Video

Pledge to the flag of the United States
of America and to the republic for which
it stands, one nation under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice
for all.
>> Uh changes to the agenda. I would like
to request that the policies for second
reading be postponed till until next
meeting. Um I don't think we need to
address those right now. And we'll also
have input from the administration on
those other priority policies at that
point as well. Okay. So is that cool
with people?
>> Yeah.
>> Great. All right. Any other changes to
the agenda?
>> Awesome. Okay.
Public comments number one pretty much
we have a zoom and we have in person.
Um, anybody have public comments.
Okay,
good. Anybody online have public
comments?
We'll watch for hands.
Okay, we will move forward, but this is
going to be an abbreviated meeting and
we will have a time at the end of our
meeting for more public comments. Okay,
we have a consent agenda with a lot of
items on it. And again, I would like to
not address these unless there's areas
that we really want clarification on
because I want to go into our work
session soon. But I don't want to rush
anybody. So, you've had the agenda for a
little bit. Is there anything on the
agenda on the consent agenda that
somebody would like more detail on?
>> Yeah, I do have a question on the one
that's 39979525.
I don't
>> Okay, hang on.
>> Quite understand what that
>> So, in the manifests,
>> it's in the manifest.
>> In the manifest, there's a manifest for
just under $400,000.
>> Correct.
>> Yep. So, uh, I'm assuming these are
again end of the year cleanups, but it
might be beginning of the year. Do you
know what particular that one was? I
don't remember either.
>> I'd have to I mean, we I can say that we
have um we ended up paying I believe we
ended up paying the second part of the
track because that was completed. So,
that could have been it. It also could
have been um I know 50,000 of it was
likely also um some of the window work
and everything that we were doing um at
times not during the summertime. Um the
certainly
the payroll manifests would be in that
realm but payroll
>> the largest payroll is like 119,000 or
something like that right now. So yeah
>> and that should be yeah exactly. So
>> yeah.
>> Um that's not it but
>> okay
>> and I don't have links to them right
here.
>> Payroll is listed separately. So yeah.
Okay.
>> All right. Any other
>> in the budget transfer is just
transferring special ed funds to SP to
the correct special ed fund lines given
the population and the contracts that
are in place.
>> Yeah. And I would like to take note of
the donation from Patricia Martin for
the NHDI residency at Jeffrey Grade
School of $2,000. Um that is a very
generous donation. This program is
decades old now and is such a vibrant
part of our community. So that is such a
we are so grateful that uh that that
donation came through and that that
program is going to be funded. It's
pretty incredible. So thank you Pat
Martin.
>> Okay. Do you mind if I say something
about um the retirement?
>> Go ahead.
>> Okay. Um typically I meet or I go to all
of the end of the year retirements. I
usually say something um in public and
when I mean in public I mean with the
other teachers and so forth at their end
of the year uh meetings um about each
individual who retires did not get an
opportunity to do that of course for Dr.
Love. Uh Grant Love has decided that it
is time for um him to retire. Uh and uh
so that's on the agenda for tonight to
accept that retirement. um I believe if
I'm correct 24 years that he gave he
dedicated his himself to this school
district specifically the school um CHS
and uh was English teacher beloved by um
many and certainly uh had a great impact
on the lives of um hundreds of
individuals and so uh congratulations to
Dr. love. Um I know that he still does
some teaching uh at the college level
and I'm excited uh that he's going to be
stepping into another part of his his
life.
>> Thank you.
>> So thank you for for your dedication to
the Jaffrey Range Cooperative School
District and specifically Conan High
School.
>> Agreed. Thank you. Um and last on the
agenda is the acknowledgement of receipt
of uh updates to the handbooks um which
you can all review and that's simply
part of the consent. These are done so
that uh they can get the books printed
and cleared up at the door
>> um in the handbooks on the Jeffrey grade
school. Carrie Drew's email is still
listed as Carol and Hendrickson. And in
the Ridge Memorial School, it only lists
the six school board members. It doesn't
list Dan.
>> Yeah. How the school board member for
RMS.
>> Yes.
>> Okay.
>> And then
>> and then JGS, it was
>> Carrie Drew's emails wrong.
>> Yeah. Carrie Drew
email. Good. Thank you. And if you catch
any others along the way, this is an
acknowledgement of receipt. You will
vote for them next time around. So any
questions or anything you have, any
mistakes like that that you can see, you
know, if we can do that, we can clean
them up in advance.
