001respect, communication, and conflict resolution. And honestly, from what I can see, it's exactly what we are trying to um embody as a school district. So, >> um just the way that these teams have um supported one another both within their own team and between the two teams has been really amazing to watch and um just the way they represent themselves and represent our district is really really something. So, I just wanted to put that out there. Yeah, >> you guys get a chance to be heard. So we'll continue to follow our policy of the threeminut time limit. Uh and we will uh give you a heads up when you have one minute remaining. Uh once we hit the three-minute time limit, we'll ask you to wrap up your thoughts so we can move on to

002the next speaker. Um is and the only thing we ask when you go up is just state the name of the street you live in in our district. Is there anyone here who would like to speak tonight about a topic or sharing? >> Does the does that count as a general? >> I'm sorry. >> The superintendence. >> Yes, of course. Yes, please go for it. Sorry. Because I don't want you to have Yeah, you're here. Okay. >> All right. Uh, Billy Hodes, Princeton Avenue, sophomore, Pennsylvania. Um, I think one of the important things for folks to appreciate on the board, our new superintendent, is just how much experience that our team of coaches brings uh to the the game. I most of us have been playing plus or minus 35 to 40 years. And it

003is the kind of sport that you can live your whole life in. there's, you know, opportunities to continue to play locally or internationally, etc. So, I think that's great. I think that the description of the spirit of the game was excellent. It centers around, you know, sort of the golden rule. I think the thing that gets lost if you don't know ultimate is that there's no referees. So, spirit of the game means that it is a self-sufficiated sport. So you are forced to reconcile your uh disagreements in the heat of the moment and there's a structure for doing that and I think that's one of the most important things. I think the other thing about Haven Ultimate is that we are competitive with the band in terms of our inclusiveness. um we don't get up

004to 300 and 400 students but we our our peak years have had close to 100 students playing uh in the 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th 12th grades were also connected to SRRA and have you know sort of a pipeline program in that respect um and then the last thing that I wanted to say was that in in a prior administration we got very close to having a definition um from the board in the administration uh a policy of um a policy of uh club sports defining club sports as a set uh definition with a policy that allows established clubs that are doing good work within the district. Um a framework to be understood by the district. And I think that's one of the things about Ultimate is that uh inside the district despite the fact

005that everybody sees that we're having a lot of success and we're doing a lot of good things, it's not really clear or are you a sport, are you a club, etc. So I think this new designation is really important. Thank you very much for your time and uh good luck tonight. >> Thanks. >> Is there anyone else? Uh very [Music] >> Lynch Binmar Avenue. Just to follow up on Billy's remarks, I want to also extend our appreciation over our now 12th year of existence at Haven Ultimate. It can't be done without administrative support. I believe when dear first step forward to Mary Joe Yanakone, she was the one who found space a little bit of money in the budget to help these once mixed team now grow to what you see tonight which is three

006very successful teams. It was extended with subsequent principles and now is also in place. Your athletic directors, most notably Lenel Mosley, have been extremely supportive of what we do and finding field space when none exists for us to have practices whenever we can. Or when it gets rainy and we're two days to nationals, we get some gym time and that's not easy and we appreciate all of that, too. Also, members of the uh all sports boosters have been very generous in including us in their tent of athletes. As Billy mentioned, we exist in that never never world between SRA and NPA and community sports and your uh PIA uh athletes as well. And finding the money as a community group to send kids to Pittsburgh to send kids up to Ammerst, Massachusetts to play in

007these things is not easy. We want to make sure that the financial burden for our players and their families is as light as possible and they do support that as well. Last but not least, it doesn't happen without deerra. It doesn't happen without volunteer coaches and a lot of parental support and so I just wanted to recognize that and make sure you are aware of that as well. Thank you. Uh is there anybody else off one second? Yes. Hi, my name is Juliet Lloyd and I'm from Cooper Drive in Wongford, Pennsylvania. Um, I just really love to thank the board for like recognizing Haven Ultimate because I know for the past like 12 years like Dedra and like everyone has worked so hard to help us get to the success that we have these past

