Well, the reason why I asked Shannon to run this meeting again, it's because I've had had COVID and I was treated for it with Paxlovid and the Paxlovid did great and in five days it was gone and I was doing well and all of a sudden I got slammed again with a cough that I liked of which I've never seen in my entire 69 years of life on earth and I didn't stop coughing I coughed through three nights of sleep, I didn't sleep at all and I just can't believe it. Today I went to the walk in clinic and I got prescription for pregnant zone I said to the nurse there I said I want pregnant zone I want something to knock this out so she agreed to give me that and she gave me an inhaler, albutarol and I also have these little pearls they call them
I forgot the first name of the pearls and you can take those and I taking another inhaler and adverer which is a steroid and I'm also taking the medication for the cough that is I'm trying to get this out of me. I'm trying to get this out of me, but right now I feel really still not and having those what I would do to this poor meeting. I want to put it in hands as I can handle it. Let's all rise and say like allegiance and be fun. July of the United States of America and two of the republics, which stands for one nation under
God, indivisible with liberty and justice for them. Okay welcome everyone and I'm just going to look along the screen to ask people if they want to comment. Welcome, how are you? Kelly and Matt, do you want to make me come in? Not at this time, thank you Shannon. Okay, thank you for being here. Doris, you all will not owe me this. Would you like to make a comment? Well, and that's not just everyone, thank you. When I don't just give you a sign of the moment, oh no, would you like to make a comment? No, thank you. Aaron Boris. I'll set thank you. Thank you, Aaron, thanks for being here. Shirley, don't ask role. Nope, no, thank you. Okay, thank you. Mrs. Hopkins. All set, thank you. Thank you. We are in theory. No, thank you. Okay, thanks, Brad. Christina Frazier. I'm all set, thank you. Thank you, Christina. And everyone, we have a new
teacher here in public, so I'd like to welcome Jenna Goldrich. And Jen, would you like to make any comments? That is a good start. Okay. Okay, thanks everyone, so I believe I got everyone. And we're on to communications. I'm going to ask that the emails between Eric and I and I apologize, I did not check if you all were copied on the email. Were you copied? Okay, great. Okay, so I'm going to ask that the email that I sent to Eric and it gives two responses. We have two to the minutes. I will note for the minutes that we received an email from Eric this morning, indicating the door to selectman, had approved how funding for the gaming that we've been going back to excuse me. The crack ceiling, we've been going back on for many months now. The door to selectman, the quote that came in was about $24,000, but because they have to contract with any kind of paper to come in for a 24 hour period, they're going to start off in the upper parking lot and the basketball court, proceed then to a lower parking lot. And if they have time,
proceed to the town hall and then the fire department. So that's what's going to happen. The worst-electman approved it last night. And when we get to that part of the minutes, we'll take whatever action we want to take. I mean, the last also part is that you know, great from that as well as we want to do. Oh, so last will include hearing how also. Right, I just forwarded the email that Eric had sent to you and me this morning, just saying that the board of selectman approved it, that he signed the contract and that he's hopeful that it can be done, you know, the season, you know, given the time frame and that they're asking for it to be done on a Saturday. Thank you for mentioning that, yeah. So we'll just include Eric's email if you were for me that, but yeah, I guess the Cruxiel material doesn't spell so great, so they're trying to get it done on the Saturday, which I thought was very accommodating. And it's the last point it out. Eric's already signed the contract. So now we'll get it done, as soon as possible. Yeah, I'll send that to you. The second communication is we received
Chris Bernard's resignation. It was dated yesterday. I'll make that up for the record also. I don't know if it's been sent to our town that that was forwarded from the South Park. So thank you very much. See, I didn't look at it before. What? Okay, so that was dated October 11th, so he is not missing one tonight's meeting. Okay, that's all I have for communication, stealer, anybody else? Valerie, do any communications? Okay, great. Can we get to a approval of the minutes, do I have any motion with, oh, with regard to the regular meeting of September 13th, 2023? Thanks, Steve, do I have a second? Thank you, Kaley. Madam board clerk, the only question I have, I believe because we need to signify who voted for what? That we need to include who are staying in the voting. Is that your understanding? Can you hear me? Yes, I can. I can put that in there in the future. I don't know who abstained from the last votes, but I'm happy to put it in the future if that's what you
would like. Great, I think it needs to be in there. I mean, when it's a unanimous vote, great, but otherwise, the record is supposed to reflect exactly who voted for what? And I have who abstained the last time, so I'll provide you with that information because I have one other amendment for that age three part of the policy changes we entered into. Yeah, it's very confusing. One is, leave it's 1000. Then we had 11 10, yeah, 1000, then 11 10, then 11.1. Okay, 11 12. So if you could just make those changes and then I'll tell you what's staying, I'll have it all set for the record. And then I will just ask going forward when we take votes if we can verbalize who abstains. Absolutely. By name, that way, I can mark that down and make sure that I put that in the minutes.
So Richard Don, thank you. Thank you. Does anybody else have any changes or any discussion? Okay, all in favor of accepting the regular meeting minutes. Was it number 14? Say aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Okay, that's unanimous. So it's 6-0-0. Do I have motion recorded in the special meeting minutes about total report? I'll make a motion to accept the minutes from a special meeting of total fourth, would it, with an amendment, please? Well, I'd like to meet you to a jury. Can you second? Is that okay? Sure, I'll second. Great. You want to make sure on the secretary instead of the treasure? Right, I didn't know you were holding all the cash. Well, yeah, I have a couple of myself. Go ahead, Steve. Just over impertinent, it was not regular for meeting special.
