[00:00:05]
>> WE'LL MOVE THEN TO SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
[C. Superintendent's Report]
TODAY, IS THE SAD STATE OF THE YEAR, TO ME AT LEAST.
I'M SURE SOME PEOPLE WOULD DISAGREE THAT IT'S THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL AND IT WAS A SHORT DAY, BUT IT'S ALSO VERY NICE LONG DAY IN THAT THERE ARE SO MANY SPECIAL ACTIVITIES.
I WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO OUR TEACHERS, OUR STAFF FOR MAKING THE SCHOOL YEAR A TERRIFIC SCHOOL YEAR FOR ALL OF OUR STUDENTS.
I ALSO WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO SOME SPECIAL GROUPS.
THE FACILITIES DEPARTMENT IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS OF SCHOOL, THEY HAVE SO MANY DIFFERENT PROGRAMS THEY'RE PLANNING FOR INCLUDING-
>> I THINK I DID AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR,
[00:05:14]
AND YOU SAID OKAY, AND I SAID I'M DOING IT ANYWAY SO [LAUGHTER]>> YOU SAID MAYBE AND I SAID, THAT'S FINE. I'M DOING ANYWAY [LAUGHTER]
>> MOLLY'S PASSION FOR KIDS IS A GRIP ABIDE IN THIS EXAMPLE, BEYOND HER TEACHING.
STARTING A PROGRAM IN OUR SCHOOL TO COLLECT CLOTHING, FORMAL CLOTHING FOR EVENTS FOR STUDENTS WHO, MAYBE THOSE STUDENTS WHO CAN'T AFFORD SOME OF THOSE UNIQUE CLOTHING ATTIRE FOR A FORMAL SCHOOL EVENTS.
SHE JUST TOOK OVER ANOTHER ROOM IN THE BUILDING, STARTED IT OVER, AND I'M ALL FOR IT.
I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT'S JUST AN EXAMPLE OF SOMETHING THAT GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND HER TEACHING.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING OBVIOUSLY IS TEACHING AND LEARNING.
YOU ENGAGE KIDS DAILY, YOUR TEACHING SKILLS IN THESE TEACHING STATIONS.
YOU DON'T ASSUME ALL KIDS LEARN AT THE SAME RATE, THE SAME PACE.
YOU BALANCE A REGULAR CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENT WITH A LAB ENVIRONMENT AND CULINARY, WHICH IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DO, AND YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH A VERY CROWDED LUNCHROOM BEING NOISE WHILE YOU'RE TEACHING [INAUDIBLE] MOLLY CONGRATULATIONS.
[APPLAUSE] I JUST WANT TO MAKE A REALLY ONE REALLY QUICK CONFESSION.
IT WAS THREE MONTHS INTO TEACHING FULL-TIME BEFORE I SAW THE WORD PEDAGOGY AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANT [LAUGHTER] I'M NOT SAYING THAT AS AN INDICTMENT OF ANYONE'S HIRING CHOICES OBVIOUSLY, BUT AS A MEASURE OF JUST HOW GRACIOUS AND PATIENT AND ENTHUSIASTIC AND SUPPORTIVE, GILLIAN AND SCOTT, AND DAN, AND LAURA AND MY PEERS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL HAVE BEEN THE LAST FEW YEARS.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE WITH THE GOOD IDEAS AND THE BAD.
>> MR. CHAIR [INAUDIBLE] I HAVE THE PLEASURE OF RECOGNIZING NEELY ANGEL AS OUR STAFF OF THE YEAR AND [INAUDIBLE] KEEP ON COMING.
[INAUDIBLE], YOU ARE GOING TO SHARE SOME WORDS ABOUT NEELY.
>> IF YOU LISTEN TO NEELY'S VOICE, YOU'LL KNOW THAT NEELY GIVES IT HER ALL AT SCHOOL EVERY DAY.
IT'S THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL, AND SHE'S OUT THERE DOING RECESS DUTY.
>> PLEASE BE CAREFUL [INAUDIBLE] [LAUGHTER]
NEELY CAME TO US IN 2019 IN DECEMBER, AND HAS A BIG BACKGROUND, THERAPEUTIC WRITINGS, [INAUDIBLE], AND SHE IS NOW ONE OF OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION PARAPROFESSIONALS.
NEELY CAN GO FROM WALKING A STUDENT DOWN THE HALLWAY KINDLY, CALMLY, TO BACKING AWAY FROM A STUDENT GIVING THEM SPACE TO TRANSITIONING TO HOLDING A GARBAGE CAN WHILE A STUDENT THROWS UP.
NOW, IT COULD BE BECAUSE NEELY HAS BEEN STRUCK BY LIGHTNING, SHE HAS SURVIVED ALL OF THE RABIES VACCINATION SHOTS.
>> SMALL CHILDREN DO NOT SCARE HER, BUT WE'RE REALLY FORTUNATE TO HAVE NEELY.
WE KNOW THAT WE CAN PUT NEELY WITH ANY KIDS, WHETHER IT'S A STUDENT WHO IS REALLY STRUGGLING OR A STUDENT WHO IS DOING GREAT AND THEY WILL GROW AND BLOOM UNDER NEELY'S CARE.
NEELY WORKS IN LOTS OF DIFFERENT GRADES THIS YEAR.
SHE'S BEEN MORE IN THE LITTLE KINDER WORLD AND IT'S REALLY FUN TO SEE HER IN THERE WITH THOSE LITTLE KINDER KIDS, JUST HELPING THEM LEARN THE ROPES OF BEING A KINDERGARTENER AND HOW TO DO SCHOOL.
WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE AND VERY BLESSED TO HAVE NEELY AS A PARAPROFESSIONAL AT [INAUDIBLE] [APPLAUSE]
THIS IS SUCH AN HONOR TO BE IN FRONT OF YOU GUYS NOW.
SORRY, I DON'T HAVE MUCH OF A VOICE.
>> CHAIRMAN SCARLETT, THE NEXT ITEM UNDER THE SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT IS THE DISTRICT LEADER'S REPORT.
IF ANYONE HAS QUESTIONS, WE'RE HAPPY TO ANSWER THOSE.
>> [INAUDIBLE] FEW THINGS. FIRST OF ALL, NEELY IS JUST AMAZING.
MOLLY, MY DAUGHTER, HAD ONLY THIS YEAR.
I AM SO IMPRESSED WITH MOLLY'S CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT.
[00:10:03]
EVERYONE SAYS, YES CHEF, AND THEY SAY IT FAST AND YOU DO NOT MESS WITH THE CHEF.IT'S EXTREMELY IMPRESSIVE HOW REGIMENTED SHE RUNS THAT CLASSROOM.
SHE'S TAKING A WHOLE GROUP OF CHILDREN NEXT YEAR TO ITALY OVER SPRING BREAK. SHE'S VERY BRAVE.
ON THE DISTRICT LEADER'S REPORT, I JUST REALLY WANT TO THANK HEATHER JOHN AND HER CREW.
THE CHANGE OF THE INSURANCE JUST WENT SO SMOOTHLY.
THE PORTAL THAT HUB CREATED, I'M NOT SURE WHO CREATED IT, BUT I ASSUME HUB, IT WAS SO EASY FOR OUR STAFF TO USE.
I TAKE ALL CREDIT BECAUSE PEOPLE RUN INTO ME AND THEY SAY, LOOK, GREAT. I GO, YES. THANK YOU.
[INAUDIBLE] [LAUGHTER] BUT I'VE GOT QUITE A FEW STAFF TALK TO ME AND SAY HOW MUCH THEY APPRECIATE IT YOU COMING TO EVERY SCHOOL EXPLAINING IT IN SUCH DETAIL.
THE VIDEOS THAT WENT OUT, THE PEOPLE WHO HAD MISSED IT COULD WATCH THE VIDEOS AND SEE EXACTLY HOW IT WAS ALL WORKING.
ALL THE QUESTIONS THAT EVERYBODY WAS ABLE TO ANSWER.
I'M JUST REALLY EXCITED ABOUT MOVING TO GUARDIAN.
I THINK WE MADE A REALLY GOOD DECISION.
MORE IMPORTANTLY, THANK YOU TO HEATHER AND ALL OF HER CREW AND KRISTEN FOR MAKING THE TRANSITION.
I'M SURE TO YOU GUYS THAT DIDN'T SEEM REAL EASY, BUT I THINK TO MANY OF THE STAFF, IT SEEMED LIKE A VERY EASY TRANSITION AND VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.
THEN FOR COLBY, I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY I REALLY ENJOYED THE [INAUDIBLE] GOT HONORED FOR THE WALKING SCHOOL BUS.
EVERYWHERE YOU GO PEOPLE MENTIONED IT, EXPLAIN THAT WALKING SCHOOL BUS THING TO ME AND YOU HAVE TO EXPLAIN TO PEOPLE [INAUDIBLE] SUCH GREAT EMPLOYEES OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND I REALLY APPRECIATE IT THAT THE ROTARY CLUB HONORED THEM.
ANYWAY, THAT WAS MY ONLY COMMENTS ON THE DISTRICT LEADER'S REPORT.
ALSO, I'M SO EXCITED TO SEE FOUR EMPLOYEES IN WILLOW 2.
I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO GET MORE EMPLOYEE HOUSING, BUT GETTING THE FOUR INTO THE WILLOW 2 AND SO PERFECTLY.
[INAUDIBLE] DID SUCH A NICE JOB AND THAT NOW THAT WE HAVE FOUR EMPLOYEES IN THERE.
IF YOU'VE HAVE DRIVEN BY LATELY, THERE'S LITTLE KIDS BIKES OUT FRONT.
IT'S TOUGH WHEN YOU SWITCH A TRAILER TO A HOME, BUT THEY LOOK LIKE HOMES. THEY REALLY DO.
I REALLY APPRECIATE DEANNA, HER CREW FOR MAKING THAT ALL WORK.
IT'S JUST AMAZING THAT THEY WERE MOVING THOSE TRAILERS IN THE MIDDLE OF A SNOWSTORM AND THANKSGIVING AND IT JUST ALL WENT OFF PERFECTLY. THANK YOU.
>> I WANTED TO MAKE A COMMENT ON BOW MILLER'S REPORT WITH REGARDS TO THE ACCESS SCORES THAT WE HAD THIS YEAR THAT WERE SO GOOD.
THAT'S GREAT THAT EVERYBODY IS MEETING EXPECTATIONS.
I THINK IT JUST WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN OUR STUDENTS LIVES, MAYBE ALL THE REST OF THEIR LIVES TO HAVE SUCH PROGRESS.
THANKS, BOW FOR MAKING THAT INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO US.
>> JUST OUT OF A LITTLE CURIOSITY, DR. CHAPMAN, HOW MANY APPLICANTS DID WE HAVE FOR THIS WILLOW 2 UNITS?
WE CONTINUE TO HAVE SERIOUS NEEDS.
[LAUGHTER] ON THE 24 UNITS OVER HERE, WE'RE MOVING ON SCHEDULE TO GET CONSTRUCTION BIDS ON THAT?
>> ANYTHING ELSE? AWESOME. STEPH.
>> THE NEXT ITEM, CHAIRMAN IS THE EDUCATIONAL MOMENT.
THIS IS DR. [INAUDIBLE] LAST MEETING, WE FIGURED IT'S TIME FOR DR. CHRIS TO GET INTO THE GROOVE.
WE'RE GOING TO PUT INTO THE TEST ON A VERY SHORT EDUCATIONAL MOMENT [LAUGHTER] IS ON CHATGPT AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
[00:15:04]
>> YES. [LAUGHTER] SETTING YOU UP FOR SUCCESS.
>> I'M JUST GOING TO PROVIDE SOME INFORMATION.
A LOT OF THIS IS INTENDED FOR YOU TO WHEN YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT INDIVIDUALLY. IT'S A LOT.
BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD JUST BE ADDRESSING THINGS VERY QUICKLY ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN EDUCATION AROUND THIS TOPIC.
TO GET STARTED THOUGH, WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO MODEL ON A VERY SPECIFIC APPLICATION OF THIS TOOL.
MAYBE SOMEBODY PLAYED WITH IT ONLINE AND SEEING WHAT IT CAN DO.
BUT ANDRE, YOU CAN GO TO OUR PRESET TAB.
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF AN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE CALLED CHATGPT.
THIS IS THE ONE A LOT OF EDUCATORS WERE TALKING ABOUT.
I WENT AHEAD AND PUT A PROMPT IN THIS.
I WROTE THE PROMPTS THAT SAYS PLEASE CREATE AN END YEAR SELF-REFLECTION ACTIVITY FOR HIGH-SCHOOL LEVEL STUDENTS AND AN AP CLASS THAT ASKS STUDENTS TO EVALUATE THEIR WORK EFFORT, THE CLASS TEACHING STRATEGIES, AND WHAT GRADE THEY DESERVE.
