Of the ISD 110 School District. Call the meeting to order, seeking a motion to adopt the agenda. So moved. Second. All in favor? Aye. Noting that all members are in attendance. Melanie, hope you're doing well. Mm-hmm. So thank you for being here. Will you please join me in the Pledge of Allegiance? I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. And concerning just, we have no public, so no public comment. All right. Moving on to item four then. Seeking a motion to adopt the minutes of the previous meeting, which were wonderful. So moved. Second. Oh, no. Go ahead. All right. We can just choose randomly. All in favor? Aye. Any opposed? All right. Moving on to item five, the consent agenda. Although board action is required, it is generally unnecessary to hold discussion on these items. In the event a board member wishes to discuss an item, that item will be moved for separate consideration. Would anyone like an item held for separate consideration? All right. Superintendent, any items of note? Yeah. I want to say thank you again this evening to those who have generously donated to our district. We have a Yamaha trumpet donated by the Scare family for the middle school band program, $6,000, and $11,035 donated by the Lake Town PTO, one for software subscriptions and the other for speaker systems in classrooms. $300 donated by Hometown Bank for the high school fishing club. $1,500 donated by Hamburg Hunting and Fishing for the fishing club at the high school. $8,500 donated by the Waconia Alliance for the purchase of four AEDs, and $72,236 donated by the South View PTO for the playground fence, an action item tonight as well, noting the $5,000 that was donated for that project by the Waconia Alliance as well. Again, thank you to all of our generous donors. All right. Thank you so much. Seeking a motion to approve the consent agenda. So moved. Second. All right. All in favor? Aye. Any opposed? All right. Motion carries. Thank you. Moving on to item six and our reports. We have an administrative presentation on summer school. Good evening. Jamie Heiss and I are here to give you an overview on Waconia Summer School. So just to start off with, I just want to do a little bit of background as far as how summer school funding works and all of that. So because we have the WLC, we are considered, we have what's called a state-approved alternative program. That allows us to have extended time, where we can have students before or after school, and we can have that summer programming. At K-8, it's called targeted services. At 9-12, it's called credit recovery. I do have some credit recovery information. Most of our conversation tonight is going to be focused on that targeted services, that K-8 summer school programming. So because we have the WLC, we are also required to do some of these pieces with the summer programming and the extra time. A couple things about the summer programming is we're required to use licensed teachers, and we need to have them licensed in the area they're teaching. So like at the middle school, a math teacher has to teach the math. We can't have an art teacher come and teach the math in the summer. Programs are specifically for students who are struggling. They can't be required to come. Each student has what's called a continual learning plan that's really tied to their needs for graduation or for their foundational skills. And we also have to have year-round services. To get our summer school dollars, we have to have a program before or after school during the school year. So at the middle school, they had a math after-school program, and at the elementary, we had a reading program at one school and a math program at another during the school year. So we don't get the summer programming if we don't have targeted services during the school year. So it's a little bit, you need to make sure you're doing both. And the programming has to be academic-focused. So here's just a little bit of a taste of how the funding works, is that it's connected to our ADM, and so it generates up to 0.2 ADM. So for instance, for a K through six child, that would be $5.47 per student per hour that they come to class. So if they come for three hours, that would be $5.47 per hour. And so that's how Jamie and I figure out staffing, those sorts of things, is we base that on enrollment. And so how many teachers we're going to have, all of that, is based on this ADM. We make sure that how much we spend, we stay within that. We don't use any other general funds for summer school. To give you a little overview on the elementary, in the last three years, we've really worked hard to improve the summer academy at the elementary. A big part of that was based on feedback from parents, feedback from teachers and classroom teachers, also feedback from the people who are teaching summer school. And so we really have worked to have a set curriculum, a very academic day. So they come for five weeks from 8:45 in the morning to 11:15. We do 15 minutes of social emotional learning, and then 75 minutes of literacy, 60 minutes of math instruction. So both of those, what's instructed is based on data that we get in the spring. So we look at the data for each grade level, and we look for trends. What's a place? And we talk to the classroom