Yep, I had an early call. Sorry, sorry. And also we need to know that Chris Bernard was absent because he was still a member at that time. Yeah, just if you could add in the dollar signs before the 8700, I don't think it's just picky. I know, but on the second page, on the first page, too, there's more in here. Okay. One on the second page, 114, 160,000. And then there's one totally down to the 8700. Okay, great. First page, I think it says it should say we must get VOF approval annually instead of approved annually. And now the second page and the first in the third thing, it should say the VOF and their main meetings that are building. Hey, that's all I have to say about this is in that section. Yes, so yeah, where they open, sorry, I proved to be open by the VOF as the main meeting after adoption of policy, I don't know exactly how to say that, but it's very
relevant in the next that they didn't want to open the account until after the four finance and the four of education had it read on the policy course. So we don't have a policy around so we don't say after the adoption of a joint policy, I think it's okay. Or we could also just say see the minutes of the board if we could just include the board of finance minutes, right, include the minutes, which would be more or less, yeah, I think that would be better, so you don't try to describe it, see you in the minutes. I think it was maybe 20 years ago, it went out from whatever meeting it was. Now we have to go back to another one. Okay, so another thing. Consistency thing. This whole paragraph we go from S was pointed out this to you, we say Kate said, I mean, I think it needs to be, it should be S loud and S loud and S loud. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. It's a new one about college. Thank you, the secretary should do the minutes and now on instead of so many else, but thank you for doing them. That was a busy meeting. And if we can just maybe put some, but, and that's what, after the presidency is a area and maybe just an indication there, so it, it doesn't mean a minute to figure out how that would be. I'll do that in the fifth and seven months and you know what I'm saying, yeah, I'm reading it,
just and that there were two questions. Absolutely, absolutely. Yeah, I'm like in terms, we go to a little fact this six months. That's that's why. I mean, the summary, we are reading it and I understand what we're saying, but that's why we don't know. That's why we've created minutes. Yep. So last, or Jerry, do you have anything more? That's it for me. Your mood is less. Do you have anything more? I'm good. Okay, great. So all in favor of adopting these minutes, say aye. All right, aye, aye, six zero zero done. Great, thanks. Okay, we're at the opportunity to add the new agenda items. I believe Valerie, you and Katie, we might have to do something about peaceful. Did you want to add that to personal activities? Okay, just information is great, right? What was that? Valerie's going to do it in her superintendents report. All right, okay. You're learning me prior to the meeting, so she's just going to do it in her report. Um, I do want to add, um, I don't know that we even need to add it as an agenda item. If Jerry, um, is not able to be at tomorrow's meeting in person, um, we just need to talk about, I talked with Kate Morrissey. I think we could just face time with Jerry, but I just wanted to add that in just to make sure it's recognized. Oh, my God. So we can be put that in. Yeah, 70 or 70, 1a. Yeah, yep. Does anybody else have anything to add or delete?
Okay, hearing nothing, um, celebrations, happy birthday to Jerry, wish you were here. Thank you. I wish I were there, too. I'd rather be there than here. Okay. And no offense. Okay. Well, you two cupcakes in your honor, and I'll make a delivery. Anybody else else? Okay, thank you for doing that. Questions? Anything. I will just add on our notes. Take enough. Uh, couple months by fall of the night, so I did want to formally take this award. The general voter card. You're two, three, two, three, two, three, two and all. There's a word in October now. Take that thing out of the room. You have met this to get hit, but we're happy to have her here. And she had a great start to me. Oh, yeah. Thank you. Any other celebrations? Okay, chair persons or report, um, Jerry and I communicated. He did not have anything that needed to be discussed tonight. And his report, the only thing that all say is just to know, we're not going to discuss any new policies or revisions tonight, um, just coordinating with Jerry and we're Valerie. We felt with the agenda and certainly preparation for tomorrow night was already a full week. So we didn't want to go on and on in a meeting tonight. That's good too.
Can I just ask you a question on these policies? Oh, yeah. Oh, thank you. Yeah. So I handed out, um, I had printed up all of the changes that we included last time. So we all have a copy of the final policy and they're now going to be updated. Um, I gave them to Diane, who did the printing off. And so they're now going to be put in a policy manual. I don't think I haven't confirmed it. Um, we're just going to have to pay attention to how quickly it goes on to the website, because we want to make a PDF. And we want to all be consistent. So I don't know how that's going to proceed. Did you have, did you have a question? You're asking me a question. Yes, and we get up there and that's it. And know that these are not going to do it. I think you better come on. Yep. Multiple policies floating around about the people here. I mean, we shouldn't make that. It says this year, but somebody grabbed it off the website and says a different day. We want to do these updated to me, Bob. All four of you with Diane about that. And see you back in Apple. That's all I have. Madam Superintendent. Hey, and you're not too much. Uh, let's see. So, um, as you guys know, Joe Murphy did come for our event that was here. Um, recognizing the, uh, communities that received the, um, brands that went well. Um, it's led to conversations with other districts who can stand past it. I'm about moving forward with some collaboration, um, you know, what kind of made it with uh, to tomorrow. I present that the performance matters for that we can either stay the part that they're adding
our first, um, that is, um, or summer grants. So, um, as I said, that would be back in my company. Um, the two communities that I do that I have shared, um, I'll share with the community. Um, as they see that is I did just also finish, uh, the statewide teacher of the year that is announced. I'm sure, um, the in October of the 20th. The state will announce it, um, but, um, it was, uh, great experience as always. Um, got a lot of networking feedback for what I see for a lot of districts, which is always great. Uh, able to bring that, um, and as you know, then the other one will be the November conference that most of you guys are going to attend as well. Um, two new things from last month that aren't just new updates, um, the bus contract with
Gapo is, um, right now, you know, in the stages of us, you know, kind of renegotiating that. Um, we do share that contract with Marvaro, with Hebrew and with my um, um, each child does have a couple of, of differences, uh, for example, in Hebrew, um, there are the only one that has been announced last month, so there's something to be said for that. Uh, it's going well. So far, the negotiations, um, but there are different concerns, uh, you know, one of the entities, um, does have more concerns about making sure than we are, did you be a stronger and making sure that parents have access in the real time to seeing the route on a nap. So we have to talk to them about what they're willing to do, not do, um, what the bus point is, um, we do it on some buses instead of all of the buses. Um, so we also have to
look at things like performance bonds, um, uh, information and what we have to pay with that. So we're still in the process of negotiating and with them, the extension would be, uh, five years, um, that is what you're talking in any other potential or is that, or just the so that's what we're going to be. Or we would have as a unit, and yet we're only one of the units, um, these four, we would do that. We would first look and see which is where we are announced for some of them. Yeah, the value made a, um, what they could do for us, um, because we need to know from our counterparts at all the other towns. That's, um, when you are going to really appreciate right now with the shortage of drivers and shortage, you know, and long routes and things that we're getting responses, uh, as a whole, and districts of general not us. And so, um, that's very difficult to cross the state when everybody is negotiating. So I will update you as soon as we know we're going with it, um, because once they do give us what the superintendents see as a potential proposal, then if we'll talk to the boards, then we'll say let's talk about what this is really about. Um, so, and we are as small as entity. So, uh, I intend, obviously, we will
