So, Mr. Huff and I kind of um I don't know joined forces hap haphazardly. He helped me learn my laser engraver and then we started kind of geeking out over the fact that we see a huge connection between tech and math and the arts and that that's sort of um in the in the real world that's where it all kind of comes together. So this whole year we've been spending a lot of our collaboration time together talking about how we could merge our programs. We're really excited to kind of pilot this program and then as we launch into next year um Mr. Whitaker has really been supportive of us um collaborating our or combining our two sections to be the same class period so we can kind of merge this and and continue with it into the future. So I'm going to let um our students kind of well I think I guess we're next, right?
It gets the students very really excited for the sports. I just recently went to the baseball game today. They won against Dwight Mororrow. They're pretty good. Um and yeah, so as far as the um upper classman going out for lunch, it's been going pretty well. Um, I feel like I tend to usually see them go out more when it's like nice out and then when it's a little bit colder, they like to stay in. So, I guess I like that it's a balance. So, they're like when you go to school when it's cold, it's like you see everybody. You still get to talk to your peers and when it's nice out, they get to go out. So, it's kind of a good balance. Like it doesn't feel like so isolated and alone when it's like when you're in school. So, yeah. Excellent. Anything else? That's it.
Yes, we are. You're a you're a you're a top uh you're a top producer in uh this year's film festival. Um I would say I I was able to produce one of the most special people here in the school, Philip. And fortunately, I was able to produce his film by staying at night. And it was very fun to experience many things like I saw the windows being removed. That was kind of scary. Um, walking over the breezeway right between between north and central with no railings, no just wide open air, right? It was pretty wild. Yes. And Mr. McConey, was it hard to choose what films to put into the film festival? It is always difficult to choose the films that go in the film festival because there are so many really good ones and we only have two hours to fill. Well, truth be told, we're going over two hours this year because there were so many good films that I just had to put in.
And I also want to highlight our librarian here at Hamilton. Um I know you guys were in there and you saw how amazing the library looks. If you know the effort she puts into that physical space is nothing compared to what she puts into the kids. Um you know we recently started Hamilton Helpers here and fourth and fifth graders can apply for jobs and everybody was fighting over her and Randy Rob. You know those were the people that they wanted to work with. Um she's jumped in this year. She's filled in an additional specials block for our students and teachers. took on computer science. So, I mean, she's just one in a million. Um, next week she brings the Book Blast program back to Hamilton. Uh, and that allows every single student in the building to get at least one new book. So, we'll we'll send that out and, um, hopefully, you know, people in the community will see that and we'll make donations to that program so that all of our kids can get new books.
No matter what the situation is, whatever the circumstances are, I'm always going to bet on our kids. Absolutely, Mr. Tinario. Oh, thank you. Um, again, the band thing hope that's great that it's going to raise some money for our programs and hopefully our kids will be will they be involved at all? Anything um learning from them or being involved? That's great that the kids will actually get a to perform to so the money donation and and the experience is great. Thank you for putting that together. Um, and the other thing about uh Mr. Vanderlin, 42 years on the board, I hope that any of you board members have let that sink in. I was five years old when he got on the board. I wasn't born. I know. I know. And I was very proud to serve probably about the last eight years that Jim was on the board.
It's definitely going to be a harder fight. I think we're ready for it. I think we can do it. The pressure is on. Winner goes to state to face big bad Hobart with their PR player. Mhm. which it's like they've gotten better, but obviously since time has passed, you guys have also obviously gotten better in set time. I don't even Yes. I don't even know if they can really hear you. I just realized that cuz I am kind of far away from the mics. But you also Yeah. I don't Can y'all hear them? Uh if not, I I got a suggestion. Okay. All righty. So, I see the boy. I see the bird boy. I see you. Oh, you see your greatest fan. All right. That's not the new. Is that like your stalker with the ears? No, it's my it's my good friend. We watch Ruby together a lot.
I get a motion and second to approve our HR report. Second. Got a motion and second to approve our HR part. All those in favor say I. Any oppose. All right. Motion passes. We'll say a couple things. All right. First of all, um for Joe Glass or we're done. Um, no, no. Uh, Jill Glasco, first of all, I just want to thank her. Um, she's, uh, been a great team member. Um, I know a nice principal there, too. Great teacher. Um, and I know, uh, she's looking forward to retirement, but also just, uh, know that we'll miss her. Uh, and she will she will be greatly missed. And so, we thank her for all of her dedicated service over the past several years. So, great person, great teacher, and we thank her for all that she's done. And also, I just like to I'm not leaving right now, but uh Dr.
