I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Continuing here with a moment of silence. Thank you. Next, then, is approval of the agenda. Are there any additions to the agenda? Just approval then. I saw my vote. It's been moved and second, approved the agenda. All those in favor, say aye. Aye. Motion carried. Moving on then with reports. Kelly's on. Mm-hmm. Mrs. Lilley. Kelly's in. Yes, she is. She was from the beginning. I love you. Yep, now I do. I don't have anything to add to my written report unless you have any questions. Thank you. Mr. Allen. I'd just like to remind you, the board, we are planning to go ahead with an eighth grade promotion at Paxco like normal. We're eliminating our seventh grade awards that evening to kind of cut down on that crowd. We're going to be able to allow each family 10 tickets. And we've asked them if they're not using those all 10 to turn them back and then we'll listen to other families that would like to bring additional. So mark your calendar for that night. And if you plan on attending, please let us know. And we'll make sure we have a chair for you. But other than that, I'm good. Unless there's any questions. Thank you. I haven't tried to add to my report. She had any questions? Thank you. You got anything? Nothing at this time. OK. Thank you. That moves us down to the parents before the board. You're up. OK. Hello. Hi, Joseph. So yeah, I wanted to talk about the school that's actually right across from our house. And I know that it's being debated whether it's going to be what its future is going to be. I'm here on the assumption that it will be discontinued as a school. And so I'm interested in using it as a tool for economic development within Baxico and Bonzi County. My business is a growing business. This is exactly, this is something that would work really, really well for what we're wanting to do with our business. We import a beer out of Germany. And it actually has Baxico on the back label. That's a very, very special beer. It's a 500-year-old brewery. And it's been having a lot of success everywhere we go with it. We're expanding into, we're in four states now. We're looking at expanding into probably seven states before the end of the year, bringing on some pretty powerful sales personnel to help with that expansion. The success we're having is terrific. So the response is very, very good from the consumers. It's set for a solid, steady growth moving forward. And I would love for Baxico to be the hub of that growth, a place where we could really call home for the brand as it currently is on the label to actually give it a home there in Baxico. We're looking at hiring people. We want to start doing direct-to-consumer sales in states where that is possible. So there are probably, I think there are about 10 states right now where you can actually do direct-to-consumer sales. That'd be a great option to get into if we have the space to do something like that. Everything's set up to do that. I just don't have the space right now to be able to pursue that project. And then we're looking at, we do a lot of videography, for social media, and so on. Again, a great place for that type of work, especially with the fact that there's a kitchen there. You can talk about doing pairings, food and beer pairings right there in Baxico at the school. And yeah, ultimately, we're going to need office workers. We're going to need, Guller's not going to be the only brand. We're going to be bringing on other brands as well. He has a couple of them in the pipeline that I'm working towards, but we're going to get serious about bringing on other brands in the next couple of years as well. So we're looking at, again, a lot of some solid growth. We're going to need help, people coming in and working with us, employed with this business. And again, I would love for that to be in Baxico. So I wanted to put that out there as a great option for the school. It could go many, many different ways. It could be, I don't know, it could become something that as people in Baxico, as residents of Baxico, we may not want it to be something. We certainly don't want it to be abandoned. Wouldn't want it to be just demolished. And if it could actually be a source of great interest and income for the area, I think that's a win-win. So that's my proposal. Great. Thank you. Any questions or feedback for him at this point? OK. Thanks for coming. We appreciate it. And we are continuing to figure out plans for how we're going to approach that facility. And everyone will know as we get those plans put in stone, everybody will find out our communication process. So you'll be in the know as to what happens with it and when it's time to do something with it. Perfect. And if any of you want to ever talk with me about it and kind of understand what my business is and how we're building it out, please reach out and love to talk with you. So thank you. Great. Thank you. This is great. Joseph, you're welcome to stick around as long as you want to. But if you want to, if you have other things to do, you're more than welcome to leave. I appreciate that. So thanks, Joseph. OK, moving on then to the consent agenda. Any discussion? No. There you go. There you go. None. I just need a motion to approve. Can we move? Is there a second? I'll second. It's been moved and seconded. All those opposed, say aye, please. Motion carried. All right, moving on to holding new business, bond facilities. Jim Colgan is here to discuss some things regarding ASA and his phase one. And that updated strategic plan is set for everybody to see and is up on the board. So I will go ahead and turn it over to Jim. And it's all like, gee, there's no one to move. That's a cool BLCL, so you have CCLA. Yeah. OK, everybody has a copy. Thank you for the opportunity. We talked in February, gave me a lot of time to share PowerPoint. And my partner Jim Dynas introduced him was on. Last week, we got a touch base a little bit, tag along behind the engineering, which we do work a lot with the engineering. And so tonight, I thought, let's just cut to the chase. I want to give you a proposal for the research phase and what we do. That's the front end. The back end is marketing. And that's often a bigger one, because it's longer and involves a lot of additional work. This one's very important. You've already looked at the back side when we handed out a sheet to the kids, when they always go to the back side first, and see what's going on. So we'll give you a price back there of $12,000, $12,000. Do you have a next year's chance? Do you guys want to pass it on? Sure. I'll talk to you as we go ahead and pass it on. I had a wonderful chance to visit each of the school buildings and walk through the high school of Can. Last week, we enjoyed it a lot. Always astounded how far it is from Maple Hill to here. It's a long district. We work with a lot of districts, but we see the length and size of your district. It's always amazing. But anyway, compensation. You've seen it there. Let me walk them back through and let's go to the top. Bond research, and we already talked to you about our past history. I think if you go down to the bold, the influencers in the community can have significant impact on the outcome of the bond. But the registered voters, the people are the ones who really got to make their final decisions. So what we like to do is get in, help you form a clear plan, and a plan that will last for years, and one that is going to be the best for your school district, and then test that with voters. There's a lot of ways we can do that. Our research resources, of course, the one that I put here at the top that I really enjoy, and that's working with the architect, engineers, the Piper, Jeffrey, HDK. I know you've got them going. I know you don't have a contractor, or love to have a contractor in the room. If there's a way to do that, so you can work on ideas. I've done about 20-some million of construction myself as owner rep in a similar situation. And with all the change orders and working with them, it really works to have triangulation in the room when you're working with these guys. Starting with the planning, debating through the subs and all of that. So that's part of the experience I really enjoy. I love working with the numbers. And that's one of our resources. Another is, of course, open-ended surveys, and you've done some of that. We really enjoy doing that with the patrons, if we can get them. There aren't a lot that we have emails for, but definitely the parents. They're your consumers. They're people that are really looking for the best school for their children, and to really do a great survey is another input, a research input. Group meetings, of course. I don't like large ones. I like smaller ones. You get a large one, and you get maybe a theme going in the room, and everybody kind of follows it. A smaller one. People have more chance to express themselves. So more meetings, but smaller, I have found is always a great advantage. And then man and women on the street always enjoy that. Or they have a chance to talk to Jim down at the short, where the Phillips gas station. And I have to admit, I did stop in the Long Branch, and there was only one person sitting there. But she happened to be the former mayor and the current clerk for Paxaco. So she's been there since 1975. She graduated from Alma, and her kids have graduated. So that's a great resource. And Jim down there was a farmer just north, and same story. Those are fun, especially at the Long Branch. Tom, just kidding. I didn't know if they were going to be handling that beer or not. And then our shooting day, Tom, the real thing that we go across is our phone survey. And you guys have done some survey work. It's a great, great start. This is just phone poll number one for our last poll, which was up at Riley. We go into about 10 questions here, where we ask input on, and we ask not only yes or no, the why, and then make some choices. We give them their choices. But that comes from our research, so we can get focused. We always have another, if they want to put their own in. And then at the end, once they've been warmed up two, three, four minutes, we get into the open-ended questions and let them pop away. And by that time, they're usually very conversive and get some good opinions. Anyway, we record those opinions.  