These weren't allegations, they were findings, and the state ordered corrective actions. Prior to this, the district cancelled an IEP meeting the family had waited nearly a month for in hopes to resolve the situation. When the family asked why accommodations weren't filed, they got I'm sorry, weren't followed, they got no response. It appears staff may have even been instructed to avoid the family choosing self-p protection over student support. This isn't just poor communication. It's a failure of truth, transparency, and accountability. And it's not isolated. It's part of a pattern. What's worse, public education dollars, including this family's own tax dollars, are now being used to fund lawyers fighting against them. Money meant to support students, is being used to shield the district from consequences of its own actions. And here's the larger truth. Too many families of students with disabilities are beat down by a system they don't fully understand.
Any discussion? Thank you. Doc, yes. Carol, yes. Vicki, yes. Amy, yes. Yes. Motion carries. I have the recommendation to approve the donation of $20,000 from the Brown County Health Department to assist Brown County schools in the purchase of baby sensors to be placed at Brown County High School and Brown County Middle School. Can I get a motion to accept? Absolutely. Second. Second.
Jordan over to Mckne. Mcknney back to Jordan. over to Whitwer and looks like they're going to play a little 2v2 with law. Yeah. O Mac Whitmer this shot Jordan there to pick it up in some much shooting space after Jordan picked the ball up. I'll go with that as Addie Jordan's on the eight meter for her first attempt as a eight meter. Jordan runs it in. She goes up, scoops it right. Well done, Addie Jordan. Right to the net now on the board. East goal number seven, Addie Jordan. So, we're now at twos with just under 11 minutes to go in the second quarter. As you can see, Steve, majority of the time it's whoever can win the draw. The This game is very, very keen on who can win the draw. Yep. Spartans have Marino on the draw. Looks like they have Anderson. [Music] Looks to me like we might have a redraw on that, Jeff.
So are you using the I already for remediation too? Like you're using the I Ready assessments, right? And then where the student falls, right? Can't they go in and review and guess the the assessments it it gives and the data it gives is is next level. I know we use all the time in sixth grade. In sixth grade, we use the diagnostic tells us where the student is, but then they get lessons assigned to them at their level and teachers are using it, students are using it. It's been really well received with teachers and students. the data gives teachers on prerequisite skills and things that certain certain students are going to struggle with or might struggle with like all the information gives is that that my path at um the algebra one level you will have some students that that will still be appropriate for but then there's also students who master all the the foundational skills out of my path and we're using other resources that we've used in the past so for students Yes, for students particularly those who are below grade level that resource is is there.
In in alliance this year um we had to go undergo a little bit different of a task than we've had to go through uh previously. we had to break down the budget by not only location but we had to include um folks names and their salaries and benefits that were associated. Um so we had a list of people that actually should have been charged there. Um and uh at first the first step of it was taking the people that were in the general fund and moving them to alliance if they were correct if they were budgeted there. And then the second part of that was u moving people from the alliance that should not have been there any longer back into the general fund. So you did see a temporary increase in general fund and then when we found that there were individuals also incorrectly charged to alliance that should have been a general fund um that that flip happened.
Any questions on the revenues, including state? Yes, sometimes with the state, they're behind on one payment of categoricals. Not all categoricals, just one. So, we're just a little short right now. Okay. Um otherwise, they've been keeping But you expect to catch up. Yes. Okay, on our expenditures, there's a few items I just want to point out. Um, this is just overall right here. This is all of our funds combined. But when we look at our individual funds, our education fund um is is is looking in the in the area of tuition, which is shown here on the combined funds. It's looking like we've almost expended everything we had budgeted and that's due to the fact that some of our expenses are a little bit higher this year for our outplay students. Um we've sent a few more students to our partner school in Addison and then our tutoring uh expenses have have been higher this year due to the number of students that we have hospitalized.
And districts count on that. They count on the fear. They count on the silence. And they count on parents giving up. If you are a parent of a child without a disability, you may never fully understand the heartbreak, desperation, and exhaustion that comes when you realize the system legally required to support your child is choosing not to. It is a special kind of grief to watch your child suffer in a system that promises equity but delivers silence. It is a special kind of fight that never seems to end. Families shouldn't have to become legal experts or warriors just to get what the law already guarantees. This has got to stop. And I'm urging this board to take immediate action. Ban confidentiality clauses involving cases of confirmed violations. Reimburse families that incur legal fees because of district not compliance and investigate the individuals within your own school district who obstructive accountability and enable to cover up.
Any discussion? I was really impressed with the health department's presentation last month um in about the vape sensors and about everything they're doing. So, I'm I'm really excited about this partnership that we have with them. Yes. Yes. Vicki, yes. Amy, yes. Janice, yes. Motion carries. I have the recommendation to approve the resolution authorizing execution of amendment to lease. I get a motion to accept. So, second.
Good call, Steve. See, you're getting the hang of it. You're going to be a professional by the by the end of it. No, that's all right. I wouldn't want to I wouldn't want to lose the stat person. This will be this will be this will be a guest spot and then Marino and Anderson on the draw again. And Ken Marino knocks the ball back over and that good. Yeah. Quickly through space over to Mckne. Keney off on the side. Kicks the ball over to Jordan. Jordan to Whitwar. Whitw over to Calibris. Cavalish. Kasich back to Calibri. Swings it over to Witworth. [Music] She feeds it in to Lucas. Lucas takes a step. Nice pass. Oh, just flex the last. Nice job by Calvary. And somehow Law Meadow ends up with the ball and they kick the kick it up to Den. Knocked away by looked good to looked good.