YOU CAN GO INTO THE GREEN ARROW.
THIS IS A MODEL OF EXACTLY WHAT ONE TOOL CAN DO.
THIS CREATES AN ASSIGNMENT, A LESSON PLAN THAT A TEACHER COULD POTENTIALLY USE.
IF YOU GO BACK TO THIS SLIDE NOW, IF YOU CLICK ON THE NEXT CRISP EXAMPLE, THIS IS SOMETHING I USE IN THE CLASS THAT I JUST WRAPPED UP MYSELF, JACKSONVILLE HIGH SCHOOL.
TO END THE CLASS, I ACTUALLY USE THIS TOOL TO CREATE THE STUDENTS' SELF-REFLECTION TOOL IN US HISTORY.
ALL STUDENTS COMPLETED THIS AND HAVE ONE-ON-ONE CONFERENCES WITH ME.
IT SAVES ME A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF TIME.
IT ACTUALLY WAS PRETTY GOOD QUALITY IN TERMS OF A LESS.
WASN'T PERFECT AND IT DOES REQUIRE THE PERSON TO OBVIOUSLY REVIEW, EDIT, AND MAKE SURE IT'S GOOD FOR STUDENTS.
THE REASON I WANTED TO SHOW YOU A REAL-TIME EXAMPLE AND SOMETHING THAT WAS ACTUALLY USING CLASS IS THAT MY END-OF-UNIT ACTIVITY WITH STUDENTS, THE ENGAGEMENT LEVEL WITH ONE-ON-ONE CASE THIS GENERATED ASSIGNMENT, WAS SOME OF THE HIGHEST ENGAGEMENTS I HAD ALL YEAR BECAUSE OF THE PROMPTS THAT WERE CREATED BY THIS TOOL.
I'M NOT MAKING A STATEMENT, THESE TOOLS ARE PERFECT. WE ALL KNOW THEY'RE NOT.
BUT I DID WANT TO MODEL A SPECIFIC EXAMPLE OF HOW IT CAN BE USED IN CLASS IN A PRODUCTIVE WAY, KNOWING THERE ARE TONS OF EXAMPLES OF HOW IT CAN BE MODELED IN A VERY UNPRODUCTIVE WAY.
WE CAN GO TO THE SLIDESHOW VERY QUICKLY.
I'LL TAKE YOU THROUGH A FEW SLIDES.
THEN THERE'S A LOT OF LINKS IN THERE TOO THAT JULIE TANABE WHO WAS FANTASTIC IN SCHOOL HELPED ME CREATE THIS SLIDESHOW.
AI AND EDUCATION IS HERE. IT'S HAPPENING.
WE DO NOT CURRENTLY BLOCK OR FILTER AI.
IT'S ACTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DO, GIVEN ALL OF THE WAYS AROUND BLOCKING SYSTEMS. OUR STUDENTS CAN PROBABLY ATTEST TO THAT.
BY THE WAY THIS IS ALL FOR YOU, THIS ONE.
THIS GENERATES INFORMATION FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES BASED OFF THE QUESTION THAT YOU INPUT.
BUT THERE ARE OTHER DATASETS TO AI IN TERMS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, WE JUST DEMONSTRATED ONE TYPE.
THAT ONE TYPE IS THE ONE THAT EDUCATORS ARE TENDING TO USE MORE THAN OTHERS. NEXT SLIDE.
YOU CAN SEE THE EXPONENTIAL YOU SUBMIT.
IT'S ALREADY TAKING OFF AS YOU KNOW, IT'S HEADLINE NEWS EVERY DAY.
I DID IN ALL MY EDUCATIONAL REPORTS, BOTH PROS AND CONS BEING OUTLINED.
IT IS A TOPIC THAT EDUCATORS ARE VERY INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE.
WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE OFFERING SOME PD THAT WE SENT OUT, OR AT LEAST WE DID AT THE HIGH SCHOOL ON CLASSES THAT TEACHERS CAN TAKE OVER AND SOMEWHAT OR LEARN ABOUT IT MORE.
WE'RE GETTING MORE STAFF SIGNED UP.
THESE ARE OTHER REALLY CREATIVE IDEAS OF WHAT TEACHERS CAN DO IN A POSITIVE WAY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE TECHNOLOGY.
THEY'RE JUST EXAMPLES, AGAIN, TO LOOK AT INDIVIDUALLY WHEN YOU CAN.
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU'VE HAD SOME EXAMPLES OF EXACTLY WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN CLASSROOMS. ONE OF THE CONCERNS OBVIOUSLY IS ORIGINAL WORK.
I DO THINK GOING FORWARD, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE A REALLY HARD LOOK AT THE ASSIGNMENT TYPES THAT ARE CREATED.
NO LONGER CAN YOU SIMPLY ASK A STUDENT TO GO HOME AND WRITE AN ESSAY IN THREE DAYS AND COME BACK TO CLASS WITH IT POLISHED.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WRITE THAT ESSAY DOWN.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PROMPT KIDS TO CREATE SOME ORIGINAL THINKING WITHIN PARAGRAPHS.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO BETTER AT LESSON PLAN DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE THIS IS HERE.
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO TO CONTINUE TO ENGAGE KIDS IN AN AUTHENTIC WAY AND NOT JUST A RECALL WAY?
[00:20:03]
NEXT. WE CAN KEEP GOING THROUGH THE NEXT FOR TIME.WHAT WE HAVE PUT HERE FOR YOU IS IN THE PRESENTATION, THIS PLAGIARISM HERE THAT YOU REALLY SEE THE SECONDARY SYSTEM IN PARTICULAR AROUND THE WRITING.
THERE ARE WAYS TO TEACH WITH AI AND AVOID PLAGIARISM AS WELL.
THERE ARE TOOLS THAT CATCH PLAGIARISM THAT WE ALREADY HAVE IN PLACE.
ALTHOUGH A LOT OF THE AI-GENERATED MATERIAL IS NOT CAUGHT WITH PLAGIARISM TOOLS.
YOU'LL SEE A LOT OF THESE ARTICLES AND EDUCATIONAL MAGAZINES AND RESEARCH.
DISTRICTS ARE TAKING VERY DIFFERENT VIEWS OF WHAT TO DO WITH AI AT THIS POINT.
AGAIN, IN OUR DISTRICT RIGHT NOW, WE'RE NOT BLOCKING AI.
WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PULL UP THAT EXAMPLE IF THERE WAS.
THERE'S WAY TOO MANY PROXY SERVERS OR WAYS AROUND TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS THIS TYPE OF TECHNOLOGY.
THAT IS FOR DISCUSSION, OBVIOUSLY.
GREAT MATERIALS OUT THERE AROUND THIS TOPIC.
WHAT I'VE DONE, YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THIS DOCUMENT, THE POWERPOINT THAT GOES THROUGH NEWS ARTICLES, VIDEO NEWS ARTICLES, NEWSPAPER NEWS ARTICLES, AND REALLY TRIES TO PROVIDE YOU AS A BOARD A GOOD SHOT OF UNDERSTANDING BOTH SIDES OF AI TECHNOLOGY.
THERE'S A COMPREHENSIVE DOCUMENT LINKED TO THIS, OBVIOUSLY NOT FOR TONIGHT, BUT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE BOARD HAD SOME RESOURCES GOING FORWARD.
THAT'S WHAT I HAVE FOR THE QUICK MOMENT.
ANY QUESTIONS THAT I CAN ANSWER ON THIS REALLY EASY TOPIC TO EXPLAIN? [LAUGHTER] THANK YOU.
>> THAT INCLUDES THE SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT AND NOW WE'RE INTO THE REPORTS AND OTHER ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION.
[D. Reports and Items for Discussion]
>> JUST THE STUDENTS SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER REPORT.
>> WELL, LAST WEEK, TRUSTEE DORNAN AND MYSELF INTERVIEWED STUDENTS AT THE JACKSON HOLE HIGH SCHOOL FOR THE STUDENTS SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER POSITIONS.
WE HAD EXCELLENT INTERVIEWS, IT WAS A HARD CHOICE BUT WE SELECTED THESE THREE NEW STUDENT SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS.
I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE ON THE NIGHT OF YOUR FINAL DAY OF [LAUGHTER].
YOU'RE ALL ENTERING YOUR SENIOR YEAR,SO THAT'S A BIG DEAL.
WE HAVE ANDREW HANNA, AND HE GOES BY DREW, AND CECILY ROSS, AND GABRIEL KANTOR AND HE GOES BY GABES.
WE ARE THRILLED TO HAVE YOU AND LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU FOR THE NEXT YEAR.
>> WELCOME. IT'S BEEN FUN HERE.
>> IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, YOU CAN ALWAYS ASK, TRUSTEE GINGERY BECAUSE HE WAS IN FACT A STUDENT'S SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER AT THE JACKSON HOLE HIGH SCHOOL.
[LAUGHTER] SOMEBODY ASKED IN THE INTERVIEWS, HOW LONG THIS PROGRAM IT'S BEEN GOING, AND I SAID, WELL, I DON'T KNOW, BUT AS LONG AS KEITH WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL.
>> THAT'S RIGHT. FIRST EXAM, THE SCHOOL MANAGEMENT REPORT.
>> IT WILL BE A BUDGET UPDATES AND OUR BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR.
THE BUDGET UPDATES, WE'LL JUST LOOK AT THAT QUICKLY.
ONE OF THE THINGS I DID AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS BUDGET UPDATE, AS YOU ALL KNOW, WE APPROVED THE TECHNOLOGY INCREASE THAT WAS OVER AND ABOVE SOME CASH RESERVES.
WHEN WE LOOK AT WHERE WE ARE IN TERMS OF WHERE WE WERE LAST YEAR, I JUST PULLED OUT WHAT THAT TECHNOLOGY ADDITIONAL AMOUNT WAS SO THAT WE CAN SEE.
WE WERE AT ABOUT 96% OF OUR BUDGET LAST YEAR, RIGHT NOW AT THE END OF MAY, WE WERE AT 92% FOR TOTAL NON-COMPENSATION AND THEN FOR TOTAL EXPENDITURE, WE'RE RIGHT ABOUT WHERE WE WERE LAST YEAR.
I THOUGHT IT WAS EASIER TO LOOK AT THAT WITH THOSE NUMBERS PULLED OUT. YES.
[00:25:05]
>> MS. KRISTEN, IS IT 396% UNDER LEASES, IS THAT THE TECHNOLOGY LEASES?
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM TRUSTEES?
>> ONE OTHER THING TO HIGHLIGHT IS ON THE REVENUE.
WE ARE AT 140% OF OUR REVENUE PROJECTIONS.
>> WE ARE, A BIG PART OF THAT IS BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T MADE OUR SECOND RECAPTURE PAYMENT, WHICH IS MADE JUNE 25TH OF 30 MILLION.
WE DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO, BUT WE MAY GET A CALL FROM THE STATEMENT.
>> ARE WE BUILDING A NEW LIFE? [LAUGHTER].
>> I THINK WE MAY WANT TO CC A COUPLE OF PEOPLE.
[LAUGHTER] WE CAN GO TO THE BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR.
THIS TIME OF YEAR, WE USUALLY HAVE A LOT MORE QUESTIONS ANSWERED THEN WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW AND A BIG PART OF THAT IS BECAUSE OF THE INSURANCE CHANGE.
WE JUST FINALIZED THOSE ENROLLMENTS ON SUNDAY, SO WE'RE STILL WORKING THROUGH THE ACTUAL CENSUS DATA.
I HAVE THAT NOW, I HAVE TO SAY THE REPORTING THAT'S COMING OUT OF OUR NEW HEALTH INSURANCE IS AMAZING.
I HOPE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS, AS WE TRANSITION TO THE NEW HEALTH INSURANCE, WE'LL BE ABLE TO REALLY GIVE YOU GUYS MORE UP-TO-DATE AND MORE RELEVANT DATA THAN WHAT WE'VE HAD IN THE PAST.
I'M SO EXCITED BECAUSE TAMMY, WHO IS ONE OF OUR REPRESENTATIVES, HAS BEEN SO HELPFUL TO THE STAFF.
HEATHER'S DONE AN AMAZING JOB.
WE HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS THAT ARE BEING ANSWERED WHERE BEFORE IT JUST FELT LIKE WE WERE CONSISTENTLY GETTING THE RUN AROUND.
I'M EXCITED THE PROCESS OF ENROLLMENT HAS BEEN REALLY EASY, EVEN I WENT INTO THE PORTAL TO SIGN UP AND I WAS LIKE, OH MY GOSH.
I ACTUALLY BOUGHT MORE INSURANCE BECAUSE IT WAS SO EASY.
[LAUGHTER] I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S GOOD OR BAD, BUT IT HAS BEEN A REALLY POSITIVE PROCESS AND WE'VE HAD A LOT OF POSITIVE FEEDBACK.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THAT DECISION.
