based upon your approval right yeah okay they are they're up for approval tonight yes thank you thank you thank you i will briefly share that on friday the 22nd the business advisory group met as a group we had a overview of our strategic plan in its final draft a conversation about the proposed calendar revisions which is also on our list this evening in addition to a covid update and very cool previews for our november meeting so i can't wait so you'll have to wait for my november report and thank you mr grimes for mentioning the conference i too found it very interesting the the president speakers that we had about uh digital media were very thought provoking as well as the importance of personalized learning experiences which was a wonderful affirmation for everything that we do here in bcsc and i found all of the sessions that i attended very helpful i mean useful and i concur with mr grimes i have a much better appreciation for construction manager as can contractor after sitting through it it just takes me more than once to get get it as complex as that is for me anyway right anyone else okie dokie we are on to cabinet reports and mr phillips good evening thank you dr shet i'm going to embed the adm update in the financial report so you'll hear a number update there just as part of the the financial report this is our quarter three financial report um this is a visual of our revenues in the three major tax supported funds through the end of the third quarter on the education fund side there at the top you can see that we finally in 2021 passed the 2020 year miscellaneous revenues in that fund are actually down for this year mainly because of interest income but in july on july 1st the new state support amount went into effect and so that's why we have now passed 2020 for the education fund revenues also starting in november our new adm should take effect there and we are up approximately 126 students over the prior year the last couple of meetings i've taken a an educated guess at about 120 and we ended up at about 126 with a fraction in there as well we always have fractions of students somehow but we would expect that to continue to grow in 2021 compared to the prior year on the operations fund side the increase in revenue this year over the prior year is almost 100 from transfers from the education fund and miscellaneous revenues tax collections in the operation fund's property tax collections are basically flat over the prior year and the referendum fund is exactly as would be expected with the tax rate being uh being flat on the expenditure side uh this is the education fund salaries so far for this year are up just about 1.3 percent over the prior year but the added staff uh in the fall and in august just you know just hit the payroll in the august payrolls as a matter of fact it was the last payroll in august and any teacher increases in retro pay won't hit until november again pending your approval of the collecting collective bargaining agreement this evening all other categories are as would be expected compared to prior year as well as on track for this year on the operations side salaries are up nearly eight percent over 20 20 and that's because um we were able to staff up um particularly compared to 2020 you know we had a lot of positions that we just didn't fill during 2020 as we were shut down for a good part of the year so we're back up to full staffing in 2021 as well as the nine percent support staff increase to the salary schedule to the salary matrix for support staff members that started on july 1st the other category is a little interesting this year we budgeted you all budget approved a budget for 21 that was about 20 i'm sorry 2 million dollars in cpf projects across the district small improvement projects repairs and those kinds of things and so that's one of part of that but nick would tell you that our the cost for technology continues to grow with supply chain issues uh and and just our demand in other school district demand for technology so a lot of that other category growth in this current year over prior years comes from we need more devices and there they cost more money on the operating referendum side everything is tracking exactly as we would expect at this point in the year and just a an update this is a slide i started a couple of quarters ago just to show you where our operating referendum dollars are going and the impact of those dollars so you can see uh almost 550 teachers have averaged just over five thousand dollars in experience increases through the third quarter that on top of the other teachers 218 that didn't qualify for those experience increases that received a stipend back in january more than a thousand support staff members averaged 837 dollars in additional pay through the end of september and then our safety and security budgets have been fully fulfilled for this calendar year as we have ordered buses and paid some of the quarterly invoices for school resource officers and were it not for operating fund revenues we would have spent 8.5 percentage points less in salaries in 2021 and so thanks to those uh those referendum dollars that's compared to our education and operation fund expenditures on salaries compared to where we would have been otherwise and last this is just a projection of the month end balances actuals and then you can see the prior year compared to this year everything's tracking almost very similar to as it as it would have last year the only thing that i'll point out to you a couple of uh of highlights there is that obviously we needed the taxi anticipation warrants and the operation operating referendum fund we had no money to start the year um and we probably will go forward with a tax anticipation warrant there next year next board meeting will bring a resolution to you for approval and then just looking at the the health and dental trust this evening our we do have a positive this year year so far this year compared to a couple of years ago and so this is two years in a row but we still are seeing cost of prescription drugs driving our costs up and we usually track up at the end of the year with expenditures compared to the beginning of the year as people hit their out-of-pocket maxes and those kinds of things and so we do have a recommendation for you later for an increase in health premiums and then and actually a decrease in the dental premiums as we've reached somewhere in the neighborhood of 60 of annual expenditures in the cash sitting in the dental fund and that's you know where our target for health is and so 60 percent in that deal dental fund which is a much lower um you know amount of money in general it flows through that fund but that's just an update on the uh the health and dental for you happy to answer any questions you might have thank you are there questions that individuals have what what drives it looks like a trend in june june we see operations fund go up significantly as that but bus spend over the summer is that building work that occurs over the summer but last year and this year we see an increase at that month it's exactly um it's summer work so a lot of the facilities work while they get as much as they can during the course of students being in the building during june and july a lot of those projects that we have budgeted for the year you know little five thousand to twenty five thousand dollar projects to improve our facilities a lot of that gets done in the summer we order a lot of the technology in the summer and sometimes it's also bus order when we order the billion and a half dollars worth of buses and then on the technology piece how do we recycle our laptops do you guys do like a power sweep and you do all the schools at one time or you do rotate schools what's the process we use to update technology and i'm going to jump on a related question is there any thought with the troubles in the supply chain of trying to extend the life cycle of what we've got now so i can address most of those um the our all of our student devices are on a four year rotation so every first grader fifth grader and ninth grader gets a new device um and really we recycle them yes uh after so many years but the old chromebooks that we've kept up and then hung onto really kept us alive during the pandemic and are still helping us and they're seven-year-old devices we do find that chrome will time out their updates so we have to it's kind of like apple or any any device now they'll just stop supporting a device after a certain time so they kind of make you update and we can't we can't keep on to them very long so we do try to do that the the orders this year we actually already have in and we actually are going to put them in storage um just anticipating the increased demands and still knowing that there's chip shortages and a lot of other pieces of the device that are on back order nick do you want a second job as a material planner for a nice little factory south of town i could use some help getting some chips i'm trying to recruit our technology director and miss wielden mr phillips you gave a quick update on the uh adm count and i i wasn't writing things down could you run through those numbers for us again sure we're up 126 over the prior year and i will send we'll probably do a in the next friday note i'll give you some detail you know grade by grade building by building breakdown this year is unusual in that we have 475 close to 500 students who are cvp this year and so comparing apples to apples and looking at how many students are in southside elementary for example compared to the prior year it's hard to compare those when you have a certain number of kids that have chosen the virtual option and so we're going to try to organize that well for you visually and then send that to you in a friday no but up 126 students over the prior year it's a good trend and it's bucking the trend that you see in some other districts particularly since we were up last year which was a surprise during the covet issue and related topic you've talked at previous meetings about a future oriented demographic study where are we in that process still looking at january for that and so we have engaged with a demographer and she is working on with census data and the data that we send her and she'll probably have something ready for us in january and i can't remember does she when we order a demographic study are they able to drill down and come up with numbers that would help in terms of school planning you know this this school is going to be more used the school's going to be less used they do school by school using our district maps do projections using those thank you awesome thank you very much mr phillips mentioned a friday note so we will have friday nights again now next not this friday but the following was at november 5th i think and just to add on to that i know dr bozeman has also prepared one there was a question at a board meeting in terms of uh air quality control and as a mitigation strategy for covet 19 and so we'll send you a list of the various things that have been done and are ongoing in regards to that air air quality all right i don't this is close to the longest list i don't i don't know what alphabet has has the winner but here we are um we are asking for approval of items a through n as they are presented to us so first i'll ask for a motion for approval oh do you want to go through let me run through them okay so make sure that yeah that will give you some time thanks appreciate that so yes the doctor said indicates there are quite a few again uh so many of these tied to the public hearings that you've been having and the renovations and just trying to accumulate the the right dollars to be able to move forward with those i able to summarize very quickly looking at the list you have it's a through and a through e are the typical things i want to go through the slides here but i think this is just important even for anybody and everybody here so those are almost always going to be on there but f through j are tied to renovations and we've had public hearings in prior conversations a number of times on those renovations so a lot of information already out there and then letter k is adopting the 2022 budget you've had two meetings public meetings to talk about that budget and and receive detail from mr phillips the revisions to the three-year calendar you had a detailed uh report from dr pleek uh last last school board meeting uh some kind of a first reading of that that change the collective bargaining agreement which is letter m you have had two meetings about that topic as well that are now statutorily required and then the health dental plan premiums were just referenced and dr bill's had a chance to attend to that meeting so just just wanting to put that out there in terms of how things are grouped together and the fact that most of the stuff on here you've had a chance to dialogue about publicly in the last two to three to four meetings actually so a through d is on the screen here minutes of the regular school board meeting of the 27th a public hearing meeting on the 28th tied to collective bargaining and a special schoolboard meeting october 19th tied to collective bargaining supplemental contracts field trips as we actually don't have any of those in your packet and then school fundraisers letter e is claims in payroll each time the claims for today the 25th are a little over a million dollars the pre-run that covered october 1st through friday the 22nd is over fourteen and a half million dollars the payroll is about five point eight million dollars and is two different ones one from september 24th to cover the work days of august 30th through september 12th normal payroll did include experience pay somebody some additional dollars for some of our support staff members and then the payroll on october the 8th covered the work days of september 13th through september 26th it was normal there was nothing additional in that payroll the other things uh letters uh f again through j tying back to all this renovation stuff so refinancing central middle school bonds and then 2021 lease rental bonds four different items there resolutions that we're asking you to approve and i think a lot of signatures after the board meeting for for you at least some of you and then we're asking for the adoption of the 2022 budget that mr phillips has approved has shared with you asking for your approval the three-year calendar that doctor pleak indicated and again just a quick summary on that three-year calendar some tweaks to the beginning and ending of the calendar so for example instead of starting on friday starting on thursday so it's a day change there that then changed in the first semester beginning the second semester into the second semester but then the professional development days that we received a waiver from the state board of education recent state legislative action allowed us to file a waiver to count our year and number of hours instead of number of days we're trying to take advantage of it and have some professional development days for staff full days that's in that calendar change the collective bargaining agreement was has been rolled out on a couple of different occasions and information shared now publicly even through the media as well as administrator contracts included in that recommendation to you and then approval for the health dental plan premiums for the 2022 plan year as mr phillips indicated kind of a plus and a minus there so a recommendation for a and decrease of five percent and the dental plan an increase of five percent uh on the on the health plan and the changes in in premiums that would be for both the school corporation and and staff members so that letters a through n uh is my list of of approval recommendations this is the calendar forgot we had a slide tag to slide on to the end of this so you can see in yellow the changes uh over the next couple of years professional development day is added second semester monday february 21st and thursday april the 14th will be the near term things and the next school year in the following one those various adjustments to that calendar and hopefully we can set that in stone or at least kind of you never know what might come up that changes things but um at least that's what we'll be looking for for the next three years if this is approved we'll put out a revised calendar for this year in the format that we typically have their school callers and logos and so forth get that on the website and then social media that shows what the new calendar actually now would be so asking for approval of all of those items all right i apologize for jumping the gun having read them all i was like yeah i know these things okay um so i could entertain a motion for approval of items for a through n as they have been presented to us thank you mr bryant is there a second second thank you dr bills does anyone have questions about these items mr grimes yeah while it's up there yeah i've got a question in regards to the three-year calendar uh for dr pleek or whoever they want to answer i i guess you know my question is is is there already a plan in place for future professional development is that still to be considered will that be corporation-wide building-wise and i guess i ask because quite honestly and i understand the concept of banking you know the extra hours to take days for professional development but i guess you know quite frankly my concern is for less student days here as well so yeah that's my question professional development plans for that yeah so so the the challenge revolves around you know professional development period and the opportunities to get that done in a contract that is set and almost 100 of that time from a teacher's standpoint in front of students and so how do we leverage time around that day or add extra times or extra days to that from a contractual standpoint we have about 180 extra hours of time versus the minimum both the secondary and elementary school level so about an hour per day we're going longer so that the challenge of of carving out professional development to link back specifically to our strategic plan in the new strategic plan which we talked about some but on friday with our strategic planning meeting you'll see what that looks like and the specifics behind that some of the strategies programs and methods targets that we're shooting for and taking the professional development schedule over the next two and a half year ten different days to link directly back to that that would be a combination mr grimes of both district-wide initiatives to make sure the foundation of what we're about is is then supporting the work that we're doing as well as then targeting individual buildings and the work that they need to do in those buildings so it will be a combination of those things we will work in conjunction with our teachers association and support staff members because it is not only the teachers that are involved in professional development is all two thousand almost two hundred staff members and they're just as little opportunity to get that accomplished in the current structure that we have and so we are looking at this these two days that we have or asking for in the spring will give us a really good indicator of that success we know that there is a ton of accountability that should be expected from us for this in terms of is the investment of time where we are having students not report to school teachers and all support staff members so two thousand plus members in training is that investment of time then resulting in better outcomes and so that has to be a part of a part of our work and part of our accountability but it does tie back to trying to leverage the opportunity provided and with that opportunity provided by the state legislature can that come back and impact us positively with with professional development we believe it can that's that's the reason for asking for it but but understand definitely your concerns in terms of kids aren't here we have staff here and working working through that and so just to clarify that for everybody's sake if we had 180 student day calendar before next year it's 176 student days the number of hours easily exceeds still the number of minimum hours of instructional time that's required by the state of indiana because of how many hours we have per day but it is to mr grimes point 176 days versus 180.
i really think that this speaks to our continued emphasis on our high academic standards and our academic excellence at carmel high school i also think it speaks to how our students take their studies so seriously and they want to be challenged and we do that each and every day and we're happy to do it and we're fortunate to do it at carmel high school thank you all so very much [Applause] thank you dr harmis and congratulations to all of our scholars we are very excited for you and wish you the very best on the next steps and certainly do hope that you are finalist and i'm assuming dr dr harmis you will share with us the the final list of the finalists fantastic thank you very much next on our agenda we have consent and consent there are several items we've got our personnel report claims payroll we have some gifts that i would like to mention um the patrons of creekside middle school donated over eleven hundred dollars to the performing arts department carmel high school received several gifts first the blackbaud giving fund awarded an eighty dollar grant in the um is a matching grant initiated with duke realty and that went to the orchestra mr john painter donated a champ let's see spectrometer and test tubes to the carmel high school science department and the lacie family charitable lead or annuity trust donated five thousand dollars through wha for chs to use at their discretion and last but not least carmel clay school system received ten thousand dollars donated through the caramel education foundation from the city of carmel the carmel city council for the project lead the way materials and programming in addition to that on our consent agenda we have five different minutes to be approved we have september 13th september 15th september 20th the 21st and september 27th may i get a motion on the table to approve consent so moved second second thank you louise discussion all those in favor of supporting consent signify by saying i i motion carries 5-0 thank you next on the agenda we have action and the first action item is the adoption of the 2022 budgets the capital projects plan and the bus replacement plan and to that we turn to mr mcmichael thank you um these uh budgets and plans were first presented to the school board in august and then at our last meeting on september the 27th there was an advertised public hearing which gave opportunity for public comment and now we're recommending that the board adopt the budget and if the board does so we will then submit it to the state to the department of local government finance and they will review and ultimately approve the budgets which they have to do in order for it to actually become our budget in which case they will do that during late november and december and then these budgets will become current um january 1st thank you mr mcmichael may get a motion on the table to approve the budget the capital projects plan and the budget um bus replacement plan thank you so moved second thank you mike discussion mike roger i i know that the bus replacement plan is a cycle um and how off how frequently do we replace our buses we replace them typically every 12 years and it's a the plan is a five-year plan but they're on a 12-year cycle we're actually reviewing our fleet uh in light of the fact that we are so short on bus drivers we we we have um bus more buses actually now than we need uh given our current state of affairs so we will be considering that um and and we'll likely adjust our replacement plan accordingly so we don't want to do that all in one year and then find that we're able to hire you know a number of bus drivers and then be needing buses but uh but as we we'll we'll include that in our cycle of replacement of buses because then we trade in uh the older buses you know typically you know for the newer ones katie just a follow-up to that but aren't the current buses being used like doing a lot more like because they're doing like multiple routes and everything they are there is some offset certainly in terms of miles because we're we're running additional routes with with the same buses and and uh so um they're not just literally sitting on the lot um because we also you know rotate them from time to time okay thank you oops and we also are looking at replacing with some of the more environmentally friendly buses i know we have one we have one fully electric and some um yeah we have we have several i forget the exact number now but propane buses and and they're available they're not available in the in the large 84 passenger buses at this point in time but we have several of the smaller buses that are propane and we continue to do what we can to be sensitive to the environment and energy efficiency any other questions yes louise yes um i know that some school districts have buses that actually have wi-fi on them do our buses or do we plan to have buses that have wi-fi they don't but we are looking at that and i think it's likely that we'll move in that direction i'm sorry did you i was you said wi-fi but i'm thinking gps yeah i was asking about why yeah no we've not uh we don't have that on our buses at this time okay are there any other questions from the board before we take a vote see no questions we'll move ahead with a vote all those in favor of supporting the adoption of the 2022 budget the capital projects plan and the bus replacement plans to please signify by saying i i motion carries 5-0 next on the agenda we have roger for the transfer to the rainy day fund thank you so we're recommending a transfer of 1.5 million dollars from our operations fund to the rainy day fund for two reasons first we have used the rainy day fund to pay covent stipends to employees and that was at a cost of about 2.2 million dollars and then secondly we have we're recommending and maintaining a cash balance in the rainy day fund which would supplement the cash balance in the education fund and and the local referendum fund we'd like to get the combined balance of all three funds to about 12 percent for years the board's had a a goal of maintaining 8 percent in the education fund and the referendum fund but we'd like to get that a little higher um for two reasons really one is is we when we went you know the experience of the pandemic we we had a need for you know it was a rainy day and we definitely had a need for some additional cash and then secondly standard poor's is the rating agency that rates our bonds they would prefer to see a little higher cash balance and so we think that would also be a good idea because if that has any impact on our bond rating that could mean lots of money to taxpayers in the forms of lower interest on those bonds and so we have sufficient funds in the operation fund to make that transfer thank you roger may get a motion on the table to approve the transfer of 1.5 million dollars for the rainy day fund so moved second second thank you katie discussion see no discussion we'll go ahead and take a vote i'll i'm sorry i missed go ahead mike so roger i just want to appreciate um the fact that we look for our credit rating um and able to see how much money we can save on our capital projects and how quickly we can pay off our debt because of the stewardship that we have for those funds we also are there is a limit is there a statutory limit on the amount that we're allowed to put in that fund in the rainy day fund no there's not a statutory limit in the amount that can go in there is a statutory limit as to uh which is ten percent up to ten percent of all of your other funds that and the first requirement is is it you can transfer money that is as a statute says is unencumbered uh funds which means it's not committed for something else and such would be the case of of monies that we have available in the operations fund thank you any other questions seeing none we will go ahead and take a vote all those in favor of supporting the transfer to the rainy day fund please signify by saying i i any opposed motion carries 5-0 thank you next on the agenda we have the program of studies course changes for 2022-2023 and to that we look to dr dudley thank you so on friday september 17 2021 the curriculum advisory team met to review proposed changes for the 2022-23 carmel high school program of studies in each year this advisory team meets to look at proposed new courses or modifications for courses or possibly deletions and courses and they have the opportunity to listen to the proposed new courses to ask any questions that they might have of these courses and then they they determine and make advisory notes to dr harmis to mrs peale the assistant principal over curriculum and to myself as far as what courses might be recommended to the board for the program of studies for 2022-23 so there are several changes in courses several new courses and some deletions in courses that the curriculum advisory is advising that we would add to the program of studies and we always want to make sure that that program of studies is a very rigorous program of studies that we're continuously looking at the courses looking at the courses students need as far as for their graduation pathways as well as interests of students interest to make sure that we're adding not only rigorous courses but courses that students really are enjoying and also are of a very high level so the business family consumer science and engineering and technology departments are proposing several new courses and several course name changes that will align to the next level program of study and the next level program of study includes a series of career pathways that were developed by the governor's workforce cabinet's career and technical ed office and that's often referred to as cte career and technical way we have several different pathways that we offer currently for at carmel high school and each of these career pathways includes a series of three or four courses that students would complete if they complete the first three courses then they would meet the post-secondary ready competency for those graduation pathways requirements and if they complete the capstone course which is a course that would be in their senior year that they would work with to take those skills and those concepts that they learned and apply it to the real world so this might be including job shadowing internships where they're going out and really applying what they've learned that's that capstone course if they complete a capstone course then that also meets the requirement of demonstrating employability skills another requirement for graduation so as i said we have several different pathways seven of those pathways are have some changes to them for example in the accounting pathways there are some changes that are required for the next level program of studies the first one is the principles of management of business management that is a new course that we are recommending to be adopted and included and then to complete that pathway students would take that first then they would take accounting fundamentals which is a current course but there is a name change to align with the pathways course advanced accounting and then the accounting capstone would be a new course the next pathway that they're recommending changes for is in the marketing pathway so the first one would be the principles of business management and that is the same course that students would take if they were going through the accounting pathway and then the marketing fundamentals which is a current course digital marketing is a third year level course that it would be a new course and then business management capstone would be also a new course the next pathway would be and principles of teaching that is a new course that we are proposing then the education professionals and this is where this pathway is where our students where we have cadet teachers in the classroom so students that are working in this pathway you may see them in our elementary schools in our middle schools that they get that real hands-on learning right in our own classrooms so the educational professions is a current course but there's a title change the education and professions b is also a current course which is a title change and then the education professions capstone that is a new course that we are proposing that would offer even more hands-on learning in our classrooms the next pathway is a pathway where we have early childhood education the first course is principles of early childhood that is a current course but with a title change to align with the next level pathways the early childhood education a over curriculum that is a course title change as well and then the early childhood education bee is a over guidance is the course title change and the early childhood education capstone would be a new course the culinary department has a pathway where they're proposing four new courses and then proposing that we delete the courses we currently offer these would replace those courses so principles of culinary and hospitality would be the first course culinary arts a nutrition culinary arts b and then culinary arts capstone those would all be new courses and then they are proposing that we would delete the other ones and then in um principles of human services in this pathway this is a new course the human services a and is a course title change and then human services b is also a course title change those are two current courses we have and then the human services capstone would be a new course and our last pathway does not have a capstone course but it has the principles of automotive services which is our current course that we offer then the automotive services a break systems which would be a course title change and they do more than just break systems in that part um but that's the main gist of that course as the department chair explained that and then the automotive services b steering in suspension that is a current course we offer but of course change as well so those courses all go with our next level of learning with our cte pathways or our career and technical education pathways and the students that complete these pathways in addition to not only the changes in these but also pathways that we offer leave with a variety of different career and technical licenses like for example the culinary arts they leave with a safe server license and there are several different other licenses that our students can take and leave as they prepare for career and or their next steps in colleges so in addition to the changes of the next level program of study we also are recommending changes in a variety of other courses and there are several that i included on the list a couple that i'd like to call your attention to is our our cna courses or our health science education course as well as our emt courses these are two courses that we adopted a couple of years ago where our students can take a series of courses where they could leave carmel high school either with their cna or their certified nursing assistants license or they can leave with their emt or their emergency medical technician license where they could work with a fire department or what have you there are some changes in the next level that would require the students would take a series of three courses that for the cna it would be principles of health care medical terminology and then the cna course for the emt one it would be the same principles of health care medical technology and then the emergency medical technician course the proposed change would they're required to take this over a year but they're proposing that we block this into two blocks each semester and they would receive three credits each semester for these courses and that's the change that would allow us to get the cte funding as well as allow the students to get their certification that there that is needed for those courses there are several other changes and name changes and modifications for courses another one that i would like to call your attention to is the chemistry 2 course this is a proposed new course through our science department that is looking at giving students another option that really enjoy chemistry but don't necessarily want to take an ap chemistry class but they want another level of chemistry so this is a course that they're looking at that might interest some students that want to take that next level but not go all the way to an ap level of chemistry um and then in our english department the they are proposing a new course that i think will interest many many of our students and this is an ib literature and performance so they're looking at literature and then also where they look at that performing arts side of it many times we have literature and then writing and this one would really i