You can't recoup it in the ops, but you can recoup it in debt service." And so, he was going to do some projections. Again, you're getting at a doctor of PhD level of property tax analysis. Um, but he was going to do some stuff today actually for me. um and kind of run some different scenarios um what that might look like. Um take our debt service payments. Um obviously we got to take what our expected levy is from the county which that's I guess the the part you never know is is everybody going to pay their property taxes. >> Um and so but we can go back and say okay in a fiveyear fiveyear trend are we at a 80% 90% 100% you know as far as collection rate um on property taxes. So, um, so anyway, so that we're still looking at that. We do have to notify the DLGF, the Department of Local Government Finance by May 15th if we want to protect the debt service.
She said her goal in book club is to get students thinking about books in a space where they get to lead the discussion. The students have absolutely nailed that goal this year and she's incredibly proud of them. Maribel Flores DJ Destiny Luna Sandoval Here. Milo Hagel No, thank you. Radhika Shively Andre Sanaya Noah Hoy >> Owen Kubiak Julian Romero Sophia De Jesus Chris Foster Kegan Carryon Jesus Ruiz Isabelle Garber Isaac Jackson Madeleine Gilmer Giovanni Mendoza and James Ard.

Um, however, she said she's a proud of her amazing hardworking students for their effort in the 2025 Indiana Academic Spell Bowl that took place on November 17th. After weeks of dedicated practice, they gave it their all and showed perseverance even with the small team. They truly finished strong, and she couldn't be more proud of everything they accomplished.

I know. >> Yeah. >> Thank you. >> Any other questions on this issue? And I have one more point I'd like to share with you. >> Okay. Um I had written actually asking for this to be on the consent agenda. Uh Claudia and I spoke and she said, "All you really need is an opinion unless people object." So, um, as part of the storm water function, we stencil storm drains throughout the town. We had, excuse me, uh, 13 people from Western Poly Tech come on Saturday. We were able to censor 40 different storm drains. These were all engineering students, members of Engineers Without Borders student chapter. It was a it was a fun day and we got a lot of work done.
So, Tristan Snyder has stolen a base. Another runner into scoring position for Hollister here. Jared might be get three straight outs. Now with that runner on second. Snyder has that look like he wants to steal third as well. Another foul ball by Ben O'Brien. Count is one and two. 26th pitch of the afternoon for Grumbaugh. And he will fake throw back to second. Keeping an eye on Snyder. It's a chilly afternoon. Weather was showing 80, but the clouds have taken over. One ball, two strikes. And a swing and a miss. Beautiful fastball from Grumbaugh. And he's got his first strikeout. And he's one away. It's a big out there. So with one down, Chris Baker, second baseman, a freshman, has not batted yet this season. Snyder dancing off second. First pitch is a swing and a miss. Snyder continues to dance off second. Nothing in one.
Monday, May 11th at 2 p.m. we'll have our Anderson New Tech Leadership Advisory Board meeting. Monday, May 11th at 4 p.m., college and career signing day at Sequoia Middle School will take place. and Saturday, May 16th, um will happen. Prom will take place at the Anderson Teen Center.

Um as well as this year um security. They kind of did that hand in hand. Um and then they'll start continuing down the line with the remaining um security replacements. Um also the Northwood fire alarm is in progress. projects completed. The landscape rehab at Somerdale, I think that was it was done for the 50th anniversary and it came out really great. I have some pretty awesome pictures um to show the board. Um the TK fencing at Somerdale came out really really nice. And then the exterior painting at um of portables at three schools.
She works so seamlessly that you might not even realize the level of impact that she is having. Lindsey, [snorts] you are like an instructional air traffic controller, calmly guiding things behind the scenes so everything runs safely and smoothly without anyone even ever noticing. And I was going to bring the air traffic controller things, but I didn't know where to find those. Uh, and when she's not working directly with students, Lindsey sometimes finds the time or somehow finds the time and always finds the time to [snorts] take care of the rest of us, too. She can be found tidying and decorating in the staff lounge to bring a little holiday cheer or tackling the never-ending collection of abandoned sweatshirts in the lost and found giving them a second life on hangers. >> [snorts] >> Lindsey is not just a support for our students, she is a support for our entire staff.
Tickets are $10 and we invite everyone to come out and support and acknowledge the hard work and dedication the students have given. Next, the CHS talent show will also be on May 1st in the CHS auditorium, and we invite everyone to come see the wonderful performances. We have a very full schedule as the school year starts coming to an end, and we hope that everyone will come out to support and celebrate the end of the school year. Next, I'm happy to say that the student parking lot has been some has seen some improvement with the security guards staying outside longer before home room, ensuring students who aren't supposed to be there don't enter. We hope more students in the future will will have access to parking and we appreciate the efforts that have been made so far. Finally, as the third marking period comes to an end, I am happy to report that students feel their teachers are continuing to support students outside the class and after school as support and tutoring are still being offered by many teachers.