to do, to do what's best for our region, which also made that decision, us to do contract with them. Um, the other news name, which is a good problem to have in a lot of ways, is, um, we have lots of oriented workshops, and, um, small ones. And so, um, you know, I think you know, I might have thought I was crazy when I said my goal, and that was, but hopefully, but if we get into the next year, it must be back up in 25 minutes, um, and we're getting there. Um, but what we were pleasantly surprised to find out, uh, was that, um, through work of the three, there was a lot of notified us as to when children's work days are, um, that we'll be getting, um, some more pre-schoolers that will be coming in during the course of the year. And that's wonderful. The
downside to that for us right now is we're at that line where we can't take them all into existing looks that we have. And so, tell me what I started to talk about, um, what we'll do is we have, um, obviously, um, you know, what we'll see at night, we'll have, um, the kids we can have in one moment. So, we definitely know that we need something. And at first when we thought we were talking about maybe two or three kids, um, we thought, well, we could always go to the route that normal has, which is, um, to have kids, uh, lose trouble and come in and receive just after it starts. Um, and, um, and as we talked about that, and we started to realize, you know, um, is that the best picture of those kids that only offered them at day, um, and, um, other two programs are providing a portion of well, and today, um, it's our goal. Uh, these are antibiotics. So, you know, we kind of scratch that, so let's see where we're going with that. Where we are right now is, um, to look at, uh, it all day program and see if we can fill it with, um, because remember, it's not in our
budget. It is completely funded by the readiness, by smart start, by tuition. So, um, that's the looks, because we don't have to do anything right now, but, uh, but then for us, we'll look and see if, um, and this is where we kind of held a rock for a little bit, so today, and we're like, okay, now we can let that run out, um, we didn't know. We opened up a full third room or even put out an advertisement for it. We can be able to fill the third full room. It looks like if we go that route, that we would be able to, because there are, um, 20 kids on a way, we're sending a break. Okay, I was going to say, I guess, from just like, when a team gets a lot of people, we bring that, like, didn't get into it before. Right. And remember, to remember that we have all talked about this, you know, the potential connection to your, um, the kindergarten change that, um, a lot of those kids getting there waiting
was this year, there's to be even four kids on a way to the next year. So, um, you know, we are now 100% confident that we're going to be getting, um, kids, uh, you know, to fill those spots. And so, um, then we said, well, okay, what if it winds up really tight financially with, because you know, we are also in the cheapest of the rates for full time. We're right, you're going to be doing this, um, and so we're like, okay, you know, will it still sustain itself with that third room? We think it will, because, um, what we're talking about that is, if we went, let's say we went half day, then only next, the mandated legal requirements for service hours. Children that need special education services, we're looking great. Children that need on speech, and we said, we're just going to do Apple, like Marvel, which is going to be going to make for their services. You don't have to hire a half week each, you come in. And then you're doing it with zero tuition, because you can bring them in just from their services for half day, there is no tuition for you. So, right, it's great for services. So, then we would have no ability
to say, okay, how are we going to make this self-sufficient. So, that definitely would have been something that would have taxed, or, um, right at the general level. We'll keep her in a share with you guys, who's on our way, like, are you allowed to be child characteristics of those? So, if I have to get ready to do that, I think they're a fire gesture, I don't know. Okay, that, I mean, that would be awesome. Yeah, yeah, that should be cool. So, um, in just 48 hours of us looking at seeing and telling me some falls to our local and over of families, especially those families that had been dedicated at the beginning for half a week and another year. She's reached back out to another, and they said, oh, yeah, sure. That was so good. So, um, you know, and, um, so, maybe she should fall just before that time. But every day, in touch with her, they're like, absolutely, you can have my time. So, um, it isn't something that we can do tomorrow. Obviously, it's, you know, something that we would have to look into next month. Um, but she'd also put out, uh, you know, um, uh, and can't anticipate it. We would be interested for a teacher, because that's the other thing. Yes, um, I don't want to just fill it with whoever you can find. Hey, stop. Nothing. And that's the other factor in us saying, should be trying to do a have their whole day gets, you know, not that anybody not qualified would put it for a half day, but to have somebody who need a potential position that they're
right now to come here, they're not going to do it for a half day, so then we would be ready. So if we want the A team, which we have the A team here, we know that. If we want the A team, we have to make that, you know, so we've been working with Jenny, who's the interventionist in the preschool now, we work with, you know, how we conversations with the staff that would be involved in this and seeing to make sure. So, you know, that is analyzing, you know, the higher parent. So, actually, we wouldn't because what's we kind of realized, we're kind of stuck between the rock and the heart place and have to go full time instead of part time dead. What happens then is the, there is, for other purposes, for specific means, you know, in the rooms, there is a pair of, obviously, each preschool, where there is a pair right now that floats between them for specific means. And if there is a slight shift,
because we have third one that's open and full, that third person could be by the board being in there. So, we don't have to worry about that. So, it's been a lot of time and effort for us to figure out how we do this. And we've been pleasantly surprised that a fair number of the, the endover families who said, no, thanks a wait till next year have now expressed interest in we're going to have a third one. So, you know, I think it's, it's great. And, you know, it allows us to keep our, you know, high quality program and start with those students that we found out, you know, would be probably the other good news is with those, um, worked in three students who doesn't have earned things, they're not all coming in of them. So, um, you know, there's, like, November birthday, December birthday, January, where they sell, it's not as onslaught of, um, you know, new little ones coming in that have never been here before, like the first day of school would be, with pretty schools. So, that would be really, really good opportunity too. And that allowed T.L.R. and Jenny work with you out of the new
course this, um, that's in there in the care professional, um, to be able to kind of, you know, this is hard. So, we need to get them. So, so that's what we are with that two question, help, um, how many kids will you consider, uh, we'll be creating a third class room? You can't go over 18, um, when we have the team in there, um, that's it for, because remember, we have, um, almost three, three year olds, four year olds, and I'll stop. And you're out of the space unit, that would be great. Let me do by now at 17 and 17. So, you've got two kids. Yeah. Well, I would just ask you because I heard 20 on the waiting list of you, and I was like, well, wait a minute. You know, it sounds, you know, I would talk a bit here to talk about those things on it, but then I'll see you often that we're in terms of the numbers. Right.