FOR THE BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR, A COUPLE OF THINGS.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU MIGHT NOTICE IS AS I WAS REDOING THE BUDGET, I WAS REFORMATTING.
ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT WE'VE ALWAYS HAD IN THE AUDIT IS THAT WE DON'T PRESENT OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IN THE SAME WAY THAT OUR AUDITORS LIKE TO SEE THEM, SO I CHANGED THE WAY.
IF YOU GO TO PAGE 18, ANDREA, THIS IS THE WAY THAT OUR AUDITORS PRESENT OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IN OUR AUDIT.
I WANT TO SHOW YOU THAT AND I WANT TO PUT THAT IN HERE BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THEY LIKE TO SEE IT AND I REMOVED THE REVENUE AND EXPENDITURES PAGES THAT WE USED TO HAVE IN THERE.
AS I'VE BEEN REVIEWING AND GOING BACK AND GOING BACK, I'VE MISSED THOSE.
I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO PUT THEM BACK IN AND WE'RE GOING TO SEE THEM BOTH WAYS.
THAT CHANGE, I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY NOTICED THAT, BUT IT'S BEEN HARD TO SEE WHAT THE SALARIES AND THE BENEFITS ARE AND WHAT THE DIFFERENCES ARE FROM LAST YEAR.
JUST SO YOU KNOW, BY NEXT MONTH WE'LL HAVE THOSE BACK IN. LET'S SEE.
ON PAGE 9, THIS AS OUR SUMMARY OF FUNDS.
THROUGH THE WORK WITH THIS AUDITOR, WE'VE REALLY REFINED THIS AND GOTTEN DOWN TO JUST THE FUN TYPES THAT WE NEEDED.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'LL BE WORKING ON WITH OUR OFFICE HOURS THIS YEAR AS WE BRING ON MORE EMPLOYEE HOUSING, IS WE WILL PROBABLY GO BACK TO HAVING AN EMPLOYEE HOUSING FUND, AND THAT MONEY WILL ACT AS AN ENTERPRISE FUND SIMILAR TO FOOD SERVICE AND THE CUBS SO THAT WE CAN HOLD THOSE ARMS OUT, KEEP THAT MONEY AND IT WON'T CONTRIBUTE TO OUR CASH RESERVE DOLLARS AND REALLY IT WILL BE A FUND THAT SUSTAINS ITSELF.
THOSE CAPITAL ASSETS WILL BE REPORTED IN THE EMPLOYEE HOUSING FUND AND THAT MAKES SENSE SPECIFICALLY WITH THE HOUSING THAT WE'RE BUILDING FROM SPAT DOLLARS BECAUSE THAT COULD COME FROM THE STATE AND IT'S NOT PART OF OUR GENERAL FUND ASSETS.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON WHERE WE ARE WITH THIS?
>> JUST LITTLE PROCESS QUESTION OR STATEMENT.
THIS IS FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN THE BUDGET THIS MONTH.
THEN NEXT MONTH ON THE 19TH, WE WILL HAVE THE BUDGET HEARING WHERE THIS IS APPROVED.
[00:30:01]
WHAT IF YOU SEE ANYTHING IN HERE BETWEEN NOW AND THEN?>> I CAN CREATE A SUMMARY OF CHANGES SIMILAR TO THE WAY I DO WITH COMPENSATION PACKAGE.
FROM THIS VERSION TO THE NEXT, I'LL CREATE A SUMMARY OF CHANGES FOR ANYTHING THAT CHANGES FROM HERE TO THEN.
THEN WE'LL ALSO HAVE THE DETAIL AS REQUESTED AND PASTURES OF THE LINE ITEM ACCOUNTS.
ONE OF THE CHANGES THAT I MADE WITH THAT, AND IT'S NOT QUITE THERE YET, IS TO HAVE A FULL SEVEN YEARS; THREE YEARS OF HISTORY, THREE YEARS OF FUTURE PREDICTIONS, AND THEN THE FY24 BUDGET IN THERE AS WELL.
>> THE COMPENSATION PACKAGE THAT WE APPROVED LAST MONTH, IT'S ALREADY INCORPORATED INTO THE STRAP BUDGET?
>> THE COMPENSATION PORTION IS COMPLETED?
>> IT IS. THE FINAL DOLLARS DON'T GET APPROVED UNTIL YOU APPROVE THE JULY BUDGET.
THIS BUDGET HAS BEEN PREPARED WITH A ONE-STEP INCREASE FOR ALL STAFF AND THEN THE TWO-STEP INCREASE FOR THE CLASSIFIED NON-ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF.
>> OTHER REPORTS. THE TRUSTEES, LAST WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7TH, SUPERINTENDENT CHAPMAN, TRUANCY OFFICER CHARLOTTE AND I TRAVELED TO BUFFALO TO TESTIFY IN FRONT OF THE FACILITIES COMMISSION REGARDING GETTING THE FUNDING FOR THE BRONCO CHILDREN CENTER.
WE'VE ACTUALLY MOVED DOWN ON THE LIST OF PRIORITIES TO GET OUR 22 MILLION PLUS OR MINUS.
DR. CHAPMAN DID A TREMENDOUS JOB ONCE AGAIN, PROVIDING INFORMATION SHOWING THAT PROCESS THEY USE IS BASED ON BIRTH RATES AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ENROLLEES AND THAT THEY DON'T TAKE INTO ANY ACCOUNT THE GROWTH OF HOUSING THAT'S GOING ON HERE.
AS ALL OF OUR RECORDS SHOW, OUR CLASS SIZE ACTUALLY INCREASES IN SIZE SO THEY GET AWAY FROM KINDERGARTEN.
I THINK DR. CHAPMAN CAN DO US A REALLY GOOD SUMMARY, SHE'S BEEN DOING SUMMARIES.
>> CORRECT, YES. THANK YOU TRUSTEES.
AS YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON PLANS SINCE OUR LAST MOST COST-EFFECTIVE REMEDY STUDY, WHICH WAS IN 2018.
THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS DONE EVERYTHING WE POSSIBLY CAN DO, INCLUDING NUMEROUS REMEDIATIONS THAT WE'VE ALREADY APPLIED.
THE PRESENTATION IS LISTED THERE ALONG WITH MY NOTES.
I DON'T OMIT SOMETHING IMPORTANT.
I TEND TO TYPE OUT EVERYTHING.
I ALSO SHARED THIS VERSION WITH THE COMMISSIONER, THE COMMISSION THAT HEARD THIS.
THEY HAVE THIS AVAILABLE AS WELL.
OF COURSE, WE DIDN'T COVER IT ALL BECAUSE WE WERE ONLY GIVEN 15 MINUTES.
HOWEVER, I DO WANT TO BRIEFLY POINT OUT THAT WE HAVE DONE EVERYTHING WE POSSIBLY CAN DO AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT, THAT WE CAN ACCESS.
WE'VE DONE THIS STEP, SO 16.5 MILLION WAS APPROVED BY THE VOTERS IN NOVEMBER.
WE HAVE CLOSED OUT OF COUNTY AND FROM IT, WE HAVE REMOVED LOCKERS TO WIDEN THE HALLWAYS AND TO CREATE SMALL ACADEMIC SPACES.
WE'VE REMOVED COMPUTER LABS TO CREATE ACADEMIC SPACES.
WE SHARE THREE SCIENCE LABS AMONGST NINE TEACHERS.
TEACHERS SHARE CLASSROOMS. CLASSROOMS ARE CROWDED AND OVER THE STATE CAPACITY.
WE'VE REDUCED THE DAILY CLASS PERIODS FROM 7-5.
WE'VE CONVERTED THE LIBRARY INTO CLASSROOM WITH SMALL MEETING SPACES.
WE'VE CREATED A CULINARY LAB OUT OF THE CAFETERIA.
OUR STUDENTS EAT ON THE FLOORS, OR IN THE HALLWAYS OR OUTSIDE THROUGH APPROPRIATE WEATHER DAYS.
WE'VE INCREASED THE LUNCH PERIODS TO PROVIDE MORE SPACE, WHICH INCREASE THE STAFFING COSTS TO SERVE THE MEALS.
WE'VE REQUESTED TO BE A PART OF A PILOT TO CREATE FLEXIBLE LEARNING PATHWAYS FOR STUDENTS THROUGH THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE.
I'VE ALREADY MENTIONED THE SPEC VOWEL.
THE ONLY ARROW LEFT IN OUR QUIVER, ASSUMING THAT THE ADDITIONAL HOUSING IS GOING TO GENERATE THE PREDICTED 400 STUDENTS TO OUR SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
WE HAVE 1,000 UNITS COMING ONLINE IN THIS CALENDAR YEAR.
WE PREDICT USING THE 0.5-0.75 HOUSING RATIO THAT WILL GENERATE 400 STUDENTS.
[00:35:05]
WE WILL BE OVER-CAPACITY.THE ONLY ARROW LEFT IN OUR QUIVER IS GOING TO BE AN UNPOPULAR DECISION BECAUSE THAT EDUCATIONAL FACILITY, THE FACILITY AT JACKSONVILLE HIGH SCHOOL, THE BUS FOREIGNER, DOES NOT SUPPORT THE EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS BASED ON STATE STATUTE 211101.
THE ONLY ARROW LEFT OUR QUIVER WOULD BE THAT YOU ALL CAN CONTROL IS TO REDUCE THE GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS.
BUT WE DO NOT HAVE THE SPACE THAT IS REQUIRED FOR SPECIALLY DESIGNED CAREER IN TECHNICAL EDUCATION COURSES.
WE DON'T HAVE THE SPACE REQUIRED FOR THE ELECTIVES.
REALLY THE ONLY THING WE CAN DO IS TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF REQUIRED CREDITS, WHICH WE ALREADY EXCEED THE STATE REQUIREMENTS.
BUT THAT'S ALL WE HAVE LEFT ABSENT SOME REMEDY FROM MISTAKES.
THE OTHER CHALLENGE HERE IS THE STATE'S PROCESS IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT ALL THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND THERE ARE NO OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THE RAPID GROWTH THAT WE ARE.
THE MOST COST-EFFECTIVE REMEDY STUDIES WHEN YOU START ONE.
FOR EXAMPLE, WE STARTED ONE 2015 TO EXAMINE THE ELEMENTARY CAPACITY.
MUNGER MOUNTAIN OPENED IN 2018.
THAT WAS THAT WAS ON TIME AND UNDER BUDGET.
IT TOOK THREE YEARS FROM THE TIME WE SAY, HERE'S THE PROBLEM TO THE REMEDY.
JACKSONVILLE MIDDLE SCHOOL, WE START WITH THE MOST COST-EFFECTIVE REMEDY STUDY FOR SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN 2018.
WE DID SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION DECEMBER OF 2022 FOR A $2.7 MILLION RENOVATION TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOL THAT'S FOUR YEARS REACTORS.
WHEN OUR STUDENTS ARRIVE, WE HAVE NO OTHER OPTIONS REMAINING TO OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT ABSENT SOME REMEDY THAT WHERE THE EDUCATIONAL SPACE AT HIGH SCHOOL, IT'S THE SAME CONCERN THAT WE HAVE FOR TRANSPORTATION AND MAINTENANCE FACILITY.
IT IS INADEQUATE TO PROVIDE THE PROGRAMMING.
WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS IT'S UNDERSIZED FOR THE NUMBER OF BUSES, THE CLIMATE HERE, THE REQUIREMENTS FOR OUR MECHANICS IN ORDER TO KEEP OUR BUS FLEET GOING.
IT'S TRULY THEY WORK MAGIC TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
BUT THERE ARE CERTAIN CONDITIONS WITHIN THAT FACILITY DUE TO ITS AGE AND ITS SIZE THAT MAKE IT INAPPROPRIATE.
IF WE CAN'T GET THE BUSES TO START BECAUSE WHAT WE'RE ABLE TO ROTATE THE BEST IS REALLY ONLY TWO BASE THAT WE HAVE.
THEN WE CAN'T GET OUR RIDERSHIP OUT AND OUR BUSES TRAVEL 3,500 MILES DAILY.
WE HAVE ONE OF THE HIGHEST BUS RIDER SHIFTS IN THE STATE.
WE HAVE SOME SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS AND AGAIN, WE DIVE AGAIN, WE CAN THERE INCLUDING THE WALKING BEST ROUTE, EAST JACKSON.
INSTEAD OF HAVING AN ACTUAL SCHOOL BUS, WE HAVE A WALKING BUS DRIVER, AND THAT HAS HELPED US THE SITUATION, BUT WE HAVE TRULY NOTHING LEFT THAT WE CAN DO.
EVERYTHING ELSE IS CONTINGENT UPON THIS.
