>> Any questions or comments? Hearing none, all those in favor signify by saying aye. >> Aye. >> Opposed. Motion carries. Therapy dog proposal has been scratched. Brings down on item 8.10, surplus technology inventory. >> Yeah, this should uh wipe out the rest of our surplus inventory. Um Mr. Percival, do you want to tell them what we're >> Yeah. >> getting rid of? >> Yeah, [clears throat] so we we recently went through all of our networking closets and kind of cleaned things up and we decided to move on from some of our older HP 650 G5 laptops that teachers had about 7 years ago. Um they're giving us a pretty good price at $65 per unit. Um then we also have some 500 G2 Chromebooks and then some desktops from the old uh Cisco lab or the uh Principled Way lab. So, it's looking anywhere from about $3,875 for that buyback.
Arnold pulls back good defense by Byron. MacWherter picks up the switch. Arnold still with the ball. Good job by Merritt to void a step in and stop the shot from happening. And she kicks the ball back to I was Daniels turning around and finding other Daniels maybe. I think 44 scored that. >> Yeah. I I think I think so. >> [screaming] >> It's Daniels' second goal of the game. Cut the Spartans lead down to one 7 to 6 with 10:46 left to go in the game. >> And there was some good defense there from the Spartans, but just a couple good passes broke them down. >> Yeah, great great passing around for from the Red Raiders. Being really patient, waiting to find that open open player as they did and Daniels finds the back of the net for for Melrose. Put them within one. McKechnie and Matthews on the draw.
So So our summer camp right now we rolled out is $200 a week. that camp runs 8 to five every day. Um, but it's a it's a large number, you know, so we're already, you know, we've we've reached out to families that that need that help. And I would say a large percentage of of those families need some sort of help. I would say probably 80% of of the population needs help with that fee. So, we've got a lot of work to do with that. I think, you know, part of of that philanthropic arm we have is to raise those dollars, you know, whether it be public or private to to make sure those things can continue to happen. But there are um there are fees um but the the whole idea is very low, very affordable. >> So you have something in place that if a child really needs uh want to go and the uh parents cannot afford it, uh do you have some type of strategy to help that?
This year's top female athlete is Mary Harmon and top male athlete is Ethan Smith. [applause] [applause] like to thank everybody and the best of luck to our graduates. [applause] Good morning. Congratulations, class of 2026. My name is Mrs. Jane Really, and I'm here to present a scholarship in memory of my husband. My husband, Randy, was a caring and hardworking person. He was a 1979 graduate of Batesaw High School. He participated in the school to work program when he was in high school, working in the grocery business. He continued to work in the retail business his entire life. He worked his way up through the business from a cashier stockperson to managing over six convenience stores and eventually owning his own store. Randy also had a love for the outdoors. He eventually opened up RJ Bait and Tackle which included servicing over 25 stores with Bait and Tackle which I continue to operate today to help fund the scholarship.
So, rather than just collecting dust or us recycling and just getting not much money for weight, we decided to sell it back. So. >> Thank you. >> Yep. >> Entertain a motion to approve the surplus technology dump. >> So moved. >> Well, that's what it is. We're dumping it, right? >> [laughter] >> Second. >> [cough] >> Second. [clears throat] >> Any other questions, comments? Okay.
Ball's loose. Ball's still on the ground. Matthews Matthews comes up with it, turns around, and gets the ball to the Daniels. Daniels off to the races. Turns around, finds Daniels takes a shot. Good save by Julia Gray. As now the ball's behind the cage. They kick the ball out to Arnold. Arnold up on top to Matthews. Matthews to Healy. The other Healy. Turned around, going around. No, that Healey. That's Daniels. Melrose 10 seems to be dangerous when around the back of that cage finding those open cutters. Somebody's got to give help. Good job by Mary to avoid it. Stay with that. Good job by Kylie Marino to get a piece of that. That ball goes out of bounds. Spartans ball. Gianna Byron picks it up. Gianna Byron with a little bit of room to go. And Byron gets forced out of bounds. Good job by Melrose to force Gianna out of out of bounds.
Yes, we do. Yes. Essentially, the simple >> Okay. >> simple simple answer is we would we'll never turn a child or family away because of their inability to pay any of the fees. Um so, you know, we have those conversations. Um but very, you know, in informal, not not invasive, you know, here here's the fee, what can you potentially do or not do? And and we try to set something up and make it um you know, comfortable for them um and easy for them. We don't want the fees to be a burden for the families. >> Thank you very much. >> You're welcome. >> Um I just want to thank you all right Mike and Kristen and Chris. Um you know this provides another amazing opportunity for the kids in Danberry, an affordable opportunity. Um the research, you know, that sticks with me is that from 3 to 8:00 p.m.
