Do not forget them. Navigate life with them. That little girl or little boy, little person inside of you is so precious. Do not leave lose them in drive. Keep that curiosity. Don't tell them no. You'll find out for themselves. I don't know what I'm doing, so I'm just going to keep being curious. Keep that determination. Demand answers from the world and contribute to the discoveries of the world around you. I am not always right. I will sometimes get into arguments and then a kind person comes along to teach me and correct me. Doesn't matter how small or otherwise you are. There are always going to be awkward moments in that in this world and it doesn't matter. It's okay. Make your mark. Continue along this journey and make your mark as you go. Just like you, your parents, and all of these old people in this room, remember when we were all babies.

We decided to split the eighth graders into an all boys and all girls sections, PE and music. Mrs. Hatch drew the toughest end of the stick in the classroom, dealing with 37 eighth grade boys every other day. I had it easier in comparison as I coached many of those boys and had several years of yelling at them under my belt. Yet even so, I did not expect some of the challenges I faced with the girls this year. These girls are ultra competitive. So much so that at times I almost lost control of their PE class. They pulled each other's hair out supposedly on accident. They cussed at each other and even once at me again supposedly on accident. and they argued about ball and strike calls to this now jaded umpire during the softball unit more times than I'll ever be able to or want to remember.

Um we also have non-instructional services uh like community ed and our family resource center. And then um maintenance of our buildings is also in here at 2600. And then just to point out regular education is up there as a 100 and specials uh special education is a 200. So that's the difference between the two areas that look very similar. the difference is one is regular education and one is special education and the dollars we put there you'll see there's a pupil transportation line those are the dollars we're spending on um bus drivers buses things like or the things that support buses uh repairs and maintenance we have some additional dollars So when we talked about those individual funds, I I tend to talk about the maintenance and operation because it is again a the bigger fund. It's where the funding formula comes from. Um but each individual fund as we talked about is set in the uniform system of financial recordkeeping.

Seniors, tonight is your night. You've earned this moment. Not just because tonight marks the conclusion of four years of late nights, early mornings, setbacks, comebacks, or not just through completing assignments and passing tests, but through the spirit and heart that make you true Titans. Each of you has carved your own path to this stage. Tomorrow you will be stepping into a fastmoving world and sometimes uncertain. yet a a world full of of opportunity, change, and potential. Whether you're heading to college, starting a job, joining the military, learning a trade, or still figuring it out, that's okay. You may not have all the answers, and that's also okay. Your path doesn't have to look like anyone else's. What matters is that you ask the right questions. Keep learning and remain committed to making a difference no matter how small or grand. As you move forward, remember your success is not only measured by personal achievement, but also by the positive impact you have on others.

Thank you. Have a good night. Have a wonderful summer. Bye-bye. Now, I'll just make one comment. I want to thank Mr. Bman uh since this is his last uh time presenting to us as the president. I know you've had a lot of challenges professionally and privately and uh I've always admired your work ethic, your spirit, your spirit of collaboration and uh we're going to miss you, but we appreciate your contributions. And I might be out of line here, but we've taken so many pictures. It would be inappropriate for us to take a picture of Mr. Bman as he's exiting as president. You're the board of education. You're my boss. You do what you want. Got the camera in her hands. Okay. I I don't expect the reception thing. I've been there before. The door opens and I step into by myself. Hey, I'll take Kevin.

Um Mr. Shepard's a part of the um the ISBO. I'm a part of IASA. Our principles are part of the Illinois principal association. So we've been connected to these organizations long before this vision 2030 as well as this comes from the Illinois board of education. Okay, I'm fine with I do have a question. So Mr. Shver, are you saying that if we if they do implement a county sales tax, all of the revenue would go for schools in the in the county? So it yes um it would be divided up it's it's an allocation per student which is why the the amounts vary per district. Currently what the process is is I believe um a majority a simple majority of school districts that represent at least uh 50% of the county have to approve this uh ballot measure for it to go on the ballot at the countywide level.

