EXCELLENT. [OVERLAPPING] WE'LL CALL THIS THE ORDER, 
          [A. Call to Order]

          I APOLOGIZE FOR STARTING A LITTLE LATE OUR EXECUTIVE SESSION WENT A LITTLE LONG. 
          I GUESS IT SAYS 6:05. 
          NEXT THING IS LOOKING AT OUR MISSION STATEMENT. I'LL JUST READ IT. 
          OUR MISSION IS TO ENSURE THAT ALL STUDENTS HAVE THE FOUNDATION FOR SUCCESS AND ARE CHALLENGED TO REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL. 
          I WOULD TAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE

          ALL THOSE FOR APPROVAL SAY AYE. 
          AYE. 
          AGAINST. ALL RIGHT. 
          WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT. 
          [C. Superintendent's Report]
THANK YOU, TRUSTEES. 
          GILLIAM CHAPMAN, SUPERINTENDENT. 
          FIRST, I WANTED TO PROVIDE A BRIEF UPDATE AND CELEBRATION. 
          AS YOU'RE AWARE, LAST FRIDAY DURING THE SOCCER GAME, WE HAD AN INJURY AND I WANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT OFTEN INJURIES HAPPEN, OF COURSE IN SPORTS. 
          HOWEVER, OUR STAFF AND THE SUPPORT THAT WE RECEIVE FROM THE COMMUNITY WAS AMAZING. 
          THE FIRE EMS TEAM, DR. CHRIS HILLS, MARK HIBBARD, OUR ATHLETIC TRAINER, OF COURSE, MIKE HANSEN AND THE JACKSONVILLE HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS MEDICINE TEAM. 
          EVERYONE JUST DID A TREMENDOUS JOB. 
          I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THAT AND WE'RE REALLY HAPPY TO REPORT THE STUDENT IS RECOVERING WELL AT HOME. THAT'S GOOD NEWS. 
          THE OTHER THING I'D LIKE TO CELEBRATE IS DR. SCOTT CHRIS, IS OUR WYOMING PRINCIPAL OF THE YEAR. 
          THAT WAS ANNOUNCED LAST WEEK. 
          [APPLAUSE] HE NOW GOES TO COMPETE AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL AND WHETHER OR NOT HE RUNS THE NATIONAL PRINCIPAL OF THE YEAR IS NO MATTER TO US BECAUSE WE ALREADY KNOW THAT HE IS OUR PRINCIPAL OF THE YEAR, SO WE'RE VERY PROUD OF YOU. 
          THE NEXT THING WE HAVE IS AN ANNOUNCEMENT OF OUR STAFF MEMBER AND OUR TEACHER OF THE YEAR. 
          I'D LIKE TO ASK JULIE NASH TO COME FIRST TO MAKE THE STAFF MEMBER OF THE YEAR ANNOUNCEMENT? [OVERLAPPING] HERE TO ANNOUNCE ESTHER [INAUDIBLE] AS OUR STAFF MEMBER OF THE YEAR. 
          [APPLAUSE] [INAUDIBLE] MEMBERS OF THE BOARD JULIE NASH THE NATIONAL EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF STUDENT SERVICES AND WITH ME IS CATHY BARREL, AND WE'RE HERE TO HONOR ESTHER AS STAFF MEMBER OF THE YEAR. 
          IN ADDITION TO THE ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITY ESTHER HAS AS A SCHOOL NURSE, WHICH SCOTT WILL SPEAK TO IN A MOMENT. 
          ESTHER WHO ALSO SERVES AS OUR LEAD NURSE FOR OUR K12 HEALTH SERVICES TEAM, THIS WAS A NEW DECISION THIS YEAR. 
          ESTHER, I REMEMBER THAT LAST AUGUST WHEN WE MET TO DISCUSS THIS ROLE. 
          [LAUGHTER] I WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT ALL THE POSSIBLE THINGS THAT WE COULD DO WITH THE HEALTH SERVICES TEAM. 
          WE WERE EXCITED ABOUT BUILDING UP A NURSE MANUAL, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, GROWTH OF THIS TEAM. WE TALKED ABOUT COVID. 
          [LAUGHTER] AT THAT TIME WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WE WERE ABOUT TO FACE AND HOW ALL ENCOMPASSING THE JOB IS GOING TO BE. 
          AT THE START OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, YOU HIT THE GROUND RUNNING COME OCTOBER THROUGH DECEMBER. 
          YOU WERE EASILY AVERAGING 60 TO 80 HOURS A WEEK. 
          YOU WERE WORKING LATE INTO THE EVENING. 
          YOU WERE GIVING UP EVERY WEEKEND, NEED TO WORK 10 HOURS A DAY AWAY FROM YOUR FAMILY. 
          ALWAYS WITH A CAN-DO, NEVER COMPLAINING, POSITIVE ATTITUDE. 
          DURING THIS TIME, YOU WERE NOT ONLY MANAGING THE DAY-TO-DAY DUTIES OF BEING A SCHOOL NURSE AT FOUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. 
          YOU WERE DEVELOPING OUR DISTRICT'S COVID POLICIES, PROCEDURES, GUIDING DOCUMENTS, AND COMMUNICATIONS WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY CONTACT TRACING SOLELY FOR THE ENTIRE DISTRICT AND DEVELOPING OUR STAFF AND STUDENTS SURVEILLANCE PROGRAM. 
          [LAUGHTER] YOU MANAGED ALL OF THIS WITH PROFESSIONALISM, GRACE, AND STYLE. 
          WHEN FACED WITH CHALLENGES FROM STUDENTS, STAFF, PARENTS, PRINCIPALS, AND EVEN ME, YOU DID SO WITH KINDNESS AND COMPASSION. 
          IN THE MOST CHALLENGING TIMES YOU WOULD LOOK TO ME, SMILE AND SAY, IT'S OKAY, WE GOT THIS. 
          [00:05:02]
[LAUGHTER] I NEVER ONCE DOUBTED YOU. 
          AS A RESULT OF THE LONG DAYS AND WEEKS YOU PUT IN THIS YEAR, YOUR LEADERSHIP, THE HEALTH SERVICES TEAM, REALLY BLEND IN TOGETHER. 
          THIS IS AN AMAZING TEAM. 
          I'M PROUD OF THIS TEAM AND YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF THIS TEAM. 
          THROUGH EVERYTHING THEY FACED, THE DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS IN EACH BUILDING IS RUN SMOOTHLY. 
          WE NOW HAVE AN EFFICIENT AND VERY EFFECTIVE DISTRICT WHITES SYSTEM FOR SURVEILLANCE AND CONTACT TRACING ALL TCS STAFF AND STUDENTS. 
          STILL, YOU CONTINUED TO WORK TIRELESSLY TO IMPROVE UPON IT. 
          COMING THROUGH, JUST WHEN YOU IN THIS TEAM THOUGHT YOU HAD IT ALL FIGURED OUT, WE SAID, HEY ESTHER, HOW ABOUT WE CONDUCT WEEKLY SURVEILLANCE TESTING OR 20 PERCENT OF OUR ENTIRE STUDENT BODY OVER THEM. 
          [LAUGHTER] YOU LOOKED TO YOUR TEAM, YOU SMILED AND HE SAID, IT'S OKAY, WE GOT THIS. 
          THIS WAS A HUGE UNDERTAKING AND THROUGH YOUR CONSISTENT COMMUNICATION AND RESPONSIVENESS TO OUR TEAM'S NEEDS, YOU RAISED [INAUDIBLE] THANK YOU, ESTHER, FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU HAVE DONE. 
          IT HAS BEEN AN HONOR AND PRIVILEGE TO WORK ALONGSIDE YOUR TEAM, YOU ARE AMAZING [APPLAUSE] [OVERLAPPING] [LAUGHTER] YOU DON'T HAVE TO STAND UP AGAIN. 
          [LAUGHTER] I WISH I COULD BE AS ELOQUENT AS [INAUDIBLE] IT'LL BE A LITTLE BIT MORE JUST AT SHIFTS. 
          CHAIRMEN, [INAUDIBLE] AND TRUSTEES AND DR. CHAPMAN, THANKS FOR HAVING ME. 
          I'M MOSTLY GLAD TO BE HERE JUST BECAUSE I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN LIKE NINE MONTHS [LAUGHTER] LAST TIME I SAW YOU, I LOCKED KEITH OUT OF THE ZOOM [LAUGHTER], [OVERLAPPING] BUT SO HAPPY TO BE HERE TO HONOR NURSE ESTHER, OR AS SHE'S KNOWN TO MANY AT OUR SCHOOL IS SUPER ESTHER OR E SQUARED I CALL HER, SHE'S MY PFIZER FRIEND, MY COVID CONFIDANT [LAUGHTER]. 
          SHE'S THE QUARANTINE QUEEN [LAUGHTER]. 
          SHE'S ALSO MY FELLOW JACKSON HOLE ALONE GO BRONX. 
          I THOUGHT ABOUT JUST SAYING GLOBAL PANDEMIC AND THAT WOULD FOLLOW ANYTHING THAT JULIE SAID AND BE GOOD. 
          BUT I WOULD LIKE TO EMBARRASS ESTHER FOR TWO MORE MINUTES, SO I COULDN'T BE MORE PROUD TO WORK AT WILSON. 
          WE JUST HAVE GOOD PEOPLE. 
          WE JUST HAD SOMEONE COME OUT FROM CALIFORNIA TO VISIT, DO A SITE VISIT. 
          THAT WAS ONE OF OUR THINGS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT, WE HAVE REALLY GOOD PEOPLE AND ESTHER IS THE SPIRIT OF THE PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE WORKING AT WILSON SCHOOL. 
          SHE'S A NURSE AND A MOM OF TWO WILSON STUDENTS. 
          WE COULDN'T BE MORE PROUD TO HAVE HER REPRESENTING ALL OF TCSD. 
          ESTHER IS KIND AND CARING. 
          SHE HAS A SOUNDING BOARD FOR PARENTS, TEACHERS, AND KIDS. 
          SHE'S LOVED BY STUDENTS. 
          SHE'S A HOT CHOCOLATE SEWER WHO IS CREATIVE, DEPENDABLE, AND HARDWORKING. 
          SHE IS QUIETLY BRILLIANT. 
          I HAVE WATCHED HER OVER AND OVER MAKE DECISIONS THAT ARE IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF STUDENTS AND STAFF. 
          SOMETIMES THIS YEAR IT'S BEEN ON WEEKENDS OR EVENINGS LIKE MAYBE IN AN IDLE FALLS TRYING TO GET MY CAR WORK DONE, THEN HAVING TO SPEND HOURS WITH CHARLOTTE AND ESTHER TO TRY AND GO THROUGH CONTACT TRACING, SCHOOL MESSENGER, MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS, WHAT'S BEST FOR KIDS ON A SATURDAY NIGHT. 
          THAT WAS ONE MOMENT IN TIME FOR ME OVER THE YEAR. 
          THAT WAS A WEEKEND OF MAYBE A HANDFUL, BUT THAT WAS EVERY WEEKEND FOR ESTHER AND EVENING FOR WHAT SEEMED LIKE AN ETERNITY [LAUGHTER]. 
          THIS YEAR SHE GAVE EVERYTHING TO TCSD WITH A SMILE, A MASK, AND A POSITIVE ATTITUDE, AND I'VE WATCHED HER HAVE DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS, AND EVERY TIME TAKE THE HIGH ROAD. 
          THERE HAS BEEN TIMES I'VE LEFT WILSON FEELING VERY GUILTY THAT SHE WAS STILL ON THE PHONE WAITING FOR THE COUNTY, THE STATE, SOME SHIPPING FROM AMAZON WITH VOL TESTING. I DON'T KNOW. 
          I WOULD TRY TO CONVINCE HER TO LEAVE, BUT SHE HAD TO WAIT FOR THAT PHONE CALL. 
          SHE'S ASSISTED WITH THINGS LIKE JULIE SAID FROM THAT SCHOOL NURSE STANDPOINT OF THE USUAL TYPICAL PIECE, 504 PLANS, HEALTH CARE PLANS, KINDERGARTEN INFO, NIGHTS, SCRAPES, HEAD BUMPS. 
          I WENT BACK THROUGH OUR EMAILS BECAUSE ESTHER SEES AND RECEIVES A LOT OF THOSE, VERY COMMON THINGS FOR A WHILE, I MEAN NURSE, WE'VE HAD THESE THINGS HAD BUMPED, EATING YELLOW FLOWERS AT RECESS. 
          RESPOND. MORE HEAD BUMPS KICKED BY A MOOSE, ALLERGIES, CPR TRAINING, PUBERTY TALKS, NOSE BUMP, LIP BUMP LIKE IT GOES ON. 
          BUT THIS YEAR WAS LIKE NO OTHER. 
          THAT LEAD NURSE ROLE TURNED HER INTO A COVID NINJA. 
          SHE BECAME INCREDIBLE AT SHIPPING VOLT TESTS AND DOING WITH THE STATE, THE COUNTY, AND PEOPLE. 
          I'VE NO IDEA WHO I WAS ON THE PHONE. 
          SHE WOULD BE DOING BAND-AIDS AND TOSSING OUT ICE PACKS WHILE TALKING TO THE COUNTY OR WHOEVER IT WAS. 
          MOST OF OUR EMAILS AND CONVERSATIONS THAT I LOOKED AT WERE PLEXIGLASS AND HAND SANITIZER, TEST RESULTS, SYMPTOMS, UPDATED GUIDANCE, URGENT MESSAGE. 
          COVID. COVID [LAUGHTER]. 
          THAT WAS THE MAJORITY OF THE EMAILS. 
          WE'VE HAD LAUGHS, WE'VE HAD TEARS, WE'VE SHAKEN OUR HEADS A LOT. 
          IN CONCLUSION, ESTHER IS ONE OF THE MOST KIND HARD-WORKING, INTELLIGENT PEOPLE, 
          [00:10:04]
I'VE BEEN ABLE TO WORK WITH FOR 23 YEARS IN EDUCATION. 
          I FEEL VERY FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO SAY, THAT I'VE NURSED ESTHER AT WILSON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. 
          I WOULD DARE TO SAY THAT THERE'S NO OTHER EMPLOYEE IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MAYBE DR. 
          CHAPMAN THIS YEAR THAT HAS HAD MORE CONVERSATIONS WITH STAKEHOLDERS IN THIS COMMUNITY. 
          I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE'S DONE IT. 
          SHE'S GIVEN AT ALL. I FEEL THAT SHE'S BEEN EVERYWHERE AT EVERY SCHOOL AND FOR THAT REASON, SHE'S THE BEST PIC TO REPRESENT WHAT IS BEST ABOUT ALL TCSD EMPLOYEES. 
          THANK YOU, ESTHER. 
          [APPLAUSE] 
          >> THANK YOU. CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE. [LAUGHTER] 
          >> THANK YOU, [INAUDIBLE]. [LAUGHTER] [OVERLAPPING] 
          >> MR. CHAIR OF TRUSTEES, [INAUDIBLE] HERE, PRINCIPAL, JACKSON MIDDLE SCHOOL. 
          I AM HONORED TO PRESENT THE TCSD, TEACHER OF THE YEAR, TO OUR EIGHTH GRADE PHYSICAL SCIENCE TEACHER, AMY MANHART. 
          [APPLAUSE] I AM VERY HONORED TO HAVE AMY ON MY STAFF. 
          WE ARE VERY HONORED TO HAVE AMY ON OUR STAFF. 
          THERE'S THREE THINGS THAT I REALLY WANT TO HIGHLIGHT ABOUT MISS MANHART. 
          NUMBER 1 IS HER INSTRUCTION, HER INSTRUCTION IS TOP-NOTCH. 
          SHE WAS JUST TALKING TO TRACY ABOUT THEIR EGG DROP EXPERIMENT THAT TRACY'S DAUGHTER AND MY SON BOTH DID, BECAUSE IT'S ENGAGING. 
          SHE KEEPS IT FRESH YEAR IN AND YEAR OUT. 
          SHE HAS MANY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, BUT IS NEVER AFRAID OF CHANGE, AND SHE EMBRACES THAT AND INCORPORATES THAT INTO ALL THE THINGS SHE DOES. 
          SECOND THING, IS SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING. 
          THAT IS A BUZZWORD, MAYBE AMONGST EDUCATION THESE DAYS, BUT AMY LIVES AND BREATHES SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING. 
          NOT ONLY FOR HER STUDENTS, BUT IN HER OUR OWN PRACTICE AND WHO SHE IS AS A PERSON. 
          SHE EMBRACES ALL WITH KINDNESS AND SHE TREATS EVERYONE WITH RESPECT, AND SHE DEMANDS THAT OF HER STUDENTS. 
          YOU CAN SEE THAT INCORPORATED INTO HER INSTRUCTION, WHICH MAKES IT JUST A MORE WELL-ROUNDED CLASS. 
          THEN THE THIRD THING I'D LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT IS AMY'S TEACHER LEADERSHIP. 
          SHE KEEPS ME ON MY TOES [LAUGHTER] AND SHE MAY NOT ALWAYS AGREE WITH WHAT WE MAY DECIDE BUT SHE'S GOING TO MOVE FORWARD REPRESENTING JACKSON HOLE MIDDLE SCHOOL. 
          IN THAT TEACHER LEADERSHIP, SHE IS NOT AFRAID TO TAKE ON LEADERSHIP ROLES LIKE HER PBIS DUTY, HER MINDFULNESS AMONGST ALL OF THE TCSD REALLY, AND SHE'S BEEN DOING THAT BECAUSE IT'S JUST A PASSION OF WHO SHE IS. 
          THOSE THINGS ARE REALLY MAKING AMY DESERVING OF THIS AWARD. 
          I'VE BEEN LUCKY TO CALL AMY, A COLLEAGUE, TEACHER ON MY STAFF, A NEIGHBOR, AND TRULY A FRIEND. 
          SO, AMY MANHART. 
          [APPLAUSE] 
          >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. [LAUGHTER] I FEEL INCREDIBLY HUMBLED TO BE NOMINATED BY MY COLLEAGUES AT JACKSON HOLE MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND INCREDIBLY HONORED TO REPRESENT TETON COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT. 
          WHEN I WAS A STUDENT, MY 11TH GRADE ENGLISH TEACHER HAD AN EMILY DICKINSON POEM ON HIS WALL. 
          THE POEM WAS THIS; IF I CAN STOP ONE HEART FROM BREAKING, I SHALL NOT LIVE IN VAIN. 
          IF I CAN EASE ONE LIFE THE ACHING, OR COOL ONE PAIN, OR HELP ONE FAINTING ROBIN UNTO HIS NEST AGAIN, I SHALL NOT LIVE IN VAIN. 
          I DIDN'T KNOW AT THE TIME THAT I WOULD FULFILL THIS MANTRA AS A TEACHER, BUT I KNEW THE TRUTH OF THE WORDS LIVE DEEP IN MY HEART. 
          MY ENGLISH TEACHER SURELY DID NOT KNOW THE INNOCENT POSTER KEY HANG ON HIS WALL, WOULD SHAPE MY LIFE. 
          THE STRENGTH OF THE SCHOOLS IS IN ITS TEACHERS. 
          THE SUCCESS OF A CHILD IS THE TEACHER'S CAPACITY TO ENHANCE THEIR OPPORTUNITIES AND SUPPORT THEM THROUGH CHALLENGES. 
          TEACHERS JOIN THIS PROFESSION TO TOUCH THE FUTURE, AND TO EASE ONE LIFE THE ACHING. 
          AS TEACHERS, WE OFTEN DO NOT KNOW HOW WE SHAPE THE LIVES OF OUR STUDENTS OR WHAT SEEDS WE PLANT. 
          SOME MAYBE BLOOM YEARS AND YEARS LATER, WE CAN ONLY DO OUR BEST EVERY DAY. 
          TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR THIS HEART AND NOBLE WORK REALLY TOUCHES MY HEART. 
          THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THIS RECOGNITION. 
          I WOULD LIKE TO LEAVE WITH THE WORDS OF CHRISTA MCAULIFFE, THE HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE TEACHER WHO PERISHED IN THE SPACE SHUTTLE CHALLENGER IN 1985, WHEN I WAS A STUDENT IN SCHOOL. 
          I TOUCHED THE FUTURE I TEACH, 
          [00:15:02]
AND I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE MORE IMPORTANT TO BE DOING WITH MY LIFE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          [APPLAUSE] 
          >> MOVING ON TO THE DISTRICT LEADERS REPORT, WHICH IS JUST GOING TO PALE IN COMPARISON TO BOTH THE HONORING THESE TWO DEDICATED STAFF MEMBERS. 
          ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE DISTRICT LEADERS REPORT THAT ANY OF US COULD ANSWER FOR YOU? 
          >> YOU, TAKE TO THE ONLY QUESTIONS. 
          >> THANK YOU MR. CHAIR, I DO NOT. 
          >> THANK YOU. 
          >> WELL MOVE ON TO COVID. 
          >> THANK YOU. WHAT WOULD A BOARD MEETING BE WITH THAT OF COVID UPDATE? 
          >> I'LL GIVE AN ANSWER TO THAT. 
          [LAUGHTER] [OVERLAPPING] 
          >> WE ARE CONTINUING TO CONDUCT SURVEILLANCE TESTING AND ABOUT 20 PERCENT OF THE STUDENT BODY EACH WEEK. 