IT APPEARS THAT THERE'S JUST NO APPETITE TO DO IT BECAUSE THE RULES THEY'RE TRYING TO APPLY JUST AREN'T NIMBLE AND THEY DO NOT TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT.
IT WAS A FRUSTRATING MEETING THAT WE JUST DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF HOPE FOR THAT.
I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THE BOARDS AWARE OF IT AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE FOR ME AND GIVE ME ANY DIRECTION FOR OUR NEXT STEPS.
>> START WITH THE BUS BARN SITUATION BEFORE THE MEETING AND AFTER THE MEETING.
WHERE DO WE BELIEVE WE WERE GOING TO BE ON THE LIST FOR BUS BARN REPLACEMENT?
THE STATE CONSTRUCTION DEPARTMENT OR FACILITIES FIRM IS SUPPOSED TO UPDATE THE CONDITION LIST, THEY HADN'T SINCE 2016.
IN 2016, THEY SEPARATE SCHOOLS FROM SUPPORT FACILITIES.
THE BUS BARN WAS LISTED NUMBER 3 AS
[00:40:02]
A SUPPORT FACILITY IN TERMS OF MOST NEED FOR REPLACEMENT IN 2016, THE ONLY TWO BUILDINGS AHEAD OF US, WE'RE NOW IN 2023 HAVE ALREADY BEEN TORN DOWN.THEY DON'T EVEN EXIST ANYMORE.
IN 2023 STANDARDS, WE SHOULD BE NUMBER 1.
EVEN THOUGH THE DRAFT REPORT FROM THE CONSULTANTS THEY'VE BROUGHT IN CALLED BUREAU VERITAS, INDICATED THAT AND THEY ADMITTED ESSENTIALLY THE BEST FOREIGN IS A COMPLETE REBUILD.
WE'RE NOW NUMBER 5 ON THE LIST.
I DON'T KNOW HOW WE GO FROM ESSENTIALLY NUMBER 1 WITH THREE DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU LOOK AT IT, TO NUMBER 5.
THE OTHER CONCERN ABOUT THAT BUREAU VERITAS REPORT IS THEY SIMPLY LOOKED AT REPLACING WHAT YOU HAVE.
THEY DID NOT EXAMINE AT ALL THE APPROPRIATENESS OF WHAT YOU HAVE FOR YOUR CURRENT CONDITIONS.
WHAT WE HAVE WAS BUILT IN 1976 FOR ABOUT 10 BUSES.
NOW, IT'S TWO BASE WITH ONE WASH FACILITY.
THERE IS NO PIT UNDERNEATH IT, SO IT'S NOT HIGH ENOUGH THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY SAFELY RAISE THE BUS FOR MECHANICS TO WORK UNDERNEATH.
THERE'S NOT ENOUGH SPACE TO WORK ON THE FRONT END AND THE BACK END AT THE SAME TIME WITHOUT OPENING THE DOORS.
VENTILATION IS A CONCERN, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE OUR MECHANICS AGAIN ON THROUGH THE LEADERSHIP OF COLBY BED WORKS AND OUR BUSES ARE SAFE.
HOWEVER, IT IS DEFINITELY INHIBITING EFFICIENCY AND OUR ABILITY TO OPERATE THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM.
WHAT WE SHOULD HAVE, WHAT'S BEEN RECOMMENDED IS A SIX DAY WITH PITS UNDERNEATH THAT ARE DUG UNDER APPROPRIATE HEIGHT.
WHEN THE BUSES DO NEED TO BE RAISED FOR WHATEVER REASON, THERE'S ENOUGH HEIGHT AND THE DEPTH IS APPROPRIATE AND THEN HAVE A WASH BAY SEPARATE.
THERE'S NO RISK OF ELECTROCUTION, FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN WORKING ON A BUS AND TRYING TO WASH RIGHT NEXT TO IT.
THE CONDITION OF THE BUS BARN IS IN NEED OF IMMEDIATE REPLACEMENT.
ACTUALLY SITTING THROUGH THE MEETING LAST WEDNESDAY, I BECAME MORE ALARMED.
I WAS ALREADY CONCERNED ABOUT IT, BUT I BECAME MORE ALARMED WHEN WE QUESTIONED.
WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY, WHICH WAS THE CHAIR OF THE COMMISSION, GAVE AUDIENCE OR PARTICIPANTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO QUESTION THE EXPERTS, AND WHICH WAS QUITE GRACIOUS.
THAT'S REALLY WHEN MY ALARM WAS RAISED EVEN HIGHER, THAT I WAS WILLING TO WAIT FOR THE STATE TO FIGURE OUT THEIR PROCESS.
BUT WHEN I READ AND HEARD FROM THEM HOW BAD IT WAS AND THEN SAW THAT.
I WAS CONFIDENT WE WOULD BE NUMBER 1.
REALLY THERE'S NO APPETITE BY THE COMMISSION TO SUPPORT ANCILLARY FACILITIES.
I CONSIDERED ADDING KINDERGARTEN OVER AT THE BEST FAR SO THAT IT COMES IN EDUCATIONAL SPACE.
[LAUGHTER] IT DIDN'T SEEM LIKE THAT WAS THE BEST THING FOR KIDS EITHER.
IT'S BACK ON HIGH NEED FOR US AND I THINK WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO PURSUE EVERY AVENUE.
I KNOW THAT THEY'RE FRUSTRATED WITH ME PERSONALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY.
I KNOW I'VE WORN THEM OUT, BUT THAT'S MY JOB.
I'M HERE TO ADVOCATE JUST LIKE YOU ARE FOR THE KIDS IN OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR KIDS ARE NOT HAVING AN EQUITABLE OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE WE CANNOT OFFER THE COURSES THAT OTHER FORAY SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE ABLE TO OFFER.
IT'S A REQUIREMENT OF THE STATE CONSTITUTION.
I THINK WE HAVE REALLY NO OTHER REMEDY EXCEPT TO CONTINUE TO VOICE OUR CONCERNS AND SEEK THE FUNDING THAT OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR STUDENTS DESERVE.
>> THANK YOU FOR THAT, GILLIAN.
WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOU CONTINUING TO BADGER THEM TO DEATH.
SQUEAKY WHEEL GETS THE GREASE AS WE ALL KNOW.
I'M HOPEFUL THAT THEY'LL COME AROUND AND GIVE US THE MONEY FOR A NEW SCHOOL.
I'VE NEVER HEARD OF ANOTHER SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THE STATE.
I HAVE TO DO A LITTLE RESEARCH ON THIS.
BUT SINCE THE STATE STARTED BUILDING SCHOOL BUILDINGS, I'D NEVER HEARD OF ANOTHER SCHOOL DISTRICT KICKING IN 43 PERCENT OF THE COST OF, YOU KNOW.
IT'S UNPRECEDENTED THAT OUR COMMUNITY WOULD.
I THINK THIS IS IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO KICK IN
[00:45:02]
43 PERCENT OF THE COST WHEN THE STATE IS OF GOOD AND BUILT FOR US.CHAIRMAN. SPIRAL TO CHARLOTTE REYNOLDS AND GILLIAN.
HELLO. YOU WON'T BE VERY PROFESSIONAL AND YOU PRESENT THE COUNTY EXTREMELY WELL.
I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS JUST REAL QUICK.
IF I RECALL CORRECTLY, DURING THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION, THERE WAS FUNDING AVAILABLE.
LEGISLATURE HAD ACTUALLY PUT OUR SCHOOL DISTRICTS NAME INTO THE BILL AND THEN MY UNDERSTANDING, THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH THROUGH THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, BRIDGET HILL, INSTRUCTED THE LEGISLATURE TO REMOVE OUR NAME FROM THE BILL.
THE FUNDING STILL WENT THROUGH JUST NOT TO US.
THAT THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH WAS SPECIFICALLY SAYING, DON'T GIVE THE MONEY TO TETON COUNTY.
IS THAT WHAT YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT OCCURRED?
>> YES. CHAIRMAN SCARLETT AND TRUSTEE GILLIAN, THE SELECT MEDIAN SCHOOL FACILITIES IN OCTOBER OF 2022 RECOMMENDED TO THE JOINT APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE AND TO THE GOVERNOR, THAT TETON COUNTY RECEIVE 60 MILLION FOR THE BUS BARN REPLACEMENT AND 21.8 MILLION FOR THE COMPLETION OF THE BROCK ACHIEVEMENT CENTER AND THEN THERE IS A WYOMING EDUCATION ASSOCIATION LAWSUIT, AND DUE TO THE FEAR OF THAT LAWSUIT, WHICH WE ARE NOT A PARTY TO THEY WERE INSTRUCTED TO PULL OFF THE NAMES OF LARAMIE COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT WAS ALSO MENTIONED AS THE RECIPIENT OF THIS HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS BETWEEN TETON COUNTY AND LARAMIE COUNTY.
THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH RECOMMENDED PULLING UP THE NAMES OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND FORWARDING THE FUNDING TO THE COMMISSION TO ALLOCATE.
THE COMMISSION LAST WEEK THROUGH THEIR RULES, HAVE DECIDED THEY'RE GOING TO USE FIVE MILLION TO DO MOST COST-EFFECTIVE REMEDY STUDIES FOR A CERTAIN NUMBER OF SCHOOLS THAT EITHER WERE AT 100 PERCENT CAPACITY ALREADY OR THROUGH THIS BUREAU VERITAS REPORT RAISED ABOVE, CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT THE NUMBER WAS, BUT RAISED TO THE LEVEL OF NEEDING SOME REMEDY.
ONLY THOSE SCHOOL DISTRICTS WOULD GET THE MOST COST-EFFECTIVE REMEDY STEADY, AND THEN BASED ON THOSE REMEDIES, THEN THEY WOULD ALLOCATE 95 MILLION TO WHATEVER THAT IS MOST COST EFFECTIVE REMEDIES MIGHT BE.
SO $100 MILLION THAT WAS INTENDED TO GO TO TETON COUNTY AND LARAMIE COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICTS NOW ARE BEING USED FOR OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS, AND ACCORDING TO THOSE SUPERINTENDENTS, THAT AT LEAST ONE OF THEM THAT IS NOW GOING TO GET ANOTHER COST-EFFECTIVE REMEDY STUDY.
YOUR RESPONSE WAS, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY THIS IS ON THE LIST.
THIS SCHOOL DOES NOT NEED ANYTHING.
AS A LOCAL SUPERINTENDENT, THIS IS A WASTE OF MONEY TO DO AND MOST COST-EFFECTIVE REMEDY STUDY FOR A SCHOOL THAT NEEDS NOTHING THERE.
ANYWAY, THERE'S A LOT OF DETAIL WITH THAT, BUT IT'S FRUSTRATING THAT THE LOCAL SCHOOL BOARDS AND THE LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS KNOW THEIR COMMUNITIES BEST, AND THE DEPARTMENT, THROUGH THIS COMPANY OUT OF WHEREVER IS SAYING, OH NO, WE'RE GOING TO STUDY THIS.
IT'S JUST REALLY A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY, AND SO TETON COUNTY IS GETTING NOTHING THROUGH THIS, AND BECAUSE OF THOSE COST-EFFECTIVE REMEDY TO STUDY.
THE CURRENT PROCESS HAS NO MECHANISM TO STUDY ALL THE CURRENT HOUSING THAT IS OPENING UP RIGHT NOW.
WE WILL NEVER RISE TO THAT LEVEL.
THE OTHER ISSUE IS THEY'RE ONLY LOOKING AT SCHOOLS THAT ARE AT 100 PERCENT CAPACITY, AND I TAKE ISSUE WITH THE WAY THEY'VE CALCULATED IT AS THEY SAY, WE'RE AT 86 PERCENT CAPACITY RIGHT NOW, AND WHAT I HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT, FOR EXAMPLE, THEY SAY THE CAPACITY OF A GYM IS 125 STUDENTS.
TRUE? I CAN GET 125 KIDS IN THE GYM, BUT I CAN ONLY HAVE 25 BOYS AND 25 GIRLS DRESSING OUT AT ONCE.
I'VE GOT 75 SEATS THAT I CAN'T FILL BUT THAT IS GOING SO THEY SAY YOU HAVE 125 SEATS BY PERIODS OF THE DAY.
THAT GOES TOWARD YOUR TOTAL ENROLLMENT PLUS ALL THE CHANGES THAT WE'VE MADE TAKING OUT LOCKERS THAT HURT US.
THEY'RE SAYING YOUR CAPACITY IS 1,006 KIDS.
WELL, SURE I GUESS, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THE HALLWAYS ARE APPROPRIATE.
[00:50:01]
THERE ARE ONLY SIX FEET IN MOST OF THE HALLWAYS WHICH IS INADEQUATE FOR THE STUDENT BODY.WE'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT ALL THE DEFICIENCIES THAT ARE IN THAT FACILITY.
