Our priorities personalize learning in the pursuit of academic excellence, inspire students and staff to develop their character, share their talents and apply their learning. And three, maintain excellence in resource management. Uh, brings us on to the visitor section. Were there any more that didn't get turned in at all? Okay. And I will move on to uh the approval of the agenda. Is there any questions on the agenda? >> Otherwise, I would entertain a motion to approve. >> I make a motion to approve the agenda as written. >> Second. >> Motion and a second. All in favor say I. >> I. >> All right. Motion carries. Uh on to reports. Uh we'll go with the superintendent report. >> Yeah. Um I just noticed when I clicked on it. Um and it looks like the link for the superintendent report is just so I have I have mine. We'll get that. >> Let me fix that. >> We'll get that fixed here. >> Kept clicking and clicking and doing something wrong. >> It's not you. Yeah, >> I heard that plenty while growing up. Anyway, um so uh one of the things that we've been um working on um on the policy uh side um was uh there's been a couple of um hanging threads or or not tied up threads on some policies relating to um if the public wants to challenge uh curriculum that's being taught in a school or a book that's in a library or a classroom. And so this um as I as I wrote about this can potentially be a pretty controversial issue on >> Can you enlarge that? >> Absolutely. >> Thank you. Sorry. >> Yeah, no problem. >> Thank you. >> Yeah. Uh so this can potentially be um a controversial issue. Uh what I have found in a couple of challenges that I've had to navigate is that just having a clear process from the outset really provides a good structure and helps individuals who are going to challenge um these items uh to feel like they're being dealt with fairly regardless of what the result ends up being. So um we also did the uh principal interviews for the primary school. Um as has already been announced, Mr. H is going to be um promoted to from assistant principal to uh principal to primary school and then that officially starts with the new fiscal year on July 1st. >> Um the only other thing that I really wanted to highlight um were our profile for graduate listening sessions. Um, as I'm continuing to work on getting things ready for the next years of uh doing a better job with our profile graduate, I've done um listening sessions now with quite a few students and instructional staff members. Um had another one this afternoon with high school uh faculty and then I have some more um tomorrow afternoon at primary school and then I'm meeting with a bunch of middle school students this week. Um, I'm just really grateful for the honesty that these folks have been sharing with me so far. Um, there's definitely some successes that have happened. A lot of a lot of kids specifically are pointing to they can see how these these six C's um are super useful and they're grateful for a chance to like point out, hey, this is happening in your classroom. And sometimes a couple of them have sort of epiphany revelatory moments like, "Oh, that's collaboration or whatever." Um, in other ways, uh, and the kids are just so lovely at this, they they just point out like sometimes this just feels super arbitrary, like forced, and is there a way is there a way that this could this could feel more natural? So, they've talked about a couple of projects where they're required from their perspective to kind of put a round peg into a square hole. Um, so, um, more to come on that. Um, and if I remember right, I think we said the June work session is when I was going to host the school board's work, um, the school board's listening session on the profile of a graduate. Um I'm also there's a kind of a weekto week listening session with the leadership team that's been um has resulted in some very pointed and vigorous discussion um in a really great way. So, >> um, the last thing I wanted to point out is, um, I, yeah, I hosted, um, a tabletop scenario with the leadership, um, where we basically laid out this map and put a a time watch on it with, uh, with Ansel just so that we could see, you know, in the event that the worst was to happen in the school, um, how long do we have to hold serve at the school and what actions are we taking before somebody arrives to help? Um, and how do we navigate appreciate that. And so I had never really done been involved either as a teacher or a leader previously in a tabletop scenario like that. And I was um until about 3 weeks ago and it really called into question things like well do you have a radio with you? If you don't have a radio, how do you connect to the office? What do you tell the office when you're calling to say that there's somebody really suspicious out here? You know, at what point does the secretary decide if if they are the only one answering the phone and there isn't anyone else in the office? To what extent does the secretary feel comfortable locking down an entire school on their own without seeking somebody else's approval? And what happens in all of this case if the principal is back in a fifth grade classroom subbing for the teacher that wasn't there today? And so these things call into I mean this is the everyday life of things that happen in school. Um, and um, and I was really proud of our leadership team for participating faithfully, but also like taking some of