 to try to get this first part of the meeting done by before seven so that we can set up for the budget meeting. So we could try to get it wrapped with executive sessions and everything within the hour. Five minutes is it? Yeah. Two for five minutes. Okay, so let's see. So first public comment comes first. Is there any public comment? Save some time there. I was about five seconds. All right, so consent agenda. We can't, I don't think we can, we can't approve anything yet. Oh, we can't wait a minute. So we're going to go to board comment. Any board comment? Okay, hearing none. How many seconds is that? Reports to the board. Superintendent's report. Just a couple things. One is that we did meet last Friday with four candidates for special ed director to replace Deb Matthews and I'm checking references on three of the four, hoping to narrow it down. Perhaps I won't be bringing two to the board on Monday night. I may only bring one because I started checking references today and I may need to just do that. So if the board, you know, changes in one, it's more of a selection to look at. That would be fine, but I expect that I'll have somebody to bring to the board on Monday night. The other thing is we are hoping that after the break to be able to move into the restorative classroom space at Bethel, we have to do some light carpentry work there and mostly it's safety things. Piding pipes that are hot. Took down a couple ceiling fans and there's going to be some paneling put up in one of the spaces there and maybe putting a tile square, carpet squares down. But we hope that it could be ready and we would be able to, we have a awaiting list of some kids that need to use it. And so there's some need to get that done. Too much. Everything else is budget related preparation. We're going to spread out on the night of your meeting. I think that Matthews and I will be coming to your meeting Tara for a little while and then she's going to head to F Bud and Mary Ellen Simmons will probably go to Sharon because they all meet at the same time and so we're kind of dividing and going out. Any questions? I do have a letter of resignation to share with you. I can do it now or I can do it at the end of the meeting. Yeah, I don't want to really do it until we get it warm. Okay. So Tara, when it comes to the budget meeting, what part, what time do you think you'll be swinging through the red? F Bud starts at seven so I'll have to leave here by 6.30 to get there. Okay, so you'll be with us for the first half hour. Okay. Okay. Any discussion? Any questions? Business managers report. So what I just passed out to you is the budget to actuals as of December 31st. So the first page is the revenue and then the remaining pages are the expenditures. So as of December 31st, we still have not collected 3.3 million of revenue. And as of December 31st, there was still 3.1 million available in your expenditure budget. But as you saw in your February expenditure reports that were issued that obviously went down in January and February. So this was just as of December 31st. This this 3.128757 does not include all the salaries have already been encumbered, correct? Yes, the encumbrances are on it right here at Y 19 20. So this doesn't include payroll. It's not any projections or anything about what was left is purely as of December 31st. I see right that the HRAs and all the benefits are encumbered as well. Some of them are. I don't believe they're I wouldn't say that they are fully encumbered in any way she'll perform, but there are a few that were encumbered based on the basis that have been received. So as you all know, we've curtailed spending since probably November, early November. Hoping to hold the line as much as we can. I don't think anybody's complaining. No, but especially in the field trips budget. What about the field trips budget? There's some some field trips requests that have been made and I've been scrutinizing them and don't know that they just they weren't budgeted for per se. They would be new things if we would have been adding this year and given the freeze I've asked for more justifications are doing them than what I've gotten to date. So last year we kind of green lighted everything and you know that contributed to us going over budget a lot. So on the revenue side, do we expect all of the what's three of the 3.3 million? Do we expect most of that to eventually come in or I guess I mean I guess the biggest one is that Ed spending grant. Yeah, so the Ed spending grant is not paid out again until April. Yeah. And I don't know when do you collect taxes once or twice a year? Four times a year. Four times. Okay. So you'll get more revenue coming in from the Ed spending fund and then the taxes. The Medicaid money is not coming in. We'd already discussed that. So that $60,000 is not coming. Driver's Education, I just submitted Saturday the fall driver's ed reimbursement that Tim dropped at my office. So there'll be some revenue coming in. It's very small amounts. And then state aid for transportation that will get paid out to you at the end of the fiscal year. And then the tech center on behalf again, just remember that's a wash expenditure and a revenue. So it cancels itself out. It's just the way we have to