>> BOARD MEMBERS, IT'S TIME TO APPROVE THE AGENDA FOR THIS MEETING.

>> CONSENT ITEM. NEXT ON THE AGENDA ARE THE CONSENT ITEMS.
[VI. Consent Action Item(s)]
THE CONSENT ACTION ITEMS ARE THE FOLLOWING: BOARD MEETING MINUTES FROM DECEMBER 11TH, 2023, DR. ROD ERLIWIN [PHONETIC].BOARD MEETING MINUTES FROM DECEMBER 27, 2023, DR. ROD ERLIWIN.

BOARD MEMBERS, IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT ACTION ITEM?
>> BOARD MEMBERS, IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION?
>> CHAIR, I DO HAVE A DISCUSSION ITEM ON THE CONTRACT FOR THE INTERPRETIVE SERVICES.
I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF APPROVING A CONTRACT THAT'S FOUR YEARS OLD.
I'D APPROVE THE CONTRACT MOVING FORWARD FROM TODAY FORWARD.
>> KIM, CAN YOU SPEAK TO THAT?
>> YEAH. SO THAT CONTRACT WE DISCUSSED IN JULY, 2020.
UNFORTUNATELY, WE WERE NOT ABLE TO LOCATE THE SIGNED AGREEMENT, BUT WE HAVE BEEN UTILIZING THE AGREEMENT AS IS.
EVERYTHING IN THERE HAS BEEN IN PRIOR PRACTICE.
SO WE JUST WANTED TO BRING IT BACK TO THE BOARD TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY WAS ON THE SAME PAGE, THAT THAT IS, IN FACT, WHAT WE ARE DOING.
>> I GUESS THAT'S THE WAY WE'VE BEEN OPERATING FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS.
I WOULD STILL PROPOSE THAT WE AMEND THAT TO HAVE A JANUARY 2024 CONTRACT DATE ON THAT TO MOVE FORWARD BECAUSE THAT'S REALLY WHAT THIS BOARD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR.
>> ERL, I WOULD ADD THAT I WOULD AGREE WITH THAT.
THE PROBLEM WAS IS THAT THE AEA REACHED OUT TO US FOR A COPY OF THAT.
THEIR COPY THEY HAD SIGNED, OUR BOARD HAD APPROVED IT ACCORDING TO PREVIOUS MINUTES, BUT FOR SOME REASON, WE COULD NOT FIND A SIGNED COPY.
SO I WOULD NOT DISAGREE WITH MR. MILLER'S AMENDMENT TO MAKE SURE IT'S DATED FROM HERE FORTH AND NOT IN ARREARS.
>> DO WE HAVE TO PULL THAT ITEM IN ORDER TO A TO AMEND THE CONTRACT?
[00:05:03]
>> THE ONE I HAVE IN FRONT OF ME IN THE HOMEWORK DOESN'T SHOW IT.
IT SHOWS THE SIGNATURE LINES TO HAVE DAYS, BUT THEN IT'S IN SECTION 1 OF THE TERM, THIS AGREEMENT IS FOR AN INDEFINITE DURATION COMMENCING JULY 1, 2020.
SO IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE TERM DATE, THAT'S ONE THING.
IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE DATE THAT SIGNING RESOLUTIONS PASSED BY THE SCHOOL BOARD, IT WOULD BE TODAY'S DATE.
THE DATES DATE LINE IS ON THE SIGNATURE PAGE.
I DON'T SEE AT THE TOP OF MY AGREEMENT.
THERE ISN'T A DATE AT THE TOP OF THIS AGREEMENT.
[BACKGROUND] I THINK IT'S JUST SECTION 1 RETURN.
>> THAT'S WHAT DIRECTOR MILLER IS REFERRING TO.
>> MR. MILLER, IS THAT WHERE YOU'RE REFERRING TO? DID YOU HEAR THAT CONVERSATION OR NO?
>> IF WE DON'T ADOPT IT WITH A '20 DATE, IS THAT GOING TO CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS FOR US OR FOR THE AEA?
>> NO. JUST SO EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS HOW THIS WORKS IS THEY HIRE THE PEOPLE AND THEN WE SUBCONTRACT WITH THEM THROUGH THIS AGREEMENT TO PAY FOR SERVICES FOR INTERPRETERS.
DOESN'T MEAN THAT SERVICES WOULD STOP UNTIL THIS IS SIGNED.
OBVIOUSLY, WE'VE BEEN USING THEIR SERVICES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS.
THE ISSUE WAS THEY DON'T HAVE A SIGNED DOCUMENT, A SIGNED CONTRACT WITH OUR BOARD PRESENT SIGNATURE ON IT AND NEITHER DO WE.
SO HOW WOULD LEGAL COUNSEL RECOMMEND WE MOVE FORWARD? OR DO WE TABLE THIS AND BRING IT BACK?
>> WELL, I THINK WE COULD [NOISE].
>> YEAH, PROBABLY, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. THANK YOU.
>> I THINK WE WANT TO AFFIRM THAT THE TERM HAS BEEN RUNNING SINCE JULY 1 OF 2020. THIS IS NOT NOW.
>> AND FOR OUR DISCUSSION WITH BOTH ADA AND ADMINISTRATION HERE AT THE SIOUX CITY COMMUNITY SCHOOLS, HERE ARE THE BOARD MEETING MINUTES FROM JULY OF 2020.
WE HAVE BEEN OPERATING UNDER THAT CONTRACT.
>> I THINK WE CAN AFFIRM THAT THE INDEFINITE DURATION COMMENCED JULY 1, 2020.
