001[Music] Hey, hey, hey. [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. N. [Music] Heat. Hey, Heat. [Music] We're going to stand. We'll get started. Say the pledge with us to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Get started with our spotlight school. How you doing? Hi everyone. Thank you for having us. Uh Dan Wbone, principal of Greenfield Central High School. I appreciate the opportunity to speak with you tonight about the many extracurricular happenings at Greenfield Central High School. Um, I've said from the beginning on it was actually just a year ago at this meeting that I was approved as the principal, but I said from the beginning that u one of the things that was most appealing about
002GC to me was the fact that we offer so many opportunities in different areas of student life. Um, just in the past 14 days, and I'm sure I'm going to forget something on this list, but in the past 14 days, our school has participated in an art show. We've sent students to compete in the VEX Robotics Championships. We've had choir performances, isma performances, parade of bands. Uh, you may have packed into the performing arts center for that. Uh, we've hosted the underclass awards, senior awards. Obviously, we mixed in a few days of school. it's AP testing season and uh competing in different areas of spring sports as well. But um to speak with you tonight, we have some students from um one of our um really outstanding and I I consider it a unique opportunity
003with our extracurricular activities. So we have students from our SLA, which is our student leadership academy, and uh I will go ahead and turn it over to Miss Hadley Hill and Charlotte Cyle to speak with you tonight and then our three other student volunteers uh later with your activity. Uh, get ready for that. Uh, Parker Cup, Brilen Muma, and Jacob Wolf. So, thanks. Here you go, ladies. Oliver be a big trouble for all the straw. Oh, notice they did call Mr. and they did not. So, we were talking about the student student leadership academy. Um, what we do, we develop leadership skills for students to take and apply them to their own groups and teams. And SLA is in its 25th year. Uh, outside of SLA, there's another group inside of it called athletic leadership
004council. And it's a group of selected athletes and they learn how to better be better leaders in their sports and academics and they learn how to better represent GC. There's 20 adult volunteer team leaders which is mostly teachers and 111 student members. So 41 in ALC and 70 in SLA. And we're split into different groups. Um what we learned about this year is self-awareness, courage, accountability, empathy, passion, and commitment. These lessons are taught through admin, teachers, community members, and SLA alumni. And each meeting has a different um topic of what we learn. And then there is Jacob, one of our students that is also here today, and Mr. Carrie. And we have the activity that the boys have. [Music] getting nervous over here. Hello, my name is Jacob Welch. This is the uh spiderweb. And
005the whole point of the game is to get to the other side without touching any of the spiderw webs, so to say. And Mom can tell you the rules about it. Yeah, my name is Bray Muma and the biggest thing is you can't use any of the holes twice. So, everyone has to get to the other side, but you can only use one of the holes one time. And you can also not touch any of the strings. Otherwise, Parker is going to get you while watching. And if you touch it, you got to restart. Okay. So, who wants to uh try? We're going to get two teams. Two teams. Five people on each team. Oh, Mr. Carrie, you're up. Come on, Mr. Carrie. Oh, yeah. Together. Also, if you need snacks together with me, you
006want me to take your jacket off? Sign up for this. Maybe your shoes, too. as a team. Are you guys doing this? You're You're doing it. You go first. Smart. Where's the big and tall? Yeah, but I've got to jump. You need some scissors. You think this one right here, Mr. Doesn't the team like have to hold the strings back in the middle? I need to spot. All right. If I hit then you got to redo it. We could be here all night. Mr. Brown, you want to give it a shot, too? Take a crack out of Mr. doesn't count, does it? It's not as easy as it looks. Oh. Same one, right? Can't use one. That's our top. And you can lift someone up through it. Yeah. See, I told you you guys are
007not using your teamwork. Stretch on the string. Somebody gets to do the small ones. Show us how somebody got through some of the smaller ones. You just you just Mr. Oliver, will you show us? Yeah. Come on. Two on each side. Yeah. Don't throw. Which one are we going for? Get him right to the middle. This one to help me out. You got to pick up my feet. Are you picking up like superhero? So, no. Lay on the ground. Yes. Are we going for this? What am I doing? One each side. Pick up. Pick me up. Yes. Can all pick me up? All right. Don't drop it. Be still. How could this go wrong? Grandma. Why did nobody Jason, I want you to do that. That's what I was going to do. Oh, good. Thank
