It is recommended that the board of education approve the written summary of the regular and special minutes for the meetings on June 3rd, 2025, June 17, 2025, June 24, 2025, and June 30th, 2025. >> Moved. >> Second. Moved by Miss Saxon, second by Mr. Griggsby. Roll call, please. >> Miss Saxon, >> yes. >> Mr. Griggsby, >> yes. >> Mr. Haynes, >> yes. >> Mrs. McCarthy, >> yes. >> Mr. Baka, >>
002yes. >> Welcome to the superintendent report. Okay, we have a very exciting update for all of you tonight and for our public who is in view. Uh we have with us tonight representatives from Hammond Construction as well as TDA who would like to do an update for the board on our construction progress. I would welcome Bill Sherman, Ryan, and Claire to podium. So, thank you for having us. We're very excited to speak about some of what has been happening as far as design activities and also to share um an animation as far as actually walking through and flying around the spaces which we are always very excited to share. So, I'm Claire Bank. Um, for anybody who I haven't met, I'm with TDA and I'm project manager for both projects. I don't want to we
003want to introduce. >> My name is Ryan Gazwell. I'm also with TDA and I'm the communications lead on the project. >> And I am Bill Sherman with Hammond Construction. >> So, as as you all know, um there is a new high school that's being designed right now and construction has begun. As far as early site works, you're starting to see things move around on the front of the site. That project is to address safety cons concerns in the district with the new building. There are a lot of safety upgrades that are there for the students and staff space concerns because the existing high school is undersized for the number of students and there's been a lot of creative use of that space over the years. And then excellence as far as a ton of opportunities
004for staff and students to use spaces in new ways with really new and exciting options for what will be available to them. >> So tonight we're going to tell you about some of the um design I guess activities that have been going on and that will continue to go on through November. The construction schedule and activities to date. and then we're going to have a bit of a design reveal as far as the overall high school. So, some of the activities that are ongoing and again will continue through November. We're having regular design team meetings. So, these are some images of some of the activities that happen there. We're doing things like reviewing different samples, selections, coordinating different items for the school, talking through logistics as we as we um look at activities that are
005on site and all of that. So, they're usually pretty active and engaging meetings. And then another slide. >> And then something that we did towards the end of the school year actually was a furniture fair. So, we worked with a lot of different vendors to bring in lots of different options of what you could put in spaces throughout the new building. Um, we had it there for a couple of weeks. I think on the professional development day, we had high school staff come through and test out and give us both um reactions live, but also options to put more detailed feedback into a survey so we could take that and really digest it in the office. And then students were also able to come through um particularly they were encouraged to come through on study
006halls but it was there throughout those couple of weeks for people to interact with and the survey was live throughout all of that time. So we're going through we're digesting that feedback. We're inputting um what we're finding from those and we're looking forward to sharing those results with staff and students in the fall here once they come back to school. So, I'm going to turn it over to Bill to talk about some of the >> Thank you, Claire. Well, I want to provide an update on the construction because while the PDA team has been very actively completing the design, um we have as planned started to phase in some of the construction. Um and you it's pretty obvious around campus. We we've been a bit disruptive now, but fortunately, we're able to take advantage of
007the summer recess to to put in place some new parking lots as well. And I'll show that graphically in a minute, but um just as a reminder on the overall timeline where we are here. You can see the green bar represents the early site development and we are in the throws of that now. And that really is the precursor to the building construction which is a new high school which will start in the spring, next spring. So, we're basically laying the groundwork literally and figuratively uh for the new building to commence next next spring. Um, concurrent to that, the orange bar represents the transportation and maintenance center that we are constructing. Um, and that construction is ongoing. We will complete that early next year and that will allow us to bake the existing bus garage
008and the existing maintenance building. Um, also as a precursor to construction. So it fits right in the fold of the exciting part, I guess, which is the big uh blue bar. That's the actual new high school construction. So that will kick off in spring of next year as soon as soon as the weather breaks. Um we'll be ready to go for that. We're progressing on track um with a completion summer of 28 and then that will be followed by the demolition of the existing high school. So, just to talk through things from an uh in terms of construction progress, I'm going to show you a series of aerial slides here. They were for the most part shot about a week and a half ago. So, there has been some progress uh in the last week