>> Mhm.
>> And then they'll be printed.
>> Send it to you or just
>> Yeah, that's that I mean that would be
best. Then I can disseminate it to the
location.
some of the policies
um the policies that got updated I just
emailed you I just received today uh
update to the bullying policy as well um
and that's the one that we had held off
and sent to administration because we
have such a comprehensive policy that we
just want to make sure it aligns um on
Thursday we'll be looking at that policy
as well but um but if you could pass on
what I sent you today the updates
>> to just make sure that they're still
aligning because I see the discipline
handbooks on here and
>> sure
>> you know that the bullying policy is is
talked about in all of our handbooks. So
>> y
>> um all right so if there's no other
questions or uh input I'll take a motion
to approve the consent agenda.
>> I move we accept the consent agenda as
presented.
>> Thank you Sandra. Is there a second?
>> I'll second. Thank you Christine. All in
favor say I. I
>> I opposed abstain passes 700.
>> We have the minutes for the non-public
and public minutes. And I believe only
Ally was missing from this. Okay. Um and
so I'll take a motion to approve the
minutes from July 20th, both the
non-public and the public.
>> I will make that motion.
>> Thank you, Christine. Is there a second?
Thank you Jared. Any discussion?
All in favor say I.
>> I.
>> Opposed abstain.
>> I
>> passes 601
and
policy for first reading. I do want to
talk about. So, the KFR policy use of
school buildings and facilities
procedure um is a policy we've been
working on and talking a great deal
about and I would love for it to simply
be approved tonight and but there might
be an addendum. So, um Ruben, would you
mind putting that on the screen as well?
Um
I have highlighted in yellow the
changes. We had a meeting
uh with the um John Frederick from the
town administrator, town manager.
Sam
B,
help me out. What's your last name?
>> I can't.
>> I had it. I had it. I had it. All right.
Sam B.
the um recck department for Jaffrey and
um
Dan Beimis, the recck department for
Ring, Max Van something, the town
administrator for Ring, and uh Sandy and
Ally were able to come as well, and
David, Dustin, and Heather Lindstead
were able to be there. And it lasted for
an hour and a half. Um and John had to
leave after an hour. Um and so he missed
those last words. 45 minutes of it was
spent just on scheduling and working
through scheduling. And um I will say
that I felt like this meeting was
incredibly respectful. Um that people uh
were you know I left um feeling that
there wasn't a selfish bone in that
room. Like the people just wanted to
make this work. Uh we started off by
talking about what the priorities were
for us for each person and uh teamwork,
collaboration weighed heavily in those
responses. Um and I think we came out
with a product that was completely, you
know, agreed upon by everybody and
pushed through and um and quality. And
so you'll see um there's different
things highlighted in the policy. Some
things like the very first piece of it
says payment processing. That's because
we need to make sure before this policy
is fully enacted that the process for
invoicing is complete. Currently that
was or had not been in place for our
master schedule to be able to invoice if
there were damages or for key fobs or
for usage. Um, and so we need to make
sure that that is in place before this
can actually be set as this is what
we're doing. Doesn't mean we can't have
it in writing in the system as approved.
It's just it can't be expected to be
fully enacted until we make sure we have
that piece in place. And Ruben, you had
said that you guys are working on that
at the business office to make this
possible.
>> Yep. So there's two possible, you know,
there's probably a part A and part B,
right? So there's two phases. Um, we do
have a way of invoicing in the business
office that would require I know that
Heather and myself were going to be
getting together on a regular basis to
look at all items to make sure that the
scheduling's in a um a way that is um
that we're not missing anything and that
of course we're abiding by the five-day
part of this policy. Um so we'll be
sharing that information with the
business office so that the invoice
um can can occur. Now there is a second
part that's going to take some more
work. Um the master library
module or the software that we use for
scheduling does have the ability to
invoice and that would of course
automating that would be very helpful.
Um that said, it's not set up yet to do
that and the person and the pe or people
who um started on working on that
process are no longer in the district
and so we have there are people learning
it right now when so um eventually that
should be what
>> is done. So, do you feel we need to wait
for that eventually before this goes
live or do you feel the business office
with their current supports can handle
the invoicing that might be needed?
>> Again, we're when you see the policy,
it's not that it's needed immediately.
>> There's no there's nothing in here that
anybody's going to be having any charges
for for a long time, but
>> is it possible still?
