##VIDEO ID:xdB6TpC0suU## stands indivisible andice please put your cell phones on silence and then we would like to the World Report always riveting every year and you've heard it a few um so you have copies of the world Workforce summary report and there extra copies out on the back table as well um I did do some slides just to kind of go through that piece this is the final year of the world's best Workforce legislation um the new legislation that takes its place is called the comprehensive academic and Civic Readiness legislation sounds hard to say it is it is exactly so we're still working at acronyms as well for it the legislation itself in terms of like types of goals are very similar in nature in terms of we have goals around literacy we have goals around mathematics and then gos goals around career and life ready so what students are graduating with and make sure that they're ready to to enter the world whether it's the workforce four-year degree two-year degree whatever postsecondary option people are looking for so the world's bestest Workforce presentation though is last year's information and there are five areas in the world Workforce the first area is around School Readiness we did two goals we did the last three years these gos looking at um something around engagement with community and so this last year we look to increase the number of kids scaming um just to looking at that kindergarten Readiness we have families that don't always use preschool or always use some sort of programming before kindergarten and so making sure that they've got to process um we actually had fewer students through last year in terms of screening um which is also could be looking at number of births in that area and that time frame too so the second goal is always around our uh Readiness program and we continue to use TS gold um which is looking at those kindergarten Readiness um skills 90% uh or 90% of our students reaching all of their goals um and we continue to get almost to 100% with that so we are looking at that we're looking at TS cold is required in terms of of what we do our assessment on but we're looking at our curriculum in particular and making sure that there are other uh skills we should be adding to this as well in terms of getting ready for the second area is this is known as the read well by third grade um so it's around literacy in particular um this last year we started to expand the goal previously we really looked at third grade because that was an MCA score we looked at that that was the first MCA score they took um we looked at our data from K one two and three we are really moving towards monitoring what is that progress from K one two and three as we progress up um for kindergarten in first grade we use word study information or word study data so that would be like your um how they build words how they know their words uh whether that was a spelling test or whether that was phonic based and previously phonics has been uh very little in the Reading Wonders curriculum and so that is a big change now coming to this year so we are moving uh to away from that curriculum and so we expect this change actually to be greater in next year as we go through but in terms of kindergarten um we continue I'll get to the results the second round word study first grade around word study uh third and fourth grade looking at our star data which is our previous assess data um and how they did we met the goal for kindergarten first or first grade we continued to have that as an issue and that's part of the change over to youth line and so um that data in terms of what we're looking and what we're measuring with is has been our biggest concern obious it's not measuring what we need to measure and it's not telling us our proficiency because then we see third grader our third graders weing we need to see that score be a lot bigger but so you're saying we're missing the disconnect in first grade in terms of that data this year's data will be driven by youly which is our new curriculum and that is progress monitored weekly and so we have data as we are progressing all through the fall is it the wrong data I would say in first grade yes it's the wrong data yep so this is the the curriculum in in terms of where you had a letter right and the letter progressed through as your reading level not the Reading part of it but it was to word studying and so in particular in first grade you were a parent and your kid was at a G right G's number of skills looked this B was huge right in terms of 14 15 different skills and so one kid could have this skill but another kid has this skill that's not working youly isolates every kid to the skills that we're missing and we fill those holes and then you can see in terms of third grade and fourth grade they get to a more standardized assessment it's a digital U with third grade we met with fourth grade we did not meet um we were close to it but we we did not meet the the final the Third third area is the achievement Gap and we talked really heavily at the district leadership team around this we really struggled socioeconomic is where the Gap would be for us to look at but in terms of teaching and in the classroom that's protected data we don't have that piece of it but we really looked at our system as a whole we need to continue to work towards how do we get our math and reading scores up and so we set those goals for reading and math at the elementary the middle level in terms of overall so the previous goal area was on that grade level completely these