008you guys. So as you can see the SLA uh provides a lot of opportunities for uh development obviously the leadership skills but also skills in the important areas of teamwork uh some self-confidence. So I appreciate everyone's willingness to uh participate tonight. Um this was my first spotlight school experience. I hope I'm invited back. Thank you all. Have a good evening. We'll leave right along. There was no one asking to speak tonight. So, we'll go on to routine matters. I have a motion to approve the regular school board meeting April 14th. The executive session April 14th, 2025. I move that we approve the minutes from the regular session and the executive session on April 14th. Second. All in favor say I. I oppose. Thanks. On the claims, Mr. D. Uh, yes. Included in your packet are
009regular claims, payroll claims, and the first claim on the floor project at the high school. I'm happy to answer any questions you have about the claims. Um, I ask the board to approve the claims as presented. Can I get a motion to approve the claim dockets as presented? Make a motion to approve the claims docket as presented. Second. All in favor say I. I. thing on two old and unfinished business financial matters. Mr. D. Yes. Uh included in your report in this report is the final April receipts and expenditures for the operation and education fund. Um now that we have reached the end of legislative session um and we are working through the ramifications of Senate enrolled act one which is property tax reform and house enrolled act uh 1001 which is benium budget. Um,
010this is my 22nd year working in and around school finance. This is the largest change to Indiana education finance that I've seen in that time. Um, the changes that are coming at us are extremely consequential. Um, they're very unsettling because even as we last week I was in Fort Wayne for the ISBO annual conference. One of the one of the big events there is in Wednesday afternoon we have people from the DLGF, the Indiana Department of Education Finance Group and the State Board of Accounts come and speak to the entire group in one large setting. So there's no, you know, game of telephone. We all hear the same story at the same time. Um, they all said that they don't know what to tell us at this time. Their legal teams are still working through
011the ramifications of this this legislation. At the end of the day, the basic math on property taxes have changed. We are no longer working in the in the system that we've worked with, you know, really for the last 75 plus years. Even with the changes that happened in 2000, even with the changes that happened with tax caps in 2008, the basic math of property taxes have haven't changed. They have now. In 2025, that math has changed. Um, if we do nothing, if we don't increase our levies, our property tax rate will go up out of our control. Nothing that we do will change that property tax rate, stop that property tax rate from going up because they've changed how assessed values are going to be calculated. They're going to change how our net assessed value,
012what we base our taxes on, is going to change. Um, we met with some professionals from Steeple and Ice Miller, people that you have, you know, had here in our board meetings multiple times over the last 10 years. Um, they're working on this too. They're predicting 35 to 45 cents increase in the tax rate even if we do nothing. Um, it's just a very complex set of changes. It's really going to take multiple years to figure out where this all goes because that's the way they've set it up. They've set it up to to scale in over over uh 5 years until 2031. We won't know the full impact of what's going on until then. And that's just the property tax side of it. Um, as we talk about our bienium budget, you know, as
013you know, every two years the state passes a budget and they they figure out what we're going to be paid for basic tuition support, what we're going to receive for complexity index and special ed counts and and honors count, you know, all the things that go into our basic state aid, the dollars that we use every day to pay for what we spend out our education fund. Um, those projections do show an increase. If you just pull the projections down from what they published, this shows an increase. But they baked in our curricular resource appropriations. Um, and that's that's about $1.2 million over two years. That essentially means that the increase that they are showing for us is not is non-existent. They flatlined the budget essentially for two years for us. Now, some of that
014is prediction prediction of our enrollment going down. So, if we can not go down what they predict, we'll end up a little better off if we go down. Has us dropping about 30 students in each of the next two years roughly. Yeah. Yeah. Roughly 30 students, 35 I think over the next two years. Um, another change that happened at the end of 2024, um, that really kind really gets highlighted now that they have baked curriculum resources into our our base funding. Um, all that all those dollars, both revenue and expenditures are going to come through the education fund. And you see that in that in the report when we purchased the uh, new ELA curriculum that shows up now. I' I've added a line item inside general or education fund. Sorry. I mean, talking back