break it down for the ALE. So some of it will definitely go. All right. And one more thing I wanted to mention on the roofing project in January that did get moved from the general fund to the building reserve fund. So that will be reflected on the expenditures. Not on this one, but on the expenditure report that cost for that got taken out of the general fund and put where it needed to be moved from general fund to where the building reserve fund where it was supposed to be taken from to be paid. Okay. And principles report. Anything you guys want to add to? We have some printed copies of people. Oh, I'd love to get some of this was written before something's happened. So last Friday, we had Alex Chevron, Benet in for trauma training. When both staffs combined over the cafeteria, Bethel feedback, I've gotten some sense and very positive. I think it's a lot of practical tips. People appreciated what we were doing there. That was positive. This afternoon, the high school faculty council met. We worked out our dates for events between now and the end of the school year. One of the things dates that hadn't been set until an hour and a half ago was the date of the eighth grade open house. That's the recruiting event that we put in the paper for and send out postcards about where we invite folks from Chelsea, Tumbridge, et cetera, all over the issue to come and meet staff and have a meal with the wonderful cafeteria food here and convince everybody what a great place this would be to bring their kids next year. So that's in the works. There was one other date that the school play, if you put that on your calendar has been moved back a week to the first weekend in April. It's supposed to be last weekend in May when we lost the two snow days. It was right the last weekend in March. It's now the first weekend in May. Was a change. We had a little delay. We tried to save a couple hundred bucks by going with less reputable script provider and their procedures are two to three weeks to get scripts out as opposed to turning around orders once they arrive. So kids were working off of kind of makeshift scripts until just last week. So that also factored in your decision to push that back week. So you're just for clarification, it was supposed to be the last weekend in March, but now it's gonna be the first weekend in April. Okay. The actual dates of the spring musical are April 3rd and April 4th. I would also add that we had the PTO puts on the spelling bee on the Bethel campus. We did that on last Friday and Aubrey McKenzie will be representing the Bethel campus for the PTO. That's exciting. And it's I love to read week in Bethel and the elementary school. And we are decorating doors and having secret readers come in, except for when there are state troopers in their bathrooms, then they don't show up. But otherwise, there's lots of secret readers happening and drop everything and read happening. And tomorrow we're going to dress up like your favorite book characters. Just a quick question. Why did the Valentine's Day dance and early on my I just had your junior class sponsored the dance. Yeah. And I believe that the juniors who were supposed to help set up maybe as many as half of them did not show up to help set up. And so a very small handful of kids to set up and they were I think afraid of being stuck with the breakdown and not wanting to spend an hour until 11 to do that by themselves. So largely kind of a learning experience for the junior class. Hopefully that helps prepare them better for that upcoming problem. I know they had some students wanting their money back or a percentage. I took care of everybody who asked me about that at the end of the night. There were some kids who got refunds. Yeah, they did. I won't say anything to my son. They wanted 20% Well, there were one or two students who came in from the bowling tournament, which ended at about they got back by 30 or quarter to nine. So you got there right when the wasn't right to be charging them any money to come in and have a thing ended in half hour. So yeah, yeah. But you know, it was it was well attended. You know, maybe as many as half of the school soon body was there over 40% was there. And you know, they were there quarter to seven. And, you know, big crowd waiting to get in. So it was it wasn't a, you know, kind of situation where people are fashionably late and wanting to stay to the very end. Some kids that actually started to leave around nine o'clock. And I don't know how much that might affect the decisions. Well, I'm glad that it didn't just get shut down because there's something that was happening. But no, yeah, it's nothing negative. It was more the personalities of the kids who were doing it. And it just kind of like, you know, and the other piece was, I think because it was Valentine's Day dance, semi formal theme, there were a lot of slow songs. But the majority kids weren't there to slow dance. And they dance pretty hard. I mean, it's a pretty physical activity. And so by nine o'clock, the combination of slow songs and all this sweating and taking feet. A lot of kids had stopped dancing. And so, again, the organizers were like, Well, nobody's dancing. Yeah, yeah. It was disappointing a little bit. Yeah. Anyways, yeah, my