001I'd like to call the September 22nd uh board of education meeting for Northwest order. We could all stand. >> I pledge allegiance 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. >> Thank you. Mr. Chville >> here. >> Mr. Ginglesburgger >> here. >> Mrs. Barky here. Mrs. Gear here. Mr. Wy >> here. >> Any additions or deletions to the agenda? >> Approved. Uh student achievement update. and the primary school positive behavior intervention system which is called EDS is being fully implemented. The students are earning bucks for being safe, responsible, respectful throughout the day. They can save those bucks and purchase fun items at the PBS store. The annual walkon took place on September 12th. The students
002worked hard to get as many laps as possible around the gym and in total they traveled over 100 miles in only 15 minutes. Students are looking forward to the 50th day of school Johnny Apple seed day as well as other fun educational activities this month. Once again, all fourth grade students had the amazing opportunity to participate in swimming lessons at the canal from YMCA. We're always thrilled to be able to offer STS and students this opportunity to learn and or perfect their swimming skills. Many students say this is one of their favorite things about fourth grade since students also began participating in win and this is stands for what I need. Each grade level has a specific 30 minute period during the day where they work in groups with their teacher along with an additional
003teacher on intervention and or enrichment lessons. The wind time uses current data and assessments to create specific instruction for individual students. These students, these lessons are divi designed to help each student grow and achieve in individual academic goals. The middle school seventh grade students in Ryan Deutton's class um which is called new design and modeling are learning basics the basics of design process and how innovation impacts their everyday lives. The course was added this year under the umbrella of Project lead. The project lead the way. The PLTW is a national curriculum provided national curriculum provider aimed at introducing school age students to the elements of engineering and STEM sciences. Mr. Duck will continue to work with eth graders later this year teaching the automation and robotics course that has been offered at the middle school
004for the past several years. Middle school actors and drama enthusiasts are lined up and ready for the upcoming fall play time out which will take place in November at Puffenburger Hall. In preparation for what has become annual tradition, middle school students are already preparing for the big night. Under the direction of Mr. Busby, students in grades 6 through 8 will take the stage on Friday, November 14th and November 15th. And at the high school, the class of 2026 began their senior year in a meaningful and memorable way with a special event called Senior Sunrise, followed by a day of giving back to the community through their annual sword program, which stands for student work outreach day. The day began at dawn as senior gathered in the upper parking lot to watch the sunrise together, symbolizing
005a new beginning and the start of their final year of school. Students shared donuts, laughter, and memories as they looked ahead to the year uh the year to come. Immediately following the sunrise celebration, students launched into a day of handon community service throughout Canal Holton and the village of Clinton. Their included preparing for Clinton's upcoming Apple Fest, landscaping updates to the city hall, the senior center, and the safety center, painting the boardwalk, weeding and sprucing up local parks and public areas, and laying a couple yards of mulch. The initiative allowed students to take pride in their community while working together as a class. The day concluded with a welldeserved generously provided by Mayor Schultz. The school wants to give a giant thank you to all the staff, city officials, and community partners who helped make
006this day possible. The students lead group set the example this past week as Northwest High School participated in Start with Hello Week, a national initiative aimed at creating a more inclusive and connected school environment. Each each day featured activities designed to promote kindness, connection, and a sense of belonging for every student at Northwest. The week's theme and daily activities were as follows. Monday, everyone's welcome. Students were greeted with messages of inclusion and positivity as the set the tone for the week of unity. On Tuesday, it was compliment pins. Students received and shared uplifting messages by clothes to backpacks, lockers, and clothing, spreading smiles throughout the day. And Wednesday was wear green day. Students and staff wore green to symbolize unity and solidarity. uh joining thousands nationwide in showing support for inclusive school communities on Thursday.
007>> That's why we don't [Laughter] share your story. The school focused on listening and learning as students shared stories, voices, and personal experiences that highlighted what makes Northwest more welcoming and respectful. Friday was high five day. The week wrapped up with a burst of positive energy as students and staff gave high fives and friendly greetings to promote school spirit and connection. Start with hello week served as a perfect as a perfect follow up to the store community service day reinforcing Northwest's commit commitment to both external community involvement and internal community building. Through both efforts students demonstrated that leadership begins with kindness, connection, and action. Thanks. Do we have high school presentations? >> Okay, boy. I'm glad you didn't do that. How would I follow up then? >> Okay, so just a couple things. First, our
008phone policy. Uh I I meant when I said I've talked to a couple of you about this, our phone policy seems to be working and we're very appreciative of our administrators and faculty and staff working together and mostly for the students and the school community for their support in making this work. There are reports that our our halls are a little bit more lively. Uh cafeteria during lunches are a little bit more lively, but I mean that that's that's a good they're actually talking to each other and that's good. So, we're thankful for for all of our great students uh and and all of those who are, you know, they're following the rules and we appreciate that and we hope that that continues throughout the year. Next thing I want to talk about facilities update.