So we take the gender, the zip code. Are they a parent? Are they a patron? What grade are their kids in? And we cross-tab that. And then we can come up with several pages. In fact, that's the majority of our phone surveys, the company out of Utah. Finally got their pricing today, so I'm sorry I didn't get you the numbers earlier, but I was waiting on their pricing. They took a while to get that done. But then from this, we trust we have a plan that you can take and make it go. Once we're done with that, we feel we're then in a pretty good position to say, this will go, this is how it will go, and this is why it will go. So on the back side, I'll cover deliverables quickly. We help you develop a needs assessment, a clear plan, sustainable plan. We make recommendations to the bond package. We help you develop bond language, that's very clear. I saw your bond language. Certain words, when someone's reading, the bond proposal in the voting booth, is a plus or a minus, can be a negative, can be a positive. And then advise on all communications and messaging. Got a timeline here, if we can get going, and I know it's not on here at the Genesis National, but we'd love to be able to get it done in 90 days and then be able to have it done so that then you can start right in the fall in August, we can start in the fall then with the marketing and that's an assumption, of course we'd love to be able to do that. So last paragraph, I'm pulling this complete, we'll advise district leadership on message format, budget or recommendations. Communication need effectively campaign a bond vote that could pass in November and we'll assist with all recommendations. And I know you get tired of hearing that, we've been successful, 94.447% of the time, I'm just kidding, 90.4. Other close of this, I work in a lot of school sites where I do research and I'm a school digger. I have an elementary school rate at 78,000, 660,000 in Kansas. And you have a high school that's rated 68 out of 325 in Kansas. And this is a website that partners with Zoho for people who aren't looking for a school district to move to. So there's my close of that, keep that going. If you have a great product, they'll come. This beer purveyor tonight is counting on that and I'm sure it relates that well, but you understand what I'm saying. You have a great school, great start, knock it down for the next plan for the next 20, 30 years.  Perfect to hook up and keep it following. But anyway, again, I thank you for the opportunity to come and I'll take any questions or dim the range a little bit. Any questions? We just listed our bond. We've done over 200 research projects of all kinds, including governorships and state as well as legislative representatives, et cetera. And I believe the majority of the board believes that we do need a bond of some sort and we need to do that by November in order to make sure that we get our self setup for success in the future. And November poll is desirable. More people will come out. This is an action item for us? This is an action item for two, correct? I don't see that on your agenda, sorry about that. The, I mean, I guess part of my question is if we are hiring you to help us put a plan together, that is obviously gonna work with the voters because that's what you do, correct? Work with the voters, you come up with a plan, come back to us, tell us what that plan is, we put it together and made it. In all intents and purposes you would believe that that would be a successful bond. We really want you and me and the lead on helping to make that plan. It's not gonna be any good if we don't have, you know, what you really want is the seven members out of seven agreeing on the plan and that really helps to start the process down the road. But yes, yeah, you'll be working with you, get there. My, I guess my feedback comes around to our budget if we had funds available, and I'm not saying we can't make $12,000 available, but every dollar that we spend on this, in my opinion, we take it out of the kids' hands at this point. And if we spend another $12,000 here and it doesn't pass, what did you gain? Oh, we don't gain much. What do you gain if it does pass? We gain. 18 out of 19. Yeah, but you still gained your $12,000 is my point. Whether we are successful in the end of the game or not, you've still been paid, you still move on, you get your deal and signed, sealed, delivered or not delivered. What you'll get out of it is research results. You'll get a lot of information that will really help you in your decision process. And remember, this doesn't mean, when we're done, doesn't mean it goes to a vote. We've provided you research and input from your patrons that you'll never have reached this level of input that you'll have. At that point, you'll make a decision. Do we trust these guys? Do we go on with it? And then you start down the road of marketing, at which point, we have a ton of advice there, because that's a very, that's a big part, that's a strength part too. We look at marketing as not marketing. We look at it as education, teaching, explaining. And people when they're taught and explained and shown the positives nine times out of ten, get that and they go, I understand that. I may not like that, but I understand that and I'm open to it now, rather than just fancy stuff or yard signs or whatever, but getting them to really understand it. And that's our job in the second half. But you can stop, yeah, you will not have wasted $12,000. You'll have, we trust $12,000 worth of information and education and with the help of an architect as well, as I said, I'd love to get a contractor involved and we can talk about that if we decide to go ahead because there are ways that you can do that. And they give you a lot of practical advice. You got to walk with your engineer last time and keep that ball rolling. From there on, funding, since it's a marketing campaign or a campaign in a way, now you're gonna rely on other sourcing, a yes crew, a yes group, an architect and contractors, all those people now are committed, they're committed, then that's not much money for them to help pay for marketing to get them the job to be a contractor, be your architect, get paid, get paid as an engineer, et cetera. Yeah, you're right, $12,000, what's your annual budget? You know, I'm way like that. When it's negative, it doesn't matter if it's $3 billion or it's $1, if it's negative, where's the $12,000 company? I know exactly where you're at, I understand, yeah. And we understood that going in that you're smaller district and budget would be a consideration. That research and this service is $18,000 to $22,000, I know that doesn't mean anything to you, but that's the range that we normally would get for this project. And we won't do the project that we don't think we can win, that's just not the way we do business. And we have passed on some for a couple reasons. People ask us to not, you know, do what we feel is the right way to do it. And there's research particularly in the bias and wording and such, but also if we don't think it's, if there's a way to get it won, we won't advise that also. Yeah. It's usually a case of a dollar amount and a mix of outcomes that the public would support that we can give you some certainty about passing the bond. That we, the only one we lost, the client at Shawnee Island School District, they had an assistant superintendent that passed, they'd lost them three bonds prior to the time they hired us. We had done five bonds, Oklahoma option budgets, including the Hummer Sports Park was the last one. That's what kind of got us in the business one now. But they would not change some wording. They wanted to call it a performing arts center. You know, it was a rural community, not as rural as yours, but as a rural community. And they looked at that as extravagant. And in the peak, there was a performing arts center that had a negative image. So our research said we could pass all three of their valid issues if