004over it was uh you know very well done a lot of really good work being done there um in the high school uh and so we're making a lot of progress particularly in the areas where um you know we had we had struggled in years past so right thank you sure any questions anyone okay move on to extracurricular Emily so extracurricular meeting was this past week February 24th we met at 6 pm and uh it was a really good meeting had a really good turnout I we had invited um parent representatives from uh all of the booster clubs and many many came we had I think almost all I can't think of a sport that we didn't have represented uh so so that's fantastic uh we discussed old business the uh High School record display

005boards which um there is an update coming there uh down the road but once we get through that we could potentially have a a really nice neat new thing that shows all of our school records both academic and Sport records which is which would be really cool we also have an update on tonight's agenda around um boys indoor track winter indoor track uh we're looking to add that and so there's there's some information um that's coming there that's on the March 13th agenda that is on the March 13th agenda that is not tonight but uh it's coming it is coming yeah so um looking forward to to introducing that we also got some really good news about girls flag football um that is going to come similar to the way girls wrestling came into to

006be we are going to start it as like almost a a club yeah like an exploratory Club couple sessions in April couple times a week in April so girls flag football is a Spring sport which pretty cool and uh we're going to gauge some interest and and start with the club at the club level and hopefully um you know soon we'll we'll get that rolling as a sport it is becoming more and more popular by the day um I think that was all of the major oh then the big thing we talked about was the sports booster club and the policy discussion so we have reviewed uh following our first reading of policy 9:15. one which I'm sure Peg can can speak about in more detail too around booster clubs talked a lot about it

007with our um audience around what what does it look like to be uh to make sure that we are including all sports and that everybody you know all the athletes are are having a good opportunity and chance to um you know receive the benefits of of being Aon at upper perk so um more to come on that and again encourage everybody to to please join in and um visit come to that meeting and uh let us know your feedback next meeting for that is March 17th at 6:m here at the Ed Center that's my report thank you any questions okay we move on to facilities and JP thank you uh the facilities committee met this past Monday the 24th here at the Ed Center uh the focus focus of the committee and administration continues to

008be uh the aestus batement project the high school the roofing work at the 45 Center High School in mararo and the wastewater treatment plant project at Marboro so as the board should have seen Mr warbach sent out an email to the board with details from the meeting um on those specific projects and as you as you should have seen tonight there are two motions for the board to consider uh for approving for approval including approving the project bids for both the Wastewater project and the roofing project um should be noted that the roofing bids came in at under the initial estimated cost so that's a little bit of a win for us since we weren't able to get that school Improvement Grant I know it still bugs Andrea and she has nightmares about it but

009um in terms of the bestest abatement project there's been a lot of work put into the uh preparing the bid documents and we anticipate having the documents available by March 7th along with advertising the project at that time um there will be a pre-bid meeting on March 19th bidding will open April 3rd and then project award by April 10th uh the project is being bid to have substantial work completed by Friday August 15th um going to sound like a broken record here but this is a substantial project so proper planning uh by the administration and execution of the work uh would be critical to meeting the project deadline and welcoming kids back to school on time a few other project notes the Boer boiler vfd at the 45 Center has been replaced the sewer pump

010work at the high school will be starting in two weeks and the coil that I had mentioned last month that had burst in the boys locker room in the high school due to the cold weather uh will be replaced once the new coil is fabbed up and fortunately there was um very minimal damage from that uh event one final thing uh the Marboro ptfs came to the meeting to present their plans for a new Pavilion at at mororo I believe Dr Roach will be providing some content to the board through the board update um but the ptfs has been doing their homework and laying the foundation no pun intended to build an outdoor Pavilion uh for use located inside the new fence at Marboro so the project will be fully funded by the ptfs and