son was like, Yeah, because pick me up at like quarter 10. Nope, pick me up at nine. Just change like overnight. We had kids who hung out. I think most of the kids who hung out till 10 enjoyed themselves for the most part. So it wasn't too much of a rage, fortunately. All right, action items. Anything more for the principal's report? Can we talk some more about the preschool? So let me hear you all have an update. So it says says you all met with the preschool coordinator, and then you all talked about how sharing elementary is providing. So it said decided the next logical step was to explore summer programming options. What does that mean? So it's the idea of having preschool services in the summer. At one or the other campus or both campuses, which is why we want to survey parents to see what the needs were and what the interest was. And then simultaneously, Jan, who works the central office, is going to talk with, you know, HR and payroll, and see, you know, what would it cost to have this staff and what we need to charge for the summer? What about next school year? We got to get through April 15, which is the screening. The screening. Right. So after the April 15 screening, you'll know what how many students are wanting to write our idea. Yeah. Well, that we need two classrooms in Bethel or one. All of you still on board with this? So I mean, I mean, we're still talking. And so it's part of the screen going to be like a question about if people are interested in like extended preschool. And so will that be not ready when people have been registering, at least in Bethel, the words gotten out that we offered full day for three year olds with extra pay. And so some people are already expressing their interest. And I said, well, we get to see who shows up. But good to know you're interested. But that includes like potentially aftercare to or not? Yeah, so that's why the first option we want to try was our services to see, you know, do people want this? Can we find qualified staff who passed the preschool regs who want to work at these extra hours to see how that goes in some of the schools we tried to get during the school year? So it's really going to require surveying the current students and the incoming preschool students? Okay, because I think that a lot of people asked me about, you know, are we going to be offering any type of care beyond the normal end of the school day three o'clock for next year? So And part of the research that we'll do for the summer option, it'll let us know, you know, what should our fees be? What was the cost to be? How many students do you need to have participate in aftercare for it to be given? Because you don't have to, you would have to pay for itself. You don't have it in the budget. Okay, anything else for the principal's report? All right, action items, any action items for next month that we need to put down or follow up on? That might be why Pam is here. Well, she's here for town clerks. Yeah, that's the only thing we have any action items. Yeah, I want to see if there's any action items can pass. Thank you. I think from the November board meeting, it looks like read, you've already addressed the scheduling, so that's taken care of, but the other one was with driver's ed to get clarification on our financial responsibility for our students who go to other schools in the district, students in the district that go to other schools. Do you know what our obligation is for them? Yes, we're obligated to provide driver's ed for them. Okay. Sorry, I thought we'd share that out somewhere. Yeah, the lawyers for the AOE went back and looked through the statutes and SU has a responsibility to provide that. Okay. So it is what it is. And we have that in writing, I think. We have got an email from the state. Yeah, in that regard, which I think I've printed, put my drivers in file. Okay. Other action items, we might come up with some more after we've had the annual meeting procedures and what we'll see if we come to meeting some action items. But I think that we're going to need a quorum before we can make any big decisions at this point. So either we find a way to get Andrew to come over here from the gymnasium or he should be here any minute. Okay, cool. Then maybe can we start with discussion items talking about the annual meeting without a quorum? Yeah, no, you're not making any decisions. All right. So that's next on the agenda is procedures for the annual meeting. And Pam, would you like to come up and talk with us. Here. Carmen, the only thing this year we would just like to do. I'm Pam Brown and I'm talking about those who really don't know me. Is this to try and figure out a more cohesive way of doing it? And Carmen and I are working with our BCAs on doing just that. And we're going to have a meeting and we're going to try and get things figured out. So I think there was some confusion about what the school district clerk, the role of the school district clerk. I think I'll confirm that. I'll confirm that. I mean, the last two minutes. Yeah, I mean, I did not mean to put you in the spot. It was just it was yeah, you're good. You're being polite. The school district clerk's role is to like collect petitions, put together the Australian balance, do