Uh as always we want to make sure that uh the work that we are doing the work that we are trying to achieve is aligned with the district mission and the vision as always and then also our core values of a tiger the drivers of our words and actions and excellence teamwork belonging and grit. Uh I just wanted to take the opportunity uh at this meeting just to give you some updates on some summer projects that either have started will start have been completed um and so on and so forth. We have four major what I call smallcale projects. The tennis court resurfacing project already happened. It happened earlier uh in June. I believe it was June end of June by the time we got that finished. It was uh interrupted by obviously weather at times, but that project's done. I believe they are in the final stages of completing a final punch list. There was a few things that needed to be addressed before we released the final payment and funds. Uh we do have a parking lot surface resurfacing project going on. If you notice, the parking lot in the front of the buildings here uh is closed off because they're going to be doing some resurfacing that project here. It's not a complete dig up or whatever, but it's a it's an overlay and uh f uh crack filling process there. Uh tennis court lights are uh we have the poles um and I'll show you some pictures here in a little bit. The poles got delivered and so we're getting that means we're getting closer and closer to getting uh the poles up and lights installed. So hopefully at the end of the summer we should have that project complete. And then also over at the intermediate school, you've heard from time to time over the course of the last school year, even at the elementary and intermediate, just, you know, some challenging behaviors, students that are are working through some difficult things. Well, we're going to reorganize our special ed area with some abilities for flexibility of calming rooms, some doors between two classrooms instead of coming out into the hallway and potentially having an issue of a student that's being transferred from room to room. They'll be able to do that all within the special ed area. And this is at the front end of the fourth grade wing. And I'll show you some pictures as well, the work that's undergone there as well. Here's a picture of that just as I said. So, you get they're starting to dig through some things. It's not a huge project. This is basically putting some holes, um, extending some walls, just kind of making sure that our space is utilized for the needs of the kids. There's an example of doorways between two classrooms um that we never had before. So, we're framing those up. Um probably I can tell you the biggest thing that's going to be delayed is door frames. Um they're going to be about 2 three weeks out. So, it'll be close to the beginning of the school year uh when we get the project complete. There's another doorway going into another part of the special ed classrooms that are now divi that were divided. There are the poles that are sitting in the parking lot. And the infinite wisdom of the contractor, they decided to put them in spaces where parking should be and not where we could have put them, which was the memo from Martinez around to the north side of the courts, but we weren't here at the time they got dropped off. So, there they sit. Here's some pictures of the court. They did a really nice job. Um they had to do some things to adjust uh some punch list items, but for overall for the most part the courts really look nice. Um you can see the blue is what was decided to continue on um on that piece. There's a nice picture of the Tigers what they've done. >> Not our tigers. >> Say goodbye. >> Just use this one right there. How about that? Okay. So anyways, that's a little visual update on what we've been doing over the summer and we'll continue to work on right up to the beginning of the school year. Next week starts our leadership preparation for the year. Uh Monday, August 4th, we have an executive leadership team meeting. Uh big parts of those uh discussions is to prepare for our retreat. Um I have a inservice conference on Tuesday the 5th sponsored by the Minnesota Association of School Administrators and the Department of Education. It's called back to school conference. It's an annual conference that's scheduled for the 5th. On Wednesday the 6th, we have our leadership retreat. This is the the entire academic leadership team, the cabinet, the executive leadership team, district office, uh folks, our coordinators, uh curriculum and assessment literacy, uh our mentor coordinators. Um, also we'll have our new health services supervisor there, Christa Watthome, will be part of that leadership retreat. And it won't, it's about a day and a half. It's all day Wednesday and then it's a half day on uh Thursday the morning, but the half day in the morning is just the cabinet and uh the district office team and the executive leadership team. The big time period with the majority of people there is going to be on the 6th. We actually are going to house this retreat at the D new DMU building out on the west metro um commercial business park and uh that now is part the city owns that building was originally uh designed and built by Randy Sanitation and then when Randy sold their company to New Republic uh the city got a really good deal and so it's nice to see what the private sector gets to put in their buildings as opposed to what the public sector does. So, we're