What can we learn from this? I wish we could go back to the era when we were all in school and we just had uh drills for fire alarms and tornado drills and that was it. But this is the world that we live in. Um and it was traumatic depending on who the student is and who the teacher was, different levels of that. I I really appreciate that we had a plan in place. Um that our student resource officers and the town police sprung to action. I know there's some further investigation going. I'm glad that the f the first real moment we've had like that, it was a learning experience. Um that that nothing came to its inevitable and terrible fruition. So um I guess in short, what I'm saying is um I hope that's the last time we ever go through it, but we have to prepare like it's not.
They don't use the touch. Um, so they were they were on board with the plan, too. And when I showed them the fancy clicker that they'll get that puts them uh move things on the screen from across the room, they were excited about it.
And so I hear this and I see this trending and I see some of this stuff, but some of this stuff is stuff that we can see on a quarterly basis, all that stuff. Now, how are we as a board, how are you guys as an admin team, how is everybody going to be able to see this and watch this? because we should be able to start seeing those trends sooner rather than later and be able to know what our score is, save the minor adjustments on those trend lines. So, how how are we going to do that? And then how are we going to see that? And how can we monitor that? And I know you're all looking at Mr. Brimberry. I'm not looking at him right now because I know exactly what you should be doing. But I I'm I'm curious because to me, when I hear you talk about this and I hear the data, we should know we shouldn't be surprised after we've done this for a year or two.
Uh questions I knew you would have any questions that area. >> All right. Curriculum report. >> Did you read the handbook? >> Then what page does it start on? >> Cuz I know All right, Mrs. Ros. >> Um, I'm speaking on behalf of Dr. Dale myself because I think she feels like she's said enough this evening. So, Dr. Dale, I did not say that. >> But, no, I didn't say I think I said I think that you feel that you said enough. We have shared goals. >> We do. We We do have shared goals. Um, part of Mrs. Starky's goals, too. So, we are actually we've been working on setting um meetings for the summer to meet with curriculum teams um to update curriculum maps, assessments, and that sort of thing so that we're ready for next school year. Um so, that's a process. Um we've also been working with a group to plan the professional development days for next year.
And I'm sure she's worked on that cuz it's it's very hard to throw two completely different pitches like that. Um but the batter doesn't has no idea that a changeup's coming and she you know she does a great job in there fooling the batter with those. Yeah, Bella has been pitching at a high level for several years. She's a kid who has dedicated herself to the craft ever since she was a young kid. Uh she does play high-level club softball. She's playing at the U18 level as a freshman. Uh she saw time at the U18 level as an eighth-grader over the summer. She's a kid who loves the game, knows the game. And um I think the future is really bright for Bella. I mean she is only a freshman and she is carrying the load uh for this team in the circle and again she's she's the number two hitter on this team.
Will there be any extenduating circumstances, emergencies, like an emergency or something like that? >> People are expected to come back to work with the emergencies over. >> That's true. >> They still have a work agreement. >> And if they are unable to come, I mean, they're in a catastrophic car accident. >> They'll have to resign and still repay the insurance. Well, one, I think it's sad that we even have to do this, but it just seems to be the way that works. >> Okay. And the reason is we can't gift public funds. So, if someone was out of leave, >> they have no leave. We're keeping we're holding their job for them as if they had FMLA. >> Yeah. they're not receiving pay from us, but if they don't return to work, then technically they really weren't working for us during that period and we can't gift them insurance.
If not, we need to continue to engage and continue process. So there's no no feeling of like you have to be forced to make any kind of decision. This is really >> Yeah, I hope I didn't I hope I didn't make that >> No, no, no. I just want to name that public hearing. >> doctor. Yeah, I I absolutely this is not a pressure. This was rational. >> I'm hoping mine are relatively quick because I got some of my answers already. Um So, you basically you lay out 30-year kind of cash flow here at year 31 and beyond we're going to be cuz these are not a lease. We're going to be keeping these and they would continue to offer savings. The other part that I wanted to kind of understand is so it's a 7 and 1/2 million dollar project. Is that you know, if we just were to do the high schools?
