Sorry
adjusting
it
so
the
people
at
home
can
see
I'll
start
like
I
always
start
with
proposed
final
budgets.
This
still
can
change
in
the
next
30
days
before
final
approval.
So
your
approval
of
this
budget
next
week
does
not
lock
in
the
millage
rate.
It
does
not
lock
in
any
of
the
numbers.
It
is
just
what
we're
proposing
at
this
point.
E
E
E
E
So
we
are
looking
and
we
constantly
update
those
estimates,
but
right
now,
that's
that's
where
we
look
to
be
so.
You
started
with
a
beginning
fund
balance
of
24.5
million
you're,
going
to
end
up
slightly
just
slightly
over
24
million
at
the
end
of
the
year
again,
the
revenue
variance
is
really
looking
at
lower
eit
collections
than
we
had
anticipated
and
delinquent
tax
collections
are
slightly
lower,
as
well
as
our
state
and
federal
subsidies
that
we
anticipated
on
the
expenditure
side.
We
are
seeing
some
savings
in
the
especially
in
the
employee
benefits.
E
We
did
a
lot
of
analysis
this
year
with
our
utility
companies
and
communication
companies.
Mr
sleezak
helped
me
tremendously
doing
the
spyglass
audit
that
you
authorized,
so
there
were
a
lot
of
savings
that
came
out
of
that.
We
also
continue
to
do
really
well
with
insurance
claims
and
our
workers
comp.
E
Our
mod
is
going
to
finally
drop
below
one,
which
is
very
positive.
I
don't
know
how
much
you
know
about
workers
comp
mods,
but
one
is
typically
the
average,
which
means
you,
as
a
district,
are
paying
pretty
much
what
you
should
be
paying
for
the
size
of
your
district,
the
number
of
employees,
if
you're
above
one
you're,
paying
basically
a
premium.
So
let's
say
your
mod
was
at
1.25
you're,
paying
about
25
more
than
you
probably
should
for
premium.
E
Next
year
our
mod
is
going
to
be
below
one,
which
means
you're,
probably
getting
a
discount
on
your
rate,
rather
than
paying
you're,
paying
a
little
less
than
what
an
average
company
would
for
your
size
and
volume.
So
that's
that's
a
positive
as
well.
We
also
have
savings
in
the
area
of
supplies
and
software
costs
as
well
questions
about
where
we're
expecting
to
end
up
this
year,
and
you
can
ask
questions
through
this.
If
you
have
questions,
feel
free
to
interrupt
me.
E
This
is
where
we
stand
right
now
for
the
next
fiscal
year.
Right
now
I
gave
you
where
we
were
in
february
we're
at
about
3.78
million
dollar
deficit,
that
deficit
got
as
high
as
4.5
million
as
we
were
manipulating
the
budget,
but
at
preliminary
budget
time
you
were
3.78
million
in
the
hole
right
now
today
we're
utilizing
fund
balance
of
slightly
over
one
million
dollars.
So
your
revenues
do
not
your
expenditures
are
exceeding
your
revenues
again.
E
E
E
We
did
have
some
tax
assessment
increase
that
tax
assessment
increase
was
just
under
1
0.9,
which
did
generate
additional
revenue
of
five
hundred
and
fifty
seven
thousand
dollars
for
bethel
park.
One
mil
generates
about
two
point:
five,
eight
million
dollars
and
just
in
the
way
of
homestead
exclusions,
we,
the
median
household
income
right
now
for
bethel
park,
is
153
800
that
or
the
meeting
household
assessment
is
153.
E
E
E
A
A
B
A
E
E
E
Ideally,
you
don't
want
the
gaps
between
the
orange
and
the
blue
to
be
that
severe
this
year,
we're
trending
a
little
bit
the
opposite
way,
which
isn't
great
either,
but
you
want
those
percentages
to
be
pretty
close.
You
don't
want
the
differences
to
be
that
large.
That
means
you're
doing
a
fairly
good
job
of
hitting
your
budget
numbers
and
you're
budgeting.
Well,
it
means
you're
not
under
you're,
not
over
taxing
your
your
residence.
If
you're
coming
closer
to
that
number.
E
The
expenditures
by
operational
area,
the
largest
amount
of
your
expenditures
and
the
majority
are
spent
in
this
blue
area,
which
are
direct,
instructional
expenses
and
then
the
orange
area,
which
are
directly
supporting
the
educational
programs.