they would change that performing arts center to an auditorium or a multi-purpose entertainment or education at arts center. So, but they refused to do that and communications director through a fit because he'd already put out brochures calling it a performing arts center and a couple of teachers likely had the idea. It's the only one we've ever lost. And we won't do that again because we knew based on our research is very precision and cracker jack and we can give you references with our chamber of Congress, the city and the county of Topeka, everything that they've given us when people said it couldn't be done, we've got it that, including local option budgets for streets and economic development. And five, I can't even say that. So, we won't do this just to make money. We, this is about our core business side of it. When we did the Roder County project, we had other districts calling us and Jim likes that side of the business. And so, we're not out soliciting for it. Aggressively, we're busy doing what we do with sports marketing for our high school. But if we take on your project, I have a affinity for discounting and a lot of people I know from here and around here. So, it would be a cost to ask if we did it as much as anything. I think it's an impeccable record. No, I'm trying to speak for itself. There's a lot that goes into research into determining whether or not it's going to pass or not. And, I mean, we know, I don't know personally because I was involved with a full process, but some individuals here know what that means, what that takes, the work that needs to go into it for it to succeed. I don't see our district not being able to, I mean, continue to operate without a law. I think it's somewhat of a mean something and it needs to be sustained. I think a maintenance bond is not an appropriate solution. And I think this is an investment. I think you can look at items that we pay as expenses or investments. And if you see it as an expense, yeah, I can understand that standpoint, but if you see it as an investment, think about what you could get out of it in terms of the long path. This is virtually nothing that could be wrapped up into a cost to the loan itself if we didn't want to pull that forward. So, I just see it as a huge investment that we would be missing out on. Kelly, do you have any feedback that you'd like to share? Sorry, Kelly, we didn't hear your real well. Could you repeat that? Yeah, that's much better. So, I just said I don't have a lot as a business at this point in time. I think that if we are going to propose another bond issue for those of our elections, that would be unique in terms of with the commitment to change it.  Yes, yeah. Okay, I think last time around, we did gain quite a bit of feedback from constituents, but it was only from those who really either didn't want us to do anything or had a vested interest in the bond. It may not necessarily have been those that voted one way or another. Anyway, so, I don't know if, you know, I think we need assistance, but is it a difficult one for me? Do you have something else, Jim? No, I'm just gonna make sure we had all the, if you don't want us to wait here for any more, I'll move to approve that proposal that ASA has provided us with $12,200. It's been moved, is there a second? Okay. It's been moved and seconded to accept the proposal from ASA communications, regarding our future bond proposal. All those in favor say, aye. Aye. Opposed, same sign, motion carried. All right. Thank you, sir. You're on the payroll. All right. Hi, guys. We're ready to go on, Brad. Let's go. All right. Thank you. I'll talk to you tomorrow. All right. Thank you. Thanks. Okay. I'll move. The other part of that is under the same information in regards to bond and or facilities is just that Gail has put together just an example of using a map that's on your tables. And you'll see that by moving the line from the blue line there to a red line in the middle there, now it's basically not having McFarland but moving the line around McFarland and then having them be headed to Maple Hill, the numbers would look like this as far as projections. And he utilized out of district as well but there's some things without a district that we can still talk about. So between eight to 10 to 12 number of students difference then between Elm Elementary and Maple Hill Elementary and now projected it would be 44 different. 108 in Elma, 64 in Maple Hill including the class of six in that second grade. So some things to think about with that. Do you want to move kids down there and then turn around and have a bond and move them again with a projected or a possibility of a PK six at Paxco or some other type of configuration as such? Something to think about that. And so I just want to put that out there that that's a possibility to help in even out the classes because we've been up front with staff and as well as you all about wanting to as much as possible have even classes and classrooms for our students and for our staff. So this would allow that to happen but again how it fits into a bond and what that may look like but moving kids back and forth. So I'll just consider. Is that East West bound? It comes down to the interstate and then goes down to that drainage ditch about and then down to Fairfield Road. Even we would like to need it but we would still utilize probably both elementary schools. So even if we were to have a bond pass it wouldn't necessarily mean all of a sudden we have to change the line or the form. Get rid of the line. That line may still have to exist because we still have to have the dual and interstate. And the out of district kids you can tell us the total of six. Federated here now. Yeah. Two from Topeka, correct? Two from Topeka. Go ahead. Two from out to Vista. And the others are from Longington. So if need be, you know, fairness to all to Vista could. So if you change just two instead of eight it would be 10, then difference in the total student population between the two. But I wanted to put that out there and thoughts on that. We need to decide on that soon. Yeah. But and since we just presented you the information you can roll them and think about it and do those kind of things. It would be with the transition we're already involved in. It would probably be a very good time.  But this was a viable option. So yeah, this is not the first time of purpose. Any other thoughts, questions around that? Okay, Kelly. I just have a number of questions. So if you want a red line in Longington at the end of the day, would you like to be on the May agenda as an action item? If that's what you guys need. I mean, I'm in favor of these types of moves if our leadership has discussed it. We've discussed it with our staffing and that's what you all come to. Who am I to get in the way of that? I mean, I don't know that that's really what I am good at making decisions based on running a school in that manner. So that's where I'm at. If it's good for you guys and it's good for your teachers, then I'm all for it. I agree with that. Appreciate it. It would be needed to be since changing a policy that it would have to be a board action but appreciate the thoughts for sure. Which is fine. That recommendation comes to me. Like this is what we need to do, then I'll first report it. We'll have it on the May agenda. Okay. Then to information item, Enterprise Vehicle Program. I'm sorry, the Ms. Murray. Oh, I'm sorry. I thought maybe we're already on that. Yeah, sorry, okay, investment grade audit. Just that our next steps, they provided Brad Ray in your board packet as the next steps piece of that. It doesn't commit us to a energy performance contract, but what it does do is, then allows us with the company that as far as the FCIP verification approval, et cetera, then we will have the information to have solid numbers that we start building then. This is what it's gonna cost. This is what it'll look like. And then making a determination on final guaranteed pricing for the things that we're doing as we move forward. And then after that, the next step with it, the board approves the final energy performance contract. So alls we are asking them to do is get down to the hardcore number. Yep, authorizing ESP to proceed with obtaining final pricing for the selected scope for the energy performance contract. I so move to allow them to go to the next steps. So it's been moved and seconded. