Please rise. I'm Tanner Suzinski, general contractor here in the area. I went to school here. Fifth generation. All my kids that went here, I love the Chun Valley School District. I used to. And the last couple years, it started when my boy was a senior three years ago. Started going downhill. After these last two years, this is a totally different deal. I guess that's for another meeting. We'll stick to not at this point. I don't get kicked out of here. Um, Officer Nan, the great man. My daughter started talking about him last year and I didn't know who the guy was. I would have known him if he pulled me over. I wouldn't have known him. I'm at the coffee shop maybe eight months ago. First time I met the guy. I heard him talking to someone about the students at this school. And I'm listening going that's got to be him.

You came just in time. We were looking at GIC at your comment. Oh, okay. Hold on. Let me put on my headphones real quick. Hey, Maxi. Not right now, buddy. I mean, I guess at the end of the day, all that matters is that is putting that paragraph together. Okay. All right. We're looking at JIC, you said. Mhm. Okay. Drive. It's like the top of page two. The JIC, not not the R, just the policy. Yeah, just is it where your mouse is at right now, Adriana? Yeah. So, that to those two highlighted paragraphs. What did my comment say again? I'm sorry. No, it says it feels redundant and then it would be we could word it better. Um, and the consequences for drugs and alcohol should be separated. And so, I just put together the third paragraph below that in blue. But James is asking a question about your comment.

Agree. Um despite all of this, despite all that is put on his shoulders, he still manage manages to keep a positive demeanor and a high level of patience. I have seen him demonstrate sympathy, empathy, and still be a rockolid man, boss, and friend. I feel that he is always has he always has been an asset to our district no matter the role or hat he is wearing. He used to be transportation and facilities. That's right. So, um that's what Steph had to say. Um what I had to say was that Derek is essential to the district. He's always ready to assist anytime I call on the radio. He's been down two full-timers this year, which is like at the same time, correct? Which is like half of your workforce, half of his workforce. And um he still keeps the boat um floating calmly. Not to mention he's he'll jump on a bus at any flash doses transportation.

It is about really our guiding principles. Um giving you uh our organizational philosophy. I took over as the chief of police um a little less than two years ago and one of the first things I wanted to look at was our mission. And we had a beautiful mission statement. Like a lot of organizations, it was about a paragraph long. And the problem was none of our officers could memorize a mission statement that long. And I I thought it was very important for our people that are out there, all of our staff, to know what our mission is and to have something simple that they can they can take out with them every day when they go out and interact with the public. So we went from something that was very long, a great mission statement, down to serve and protect with dignity and respect. And I stole two different ideas and plugged them together.

It depends on how long you want to go into before you issue another general obligation bond. If you want to do another $500,000 next year for projects, you're you'll have to wait the way I'm seeing it. Am I correct? Yes. Yep. I would agree with that assessment. So, if you kind of plan to do um you know 500,000 or so every every year, then uh you would be um I guess it would be more beneficial to go with that 5-year repayment uh in order to not subject yourself to that cooling off period because anything under about that 6.5 million threshold would be that non-controlled project and would need uh that cooling off period to be that before any bonds could be issued. What's the cost difference the interest? So, between the five and the 2-year, it's about uh $20,000 assuming uh you know, they were to receive the same interest rate.

Well, we have some students and I like for them to come up. It's our FFA judging team. They are going to compete on a national level. They are going to the national FFA contest as a team, some individuals. You know, they put a lot of work into this. Uh they've been to the meeting a couple times, right? And they kind of told us of their achievements, but really what's not said is that they come up here to sharpen their skills of talking to the public. people they know, people they don't know. Because in FFA, a lot of contest is just that, right? It's sharpening the tools, getting better, right? A lot of time put in. I know that you guys have supported these kids along the way. That's what I'd like for you to do. Uh Mr. Price, I know that you've helped out with them, too.

