So, the the rates that they're locking into for this year are less um you know, nothing to write home about, but based upon the the usage that we have now, if I would apply that to next year's rates versus this year's rates, it's probably somewhere around $100,000 in in savings that we'll see due to the lower rates. >> Can I ask you what the custodial supplies there? That number right there? It says custodial supplies. It's showing 70. Is that 70,000? >> Yes. Negative 70,000. >> Yeah. Negative. >> Yeah. Custodial supplies.

So so the university has um six year CIP plans. Um this is our our our latest. It's on our website and we can happy to bring you hard copies. Um it covers three bianiums. So this this uh we are in the beginning stages of the second bianium. It's from FY24 through FY29. Um, and it does lay out a facilities master plan. Uh, what it does not specifically incorporate. Uh, are the different methods of pedagogy and how much is going to be online? What do we anticipate the body heat to be on campus? Um, perhaps the type of facilities we need moving forward would be more technologybased um, instead of your standard classroom that where the pedagogy is. lectern style. So all of that um is not incorporated in this plan. This was based more on um our deferred maintenance and just where the the growth um was kind of anticipated to be based on the age of a building.

This gives us a three-year comparison looking at from 23 24 all the way through 2526. And overall we see there's been relatively stable but I do want to point out the significant decrease in violence from last year from six instance to one. We understand that hib is our largest reporting category and as I mentioned before we're really working hard within our guidance department and initiatives with all the building administrators to work with our students so that we can teach them those lessons so that those hibs are reduced in the future. And we also recognize that there is the increase in substance abuse and we are too looking at that from our SAC counselor and our guidance department to enhance some of the things that we're doing. In addition to reporting out on those reported categories, we also have to report out on our school safety drills.

I'm proposing that students um from 12:15 to get their their day in that counts towards attendance for the state and then we keep the teachers in the afternoon. Then on the Friday, kids will still be up on the Friday before Memorial Day and we will bring the teachers the other half PD that they owe us in the morning to half day P day for staff on the 22nd. So that way we're not, you know, kids will be here on the 13th but only half day. Families get to keep the Friday before Memorial Day. Teachers will come in the Friday before Memorial Day for the half day. The other half was made up without having to add or take away from spring break. All right. Is everyone okay forward? Okay. Disney um committee met February 4th meeting last hour. We met in person and in attendance and as well as virtually.

Harp this is a conversation that he had with a previous principal even at times uh from middle school central. So that was um well over three years ago. Um, another good time for this is because of the new schedule uh that we have with teachers and with our new start times this year, we have time that we meet with teachers before school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I think without that time um you might be a little bit more hesitant um to move forward with the change. But with that change, I think this is a positive time to consider a change to our schedule. Um the new accountabil account accountability model requires more high school courses taught in the middle schools. And uh if you look at the Indiana GPS, it will have the percentage of each school of how many students have high school courses prior to entering high school 9th grade.

The southern side. >> Okay. >> Maybe later in life we'll deal with the northern side, but yeah. So, >> nice. >> Yeah, that's going to be great. So, so the there's a lot of cord with the pave and we're kind of dealing with two contractors. So, right now we have the water contractor first. We need to figure out, you know, kind of coordinate with them what they're going to do and then the next phase is going to be probably a different contractor for the surface work for the sidewalk improvements, the traffic lights and all that. So, unless we're able to figure it out with the first contractor.

um for business and operations. Um we uh I was fortunate enough to be a part of the tri board meeting where you all submitted your budget on February 4th, right? Uh to the tri board uh to the other two boards. Um and on February 10th, uh the board finance committee, we met and to further discuss the proposed budget that was submitted. Um, and then the board had received a letter uh back from our first selectman, Steve Dunn, and uh inquiring just about the types of changes uh that would need to be made um to the submitted budget should um there be a reduction of.5% 1% or an increase of.5%. And so, um, the board members, uh, various board members I know have been looking deeper into that, um, administration, um, and, uh, the my two colleagues here at the table, um, to really look carefully and identify ways that we can potentially meet those scenarios uh, that were presented to us.

So maybe I should ask for questions and let me just finish this now. So when you folks have been doing your CIP, Sinclair, um McCarthy Mall, um even Athetherton and all of those things were going on. Were you guys following any kind of plan? The these well the there is a plan uh like that it anticipates six years of it forecasts out six years. Sometimes things get added to the plan. Um in the case of the Sinclair Library Student Success Center, um that was a uh priority that the um Provost Michael Bruno, Provos Bruno really wanted to see uh happen. So, that got inserted as a priority. That was based on um a lot of data that we received. Um and when we were putting together the six-year plan, we did survey um students at Monoa to see what type of spaces they would like to see more on campus or what kind of spaces needed to be improved.

We are required to have one fire drill per month, but in addition, we also have to run school safety drills each month. In September, we had our evacuation. In October, we had our shelter in place. And in November and December, we had our lockdown. We also are required to do a bus safety drill where our students actually are on the bus and learn how to safely get off the bus in out the back or out the front depending on what's going on. And we did that as a district in all schools in September. And lastly, the other piece that we're working on in all the schools is having planning meetings regarding our cardiac response team. I think ultimately what I want everyone to take away from this is I'm required to report out numbers, but these are our students. This is our school climate and we're really trying to use this data to ensure that our students have a safe learning environment.

And so we'll have some data on that here in just a moment. And then um the district as well is going to roll out a new MTSS process for the district. We each have processes currently in our school for the MTSS process, but it'll be further refined um at the district level so that we can hopefully carry those plans when a student goes from elementary to middle and middle to high. We can keep that consistency K through 12 to ensure that continued support of our students that might be struggling. And again, Dr. Dr. Harp mentioned um that could be not only for academic reasons but also behavioral reasons or social emotional reasons as well. Um and then we have had ongoing questions and um you know concerns about benefits and implications of teaming. Um one thing that's difficult in the middle school level is you have about half your staff that have a team prep and about half your staff that do not.

Um, I think that if we were, what I would share is that we would have to take a very close look at staffing. um at possible reductions in sections potentially as well as uh program cuts if needed uh to meet any of those decreases. But equally to meet those increases, we would want to look in the same areas. Um so our goal would be maintain a strong foundational educational program for our students while really remaining uh maintaining that fiscal responsibility uh for the community. So, um, we received the letter. We are taking a very close look at it and we can be responsive should those cuts come to fruition. Okay. I also had an opportunity to review uh bathroom accessibility at uh BHS here at BHS.