I THINK THE KEY IS THE DATE THAT IT'S SIGNED, WHICH IS ON THE SIGNATURE PAGE BY THE BOARD PRESIDENT AND BY THE BOARD SECRETARY, PLUS YOU'LL BE HAVING A RESOLUTION OF THE AFFIRMATION OF THE CONTRACT THAT WE'LL HAVE OF RECORD.
SO THERE'S NO QUESTION THAT IT'S BEING APPROVED TODAY UNLESS YOU WANT TO PUT SOMETHING AT THE VERY TOP WHERE IT SAYS, THIS AGREEMENT IS BEING REAFFIRMED AS OF JANUARY 8, 2024, BUT I DO THINK THEY'RE PROBABLY LOOKING FOR THE AFFIRMATION OR REAFFIRMING OF THE CONTRACT SINCE JULY 1 OF 2020.
>> BECAUSE IT JUST SAYS THIS IS INDEFINITE DURATION.
>> WELL, IT'S SUBJECT TO THE TERMINATION CLAUSE WHICH WE DID CORRECT.
IT WASN'T WORDED VERY WELL ON SECTION 9, THE TERMINATION.
SO EITHER PARTY CAN TERMINATE THE AGREEMENT AT THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR BY GIVING A 45-DAY ADVANCE NOTICE.
SO IT IS INDEFINITE UNTIL SUCH TIME AS ONE OF THE PARTIES WOULD WANT TO TERMINATE IT, OR IF THERE'S A CONSENT BY BOTH PARTIES TO JUST MUTUALLY TERMINATE IT.
>> MR. MOORE, YOUR RECOMMENDATION IS THAT THE BOARD APPROVE IT AND WE JUST MAKE SURE THAT THE DATE THAT ITS SIGNED REFERENCE TO TODAY'S DATE?
>> DOES THAT MAKE SENSE TO EVERYONE?
>> IS DIRECTOR MILLER COMFORTABLE WITH THAT?
>> DIRECTOR MILLER, ARE YOU COMFORTABLE WITH THAT?
>> OKAY, THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
>> IT'S REALLY ODD, BY THE WAY, THAT NEITHER PARTY COULD FIND A EXECUTED COPY.
>> YEAH, IT IS. BUT THAT WAS DONE IN 2020, RIGHT?
>> PRIOR TO ME BEING ELECTED TO THE BOARD AND BOBBY BEING ELECTED TO THE BOARD.
>> AND EVERYONE. YEAH, WE GET IT SIGNED AND LOOK LIKE THAT.
>> SO WOULD IT BE REMISS OF US TO ASK FOR UPDATED CONTRACT WITH THOSE DATES GOING
[00:10:07]
FORWARD AS WE GO TO RENEGOTIATE THAT TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE CURRENT DATE?>> YEAH. MY UNDERSTANDING IS ONCE THIS IS SIGNED, THEN IT JUST CONTINUES UNTIL SOMEONE GIVES A NOTICE.
>> UNTIL SOMEONE TERMINATES SERVICE.
>> YEAH, UNTIL WE GIVE NOTICE TO TERMINATE, WHICH TYPICALLY WE DON'T BECAUSE THESE ARE SERVICES THAT OUR KIDS NEED.
AND AA PROVIDES THE PEOPLE, THEY WORK IN OUR DISTRICT WORKING WITH KIDS.
>> WHO SETS THE RATE? DOES THE AA SET THE RATE? DO WE SET THE RATE OR IS IT A COMBINATION?
>> IT WOULD BE A COMBINATION OF THE TWO.
>> BUT JUST REMEMBER, THESE ARE ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, SKILLED TRAINED INTERPRETERS.
>> CORRECTLY, IT'D BE SECTION 9 WHERE THE TERMINATION CLAUSE IS.
>> ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER DISCUSSIONS? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF APPROVING THE CONSENT ACTION ITEMS SAY AYE.
CONSENT ACTION ITEMS ARE APPROVED.
SECTION 7, BOARD MEMBER REPORTS AND FUTURE MEETINGS.
[VII. Board Member Reports / Future Meetings]
I DO HAVE MY LIST HERE.JUST SO THAT WE CAN EXPEDIATE THE QUICKNESS OF THIS MEETING, I'M GOING FIRST AND I HAVE NO BOARD REPORT TODAY. TREYLA?
>> DOES THAT CONCLUDE YOUR REPORT?
>> OKAY. THERE'S PRETTY MUCH A CONSENSUS THAT IT IS SNOWING AND THERE IS NO BOARD REPORTS FROM THE OTHER MEMBERS.
HERE ARE OUR FUTURE MEETING DATES.

ITEM 8, SUPERINTENDENT REPORT,
[VIII.Superintendent’s Report - Dr. Rod Earleywine]
DR. ROD ERLIWIN, IT'S TIME FOR YOUR REPORT.>> I WILL ALSO MAKE THIS VERY QUICK.
I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT 15 OF OUR SCHOOLS ON DECEMBER 19TH AND 20TH.
I SPEND MOST OF THOSE TWO DAYS JUST OUT AND ABOUT VISITING SCHOOLS, TALKING TO MOSTLY TEACHERS AND SUPPORT STAFF.
THOSE ARE TWO DAYS THAT I REALLY ENJOY.
THE SECOND IS REALLY A HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT THE SIOUX CITY COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT WAS AWARDED $5,925,000 FROM THE EPA,
[00:15:02]
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY, FOR THE PURCHASE OF 15 ELECTRIC SCHOOL BUSES.THAT DOLLAR AMOUNT DOES NOT JUST INCLUDE THE BUSES, BUT ALSO WILL INCLUDE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR CHARGING STATIONS AS WELL.
THAT IS HUGE FOR OUR DISTRICT.