think will interest many of our students and students can take ib classes even if they're not looking at their ib diploma and i'll talk about that a little bit later in my report and then another piece that we are looking at there's two courses that the social studies department is recommending and one is introduction to microeconomics and the other one is introduction to macro economics both of these courses would be acp courses and the advanced college project which are dual credit through iu and i'm going to talk about those a little bit later in my report as well so these are two new courses that they are recommending so with that um the set with those recommendations as well as several other on the list um the you know carmel high school dr harmis i myself were recommending that you uh approve those for adoption to be included in our program of studies thank you dr dudley so may i get emotion on the table to approve the 2022-2023 program of studies course changes so moved thank you katie second second thank you louise discussion katie um mine's more of a comment but this just amazes me it is so amazing to me that you can have students i mean this is just like a small snippet of the options that we offer at carmel high school i mean and you know we just heard about our national market scholars but and then you also have you know our automotive technicians and our nurses and our cmts and i mean micro economics and carpentry with framing and finishing i mean all these different things so that we do have like to use a term that we use pathway that we do have a pathway to depending on what your interests are and your skill sets i just think that's amazing that you can leave high school with so many options in order for those next steps so it's mainly just something that you know and continues to impress me that we have so many amazing things for our students right and i would say our students really have so many different opportunities and high school is really about not only finding your pathways and your passions but also sometimes figuring out what you might not want to do and so you know i've talked to a student he was actually in a pathway an engineering pathway and he decided you know what i this isn't what i want this isn't my passion so it was great that he figured that out before he went to purdue or rose holman you know three years down the line to figure it out so it's all it's about finding what you want to do but then also sometimes finding out what you don't want to do i've got a question about the micro macro economics course how does the macro economics course at acp course compared to the ap macro so the acp course is direct iu credit so the students so when they take an ap course a student of the the macro ap course they take that course and then they have to take the ap exam and they have to score a qualifying exam and then a university will look at that to determine how many credits you might get for that course for the acp macro course which is this is an iu class it's what you would take if you were done in bloomington taking the macro course and you get direct credit to iu so if you go to purdue or you go to any other university they're looking at that iu credit with the ap it's really up to the university as far as what it might look like as far as the number of credits you get also based on your ap score okay thank you for explaining that other questions see none we'll go ahead and take a vote on that all those in favor of supporting the 2022-23 program of studies course changes please signify by saying aye aye any opposed motion carries 5-0 thank you and next on the agenda is our school board meeting dates and can we show that on our screen or do i need to show my screen okay please do okay no brush so this is our first discussion item and mrs nobis went through looked at various holidays and we looked at what the calendar looked like and we are presenting or i'm presenting to you suggestions for our school board meetings i'll point out a few changes when we look at april typically we kind of struggle with april because we're out of school for spring break and then oftentimes we have the national school board association meeting and it makes it difficult to fit in both of those meetings and having an opportunity for the administration to prepare all the business that we need at our board meetings so we're suggesting april we just have the single meeting on april the 25th and then because we have five mondays in may to shift to two meetings in may instead of just the one meeting so that's something for us to consider and discuss as typical we have the one meeting in july so that is the same we have the one meeting in december the slight change we have on dates you'll notice with the double asterisks in september the september 27th meeting is going to be on a tuesday because there is a holiday on monday and um i open it up for discussion or questions yep can you repeat the the april may piece again yes typically when we have just one meeting a month we typically have may may july and december just a single meeting because well and let me backtrack last year we had a single meeting in april we're considering having just a single meeting in april again but because we have five mondays in may having our two meetings in may typically we have four four mondays a month but we have the extra monday and it would be the two days that we have here proposed or you right this is all may 9th and 23rd those are the tools these are the dates that are proposed yes these are mondays the only days that are not falling on a monday um september 27th and i actually think december 12th is a monday that just happens to be out of sync with our typical calendar but i will check that real quick i'm not able to pull it up but can you tell me what the first day of school is in the last day of school my computer won't let me pull it up does anyone have that handy i do on my phone which i don't have on me well i can look at it and get back to you i can look at that i do know in the past it's always we try to avoid having it sometimes it falls like the day before school starts or the day after the last day of school and we don't really we try not to have our staff have to stay any more than they're already staying for those two things so yeah that's what i was concerned about may uh and then graduation yeah so we can look it up and like um get back to you on but so just looking at the calendar first glance and not my first glance but again right um those would be my only things that i would just and i believe i did check i just thought i would bring it up again gradually okay we're good we're good with graduation it's the 26th but the last day of school wednesday august 10th i'm looking at the calendar now okay what's the last day wednesday the 25th okay so we should be good it's that week but not that day um yes although the day i'm looking at is 4 23 okay okay so food for thought if you have questions concerns if there's a big red flag email that to us i'll circulate new dates otherwise we'll plan to bring this to the board at our next let's see november at the november board meeting sounds good for a vote next on the agenda we turn to dr dudley for a series of policies and bylaws versus 5240 yes thank you so this first policy 5240 is controversial issues this is a policy that we've had in our policies for several several years and the the purpose of this policy is really to look at there are controversial issues that come up in classrooms and it really helps with that critical thinking it helps with students um you know weighing all sides of the issues um looking at you know exploring those issues um favorably looking at all the factors involved and to develop techniques for formulating and value in evaluating positions this is such an important skill that our students do need to learn and so the policy committee looked at this policy and um there suggests we're suggesting some recommendations for some wording changes but not it's not necessarily changing the meaning of the policy it's just updating some wording and really looking at you know how are those controversial issues related to the instructional goals um you know making sure that the controversial issues are not indoctrinating or persuading students to a particular point of view but it's really to help the students to formulate their own points of view and then also to encouraging that open-mindedness and seeing other points of view with the and that's the purpose of this policy and there is a place for those issues in our classroom and our policy committee looked at that and we're recommending some changes um just to the wording but not necessarily to the overall meaning of the policy discussion questions okay let's move along to the second we've got first reading of 5220 or 5521 yes so this policy is um our policy that looks at the selection of instructional materials we have another policy that we're recommending changes to in a few minutes on the board agenda which is policy 9130 public complaints and concerns this policy the the policy 9130 talks about public complaints and concerns and it talks about if you have a complaint about a certain staff member what do you do what's the process there then the policy goes in and talks about if you have concerns about materials we looked at these policies and we determined that that was really seemed to be out of place in policy 9130 so we took the information that is in 9130 and determined that it would be better placed in the instructional materials if you were talking about the adoption the review of those instructional materials and then if you have concerns about those instructional materials what is the process so it talks about instructional materials that you might have in the classroom or it also talks about materials that you might find in our media center as well and what's the process so the policy did not change it's just moving we're moving that information from 9130 to 55-21 and there's a few pieces that we would move into administrative guidelines because it was in policy but it really needs to fall into administrative guidelines for example the makeup of if the superintendent chooses to have a committee that make up of the committee that really needs to be more in administrative guidelines questions katie i don't have a question it's just a comment just to reiterate the policy itself isn't changing it's just where it is so under what number right correct correct yes it would move from 9130 the part on the challenging the materials to 5521 but the policy is not changing correct i knew that i just thought it bared another a repeat so i would like to comment i do like how it is so nicely outlined um and i like where the new location is going to be where i have a question and it's not necessarily with this it's if a parent is uncomfortable with the piece of literature that a student is reading in the classroom um what options do they have i know i i think if i'm not mistaken there can we there can be a different selection for a particular student that would align with some of the learning objectives but i would like you to touch on that if you could that is correct so if a parent has a concern about a novel that is a core text in the classroom that they can they just talk with their child's teacher talk about their concerns and then the teacher will have an alternative core novel it still aligns with the same standards that they would be teaching it would be a similar theme to that novel and they would have the opportunity to read an alternative text and the reason i say core novel is we also have choice text but then there's lots of choices that students can choose different ones from that so if a parent does have a concern with that and then with a high school you'll recall that we adopted several new novels for our high school literacy program and what the teachers have is before they start a novel two to three weeks before that novel starts on canvas they have a synopsis of what the novel is about and any information the parent might want to look at any reviews that they might want to look at they can they'll align them so the parent would have the opportunity to look at that before they start using that in the classroom and that is on the canvas page of each of the courses the students courses and this is prior to when the instruction would start from that so the parents in case they haven't read all of those novels we'll have the opportunity to look at it further thank you are there any other questions at this time okay moving on to the next we've got policy 7540 computer technology networks yes so this policy the policy 7540 and also the policy following that 75 are bringing these two together so we look we requested for our attorneys with the help of our director of information and technology mrs christie cloud to review this policy because we wanted to make sure that it is up to date as technology continues to change we want to make sure that our policies are um are accurate and up to date based on how we're using technology and the one this what did not change about this policy is we have all of the information in policy now 75 40.
thank you mr harmony for the recommendation as ms hartman presented to approve the out-of-country field trip for crown point high school students to travel to germany in june of 2022 we have a motion to approve move to approve subject to any restrictions that may be applicable at the time of the trip second movement mr hoffman in second by mr angel any questions or comments from mr hartman all those in favor signify by saying aye all right opposed motion carries 5-0 and 5.2 interactive panels for winfield elementary back to mr hartman thank you thank you again mr warning um last year we start we had a group of uh administrators teachers uh specialists in the area kind of technology as we looked at the future 2021 and beyond a couple of the items that we identified that are part of this recommendation were the interactive screens large interactive screens in this case we're looking at an 86 inch interactive screen for all of our classrooms at winfield as well as having a webcam that's associated with that so that in for instruction we are able to have the opportunity to uh project students in a in a distance learning kind of a format we also wanted to include in that the document cameras because the document cameras that we currently have are not the type that really interact with the type of technology that we're looking at if you want to know about an 86 inch screen think of a screen such as what you see here in each classroom and i don't even think these are 86 inch i think these are probably around 75 so they would be even larger than this and they're interactive screens meaning touch screen they are basically computers that students would be able to interact with and their teachers we can also project images from a student's chromebook to the interactive screen which uh increases dialogue and increases uh learning and problem solving for uh for our students so we did put this out for bid for the interactive screens and the document cameras webcams and also mounting stands it's not a cart because it might be you might think of a cart as being something large but this is just a stand that it sits on and it can adjust because i want you to think about a kindergarten being able to touch it we don't want them to reach high to get it they got to have it down to their level so we did want to make sure that we had the adjustable stands for uh for our students when we put this out to bid the low bid in this case was troxel communications incorporated they came in at uh uh three hundred two thousand fifty dollars and seeking your approval of this uh this bid and this purchase this evening thank you mr hartman head recommendation the administration recommends approval to purchase 50 clear touch 86-inch interactive panels document cameras webcams adjustable mount cards from trucks at 302 thousand fifty dollars uh the motion to approve so moved second moved by mr angel and segment mr babjack any questions or comments from mr hartman expected installation and operation mister when when do we anticipate installation and when will these be effective december is this technology the first in the elementary schools for our school corporation yes it is yes yeah i would add i had the opportunity to talk to mr gill i think after the last board meeting or maybe two board meetings ago we're just talking about the simple podium that we have here and some of the technology that the students can our teachers can teach the students with now i know mr gill is pretty excited when we're just talking about the little that's the what the podium can do um any other questions or comments from sherman all those in favor signify by saying aye hi opposed motion carries 5-0 thank you thank you mr hartman and mr gill uh 5.3 elise uh district copiers mr akiba thank you mr president the issue at hand here is the replacement of our current aging copiers our current hardwares approaching 12 years old it's past its useful life from an equipment perspective we are looking to replace our aging monochrome copiers in addition to providing new equipment that will allow for some color reproduction as well we've put out for bids and we'd like to ask the the school board to approve a lease of 35 monochrome and 13 color copiers from rico usa at a quarterly payment of twenty one thousand eight hundred and fifty five dollars for seven years uh rico will give us a credit for our current equipment of thirty six thousand dollars for our old fleet if you will that can be applied to this particular lease and the cost of the paper cut software this would reduce our quarterly payment to 19 374 dollars so at this point we would like to ask the board's approval for us to enter into this new lease which will allow us to replace our old copiers monochrome in addition to add 13 color copiers in our buildings for our faculty staff and student use thank you mr akua you heard the recommendation there's a quite a bit going on there so i'm just going to go ahead and repeat that recommendation to the board uh recommendation is to approve the lease of 35 monochrome and 13 color copiers from ricoh usa at a quarterly payment of twenty one thousand eight or fifty five dollars for seven years from rico usa rico usa will credit the crown point community corporation thirty six thousand for its old fleet of copiers crown point community school corporation has the option to apply that thirty six thousand to the cost of the paper cut software for five years this would reduce the quarterly payment to nineteen thousand three hundred seventy four years six for year six and seven crown point community school corporation will need to pay about three thousand one hundred dollars per year in maintenance and support for the paper cut software do we have a motion to approve the recommendation second moved by mr babjack second by mr hoffman any questions or comments from mr akiwa arty do they they maintain these machines yes they do and and what is what is this paper cut software it's just software that allows us to utilize this and and send you know our printing requests to the machines and and you know have it speak it's really convenient the way we're able to print now with our current ricoh i can actually send something to the ricoh machines and i could be working in my office i could have a meeting in another building and i could go log into that machine in another building and it'll print there so it kind of parks it until we're ready to access it and print it wherever we want as scott babjack pointed out before i think we just made copy moms and dads very happy across our school district with this so all those in favor signify saying guy hi opposed motion carries five zero thank you mr kiwa everybody have uh 5.4 approve the 2022 budget forms and resolutions mr reese thank you mr president members of the board tonight is your last official step regarding the 2022 budgets uh we advertised public hearings were held on september 27 for the capital projects and trent bus replacement plans on october 6 for the overall budgets the only change in your budget since the public hearing is on form 4 where we've reduced as we mentioned public hearing we're waiting to see what the new debt issuance was going to be like we made sure we budgeted enough money both in the levy and in the budget for with that debt issuance now been issued uh we were able to reduce those amounts fairly significantly a little over seven million dollars in both both accounts um to get more in line with where our payments are expected to be for 2022 out of debt service those are the only changes no changes in the capital projects or bus replacement plans as we presented to you during the public hearings so with that we're recommending approval of resolution 805 which is our form 4 resolution 806 which is the 2022 through 2024 capital projects plan and resolution 807 which is the 2022 bus replacement plan be happy answering questions you might have thank you mr reese heard recommendation approve the 20 20 22 budgets the 22 to 24 capital projects plan a 22 to 26 school bus replacement plan and the corresponding forms of resolutions uh motion to approve move to approve resolutions 805 806 and 807.
and 25 cents second regular payroll in september was dated september 17 2021 total payroll of 665.30 and with that the accounts payable for retirement and uh payroll taxes 114 000 to 71.85 and next in your packet you're going to see a list of prepays for the month of september there's nothing unusual on this on this list did anyone have any questions about anything listed okay total um pre-pays for the month of september 318 six hundred ninety eight dollars and forty two cents and then you'll see a list of accounts payable updated today october twenty fifth twenty twenty one did anyone have any questions about any any of the claims this month no okay so total claims for today october 25th 981 dollars are we ready to move on to the finance report okay all right next in your packet you're going to see the fund report uh total balance at the end of september 2021 in education fund was one million five hundred sixty nine thousand seven hundred thirty eight dollars and thirty one cents ending balance in operations september 21st 2021 674.88 total on all funds if you go to the last page page five for all funds at 6 million 298 next in your packet you will see the depository statement and bank balances so of course the bank balances minus any outstanding checks that's what we'll look here at the bottom for our september 2021 fund balance you'll see on here is six million two hundred ninety eight thousand nine seventy six eighteen you'll match that up with the last page of the fund report and you'll see that we have balanced out for the month of september 2021 and then lastly in your finance packet you'll just see the ongoing expenditures for bond 2021 we had our expenditures from july through september last month and then you'll just see we've only had two this month we've got a couple pending that probably won't make it until november but we just listed what's what's here that we've paid here in october so the total to date paid out of bond 2021 is one million eight seventy two seven forty two thirty seven and pending any questions i'd like to recommend for approval i do not have any questions i'll make a motion to approve we have a agenda in a second to approve the consent agenda any further discussion you're not all in favor all right all opposed motion passes next item on the agenda is reports first from assistant superintendent dr french good evening so a couple of items i wanted to point out just some information to give to you tonight so first if you remember imagine learning which is our online supplemental curriculum they're going to be running a november contest for our students so in each elementary building the class with the most usage gets a pizza party and the student the individual student in each building that gets has the most usage wins a hoverboard so they're really excited about that so hopefully that can increase some homework and usage time outside of class for math facts and those other those other skills and the next item i wanted to mention and i provided you with a brief description there at your seat but is the indiana gps or the indiana graduates prepared to succeed this is a new initiative coming down from the doe it's still in the idea phase not in the implementation phase but i did want to make you aware of it so according to the does research they show that 40 of high school students don't have a plan for after graduation so what they're what they hope to do is to be able to provide another accountability tool for schools by creating this indiana gps dashboard so basically the goal for the dashboard they want to define characteristics of a successful student provide transparent information about school performance and identify model schools and schools which need additional support so basically an online dashboard that houses all the indiana schools information that's a tool of transparency the doe has identified characteristics of a successful student i'm kind of bulleted there but a successful student has academic mastery career post-secondary readiness communication collaboration work ethic and civic financial and digital literacy so the next uh challenge that they have is quantifying those characteristics which you can see is going to be difficult because it's not typical to quantify work ethic so they are meeting and deliberating in december the state board of education along with the doe to kind of define and try to find what these measurement tools will look like and then once they identify those then it becomes our job as a school district to collect that data disseminate that data and make sure that that is up to date and posted on our website so while this is still an idea phase they've got this idea they're trying to figure out how to make it um logistically possible and then once that information comes out we'll be required to share that data so really what does that mean for us it's just basically more data and different data that we might have to collect along with what we currently collect which is our standardized test scores and those types of things are overall school performance so this just becomes another piece of school performance and transparency so any questions over that i guess i was just wondering how it was going to help us at all it's a good question it's more data good question yeah so it's just another accountability tool um like it mentions to identify model schools and schools that need additional support if that is a motivation or a motivational tool or incentive for schools um not sure how effective that is but regardless i wanted to put this on your radar and when information does come out i'll make sure that we share that so that we are doing our part of that accountability piece i appreciate it yeah and thanks so and so initially this is looking at you know looking at a traditional college or university correct it's not so not any sort of so not necessarily so anything post-secondary so after they graduate they're saying 40 of these are high school graduates don't have a plan in general so whether that's enlistment employment or college and career okay okay so credentials and certifications that's what i was getting okay so there's a lot of pushback with a to f and just a single metric in looking at academic achievement through a do i learn and i read and so this brings in a broader um perspective but i'm interested in seeing again how you you know what how they're going to quantify or measure work ethic and some of those other pieces so we definitely wanted to get you the information and kind of start that conversation yeah and i'm curious to see what tools they come up with as evidence to be able to quantify characteristics of people okay thanks next is superintendent mr gibbon yep so i just have a couple of uh big things um uh one is obviously like to congratulate everyone for finishing another nine weeks at greencast schools it certainly hasn't been without any challenges so our staff once again has not just survived they've thrived in the words of mr mchugh and his staff so they've done a great job and had some parent-teacher conferences over the past couple of weeks and continuing and so our teachers and staff continue to do a great job and another culminating piece of all that effort certainly you know wrapping up fall athletics we had some had some students advance at different levels we had a cross-country runner advance to semi-state while we're done competing certainly they we think that they had a very successful year we had just last week had our choir and band concerts for both middle school and high school and once again they just continue to do amazing amazing things so definitely want to share kind words for that and just definitely thank our students and staff for continuing those kinds of opportunities but most importantly i wanted to bring to the table again mike montgomery from krm architect group and dan silkowski with creamer company as our owner rep to provide some updates with regards to our construction project yes yep you can can you connect wirelessly from that or you want to plug in okay and cory yep there you go you're a pretty quick study at it i'll give you that it took me a lot longer to understand hoverboards around and showing the kids how to have it work when they win them yeah i'm gonna not comment on that i actually tried unsuccessfully to even board one of the hoverboards in the garage and uh without much success i never never was even able to stand but our fabulous executive secretary she got right up there she's a pro those things are hard and dangerous we probably have to up our reliability policy if i was going to ride one of those let's see he'll work with his cop yeah there we go for the board so um uh i thought this evening we might give you uh types of information if i was wanting to hear from as a board member because we are transitioning from design into bidding and construction it's going to have more of an impact on how students are affected people in your community who might be bidding on the project and you know things you might hear about over the next few months so the track football project is is near complete the added work at the walkway is underway and number three there you'll see some more information from mr mr sukowski about the status of the contract on that and then high school and macanally project the current efforts are basically we're completing the designs and the documents in the various areas in the high school in macanally center we have some examples of that tonight that you may not have seen before one of some of the one of the hot topics right now is we're developing a construction sequencing plan for the contractors to allow school to continue to operate we want to make sure that we have given as much information as possible and we'll show you that in in just a minute here and uh next week a submission to the city of green castle goes in for city approval we had had a preliminary meeting with them a couple months ago we've had some back and forth with them so i think we're all on the same page with that under bidding the current the plan is the project will be bid in two groups group one will be all the work at the high school including the renovations the mac and alley center the connector project and all the renovations inside the high school the second bid group will be the baseball and softball complex a contractor can bid on both big groups or either big group and then the school would pick their best combination of bids that they received at that point um the final bid dates yet to be set we're still finishing the documents but it'll probably be the end of december early january when the bids come in we know we're getting into holidays there so we want to time that just right and we'll talk about that more tomorrow with mr gibbon and mr sulkowski contractors and cost we've both us and craigwood companies have made calls talk to people and the general feeling we get is the general contractors there's good interest it's a nice size project they're looking for big work to fill in for next year but we are facing um materials and subcontractor costs that are escalated so it's kind of an interesting bidders market out there right now and the way that we've strategized to control this is um there'll be a group of work most of the work that will be set as a base bid so all the contractors will bid on the base bit and then there'll be a series of alternates that they they can add to the cost so the school can see the base bid sort through that and then select the alternates that make the best value for the school we hope the bids come in great and you can select all the alternates but the last thing we want to do is open the bids and not have a project that fit within your budget so this is not an uncommon process so it's a little nerve-wracking to be sure and some of the next steps um just as a reminder as soon as this group of work is under contract and we'll start working on the the final phase of design which involves the middle school science uh media center and security and then number two is the sonicus elementary moisture correction we got a brief update on that tonight that we find we think it's really interesting then number three is the east parking lot at the high school the secure entrances at the primary school and other places and then there's some exterior repairs at redpath elementary and i may have forgotten a couple but that pretty well summarizes what happens as soon as these contracts go out and those are intended to they take a lot less work they're smaller in scope so they'll bid next next spring after after the big project is underway so to back up to number two there that's sonic is elementary there's been a depends on how you look at it we either got some bad news or some good news uh the bad news is you know what it's been kind of going on for a while years and different attempts to find the problem have gone on so this time there were a few different attempts we had soil borings in the ground to test the moisture in the ground we had the mechanical system evaluated to to help us understand if the units were just too big and would not dehumidify the building and uh but really the third and it wasn't either one of those the soil engineering company said you need to look someplace else it's not the soil groundwater even there is a groundwater problem there it's not saturating the soil and it's not coming up from underneath the slab it's running off in kind of a disorganized fashion but it's not saturating the ground and just to let you know one of the reasons that we thought that might be important is there is a history of groundwater problems in green castle because of the rock layer that you have underneath and it gets trapped and we we got fortunate that we came across a very experienced soil engineer who had experience in green castle they drilled a few holes and and they determined that wasn't it but the final step of the testing was uh to pressurize the building and see if it leaked and that was last week over spring break company tsi energy was on site for two days and they they basically put fans in the building to pressurize it and they know based on the building size how much air it should leak they go inside and use smoke to see where it's leaking and what they found was the building really leaks a lot and what's happening is that where there's soffits and overhangs it's open between the outside and the inside above the ceiling and it leaked enough that they had a hard time even pressurizing the building so that's the bad news the good news is we really believe we found the problem and i think the solutions may not be as bad as they actually might sound as it's leaking all the way around the building but in a pretty specific spot so that's that's the good news in that so it's okay i'll just keep on going here unless there's any questions about that and dan i don't know if you want to speak to this or not track and um football field [Music] again this project is under construction there's good news and there's bad news the bad news is it's late obviously late the good news is that the contract is set up that protects you as the owner and from the standpoint of the pros and cons which is the sheet that you see up there there's a few things that weren't provided correctly the incorrect purple and the carpet was delivered there's a four inch long jump runway poured in lieu of the six inch specified for concrete poor concrete workmanship at the shotput and discus pads they had to be rejected and replaced damaged track drain during asphalt operations was rejected delay and track progress due to curb removal and replacement 600 million foot of curve they put down and had to be removed and then late delivery on the field in the track we have what's called liquidated damages on completion days for the field it's september 1.
