for the annual reorganization meeting of the White River Unified District Board at 6.01. Any adjustments to the agenda? We don't have a quorum yet. We do, I'm here. Oh, Andrew's there. Okay, sorry. Sorry, sorry. You can't put on your colors on this guy. Any adjustments? No. All right, I don't think we need to assign tidekeepers. So we're gonna get right to article four, the reorganization and start by a motion to elect a chairperson. I would move to elect Andrew Jones as our chairperson. I'll second that. Any discussion? Andrew, you're good to go. Yep, thank you. All right, I'll do a roll call vote. Shannon? Aye. Peggy? Aye. Aye. Andrew? Aye. It's all yours. All right. Thank you. All right, so next is to elect the vice chairperson. Are there any nominations for the vice chairperson? I would nominate Shannon to be the vice chairperson. I'll second that. Okay, we need to do a roll call for all these. No, I don't think so. All in favor, say aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. The clerk, is there anybody who's interested in being clerk? You probably should have talked about this ahead. So just to remind you guys, the clerk of the board, really it's about ensuring that our meetings minutes are kept, posting them if Tammy can't be there. Sometimes the clerk will take them, although I've also, we've been able to find, now that we record it, we've sent it to the note takers in the past, the recording secretaries and they still do them. So that's the big part of the clerk of the board. And if somebody's assigned a clerk now, can we change it? I would ask a question too. Does the clerk have to make sure that things get out to be posted in the different towns or do Christie send those out? Christie does it, but I've asked clerks to just make certain, we've had a couple of scenarios, Shannon, where all of a sudden someone stopped posting but didn't tell us. So if the clerk can just make certain that the town clerk's still doing, every just checks has been helpful. But now Christie sends them all out to your posting locations. I mean, I can do that unless somebody wants to or until we find a couple more people. Yeah, okay. If you're willing, would somebody like to make the nomination? I'll be happy to nominate her. I'll second it. All in favor of electing Shannon. Quick. Yeah, aye. All right. Aye, I assume I can hold two because we're here. Yep, that's fine. All right, so appointing three members to the WRVSU full board. Should we do me, Shannon, and Rodney with Peggy as an alternate? That sounds good. That's up to Peggy. I heard my name. Oh, sorry. We were saying appointing three members to the full board. We were going to say myself and Andrew and possibly Rodney and appoint you as an alternate if one of us can't make it. Yeah, we can try that. Again, hopefully the meetings are such I can get there. One way or another. We don't have to vote on that. Nope, you can just appoint us. One member to the WRVSU executive board. Is everybody okay with me being the executive board? I would nominate Andrew for that, yes. Or suggest. And Shannon, you want to be the alternate? Yeah, good with that. Tammy, are you okay with this appointing you as recording secretary again? The concept of recording secretary. I can't remember if this is really a Tammy duty or if this is the Bethel clerk duty. Can you clarify what this one is again? Because it's what you've been doing. Oh, okay, great. That's all I needed to hear. Yeah, I'm okay with that. Right. I'm not over committing by doing that. The official clerk at the meeting, Tammy. There was an instance two or three years ago where I was handling the count of votes and that is called the blah, blah, blah. And I just wanted to make sure that it didn't make that error again. Thanks. Yep. One member for signing AP and payroll. I think last year we wound up having multiple people able to do it. Rodney, would you like to resume signing AP and payroll? Yeah, I can do that. Okay. And then that can be a fallback if you'd be. Yeah, I'll be the alternate, I guess. With that. That would be great, because for some reason my computer and my phone do not like signing those electronically. Okay. Shannon, are you okay with staying on the negotiation board? I am happy to do that. I'll give you guys an update later. I'm going to point Shannon to the negotiation board. So Lisa was the person on the policy committee. Is there anybody who would like to do the policy committee currently? I'm willing to do that if... Okay. I could do that. We'll appoint Rodney to the policy committee. The truen officer, what did we have last year? What was that one last year? I think you probably went with a principal, although you could use the RPD. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's who we did last time. So you could use Royalton Police, or you could just actually, we could double check with him. Oscar might be a good one, because I think he works for the Royalton Police. And isn't he the Beffle Constable as well? So he would make total sense. We could appoint him. You remember Oscar's last name? Gardner. Oscar Gardner, and I can just confirm that he's going to take the appointment. I think he makes sense, because he's on the Royalton PD, and he's the Beffle Constable. Okay, we will appoint Oscar Gardner. So last year you had given that to the principals, and you're doing a change in process. Is that correct then? Is that intentional? Yep, we're... Okay. He's been doing more work in our schools too. I think that it's helpful sometimes. And his first and last name was, pardon me, could you say that again? Oscar Gardner. Thank you. Hope we just lost our quorum. Who just dropped out? Shannon. Shannon. Okay, I'm going to give her a minute to come back in, I guess. There she is. All right, sorry, my internet dropped out. Okay. All right, designating newspaper and radio station for official notices. The Valley News and Randolph-Herrol newspapers. And what do we do for the radio station? I'm going to look up the minutes from last year. That's probably the easiest. Greater Vermont Broadcasters as the designated television station. Sounds good. All right, Greater Vermont Broadcasters for the designated television station for official notices. Date, time, location of regular school board meetings. We'll stick with the third Tuesday of the month at 6 p.m. Alternating campuses with virtual auction as well. You're talking about when we're having the regular meeting? Yeah. Jamie, I'm thinking that we may be changing this, but- Well, I think you should- We're talking about it at the SQ tomorrow or the next day. Some talk at the SQ are doing some more wagon wheels, but I think you could still set this as your normal date and then you could still choose to move it to a wagon wheel. I don't see us doing wagon wheels every month. I think there's some months where we could do it when we're not building budget and things are that nature, but I think there's going to be times we're still going to need a designated regular meeting. Okay. And then Peggy had mentioned possibly doing the meeting at seven. And I think we have gotten much more efficient meetings over time than maybe boards were in the past, but I don't know how people might feel about seven, but Peggy had put that out on the table. What are you the administration like? I mean, it's a longer time to keep our principals around and our superintendent. So I don't love it because of that, but- I mean, if it works better for the board, I also think with hybrids, we can tune in at that time. If the board's comfortable with that. You know, I don't love being out till nine just to be candid, because I don't get home until 10 and I'm back in the office at seven. I don't think any of us wants or expects you to be out until nine or our principals either. So- I probably would refer to seven, but I think for now, why don't we stick with six and then see what happens with the discussions over? Yeah, we have less meetings. I think it's more doable, right? Right now I'm pacing four meetings a week. So yeah, I just, my Thursday afternoon. I would also say that perhaps when we do the wagon wheels, it might work better for the wagon wheel if other boards were starting at six, if we started at seven. So that might be a great way to sort of compromise that half of our meetings end up starting at seven, but- I agree. And that's part of what we're talking about too. Yeah, okay. So for now, we'll keep them at six, but have that any idea for whatever the discussion is tomorrow at the S2 board. Okay? Doesn't have posting places. So the respective post offices, town offices and school entrances and the website are the designated posting places. For any change we'd want to make to that. Well, the more places you have to post them, the more opportunity for errors. And that seems pretty comfortable. Okay. And then other. The RTCC board rep. Oh, okay. Could come under other. I left that off and in burdening. Right. RTCC board rep. Was anybody able to do that? Chris, I haven't been doing that before, so. I can do that. That'd be great, Rodney. Four meetings a year of Rodney and they feed you well. Yeah. I want to one or two in the past when Chris couldn't make it and, yeah, they're not very stressful meetings. Good. Thanks, Rodney. I should invite you to some negotiation meetings. We could switch. Do we want to do the finance and? Yeah, why don't we? Yeah. All right. For finance committee, I'll stay on that. Is anybody else want to be on the finance committee? Okay. I'll keep that as it currently is. And then facilities committee. Is anybody interested in joining with facilities committee at the moment? That was Chris and Lisa. So we have any board members on the facilities committee currently. I would, but sort of like Jamie, I'm at like four meetings this week and negotiations and things. I don't think I can take on another committee right now. Maybe we wait for another one. You get some other board members. Sure. Oh, I can be on it temporarily until we find the bail suit. Now we've already done the policy. Okay. I think we've done all the reorganization now. So move to our consent agenda. Approving the minutes of Tuesday, February 15th, Monday, February 21st, the special and then the informationals on February 21st and February 28th. And the March 1st annual, which I guess it's just the vote. Is that that? Yeah, that shouldn't have been on that. Yeah. You don't have minutes for that. So for the four minutes, and you can have motion to approve them either as a block or individually. I would make a motion to approve the four sets of minutes, excluding the minutes from Tuesday, March 1st, as a block. I will second that motion. All in favor, say aye. Aye. Aye. I'll step in and say aye. I just missed the last few minutes because we were dealing with a cow. We disapprove, we're disapproving minutes, Peggy, unless you had any corrections. No. Thank you. Okay. On the public comments. Is there any public comment at this time? I'd like to bring something to the school board's attention if that's okay right now. What do you do? Okay. My name's Karen Allen. For those of you that don't know me, I