001[Music] 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. [Music] We will now have a presentation of the updated 2025 2026 code of conduct. Mr. Mcdana, Mr. Cerone, and Mr. Iwankco. >> Good evening, Superintendent Certicio, Board of Education members. I'm Bill Mcdana, principal Eden High School, and I'm here with my administrative team, Mr. Savone and Mr. Iwankco. Tonight, we're here to present the update on our 2025 2526 district code of conduct. Thanks to the collaborative efforts of the sheer decision-making teams across the three buildings over the past year. We're pleased we are pleased to report that we did not have any recommendations or changes at their initial presentation in May. However, we were aware that we

002would need to address the governor's recent decision regarding the ban on internet enabled devices in schools that would be driving the amend amendments and additions to our code of conduct, which we'll talk about this evening. In the adherence to the governor's decision for the bell-to-bell policy at Eden Middle School High School, the students will be uh keeping their devices in their lockers, and they will be in their lockers from 7:30 a.m. until 2:15 p.m. We will also be using this opportunity to reinduce the students to the locker use throughout the course of the day. Uh students at this time have been carrying their large backpack since the pandemic. So starting in September, the expectation will be that all students will begin using their lockers throughout the course of the day. We know that all of

003these changes will be a new way of operating for all of this of for all of us. So we do ask that the superintendent, our board of education, and the community be open to the comm community continuous communication that could lead to further adjustments and modifications as we fine-tune this new process. And at this time, I will turn it over to Mr. Iwanko to discuss the details of our plans. Thank you, Mr. Mcdana. I'm Jason Awanco. I'm the assistant uh principal and also the athletic director here for Eden. The new policy creates distraction-free school zones and applies to all internet enabled devices including cell phones, smartphones, smartwatches, fitness bands, tablets, e-readers, wireless earbubs, uh earbuds, and any other device capable of connecting to the internet. We do have important exemptions. Medically necessary devices with documentation

004uh devices requiring required by a 504 plan or IEP. Caregiving responsibilities. These are situations where students may need to use their phones for responsibilities related to caring for a family member. This exemption is granted on a case-toase basis and will be reviewed by our student support team and superintendent. Uh we also for translation services as well. Enforcement. Our enforcement follows a progressive tiered approach. Here's the major change to our code of conduct. This new language will replace any current internet enabled device language in our code of conduct. First offense results in a warning and the device is returned to the student's locker. We will document the incident and contact parents to inform them. Second offense, device is confiscated. We will document a warning issued and the student can get their device at the end of

005the day in the main office. Third offense requires parent pickup of the device with additional consequence that would include detention. For repeated non-compliance insubordination, students will be required to use secure storage solutions each day and face additional consequences. So in these situations, the student would come to the main office in the beginning of the day, hand in that device to the office and we'll put it in a secure location for the day. Um we've reached some of these devices and they're similar to the secured storage like these right here. Mr. Cavone will now discuss our communication plan with our school stakeholders. >> Thanks Jay. >> Okay, we recognize the importance of communicating this change. So um we developed a comprehensive communication plan including parent level or parent letters, faculty meetings, grade level orientations and social

006media outreach for parent student communication during the school day. Families can contact our main office via phone and students can use school phones in the main office guidance and classrooms when appropriate. When we receive messages, we will get messages to students when there is minimal impact to instruction. We will also work closely with our coaches to ensure consistent messaging through family ID so that our athletes and parents are informed by combining clear messaging with consistent supervision and enforcement. We're confident Eden Central will fully comply with this new requirement while minimizing educational disruptions. We believe this measured approach balances compliance with the governor's directive while maintaining our focus on creating a productive learning environment for all students. At this time, we would if you have any questions, we'd be happy to answer them. >> So, uh,

