001I'd like to call to order the Brownsburg Community School Corporation Board of Trustees regular meeting March 10, 2025. Please stand and join me for the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all. Now please join me for a moment of reflection. Thank you. Accommodation, BHS Wrestling State Champions, Ms. Murphy. Thank you very much. I'm super excited to welcome this bunch right here. I bring the best parties, don't I, to the school board meeting. Our state champion wrestlers are here, the whole team and also the individual state champions. So one at a time, we're going to bring them up here. Senior Mason Day, who is fourth at 157 pounds. Senior Maximus

002Forrester, who is third at 285 pounds. Just come on up here and stand, fellas. Kayden Brewer was third at 215, but he is on a college visit, so he's not here right now. Braylon Reynolds, sophomore at 138, was second place at state. I'd also like to call up Gunnar Henry, who was your state champ at 190. He's a senior. I want to bring up Jake Hockaday, who's also a senior, a four-time state champion at 132. Parker Reynolds, state champion at 150. Tommy Gibbs, state champion at 144. Revin Dickman, state champion at 120, a three-time state champ. Case Bell found the place. He was your state champ at 113 pounds as a freshman. And Trayvon Ducking was your state champ at 106 pounds. We'd also like to call up the rest of the team, not quite

003state champions individually, but part of the state championship team. So come on up, fellas, and you join them as well. I also would like to recognize Coach Derek Snyder. Coach Brian Smiley, come on up. Kyle Ersman is doing duties at an HCC banquet, right? Yes, so we'd like to have him here as well. And Coach Snyder, recognize the rest of your coaching staff and bring them up. Okay, I'll use it. I want to say thanks to my coaching staff. I had to miss some time this year because of my stupid knee. Really focused group. They continue to get better. Very thankful for my coaching staff. Let me know if I missed somebody that's out there. We've got Coach Skipper. Coach Skipper, get up here. Coach Skipper is one of the assistant coaches, also a physical

004therapist. So all of his coaching practices start off with him giving 45 minutes of free physical therapy to our wrestlers. Coach Brown joined us this year, and Coach Lynn, who we like to call the heavyweight whisperer. And I think that's all my coaches. And there's several others. Very thankful for them. All right. Now, our seniors, raise your hand. So I'm going to start with the seniors. Tell us your plans and who is here with you. My plans are to wrestle in college, and my mom and dad are here. My plans to wrestle in college. I'm not a senior. My plans are to wrestle in college, and Coach Skipper is here with me. And you have plans. Do you know where you're going to wrestle in college? Undecided yet, and you know? Wyoming University. My plans

005are to wrestle at Nebraska, and my parents are here with me. Awesome. And last senior. Okay. No, you're senior? No, no, no. I was just like, wait a second, wait a second, wait a second. Anybody else want to introduce their family who's here? Raise your hand. Anybody else's family here with them? Yeah, go ahead. My older brother, Trey Reynolds, is here. Awesome. So, Coach, what can you say about these guys and what they went through this year? I would just say it's the most focused group I've ever had. We've talked about it for a couple years. Even last year before we pulled the upset to win state, we told them that that team would be talked about for decades just because of the way they conducted themselves, the way they trained. I mean, I feel

006like we won all those matches and we were the better wrestlers. You just never do that. Guys have bad matches. They get caught. And it was one heck of a season, but one heck of a finish to the season. So talk about the records that these guys broke and what do you think it's going to take to break those? We really don't talk about breaking records. Leading up to a tournament, we'll talk about, you know, Ironman or Fargo or Vegas or something, but we really do just focus on getting better each practice. But as far as records they broke. I think we put the most guys ever into the semifinals. I don't know what the record was before that, but nobody's put 11 before. And then eight in the finals is a record. Seven champs

007ties a record, but does it really? In 1949, there were like 50 schools in the state that wrestled. So in the modern era, I think like four is a ridiculous number of state champions. I've never had more than three. But we went seven for eight, and everyone knows we really went eight for eight. It was cool to walk out of there with so many guys accomplished on their goal. Normally you leave and you're really happy for a couple guys, and then your heart's broken for like eight others. And it always makes me think, like, why do I do this? Years don't usually end like ours did. So it was a fun end of the year. State points record shattered it. It'd be great if we beat that, but we're not going to talk about that.