So
obviously,
this
is
not
unique
to
any
school
district,
but
the
largest
portion
of
your
budget
goes
to
instructional
and
support
services
that
directly
support
instruction.
E
The
rest
of
it
is
basically
your
athletics
and
your
non-instructional
programs,
the
real
thin,
yellow
piece.
There
is
your
capital
projects
and
the
the
lighter
blue
or
aqua
color
is
your
debt
service
payments
and
that
that
piece
of
the
pie
is
grown.
Obviously,
it's
about
nine
or
eight
percent
of
your
budget
right
now.
E
E
E
So
you
know
we
want
to
keep
those
gaps
fairly,
close
you're
never
going
to
hit
them
on,
because
there's
no
way
it
can
foresee
everything
that's
going
to
happen,
but
when
they
get
closer
we
know
that
we're
doing
a
fairly
good
job
of
budgeting
pretty
well.
The
budget
certainly
has
got
tighter
over
the
last
year.
I
think
the
process
that
we
go
through
now
has
lent
itself
to
really
thinking
about
what
belongs
in
that
budget
and
what
doesn't
belong
in
that
budget
and
leads
to
some
discussions
about
if
we're
going
to
have
a
new
program.
E
This
is
your
expenditures,
just
another
way,
broken
down
by
the
type
of
expenditure
it
is
rather
than
by
the
instructional
area.
The
large
blue
section
in
here
is
personnel.
So,
yes,
the
people
make
up
the
majority
of
your
costs.
It's
not
unique
to
school
districts,
it's
pretty
much
any
company.
You
work
in
followed
by
your
professional
services,
property
services
and
on
around
the
light
blue
column.
Here
is
your
supplies,
your
books,
your
software,
the
green
is
your
equipment
and
the
dark
blue.
Is
your
debt
service
or
no
I'm
sorry.
The
brown
is
your
debt
service?
E
Here
are
your
major
expenditures
broken
down
by
numbers?
Again,
personnel
makes
up
73
percent
of
your
budget
or
slightly
over
73
million,
and
then
you
can
read
down
the
list.
Debt
is
next
at
8.6
million
supplies,
books
and
software
4.3
million
tuition
costs.
These
are
tuitions
paid
to
students
placed
in
outside
placements
and
charters
and
cyber
charters
4.1
million-
that
is
up
from
prior
years
and
continues
to
be
higher
than
than
typical
professional
services.
4
million.
I
broke
it
down
a
little
bit
more
by
special
ed
subs
and
social
workers.
E
Legal
tax
audit
and
so
on,
utilities
make
up
about
1.7
million
repairs.
Telecom
services
and
other
services
are
1.2
equipment
slightly
over
1
million.
Most
of
that
equipment
is
technology
equipment,
but
we
have
another
slide
that
breaks
it
down
for
you,
capital
projects,
some
of
that
money
is
still
essers
money,
that's
still
left
over,
but
we
do
have
a
couple
capital
projects
planned
in
the
budget
for
next
year.
One
of
them
is
your
restroom
concession
stands
at
the
practice
fields
at
the
high
school
campus.
E
E
Yes,
that
has
that's
still
center
as
well:
you're
welcome
and
then
transportation.
The
majority
of
our
transportation
is
in-house,
so
we
pay
a
lot
of
personnel
costs.
You'll
find
those
up
under
personnel,
but
this
transportation
costs
are
for
some
outsourcing
insurances,
other
things
like
that
repairs
to
vehicles
and
so
on.
E
Just
a
little
highlight
on
personnel
on
where
it
stands,
we
did
have
12
teacher
retirements.
10
of
those
positions
have
will
be
filled,
but
you
do
save
money
when
you
don't
fill
positions
and
you
also
save
money
when
a
higher
paid
teacher
retires
and
you
hire
a
level.
You
know
step
one
teacher
the
savings
for
that
is
just
slightly
over
a
million
dollars
for
next
year.
We
still
do
have
two
essers
funded
positions
in
the
budget.
E
E
E
E
E
So,
although
those
things
are
currently
in
the
budget
in
the
way
of
special
ed
costs,
special
ed
costs
make
up
about
15
percent
of
your
budget
or
slightly
over
15
million
dollars,
and
there
you
can
see
the
breakdown
again.
The
largest
portion
is
personnel,
and
then
we
have
professional
services
for
anything
from
social
work,
to
a
lot
of
testing
services,
those
types
of
things,
aiu
services
and
so
on.
There's
a
number
of
tuition
costs
in
there
for
students
that
are
placed
in
in
private
and
charter
placements.
