Call to order the school board meeting for Byron Independent School District 5:31 on 6:15 at 6 p.m. Uh can we start with uh attendance please? >> Yep. Um Lisa >> here. David >> here. >> Carrie >> here. Alicia >> here. Nadia >> here. >> Jeremy >> here. >> Kevin >> here. >> All right. Can we stand for the pledge of allegiance? I pledge algiance 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. >> Vision public schools is a community of learners committed to making the world a better place. Mission is to learn, share, innovate, and inspire. priorities. Personalize learning in pursuit of academic excellence. Inspire students and staff to develop their character, share their talents, and apply their learning and maintain excellence in resource management. Looks like no one is here. Uh so then that would bring us to approval of the Gen agenda. Any questions on the agenda at all? >> Otherwise, I would entertain a motion to approve the agenda. I make a motion to approve the agenda as as presented. >> Second. >> Motion in a second. All in favor say I. >> I. >> Motion carries. All right. On to the superintendent report. Okay. Well, we had our last day of school with kids and um it was a great school year. Um, I mean, just I'm not obviously everywhere all at once, but I think, um, from my perspective, um, in the event you had any doubts, I do think as schoolboard members, you can be really proud of our organization and the people that, um, that report each day to make our school safe and great learning environments um, and the families and the community that supports our school. Um it's uh it's a real just treasure and an honor to be part of organization like this. So kudos to to all for the hard work of a another school year well done. So um I have talked a little bit about parking tickets. We've uh we've had issues with people parking kind of all over the place on our campus and um we we're trying to rein it in a little bit. Um, and so, um, starting this summer, we're going to be issuing parking tickets. These are not criminal things. These are more just, uh, school-based parking tickets. Um, and people will get a number of warnings, um, that and it will show right on the parking ticket that gets left on the vehicle. We'll take a note of those people who end up um, getting the parking ticket. And then um after a few warnings um if it continues to happen with that same vehicle, we'll tow the vehicle and the owner can deal with it at that point. So >> are most of the violations like you know for graduation when there were so many people up there. Is it mostly that kind of stuff or all the >> Not necessarily. Um it's been both at the middle school and the high school. Um but it's primarily like people parking on the lawns every now and then for huge events. It's uh like I was standing at the door at graduation with officer Dirks and people were like we parked on a lot of okay like >> just today it'll be fine. >> Um but yes, we we are going to try and be we we are going to hand out tickets for crazy events like graduation or like a Cass and Manville Stewartville game that we're hosting of any sort. Um, we're just I we're trying to approach it with logic and purpose and um I but I just want to let you know that we do want to try and keep people in the parking lots as much as we can. So, um but we do have signs up in all these places where the most frequent violations are happening that says no parking or don't park beyond this point. So, um, and the last thing I wanted to highlight was, uh, that next year we're going to, one of the goals that all of our, um, school buildings are going to be focused on is implementing a new emergency response protocol. And this is in harmony with, um, Homestead County Sheriff's Department and all the first responders in our area. The idea is that we want to use the same language and the same process so that in the event we have a a situation. Um we're all on the same page. And so um the leadership team and I have spent a considerable amount of time this year going through this protocol, learning it inside, upside down, right side up, all the way around. Um and we've also been participating in additional trainings uh just to really get a sense for how these things interact with each other. Um the the admin team feels really good about this this change of approach and then um we've already started kind of building out what workshop week looks like so that people can get exposed to these um and have the materials and such that they'll need so that we feel reasonably certain that people could manage the different protocols um for the first day of school. So >> all right that's my report. Any questions for Nate? All right. Thank you, Nate. I'm with Sean for the financial update. Okay. So, this is through May 31st. So, 11 out of our 12 months of our year are in the books. Um, revenues are tracking right as they're supposed to be here. Um, so not really a whole lot to touch on in revenues here. >> Yeah. Yeah. Stop there. Um at this point we're at 78% of our um expenditures which is really where we want to be at this point in the year. Um once we hit uh the end of June, we've already done the payrolls for them. So July and August will get coded back into fiscal 26. So that'll be a a decent chunk there of the um salaries and wages. Um, all in this