BUT THAT GYM ISSUE AND THE LOCKER ROOM ISSUE IS HUGE AND THAT REALLY HURTS US.
>> MR. CHAIRMAN, MY SECOND QUESTION.
I UNDERSTAND THE COMMISSION IS CONCERNED THAT TETON COUNTY AND LARAMIE COUNTY, AND PARTICULARLY, WE'RE GOING AROUND THEM OR AROUND THE SYSTEM AND GOING TO THE LEGISLATURE TO REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT.
BUT RATHER, [INAUDIBLE] [LAUGHTER] IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY'VE ALLOWED OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO GO AROUND THEM.
THE FREMONT COUNTY WITH REVERTED NEW AUDITORIUMS AND THE $40,000,000 10 SLEEP SCHOOL BEING BUILT FOR SOUNDS LIKE MAYBE 100 KIDS.
WE BIOBANK, WE BUILT MONGER FOR 24 MILLION.
THEY'RE BUILDING A SCHOOL 40 MILLION INTENSELY.
ALL WENT AROUND THE CONDITION.
IS THAT YOUR UNDERSTANDING ALSO?
>> YES. CHAIRMAN SCARLETT AND TRUSTEE GILLIAN. THAT IS CORRECT.
THERE ARE NUMEROUS EXAMPLES WHERE FACILITIES HAVE BEEN BUILT ABSENT THIS ARDUOUS PROCESS.
>> SUPERINTENDENT CHAPMAN, WHO MAYBE YOU HAVEN'T ANSWERED, DID THIS TO.
THE COUNTY COMMISSION, FOR EXAMPLE, IF A PERSON WANTS TO PROPOSE A RULE OR A COMMISSIONER ROLE, THERE'S A PROCESS WHEREBY THE PUBLIC CAN DO THAT.
IS THERE THAT SAME PROCESS FOR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENCY? I THINK ALMOST I USED TO BE AN ADMINISTRATIVE LAWYER AND SHOULD BE. [LAUGHTER]
>> BUT MOST ADMINISTRATIVE AGENCIES HAVE THAT PROCESS WHERE YOU CAN PROPOSE A RULE.
I'M ASKING THIS BECAUSE I WOULD SUGGEST THAT THIS IS NOT GOING TO GO AWAY BY TETON COUNTY IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS GROWTH SHOWS THAT EVEN THOUGH IT MAY NOT HELP US IN THE NEXT SIX MONTHS, WE MIGHT BE WISE TO PROPOSE A RULE THAT REQUIRES THEM TO LOOK AT THIS HOUSING ISSUE WITH ALL THE DEPARTMENTS COMING ON AND LOOK AT WHAT'S BEEN APPROVED IN THE PLANNING PROCESS IN EACH COUNTY AND THAT THEY HAVE TO CONSIDER THAT AS WELL SO THAT WE'RE NOT STUCK IN THIS CYCLE OF HAVING THEM NEVER TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION SO I COULDN'T REALLY I BET IT WOULD BE ON CONTROVERTED BY ANYBODY BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT LARAMIE COUNTY IS.
THEY'RE GROWING QUICKLY, BUT EVERYBODY ELSE IN WYOMING, THEY WON'T CARE.
THEY'RE NOT GROWING AND SHRINKING.
I'M WONDERING IF WE COULD DO THAT.
>> I JUST THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA THAT WE WORKING [OVERLAPPING] WE COULD DRAFT PROPOSED RULES AND SUBMIT THAT TO THE COMMISSION SAYING STILL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT BIRTH RATES BUT ALSO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT OTHER FACTORS.
WE GROW LATER AT THE VIDEO MOST COMMUNITIES AND STARTING KINDERGARTEN AND THEY MATRICULATE TOGETHER, WE SEEM TO BE FINDING A LOT OF GROWTH THAT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND INTO THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL THAT WE'RE NOT SEEING AT THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL.
IT'D BE NICE IF WE COULD TAKE INTO ACCOUNT IT'S BECAUSE PEOPLE MOVE HERE AND THEY BRING KIDS THAT THEY ALREADY HAVE [LAUGHTER].CAPACITY IS ASSUMING THAT ALL CHILDREN THAT WE WON'T GET TO BRINGING WITH YOU WAIT TO GET HERE TO HELP, WHICH MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO LOGICAL SENSE.
I APPLAUD TRUSTEE NEEDS SUGGESTION, AND I THINK THAT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING WE SHOULD DO.
NOT TO BE FLIPPANT BUT I THINK MY FRUSTRATION, I THINK THE FRUSTRATION OF MANY IN THIS COMMUNITY IS THAT WE HAVE EXTREMELY HIGH PROPERTY TAXES.
THE MAJORITY OF OUR PROPERTY TAXES LEAVE OUR COMMUNITY.
I DON'T DISAGREE WITH THE SYSTEM.
I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THAT THE REST OF THE STATE NEEDS TO BE EQUALLY FUNDED.
WE'RE FUNDING THE REST OF THE STATE.
US IN CONVERSE COUNTY, AND SUBLETTE COUNTY, WE'RE THE ONES FUNDING EVERYBODY SO $89 MILLION,
[00:55:03]
WE'LL LEAVE THIS COUNTY AND GO TO BE DISTRIBUTED TO OTHER COUNTIES.NOT SAYING THAT'S WRONG, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IT'S GOT TO BE A FAIR SYSTEM.
THEN WHEN WE MEET A BUS BARN, WE NEED EXPANSION TO THE HIGH SCHOOL THAT THEY HAVE A FAIR SYSTEM, A SYSTEM THAT MAKES LOGICAL SENSE, AND THAT I GET THIS COMMISSION AS THEIR NOSE OUT OF JOINT A LITTLE BIT.
BUT SOMEHOW SOMEONE'S GOT TO STEP IN.
I WOULD URGE, MY UNDERSTANDING OF THIS COMMISSION IS CONTROLLED BY THE GOVERNOR.
IF THE GOVERNOR COULD PLEASE STEP IN AND REIGN IN THIS CONDITION, DOES THIS SEEMS TO BE A ROPE BOARD? IF THE GOVERNOR COULD ASSIST US, THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL.
>> JUST TO TACK ON TO KEEP UP THE $89 FOR SENDING BACK CONVERSE AND SUBLETTE OR THE ONLY OTHER TWO COUNTIES.
WELL, WE ARE THE ONLY COUNTY WHERE EVERY PERSON SITTING IN THIS ROOM ACTUALLY PAYS THE TAX, WHETHER YOU'RE A HOMEOWNER OR YOU'RE A RENTER, YOU ARE PAYING OR YOU'RE FINDING THINGS THAT ARE GROCERY STORE, EVERYTHING IS INFLATED HERE BECAUSE WE'RE ALL PAYING THE PROPERTY TAX ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.
THAT IS VERY DIFFERENT THAN CAMPBELL HAS IN THE PAST, BECAUSE IT'S JUST BLACK OIL COMING OUT OF THE GROUND AND CONVERSE HAS TODAY AND EVEN SUBLETTE WITH THEIR NATURAL GAS FIELDS.
IT'S THE GAS EXTRACTIONS, IT'S THE MINERAL RESOURCES.
THIS IS ALL ON US INDIVIDUALS.
THEY DON'T KNOW, IT ISN'T EQUITABLE.
[OVERLAPPING] YOU WANT TO GO INTO THE EMERGENCY RULES?
>> YES. THERE ARE SOME EMERGENCY RULES THAT THEY PUT IN PLACE, AND SO WHAT I THINK I'M HEARING FROM THE BOARD MAY APPLY TO ONE OF THE EMERGENCY RULES, WHICH IS CHAPTER 3, SECTION 8.
ESSENTIALLY, IF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES DETERMINES THAT THE EDUCATIONAL SPACE AT THE HIGH SCHOOL AND THE BEST FARM IS INADEQUATE FOR THE PROGRAMS REQUIRED BY THE STATE STATUTE, THEN I WILL SUBMIT A LETTER OF THE DEFICIENCIES AND PROPOSED REMEDIES TO THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE CONSTRUCTION.
HOPEFULLY, THEY WILL THEN ASSIGN THAT WE DO GET IN MOST COST-EFFECTIVE REMEDY STUDY, AND THEN AT THE SAME THING, I BELIEVE I'M HEARING, THAT WE SHOULD EXAMINE A PROPOSED RULE TO LOOK AT HOUSING AS AN INDICATOR OF CAPACITY THROUGH THE MOST COST-EFFECTIVE REMEDY.
>> I'M SORRY, THERE ARE COMMENTS DOWN HERE [INAUDIBLE]
>> WHAT I KNOW. [OVERLAPPING] WE'RE AGREEING WHERE-
>> EVERYONE'S OKAY WITH HER DRAFTING THAT LETTER TO SEND?
DO WE NEED TO ADD THAT TO THE AGENDA TO OFFICIALLY VOTE YOU TO USE THAT EMERGENCY RULE?
>> THE EMERGENCY RULE ISN'T TERRIBLY CLEAR, BUT IT DOES SAY THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, DEAN, THE EDUCATIONAL SPACE IS INADEQUATE FOR THE PROGRAM REQUIRED.
THEN THAT IMMEDIATELY TRIGGERS THE SUPERINTENDENT TO WRITE A LETTER.
>> WE COULD ADD THAT TO THE AGENDA WHERE SOMEONE COULD MAKE THE MOTION THAT WE DEEM THAT IT'S NOT LIKE I SAID SHE WAS USING AN INSTRUCTOR TO SEND A LETTER.
JUST LAST ITEM ON WHATEVER THE NUMBER OF THE ACTION IS.
>> THE LAST UNDER NUMBER 6, AND THEN THE MOTION SUCH AS PARLIAMENTARIAN GURU, DO WE HAVE TO MAKE A MOTION RIGHT HERE? [OVERLAPPING]
>> THAT LANGUAGE IS, I WOULD SAY I MOVE APPROVAL FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT TO WRITE A LETTER TO THE COMMISSION INDICATING THAT THE EDUCATIONAL SPACE AT THE HIGH-SCHOOL AND THE BEST FARM IS INADEQUATE FOR THE PROGRAM AS REQUIRED BY WYOMING STATUTE 211101.
>> MR. CHAIRMAN, I WOULD JUST MOVE TO ADD TO THE ACTION ITEMS A NUMBER 6, TO TAKE UP THIS CONSIDERATION OF UTILIZING THE EMERGENCY RULES TO SEND A LETTER TO THE COMMISSION,
[01:00:04]
AND WE'LL TAKE THAT UP WHEN WE GET TO THAT ITEM.>> TO GET ALL THAT UNDER [LAUGHTER]
>> IS IT SECOND TO APPROVE THE SUPERINTENDENT TO WRITE A LETTER.
>> TO ADD MOTION AND TO ADD SIX TO THE DESCRIBED AS SPOKEN.
>> ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY AYE.
>> ANY OPPOSE? [INAUDIBLE] SEVEN O'CLOCK. YES.
>> SORRY. UNDER OTHER REPORTS, WE WERE GOING TO HAVE ANDREA DOMBROWSKI DO A VERY SHORT DEMONSTRATION FOR HOW THE PUBLIC CAN JOIN A BOARD MEETING TO DO PUBLIC COMMENT OR TO JUST VIEW.
THERE'S TWO WAYS SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE DIDN'T MISS THAT.
ANDREA IS VERY EXCITED TO SHARE THAT.
>> SHE HAS BEEN WORKING ON THIS [LAUGHTER]
>> YOU CAN START. CAN WE GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE. THIS IS GOOD.
IT'LL ALSO BE POSTED ON OUR WEBSITE SO EVERYONE CAN HAVE ACCESS TO IT.
THAT'S RIGHT FROM OUR WEBSITE AND YOU CAN WATCH A LIVE BOARD MEETING.
YOU CAN ALSO WATCH PREVIOUSLY RECORDED ONES FROM THAT SAME WEB PAGE AND THAT'S LISTED THERE.
THEN YOU CAN ATTEND VIRTUALLY.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIVE STREAMING AND ATTENDING VIRTUALLY, BASICALLY IS THAT WHEN YOU LIVE STREAM, YOU'RE JUST WATCHING THE MOVIE BUT WHEN YOU ATTEND VIRTUALLY YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE PUBLIC COMMENT.
THE TENDON PERSON THAT WE JUST PUT ON THERE THAT WE NORMALLY HOLD THEM ON THE SECOND WEDNESDAY OF EACH MONTH AT 06:00 PM UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED AND THE WEB ADDRESS HERE IS JUST FOR THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES WEB PAGE ON OUR WEBSITE.
IT GIVES ALL THE INFORMATION FOR THE BOARD.
TO LIVE STREAM THE MEETING, OUR WEBSITE PAGE IS LISTED THERE AND WATCH LIVE, OR YOU CAN VIEW PAST MEETINGS.