AGAIN, CLEAN AIR, PART OF THE CLEAN SCHOOL BUS GRANT PROGRAM.
SO THAT'S KUDOS TO TIM AND HIS CREW WHO WORKED VERY, VERY HARD TO PUT THAT GRANT TOGETHER.
THOSE TAKE A LOT OF TIME, A LOT OF EFFORT, AND A LOT OF ENERGY TO DO THAT.
BUT OBVIOUSLY, IF YOU'RE WILLING TO DO IT MANY TIMES, IT DOES PAY OFF.
SO THANK YOU, TIM, FOR THIS GREAT GIFT OF, AGAIN, IT'S $5,925,000 FOR THE PURCHASE OF 15 SCHOOL BUSES AND ALSO FOR INFRASTRUCTURE TO PUT UP CHARGING STATIONS SO WE CAN CHARGE THOSE BUSES. THAT'S GREAT NEWS.
>> THAT IS. GO GREEN WHERE WE CAN GO.
>> WITH THAT, I WILL END MY REPORT.
[IX.A. FY25 Spending Authority Update & General Fund Targeted Expenditures - Patty Blankenship]
ITEMS OF PRESENTATION, DISCUSSION, AND/OR ACTION.THE FIRST ITEM IS THE FISCAL YEAR '25, SPENDING AUTHORITY AND UPDATE AND GENERAL FUND TARGETED EXPENDITURES BY PATTY BLANKENSHIP.
>> I THINK THEY'RE WORKING TO BRING UP THE POWERPOINT PRESENTATION.
>> [OVERLAPPING] I BELIEVE SO.
THERE YOU GO. YOU SHOULD BE SEEING IT.
>> THIS IS AN FY25 SPENDING AUTHORITY UPDATE AND THEN ALSO A GENERAL FUND TARGETED EXPENDITURES CALCULATION.
PAGE 2 IS THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES THAT WERE APPROVED BY THE BOARD EARLIER.
PAGE 3 IS BASICALLY INFORMATION ON SPENDING AUTHORITY.
IT'S BACKGROUND INFORMATION ABOUT HOW SPENDING AUTHORITY WORKS, AND PAGE 4 HAS SOME DETAILED INFORMATION ON THE SUPPLEMENTAL STATE AID OR SSA, AND THEN ALSO SHOWS THE CERTIFIED ENROLLMENT FOR THIS UPCOMING BUDGET YEAR.
THIS IS A CERTIFIED ENROLLMENT FROM OCTOBER 2ND WHICH WILL FUND THE FY25 SCHOOL YEAR.
LANCE, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? I SEE YOU HAVE YOUR HAND UP.
>> [INAUDIBLE] BUT I DO HAVE A QUESTION.
I APPRECIATE THE WORK AND UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE RECEIVING AN UPDATE OF WHAT WE HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED BEFORE, BUT AS FAR AS THE PERMIT, ALL THE DETAIL THAT COMES A LITTLE LATER IN THE BUDGET PROCESS. AM I RIGHT?
>> PAGE 5 THEN SHOWS THE FIVE-YEAR AVERAGE OF SSA AND THE EXPENDITURE GROWTH.
THOSE ARE ALL PAGES THAT WE'VE SEEN IN A PREVIOUS PRESENTATION.
PAGE 6 THEN SHOWS THE UPDATED ASSUMPTIONS.
FOR FY25, WE'RE SHOWING A SUPPLEMENTAL.
WE'RE USING AN ASSUMPTION OF 3% SSA, AND ALSO 3% TARGETED EXPENDITURE INCREASE, SO WE'RE STILL KEEPING OUR SSA AND OUR EXPENDITURES THE SAME AT 3%.
THEN IN SUBSEQUENT YEARS FOR FY26 THROUGH 29, WE'RE USING AN SSA OF 2½% AND TARGETED EXPENDITURE INCREASE OF BOTH 2½%.
[00:20:07]
IN NOVEMBER WE WERE USING PROJECTIONS OF 2% SSA AND 2% EXPENDITURE GROWTH AND WE WERE USING THAT ALL THROUGH THE SUBSEQUENT YEARS AS WELL.PAGE 7. THE FIRST COLUMN SHOWS AN FY23 CALCULATION OF THE UNSPENT BALANCE WHICH IS AT 71.2 MILLION OR 26%.
THEN ONTO THE 24 COLUMN SHOWS THE PROJECTED BALANCE AT THE END OF JUNE 30, 2024, WHICH WOULD BE 76.1 MILLION OR 27%.
BASED ON THIS CALCULATION, I'M PROJECTING AN INCREASE IN OUR UNSPENT BALANCE OF ABOUT 4.9 MILLION.
PAGE 8, SHOWS THE DETAILED CALCULATIONS OF '25 THROUGH '29.
YOU CAN SEE I'M USING THE 3% FOR SSA, 3% FOR TARGETED EXPENDITURE INCREASE, AND THEN CHANGES TO 2½% IN THE SUBSEQUENT YEARS.
THIS LEAVES OUR UNSPENT BALANCE BASICALLY HOLDING STEADY AT THAT 29%.
IF YOU LOOK DOWN AT THE VERY BOTTOM, THE NUMBERS IN GREEN SHOW THAT OUR TARGETED EXPENDITURES ARE ACTUALLY UNDER OUR ANNUAL SPENDING AUTHORITY, BUT VERY SLIGHTLY UNDER.
THIS IS A LARGE BUDGET AND THESE ARE ALMOST BASICALLY NEUTRAL.
I WOULD CONSIDER THEM NEUTRAL.
THAT'S THE UPDATE ON THIS SPENDING AUTHORITY.
