So you can see that increase of 211,000 um in annual budget capacities based on your current ADM, your transportation RCL. Uh this number uh will probably be forever this number. What the state does is they'll uh at one point Idaho was transporting a lot more students. you know, when the when the town's booming, you have the mind going, but they don't hold districts harmless. They'll never bring your transportation level support down. Um, so while you don't need this much money, the the formula continues to generate 118,000 in transportation support. So, >> and that's just that's just awful, right? That's not the >> No, just awful. >> Yeah, it doesn't cover Luca, right? just know >> just yeah just students transported within Ohio >> not the U >> and do those funds carry over year to year or we spend them all or >> yes is it these get included into the total budget and so it's in your total appropriation and how do you want to you know allocate those funds what what are the the larger reconcile differences is from the the budget maps carry forward.
It's the completing a board time use evaluation. >> It's the purple one, right? Good deal. So section one which references why school systems and school boards exist should be repetition of not only what you've done in the workshops but what you continue to discuss. The second part that talks about how effective school boards govern what we say that is a continued conversation about why we have goals and why we have guardrails. The part that I want us to zero in on is the one that says the currency of life. If I may ask a board member to read that section, the currency of life, what we do, who will read that for us? >> When we see what someone spends their currency on, that provides us with insight into what they most value. Ultimately, there is really one currency, time. Money is simply store time.
Um, and Jada has done that not once, but now twice as an All-State athlete. Um, and we are truly blessed to have our um, one of our leaders on our team, not just for her skill set, but her dedication, her character, and like I said, just the leadership that she brings to our program. So, we're very excited to hopefully see her go for a three-peat this year as, you know, another All-State nominee. So, way to go, Jada. We're so proud of you. >> [applause] >> We can also get you her video as well that we had to submit. >> Love to see it. >> Look at all the videos. >> And next, um, we had two of our students win top five in state for FCCLA. So, I'm going to invite Ms. Amanda Forrest to come up and celebrate them. >> Hello, everyone. I am Amanda Forrest, and I am the FCCLA advisor at South, and I have here with me Victor- Victoria Zeibert.
And these numbers are pretty solid projections. The only thing we're not for sure of is that loss of local income tax. Right. Um everything else is pretty much knowing what we are doing uh with raises and health insurance and past trends. So, these are pretty pretty solid uh projections. >> Correct. Um another thing I wanted to point out is on the revenue, all the other miscellaneous revenue, I left the amounts pretty much, you know, the same, kind of kept them with a little bit of an increase um cuz I assumed over the next 5 years we probably would increase the tuition costs for the low-grade preschool. So, I put a little bit of an increase in for that. But, one thing I wanted to note is that the interest rates are falling. You know, so we've made a lot of money on interest on our investments, and they're falling.
Hoover is proud to have on her alumni t-shirt in that picture as well from Ball State. So, and I know several of you are Ball State alumni as well. So, great evening for that. We did a what's happening with Hoover episode posted on Thursday and this feature our spring athletics. You're going to hear more about spring athletics in just a little bit, but it's always great to hear from our student athletes just how much being a part of that team matters to them and so in this episode we were able to represent and hear students talking about each one of our spring sports. And spring sports definitely a special time in the school year when the weather turns nice. So, great way to feature them and again you'll hear more about spring sports in just a bit during the district spotlight. And the good news will continue I'm sure, but for tonight that is it President Duckworth.
We met during some recesses, we met after school, and uh they worked really hard. So, very proud of them. Awesome. And they were also like the best behaved team out there. Like you would watch all kinds >> Every day crawling around and they were always like I'm with them. >> [laughter] >> They were great. Yes, and a big uh shout out to our graphics department who um put together our shirts so quick for our students. So, all that's cool. Everything in house.
So when we identify, so the process of identifying could get a little tricky because sometimes students um were born here in the United States. Um and but they speak another language at home. We that's kind of a filtering system. We need to be able to filter whether that student really is proficient. They might tell you I've spoken English since birth. I really don't need services. But we still need to test them because we need to make sure that we are following the procedures that the state tells us to follow. And so we still will test that student and once we test them and and they goes from levels one all the way to six um it will determine how many minutes. So once a student let's say that they get a two a level two >> um they will uh one is newcomer a student that has just arrived here and then they can place out when they reach a 4.2.
