 602 We have any adjustments to the agenda Is there any public comments at this time Okay, we'll move on to the consent agenda She'll prove the minutes of Tuesday October 19th 2020 Entertainment motion Oh, so I can all right any discussion All in favor say hi hi Okay, we've approved minutes of Tuesday October 19th, do we have any board costs? Okay, that brings us to the superintendent report to board A good evening. It's good seeing all of you. I think we lost Peggy the Although I do get a little joyful right here at Peggy in the milking part So brings me back to my childhood so You know To add to my report. I'm really pleased to let folks know that we actually started PCR testing at some of my member our member schools To get students out of quarantine and it's gone thus far exceptionally well which is great and We expect to have our Android antigen test to do tests to stay For next week. And so we're actually a little ahead Above the timeline that I had last put out in the last time the information I had Yesterday was that we already had a hundred and sixty folks signed up In consent so that was good news and so You know, I think that the timing of that us being on the roll that out with as much positivity as we're seeing in the community is significant I'll just add. I'm sure you've heard my messages. I'm really trying to message the folks Especially as we're coming up on the holidays That you know, we were really successful. I think keeping our schools open for in-person learning because the community was really following mitigation efforts and I will say Probably knock on wood somewhere for your district things have sort of slowed down a little bit with positivity But my schools on the 110 quarter last week was pretty busy and so It's definitely in the cobit is definitely pretty present in Baffle Royalton Thomas and Chelsea. I can tell you based on positivity rates of students coming in the building positive And so I will say though We're still seeing that our mitigation efforts within the building are working quite well And we're not seeing any type of significance that spread And so that's good news Um, you know, we still I would say that it's a The Department of Health is still really delayed in getting us information and what I mean by that is that positivity that we've had Where students have tested positive and sometimes Hear that and That's really frustrating And so I've shared that frustration with folks and I know every system's overwhelmed, but I'm really proud of the fact that I you know over the weekend on Saturday and Sunday our team of teachers Came together and contact trace both Saturday and Sunday For member schools of the SU so just a huge shout out to everything that folks are doing I hope that they they know when I say, thank you. I I I've made it from the bottom of my heart And then the only other thing that I would just wanted to highlight is that we've engaged into I think are some pretty like successful collaborative conversations with the Central Vermont Supervisory Union and What we are going to be proposing to the full board as a concept Next Monday is the idea of our alternative programming Supporting some students at CVSU specifically at the middle school level That meet and they may need some more intensive social emotional supports our middle school programs doing quite well And we really love the team that we've built so it's an area of strength. We believe for us and They have a really good program right now for middle and high school level students that are on the spectrum and Or who have more global cognitive delays And so the concept being is that we would We'd have some spots available and they would have some spots available for us so that we could do some training as students and And the concept was also going to be that they were going to support some of the transportation costs And so I'll have more of those details to share with the full board on Monday And it looks like we would be able to what we believe is taking on at a max of five additional students By adding really just another Support staff person is what we're thinking and so based on our current numbers in our SU so The MOU would always indicate that the priority would be our organization But that if we had availability that we could trade out spots and what we are finding in general is that Alternative programs in the state seem to be overflowing currently at the moment we're looking to support our students have the most intensive need and Students are just being waitlisted. So I think the more we can be collaborative Regionally the better and this is actually a model that was in place years ago a regional model that used to support students and the air street school actually were Don McMahon first got his admin job as a principal was to support students regionally who had had intensive needs and At one point those things were taken down with the focus on inclusion Which you know, I think our model trying to do and have these programs within our buildings to still have inclusion But to have some specialty models across SU's that do certain things well or better May serve us well in the long run So just know that I'm continuing to have those types of conversations to look at how do we provide better programming for kids? But do it at a cost that's reasonable and in just to give the board a sense right now the tuition for an out-of-district placement at East Valley Academy is at a hundred and six thousand dollars per pupil right now And so that's a significant increase in