Verbatim source text

001was sick last year. >> My name Join us for the pledge. We'll go ahead and get started. To the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for it stands nationy andice for all. Good evening everyone. We're going to get started with our spotlight school. >> Good evening everybody. We're glad to be here tonight to talk about a program we started at the junior high this year. Um it's called the life and career readiness program and I'm here with Mrs. Kohl's and four of our students that we're going to talk with you this about. Um it's a great program that we kind of started to back up uh last year or this year. We had about a year hiatus. Uh this is what we formally called really our fax class which probably

002many of us took in junior high where you're learn how to use sewing machines and cooks and but Mrs. Kohl's and I she really kind of approached me about it once we were deciding to bring this back. she really dove into this and wanted to really make this something special because with our curriculum we currently offer. We do a lot of the courses that we hear a lot of people say, "Man, I wish that I learned that in junior high or high school. Like, I can do all this algebra and geometry, which is great, but can I balance a checkbook?" Well, the great things that we do already is we start showing those kids those things. So with our prep for college and careers class, we give them a very good taste of how to

003apply for colleges, what your careers may be at that initial level, that coupled with our personal finance class really teaches them a lot about, you know, financing, buying cars, all those wonderful things that kids are really interested in. Uh but we just a lot of us probably didn't have that kind of opportunity. Uh last year we had Mr. Marthin here with our technical education program that used to be like kind of our shop class. Uh we still do a lot of those things there, but also get into the wonderful real world of kind of STEM learning. Um we did a lot of like laser engraving. We're doing a lot of those things. Kids are really into those things. So really with adding this program in, it fills in all those gaps of things that the

004students definitely have told us in this one quarter they really are enjoying because they know they can do it. So, I'm going to let them talk about that here in a minute. I'm going to turn over Mrs. Kohl's and she's going to kind of tell you what awesome things we're doing in that class and you guys can hand out some of our work that we've done here. You guys can pass these around and we'll explain them as they go. >> So, the students are passing around um some of our our stitch assessment that we worked on when the students were first learning how to sew. And this was probably the unit that made me the most nervous. I'm like, they're not going to be into this. for not using sewing machines. And I've never seen

005kids more excited about sewing. I brought in torn up clothing, my Goodwill basket, and that morning I took scissors and just ripped holes in everything and just kids patching one hole up after another and bringing the stitches up to me. Uh, in fact, one of the quotes that I have up here is, "I'm going to spend the weekend working on my stitches." Uh, they were excited about going home and practicing those items. I fixed a button for my mom last night. You know, having the pride in being able to do something that their parents aren't able to do. Um, so the quote up there on the screen really summarizes how I feel about my job this year and that I have the best job in this entire district. Um, it has been a lot of

006work. Um, it's been a labor of love from the hundreds of post-it notes spread over my table and talking to friends and parents and teachers about those gaps. What gaps do your own children have? My own 17-year-old was terrified when he had to talk to the Walmart hiring agent on the phone, and he looked at me like this. I mean, with actual panic in his eyes. And I feel like I'm a good mom. I feel like I do all the right things. Uh, but I recognize that there are some real gaps in what our students are able to do and what they need to be able to do to be successful as adults. And so every day they're learning something that they can apply to their adult life to help them be successful, to fix

007things that are broken, and to do things on their own and have pride in that. Uh, one of my favorite quotes from this last quarter is, "Why is meat so expensive?" Which is great. I hope they went home and had that appreciation to their parents who are grocery shopping and trying to find those deals. Um, I'm not eating enough protein to fuel my body. We spent about two weeks working on nutrition and thinking about what we eat and how we're fueling our body with protein and carbs and fat and making healthy choices. We did have a healthy snack day that did not go over as well as I was hoping. Uh, the fig, ricotta, and honey really just pushed too many envelopes that day, but they got that experience. They got to try something new.

