What do you plan? I'm sorry, thanks. Good to go, Slavs. Okay. All right, welcome, everyone. I'd like to call to order the end over Board of Education's meeting. Today is September 11, 2024, and we'll start off with a pledge of allegiance. I'm going to the committee's flag. I'm sorry. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic where which it stands. One of the issues under the individual with liberty and justice for all. Thank you. The committee's. Okay, we'll start off with comments from the public. I'll refer to everyone on the screen. Ms. McGoldrick. Hi, I'm all set. Thank you. That's part of it. How's that? And for that? Do you think so now you're going to watch the other anything? No, okay, there. No, okay, thank you. All right, any communications? Does anybody have any communications? No, okay. Student celebrations? So it's not going to appear quite like a student celebration, but I think it fits in here. Obviously, I'm celebrating that we are here. We're in session with students are here, but I thought this might be a nice time while I couldn't. We don't quite have some student celebrations yet to share that I would share a new staff with you guys. So yeah, I'm just going to click the link. Share this screen. Oh, okay, that sounds right off. All right, so we have a few new staff members. I want to share with you.

This is a re-parker, our new parent educator. Nice to see you, too. If you decide to do a class or most of our parent educators are in several classrooms. So do you have any other new, yes, some are in preschool, but it's not their in several classes. This is Jody Knight. She is our new speech pathologist. Oh, she is. Yeah, we, she is shared.

She's our new school counselor. Hi, I'm sure that there's a new counselor for any gender. And I'm going to hand over elementary on Tuesdays and Thursdays. And I am so excited to be there. It's an adorable school. It's very, very, very, very hard. I already am having so much fun because I don't work in this. So I'm going to be a credit between me. And Shona is also in Hebrew, at Gillian, which is great. Beth's free-O'Donnell is a pair educator in preschool. Did you start the recording? Yes, excellent. Yes, I'm sure Shona. Yes. And then Holly, I'm going to get her picture. Holly Stavinski is one of our other new pair educators.
Oh, what? So I thought I would introduce you to our staff. It's going super well. And they are all very excited to be working with our kids. That's great. Thank you. Thanks for doing that. Because I know there's a lot of, absolutely. It's in the size of put a face to a new yellow. Yeah. That's great. All right, there's some twites, so should be. OK, did everybody have an opportunity to take a look at the meeting minutes from August 21st? Oh, OK. Anybody have any corrections? Anything? OK. There's a motion to approve the minutes.

I'd like to celebrate Valerie's birthday. Although it be related. All of us, I don't know. I don't know. I'm sure. I'll leave this to you. So, but thank you very much, Valerie. Have to be birthday and leave it over. OK, chairperson report. All right, so I want to again welcome everyone. School started where we're week three. I hope everyone had an opportunity to read the river east. There was a great article in there about our school. So thank you, Taylor, and Valerie for connecting with the reporters.
I thought it was great. It would be a really nice spotlight on our school. And so thank you. I want to just talk briefly about the step at count. I know we talked about it at our meeting last month. And that was going to be on the agenda for this month. I'm still gathering information. I have an email into our auditor to get some more information. So I'm not prepared to make any kind of presentation this month. So what I'd like to do is put it on our agenda for next month. OK, so all right. And then I just want to take a moment to remember what happened today, 23 years ago.