cost that's gone up from thirty thousand two years ago to a hundred and six thousand And so it really goes as I think to really look at how can we best support our students here internally and funding around special ed is changing and so What I mean by that is we're moving to a block grant which we're not going to see a lot of revenue go down But I do believe over the next few years. There's a concept of fading out extraordinary cost Which means excessive cost over 60,000 per pupil right now. We're reimbursed 90% on that The Sounds like to me that some of that funding mechanism may change So what I mean is we wouldn't get 90% of every dollar we spend over 60 I think that that's going to change in the future. So I think it behooves us to start building more and more programming And so That's though. That's just I wanted to share that and I will share more about it with our net roads Monday And I gotta say if you didn't watch the video that you one of your students created with faculty and staff here And students at Weber Valley Middle School, please do It's a really huge celebration of learning and I'll take any questions folks have your section about the Memorandum of understanding. So you talked about the space in Chelsea elementary school Well, we thought about using it for one of the programs. We haven't really decided which one yet And part of why we're thinking about that space is that It's going to be vacant next year And so I brought up the concept of having some specialized programming in that school And the first branch unified district board is open to that concept Which is good news and geographically it's close to CVSU orange Washington Williams town are all really The bus so we were thinking about how to be leveraged that and their the concept there too would be cost savings They were willing to pay for some electricity if But the general concept for Walking slots is that we wouldn't exchange tuition money. Exactly. We wouldn't exchange tuition. All right, if there's no other questions for Jamie We'll move on to the principal's report Good evening I Could start here or And just tell you that we're still working on our our concepts of restorative practice In solving problems in school and we're training up the entire faculty and staff and not just the traditional way of training the faculty This will be over the year and a couple years to create the model of Restoring a problem when it happens and repairing harm when it's done. That's one part of this our goal one I know that Andrew and Reid both have something in there, too I just wanted to highlight that we had a handle of a care training and de-escalation training for our whole staff Which I think is key that we were able to offer that to everybody and that's something I don't remember ever doing before So that's gonna help with the Basis of understanding about how to help in a maybe stressful situation and then there was a follow-up train more acute train for like First responders to maybe come in when the de-escalation techniques aren't working. So that was exciting and good Also, just I think it's noted in there, too is our School-based clinicians, which is so wonderful to have here from Clare Martin are hopping and So is our SAP so they can see about 25 to 30 kids each and they are seeing about 25 to 30 kids each So it's wonderful to have them here as a resource and just another layer For our families and kids. I feel like even yesterday. I just got an email from a state trooper was saying Do you have the service for your kids? And yes, we do So it felt good. It's getting out of the community And at the high school two of our big initiatives are despite some staffing challenges our personalized learning classroom is up and off the ground The next two quarters and the culinary Hands-on work-based learning in the afternoons for our students and Our lead them up social emotional program. We're doing it visor every week is off to a good start Kids met this Monday to look over students who've been nominated for a special recognition and celebration next month And they've really taken it seriously to take it at the heart and we're looking forward to our first school-wide assembly and Just a little over 10 days To recognize students and well, we'll be giving them a Wildcat teacher and some other Gifts for their positive contributions to our community so if we go into our second goal that with professional based learning and Specifically literacy we have K-12 introduced a Writing assessment that we're implementing as we speak I said in the other day in the middle school class where they were doing it and it's at different levels But we're going to be able to have writing assessments across grades and agreement in January 14th when we have our early release day Staff and faculty are going to work on that and try to Calibrate how we measure that assess that and it's pretty exciting And I think what I would just add to that is that's connected to the summer work that we had our teachers do this past summer And that that's not actually an SU initiative, but that was really teacher driven from red teachers So it's a cold, right? You're writing about zoos, which is funny for kids in Vermont but So there's some reading that has happened for the kids depending on their age You might be read to or be reading some texts and then they're Responding about their thoughts on zoos So it'd be great to like really sit down as a whole staff and look at proficiencies and see the scope Vertical scope from K all the way up to 12 with that