LIGHT UP. YES. WONDERFUL. OKAY, SO FIRST OF ALL, AT LEBANON, WE'VE BEEN WELCOMING A HUGE WAVE OF FRESHMEN WITH NEARLY 540 STUDENTS AT THE START OF THE YEAR. THESE FRESHMEN GOT THEIR FIRST INTRODUCTION TO THE YEAR THROUGH CLUB RUSH, WHERE EVERY CLUB OFFERED AT LHS SET UP POSTER BOARDS TO TRY AND CONVINCE STUDENTS TO JOIN. WE WELCOMED A FEW NEW CLUBS THIS YEAR, INCLUDING THE ALS CLUB AND DEBATE CLUB, WHICH LEADS ME TO TALK ABOUT THE FIELD TRIP THAT THE YOUTH AND GOVERNMENT CLUB WAS ABLE TO TAKE TO THIS VERY BUILDING, WHERE WE HEARD FROM REPRESENTATIVES AT UTC'S BAKER SCHOOL AND FORMER GOVERNOR LAMAR ALEXANDER, WHO SHARED SOME WORDS OF WISDOM. THE YOUTH AND GOVERNMENT CLUB IS ALSO PREPARING FOR THE MODEL UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE IN NOVEMBER. AS FOR SPORTS CLUBS, VOLLEYBALL, BOYS GOLF AND GIRLS SOCCER ARE MAKING US PROUD WITH MAJOR WINS. VOLLEYBALL ESPECIALLY IS SITTING NUMBER ONE IN THE DISTRICT, AND GIRLS SOCCER IS GOING INTO THE DISTRICT TOURNAMENT AS THIRD SEED.

AS FAR AS COUNTY WIDE CLUBS, THE MAYOR'S YOUTH COUNCIL IS RUNNING FOR THEIR FIRST YEAR IN OPERATION AND HAVE RECEIVED 62 APPLICATIONS, WITH LEBANON STUDENTS REPRESENTING THE LARGEST DELEGATION. WE'VE ALREADY HAD OUR HAD OUR ORIENTATION WHERE SENATOR CODY, MAYOR HUTTO AND OUR OWN MISTER MAYFIELD WERE KIND ENOUGH TO COME AND SPEAK WITHIN THE ARTS. 30 STUDENTS FROM THE LHS, FROM LHS AUDITIONED FOR MID-STATE AND 15 ADVANCED. OLIVIA DERRICK SPECIFICALLY HAD THE TOP SCORE IN LEBANON AND WAS THIRD CHAIR IN THE ALTO SECTION. THE THEATER CLUB IS ALSO HOSTING THE FALL PLAY SENSE AND SENSIBILITY ON NOVEMBER 5TH THROUGH EIGHTH. ASIDE FROM CLUBS, WE'VE RECENTLY HELD OUR HOMECOMING DANCE WHERE DJ DEXTER REALLY LIT UP THE DANCE FLOOR AND PARADE, WHERE BUNCHES OF CAREFULLY CRAFTED FLOATS WERE DISPLAYED TO THE PUBLIC, AND EACH CLASS COMPETED FOR BEST FLOAT PRIZE, WHICH WAS EVENTUALLY WON BY THE JUNIORS. ACADEMICALLY, SENIORS ARE READYING FOR THEIR PSAT AND ACT RETAKE WITH HELP FROM THE ACT BOOTH BOOT CAMP OFFERED BY LEBANON AND FRIDAY ACT PREP FOCUS BLOCKS. AND FINALLY, THREE STUDENTS FROM LHS ARE PREPARING ABSTRACTS AND PRESENTATIONS OF THEIR RESEARCH FINDINGS TO PRESENT TO THE TN ACADEMY OF SCIENCE AT CUMBERLAND THIS MONTH. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS? I WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOU THAT MISS HUDDLE ALSO SERVED ON THE CALENDAR COMMITTEE, SO THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT. SHE REPRESENTED HERSELF VERY WELL AT. ALL. RIGHT. I'M GOING TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT WITH A COUPLE QUESTIONS. OKAY? OKAY. ONE, WHAT'S YOUR WHAT'S YOUR SO FAR? WHAT'S YOUR FONDEST MEMORY BEEN WHILE YOU'VE BEEN AT LEBANON HIGH SCHOOL? WHAT'S THE THING THAT STICKS OUT THE MOST? IF SOMEBODY ASKED YOU ABOUT YOUR TIME THERE, THAT IS VERY DIFFICULT. OH, I ALL FOUR YEARS I'VE PARTICIPATED IN YOUTH AND GOVERNMENT. SO DEFINITELY MY ANY OF THE CONFERENCES THAT I'VE BEEN TO, THERE'S TWO PER YEAR. SO ALL OF THOSE ARE REALLY FUN. AND I LIKE TO DEBATE. SO THAT'S A BIG PART OF WHAT IT IS. SO IT'S, IT'S VERY FUN. OKAY. AND MY, MY LAST QUESTION IS, WHAT WOULD, IF YOU COULD GO BACK AND TALK TO YOUR FRESHMAN SELF, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY? I WOULD SAY TO TAKE MY CLASSES MORE SERIOUSLY AND TAKE A LOT MORE APPS. I FIND MYSELF TRYING TO SQUISH A LOT OF APPS IN NOW CLASSES THAT I COULD HAVE TAKEN A LONG TIME AGO. SO THAT'S DEFINITELY WHAT I TELL MYSELF IS TAKE MORE APPS. WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT. VERY IMPRESSIVE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPORT. I KNOW MR. TOMLINSON IS NOT HERE, BUT HE'D APPRECIATE ALL THE ACCOLADES FOR THE ATHLETIC EVENTS GOING ON AT THE BLUE DEVIL, YOU KNOW, BLUE DEVIL. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WHEN YOU GROW UP? I WOULD LIKE TO BE AN ATTORNEY.