E
Here
are
your
equipment
purchases
in
the
in
the
budget?
Currently,
as
you
know,
we
started
leasing
technology
equipment
about
a
year
or
two
ago,
a
year
a
year
ago.
This
is,
I
think,
our
third
technology
lease
we,
I
think,
after
one
more
we'll,
probably
be
on
a
solid
rotation
schedule,
so
your
debt
should
become
pretty
level
in
your
budget
at
that
point,
but
we'll
be
purchasing
laptops,
projectors,
there's
some
capital
software
purchases
in
there
some
white
glove
service.
That
goes
along
with
those.
I
believe
there
is
a
motion
on
next
week's
agenda.
E
You'll
see
it
on
the
agenda
tonight
about
doing
the
lease
for
this
technology
equipment
because
we
want
to
get
that
approved,
so
we
can
get
it
ordered.
So
we
can
have
it
here
in
time,
but
this
is
the
next
step
in
those
replacement
cycles
so
that
your
technology
stays
up
to
date
and
doesn't
ever
get
to
be
12
years
old
or.
H
E
On
we
do
have
cameras
in
this
budget
as
well.
We
know
that
we
we
looked,
I
worked
with
mr
schlesak
again
and
we
determined
what
type
of
system
will
work
best
and
manage
best
into
the
future,
for
us
gives
us
some
flexibility
as
we're
going
to
be
realigning
buildings
into
the
future.
So
we
do
have
money
a
little
over
90
000
in
there
for
for
cameras,
and
then
you
have
some
tech,
science,
tech,
ed
musical
instruments.
E
There
is
some
money
in
there
for
security,
security,
uniforms
and
weapons,
there's
an
upgrade
of
the
led
lighting
replacements
in
the
auditorium.
That
is
the
we
did
a
phase-in
approach
to
those
lighting
replacements.
So
this
is
the
final
phase
of
those
replacements.
We
did
some
of
them
last
year
and
the
year
before.
So
this
is
the
final
year
of
getting
all
those
things
updated
to
led.
E
There
is
some
maintenance
equipment
in
there
they're
requesting
a
utv
for
the
maintenance
department,
as
well
as
a
new
mower
for
the
maintenance
department,
there's
also
a
box
trailer
to
be
replaced
for
the
band
use
and
then
some
some
soccer
goals
and
treadmills.
At
a
couple.
The
schools
questions
about
that.
A
E
E
E
These
are
your
trends
with
fund
balance.
For
the
past
several
years
in
1415
you
had
a
balanced
budget.
You
ended
up,
adding
to
your
fund
balance
slightly
and
then
again
the
blue
is
where
you
budgeted
in
1819
you,
you
planned
for
a
decrease
in
fund
balance,
but
again
you
saw
a
substantial
increase
in
your
fund
balance
and
then
the
following
two
years,
you
had
very
significant,
like
over
five
million
dollars
worth
of
deficits
in
your
budget,
but
you
didn't
see.
E
Here
are
your
breakdown
of
your
fund
balance
designations
in
the
current
year?
Right
now,
we
have
4.5
million
in
unassigned
fund
balance,
which
can
be
used
for
any
unanticipated
expenditure
by
code.
That
number
cannot
exceed
eight
percent
of
your
expenditures,
we're
just
around
five
percent
right
now,
with
that
number
non-spendable.
E
E
You
also
have
money
set
aside
for
retiree
severances,
retiree
benefits
and
for
capital
projects
that
have
not
been
transferred
to
the
capital
reserve
fund.
It
could
be
transferred
at
any
time
or
it
can
be
held
here,
and
you
have
the
flexibility
then,
to
change
the
commitment
as
you
need
to,
and
we
had
quite
a
lengthy
discussion
last
year
about
this.
I
think
in
june,
when
we,
when
we
did
those
commitments
right
now,
you
have
a
signed
fund
balance
for
future
replacement
of
ban
uniforms
for
40,
f,
45
000.
A
E
A
E
E
E
E
Currently
we
have
security
positions
for
all
the
schools
as
we
intended
in
the
budget,
but
we
have
not
been
able
to
fill
all
those
positions.
We
could
reevaluate
whether
we
want
to
fill
those
vacant
positions
or
not.
If
you
did
not,
that
would
save
you
about
a
hundred
and
forty
two
thousand
dollars
again,
not
not
recommending
it.
I'm
just
saying
that's
an
option.
