Thank you, Chair. >> Because I have a followup. I think she I have a followup. Okay. So of the of the fair share um how old are these projects that have this fair share? >> Um they they can have been around for some time like um you know we talked around uh core ridge and peely were approved through the land use commission you know quite a while ago. So the phase two of Capo High School, the Kalei Elementary School, those are according to the audit were part of the fair share $8 million. Is that some of the monies you're talking about as well? >> Fair share money. Yes. >> But these projects are old. >> Yeah, cuz they don't they don't get built until there's a need for them because the projects are not fully built and so there are is not a demand for school.
Um, but she shares an office wall with me now and she's just always there. She's working hard. She's she carries every core value that we want here at Blue Ridge. So, Alexis Vito. >> All right. Now, Miss Butler um is going to do our volunteer of the month. >> All right. So, at the beginning of the year, Miss Kim came to me. She said, "I just got back from a volleyball game, and our girls in the higher grades were struggling with some skills. Can I take some of your kids and just do a little skills clinic with volleyball?" And I said, "Absolutely. anything we can do to to help our sports teams as they get older. So she volunteers every Wednesday for so we we had signups and signups were like she had this many spots and they were gone within a day. They were super fast gone and people were asking afterwards.
>> Opposed the same. Motion carries. Thank you. Any other business come before the board? Anyone wish to step up to the microphone and address the board? Melissa, >> right? Well, first of all, thank you for fan students and Mrs. Myers. You know, I love you. Dear friend to me now. Anyway, walk down the hall for the first time at the ground ceremony. I'm about tears senior man. Just brought back a lot of memories. love music program here in town and very proud. >> Thank you to Greenboro Methodist next time and Kappa for their donation and thank you for putting the extra line on their pest and requested what those things are specifically for. I appreciate that. Um the big service situation is is disheartening but um totally understand why and thank you for um these emails. And Stephanie as I remember there was a lot of bookkeeping involved with the program.
So, when I budget, you know, obviously I have to look at the revenue I think I'm going to bring in from property taxes and from state tuition support. Those are the two big buckets for the ed and the ops funds. And I just kind of work from there with cash balance and you know, it's it's I don't like to say it's a guessing game. It's it's a but a lot of it remember when we budget on a calendar year and we operate in a fiscal year, the state doesn't make it very easy for me um because ADM happens well after I budgeted. So, I have no idea what's going to happen with the ADM, which is one of the reasons that we do our demographic studies, things like that. Try to see trends. Obviously, you guys know our trend has been in the last few years our ADM has been going down.
Thank you so much. >> Great. Um, thank you and thank you everybody for your comments. Um we're going to move on with our agenda now. Um the next thing on our agenda is um David Kinsman, uh decisions at every turn. So uh I don't actually have a report to make. The uh the next decisions, this month's decisions uh uh at a return meeting is actually scheduled for tomorrow night. So we haven't had a meeting yet. Um but I will gladly report on it uh to the board at our next meeting. >> Great. Thank you. Um, next thing on our agenda is the health director's report. Draj, you're up. >> Thank you, Chief. Uh, so first on our food establishment, uh, GO167, that's the old Murphy's. Uh, we did have an application from them. Uh, they've been closed for some time doing renovations. Uh, all the application is complete.
Yeah. But we are asking for funding in in this uh supplement to budget for three schools. Right. So >> So which three? >> Um so planning um the Camtry school replacement school and um Capo. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So the others that have received fair share contribution the money just sits there >> until we need it. Yes. So, so some of these schools is from 2002, 2010. Portables for schools 20ou 2010. So, what if the money is just sitting there? You're not utilizing it. Why wouldn't we why wouldn't we we take the money >> then? Then we wouldn't have it to build the school when we need >> enough to build the school already, right? Some of these monies are not even enough to build a school. What you got? A million dollars. I don't know if this is 6 million or $6,000. So for Kama Kamali East Elementary School, you had a million dollars.