westfield gains possession and sends it up to midfield stevens will boot it back in a little miss kick there from number 16 in westfield ends up on luke mazz's foot he'll create some space more no battling bush and stevens will head it over to brunel grinnell crosses it into the middle and it's kicked out of bounds so far westfield has not been able to control it in offensive territory he's somehow just dominating right now well midfield kirana to brunel brunel will rip a shot on net and it goes off the pylon or the crossbar of the uprights and it's going to be a westfield goal kick for van oostveen once again we apologize in advance we butchers anybody's name tonight to edelson gained by jacob paschetto he'll send it to brunel brunell cross field over to luke mazza and it just takes a skip hop over maz's head and goes out of bounds westfield throwing for bush bush gives it to lacorie luke mazza steals it tries to find brunell far side but it's cleared out by velez brunel and velez battling valez a little push off there ball goes out of bounds it's going to be an east long meadow throwing brunel the more now ben weldon a little touch on net goes out of bounds off of westfield that's going to be a corner kick so far some offensive dominance from east long meadows shown early correct now esau metal will go to take this corner kick here who will that be more no and he's been an offensive threat this season he'll look to send it to the middle and hopefully they can capitalize morneau sends it to the top of the 18.
it's almost exactly to the date we um when came to the board for recommending recommending lpa to prepare our 2013 master plan it was adopted may i believe it was may or june of 2014 it was a seven month long process that we had with almost about a hundred meetings with stakeholders schools staff ed division uh maintenance and operations and um like i said it culminated in in i believe it was may with the adoption of the master plan and this was prepared um prior to the board putting the ballot measure h what ended up being measure age on the ballot in august so uh it is recommended that um seven years later we really feel the need to update the master plan there have been many changes that within our you know the the initiatives here within the district new programs we need to make sure that our master plan is still current and responding to the educational needs and also taking a good look at our facilities we have done a lot accomplished a lot with measure right funds and measure age funds and other funds and there's a lot of things that are coming off the list but you know that um when we went to the when we adopted the master plan in 2014 that we recognized that there were many needs almost 1.3 billion uh dollars worth of needs and even though we have done a lot of work the needs are still there and they're you know they're it there's still a lot of funding that will be needed for this so um but like i said uh it's a good time for us to really uh take a look at our facilities at our programs and make sure that everything is lining up in addition to the typical master plan that we have that we will be putting together there's other tasks that were requesting lpa to prepare for us we are looking at our ct programs it's very robust here at the district and especially this district being a high school district we want to make sure that we look we take a good look at what's coming up in the future make sure that all our facilities currently uh rct programs are properly housed and also looking at what's coming in the future so we want to create the master plan working with our ed division so we will be preparing the master plan and implementing uh the ct master plan the other task is taking a good look at our title ix to see for compliance so that will also become a part of the master plan and how we're going to implement that as well and the other big one is our road to zero net which is all related to energy and this is in response to um the state mandate it's so we have some milestones that we need to start paying attention and this is the perfect opportunity for us with a firm like lpa to really help us create that um that roadmap so one of the first milestones approaching soon 2030 there's another one and in 20 20 40 and then 2045.
I've been a fireman for uh 17 years I've been a medic for 15. if any of you need any further clarification of why people should not be getting this vaccine or why are KitchenAid masks please I'm all I'm here to talk to you I see it every single day not everybody's having complications but there are major life-altering complications out there in the field that I'm seeing and you can also check the CEC website it's on there there are hundreds of thousands of uh adverse reactions and life debilitating injuries that these people are are never going to be the same again so that is uh that's one of the reasons but if you want to talk further uh I'm all ears uh definitely you know looking forward to talking to you guys you five can help put an end to this thank you [Applause] Matthew Obama and then all right good evening board and Community my name is Matthew Balmer and I have two kids uh in the district here uh I'm here to uh just talked briefly about the curriculum that's uh um being snuck underneath a lot of people's noses I asked Miss Nelson the first day of school about uh the you know critical race Theory it's kind of the buzz lightning rod term uh and as it's disguised in the California Department of Education curriculum it's called transformative social and emotional learning okay uh they're not going to call it what it is they're going to call it apple pie and try to uh butter it up and so I just want to bring that to everyone's attention uh I have to look that up for yourself um it's called T cell and it really Embraces critical theory not just critical race Theory but critical theory and all the demonstrative pernicious and Insidious destructive uh uh principles that they're trying to push into our classrooms uh you know social justice diversity Equity inclusion these are all feel good buzzwords to get us thinking that we should follow along and it's if you look at the curriculum under agency and belonging they have identity inclusiveness exclusive groups inherent biases and so forth It's all stratified by great grade level and structured so that by the time they get into high school or you know young adults they're you know changing their behavior uh to basically further segregate and society and be discriminatory okay this is discriminate reverse discrimination it's it's it's teaching our kids to be uh inherently discriminatory self-discrimination self-segregation it's wrong it's sick and I'm I I hope that the teachers still have some latitude I know not all teachers are pushing this but um it's there and as parents we need to talk to our kids and find out who's who and what's what um so on that note I just want to bring that to everyone's attention uh on the resolution I agree with the three previous speakers uh it's a weak resolution and um you know precedent is a poor basis for law okay it's poor logic and the idea that just because we have 10 diseases that we currently Force kids to take to go to school is a lame excuse to add another one to the list okay [Applause] especially for the for something that's no more really serious than the flu okay especially for kids um so my my takeaway is stand up or step down all right if you're not prepared if you're not prepared to protect our kids you need to get out of the way I'm prepared to go to jail I'm prepared to die for my family for this country and if you're not you need to move on all right is that that most people in here would pay your bail if you went to jail standing up for our kids all right thank you how about Walton Heather Walton [Laughter] [Applause] hi there my name is Heather Walton my husband and I have a junior at Apple Valley High School my concern is the parking situation in the visitor parking lot last Friday my son was damn near hit because parents and other people don't know how to drive through that parking lot they think it's a race track I have tolerated it for three years this year is the worst where are the school police you've got them hanging out here at Granite how about having some over at Apple this is ridiculous I've got a letter here that I printed out and a rendering of the visitor parking lot I would like all of you to take a look in light of that young man that just lost his life this does not need to happen I already lost my brother 26 years ago Mr Bender he was one of your students Christopher Powell 16 years old killed in a car accident I'll be damned if I'm going to lose my one and only son because people don't know how to drive and respect other kids I'm sorry if I'm upsetting some of the parents in here I am not going to stand for this you know how many of you it hurts didn't lose a sibling but I watched that kid out there die the other day because I was on that field there so yeah I agree with you yeah I was there it's not right coach police is doing his best to try and get this situation worked out I've already spoken with him and [Applause] you come down here I've got him right here this is not right absolutely not right both cars were not even paying attention to each other they were too busy probably looking down here and yeah I am going to say some of the kids that walk out are doing this or they're like this you know so please guys have your kids pay attention please we don't need any more funerals or accidents these are our babies that went up there he's our one and only I don't have any more okay please thank you really really look into this matter and another thing real quick I want to know why the barn is not being used as it should at Apple Valley High School Mr penfold spent his life over there raising the money to get a new barn built and it's being used as a storage unit my son thank you and tells me every day thank you thank you thank you Krista eats Krista is [Applause] good evening my name is Krista Gates and I have taught at Apple Valley Unified School District for the last 11 years I have personally been affected by covid I lost my father I actually just recovered from covid my husband was hospitalized I came to speak on the topics of freedom and choice I'm a Christian I will not be forced to do something that's against my religious beliefs I'm not saying I'm against vaccines I'm saying I'm against people being forced to do something that should be a personal choice it breaks my heart to think of all the District employees that could potentially lose their jobs if we are not vaccinated in regards to the walkout our Union president asked us not to participate saying that she would hate to see someone disciplined or fired that's fair tactics just so you know our District employees would have been participating in that walkout more importantly let's stop calling this a vaccine by definition a vaccine prepares an active acquired immunity that's the key word this this is not a vaccine it's an injection you can still get covered if you receive this injection this would be this would not be a vaccine this would be a force injection for employees to keep their jobs that they love to do a job that provides them with medical insurance for themselves and their families and what is your reasoning behind the weekly covet testing during the last 11 years of teaching for the district I've never been asked to be drug tests it wasn't part of my hiring process nor have I known a single School employee you've gone through a single drug test if covet testing is required to keep this student safe why are you not having employees submit to drug testing as well by the way I'm very concerned of how drug oh drug sorry how covet testing is being handled within the District employees are placed into a room with their colleagues all their personal information is out and open for everyone to hear and witness while we are swabbed inside our noses in front of each other these tests are ineffective there are countless false positives and negatives and why are you only testing the unvaccinated I know many vaccinated District employees who have gotten sick from covid I'm testing not testing um only testing then vaccinated is discrimination if I test positive my daughters have to stay home and lose their education my students suffer they don't have the consistency of their teacher here all students missed out in a real school year last year a few board members stand up for freedom to choose it's our constitutional right to make our medical choices for ourselves and our children I ask you to consider how you are testing your employees are you following hit below thank you [Applause] thank you thank you your time's up submit the rest can I finish who is the master can I finish I have three more sentences I ask you to consider how you're testing your employees are you following HIPAA loss are you protecting our personal medical information if you're going to test test us all or stop testing something has to change stop this divide stop the threats stop the Mandate we stood and pledged to the flag I ask that we honor in those words that we spoke for liberty and justice for all thank you for your time thank you [Music] Josh Mallett Josh mullet that was a quick walk yeah I can move it this is more for the people for all the parents who showed up tonight thank you you actually care about your children we have around 10 000 parents in this Apple Valley Unified School District and we are at capacity in this building which is 318.
um uh deputy chief forsberg and i were talking about that actually with dr carpiac in a meeting and and and city council said hey we would like to know that and so start collecting that data and so that is when that started because city council said so and so certainly we could ask about an initiative to for some period of time to try to collect accurate data on ethnicity um i'm sorry go ahead counsel uh uh commissioner amiri you know my thinking is like if i think of immigrants and people who don't have documentation being in this country and african-american who don't look african-american might not want to reveal that that's something to keep in the back of your mind why are they asking me you know and when you do when the city of ann arbor do the announcement and public information these are the last people the information reached you know they don't go to city council they don't look what resolution they not necessarily read go to m live and and and search for that kind of emotion so imagine you yourself a recent immigrant who don't have documentation and the police ask you what's your background and you're going to say i'm puerto rican and or i'm from mexico or whatever country or syria or iraq and you don't have documentation and you're here you know so or that also go for minorities who feel there's a bias they might think they're asking them and if i am of mexican origin they're going to be attacked or if i'm that we have to keep that in mind as we do these kind of things not assume that everybody read what the city council does and and assume because they have their experience tell them otherwise yeah so i don't know how to deal with that but it is something to i don't have an answer how to deal with that but it's something to keep in in the back of our mind as we move for if we to decide to move forward absolutely and and your point about the people who could be most negatively impacted being the last to have the information disseminated to them resonates um so clearly that that seems to be the case almost all of the time and thus any kind of public information campaign should take that into account before it starts and it should make a concerted effort to use people to um get that information out in ways that information is not typically disseminated and sometimes when it is when the information is disseminated people still don't trust you know there is a different experience between certain people certain clusters and ethnicity of the government so if the government say we're doing this so we want to be sure that everybody is treated equally equally and the answer will say oh well you know this is we've heard this before we have experience so that's actually complicated work of complicated work but it's good to be aware of it as we move forward yep and i think that the reason why it's complicated is the reason why we do our work that very reason is why we are here and so it is incumbent upon us to make sure and so what we're talking about is people who get stopped they're the ones who need to know right and so we're going to keep talking about who gets stopped and traffic stops we're going to talk about that a little bit more but what you're saying is absolutely why we do our work council member ram lawyer you had your hand up too thank you and appreciate the conversation as always commissioner amir that's a very significant and relative observation to make about minorities who are avoiding persecution in other parts of the world where we leave giving information as as what you're describing um causes harm um and and and for them to to give that information out they they have preservations and so getting that you know accurate information is is very difficult for many different reasons um i i was just have a question for for um chief cox or um city prosecutor aaron slay on whether um the the legality of doing such and asking these questions um whether there are legal challenges um and what is the current practice if they if we can get a refresher as to what the current practice is if it's just gender that's being asked are there other questions to to aggregate the information that's being collected gender's not being asked so i just want to clarify make sure you didn't misunderstand what i'm saying that data is being collected they are definitely not asking people what their gender is so i just want to make sure that everyone's clear on what i was saying that information is now being collected police are not asking people what their gender is thanks for for clarifying that i guess so just asking what the current practices and and again what the if there are legal challenges to maybe asking that information that was was earlier described chief cox you want to talk about how people usually identify ethnicity on the ticket when they write it um it's it's based on the officer's perception um we don't ask the question unless it's already on the license uh i i will say this and it's a little off a little bit from your question i think um the legal aspect is without certainly let attorney slay answer that portion of it is we're asking um or we potentially might be asking officers in a time when we're you know when we're trying to build more trust to ask a probing question that the state doesn't even require on a license or things of that nature to potentially get information to be researched later for whether or not we're you know participating in some type of bias when the reality is that person right then and there is going to feel like that they are we are um you know i i would think you know and and this is just my opinion you know i would think that if if government or certainly um you know from a political perspective if you want to capture the data required to be on the license and then you'll get accurate data almost all the time we don't have to ask but the reality is you know the state doesn't require it and so you know we could stop people and they could tell us false information we can stop people and we can guess what it is but the reality is i don't even know how reliable it's going to be anyway unless the state requires it on a license of some type you know on what people would like to report so from my standpoint you know i don't know why we would want to put officers in the position to have we'll put them in a position where we're not building trust particularly in this day and age to potentially get research data multiple years later that might not be accurate in the beginning so but that's my humble opinion on some of that stuff you know i'm not sure we want to suggest that asking people how they identify is going to be less accurate than officers guessing at it i mean i don't think we want to make that comparison i think what you're saying is it might be challenging for officers to do and certainly we understand that we also understand the state of michigan doesn't require it on a driver's license lobbying that is far above our pay grade i mean you know community groups could lobby the state to say everybody needs to self-identify on the driver's license that's not in our bailiwick though but i don't think we want to say that officers guessing at that is more accurate than what people would tell us about themselves i know council member sonia had your hand up again i'm sorry i just want to mention um i'm pretty sure we remember when there are folks in our community who are being deported in the past couple years and there's a lot of concern in organizing around immigrant coalitions rights and how in ann arbor chapter 120 of the city code prohibits public servants from asking about immigration status except accepting cases of criminal investigation warrant or federal order that was really meant to encourage trust in our local law enforcement and encourage undocumented people to work with local authorities so we do have some concerns have been addressed many times over i think in the past couple years to make sure that we care for our residents and are considerate about their legal status and i i understand that's also shared on the county level too but correct me if i'm wrong thanks commissioner you know the the the ethnicity is not something that that is like it's not there in the census it is there is there any way you know failing everything failing everything cannot go and and get the information right information from the individuals or because of concerns about the the immigration status or because of minority being uh treated differently or the biases and all that stuff um you know the census is there and and ethnicities are there um is there any way um we can you know not asking the police what to do is from the census uh do you have access to the information census information or it's also privileged information and no one can access that so i i really don't know and and if if we're going to be tackling the issue of of who's going to be stopped and if by chance some segments of our community feels that they are stopped more frequently than others and we don't know the ethnicity of the individuals yet we know the stories it's just it's just um how how we're going to gain the trust the other thing is is this is not a a permanent uh venture it is a project that's going to last x number of months or if we get say number 500 or thousand whatever if we if we find x let's just say a particular number and say if we collected enough information that's specifically if you revise it statistically would be significant it's 200 300 500 1000 and if we reach that point that's it we stop it the information the information that is collected the information is collected is not going to be stored the only time is going to be used is for the analysis and there are no identifiers in terms of other than ethnicity we don't know the person we don't know the name we don't know the address we don't know any of that stuff so so it's just i just wanted to to um say that it can probably be done if we um take into consideration all the um deficiencies or all the mistrust or the status of the individuals that we are trying to get information from thank you commissioner phillips i apologize i missed your hand yeah no problem i i've been listening i think it's going to be a hard sell to the public period i think it's um and yet my it's part of our role to be able to explain it as to why we're collecting this data and why we need this information but i'm thinking of people who i would reach out to and explain this to it would be that information is not needed and i'm not giving it on some level and so uh you know i think we have to really set our our standards on this low i don't think we're going to get a lot of information this way i believe it's valuable information that we need but i don't i'm sitting here trying to figure out how we explain this or sell this to people that if they're stopped that this is a question that gets asked for research purposes or whatever i do do you think people are aware that officers just guess and check the box anyway that they always check a box i think people assume that yeah i think people assume that order automatically uh and i think you would get some blow back when people if an officer says well can you tell me what your ethnicity is i can i believe people are going to say why do you need to know that and don't you know you already know what i am or whatever you understand what i'm saying so i think we just got to figure out how we educate people and and how we get true data but i'm sitting there struggling trying to figure out how this will work you know we have time but we really have to figure it out so yeah it's definitely not an easy it would not be an easy thing to do um i think i think it is significant though that the information is being collected now right and and and and that's a thing and so you know you could certainly not you but one could certainly go in the opposite direction and say don't collect it at all but that's not helpful either and so what we have now are our guesstimates about that and there are people in ann arbor who may look ambiguous but have clearly stated even in our meeting that they are they get a box check that says unknown often and and they feel like um you know why why didn't they just ask me what that is or and other people feel like uh kind of what you said is uh you know what i am right all of the whole gamut is possible i i think it is fascinating though to understand that what we're working with now are guesses and assumptions yeah and that may be good enough because it's what we have but and and and i would suggest that that data would not be collected for a research project as much as it would be collected for accuracy because the public deserves to know exactly what is happening and so that data should be accurate no matter what happens with it if it's never analyzed and so i wouldn't suggest that this is you know happening for a research project but as much as it is happening because the information about drivers that's who gets stopped needs to be as accurate as possible um and so it would be in the interest of accuracy more than a a research project yeah i agree with all of that i just think it's going to be uh a hard sell from the police perspective i represent a trusted non-profit agency and we have to ask those questions and we get blow back why do you need that information what are you using this information for and we're a trusted organization that's a social service agency that's helping people with specific things at that time so i can just imagine what this would cause for the police department so i think we need to just you know no no i i agree so i'm not suggesting that if this is an easy thing that people can just snap do so please understand that um but i do really really worry about this um commissioner mary you know i i just want to say the same thing is that i worked with access and access in in derby and been around for 50 years and serving the community and still sometimes you were asked question like why do you need to know why do i have to give that information how you you get a grant and you're going with a report what did they ask you you know there is this lack of trust so before my thinking is if we decide to go to the city council and ask for something like that we have to have all these answers under our belly answer you know because if we don't have the answer it's too early to ask the secret for resolution of this nature so maybe we need more discussion ask the other then they do it if we know of other people doing it then when we go to the city with the resolution say we would like this to be done we have to have an answer how do we get the trust of the community how are we going to inform people that this is going to happen otherwise we're going to find ourselves in a position like just as bad if not worse agreed um commissioner carter yeah i um i i agree with commissioner phillips i i don't think it's something that should be asked i just i i would i would not want to be asked that question i'm wondering how often the police officer cannot tell i mean is that a large percentage and and i guess i'm just willing to go with their best assessment i i just i feel i don't know and i it's no data that i'm coming from it's just from a personal feeling i would not want to be asked that question so i i think we ought to go with what we can get council member rum lawyer and then commissioner tudor hargraves um you know i just have a same type of um reaction to it i know a person of color and that wouldn't i'd be skeptical even though i was born and raised here and i'm part of government i just for some reason i just don't like those invasive questions many times um i i write other many times as an arab i'm supposed to fill in caucasian and i still to this day don't understand that and so i'm glad this discussion is being had i just was interested in whether there's any uh movement at the state level to require this so we're we're dealing with consistent information across the board with all jurisdictions and in law enforcement agencies in having this information given at a time when people are probably in the most apt position to give accurate qualified information whether there's any efforts being made at the state level commissioner todora hargreaves um i i think i'm going to give the viewpoint from the other side of it and it's not um because i feel we should be asking the question or that people will not feel uncomfortable i i agree with all of you people will feel uncomfortable um but i am somebody who's um ethnic background is often mistaken um you know um i i am regularly mistaken as latina and it's even been as recent as last year someone who'd known me for over 10 years um an acquaintance um in the community and she was shocked to hear that i was not latina she has known me all these years and she thought for sure that's what i was um so i understand from the viewpoint of data collection that mistakes do get made and and i don't know how often it is i just know it um i'm somebody it happens to regularly so um it is it is there and you know maybe we need to do a sample or something like that to see is it a problem you know maybe it's just me maybe there's only five of us out there that it happens to regularly but you know it it might be um something that we may want to look at just to be sure that we have as accurate of data as we can apparently dr karpiak has his hand up and i cannot tell that from the screen dr carpiac hey so thanks i i just i'm really appreciating this this thoughtful discussion i just wanted um to say two things wait hold on one second could you could you just like give could you give a couple sentences to explain why you happen to know so much about policing why i should happen to know so much about policing yes i don't think we've ever said that in this forum and so that might be helpful background for what you might be getting ready to say which i have no idea what that is sure so uh i've been studying policing uh in in several contexts across the world for over 20 years now i wrote my dissertation at uc berkeley on community policing reforms in france actually and i'm a professor at emu in the department of sociology anthropology and criminology teaching mainly the classes i'm policing for um about 12 years now i'm the director of of smart so uh my my research has has very much been on uh kind of how to assess how to uh make um decisions about and how to understand uh specifically police administration uh across across various contexts so that's i guess a little bit of my cv um but just two things i wanted to say um one i just wanted to make clear because we kind of i know i opened the door a little bit when i when i mentioned the open policing project but the the specific project that smart is doing with ann arbor pd is in no way really related to this question of police asking race or not we have no we haven't done much analysis yet but we have no indication that the problems that that occurred in the michigan state police data where over 40 percent of the the records were marked as unknown so any analysis of racial bias couldn't be assessed that that is not the case with the ann arbor police data we i could talk more about and