Being around that 15 that you're smart. Then sound like a big shift. There's a lot 15, 17, but I'm going to, you're looking for a little bit of it, you know, you're having a little bit of it. And to get that call, if you have two rooms of 18, and you get a call, some rooms of three that says, you have one coming for it. Wait, look at that. You're all of it. Do you have a little space right here? Yeah, I have to. So, that's why that show. I have at 17, 17, that there's one opening of the locker, or when we have something that we've been in, or yeah, so it's a good part to have. So how many, how many kids from birth, three of you guys have that need to enter for five years? Five, okay.
Yeah, well, then we've been made a work. Okay. I just have, I have a quick question, or can we, and I know you, you have to hire a new teacher correct for this? Yes. So, I'm just curious if we can reach out to any of those student teachers that we had that graduated. I don't know if they would be interested, or if they've already got in jobs. Um, one student teacher from last year. Um, or you got a job. Okay. So, oh, she's at Mrs. Pike. She's in Scotland. Yeah, it's fine. Okay. Thanks. So, um, and then the other thing is remember, unlike, um, the regular elementary surf, like one six, like I have, they need our own childhood. Okay. Okay. Um, the chances are if they were early childhood, so last, they student taught in a free school for kindergarten, not in one of the higher grades. So we don't ever get them here. And once last, I'm going to
at a free school student teacher. There was even a free school style. I'll get some some first grade. So that sort of is prepared through grade three. Um, but we just realized more interns. So right, students who take this here, they're in your office. Just to, yeah, just to see Justin. Yeah, are there any others who are in a teacher that have that certification besides Jenny and her own. Is there a car? Okay. Okay. So I'm going to give you the last six. Second question. Um, when do you anticipate, um, being able to get everything together to be able to open the class? Because I heard we have a November possibility. Um, we're not going to open a class. We're just one kid. We can add in the existing class. But you have any,
no van for less than any time. Yeah, I mean, you know, as the hiring teacher, we only have right. Yeah, we've found out for the candidates at some time. So it's a bit showering. So it is. And see, you know, we don't have a hard start dating at most that are in the only. I just, they're in a fairer way. We have that right now. I would just let it were an estimate. But so. Right. And the hard, the hardest part also is making the room. Right. You know, you know, all of the school readiness rules and all of the OEC rules that room has to look the way the other two rules up. And so that's going to be a challenge to tell us more about that. I'm like, I thought, I mean, I took my life. I think you guys have come in.
So you guys will hire the right person and be able to figure out that side of it. There's going to be cost neutral and what you can believe or about what is going to be cost. Right now, we're saying we're anticipating it to be cost neutral. The only difficulty in that would be, should that happen? When we wind up having to come back later on and I'll tell you why we would have to come back later on. If we get closer to the end of the year, we realize it's not cost neutral. And since this was in, I mean, remember, preschool is not in our budget because it takes care of itself. So if we ran to a problem at the end of the year, this would have to be something then that we would have to come back and say, we wound up taxing our dollars short. And why did I have to go to 2% on that side? Well, because this was on a 14. 100%. But I want to know, like, I don't want to find out. Well, but here,
here's the reason why we couldn't answer that question now. As you know, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. So that's what we are looking at in terms of that, because, um, because tuition is not a step in here for every family. It's like, right, it's like, um, that could be. So we've sat down and kind of looked at this is this scenario. This is this scenario. This is this scenario. And the best case scenario is it will be because we're about any other component. I love that space scenario. Right. Now we're working before. Is you can get this for me. Oh, yeah. Let's not get it. Let's not get it. Let's not get it. It's long. Well, if you guys are going to know who you have to do, but for example, we're both worst cases. This is what the cost is going to be is what we should think which should be. And also in that this is what it would be if we were to go to the monroma, which would have been their
zero tuition on a half day as I think to me, that's the magic number. If regardless of what it costs, it's going to probably be less than what it costs us to hire a person with zero tuition. But just having that way down. Having that way down. So we'll be able to, we'll be able to give you almost a bit of numbers as soon as those applications are complete the students. Yeah. Work. And that's so now we're in December. And we have a pretty good idea for me to over. Not like it said any June going. Well, I don't know. We'll just start talking. We'll know in December because we'll know what the case scale was for the person that was hired. So what the
expenditure is for them. And we'll know two issues. Right. So that's why right now we went, oh, this way or this way, but we'll have to get it in numbers by this time. And so that's what I think just like seeing mentioned in terms of preparing the two models. Hey, it doesn't change what we're doing for the school and what you guys are making decision might, but I think it would be that I have to have that later on. What is it? Right. This is our minimum. Just we've done that previously. We're promoting the program. Well, we're using the book that the program is. We've looked at the minimum requirements from birth to three and where we're going to be. Yep. The services we have to provide. We end up being cheaper or more cost effective to provide that service. So it's an over and. Right. And that's where we
wound up with that. So yeah, I just want to make sure we can document that for the numbers. And I have zero doubt in the administration here together to find a very person. And we'll have the academic numbers in December for you. So we, you know, to have that kind of little much here is because it is really exciting. Yeah. And in a first reason we created the three games together. So that way, you want us to do a lot of it. Well, actually two, two, six is what you're reporting for. Two new ones start on Mondays while we're too early. And then our additional three go. Thank you. Two, a week, just at least, but that will. Right. Right. And you're looking at us in the early minutes. We go back to 2018. We're already at the highest number. Yep. So we end this report. Yes. When I started 2020 on the day I started, you know, 174. Yeah. We're, you know, I mean, we're breathing. We had it to 20. You know, we're in the 12 pit. You know, we had it. Yeah. So over 8, you're. Yeah. They're. We had our cameras ready for the X-Men And the X-Men And the X-Men and the X-Men and the X-Men and it's I don't know if I can do that. Yeah. Okay. I'm going to get more. I don't know if that's it. There's anybody on any questions.