          THE STUDENTS WERE GETTING SOMEWHERE BACK BETWEEN FIVE AND 10 PERCENT. 
          SOME BUILDINGS ARE SITTING BACK 55 PERCENT OF THOSE SENT. 
          WE'RE GETTING THERE, BUT WE ARE STILL DOING THAT. 
          WE ARE ALSO POSTING VACCINATION CLINICS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL FOR THE FIRST VACCINE ON MAY 17 AND THE SECOND ONE ON JUNE SEVEN. 
          THEN AT MIDDLE SCHOOL ON MAY 18TH, REMEMBER THE FIRST VACCINE AND JUNE EIGHT FOR THE SECOND. 
          THE REASON WE'RE HOSTING THESE STUDENT VACCINATION CLINICS AS OF TODAY, 12-YEAR-OLDS AND ABOVE HAVE BEEN APPROVED WITH THE PFIZER VACCINE. 
          PARENTS WILL BE ABLE TO REGISTER THEIR STUDENT USING THE TETON COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT WEBSITE, SIGN A CONSENT FORM, AND THEN WE'LL TELL THE STUDENTS ADD A CLASS. 
          THEY'LL MISS APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES OF CLASS. 
          PARENTS CAN COME WITH THEIR CHILD AND THEY WOULD LIKE, PARENTS CAN ALSO RECEIVE THE VACCINE AT SCHOOL, AND OUR INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS WILL ALSO BE INVITED. 
          THE CLINIC HOURS WILL BE 10:30 TO 1:45, AND THEN 2:45 TO 5:45. 
          WE WILL ALSO SEND OUT MORE SPECIFIC INFORMATION IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT'S MONDAY AND TUESDAY. 
          WE'LL ALSO BE ASSISTING WITH THE LOCAL VACCINE USE IT USING A SCHOOL BUS. 
          WE'RE PARTNERING WITH THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO MAKE THESE OPPORTUNITIES FOR VACCINE AVAILABLE. 
          WE'RE ALSO EXCITED TO BE IN THE GREEN IN TETON COUNTY AS OF TODAY. 
          THAT'S ALSO SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE AS A COMMUNITY. 
          ANSWERS ANY OF YOUR QUESTIONS, THAT CONCLUDES MY UPDATE ON COVID. 
          >> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. HELLEN, HOW ARE YOU DOING IT AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AT THE TIME YOU ARE, I MEAN, WHERE ARE YOU DOING? 
          >> [OVERLAPPING] THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT IS WORKING WITH THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND THE HIGH SCHOOL, ACTUALLY TO WORK TODAY. 
          WE'RE LOOKING AT THE GYM, MAYBE A SMALL GYM, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          BUT THEY'RE WORKING ON THOSE [OVERLAPPING]. 
          >> I'M JUST THINKING HOW CROWDED THE CAFETERIA IS AT LUNCH TODAY. 
          >> YEAH, WE'LL BE USING ONE OF THOSE FOR PATIENTS. 
          >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS REGARDING COVID. KATE, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION? 
          >> MR. CHAIR. 
          >> GO AHEAD. 
          >> I JUST WANT TO CONGRATULATE YOU AND NURSE ESTHER, OF COURSE, FOR HER LEADERSHIP AND MAKING SURE THAT, JULIE NASH TOO, THE LEADERSHIP AND SURVEILLANCE TESTING. 
          HAVING STUDENT VACCINATIONS AT SCHOOL, I THINK IS SO IMPORTANT, THE MORE AVAILABLE THE VACCINE EVEN BETTER. 
          I'VE HEARD ACROSS THE NATION THAT THERE IS A SENSE THAT A LOT OF PARENTS ARE RELUCTANT. 
          BUT IF THEIR SCHOOLS ENDORSE HAVING VACCINATIONS FOR THEIR CHILDREN, IT MEANS A LOT TO THEM. 
          IF WE REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE, ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT WE'RE ABLE TO STAY IN SCHOOL EVERY SINGLE WEEK, IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE URGE PARENTS AND KIDS TO GET VACCINATIONS. 
          I CAN'T THINK OF A BETTER WAY TO HAVE THEM IN THE SCHOOL, SO CONGRATULATIONS, SUPERINTENDENT CHAPMAN AND ALL THOSE WHO HAVE MADE THIS HAPPEN. 
          >> THANK YOU. 
          >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON COVID? ALL RIGHT. 
          [D. Reports and Items for Discussion]
          >> IT'S 20 SECONDS ON MTSS. [LAUGHTER] 
          >> I DON'T KNOW, I LOOKED AT THAT PRESENTATION. 
          >> I'M TALKING TO [INAUDIBLE] MR. CAREY, TRUSTEES, YEAH, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT MTSS. 
          WHAT DOES THAT STAND FOR? 
          [00:20:01]
MULTI-TIERED SYSTEMS OF SUPPORT IS THAT ACRONYM. 
          I WANTED TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT LIKE WHAT IS THIS BIG CONSTRUCT OR TOPIC OR FRAMEWORK AND THEN WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE IN OUR SCHOOLS? USING THIS VISUAL, THIS VISUAL'S FROM AMERICAN INSTITUTE FOR RESEARCH. 
          THEY STARTED THIS AS FAR AS THEIR FRAMEWORK FOR MTSS, WDE, THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT VISUALS YOU HAVE. 
          WDE ADOPTED THIS AS WELL ABOUT SIX OR SEVEN YEARS BACK. 
          SO WE'RE THINKING HERE'S OUR FOUR BIG COMPONENTS OF WHAT AN MTSS FRAMEWORK IS. 
          I'LL STATE THAT UP-FRONT, ALL IN SERVICE OF IMPROVING STUDENT OUTCOMES. 
          ONE MULTI-LEVEL, THE BOTTOM ONE THERE, MULTILEVEL PREVENTION SYSTEM. 
          WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? ALL STUDENTS GET CORE INSTRUCTION. 
          ALL STUDENTS HAVE THAT CARE 1 INSTRUCTION. 
          FOR STUDENTS WHO AREN'T MEETING GRADE LEVEL EXPECTATIONS OR ACHIEVING GRADE LEVEL STANDARDS, WE NEED TO INTENSIFY AND DIFFERENTIATE FOR THOSE STUDENTS. 
          WE INTENSIFY, WE DIFFERENTIATE, ARE STUDENTS NOW MEETING GRADE LEVEL STANDARDS, EXPECTATIONS? IF NOT, WE'VE GOT TO FURTHER INTENSIFY, FURTHER INDIVIDUALIZE INSTRUCTION. 
          THAT'S THE CONCEPT OF A TIERED SUPPORT OR MULTI-LEVEL, JUST CONTINUOUSLY GETTING MORE INDIVIDUALIZED. 
          MTSS FRAMEWORKS HAVE SCREENING PROCESSES SO MEASURES LIKE WHY TOP, WHICH IS A BENCHMARK ASSESSMENTS, SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT CAN STILL BE USED AS A SCREENER. 
          WE SCREEN IN LITERACY, MATH, SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING BEHAVIOR. 
          THESE ARE JUST BROAD MEASURES THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO CATCH STUDENTS WHO MAY BE STRUGGLING IN DIFFERENT AREAS. 
          WHEN WE SEE STUDENTS WHO ARE STRUGGLING OR NOT MEETING GRADE LEVEL EXPECTATIONS, THEY'LL COME IN TO THE MTSS PROCESS. 
          WHEN STUDENTS ARE GETTING THAT DIFFERENTIATION, THAT INDIVIDUALIZATION, WE MONITOR THEIR PROGRESS. 
          WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE RESPONDING TO WHATEVER INTERVENTIONS ARE ACTUALLY IN PLACE SO TEAMS ARE LOOKING AT THEIR DATA CONSISTENTLY. 
          AS YOU PROBABLY COULD INFER FROM THOSE THREE POINTS, DATA DECISION-MAKING IS AT THE HEART OF ALL OF THIS. 
          THERE'S VERY SPECIFIC CRITERIA ON IF THESE ARE THE SCREENER SCORES, HERE'S THE TYPE OF INTERVENTION THAT A STUDENT MAY GET. 
          VERY SPECIFIC DATA ON WHEN A STUDENT SHOULD EXIT AN INTERVENTION OR WHEN MAYBE WE SHOULD CHANGE THINGS UP. 
          DATA-BASED DECISION-MAKING IS AT THE HEART OF THAT. 
          IF YOU GO BACK JUST A COUPLE, THE VERY BOTTOM, YEAH. 
          THAT'S THE BIG CONCEPT OF MTSS IN A VERY QUICK NUTSHELL, WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE IN SOME OF OUR SCHOOLS? ALMOST STARTING FROM THE BEGINNING OF A SCHOOL YEAR, SO WE'VE GOT THE SCREENING PROCESS. 
          LET'S SAY WE DO OUR FALL SCREENERS, NUMBER OF DIFFERENT LITERACY, MATH, BEHAVIORAL ASSESSMENTS WE'RE LOOKING AT. 
          THEN AGAIN, THE STUDENTS WHO ESSENTIALLY ARE NOT ON TRACK OR MAY NOT BE MEETING GRADE LEVEL EXPECTATIONS COME INTO THE MTSS PROCESS. 
          THERE'S AN MTSS TEAM, COLLABORATION WITH CLASSROOM TEACHERS, AND THEN STUDENTS ARE ASSIGNED TO WHATEVER THOSE INTERVENTIONS OR SUPPORTS ARE. 
          THEN OUR MTSS TEAMS MEET ON A WEEKLY BASIS AND THOSE TEAMS USUALLY ARE COMPRISED OF PRINCIPALS, SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGISTS, INTERVENTIONISTS, USUALLY SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS, EL TEACHERS AS WELL. 
          THOSE TEAMS MEET ON A WEEKLY BASIS AND THEY DO ONE OF TWO THINGS. 
          WEEK ONE IN A CYCLE IS THE REVIEWING STUDENT DATA. 
          IF THOSE STUDENTS ARE IN AN INTERVENTION, THEY'RE LOOKING JOHNNY MAKING PROGRESS? YES. RYAN MAKING PROGRESS? YES. AJ MAKING PROGRESS? NO. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? THEN THAT STUDENT THE FOLLOWING WEEK IS DISCUSSED AT A PROBLEM-SOLVING MEETING. 
          PROBLEM-SOLVING WE BRING THE CLASSROOM TEACHERS IN, A LARGER TEAM TO SAY WHY IS THE STUDENT NOT MAKING PROGRESS? WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO DIFFERENTLY? SHOULD WE BE FOCUSING ON DIFFERENT SKILLS, CHANGE THE INTERVENTION, INTENSIFY IT. 
          THAT CYCLE REALLY JUST KEEPS REPEATING ITSELF EVERY TWO WEEKS, PROGRESS MONITORING AND PROBLEM-SOLVING MEETINGS. 
          THEN FINALLY, IF THAT HAPPENED IN THE FALL, EVENTUALLY YOU HAVE YOUR WINTER BENCHMARKS. 
          AT THAT POINT, THE TEAM'S LOOKING AT DATA AGAIN TO SEE MAYBE THERE'S SOME ADDITIONAL STUDENTS THAT WE WANT TO BRING INTO THAT MTSS PROCESS AND WHICH STUDENTS ARE READY TO EXIT OUT AND NOT RECEIVE THAT ADDITIONAL SUPPORT. 
          I COULD TALK FOR HOURS AND HOURS ON THIS ONE, BUT THAT'S A FRAMEWORK. 
          [OVERLAPPING] 
          >> ANY QUESTIONS? 
          >> ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON MTSS? THANK YOU AJ FOR EXPLAINING THAT TO US, VERY HELPFUL. 
          >> YEAH. 
          >> I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. 
          >> OKAY. STUDENT SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER REPORT. 
          >> FOR [INAUDIBLE] DAY, FIRST THING WE WANTED TO START OUT WITH WAS JUST AN UPDATE ON HOW THE EARTH DAY EVENT WENT. 
          WE WERE VERY HAPPY WITH HOW THAT WENT AT THE HIGH SCHOOL, WE HAD A LOT OF PARTICIPATION WE FELT FROM STUDENTS AND FROM TEACHERS, IT WAS REALLY COOL. 
          WE JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU EVERYONE THAT PARTICIPATED FOR GIVING THEIR FREE TIME TO COME HELP US CLEAN UP A LITTLE BIT. 
          WE WERE HOPING IT CONTINUES ANNUALLY AS IT'S JUST A NICE LITTLE EVENT WITH A COOL EARTH DAY MESSAGE AND 
          [00:25:02]
WE'RE ALSO CREATING THE SCHOOL GROUND BY MAKING EVERYTHING LOOK NICER. 
          THEN FOR THE NEXT SLIDE THAT WE HAVE, WE JUST WANTED TO GO OVER SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PROJECT OVER THE SCHOOL YEAR AS THIS IS MOST LIKELY. 
          [LAUGHTER] ONE THING THAT WE REALLY LIKED WAS BEING ABLE TO TOUR EACH SCHOOL. 
          I THINK THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN MY FAVORITE, JUST REVISITING SCHOOLS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN TO IN A LONG TIME, GETTING TO KNOW SOME OF THE NEW STAFF THAT'S IN THESE SCHOOLS. 
          ALSO GOING TO DIFFERENT SCHOOLS THAT I HAD NEVER BEEN TO LIKE [INAUDIBLE] [NOISE] ANOTHER COOL THING WAS JUST INTERACTING WITH OTHER LEADERS IN THE COMMUNITY LIKE THE RECYCLING CENTER OR WITH ENERGY CONSERVATION WHERE IT'S JUST LIKE THAT. 
          NOT LIMITING OURSELVES TO JUST BEING INSIDE OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. 
          THE LAST THING THAT WE HAD HERE WAS JUST PARENTS CYCLE, AS WE MENTIONED IN THE LAST ONE, WE ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT ELEMENT HOPE THERE'S A LOT OF PARTICIPATION. 
          AT THE HIGH SCHOOL, WE HAVE FLIERS AND EVERYTHING SET UP. 
          TEACHERS ARE AWARE, THANKS TO ROWANS FOR HELPING IN. 
          THANK YOU TO HIM AGAIN. HE'S VERY AWESOME AND YEAH, SO WE HOPEFULLY GET SOME RECYCLING ON THOSE TWO. 
          >> JUST A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF OUR TIME ON THE BOARD OR MAKE THIS HAS BEEN SUCH AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE FOR US AND WE JUST WANT TO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GIVING US THIS OPPORTUNITY. 
          OUR TIME HAS ALLOWED US TO GET INVOLVED WITH THE COMMUNITY WHERE WE MIGHT OTHERWISE NOT HAVE HAD THE INTERACTION. 
          WE'VE ALSO HAD THE PLEASURE OF INTERACTING WITH OTHER SCHOOLS, IN HIGH SCHOOL, YOU'RE GET NARROW-MINDED, BUT THIS POSITION HAS REALLY OPENED THIS UP. 
          I KNOW THERE ARE OTHER SCHOOLS HERE. 
          THERE'S SO MANY AMAZING PRINCIPALS AND TEACHERS AND STUDENTS. 
          IT'S FANTASTIC AND WE'RE SO THANKFUL TO HAVE INTERACTED WITH ALL OF THEM. 
          ALSO BEING ABLE TO TAKE THIS PROJECT ON THAT IS SO PASSIONATE. 
          I'M SO PASSIONATE ABOUT, I KNOW JOSH IS NOW TOO [LAUGHTER] IN HOLDING A LAWYER. 
          JUST BEING ABLE TO SAY THAT EVERY SCHOOL IN TETON COUNTY HAS THE MEANS OF RECYCLING. 
          WE'VE KIND OF OPEN THIS DOOR TO ALL THESE NEW OPPORTUNITIES SUCH AS PERICYCLE, WHICH IS OPEN TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO JOIN REALLY. 
          IT'S JUST BEEN SUCH AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE FOR US. 
          ALSO BEING ABLE TO SIT RIGHT HERE AND JUST SEE HOW EVERYTHING PLAYS OUT HAS BEEN SUCH A REALLY GREAT TIME FOR ME BECAUSE I ALWAYS LOVED TO FIGURE OUT HOW THINGS WORK AND BEING INVOLVED IN HEARING EVERY SIDE OF THE STORY, IT'S REALLY FUN FOR ME TO COME LISTEN IN ONCE A MONTH. 
          REALLY JUST WORKING ON [LAUGHTER] PUBLIC SPEAKING AND TALKING AND GETTING OUR POINT ACROSS TO PEOPLE LIKE YOU. 
          THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          JUST THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE FOR US. 
          WE'RE SO THANKFUL FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY AND THAT WE CAN BE A PART OF THIS AMAZING BOARD. 
          >> THANK YOU. 
          [APPLAUSE] 
          >> WE TOO WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THE TIME YOU SPENT WITH US. 
          WE WISH YOU BOTH THE BEST MOVING INTO YOUR NEW ENDEAVORS. 
          >> THANK YOU. 
          >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          >> GOOD LUCK WITH MICHIGAN STATE. 
          [OVERLAPPING] AS THE MOTHER OF A STUDENT THAT WENT THERE 11 YEARS AGO, I WISH YOU THE BEST. 
          >> AWESOME. 
          >>THANK YOU. 
          >> THANK YOU AS WELL. 
          >> WE'RE SORRY THAT WE DIDN'T GET TO WORK WITH YOU MORE IN THE SAME GROUP. 
          [OVERLAPPING] IT'S BEEN GREAT TO WATCH YOU AND SEE HOW YOU PROGRESS, SO THANK YOU. 
          >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          [APPLAUSE] 
          >> OKAY. WE'RE ON TO FISCAL MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE. 
          DO YOU WANT TO GIVE US A BEAT INTO THE QUESTION? 
          >> [LAUGHTER] WELL, I CAN JUST TELL YOU THIS. 
          THE TETON GROUP MET ABOUT A WEEK AGO AND GILLIAN WAS NOT AVAILABLE AND KRISTEN TOLD SHE NEVER WANTED TO MEET WITH US AGAIN. 
          [LAUGHTER] 
          >> THAT'S A TRUE STATEMENT. 
          [LAUGHTER]. 
          >> DID YOU MAKE HER CRY OR SOMETHING? [LAUGHTER] 
          >> SHE NEVER GOT TO TEARS, BUT SHE WAS A LITTLE FRUSTRATED. 
          SERIOUSLY, I THINK WE'VE DONE SOME GOOD WORK. 
          WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT THE INCENTIVE PACKAGE THAT SHE'S GOING TO JUST TAKE US THROUGH TONIGHT AS WELL AS BRIEFLY ABOUT THE COMPENSATION PACKAGE AND WHERE WE STAND FINANCIALLY MOVING FORWARD. 
          AT THAT, I'LL JUST TURN IT OVER TO KRISTEN. 
          >> AS YOU ALL KNOW, WE DIDN'T EXPECT THE FUNDING MODEL FOR NEXT YEAR TO BE AVAILABLE UNTIL THE MIDDLE OF JUNE. 
          WD ACTUALLY MADE THAT AVAILABLE ON FRIDAY OF LAST WEEK, 
          [00:30:04]
ABOUT FIVE O'CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON. 
          IN MY INITIAL PEAK AT THAT AND INITIAL CALCULATIONS, I'M ESTIMATING OUR RECAPTURE AMOUNT AT ABOUT 18 MILLION FOR NEXT YEAR BUT IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE CLOSER TO 22 MILLION. 
          THAT'S REALLY THE MOST PROMINENT DETAIL OF WHAT I'M SEEING AT THIS MOMENT. 
          BUT ALSO IN THAT SAME VEIN, IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE ALL OF THE MOVES IN THE FUNDING MODEL ARE GOING TO IMPACT US IN A HUGE WAY BECAUSE OF ADM AND SOME OF THE CHANGES THEY'VE MADE WITH INSURANCE. 
          I THINK FOR NEXT YEAR, OUR FUNDING WILL BE PRETTY STABLE. 
          >> MR. CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, WE DO KNOW WE WILL PROBABLY SEE A LOSS IN OUR HEALTH INSURANCE BECAUSE OF THE WAY THEY CALCULATE THE NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES INVOLVED IN THE PLAN BECAUSE THERE'S VERY STRONG FEELINGS THAT THEY SHOULDN'T BE FUNDING EMPLOYEES THAT DON'T TAKE HEALTH INSURANCE. 
          THE ADM, I THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE OKAY. 
          THERE'S CERTAINLY CLOSE SCRUTINY ON OTHER THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING, BUT THERE WAS NO REDUCTIONS TAKEN. 
          IN FACT, I JUST MADE MY HOTEL RESERVATIONS TODAY TO GO TO CHEYENNE AGAIN, MID-JULY FOR THE FIVE-DAY SESSION THAT THEY DO MID-JULY JUST TO PROTECT OUR TURF BECAUSE WHO KNOWS WHERE THEY COULD GO. 
          >> ON THE ADM CALCULATION, I THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE PRETTY LUCKY. 
          WE WILL SEE A DECREASE IN ADM BUT BECAUSE THEY CAPTURE THAT NUMBER ON OCTOBER 1ST, THAT IS REALLY BEFORE WE HAD SOME ATTRITION THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND HOPEFULLY, WE'LL RECAPTURE THE ATTRITION THAT WE EXPERIENCED THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR AGAIN BEFORE OCTOBER 1ST STEP SHOP. 