008Um, how do I work on things when I'm a thinker and my mom's a doer? Part of our curriculum is understanding our personality types because no matter what you do, from the brain surgeon to the McDonald's worker, you are going to have to interact with people and get along with people that have different personalities. So understanding that boy, I'm a thinker and so I'm processing this, but my mom expects constant interaction, they're hopefully learning how to bridge that gap between different personalities. And I did have a student that did request a mop because they really wanted to make sure in our cleaning tasks each week that we could sweep the floors, but mopping the floors would look really nice. So again, hopefully that's a skill they're going home and working on as they're learning all

009of these things that will make them successful adults one day. Um, beyond the kitchen is the title of this slide because my class I really feel like is beyond that typical family and consumer science class. Again, all of those post-it notes that were spread out, turned into units, and turned into building blocks to help them build on all of those essential skills. So, not only will we cook five meals, in fact, we're cooking this week. We're going to make different varieties of spaghetti sauce from scratch. Uh but we also work on interpersonal communication and conflict resolution. Again, how to get along with those different personality types. We try to understand and work on nutrition and meal planning. One of my favorite challenges is they had $20 to build a healthy, well-balanced meal for a family

010of four. And that's where the why is meat so expensive? no matter what they tried to bring in, I they had to really worry about their bottom dollar. Uh we are going to work on budgeting and financial literacy that does cross into the curriculum of some of the other classes. And when that happens, all of the instructors really focus on the idea that this is so important. It really needs to be touched on in two classes. So, thinking about the future, thinking about earning money and what that looks like and think about upcoming expenses as they're getting ready for cars and insurance and uh wanting to be more independent. We have worked on basic stitches and clothing repairs and we passed around the cloth monsters. We had the full-size one and then we did have

011a variation for students that were really struggling with the stitches. They did the stitches but it had a little less creativity to it. that everyone was able to find success with our sewing projects. And one of the activities that we'll be doing in the next few weeks is adultting week. So, I started thinking about all of the skills when you are living on your own and the drain is clogged and you need to hang something in the wall and man, the hammer just went right through it. Um, is this level? How do I know if it's level? What are all those little marks in between the inches on my measuring tape? I really tried thinking about all of those skills uh that if no one is teaching you at home, how do you pick those

012up? And I have a lot of kids who have these great conversations at home and I have a lot of students that are hearing about this for the first time. And so we're all getting to learn from each other. And the last one on there leaving voicemails and phone etiquette is a little note to my own 17-year-old that really struggled with that. Thankfully, they did give him a call back and he does have a job at Walmart right now, but man, that first phone call was really iffy. And then the benefits, this class has been entirely created and cultivated from hearing from parents and co-workers and uh people in the community of what are what are we seeing? What what gaps are we seeing in our students, our own students, our kids in our classroom?

013And so the great thing is this can vary from semester to semester. We can make changes within a semester depending on the kids and what they need. They do a pre-ervey at the beginning of each semester and they'll do a post survey to see that growth. But that pre-ervey also allows me to see if there's something that everyone feels comfortable with, we can move on and maybe focus on something else. In our class, much to the dismay of students, we are focusing on a lot of other subjects than just cooking. So, we're bringing math in, we're bringing science in, and we're bringing in that communication standard. We have academic rigor and real world relevance. So, guys, today, what were you working on before we got to do the cooking? >> Uh, nutrition facts. >> Nutrition

014facts. So, with every recipe, they're breaking down all the nutrition. And then what else did you find? >> What we need before? >> Yeah, we have to read the directions and what we have to do before. What about the total cost? >> We had to find the price of certain items. >> Yeah. Find the price of all of their grocery items. So, we're really trying to bring in all of these things. So, it's pushing the students. Um, but we're also it has that real world connection. And I like to think we have a lot of room to grow. One of my wishes this year was for outdoor green houses to give students that farm-totable experience where they're growing their food. We've talked a lot in class about how younger generations are really starting to adopt

015some old school habits such as knitting and making their own clothes, growing their own foods. Uh teaching them to can and preserve is on my list. And then collaborating with the preschool. So instead of just making these and they go home with the students, can we work with the preschool to create something special for those preschoolers in our uh in our community? So uh I think it's wonderful and I'd love to give you an opportunity to hear from our students of all the things that they are excited about. >> Okay. So >> we come on up. >> Yeah. Um, I think that home is a great opportunity to um, learn about not just skills as a job that you need later on in life, but like everyday skills like cooking dinner and fixing things and