>> Yes, it's possible. And I don't think
we're talking like heavy volume anyway,
right? If we were talking about you know
multiples weekly then we'd have to uh
expedite the other process
>> and it wouldn't be that
>> all right uh under master calendar the
reason I highlighted here is because in
the policy
um online that should be a link to how
the instructions and currently it's not
linked so just so you can see. So when
we do this uh we do need a hyperlink
into the instructions on how to use
master schedule. I'm looking at Wendy.
Okay. Um, we have procedures and the
group agreed. This was written live, so
I have it up on the screen. We're all
talking it out. We're changing wording
together. And so that's how this was all
worked through. Um,
the event request procedure overview has
two addendums to event request is right
for approval. The way approval will work
will be group submits notification of
requested timing.
district responds a preliminary approval
of scheduling within 10 business days.
The district notifies the group at least
a month before the event of facility
approval. Currently, our policy states
that an outside group cannot advertise
that they'll be using our facility
unless they have final approval. That
wasn't happening, but also that was
really difficult to happen because some
of the recck department programs, they
needed four months in advance. We don't
know when our when some of our sports
teams are going to need property. We
don't know when our drama club is going
to need things compared to parent
things. So, this gives them a
preliminary. We are committed to having
you here. It might not be the exact
space you're requesting, but we will
work with your group to get the space
that you need should that not be needed.
So, they'll be able to advertise.
They'll get a firm commitment a month in
advance of which room. So, everybody
felt like that was a fair timing on
that. Um, so that that yeah, that was 45
minutes. That was good. And then uh
the next highlighted things are it
wasn't it wasn't clear the key fob cost
is very minimal, but we've never really
charged it because it wasn't clear if
that's only for nonprofits or if that's
only for profit groups or if that's for
everybody. Uh we agreed it should be for
all groups that should there should be a
key fob deposit of the like the $4 or
$7. Very nominal, but it does cost to
replace these things and it helps us to
really make sure who has them. So just
accuracy. Um I stressed to the group
that the board's main priority was
security. We were not looking to nickel
and dime our community centers to be
able to to make a buck. are we want to
be responsible with our facilities, but
we also wanted to make sure that
security was at the forefront. This is
this is a very different time we live
in. And so that that you'll see that
throughout here.
all right. So then there's more about
approval for event request. I
highlighted facilities director
designate because we weren't quite sure
a name of that. So, we chose that um
because we don't have a facilities
director. Um
uh we kept that you can't advertise
until you have approval. Um
and I'm including um when you're per
district policies, um there's to be no
smoking or alco alcoholic beverages. I
included vaping in that. We cannot have
vaping on the property or in our
facilities. Um
uh we are requesting that every every
representative group have a person
listed in the scheduler who was current
CPR AED certification.
That's not a problem for the recck
departments whatsoever. They all have
that. Um so there might be other groups
that we need to make sure they know
this, but again safety is our first
concern. So that they they had no
problem saying absolutely. That's that's
an easy one. Um, here is the piece that
gets
squishy.
And I will tell you that this was kind
of the piece that I was kind of most
excited at hearing the con like once I
put this out there. This is this was my
suggestion. This was edited completely
by them and that was just fun. I just
really kind of enjoyed that. Okay. On
weekends and days when school is not in
regular session, external groups are
required to designate a person to be
responsible for security. This person or
persons must be listed in the
application with their cell phone
number. They will be expected to monitor
the doors to allow entrance and monitor
foyers or other accessible areas. When
minors are present, they are required to
have an adult supervision at all times
at a minimum of a 1:15 ratio basis. That
last sentence was always in our policy.
It was very clearly not paid attention
to. And so I want that highlighted.
There should never be a time that a
minor is unmonitored
in in a in a public area. Okay. Um
then seasonal custodial support fee for
the months of November through March on
regular session. A custodial support fee
of two hours, $90 will be charged once
per week of use to offset the costs of
extra cleaning during potential snow,
mud, and sand tracking. If multiple
groups use the facilities within the
week of the fee will be split between
the groups. The district reserves the
white to right to wave custodial fees
without board approval.
That last sentence was important. So,
that paragraph really was the rest of
the half an hour of this meeting. Um
it was very clear from administration
that we need extra custodial time during
winter months. There's too much sand.
There's too much stuff being tracked in.
The custodians are busy. We do not have
weekend custodians.