While I get to choose the super 10 student, your classmate Mateo wanted to make sure their voices were also be heard. I have here a scroll of kindness. It's just a handful of collection of all heartfelt messages written not by me, but some of your classmates and friends who sit next to you every day. Each note reflects the appreciation and respect your peers have for you and the positive impact your kindness had made on this classroom. So, this is from one of his best friend. And from Boris Alvarez, Mateo, can you come forward? I need your participation this time. This is This is This is, you know what? So, it's Uh this is his personal. So, I want I want him to read what is being you know, what is being What is the messages that they given to him some of his friends.
Yeah. So, we pulled all that out and somebody come and help me. We pulled all that out from the other side when we got rid of the That one side. Yeah, that play apparatus and put that new in and I had It's just I mean it's been demolished in here for a long time. It's just organic and I tried to pull it last week. I can't get in the mulch. Black barriers surrounded by the bobcat. Yes. Yes, yes. It's tight space and I'm going to get a bobcat or something in there. Yeah, that's what Wes Keiser did that first last time. He brought his the bobcat in. Back to this old wagon. Do you think I don't think we might not need to add any if you get that tilled up and and leveled if you're going to put a barrier down and then mulch you don't want it up level so it don't don't let it take you don't want that mulch coming out on the mulch.
Um, if if we don't notify them, don't say anything, they just let it hit. Um, both um and so um so anyway, so that's that's something we're still kind of looking at. So >> So this one here, Levi, I think um stupid question. This is year after year the differences. So >> differences in net assessed value. Yeah. So like last year we went in 25 the net assessed value was like 529ish million. This year it was 540ish million. So that was that 2.1% increase. >> So each year it's another percentage down. So if 2026 was your baseline and you look at 2031, right, >> you're talking 25% loss. >> Yeah. Yep. Yep. Yep. So you're you're you're really saying to get back And it and obviously you're there's a lot of like anytime they put these scenarios up that make a whole lot of assumptions, right?
James Ard Braden Hall Caden Smelcer Julian Romero Veronica Shively All right, next up is Science Bowl. Mrs. Quick is our Science Bowl sponsor or coach every year. She does an amazing job. She said Science Bowl had a very small window in the school calendar. It's scheduled between November and January. Uh students have good behavior and grades four and five get to participate um and her goal is to foster the love of science. Uh she said while we would truly love to be in the top 10 of the state, her goal is to have students learn to love and appreciate science. The greatest joy is to hear parents say, "My child loved learning science." Uh this year's competition was on Earth Science with an emphasis on the water cycle. We were less than 10 points from placing in the top 10 this year in the red division.
Um, we have over 2400 star brains. It's going to take a long time doing 40 some drains on a on a money. We are looking into that. Why do we do this? We do this to create public awareness to educate the public that if you put things down in the storm drain, you're creating a problem. You're creating pollution and in some cases like what happened in NATIC, people putting doggy poop bags down there. The pipe clogged up. They couldn't eliminate it with the vac. They had to replace a length of pipe at the cost of a couple million bucks. So this can be this can be serious. So we try to do as much education as we can. Um we'd like to go a little step further. I say we the storm water committee would like to go a step further and we would like to do some artistic painting.
And Jared will step off again. Snyder continues to get in Grumbaugh's head. Two balls and one strike to Chris Baker. Snyder is dancing. And Grumbaugh delivers. And that is a strike. A little bit of a half swing. Baker unsure of that one. Now it's nothing and two. A big help would be if he can strike out back-to-back guys after a lead-off error and stolen base. He's got Baker in the hole nothing and two. Grumbaugh looks over at second. Fires a nothing and two. And a swing and a miss. Just pumped the fastball right by him. And that is out number two. Back-to-back Ks after the lead-off error and stolen base. Snyder will remain at second. Tommy Quinn, the third baseman, will bat. Batting 267, four for his first 15. Couple RBI. And Snyder's going. And the throw to third, he is out. Snyder picked off.
Do you guys have any questions? >> Thank you guys for your time. >> Thank you. [applause] >> [clears throat] >> Hello, my name is Lily Gino Riley and I'm the ASC president at Anderson High School.
So I put this on there. We were supposed to get it all completed. We got two sites done. Majestic Way and Northwood. Um I'm excuse me. We got Ruskin and Northwood completed. Majestic Way. We could not because of the rain that we got over the last weekend, but it will be finishing up I think this weekend. And now on to the project uh program schedule key. Um so this is our wonderful color code key. And then the next three slides are basically what we talked about in a construction view. Um, and onto the pictures. So, here's the warehouse. When they started with the grading, they they removed a a lot of dirt um and um had it trucked out. There was about 10 trucks at a time, I think, picking up dirt um to get down to the the right elevation. So, those are the top two pictures.
She brings a can-do attitude to everything that she does and I can always count on her quick wit to make me smile, especially on the days when I might need it the most. Lindsey, I am honored to stand here tonight and give you the recognition you so deeply deserve. Thank you for everything that you do. You make the hard days easier and the good days even better for all of us. Thank you. >> [laughter] >> Okay. Next up, I'm going to ask Kelly Skala to come to the stage. >> [applause] >> So, the Superintendent's Award is one of the highest honors that we can give and tonight I am honored to present it to Kelly Skala. When I think about Kelly, what stands out most isn't just what she does, it's who she is. But that being said, Kelly really does a lot. She has been a dedicated fourth grade teacher at Parkview for over 14 years and in more recent years has stepped into, you ready for them?
Thank you. >> Thank you so much to our student representative and congratulations once again. Your father must be very happy but more so relieved. The cost of education is unbelievable. So we're going to go to our committee reports and thank you for reminding me. Commissioner Ciano, I would like to start with finance.