have three children in the district, one in kindergarten, one in third, one in sixth grade. A concern of mine that I've had for quite some time now. And I have spoken with Superintendent Kanarney and Andrew Bowen a bit about it and lots of people in the community. And I think it's time to bring it to the school board as well. My concern is that we have one-minute services, but I feel like there's a need in our community to expand those extensively. As a working parent, I struggled tremendously trying to find care for my kids during vacation weeks, during August, during in-service, although that has improved drastically this year. And I just want to find a way to help working families during those times. I think it's a pretty normal thing now to have school districts provide one, like after school, one-planet services during vacation weeks. And it's not something we're doing right now. So that is my main goal, is to get more services from one planet. I do want to say that Tara has been wonderful at South Royalton. She's been great and I want to give her kudos. I do want to say that I appreciate that Superintendent Kanari and Andrew Bowen worked with me to get 730 drop-off so that kids could get at school earlier and so parents could get to work. So I appreciate that. I do want to say that after working with you guys over the summer, you guys did bring more half-day services to one planet and I appreciate that. So I do want to say thank you. I do appreciate the work we've done, but I feel like there's way more to be done. And I have worked with the family place. I've reached out to them, for those of you that maybe that aren't familiar, but they help you provide childcare services. If you look on the Bright Futures or DCF website and you pull up right now, school-age childcare in our community, there's only one person or one community, one organization that provides that right now and that's one planet. One other person that we had in this community closed during COVID. So as of right now, the only licensed childcare for school-age children in our district is one planet. That's it. Nothing else. We have nothing. So with that said, what I'm proposing is we need to look at having February and April vacation coverage through one planet. I'd love to see more coverage in August as well. December break is not something that I need coverage for, but I don't know if others do. I want all half days because we have 14 half days in our district. That is a lot of half days for people that work to figure out. I wanted them all to have consistent pickup times. Like I said, you guys have increased that and I appreciate that. But I think it's hard when sometimes it's a three o'clock pickup, sometimes it's 5.15, sometimes it's five. Sometimes we find that information out days before the half day when that's gonna happen. I think we need consistent coverage on all of those days. So that's what I'm asking for. And it just needs to be, we need quality, affordable care. And I know it's not totally the school's problem, but the reality is, is we live in a rural area where this is a normal thing for the schools to help with this. I've asked the family place to get me some data on all the schools in the area that provide this service because it's a pretty normal thing to do. And they're working on getting me that. Also, there's many things I'm willing to do to help with this as well. Again, I'm not saying please solve this. I'm saying please help me solve this. Please be a partner with me because I know it's not just me that needs this. I think parents are at their breaking point. I know I am. And I'm just asking for some help. There are some things that I'm proposing. I'm happy to keep working with the family place. They said they'd be happy to come to one of our meetings and talk about the need for childcare services in our community and how the school could help with that. Like I said, the family place is willing to get me data on the area of schools that are doing this kind of service so that people can see that this is a normal thing that we do in Vermont as a service to working families. I'm willing to get a petition out there. So if you need to see that there's a need for this, I'm willing to work on that and do that through social media if that's what we need. I guess what I'm asking from the board is that I'd love to see a survey, go out to families and ask what their needs are. And again, I'm happy to help with that too. I'd love to see there be a committee, discuss this in more detail. And I'd love to, if we need to draw another community partners like the rec department, because I knew sometimes that's also a partner in this. So that's my quick and easy, but I have a lot more to say, but that's, I honestly wanted to have more ducks in a row. And honestly, I thought maybe the meeting was next Tuesday, but I guess the first Tuesday was the first day of the month. So therefore we're here here on the 15th. Anyway, that's my story. And I'd love to hear your thoughts on how maybe we can partner on this. All right, thanks, Karen. That is a good thing to bring up. And I wonder if we should add something to it for next meeting and official agenda item and give you guys a chance to think about what options we might have. So we could discuss next meeting. That's reasonable, Karen. Yeah, that's fine. And like I said, I can do some more work between now and then like I said, I'm happy to help. I'm happy to rally people. I'm happy to do whatever we need to do. I know I'm springing this on you guys. And that's fine. I just wanted to get the conversation going because I know how long this stuff takes to actually happen. And I felt like I just want to at least put it out there today. And yeah, if we can have more discussion, that would be great. But I think it's time. I think it's time that we really start thinking about how we can support working parents in this community. We live in a rural area. And the reality is we don't have a lot of resources in this area if you don't have family to help you. All right, Shannon. Thank you, Karen, for coming in and speaking to this issue. It is something that I think we've talked about in a round before and especially in relation to our preschool program and what services are necessary and would be beneficial to the community. And where do we fit in providing those services and how do we, I would say, I agree. It's really hard to use OnePlanet as a primary resource for childcare as a working parent when OnePlanet, it doesn't happen for half the summer, right? Like there's only six weeks or something that they do. So it may be something that we need to talk about. A task force with one board member and I know we did that for the preschool program. We've got a couple of task force going and they tend to be pretty helpful. And then they can put something together and bring us back. What are they, what's their recommendation? What's the budget look like, that kind of thing. And I also want to put out there, I'm an educator. So I feel like it's kind of a double whammy for me because we don't line up our vacation weeks. So I'll have a week off before you guys have a week off and then I don't have any days to take off to then watch my kids.  So it's kind of like, I have three personal days a year. I can't take a vacation when they take a vacation. I'm just trying to go to work. That's all I'm trying to do.  We follow the, and Jamie can correct me if I'm wrong here, but we follow the Randolph schedule, we have to. There's no way around it. I know we have teachers, we have families with kids in the district and their parents teach at Hartford and they never line up. And it's so frustrating. Interesting, because I work at Hartford. I've been there, this is my fifth year at Hartford and. So we do hear you. When I was there the first couple of years, the one vacation lined up. So it was almost like you guys lined up one with Randolph and one with Hartford because you use their tech center. Is that not a thing anymore? That's not the way it works. I'm unfortunately. So next year's calendar will line one up with Hartford because we lobbied Randolph and CVSU to get them to join us with the South. So there's two calendars, they're a Northern calendar and a Southern calendar and our three SUVs now will have one vacation with the North one with the South. So you will have one right up again next year. Well, that's good. I'll take at least one. That's better than nine. We heard that loud and clear. And so the three of us superintendents agreed that we would do one with the North. It really impacted us the most, although it did impact Randolph a little bit too, not to have it lined up with the South. So one now lines to the North, one lines to the South. February break will be aligned to the South. Okay. And again, Jamie, I appreciate that work you've done with me this year. I just feel like we need probably, you've got a lot on your plate and I just feel like we need to bring it even bigger and have- No, I appreciate it. A committee or a task force or just more people looking at it. I feel like I've been going at it alone and I just, I really am at a point where I think we need to just, yeah, do something else. Okay. Hi, so if I captured this correctly, one of the board members was suggesting to review options and data to have a larger discussion on this at the April board meeting. I need to be cognizant so that all parties are aware. I think that the April vacation is scheduled for April 17th. And so if Karen is asking for something for addressing the April break, I just got to call a flag on the play and say that's possibly not going to be addressed, but board members may be better versed to speak at this. We won't be prepared to address it for this year. I think we're looking at- No. I'm playing. I mean, that would be fabulous. I honestly don't have a plan for April, but I wasn't expecting that. Great. I just wanted to make sure we addressed, we were direct rather than kind of thinking differently. Great. One thought for April would be for, like the Sea Runners class, you have a different parent volunteer each week. And if something would be possible for that, like where we provide a school room, but then the parents provide the actual care and kind of rotate through so that they don't- That's why I think we got to talk about it. There's a lot of liability. Yeah. And so kind of figured. Yeah. I think we got to dig into this more. I think those are great solutions. I just think we should vent them out. Sure. Okay. Well, we'll officially talk about it next school meeting and then hopefully come up with something for future vacation. Thank you. I appreciate it. Is there any other public comment at the time? Before we leave public comment, I'd like to just recognize Emily Bean, who's here at the table with us. I don't know that we've got to introduce you all yet, but Emily is a senior vice president of the senior class and serving as a student rep tonight, right? Yep. So thanks for coming out, Emily. It's always exciting when we have students here at the table, even though our meetings aren't always super exciting. I appreciate