teachers. Where are students struggling in math? What are some of the foundational skills that they need? And then we tailor the instruction on those mornings specifically to meet their needs. And so the curriculum is very locally developed. We use some of the same things we use during the school year, so some of that language is similar for the students. And then on Thursdays, we have what's called an enrichment activity, and that's an art project or a STEM project or a science project. And we have some people come from out of the district or some special guests come to talk about some things, and the students really enjoy having that extra thing on Thursdays. This year, we had 70 students total at the elementary, which was five teachers and one summer academy lead, and then the class sizes were about 12 to 15. And Jamie's going to tell you about middle school. So in the middle school, it's a little bit different. But we tried to model it also off of the elementary school to kind of, if there were families that had kids in elementary school and in the middle school, the timeline was the same and the calendar was the same. But when they're there, they're running a little bit more of a middle school model. So for our sixth graders, trying to get them into the building and see the building. They did 30 minutes of social emotional learning during their time there. They did 60 minutes of literacy and 60 minutes of math. And with that, the curriculum came from a couple different places. A lot of it was locally created based on the needs. We, again, used the data from the spring to help identify students and then to focus on needs for those students. With math, they used IXL, so they spent part of their time with their targeted learning skills through IXL, and then they did some team-building math-focused games throughout the rest of the time. So they got to do a little bit of both. And then we tried the Rewards Plus reading program, which is tied to Read Basics to help with our reading curriculum. And then we ran Monday through Thursday. That social emotional time is both groups came together. So they were separated by grade, sixth graders with one group and to-be seventh and eighth graders with the other group. And then they came together and got to know each other so those younger kids will get to know some of the older kids and have some familiar faces when they come to the building. And they helped support the edible classroom two days a week, which was great. Got to do something a little bit different and really hands-on. And then they played games together during those other two days. Our numbers were smaller. We had 15 students and only two teachers this year. That's a change from previous years. In the past, they've usually run three teachers. And the class sizes were seven to nine students, again, based on their age. We found that some barriers for families was transportation, so we're looking at how can we model this in a way that's going to be more accessible to students and families for coming years. So some of the feedback we've gotten for the two levels, like Jamie said, is students who do come, we get very positive feedback from. We sent a survey at the end of the year, and 100% of families are either very satisfied or extremely satisfied with summer school. Their students were engaged, happy to come, 100% of them. Some of the comments they had is they like the teachers, the small classes, they love the Thursday activities. Also the feedback from the teachers is they want to keep coming back and teaching, which is great. They really like the set curriculum, all of that pieces that we've done, they feel like they can come and do it. And then just one thing that we're going to keep talking about is that transportation piece, and then just making sure we're updating parents about how their child has grown during summer school and kind of where they are going as they get into the next school year. So then at the high school, we do run credit recovery. And that meets Monday through Thursday for three weeks. It's a little bit more flexible. There's a morning session, an afternoon session. Students can decide when they want to attend, which ones, and which weeks they want to attend. It's available to students in grades 15 through 12. It's for students who have a required course to make up, so an ELA class or a math class or a science class. And again, it's a combination of locally developed curriculum, and then Edmentum, which is a program we use during the school year too for our credit recovery during the school year, and really focusing on the needs of our students. This summer, we had 55 students completed at least one course with four teachers, and those class sizes were about 10 to 15. Any questions? Yeah. So you mentioned transportation is an issue. Yeah. So, I'm assuming that you guys offer it to students that need to do the extra stuff. What would the numbers look like if everybody accepted? What's the percentages of people that accept that out of the total offered? That's a great question. I'd have to go back and look at my list. And so it is teacher recommended only, and so when they go to conferences, they're asked whether they want to do it. We let in any student that wants to. So, I don't