I'm sure everybody remembers where they were on this day and I just felt that it would be appropriate to just kind of recognize today. I know that this day will hold the special places in our hearts and in our minds. And I just want to just take a moment to remember the ones who died, their families, and their loved ones, and of course, the first responders. So that's all I have. Valerie, take it away. So grant updates and facility updates. So the grant updates we fully expanded what we had been working on for a while, the last of the ARP SERP, which actually started in 2021, the deadline was the 30th. So we're fully expanded on that one of September. And all of that ARP SERP COVID money is now gone. That was the last of those grants. So we started around zero again. Let's go to the ground room to kind of, I'm sorry. The right to read grants also. We've expanded the right to read grants. We had, uh... We had two of them. They were for the purpose of the mandate for the new K-3 required reading program where we had put the wavering
and we wound up choosing bookworms. We were able to really utilize that for the K-3. Of course, we did wide-up between last year and this year having to invest in the four six end of it. But all of the K-3 reading supplies that we needed associated with it came out of their professional developments. A teller will talk about which will wind down in October from the money that we had with that right to read. So we're, we're good in that department. That one's over and done with this. Well, we had this summer that IDEA, TSA, Power Up Professional Power Educator grant for 5,000. And that was to assist with the extra professional development for parent educators. And between the, um, the PMT training and the, uh, what was the only did the big one, um, CPR, um, and then there were a couple of other ones that were choice of the Paris, uh, between those as topics. And, um, we were able to then obviously pay staff if it was non-work time. So even though that three to one that we now have, um, that the state set up with all of the topics for parent educators, if they were able to do any of those modules on their own time, um,
obviously the pay for that time came out of there as well. So we've expected that as well, but for the most part, between the summer and the start of the school year, those, if you remember right from last year, the required 18 hours that need to be in there for parent educators, most of them are actually fairly close right now to having completed and are only still in September their years worth of. So from here moving forward, um, obviously they're, um, welcomed and invited to participate through the course of the year in the others, but you know, happy to say that's because of that grant, most of our parent educators are, are now satisfied, um, with what that mandate is. Um, and then the summer enrichment grant I mentioned last month, um, so all the paperwork's been done on that. That one's done and closed out now. So we're good. We're moving forward and then this is the point that for October, November and December, we just cross our fingers and keep watching and seeing what other ones are going to be opportunities to open up. Any of the ones that are still open that we're two year grants.
Remember, we are currently working still on one of our mental health grants, um, which is what we pay a portion of care, forms be our school psychologist out of, uh, we had extended her time with that grant so that we're still in the year two of that. And the summer mental health program that we had will expand to next summer as well. So that's kind of where we are with that, um, financially. And I know that this usually comes under school readiness, but financially, in terms of grants, school readiness grant and a smart start grant, we're in a good place with those right now, our spots are filled. And so that money will help to maintain the four rooms and then tuition will supplement the rest of the salaries because we have four teachers and and paraprofessionals. So, um, right now we're looking really, really good in that department as well. Um, I know that when we open to the fourth one, we said, you know, will we or what we hold our breath and see if we'll be financially self-sufficient. At this point, what I look at projections for tuition and I look at this smart start school readiness, I'm still seeing a potential of about 22,000 to be in a deficit. But, um, it's early in the year for that, um, it's definitely early in the year for us to say that. But that would be the worst case scenario, which, you know, I always like to let you know. And so, um, yeah, that's that's where we are financially in terms of grants. In terms of facilities for the good and the bad, having Scott now as our head is doing the antenna and I every day are like, you know, we've been stopping so good now.