um were on the entire Elementary the entire Middle School right with our um Elementary in terms of math we set a goal we set it separately for middle school and then for reading we set it separately for elementary and we set it separately for Middle School the result that we had is that we met in all four of those goals so the elementary overall every kid that took the star math assessment um we met the goal 74.8% oops a back um from a goal of 65% so almost 10% higher um we set the goal for math in the middle school at 45.8% we got 45.8 n% so we were pretty spot on in terms of our goal for Middle School for our elementary and reading we set the goal overall for 50.3% and for our overall in Reading we were at 54.6% and then for Middle School reading we set it at 48.2 6% and we ended with 49.8% so we we focus on those pieces we focused on our intervention to collectively as a whole we look at that and say that is not nearly high enough in terms of what our what we need to have for reading and math proficiency so that is one of the biggest drivers for the change in Elementary in our reading program so and we have the redac that's driving a lot of it but we were moving on those pieces even the year before the react went into place the last two areas so the fourth area is on career college readiness and so this is that PLP the personalized learning plan um that we are actively trying to get more and more students into that planning part especially 9 through 12 um so we have a a program called School lengths our goal is to get to 95% of Grade 9 through 12 students in there we achieved 90% And so this is something that for the last two years has been in ninth grade and we continue to build up from there uh for those of you in the DLT we've had the conversation around those 11th and 12th Goods taking PSO and some of those things TR to get kids to capture that information it takes a little bit so we we've listed that one this one as we're on track we're moving towards that this year we'll have three grade levels all who have done it as their freshman class and continue and then the other goal around vocation ready indicators this is an ongoing we're not completed with this one yet this is um our data warehouse prolific is actually capturing all that information so that when students have a uh job shadow or they have a work experience or they have uh a workplace Wednesday where they go get information about a job or a career in the future or they're getting dual credit so they're getting college credit we collect that information our goal is that every kid leaves here with some value ad that they either leave her with college credit they leave here with a certificate or they leave here with um a job shadow or some sort of job experience if they have all three that would be even better right but the goal is that every kid leaves here with some sort of value ad the final area is for World Workforce is always on graduation and this is the one that is probably the most frustrating um because the state is the actual one that calculates it last year's graduation rate has not been released yet um but it's due in December and it's usually released in January or February our graduation rate so our students that we had on the last day going to graduation we were at 97.5% the last few years with the DLT we have set this at 90% we''ve just kind of kept it at that that piece of it what happens at the state is depends on when a kid comes to us and so if a kid comes to us in mid year of their 10th grade year they don't count as a student in our graduation they actually count where they came from where they had the most schooling and so the state looks at that as as an equalizer on that piece of it the extreme would be the senior that comes to us in Nepal they had three years of school and sell other place and so whether they didn't graduate or did graduate their data is counted towards whatever school it came from um the the leg time is probably the biggest complaint that we have in terms of getting that information back to us but in terms of where we're at and the kids we have on on the day of graduation or in that last semester we run pretty high which is good which is great the goal is always 100% but we know that life happens and we have to help some kids get there and sometimes they take longer than four years they take four a half questions on the world's best Workforce I presented it on the world's best Workforce when it went into legislation and so I'm pretty happy to say the last one too yeah you done with it and we'll start a new one I I will say I like emphasizing that while we met our goals that 50% that yes it's good that we bet that we're not happy with those numbers and just kudos for making changes so that we can and it's other schools too it's not just us all across the state like that if there's no other questions I would entertain a motion for I'll make second all those in favor iOS we start the next meeting in two minutes as agenda you have a list of the donations I do need that but I do not my computer dead today what total I mean the year that