E
E
But
if
you
chose
to
do
that,
there's
about
a
79
000
savings
there
we
could
cut
equipment
purchases
for
those
particular
items
that
I
listed
that's
another
hundred
thousand.
Currently
there
are
eight
social
workers
in
this
budget.
I
think
special
ed
can
speak
to
the
fact
that
they've
had
an
increased
need
for
social
emotional
needs.
E
A
A
We're
going
to
be
probably
more
than
a
million
dollars
in
the
whole
next
year
right
so
it
in
some
ways.
It
does
make
sense
to
have
this
view
of
you
know,
and
I
think
it's
great
that
you
identified
what
we
could
cut,
but
you
know
we're.
We
are
gonna,
we're
gonna
draw
out
a
million
and
we're
gonna
be
further
behind
next
year,
and
so
I
think
maybe
the
best
thing
is
to
kind
of
try
to
take
out
half
of
our
decimal
deficit
and
only
fund
half
of
it.
E
A
D
A
E
Does
generate
revenue?
I
think,
where
we've
seen
the
shortfall
is
obviously
because
of
covid.
They
haven't
been
able
to
have
events
so
you're
paying
for
someone
to
manage
an
auditorium
that
could
not
host
events
right.
So
our
hope
is
yes
that
will
that
will
pick
back
up
and
that
we
will
have
enough
rental
revenue
to
cover
the
cost
of
that
person
and
then
still
make
money.
G
E
There
I
mean
we
still
have
a
lot.
We
still
have
work
to
do
on
this,
and
I
think
there
might
be
other
options
that
crop
up
as
well.
I
was
going
to
suggest
not
that
you
want
to
have
another
meeting,
but
we
may
want
to
have
a
finance
meeting
sometime
between
this.
You
know
next
week
and
when
we
finally
adopt
the
budget
to
kind
of
go
into
it,
a
little
more
detail
with
options
and
things
like
that.
A
If
you
could
think
about
yeah
like
let's
say
we're
going
to
cut
the
deficit,
you
know
partially
by
you
know,
actually
cutting
some
of
these
these
costs
and
by
the
way
I
I
don't
want
to
do
all
the
talking.
So
if
anybody
else
wants
to
talk,
please
chime
in
it
may
be
up
to
half
of
it
through
the
fund
balance.
But
I
think
there's
a
third
thing
we
should
look
at
also.
A
I
think
we,
I
think
we
have
over,
like
100
students
that
are
in
charter
school
in
the
district,
and
if
I
looked
at
the
fast
facts,
it's
something
like
130
that
may
be
a
year
ago.
I
don't
know
if
it's
this
current
calendar
year,
but
that
was
published
by
the
state.
You
know
in
terms
of
number
of
students
like
about
three
or
four
times
higher
than
saber
st
claire
mount
lebanon,
and
you
know
peter's
in
those
schools
that
represents
about
a
million
and
a
half
dollars
of
money
that
we're
paying
out.
A
So
I
think
it'd
be
reasonable
to
look
at
the
other
side
of
the
equation,
not
just
cutting
costs,
but
how
do
we
bring
revenue
back
into
the
district?
You
know.
Is
that
something
that
that
we
could
do
to
have
a
you
know,
campaign
to
call
around
you
know
call
those
parents,
you
know,
try
to
talk
people
into
coming
back,
because
you
know
that's
the
easiest
money.
That's
the
easiest
way
to
balance
the
budget,
okay
without
any
harm
to
the
educational
model,
or
anything
like
that
seems
like
that's
something
we
should
just.
D
E
E
This
is
where
I
bel.
You
started
about
9.7
million
dollars
this
year
and
I
listed
for
you,
the
earnings
and
the
expenditures
from
the
current
year,
we're
expecting
to
decrease
that
fund
balance
by
seven
hundred
and
sixty
thousand
dollars.
So
that'll
leave
you
about
just
under
nine
million
dollars
at
the
end
of
the
year,
and
you
can
see
how
it's
committed
a
little
over
900
000
has
been
committed
for
turf
replacements.
E
We
maintain
826
000
for
bus
replacements
and,
right
now
we
have
267
000
in
there
for
future
paving
projects
that
does
not
obviously
cover
the
bus
garage
project,
but
we
know
we're
going
to
have
other
paving
needs
down
the
road.
The
high
school
is
going
to
eventually
need
some
work,
so
we
started
putting
money
aside,
for
that
still
leaves
you
about
just
under
seven
million
dollars
to
do
for
other
future
projects
right
now
in
next
year's
budget.