certainly chief cox could probably talk more about the specific categories and arbor police use in their traffic stop data which are which are different um from for example what the county uses and what and what the the the state uses they're different categories actually that they use um and i could talk a little bit more about this issue of we should please ask ask those kinds of things is a complicated one that probably could use more more discussion but there's actually benefits to both approaches um for example if one wanted to do an analysis of whether police individual police officers are making stops or making decisions based on racial bias actually the data that the racial data that uses their ascribed racial category is probably actually more useful than how people themselves self-identify because what in an order says that you want to understand what police themselves are seeing and then track their decisions from what they see on the other hand police described racial data might not give access to for example if there are systemic biases for example on a systemic level whether we're exposing uh ann arbor residents or or people who come through ann arbor of color if we're exposing them to more forms of penalty through our traffic enforcement uh that might not be uh as is legible um in officer ascribed race versus selfless crime race so it's a complicated it's a complicated issue um but as to right now is really not a part of the traffic stop study that we're doing as of right now thank you for clarifying that especially because you know the research study thing got thrown around a little bit and so i i would have clarified that had you not that this has nothing to do with the ongoing project at all um and and that data you know we're looking at three four years ago um and so that those data points just are what they are and will not be changed by any future conversations at all so totally unrelated to that um that conversation um i'm sorry councilmember song although if if there is interest in like the rece the researching part of that there's a really good 538 article uh talking about encounter denominator versus population denominator it's why statistics don't capture the full extent of the systemic bias in policing so it's good it's from last year i i i i have had to read some articles like that about um thanks to dr carpiac so um uh commissioner carter i don't want to i don't want to just beat this to death but it was interesting when dr karpiak talks about the difference between self-identification and how the police identify maybe that's even more important how do the police identify the person that they are dealing with i think that's very interesting that's why we are lucky to have experts yeah absolutely absolutely um commissioner hoffman did you have your hand up as well i i had one and and if if the issue of of asia or not asking about ethnicity at stop traffic stop is not is not really pursued uh at least of the data collected you can't go and change it for prospective data if that question is going to be there uh would it be easier for the duration of the of the project so if we're going to be doing a year or a few months or so down the road that individuals who are conducting the research would be accompanying the police and they will ask the question not the police the the researchers would ask the question would this somehow make things a little bit easier for responders for for the people are going to be stopped that that it's not it's not the bias coming from the police it's just this is for research purposes only and i'm doing the research not the police the police stopped you but this is my question to you is this there are a lot of different ways to do it i mean you know the city could explore adding more boxes you know i prefer not to say or i i mean we have an unknown box because no one is actually saying um why is arab american not an option for example so the city could explore lots of different things um and and as commissioner carter said i don't want to like belabor the points so we could um so we could move on and talk about traffic stops in another context which is i am sure you are all aware that the city of philadelphia has joined several other cities in having police officers no longer make what they call low-level traffic stops and so those things include temporary registration permits that are visible to law enforcement but in the wrong place for example motorists would no longer be stopped for such infraction they would no longer be stopped for having one light one brake light out one headlight out one running lamp out one turn signal out one light in a turn signal out one light out in a cluster of lights all these things are currently illegal in michigan um objects hanging from a rear view mirror that do not obstruct the driver's view i know some of you have had conversations about graduation tassels um i was recounting how when my daughter was in a wheelchair we had the handicapped placard that we'd have to put in when we parked and take it out when we backed out of the parking space and i got ticketed at some point for having the thing hanging while we were still driving and we had to constantly take it up and down and got a ticket once because it was in the front window but not hanging so i got two tickets for the reverse kinds of things um and and those are things for which the um philadelphia police can no longer stop people they could certainly um mail them in you know citations these are um civil infractions as we have discussed here before um and they can certainly ticket them for those things if they're stopping them for something else like running a red light etc um and so um they they have made a pretty clear delineation of you know things they they were they did not have an exhaustive list but they have you know kind of indicated these are primary things that officers may stop people for as far as traffic violations but these things are um lower level is what they call them sort of infractions that we are not going to have um uh officers are not no longer going to be able to pull people over and ticket them for solely these things um there is of course i think a 90-day or 120-day training period for police to get used to the new law and um then it will be implemented um you all know that the washington county prosecutor talked about pretextual stops and he did clarify sometimes it kind of sounds like a dirty word but that police officers are often able to cite any number um of infractions to um to pull someone over and that they were no longer going to prosecute cases where it seemed as if evidence was collected after you know that kind of stop um i have had an officer sit me down and list just off the top of his head at least 50 kinds of tiny infractions for which they could pull anyone over at any time um so the city of philadelphia's list is certainly not exhaustive of that um but it's an interesting thing to ponder um whether um those are things that that this city might consider um whether it is necessary or appropriate to pull people over for those kinds of stops um in the in in ellie savage um i don't know what they call it in his bulletin sort of when he made that announcement he cited um lots of stops and you guys have heard me say that traffic stops are the number one way that people come in contact with the police um we know you've already talked about undocumented people here this is um i'm sure all of you have been in the position i've certainly had people um undocumented people talk to me about the fear with which they drive or ride with someone if they have papers if a family member does not have documentation the fear of driving to you know simple things like the grocery store or the market for fear being pulled over um and that then leading to you know other kinds of consequences for them um and so we might want to ponder where um you know the city what the city would be willing to consider if anything in that vein um the other thing that philadelphia did in tandem with that was that they made all traffic stop information available to the public and so they are every month going to publish information about where a traffic stop occurred what in what area it occurred what police officer was assigned to that area the date the time the location year make model the driver's race ethnicity and gender the race ethnicity and gender of any passengers the primary vehicle violation and any and all secondary violations um what police action was taken whether there was a warning given or a ticket given or whether um people were arrested whether the car was searched or not whether people were searched or not whether the stop resulted in contraband um whether it was a firearm or narcotics or other kinds of uh you know other contraband that might have been collected and all of that information will now be um publicly available and it will be updated every month and then an annual report detailing that information will be published each year by the police department and what that would mean for ann arbor is that the information that we have now about traffic stops for a couple of years would be public to everyone and there's an argument that that data already belongs to the people because it is the people being pulled over and stopped and that um that is certainly there there's no argument that that that's certainly a step in the direction of transparency um comments questions and thoughts about that you all are surprisingly quiet on that one okay um i was waiting for someone else to join in first but um uh i think that a lot of that is great i i think you know i don't know how we get that happening here or county-wide or statewide but but uh i know personally myself as an african-american man i've been stopped on numerous occasions by different police departments and it seemed frivolous as to why i was stopped uh and it's been because of things like you have a tassel hanging or your license plate is covered um and by the way can i um you know in the past it hasn't happened in a long time but you know can i look in your car those kind of things right um so and i know plenty of young people who um i work with who we try to educate with you know all of those concerns about all of those things you know that that these might be reasons that you might get stopped um so i think that there are reasons why some of those things should not be on a listen and uh chairperson uh just like you i've spoken to other police officers who've given me a list of all the possible ways that they can stop someone and i'm not saying that i i think that the the issue is also about fairness and equality right that if are you stopping people in other neighborhoods just like you would stop people in poor neighborhoods or minority neighborhoods for the same thing that kind of stuff so i think it's something for us to discuss i think we got a while to try to figure out how we um add those kind of things and how we take into you know talk with the police department to find out about those things i think the information the data that will come from you know uh 17 18 and 19.
for that question um so so in some context we'll talk more about that on friday is in terms of what the accountability measures will be yeah so through our ccic work which we have a meeting on wednesday morning through your strategic planning session and then ongoing conversations with representatives of our teaching and support staff we'll have that carved out for you okay other questions i've got one more doctor in regards to letter n um the health and dental plan premiums so the the dental uh the proposed uh a decrease in five percent premiums and the health plan proposed a five percent um increase in premiums and and my question is in regards to the health premiums whether that's for mr phillips or again for dr roberts whoever um would that be see if i can figure out how to word this so it appears that the the trust the reserves are in in pretty pretty decent shape and so that the the rationale for the five percent increase in premiums would you say that could be defined more as would it fit the category of a necessary increase or more of a somewhat modest increase to avoid perhaps larger increases in the future i think you actually characterized that or summarized your question pretty well mr griswold mr phillips address that since he sits in and helps organize those health trust meetings really good question mr grimes and it's um i would characterize it as a break-even amount the trend in healthcare is usually around seven percent and so even if you wanted to break even we would say we were around seven percent but based on the expected expenses that that our consultant mj provided we with this five percent increase i'm gonna try to remember the numbers we we would be anywhere from a plus 700 000 at the end of 2022 to a worst-case scenario is negative 1.1 million what about 3.4 million now our target is thirty percent of expected costs which is about six million dollars we get to six million we feel like when we're in good shape and and you know we could take a maybe someday a uh a no increase here but um based on what we expect expenses to be in the number of employees we expect to cover where our range is we could and no one can predict claims that's the worst part of this whole this whole game but plus 700 000 to negative 1.19 mr phillips was that that range included three different models i believe three different um possibilities that were shared with us based upon expectations projections right ranges of possible projected costs so does that range cover the year of or is that eating into what we currently have in reserve well at the end of this year what do we what are we having reserves carries forward to next year right and so it covers the calendar year 2022.
and so we're recommending that we actually delete policy 75 42 which is the next policy because it's all included in the updates to policy 7540 but the information is the same the one thing that did change in this policy is we've always filtered corporation-owned devices off-campus for students but the new law came out last year that we also not not only need to filter that for students but we also have to filter corporation-owned devices for staff members so if a teacher has a corporation-owned ipad or corporation-owned chromebook currently when they come in to school that is always being filtered but when they leave it is not this is this the law does require us to do that for both students which we've always done off of campus but then also for staff members and so that is a change here in the policy where it says both students and staff to filter internet access as their off campus as well so that is the one change here and then this policy the changes in this policy um incorporate the information that was in policy 7542 so the recommendation would be to adopt the changes for 75.40 and then delete 7542 policy 7542 thank you dr dudley any questions thanks and um obviously if we pass this we will be sharing the information with um staff that their devices are now being filtered not just on school property but also yes any corporation-owned devices so anything that's owned personally by the staff members that's not being filtered off campus but any corporation-owned devices yes and currently many of our corporation-owned devices are being filtered off campus already only because like roger and i and tom we all have what a vpn so when we go into the internet we're hooking up to a vpn and that's already being filtered wherever we are um it's the ones that like a chromebook is not hooking into a vpn when they're off campus um they're not hooking into a vpn ever so they're not being filtered right now off campus but they will be and then so on-campus non-corporation-owned devices if they're logging onto our wi-fi then they're filtered if they're using cellular data yeah that is correct for so that's both for students and staff yes thank you any other questions okay then we will skim past 5.5 which is the first reading of policy 7542 since you've already discussed that that is planned to be deleted since the information is included in 7540.
mr hoffman is there a second second second mr angel any questions or comments for ms reese thank you on the board's behalf matt for all the work behind the scenes on this one obviously to get us within what we need to be able to move forward for next year and year after year question questions i was in favor signify saying aye aye opposed most curious five-zero thank you mr reese and uh mr reece looks like it's back to you for the new middle school bid package number two that's correct this is the second bid package for the new taft middle school um there were 17 bid categories uh we did receive uh over 67 bids 67 bids across those 17 categories with that we are recommending 15 of the bid categories or 15 contracts totaling 41 million 486 thousand 212 dollars that is under our budget of 44 million dollars along with that a lot of the notice proceed in the corresponding um sorry the word i'm looking for is escaping me right now um alternate bids that were also included apologize for that um so with that we're recommending approval of those 15 contracts and notice proceeds for the new taft middle school and second bid package uh mr cut source is here from skillman corporation if you have any specific questions regarding any of the categories thank you mr reese you've heard the recommendation to approve the 15 bids from mr reece do we have a motion to approve motion to prove the 15 bids and defer uh category number 12 and third categories 12 and 13.
all right we're way past that it's 2500 a day liquidated damages until they get a full completed project the track was scheduled to be done october 1st and we're now tracking the liquidations on that the the good news the bad news we all you know the contractor is not bad actually the contractor promotes is a well-known contractor does professional fields does college fields does high school fields all throughout the state of indiana the indianapolis colts and dorsal and for some reason they said this is the first project that has gone so poorly on their end the same subcontractors and everything else so um at least from our perspective we like to feel like it's the first one they've been caught on okay what that means to you is you get a higher quality project because the items have been observed acknowledged by the contractor as non-compliant with the contract documents and then replaced we like to put estimated values on that to date including liquidated damages the estimated value received is almost it's approaching 400 000 so you're in a pretty good spot with the project being like uh is the meaning of that so offsets late project a little money back that gives us money to use somewhere else so any questions was there an upgrade in the track can you talk about that yes yes go ahead yeah the uh so so the delays pushed the track past october 1st the reason that that october first date was set was because there's weather conditions you can see out here we've got cold temperatures getting down in the 30s all right well putting that surface on there you have to have a certain temperature the uh the poly we're scheduled for a latex track service latex thank you uh latex it has to be like 40 degrees and rising during the day well we're getting down into the 30s now they didn't want to risk not hitting that target not being able to deliver a working track for you next spring so they upgraded the track to a holly paul thank you that that is a hundred thousand dollar upgrade okay and the reason they upgraded that is because of the temperature sensitive nature that can take you down into the 30s okay so we got 30 degrees and rising now we can put this track down matter of fact it's down right there we're waiting for a good day now to put the stripes around um we're waiting on weather to reinstall the concrete for the discus and the shotput and then there's a few pieces of the sidewalk around there that are getting removed or in place as well so anything else looked nice [Music] we judge people not by their their flaws or what they don't do it's what they do when something happens and and they did they did what they were supposed to do they came to the table they fixed it they offered some offsets to the school uh that we still have to finalize uh but the end of the day you're gonna have a little bit extra money and then there should be no concerns that we had a quality contractor out there they're supposedly the best in the industry so yeah everything looks great good great thank you a little bit about construction phasing um so this is going to affect the students and all of the faculty this is just for your example it's or information it's you know the aerial photograph of how it looks now because north is to to the right this is the high school macanally center and the new construction goes in the connection between the high school and the mack milwaukee center so you know this is a critical location on your campus and there has to be access for the contractors materials and all the things that you can imagine so there's a few steps getting to the point where we believe it's a well-organized project the first step is the yellow is a new access drive it's a permanent access drive that will allow access back to the maintenance areas because you are going to cut that off with the red which is the new new construction the other part that goes along with that is there needs to be a way for the students to get over to mcanally so we're going to talk with mr gibbon and his staff and dan moore tomorrow but what's kind of proposed is a walkway coming from this entrance along the west side and going back into mcnally and it could be a covered walkway it could be open on one side for security you know there's a lot of options for that because right now the students walk outside all this is farther so this would form kind of a wall that so the trucks would be able to get in through the yellow the students would be able to get around on the purple to access between the two buildings the other component that's kind of important here is there's a fiber optic running between the buildings and a couple other things those would run on that temporary walkway because they're going to get cut early early in the process another particularly tricky part is on the survey there was a water line mark well we thought it was a three or four inch water it was a 12 inch city utility water line it runs right between your building like this so we've been working with the city utility as well as a civil engineer and there'll be a new water line that runs in a tunnel underneath your building with the pipe in it the pipe breaks it'll drain out onto the ground it won't fill up your basement or anything like that and the mayor has been directly involved in these conversations he's been very helpful in that so the new pipe would be put in then the old one cut before they'd be able to excavate um so uh that's gonna we're gonna lose the south portion of the south gym fairly early although that was intended anyhow it's just a matter of timing and then the final component of it is the purple is the area where the contractor will be allowed to operate and there's two different phases in this and one of them and this is kind of a detail there needs to be a new entrance out to the north so the students can get in and out without getting close to the construction and the city is actually previously when we met with the mayor and the city engineer there they already want to do this for for the schools and just as a reminder there's one that they will do um into the middle school a lot we told them we're not ready to specifically tell you where to put it at although we are now and they're fine with that they'll do the engineering of it and install it whenever we need it this will be a temporary cut for construction that will be followed up so this will be how the contractors will operate first thing in the morning and then at dismissal and then after the buses have come and gone and everybody's dropped off then some barricades would be removed and then the contractors would have access to the street because they'll have equipment materials and men coming in so there's going to be daily coordination needed between the contractors and the transportation staff and and everybody to tell you the truth so you can see it's a little bit complicated but i think if we all work at it and we get a good contractor it'll work it'll work just fine and then inside the building there's basic phasing of that that needs to go on we have been having those conversations with chad wallace and the high school staff and those will be continued in the next couple weeks so is there any questions about that um jumping around there a little bit it'll be messy and we'll have to have to work around it but one of the reasons we're having these conversations early is so that we can obviously eventually have conversations with with our teachers right because we certainly want to minimize any disruption to the to the educational day but we might have to you know work on different patterns and things of that nature so it is our goal to obviously come up with those answers and have some conversations so that way we can't have a final plan but it's still really early in that process so to talk a little bit more about the specific design some things maybe you haven't heard before because it has been evolving people of that one of mike yeah so this is a the floor plan of the new library media center and this is the existing outside wall of the building right across here so this is a new expansion and you can see it's all one media center with glass along the corridor and then some of the images you see to the side like this is the general feel of the reference desk and you can see some of the lighting and wood tone materials and the wood tone is not it's intentional there's quite a body of research now that talks about using natural materials when people touch them they actually learn more retain information better benefits plastics and things like that so that was one of the conversations that we had with the staff just scroll down through here some of the things that you might see in that in that space these are some additional images this is looking out into the courtyard shelving types of furniture and the colors that the staff has been working with us on some other views and types of seating and we're being conscientious of having places for kids to plug in their portable devices informational streams that we're hoping to do and at least have the technology set up that as the school grows into it they have lots of places to display information and collaborative work with the students lower shelving in some places mostly high shelving around the perimeter so it's easier to see and these are intended to just give you a general feel of the type of to the right is the looking out in the courtyard to the left is back towards the corridor uh just for information this is what it would look like out of the courtyard this is the new the new new construction it's proposed to be brick like most of your building is some of the finishes just to show you some smattering of them these are the types of uh images that your staff's been looking at as they work with our our design team i have to admit i haven't been in all those meetings so i don't know the final decisions but uh winfred williams is the project architect for the high school is working and others are working with your staff trying to get just some accent paints and the school colors and and keep them in the kind of purples and grays and various options and i think those are starting to vet themselves out in terms of the final finishes and you know the design process has gone through uh we're using three-dimensional images so this the staff can really see what the plan is there is all the doors are being replaced with new hardware several of them are do not need ada in compliance so a lot of the door swings will be changed i believe all the chalkboards are being changed to whiteboards new flooring in all the rooms new ceiling pads at the very least in all the rooms some of the rooms will get a new grid so you walk in it'll feel like a new classroom all the finishes have been near the furniture new casework going in in the classroom this happens to be an example of one of the science classrooms and then one of the alternates it's going to be a little difficult to fully gather from this but this is a floor plan the grid the hatched area is the existing this is the cafeteria this is the servery and this is the kitchen and this is the white area is part of the base bid which is new construction there'll be an opening between the existing cafeteria and this new construction so you'll at least get some new seating because the cafeteria is just so crowded and the alternate which i think everybody's pretty excited about is to completely reconfigure the kitchen area we're using a lot of equipment but create a better uh more uh grab-and-go type of servery the types of things you might see in a college campus and you can see it pops out here and allows some additional allows the same additional seating down through here along with all new finishes and a real upgrade to the to the uh to the cafeteria again i think everybody's really hopeful that that can occur so that's kind of a snapshot of where we're at um if you've got any questions i'd sure like to answer it you know i like to ask a question back on tz when we talked about the inspection that you all did and so forth and i helped build a couple houses in my lifetime and always thought that the fascia board was put there so the house could breathe and i understand now we've got a maybe a little problem with that patient is that something you looked at or have you tried to look in insulation inside that building in the ceiling or is that something the future you're going to try to look at well we have not received the official report although we have talked with the testing company and on a house you know it's very common to leave the soffit so air can get up and flow across the insulation and get out so it stays ventilated up there and uh however in this building there is no insulation above the ceilings okay so when that air goes up it's basically going in right above the ceiling tile and uh while that is typical house construction it is not the same on commercial the other thing with these commercial buildings is there they have some level of pressurization so and so when they leak like that it creates an additional input of humid air and i'm going to get some of these comments wrong because our engineers are going to help us with this but one of the things that in talking with the testing company there are very specific standards that buildings should comply with adopted by the army corps of engineers that how many cubic feet of men that a building should lead per square foot and this particular one leaked so much that they could barely do the testing and uh their suggestion was you do this in two steps first we would find a mechanism to close up the the socket and then test them again because there's likely other leaks that they couldn't find with their smoke but just didn't have enough pressure to do it i might suggest a vintage part vintage veneration suggestion thank you yeah and you you know the other good thing that could come out of this is you might save some utility dollars because you won't be leaking as much energy out of them so you have to come final solutions but it was good to finally find out well thank you very much thank you mike and i'll we'll follow up this report in the email so you can have a perfect copy of it yeah great thanks okay next item on the agenda is old business we have no old business so we move on to new business and first item is the tentative agreement for the 2021-2022 collective bargaining agreement between greencastle community school corporation and the greencastle classroom teachers association mr gibbon yeah so as you know as you can recall we've worked really hard to help improve our financial situation at green castle schools and over the past year we've had to make some some difficult decisions and we've had some some staff members leave that we've decided not to replace positions because we need to right-size our staffing because the students have left we have not made any adjustments in staff because in part we know that fewer students bring fewer dollars and so that's helped us to reduce our our operating costs from the educational fund we also know that the general assembly last spring increased school