THE NEXT SLIDE. TO ATTEND VIRTUALLY VIA WEBEX THERE'S TWO OPTIONS.
YOU CAN SIGN UP BY EMAILING ME AT BOEMEETINGNOTICE@TCSD.ORG AND THIS WILL ACTUALLY SEND A MONTHLY EMAIL NOTICE OF THE MEETINGS COMING UP.
YOU'LL ALSO GET THE LINK TO REGISTER.
THE EMAILS ON THE LEFT THERE, AND THEN ON THE RIGHT IS HOW YOU REGISTER.
IT ALSO GIVES YOU ACCESS TO BOARD DOCS THAT YOU CAN GO IN AND REVIEW THE AGENDA.
IF WE GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE YOU CAN ALSO VIRTUALLY ATTEND BY VISITING BOARD DOCS AND ON THE MEETING ITSELF YOU'LL SEE THAT THE WEB ADDRESS WITHIN THE COMMENTS ON THE MAIN PAGE AND IF YOU COPY THAT WEB ADDRESS AND PASTE IT INTO A WEB, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO ATTEND VIRTUALLY.
THAT ALSO GIVES YOU ACCESS TO BE ABLE TO DO PUBLIC COMMENT VIRTUALLY AS WELL.
WHENEVER THINGS WORKING IN TECHNOLOGY IS ON OUR SIDE.
[LAUGHTER] BUT WE'RE GOING TO STICK WITH WEBEX AND YOU REALIZE THE PROGRAM THAT WE ALREADY HAVE IN THE BOARD ROOMS SO WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT AND WE JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THAT THERE'S DIFFERENT WAYS YOU CAN ATTEND. ANY QUESTIONS?
>> THIS WILL BE HOSTED SOMEWHERE ON OUR HOME PAGE.
IS DIRECTIONS, REALLY EASY TO ACCESS?
>> ANYBODY CAN ACCESS JUST FOR THE TCSD.ORG?
>> TCSD.ORG IS RIGHT ON THE MAIN PAGE THEN.
>> BE IN THE NEWS [INAUDIBLE].
>> IT SHOULD ALREADY BE UP THERE. YES.
>> ANDREA, DID THE REQUEST FOR REGISTRATION PUMP TO YOU OR DID THEY GO TO SOME ORGANIZATIONS SOMEWHERE OUTSIDE TETON COUNTY?
>> NO. ACTUALLY, WHEN YOU SIGN UP TO GET THE MONTHLY NOTICE, EMAILS AND YOU HIT READ, THE EMAIL, COME DIRECTLY TO YOUR INBOX THEN.
BUT BECAUSE YOU'RE A PANELIST FOR THE BOARD MEETING, YOU WILL NOT HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY.
>> I KNOW. I AM JUST ASKING BECAUSE BEFORE I BECAME A PANEL,
[01:05:05]
[LAUGHTER] I USED TO TRY TO GET INTO THE BOARD MEETINGS AND IT SEEMED LIKE SOME COMMERCIAL ORGANIZATION OUTSIDE KEEP COMING WITH SAM LIGAND AND THEY WEREN'T ALWAYS PAYING ATTENTION.I WOULD TRY TO SIGN UP AND I'D NEVER HEAR FROM THEM OR WHATEVER.
>> I BELIEVE THAT'S ALL THROUGH WEBEX SO I'M NOT SURE WHEN YOU RECEIVE THE EMAIL AND YOU CLICK REGISTER, IT SHOULD TAKE YOU RIGHT TO THAT PAGE.
I CAN'T REMEMBER. SKIP FORWARD.
THIS IS THE EMAIL THAT'S BEING THERE.
THIS IS EMAIL EVERYONE WILL GET IT THAT'S ACTUALLY SIGNED UP SO WITHIN THEY REGISTER AND IT'LL TAKE IT TO THIS HOME PAGE AND IT SHOULD BE PRETTY SELF-EXPLANATORY EMPHASIS HOME PAGE.
AWESOME DUTIES AND TAXES IN THE AGENDA.
>> YEAH. WEBEX DID A COMPLETE OVERHAUL OF HOW THEY DO MEETINGS.
NOW THIS IS NEW FOR ME AND NEW FOR EVERYBODY ELSE TOO.
>> [INAUDIBLE]. YES. JUST FIRST OF ALL, I THINK IT'S GREAT THAT PUBLIC OUTREACH THAT WE'RE DOING, THAT PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO ATTEND IN-PERSON, PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO JUST WATCH ANONYMOUSLY IF THEY WISH AND NUMBER 2, THEY'RE ABLE TO ENGAGE IN IF THEY WANT TO.
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, I DON'T KNOW IF WE'D SPENT ANY MUCH TIME, JUST EVERYONE FOR THE GREAT NEW WEBSITE.
[LAUGHTER] YOU CAN GET AROUND.
THINGS THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR UNDER THE CATEGORIES THAT YOU WERE THINKING THEY MIGHT BE UNDER.
I JUST FIND THE NEW WEBSITE JUST REALLY WELL DONE IF IT WAS NIGHT AND DAY SO I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THAT WENT INTO THE WEBSITE AND ADDING TO IT AND MORE PUBLIC OUTREACH IT JUST REALLY WELL DONE.
>> YEAH. ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU.
>> LET'S SEE SOME OTHER REPORTS.
SHOULD IT BE A FIVE MINUTE? A FIVE-MINUTE RECESS UNTIL SOMETHING IS DOWN.
[E. Action Items]
[01:14:28]
THIS SESSION.MOVING ON TO ACTION ITEMS, WE SHOULD SEE THAT.
NUMBER ONE ON THE ACTION ITEMS, CONSIDERATION OF SECONDARY POLICIES. DR. JANE.
>> THANK YOU. CHAIRMAN SCARLETT AND TRUSTEES.
THIS IS THE SECOND READ OF THE STUDENT ADMISSIONS POLICIES AND FOR ADMISSION OF NON-RESIDENTS STUDENTS.
WE LOOKED AT THIS STARTING IN APRIL,
[01:15:04]
AND WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY UPDATES TO THIS POLICY SINCE THE FIRST READ IN APRIL.SO THIS IS ON FOR APPROVAL FOR THIS EVENING.
PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM WHICH IS THE APPROVAL OF POLICIES, JF STUDENT ADMISSIONS, JFR STUDENT ADMISSIONS REGULATIONS, JFAD ADMISSION OF NON-RESIDENT STUDENTS.

JFAB ADMISSION OF NON-RESIDENT STUDENTS AS PRESENTED.
ANY COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD? SEEING NONE ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY AYE.
>> ANY OPPOSED? UNANIMOUS. NEXT ITEM ON OUR AGENDA.
CONSIDERATION OF LETTER TO TETON COUNTY COMMISSIONERS TRANSFER TO TRANSFER THE TCS, THE NUMBER 1, SEWARD TO TETON COUNTY IS TRUSTEE GAMERIE'S SUGGESTION OF THE LAST MEETING.
WELL, SUPERINTENDENT [INAUDIBLE].
>> THANK YOU. A POSTED TO BOARD DOCS IS A DRAFT LETTER TO THE TETON COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND TRUSTEES I WANT TO BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION THAT IT WAS INTENDED TO BE FAIRLY GENERAL, IT MAY NOT BE SPECIFIC ENOUGH.
IN FRONT OF YOU, TRUSTEE ZONE MADE SOME EDITS AND IT'S PRINTED IN FRONT OF THE TRUSTEES TO REVIEW.
WE BELIEVE THESE EDITS ARE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT FROM OUR ORIGINAL DRAFT.
I APPRECIATE THE SPECIFICITY PROVIDED BY TRUSTEE ZONE.
AFTER THIS MEETING, WE WILL CERTAINLY POST THIS DRAFT VERSION IF IT MEETS WITH YOUR APPROVAL AND THEN WE WILL SEND THAT TO THE COUNTY COMMISSION.
IF THERE ARE NO OTHER ADDITIONS TO THAT I'VE READ MY VERSION PRINTED IN FRONT OF YOU.
>> DO YOU WANT TO MAKE ANY COMMENTS, TRUSTEE ZONE ABOUT YOUR BUTTER?
>> YEAH. I'LL JUST ADD THAT I JUST ADDED SOME CLARIFICATION TO SOME OF THE STATEMENTS IN THE OPENING PARAGRAPH AND THEN ADDED A LITTLE INFORMATION ABOUT WHY I THINK IT'S REASONS FOR ASKING THE COUNTY TO TAKE ON THE SYSTEM AND WHY WE THINK IT'D BE BEST FOR THE COUNTY AS A WHOLE AND ALSO JUST REASONS FOR PEOPLE THAT TRANS POTENTIAL CANCER.
I ALSO DID DELETE AT THE VERY BOTTOM BECAUSE I THINK AFTER CONSIDERATION, I DON'T THINK THAT DETAILS SHOULD BE WORKED OUT IN THIS LETTER THAT WE COULD WORK THAT OUT LATER AS FAR AS WE KNOW WHETHER, WE DON'T HAVE CONNECTION FEES LATER OR THE PAY FOR THE SYSTEM OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, SO IF THAT HELPS AND LEAVE IT WITH THEM TO THE BOTTOM TO DISCUSS IT.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? SUPERINTENDENT OR TRUSTEE ZONE? YES.
>> I'M OPEN TO ANY SUGGESTIONS. [OVERLAPPING]
>> NO AS WELL, I'M JUST GOING TO SAY THANK YOU [LAUGHTER] [OVERLAPPING] FOR TAKING A LOOK AT THIS, PUTTING INTO YOUR EXPERTISE AND THANK YOU FOR THE TIME AND EFFORT THAT YOU'VE PUT IT INTO THE SUMMARY NOW.
TRUSTEE SCARLETT AS DID A LOT OF THAT AS WELL.
I APPRECIATE YOUR PERSPECTIVE AND TIME.
>> QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR TRUSTEES ZONE ON PUBLIC COMMENT, I'LL OPEN THIS PUBLIC COMMENT ABOUT THE UNDERGROUND SEWER LINE.
ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS, ANYBODY ONLINE WITH PUBLIC ON [LAUGHTER] TRUSTEE ZONE, THEY ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED.
[LAUGHTER] I WOULD TAKE A MOTION AT THIS POINT.
[01:20:07]
>> I MOVE TO APPROVE THE LETTER TO TETON COUNTY COMMISSIONERS TO TRANSFER THE TCSD, NUMBER 1 SEWER TO TETON COUNTY AS PRESENTED WITH THE RED LINE VERSION, IS. [APPLAUSE]
>> MOVED BY TRUSTEE CARLIN AND SECONDED BY TRUSTEE NATE NEED TO APPROVE OF TRUSTEES ZONE AMENDED LETTER TO TETON COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ASKING THE TRANSFER OF THE TCSD NUMBER 1 SEWER LINE TO TETON COUNTY AS PRESENTED AS PLUS THESE ON PRESENTING [LAUGHTER].
GOOD WORD, [INAUDIBLE]. BRINGING BACK TO THE BOARD, ANY COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD? I'M GOING TO MAKE ONE COMMENT AND JUST THE INTENT OF THE SEWER LINE IS ALWAYS GOING TO PROVIDE CLEAN WATER TO THE LOWER END OF THE VALLEY, STARTING WITH OUR MOST PRECIOUS ASSETS, THE 500 STUDENTS THAT ATTEND LONGER MOUNTAIN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL GOAL OF SEWER LINE, EXPANDED IT TO HELP WITH THE FAILING GROUNDWATER SYSTEM COMING DOWN IN THE LOWER VALLEY.
I'M HAPPY THAT I HOPE THAT THE TETON COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WILL ACCEPT THIS AND WE'LL SIT DOWN AND DISCUSS OUR WALKWAY TO TRANSFER OF THIS OWNERSHIP AND THIS RESPONSIBILITY IS THE PENULTIMATE CHIP TO THEM TO MOVE FORWARD FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE WHOLE WATER QUALITY AND THE LOWER VALLEY.
WITH THAT ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY AYE.
>> ALL THOSE OPPOSED? PASS AMENDMENTS.
CONSIDERATION OF WATER EASEMENT AGREEMENTS FROM THE TOWN OF JACKSON, DR. CHAP?
>> GOOD EVENING MR. CHAIR, TRUSTEES [INAUDIBLE] .
NOW WE HAVE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION TONIGHT, A REQUEST FROM THE TOWN OF JACKSON FOR A UTILITY EASEMENT FOR A WATER LINE BEHIND THE RECREATION CENTER.
AS I'M SURE YOU'RE AWARE, THEY'RE DOING THE EXPANSION OF THE RECREATION CENTER AND THEY ARE PUTTING IN A NEW SIX-INCH WATERLINE AND THEY WOULD LIKE TO CONNECT THAT WATERLINE, CONTINUE IT TO AN EXISTING FIRE HYDRANT THAT IS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF DAVEY JACKSON ELEMENTARY.