choose to get my staffing or things like that until the end of March, once we've seen who's signed up. Off the top of my head, I'm trying to think of my spreadsheets. I don't know the exact number. But a fair amount who say they want to do it, or who are offered it, tend to do it. Okay. And that was not true in the middle school. We offered to, I want to say between 50 and 70, and we had 15 who were able. Wow. Two that signed up and then realized transportation just wasn't going to-- They thought they were going to make it work and got going, and it didn't work for them. So there's a lot of kids that need, but can't get there or parents aren't supportive or- Who could benefit from it. Sure. It's not that they're in dire need, but could benefit. So we offered it to all the families, kids who really need and kids who would benefit- Sure ... but are holding their own. Yeah. And a lot of parents, it's, "We have lots of things going on in the summer," those sorts of things. We do let students come for a couple of weeks. We're flexible as far as that. They're like, "Well, if they can't come all the time." And we're like, "Sure, come when you can." So we try to be flexible with that. But I would say the biggest thing is we have them set up in camps, or they are doing other stuff in the summer. Sure. For the elementary program, do you do it all at one of the schools? Yes. So this year it was all at Southfield. Do you change that every year? Or is it- It depends. At first, we were kind of going back and forth, Kidspace at one and summer school at the other. Bayview is a better space for Kidspace. Mm-hmm. And so that's why it's been at Southfield the last two years. I was just curious if you would take any outcome data, like if you do any pre- or post-testing or have specific goals that the teachers are aware of while they're implementing the curriculum? Yep, so we have their spring data from Fastbridge, and then they all at the end of the year, at the end of summer school, they take Fastbridge again. Oh, okay. So we have that data for them again. Okay. Yep. I should possibly probably already know this, but for the credit recovery, would a student be allowed to walk with the commitment that they're going to do summer school, or do they have to do the summer school in order to get the diploma? District policy on that is they have to have all of their credits completed prior to graduation, with the exception if they had a hiccup during third trimester for one course. Okay. But if it's more than that, then no. They have to have all credits completed. Okay. Do they get a special rah when they're done with the credit recovery, and they get their diplomas? Or- I always tell them, "Stop by the office as soon as you're done, I've got a weekend for you." All right. And just so they're able to recover a whole credit within those three weeks, right, for a course? Like if they didn't pass English, they could pass English in those three weeks. Okay. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. All right, moving on to our action items, and the first one is the presentation of the '26-'27 student handbook. And I'll provide a little introduction, and then I know Principal Sparby is going to come forward here in just a minute. But what you've got coming in, this is for annual review. So every summer, we come forward with the student handbooks for the fall. I want to thank Matt Thomas, he's not with us this evening, but Matt spent a lot of time helping to facilitate this. And board members may recall that in his time here, he spent a lot of time to work with our principals to completely revamp those, make sure that we have consistency and alignment. So you don't see nearly as many changes now as we did once upon a time. But just kind of some updates year over year. And again, did a lot of stuff to improve those. I think what you see in your first attachment is kind of a summary of the changes of the elementary, middle school, and high school handbooks. Most of them are really not very substantive. But Principal Sparby was going to come up because they had the most, I think, changes there and might just explain some of the why behind a handful of those changes and things that happened with. What they're really trying to do is just make sure that it's clear and that things are maybe codified within the student handbook, things that are already in practice, and maybe that's enough setup for you, Mr. Sparby, to just kind of come up and talk through some of the high school changes. And then certainly, I do have principals here, while he's coming up, from all of our levels, that if there's questions on all of them, by all means, I appreciate Dr. Devon and Mr. Clausen for being here as well. Well, I guess for starters was, I think you provided all the documentation and the updates, I guess, was there any questions? I don't know where you would like me to start, or if you had any questions on things that you would like clarity on. In all honesty, a lot of what I have in there is just thanks to Gemini, where we've had policies that haven't been as clear or as transparent, where we've gone in, and I use them to update some of our language to make it more concise and clearer. So as you can see in the updates there, not necessarily changes to