Uh but that one is um dead. And then um HB1 1210 again the language to allow that lit revenue delay for another year is still in there. So um that would impact instead of 2028 and 2029. And then another bill that I thought I would mention to you guys uh is House Bill 1242. Uh this bill would require the Indiana Department of Education to create a report on multiple different financial and academic aspects of public schools in the state of Indiana with the goal of making recommendations to increase administrative efficiencies, reduce administrative costs, and improve student outcomes. Um, it will also add language for the Department of Local Government and Finance to work with the Department of Education to conduct a study of the disparities in per student operational funding amounts in school corporations. And so, um, some of the data that they'll be asking for are the total number of school corporations in Indiana, the segregated by county population, the number of school corporations and charter schools per county, the number of students enrolled in each school corporation charter school.
Uh and so we are working with Northern Essex to come up with a final plan to Smith State uh where our students will be able to uh obtain uh dual credits while they're in high school. uh one of the programs uh most of the coursework will be uh in the academic area except we are uh working with them on an additional program where kids students that are in the health programs will be able to also get credit towards uh health career uh coursework that they take so that uh they can work towards an associates in nursing uh from Northern Essex. So, uh, when the program is fully in place, students will have an opportunity to, uh, uh, actually get a associates degree at some point, uh, before they graduate from high school if they're willing to put that work in it takes. The opportunity is there for them and it will depend on how hard a student works.
So that would be a decision that you folks would be able to um come to consensus on now at this stage >> in terms the leazison that it's >> is that um is is that okay with discussing that now or would you yes okay so board vice president Rodriguez Pñena >> uh yes I would like to be included okay >> and I'm a yes okay thank you Dr. says, "When we send out >> mute his microphone, >> it's not turning green. >> Is there like a green light around the microphone?" >> No, I think the point would reiterate we'll be sending updates regularly to the board. We'll send to the whole board and this be just when we have some questions and some clarifications on things. >> Thank you, Madam President. >> Next would be what you see there is number three. We want to and we've done that to a certain degree and that is confirmed that our executive assistant who by the way our executive assistants I'll just make mention of this are former executive assistants to superintendent um which really does help with the support with uh Mrs.
And guess what? She tried to do exactly that. Let's go back to the early 1900s. At that time, people says only boys should fly airplanes. They told girls, "You can't do that. It's too dangerous." But the million says, "Why not me?" She was curious, brave, and adventurous. When she was just seven, she built a roller coaster in her backyard. She climbed trees, wore pants instead of dresses. She wasn't afraid to try new things. That's her story of flying began. In 19 in 1920, Ameilia took her first airplane ride with a pilot, Frank Hawk. When the plane landed, she told herself, "From this moment, I know I have to fly." So she worked hard, took lessons, studied, and never gave up. Soon she broke the world record for the highest altitude flown by a woman. Isn't that incredible? She also became the first woman ever to fly across the Atlantic Ocean all by herself.
Um, so I am gonna sit for this part because the facility study is very encompassing and I'll run you guys through uh just kind of a high level and as we get you know into questions I can run it back and and we can dive as deep as you guys want or just kind of glance through it. But essentially what we do is a partner of ours out of the out of Chicago uh it's a architecture firm. They come in and this is the facility stud. they put together for the North Lawrence School District. So, they sent a team down here or down there uh for it was about just over a week and they hit every aspect imaginable of each of the buildings in the North Florence School District. They looked at some of the high level components um but we looked at, you know, accessories and casework.
Um they will also uh make recommendations to increase school corporation and charter school administrative efficiencies, reduce school corporation charter school administrative costs and improve student outcomes. So obviously that goal will or that that study will be used to u produce legislation for the next cycle of legislation bills whatever that may come to. And so I thought I would share that with everybody just so they understand it. And then just for fun, if you're a Chicago Bears fan, Senate Bill 27 moving the Bears to Hammond, Indiana. So we'll see how that goes. >> Indiana Bears. >> Hammond Bears. >> Hammond. >> Interesting story though, I guess. And I didn't realize this. Hammond, Indiana is where she the Bears start and originated. So yeah, that's where they're >> coming back home where started. So maybe they're coming back home. Never know >> this part of education people >> the amount a billion dollars that Indiana's gonna >> leave us alone.