009I I know I talked about this. I just want to make sure that that's out there. We're being as transparent as possible that we're making plans to move forward. Uh one to replace our turf by midmay. That's the goal. Midmay of 26. Uh the process going to be far less than than doing our high school building and our annex renovation. It'll take far less time. What they're telling us is that what we're hearing is that it'll be two months. Uh it'll be done by we're hoping by June of 26. So plenty of time for uh 26 27 school year sports activities to get to get we'll have that finished. Um, next thing our core group continues to meet, speaking of the renovation and the addition, we're meeting with Regency and Arist monthly to go through
010that. Right now, we're we're just discussing not only our technology that's going to go into our renovation and go into our new buildings, which is very important, make sure that's done correctly. We're also uh discussing budgetary items. See, we're still trying to live within our budget and we're really taking a taking a closer look, diving into the so to really see where we can we're saving money and we feel like we can. We're going to be we're going to be well under budget by the time this gets going and we still believe that even being under budget, we're going to have something that everyone is going to be very proud of. So, we're excited about that. Few parents have asked me, you know, when are we going to meet? Like, I've met with parents and
011coaches and and anyone really who wanted to uh go over those plans of where we're at and ask we're going to meet again. We probably will. I don't have a definite date, but I'm going to shoot from midocctober to late from late October to uh just give an update of where we are. Uh if anyone would like to see the plans, we do have it on our website. If you click on I know I'm going to you guys tell me if I'm right with this. If you click on our website, go to about us and click on facilities project, you can see everything laid out. It's pretty detailed. We appreciate for their help with that. We still plan on breaking around right around late January, early February. That's still in the works. Uh this project,
012we're hoping if it takes a year, it'll be all done. Pieces of parts will be done in phases before that. Entire project uh a little after February of 27. So, we're going to be very busy for the next year and a half for sure. The last thing I wanted to talk about, I think, yeah, it is the last thing. So, we're talking about just wanted to give a heads up. We're doing uh vision and mission statements for the district. Uh trying to get about 30 stakeholders, people who are involved in the school district. Um we're looking at our date as October. I think it was October 23rd. I've had a smaller core group Deborah and I, Mr. Hman, Mr. OSA got together just to lay out a plan of who to invite and what that
013day would look like. It's going to be October 23rd and I'll reach out to our board very soon about that. But it's time to do that. We haven't done a vision and mission statement work in probably how many years has it been? 12 15 >> 14 years been a long time. So we're we're trying to we're trying to do that before we start looking at strategic plans and The hope is we get this done uh we get it worked on by the end of October and then uh because of the holidays we'll wait till we come back from spring and I'll have Lori Sandell come in to facilitate that much as she did before to work on strategic plans when we're involving um teachers we're involving administrators he was a school board meeting with her
014once again um meeting with community members parents uh having a survey go out and all that information collected coming up with uh with our strategic plans that'll take us through the end of the 2829 school year. So, we're excited about that. We're be very busy uh this year, but it's a good busy and and we uh I'm excited about the opportunity of developing new goals for our school district to take us for the next three starting next fall. So, uh we'll have a lot more to say about that as we go. All right. Lastly, we had there are some ballot issues that discovered. So, I'll hand that over to Mr. Toniel and Mr. Park if you want to talk about that. >> Yeah. So, Julie had contacted me yesterday. >> Yeah. >> Yep. Um she
015was looking at sample ballots um on the Stark County Board of Elections website and there was a section of Lawrence Township 4 that had been uploaded the wrong sample ballot. It was a Jackson Township. There's a section of war for that is Jackson local schools. So they had the tax levy for Jackson as well as uh the board members on their sample ballot. Um I think both of us ended up calling this morning um and the issues been resolved. No ballots were actually affected by it. It was just the samples that were uploaded to certain people. So uh we just want to make sure that we got that out there that it's should not be any more issues on there. If there are uh anybody notices, contact board of elections. They were really quick to
016take care of that this morning. Julie to add. >> Okay. >> Thank you guys. That's all I have. All right. Uh recognition of visitors to determine agenda related items they wish to discuss. >> Okay.

