001Sounds like somebody from Texas. >> Uh, good evening everybody. Uh, welcome. It is the I'll let the microphone adjust. There we go. Uh, it is the November 12th, 2025 meeting of the Ont.

I don't believe there's been any amendments to the agenda. >> All right. Hearing none. Can I have a motion to approve
002the agenda? >> So moved. >> A second. >> Second. >> Right. Any discussion? Right. Hearing none. Mr. Jenkins. >> Mr. Lester. >> Yes. >> Dr. Dabberco. >> Yes. >> Dr. Wallak. >> Yes. >> Mr. O'Brien. >> Yes. >> M. Shriber. >> Yes. >> All right. It's time for the board president report. Uh, wow. Thank you all for coming. We uh we love when we have people coming out to our board meetings, especially when it is freezing cold inside. It's, you know, it's a nice way to stay warm coming to to local government. So, uh, please feel free to come to any future meetings, especially over the winter months as well. Uh, I'm going to have a pretty short President's Report tonight. Uh, but, uh, the the focus of it is gratitude. Uh over the past
003I was going to say several months, but it's really been several years. We've been talking about the challenges of growth that uh this district is facing and we as a board have to think through, you know, different ways to approach that and and things to bring to the community. Uh when we're getting 4 to 500 new students every single year, we we have an obligation to provide a safe and supportive environment for them. And the different ways that we can go about doing that have a real impact on this community. and we've we've tried a couple of those over the past few years, including the bond issue that uh was recently up on the ballot this fall. Uh happy to report that it passed. Uh and I uh I want to thank uh really everybody
004in the community for being a part of the discussion around that issue, right? Because when we bring those things forward, it is a community discussion. It's about what the focus of the school should be. Um, and so as we see tough questions online or people coming in or trying to engage at one of the coffee chats, that's all important whether you choose to vote for the bond issue or not. As we say all the time, it's not our job to tell you how to vote. It's to give you the information to do that. And so we really appreciate when people um engage and talk through and think through it. Um and and we're al ultimately incredibly grateful that the community has voted to support this measure that will allow us to build a new elementary
005school and a new high school uh that are going to address our most pressing uh needs right now uh and be able to do it without increasing the tax rate on the community. We've talked about how that will all work and and we're happy to continue to answer any questions about that. Obviously, this is not going to be the only thing that we do because we're just growing at such a rate that we've got to continue to work through this. Um but it's a really important step forward. We we believe uh very strongly that this was a good measure and we're glad that the community supported it. So incredible gratitude not just you know for the people that voted for but for everybody that engaged on this issue. We really want to thank you. Um
006separately one thing that we have not been talking about the past couple of months because I don't think it would have been proper for us to do that is uh Dr. Davco and I were on the ballot for re-election. We were both reelected. Uh and I want to thank the community for that as well. But I also want to thank the people that run ran against this. Uh Mr. Omar Ashro and MH Saxina. Um it takes a whole lot to run for office. It's an incredibly challenging thing to do. I applaud anyone that steps forward for any office, but especially school board for bringing new ideas. These are things that ultimately make our schools better as we as we go out and and we work through that. So I really appreciate the work that uh
007both of those candidates did. I appreciate uh Dr. Dabberco uh and all the work that he did and and ultimately we're excited to be able to serve this community for four more years. So uh we'll just keep on going and keep on trying to work with this. But the the commitment that we made all the way through the election was we are here to work with anybody to answer any questions to talk about any issues. So please continue to reach out to us. We're always happy to talk and yeah we'll just keep on going. So I don't want to waste anybody's time uh beyond that uh with any more remarks from me. Uh what I uh I don't believe we've had any committee updates since the last one or have we? >> We had facilities
008committee um on the 5th. So obviously talking about how the bond issue passed. Um Molly Preston from the business um the bridge ed program and and bridging um you know bridges businesses in the community with students and experience to train them into careers um oftentimes right out of high school. So she just talked a little bit about the bridge ed program. Um specifically talking about engineering and advanced manufacturing. A lot of our members from the facilities committee work in those industries. So just letting them know what we're doing so that they can spread the word amongst, you know, their employers and and colleagues and other, you know, businesses that they interact with to talk about how um Tangi is working to create pathways for our students to enter those industries um without necessarily having to
009go through a four-year college degree to get there. Um and so the local businesses were encouraged to do outreach at the schools. Um, we also talked about the permanent improvement 5-year plan for a little bit. Um, and yeah, we'll I'm sure we'll be hearing some updates from Mr. Gordon in the future about about that. So, >> it was a good discussion and it was great. The members I know who all work, you know, at local um businesses said that they were really excited to hear about the program and and wanted to know more. And I think the momentum for Bridgead just keeps building year after year. And it's really exciting to see um that we can really empower our students to think broadly beyond just like engineering means being an engineer. Like engineering means so