This
is
what
we're
anticipating,
starting
with
the
8.9.
E
E
So
at
some
point
we'll
want
to
start
building
that
back
up
as
we
start
to
build
long-range
capital
plans
and
projects
for
the
future.
But
we
know
in
the
near
future,
since
you're
cons,
you're,
renovating
the
middle
school.
Your
high
school
is
now
10,
plus
years
old,
but
you're
building
a
new
k-5
facility,
you're,
probably
not
going
to
have
huge
capital
projects
in
the
near
future,
at
least
for
the
next
five
years
or
so.
But
you
will
probably
start
to
have
some
needs
at
the
high
school
soon.
A
Yeah,
I
would
agree,
I
think,
that's
something
where
we
should
be
thinking
about.
I
don't
know
if
you
know
we
should
have
an
you
know,
estimate
by
you,
know
architectural
firm
or
something
just
to
kind
of
give
us
some
guidelines,
because
I
think
this
is
that's
an
area
that
we
should
be
self-funding.
E
Yeah
and
we
started
a
lot
of
that
with
the
high
school
and
the
other
buildings
when
we're
doing
the
facilities
master
plan.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
that
in
place
and
actually
we
were
going
to
partner
with
sitelogix
on
some
of
that
because
they
have
a
software
plan
program
that
will
help
us
do
some
of
those
projections
and
cost
estimates.
E
E
Your
construction
fund,
which
is
your
ims,
project
funds
for
phase
one
and
phase,
two
we're
going
to
estimate
next
year's
beginning
fund
balance
is
slightly
over
40
million
dollars.
Yes,
you
borrowed
42,
but
we're
going
to
be
spending
some
this
year,
so
I
just
started
with
where
I
think
you're
going
to
be
at
the
end
start
of
the
next
school
year.
There's
some
interest
earnings
the
costs
for
phase
one
are
in
there
and
we'll
probably
get
into
part
of
phase
two.
E
One
and
phase
two
of
your
ims
project
we'll
keep
you
up
to
date
and
we'll
report
on
those
on
a
monthly
basis.
We
do
also
have
a
small
scholarship
fund,
there's
about
203
thousand
dollars
in
there
right.
Well
we're
expecting
about
189
000
after
we
award
scholarships
this
year
in
that,
so
just
under
200
000.
I
E
I
E
I
think
we
should
probably
should
have
a
finance
committee
meeting
at
some
point,
but
again
we'll
be
adopting
the
final
budget
and
the
millage
rates
in
june
questions
I
do
have.
I
would
like,
if
you
don't
mind,
I
we
have
just
a
few
slides
sharon
copy,
pretty
much
manages
most
of
the
cafeteria
fund
and
her
and
joe
console
magno
are
here
tonight
to
give
you
a
brief
outline
of
the
cafeteria
food
service,
fun.
J
Good
evening
this
is
working
just
to
be
put
joe,
and
I
put
together
a
couple
slides
just
to
show
you
where
we
expect
to
be
ending
this
year.
You
can
see.
Last
year
we
ended
up
with
a
a
loss.
This
year
we
are
projecting
to
have
a
profit,
but
I
want
to
preface
that
by
saying
that
this
was
a
unique
year
with
covid.
J
You
know
the
waivers
that
were
in
place
during
covert
were
extended
for
another
year,
which
meant
that
everybody
received
a
free
lunch,
which
meant
our
reimbursements
were
very,
very
high
and
then
mid-year.
The
the
state
tax
federal
government
atta
attack
attached
on
another
25
cents.
In
addition
to
that
which
meant
the
reimbursements
went
up
again,
those
waivers
are,
as
of
today,
set
to
expire
on
june
30th,
and
the
only
thing
that
can
change.
That
is,
if
there's
some
new
congressional
action
that
takes
place.
J
J
J
J
F
Thank
you
sharon.
As
everyone
knows,
inflation
is
up.
Seven
percent.
I
mean
that's,
what's
driving
the
the
the
expenses
this
year
for
next
year,
so
we
could
fund
it
in
one
of
two
ways:
either
by
increasing
the
lunch
prices
or
by
taking
out
the
general
fund.
But
you
know
that
seven
percent
is
is,
is
tough
to
handle
and
that's
that's
basically,
what's
what's
driving
the
negative
costs
there?
F
J
Inflationary
costs
this
slide
here
shows
for
every
nickel
that
we
were
to.
We
would
increase
these
prices.
