recent was the Bank of Idaho Contest where we had a great deal of success not only with our first place finishers but with the 73 students who displayed art at that
competition. That was a fantastic representation of Mr. Mortimer and our art department. He turned the time to Mr. Mortimer to introduce the students and show their art
work, Mr. Mortimer stated that students can only enter one piece and these students are extremely talented. A lot of exchange students come here and do extremely well.

Bonneville High School wrestling team competed in state tournament. They represented very well. They came home with the third place trophy. They qualified 20 athletes to
compete in the state tournament and six of those athletes competed for state championship. That was a school record. He introduced Coach Wadsworth and turned the
time over to recognize his state champion wrestlers. Coach Wadsworth stated that they qualified almost 50% to of the students who came out to go to state tournament. We
were district champions for the second year in a row. That is a result of the hard work of the parents, community and the kids and their dedication to the sport of wrestling.
He is grateful for the program and the opportunity to coach and teach at Bonneville High School, Tonight we have two individuals that have mastered their weight class at
the state tournament. These students are leaders on and off the mat. They are a huge asset to the program. Justin is a senior who has been a stepping stone to what we
have been able to accomplish the last couple of years and Jared is a sophomore and we look forward to him doing a lot more great things in the future. He is grateful for
what they have been able to accomplish as well as the whole wrestling program.

VII. Public Input
Policy #1550 Public Input will provide an opportunity for any Board Member, administrator, staff member, student, or patron to raise issues of interest, The Board will
receive such input without comment, except to ask germane questions of those speaking. Comments should be limited to three (3) minutes. The Board will take no action
relative to any items during the meeting, but may direct the Superintendent to consider such an item at a subsequent meeting
Chairperson Winchester asked if there would be anyone who would like to speak to the Board during Public Input. She asked those who would like to participate to state
their name and address for the record.
Brian StUtzman: 6655 East Lincoln Road He state that he is not here for a victory lap but to reach out to solve the needs of our children. He was part of the vote no group.
They got 57% of the vote and stated that because Mrs. Winchester thanked those who voted for the bond he requested that we have a level playing field. He has an
attorney general's opinion from the state of Idaho that states "If public resources or public funds are used in any way related to a ballot issue, there must be equal access to
the funds or resources on the part of both opponents and proponents of a ballot measure." His group is here to help not to be in the way. He is sorry to say that his
leadership group has never experienced more bullying in their combined lives then they saw in the last two weeks. Bullying shouldn't be in our school or our community. He
has a long list of concerns but will speak to only two or three. His group requested permission to hand out their graphs at public meetings but were denied. They requested
to have their website addressed and shared in the interest of balance and fairness and were denied. They perceived that they were bullied and that is unfair. His message is
simple: stop the bullying. They should have had equal access to pass out their literature and were denied everywhere. The District website didn't reference his group's
website. As we go forward, he believes Jeff Bird's view and vote represents 56% of voters. Mr. Bird should be the one that the Board and administration should take the
lead from if they want the voters to go ahead and support what you guys want or need, Mr. Sturtzman's group's executive committee voted today to support and work with
you guys. They want you guys to do your job and come up with a second solution. Then we will come In and give you some advice. They want to solve this problem and
don't want to get in the way. But his group was in tune and have heard all along what the voters wanted. They didn't want to be 113 of a billion dollars in debt. That is what
this bond would have pushed along with the existing debt. That would have been over $300 million in debt. They didn't want that. They think there are cheaper solutions. He
stated that they will see what You come LIP With next. They are willing to Put inmtime and work and they have lots oftime and ideas that will work, He then left the meeting
to attend a ball game.
GandeoYvlmmc7438 South Am non Road: She is hereon behalf ofHUlcred ballroom and just wanted b thank the Board for their support uf the program and allowing uo
to take these wonderful dancers to Los Angeles during spring break to have this educational fun time.