there anything you would like to add to them no not at the time then we will move on to curriculum we did not got a we Rock Show ton I like it here go um so I give you guys a copy some my repor is just a summary of the DLT but I gave you a copy of the slides as well right um within the DLT we use that for collecting feedback um on programming pieces um on feedback just on setting goals and things like that so the last few pages on the slide deck is feedback that came from that meeting um but just to go through the summary the first thing we talked about was World Workforce and we went through that initially summary report we have that presentation we have this presentation and then October it gets submitted to the Department of Education um and so within that time we collect any changes any tweaks spelling mistakes things like that just to make sure that we got everything in order before we hit submit so the with that continuation of data and talking about that we looked at the regional MCA assessments and looking um with that I put that in the October meeting last um month and so you guys saw that um we really are kind of the middle of the pack in that piece of it that's something that we would like to continue to push ourselves so that we are in that upper above where the state level is but also just looking at things like reading in particular we want to make sure we're well above that 50% Mark so um we talked about school within a school and looking at that it's the second year of school within a school um looking at that programming in particular we increased math in um in reading or language arts time in the school that was one of the the factors we looked at what could we make an adjustment to we've done curriculum we want to make sure how do we get more time um that we feel like we're making progress we're moving towards that um into our second year we didn't we tweaked a couple things but not too much and um so we're happy to see more time being put towards those skills um Talk briefly about fast bridge that that change over we talked multiple times at the school board level as well the change from star test to fast Bridge was a requirement for us to do with the react but also we changed over for mathematics as well very similar to the star assessments uh career programming I think those are some always for me the exciting ones as well we have a CNA program that is going on we had four or five kids graduate through that or get a certificate last year we have four kids going through this semester we have four kids registered for next semester so continuing and pushing that career side of it we have a CDL program going to come along come online in the spring for the coursework side of it and so kids can get all the coursework done before they would get the behind the wheel um we don't have that set up yet but that something also goal for us um so looking at kind of those things as we go and then School LS as I mentioned in roest Workforce is a big that we're pushing I suggested other like that to Jason yeah and we're looking at more and more things we' got the CNA and the CDL to the youth skills Grant and so looking at how do we expand that out as well again that value ad piece is how do we get kids a certificate so that when a kid graduates from Pillager they have the leg up right they have that in hand we do that with serf safe we have pieces we need to make sure that we have that across the board um on the back side we talk Food Service there's a wellness committee that that is being run to Food Service so got feedback got more feedback at The BLT as well and then the last thing we we ended the meeting talking about PSO versus CIS and this will continue to be a conversation piece uh PSO costs just continue to rise and the the requirements to get into PSO have changed and really have gone away since Co a lot of that um ended and so looking at what do we offer in CIS which is college and the schools versus a student taking PSO and really looking at how do we advertise that programming so that we know that um otherwise we're looking at students taking the PSO courses in some cases not ready to be out there independently that don't have access their parents don't have access to that to the college level we're in CIS they still have that access to how they're doing and how their students is doing and so there's a lot of things that we're look at to really encourage families to look at CIS and say this is the better option for you as a high school student PSO has its place the question is how do we manage this growing number I and I wish it would change at a state level the fact that they took away um needing to pass an accuplacer to get in to the college class is ridiculous one of the things you should have a basis of being ready and then also the fact that you can apply and start taking and the schools have to pay for spring classes before anybody ever knows that you failed out or went through from all your fall classes is Asin the the timeline is not back to to any High School the college in12 timeline do not align and that is across the board across the state and that is something in particular that we have to at state level can students that just take CIS classes can they get an associates degree then do they have to do PSO they can you can get an associates degree through CIS classes PSO or a combination of the two the thing that um we have to do more and more is to look at what is that PLP what is that plan Beyond there is there is advantages to getting a AA degree and there's a disadvantage to it as well so when that student is looking at so two that came to the DLT we talked about this that they they kind of talked about their experience with me that by getting that AA degree and stamping that AA degree they both have the plan to get a four-year degree though and so they've taken classes that they didn't need to take in order to go into that four-year degree so advantageous to get the college credit not