010many different roles that support that for example. So yeah, it was it was a good meeting. >> Great. All right. Any other updates? Uh okay, we will move to what I suspect that everybody in this room is here for uh which is our honoring on Tangi veterans presentations. Uh so we will start with our Sciota Ridge uh thing and uh we'll go from there. So thank you so much. >> Okay. Hi. Um good evening. My name is Lisa Graham and I am the military family leaison for Sciota Ridge Elementary. Um, it is something that means a lot to me because my husband is a veteran of the United States Army. So, I feel very fortunate to be able to support such an important part of our community. Um, I want to say thank you first
011and foremost for allowing us to share our Veterans Day celebration with you this evening. Um, we have a really hardworking veterans committee that puts this together every year. Um, and they really make it a very special day. So, um, what we do is we do a breakfast for our veterans and it is provided by Chris Cakes. He is a fellow veteran and he is known as the world's famous flying flapjack. So, it's a lot of fun um to watch the families um engage with that. So, it's a really fun part of our breakfast. Um, most importantly, our breakfast is really run by our students. So, I have some ambassadors here who are leaders of our school, fifth graders. Um, and they really do everything. I mean, they are the ones who are, um, greeting the
012veterans when they come in, giving them their gifts and serving them their breakfast. So, we really want to make this studentled. Um, and we also have the entire school pretty much involved as well from all the classrooms making decorations that line the hallways um and uh making thank you cards for our veterans. So, it's a really nice day. Um, this year we tried something new and it was really exciting. We did a clap out for our veterans. So, the entire school line the hallways. Um, our ambassadors led out our veterans and their families. So, it was a really great part of the day and a great way to pretty much close the morning. So, um I am going to step back cuz I know I want to hear from our wonderful ambassadors as much as
013you do. Um they are very dedicated students to their leadership. So, I'm very excited um to introduce our first year ambassador, Annie. >> Hi, I'm Annie and I'm a fifth grader at Scot Ridge Elementary School. Thank you for inviting me to share how my school celebrates veterans who have served for our country. Our school invites veterans to attend a special breakfast with really yummy pancakes. As a reambassador, I had the privilege of sitting down with a group at with of at least 50 veterans to learn about their service. They were incredibly grateful that we took our time to honor their commitment to our country. I would like to make thank my teachers at Soda Ridge for making this event possible. Thank you for your time tonight. [Music] [Applause] Hi, my name is Lily. I'm a
014fifth grader at Satderidge Elementary. My dad has been in the military for 18 years and we've been attending Satderidge Veterans Day celebration since I've been in kindergarten. It's a very special day for our whole family and many other Saddidge families. The breakfast celebration gives us the chance to meet other students and military families and hear their stories of their sacrifice. Something that we something we do for Veterans Day is that we read different books about Veterans Day as a class. I learned that veterans do so much for our country like fighting for our freedom and safety. Instead of being with their family, they sacrifice their time for doing stuff for our country. Thank you for coming and listening to my experience from being in a military family. [Applause] Hi, my name is Luca. I'm a
015RAM at Sciota Ridge Elementary. I've done the Veterans Day breakfast for two years now, and it has taught me things like kindness, respect, history, and further information on the US Armed Forces. It's a great way to show appreciation to our veterans for their service. I hope we continue to celebrate our heroes at Sciota Ridge so that future students can learn lessons like I've learned, like how to catch a pancake flip. But in all seriousness, I hope kids continue to learn the kindness, appreciation, and respect for our veterans. Thank you. So before this started, I said, "Look, kids are always nervous when they get up here and then they get up and they just like they just kill it." I mean, they're great. And this is the perfect example. You guys did great. >> Well, they're
016from Cider. >> They are from Cider. [Laughter] >> Dr. Wall's a little bit partial. So, uh, anybody have any, uh, comments or questions for the the ambassadors? I love that name, by the That's fantastic. Um, no questions. Um, but I will say as a Sidor Ridge parent who's also been attending for years, uh, with a father-in-law veteran who's been coming, an 86-year-old veteran who comes down from two hours away each year to be part of the breakfast. Um, I I was uncertain with the transition away from a a big presentation and and songs and and presentations like that, how how would the the walk the clap out be received? And it was overwhelmingly a giant hit. So I got some some feedback on that. It everybody love love loved it and it made the veterans