Uh so we would recommend that the board uh approve uh a contract extension with organic life. Mr. Shepard, what are the what are the circumstances um where we would have to increase the price or what are we waiting for? So, the the price increase is is dictated by whether your food service uh program is um is uh being able to be self-sufficient. Uh what I mean by that is uh we know how much the food service program costs and the state expects that between reimbursements and the amount that you charge that you're basically going to to break even. The last couple years when we've looked at this, we've actually taken in uh more money uh than what the the food service program actually costs. So, we have we have not had to raise uh the lunch prices. Um we complete what's called the paid lunch equity tool uh that the state publishes.

We use our map data. We use discipline data. What what map scores are you looking at? Are you looking at spring? At times, sometimes we can, but we start with those fall, those winter scores, and then we constantly look at them and then again include um discipline data and academic data, grades, and um a slew of other um access scores, multip multiple uh data points because I I um I remember I touched on this last year um but I also asked a lot of the schoolboard matter U members at the speed meeting and it was around this time and they said that they had everything all squared away and they had everything set in place and it felt like we were scrambling. Um it it it felt it felt like uh we were just getting things in place just in time to do summer school.

No balls, two strikes. One of the first, no outs. Locker steps off the mound, resets just outside. Nice pitch. One ball, two strikes. Oh, good good framing back there by Lame trying to get that that call. Now we go to two and two. Oh, foul tip back. Nice pitch. Brook's able to get a bat on that. Fight that pitch off to stay alive. Keep the count of two and two. So in there for a strike, drop third strike, but there's nowhere for the runner to go. Can't can't get first base pace because it's the first guy on first even though his teammates are yelling for him to run. Just that doesn't work when you have a runner at first. Drop strike goes out the window. First pitch to Barrens is just outside. One ball, no strikes. Ball a little high. Two balls, no strikes. One out, man on first.

I only have three minutes. So this is my concern coming from Lawrence. I am nobody. I'm just a person from Lawrence who lives at 36 Columbus Avenue that's concerned and that has been seeing how manipulated you guys have been for 11, 12, 13, 14 years, which I believe is a mistake by you guys to allow yourself to sign a contract that will give you the opportunity to pay somebody $418,000 to manage the school. That is my opinion. That's what I think and that's exactly what I came here to say. Having said that, you guys have a blessed day. I hope you guys continue to serve and do your job that I think you guys should be doing for your community, Muan, Lawrence, North Andover, and Andover. I think you guys all all of the communities the job that you guys are meant to do. So, having said that, now that I'm not going to be a politician anymore, can be because I almost died two years two two weeks ago.

Your heart as you bring it into this world. your drive as you use it to continue along your journey. Your curiosity as you use it to discover. All of those things are going to shape you and shape the world that you live in. When you pursue higher education, absolutely go do that. But also keep in mind that there is no highest education. There is no cap on learning. You can become an expert in one thing and if you do that that's wonderful but keep that motivation to continue to learn and become an expert in other things because there is no limit. If you choose something to do that might be temporary or um put things in as you put puzzle pieces together for the future. Remember in those low moments Remember to find that drive to continue to learn and remember that you have the key.

That said, this group of girls is also unbelievably supportive of one another. They cheered each other on like crazy when they did something well and supported each other when someone was having a down day or playing a sport they simply never played before. I'm so proud of these ladies and how hard they brought it this year. And there are a lot of very good female athletes in this eighth grade class. They're fast, they're strong, and they're determined. But only one can do just about anything. She is the quickest middle school girl I've ever seen. She has the biggest cardio gas tank of any middle school girl I've ever seen. and she is the most determined middle school girl I've ever seen. Yet, through all this athletic achievement, I've never once seen this girl brag. Coming of age, smack dab in the middle of the Tik Tok generation, this may be her most impressive quality.

Again, it keeps us all on the same page. It keeps us transparent. When you look at the um letters for that, that's the USFR or in the finance world we call it you suffer. I got one joke in. Come on. It's um and and as and this uh uniform system of financial reporting, it again sets uh takes all of the various Arizona revised statutes uh for Arizona school districts. We all have to follow this process. This is what we get audited for. Um, this talks about everything that we do in a school district. Uh, from how we keep our accounts, how we manage cash, how we keep um track of all of our assets, all of the things that we own in a district, um, how we record when people travel, it's all in this uh, document. And so this is the main document that oversightes school finance.