policy as much as we just cleaned up language to make it clear and more transparent. If you could just explain the integrity. What is an integrity procedure? So that is something, in all honesty with, as I cite the irony here of me using Gemini to do our handbook- ... AI has just become, it's running rampant, and really hard for our teachers trying to manage that. So we've done things, where like on Schoology, teachers will use a stoplight, right, where they can say each color determines how much AI they can or cannot use to try to be upfront with students. And if it's a red light or no, then you know if you're doing that, you can't be using AI. But it still becomes a lot to manage. And trying to be as consistent across the levels, so that as we navigate this with all of our students, we have a platform to work from so that teachers don't feel like they're in an island in how they're managing some cheating. And we have consistency from one department to the next. And also an attempt to try to educate our students and parents on what our process is and how we're managing it. So what is all in that policy is nothing that we haven't done in the past. But this year I was working with our grading committee, and I got policies from probably four or five schools. I was looking at everything they had, kind of put everything together that worked for us, and then molded it to what we have. So I worked with our grading committee on that and trying to just get a framework of consistency from one teacher to the next. Thank you. Does that answer your question? Yes, it does. Okay. Very well. Yep. All right. If there's no further questions or discussion, then I'll seek a motion to approve the handbook changes. So moved. Second. All in favor? Aye. Any opposed? All right. Thank you. All right, moving to 7B, adoption of the school district 2010 fiscal year ten-year plan. LTFM plan, just to be clear. So good evening. So tonight, we are asking the board to approve the district's fiscal year '28 ten-year LTFM plan, and this is something that's a state-by-state statute, and it's just an annual planning requirement, and we later submit it to MDE. I received some excellent questions with regard to this. So I do want to just take a couple of minutes and maybe just walk through the revenue and expense spreadsheets and just help you understand how they're interconnected together, and then also how they come in with our levy cycle that will be coming up this fall, as well as where it comes then into the fund balance. So the first one I want to go over is the revenue spreadsheet, the revenue projection. So the thing with the revenue projection that you need to understand, and this is money that's coming from Fund 1 into Fund 1, this is the revenue, and Fund 7. So this is our revenue authority that we have with relationship to the bonds we've previously issued and the annual payments we have. And what we actually get in the general fund as it relates to the $380 based on our pupil units, we take the 380 times our pupil units times what our ratio is of our aged buildings. So that goes to the general fund. So that is $1.3 million. Then we have scheduled bond payments for our IAQ and abatement bonds. Those payments that we will be levying for the authority for this next year is going to be $1.3 million. This is '27, it's going to be about $1.3 million in '28. And then, if you recall, we also did facility maintenance bonds. We borrowed against our LTFM dollars. And so those also get taken into account, and that amount is $652,050. So when all of this is said and done, this is what we have the authority to levy based on our Fund 7 and what we get for our Fund 1 levy and aid, and less any of the money that we leveraged against, which in this case is $652K. So if you actually scroll all the way down, this is what's coming into our general fund. So this is the revenue projection. Then on the expenditures, and this is where they're not fully aligned, on the expense side, we're looking at Fund 1 and Fund 6. There's no debt payments that are reflected on the expenditure side. So the revenue, that's our revenue authority. That's just like an in and out. And on the expense side, we're looking at what we're going to spend money on, on health and safety, which is Category One, that's reflected in here. Then you get into these other categories, which is related to money that we've bonded for. And so these are projects. So you're going to never see the expense and the bond line up. So our expenses are going to show based on what we spent on the IAQ project. So like in fiscal year '26, we spent about $6.6 million. That's related to the bonds that were issued in fiscal year '25. And then you get further down here, and then it's looking at the other expense line items that we're planning on spending out of our regular LTFM. And so, what you're seeing here then is the money that we're looking at spending in Fund 6, but you're not actually seeing the issuance of the bonds because we haven't done anything with the bond issuance. And what you're seeing on the revenue side is what we're actually levying for, for those bond annual payments. So are there questions on that? That makes a lot more sense. It is confusing. So where these documents come into play then is we