that like that or whatever. It was my understanding of it all. And that's what we got from Secretary of State's office. And the school district clerk is in our turn. School district clerk is the one that gets voted on at the annual meeting, which is Tammy. Yes. Currently, but next year it will be next year. I think it's going to be Carmen and I are talking about which one's going to do. Okay. So the only issue that happens is on town meeting day. School district meeting is not an issue that that you know, meaning is always a night other than town meeting day. On a town meeting day, the school directors are voted on by Australian ballot. And that is in your little states of origination. And they need to be counted this year. My understanding is they're going to be counted at the superintendent's office. To BCA members from Royalton and to BCA members from Bethlehem are going to take the seal boxes there. And that has to be with the school district clerk. So that's you this year here. Because unfortunately, as town clerks, and if either Carmen or I get voted as that school district clerk, it's going to have to do something different. So the only thing would be would be to think about this and how it can happen for next year on your warning is to put an article about I'm not sure how to word it, but it's like changing your articles of origination into where ballots can be counted in each individual town overseen by the town clerk, and then met the next day to do that piece of it. They have to be commingled now. Right now that coming because it's a union district, it's commingled. And that's the only piece of it because that's in the articles of origination. That's how it's worded. My understanding of it. So it's just something we need to look at definitely before next year. That piece of it. So I mean, that's it. But we're just going to kind of try and do one unified way of voting between the two towns because we're not Bethlehem way of voting anymore and Rosenway voting anymore. We're one unified district and we have to do that piece of it. If we were to make an attempt to change this to have a warning to change it in a different way, that would require a special meeting sometime during the calendar year. I'll check with Dina. I'm not sure. Yeah, but I find out what the semantics are behind it. Yeah. See what our options are. Right. Because if it makes sense that the ballots can be counted where the meeting is being held that year. Yeah. Um, the other piece would be, yeah, I mean, obviously, Wilson does all their other town stuff by Australian battle and we have presidential primaries happening and she's got four different things that she's counting this year. I'm going to. I like the idea. We have an open town meeting piece of things. So, but it's just that part of it. It would just have to be like a couple of the ECMers coming to Wilton and co-mingle them in Wilton under whoever happens to be the clerk. Whoever is the clerk at that point in time is where they should be counted. If it doesn't work out that we can do the separate pieces of it. We have talked to elections office as secretary of state and it seems like it could be, but we have the legal terms of it all the legal process. So, that's kind of the only just of what we were kind of looking for tonight, but and definitely after the annual meeting and after year everybody's you know whoever's on board. We would love to come back and visit things for next year. So, an action item is actually to find the correct um come up with some language or proposal and and talk with Dina and find out how we could actually do this. Just to let you know what we're what we're thinking, what really kind of should happen. And I think it would be nice if we had this all figured out at least six months in advance so that we don't have to like get in the weeds of this in the midst of doing budgets and all that kind of stuff. So, we can give ourselves a a timeline or a goal to have it done by a certain date once we know a little more, but we'll just make sure that that that stuff stays on as an action item so we can keep checking in on it. And we're more than happy to come back and talk and do whatever at any point in time. Okay, so for for town meeting day when the Australian ballots are happening, Tammy's been able to designate the task to somebody else. I mean as Clarke she can designate, she doesn't have to be the one doing it, right? There's nobody else that's going to be able to do that. It has to be done under the school district first. Because she designated somebody else because that would have to be one of Carmen and Rod. And there's no way we can leave the polls once we're about county ballots. We can't. The audience, the whole body is royalty and they have other business to kill in those proxies. And so two BCA members travel in their cars to go to Supervisory Union at present time and show up at Supervisory Union with the box. Yep, and they're going to count them all together and then they're going to count them from there. But like next year, adding a presidential election all that makes it a little bit more chaotic and navigatable. Very chaotic. So why are we going to Supervisory Union instead of just having, you know, that will go to royalty