          >> I AM PROBABLY MOST WORRIED ABOUT ALSO TRANSPORTATION. 
          ANYTHING THAT IS A TOTALLY REFUNDED PIECE OF THE FUNDING IS ALWAYS UNDER CLOSE SCRUTINY AND TRANSPORTATION IS CERTAINLY ONE THAT THEY'VE BEEN KEEPING A SHARP EYE ON. 
          I THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE OKAY. 
          >> IN TRANSPORTATION, DIRECTOR STEVENS AND I HAVE HAD QUITE A FEW CONVERSATIONS ABOUT WHERE WE ARE IN TERMS OF THE STATUS OF OUR TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT. 
          HE'S DONE AN INCREDIBLE JOB IN MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF NEW BUSES AT THIS POINT IN TIME, REALLY BUILDING UP THE SHOP. 
          THAT NEW HEAD MECHANIC IN THE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT HAS DONE A GREAT JOB. 
          THEY'RE STARTING TO REALLY BUILD A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE OVER THERE, WHICH HAS BEEN GREAT. 
          >> THANKS, KRISTEN. IN OTHER REPORTS, TRUSTEE CARLIN. 
          >>YES. I ATTENDED THE PREVENTION COALITION MEETING TODAY AS I SIT ON THERE AS A BOARD MEMBER, TCSD BOARD MEMBER. 
          THERE'S ALSO BERTHA AREN FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL WAS ON THE MEETING AND [INAUDIBLE] WAS OFTEN THERE AS WELL. 
          I JUST WANTED TO REPORT A COUPLE OF SEVERAL COOL THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING. 
          LAST WEEK, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT PREVENTION IT'S NOT JUST SUBSTANCE PREVENTION, BUT SUICIDE PREVENTION AND MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. 
          LAST WEEK, THE COALITION AND [INAUDIBLE] COLLABORATED ON A VIRTUAL TALK. 
          IT WAS CALLED HOW TO TALK TO YOUR KIDS ABOUT SUICIDE. 
          THERE WERE 45 ATTENDEES VIA ZOOM, SO THERE COULD HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE PEOPLE. 
          IT WAS PRESENTED BY COALITION PRESENTER SADIE MONAGHAN WHO IS A CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST AND ADAM WILLIAMSON FROM THE JACKSON HOLE COMMUNITY COUNSELING CENTER AND IT'S RECORDED AND WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE. 
          ON MAY 17TH THERE'S A LUNCH AND LEARN AT 12:00 PM FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS ON DISORDERED EATING AND EXERCISE CAN HARM YOUR MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH. 
          THERE IS AN INVITE OUT THERE FOR EVERYBODY. 
          I THINK IT'LL COME THROUGH THE DISTRICT AS WELL. 
          THAT'S THE LUNCH AND LEARN. 
          THEN THERE'S A COMMUNITY VIRTUAL MENTAL HEALTH TALK ON MAY 19TH AT 07:00 PM AND IT'S ON THE IMPACT OF SOCIAL MEDIA ON MENTAL HEALTH IN TEENS. 
          THEY ARE SENDING INVITES OUT FOR THAT. 
          THEY'RE SENDING THOSE OUT IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH BECAUSE THEY WILL HAVE A SPANISH INTERPRETER FOR THAT IMPORTANT TOPIC. 
          THEN THERE ARE POSTERS AND COUNTER TENTS THAT HAVE BEEN PRODUCED TO GO INTO LIQUOR STORES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY WITH EDUCATING ON SOCIAL CODES LAWS TO PREVENT UNDERAGE DRINKING. 
          THEY HAVE SOME GREAT GRAPHICS AND WHAT NOT. 
          I THINK A LOT OF THE LIQUOR STORES WHEN BEVERLY 
          [00:35:02]
WAS GOING INTO THEM TO ASK IF SHE COULD LEAVE THEN THEY'RE LIKE, ''WE CHECK IDS. 
          WE'RE DOING A GREAT JOB THAT WAY.'' SHE SAID THAT THIS IS BEYOND THAT. 
          THIS IS A LOT OF ADULTS ARE BUYING ALCOHOL FOR TEENS AND THERE ARE REPERCUSSIONS FOR THOSE ADULTS AND THEY DON'T KNOW THAT, SO THEY'RE GETTING THAT INFORMATION OUT. 
          THEN BETH FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL ALSO REPORTED THAT SHE IS DOING AN ANTI-TOBACCO LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES AND SHE'S TARGETING FIFTH GRADERS. 
          SHE'S GOING AROUND THE SCHOOLS AND SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT THOSE PRESENTATIONS. 
          IT WAS PRETTY AMAZING TO HEAR THE PRESENTATION SHE'S DOING AND THE REACTION OF THE KIDS AND REALLY TRYING TO GET AHEAD OF THE BAKING ISSUE BEFORE IT GETS INTO THE MIDDLE SCHOOLERS. 
          IT'S PRETTY INTERESTING. I THINK THERE'S A LOT GOING ON AND WE'VE GONE INTO A COMMITTEE STRUCTURE. 
          THERE'S SMALL GROUPS OF PEOPLE REALLY FOCUSING ON CERTAIN ASPECTS. 
          THESE ARE THE ONES THAT WERE PERTINENT TO US. THANK YOU. 
          >> IT'S LIKE THEY'RE ACCOMPLISHING A LOT. 
          >> YEAH, THEY REALLY ARE [LAUGHTER]. 
          >> THANKS FOR BEING ON THAT BOARD. 
          WE REALLY APPRECIATE. ANY OTHER REPORTS? ANYBODY ELSE HAVE OTHER REPORTS? WE WILL MOVE ON TO ACTION ITEMS. THE FIRST ACTION ITEM IS CONSIDERATION OF THE 2022-2023 KELLY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BOUNDARY OF ADJUSTMENT. MADAME SUPERINTENDENT. 
          [E. Action Items]
THANK YOU, CHAIR [INAUDIBLE] , TRUSTEES. 
          THERE'S AN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY POSTED THAT IS VERY COMPLETE AND LENGTHY. 
          I KNOW YOU ALL HAVE READ THROUGH IT AND I KNOW I'VE KEPT YOU ALL UP TO DATE. 
          A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME HAS BEEN SPENT LOOKING AT THIS ISSUE AND TRYING TO FIND A SOLUTION. 
          ALSO WITH THE UNDERSTANDING OF HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO CHANGE SCHOOLS. 
          TO UPROOT WE, AS A DISTRICT, MADE SIGNIFICANT MOVES IN THIS DIRECTION SO THAT STUDENTS WOULDN'T HAVE TO TRANSITION WHEN WE WENT TO THE K5 STRUCTURE. 
          WE UNDERSTAND THAT. WHAT WE HAVE BEFORE YOU REPRESENTS THE CHANGE FOR CURRENT KELLY FAMILIES OR THEIR SIBLINGS THAT MAY BE IN [INAUDIBLE] , IF YOU WILL. 
          THIS IS A BOUNDARY CHANGE BEGINNING WITH THE 22-23 SCHOOL YEAR FOR STUDENTS WHO LIVE SOUTH OF SAGEBRUSH. 
          IF THEY'RE ALREADY AT KELLY, THEY ARE NOT IMPACTED. 
          THEN TO ADDRESS THE CLASS SIZES, WE ARE GOING TO ADD A NEW TEACHER TO KELLY SO THAT THE KINDERGARTEN CLASS WILL HAVE 13 STUDENTS, THE FIRST-GRADE CLASS WILL HAVE 10, THE 2-3 CLASS WILL HAVE 16, AND THE 4-5 CLASS WILL HAVE 22, AND ADDING A PAIR OF SUPPORT AS WELL AS THE ON-SITE PRINCIPLE, AT LEAST ONE DAY A WEEK. 
          WE HAVE STAFFED IT APPROPRIATELY FOR THE NUMBERS. 
          WHAT IS BEFORE YOU IS TO APPROVE THE CHANGE IN BOUNDARY BEGINNING WITH NEW FAMILIES SOUTH OF SAGEBRUSH FOR THE '22-'23 SCHOOL YEAR. 
          WITH THAT, I STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. 
          >> ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT? [NOISE] 
          >> [OVERLAPPING] I HAVE ONE. IT'S JUST FOR CLARIFICATION REALLY IS. 
          WE'LL BE HIRING ANOTHER TEACHER WHO WILL BE A KINDERGARTEN TEACHER, AND WHERE WILL THAT CLASS GO? WILL THEY HAVE THE 23 STUDENTS IN ONE CLASS WITH TWO TEACHERS, OR IS THERE SPACE? 
          >> THANK YOU, CHAIR GINGERY AND TRUSTEE CARLIN. 
          THE KELLY ELEMENTARY ONLY HAS FOUR CLASSROOMS, AND ONE RIGHT NOW IS USED AS THE SPECIALS ROOM, KIND OF A MULTIPURPOSE ROOM, SO THAT WILL BECOME A CLASSROOM. 
          SO WE'LL HAVE A KINDERGARTEN CLASS OF 13, A FIRST GRADE CLASS OF 10, AND THEN THE TWO-THREE WILL STAY COMBINED, AND THE FOUR-FIVE WILL STAY COMBINED. 
          THE SPECIALS TEACHERS WILL HAVE TO SHARE THE LIBRARY OR THE CLASSROOM SPACE. 
          >> OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT? GO AHEAD, TRUSTEE ZUNG. 
          >> JUST FOR ALSO CLARIFICATION, CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THAT OPTION OF JUST LEAVING THE BOUNDARIES AS THEY ARE SINCE WE ARE ADDING A TEACHER AND PARENT SUPPORT, WHICH IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE NEEDED, I ASSUME, 
          [00:40:01]
AS ALL THESE KIDS MOVE THROUGH SCHOOL, JUST KNOWING THAT IN THE FUTURE PROBABLY ALL THE SCHOOLS ARE GOING TO GROW, AND WE JUST KEEP THAT EXTRA SUPPORT IN KELLY TO ACCOUNT FOR THE GROWTH. 
          >> CHAIR GINGERY, TRUSTEE ZUNG. 
          WE DID LOOK AT THAT, AND WE COULD DO THAT, IT WOULD NOT BE MY RECOMMENDATION. 
          THE REASON IS PREDICTING THE ENROLLMENT FOR A KINDERGARTEN CLASS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST CHALLENGING THINGS THAT WE CAN DO, AND IN ORDER TO AVOID HAVING THIS CONVERSATION AND THIS ANGST, BECAUSE THE ANGST IS REAL FOR FAMILIES, IT'LL HAPPEN EVERY YEAR IF WE DON'T MAKE A DECISION. 
          THIS IS FOLKS THAT ARE MOVING INTO THE KELLY AREA, NOT ALREADY ATTACHED SOUTH OF SPRING GULCH, A WHOLE YEAR TO UNDERSTAND THIS IS WHAT WE'RE DOING. 
          MY CONCERN WITH LIVING THINGS THE WAY THEY ARE, AND MAKING NO CHANGE IS THAT, IF NEXT YEAR WE HAVE MORE KINDERGARTENERS THAT ARE SOUTH OF SAGEBRUSH, FRANKLY, WE NEVER WOULD HAVE PREDICTED 13 KINDERGARTENERS THAT LIVE INSIDE THIS BOUNDARY ATTENDING KELLY. 
          SO I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PREDICT THAT MOVING FORWARD, AND I THINK IT WOULD BE A RISK TO ADD. 
          IF WE GET ANOTHER CLASS OF 10, ANOTHER CLASS OF 13, WE WON'T BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE IF THIS IS THE NEW TREND THAT KELLY, WE CAN'T FIT THEM IN. 
          AT SOME POINT, AS THE BOARD, YOU'LL HAVE TO SAY, ''SORRY, IT'S MAY, BUT NONE OF YOU GET TO GO TO KELLY NEXT YEAR." THAT IS A TOUGH POSITION TO PUT THE BOARD IN. 
          SO WE FELT LIKE THIS WAS THE MOST CONSERVATIVE WAY FORWARD. 
          IF NEXT YEAR THE KINDERGARTEN CLASS IS TWO KIDS THAT LIVE NORTH OF SAGEBRUSH AND IN KELLY, AND THEN YOU WANT TO CONSIDER AN OUT OF AREA OF REQUEST, THAT'S CERTAINLY ON THE TABLE, BUT I THINK THIS IS THE MOST CONSERVATIVE WAY FORWARD BECAUSE IT WILL NOT SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT KELLY ENROLLMENT MOVING FORWARD UNLESS THERE'S A LOT OF NEW FAMILIES COMING IN SOUTH OF SAGEBRUSH. 
          THIS IS A SLOW WAY TO MANAGE THE BOUNDARIES OF THE ENROLLMENT, SORRY. 
          >> TRUSTEE TESKE. 
          >> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. GILLIAN, I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR ABILITY TO MAKE THIS WORK SO THAT YOU'RE PROVIDING CONTINUITY FOR THOSE FAMILIES THAT ARE ALREADY AT KELLY. 
          I THINK THAT CHANGE IS HARD FOR PEOPLE AND I THINK YOU'VE FOUND A WONDERFUL WAY TO MAKE THINGS WORK FOR PEOPLE. SO THANK YOU. 
          >> TRUSTEE [INAUDIBLE]. 
          >> I JUST WANT TO SECOND WHAT JANINE SAID, AND ALONG WITH THAT, THE ABILITY TO HAVE DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE CLASSROOM SIZES, BECAUSE I KNOW, ALONG WITH THAT ANGST, IT'S DIFFICULT TO CHANGE BUT AT THE SAME TIME, HAD WE NOT MADE THE CHANGES WITHIN THE SCHOOL, WE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN OFFERING THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION THAT WE HAVE COME TO OFFER. 
          SO I APPRECIATE YOU MEETING THE NEEDS OF THE FAMILIES, BUT ALSO MEETING THE NEEDS OF THE KIDS. 
          I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT AND SOMETIMES, IN ALL THAT, ALL OF THE KIDS' NEEDS. 
          >> THANK YOU. 
          >> TRUSTEE MEAD, DID YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? 
          >> CHAIR GINGERY, BOARD MEMBERS. 
          I SEEM TO RECALL, AND JANINE, YOU MIGHT REMEMBER THIS, THAT THE LINES FOR KELLY USED TO BE AT SAGEBRUSH IN NORTH. 
          BECAUSE I REMEMBER MY CHILDREN COULDN'T ENTER KELLY ALTHOUGH WE THOUGHT ABOUT IT FOR A WHILE, OF TAKING THEM UP THERE. 
          SO IT SEEMS LIKE THAT'S WHERE THE LINES USED TO BE SOME TIME AGO. 
          I DON'T THINK IT'S THAT UNUSUAL TO HAVE THE MOVES AND KELLY KIDS GO, TO KELLY SCHOOL. 
          THANK YOU FOR ALL THE HARD WORK ON THIS. 
          IT'S ALWAYS DIFFICULT BUT, BOY, WITH THE GROWTH IN OUR COUNTY THAT SEEMS TO ALWAYS BE CHANGING. 
          >> OKAY. WE'LL MOVE ON TO PUBLIC COMMENT. 
          FIRST OF ALL, IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT HERE IN THE ACTUAL ROOM WE'RE IN? SEEING NONE. 
          IS THERE ANYONE ON WEBEX? IF YOU'RE ON WEBEX, RAISE THE VIRTUAL HAND AND WE WILL CALL ON YOU. 
          WHAT? 
          >> EREN. 
          >> EREN, CAN YOU HEAR US? GO AHEAD. 
          >> YES, I CAN. CAN YOU HEAR ME? 
          >> YES. 
          >> GREAT. FANTASTIC. I REALLY WANT TO SAY I REALLY 
          [00:45:02]
APPRECIATE THE BOARD CONSIDERING ALL OF US AND UNDERSTANDING. 
          I KNOW THAT KELLY IS AN ISSUE. 
          I GUESS WHAT I'D LIKE TO ASK IS IF THE REALITY OF 22 STUDENTS IN THE FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADE. 
          I HOPE THAT [INAUDIBLE] WILL BE SUPPORTING THE FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADE CLASS, BUT THAT IS NOT CLEAR AND [INAUDIBLE] IS A MASTER TEACHER, BUT THAT IS A LARGE CLASS FOR SPLIT GRADE SITUATION, AND I'M JUST CONCERNED. 
          I KNOW MANY PARENTS WANT TO HELP AND SUPPORT AND THERE'S ALSO AT THIS TIME NO POLICY THAT I'M AWARE OF THAT ALLOWS PARENTS TO COME INTO THE CLASSROOM. 
          I GUESS TWO-PART QUESTION. 
          ARE WE SURE THAT [INAUDIBLE] IS SET UP TO BE SUCCESSFUL FOR FOURTH, FIFTH GRADE WITH 22 STUDENTS, AND CAN WE COME UP WITH A POLICY THAT WILL ALLOW PARENTS TO COME BACK INTO THE CLASSROOMS THAT ARE SAFE AND MEET THE COVID GUIDELINES SO THAT WE CAN HELP AND SUPPORT KELLY IN THIS TIME OF GROWTH. THANK YOU. 
          >> WE WILL CIRCLE BACK WITH THAT ONCE WE FINISH ALL THE COMMENTS. 
          ANYONE ELSE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT? 
          >> [INAUDIBLE]. 
          >> I'LL GO AHEAD AND CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENT. 
          MADAM SUPERINTENDENT, DID YOU WANT TO ANSWER ANY OF THOSE QUESTIONS? 
          >> SHARE AND [INAUDIBLE] TRUSTEES. 
          THE FOUR, FIVE CLASSROOM DOES HAVE 22 STUDENTS, AND WE ARE, AS I MENTIONED, HIRING ADDITIONAL PAIR OF SUPPORT. 
          THEY ALSO DO HAVE AN INTERVENTIONIST AND SPECIAL ED TEACHER, SO THERE'S AN EXTRA PERSON THERE. 
          THE SCHOOL UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF PRINCIPAL ANITRA JENSEN WILL DEVELOP THE SCHEDULE FOR THE SUPPORT STAFF THAT ARE AT KELLY. 
          I'M CONFIDENT THAT THE SCHOOL TEAM WILL WORK ON A PLAN THAT BEST MEETS THE NEEDS OF THE STUDENTS AS WELL AS THE CLASSROOM TEACHER. 
          CURRENTLY, VOLUNTEERS ARE NOT PERMITTED IN THE BUILDING, AND IN THE FUTURE, JUST LIKE IN THE PAST, PARENTS ARE CAPABLE OF VOLUNTEERING AND I WILL WORK THROUGH THE PROCESS WITH THE PRINCIPAL. 
          >> ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? 
          >> MR. CHAIR, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE KELLY BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENTS BEGINNING 2022-2023 IS PRESENTED. 
          I'D ALSO LIKE TO BECAUSE I FORGOT TO DO THIS WHEN I SPOKE BEFORE, I'D LIKE TO THANK ANITRA FOR HER HELP WITH [INAUDIBLE] AS WELL. THANK YOU. 
          >> IS THERE A SECOND? 
          >> I'LL SECOND. 
          >>IT'S BEEN MOVED BY TRUSTEE TESKE AND SECONDED BY TRUSTEE CARLIN TO APPROVE THE KELLY ELECTRIC SCHOOL BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENTS BEGINNING IN 2022-2023 AS PRESENTED. 
          IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION PRIOR TO THE VOTE? THERE'S THESE UP. 
          >> I JUST WANTED TO EXPRESS THAT APPRECIATION ALSO BEING AN ULTRA RESIDENT AND I REALIZED HOW IMPORTANT AND TIGHT-KNIT THESE FOSSILS CAN BE AT. 
          WE'RE DOING THIS TRANSITION VERY GRADUALLY OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. 
          IT'S NOT A VACCINE. 
          ANY CURRENT FAMILIES OR EVEN THE CURRENTLY I'M LIKE SIBLINGS. 
          I REALLY DO APPRECIATE. 
          >> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? I WOULD JUST PUT FOUR DIFFERENT TENANT CHAPLAIN. 
          I REALLY APPRECIATED AS SOON AS YOU KNEW ABOUT THE ISSUE, YOU NOTIFIED THE BOARD, YOU NOTIFIED THE PARENTS BY A LETTER. 
          YOU THEN WENT OUT AND MET WITH THE PARENTS, TOOK ALL THEIR SUGGESTIONS, AND THEN FORMULATED A PLAN AND THEN BROUGHT IT BACK TO US IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THAT YOU HAD TO FIGURE THIS OUT, JUST REALLY APPRECIATE IT THAT THE COMMUNICATIONS TO THE KELLY PARENTS WAS EXCELLENT AND THE MANNER IN WHICH HE FORMULATED A SOLUTION WAS WAS EXCELLENT. 
          >> THANK YOU. 
          >> ALL RIGHT. ALL THOSE FOR APPROVAL. SAY AYE. 
          >> AYE. 
          >> ALL THOSE AGAINST. 
          >> AYE. 
          >> THAT'S A PERSON AGAINST. WE WILL MOVE ONTO THE FY 22 COMPENSATION PACKAGE. 
          WE'LL START WITH KRISTEN. 
          >> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. THIS IS THE DRAFT THAT YOU HAVE HAD BEFORE YOU LEFT AT LAST MONTH'S MEETING. 