John Ferrin 400 Bobilink: He has seen the trend in different high schools. There are some beautiful schools in this area. Rigby High school is a huge, amazing school and it
is a complete waste of money. It doesn't matter what it looks like on the outside. It matters what is on the inside to educate. He stated that you have decided that students
are number one. He believes that. In his household his finances are number one. He won't pass debt on to his children, Find something that can educate and not pass debt
onm his children for years. |/io just way too long,
Jacob Hancock Loma Avenue: Wants to thank the Board for their hard work and everything they put into this bond. Hedid vote no. Hn came to the meetings and was on
the line which way fie wanted wgo. It came down to the fact that he has a different opinion of needs and wants. He Would like to see a 20 year or less bond. He hopes we
can get o bond tip for vote again quickly. He understands that xm can Vu that inMay. Mm. McConnell stated that we cannot dn that in May. His hope is that me can vote un
u bond that will align more m what Our needs and wants are and uem shorter bond.
Heidi Roth 3400 Sparrowhawk: Has been talking through Facebook since the bond election. It seems that the biggest concern is that people wanted to vote for a high
school. They wanted to vote for the actual building. They wanted to see the drawings and wanted to know their money Wouldn't be wasted, She knows that no one wants to
draw up the plans until we know we have the bond, It is a Catch 22. We may have to pay an architect to draw up a rendition of the proposed building. Wn need to have a
sense that the community ia buying m high school, Ne didn't have that feeling with this bond. We had the sense that wm were giving a whole bunch of money w the school
board, She still thinks building a high school is a good idea, She doesn't know what the vote no people have in mind but she is very wary about having them represent her,
She |unot sure that everybody who kd no would want the vote nngroup to represent them. People want m see i\ and feel i\ and want to see where $51 million iogoing.
The last high school was built with a $10,800,000 bond that also built an elementary school and improved an elementary » oiBvwmontho$1Omi|ivnthoidiUo||that
and $51 million for the high school, we need to see and understand the difference. She thinks that ioa lot n| the reason that this didn't work out oo well and hopes wncar)
improve on that going forward, Chairperson Winchester asked if she was referencing building Hillcrest, That is correct. People said that they don't want another Hi||cmm.
Hillcrest, an elementary, and rebuilt an elementary was done for Linder $11 million, They wanted to see the building before they voted for it. Obviously we don't want another
$1U million high school, They don't want the crowded hallways but they want w know what they are getting,
Randy Trane Windriver Drive: He voted tie on the bond. He appreciates all the people on the school board for their opinions. We as people who voted no want to make this
work, 0e are not fighting this bond just fighting m turn i\down. We love the children and want them m have aneducation, We appreciate your help. Ho feels that a|ntv/
people who voted ovdidn't feel like there was enough information. He understands the situation that you have to have money todn the Studies. You need m get all options
on the table. Building a high school is an option, But, is that the only option? The people who voted no, and we had a lot of people that did, 3578 people, and they have
friends. So that ioonoption. What wo hate m see iu what ho found out today that a teacher at I fificrest High School told him that someone told tier that if we don't get this
bond passed there will be split sessions in three years. That is probably the last thing those who voted no as well as the yes people want, If that in all they hear that iohard
for kids m hear. There are other options. What we are asking is for you to come up with other options and put those on the table. Then the public can help make a decision
of what decision is best for the kids. That in all wo are asking for. It seems unfair to be throwing one option Out that probably no one really wants, If that is all the kids and
teachers are hearing, that doesn't seem fair. |/i, not benefiting anybody. Wn need W put everything out. You guys come upwith the decision ofwhat the options are and let
the public help You. The public wants to make this work. We are not against schools, teachers, or kids. We need education for our kids, We need facilities, We are for that,
But we need to see what is Out there and what is available. It is not limited to one or two little options. Please get some options out there where people can make good
decisions. Ne can work this out noi| will hoboovficia| for the kids. Mm. McConnell stated that split sessions are not the only option, When we sent out the survey, wn
looked at options and we will continue to look at options. No one believes that we are going to split sessions next year, We are not necessarily pushing in that direction. We
want the best for our children and will look at lots of different options before we make those decisions and go in any direction, As we ran the election, we worked closely with
our attorney N get legal opinions usxm moved ahead.