016learning how to grow stuff and just all that stuff. And it's I think it's really good because these are everyday things that you're going to need to use. in your life. Um, and we talked about one of these questions. If I was going to tell a seventh grader why to join this class, I'd probably say that it'd be a great opportunity to learn about um, skills later on in life that you can use. And that's mostly it. Good evening. I think that this class is very important because you learn useful skills like cooking and cleaning things that we all need whenever we have our own houses. We we also learned how to fix holes in our clothes, which is very helpful. Something I'm proud of from last quarter is being more open to trying new

017foods and ideas instead of always doing the same thing. If I was a seventh grader and I was thinking of taking this class, I'd tell them to do it. It's a creative way where you learn new things about cooking itself. Thank you. Um, one of the things I learned from this class this year is I'm able to make box macaroni and things in the microwave, but I learned how to make pancakes from scratch, how to mix ingredients. I didn't know that you had to have like a dry bowl and a wet bowl. And also, I kind of thought I could stitch because it's kind of just No. I was like, "No, I can do that." But when I started doing it, it was a lot harder than I expected. So, it's kind of things that

018like I hadn't learned, but I kind of assumed that were easy that kind of surprised me and I had to really work on. Um, I enjoy life and career readiness because it's giving us like a break from like the standard school things and we're getting a chance to focus on stuff that like we'll face in like everyday situations like communicating with people and doing all that stuff. And it's also giving us like a taste of independence like when your mom's not around you'll be able to make food or if you do run into like little stuff like big clothes and stuff. >> So, we have a few just pictures that we've collected over the uh the last quarter of some of the things the kids have done and got pancakes there and what what are

019the >> no baked cookies. Um, and that was a real challenge for the students because we just wanted to kind of throw throw everything in the bowl and we've talked a lot about, you know, cooking is science and so really making sure that your sugar liquid uh pan boils for two minutes really made a difference in all the consistencies. So, we had some huge successes, but we had some huge fails all throughout the day. So, >> it was fun taste testing those throughout the day. So, it's been a lot of fun. These kids have been working really hard. Every time I pop by, I mean, you talk about an engaged classroom of students that really are enjoying learning new things. Even though it's a lot of us, it's like, okay, it's it's a point where

020we all learned it. So, so Mrs. Kohl's has done a great job with this. I'm really looking forward to what we have coming up this quarter uh because we are getting a little more into the real world things. I know today uh we had a huge shipment of drywall come to the loading dock which we weren't expecting the good 4 by8 sheets and figured out very quickly why they were there. So uh we're really excited about what what is coming. What questions you guys have for us? >> No, I think it's great. Really do. Thanks. >> Well, thank you for your time. Thank you kids. Good job to you guys. >> I think it needs to be offered as a night class. I know a number of adults who You guys can decide that. >>

021Thank you. >> Was there anyone asked to speak this even? >> Not to speak. >> We'll move right along to uh >> uh minutes of the regular meeting September the 8th, 2025. The executive session September the 8th, 2025 and October 1st. I get a motion to approve. I move that we approve the minutes as um listed from September 8th and October 1st. >> Second. >> I say >> the claims yesterday. >> Yes. Included in your packet are the regular accounts payable claims and the payroll claims last month. I'd be happy to answer any questions you have. Ask the board as presented. >> Any question or comments? If not, can I get a motion to approve the claim docket as presented? I move we approve the claims as presented. >> Yes sir. >> Second say I

022>> oppose same on to old business financial matters. >> Yeah. So this month you have the um actual reports for the education fund and operations fund August and September. Um you know as we've gone through the year you know and we've been making some of our adjustments I started including a cost reduction line item in the August projections. Now that we've reached August and September, I've taken that out because those cost reductions do start to show up in some of our line items. U so that's why those kind of went away. It's not that we weren't saving the money, it's just that the savings were actually realized. Uh just wanted to, you know, continue to talk about our revenue. We did get our final ADM which was 4,12.74. Um, I believe at the last meeting