We had also at the third hearing asked that they include a characterization of the site, um and to let us know what contaminants were at the site and where those contaminants were, not just how they were going to handle them once they found it. Uh when we got the soil management plan, we realized that it really wasn't uh uh the substance of that plan wasn't what we had asked for, what we had requested. So, uh we wrote back to the applicants and said uh this is really inadequate, and we really don't have a path forward here unless we have more material to review. They responded by asking for a continuance of 2 weeks to make an attempt to provide us with that information. Uh so that um that's where we are uh this evening. Uh because this was a scheduled hearing, we had to open the hearing.
>> Any any discussion? >> Oh, any discussion? >> All in? >> Nope. All in favor? >> I >> unanimous. I am now looking for a motion to approve the executive session minutes of April 13, 2026. >> So move, Madam Chair, with the stipulation that they be held until the matter for which they were intended is complete. >> Second motion by Mr. Nunes, uh second by Miss Amarall. Um >> what do we say?
The Spartans have had four 8-m leading to four goals. Tagwam can can stop giving up those 8-meter attempts that force Esmail to get a more difficult shot. What do I know? Kylie Marino up on the draw. False start this time on Marino. And Giovanni will come up with it. Giovanni goes through Esmail defenders, kicks it over ball over to Sherer. Sherer throws it over to DiBella. DiBella met by Gianna Byron. Gianna Byron comes up with it. Gianna Byron is off to the races. Byron passes the 40, gets the ball over the restraining line. Byron goes to splits a defenders, takes a shot in front of the net. Oh, almost trickled in after the keeper hit it. No, did go in. Gianna Byron with her second goal of the season. Byron scoring her first goal the other game the other day. Quickly getting her second goal right now.
Yeah. And I'm not saying you're doing that. I In fact, I think you don't do it at all. But I've been on boards that have done others. And and so just just really important that that we all have confidence that what we and and always have for me at least, anything I've wanted on the agenda I've got I've got on the agenda, right? Yeah. Except for the dinners for the school board I had to run by them. >> [laughter] >> Everything else I've got on there. And so but yeah, that would be my only my only caution to all that >> Yeah. Is that that issue? I know. I appreciate that call from you because that's a concern of mine because I also have been on boards where there there was there was a gatekeeper there that who blocked just because they wanted to. I strive not to be that.
Um so we had a few items that exceeded what we anticipated in terms of budget uh last fiscal year. Uh and so we tapped into the the contingency to carry forward a little bit uh to the 22 246,000. Um there were some overtime, there were some onetime costs uh that were expended from last fiscal year that we didn't account for. Uh and that is that we're reconciling that into uh this year's budget. Again, those were kind of onetime expenses. Um we don't anticipate those being ongoing. And talking to Dr. our goal is to bring that carry forward or contingency back up to about 500 550,000 uh for next year. the uh add-ons and adjustments. While I did allude to in the last slide, we did um allocate and we did collect on those one time appropriations. Um auto is still on a fiscal year um uh comp or compliance cap.
You exchanged some of your time and got money in its place. You bought an apple, but really what you were doing was trading a unit of your time stored as money for a unit of someone else's time. The time they spent picking that apple and bringing it to you. Oh, to market. So, if we want to know what people most value, one means of doing so is to track their universal currency, their use of time. This is as true of school boards as it is of people. thoughts, reflections on this section called the currency of life. What we do >> um what's coming up to me is almost like what you it's not what you say you're doing is but what you're actively doing is more your actions. So that kind of bleedins to that is um is where I'm where I'm going and thinking of this.