I WANTED TO START BY ADDING THERE ARE BENEFITS TO THE DISTRICT TO HAVE THIS WATERLINE TO ALLOW THEM TO COME IN AND CONNECT THAT HYDRANT.
THAT IS BECAUSE OF WATER WOULD BE BASICALLY CREATE A REDUNDANT WATER SUPPLY TO THE SCHOOL, WHICH IS BEST PRACTICE WITH INFRASTRUCTURE.
AND IT WILL ALSO HELP WITH WATER PRESSURE, JUST MAKING SURE THAT STABILIZED AND GOOD AT ALL TIMES.
WITH THAT, MR. LENS, THE TOWN ENGINEER, IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR GIVE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION YOU NEED.
>> DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ENGINEER LENS?
>> IS THERE A MAP OF THIS [BACKGROUND] EXHIBIT? OR EXHIBIT?
>> YEAH. HERE IS THE DISTILLED WATER.
I INSTALLED SOMETHING ALL THE WAY FROM G [INAUDIBLE].
THIS IS THE WIRE IN THEIR OPINION AND I WANT TO CONNECT IT TO THE THAT EXISTING LINES I DREW.
>> I READ ON THE EASTERN THAT IT PROVIDES THAT WE CAN'T PUT SHRUBBERY OR ANYTHING OVER THE TOP OF THAT EASEMENT SO I THINK WE HAVE TO CONSIDER THAT IT'S A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT EASEMENT.
I GOT TO TELL YOU WE HAVE EASEMENTS DOWN THE SPRINKLED ROAD FOR AND SPRING ALTER APPARENTLY BEYOND THE COUNTY JUST HAS AN EASEMENT AND THEY SOLD A BUNCH OF EASEMENTS TO OTHER PEOPLE.
I AM PRETTY SENSITIVE ABOUT EASEMENTS AND BEING CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT WE RENT TO THEM.
IF WE HAVE ANY INDICATION THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE USING THAT PROPERTY THERE FOR ANYTHING ELSE, WE REALLY NEED TO THINK TWICE ABOUT THIS BECAUSE YOU CAN'T BUILD OVER THE TOP OF IT.
[01:25:07]
THAT WILL GIVE ME IT'S CONCERNED THEY CAN'T REALLY EVEN TELL WHERE TO SECURE THIS ON THESE MAPS.IF IT'S IN A PLACE THAT WE'LL NEVER USE, HURRAY.
BUT OTHERWISE, IT COULD BE PROBLEMATIC FOR US.
>> MR. CHAIR, TRUSTEE MEADE, COULD I HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY JUST TO EXPLAIN A LITTLE?
>> THE DESCRIPTION OF WHERE IT IS LOCATED.
THIS IS THE BAPTIST SERVICE BAY AT THE SCHOOL AND THAT IS A PAVED AREA RIGHT NOW.
THAT WAS ONE THING WE CONSIDERED AS WELL, IS THIS AREA THAT WE WOULD IN THE FUTURE POTENTIALLY NEED FLEXIBILITY TO USE.
KNOWING WE CAN'T PREDICT THE FUTURE COMPLETELY, BUT AT THIS TIME WE DON'T FEEL LIKE THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD HINDER THE USE OF THE PROPERTY IN THE SCHOOL, KNOWING THAT'S THE BACK HOUSE AND THAT'S THE SERVICE BAY AREA OF THE SCHOOL.
>> THEY'RE GOING TO GET RID OF THE PAVEMENT OR ARE THEY GOING TO PAINT IT OVER AGAIN?
>> UNDER PARAGRAPHS, THEY'RE THREE AND I'M SURE THAT SARAH IS READ THIS, BUT IT SAYS OBSTRUCTIONS, GRANTOR.
EVEN UCSD AGREES NOT TO CONSTRUCT A PLACE WITHIN THE EASEMENT AREA WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF GRANTING THE BUILDING STRUCTURES OR OTHER IMPROVEMENTS OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER AND A TRUCK, JUST TREES, RATHER A GROWTH OF ANY KIND OR OTHERWISE INTERFERE WITH GRANTEES RIGHTS RAN INTO YOUR UNDER SO THAT WOULD BE MY CONCERN.
>> I THINK IT'S A GREAT TIME TO HYDRATE AND EVERYTHING, BUT YOU JUST HAVE TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT YOU DO WITH THE EASEMENT.
>> PROBABLY NOT, EXCEPT FOR THE POTENTIAL ASPHALT AND ASPHALT ISN'T ONE OF THE RESTRICTIONS OR IT.
>> BUT IT WOULD BE, THEY'VE ALREADY AGREED TO FREQUENTLY.
>> YEAH. THE ONLY WOULD BE THE EXISTING ASPHALT IN THAT PARKING LOT.
I'M LOOKING AT MR. LINS, HE CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT THEY WILL HAVE TO RECLAIM AFTER INSTALLING IT TO ITS PRIOR STATE SO THAT'S WHAT I WOULD HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE AND WE GATHER TO MAKE SURE THAT HAPPENS.
>> CAN WE HEAR FROM MR. LINS, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WAS SORRY.
GRADUATED FROM JACKSON HOLE HIGH SCHOOL.
>> LOTS OF ALUMNI, IT'S GOOD. IT'S GREAT TO SEE.
>> THANKS FOR YOUR TIME TONIGHT.
BOARD. AND THANKS TO DEANNA FOR HELPING US GET THIS FAR.
I THINK WE PUT TOGETHER A PRACTICAL PLAN FOR THE WATER LINE.
IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO INTERFERE WITH ACTIVITIES AND THEY'RE NOW OR WHERE YOU WOULD GO WITH THE BUILDING IN THE FUTURE.
IF IT DID INTERFERE, IT CAN BE MOVED.
THINK THAT THE EASEMENTS WRITTEN THAT WE CAN MOVE IT.
I BELIEVE IT'S ALSO THE SERVICE TO THE SCHOOL ITSELF.
IT PROVIDES REDUNDANT SUPPLY TO THE HIGHER END OF THE SCHOOL AND WE'VE FINISHED THE CONNECTION FOR THE WATER MAIN FROM GILL TO MARCEL.
THIS IS A SPUR OFF OF THAT AND PROBABLY ONE OF THE REASONS WHY IT WASN'T BUILT BEFORE IS, THERE WAS NO WATER TO CONNECT THE TWO ON THE OTHER END.
>> OH YEAH. I DREW JUST SITTING THERE WITHOUT WATER GOING TO IT.
>> NO, IT COMES AROUND [OVERLAPPING] WASHINGTON STREET.
>> NOTHING PERSONAL, I'M JUST ANXIOUS ABOUT IT.
>> OH, NO. I'M [LAUGHTER] ESPECIALLY.
>> IS THERE CURRENTLY AN EASEMENT FOR THE EXISTING WATER LINE THAT COMES FROM JEAN STREET THAT GOES AROUND THE FIRE HYDRANT?
>> THAT'S YOUR LINE ON YOUR PROPERTY.
>> THAT'S THE WAY JACKSON I DON'T KNOW HOW, THAT'S THE WAY WE STARTED.
>> OKAY, SO THEN IS THIS SECTION WILL BE A PUBLIC LINE THAT CONNECTS TO OUR PRIVATE LINE?
>> THERE WAS PROBABLY A TIME WHEN WE WOULD HAVE JUST BUILT IT AND CONNECTED IT AND MOVED ON BUT WE'RE TRYING TO MIND OUR P'S AND Q'S BETTER AND GET THE PAPERWORK IN ORDER AND HAVE EVERYBODY PROTECTED.
[01:30:06]
>> IT'S A GOOD IDEA BECAUSE WHEN WE BUILD JACKSON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, THE TOWN OF JACKSON GAVE US SUCH A HARD TIME ABOUT THE WATER LINE.
[LAUGHTER] REMEMBER THAT? ANY OF YOU HERE REMEMBER THAT, SARAH?
>> YEAH. WE ALMOST COULDN'T OPEN THE LATTER ONE [OVERLAPPING].
>> WE HAD STORM LINES THROUGH THERE.
>> I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS.
>> I GUESS I HAD ONE OTHER QUESTION, I GUESS.
IN OFF OF WHAT KATE WAS TALKING ABOUT.
THE SIZE OF THE EASEMENT, YOU FEEL THAT'S THE MINIMUM THAT YOU NEED FOR A WATER LINE.
I ASSUME IT'S FIVE OR SIX FT DEEP?
>> THIS IS A SEVEN-FOOT-DEEP EASEMENT, 30 FT OR MINIMUM.
IF THE SIZE WAS AN ISSUE, WE COULD REDUCE IT.
BUT ULTIMATELY 30 FT, IS ABOUT THE SMALLEST.
WE CAN DIG, SPOIL, PUT OUR TRANSFER OILS AND EVERYTHING AND GET AROUND THE SITE AND STILL WORK.
WE'RE CURRENTLY ROLLING DOWN AT 20-FOOT WIDE EASEMENT AT ABOUT 13 TO 30 FT A DAY WITH A SEWER RIGHT NOW, SO 30 FT, THE EXTRA 10 FT REALLY GOES A LONG WAY.
>> TRUSTEE SCARLETT, I'M WONDERING ABOUT IT, IT WAS SAID IN THE REPORT THAT THE WATER PRESSURE WOULD BE IMPROVED.
BUT I'M WONDERING WITH ALL THE NEW CONSTRUCTION IN THAT AREA, BOTH WITH A HIDDEN HOLLOW AND A WHOLE LOT OF IT'S GOING TO BE A HUGE HOTEL.
JUST ON THE OTHER SIDE OF CASH.
IF THERE WON'T BE SOME COMPETITION FOR WATER PRESSURE.
>> YEAH. IT'S A SHARED NETWORK THAT THAT SECTION OF TALENTS FED OUT OF AN ALMOST TWO MILLION GALLON WATER TANK.
WE JUST UPDATED OUR CAPACITY STUDY IN 2021 TO EVALUATE THE NETWORK AND THE SUPPLY FOR BUILD-OUT IN THE AREA.
THIS PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD DIDN'T COME UP AS AN ISSUE.
THERE'S A GOOD SUPPLY OF A GOOD NETWORK THAT'S SEEN A LOT OF IMPROVEMENTS IN IT.
WITH A TWO MILLION GALLON TANK AND THREE WELLS SUPPLY IN IT, UNDER MOST CONDITIONS, THE WATER PRESSURE IS GOING TO BE PRETTY STEADY HERE.
YOU'RE ON THE HIGH END OF THE ZONE, I BELIEVE.
BUT IT'S UNDER A FIRE FLOW CONDITION.
YOU'LL HAVE BETTER PRESSURES AND SUPPLY WITH A LOOP.
>> LOOKING AT IT WORSE THERE'S THE NEW COUNTY BUILDING AND THERE'S GOING TO BE A NEW ONE THAT REPLACED THE LOG CABIN.
THERE'S A NEW BUILDING PROPOSED RIGHT NEXT TO IT AND A BLOCK-LONG HOTEL.
WILL THEY SHARE IN THAT MILLION DOLLARS WATER TANK OR A MILLION TANK?
>> ALMOST TWO MILLION. YEAH. THEY'RE ALL THE SAME.
THAT'S ALL FROM THAT SAME ZONE.
>> THAT'S WHAT THE CAPACITY STUDY DOES IT LOOKS AT WHAT OUR SUPPLY IS, AND WHAT WE EXPECT OUR DEMANDS TO BE, INCLUDING FIRE AND SO FAR WE PASS WHERE WE HAVE AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY.
>> NOW, IF YOU WANT COME OUT HERE IN WEST JACKSON.
>> WE WERE WORKING ON SOME OTHER ISSUES OVER HERE, BUT.
>> GREGORY, [OVERLAPPING] WELL LIVE ON FINDING KICKS IN WHERE I'VE ALREADY STARTED TALKING ABOUT IT.
>> OKAY. THEN THEY'LL WAIT A LONG TIME.
>> WAS THERE AN OPENING? WERE THERE OTHER ITEMS ON THE AGENDA HERE? [LAUGHTER]. IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS? YEAH. BUT WE ARE.
>> PREVIOUS [OVERLAPPING] WELL A LITTLE FUNDING GOES A LONG WAY. PUBLIC COMMENT.
ANYBODY IN THE ROOM WANT TO TALK ABOUT MOVING FROM SEWER LINES TO WATER LINES? ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE WATERLINE EASEMENT BEHIND JACKSON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL? IS ANY BUILDING ON LINE TO THE BOARD? DO WE HAVE A MOTION?
[01:35:06]
>> I MOVE TO APPROVE THE TOWN OF JACKSON WATER EASEMENT AGREEMENT AS PRESENTED WITH MINOR MODIFICATIONS AS SUGGESTED BY LEGAL COUNSEL.