023we were predicting that number to be right around 4155. So kudos to the our schools and and thank you very much to the high school to try to get ahead of those part-time students and folks that show up in our enrollment as a whole student but really show up in our ADM partial. Uh, and as we talk about that revenue, you know, just a reminder that I I added the curriculum resource line item. It's now lumped into the basic grant. However, that was never really supposed to happen. And so, that's something we have to keep our eye on to make sure that we're not counting that as as regular tuition revenue to help support the education fund. That money really needs to be set aside earmarked for our curricular resource material needs, whether it be

024iPads or workbooks or drywall for the for for the life skills or the skills class that we have in junior high. Um, as now that we have the a we will we will see a decrease on our revenue in the education fund at the end of the year as they adjust for what they were using as our projection. Other than that it continues to go the way we expected to which is both good and bad. Happy to answer any questions. >> Any questions, comments right along to budget 2026 adoption. Yeah. Uh, so in your packet this month is u a number of resolutions that we will need to sign at the end of the meeting, but really today I'm just asking you to adopt the budget as presented. Um, there's been no material changes since

025the hearing we held last month. Tax rates are the same. AB estimates are the same. really the the the budget as presented last month carried over straight over adoption. Um so I guess uh if we could just tick through those resolutions and I ask that you entertain a motion to adopt the bus replacement resolution. >> Yeah. Can you get a motion to adopt the four resolutions as presented? >> We adopt the four resolutions. >> Second. I'll second. All say I >> oppose. Say thank to the instructional program. >> We see a variety of of things here. The first one regarding the Hancock County Career Center. Mr. Kerry. >> Y. So, as many of us are aware, the Amplify building is quickly going up and we're excited to see that. I know it may seem quick

026to some people, but our secondary folks are already thinking about scheduling for next year. Uh we'll have some course proposals for you next month for a first reading. But uh as as we think about this time of year, we as a district are required by the state of Indiana to have a formal partnership with a CTE, a career and technical education partner. And so that's always been Walker Career Center for us and we are officially asking to switch that to our new Hancock County Career Center, the Amplify Building. And so that requires a formal uh vote from the board. So we're happy to answer any questions. That is our recommendation at this time to make that switch effective this summer July of 2026. >> Any questions or comments? If not, can I get a motion

027for Greenfield Central formally to transfer our Indiana area uh CT district from Walker Career Center to Hancock Career Center at Amplify July 2026. make a motion we transfer from the Indiana our Indiana area CT district from Walker Career Center to Hancock County Career Center at Amplified effective July 2026. >> Second. >> All in favor say I. >> I say >> appreciate that. That'll be the the first of about four items we need to submit to the state before the end of the year to make that happen. But we're pretty excited about that. Obviously, we've been trying to keep you up to speed on that over the last two three years. I think it's really going to increase our numbers of students participating in CTE with the convenience that we're going to have there. Next item

028you're going to see there is related to the November 4th e-learning day that's coming up here in two weeks. Both Mr. Kerry and Mr. Marine have just put a summary in there of some of the activities that we'll have. Just a reminder, we do that three times a year having a learning day that provides us that opportunity to have some professional development with our for half the day, giving our our students an opportunity for some e-learning on that as well, which is becoming a requirement for students all the way up through through college. So, it's good for our kids to get that that opportunity. Not something we want to take advantage of doing more often than necessary. There's a likelihood we'll need a few of those days related to inclement weather throughout the year, but

029that just gives you a rough idea of what will be transpiring with our staff that day. Mr. Kerry, Mr. both happy to entertain any specific questions you may have about the PD on that day. >> If none we'll move on there. I'm going ask Mr. Marine to talk a little bit about the IARN checkpoints. It's a new system for us this year. You've heard I learn quite a bit but the checkpoint is a little bit different for us. So Mr. Marine. >> Yeah, good evening. So this is the first year that all Indiana schools are participating in the ILR checkpoint. So we uh our third through eighth graders participated in the I learned checkpoints in ELA and math right before fall break. So the first two the two weeks that led up to fall break.

