Hein Andover Marvel community engagement in attendance at board public meetings is welcomed. The public comment segment of the meeting agenda is set aside so the board may receive public comments. Procedurally public remarks will be limited to three minutes and citizens will be asked to identify themselves. Because the board is limited by the Freedom of Information Act to discussing only matters on the agenda. The board is not permitted to engage in a discussion of the comments presented. Is there anybody that would like to make public comments? Uh Kim Ga Kim Ka Gain Hein. I want to introduce myself as the new REA president. I want
003to thank Ethan Spanelli for his great job representing us for the past eight years and I look forward to working with you uh to continue to do what's best for RAM and for the talented teachers who work here. I just wanted you to be able to put a face in the name. >> Thank you. >> Welcome. >> Hi, I'm Jessica Hall from Hebra and Amston. actually uh I was the teacher here earlier in the year that works in Colombia that was hoping you'd welcome Colombia students. So, thank you very very much. I know there's not many this year, but I think you're going to see an increase each year as the families get to know this community. So, I appreciate you moving forward with that. I also just want to let you know that I
004will be running to join your board event this fall. So, I'm very hopeful that I might be able to participate in the great work that you do supporting this learning community. Thank you. Thank you. >> Thank you. Welcome. Is there anybody online who would like to make public comment? Okay. All good. All right. Um brings us to the uh board of ed chair report. Um there's not a lot this this week. Just welcoming everybody back to the school year. Um I walk every day around the building and it's just fun to see it get busier and busier. Um, looking forward to the convocation which is next Wednesday. I'm sure you're Monday. >> Monday. Sorry. I'll be there. I promise. Um, if your schedule permits, um, I've only been able to go one time and it
005was great. Um, but if your schedule permits, um, Colin can share the information for it and we would love to have you there. >> Yeah. What time is >> N >> in the morning? >> Yep. >> Oh, I was thinking at night for some reason. 9's great. >> There'll be a light crowd. >> Yeah. And honestly, that's um really all I have for for this month, >> Colin. >> So, uh yeah, welcome back everybody. It's hard to believe we've been off for two months. Um I I sent my uh my welcome back letter to staff just last week and I said to them that I it's it's always with mixed emotions that I send this letter out because I'm very excited for the start of the school year, but I do love the summertime and
006um the relaxing pace that comes with it. But uh but we're very excited about convocation on Monday. Certainly uh excited about students returning um to school next Thursday. Uh we have welcomed a variety of staff members, new staff members to the district. We have certified staff, non-certified staff. We were able to identify and hire an athletic uh trainer, which um you know is something that I appreciate the board support of. We have hired four safety officers which again I appreciate the board's uh support of that. One of them uh good to see you Tim. Thanks for coming. Um and uh yeah, we actually met with the safety officers last week. We had a full day with them, the administrators and I met with them and just again I think it's going to be a really
007positive uh change for for the district and and people will feel better uh about knowing that their presence is here. Um we have new teacher orientation on Wednesday and Thursday this week um where we will uh welcome the uh new certified staff members on board and I look forward to uh seeing them on Wednesday and Thursday when school kicks off. How many people? >> Uh not many. Um we have uh fiveish, sixish. Three of them are one-year positions because we actually had some people going out on leave. Um so I I can get the specific information. Yeah, it's it's not it's not very many. And actually one of the positions I think the board knows this that was vacated by um a special ed teacher actually is uh back now with us as a as
008a member of the administrative team. And today was her first official day. So, it's always good to see people um wanting to stay uh stay a part of the Ram community. Um I want to uh make note of a couple of things. You know, Heather talked about the busyiness of things during the summer. It the parking lots are definitely emptier, but that does not mean that there is a lack of work going on here. Um I always say that um the our facilities, custodial, maintenance staff, uh it is their the summertime is an absolutely crazy time of the year for them. The amount of work that they do is tremendous. And you know, I constantly am hearing compliments by so many people who come to visit the Ram community, colleagues of mine, uh, you know,