But in any case, they'll have a good jump start on getting that associate degree before they graduate through that program. and uh Northern Essence was instrumental in helping us get the college early college designation uh because of the uh they worked with us on the uh submitt of the uh planning grant that we submitted to the state.
Near and ourselves but I can share with you after speaking to Mrs. near that we have received the templates some of the information from Linda Harter. Um uh we will begin to create a web page together announcing this information. Uh same thing with number four. We want to make sure that uh uh Mrs. Near is going to provide us uh your email addresses so that we can have constant and consistent um clarification and information to you folks. The next thing is really a very important item that uh was brought forward by your uh teachers president and that is discuss the use of input from the board, the community, staff groups, stakeholders and the online survey results in the development of what we call the profile or position profile. That's particularly important because once we collect all of the stakeholder input from a wide variety of sources, and we'll go to a template in a couple of seconds, that information is compiled um and provided for your approval prior to us actually publicizing that or utilizing that position description in order to obtain interest on different people who might be interested in the position.
Can you imagine flying alone in a tiny plane, through wind, through clouds, and only the stars to guide you? That takes courage. That's Amelia, an inspiring woman, a true hero. She once says, "The most effective way to do it is to do it. Stop waiting for it and go for it. Once you choose to be brave, you just keep going because the most difficult thing is the decision to act. The rest is just tenacity. Now, let's stop and think for a moment. Have you ever been told you're too small or too young or not strong enough? Have you ever been told you can't? Amelia taught us how to be ground breakers. People told her that she couldn't fly by herself, but she answered, "Never interrupt someone. Think something you say couldn't be done." That means when people say you can't do something, show them you can.
So in classroom with desks and chairs and they looked at ceiling tiles and lighting um their electric infrastructure, their HVAC infrastructure, all the plumbing they were on the roof. So it basically just a whole encompassing what is the current condition of this building. Um and so from there, you know, this is just a a summary of all the different buildings they went through. Um to get a little more detail, we can pull up the high school. So in let me just make sure my filters are right. Yeah. So within the high school, uh this this pie chart is more of a visual aid to kind of help you get through all of the information here. Um because I mean if you just clicked on the high school alone and try to scroll through over 10 years, you'd get lost. So one of the things we can look at, you know, we can dive a little bit deeper into the mechanical work at the high school.
>> How much is that billion dollars? Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Okay. That's all I have. >> All right, Tim. You have anything? >> Um, I just have to follow up. You should be aware that when they say the word administrative cost, that doesn't always mean what people assume it means. I think they include support staff, they include other staff that aren't considered administrative. So, it it conflates it all. It is such a mess. So, >> and they already did an administrative study. Nothing came out of it. because the study proved that actually there was so um we're on the tip of our testing season. So nothing really official report just I read's coming up SAT days are coming up and then after spring break so that's all coming up and Saturday morning is a high school robotics tournament at Northfield. So have a chance if you got some time Saturday morning to buy see some pretty cool robots that uh our teams our high school kids in design competing against other high schools.
So those articles that really was any questions on either of those articles uh either the ice or the northernics Please >> Mr. um here um you mentioned one um it's academic and you mentioned one shop which is medical >> medical health. >> Is there any opportunity to do other shop because I know we have a lot of shops that >> northern also has um classes so will those be considered to start this whole program? >> So the health It's going to be a pilot program to see where the challenges are and then once we can see where the challenges are because uh one other strong program uh that they have uh a lot of uh coursework that aligns to us is the >> you answer my question the public safety >> it's going to be done as a pilot and then from there we'll see the others.
the um input sessions themselves. One of the things that's important um is again that you will in a moment um affirm who we want to speak to and you are going to have most likely others that you're going to add to this template or to this list. But the position description and we would able again to get this from Mrs. Near a narrative of the community in the district is also included. We not only think that the characteristics and the skill set and the experiences of what you desire most in the next superintendent is important, but also a description of the district and a description of the community. It provides a much better narrative or example for anybody who might be interested in the position. It might already be available on your website. So, we also are going to require a salary range. We can discuss that a little bit further.
