>> Um I want to echo just a couple things Billy said. First off, I did meet with Tom Nolan after the January 28th meeting. Tom, thank you very much for your time. It was very informative because I had a lot of questions about the the dollars and cents and you you cleared that up. Um I also came away from the January 28th meeting. We have to do something for the police. There's no doubt about it. Now whether that's you fill in the basement of the existing building with cement somehow getting rid of that make it one level out of port I don't know if that would work but if you have to build a new building uh for the police that that needs to be done one way shape or form my objection is the second floor I would venture it would cost more than a third of of that total dollar figure you do not need an auditorium for meetings.

A purchase requisition must be submitted with signed student council minutes authorizing the expense. Then services may be obtained with an approved purchase order. So student activity uses purchase orders just like we do when we buy a $217,000 bus like we did last year. So it's very tightly managed and Charlie assists and trains people all the time with student activity because all the sports you can see lots of people have student activity funds and programs. So, tremendous staff support and I think adequate district office support and thanks to the community for supporting the fundraisers that the students go out and do. >> Questions? >> No, but I am glad that that's >> Yeah, that's something a lot of districts get in trouble. >> Yeah, we try to be really >> Yeah. >> Thank you. Okay. Well, then moving on, we're going to go to our consent agenda.

Um again, not significant, but still it's a change. of those 55 students, 47 of those students are at the high school level with eight of those at the um six through eight level. Uh and right now when we think about the current virtual, it's really for a specific reason. If they're going into virtual and we really are kind of the gatekeepers to that, it's kids with certain medical needs um and that we have a medical note from a doctor or it's and we're looking at like an alternative to an expulsion. So maybe there's a discipline piece that um we're saying okay it was significant but we still want them to continue their education in a virtual environment as a safer environment for the time being. So why we have to look at that number is the state of Indiana the DOE says any time if you hit a 100 students you have to open up your own school.

So, what we proposed was and everybody came to the agreement was we will not have home room on Wednesdays. Um, which will then allow us to get that time back to 45 minutes. So, what this really does throughout the entirety um of the school year is keep us at a more balanced time in class. You're only losing five minutes on that late start day instead of losing 10 like we were uh previously. So, just wanted to get this in front of you. Know that um that all the teachers were on board with this, all the all the staff and administration 6 through 12. Just wanted to get that in front of you tonight. Um that that that positive change is coming for our kids and and our teachers.

There's a team of people that are helping them. I'm super proud of our middle schools. I know the same pieces are happening in elementary where as we start to see clusters of kids with a deficit for a specific standard. It may be the science teacher who says I I can do that math. I'll I'll teach that piece. It may be the math teacher who says I read pretty well and I can help them. And so kids are being helped by a large number of people. What these new reports do for us though is it pins it down enough that we can figure out what it is all those people can do to help us because at one point we were just kind of spreading kids around and saying these are low kids. So you help them low and these are high kids. So how you know and I taught kids one time how to set a table because they were high kids.

But I have it all ready to go. Um, uh, I just have to have the resolution passed. Um, and it's been, I think our teachers would tell you, our administrative team would tell you, um, that it's been very beneficial. Nothing is worse than doing I mean back in the day we would do early release days or we would do um days where teachers still had to be uh have virtual learning or e-learning and so we can't focus like by the time you do an early release day by the time you get everybody on a bus inevitably several kids parents forget their kids there kids don't get home you're well past 1:00 and you can only keep them till three and you know by the end of the day and all that's happened. You're stressed. Your mind's not here. This allows our teachers to come in and have a full day of professional development.

Any discussion? Gasby legal assistance fund >> that did go up slightly there. As you can see, again, historical knowledge there, but again, it's very important to be able to have our administrators be able to contact the the legal people at KB for any things that come up that we need to have dealt with. >> Motion to approve the legal assistant fund renewal in the amount of 3,100 >> second discussion [clears throat] >> [snorts] [clears throat] >> approval listing agreements.

What are we doing here? This this uh building was renovated as a school to increase its use as a community center. I would urge that any public meeting, whether it's five people or 50 people or 500 people, be held at the school. A new auditorium or meeting room on the second floor of a brand new building for the police to me is a waste of taxpayers money. The other part admin services I think it was mentioned as about what 6,000 square feet on the top. Is that right? >> Yes. >> Something like that. So if you take away the auditorium and the meeting rooms and whatnot, you're left with about three because it's about 45 50% of the top floor and it and you don't need the elevators, you don't need the stairway if you don't have a second floor. Okay. There's a building right next to the town hall that's advertising 3,000 square feet of office space available.

It has to be a standalone school because currently these 55 students are still students of middle school southwest North and Avon High School. But if you hit a hundred you have to open up a school. Now we're at 55 now, but these numbers sometimes pick up in the spring um you know just because um with things that happen in in school and at the high school level. Um so there's been years we've been really close to 100 and that always gets us a little anxious. Um the other and again and the other pieces we're looking at that number of students leaving a leaving Avon to pursue uh virtual uh education elsewhere. Our current partner is Indiana Online and that's through the Central Indiana Education Service Center. They are not a standalone accredited school. They're really a provider. They're a nonforprofit and so we partner with them.

Uh this is something that they did last year that was um it was a career fair that was at the airport last year in Lowensport and this year um they did it at Pioneer. Well, so when at the beginning at the start of this they came and sat down with me and I'm like oh this is a great idea. let's have our whole school do something. And I got some desk stairs um from everybody because it was a lot of work. And I will tell you this, the crazy idea had um these two ladies over here as long as well as Amy Ton took it and blew it out of the water. Um our kids had a fantastic day. Um staff got a chance to build some relationships as well as look at some different careers that maybe they weren't um weren't weren't aware of.

That didn't help them become above proficient. They didn't learn how proper etiquette but it didn't help them with their test scores at all. So, I I think you're correct that that we're helping kids in a more individualized way. I don't think it's a nightmare to do that. Um, I think it's a a better use of our resources and more proactive thinking about what it is that we can do. I will also say that Mr. Allen started to say, "Are we just teaching to the test?" And then Chuck went on on his dance, right? And he quoted me, so I'm going to quote me again. Um, I taught a IEP test once upon a time when I was teaching seventh grade social studies and I've taught a lot of AP classes and I've come to understand that if I as a teacher really really understand the test well, I know what the kids are going to be tested on, I can buy back a lot of instructional time to do the things the kids like, the things that I like, the things I think they should know because I'm being very, very prescriptive in what I need to it done for the test.