Can we sign up? Can we sign up? And we have a waiting list wanting to to be with this girl. So, um, she took the sixth grade and she's been working every Wednesday with the sixth grade and I got to play with them the other day. It was pretty fun. I might have to put my tennis shoes on and come more often and play with them. But, um, so every Wednesday she works with these kids and she started a fifth grade group on Tuesdays. So, she that was so successful with the sixth graders that she she took it upon herself to do a Tuesday group with with the fifth graders. So, we're grateful for her. Um, so we I asked around and these are some words that some some people had to say about this this fine community member. Um, she also helps out with track.
So thanks for all the time and effort you guys have taken over the years. Um it's I don't want you to be gone, but I'm glad that we're getting our subs back. We did a fantastic job a lot of time. It's pretty seamless, I think. Yeah. So, um fortunate for that. And then we got what one, two weeks. Not anyone's counting down the days, right? Carol. Well, I just want to say thank you, Mrs. Mars, for having your students come in with their fine performance tonight. They're doing a good job. And just want to thank administrator, staff, and everybody for all the hard work they do. And that's about it. Monica. >> Yeah, I'd like to say the same thing. Mrs. Meyer, thank you. We always enjoy seeing the kids and all the different projects and they come through. Um, and I feel like this is an exciting time of year.
We're hoping to correct that. It's a a sign in the spring um through our virtual academy and things like that that we're picking up our students. Again, in my opinion, that's why it's the number so low at 16. That's a fantastic sign when we've been looking at 40, 50 kids in the spring ADM, seeing it go down. So, that's a positive trend in my mind and I'm hopeful we'll see that go positive in the next couple of years in terms of ADM. I don't know if that answers everything that you wanted with that, Tony, or And and I'm happy to get together with any board member to go over how I budget individual items and things like that. And the board will see those numbers shift, like you're going to see probably as soon as next month my anticipated revenue in terms of what I'm budgeting, that will probably go down from the $29 million.
Only one thing was missing is the information for the new hood they're going to be installing. Uh, they'll be sending that to us. Other than that they are good with us. U and hopefully they'll be opening soon. The other one is New York Pizza is the old location of Pizza Bella. Uh Tom been out in one time you know he have done a preoping inspection had some uh uh stuff to be addressed. I guess he's going back on this Friday uh to my understanding. I guess there was an email exchange this this afternoon. So we'll be addressing that and hopefully they are open back soon as well. Uh next is uh our uh second MRC stop the bleeding training uh that we are doing at the town hall tomorrow. Uh there are uh 12 people signed for that. Uh it's from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
In FY205 2005, you got $993,000. And then in FY2010, 6,000 or that's could be I don't think that's 6 million. doesn't tell me. But that's not even enough. >> That's correct. The fair share supplements the the CIP ask that we would come in with. >> So we talking about a million dollars sitting there >> until it's ready to be developed. >> So when do you think come elementary is going to be developed? >> I don't have a prioritization list in front of me, but I can get back to you on that. >> Okay. Well, I think you need to make a better case as to where all these monies are sitting and when can we expect to build it because at some point if they're not expected to get built then what if what happens to the funds? >> It's there until we need it.
So, she's a coach there. Um, she helps out with PTSO. Whenever there's anything that needs to be done with PTSO, she's there. She helps out. She is any This was This was one of your co-workers. One of my co-workers said, "Any function, she is there. Any field trip, she is there. She's reliable. She always has your back. Um, she's willing to take on more even though her load is already full. Um, she goes above and beyond and she makes the world's best cinnamon rolls. So, just a fun fact. So, Kim Surles Like Mr. Roloff said, this is the best part of the board meeting is when we get to recognize the students, the volunteers, and the teachers and the staff that u make what we are what we are. And totally and uh forever grateful for the people that dedicate their time and their talents to the Blige School District.