necessarily to get that a a degree it always depends what you're looking for like I got I got mine through school when I was here and I went to NDSU and I lost points because I had that because you had it done correct right yeah and the the one student that that I talked to and it was great we had a great conversation he is going to start his first semester next year as a part-time student because he doesn't have any classes to take because he he had taken them previously and so some of that is just working through that process they can get super close to that two years of of college credit but not necessarily to say that I got this completed we want to continue it on there is the advantage though for a student that is looking at I want a two-year degree and be done right and then we want to make sure that we we've helped them open the doors they need open question I just think you should highlight too we asked two questions of the DT that you know should the district continue looking to expand those those programs and offerings here whether it might be trying to you know trying to do something more online here by hiring part-time people that have the credentials to teach those and you see there that 88 86% said yes to question one and 71 said two so you know we use that DLT DLT team to drive some of our decisions that like such as Schoolin school that generated from the DT not So Much from the board or from us we bring it up to that team and then that's you know we have parents on that we have students on that we have staff members on that so when we come back looking at the spring maybe we hire a couple part-time people and we have to look at our electives and what we can offer and what are kids taking right are we offering things that kids don't want to offer or don't want to take that might be some adjustments that we make as a district based off of that so that that's good information for us to say you know the DLT also decided that this is something we should do not just us or the admin and the other thing that came out of the DT meeting was I mean even one of the CIS teachers explains her rigor in her class A lot of kids don't want to take it because it's more work than taking a PSO class and that's that's the information that we we're collecting also from kids is that it is what's the difference between me taking it as a PSO versus CIS the there obviously a huge number of kids that take online and the flexibility in the schedule is a big piece two guys I talked to that they they have a job and they work part-time throughout the day but then they can do their coursework at a different schedule and so that's something that we have to adjust to the reality of the future and all of their course work is out on Monday and have Friday it was interesting I liked the ones that were and having them speak for themselves was phenomenal yep I liked it any other questions for Ryan thank you sir anything else from the curriculum committee policy did not meet activities um we did meet we made today for two hours hour and a half an hour 45 minutes so with that you guys have a packet on your table that is I'm GNA highlight I'm not going to Deep dive I have to make sure that everything for you guys have the information that you need you can look at it if you have any questions give me holler um otherwise I'd be sitting here for 30 40 minutes explaining exactly everything that's going on okay um so we started out with the fall activity summary um numbers and results are on the top page um cross country girls Atlanta Dobson um broke the state of School record for Pillager on cross country school or no school sorry for yep um football finished seven and one volleyball had 11 wins um then we went on to the coaching evaluation um they are completed um formal write up will be um coming soon from uh Mo then we met uh or talked about the changes or needs for next fall um it looks like as of right now they were going to look at extra coaches for volleyball but we don't know we're going to hold off on that until we get more determination on other schools and how many coaches they have then student surveys are in the packet um for every sport in the fall um so you can read up on the student surveys they are done then we met uh we talked about the strength coach update um all teams were had a chance to to complete um the weight within the waight room the downside to it is was the open hour of lifting for students that weren't part of a um like basketball right now if you don't play basketball when do you have time to LIF weight so we're looking at at changing the time for kidss that are not in sports to be able to lift weights we might go open the Clos the morning morning open open in the morning so more to come on that one then we went into the winter activities uh all the programs are going strong right now everything's up and running it's a first week of Bas or basketball and second week of girls basketball um wrestling is up and going everything is pretty much up and going on that so and then we talked about the co-ops with Little Falls we have participants we got 28 wrestlers four gymnastics and four in dance um and then we have a plan for ending the co-op with Little Falls wrestling in January um then we will be full-time a Pillager wrestling next year Part City JB win this win will be just us you have to end the co-op this year Coop this year in January the paperwork's done a year in advance oh we will be but it do I was just kind of like sounds like okay we're ending it with Little Falls Co with