009people from other school districts that come to visit for one reason or another, and they're just always amazed at, you know, the condition of the of the buildings and and really that's a testament to to motherishly, our facility staff and maintenance staff and custodial staff. They do a phenomenal job and I know that they're actually ready for the summer to be over with so that they could actually slow their pace down a bit. Um, you're going to be provided with a a highle overview about our summer projects and and summer work that is done by um, you know, the summer work done by our custodial maintenance staff and then the summer projects that um, you know, Michael works collaboratively with contractors to make sure get accomplished. So that will be later on in the agenda,
010but I again I appreciate all the work that they do. Uh similarly just want to thank the you know our non-certified 12 month staff. Um I can't tell you that after you know 25 years as a as a school and district administrator people are surprised that I work during the summer. Like I get that all. What do you mean you're worked during the summer? I thought you worked in education. Yeah. A lot of us work during the summer. So um you know there's so much behind the scenes work that is done by our non-certified uh clerical secretarial staff. Uh obviously our custodians which I've already mentioned them. our administrative team, our department coordinators come in and plan things like convocation and and uh new teacher orientation. So, just all the work that happens during the
011summer. I just again I'm very very appreciative of of the things that people do. Um an exciting thing Heather mentioned walking in the morning, one of the things that she'll when we speak it's always track looks great. Track looks great. If you haven't had a chance when you go outside you should take a look. They've put down the asphalt. Um that's that's definitely been the biggest project this summer. They've laid the asphalt um the base. So that's done. It needs to cure I believe for 28 days um or somewhere in that neighborhood and then they can put down the rubberized surface. Then they have that sets relatively quickly. Then they go through the process of painting and whatnot. Um, we had a meeting, Eva, Michael Schlayoff, and myself had a had a meeting with the
012contractor that's overseeing the project and and we are keeping our fingers crossed that the weather will be agreeable and and if it is uh and we can stay uh stay in the timeline that we're on, um our students will be able to access that um the field uh right around the end of September, beginning of of October. So, had to do a little bit of rescheduling for some of our um our late September athletic contests that were scheduled to be on those field on that field. but um it's keeping our new athletic director Michelle Landry busy doing that. But um again, we're super excited about that project uh coming to fruition. So, >> so I did notice on social media that people were like, "So, can we use the track again? You might want to
013put another little article um in the river east." >> Sure. >> And just kind of explain to people although it looks like it's done. I mean, the carrying thing for 28 days. I didn't know that >> they they they can I mean it's it's like a driveway. We don't I'm not promoting anybody use it, but I mean it it can't be heavy traffic. You know, we can't have trucks on it. So, that's one of the things it has to set for 28 days. Um but again, you know, our the contractors that are doing work there, they certainly are stepping up time. But you're right. I can I can get a reminder out. We can push >> They're already looking at it. >> Oh, yeah. I pulled in. I walked I walked the track. So, and
014I was talking to Mike about I don't know what what what's supposed to be on there because I figured they weren't running on the driveway, right? >> Uh and there were people >> Oh, yeah. >> on it. So, you know, >> riveries >> and I broke through, but the lawn mower drove across it, so I figured I couldn't hurt it. >> Well, I appreciate I'll definitely get a reminder out. We'll push a message out to the entire community. >> My rubber sneakers. Don't be drunk. >> Don't be drunk. >> It's the oils that are coming out of the asphalt that need to dry up. That's basically what's happening. So, you're getting lots of oil on your shoes. >> Oh, they look okay. I think they're all right. >> Okay. So, that brings us to item
015seven, the consent agenda. There are three items in your packet, 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3, which are the meeting minutes from June 9th, June 25th special meeting, and August 6th special meeting. Um, do we have um a motion to approve the consent agenda? >> So move. >> That's um Mike Sharon. >> Second is Mike Bolier. >> Yeah. >> Any discussion on the minutes? Okay. Um, all in favor? >> Anyone opposed? And anyone abstain? Okay. All right. So that brings us to new and unfinished business. The discussion and possible action of proposed text book for CCSU early childhood ECE class at Ram High School. It's enclosure 8.1 in your package. Um >> yeah, I could so you know this this was something that was brought up at the uh last special meeting that we had earlier this