Valerie. Okay. Taylor. Hi, Sharon. So just a couple of things. Okay. We didn't have any like black. We didn't have our back to school. But then we found it. And it was a great success. We were both different. Thank you very much. Yeah. That's a good slide. You know, we don't really live in the learn. But I think we've been kind of great. And once we've got our eyes, it was a big success. Our book there did very well. So thank you, G.A. for that. And they're support. And really just kind of great for having the. I call them vendors. Yes, we can't call them. Of the tables. The people. Yeah, the fire department, all in the gym. I know they were pleased to get a little bit more traffic. And that was nice. Just to get them. And also the great event. Um, first day of our morning. Our meeting teacher and myself are going to be starting a. Um, Sunday professional development. That is part of them. One of the grants that I'm with. We need to. So right. I'm going to. I think we're in our thanks. Really journey. Um, it's a state. It's kind of a. A requirement of that. For instance. It's kind of. It's a requirement. It's a requirement. We have. Um, they want to see both about. It. We got me. Uh, that was kind of the situation. So it's a thing. But. It can. So they. I. I. I. I. I. So it. It's a. I. You know. Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um. Uh, Um, Um, Um, Uh, Um, Um, Um, So this is a new initiative we focused a lot last year we did this called the Innovation Council and focused so on instead which was great.
But the region felt like I'm more purposeful connection and conversation on myself was more wanted at this time. So we began that work and we're starting with looking at the sixth grade math transition and math that you know like transition from six to seven. And I just start from work when we do that in the coming months and then certainly I brought out that as the end of our program that was talking more about collaboration. We could be a very well just show us proud of the small bits going to be. So I'm talking to the satellite and there's a class. So everything shares on that and our teachers who might have a portrait. They're going to pick a loan and they're in the front. But they're on a team and they're a lot of the portrait. So that will be a priority that I bring to that. I think it's a little joy. And then last we are mentioned. I just wanted to bring to light that or two or six here at that could two or eight. I left today. And I'm going to do this. This one. Next year for the back to school. Is it possible that you guys can confirm with the other schools in the grand district to not have things to be at the same time. Yes, you did with the middle school. And we over look very full. We talked about that. I think I just. In my mind, the middle school and I told you I'm not saying I forget that they're not.
Yeah, so yes, we were sure it didn't affect very many people. But the few of us, we do. We did a follow-up. Yeah. For getting another out. I told. And just for the picture. Are there any things to add to your calendar. Out front. Because we're happy. So we're going to say it's with the most recent. Yes, PTA. We just met last week. Well, that's PTA respond. Okay. That won't work together. So we did. I can't even remember now. So we did the cycle. We're putting up every. That's what the PTA members did. Yeah. And who was part of the curriculum council? So it is super heavy. And then. No one counts. Oh, sorry. Oh, sorry. Oh, sorry. Oh, sorry. Oh, sorry. Oh, sorry. Oh, sorry. Yeah, sorry. Yeah. I'm not.
I'm not. I'm not. Yes. Yeah. Which was nice. So. But. Cool. So we're. We're. I know. I'm here. acabar. social notion for you, so that we all get our intellectual power to the people. There are a couple of committees that we just sunset, that just worried really appropriate around the vision level and a high school group. And so getting rid of some of those groups, there's an ending for tomorrow. We now have this one day and that. But that's so the other was not really all that productive. Sorry. Any questions? Okay. We don't have Terry here tonight through the financial work. But I imagine she shared something with Valerie. Do you have any questions? If we have any questions. Okay. Forgive me. It doesn't last before. But looking specifically under the. Object. One. Not name. There are a couple of others in specifically how we have a. Twenty two six years out. And for exactly 100% use. We've got three. I'm sorry. Where are we working for? One of nine. So I'm a school. Um, yes. That's because she needed to wait for the reimbursement. From the summer. Um, in other words. Um. You know how you guys. I think. So the difference. The difference between our rents from last year on now through is. You have to pay for stuff. And then they gave you the money back. And so there was no other place for. For our. Our summer expenses. That. So you know, it's a grant that we do with. Um, it's near where people that were utilized. Of course, that's some of the need to get over the summer for us and not cool. For example. Um, if we had. A student with a need that participated in that grant program.
And they required. Um, anything. Extra. Um, that. Yeah. I'm trying to be careful. Anything. Thanks for extra. We had to pay for that. So it's just put in there because. Yes. If that's why you're on that. I don't go away on the grant. Yes. Yes. Can I tell the grant. So that we have a free. Hundreds. Like. Yeah. What do you mean? We're excited. We're excited. We're excited. We're excited. We're excited. We're excited. We're excited. We're excited. We're excited. It was. In expense that never appear in our budget won't appear it in our budget wants that reimbursement comes in. But it had to grow someplace. That makes sense. Yeah. And the reason to. Not being very careful not to give information and certeza. Let's. But if it doesn't appear someplace. They're at the end of the year when we do our expenditure on report swarming. courts for like the FS or excess cost, she has no way to reference it. Do you know what I mean? It has to be an expense that she then can reference with like a purchase order to show that it was an excess cost expense. It's my understanding as to why she owned these. And that money has already been afrooted by the state
and that check will be in. It's not in a ready or another shoveled nation to get over actually a wide gap. Like they have approved all of our expenditures. So that $42,000 check that covered all of the expenses and our reimbursement for the full expenses that they made will be put in there. So this will be fixed next month. But I'm gonna put a note in here so that when she is back next week, I'll have for the first time you trust this next month. Okay? Yeah, I'm gonna do it. Yep, I figured that the percent use was like an auto population. It was an additive. No, I didn't go love if you could look at it. That's paid. That's paid for the cost of the population as well. If you haven't given the money, it says 120.