and royalty. That's what your articles say. Because unfortunately that was in this morning. So in the morning piece of it that they were going to be moved, they were going to go to Supervisory Union office and they were going to be counted there. Was that for just for the school directors? School directors, but was that for the first year or was it for that was on this year's morning? Yeah, it's on the bottom of this. Oh, the warning for this year. Yes, the warning for this year. So what we're talking about is we're finding a way to amend it for next year. So it's on the action item list. I'm going to get some information from Dina, Pam. It's going to be working on, Pam and Karma are going to work on some proposed. I mean, would it make sense just to have the clerk be whatever, so we just nominate the clerk from the town that it's going to be held in and then that clerk can delegate if they want. But that way we don't have any confusion about where the petition goes to or any of that stuff. It's whatever the town that the board meeting is going to be in, that clerk for that year. That is something that's coming in. Yeah, that seems very reasonable because each year we switch back and forth. But that doesn't address the ballot issue, ballot counting issue. The ballot counting issue is somebody's going to have to go from one school to the other school to be with that person. Whoever happens to be the board clerk, the school district clerk, not school school district clerk, whoever's voted, whoever happens to be the meeting battle, the world's people are going to have to come to battle. If it's Karma from Royalton, the battle's going to go to Royalton. And that's what we can do. And that ballot counting is just for re-election of board seats. Exactly, yeah. Yes, just counting there's really battles in this stuff here. And my understanding is the Royalton Assistant Clerk, Rita, has got a tally sheet all done up for you, Tanya. Thank you, Rita. She's already my friend. I know. So, I'm so sorry that you have to. Hey, we're all learning and we are finding an environment. This is a big learning curve. There is nothing in the unified school district statutes are still as far as things go. We're there, yeah. Yes. So, I'm just trying to think about the whole sequence of things. Would it be just a temporary solution for this year or would it really be a temporary solution for two years? I just wondered, like, if we put it in the articles to decide, you know, how the votes will actually get counted, if we put it in the articles for next year, if the people vote on it the night before at the annual meeting. It would end up happening in the next year. So, for the next two years, we're going to have a. Well, we could have a special meeting, like in July or whatever. Yeah, I don't think anybody would care, you know, like, it wouldn't be a big issue. I just have to email to Dina asking her what the procedure is to get this changed. So, we'll see what Dina comes back. All right. Andrew, since you're here in year. Yeah, okay. Do you want to start? We're on 9.2 annual meeting planning. Thank you very much. Did we call the meeting to order? Oh, yeah, the meeting's been called already. But we just have to. Yeah, the minutes right there are the. You want to say for the 9.3 discussion? Yeah, we haven't done. Each person's responsibility. Sorry if you're good with that. Yes. In the meantime, we've got our first watcher present today and we've been waiting all day for him to arrive and he's due to arrive in, like, half an hour. So, I have to go home. Oh, so. We'll just move it to the next. We'll see if it's done. Move it to the next. Yeah, it's fine. Are you sure? Okay. I mean, we could do it quickly now. No, it's okay. We'll figure it out. All right. Thanks. Okay. Okay, great. It'll be discussed next week. We still have two executive sessions, but that one's no longer. Okay. We're on 9.2 annual meeting planning. Okay. I do. We want to go back and approve minutes and that stuff. Yeah. Yeah, we could. Now that we've got a form. All right. I'm trying to get everything out of the next 20 minutes, too. But we can resume the meeting and then resume it after. Oh, that's true. All right. Do we have a motion to approve the minutes? Or are there any discussion or amendments? I make a motion to approve the minutes. Just look at it. Approved the minutes as written for both. Yeah. January 21st, 2020 and January 24th, 2020. Okay. All in favor? Aye. Aye. Any opposed? The minutes are approved. Okay. So do we want to go on to 9.2 annual meeting planning? What was? Well, no, we just got, we covered procedures for the annual meeting, but annual meeting planning itself. I mean, I didn't create the, I assume we're talking about the meat and potatoes of the annual meeting. I guess. Since Lisa's not here, I'm not really sure exactly what you had in mind, but I could tell you that at least to promote the annual meeting, we've got, we've got childcare and there's going to be a spaghetti dinner prior to the meeting as a fundraiser for the Yellowstone Park field trip with middle schoolers. So, Miss Williams is going to be sending me some more publicity for that one. She's got her final details and and then we'll work on getting a promotion