011the committee agreed to put a motion on the March 13th board meeting agenda to get full board approval for that project so next meeting will be Monday March 17th right here at the Ed Center at 7 don't miss it when you say inside defense where do they want to put it at maror so where the playground is it over on that side not where they took out like the kindergarten playground that whole area that's all grass now they don't want to DARE left yeah it left side so thank you any any other questions all right we'll move on to finance committee that's my committee okay so we met February 18th and we went over uh we had Hank Miller here from Gorman and associate to go over the 2324 audit uh I would say that

012there was there's a couple of things uh Finance is working on them I have every confidence that they will be sorted out nicely um it's it looks better than it's ever looked to me and this is my eighth one seventh one uh we also talked about uh Frontline analytics and um the new system that we'll have to have at some point we talked about the upper perum and Valley Library budget uh you'll see on March 13th we will have Christine Bates here from the library to give us an update on all the fun things that they do that benefit our kids here so we'll look for her um we had budget presentation which was technology uh super assistant superintendent and pupil services and also special educ what it was lovely it was lovely Yes actually

015families in the upper perum school district PRI forming a task force which we have discussed at length at the first two meetings is to explore potential solutions to achieving that mission uh we ask Dr finina to share the specific area of the comprehensive plan draft that addresses the ad hoc committee and its purpose to better understand the student perspective reviewed a draft student survey with active participation from Administration and community members present it was determined that student groups are to be included in the composition of the survey questions to ensure we address what students need We Believe spam We Believe incorporating student voices is essential to developing meaningful Solutions the survey has been shared with the board as well for feedback and suggestions for Content based upon the focus of the shift to completing a

016student survey to guide our committee discussion and next steps the March 20th ad hoc committee meeting has been cancelled to provide time for the draft survey to be reviewed by student groups the administration any additional feedback from the committee and the board and the public therefore our next meeting will be held on April 17th at 6:30 here in the edge Center this concludes my report any questions okay thank you Leah um we'll move on to Keith with the Western Montgomery career and Technology Center not a whole lot to report down there it's business as usual just like here doing facilities repairs working on the budget and things like that um some of the things that has happened in the past few weeks is they've gone live with parent Square for notifying their students down there

017just like we did what two three years ago I guess um they received an $80,000 competitive grant for the purchase of a robotic welder to use in their welding program this is one of the best things canting happen down at the school and has been happening down the school we are getting grants we're getting awards from the states we are getting money to help update the equipment down there and hopefully this trend will continue uh this past month just two weeks ago on the fourth and 5th we had skills USA competition we had 35 students participating in that we probably had probably 200 students down there I was actually walking through the one day and those Carters were filled with with kids I don't know the results but I do know that we had a

018number of Kids Place um next meeting is March 3rd next Monday at 7 p.m. and I'll finish up with you've all heard me rave about the dinners they hold down there well I got noticed that they're holding another one there next month Thursday the 27th there's two seatings and it's going to be for Texas barbecue $35 for all you can eat per person uh the bad thing is tickets reservations won't open until the 10th of March so you'll have to like keep checking their website to see if you can get tickets to it unless you know somebody here that has connection down there the uh doing an initial offering to the board members from I think it's from all the boards all the districts so it's 27 board members and the students the parents and

019families of the students in the culinary program they are getting first shot at these tickets so um I'm not going to be able to attend the meeting but if I get reservations I might be willing to part with the tickets for a nominal donation to The Western Center that's all thank you no bribery there right we're at Leah back to Leah with Auber parkum Education Foundation I don't have much to report about the foundation uh we did meet the development committee of the foundation met in January at the end of January to discuss our Outreach and fundraising strategies for the coming months uh I will say that there was a year and 180 day push on beta test campaign that did yield several gifts um all of the Committees are meeting uh to regularly develop

020plans for Branding alumni engagement data acquisition and management and the school Spirits door is open right now until March 9th with deliveries expected by March 24th and the teach teacher Grant application process will be announced soon with applications due by mid April the next meeting of the Education Foundation will be March 10th here at the Ed Center this concludes my report okay thank you uh Trina with the monry County Intermediate Unit all right um it was kind of a long meeting but um they promised me they weren't all that long we were out of there at like 9:30 like oh this is terrible um well the facilities director presented um a couple different upgrades that they're working on it's kind of the tail end of their Capital project so that sounded like everything was going