WE DETAILED WHAT THE ASSUMPTIONS ARE, WE LOOKED AT UPDATED PROJECTIONS, AND NOW WE'RE SWITCHING TO CALCULATING THE FY25 GENERAL FUND TARGETED EXPENDITURES.
THERE'S SEVERAL STEPS THAT WE DO WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO PROJECT A TARGETED EXPENDITURES.
THE FIRST THING I DO IS I REVIEW THE 23 ACTUAL EXPENDITURES, AND THEN I REVIEW THE 24 CERTIFIED EXPENDITURES, AND THEN I RE-ESTIMATE THE 24 EXPENDITURES BASICALLY USING OUR LINE ITEM BUDGET, AND THEN I TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT WITH LOOKING AT THE SPENDING AUTHORITY PROJECTIONS.
WHAT WE'LL SEE ON THE FOLLOWING PAGES IS WE'LL LOOK AT THE FY24 RE-ESTIMATED EXPENDITURES BY FUNCTION AND ALSO BY PROGRAM.
THERE'S A BOARD POLICY THAT REQUIRES US TO PRESENT THE BUDGET BY FUND FACILITY FUNCTION AND PROGRAM, AND THEN WE WILL ALSO SEE THE 24 RE-ESTIMATED EXPENDITURES AND THE 23 EXPENDITURES BY FACILITY.
THEN WE'LL SEE A CALCULATION OF THE FY25 TARGETED EXPENDITURES.
THEN ON PAGES 15 THROUGH 44 IS ALL OF THE SUPPORTING DETAIL FOR THOSE CALCULATIONS.
FIRST, THIS IS LOOKING AT RE-ESTIMATED EXPENDITURES FOR 24 BY FUNCTION AND PROGRAM.
THE FUNCTIONS ARE ACROSS THE TOP.
THEY ARE INSTRUCTION, SUPPORT SERVICES, AND OTHER USES.
AND THEN THE TOTAL IS IN THE FY24, TOTAL COLUMN IS YELLOW, THAT'S ABOUT 206 MILLION.
THAT'S WHAT MY LINE ITEM BUDGETS ARE FOR '24.
AT THE BOTTOM, YOU CAN SEE WHAT THE FY23 ACTUAL EXPENDITURES WERE AND THEN WHAT WAS THE INCREASE.
THE OTHER THING TO NOTE THERE IS, FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE INSTRUCTION COLUMN, 63.51% OF OUR BUDGET IS SPENT ON THE INSTRUCTION FUNCTION.
YOU CAN SEE THAT'S VERY CONSISTENT WITH THE ACTUAL EXPENDITURES IN '23.
OUR TOTAL SUPPORT SERVICES, WHICH BREAK DOWN INTO SUPPORT SERVICES FOR STUDENTS, SUPPORT SERVICES FOR INSTRUCTION, GENERAL ADMINISTRATION, BUILDING ADMINISTRATION, CENTRAL BUSINESS, WHICH IS LIKE HR AND FINANCE DEPARTMENT, O&M, AND STUDENT TRANSPORTATION.
ALL OF THOSE FUNCTIONS TOTAL INTO THE TOTAL SUPPORT SERVICES, AND THAT'S ABOUT 30.57% OF OUR BUDGET.
AGAIN, VERY CONSISTENT WITH THE PRIOR YEARS ACTUALS.
THIS NEXT PAGE SHOWS THE EXPENDITURES BY FACILITY.
THE FIRST COLUMN IS THE FY24 RE-ESTIMATED.
IT SHOWS DISTRICT WIDE EXPENDITURES, AND THEN ELEMENTARY AND PRESCHOOL, THE MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND THE HIGH SCHOOL, AND VIBE ACADEMY FOR 23 AND THE NON PUBLIC ALLOCATIONS THAT COME THROUGH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
YOU CAN SEE AGAIN THE TOTAL AT THE BOTTOM FOR THE RE-ESTIMATED IS AT 206 MILLION.
THAT TIES TO THE PREVIOUS PAGE.
LAST YEAR'S ACTUAL EXPENDITURES WERE RIGHT AT 200.4 MILLION.
[00:25:02]
IF YOU LOOK AT THE PERCENTAGES, COMPARING, THEY'RE AGAIN, PRETTY CONSISTENT, 37% OF OUR EXPENDITURES ARE ON ELEMENTARY, 16% ON MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND 21% ON HIGH SCHOOL.THOSE ARE PRETTY CONSISTENT FROM YEAR TO YEAR.
NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT OUR FY25 TARGETED EXPENDITURES.
IT STARTS WITH THE FY24 RE-ESTIMATED EXPENDITURES.
THAT'S THAT SAME NUMBER, THAT 206 MILLION THAT YOU SAW IN THE PREVIOUS PAGES.
THEN IT SUBTRACTS OUT THE 1.5 MILLION ONE TIME HEALTH INSURANCE SUBSIDY THAT WAS GIVEN IN '24.
THEN ALSO SUBTRACTS OUT THE SR EXPENDITURES OF 17.7 SO THAT WE GET TO AN ADJUSTED EXPENDITURE AMOUNT OF ABOUT 186.7 THEN IF YOU INCREASE THAT 186.7 BY 3%, THAT MEANS THAT OUR EXPENDITURES FOR '25 COULD INCREASE BY ABOUT 5.4 MILLION.
THAT WOULD MAKE OUR TARGETED FY25 EXPENDITURES 192.2 MILLION.
IF WE LIVED WITH EXPENDITURE INCREASES OF ABOUT 5.4 MILLION, WE WOULD MEET THIS TARGET.
THEN THE NEXT PAGE JUST SHOWS THE BUDGET PRESENTATION CALENDAR.