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed, same sign, motion carried. Thank you for that, Brad. You bet. And I'm sorry, I missed the second. Did you just do the show? That sounds okay. Okay, thank you. I didn't hear you. You're on my back. You're on my back here. That is, that's, I never do that. All right, next item then is the enterprise vehicle program. Just wanted you to, the board to know that we're continuing, we've got some maintenance costs. We looked at, so we have an apples to apples comparison, what they can do as far as cost savings to the district and providing safe reliable equipment for the school district. Obviously there's some things that we have purchased that wouldn't be involved with that. And that would be on a rotating basis on down past the year. We determine if it's five years, 10 years, whatever we want to do, and then have the ability to then have newer equipment. And again, then should see lower maintenance costs, better gas, all those things. So they're putting an apples to apples comparison. And we'll hear about that on the 22nd of April. So we'll have hopefully something to bring to you in May. Because it is an issue with things we continue to have. For instance, we put a thousand dollars in one of the vehicles and the value, when you look up, blue book value is $1,500. Does that make sense for us to continue to do that? Those kind of things. So that's what will be coming forth in May. So excellent, I like it. Any questions around that? Moving on then, next is Emily Henderson and Melissa Watson. Hi guys, welcome here so I can see everyone. Hi Emily. Melissa Watson is going to be coming on Zoom here if she gets done with her training show tonight. But I'm really excited to be here with you guys tonight. I've wanted to get here for a while. I was on the agenda on the meeting where we showed everything down. So I'm happy to be here this year. So I currently serve as the school liaison for 329. I've been here since October of 2019. So I just wanted to hop on and come here to show you guys some of the data that we've worked on, some of the programming that we're doing here in the schools. And I'll provide you guys with opportunity to ask some questions about what we have going on. So here we have just kind of our circle of support. We're wanting to connect our families, our schools, and our community mental health center across the internet homes. Can provide more access to those rural communities. So if you want to go on to the next slide, I'm Melissa Barnes. You have me too. Awesome. So these are some of our goals when we first got here. Number one, we wanted to provide access to care to our rural community. Even in Maple Hill, it can be 30 miles to get access to the rural community. So we wanted to be able to provide that access to care here in our school buildings and reduce any of those barriers that might be in place for some of our families. We also wanted to enhance our connection, our communication, and our collaboration between Crosswinds and our school, as well as our teachers, our students, and our families that are participating in the program. We also wanted to build school and community engagement. And this was included in the Not One More presentation, some of the Yellow Ribbon initiatives. I helped sponsor that club. So I'm working a lot with students of the high school to help support mental health and just working to create a network of support for our students using all of our community and our school resources together.  Show me why this works. Show me why this is good for students. So if you hit the next slide, Mr. Barnes. Every semester I submit a progress support to the State Department of Education. So this is our data in December in May of 2020 and in December of 2020. So each student has the opportunity to be marked with four different indicators. Attendance, behavior, academics, and internalizing behavior. So some of those things like feelings of anxiety, feelings of depression, some of those internal mental health concerns. So when I first got here, it was October of 2019. So in December of 2019, you can see where we were at. And we've progressed since then. Important things to note, we've been in the middle of a pandemic. So attendance and academic performance, those are some of the things that have been part of track this semester. So we've been doing the best that we can to make those informed decisions and write as many students as we can. Do you guys have any questions about any of that data that is up there? And not every student is marked for every indicator. So if attendance is not a concern for that student, then we don't mark it as a concern for that student. These are just for the students that have these individual concerns. All right, next slide. So these are our students reached. This school year, we've reached 122 individual students. So that doesn't include any of the classroom stuff that we do or any of the whole school approaches that we take. This is individual work with students to give you kind of a marker of where we are versus last year, last year, we reached 63 students in the entire year. This year, we're at 122. There are 45 individual students that are engaging in ongoing services this year through Crosswinds. So in the 2019-2020 school year, we had 12 additional students that were referred and then this year, we have 34 additional students that have been referred to the program. And so obviously we've had some students leave, some students graduate, we'll do great things and then we'll have our needs services. So that's how those numbers change. Okay, and yeah, good question. On the 122, how does that look between like gray bubbles? I would say it's pretty even throughout the entire district. I wouldn't say that there's an area of need that is more consistent. I know at the high school, we do have a counselor, so some of those concerns are able to be addressed at her. So we work to address all of the needs that we can. Later, I'm gonna go through the tiers and kind of where we're working. We're working from a tier three perspective right now. So up there with Annie Frank, our social worker, she works with two three students as well. Great, did that answer your question? Awesome. Okay, so this is a quote. Last year I presented to the KS Board of Education. I was asked as one of two programs in the state to come present on all of the cool things that are happening in our rural school district. So this is a quote that one of our teachers gave we get the opportunity for all of our teachers to give us some feedback. So I've been an early childhood educator for five years. For those five years, I've found more and more need of social-emotional skills being taught that the children are missing for one reason or another. This year I had the great privilege of having many services available to me. These services weren't just through crosswinds, but also having a school liaison readily available for any needs I would have. As a teacher, I am in definite need of these services and cannot thank all of you who provide them and assist in teaching those skills enough. And then I also have two of our administrators who gave me some of their feedback. The knowledge and skills brought to schools was invaluable being able to assess, student and family needs made it easier for our school liaison to make referrals to the local mental health center, the relationship of our local mental health center was strengthened by ongoing communication and the referral process. When this program was built, it was a pilot. So we started from the ground up. This is something that we've built here to accommodate the needs of our rural school district. Adding this type of support and guidance that our students and our district needs, having a presence here in the community and here in the school at events, that's something that we've really strived to do this year. So on the next slide, something that we're gonna look into in the future. So as you guys have heard, we're moving towards NTSS as a district. This is an example from Tazen of mental health supports and how those would work for our students. So we have tier one at the bottom that is supports that all students get because you're a student at USC 329, you deserve to have these supports in place. The next tier is tier two. So those are some of our students. Those might be some individual interventions, some group interventions, looking at those progress monitoring things. And the tier three would be a few of our students. So intervention, support teams, school re-entry if we need it, some crisis services in there. And then kind of dividing up what that might look like. This is from my ASDE handbook. So this is how a district separates those responsibilities between people who are working in the school district. Do you guys have any questions on what any of that looks like? So just looking at this on a behavior help team, the counselor is responsible for classroom focus tier one. And then the tier two and three with some and few, then the social worker, which we have to spend social worker with Annie. Right, and right now on this turn over here, this district, the school liaison's referred to as a lot of different things. It's a pilot program right now. So behavioral health social worker is what they would call the school liaison. Okay. Yes. So you're in that tier two and three with some and few students. And this is absolutely not to say that the counselor does not ever do any crisis intervention or any suicide assessments or that the social worker doesn't do any of that. We definitely intertwine with some of those responsibilities sometimes. This is just an example that was put forth by KSC as to what this might look like once we move towards that tiered system of supports. I wanted to share with you guys today just some data about what's going on in schools and answer any questions that you guys