right? But in addition, we're doing all the other things that we've been talking about and And I think this next section I would say we just wrapped up parent-teacher conferences, which were super well attended we're just collecting the Data on how many parents came in but I feel like offering the virtual and in-person We've had a lot more people be able to access Conferences, so that felt nice And I just think again kudos to teachers because I know that parent conference week is hard and it's late nights And they did a great job At the same time in Royalton Galen is I really good for all the credit was the South Brails in PTO But it was Galen Hubert did a snow globe and drive for families so when they came in for conferences if they came in they could Pick up snow gear look at the swap. So that was I thought I thought it was wonderful I don't know. I think it's a tradition and I think that's what I should say forever And then the week before that we had our first book fair in two years and made a lot of money I think just because people haven't got in the book fair for two years. So it was nice to have families in for that and And the superintendent pointed out there was these National conference presentation that a student and teacher did and I got to sit on on that but We also are meeting on a regular basis with our communications coordinator and We're doing more social media engagement and I think Reid could talk about the night at Chelsea school and That the reaps reaching out the families and I know Shannon's on the task force We're planning on December 2nd for the middle school level of it going to Sharon elementary and bringing a few teachers and students and maybe parents and Talking to families there about what their options are here at the middle school for for their students Yeah, since the principal's report was done last week, we actually have another student shadowing with us this week actually tomorrow, maybe looking to School environment back into the back into the fold. We're hopeful about that and I want to make a plug for Friday's In building in-person production of Dracula on Friday and Saturday night at 7 p.m It's not our return to live productions because we did two of those last year They just have the outside But it'll be nice to be able to open and close their curtain and have kids work in the lights Work at the sound system and have that stage experience. So we're really really excited about that I think the last thing that's super notable is we just Start vaccinating vaccinations for our elementary And that was you could kind of like feel the excitement among the elementary students Kind of hard to be like this kind of private. You don't have to talk about it But they were like really excited and I'm sure it's just a lot of reflection on people's and families Desire for this to have happened now So I think I think that's it And we're happy to take questions And if you haven't checked out the newsletter, just click on the links and check them out So I have a question and I'm one of those parents who had a very excited Eight-year-old flopping around last night that he had gotten his shot, which never happens, right? So that's So mine actually are for a couple of things that we've talked about for the middle school and So I'm wondering if in the middle school There's going to be any theater this year and also if the DC trip is going to happen The right now there's no plan about around theater. We do have a club a Theater club and that's on Friday afternoons But I'm totally open to that happening, but so more to come on that I guess we can float that idea DC is in works. It's in the plan We we're trying to figure out the best way to do that the safest way to do that and how to make sure we have everything in Order, but that's underway We're excited about Yellowstone is also underway for planning And there's been so much interest in the Yellowstone trip that we're looking at the possibility of two groups Or three groups over the whole summer. It's a great problem That helpful Yes, thank you. Yeah, and I'd like to follow up on the theater thing, but maybe we could do that outside of the meeting Sure. I'm happy to talk about that Other commentary you can also tell us nice things about ourselves just Is The reading assessment that you guys are doing is that like tied into that kind of proficiencies and stuff the writing Yeah, so we're looking at the proficiencies And they're Assessing each one on the rubric and then that's kind of like where we're gonna come together and talk about like What's working with not working and right so this the reading what they read is informational text So we have that built in right away right the reading piece, but it's considered a cold, right? There's no instruction about how to do it. It's just It's pretty significant to give your whole staff participate it's crazy good And built by teachers the point and I'm all about internal competition We could have the board could get a take a shot at it Good evening everyone so you have my report and overviews the deadlines that we have for the month of November So if there's any questions there Otherwise, right if you could put up the FY 22 first quarter projections First quarter we focus on salary and benefits So about halfway down the page potential areas of savings So the salary savings is your budget versus the contracts that were issued right now We have a savings of a hundred and fifty three thousand six hundred and thirty two dollars And then the health insurance is your budget