Little Falls in jary we will have fulltime and the following year that make sense then sorry um coaching needs there is none then we went into the spring coaching editions for softball and baseball um with the students that are in the in the uh softball and baseball program it looks like we're going to need c-quad coaches for both softball and baseball which has been was just tremendous we haven't had a chance to have that for many years so participation is through the rough on that on the baseball and softball so we're looking at spren coaches can I touch based on that Brian yep that will be on addition to the budget for the budget committee as a second revision to add that c squad for baseball and softball and that's what GR ninth grade 10th grade that type of kid both ages so my recommendation to the budget committee would be to make that for the revision and then we also talked about uh the activties updat on the musicals proart one act speech robotics um update on Staffing everything's good on that side of it so we pretty much covered every single activity that Pillager has then we went into a ticket discussion uh fees were discussed um Sarah and I came up with the idea of of not increasing as of right now we had some push back not really push back but some people wanted to go to $10 and $5 for entry fees and we kind of said no let's stay at seven and5 but what we are going to do we are going to look at trying to move efficient with the liines and go to either online ticket ordering or activities or Square yeah we talked about just having a dedicated iPad so that people want to come and pay with their phone Y credit card or something like that so they just come through real quick because we don't have that of it you know so many people to that so we're going to look at into that so we talk about the pros and cons on that side um and then the participation participation fees were discussed these are all in your in the packet we're pretty much online with every other um School in our section yep so we are I figured we still low we've always been low we we are right there with every single except forer a was a little bit higher in one yeah but much for the most part we're right in line yep um and then we went into the Community Education and I'm going to highlight this a little bit more because I think Josh Smith is doing a wonderful job with the community head side of things um yeah is the Athletics we just don't give enough time with the community ed um the community advisory CR Council Is Made Up by Josh Smith Matt Mullen Sago Paul Clark Michael brand and Ben horn but within that Josh is uh really dedicated his time and his nuances that he has as Josh Smith to build the program up he's done a great job with it um fall update third and fourth PL football 4 43 were registered five to sixth grade tackle football 48 were registered 29 registered for third and fourth volleyball fifth and sixth volleyball were 40 registered second and third cross country were 18 registered and fourth and fifth grade cross country 17 were registered we did have to discontinue the team driver safety because the uh he had it up and running but the information we weren't able to get a week before a class so we had to discontinue that one but here's are some of the good things that it's going on with Community Ed women's beginner pickable full it was on September 17th it was full principles of retirement eight were registered on September 10th change the outcome opiate awareness 140 registered and that was on September 17th defensive driving was full with 15 registers babysitting 101 17 registered husky paw Art Club 20 registered and that was full Elementary Spanish 20 registered that was full um introduction to yoga seven registered wood Mosaic 15 registered and that was full we're looking at he's looking at doing more with that because it was a great turn off for that one fifth and 12th grade art Club um 24 registered beginning chess 10 registered adult strength and conditioning um three seasons October 1st 14th through December 20th 21 we registered um we don't have the numbers yet for the other two remaining it's January 6th and March 14th March 17th and Mar May 23rd um Community walking and then we have Youth Sports Coordinator Katie Schaefer is going to do the winner um it looks like wrestling we got 24 registered 19 register for registered for three through six um K through2 basketball 60 registered third and four girls basketball 16 third grade 10 fourth grade five and six basketball uh 15 fifth grade 15 sixth grade third and fourth boys basketball 18 third grade 21 fourth grade and fifth and sixth boys basketball SE 17 fifth grade and 11th or 11th sixth grade and then we discussed about shirts and jerseys how we can update them because we're back in the 1940s with some of the jerseys we decided today it was the 80s some of them I I remember I'm just saying we're looking at updating we're looking at updating talked going to dry the game up here um then classes in the planning stage indoor pickable we're looking at indoor pickable December uh December through January uh principles of retirement which I'm close to um American Sign Language uh CPR archery intro to Robotics protography and then just open gym suggestion yes on tip Tuesday you there'll be open Forum on Tuesday is on the Facebook page that you can make lots of suggestions they are going to be welcomed there you go be the first it'll be launched tomorrow there you go there's your suggestion and that was it for athletics unless you can