008few seasons. And I just it's very great as um I'm now a junior. Uh as someone who's been playing with this team for four years since like 8th grade um to see like how these teams grow, how the school is now like appreciating it as a sport, which it it was not like four years ago. But um and I I just like really appreciate all the work everyone's putting into um making this like a more inclusive thing um and like a like just like ultimately more successful. And yeah, I just really appreciate everyone like recognizing ultimate today. Well, not really any agenda. So, can you can you wait a couple of minutes? Thanks. We will we will get we'll move quickly for >> Yeah. Wait. Sorry. We got a couple. I'm also a Haven ultimate

009parent. So, thank you. Um but also that's not why I'm I'm here today. Um, I wanted to just Oh, sorry. Baron Verso, um, Fairfield Drive or Parkridge Drive. We're in the middle of moving and stuff, so that's Yeah, hence the no-brain. Um, but what I wanted to talk about is how amazing it is that we get to host District 12 band festival this year um, in February. So, kids from all the different schools. >> Eron, I'm sorry to interrupt you, but I I I made this young lady sit down. >> Okay. I thought it was part of on the agenda for the finance budget. >> Awesome. And I do want you to say it's very important we have the I'm a big supporter, but could you wait till we >> Well, totally can. I thought

010part of that was on the on the >> Sorry, not not specifically. Sorry. I'm just trying to stick to our >> That's okay. You guys stick to your rules. >> All right. But I I promise we'll get there quickly. >> Oh, don't worry. I'll be here. Thank you. Okay. Does anyone have any anything any comments related to topics on the agenda? Okay. Moving on to our next item uh is the minutes. Our next item for action on the agenda tonight is approval of the minutes of the June 18th, 2025 regular board meeting. Do I have a motion for approval? >> Thank you. Do I have a second? >> Please. Thank you. Uh, any discussion? Okay, seeing none, Miss Rosie, could you please take a roll call? >> I'm sorry. Did you say the second wish

011was Williams? >> Yes. I'm sorry. Thank you. >> Uh, Mrs. Dole. >> Hi, >> Dr. Grande. >> Hi, >> Mrs. Hbert. >> Hi, >> Mr. Miller. >> Hi, >> Mrs. Watman. >> Hi, >> Miss Woodset. >> Hi, >> Mrs. Williams. >> I >> Miss Wakowski Smith. >> Hi, >> Mr. Henry. >> Hi. Motion passes nine to zero. >> Thank you. Uh as an aside, I am told that the audio is now working on YouTube u video. So that's good. Uh moving on to board committee reports. Um starting with educational affairs and this Smith. >> Educational affairs can be watched. We uh record our sessions and it is available for everyone to see on the YouTube channel. Thank you. >> Right. Thank you. Moving on to facilities and finance um as well as policy. Sorry, I

012should have said for educational affairs as well. We haven't started our meetings yet. We had a facility and finance committee last week. So, uh that can be watched on our YouTube channel. Um is there anything that our chairperson would like to add for that or for policy that we want to add? >> So, uh those three are available on our YouTube channel. Moving on to wellness advisory. Uh Mrs. Dele or Dr. We have any updates? Seeing none. Uh, Pennsylvania School Board Association. That's really what I wanted to get to. Mrs. Smith, sorry. That's >> okay. Very good. Okay. PSBA is working very hard uh to help us with our Pennsylvania budget impacts as you know um as you're familiar. And I just wanted to give you the update that Miss Mosley gave us uh during

013finance meeting that uh she reassured us that we are not dependent on the state budget to make payroll or pay our bills and that she stated this is one of the advantages of operating almost completely with local funds. >> Hey, thank you. Um, also KSBA advocacy uh is uh working to protect some of school directors voices in their online accounts. So, uh we're pray pr proud to share PSBA is proud to share a major advocacy development for school directors across Pennsylvania. In the long- awaited Penrest School District uh v Thomas Kaggel decision, the Supreme PA Supreme Court agreed with the PA PSBA's position determining whether a school board director's personal social media posts or public records under right to know law and that it they are if they pass a factsensitive analysis. So they actually