008We're just going to focus on getting better this offseason, and then we'll see where that takes us next year. What does an offseason look like for wrestlers? Because I ran into you at lunch the other day, and you said, well, we've got a tournament this weekend. So is there such a thing as an offseason? We give them a week off, but most of them don't take it. Most of those guys were at their academy. They're really close to their academy coaches, and there's... Guys from all kinds of different schools or they haven't been able to train with for a few months So I I take a week off I recommend to them that they take a week off a lot of them I mean Jake probably started that Sunday. Did you work out in your

009barn? Yes, he did. Most of them probably went to an academy practice on Monday. But then we go just a couple times a week so that they can attend their academies. And last weekend, there's all kinds of off-season fake state tournaments. But we went to one of those. We were hosting a clinic this Saturday. And then I don't know if about seven or eight of them are going to go compete at the U.S. Open in Vegas. So we will pretty much. until like a week before school. Then they get like another week off, which most of them won't take. Cool, cool. Well, listen, the seniors, a couple of things. Mason, you've been in Brownsburg since you were in first grade, since you were in kindergarten. So what has it been like wrestling here after you've

010been here so long? I mean, I don't know. I've known Snyder since I came and everybody. So it just feels normal. Where? No, I didn't move. But yeah. Yeah, it's just, it feels normal. And also, Tommy, you've been here for a long time, right? So how does it feel representing the town that you've been? It feels really good. It's an honor. Jake, four-time state champion. That's pretty cool. And you've broken a lot of records here, too. How do you feel about leaving? You've kind of been a mainstay here in this program. And what's, I mean, a couple of leaders, senior leaders on this team, what do you look at the leadership, what's the leadership going to be like after you guys leave? It's sad, but I'm excited to go to Nebraska. I'm just ready to

011get in that college room. So, I mean, it's also fun. It's going to be fun. I think our leadership is good, but I'm not nervous at all or anything because I know these guys that are stepping up will do a great job. So I'm not nervous at all for them. That's awesome. Well, we're very, very proud of you, and the board would like to commend our state champions and the entire team. So as I announce the state champions, you can come forward and get your certificate, Trayvon Ducking, at 106. Go straight over there, bud. Oh, I think I just went the opposite is what I was supposed to. I just did the opposite I was supposed to do. Sorry. Go with Case Bell. Next. Case Bell at 113. Revan Dickman at 120. Jake Hockaday at

012132. Tommy Gibbs at 144. Thought I had a plan. Sorry. It's my fault. It is a good problem to have that you have so many state champions that you're mixing up their certificates. Parker Reynolds at 150. And Parker, I think that Dr. Jessup wants to know if you finally got to watch that wrestling siglet. Did you finally get to wash your... No? Are you going to save it? It's in a room. It's in a room. He wants to frame it. That's a good idea. Gunner Henry at 190. Braylon Reynolds at 138. We'll give you Caden Brewers. Maximus Forrester. You guys can grab the... Maximus, you can grab the certificate for the whole team up there, I think. Do we have more? What did I get? Mason Day still needs his. And Trayvon Ducking. And then

013also we have a certificate for the whole team of state champions. You guys made history, but we know that you're not done. We can't imagine. what the future holds for all of you. Thank you for the whole team for being here. And thanks for the families. We'll have them stay up here and get a picture. Anything you want to say for the families that are here? Because you don't get a chance to talk to them. Well, you do, but I mean. Yeah, just thankful to be their head coach and really proud of them. And as the parents know, like there was a lot of work that went into this. It wasn't just a season. This is something that these guys have been training for for years. And it's a pleasure being their coach and just

014watching them. go to work in their preparation and their focus and everything they do it's a really special group we said all year long like nobody else has what we have in that room and we show that individual state awesome you guys get together so I can take a picture sure good at that I will we're not gonna we're not gonna be the picture this is the one that Hayden here I'll go get this Thank you.

This evening, just really one topic of conversation, including a video, but it is on our Indiana State Police bus inspections.

017And so every year, BCSC has to go through, or all corporations in the state of Indiana have to go through a bus inspection with the Indiana State Police, and we finished ours last month. We are actually a little bit different process this year. Hendricks County was moved into a different district. We were assigned a new inspector who showed up. and forgot to tell us he was coming so when i say this was a complete blind inspection showing up and asking for 15 buses it was that's what it was so um and and we had very highly successful process with this now the typically they would come in and kind of run through all all buses kind of at one time Bring a large group this time they brought a very small group and we're really

018only doing about 15 to 20 buses per week and then Continue to work down the fleet until all that is all the buses have been inspected They started 115 wrapped up on in February 12th So again very very it's a lot of work on the entire driving staff transportation staff But it's certainly something that we welcome because it does We're able to find a few things here and there to ensure that our buses are as safe as possible And so I we always talk about inspections The Indiana State Police actually put together a video that I wanted to share with you. And there's a special reason. One, to give you additional information on what takes place over an inspection. Nick will use this video as training for the bus drivers because they are also involved.

