And like even beyond that, I feel like like you were my my uh my home room teacher freshman year. Like I had just moved to the area. I knew nobody at all and you were like the first like friendly like adult face I had. So you've kind of been like an anchor for me like throughout all these four years too. So yeah.

He'll be attending the University of Florida and he's recognizing Dr. Lisa Wooden Smith. >> Good evening everyone. My name is Justin Pac and I'm recognizing Dr. Wooden Smith and I have something written down. Dear Dr. Woodland Smith, I really appreciated you as a teacher this year. Signing up for your class last year intimidated me due to the rigor and quantity of homework. However, as I got acclimated, I realized that everything you assigned had a purpose. During your class, I never felt like I was wasting my time. Everything was building towards the big exam, and I've never felt so prepared to take a test until now. You were among the few who seem to love

007what you taught, and I could sense that every day. Because of you, I'm not only prepared for the AP exam, but I'm also more confident in my ability to succeed succeed in college. As I continue to grow as a student, I plan on plan on adopting your studying methods and applying them into the foreseeable future. I wish you the best retirement and a well-deserved retirement. Your student Justin Peek and our final student for tonight is Regan Steepovich who will be attending St. Joseph's University and is recognizing Mr. Corey Holder. So, >> um, Mr. Holder, um, as you know, I never had you actually as a teacher, which might be why I like you so much. >> But, um, just in like little conversations and having lunch with you, uh, you really like saw something in

008me that like just that I was a good person and a good student and that really like impacted me. I've never like kind of experienced that. normally, you know, adults that have taught me that have seen that. And so that really gave me like this confidence in like who I am and the way that I can impact others that really like stuck with me throughout high school. Um, so I just want to say thank you for always having an open door. um you just whether I was frustrated, whether I was happy, like I could always come into your room and you would have advice. You would have a conversation with me whether even if you had a full bio class going on like you would take the time to come and talk to me and

009have a conversation and whether it was about a lot of times ended up being about like education or the state of things like that really like impacted me and it's stuff that I still like think about now. Um, and I just I really like um especially the conversations we've had about your past. Like when you told me that you went to high school with Biggie Smalls or that at your last school you had like alligators just like walking around the school like >> definitely not. Um, but you know I trust Mr. Holder. And just one of the things that we first connected on was that your ringtone was Godzilla's roar. Um, and that like really like it like struck because my grandmother used to always make us watch Godzilla when I was little and that

010really like hit something in me and that's why I got you this book about Godzilla. Thank you. >> Great. Thank you so much. It's always so amazing to hear like what an impact our teachers have on our students. So, thank you so much for sharing that. Sorry, I have a little bit of a cold sharing that with us. Um, I didn't get to hear what was the title of the second book. Okay, thank you. Well, thank you so much for sharing all of that with us this evening. I do want to get a picture with everyone, our teachers and our students. and you're welcome to stay or just grab some cookies and go, whatever you prefer. We do have another presentation and that is for our retiring school board representatives. Oh, Isabelle and Reed. And

011I did want to just make short remark. So, we'd like to extend our sincere gratitude to Isabelle and Reed for their two years of dedicated service as Whisa Hickens student representatives. Their commitment to representing the student voice has made a meaningful and lasting impact on our district. Throughout their time on the board, they served as an essential bridge between students and district leadership, ensuring that the student perspective were cons was consistently heard, respected, and included in important conversations. And I always did appreciate that when you would share what um your students thought about anything we were discussing. Isabelle has brought a thoughtful, articulate, and student centered approach to her role. consistently demonstrated maturity, insight, and a strong sense of responsibility, helping to elevate the voices of her peers in a meaningful way. Her ability to

012communicate student experiences and concerns with clarity and professionalism has made her an invaluable contributor to the board discussions. Her leadership reflects a deep commitment to her school community and a genuine desire to make a positive difference. And Reed has likewise shown outstanding dedication and leadership during his time as a representative. Known for his strong work ethic and well-rounded involvement, especially I know you talk a lot about her athletics. Um, uh, Reed has effectively balanced academics, extracurriculars, and his responsibilities to the board. His perspective, engagement, and willingness to speak on behalf of his student fellow students have made him has made him a strong advocate for the Whisten student body. Together, Isabelle and Reed have exemplified what it means to lead with integrity, purpose, and collaboration. We're grateful for their service, proud of their contributions, and