>> IT WAS MOVED BY TRUSTEE CARLIN [LAUGHTER] SECONDED BY TRUSTEE DORNAN, THAT WE APPROVED THE TOWN OF JACKSON WATER EASEMENT AGREEMENT AS PRESENTED WITH MINOR MODIFICATIONS AS SUGGESTED BY LEGAL COUNSEL.
ANY DISCUSSION FOR THE DISCUSSION BY THE BOARD.
HEARING NONE ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY AYE.
>>ANY OPPOSED? THAT SIDE IN CONSIDERATION OF LIABILITY INSURANCE RENEWAL.
>> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR, TRUSTEES, CHARLOTTE REYNOLDS.
BEFORE YOU FOR CONSIDERATION IS THE ANNUAL RENEWAL OF OUR LIABILITY INSURANCE.
THERE IS A COMPARISON CHART INCLUDED WITH THE STAFF REPORT.
JUST WANT TO NOTE THAT THIS AMOUNT FOR GENERAL LIABILITY AS WELL AS CYBER LIABILITY COVERAGE, REPRESENTS A 12% INCREASE OVER LAST YEAR'S RENEWAL.
I WOULD NOTE THAT PART OF THAT INCREASE IS DUE TO A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN OUR SCHEDULE OF VALUES INCREASING BASICALLY THE PROPERTY VALUES COVERED BY THIS COVERAGE.
STEVE HENLEY WITH HUB INSURANCE, IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.
I'M ALSO HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS, BUT WITH THAT, I WILL TURN IT OVER TO MR. HENLEY.
>> I DISSIPATED ONE QUESTION FOR THE NIGHT.
MR. CHRISPEN'S ACTIVITIES ON SATURDAY, I CUT DEEP INTO THE POLICY AND THEY DIDN'T FIND ANY COVERAGE FOR [LAUGHTER] PAYING GLIDING ON A WING AND A PRAYER.
I THINK AS FAR AS COVERAGE GOES ON SATURDAY.
>> WE DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE TRYING TO GROW A BEARD TO COVER THAT RUG BURN [INAUDIBLE]
>> THIS CASE IF YOU SEE SOME THINGS IN THE PAPER AS WELL AS AN INSURANCE COMPANY IS POINTED.
>> IT WAS ALL TRUSTEE GREGORY'S IDEA.
>> IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS, I JUST WANTED TO REITERATE WHAT WAS JUST SAID THERE A MAJORITY OR A GOOD CHUNK OF THE PREMIUM INCREASE WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROPERTY VALUES.
WE DID A VERY EXTENSIVE LOOK THROUGH THE REPLACEMENT COSTS ON ALL THE BUILDINGS AND WENT THROUGH AND BASED ON SOME RECENT CONSTRUCTION THAT YOU GUYS HAVE DONE, WE HAD A BETTER IDEA OF CURRENT CONSTRUCTION COSTS HERE IN THE COUNTY.
THAT WAS A GOOD CHUNK OF THE PREMIUM ASSOCIATED WITH THE INCREASE IN THE REPLACEMENT COST ACROSS THE SCHOOL DISTRICT PROPERTIES.
THEN THE OTHER ONE JUST ON THE CYBER.
IT'S SUCH A MOVING, IT'S DRIVEN A LOT BY JUST THE MARKETPLACE ITSELF AND
[F. Consent Agenda]
THE AMOUNT OF INCREASE CLAIMS THAT THE INSURANCE WORLD HAS SEEN OUT THERE IN THE CYBER WORLD.THE INCREASE, I HAD NO IDEA REALLY GOING INTO THE RENEWAL WHAT THE INCREASE WAS GOING TO BE ON THE CYBER POLICY ITSELF.
BUT IT'S RIGHT IN LINE WITH WHAT WE'RE SEEING ACROSS THE BOARD AS FAR AS SIMILAR AS SAY, SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND BANKS AND HOSPITALS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
IT'S JUST THE NATURE OF THE BEAST RIGHT NOW AS FAR AS THE CYBER AND DATA MARKET GOES.
I'M PREPARED TO ASK OR ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.
>> WHAT ARE OUR COVERAGE LIMITS FOR CYBER LIABILITY?
>> MOSTLY THERE'S A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT COVERAGES IN THE POLICY.
GENERALLY, IT'S ABOUT $1 MILLION WITH THE COVERAGE WITH SOME ANCILLARY COVERAGES ALONG WITH THAT AS WELL.
FOR EXAMPLE, EXTORTION IS ONE OF THE BIG THINGS RIGHT NOW OUT THERE.
THAT'S $1,000,000 COVERAGE IN THE POLICY FOR THAT.
BUT THERE'S ALSO COURAGE FOR PROVIDING RESPONSE, HELPING YOU PAY FOR A RESPONSE TO THE PUBLIC, RESPONDING TECHNICALLY TO THE PROBLEM THAT WAS IDENTIFIED AND DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT.
BUT IN GENERAL, ACROSS THE DIFFERENT COVERAGES THAT WE HAVE CURRENTLY IN THE POLICY, IT'S $1 MILLION.
>> YES. HAVE QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.
[01:40:02]
>> WELL, I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. THANK YOU.

I BELIEVE COLBY SENT OUT AN EMAIL EARLIER ON SOME OF THE BUS ROUTE ABOUT A QUESTIONS I HAD, AND PARTICULARLY ON T TOP PASS, THAT LEFT-HAND TURN MOVEMENT IS DIFFICULT FOR THE BUSES, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE COLBY HAS FOUND A RESOLUTION TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THAT SCHOOL BUS ABLE TO GO DOWN THERE AND AN EXPANSION OF THE WALKING SCHOOL BUS.
MY OTHER QUESTION HAD TO DO WITH THE POWERSCHOOL.
THEY EXPLAINED TO ME HOW TO GET THAT APP TO WORK.
THEN I WAS JUST CONFUSED ON WHAT WE'RE DOING AT MARTIN LANE.
THAT WAS MY ONLY OTHER QUESTION.

[01:50:01]
IT'S ALWAYS SUCH A SPECIAL NIGHT.DR. CHRISTINA'S FINAL GRADUATION CEREMONY AS THE PRINCIPAL OF JACKSON HOLE HIGH SCHOOL REALLY CAME OUT OF NOWHERE, LITERALLY.
[LAUGHTER] TO GRADUATE 220, HOW MANY, 221?
>> [INAUDIBLE] CROSS THE LINE AROUND 195 THAT DAY.
>> ONE NINETY-FIVE THAT DAY. VERY GOOD.
THEN THE LAST NIGHT, MR. [INAUDIBLE] EIGHTH-GRADE CEREMONY, HE ACTUALLY ALMOST TOOK A FULL HOUR.
IT WASN'T THAT LONG AGO IT ONLY TOOK YOU 20 MINUTES.
YOU MADE IT FROM OUTDOOR AND INDOOR TO LONG DURING, THE CEREMONY LAST TIME.
>> TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY-ONE EIGHTH GRADERS WILL BE STARTING IN OUR HIGH SCHOOL NEXT YEAR.
THAT DOESN'T HAVE A CROWDING ISSUE ACCORDING TO [LAUGHTER] THE SAME FACILITIES COMMITTEE.
THAT'S SOMEWHERE AROUND 40 MORE THAN WHAT WE WORKED ON SATURDAY. THANK YOU-ALL.
ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? FUTURE TOPICS, GENERAL DISCUSSION ABOUT TONIGHT.
>> I HAVE AN INQUIRY OR THE SUPERINTENDENT, MR. CHAIR. YOU MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS SOME FACILITIES MEETING THIS MONTH, AT THE END MONTH. WHAT DAY IS THAT?
CHAIRMAN SCARLETT, THRUSTING NEED THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON SCHOOL FACILITIES, MEETS, IN GILLETTE ON JUNE 28 AND JUNE OF 29.
THE SELECT COMMITTEE IS MADE UP OF MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE.
WE DO HAVE A LOCAL REPRESENTATIVE LIST STORES ON THAT COMMITTEE.
IT IS OUR INTENTION TO ATTEND THE MEETING AND PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENT ABOUT THIS ISSUE.
WE'RE NOT ON THE AGENDA FOR CONSIDERATION, BUT WE'RE ALWAYS INVITED TO PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENT, SO WE WILL PLAN TO DO THAT.
>> THANK YOU. WE WILL LOOK A ROOM
>> THEN NEXT SCROLLS CONSTRUCTION IS IN JULY?
>> YES. TRUSTEES, WE SUBMITTED A LETTER THAT WAS DUE ON MONDAY TO BE ON THE JULY 18TH THROUGH 20TH.
NO LOCATION HAS BEEN LISTED FOR THAT.
TO BE ON THE AGENDA REQUESTING 21.8 MILLION FOR THE ROCK TREATMENT CENTER AND 16 MILLION FOR THE BEST ONE.
GIVING YET ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY, AND I WROTE A VERY SHORT LETTER REQUESTING TO BE [INAUDIBLE].
>> BEFORE YOU MAKE ONE [INAUDIBLE].
>> JUST A QUESTION MORE THE TRUSTEE MEADE.
WILL YOUR PRESENCE BE MORE WINCHELL IF YOU READ THE SCHOOL FACILITIES COMMISSION? I DON'T KNOW IF THE SELECT COMMITTEE, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CARE WHAT THEY THINK.
IS THAT SCHOOL FACILITIES COMMISSIONER WE'RE TRYING TO CONVINCE?
>> THE FACILITIES COMMISSION MEETING IS THE JULY 18TH TO THE 20TH, WHICH IS ALSO OUR BOARD MEETING.
IT'LL BE DEPENDING ON IF WE GET ON THAT AGENDA.
>> I THINK IT'S GREAT IF YOU WANT TO GO TO THE SELECT COMMITTEE, I'M JUST WONDERING.
>> WELL, I WAS GOING TO GO BECAUSE BUILT-IN.
>> I'M JUST WONDERING IF THE LEGISLATORS HAVE BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE OF THIS.
NOT SURE WHY THEY'RE BOTH, BUT YOUR PRESENCE OF THE SCHOOL FACILITIES COMMISSION, THAT WOULD BE BETTER.
>> THE CALENDAR, YOU ARE SAYING?
>> YES. I SUPPORT. IS OUR MEETING JULY 18TH, 19TH.
[01:55:01]
I'M JUST WONDERING IF, WHERE IS THE MEETING AT?>> THAT THEY HAVEN'T HOSTED THAT TBD?
>> IN THEIR STANDARD THEY'LL ANNOUNCE IT ON FRIDAY BEFORE THEIR MEETING ON WEDNESDAY AND THEN THEY WILL WE'LL CHANGE IT ON TUESDAY.
>> I'M JUST WONDERING IF IT WAS A RADICAL IDEA, BUT DOES IT MAKE ANY SENSE IF A BUNCH OF US SHOWED UP AT THAT MEETING.
BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE YOU'VE GOTTEN THE TARGET ON YOU, IF WE SHOWED UP AND MADE IT CLEAR, YOU ARE ONLY JUST DOING OUR BIDDING, YES.
IF MANY OF US SHOWED UP, WE SAT AS A GROUP IN A ROW AND THE SCHOOL BOARD IS HERE, GIVE US OUR DAMN MONEY. [LAUGHTER]
>> WHAT'S THE TBD GETS DETERMINED?
>> THEY HAVE NOT ANNOUNCED THE LOCATION YET, SO I SUBMITTED THE REQUEST ON MONDAY, IT WAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THEY RECEIVED IT.
I THINK OUR NEXT STEP IS TO FIND OUT IF WE'RE ON THE AGENDA, IF WE'RE NOT ON THE AGENDA, THEN I THINK WOULD BE PRETTY POWERFUL TO SHOW UP AND PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENT.
THEN ONCE WE KNOW WHERE IT IS, WE'LL BE ABLE TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE ADEPT AT MOVING IT.
THE ONLY OTHER ISSUES WE HAVE TO HAVE THE BUDGET APPROVED BY THE 19TH, SO WE WOULD JUST HAVE TO BUMP UP OUR MEETING.
I THINK WE HAVE SOME MOVING PARTS, BUT WE CAN WORK ON THAT HERE.
I WOULD THINK THEY WOULD HAVE TO LET US KNOW IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS.
>> THAT'S A GOOD POINT. JUST FIND A WAY, BUT WE HAVE TO BUDGET ON IT.
BECAUSE THAT'D BE SCARED TO DEATH OF [INAUDIBLE]. [LAUGHTER] AWESOME.
>> I HOPE YOU'VE ENJOYED MEETING HERE.
>> ACTUALLY, WE HAVE TO BE THERE JUST TO WATCH.
>> WITH THAT, NOW I WILL TAKE THE MOTION AND WE ARE DONE.
>> SECONDED BY TRUSTEE MEADE.
