001[Music] Well, I felt bad. [Music] Call this meeting to order. If you would please rise. Mrs. Bo will lead us in the pledge of allegiance and a moment of silence. I pledge allegiance 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. >> Thank you. like to welcome each of you here. Appreciate you being here. Um, this time we'd like to recognize any visitors uh who are with us and if you intend to speak on any agenda items, please let it be known now. Okay. Thank you. Um, this time I would entertain a motion uh concerning the approval of the regular and the consent agendas. >> I move that we approve the regular and consent agendas. >>

002Second. >> All in favor? >> I opposed. Pass. At this time, we would like to do highlights. Um, who wants to go first? >> We have a visitor from For County and so we we have a contract with them and we don't vote year to year. It automatically rolls over unless we determine that we don't want it to roll over and um we do we're very happy with the services and Molly is here from 4C and she's going to tell you a little bit give you a snapshot of the year and their services they provide to the school. >> Great. Thank you. Thank you for having me. I hope you're all enjoying your summer break. My name is Molly Foster. I'm your director at Forcy Health in Howard County. I would just like to take

003some time to shed some light on some but not all of the services that we offer at Forcy Health. So, first we provide skill screening services. It is we have schoolbased which is what we provide for Taylor providing mental health support to students right in their classroom. And this occurs year round. So the kiddos that aren't in school right now are still getting those services. We also um offer those services for community based. We have MCT, which is our mobile crisis team that responds to crisises 24/7. And then we also have therapy and a host of other things. As far as Taylor specifically, we have three skill trainers within this corporation, resulting in over,200 services they provided last school year alone. Um, and we got 63 total referrals from school staff for new clients last

004year. >> Do you guys have any questions? Any questions? >> Thank you. >> Okay. Now, any school highlights? Can you do >> We're in the summer. It's no school. We're not highlight anything. >> Okay. We did. We did have our middle schoolers when uh Yes. >> Is Mickey here? >> Mickey's here. >> Tell us about Mickey. >> Mickey, stand up. Show them what you >> I don't know if I brought that ring with me, y'all. Oh, here it is. We uh it was really my boys came, him and Cody Groves. Um they took a group of kids that we had two or three of them, I was telling Coach B, never even played before. We've got one of them at bats like this. We got, you know, and took them to uh it was great.

005It was a fun fun year. We struggled first few games. Braden would know right off the top, but three or four lost first three or four and then we just got fire. I don't I mean we won 10 in a row and then ended up getting a tie and then winning six or seven more in a row and won the whole Tri County tournament. We was number one seed going into that and they predicted Tiffan to win at the very beginning and that's who we beat in the uh and it was 12 to three when >> you know yeah we uh we have a a good pitcher and then you know you have your two or three. We have one and it goes to maybe four or five but that's who won it. Braden pitched.

006Everybody else saved their main pitcher for the last game, but you've got to get there, you know. So, he pitched and Hayden the game before to get in there and then we pitched just this guy, this guy, this guy and they just killed it. It was uh it was really a lot of fun. Kids had a great time. >> Yeah. So, >> what's your county? Typing. What else? >> Um there it was maybe is it Cass or Miami? Cuz McConnell >> Miami Okay. Yeah. And then we played it over at uh at Eastern at the fairgrounds. But uh yeah, that was uh it was a lot of fun. A lot of fun. Cool. >> Yeah. But I appreciate you acknowledging that. >> Congratulations. >> Thank you. >> All right. Now, recognition of retirees, please. >>

007We only have the one here, correct? >> All right, Pat, come on up. Woo! Yeah. [Applause] I'm getting the camera ready. >> So, Pat, how many years you've been a tailor? >> 28 years. Um, we are going to >> Wait, wait. We can't do two more. Got to even number 30. >> It's too late. We've already >> already apprentice is the next one. So, it's too late for that. >> It's a second retirement time. >> And Alicia would have none of that. Yes. >> Although he's going to drive her nuts, I'm sure. >> Have you been in technology the whole time? >> Um, I was a firefighter for 30 years and retired from that, >> but firemen are off so much. I came here part-time and I've worked 13 years part-time before I went full-time