013excited to see all that they accomplish in the future. Thank you so much, both of you. Would anyone else like to make any comments? >> Yes, I do. I I feel like I'm the luckiest board member because for the last couple of years, I get to sit next to our students and I feel like I get the inside scoop and get to really build really great relationships with them and echo everything Amy said. um you know, you've brought really great perspectives and I'm so proud of everything that I've seen the last two years, but I'm also so extremely proud of both of you for what you're going to accomplish next and I hope I could follow you and see where you go and I can't wait for you guys. Congratulations. You've been a great asset

014to us and to your community. Thank you. I also wanted to say thank you to you both. Um, whenever this time comes up where the seniors are leaving, I feel like I've gotten to know you and it's like really hard to say goodbye because we like having you here. Um, Isabelle um actually sent me one of her college essays for me to look at and I had no critiquing other than this is amazing. It was so well written and you're so passionate about what you know you believe in and what you're doing and um I just think that's amazing. So keep that up and read um obviously um we have a bond about swimming but you know I've heard from so many parents that you are such an incredible leader and person on the team

015and I think beyond your swimming ability that is just like the hugest compliment. So you guys are both going to be awesome and I wish you the best of luck. Thank you so much. >> Uh yep. Um, I used to sit over there and I and not that Dan and Danielle are not fantastic, but I miss it. And uh, just a a comment that when there are discussions and you guys provide your opinion, uh, we take that to heart and actually probably listen to that more has a higher weight. So, thank you. I just wanted to add, I've only been on here short time, but you're both just so impressive, so poised. Um, like Zephy said, I can't wait to see what you guys accomplish next. Isabelle, I am sure that you're going to be

016the first female NASA administrator of all time. Uh, and I'm very excited for it. But both of you are going to do great things and, uh, that's just thanks for your contribution. Um, I want to thank you guys not just for your board service, but also I know that both of you are very active participants in the WISH High School community and have benefited um all your classmates in the high school um population in general. I know Isabelle, you've been like very um involved and instrumental with Hispanic and Latin students association and I think um getting some of the other student affinity groups up and running and um getting traction at at the high school which is fantastic. Um Reed, I remember um before you even applied to become a stu student board rep, you

017had some involvement with the board as an advocate along with your dad out there for uh the creation of uh boys volleyball as a sport at Whisticken and uh those advocacy efforts were successful and I think it inspired you to become a board member. Um but still I I appreciate you taking the time to number one apply and then you know commit your time and energy and effort the past two years with us at the board table. So, I know both of you guys are going to do fantastic in college and do great things beyond that. And we appreciate the short time that we had you here with us. So, thank you. I'll be brief. Um, one of the things that we know about the student board rep role is that it's not a passive

018role. It's an active role. It takes a great deal of preparation, bringing forward your perspectives, planning, and being thoughtful about how you're representing the student body, and making sure that you're representing your peers in a way that's thoughtful and engaged. One of the things that I value so much is you keep us grounded in conversations that keep us connected to why we are here. And so the perspective that you bring forward, the opinions and insights that you share, um the the comical relief that you provide at times, all of those things help us to stay grounded. And for that, we're so grateful. We're thankful for the time and effort that you put into this role. And we know that you're going to do amazing things. Thank you. >> Anyone else? All right. We're going to

019do a picture with you as well, Joe. Oh, you want to make some comments? Go ahead. >> Oh, yeah. I just wanted to say thank you um for this opportunity. You know, I've really enjoyed it and loved getting to see the inner workings of the board and how decisions are made and that whole process works. >> I just want to second everything he said entirely. Thank you for u obviously having us here and the tiny recognitions and I want to say that um definitely the the college essay I poured so much time and effort into. I'm glad you definitely enjoyed it. So, thank you. >> All right. Now, we'll do a picture. All right. Well, that brings us now to our first public comment period. And I would say this, too. Our parents of our