have about our program. Right now the grant is in legislature right now. So we should know about mid-May. It'll be a pretty quick turnaround process if we want to reapply for that grant. And we're hoping that it will move from October to be in this published program. So that would be really exciting for our schools. So yeah, I really want to answer any questions if you have any. Really good progress. Start from home wherever we started from. Brad's been keeping us abreast of what? You've come up several times and it's always been, it's always good to hear about Emily. So you're doing a good job and we appreciate it. The numbers are showing up too. So. Thank you. I appreciate that. Thank you. I don't know if Melissa Hawthorne may remember. She wants to add anything. I'm not seeing anything from her. I know one thing that she wanted to talk about that I missed in the presentation is that we don't just provide therapy here at the schools. There are a lot of different services that Crosswinds provides here in our school. So we have therapy, we have case management, we have attendant care. We also have emergency services if our kids need those. We have med clinic, all of those services are able to those families that are in the program and as we refer them through those processes. Now, Echo, Tony, I mean, we're very thankful for Emily and the relationship with Crosswinds. And you ask other school districts, they don't have this. I mean, this is a rare commodity and very thankful that we have it. And when we get into a little more of the information Kansas Community Care Survey, it really shows the need and the continued need of what they're doing. And obviously they've got the data backing it up. Some things that we're doing up with going to the tiered system of support that we as a school district will be doing with KSDE and moving forward with that, continue to meet that need. So it's something that is great for our school district, great for our kids and families. And just very thankful that the support, that the state with the grant is provided as well as the school district and allowing all that to happen. So thank you. And the kids and families really thank you all. And thank you a lot. Thank you, I appreciate that. Tentas, they provide a majority of the grant for that need. Yes. It was 75-25. And they also provide it to some grant funding to the grant fund as well. Yeah, it's a win-win for the community behavior group as well. It also has our school contracted case manager as well, Melissa Watson. And I keep telling her that I keep, when she says present at KSDE and doing things, back off.  I know what they're after. And we want her here. So anyway, she serves on a lot of things. So anyway, thank you so much. Yes, thank you. Sorry, I took the spot. Excellent. Then moving on to the resolution of approving this bill. Yeah, I can send you guys some stuff on legislative things happening. There's a Senate Bill 40 that there are hearings that can be requested by students, by parents or students, and or by employees, regarding specifics of things from the governor's office. Then within that, you have to have requirements for hearings, and the hearing officer and recommendation fan association school boards as well, that superintendent being the hearing officer versus having the whole board have to get together. Board still has to make a decision about those within a certain specific timeline, but it then frees up and allows you not to have to be involved in that particular time. And so I would just be the hearing officer. So just to clarify on that, the hearing officer makes the decision, and then do we have to convene in that seven days? You do. OK. I was thinking, that was what I was reading. So we still will have to go off here. I mean, we're going off here, the hearing officer and recommendation. And the situation is right now with us, it has to be within the last 30 days of a plan change. In other words, you guys as a board, we came and said, this is our reopening plan for our school district in July, August, when you guys approved that. That's not changed. So there was one change in November with the quarantine situation with the high school. If it's 30 days, if you make a change in 30 days, then you're open to exempt from that. You still have to have the hearing with your exempt in the sense that if somebody spreads a case to the hearing officer as to the board, as a representative of the board, it would be nulled in the fact that we have to have it. But there's no decision change because it isn't within 30 days of a change in the reopening plan. Yeah. Any other questions, comments around that? Seems pretty straightforward. Is there a motion then to make our superintendent our hearing officer? I so move. Coming in, Jim, all those opposed, please say aye. Motion carried. Other duties as assigned. I think duties as assigned. Put it on my resume. There you go. All right. New guitar class. Yes, exactly. Is it going to be under 2? What's that? Is it going to be under 2? The guitar class? Uh, I'm, yeah, I'm not, yeah. The next year we'd like to have our current music instructor, Jamie Rogers. He talked for six years guitar previously in Mission Valley. And since it does involve, because typically, again, what happens is board policies. You guys approve the schedule that's included in the student handbook. But if there's things that are going to need to be purchased or personnel or things like that, then you go ahead and have to approve that prior to those type of things. We want to have the class approved so that then we can move forward with the pre-enrollment piece. There has been some pre-enrollment, but the numbers aren't real accurate because students really don't know if the class is going to be approved or not. It is no additional cost as far as personnel. So he would be taking on this guitar class and then also helping with fifth grade here in Alma Elementary because of the way of the travel and split Peter Ruby would continue to have the fifth grade of Maple Hill while the fifth grade is here in Alma Elementary with Mr. Rogers being able to do that. And they've worked that out. So it would be, too, that we would have it, again, when you approve fees at the organizational meeting in July, we'd have a small fee adjusted to that so that over time, just like with the iPads, it would then help to recoup some of the costs for repair or some of the equipment. It also helps to have some skin in the game for people in regards to the equipment. He's asked for four guitars, the cost of $750 for the guitars and music, and then just asking for the approval of the board to move forward with this. I think it's a good thing, again, for our opportunity for our kids. I'm up to approve the class. I second. All those opposed, say aye. Motion carried. Thank you. Great addition, I think. Thank you, Janie. You're listening. Appreciate your push. All right. Thank you. Moving down into personnel. I would like to have an executive session for 10 minutes, if we could have that, if that's okay. For which one? I'm sorry, for non-elective personnel. I move we go into executive session to discuss individual, employee performance pursuant to non-elective personnel, exception under coma, and the open meeting will resume in the boardroom at seven 10. Sorry. All those opposed, please say aye. Motion carried. We'll be back. The file office is open.  Thank you. Moving on then with employment. I think what I would, so I would like to make a motion to approve employment as submitted, but I am going to go through those submissions. Okay? Sure. So if there is a second, then I'll go through those, those submissions as they're listed on the sheet. Does that make sense? No. Okay. Okay, so it's been moved and seconded to approve the personnel submitted as one, approving the substitute teacher, Braden Sunberg, approving the substitute classified bus driver, Steve Lyra, approving the elementary, fourth grade teacher, higher of Emily Garrett, approve the bus driver, Philip Wildenauer, to approve the substitute teacher, classified sub of Matthew Alhoff. Then we are accepting the resignations of the Maple Hill Elementary Library Media Tech, Shelby Hollenbeck, we're approving the resignation of a substitute teacher, Kip Kress. We are approving the transfer of duties of Kerry Rosine, from Paxwood Middle School to fifth grade at Maple Hill, Brooke Janssen from Alma Elementary School, fourth grade to Alma Elementary School, fifth grade, and Trevor Keller from the Junior High Assistant Football Coach to High School Assistant Football Coach. And then are we adding anything? We need to have that motion. Did we do the motion, Kerry? With that reason? I just gave you the motion, so we're getting ready to vote for it right now. Okay. I wanted to try, I didn't miss it. So are we adding anything, or is that coming next month? Yeah, I would like to, if you, yeah, if you want to support that, find out one way or the other, yeah. So should we make that a separate motion? Okay. So right now, motion is as stands, and I just named those off as submitted. Okay. All those in favor, say aye. Aye. I see her mic moving, but we don't hear it. Is she muted? All right, are you muted? No, she's on. I can see her mic right there. No, she isn't. The little microphone's still there. Yeah, it was. Jerome, there's a motion on the table of approving the employment as submitted on your sheet here. I went through and named them all off, but on your sheet. She says she messaged, I don't know if yes. Okay, very messaged. Right now, we have five votes. Would you like to vote on this? And that's six, motion period. Okay, and then I would like to make a motion to approve a K-6 counselor position. Pre-K-6. Is there a second? It's been moved and seconded to approve a Pre-K-6 counselor position for USD 329. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Aye. What's Kelly's vote? I haven't seen it yet. Kelly voted yes. She voted that before. No, it's, that's a second one, isn't it? I'm just asking her. Yeah, he's asking. Yes. She said yes. Okay. Opposed, same sign. Okay, motion carried. Superintendent Forum. Just wanted to let you know that I've given you all the information about the Kansas Communities of Care survey results. And just that it continues to be the sheriff Robin mentioned before at community meetings five times the national average of suicide for our county. And this information, again, I've talked about it being valid and reliable. The sense that the survey has the ability to separate out those that are just lying and take that information out and not have it countered. But we continue, if you look at this, here at first thing, seriously ever considered thought about killing yourself. Yes, in the past year, 18.26, and that's a percentage of six, 10th, six, eight, and 10th and 12th graders, which is significantly higher than the county and the state. And that is a percentage of all the kids in our district or all the kids that responded to this survey. Responded to this. How many kids responded to this survey? Six, eight, 10 and 12, 200 and... About 270 some is what I thought it would be. Probably something like that. There I can pull up numbers of responses. The other thing that bullied through texting, social media or gaming, at least regularly one or two times a week, 6.84 compared to the county 5.53, compared to the state 5.67 from 2017 through 2021. During the past 12 months, have you been bullied at school regularly one or two times a week? This actually has gone down for us and is below the county and state averages, which is a good sign. And another thing that we wanna know, what do adults do at school when they see bullying? And the response, stop it and solve the problem. And we are 37.07% of our students say the adults would stop it and solve the problem. It's lower than the county, a little lower than the state, and 2020 was highest 57%. So we do have people that will do something about it. Again, and then more specifically, have you ever tried to kill yourself? Yes, in the past 30 days, 2.59% of our students that took the assessment say they tried.  Yes, again 12.93 at any point in time percentage, which is significantly higher than those in the county and the state. Made a plan, again, 19.83% higher than the county, lower than the state average. But again, it's information that we wanna really continue to keep track of and address as much as possible. So very thankful for all your support in regards to social and emotional mental health. And we'll continue to look. And I would again like make reference to take a look. There's a lot of information in there about what's causing it and can we see through with is it alcohol, is it other drugs, is it those other sayings that are in it. But specifically with our county and the things that have happened, national averages wanted just to give you the information and thus make data made, driven decisions on what we're doing. So the second thing is Paxville Middle School Crossroads Realty had worked with them. They came out several times. They used to square footage the letter that's in your board packet to determine what the unit would be, or excuse me, what Paxville Middle School possibly could be valued at. And they believed that the greatest ability for that as an asset is as a storage unit and the value was determined at $100,000. So that gives us a gauge if and when we decide to sell it. Administratively we feel like recommendation is to wait to sell it until we see what happens with the prospective bond in November. Because if we have to move kids for situations we need to have that asset and have that available to us. It also allows us some time to get things out. So the things that we wanna like, the fifth graders coming to the elementaries, we need whiteboards, we need this, we need that, getting all that stuff out and getting it in place. Thank you for the substitute class five person, but that would be Freddie and Matt doing that and that's the only two we would have for Moe and for doing this as well. So that's the plan and again, that we have a value. Crossroads have that value with the modules? With it? Yeah, with and without I believe is the- They thought it'd be about the same without or with. I mean, I can't imagine that they're gonna have a whole new value. Yeah, thanks Tony for putting it out because we're not gonna, right now, initially we talked about moving them up to the junior high, but that's again at an expense again if we aren't going to need them or whatever if we have to move kids out, Steve and his staff have done a good job of determining where locations are and working on building a schedule to meet that need. And so we don't need that at this point other than selling the one modular which will be on purple wave the 25th of May. So if you have an interest in a modular and then them getting it out of there but we wouldn't have to again move something up there which we thought we were gonna have to do. Yeah, yeah, but you're right. It does say that with and without. One of the things they also mentioned in there is if we decide to sell it, their professional opinion would be to have the option at the property. So that everybody has equal opportunity. I know we declared it a surplus that would be in competition and I've talked to them about that. But as I said, once it's sold initially then you don't have that again. And so the ability if you said that we wanna put in there that we have a reserve of 100,000 if that's what we want to choose to do, we could do that. So and the possibility if there's equipment or other things included in the building they were gonna be able to auction off how at the same time. Fresh loads of whoever we would choose. That's all I have, sir. Your own. Do we have outside groups that wanna use facilities after school adjourns for the year? Do what? I'm sorry. Do we have outside groups? Yeah. We wanna use facilities after school adjourns for the year. At the end of this school year? Yes. So if we're gonna discuss that next meeting we're gonna change the policy. Yes, sir. No, that's it except I don't wanna get into the situation where this is not this subject exactly where we start to hear the guidance that we need to start next school year for just a month with masks. And then we get in middle September and it becomes well, we should really go one more month just to be safe. And then we get, well, we should really go to Christmas. I think if we're gonna fight it we need to start fighting at the end of this year otherwise we're just gonna get rolled over by the health professionals and their guidance because they have nothing to lose. The jobs included when they do a bad job there are no consequences. Unlike some of the other stuff that was here. And then I just don't let go.  I'm not gonna worry about that. I think we need to fight that sooner rather than later because you're gonna hear the suggestions creep up. Next meeting though, we've got a new real plan. Correct. So. Correct. Cool. Yeah, that is. Thank you. Okay. Tell me. Brad just in response to the survey results for the companies that care.  So I just am really grateful that our district went full time, reopened this plan because if we hadn't, those numbers would be higher. So I'm just really grateful that we did that. Yeah, thank you, Kelly. And for the board's support of us doing that when we did. So it literally took everybody from you all, administration, teachers, staff, everybody, students, parents, everybody.  So it's just going through the root for mental health. So I'm just so glad that we stayed the course, did what we need to do, and that our numbers are not wonderful but they could have been a lot worse. I think I'm glad we're doing this because it raises awareness for all of us, like me, that was the biggest thing, whether those are good or bad numbers, the awareness was not with me, I didn't have that mentality. So I'd like to know it. Kelly, is she still on? Does she have any comments? The voice deal is working. Other than that, I do not have any either. Thank you all for what you do. Thank you. Is there a motion to adjourn? Jerome? Yes, all of them. All right. All second. All those in favor say aye. Aye. The motion is as carried in the meeting as adjourned. Kelly. She said I don't think you can hear me. Thanks.