Yeah. Um, he takes the job very seriously, which is great. Um, but what, why is it happening then is you're like, careful, you wish for. Um, we, we do have a much longer, um, you know, wish list now of in the next couple of years. The smaller things that need to be done, um, that I can say we're neglected because that's not fair to say to, um, Steve Campbell because that's, that's not accurate. But, um, things that kind of were back burnered and now it's time to not have them be back burner, so that they don't become a problem. And so, for example, coming up this month, um, we will have somebody in to clean their some such that is, um, kind of, um, congregating the bottom of the boiler and, you know, if we don't have that cleaning, which is cleaning that's over and above, what we normally would do, um, then it could cause a problem later on. So, um, as we go through
the financials, um, we'll see it with, with Terry's tonight, um, that she had said to you guys, um, we will start to have a few, unexpected, smaller things. I'm not worried about them at this point, but it's not because things are in a bad place with facilities. It's because some of the things that were like, oh, get to that one, you know, um, it's time for us to make sure that we're putting it on there as, um, repair and maintenance before it becomes more than just maintenance. And so, you'll start to see that. Just so that you guys know what some of those things are, has now been a time to put them on the list. Um, uh, F-P-T, which is our fire, um, uh, the company that that that oversees, uh, our fire alarm system. Uh, we've had for a long time where, if there's a short, um, if there is a power outage or anything like that, we're anything triggers that to go into alarm and then it has to, um, be restored in a manner that it shouldn't be. Um, what I mean is there's no auto-restaurant to it. So Scott and I kind of joke about that because that's usually usually happens like in the middle of a night and my phone goes off. It hits phone goes off and we get text messages and in the morning, I'm like, you know, the woman's name appears on
their name is actually Ari and I always say Ari is calling me again. I know, I know, I know. Um, so, uh, that means to be fixed because if it's ever where the two of us are able to access that, one of us can't restore it that way. So, um, that's probably gonna be about $400 to have them come and reset that panel. Um, but that does need to be done. That's something that we've been living with for a while and we just don't want to live with that anymore. So we're going to have the command and say, how do we fix this so that it doesn't pop in every time there's a little power glitch there. Um, there is a door in the music room that it's not an unsafe door right now, but um, when that door is heated up, that door, um, would get stuck for all types of purposes and outside door. And they a couple of times had come and, um, like, um, file a down, um, and it's to the point now where, um, we do have to put that on a list at some point, um, to have somebody
come in and potentially replace just the door portion of it because otherwise they gap underneath is going to become too large. Um, and so, you know, we're things like that. That doesn't necessarily have to be done with school year, but those things are things that we are starting to put on that list now because it makes sense to do that. And I did tell Scott all the ways, tease him about finding things like that. Um, we always want to have those on a list because every once in a while when certain grants come up, um, there are things like that that can be put in them. And so we we want to know that that that's on our list to be written in there. Um, and lastly on there is
um, there is, uh, you know, that the AC units in, uh, won't do too much. Um, I didn't know that that that was there before I got here. Uh, when we put those in when, uh, right after COVID, when we put them into all the rooms with the COVID money, um, I didn't know that there were a couple that had existed in server rooms before. So this one's not working right and they said it's because the age of it. And I said the age of it, we really put them in 2020, 2021. And they said no, no, that one's older. And as we went back through Scott and I went back through we realized that yes, in fact, that one is much older. That one was one that had existed here along before. That's because the server closet was in World 221. Um, so, you know, we have a quote from our regular service company, um, USA mechanical, um, but that one will have to be replaced because if it's on, it leaks. And then when it leaks, um, you know, where it leaks into, will wind up moldy. So she has to just not use it right now. Um, and it's fine because it's September right now. This has been a fairly recent, um, you know, uh, new thing. But it's got to get done before the spring, because if it doesn't get done before the spring, um, we will wind up not
we'll be able to have that in there. And like I said, there's a server closet in there. It's a classroom now for, um, or, um, dumb astral. So those are the things on the list. It's nothing, you know, life urgent, but these are things that we're starting to add to the list so that when we see quotes come in, it won't be a surprise. So he's doing a great job, though, um, we're making sure that, uh, we have all that going. And then last thing for me, um, is, um, well, two things. Last thing I find on the facilities is I told you that before we ever even consider, I know you did vote to have us go ahead and start to look at that age back, um, evaluation that needs to be done. Thank you. But, um, I am waiting for my results from the other district so that I can kind of know that process all the way through and remember it is, you know, we want to get it done. So if there's money there,
but I want to see that project through there, start to finish. So then I know what we're dealing with. And so they're going to send me the report this week. And that way, we'll have a little bit more education because there may be some things that we can look at ahead of time on our own and be a little bit better prepared. So I haven't forgotten about that. I'm just waiting for the results from the other one. So that I know a little bit more about what that process is. And then the last thing is those of you who sent me your signups for the cave convention, those are all pin. If there's anybody that changed their mind one way or another, you want to add a day to take a day away, you said you couldn't go. And now you could just let me know. But I'll never be too late to sign you up. It's just we have to sign off separate. But everybody else who put in your names for the convention in November, you already sent ready inside of it. Thank you. Thank you. Does anybody have any questions for this quick on the server room? Is there any risk of that getting too hot with that AC not working? Because I know, but they can't have them like refrigerator.