funding and that's a significant boost as well and on top of that this fall our student count on the first calendar was 1773 students which is plus 69 students from last spring and also up from last fall so all of those three things have helped us improve our financial situation we still have work to do to to build enough of a you know 10 to 15 percent reserve in our educational fund but it's also allowed us to take a great step forward um in our school corporation that that i'm very proud of is by the end of the next collective bargaining year we have to meet that forty thousand dollar starting pay requirement um and there's also a requirement you have to spend 45 percent of your total state tuition support on teacher salaries and this collective bargaining agreement really catapults us forward and helps us accomplish the first one and that's to set a starting salary for somebody with a bachelor's degree right at 40 000 master's degree at forty one thousand dollars and a doctoral uh a doctorate at forty two thousand um and so previously those same numbers were thirty five thousand thirty six one eighty one and 37 402 and then it also helps us shift the top of the scale from 62419 to 64 522 and 66 700 to 68 275 69 982 and 71 689 so i think this keeps us very competitive and obviously it's a good faith effort and you know we obviously want to support our staff and our teachers when we can and that's a i think a significant victory in doing so so you might kind of be asking yourself what does that mean for like an individual teacher so on an individual visual teacher level um somebody brand new to somebody returning can expect roughly anywhere between an additional 48 to 6100 which is huge our teachers who worked over 120 days last year will obviously get the adjustment to the new level but then they'll also move up one level or kind of earn their step um if you think of percentage it's roughly between eight to sixteen point six percent um that number is the percent is higher at the bottom of the scale and tapers off as you work your way up but that's really big really huge um appreciate the support of the gcta and the patients and working to to obviously make these improvements but to also recognize that we need to be responsible and we don't want to take one step forward and two steps back and and trying to move forward to the plan that we can't fund or can't sustain the other big piece of this is the transition to a new eca schedule so many of our staff members who also sponsor clubs academic academic teams or athletic teams we'll also see a little bit of a bump there as well as we move to an index based off a percent off of 40 000 so pretty significant um it took some time to get to but i'm really proud um that we got there and we're getting there quick so this is the tentative agreement hearing that we have to have the next step will be for the gcta to ratify and then we'll be back to the table i was hoping to have a special board meeting maybe next monday to for the board to ratify i didn't know if we advertised one for early afternoon i'll be at like four o'clock if that would work for the board to attend and if we could kind of work towards that if you could i don't know if you're available if we have we're good i'm good what time is that again four o'clock it'll be the only agenda item let me see what i can do okay yeah i'm good today so i think we can have a majority if that's okay then we'll move forward with doing that that way staff doesn't have to stay or hang around for for another meeting to approve that so we'll work on advertising that meaning thank you for working on that yes yes i'm glad we can give back so now this this is a hearing do we need to open this up for comment also so it wasn't it's not technically hearing i mean it was on the agenda we've allowed public comment so we've satisfied that requirement uh no no no so it's not really yeah no it's just informational we have to summarize it we have to allow public comment and if any i mean if anybody has other public health i feel like yeah sure just simply here thank you yeah thank you yeah and so kind of with that being said um the next thing would be to kind of turn and take a look at some of our other employee classifications and to look at increases for those groups as well okay good enough next item on the agenda is an approval request for the adoption of capital projects plan school bus will replace school bus replacement plan and the 2022 budget related resolutions mr giving yep so as you recall it's kind of a two-fold effort working between the school corporation and the county council who actually adopts or approves our budget that step has happened and so this is the final step with for the really the 2022 budget process so it's my recommendation that the board adopts the capital project plan school bus replacement plan and also the 2022 budget related resolutions still moved second motion in a second any discussion hearing note all in favor all opposed motion passes next item on the agenda is an approval request for resolution number one use of event link for online payments to officials yeah so this is for athletics the board actually approved using event link to pay officials uh the eca count at a previous meeting but we needed to formalize it in the form of a resolution and so that's why we're bringing it back to you this month so that way we can satisfy the state board of accounts requirement okay i make a motion we pass this resolution second okay motion in a second any questions discussion hearing none all in favor all right all opposed motion passes next item is an approval request for a wednesday school supervisor position at greencastle middle school yeah so much like the the high school has a win to school wednesday school detention essentially the middle school is seeking the same opportunity to hold and hold a wednesday school since essentially a three three hours after school and a lot of times the administrators use that consequence in lieu of a suspension and so we think that this will hopefully be very helpful and hopefully help to alleviate alleviate some of the discipline issues and help course correct and keep kids on track i'll make a motion to create this school supervisor job position in the middle school okay we have a motion in a second any questions or discussion hearing none all in favor all opposed motion passes next item on the agenda is an approval request to accept several donations first being mary allison's children trust to k4 after school program in the amount of two thousand dollars murray allison children's trust to school or green castle middle school in the amount of eight thousand five hundred fifty six dollars and forty five cents mary allison children's trusted dear meadow primary in the amount of three thousand five hundred dollars jeff and denise sigworth to green castle high school boys swim team in the amount of eight hundred and sixty five dollars soil and water ncrs to rid path primary in the amount of two thousand dollars olive turk trust to green castle high school in the amount of twelve thousand three hundred thirty one dollars and thirty three cents seniors towing llc to green castle high school athletics in the amount of one thousand five hundred dollars and mcdonald's to green castle high school greek has a high school tiger cub podcast in the amount of five hundred dollars that's rough math that's about thirty two thousand dollars yeah that's very impressive yeah significant money and i'll say a lot of the mary allison children's trust were individual individually submitted teacher grants by staff members and we blew the other i'm going to self-promote here so it's going to brag on our district we blew the other county school districts away it wasn't even close i think we had close to 18 awarded and the other three school districts may have had like four or five combined and so that's a testament to our staff members and advocating for their students and needs and supporting their kids it's definitely something to be proud of and it's nice to have community partners willing to to support our teachers and students very cool okay let's get a motion to approve this i will make that motion to approve now a second time okay we have a motion a second favor all right call opposed motion passes last on the new business is an approval request for ers to install wireless cameras for the central office and bus transporter for er ers wireless trs wireless company sorry install cameras here at central office transportation center and actually includes a couple of i believe card readers for our building as well because we're replacing some of our exterior doors and we think these cameras are long overdue and needed and that'll provide complete coverage of our assets throughout our entire school district so i appreciate corey um securing those quotes we got a quote from one of the companies that we work with on a lot of our projects they happen to be high bidder we actually bought a reduced quote from another reputable reputable company being ers wireless and we'd like to move forward with that work okay let's go with that yeah i assume the only issue is just depending upon what they have stocked or in inventory as far as equipment i assume that they have some of those things but yeah i mean i don't know how long we've gone without here i hate to say this i actually thought for a long time we actually had cameras here because we we've had a few but those are no longer operational um but it'd just be good to have that there'll actually be a camera placed here in the boardroom um and reception obviously over at transportation center we have a lot of blind spots and this will help to fill in some of those gaps so i would assume work would commence as soon as they receive some of those equipment pieces um they might even be able to begin without having everything in place doing a lot of the wiring and things of that nature so they can just plug them in right okay okay sounds good i'll make a motion second okay emotion in a second any discussion carrying that all in favor all right all opposed motion passes next item on the agenda is other business does anyone have any other business for some reason it popped into my head right as i was pulling in um do we have any status update on the dog oh yeah the puppy dog's supposed to be here i think maybe the first week in november finishing up its training course okay yep but we will uh dory the doodle dory after the dory from find in finding nemo we'll uh make a visit to one of our board meets sometime all right perfect the kids voted on that name and selected it so cool okay last item on the agenda is adjournment i get a motion to adjourn make a motion second okay the motion is second all in favor all opposed motion passes thank you for coming and be careful going home thank you everyone you
nobody's home westfield working to get the ball out and they will valez is just going to clear it out of bounds allows his team to regroup weldon will be taking the throwing little light on the fanfare tonight but we've got some students walking in now the girls will be playing later tonight at seven o'clock for their first playoff game of season pachetta with the ball now back to karana karana one touch pass more no more no finds evans evans tries to get a shot on and it's just left to the post vanesspin will be taking the goal kick he'll boot it up to midfield craft chuck ball stolen by kirana to luke mazza to sonny mazza and back to luke mazza luke mazza races up the side a pullback move ball is stolen but shettle is able to knock it down and keep it in the zone luke mazza sends it over to karana at the top of the box tomorrow no more no is going to rip a shot on net but it's blocked by the corey ball goes to the corner to pachetta pachetta will try and cross it in front of the net and van oostveen comes up with a stop they're going to say that ball was out of bounds on pachetto's cross so vanessa is going to have a goal kick here out to midfield salopa pachetto takes the ball to evans well corey tries a little scorpion heel touch to himself it's a whistle west westfield will have a free kick and blonde will send it up it's headed by jacob paschetto collins gains control karana tries to get a touch loses it but more knows there to support him mourinho sends it up to the attacking side for luke mazza ball trickles out of bounds off of bush east long metal throwing bruschetta throws it inside the 18 and finds evans evans can't get a head on it ball comes up to mazza mazza can't put it home weldon will take a shot on net but it's blocked edelson send it to salopa salopa back to edelson edelson a give-and-go pass to salopa salopa's got some running room masa contests him slopa to the middle tries to find crab chuck and he just misses brunel the ball now east law mello making their way back into the offensive zone a cross pass to luke mazza up the sideline mazda's racing in turns his hips gets the cross on and evans buries it one nothing east long meadow a great play from luke mazza a through ball mazza turns the hips finds evans far post and evans just one touches it in past then usfeen now who had that uh that pass around the 40-yard line uh i believe it was was that brunel or evans i it was it was it was one of the two it could have honestly been standing past that everything out just a great play it was a great play whoever did the through ball kind of quite honestly it was someone on the left side is evans or might even have ben weldon i think it was evans who had the secondary assist on his own goal that was a great play great assist to a self goal from evans salopa dribbling now bush with it he'll just send it in the middle patrick stevens no problem there just going to clear it out evan's a one touch up to joe president i believe on the sideline presnel paddles ball goes out of bounds off a press westfield throwing morneau goes up for it sonny maz has got some running room and van usefien is gonna come out and pounce on that ball 30 50 remaining in this first half ball goes out of bounds it's going to be east long metal throwing for enzo mazza or excuse me jacob paschetto the shadow finds more no in the middle more no just ball rolls just off his toe comes out to dante bates in the middle bates gets the ball touched around him by lacori presnell finds bates in a breakup defensive play there i think number eight of westfield number nine you can't tell mccorry racing up the sideline cut back move he'll send it cross into the middle to craft chuck crab chuck goes down and he is staying down ball comes off johnny mazza sonny maz is racing up the sideline touch pass into the middle find trying to find monroe and evans will just try and rip one on that crab chuck is up on his it's feet to see they're just shaking off uh let's be maybe a little bit of a bruise and it's gonna be a corner kick now for east long meadow ryan morneau morneau crosses it in to dante bates ball comes up to stephen stevens tries to get a one-timer to sonny mazza dante bates will take a shot on net his legs get taken out from under him he goes down but no call in the play so we got to see a little bit of some s feel wes excuse me westfield offensive attack there more no head balls when roll chase it down to bulan it comes to pachetto lacori sends it up to edelson and it's broken up by enzo mazza enzo mazza will send it cross field over to presnel fresno is able to regain control to dante bates to moreno moreno crossing in the middle to evans and evans gets a foot on it but it just sails over the crossbar another good look there for evans these salmon is just absolutely dominating so far they have plenty of shots on that so far westfield i don't know do they have one i don't i don't even think they have a shot they've had a little bit of offensive uh possession but it seems like east longmeadow when they're when they're on the attack everybody's on the attack the defenseman the midfielders and the strikers everybody's up in the play and westfield it just seems like some of the defenders are hanging back a little bit yeah the westfield's just having a tough time getting into the offensive zone with with numbers i mean east palmetto has had an efficient breakout the defenders have been able to shut everything down so far and so i mean you get you got some speed up there with for westfield with salopa and and uh craft chuck but they always seem to be outnumbered yep i mean even drew's playing aggressively i've been seeing him around midfield almost like when the ball is in westfield zone salopa one touch pass over to finney and he's contested by presnel president was beaten and there's no whistle on the play foul on east long meadow so it's gonna be a free westfield kick 26.40 remaining in this first half it is a one-nothing game spartans have the lead over the westfield bombers edelson with a kick he's going to send it way up trying to find salopa for a head ball he saw metal's defense is able to keep it out bush now and pass is broken up by bates bates will just clear it out comes back to bates presnel tries to get a touch on it weldon's there to back him up presnel pass tomorrow no borneau tries to find mazza in the middle edelson with a little chip nobody's home there clee or no steals that ball give him go to presnel and westfield's able to take possession chip pass up to salopa and mazza does a good job of blocking off salopa using his body and giroud is just going to scoop that one up looks like there's a little bit of words exchanged there between mazz on the ref perhaps on the contact morneau with a pullback spin move to get past crab chuck dante bates with the ball he'll switch fields to pachetto bashadow up the sideline of morneau monroe excuse me one row to dante bates in the middle and it's stolen by crab chuck and giroud's just gonna send that one all the way up the field to mazza bounces over the head of the westfield defender and mazza and i can't tell a number that is i think 17 kinery both go down so van usveen was able to scoop that ball up possible dangerous play there from east longmeadow could have put this could have added one there really quickly and ball is out of bounds off of east long meadow a little aggressive prey that play there from fresno good usage of the of uh the body by these east long metal players able to screen and block westfield players and bump them off the ball they do go good job and ball goes out of bounds again awful you saw metal players foot westfield throwing more now slight pass back to weldon but weldon can't find any options he kicks it out of bounds another westfield throwing more no sends it into the middle stolen by edelson monroe takes the ball he's got mazza to his left tries to find mazza it's cleared out right tomorrow no morneau can't do much with it and valez is just gonna boot that thing out it's gonna be throw in weldon will take this one so far and once again westfield is just desperately kicking it out and they haven't been able to get an attack going we've got some subs coming in ryan brunell come on karana and somebody else i'm not sure but they'll replace dante bates joe presnell and mike monroe and that was mad with an opportunity there corner kick for east long meadow will be corn ah it will be i didn't think someone was signaling to the ref that it was awful westfield player so now once again marino will come to take this corner kick more now sets sends it far post looking for evans evans gets a head on it ball comes out to salopa slope is by himself and a nice touch move and he'll send it through ball up to i can't tell who's the number that is 20 yeah well someone was running for a through ball oh i want to say but anyways he was off sides so he saw him out of free kick i'm pretty sure it was lacroix going for the through ball there might have been clee i think clee overlapped all the way back from the defensive position and he seems a little uh upset right now salopa definitely had him but waited a little too long and that's what caused klee to get pushed off sides salopa touch over to fortier mazza sends it up to luke mazza a little too much on that one ball goes out of bounds throw in for bush luke mazza gets a head ball on it back and forth they go with the head balls and burnell and valez go flying after the 50 50.
um one more thing i want to mention is that with the master plan and the services we will be funding the preparation of the master plan with facility funds and maintenance funds we will not be using a measure age funds and we will not be using general fund uh general funds i think with that uh maybe we can later and if you have any questions i think at this moment i'll just open it up to lpa and jim kessel lpa to just kind of talk about the process that we're going to be following thank you great thank you patty good afternoon president percy superintendent matsuda board members district staff and community my name is jim kissel i'm a principal and director of the k-12 practice for lpa and we're very pleased to be here today to be selected for the district's facilities master plan and we've been calling it a master plan update because we really want to build upon the good work that the district did beginning back in 2014 and then recognizing all the work you've done through measure h at all of your campuses so working with patty and working with nancy nien we crafted a process that was looking to bring a draft plan to the board in march of next year and a final adoption in april giving you a lot of time before any election deadlines come up to be looking at the language and all the other things that you have to do to place a measure on the ballot if you decide to go in that direction in terms of the master plan we did repeat some components of how the process was run with stakeholders in 2014 so we'll be engaging with committees at each of the various school sites we'll be having community forums to reach out to community members things that have changed since 2014 there's a lot more online components so we'll be having some online surveys to teach your staffs and students uh to get their input and every single group that we interact with you'll see at the back of the packet that we handed out it's not really a presentation or intended as such but you'll see some cost estimates and then charts with dots on them and basically as patty said we know in a master plan the needs are very often greater than your ability to fund in any one improvement cycle and so we want to make sure that we give the board all the data points to make an informed decision regarding what what projects are the highest priorities so every single stakeholder group that we interact with will be collecting what what in their perspective is the highest priority whether it's at their school site whether it is an educational program group that we're interacting or whether it's a community group and we'll bring all those data points to the board and basically look at that total need and we can work with you to run scenarios to to hone that project list to align with the dollars that you could have available to implement the program because i think we want to be really clear that the master plan is a road map that is that next phase of work that you want to do at your campuses and it really is a chance to communicate your vision and your need out to the community at large so there's just some samples of some of those documents uh within the um the packet that we handed you today the other difference from the 2014 plan is we may not end up with a binder as we did in 2014 that's a very static document and represents a point in time what we're proposing here is we actually have a master plan website all those same documents will be on that website in pdf format so that as your plan evolves over time you don't have to find all the binders bring them back fix something and then redistribute them you can just simply pull down that page or that pdf off the website and your master plan has been updated and even the website has opportunities for unlocking future elements as you move into implementation to communicate the good work that you're doing in terms of the projects to the community so it really can become kind of that one-stop shop for uh communities to learn about what you're doing with your facilities program so that's a little different from last time we aren't really printing binders anymore i think we're trying to be more green but also more flexible in terms of how easy it is to update your master plan as it evolves over time and so with that any questions that you might have for me in terms of the process or things you want to make sure that we address as we move forward into the master plans we'll be starting next week on the schedule that we're on it is an aggressive schedule so we will be moving very quickly okay i do i need to have the motion i forgot to do that okay so moved second so i have a motion in a second all in favor i mean discussion it's just discussion i'm really blowing it today it's only tuesday okay questions i know there's got to be some here i just wanted to um uh just ask do are we going to really have an extensive seven-month process like we did before um yes okay six months okay february i believe in tight february i think that's an important question because we do need to the information hopefully approved by the board by no later than april before the end of the school because you know it's important to inform our community of whatever our facilities needs are um yeah i just i'm bringing that up because you know people will remember we went through this process before but i'm i'm hearing that there's some uh different elements that you're going to be exploring so i appreciate i appreciate that you're going to do another extensive um you know yeah definitely right especially since so much has changed in the last few years other questions yes um you mentioned a number of stakeholders that you're going to be talking to how are those stakeholders going to be determined um the the school site committees i think would be selected or traditionally are selected by the principal or the representative at that school campus we give them suggestions about the type of participants we generally like to see you know including parents and students on that group as well for the school site committee and really see that committee at east campus as an ambassador for the process out to the rest of the stakeholders at that site just as we did in 2014 the community forums i think are uh open uh to ever wants to attend very much like we did in in 2014 uh with those sessions so there isn't uh really a set group where you're asked to participate it's who wants to volunteer their time so i think the district is going to want to you know reach out to folks and that you might be interested in having participate and and getting the word out about these community forums that show as a th i know i think an orange box on the schedule okay now and when you speak of the community forums this is something i just now thought of since we've had the kovid 19 and so many of our meetings have been uh virtual will this be an option maybe on some of these community forums to have it both in person and virtual because i know there are still some people who are hesitant to come out to groups and even though it may be held at the school as a town hall meeting in their multi-purpose room or auditorium there may still be people who would want to come and be involved so my suggestion i would hope we could do both yeah that that's what very much what we're anticipating in the other plans we're working on right now doing the same thing we are seeing some reticence a little bit of people coming to in-person larger group meetings um but on the on the flip side the virtual in in a district um we did a basically a nine elementary school district master plan here just finished recently and usually we'd have 80 people at a town hall we had 250 online so on the flip side we're seeing vastly increased participation on the online side because people are home so we've been very flexible i think to roll with it as we kind of move through the process and see what's the best for the time and and really gauge what kind of reaction we're getting as we invite people to meetings well you get a lot more people but at the same time i know not all of them are going to chime in an opinion but at least they are being informed and we use survey tools like surveymonkey and everything so even when we have 250 people online we're able to solicit input from everybody that's involved in that meeting so we've been really trying to these not make them presentations but make them more interactive and that there's things to do through the meeting where we're really soliciting input very good thank you for the school sites i'd like to make sure that all departments on every school site is involved in this make sure they get a say that the science lab the chemistry is not left out and you know it's designed for a biology and chemistry walks and says that's not what i need uh we don't need any of that you know any surprises when we're all finished with plan as we go down the road i know we're getting into the the design of it but we need to design a future classroom etc but we need to get everybody involved in in what they feel their departments need right mr javar yeah i think the few questions that i had was kind of addressed by trustee piercy and mr o'neill for me i wanted to be a comprehensive process where our community could get involved right i think from the explanation that you're giving i'm very satisfied with the fact that we're not only going to have in person but also virtual and uh giving the ability for parents and community members to actually participate by you know something like surveymonkey allowing them to give their opinion however little it might be my my advocacy is that we obviously get as many people involved in the process as possible which also goes back to what mr o'neill said which is include everybody on the school site uh so that we don't hear back from a department or a entity saying that we didn't get an opportunity or wish we could have said that at a certain point right so i want to make sure that that's very very front and center in our planning process and i know that i don't have to talk about the planning because i think you do a fantastic job the the other part is i think i mentioned it but openly i'll say is that we also need to figure out the give priority to and look at how we can incorporate school city partnerships when it comes to these type of events is that to see if we have an opportunity to leverage funding in terms of wi-fi accessibility for our community so that is something that i would be looking forward to seeing in the process as well as i'm sure that the community will be participating in asking for that as well i want to kind of see how we can get that leverage between city county partnership so that we could benefit our district so we want to keep that in mind when we're moving forward thank you great well a lot has been covered here and i think probably the one of the questions i am asked about frequently is security for our schools what level of security do we have and i noticed that my grandsons were over the other night with one of these things that circle around and what are those things thank you yeah how do we protect ourselves against that type of technology good question yeah big can yeah we'll we'll be looking at safety and security uh definitely is part of the process well i can just tell you they created some damage in their backyard i'm sorry they our grandsons created some damage in our backyard with two drones okay oh did you ask them to pay for it well i mean i'm the there you program so uh so um i i mentioned that there are a lot of people that were involved before in the process but now we're going to also be involving people that are new so i just want to make sure that we have an extensive time for people to absorb the history of everything that we've done to a lot of times you know we we we speak this language and and we assume that everyone understands uh what we're talking about um and so just uh just being bear in mind that there are folks that that will be interested and they have no clue about what measure m you know z or h is so um just kind of be mindful of that i know i know you will um you're always really good about that but just be mindful of those that that we don't want to leave anybody behind we always want everyone to be feel confident enough to to to speak to something if they are fully educated so thank you definitely okay any other questions yeah just mr o'neill on page without my glasses 13.