Even with his busy schedule, he found the time to coach softball and mentor young people in our community. Randy was also the primary caregiver of my father who had Alzheimer's for 5 years. Randy was all about giving of his time to help others and encouraging young people to do their best. Randy often told our children and the people that worked for us, "It doesn't matter what you do in life. Be proud of your work. Be honest and respectful." Randy lost his battle with melanoma cancer on July 16th, 2020. Through the generous support of many friends, family, and community members, we were able to establish the scholarship in his name. The scholarship is open to area seniors, no matter what their career path takes them, four-year college, trade school, military, or directly into the workforce. This year, we are able to award two scholarships. I awarded one last Friday to a student at South Ripley.
Hearing none, all those in favor signify by saying aye. >> Aye. [snorts] >> Aye. >> Opposed, same sign. Network [clears throat] switches upgrade. >> Yeah. So, this is the like last part of our networking upgrade. Um with this project, we're going to fully upgrade the rest of our switches. We did part We did about 75% last year, and then this this year we'll do the last 25%. So, Pipe Creek will get refreshed, Mac El will get refreshed, um because we just we utilized all of our E-rate money for the last 5 years, and then we get a new bucket for this 5 years. So, I just want to stay on top of switches, and then battery backups, and then APs, so we just kind of continue that process. So. So, that's what I recommend. Um looks like it's what uh $13,902 that we'll be responsible for, but it's about a $70,000 networking project that we get for that price.
Melrose will restart their offense. Daniels with the ball. Kicks the ball over to Matthews. Matthews over to Daniels. Looking to Look to set up a Daniels versus McKechnie. McKechnie stays in front. Kicks the ball back out to Matthews. Mac Whitworth turning around. And Matthews turns around goes around the corner gets one by Julia Grade even it all up. 7-7 with 8:55 left to go in the fourth quarter. It's Matthews' third goal of the game. She has a hat-trick. >> Big draw coming up here cuz I think >> Absolutely. Spartans haven't won one in a >> That's Yeah. >> while. Spartans' lone goal was McKechnie in the in the third quarter. So, right now Melrose is up 3-1 after half time. It's all tied up now. 8:55 left in the fourth quarter. McKenney and Matthews on the draw. Ball goes up. False start by Matthews. Lucy Parsons gets the ball over the restraining line.
and what happens and so many of our families work multiple jobs around the clock. So students, you know, if they're not at school participating in something that we're doing, um, you know, they're they're home. They're either, you know, kind of hanging around waiting or they're in their neighborhood. And we know because we get the reports a lot of times when things happen, it's it happens after school. And um, knowing that there's uh, a safe place for students to go that is, you know, really thinking about the student as a whole child and their well-being. And it's not just it's not just just not just a babysitter. um there's real academic uh social emotional components to what you do and leadership things that happen in informal and formal ways. So um we're appreciative of it. I feel like in the last um couple of years here between what we're offering now with a revived park and wreck department, the offerings that are coming on online and the care and commitment there, what we have offering our students uh through the clubhouse, the the opportunities that they're going to be gaining through the school system um that you know the the the local community is is on the rise and are supporting the families that are here.

So. >> Pretty good deal. >> Yeah. >> Entertain a motion to approve the network switches upgrade. >> So moved. >> Second. >> Any questions or comments? >> The E-rate uh uh addition we get, is that an ongoing thing that you don't see drying up in the future? >> Uh I don't Correct Correct me if I'm thinking it. >> [laughter] >> But, they did talk about last year that it would dry up, um which is really scary for IT departments all over [clears throat] the country. Um but, since I've been doing it for 15 years, we've had nice funding cycles of 5 years, um and that's how we've been keeping everything kind of status quo. >> There's some significant lobbying going on at the federal level to both do away with it and also keep it. So Um and so far the keeping it is winning.
She's always speedy. Lucy Parsons turns around goes in. Smartly pulls the ball back. Gets the ball over to Emma Kramers can't handle it. Ball goes out of bounds. Melrose comes up with it. Melrose over the 40-yard line. Weaves in and out. And looks like Matthews will get the ball over the restraining line. And set up the spar- set up the Red Raiders offense. As she's saying, we need a a big stop. >> Yep. Big possession right here. >> Yes. Matthews turns around. Ball goes back to Matthews. All the way to Healey. Melrose calling out there in their play that they want. It's Downs with the ball to Matthews. Over to Arnold. Or Daniels. Daniels switches left, gets over to Matthews. Turns around to fires one into the middle. >> [cheering] >> This time it's Arnold with the ball. Arnold gets her her third goal of the game to put Melrose up 7 to 7 to 8 with 7:26 to go in the fourth quarter.