016month. Um, as I explained to the board members who were present at that meeting, the textbook adoption process is very similar to essentially the process for um, updating um, policies or um, adopting policies where it comes to the board not as a first read, but it's presented to the board at a meeting um, and then there has to be uh, basically the board has the ability after it's presented um, to to adopt the the book for use at the next meeting. Um, and so my recommendation is to adopt the textbook. It is uh just again a reminder it is a required textbook that is used by Central Connecticut State University. Um we unfortunately didn't know have the title until um right before we had our special meeting. We took it to the program subcommittee. Um
017had an opportunity to answer any questions they may have. Did a special meeting. Nobody reached out to me with questions or concerns. So my recommendation is to uh use the motion that is in your board not to. >> Okay. Do we have a motion to approve the use of the book Beginnings and Beyond: Foundations and Early Childhood Education for Use at Ram High School? >> So moved. >> Scott Soyette. Second. >> I'll second. >> Drew Gin. >> It's been a long time. >> Um, any other discussion on the textbook? And I think you have it. >> I do. Yeah. I I It's been available in my office, but you know, the light and show it up. It's uh anybody wants to see it. Audrey. >> Jesus. >> Thanks, Eric. >> Um, okay. All in favor?
018>> I. >> Anyone opposed? Anyone abstain? Okay. >> 10page table of contents. >> Yeah. >> All right. Discussion of possible action regarding a change in date for the January 2026 board of education meeting in closure. It's enclosure 8.2 in your packet. You want >> Yeah. So, um, one of the, um, one of the memos 8.2 in your packet is a memo that I wrote to the board. It explains that we discovered, um, even I were looking at the um the board meeting schedule for the the ones that are currently scheduled and uh, we I realized and brought it to Eve and I said, "We can't have a meeting in January 12th for the presentation of the budget." and she said, "No, we cannot." In order for us to have adequate time to put together and
019and and present the budget to the board of education, we really need to move the scheduled one, I think, which is June 10, I'm sorry, January 12th to January 26. So, um, I'm asking the board to consider voting to change the date of that regularly scheduled meeting. >> Okay. So, do we have a motion to change the scheduled board of education meeting from January 12th, 2026 to January 26, 2026? >> Mike Bolier. Second >> first Gabe Marks is second. Any other discussion on that? All in favor? >> I opposed. Anyone abstain? >> Okay. Um item 8.3, summer facilities projects update. >> Yes. So 8.3 is a memo from Michael Schladehoffer which does provide that overview of the projects that um taken on over the summer as well as the routine summer work uh that keeps
020our facility staff so busy as I mentioned earlier. Um I think Michael should be on I see his name. So Michael actually is going to take over and just be able to kind of summarize some of the information that's provided in the memo and I know that there might be some questions because there's some uh abbreviations and acronyms used in there. So >> good evening. Um, so I just want to touch base on the capital projects first. Um, obviously the the construction of the new athletic track. Um, currently we're doing a 28 day rest period of the asphalt to let the oils um seep out of it and evaporate before they'll um put down the membrane, which is the rubberized um membrane that the students would run on, and then paint the lines. Um anticipation
021is about the third week in August pending weather that um it would be turned over to the district. Um >> uh talking with um with Eva um regarding the usage of the track. I know you had mentioned that maybe Colin was going to send something out and communicate with the the families, but Andy from the town also sends out like a Friday update to the town people and maybe including something in his he could put something in there for it >> to um advise them to stay off of it until >> until it's fully operational and turned over to us. Um this week they're going to start putting the fencing in, core drilling the the holes for it and putting the sleeves in. Um putting the chain link fence around, which will help with the
022situation. Um score install the scoreboard footings, put that in. Um that's all going on while the 28 days is still waiting um for completion. Um we had about $40,000 budgeted for concrete sidewalk repairs. Um to date those have been completed. Uh I did a walk through of the middle school lower ADA access project meeting with um the engineer. We're going to create a punch list. There's a few things that we still feel that needs to be addressed that were part of the scope that are either inaccurate or um again need to be addressed. So um that pretty much sums up the the capital projects. We also had um which is not on this. We had an indoor air quality project that we um we took on and it was used with grant fund grant funding