out for, they're going to do childcare and a spaghetti dinner and probably have some, I don't know if they're going to have any other snacks or whatever for the meeting, but we'll, we'll get the word out for that to let people know about all that stuff before and during the meeting so people have access to childcare and know that there's a meal. Great. Lisa, if that's sent to one of the principal either and on either campus, we can send it out to be a blackboard to everyone? Absolutely, yeah, yeah and put it in. So, we'll try to get that done sooner than later because I want to get it in the paper too. I know that we have a placeholder at least for the annual meeting in the calendar of the newspaper and it's gotten mentioned, but just to get it out there as often and as much as possible because I know last year people were confused about when the annual meeting was happening and where and we want to make sure that it's really clear and repeat over and over again. Our last school newsletter before the meeting is going out on Friday so this Friday, so really maybe if there was a flyer quite fair to say you could be incorporated into it. I'll touch, I'll take touch base with Holly. Okay, do we need to like have a plan for who's going to be doing the different offices as far as like treasurer and clerk and all that? Probably not at the annual meeting because they're not going to be the ballot, the Australian ballot voting doesn't happen till the next day. Well, but you know we we do the nomination of the clerk for the district. Oh, that. The clerk, the treasurer, the salary. So for the moderator, do we do, didn't we have a plan for that? Wasn't it like whatever town? But actually, I think it's going to be Allison. I think it's going to be Allison. Just going to be Allison, okay. So we reelect Allison for moderator and do we decide that the clerk's going to be, I mean I guess we haven't decided, but Pam and Carmen will talk about that so hopefully one of them will like Carmen would be for next year. Probably Carmen. And then the treasurer. Yeah, who's been the treasurer? Pam's treasurer. Pam's treasurer. And I assume she's okay with doing that again. Has anybody talked to her about that? We should have asked her while she was here, but we could check. Okay. That's all the ones we need to do, right? That's part of the meeting. Okay. Yeah. Then our presentation will be occurred during number, where did it go? Oh, five here and act upon the reports of the school district directors and officers. So, Pam will stick with sure. Is there an action item for four? Article four is to fix the salaries. Does anybody else want to talk to you about this? Yes, it was in there. I was looking on my phone. I'm just going to keep that to say. I mean I'm okay. Do you guys have one? Oh, no, no. We just talked about, did we call it? Oh, good. Right. At one point, talk about, do we want to try to shoot the presentation like at the top of the meeting before we move into the different articles or, I don't know, because we got, things we got sort of sideways last year. Right. There was some, I thought people were saying that the report of the school district director was in a town report. And so our presentation was something separate. Okay. So, yeah, maybe it would make sense to do our presentation at the top and then do this stuff or... Yeah, I don't know. I think we're good. I think a presentation at the top is a good idea. And, you know, introductions, presentation. Oh, yeah, that's a big one. Yeah, yeah. So, and are we all set for speakers and microphones and all that stuff? Are you talking about your actual, like, budget reports that you're talking about or you're presenting? Because you do that in article five. Well, okay. Last year, there was some conflict over this because they were saying that the kind of presentation where we just do, you know, talk wasn't the report that was what was in the town report, like, you know, the packet that we prepare and send out to everybody. That's the report that we act on. But, I don't know. Maybe not. I think it's... It's on my ears, obviously. Yeah, I know. It seems... Yeah, why don't we keep it where our article five is? I don't know how students do that. Is there any... I feel really unprepared asking this question, but is there anything that needs to be addressed with article four? Are you blending article four and five in your presentation? No, article four would be... I mean, usually somebody makes a motion from the floor to to set the... it's for the school board. It's our stipend, I guess. It's that piece, right? Right. Right. Can you say somebody? Is that a board member or is that an audience member? Audience member. It's usually been somebody from the audience. And Allison prompts that. Is that correct? Right. Yeah. I think, yeah, they say... Let's take a motion and I think they mentioned that in the past it's been X amount, so I guess it's been 600 a person show last few years. But for what it's worth, for the sake of the notes, you know, we're going by all these articles in order, but I think before the whole meeting really gets started, before Allison really takes over, I think it'll be really good for us to say welcome to and what this is about and who's in front