 Good luck to the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands. One nation under God and in this world with liberty and justice for all. Pause for a moment of silence. Thank you. We'll move on then I guess one quick announcement. Cheryl is online. And she is asked during the discussion parts and voting parts to make sure we speak up. Give her time to tally that. So as I've done in the past meetings, I will be asking for no votes. And then moving on. Seems to keep a little cleaner that way so anyway now moving on to the additions or approval of the agenda. Are there any additions? Yes, under personnel. There's a new agenda at your spots. WHS counselor. Merrill workman. We'll be in time. Anything else? Are there any board members depending? Yes, Don is. Okay. So all I need a motion to approve. Kelly is moved and Tony is second. All those opposed, please say aye. Motion carried. Okay, then moving on to principles reports. This is healthy. The only thing that I would like to add to my report is that I'm sure you're aware that the case should date of January 28 is rapidly approaching. And we we have games right surrounding that. So it a level depends on what they the executive will gets back together and decides to do from January 28 on. We will stick with the two parents or up to two parents per participant until we have, regardless of what they say, until we have discuss it with the health department and have time to roll out a plan if it's a different plan. Does that make sense to everyone? So I just wanted to let you know that before the next board meeting that date will have a pass. And so we'll just wait to see what the association decides to do and then go from there. So if anyone has any questions about any of the rest of my report. There wasn't a lot to it this time might be my shortest one ever. Okay. Thank you. Mr Craig. The time that I talked about over here next book. Sure. Okay. So I just have a little bit of my report. The day that happens. We have a first grader test positive for COVID-19. So we are, as we speak, I just let the janitor in the closet. He didn't have a particular field for his law. So they're deep cleaning the first grade classroom in the annex. We're going to go on to the modified program like we did before. And it'll be this week. And by the time we come back to school the following Tuesday, we should be going to go back to normal. So just, just is what we need to do. So if you have any questions, we'd be more happy to answer. All right. Thank you. I have anything to add at this time? Okay. All right. Thanks guys. Appreciate it. It's moving on then to the consent agenda. Is there any discussion? I just was going to ask what that grant entailed. They would cross the shield. And I'm not sure what code he's using it for. It's neat that I'm just going to ask. Joey every year also has received them. I think this was the third or fourth grant. We actually received this year. Did that apply for that? Yeah. Through blue cross the shield. And our occupational or physical therapist. I'm not sure what her position is anyway. Occupational. Occupational. She got one as well. And so yeah. And it's $1,000 amounts. So they've been very good to us. That's great. No further discussion. I just need a motion to approve the consent agenda. I'm up here for the consent agenda. Jim move. Tony seconded. And Tony seconded. Jim to approve that. Jim all those opposed please say aye. Motion carried. Okay. Moving on then to hold a new business. The first is the resolution hearing to close Maxville middle school. It was put in the paper per statute. For the 20 days prior and not 10 before. So we've read it twice. In the newspaper. Have had some people email about things with it. But nothing to this point as far as wanting to come. And speak to the board about closing it. And again, the reason for the closing is it was included in the. Resolution is that we're going to close it. Do to help district expenses. By reducing district buildings for everybody just. At the end of the 20 21 school year. We're the fifth grade students will be placed that either. Maple Hill elementary. And or Alma elementary. Six grade students will be placed will run the junior. And we may change that. We may just attend up on what happens if there's a bond or. Other things where we may have fifth and sixth together. FYI, I did include. Public information that. The principles and us have put together. It showed. We can put people in there and make enough room. With the area that we have if we needed to. The junior high with modules and without. And just that it hasn't been through the fire marshal yet. And the architectural situations. Because I know some are concerns about. Having them continue to be together. And yeah, that could happen. It could be that we do take two of the elementaries. And split them so just wanted to put out there that that is. The case we've also contacted. Two different companies modular companies. About moving the modular that we have. Presently at the junior high that has both damage. And we can choose to declare that surplus and. Whatever. And then also that they would need to move it out. And then we would move from the middle school. Modular or modular. Up to the junior high. So. If need be and if let's say a bond did pass. We have them there. We could utilize them for putting. And this again is all just talk. We could have we do know we're going to move on there though. And Kate with situations. And the one that we take out and put the other one in that place. We, for instance, could have. Bipped in six out there and those two modules. With no issues. We could then also have the modular. Put at the other end of the building at the north end of the building. As an extra place for music and for art. And then we could have a room. And then we could have a room. Versus having it in the area. That put presently they have it because right now. They've got music on the. Room that's off the side of the office. For vocal and for band it wouldn't really work there. And then the stage area and stuff with PE and things. Because that's going to be the issue of specials. And so we could utilize the modules that we have. Again, the idea that those are not permanent. And they're temporary and whatever happens with a bond. Initiative or some other type of change of rearrangement of kids. But it would be the last to have room. And so that's just with that within that resolution. Just explanation or that we have looked at it and we know we have room. So when you close it, I think that would be very important for the board. And the public to know that yes, there is room. Right. So based on what's been published in the paper and the resolution itself. We're not tied to the specifics of what happens after it closes. No. Not that I understand what you're voting on is that resolution that the fifth would go there. And the six will go there, but it can change. As I understand. All we know is once we vote on it, and it's yes, that won't, they won't be going there. Right. We had to put in there the reason why and where the students that are displaced will be going. And then we'll still have to make plans for what we want to do with that