A maximum repayment term not to exceed 20 years per bond issuance. The current estimated interest expense is $18,9,000 and that is based upon a 5% interest rate. The maximum interest rate that you will see within your resolution is 6%. The maximum annual payment you will see is $5,395,000. The 2025 debt service tax rate today is 36.22 and the 2025 debt service levy which is the dollar request from Madison Consolidated Schools is $4,644,000. And today, assuming uh that there is no change in assessed value from pay 25 to pay 26, we would estimate that this would not have an increase to the debt service tax rate. And moving forward, we would not anticipate an increase over this debt service levy amount of $4,644,000. The final two rows are uh debt ratios also required to be provided within your resolutions. the current and proposed annual debt service by the divided by the most recent net assessed value of 0.41% and the direct and overlapping debt of the school corporation divided by net AV which is 6.68%.
Bonnie, I'm going to give you a 10-second because you're already about a minute over. This is the last paragraph. Ashlin has worked hard to meet the demands of the housing shortage and to protect the new people coming into town. We all need to work together for the benefit of everyone. Right now, it feels like too much too fast and inconsiderate of the needs of Ashland. Hi. Sorry to follow that one. I should have gone with Steve. Um, so, uh, Jen, on behalf of the community development team on the second floor of Ashlin Town Hall, uh, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all that you have done, for the time, sweat, tears, everything that you have given us. You've been a fearless leader. We've learned so much from you. We will take all of it and keep it with us and we will hopefully make you proud.
So go ahead. Uh I'm Stephen Hub since I haven't actually introduced myself just yet. It's okay. Uh so uh as Lauren said, we kind of just haphazardly got merged together. didn't really know who she was. Uh just knew she was the art teacher. Uh and then we started having, you know, conversations about the computer science and the arts and how they could potentially play together. Uh and so the motivation for this is basically centered around video game design and students tend to like video games and play them at school when you know they have free time only, not during lessons or anything as such. Uh, and so and most video games that they play are pretty simple. They are like sidescroller types and things like that. And so we kind of had this thought that it would be nice to elevate them from being just simply squares or rectangles and circles to being like actually animated and having some like, you know, texture to them to make them a little easier to look at, more fun to play, that kind of thing.
Thank you. What time is the pep rally? Uh, the pep rally is usually 2:00 p.m. Yeah, it's usually uh at the end of the 7th to last tomorrow. 2 p.m. in the gym. Um, no. Outside of the field? Yes. May I attend? Yeah, of course. All right. 2 p.m. You're going to Clemson. What's the nickname nickname of their football stadium? What's it called? Death Valley. All right. Great place. You guys coming for a game.
I just couldn't say no. And u I think people know that about me. It's hard for me to say no. We heard you included two more films, right? Yes. Actually, three. Now we're up to 18 films tonight. And uh we're going to be we're going to be having a fun. Which films were added? Um I don't remember which ones were added at the, you know, at the last minute. I think I just kept saying, "Yes, I like this one. Let's put this one in. That's this one." And when I had my original total, it was 15 films. And then all of a sudden, I looked at my whole list and I'm like, "Oh, wow. It's 17 and then I'm like, "Oh, but wait, it's 18." So, yeah, 18 films in the film festival and I'm really excited. I'm excited to watch every single one of them.
Um, you know, as always, thank you guys. Thank you guys for trusting Kim and I when we come up with these these new ideas and say we want to kind of revamp things. We really do talk all the time how fortunate we are to be trusted as much as we are. So, thank you. Thank you, Mrs. Havens. I really appreciate that update to the good things that are going on at Hamilton School. Congratulations. Congratulations. Our students that are here this evening for the math poll coming in second is outstanding in the district and in the area, the region. So, we're very proud of you. For those students that could not be here this evening to get the duly recognition that they deserve, we want to congratulate you and also remind you that even though you're not here this evening, you are a very important part of the team.