015to 10 years ago. I added a line item education fund for both the expenditure side of our curriculum resources and the revenue side of our curriculum resources. You will note that uh we spent about a million dollars on ELA. That's a that's something that we used to be able to spread out over a few years. We ran it through a separate fund that was designed to absorb those hits every so often and then go and then get replenished through textbook rental. They got rid of textbook rental. They they change where we account for this. Um and just to give you an idea, you know, we're going to get um approximately where do I put that? We're in about half of our our of the of the calendar year amount, which is 660 in this fiscal
016year, $330,000. As you can see, there's a big gap between the million dollar we spent on ELA and the $330,000 we'll get this year and the $600,000 we'll get in a fiscal year. Um, so, you know, we're going to have to work to manage that. Like I said, when fund 900 was available, which was the old textbook rental fund or curricular resource fund, we were able to build that up over time. And then when we had these big purchases, that cash balance would go down and then we'd build it back up and then we'd buy math and then, you know, go down and build, you know, so we had a separate fund to deal with that and it made the accounting a lot easier. Now we're going to have to count forward in the education
017fund. Um, lots of updates to the projections. um they're updated as as best I can tell today with what we know. Um obviously as ADN comes more into focus, we'll be able to to to change that revenue number. Um as some of our cost reduction, I added a cost reduction line item in the education fund to reflect some of the the pieces that we're working on right now. Um trying to try trying to capture that and and see how that's going to affect our ability to continue to operate that. Um, I I've talked about including an increase in our education operations fund transfer. We've been looking for efficiencies for two or three years. We are very I'm not going to say bare bones, but we we have become extremely efficient in our operations. There's just
018lots of things that we need to do at times. um whether it's an emergency boiler repair or it's you know seal coating parking lots and those type of things you know just the just the everyday this water fountain has decided to run all the time what's going on you know we we have people who take care of of things like that um but but we we try to minimize that as much as possible we're going to continue to look for those efficiencies we're going to have to look at our workforce we're going to have to look at our purchase services and utilities um util ilities is really tough. We have done a lot of energy saving projects over the last 5 years. We've done a lot of LED lights. We've made them so that they're
019dim dimmable and controllable. Um we've put a lot of lights on timers and sensors. So, you know, somebody were to leave a room and forget to turn off the lights, if nothing if nobody moves in there for five or 10 minutes, the lights will go off. Our utility costs continue to increase over the last six years. Really what we've done is we've helped mitigate some of the inflation in utility rates. You know, I think we're all seeing that in our in our homes. You know, utility rates continue to go up. Um we're going to have to look at ways to to manage that overall with with what we're looking at. You know, we're going to have to look at some, you know, reducing some square footage or it's something we should study. We should look
020at decommissioning any unused spaces we have. you know, taking the lights, you know, down to just a safety line, changing the setbacks on our HVAC, you know, some of those items. Um, moving forward, we're going to continue to look at fiscal year state aid projections. We, as I said, that'll come into a little bit more focus as our ADM solidifies. Um, we're going to continue to look at borrowing money um for some of our capital projects. You know, we've not been able to do much on operations fund um but we have done some. that's probably going to come to an end. Anytime we have to do a large project, we're going to have to look at ways to fund that outside of operations fund. Um, I've had the distinct pleasure today of passing along some
021really terrible news, some really gloomy financial news. Um, but I tell you I I speaking on behalf of of you know the team we work with in central office and our principles and our teachers and our custodians and everybody who who makes this operation run. We will continue to do our our best to provide the best educational co-curricular extracurricular program possible. We are going to maintain commitment to supporting our faculty and staff through a positive work environment competitive sal competitive in salary and benefits. The board has been outstanding over the last, you know, five years on raising our salary and benefits for all of our workers and and we're now the highest on average teacher pay in the county, which we weren't 5 years ago. We're way behind everybody else. The good news, we have