THE RECOMMENDATION IS THAT THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ACKNOWLEDGES THE UPDATED INFORMATION PRESENTED REGARDING THE DISTRICT'S FY25 SPENDING AUTHORITY PROJECTIONS AND THE GENERAL FUND TARGETED EXPENDITURES.
THIS IS JUST, AGAIN, AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT AS WE CONTINUE TO BUILD THIS BUDGET, THAT YOU'RE ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THESE ASSUMPTIONS ARE GOOD AND THAT OUR TARGETED EXPENDITURE GROWTH IS REASONABLE.
THEN THE SUBSEQUENT PAGES, 15-44, ARE ALL THE SUPPORTING DETAIL WHICH WE DID REVIEW IN MORE DETAIL IN THE FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETING.
>> THANK YOU, PATTY. RECOMMENDATION. THERE NEEDS TO BE NO FORMAL ACTION OTHER THAN THAT THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ACKNOWLEDGES THE UPDATED INFORMATION REGARDING THE DISTRICT FISCAL YEAR 25 SPENDING AUTHORITY PROJECTIONS AND GENERAL FUND TARGETED EXPENDITURES.
THANK YOU. THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM [OVERLAPPING]
>> JUST A POINT OF CLARIFICATION.
ON THAT BUDGET ITEM IT SAID THERE WAS A LISTING FOR NON PUBLIC SCHOOL.
>> THAT'S FUNDS THAT ARE FLOWED THROUGH THE IOWA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, THAT ARE EARMARKED FOR NON PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
A PIECE OF IT IS PROBABLY TITLE 1.
THERE'S SOME TITLE 1 MONEY THAT FLOWS THROUGH TO THE NONPUBLIC SCHOOLS.
WE'RE THE FISCAL AGENT FOR THAT MONEY, BUT IT FLOWS RIGHT THROUGH TO THEM.
>> THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM IS THE MODIFIED SUPPLEMENTAL AMOUNT FOR AT
[IX.B. Modified Supplemental Amount for At-Risk/ Dropout Prevention - Angela Bemus]
RISK DROPOUT PREVENTION BY ANGELA BEMUS.>> ARE YOU ABLE TO SEE THE PRESENTATION?
>> JUST A SECOND, WE'RE GOING TO GET IT BROUGHT UP HERE.
>> ONE SECOND. CHAD IS WORKING ON IT.
>> YOU WANT ME TO BRING IT UP, ANGELA?
WE'RE GETTING CLOSER. CAN EVERYONE SEE IT?
>> WHAT ABOUT THE BOARD MEMBERS THAT ARE ONLINE? CAN YOU GUYS SEE THE PRESENTATION?
>> [INAUDIBLE] BUT I CAN ALSO SEE WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT.
>> GREAT. TODAY I'M JUST GOING TO BE QUICK AND SHARE WITH YOU OUR MODIFIED APPLICATION FOR AT RISK PREVENTION DOLLARS.
THE PURPOSE OF OUR AT RISK FUNDS ARE TO SUPPORT STUDENTS WHO ARE AT RISK OF DROPPING OUT OR GRADUATING FROM HIGH SCHOOL.
THAT IS THE SUMMARIZED VERSION OF WHAT THE PURPOSE OF AT RISK FUNDS ARE.
COULD YOU GO TO THE NEXT SCREEN, PLEASE? OUR WEIGHTED AT RISK PROPOSED FOR NEXT YEAR IS GOING TO BE $772,230,
[00:30:06]
AT RISK MODIFIED SUPPLEMENTAL AID, $5,000,849, WHICH COMES TO A TOTAL OF $6,000,536 AND 62 CENTS.THAT LITTLE OVER SIX MILLION EVERY YEAR WE USE THAT MONEY, PART OF TSS.
WE HAVE ISSUED VISIONS GRANT FOR OUR PRESCHOOL, OUR EARLY CHILDHOOD PREVENTION PROGRAM, INDIAN EDUCATION ASSISTANCE TO SCHOOLS, EDUCATION FOR HOMELESS CHILDREN AND YOUTH.
THOSE ARE FEDERAL GRANTS THAT ARE IN ADDITION TO THESE MONIES.
TO GET AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT WE USE THESE DOLLARS FOR, CAN YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE? THESE DOLLARS GO DIRECTLY TO ALL OF OUR ALTERNATIVE PROGRAMS. SCHOOL WITHIN A SCHOOL, WHICH IS REALLY OUR ALTERNATIVE SUPPORTS IN [INAUDIBLE] SOMETIMES YOU REFER TO IT AS SWS, SCHOOL WITHIN A SCHOOL, BUT WE OFTEN REFER TO IT AS ALTERNATIVE SUPPORTS AS WELL.
ANY ACADEMIC INTERVENTION SUPPORTS REGARDING IT CAN BE ACADEMIC OR SOCIAL EMOTIONAL, GRADUATION COACHES, OUR JUVENILE COURT LIAISONS, AND OUR SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS ARE FUNDED THROUGH THE AT RISK.
OUR TRANSITION SUPPORT PROGRAM, OUR STUDENTS TRANSITIONING OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL INTO THE WORKFORCE, CREDIT RECOVERY, OUR ATTENDANCE SPECIALISTS, OUR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, OUR MENTORING AND OUR TUTORING.
>> WHEN WE ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES IN THIS PARTICULAR CATEGORY, ARE WE TALKING ABOUT FUNDING BEING USED FOR OUR OWN EMPLOYEES OR ARE WE TALKING ABOUT FUNDING USED TO PAY FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE RETURNING TO HELP PROVIDE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, FOR EXAMPLE, FROM SIOUXLAND MENTAL HEALTH?