your willingness to help us out there. Thanks, Emily. Yeah, we're gonna see the annual reviewer. It's particularly exciting. Okay, there's no more public comment. We move on to board comments. Does any of the board members have anything we want to share at this time? I do. So, Andrew actually already knows this, but we will be moving back to South Royalton this summer, back to my family's sort of multi-generational farmhouse. So right now I'm serving as a Bethel board member. I'm hoping that since the move, we are in the midst of moving things now, but I think technically, we probably won't change our address till June, but I'm hoping that we can make it work with the open board seats that I wouldn't have to step off the board and leave the board short with all those committee assignments and things. But for right now that is, we are definitely moving, selling our house in Bethel. So when we get to the discussion of filling board, vacancies, that's going to be a little complication in the mix. All right, yeah. Why don't we talk about that once we get there? But congratulations, Ben. Thanks. Let me move on. We're glad you're staying in the district, yeah, for sure. Yes, and I had actually reached out to Andrew earlier today and we're arranging for Cooper to stay on the campus where he's comfortable. So it's very exciting to be able to have a little bit of freedom to move around in the two towns. Yeah. Except for this piece, this is the one thing where my mom's like, this is going to be a mess with the board though. What will you do? All right, celebration of learning, a fifth grade school treat project. I think I'll just start off by saying that Mrs. Forrest's class came up with this wonderful project and she's going to outline it. It's been a recording from her class. Unfortunately, the whole class really wanted to be here to present and then Mrs. Forrest's daughter ended up being in the spelling bee this afternoon so she couldn't make it to the board meeting. So instead they recorded a celebration of learning for you. So I'll let her do all the honors. I think we'll present it for all of us. And the presentation is really good. Never seen it again. Hi, I'm Rebecca Forrest. I'm the fifth grade teacher here at Bethel Elementary School. Right before Christmas break, my fifth graders wanted to do a community project to give something back to our school community. And we came up with three options. One was flower boxes in the front of the school. Another one was working on signage around the trails of our town and a third was creating a chicken coop and egg selling business. They voted for a chicken coop and egg selling business. And here is a result of research that they've done so far. Hi, I'm Zoe Livingston. And I am Kensley Townsend-Barkham. The benefits of chickens for kids. According to the National Farmers School Network, my children have the opportunity to care for animals. There is an increase in school engagement and positive attitudes about school and learning. It provides children with opportunities for social and emotional growth, improves life skills, self-esteem and sense of self, social skills and behavior. There's a greater opportunity for necessary experiential and hands-on learning. It supports school readiness in young children. It encourages low income students and students of color to engage in food and environmental issues in their communities. The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development published a report that stated animals in the classroom have a positive impact and they can be motivating and engaging for children. They can help students to calmly sort through an argument or conflict. They help students focus on tough assignments and even make it easier for children to make friends with classmates and connect to teachers in the community. According to the NIDO, an early childhood organization, the research cited that animal interaction can actually improve children's social interaction, reduce stress and anxiety and increase motivation and learning. The benefits for chickens and kids and all people in the school. Chickens will be a good idea to have. Chickens will be loved by kids. We can learn about chickens and what they eat and drink. We will take care of the chickens all year long. My name is Naomi Kinsley and I'm Emily Poland. And we researched how to care for chickens. This year's fifth grade will make a book about the chickens and how to care for them. In the first weeks of school, the fifth graders will be trained in Coupe and Chicken Care. They will help train the other grades in school so that there will be a troll rotation for all grades. For about three years, Ms. Tracy, Ms. Swars will be taking care of them when there's no school. The book will educate kids so when they reach fifth grade, they can care for the chickens. We know it's a lot of work, but in the end, we all have cute, fun, loving chickens for our school. I'm Carly Townsend. And I'm Payton Lloyd. And we researched five types of chickens and these chickens have good layers, can handle a cold and kind of a purple. These chickens are... The light says six, the Rhode Island red, bird rock, white duncle, and the white crusted black polish. I'm Josie Noel and we researched the needs of a chicken. Chickens eat about one fourth of a pound of feed each day. Chickens drink over one pint of water per day, bedding. We will change it about every two weeks. Oh, maybe a chick needs it to be about 70 to 75 degrees. I'm Sayo Matt. And I'm Jocelyn Guerra. And we are talking about safety, safety of the chickens and safety of the children. Safety of the chickens. Secure windows and doors so predators can't get in. We will also have an automatic door so those predators don't get in. We will also teach students how to hold chickens safely and responsibly. Safety of children. We will have hand sanitizer available to use at all times. Just remember to use hand sanitizer after holding the chickens because hand sanitizer is bad for the chickens' health. We will have good coop boots to walk around the coop in. We will have nice chickens and we will have the students trained to hold the chickens safely and carefully so both the student and the chicken does not get hurt. My name is Asha White. And I'm Haley Griggs. And we are talking about the cost of everything. Coupe, Santa Fe. We need a coop large enough for students to enter. We need strong weather-type coop so no weather gets in. Central version, like the foundation. So the coop lasts a long time. It is off the ground. Utilities, 6,300. But chickens stop laying in the winter because of like, we will fit the chickens and thinking it is some water. Chickens need fresh drinking water to help control their body temperature. This will help in winter. We will also wash this. We will also need to wash the eggs. Fencing, we need fencing because it provides protection for chickens. It is also an outdoor classroom, AKA a moving space for the chickens and so it gets any protection from the weather. Chickens, the chickens cost $250. This first you will have pellets, chicks and eggs. Feed, the feed costs $1,600. This covers three years of feed. Equipment, the equipment we need is shovels, waterers, feeders, we're about those brooms and other such things. Our class raised $364 in a spelling bee fundraiser. We're using this money towards the project. A dream of a better tomorrow where chickens can cross the road without being questioned about their motives. Quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson. This concludes our short presentation. Thank you very much for watching. Have a good night. That was really fun. So that's our first celebration of learning and we're super excited to have fun loving chickens ahead in our future. Yes, the chickens will all be nice. I love it. These, you know, so I met with the class and I pushed back on their budget a little bit just so the board knows. But we also did apply for some grant funding to support this project. I also think one of my other concerns was just the management outside of school hours around the chickens. I've got some commitment from staff around that. I also, you know, I've started conversations with Owen around, if we have some chickens, how can we look to emphasize that as part of the community schools grant and get some community partners and some of the teachers are community partners. But I think there's some opportunity there too with that grant. So we are looking to move forward with some chickens. And the idea would be that the chicken coop would also serve as an outdoor classroom. And so I think there's some real good opportunity there as well. So do know that there's momentum to move forward to have some chickens come on campus. I can't wait to use this as a recruitment tool. I was just gonna say we- On campus, like come learn about our chickens. Did you say when we had nice cows on campus we did everything we could to get them off? Yes. Well, that was adorable on Facebook as well. Totally different reason. Peggy, that must have been before you and I were involved.  No, it's just this winter when we came back from Christmas break. There were cows on the playground, two of them, when we came back. Oh, right, right, right. We were, that's right. We were over in Bethel, yeah. That sounds like how much I'm on Facebook. That's you meaning, yeah. We were saying only in Vermont. Like I think that story got shared everywhere. Thank you, Andra and Mrs. Coors and everybody, the whole fifth grade class, that was fun. Well, moving out of there are reports from the board. Jamie. So you have my report in hand. We do have a full board meeting tomorrow night just to remind folks. And I hope you can attend. I'm still worried a little bit about a quorum. Some of our regular attendees have mentioned that they may not be able to attend. The other thing I'll add is that I'm hoping to get our board development series back up and running either at the end of this month or at the latest in April. The new VSBA trainer just came on board. Actually, they might come on board in two days, the 16th, I think. So he's from Texas and he's joining the VSBA, but we will finish up our training series. And it may be March, April, May, or it may be April, May, June. The other thing is that there will be some further COVID guidance coming out as the Department of Health changed some guidance earlier this week around quarantining requirements and testing and things of that nature. So I'll get a letter out, clarifying some of that tomorrow and that with SU nurses today. And then I'll take any questions folks may have. Those of you who were not in attendance, it was a heartbreaking basketball state championship on Sunday, just a shout out to both our teams and their coaches. It was really great to have both Farsi teams at the very auditorium. And then also, I'm sure the principals mentioned this. Mom and me is happening this weekend as well, which I'm looking forward to. And then finally, I just want you to know that I do meet with Jeff Thomas already weekly and we've started some transition planning. Owen and I met with him today. I know Andrea, you're