I I'd just like to add that um you know, I think that um with Jen leaving us, it was a it was kind of scary moment for me. I felt like it was a huge piece of the organization. Yeah. And uh I knew how scary it was for Michael and a few other people. Um and so it was uh really, you know, I was very pleased that Michael, you were able to realize that we had some staff right within the team that um could really step up and and help to make this transition time very smooth. And um it was a great time to do some reg organization. And uh that's you know it's so important in challenging times to to uh make them work in your favor.
Nobody there. Gets the ball over to Jordan. Jordan goes all the way around. She turns around, takes a shot. Nice save by the goalie.

Pazinski will get herself an 8 meter attempt with 13 seconds to go. Creable. No. Yeah. Pazinski. Pazinski runs it in. Bounces it. No. No. Good. Good work by Kylie Marino to displace the ball. She got four seconds. She'll just run it out. And the Spartans will go into the second quarter with a commanding nine to one lead. [Music] Hello. I know.

I. All opposed? Nay. Okay. So, um, the motion to table does not pass. Will we uh go back to the um existing motion? Is there further discussion on this? Right. Are we ready to vote um to Well, actually, can you if you have information from the attorney, can you forward it to us? No, this is just a conversation in in TSO. So, yes. You need me to write it down rather than telling you right now? Yes, please. Sure. Okay. Okay. All in favor of um approving the minutes um per the motion on the table, please indicate by saying I. I. All opposed. Okay. Stephanie, did you get that as 43? Okay. Wonderful. Yep. All right. I just want to make a note. Um and Sarah, before we move on, let me just make sure I have the substance of your request. Okay.
Where is that money? Is does it go in our general fund or does it go I mean is that part of the 1.4 million? Yeah. So if you balance Yep. If you want to uh flip the page uh to the summary uh what we did is uh we had to wait until we saw it come into bank the bank account. Uh and once once we did um Angela did a journal entry and she um credited our expense. So you'll see that in the second line down um that employee benefits and again I'm going to say this every time I have to read this. It says employee benefits social security but it's actually more than just social security. Uh the budget is uh 30.8 uh million. Uh we've yearto date spent 20.1 with an additional 6.2 encumbered. Uh so we have a favorable favorable balance of 4.488.
And so, you know, that's that's significant. The the final level, which doesn't happen too often, is they can recommend removal, complete removal as from of the school official from the board or the district or whatever. Um, we talked about there are are 10 tenets of the uh code of ethics. uh and they are there and board school officials are expected to abide by them at all times in their official capacity. They have they you know they can't forget about the code of ethics. Um and it these also the tenants help identify different roles that board members can and can't do. Um but to go through them kind of quickly and briefly and you know feel free to ask a question at any time. you don't have to wait till the end if you have a question um because this this is like a an info dump but go ahead.
We changed a lot in our in our program and how Miss Morales was going to instruct her children and it was a little it was a lot difficult in the beginning and she's somebody that'll come to me to be very open and honest and I said so how's it going and Miss Morales said it's a little tough but we're going to keep at it we're going to keep at it and a couple months later she said we got it we got it and you know what Miss Martini she said I like So, um we are just so fortunate, so proud of her and um just keep doing what you're doing.

