So, I want to say again, thank you for everybody for your efforts. Uh, I see progress outside the door here on the new building. That's always good to see and I know we'll hear probably more from that here in the future, but looks like that's going to be on task and on time. So, we look forward to that continuing. Uh, we have the upcoming sporting events to get started. We'll have the summer. You know, this is really actually a very busy time for the schools if we think it's kind of a downtime. Everybody's very, very
005busy right now getting ready. I look forward to everybody and their that I'm finished. Anything else for the >> Oh, just one thing. We have the B.

Yep. >> That's really early. >> July 31st. >> It's early. Am I correct? It's a little bit early. About a week early. >> About a week early. >> Okay. Anything else? That sounds like good news. That means Are they practicing? >> Oh, yep. >> Okay. >> About six or seven. 6:30. 6:30. Thank you. >> Very much. Very
006good. Thank you everybody. Do we have any visitors? >> Mr. President, I have one person signed up to speak, Mr. Andy Wilson. >> Andy, it's all yours. >> Please use the microphone so we can capture it on the video. Um, thank you members of the board for allowing me. I'll just give you a brief update on the voucher lawsuit. The judge issued uh decisions. She issued uh summary judgments in favor of three of the five counts against the lawsuit. Uh she issued these orders on June 24th. So that was a day of great joy for those of us that are involved in this. And I like to thank the board again for your continued uh support of the vouchers hurt Ohio lawsuit. And it's even more vital that that support continues because we now need
007to have overwhelming numbers of people uh speaking out on this issue because as it goes through the appeals process and to the Supreme Court, the weight of public opinion will be very important. So uh the counts that the judge ruled on are count one which uh rest on a single letter in the uh constitution which is a a system and she ruled that because there are multiple systems that it's in violation of article 6 section two of the constitution. uh she ruled on count two uh for the hurting of the public schools by diverting tax dollars uh away from the public school system. Therefore, it does not create a a thorough and efficient system. She also ruled on count five or count four rather. Uh and and this one to me was, you know, I
008don't see how you could rule against this one that no religious sect or sect shall have any exclusive right to or control of any funds of this state. And there's millions of dollars going to Catholic schools, Lutheran schools, Christian schools, Jewish schools, you know, any any denomination you can think of that has schools is getting state money from the from there. Uh so um she ruled she didn't well she ruled she denied the motion uh on both parties for the discrimination issue. Uh she said there's there wasn't sufficient evidence on either side to to warrant that. And then uh she ruled in favor of the state on the equal protection clause of the constitution which is in uh article one of the state constitution. So um our steering committee meets next week and we'll be
009discussing whether we're jo will appeal that portion of the ruling or not. But uh overall we only needed to win on one count to have the vouchers declared uncon unconstitutional and we got three of the five counts. So we're quite happy with that outcome. Especially we were we were half expecting her to order a full trial on it. So for her to come out and issue summary judgement uh was great news for us. So thank you. >> Thank you Andy. >> Yeah. So Andy, just to follow up, when they issue a summary judgement for people who may not understand, that means they she's chosen to say there was enough evidence >> being presented that there wasn't a need for a trial in her opinion. >> Correct. >> Okay. >> Just wanted to make sure that
010clear summary judgement the choice voucher program unconstitutional, but she stayed the ruling because she knew it was going to go to appeal. >> So the appeal process starts immediately is my understanding. >> As soon as they uh did it on the court the uh appeals court docket. >> Okay. And again for public opinion opin you know no news it takes several years for that to do you think >> shouldn't Okay. >> Okay. >> Thank you for coming. Thank you so much. >> You're welcome. And again thank you for your support. >> We'll continue it >> Mr. President. That concludes public comments. >> Thank you. Uh next we have the uh treasur recommendation. Before we do, do we have a move and a second to accept to approve the receipt for the monthly? Did I read
011that correctly? I want to make correctly. Yep. >> Financial report for May 2025. Do I have a motion? >> So moved. >> Second. >> Moved and seconded.