meeting with him later this week. And I believe, and we see mentioned that, I think it's you, when I see my Honda. And then, and we will start meeting with him on a regular basis too. And we've got some transition documents that Honda had from her previous SUs that I think will help with some of the transition work to make certain no pieces are dropped. So I'll take any questions folks have. Have anything for Jamie? All right, we'll move on to the principals. Thank you, Jamie. I would just highlight really quickly. I'm sure you've already checked out our report that we are working on training up with some Dr. Ross Green's work, collaborative problem solving. That's a big highlight for us. And we're working on doing a bunch of surveying right now. So surveys either have gone out or we'll be going out climate surveys to families. So really important, we're gonna take that data and some other surveys with yours. Just to look at how we're doing, how we can do better going forward. I'm also looking ahead to summer training. Does anybody have any questions for the principals? I'd add what Jamie stole most of my updates from the one we wrote this, but it's also worth noting that the Twin State Bowling Invitational for individual bowlers was this past Saturday and a White River Valley High School female bowler is the top bowler in the Twin State region. Hannah Bryan, she came in 17th overall in the Twin State region. So there were 16 males who scored better than she did, but she was the top female bowler. That's great. Andra, can I ask a quick question about the, it looked like the survey that came out was something that was done that we didn't build. It was built by someone else like PBIS or... Yeah, and I think it's a hard survey because it's during COVID times, but we've been giving the same survey. And so, yeah, it's trying to help us... Can I? And that was meant just for elementary families? No, the same survey is going on. It said elementary at the top. The one that you got so far as elementary, I'm not certain the middle and high school have come out yet, but there should be middle and high school coming out because we want them to look at the different program areas and see how it feels different. So here's what I'll say about it though. Because they were released at different times, and what the first survey question is, which grades do you have a child in? And I put in third and eighth, and then I'm like, well, wait a minute, am I doing this survey based on an overall feeling about both? Or I think that maybe next year, or with the surveys that are about to come out, there needs to be more guidance on, please think about your child who is just in these grades. Because I had no idea. I mean, I would kind of answer the questions with a little bit of both because I had just included my eighth grader in it. That's good feedback, thank you. Yeah. Yeah, you're supposed to put in, I think it's got almost up to 12th grade, you can report. And I think we're super unique because I don't think a lot of schools are built like us. So we could probably definitely do that better. I appreciate the feedback. I just worry about our guidance. We're also looking at whether or not that's the best climate survey to use and just know that Onda is piloting a couple others in other districts, and then we'll compare notes to see, do we need to tweak it? Is it giving us the information we actually want? All right, anything else for the principals? Tara.  Perfect timing. So you all have my report. I outlined the due dates that we have currently in the business office for both financials and school food authority. One thing I wanted to just point out, I did receive a memo today. I have not read it in all detail, but it looks like free and reduced will not be, or not free and reduced on universal free meals will not be extended for the summer nor next school year, but more information to come on that. And then if there's any questions, I'll be happy to answer them. That's all I have tonight. Well, just to clarify, it won't be extended by the USDA. There's momentum in the house for the, for Vermont to actually provide that. And we're following that closely and they would use part of that Ed Fund surplus to pay for it to initially get off the ground. The estimates are that it could be about 40 million a year annually. So that's something we're monitoring closely. It's about four cents on the tax rate across the state. So just, I was gonna mention that tomorrow night two to the full SU board. That is Bill in the local Vermont legislature that I have been told has a great deal of momentum. Thanks, Tara. WRDSU negotiations. I'm not entirely sure what all I can say here, Jamie. I think we can just say what happened last night. I think we should talk about an executive session. Okay, yeah. So let's plan an executive session as like item 16. Yeah, we've got two executive, we'll have to add an additional one. Yeah. Thanks. Okay. Only because it's not that we want to hide anything but what happened last night happened in executive session. So I want to make sure we're not breaking any rules. Okay, well, we're on to the discussion for how to fill the board member vacancies. I think the goal is to advertise them and then we'll hopefully find somebody in a point next month. So with Shannon moving, does it make sense to have her resign and we can appoint her, the Royalton one and then- Yeah, let me just check with legal, Shannon. I'll email you. I just want to check it with legal. We mean, it sounds like you know you're moving in June. So let me just figure out how to best navigate that. Hope you're muted. That being said, we're moving to my family's place. So we're kind of living in between the two at this point. So I could argue it either way, like it doesn't matter when we- You know, I'll just walk this in and we'll go through with Dina. Thank you, I'd like to stay. You know, I think we can figure that out. But yeah, they will get posted and what we'll do is we'll look to, we'll get it out on our Facebook pages too. We'll put it in the papers. But then if anyone has front porch forum, I'm happy to have Kate McClain send you what we put on Facebook to also push out to front porch forum. I think that might hit some folks who might be interested who wouldn't look at Facebook. Okay. Is Beth will have an active front porch forum too? Rodney or Shannon? I'm not active on front porch forum but I can probably become active and post it there. Oh, thanks, Andrew. Oh, Andrew says she can. Correct. So Jamie, please just let me know what I need to do. Yep. All right. So the VSBA code of ethics. Everybody see that in their pocket? I'm pretty sure we adopted this last year as well. You did, yeah. So they're really comfortable with adopting this again this year, having a discussion about it. I think we just all sign it individually, right? Yeah, I usually have the board take action though just to adopt it so we have it in the notes. Would anybody like to make a motion to adopt the VSBA code of ethics? I would move that we adopt the VSBA code of ethics. I'll second it. All in favor, say hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. We're adopting the code of ethics in a second. You might have got another board number there. Yeah, really. I know I love it when the cows vote. Great. Okay. Then we're on to new hires and resignations. We have one retirement, Angela? Retirement or? Yeah, Heather Belanger has let us know that she won't be coming back. I know that she really wanted to and she's been battling cancer and she was just in remission and came back and joined us and Roylton has been helping out Niko really enjoying it, but I think she feels like this is the time for her to put in her resignation. So she will be missed. She's worked in Buffalo for many, many years. May do some substituting though, I think for us, possibly still. Right, Andrew? I absolutely twisted her arm and made her say yes to that. She's gonna be greatly missed. Do we have any public comments? At this time? Emily, usually we let students have a chance if there's anything you wanna share about things going on in school, but you wanna be on the spot either, so. Yeah, I don't think there's anything. We appreciate your presence. Thank you. Push for civics, proficiency. Okay, well, then we'll move to executive session. First, for the contracts, who would we bring into this one? The principals can stay and Tara for this one. It shouldn't take long, so. Okay, can I have a motion to enter executive session? So I would motion that we enter executive session with the superintendent, the principals, and Tara, please. Don't we have to take it for discussion of contracts? Beautiful. I'll second it. Andrew, you guys are on mute. So we're returning to public session at 7-0-6. And I would move that we approve the DeWolf Engineering Associates to complete the White River Valley High School stormwater permitting project. Yes. Second, Peggy? I said I'd second. Yep. Okay. Any discussion? All in favor, say aye. Aye. Approved. I'd entertain a motion to, or for the negotiations. Perm labor relations. Yep. Oh, he needs me, I think, with Shannon. I think everyone else can go. Have a good night. Good night, everyone. Thank you. I'd entertain a motion to enter executive session. Is this for negotiations or for? Negotiations. I'm wondering Rodney, given your conflicts. I'm just curious. Actually, I can listen to it. I just can't voice my opinion on it. That's the way it actually reads in the ethics book to it or whatever. But actually, I just won't go to it. We lose our quarrel. Okay, so I just can't comment on it or vote on it. Okay. I don't think that this is gonna be a voting issue, so. Right. So. I would somebody like to make a motion to enter executive session? I would make a motion that we enter executive session with Jamie to discuss contract negotiations at 7.08. I will second that. I'd like to bring me back to the main room. So once the timer's out, then it brings me back. All right. We're recording again. I would move to come out of executive session at 7.15 with no action taken. I guess you moved it all second. Okay. I don't think we have any other. Next meeting date is Tuesday, April 19th at 6 at the Bethel campus. I'll entertain a motion to adjourn. I will be in South Carolina for that meeting, but I actually just texted my parents who we're going with. And I'm like, Tuesday night, there are just not enough of us. I'm gonna have to like bring my laptop set. Yeah, we'll soon meet up for you. Yeah, so you're pretty sure you'll be able to join them? Yes. Yeah. Yeah, we will be there all week. So we'll be arriving in there Sunday and we'll be fine. I have the ocean in the background and not just like a background background of the ocean. It might be. Yep. I thought that if this was a seven o'clock meeting I would now be fashionably late. Is that a hired hand you got, Peggy? Yes, yeah. I have jobs I have to do. He has his jobs that neither the twain shall meet. But we like it when the cows votes. Yes, yes. Let you see the cows. Good night, everyone. Good night. All right, there we go. Bye. Next second.