009and a half. We've had we've been blessed to have some good weather. Um this is the transportation and maintenance center site. So, we have laid out a lot of the um earthwork is all complete. Uh you can see in in the gray areas, those are the big stoned areas that that in essence represents a lot of the parking, bus parking to the north in the background and then driver parking in the foreground. And then separated from that, you can see the footprint of the building. And that's pretty evident now um because we have all the foundations just about complete um with a couple minor exceptions. You can see if you look real close, you can see we have an electric bolt. Um, and that's the new electric service to the to the building. Um, we
010have also crossed under Rangerway. So, most of you have possibly noticed there is a little bit of a speed bump unintentional. Um, that's a temporary patch that was done in a 24-hour um period. We had to tap in a new water line. We will uh we intend to still patch that in permanently here hopefully before school starts. Um, that'll be poured in with concrete. little closer look, you can start to see the shapes of the the spaces that are contained within the new transportation and maintenance center. And on the left hand side, which is the west side of the site, that's primarily the the transportation side of things, including a new wash bay for the buses. Um, right down the center will be office space and a break room for the drivers, staff, um, as
011well as locker rooms, changing rooms, and then to the right side or the east side, that's the maintenance side. So, there'll be a high base spaces for equipment um and for all the maintenance needs serving the overall district's needs. And I should say real quick, you'll start to see the building come out of the ground um as early as next week, we'll start to finally see some of that steel erection start to take place. And then by um midepptember, we should have that substantially complete. We're on track for that early next year turnover. So, pulling back. Um, and this this shot, I think, is courtesy of Ryan. Um, this was taken a little bit ago. Um, thank you, Ryan. Um, you can see the overall site. Uh, and it's a big site, but it's also
012going to be filled with a big building. Uh, the new high school is a very large building, but you can start to see the western parking lots, the new parking lots. They're in dirt there on this slide. Um, we've also, you can see all the grass in the front field on the on the west side or left side of the slide. um that was once um athletic fields that will house temporary parking. I'll show that in a in a little second here. Um and then the everything to the right uh that was formerly the student parking u primarily um that will be occupied by the new high school. A little closer look. Um we have started some of the mass earth work. We're out there right now tearing up the asphalt that um that comprise
013the uh student parking um that's being torn up. Now, we're waiting on some procurement of some storm water structures and then we'll start some more of the underground work. Um but this work will continue right through the fall and right into the winter. That's the planned um progress of all this work and and we feel good about the progress thus far. Um, in the foreground we have created, we've cleared uh those former athletic fields and we'll create some temporary parking there that will serve both the school district's needs because we displaced quite a bit of parking here. Um, but also, you'll see in a minute there, we're also going to park some of our construction staff there as well. Uh good news is before school starts we're able to um complete two new parking lots
014on the west side of the site. So adjacent to Ranger Way. Um those will be operational for start of school. Um replenishing some of the loss parking alleviating some of the pain. Um and then you can see in the foreground again you could see the in fact those lots were paved today. The base course asphalt was paved today. We still have a final course of asphalt that will be paved here um in the next next few days. And lastly, that front temporary lot um for the fall semester that will be available. It'll be stone only. It will not be asphalt, but for the fall semester, that will be available for school use for the whole fall semester or you know overflow parking, game day parking. I know what that's like. Um um but then uh
015next spring we'll take over the eastern half of that shown on the top of the screen uh for construction staff parking and we you know typically on a project like this we anticipate on a steady basis having about 100 to 120 workers on site every day. So that gives them place to park their vehicles and they'll cross the driveway um and enter the site from that arena. So that's just a high level overview. Turn it back over to CLA I guess. Cool. Yep. >> So, we know people are familiar with where the building is landing and everything, but before we start looking at this in motion, we thought it would be good to just review the overall layout. So, this diagram is showing the overall campus as it would um be in its final configuration.