023to cover the cost and to date I would say 80 80% of it is done. Um, a lot of 20% left is behind the scenes programming. Um, so that shouldn't affect anything as far as, you know, the kids coming back to school and and um that. Um, so this is probably like one of the first summers I've actually been fully staffed um both with the summer help and custodians. So, it was definitely a huge help to take on a lot of extra little projects throughout the building. But just to summarize on some of the um the things that the custodians, the maintainers handled, um they high dust and low dust classrooms and common areas. Um they washed windows that they were able to access. Um, all the furniture was pulled out, student desks and chairs
024wiped down, cafeteria tables, lab tables, etc. Um, they cleaned 12 the stairwells top to bottom. We sealed all the rubber with a conditioner to preserve the stair treads. We shampooed all the carpets throughout the building. Um, all 62 bathrooms were detailed and disinfected. Um, we tested all the GFIs and tripped them for safety. Um, we also did a walkthrough of all the lighting and addressed um, lights that were out. We also advanced 800 locker combos in the middle school to the next um, the next combination set for the kids coming in. Uh we washed and waxed over 3,000 square feet of VCT, which is vinyl competition tile. And then sheet goods is referred to like your vinyl sheet goods um which is like in the atrium of the high school. We um we painted the
025stage floor and the locker rooms in both buildings and then we also painted classrooms and hallways on an ad as needed basis. Um both gym floors were refinished the second week in um August. They were closed for about a week and that's been completed. Um there was 143 classroom condition reports that the maintainers went through. It's kind of like a punch list from the teachers on things that they need addressed, wants, needs um for their rooms. And then we also had a bunch of inspections um such as like the sprinkler testing, the annual test. We had a five-year tank inspection for the sprinkler system, which they had to drain the 30,000 gallons of water out, go into the tank, check the inside of the tank, and then refill it. Um, we also had the fire
026system inspected, fire curtain, fire extinguishers, the fire doors. Um, all the operational walls like the portable walls that move. Um, garage doors, the gates, they were all inspected. The annual bleacher review was was in was done in inspection. Uh, the kitchen hoods uh were cleaned and were also inspected. Fume hoods for the science departments were inspected. Uh we also inspected all the paint booths, changed the filters. Uh the grease trap for the kitchen and then um the acid tank for the science department in the middle school was also changed out. And with that, I would take any questions if anybody has any. >> Mike, this is Mike Sharon. I have a couple questions for you. >> Sure. >> Um, last time I think we met, we talked about the excess material storage. I drove past
027the school the other day. I noticed that that was appears to be in place. Is that true? >> That is in place and completed. >> Excellent. We have another step, right? We got to put up a fence at some point. >> No. The the >> pretty enough. >> Yeah. The shrubage that they said that that was sufficient. >> Perfect. And then the other thing I wanted to ask you about was the sheds, right? We had uh talked about buying and purchasing some sheds for I think three different locations on siteful as well. >> Yes. So the the three sheds were um purchased and installed and the three um units that were there were demolished and removed. >> All right. Long list. >> Thank you. >> No problem. >> The loading dock is for next year.
028>> Yeah. Yeah. there. It's in rough shape. Ideally, we need to tackle that project. >> Yeah. But we need to do it out of school year time or can we do it during school year? >> Uh we can't do it during school year. >> Yeah, because that's that's where we get delivered. >> Yeah, that's what I figured. >> That's great, Mike. Thank you. >> No problem. Thank you. >> All right. The um 8.4 is the draft subcommittee meeting calendar for 2025 2026. It's enclosure 8.4 in your packet. >> So, you know, we we followed a a relatively similar format to what we've done, which is, you know, trying to space the meetings out every, you know, four to six four to five weeks. Um, tried to look at when we would need to meet with
029different committees at different times in order for like budget preparation. Um, and so the draft calendar is there. Um, they're coming up quick. We're looking at policy uh policy subcommittee and potentially program you know within a couple of weeks. So um and then obviously facilities and finance as well. Um if there's anybody that sees anything that is concerning um we can certainly uh you know make adjustments but otherwise there's a a recommended motion in your packet to adopt this uh this schedule. >> Okay. Do we have a motion to approve the 2025 2026 subcommittee meeting calendar? >> So moved. Mike Sharon. A second. >> Make the second. >> Amy Romanuk. Any other discussion on the calendar? >> All in favor? >> I Anyone opposed? Anyone abstain? Okay. Uh that brings us to the personnel report.