IT INCLUDES OUR CURRENT ENROLLMENT 20,629, WHICH IS HOLDING STEADY. YOU ALSO HAVE ATTENDANCE REPORTS FOR STUDENTS. ONE THING I WANT TO POINT OUT OPEN ENROLLMENT WILL BE NOVEMBER 1ST THROUGH DECEMBER 1ST. THIS YEAR, WE WILL BE SENDING INFORMATION OUT IN REGARDS TO HOW PARENTS AND STUDENTS CAN MAKE APPLICATION FOR OPEN ENROLLMENT. I WILL BRING THOSE AVAILABLE SEAT NUMBERS TO YOU AT THE NEXT BOARD MEETING OCTOBER 15TH AS WELL. ONE QUICK QUESTION ON OPEN ENROLLMENT. ARE WE KEEPING THE SAME PERCENTAGE? YES. YES. OKAY. YES. OKAY. OH, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT TOTAL IN THE SCHOOL YEAR. WELL, YEAH. LIKE IF IT'S ABOVE 90%, WE'RE NOT WE'RE NOT GOING TO ALLOW OPEN ENROLLMENT. BUT IF IT'S BELOW, WE WILL. OKAY. AND I WILL BRING YOU WHICH SCHOOLS ARE OPEN, HOW MANY SEATS ARE AVAILABLE AT THE NEXT BOARD, AND YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH 90% BEING THE THRESHOLD. OKAY. YES. THERE AT YOUR STATION YOU DO HAVE CALENDARS FOR THE 27, 28 AND 28, 29 SCHOOL YEARS. I WILL BRING THOSE AS A RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD OCTOBER 15TH FOR APPROVAL, BUT I WANT TO GO AHEAD AND GIVE YOU THOSE TO YOU.NOW, DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CALENDAR? THEY'RE ONLY PRESENTING ONE FOR EACH YEAR. NOT A CHOICE FOR US TO LOOK AT. THEY MADE A RECOMMENDATION OF THAT ONE.
OKAY. BECAUSE IN THE PAST, I KNOW THERE'S BEEN A COUPLE OR THREE FOR US TO LOOK THROUGH. I THINK WHAT, WHAT, WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND, IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS TONIGHT, THAT'S FINE.
BUT YOU'VE GIVEN US THIS. IF WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT OTHER BOARD MEMBERS AREN'T HERE, GET IT.
I'M GOING TO EMAIL IT TO EVERYBODY THIS EVENING. AND THEN AS WE LOOK THROUGH IT TO EMAIL YOU WITH QUESTIONS. BUT OF COURSE, AS WE REACH OUT TO OUR CONSTITUENTS, THINGS COME UP. IF THERE IS SOME KIND OF PROPOSED CHANGES OR AMENDMENTS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE, AT LEAST MAYBE GIVE YOU SOME TIME TO COME UP WITH SOME KIND OF SECOND VERSION, POSSIBLY, I DON'T KNOW. I KNOW IT'LL BE TOUGH AND HARD, BUT THE QUICKER WE CAN GET YOU THAT INFORMATION, THE BETTER. SO THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING THIS, SIR. ALSO, YOU HAVE AN INSURANCE SURVEY RESULTS. SO YOU HAVE A SUMMARY HERE OF THE RESPONSES THAT WE GOT. I THINK IT WAS 900 AND ABOUT 950. I WILL SEND YOU ALL OF THE RAW DATA AS WELL. YOU WILL GET ALL OF THE COMMENTS THAT EMPLOYEES MADE. AND THERE IS THE RAW DATA AS FAR AS ACTUALLY THE PERCENTAGES OF ANSWERS TO EACH QUESTION. SO YOU'LL GET THAT AS WELL. I WILL BRING YOU A NEXT STEP. TIMELINE PROPOSAL AT THE OCTOBER 15TH BOARD MEETING. I'M GOING TO SAVE THE CONSTRUCTION OF FACILITIES UPDATE WHEN WE GET INTO RECOMMENDATIONS, BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE MOST OF THE INFORMATION IS, THE SCREENAGERS EVENT. THERE'S INFORMATION IN REGARDS TO THAT. TASTE OF WILSON COUNTY WILL BE OCTOBER 22ND, 530 TO 8. REMEMBER, THOSE PROCEEDS GO TOWARDS THE TEACHER GRANTS THAT THE CHAMBER PROVIDES EACH YEAR. WHAT ARE YOU COOKING? I DON'T KNOW YET.
I HAVE TO DRAW NEXT WEEK OR THE WEEK AFTER, I CAN'T REMEMBER, BUT I WILL BE PRESENT AND GRILLING. THEN YOU HAVE INFORMATION ON OUR FOOTBALL SCHEDULES AND THEN UPDATES FROM DEPUTY DIRECTORS. MR. ADAMS CAN BE HERE TONIGHT. HIS GRANDMOTHER ACTUALLY PASSED AWAY YESTERDAY. OH, I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT, DOCTOR KOPPEL. YES. I LEAD A DISTRICT STRATEGIC PLAN. GOALS ON YOUR EACH ONE OF YOUR SEATS. EACH YEAR. WE ARE REQUIRED BY LAW TO GET FEEDBACK ON OUR TESSA ACCOUNTABILITY REPORTS. AND THIS IS A PART OF IT IS TO HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT AND PUBLIC FEEDBACK ON OUR GOALS THAT WE SET EACH YEAR. SO WE HAVE FIVE GOALS. ONE IS REQUIRED, WHICH IS THE THIRD GRADE PROFICIENCY FOR THIRD GRADE ELA. SO YOU WILL SEE THAT