030So uh these checkpoints serve as kind of formative assessments for us. So provides us some data on just a small subset of standards in ELA and math. And then we look at that data. This is the first time we've done that obviously. So we're just now digging into that data. Our principles are looking at that and figuring out what our next steps could be as far as intervention and remediation. And then we're going to start now preparing for checkpoint two which is going to occur right before the winter break. So two weeks before winter break. So uh we'll have checkpoint three around spring break. do the same thing again, different set of standards, and then those will all lead up to the summit of. So, the idea is that as students work through the checkpoints,

031then that is a good predictor of their um uh performance on the summit of assessment. >> And we'll be submitting these reports to parents for the first time. >> Yep. We sent those out the first checkpoint over fall break. So, parents all have those the information on the their student results. >> We will no longer be doing the WA >> not for grades three through eight because it would be a duplication. >> Next piece in there was actually related to graduation rate and I know we we informally shared some updates with you but uh Mr. Kerry share some of the good news there. >> Some great news from the high school. Uh we were able to get a few more kids across the finish line before our October 1st deadline. So, the unofficial graduation rate

032for the class of 2025 at Greenfield Central High School is 94.1%. Which, if that remains where it is, would be the second highest in the history of our school district. So, very proud of the work they're doing. It is certainly a K12 accomplishment, but we're just very proud of all that work. And those are kids leaving our doors with opportunities. So, we appreciate all our work. >> Congratulations. That's all we had in the instructional report for you this evening. >> Two construction project updates. >> Well, driving down Franklin or right here at the corner here, you would have noticed that was uh closed for a couple weeks over fall break. We have continued to make progress on the the tennis courts project. not going to quite get the the ceiling of those courts done before

033the inclement weather gets in here, but most of that project is is moving along, at least continuing to to move along. So, if you have specific questions about that, we're happy to entertain that. We did put some of the minutes in there from those meetings. We do meet every two weeks with contractor as well as Barton Coilma on that. Yeah, I think there was that outside chance we could have been done this fall or for the the spring season. It looks like the original timeline for us to be done for the next summer is really what we're going to be in line with. >> We do have a commitment from Les Codings that we will be the first project that get tackled once the weather's good. >> That's one of those things that's going to

034be tough as people drive by and you think it's about done, but it just doesn't have that that top coating and the striping on it. We don't want uh to jeopardize the long-term warranty on that by forcing the issue here this fall. >> So, next piece there specific to the building reconfiguration design. Just letting you know that as we continue to work with that team from Lancer and Associates, we did get the 100% design development documents have been shared with us. Those have been forwarded on to the skilman corporation so they can give us some more up-to-date cost related to that. And for our community along those lines as a next step, we are planning to have an community information night on November 4th, 7:00 at the high school's performing arts center. Uh the auditorium

035will be open to the public and if people can't make that we will stream that event but that'll give the public an opportunity to hear a summary of the work that we've been doing really going back to February of 2024 and give people an opportunity for some input in that setting. So I want to make sure that that's noted. We will share that out with families through parent square obviously letting our staff know about that opportunity as well. >> Thank you. The last piece there, I just listed some some smaller projects we have going on. If you've driven by the existing or the current softball and baseball field, you notice that that wood fence is starting to deteriorate. We do have some prices to replace that with some more conventional >> just the black >>

036black coated vinyl fencing. We're also looking at a small playground set for the preschool at Weston. We added that class this year. We want to make sure that our preschool students in that setting have an opportunity for appropriate play interaction. And then on that last page there on the Frost property specifically looking west of the tennis courts, we're asking our maintenance team to do some clearing of the overgrown vegetation related that would be uh adjacent to many of those buildings from a security standpoint. We want a little bit greater visibility over that. So you'll start to see some of that. And lastly, last month, we talked to you about getting some input from Energy Harness about a potential junior high solar project just to see if it's worthwhile. We don't have that that uh proposal

037back at this point, but as soon as we do, we plan to share that with you. Mr. Day and I happy to entertain any questions about any of those projects that are listed. >> Any questions or comments? Do they have the brick panels for out there? Brick. Is there a brick going on? So, there'll be a brick cladding on the main building out there, >> and we had them replicate the locker room edition that we put on on the back, which also replicates kind of the twotory edition on the the front of the building and is that same color scheme as the performing arts center. >> So, it's going to it's going to look very similar to the buildings we have. >> We don't have any other questions. We'll move right along to we're reading