So it's negative in the administrative service or yeah. So we'll go about 100. Oh, I'm on the two-page document. I think that's the reserve. So let's go right here. That balance column, that balance column under 109. 109. Exactly, that's a total of two numbers. So yeah, that was the other down line over it. I think that's that auto population there. What up for Chinese rule of mine? Which makes sense? I guess my question was why didn't I, I would have assumed if our adoption was 16. I've never seen 40% use within about 300%. And the balance should have said negative or one. Yeah, yeah, four down. Right. And now, I'll talk about it. In that, we've been 18 percent. I'm not concerned in our COVID-19. We're going over our budget at the point. So it's nice to see it in front of our talk. Like it's really nice to be by it. Especially because I mean, I think to do this, but the council October, I mean, take me to November where two months later, I'm sorry about it. Yeah. So Steve, I want to your point about what I don't want that I know you guys have asked on what I would have pointed out now, or the matter, is on the speech.
If you look at speech, I'm going to find a video of one. On that news out. And I know that was in the under, I think, I'll have to get 3.20 right. One second. Or is it a three-point speech speech speech? Oh, thank you. Safe. Is it a number of physical therapy? I see. And again, a lot of those were the first time. My speech was on the very first page. Speech teacher? Oh, that's fourth down. Yeah. I'm the very top. Yeah. That's 53. Oh, right. What's the answer? 101. Oh, 101. Yeah. 20, 15, 18. That's me, it's teacher. That sounds, it's teacher. Well, that's what it says. I know. So then I look at some of the other words. Some of the other words. It's very confusing. Oh, wow. That's not easy. And it was. The main is the main is the main. The main is the main is the main.
Yeah. What's the weird balance? Could we get all that? That serves as special. Yeah. There's other special life. Like, yeah. Yeah, there's no special theater at the red line. That one is speech right. I think that one is the motion. I think that's the motion. I think that's the motion. Oh, that's a surprise. Six, 10, 21, 15. Oh, there we go. We see how that one is at one, 10. Yep. And even though it's not a lot, um, keep one thing in mind when speech teacher and supplies, that one will run up and down because we build half of everything to Scotland because we share a speech teacher. So do you know what I'm saying? So if that one goes up and down during the course of the year, that would be why because she literally takes everything. But it goes there and then it goes away. Yes. So as soon as we get the money back, um, and she's building every, um, two months because she does that. That's what it's adopted. It's been in 900. Correct. So if there was a program that she needs to use to do her speech services, our speech teacher, she bought it and don't have to be other than. Yep. Maybe not point me out, putting it out to me in the $80. No, but because. But it's at one down. It's the end of the campaign. No, but because you're going to see it in the salary for her every month, too. One month. Okay. So let me respond to it. Says I'm the 17% new. It's passed. But then next month, you may see it. They'll say 40% because we haven't received the money.
So that was the one I wanted to remember point out. Is that what we'll go back and forth because we build. To the other. Okay. Any more financial issues? We're okay. Well, on the items we're describing. And Caitlin, I'll let you go away with the update. I'm going to go into tomorrow. So we are having a meeting tomorrow with us for a selection and a board of finance. It's going to be in the community. We can start. It is supposed to be in person meeting. We couldn't really set up for an air to be every vote component to it. Can we bond to the public one in person? Um, I, I did let someone else know today that Jerry was not feeling well and asked about that. Um, probably each out to you tomorrow. We're very in technology. And like you said that I look forward to meeting. I believe it. They have to know now. They do. But. I'm happy to run. Does it? Oh, right. Are you going to be there? Yeah. I just like. That's what it's like. So I think. Yeah. So I did touch me with her on that today. So basically because like Jerry would like to be there.
Yeah. However. Yeah. Um, as opposed to, oh, I just want to be, you know, on zoom with no one. She has. Like. We were trying to have it be in person meeting. For that. Um. But. So part of what I know. For people from the board of select or for finance will be there. And I believe all the works left. Great. And how many of us are coming forward? Um. All of us. People will be waiting for us. Okay. She's been working. Um. So let's go. Okay. I'm not okay. Um. Um. So do you want me to do my writing. Or more. Sorry. Or. First. Let me ask. Follow her. And I'll. They're supposed to take care of it. So why talk to Kate more. See you after noon. After Jerry. Kind of reported that he might have you able to make it a person.
Yeah. She said, well, we don't want to change. And they're going to be going to add. All right. Yeah. But if necessary, we'll accommodate and you may have to do a page time or you may have to do it over the speaker on your cell phone. But if we go on a degree. Great that. Um. So it's for me to use my link because the fund is on the board. Of course. Grey. Okay. So let me. I'll touch. I want to. Yeah. They should. I'll bring it to you in a minute. And then you can't do it right now. The packet for that meeting is hopefully everyone's permission to work for that. I hope it's to kind of move forward on a collaborative way. I'm okay. Things to assess. I don't just start. Well, oh, I was. Yeah. Yeah. So we're going to vote for a moderator. That's like the first thing on the agenda. Okay. So I'll open the meeting. And then we'll vote for a moderator. There are two people who were asked to come. Bob and murder. Then Jeff Arson and we'll put them as you. Richard has definitely confirmed that he will be there. So that's great. Thank you very much for doing that. I'm going to spend a lot of work. It's really important. And we be on our best faith. Well, he's got it. Yeah. So that you guys are all aware as well.
That time the turning will be there. And then we should have. Okay. Yeah. Great. Okay. This is part of the recap on that. I understand there's going to be coordination for trailers. Zoom account cater. Are you going to deal with her about it? Yeah. Okay. Great. Okay. Okay. Yeah. So that takes care of. Also, 71.8 because I just wanted to make sure that. Jerry is unable to attend to be a community and we've already done that. So that's terrific. We hope you can be there in person, Jerry. Without coffee, though. I just like to stay. Thank you for arranging that. It's very difficult for me to sit on sidelines.