versus currently enrolled and our open enrollment season is in January So depending if staff changes their health plans, there could be an adjustment for this line, but currently at seventy two thousand Five hundred thirty nine dollars in savings your total projected savings of two hundred twenty six thousand seventy one dollars And then Ray if you can move to the second page, please This is the revenue side Current tuition projections. We are down thirty five thousand six hundred dollars Pre-K we are up a hundred and seventy eight dollars Interest income as the months go on that will change but right now we've received five thousand nine hundred and fourteen dollars I don't have any miscellaneous revenue. I don't have any rentals and no student activities at this point So that is your local revenue and down below. We are projecting the budgeted amount for Property taxes tech ed funding and transportation aid will no more on the transportation aid later in the year when that gets released from AOE and Then again down below the vocational transportation reimbursement. We just submitted our first Semester for vocational transportation, so I'll have a better projection after that comes back in from the AOE once they assign their reimbursement rates Driver's ed. We haven't received anything in from the state yet But I do project to get what we budgeted for there and then adult learning that still is in your budget But I haven't seen any revenue there. So I don't have any projection for that So with the difference on the expenditure savings and the revenue shortfall we have a projected Sorry surplus of a hundred and sixty one thousand six hundred and sixty four dollars at the end of first quarter and Then down below Summary of financial operations. I've updated that for the FY 19 audited the FY 20 audited and then the FY 21 non-audited financial general fund and Then down below that are your reserve fund balances as of June 30 2020 Do I have the final audit that will obviously be updated for June 30 2021? Any questions on that? I can't hear you Andrew In the summary of financial operation section Those lines are basically the snapshot at that time. So it's not like adding those together Together that was the general fund balance at the end of that fiscal year Okay It could be that and it also could be higher new hires that we could be that replaced retirees Combination I heard your question right. It's hard to hear you. Yeah, sorry My other question was If we turned in the fall census and tuition student census, do we have that data or could we get that data so we can compare it to previous years and stuff I Heard did the fall census gets submitted and I didn't hear the rest Could you provide us with what we submitted? Yeah Right, that's right. Yeah, okay, so I don't I didn't come prepared to answer that off the top. No, that's fine, right? So those the lists of students have gone through the principles The last couple of weeks and the deadline was last Friday, but not for rug But for some of the other schools sending schools in the SU There's still some ADM trickling in so overall the ADM should be down a bit 1920 which was kind of high-level mark recently and I can certainly send you numbers And you guys have probably way too early, but you know, there was the ADM kind of adjustment for last year But we have no idea what they're gonna do this year No, and of course the big thing right now in the books to is the waiting study, right? And so We expect some type of recommendation We're supposed to get figures. We were supposed to give them on the 10th About what the waiting study would have done to our equalized pupils at least their projections that got delayed So we'll you know our equalized pupils. They'll calculate them the same for this year, but moving forward They'll be weighted differently and so stay tuned to that in general I think based on you know, some of the Indicators that they're taking into account for that. I think we're gonna be okay and most of our districts But I'm curious to see what those projections look like and as far as to missions We can definitely give you an update on what our projections are versus But based on your revenue, it seems like it's pretty close And I know we had two more students just start at the middle school this week Any other questions for Tara? Okay Task Force reports guys Really ready to report Yeah, so We are at the place of we sent out the preschool survey our last meeting we get cut together and kind of really tweak to the survey Pushed it out via Facebook Actually, I don't have done a good job pushing it out even further And we have some good information coming in so I think our next meeting is tomorrow to kind of look at the surveys And what we got back and figure out next steps based on that Yeah You want to update that sure we've been meeting I think it's every other Monday and We are talking about this is the task force to for student recruitment From that we have come up with a plan to go to Sharon elementary and we've already Secured that date and the principal is going to join us and we are we're working now with One of our principal interns mini-beth pike He's going to help with that because she has a student parent engagement piece of her program that she would like to use there Oh, great. Yeah, and we're going to highlight the Yellowstone trip and some other trips But we're also going to point out things like our academic programming in our pot program We're going to use that same model learn from that and then redo it at the