038recommendations. I I do want to note when you look at the agenda, there are no first readings this month. You got one month off, but I did receive seven items from our partners at church church hit on interrum. So next month you will see four first readings. Anyway, on to these second reading items here. No surprises. These are the same five recommendations that you saw last month. E200, religious release time and credits for religious education. F-125 purchasing procedures and capital assets. G350 audio video and digital recordings on school property. G360 data breach and protection. And lastly, H100 school visitors and parent family engagement. No changes from last month. If there are no questions, I would recommend approval as presented. >> A motion to approve the policies as recommended. >> We approve the board policies as

039a second. Second. All >> in favor say I. >> I. >> On to new business. B business information. >> I've got two items. See one today. The first is a donation that Molly Champion received a grant from the Hamburg Foundation of $1,650 and that will be used to restock our tier one and tier 2 schools, our elementary and community school regulation groups. Ask the board approved the grant as presented. The opportunity is $1,650. >> Making a motion to approve the grant. donations as presented. >> I move you approve the grants as presented. >> Second. All in favor say I. >> I. >> Uh the second item I have in uh in C1 is the appointment of appraisers. Uh we need to appraise a section of property. The legal description is attached if you really want

040to dig in look at it. U but Mr. It's a portion of >> Maxwell intermediate school and in order to complete a lease rental we need to have that portion of Max intermediate school. So I just ask that you pass the resolution appointers. >> Can I get a motion to approve the resolution as presented? >> I move that we approve the appointment of appraisers resolution as presented. >> Second. All in favor say I. >> I. To collective bargaining agreement, tenative agreement. >> This is something we've been working on really going back into the summer where we had informal bargaining. The state doesn't allow us to have formal bargaining until September 15th. They give us a two-month window to get an agreement settled with our classroom teachers association. If for some reason you don't have a

041an agreement by that time, you would go into IMPASS and then the state steps in. I'm happy to uh let you know that we uh had very cordial settings with the classroom teacher association this year. I feel like we were able to achieve the goals that we had. I think I hope the teachers would share the same thing with you. I've given you the highlights of what would be and that that tenative agreement and really today there's no need for board action. However, uh the president, Mr. Brown, if you would invite the the public to have an opportunity to speak toward that tenative agreement as is required by Indiana code and then at some point we will need to have a follow-up meeting at least 72 hours from now. We did not feel like there

042was any need to really force that issue. So it would be our plan assuming there were no changes that we would bring that back to you in the November 9th board meeting. But at this time if you wouldn't mind opening up the meeting. >> Yeah. Um, I open up to invite to the public if they would like to discuss or talk on. >> All right. Thanks. >> All right. Let's go to out of state field trips. >> Just have one for you this evening and this is not a new one. And frequently our academy has taken trips on the ECE 36 civil rights journey. Uh the request is to take a group of students, four students in a chaperone that this is something that's paid for through our partnership with the Simon Youth Foundation. It

043would take place November 13th through the 16th. Mrs. Benoodi would be the chaperone. She's been on this before, understands the expectations we have for out of state overnight field trips. I have no reservations in making that recommendation. >> Can I get a motion to approve the overnight field trips as presented? Make a motion we approve the overnight field trip as presented. >> Second. >> All in favor say I. >> I. >> To Greenfield Central Police Department. >> I actually ask Mr. Kerry to take us and he's done the bulk of the work on this. >> So we are excited as we continue the process with our new police department to purchase two vehicles from Greenfield Police Department. Had a lot of conversations with Chief Hartman and Mayor Titus about where we're going. And so Greenfield

044Police Department is updating some of their fleet and they have a few vehicles that they would like to sell to us at a very good price. Uh keep the lights on them. We're going to get get them wrapped in our new logos so they're ready to go. Actually, one of them is being used by one of our SRO's right now. So, it would be just the same car with different wrap on it. Uh we've done a lot of work. Mr. Day and myself have looked at a lot of different places for police vehicles and this is a really good really good deal. we know they're being well taken care of and so um we're just asking for a approval of a resolution to purchase these uh property from the city of Greenfield and we'll get