[00:15:03]
OVER THIS, THIS LAST YEAR WE HIT 57.5. OUR GOAL OVER THE THREE YEAR PERIOD WILL BE TO REACH 59.4. I WILL TELL YOU, BASED UPON OUR GOALS FOR LAST YEAR, WE EXCEEDED EVERY GOAL IN ONE YEAR LAST YEAR. SO WE SET A NEW BASELINE FOR THIS YEAR. WE HAD SOME TREMENDOUS GAINS LAST YEAR, SO OUR GOALS HAVE KIND OF RESET. SO THIS IS A THREE YEAR GOAL. OUR SECOND GOAL IS AROUND JUST ELA ACHIEVEMENT AND MOVING THAT PROFICIENCY FROM 56.1 TO 63.8 AND MAINTAINING THAT LEVEL OF LITERACY GROWTH. MATH HAS A SIMILAR GOAL OF MOVING FROM 56% TO 63.7 AND MAINTAINING THAT LEVEL FIVE. YOU ALSO HAVE SOME PRIORITIES THAT WE HAVE IDENTIFIED THAT WE WANT TO CLOSE SOME GAPS FOR SOME PARTICULAR SUBGROUPS, AND ALSO IN THAT MATH WORK ON OUR ACT, BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THAT IS ONE OF THE LOWER SCORING SUBGROUPS OR SUBTESTS ON THE ACT IS MATH. STRENGTHEN OUR CAREER AND COLLEGE READINESS. THAT'S OUR CCR RATE. THAT INCLUDES ACT IPSOS, ASVAB SCORES, LOCAL DUAL CREDIT INDUSTRY CREDENTIALS. AND WE MADE A LARGE GAIN THIS PAST YEAR TO 70%. WE'RE VERY PROUD OF THAT. SO OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS, WE DO WANT TO CONTINUE TO MOVE THAT RATE TO 75.5 CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM. WE ALSO SAW A DECREASE IN THAT IN THE PAST YEAR. WE WANT TO CONTINUE WITH THAT DECREASE RATE DOWN TO 12.5 OVER THAT THREE YEAR PERIOD. WE'VE IDENTIFIED KINDERGARTEN AND OUR SENIORS AS OUR WHICH BEGINNING AND END. THOSE ARE OUR AREAS WHERE WE SEE THE HIGHEST CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM RATES. SO WE ARE TRYING TO TARGET BOTH OF THOSE AREAS TO HAVE SOME INCENTIVES TO ENSURE THAT WE GET THOSE KIDS IN SCHOOL. MISS EMILY, WE MIGHT BE CHECKING ON WITH YOU TO MAKE SURE WHAT WHAT WE COULD DO TO HELP WITH THAT. BUT DOWN AT THE BOTTOM, YOU CAN LINK TO THAT FULL STRATEGIC PLAN. AND THE QR CODE TAKES YOU TO A SURVEY WHERE YOU CAN TAKE A SURVEY TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON THE GOALS. TELL US WHAT YOU PRIORITIZE ANY COMMUNITY, ANY COMMUNITY MEMBER CAN PARTICIPATE IN THE SURVEY. I'VE TALKED WITH BART. BART'S GOING TO GET THIS OUT FOR US ON ALL OF OUR SOCIAL MEDIA SITES AND OUR WEBSITE TOMORROW, SO BUT WE WANTED TO PUT IT IN YOUR HANDS FIRST BEFORE WE RELEASE IT TO THE PUBLIC, BUT THIS WILL GO OUT TOMORROW. MISS OWENS. THE ONLY THING I HAVE IS MELISSA LYNN HAD ASKED FOR SOME INFORMATION ABOUT RETIREES, AND THAT INFORMATION IS IN THAT PACKET THAT YOU HAVE. IT'S A ONE PAGER. MR. SEBASTIAN. I PROVIDED YOU THE MONTHLY REPORT THAT I GAVE YOU ALL FOR THE SELF-INSURANCE FUND. FIRST, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THE BOARD MEMBERS WHO WERE ABLE TO ATTEND ON TUESDAY NIGHT. THE THE MEETING, I THINK IT WAS VERY INFORMATIVE. A LOT OF GOOD INFORMATION THAT AARON PRESENTED. SO THANK YOU ALL FOR THOSE WHO WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT.SELF-INSURANCE FUND MONTH OF SEPTEMBER. AS YOU ALL KNOW, PART OF THE BUDGET AMENDMENT THAT I PRESENTED IN SEPTEMBER INCLUDED THE $3 MILLION EARMARK OUT OF GENERAL PURPOSE SCHOOL FUND FUND BALANCE. SO I WENT AHEAD AND DID ALL OF THAT. SO ESSENTIALLY FOR THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER, WE HAD A TOTAL REVENUES INTO THE SELF-INSURANCE FUND OF $5.7 MILLION. OUR TOTAL EXPENSES FOR THE MONTH WAS 3.9 MILLION. ACTUALLY, LET'S ROUND UP TO 4 MILLION BECAUSE WE'RE ONLY $3,000 AWAY FROM 4 MILLION. SO OUR EXPENSES WERE RIGHT AT 4 MILLION. SO THE PROFIT FOR THE MONTH WAS 1.7 MILLION. WHEN YOU COMPARE DIRECT REVENUES TO DIRECT EXPENSES ON THAT, ON THE SECOND PAGE, YOU CAN SEE THAT OUR CASH AVAILABLE AS OF NINE 37.9 MILLION. SO WE'VE GOT ABOUT $8 MILLION OF CASH RESERVES, SELF-INSURANCE FUND.