          THE ONLY CHANGE THAT WE'VE MADE IS JUST SOME LANGUAGE ON THE BOTTOM OF PAGE 6 WITH THEIR ORIGINAL COSTS ADJUSTMENT, TRUSTEE TESKE MADE A SUGGESTION TO CHANGE HOW I HAD THAT WRITTEN AND THAT CHANGED FRIENDLY RCA. 
          HE'S GOING TO PLAY TWO STEPS IN WAVES. 
          THERE WAS SOME OTHER LANGUAGE IN THERE ABOUT HEALTH INSURANCE 
          [00:50:02]
AND IT HAS BEEN CHANGED TO THE RCA HAS BEEN APPLIED TO STEPS IN LEADS. 
          >> THE RCA DOESN'T APPLY TO HEALTH INSURANCE AND WYOMING RETIREMENT CONTRIBUTIONS. 
          >> IT DOES NOT. 
          >> OKAY. GOOD CATCH. THANKS. THAT'S THE ONLY CHANGE FROM THE LAST TIME WE LOOKED AT? 
          >> YES. 
          >> ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS FOR KRISTEN ON THE COMPENSATION PACKAGE? 
          >> WANT HER PUBLIC EDIFICATION SINCE IT'S BEEN TIME SINCE WE REVIEWED IT LAST. 
          JUST BRIEFLY TALK ABOUT THE CHANGE IN THE MEDICAL BENEFIT. 
          >> SURE IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT ARTICLE WE CERTAINLY CAN. 
          >> LAST YEAR FOR HEALTH INSURANCE WE HAD THREE OPTIONS WE HAD TWO TRADITIONAL PLANS AND WE HAD A HIGH DEDUCTIBLE PLAN THAT EMPLOYEES COULD CHOOSE FROM. 
          WE FUNDED WHAT WE CALL TIER TWO, WHICH IS A TRADITIONAL PLAN WITH THEIR $2,500 DEDUCTIBLE. 
          MY RECOMMENDATION OR OUR RECOMMENDATION THE SHARE IS TO ELIMINATE THAT TEAR TWO AND FULLY FUND THE TRADITIONAL PLAN OR THE $15,000 DEDUCTIBLE AND THEN ALSO OFFER THE HIGH DEDUCTIBLE PLAN. 
          WE HAVE EMPLOYEES THAT BOTH ENJOY HAVING A TRADITIONAL PLAN WHERE THERE'S NOT A HUGE OUT-OF-POCKET COST. 
          AS WELL AS SOME EMPLOYEES THAT ENJOY HAVING THE HIGH-DEDUCTIBLE PLAN WITH AN HSA CONTRIBUTION. 
          WE THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO LEAVE THOSE TWO OPTIONS THERE. 
          THIS WILL INCREASE THE COST OF OUR HEALTH INSURANCE FOR IN THE COMPENSATION PACKAGE BY ABOUT A MILLION DOLLARS. 
          BUT AS TRUSTEE TESKE REFERENCED EARLIER, THE CHANGES IN THE WAY THAT WE'RE FUNDED AND THE HEALTH INSURANCE ACCOUNTABILITY. 
          WE EITHER SPEND THIS MONEY ON INSURANCE OR WE LOSE IT. 
          THAT IS THE REASON FOR THE RECOMMENDATION. 
          >> THIS IS IN ANY WAY HURT ANY EMPLOYEES BY CHANGES? 
          >> THERE WAS SOME QUESTION ABOUT COUPLES WHO BOTH WORKED FOR THE DISTRICT. 
          IT DIDN'T COME TO ME, SO I WASN'T QUITE CLEAR WHAT THE CONCERN WAS BUT COUPLES IN THE PAST BOTH RECEIVED AN HSA CONTRIBUTION IF THEY WERE ON A HIGH DEDUCTIBLE PLAN. 
          WE'VE MOVED TO ACCOUNTING FOR ALL COUPLES, ALL EMPLOYEES THAT WORK FOR THE DISTRICT IF THEY'RE MARRIED COUPLE AND THEY'VE ELECTED THE SAME PLAN, WE DO WHAT'S CALLED A SPLIT CONTRACT. 
          THEY BOTH RECEIVE BASICALLY HALF OF THE BENEFIT. 
          IT WOULD BE SIMILAR TO ONE EMPLOYEE ELECTING A FAMILY COVERAGE WITH TWO CHILDREN AND A SINGLE. 
          I BELIEVE THAT THE BENEFITS ARE EQUITABLE AND I DIDN'T HEAR BACK FROM THAT EMPLOYEE OR FROM THAT FEEDBACK. 
          ANYTHING DIFFERENT AFTER I REPLIED. 
          >> MR. CHAIR, THIS IS BECAUSE, AND THIS IS WHAT FRUSTRATES ME ABOUT WHERE WE'RE HEADING WITH THIS LEGISLATIVE PERSPECTIVE. 
          THIS IS BECAUSE IF WE DO NOT SPLIT THOSE CONTRACTS, WE ONLY GET CREDIT FOR ONE OF THOSE EMPLOYEES KEEPING HEALTH INSURANCE. 
          >> THAT'S WHERE SOME OF THE GHOST EMPLOYEES COME FROM THAT WE SEE IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE. 
          >> SURE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR KRISTEN? 
          >> NICE CALL. 
          >> THANK YOU. 
          >> GREAT WE'LL OPEN IT UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. 
          FIRST OF ALL, ANYONE IN THE ROOM THAT HAS A PUBLIC COMMENT? SEEING NONE. 
          ANYONE ON WEBEX, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO MAKE PUBLIC COMMENT, RAISE THE VIRTUAL HAND. 
          SEEING NONE, WE WILL BRING IT BACK UP TO THE BOARDS IF SOMEBODY WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION. 
          >> MR. CHAIR, I WOULD MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE 2021, 2022 EMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION PACKAGE AS PRESENTED. 
          >> ANY SECONDS? 
          >> I'M GOING TO SECOND. 
          >> BEEN MOVED BY TRUSTEE TESKE AND SECONDED BY TRUSTEE CARLIN TO APPROVE THE FY 22 COMPENSATION PACKAGE AS PRESENTED. 
          IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION BY THE BOARD PRIOR TO THE TRUSTEE BEAN DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING? 
          >> NO, I DON'T MR. CHAIR. 
          >> THANK YOU. BEING NONE. 
          ALL OF THOSE FOR APPROVAL SAY AYE. 
          >> AYE. 
          >> ALL THOSE AGAINST THAT ONE IS UNANIMOUS. 
          WELL, THEY'LL NOW MOVE ON TO CONSIDERATION OF BUDGET ALLOCATION FOR EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT PLAN. 
          >> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. 
          THIS IS THE EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT PLAN THAT IS INCLUDED IN THE COMPENSATION PACKAGE. 
          THIS WAS APPROVED LAST YEAR FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR. 
          WHAT IS BEFORE YOU IS THE ALLOCATION TO THE EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT PLAN. 
          WE'VE ON AVERAGE BUDGETED $250,000 FOR A SIMILAR BENEFIT IN THE PAST. 
          THAT'S MY RECOMMENDATION TO CONTINUE WITH THE $250,000 ALLOCATION FOR THE TOP 25 PERCENT, BUT THE TEST IS GIVING ME A WORKLOAD. 
          >> WELL, WE CAN [BACKGROUND] DEBATE THAT. 
          >> SURE. 
          >> WHAT THAT STUFF'S CONCERNING IS $250,000, 
          [00:55:01]
BUT JUST IN CASE, YOU CAN AMEND THAT IF TRUE. 
          >> THIS IS FOR THE TOP 25 PERCENT OF ELIGIBLE STAFF, WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 126 PEOPLE. 
          >> OKAY. I FORGET HOW THIS WORKS. 
          I KNOW YOU EXPLAINED TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE, REMIND ME BECAUSE I JUST FORGET. 
          HOW DOES THE SYSTEM WORK? 
          >> THIS IS BASED ON ATTENDANCE. 
          THE TOP 25 PERCENT OF PEOPLE FOR ATTENDANCE. 
          COVID IS A HARD YEAR TO MEASURE THIS BUT THE WAY THE EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT PLAN IS WRITTEN IS BASED ON USED AND UNUSED PTO DAYS. 
          PEOPLE USE PTO DAYS OR NOT USE PTO DAYS, THAT'S WHAT MAKES UP THE TOP 25 PERCENT OF THE STAFF MEMBERS. 
          OF THOSE PEOPLE, WE TAKE THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY, WHETHER IT'S 250 THOUSAND, 150 THOUSAND, AND DIVIDE IT BY 126 EMPLOYEES. 
          I PULLED THE ABSENCE DATA AS OF APRIL 29TH, WHICH I THINK WAS THE DATE. 
          WHEN I RAN THE NUMBERS, IT'S APPROXIMATELY BETWEEN ONE AND TWO DAYS DEPENDING ON THE EMPLOYEE GROUP. 
          WE HAVE TO SPLIT IT UP INTO DIFFERENT CATEGORIES, FOR EXAMPLE, TEACHERS GET 12 PTO DAYS BETWEEN THE 10 WE CONVERTED. 
          THEN THOSE OTHER STAFF MEMBERS, THEY GET 20 DAYS, THOSE OTHER STAFF MEMBERS TO GET 34. 
          BASED ON ALL OF THAT INFORMATION, THE TOP 25 PERCENT OF THOSE STAFF MEMBERS THEN BASICALLY SPLIT THIS POT OF MONEY THAT YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO DECIDE ON TONIGHT. 
          BEYOND THE TOP 25 PERCENT, EMPLOYEES CAN ROLL OVER UP TO 75 DAYS A YEAR BECAUSE WE MADE THIS CHANGE LAST YEAR, AND WE STILL BOUGHT OUT SICK TIME LAST YEAR WHEN WE TRANSITIONED FROM VACATION AND SICK TO PTO, THERE AREN'T THAT MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THAT BOAT. 
          THEY CAN ROLL UP OVER UP TO 75 DAYS. 
          IF THEY'RE OVER 60 DAYS, THEY CAN CHOOSE OPTION TWO OR OPTION THREE, WHICH TAKES THEM OUT OF THE TOP 25 PERCENT, BUT IF THEY'RE NOT ALREADY IN THE TOP 25 PERCENT, THEN THEY CAN SELL THEIR DAYS OPTION TWO ADD A $100 TODAY FOR CASH, OR THEY CAN DO HALF OF THEIR DAILY RATE IN OPTION THREE INTO A 457-ACCOUNTS. 
          >> AGAIN, THE POLICY REASON WE DO THIS IS TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE NOT TO TAKE DAYS OFF. 
          >> YES. 
          >> MR. CHAIR? 
          >> GO AHEAD. 
          >> THE AGREEMENT THAT CAME OUT OF INCOME SOMEBODY TOOK WHICH IS NOT TYPED, I'M NOT [INAUDIBLE] [LAUGHTER]. 
          ONCE WE WOULD AGREE TO SET ASIDE $150 THOUSAND, AND THAT THE NUMBER WOULD REALLY BE REDUCED TO MORE DOWN TO ABOUT A 100 EMPLOYEES BECAUSE WE WOULD REMOVE THOSE EMPLOYEES. 
          I MEAN, THIS WAS A MESSY YEAR TO DO THIS BECAUSE OF COVID. 
          IS IT FAIR FOR PEOPLE THAT HAD BEEN OFF FROM TUNING AND HAVING TO DO? THIS IS WHY THE DISCUSSION WAS SO ROUGH. 
          WE AGREED TO TAKE THOSE FOLKS THAT HAD TO USE, WHAT DO YOU CALL IT? 
          >> FFCRA. FOLLOW-UP TO THE CONVERSATION, AFTER PINCOME, WE HAD A LOT OF DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS IN DOING SOME RESEARCH, VISITING WITH OUR HR MANAGER, HEATHER. 
          I DON'T BELIEVE THAT WE CAN TAKE OUT THOSE PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T ON FFCRA LEAVE BY CHOICE. 
          WE QUARANTINED PEOPLE, WE TOLD PEOPLE THEY COULDN'T COME TO WORK AND BECAUSE OF THAT, I THINK WE HAVE TO GO BASED ON WHAT THE EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT PLAN SAYS, WHICH IS THE PTO DAYS USED. 
          >> I WISH YOU WOULD HAVE COME BACK TO THE PINCOME AND PULL THIS OUT. 
          >> THERE'S TWO ISSUES WE HAVE FOR FEEDBACK. 
          ONE WAS THIS REMOVING CERTAIN PEOPLE, THE OTHER ONE WAS, YOU GUYS THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE A LOWER NUMBER. 
          >> WE DID. [OVERLAPPING] 
          >> ACTUALLY, I THINK WE MIGHT NOT HAVE COME THROUGH COLLUSION AND THAT'S WHY IT IS ABOUT ON OUR AGENDA BOTTOM LINE. 
          >> WE DON'T HAVE ANY AUTHORITY TO DO ANY OF THAT. 
          >> WE DON'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DO ANY OF THAT. 
          >> BECAUSE OF THOSE CONVERSATIONS, I DID FOLLOW UP WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT AND I DID HAVE THESE CONVERSATIONS. 
          I APOLOGIZE IF IT FEELS LIKE WE CHANGED THAT IN THE INTERIM BUT THAT WAS THE AMOUNT THAT WE BUDGETED FOR AND THAT WAS WHY WE DECIDED TO PUT IT AT 250 THOUSAND. 
          OF COURSE, THIS BOARD CAN CHANGE THAT. 
          IT WAS A ROCK AND A HARD SPOT WITH THIS ONE BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF QUESTIONS OUT THERE. 
          >> COOL. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR KRISTEN? JUSTIN [INAUDIBLE] , DID YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? 
          >> I NEVER HAD. CHAIR , BOARD MEMBERS, I'M NOT CHAIR BUT THE QUESTION AS MUCH AS A COMMENT. 
          [01:00:01]
IT SEEMED THAT LAST YEAR WHEN WE APPROVED THIS, A LOT OF THE JUSTIFICATION WAS THAT IT WOULD COST US LESS THAN THE PLAN THAT WE HAD BEFORE. 
          JANINE, I SEE YOU NODDING YOUR HEAD, SO I GUESS I RECALL IT CORRECTLY BUT $250 THOUSAND, I DON'T RECALL THAT AS BEING LESS THAN WHAT IT WOULD COST US. 
          I DON'T RECALL THAT FOR SURE AND I SUPPOSE KRISTEN, YOU MIGHT KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT. 
          >> CHAIR GINGERY, JUSTIN MEME, WHEN WE WENT DOWN WITH CHAP, WE WERE HAVING AN ISSUE WITH ATTENDANCE WITH SAM. 
          WHAT WE DID IS WE STARTED WITH THE VISITORS A YEAR-LONG STUDY WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT ADVISORY COUNCIL MEETING. 
          WE BROUGHT IT TO THE FACILITATOR TO HELP US REALLY STUDY THE PROBLEM AND INVESTIGATE WHAT'S THE BEST WAY FORWARD. 
          FRANKLY, THERE WAS A LOT OF FEAR ON THE EMPLOYEES PART THAT WE WOULD TAKE AWAY A BENEFIT FROM THEM THAT THEY EXPECT AND DEPEND ON AND THEY LIKE. 
          IT WAS ALSO AN ISSUE OF EQUITY SO THAT THE STAFF THAT HAD BEEN HERE FOR A WHILE OR MALES BECAUSE YOU DON'T BEAR CHILDREN. 
          YOU, MALES AND OLDER STAFF WERE GETTING A MUCH BIGGER BENEFIT THAN A NEWER EMPLOYEE. 
          WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH IS SOME EQUITY AND TO ENCOURAGE EMPLOYEES TO COME, NOT WHEN THEY'RE SICK, WE DON'T WANT THAT. 
          I ACTUALLY THINK IF THERE'S A GOOD THING ABOUT COVID, I THINK THAT IS REINFORCED THAT IF YOU'RE NOT AT YOUR BEST, DON'T COME TO WORK. 
          I THINK PEOPLE ARE MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE WITH THAT THAN THEY EVER WERE. 
          THAT'S A GOOD THING UP FROM COVID BUT WE ANNUALLY SET ASIDE 250 THOUSAND FOR THE EMPLOYEE, THE PREVIOUS EMPLOYEE BAR ACT, THAT IF MY MEMORY SEARCH CORRECTLY, LESS THAN 50 STAFF WE'RE ELIGIBLE FOR THAT. 
          IT WAS PRETTY [NOISE] INEQUITABLE. 
          THE OTHER CHALLENGE THAT WE HAD IS PREDICTING WHAT THAT AMOUNT WAS GOING TO BE BECAUSE IT VARIES YEAR TO YEAR. 
          THIS PROVIDED SOME STABILITY AND THE SUPERINTENDENT ADVISORY COUNCIL COMMITTEE, REALLY CAME FORWARD WITH THIS. 
          PART OF THE PLAN, HOWEVER, WAS FOR THE BOARD TO AND REALLY DETERMINE IN MAY WHAT THAT AMOUNT IS. 
          KRISTEN WAS BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD SPACE HERE BECAUSE WE HAVE ASSURED THAT THE STAFF, NO, WE'RE NOT TRYING TO TAKE A BENEFIT AWAY FROM YOU. 
          NO, WE'RE NOT GOING TO YANK THE RUG OUT FROM UNDERNEATH YOU. 
          WE WERE REALLY BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD STATE. 
          SINCE WE BUDGETED FOR 250 THOUSAND, THAT'S WHAT WE PUT IN THERE. 
          WOULD IT BE BETTER IF IT WERE LESS? ABSOLUTELY, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. 
          THAT'S TOTALLY UP TO YOU AS THE BOARD, THAT WE WANTED TO HONOR THE WORK THAT THE SUPERINTENDENT ADVISORY COUNCIL COMMITTEE PUT IN, AS WELL AS WHAT WE HAD ORIGINALLY BUDGETED FOR. 
          THE QUESTION ABOUT THE FFCRA LEAVE, WE WERE CONCERNED THAT THAT WOULD BE A CHALLENGE FOR FOLKS BECAUSE AGAIN, SOME PEOPLE BE LIKE IF A STUDENT WAS POSITIVE IN THEIR CLASSROOM, WE QUARANTINED THE WHOLE CLASS. 
          THAT'S REALLY NOT THE TEACHER'S FAULT. 
          THEY WEREN'T CHOOSING TO USE THEIR PTO, SO THAT'S WHY WE FELT LIKE WE COULDN'T EXCLUDE ANYBODY THAT HAD THE ACCESS TO FFCRA LEAVE. 
          THOUGH, I'M NOT SURE IF THAT HELPS EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT OF THE BACKGROUND BUT THAT'S WHERE WE ARE. 
          >> TRUSTEE CARLIN. 
          >> I'M JUST CURIOUS, IT JUST OCCURRED TO ME WHEN YOU SAID THAT. 
          IF A WHOLE CLASS WAS QUARANTINED, THEY WERE STILL TEACHING, BUT VIA ONLINE. IS THAT NOT CORRECT? YES. THERE WERE OCCASIONS WHERE THE CLASSROOM TEACHER WAS QUARANTINED OR ISOLATED, BUT SOME OF THE KIDS OR NOT ALL OF THE CLASS WOULD HAVE BEEN INFECTED. 
          THEN SOMETIMES, A STAFF MEMBER MAY HAVE BEEN ILL WITH THE VIRUS, AND THEY REALLY WEREN'T ABLE TO EVEN IF THEIR WHOLE CLASS WAS QUARANTINED, 
          [01:05:05]
THEY REALLY COULDN'T PHYSICALLY TEACH. 
          HUGE CREDIT TO OUR HUMAN RESOURCES, AND OUR PRINCIPALS, WITH OUR NURSE LEADERSHIP, WE ARE NAVIGATING SOME REALLY DIFFICULT UNCHARTED WATERS. 
          THERE'S A LOT OF CIRCUMSTANCES THAT I KNOW THEY ALL HAVE MUCH BETTER EXAMPLES THAN I DO. 
          >> THANK YOU. TRUSTEE [INAUDIBLE]. 
          >> THAT LEADS ME TO ANOTHER QUESTION. 
          THIS YEAR, WERE THERE TEACHERS THAT HAD TO TAKE PTO BECAUSE OF COVID, BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T GET THE [INAUDIBLE]? NO. I BELIEVE EVERYBODY WAS COVERED. 
          THEY ONLY TIME THAT SOMEONE WOULD HAVE HAD TO TAKE PTO BECAUSE OF A COVID RELATED REASON IS IF THEY HAD EXHAUSTED THEIR FMLA LEAVE OF 60 DAYS. SIXTY? NINETY? SIXTY. 
          SIXTY. THAT'S THE ONLY TIME THAT SOMEBODY GETS CRUSHED INTO, SO IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE QUARANTINES. 
          MULTIPLE ISOLATION ORDERS. 
          OKAY. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FOR KRIS? [OVERLAPPING]. 
          I'M SORRY. I APOLOGIZE. I FORGET TO LOOK UP. 
          ALL RIGHT. NO WORRIES. TRUSTEE [INAUDIBLE] AND THE REST OF THE BOARD, I GUESS I WASN'T REALLY CLEAR. 