these things to heart, like, boy, we haven't ever really talked through what this actually looks like. >> Um, including in the scenario that we had, we had the intruder entering um, at the intermediate school um, right in the commons area. Um and so part of what we were talking about was well do we have you know like in the case of Taher employees are they fully trained on >> knowing what to do and how to lock down and what our hoped response for >> hope for responses. So so anyways um the this this effort to more fully prepare our staff and our our schools for um for emergencies is really going to reach a fever pitch next school year. Um, all of our school buildings, one of their school goals is to fully implement the standard response protocol that I've been talking about in the reunification method that we've been practicing. Um, and so we look forward to having a consistent approach with the same verbiage and the same response across across all of our schools. So >> there. Great. >> Thank you. Any questions for Nate? Was there do you guys was it just the leadership team or was it um law enforcement this time too or not? >> Yes, Officer Dirks was going to show up um but he had to attend to something else. >> He told me after the fact, but I had him all planned to show up. Um one of the interesting things that he pointed out is that he felt like from the time 911 was called um it would take about five minutes for somebody to get to one of our schools. And so when we when we did the stopwatch >> and the clock during the scenario, it was >> well what what are the things that we're doing for five minutes? And >> when it feels like a long time in an emergency. >> Yeah. Because it was help me remember. I mean it was a minute and a half from the start of the scenario to the time when the intruder entered the building. >> Okay. and and then you we still have another three and a half minutes of things that are going to happen >> before somebody else shows up. So, I mean it just I had never done it with like a watch before where it's like >> oh boy this I mean five minutes seems quick but it's not >> right right >> five minutes ever. >> It's the longest five minutes ever. Yeah. So it was just with the leadership team and the intent is for us to be exposed to these kinds of scenarios so that then our leadership team can turn around and those people that they lead that they can feel comfortable running these scenarios and they can understand how it feels to be a part of those. Any other questions? >> Awesome. >> Thank you. >> Thanks Nate. Uh on to the financial update, John. >> Okay, so um here is our wonderful wall of numbers. Um it was pointed out that our expenditures >> Sorry, scroll for a second. >> Sorry, did you say up, down, or to the side? >> To the right. >> To the right. Thank you. >> Yeah. >> So the 24 and 25 are the same due to a formula issue on the uh >> so this section. >> Yeah. So if you're going to compare year to year that's not do what we needed to do but the 26 is the accurate one that's what we're concerned of um at this point we are 83% of the way through the fiscal year on a 12-month basis um so we would obviously expect all of our to be at or below that um our teaching salaries are we're only 75% of the way through our our salaries and wages for our instructional staff we would expect to be at least that number or below. And uh you can see with the salaries and wages, we're at 69% on salaries and wages and 68.5 on employee benefits. So we're running well and conservative there, which is a very good sign. um in this where we're at right now at best we're going to have our expenditures over budget which is a great way to be right um at the at the worst case scenario we'll end up right out of the budget projections so overall with spending at 70% we're below where we would look where we expect to be so that's that's a good thing it shows that we're being conservative with everything that we're doing. Um, of course, our summer approvals are going to swing that percentage back up when we get the July and August payments in there. But overall, that's everything is showing a good indicator of financial health. >> Is curriculum for next year already included in here then? >> Nope. >> Okay. So, when when would that come out of the budget? >> That will come out of this year's budget. It'll come out of next year's budget. >> Okay. So when we get to financial reports for like July, August, >> we'll see a pretty decent spike right away. Okay. >> Right away in the uh supplies. >> So that one usually that one usually burns fairly quickly. >> Okay. >> The beginning of the year where we're getting those curricular pieces ordered and >> getting the supplies ready to go for when kids come back in August. So >> could you help me know? Would that then be in this supplies materials line then? >> Yeah. refer. >> Yeah, most of them are going to fall into supplies, materials. Some of them may fall into purchase services depending on what they actually are >> like the subscription. >> Yeah, subscription will fall there. >> Awesome. Any questions? Any other questions, I should say? >> No, we just dug through this at the budget meeting and there was nothing that came up there either. >> Awesome. Perfect. Uh no hold or unfinished business. So we'll move on to new business. Uh we will do action on the fiscal year 2627 school board calendar. >> We discussed this at the work