budget's really exactly where we expect to be at this time of year. Um, once everything is said and done, once we bring in those teachers and their uh, benefits, we're looking at probably right around the, um, right around the 90ish% 90 to 95% range. So, um, of our 12 budgets, that's exactly what we want to do. We want to be under budget where we can and that comes into play when we look at when we look forward to next year and where we're starting the year versus [snorts] the other projections. We use 100% of the budget. So So off to a good start here. Um where we're at, it doesn't show any basically everything shows that we're consistent with how schools should operate in Minnesota. So really happy with where they're at. Awesome questions for Sean. Got off easy. >> I'll talk later. >> I know. >> Yeah, I know. >> Uh onto some old unfinished business. Uh action on the primary handbook. Um [clears throat] when we approved all of the handbooks, there was one section from the primary handbooks about gifts for staff and then um we changed that to fall in line with what where all the other handbooks are relating to um giving gifts to employees. So that change has been made and it's reflected in this handbook. >> Any questions on the handbook? I would entertain a motion to I make a motion to approve the primary handbook for 2627. >> Second. >> Motion and a second. All in favor say I. >> Motion carries. All right, Sean. Back to you. >> Okay. So, this will be a little bit different than the revised budget cuz I'm actually here live and in person as opposed to sitting behind a computer screen like it was for that one. Um, full honesty here, I did not recreate the wheel. This is the same slide deck as what I used back in March. I just made it so it was accurate for sure. >> So, um, we're going to go through some of our assumptions, kind of walk through that process that I do. Um, we'll look at the general fund in total and we'll look at the on-site general fund balance. Then we'll touch on food service committee at construction and test service. Uh, every budget starts with enrollment. Okay. Um, when I started looking at this, um, these were the numbers that we had here, which looked like a 107 kindergarteners. That's always the wild card at this time of year, right? Um, and when I was getting close to finalizing, I looked at what our actual registered students were. In kindergarten, we're up to 114 already. So, there's quite a number of quite quite a bit of variance there. Um, in the interest of being conservative, I went with the lower number because I would rather have budgeted for 2236 and have 2260 show up than have budgeted for 2260, have 2236 show up. >> Um, kind of goes back to the whole thing only crisis, right? >> So, uh, the currently enroll numbers represent a 3.3% decrease from what we've got this year. So that's something definitely worth monitoring. Um I wouldn't worry at this point a huge amount about the 2829 projections. Those are just based on that same decrease of 3%. We hope that that's not the case. But we keep a really really close eye on it and make sure that we're monitoring that we're on top of it. Okay. So that's going to drive everything we do going forward. Some other things that we did, um, we've added three teaching positions, a high school special ed teacher, a high school math, and then another egg teacher. Um, we added back five coaching positions. These are all new ones, right? Adding them back. >> I just had added five realizations. >> It depends on how you look at it. They they were always coaches. It was just the youth associations had taken over the cost of those and now we're taking some of those back. So, in a sense they're new, but in another sense they aren't. So, that's why I had to explain it. Sorry. >> That's okay. Uh, we did do some modest increases to our curriculum budget to uh allow for a little bit of growth there and take account of inflation. Um, and then we partially restored some athletic and activity supply budgets. So, we didn't go quite all the way back to the pre-cut days, but we didn't go static as it were. So, this is kind of my process. Obviously, I start with enrollment. Um, MD gives me that nice revenue projection model, which is just a whole bunch of spreadsheets and a giant I think it's almost 3,000 lines now. It's a they give me a nice summary page, so that's nice. Um, then I pull all of the data year to date as well as the last two years, build it into a nice big uh spreadsheet, start entering things in. Um, look at all of our salaries and get those all coded out the way that they're supposed to be. Get those entered in, and then I go through line by line, make sure that everything looks complete first off, and then after I make sure it's complete, then I make sure it's reasonable. Um, and then I review the whole thing. Um, I actually met with Nate last week when all this was done. Um, talk a little bit more about that here in a little bit. Um, about some of the things that we did as far as making sure that everything's correct. Um, went over the presentation with Jeremy last week as the court treasurer and then we went through this just a little bit ago with the budget committee. So, trying to get a bunch of eyes on this as often as we can. So the budget committee all got this all this emailed to them last week. So