WE PAY PORTIONS OF SALARIES FOR OUR SCHOOL COUNSELORS.
WE HAVE SCHOOL COUNSELORS THAT HAVE MAYBE 25, 50% OF THEIR SALARY DEPENDING ON WHAT DEMOGRAPHIC OR WHAT THEIR FOCUS IS.
WE HAVE CONTRACTS WITH SIOUXLAND MENTAL HEALTH.
WE ALSO HAVE CONTRACTS WITH DIFFERENT MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORTS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.
SOMETIMES IT IS BECAUSE THEY ARE ALREADY SEEING ONE OF OUR STUDENTS OR OUR EQUITY DEPARTMENT HAS PARTNERED WITH ANOTHER AGENCY.
IT IS OUR IN-HOUSE COUNSELORS AS WELL AS SUPPORT OUTSIDE OF THE DISTRICT.
>> ALL OF THAT IS FUNDED BY THESE [INAUDIBLE]
>> CORRECT. NOW, WE HAVE HAD A BIG BOOST AND INCREASE OF THESE SUPPORTS WITH OUR COVID DOLLARS.
WE HAVE USED AN ESTIMATE THREE DOLLARS FOR THIS AS WELL.
THEREFORE, WE WERE ABLE TO WE'VE BEEN ABLE FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS TO PROVIDE AN UPTICK IN SERVICES, BUT NOW WITH OUR EXTRA DOLLARS NEXT YEAR, THIS WILL BE THE ONLY FUNDING SOURCE FOR THAT, BESIDES THE GRANTS THAT I HAD LISTED JUST PRIOR.
>> I THINK IT CAME UP AS A PROGRAM CHANGE BACK IN THE OCTOBER TIMEFRAME AND THERE WAS A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT IT.
IS THAT CORRECT? CAN YOU BRING ME U TO SPEED ON WHAT THAT WAS?
>> YES. WE HAD A DISCUSSION ABOUT OUR FORMER FOOTBALL COACH AT WEST HIGH, OUR IJACK TEACHER, WE PARTNERED WITH THEM.
WEST HIGH IS THE ONLY SCHOOL THAT HAS THE IJACK PROGRAM.
WE DID PUT THAT AS PART OF OUR RESTRUCTURING PLAN AS TO NOT HAVE IJACK CONTINUE AFTER NEXT YEAR.
>> CURRENTLY WE DO NOT HAVE A TEACHER.
WE JUST HOUSE THEM IN THE BUILDINGS, BUT WE DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE A TEACHER RIGHT NOW.
>> THERE'S NO INTERACTION GOING ON?
>> NO. UNTIL IJACK HIRE SOMEONE, WE DO NOT HAVE ANY BODY.
>> ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL STATE FUNDS GOING TO BE AVAILABLE SINCE THE STATE TOOK OVER MENTAL HEALTH FUNDING?
>> CAN YOU SAY THAT AGAIN, I'M SORRY.
[00:35:02]
>> ARE THERE GOING TO BE ANY ADDITIONAL STATE FUNDS AVAILABLE TO THE DISTRICT SINCE THE STATE HAS TAKEN OVER MENTAL HEALTH FUNDING?
>> CAN YOU REPEAT THE QUESTION?
>> HE WANTS TO KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDING COMING FROM THE STATE SINCE THEY ARE REALLY TAKING OVER THE MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES.
I GUESS I CAN SPEAK TO THAT A LITTLE BIT.
>> THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL FUNDS FROM THE STATE FOR MENTAL HEALTH, NONE.
>> WE ARE ADVOCATING FOR IT MORE, BUT RIGHT NOW THERE'S NOTHING COMMITTED.
I BELIEVE THEY'RE IN SESSION TODAY.
>> LEGISLATIVE SESSION STARTS TODAY.
>> YEAH. SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE ADVOCATING FOR.
>> THAT'S FOR US WE'RE HOPING THAT SOMETHING COMES OUT OF THIS SESSION.
>> LIKE I SAID, THE AT RISK DOLLARS ARE REALLY TARGETED AT THOSE KIDS WHO ARE AT RISK OF DROPPING OUT AND CURRENTLY, I JUST WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU OUR MOST CURRENT GRADUATION RATE DATA ACCORDING TO THE HIGHER DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION.
I DO WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THE IOWA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION HAS NOT UPDATED AND HAS SOLIDIFIED AND VERIFIED ANYTHING AFTER 2022.
THE DATA I HAVE FOR YOU IS RIGHT FROM THE DEPARTMENT THE FOUR-YEAR GRADUATION RATE SHOWN THAT I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU IS FOR THE CLASS OF 2022 AND THE FIVE-YEAR GRADUATION RATE IS FOR THE CLASS OF 2021.
WE ARE HOPING THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF ED GETS THAT VERIFIED AND FORMALIZED, BUT THEY HAVE NOT YET.
THIS IS THE SAME DATA THAT I SHARED WITH YOU LAST YEAR.
I'VE GOT THE GRADUATION RATE OF FOUR YEARS IS A STUDENT WHO GRADUATES IN THE TYPICAL FOUR YEARS AND THEN THE FIVE-YEAR RATE IS THE STUDENT WHO NEEDED AN EXTRA YEAR TO GRADUATE.
THE DIAMOND IS THE STATE AVERAGE.
I'LL GIVE YOU JUST A SECOND TO LOOK AT THOSE.
>> I LOOK AT THIS A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT TIMES.
I THINK WE'VE SEEN THE SAME SLIDE AND IT'S CONFUSING TO ME.