We
would
end
up
netting
at
twelve
thousand
dollar
in
income,
so
what
we're
proposing
which
would
be
on
the
next
slide
would
be
a
20
cent
increase
to
offset
the
loss,
so
the
prices
on
the
bottom,
the
board
says
bp
proposed-
would
be
the
new
prices
that
we
would
charge,
and
then
this
is
compared
to
the
data
we
were
able
to
find
from
upper
sinclair
peters
and
mount
lebanon.
E
A
B
A
Otherwise,
you
know
like
if
you
have
a
seven
percent
increase
and
you
try
to
defer
that
and
absorb
that-
and
let's
say
inflation
is
seven
percent
next
year,
then
all
of
a
sudden
you're
in
a
14
deficit
and
it's
hard
to
reclaim
that
in
one
year
you're
always
behind-
and
I
think
you
know
my
belief-
I'm
not
an
economist,
but
you
know
my
belief
that
you
know
a
lot
of
these
prices
they're
not
going
to
come
down.
Okay,
of
course
you
have
things
like
oil.
That
fluctuates,
but
you
know
some
of
these
costs.
A
I
F
E
E
L
M
Computer
timed
out
here
so
worked
closely
with
mr
zeeler
from
the
transportation
department.
Also
mr
mccauslan
was
involved
with
some
of
the
review,
the
presentation.
So
let
me
give
you
a
little
bit
of
background
about.
You
know
why.
So
we
reviewed
several
bus
following
applications
and
we
reviewed
and
considered
them.
M
Busware
came
out
on
top
because
it
works
best
with
our
current
bus,
boss,
transportation
software,
so
we
provided
mr
zeeler
had
provided
a
couple
buses
with
some
of
the
gps
application
from
busware
we
did
trial
runs,
and
basically
mr
ziegler
was
pretty
pleased
with
the
results.
In
other
words
did,
did
it
work?
Did
it
work
very
well?
M
Did
it
work
well
with
our
with
our
software
that
we
have
for
scheduling
buses,
and
the
answer
was
yes,
busware
happens
to
be
the
obviously
another
consideration
was
most
cost
effective
application
that
we
found
that
actually
works
with
our
system.
You
can
see.
Bus
ware
is
not
it's
pretty
across
the
country
and
really
in
a
couple
other
areas
beyond
the
us,
so
why?
Why
would
we
want
to
provide
this
service
for
for
parents
for
guardians?
M
Basically,
we
you
know,
we've
been
struggling.
This
past
year
it
was
evident
with
our
bus
driver
shortage,
it
forced
the
district
to
combine
regular
bus
runs
and
when
you
do
that
it
makes
it
become
very
irregular.
As
far
as
you
know,
every
day
my
bus
should
drop
off
at
a
certain
time.
Well
that
doesn't
happen
when
you
start
combining
runs,
and
then
you
know
covet.
On
top
of
that
would
hit
us.
M
You
know
weekly
daily,
some
drivers
would
be
knocked
out,
so
a
combined
run
is
now
changed
to
a
different
run
and
it
caused
a
lot
of
angst
and
really
parents,
I
think,
were
frustrated
at
times,
because
we
had
bus
runs,
really
arrive
at
the
elementary
level,
almost
30
minutes
behind
schedule
at
times.
So
it
was
pretty
significant.
M
With
this
app
parents
will
be
able
to
see
the
exact
arrival
time,
the
eta
and
the
location
in
real
time
where
the
bus
actually
is,
and
I'm
going
to
show
you
that
in
just
a
minute
here
where
their
son
or
daughter
is,
and
they
can
really
plan.
Oh,
the
bus
is
20
minutes
late.
You
know
I
can,
instead
of
sitting
at
the
bus,
stop
for
20
minutes.
I
can
stay
at
home
a
little
longer.
What
have
you?
M
The
district
will
also
have
a
record
of
all
bus
activity,
including
travel
time
speeds
driver
what
the
driver
is
doing
and
and
the
stops
all
that's
documented.
In
addition
to
the
daily
bus
runs,
we
also
will
have
the
ability
to
provide
after
school
activity
locations.
In
other
words,
those
invites
would
go
out
for
perhaps
maybe
it's
a
high
school
baseball
team
and
send
that
out
and
all
the
families
would
know
when
that
bus
is
going
to
arrive
back
after
the
game.
M
M
So
this
is
a
typical
kind
of
a
look-see
of
what
I
know
it's
a
little
bit,
maybe
hard
to
see,
but
what
a
bus
run
would
look
like,
so
the
the
red
square
circumference,
basically
the
bus
route,
the
yellow
is,
is-
are
the
stops
that
have
not
been
picked
up
or
attended
to
once.