building. I guess that is correct. Have you had anybody reach out? Not officially. Not officially. I know originally when this all came up, we had someone hot. There's no, no, you know, once it was officially closed. And I assume and we quote, if the board chooses it declare surplus and sell it. However means you want to do that purple way. And again purple way. I'm just, that's what we do is for buses. And I've been good because it is internet based. There are some things, you know, locally, that you get tend to get better prices than just local. But the feeling has also been sometimes that we just want to keep local. And that doesn't just allow somebody locally to get it. It just isn't made that to pay more. So, but yeah, just like you said, I think it's important that after if the resolution is passed and we're closing it, then we need to get it off of our books. For the reasons that we got into it from the beginning to reduce square footage and reduce cost. Any other comments or questions, concerns about that resolution to close the Paxpo Middle School? If hearing none, then I just need a move to approve. Kelly moves to accept the resolution. Kelly moves to accept the resolution. Is there a second? Second. Jerome seconded. All those opposed, please say aye. Motion carried. All right, thank you. Then moving on to the next discussion item of the bond survey results. You've included your packet of the results. We're now up to 193 online and had 139 mail-in survey results. And just had the latest Excel spreadsheet. Janice compiled it today. But it comes down again that most indicator reasons are the tax increase, tearing down the WHS limestone building, closing of Meikle Hill Elementary, closing of City and Alma, or City Street in Alma, no real detailed plan of what was being proposed. There are other things included, but that's the just of most of the things when you look at the results. And they're pretty consistent in different age groups, too. And would to be expected more of the mail-in surveys were of an older age. And the online, more of the younger, but there's also others of age that have gone online. And it's been all good information. And I think the importance of them wanting to be involved in the decision. And I think that that's seen in throughout the survey. So I think you've got, to me, you're getting what we thought was the reasoning, but more of that in concrete. A little less than 400 people, though. Yep. Of the 2,000 and some of them voted. Yeah, you're exactly right. Pretty good for a third of it. Yeah, I wouldn't argue. And when they told me more, I think I just got mine a little over a week ago. I never got one. You never got one? I think there was just one central to each household. Yes. So there wasn't, if you had four registered voters at the house, you only got one paper survey. Correct. You could go online, obviously, and each do one. Correct. But that would cost more money. She was like, trash. What if you did it online? Well, it's nice to hear from those that are willing to fill it out what direction they'd like us to head, because that's what we do. That's what we're looking for. I appreciate the feedback. Okay. Any other discussion around that for now? Okay. Then we shall move on to the next, which is facilities. I did include in the package two that emails from board members that were sent out. And I appreciate the fact, too, that the board understands that, you know, not to be forwarded. And then we get into an open meetings violation by going back and forth and traversing it through email. I appreciate the fact coming through me and or another board member and asking it to be forwarded out through the office here. So, which is completely legal and binding. And so those were included in that in people's responses. The thing that I guess we need to look into is the fact just a couple of things. In March, if that's a great audit information from the energy solutions professional becoming out, there's more information that came out from the fence about programs that can allow for more of those energy type of things to be included in grant type things. So more opportunities for funding on top of the IGA and their information. The other thing, and we'll talk a little bit about this when we get down to Superintendent Board, the forum piece is the fact that they do cares money, they answer money that can be used for things that include HVAC air quality systems. And so the idea that we were talking about using some of that money, just rough estimates for the entire district, it would have been like somewhere around $70,000 for plasma air scrubber units that you put in the HVAC systems. You don't have to change the filter or anything else. Instead of a MRF-13, which reduces the airflow, you go back to your MRF-8s, have more airflow, so it's easier to go through. And then it takes care of 99.9% of everything that comes through the air. So any allergens, any virus, whether that's flu, COVID, whatever. And again, our basic philosophy is always there from the beginning of this, control, we can control. If we can help control the air quality in the room, your way ahead of the game for everything. I don't know how that would be bad. And so they've included, they being the investment rate on it, people have included that information. We've been really upfront about what we can do to do with that. So I guess the importance then is what the next steps are with our facilities, what you all would like to see. The surveys have gone from, you know, the question of when for the next bond from June was fairly popular. But there are a lot also in November that they'd like to see wait till, quote, the economy is better. And or the idea that COVID related things will be out there and that people can get together and you can get input. And so that's, so I guess the next step for us facilities wise, we need to keep moving. And what you would like to see is the next steps to schedule the town hall, the possible bond election. Interest in the flying for, because I've also been contacted about looking at the National Registry, State Historical Society to see about having the high school and work, the junior high on that. And you've got to apply for it. And then that opens up some things with grants and some other things. But when you do that, like with all monies, there's some things that are tied to it. And so it restricts some things that you're able to do. And included in it, we choose to do that. I would like to have somebody from them come speak to the board about that is an option. And the fact that hearing from a lot of people about wanting an engineer rather than an architect to say what's the structural integrity of the buildings. That's Maria about that. She figured a cost of around $3,000. It could be as high as five. They do not have a structural engineer on their team. There are other architect firms that do that have contacted me and I've been somewhat contact with them. And we're just going outside and hire a structural engineer and they can help us do that as well to come in and give an analysis of the structural integrity of the building. I heard a lot of the same thing in terms of the second opinion.