030It's enclosure 8.5. Sorry. >> So just two resignations since our last meeting. Um, uh, Emily Queen, who was a math teacher at Ram High School, resigned effective July 10th, 2025. She had been employed with, uh, with the district since, um, April 2021. And Kristen Brewer, people services supervisor for the district, has resigned effective, uh, July 18th, 2025. She had been employed with the district since August of 2011. And uh, certainly wish Emily the best with her growing family and wish Kristen the best with her with her new administrative position in another district. Okay. Um, that will bring us to 8.6, which is the financials. All right. So, 8.6A in your packet has the year-end unodudited financials for fiscal year 2425. Um, so based on the information that I have at hand, there's a projected net
031favorable position of 1 1,249,546. We have to take away any shortfall in revenue, which was $192,81, leaving a revised net favorable net position of 1,57,365. So what how we got to those available funds is your unallocated personnel. So to clean up the accounts, any available funds for benefits and salaries is rolled into unallocated personnel. So you have $472,551. your special ed out of district transportation had 119,661 and your private tuition for special ed had um available of $90,138. That's those are the largest chunks. The rest is um and a lot of it was because of positive changes for our students in terms of we either brought them back or they took their diploma or um they moved out of district. So that helped um contain what we expended during the year. Um the main driver
032for the projected shortfall in revenue was the movement again in the high-cost special ed students, the rentals, the gate receipts, Medicaid and student parking. We did see an increase in tuition. We brought in two um tuition students from two other districts. Um and then we also had um our rate funding. um we got a little bit more than was anticipated for the projects that we were doing. So based upon the net favorable position um the district will be able to keep 2% or 640,323. Um again this will all be done during the audit time period to ensure that all the calculations are accurate and no other adjustments need to be made. Um and so we're projecting to give back as credit offsets to the town during the 2627 budget uh $417,042. So hopefully the towns
033will be happy with that. The capital improvement fund um based on the date that I done this everything had already rolled forward to the 26 year 25 26 year. So um there is an uncommitted of $90,44. This is part of the track project and the incumbrance was in the current year that we'll report on next month. Um the BOE reserve for general education fund also has is reflecting an uncommitted amount of $48,531 but this is also part of um the repair to field. So, we moved or chose to the board chose to put all the money towards the track this year. So, that that 48,000 was left from um unexpended um field repairs that we didn't get to. So, I'm assuming eventually we'll go back to that unless the board chooses to change the money
034and put it in a different allocation. So, are there any questions that the board may have based on what I presented? when the audit starts. Is that October? >> It's already started in May. >> So, yeah, this 90,000. So, >> yes, >> It's for the track. So, >> it's from money from last year's budget, >> right? >> So, there was a purchase order sitting then. I had to close the purchase order. So, that freed up the money. So it looks like there's money available, but there isn't because it's in this year's. >> It's in the 2526 year. >> So it's incumbring 2526. >> These these funds roll forward. >> So So essentially our budget has gone up by 90,000 because we'll spend that amount. >> Not going to go up. It's the same amount of
035money. It's been sitting there. It just rolls forward. Yeah, but I'm just wondering how it gets I'm trying to figure out this 90,000 gets spent in the 2526 year but out of >> same funds >> the same funds that already was there. So there's Does it show up though as a part of this favorable? >> It's not part of that at all. It's capital improvement. So it's a >> separate from these. Okay. >> Yeah. Just trying to keep the duck. >> Are there any other questions? >> So, hearing none, we have the student activity. And um so since I have to apologize, I had a severe migraine. I haven't had a migraine in quite some time. And this one was a doozy. So I I did some oopsie boos this time around. So, um, I