020student reps are also welcome to stay or you can also grab some cookies and go. Your choice. Um, but we're at our first public comment period. No one in person. No one online. >> I have no hands raised online. >> All right, then we'll close our first public comment period and we'll move on to the president report. I have nothing this evening. Superintendent report. I don't have any um items this evening, but I did want to just take a moment to um offer some gratitude. So, um Mr. Bricker has been working really hard this year to identify as many grants as possible, which we're so grateful for. And so this is an opportunity for us to extend our sincere gratitude actually to our state representative Liv Liz Han B Liz Hanbage for her instrumental work

021in securing a $125,000 grant for the lower Gwenned playground project. Um we also Yes. Yeah. That's hot off the presses. Um, we also want to thank uh, Representative Hamage for her dedicated staff and her commitment throughout the application process. It was extensive involvement that we needed from her office and um, she was there and her team to help us and ensure that we were able to secure that grant. Furthermore, we want to express appreciation for the advocacy of Senator Maria Colette and Representatives Missy K Sado, Liz Hamage, and Matt Bradford for their formal letters of support because that those letters have been vital in supporting our efforts through state grant applications, which we haven't gotten yet, but we are still hopeful for. One is for the Stony Creek Elementary roofing project grant for $1.5 million

022and the other is for Lower Glennard Elementary's mechanical project grant for $4 million. So, we're so grateful for all of their advocacy and support. Just wanted to give a shout out to them and to Mr. Bricker and his team. So, thank you. And that concludes my report. >> Wow. Well, thank you so much, Tim. That is amazing and thank you so much to representatives uh Hanbage Sorado Bradford and Senator Colette for all their support. All right, then we'll move on to our assistant superintendent report. >> Thank you, President Ginsburg. We have one item tonight that is an action item. It is the Pennsylvania Department of Education flexible instruction day program affirmation and the board of directors received a memo outlining this item with information related to renewing the approval for the 2026 through 2029 school

Uh there are no items this evening. >> All right. Um extracurricular Dan, >> nothing to report. All right. Um, and then for MCIU, I did just have a few things I just was going to note. Um, we did recognize the passing of Dr. Harkin. He was the director of the MCIU for 30 years, uh, from 1974 to 2004. So, we did recognize his impact on the MCIU. Uh, just like here, we also celebrated teacher appreciation week. Um, we're actually

033looking to transition from board docs to keystone agenda, but that won't be until sometime next year for next year's meetings. But we're looking to get away from board docs. And then know what I just closed out of that. Um, we're also having a mental health awareness resource fair on May 19th. Uh coming up we'll be honoring uh 14 retirees who together have 300 plus years of service which is pretty amazing. Um and then we talked about at our legislative meeting a couple different um uh federal funding cuts um that could reach total estimated amount of 6.5 billion in reduction for K through 12 funding. Um, title one remains levelfunded, but several programs may be consolidated or eliminated, which could impact support for teacher development, English, English language learners, migrant education programs. Um, IDEIDA funding is

034proposed to increase but through consolidation of existing programs. Um, so the overall structure and access to funds may change. Uh there was also some discussion of cyber charter and AI instruction um such as allowing districts to avoid paying cyber charter tuition if they operate um a qualifying in-house virtual program restricting AI as the primary method of instruction which I did not even know like there were schools out there that taught through AI only which was interesting. Um so those are just a couple of the things discussed. So that's my MCIU report. Now I navigated away now. All right. And next is North Monco. >> Nothing uh in addition to what was discussed last week. >> Okay. Uh PSBA. I just wanted to remind the board that if we wanted to submit any proposals for the

035PSBA legislative platform, they're due June 26th and we do have to vote on them. So maybe what we'd want to do is brainstorm this month, talk about it at the first working session and then maybe put it on the agenda if we choose to on the second time in June, the second meeting in June. We tal we sort of threw around some ideas I think a board meeting or two ago. Maybe I should I can write them down sort of and email them to the board and then we can see if we want to vote on that. >> Okay, great. All right, then that brings us to our second public comment period. We have no one in person. Anyone online? >> No hands raised online. >> Great. We'll close our second comment period. Board comments.