022planned for a day like this. We have planned for a day where where it's going to get stormy. We have been frugal. We have been efficient. We have set aside money for a rainy day. and that day has arrived. We're positioned to manage this. Um, we're going to eat some cash balance in education fund and we may have to dip into our rainy day fund, but the goal at the end of the day is not to compromise on our main mission. I'm happy to answer any questions. I'm happy to leave the room in shame, but you know, we're I think it's important that we talk about the effects of what has happened really I mean really in the last month. That legislation moved very quickly. You know, we knew something was going to happen. I'm
023not sure anybody was able to predict that this was going to happen. Um, but it's important that we report to you the challenges ahead and and you know know that we're going to keep working on it. I'll just interject. Obviously, he has shared some some heavy news, but I do want to to put a feather in Mr. Day's cap. We have prepared for this. That's why we have a cash balance in our education fund. We have made a very low transfer from our education fund to our operations fund compared to most schools the state allows you to transfer up to 15%. We've been closer to 6% in the past. That's going to need to increase for us this year. The efficiencies we're looking for would be everything from uh those who are staff members paid
024through the education fund as well as those through through the operations fund. We'll continue to look for some of those efficiencies as we prepare for next fall. Appreciate it. I said it well, but I mean to sum it up everything I'm hearing with my role with the state is do more with less. And I think we positioned oursel well to do more with less. But it's probably going to be some pain in the interim and working through that. But I think we've done a good job, not only us, but to prepare for it. the the team here to you know find everything when Nate has asked them before and when Dr. all is asking. So I think we'll weather it together. But it is going to be more with less with the emphasis on the
025less. Now it's just finding out where does that come from. I appreciate it. Let's move right along. We go to instruction and program report. You're going to see a number of things here. start with the the summer programming and just a lot of the similar things that we've brought before you in the past in terms of our GC reads program for our second and third read students that need a little additional support for the I read assessment more on the exploration side we'll continue to have camp invention as an opportunity for our students K101 for our students who will be coming to us for the kindergarten experience we'll continue that partnership with the Purdue extension and we'll have that at JB Stevens. And then lastly there on that list with uh the high school programming,
026we continue to have the summer school opportunities and our students will have those opportunities through CISC for a broad variety of classes, but we will have our students on site for that summer PE program in particular. Uh we do run a number of our students through that. It's a great way for them to be introduced to the high school campus as well as learning some of the staff that we have. So, not a lot of surprises there on the summer programming, but I know this group realizes uh our high school facility in particular does not rest through the summer and JB Stevens will be very busy for us this summer as well. Some of those opportunities for our staff um certainly many opportunities listed there for you to to look at as well. everything from
027uh TBRRI to our writing program as well as our our mathematic program that that we'll have. So, it'll be a very busy for busy summer for us here at Greenfield Central. As for the the IRA 3 update, uh we gave you a little sneak preview of that last month that we were actually very pleased with the performance that we had had really across the board, higher than it had been in previous years. reminding you that we've continued to work with our students that did not pass. They'll have an opportunity to take that assessment here um actually next week and then a third opportunity over the summer if they don't uh pass that here in May. Our staff's working very hard to to meet the needs of the the students that we have. And then that