We're not be present. And I really appreciate the efforts that have been made. You know that if there's any way I can be there, I will. But I've been coughing and I don't think I'm glad. I could mute myself and you're not listening to my coughing. I'm very, very self conscious of that. And I don't want to subject people to that. Ruling cough. So thank you for taking care of me. I appreciate it. Okay. Update on the offer level. Okay. Well, it's part of what we need to do. We put on hold last time. What we're going to do with the check. So we might want to address that. And given the talent is otherwise paying for it. Now, I did mention the Eric. He actually called. So what happened? Let's just go with that. Because I promised I would do. I send it and then Eric called me on Friday morning and subsequently sent an email.
Confirming our conversation. He told me that no kidding. They have received a quote as of 6 p.m. on Wednesday. And I joking said, well, why didn't you let us know by seven o'clock on Wednesday. For award meeting, but in any of that. So it was exactly what I explained. Over parking lot basketball court. Lower parking lot. Chow hall and fire department as far as the priority for. The crack ceiling. So. I do get to address the fact. Yeah, I think that we should wait until after the night getting. And I think we should adopt policy for the company to. Prior to doing things like that. I don't think waiting. Other. They were. They. They sent me. They just mentioned that. So. So is your anticipation. So is your anticipation. Okay, the. We're going to do. Policy tomorrow at the meeting with the board. I don't know. Or. I mean, we're. Yeah. whatever policy. We're done. He's doing it up. They're what have you, but at least I understand that's what they're talking about in the past. This is how everyone's going to be in agreement so when we do something, it follow the process and there are no schemes for anyone to not
get here to that process. So just do it. Yeah, that's great. I mean, as far as I know, if we're talking about the new capital accounts, based on what the BOF said at their main meeting, we're talking about a policy that would be between the Board of Ed and the Board of Finance. They're pretty excited to do that. Yeah. And then we got it. I think we can try to take some of the language from the 2% non-lapsing account and make it similar to that as far as us putting the money in. I guess with the 2% we're going to alter all this, but just a thought process. We have the other Board of Finance is approval to put money in the 2% but again, we're doing it for capital expenditure, which I think is really helpful. So Eric did write a rough draft with that? Okay. I'm just going to see what the ask to do by the Board of Finance. Okay. It is in the meeting packet for tomorrow. Yes, I saw it. It is a draft that is for the 2% and the capital account, like at one policy, I personally don't think they should really shut together. Oh, one is by law and yeah, so I think, I mean, not this year
number one, but really I think the goal first of my error was to identify the teams writing those steps and then you need to do that. Do you like that? We need to have the better definition of expanding that we consider a capital project that's really great. And I think it should mirror over there, but also how we want to, I've said this kind of for a while, like I personally like see triggers on when we go to RFP and trigger non-wind. Yeah, if we're going to spend $100,000, I want to hear that it would be so many, you know, programs like I want to know that we went through a process and, you know, I'm not achieving, you know, criteria that outlines when a project needs things or what makes those criteria. But it makes these triggers, they go through gear or we do utilize the CRP process because we're not at all. That doesn't mean we may not want to use, like we don't have anybody with a maintenance background, we employ because they're maintenance background. So utilizing the towns, these sources and those are guard. Yeah, we don't hire anyone who does pay, that's not what we help us. Whenever we're super-dinner, we didn't ask her how many parking lots she paid, because it was important to me and hire any super-dinner. That would be really cool
if you had done that. So I'm paying the resources of public works or being in the new ways, I think actually helps us. And so defining when we want to answer the process is something internally I could need to. So my only question is, I want to help there, is that are we comples with board having a check written sitting there in Lima? Are we comples with that sitting there with really no receipt, no pay bill, no credit other than boys, no purchase order, no financial point of view, that's an extremely odd thing to have. We just have a check sitting there without any type of documentary evidence. There's a lot of document evidence that goes with that itself. But when we're getting, when we talk about expenses, there has to be certain documentary evidence to the financing of the health points, when outside parties are going to need a country where you are books and I think we can found in fact that we hold our books in higher guard and our books are extremely clean and auditors don't have the shoes. With what we do, I get worried that that will wear a wrong machine, growing. I think we should take pride in the fact that we are entity that keeps us from us. And for me, I think the money is already in comfort for that purpose. So it will be used on that project. But I personally feel uncomfortable from the interest and the point of the app
having to be called for standard documents that are necessary to substantiate the extent from that financial agenda. I just want to sit there at the end of the year when the voucher done, you told that the books are persistent. I want the board to be able to say that to the public, and that's important for transparency. Now, it's important. We're going to look at one of our board situation goals. We're maintaining fiscal accountability. I think we'll be very powerful for us to sit there and say that we're really full and so long. Now, I agree. Here's the thing is that check is where it is right now. And we're talking about 24 hours of the internment. If it doesn't take the accounts there, and that's what we decide to do,
or you understand, I don't see them. You know, I mean, if there's anything odd about them, then I guess they're already leaving when they're starting to death. Well, like, I think it's important today. What's happened to me today? And I'm with 24 hours after we've done it. Yeah, both our attorneys and the talent attorney, everybody may have to come to an agreement as to where this money should be stored between today and tomorrow. Well, I guess it were able to take, I mean, I guess the question would be, I mean, we should talk about this in that we're talking about the joint meeting. If we as a board, I guess how long the president's tomorrow, it is a public meeting. There isn't a agenda, but like you pointed out, and there's a meeting agenda. There's an old action, I think that's possible. Yeah. Yeah. Just take a look around. Yeah. Great.
So maybe if the Board of Education with a forum decides to take action, we could do that. I just want to be crystal clear with regard to the accounts. Just when we talked about the special meeting, there's that account as yet to be set up. So if we're talking about depositing that check into what should have been established was in a capital account, then it's different. It wasn't established because we never wrote a policy. No, I get that. No, perfect. And hopefully we're going to leave it in the understanding of who's doing it tomorrow. That's good. Yeah. And then it shouldn't be very hard to go kind of like, no, it's very easy. That will be great.
