn't at the board meeting but Pleasant went over that it was some changes you change the 3-minute, 25 and from third-party minutes and 60 I was asked by Ryan to bring that back talk about it this is just yours in about releases its report on us and not public policy that sets the approved on the next Bachelorette talk to us about the present circumstances. names of Mount Baker and the tollway on time and 30 like Leslie said we have a big discussion for the meeting we can move it more than I do we can make it last so I think you should go back to the 3:30 and if we know we've got biggest US when she did we can make a 16-5 but yeah I think it needs to be on the truck and just where we realize that I am the same and everything else can't find someone in writing if someone starts talking about something. there's a problem with the other districts with about random stuff this time all we're doing is moving into the front of the meeting we're just looking for a motion to or Dulce review but you wanted to revisit the next meeting 505 graduation requirements and I believe if I'm not mistaken it was the financial literacy and really the only changes and Ematic from the state in the past financial literacy with a sniper class no longer has to be a separate class of additional graduation requirements financial literacy so if you look at the policy that we have up there financial literacy is 6 credits in the past it was 6 credit financial literacy + 7 credit financial literacy required by state in the core content standards be embedded into different wherever the classes fall but it no longer has to be a standalone credit for graduation PJ masks keeping in a class and it's part of the math part of the mathematics instead of somewhere else and then the other one in time so I just want to make sure I get it straight so previously we had three it was moved to 5 and 60 now you want to move it back to 3 in 30 but I'm here we can always add a flag being flown it was only in the gym and it is now buying from the standard on the football field I noticed it on my way with the ladies. This is a bonus bonus here but every flag in front of our building should have no flags that you have to look like flying right we actually had a greasy just have to like. I think what we heard that night that was about I noticed that on my way home tonight what's the temperature, please Oceanside landfill correct me if I'm wrong cell we are now completely caught up with doing all right I don't have a lot I just put in a new teachers by their administrators here in a hot minute and important I wasn't quite sure where 56 clarification on work session starting time and then I have homecoming week or two before beating the eye of the conference we talked about and then what is the start time now for work session you know we have all the 209 says the proposed to maintain our community for the year call Windstream. so without further Ado there's nothing else will introduce him to our surrounding us right killer prom she will be joining us in our apartment and still be heading on our English 9/11 and then for the last 5 years I was in Nashville hello lady said it's only like 40 minutes away I also assume you in and it's my first year teaching fun to break that is nice mobile I miss feeling the pull up with for my garage January in the meantime misses car is going to be play I graduated from year 2019 I'm going to graduate and then I was super excited to welcome I'm just a thought I was here for six years and then like I got interesting opportunity a lot of traveling a year and did that and during that time on it.
