First related to the 26 27 and 2728 draft calendars. Um just to let the community know that um or I guess a reminder that we have moved now to approving both a final calendar for the next year and a draft calendar for um the year after that. And so um families in the district, staff in the district can kind of plan um two years out based on uh that draft calendar.

As always, thank you so much for um looking out not only for the students that are here, but for their futures by donating to the various scholarship funds. Um it is um greatly appreciated by our students and and thank you thank you for not only today but for their futures tomorrow.

Um, we had a great deal of discussion on this. Um, and, um, I'm confident that not only did we get the best bid, um, but there was an awful lot of work that went into getting us a really great rate when so many um, there some of the the increases that I was seeing elsewhere were were were quite frankly um terrifying.

I do want to just acknowledge though that moving to a new insurance provider um, does, you know, have some impact on employees. um and we recognize that and that is part of the discussion both at the health insurance committee and at the board table when we look at those things.

So some staff on this list have a tier one or a tier two license through um, Pillsby. And a tier two license is only good for two years. A tier one's only good for one year. So you have to renew it, but you have to non-renew them. So this way um, there's staff we want to bring back either on a tier one, a tier two um, or an out of field and we're able to get the positions posted and get them hired back instead of waiting until the end of the school year.

Just the word non-renewal sounds so it's a formality for some so extreme right

Um the two as discussed that we had uh two lower bids. They were the lowest. Um and the two lowest bids were the people that showed up for the pre-construction meeting. Um so that gave us some confidence as well besides the conversation.

And as you said, this was that that bid was um, made by somebody who has a very good reputation and also we're here in person like you said, which gave us a lot more confidence in in accepting that.

And just to quickly the uh school district completes a federal single audit um or is required to complete a federal single audit when we have federal programs that exceed $750,000. And depending on how many programs we have that exceed that is depending on how many programs that they look at um and uh as you can the report is attached to this and um it's it's an unf unmodified um uh audit report um which is the best uh finding that the audit firm can give us

I kind of want to just let our constituency know that the finding uh that was actually found was kind of minor in you know they called it a significant deficiency but I would say that because of the timing and kind of the challenge of making sure we have all the ducks in a row um I didn't think it was a big deal. So, let's just say um I I believe that this report um may may be look looked at as amplified, but I don't think it's it needs to be that way because the word significant deficiency does sound bad.

So our wireless access points, our network switching um fall into that and uh technology changes fast and um needs for the students in their classrooms with all their devices grows quickly um and so um these are incredibly important funds. So if you ever hear about -ate funding and a risk to it, that's something we need to pay attention to um because it is very important for our school systems in maintaining that network infrastructure to support the students and their devices for learning.

So my rough math then is that approximately around $48,000 would be coming then unreimbured out of the capital projects levy. Okay. Thank which which the capital projects levy will will support.