Is there this server room? Oh, it's a server closet in there. It doesn't serve everything. It's that. I didn't even know that there had been an AC in that room, but at one time that room was used for something else. And since it's still a closet, server closet in there, that's why it's in there. But no, there isn't a risk. The rest of the servers, there's one down there and there's one in the other. So they're all set. Oh, it's got to be done monitoring the tempo. Okay. Open windows if you really feel like it was. Yeah, definitely the tempest weather changing. Yeah, so that's a good question. Anybody else? No, thanks. Thanks, Bob. Yeah, thank you. Failure up. All right. So you'll see, I want to start with the enrollment report. Today, this is just so exciting to see that 240 number two months in a rough. So we had quite the, I always forget when our last meeting was. It was before, so we'll start it, right? Yes. I mean, it was wild the week before. So I can believe the
movements, like I think, you know, two or three days before we had two or three new kids. I mean, it was just, it's great. House's, you know, come on the market and sold and so we're, we're pumped to be at 240. We have filled all of our 60 preschool spots how we talked about. And it's honestly amazing. I don't think if you walk through the halls, you'd be like, there are 60 preschoolers here. They're just, it's like a, it's like a mad, it's a, you know, like the classes are really just doing super well. They're adjusting our new teachers, our adjusting the team is doing great new pair of new pairs as well. I don't have a knee. I'm just so we're clear. Sorry about that. I'm just going to do a number two of that. I'm going to make sure they're moving a little bit. You know, we just, I have to have some numbers. I would not be careful. Okay. So that's great. At the 60 preschoolers, we're really excited to have them. We've already getting, you know, a lot of positive feedback from parents and from the community. So that's been awesome. I know we talked about mentioned a little briefly about bookworms. And we are up and running there in terms of professional development. Like she mentioned, we were able to get four days through the University of Delaware, which is awesome. They, that is where the author is actually does her research and work from. And so there's,
there's really that kind of grassroots feel where we're getting the EV straight from the source. And it's not really this huge conglomerate company. So teachers are really responding to that feel of they care about instruction and care about our kids. So they're really excited about that. We'll have two days in October and a couple of days later. So they're diving in had first, but with more and more Pewdie to come, which is kind of set up ideally that way. So they know almost like what are the trouble spots and one of the questions we have and how can we work on those. So that will be coming up. We did also spend a lot of our Pewdie time in the beginning of the year sharing with Mike just on a lot of new mandated trainings that are coming up with teacher. And so we wanted to make sure we put in the time and the effort to make sure we were following all the new legislation that had passed just in April and May. So we're caught up there and happy about that. I know I mentioned at the end of who was it June or July. Well, we went through student survey data, kept on break that for which month, but when we did that, one of the things we talked about was there was a couple of student response areas that we wanted to improve and they were around having that trusted adult, the recall and feeling good about school. And so we talked about
some things to come. Some of you have heard one of the initiatives we're doing is the house system. Very Harry Potter S, if that's a, something you can compare it to. Well, it's not the Harry Potter house. There is no slither in everyone. But, but just so you can kind of attach it to something and really, well, yes, it's fun for kids and it's good for climate. The goal is to create some of those relationships that otherwise wouldn't naturally happen. So a student in a fifth grade class with Mrs. Hopkins may not be in the same house as Mrs. Hopkins, but they might be in the same house as Mrs. Beck and third grade and be able to build that relationship on those days and have that mentor. Also, cross-age with kids because those houses will have a grade six gives a lot of mentorship, leadership opportunity for older kiddos and it's funny when you talk to the kenders in first grade. They get to feel both. They go like this when they're like, I said, you're going to have some preschoolers and they, you know, they go up, but then when you say, there's also going to be some big hits. You know, so it kind of serves all purposes and creating some excitement around that and just really giving us another way to positively reinforce students to, to display student