last weekend so they had the weekend to shoot over. Okay. So we got oops sorry I'm running two different two different things here and I'm clicking next on mine not the one that you guys are looking at. Uh so here's our general fund revenues. Uh got 26 revised to the 27 preliminary. Um couple of things just to draw your attention to. Um the unassigned that's where the um referendum dollars are going to show up. Um but that's not the whole story there. Um in years past our um lease levy for the Z building lived in the NSA fund balance that's moved into the capital. So between moving that there and getting the tech levy dollars in there, that's why that increased 500,000. And then obviously that's going toffect how much of the increase was in the site. Uh the other one that I want to draw a little bit of attention to is this decrease in the LTFM dollars that was from a miscoding that was done a couple years ago. um came through this year because what happened is we levied for a specific project and then the way it was coded back wasn't correct. And then when the reconciliation was done, it was done by somebody that had been in the building for about 2 weeks. So they didn't know all that backstory. Um I reached out to MDs. I was like, "Where did all my LT have anybody know?" Right? We need that >> and they told me what what had happened and we figured it out. And so I've actually got an appeal pending that I'd be here right now to try and get some of that some of that back. We won't see it in 27. Okay. If that's successful, we won't see it until 28, but we're trying. >> It sounds hopeful. >> It does sound hopeful. So >> Okay. >> Yep. >> Here we go. Just >> Sean, do you mind going back to that one more time? >> Sure. >> I just wanted to look at some of the numbers that are in parentheses. So some of the losses like um the one I was just looking at. Where did it go? Oh, the like the learning and development right after the long-term facilities maintenance. >> So, what [snorts] what is that category? >> So, that's that's going to be a state revenue um that's primarily driven by enrollment. So, with enrollment going down, that's when that number goes down. Okay. Is that the same thing with the literacy? >> Yeah. >> Incentivity. Okay. >> This is just just like when we look at the financials, this is the revenues by source. So the local revenues again, that's where the the uh referendum dollars are going to go. You see that the state aid is really flat. that's the factor of enrollment going down plus having the higher or all of our larger classes in the in the upper grade levels um and then the formula allowance increase. So all of those things kind of combined to almost even out. So otherwise they most of these are these other things are pretty standard. Um, I'm expect I don't have an actual hard number from the from the federal government yet for what we're going to expect. It's gone down every year by about $20,000. So, I want to plug that in there. Go to our expenditures here. Um, again, expenditures by our use. So, this is very similar to the to the financials that we look at. um switch over here my screen. So obviously the uh salaries, wages and then the benefits are the the biggest driver, right? So these are the numbers that if everything else is wrong, these are on average. So um what I did was after I had everything loaded in and looked at and everything like okay, does this increase make sense? So, I looked at the increase that we had in our negotiations, our settled increase there. Um, you know, we had three new teachers, so I know what those amounts are. And then, um, the other increases that we have with like our ESPs, our non-licensed staff, our directors, principles, everything like that. Um, and that came out to basically that number. So I think I total it up with my rounding I total to like 630. So really close there. And then benefits the teachers just in their negotiations their their settlement increase was 300,000. The other 90 would be attributed to everybody else. So um like I said, you know, we're trying to get these extra checks on things. So that's what I had already done. And then when we sat down and went through this with Nate, Nate's like, "So what did we what what were our settlements?" So he got to that same place that I did as a way to back check the numbers that are up here. So um then interestingly enough, we see that purchase services decreased. Um, we had 36,000 in referendum services in 26, but 24,000 in mowing that was budgeted. We're not paying anybody. We're not paying a service to mow. We have our own people to do that. Um, and then with the decrease in LTFM revenue, some of those uh purchase services had to decrease, too. Okay. Then supplies and materials, similar story there. Um we had referendum supplies in 26 and then the LTFM supplies too. So that's what made that difference. Um other expenditures, nothing to speak of there. $2,600 in the grand scheme of our budget is nothing. Um capital that one's increasing due to our tech levy. And then the debt service, we had expenses this year for our aid anticipation note and we don't have those in 27. And our other financing that was because we had to transfer money into food service from the ND audit last year that this year. So here's where we're looking at the unassigned fund balance. So