To me, it almost should be rotated a little bit. Could you at least talk to Terry about that and see if there are some additional possibilities in that? I don't want to have a change order, but to me it just the flow of how people go through there. If you sit there during a basketball game, I know that they're trying to think that people come in that door, but not many people come in that door anymore. So, just just as an option, as a thought. It's not that I want to put a put a kibash on project because I think that's going to look really good there. But I just think people are going to look at it when they walk in and they're going to like, why is it going that way? Because of the normal flow of the traffic. So, Ryan, what you're saying, the hallway there runs uh north and south is literally flipping, if possible, all those logos going up the hallway.

All right. Uh so there's no more part of Joe's report. Joe, do you want to add a little not necessarily on this but on anything? Sure. If you want me to continue, we we have summer projects lined up. um changing out the firewalls at the three schools, upgrading that um adding going through the Google admin console and and sharing up additional measures for safety and security in there. Um updating the access points to improve Wi-Fi capabilities throughout the buildings. In addition, we are um we've been talking about how we're going to um completely take control of the safety and security and the protocols for all of our students and and how do we do that? How do we take more ownership um whether we go to a true onetoone school district and we um eliminate our students from being able to bring in their own devices?

So, it's a very rapid life cycle. This animal here is, this is a microscope. Taking this video, that's about a millimeter long. So, the worm is tiny. Ordinarily, these animals live in the dirt. So, you can actually get them out of the dirt if you want to. You just get some dirt, some rotting organic material in it and put it on a petri dish and worms will crawl out. You may not get this particular worm sea elegance, but you get there's thousands and thousands of species of these nematodeses living, you know, in the dirt. So, all right, get ready. This is an amazing video. Okay, first time I saw this video, it just blew my mind. Okay, and so what we're going to do is sort of think about it. How does it work? Oh, yeah. Let's watch. This is a This is a fertilized egg of sea elegance.

Uh parents and guardians in particular. Um how what's the plan I guess to keep them involved in these conversations? Um so you will see in the regulations that there's a requirement for training of parents and guardians. A lot of the times this will also been be elicited a parent um or parent group representative through the PTA for example. They'll ask for uh volunteers but it will be a requirement for parental involvement on every one of those teams. Okay. Thank you very much Teresa. I really would like to know the estimated cost um of implementing this. I really would. I think as we as we roll it out over the course of the year, Teresa, I think we can certainly get, you know, get back to you with some information. Um, in the beginning, it's like I said, the summer work is our work with that advance, which is a contract.

As far as an explanation for understanding, I was told the athletic director was just doing what he thought was right. Really right for who? To this day, I am still waiting for my side to be heard and for questions to be asked. All employees, including myself, should have had the opportunity of due process, and that did not happen. Shortly after that meeting, I then met with the board president and the superintendent. Again, I was there to gain understanding and guidance, but was met with intentions questioning my integrity and character rather than intentions to understand what actually happened. I was talked to about the importance of self-reflection and assured a thorough investigation would be done, which turned out to be a lie. How do you conduct any investigation, let alone a thorough one, when you don't even ask me? The person accusations are about one question or even asked my coaching staff.

So hopefully we'll have a meeting before the end of next week. Um the site council met, we talked about the calendar of events and so I think we pretty much have the calendar as up to date as we can for now. Um and then I talked with them about the formation of the daycare advisory council. So hopefully we'll get all of that taken care of. Um, on the class spotlight, I did want to share with you Miss Major and the third grade group shared that they reached their goal of a postcard from all 50 states. Plus, they got postcards from 14 different countries. I thought that was pretty cool. And so, they got a total of 270 postcards. So, I thought that was really nifty. Um, in our enrollment, I did want to our numbers haven't changed. However, um when we did our projected numbers, we thought we'd be around the 70ish number frame, but with what's going on with the daycare, I'm afraid that's going to drop us down closer to 60.

I go over introduce myself. That is the nicest man I've ever met in my life. My daughter talks about him all the time. Her friends at her house talk about him. I didn't know the numbers. 4 what? 46. 446 signatures. My kids, that's unbelievable. My daughter has every right in the world to hate this guy. She's been in trouble. I don't how many times? She goes right back to him, gives him a hug, and talks to him. I don't agree with the reason she's getting in trouble. That's a totally different story. Let me know when this meeting is and I'll be back at it. This is a joke. Complete joke. People come in my office asking me what they think about Chino Valley School District. What should they do with their kids? I've always told them, Chino is the greatest place. I wouldn't send my kids anywhere else.