think of anything else yeah can I add a couple things absolutely just to to touch base on troll start we changed that a little bit this year you know how they used to do the competition for cooking food they're not going to that competition this year they're going to do like a Hospitality competition where they actually open they actually create a business create the menu create the the seating and all that so it's actually like setting up a restaurant so it's not it's going to change a little bit this year and it's kind of what they felt was better best for the team that they had so it's still a competition it actually probably fits our area a little bit with the resorts so that's going to change a little bit then the only other thing I was going to add is that one of the reasons we had conversation with fees and ticket prices is just I just want you guys to be aware and and and the public to be aware of just in the last you know three to four years we've we've increased our budget and activities by probably close to $150,000 by adding programs adding coaches adding um cost to the salaries budgets Transportation so just you know we've put a lot back into our activities programs and and uh you know basically kept the fees the same which is which is fine but we've made a big commitment to when one of our goals in in that strategic plan was provide more offerings and more opportunities and and we've done that especially in the activities and you know you go back five or six years that even goes back to Middle School Musical and speech and and all those programs that we've started so just kind of wanted to give you a touch base on that we what we covered that as well anything else from activities all right moving on to facilities we did not meet probably meet in January I did a did have a meeting with wal today just kind of an update on the longterm facilities plann for the summer some of those types of things and I've also asked him to kind of do an update on the possible weight room SL remodel of wrestling room and what would that all cost because we did a really generic one you know I I want him to dig into that a little to dig into that a little deeper like what is the actual cost of the remodels of those two rooms as well so he's going to do that and we can have that presented for facilities in January we don't need to worry about they're fine with what they have they agre right was The Improv at this point that was it Prett yep all will be well Smith very happy anything else from facilities just trying to but when you make an agreement try well that's really coming from there need I would say it's coming from us as well you know the wait room is not sufficient for what we have so there's that driving that as well so I think there's a little bit of so budget budget we met on the 11th and we basically did the audit whatever the audit information which Missy is going to probably be her only maybe presentation of your business manager report are you small oh you have a report okay I'm ready if you want to go if you want me just to I didn't know if you wanted to go through the rest of the well we don't have a whole lot else that was on there we went over the audit we reviewed Student Activity balances and fundraiser updates not really anything to share of highlights no don't yeah but it was good though our numbers look really good because of our St okay through our presentation here so sorry you gave me a PDF and not the slideshow so I got kind of scroll through so um to start the audit process in the opinion so we received an unmodified opinion which is a cleen opinion which is exactly what we want and then as far as Communications the audit went smoothly we do have a positive working relationship with our Auditors they did not know anything unusual in the terms of any of our recorded transactions that they reviewed toout the audit um there was some significant estimates for the net pension liability B balances and the net opab liability balances and the amounts due from NV now I'm just going to note that the pension liability and the opep liability those numbers are all done by our actuary so that's where those come into play every year and then this year there was a new accounting standard that was adopted for accounting changes and error Corrections so they took that into consideration as well add it okay so internal controls so because of the size of our district we always have um an issue with our segregation of Duties that is just very common for our side we don't have enough people to disperse multiple duties to um audit adjustments there was various adjustments that were recorded by the Auditors during the proit process which again is pretty normal for the size of our district and then the financial statement preparation our Auditors do prepare our financial statements for us which again is far for our size of our district very common okay as far as Minnesota legal compliance they so they go through our Contracting our bidding our depositories um any conflicts of interest our public indebtedness claims dispersements our eups of compliance which the eups is how we C things to the State and then any miscellaneous Provisions so going through all of those categories they weren't able to find anything that was non compliant again that's exactly what we want so because we so with our federal funding we they have a threshold of $750,000 so if you earn more than $750,000 in revenue for federal dollars a year we also have to go through a single audit as well as our big audit so