017feel so very special and they got to see all those smiling faces throughout the halls of our beautiful school. And so thank you everybody for all your hard work on that. It was a wonderful day. >> That's great. [Applause] >> All right. Uh I think we have Orange Middle School next. [Music] Celebrating veterans and active duty service members is a part of our school's culture at Orange Middle School. Each year we participate in a variety of activities that support our military. First, each year our school participates in the honor walk. We are very proud to say this that this was our 10th annual year of doing the honor walk. Every fall, students walk in honor or in remembrance of a veteran or active duty service member in their lives. Students have family members and friends
018sponsors them for the walk. This year, as a school, we raised over $4,000. Each year, our school donates that funds to organization that supports veterans. This year, we donated the funds to the Honor Flight, Save a Warrior, and the Mission Gratitude family and friends. We are also very proud to say that our school raised funds for the Orange Township Veterans Memorial for years through our honor walk and donated over $20,000 to its constructions. We also write thank you letters to Delaware County veterans which are then distributed at table settings at the Source Point Veterans Breakfast. We believe it is important that our local veterans know how much we appreciate them. Additionally, each year our sixth graders students make a care package for our brave men and women who deployed all over this world, keeping us
019safe. We partner with the awesome organization, Mission Gratitude Family and Friends to make this possible. We all work together to bring in items that the soldiers miss the most from home. We decorate the boxes so they know how much we appreciate them, fill them with items, and write them thank you notes. Our school also writes letters to the veterans who go to Washington DC on the honor flights. On their way home during mail call, the veterans are given our letters. It is very important to us that the veterans know how much we appreciate their sacrifices. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] While we celebrate and support veterans all year long, our biggest event is our veterans ceremony and breakfast which we had last Friday. Students at our school invite guests and veterans to honor and this year our
020school welcomed over 125 veterans and active duty service members. I'm in eighth grade and I brought my grandpa as a guest each year. The students get to eat breakfast with their veteran prior to our ceremony. During the ceremony, our choir sings, our band plays, and the students at a table for veterans who are not able to join us. After breakfast, the veterans come back into our classrooms and share their experiences with us. This year was really special because we got to honor and hear from three veterans who attended Orange Middle and High School. Our veterans breakfast and day is truly a schoolwide celebration. To finish up November, tomorrow we are hosting a World War II expert and collector who will be teaching us about World War II through stories and his collection of artifacts. At
021Orange Middle School, celebrating veterans is a fundamental part of who we are. [Music] >> Thank you so much. Uh, so any questions for our Orange Middle Schools? How did you What did you guys do to raise the $4,000? What was the the activity? [Music] >> It was through our annual honor walk. >> Okay. Okay. Great. Yeah. Yeah. Nice. Well, that's that's an amazing amount of money, especially the the memorial over in Orange Township. That's just an incredible really a lasting um you know, tribute to all of the work that all these students do over time. And what a great way to to give back to the community. It's that's really amazing. So, >> and is is that you and your grandfather on there? Okay. >> That's awesome. >> That's really cool. Great. All right. Well,
022thank you guys so much. All right. And Berlin High School He was a little taller than me. Um, good evening. I'm Amy Justani and I teach at Berlin High School. Uh, 19 years ago when I started teaching history in the district. I realized that they supported Veterans Day events and I started planning at Shanahan. Now over to Berlin. Um, what we do for our veterans is we try and make it as community involved as we can. We host a Veterans Day breakfast where veterans, family members, and students can sit and enjoy each other's company. Um during the breakfast, we host a guest speaker. The hope is that the guest speaker will not only remind the veterans why they served, but also inspire our students to find a connection to the military. they um beyond the
023guest speaker ROC, we get to highlight our students that are involved in that as they present the colors when our musical selections are performed by our Berlin students. Um, additionally, with our breakfast, when that comes to an end, we then move all of our veterans to the first floor. We bring all 2,000 of our students down and they line the halls waving flags, um, holding signs that they've made, handing out cards to our veterans on our tribute walk. Um, we walk throughout the halls as patriotic music plays, and our students get to, even if they weren't part of the breakfast, at least meet and thank the veterans kind of one by one as they travel through the halls. Over the years, we've partnered with the National Veterans Memorial Museum to expand our program. Um, our
024students throughout that process go down to the museum. Um, we do certain pro projects with the museum in order to highlight what the museum does for veterans and also help to enhance the spirits for our students. And Rosie is here to talk about that. But I would like to mention Ros's mom, Manurva. Manurva joined me in 2002 2022, excuse me, as a way to honor her father, a Navy veteran, and it's just grown into a very special program for us together as friends. Good evening. My name is Rosie Elazaga and I'm a sophomore at Berlin High School. I've had the privilege for the past three year years to help with my school's Veterans Day celebration and it's a tradition that means a lot to me. My grandfather served in the Navy during the Vietnam War