So
uh any [clears throat] extra time we
give a staff member overtime over those
hours needs to be per um labor
department has to be two hours of pay.
And so that's where the 90 came from.
And then that last sentence was
important. We had a lot of discussion
about the fact that Jaffrey
has facilities that our district uses
substantially. Human Field main one, but
Jaffrey Recck Department and Town have
facilities that we use. and we are given
priority on those facilities, not just
use. So they schedule around our
requests for that. And they felt that
does that mean that we need to be
charging you for all the times we hire
somebody to clean the bathrooms, do the
lawns, do all this. And we said yes,
charge us, we charge you. And both
Heather and Sam came back and said
what's always worked is thisou that
we've had with Jaffrey where it's a quid
pro. I mean we're we're just helping
each other out. So we're not charging
for here but we're not charging for
there either. And so it even though we
have a heavier usage, they feel like
that's fair. And Sam uses a school for
basketball six Saturdays in the winter.
That's it. And so she's like, I don't
want to charge you guys. Like, I don't
want to I don't want to have to deal
with that. I'm busy. I don't want to
have to deal with that.
So that's where we put the sentence. The
district reserves the right to wave
custodial fees without board approval.
Now, in KF, it says the board has to
approve all changes. But by putting this
in, I think that covers us. I don't
think they have to come to us for
waving of fees. if they're working out
between them a a comfortable agreement,
we the board a present felt like this is
this is appropriate. This is a good way
to do it. Plus, it puts the
communication where it has to be. It
doesn't have to be with us. Those kind
of things can be worked out internally
and we'll only build better community by
doing so. They can always come to us or
the superintendent if there's an issue.
Here is where we might want to add an
addendum to that as well though because
uh John Frederick who wasn't able to be
at that part of the meeting emailed uh a
letter to us that I forwarded to you
guys just saying that
recognizing that this was a lot of work.
He understands the need for fees, but
the currentou that Jaffrey has
recognizes that handshake and they
haven't had to come to us for for
waiverss because of that. And they don't
have to worry about this whole charging
thing or about asking for a waiver like
this is an agreement they've made and
they feel both Heather and David and the
town of Jaffrey feel confident in that
agreement. theou has been standing in
place for a long time. So, I'm wondering
if we want to add a sentence here and
just say
um something about if if the town and
the district agree to anou
a memorandum of understanding
then then that supersedes
the need for any waiver or feed or
feebased system. Or do you want to stick
with this?
>> So Judy, you're the only one who has a
squishy face. Go ahead.
>> Yeah, because I mean I just feel as
though making this agreement with
Jeffrey is going to make Ring feel bad
and I
don't
think it's a good idea. It's just my
feeling. Um, if if we're going to wave
it for Jaffrey, we kind of need to do it
for a range because
I I think what you did when you were all
sitting at the meeting and you created
the document was great, but having some
something come in today at the tail end
with, you know, we don't want to pay it
because we, you know, give all these
facilities to the school. Well, they're
actually giving it to the town children.
And you know, it just can I I just think
that we're just going to come back and
feel offended. That's just fine.
>> My has the opportunity to sign an M,
too, though. So,
>> well, I'm not I'm just I'm not going to
go into details and they could do this,
they could do that. So, I'm just saying
I think they're going to feel offended
and it's gonna
>> ruin the balance.
It's just my impression.
>> Yeah. I've never agreed with period.
That's, you know, I just think we're as
a community, we don't have to have a
FIFA. I mean, we spend money on a lot of
things that, but now we're going to pick
on this $90.
I don't know.
>> I think it's
unwarranted person.
>> It's a It's a very small fee, especially
since it's only during November through
March. And there's a discussion that it
can be divided up between there's a line
that it can be divided up between the
extra groups. So during basketball
season you might have what's called the
oh boy the Soagan league
maybe and the man I don't know there's
two two different leagues right so
they could divide that up. They could
split up that $90 fee and it's just a
it's a week. It wouldn't even
>> No, we we could spend hours and hours on
this $90 fee when we're wasting money
elsewhere,
>> right?
>> That would more than make up a $90. I
mean 90 we're looking like like like
this. That's what we're doing.
>> That's my opinion.
>> So where does you mentioned it was for
the community. Where does the community
boundary land for you? Because the recck
department doesn't just serve range,
doesn't just serve Jaffrey. There's new
whip switch kids coming in. There's
other towns kids coming in. So tell me
like and this isn't just for rec
department. This is for other groups as
well.
