 Just say again the sharing of the information at the moment what we talked about Previously within the budget. We'll see 920 is the official count date and At this point, we still don't have anybody that is virtual correct One possibility but And so just again back to that for 150 Instead of the weighted amount you get $5,000 flat fee for the virtual student and then we pay Greenbush amount for them to take our virtual students this Now we cannot have remote learning as far as a school that other than 40 total hours So and then if we do go above that the board has to approve it Long story short legislators want to basically say hey We want something we're paying you and we want to see some type of education Yes Yeah If not, we'll move on to ban bits We got nothing But we got a light That came in Probably be okay and So long story short With that big we haven't we have pictures of the man, but we haven't seen it So we don't accept it that we see it and go through it see if it meets our specifications So I would ask that we accept the bid if it meets the district specifications So in other words if it isn't what it says it is We have issues with the van. We don't accept it. They're just really hard to find and That one is a low mileage 19,000 for that It's a eight passenger van We want to make sure and check out all those things, but we didn't do anything on suburban or anything We're meeting a van or suburban or something so but checked to the value of it and it's within limits 43 to $4,000 Mounts as far as what the bid can bear to if you just go online and check Kelly bluebook or whatever On those kind of things we don't know the specifics of it because we haven't seen it other than the pictures So I want to have some flexibility to at least look at it and if it meets the specifications But it doesn't We're not gonna accept it. I see it's a you're kind of a lot of 10 real art. Is that a holdout item? well, it's According to the dealer it can be upgraded to a 10 We don't know that specifically until we actually look at the man Because the seat belts where they are Determines if it can actually be a up to a 10 passenger and the pictures don't show that the other thing that happens and People will say well, okay, because we've looked and we got From people 15 passenger vans are out there. We can't use them Community colleges and things like that can let school districts cannot even though the dealerships are telling us. Oh, yeah Oh, yeah, and even though some school districts driving It's illegal 15 passenger vans Now it's I don't know if it's better, but it's a statement. I Believe it is a lot too because we Keep trying from the State Department Somebody the statute No, no, they are But where the seat belts actually of the seat belts if they have this so in other words if it upgrades to a 10 passenger So it's here this back seat They can put in another seat and it has belts that come out from the post then we could do it But if it doesn't then no, yeah, you're right Yeah, now as we walk through bench seating in the band seven inch seating as captain's chairs in the back So they would take them out and drop a bench seat in There's enough seat belts that would be a 10. Yeah, they're yeah a way to upgrade them so like I said But we're because they're of course their salesmen but the fact of you know, hey, we're going to the auction What do you want to spend? I can't tell you bid it Then because by law we have to bid everything over 20,000 And so we don't have grown a lot. I'm sorry. That's not We're within the law to be able to assume then we can do so we did check with Kasty Just to make sure that we were okay Get that particular piece of it, you know, like that and that and but at the same time like I said if we have the money in the budget if Things look good and dooth meets our specifications possibly to move forward with it Versus, okay. Well, we don't have anything again And we're just at the will of when possibly we can get one But if it doesn't meet any specifications, then we're going to get it. Is that fair? That's not fair. I mean You're going to continue to look at this Right That's kind of the price point that you're thinking. Yeah, and then if it doesn't work then we'll have to re-spec and re-bid again We sent them out. Well, we being shell sent them locally and send them to pica Junction city council Grove Manhattan she's sent them all to Kansas City. She come to Kansas City See, so it was a pretty wide net And three weeks ago A couple weeks ago a week ago, they have three That's like, well, what do you want to spend? Well, I can't tell you that we got a bit you bid it and then well They're going now. Okay It is what it is, but you don't want one you're on. Yeah, they seem to be moving just fine Okay, so Anybody else or anybody else has any more on that? I need to that's an action item. So I need either a motion or Administration So it's been moved and seconded to Look at the van and possibly if it works for us to buy it Is there any discussion? If not All those opposed say I Motion passed. Okay Transfiner This System is a software package You can see the first year eighty two hundred and forty five dollars and you're one and then after that 450 for year two and we recommend that we utilize this software service So it's been moved and seconded to approve the transmitter transportation software all those opposed Same stuff or say I All right, except bad for mold it We have one bit. We sent the same deal Everybody Have one bit. This is for remote services and other words To give you an example first day of school Michelle's first job or first day as Transportation I get a phone call the way to work. We got a flat tire. What do we do? So we start trying to contact people can't get people and how to get kids in all that kind of stuff and luckily Nick the person that Truck triage was able to help us out and then they changed the flat Took the tire did the whole thing and got it all taken care of and so that's when they would be doing that Or anytime we have a bus that's out They can't get the bus in to our service area Then we'd have them do it But if we can get it in to SNS and or to another place get it to co-op to change the tire Whatever we'll do that, but otherwise we utilize Nick for his services And he gives that response time of 20 minutes to possibly longer depending on where he's at Because he runs things without out the interstate as well Yeah Yeah Move Dan and lives actually right up there He was It's like you said first day school He's got a major diesel mechanic experience to Hd Kenworth Is this a year What is this? What is his contract here? Okay Oh To accept the mobile vehicle repair Say I move to go into executive