our sub campuses That's where we're at now and we are going to do a plan do study act cycle of improvement So we know that we'll do really well, but we know that we will also be able to improve that by looking back on it I'll say one of the shout out one of the things that I think has been powerful and Sharon feel free to jump to try them into her own is that we have two member district principles on That task force that are supporting this work, and I think that that's powerful They've given us some good insight. Yeah, but things we're not seeing So Michael Livingston is one of them and he has experience with with recruiting students in his career So he's been very helpful with that The hard example on that is Principal Haley actually sent an email To all the sixth grade parents telling them that we're our plan and that we're going to be inviting them We didn't have a date set and now this week I'm calling each family in the evening and harassing them just kidding and inviting them To this evening and we're gonna have a pizza party and it'll be soft, but it'll also be We want to be there to let answer questions and let people know what we offer here So I'm really excited about some of the things that we're doing this fall in recruiting right now, and then I'm probably most excited about this spring though and Going out and talking to some folks getting some feedback and creating Communications sort of plan around how recruiting can happen and marketing in the future and then also You know using our Our resources on the websites and things to really To the best of our ability and to put some great content on there That I think is already being created. It's just making it super accessible and so I'm really excited about that piece too Where we go from here On to Action items So the policies on it You are Right That feels exciting to me I Make a motion Racism policy All second Hi, Chris Hi Shannon policy is f-27 bids quotations and current policy Everybody aware of what the changes were with this Basically just changing the limits to match what the state is recommending now entertain a motion Also, I could Any discussion Chris Sorry, if you have to me mines and I All right discussion items draft to of the 2223 red budget Ray do you have that to put up on the screen Coming in a second It's in your packets too just so folks down So we did make at the top and you'll see highlighted there in yellow We made some adjustments to that line item in the second draft because there were some changes made to was who was providing Services there, so there's a small adjustment and then we'll move down to the second section the general education So for pre-k that remains at 2.0 FTE Regular education elementary is at 16 FTE and part of that FTE was moved up to the top under intervention for middle school high school This line item covers 1.5 FTE for health EC in ECO an outdoor ed of 1.3 FTE, which is an overall increase of 0.5 The library remains the same at 2.0 FTE music at 3.0 PE is 3.1 art 2.5 Foreign language 2.0 and then down at the English line. It's 5.4, which is an increase of 0.4 Family and consumer science remains at 0.5 Tech ed remains at 1.0 And then under math we have a 5.0 FTE and 0.5 FTE was also moved above to intervention And on the science line, it's the same FTE in the current budget. We just had an adjustment for benefits and Social studies we had a reduction of 1.0 FTE Driver's ed remains the same at 0.4 Work-based learning remains the same at 0.8 and then the community school coordinator as part of the AX67 community schools grant were required to do a match on that funding So that is adding in the 0.5 requirement for that So overall the general education budget is up $66,373 which is a 1.53% increase So I'll just jump in and principles can too. I mean so your budget just in salary and benefits is going to be up close to 168,000 which is not bad when you think about increases in health insurance and we are budgeting accordingly Do the fact that we're in negotiations right now, and so I want you know we're budgeting and planning for that as well in this You know we take into account that some of the hires have been good, right? And that's part of why you're projecting a surplus this year Which is keeping this a little lower than we might see typically And we're trying to leverage of course as many title funds as we can for you guys and you'll see that up above around grant funding remaining The same on currently funded positions What I would say to you is is that One of the things we're going to do between now and December is to just sit down again and Go through and make certain everybody's coded at the appropriate places You can see we continue to adjust that based on where folks are actually assigned This year and so these numbers may change a little bit not your FTE's But Jesse could change a little bit from general ed To student support where intervention is And then what I would say to you too is if you look one of the things I think that we're really excited about is that this budget does support two pathways full-time pathways coordinators and Still community-based learning as we look to try to expand our pathways programming across both campuses and I would say to you We've had some real successes this year where some students have been able to Because we've been down a pathways coordinator actually our high school students that work with Tony snow Who's our middle school pathways coordinator and Tony's been able to work with them to build plans so that they could