going to be in a really super nice facility out there and uh all day and and and really have a good opportunity to kick the year off in a good professional way and allow people to really share what they're doing. A lot of work with that implementing the strategic plan. And then also then on the following week, Wednesday, August 13th is the all county safe schools meeting. And this 18th, the following week after that is all new teachers come in for their in services. And then the week after that, everybody comes in. All teachers and paras join the rest of the folks that have been here working through the summer and then first day of school. So, starting next week, it's four weeks of boom, get to work, get prepared, get doing everything, and then first day of school will be here before we know it. Any questions for your superintendent? >> Thank you, Matt. Where did the summer go? All right. Next is Miss Mary Reer. Didn't share my PowerPoint with him, so it's just going to be a PDF, unfortunately. So, I apologize, but um just if you flip to page two of the um the next page, you're going to see that we are getting close to 100% of because this is looking at June of 25. So, the revenues are only they're a little under 93%, that's because I haven't booked any of the state or federal receivables yet. And our state gened receivable is usually about a million dollars. So, we're getting close. not quite there yet, but we have still some receivables to be taken in. Our expenses are very close. They're 97%. Um, we still have a few outstanding invoices. I know that'll be coming in. Um, we always get build from MASCO after they've paid out like all of their salaries and stuff in June in August. So, I'm hoping to have that information here shortly, but that will be one of our biggest ones. but we'll have some care and treatment invoices from other school districts that will come in and those still trickle in any time up to the audit time and then we still have some um utilities for June that we pay for in July that get booked back into the prior year. So that kind of we're getting very close and then you'll see with like food service I underbudgeted on the revenue so we're already at a little over 100% expenditures a little under 97%. I've gotten my thing right here. I just wanted to see where you're at. Community services, their revenue was 105% over, but a lot of for both food service and community ed, I had underbudgeted for um interest. So, their interest came in a little higher. Plus, they had some really big revenue came in here in June that on the community service side. That looks great. So, they're doing they're very healthy. And then debt service. I still have a state receivable to be re um recognizing there for the revenues piece, but we're very close on all of the the others that don't have any further expenditures or revenues really to be booked in. So that's the big thing there. Um I've kept that one little thing in there still showing that our we're spending around 64 65% of most of our expenditures are in the classroom and we've continued to do that just as we did before. So, the unassigned fund balance or the projected unassigned fund balance still is the same as what we were looking at last year. Deficit spending a little over $200,000. Um, again, we just haven't booked all the state and federal receivables yet, but all the salaries are booked and just waiting for some final invoices. But 2526 budget, I didn't change this. This is still what it was last month. There hasn't been any new exciting things. We did hear that the federal government is going to start releasing some of the funds, but one of the areas that I'm looking at is title two and title four because originally they're saying yes, we were going to get it. Then they pulled it back and they're talking about summer program funding and other types of funding. So I don't know if two and four are part of that, but if we don't get those funds, we're talking probably another 20 to $30,000 of lost funding if they don't end up releasing those. So, any questions? Thank you, >> Mary. Thanks, >> Mary. Next up, we have a community education director, Miss >> Welcome. >> Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Um, thank you for having me. It it was a few months since I've been here last, but it it feels like it went really fast and and here we are wrapping up my my first month with Delano Community Ed. Um, I just want to quickly talk a little bit about the last month. It's been um, it's been absolutely fantastic. Everybody has been so welcoming and so kind and and reaching out and stopping by. And really, my focus has been people. Um, not just knowing names and faces, but getting to know people, making those connections. I think it's important to know that Haley survived her camping trip to the Black Hills in a tent and Megan had a great concert with her sister and you know Sandy went to Charleston with her husband and grandson. I think that's important to know and so really my my focus has been on people um meeting the team getting to know everybody and really my commitment to them is is support. You know, change is good, but change is also a lot of work. And they've had a lot of change, and we'll continue to always have change. It grows our capacity. It's good to challenge us. But what I want to do is is really listen and learn and find ways to support them because as that team, we have really great staff. We have really great programs. And so, we're going to make