session. Does anyone have any questions or concerns? Are you all ready to vote on it? >> Stole words right out of my mouth. >> Okay. >> I was I was relooking at it and I saw the highlighted yellow there. like one second thing. I got myself here. >> You're just more patient than I am. >> It's all good. Um, any questions? Otherwise, I would entertain a motion to approve. >> I entertain a motion to approve the uh calendar as is. >> Second. >> Motion is second. All in favor say I. >> I. Motion carries. Uh, action on the 26 27 handbooks. We got to do them each individually or can we do them all at one time? >> You can do them all together. >> Okay. >> Yeah, because we've already discussed them all, >> right? >> Yep. At the work session, we discussed them all. >> I didn't see that revision was made to the primary school. >> It was just the work. >> Yep. >> And then I think you brought up the last meeting, no cutting at middle school level activities, those were big things. >> Yep. And just one more time, a reminder once we pass this, these these kind of rise to the same level as your board policies do, >> right? >> So we we do refer to the handbooks. They are super useful when there's contentious issues. Um they help they help us drive things as straight as can be driven in the school. >> Yeah, I hope that looks really good. Um one other thing that I don't remember which um school. It was one of them had talked about the um a gift amount. It said it was changed to $100 that teachers would were able to accept like a a gift up to $100. Did we talk about that amount at the last >> We talked about it, but it shouldn't be that much. >> Should be like five bucks. >> Well, as someone who likes to gift teachers, I disagree. I actually >> the state law says otherwise. So >> yeah. So what does >> Okay. Okay. $5. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. It's a it's a state law. >> And maybe let me look at the way it was written because >> that is in the primary school. >> It is. It's on on page 16. Gifts to employees. Gifts from a student, parent, or other individual organization. Unsolicited gifts may be accepted by staff not to exceed $100. And it says either this or define nominal value >> $16 or 16 >> page 16. >> I feel like I mean sometimes parents go together and get something that you know bushes or you know whatever just your ears. I'm just kidding. Yeah. Whatever the law says is what we should do. >> Pull this one and have them revise it and then we can just add the primary one. to the next meeting. >> So, >> but is this I mean this is a policy I would assume across the entire district obviously. >> Wouldn't it be in all of them then? >> I don't remember. I don't think it is. I mean, uh >> speaking as a poor high school teacher, I didn't get nearly the amount of gifts in elementary. >> Maybe you should have been nicer. >> What? That was super nice. >> I mean, when you have, you know, a six block schedule, it's a little bit different on the budget. >> The intermediate does not have a dollar amount. >> What page is the intermediate? >> State guidelines open. State guidelines generally identify insignificant momentum such as a trinket pack or a small token reset value under $5 >> as do you think it's okay for them to all just say nominal value like it doesn't I feel like that's >> that if the legislature changes it's coffee. >> Yeah, it says the same thing. >> It can it can change too. >> And the high school is the >> Yeah. So I think the it looks like the intermediate, middle, and high school have the second language. >> Okay. So maybe the primary just change that. Okay, that was the only thing that stood out to me. >> Not going to lie, sometimes a wall of text so much is I miss a detail. >> Yeah. Well, first time around I didn't remember >> and each of them are 40 pages. >> Yes. >> 19. >> All right. And in the past when the principles I I mean I I know that in each of these handbooks there wasn't a lot of changes this time around. >> Um in the at least when I was doing handbooks like this I would have the new handbooks but then I'd have like a list of any changes that I made. Have we done something like that in the past? >> Mostly because then it would save certain individuals from having to read. >> Yes. Sometimes but not consistently. So that would be a better practice going forward >> maybe. Yeah. Thank you for >> that. There is a difference between a gift from like an interested person versus a gift from parents too. >> Okay. >> You know, like if if a vendor were to provide a gift for you guys, that's a whole different story than parents giving a gift to a teacher, >> right? >> Right. >> You could have a different dollar amount there depending on what you want to term as nominal. >> And you can make a difference. You make a differentiation between a single gift and a gift from like a group. So like >> say a sports team wants to go together for a gift for their coach, >> right? >> That kind of thing. You can make a difference there, too. >> Do you feel like maybe we're in a better spot if instead of having like a specific dollar amount that it's more like we use words to describe as those are open to interpretation? It's kind of whatever you guys want to do. >> I don't mind that we use the word nominal and leave it up to each principal to kind of set the bar wherever they think that's appropriate, but I understand if everyone's not comfortable with that. >> It's