session to discuss the confidential data, right? Yeah Just information we're focusing on the literacy Implementation of the multi-tiered systems of support the MTSS through Kansas State Continue to with the leader in me for social emotional learning and a piece of that is that We weekly our administration will be for at least two classroom walk-throughs to go through classrooms and be invisible Within that but those are the preliminary ones the boys By policy to set annual goals So those are the ones that we will focus on and I included some other things that we looked at specifically back capital outlay and some other things, but those are the ones that were What's the standard of the two classroom It's new as far as they're they're involved in classrooms a lot, but this is specific to Thought I'd heard that before Okay Questions on that, okay Move that we go into executives to skip the executive session to discuss confidential data relating to financial affairs Or trade secrets and corporations partnerships trust and individual proprietors shifts And the board meeting will resume at 6 Moving on investment grade audit the official numbers came back after getting all of their information together and there is a Shoot that shows $229,520 of Equipment and services Then it has to still go to the FC IP through Kansas State for the edits and approvals But it should pretty much be completed That basically is a 10-year lease purchase agreement pays for itself and energy savings initially We were going to pay 184,000 it went down to a hundred and hundred thousand and now After we looking at it again it went down to zero. So the operations and maintenance piece Would not cost district anything. We'd have to pay 14,000 $136 for the FC IP to oversee it over the 10 years Which we could take from capital outlay But the project would pay for itself and energy savings So it's a true win-win and we get all those saints done the HFAC systems and retrofitting of HFACs the air handling units starting those process LEDs And then also the building in the world so I Would think that that'd be something that we we've talked about the main issue We proved it last month to go to this and start it and now this is the official action and the construction On their chart would start October 25th with final completion May 28th of this year February when I say Seconded all those posts Brave I ask that this guy They think it really probably should be a ongoing discussions So I just wanted to ask some questions about the reopening plan. I was asked questions from teachers and parents I want to make sure I understand it correctly because there's some information that's not included, but I don't want to make assumptions either so In the plan itself, we don't talk about any space in your apartment, so we're not recording any spacing and then It's a close contact that we have comes back with Someone is in close contact with a positive case And they do the test And that test back test come back negative Do we require that individuals were masked or is that up to gray? What happens? No Just changed Just in the last two weeks, I thought I see an email come through where there's something about that Yeah, we Yeah, that Yeah, we made the they still have to be tested, right? But not masked Okay, so there's there's no requirement for the student that was a close contact to still wear a mask Correct. As long as they're tested As long as they're tested Here they test positive they have to isolate right when they test positive they go to red Yeah, and they they handle the isolation and When they come to test then they have masks on when they come to be tested So just to be clear on the quarantine options in order for a student to remain in-person learning Where there would be no isolation necessarily And still come to school regular they weren't seen because isolation is positive case Okay, okay. Yeah, yeah in-person learning, but still considered right after after a positive case Well, if you're a positive case you have to be isolated Okay, so I'll put it so they won't be here So if it's not me and you if the student comes in contact with a known positive case They'd be a close contact and They wanted to remain in student learning. Mm-hmm a way to do that would be if prior they had been vaccinated Correct Or if their child was wearing a mask Throughout the school period school hours. They could still remain Yeah They come in close contact. So a student wears a mask to school all the time they can remain in-class learning even after a close case or if they've been vaccinated We changed the If that's a no quarantine necessary If we're in a mass no quarantine necessary, no isolation because it's gonna be a quarantine period No, it's no quarantine. Yeah, no isolation Isolation is for a positive COVID case, correct Well, you're still technically like in quarantine if you've been a close contact. Yeah, I mean if you were wearing a mask Or if you opt into the test, let's go up into this test day and you are close contact You just test every day you test every day When they come positive it goes to Ray Ray isolates you because you're a positive case, okay So there's not a requirement to wear a mask I guess that's that's where I heard concerns I think the concerns are justified So if if you're a close contact, so if someone were to come in contact with me I mean they were a positive case and I would be considered a close contact with that individual State and federal government had guidelines in place that say you need to start testing after five days after you've been in close contact and they give a five day period because During those initial few days, you can still test negative, but the positive because the virus hasn't So during that first five-day period you can be positive you can have the virus but still show up So I guess the concern of teachers parents that I talked to is if that's possible Shouldn't those students probably be wearing masks in the event that they are positive, but don't show up So I guess maybe at a following meeting You had your opportunity to change it when he brought it to us But for some reason you don't learn from our leaders within our district who are telling you they like the plan and they are Supportive of the plan and they don't want to change the plan So why do you work so hard to go outside and find somebody that disagrees with our superintendent? Just so you can come to a meeting and argue with him in a public forum Why do you work so hard at it? We have we got the counties The counties that love the cases Where I'm at Where I'm at right now the counties that love the cases we've had two plus one staff that we know of at this point in time correct Brad the