007Mr. Sony, this really was probably more for Mr. Iwanco, but you mentioned coaches will be using family ID, correct? Can you talk about that a little bit, please? >> Yeah, so Family ID, um, it's a one-stop shop for communication where coaches can actually talk to the send emails or text message to the parents, uh, whoever is listed on when they register, you have to do a contact or to the student as well. So, you're able to they can email the student emails. So, what the only hiccup is when uh student or parents are registering, some put their own emails on it. So today we actually send an email out to all the parents that they have to change that and it's got to be under the participant. It has to be the student's e school

008email address. So that way the coach can contact the student and the parent at the same time as well. >> Okay. And so all of our coaches will be using the this method of communication. So if you got a student that plays a fall, winter, and spring sport, you're not needing to learn a new app over and over again. Nope. >> Right. That's fantastic. >> Yep. Now it it the learning curve is going to be really twofold. The students will be fine. It's the parents and how to register and and the coaches in in terms of this is what this is what you're using, >> right? So what's the plan to coach the parents? See, I use the sports analogy there to coach the the parents on making sure that the correct information is is

009logged in. >> So what we did today uh through family ID, I sent an email to all the parents stating what I needed from them. I already had if you had any questions, they they could direct it to me. Um, but for the most part, I've only had two emails so far since that email was put out and I walked them through the process because they already registered. It's very simple process. They they click on the completed registration. They can edit it and I actually highlighted it where it says participate in email and it goes there and a student email address goes there. Okay, >> great. Great. Good plan. >> Thank you. >> Good plan all around. Mr. Wano, are all the coaches educated on this? >> So, I actually had my coaches meeting last

010week and this is was a big topic. I've now we've been using Family ID since I got here. So, it's been for five years. So, they should be used to it. The email thing is nothing's that's not not new. It's more of now there's a spot where you can actually send a text message to them um and communicate that way. Similar to like a Remind app that they were using or like um >> Team Snap. Very similar to that. That's something fresh that family came out with this year. >> So maybe ask that question at home. >> Yes. >> Yeah. And Jay, thanks for bringing that to the forefront. We just invested in the in this component of that software within the last week to 10 days. >> Um and I what I really like

011about it is it takes the ambiguity ambiguity out of it because the coaches will be uh communicating with with the student athletes and the parents simultaneously. Right. The other thing about it is everything's stored on family ID. So at any point or any time I can look at the activities and say and I can click, okay, what did the coach send today? What did they send to the student? What did they send the parent? So everything's archived right there as well. >> Right. And and in terms of the the daily operation of the school, we're going to help students adjust to this. This is not um this isn't a I got you opportunity, you know. We're going to we're going to coach our students up on on how to comply with this and and that

012using their lockers is actually a good plan. You're going to have to do a lot of teaching of how to how to unlock a locker and lock a locker too. So, beginning of school, just a little add little something more for y'all to worry about. >> What is the passing time? Four minutes, >> three minutes. >> Okay. And we know that we we know that that's usually one of the main concerns that we usually hear either from students or from parents is my child's not going to have enough time or I'm not going to have enough time to get from point A to point B. Um it's very few and far in between that we really have many students that are ever really in trouble because they're late to class. Um and we know that

013with this being new, the flex the flexibility of that and the understanding of the of those growing pains there a little bit. Um, you know, we'll be aware of that and and you know, monitor that as well. >> You just got to walk with a purpose. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Without their cell phones, they might be walking a little quicker. So, >> thanks. >> Older students can be involved in this student athlet >> for the family ID. >> Yeah. Who we have to register? The parent has to register if they're playing a sport. It would be any student athlete. Yes, >> any student athlete. >> Yes. >> That's it. Thanks. >> Thank you. >> At this time, are there any requests to remove any items from the consent consent agenda? No. >> Do we have

So those will commence uh starting next month and the audit should be done in the next week to 10 days. >> Yep. And superintendent report. >> Okay. Just a few brief things. the the repairs on the Eden

027Elementary roof and all the items underneath it that needed to be fixed are ongoing. Uh the stage has been replaced and stained at this point. Uh today I um was in the odd and Swag Tech Studios was replacing the plaster and doing some painting on the ceiling component of it. Um there there's a big section of the roof that was replaced and they'll continue that work uh in a in a couple of weeks. And while they're here, they're going to be replacing uh and repairing some of the the slate tiles um that have been obviously in need of repair for a while as long along with some of the the metal I'll call it flashing on the on the peak of the roof. And I'm sure you'll correct me on what that's actually called. I