It helped me start believing in God again, I saw it as he sent people into my life when I needed it most. Although most people don't like Mountain View, whether they went there or not, I do because I met some of the most important people in my life there. Even though I have made amazing new friends, some of which are walking along with me tonight, and even though I don't go there anymore, everyone I met and made friends with there will always have my support and will have my support as they walk the stage tomorrow. I believe we will all do amazing things for ourselves in the future mentally, spiritually, and successfully in the way we hoped we would when we were little. Though my time here at MCAT was short, I enjoyed it. all the memories I made, the friends I made, and the opportunity given to me to attend this school.
He was also the president of the Indiana Crown Judges Association, a position of all the judges in the state of Indiana. He was the recipient of two senior awards of the Wallface, the highest civilian award for the state of Indiana and he was the author of two publications of history collection, a book that is used even to this day. His dad graduated from Baltimore, I believe in 1932. His local civic associations are too numerous to list. But I believe he was a Rotarian for more than 70 years. But his biggest joy and interest were the development of the student at Green Creek Community High School. He was one of their biggest fans. He attended many, many high school activities and athletic events well after my two brothers and I graduated from Greensburg High School. He attended plays, concerts, performances of his students. He was always in attendance when the Pirates played football, baseball, or basketball, and was attending basketball games while he attended 90 years of age.
All right. Then we will go ahead and continue with the business portion of our school board meeting this evening. The first item, Mr. President and members of the school board, I'd like to recommend that you pass the consent agenda as presented to you this evening. The items on the consent agenda our approval of minutes, financial, fiscal, extracurricular, hiring and resignations, and donations. And if I could take just a quick moment, I'd like to recognize those people that are making donations to our school district. Friends of Bailey School has donated $600 for the end of the year assembly. The varsity football program received donations from J&J's Pizza of $500. Raw Auto $300 for the football program and Cut Up and Die $300 for the football program. Smok and E Barbecue donated $500 and coach Glenn Gully of the varsity football team donated $53029 to the baseball program.
So thank you all and and excited to have you uh in your new positions. Anybody else? So I'll just I'll just say um welcome to the table. We're really glad we're really glad to have you guys here. And it's funny because as this role has been sort of split between the two of you, I've gotten to know both of you over the years. And um and I think this really plays to both of your strengths, which is really first when Michael was like, "Oh, we're going to have two town managers." I'm like, "Oh, how's that going to work?" And then when we started talking about the split, I'm like, "Oh, that makes complete sense because just the um your strengths really will I I think this plays to your strengths." So, um, I'm looking forward to working more directly with you guys and, um, if there's anything that I can do to help you, feel free to reach out because like, you know, I want to be a resource to you and I don't want you guys feeling like you need to um, do this on your own.
[Music] Yeah. [Music] Yeah. Next year they're not gonna you have to think it as like I'm not going to win. He said you got to set up another only one like one or two. [Music] Oh, I think maybe with everybody being [Music] one head. [Music] Right. Like this. [Music] Can I get some water? Can I get some lock up music? Yeah. What do you want? What do you want? I had a big fight with my students about this the other day and I said, "If I can get lock up music, I either have Welcome to the Jungle or Superstition." I said, "Do you wonder?" They're like, "You think you can pull that off?" I was like, "Yes, I do. I do." That's funny. All right. What What's next? Next goal is what? Thunderrunk. I got everything. You got your list. How' you like your flowers?
Chicken Bower now up. Grounded out to end the first inning. His first time up. Looks at a strike. [Applause] Oh, one count. [Music] No, one and one. Battle call time. [Music] Fast ball in there for a strike. Sean Croll is out at third. What a throw by the catcher. And the score still remains 190. Now we got Greg K. Looks like a ball. Okay. is two for three today. As the catcher stops it [Music] and there strike Try to [Music] slow off speed pitch gets him for the strikeout. First out of the inning. Let's go. [Music] That was ripped foul. DY one for two today with a single. Wait out in front. Let's go. One more. [Music] popped up left fieldielder in foul territory with the second grab of the inning. Two [Applause] [Music] outs. One more. [Music] Sloth Speed popped it up. Short stop backing up and nice grab by Shura for a one, two, three inning.
Um so any discussion regarding that is okay for you. Absolutely. any discussion regarding these concerns. Okay. And then that would be an official attorney opinion, would it not? Yeah. Which would incur a cost. Just clarifying. Well, let's not go. So you this is a new opinion. This is a new opinion on a FOYA violation that you think exists. So you want to know if we were FOYA compliant? Yeah. Okay. That would be an opinion. Right. Thank you. Okay. So moving on to item eight. Um moving on to item eight. the uh superintendent's update. Miss uh Dr. Bro. All right. Thank you, Dr. Young. But good evening, everybody. Um for teaching and learning, uh I did want to let everybody know that national and some of this will overlap with a little bit of the news that Melissa shared this evening. Uh the high school has its National Honor Society induction ceremony uh tomorrow evening at 7 p.m.
Um and then there's a little one at the end of that. And if you go down to the notes, you'll see it that is reflecting the 1.6 million. So the number is actually sitting in um the employee benefits line as a credit against the expense. So Mike, with the positive balance of see of 1.4, if we didn't have the 16, then we'd be negative $200,000. Correct? That doesn't and two months ago doesn't leave us in a very comfortable position. certainly contrary to the way the last two years have been. Um that being said, I'm glad it's a 1.4 positive, but are there do do you foresee a lot more entries in the year 20 in the current year that that you're working on that has to be done to clean things up? Change these numbers significantly. That that is a very good point. Um if we did have the 1.6, six, there would be a negative balance.
So the only thing I will say as a reminder if you're going to ask a question just call for the microphone so that it gets picked up for the recording. Okay. All right. So as I said there are 10 tenants. Tenant A is uh board members, school officials have to uphold and enforce all laws of the state of New Jersey uh and the state board of education and anything that pertains officially to school districts. When you look at the slide up above is the code of the different tenant the code and the standard um is suggested factual evidence that somebody uh must submit when they're saying that a board member violated a of the of the code of ethics. It's it's helpful. Again, that information is also on the commission the the school ethics commission u website. Um and and when we get to B, B talks about you will make decisions in the best term in the best interest of the educational welfare of all your students, not just some, not just the constituency that may have elected you.
Ah because I know in class he doesn't allow it. So I just want my permission. First of all I want to congratulate everyone here all the teacher of the year winners and the students. You all have done an excellent job and it's wonderful to have you in the district. I also want to thank everyone back here because without you and your support we wouldn't be here and I thank you for that. I do have something written short, but then I want to go off the script and just talk a little bit about a couple things about the chancellor. Congratulations on being named school 6 teacher of the year. Your dedication, creativity, and passion for teaching is an inspiration to your students and your colleagues and a testament to the powerful impact you make every day. You have become a leader in our ELA department and school.