What's going on guys? Today I am back with another Destiny 2 video and today I want to show you guys why in my opinion is the fastest way to farm exotics as a fire team. But before we get into that guys do you want to win some juicy loot? If so I have exclusive emblem calls, I've got exclusive sparrow calls, I've got gift cards, I've got much more. To win some simply drop a like on the video and leave a comment down below. Okay so I'm guessing we are all aware by now of the public event exploit you can do as a solo player. Basically if you complete a public event normal or heroic in a really fast time you can basically load back into the same area and you will then spawn into a different server and at about a 70% chance that public event will still be running meaning you can grind the aid gain. I've done this up to four times on a certain planet which I'll showcase to you guys in this video. But the main point of this video is we are found a way where you can do this in a fire team so you don't have to run your solo and doing this and farming public events in a fire team as we all know is miles miles faster than doing it solo. Now you can basically do this public event exploit within any planet and any public event. But the fastest ones to do this are many people believe are untitled within the rig area. You've got the witch's ritual event and you've also got the spider tank event. If you're in a fire team you can do these within that a minute easily. But in my opinion still the fastest place to do this is unnesses and within the artefacts edge area. The public event that spawns here is called the kabar excavation and to trigger this public event as a heroic you simply at 40% of the public event have to take out a ship called the fresher which patrols the area. If you're in a fire team you can literally do this in seconds. Once you've done this a yellow barred boss will spawn in called the excavation valus. You can take him out in a matter of 20 seconds easily. You simply then pick up your heroic loot which as we all know heroic public event chests love to drop them in zotics. Now if you were doing this solo what you do here is simply load back into the same area you're at which here would be artefacts edge. In doing so you would load into a new server with having a good chance that this public event is still running. Now this is how you do it in a fire team. Now the two other members of your fire team not the leader need to fast travel to another area on the same planet so if we're unnesses and we're using the artefacts edge area the two other players in your fire team would either fast travel to the chamber of sky within the exodus black or the watchers grave.  In doing this he will load into a new server. When he loads in and sees the public event is still running he simply just gives the call out to his fire team to rejoin him basically fast traveling back to the artefacts edge area. Now we've actually in a fire team I've done this four times in a row almost five times and we were only doing it for about 15-20 minutes. So it is by an absolute mile the quickest way to farm exotics within the entire game.  Now if you think you have a better place to do this you have a better public event which you think you can do faster you can use this exploit there there's nothing stopping you. The point of this video is not the actual public event I am using the point of the video is showing you how you can do this within a fire team. So simply when you're in a fire team once you've completed the heroic public event and you've collected that loot the two of the members of the fire team not the fire team leader into fast travel to another place on the same planet while the fire team leader simply loads back in to the same place the public event is at. In doing so he was born into a new server see the public event is still running gives a call out to other two fire team members to load back in on him within that same area they did the first public event in doing this you will have a full fire team grinding public events all day every day and you can basically fly from one planet to the other and grind public events for days doing this it's definitely by an absolute mile the fastest way to grind exotics in the game beats doing this solo by an absolute mile and on that note guys I am out I hope this video helped you out if it did leave a like really helps me out now I'm gonna leave you guys with one question who wants to walk with DPJ subscribe if you do


What's going on y'all? I was watching an interview the other day and they were discussing patching my home You know the quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs.  I would take offense to that my children if they came from a mixed parentage and they only identified as Black that would be an extreme disrespect to me and to their mother But what do you think about that? Do you think that people who identify with one ethnicity? Although they came from two ethnic groups should be only identifying as one Let me know what you think about that in the comments below. Maybe it's just me and I'm trying to see some


How tough is it to put forth this type of offensive effort and come out on the losing end? Yeah, I thought we swung it good. But they swung it better. This is a five game losing streak, longest of the season. How would you just assess where this team is at right now? I mean, we're definitely going through it right now. You know, frustrated with how we've played. But I still feel really good about our team and how we've done this year as a whole. What do you feel like needs to turn around specifically or is it a number of things? What's anything in particular, you know, just like when we get a good pitching game, we don't hit it and vice versa. And we're just kind of in one of those, you know, last five games we've been kind of grinding like that.


Now I'm gonna show you how to freshen up a plush. All right, Bolo Buddies. I am gonna give credit to Donatella Bottolino for this trick. Check her out on YouTube. She is also Donatella over on what not, and she does sell plush on what not, but she sells everything on what not. So one thing that a lot of times when you get plush, it is really matted, or just looks like, you know, this. It looks like this. So she said to get a dog brush, and I think she uses a bigger one, but I got this in, I think at the Goodwill Benz. And I've used it on a couple stuffed animals. That's stuffed animal hair.    So look, he's all fuzzy again. Is that incredible? So then you just wanna kinda go over all the areas. I mean, you have to decide, is this worth your time? How much is this stuffed animal worth? But yeah, look how good this looks. And it's so quick. And then you can do its hair. And if you get it all fuzzed out, he's all ready for his photo. Had a plastic bag fall in my head. So yeah, this is a great, great reseller tip that I never, ever would have thought of. So thank you to Donatella for teaching us these great little skills for Plush because before she did YouTube, and whatnot, she sold on eBay. And one of the main things she sold was Plush. And she was like a firm believer in getting that fur looking all good. So I'm gonna get him all brushed out and then I'm gonna come back and show you what he looks like unless you guys just wanna sit here and watch me.  Whoa, check him out. I mean, it's not that hard. Does it take a minute? Sure, it takes a minute. And I'm kind of at a weird angle because I'm recording. So you can go up and down, but it just gets all that matted together plush and makes it nice and fluffy again. So this is a K&M International from 1999. So it is a vintage plush. So, you know, that's kind of to be expected. So I haven't decided if I'm gonna put this on eBay or if I'm gonna put this in my what not store. So you can check both of those. If you guys are not on what not yet, you can use my link down below and get $15 to shop and just buy something. It's a referral link and it's free money and what not is so fun. So definitely check it out. We're getting close here. It does take some time. Oh, I missed an arm. I missed an arm. Here, look, this arm. So let's look at the two arms beside each other. Look how much better that looks. You got ratty arm, ratty, fluffy. It's so awesome and it's so easy and it works so good.  So you can also lay it down. That might be easier than holding it. I was just holding it to try to show you guys but this is actually a little bit quicker.  All right, so let's sit him here like this. I wish I would have taken a picture of before and after. He's so cute and he's got the little hook and loop on his hands and his feet. So you can wrap him right around your neck. Isn't he adorable? Oh my gosh, he's so cute. Oh my goodness, he looks so cute. Isn't he adorable?  And he's hanging on to me. He's hanging on. And then his feet Velcro or hook and loop. If you're on eBay, do not use the word Velcro. You use the word hook and loop. You will get a policy violation, a bureau copyright. I don't know if it's not a copyright. What's it called? Trademark, is that what it is? But you cannot use the word Velcro because this is not Velcro brand, this toy. So Velcro is a brand. But anyway, look how good this monkey turned out. Tell me if you knew about this tip and are you going to implement it in your reselling business? Oh my goodness, so cute. Look at him. And again, he's either gonna be in my eBay store or on my what not. I haven't quite decided where I'm gonna put him yet, but he is adorable. I'm thinking I might put him over in my what not, buy it now for a really good deal for you guys. So that's what I'm gonna do. I have officially decided this guy is going to what not. I'm gonna list him over in my buy it now section for five dollars.   If you wait until I'm live doing a live show, you will get discounted shipping if you purchase anything from my buy it now during a live show. So that's something to consider also, you could wait, but he may be gone. And maybe you won't, who knows? Maybe you guys won't love him as much as I do. But I think he is a cutie pie. All right, you guys. Definitely if you're thinking about selling on what not, get on that calendar ASAP. And I will see you guys soon. Thanks so much for being here. And thanks for watching.