Ameilia didn't stop dreaming of being up in the sky. In 1937, she began her greatest adventure, flying around the world. Sadly, her plane disappeared before she finished. But her story didn't end there. She remembered in books, museums, and hearts around the world because she never stopped reaching for the sky. Amelia shows us that girls can fly, boys can dream, everyone can do anything. So from now on, let's be like Amelia. Be bold, be brave, be curious, look up, and go. Because as Amelia said, adventure is worthwhile itself. Thank you. [applause] Well, there you go. Right. There you go. Next up in our third through sixth grade division, Natalya Lang from Courtzill. HI. [applause] That good? So, tell everybody your name, where you're from, what grade, and who you're representing tonight. >> My name is Natalyia Lang. I'm from Courtz Hill and I'm in fifth grade and doing Dolly Parton.
So now here we go. So over the next um and this filter goes all the way up to I think it's 2050. You can go as high as low as you want because what >> our intent is with this tool is it's not a view it and forget it. It is a view it, update it, add to it as you work through getting these building upgrades using it as like a highle tracker of hey all right we did a new roof at X building well now in 2029 we have to look at the control systems and maybe we have to go through and replace a bunch of thermometers or you know if we want to oops let's go back to something you know if we want to take a look at our electrical well okay the current state of Bedford was a little different in that a lot of things probably need to happen, you know, within the next couple years.
>> They had one last weekend at the elementary and there was about 40 teams there. So it was pretty pretty busy. >> Yeah. That's it. All right. Appreciate you guys the information you guys bring to our meetings. We'll move on to new business. >> Okay. So, a few weeks ago I said we weren't going to have >> before I even brought it up. >> Redo. >> Yes. Take two on this one. So, the issue was that Dr. Coon's name was not addressed in the corporate authorization resolution that we that you guys uh approved two weeks ago. So, the bank didn't know what to do with it. So, it didn't specifically say please remove his name. And then in the part where it says these people are the signers, his name was not on there either. So, this one adds Southwood Elementary's new uh ECA treasurer, Adrien Gomez, and myself to the account, removes Kristen Cunningham, and Dr.
Thank you. Okay, I don't see any public participation from the superintendent. Uh, so I I submitted a letter and I'm going to just read a uh a opening statement before we discuss it or vote on it, whichever you want. Uh so uh you did you have received uh my letter requesting the resention of my resignation and the opportunity to continue serving as superintendent director of greater Lawrence Technical School. I firmly believe that this moment in our school's history calls for continuity, stability and experienced leadership. Greater Lawrence Technical School is not in transition. We are in a high impact implementation phase across academic career and technical education operations. We are executing uh foundational and transformation transformation work. We're implementing implementing districtwide curriculum alignment in mathematics ELA and science strengthening co-eing practices advancing MTSS and datadriven instructional systems implementing equitable grading and completing our first full year of power school integration.
Um, not necessarily here right now, but that's required by law. Now, in terms of a position description that we have a salary range that is available for people who might be interested in the position, as I mentioned, the majority of the board members, that's the third bullet under number five, uh, need to review and respond to the position description. It simply needs to be a consensus on the part of the board that we could move forward to utilize and use that position description um to send it out and advertise accordingly. Also, uh we have a leadership associates website. We have a website in which we blast out any open position to approximately 1,500 users. Now that does not necessarily mean that that person or who'sever looking at it is the right match and fit. But my point simply is is we do send that out.
Well, hello everybody. I'm Dolly Parton. I was born Well, hello everybody. My name is Dolly Parton. I'm a country music artist, actress, and philanthropist. I'm 80 years young and the fourth oldest of 12 siblings. I was born January 19th, 1946 in a small one room log cabin in Locust Ridge, Tennessee. My first job was as a singer. I started on local radio when I was 10. I was scared, but I had to sing and I love to do it. Everyone loved my voice and that's how I started my singing career. I'm also an actress and my very first acting job was when I was 33 in the movie 925, which was where I played Dory Rhodess. I I I got the role because the producer, Jane Fonda, approached me because of my popularity and that they needed a country singer for the part. I also wrote a theme song for that movie, which later became one of my biggest hits.
But as you get into roofing, >> uh let's see where was >> you could also select the like just component. >> I'm just going to go back here. >> So let's go down. And kind of what we did with the board too is they they chose what they wanted to focus on. Looked at all the components and said, "You know what? We want safety. We want HBC, Mechanical, Electrical." So they selected about five things instead of having so much. So we So selected those and it really tightened it down. So that now you can work through it too. >> Yeah. Yeah. So as Dennis said, I mean, you can filter by each of these different concepts. Like if you want to come back to, you know, top summary and you want to only look at the roofing in your district over the next 10 years.