016So, the yellow bar up towards the top left is the new transportation and maintenance center. The road running along the left is Ranger Way and then the road along the bottom is Bay Bridge. The large yellow mass in the front is the new high school and that's being built um where you're seeing all the earth's work happening right now in front of the existing high school. So then just a refresher on sort of the overall space layout. The largest little triangle there that you see is the main entry and we'll enter at that point into the um building on the animation. The sort of tan space is a bunch of the academic sort of core I guess subjects that are running towards and along closest to Banebridge. The pinkish red mass is music and performing
017arts center. And then the really bright pink and sort of that teal are athletic spaces that are reaching towards the stadium. And then on the second floor, the bulk of the second floor is really over the academic area. So that's that sort of goldish color, goldish tan, whatever I refer to it as in the last slide. Um, a lot of the other masses are just really tall spaces. So we have the gyms are tall, the pool space is tall, and the performing arts center. Again, you just they're big volumes. So that's why you're still seeing that color on that second floor diagram. And I'm going to turn it over to Ryan to talk a little bit about the animation process. >> Yeah. So, I mean, architects, designers, construction professionals, often we're looking at the building
018and plan, right? Top down. So, you just see the base of it. Um, but really modeling the whole thing in three dimensions is what really helps the team start to visualize those spaces and what it looks like inside of it. So I know over the last year really there's always attempts to see that but I think in a very concerted way over the last several months building out a 3D model has been imperative and then applying textures to see every single space to know you know what the colors look like what textures uh what materials are going to be used in all of those spaces is one way that we've really these 3D models and so we also use the 3D model to be able to communicate these plans out to the community as well.
019So, we're really excited to be able to show um kind of the design work at, you know, up to this point. But one thing that I love to do is we kind of engage with not only the district, you know, staff, the administration, teachers, and all of that as students as well. So, what we did this time was we sat down with four students from 9th, 10th, and then an incoming 12th and then a graduating senior who had just graduated and showed them the animation for the first time. I put a mic there in their faces and I wanted to capture their responses like right from the jump to see what they said and I thought it was so cool. I mean it you can't necessarily hear it in their voices but like their jaws
020had drops when seeing it and it was hard to kind of separate like wow my old school doesn't have this my new school has this just looks really amazing. So we cut together the animation with some of their guidance and voices over top of it so you can kind of hear their responses in real time. Somewhat humorous as always as you would expect. Um but really instructive is can kind of think about how you know incoming students, new students, existing students will really utilize this space. So those were our four victims I mean students uh who we spoke with and then really played an early version of the animation for them to just get that response and then cut it in over top. So, huge thanks to kind of pulling the kids together for that
021effort. And at this point, um, we'll just go ahead and play the animation. [Music] >> This is massive compared to the uh old school. >> I'm just happy it's going to be bigger for the upcoming students. everyone will be a lot happier. >> I really like how big it is. I really like the brightness of it and how it's like more modern. The windows, more lighting seems amazing. I do like how like the roads go in the back to like get in the back and there's two separate parking lots. >> I'm just happy that there's going to be a lot more parking and being closer will definitely help, you know, not having to walk. Having the like closeness to the um high school from Banebridge, it just makes it a better area space. I'd say
022>> I feel like it's going to give Rididgeville a better perspective and people are going to look like, "Oh, that's a really nice high school." It's honestly incredible for these upcoming students. I wish I had it. I love kind of how it like there's different things coming off the school that makes it kind of more appealing to the eyes, makes it look more cool, I guess. reminds me of the uh Enrach entrance. So, I like kind of like that same energy that we're going for here. >> I do see how you guys kind of like implemented like the circle that we have already. I think the circle, it adds a lot to the front. I'm very thankful that you guys are having a new school. >> This is really important because I have nieces and