work to really just build that because we are not a PDA yes school sort of speak. We're not ticketing kids all day. We're really relational and we believe in building positive relationships with kids and so this kind of builds on to that. So we're excited about that as well. It will quickly happen in the house. Sure. So do you have specific meetings? Yes. During the week or during the week. Yep. So they will have a house meeting once in month. And then as we get up and running, the goal is if you think with our numbers, you have about say 60 kids, if you've ever taken a house, it is up to fate. So we all know how the
exactly even we drive some of our eight types a little bit. They don't believe that the math of my wheel will be perfect. I am trusting it. I am trusting it, right? But one of the goals is we get up and running is within those 60 to make those smaller groups of eight to 10 with our certified staff so they can start to build like what we talked about with those little mentoring kind of groups and relationships where they would also be able to send me a regular basis. Of course, it's always a balance of time from academics and time towards this. So it's something that we're building together as a staff but we're excited. We've started our spirit days this week and we couldn't believe it. I mean, it was almost every student in the building today and read. It was really cool to see really a lot of good stuff. And then in October, I just want to mention real quick. Next month, I will be able to share an SPAC in some of the
data with us. You might have seen the state just finally. I'm always takes them a while to release it publicly. So I can share a little bit more about that in some of our goals. But I mean, that's great. Thank you. I think questions for Taylor. Does anybody have any questions? Well, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Where are you, Terry? I have, Terry. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks, Ralph. Yeah. Oh, thank you, by having the packets or report that she sent to you. If you look at the front, the 2025 custom expenditure report in the front. That's the one that just lists it by on two pages, the short version. The only thing that obviously percentage-wise is summer school is over and done with. So we use 93% there. Usually use 100%. But just remember that we were working on a couple of grants this summer. So there were a few things that did wind up in a grant. That's why there's $430 left there to be transferred at some other time during the course of the year. I know that another concern is usually if anything this early in the year is higher than 20 or 30%. So if you look down at the medical from the dental benefits, just know that we already made a July August and September payment because we do monthly payments for a medical insurance to the spring group. And I actually think she might have already sent in October. Our monthly bill that we send in, our payment is about 67,000 for the medical benefits. And so that
doesn't include dental or life insurance or any of those other things. But that's about what we pay per month. And that's the boards. We go share that. Let's see, repair and maintenance. You see that 60%. As I said, that line probably will be a line that goes over in the next couple of months. And then we'll have to make a decision if we can comfortably take from someplace else at this point. You know, that's what we would do. Communications down there is something that's a little bit higher there, too. But there are a lot of subscriptions and related services or lease agreements
and things that are signed at the start of the year. And that's where that one comes in. And the same thing with, if you look at the end there, that you send a few weeks in terms of 50% being used already because we have already paid some of our memberships. So other than that, I mean everything else right on far there, where it needs to be. Do you have any questions on what's in there so far? I was probably in the years, it's not too much. Any questions? Okay. All right, thank you. Yep, no. I'll turn you to a big round. Okay, Leah's on reports. I'm still ready, yes. I know we're going to get into the work. We're going to go on back to we're going to have our own school readiness committee. We're excited about that. We have a new liaison this year. Paula Gooslin, who will be working with us and we are first meeting is in October. Okay. And so as the report of that, we have filled all of our school readiness slots. So we're looking really good there. That's great. Awesome. Mike and Jerry, any current bill out of our seats? No. Shannon, any? Yes. I won policy. The voters left me and started to consider it on Monday night. Okay. They put it off to their October meeting to give them more time to consider it. Okay. Hoping at the end of September, the board of finance will take action at it. Okay. Positively. And then we'll see if we can finally have a framework. Awesome. Thank you. Yeah, kind of about the tail end of the board of slept and meeting.