again, the better we finish 26, the better the starting number is. So the starting number is based off of the ending projected on the uh revised budget. Um, we're going to grow, we're projecting for 27 to grow the fund balance by about 1.3 million. So that takes our assigned fund balance up to 9.6. So the higher we start 27, the higher that number will go. So if we we end up at say 90% of our budget, that could be 9.7 9.8. um if we used closer to the 100% of the current budget, then it's going to stay more than 2.6. And is there an advantage um since the board set the 8% for the unassigned fund balance or the >> yeah I guess the the balance um is there a benefit to going above that and not paying for certain things or >> so there is because this is basically like our district saving account, >> right? Um, [clears throat] you like we talked about the enrollment is decreasing and all of our bigger classes are all at the top of our our grades. >> As [snorts] those smaller classes start cycling in, that state revenue is going to start going down and we want to try and bank this up as much as we can. >> Okay. >> And get out ahead of that. >> Okay. The other side of it too is as those smaller class sizes come in is looking at how you have to right size like starting in the primary. How do you have to right size the primary so that we don't get to a point where like oh we need to cut you know a million dollars. If we're doing the right sizing along with the enrollment, it still stinks, but it's at least you can point to, well, our enrollment is down 40 kids in this class. We don't have the need for all these things, >> right? Do we generate uh interest rate on the savings account, quote unquote? >> We we actually do generate some some interest on a monthly basis. um not off of quite that. Actually, it's off of more than that. So, we've got our Midslaf fund where we keep most of our money that generates interest on a monthly basis. >> In the past, we've heard that um for a district our size, it would be ideal to shoot for like a double digit unassigned fund balance. Do you What are your thoughts about that? >> It kind of depends, right? Um you see I It's always funny because when I'm up, people are talking about, "Oh, what's your fund balance? What's your fund balance?" Ours was like, "Hey, you run in smaller districts that are like 25, 35, and it's like, [snorts] >> what are you guys doing?" >> Right? You know, they just don't have anything to spend money on. >> Okay. >> So, um, >> most probably >> usually like 7 to 10 is kind of the sweet spot. >> Okay. >> So, >> okay. A lot of it is how riskaverse do you guys as a board want to be, >> right? >> You know, if you want to be [snorts] very conservative you're going to want that number higher. So, that's going to give you a little bit more of a cushion. >> I think it's noteworthy. This is a full year ahead of where we thought we'd be with getting back to our um >> 8% on balance. So, that's great news. So then we just kind of look at like the the assigned funds there. Those are your um various fundraising accounts. So we've done a really good job of getting those under not necessarily under control, but getting those more transparent so that the groups that are running those are seeing those they have access to it at any time they want. People know their balance as long as they're entering their stuff. So otherwise they can wait until Stacy reconciles them at the end of the month and then they don't. So um way fewer questions about those this year. So it's been good. That process that process is one of those Yep. This is definitely a keeper. >> Okay. Good. >> We look at our food service. um has pointed out that we've got inventory here um with the budget committee because we our current uh service contract was a reimbursement basis. So we bought everything um next year we won't have any inventory so we get rid of that. Um everything else here there's not really anything super crazy here in our community. Um school readiness is always a challenge. It's a challenge in every district no matter what you no matter what you do. So, u construction fund. We're going to start the year with a little bit left from the construction project from a couple years ago. Um I didn't actually put them in here, but I don't expect that we're going to have this balance at the end of the year. So, when we get to the revised budget, that'll be the that that will be a lot different. We got plenty of things that we can that we can work on here. >> Okay. >> The debt service app just follows the schedule with what we've got. Here's a quick comparison of our revenues for preliminary revised just so you can kind of see it a little bit differently than what's been shown already. And of course I, you know, I ran the budget through Nate and I ran it through Jeremy. We ran it through the budget committee. I also like to run it through our our computer friends. You know, use use the tools that are available, right? Um, and you can see there that u some of the things that really stood out to me were a significant strengthening of my financial position. um especially during that first year of the voter uh approved operating front. Um you know making that big making that big increase was is huge, right? That's a that's a testament to what the voters did, >> right? Um