Um he was just a great man and he really did put a lot of time and effort. So family does to Lake Station schools. And uh Jim, I'm going to miss you very much. That's all I have. Thank you, sir. Uh piggyback kind of off everybody else as well. Thank you everybody listening and here uh the donations. Thank you very much for all those. Uh, thank you for your hard work you're putting into the band program and getting it going in a good direction. Um, to Mr. Vanderolin's family. U, my thoughts and prayers go out to you. Was one of the greatest men I've ever met and uh, he made you smile every time you see him. So, so my prayers go out to you. Dr. Liver, do you have anything? I do. I have a couple of announcements this evening. Uh Lake Station Community Schools has partnered with the Lake County Health Department to offer a vaccination clinic here at Edison in this room, the community room.
You know about Ruby? What you know about Ruby? I have I have seen the first few episodes of Ruby. Oh, you know about Ruby? I do know about Ruby with a W. Yes. I I don't. That show is a show. Look up Ruby. Spelled R WB Y. Yeah, it is a show. It is a show. Oh, it's it's decent. Like I haven't I haven't finished it, but I've gotten me and Bird Boy have gotten like a couple of episodes into season five by this point. We're losing our minds. Oh wow, that's insane. Wow. Hopefully you have the correct mindset for this game. Hopefully. Yeah, I haven't I haven't lost enough of my mind to, you know, get dropped off. Well, that's good. That's good. We don't want you going insane like minutes before the match cuz mindset is actually very important. All right. I'm I'm outing the uh Oh, show show your good luck charms.
I just want to congratulate him. Um I think it's a great choice that the board made. Um I appreciate all the things you've done to get to this point and uh he'll do a great job and been very very fortunate to be able to work with him for the last nine years. Um it's been very very good. So congratulations Dr. C. Yeah, I will agree just Mrs. glass cop. She was there when we were there. That's a long time. Both my kids are all my kids. She's just going to be one that hard to replace. So, and definitely Chris family. Thanks for loaning him for the next however many years. Long time. Yep. It'll take some time away from home. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, he's got a long time with us. He's young. We hope. All right. Um, guess we'll move on. Heartland Roof Center. Yeah, I sent you guys a for an email to you.
And here on our final slide you will see the proposed repayment term of this $28 million bond issuance. If the bonds are issued in 2025, you will see that it will first hit the tax roles in 2026 and then again you will see that the term not to exceed 20 years is 2044. This is represented in those blue bars and you can see that in 2026 and seven and eight those payments are not anticipated to increase above the levels in 2025 and there are step downs in the future in 29 and 32. Uh that would provide some flexibility to the school corporation in the future to potentially replace these payments. Again, this concludes my portion of the presentation.
So, good luck in your next adventure. We'll miss you. Jen, on behalf of all of the members of the Ashland Police Department, particularly in our new home, which you were the driving force to get us there from beginning, I only came in in the middle, but to the end, um, we can't thank you enough. Personally, I'm going to feel the loss a lot. I really enjoyed every minute of working with you. Um you're a team player from minute one. Um it's going to be a huge loss, but we're so happy all of us um for you and your future and for your family and um best of luck. Thank you. [Applause] Okay. Uh ahead Roger Shri. Hi. Thank you. Actually, you know what, Roger? Hold on for two minutes. We have a public hearing that we need to unop I mean reopen and then close again.
Um, now the relevance to this is just that the video game industry is like kind of just it's booming currently. It's projected to uh I think double its revenue by 2027 which is like in the hundreds of billions of dollars. Uh and the other aspect of it is that it gets students working together and talking to each other obvious and obviously we want that since most of the working world now is collaborative in effort. you have a a main focus and then but you have to put main focuses together to create your final projects or your final pieces. Uh and so then the uh future goals of this is that I was a part of another person and I were awarded the Golden State Golden State grant or something pathways pathways. Uh, so I'm a math teacher by trade, so I'm not really super savvy with the CTE world and like receiving money to do stuff that's like extra cool at school.
Any questions for Valentina? Good luck. All right. Congratulations. So, what will you be majoring in? Um, business, hopefully marketing. Very nice. Okay. Um, Lou, um, your report, please. Okay, Mr. Thank you very much. Um, we are starting to work on, believe it or not, year end in regard to surplus, where year ends are going to take us. Our auditors are getting set to start their early audit. That's always fun stuff. Um, there's three resolutions I'd like to take the board and the public to take a look at if I may. On page seven, resolution number 20, uh, Mr. Danho, he authored this, uh, for the right to know chemical hygiene plan with the chemical inventory list. This is just about every chemical we have in the building in the high school and throughout the school district. And Mr. Rodano and his team really do a great job uh with hazmat materials, stores materials, overviews to the county and to the state.