I was coming out of my duty to any meeting. So, so I kind of heard a little bit. And by who's there also not good. Any going to keep going? No, no, I don't see. Okay, that was my next question. Okay. Um, and the PTA update. We had our first meeting on Monday. We're off to a great start. And we did talk about this at the meeting. So I will let everybody know here that the PTA raised enough money to put it in the playground. Oh, great. Yes. So we talked about it unveiling. So we will, we're going to make a special announcement at the back-to-school night next week. But um, everything will go well. We will have a new playground installed by Thanksgiving. So wow. Yes. So we're very excited. So we did it. We did it with everyone's help. Thank you. Okay. So next up is the executive session. So I make a motion to go into executive session for the purpose of interviewing candidates for the Board of Education vacancy. Also, I know. Thank you. All in favor. All right. All right. All right. Okay. So I'll make a motion at 829. Did you come out of executive session? I'll start in there. Okay. All right. All right. Okay. So I don't
for discussion and action at the early vacancy. Vote to a point candidate to vote the only vacancy. Was everybody sorry? No, no, no, no, no. I'm sorry. Sometimes it's a little slow. Yeah. Okay. All right. Are you ready to vote? Okay. Jerry. Let's take one. Thank both of you for coming in. Thank you so much. Talk to me with us. Talk to you in the future. I don't even identify with you. So my vote goes to you. Yes. Yeah. I mean, that goes there's time. I think that's my time doing the exact same thing. That's the size of eight on my path to the rate. And the thinking about why I myself did it in the low I bill. It's hard to decipher. Compact that the role of the board needed the most that this moment in time that everything that's going on with us
in the town. Other boards, the community, after me, I did a discussion kind of carefully deliberated and I didn't figure out who picked up the most down. I think that's funny. I thought if we could that all forget to kind of bridge what we need right now. What do you mean by the time? Again, thank you both. And my vote is for the other. You both did tremendously and both my tremendous possibilities and outreach and community. Inocênally enough for you both were separate. You both had very similar ideas, which are really difficult. It made it more difficult. But it's very difficult to make this decision. I'd like you very much be out of, but I think Eric, we need another data on the board to help round out the board. I don't think I'm going to really lose for that. Thank you for your, you know, like your call to action. I appreciate it. Thank you for your willingness to serve on this board. My vote is for the out of. So that would be three for Eric and three for the out of. So we're not going to welcome you to a thank you.
You are welcome to say for the remainder of the meeting. We don't have much left. We're going to have to go back into another exact obsession. So it's up to you, but you are welcome to go to the town hall tomorrow to get sworn in. And our next regular board meeting is on October 9th. Good. All right. So thank you. Be out of thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I know this is after the fact of what I have a please continue to help us and be involved. I know you have the board, but please do that. All right. All right. All right. All right. Oh, do you like cocaes? Yeah. Jeremy. Michael left. The abrasion. Everything's a fundraiser. Okay. Next up is report on all this time meetings. Jerry, that was you. Well, I attended both of them. Okay. The board is fine. I mentioned the board of full appointment. The board is so much, man. Really had nothing to say about the board of education. We were not mentioned. The board of finance, Shannon, knows that they table the acceptance of the policy that she and Robert England grew up. So it seems like it's going to
write them a glacier. Hopefully it'll go through. Okay. So that was the last assigned meeting. So what I'd like to do is just assign future meetings. So I know Caitlin's not here, but she hasn't been assigned a month. So what I'd like to do is just and just so Eric, you're aware, one of the things that initiative that I did when I came to chair was to assign a month where one member of our board would either in real-time attend a town meeting or watch it after the fact. And then report at the next board meeting. If there was any board of education business, you know, anything to discuss relative to the board of ed. I felt that it was important for us to kind of learn the failures in the town to learn how their meetings are held and then to report them, you know, back to the other vendors of the board. So we've all have done that. So what I'd like to do is just assign the upcoming months. So I'll have, and I'll reach out to Caitlin to let her know. I have September, which means next month, I will talk about what was discussed in September. So I'll have Caitlin do October. Mike, I have you down for November, December for Shannon, January. Oh, I shouldn't be December only because I may not be able to watch it afterwards. Like, I just walk away the long. Now that's okay. Anyway, I'll do December. Okay. Bray, I have you down for January. Eric, I'll put you down for February. All right, Jerry, I have you down for March. And I have me down for April. And then we can kind of take it up so far away.