          MY QUESTION WAS, GIVEN WHAT OUR EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT PLAN IS, WHAT IS THE COST OF THAT? DOES IT REACH THE 250 THOUSAND DOLLARS? I SEE THAT THAT'S A NOT TO EXCEED NUMBER, SO, WHAT'S THE REAL NUMBER? IS IT ALREADY CALCULATED? CAN YOU CALCULATE IT AT THIS TIME OR NOT? THE WAY THE TOP 25 PERCENT WORKS IS WHATEVER NUMBER YOU ALL DECIDE ON TONIGHT, I TAKE THAT NUMBER AND DIVIDE IT BY THE EMPLOYEES THAT ARE IN THE TOP 25 PERCENT. 
          IT WILL BE WHATEVER YOU DECIDE. 
          'NOT TO EXCEED' PROBABLY SHOULDN'T EVEN BE THERE'S BECAUSE WHATEVER WE SAY IT IS, YOU'RE DEFENDING ALL. 
          IT WILL BE THAT DIVIDED BY 126. 
          THEN, THE MONEY THAT GOES, IF PEOPLE WANT TO SELL, IT COMES OUT OF THAT SAME POT TOO? [OVERLAPPING]. 
          THAT IS A DIFFERENT PIECE. 
          THERE'S SO FEW PEOPLE IN THAT CATEGORY. 
          IT WOULDN'T EVEN COMPARE TO THE 250 THOUSAND. 
          I COULD GET YOU THAT NUMBER. 
          THERE'S SO FEW PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO THAT, BECAUSE THEY COULD ONLY ROLL OVER 50 DAYS LAST YEAR. 
          THE MOST ANYBODY WOULD'VE RECEIVED WAS 34, BUT THEN, A LOT OF THOSE DAYS WERE PEOPLE THAT TAKE VACATION DAYS. 
          IT'S REALLY MINIMAL. 
          MAYBE FIVE PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE ABILITY [OVERLAPPING]. 
          BUT THAT'S NOT TAKING OUT OF THE FIVE, FIRST, AND THEN THE REST DIVIDED? THAT'S NOT, BUT WE ABSOLUTELY CAN STRUCTURE IT THAT WAY. 
          I THINK TRUSTEE [INAUDIBLE] IS MORE GETTING AT, IS THIS SAVING US MONEY, ARE WE SPENDING THE SAME, OR ARE WE SPENDING MORE? THIS, ON AVERAGE, WOULD BE ABOUT THE SAME. 
          FROM YEAR TO YEAR, IT WAS NEVER $ 250 THOUSAND. 
          SOME YEARS, IT WAS 200 THOUSAND. 
          SOME YEARS, IT WAS 275. 
          THIS WOULD GET US IN THE SAME SPACE AS WHAT WE'VE DONE BEFORE. 
          THIS YEAR IN PARTICULAR, THE OVER 50 BUYOUT IS WHAT WE USED TO HAVE. 
          THAT, USUALLY PAYS TO ABOUT 250 THOUSAND. 
          THEN WE HAD THE RETIREMENT BUYOUT THAT CAME SHORTLY AFTER THAT, THAT ALSO WAS ABOUT 250 THOUSAND. 
          THIS YEAR, WE HAD SO FEW RETIREES, BUT WE WOULD, AS A WHOLE, BE SPENDING LESS BY DOING 250 THOUSAND. 
          BUT, YES, IF WE SPEND 250 THOUSAND, WE'D BE ON PACE WITH ALL OF THE YEARS. 
          IF YOU WANTED TO SAVE MONEY, YOU WOULD NEED TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT. 
          BUT YOU, AS THE BUDGET OFFICER, YOU LOVE THIS BECAUSE IT'S A CONSISTENT NUMBER RATHER THAN YOU BEING SURPRISED EVERY YEAR IN MAY AS TO WHO. 
          BECAUSE IN THE PAST, YOU WERE ALWAYS LIKE, "OH THIS IS MORE THAN I THOUGHT." WHATEVER, BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHO WAS GOING TO DETERMINE WHAT. 
          I WOULD LOVE NOTHING MORE THAN FOR YOU ALL TO DECIDE ON THAT NUMBER, AND THAT BE THE NUMBER EVERY YEAR. 
          [LAUGHTER]. 
          IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S MORE EQUITABLE. 
          A, BECAUSE ANYBODY CAN GET IT [OVERLAPPING] AND IT GOES TO TWICE AS MANY PEOPLE REGARDLESS. 
          YES. 
          TRUSTEE [INAUDIBLE]. 
          I WAS JUST GOING TO MAKE THAT SAME COMMENT IN THE PAST, THAT SICK DAY BUYOUT WHERE PEOPLE HAVING TO BUY BACK FOR 50 DAYS WAS A VERY LIMITED GROUP, AND OUR DISCUSSION LAST YEAR WAS HOW CAN WE TAKE THAT, BECAUSE, WHAT IT WAS WAS IF YOU HAD PEOPLE WHO WERE LOOKING AND SAYING, "WELL, I'M NEVER GOING TO GET TO THAT. 
          I'M NOT GOING TO BE HERE LONG ENOUGH, AND THEREFORE, I'M NOT WORRIED. 
          [01:10:02]
I THINK I'LL TAKE MY TIME." OUR IDEA WAS, HOW DO WE ENCOURAGE ALL EMPLOYEES TO VALUE THEIR TIME HERE, SO I THINK THIS OPTION IS VERY STRONG. 
          IT'S NOT JUST SOMEBODY WHOSE BEEN HERE 20 YEARS. 
          IT GOES ALONG WITH THE SAME PERSON WHOSE HERE THE FIRST YEAR. 
          IT'S AN OPTION [INAUDIBLE]. 
          HOW MANY RETIREES THIS YEAR? OH MY GOSH. 
          NINE. 
          NINE. 
          NINE? OKAY. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THAT BUYOUT IS GOING TO COST, BUT IT JUST SEEMS IF WE WERE ORIGINALLY SPENDING 500 THOUSAND, OR AT LEAST APPROXIMATELY, THAT IF WE JUST PICK A DOLLAR AT RANDOM AND SAY WE'LL PAY FOR ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE, AND I'M RETIRING, THIS IS THE BENEFIT WE CAN [INAUDIBLE]. 
          MR. CHAIR AND I'M GOING TO GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY. 
          WHEN PEOPLE LEAVE THIS SCHOOL DISTRICT, THEY QUIT THEIR JOBS. 
          IF THEY EVER BEEN HERE, THEY GET PAID FOR THEIR SIX DAYS, OR THEIR DAYS, DEPENDING ON HOW LONG THEY'D HAVE BEEN THERE. 
          MY QUESTION WAS, HOW MUCH IS THAT GOING TO BE? HAVE YOU BEEN ABLE TO CALCULATE THAT? BECAUSE, WE KNOW WHO'S NOT HERE ANYMORE, AND WHOSE RETIRING. 
          HOW MUCH IS THAT MONEY GOING TO BE, AND IS THAT A PART OF THIS 250 THOUSAND, OR IS THAT A SEPARATE PART OF MONEY? THANK YOU TRUSTEE [INAUDIBLE]. 
          YES, I HAVE LOOKED AT THAT NUMBER. 
          I LOOKED AT IT TWO MONTHS AGO, AND THAT'S A NUMBER THAT WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WITH BECAUSE WE STILL, AT THIS TIME, HAVE ANOTHER MONTH, AT LEAST, OF EMPLOYMENT, SO THEY COULD HAVE TAKEN DAYS. 
          WHEN I LOOKED AT IT LAST TIME, IT WAS SITTING ON ABOUT 175 THOUSAND, WHICH IS NOT THE FULLY BUDGETED PART, BUT REMEMBER, THE RETIREMENT BUYOUT COMES OUT OF NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET, NOT THIS YEAR'S BUDGET, AND THAT'S WHY THIS WAS PROPOSED TO HAVE THAT FLAT AMOUNT THAT WE CAN BUDGET FOR. 
          ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. 
          ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT. 
          WE'LL MOVE ON TO PUBLIC COMMENTS. 
          ANYONE IN THE ROOM HAVE PUBLIC COMMENTS? I SEE NONE. 
          [OVERLAPPING] ANYONE ON WEBEX, RAISE YOUR VIRTUAL HAND. 
          THERE'S NONE THERE. 
          BRING IT BACK BACK UP TO THE BOARD IS SOMEONE WISH TO MAKE A MOTION? 
          >> MR. CHAIR? 
          >> YES? 
          >> I BELIEVE I NEED TO HONOR THE PROCESS SOME OF THE WORK OF THE COMMITTEE. I'M GOING TO BRING FORWARD AN AMOUNT OF $150,000. 
          >> JUST TO MAKE IT CLEAR, YOU'RE WILLING TO APPROVE THE BUDGET ALLOCATION FOR THE EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT PLAN FOR 
          >> $150,000. 
          >> $150,000. OKAY. IS THERE A SECOND TO THAT? SECOND? 
          >> I'LL SECOND IT. 
          >> ALL RIGHT, IT'S BEEN SECONDED BY TRUSTEE MEAD TO APPROVE THE EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT PLAN ALLOCATION AT $150,000. 
          IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? ANY DISCUSSION? TRUSTEE BRUMSTED. 
          >> CLARIFICATION, THAT'S THE MONEY THAT WILL BE DIVIDED JUST FOR THE INCENTIVE PROGRAM, DOES NOT INCLUDE BALANCE OF OTHER DAYS. 
          >> THAT'S CORRECT. 
          >> I WOULD JUST SAY, I CERTAINLY APPRECIATE, I THINK TRUSTEE TESKE IS DOING THE CORRECT THING IN HONORING THE WORK OF THE COMMITTEE. 
          I THINK WE'VE LEARNED MORE INFORMATION, I WOULD URGE US TO VOTE NO, AND BRING IT BACK A SECOND MOTION AT THE HIGHER LEVEL 250,000. 
          THERE'S NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, WE'LL MOVE TO VOTE. 
          ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. 
          ALL THOSE AGAINST SAY NO. 
          >> NO. 
          >> NO. 
          >> I SAY AYE. 
          >> YOU SAID AYE, OKAY. TRUSTEE MEAD [OVERLAPPING]. 
          >> I SAY AYE TOO, AYE. 
          >> OKAY, IT WAS TWO AYES, TRUSTEE MEAD AND TRUSTEE TESKE AND THE REMAINDER WERE NO'S, SO THAT MOTION FAILED. 
          WOULD SOMEONE LIKE TO MAKE A SECOND MOTION? 
          >> I MOVE TO APPROVE THE BUDGET ALLOCATION FOR THE EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT PLAN AT $250,000 AS PRESENTED. 
          >> IS THERE A SECOND? 
          >> I'LL SECOND. 
          >> IT'S BEEN MOVED BY TRUSTEE CARLIN AND SECONDED BY TRUSTEE BRUMSTED TO APPROVE THE BUDGET ALLOCATION FOR THE EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT PLAN AT $250,000. 
          IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? SEEING NONE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. 
          >> AYE. 
          [01:15:01]
          >> AYE. 
          >> ALL THOSE AGAINST. 
          >> NO. 
          >> NO. 
          >> IT PASSES WITH TWO NO'S, TRUSTEE MEAD AND TRUSTEE TESKE. 
          AND WITH THAT BOARD, WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO TAKE A FIVE MINUTE BREAK? STUDENTS WILL, THEY ARE ALL SHAKING THEIR HEADS OUT [LAUGHTER]. 
          WE WILL TAKE A FIVE MINUTE BREAK [LAUGHTER].WE'RE ALL BACK I THINK AND WE MOVE ON TO THE FUN AND EXCITING TOPIC OF LIBERATION OF THE RECREATION DISTRICT, MILL LEVY REQUEST. 
          WILL ANY ONE PARTICULAR GOING TO TALK TO US? [BACKGROUND]. 
          >> I'LL TAKE IT. 
          >> ALL RIGHT. 
          >> I'LL STARTS US OFF HERE. 
          SO CURRENTLY, THE WRECK DISTRICT BOARD IS 0.25. 
          THE WRECK DISTRICT, THEIR RECREATION DISTRICT BOARD RECOMMENDED INCREASING THE BILL TO 1.0. 
          IT HAD BEEN IN THE PAST, SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 0.8.9 IT CHANGES ANNUALLY. 
          THE WRECK DISTRICT BOARD RECOMMENDED TO INCREASE THE BACK TO 1.0. 
          THE TETON COUNTY BOARD OF TRUSTEES ARE TASKED WITH REVIEWING THAT RECOMMENDED MILL LEVY AND MAKING A FINAL RECOMMENDATION TO BE PRESENTED TO THE COUNTY. 
          SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO NOTE IN THE ATTACHMENT THAT ANDREA WILL DISPLAY, THERE ARE SEVERAL COMMONS, AND THEN ALSO I WANT TO POINT OUT TRUSTEES THAT ARE IN FRONT OF YOU IS A ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE FY 22 MILLS FROM 0.25 ALL THE WAY UP TO 1.0, SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT THAT ESTIMATED VALUE IS. 
          ON THE SCREEN, THE YELLOW REPRESENTS COMMUNITY GRANTS THAT HAVE BEEN REQUESTED SO FAR. 
          THE TETON COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD HAS NO SAY IN THAT PART, THAT'S A WRECK DISTRICT BOARD DECISION. 
          THERE ARE THREE TETON COUNTY BOARD MEMBERS ON THAT BOARD. 
          IF YOU JUST LOOK AT THE NEXT SECTION, THE E OR THE SALMON COLOR I SUPPOSE, REPRESENT DISTRICT PROGRAMS THAT YOU ALL APPROVE THIS LIST ALREADY IN FEBRUARY. 
          BUT RECOGNIZING LAST MONTH THAT YOU WANTED TO CONSIDER THE COST OF THE TURF REPLACEMENT, AND THEN CONSIDER THE MILL LEVY, WHAT WE'VE ATTEMPTED TO DO HERE IS TO TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WAS AUTHORIZED IN FY21, WHAT WAS APPROVED BY THIS BOARD IN FY22 WHICH IS THE SECOND COLUMN, AND THEN IF WE REVISED IT, WHICH IS THE THIRD [INAUDIBLE] THAT SAYS FY22 REVISED, AND I CAN TALK MORE SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THAT FOR JUST A MOMENT. 
          WHAT WE DID THERE IS WE TOOK OUT THE SORRY, MY LINES [OVERLAPPING]. 
          >> YOU TOOK OUT THE $300,000 OVERRUN THAT WE HAVE FOR ACTIVITIES. 
          >> YES, THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. 
          WE CHECK UP ACTIVITIES AND THE SRO. 
          THE FOURTH COLUMN IS THE BOARD. 
          THIS BOARD HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT NOT FUNDING THE TURF REPLACEMENT, 700,000 IS ALREADY SET ASIDE FOR THE TURF. 
          THE TURF BID IS 1.5 MILLION APPROXIMATELY. 
          IN THIS REQUEST, IF YOU WANTED TO TAKE OUT THE 600,000 SET ASIDE FOR THE TURF, THEN YOU CAN SEE AT THE BOTTOM WHICH MILL LEVY GIVEN THOSE DECISION POINTS. 
          IF YOU WANTED A 0.45 MILL, THEN IT WOULD BE NOTE REVISIONS PLUS NO TURF. 
          IF YOU WANTED THE TURF TO COME OUT OF THE WRECK BOARD, IT'S 0.75 MILL. 
          [01:20:01]
IF YOU WANTED THE FULL IF YOU WANTED TO DO WITH THE WRECK DISTRICT BOARD HAD REQUESTED AT 1 MILL THAT THERE'S THE LINE-HEIGHT. 
          >> OKAY, QUESTIONS FOR THIS. 
          ONE QUICK QUESTION, I HAVE TOO MUCH PAPERWORK. 
          SOMEWHERE I READ [LAUGHTER] THE NUMBERS FOR THE TURF AND IT WAS SOMETHING LIKE 600 WAS IN THE BANK, THEY NEED X AMOUNT AND THEN THERE WAS A THIRD AMOUNT THAT WAS GOING TO COME OUT OF OUR RESERVES. 
          BUT IF WE DIDN'T WANT MONEY TO COME OUT OF RESERVES, IF WE WENT TO 0.8. 
          SO, 0.8 WAS ANOTHER OPTION AND THE 0.8 WAS PAID FOR THE TURF COMPLETELY WITHOUT TAKING ANY MONEY OUT OF OUR RESERVE. 
          >> RIGHT. 
          >> OKAY. 
          >> CHAIR BEING BRIEF, I'M JUST CLARIFYING. 
          WE HAVE 700,000 SET ASIDE FOR THE TURF ALREADY. 
          WE HAD ADDED INTO THE FY22 WRECK DISTRICT REQUESTS 600,000 SO THAT EQUALS 1.3 MILLION. 
          MY THIRD GRADE MATH HOLDS OR SECOND GRADE MATH HOLDS, 1.3 MILLION. 
          ACTUAL COST OF THE TURF CAME IN AT 1,476,495. 
          WE HAVE SOME OPTIONS, WE CAN TAKE THAT DIFFERENCE ASSUMING THAT THE FIELD TURF BIT IS APPROVED, WHICH IS THE NEXT ITEM. 
          ASSUMING THAT'S APPROVED, WE WILL STILL HAVE A BALANCE OF A $150,000. 
          YOU COULD TAKE THAT OUT OF RESERVES, WE COULD TAKE IT OUT OF ASSUME THAT WE COULD INCREASE THE MILL TO 0.8 AND THAT IT WOULD ALL COME OUT OF THE WRECK DISTRICT, OR THE THIRD OPTION EVERY YEAR WE HAVE AN UNDER EXPEND THAT'S RETURNED TO THE WRECK DISTRICT BOARD, WE COULD TAKE IT OUT OF THAT AMOUNT AS WELL. 
          SO, THERE ARE THREE CHOICES AND THESE KIND OF GO HAND IN HAND. 
          >> [BACKGROUND] 
          >> TRUSTEE GABRIEL, THANK YOU. 
          I AM CURIOUS, REALLY A LOT OF THIS CONVERSATION IS COMING DOWN TO THE FIELD PLACEMENT AND I'M SURE IT IS HOW THE FIELDS ARE USED BECAUSE I KNOW THAT OBVIOUSLY WE USE THE WORD SCHOOL SPORTS, BUT THEY GET USED FOR OTHER ACTIVITIES IN OTHER ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE COMMUNITY. 
          DO WE HAVE AN IDEA OF HOW OFTEN THE SCHOOL IS USING THEM COMPARED TO COMMUNITY USE BECAUSE USING A MILL OR USED UP IN OUR MEALS, YOU KNOW, IT'S A LOT OF COMMUNITY [BACKGROUND]. 
          >> SHOULD MAKE FAIRLY NICE CHART. 
          THERE'S A PIE CHART SOMEWHERE THAT'S SHOWING YOU THAT THE ENTITY [BACKGROUND]. 
          >> IT WAS IN OUR MATERIALS. 
          >> YEAH, THERE'S A NICE PIE CHART. 
          [OVERLAPPING] IF I'M REMEMBERING CORRECTLY, UP TOP MY HEAD. 
          THIS ONE IS MOST GOOD A LITTLE BIT OF COMMUNITY. 
          THE OTHER TWO WAS ALMOST ALL COMMUNITY WITH A LITTLE BIT OF US. 
          >> I DID HEAR THAT RECENTLY, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE, 
          >> [OVERLAPPING] IT WAS LIKE 75 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          BUT SHE HAD A NICE PIE CHART, I REMEMBER SEEING THAT. 
          >> YEAH, IT'S MY DOCUMENTS AND YOUR THOUGH IT'S OFFERS. 
          >> YEAH, I DIDN'T SEE IT THIS AFTERNOON,. 
          >> GOOD WITH PIE CHARTS, I CAN READ THEM [LAUGHTER]. 
          >> SO, IT'S LIKE 75, 25 THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, THE OTHERS ARE 75, 25 COMMUNITY AND THAT'S TWO. 
          >> I THINK THE ARGUMENT WAS THEY'VE DEBATED THIS WAS, SCHOOL DISTRICT PUT UP THE LAND FOR THE TWO OVER THERE, BUT DIDN'T CONTRIBUTE ANY MONEY AND THE COMMUNITY BUILT DOWN THE INITIAL WITHOUT ANY FUNDS FROM THE SCHOOL, SO THAT WAS SORT OF [OVERLAPPING]. 
          >> NO, IT'S NOT [LAUGHTER]. 
          THEY HAD STARTED. JOE RYZEN, WHOEVER ELSE, HIS SOCCER FORUMS, WE'RE GOING TO RAISE THE MONEY FOR THOSE FIELDS. 
          [BACKGROUND] 
          [01:36:42]
          >> SEEING NONE, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. 
          [01:36:42]
          >> AYE. [OVERLAPPING] 
          [01:36:42]
          >> ALL THOSE OPPOSED? 
          >> AYE. 
          >> IT PASSES WITH ONE NOTE AT POINT EIGHT. [OVERLAPPING] 
          >> MR. CHAIR, CAN I OFFER A SUGGESTION AS WE'RE MOVING FORWARD ON THIS, BECAUSE THIS REALLY TROUBLES ME. 
          WE HAVE FIELDS OUT THERE THAT 75 PERCENT OF THE USAGE OF THOSE FIELDS IS SOCCER, LACROSSE, ACTIVITIES WHERE KIDS HAVE TO PAY IN TO PLAY. 
          >> YEAH. 