008for the last 15. >> You've been a technology here the whole time? >> Yes. Yes. Yes. >> Yeah. Pat does uh an amazing job with technology. He does a lot of our grants. So, um, I mean, we're happy with his replacement, but nobody is, uh, replacing Mr. Bernadis. And not only that, the the best thing about Pat is he is just a wonderful person and a man. I don't know if you've gotten to know him, but he and Lisa are are awesome people. So, we are going to miss you, Patrick. >> Thanks. >> So, you get a rocking chair because apparently you're old. >> Cool. >> Pat, sit in it so I can take >> Yeah, you got to check it out with that. Look, it's got all the terminology from technology on it. >>

009I'm sorry. >> Did you see >> Pat? I just want to say too, so I've known you going on three years and in education there's a lot of things you can't depend on or rely on, but your positive demeanor, you're not up, not down, just the perfect positive blood. I could always count on that. Seriously. So, >> put on a really good front. >> Yeah. You, if you remember, we were the first school to go one to one in the area back when we did New Cheek and that was a large part of Pat and his team getting those carts loaded with all those netbooks and um so yeah, he has been just a integral part of everything we've done the past ever since I've been here. So, thank you. >> Thank you, Pat. >>

010Thank you all. I've had a wonderful time here. So, enjoyed this job. I've enjoyed everybody I've met. Um, it's kind of a bittersweet time for me, though. I'm looking forward to it. >> Thank you all. >> Thank you. >> Yeah. And the other one was Kim Do and she is unable to make it tonight. Um, so that was her. She was a high school math teacher. Congratulations and thank you to her. Also, uh I'm confident you all have reviewed the monthly financial reports as will be submitted and of course are subject to audit. Now, Coach B, >> would you discuss with us the old policies and procedures? Yeah, guys, as we said before, this was the biggest one that we've done the three years I've helped with the Neola policies, but um hopefully you had

011a chance to look through at least the summary or the comment section of the 44 policies that were reviewed. Um there was three or four that I thought was interesting concerning uh attendance and curriculum, bowling and such. Um the one first one and I think Mindy forwarded you guys the paperwork I gave her but um it just talks about uh attending the school to maximize future opportunities. Um I think it was uh act 482 and it just talks about guidance regarding chronic absenteeism excused absences and things. So and it specifies that the Indiana code u when it talks about attend it needs to physically be present. So, um the other one, the mandatory curriculum, the additions. Um this has been a long time coming. Finally, somebody got some common sense. Um talks about the personal

012financial uh responsibility class in high school students expected to graduate 28 or after. A course in personal finance responsibility in high school for students expected to graduate in 26 or 27 from schools that opt into the new Indiana diploma. if the student elects to pursue the new internet diploma requirements. That's that's been a long time coming. Um the other one was uh the other one was uh talks about educational outcome for students um policy 2131 volume one that was rescended taken out and then uh the they combined that 2131 policy uh it's incorporated in the Indiana Department of Education goals for students to graduate from high school in Indiana. So um and it just talks about what what an educated student should achieve. Um they just talked about communication and collaborative skills, general education, pride

013and ethics, interaction and cooperation, arts and culture, social change, health, resource management, and career planning, which is another thing that just is really critical right now for these kids. Um bullying, uh that wasn't a big deal. In fact, uh Steve will tell you he's they're already we're ahead of them. They're actually uh coming in line with what we already do. Um in terms of investigating promptly and documentation, um and it also talks about the time frame and and uh they talked about it's not less than five business days after the student is reported. We actually do it the same day. So, we're way ahead of the game and they're come in line with us on that. The other thing uh was uh it's a it's more of a protection thing that's coming I think in

014terms of the ICE and the DCS and things like the investigation to protect information for our kids and parents uh and school basically. So that was 55 full cost of 5540. Um the new one 55401.01 1 in investigation by the Department of Child Services. That's a new one that was for formally included part of policy 5540. Those actually that actually has been portioned into three separate policies now. So um and again it it just it talks about um specifically addresses the role played by DCS in investigating suspected child abuse and neglect while maintaining the rights and privacy of employees, parents and students. Um and same thing with the schools 5540.02 talks about the school and government agencies. That's also a new one and that was also included in 5540. So that's all been combined and