demonstrate proficiency and Then be awarded appropriate credit and so I think that that's exciting And I would say that you know, we have a student in the supervised room in office Just this evening at 430 working on a pathway with Alicia Rominger who does some contracting service for us for students who? You know may need a real alternative looking pathway toward graduation and so She's got a lot of experience in that role And so I want folks to know that there are starting to be some real examples. I think of us actually serving students and it looks very Untraditional and looks really personalized and I think that that's really good news I think it's good news when we think about drop-out prevention. I think it's good news for students who you know may be taken college courses virtual courses and You know and or just studying out in the community and being able to demonstrate p-credit for example, that's one of the pathways that happens so You know, I would say this budget is as far as at least salary and benefits and the principal can correct me if I'm wrong I feel 90% there Just so you guys know I feel like in December you're gonna get everything Which will be all the budget lines including salary and benefits And what I've said to the principal is at this point because we you haven't given us really a direction yet Around where you're hoping to come in at worse. We're sort of looking around that 3% target To not make certain that we're not going over is what I'm saying So we're looking at how can we build the program when we want without getting over a 3% area? Unless you guys, you know, tell us differently last year. We actually cut the budget And so I don't think we're in a place where we're gonna be able to do that again And not hurt programming. So that's that's sort of where we're at That's what we're looking at right now, I mean, that's each district is different and so for this district I felt what I said, let's that be our goal and Let's try to hit that mark without we're really trying to continue to expand programming. It's certainly not her program And so that's sort of the the compass we're using I think to guide our decisions at this point On the FDA changes for like a map and social studies in English What does that look like as far as You know where we Taking partial person from social studies and shifting them to English just because of class demand Yeah, I would say that these FTEs line up to how we're currently staffing and So based on licensure and things and so based on how we're currently staffed and in supporting kids this is how the FTEs are coming And It's coding changes in but it's also changes in just licensure and how we're utilizing staff When we think about pathways programming trying to provide more electives What licensures we hire? Those things would change that fair Any other questions on Can I just is that 3% are you guys you didn't say anything so I'm taking that that's good Is that at least a good like work? And so we know we have a goal right so when we're talking and we're thinking outside the box and trying to Prevent you a budget. We feel like you're gonna support but feel good about is that an okay place for us to be working from Yeah, no, I think that that's a good Good thing to do now Yeah, no, right, exactly. There's a lot to still come in All right, so we'll keep working on this. I mean you'll get the whole thing Thank you So this is article 17 of the master agreement Article 17 says that you need to act to either decline offering this or to offer it I'm gonna recommend that you decline it you did last year as well and Just so folks know what your declining is is actually if you were to offer this teachers could apply If they've been in your district longer than 15 years, it then results in they would receive 80% of their salary plus Health insurance for a year For a single plan and certainly it's not something we've budgeted for But just when you think about that 3% rate in fact that we haven't budgeted for it if a couple people did Opt into that that would that be a significant impact to your budget. So that's hence why I'm Act on this Everybody have any thoughts I make a motion that we find the career assistance of change program for this year All in favor say aye So we put out the RFQ which was exciting we had one person Put in To do the work and that was II services who did the presentation The action tonight is to allow them to do the free audit and to come to us proposals. That's how the RFQ was written It's not binding past that They're ready to come in next week, which is exciting So I just need a motion and approval to enter into that agreement and that agreement is for them to provide a free audit and So you guys know what I've talked to them about is really having a proposal for us about doing the work that we absolutely have to do and And no extras I want a couple proposals is what I'm saying So I said to them with each district do what we absolutely have to do and Get us the best performance we can and Have it, you know be as cost-neutral as possible across the performance and then I said Give us an option where you say well, here's all the things you we recommend you should do, right? And so I'm actually asking them to do two to three proposals But one definitely we know we have things in each district. We have to do please make certain that that's part of the proposal And so that we hopefully will see that in January Are you providing them with a list of must-haves? They're gonna they're gonna determine those on their