021along smoothly um one of the biggest things that happened was Sandy Ed was approved as the CFO to take the place of Bradley Landis who's retiring um let's see uh we watched uh the audit report and there was nothing to report to keep an eye on going forward so that sounded good um they are reviewing some of their policies as well including the policy 85.1 the AI policy um let's see oh and one thing that people might want to keep an eye on is that they've also opened up their comprehensive plan it is public uh open today as of today for review on their website if you want to take a look at what they have going on on their um comprehensive plan I know one thing that they're focusing on that's sort of new

022is um incorporating um tracking and making sure that student mental health is taken care of um and let's see that was one thing that we talked about and oh to do that they're using project aware which I think they've used before and a a vum which I hadn't heard of um they also mentioned that there's a shortage of school psychologists in Pennsylvania so um if anyone wants to encourage someone in a career field there is a shortage there um last but not least uh they are in contract negotiations right now so um they will be we'll be discussing that further as we move forward looking to I guess end of June is usually the end of the contract right so that's it thank you great any questions all right hearing none we'll move back to

023Peg with legislative liaison report the Montgomery County School director's legislative committee met on February 5th at 6 o'clock we we did that via Zoom um you've already received much of this information in Dr roach's February 14th board update but let me refresh your memory uh so the things we discussed at the meeting included a couple of things on a federal level there was discussion on various forms of federal funding that schools receive funding includes things like idea title funds Medicaid Head Start school nutrition programs as well as a variety of other grants on a state level the group reviewed the governor's budget proposal the general consensus with that was that while there are districts receiving adequacy and uh Equity dollars we see an increase in that the budget was minimal for the remaining districts however

024there is hope for an additional Cyber Charter reform such as a Statewide $8,000 rate per student uh the committee co-chair Laura Johnson she's uh on the board at Pottstown she discussed a letters to the editor campaign that she's working on with several committee members as well as partners in other counties and the goal is to have positive public education news distributed to Media Outlets by board members between now and the end of June the letters would be under 300 words and focus on why public education matters and if there are any board members here who are interested in the campaign please see me and I'll give you the contact information this year's legislative breakfast and press conference will be held on April 25th so mark your calendars and the psba day on the hill is

025scheduled for May 13th um and again board members you're always encouraged to follow legislative activity through Dr roach's weekly board updates for up-to-date legislative and Legal Information our next meeting will be March the 5th this concludes legislatively Aon do you mind if I do a little PIAA thing I asked Sarah if it was okay she said it was fine so um we had a PIAA board of directors meeting on February 19th which I was unable to attend because of negotiations here but I connected with Jim Shire who sits in for Nathan Main's um on the board as we speak quite frequently so just a couple of highlights that I wanted to mention the nfhs is continuing to develop rules for girls flag football that's in full swing and ready to to rock and roll um

026the PIAA board of directors has recommended officially recommended a sportsmanship message for all schools and as you can all imagine and probably know that sportsmanship is a high priority and running events it has become more and more challenging with fan behavior um things like that so the the statement reads the school and the PIAA promote the highest ideas of good sportsmanship actions are language meant to demean contestants teams Spectators and officials are not in the highest ideals of inter Scholastic education and will not be tolerated let today's contest reflect mutual respect we request your cooperation and supporting today's contestants and contest officials in a positive manner offensive and unsportsmanlike language or conduct will not be tolerated and may serve as grounds for removal please respect our student athletes coaches contestant officials and game Administration for