>> I agree with the letter that came in
that Jeffrey should never pay anything.
I mean, they're more than generous.
Okay. But I do agree with what Judy's
saying is that now we're gonna say,
"Okay, well Ren, you got to pay because
you didn't provide this, but Jaffrey
doesn't have to pay."
>> Yeah, it's gonna
>> I don't know. Is it really worth it all?
That's just my
>> I I agree. I agree. We're not charging
Jaffrey.
>> But I think Jeffrey should absolutely
not have to pay anything. Period.
>> So what happens then? Let's just play
this all the way out. If
what happens if Jaffrey decides that
they should start charging us?
>> Well, then it would change.
>> We would be
we would you can see the hours that we
use.
>> Oh, absolutely. I mean, they're being
extremely generous. I don't think for
any reason they should ever have. This
shouldn't never even been an issue with
Jaffrey, period. But I just think it's a
community. It's like I don't know. Rich
pays more taxes than Jeffrey to the
school. So, but yet we say
>> that's going to cause bad feelings.
That's
>> just
>> that's just my feeling.
>> All right. So, with the custodial
support fee, that is the only place
where there is a fee
other than the if a profit group comes
in, then we charge for their pieces. So
let's take a vote
to keep first first we'll do a vote of
the rema Okay so the remaining of the
pro of the of the policy goes on to um
stressing that all attendees are
required to wear soft soldled athletic
shoes and we did talk about that
Christine um that's always been in the
policy and so we stress that with them
that that is the expectation
um and then uh at the very bottom.
We needed a way to make some
consequences actionable
>> because currently the policy doesn't
really say, well, what if they don't do
this? And so the end uh we wrote
infractions pertaining to the above
requirements resulting in an
administrative recommendation of denial
of future use shall be brought to the
superintendent for decision. Appeals may
be made to the school school board. So,
we added that sentence and we all agreed
to that as a way of saying if somebody
needs to be asked to leave and to stop
using this, then the superintendent
makes the call, they can appeal to us
and we'll have a kind of a hearing on
that. Okay,
>> no problem.
>> All right. So,
the custodial fees,
if we the custodians need to work extra,
we will be paying that money to them as
a district should we take this off. So
that's that's simply a given that we
will be paying more money to take care
of our facilities with no
recompense. Like so that's what we're
saying. That's what this vote is saying
to get rid of the paragraph saying
seasonal custodian support fee. And I
put an asterisk here because I knew this
was a big thing. Okay. So that's why
there's an asterisk there. So
>> but we're just talking for wreck
departments. We're not saying for every
single outside
>> just for
>> No, no, that's not that's not what we're
saying.
>> I'm just asking.
>> No, we're saying for any nonprofits.
>> Okay. Nonprofits.
>> Nonprofits.
>> Yeah. We don't we not separating by
because that's we haven't talked about
Cub Scouts and all that. So, this is
nonprofit.
>> So, the Cub Scouts will not be charged a
custodial fee either regardless of how
many kids are running wild and parents
are there and all that.
>> Yep. Well, they're not going to be
running one because we're going to have
someone supervis.
>> I hope this works.
>> Yeah, they [laughter] will.
>> Yes. I hope this works.
>> All right. Um, does this include
I want to include just a sentence. I
believe the key fobs need a deposit.
>> I don't have a problem with any of that.
judge.
If you want,
>> then what we're going to vote for is
changing
not not adding theou language that John
Frederick suggested. We're going to
simply take off the fee of the seasonal
custodian support fee that paragraph.
>> So all in favor raise Let me see how to
do this fairly. We're going to do a I
This is a big thing. So I'm going to do
a voice vote. So, uh, for if you are in
favor,
you can say I. If you oppose, say nay.
If you abstain, just say abstain. Okay.
>> If we're in favor of what?
>> Favor of removing.
>> Okay. Remove.
>> Seasonal custodial fee.
>> Paragraph.
>> All right. Jared,
>> Ally, I say it again.
>> No.
>> No. So Jared said I. I just don't want
to make I want to make sure Zoom's got
it on here. So Jared said I. Ally said
no.
>> Sandy said I. Christine.
>> Wang on. Christine said I.
>> Wait.
>> That you're in favor of removing it.
Christine.
>> Christine is not backwards.
>> Christine is not in favor. Are you
keeping track of this?