So that sort of goes along something that I'm not registering. So I'm hearing about the instructional side of it. I'm hearing about the assessment side of it. What's the what's the practice side? What what are what's available for the kids to do over and over different practice? We didn't bring the text, but we should have brought the text for I mean what I'm hoping that you say is that's not the bells and whistles that program if you were to look at any lesson or anything there's there's plenty of practice within that for students and what I'd say one of the things at the high school in the early um use of it which again happened at the middle school last year there's actually so much there that you have a you have to make the decision tree as a teacher based on what students are doing what are these problem sets you're actually having students do.
Um off the top of my head I want to say it was just over $5 million um in movement um in salaries and then the corresponding benefits and then of course you know we had additional expenses uh this month which also um brought the balance down. Now that after you've gone through this this investigation and this cleanup process, I'm assuming the coding has been corrected. So going forward, things are going to be in the appropriate places and we're not going to see major swings, you know, two, three months later. Is that correct? We moved, I want to say about uh 150 people. Um I think we have a total of about a little over Kim correct me if I'm wrong 2,000 FTEES. So we we just scratched the surface. Yeah. Yeah. It's a little bit of a moving target. We know it's about 1100 teachers and we're going to add a bunch in the spring or you know for the fall.
We do expect this line item to go exceed budget for the year. However, we have some other areas that we expect to have some savings in. So, when we look at our operations and maintenance in particular, that would be the supply uh line item here. Again, this is all combined, but individually on O andM last year, our utility cost had skyrocketed. Um, we found that out I believe it was January, Travis. Yeah. Um, and so our consultant was able to give us a pretty good idea for this year the uh energy cost. So we look like we're staying right on target at this point unless Kameed decides to add some additional costs. Uh we don't expect that to happen um until possibly July. And when it comes to transportation, last year, uh, when we reported to you about this time, we were we were really kind of getting ready to exceed the budget, uh, because of all of our special type of routes that we have to provide.
The law was broken and the public especially our students deserves better. Thank you. Thank you, Mike Dumoski. Oh, okay. [Music] Right. That concludes public comment. Motion and second are required to discuss and approve the consent agenda. So moved. Second. All in favor? I All right. 2026 2027 school agenda. A motion second required to discuss and approve the calendar for 2026 to 2027 school year. second.
Any discussion? Vote. Doug, yes. Carol, yes. Vicki, yes. Amy, yes. Jice, yes. Motion carries. I have the recommendation to approve the additional appropriation resolutions. I get a motion to accept. First, I get a second. Second.
Good hustle by Ken Marino to not get loose, but it was probably just inside the cone area, I guess. [Music] Hornick looks like she lost the ball out of bounds and Casey grabbed it and went back up. Yep. La with the ball. They're looking to start their offense. Tries to find a clean look. Can't get it. Conway with the ball over to Henson. Henson with a spin. Gets the ball. Nice pass. Good wrench. Good witch with a goal. Sam Good. Good with her first goal of the game. Number 12, Samantha Goodrich with the goal. We'll see if the Spartans can come back and answer for that one. Just under nine minutes remaining in the second quarter. Uh the visiting Lancers take a three goals to two lead over your hometown East Lo Spartans. The referee gets the draw set, asks for space there. Long switching it up, trying to change something on the draw.
So, there's plenty there from a practice because some students need more than Yeah, it does a really good job of balancing those highle tasks where maybe we're doing four or five problems in a whole day, right? But then fact, fluency is really important. Like skill building is really important. So, it has those separate and embedded in text. Exactly. And Kevin, can you introduce your team? I'm sorry. Yes, this is our C. This is our math CCC group that will get more formally introduced when they do the CCC. And this is Jess. She's our math coach. Lisa Bernat, high school department chair. Tom Scano, middle school division leader, and Scott Jeffrey, principal at Highland, but also the CC. muscle. I kept looking for I kept looking on the agenda to see where you were going to come in. Now I know what you think. Thank you.
Um but we know we're circling around 1100 teachers. So that's the line share of it. But um yeah, the rest of it kind of fluctuates a little bit. Yeah. But to your point, I I know it's a lot of work, but you know, and don't take this the wrong way. The statements then are meaningless statements. You know, of course, for miscoding, not pointing any fingers at you guys or anything there, but to the point where you've cleaned up stuff that you found so far, I'm assuming those adjustments have been made going forward. that we're not repeating this process and generating statements that have wrong information and then a period of time later coming back with whopping adjustments to it. I mean, yeah, some of the some of the coding I'm I'm referring to when I I said that some of them still could um probably benefit from a once over, it might be moving someone from one ele school to the to location, not necessarily that we're going to be moving people back and forth between the funds.
Um, we worked really hard as a team within the district. Then we worked with first student and we were we've been able to reduce those costs. We kept the budget up a little bit higher just in case that didn't pan out. But right now, it looks like we're going to have a significant savings. That savings will help offset the additional tuition costs. Other than that, we're we're tracking right online.
Any discussion? Um, I just want to kind of bring up and remind everybody we kind of moved the LA this year and next year because of a survey that was taken and like 58% of parents wanted the later start date and 43% of teachers wanted the earlier start date. So, we're looking at less than majority of teachers who only wanted the start the earlier start date. I know a lot of parents like it when we start later in August and I understand that there's some issues with kind of lining up with um our other districts and classes and things like that. It is about a week later. I'd be curious to see as what goes on this year and next year with the later start date and how does that necessarily interrupt things or what do other districts around us maybe do in taking maybe a later start date with Geneva and us starting later in the year.
Any discussion? Vote. Don, yes. Carol, yes. Vicki, yes. Amy, yes. Motion carries. Recommend a recommendation for you. The recommendation to approve the resolution authorizing fourth supplement to master continuing disclosure undertaking and issuance of bonds. Get a motion to accept. Second. Second.
