Those product feedbacks were related to our literacy beliefs that our team last year during our reading review and research kind of came up with. And we also have aligned that to the Illinois literacy comprehension plan as well, comprehensive plan. Um, we also are bringing the decision for SLA. So it includes our dual language teams. So it's a K3 for this year's ne or next year's adoption and then we would do the additional fourth grade in the following year. The product is very similar to HMH's into reading. It's the Breila La Lectura product and so it really complements the SLA and ELA which are dual language teachers were asking for something similar to help participate in their PLC's with their teams as well as just having a similar scope and sequence that ski students are working on skill-wise. So awesome. She's done a really good job organizing the whole process and I think our teachers were happy with the change.

But if it's in good shape and, you know, hasn't had any maintenance issues, maybe we can delay that a couple years and try to try to buy some more time with it. At the end of it, you'll have a deliverable that is not just a a physical report that is uh going to be that snapshot in time of where you are today. U which has got all the great graphs and charts and funding and all that fun stuff in it and floor plans. Uh but really the most important part is the the the database that comes out of that with each one of the issues because that becomes the living document and the tool that you're going to use going forward over that course of that 10 years because things change, right? Things break, things become our more urgent priority and we got to pull push and pull that stuff to make the the funding work and understand what it needs to happen.

If you see a guidance counselor at the high school, thank them. Um, show your appreciation for them because they've already done some heavy lifting. And I think we'll continue to do that the next two, three, four years that we continue to evolve and meet what these new diploma requirements entail. Um, and and just know that our aim and focus will be to maximize our strengths. We have a ton of them, but also shore up the opportunities to to gain improvements and to and to fill in our gaps. I will tell you, I'm biased as the principal at Huntington North, but our high school may be positioned as well or better than any single high school in the state of Indiana as it relates to these new diploma requirements. And I say that because we meet all of the buckets in enrollment, employment, and enlistment. And we actually have for some time.

Move forward to slide six here just the chart of the existing and proposed bond issuances. And so here the gray bars represent the existing uh debt service. The blue bars represent the proposed payments and then here in the uh shaded area represents the estimated capitalized interest for this bond issue. Um, so this is typically not a payment out of debt service. This just shows you the amount which right now we're estimating about 1.2 million. Um, so really when looking at this beginning 2026, that small blue bar payment um, when the first year of payment starts, the school is targeting that 2025 debt service level of about 4.6 million and then through the life of this bond, which is through 2044, really targeting that total debt service um, amount and not increasing it based off today's estimates. So again, with the debt falling off and the school not selling to the fall position in a in a good position um to when it comes time for the bond sale, knowing what legislation looks like as well as what value looks like.

Um, first, you guys all know I'm a band nerd and it makes me really happy to see those requirements suggested in there. Um will if a student um were to participate in fine arts in middle school but but elect not to in high school, would those count toward those requirements in the same way that that uh you know taking um taking one of the other courses that they could at middle school, the computer proficiency for example, would that count toward our proposed requirements? It would depend on if it was a high school course or not. So currently I don't think we have any middle school classes that are actually high school courses in the fine arts area. So if we were to do that we have to bring that through curriculum advisory council and bring that back to the board. Fair. Thank you. Yes, Dr.

We've done we've created cooking classes for some of our life skills students and students on the spectrum so that we can bring those students in. Um, give them skills that they need as well as at the same time then we give our parents a break by doing a workshop for them. We had I think last month the workshop was um physical education for your students because you know they need to be physically fit too. So really doing a lot of that weekend and night work.

So, even if we don't move forward with this, I was going to ask if we could figure something out there to get those resurfaced because if you go walk on them, you can see where color is fading on the baseline where all the where you stand all the time, where you're moving most of the time, it's fading to where you can see through it to where what the colors were before. And do you remember last time it was reserved? I should have asked B before I came because he would know off the top of his head. I think it was when I was in high school.

When we first put them in that was a long time ago because I finished up that project.

They're very excited about the adoption. Are are we getting all the teachers and students all of the resources they need to implement this? Yeah, like books for a year. Yeah. Like that was one big ask of this process was that we had a comprehensive ELA program for our teachers. So this product will include foundational skills. It'll include decodable readers for our K2 students. It'll include um a literacy library for leveled readers for our K5 students. Um it has multiple workbooks where the students have the actual text in the book. They can annotate along with the text. So it's not just a read aloud and then they're going off and reading something different. So the students have really shared that a lot of positive feedbacks. They like just having that text in their hands. um they've been pretty excited and we've seen a lot of a lot of great initial changes with instruction as well.

We know the importance also was to uh hear the diverse voices in your community. Um we've had great success with uh different ways of bringing those folks to the table and making sure that they have a voice in this process. Um Kanel really the top three there Kelan really focused on the listening sessions, the open houses and the surveying in their last goound from up to their successful referendum. Um but there's multitude of ways we can uh make sure we touch those voices and bring them to the table. Um it's also important to go meet people on their own terms, meet them on their own geographies. Don't have everything at one location. Make sure that we're we're giving them a voice where they feel comfortable. So, we'll talk a little bit more in the uh long range planning process, but we know how important this is.

What is that? Is that that's running down? Yeah. Yeah, that's just the the old paint. That's what that is. Yeah, we have that pressure washed off.

Yeah, I'm sure the brick got pressure washed off again. Yeah. It won't be near as hard as it was last year because it's been years that it been sitting there.

Uh seven years ago, Huntington North High School adopted um the concept of true north, which is kind of a motto to think about preparing our students in those areas of the three E. If you walk around Huntington North, posters have been up for a while that show enrollment, enlistment, and employment. That focus started seven years ago. So that's not a new concept for us. things that we have done uh to help build that out and already position us well for these diploma requirements. You might remember the addition of our JOTC program that checks off the enlistment box for us under our own roof. We don't have to farm that out to another entity, another partner. We have autonomy of that underneath our high school roof. You'll know uh obviously as board members that we have an incredible CTE program under Principal Drummond and the learning center.