MY INTERPRETATION WOULD BE THAT THE FIVE-YEAR GRADUATION RATE SHOULD ACTUALLY GO UP OVER THE FOUR-YEAR GRADUATION RATE BECAUSE IT ISN'T CONCLUSIVE AND IF IT'S NOT INCLUSIVE, WHAT IS THAT 88.55% I'M NOT [INAUDIBLE] REPRESENT.
>> THAT MEANS THAT 88.55 OF STUDENTS THAT TOOK AN ADDITIONAL YEAR TO GRADUATE DID GRADUATE.
THE OTHER 11.5% OF THE STUDENTS DID NOT GRADUATE.
THAT WAS GIVING THEM AN EXTRA YEAR.
>> I DO WANT TO REMIND THE BOARD MEMBERS THAT YOU NEED TO DIRECT [OVERLAPPING].
>> THE 945 OUT OF 1051 STUDENTS REPRESENT THE 89.91% BUT WHEN I LOOK OVER AT ALL STUDENTS, THE GRADUATION RATE OF FIVE YEARS, IT SAYS 913 OUT OF 1031 SEES REPRESENTS 80.55%?
>> AT THIS TIME, I JUST WANT TO REMIND THE BOARD MEMBERS THAT WE DO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR DISCUSSION AFTER THE PRESENTATION HAS BEEN PRESENTED AND THAT THE QUESTIONS RECOGNITION NEEDS TO BE BY THE CHAIR SO THAT THE FLOW OF THE PRESENTATION CAN GO THROUGH.
THEN YOU WRITE DOWN YOUR QUESTIONS OR WHATEVER AND THEN AT THIS TIME, ASK THE PRESENTER TO GO BACK TO THAT SLIDE SO THAT YOU CAN ASK THOSE QUESTIONS.
>> CAN YOU GO BACK ONE SLIDE, PLEASE? THIS IS THE LANGUAGE THAT REALLY DESCRIBES IT FOR YOU.
THE FOUR-YEAR GRADUATION RATE REPRESENTS THE PERCENT OF STUDENTS WHO COMPLETED HIGH SCHOOL ON TIME WITHIN FOUR YEARS.
THE FIVE-YEAR GRADUATION RATE SHOWS THE PERCENT OF STUDENTS WHO NEEDED AN ADDITIONAL YEAR TO COMPLETE HIGH SCHOOL.
THE FOUR-YEAR IS FOR 2022, AND THE FIVE-YEAR GRADUATION RATE IS FOR THE CLASS OF 2021.
THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT COHORTS OF CLASSES. IS THAT NO?
SORRY. CAN YOU GO BACK, PLEASE? I'M LOOKING AT MY PRESENT ENDING HERE.
[00:40:08]
FOR THE AMOUNT LEVY OF 6,536,000 AND 62 CENTS.MY PRESENTATION HAS THE NEW AMOUNT.
THAT PRESENTATION THAT HOLD UP HAS THE WRONG AMOUNT.
>> CHAIR, CAN YOU GO BACK ONE SLIDE? [OVERLAPPING]
>> THE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY [OVERLAPPING].
IT HAS TO BE CORRECT IN THE MINUTES.
>> ANGELA THIS IS THE CORRECT LEVY RATE.
THIS IS JUST FOR THE LEVY OF 4.3 MILLION.
YOUR SIX POINT SOMETHING NUMBER INCLUDES THE LEVY AND THE DISTRICT'S MATCH.
>> IT INCLUDES THAT 25% MATCH FROM THE DISTRICT, CORRECT?
>> THE 4.3 IS THE AMOUNT YOU'LL LEVY.
>> THE TOTAL WOULD BE 6,536,000.
>> JUST SO EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THE SUPPLEMENT LEVY THAT IS POSTED UP THERE, $4,322,887 IT'S CORRECT.
WHEN WE GET TO THE SIX MILLION, THE DISTRICT HAS TO HAVE A 25% MATCH.
THAT'S THE DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE SIX PLUS MILLION AND THE FOUR MILLION THREE HUNDRED AND SOMETHING THOUSAND. THANK YOU.
>> I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT EXPLAINING THAT.
YES. THE 6, 556,000 IS WITH THE MATCH COMBINED TOGETHER, BUT THE APPLICATION IS JUST FOR THE FOUR MILLION.
>> SHARE THAT IN A MINUTE. THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-TWO THOUSAND TWO EIGHTY. THANK YOU.
>> BOARD MEMBERS, THE RECOMMENDATION IS THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVE THE AT-RISK DROPOUT PREVENTION APPLICATION WITH MODIFIED SUPPLEMENTAL AMOUNT LEVY OF 4,322,887.
>> THERE'S BEEN A FIRST AND SECOND.
BOARD MEMBERS, THIS IS WHERE OUR DISCUSSION WOULD COME IN.
IS THERE ANY MORE DISCUSSION REGARDING THIS? ANY MORE QUESTIONS?
>> THE QUESTION I HAVE IS WE'RE APPROVING THIS AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO FORWARD WITH THIS APPLICATION.
THIS ISN'T SOMETHING THAT'S HEARD LATER OR ANYTHING ELSE, CORRECT?
>> NO. DIRECTOR [INAUDIBLE] I WILL SUBMIT THIS APPLICATION.
>> GOOD QUESTION. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ANY OTHER COMMENTS? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF APPROVING THE AT RISK DROPOUT PREVENTION APPLICATION WITH A MODIFIED SUPPLEMENTAL AMOUNT OF 4,322,887 PLEASE SAY AYE.
>> [INAUDIBLE], I'M NOT SURE I HEARD YOU.
>> ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY NAY.
THE SECOND ON TO THE NEXT ITEM IS SECOND AND FINAL READING OF BOARD POLICIES.