023nephews and they will likely go here as well and I'm just happy for them. And not just them, but everyone that's going to get to experience the school. >> I definitely love the entrance. It gives more of like an open space. Oh wow. I really like the designs on the floor. That's awesome. >> Open dining room. Kind of like a college space almost. Gives like the same energy of it. >> It almost looks like a college campus. Very spacious. And I love that there's different tables and there's high tables like an actual cafeteria. >> I love the top part like little kind of balconyish kind of thing. There's literally couches and high chairs. those little booths from like a restaurant or something. So, honestly, this is amazing. That dining space looks amazing. >> Windows really
024nice. Gives a lot of light into it. >> Honestly, the windows are going to make it so much better. You're going to feel so much more like happy to be there. I love all of the colors and like the honor of our blue and gold spirit. The school spirit is big at Bridgeville. So having this to show our pride is much needed. >> You know, they say you don't have any Ranger gear and you need some, you know, go get some at school. >> Now, when we go into the science space, it's more of it seems like a lectureish space, which I personally like for the more of an integrated teaching style, especially in like a science space where like you're constantly doing either projects or working on like more hand stuff. I love the
025windows and it really giving the school a nice like bright, clean, modern look. >> Having this amount of space for everyone, especially with the increased in size is really needed. >> The opening and closing of like different classrooms being separate, whatever. I think that's very nice because it gives the teachers the option to separately teach or teach like all as a class. >> You know, if you have free time, you can bring friends here, study, talk, whatever. And I like having separate little rooms where you can have a quiet environment to, you know, study. You know, having multiple windows that let in actual light would uh definitely improve the mood of everyone being there. >> It would be amazing to be able to study outside in the sun, get some fresh air. An outside courtyard
026would be very nice, scenic, calming spot for the students. >> It would be probably one of the more popular attractions. >> I agree. It gives you more of a classroom like feel but just with the students that are all doing like the same things. And I love how everything is set up. >> A lot of people I talk to do some sort of art. >> That is really cool. I love the big open window. It could give endless imagination. This is a lot better like space-wise and lighting wise. I love that space so much. It just is a very open community of it. >> I actually like the big staircase that they have going down to the cafe. I think it'd be really nice to just sit there and sit or lay if they're tired.
027>> Honestly, I could see myself laying there. Ranger Spirit is one of a big part of our school. One of the things that the broadcast team loves to do is the behind the scenes of the game. And it really gives them their own space. I mean, it's like a stadium. It's like any other gym. It should be like this. >> I love the booth view down there. You really get to see all the game movement, all the team spirit movement, all the bleacher movement. >> The bleachers is definitely more seating space. And if the visual scoreboard is there, I think that would definitely make it more appealing for everyone. It actually has windows. >> I love the openness having the bleachers each being decently long. really an open space needed for this kind of sports
028for volleyball, basketball, everything needed inside the gymnasium. >> The dividers, that's great for like more variety of things to use in that space. I mean, I really like the upstairs area. People like to run. People could probably come here after school and run in the winter instead of the track. I think it's a great addition. This would definitely help not just for recreational use, but it would help the swim team here because they have to go to the YMCA just to practice or whatever when now they can do it here. >> Honestly, this is an amazing addition, the swimming pool. Like, this could be an option as swimming during school. >> So, this is huge for anyone who wants to swim and the swim team. >> For them to have the honor of having their