036>> I h I have one quick comment. Um on May 10th I attended a forum by the Rasnack um where they had a forum called Rested and Ready. Um and it showcased a number of different superintendents across the the Commonwealth that have undergone a change in uh a change in starting times for secondary schools. It was very well attended. Um the speakers, all the superintendents who came and shared their stories um were really really amazing because they all had very very different vantage points and had uh approached this change in very unique different ways. um and you know uh echoed kind of a lot of the things that we experienced when we were proposing this change and the steps that they went through to kind of overcome this change. But um overwhelmingly they all said

037that they were happy that they made the change. Their students um are happy with the change. Their families are happy with the change. Uh some of them did allude to like the staff was probably the hardest thing to move, but they have since you know found ways to kind of help um everyone understand what was the primary purpose of this of making this change. And they all had seen at least at an anecdotal level how many how this change had a positive impact. And the things that they were able to report immediately were tardiness, lateness, um absentes and even things like um altercations in schools and behavioral issues in schools. Those have significantly dropped from previous years uh with this change. um and they believe that the later school start was attributed to that. Um

038a lot of those resources are on the website. So I urge if anybody's still interested in rekindling this idea to go ahead and look at it. It's I still think it's powerful and important. And one thing that stuck out to me was um a number of superintendents weren't able to get to 8:30, but uh decided to still do a step-wise approach because they felt 7:30 was not like some of them said they were starting at 7:30. Um felt like even a 15 20 minute change in the bell schedule had an impact. So, um, a lot of them were were opted to do a step-wise approach. So, happy to answer any questions. >> I actually have a question for our reps. This is your last meeting, so we might as well ask you one more question.

039Um, so Reed, I don't know really if this would apply to you because with swimming, you come to school early anyway, right? But Isabelle, did you your first period, you have that option of coming in later, right? >> Did you Did you >> personally I have senior priv in the afternoon? >> Oh, you have it in the afternoon. >> Bonus block. >> The bonus block. Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I do have that. >> So, what time does that enable you to come in then? What time do you come in in the morning >> for my signs? >> 8:25 is when your first class >> classes start, but you can come in the building starting at 7:37. So, do you come in then at like right before 8:25 or when do you come in? >>

040Uh, usually I'd be coming in around 7:50 around 7. Yeah, 7:50 around there. >> So, a little bit later. Did you find like that extra time? >> Yeah, I'm actually much more awake during my first period class. I I won't be drizzling. I don't do off at all. So, and I also noticed a lot of the students do come in around that time, too. I don't see too many tardiness. And if it is, it's usually like the same students for recurring. And I find that in my first period classes as well because I have the I guess their harder classes in the morning, I have physics or calculus and students typically do answer questions more often and they pay much more attention. >> So you think they're more alert because >> yes, >> they are

041getting a little bit more sleep in the morning. >> And you did you get to take advantage of this at all throughout the year, Bri? Um, well, I'm into AP sciences, so I have to come in both days for that we offer it for the extra like lab periods that we get. So, I wasn't able to use that, but I think it's really great that we have this and we don't have to push the end of the day back because I think when you start pushing the end of the day back, that's when you like run into issues with like sports because especially if the schools around us aren't on the same like push back, then you're missing more class for busing and to get to those games and stuff like that. But you both

042felt like your peers like appreciated this extra time. >> It's definitely been wellreceived and utilized a lot. >> Great. That's great to hear. Well, thank you. Um I did have comments, but did anybody else have any comments this evening? Well, I just wanted to um this week we know it's teacher appreciation week. So this week we do celebrate the incredible teachers who shape the minds, inspire curiosity, and make a lasting impact every single day for our students. So thank you for your dedication, patience, and passion. Your work does not go unnoticed. You're truly making a difference in the lives of our students and our community. So happy teacher appreciation week to all of our teachers and teaching staff. So, thank you so much. Um, and I also just want to give a shout out to

043the musical. The se not seventh any sixth grade musical was this past weekend and it was amazing. It was actually High School Musical and it was it was wonderful. So, great performance by our sixth graders. Any other comments? All right. Then do I have a motion to adjurnn? >> So moved. Second.