Hello and welcome to the Jackie Boswell show presented by Buffalo Wildlings I'm Greg Royce joined with Stevenson women's basketball head coach Jackie Boswell and coach you played a couple Matt Commonwealth conference games last week. We'll start off with Lemon Valley a game That was really tight to the fourth quarter and you guys kind of blew it open kind of got some stops and made a late run Yeah, I thought our defense kept us in the game. You know until we couldn't make that run I was just waiting every quarter for that run to come and you know right as the fourth quarter came along You know, I said to our team right before it started. I just said, you know, we've done a great job defensively We we've executed everything and now it's time for us to go on that offensive run And I thought we did a great job in the fourth quarter. Yeah, certainly It's certainly I think it was like tied or you guys are up to go to that fourth quarter I think I figured what the final was but it was mid double it was like 15 17 points something like that and You know just to be able to pull away like that and to be able to finish somebody at home You know, especially at home you want to win all your conference games because we know the road so tough Yes, we talked a lot about that this year We have to take care of business at home because every time that we go on the road It's always going to be a tough place to play leading us right up into the Arcadia game It was hard and you know, everybody in our conference is going to be beating everybody It's a dogfight every year. So we have to be able to take care of business at home Yeah, it's about that Arcadia game you pull out about eight point victory on the road You know, but again that probably game was a lot closer for a lot of that than than the margin of victory You know just pull out a road victory and you know for your fourth straight How do you feel about the team going into you know talk about the arcade game? But also how do you feel going into the exam break? Well, I couldn't be more happy with where we are right now seven and three going into an exam break with just with such a young team I think is exactly where we want to be need to be You know taking care of business on the road right before exams It's always a tough game to play because our students are focused on their grades and their exams coming up So just real happy with how we I thought we executed I thought that even though the game was close at Arcadia I felt like we were in control of the game the entire time and Again, it was just going to take one of those couple stops and a couple scores in between for us to be able to put it away And and again, I thought we did a good job with that So again seven three going into the break right here is is a good spot to be and You know, hopefully we you know get everything done and they're taking care of business this week And we get back on the court. Yeah, and then obviously you finish up finals this week Then you've got a couple games coming up here at goucher on Saturday Then a big one on Monday each have a merry-man a team that's been playing pretty well.

QuickBooks Online 2024 Customize Report. Get ready because we're going to Bookkeeping Cloud 9 with QuickBooks Online 2024. Here we are online in our browser searching for QuickBooks Online Test Drive looking for the result that has Intuit.com and the URL Intuit being the owner of QuickBooks selecting the United States version of the software and verifying that we're not a robot. Open it up our major financial statement reports like we do every time reports on the left hand side and then within the favorites we're going to right click on that balance sheet report open in new tab right click on the profit and loss open in new tab go up to that middle tab we just open close up the hamburger there's our balance sheet let's do a range change up top going from 010123 tab 123123 that's January to December 2023 run it to refresh it tab into the right closing the hand boogie ranging to the change in 010123 tab 123123 and run it to refresh it let's go back on over to the balance sheet this is where our point of focus has been and we talked last time about the components of the balance sheet the comparison between the balance sheet and the income statement between our two major reports and we talked about some of the formatting items the formatting and customized items that are in this gray area up top as well as this header section here first a word from our sponsor yeah actually we're sponsoring ourselves on this one because apparently the merchandisers they don't want to be seen with us but but that's okay whatever because our merchandise is is better than their stupid stuff anyways like our trust me i'm an accountant product line yeah it's paramount that you let people know that you're an accountant because apparently we're among the only ones equipped with the number crunching skills to answer society's current deep complex and nuanced questions if you would like a commercial free experience consider subscribing to our website at accounting instruction dot com or accounting instruction dot think of it dot com now we want to go into the customized settings further into these customized settings some of the information in here will be duplicated and i think the idea from quickbooks is they had they're kind of not knowing which how much stuff they want within the customize and how much stuff they want in this ribbon area so some of it is basically duplicated they might change it over time that's why we update the course from time to time so that we have the up-to-date locations of all these little functions but typically the functions will remain the same they might just change exactly the like the formatting and where they are located so let's go into the customization up top we have the customization categories if i close all of the triangles we've got the general we've got the rows and columns we've got the filters we got the headers and footers let's start off with the top one the general information so we have the periods note that this period information is the exact same thing that we saw over here in a prior presentation therefore most likely you're going to be going into that stuff on this side and not going into the customized reports to get there and then we got the accounting method once again that was something that was over here as well so you have that toggle that they put over here now with the accounting method i'm recommending remember to use the accrual method i went into a big long rant on it last time as to why that's the case so if you have if you're thinking i want to click over to the cash method over here just go into my rant before and and then think about it and see if that is the thing you want to do in the prior presentation but in any case we're then going to the number formatting so this is new stuff we've got the divide by 1000 without sense uh accept zero amounts uh negative numbers and show in red so let's go through these one at a time we're going to say first divide by 1000 now most of the time small reports or companies might not do this but if you have a large numbers then dividing by 1000 is a way to take off some zeros to round basically so if we click that one off we're going to say boom and then it rounds it out to the thousand so if i go in to my trusty calculator here and we were to say that we had 1.2 times 1000 that's where that's the amount here so if i go back up top again and we say i'm going to go back up top to my customization and then if i bring it back off we were at the 1201 right so it rounds it to the thousands now if i take if i do that here and i say divide by 1000 and we want to have the without sense then it's going to take off the decimal so now it takes off the decimal that wasn't really sense here that was the rounded that was the rounded amount here right so you probably you probably possibly want the decimal maybe if you're rounding there but that those are the rounding one now if i bring it back to where we were here's where we were and now i have the pennies here so what if i want to round it to the pennies i just want to take off the pennies i'm not going to divide by a thousand just want to take off the pennies well that's the sense so we don't want sense we want the report to make sense but not have pennies that's what we're talking about so that's a little bit cleaner obviously the question would be is is the financial statement reports are they still uh when you take off or round certain items do you have what you need for decision making purposes usually for external reporting taking off the pennies is fine for the internal reports i like to have the pennies on there because i want to see the exact numbers when i do my data input information so i would usually take off the pennies for external reporting possibly divide if i'm looking with working with large numbers then we have the accept zero amount this is checked off by default and that's probably the way that we want to keep it let's run the report just to see what that is doing if i go down here for example to this truck account you can see it has