029sport in the school at more of like an accessible viewpoint is just outstanding. The swimming pool will be great for in general for almost everyone there. >> I think I would enjoy that. I think it would be nice for some students that enjoy doing that kind of stuff. >> This is almost for every entrance, all the glass. It's I love it. Gives a more open energy, open vibe. I'm in choir and drama. So, I think the drama club currently is growing and currently bigger than the football team. So having this performing arts center is just much needed I'd say for all of those in choir band orchestra and drama. >> People that currently do theater, band, music, choir, whatever would definitely appreciate having more space. >> I love the grand entrance. >> Students would definitely
030appreciate an auditorium cuz it's a literal theater inside of our school. >> Honestly, it just gives off a better vibe for people in the show. I think it makes them more confident in being in a better area to perform. And wow, this auditorium is huge. Really nice. >> It seems like you It's like a movie. Like, it literally looks like something you'd see in a movie. I mean, it's it's huge. And it looks like a theater in like Cleveland or something. Like, I don't know. This looks amazing. >> This is awesome for all programs in kind of like the performing arts. >> The marching band is one of our biggest community activities. They play at every football game, at every big event at our school. >> Oh my, this is really nice for all the
031band. >> They deserve their own area for fun stuff that they do. You'll never catch me on a stage in front of that many people, but speaking for the people that would be on that stage, it really gives them almost like Hollywood feeling of being in front of all of them. And that big stage is a nice touch. very nice school that I think almost all of our classmates would very much so enjoy. >> Everyone is going to love the difference that this school is going to make. >> It's literally built like a college campus. Everyone's going to be happier with more space and so many more chances to be great here. I feel >> our community is really so strong. I'm very proud to be a Ranger and go to that school. [Applause] [Music]
032Wow. >> Wow. >> I would clap for the kids, but they're not here to hear that. But >> that was worth the wait. [Music] >> Yeah, that was >> can just advance to the next. Definitely worth waiting. >> Yeah, that's amazing. Absolutely amazing. >> I mean, it's really constitutes the work that again the administration that all of the hours of collaboration that have happened to make that possible and I mean stretching back to all the efforts of community members um to bring this about is really it's an amazing group effort that brought that to bear. So um we're super proud to share that with you. Again about eight and a half minutes long. We loved that coming out from the students perspective and kind of hearing and seeing that. Um this material is um in
033the district's hands as it were and we have plans over the next couple of days to release this the broader community. Get it up on the construction website as well so that we can share that out with the broader community with parents with everyone who's interested in seeing that. Um so with that, you know, we'll also say like um we'll continue to provide updates on the website, all the things that Bill had talked about and improvements that Hannah is making to that site as construction progresses. Um obviously the animation that will be added up to the website and then look forward to having everyone join us on August 15th um for the back to school bash and then the groundbreaking as well which kind of kicks off so much of the that that work for
034the school. So, it's super exciting to be a part of that, to be able to present and share that. So, with that, are there any questions for this team um coming off of what you've seen? >> Just amazing. I love the touches, the details, the the ranger cry that you can see through there, the flooring, the that light in the cafeteria is still amazing. I just wow. >> Can you speed up the time table? be here before you know it. >> That's fantastic. We appreciate all the work that it's absolutely >> Thank you. Thank you. >> Thank you guys very much. >> Appreciate your time. >> Absolutely. I think one other thing that I'll add to uh their presentation is that the Hammond team today presented some information on upcoming engagement opportunities both for the
035community as well as for our students. So, we're working through right now obviously the first one being the groundbreaking, but we would anticipate over the course of the next two years um having lots of different events where the community, the board, the staff, the students can engage with this entire construction project. So, we're very excited for those events as well. And now, >> right, uh announcements, Miss McCarthy, >> I do. Um, so just to piggyback on what Ryan said and Superintendent Cacerio, we do have the Ranger rally on Friday, August 15th, 4:30 to 6:30 um, right out front of the current high school. Um, we will be opening the um, time capsule from Willox Elementary that was sealed in the year 2000. Can you believe it's been 25 years? It's kind of hard to believe.