          >> THAT MONEY IS COLLECTED BY PARKS AND REC, AND THEN WE GET STUCK WITH THE MAINTENANCE ON IT. 
          I ALMOST FEEL LIKE AS WE'RE MOVING FORWARD, THOSE LEAGUES NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT SOMEBODY A LOT MORE SOPHISTICATED THAN ME CAN DO THIS. 
          ON A PER [NOISE] BASIS, THERE OUGHT TO BE A MAINTENANCE FEE THAT'S TAGGED ON TO THEM SO THAT EIGHT YEARS FROM NOW, WHENEVER IT IS, WE'VE GOT THAT POT OF MONEY SITTING THERE, WHICH WILL PROBABLY NOT BE ADEQUATE BECAUSE 10 YEARS FROM NOW, WHO KNOWS WHAT THE COST WILL BE, BUT THERE IS FUND THERE TO CONTINUE TO PAY FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THOSE FIELDS. 
          BECAUSE THAT SEEMS TO BE, AT LEAST IN MY MIND, IN TERMS OF FACILITIES, THE ONE MAJOR OUTLIER THAT COSTS US A TON OF MONEY. 
          >> I DON'T THINK ANY PARKS AND REC WOULD BE THAT AVERSE TO NOT MANAGING THOSE SYNTHETIC FIELDS. 
          THE REASON WE WERE USING THAT IS THEY'RE A LOT EASIER FOR SCHEDULING BECAUSE THEY HAVE A SCHEDULING SYSTEM. 
          BUT MAYBE IN OUR AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTY PARK AND REC, IS TAKE THOSE TWO FIELDS OUT OF THERE IN THAT AGREEMENT, AND WE JUST MANAGE THOSE TWO FIELDS. 
          IF YOU WANT TO USE THEM, YOU TALK TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. 
          WE CHARGE A FEE AND WE JUST MANAGE THOSE SEPARATE AND DISTINCT. 
          THE MONEY IS COMING DIRECTLY TO US, WE'RE CONTROLLING EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS ON THOSE FIELDS. 
          BECAUSE I KNOW, TRUST ME, SCARLET HAS EXPRESSED NOT JUST MONETARY ISSUES, JUST HOW PEOPLE WOULD USE THE FIELDS. 
          ONE YEAR, THEY PAINTED THE FIELDS [LAUGHTER] TOTALLY DIFFERENT LINES. 
          ONE OF THE LEAGUES JUST DECIDED TO REDO ALL LINES ON IT WITHOUT ASKING THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THAT MESSED THIS UP. 
          I WOULDN'T BE OPPOSED TO THAT. 
          THAT WE JUST TAKE THOSE TWO FIELDS AND JUST WE MANAGE THOSE AND IF THE COMMUNITY WANTS TO USE THEM, THEY WOULD COME AND SEE US AND WE WOULD COME UP WITH A SYSTEM FOR RESOLVING AND MAYBE REMOVE. 
          >> WE'VE ASKED THE COUNTY PARKS AND REC PEOPLE WHEN THEY COME TO PRESENT FOR HOW MUCH MONEY THEY'RE TAKING IN FOR OUR FIELDS, AND THEN NOBODY SEEMS TO KNOW. 
          >> ALL RIGHT. 
          >> IT'S REALLY TERRIFYING. 
          [LAUGHTER] 
          >> AT LEAST TAKE THESE TWO FIELDS OUT OF IT. 
          >> PARTLY WHAT IT DEPENDS ON I THINK IS HOW THE FIELDS ARE GOING TO BE LINED. 
          BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WHEN THEY HAD THAT BIG LACROSSE TOURNAMENT, PARKS AND REC HAD PEOPLE OUT THERE AND IT WAS OVER 20 HOURS FOR THEM TO LINE ALL THE FIELDS. 
          THEY ARE PUTTING MONEY IN SOME WAYS. 
          IF WE HAVE A LACROSSE TOURNAMENT AND THE LACROSSE LINES AREN'T OUT THERE, THEY HAVE PEOPLE GO OUT THERE, REDO THE LINES AND PUT EVERYTHING IN. 
          [01:40:01]
ON THEIR END, DEPENDING ON WHAT THE LINES ARE IN THE FIELDS, THERE IS SOME MONEY IN. 
          I FULLY AGREE THAT IF WE HAVE GROUPS USING THOSE FIELDS, THAT THEY'RE DOING IT THROUGH THE PARKS AND REC, THAT THERE SHOULD BE SOME AGREEMENT OR SO FOR FUNDS. 
          >> THERE'S AN AGREEMENT. 
          >> YEAH. [OVERLAPPING] BUT IN TERMS OF THE FUNDS AND HOW DO WE FIND OUT WHAT THOSE ARE ALLOCATED. 
          >> WELL, THERE'S A LOT TO WORK ON THAT. LET'S MOVE ON. 
          WE'RE ONTO, LET'S SEE, THIS CONSIDERATION OF CONTRACT WITH FIELDTURF FOR SYNTHETIC TURF REPLACEMENT. 
          >> WE'VE FIGURED OUT HOW TO PAY FOR IT. 
          [LAUGHTER] DO WE WANT TO BUY IT? 
          >> THIS IS WHERE THE PIE-CHART COMES IN. 
          >> RIGHT, THE PIE-CHART. 
          GOOD EVENING MR. CHAIR OF TRUSTEES, DIANA HARDER, FACILITIES DEPARTMENT. 
          YES, I HAVE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION TONIGHT IS A CONTRACT WITH FIELDTURF USA, INC TO REPLACE THE SYNTHETIC FIELDS, AND THAT INCLUDES BOTH THE TWO FIELDS OVER AT THE HIGH SCHOOL AND THE FIELD AT MCINTOSH STADIUM. 
          AS DESCRIBED IN THE STAFF REPORT, THE COMMITTEE THAT WAS FORMED TO MAKE THIS SELECTION UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS AWARDING THE CONTRACT TO FIELDTURF, BASED ON THEIR EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE AND INSTALLING SYNTHETIC FIELDS IN WYOMING AND OUR CLIMATE SPECIFICALLY, AND THE COMPETITIVENESS OF THEIR BID. 
          I HAVE TONIGHT TO HELP ME WITH TECHNICAL QUESTIONS, MR. JED EASTERBROOK FROM FIELDTURF IS HERE. 
          AS I MENTIONED, IF YOU HAVE ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SYSTEM SPECIFICATION WE'RE RECOMMENDING OR THE COMMITTEE IS RECOMMENDING, HE'S HAPPY TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS. 
          ALSO, THE COMMITTEE WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT TO THE BOARD THAT WE ARE BOTH REPLACING THE TURF AT MCINTOSH STADIUM, AND ALSO PLANNING ON DOING EXTENSIVE REPAIRS TO THE RUNNING TRACK THIS SUMMER. 
          I WILL BRING A CONTRACT FOR THE TRACK PORTION, THE TRACK REPAIR PORTION OF THE PROJECT AT YOUR JUNE MEETING. 
          JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THAT. 
          THAT LEADS TO THE NEXT POINT THAT IS IN ORDER TO MEET OUR VERY AGGRESSIVE SCHEDULE AND GET BOTH OF THESE PROJECTS DONE IN TIME FOR FALL SPORTS. 
          IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO START THE TURF REPLACEMENT ON JUNE 1ST, WHICH FIELDTURF IS PREPARED TO DO. 
          WITH THAT, I STAND FOR QUESTIONS. 
          >> QUESTIONS FOR DIANA. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE TRACK? 
          >> THE TRACK. THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS GOING ON. 
          FIRST, THESE TREE ROOTS FROM THESE COTTONWOODS ALONG THE IRRIGATION DITCH, THEY'RE UNDERMINING THE TRACK AND THEY'RE TELESCOPING THROUGH, SO IT'S STARTING TO CREATE BUBBLES IN THE TRACK, SO IN THE NORTH SECTION WE HAVE TO REMOVE THE ENTIRE STRUCTURE AND SUB BASE. 
          REMOVE THOSE ROOTS, AND THEN REBUILD IT. 
          THE SECOND PART OF IT IS WE'RE GOING TO RESURFACE THE TRACK AND THAT'S A TYPICAL MAINTENANCE. 
          THAT WEAR LAYER ON THE TOP WEARS OUT OVER TIME, SO WE'RE GOING TO REMOVE IT AND REPLACE IT. 
          >> ARE YOU GOING TO PUT UP SOME BARRICADE UNDERGROUND SO THE ROOTS DON'T KEEP COMING OVER? 
          >> ABSOLUTELY, MR. CHAIR. THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. 
          WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO, AND WE'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS, IS WE ARE GOING TO FIRST CUT THE ROOTS. 
          WE'RE GOING TO CREATE A LITTLE DITCH AND CUT THEM. 
          THEN WE'RE ACTUALLY PROPOSING TO TAKE MOST OF THOSE COTTONWOODS DOWN. 
          >> THEY'RE ON OUR PROPERTY. 
          >> THEY'RE ON OUR PROPERTY. 
          >> [OVERLAPPING] I THOUGHT THEY WERE ON SOMEONE ELSE'S. 
          >> YEAH. THAT'S GOING TO BE PART OF THE COST TO DO THAT PROJECT. 
          BECAUSE FIELDTURF BROUGHT THEIR TRACK PEOPLE OUT AND THEY SAID THERE'S NO USE FOR PREPARING IT, UNLESS YOU TAKE CARE OF THAT PROBLEM. 
          >> EXCELLENT. 
          >> ARE THERE QUESTIONS FOR DIANA. DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION? 
          >> YEAH. DIANA, DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT TAKES TO GROW COTTONWOOD TREE IN TETON COUNTY, WYOMING? [LAUGHTER] ABOUT 200 YEARS. 
          [LAUGHTER] WE JUST SAY WE'VE GOT TO MOVE THEM. 
          [LAUGHTER] I LIKE TREES. 
          >> THANK YOU FOR TRUSTING ME. 
          I FEEL LIKE I'M GETTING A BAD REPUTATION WITH THE TREES. 
          [LAUGHTER] 
          >> THE ONES THAT FELL, I KNEW I HAD TO TAKE THOSE DOWN. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? 
          >> I KNOW. IT'S TOUGH. 
          >> THE LORAX IS GOING TO COME AFTER YOU. 
          [LAUGHTER] 
          >> IT'S THE CARBON SINK WE NEED SO WE CAN CONTINUE TO USE COAL. 
          [LAUGHTER] 
          >> WE WILL GO TO PUBLIC COMMENTS. 
          ANY PUBLIC COMMENT HERE IN THE ROOM? ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON WEBEX? PLEASE RAISE YOUR VIRTUAL HAND. 
          [01:45:05]
ROBYN. GO AHEAD. 
          >> HI, THIS IS ROBYN LEVINE MONSON. 
          THANKS FOR TAKING MY COMMENTS. 
          I'M HERE AS A LACROSSE PARENTS AND I HAVE JUST A COUPLE OF COMMENTS TO MAKE IT REALLY BRIEF. 
          GIVEN YOUR DISCUSSION, I HAVE A FEW DATA POINTS TO SHARE. 
          BUT TO FOCUS ON WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY WITH RESPECT TO THE CONTRACT THAT YOU'RE CONSIDERING, I SEE IN THE BID THAT THERE ARE LINE ITEMS FOR INLAID FOOTBALL MARKINGS AND INLAID SOCCER MARKINGS, BUT NO LINE ITEMS FOR INLAID LACROSSE MARKINGS. 
          [NOISE] I THINK TRUSTEE BRUMSTED BROUGHT UP THAT IT TAKES QUITE AN EFFORT TO REALIGN THE FIELDS FOR LACROSSE, AND I WOULD JUST ASK YOU TO CONSIDER ADDING LACROSSE MARKINGS TO THE FIELDS. 
          I KNOW THAT THERE'S SOME CONCERN ABOUT A LOT OF LINES AND EVERYTHING ELSE, BUT THERE'S LOTS OF PRECEDENTS AROUND FOR FIELDS THAT ARE MARKED FOR ALL THE SPORTS. 
          WE CAN BRING YOU ALL KINDS OF EXAMPLES IF YOU WANT TO SEE THEM FOR HOW THAT CAN HAPPEN, BUT IT WOULD MAKE IT VERY NICE FOR ALL THE SPORTS. 
          ALONG WITH THAT, I JUST WOULD BEG YOU TO RECONSIDER WHEN ALLOCATING FIELD USAGE, TO CONSIDER LACROSSE. 
          [NOISE] BECAUSE LACROSSE DOESN'T GET TO USE THE SYNTHETIC FIELDS VERY OFTEN, AND ESPECIALLY IN THE EARLY SEASON IN THE SPRING WHEN THE GRASS FIELDS ARE TOO WET TO USE BECAUSE THE FIELDS WILL BE DAMAGED, IT REALLY DISADVANTAGES LACROSSE BECAUSE THAT'S THEIR PRIMARY SEASON. 
          DATA POINTS. 
          THERE ARE PAYMENTS MADE BY THE CLUBS TO PARKS AND REC FOR USES OF THE FIELDS. 
          FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN WE HAVE A TOURNAMENT AS BIG AS THE TOURNAMENT WE JUST HAD, [NOISE] IT'S FIVE TO $6,000 THAT GETS PAID TO PARKS AND REC FOR FOR MAINTENANCE FOR THE FIELDS FOR THE TOURNAMENT, $100 PER FIELD FOR LINING THE FIELDS BECAUSE THEY NEED TO BE SPECIALLY LINED. 
          EVERY TIME WE USE THE SYNTHETIC FIELDS, I BELIEVE THE PAYMENT'S SOMEWHERE AROUND 13 BUCKS AN HOUR, SO THOSE ARE THOSE ARE WILD NUMBERS. 
          I'M NOT ON THE LACROSSE BOARD, SO YOU COULD ASK SOMEONE WITH MORE KNOWLEDGE THAN I IF YOU REALLY WANT TO NAIL THAT DOWN. 
          BUT SUFFICE TO SAY THAT ORGANIZATIONS DO PAY. 
          MAYBE THEY NEED TO PAY MORE OR WHATEVER THE APPROPRIATE NUMBER IS, BUT I WOULD JUST ENCOURAGE YOU TO PLEASE CONSIDER LACROSSE. 
          THEY SAY LACROSSE IS THE FASTEST GAME ON TV. 
          [LAUGHTER] IT'S VERY FUN TO WATCH AND THE LACROSSE CLUB LOCALLY IS GROWING WILDLY AND IT IS THE FASTEST GROWING SPORT IN THE US IN THE LAST DECADE. 
          I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO SEE OVER THE 10 YEAR LIFESPAN OF THESE NEW FIELDS YOU'RE PUTTING IN PLACE, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE LACROSSE CONTINUE TO GROW AND PLEASE CONSIDER THIS PART OF THE COMMUNITY. 
          IF YOU HAVE NOTHING TO DO ON SATURDAY AT MIDDAY, OUR HIGH SCHOOL VARSITY TEAM IS HOSTING A QUARTER FINAL PLAY OFF FOR THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP FOR THE STATE OF IDAHO WHICH IS THE CHAMPIONSHIP FOR THE LEAGUE WEEK PLAY-IN AND WE'RE HOSTING THE [INAUDIBLE] [NOISE] [INAUDIBLE] 
          [01:56:23]
          >> ENTERTAIN A MOTION FROM SOMEONE. 
          [01:56:23]
          >> MR. CHAIR, A MOVE TO APPROVE THE CONTRACT WITH FIELD TURF NOT TO EXCEED $1,476,495 WITH MINOR MODIFICATIONS AS DEEMED NECESSARY BY LEGAL COUNCIL. 
          >> IS THERE A SECOND? 
          >> IT'S OKAY. I'LL SECOND. 
          >> THE MOVE BY TRUSTEE TESKE AND SECOND BY TRUSTEE CARLIN WHO APPROVED THE CONTRACT WITH FIELD TURF. 
          DISCUSSION? SAYING NONE, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. 
          >> AYE. 
          >> ALL THOSE AGAINST? 
          >> AYE. 
          >> AYE. 
          >> WE MOVE ON. 
          >> I VOTED FOR IT, KEITH. 
          >> OKAY, I THOUGHT IT WAS YOU, [INAUDIBLE]. 
          >> YEAH. 
          >> LET'S SEE. CONSIDERATION OF THE FINAL DESIGN OF THE SKATEPARK EXPANSION. 
          WE GET TO BE IN IT AGAIN, EXCELLENT. 
          >> [LAUGHTER] [INAUDIBLE]. 
          >> I JUST WANTED ALL THE PICTURES. 
          WHOEVER DID THAT, THAT WAS REALLY NEAT. 
          [OVERLAPPING] [BACKGROUND] 
          >> GOOD EVENING, MR CHAIR, TRUSTEES. 
          YES, I'M HERE TONIGHT, AND I HAVE SOME PEOPLE ASSISTING ME WITH THIS AND THAT'S HEIDE MCBRIDE, SHE'S REPRESENTING THE SKATEPARK ORGANIZATION; THEN ONLINE IS ANDY ERSKINE, FROM PARKS AND REC. 
          HE'S WORKING WITH HEIDE MCBRIDE AND HER TEAM WITH THE DESIGN AND THE IMPLEMENTATION. 
          AS I STATED IN THE STAFF REPORT, THE BOARD IN 2019 HEARD THIS ITEM AND SAW A PROPOSED DESIGN. 
          THEY REQUESTED THE SKATEPARK GROUP BRING BACK THE DESIGN WHEN IT WAS FINALIZED BEFORE PROCEEDING TO CONSTRUCTION. 
          WE ARE HERE, AND I'M GOING TO HAND IT OVER TO HEIDE. 
          SHE'S GOING TO BRIEFLY TALK ABOUT THE PROJECT IN GENERAL, AND THEN MR. ERSKINE IS GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE DESIGN. 
          >> NICE TO SEE YOU ALL, THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME BACK. 
          I'D LIKE TO REWIND THAT TO THE WINTER OF 2021. 
          I FIRST CAME TO YOU WITH THE SITE PLAN AND DESIGN FOR APPROXIMATELY 7,000 SQUARE FEET. 
          SHORTLY AFTER THAT, WE HAD, BEING MYSELF, THE DESIGN TEAM, PARKS AND REC, AND OUR DONOR, SCOTT BLUM MET TO DISCUSS THE SITE PLAN. 
          THE ONE REQUEST FROM SCOTT BLUM WAS IF WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS FINAL PHASE, LET'S UTILIZE AS MUCH AS WE CAN, AND JUST CREATE AS MUCH AIDS FOR THESE KIDS. 
          TWO DAYS LATER, THE PANDEMIC HIT [LAUGHTER] AND SO, EVERYTHING PAUSED. 
          BUT IN THE MEANTIME, OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEAR, I DID HAVE THE DESIGN TEAM WORK ON THIS ADDED SPACE THAT WE'RE NOW REQUESTING, WHICH BASICALLY DOUBLED WHAT WE ORIGINALLY ASKED FOR. 
          I'VE BEEN WORKING CLOSELY WITH ANDY HERE TO SEE WHAT OUR PERIMETERS ARE AND HOW MUCH WE CAN USE. 
          RECENTLY, IT WAS PROBABLY TWO MONTHS AGO, SCOTT REACHED OUT TO US CHECKING IN HOW THINGS WERE GOING AND SAID HE WAS A 100 PERCENT IN FOR EVERYTHING, TO PAY FOR THE WHOLE COST OF THE PROJECT. 
          >> BOY, THAT'S AMAZING. 
          >> IT IS AMAZING. HE REALLY BELIEVES IN THIS PLACE, AND HE HAD A SON THAT SKATED, AND HE SEES THE VALUE OF IT, SO HERE WE ARE. 
          I'M GOING TO LET ANDY DEAL WITH THE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE EXPANSION. 
          >> MR. ERSKINE, WOULD YOU WANT TO TELL US ANYTHING? 
          >> SURE, CHAIR GINGERY, TRUSTEES, THANKS FOR HAVING ME, ANDY ERSKINE, PARKS MANAGER, PARKS AND REC. [NOISE] EXCUSE ME. 
          [02:00:01]
WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH HEIDE ON THIS OBVIOUSLY LAST YEAR WITH COVID AND EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED, PUT A PAUSE ON IT. 
          LIKE SHE SAID, SHE BROUGHT BACK ACTUALLY TWO OR THREE DESIGNS BETWEEN NOW AND THEN AND WE HAVE WALKED THE SITE. 
          WE'VE LOOKED AT THE MAINTENANCE IMPACTS. 
          OBVIOUSLY, WE AS PARKS AND REC RECOGNIZE THAT THIS IS A PRETTY SPECIAL PLACE FOR THE KIDS TO GET TOGETHER. 
          THE EXPANSION OF THE PARK ISN'T NECESSARILY GOING TO BRING OUT NEW KIDS. 
          IT WILL IN THE FUTURE AS IT GROWS BUT RIGHT NOW, THE LIMITED SPACE, IT'S A LOT ABOUT SAFETY AND CRAMMING THE NUMBER OF USERS IN A SMALL SPACE. 
          IF WE CAN EXPAND THAT, PARKS AND REC THINKS IT'S A GOOD THING FOR SAFETY. 
          WE THINK IT'S A GREAT PLACE FOR THE COMMUNITY TO GATHER. 
          BASED ON THE DESIGN, OUR MAINTENANCE IMPACTS ARE NOT GOING TO BE AFFECTED TREMENDOUSLY. 