015uh that one actually talks about um addresses the role played by government agencies other than law enforcement agencies and DCS such as official office for civil rights, state board of accounts and other similar governmental agencies and their relationship with school corporations. So again, it's just a lot of I guess protecting our integrity here, our school, our kids, our parents. And then the last thing, um, again, this is part of the student records. It's been revised policy 8330. Uh, it just revised to include a drafty note about determining what information is included in the definition of directive information, which includes only that information that the comp corporation wishes to make public about its students. So again, a lot of this stuff is uh I don't know that we've seen it around here, but I mean the

016way they're crashing parties and holding people out and questioning all that stuff. So I think that all comes in line to protect ourselves, our our staff, our kids, and our parents. So So hope you've all read through that. Um we won't vote on it till next time, but Steve, you want to add anything? Is there >> We're going to be voting on more than that next time. I just Sorry, I just took a phone call today. um from Dan Seing who we work with and there's going to be a new group of NEOA policies that we have to meet with him this month and build on next month because they are a new law that has to go into place before the school's uh year starts. So we will have some new policies in addition

017to these and there won't be a reading because they're law and I assume part of it has to do with attendance because that new policy came out that even excused absences count against now. So towards your excessive absenteeism. So there's going to be some changes coming. We'll meet in the next couple weeks and get those and then that'll be presented to you at the board meeting to vote on and put in place. >> When does school start this year? >> Uh first teacher day is August 4th. Kids come August 6th. >> We don't till the 13th. We need to move that meeting up. >> So I just told him what we will probably do is when we meet and get these in place and we will share them with all of you to get like

018a prior approval and then an official approval at that meeting. But according to him, we would not need to have a separate meeting prior to that. It is law. So it's not like we're implementing anything that's questionable. >> So >> if it's law, why would we have to vote on it? Yeah. Just curious. >> Probably just to put it into our policy to include it in policy. >> Um we had one other thing and um we missed a recognition after our consent agenda. We want to hit the main thing. Good to go, Mr. All right. Um, I just had a um I just wanted to introduce we have uh three new members of our team that just um you guys just approved and they consent to agenda. Um throughout the summer in the hiring process,

019we were able to meet a lot of really like great people. Um we have a lot of really good candidates for our positions and um I am super happy with the three that we're bringing on board. We're bringing them into super important positions um in our building. Um you guys know how serious we take the iate scores. Um second and third grade specifically um are going to be gaining a new teacher in each of those grades and we are super excited to have them and I think a couple I think you guys have actually been talking to to the teachers in that respected grade level. Um, so we're just super excited to be adding three quality individuals, um, including a new counselor, which is obviously a huge need for us. Um, and we're just thankful

020to have that opportunity. So, I'm going to introduce each of them, and then I'm going to let them introduce if they brought somebody with them. So, um, Amanda Wy is going to be jumping into our second grade position. Uh, Amanda is coming from Tri Central where she was the assistant principal. Um, we're very excited to have her. I don't know if you would like to introduce Kirk, but you guys might know Kirk. He's been around. So, um, second, um, Julie Herzog. Um, she is going to be our new counselor. Um, she is, uh, she had previously been at Taylor, um, before I was the principal there. And then, um, so she had left, I'm not sure how many years ago specifically, but >> six years ago. Um, and when that job got posted, um, several

021of the teachers reached out saying they thought she'd be a great fit. Um, after meeting with her a couple times, going through some questions, she was very thorough. Um, we, you know, we want to make sure we're a good fit for each other because we do have a very high need in our building for a counselor. Our students um, definitely meet that, um, foundational rock that I know that she can and will provide. So, um, happy to, uh, introduce you to Julie today. So, um, and then finally, third grade teacher, uh, Kayla Madlong. She also is coming back to us. Um, she was in, uh, what school specifically in Mafia? >> Uh, we are elementary. >> Gotcha. And so, we, um, when we opened that third grade job up again, we had multiple teachers um,