019But also, with our new transportation facility services building, Indiana State Police selected us as the model to make this video. So pretty neat that we attracted the attention there of some different folks. So I'll go ahead and hit play. All buses in Indiana are required to go through an annual inspection by certified state school bus inspectors. Every school bus has to go through the inspection on an annual basis. Any bus that's 12 years or older must go through every six months. So every bus that a child rides on in Indiana gets inspected by one of us once, if not twice, every year. This video is going to be geared toward a school bus driver going through an inspection for the first time. This video is just simply going to lay out the inspection process. and

020what a new driver needs to know going through an inspection. Realize the bus you're bringing through inspection may not be the bus or style of bus you're used to driving. Please take time prior to bringing it through inspection to familiarize yourself with the bus controls and how to properly operate lights and switches. The bus should also be clean and free of debris and loose items. The inspection will start with an exterior exam of the lights. As the bus driver gets to the inspection point, we will instruct the driver to release the parking brake after we set the wheel chocks. We will then go to the back of the bus and the driver brake, hold, and put the vehicle in reverse to check reverse lamps. After reverse lamps, the driver will be instructed to turn the

021ignition off, turn the key back on without starting the engine, and activate all running lights. From here, we'll proceed to check the turn signals, hazard lights, overhead amber lights, and stop arm lights. We will also check the headlights, high beams, as well as the horn and wiper and washer system for functionality. The driver will be given clear instructions that we're about to go under the bus, and the only things they will be asked to do is to rock the steering and to brake and hold, and then release. when the inspector goes under the bus and we ask you to start rocking the steering, rock it side to side. This is not a full turn side to side, but rather keeping your hands on the wheel and jostling it back and forth. Continue to rock it

022until you hear the inspector say stop or it gives you instructions to brake. The driver will be told to brake and hold. When this is done, the driver should press the brake firmly to the floor and hold it there until told to release. This is imperative because the braking components can be dangerous as our hands will be near these components. An injury could be caused if the brake is released while we're examining a portion of the braking system. After examining everything under the bus, we will move to the inside. Onside the bus, we'll ask the driver to turn on all dome lights, all fans, heaters. And once all those are activated, we will have the bus driver push the noise suppression switch to ensure all systems are quieted. The big key takeaways is be familiar

023with the bus you're driving. If it's not the bus you're used to, we understand it. Just become familiar with those controls prior to getting here. When you're at a place like Indy or maybe up near the Lowell District where you have more than one driver, you might have a trooper that's under the bus doing the inspection as well as one inside. Keep in mind that that trooper underneath should have your full attention. He's the one that's going to be in the most danger if you're not listening to something. And likewise, never start the bus when somebody's underneath it. All too often we have drivers that want to start the bus because that'll solve an alarm that's going off or whatever might be the case. avoid doing that just to keep us safe as well. So

024again, just kind of a neat A that they selected Brownsburg to kind of create that video, but also I think it provides some clarity to the process and also I think a sense of security that these buses go through quite the inspection every single year to ensure that they are safe for our students. So in this most recent inspection, Brownsburg had a success. Or they call it passing rate and a passing rate is essentially number of buses if there was one mark given on a bus that can that's considered a fail no matter how big or small so we were 97% so that means out of the 115 you had several it's called 112 because there's only three on here that were at the that passed with all inspection points we did have three we

025had bus 26 the and Kind of explain what our marks were is that turn stops not adjusted properly for enough clearance for the tires when turning. And so that is something underneath. It's just a quick adjustment. Bus 72, washer fluid did not work during time inspection. But I do want to note that it was negative four outside. And that might have had something to do with it. As soon as it warmed up, it worked just fine. And bus 85 during the inspection just had heater blower motor was inoperative. So again. All three of those we feel were minor concerns. We were able to fix them the same day that the police inspection took place. We got those buses back on the road that afternoon. And moving forward, actually, Indiana State Police asked if we would

026consider where they could bring all district buses here out of our region that are doing it because they liked our facility so much. The fact that we can drive buses straight through, get them out in a very routine fashion, sped that process up. So something Mr. Meyer, Rose, and I will continue to work on, but we're just thankful they, like I said, they like our facility. Glad that we can be of service, and happy that we're, you know, 97%, we're very, very pleased with that number. So happy to answer any questions you might have, but thought you'd like to learn a little more about bus inspection process today. Mr. Hecker, what's the average pass rate? in our area do you know it's a good question um we will share that it kind of varies year