I am grateful that Jesus Christ in 1999, he knew my address, 179 building in the neighborhood and Jesus came and knocked on my door and he said, you open the door, John, I will sit down with you, a demonic, debaulical person that didn't care nothing about nobody but to kill, steal and destroy. The church is weak, the church had no power. You can't hang out and try to battle me in the spirit realm and in the demonic I don't understand how churches today don't teach spiritual warfare. When I went to demon church, the first thing the teacher is demonic spiritual warfare.


Dear colleagues, I'm sorry that I can't be with you in person today, but I'm delighted to have an opportunity to add my voice to yours in support of M Health and the Be Healthy Be Mobile initiative. At Public Health England, we think mobile and digital health could transform the field of public health, and we want to play our part in promoting it so it can deliver its full potential. In fact, it's already happening. For example, we've got evidence that SMS texts are an effective way to help people quit smoking. We've also got evidence that sending SMS reminders for screening appointments can help increase attendance. Now, I've used these two examples because they're a reflection of two fundamental ways in which mobile is revolutionizing public health. First, because of how mobile can empower us to lead healthier lifestyles in ways we've never had before, and this isn't just hype. There's been an explosion in mobile health apps, 97,000 across app stores worldwide. The second aspect of this revolution is how mobile health can support health systems. It will do this by making it easier for healthcare professionals to deliver services and treatments in ways that are effective, low-cost and convenient for the patient. And mobile health could allow us to scale up and sustain prevention efforts across entire countries. Now, at Public Health England, we're absolutely committed to grasping the digital opportunity and pushing ourselves to see how much further we can go with it. Now, we'll get further and we'll get faster if we learn together. So I'm excited that the Be Healthy and Be Mobile initiative has managed to bring together so many key partners. We are really proud to be a part of this collaboration. Thank you.


If you are running a three-on-three basketball league, one of your biggest expenses is going to be your facility fees. So you might be asking yourself, how much should I budget? How much should I spend on facility fees each month to run my three-on-three basketball league? And I wanna get into that question today and have you actually think about it in a little bit different direction. I'm gonna give you a tool to help you with this. So I'm gonna flip my screen around. We're gonna look at a couple of examples of leagues that we've run and how the facility fees play into all that. And then I'm gonna get you some good stuff afterwards so you can play around with this. So let's flip the screen. First of all, I wanna just look at one of our facility invoices. This is a facility we use for two different leagues in the year, one in June and then one in August, September. So here you can see the four dates of our league. And this was in 2023. So we just ran this this past June and you can see our rate for our facility is $150 an hour. This facility, it's an amazing facility. We actually have six full courts that we're paying $150 an hour for. So they charge us $25 for a full court, which means we have 12 baskets and each basket's gonna cost us $12.5. And that's an important number that we're gonna use here in just a second. So we have these four dates. We're paying $150 an hour. Our league's gonna be four and a half hours. Our total facility fees were $2,700 for this league, this past June. All right, now this is a great facility. It has, like I said, 12 half court baskets. It has a nice space for spectators. We've got tables in the foyer area. We have a nice music system so we can play music during our games all of the courts have plenty of space and they all have the right lines, out of bounds lines, free throw lines, et cetera. So this is a wonderful space that we get to use. This is what our schedule looked like on one of these dates. So you can see we had 12 courts or 12 baskets. You can see which teams are playing on each court. When you do your scheduling you're gonna help your facility costs if you leave your blank spaces at the beginning or the end so the refs don't have to come and then have a break or whatever. You just have them work straight through and then they can leave early if they're over here on this court. The reason we have court one and two open here for the first few rounds is because we are running a K through three clinic on those courts. So that's why we didn't have three on three games but that's what our schedules look like. Let's take a look at a tool that I'm gonna give you access to. This is an estimated profit calculator. And if you use this tool you're gonna be able to play around with some variables that will help you figure out your expenses and your total profit or estimated profit based on things like your facility fee. So in this example how much does your facility cost per half court per hour? So remember we were paying 25 bucks an hour for a court that means 12.50 for a basket. We had 12 baskets in this situation. The hourly rate that we paid our staff and I put $28. We have beginning like high school refs where we're gonna pay them currently in 2023. We're paying them about $20 an hour and our certified staff might be making as much as $30 an hour. So we try to balance it with some new staff and experienced staff. This number is gonna change obviously depending on where you live in some places things are more expensive in some places things are cheaper but you're gonna just have to be the expert in your community and then you're gonna use the relative cost of what things cost in your community to kind of play with this. We get a pretty good t-shirt price because of the number of shirts we get. You maybe won't be able to get t-shirts for $6 but in our situation that's about what we're paying. For a four week league in 2023 we're charging $255 a team. That's for early bird. If they sign up after early bird which a big percentage of teams will do we charge another $15. So many of our teams were paying $270 and I put 118 teams here for how many teams we want. If we pop over to our 2023 Maple Grove three on three basketball league you can see we had 118 teams in this league. All right and the interesting thing is a year ago in 2022 this exact same league had 102 teams. So we are just seeing tremendous growth in all of our leagues. This represents a 17% growth from 2022 to 2023 in this one league. All right let's go back to our calculator. Okay so that's where I got the 118 teams. So when you plug in all these variables this calculator is going to figure out how much money you're spending, how much court time are you gonna need with this many teams if you have this many baskets and if you're paying this many staff members to work it's also factoring in that you're gonna have a site director there as well too. So it does some fancy math for you. And if this is a four week league you're gonna see we're gonna bring in $30,000. All of our expenses including our facility and staffing and shirts is 12,000 and our profit for this league was a little over 17,000. Roughly it might have been a little bit more because we actually have an upgrade opportunity on getting dry fits where they pay a little bit more and also remember you have quite a few teams that are gonna pay that extra signing up after early bird fee but this is a pretty good estimate that we made over $17,000 on this four week league. All right so and if we wanna just kind of see we didn't change any of these variables from last year so last year what did I say we had 101 teams okay so then we made 15,000 last year so we saw a 17% increase in profit just because we grew the number of teams. Now you might be saying well Christie we can't get a facility for 25 bucks an hour on our for a court here where I live and I know I realize that in some places things are more expensive so all you need to do is let's just say you're paying $50 an hour that means you're paying $25 an hour for a half court let's just say all the rest of your variables are the same okay so now instead of oh wait let's change this to the 118 that we have instead of the $17,500 you're making $15,000 so you're losing $2,500 about with that double the cost on your facility so if that number is fine for you then that facility price is reasonable and I think you should pay that if this is the kind of profit you're gonna see but if this number, this bottom line isn't what you need it to be then you're gonna go in and you can adjust your how much you're charging per team and here again you need to be your community expert on how much things cost so if you do the math if you charge a team $255 and the teams either usually have four or five kids on it and they're coming for an hour each week to play basketball games figure out what each family's paying per hour I think this math is gonna show you that a family's paying $15 a week for their kid to come and play an hour of basketball well let's take a look at what parents are willing to pay for camps so here is the Timberwolves and Lynx basketball camps for this summer so if you look at this 2023 camp they're running at four days for six hours and if you figure out how much they're paying per hour for their kids to be at this camp you're gonna see that they're paying just over 13 between 13 and $14 an hour to put their kid in a camp so if they're paying $14 or $15 an hour to be in a three on three league we're right on target with our pricing here so you can kinda just play with these variables now this facility that we're using this Maple Grove facility we run a second league each August, September and this is our 2023 Osio Maple Grove League this registration's still open so we've passed Early Bird the final registration ends in six days so we still have like a little bit less than a week this league in the past has been our biggest league we've ever run where we had 181 teams at this league so we could go back to our profit calculator same facility we're paying $12.50 for a half court per hour we have 12 baskets all these numbers stay the same we are charging it's a five week league so we're charging a little bit more and the year of our biggest league we had 181 teams so let's just see it's not a four week league we gotta scroll down to the five week league that league estimated profit was over $26,000 again if those numbers this bottom line isn't working for you then you're just gonna have to go in and try some different things here until you're seeing the number that makes sense for you to run a league now keep in mind my estimated profit calculator is only including the expenses listed paying your staff, paying your facility paying your t-shirts those are the big expenses you might have some other expenses for your league like having your website or an email service or your online registration fees things for running your business are also going to play in here but at least you can get a general idea of the amount of profit and when you're seeing these facility costs some people get really frightened by them but if you use this tool you can see how it makes sense okay so I hope that demo was useful for you and you saw how the estimated profit calculator tool can help you determine what you might charge for your three on three basketball league registration fees so that it makes sense with the expenses that you anticipate having with your league if you enjoyed this video and you would like to learn a little bit more from me about what we're doing with our business Midwest three on three we run over 35 three on three basketball leagues every year we've been doing this since 1997 we have over 14,000 players playing in our leagues and like I was showing you we are seeing crazy unprecedented growth right now with more and more teams signing up for our leagues as people are learning how much they love to play three on three so if you want to learn more about our proven system and you would like to follow a step by step process to get three on three basketball leagues up and running and profitable in your community please enroll in one of my free trainings there's a link below and I would love to work with you and support you and help you get on this journey of running three on three basketball leagues see you soon