022reach out to me saying, "Hey, I think this teacher is going to apply. We we we strongly recommend that you interview her, get to know her a little bit because she was a great fit when she was here before. So, um, Kayla uh was one of the ones that we interviewed and I think, you know, after she left, I thought think we felt pretty confident that she would be uh the person that we ultimately would hire and we continued to interview and we came back to Kayla. So, we are super excited to have her. Um, Kayla, would you like to introduce your mom? Oh, this is my mom, Sherry. Um, she teaches elementary at Typton. This will be year number 44. >> Wow. >> Um, yeah. So, uh, we only have uh after our new

023hires and after posting the positions, we only have one emergency permit in our building now. Um, and that is the music teacher um who is going through her transition to teaching. So, we're hoping by the end of the year we will we will not have any emergency permits which is obviously huge for us being in the literacy cadre. Um, you know, going through our, you know, improvement plans and I I just think it's we're continuing to head in the right direction and I'm just super excited to add three quality individuals to our building and as we continue to push forward and achieve what we want to achieve and be there for our students. So, >> are you full up now? You have any openings still? >> We do not have any openings. >> Yep. So,

024we're ready to go. We're super excited about it. Thank you for the opportunity, >> J. We just made ourselves a whole lot better with those people right there. But also, >> prior to the meeting, Julie came up and talked to me about Jod and I have been in the bridges mentoring program for years and she was heading she headed that for a few years and um she would like to bring that back to to Taylor and I would recommend highly recommend that you get with her at some point. >> Yeah. And uh if we can pull out all that'd be that'd be sensational. We really need to look at that. >> Yeah, Julie brought that up I think last week actually and something obviously I fully support as many you know as many foundational pieces

025we can have in our building as many you know steps to the ladder for our kids to be able to get that success I think is super important. So I definitely trust her uh to do that job. She has a lot of contacts and has a lot of ideas and that's what we need. We need to keep things fresh and I'm just super excited to start the year. I'm not I don't want to fast forward. I'm still enjoying the summer, but I I am I am uh super excited for uh what we're going to be able to do in elementary building this year. >> Thank you guys. >> Thank you. >> You know, we finally got some good >> welcome to Taylor. Um under new business uh letter A we will discuss uh considering eliminating

026the guidance off guidance office secretary position and with that we will be ending the employment of the person currently filling that position. So Mr. that position was one that we felt like we could streamline and find some savings. And u additionally, we we felt like some of those duties could be handled by the high school secretary. And then as we move forward, some of our students are going to need work-based learning opportunities. And so, one of the things that we're going to try to do within the school is find opportunities that we can provide, which eliminates transportation problems, um calculating the hours they actually work. So, if we can have that person do some of those, you know, work-based learning opportunities in that office, we're going to do that hopefully in athletics, transportation, we're going

027to try to farm our kids up a little bit within the school. So, this is an opportunity for them to pick up some of that as well as it'll be a cost savings for the corporation. >> Very good. Thank you. All right. I would entertain a motion uh concerning the consideration of the guidance office secretary position and uh I'm sorry eliminating that position and eliminating the uh stopping the employment of the person currently filing. >> I'll make a motion to eliminate the high school guidance office secretary position >> and and termination of the appointment. I'll second it. >> All in favor? >> Opposed? >> Pass. >> Letter B, uh, consideration the Kasich joint service agreement for the 2025 2026 school year. >> Okay. This is just, um, our co-op that we're in for special education.

028We redo this every year and this is just a standard renewal. >> There's no major changes. >> Thank you. I would entertain a motion for considering uh considering the Kasich joint service agreement for the 2025 20226 school year. >> I'll move that we approve the Kasich joint services agreement uh as outlined for the 2526 school year. >> All in favor? >> I opposed pass. Now, letter C, consideration of the contract agreement for professional services for Medicaid reimbursement. >> I'm gonna pretend to be Audrey. Okay. >> Um Audrey couldn't be here. She was at a doctor's appointment and traffic did not let her get here on time. But, um I work with her a lot on the Medicaid reimbursement and we have to have a doctor sign off on our waiverss the very first of the