What was your concern? Yeah, my question is that the last sentence um the comment about the consequences for drugs versus alcohol should be separated. Yeah, because um why did I say that? Um because I think that is it a Jay? Correct me. I You don't have to call the police if a student is possessing alcohol. Correct. Correct. And and I believe there may be less leeway choice if it's um in drugs. Drug. Yep. Yeah. So, yeah, I think that's probably what my thinking was is that like the the responsibilities of the school are different for those two things. And like even from that also to like what a you know if a kid got a minor in possession charge for alcohol in general is going to be less punitive than if you're possessing methamphetamines or fentanyl or something like that. So I just wanted us to be clear and not lump everything together I guess is what I wanted to do because I knew that the school responsibilities were going to be different and the and the punishments are different.

Um I I would like to share a story. One time, one time, um, I used to take care of the garden over there. And, uh, we have a garden, believe it or not. And I think that Derek and I are probably the only people here at 6:30 in the morning in the summer. And um, I'd be watering my garden every single day. I'd come and water my garden, water my garden, then run off to get my son from cross country. And Dererick came by one day and he's like, "Would you like a timer for that sprinkler so you don't have to be here at 6:30 every day?" And I'm like, "That would be wonderful. Thank you so much." But um he's like he's rock solid just like Steph said. Like he is a complete asset to this district. He goes above and beyond all the time.

Serving and protecting. Most people have heard it as protect and serve. I wanted to put the service first because that's the majority of what we do. We are public servants and the majority of our time and energy is sent spent serving the public. We could talk for hours about the protection side of things and I do want to assure you that the Asiggo Police Department is highly trained and we have some very capable people that do a great job at protecting the public. But that's not what I'm here to talk to you about tonight. The dignity and respect part, that is how we serve and protect. If you're familiar with the 10 shared principles, that is something that the Illinois Chiefs of Police and the NAACP came together and created 10 shared principles that everyone um could agree upon. Number two on that was to treat everyone with dignity and respect.

Uh but extending that that extra about 3 years um would cost roughly $20,000 more over the life of the bond. So that extra three years here would be about um you know 6 6,300 per year in interest expense. All right. So if we go if we if we go the five-year option then we can still do you know the general oblig obligation bonds and that doesn't affect the 6 million plus and when we do that there that doesn't affect that at all. Uh that's correct. When do they have when do they have to determine that the two year and five years? Yeah, we so we do have a lot of time. I think we're planning for a sale in September. Uh and you could really you know we we can know up to a week or you know about 10 days before we actually sell the bonds.

Parents, would you stand up, please? Give them a hand, everybody. why we're here. We've got you guys here. And so we have some young ones. We have a group here that potentially over the next four or five years and you bring on other people, we can achieve this goal again very easy. I think that we can get there with our parlor. We get a parlor team put together. It is very critical that we allow young kids to come to here and address the board, right? I think our Eagle Scout thing, I think that's going to be a great thing, right? I enjoy those kids that come up here and ask for that. So, I'm going to get out of the way here, okay? Because part of it is you guys are going to talk again. You're going to tell us what you guys are doing because I know you're gonna have to come to us and ask us for some travel time to maybe even go to some other state and sharpen your saw.

I think the one closest to the door is fine because if someone does come in there, but I would say even the Vikings there, right across where it says unit J and then that the thing south of that, to me, those are prime ones that maybe be flipped a little bit or looked at. And then even the the logo in the corner, I would say put it on a 45. It may be on a 45. It just look it looks weird on 2D. So, I'm just thinking about it. So, that's the only thing that stands out weird on a drawing. So, Pat, you Pat, you'll have a conversation with Terry about that then. Yes. Our esteemed marketing director, uh, Kenny Butler, sent me an email after seeing these uh drawings today as well. Um, my thought was that everyone could just walk backwards down that hallway and so as you went past it, you would see it in the right direction.