036And then, of course, the groundbreaking ceremony um, for the new school. So, that'll be a fun event. We encourage everyone to come out and participate. I wanted to bring to everyone's attention as well um the need to reach out to our representatives and our um in Columbus uh Senator Manning and Representative Manning. Um there is uh a bill going forward to override the vetos that the governor um three of the vetos specifically that the governor um vetoed in the um provisions that the governor vetoed in the house bill 96. Um those are items 55,65 and 66. um those will substantially hurt our financial um stability in the district if those if that veto is overridden. So we encourage you to reach out to our representatives and make your voices heard so that they understand and
037know the impact and um you know what that'll mean for North Ridge City Schools. The um those three provisions are in regards to the 20 mil floor which is very difficult to understand and explain but um that leaves us um with no mechanism to respond to inflationary costs. If that um provision is vetoed, it will pro prohibit um renewing our existing substitute levy um potentially causing us to go back um and ask taxpayers for more money and costing the taxpayers more money because we can't um get home uh homestead and roll back uh new levies. So, that's an issue. Um, and so we just like encourage you to to reach out to our representatives. >> And to piggyback what Miss McCarthy said, it's imperative. This video was amazing. Now imagine that building with not enough
038teachers in it. All the collaborative space, the auditorium, all the electives, all the extras that we're currently providing our students could literally go away in the blink of an eye if they override the governor's veto. He had enough oversight and wisdom, thank goodness, to take a look at what was being passed to say, "Let's slow this train. Let's put together a committee of people that understand school funding and let's address this in a productive way." Because that's not currently what's being done. Um taxpayers already see relief in the way that the levies are put together. The initial levy started at over 11% and due to growth and whatnot, it's down to less right around 7%. So they already see relief in the very nature of the way these are set up currently. If they override
039these three things, we're going to lose tens of millions of dollars almost literally overnight. Um you can imagine what that looks like. And it would be heartbreaking to open a brand new school and have to cut things that now I got an auditorium that's sitting empty. um athletics, all those things that are extra. Those are right at the top of the list that we have to look at when it comes to cuts because we got to do everything we can to maintain curriculums. So, it's not just that we encourage you, it's imperative. They cannot override these three sections of this current legislation because every school district in the state of Ohio was suffering with no means of going back. They're going to force it back into the very communities they're claiming to want to help
040by saving money and we're going to be forced to go back and ask for more money more often. And then that puts us in a inevitable position of hoping that the community sees value in what we do and understand that these decisions were made at Columbus and not by us. So again, to our community as a whole, we need you to get out there. Call our senator. Call our House of Representative Manny's. Let them know that we don't support this. Let's take a close look at how we can really address school funding in a way that's fair and productive uh and truly takes into consideration every single student that this is going to impact. President Back, if I could just add a note of thanks to our communication supervisor, Brookong uh with David Prit, our
041assistant superintendent, put together some very helpful information for our community uh that was shared this evening prior to the board meeting. um that can easily be duplicated in terms of some of these talking points that would be important to share. Um those people who are online who don't leave it live in North Ridgeville, this impacts you too. Um and I would encourage you to determine who you need to reach out to with the same information regarding your local school district who is also in jeopardy of losing lots of operating dollars. That could certainly be useful. Uh so please do take advantage of that email uh which does provide lots of information to help you. >> Is it also going to be posted on our website? >> Uh we can certainly post it on our website
042as well. Absolutely. >> That's a great for people who don't receive our emails. >> Yeah, that's a great video again. Can we go back to happy? >> All right. Here's the opportunity for hearing of the public. If anybody is in attendance this evening that would like to address the board of education, now's your chance. If you could come to the podium, sir, sign in if you have not already and state your name and address. My name is uh Tim Cheryl. Uh 71 road. I'm a part-time resident here. Um, I also went to school when Will Cox was over there in the 70s and the hallway was so small you rub shoulders. So over, you know, my kids are grown grown, but I do have grandkids that should be uh going here. Um, and all that's