029year every year to do them and to submit them for Medicaid reimbursement. So, last year we had Dr. Marley do it. Um, this year we'd like to extend that contract and have her do it again. It's $500. It's well worth the Medicaid reimbursements that we get for it. Please and thank you. >> Thank you. >> All right. Entertain a motion for consideration of the contract agreement for professional services for Medicaid reimbursement. Excuse me. >> I'll move that we approve the contract agreement for professional services for Medicaid reimbursement. Second. >> All in favor? >> Opposed? Pass. Letter D, consideration to high school student fees. >> Anything special about them? You guys have any questions on this stuff? So, we're just going through the same fees, just uh the only things we can charge is anything kids

030we bring home. So, that's all our art classes. That's what was on the first page. We still have it put in there uh with the cycle of the books for the six years. You take it, divide by your semester, and that's how it's laid out for all those classes. But the only ones we're really charging is our art fees and then um our science that comes for our quote unquote consumables when they do dissections or so on in biology, anatomy, physiology, do those. Okay. >> Thank you. Would you entertain a motion for consideration of the high school student fees? >> I'll make the motion for the consideration of the high school student fees. I'll >> second it. >> All in favor? >> I opposed. consideration middle school student fees. >> Are you okay if I

031stand here? >> Absolutely. >> Okay. So, our most significant decrease is just um we checked with our English reading teachers regarding this year would have been an adoption year. They were fine with continuing with not adopting which is obviously significant savings for our parents because that's obviously very costly expenditure. So, they felt confident that they could continue using the curriculum resources that they have. So that's really our biggest decrease that you see. Otherwise, no other changes. Like Brandon said, the only thing we can charge is things that they actually consume. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Consideration of the middle school student fees. I would entertain a motion. >> Make a motion to consider that. Consideration of the middle school student fees. >> Second. >> Opposed or I'm sorry. All in favor? >> Opposed. Pass. And

032last but not least in that category would be consideration, you know, elementary school student fees. >> We didn't have any major changes. The only thing I think we that really changed for us was that we're not doing three quarters in fourth grade. Now the recorders are going in fifth grade. So that is just something that kind of moved over to the middle school. So for us, it didn't really change too much at all. >> Thank you. I would entertain a motion for considering the elementary school student fees. I'll move that we approve the elementary school student fees out. >> Second it. >> All in favor? >> I oppose. Pass. Letter G would be considering the revised contract agreement for speech language path pathology services. Pathology service. Um I this is just a revision to the

033contract that was approved I believe last month or the month before. So it's for this school year. Um Karen Norris is the SLP there and she in the past we'd always pay our SLPs once a month um on a calendar. She had requested that we pay her every two weeks. Um so she's a full-timer. It's a big bill to just wait to be paid once a month. So we're just amending the contract. I it's a housekeeping kind of thing. >> Thank you. Entertain a motion for uh considering revising the contract agreement for speech language pathology services. >> I'll move that we approve the revised contract agreement for speech language pathology services. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I oppose. [Applause] Letter H would be considering the uh calendar year 2026 budget timeline. >> Who's

034excited for budget time? >> Only you are. >> That's right. Um so we have to have these budget dates um if you're okay with them kind of set in stone and they're regular board meeting dates. Um because I have to have so many days between advertising and then public hearings and all of these kind of great things. So, they're all on regular schoolboard meeting dates, times, locations, but if we could just really, really, really, really not change the dates once we advertise these, it would help my budget process and my gray hair or no hair. We entertain a motion for considering the proposed uh calendar year 2026 budget timeline. >> I'll make a motion for the consideration of the calendar year 2026 budget timeline. >> Second it. >> All in favor? >> Opposed? Pass. >>

035Last but not least is considering the Taylor Middle School's Taylor High School student athletics handbook. Okay. Um, I'm not going to go through every little change. A lot of the stuff we did was just kind of cleaning up some language. Um, there was some repetitive uh language in here. We kind of cleaned it up. Um, we did add some stuff about uh along with tobacco use uh based nicotine THC type products and they they align with the uh the high school handbook. I met with Mr. Gleason and talked about that. Just make sure all that stuff aligned. Um, one of the big changes um if you look under section Section four, number 10, uh, deals with the IHSA transfer rule, um, and everything that happens with that. With the new verbiage that came out, there