better that way. >> Do you have a preference? >> No. No. I My only preference is uh make it a little gray. >> Yeah. Yeah. hates gray. >> Yeah, >> I know. I looked at Sean when I said that, >> but um but mostly because it's like at the same time like Alicia showed you to like there are some parents who love doing that. Like that's kind of their love language or families. That's that's what they want to do. And um it's okay to have benefits for people in education every now and then. >> Right. So, and were you making that change now or? >> Well, there's no motion yet, but if somebody wants to make a motion, um, they could just make the motion without the primary. >> Okay. >> And then I'll just include it in the minutes that it needs to be brought back. >> Okay. >> Any other questions? >> You're good. >> I motion to approve the 20 26 27 handbooks as presented except for the primary school handbook. I need the change to the employee gifts. >> Second >> motion and a second. All in favor say I. >> I. >> I. >> Motion carries. Primary school will be on old unfinished business. Um next is action on the food service bid award. Okay. So um this past fall at the direction of This past fall was here for an audit um and they directed the district they said yeah we should uh go out for bids this year. We were in year four out of our max 5 contract with um and they really pushed for us to go to a fixed cost form of contract as opposed to our reimburseable contract. Um their logic there was um this provides for easier budgeting because X price is X dollars per meal. So you serve as many meals away you go. Um and then they also said that that shifts the risk of rising food costs on the food service management company to the district. Um so we followed the MB RFP process starting in late February early March. Um we went through and we have the big calculator. >> This is something that's provided by MD. >> Um MD says that major the highest amount of points has to be awarded based on price. And then the other nonpric criteria are um set by the district so we can decide what we want to put there and assign the values to them. >> Um so we put this proposal out had our pre proposal meeting everything like that. Um bids were received on April 24th. We had four companies that submitted bits to us, which was really good. I think we had six or seven that had at least expressed interest in it. So, um, clearly we were popular this frame. So, that was really nice. Um, so when we got those bids, uh, Jen Hegma, Jen, and I sat down and reviewed the bids. Um, a lot of binders. Interesting process. Obviously, we can evaluate based on what we've seen. the other three companies worked based on what we what we're seeing in the binders and then um once we narrowed it down to the top two then did some conversations with some some of my colleagues that I knew at Charl to see you know what was their experience with them um and things like that basically reference checks people and then even in this past week at the suggestion of Jerry reached out to another district that had chars and uh got some further information there. Um and the overwhelming response was they were happy with the service they're getting with Tartwells. Um they do a really nice job with compliance and they do fantastic job of auto support which obviously auto support is important to me. So the three of us, the two and I scored out and this is the result. As you can see at the top there,000 difference >> just And so with Taher, did we not have fixed pricing? >> No, we had reimburseable. >> We didn't. Okay. >> And do they have any kind of a model that could go with fixed pricing? >> Every one of the proposals was fixed. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Every everybody did the same the same way. >> Okay. >> Yeah. One question I asked Sean was um what happens to our food service staff and just In case you don't know, um Debbie and Jay have non-compete contracts, so they would not be able to continue their employment here, but um employment would theoretically be offered to the rest of the staff. >> Yes. >> And so is Debbie, she's not an employee of Topper, though. >> She is. Okay. actually all >> any other questions. >> Are some of the staff planning on staying? >> So, does that have to go individual? Like, >> so it's my understanding that um Mr. >> Um, if the contract is approved tonight, then Charles is planning on going around in the buildings tomorrow to meet with the staff and kind of talk to them through like the next steps in the process and how that would look for them, what they can expect. So then all the employees, food workers are all not school district employees. >> And other than that, are there any other like specific changes that the students would notice? It sounds like the meals were pretty comparable. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Yeah. The the proposals all had very detailed values. >> Okay. >> For what to expect. >> Okay. And remind me how long the contract is. one year with with four option. >> Okay. Okay. So, after one year, if it's not working out, we could >> theoretically go theoretically, >> if you'd like me to be as bald as we could in theory do that. >> Okay. >> Um that wouldn't necessarily be a great look to the district. >> Of course. Of course. >> Yeah. >> But yes, if it if it was a unmitigated disaster, questions. Any other questions? >> I don't really have a question, but I just I just don't feel good about the relationship then with Debbie Frank. you know, they have a history here and I don't feel good about having them be gone. I agree. I agree. Um, 18 years is a long time. Um, I've thought about that a lot since we first talked about this. Was it two weeks ago? when we first and what it boiled down to to me was yes, but that is it is frankly heartbreaking and I actually got te thinking about it if I'm being completely honest because I know they're beloved. Um, and when I took this position, I vowed to be a good financial steward to our district. And it's a lot of money. >> Thank you for saying that. >> It is the exact mindset >> I was going down as well. >> It's never fun, never easy. a great thing to >> especially when it's wonderful employees. >> Any other questions, comments? So, your recommendation is going to char Any other questions? Otherwise, entertain motion. I motion to approve the um awarding of the food service management company contract to chartwells beginning in July of 2026. I'm going to make a second. We need more time to discuss. Do we want a the rest of the board to be here? >> I would like I heard your concern. Obviously, I'd like to hear your concerns. Carrie, I'm not ready to make a second. Yeah, I think for for me I know it's it's an emotional it's an emotional thing. I do have another question. Can I still ask a question? >> So with with the difference in money, right? Is that because of lack of two employees or is that is that including two more employees? Two >> it's adding two more place. >> Okay. >> Because the RFP was written so that they would have those positions. So that is the true savings like no Charles will also provide a chef and a director. >> Okay. >> It won't it just won't be >> Debbie or J >> because they have not and it's standard for those positions to be separately contracted. Okay. >> Within like the talkers and the char so we have the right people there. >> And I know how the MDE can be. So when you're looking at the MDE kind of saying this is what you should do or kind of like you know directing you towards that um is what does that was that like a threat to that? No >> like I mean they take away birthdays and all the other stuff. I mean I just curious. No valid question. No, it was they they wanted to push towards the the cost the fixed cost contract was really what they wanted to do. because they in their eyes and it makes sense they want to try and protect the district from like the rising food cost and it is a lot easier to budget if we don't say okay we're going to serve this many meals it's going to cost this much per meal we're get this much reimbursement so then we should see our fund balance increase by this amount every year >> okay one last question >> with um the role play stuff you had mentioned about like people being prepared. You know, you mentioned hire earlier. Is that something that Tartwell Wells is already kind of like >> No, generally school districts take that on because each district has kind of their own response plans and and how we deal with that. And each district is just different enough to where um you know, we aren't we shouldn't leave that to our contracted providers to provide that. because >> we still have a motion on the table. >> That's your issue that >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Is there any in any additional information that I don't want to pressure you to make a decision you don't want to make. I just want to make sure that we aren't delaying this just because there's not questions answered or information provided. >> Well, I'll second motion. >> Okay. A motion and a second has been made. All in favor say I. >> I. >> All opposed? >> No. Motion carries 3 to one. Uh, Charles has been awarded the bid. Um, moving on to action on the trash hauling bid. Okay. So, this came up as just a standard. It was time to do bids for this particular service as well. Um, So, we followed this not as stringent of an RFP process. Um, whereas I just wrote out what we had um and sent out bids to um Harters as well as Aspen because Aspen had come around not too terribly long before the RFP went out >> and we posted on our website, posted in the newspaper, everything like that. Um, and uh the initial bits came in vastly different. So, then I had to do a little bit of digging to make sure that I was comparing apples to trash hauling. It's a little bit different, right? And uh the end result was a $6 difference in monthly cost between harders and aspect. >> So $72 a year. >> Yeah. >> Um and harders, they've been very um say understanding of some of our overflowing dumpsters from time to time as we've had activities at the high school or at the middle school. Um and they've provided, you know, rolloffs for the community service day and things like that. So for $72 a year, I feel like it's probably a good choice to stick with. >> And are we locked in then? Is that a yearly rate or fiveyear or >> that one is a three year? >> Three year. Okay. That stays the same for those three years. >> Okay. So my question would be kind of like with the the food service, do you kind of point value them same way kind of thing? Because typically >> No, they're not they're not quite the same because the food service one has a lot of federal dollars tied behind it. >> Okay. >> In the in the revenue that we get from the through the state for the uh national school lunch program. Right. >> So, this one is more of a, you know, this is, you know, what we want to do is sit for for the $6 difference a month. We could >> point to the fact that, you know, we've had harders. They've done a good job. It's not as stringent on that. You must take the >> 100% lowest bit. >> So, >> yeah, I feel like we have a good relationship with them and they're local company. Are they based in Byron? I >> feel like they're brand new. >> I don't think they're based in Byron, but I I mean I think they both It sounds like they both are really great companies. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I have AS Home. So, >> yeah, >> I know I know how they do it residential. I see what Harters does for >> for the district. >> Perfect. >> Any other questions on the trash hauling bid? Otherwise, I would entertain a motion upon the recommendation to go with harders. >> I make a motion to approve harders for uh trash hauling contract. >> Second. >> Motion and a second. All in favor say I. >> I. >> I. >> Motion carries. Harters has won the bid. Uh on to action on the 2627 MHSL resolution for membership. >> The um we belong to the Minnesota State High School League for activities. Um these govern um basically all sorts of uh sports and clubs and activities 7 through 12. Um, and this is just the official motion that you take up uh year over year to continue on to the MSHSL. Um, beyond just being a part of a larger organization that gives us access to state section and regional tournaments. Um the state high school league pro helps helps us maintain access to um properly trained officials and trainers. Um anyway, I mean it's it's kind of the whole activity side of our program. Um and belonging to the state high school league is is uh there's a lot of benefits that are carried with it. In the event you were uninterested in belonging to the state high school league um whatever the reason might be. One of the consequences of that is that u all of the basically we we schedule games um but we aren't going to be able to participate in state high school league tournaments or awards. Um and also there are scholarships and recognition uh things that happen with our our um students and our coaches and adviserss that we would not be able to be part of anymore. Any questions about the Minnesota State High School League membership renewal? >> Do we need to read it all? >> Okay, perfect. >> You do need a vote. >> Yes. >> Yes. I motion to approve the resolution for membership of that just HSL 26 to 27 second >> motion and a second because it's a resolution we got to do roll call >> I >> David >> I >> motion carries on to action on article six section one change to principal contract I remember my >> I know >> anyway um with the promotion of Mr. Hack from assistant principal at the primary school for this fiscal year and then next fiscal year he will become the primary school's principal. Um in the principal's contract we we explicitly state hey each principal makes this and such amount for each fiscal year. And so, um, I did work with the board negotiating committee to arrive at the salary amount, which I do feel is a fair market value for this in this position. And so, we just need to make a slight adjustment to the fiscal year 27 line of the principal's contract. Um, it's redlined and then highlighted in red here for your reference. And the principles agreed to as well. Sorry, I should have that. >> I was going to say we had that conversation. So, >> yes, agreed to. So, >> um, any questions on article 6, section one. >> Otherwise, I would entertain a motion to approve. >> I make a motion to approve the change in the principal contract. >> Second. >> Motion and a second. All in favor say I. >> Motion carries. Um on to Byron City Council. >> The pickle ball courts are started and the completion is about mid July. So um not sure if they're shooting for good neighbor days or I don't know just depends on the weather I suppose. Um I wasn't at the last uh the last city council meeting so I got this um information from Al city admin. Um he said that they did a budget report. He said the meeting was fairly, you know, just blah blah whatever. >> Uh the roundabout on 4th Street and 10th Avenue will be well that intersection will be closed starting the day after the last day of school and then open right before school starts. >> Can I just add to that? Um so we are going to be um between the intermediate school drop off parking lot and that staff parking lot. We're going to drop a a barricade of some sort. The exact materials of the barricade are TBD. Um but just to make it so that the intermediate school doesn't turn into a through street for locals. >> Yeah. Okay. >> Yeah. Parking lots don't need any extra wear and tear. >> No. No. Well, I remember when we were when we started talking about I was like, well, maybe it could be a through street and then the city could go ahead and resurface that >> actually. But then when we started looking at I was like there's just too much there's too much happening at the intermediate all summer long and just let's just close it off. >> So any we are we are just deciding what's the right way to to make that a safe way to barricade it so people don't go through. >> Okay. Thank you. >> That's it. >> Perfect. Great. Thank you for that. Uh on to the Zed update. >> Yeah. And so this was from the April 17 or April 15th meeting.