043good and stuff, but you know, keeping the children safe at the school. So, one of my concerns is, and I don't know if I'm at the right place, um, to discuss this just briefly, um, I've tried to talk with Sullivan, the principal, I believe, on the phone because it's safe for me and him to keep our distance. uh with a legal guardian of child and someone came into the school um with CPS and erased our names from the school system period. No, you know, BS about it. They literally erased the name and came to pick the children up, the child up. They didn't even know who we was. I'm the stepfather. Um, and the father brought someone in and even though we had court papers, just erased the name. They didn't even know that the
044mother even existed. And we said, "Wait a minute. She has enrolled the child from the child's was 8 years old at the time. This just happened recently." Um, and um, you know, she's enrolled the child in school every year. So, how did her name get erased? And uh you would think common sense before any legal paperwork was, you know, presented that Mr. Sullivan would have said, "Common sense, let us contact a third party because with everything that's happened with that, now I'm in a legal custody battle. I've already paid $12,000 to an attorney. Um we would have just got to take the child home." That's part of the, you know, this this problem. Um, now we're in a huge legal custody battle with the father, which um he's got his own problems. But anyways, um
045but I don't know why he he would not contact the third party and say, "Wait a minute. We have someone here allegedly um with court papers that was not updated. um are we supposed to release this child with this father? And even though we had updated court papers, he proceeded to let the child go. Called the next day and said, "Oh, we made a mistake." And I said, "Right, you made a mistake." Um and um so we've had some certain words. So Mr. Sullivan goes to court and lies under oath and then says, "We don't know how this happened." Yeah, you do. You know exactly how it happened. So, we're trying to get to the bottom of that. Uh because if it could happen to us, I can come in here in a suit with
046a briefcase with someone else and present some paperwork and say, "We want to take this child. This is the father." whether I make up the paperwork on my computer or go to Staples. Um why wouldn't somebody contact the third party the other parent and say hey what is going on here? So it's become a huge problem. So, I don't know who I exactly maybe can get some names or number or who we could talk to because we have uh uh legal counseling going on right now for a lot of different things and this is a huge I believe a violation um or rights and our child's rights. >> Okay. So, what will happen now sir is you provided your contact information including a phone number when you signed in. Did you sign in? Uh I
047didn't sign this one. I signed the one outside. >> Can I have all your contact information? Yes. >> Okay. So what will happen? The pertinent parties will reach out to you. Okay. >> We'll have conversations with you uh that can address this. Okay. >> To actually and how we address these type of issues and how we work through all of it. >> Um so I would expect a phone call in the next couple days. >> Okay. >> Um to address this issue, but >> it's become a huge problem with what had happened. The one of the biggest problems too was that he lied in court. and said he does not know how this happened. He does not know who signed off, who did this. Um um so it's a problem. And being confronted, he just
048he doesn't want to release who took the parents name off of the computer. >> So just to make you aware, there's protocols in place in regards to documentation that's provided from the courts. It's not just a matter you go to Staples and print off something. There's stamps and stuff that it's >> Well, I understand because I have a legal document stating from the court that we are the legal guardian of the child. And why did not when we came to pick up the child and we showed him our paperwork and he denied it even though it was updated. You know why? No. So, this didn't happen all in one day. Okay. the other parent um she was gone for two months um getting some help and um no drugs or anything like that um when
049she came. So this happened while she was gone. >> So then why didn't he try to contact and say wait a minute we need to try to contact this parent to make sure this is happen. >> So again let us reach out to you okay um because there's all kinds of things that factor into this and what conversations we're allowed to have. Uh so >> in the next day or so you'll get a phone call. >> Okay. >> Um >> to explain that to you, answer questions that can be answered based on what we have right >> on file. >> Mr. Sullivan is just trying to make this go away >> again. Let us reach out to you and >> I'm going to resign this. Is that okay? >> Any question? >> Yes. >> How's
050the child? >> How old? >> No. How's a child doing? >> Well, he's living with this father that has worked since 2016. I own my own trucking company. Okay. I reside here and the Florida Keys. I go back and forth. Gotcha. >> Um, she works in surgery at the Cleveland Clinic. >> Okay. >> Um, so the child is with the father. He is a drug user. >> All right. As sir, at this point I got you. No problem. I just want this to be addressed because me and Mr. Sullivan >> are having fitness because he needs to man up. >> Okay, >> is what he needs to do >> and he needs to come clean of who did this because if it happened to us it's very easy for it to happen to any party
051will reach out to you and have a conversation in regards to this. >> That's not a problem. >> Thanks for listening. >> Of course. And I love Bridgeville and I do like their schools.