I do not think I did thermodynamic consistency I mentioned it reverse osmosis and then boiling point elevation and freezing point depression okay we will discuss thermodynamic consistency first the idea is the following if you look at the Gibbs-Duhem equation looking at I will write the expression T of G excess by RT suppose I have to write this in capital letters G of G by G excess I mean ? G- ? G ideal mixing similar students have come if you are looking at vapor liquid equilibrium let us say in particular you are looking at a binary system the number of degrees of freedom is simply 2-2-2 2 phases so I can write this as D of G excess by RT first of all is equal to – H excess by RT squared dt plus P excess by RT dipping plus ? excess by RT is exactly log ? 1 Tx1-log ? 2 Tx2 remember this ? excess by RT ? – ? ideal this is simply log ? I and if I divide by the total number of moles dividing it for a closed system if I divide by the total number of moles and I simply get log ? 1 Dx1-log ? 2 Tx2 no plus sorry no minus here this is plus since there are 2 degrees of freedom there are either you can consider isothermal VLE in which case this term is 0 or this is 0 for isobaric in any case you get D of G excess by RT by Dx1 is equal to log ? 1 by ? 2 log ? 1-log ? 1 ? 2 Dx1 Dx2 is – Dx1 plus ? Tx1 I am sorry just ? where ? is either ? is H excess by RT squared – H excess by RT squared dt by Dx1 or it is V excess by RT Dp by Dx1 2 degrees of freedom so the degrees of freedom that I use either I do isothermal VLE in which case temperature is constant the other variable is X1 so if I treat T and X1 as variables in a 2 in a system with 2 degrees of freedom DG excess by DX1 will be this plus ? where ? is simply V excess by RT Dp DX1 see sometimes written as ? T this is usually written as ? P and this is ? T this means that constant temperature ? is V excess by RT DP by DX1 now if you integrate this over X1 the left hand side is simply DG excess by RT from X1 equal to 0 to 1 so you will simply get G excess by RT sorry from X1 equal to 0 to X1 equal to 1 this is equal to integral 0 to 1 log of ? 1 by ? 2 DX1 this left hand side is clearly 0 left hand side is simply G excess at X1 equal to 0 and X1 equal to 1 so it is clearly equal to 0 so you get the inclusion that log ? 1 by ? 2 DX1 integral 0 to 1 should be equal to ? – S so – 0 to 1 ? DX1 now this term is approximately 0 experimentally H excess by RT squared is very small and so is V excess by RT both these terms are usually small so you get the integral of this over DT DX1 to DX1 so because these that is why the symbol ? was used because this is approximately 0 this is a test of consistency if you have data experimental data on ? 1 for example you can calculate ? 1 from experimental measurements on pressure composition of the gas phase and compression of the liquid phase so this comes from experimental data if you have experimental data on ? 1 ? 2 you can plot log ? 1 by ? 2 versus X1 the area under the curve should be approximately 0 actually if you actually do the plotting you get log ? 1 by ? 2 versus X1 if you go to X1 going to 0 ? 2 is 1 you get log ? 1 infinity that will be the limit here so let us say log ? 1 infinity somewhere here and log ? 2 infinity here so you will get a curve like this this area there is a positive area and a negative area this area we will denote this area by P this area by N to indicate positive and negative areas so the experimental the integral test for thermodynamic consistency as I told you earlier people used to use the experimental data to verify the Gibbs Duhem equation now the Gibbs Duhem equation is so well established that the test for consistency of the data have you measured the data correctly you measure Y1 X1 etc if you have errors in the measurement then it would not satisfy the integral test the integral test says if P is the positive area and N is the negative area P P plus N divided by P plus N is algebraic quantity that is a negative area this is the positive area is less than a prescribed amount say 1% depending on the if then data is said to be consistent said to satisfy the integral test this test is called the integral test of consistency because you are taking an integral over the entire composition the original differential test is simply this of course this is almost never satisfied by the data simply because it is too hard to apply this is your Gibbs Duhem equation if you can verify at every point that this sum is 0 that is called the differential test usually differential test is satisfied to plus or minus 20% because your you have to plot log gamma and take the slope with respect to X1 these slopes are very difficult the scatter in the points will be so much very difficult for you to get an accurate slope so this differential test is to van is due to vanness in somebody but this is normally not used for want of accuracy for calculating slopes this possible there are instances of data there is a journal called journal of chemical engineering data this has a large number of data it will be it is exceptional cases where the differential test will be applied but the integral test is almost always applied this goes on the name of thermodynamic consistency and experimental data will always whenever you report experimental data you have to show that they satisfy the integral test otherwise they would not even accept it for publication this is one thing I omitted to discuss the other issues this is all this is for solvent-solvent systems and I have discussed it for binary you can actually discuss it in ternary and so on as far as you are concerned you just need to know what is thermodynamic consistency and how you test a binary system for data the other omission as I told you is reverse osmosis is far too important the process is also a nice plant in a place called Nareepa you this is in near Madurai it is a beautiful plant BHEL has constructed this plant what it involves is taking the there they using grid power not photovoltaic I am suggesting photovoltaic because grid power is also in short supply in India also drinking water supply is a need that is distributed there is no point in saying I will have 300 million tons of drinking water here in Chennai and then I will supply it to obscure villages never get there. So the whole idea is to have a series of plants and one of the biggest problems in reverse osmosis the membrane let me just describe the thermodynamic principle then I will describe the plant for you let us say you have a membrane as usual thermodynamics is do not have to be practical you can make drawings just to indicate this is a membrane the process so I have here I want H2O plus salt here this is component to this is component one this is just pure water ideally what I would like a seawater to come in for me to take out pure water typically the TDS the total dissolved solids and water that you drink is about 300 400 very acceptable for portable water but TDS in reverse osmosis water will be about 60 70 very low less than 100 and if water has very low TDS it is said to be very soft and it is an excellent solvent so very low TDS water cannot be passed through mild steel pipes and the curious thing about Naripayur is the following the state government wanted a this is a backward village and they wanted drinking water supply for this so they put up an experimental unit I think it is quite a large unit it is almost 1 million litres per day and they set up this plant BHEL set up this plant the reverse osmosis plant so what you do is take brain the process is something like this you have to take brain from seawater you will have a pump that pumps this out this is C in this brain has passed through a lot of processing the final unit is a membrane unit you should have brought you know if I have left my stick in this I have photographs of this membrane I will show you the membrane unit essentially consists of tubes because you need very large surface area each of these there are tubes like this inside each of the whole thing is a cylindrical tube of about one foot diameter the one you have here in the hostel is about one foot which in which there is a large number of tubes made of membrane semi permeable membrane the semi permeable membrane is such that it will let water through and no salt through so if I am doing an equilibrium between these two phases for at thermodynamic equilibrium you have mu 2 on that this is a this is beta alpha is equal to mu 2 beta for the moment let me assume that in fact the pressures will be different let us assume the pressure here is P and the pressure here is P prime the temperature is T mu 2 alpha is the chemical potential of water so you I have to write the chemical potential water in the mixture so it will be at T and P plus RT ln ? 2 X 2 that is the chemical potential model for water in solution on the right hand side it is pure water so it is mu 2 pure I do not need alpha here sorry this is liquid mu 2 liquid pure if you like this is also mu 2 liquid pure but this is at T and P prime in fact if the pressures were the same these two will cancel you will get log ? 2 X 2 has to be equal to 0 so ? 2 X 2 has to be equal to 1 so X 2 will be 1 which means essentially what will happen is if they were at the same pressure all the water will come this side it will keep diluting the solution till it gets more and more dilute and all the water will be on this side you actually want it the other way around the equilibrium process will cause water to come back in here so you need a pressure difference P – P prime to drive the water this way that can be calculated from here you get log ? 