a parent subsidiary account relationship let's go back to the first half just to get an idea of what that means if i go into the transactions and then go into my chart of accounts when we set up our accounts we could set them up so that we have a parent type of account and then put other accounts below it so we have this subsidiary relationship that's what's creating that particular drop down when we do that oftentimes we don't want to actually post anything to this truck account but instead just use it to give us the drop down and then post to the accounts below it so you can see that nothing over here is posted to the truck account and it didn't put a zero which is nice because the zero would be a little bit messy right so instead it has the drop down and here's the amount here and then it gives us the total below also down below in retained earnings you can see nothing's in retained earnings but it still keeps retained earnings because that's like a permanent account and it doesn't put as it didn't put a zero there if i go back up top and customize it and then uncheck that one you can see that in this subsidiary truck account there it puts the zero which is a little bit ugly right it's not as nice and then it puts it here now if you want to remove the zeros that don't have anything in there remember that was here where you can say i want to have uh not active accounts that had activity in them but non-zero accounts so that'll remove all the accounts that have zeros in them so so usually if you want to remove the zeros you'll do this and usually by default you'll just keep this one checked off and just don't mess with that one typically so then let's go to the next one we're gonna say rows and columns so we have the totals uh the days uh the months and this is all stuff that we saw over here same exact drop down that we had over here just repeated show non-zero amounts this is the same exact drop down that i just showed you over here so once again you probably will not go into the rows and columns section because you could do that right at the header of or the ribbon it might be called of uh the report let's go into the filters filters is a really important area depending on the reports that we go into oftentimes you're not going to filter say a balance sheet report but you will often use a filter for like a transaction detail report so let's do one of the let's go into like the checking account and you can see this time they're giving us the new report settings so this has the fancy new settings in it so if you filtered this way it it's right here this is where the filtering option is in this one and then oftentimes if i hit the drop down we oh wait a sec we'll keep that one there because this is already filtering we'll add another filter and then if i hit the drop down we often want to filter by transaction type as we saw before equals and then maybe i want to just take a look at like the deposits right and then i can i can filter and just see those we can add another filter if i add another filter that will then reduce it down it's not going to show like i can't add another one and give me deposits and expenses instead if you want deposits and expenses or deposits and something else you can check two of these off as well let's say deposits and uh what a cash expense or something then i have two of them checked off so now i should be able to see both of those items lined up over here now if you go to the classic view i'm going to switch to the classics view now you have the setup that we saw before and so here's our information in the classic view and then up top we can customize the reports and now you've got your filtering options here and this drop down type of setting so this one's already checked off as the checking account once again we could filter by the transaction type for example and then possibly choose one or multiple of these items here's a check and then we could choose a uh a deposit so we have two of them checked off and we could say run it and so now we've got the the transaction types so it's still up in the air as to whether uh QuickBooks is going to run with you would think uh soon they're going to run with uh the modern view which i think they probably will because it does look kind of nice i think it works pretty well out but they still have the classic view on some of the reports including the balance sheet report so we'll see how that we'll see how that plays out you know and if once they finalize it we'll we'll update the course again at some point and uh and we'll we'll see what they did so they're ab testing that particular feature right now it appears so that's going to be the filtering uh and then we have the headers and footers so in the headers and footers we've got the company name we've got the report title and those are the items up top so we saw that you could remove like we could just remove them here and say okay now we don't have a company name and report title if i oh hold on a sec run it if i customize it put those back in we could change the name but we could always we could already do that over here so if i went in here and i changed the name i can do that in here i'm not sure you can delete it in here maybe you can delete the whole yeah you can you can even delete the whole thing in here so you really don't need to go up to that customized area to get to get to that because you can already do it like on the face here so uh just note that it's probably the faster way to do it uh i'd like to return the title now i'll just say company name company name and uh and report balance sheet okay and then the period the report periods let's run that again and then let let me just show you the page layout and so here's the layout of the report and if i scroll down you can see that at the at the footer it's got a cruel basis and then the date and the time you might not want all that stuff on the footer you can't see it unless you go to the print but when you print it it'll show when you printed it well actually you can't see it here it's on the footer there so what if i want to remove that i want it out i want that out of here get that out of here so report period uh we'll say take that off now hold on the report period took off this uh date on the on the top let me show you that again the report period is and i was going to go to these three that take off the footer the report period takes off this one i don't even think you were able to do that before because i i i believe at some point we couldn't actually take so that's kind of nice that's actually works well because when you run like a report like if i if i run this report let's put it back on and just show you when you might want to use that if i if i ran this report and i said it i want it quarter by quarter then this it says as of december 31st but it's not really as of december 31st anymore because you have it's as of each of these four quarters right so so in that case you might want to remove this and then rely on these or and rely on these as basically your dates in a essence it would be nice if you can edit that still but at least you can remove it that's nice and then the footers we can remove the footers down here date time report basis and i can say boom and then down here footer gone if i was to print this thing then no footer they can't tell when you printed it i've got the date up top you don't need to know when i printed it you don't need to know the basis because we are it's sort of cruel they you know so we'll take that off and then we can go into the alignment this is just the alignment of the header so it's we can go left align and the footer we can left align it and then let's say that we want let's put the footer back in there so we can check it out so now it's on the left footers on the left and then if i go boom and say we want it to be centered that's what it was before if i want to put it on the right put it on the right now it's on the right we're doing a a dosy do turn to the left turn to the right and then back to the center back to the center and there we have it so note uh pretty pretty uh nice options overall if you're used to the desktop version uh some things that you might notice is the desktop version has some more options for the font formatting of the font and it had some options for like increase in the size of the text and that kind of stuff which they haven't done with the online version i'm not sure exactly why maybe i think maybe it's because if you really wanted to dig into that stuff you could you can connect this with uh with excel and you can export it to excel pretty easily and then go crazy with formatting on fonts and what stuff if you wanted to although it takes more time to do that because those kind of changes you would have to do uh every time uh the size of the font we can't change uh as easily and here which which i maybe already said that but you could on the desktop but you can zoom in for the view so that's nice and again if uh later on we'll talk about exporting to excel which also gives you a wider expansive options has its pros and cons so we'll look at that maybe not next time but we'll look at that at some point