028last piece listed there, just some updates that uh Mr. Marine and the rest of the team have put together for you with that fourth grade transition. We've met multiple times with our fourth grade teachers as well as uh listening from our classified staff with that change moving fourth graders to or keeping them and that elementary school wanted to have an update for you there and provide an opportunity if you had any questions you had for us about that transition. So I'll pause right there. Any questions? Things seem to be moving move on very well on that front. The next piece we have listed for you would be the the NASA voice presentation. So, I do believe we have some representatives from the high school this evening, Mr. Reagan. Well, thank you for the opportunity to
029come in and speak uh tonight. We've got our NASA and our you guys can come up too. Oh, okay. We've got our voice and our NASA representatives. uh it's part of our grant funding uh to get the students in front of you guys, have them kind of make their presentation, share what what great things they do in the high school and and throughout the the community. So, I'm going to turn that over to them. Um I am Cole Lauderbback. I'm a sophomore and I'm a core leader with Voice. I'm Sarah Paul. I'm a junior and I'm a core leader at Voice. I'm Kylie Henderson and I'm a senior. after you guys. So, what Voice is about? What is GC Voice? Voice is Indiana statewide youth empowerment brand dedicated to educating, engaging, and empowering teens to
030take a stand and promote a tobaccof free lifestyle. Here at Greenfield, we are a student organization at both the high school and middle school that shares the important message of eliminating smoking and vaping in teens in Hancock County. Our school's group participated this year in the homecoming parade, Halloween trunk or treat event, red ribbon week, Earth Day celebration, Boy State House Day, Great American Smokeout, Take Down Tobacco, World No Tobacco Day, and present presentations to students at our middle schools and intermediate schools. We have a strong presence on Tik Tok and Instagram. And one of our middle school students we have also just highlighted in the Daily Reporter. We currently have 15 voice members over at the high school as of right now and then 22 active members at the junior high. All right. Hello.
031My name is Katie. I'm the senior representative at NASA at Greenfield Central. I have been a part of NASA all four years. I'm Kendall Barrett. I'm a junior at Greenfield Central and I've been a part of NASA for three years. I'm planning to do it next year. I'm Sierra Watts. I'm a sophomore at Greenfield and I continue um and plan on doing it for the rest of my high school career. So NASA is neighborhood against substance abuse. We are a part of a youth council who meets every month. We bring awareness for underage drug and alcohol abuse. Um Mr. Brookke is our faculty adviser. He works with us for the youth council um along with our leader Tim. Um for our club, you are inducted into the program as a freshman and continue throughout your
032high school career. All right. And some of the activities that we have done this year is we have gone to every single elementary school and given presentations to our third grade classes with something called Generation RX, which is what we do through NASA. So we have people come in and like teach us all about this website and we use their presentations. Um, another thing we have done is we have filmed commercials for NASA. Um, if you've been to the movie theater recently, you have probably seen one of them. Um, and something else that we did this year was bring junkos to basketball games. And the kids had a blast with them. I think I saw more of them out in the hallway than actually at the basketball game. It was a lot of fun. And
033then some stuff we did second semester. So, we wrote some articles that were featured in the reporter. We also went to our sixth grade classes and gave some presentations alongside voice. And um next year we will have a youth summit where we get some of um the kids from the junior high and teach them about NASA. And then at the end of the year we always do a community survey just to locate where alcohol may be placed in stores and give more information on that. And that is pretty much it. Thank you for your time and thanks for letting us speak. Thank you. Thank you. [Applause] [Music] One last item in your instructional report and that would simply be the the 2025 Wita results. Those are our students language uh English language learners, multiple multiple
034language learners. And you see that that population has grown very consistently over the last couple years. um just the numbers of of students by school, by level, and obviously it's our our goal to move them toward level five. Uh and we're doing that. We're moving students along very well. So, just an update for you. I just want to make sure you're you're aware of that. Mrs. CIN's done a great job of of working with our our two EL coordinators to provide for the needs or to meet the needs that students have working with teachers, their home room teachers and teachers throughout the day in the junior and senior high to meet those needs. So, just kind of a for your information piece and we're happy to entertain any questions you might have related to that.