It's also the time of year where everything starts to get really busy and really crazy. So, um, thank you and keep going. Uh, appreciation is always to Stephanie Madison for continuing to do financial work that uh, you wouldn't want to see how I do financial work. It it's it's not pretty. Uh, hopefully accurate, but just not pretty. Uh, appreciation to all the staff, all the parts of the different schools and the curriculums and the and the classes. Great great work. Appreciate it. Uh thank you to the contributors of the two churches and Triappa. Um they're those kind of contributions so show a community interest that we don't normally get. That's that's and lastly but most certainly not leastly the music teacher bad music teacher. Those kids are good. Uh, you may not. What's the detail? When I listen to music, I listen to my eyes closed because I want to hear exactly the girl in the pink sweater.
I constantly am updating the budget. So, I just try to keep the numbers as close as I can to where I budgeted for the state cuz I can't spend over that $28 million without coming to the board. Actually, it would be Steve coming to the board saying, "Hey, we need to appropriate a little more funds to spend in Ed or Ops." I don't ever want to have to put Steve in that position cuz that makes me look bad. So, we'll keep our spending under that $28 million. And again, also for the board, remember that I decreased both of the budgets from last year. Last year in the education fund, we're at 28.9. So, I shaved off $900,000 there. Again, all anticipating what the state is doing to us in funding. We've got to be proactive in terms of our budget. Um just came back from a great conference today.
tomorrow. I'm sorry. I don't know where we're getting that background noise. Uh and then uh then the MRC shelter training. I did uh forward a email to the board just now. Uh there is a there's a training our MRC uh unit is coordinating on on shelters. Uh that's actually NATIC on April 1st uh from 9 to 1:00 p.m. almost 12 p.m. If any of the board member can attend, I'll highly appreciate that. Uh so it's it's about like you know different kind of uh shelters that we set up like you know temporary shelter, overnight shelter or anything like that you know. So that's that's for that. Um I I was on a title five seminar from SD MOA this afternoon in Holio. Uh we discussed wide uh range of topics. U one was uh management of landfill along with you know other septic staff you know so I attended that uh the Boston marathon uh on April 20th I I know some board members have uh earlier u interest uh shown interest to attend uh this year I won't be here for the marathon but uh our nurse and will be taking the lead you know so if any board member can attend I'll appreciate you know so if one or two can attend that'll be You know last week we we did uh last Wednesday we did had our citizens academy where we have presented about our uh department functioning board of health functioning in front of 15 um Ashland citizens who are part of the citizen academy this year.
>> Yeah. But if you never need it or you never build it because you do you take it and put it to some other school? >> No, you cannot do that under the fair share program. >> So, it's going to just sit there forever and ever. even though there's a school that might need it, it's just going to sit there >> until we take it. >> Based on the agreement for um the proportionate share of the school, based on the impact of the project at the time, there is going to be some forecasted need. And when that need arises because the project has built their development and because they knew that there was a school coming up as part of their fair share agreement and the environmental documents that they're doing and the permitting it's properly infrastructured which is also important part of the fair share program is that people think about the future need for a school.
Uh the next item on the agenda is um an overview and presentation of our CTE programs. And Matt Weber is here. He we'll turn time over to him for a presentation. >> Appreciate that. >> Well, good evening. It's so good to be here with you. Appreciate you fitting me in here.

She She's ready for some big time. >> Okay. uh the other other vocalist just equally as good and the two soloists. It's kind of t I would I don't play a music instant but I imagine it's kind of tough to go in there and do it into a 30 section and then cut it out 30 seconds later but French horn right on the Yes. Wow. Oh, and and I think I'll I'll put in I'll draft a policy that the uh your students can compose a school board march and they can be over there playing and they'll play us in and then they'll take our seats. Can Can we do that? Well, it was an idea. I just Myers for your teaching and your uh building up students confidence.
I attended several financial and that was the talk, you know, what's going to happen with funding. And that's not just Indiana, that's a nationwide conference we attended. Every state is in the same position when it comes to public education. They are budgets are being slashed and many schools dealing with RIFs, you know, reductions in their their teaching force. And uh I'm just thankful we're not in that position at DeKalb and I will always be proactive when I budget to make a line item for savings >> [clears throat] >> and to pad our cash balances. >> Thanks, Mark. >> Yep. >> Any further discussion?