These are expenses where a purchase order was not in place prior to the service. Need a motion. So move Any discussion on that? >> What
017is Screencastify? >> Screencastify I believe is software licensing to run the screens in the >> Screencastify is a platform where people can record their lessons so students can observe them later. We record training videos for other staff. It's just it's a very flexible platform. that we use quite a bit across the board and that's a yearly it is a yearly license. That's correct. Since I got the floor, I just remind I can do that. >> Certainly. >> Any other questions? >> Okay. Roll call. >> Mr. Till. >> Yes. Mr. Gindlesburgger. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Barky. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Gearhart. >> Yes. Mr. Wy. >> Yes. >> Um, next item is addendum number two. This is adjusting again our estimated resources and our appropriations for the year. These are only for the general fund and
018have come about through my work. the next item which is the four-year forecast. Um these are adjustments from what was previously uh approved in June. >> Need a motion. And so is this is this is in addition to >> yeah these are just adjustments to what we've previously >> so resources would be an extra >> yes >> 299 >> an extra 299 and >> and the other way would be >> we're reducing our appropriations down >> okay so the benefits actually went up the salaries went down Yes. >> No. I'm sorry. >> We're increasing the amount that we're going to spend on salaries for the year and decreasing the amount that we're going to have to spend on benefits for the year. >> Yep. >> Yes. >> So, it's a a net of 226, >>
019right? >> Lower. >> Correct. >> Anyone else? Roll call. >> Mr. Mr. Tohill. >> Yes. >> Mr. Gindlesburgger. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Barky. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Gearhart. Yes. >> Mr. Wy. >> Yes. >> Any presentation. Uh my next item is recommendation to approve the four-year forecast as presented. So moved. >> I meant to ask you this when you called me. I asked about four or five. Why four instead of five? >> So sorry. Um, so what happened in the state budget this year is that they included in the budget bill a change to the reporting. Um, it's moving from a fiveyear to a fouryear, but they also called it a three-year, but when you look at it, what we're really moving to is a fouryear. Um, they've also changed the times of year that
020they want this submitted. So it used to be November and May and now it's going to be August and February except this year they gave us an extension because they Yeah. So there we are. Um those are and for right now the format is basically the same format that you've seen in the past um with the different categories, but they have indicated that they're putting a work group together and there could be changes next school year to what we have to compile and and submit to us. >> Okay. Thank you. >> You're welcome. >> So, still generally the same thing that we've been discussing in the past >> pretty much. Yes. >> Where we're in the black for >> this year and then we start deficit spending after that. >> Correct. >> Um the other
021thing that I'll mention is there continues to be multiple initiatives at the state level around property tax reform. Um, I know there were some hearings this week, I think in the Senate around some of these items there. There were bills out there that, you know, the budget bill had many property tax reform items in it that mostly got vetoed. Um, which there are some talk about reversing some of those vetos, but there were also other bills out there um that are still in play. And so again, It's the things that we've talked about in the past and it runs the gamut from you know tweaking um homestead roll back for you know maybe uh seniors or depending on your um income to completely annihilating property tax I mean complete in total. So, we're just going
022to have to continue to watch what is happening with that. Obviously, that could change this forecast drastically or a little bit, but um this seems to be I I don't I don't think it's going to just go away. Something's going to happen. It's just >> how much Yes. What are they going to replace? >> Well, right. And and I think there's there's thoughts that yeah, we need to look at maybe um changing the state income tax or the state sales tax. There's also some thought of too bad like yeah, maybe we don't have to replace them with anything. You all need to figure it out. >> I think that big was it state or county meeting we went to was the sense that get rid of all of it and you should just have everybody
023should have an income tax. We already have one >> and we're still going to be in diminishing >> so the only ones that >> there's only what a couple in the state or 18 schools. >> So the last thing I'll say is we are outside of our our the district's cash balance policy, which is four months of reserve. Um, but again, we've moved dollars to our capital projects fund to utilize. So, I think at this point I my recommendation would be to not change our policy. Let's see what happens with property tax reform and then talk about what we need to do. >> And part of the were outside of the district policy right now. It was because of the things they were saying with capping the amounts. >> So, what they said was they
024were going to cap the amounts. If you were above it, they weren't going to collect your property tax levies. Um, however, if you had use for those dollars, you could move them to other funds. So, that's what we did. Um, and those monies are sitting in a a couple funds, but the main one is a new capital projects fund. And we will utilize those for, you know, bigger expenses of the district around buildings and grounds and technology and curriculum and transportation. >> Any other questions? the forecast I'm seeing here way the dollars lay out by 2029 is that assuming >> that nothing changes assuming that a renewal happens is that renewal does not happen >> and I should approve this color and apologize for that so fiscal year 2029 >> there's you know about a
0253.2 million deficit um it that does not assume the the renewal would go through. If you look down to line 11.02, you'll see the 1.5 million. >> Um, so if we would pass the renewal, if we are allowed to have renewals um of these emergency level levies, so then we're, you know, we're only 1.7 operating deficit that year. Same with 2020. >> Yes. Uh only half the year that >> year because y >> but yes all the assumptions around revenues are that we would continue to collect our property tax levies because at this point there's no way to project out what what's going to happen around property tax reform. Okay. Any other questions? >> All right. Roll call. >> All right. Mr. Tohill. >> Yes. >> Mr. Gandlesberger? >> Yes. >> Mrs. Barky? >> Yes.
026>> Mrs. Gearhart? >> Yes. >> Mr. Wy? >> Yes. >> All right. Last item.

We did have students in the miss a few days of school. Now we're having it November one. From what I understand, because I did talk to our band director about this a little bit, he did say that it was way more
039crowded uh around spring break time. Uh the weather was a little bit more severe. They found in November. It's not as crowded. It's easier for our kids to uh to move around throughout the day. Uh they're still missing the same amount of days as it was before. I know that was part but it's not more timeless. It's it's the same. That's uh going to also recommendation to approve an overnight trip for the high school band to Orlando departing November 20th, 26 and returning November 25th, 2026.