025and since his passing in 2022, volunteering for this celebration has given me a way to honor his legacy. And I'm extremely grateful to be a part of a school that gives me an opportunity to honor our veterans, not just by remembering their past sacrifices, but by inspiring the students and me to um carry our spirit of service forward and appreciate our veterans. Thank you for your time. >> Thank you so much. Any comments, questions for the Berlin folks? [Music] >> I'm just impressed with all of our students and how well spoken everyone was. So, just just another round of applause for for our students. [Music] >> You guys did great. I mean, this is really, you know, this is part of what the district is all about, right? is is building good citizens for the
026for the future and and um you know the developing that that idea of giving back and supporting those who who have made such sacrifices to support the the country is is a huge part of that. So really all of you thank you for what you've done. It it means a lot to not just the veterans that got to attend or that got to be a part of it but the entire community. So really truly thank you. >> All right. Well, those of you that were here for this are welcome to stay, but you're also welcome to head out if you if you want to. So, we'll we can give you a minute if you want to, or otherwise feel free to stay. >> Mass exit. Next item on the agenda which is our pupil services
027update. So Mrs. Dero, uh Mr. Gali, and Mr. Rusco. >> Good evening everyone. Uh we're very grateful to the board for the opportunity to share information about our people services department. Tonight you'll be hearing from Stephanie Dabberco, director of people services, Jaclyn Rosco, director of preschool, and myself, Eric Gully, assistant director of people services, who oversees our English learner program. This evening, we'll discuss some of the ways our department contributes to the realization of the district's strategic plan, specifically in the areas of students and stakeholders, learning and organizational development, and internal processes. which lead to true inclusive excellence. Facilitating maximum learning for every student really does mean every student in TNG. Over the past few weeks, our district's five-star rating has been highlighted, but we couldn't have earned the highest rating possible had we left
028more than a quarter of our students behind. As you can see in the chart of our approximately 24,000 students, about 6,400 face a documented barrier to learning, which we do work hard to alleviate. But more importantly, we empower our students with the knowledge and skills to overcome obstacles independently. Many of our students with special needs start their learning journey as early as age three in our preschool, which is a statemandated program currently serving almost 300 young learners with disabilities. Peer models who meet certain criteria also attend the preschool program to further enhance the learning environment. Our pupil services specialists in preschool and grades K through 12, such as intervention specialists, speech and language pathologists, and EL specialists, not only provide direct to direct support to our students, but also serve as a valuable resource for
029their general education colleagues, effectively collaborating to improve instruction for all students. Now, Jaclyn Rosco, director of preschool, is going to share more detailed information about some of our important initiatives. >> Thank you, Eric. One of one element of the district's strategic plan that we wanted to highlight this evening was learning and organizational development. To ensure mastery of learning from preschool through 12th grade, we've adopted different curriculums that support the needs of all students. This image shown is a slide of the multi-tered system of support or MTSS that captures the three levels of tiered instructional support. As you can see in the green, tier one is the instructional strategies that support the majority of students needs. This is highlighting the importance of the general education instruction and ensuring high quality instruction for all students. A commonality
030of EL preschool and pupil services is that our students are often requiring tier 2 or tier three supports. Through differentiation and collaboration, our EL staff, intervention specialists, and related services staff collaborate with our general education teachers to ensure that tier one instruction and supports are in place to work and differentiate the instructions to best meet the needs of our unique learners. So what does that professional learning and general education instruction look like in preschool? Like school age, the preschool has adopted a new curriculum that aligns with the science of reading. Olant Tangi Preschool selected a comprehensive curriculum called Frog Street PreK. Fun fact, our preschool teachers are dually licensed. Therefore, they have the great responsibility of delivering the general education instruction as well as the speciallydesed instruction or SDI for our students with individual education
031plans. The professional learning for this school year is focused on implementing our Frog Street prek curriculum with Fidelity. That started with our August training led by the Frog Street staff. Then our staff provided feedback that indicated that they needed more training on various curriculum elements in the schedule for their day. That has driven our September professional development day. Another desire from our staff from the August training feedback is that they wanted to have collaborative discussions within our different classroom types. This is a visual to highlight the continuum of preschool classrooms within our program. We have three different classroom types which allows us to tailor our instruction to meet the needs of every student. During the September PD day, we were able to group staff from our 39 preschool classrooms across seven locations throughout the district.