THAT'S TYPICALLY WHERE IT FLOWS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR ON THAT. YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM. THE ONLY OTHER PIECE OF INFORMATION THAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU IS A SURVEY PARENT SURVEY THAT WILL GO OUT TOMORROW IN ORDER TO GAUGE SOME FEEDBACK FROM OUR PARENTS IN REGARDS TO SCHOOL SAFETY, LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS, COMMUNICATION, AND THINGS LIKE THAT. I WILL HAVE THAT DATA COMPILED FOR OUR BOARD RETREAT IN OCTOBER. SO I'LL BRING THAT TO YOU AS WELL. IS THIS SOMETHING YOU DO THIS EVERY YEAR? YES. OKAY. IT'S IN OUR STRATEGIC PLAN. IT'S NICE. YEAH. JUST A GAUGE. SO THEN WE CAN MOVE OUR. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I WILL SAY SOMETHING ON REGARDS TO THOSE CALENDARS. SO THERE WAS A LOT OF DISCUSSION IN REGARDS TO THAT. I WASN'T AWARE THAT WE NEEDED MULTIPLE CALENDARS. SO ONE THING YOU CAN
[00:20:01]
LOOK AT IS IF YOU WANT TO ADD A DAY OFF ANYWHERE, YOU'RE GOING TO EITHER ADD A DAY ON TO SCHOOL OR YOU HAVE TO TRADE IT OUT, OR YOU HAVE TO TAKE AWAY A. INCLEMENT WEATHER DAY. SO KEEP THAT IN MIND. I JUST NOW GLANCING AT IT, ARE THERE? I MEAN, I STILL SEE LIKE A LONGER FALL BREAK THAN NORMAL. ARE THERE ANY BIG CHANGES? MAYBE I JUST NEED TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT TONIGHT. NO. THEY TRIED TO INCORPORATE ONE YEAR THE CALENDAR WORK OUT TO WHERE THE DAY AFTER HALLOWEEN WORKED OUT. PERFECT. ANOTHER ONE OF THE OTHER YEARS, I THINK IT WAS ELECTION DAY OR VETERANS DAY. WE'RE KIND OF BACK TO BACK BECAUSE IN IN ONE OF THE OTHER CALENDARS, VETERANS DAYS ON A SATURDAY. SO THE, THE COMMITTEE AS A WHOLE TRIED TO WORK THROUGH ALL THE DIFFERENT REQUESTS WHILE ALSO MAINTAINING AN ADEQUATE NUMBER OF STOCKPILE DAYS, INCLEMENT WEATHER DAYS. WE NEED TO HAVE NINE MINIMUM IS MY SUGGESTION. INCLEMENT WEATHER DAYS? YES. I'M SURE MR. BARKER WILL BE PUTTING THAT INFORMATION OUT TO AT SOME POINT, AND THEN IT WILL BE ON THE AGENDA TO VOTE IN ON OCTOBER 15TH. YEAH, I JUST YOU SEE, LIKE IN THE FALL BREAK, THEY TOOK THE FRIDAY BEFORE INSTEAD OF THE TUESDAY AFTER TO COME BACK. I, I THINK IT MAKES MAKES A LITTLE BIT MORE SENSE. SO OKAY, SO BARRING ANY MAJOR CHANGES, THIS IS THIS IS WHAT. YEAH. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. AND TO CONFIRM, YOU SAID WITH INCLEMENT WEATHER DATE, IT'S NOT MARKED ON HERE. RIGHT. AND HIGHLIGHTED. IF YOU LOOK AT THE BOTTOM AND THE ORANGE RED STOCKPILE DAY INCLEMENT, THOSE ARE THE SAME. THOSE SYNONYMOUS.THEN IF YOU LOOK AT THIS ORANGE BOX AT THE BOTTOM THAT TELLS YOU HOW MANY DAYS ARE AVAILABLE, LIKE IN THE 2728, YOU HAVE TEN INCLEMENT WEATHER DAYS AVAILABLE, BUT THE 2829 ONLY HAS NINE DAYS AVAILABLE. YES. STOCKPILE DAYS ARE. WE HAD A REPRESENTATIVE FROM LEBANON SPECIAL. HOW CLOSE ARE OUR CALENDARS? PRETTY CLOSE AS WE CAN GET, YOU KNOW, SOME OF SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE COMMUNITY WANTED. IT DOESN'T ALWAYS LINE UP WITH EVERYTHING THEY WANT TO DO, BUT THEY WERE INVOLVED. YES. HAVE THEY ALREADY MADE THEIR CALENDARS? I'M NOT AWARE. I THINK THEY HAVE A DRAFT. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'VE APPROVED IT OR NOT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? JUST OF COURSE, I'D LIKE TO ASK THE BOARD IF YOU DO HAVE ANY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CHANGES TO PLEASE GET THEM TO YOU AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, PLEASE. OKAY. AND I'LL MAKE SURE WHEN YOU EMAIL THAT OUT TO THE OTHER BOARD MEMBERS, LET THEM KNOW THAT TOO, PLEASE.
TONIGHT. OKAY. THANK YOU. ACTUALLY, I WILL INCLUDE ALL OF YOU. SO YOU ALL HAVE THERE'S GOING TO BE AN EMAIL WITH SEVERAL ATTACHMENTS. THERE'S A LOT RELATED TO THAT INSURANCE SURVEY. AND THEN YOU'VE GOT ALL THESE THREE FROM THESE, THE INFORMATION ON THE CALENDAR SURVEY, EVERYTHING THAT I'M HANDING OUT TONIGHT, YOU'LL GET A DIGITAL COPY BECAUSE THE ONES THAT ARE OKAY. SECOND, THANK YOU. MOTION TO ACCEPT THE DIRECTOR'S REPORT. I'LL MAKE THE MOTION. SECOND. MOTION. AND SECOND, MISS SHERRY, WE'RE READY TO VOTE.
[11.1 Recommendation to Approve Exchange Student - Spring Semester 2027 - MJHS]
UNANIMOUS. MOTION PASSES. UNANIMOUS FOUR ZERO. MOVING ON TO ITEM 11.1.RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE. STUDENT APPROVE EXCHANGE STUDENTS. SPRING SEMESTER 2027 FOR MOUNT JULIET HIGH SCHOOL. WE HAVE A MOTION MOTION TO APPROVE. I'LL SECOND ANY DISCUSSION. ALL RIGHT. WE'RE READY TO VOTE, MISS SHERRY.
MOTION PASSED FOUR ZERO. MOVING ON TO ITEM 11.2. RECOMMENDATIONS TO APPROVE
[11.2 Recommendation to Approve Change Order for Lakeview Renovation]
CHANGE OF ORDER FOR THE LAKE VIEW RENOVATION. DO I HAVE A MOTION? I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE. I HAVE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND. OKAY. SO WE DID HAVE EVEN A THIRD ROOFING CONTRACTOR COME OUT INDEPENDENT FROM THE OTHER TWO. THEIR RECOMMENDATION WAS DEFINITELY TO REPLACE THE DECKING ON THAT SECTION OF ROOF. THAT IS IN NEED. SO I'M MAKING A[00:25:06]
RECOMMENDATION THAT WE ACCEPT THE CHANGE ORDER. THERE WILL BE A BUDGET RECOMMENDATION. WE DO HAVE THE FUNDS TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. I FEEL LIKE IT IS THE BEST DECISION. I MEAN, IF WE'RE GOING TO SPEND 20 PLUS MILLION DOLLARS RENOVATING THAT BUILDING, WE NEED TO SPEND AN ADDITIONAL TWO AND A HALF IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A GOOD ROOF FOR THE DURATION. SO THAT IS MY RECOMMENDATION. SO I'M UNDERSTANDING THIS CORRECTLY. LAST WEEK WE TALKED THE LAST MEETING WE TALKED ABOUT, THERE'S A CHANCE WE CAN DO A REPAIR, WHICH WOULD BE A SIGNIFICANT SAVINGS OR GOING WITH THIS ONE. THE THIRD BID OR THE PERSON THAT CAME OUT LOOKED AT, WENT WITH NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE THING. THAT'S WHAT THEY SAID. AND THEY HAVE NO, THERE ARE NO SKIN IN THE GAME, RIGHT? THEY CAME OUT AS A COURTESY TO LOOK AT IT. PERFECT.ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FOR ME? NO OTHER QUESTIONS. WE'RE READY TO VOTE, MISS SHERRY.