318 is cute but we should have thousands of people attempting to get into this room and out of the 318 people I only see a couple masks being worn which means we're in a room full of let's go Brandon my message is because our school children have become political pawns show up and vote show up and vote we have witnessed the importance of local and state politics we are we have been ran by the wrong people they will run us into the ground and if Newsom Biden and the Democrats get their way they will turn us into Australia Australia is currently on a full lockdown they're not even allowed to exit their home let's not become Australia China or North Korea I promote freedom and God bless America show up and vote show up in both the right people in let's go Brandon [Applause] Craig Taylor wow everybody was filling out them cards out front so I just filled one out here I am foreign you guys are like shaking up here and now I see why all right so we saw that three hour YouTube deal about the last board meeting atrocious absolutely atrocious I'm gonna share what I got to experience um I believe just before that my daughter honorable student all of our kids are the best in the world right my kid's pretty damn good she'll suck you in the throat and get straight A's and I'm not kidding about the throat so she gets pulled out of class Pat you know about the story honorable student going to the disciplinary office I was an in school and my kid didn't deserve to go to the discipline office she didn't even know that was an office that existed all because she pulled her mask down because her friend couldn't understand her during a project wow I raise my kids not to cry my kid cried when she asked me why the cop that was telling her to put her mask on wasn't wearing a mask inside she should have socked him in the throat you said that that principal was going to apologize to my daughter and he still has not the law enforcement in here you're right we do have a room full of let's go Brandon's this room these are the ones that are going to stop on the side of the road when you're getting your ass kicked at a traffic stop and I and you give me three minutes to calm down and I'll take any one of you law enforcement offers on officers on this stage and we'll see how badass you are now listen that's not a threat when that fine lady okay the first speaker was June was right here and all I wanted him to do is understand her right of freedom of speech by putting those gifted bags up on the stage which are obviously up there wherever that officer is at you didn't care about that okay it's easy to say you don't care you might not have a kid but let me tell you when you say you don't care from a parent our first thought we want to sock you in the throat but it will still stop an hour later and save your life when some scumbag is kicking your ass Bender you have taught me sayings that I use on a weekly basis okay so you just shook your head a Biden comment and a Newsome comment and I'm sorry that you had to go through what you had to go through at the last meeting but I don't think you have the right to tell anybody in here that's like-minded to shut up and Pat my daughter deserves that I'm an apology thank you these are the additional Tisha Morrison [Applause] good evening I've met you all before I've spoken at meetings here and at the San Bernardino County meetings I've held where's Trinity Nelson signs on Bear Valley Road waiting for her to help us out um and I've taken a phone call from her and we had a hours conversation and then the following board meeting I didn't show up I apologize but she lied about me so I want you all to know that what she said at that board meeting about the parent that you called was a lie and I emailed you after and I let you know what the lies were so I asked you for help you promised me a meeting with the California Department of Public Health you waited five weeks ish then you sent me an email and said sorry you can't help that anymore well don't worry I got the meeting I got it from another school somebody else helped me out so I've lost all faith in the people sitting here because you've done diddly squat for us you've done nothing for our children you have not helped us one bit you shake your heads you scowl at us you give us dirty looks and in no way have you done anything to protect our children my calling in life has been to protect children I teach children about God I coach children in softball I coach at the school district I love children and that's what all of you are supposed to be here to do or you chose this job because you love children but you're not protecting them you're willing to poison them you're gonna poison our kids because some idiot decides that everyone needs to have this vaccine so you can make money it's not acceptable so I want to know who's going to stand up and fight for our kids that's my question my statement to you is my children will not be in Apple Valley Unified School District as of January 1st if you enforce this [Applause] Belinda Griffith thank you Melinda Griffith okay um I just want to start off by saying I love working for avosd my husband our two children and I have all have gone to Apple school since kindergarten and we are invested in this community Bender you used to feed my son or not my son I'm sorry my husband because he thought he was too skinny in high school back back in the 2000s I appreciate that I'm speaking today to seek clarification on an issue which is very known um but I've I've been hearing a little bit of different things a lot of people are under the oppression that at the end of the last board meeting you unanimously agreed on receiving 25 million dollars in exchange for compliance to the cdc's guidelines I couldn't find any information on this but I believe it is the Esser funds um which I know are hugely important I think that's how I get paid um but I don't care I'm I'm willing to do whatever for my children at the last board meeting many of you seemed in agreement with the parents who are against imposing a vaccination on the students but what confuses me is why directly after your statements you accepted that money and agreed to follow the guidelines while this resolution seems like a step in the right direction I'm concerned that it's merely for show I feel it would be wise of you to clear up any misunderstandings and that is one thing well I'm going to skip that part um um I respect you guys I'll say that I respect you guys and I don't know if I'm naive but I honestly Trina I feel like you do um any rumors or anything like you do face them head on I don't know if I'm naive I hope not but I've always respected that when I've seen you do that and um I just it feels silly now at this point but I also ask that you would extend this resolution to include your stuff and that you would also add the issue of testing to your resolution because I also will not subject my kids I can see that coming down the pike to third-party testing or extremely inconvenient weekly testing like vaavosd staff is currently being asked to do thank you thank you Dixie Griffith hi my name is Dixie Griffith and I am a 13 year old student at Vanguard I have been there since kindergarten um I have hi my name is Dixie Griffith and I am a 13 year old student at Vanguard I have been there since kindergarten with a bunch of my cousins and friends I love my school it is home to me the MRNA vaccine is experimental I know I am young but I can understand that it is wrong to enforce to force children as young as five years old to get the vaccine I bet Healthcare companies are going to make a lot of money off of my generation from all the side effects and ailments that come from the covid-19 vaccination and that this is so wrong please do not enforce this vaccination on my friends and family at school thank you [Applause] length length grip it Clint [Applause] hello my name is Clint Griffith I like my school but my parents are prepared to pull me out of abusd if it enforces covid-19 vaccination for students I will be very sad to leave my school but even though I am young I understand and agree my aunts and uncles who have children in this school district also agree just with our family alone avusd will lose 10 students we are proud to be a part of the avusd family alone but there is a growing concern about heart problems developing in young men who have gotten the vaccine I will be devastated if one of my friends at school has a bad reaction due to this vaccine please do not put kids health at risk by forcing this vaccine on the students thank you [Music] [Applause] Susan Alice good evening my name is Susan Ellis I'm a wife of a retired Navy sailor and a retired CHP officer I am a mother of three and two are now adults one is what I say under construction he's in 11th grade at AAE next year my grandson will enter kindergarten at AAE as a Navy Wife I learned to watch the world in my country as a chippy wife I learned to watch the state as more and more of our constitutional rights have been violated I learned to watch the county I'm sure all parents here have been watching Florida Texas and Loudoun County in Virginia as I have when I was young a friend taught me something that changed my life she said and well okay so he taught me something that changed my life and in turn it taught me how to look at my world my community my state he told me this do you know how to tell when someone is lying watch to see if their actions match their words if they don't match there is a lie in there somewhere so I watched the media describe Riot says peaceful and January 6th as Insurrection I watched Congress before a photo shoot last month Milling around each other like as a church potluck but put on mass for the photo there's a lie in there somewhere I watched our governor shut down businesses and schools but sent his own kids into in-person private school I watched my friends do their own die jobs and go without getting their nails done but the speaker of the house and our governor had perfectly coiffed hair at every TV appearance there is a lie in there somewhere we are expected to believe that a man who campaigned from his basement beat a man who drew thousands to every rally we are expected to believe that covet is so deadly that hundreds of thousands will die from it yet we find out that some of those numbers included people that died from car accidents and other health issues but happened to test positive for covid then we find out that the hospitals get more covid money for each covid case we're expected to believe that an experimental drug is safe yet teenagers have died after the second dose or developed myocarditis do you see why we the people no longer trust our government we can just we can just go about anywhere in the high desert without a mask we can walk through a restaurant sit down for two hours that makes a perfect strangers all without a mask yet our children can't sit at their own desk for a 50-minute class thank you what we are being told by the media our government and those so-called scientists in the health department does not match what we see in the real world there is a lie in there somewhere when respected and credential doctors like Dr Peter McCullough in Dallas who treat cobit patients say that early treatment should be the priority not vaccines and then those outspoken doctors are stripped of their credentials and loose but positions on medical boards we treat to think that this is political and not about health when those same doctors say giving giving someone a vaccine that is has natural immunity can cause more damage and that Ivermectin and high cholera quinine are effective treatments but the FDA says that the meds are not approved for covid but experimental drug is thank you that's a lie in there somewhere I just have one paragraph Just One [Applause] now we're told that a third of our military Fair faces discharged due to vaccine mandates a third that this doesn't terrify every person in this room that then you're living in a world that does not exist these are men and women that are willing to die for our country our constitution it is little wonder that they're willing to fall on their sword to protect our their own constitutional rights we the people are here to stand for ours more importantly we're here to stand for our kids I leave you with this we know you say you want the best for our kids do you have the courage to tell this Governor we will not comply are you are you willing to fall on your own sword to protect the constitutional rights of our children are you willing to stand with us I sincerely hope you do we the people are watching [Applause] now before we go on I need to remind all of you we have a board policy that was approved before I became a board member that says that all comments must be no no more than three minutes so I am not going to entertain any further in uh inconvenience from anybody in this crowd telling me to take my mic off or to disregard the board policy so our board policy is three minutes and that's the way it's going to be thank you Raquel Raquel vizcarra [Music] is Raquel here Brian okay go ahead okay sorry about that God bless you all thank you [Applause] my name is Raquel vizcarra but avusd has known me as Raquel monteon since 1993.
will allow us to see if there are some things like that that we can say yeah this is a problem in ann arbor or we say it's not a problem in ann arbor maybe it's outlying areas and maybe it's just the state police who knows so any other comments okay um commissioner todoro hargraves is going to give us an update on the complaint review process and if it feels like you've heard updates on the complaint review process before um that would be correct but unfortunately the complaint review process is an ongoing um evolution and um is still evolving in terms of of how that happens so she will update us again and i suspect again next month based on new information today yes we will um it's it's definitely an ongoing process i do want to um give a shout out to our it department or the city's i.t department um they've been meeting with us over the last month and trying to give us us meaning the information managers the proper access to things that we need such as evidence.com and body cam footage and reports and so on um and how we do that in a secure manner and uh what they're also working very closely with um miss jeunesse on is setting up a dashboard um so that as the complaints are filed on our web page ms jeunesse and the five information managers will get a notification that a complaint has been filed and we will immediately be able to start processing that complaint through the the process that we're putting together now the written process and that dashboard um we'll be able to go to for regular updates and tracking um we are also then able to and and that one's ready pretty much almost ready to go for our use then it is also working on taking that dashboard and reconfiguring it um so it'll look the same but you know like officers names will be redacted or witnesses names will be redacted so that it can be put on for public view so that way anybody in the public can click on the dashboard and see that complaint number 65 is under review by the information managers or complaint 72 is pending police review um so that'll be a regular update system the third thing um which will be a part of our web page is as we do our final documents the pdfs of those final documents can be placed on our web page so that anybody can go and see what were our findings for complaint 75 and those um if need be will be redacted um but um as far as officers names will be redacted and and and something i know we've spoken about this before but this comes into importance when we talk about what our final document is going to look like so when a complaint goes in directly to the police department ickpoc is not informed of the complaintant's name that is kept confidential due to victims rights so we never see the complainant's name or contact information or anything like that so when the final document comes we don't necessarily have a complainant to send it to um whereas if the complaint is filed through pickpock i know that you know dr lisa jackson is the complaint and i can send her a letter saying here are our findings so in the case of when we do not have the complainant's name what we are looking at doing is doing basically an internal memorandum so the the information managers assigned to the review of the complaint will do a memorandum to the full commission stating what our findings are and then it'll like i said that document will be made into a pdf and it'll be put onto our webpage now if that complaint for complaint number 20-035 is out there and they know that that was their file their case number or their complaint number they can go on and see what our findings were and decide if they want to contact us or not so that's one of the reasons why we're looking at um looking at being able to put that up there so that the public can see what our findings are for each of the the um complaint reviews and i am excited to say is i think we're we have reviewed all of the 2020 complaints and we are at the point where we're putting together our findings for them now and just to clarify i know we have talked about this before but um there is no point at which the complaint's name even though we know it would be put on the public dashboard unless they have consented to do that so just because we know who they are does not mean that we assume necessarily that they want that information made public we would check with them before doing that and they certainly have the option to have their name redacted as well as well as any other identifying information that might make it obvious who they are um so that people don't worry about retaliation for example so just want to i i know that might have been obvious to everyone but i just wanted to make sure we clarified that um council member room laurie did you have your hand up and put it down or was it up from before i apologize it did i mean these are always good conversations i always have thoughts that come up um will will this dashboard have kind of an archive uh oh yeah information people go back and yeah right now our our complaints on our dashboard that come in directly to ikpak are running complaints so we could go back and see a complaint that came in in 2020 and while it's showing that it's under review by the commission will it be aging so it can give folks like uh real-time information if this has been under review for 64 days or 91 days or it should show the date when something moves so for example the police always have that first and so it may have the date that it goes to police and then you could see oh it's been there for x number of days and then oh the police have finished their review we're beginning ours and you could see the date that happened and then you could say oh eggpot has been looking at this for x days so we should be able to have like a time component in there as well at least very least people should will be able to tell where is it in the process it makes me like because there's an interim step right so so the police look at it and do their investigation then we communicate with the police and so that's a process that happens to happen before we can even start to you know come to any conclusions about what happened and so that's a an interim step even between us sort of um you know coming to any conclusions about it and so we could delineate all those different sort of steps in the process so people know where things are oh questions okay commissioner hoffman i just want to add to what uh commissioner dora was saying is also we started having oh we're going to have uh meetings among the managers prior to meeting with the uh the chief and the deputies and the uh um pss literate so we we we have more of information knowledge about our cases and to speak with some degree of unity and uniformity about our reviews and of the data videos and texts etc so we are taking that as another step to at least familiarize ourselves as managers with our cases just trying to streamline the process a bit is is what that is um so that we can get through more cases a little bit more quickly but part of what slows us down is that the process is continually being revised and revisited and so you would think that we've been in existence for two years and this would be clear but we did not have to reinvent a wheel but rather we had to adopt the many models we had from other cities and other municipalities and other oversight agencies to make it work for ann arbor and that's been quite challenging today we just found out about another piece of information that we will now begin having access to for the first time in 2021 and so um i understand that it can be frustrating to feel as if nothing is moving um but that is not for lack of trying on our part um to be clear there is a lot of energy um spent on trying to make sure that we got all the information that we need to do our job and that is continuing to happen um if there are no other questions comments thoughts we could talk about the one piece of new business we have which is um the epoch retreat report and um uh it participated in a strategic planning retreat with councilmember song and many of you present here where we worked on some of the goals for the upcoming year but also you know goals going forward as well you know sort of some short and long term goals and we wrote a report so um we commissioner carter was was kind enough to take that on and um i think we all added some parts to it and she wrote a draft of the report of the retreat because we did get some inquiries from the public about that about what we did and what we accomplished and so um i do not know if you want me to share my screen of that and if other commissioners want some input on that if you would like me to email it around and then um have you all give comments back and then we can publish that final version we can we do that in a number of ways what is your preference i i know that at least one draft was emailed to everyone with a request for comments and um there were some comments that were given um and and we can do that process again if nobody has any revisions to it we can we can email this last draft around and everybody and if you have nothing to add we can just put it on our website so people can see what we did um i can just briefly summarize um there was brainstorming about how to fulfill the mission that we have um we talked about barriers to doing our work um how we are learning best practices and being trained in this area thinking about future goals more community outreach um increasing the awareness of the commission within the community making sure it is clear what this commission does and what this commission does not do um talking a little tiny bit about the pandemic and the challenges that that's posed um there are certainly some opportunities that have come because of pandemic as well such as our ability now to remotely access information that we would have all had to troop into the the justice center to sort of watch body cam footage all at once look at pieces of paper that we could not copy or have copies of and now we're able to get secure information and all information managers can review body cam footage at 3am if they need to at 2pm if they need to so that is a blessing of the the pandemic but um you know that we kind of talked about what the vision was for this commission so i i i can certainly email it to commissioners and council members and you all can um anybody who was present and you wanted to add to it you can do so and then we can publish this final version on our website if you like okay give us a deadline you need information by when in a week um hold on i have a calendar to my right it looks like i'm looking out from the space but um maybe we could have it back by um november 4th commissioner ahmad did you have a question um do we have to make a motion to agree on the uh the draft or the final version of the summary of our retreat or or because it's just information we can have it over there just i want to make sure um if there is if we have emotion does this mean that it has more of legal standing versus just information i think it is just an informational piece we had some inquiries about what did you guys do in your strategic planning and so commissioner carter was kind enough to kind of write that up just write up an informational report about what happened um and i just want to make sure that it reflects everybody who was there and participated and that people agree on what it is and then um we can share that with the public so i'm not sure we need a motion for that but i mean there there there could be a scenario in which she just wrote it up and it was just put on the website i'm okay with any uh way we present this material all right well i will send it to everyone i was in this last draft to everyone and you all can give comment um by november 4th if you're able and then we can get it up on the website and the last thing we have to talk about um report from committees we haven't had any standing committee meetings with the exception of the group of people who are led by commissioner walton who have been interviewing applicants to our um who wish to join our commission and so um we had um lots of scheduling issues but we have um interviewed um the the first round of people and um we have currently three openings and we have interviewed four people and so when commissioner walton returns we will collectively make a decision about those three individuals whom we'd like to ask our council members to present to the larger city council so we have completed step one the hardest longest part of that process and interviewing everyone um each candidate had some really interesting perspectives and and would bring value to our commission so our we have a good we have good trouble in that we have um to select from three of those four people but that's a good problem to have um and we anticipate that um we'll be able to net make the next step um take the next step in that process in the next week or so so just an update because i know many of you have been wondering about that and so we expect to bring on three new commissioners at once and we've also been working hard at having a formal orientation we are very lucky to have commissioner walton who is an hr expert and she has standardized our interview process um she has um questions have been constructed by everybody we all had a chance to weigh in on questions they were sent to applicants in advance so they could prepare thoughtful responses to them and um and so the dialogue that we had was was we could compare apples to apples and so that was very helpful and then we will standardize the process for asking council to consider our selections but we're looking forward to having some new members and um for them to bring their their expertise to this group council member song so um that won't be in time for next monday's meeting though are you are you aiming for the second meeting in november i think we're going to have to because um we had um for one candidate we had three uh people interviewing that person for two we had all four and then for the third person we only had three so we have to come together and make sure that we're all on the same page about um trying to evaluate which three we'd like to ask you all to put forward um and so we'll do that when commissioner walton returns okay we will do it quickly though like we're prepped and ready to go as soon as that conversation happens we promise because you know we need the help okay great yeah if we if we can put it on the agenda a week before yeah so i will text you guys i will let you guys know as soon as we um get to that step and also when i know when she's coming back i may be able to anticipate when we can do it even before we've done the last step so i may be able to give you guys a heads up even before we have gotten there i wouldn't be able to tell you the names but i would be able to tell you hey by this date we'll know and then you guys can get it on your agenda that would be fantastic because we do would like to be as expeditious as possible um councilmember rumlawi yeah thank you uh and thanks for the committee that's doing the work um has as you know i've been kind of uh knocking on the door asking about that for for quite some time um i assume i shouldn't assume but i i will ask have all these applicants applied uh through the city's uh process and that okay and um are they all residents of ann arbor are they gonna require require a seven vote uh requirement if they're outside of nr they actually may all be residents okay and um now the the the idea and the practice and before was for the council liaisons for this commission and the human rights commission to take a look at the names before proceeding to counsel with them so um as eager as i am to present those in sponsor that list of names i would like the privilege if if i could to to be able to look at those uh perhaps as soon as possible before it gets sent to council you guys can do that as long as you need to we just want to get it in your hands the subset of the four the four council members uh that would be um i think very helpful for us to see ahead of time um i know we want to fill these positions as fast as possible but i do need some time to look right so so we prefer that everyone apply through the city process um we would prefer for all of our processes to be equal it would be helpful if people would go through the city process and answer the questions that were developed by the human rights commission we've tweaked them just a tiny bit to make them current so we're not asking for example what the what you might hope that this co commission would accomplish in its first two years since we are now two years old we're asking about the next two years um just to to make that current um but but we find it useful for people to actually answer those questions and so we would prefer that people not kind of skip that step that they would apply by completing the application online and all of these applicants have done that and so you guys have access to that system you can pull them and then um the questions that we asked were actually iterations of those questions that were on the application and we just um discussed um those things with them so um you all can can look at those applicants and we will give you the three that we'd like to put forward we'll let you know who those are um as soon as we make a decision and we will do that as soon as humanly possible we're trying to be very um as professional about that as possible and we're trying to standardize the process so that it happens the same for everybody else going forward as well and so that we could answer intelligent questions about why we thought one person might be more appropriate than another person although each of the candidates that we interviewed in this round would benefit us and we may be in the lucky position of having a person waiting in the wings um when um you know a person rolls off this commission which would be a luxury but um a happy one to have so um but but we want to make sure that we we follow a standardized process so that everybody has everyone is given the same thoughtful consideration and we have a record of why we made the decisions that we made and so we're going to do that and as soon as we get to that step we will let you guys know and you all can make your deliberations as the four and then you can decide when to take it to the bigger group and certainly you can ask us any questions and we'll be able to answer them um because we all have lots of copious notes and we you know we were really clear about documenting um uh notes for every respondent so that we could also standardize that process so okay so i think um uh commissioner hoffman yeah just before we finish that um also i would like to to inform the rest of the commissioners as well as the uh liaisons about we few of us had finished the three trauma sessions training that we just finished this past thursday on using trauma-informed approach to create culturally inclusive and safe communities um the slides for those sessions would be available for all of us as commissioners and also would be probably available on the website for uh community at large to to look into if this is uh permissible kind of thing in addition we had a wonderful facilitator a professional who took us through this process of training us and thinking about trauma-informed um responses um from policing but also having us examine our own um positions and our own biases um which was um informative and challenging and um but i think a growth opportunity for everyone um and and and was well worth the time spent we did three several sessions several weeks apart we had homework in between everyone who participated worked really really hard um some of the work was intensely personal much of it was challenging but it challenged us to see things from multiple points of view um and and and and so it was a lot of work but it was very very helpful to us and it helped us think about how we need to do our work and take into consideration the community and the officers who are policing in the community so it was it was often tough commissioner carter unmute myself yeah if commissioner often hadn't brought it up i i was going to um because i think it was a really good and i'm not one for touchy-feely kinds of things um so uh but that the whole issue of trauma informed um took on a sort of a different meaning in that everybody involved has some kind of trauma um the community and the police officers and we were challenged to see what personally can we bring um to the processes that we are going through and so i would uh encourage those commissioners who were not able to to uh participate to to go through those materials um because they were it was a very good uh session so three very intense three sessions three two hour or something sessions yeah it was it was a good uh program yeah we had a very experienced facilitator as you can manage uh imagine trying to navigate taking all of us with our different experiences through it um and she managed that well she has done that before she works often with police officers and she that training probably stood her in good stead when she had to work with the group of us and so it was it was very very useful thank you so much commissioner hoffman for bringing that up any other communications any other public comment um denise any callers dr carpiac any parting words thank you for hanging out with us for so long i feel like i have nothing he just like drafted you into this this group it's probably hard enough that you have to work with us on traffic stop data but now you've had to hang out for the whole meeting thank you though we appreciate you um thanks for having me denise no one at public comment okay um is there a motion to adjourn then during our october meeting is there a second yeah all in favor aye aye any opposed all right we are adjourned um so my you
so so you showed and and i know it's early december is always a surprise so it was at about 4 million 3.4 right so so the 700 000 to minus 1.2 does it is that eating part of the 3.4 that is a good question that is the calendar year expected profit loss okay so you would add you know say best case scenario more plus seven hundred thousand add that to this calendar year-end cash balance and that would be our 2022-year end cash balance okay so worst case scenario a loss of 1.1 million would take that off of our current or year expected year-end 21 expenses putting us down somewhere in the neighborhood of you know two point you know in the low twos from two million from uh cash standpoint at the end of 22. okay okay we have lived through year-end in only six digits that's what i had to ask okay all right thank you thank you for that question are there others can i just make a comment being on that health trust sure can i am i allowed to do that right now of course okay um we talked a long time about the health premiums and dental premiums so it's not um you know it was taken under consideration we you know we went back and forth for quite some time and ask questions uh mr grimes especially because i know you yeah ask the questions so it wasn't you know this isn't something taken lightly to you know raise or even premiums um it was um considered carefully and and in order you know we like to have the health trust here in bartholomew consolidated school corporations we have to keep it healthy you know on the one hand and we have to also you know look after our members on the other hand so it was a discussion it was a very in-depth discussion so i just wanted to assure you all of that it's not um it's not pleasant to talk about it in that setting but it we also have to look at the health of bcsc in the health trust too so and then just a reminder to to the board that the health trust is made up of a school board appointment which is docker builds as well as cea representation support staff representation and a school building administrator so try to make sure that all employee groups are represented in that that dialogue because it obviously impacts them with any increase that we that we have here and so well i can add i appreciate what i consider kind of a steady state approach to the coming year versus i have been on the board when we've gone through crate i'm sorry my word crazy ups and downs so i think there's value in doing that and that we don't we still aren't at the level that you suggested that we needed to be comfortable which i heard you to say around 6 million right okay 30 30 of expected annual costs right that is always the scariest one i must say mr stunner probably an easier question but just to clarify i've had some conversations with parents and i wanted to make sure i'm characterizing this correctly my understanding for item l is that we went through a whole process as a community of establishing a three-year contract calendar calendar three-year calendar thank you academic calendar contracts are only allowed to be two years that's correct but a three-year calendar and what we're doing now is just tweaking that or adjusting that to allow for the professional development days we've not gone around parents or done an end run this this is a change that really has come about because the the state approved our request for the professional development days and when we go to to do a three-year planning process i would assume some board in the future goes through that process for 2024 through 27.