014have to pass an analysis before they could be used uh or as for freedom of information act. So they can't just blatantly ask for uh schoolboard members social media accounts. So also passing out of the house is the updated teacher certification level house bill 1407 legislation would upgrade the grade spans for teacher certification. uh primary they're asking for a primary certification to include prek through grade 6 or ages 3 to 11 as opposed to the separate buckets that they're currently in. Secondary would be grades 6 through 12 or ages 11 through 21 instead of teach separate certificate for middle school and high school. And then for specialized areas uh that would be uh PE preK all the way through grade 12. So, if you have a specialist certification, uh you would be able to um

015teach all 12th grades that if this is passed by the Senate, if it's passed the House, if it's passed by the Senate, uh it'll bring expanded employment opportunities, increase teacher placement flexibility, which will help address teacher shortages. And that that is all I have from PSBA advocacy. Thank you. >> Excellent report. Thank you. This is Darcy Smith. Moving on to the Delaware County Community College Leia and Mr. Miller, you're working with >> Okay, thank you. Uh, moving on to the Delaware County Intermediate Union and Mrs. Hbert. >> I'm not actually the representative. Yeah, >> we're going to we're going to vote tonight.

Just remind everybody. body want to give everyone a chance to speak that we'll try to continue to follow our threem minute time limit. Um we'll give you a heads up when there's about a minute left and if you would when you go to the podium please just give us the name of the street you live in our district. Is there anyone who' like to speak topics not on the agenda there and please go ahead first. >> So I'm Maryann Gazelle. I live at 620 Avenue and talking about the

025cell phone policy. Um I appreciate all the work that you guys did for the cell phone policy that we have now. Um I know I wanted the um bell-to-bell ban, but this is better than not having anything. Um but I know at the end of last year we're talking about how we're going to measure the success or the failure of this new program. So, I was looking in the policy and it said there's nothing very specific about what it says. It just says regular reviews and updates will be conducted to ensure the policy remains effective and relevant. And I don't know what that means. And I remember last time we had a very robust discussion about people who can do all kinds of statistics and this and that stuff that I can't. That might be,

026you know, nice to see. The other thing is I have two high schoolers and last year there was a big problem with people putting the cell phones into the pockets. So, are all the teachers on the same page? You know, they all do they all have the same pocket thing or do some have shelving and are they all going to do it this year? That's another concern I have. So, I don't know how we keep track of that. That's all I really have. Okay. But I appreciate all the work you guys did. I know it's a really hot topic. Um I think either 34 or 35 states in the country have now banned cell phones and I'm hoping that one day Pennsylvania will be there. Um my senior will not benefit from that but maybe

027my sophomore will and I know we all have different feelings about it. So that's all I have to say. Thank you. >> Uh is there anybody else who has would like to speak on topic? Not. >> All right. >> Okay. Aaron Ferso, Fairfield Drive. Um, so about the PMEA district band happening in February. Very, very, very exciting. Um, my son participated in a district and regions last year and so we got to travel to different schools and he did both for jazz band and for concert band. So, we went to multiple schools and so it is a really big deal and so um I know that a couple of parents have been emailing the board and Dr. Johnston about some concerns about our auditorium so that it'll be prepared to host this kind of an

028event. And I appreciate the very prompt and very thorough response to the concerns about lighting and air conditioning and the squeaky noises of the doors every time they close and the birds chirping up in the rafters during the concert. Like getting those things addressed are going to go a long way to making it a more hospitable um concert environment. and also like help us put our our best foot forward for um districts. So anyway, thank you and I appreciate that that you guys are willing to take take care of that because the birds are really annoying. >> Thanks. Uh is there anybody else here who'd like you to Yes, please. Thank you. >> Hi, my name is Grace Lloyd. I live on Cooper Drive in Wallingford in addition to my 11th grade uh daughter who

029who uh who spoke earlier. Um thank you again for recognizing Haven Ultimate and all their accomplishments. It was very it's been a very very exciting year. Um but my daughter Joel Jules is also very involved in multiple music ensembles and programs at Strath Haven. And uh just wanting to add on to what um Erin had mentioned. Uh we're very excited about Strath Haven having the opportunity and the privilege of hosting the PMEA District 12 Band Festival um in February. Um this is an event where hundreds of student musicians and teachers and principles and superintendents from other school districts come and we would love for our high school to be wonderful hosts as Erin said, but right now our auditori auditorium is wolffully inadequate. Um, I know that uh myself and other parents had emailed the