032They engaged in professional dialogue about the challenges and the successes that they've been experiencing with the new curriculum. Since September, our staff has been receptive to the informal walkthrough feedback from our preschool administrators and they have been actively engaging in monthly curriculum collaborations led by our instructional coach. We are proud of the dedication and commitment of our staff to implement the new curriculum with fidelity. Although implementing new curriculum has its challenges, we believe it's already had a positive impact on our staff and students. Our staff have commented about being surprised how well our students are responding to the high vocabulary embedded in the morning message. For example, a few weeks ago, our theme was on healthy food choices. With the morning message, the sentence being zucchini is a nutritious food. I was able to see
033firsthand students demonstrating curiosity about these big words and our teachers using synonyms to help them understand nutritious and also making connections to their snacks or dinner choices at home. Another preschool teacher has shared the growth data that she has captured from August to October to indicate an average increase of five capital letters and nine lowercase letters since she's implemented Frog Street with the exposure of three to four letters per week with the new curriculum. We will continue to take staff feedback to drive our professional learning to strengthen those tier 2 and tier three supports in the future years. Next, I want to highlight some of the professional learning that's led by pupil services. You may recall from our board presentation last year that we designed a professional learning to support our staff that teach students
034in our specialized learning centers or SLC's. This is called structured teaching routines for Olant Tangi's neurodeiverse groups or known as strong. Strong is a special education framework that entangi adopted and implemented. This is a preschool through 12th grade professional learning that pupil services leads. Strong was training was initiated last year during the 24-25 school year with all of the preschool SLC teachers and select school age building champions. This year that work has continued to train all the new preschool SLC teachers as well as the all school age SL teachers have now received this training. One main takeaway from the staff indicated on the staff survey was that the majority of staff felt that this training provided them with visual supports that they plan to implement in their classrooms. They also reported increased collaboration and regular
035huddles with their intervention aids. And we don't want to leave out Eric and his EL team. They continue to provide a variety of EL trainings for staff ranging from preschool through high school. The image on the screen highlights one of the tools that the EEL department utilizes in their training, the five essentials checklist. This guides staff on best practices for our English learners, but it's also great strategies to strengthen and be support for our tier one supports to benefit all students. As you can see, over the last three years, the EL department has been delivering training to over 2,000 staff, preschool through high school. The staff feedback has been very positive as you can see with the 97 and 90% ratings from surveys. And one quote from a participant said, "The training was very helpful.
036Thank you for presenting practical information and giving us time to work as a team. This professional development would not be possible without the support of our coaches, secretaries, and administrators, and many of them are here this evening. We want to thank them for developing and facilitating these trainings for our teachers, aids, and related staff. I'm now going to turn it over to Stephanie Dabbero to highlight the professional learning for our department leaders. >> Just a just a quick question. >> Sure. >> Why the spike in staff served in 2425? >> You for like 500 900 500. >> Oh, that's a good question. So, this year's not finished yet. Just up to date, we've served 500 staff members so far. We're on track to get to over a thousand this school year. >> Okay, >> the
037training done. Great question. >> So, we believe it's not enough to just support students and teachers, but to also invest in our leaders. Leadership is an important component of meeting the need of every child. Fostering leadership development is a strategic priority for Tangi schools. This year, the pupil services e and preschool administrators launch launched an evaluation pilot project aimed at expanding leadership capacity within our teams. This initiative aligns with the tangi leadership framework which defines leaders as purposeful, resilient, curious and kind. In collaboration with human resources, our administrators are piloting a revised central office administrator evaluation process. This effort is designed to better align evaluation tools with the district's strategic plan with our continuous improvement plan, department goals, and individual administrator work plans. All pupil services, preschool, and EL administrators are participating in the pilot
