Um, so on May 7th and 8th, Mr. long went to safe and secure schools conference and um got quite a bit of information from that and I'll share some of those more details as we go for next year. Um on May 9th uh the K2 went to the Cosmosphere trip and they sent me the pictures and I went to try to upload them and then it kept airing out. So I'll have them for you next time. I'll share with you some of the pictures. Um today we had the graduation walkth through and so we had all of our um former Wilson students walk through and of course our board meeting. Um the fifth and sixth graders tomorrow will be going on a field trip in Wilson and in Dorance and so the they'll spend a little bit of time with the Wilson Heritage Museum and then they'll travel over to Dorance to the historical museum and the bakery.
He always says hello. He makes sure that everyone is having a great day. Even if we're not having a good day, he will still make sure that we're having a great day. He will also He's also one of the most trusted people I know. He will always make sure that everyone in the school is most trusted and if we're having a problem, we can always go to him. That's what I have to say. So, thank you for your time. Thank you. All right, Mr. Robert Lawson. Hi everybody. How you doing? I'm Robert Lawson. Uh, I work at Channel Reynolds. I'm also a baseball coach and I'm hiring chief at Channel League. So, I deal with kids a lot. Um, thank you, Miss Crawford, for this year. Um, wanted to say, Mr. Lawson, excuse me. Would you address the board, please? Sure. Thank you. Sure. wanted to say I'm at the little league parked every day and I see this officer Non come up.
One second. Okay. Then the next ones are sent for approval. Okay. So, if you can go to JIC. And then if you look at um page two, top of page two, Katie's comment, there was two paragraphs that we had um that we needed to like kind of combine and figure out what we wanted. And so I gave my best stab at paragraph three. Um, so Jez, if you're looking at it, uh, just for the sake of you being able to see what we're doing, if you could just look at what's now written in blue, middle of page two, and tell us how you feel about that. I'm looking at it right now. Oh, and that shall I was hoping to make a May. I didn't change it on there. The second shall Adriana the first shall in this paragraph law enforcement authorities shall be or may be contacted if the princ when the principal determines were found in the possession of a student.
So, she does a fantastic job and I am very honored that she won this [Applause] month. All right, Mr. Core. All right, our student of the month is Rebecca Frenendall. And I would also like to ask uh Corey Dickin, her teacher that nominated her to come up as well. [Applause] Uh so Becca has been an absolutely phenomenal student all year long. Uh her persistence and dedication to furthering her education shines through in all aspects of her school day. Uh she has an enthusiasm for learning that's evident in every class. She approaches each lesson with curiosity, diligence, and a positive attitude. Um whether she's engaging in classroom discussions, collaborating with peers, or tackling challenging assignments, she always shows a level of commitment that sets a strong example for others. Um she often takes on leadership roles within the class. Um she does have an uncanny ability to kind of keep others on track with their work when necessary.
Please join me in welcoming Dr. Cooper Wells. I want to thank the teams who engaged in the hiring process uh for working so hard and diligently um and helping our district really become a destination place and uh we know that it goes without saying and every one of their references spoke very highly to their recommendations and we look forward to your service and welcome to the team. All right. Thanks. Agenda item 6.1 um presentation regarding ESPO police and community unit school district 308 partnership presentation. Yes. So good evening uh board. This evening we're um welcoming and we want to thank the chief chief Baston and his team. You will hear from him in a few minutes and we also have assistant superintendent Mr. Bell who will be speaking. Mr. B, would you join up? I want to go ahead and uh introduce our uh our folks here.
Uh so that's kind of one piece. I'll come back to that. But uh you would have to wait 12 months after the bond that you are issuing matures. So we've um are expecting this 2-year repayment to mature on January 15th of 2028. uh which would mean the next opportunity you would have to issue a geo for a non-controlled project would be 20209 because that would fill then that 12-month cooling off period. I know you were planning for maybe a larger project in the future that could still happen because that would be considered a controlled project. Uh and I guess some background on controlled versus non-controlled is that uh controlled is typically uh smaller I guess in in borrowing amount. There's a calculation it's either 1% of your gross assessed value uh or the it's the lesser of 1% of your gross assessed value or um I believe this year it's about $6.5 million.
