Bus drivers, custodians, teachers, administrators. Uh it's been a good startup. Our athletic teams have started well also. Um you football's 2-0. Uh the girls soccer were 6-0 before last night. They played a tough game against Butler and and the boys
003soccer lost a tough one, but they've got a great record this year also. So, it's nice to start the school year well. So, that's it. >> Wendy, would you like to go next? >> Sure. Uh Jerry pretty much uh took everything that I was going to say. That's all right. I mean, we we've been going to all the same things here lately.

And um again uh same with the sports, congratulations uh to everyone. I think that it's off to a great start. >> Stephanie, >> hi everybody. Welcome. Good to see you all here. Um Jerry and Wendy covered girls soccer, but I have to say last night in
004the first half, they played really really well. >> They they really did. Um, and then not sure what happened, but they that they did really really well. That the potential is there.

Um, so that's good news. And I think that's all I have. Mr. Stunning. >> Thank you. Um, I'd like to uh thank the staff at the intermediate for their hosting of our lieutenant governor, Jim Trestle. Uh, I attended that event and Amy might want to follow up with more comments at her end, but what I witnessed was a group of fifth graders sitting on the floor for about
00515 minutes in silence. If you know anything about fifth graders in a group, that's n to impossible. and they were exceptional in their behavior and the lieutenant governor and his staff noticed it because they go to a lot of schools and so it was really good to get the praise for our staff and for our students there. It was welld deserved and I thought they did a super super job. That's it for me. I think the others have covered my comments. Recognitions of visitors and public comments sir. Do we have anyone? >> Mr. President, we don't have anybody signed up. >> Okay. Then I'm going to move on to uh school district presentations and that's uh Sue Brackenhoff I believe is going to kick it off. >> So I'll just introduce we have a huge
006crowd here tonight which is awesome. Thank you for being here and it's for a great reason. We're going to recognize those students who received a perfect score on their OST and um about said EO and EOC for some reason that didn't sound right which are the state required tests that our students take each year. Dr. Raken. This is like the Super Bowl for me. You know, people get excited about sports scores. I get excited about academic scores. And this year, an amazing um number of students had a perfect score. Last year, we had 20 students across the district that had a perfect score. This past spring, we had 35 students with perfect scores. So, we have almost 6,000 tests taken each spring by our students and to reach a perfect score is an amazing feat.
007And this year, I think for the first time ever, we even had perfect algebra scores, which was again amazing. So, we're going to go by grade level. And remember, this is last year's test score. So, if I say fourth graders, I know you're fifth graders now, but bear with me because that's how your perfect score came.

012you are, ladies. Good evening. Oh, I would like to thank you for letting us come and talk to you tonight. We are here to speak on behalf of the class of 2026. I am Abby Gumber, class historian, and with me tonight is treasurer Rain Steppp and assistant treasurer Claire Cample. Our other soft officers are at volleyball and tennis matches and are unable to attend the board meeting today. Since 2004, it has been a tradition for Fairone High School for seniors to go to on an educational trip to New York City. The trip entail visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Summit One Vanderbilt Observatory, the Statue of Liberty, and many other exciting attractions. While we are in New York, we also see plan to see a Broadway musical. We plan to travel by bus to New
013York the evening of Wednesday, March 25th, and return Sunday, March 29th. The trip will cost each student $920. This includes transportation to and from New York as well as transportation in Manhattan. It also includes the use of the subway, lodging, meals, Broadway show tickets, visiting the Statue of Liberty, Summer One, Vanderbilt, and other activities. Payments will be collected monthly beginning in October. We will be working with Junior Tours, the company that has been used for the past trips. Seniors can offset some of the cost of the trip by participating in fundraisers. The main fundraiser will be the world's finest chocolate candy bar sale. We will also be asking the community and local businesses to help by donating various items to help offset the trip's cost. When we travel to New York City, we will be
014divided into groups called families made up of 10 to 12 students. Each student will have a buddy they must stay with at all times. Students pick their buddy, then roommates will be assigned forming the families. They then meet with their chaperones for pre-trip planning. Our senior adviser, Miss Zinc, will pair at least two chaperones with each family, ensuring that at least one chaperon has had experience traveling on prior senior trips. Each family will plan their own itinerary to see all the New York sites that they have to offer offer. Families in the past have visited art museums, Central Park, and Wall Street. We will have the opportunity to experience various cultures by going to visit Chinatown in Little Italy. By combining individual family tours with whole group activities, we will maximize our experience. Our class
015is very excited for the possibility of going to New York City. We are here to ask for permission to continue the tradition and represent Fairborn High School and the Fairborn community during an educational trap class trip to New York City. Thank you for your time. >> Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. >> Thank you, ladies. >> And then our final uh superintendent presentation tonight will be by Mr. Rodney Roberts on facilities. >> Yep. And for the meeting, >> uh just a quick update. Uh we'll start with the good stuff. Uh as you can see, uh things are happening back here behind us uh for the new middle school. uh talked with the folks at Peterson today. Uh storm lines are in, sewer lines are in, and they actually laid about 500 feet uh were the
016footers um this past week. Uh also uh the mason masoners are mobilized and you know once they get some more of the footers down, you'll probably start to see some block start happening uh pretty quickly. Um the other update that I want to give you tonight is on uh the demolition and abatement of Baker. Um, it's going slower than what we anticipated and I think there's a couple factors that factor into that. One is weather. Uh, it's been a wet it was a wet spring. Uh, I think that set them back a little bit and to be honest with you, I also think that they company might have underestimated how long it was actually going to take. Uh, we did have some snags in the abatement process early which also set us back. So, there's
017quite a few factors into that. Uh just last week uh the abatement company asked for asked for another month extension uh on their completion. So now we're looking at the end of October uh is when that's going to be. So uh in the grand scheme of things we we're not you know using that property and there's no timeline on it. So you know we granted the request and uh looks like it's going to be sometime towards the end of October. So that's all I have for you tonight. >> When I came when I came tonight by East is almost down. Yeah, I knew that they had started knocking. >> They they did a lot today. It's almost gone. >> Yep. >> So, >> yeah. >> Do you go that way? >> Yep. >> Okay. Any
018questions for me? Okay. Thank you. >> Thank you. Moving on, we have the uh treasures report made to approve uh the permanent appropriations for 2026 and approve the receipt for our monthly financial and receipts for our monthly financials. Uh do I have a motion and a second before we have conversation? >> So move. >> Is there a second? >> Second. It's been moved and seconded. Kevin, do you want to give us an update? >> Um, the we did the temporary appropriations earlier. These are almost exactly the same. Uh, the monthly financial report is just the abbreviated one.