035Yeah. Any questions or comments? Um, how many languages are there represented that you're working with? Mr. Sini, let's see on the spot. I would say approximately I would say close to 30 say more than people realize. Yeah, we do hear from our peers at Mount Vernon. It's over 40 languages that they have there. So, I would say we're probably in that neighborhood. Okay. Thank you. All right. Well, we'll go ahead and continue with construction project update. much smaller construction update for you this month, but the the largest one in there related to the bids that we received last week for the project west of the high school, the tennis courts, the parking lot, and the the storage building. That information has been placed in your packet there, a summary of the the bids that we
036received. There were four that actually gave us uh or submitted a bid. The recommendation that we've put before you would be to accept the bid from McDougall Pierce Construction Incorporated. Mr. Day, anything you want to add to that? No. I They seem to be a good um contractor with lots of experience around the central Indiana area. Excited to get started. Do we do we have a start date? Did I miss that in here? Do we not? It would be shortly after approval if you would be so inclined. Right. In the in the original bid package that went out, we we talked about that they could start as as soon as they're approved. Right. All right. Well, then can I get a recommendation for the bid for the tennis courts parking lot and storage building submitted
037by McDougall and Pierce? I move that we accept the bid from McDougall and Pierce for the construction of tennis court parking lots and storage building. Okay. A second. All second. All in favor say I. I. All right. Same. Thank you. We'll get started on that one pretty quickly. Also, in that report, just an update for you on the the high school gymnasium flooring. All the wood is down, the striping is down. Um, we actually do have something um midcourt. So, they've progressed on this since I put this picture in here. The point being, we have a big program coming up here in a couple weeks, May 31st. We fully anticipate being able to utilize that space. Good. Move on to uh new business, business information. Uh yes, I have four items. Um our normal grants
038and donations. The corporation received a donation of a complete set of the comprehensive written work of James Woodley from Dr. Ron Tor. The value of this donation is $229. Uh Wesson Elementary received a donation of $500 from Regging Greenfield and Purdue Extension for their plant a tree stem project. Um, I ask that the board approve the grants and donations as presented. The amount of these opportunities is $729. Can you get a motion to approve the grants as presented for $729? So move. Second. Second. All in favor say I. I. Uh, the next item on the agenda is the uh collection policy update for our food service program. Um we have been very fortunate that we've had a number of of community groups and and members of our community step upon to our feed the future
039pro program. Um that has changed the need for us to use collections. Our current policy states that we uh collect every month and she is asking to move to every quarter. And then there's some verbiage in there that uh currently we say districtwide K12 and um that does not obviously pick up our our prek and daycare facility. So she's just asking us to revise the districtwide only. Um she has provided some information about collections and and you know how much we're sending off and how much we're collecting. Um but really with the with the donations to feed the future, we've been avoiding that and trying to help some people get back on track a little bit more quickly than sending them off to collections. Um since it's a pol policy change, it' be a first
040reading and we'll bring it back to you next month. Um happy to ask answer any questions you have or pass any changes you would like to staff. Uh the next item is our paid lunch equity or PLE in school meal prices. Um you will note in the uh recommendation from Amanda Stout that we do not have the final PLE but it follows the same math every year. Um, and so we've used last year's PLE tool, which is included here, and it predicts that we have to raise prices by at least the federal minimum of 10 cents. And so, in order to get that out there and publicize it into handbooks, and instead of waiting for the PLE, because we're not getting a lot of great information on when that's going to come out, she's asking
041that we go ahead and do the minimum increase for next year of 10 cents. Um, and then she's going to revisit the adult prices uh as we get closer to the beginning of the year. Happy to answer any questions about that. Uh, otherwise I ask that they appro that you approve the um lunch prices as presented. And I guess that would be $2 for breakfast at all tiers, three and a quarter for preschool tier one and tier two, 335 for tier three and four. Any questions or comments? If not, can I get a motion to approve the school meal prices as presented? I move that we approve the school meal prices as presented. Second. All in favor say I. Thank you. And my last item, again, revolving around school nutrition is the summer nutrition program.