we heard that they wanted us to be, you know, more financially healthy. They wanted us to be responsible with the dollars. Um that's kind of what we did, right? We didn't just start patting everything back and throwing the kids together. We want to be more prepared for the future. So, I like that it also said that it demonstrates prudent stewardship stewardship of taxpayer resources. So, in improving our long-term fiscal sustainability, >> does this help our rating? I remember we um we were kind of hit with a like >> it has the potential to. >> Okay. >> Yeah, it definitely has the potential to cuz then we're back above the uh the board approved amount. Um I think we'd actually have to get there before it would, >> you know, even just having that projection I don't think is quite enough for the rating services to say, "Yeah, you guys are good now." Like they they want to see us actually do it. >> Sure. which makes that's fair. >> It's fair. Yeah, >> it's a great question. Do we need to reapply for that re-evaluation or something? >> I will look into that. >> The analysis of the primary or preliminary budget just right before that would be a good thing. Is that on the website? >> Not yet. >> Okay. >> Cuz that would be perfect to put that up on the website so people can see what our fund balance is and what our surplus is and declining enrollment that we are facing. Any other questions for Sean? >> Thank you. >> Yeah, thanks Sean. >> I I will admit that this is the budget is always the scariest part of >> what what I do, >> right? >> Because I don't >> right to Asia. I wasn't sure which one. I mean, you just approve it. >> Thanks. Moving on to your >> right. And I also always find it reassuring that the budget committee also agreed that this looked good. Didn't have any concerns. >> More eyes better. >> Right. Okay. >> For sure. >> Make a motion to approve the 2627 preliminary budget as presented. >> Second. >> Motion and a second. All in favor say I. >> I. I. >> Motion carries. The woman budget is approved. >> Congratulations. [laughter] >> Action on the 2728 calendar. >> Okay, so we've been talking about this um a little bit. Uh kudos to Ann for all of the silly drafts I make her do and formatting things. So, she's not angry ever angry at me in person, which is just wonderful. Anyway, um the idea is that um this calendar um assuming that you approve it tonight, we push this put this out on the website. There's a second page where I have a memo to um to anybody who is going to look at the calendar just acknowledging that this calendar is comes with a couple asterisks is and um and that uh we just are waiting for legislative approval to uh for it to be finalized. But I do I do give in there a hint that not much really ends up changing except for like the first day of school moves down a week and the last day of school moves down a week, but basically all the rest of the days end up staying in the same place. So >> I really appreciate that you put that in there so people can still plan either way. Yeah. >> What I have noticed in the post-pandemic world is I don't think families care as much about I mean there are some families that still try and book things around like spring break or winter break or whatever, but >> I also think that people are much more ready to just go when they can. >> Yeah. >> But anyway, >> any questions on the calendar at all? >> When what time of the year do they normally approve that then or do they talk about first day of school? because this is we're talking two years out here, >> correct? Um it's it's all a part of the horse trading that happens at the capital. And so um when they when they did when they provided the the reprieve for these this year and next school year, >> it was part of an 11th hour deal at the last day of the session. Um I don't know who was horse trading what. It's just it just sounds so ridiculous, but it's the way democracy goes. That's pain. >> Mhm. So, [clears throat] it could be a thing that is one of the first things that goes through. Um, I'm just going to guess judging by how weird the election is going to go that probably the legislative session is going to be a little weird too. So, um, so I would not be surprised if if the school calendar thing is not 11th hour deal again. So, at worst it'll be um the end of May, beginning of June that we'll know. Okay. >> So, like a year from now basically. >> Okay. I make a motion to approve the 2728 calendar as presented with the asterisk of pending legislation. >> Second. >> Motion and a second. >> All in favor say I. >> I. >> Motion carries. Um on to the designation of official with authority. >> Okay. So, um, there are all sorts of reports and data things that happen in the background that I never knew about until I became a superintendent. So anyways, um and this is one of these ideas that you you designate officials with authority, um which ends up being me and I'm the one that I can grant access to these data systems and permissions for um various people across the district and also in the co-ops that we coordinate with um to submit reports uh to MDE and and gather data that sort of thing. So >> this is uh this happens over here. [clears throat] >> Yeah. So that's justformational and then the next one's the resolution. >> The resolution to approve that for just