[IX.C. Second & Final Reading of Board Policies – Dr. Rod Earleywine]
DR. ROD ERLIWIN.>> YES. YOU HAD HAD SEEN THOSE POLICIES BEFORE AND THIS IS JUST THE FINAL READING.
AT BOARD POLICY, THERE'S SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE LIBRARY PROGRAMS, LIBRARY MATERIALS, INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS AND RECONSIDERATION AND WHETHER THE INJUNCTION OF SENATE FILE 496 IN FACT HAD ANY BEARING ON THESE AND THEY DO NOT.
MY RECOMMENDATION IS TO APPROVE ALL THESE POLICIES FOR THE SECOND FINAL READING.
>> THOSE POLICIES ARE 431.05 EMPLOYEE TRAVEL TRANSPORTATION AND EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT, AR 431.05 EMPLOYEE TRAVEL TRANSPORTATION AND EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT, 503.6 ACTIVITY ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS, 603.10 INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS 604.7 LIBRARY PROGRAMS, 604.71 LIBRARY MATERIALS, 604.72 RECONSIDERATION OF LIBRARY MATERIALS, 803.2 PURCHASING AND CREDIT CARD USE, AND AR 803.2 PURCHASING AND CREDIT CARD USE.
BOARD MEMBERS IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THESE POLICIES FOR SECOND AND FINAL READING?
>> THERE'S A FIRST AND THE SECOND.
BOARD MEMBERS, ARE THERE ANY DISCUSSIONS REGARDING THESE BOARD POLICIES?
>> YES, THIS IS RAMS AND I APPRECIATE THAT WE HAD THIS BEFORE US BEFORE.
I'M LOOKING PARTICULARLY AT THE SERIES 600 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM 60310 ABOUT

LIBRARY MATERIALS ON THE LAST PAGE FOR OBJECTION TO INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS AND I HAVE NO HEARTBURN WITH PARAGRAPH 2 OR 3.I GUESS I NEED CLARIFICATION ABOUT HOW PARAGRAPH 1 WOULD WORK.
I HAVE A LITTLE HEARTBURN, ONE PAT ON PERHAPS MOTIVATED BY SOME AGENDA, IT CAN COME IN AND SAY, I WANT THIS TO REVIEWED.
I ALSO READ IT CORRECTLY, I UNDERSTOOD THAT DR.
EARLY WINE AND STAFF ARE GOING TO COME UP WITH A REVIEW COMMITTEE STRUCTURE AND PROCESS THAT MAY TURN THAT DOWN.
BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE NEW LAW WAS INTENDED TO NARROW THIS TO ONLY THE QUESTION OF LIBRARY MATERIALS, WHETHER THEY'RE AGE APPROPRIATE FOR THE LIBRARY AND THE RESULT OF THAT CHANGE WAS TO ELIMINATE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A PARENT OR GUARDIAN TO JUST COME IN AND COMPLAIN ABOUT THE BOOK MATERIALS IN THE LIBRARY.
ABOUT CONNECTING IT WITH THE STUDENTS, ESSENTIALLY REJECTING IT FOR ALL STUDENTS.
AM I JUST WRONG ABOUT THAT? THAT THIS OPPORTUNITY IS STILL PRESERVED AND THAT'S WHY WE NEED THIS POLICY?
[OVERLAPPING] SPEAK TO THIS MRS. DEBBIE, OUR LIBRARIES AND OUR LIBRARIAN, SHE'S OUR CURRICULUM INSTRUCTION AND ASSESSMENT DIRECTOR.
BUT YES, LANCE, SORRY, DIRECTOR, THAT IT IS A REQUIREMENT THAT ANY PARENT HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHALLENGE A BOOK.
>> THAT IS PART OF THE POLICY AND THAT IS PART OF THE RECOMMENDATION.
THAT'S THE PREVIOUS PRACTICE AS WELL, WITH THE RECONSIDERATION POLICY FOR INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS AND LIBRARY MATERIALS.
AGAIN, WE HAVE A COMMITTEE ESTABLISHED WITH PROCEDURES THAT WOULD INVOLVE REVIEW OF THE MATERIALS SO THAT WE AREN'T UNNECESSARILY PULLING MATERIALS.
AGAIN, WE HAVE NOT HAD THIS HAPPEN RECENTLY SO I FEEL THAT OUR PROCESS AND THE ITEMS THAT WE HAVE PUT IN PLACE WILL ALLOW US TO APPROPRIATELY EXECUTE THIS POLICY.
>> THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THAT EXPLANATION [INAUDIBLE].
>> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION OR COMMENTS.
BOARD MEMBERS, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
THE POLICY IS APPROVED FOR THE SECOND AND FINAL READING.
FIRST READING OF BOARD POLICY, DR.

EARLY WINE. I'LL JUST GO OVER THEM REAL QUICK AND THEN YOU CAN COMMENT AND GO AHEAD.404.6 JURY DUTY AND WITNESS DUTY, 404.7 MILITARY LEAVE, 431 EMPLOYEE COMPLAINTS, 404.9 HOMELESS CHILDREN AND YOUTH.
BOARD MEMBERS IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THESE POLICIES FOR FIRST READING?
>> WE HAVE A FIRST AND WE HAVE A SECOND.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION OR QUESTIONS?
>> DR. EARLY WINE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO COMMENT ON THESE?
>> YEAH. THEY'RE JUST MINOR CHANGES TO THESE POLICIES?

THE REASON I BELIEVE IT'S ON SUNDAY, INSTEAD OF THE DESIGNATED JANUARY 15 MONDAY, JANUARY 15, 2024, CELEBRATION OF MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR DAY IS BECAUSE OF THE CAUCUSES THAT ARE SCHEDULED FOR THE 15TH.