          THERE WILL BE A LITTLE BIT OF EFFECT. 
          IT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY CLOSE TO A WASH BECAUSE WE'RE TAKING AWAY SOME TURF AND SOME IRRIGATION. 
          WE HAVE RECOMMENDED THAT OBVIOUSLY, THEY REPLACE ANY TREES THAT COME OUT. 
          BASED ON THEIR DESIGN THAT YOU SEE IN FRONT OF YOU, WE HAVE ASKED FOR AT LEAST FOUR FEET MINIMUM DISTANCE BETWEEN ANY SORT OF SOLID FEATURES. 
          YOU SEE HOW CLOSE IT APPEARS TO COME TO THE BACKS OF THE CAL FIELDS? WE'VE ASKED FOR ENOUGH ROOM THERE TO MAKE SURE WE CAN MAINTAIN IT, THAT TURF AREA. 
          WE'VE ASKED FOR ENOUGH SPACE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE FEEL COMFORTABLE AND HAVE A SAFE BUFFER BETWEEN THOSE. 
          [NOISE] EXCUSE ME. 
          WE FEEL PRETTY COMFORTABLE WITH THE DESIGN. 
          THERE AREN'T ANY SETBACK REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PROPERTIES TO THE EAST THERE, AND WE ARE SUPPORTIVE OF THE PROJECT. 
          WE'RE GOING TO DO THE PAPERWORK AND THE BACKGROUND WITH THE TOWN FOR THE SKATE GROUP, WHICH WE BELIEVE WILL BE A DEVELOP AN OPTION WITH A GRADING PLAN, GRADING PERMIT. 
          IN MY MIND, I THINK IF WE'RE AGGRESSIVE, THAT'S AT LEAST A 90-DAY PROCESS, SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TIME WINDOWS HERE AS WELL. 
          BUT WE'RE OBVIOUSLY SUPPORTIVE OF THE PROJECT. 
          WE BELIEVE IN THE SPACE, AND I'M IN AGREEMENT WITH HEIDE AND SCOTT IF WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS ONE LAST TIME, LET'S GET THE KIDS AS MUCH SPACE AS POSSIBLE. 
          THAT'S SORT OF WHERE I AM WITH THAT. 
          >> ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. ERSKINE? 
          >> MR. CHAIR. 
          >> GO AHEAD, TRUSTEE MEAD. 
          >> I JUST WONDER, DIANA. 
          I GUESS THIS IS FOR DIANA. 
          IT LOOKED TO ME FROM HER REPORT AS WE DON'T HAVE THE PERMISSION FROM THE STATE LANDS DEPARTMENT TO DO THIS, AND IT'S THEIR LAND. 
          WHAT'S THE ANTICIPATED TIMELINE IN GOING BEFORE THEM TO GET PERMISSION ON THAT? 
          >> I'M THINKING MR. CHAIR, TRUSTEE MEAD, I DO NOT HAVE A TIMELINE, BUT I WILL SAY THAT I'VE SPOKEN WITH THEM, AND THERE IS AN APPLICATION, WHICH WE HAVE FILLED OUT AND SUBMITTED, SO THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROJECT, AND THEY'RE IN THE PROCESS OF SUBMISSION AND REVIEW OF THAT. 
          >> THEN WHO WOULD PAY THE LEASE BREAK TO THE STATE LAND DEPARTMENT FOR THAT PORTION OF THE PROJECT? 
          >> THANK YOU, THAT'S AN EXCELLENT QUESTION THAT I DO NOT HAVE AN ANSWER FOR THIS MORNING. 
          I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED THAT. 
          >> OKAY [BACKGROUND]. 
          WELL, IN MY OPINION, IT SHOULD NOT BE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. 
          MY SON IS A BIG ROLLERBLADER. 
          HE LOVES THIS PLACE, AND I UNDERSTAND IT'S NECESSARY, BUT THIS IS NOT A SCHOOL DISTRICT PLAYGROUND OR SKATEPARK. 
          THE SKATE PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW THAT IT WILL BE UP TO THEM TO PAY THE LEASE AMOUNTS FOR THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY. 
          I THINK THE LEASE WILL BE IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT'S NAME BECAUSE WE LEASE ALL OF THAT PROPERTY. 
          BUT IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE IT'S ONLY FAIR THAT THEY PAID THAT LEASE. 
          >> TRUSTEE MEAD, I MIGHT BE WRONG, I DON'T THINK WE PAY A LEASE ON ANY OF THE RECREATIONAL ASPECTS. 
          >> REALLY? 
          >> I'M NOT SURE WE DO. I KNOW WHEN WE HAD THE TOWN MOVE THAT SEWER LINE, THE TOWN HAS TO PAY FOR THAT SEWER LINE, BUT MAYBE IT DIDN'T. 
          IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S A LOT OF QUESTIONS STILL ON THIS, BUT I THINK ALL THEY WERE ASKING US TONIGHT WAS, "ARE WE OKAY WITH THE DESIGN?" BUT I THINK TRUSTEE MEAD RAISES SOME GOOD POINTS THAT WE NEED TO 
          [02:05:01]
DO MORE WITH THE STATE BECAUSE IT'S NOT OUR LAND, IT'S THE STATE'S LAND, AND WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT IF THE STATE'S OKAY WITH THIS. 
          I THINK TRUSTEE MEAD HAS AN EXCELLENT POINT TO MAKE SURE IN THE CASE THE STATE TURNS AROUND AND SAYS, "THAT'S NOT SCHOOL-RELATED, SCHOOL DISTRICT YOU HAVE TO PAY ALL THIS," THAT WE DON'T END UP HAVING TO PAY OFF THOSE. 
          I THINK MAYBE WE'RE OKAY TONIGHT APPROVING THE DESIGN, BUT I THINK THERE'S A LOT MORE STEPS TO GO AFTER THOSE. 
          IT SOUNDS LIKE ANDY WAS TAKING THIS TO THE TOWN, WHICH GOT ME A LITTLE CONFUSED BECAUSE NORMALLY WE DON'T ASK THE TOWN FOR PERMITS ON STATE LANDS, SO THAT WAS THE OTHER PART THAT WAS CONFUSING ME. 
          >> THE OTHER THING IS, WE DISCUSSED THIS ORIGINALLY WAS THAT THERE ARE SOMEWHAT WHAT-IF'S HERE. 
          ONE OF THEM IS WHAT IF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT NEEDS THAT LAND FOR SCHOOL PURPOSES AND THE STATE OF WYOMING IS WILLING TO HAVE US USE IT FOR A BUILDING. 
          IT JUST SEEMS LIKE HEIDE, ANDY, AND MR. BLUM SHOULD KNOW THAT IT MIGHT HAVE TO MOVE BECAUSE WE CAN'T PROMISE THAT WE AREN'T GOING TO NEED THAT LAND, ESPECIALLY GIVEN OUR DISCUSSIONS ABOUT HOUSING. 
          I'VE BEEN A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE ABOUT THAT SINCE, AS YOU SAY, AND AS I SAY, IT'S STATE OF LAMONT LAND THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE USED FOR SCHOOL DISTRICT PURPOSES AND YOU JUST WONDER IF WE WILL NEED THAT IN THE FUTURE FOR SCHOOL BUILDINGS, OR HOUSING FOR TEACHERS, OR SOME OTHER PURPOSE, AND I JUST DON'T WANT ALL OF THESE PEOPLE TO GO INTO THIS THINKING THAT THIS IS THE END OF IT. 
          THERE WILL BE A SKATE PARK THERE FOREVER. 
          >> ARE THERE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? 
          >> I HAVE A COMMENT. 
          >> TRUSTEE [INAUDIBLE]. 
          >> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. MAYBE THIS IS AN INAPPROPRIATE PLACE TO BRING IT UP, BUT COULD YOU REMIND YOUR USERS? REMEMBER, WHEN WE STARTED THIS DISCUSSION, THERE WAS A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE RULES FOR THE SKATE PARK AND HOW WE WANTED KIDS TO MAKE SURE THEY UNDERSTOOD THEM? SO LAST WEEK, I BELIEVE, UNFORTUNATELY, THE POLICE ARRIVED TOO LATE. 
          JUST ANYTHING BUT WE HAVE KIDS ACTUALLY DRIVING OFF THE SIDEWALK ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE SKATE PARK, AND THAT'S STUFFING THE PARKING LOT. 
          SO IF YOU COULD REMIND THEM THAT WE FEEL REALLY STRONGLY ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT THEY UPHOLD THE RULES OF VANDALIZATION OF OUR PROPERTY. 
          >> ABSOLUTELY. 
          >> TRUSTEE ZUNG, DID YOU HAVE A COMMENT? 
          >> I JUST HAD A QUESTION IF THERE WAS ANY LIABILITY CONCERNS WITH EXPANDING THE SKATE PARK? YOU MENTIONED A BUFFER AND YOU'RE LEAVING FOUR FEET BETWEEN THE HARDSCAPE AND FENCES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT FALLS UNDER DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR SKATE PARKS OR? IT SEEMS CLOSE. I DON'T KNOW. 
          >> [OVERLAPPING] YOUR QUESTION FROM MR. ERSKINE. 
          MR. ERSKINE, YOU GUYS DO THIS AT PARKS AND REC, IS IT SAFE THE WAY IT'S BEEN DESIGNED? 
          >> WE ASSUME THAT IT IS. 
          >> WE FEEL THAT IT IS KEY, TRUSTEE [INAUDIBLE]. 
          I ORIGINALLY REQUESTED A LITTLE MORE SPACE. 
          WE ACTUALLY REQUESTED 10-12 FEET BUFFER IN ORDER TO GET VEHICLES IF WE EVER HAD TO WORK ON THE LIGHTING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. 
          IN LIEU OF THAT, WE'VE ASKED THEM TO DO SOME REINFORCED CONCRETE AROUND THE EDGES. 
          IF WE EVER HAVE TO DRIVE ON IT, WE CAN. 
          WITH RESPECT TO THE SAFETY PIECE, I FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THE BUFFER. 
          I HAVE NOT PERSONALLY EXPLORED ANY SKATE PARK DESIGN STANDARDS OR INDUSTRY STANDARDS WITH RELATIONSHIP TO HOW FAR YOU SHOULD HAVE FROM THE EDGE OF YOUR CONCRETE. 
          I THINK THE ONE THING TO KEEP IN MIND IS THE FIRST 10 FEET OF THIS IS ALL JUST FLAT CONCRETE. 
          THERE ARE NO FEATURES ON IT, OR AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING IS FOR IT TO JUST BE FLAT CONCRETE, SO IT'S REALLY MORE, IN MY MIND, WOULD BE USED FOR YOUNGER SKATERS JUST TO LEARN HOW TO SKATE OR JUST TO BE EVEN BE MORE OF A GATHERING AREA AS OPPOSED TO ANY FEATURES IN THOSE AREAS. 
          THAT WAS ONE THING WE DID DISCUSS IS MAKING SURE THAT 10-FOOT OF REINFORCED CONCRETE THAT WE NEED TO POSSIBLY DRIVE ON 
          [02:10:01]
IN THE FUTURE WOULD BE JUST FLAT WITH NO FEATURES AND THAT, IN MY MIND, MADE ME MORE COMFORTABLE WITH THE FOUR FEET DISTANCE. 
          >> THAT HELP YOU, TRUSTEE ZUNG? 
          >> UH-HUH. 
          >> DIANA, JUST A QUESTION, MAYBE IT'S FOR HEIDE TOO. 
          I'M WONDERING IF TONIGHT WE CAN SAY, YEAH, THE DESIGN LOOKS FINE, WE LIKE HOW IT'S BEEN DESIGNED, BUT WE'RE NOT GIVING FINAL APPROVAL TO ACTUALLY BUILD THIS THING THAT WE STILL NEED A LOT OF QUESTIONS ANSWERED AND PARTICULARLY A LOT OF THE QUESTIONS THAT TRUSTEE MEAD BROUGHT UP, OR WE COULD CONTINUE THE ITEM TO NEXT MONTH. 
          HEIDE, WHAT'S YOUR NEXT STEP? WHAT DO YOU NEED FROM US TO KEEP MOVING FORWARD? 
          >> WELL, FIRST OF ALL, TO ANSWER THE ONE QUESTION ABOUT, I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THAT I'VE HAD A COUPLE OF CONVERSATIONS WITH SCOTT LANG TO MAKE SURE HE UNDERSTANDS THAT ALL THE MONEY THAT HE WANTS TO INVEST IN THIS COULD ALL BE TAKEN AWAY AT SOME POINT. 
          >> SURE. 
          >> HE IS IN COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF THAT. 
          THAT WAS MY BIGGEST INTERNAL WITH HIM. 
          BASICALLY, WHERE WE'RE KIND OF STUCK RIGHT NOW IS WE NEED TO GET THIS APPROVAL TO TAKE IT TO THE NEXT STEP TO GET A CONTRACTOR TO COME IN AND DO A PROJECT AND THEN BRINGING SUBS ONBOARD TO DO PARTS OF THE PROJECT, THE CONCRETE THERE WERE, ETC. 
          SO WE'RE KIND OF STUCK AS FAR AS MOVING FORWARD WITH THE PROJECT UNTIL WE GET THE AGREEMENT FROM THE STATE AND FROM YOU ALL. 
          BASICALLY, THAT'S IT. 
          WE JUST NEED THE APPROVAL TO TAKE IT TO THAT NEXT LEVEL. 
          I MEAN, BASICALLY, EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE RIGHT HERE, IT'S ABOUT AS FAR AS WE CAN TAKE IT BECAUSE I DON'T REALLY WANT TO TURN IT OVER TO CONTRACTORS WHICH WILL COST A LOT OF MONEY FOR THEM TO SAY, WELL, THIS IS WHAT WE NEED TO GET TO REALLY GET THE DESIGN DOWN AND EVERYTHING BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY YET AND SCOTT WILL PAY FOR IT ONCE EVERYTHING IS APPROVED. 
          >> BOARD, WHAT I WAS THINKING MAYBE THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION IS CONTINUE THIS TO NEXT MONTH. 
          SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S STILL A LOT OF OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS AND TRY TO GET SOME OF THOSE ANSWERED AND BRING IT BACK NEXT MONTH BECAUSE HEIDE HAS PUT A LOT OF WORK INTO IT. 
          BUT I DON'T WANT TO APPROVE IT TONIGHT, THEN IT'S LIKE HALFWAY APPROVAL. YOU GOT TO COME BACK. 
          IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE ARE SOME QUESTIONS TO BE HAMMERED OUT AND MAYBE WE COULD SEE AGAIN IN JUNE. 
          DOES THE BOARD THINK THAT'S A GOOD BOARD DIRECTION? KATE, ARE YOU OKAY WITH THAT? 
          >> YEAH. I DON'T MIND APPROVING THE DESIGN, BUT WE KNOW THAT IF THE STATE SAYS NO OR IF THE STATE REQUIRES MORE INFORMATION, THAT HEIDE CAN'T REALLY GO TO A CONTRACTOR ANYWAY BECAUSE WE DON'T REALLY HAVE THE LAND OR APPROVAL BUT I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT SKATE PARK DESIGN SO I'M SURE [LAUGHTER] IT'S GREAT. 
          I WOULDN'T MIND APPROVING THAT, BUT, YEAH, IT'S JUST GETTING THE STATE ON BOARD I SUPPOSE. 
          >> OR IF SOMEONE WANTS TO MAKE A MOTION TO CONTINUE THIS TO JUNE, I WOULD ENTERTAIN THAT MOTION. 
          >> MR. CHAIR, I WOULD MOVE THAT WE CONTINUE THE DISCUSSION ON THE SKATE PARK EXPANSION TO JUNE. 
          >> IS THERE A SECOND? 
          >> SECOND. 
          >> SO THE MOVE HAS BEEN SECONDED TO CONTINUE THE DESIGN OF THE SKATE PARK EXPANSION UNTIL THE JUNE MEETING AND WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE EXTENSION OF THE LEASE AGREEMENT FOR 1514 MARTIN LANE. 
          >> TRUSTEES, BEFORE YOU IS A CONTINUATION OF THAT LEASE AGREEMENT. 
          IT'S CURRENTLY ON A THREE-YEAR LEASE THAT EXPIRES JUNE 30TH OF 2021. 
          CHARLOTTE REYNOLDS AND SARA VAN GENDEREN HAVE MET EXTENSIVELY WITH THE CURRENT TENANT TO DISCUSS THE TERMS OF THIS LEASE EXTENSION, AND WHAT WE PROPOSE IS AN INCREASE TO $3,500 PER MONTH PLUS AN ANNUAL STANDARD CONSUMER PRICE INDEX INCREASE FOR EACH OF THE THREE YEARS OF THE LEASE AGREEMENT. 
          IT ALSO REQUIRES THE CURRENT TENANT TO ACQUIRE IN WRITING FROM 
          [02:15:11]
THE BOARD PERMISSION TO SUBLEASE SO THE BOARD HAS SOME OPTIONS AND THEY'RE LISTED THERE ON THE STAFF REPORT AND I KNOW YOU'VE READ THROUGH THAT SO ABSENT YOUR QUESTION OR I'LL STAND FOR QUESTIONS AT THIS POINT OR ANY OF THE STAFF CAN RESPOND AS WELL. 
          >> BERNETTE CHAPMAN, FELT LIKE I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND, HAS THE TENANT AGREED TO THE 3,500? 
          >> THE TENANT HAS, YES. 
          >> OKAY. SO THERE'S AGREEMENT AS TO THE TERMS OF THIS EXTENSION? 
          >> YES. 
          >> BOARD, ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? TRUSTEE TESKE. 
          >> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. I FEEL REALLY STRONGLY AND, KATE, YOU REMEMBER THIS WAY BACK WHEN IS, I THINK WE NEED TO BE REALLY CAREFUL WITH THIS WHOLE SUBLEASE PART OF IT. 
          WE WENT THROUGH A PHASE WHERE THERE WERE CONTRACTORS. 
          [02:27:36]
          >> [INAUDIBLE] 
          [02:28:33]
          >> THE 2022-23 SCHOOL CALENDAR STARTING ON SEPTEMBER 6TH, 2022 AFTER LABOR DAY AS PRESENTED. 
          >> IS THERE A SECOND? 
          >> I'LL SECOND. 
          >> SECOND. 
          >> [OVERLAPPING] TO APPROVE THE 2022-2023 SCHOOL CALENDAR YEAR TO START ON SEPTEMBER 6TH, 2022. 
          ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? SAY NONE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. 
          >> AYE. 
          >> AYE. 
          >> ALL THOSE OPPOSED. 
          >> I THINK I AM. 
          >> YOU'RE OPPOSED? 
          >> I THINK SO. 
          >> ONE TO OPPOSE. 
          >> I THINK SO. 
          >> I THINK SO [LAUGHTER] 
          >> ALL RIGHT. 
          >> I LIKE THE 3, 4, 5. 
          >> I GOT THAT. PREPARE YOUR SPEECH FOR NEXT YEAR. 
          WE'RE ON TO THE CONSENT AGENDA. 
          WE HAVE APPROVAL OF STAFF CONSIDERATIONS AND REPORTS, WE HAVE APPROVAL OF MINUTES FROM APRIL 21ST, APPROVAL OF MINUTES FROM APRIL 28TH, APPROVAL OF REQUESTS FOR EXECUTIVE SESSION FOR OUR NEXT MEETING, APPROVAL OF THE APRIL 21 CHECK REGISTER, APPROVAL OF THE BUS ROUTES FOR THE NEXT YEAR, APPROVAL OF AROUND THE BEND TOOLS PURCHASE ORDER, AND APPROVAL OF THE [INAUDIBLE] MEADOWS GROUND LEASE CONTRACTS. 
          DID ANYONE WISH TO REMOVE ANYTHING FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA? SEEING NONE. WOULD SOMEONE LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED? 
          >> SOLO. 
          >> IS THERE A SECOND? 
          >> SECOND. 
          >> SO WE MOVE THE SECONDED TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA. ANY DISCUSSION? 
          [F. Consent Agenda]
          >> I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THE SCHOOL CALENDAR INTO THE CONSENT. 
          [LAUGHTER] 
          >> I WAS SURPRISED THE BUS ROUTE WAS THERE, I WAS GOING TO REALLY BUG THE DIRECTOR OF THE TRANSPORTATION. 
          >> BEFORE THAT. [LAUGHTER] 
          >> I GOT TO SAY, THAT IS THE MOST COMPLICATED JOB. 
          I TRIED TO UNDERSTAND THOSE, I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU FIGURED THAT OUT. 
          IT LOOKS SO COMPLICATED. 
          >> WE TRY TO DO THAT [INAUDIBLE]. [LAUGHTER] 
          >> ALL RIGHT. ALL THOSE FOR APPROVAL SAY AYE. 
          >> AYE. 
          >> AYE. 
          >> AYE. 
          >> AYE. 
          >> ALL THOSE, ALL RIGHT, CONSENT AGENDA PASSES, 
          [02:30:01]
WE ARE NOW ON TO PUBLIC COMMENT. 
          THIS IS GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT FOR ANYTHING THAT WAS NOT ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA. 
          FOR ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC, IS THERE ANYONE HERE IN THE ROOM THAT WISHES TO GIVE PUBLIC COMMENT? DR. [INAUDIBLE]. 