It
gets
to
the
bus,
makes
that
stop.
It
turns
green
you,
so
you
can
see
where
the
bus
is
traveled
and
the
blue
is
where
it's
headed
and
once
again
it
gives
you
on
the
right.
A
M
M
So
another
thing
too,
I
mentioned
we
start
out
with
a
gps
recommended
route,
but
that's
not
necessarily
the
way
we
travel
because
oftentimes
gps
has
you
turn
around
and
so
forth
and
buses,
as
you
know,
they're
they're
not
really
to
back
up
and
turn
around
they're
supposed
to
go
one
way
and-
and
you
know
make
it
fluid
so
once
we
run
that
bus
run
a
couple
times
that
becomes
the
bus
route
and
that
that
gets
placed
in
the
system.
So
anytime
there's
a
change
scott.
M
M
A
N
M
Yes,
so
the
number
of
the
bus
is
not
necessarily
the
the
big
point.
The
the
fact
is
where
the
bus
is
heading,
all
the
pickups
and,
of
course,
as
you
know,
when
we
have
a
substitute
driver
when
we
have
another
person
doing
a
double
run
or
what
have
you,
those
times
will
vary.
So
it's
really
no
way
to
show
that
that
bus
is
always
going
to
be
on
time
and
once
again,
with
the
with
bus
driver
shortage
and
kova
knocking
people
out
those
things
have
really
been
impacted.
M
So
let
me
talk
to
you
about
a
couple
additional
features.
I
think
that's
pretty
interesting
so
beyond
the
fact
that
the
parents
can
go
on
their
their
smartphone
or
you
can
even
log
in
on
a
computer
you'll.
Also
scott
will
have
the
ability
to
send
out
a
message.
He
can
send
a
message
out.
For
example,
we've
often
had
breakdowns
we've
had
minor.
You
know
little
accidents
that
you
know
mr
cromey
scrambling
to
send
out
a
letter.
M
Well,
mr
zealer
can
send
out
a
message
right
away
that
net.
You
know
with
a
couple
clicks
that
message
will
go
out
to
every
parent
or
guardian
on
that
bus
route.
They'll
know
almost
immediately.
The
bus
is,
you
know,
has
a
flat
tire
and
it's
going
to
be
delayed
for
whatever
amount
of
time.
So
that's
a
nice
little
feature
that
beyond
the
fact
that
the
parent
sees
oh
wait,
the
bus
is
not
moving.
Why
isn't
moving
scott
can
send
out
a
message?
M
Also,
the
safety
feature
on
the
map
enables
the
family
to
really
see
that
individual
bus,
you
know
and
and
as
bus
ware
says,
like
they're
sitting
next
to
the
driver,
so
you're
not
gonna,
see
all
the
buses
you're
just
gonna
see
your
child's
bus
and
that's
another
piece.
That's
based
on
you
know
security
and
safety
for
for
your
child,
so
the
parents
once
again
they'll
have
to
upload
the
the
app
from
you
know.
M
The
app
store
google
play
or
and
basically
busware
would
send
them
a
notice
to
to
create
an
account.
It's
pretty
simple.
Now,
of
course,
we
did
review
several.
Several
companies
and
busware
was
the
lowest
in
cost,
but
it's
significant
cost
it's
around
31
000
and
it's,
but
it's
it's
for
the
full
year
and
the
contract
is
not
a
multi-year
contract,
so
in
other
words
one
we
can
really
discontinue
the
service
at
any
time.
It's
not
a
full
full
contract
with
multiple
years
or
anything.
M
O
Yeah,
okay,
just
as
a
clarification
question,
I
basically
think
I'm
asking
the
same
question
that
mr
christensen
said,
but
just
want
to
make
sure
I
fully
understand.
So
a
parent
would
be
assigned,
say,
bus
route,
4
for
their
kid
and
say
normally
that
would
be
bus
15.
That
would
cover
it.
Someday
bus
34
covers
it
instead.
Basically,
all
that
would
be
done
was
the
gps
assigned
to
that
specific
route
for
would
be
swapped.
The
parent
would
still
have
this.
M
M
O
P
M
P
M
Alerted
you're
you'll
see
where
the
bus
is
so
the
normal,
the
normal
track
of
where
that
bus
goes
is
highlighted
right,
and
so,
if
that
bus
deviates,
scott
will
know
it,
the
parents
will
know
it.