submit them, and then this is what they actually start to use when they start to do our levy cycle runs, when we start getting those runs in August for us to actually present something to you then on a preliminary basis and a final basis in September. And then ultimately, when you authorize the levy in December. So with that, I'm just looking for you to move forward on the approval of the ten-year LTFM plan. All right. Seeking a motion to approve the ten-year LTFM plan. So moved. Second. Any questions? All right. Just a second. I was just going to make sure all my questions were answered. Excellent questions. Yep. I think you got them all. Thank you. All right. This is a roll call vote. Abbott. Aye. Barneda. Aye. Bergstrom. Aye. Hayden. Aye. Kelderbreiden. Aye. Roseen. Aye. Wilson. Aye. Thank you. All right. Motion passes. Thank you. Moving to Item 7C, approving the Southview fence purchase. So this project has been going on for a while. I know we've discussed it at the Finance Committee several times. So I just want to take a moment also to recognize the Southview PTO and their support for this project, as well as the Laconia Alliance Club and their $5,000 donation to the Southview PTO. I have a picture here just showing where the fence is. It's a six-foot commercial grade fence that'll have privacy slats and gates around the playground area. And so with that, we are asking the board to approve awarding of the Southview Elementary Playground privacy fence project to the Shedden Fence Company and to authorize the project to move forward. All right. Seeking a motion to approve the fence for Southwest. Not Southwest, Southview. So moved. Second. All right. Any further questions or discussion? I was just curious. When it comes to the ongoing maintenance of the fence, is that a district responsibility? That's correct. And so in that regard, I think it's important to point out that thanks to Dr. Devine, because I know she's been pursuing this project for some time, but there has been, along the way, consultation with our Buildings and Grounds Department to make sure that that has been reviewed. This has to end up on our long-term plan. The maintenance and the upkeep, they were part of the selection process to make sure that it matches the equipment that we have to maintain, mow, do the other kinds of things with the desires that I know Dr. Devine has for the aesthetics and the safety of kids, et cetera. So, a good collaboration within people to take that into account as well. Good. Yes. We also set aside $2,000 for any other costs that could come up. Some contingencies. Yep. So that it was all being well thought out. I just want to say I'm very impressed with your PTO for raising all- Yep ... of this money. What a huge endeavor, and very impressive purchase. Now, the privacy slats, is that something that's been on the wish list for a while and finally decided to do it this time around? I think it was part of we wanted to have it for some more privacy, especially with the- Hospital ... the hospital. And so it was something that we definitely wanted to make sure that we included it when we put in the new fence. Okay. And the car wash on the other side. Correct. We're just exposed. Mm-hmm. We're in the middle of all kinds of... Any other questions or discussion? All right. All in favor? Aye. Any opposed? All right. Motion carries. Thank you. Mm-hmm. All right. Moving to Item 7D, kitchen and freezer replacement. So this item is a request to replace three pieces of kitchen equipment through the Nutrition Services program. So there's the double-stacked convection ovens at Bay View and Southview, and a reach-in display freezer at the Laconia Middle School. So the ovens at Bay View and Southview just have reached the end of their useful life and have already been removed. And in the middle school, the freezer's really no longer consistently maintaining the temperature required for safe food storage. So the entire purchase will be paid out of Fund 2, of which we have the excess available fund balance. And so administration is recommending the board approve the purchase from Bolter for these items. All right. Seeking a motion to approve the kitchen and freezer replacement. So moved. Second. Any questions or discussion? All right. Quick high level here. Am I accurate that this item and the next one were at least informally discussed at the Finance Committee at some point along the line as well? Correct. So just to make sure that everybody's aware that that was a previous discussion item there, too. All right. All in favor? Aye. Any opposed? Motion carries. Moving on to item 7E, remote meal service compliance. So this item is really primarily compliance driven. So MDE and MDH came, and they did an administrative review. And during that process, they basically told us that at each of our meal service locations, we needed to operate them as individual service sites. And so to do so, we need to be able to actually have a point-of-sale system where we can actually track the student meals, and then we also need to be able to have some refrigerators there that are commercial grade where we can actually store food. So tonight, we're looking for the approval to allow us to bring these three remote sites into compliance. And I just want to