an attendee. Sorry. Questions on this? No. >> Motion to approve Nate Baldrook as the uh designate for the right term >> officials. Thank you. [laughter] >> Second >> motion and a second. Uh >> because it's a resolution. Roll call. >> Yep. >> Um Alicia >> I Lisa I >> Jeremy. >> Hi. >> Nadia. >> Hi. >> Kelly. I Carrie >> I >> David >> I >> motion carries red. >> No, I just need you to sign those at the end. >> Okay. Or whenever whenever. >> All right. [clears throat] Action on resolution appointing a responsible authority. Now, my fifth grade elementary teacher would be shocked that I'm considered somebody of a responsible. >> I have to say it feels like you made these up a little bit. I'm very important and >> [laughter] >> I know that you did. We've done it before. >> So again, this is this is part of the yearly run where um you're designating me to act as your, you know, responsible authority in yourstead on many items. It's not all items, but it's on many items. So >> we can take a picture of this and send it to her if you'd like. >> Yeah. Well, what's funny is Rich Schlson, who some of you know anyway, he does volunteer work or has been doing volunteer work for the district. Well, his supervisor in Americaore is my fifth grade elementary. >> A that's cool. >> I bumped into her a couple of times. >> That's so cool. So, you really could give this to her then >> and I will show it to her. >> All right. Any questions on the resolution? Motion to approve Nate Walbrook as the appointed responsible authority for independent school district number 531. >> Second >> motion and a second resolution. Roll call vote. >> Yeah. Alicia >> I. >> Lisa >> I >> Nadia >> I >> David >> I. On to the resolution appointing responsible contract authority. Um, so this is where you're uniting me with the authority to enter into contracts and such. Um, and again acting on behalf of you all as somebody who's able to sign off on things and enter into legal contracts on behalf of the school district. Any questions on the responsible contract authority? I make a motion to approve Nate Walberg as the appointee responsible contract authority. >> Second by [laughter] >> motion and a second resolution roll call vote. Alicia. >> Hi, >> Lisa. >> Hi, >> Jeremy. >> Hi, >> Tanya. >> Hi, >> Kelly. >> Hi, Carrie. >> Hi, David. >> Hi. >> Awesome. You're so on to action on miscellaneous wages 2627. >> Okay, help me remember this one. >> This was one that you brought last month and we were missing the school nurse in that health sub, I believe. >> Yes, that's right. This is just bringing it back with additions for the >> No, it looks like it's just a inflation >> raise for inflation. >> Yeah. >> Any questions on the miscellaneous wages? >> Motion to approve miscellaneous wages presented for 2627 school year. >> Second. >> Motion and a second. All in favor say I. I. Motion carries on to action on additional coaching positions. >> Um so as alluded to over at least one year maybe even well it's probably been well two years um as we have cut some of these positions and efforts to save money. Um our youth associations have taken on some of the cost of a few of these positions. Um and so in working with um and in partnership with these youth organizations um we we as in myself and working with Chad and Sean feel it's prudent that we potentially bring a couple of these back under our umbrella um to provide um those continued services. If you recall, I think it was at the last board meeting we talked about um eliminating the junior high school cutting. And so if we're going to have more kids, especially junior high ones, we're going to need some more coaches for that, too. So that's also uh kind of playing into this as well. So this, like Sean had said, we're trying to just gently add things and see how it goes. Um cannot express enough appreciation for the youth organizations for their willingness and ability to step up and and keep great programs going and great people to mentor and coach. Um they um it's really awesome to have friends like that especially when you're in a tough spot or something. >> Agreed. Yeah. >> So this is not all of the coaches right? >> No. >> How many do we have that we would you know need to plan to bring back? >> Um that's a I have prepared for this Jeopardy quiz show question. That's a good Jeopardy quiz show question. The amount that we should bring back I think is up to some strategic discussion over the next year or two. >> Um but for example in the the football program has eight paid coaches and right now before this resolution we are paying for four of them. >> Okay. Um and then at um the CE boy soccer is the one that is a brand new like we we don't have that and the association isn't paying for it. If you recall the discussion from last year um the soccer association funded kids who were cut onto traveling teams so they could continue to play soccer. Um so that is a new position. Um but uh volleyball um the association was funding two, basketball the funding association was doing two and baseball the association was also doing two. I think there's a total of seven coaches >> more. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> So there are still in all these areas there are still coaching positions that are being funded by the associations. >> Thank you. >> Mhm. Any question?
