Any questions with those? >> I did have one. I believe during the first part we did we currently on here as a non she resigned to make her rule your position. I was just saying >> makes this chart have an error on it. >> It says in right now >> she's a staff. She will she will still be staff member position. We just need to adjust this. >> I understand that Christie. I just >> Okay. >> It needs to be changed to a Y is all I'm saying. >> Yes. >> So, uh we'll make a motion with adjustment to approve the supplemental positions. Say with adjustments >> yeah with adjustment adjustment to presented for the 26 27 school Second discussion. We have no session issues. Great to see those kids. It's great to see our kids doing well and Well, as well >> and again I just wanted >> we got 12 projects completed out there.
But it is not very much time to have that happen. So, if we could I I might want to propose a a provisional or temporary transfer of those materials to accommodate that time frame subject to final approval down the road. That makes that a little more palable. that it would be it it's it's very important for the families of those people that have memorials and and things in the school to make sure that those are uh passed forward and we don't want to lose track of that and the alumni associate is a natural >> if I have able to do that >> if I have consensus of the board for the week after the school gets out to be able to work with Wilson alumni association I don't mind doing it that week to try to get them some of the items. Um, it's just I'm not going to be able to provide you guys a list with those items until then.
If you have expenses of 130 and revenues of 150, now you've got another situation. You don't really know how that's going to work out until a few years go by. So, three years have gone by and we rewrote all those financial reports. We're going to see that in in a minute, but that's the effect it had on cash.
>> Motion to approve appointment of Kevin Kaschke as director of athletics. >> Second. >> Motion carries. Congratulations. >> [applause] >> I think there's a game tonight. He's got to go. See you. >> [laughter] >> Next item, recommendation to approve an appointment of elementary assistant principal for the 2025-2027 or 2026-2027 school year. >> Thank you, Mr. President. Mr. Mangold will also take this one. >> Thank you, Dr. Proto. Mr. President, governing board members, it's my pleasure to bring a recommendation for an assistant principal to Sonoran Heights Middle School. That is Ms. Adrienne Perry. She comes highly recommended from the Peoria Unified School District. We're really excited. I'll just briefly, if I can just get off my notes here a little bit. It is very rare to find a quality administrator at this time outside of our district. And so, we're excited to bring this recommendation to you.
And that happens almost immediately. The rest of it comes from huge energy savings opportunities, um which again, over the life of the panels, which are going to continue to produce. The first panels that were ever made 60, 70 years ago are still producing. They don't produce at the same level. They're not even close to the same size as what we would be putting in here, but they do still work. The technology hasn't really changed. Um so, you're just looking at an infinite opportunity to offset a huge fixed cost in your utility bills. And that's why a lot of districts in the area, a lot of businesses are doing uh solar. Solar was great before the tax credit. Solar will still work after the tax credit. You have an opportunity, if you so so choose, to take advantage of a huge tax credit that is potentially going to go away or change and may never be as lucrative as it is now.
And I think if we can take care of these this year, then we won't have to spend any money on buses next year. >> Board members, I'll entertain a motion. I move the board of school trustees approve the amended 2026 bus replacement plan as presented. >> Second >> motion by Josh, seconded by Mike.
And I'm talking about for anything. Any inappropriate, illegal, immoral action. That I know that each one of you, meaning I'm I'm I'm putting myself in the voice of the administrator here, each one of you would want me to keep that information confidential while it was being investigated. As a matter of fact, there's certainly liability, I would assume, I'm looking at the attorneys, that could result if we were to share allegations publicly that have not yet been either in fully investigated, um and certainly not without some, you know, conclusion coming to that investigation prior to us sharing either with internal staff members or it's certainly at a public board meeting. And so that's the it's the dilemma you mentioned, Dale, that it's tough place where people, of course, crave transparency. Why wouldn't they want to know what's happening? But it's our responsibility as an organization to protect individuals who are accused, whether it's theft or or some other action, um while the investigation takes place.
Um estimated total interest cost at the full 6% is 8,503950. The maximum annual payment 3,650. Maximum tax rate impact 4641 but the net overall increase to the tax levy is net zero. Um the school corporation's max annual payments as a percentage of NAV is 51%. Direct and overlapping debt as a percentage of NAV is 4.65%. 65. >> Thank you, Chad. >> Okay. Uh with that, we will now open up the public hearing um for public comment. Remember, if you would like to speak, uh please make sure that you have signed in on the signin sheet. I have the signin sheet here. Um if you haven't signed in and you still would like to, you're welcome to. U I do have one um person in attendance, Gail Connor. Connor, are you still interested in speaking tonight? >> Not at this time. I'm so shocked to be honest.
But we did a 90s theme. It was very fun. We pulled out the old 90s pictures. So, if you want to see any of the glamour shots, they were amazing. So, but I just really appreciate our teachers. You know, May May is we're tired. We're you know, as tired as the kids are and I mean our adults are tired too. But I appreciate the little bit that we were able to do for them last week to show them how much we appreciate what they put into our students. Uh I want to say thanks for prom. It was nice. The food was great. Kids acted great. Good time. Yeah. Ashley Heneghan and Devin Slusher Devin Slusher are prom sponsors. So, thank you to both of them. It was a busy spring for Devin. So, Yeah. Yeah, it was it was very nice event once again and I was I was amazed at how many of our students were there.
Do some this is what it was and this is what it shall be. So, Cindy, if you'll hit that one more time because we have coolness there. Yeah. Thank you. So, um one of the big changes in the new accountability law versus the old accountability law is now we not only look at academic progress, we also are looking at skill development. and we'll give you some more information about that as we move along. Cindy, would you hit the button one more time for me, please? Thank you. So, while we were told that um the new law would take place on December 31st, 2025, retroactive to the beginning of this school year. So, think on that for just a minute. We're being held accountable for a law that passed um in 2025 for this year. But, we have some new and exciting news. They actually passed the final draft in March of this year.