point out that it was confusing looking at the quotes, because TriMark and Bolster, when you looked at things individually, TriMark was lower on one and Bolster was lower on the other. But when you looked at them combined, because we were going to do one contract, Bolster was cheaper in totality. So I just want to point that out, because we did separate them because I wanted the board to understand what we were doing from a compliance perspective versus what we're actually doing for a replacement perspective due to exceeding the useful life. So we are looking for the approval tonight to allow to bring these remote sites to compliance and to move forward with Bolster. All right. Seeking a motion to approve the remote meal service compliance. So moved. Second. Any questions or discussion? All right. All in favor? Aye. Any opposed? Motion carries. Thank you. Item 7F, the Waconia Public Schools employee handbook. Good evening. I'm Jenny Supar, the HR director. We recently completed a comprehensive review and update of the employee handbook. The primary goals of the update were to strengthen building security protocols, incorporate relevant employee policies, and establish clear guidelines for staff. We added a summary of several school board policies, Policy 421, which is gifts to employees and school board members, Policy 424, which is license status, Policy 529, staff notifications of violent behavior. We also established a quarterly expense and mileage reimbursement deadline. We clarified language on our mandatory direct deposit requirement, and we added communication prohibiting the propping open of building exterior doors and added language clarifying that using a personal device is at your own risk for employees. We believe this handbook ensures our staff are well-supported and informed, and I welcome any questions you have regarding these changes. All right. So first, seeking a motion to approve the employee handbook revisions for 2026. So moved. Second. Any questions for Jenny? Hi, Jenny. Thank you for highlighting the changes. Yes. That was really helpful. Yeah. You don't want to read the whole thing and try to figure it out. Well, it would've been really dense if we had to read all of the handbooks. At one point, we actually detailed every policy out, and it was 127 pages or something. Wow. So we made it much smaller. Mm-hmm. But we have links, so people can look at all the policies and look at the summaries, too. And hoping that this is precautionary and not reactionary. We always hope that, but there were some things that may have occurred over time that we want to just do enhance our communication on. Okay. Yeah. Understood. All right. Any other questions or discussion? All right. All in favor? Aye. Any opposed? All right. Motion carries. Thank you. And item 7G, Community Education Kids Space Leads and Site Leads work agreement. We're pleased to recommend the following work agreement changes for '26, '27 school year. The summary is that we renamed our, used to be Community Education Kids company leads, site leads, and one-on-one assistance work agreement, and now it is named Community Education Kids Space Leads and Site Leads due to the program name change. We removed all of the references to one-on-one assistance because we do not use that any longer. We changed the full-time definition from six to eight hours to be consistent with other 12-month work agreements. This didn't impact any of our current employees. Previously, employees were given an additional step after receiving a bachelor's degree or master's degree in an undefined field, and we revised that to require an associate degree that is relevant to childcare, education, or similar. The work agreement changes also include a 5% hourly pay rate increase, employee step advancements, and a medical insurance benefit district contribution increase of 10%. This is consistent with what was approved in the budget. We value the dedication and contributions to our employees, and the school district hope these updates reflect our commitment to them. Any questions? Okay. Seeking a motion to approve the Community Ed Kids Space Lead and Site Lead work agreement for 2026, 2027. So moved. Second. Any questions? I had a question. Is this one always one year, this agreement? Or did we do that to line or... Last year, they chose to do a one-year agreement. Okay. So we did another one-year agreement this year. Okay. So is this a bargaining group or just a unit? Because part of it too is a bargaining unit typically would do multiple years, and singular groups that just kind of get are usually one year at a time. It's not a bargaining group. Yeah. This is unaffiliated. It's kind of a group. You want to be fair with your groups, but you kind of get what you're told, correct? Well, yes. Yes. The board makes good, informed decisions- You make absolutely 100% ... in order to come up with a great offering for the employees Typically, those are the groups you see that are one year by one year. One year. Okay. And usually the negotiation process would know what you... Right, yeah. Just pointing out, too, and it's probably clear in the title, but for the board and for the general public, as a community education program, Kids Space therefore has revenue from the fees that