030board and and Dr. Johnston and I just wanted to say on the record um thank you so much for your prompt response uh to our excuse me, communications and your almost immediate follow-up. Um you emailed me today, Dr. Johnston outlined an action plan for every single concern that was listed. So, we just want to thank you for helping us feel heard. We look forward to seeing the George Slick Auditorium just be better maintained, better cared for because it just it not only benefits our high school, but the whole school district and the greater community. So, thank you. >> Great. Is there anybody else who like to comment that's not on the agenda? Sir, >> good evening. My name is Lloyd Long. I live on Giri's Lane with my wife Michelle. She's been an elementary teacher

031for 20 years. We like it here and our kids do too. I'm not here tonight as a parent. I'm here as a lawyer for a family in the community who wants to remain anonymous. They don't want to sue. I am not making any money here. They just don't want anyone to go through what they did at the hands of the district. It's one of those things that could happen to anyone, but not everyone has a free lawyer with 20 years experience handy to guide them through this kind of thing. and it is easily the kind of thing that can ruin lives if not handled correctly. I have asked the district to act for months. All they've done is order two members of the guidance department to stay away from my client's kids, prohibited them from

032accessing their files, contacting their health care providers or family. It sounds bad. Well, they're still in the guidance department around your kids. This is a warning to the community because the because the district won't act. A couple weeks before last Thanksgiving, my clients got an email around lunch one day. It said one of their kids had received an inappropriate text told the adults in charge and school was doing an investigation. Emails from Eric Ler in the guidance department. She didn't respond when the father asked what the text said. The child had to come home and tell the parents it was a rape threat from an anonymous number. school had sent the child back to class, never called the police and waited hours to tell the parents. My clients were insensed and they had a meeting

033with school where they expressed as much. They did so to Erica Ler and Averil Tith, the two guidance counselors involved as well as the principal. It was not a pleasant conversation. I don't blame them then or now. You don't send a pre-teen back to class after getting an anonymous threat of forceful forcible sexual assault. You call the police and the parents immediately. In fairness to him, Dr. Matt Sanka apologized at the end of the meeting about how the matter was handled and promised it would be handled appropriately if there were a next time. My clients wanted nothing else. They considered the matter done because the police had handled everything else. Eric Last and Averil Tiff did not consider the matter completed. Two months later, this past January, one of my clients kids had a mental

034health episode at school. The guidance department had seen this before, and my clients have always kept the school in the loop about treatment. I've seen the emails to the school from them and the child's psychiatrist. There are a good number. Many talk about anxiety which is in paperwork the school has seen repeatedly. Many are emails from the parents to Erica last explaining that the child is late to school due to anxiety related issues. CY showed up at school in January after the episode and left almost as quickly. The call sounded odd to them in the first place. It was from another student at school. They also realized my clients had the situation handled. This was primarily because they spoke with another of my client's children who acted like the only adult in the room explaining

035treatment and conditions. The guidance counselors did not know any of this because cys investigations are confidential. They did know that my client's child had severe anxiety, but they still pulled her out of class a couple days later to figure out what was really going on. Shortly after getting her in the room, they triggered an they triggered an anxiety attack and whipped her into a frenzy against her family. They left a message on mom's cell saying everyone was fine, but they needed to speak with her. Mom was at work and forwarded the message to dad who called school. Turns out everyone was not fine. Erica Ler told him she was in the room with Averil Teeth and his child began accusing him of child abuse and telling him the child did not want to come home.