>> I know.
>> Go ahead. Keep track of it. Are you
keeping track? Okay. Christine said no.
Dan
>> Judy
>> I and I say no. So where does that get
us?
>> 33, right?
>> 43.
>> Oh, 43. That's right.
>> The
>> just for just for clarifi
indicated you were for the amendment,
correct?
>> By removing
>> that you wanted to remove
>> I want to remove that paragraph.
>> But the season is no.
>> So yes, no. Yes. No. No. Yes. Yes. Okay.
All right. So, the paragraph is removed
and that leaves the remaining policy. We
do not need to uh go back to theou. But
if John wants theou just this has new
language, so we can I'll let you guys
work through that if if he needs to. But
the fees are taken off, which was his
big concern.
>> Well, what would have happened anyway
with the line the district reserves a
right to wave custodial fees,
>> right? We would have waved custodial
fees if we had anouou in place with
someone. We've had a great relationship
with that. Theou is absolutely the best
way to go with any sort of group. Any
group that we have anou with that
clearly defines um each other's roles
and responsibilities and we've had to
negotiate and work with one another in a
collaborative manner is always the
healthiest process. It would be great to
do that. That's not where we're at.
That's fine. And so, um, we will
continue certainly, um, the relationship
that we've had and I hope that we can
create some, uh, stronger relationships
with the town of Fringe as well with
anou in various ways so that we can help
them in their community as well as they
can help us more.
>> Okay. All right. So, now what I would
love to do is approve KFR and have this
in the books. Is that cool? All right.
So, a motion to approve KFR as amended.
>> I'll make a motion to approve KFR as
amended.
>> Thank you, Dan. Is there a second?
>> Second.
>> Thank you, Sandy. All in favor say I.
>> Opposed? Abstain. Passes 700. Thank you
everybody. We'll see you next year with
this one.
>> Hopefully, it works well.
>> Yeah. All right. Um, we're going to skip
the second reading until next uh next
sessions and action items. Authorized
signers for student activities bank
accounts. Is there a motion to approve
the authorized signers for these bank
accounts for Jaffrey grade school?
>> Enrange Memorial School.
>> Enridge Memorial School.
>> Thank you, Sandy. It's Enridge Memorial.
Okay. Sorry, I didn't I thought you said
Okay. I need a motion. I will make a
motion to approve the new authorized
bank signers for the Jaffrey grade
school and Ringe Memorial School student
activity accounts.
>> Thank you, Christine. Thank you, Jared.
>> I. I. Opposed, abstain. Great. I know it
ended discussion. Seems pretty pretty
basic. All right. This one's exciting.
Unassigned funds balance retainage.
>> So, I am going to um
ask us to table this until the next
time. I don't think I think there's we
should discuss it. Um only because uh I
got some information as we were here
that it is going to be off by a few
dollars and so I want to make sure that
we up to up to $200. So I want to make
sure that we are as accurate as possible
but in general basically what the
unassigned fund balance uh is is uh
$83,538.
that is um better than anticipated.
That does include um
a little over $400,000 and extra revenue
that we did not anticipate getting. Uh
and then some
uh student services situations where
hiring
uh fewer individuals along with we had
some high uh expense we'll call it
placements that um partway through the
year did not need to be spent. So that
made up the majority of this amount of
money here. Um about half of it was was
the unanticipated
well by definition not unanticipated
revenue revenues that we anticipated
were but they were higher than
anticipated.
>> Good.
>> And so you'll have to decide what you
want to do with that. And at the next
board meeting, we'll need to do that
because we'll need to also, depending on
what you do with this number, we'll have
to um adjust the MS25.
>> Um because depending where you put this
83,000,
it's going to be in a different line.
>> Will we need any kind of a public
hearing to retain these funds?
you would need a public hearing to use
the funds if you retained them.
>> So,
>> all right. I guess that's what I was
asking. Thank you.
>> I have a question on that. If you
retain, you can retain up to 5% of that.
Now, when you achieve that number,
>> 5% of the of the net assessment. Yes.
>> Then the next year goes by, can you
exceed that number or do you get a you
balance that 5% period?
>> 5% of the net assessment of that of
that. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. You can't then
like for instance if you had another one
of
>> you wouldn't be able to
>> add another 800,000 next year for
instance that would be well over that.
Yes.
[clears throat]
>> Where where would a few areas of that
400 excess in revenue be coming from?