So I'm glad that we made it through that and uh forward we go. Thank you. >> Thank you. I just want to thank everyone for sticking with us through the meeting tonight and turn it over to Dr. Windom. >> Thank you for a great meeting. I don't have anything else. We'll go ahead
So, any questions for Joe? Okay. All in favor of HC, which is the Toshiba 4525 HC printer for the for Camden as well as 8D, the Pioneer Roku TV acquisition and equipment reallocation as presented. Say I >> I opposed. >> All right, motion carries. Okay. Uh 8E. I'd like to get a motion to discuss really the uh character education >> Dr. So our each building uses character education programs and currently they're using character strong through their recommendation and Mrs. Gainner's recommendation with Mrs. Kirkwood. this is the program that they would they feel strongly about. Um and so this is their recommendation to purchase this curriculum. >> This is for the middle school grades 6 through 8 as well. >> That is correct. >> Any uh questions or comments on that? >> What was the cost of that? I can't get that to open. >> It is I believe it's 700.
We should not be surprised at what our scores are because we should already know that. We should already be correcting stuff to fix this so we can all be in that A category or be on that pathway to A because we should know about that and be able to make those corrections because I've heard you guys talk about that in the past. And so I my expectation is that yes, when we get that initial cutline, we'll know that that's our baseline, but then we will know what we need to fix. You're shaking your head at me, Lynn, because I know exactly what you're thinking. But how do we do that? How do we make sure that and hold you guys accountable? And then how do we make sure and public says that so everybody knows where we're at and there's no surprises. >> So we have been working really hard on it this last year, year and a half and have a plan to create a more sophisticated day-to-day board for the school corporation.
So, we have three of those. Um and the goal is to make sure that information is shared with Mrs. Starky and share those with the building so that everyone kind of knows what the plan is for next year on professional development days. And then we also um will be meeting with a group um to plan new teacher institute which was previously known as new teacher orientation that will be held um August 5th, 6th and 7th. And then that information will also roll into new teacher mentoring for next year as we make a few small adjustments to that. That's all happened. >> Did we question? >> Thank you very much. >> Mrs. Sty, >> um, just a couple things, but first of all, I'd like to say, Greg, how long have we been at the alternative? How long has it been since you've been back? Is it six years?
It's amazing and you know I don't want to look past this year. I mean this team is fantastic and we're we're going to be rooting for them and we're hoping for them to go all the way. But we were talking earlier that the next couple of years really look good for the Clockers given some of the freshmen and sophomores and even you know juniors that are here. I mean there's going to be you know we we never like to see the seniors go. They're such a part of the team and make the character of the team and they've been playing with this team for so long. But as you were saying I mean for for a couple of years to come we're going to have a very strong team here. Yeah, this team is really young uh and they've got tremendous senior leadership too. That's one thing that uh has been nice, right?
>> Frustrating. Any other questions? >> I have one question. How collectible are they? So, you get a lean at judgment. >> Well, the at the letter from the attorney was magical. A check was here the next day. >> On what? >> On the one we needed to collect from. >> Good. >> So far, we're one for one. >> 100%. >> And that's where we want to be because it's also good for our employees to completely understand what the rules are when you come to work for someone. So, it's where we are. And you're right. It's sad that we have to do it. >> Well, it's to protect the, you know, protect their job, protect the district. I mean, everything. I mean, >> but I I was concerned if somebody wasn't in a like somebody was saying about a car accident or they were killed in an accident or they wouldn't be coming back to work then.
Um I know it's a 5% in order to lock in the credits. When would we have to pay that potential you know, like I know that this is a rough estimate of the price. When would that cash outflow actually happen? I that's what I need to see is kind of how that >> Yeah, it would be months from now. Um The the way the process works is it's progress payments from when the installation starts. How maybe you receive a bill for 5% that cover engineering and we we would make sure we're at a little over 5% just in case the system sizes change at all. But basically that would be the the extent of what the district would be out per se. And then it wouldn't even be until you started doing the actual installation. So typically once there's a contract between the contract signing and design, we're talking months.