[11.3 Recommendation to Approve Budget Amendment]
THE MOTION WAS APPROVE UNANIMOUS FOUR ZERO. MOVING ON TO ITEM 11.3 RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE BUDGET AMENDMENT. I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE. I HAVE A SECOND, SECOND MOTION IS SECOND BUDGET. YOU WANT TO WALK US THROUGH REAL QUICK, MR. SEBASTIAN, IF YOU WANT TO GO THROUGH THIS WITH HIM. YEAH. JUST TOP DOWN. AS ALWAYS, I'M REALLOCATING FUNDS FROM A COUPLE LINES TO SUPPORT SIX SPED EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANT POSITIONS. JUST THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, WE'VE BEEN HAVING AN INFLUX OF STUDENTS WHO NEED ADDITIONAL SUPPORT. AND SO JUST THINKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS, WE WANT TO GO AHEAD AND PUT SIX POSITIONS IN THE BUDGET JUST TO BE ABLE TO USE THEM UP AS NEEDED. SO THAT'S GOING TO REALLOCATE A LITTLE BIT OVER $235,000, BUT THAT WILL SUPPORT SIX POSITIONS WITH THE FRINGES. THE NEXT ITEM ON THERE IS MOVING AND ASSIGNING FUND BALANCE FOR THE LAKEVIEW ROOF REPLACEMENT, THE $2.5 MILLION THAT MR. MAYFIELD WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT. THAT WILL LEAVE AN ESTIMATED BETWEEN 41 AND $42 MILLION IN UNASSIGNED FUND BALANCE AND GENERAL PURPOSE SCHOOL FUND. SO THAT'S AFTER WE DID THE $3 MILLION FUND BALANCE TRANSFER IN THIS $2.5 MILLION FUND BALANCE EARMARKED FOR THE ROOF REPLACEMENT. THE NEXT TWO ITEMS ON HERE ARE CENTRAL. EXCUSE ME, OUR CAPITAL PROJECTS FUNDS. THE FIRST ITEM IS TO PUT INTO BUDGET THE LAKEVIEW ROOF REPLACEMENT. THAT'S WHERE WE DO OUR CAPITAL PROJECTS IN WHAT WE CALL FUND 177, WHICH IS OUR CAPITAL PROJECTS. SO THAT'S A 2.5 MILLION THERE. IT ADDS THAT INTO THE BUDGET. AND THE LAST ITEM ON THERE IS JUST AN ESTIMATE FOR THE THE TWO CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS FOR THE WATERTOWN MIDDLE AND LAKEVIEW CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS. THAT'S BASED ON THE ESTIMATED BOND REVENUE THAT WE HAVE THERE. SO THAT, ONCE AGAIN, IS JUST A COMPLETE ESTIMATE. IT JUST ADDS IT INTO BUDGET SO WE CAN CONTINUE TO SPEND THE MONEY IN THAT FUND. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD ON THOSE SIX POSITIONS THAT WE DO HAVE MORE AND MORE STUDENT NEEDS THAT ARE EITHER MOVING IN OR AS WE EVALUATE STUDENTS, WE NEED TO ACCOMMODATE THEM IN DIFFERENT WAYS. SO THAT IS THE REASON FOR THIS. I DON'T KNOW THAT WE WILL USE ALL SIX. IT'D BE NICE IF WE DIDN'T, BUT WE NEED TO HAVE THEM AVAILABLE BECAUSE WHEN WE GET STUDENTS THAT MOVE IN, WE'RE HAVING SOME SORT OF CHANGE OF PLACEMENT. WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THOSE SERVICES. SO DO WE GET FEDERAL MONEY FOR THAT OR NO, OR WE ALREADY HAVE WHAT WE HAVE.SO THERE IS SOME I'LL HAVE TO GO BACK TO. YEAH IT'S IDA. SO SO THERE IS SOME HIGH COST MONEY THAT WE DO GET BACK EVERY YEAR. BUT THAT'S TYPICALLY FOR THE STUDENTS WHO REQUIRE ADDITIONAL ABOVE AND BEYOND SERVICES. WE DO GET SOME MONEY FROM THAT BACK. IT MAY NOT NECESSARILY BE RELATED TO THIS, BUT WE DO GET SOME WHAT'S CALLED HIGH COST. I BELIEVE THE FISCAL YEAR 26, WE RECEIVED ABOUT $800,000 BACK FOR THOSE ADDITIONAL SERVICES THAT WE HAD TO PROVIDE FOR THOSE STUDENTS. SO WE DO DO THAT. AND I DO WANT TO POINT OUT ON THE POSITIONS WE'RE NOT TOUCHING FUND BALANCE. I'M JUST REALLOCATING MONEY FROM OTHER LINES THAT I SAW THAT WE COULD USE TO FUND THOSE POSITIONS. TAKING MY REGULAR OPPORTUNITY TO POINT OUT THAT SCHOOLS THAT ACCEPT VOUCHERS CAN SIMPLY SAY THAT THEY CAN'T TAKE CARE OF THE STUDENT, WHEREAS PUBLIC SCHOOLS TAKE CARE OF EVERYONE. ALL RIGHT. IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? IF NOT, WE ARE READY TO VOTE ON THIS BUDGET AMENDMENT.