I almost butchered your last name again. Um, who was not only um, honored with the top five award, she earned a perfect score in her FCCLA competition. So, for fashion construction and all of FCCLA, um, the competitive event categories ranges completely, and students work all year long competing, um, are just working on their competition category. It's an independent, um, competition, so it's everyone against the rubric and they have a chance to improve and change things and Victoria is extremely talented in fashion construction. Judges were amazed by her, um, seamstress work and her quality of everything that she put together. It really is so fun to watch her like bloom in this setting and at state. It was fun to have her there as well, so let's give it up for Victoria. >> [applause] >> Evelyn by and Evelyn Benitez also earned top five and this was her first year competing in the pastry arts decorated cookie competition.
And so, we're projected to get $100,000 less in the education fund this year than we did last year in interests. So, that's something we need to be aware of and keep, you know, an eye on, I guess, because we've made a lot of quite a bit of money on that. Does all of that interest go into the education fund? No, the operations gets a portion of theirs, but we only put 10%. So, we basically do the same percentage as we do the basic grant. You know, we take and put 10% into the operations and the rest goes into education, except for you're required to give um federal grants alike the cafeteria, whatever their balance is, we got to give them that portion of the So, like when it doesn't amount to a whole lot. So, the majority of it goes into the education fund. And is that our choice or is there any Yeah, that's our choice.
Thank you very much. A lot of good things going on at EVSC. Appreciate it. Next we have public comment. Mr. Showers. President Duckworth, we have two speakers tonight, both veterans of public comment and the order in which they were given to me. First up, Lori Young. Good evening President Duckworth, trustees and Dr. Hoover. I'd like to take a moment to share a few updates from the Evansville Teachers Association. First, we did finalize our ETA working calendar for you for next school year. I did provide that for you, so hopefully you'll be able to see a copy of that. And then I also wanted to share with you that ETA intentionally kicked off our teacher appreciation week last Thursday. We celebrated all of our members who are retiring, our members who had 20 years of service, and we had a full house. So, it was wonderful.
Do you guys guys have any questions before I chip in? How was the selection for the out of the kids? So, great question. Um I talked to all the other fourth grade teachers and we try to take, you know, the top ones that really get the in class and are ready to be pushed a little further. Um, you know, a lot of these guys in class, and this is one of the first things we talk about when we um start Math Bowl, is, you know, in your regular setting classroom, you know, how it just kind of clicks and you get it really quick. Well, these questions you're going to get, you're going to know how the other kids in the class feel now having to Oh, I got to take a second and try to think about this. Uh so, we we try to It's a All of us teachers come together and come up with formulas.
Um if they are at a level two that's going to tell us that they need um two periods of services per day. Um, and then depending on the school, um, we will we will have, uh, with the ELLL teacher, with the classroom teacher, um, we will determine how we're going to provide those minutes per day for that student. >> So, they may it might look like we might have them for a long block during the day or sometimes we may be able to provide them services in the morning and then in the afternoon depending on what's going on in the school and the student schedule. >> Do do we provide services in the classrooms? Um, so that would be pushin because there so for people that are not familiar with the language, pushin is when the student is able to access curriculum and they just need a little support, then the ELLL teacher will go into the classroom and provide support.
We will eventually move to continue the hearing for 2 weeks, but uh we haven't had an opportunity as a commission to discuss this uh um back and forth that we that uh for the most part it's been uh Beck Solomon and myself with the applicant. So we thought it would be a good opportunity to bring the rest of the commissioners up to date on where we are.
>> Any discussion? Oh, >> any discussion? >> No. >> All in favor? >> I unanimous. >> We now move to the student representative report. Tonight's representative is 9inth grader Charlotte Alons. Good evening, members of the school committee. My name is Charlotte Alons. Here is the student advisory council update for Dartmouth High School. This week is teacher appreciation week. We would like to thank all of our teachers and staff for their continued support and dedication. The PTO has organized a variety of appreciation events throughout the week to recognize everything they do for our school committee. AP exams are currently underway and we wish all the students the best of luck as they complete their exams over the next two weeks. Our recent production of Mean Girls and Musical was a great success with four performances held April 30th and May 2nd. Congratulations to all the students and staff involved for their hard work and talent.