You see, just don't put me down. I want you to say like, you know, I understand I might continue to be there. And there's going to be quite a big one. Thanks a lot. I'm going to get at least. Like, hopefully, yeah, I thought before it was mistake. And I still want to just publicly state that I still think there's a mistake based on that back in the sun. And then again, I personally pulled financial house river close. And I think that again, we should come and know what a board values that and it sure is that we're really going to buy books. My first question. Now, I just, I don't uncomfortable with fact that there's still
things that I don't even know what got me in everyone's was attached. And in Terry's case, whoever came to write that check with a patch, I don't know if that is what she didn't use in order to generally back something up. I think the only thing she could have been this day, she was ordered to do that by the Board of Education. So I'm going to go to the Board of Education for the Board of Education for the Board of Education, for the Board of Education, for the documents. No, but what I don't know what it is using this, but typically Terry would have had that with the first sort of a contract to say, this is a check run in 22,000 on the attaching it to this contract. I understand what you're saying, Pete, which is everybody's talked about it and everybody has an understanding of what it's supposed to be used for,
but as far as an order to earn it's far as if I had to manage her, they typically don't issue, especially that's staying until we check without having that contract. So thank you for your concern, noted, and hopefully we'll have a resolution within maybe not 24 hours, but at least 25 or 26 hours. But they're great. Anything more on either the joint meeting or the parking lot? I think you're still in the right and you're not going to look, from that they start day or no, they're looking for them. They don't know, they don't correct you. No, they're just signing the contract today. No, yesterday or today, as soon as the board is like, yeah, the board's been today, as soon as the board is
like an authorizing inside of this morning, and he's waiting here back as to the timing, because they need to get a Saturday when they're going to come in and do it. But obviously it's been put out there, if you can fill us in, and can you fit us in between projects, it's only 24 hours, and obviously we need to get them now before the winter gets. But in his email, Eric said, actually it's an ideal time to do it, because the cracks have been expanded with the heat or cold or contracted, so that it would be a great time to seal it. And there's time to seal it used. Just because I think the board is going to be with our safety, there's nothing we need to do to re-open and process, hopefully, right? If you do it safe, I think you can re-open it, right?
Yes, we don't need to take any action. Like, at the board, we don't have to stay here. Yeah, long as it's safe. When you do it, yeah, open it up. Just take away the cold, stop running. Okay. The exam reports, I'll just report, Ravina, see I came meeting on the 19th of October. We're finally, I think, going to have to have a meeting, because the here is stuff that needs to be addressed, so that would be a current. And again, if anybody would like to become the liaison for CIP, let me know. And now, at that, that definitely was something I should have mentioned earlier. After we left here last time, because I didn't know, I did call our counselor to ask when the new terms start, because we had an election on November 7th, I was on the mission question that our terms would go to the end of the year. She confirmed that new terms in the luck everybody. We'll start on November 21st. So two weeks after the election date,
the next, no, we after the next meeting. But it's so before the summer, so our next meeting is November 8th, and I was going to mention it during that time, and then two weeks after it would be November 21st. And look back at the shorter, and it is somewhat provided for India, because we had a change from May elections, November elections, but again, I just want to be sure that our counselor, when those terms were in a start, to see how they would affect our next meeting. Okay, and the other liaison reports. Do you know, in terms of what the election stuff does that? Do you go up on, go back down to all of the deadly, whatever, before the new four minutes, four minutes, four minutes, four minutes, again, the word in front of the end. I said, I said, I said, we went out for it. Samantha, Samantha. Okay, so comments from the public on agenda items. Kelly, have any?
Okay, I want to come back to Kelly. Norris, any comment on agenda items? No, thank you very much. Thank you. Dr. Lee, any comment on agenda items? No, all of that. Thank you. Thank you. And thanks for being here. That's your one day of teaching. Okay, this is how it's a thing. All set. Thanks, everyone. Thank you. Rihanna, any comments on agenda items? No, thank you. Thank you. Christina Frazier. All set. Thank you. Terrific. Jenny Morelle. Nothing for me, Shannon. Thank you. Thank you, Jenny. But I have to Kelly. Kelly, any comments? Well, you may have said no, because it was really good. Kelly, was that what you said?
Thank you. Okay. I'm going to go on then. Jen, any comments? You don't want to let us write it like that. Come on. Yes. And I'll try to move along to do that. Okay. comments, any other action items? Great. Oh, coming meeting is November 8th. I think we don't need any items for next meeting, because we may fill it up with what happens tomorrow night. Yes, I thought I would just look in just to put out their board. So just somewhere we'll need to put it on outside. I'm just looking to make sure I all think when we update it, for the statute, it needs to take place earlier in one month after the day. In 30 days, yeah. Yeah, we'll let it go. And we'll put it all out now. Just to have the discussion, I don't think any of us are touching it. I'm not filling grises spot. The next lower meeting for two weeks. I don't know. We don't have to. And then they said so I think it's only clearly. Well, no, no, because his resignation wasn't put in until October 11th. So yeah. So then the 30 days would not be until after next board meeting, at which time the election will be occurred. And then then we have to put out notice in other areas. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. Here would be. Also, right. Yeah. And nobody else can take any action because we wouldn't have been on the 30 days for it. Great.
Thank you. And we have to vote on something. We've heard we have a number of what happens if there's a time to discuss it until you don't believe reaching agreement and extension, we'll get rid of the tide. So if somebody wants to abstain, and there's three two on one issue. But otherwise, just like when we really, you know, when we elected a new board member, we have to discuss it until we reach agreement or agreed to pass it to the national team. Okay. Yeah. No, that's a very good question. Does that would have been during our last meeting for a sudden change? Oh, so yeah. Yep. So last. You ready to do the honors? Ready? Let's do it. Ready? Yep. Ready. We're going to make a motion. Motion to adjourn.
Okay. Okay. Thank you very much. So last and so via. Thank you everybody for being here. Good night. And we want to see you tomorrow if you want to see the three boards in action.