027with your cooperation to promote a safe positive and positive game environment thank you so I know that Mr kwig uh gives a pack announcement before each game so I think the PIAA is also asking schools to incorporate that PIAA is always looking for national anthem singers at Championship contest and it sure would be nice to have up a perk have somebody do that I that we did it at a couple schools that I work that it's really a neat opportunity for our student uh vocal artists to perform in in front of a championship audience the NCAA college-bound student athlete has come out with their booklet for the 25 26 coming up school year and I did forward a copy of that to the athletic office and they'll be posting it on the website so that

028parents and student athletes have access to that information uh sports Spring Sports start on Monday today but we are still in the playoff process for winter sports across the state and the next month we'll have the Wrestling Championships swimming and Diving championships the Basketball Championships of course and again April 6th through the 12th April 6th through the 12th is the officials appreciation week so remember our Sports officials and uh the great work that they do and this concludes the PIAA report thank you all thank you any questions yeah Peg um I do think that fan Behavior at sporting events is very important um I would also like to ask you if you just right now is I'm skipping a step here can you just send me the information to um contact the letters to the

029editor thank you okay all right last but not least Sarah with regional planning we met last night and we had reorganization and we had review of the comprehensive plan zoning audit and then we had our regional updates from the municipalities a lot of talk about chickens and an update on the Dollar General the shells up anybody see that I didn't see it um so yeah that was about it our next meeting March 26th at 700 p.m. at the Marval Township Building were people in favor of chickens or not in favor of chickens is the question I think everybody wants chickens and now there's going to be a lot of ordinances popping up okay well thank you everyone we'll move on to presentations and discussion and we'll start with the proposed 2025 2026 school calendar thank

030you uh just a quick uh presentation here on the calendar I know it may seem weird that we're we're asking the board to uh consider the draft that's on the agenda tonight for the 2025 26 Calendar we're not able to finalize the end of the 2425 yet but we'll I'll handle that here in another couple slides but the calendar that's on the agenda tonight is very basic but it's some more important information basic in terms of previous years one or two nuances but want to make sure that we uh we put that in front of everyone as they're looking at it so right now we are planning on the first teacher day uh the the teacher in service days they're 19th to 22nd at Tuesday Wednesday Thursday and Friday as it has been in the

031past an optional report day for some online training and a a classroom time based upon what the teachers need there the first du day is Monday August 25th again very similar to the previous years um something new to the calendar uh in the past year there was two days off a Monday and a Friday in in October uh this this calendar draft has kind of a new flare to it just to put two days back to back so Friday August 31st would be a 3-hour early dismissal that would be the early dismissal for October followed by two in service days on the third and fourth Monday and Tuesday into election day to give our team some blocks of time to get some data days they say it's a really good time for that and some

032other PD all in there as opposed to having U fractured days in in October it's a new new look at it see what we can do if that's um okay with the with the with the board here with that draft maintaining our teacher conferences there the Monday and Tuesday before um Thanksgiving in the uh and for conference and as we've had in the past an agreement with UPA to do kind of an offset day on Monday 11: to to 8 uh 11: in the morning to 8 and then 8 to 10 I'm sorry 8 to 12 the next day so we're able to have some evening conferences and some offset time there which seems to work well for our families as well as our staff moving on to winter break so the winter break is

033Wednesday the 24th which I know not everyone's thrilled to have to go on the 23rd and right into 24th but then it's an extended break on the far end going back to school on the 5th so it's a longer on the on the back end than on the front end for that spring break is set there the April 2nd to the 6th and right now the tentative last student day is on the 9th and the um the teacher I don't know why it's repeating there but the last teacher day is on the uh on the 10th so that bottom part is is incorrect teacher and service days must be a copy and paste error so June 10th right now is the last tentative day for teachers at a day of 190 uh for them that's

034their Flex day that's in that we've had over the course of many years so that's an overview but again as Mr uh preo I think he prepped me a little bit to say about some of the summer work that's coming so ideally we were going to finish the school year and have the summer work come in it we have Renovations at the the high school Marboro and the 4 five Center um which are some major Renovations with the um with the roofing the speci bement project to the high school as well as the waste water up in Marboro so all we're hoping to have all that ready to go and and no and a smooth entrance into the school year it is possible that if one or many of those projects don't um or need