2 I will complete that picture in a minute log ? 2 X 2 is equal to this minus this right is equal to mu 2 liquid pure at T P prime – mu 2 liquid pure at T and P you know ? mu 2 by ? P is simply the specific volume of the pure substance and water is practically incompressible so this is simply V 2 liquid pure V 2 liquid into P prime – P this is written as V 2 liquid into ? with a – sign because P – P prime is called the osmotic pressure so this three lines it is a definition P – P prime is ? and ? is called the osmotic pressure yeah now this is all right now this one is RT here you can get an idea in practice you have to take ? 2 into account but for the moment let us just assume for sufficiently dilute solutions and see what is not really sufficiently dilute you have to actually do the calculations with ? 2 dilute solutions your log X 2 log ? 2 X 2 is approximately log X 2 because X 2 is approximately 1 X 1 goes to 0 X 2 goes to 1 tending to 1 not exactly the limit so this ? 2 becomes 1 when X 2 goes to 1 so you get approximately log X 2 which again is equal to 1 – X 1 log I am sorry log of 1 – X 1 which is – X 1 which is approximately – X 1 this is equal to – V 2 liquid into ? by RT so your ? the osmotic pressure is RT by V 2 liquid into X 1 to give you an idea of the order of magnitude let us calculate this in atmospheres R is for this system ET approximately ET temperature let us take room temperature by V 2 liquid is 18 x X 1 to mole fraction of salt how much does this come to 940 this is about 33,000 300 x X 1 your mole fraction of salt is 0.1 you are talking of 130 atmospheres actually typically for salt water for sea water the osmotic pressure is about 75 atmospheres so the engineering challenges you have a semi permeable membrane this membrane by its very structure for example the two kinds of membranes say the polymer membranes are made by DuPont so actually the first manufacturer of these membranes was Monsanto now the largest manufacturer is DuPont in the many other companies many are hidden DuPonts they are all subsidiaries and so on and then there is cellulose acetate membrane I forget the polymeric membranes exact name there is a polymeric one there is a cellulose acetate one this is non biodegradable this is degradable this is biodegradable cellulose acetate the membrane has cannot have pinholes if you have pinholes you will get all the salt water coming through so you are talking of a membrane that does not permit salt through but permits water the size difference after all is quite small between sodium chloride and water so you are talking of membrane that has it is like a molecular filter it filters out the sodium chloride sense the water through but it also has to withstand in a pressure of about 70 atmospheres just typically x1 will be about you can calculate x1 70 by 1300 7 by 130 what 0.25% is for x1 is 0.05 if it is sodium chloride you are talking of x1 is moles of sodium chloride into what is the molecular weight of sodium chloride in a CLS what 38.5 okay let us say approximately 60 if you are calculating moles if M is the molality it means it is moles per 1000 grams of solvent by 1000 by 18 x1 is simply M by this sorry this is correct M by 60 now this is moles per 1000 grams of solvent so plus M that is all so if this is 0.05 this is about 55 0.05 so M is what M is approximately 55 x 0.05 0.275 now 2.75 grams per 1000 grams of solvent or into 60 give me 120 plus 45 165 grams per 1000 grams of solvent roughly 15% by weight so C water is that composition so you get about 70 atmospheres for this and for 70 and just this is about 70 atmospheres for C water for brackish water that you take from the ground the value comes to about 20 atmospheres so reverse osmosis plants will differ because you have to have a membrane that is mechanically supported it is usually supported with metallic or ceramic supports which will essentially still allow this water to come through will the membrane should not tear it should not have pinholes you have maintenance problem continuously right now we do not have a membrane manufacturing unit here you must know that these membrane units are also used in dialysis we have actually done a piece of work here just mention that to you because it is an interesting problem for chemical engineers on a large scale is much harder to try but let me explain this the membrane units are like this I will get you a picture of this I will this is each of them is called a lumen and each of these is millimeters in thickness I mean these each lumen is only about 1 millimeter in radius so you are talking a very thin membranes which are kept all over the place there will be thousands of them in one bundle and all of these will be inside a shell so what will happen is you will have a tube like this let us say this is the inlet this is the outlet you have a series of tubes through which liquid will pass the shell side you will get out the water alone will come out this is seawater pure water will be taken out here this will be concentrated brain now this unit is there in your hostel what you will see is the outside shell the ceramic shell water that comes out is concentrated brain in your case you are actually using you are not bringing in seawater you are using brackish water so we have a bore well that picks up the water that is at something like 800 TDS then goes through this unit this will come out much higher concentration you can calculate by mass balance this will come out at about 40 the problem with reverse osmosis is it would not give you it insists on giving you a certain quality of water we will get 50 60 TDS although you are satisfied with 300 the membranes do not make that compromise the membranes will give you 60 but let me come back here this membrane the question is the same thing happens in the case of dialysis artificial kidney in the artificial kidney this is your blood plus urea blood containing urea here you get pure blood out here you get urea out which is a waste in this case you do not have this problem these are the lumens inside each lumen looks like this it is called a lumen and each lumen is about 0.5 0.2 mm diameter 0.2 mm varies the main advantage of a small large number of small diameter tubes is surface area you get that is what gives you the productivity so the urea is removed and wasted urea is a larger molecule than any of the most of these chlorides so what they actually do is they use a dialysate outside the solution outside the pipe will be identical with blood except for its urea they do not need the blood consists of also proteins proteins won't come through anyway so you can leave the proteins out but all the other components you will match the composition of the individual blood so they have this with labeled with the patient's name because it is reused and the outside solution is prepared exactly to the same specifications as this blood here except for the urea so the only thing that will come out of this thing is urea and there is a rule that blood should not touch any of the other parts so the whole thing is done in PVC this thing which is known to be biocompatible a special PVC material is used for the piping and when the blood is taken out it goes directly into this there is a peristaltic pump the way you pump this is the pipeline the tube goes through this the tube from the patient will go through this but there is a cam arrangement as this rotates every time it will pinch the my drawing is terrible of course these are two solid surfaces as it pinches it as it rotates it will pinch it and send out a pulse so these pumps these peristaltic pumps are used for this no contact of the blood with any other okay so the reverse osmosis is a very important part and I think for desalination it is going to be the way to do it because one of the most reversible ways of you can calculate the work here the work here is simply the volumetric flow times the pressure difference right W s dot is simply 5 times the volumetric flow V dot of flow and you can calculate that work you will find that is much smaller than the comparable processes of evaporation for evaporation you have to supply 540 calories per gram and for freezing you have to still supply 80 calories per gram in addition to that for freezing you have a unit you have the Carnot efficiency because you have to you are essentially talking about heat pump so if you take that into account you will come back to 540 but with multiple effect evaporation you can do with about 50 to 60 calories per gram here it is even less because the osmotic pressure you are talking of flow per gram you are talking of 118 this is all you have to do is take 1 gram of the flow which is 1 cc into pi 70 atmospheres so 70 into 70 cc atmospheres 70 cc atmospheres will come to what less than 2 calories as compared to 50 calories if you have a multiple effect of operator the factor of 10 so in principle this should be much less but there are hidden costs when you make comparisons like this you have to take the energy for making the membrane you are paying there right here it is less but you have to take the membrane manufacture plus this together to find out what the


An effort to bring more law enforcement training to the Northern Minnesota Leech Lake Tribal College is hosting a series of events for area agencies. The trainings teach a variety of courses and issue certifications for different skills such as de-escalation tactics during mental health crises. During today's training with Taser International, the participants were able to learn when to use a Taser, the proper way to deploy the weapon and follow-up procedure. The lesson included a live demo in which 50-thousand electricity is discharged from the Taser. As far as the college and the law enforcement program, what we want to do is we want to serve this community. The Tribal College wants to serve the reservation, the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe and area law enforcement officers and really the community that they police. Some of the upcoming trainings for law enforcement officials will be free through federal grants while others will have a fee.

The truth about being a Christian young adult part 2. Relationships are not the pinnacle. As much as it may seem that marriage and relationships and dating are the pinnacle of your life, when you actually enter one you realize that there is something greater, something beyond and this moves me into my next point that we need to have a bigger picture perspective of faithfulness to God and building legacy. We can get so caught up in what the world has to offer, all the pleasure and the parting and whatever else that it is trying to entice you with and we need to focus our attention on our mission. The mission of making Jesus known and sharing his love with other people through word and through deed and building his kingdom.