so let's jump to policy 9130 public complaints and concerns yes and so this policy goes with our policy 5521 so the information the changes in this policy is just moving the challenges to materials into policy 5521 so there's no changes in this policy other than taking out the lined out information um that's halfway down the policy matters matters regarding challenge educational materials and all of that information goes to 55-21 thank you any questions and last but not least we've got the first reading of bylaw 0167.1 voting yes and so this was this by-law we looked at because we had new legislation that allows individual board members to participate in meetings and also through electronic means and also there are conditions that when they're doing that they can also vote for example right now we've had times where somebody couldn't be at a meeting and they might call in but when they're doing that they're listening into the meeting but they didn't have the opportunity to vote as a board member but the law did change that allows board members to participate if they're not physically present however they do need to be people need to be able to see them and hear them in order to be able to vote on that but there are certain restrictions that you cannot do that through electronic communications like for example if you are adopting a budget like this evening you wouldn't be able to participate electronically and have your vote counted on that area and then you can only participate electronically um so many times and then there you can do two consecutive but then you'd have to have a break before participating again so there are these are all restrictions that are lined out in the indiana code that went into effect and so um looking at that voting part um for our bylaws these are the changes that our attorneys recommended that we make thank you dr dudley are there questions or comments katie um dr dudley i know you're going to look into it the 0.5 on the last paragraph did you find out what that meant yes so the establish or increase a penalty so this all of those um requirements under this last sentence come straight from the statute and so i did talk with our attorneys and we we had questions about the two the establish or increase the penalty and then also establish raise or renew a tax established raise or renew attacks they suggest that we keep it in even though it talks about referendum earlier in the line they said go ahead and keep that one in but if you want to take out the establish or increase a penalty that is not something a school board typically does and they said if that's something you'd want to remove it is in the indiana code but this is an indiana code for all boards public boards okay we could certainly take that out if we would like and that's highlighted in your copy that you see okay thank you i just had a quick question about the codes the date were there amendments to these codes or was there a new code that references the electronic meeting there was a new code or i think it was amendments amendments okay so we don't need we'll double check to make sure but i believe it was amendments to this code are there any other questions i just want to say huge thank you um i having served on the policy committee before i know how challenging it can be to align everybody's schedules and get all the information from our attorneys to be sure that we can bring something to the board so thank you katie my dr dudley i appreciate all you do thank you next on the agenda we have our monthly finance report to that we turn to mr mcmichael thank you we'll start with the as you know we combined our for purposes of this presentation combine the education fund the operating referendum and the and the rainy day fund and so um we're right on track where we would have projected or have projected um you'll see it near the bottom our ending cash balance for september is almost 3.8 million dollars and that is always declines because this revenue is primarily coming from property tax and since we we spend it very regularly [Music] not all of it but part of it comes from property tax and and so which is the referendum and and so we receive that money just twice a year and so every year the balance will go down and then as we collect taxes in in may and november you'll you'll see it come back up again if you compare that to last year did not include the rainy day fund that's that's a newer concept that we that i spoke to earlier uh however there's um there's virtually no balance in the in the rainy day fund at this time so it's pretty pretty close comparison between one year to the next and we're showing more money this year than last year but you'll recall that this year we just settled the contract with our teachers and so you'll see that come down next month partially because of what i just said but also we've now caught the teachers up with retro pay in their and their raise and so both of those will be reflected in next month's statement and and then it'll um it'll tend to be more comparable to the previous year with their operating fund as i've noted before this is um can be misleading as you compare one year to the next because unlike our education fund this fund has a lot of things in it besides salary and so salaries of course are paid every two weeks um but in in the operations fund it has such things as maintenance or contracts construction projects technology purchases and and so forth and so um it doesn't track as evenly as as the other fund but it does have the same factor in terms of the balance going down um over time until we we receive the property tax draw because this fund is as as you can see from the top primarily supported by property tax and other taxes that are local taxes received primarily twice a year and then this is is the 2020 comparison which there's not very much difference at all in this particular year and then the rainy day fund that we took action on recently earlier in the meeting and you'll note here that [Music] the i'm trying to find it now this is reflecting the the payout of the covet stipend that we gave all employees and so you'll see this balance now will go up as we make that transfer from the operations fund and so that's completes my uh report i'd respond to any questions that you might have well i not necessarily have a question but a statement and i would love for you to just touch on this um i think it's worth noting that at the ribbon-cutting ceremony for both clay center and carmel elementary you had mentioned that we were able to build both those schools without raising taxes and they will be paid off in 14 years is that correct that's correct and we're very pleased about that of course for on both both counts one is to be able to have projects of that size and and not have any impact to the tax rate and then on top of that to be able to pay them off really very quickly as compared to most government bonds you know it's a very enviable position to be in and and certainly very beneficial to our community we just approve the transfer of funds to the rainy day fund that is not reflective in this correct no it's not okay okay so when looking at this then for september so next month when we look at it i guess it'll be for october it'll have a jump of 1.5 million yes about okay i'm hesitating a little bit as to the timing of when we do that transfer because what i said in terms of the cash the receipts coming in one of those two funds is going to have a negative balance because until we receive the property taxes in november and december okay thank you are there any other questions thank you mr mcmichael thank you next we have our student data report into that we turn to dr dudley calling you pull across pull rogers across thanks all right so um this evening as i um did a little foreshadowing in our new courses i said we're going to talk about a few of these things and this is a very short report but really talking about some accelerated learning opportunities that our students have that really support that strong academic excellence at carmel high school and so our students do have several different ways to earn some dual credit opportunities and let me just share with you you'll see some pictures in here of our carmel high school students that emily was so kind to share with me some of these pictures are taken prior to the mask mandate i just want to make that very clear that some of these pictures are a couple of years old these students you'll see some pictures with masks but some without but it's prior to the mask mandates i don't want anyone to think we're not using the masks at the high school but as i said there are several opportunities or pathways for our students to earn college credit while they are still attending carmel high school and basically the the college credit what that happens is our students are duly enrolled so they may be enrolled in at carmel high school and then they might they'll be enrolled in a college or a university we have several different universities that i'll talk about that we partner with and this is a really great way for our students to have access to very rigorous college-level courses and then also a it's really very helpful for our families to be able for our students to graduate with those college credits as they move on to that secondary education um and even if they move right into career it also can be very helpful for them to get a boost up in that those career earnings as well because they would have they could have possibility of many many college credits they could have you know some students might graduate with a possibility of 60 college credits based on you know many of our national merit semi-finalists they probably will graduate with that like for example my daughter who was you know she was a above average but not not to the level of national merit honors she graduated with 31 college credits when she left carmel high school um so they do have that opportunity and she was just kind of your average student there so all of our students have those opportunities so as i said there's um four different programs we're i'm going to briefly talk about this evening one is our dual credit courses the other is the advanced college project advanced placement program and then also our international baccalaureate courses and diploma program so the first is that dual credit courses so this is as i said the students are enrolled at both carmel high school as well as a university and they have the opportunity to earn those credits directly with the university or the college and so we have partnerships with butler university indiana university ivy tech community college um university of indianapolis as well as vincennes university they're our students oh it's moving forward yeah it's our solstice glitch okay so anyway our our dual credit course is um as i said we have several universities that we work with and um we have currently this year we have 1503 students that are enrolled in 24 different dual credit courses at carmel high school many of these students are many of them are juniors and seniors but there may be some sophomores in that but typically they're at the junior or senior level when they're participating in the dual credit courses so the next part that i want to talk about is that advanced college project and this is mrs spanenberg asked the question about our new courses that you just approved the to the micro and macro and this is called acp courses and as i said these are courses that are offered directly through indiana university the students get direct credit and it is at a very large reduction in price it's 25 per credit hour so if our students are in um in finite math which is iu's equivalent to math 108 they this parent would pay 75 directly to iu and if we have students that qualify for free and reduced lunch then they have a reduced rate or it's free but that 75 for three college credits is a steep reduction in what you would pay if the student went to iu um and so it is a really a great deal and as i said it's direct um to iu and i um did not save some of the college credits are actually there's no fee to the students at all the ones that we have the dual credit through ivy tech there is no fee for our students that receive iv tech credit for those and those are on a transcript the students have the opportunity to take that to wherever if they go to purdue or ball state or any other university they would have the credits on their ivy tech transcript on their iu transcript as well as their carmel high school transcript but it is those direct so the acp project we have several courses offered in english calculus finite math education our career and technical ed and then also our new ones we just approved for the economics and currently we have 709 students that are enrolled in nine different acp courses next year we'll have the 11 different acp courses when we add the two economics courses okay it's still not wanting to go why it only works with mine no we did that one okay so our ap program our advanced placement program this is one of our larger programs at the high school and this provides the students to take college level courses at the high school this is different than the dual enrollment the students are taking they are advanced courses the um ap they follow the ap curriculum they have to have training through ap this is a program through college board however they're not direct they're not dual enrolled in both carmel high school and a university they are just enrolled in carmel high school however with the qualifying exam score the successful completion of the course in the qualifying exam many students have the opportunity to earn college credit at different universities for example based on your score that you receive on your ap exam you may score for example my daughter when she went to purdue she took ap us history and she received six credits at purdue for her humanities credit for based on her score that she received on that ap exam so it was direct college credit however this one is a little bit different than the acp piece because it is there's um the different universities take the credits differently it just all is based on what the student is studying what the university is looking at and so it's not a direct college credit that the universities are looking at but they're looking at the exam and the students do need to have successful completion on the exam typically that's a score of a three four or five there's five possible points you can get on an ap exam but it does we offer quite a few courses we have 32 different courses ap courses currently and we have students enrolled in those ap courses as i said the dual enrollment typically those are juniors and seniors enrolled in the dual enrollment for ap we do offer an ap course at 9th grade we offer ap world history and then at 10th grade we have several students that participate in ap human geography or ap um oh it's another geography i can't dr b can you think of it there's it's another one that typically 10th grade students participated europe yes thank you um they they might participate in and then we also added the last several years um our program called ap capstone where our students have the opportunity to participate in a research course so in their junior year or possibly their sophomore year they start with the ap seminar where they're really looking at learning how to do research and then they go their next year is the ap research course and then they actually complete a research project that they as their capstone course and our students they actually have um you know a board that looks at their research to make sure that they're using ethical practices for that board just as you if you would go to get your doctorate and you have to present your research project the students have the opportunity to do that and so that's a very real world opportunity to apply those skills for our advanced placement and as i said this is one of our largest programs where we have 2159 students currently in the ap courses and we have about well it's not about we have 53 percent of our seniors last year successfully completed an ap course with an ap exam of a three four or five so in some time in their career at carmel high school 53 percent of last year seniors completed that and that has been consistent throughout the years as we've continued to add more ap courses really encouraging our students to take those very high level classes and then the last program that i wanted to talk about tonight is our international baccalaureate program or our ab ib program and there's we offer several different courses for our ib program ib is um very rigorous it's ap and ib are both very rigorous but there it comes from a different focus when you're looking at the ib program you're really looking um how all of these pieces connect together so we are looking at that transdisciplinary learning so across different disciplines and the six different disciplines is they look at language and literature language acquisition individuals in society sciences mathematics and the arts and the students have the opportunity if they're looking to earn their ib diploma they have the opportunity to take these different courses that are connected together through and they have a theory of knowledge course that they take along with that diploma piece and they have a writing completion project they need to work on for to complete the ib diploma students can also take ib courses and not necessarily go for the ib diploma and we offer quite we offer 35 different ib courses and we have 607 students enrolled in the ib courses and they really have that opportunity to you know critically examine the content reflect on their own learning and develop their that very strong sense of their own identity and look at diverse perspectives so where the ib would be more you're connecting the different content areas together in your learning the ap is you're really focusing in on that very specific subject level they're both very rigorous but they just come from two different points of view and it really depends on the student and how the student really likes to learn we have lots of students that take both ap classes as well as ib classes students do have the opportunity to earn college credit but this is very similar to the ap program where if they would like to be considered for college credit they have to take the ib exam the ib exam is out of a possible seven points and they have to score at least a four or five six or seven on that ib exam and then it's very similar to when you go to the universities you they look at your transcripts they determine how they'll take those credits and what credits they'll offer you to earn the ib diploma that does give students especially students that might be going to private universities many private universities look at that ib department all the universities do but many times students that might be looking at some ivy league or what have you universities they may be looking at that ib diploma one of the downfalls not downfalls but why we don't have more students going after the ib diploma is it you have to take a series of courses and our students want to take they're involved in so many like they might be involved in the highlight or they might be involved in advanced orchestra and some of those singleton courses that only meet at certain times they try to make the schedules work but it's difficult when there's a singleton course and then you're competing so as we continue to grow that program that will be less of an issue for our students where they can look back so these are just some you know four different ways that our students can really make sure that they're taking those rigorous courses and i think for our families that want to you know create that path of learning and determine you know what is the best path because as mrs browning said earlier our students have so many different opportunities and i think it's really making sure that our students are working very closely with their guidance counselors at the high school and the families and creating that pathway and starting early starting in ninth grade to determine where do they want to go and so that they can take advantage of the different opportunities that we have at carmel high school but these are just some of the ways that we have that accelerated learning that really helps us support that rich academic excellence that we have in carmel clay schools so with that any questions yes i've got a couple some of our students are recognized for the ap college board program how do we find that information so we're actually i think at our next meeting um we'll be talking about the students that are recognized for that we'll be highlighting the students there and students are recognized for a variety of different reasons that we're looking at some of our students that might be recognizing we're going to talk about that at our next board meeting okay and second question is if parents want to know more about how they get connected with school counselors in order to look at you know the program their kid is involved in what what do you suggest to call the high school and deter you know ask their student first of all who is your counselor the students should know who their counselor is in case they don't you know call the front office and say hey i want to connect with my student call the counseling office and they'll be able to figure out who the counselor is and connect the parents thank you i i just want to clarify so when we say number of students and enrolled in number of classes for example 607 students in 35 ib classes if a student's taking four ib classes or four ap classes they're counted four times they're in these numbers we have 607 students and yes and correct so if there's you know whatever if there's so if if there were four classes and 200 taking each i mean that's it's not 600 distinct students it's 600 kids enrolled in one of these classes no excuse me i'm sorry i know that 600 distinct students taking the ib classes so these students could be they're only they're counted one they're distinct students taking them so there's more students in the ib classes but these are distinct students taking them yeah mr christian you just can't add them all together so uh because some kids take some out of all the different programs so we don't have like almost 5 000 kids doing all these programs there's a lot of doubles where kids will take an ap class an ib class and maybe in an acp course too correct right i i understand that but so like so we got 2159 students enrolled in 32 ap classes so for example if my son took three classes he would have been counted only one time or three times he's kind of one time in the the 32 different ap classes he's kind of one time but he might be taking ap acp and ib and he's counted once in ib once in ap once in acp so you can't like as dr b said you can't take the 607 and add it to 2139 and add it to the number we had for acp and the dual credit okay because we have students that take many students take one of each or multiple multiples but so do we so then i guess that begs the question so if there's 5 000 kids at carmel high school 2159 of them are at least in a ap class correct okay yes um i just want to comment this is amazing a couple reasons first of all i have an eighth grader so this is like whoa like you know so i'm very excited about all the different options he has because as a high schooler i went to a little high school in missouri and we didn't even have like any of this we have advanced college classes which meant they were harder but you didn't get anything out of them so i love the fact that um these students have the opportunity if they are able to and they want to like you know apply more and do more that they kind of get that you know that benefit also besides just passing that high school class so i think that this is amazing option and kind of back to my original statement um what carmel high school offers so i think that's really cool and and i would like to add too this is not just for our high ability students our advanced students we carmel high school has done an excellent job the last several years of making you know helping students to take those rigorous classes where their interests lie and um really encouraging all students to take rigorous classes so don't think you know if your student is not the um in you know high ability in elementary school that doesn't mean anything when they get to high school it's real it's open enrollment students can take any classes that they have interest in and and we encourage that we want students to take those rigorous classes while they're still in high school that's amazing is that for the ib program as well do you have to be vetted for the ib diploma program for well the ib diploma program you do have to take a series of classes both standard level and higher level courses in your junior and senior year but it's to receive the diploma but you can take ib classes that are full-weighted classes in a variety of different areas they have them in the arts they have them in the world language all of those different areas and you don't have to be in the diploma program to take those courses you don't need to be recommended but you do need to complete the course the series of courses yes i'm assuming that we think that senior schedule is one way that we encourage students to enroll in these type of classes and is it and we use it obviously as a transition to being able to manage your time and recognizing that next year if you go to college you're going to have time to manage and so when you're not in class we don't make you come to school yes we so and what mr kirscher is talking about is we have a senior transition um to college so it's a senior year that students and it's really to encourage students sometimes in the past you have students that they've completed all their requirements many times they complete all their requirements they need by their seventh semester so the first semester of their senior year they have all of the courses they need to graduate with core 40 or core 40 with honors we wanted to make sure that our senior students are still taking very rigorous courses so one thing that the high school looked at several years ago is their senior transition program where students are required if they would like to do the senior transition program they have to take a minimum of four rigorous courses that include that could be i ap courses ib courses any of the dual pro any dual credit courses acp courses they have to be fully weighted courses that the students have to take a minimum of and then as mr kirscher said there there's pieces there we're really helping them to manage their time because when one of the things we found is when our students go off to college um they're they're so used to being structured in high school they have they go to class all day then they have their practices then they go home and they do their homework and their day is very structured and they have um their parents or guardians at home saying okay and this is what you need to make sure you get done this is what you need to make sure you get done then they go off to college and they might be they might have class monday wednesdays and fridays what do they do on tuesdays and thursdays or what they might have class you know in the mornings only and how do they manage their time how do they learn how to take that time and study because you know when they're at the college level they're expected it's not just the time you spend in class but you're also expected to spend at least that much time if not more outside of class studying and helping those students to gain those studying skills so it's a minimum of four students can take up to seven which would be each semester which would be a full caseload and what we find we have many of our students are overachievers they're in the senior transition program and they're taking five or six courses because they want to be they want to continue in highlight or they want to continue um in their advanced orchestra classes so they're taking those classes plus the other four required classes um we have many students that are not taking full advantage of it but that's okay too because we want them to get you know the most of everything when they go to carmel high school but that's an opportunity the minimum is those four classes and then when they're not in class it follows the same schedule but if they go in and they have um block one blue day and then block two on blue day they have no course then they can leave campus or they can go to the media center and study and they can work with a study group or what have you but it's really to help them manage that time i might add there's also some really cool internships going on out there with kids using that schedule to really take advantage of some of the opportunities around central indiana are there other questions at this time well dr dudley thank you very much for bringing all of these options or sharing all of these options that we have with us next on the agenda we have our board members report and the first is our legislative update and i'm actually presenting that and there it is so as many of us know well we'll start with it's our legislative update for october of 2021 and moving forward until the end of the next legislative session at each one of our regular meetings i will have an update to share and what we're going to share today and discuss how do i is it all on there sort of sorry um the our legislators had their special session this summer so after they um they temporarily adjourned to resume a special session and it was for the purpose of redistricting and they did that so this example here this just shows us the congressional district maps and on the right are the new is the new 2021 congressional district maps and looking more closely here we see we are district five our congressional district and so our representative um is victorious barts and there has been some change to the congressional district our district five instead of having part of eight different counties we are five counties so what we have for our five we've got howard tipton hamilton grant madison oh actually it's six in delaware so we went from eight down to six so we have six full counties that are in and we are still considered five and so victoria sparks is still our representative for the u.s house our state level we've had significant changes so our district maps which i'm going to focus in because these are far too busy and too small so as we look at what we tip what we had before for our house of representatives um you'll see 24 and 39 going right across that center we've got clay township and so for clay township we had donna scheible in 24 and jerry torre as our representative for district 39.