[11.4 Recommendation to Approve Portables for Lakeview Elementary]
[00:30:06]
MOTION PASSES FOUR ZERO. MOVING ON TO 11.4 RECOMMENDATIONS TO APPROVE PORTABLES FOR LAKEVIEW ELEMENTARY. DO I HAVE A MOTION? I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE.SECOND. SECOND. ALL RIGHT. THIS IS THE FINAL PIECE. AND IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE THIS ROOF REPLACEMENT, WE HAVE TO MOVE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF STUDENTS OUT. MISS KOMAR HAS BEEN WORKING WITH US DILIGENTLY IN ORDER TO TO ACCOMPLISH THIS. MYSELF AND BRANDON COOK AND SEVERAL OTHERS HAVE MET WITH HER AND TRIED TO COME UP WITH PLANS, AND WE FEEL LIKE THIS IS THE BEST PLAN. NUMBER ONE GOAL, REMEMBER, IS ALWAYS ABOUT ACADEMICS. AND IF WE START TRYING TO COMBINE CLASSES AND PUT 35 KIDS CRAMMED IN A ROOM AND WE WILL NOT BE SUCCESSFUL, AND WE ARE PUTTING OUR STUDENTS AND OUR TEACHERS AT A DISADVANTAGE IF WE DO BY BY LEASING THESE THREE PORTABLE UNITS, WE WILL HAVE SIX CLASSROOMS. AND I FEEL LIKE WE CAN ACCOMMODATE THAT. MISS KOMAR, WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADD THE KNEE? SURE. YEAH, IT WOULD ABSOLUTELY MAKE A NUMBER OF MUCH EASIER. THE. THIS PROPOSED DISTRICT LEADERSHIP KEEPS ALL FIVE CLASSROOMS AND FOUR CLASSES OF MATH INSIDE THE BUILDING, WITH NO DOUBLING UP.
THE PORTALS ALLOW US TO DELIVER OUR CLASSROOMS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS OUTSIDE THE BUILDING NEAR THE ANNEX THAT ALLOWS US TO KEEP INSTRUCTION FOR MOST KIDS AND THEIR DAILY SCHEDULE UNINTERRUPTED. I ALSO THINK ONCE WE GET THE ROOF DECK REPLACED AND THAT ROOF ON, WHEN WE MOVE BACK INTO THAT SECTION OF THE BUILDING, WE STILL HAVE THE PORTABLES BECAUSE IT'S A 12 MONTH CONTRACT, WE CAN VACATE MORE OF THE INTERIOR ROOMS THAT ARE NOT RENOVATED GET DONE FASTER. THE PROJECT UP PERFECT. BEHIND THE SCHOOL, THE PLAYGROUND THAT IS THE FURTHEST TO THE WEST. WELL, IT'S A BIG OPEN FIELD. THERE'S NOT ANY EQUIPMENT ON IT. I THINK THEY CALL IT THE SOCCER FLOOR. SO. YEAH. OKAY. BALL FIELD IN THE BACK, HALF SOCCER FIELD IN THE FRONT HALF. IT'S A LOT OF PEOPLE'S PROPERTY AND A WALKING TRACK ON THE PERIMETER IN ADDITION TO SWINGS AND OTHER EQUIPMENT. SO THE THREE PORTABLES IN THE FRONT HALF ALLOWING US TO GO BACK. AND THERE'S PLENTY OF SPACE. I HATE THAT WE HAVE TO DO THIS, BUT I KNOW IT'S AN UNNECESSARY EVIL THAT WE HAVE TO FIX THE ROOF AND WE HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF OUR STUDENTS. IF I MAY ADD ON THIS, MR. MAYFIELD, THE COST I WAS ABLE TO FIND IN OUR BUDGET THAT WE CAN SUSTAIN THAT. SO WE'RE NOT ACTUALLY HAVING TO MOVE ANY MONEY FOR THIS. THAT'S WHAT I'M WONDERING IS NO BUDGET. YEAH, WE CAN SUSTAIN THAT IN OUR BUDGET AS IT IS RIGHT NOW.
WHAT'S THE TIME FRAME OF THIS BEING? I'M SORRY, IS THERE A TIME FRAME OF HAVING THESE INSTALLED, LIKE WHEN THEY'LL BE DONE? AS SOON AS WE GET THE CONTRACT SIGNED, WE'LL BE SUBMITTING THE PAPERWORK TOMORROW, AND THERE'S A CHANCE THEY COULD BE HERE WITHIN THREE WEEKS. THEN WE'LL HAVE TO HOOK THEM UP AND SET THEM UP. REMIND ME OF THE TIMELINE OF WHEN THAT'S FOR THIS TO BE COMPLETED. THE ORIGINAL TIMELINE WAS 24 MONTHS FROM THE START DATE, SO TECHNICALLY IT COULD TAKE UP TO TWO SCHOOL YEARS. WHAT COMPLICATES THAT EVEN MORE IS WHENEVER YOU HAVE SIGNIFICANT DELAYS, THE CONTRACTOR CAN ASK FOR ADDITIONAL DAYS. SO LET'S SAY FOR THE PAST 60 DAYS, THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO WORK DUE TO THIS ISSUE WITH THE ROOF.
THAT MEANS THAT THAT PROJECT EXTENDS 60 DAYS AT THE END. NOW, I DON'T THINK THE PROJECT'S GOING TO TAKE A FULL TWO YEARS, ESPECIALLY WITH HOW WE'RE MAKING SOME CHANGES HERE, GETTING THE PORTABLES IN AND GETTING THE PROJECT FINISHED FASTER. I'M ANTICIPATING THIS BEING A NO. BUT IT'S WORTH ASKING. ANY CHANCE THAT THESE COULD POSSIBLY BE COVERED BY INSURANCE, SINCE IT'S A ROOF REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT? I DOUBT IT BECAUSE THE ROOF WAS NOT DAMAGED. IT'S WELL, IT'S DAMAGED, BUT IT'S BECAUSE I BET THERE'S SOME DAMAGE THERE IF WE LOOK RIGHT. BUT IT'S DUE TO AGE. YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I FIGURED. OKAY. WORTH ASKING. THANK YOU.
DURING THEIR DISCUSSION. IF NOT, WE'RE READY TO VOTE, MR. CHERRY. SORRY ABOUT THAT. THAT VIDEO CAME OUT WITH NO PORTABLES FOR THE FIRST TIME. AND HOW LONG? AND THEN THIS HAPPENS. BUT HEY, WE GOTTA DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO. YEAH, I THINK IT'S GOING TO HELP US IN THE END, MAYBE GET THIS THING DONE FASTER. SO IT MIGHT BE A A BLESSING AND A BLESSING IN DISGUISE. YEAH.