Congratulations, Oliver. Keep up. Next, we have two. The first is from the May board meeting because Caleb Hoer, not the May board meeting, the April board meeting. Caleb Hoer, I guess he had a golf tournament or something. So, if he wasn't on behalf of the school corporation, we excused him to go play on our golf team. Um, and we apologize. We have your flag and we left it on in our office. So, we will have your flag for you and we're still going to recognize you, but uh for April [Applause] student, that was past two months actually. Um, last year and this year he created the invitations, the flyers, and the programs for the this I believe program. He demonstrates creativity, responsibility, and patience as he works through multiple revisions until they get to a final product that's just right. Uh Mrs. Tonsone says he has also been busy with Mr.
There we go. Uh, the tile work that leads from door 28 to the arena, um, that tile work is cracking and broken in several places. And so we're actually going to tear up that tile and do stained concrete much like is in the cafeteria area you see here along with some logos in certain areas in the uh hallway and in the arena. So if you look at the drawing the first H that you see there right by the cursor that would be the floor as soon as you enter door 28. um that leads to the arena and then if you take a right that goes down in front of the trophy cases in the wait room and then the HNS and the Ike the Vike logos that are in the four corners would be in the stairwells um and leading up to the stairwells in the arena.

Give me two rows. I know. There you go. There you go. Okay. There we go. That's much better for you. Trying to be one of the kids. Dr. That's good. That's good. Okay. All right. Right here, please. One, two, three. One, two, three.
Any questions on that at all? School committee. Thanks for acting upon it quickly. Yeah, we we Yeah, 11 11:03. Yeah, 11:03 texted Joe at 11:04 and I think we had it shut down by a little before 1:00 a.m. this morning. We had that shut down this. So, we got work to do on our end. Um, but to use that expression, students were able to get in the back door. We left a little bit of a back door open in our district and we were able to shut that down and now we're we we know that that's taking place, but 147 individual groupings that are out there, we're working on those right now to make sure that will not happen again. I would just ask can I just ask is there any plans for like the summer about just like going through the whole Google classroom ecosystem and making sure like double check I know it's this in the middle of the year you can't really like tear it apart but yes um we we've actually started as we're going through these individual groups um where we're slowly some of these changes are going to affect districtwide um for instance where we're taking a look at emails in and out of the district.
So during this whole time by the way with the green arrow uh Candi is there uh helping running the lab and uh sort of providing absolutely incredible uh scientific support as well as um support in running the lab as a personal you know personnel management u issue. So, so what do we wonder about in the lab is like how do animals get their shapes, right? And when you think about this, it's pretty amazing, right? I mean, there's incredible diversity of animals live today and there's a whole incredible diversity of animals that have gone extinct. Um, and they all what's in common amongst all of them is their DNA contains instructions for a developmental program so that it the animal develops into what it finally looks like. This can be very complicated, you know, like in insects um and so forth and butterflies even with these larve and pupy and stuff and metamorphosis.
Thank you. Um so just to just to respond um this the intent of this policy is to be implemented districtwide. So from our preschool setting with our youngest students all the way up to our high school including our reach endeavor program as well as our ACE programs through alternative schools as well. Um and I will certainly um bring back to the committee as we develop the regulations and they will be shared with the board before implementation. Um but your suggestion Oneita of the um posting of the safe school climate coordinator on the website in a central location, I think that that's a good idea so people know who to go to and certainly as part of the feedback process. Um one of the things that we're going to be looking to do is is the personnel that we have the time that it takes to do this.
Coaches that can push girls to be their best have standards that make them not just better athletes, but also better people. Coaches that empower these young girls to advocate for themselves. Let them know it's okay to take up space, how to navigate sticky situations, and stand in your values. Coaches that let the young girls know that strong and confident is a good look for everyone. coaches that get girls excited about playing sports, what it means to work hard, and staying out for sports. And most importantly, at the end of the day, coaches that care about these girls' well-being, which they do by having strong relationships and making connections, which from the girls, the parents, that is happening. Um, not every coach has the ability to challenge athletes, uh, push them, be tough on them, and at the end of the day, those athletes would run through a brick wall for them because they know that coach will run through a brick wall for them.