people pay to be a part of the program. These are paid from that, so this is fund for not general fund. So it does have to cover the wages and increases based on the fees that are charged or the number of students that they have in programs, et cetera. Also obtain feedback from the employees and the supervisors and managers of the area to make a decision. All right. Any other questions? All right. Just to clarify, sorry, Brent, so you're saying all of the funding, like for the employee salaries and benefits comes from Community Ed? Correct. In a theoretical sense, like every other budget, if Community Education overspent their budget and wasn't generating enough revenue, set aside the fact that yes, I'd have to go in there and say, "We need to fix this problem." Mm-hmm. Fund one bails out everything. Fund one is always the bailout plan. We don't need that. We're not even close. It's a very well-run department, so I don't want anybody to think, well, is that a possibility? Right. It's not, but I just want to make sure that that's clear that somewhere down the line, life happens. That's the bailout fund. Mm-hmm. Thank you. Anything else? All right. All in favor? Aye. Any opposed? Thank you. Motion carries. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Item 7H, resolution relating to the election of school board members and calling the school district general election. So it's just required that everybody's doing this because we do have an election, and I think this is just more of a formality to make sure that our question is on the ballot, and our question is that we have four board positions up for election. All right. Seeking a motion to approve the resolution relating to the election of school board members and calling the school district general election. So moved. Second. Any questions? And this is a roll call vote. Wilson. Aye. Rosene. Aye. Hilger-Frieden. Aye. Higgins. Aye. Hardson. Aye. Arnita. Aye. Janet. Aye. Hamlin. Thank you. And lastly, item 7I, second read board policies. Is there anything that we need to be aware of in particular? I don't think so. These are from so long ago. I guess I- I know ... first of all, I should make the motion first. Seeking a motion to adopt or to approve the second read board policies. So moved Second. All right. Any questions or discussion? A lot of these were pretty vanilla. We talked about them last time. I'm just looking at my notes. There wasn't much for my notes either. If anything, I was curious about the MDE audit recommendations and what the impact was there, but it looked like it was pretty vanilla again. Mm-hmm. Otherwise, I'm not seeing any... All right. So all in favor? Aye. Aye. Any opposed? All right. Motion carries. Thank you very much. All right. Moving on to our discussion items and first read board policies. Okay, so this was our last meeting. As I recall, we pulled a couple of them. We didn't put it in, but I can't remember which ones. We pushed off 423, so that one shouldn't be there, right? I think that's it. Yeah, 423. That's the one we pushed off. That was the one that had all the discussion, is the one we pushed off. And we asked for a presentation about summer school instruction, which was delivered- Boom ... so that we had a little bit more information. 623, there is a lot of information, and in the policy, it does say that it's supposed to be reported to the school board yearly. And so we're going to get into that habit, so we can get a little information on it. And we went to the habit, and there was also some discussion in that regard that at times when these come forward, we may adjust some of them that say yearly reporting for things that don't always change to- Yeah, they don't need- ... periodic or every so many years or otherwise, so that it stays in front or as requested, et cetera. Yes. Yep, absolutely. Cool. All right. Moving to item nine, board committee reports. Reporting for Southwest Metro, we had to fill the superintendent role after the resignation of the superintendent there in May. And we have a spectacular gal. Gal, is that appropriate to say? Who is our new superintendent there. Her name is Heidi Nissler. And of all the interviews, she just came in, it's like she'd just been waiting for that position. So I think she's going to be fabulous there. Step right in, and she's raring to go. So we're good there. And the other thing that I've got to report, as you will have seen, is we will be doing board development with PartnerEd or Partner. I don't know exactly how to say the name. And they should be reaching out to you, as Jess indicated, to have half-hour interviews to prepare for the development session. So be prepared for that. We don't have dates set for that yet, right? Not yet, yeah. She tossed out some dates, the 12th and the 24th. Or what? 27th. 27th, okay. But yeah, I'm just really impressed with them, and I think they're going to bring a good program to us. Mm-hmm. Anybody else have anything to report? Policy committee's pretty quiet right now. Mm-hmm. Cool. Yeah, we're not going to meet again until September, and- Yeah ... there'll be some things coming forward by then, though. Yep. All right. If nothing else, then I will seek a motion to adjourn. So moved. Second. All in favor? Aye. Aye. All right. Every time.