038to improve both the efficiency of the process and the quality of performance feedback. Key components of the pilot include a leadership self assessment based on the district's leadership framework, individualized work plans tailored to each administrator's goals, monthly leadership chats to foster reflection and growth, Legion meeting follow-ups to reinforce leadership development learning, and use of the DISC personality evaluation tool to support adaptive leadership styles. The district plans to evaluate and refine this process with the goal of implementing a consistent evaluation tool for all central office administrators in the 2627 school year. Additionally, mentoring structures are being strengthened to retain and develop highquality leaders. Providing meaningful feedback and robust support is a proven strategy for enhancing staff retention and leadership capacity. The administrators on the pupil services, EL and preschool teams also provide high levels of support
039to building principles or building administrators. This support and learning provided to building leaders further enhances the support that we can all provide to every child with exceptional learning needs. Another key focus area of our district strategic plan is strengthening internal processes. On the following slides, I will highlight how our departments are cultivating a culture of operational excellence through targeted initiatives and systems designed to enhance efficiency, accountability, and continuous improvement. As you know, one of our district's core values is we can always get better. This semester, the district is partnering with New Solutions K12 to launch a district-wide student success study to identify opportunities to elevate teaching practices that support students who struggle both with and without disabilities. The result of this work will be a clearer understanding of what is working well, where opportunities might
040exist to strengthen services, and how we can best align resources to maximize learning for every student. This systematic review includes our special education and our multi-tered support systems, services, programs, procedures, and staffing. The study has three main goals to improve student outcomes, to make teaching more sustainable, and to ensure financial sustainability as well. New solutions K12 will provide a short list of high impact opportunities to guide future improvement so the district can focus on the changes with the greatest benefit for students and staff. Parent feedback and board feedback opportunities are embedded within the virtual focus groups. I believe those focus groups are occurring this week. Yes. Okay, good. Done. Check that off the list. Good. To strengthen our commitment to compliance and continuous improvement, the pupil services and preschool departments have established an internal monitoring
041team system. This initiative enables structured self-recreating a sustainable framework for internal auditing and quality assurance. This system includes four grade banded teams, preschool, elementary, middle, and high school comprised of district level education professionals. These teams began training and calibration in September with additional training SE sessions in October and we're coming back together again in December. Each grade band team is tasked with reviewing special education documents, ensuring alignment with state compliance standards, um promoting best practices, and then of course the ultimate goal to enhance student outcomes for learners with disabilities in spring semester. Then each of those monitoring team members will be conducting independent reviews of special education documents to meet a district-wide goal, which is for this first year to review at least one evaluation team report per school psychologist and one individualized education plan
042per intervention specialist. Feedback to those staff members will be provided by assigned pupil services supervisors to support ongoing professional growth and quality assurance. It's my honor to work alongside the administrators and staff members, secretaries. Again, shout out to everybody in the back there who show up daily to provide positive support to students, staff, and families. Everyone has had an integral role in all of the things that we've talked about tonight. It really takes the whole team. I'm going to turn it back over to Eric Gully to wrap up our presentation. [Music] And Mr. O'Brien, I apologize. It took me a second to process your question. So, you were talking about the jump from 2324 to 2425. 2324 was my first year in the district and all of our PD's elective, not mandatory. So, it took
043a while to build trust with our building principles to invite me out and put me and my team in front of their staff. So, we were able to increase it after we built that trust. >> Thank you. >> And now they can't get enough of you, right? >> Yeah, that's right. >> I hope so. I hope so. Um, so this is our final slide of the evening and we just wanted to say that a district as big and as diverse as ours only earns a five-star rating one way when everyone believes in the mission and everyone works together for our students and families. Every aid, administrator, teacher, specialist, coach, coordinator, supervisor, everyone. Together, we can and do facilitate maximum learning for every student as our data clearly show. So, on behalf of the people services
044department, I'd like to thank the board, the district leadership team, and all audience members in attendance for your attention and engagement um and for sharing your most valuable resource, your time. Thank you. >> Thank you. Great. Uh any questions, comments? I just wanted to take a moment during the meeting too to from our end here show our appreciation to all the staff. I know a lot of you are here. Um we had the reception before the meeting started but I wanted to make sure we took the time during the meeting as well to recognize all of you and the three of you and all the hard work that you do. So thank you so much for your time um everything you do every day for our kids and our community. So thank you. Thank you.