035a little additional time um we may have to push the start of the school year back a little bit we will know that by end of July early August so August 14th that first meeting we have we would if we had a recommendation not that I want to relive my six years ago when I started that had pushed it back a little bit but we do want to start all our students in person on uh on time but if we hadn't push them back we' push them back to just after Labor Day I assume if that's there it's possible that's not the plan but I want to be very transparent that that's possibility um heading into there and hopefully it's just me overreacting but that's there so that's a Quick Clip there of the calendar

036so we would just have to push that back um so so that's the that's the calendar that's before you for 2526 and we still have three snow days built in we still have the ability to have the FID days so um as you may have seen from other districts they have different makeups some can't some don't have snow days some don't some they have to use emergency days I appreciate the flexibility that we have here where if it needs to be a FID day because the weather is just crummy but they really can't do anything with it the ability to have a snow day when we get that opportunity um and then obviously our dismissal our early dismissals and late arrivals if needed as well so we'll continue to to monitor those into the calendar

037next year and also kind of look at that those changes at the that were made at the state level with the the number of hours we're still keeping our eyes on on that as well so the end of 2425 um we're almost there give give us a month and we'll be able to nail down that last student day um we have we still have three snow days in our calendar we have three FID remaining we've only used two and a couple other delays so ideally if we had some snow we would use one day and then use FID the rest of the day to stay within that week because without with bringing those those three days up the last student day if we don't use any snow days would be June 5th if we Ed

038one student day it' be June 6th that's a Friday and then we're all Capt captured in that week there uh the 10-day forecast looks great right now there's nothing there um I have a day off in there somewhere I know Dr F said that's the day the snow's going to happen so anyway that's the plan so we're just asking for the just a month from now we'll be we'll bring you the final calendar you guys can approve the the last day um for students that's K to K to uh K to 11 and hopefully it's either it'll be either the 5ifth or the sixth besides something really going wonky to have to use two snow days and I don't want to drag to the next week because it also means our construction and everything can

039start on Friday afternoon working themselves right into the to get there ideally as kidss are walking out for graduation the contractors are coming in on the same thing so we'll get that but you can count on hopefully the fifth and 6th uh Thursday or Friday for that but we will firm tonight the graduation right now is planned on Tuesday June 3D lock it in that's what it's going to be and we're going to keep it at five o'clock both Mr Flanigan and I agreed that that worked out well last year a lot more people kept around people could get going so um we'll do that's the that's the date and time we'll publicize that um and then if happens to rain um the 5:00 gives us the ability to shift to 7 if that's the

040better time and then anytime the next day within that range to get it in because we know we want to have it outside so that's the plan we're going to publicize that in tomorrow's Friday blast all the parents that keep calling I'm sure Mr Amber is getting those calls about when's graduation and all those types of things we're just going to lock that in right now regardless of the fifth or sixth for the K to K to 11 students and I appreciate Mrs Penny picker I thought you're going to steal my thunder I know it's not PIAA but let's acknowledge our our Bachi team won the upper Montgomery Championship beating both perk Valley uh and and North 10 and they will be re at regionals next week um representing the Montgomery County area so um

041I did have in speaking with Mrs McCormick have an invitation to Mr thrush to come to next month's extracurricular committee meeting and then depending on how that goes if we can bring him here that will be wonderful as well so I threw that in there at the end of this the calendar so hot news so that's the end of the report thank you anybody have any questions okay all right well we're going to um we'll move to Mr Summers our esteemed colleague uh for our solicitors report and sunshine act announcements thank you Madame President uh by way of sunshine act announcements the board did meet in an executive session immediately prior to tonight's meeting for the purpose of discussing a matter of collective bargaining involving the upper perum Education Association as well as a matter