028have no idea. >> Oh, either. >> Okay, good. >> Um new new teacher orientation is this Wednesday and Thursday. And as you heard Mr. Cone mention earlier, sixth grade orientation is tomorrow. Uh and we are continuing to work with the YMCA about um creating an afterchool program for our students uh at both GLP and Eden Elementary. Um just a word of warning and I know I put this out in the survey because the state needs to approve these programs and they don't necessarily move at the pace that we would like them to. Uh the likelihood of this um there there's 0% chance of this being in place in September. Um, I'm hope I'm hoping for October, but it's more likely going to be November from what I read earlier earlier today. Uh, in terms of

029hiring, uh, we just, uh, brought on a new special education teacher. So, welcome again. Really looking forward to working with you. >> Oh, congratulations. >> And, um, we did have, uh, the halftime art position filled until that really dynamic person was was, uh, scooped up by another district for full-time position. So, we will be uh we've reposted that today and looking for the right person for that fit. Um and other than that, we are in we're in really good shape. Really good shape. >> Can I ask you a quick question about >> Yeah, as soon as I say any questions. >> Okay, say it. >> Any questions? >> Um for the before and after school program, would the same hold true for us if we were just to do it and not involve the YMCA?

030>> Um well, the the before school program is separate. Okay. >> And we run that. Yeah. And we have some we hire teacher aids that that come in early to run that program. >> We really have not looked into um >> running our own after school program because of the staffing issues, right? And so >> partnering with uh there was three different entities out there, the YMCA and and two others. And after working through the logistics with all three of them, the Y really seemed like it was the best partner with us. Would we need to? I I don't know the answer to your question as I as that's a long way of saying I don't know. >> Okay. I was just wondering if not to not use the YMCA, but just temporarily if we

031could do something until the YMCA gets here, but if you don't know, then you don't know. >> I mean, if if the board directs me to determine whether we could staff that, then I then I'll do everything I can to do that. But my concern along with with Kelly Los who's been working on this with me is getting people to do that work, >> right? They might if they know it's just temporary though. >> They want a couple extra where the YMCA is is where >> they would come here. >> Would they be in the building? >> They would be in the building. Yes. >> And we'd give them a spot and then >> Yep. They use a cafeteria and they'd probably need a they might need a classroom or two. Um the gym really

032isn't available because we have so many >> sports. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> I I know that um I I don't even know the name of it, but the daycare place that's down at the Lutheran Church on Woodside and East Church. Um >> St. John's. >> St. John. Yeah. that they do have Eden has buses that buses because my little nephew Carmen will be in pre-K and he'll on certain days he'll be busted over to there for their latch key program. I don't know the age, you know, but I know they do that. I don't know if that's open to anybody or just if you came up through their daycare program, but you know, it's something to >> but we're we're doing what we can at this point to try and fill that void. So, you

033think that the YMCA having a room or two that that that'll be similar to when you know across the street was being used? That'll be >> I I don't I don't know how to answer that. Uh Ellen, I I think that if we can partner with an entity that can provide the service to our community, then we should do that. Um I think that um having a program, and this is just possibility at this point, I don't know what the results of that survey were. The results went right to the Y. So, I don't know what the level of interest or demand is. Um, having a program at at GLP and a program at at Eden Elementary could be um, you know, provide those groups of kids more space than than what they were allowed

034across the street in the Boys and Girls Club. Um, in terms of comparing one program to the other, I'm not in a position to really to >> really did the Y come here in the past. Jen had the other Jen had mentioned something about >> she had mentioned that she had worked in a program. >> Oh, okay. Not here. >> Probably 20 plus years ago. >> Okay. >> I mean, the Boys and Girls Club has been >> Yeah, >> it's almost 20 years, I think. >> Yeah. So, we're doing what we can and we'll keep working at it and and >> I do know some people are exploring the Boys and Girls Club. >> What? To to redo it to buy it out and >> and then and then re >> possibly. Yes, >> that