this year we they decided to look at our Child Nutrition they also gave us a clean opinion on the Child Nutrition and then they they did find in our CLA our me meal claims that some of the numbers were Incorrect and we tailored that back to a report we're getting out of our student ID system and the calcul the totals that they were using were calculations at the bottom of the report and that's pulling another number from somewhere else which our JMC system wasn't able to tell me what that number is so we're manually calculating the numbers which it really doesn't make a big difference right now because all of the student meals are free so all in all is it's something that we're changing for a future reference but it isn't anything that's going to take any effect financially on the district and has been corrected for the future all right the next page is just showing you our student numbers so as you can see after Co we kind of took a little dip and ever since then we've kind of been staging upward okay so now we get back into our general budget so the analysis and the budgetary comparison so this is going through it's giving you a comparison back to 2020 but it shows you the blue is revenues and the red is expenditures kind of showing you where we came in at the end of the year and then this is where we were budgeted so the final numbers so revenues came in so this is about 178 million and expenditures came in at about a flat 17 so putting an additional $800,000 back into our bank account and I'll go into this a little bit further on the following Pages here so here we got the detailed Revenue analysis so now we you can see the breakdown of the funds and where it's all where the money is coming from so the state sources so red is the 2024 and then the green is what we budgeted if you can see what we budgeted is a little lower than what we came in at and that is due primarily to our special education so special education revenue is kind of a wild card it's it's a guess it's there's many complex calculations that go along with it so we try to get as close as we can but it's also a year and a re by the time we receive the funding so it's it's we do the best that we can and then everything else was kind of pretty close local ly or local property tax local ly and thenal now the federal money you're going to see go down a little bit more next year because now we don't have that F funding anymore all right and then expenses so expenses again the red is 2024 green is my final budget so this is just showing you on regular instruction that we are spending a little bit more on educating our kid that's what we budgeted and then down here for the capital outl the you're going to see that was pretty high last year but now we're tapering it down and that's due to that Athletic Complex so that was that project was done as this last school year okay so now we're back into the cash and investment Trend analysis so you're going to see up here we were prettyy high with cash now remember that was when we went out and did the referendum project so we had more cash then and as we spent it the cash is going back down and then we did the athletic complex which may drop it down a little further and now after this last year we are trending back upward all right so this just gives you the fund balance classifications um what's in nonspendable restricted assigned and unassigned so right now in the unassigned we have 2 million that is available for spending so it's not restricted so everything that's in a restricted bucket is restricted to it could be restricted to School Readiness Community Ed um like gifted and talented stuff there's different buckets that certain money has to go towards they can't they can't take it from food service and towards yet can't fter through that way all right and then for earn assign fund balance this is just giving you the a trend line so last year we had went back down to 7.9% that was intentional with the athletic complex that we did and now with our balance be are back up to 11.8 so we did adjust our fund balance policy this year to be within 7 to 10% so we're just above that 7 to 10% where we want to be all right and this is an overview of the other funds within Food Service community service and that Debt Service um so Food Service the change in the fund balance was a little more than what we had budgeted which that's intentional because we've had a high fund balance in Food Service these past few years so that is intentional to try to spend that down because we can only keep 3 to 6 months worth of expenses in that account so the state wants us to spend that down and community service we're doing pretty good there and then Debt Service that went down as well which is of course what you want you want to spend on your debt and then this is just the trend analysis for the cash and the different lines have the different meaning so this blue line with the Stars is for our debt service which is pretty stable and then the building construction we saw back in 2020 when we started that project and now it's tapered off to pretty much nothing and then food service is kind of just hold and steady there and then Community Service as well money all right districtwide assets so we have the blue line is our current ass asss and the red is our Capital now note this one so the capital so this you can see that the capital went from 3 32.7 down to 31.9 and that's because of the the projects being completed now we're able to take advantage some of that depreciation so that's going to kind of down