>> Uh a couple mostly from student
services. Uh that's special education.
>> And so within that you're talking about
I have to I have to be careful how I
report this. So uh so that I'm not
identifying people. Um
we have sometimes we have out of
district out of district placements.
Um, and if someone moves out of the
district or if they age out, you know,
uh, because we're responsible until
their 22nd birthday now, so all the way
through their 21 their 21 years, uh, or
if you know, graduate or or what have
you, if they um don't need those
services,
then um that money does not get spent.
So within that realm, that happened,
that took place. And out of district
placements can range uh along with
transportation
>> um from you know 100,000
120,000 and then of course all the way
to a residential placement up to about
half a million or more. So um
that that transpired and then also we uh
did have some hiring challenges mostly
in the area of student services parah
educators
and um that adds up if you have some
that you were unable to hire. Um, and in
years past
we've had an inability to hire uh
teachers as well, but that has not
>> Yeah. Yeah. I I see where it says
unfilled positions. I was just wondering
about the 400 and
>> Yeah,
>> that's labeled as revenue.
>> Oh, and the 400 labeled as revenue is
going to be across the board. Yeah.
Largely special education revenue coming
in.
>> Yeah. So for an example that might be
reimbursements, right? Reimbursements
considered a revenue.
>> So for instance, uh there have been some
years where we got less revenue than
anticipated. We we budget kind of the a
like an average. We don't go too low, we
don't go too high. Um because we don't
want to get in trouble. You know, I'd
rather have this situation than the
opposite, right? So, um, the special ed
revenue came in higher than
we have seen in the past few years.
Couple years ago, it came in very low.
That was not good.
>> All right.
So, we'll wait and table that for the
next meeting. And then uh last we have
requested away facility fees. Should be
the last time we see this for a while.
Um but let's go ahead and approve them.
This is for youth karate for the RMS gym
and adult pickup basketball. And so
we'll take a motion to wave these
facility fees even though it's moot, but
let's do it.
>> I'll make the motion to wave the fees
for youth crowing adult pickup
basketball.
>> Thank you, Ally. Is there a second?
>> Thank you, Judy. All in favor say I.
>> Opposed? abstain. That's a 700 Z. Now we
are on to our second part of public
comments.
And is there anybody on the floor that
would like to speak?
Okay. Anybody online that would like to
speak?
All right. I would like to as a member
of the public say how incredibly
grateful I am for that um meeting that
we had with the community members to
hash out facilities use. Um it was
thoroughly respectful. There were people
there that had never met each other. Um
there has been so much um
talk back and forth without sitting in
the same room and we just needed to be
in the same room, see each other's faces
and really hash out uh details on how we
can work together to to um accommodate
all of our families. Um and it was just
it was very powerful for me. I I was
really really pleased and I was grateful
that Sandy and Ally, you guys came. I
don't know if you have any um final word
on that or
>> No, that it was just good to put faces
to names. I think you know we get emails
a lot from folks and just being able to
sit in the same room and have
conversations and kind of get to know
each other through that process. It was
good.
>> I like it.
>> Good. Well, thank you guys. All right.
If there's no more public comments,
anybody there? Okay. Um then we are the
agenda says we're going to adjourn to a
non-public work session. Um it's
actually a nonmeating
uh is what it's called. It's not a
non-public but we are going to have to
go to a very brief non-public session.
Come back and close out our public
session and then go to our non meeting.
So we will be back in just a couple
minutes but we're going to run to a
non-public. So we need uh to move to a
non-public. Uh, somebody make a motion.
>> I make a motion that we move to Wait, we
don't have to
>> non-public for purposes for of what?
>> I'll second.
>> Reuben, what's the purpose of our
nonpublic?
>> It's personnel.
>> Personnel. Okay,
>> I make that motion.
>> Thank you, Sandy. And there's a second.
Dan.
>> Okay. Thank you. All in favor? Uh Jared?
>> Ally. I.
>> Sandy.
>> Christine. Hi,
>> Dan.
>> Judy. I
>> And I say I. Okay. We will be right
back.
So, do you want me to leave this until
we come back or we're done? The
>> We're done because we're going to You'll
probably want to
>> Okay. So, for those who are watching, um
there will be no more business. They're
going to go to non-public session. It
will be short. They and then we'll come
back and close out the non-public. So, I
mean close out the public session. Um
but all business in public apart from
adjourning is complete.