Jason Butikoffer 1235 Sherry: He is a counselor at Woodland Hills: Wants the school board know that he appreciates the work that has been done, People don't see the
flexibility the board has, Originally You wanted to build another elementary school. But when the idea was brought LIP to add on to Iona and Woodland MU|pmnav*ahu^rx
of money, he appreciates that. He doesn't know if people understood that YOU were looking at adding 16 classrooms for less than $3 million rather than 20 classrooms for
over $12 million. Hnappreciates the savings ao well aa the dedication you guys are putting in and looking et those options even though people don't often see nha\yo"
guys are doing behind the scenes to try to Cut and be fiscally responsible. He just wants to let the board know that xo appreciates that,
Renee Cook 2m9 North Barnes in Iona: The last she heard the vote isover. Why do people keep talking about it so much like it is still happening? The decision has been
made, She trusts that the board will take opinions into account and come LIP with another bond, A lot of people are pushing for it to happen in August Personally she
doesn't see how i| could happen in August considering a lot o/ people are out of town and schools aren't even in session. U took o\least four years m come tip with this
bond. She doesn't think it will take another four years but she wants to encourage people to come to work sessions. It is good to get LIP and complain at the end of
process, but if You don't see the beginning of the process you really have no room to complain. She respects your no vote. But she will not be fine with patrons not coming
w work sessions. She wants m thank the board for their time. She also wants m thank oo many people for voting,

A. Marketino and Events Pmoosa Fred Armstrong
Chairperson Winchester asked Mr. Armstrong w present his Marketing and Events Proposal m the Board. Mr, Armstrong stated that all ho has heard is people talking about
the kids and hom everybody wants to do what is good for them in the school system. He deals with this ean football coach and understands how K works when h comes to
the sports Clubs and the other clubs, He understands how revenue needs to be driven through the gates at Thunder to help all the Clubs. He found out today that the
basketball team had ten home games and ended upwith $108 from working concessions. He believes there is a better way. He came Lip with this idea, He wants to make
sure there is no pay to play in a couple of years or at least to bring the amount down, He is concerned that if a student plays three sports, itiv$3U0. How about mm find o
way m make pay m play $uO? How about being able to use the buses from Our district and not have to go outside to get a cheaper bus? The current system is based on a
long system that has been going on in a lot of schools, If you are going to create revenue, you need to think of it more as a business. It is difficult in an educational setting.
He is about vocational so for him it is very easy to think in that way. This year, our football team played on ESPN. It was a nationally televised game with a lot people
watching the game. There were people that said we couldn't do that but, we did. He has thought about how we can do something better. He is tired of the haves having it
and the have riot's not having it. There are kids who don't have money to participate in extracurricular activities.
The basis for this in flow can we8n outside into the marketplace m tap into what io available, He has worked io marketing and events over 1v years. He understands how it
works. He has had time over the last 3 years to understand how our Community works. What we have and what we don't have. He went through a PowerPoint, We have
real-estate in the district. He just wants the board to know that from his football and marketing experience, he has based everything on Bonneville football. He wants to get
this to happen throughout both high schools, We have spectators, a beautiful stadium at Bonneville, and a beautiful theater at Hillcrest. We have fourgyms, two theaters,
one football stadium, two baseball stadiums, a whole lot of land, and most important our brands, At the high school level, we have five different bees and three or four
different knights. His principal asked him if he had thought about the people who went to the school with the logo and loved that logo. You don't think about it. Everyone is
trying to express themselves in both schools with every brand but those, Wanted to give an example of how we Gould use our stadium, The biggest event we have is the
civil war. It draws the most money for both schools. With the civil war and concessions we make about $20,000 and that is split between the two schools. He talked about
the Bonneville vs. Valor Christian football game where Florida Georgia Line Would come into our place at 6:00 p.m. prior to the football game, His idea is to bring family
entertainment in that YOU would go out of state to pay for and keep our dollars here, We have all this land. We have fun things to do. We just need to come up with them,
This is all about the sports and the clubs. These should come first because it is about the kids. So looking at 5,000 people and adding $10 per person to eat or drink
something, the possible total is about $175,000. Then taking away set-up, promoters fee, and artist transportation, lodging, and performance fee, we make $70,000. Ifyou
do this before the civil war, each school would be looking at about $30,000. Through the event the clubs are working learning how to put up and take down a stage or
maybe working with the vendors. He will guarantee they won't see a $108 for their club.
