Jones we have a second think about Miss Holden board member questions to ask because I think we need to have a way to rather than just a sheet of paper did it gets are we able to get it in there without too if they're on social media location of the technology piece and it's just a flat rate so I'm looking at this technology charges that's that's our cause we we're not going to have the parents paid like $75 and $50 and they're just kind of a flat feet or is it DC's districts around to pay up front is the yearly technology fee of $20 that's for high school students more than three students in their household he know we cut it off at a certain point all students required to receive me yes we are going to be one to one all right 42 question I know you spend a lot of money Honda past two years old on on buying purchasing computers so and I want to see last last year we probably was behind the curve that did the war happened to it as much as possible so what bringing in the school and the teacher is going to be incorporated in into the that work and then taking them home has it is there a fan for that my car to the school at the high school level they are bringing the doing from school assessments are also going to be done online to get them acclimated for the lead testing because we know that some students were and acclimated because they were still taking paper-based test so that's going to be one major changes well that all assessments will be given online third grade third grade up show is what about I know we said what about hardship will it be an application for people who have just like would you have to have the application if they have the hardships they are so that's been part of the all right can someone off it depends on the programming because some of our programs are web-based because it is not here Brokaw is tomorrow yes this is Rebecca Johnson approval of revised for 2020 to 2023 requires action public, disclose Miss Johnson the only revision to the organizational chart is that the director of data management is now going to be under the direct supervision of the interim superintendent is it listed in the Director of Human Resources will follow now under the assistant superintendent nothing else was changed Merry Christmas Johnson did you contact the ethics board the reason why I am asking was this required because I know every year my mom was a teacher I had to sign a disclosure saying that my mom was a teacher and other board members did also and one of the ends off was that if they were certified teacher they were allowed to work so I'm just curious that the town was it required have to disclose if there is a family member that's in the organizational chart in the application process but no I did not see if I had to do this but for vacation purposes I just wanted to make it known that an evaluation any other board members text Helen Kanye's into Oz Adam-12 $4 of Interest study when I have Finance just bored Miss Michelle do you want to share just some of the items that are on the agenda cuz I know there's some people that I like hey y'all I just want to let everyone know first of all the meetings are public and also that we have the initial proposal from the salary study committee board pass tonight is to make sure we have something is placed that our employees know that we want to make the salaries better we have not fixed all of the problems that are in the salary schedule but we found that the first movie made was the one that was going to make make a difference but typically with certified teachers so that we can help when they're hiring people during the next couple of months prior to school opening along with making sure we retain the people or hear by letting them know cuz I hey mister bro before actually it's a minimum for teachers of a $4,500 the district 1500 from the state along with whatever they increase May events and that for other employees they're getting a minimum of 1750 so that everyone salary will move and we will look to address those specific issues but one of the things we know is that there's something specific salary schedules that are far below what other districts are paying and we know we need competition and not just the teachers the reason we want to fix the teachers first was because that's the way I are the affect most of our students and what we will be talking about in the next meeting we will eventually look at all of them salary schedules to see where we follow the line but we have on the agenda for the one coming up to talk about I'm a systems principles nurses and counselors cuz I know that's in a group we also have the clerical the 12-month clerical staff because there were some discrepancies least two years ago we are also adding a schedule of when we will discuss our thoughts are that we do not bring individual things back when we get ready to say the next fix will be effective for the salary schedule so we put we need to have people who were going to be working with us to help determine what is appropriate how do we match between rashes and making sure that we are looking hard at the ones that are either below-average or ones that are on the money or one that need a bump to help get them to be competitive with District I put bus drivers on there cuz I know that's another issue we need to look at because that's another area we have a severe shortage in so I just to let everyone know it's a broad committee if it's open people who are not on the committee can actually come and share information we want to right and we are going to continue to work and bring the proposal back to the board hopefully in a couple of months to complete that Denver Zoo open the door good morning but I know miss you always talking about all the districts and it sounds going to mention that other districts are using the injectors are we thinking about putting the index make sure that we get this right the first time I meet you don't have to come back I really only for the others we come back to fix the teachers and certified Personnel but for support Personnel I think it's just looking at a comparison I didn't I didn't see an index the index scale is mostly foreign Ministry yes dental office principles assistant principals coordinators they ripen and Mary Kay is also on that. Effectiveness so that we can come up with since we are no longer going to have the niet tap that we will have some form of paper Effectiveness as other districts to and what cost at might be I know we discussed it but we haven't really had in his in the Gin died a regular go ahead I will check on that regular board meeting is July 16th I'm sorry July 14th on the Westbank we going to put out a notice for lmf probably tomorrow once we can get dates and times so that if I the members I'm thinking the second week in August because we should have scores by then after I spoke to Miss Johnson who believe we will have scores panda bear last week in July will get test scores so I think it'll be a little bit more meaningful for us to be able to look at our data so whatever that second week is the first week there is a lack of complication. things for on the 4th you have something for the staff so that week is not a good week so the second week any other board members Adams Adventures do I have a motion to adjourn Jones Pearson 12 yes I gave three accent good night everyone