of you and what their roles are and how the meeting is going to take place so that people can kind of have a warm-up and know what's going to happen because it... I mean... Sure. Yeah, I agree. And that they can know when... that we are going to give a little bit of a presentation, right, about... I know we have our info meetings, but is there an opportunity for any of the principals to talk about what the school's been doing, or is that covering the report? It's in the report, so... Your principals to speak. And the voters have to agree if they're not community members to allow them to speak, because they're not, so that's usually part of your presentation to the voters. Okay. At least that's the way it was always done. Yeah. Okay, and that's all happening at Article 5. Got it. So do we know if we have the speakers and microphones? Owen was working on making those arrangements yesterday with Seth's daughters. Okay. Is that who we used last year? That's how we always use. He does a great job. Yeah, there's just one of the years things didn't work so well, Seth. I think over here we didn't have Seth's daughters. Well, we didn't have Seth's daughters either, but it didn't work well. So, but I guess we should get an update from Owen is to make sure that was all... I just sent him an email. Okay, cool. Owen's not here because he had some personal idiotic behavior. I'm sorry. Okay. When we were at the, you know, meeting yesterday we were covering all that with Owen and he was working on it, but I can't remember, you know, it sounded like it was in process. Okay, so we... Anything else for the annual meeting that we need to think about now? I don't. The elected roles and each person's responsibility, that's part of the annual meeting. So, Lisa had corresponded with Dina and Dina had sent a response, so I printed it out for each of you to have. Oh, good. The elected roles and responsibilities. But I think we kind of went over this already with, you know, we're going to have Amazon Treasurer and hopefully Carmen, but they'll work it out for the clerk. And Allison is the moderator. So, I think we can go on from that at this point. Yeah. Thank you for this clarification. Okay. So, moving on to... Are we going back to reports to the board? So, we're at public comment. I don't... Yeah, we do the reports to the board. So, the only thing that's left now is, if there's no public comment, then we have... The executive session for a student matter is not... Is going to be set aside for another date, but we do have two executive sessions for personnel. I can probably do one of those in the public session. I don't think we need to go in. It's just a better presentation. Okay. So, are you ready for that? Sure. Well, let's ask if there's any public comment first. Is there anyone? I would recommend, especially since it seems like the weather may be keeping people from coming tonight, if we can, on our Facebook page, post some links to the previous discussion from last night and whatever discussion happens tonight. Yeah. Because I feel like... I feel like everyone in this building knows exactly where to find your work of videos every once in a while. But I'm not sure if people in the broader school community know how to find those videos and I think to be able to say, go to the Facebook page, there'll be a link, click right on it. I think that would be helpful in getting more of that. No, but I took notes from last night's meeting and so once I clean those up, I can share them and they could get posted on the Facebook. Maybe they can go, like, when the stuff gets posted on Blackboard and whatnot. Sure. Yeah. I think we still make this... There was some good discussion. Yeah. I think we'll get a couple more people here. And I suppose we do have a slideshow. I don't know if the slideshow could be part of... There's not a lot to the slideshow, really. But anyway, we can make sure that that gets out there, especially if the attendance is low tonight. And, you know, the microphone is always at one person, that's the question. Absolutely. Yep. All right, any more public comments? Hey, Peter. So I would suggest that we hold off on the executive sessions until after the information meeting, because otherwise we're kicking everybody out. Absolutely. Do you want me to do this letter now? I said... It's not. It's just a resignation. It's not. Okay. So I received this letter from a long-time teacher here in Royalton. To whom it may concern, please accept this. As a notice of my formal resignation from my position of teacher at South Royalton Elementary School, effective June 30th, 2020. After careful consideration, I've decided to retire from the teaching profession. I'm grateful to have been a part of the school community working with the children and families of South Royalton for the last 30-plus years. I feel it's time for me to pursue other interests. I'm grateful for all the students, families, and colleagues who have, over the years, made my work so rewarding and it's respectfully submitted. Debra Allen has been here for a long time. Now I would suggest maybe you accept it with a deep regret, maybe? Motion to accept Debra Allen's resignation with deep regret. Seconded. And I'll send it down if anybody wants to see.