027to year um i would say the more the more time that a district is given of the inspection process, the higher percentage that number is because you get a little bit extra time to get underneath there. 97 around here is would be, I would say high. I'm not fully aware of what all the other districts are, but I would say most of them fall in the low 90s. There are some that are in the high 80s and there are some that are in the high 90s too when we look across the state. We really pay attention to our county and the district. I think we were the first one in the county here for this recent year to have this number, so I don't have the new numbers offhand, but I do know we typically

028fall in the higher echelon. And that has a lot to do with we have worked hard with the bus replacement plan to kind of lower the age of our buses. And that has eliminated the need for us to constantly fix things that are broken and be much more on the proactive side. Not only has that saved us dollars in fixing buses. It's actually also saved us money in cost of mechanics. So there was a point in time we thought we're going to need to add another mechanic based on the fleet size, but because we've been able to keep the age of the bus down, we've been able to keep by with just five, even though that number has probably grown another 30 buses in the time that we've had five mechanics. So that has a

029lot to do with it. Our mechanics do a great job of being proactive and taking care of things before they become a problem, and that's really the main reason for that 97%. And obviously we want... All of the buses to be safe and functional. Is there a number that ISP puts on it that says it's acceptable? That's a good question. I've never asked. I've never asked that before. I do not know the answer to that. I do know we keep approximately 10 spare buses and fleets that in case there was something happened, we can get a new bus in and get it going. So that way we don't miss a beat. If, you know, we'd hate for a while. frozen washer fluid to be the reason why students would be home late but I do

030not know what that if there's a pass or no pass when it comes to the police inspection we just know what the report is given back to us yep first reading of the 2026-2027 school calendar Dr. Jessup Thank you. I wanted to present the draft of the 26-27 calendar. It is a similar calendar to what we've had the last few years with the three days the first week of school, the Thursday, or I'm sorry, the Wednesday out before Thanksgiving break, two weeks in the fall, two weeks at Christmas, two weeks at spring break. And so at this point, just this is the reading, and then I will ask for approval at the next meeting. But open to questions at this time. Thank you. Comments from patrons. Just a reminder, please state your full name, your

031street address, and you have three minutes to speak. We only have one tonight, Gary Sinclair. Thank you. Appreciate the opportunity. Gary Sinclair. I live at 1627 Beacon Point Boulevard. My wife and I have lived there. Here in Brownsburg for almost five years. We were in Avon for four years just before that big move. I want to do two things and it's gonna all be good. I want to first say thank you for what you do. We were both teachers for 12 and 15 years. respectively I was a counselor math teacher administrator did all that and we worked with people for the rest of our lives but we know that you that when you teach you make a difference and that was made very clear to us in a story that we got updated on from

032my wife's career many decades ago. I want to just share that with you. She had a little girl in her class, third grade, who had come from Korea. She had her for one semester. That was it. But this girl spoke very good English, but she didn't read or write very well. Unfortunately, no one told my wife that when she got into the class. One day they were doing a reading exercise, and she was going around the room. It was very simple, just to get the kids involved in a story. They came to her to read her little part. And she just stumbled her way through it. And the kids, boys especially, started making fun of her. And she was humiliated. So my wife said, why don't you go to the board and write some words

033in Korean? I said, oh, I can do that. So she goes to the board and starts writing these words. And the kids start saying, can you write my name? Yeah, sure. Can you write my dog's name? I mean, whatever. In about 30 minutes, she went from a fallen hero. to a superhero. Well, here's the rest of the story, as some of you remember Paul Harvey used to say. The rest of the story is this little girl left her class after one semester, and she went to a little school in the northeast called Harvard, got her PhD there in international education, and for the last 40 or so years, has taught education, and we lost track of her. We didn't even know where she was. She found us. We found her. And two years ago, I'll

034get emotional, we had dinner with her in Southern California. And she said, she said, Miss Sanders, now Mrs. Sinclair, she said, my semester with you is what I wrote my whole educational philosophy around. Because I learned from you so many things about what it means to teach. Well, I got thinking about that. And I actually, at the time I was writing a book, don't be impressed. I was writing a book about dominoes. And I realized that Mary Kay, I'll call her that because that was her name, was the first domino. My wife happened to topple, like in those displays. You know, you see them on YouTube. And she didn't impact just one or two people. She impacted thousands, and she still is. In fact, we had lunch with her a couple months ago again. I