045Appreciate it. >> Go ahead. >> You know, over the last 90 days or so, we've been busy. And even over the last four years, Mr. Lester and I spent a lot of time in the community. And rarely is there a meeting that goes by when a family doesn't come to us and tell us they moved from somewhere around the country. Um because Olen Tangi has a reputation for making sure that not do we just meet needs of families with students with special needs but we exceed them not just academically but the whole student um and and the number of students that you serve um would be one of the top 40 school districts in the state of Ohio. Um so that's that's huge the the the reach that you have that's almost top 5% in
046size. So, I have two questions and these come from community folks. Um, first things, um, preschool is required by law, correct? And I've asked this before because folks have come to me and said, "Well, why don't you just cut preschool when I, you know, when I grew up in the 1920s, we didn't have preschool." And I I said, "Well, I'm I'm 99% sure it's required by law, but I'm not a lawyer like half the rest of the board. So, let me let me check on that." So it is required by the state. Correct. >> It's a mandated program. Students who qualify for a disability at age three, the day that they turn three, um we can start them in our program. We um then opt to have pure models in a handful of our classrooms,
047but that does not increase the number of classrooms that we need. Um the pure models do pay tuition and do not get transportation, but they complement our least restricted classroom of the integrated classrooms and then a handful of them in transitions. Um but that does not expand the number of classrooms we need. Um we use the peers to support the students with IEPs, but it is a mandated program um starting at age three. >> Thank you. Here's my second. >> And they enroll all year. So daily and weekly. >> Yeah, for sure. >> The day they turn three. >> About 100 IEP students from August to May um is our current trend of how many uh I'm looking back at the supervisors. They're nodding. They feel that every day. So the second question is the
048way we get better is because we get parent feedback, student feedback, everybody in the whole every stakeholder. What's the best way for parents if they have concerns, questions? Is Facebook the best way to solve uh dispute? I mean like what's the best way um to to to get some action on something? Maybe they're concerned about something didn't seem right. What's the step by step? And I'm not just not just call the intervention, but >> right >> deeper dive how how do >> Yeah, absolutely. >> Step by step. We really if a parent has a concern with in the classroom, we definitely want to direct them straight to the classroom instructor, which is also our preschool assistants are also there. Um our preschool supervisors each have multiple sites. Um I noted we had seven locations. If
049they have a developmental concern, um we have a secretary that does those intake calls. We offer monthly free child check screeners to ensure that we're doing a screener to indicate if their child potentially does have a disability where we can serve them in our program. We also um come December January, we will host a peer information night where parents are welcome to come and we now do in-person peer screeners and we lead a parent educational session during those screeners to educate them also about developmental milestones and whether or not their child will be accepted into our program. Um, so there's definitely a lot of avenues and I'll shout out Christian's phone number at our main line 74-657-4360. She is the first contact and if she can't answer it, she will get them to someone who
050can. >> So, does that work for all of um pupil services? Like if there's a concern, not just with preschool, but 11th grade, like who do they if if I'm a parent, who do I contact first, second, third? If you go to the district website and you go to the department of pupil services, you will see each building throughout the district and the direct pupil services supervisor that supports that building. They're a great contact. Their picture, their phone number and email are all on there. Again, we encourage parents to go directly to their general education teacher, their intervention specialist, the aids that support their child, but absolutely the administrators in this room, secretaries alike. You know, we're a phone call away, an email away. Uh we pride ourselves on that feedback and working with the
051parents. >> Thank you. >> One more parent resource I'll mention is our we have two parent mentors and a family liaison for our e um um you know all families really but who supports um multilingual families in specifically. So those those uh resources can be accessed as well, you know, website, phone, email, but they're a great resource depending on, you know, maybe a parent just has questions about a process or documents or those kinds of things. So, and they all have students in the district or have had experience with that. So, they're another great resource. >> Thank you. >> So, uh just an observation. Um it really it struck me when we were on the slide about um the internal monitoring teams um and the it referenced the uh team training and collaboration started in
052September and it got me thinking about timeline of certain events because it was in I believe it was late August when the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce unveiled Ohio's integrated MTSS. And so I pulled it up and I was kind of as you went through that whole presentation, I'm looking at what the Department of Education and Workforce is deeming important, you know, in the world of MTSS, universal screening, database decision-making, continuum of supports, progress monitoring, team-based problem solving, shared leadership, professional capacity, communication, and collaboration. And that was basically all addressed in this presentation. And that was unveiled in late August. And I can't believe that y'all scrambled after that to develop all of this. So the point being, Olangi is always ahead of the curve in best practices and with real intention and informed