And um then on the 14th um we have quite a few kids that meet AR this time. So their AR reward trip will be that day. Um the fifth and sixth graders will take a final trip together to go bowling. There'll also be our field day and that'll be the last day for prek and preschool. On the 16th uh we'll have the sixth grade promotion and student awards and that'll be the last half day. And then I'll do the teacher checkups between the 16th and the 23rd. in the Memorial Day. Last week, I didn't put this on here, but last week we celebrated teacher appreciation. And I just have to give a shout out to all of our teachers. Um, nobody knows what they do every day. I'm going to highlight next year we're going to do grade level by grade level and highlight that on our Facebook and some other places just so that everybody can see the incredible things that those teachers do every single day.
He has a daughter on the team. I see these kids racing up to talk to this man. This man is more than a police officer. He's a mentor. Okay, these kids come up and I know a lot of these kids. A lot of these kids have problems. They confront him. They talk to him. He's a very good man. Most police officers blow people off because they think they're above God. Okay, that's my personal opinion. Okay. But these this officer takes the time. He talks to him. These kids respect him. They shake his hand and all that. You don't see that. Okay. I'm really confused why Chino's even talking about this tonight. This is craziness. Okay. This man's a mentor and we're talking to him about even possibly getting rid of him. It's insane. My in my eyes. I see this man on a daily basis and all that.
But then do we have the option or the statute require that we contact I I copied it from what we put previously? Yep. Go ahead. I think that would be my question also. Um is it does that fall under mandatory reporting? Is it a shell or may in the matrix uh that we use uh drug violations are required interestingly enough alcohol and tobacco are um required to be reported to the state but not necessarily not necessarily law enforcement. Yeah, I think that's what we're that what he's saying, Jez, is that we when we put it in synergy, it will flag for the state that the report that they were there, but we determine um based on like the the issues. What's uh her comment about uh delineation between uh alcohol and drugs? Where are you at? Um it's the comment it's the comments that's associated with that.
Um, she's also great at advocating for herself. Um, she's always been very respectful and she is a role model both in and outside the [Applause] classroom. All [Applause] right. Now, I'm going to call Derek Swederski up here for our employee of the month. Come on up, Derek. I get the privilege of uh working pretty closely with Derek and uh I don't think people realize the amount of time he puts in outside of the normal school day. There are weekends uh there are nights um we get calls for alarms we get uh and Derrick's the first one up here so we really appreciate that. I'm going to read I think uh Renee Holm. Are you are you here? Is Renee Rene can you come on up? So Renee nominated Derek. Um, do you mind saying a couple of things? Okay, I'll let you do that. Okay.
So, this is uh Chief Jason Baston from Asiggo Police Department as well as Sergeant Brian Naring who is uh sergeant of special programs operations kitchen sink that pretty much covers it. Um so, um at the request of them um uh we wanted to highlight a number of things that we do together um both in the school district as well as the thing the things that are being done in the school community um by our police department. So, I'll kind of turn it over to you. Um, and I hope that you see through uh aspects of this presentation um the alignment that we have had um and both our our values um and the actions and kind of uh interactions we've had with our kids. Good evening. I'd like to thank the board for allowing us to come and present. I'm sure you guys have a lot of pressing matters.
You would be over that $6.5 million. So, I'm not really worried about that if that's the next issuance. So, uh uh just wanted to I guess make that known. Uh if you plan to do another small go bond next year, it might be more beneficial to go with the 5-year repayment so you wouldn't be subject to that cooling off period, but it sounds like you're targeting a maybe a larger issuance um to accomplish kind of more projects here in the future. Yeah. So, Excuse me. And then the 6 million would be possible at what's the earliest date? Uh so the earliest date would be 2029. That's at that's at the a non-controlled, right? A non-controlled bond. Yes. Yes. That would be a non the control bond. We can we can do we can do that next year if we if we choose to. Yeah. Yeah.
on in graphology, working diligently each power hour, attending Purdue events as media, and participating in a weekly online television show, reporting the latest analytics from Deli based on the recent gates. So, Lily Harrison All right, Lily is a strong academic student. She's also a quiet leader that leads with example and her behavior. In student services, Lily can be found during lunch. And often we have students that are lonely or have social anxiety eat upstairs. And she will always acknowledge them and include them in conversation without pushing them to participate. She's a quiet giant in a school of great kids. And we will start with the elementary student of the month and her presenters. If you would also come forward, we can get pictures. And at the conclusion of the pictures, if anyone is would like to uh not stay for the rest of the meeting, you are welcome to at that time.