No, I think that's what I wanted to do. So I have up until April, and then we can talk about it. And that is so. Yes, sir. Yeah. And what I'll do is also an email out just so everybody has it. And I'll let Caitlin know that she's up for October. So, okay. Any discussion with that? I appreciate it. Thank you very much. I think it's very helpful. Okay, comments from the public on agenda items. I'll start off with our folks on Zoom. Jen McAlljerk. I am all set. Thank you. Thanks, Jen. Everybody's on. I'm all set. Thank you. Thanks, Kimberly. Liz, Liz, low check. Low catch. Sorry. Oh, you got it. Thanks. No, the only thing I would ask is who is the person that's supposed to update the town website with the board of the Ed meetings? Because it was kind of difficult to find the agenda on the town website. I think it's kind of a secretary to sound. Yeah. Yeah. The text lecture. I would follow up Liz with the with Kate Morrissey at the town. Okay. Thank you. It would be, it would make it like I missed a lot of them
beginning in the meeting because I couldn't find the agenda and whatnot and had to go over actually to the school site. So it's just curious. Thank you. And Liz, just so you know, it's also on the school website under board of Ed. Our packets are always there as well. So if you can't find it on the town, you can go to our website. Okay. Thank you. Thanks, Liz. This is Fratia. I'm all set. Thank you. Eric, do you have anything to do with the mic? Yes. Um, so nine of the agenda items of communications and then again, during this superintendent's report. I'm sorry, the chairperson for the report. I didn't hear any mention official communication that the chairperson had with me in the email since last or then meeting. It was not mentioned in my oral report. Okay. So I have a letter here that I've assigned. Um, that again, Brad, I'm going to ask you that this is nothing to do with what's on our agenda. Um, I address your concerns via email and I have those submit address. So I recognize that you've threatened their guide to shutting you down. Um, but Liz asked a question that was not related to the agenda items. And you open discussion with her and you discuss with her. So I really, um, voice disagreement with that and just content. Okay. No, that I would like to reassure you. So at this time, we're going to go into executive session for the purpose of the DOE self evaluation and superintendent evaluation. Okay. You can leave those in two minutes. Could I have a motion? I make a motion to go into executive session for the purpose of DOE self evaluation and superintendent evaluation. Thank you. All right. All right. All right. All right.
All right. Thank you. And there's nobody in the waiting room recording now. I make a motion to come out of executive session at 9.54 or certainly. Oh, Liz is sorry. Oh. Oh. All in favor. All right. All right. Okay. All right. Um, all right. Um, we have no other action items for that. No. No. Okay. Upcoming board meeting or next meeting is actual word night. Um, so far items for next meeting. We will have us in O'Neill here for the fun things project proposal. I will definitely be able to talk about the step account and have a discussion about that. So that will be on there. I don't think to understand it. I don't know if you want to expect us back. Yeah. No, that's the agenda versus my report. And then I know we did last year towards the end of the year.
We had some kids come and everything. Yeah. I don't know if we can start one of that. That would be that would be great. So as that results for Taylor. Um, I think that's it. Okay. All right. Motion return. Thank you. Jerry on favor. All right. Some of thank you. All right. 9.55.