042We're getting that time of year where we um have opportunities within our community and within our schools to provide lunches to kids who are, you know, you know, on summer vacation. Um, we have added a site this year um at Greenfield Central Junior High and it's going to be a they're allowing us to do a grab and go pro grab and go program. So, if you come in for lunch, uh we'll provide you with both a lunch and a breakfast for the next morning and you don't have to eat it in our facility and you can grab and go for your for your group. Um, we will continue to participate with the Boys and Girls Club at their site for their summer program. We'll have our normal high school site which will have breakfast and
043lunch. Um, great opportunity for our summer school kids and our children's theater kids and and then when we get into the second part of the summer, you know, all the athletes who are back training and and band program and stuff like that. Um, again, the junior high site, we will continue to do the concession stand at the Kathy Dowling Aquatic Center and provide me weekday meals there. It's a very popular site most years. And then we have two closed sites. Um the kids camp at Greenfield Parks Department and Trinity Parks Alpha and Omega. Those are, you know, vibrant summer programs within our community and we're going to be able to help them out with some meals. Um we're excited for to participate with them. So information only. Um I would like to point out that
044um there was some reports last week that people thought the summer fund meal programs are being cut and it was not this program. It's a program called SunBugs which provides some supplemental assistance to uh kids who qualify for staff and TANF. Um but our program this the summer nutrition program we're providing meals is is fully funded. Thank you. Move on to student handbook second reading and it is just that you saw the same information last month. We had a representative from each of the tier talk about the the changes or they highlighted the changes and they were fairly minimal this year. We have representatives from each group. If there are some questions that came up over the last month if you have none I would recommend approval of the handbooks as presented. If we have
045no questions or comments can I get a motion to approve the handbook as presented? Make a motion to approve these handbooks as presented. Second. Second. All in favor say I. So next we have that title one resolution. This is something we have to do on an annual basis is to have board approve on that. We've highlighted what the program is. It really hasn't changed much for us. We went from a targeted uh to a schoolwide program where we can assist any of the students in the schools that we're serving. You see that it's a little bit under half a million dollars per year. This being a federal grant, there have been a lot of questions as to whether that will continue. Everything we've heard from the the state department of education would lead us to
046believe that will continue for us. It may be funneled a little bit differently as the federal department of education and obviously it continues to shrink, but we do use that to provide a lot of supports for our students specifically in the area of reading and a little bit of mathematics. And you can see that we we pay a large portion of the salary for about eight of our staff members through that. It is my recommendation that we continue that. If no questions, comments, can I get a recommendation to approve Greenfield Central's continued participation in the federal one or Title One program and authorize Mr. Joe to serve as a program coordinator. I move that we approve the continued participation in the federal title one program and authorize Mr. Ris to serve as the coordinator. Yes.
047Second. All in favor say I. I. Out of state overnight field trip. Yes. We continue to have a few of these as we move into the summer months. We have a letter from FFA advisor and a science teacher Costa Overman Surell. Men's and women's cross country coaches would like to take the teams to Versailles. Versailles we don't it's not Versailles here that's only France for sales state park in July and then our football program Travis Nolton would like to take the team to Manchester University for team camp. These teams understand expectations for overnight and or out of state field trips. It been my recommendation to approve them. Okay. A motion to approve these overnight out of state field trips as presented. I move that we approve the overnight out of state field trips. Second. Second.
048All in favor say I. I post. Did uh Mr. Beaver, did you go to Washington DC this past? I did not. Mr. Cleveland went Mr. Cleveland. How was that? I just like to know. I will say in my 10 years of doing this trip both here and my previous school was probably the best one we had. Awesome. Kids did great. Weather held out. We were looking when we left at rain on possibly Thursday and Friday and uh Friday morning it was absolutely dumping as the buses got to the National Mall but once we opened the doors it stopped. Uh so just a great trip all good time pictures. Thanks for all the pictures. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Now let's go to contract recommendation resations leaves and return.

Can I get a motion approve personnel report as presented? I move that we approve the personnel report as presented. Can I get a second? Second. All in favor say I. I oppose.