big picture She's tested 103 tests for students have tested 50 times for our staff we have had two quarantined students one staff quarantined two positive cases of students one positive case for staff this year We're the two students Related or were they two separate? Where they have the same contact Doesn't matter there was two there was and They were part of a team They tested it worked the the plan worked To a team to the point that others are wanting to use it Raise ask and hey, can I send this to Mission Valley because they need something like this? To the point that there's other school districts that have now picked this up not just in our little area the other thing that really frustrates me is This was an action item last time We don't go back. We move on as a board. We approved it as a board We move on this would be no different than if we fire the teacher last week We bring it back up this week. It's the exact same thing We move on as a board if you want to address this There is something called the superintendents forum at the end. You can ask your questions then We only have so much time In a meeting and Brad's got does a great job of trying to Maximize the time that we have Brad's done an excellent job And so is the rest of our administration for that fact because I know the high school had to do this testing and Charlie as well It worked and it worked to a tee Yeah Have any of the tests of close contacts come back positive? No There's your answer We tested a hundred and fifty three times and not one test has come back positive from shedding the virus in your five-day period How much more proof do you need? Why aren't you wearing a mask now? You could have the virus you could be spreading it to us Why don't you have one? Why don't you and your family wear one when you're in church? What's that have to do with where your mask? Because we made your choice That's all I'm saying everyone can make their own choice in this room our kids that are younger than 12 year old can't make their own choice Are they in danger? How do you know? So in two years, we've had 12 kids in the state of Kansas 12 in two years. How many suicides have we had this year Brad? If you want an issue to save kids, why don't you work on their mental health? I think he is working on a mental health trying to push masks How many kids are staying in school? How many kids are staying in school? That's my concern. I think our plan is keeping them in school. We've had two kids out of school with COVID-19, correct? Right. Okay. Thank you. That was this and that was my plan once it's worked. Because the close contacts did not test possible. Just to give a point for a quick on why I bring up the meetings. I bring up the meetings because I see it as a health issue. And that's why I will continue to bring up the meetings. So are we going to bring up every health issue for kids? If it's in terms of the pandemic. Because they're down this week. You know that countywide we're down this week. Do you have anything in person that you want to go into the session before we start this? I just read and so we don't need anything. We're moving on. Just to want to make sure that you have the volunteers. Okay. Did you have one of the volunteers? There are many volunteers. Correct. So I can just go on. So if someone wants to. I moved to approve the employment as submitted as Gary Blanton, vice-director. Valerie Phillips, emergency sub. Richard Philbrook, substitute teacher. Isaac Peterson, substitute bus driver. Steve Reeves, junior high football coach. The supplemental list has provided. Joni Dahl, substitute teacher. Lance Fuller, high school driver's ed. Linda Drennan, substitute cook. I also accept the resignation of Brian Boucher as the driver's ed teacher. And approved the transfer of duties for Michelle Garrett as transportation director. Second. It's been moved and seconded. The only discussion that I would have was Brian Boucher's retirement. This has been a lot of years of service to our district. And I think there's several of us in here that have seen him behind the wheel with us doing driver's ed. And we can't overstate how much we appreciate his years of service to the district. Absolutely. Thank you. All those opposed? Say aye. All right. Motion passed. All right. Superintendents, more members for. The information FYI, KDOT, we had applied for a safe practice schools grant. And that grant approval to begin surveying the board agreed to the 3,000 obligation. That 3,000 obligation is now being paid for by the Greater Manhattan Community Foundation. And so that's for sidewalks and those type of things in Paxaco. Now, if I understand that, is that for the planning or is that for the project? Plan. Okay. So just for the planning portion. Correct. Okay. And we're waiting for KDOT to get us the information so that then we can go ahead and put it out to bed for services. Yeah. We really appreciate that. Yeah. I know. Justin. I might bounce this off and on too. I was just curious about the electrical issue from the city. I know we've had some lights issues and some lights burnout because of the issue we're in to the city. And I know we just approved a performance energy audit that's going to come in and put brand new lights and stuff in. And I would hate to see that stuff have issues. Just curious if the city's figuring anything out. And talking to Michael. Michael said that they have hired an engineer to come in and backtrack and look at everything. Because they could figure it out. Other than our gym look like the 60s. Obviously, I appreciate Michael and everything the city does for us. And I don't mean any ill will towards the city and bringing this up. But I believe that some of the confusion going around town is a little bit that it's our issue. And our lack of taking care of our facilities. And I just want to make sure publicly that people know that this was my issue. And so. Yeah. He went to the side of the day hearing that tour with the manager and he came to us. Jim. For all this years of service, it's really just amazing that we just wanted to provide that for us. I really appreciate that. I also really appreciate and will continue throughout this year. And support our features. You know, they're the crux of the education that we provide. They're really responsible for providing the resources that our kids get. So much should be committed to them. So. Move to adjourn. It's been moving adjourn. All those opposed, say aye. Motion passed. Meeting is adjourned. And your yearbooks. And your yearbooks. Yeah. And by the way, I'm going to feel hurt if I'm not asked to say that. Thank you. By any chance. Back in the day, that was the day. We didn't sign them at all in our day.
