 I think we should call this meeting to order since we only have a few minutes before our official retreat get started. We do have a quorum. So we have two things to do. The more important one really or more substantive one is to approve the support staff master contract that was agreed to tentatively. I can't remember which one of you is on that team. Does anyone speak to that want to speak to that support staff contract? I can talk a little bit about it if folks need, but does anyone have any question or anything it was sent to us to review? Is there anything we should know in particular lane or anyone else who was on that team? I can give the basic changes. It is a one year contract given the uncertainties with COVID kind of going into the next year. There were a lot of basic changes to wording, fixing wording that was out of date that related back to the days when we were multiple districts. So a lot of that was cleared up. We put in the medical insurance changes so that things are aligned with the new state negotiations with the union. We did add provision to allow some of the school year employees to have a little bit of vacation time. And it goes by years of service, you know, if they're at 15 years and over years of service, they would get three days. Those days cannot be taken on days that students are in school. Overall cost of the district was about 600 bucks for that. The group agreed to a 3% increase for next year for the support staff. We did get some wording in around tuition. There's a pretty generous education component that the board offers to the support staff so they can take classes. But there was no requirement for achieving a certain grade level to get reimbursed. So we set that as a B minus. They will get their contracts in hand by May 1st. Prior to this contract, we had always, you know, given the notification of who was going to be getting a contract on May 1st, but now they will actually get the contracts in their hands on May 1st. And then probably the biggest one for the district is they did allow for parity in the grievance process. Prior to this agreement, things were kind of one-sided. The union would be able to have a longer amount of time to respond to the different steps of the grievance. You know, in one of our cases, it was two days, you know, which wouldn't give us much time to contact the lawyers, you know, talk to the people we needed to talk to and formulate a reasonable response. So there is parity in that now, which is reasonable. And that's pretty much in a nutshell everything that's changing. Oh, Laura, your microphone's off. So are there any further questions from anyone else about this support staff agreement? OK, let's, I'll entertain a motion then to approve this support staff one-year contract. I make the motion to approve the one-year support staff contract. OK, all those in favor, please waive. Any opposed? OK, it looks like it is unanimous. Thank you. Secondly, we were sent a list of two provisional hires, a band teacher, a music and band teacher, and a pre-tech teacher. Are there any questions about those provisional hires? OK, do I have a motion to approve those hires then, as written in our agenda? I move to approve those two new hires as written in the agenda. Anyone second, please? OK, all those in favor, please waive. All right, unanimous again. Thank you. So Ashley is recording the minutes here. And we will now adjourn this part of the meeting. We will go to our training, which was sent to us in the link by Susan from the VSBA. So I'll see you guys there in a minute. Thank you. Thank you.