036was a lot of information that came out. It probably would have made this handbook probably another six or seven pages. Um, so we just referenced uh on the electronic copy with a hyperlink that the parents can click on that and go straight to it and see all the verbiage that the HSA has put out about the transfer and then also about just uh, again, it's an IHSA bylaw. um and what what specifically they need to look at in that. Um there was one section two uh talking about um school attendance that we just kind of cleaned up a little bit. That was actually in two different sections. So I know there was a section in green um that section was actually removed and then we added it to um number 19 still under that section

037four about attendance and IHSA bylaws and rules. Um, and then the only other big thing, if I can find it here. Um, we we added some stuff about uh or cleaned up some language about um being eligible, what it takes to be eligible, when we'll do grade checks. We'll do grade checks every Tuesday. Um, that will be for both the high school and the middle school. Um the middle school has a little bit of a two strike tier um to where they have two weeks to kind of get their grades up and if they're not up after those two weeks um they are um we put in here that they are removed from the team which means they cannot participate in games. If they want to go on and continue they can show up to

038practice and still be a part of the team but they can no longer participate in games. Um, we had some athletes in years past who uh if they were taking seven classes, and this is more at the middle school level, if they were taking seven classes, they had six Fs and we're still allowed to play sports. Um, we're trying to clean that up and make these kids more accountable because that's what it's going to be in high school. You're not even going to be on a team if you have that many apps in high school. Um, the twoe thing still might be a little too lenient, but it gives us a starting point. we can review that at the end of the first year and and make changes again for next year's handbook if we

039need to. So that was the other big thing that we added there. Um and then we just cleaned up some stuff about uh some of the verbiage about uh the award policies um how to qualify for the different awards, how to qualify for being on the uh the wall of fame uh for athletics. Um the fact that the managerial letters are different than sports letters and things like that and they don't count toward the uh the hall count. Um and then some stuff about uh transportation, signing out kids before and after games for them to possibly have to ride home with parents um in section 11. Um I think those were and then a lot of the stuff was just kind of again Clint kind of cleaning up some stuff um and making things sound

040just a little bit better. And then we included the price of admission tickets, um what we pay our workers, uh as far as like ticket takers, announcers, scoreboard operators, things like that. Um and then also we just included a little bit about what we charge, um or what we uh what we uh pay our officials. Um so that's kind of out there for for everybody to see and know what we do there. So that's it. >> Any questions? Thank you, sir. would then entertain a motion for uh the Taylor Middle School High School student athletic handbook changes. >> I'll make the motion for consideration of the Taylor Middle School Taylor High School student athletic handbook. >> All in favor? >> I opposed. >> Mr. Desawn, do you have any other information for us? >> I

041got a couple things. one. I didn't see Ronnie sitting back there, but next to her is another new hire. Ronnie, do you want to introduce? >> Love to. >> Thank you. >> This is Christina. Christina, you want to stand up for me? This is our new transportation secretary. The last one you had. I don't know about her. This one, this one is on it. She has been a godsend. She's been with me a full almost two weeks and she has nailed it. Running right out of the gate. Thanks for taking her. >> Is she training you well? >> She is. >> I was talking to her. >> She's right. She's whipping me right in. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. >> Very good. Very good. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Yeah. Kudos to them. They uh

042had they took the bus to the Hesson Festival, >> so Taylor was represented there. So, thank you for that, Ronnie. Um kudos to Kurt. He got the student athlete council going again. So, you took our kids down to the 500 to the track, >> right? >> Which was awesome. >> Yeah. Um, we did that yesterday. We took 11 kids down, myself and Mrs. Wald, my assistant. Um, we had uh we had a keynote speaker first thing in the morning. Um, who uh played basketball for Duke uh in college. Uh I think she was on I think she said it was the 1999 uh national runners up. Um that that lost to my beloved 34 lighters, but we're going to go there. um uh she was she was a great speaker talking about not letting uh

043not letting your inner critic be your worst critic um and and things like that. And then we had a couple of other different keynote speakers um throughout the day and um some hands-on stuff as well. We had a thing called rule the road where there were some stations set up where kids could uh see what it's like to what it's like to and what the dangers are of drinking and driving and things like that. Um just learning about automobiles and different vehicles in general.