036was, um, working on I had printed off. I had everything all set. I went to go print it again and, um, chose, you know, most simplest thing to put in the fund. I forgot to put in the fund. So, you got 74 million when you really shouldn't have had 74 million. >> Nice. >> It was a nice, but thank you for catching that is um, >> I think the students be $74 million to spend on activities. >> Not at all. Um, so again, it all balances with um the the bank. So that that's 100%. It does balance with the bank. So are there any questions that the board may have on that? >> Okay. So hearing none. >> Is there a finder sheet or you know% or something in that >> 74 million that doesn't
037exist? >> Loser sheet. >> That's a gold star for you. >> Um, so moving on. So 8.6 6C is the um unudited uh food service monthly end report. And so this is the year end. And again, apparently I had a typo on this one as well. So we ended the year with $39,183.37 as compared to last year we were at $39,573.98. So we were we're in the we're in the ballpark of where we've been ending up hopefully moving forward. we will see positives and um as opposed to losses. So um and starting this school year there will be no more um subsidies I guess from the state of Connecticut. Um so they were doing a straw program. They were feeding breakfast and paying us more money for breakfast. We're going back to normal operations for
038a national school lunch program and school breakfast program. >> So does that mean we're still we're not cutting back the program? Just the money is coming from the state. Okay. >> So, are there any other questions? >> This this is this year is the new vendor, right? >> Correct. >> And that's working with Marro as well. >> Correct. >> Yes. So, you'll see definitely different numbers than you have seen in the past when because we'll be adding Marles to our report. >> Okay. So, hearing no more questions. Um, moving on to 8.6D, 6D, which is the short-term investment fund account. So, in June of 2025, we reinvested $1,92849. Um, July and August, I will review when we come back in September because it just makes sense to keep the fiscal years on the same same
039pattern. Um, are there any questions that the board may have on that? Okay. So, hearing none, these are the so 8.6 6E of your packet has the year-end transfers that I had to do and the 435,000 is part of the non-utilization of funds that moved up into the unallocated um personnel. So, um if there are any questions on this before the board um chooses to make a motion, I will gladly assist in trying to answer. just happen to like the number of country 237 1111.11. >> Yeah. Oh, so that that I have too. So here you go. So in re in review, I like to tattle on myself, so I'm not used to having company, but we um I tattle on myself all the time. So this actually showed up at the board meeting um
040last month except I named it entry 238 instead of 237. So to cover myself and make sure that we have an approval for it, I put it on this month as well. But yes, isn't that a lovely number? Any other comments on that? Okay. Do we have a um a motion to approve the transfers in the amount of 519,87084 cents? >> So moved. >> Drew Goffin first. Second is Scott Soyette. Any other discussion on that? >> All in favor? >> I. >> Anyone opposed? Anyone abstain? Okay, >> thank you. >> Colin brings us to the calendar of events. >> Yeah. So, well, you know, talked about some big ones coming up with convocation obviously next Monday, first day of school on um the 28th or next Thursday. Um then we'll go into Labor Day weekend.
041So, it's kind of nice. Everybody likes to start with a two-day work week and then go into a long weekend. It's a it's it's a good way of easing our toes into the water. Um, but you know, we've got open house coming up at the high school. We've actually had some events already at the middle school. We've had students walk we have walkaround days. Uh, that that was uh last week we had a walkound day. There's another walkaround day coming. That's just an opportunity for students new to the middle school or even if they're eighth graders coming back and just familiarizing themselves with the territory. And um uh so yeah, it's a we're we're excited to get everybody in and get things up and going. Sports have already started, practices. It's It's kicking in gear.
042>> Are they using the field between, >> you know, in the track? No, that's being left. >> Yep. It's Yeah, we don't want any any bad things. >> Too much of an investment to have anything go wrong. >> Okay. Student discipline report. >> Uh, so again, th this it's been updated to have information from June. So you have not only from June but you also have the totals for each of the years for number of inschool suspensions as well as the out of school suspensions both schools. >> All right.