          >> I JUST WANTED TO PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGE A FEW PEOPLE THAT HELPED OUT AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LAST SATURDAY NIGHT. 
          WES CLARK, MARY [INAUDIBLE] , DAN ABRAHAM, AND LAURA CARTER MARKMAN, AND MOLLY [INAUDIBLE] , AND MOLLY'S MOTHER WHO VOLUNTEERED IN HER BACK KITCHEN FOR EIGHT HOURS AS WE SERVED 250 KIDS A THREE COURSE MEAL. 
          [G. Communication]
THEY COULD CHOOSE STEAK, VEGETABLE, OR CHICKEN. 
          WE BROUGHT IN THE LAB STAFF TO ENTERTAIN THEM. 
          THEY LOVED IT, IT WAS THEIR FIRST PERFORMANCE IN A YEAR. 
          IT WAS A FULL ON AFFAIR, IT'S LIKE A WEDDING ALMOST. 
          WE DID IT IN OUR TENTS AND KIDS HAD A GREAT TIME, WE HAD NO ISSUES. 
          IT TOOK MORE PLANNING THAT I'VE SEEN IN ANY SCHOOL EVENT IN MY TENURE TO PULL IT OFF. 
          PEOPLE WORKED AROUND THE CLOCK. 
          THEN WE HAD OUR TEACHING STAFF ACT AS SERVERS FOR ALL OF OUR STUDENTS, SO THEY WERE RUNNING AROUND BUSTING TABLES, SERVING DISHES. 
          I'M GOING TO LEAVE OFF A LOT OF PEOPLE, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE PUT IN A LOT OF TIME, AND OUR KIDS REALLY WERE POSITIVE. 
          THEIR POSITIVE ENERGY JUST BLIPPED. 
          YOU COULD SEE A NORMAL EVENT, AND THEY WERE WAITING ON IT FOR A WHILE. 
          I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT WITH EVERYBODY SO YOU KNEW WHAT HAPPENED AT THE HIGH SCHOOL ON SATURDAY. 
          BUT AGAIN, IT WAS PRETTY PHENOMENAL TO SEE THAT NORMAL TYPE OF ENERGY OCCUR. 
          >> THANK YOU. 
          >> THANK YOU. 
          >> [INAUDIBLE] 
          >> YEAH. 
          >> I ALSO WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT WITH YOUR APPROVAL OF THE STAFF CONSIDERATIONS, ANNIE [INAUDIBLE] AND SHE IS PRESENT, SHE WILL BE THE NEW ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL AT THE HIGH SCHOOL REPLACING DAN ABRAHAM. 
          I WANTED TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS TO ANNIE, AND WELCOME TO THE TEAM. 
          >> [INAUDIBLE] [LAUGHTER] 
          >> ANNIE, WE USUALLY REQUIRE ABOUT A 10 MINUTE DISSERTATION. 
          [LAUGHTER] ALL RIGHT. 
          CONGRATULATIONS ANNIE, THAT'S WONDERFUL. 
          ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT? HOW ABOUT ON VIRTUAL? ANYBODY ON WEBEX? OKAY. THEN I WILL MOVE DOWN TO COMMUNICATIONS TO THE BOARD, THERE WAS QUITE A LOT OF EMAILS REGARDING FACE COVERINGS UNTIL I THINK MOST OF THE BOARD HAS SEEN ALL MY RESPONSES. 
          I THINK I'M BEING CONSISTENT, I'M TRYING TO BE. 
          DID ANYONE HAVE ANY CONCERNS WITH MY RESPONSES, OR ANYTHING? OKAY. I ALSO WANTED TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE KNEW I TALKED TO JODY THIS AFTERNOON, JODY [INAUDIBLE]. 
          YES, THE COUNTY WENT TO GREEN, BUT THE STATE STILL HAS A CERTAIN YELLOW, AND THE COUNTY AND THE STATE DO NOT USE THE SAME COLOR COLLEAGUE SYSTEM. 
          THEY USE THE SAME COLORS, [LAUGHTER] BUT DIFFERENT METRICS TO DETERMINE COLOR. 
          WE'RE STILL ACTUALLY YELLOW. 
          TOMORROW THE STATE COMES OUT WITH, THEY DO IT ON THURSDAYS, THEY COME OUT WITH THEIR NEW COLORS EACH WEEK FOR THE COUNTIES. 
          POTENTIALLY, IF WE DID MOVE TO GREEN, YOU HAVE TO BE IN GREEN FOR TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO EVEN REQUESTING AN EXCEPTION TO FACE COVERING ORDER. 
          THE OTHER STORY IS, IT IS EXPECTED THAT DR. HARRIS WILL CONTINUE THE FACE COVERING ORDER AT LEAST THROUGH MAY 31ST, AND DR. HARRIS IS AWARE THAT WE GO THROUGH JUNE 11TH. 
          IT IS EXPECTED THAT DR. HARRIS WILL ACTUALLY PROBABLY EXTEND THE ORDER ALL THE WAY TO JUNE 11TH. 
          SHE MAY NOT DO THAT RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE SHE LIKES TO DO THINGS IN TWO WEEK INCREMENTS. 
          BUT IT APPEARS, AT LEAST AT THIS POINT, THAT THE ORDER WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, AND UNLESS WE COME DOWN TO GREEN, WE CANNOT ACTUALLY REQUEST AN EXCEPTION. 
          I KNOW THERE'S QUITE A LOT OF PARENTS THAT HAVE SENT US A LOT OF EMAILS REQUESTING THAT WE ALLOW TO NOT HAVE MASKS ANYMORE IN THE SCHOOLS, THEN AN EQUAL AMOUNT ON THE OTHER SIDE. 
          THERE IS A PETITION, IT SEEMS LIKE 500 PARENTS HAD SIGNED ASKING US TO REMOVE THE MASK RULE, YOU GET THE POINT. 
          THE SUPERINTEND ADVISORY COUNCIL DID THE SCHEDULE. 
          [02:35:04]
THEY DID? [LAUGHTER]. 
          >> ANYWAY, IF EVERYBODY'S COMFORTABLE WITH THAT, THAT'S WHAT I DID. 
          JUST A REAL QUICK REMINDER TO OUR EMPLOYEES. 
          IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE, I KNOW YOU KNOW US, WE'RE VERY FRIENDLY, WE'RE NICE PEOPLE UP HERE, I THINK SOMETIMES PEOPLE FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE CALLING US, TALKING TO US. 
          BUT I WOULD URGE YOU THAT IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION, PLEASE START WITH YOUR BUILDING PRINCIPLE FIRST. 
          IF IT'S NOT GOING WELL, OR IF YOU'RE BUILDING PRINCIPAL DOESN'T KNOW THE ANSWER, THEN CALL THE SUPERINTENDENT. 
          BUT PLEASE GO THROUGH THE SUPERINTENDENT TO ASK US BECAUSE MOST OF THOSE QUESTIONS ARE SO TECHNICAL, WE DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER, AND ONLY THE SUPERINTENDENT IS GOING TO KNOW IT. 
          BUT SHE CERTAINLY COULD ADVISE US AND BRING ISSUES TO US IF SHE NEEDS OUR INPUT. 
          BUT I WOULD STRONGLY URGE OUR EMPLOYEES, PLEASE WORK THROUGH YOUR BUILDING PRINCIPAL FIRST BEFORE CONTACTING US. 
          I DON'T MEAN THAT IN A RUDE WAY, I APPRECIATE THAT MANY OF OUR EMPLOYEES ARE VERY COMFORTABLE WITH US, AND THAT'S A GOOD THING, BUT PLEASE WORK THROUGH THE CHAIN OF COMMAND. 
          WITH THAT, COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE BOARD. 
          ANYONE? TRUSTEE TESKE. 
          >> MR. CHAIR, I JUST WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT IF INDEED WE HAD STARTED SCHOOL BEFORE LABOR DAY, WE WOULD BE LIFTING THE MASS GRADING FOR OUR STUDENTS EARLIER. 
          >> YES, VERY TRUE. 
          [LAUGHTER] YOU HAVE A GOOD SPEECH FOR NEXT YEAR. 
          [LAUGHTER] [OVERLAPPING] 
          >> OTHER COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE BOARD? ALL RIGHT. SAY NONE. 
          ANY FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS, I WOULD POINT OUT ON THE FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS THAT SUPERINTENDENT CHAPMAN IS WORKING ON THE HOUSING ISSUE POTENTIALLY. 
          IT LOOKS LIKE JUNE, WE WILL BE HAVING A MUCH LONGER CONVERSATION IN A WORKSHOP SETTING AND WE'RE GOING TO HIGHLY PRIORITIZE THAT ISSUE AND SEE WHAT WE CAN DO ON THAT. 
          ARE THERE OTHER TOPICS, I'LL JUST OPEN IT UP FOR DISCUSSION THAT PEOPLE WOULD LIKE US TO BE ADDING TO AGENDAS OR TO BE ADDING TO WORKSHOPS OR TO DISCUSS FURTHER? OKAY. ANY JUST GENERAL THOUGHTS THAT ANYONE WANTED TO SHARE WITH US? SUPERINTENDENT CHAPMAN, CAN YOU DESCRIBE TO US JUST SO WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE THE TOWN HALL TYPE SETTING MEETING OF MAY 26. 
          HOW DOES THAT WORK? WHAT IS OUR ROLE? WHAT DO YOU NEED US TO BE DOING? 
          >> THANK YOU, CHAIR GINGERY, TRUSTEES. 
          MAY 26, THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION IS ACTUALLY HOSTING A TOWN HALL THAT THEY CALL A PROFILE OF A GRADUATE. 
          THIS WAS DEFINITELY IN LINE WITH A CONVERSATION THAT OUR BOARD HAD A MONTH AGO AND IT FITS INTO OUR STRATEGIC PLAN AS WELL SO WE VOLUNTEERED TO HOST ONE. 
          THERE'S ONE, IT'LL BE MAY 26, AT 6:00 P.M. YOU CAN BE PRESENT OR YOU COULD TUNE IN VIRTUALLY AND THERE'S REALLY NO ROLE OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY OF US. 
          I'LL CERTAINLY BE HERE AS A HOST, BUT I DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE ANY ROLE OR RESPONSIBILITY, NEITHER DOES THE BOARD. 
          I'VE WATCHED SEVERAL OF THE SESSIONS THAT THEY HAVE RECORDED AND POSTED AND IT DOESN'T APPEAR THAT ANY OF THE STATE BOARD MEMBERS ARE PRESENT. 
          THEY SHOW A VIDEO OF THE CHAIRMAN JUST TALKING ABOUT THE PURPOSE AND IT'S ABOUT AN HOUR LONG CONVERSATION. 
          SIBELIUS FACILITATES. 
          SHE DOES A REALLY NICE JOB AND THEN SHE WILL NOT, I DON'T THINK SHE'LL BE PRESENT FOR IT. 
          SHE'LL BE VIRTUAL AS WELL. 
          THERE'S REALLY NO ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITY. 
          WE'RE JUST LOOKING TO GET INPUT FROM STAFF, COMMUNITY MEMBERS ON WHAT ARE THE SKILLS THAT A GRADUATE OF THE WILEY PUBLIC SCHOOL NEEDS TO HAVE TO BE SUCCESSFUL. 
          [02:40:02]
          >> BUT WE SHOULD COME MAY 26. 
          WE'RE NOT SITTING UP HERE, WE'RE JUST SITTING LIKE EVERYONE ELSE OUT IN THE PUBLIC, JUST PARTICIPATING. 
          >> SURE. 
          >> OKAY. SO WE'RE NOT RUNNING THE MEETING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. 
          WE JUST COME AND IF WE WANT TO COMMENT, WE WOULD COMMENT LIKE ANYONE ELSE WHO'S THERE TO COME. 
          >> CORRECT. 
          >> OKAY. THAT WAS THE PART I WAS NOT QUITE UNDERSTANDING AND I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          ARE WE GOING TO HAVE A CONVERSATION BEYOND THAT BECAUSE I THINK TRUSTEE TESKE, WAS WANTING, I'M PUTTING WORDS IN YOUR MOUTH, MORE OF A DISCUSSION JUST AMONGST OURSELVES AS TO WHAT WE THINK A GRADUATE SHOULD BE. 
          >> SURE. CHAIR GINGERY, WE CAN DO THAT AT ANY POINT IN TIME AS A SUMMARY, AS AN ADDITION, AS A FOLLOW-UP, WHATEVER YOUR PLEASURE. 
          >> WHAT WAS YOUR THOUGHTS SINCE THAT WAS YOUR THING? 
          >> WELL, ONE OF THE BIG CONTROVERSIES AROUND SCHOOL FUNDING IS THE BASKET OF GOODS IS OVERFLOWING AND SO THERE IS A STRONG DESIRE TO LOOK AT THE BASKET OF GOODS, WHAT'S IN THE BASKET? WHAT ARE THINGS THAT WE SHOULD BE DOING? WHAT ARE THINGS MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T BE DOING? I KNOW THAT SHE'S RECEIVED A SURVEY ON THIS, IT WAS LIKE, HOW DO WE REACH OUT TO OUR COMMUNITY SO THAT WE HAVE THE ABILITY OR ME, I'M BEING KIND OF SELFISH, IN PARTICULAR, I'D LIKE TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO REPRESENT THE VOICE OF OUR COMMUNITY WHEN I GO DOWN TO CHEYENNE, AND THEY START TRYING TO PULL STUFF OR PUT STUFF IN. 
          WHAT DO WE REALLY WANT [NOISE] OUR KIDS TO BE WHEN THEY GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL AND SO THE PROFILE OF THE GRADUATE TO ME IS SORT OF A FIRST STEP TO GET US A LITTLE BIT EDUCATED ON WHAT ARE SOME OF THE DISCUSSIONS HAPPENING. 
          I KNOW SCOTT HAS BEEN DOING AN INCREDIBLE JOB INTERVIEWING STUDENTS AND STUFF, BUT I JUST WANT US TO BE WELL POSITIONED TO BE ABLE TO REPRESENT OUR COMMUNITY IN TERMS OF WHAT THEY WANT OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM TO LOOK LIKE. 
          >> DO YOU ENVISION US HAVING ANOTHER MEETING POSSIBLY IN JUNE OR JULY TO HAVE A FURTHER DISCUSSION? 
          >> I ENVISION US TO HAVE ANOTHER DISCUSSION. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF IT NEEDS TO BE JUNE OR JULY. 
          I MEAN, IT COULD BE OFF OCTOBER MAYBE. 
          >> OKAY. [OVERLAPPING] I'LL JUST TRY TO MAKE SURE I ACCOMMODATE YOUR REQUEST. 
          >> I'M A LITTLE LEERIER JUNE OR JULY BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO WIND DOWN NOT WIND UP IN EDUCATION, BUT I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO THINK ABOUT WHAT DO THEY WANT THEIR KIDS TO LEARN? 
          >> WHAT ABOUT BUSINESS? IT USED TO BE, WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL, WE DIDN'T WORRY SO MUCH ABOUT WHAT OUR KIDS WERE GOING TO DO FOR JOBS, BUT IT'S A LOT MORE IMPORTANT THESE DAYS IT SEEMS AND IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT MIGHT BE HELPFUL TO HAVE SOME BUSINESS LEADERS IN THE COMMUNITY COME IN AND ALSO TALK TO US ABOUT WHAT THE NEEDS ARE FOR EMPLOYMENT. 
          >> THAT'S A REALLY GOOD IDEA. 
          >> ABSOLUTELY. 
          >> WE MAY COORDINATE WITH THE CHAMBER SOMEHOW. 
          [OVERLAPPING] THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY POINT TOO, IS THAT I THINK JUNE OR JULY, I MEAN, I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE A COMMUNITY CONVERSATION SO THAT WE CAN SAY THIS IS WHAT OUR CONSTITUENTS. 
          LIKE, JANINE, CAN SAY THIS IS WHAT MY CONSTITUENTS WANT. 
          >> WE ALL CAN SAY THAT. 
          >> AS THEY MAYBE TRY TO REORGANIZE BASKET OF GOODS AND SO IT NEEDS TO BE A TIME TO RETHINK, WE CAN GET SOME PARTICIPATION AND I WOULD SAY THAT SOMEHOW WE CAN. 
          >> OKAY. 
          >> YEAH. [LAUGHTER] 
          >> THE MAY 26 THING, ARE WE GOING TO ADVERTISE THAT SO PEOPLE KNOW TO COME? SHOULD WE PUT AN AD IN PAPER? SHOULD WE DO SOMETHING MORE THAN WHAT THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION IS DOING SO CAN I [INAUDIBLE] IN THIS ROOM? 
          >> CORRECT, CHAIR GINGERY, WE WILL BE IN THIS ROOM AND THE STATE BOARD HAS A FLYER IN ENGLISH AND IN SPANISH. 
          WE'LL BE SENDING THAT OUT AND WE CAN CERTAINLY RUN AN AD IN THE PAPER AS WELL ON BEHALF OF THE STATE BOARD, BUT WE WERE PLANNING ON BLASTING IT OUT WITH OUR, [OVERLAPPING] BUT I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA TO INVOLVE THE CHAMBER AND SO THEY CAN ALSO SHARE IT WITH THEIR GROUP. 
          I THINK THOSE ARE GREAT SUGGESTIONS. 
          >> SO BOARD, WE'RE GOING TO BE SPENDING, IT SOUNDS LIKE, SOME TIME ON THIS BASKET OF GOODS QUESTION AND ON THE HOUSING ISSUE. 
          IS THERE ANY ISSUE AND JUST TO BE FAIR I'LL JUST GO DOWN THE LINE. 
          TRUSTEE BROWN, SO LET ME START WITH YOU. 
          ARE THERE ANY ISSUES BECAUSE SUMMER IS SORT OF, WE HAVE SOME TIME THAT YOU THINKING IF YOU CAN BE CONCENTRATING ON HAVING SOME WORKSHOPS, HAVING SOME DISCUSSIONS, SOMETHING THAT'S FALLEN THROUGH THE CRACKS DURING COVID THAT WE JUST HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO? 
          >> NOTHING OTHER THAN WHAT WE'VE MENTIONED. 
          >> OKAY. TRUSTEE ZUNG, IS THERE ANYTHING ON YOUR SCHEDULE? 
          >> NO, BUT HOUSING IS [OVERLAPPING] 
          [02:45:01]
          >> THAT'S A GOOD POINT. 
          EXCELLENT. TRUSTEE TESKE. 
          >> MR. CHAIR, I THINK THE OTHER ONE WE NEED TO DIG INTO SOME POINT IN TIME IS OUR ACTIVITIES. 
          WE ARE TIED WITH, CODY, I BELIEVE, FOR HAVING THE MOST ACTIVITIES IN THE STATE AT 23. 
          I THINK IF YOU LOOK AT STAR VALLEY, I THINK THEY'VE GOT 12 OR 14. 
          WHAT IS THE RIGHT NUMBER? I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND AND I KNOW SCOTT HAS DONE A WONDERFUL JOB OF, AT THE END OF THE YEAR, BRINGING THE KIDS UNDER THE CIRCLE OF WHO PARTICIPATED IN THIS AND WE'LL BE LEAVING KIDS OUT, BUT I THINK IT'S JUST A GOOD DISCUSSION FOR US TO HAVE. 
          >> TRUSTEE CARLIN, ANYTHING ON YOUR AGENDA, SCHEDULE? 
          >> NOTHING IS COMING TO MIND RIGHT NOW. 
          >> ALL RIGHT. TRUSTEE MEAD. 
          >> NOTHING COMES TO MIND OTHER THAN WHAT EVERYBODY HAS SUGGESTED. 
          >> ALL RIGHT. THEN IT SOUNDS LIKE WE HAVE A PRETTY GOOD CONSENSUS OF WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING ON THE NEXT FEW MONTHS. 
          IF YOU CAN SEE THE ADVANCED PLANNING, YOU GOT THE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION COMING UP ON JUNE 5TH. 
          I BELIEVE YOU TWO GOT YOUR ROBES TONIGHT. 
          EVERYONE ELSE HAS THEIRS AT HOME AND EVERYONE WILL BE THERE. 
          OKAY. THAT'S THAT. 
          >> CHAIR GINGERY, I'M NOT GOING TO BE THERE. 
          >> YOU WILL NOT BE AT GRADUATION. ALL RIGHT. 
          THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME KNOW THAT. 
          REVIEW OF MEETING. ANY THOUGHTS ON THE MEETING? 
          >> I HAVE ONE. 
          >> YES. 
          >> I REALLY APPRECIATE HOW YOU STOPPED AND INCLUDED KATE IN THE DISCUSSION AS WE WENT THROUGH IT SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. 
          >> I SHOULD BE THANKING HIM FOR THAT [LAUGHTER] AND THANK YOU FOR TUNING IN BECAUSE I KNOW [LAUGHTER] YOU FELT LIKE YOU WEREN'T INCLUDED ON THE LAST ONE SO YOU TEED IT UP FOR ME. THANK YOU, BOTH OF YOU. 
          >> ALL RIGHT. 
          ANYTHING ELSE ANYONE HAS? I WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ADJOURN. 
          >> MOVED. 
          >> THEN MOVED AND SECONDED TO ADJOURN. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. 
          >> AYE. 
          >> ALL OPPOSED.