[12.1 Old Business]
MOTION PASSED. UNANIMOUS. MOVING ON TO ITEM 12. OLD BUSINESS. IS THERE ANY OLD BUSINESS TO BE DISCUSSED? MAYBE I'LL BRING THIS UP NOW. HAVE WE POSTED YOUR POSITION? YOUR[00:35:04]
PREVIOUS POSITION? IT'S ABOUT TO BE POSTED. IT IS. THAT'S WHAT I WAS ASKING BECAUSE ESPECIALLY WITH THIS, I KNOW YOU AND YOUR STAFF ARE BEING SPREAD THIN. THAT'S CORRECT.OKAY. SOUNDS GOOD. THANK YOU. YES. WHEN YOU GET SOMEBODY QUALITY IN THAT POSITION, HOPEFULLY WITH SOME BACKGROUND IN MAINTENANCE, CONSTRUCTION AND INSURANCE AND TRANSPORTATION AND YEAH, ANOTHER ANOTHER ONE OF YOU. YEAH. YES.

[13.1 Melissa Lynn - Athletic Trainers]
ON. IF THERE'S ANOTHER OLD BUSINESS, WE WANT A NEW BUSINESS ITEM. 13.1 ATHLETIC MISS LANE ATHLETIC TRAINERS IF YOU'D LIKE TO. I JUST WANTED TO BRING UP I KNOW RECENTLY WE HAD A COUPLE OF INCIDENCES. I KNOW MR. DONEGAN. I THINK HE WAS AT THEM, OR AT LEAST AT ONE OF THEM. AND I KNOW LAST YEAR MR. PADILLA AND I HAD PUSHED FOR TRAINERS TO BE AT ALL MIDDLE SCHOOL HOME GAMES. SO I JUST WANT US TO MAYBE LOOK INTO THAT. I KNOW I ASKED YOU AND YOU SAID IT, IT WOULD THEY MIGHT NOT BE AVAILABLE, BUT THAT'S UP TO VANDERBILT. IF WE CONTRACT WITH THEM. AND IF NOT ALL HOME GAMES FOR EVERY SPORT, AT LEAST SOME OF OUR CONTACT SPORTS, OR AT LEAST WHEN WE KNOW THAT THE TEMPERATURE IS GOING TO BE 105 DEGREES. I JUST THINK WE NEED TO DO WHATEVER WE CAN TO TAKE CARE OF OUR STUDENT ATHLETES. MR. DONEGAN, YOU HAVE MORE, I THINK YOU YEAH, I JUST WAS GOING TO JUST BE ON RECORD. AND I WANT TO COMMENT ABOUT HOW GREAT THE SRO OFFICER WAS AT WEST WILSON WHEN ONE OF OUR GIRLS BROKE HER WRIST FOR WINFRED BRYANT. MY DAUGHTER PLAYS SOCCER FOR WINFRED BRYANT, AND IT WAS A SOCCER GAME, AND SHE FELL AND DID HAVE A DISLOCATED FRACTURE. LUCKILY, I WAS THERE TO WHERE I'D BE ABLE TO HELP GET THINGS GOING. BUT THE SR OFFICER WHO'S A MEDIC HAD HIS GO BAG, AND SO I TOOK A SHOEHORN AND SOME ATHLETIC TAPE AND SPLINTED IT, AND HE PUT MADE A SLING WITH THE THINGS THAT HE HAD WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND. I THOUGHT THAT WAS AWESOME, THAT HE WAS PREPARED FOR THAT. SO, AND AT A SOCCER GAME WITH ONCE AGAIN WITH WINFREY, WE HAD A GIRL GO DOWN WITH HEAT EXHAUSTION, AND GLADESVILLE MIDDLE SCHOOL WAS SO KIND TO THE WINFREY BRYANT GIRLS. I MEAN, THESE THINGS THEY DON'T FORGET, RIGHT? WHEN YOU INVITE THE OPPOSING TEAM INTO YOUR LOCKER ROOM, YOU'RE GIVING THEM GATORADES AND COLD DRINKS AND SNACKS. WHEN YOU REALIZE YOU JUST SAW A TEAMMATE PASS OUT ON THE FIELD. RIGHT? AND SO AT THAT MOMENT, THEY STOPPED THE GAME AND IT WAS JUST COOL TO SEE EVERYBODY COMING TOGETHER FOR THE FOR THIS KID. RIGHT? SO AND IN THAT INSTANCE AS WELL, THE SRO WAS VERY HELPFUL ON GETTING EMS ON THE SCENE. FORTUNATE ENOUGH THAT WHEN OUR TEAMS HAD INJURIES, MYSELF AND MY WIFE HAVE BEEN THERE TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE, YOU KNOW, INITIAL, YOU KNOW, FIRST AID. BUT THERE'S A LOT OF INSTANCES GOING WITH MISS LYNN WAS SAYING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, ARE THERE DO WE ALWAYS HAVE SOMEBODY AVAILABLE IN THE STANDS? AND I THINK WE ROLL THE DICE A LOT. AND ESPECIALLY I KNOW WE'VE HAD AN UNSEASONABLY HOT FALL, BUT IT IS CONCERNING, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU SEE A KID GO DOWN LIKE THAT, ESPECIALLY WITH THE HEAT EXHAUSTION DAY. AND I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHY THEY DIDN'T PAUSE FOR HEAT BREAKS LIKE THEY'VE BEEN DOING THE ENTIRE SEASON. BUT MAYBE BECAUSE OF DISTRICT TOURNAMENT, THE REFEREE SAID WE'RE NOT STOPPING TODAY. SO THAT THAT'S A CONVERSATION FOR ANOTHER POINT. BUT IF YOU HAVE TRAINERS, THEY'RE TRAINED TO KNOW TO STOP THE GAMES. YEAH, I WILL TALK TO CHUCK AND HAVE HIM WORK WITH VANDERBILT TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO. SO I'M CURIOUS, ARE WE IS OUR CONTRACT NOT BEING FULFILLED WHERE WE'RE NOT HAVING ENOUGH TRAINERS AT CERTAIN GAMES, OR ARE WE ASKING FOR MORE THAN IS IN THE CONTRACT FOR A CONTRACT TO BE RENEGOTIATED? WE ONLY HAVE TRAINERS FOR HOME FOOTBALL GAMES. I'M ASKING THAT WE HAVE THEM, SO WE WANT TO RENEGOTIATE THE CONTRACT. CORRECT. OKAY.WELL, AND MR. PADILLA ALSO BROUGHT IT UP LAST YEAR THAT WE HAVE THEM MAYBE FOR SOCCER AND BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL AND BASKETBALL ALL THE ALL OF OUR SPORTS AT OUR HOME GAMES. I'M NOT AGAINST IT. I'M