009the high school biomed courses to create a fully articulated biomed pathway for our cbor students um Mrs Bel has just a brief on description of some of the exciting things that have been occurring in her class this year was some pictures projected there so um in my class the students the first part they learn is how to collect and analyze some medical data they learn how to take Vital Signs such as temperature heart rate blood pressure and respiration rate so they learn how to do those things and then they start to use that information along as learning about symptoms of patients on how to diagnose patients and how medical professionals do that um then they start to learn about infectious diseases and um how they spread and examine the structure of the nervous Sy St

010um so they ultimately at one point get to do a dis dissection which for middle school students is pretty exciting for them these are a few pictures yeah of a sheep brain sorry and this is um some pictures just for my classroom first semester a few of the things that students were able to partake in and the grant will be amazing to help build the program and allow them to have a lot of wonderful opportunities so um thanks to all I just want to mention again that Mrs sampo did a lot of work today or for this and I'm really grateful to her too and mrso uh honestly it was a class that we knew a lot of our kids were interested in and sadly they don't had medical experience at the middle school and

011started at the high school so anytime we can give them career experience uh to know that's my pathway or even vice versa that's not for me um it's great our Middle School are still exploring that we got lucky that Mrs Bell who has always been a facist teacher for us had the right certification and just was eager to jump right in even when we didn't have um money for the full Supply so um she's going to feel like she won the lottery and rightfully so she's put in the work and as we worked on budget this week it was one of those never have I ever never have I ever a ordered a bucket of sheep bread I had to stop her because my assistant processes all of those orders and I said okay tell

012me how they're coming what the you know I I just envisioned when it when I saw a bucket of them made me a little nervous and planning a new Middle School the architect asked me can she just share like the staff refrigerator [Laughter] you talk about the new Middle School being closed door will like thees and stuff help or that and I I work school so we talked a little bit so hopefully building right across the you know students come and see the opportun they have school with theam amazing CL will again congratulations to you and your [Applause] team good evening good evening mine will not be as excited as that I'm sorry have no music tonight feel a little guilly sometimes in terms of a couple months and not doing the monthly Financial reports

013and like they're nice and boring I love boring so um just highlight I expect the audience or the board to be able to read this you have a copy in your board agenda and also a front there our receipts were right on target for the month of January income tax which is always a big variable was strong and came right in projection overall the receipts are below projections for the year to date by 1 of 1% so we are right on top of Reven on expenditures the expenditures were up a little bit for January our salaries and benefits are trending above projections not at dangerous levels it's something to keep track of we over halfway through the year in terms of we just watched that the purchase Services were significantly above projections this month we

014made a payment for Green County ESC 371,000 and as for special needs that contract is estimated a lot in the last five years and probably will continue to do so so over expenditures are above projections by 3% ring cash balances ended at 31 and they projected to end the year 32 to4 million R we're still in a strong stable financi position looking at you I know um in terms of that sheet just tracks it out month by month uh again these are my projections and they're updated every month not a lot of treasurers do that a lot of them do it by quarterly or annually I track it month by month I put in my best guess what they're going to be track that and that's what the fins show so roughly down there thing

015I the main thing I want to present on tonight was the state budget um in terms of the governor has given out his recommendations for the state budget which includes money for public education the office of budget management did simulations on this that is what we have up there they once copies I have but it's interesting in terms I've been doing this forly 35 years and the simulations on this usually are some districts will benefit some districts won't some are according to wealth some according to Poverty Urban rural Etc but looking at this budget for Fairborn third from the top first year we'd see an increase of $440,000 but the second year we'd see a decreas in of roughly 495,000 and I made copies on here of Green County and Montgomery County and the simulations

016show that roughly 450 to 500 districts would see a decrease in in in their funding which makes no sense this is the first round this is the governor's recommendations the Ohio house still has to put forward their budget the Ohio Senate still has to put forward their budget and then the three of them will reconcile so they talk about implementing the fair funding uh proposal but they're funding it at the 20 2022 levels the implementation usually is at the current level not on level three four years ago any in terms of the state has to have a budget in place by ju one that every year except for two years ago they acted on July 3rd so you'll still see more interest from the House and Senate when it comes to this any questions thank

017you next is the treas yes yes yes next we go to the administrative reports runs on I'd like to draw our attention to um a couple of special resignations and retir um recognizing Vick hle uh requesting resolution tribute for 34 years in education with 18 in Fairborn City schools that is a wealth of knowledge that is going to be very sadly lost um hopefully she'll support us in other ways and um Katherine CHF who is has been a first grade teacher for 35 years all in Fair warn City Schools so that is absolutely incredible both ladies um all of your uh service to this District does not go unnoticed thank you I pr M brownie yes M land yes web yes Mr steer gamma beta chapter um of Mary L 19 four pages of for