035would be great if they did that, right? >> It's going to come with a cost. >> Well, a big cost. >> Well, no. I mean, it's, you know, it there's a cost to running a business. So, it's an outside organization. I mean, privately owned. So, >> Oh, they're not nonprofit or >> No. >> Oh, boy. >> Oh, so they that would be a for-profit uh >> Well, it's no different than Kinderare probably, right? >> Yeah. It's it's a service that's required and you know people just aren't going to do it for free. >> Yeah. I mean the why comes at a they all come at >> they all come with a cost. So Kinder Care was one of the entities. >> Um and they all ballpark with where where the Boys and Girls Club was.

036>> Um and you know different nuances that you know one you only pay for the days you use the other you have to pay for the month. And it's that at some point who do we feel is the best partner for our district to work with to provide this service and >> that's where it came down to the why. And you know again it's based on the information we had at that time. >> Is that it? >> Any other questions? >> Nope. >> Um >> wait maybe one more. Uh how far along is the roof repair? Are we going into the school year with it? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> And that was the plan all along. Um because it took a while for, you know, our insurance company to make the the gracious decision

037that they did. Um our contractor has other jobs and um they've been they've been a good partner. I I will say that. Um there anything extra that we've asked them to do, as I mentioned earlier, has come at a very fair price. Um, so it will continue into into the school year and hopefully be wrapped up by November. >> No, I was impressed because I was there and I watched them. They they were very very good because it was very difficult to bring things down and I thought they were pretty skilled at doing doing the the work they did. >> Yeah, I agree. >> Nothing else. >> Um, next we have the board report roundt. Nothing. >> I I could talk for a little >> Don't all jump at once >> bed or we're going

038to go what what are we because I wanted to, you know, discuss something for for a bed if that's possible. >> Well, this is the time to do it. >> It's only Okay. I you know um I I had um you know I been on the board for quite some time and I've really enjoyed it and then I think I I talked to you and Don about that. Then I went away and I knew someone from um from seventh grade and her husband had died also. And then I went up and and been getting along. But I I have a little bit of issues that have to be worked out. If they're not worked out, I I hate to lose my um my board position that I really enjoyed. I was wondering if I could

039just have a few days to see what the this the story is. Um, I was just what happened is that uh everything to seemed to be going fine and she I was up there, she came down here and and then there's a little bit of issues of because of of what my daughter is going to do as as the uh as the the person that that's the executive of the estate and and not bounce bouncing off and and and how that will be. >> So, let's do this now. Let's do this if you don't mind me interrupting. >> No, no, >> let's let's put this on hold because you haven't made a decision yet. >> No, I haven't. >> Okay. >> Yep. That's fine. >> No, because I I hope I I've enjoyed working with

040everybody >> and we've enjoyed working with you. So, so in terms of what you're discussing, there's at this point it's a possibility, but until it becomes a reality, you're still a member of the board. >> Well, thank you all. Thank you very much. Really from the bottom of my heart. Thank you. >> Thank thank the people who voted for you because they voted you in office. So and we and we're happy to work with you too. >> And I'm I've been very happy to work with everybody here. >> It'll cost you ice cream. L. Okay. >> 50 ice cream cafeteria line. >> That's a Is that really true now? >> I didn't know. He said like Oh my god. I'd have to >> anybody else for uh >> Ford round table. >> Hope everybody's enjoyed

041their summer. It's been a summer that's been >> hot as a pistol. >> But we done. >> All right. The next regular board of education meeting is September 15, 2025 at 6 PM in the middle school high school library. >> Oh, could I just bring one thing up very quick? You know, um people are are are coming in from all over with um family for the uh because they're going to have a uh uh with the the pastor of Lutheran Church. They're going to have a a a a thing on on Friday and all of you are welcome to to come and and and be there.