JUST TRYING TO REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME. IF IT WAS A FINANCIAL IMPACT THAT WE COULDN'T ABSORB OR WHAT I DON'T REMEMBER, I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT THE DISCUSSION WAS. I THINK IT WAS FINANCE, I THINK WAS BIGGEST DECIDING FACTOR WAS FINANCE BECAUSE IT IS A VAST YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO, WHICH ONES ARE YOU GOING TO PICK? AND SO IF YOU COULD SPEAK WITH CHUCK. AND THE OTHER THING IS, I DON'T KNOW, CAN WE CAN WE GET WITH OUR SROS AND GET THEM ALL MEDICALLY TRAINED? I MEAN, THAT'S OUT OF OUR PURVIEW. BUT IF IS THERE A TRAINING THAT WE COULD HAVE SOMEBODY, YOU KNOW, IS HAVING OUR NURSES, I DON'T I'M LOOKING AT INTERNAL SOLUTIONS. YOU KNOW, WHETHER IT'S HAVING OUR SOS TRAINING, YOU KNOW, IF WE PAY OUR NURSES TO SHOW UP, I'M JUST TRYING TO FIND IF ANYTHING'S ON THE TABLE TO GET SOMEBODY, SOMEBODY AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL GAMES THAT HAS, YOU KNOW, SOME KIND OF MEDICAL BACKGROUND. SO IF THIS HAPPENS, THEY CAN AT LEAST THOSE THOSE SECONDS AND MOMENTS ARE VALUABLE BEFORE, YOU KNOW, AN AMBULANCE GETS THERE. SO THAT'S, I THINK THE BIGGEST CONCERN IS JUST THE SAFETY. I'LL FOLLOW UP TO FOLLOW UP WITH WHAT MISS LYNN WAS SAYING ABOUT WE HAVE MET ALL THE CONTACT SPORTS. ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL AND MIDDLE SCHOOL OR ARE YOU JUST HIGH SCHOOL ONLY? WE HAVE TRAINERS AT ALL OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLS FULL
[00:40:05]
TIME, BUT WE ONLY HAVE TRAINERS AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL FOOTBALL HOME GAMES. SO OKAY. ALL RIGHT.IS THERE ANY OTHER NEW BUSINESS I WAS JUST GOING TO MENTION FOR FOR ON A NEW BUSINESS. THANK MR. SEBASTIAN AND REALLY LIKE TO THANK THE COMMISSION AND THE MAYOR FOR PUTTING TOGETHER THAT THAT LITTLE BUDGET CLASS. MR. MAYNARD, THE THE FINANCE GUY FOR THE MAYOR FOR PUTTING THAT THAT BUDGET THING TOGETHER. IT WAS IT WAS GREAT TO LEARN. YOU KNOW, INFORMATION IS SO IMPORTANT. AND SOMETIMES US NOT KNOWING HOW THINGS WORK CAN, CAN LEAD TO, YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT SCENARIOS THAT WE PLAY IN OUR HEAD. LIKE WE CAN DO THINGS AND WE CAN'T. SO IT WAS A GREAT CLASS THAT WE WERE GIVEN. AND THEN ALSO JUST TO REITERATE THAT WE REALLY APPRECIATE THE RELATIONSHIP, YOU KNOW, JUST BE ON RECORD WITH THE COMMISSION. AND WE LOVE OUR RELATIONSHIP AND HOW WE'VE WORKED AND HOW THEY'VE SUPPORTED US AND WE'VE SUPPORTED THEM. AND WE JUST LOOK TO TO CONTINUE TO BUILD ON TOP OF THAT. AND ANY CLASSES THAT THAT YOU HEAR OF THAT WE SHOULD PROBABLY COME TO OR BE INVOLVED WITH, WE WOULD LOVE TO JUST STRENGTHEN OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COMMISSION BECAUSE AS WE MOVE FORWARD, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TACKLE SOME BIG FUNDING ISSUES. I JUST WE I THINK WE ALL SEE IT COMING. AND THE CLOSER THE BETTER THE RELATIONSHIP IS, THE BETTER WE CAN TAKE CARE OF THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY, NOT JUST THE EDUCATION, BUT KNOWING HOW IT IMPACTS, YOU KNOW, OUR ENTIRE, OUR ENTIRE COUNTY. SO THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THAT TOGETHER. YEAH, I KNOW THAT MR. MACK WAS ASKING.
I THINK IT'S I THINK IT'D BE VALUABLE JUST AS TRANSPARENCY FOR ALL OF OUR PARENTS IN THE SYSTEM TO KIND OF JUST SEE HOW THE MONEY GOES. THEY SEE ALL THIS GROWTH. BUT TO UNDERSTAND THERE'S A LOT OF FUNDS AND THERE'S A LOT OF POTS THAT IT GOES INTO. AND SO I JUST THINK IT'S MOVING FORWARD. I KNOW I GET ASKED QUESTIONS ALL WHERE'S WHERE'S IT GOING? AND SO I THINK JUST PUT IT IN A SIMPLE WAY TO UNDERSTAND JUST THE FLOW OF THINGS. SO THEY FEEL LIKE THEY CAN BE A PART OF THAT PROCESS AS WELL. SO I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE, MAYBE IF WE HAVE A LINK, YOU KNOW, OUR STRATEGIC PLAN IS MAYBE WE HAVE A LINK WITH FUNDING AND, YOU KNOW, EXPENDITURES AND JUST, JUST THE CHART THAT SHOWS WHERE THE MONEY COMES IN AND COMES OUT.
SOMETHING I SPOKE ABOUT IT AFTER THE MEETING. SO YEAH, WE'RE GOING TO WORK ON SOMETHING. OKAY. JUST SOMETHING SIMPLE BECAUSE IT'S EASY JUST TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION. SO MAYBE A TICK VIDEO. YES. TIKTOK VIDEO. THERE YOU GO. BART CAN RAP ABOUT HOW THE MONEY STARTS HERE AND IT GETS DOWN TO HERE, RIGHT? YES. ALL THE WAY DOWN TO, TO BUYING THE CHOCOLATE MILK.