own they're supposed to yeah They but Lyle is gonna be touring the buildings with them, which I feel good about And he's kind of got his pulse now. He's been working with your custodians for a while now and The other SU custodian, so I feel like he's got a pretty good sense of what they are half-twos specifically with our our HVAC systems Motion to Anybody having discussion on So we received one bid for the No plowing and salting for the winter it is from Green Mountain the same contractor that we had last year We got the approval from the state for the bid waiver as we only had the one response and His proposal this year is 59,740 dollars which is an increase of $1,000 over what he provided us last year at 58,740 dollars Do we budget for any kind of increase just out of care you open that up and you I can let you know Tara's working on that. Does anybody have a Discussion on this Yeah, I think we're pretty happy with This Combined at both locations Andrew we had 119,000 in the budget Okay Hi No plowing bid is accepted Okay performing arts lab potential projects Yeah modified our timeline a little bit because our original request for Instruction manager bid is only produced to construction managers The construction managers would come in and estimate the cost and do a lot of the leg work in Setting up what the project would look like Which means we we'd ask to come into the board in December and kind of lay out the cost But by having pushed back our timeline a little bit We won't be prepared to do that Although I'd still like to be able to bring the committee in there provide the rationale behind this project And begin to engage the board in the discussion about whether it's something the board is interested in continuing to prove pursue and what what strings might be attached with that We've just pushed it back two weeks, but by doing so we're hoping to get a few more construction managers We've been doing walkthroughs around the building with some of those folks and answering a lot of questions for them We hope on Monday To review applications And then we're going to be interviewing two folk two or three finalists the the Monday after Thanksgiving So hopefully we'll have some quality candidates to help us figure out what this is going to cost then once we have that Be looking to go out and take that around Some private funders and see what we can raise out there to make this happen It's a little bit vague at this point, but hopefully we'll we'll come to you at the next meeting with with more specifics and Set aside a little bit of time to answer questions Does that mean anything more questions for read all right then thanks We've already taken action on them These two items Possible action items so we're on to reservations new hires We didn't have one resignation Erin Green who was our nighttime custodian Resigned and so we're in the hunt for a nighttime custodian And so Right now we're we're trying to piecemeal it together I gotta say it's south rilton building still looks incredible a huge shout-out to glory angle. I mean in her staff They do amazing. I was in there today touring buildings around because we are creating a comprehensive PD program I'm where our custodians may need to Strengthen things in their cleaning protocols And so I've got some folks coming in to help me Develop that PD program and so that's one of the buildings we toured in They were so complimentary and they work with schools all over New England I'm just gonna say Lori's incredible so but we are looking at maneuvering some subs around to get further coverage at the nighttime Location at Roylton We have a couple sub custodian subs that are supporting schools in the SU and we may maneuver them and jockey them to ensure We have full-time coverage. They are after Thanksgiving. So when we are hunting Well, and I dad and it's starting yesterday We hired one of our seniors who has been doing in a custodial work on the weekends and was looking for a change in his job and As of yesterday, he came on board four hours a day. So he's gonna be taking half of what was air and ship 20-hour a week employee And really excited. I think it's gonna be a great opportunity for him So, yeah, just wanted to update you We did also interview to flexible pathway coordinator candidates yesterday We'll be talking to Jamie about What that looked like and how they might want to well Whether or not either of them would be a good fit for what we're looking for. Okay, I Would say I just so the board knows It's not Education this business is transforming I feel like in front of our eyes where folks are jockeying around more in the year than I've ever seen before And it's not just here. I'm hearing that from other districts as well And so I think it is something I started talking to my superintendent colleagues about In regards to wrapping our heads around this because in the past it's really been folks come and they stayed in place Mostly I'm thinking about our support staff in general and I'm finding that that's just not the case And it's not just here. It's it's it seems to be Across schools, but also of course across job markets in general is what I'm hearing And so it's just something for us to I think as we try to be forward-thinking Wrap our heads around how do we how do we try to navigate that that's all all right? Do we have any public comments? We don't have any other so future agenda items would be more about the warming arts Any other future agenda items the next meeting is Tuesday December 21st at 6 p.m And we're all done
