And then where does geography fit in? Yep. Nap skills. Yeah. Yeah. Uh well, geograph, you know, things like geography, civics, and economics should be interwoven within the eighth grade US history class, the freshman world history class, and the sophomore US history class. But um your point about having that kind of like break in the middle is is a challenge. Um, and we've had curriculum conversations about that. In fact, um, I think the state guidelines, you know, kind of push you or steer you in the direction of doing it in the fashion that we do, which is, you know, world history freshman year. Um, but I definitely see see your point. Um, in some ways it is nice because so much of US history, particularly in the 20th century, is through a world lens after we rise and become a world power. So I find as a teacher of US history, it's nice, it's very helpful to have them take world history freshman year and they get a very kind of core knowledge of world affairs and world history that can then be um applied and built upon um when they're studying things like American foreign policy throughout the 20th century if they understand the world a little bit better.

And part of that is also making sure that their individual coding is correct. And you know, looking at this this big long I don't even know 16 or 17 digit number. Um each of the uh each of these numbers have a significance not only in just their location um and to what fund they're charged but also their uh job title and their responsibility. And what we're noticing is as we're going and moving these individuals in and out of alliance and today with IDA that some of the coding is incorrect. So we're also going to be correcting that at once. This way when we roll the system forward for the next year, we're not rolling forward mistakes. We're rolling forward the the corrected numbers. So I just wanted to bring that to your attention. Mike, can you hear me? Again here you see the benefits uh are are favorable.

Um, our students will speak to what they do at Sharing Connections. And then Project Cure is um a newer volunteer site that we have found. It's in Woodidge. It's a very large warehouse which we love because it's accessibly physic it's accessible physically for our students which is great. Um but the work that we do there is we are um assembling and taking apart medical packs that are being sent to countries who are war torn. Um and so our one of the jobs that our students does is they have to sort what has to be reststerilized, what can be used in local hospitals and then what can be put back on the boats to be sent over to the places that that are needed. And then students receive emails with where the shipments the the products that they were sorting and reststerilizing where they go in the world.

So, thank you for all your hard work. Um, but uh I guess kind of pairing off the last one, I know the district is expanding quite a bit. I have a um a six-year-old at Lily Lake right now and then obviously two more coming through the district. Um and I know that uh uh this district is expanding very quickly. Um and and room is becoming a problem. But uh with those expansions, I've seen, you know, referendums and you know, ideas for uh buildings and facilities. Um, you know, one thing that my wife and I noticed, uh, is all the other, or at least a lot of the other schools in our conference have, um, some activities that we don't have, such as, uh, tennis team, um, an orchestra. Um, I think those are two fairly plausible, and, you know, especially if we're going to be expanding a school district, you know, building a tennis court isn't as difficult as like a pool.

Good evening everyone. Good evening. My name is Megan Connley and I am the director of career connected learning and adult education. Uh the reason that I'm here tonight is to talk to you about the governor's work ethic certificate program. So this is a program at Brown County High School in which seniors and early graduate juniors, so any students graduating this year could participate as a way to demonstrate their work ethic. So, the governor's work ethic certificate program was founded by Governor Pence back in 2016 as a way to kind of set a common standard for what we believe a strong work ethic to be in our high school students here in Indiana. This was also an effort to connect high schools with local businesses. Um the standards for work ethic here were kind of created in conjunction with a team of high school educators and business representatives.

Um and we are going to see those uh changing u month monthtomonth with the reconciliation. I've got a question. Go ahead. We have our professional services and our property services. Um property services is slightly uh slightly favorable. um usually due to just the um budget uh repairs that are uh budgeted for but we haven't quite incurred yet. And um to jump back up to professional services, um when I say that we're adjusting the individual um salaries to be in the correct account, you may notice that there is um I can't highlight it, but this this line right here um that ends in uh that starts in 53. Those are um special education tutors. You'll see there's a favorable variance there. um that's partially offset because those people should be um budgeted for and charged out of salaries and for whatever reason when the system was introduced uh that wasn't the case.

So they really get kind of that that turnaround several months later because we all know it takes a while to ship things. Um so it's always a great treat when the kids can walk in and ask where is our stuff going today and they actually have an answer of where in the world it's going. So it's been really great. So Avette, do you want to come talk about meals? Hi guys. Hi. Um I'm your speaker. Yep. You're good. Yep. It's right there. At MIA, we al we speak up for seniors deliver um deliver not doors inside in saying graded. My favorite part about me on wheels is making the senior smile. Good.

Um, you know, we'd love to see a swim team because it's just a wonderful sport, you know, and uh and a wonderful team sport, but I understand the liability and and we don't really have a community center that we can parry off of and the finances behind that one's quite a bit bigger. but at least an orchestra and a a tennis team. You know, I I have all girls um and there's a lot of scholarship opportunities um that come from those sports and they're you know, easily inclusive for uh lots of individuals within the district even they don't go to you know compete collegiately or anything like that. But um you know just to keep that those two at least those two activities the orchestra and the tennis on the forefront um because it could even I think probably be addressed you know without an expansion on a on a high school or a middle school um you know they just build a tennis court which is easier said than done.

So this program takes place throughout the year. Um ours started back in October and it just wrapped up here in April. As I said, any graduating student could participate in this. Um all that they had to do was sign up and say I want to work towards this certificate. We started out with 12 students. We actually ended with eight students. Uh but in order to earn the certificate, they had to demonstrate their work ethic by meeting a certain number of competencies. So some of the things that they had to complete in order to show their work ethic were one, they had to demonstrate the qualities of our graduate profile. Um, and they had to receive a signature, a verification from three different teachers, staff members, uh, coaches, bosses, certifying that they had in fact met these competencies, that they do demonstrate work ethic, innovation, engagement within their community, strong communication skills, and social emotional wellness.

Um, and I we think it's really really exciting and really important that our students have that in-depth study of 1970s, 1980s, 1990s because that's, you know, it may not seem like that long ago to us in this room, but for our kids, that's, you know, might as well be the 1940s, you know, the 1970s.

Um and then also keep a swim team um you know on the on the forefront as well. There's a a lot of parents, at least in the neighborhood that we live in, that we'd love to volunteer to just get information for you guys and try and brainstorm ideas. I know everybody's very busy. I've sent I think it might have been two athletic directors ago, but I sent an email or two saying, "Hey, I'm here." Um, but I don't know if that's something that uh if there is a forum or a a way that some of us parents could get involved maybe researching pricing and locations and and finding some maybe alternative solutions to include those sports and activities for our children. That would be pretty awesome. So again, appreciate what you guys doing, but uh would just love to keep those um those on the forefront for everybody because I know in my district or my neighborhood, lots of parents want tennis, lots of parents want swim.

Additionally, they had to participate in a number of activities to prepare them for their post-secary lives such as creating a resume in which they included different school activities they participated in, work experience, relevant classes, and extracurricular activities that they participated in. They also had to create a post-secary plan that described what they plan to do on the Monday after graduation. So, do they want to go on to college? Do they want to go to trade school? Do they want to pursue a job? They also had describe things like what is their financial plan? You know, have they applied for any scholarships related to their postsecary plans? Where do they plan to live? How do they plan to get there? What does their transportation look like? Uh who are their supports in making this happen? What do they still need from Brown County High School in order to accomplish that?