second most emotional mr hoffman second by mr angel do you have any questions or comments either for mr reece or uh diane caceres from skillman this evening deanna looks looking at the uh the bids being awarded these are people all people that we've done worked with before is that correct correct now there are some contractors that didn't bid um smaller contractors that the scope may have been a little too large for them maybe from a bonding capacity perspective you have a very good group of contractors representing this project [Music] questions or comments thank you to both of your help and input we know that's not easy especially when you're in 67 bids over so many different types so we appreciate your work and getting that to us so we can keep moving that project bad appreciate the opportunity if i may jump in i want to thank dion he and scott sherry and i went to several of the union halls just to kind of present our project groups as they came up um to put it out there to really in my opinion help recruit people who are interested in bidding companies who are interested in bidding on this project and i think it's evidence when you look at the number of bids that we had as well as coming in a little under especially right now and the inflation we're seeing so dionne thank you and scott for your work in this appreciate it absolutely and unrelated to this project i will mention that the high school project is out to bid right now we had a pre-bid meeting on friday at the high school incredible participation there were probably 40 in attendance we had some other contractors meet us out there today so again great interest in that project it's going to be bidding november 11th so assuming all comes in well the 11th i'll be back here at the november board doing a similar thing for that project we enjoy having you diane i enjoy you know a shameless plug too is the amount of money that we're putting back into our local economy through these projects um is is noted as well for all those who are working with it from those who are supplying the materials as well locally so it's it's it's paying back multiple things not just creating the best environment for our kids but also then turning around and putting money back into the pockets of those who live here within our community and within our region thank you thank you let's wrap this up with a vote all those in favor signify by saying aye all right opposed almost carries 5-0 thank you mr reese and dion mr caceres uh we are finished with the action items we're going to go to information items that we have superintendent discussion groups uh does anybody have anything to report this evening from nothing really new from california and we can move to uh director of secondary education mr g and furman thank you mr president i just have one informational item for the board on november 5th we will return to an in-person chamber town for all our eighth grade students um if you're familiar with that program it's a partnership with the crossroads regional chamber of commerce and they supply all kind of business people public safety workers and community volunteers and our eighth graders then after a series of lessons on work readiness citizenship financial literacy they go through a series of stations manned by all these people that are provided through crossroads chamber of commerce and it's good to have that back in person this year it's significant because as we talked about earlier in the year we have a college and career preparatory class that every eighth grader at taft and wheeler is having the opportunity to complete this first semester and earn a high school credit so this will be a final project that we wove right in there so it's good to see the high school middle school and the community all come together to really benefit our kids so we're glad to see that in person and november 5th colonel wheeler jim if you have time stop by because kids really enjoy it's a lot of fun thanks thank you mr gm fermi and uh director of exceptional education with mrs pasquez good evening so in our journey to educate building leaders and our building staff on what makes special education so special a few weeks ago we were able to spend a few hours after school with all of our building administrators and had a local special education attorney provide some training on discipline and special education law because our students with ieps are afforded some due process rights that can get complicated so that was just a very informative useful session our diagnostic teams are also these first few months of school taking time with each of the school staffs to explain the referral and evaluation process to the school staff so they're clear on what that looks like and who may be appropriate for evaluation thank you ms pascas yeah we reshuffled the lineup this evening mr harvey we have the chief academic officer mr hartman yeah um i wanted to just comment on some of the work that's being done in our mathematics program uh programming throughout the the school district uh this has been an area of focus uh with added focus actually as we brought in the math specialists at elementary and uh secondary levels and we also know that there's an alignment to the new sat that's coming that's going to be administered in march so so we're working towards uh aligning our um uh learning goals as well as the instruction uh as well as the interventions for our students we're looking at some of the programming at the at crown point high school to uh to really enhance the opportunities for our students to be successful in mathematics and be college and career ready as they as they leave crown point uh crown point high school uh so just to to let you know that this has been an area as you've seen some of the the data in the past that we've been focusing on and i do believe that the uh the work of mr gene fermi and mrs ramirez working with our specialists and then also thinking about our exceptional learners area students that need some we need to have accommodations and unique ways of teaching mathematics that's been another area i think that we're growing in and working towards to to really enhance what our math instruction is in student learning in mathematics so work i'm excited as to what what the future holds for mathematics in crown point community school corporation thank you mr charman chief human resources officer mr akiwa thank you mr president just one update sticking to the uh partnering with uh outside organizations that help support the crown point community school corporation uh we recently have uh connected once again uh with the maryville rotary club uh anna granfield is our connection there for the clothing our children fundraiser uh we've really been fortunate to partner with this particular organization over the last uh i think five to ten years um and they provide us with um kohl's clothing vouchers or gift cards to provide to families in need here in the crown points community school corporation so we're very excited to uh have made that connection to begin this effort to make sure that we get these particular vouchers in the hands of our needy families in a crown point community school corporation would just like to thank them for uh for working with us thank you on that note i've participated in that event for for many years but the numbers of dollars that they have raised and the shoes and coats and things that they've provided for children in multiple school corporations is pretty staggering so agreed yeah thanks mr albert thank you mr cuba business department mr reese i'm going to say the good news out of the business department for dr terrell this evening let him share with you the good news that we have thank you thank you director of communications ms allen thank you you might know that we some members of our team meet monthly with first responders from the city of crown point and winfield cedar lake and we talk through crisis scenarios sometimes emergency situations in an effort to form a really good partnership about how we would handle those situations this last month i actually met one on one with adam graper from city of crown point we chatted and collaborated about how we would work together in certain emergency situations to make sure we're informing parents as quickly as we can it's never fast enough when you're a parent i know that but as fast as we can to make sure that parents are our first priority in an emergency along with our staff and just getting the word out there should anything happen it's a lot of behind the scenes work that i quite honestly hope no one ever sees that we don't have to use it but i do think that we are better prepared now than what we would have been a couple months ago thank you miss helen i also want to apologize to mention it briefly last meeting uh but then bring it back to the board's attention that you had an attachment in last month's agenda that i didn't notice pre-meeting i looked at it afterwards it was extensive strategic communication plan not sure if everybody saw it but if you didn't please look back to last month's um meeting notes and uh ms allen prepared it was 11 or 13 pages or something like that an attachment of the corporation's strategic plan for communication and uh um but thank you for setting it up and i hope we could accomplishment everything in there we have superintendent of schools dr terrell so i want to start by thanking mr reese for allowing me to share this information this evening with you last thursday we had a successful bond sale i want to report to you that we were able to sell 247 just a little bit north of that million dollars in bonds that will really allow us to do all the projects that we have brought to you more than expected originally and we appreciate the work of all of our partners in that venture also were we benefited from some really good rates that were out there right now based off of what we're seeing across our country this will allow us to complete all of the projects that we have brought to you and we've discussed with the addition of a couple of additional projects that will meet needs that we have throughout our corporation we'll be able to meet the additional costs associated with supplies and or labor as we go through this project over the next three years and will allow us to still remain below our project our projected payment uh by more than two million dollars so we're really excited about that and that puts us in a really good position to continue to address additional needs as they present themselves throughout the the coming years one of our concerns was that we weren't putting all of our eggs into one basket and then if things happened that we wouldn't be able to deal with those as well so this has really set us up to be in a really good place for that so thank you all for your willingness as we go into this to lead through this with many great projects and and updates that are coming along that same line want to give you a project update as you saw tonight moving forward with the bids for taft which is really exciting and then as dion mentioned the bids are out there now for the high school project and we expect both timothy ball and macarthur to be out on the street in februaryish so we're moving right along with those projects one note the groundbreaking for taft is supposed to be friday with the two to five six inches of rain we've received we're not sure that that's going to be doable without everyone getting stuck and wearing hip waders out there on the site right now so we will let you know we'll probably make a call on that tomorrow afternoon uh wednesday morning at the early at the latest to let you know so you can adjust your plans accordingly as well look forward to a great opportunity out there to really celebrate that with a meaningful ceremony as well so just want to give you a heads up on that and we'll keep you posted as we go forward thank you dr terrell and uh we have other business of the board discussed right so dr terrell just made the comment about hip waders and i happen to catch mr mulaski's eyes back there making he was making a face in the corner not realizing they're looking like directed to the baby that mr kristoff is holding right now i thought that was pretty comical but you're doing look like you're doing a good job of entertaining over there i was waiting to start going doing them [Laughter] do we have any other business on the board to discuss this evening um if nothing right on tibet tom i like to uh um just make quick comment on our high school student bill mccall and bill thank you for coming for comments this evening thank you for the email whatever the outcome of your request may be i think the way you represent yourself as a crown point high school athlete is there's nothing more than that any one of us could ask of a student athlete so appreciate your email appreciate you coming we know we have hurdles that may not be able to be overcome for this event but i will say also as mr kristoff said very well this evening you want to know that what you say here is heard and followed through on however whatever the outcome may be that you know it's acknowledged and some action has taken place or if there isn't an action to let you know why or where it it dies um i think that was very well said earlier and um i want to come back and make comment on on that email you sent us so thank you and best of luck regardless of the outcome and appreciate you coming um any other um business of the board to discuss this evening could always we can always circle back at the end here with the statements appreciation if anybody thinks of something new we jump into the statements appreciation and recognition of mr smith mr mr baby i do have one this evening um i want to recognize actually my surgeon dr anton tompkins is his wife and a friend of hers years ago started a company in maryville called be nutty and their peanut butter specialty items uh and they just glanced here they they've expanded to a 17 000 square foot production facility they're women-owned mbe certified and talking with dr tompkins they started this as a soccer fundraiser and they've expanded and expanded and expanded the point where he informed me that they're they're in 6 000 stores in six different countries all of them all of the profits go for educational purposes they help underwrite acts and sats and things like that for for high school kids and try and provide them counseling to to go on to bigger aspirations than they might otherwise have and he said his wife is working 16 hours a day with no compensation so you've got to reach out and thank people like that who do things for such charitable purposes particularly high informative nurses you're talking education uh i'm in your 20-year school board members you don't have to you don't have to talk preach to the choir so i want to thank them for their their efforts thank you mr hoffman mr angel i don't have anything this evening maybe not for myself i uh dr terry will present me with some information from the crossroads regional chamber of commerce uh they do the uh inspiring educator awards we have some nominees

scooped up by him ben ooze fiendl pumped it to midfield mourinho head balls it to evans evans out wide to brunel brunel will switch fields to pachetto pachetta is just going to rip a steep shot on net and sails it high and right over the fence 17 40 remaining in this first half we got a real one-nothing game and we gotta remember chad that we did get a little bit of rain so the turf is wet the ball is wet it's gonna create some slippery conditions and uh even even shots they're going to skid off the turf so the goalies got to be aware of that it can be a difficult save to make salopa to fortier fortier tries to find salopa weldon blocks that one down fortier cutback move bracelin with it [Music] weldon tries to clear it out wide to bush bushel self pass tries to get around paschetto both 16s are on the ball now and but shettle does a great job of screening the ball and it goes out of bounds and bush is going to get a little extra touch on that one to make geru go go for a quick run and warm up a little bit once again east long meadow players using their body drew goalkick up to midfield evan's looking to receive it's footed down by clee carano sends it to brunel velez on brunell brunel regains possession tries to find evans just goes off his shin a heel ball off of burns and it's going to go out of bounds it'll be welding to take this now we have a sub for east sal meadow that's dante bates coming in and calling evans coming out and now weldon will come to take this throwing well then tries to find sonny mazza valez with a nice defensive play dante bates a soft touch into space for brunel brunell gives it to luke mazza and luke mazza tries to go back door on the outside to brunel but a little too much heat behind that one and it's going to go out of bounds for a goal kick for van usfeen 15 minutes remaining in the first half seats are starting to fill up luke mazzle much as usual though yeah not as much as usual rainy day it's 4 30 game yep happens for corey battling with stevens all goes out of bounds off of mccorry they're all in for jacob pachetto he's out now oh yeah he's over on the sideline so i'm sure who's subbed in from i believe colin evans came back in so oh yeah yeah yep more no sends up the sideline to mazza as a cuts back middle trying to find brunel at the top of the 18 but it's cleared more no now ball ends up on evan's foot heavens and velez and far side battling evans will send it to weldon well then goes to brunel in the middle and cleese taken down jacob paschetto now touch pass to luke mazza giving go back to pashetto to the middle to colin evans and colin evans has two a great play there a give and go between luke mazzle and jacob paschetto buscetto is able to turn the hips and find colin evans in the middle evans once again a nice little touch right over his head two nothing east longmeadow and there will be some words exchanged there between the westfield goaltender and the referee perhaps the western goaltender thought there was an offsides there but he disagrees so now esau meadow leads two nothing with 13 30 remaining first half [Applause] that was a shadow to evans there to repeat these slime metals got a lot of speed and and they certainly use it on their attacks yep they've got i mean colin evans great footwork got a lot of speed mike monroe and they got the mazzas i mean a lot of speed up top and the defense of islam does a good job of overlapping each other and creating some give and go situations which as you see there jacob paschetta being uh right back overlapping and creates a scoring chance and nissan metal is able to cash in throwing for westfield presnel and weldon over there battling with burns it's cleared up by velez to salopa salopa and mazza mazza goes down and salopa but mazza just goes right through salopa and salopa goes down and enzo mazza is exchanging a couple words with the ref no cards so a free kick for westfield for fortier small wall in front of fortier with brunell and monroe fortier we'll go far post and i think burns might have gotten a slight head on it they're gonna say went off out of east long meadow so it's gonna be a corner kick corner kick four i think number 14 shea burns of westfield a fake touch by bush and it comes up to fortier fortier rips one but it's blocked bush with the ball now and fresno and brunel race up la corey's able to take it from brunel and tries to send it up to fortier with stevens is able to clear it boulonn sends it sky high stevens off his shin we've seen a lot of those um little attempts to like get a touch on the ball and it just kind of skids off their shins chad i'm not sure that could be obviously to the wetness of the ball but it's happened a couple of defenders i've seen defenders get beat slide tackle there from valez on presnel and ball comes up to fortier weldon into the middle of the salopa and ben giroux comes up with a huge save [Applause] salopa tried to just chip it up and over giroud and giroud is there to knock it down and gather it in what a save drew there and weldon for getting back on defense he was able to force that pass early enough where weldon was drew was able to make a play on just one guy instead of having to deal with two a prime scoring opportunity for westfield east long metal throwing for dante bates joe president comes out of the game jacob paschetto tries to find colin evans salopa and dante bates salopa comes back to enzo mazza it's blocked by fortier monroe into the middle of the morneau mourinho out wide to mazza mazza ball's deflected and comes back up to bait space is just gonna send it out of bounds and westfield throwing for ethan velez a couple offensive opportunities there westfield was almost uh almost able to get by mazza there for a breakaway but he was able to stop it but you somehow's got to keep their composure here they have a two-nothing lead but i can change within a second two nothing leads are are the hardest lead to hold in any sporting event you get a goal you get the momentum soon you know the other team is putting up two three four and then you're trailing but hopefully isla metal seems to be doing a good job of staying calm and keeping their composure a ball inside mazza just sent that one up to dante bates and van oosten i think the goaltender was kind of deceived because he thought uh completely taken off guard i think he thought it was going to get redirected off a header i i i bates might have gotten a foot on it i'm not sure but i saw i think evans i think dante bates was able to get a foot on it so i think that's his goal oh it was it was enzo mazza excuse me dante bates not going to foot on it so enzo mazzo with a rocket from 40 yards out and gets it passed vanituspine phenosphine didn't even get a finger on it i mean it just took a bounce and skidded right into the net three-nothing east-long metal great shot enzo mazza sends it up to morneau ball goes out of bounds so far east long meadow extending their lead with just over seven minutes remaining in the first half so they're gonna credit the goal there to enzo mazza and dante bates was right there and even if he was not the one who got a touch on it to go in the net he set a nice little screen in front of the goalie and mazz is able to bury it from 40 yards out from one no and van usfeen gets some hands on it that one was kind of curving back in that will be mazza who comes out to take this corner sonny mazza is an opportunity to extend the sleeve even further into the middle patrick stevens is down ball comes up to weldon in salopa dante bates looks like we have brian shields into the game now for east longmeadow salopa a touch up to fortier fortiers going up the right side will cross it in it's deflected by i think that's mazza and it's gonna be a free kick for east longmeadow benjaroo just over five remaining in the first half braceland with it now give it back to bush bush give and go to braceland brunel steals he goes up the right sideline mulan on him a nice touch into the middle of moreno morneau is just going to try and set up dante bates who'll rip a shot just sails over the crossbar nice setup pass there by by uh brunell and moreno and moreno and bates just misses the net and bates and monroe will be coming out subbed in by luke mazza and amman karana and ball comes back to the corey fortier up to feeny goes out of bounds off of east long meadow throwing for velez fortier tries to send it up to salopa stolen by enzo mazza comes back to brunel stolen by edelson and he'll give it to bush and bush'll just send it up salopa tries to get a head ball on that one comes back to bush and luke mazza they're fighting for it in the far side luke mazzle wins that battle cup back move pull back now for mazza he's able to find more no more no another cut move to the outside mourinho splits look horry's legs and a shot on net by mazza and it just goes wide good shot there on the ground there hard from sonny mazza 310 remaining in the first half van usfeen with a goal kick sends up to braceland luke mazza to colin evans and evans just hits the ball a little too hard can't catch up to it it's going to be a goal kick now for van oosten and we've got some very small uh ball retrievers out there tonight tries to chip it up to salopa salopa is going to win that battle over enzo mazza cut to the middle try and get a shot on net and it's broken up by ben weldon great defensive play from him and benjaroo will be taking the goal kick just under two remaining in the first half and salopa will be coming out for westfield and will be replaced by number 15 vasco sardina drew up to morneau mourinho is able to get a slight hitter on it back to luke mazzle chase it and van usfeen whips the ball and it goes in the net and a goal for esau metal puts them up for nothing it's an own goal the westfield player one of the defenseman tried to give a pass back to van usfeen and van usm tried to clear it up and slipped missing the ball and that pass back from the westfield defender was aimed right at the net and it's it's going to roll right in so an own goal for westfield puts east law metal up four nothing with 120 remaining in the first half more now tries to find i believe that is number of jack merrigan in the game now good to see him out there luke mazza races with bush and it's going to go off a bush's foot out of bounds just under a minute remaining brian shields with the throwing more no with the ball at the top of the key he'll take a shot on that's deflected by a westfield player it was out of bounds throw in for i think that is josh riley in the game now as well ball comes to brunel in the middle and kirana take a shot on that out of bounds goal kick for or excuse me it's gonna be a corner kick for ryan moore know and that's gonna do it for the first half and east long meadow is up four nothing so so far chad some takeaways in this first half what have you seen what do you like what do you not like both teams so far free someone i like that uh they're playing aggressive they put four in the net they're uh they've got a lot of chemistry going right now their defense is playing outstanding they've been able to recover on anything that has been somewhat of a breakdown and i mean i've for westfield i've seen shalopa out there he's hustling he's doing pretty good for them but they haven't been able to bury anything yeah it's just he's somewhat dominated absolutely chad islam meadow is keeping the foot on the gas pedal to the metal and westfield's having a tough time creating some offensive chances east law meadow defense like you said chad have been locked down tonight using their bodies you know screening the player off of the ball and making smart heads up plays and they've been able to capitalize tonight the offense on some west field defensive mistakes and that's where we are as of now as as a result is a four four nothing score for east long meadow yeah you saw metal has just been laying the pressure even that fourth goal where the westfield goalie whiffed on the ball mazwell was still putting pressure on him and made him make a mistake and ended up in a goal so you saw meadows just been laying the pressure on and the capitalized absolutely absolutely so we have 8 30 remaining in this half time chad and i will be back to you shortly welcome back to east long meadow high school and we are getting set to kick off the second half east long meadow is four-nothing over the westfield bombers bombers looking to make a big comeback to keep their season going some unfortunate goals happened in the previous first half but and that's allowed east longmeadow to grab this substantial lead he sullivan kicks off moreno finds mazza luke mazza sends it into the middle trying to find brunel brian shields with sardina and a head ball from evans and luke mazza and van oostveen go flying through the air van usfeen's able to grab that ball and barely stay in the box good play there i thought we were going to have a bit of a collision good thing we didn't stevens mazza up to colin evans and we have some uh different players different faces i'm seeing in the game tonight for east long meadow we've got josh riley now number 14 on left back and we have brian shields on right back even merrigan jumped in a little bit earlier yeah jack merrigan was in as well perhaps maybe we'll see aj morgado tonight maybe i don't know get him a couple reps looks like uh islam has a looks like they have an extended roster tonight um seems to be more players dressed than usual maybe a couple of uh jv kids came up and dressed for tonight's game velez sonny mazza giroux is just gonna boot it up with a lot of backspin comes out to karana krana heads it to shields gains control to luke mazza a little too much on it for shields goes out of bounds throwing for bush bush brian shields switches fields over to sonny mazza it's headed down by velez moreno enzo mazza battling with sardina brian shields sends it up to colin evans bulan a touch pass to feeney boulonn to fortier fortier will send it wide to edelson edelson a one-touch pass back to fortier edelson with it now fortier within the middle edelson and fortier playing a little some give and go action there working the ball up but it's stolen it's kicked out of bounds by bulan islam metal throne for brian shields and sardina shields sends it over to stevens stevens up to sonny mazza sonny mazz with a beautiful cut move touch is it lightly up to colin evans evans up to josh riley with an overlapping play from his left back position and it gets touched out of bounds it's gonna be an east-long metal corner kick a nice overlap there from josh riley good heads up play and he'll head back to his defensive position ryan brunell on the corner sends it far post trying to find shields luke mazza now chases it down he's defended by not really i want to say that's samalenko samoylenko i think maybe not i'm wrong cannery excuse me brian shields with the throne more tries to find more no in the middle and there's a whistle on the play east long metal might have been off sides so van usfeen with a free kick from his own inside of his own 18.