Pull up the exact. >> There we go. >> Thank you. And we had before >> character strong. >> Yeah. But even before that expensive >> the leader in me >> and that is a very expensive. >> Yeah. So this has a it's $950 with a $200 discount at $750. >> Yeah. Thank you. >> And it's access to three years of video and lesson content is what we would have access to which is great deal. Yeah. Okay. All in favor of AE AE really character education say I. >> I opposed. >> All right. Motion carries. >> Um 8F. I'd like to get a motion to discuss for performance services performance assurance agreement. >> Do we have a second? >> Second. >> Dr. and I'm going to turn it over to Chris. >> This is just our agreement with performance to monitor our solar system and maintain it.
It is why um it it turned me into as close to gambling junkie as I maybe ever will be as those checkpoint scores are coming up. Like I'm like and now what are they what are they now? Um so we have been working on that and have been working with that data with our teachers for the last year. you're going to have to give us a minute because given that we don't know what the cut scores are for I learn yet, it makes it a little difficult to be able to predict what's going to happen for this year and even next year, right? But we are working really hard with the checkpoints and that data to be able to then predict where kids are going to be. The state has also begun to the the newer data dashboards that are coming out next year or we're promised at least and I've seen the mockups of them um are very granular for kids and we'll be able to do a much better job with each and every individual kid saying here's the exact thing that we need to help you with and this is how much growth you need with that piece.
Seven. >> This is year five. >> Five. Okay. >> Seems like >> five. Yeah, it does. I lose track. Um, but I just want to say, you know, from where we were, you know, JD and I used to joke we need to keep the alternative school around because we always thought either Eli or Josie would need it. But we're I think we're okay. At least I am. So, I think Josie will be okay. But anyway, you know, we went from having uh JD run down checking on them from the high school and Chris Middleton there being the teacher um to, you know, obviously there was a need um and and Greg has always had the heart for alternative education. I'll go clear back to when we were going out to AIM and when we had, you know, when we were Mike, you were on those board, you were at those board meetings and um going out there and doing um Two Rivers Academy out there.
There is there seems to be a a good team synergy right now. The three seniors are great kids who have provided really nice leadership uh specifically for the younger kids. They've got a couple pretty talented juniors and then this freshman and sophomores is just riddled >> [crying] >> with talent. Um I don't know really what's coming up for the for the Clockers in the next couple years in terms of eighth and seventh grade talent. I don't know those years all that well like I know these current years. Uh but I think the future is pretty bright at least for the next 3 years as the Mastico fouls one back behind the Norwood dugout. Uh to lead off here in the bottom of the fourth. Did they do I haven't been in this field in a while, Mike. Have they done Have they done some work on it?
But if there if they have something that happens that would fall under the Americans with Disabilities Act and would prevent them from returning to work, that would be a different scenario under ADA. >> So if it's an ADA protected thing, that's different. This is for nonAD protected things. >> Okay. I just wanted to make sure that >> All right. With that, I bet you all a good night. Did you'll be on the They just piece.
Um there's a lot of back and forth between racking and the structural engineering and figure out exactly what the panel layout. So For argument's sake, let's say or decided in June. I wouldn't think you would be making payments until the fall at the earliest and probably installation wouldn't even probably start until >> Did you Raphael I think you >> No, that's okay. >> That's that's pretty much >> Oh, okay. What I wanted to ask Kurt if you don't mind if you can talk about some of the school district that that you've done work with and what kind of savings they saw with the project. >> Yeah, I mentioned we've done over 40 megawatts of of just K-12 schools. So we have a combination of many big high school districts New Trier Lake Park Glenbard has three of their high schools has these are ground mounts.