Everybody
will
know
if
that
bus
is
off,
route,
went
the
wrong
way
or
what
have
you
you'll
be
able
to
see
it?
It's
live.
M
M
You'll
get
you'll,
get
the
app
invite,
so
hopefully
that'll
be
correct.
That's
if
you
know
the
board
desires
for
us
to
make
this
leap.
It
is
significant
cost,
but
I
think
it
will
provide
the
families
really
a
peace
of
mind,
but
also
they'll
be
able
to
they'll
be
able
to
plan
better
with
knowing
where
the
bus
is.
A
So
I've
actually
had
a
number
of
parents
in
my
neighborhood
come
up,
and
you
know
a
number
of
elementary
parents
because
they're
the
ones
that
end
up
suffering
the
most
because
they're
the
last
run
and
yeah.
Some
of
them
were
standing
out
there
half
an
hour,
yeah
waiting
for
the
bus,
and
there
was
no
communication
because
you
know
like
from
franklin.
You
know
we're
only
like
a
two
minute
drive
away.
So
by
the
time
they
would
have
gotten
a
call
the
time
by
the
time
they
would
have
known
at
franklin.
M
And,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
we
do
have
at
times
you
know
a
minor
fender
bender.
A
bus
is
out
of
commission
something's,
all
working
right.
You
know
by
the
time
mr
cromey,
you
know,
gets
things
rolling.
You
know
it
could
be
a
significant
amount
of
time.
Scott
can
put
that
out
there
almost
immediately
and
it
will
go
right
to
all
the
families
on
that
bus.
I
Don't
go
anywhere
without
their
phones.
When
you
go
to
the
bus
stop,
so
you
you're,
looking
at
the
phone
going!
Oh
we
can.
You
know
you
can
sit
in
the
car
or
whatever
else,
because
there
is
a
time
lapse
issue,
but
to
your
point,
by
the
time
we
got
the
call
out,
the
parents
were
either
already
at
the
bus
stop
and
they
figured
out.
It
was
running
late
just
by
time
or
whatever
else
so.
G
I
M
I
A
To
vote,
but
you
know
my
view,
is
that
yeah,
it's
it's
extra
money,
but
I
think
we're
going
to
be
dealing
with
this
bus
driver
shortage
through
the
through
the
next
year.
If
we
can
get
to
the
point
where
we
have
you
know
reliable,
you
know
bus
runs
and
kind
of
get
back
to
where
we
were.
I
mean
I
I
think
five
years
ago
it
probably
would
have
been.
It
would
have
been
a
nice
luxury,
but
it
wouldn't.
A
M
C
That's
wonderful
and
it
can
handle.
I
think
you
said
reroutes.
I
live
in
a
neighborhood
with
very
steep
hills.
So
on
occasion
the
bus
is
not
able
to
come
to
the
neighborhood
and
the
kids
have
to
go
to
the
neighborhood
next
door.
So
I'm
assuming
with
the
click
that
message
can
get
out
so
they're
not
trying
to
chase
the
bus
down
an
icy
road
sure.
C
M
A
great
question:
you
know
how
it
works,
the
parent
or
guardian
is
really
the
person
in
charge
of
of
that
piece.
So
if
the
parent
wants
to
share
it
with
their
middle
schooler,
here's
the
login
here's
how
to
follow
the
bus,
that's
up
to
the
parent,
but
we're
really
the
the
the
invite
is
to
the
is
the
parent
or
guardian
not
to
other
students.

It's
sharon,
I
don't
want
anything
held
out,
but
I
was
wondering
if
dr
walsh,
maybe
or
administration
could
talk
about
number
seven.
The
job
description
for
department,
chair,
facilitator
and
are
those
positions
I'm
assuming
are
already
filled
and
we're
updating
them
or
are
we
looking
for
new
folks
or
what
exactly
is
happening
with
that.
K
K
So
it
was
necessary
for
us
to
revise
that
job
description
to
include
all
of
the
new
processes
and
the
role
that
the
facilitator
will
play
in
those
new
processes
and
further.
We
we
have
to
we,
we
advertise
or
repost
this
for
new
positions
for
new
interested
people
to
apply
for
department,
facilitator
positions.
So
tonight
you
get
to
get
a
look
at
it
and
then
move
it
next
week
for
approval
and
we'll
post
and
hopefully,
by
june,
at
the
june
meeting,
we
can
approve
all
the
facilitator
positions
for
next
year.