the largest impact if I can support them in doing well what they already do. So, um, you know, the last couple of weeks, I've really had an opportunity to see Tiger Kids Club. um and the over 200 students and about 70ome staff. And this year is a little different for us and not everybody's in the community ed building. And you know, by and large, the feedback that we've gotten has been really positive. Um staff are really enjoying being together. There's uh resource sharing and collaboration and just a togetherness, a connectedness between staff that they say, you know, is sometimes difficult when you're in in other buildings. Um, you know, one of the biggest hurdles of everybody being at the community ed building is the transportation. You know, by and large, the very vast majority of our youth programs happen out here at campus. And so, Mr. Nate Brisley was tapped on the shoulder to be the designated driver for Tiger Kids Club. And he so far this uh summer has transported 3,500 students back and forth. and he said, you know, it's just another way that Tiger Kids Club is committed to providing that safe and nurturing environment, but also making sure that students have the opportunity to participate in the greater programs and throughout the community community. And so, um, he's been really great. You can see that with him and some of the student aids, they just have everybody organized and and going back and forth. And I think some of these 90° days, they appreciate not having to walk. there's some pink cheeks running around and um you know that's one of our goals as always to send them home a little tired. If we can do that we feel like you know we give the parents a little a little boost. Um looking ahead I've I've had the opportunity in the last couple of weeks to attend a spirit of community commission meeting. Um I've been able to attend a United Way meeting. We have friends of the senior center coming up. And that's really what I want to do. I want to get my name out there. I want to meet people. I want to be part of the community. And so, um, we're pulling together the advisory council here in early September. So, I'm excited about that. Um, and you know, as we wrap up summer, and I don't wish summer away, but I'm excited for back to school and to meet new staff, and I'm excited for the year and and beyond. So, any questions for me? >> Is it true or fake news that EKC had to turn kids away because they're at capacity? Is this true? >> We have a waiting list. We have a waiting list for follow. Yeah, every year we do, I think. >> And it's a real it's a big balance on, you know, the numbers of students that we have by grade, the numbers of staff that we have, the staff to student ratio. So, there's a multiple or multitude of factors, but in talking with um Rachel Wallace, the coordinator, that's something that she really wants to dive into. How can we make sure that we're providing as many opportunities for families that need it? Um, and what does that look like in, you know, in a sustainable way for the the program? Any other questions? Right. >> Well, thanks for having me. I appreciate being here. >> Thank you. >> All right. Next up is board reports. The first one is MSCO. Normally that's provided by Sarah. I don't um minutes are attached to the agenda. Um next item is right tech center. Um, >> so you mentioned I missed two meetings, but our next meeting is actually August 5th, so it wouldn't have been on there yet. >> Got it. So make sure that it's the new director's name is Brian Nutter. Um, he's reached out to all the board members to have a one-on-one meeting just to meet us all. And I'm meeting him this week for coffee and just to get to know him a little bit. Um, excited. He's he's excited about the program. It's one of few one of very few I believe in Minnesota that does this cooperative tech school type stuff. I'm excited for re-evaluating all the programs that are offered to make sure that they're all still relevant and that this is the needs of our of our students. >> That's it. >> Thanks J. Next item is um a statement related to uh the superintendent's um annual performance review. This past year we've had frankly u quite a a few updates given the new process that we've decided to have within um the board. Um the board we evaluated um the superintendent in the following areas. Developing emergency procedures, strategic planning, district operations and communication and district processes. Superintendent Shane met with the board expectations in developing emergency procedures, QC comp achievement for the first time in quite a while, which is exciting. Strategic planning uh and district operations. These are areas of strength for Superintendent Shane. Recognizing the value of continuous improvement for all employees of the district, the board has identified communication and district processes as areas of potential growth. The board is grateful to Superintendent Shane for the leadership and service to the district. So, thank you that moving uh next item is old business. There is no old business, so we'll move on to new business. Um, there are quite a few policies that have first and only read. Um, this is items 12A through 12. OP is just first read. >> Yeah, they're just bundled together. >> One only reads. It's just the first out. Right. So, >> your first actions just on 128. >> I was trying to do all the public comments out of the way. >> Oh, sweet. Can you do that? >> I thought I board chair has done it before.