The concept is trying to have D93 Concert and Entertainment Series in May, June, July, and August and providing quality family i job opportunities for Our
youth, creating a better relationship with the Our local businesses, and generate revenue for the district and its future projects. K-Mart and Walmart have made a lot of
money off of our brands over the last seven years. Kids will buy it there instead of at the school because it is less money. There is a company call the cotton gallery that
produces and sells these things and we don't get anything. They state that a portion of the proceeds should directly benefit your school. We aren't seeing any of this motley
at the schools, If these things are corrected and we have Our own brands for Our own district, and we are buying from one supplier for our district Our prices go down. Gym
class should be uniformed, He understands that he can't do this by himself. We need a steering group in the business community to work with to put the numbers and
events together. Then they are presented and we can move forward. He has spent a lot of time trying to get motley for football advertising and has met a lot of good
business people in our town. A lot of businesses like Walmart have given contact to the corporate offices that are willing to speak with you, We have over 11,000 students
in our district and we have a lot of buying power in our district. If we stick together as a district we will make things cheaper for the kids. Pay to play puts a coach in a bad
position. If a parent gives You $100 then you should feel obligated to play their kid. Coaches don't want to have that behind them. Equipment is expensive, Kids are
required to fundraise and use the education foundation. Parents are supportive. We share a football field that we haven't done anything with yet. That could generate money
for Our kids. We have brought the NFL here and they provided free camps for the kids, His football group has tried different things to work with the Community, If he says he
will do something, he will deliver it. He won't say something he can't do. With the right help and a good steering committee, we can work together for the whole district we
will be able to accomplish a lot. We will probably get even more ideas front outside, This is just a sketch but with outside influence and people working together, we will be
able to accomplish something good.
Chairperson Winchester asked if there were any questions from the Board. Mr. Bird asked if we call copyright the brands and make it so the chain stores cannot sell the t-
shirts, etc. The first thing we would have to do is copyright the brands. Then we would get money from Walmart instead them taking the money. Maybe we could talk to the
arts counsel and get some support, She thanked Coach Armstrong for the presentation and moved to proposed policy for initial consideration.
Pronosed Policv for Initial Consideration - Marjean McConnell
1. 3500 Treats at School
a. S020 Criminal M istory-Backg round Checks

Chairperson Winchester asked Mrs. McConnell to present the proposed policy and procedure for initial consideration. Mrs, McConnell stated that the Board is receiving four
policies and one procedure for initial consideration. During next month's meeting, they will be resubmitted for their first reading and to be placed online for 30-day review,
5021 was part of 5020. We pulled that out to a separate policy so it could more easily be accessed. She asked to Board to consider these in initial consideration,
Chairperson Winchester asked if the Board had any questions for Mrs. McConnell. Mr, McBride asked if 3500 is a new Policy. It is new. We have a concern with many
children having severe allergies that we need to know exactly what the ingredients are in treats that come in. It is hard to monitor this with home baked treats so we can
protect and be careful with regard to children's allergies. She asked if there were any other questions from the board. Hearing none, she thanked Mrs. McConnell and
asked if any Board Member would like to add any agenda items to an upcoming meeting, There were no requests for agenda items.