035tell you that to encourage you as educators to say you do make a difference. And I know I've talked with teachers since who say, I'm thinking of getting out. I'm thinking of quitting. I don't know if this is making a difference anymore. It's getting so hard, it's getting so whatever. And so I've talked with a few of them, and I carry one of these with me everywhere I go now, and I've given them away. And I said, take this. You know, I know it's not perfect. I know things don't always work great. But don't forget, every day, one domino can turn into hundreds, thousands. I talk to people in the medical community, nurses and doctors, who say, do you know, you touch a first domino all the time. And so I just want to encourage

036you, encourage indirectly your team, maybe through some people here, to say don't give up. Don't quit. It's worth it. Think about being who's your first domino today, tonight, wherever. And so thank you for what you do. Tonight was a great example with the team of that you do a great job. But it goes way beyond where you go. I wrote a book. I told you it was in the process. I'm going to try to sell you one. I'm going to leave you one. I dedicated it to you. And if you don't mind, I'd like to give you all a domino to take with you. Now I'm going to sit down. Thank you. Thank you very much. Right. Consent items. Dr. Jessup. Thank you. With the consent items, I'm asking for approval of the minutes from

037the February 10th business meeting, February 10th executive session, the work session. approval of claims and the superintendent's report. Do I have a motion? All those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Questions, comments? Opposed, same sign. Motion passes. Thank you. Mrs. Heffernan. If I may, with that approval, we have just approved the principal of Brownsburg High School moving forward, Dr. Tom Balatevich. Dr. B, as he's commonly known at the high school, excited to welcome him to the team in a more permanent fashion than what he has been. We're happy to have you. Thank you. Old business. Second reading of the 25-26 student handbooks. Ms. Lippe. So I again just am presenting the student handbooks to you as a second read to be approved at the next board meeting during our third and final reading and

038to just give you a heads up that as the legislative session nears an end, they're more likely to see some some changes to bullying and so I'm sure this these student handbooks may come back your way in July for a special approval. Thank you. And I'm happy to answer any questions that you have. Questions? thank you new business recommendation to award construction contract contracts mr hacker thank you very much and as you find in the board packet we received bids on a re-roof project at east middle school if you drive by east you'll understand how big of a project that is a lot of shingles on that particular building very happy with the bids we had four different bids that came in. It was on Thursday, February 27th. We were working with our engineering group,

039a consultant called Attica, which essentially helps with identifying the entire scope and sequence of the project. They put all the documents together. They put the bid package together and then work directly with the contractors associated who come and bid. And so happy to report that what we thought would be about a $7 million project, bids came in. for their just under five million dollars so uh we walked out of here that day feeling high uh heads held high for sure um and so on top of the uh consulting fees we'll do that total project about 5.1 million again um and so when bids come come in favorably like that. One thing that we look at are other options. And so as we think for 25, some of the playgrounds that are going to be redone,

040we were able to throw crossroads in. Crossroads did not get the entire pour in place option. And so we're going to remove the rest of the remaining mulch and get the pour in place so it is fully accessible, just like our new playgrounds that we've renovated. So very thankful to also give that guidance tonight as well. But at this point in time, just asking for your approval of that particular contract. motion so move second all of them all those in favor signify by saying aye aye questions comments all those opposed same sign motion passes thank you recommendation to approve Brownsburg library board member dr. Jessup thank you the school board has the pleasure of appointing three people to the library board. One of the people that we had approved has unfortunately had to resign her

041position due to some family health issues. So we have, I have a name brought to you who has served as before. Ryan Tanzel has served as a board member and he has volunteered to go into that place again. So we're looking for approval at this time. So move. Second. Second. All those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Question, comments? All those opposed, same sign. Motion passes. Thank you. Superintendent comments. Thank you. Just two quick things. I had the pleasure about two weeks ago to spend a day out in Glenwood, Illinois, Glenwood High School, with our Bella Voce Starlight and Spotlight singers. It was an amazing day. It is a very early day to get all the way over there from Brownsburg. It was a three-hour drive. But to see what our students are capable

042of doing. To see the behind the scenes was amazing. And quite frankly, to see the part that our parents play in the support of that, whether it is hanging up costumes, getting costumes ready, supporting the students with a missing button or all of the variety of things was incredible. So that was fantastic. And then also congrats to our basketball team for winning sectionals this past Saturday. We wish them luck for sure at regionals this Saturday itself. thank you sir hayward all right i just uh want to thank our patron for getting up and speaking there i really enjoyed your talk and your domino talk there so i appreciate your service as well all those all those years i want to welcome dr tom it was nice to meet you today and look forward to you

And lastly, I want to congratulate the high school boys basketball team. I happened to be at that game.