036The father maintained his composure somehow and talked. >> Mr. Hall could you we're past our time quite a bit past. Can you sort of wrap up your final thoughts? >> We spent 15 minutes on Ultimate Frisbee and I'm proud of those kids too, but this is about student safety. >> We have a policy and we and we treat everybody the same. So, if you could just wrap it up so we can get on, I would appreciate it. >> I see how much we care about student safety. >> Just try to wrap up your final thoughts if you could please. Thank you. >> Well, may I have a deferral of three minutes from anyone in the audience? >> Nope. That's not how it works. >> I'm not asking. I asked the audience. >> Well, this is

037a board meeting and uh we run the board. Just the following people and organizations do not believe my clients are child abusers or any of the other slanderous outrages Eric Last and Ail takeiff accuse them of being. The Nether Providence Police Department, Delaware County CYS, their child's pediatrician, psychiatrist therapist, a family therapist, the psychiatry department at CHOP, or any of their friends and neighbors. I've spoken with all those people and they all know that my clients try their best and never raise a hand to any of their children. In closing, to our community, I have done everything I can to handcuff the guidance department from doing this again in the future to anyone else. I have placed the district on written notice of the danger presented by their employees compromised judgment. And it is my

038professional opinion that if anything approaching this happens again, this district's inaction will make future damages awards significantly higher and could impact the district's ability to ensure itself. Lastly, I have told anyone in law enforcement who will listen because while I want any case coming out of this district to be taken seriously, they have to know that it just might be coming from people who have no idea what they're doing. >> Thank you. Uh, my name is Dean Dennis from Emerald Lane Media Pay. Wow. Wow. I got concerns, but I'm like, wow. Oh, wish I could deferred my time. So, sorry it can't be done. Whoa. Gosh. All right. Um, I'm here today pretty much to give an assessment of my son Alex's uh situation with the school and to basically serve present a personal intreaty

039for Dr. Johnson to get involved in this fiasco that's been devolving because bad and crawl and anyone else they they they they used to commit this sort of uh atrocity. It is totally insane. Um um I wasn't planning on being here today. What sealed the deal in being here was a letter I received uh by Batic at the end of July. Um, I think the letter it stated to uh uh to build uh uh relationships uh grounded in mutual respect and a commitment to Alex's success. Uh I read that. Wow. I was like, who came down the mountain first, Moses or Baddock? Huh, impressive. But then, you know, I I I looked at the letter and um it said it's very important that we have a meeting. No heads up was given. Um it was

040July 29th that it was sent out and it was a demand letter to meet in two days. So I looked further into the letter. I'm like, ah, I'm reading. I'm seeing the nuances here. This was not a request to build a relationship. This letter, right, was meant for a third party intended not to be fulfilled whose sole purpose was to perpetuate propaganda and to enhance an agenda. That's the sole purpose of this. Why in the Dickens would someone send out a letter at the end of July? End of July, what am I doing? I'm fishing, catching bass. I'm water skiing, swimming. That's what I'm doing. End of July. July 29th, I'm gonna all tail my butt back here to have a meeting with her in two days. It's ridiculous. And shame on her. And shame

041on Batt. And and Doc Johnson, you need to do something about that. That is just ridiculous. We're talking about engagement here. Engagement here. That's a ruse. An engagement here that is sinister, a facade of just sinister action here. How can she do that? That the intent of the letter was malicious from from the get-go. And that brings up another engagement especially engagement here with the school district. I found that engagement here is a root or once again a facade for person interaction. And how do you how do you distill that? Well, one if it's coming from crawler batic. Two if it's coming from the school system. And you start to ask yourself questions with any sort of engagement. Does it make sense? I'll hurry up. But does it make sense? Can you make it make

042sense? Is the look good? And does it send a bad message? On the bus, my child was abused by an adult school. I asked for transparency. I asked for accountability. I asked for initiative. Nothing was done. Nothing was forthcoming. Make it make sense. Doesn't make sense. Looks not good. Sends a bad message. Election day in school. My son gave a resonating speech. The vote allegedly was tallied, but no one saw the vote tallied. No memoralization. The vote was taken. exit poll review showed that he had won, but yet he was told he didn't win. The Trump issue, he was told he could write about any entrepreneur. He picked Trump. Tory could not write about Trump because why? Trump is not an entrepreneur. They Googled it. Yes, he is. Well, you still can't write about Trump.

043Now, that's a big issue here. When you look at the voting pass, it showed a three to three to one margin for Harris over Trump. What are we trying to teach these kids? Make it make sense.