SM." >> The door is opening on time for graduation this year. >> In the afternoon, >> they're rehearsing. >> Mandatory rehearsal. I read that >> mandatory and it's at 7:00. So hopefully you guys won't be I think there was a line down by the career center. I actually was. >> I was in that line. >> Very sorry, sir. We'll get you in and get you set down. Thank you. Thank you very much. >> All right. Next up are >> nine action items. Okay. First one up before is changes or updates to the policy 6152 student fees and ch charges. It's our second reading. Is there a motion to approve? >> I'll make a motion. Think he has a motion. Is there a second? >> Second by Mike. >> Any further discussion? Again, it's second reading. >> All those in favor? >> I.
Second and third, we've got runners on second and third situation again. A nice piece of hitting by Zadian who waits on the changeup. A really nice piece of hitting by Ruby there and then heads-up base running by Ruby who takes second base after the RBI single uh to left field. Really love the way she she waited on that, took it to left field. A really nice piece of hitting by number 16. That was great hitting. Butera man, like you know, overran third base a little bit so they threw the ball over trying to get her. And you know, great heads-up play there. Uh you know, first base coach as well who's over there um you know, yelling out instructions to get her over to second base. And again, runners on second and third with no outs. I feel like I feel like we keep saying that this inning.
So, you need to by consensus give me the authority to be able to >> Well, I think like we know right now, we know the senior panels and we know like any memorial items like, you know, like the one to grace and things like that. >> I mean, if we could just limit it to those things right now and then a full list to be, you know, approved later. Yeah. >> I mean, I would be perfectly fine with that. >> And I agree. I think there's there has to be a list. I mean, we're not just throwing the doors open and say go grab stuff. I mean, we got to we got to keep track of what's taken, but we also need to do it quickly. It would make a big difference to the families. If we could do that, >> if we have consensus of the board for me to be able to work with them that week to get them items they need and then a list, present them a list at the next board meeting.
the 570 went up 540,000 the 510 cash that home and that's we can we can explain it when we get to that item but I just wanted to show you any questions on the the month end report for April 30th >> no that's it >> nope thank you >> thank you I think you're next so just make sure >> all right our uh student funds student activity funds >> student activity funds I have some So, good news. I I I think it's really good news. Um, I worked with this person for a couple years. She used to be the high school student council liaison. What was Miss D'Angelo's title? Lea advisor. >> I looked at her start date. She started July of 2011 and I think was here 13 years to 23. So, I could start this item by giving some kudos to the high school, the new student council adviser and the new principal that really got some stuff done.
As she comes highly recommended. Currently, she has 5 years of a successful assistant principal at the high school level. And so, in addition to that, she has some instructional coach background, 3 years of that quality instructional experience. So, we're excited to bring that to the governing board for your consideration tonight. And she is here and I said she has to give a speech unless you don't want her to, Mr. President. >> [laughter] >> Motion to approve the appointment of Adrienne Perry as the elementary assistant principal for 2026-2027 school year. >> Second. >> Motion carries. Congratulations. >> [applause] >> Next item is recommendation to approve the memorandum of understanding with the Dysart Education Association for the 2026-2027 school year. >> Thank you, Mr. President. This is a yearly item. Um and Mr. Manley will take this item. >> Thank you, Dr. Croto. Mr. President, governing board members, I'd like to first recognize Ms.
Second page again is is really what it talks about the actual financial piece. So, I mentioned a payback is uh is roughly just under 7 years, which would include um potential finance costs, anything that would go into it. Again, this is still based on a budget, but those numbers typically would even come down and get a little better once the project was fully bid. We use uh a solar degrade degradation, which is about a half percent. That means the solar is not going to produce as much year 2, 10, 15, or 20 as it does uh the first day as those panels continue to uh to be weathered. It's probably more like a 0.25, but I always describe uh Farm Services as a conservative engineering company, and so we'd rather we'd rather under promise than over promise, so. Your consumption rate is right now 6.9 cents.
Is there any discussion? All those in favor? That motion carries 50. Next up, Mrs. Glass and Mrs. Ald to discuss the 2026 27 student fees. As the board recalls, beginning July 1st, 2023, legislation was passed that eliminated textbook and curriculum costs for our parents. While that is beneficial for our parents, that is an unfunded mandate for Avon schools that impacts us over $300,000 annually. Also starting in July 1st, 2025, our state curricular support from the state actually was rolled into our overall state tuition, which also created more complication to our state funding. We also received uh recent updates about what we cannot charge families for curricular materials as defined by do IDE that includes books, hardware, computer software and digital content that is adopted by the board as curricular materials. In light of this new guidance or this updated guidance, we are proposing to charge student fees for the 2627 school year, we also consulted with our legal um council to ensure that we are in compliance with student fees.
So, is that something, [clears throat] and I'm going to look at our two lawyers when I ask this question, um is that something while those investigations are going on that we could um discuss in an executive session? Or does that not fall under that? Not to put you on the spot, but In in order for the board to hold an executive session, uh that meeting has to fit one of the roughly 15 to 20 reasons that are listed out in statute. Um there is one that is in that list that has been there for a long time, which is something along the lines of receiving information about a person that that the corporation has oversight of. And so that in some situations may be appropriate. There is a newer reason that got added last summer, which is along the lines of um just to receive advice that may be privileged from an attorney.
>> Okay. >> Wow. >> Um so, uh is there anyone else here that would like to speak? This is a public hearing. Um this is the time for public comments. Okay.