right and then the next one is just going into the liabilities and where those lie with current liabilities being the blue the red is the debt green is the net pension liability and then the net open Pur and then this again is just going over our long-term debt so the red being the Bond's interest and the blue being the principal so as you can see to get furthered in the principle is going to get higher and the interest is going to get lower and then he went over another accounting standard that's going to change next year which we're going to start preparing for now so next year the accounting standard is gby 101 for compensated absences so at the end of this coming school year we have to report to the auditors everyone that has time off that is that could potentially use it in the next year what the balance is at what value and then we have to also include the FICA and TR in that so doesn't matter if doesn't matter if they can't take it with them when they leave which is kind of end up little in the past it doesn't matter we report it for everybody and that was the audit report any questions on that can I get a motion to approve the final audit I'll give you that motion can I get a second I'll second any questions comments or concerns just like to congratulate Missy again on a clean audit she do a great job for us and and appreciate all the work she's done and good good numbers to get back to that 12% that unassigned fund balance was always nice to give you guys flexibility if you want to do some things with that so it's good any other questions all those in favor I I opposed motion passes still you if you have more uh we didn't have anything else like I just mentioned we talked about some fundraiser updates you know when people say they're going to earn this much money kind of what they earned when they had set their goals and we talked about Student Activity balances and just kind of got a report on each but not really any highlight specifically anything else I just going to add a couple of things so now that the 2024 audit is done we are going to start doing some preliminary work on the FY 26 budget to get started a jump start on that and then some of some of the reasoning behind that is our compensatory dollars the calculation is going to change next year and so that's going to be another wild card for us so the quicker we can kind of get a handle on what's coming down the pipeline the quicker we can kind of make some decisions what we want to do the truth and Taxation meeting will happen in December prior to the school board meeting and at that meeting we will also go over the levy so the lovey that we certifi back in September we'll be able to decide in December if we're going to take the full maximum or if you want to Mo in December what I got anybody have any questions for good job than you anything else from bud that's it thank you all right next we need to look at setting the January reorganization meeting apparently mik would like to change it from third Monday because I'm guessing that's a holiday K Junior Day to the 13th work for everybody said for January 13 now we have discussion yes I think it was an action I just thought we could do it I also mentioned at that meeting I would like to make a recommendation that we had this regular school board meeting on the third Monday of each month I would suggest that I would like to think about you guys if we can move it to the second Monday of each month because two of the the holidays always fall on the third Monday so then we're always moving it to the second anyway or the fourth so I don't I look back at the history of why it said the third Monday and the only I could find was it worked with a school calendar better which I don't understand that one and then it said because of holidays well the holidays are always on the third Monday so I'm not quite sure so I if if you guys would look like to look at your calendars because when we do have that Reg reorganization meeting it's part of there where we say we'll set the meeting for the third or the second Tuesday so if you're if you guys see that the second Monday would be okay I would make that change into that reorganization reorganization meeting and put it for the second Monday starting February there on fourth fourth if if we're going to look at changing things at that meeting also I'd like to look at a different way of doing the treasurer position more of the way the source well does it where I mean we can all still get the checks Brian and I had this conversation but where Brian is the one that definitely checks them all and goes through them and then reports that at the board yeah and makes the recommendation to and the would do that previous Mones Mak sense we had discussion do we have to would we change that on the is that just I don't know if that's a change in the yeah it's just the way we I would think it's just a change in how we do the business of the meeting I don't think there's anything that we change at that meeting so but I'll look yeah that this is the best time any other questions or comments on the reorganization meeting in January all those in favor opposed pass update from the Paul bunan education Co-op board meeting food was good and it was riveting yeah two and a half hours yeah we had a presentation on birth to three and three to five special ed and services and how kids qualify and get paid all they get paid um then I left because my eye was bothering but then they got into a political discussion legislative update yeah so that's about it good