053decision-making. So just bravo, incredibly proud of everybody. Yeah. >> So, one thing I'll add on all this is um I I really appreciate the um the educational aspect of this for for families and for for teachers and everybody really as you know as we talk about uh or as we talk to um parents of students with disabilities, you know, they they often have to become their own best advocates, right? I mean, they're they're really the ones trying to push their child's needs. But so many of them I've talked to said, "This is all new for me." Like, I don't I don't really know. and maybe they haven't had another student with disabilities or things like that and it can be challenging and scary and they're trying to find information online or they're trying to you
054to do whatever. Um so providing some of that support I know I don't know if it was specifically in um connection with you all but there was an education session a couple weeks ago you know about neurode diverency and some of those other things and um it it's a real service to the community especially for the families are going through it but going through it's not the right way but families that that are you know trying to do their best for their for their students um but you know for everybody else too is just trying to bring awareness and understanding and and cut through some of those barriers that that we see. So, as you continue to think about professional learning and as you think about some of those community education things, if there are
055areas where we can be supportive in in trying to think about different ways to do that, I think we'd really welcome that because that that's one of the most important parts of all this is trying to cut through what feels like red tape and and other stuff like that to really provide those supports. So, yeah, really appreciate it. >> Good. All right. Thank you all. Okay, Mr. Meyer, superintendent report. >> All right, you guys all staying? >> Awesome. Awesome. >> So, I I do want to take uh take a moment to thank uh Stephanie, Jacqueline, and Eric. And I say this a lot. Um you know, we don't get and we don't produce the results that we get by accident. And we talk about how intentional we are as a dis as a district, how
056thoughtful and the dedicated adults that we have who show up every single day in this district. And Dr. Wallet kind of stole my thunder. I I didn't go online, but I was just writing the words down here. You know, when you think about again, it doesn't happen um by accident. Um, so you know, alignment, collaboration, job embedded, uh, professional learning, data to drive and inform instruction, staff feedback, and, uh, Mr. Lester mentioned feedback and how feedback is so important in what we do. Um, because it really empowers our people. Um, and then the growth mindset, the core value, we can always get better. and at the end of the day providing the best support and best educational environment to meet almost to the individual student need. It's it's unbelievable. I'm so so proud of the
057work that you all do and so many across our wonderful district does on a daily basis to uh meet the needs of all students. But you know, we were just talking about uh students with disabilities pre preschool through uh 12th grade. So, um, you know, thank you for all that you do. So, I wanted to thank you all and thank you for your leadership. It's unbelievable. And Eric's a little bashful, but he does get called on a lot. Now, the, uh, so, a few recognitions um that I want to highlight in the superintendent report. So, uh, this is, um, I think this is Mr. Smith, is this year two now with coach Beyond? So, uh, this is year two. So this is collaboration between Tangi schools in Dublin uh schools with uh the Ohio State
058University's life sports and Ohio high school athletic association. So this is the second year that we've brought this collaborative event together. And you can see they're encouraging students to build confidence, strengthen leadership skills, and learn how to balance academics and athletics. and and there's there's a lot in the program uh relative to mental health and well-being because um in our district there's a lot of pressure there's a lot of pressure on uh students to perform whether it's uh academics academically or uh as athletes or in whatever they do. So um we're happy to partner um with Ohio State and Ohio High School and for sure to collaborate with Dublin. So, um there's going to be one more session this year and I think uh we had about 80 80 plus students from each district uh
059participate. Um, also want to highlight uh again ended uh fall we're well we're still we're ending fall sports uh still have a couple football teams in the uh in the tournament but I want to recognize congratulations to Tangi High School uh Meadow um won the girls individual golf state uh championship Berlin High School junior cil um won girls singles tennis state championship and and um also then Liberty High School. Uh Elena who won the girls cross country state championship and then run runner up right behind her was uh Brooke from uh Orange High School. And we highlight uh the teams because we've had a lot of success team wise, but um you know individually when you're when you're participating individually uh in an event, you're by yourself. Um so you know sometimes it's real lonely
060uh out there on the track, the fields or the courts uh when you're when you're performing. Um so uh congratulations and uh job well done uh again representing Olan Tangi uh in the state tournament uh with those individuals. Also want to highlight I'm going to switch over to the performing arts. So this is the fifth year that we've done this. So we rotate around the high schools where we bring uh middle schoolers and high schoolers together and then collaborate with a university. So this year last year it was OU. This year it's Ohio State. Um so that was on October 30th. Uh 250 teners and bases from all Tangi high schools and then all six of our middle schools uh came together for the day to uh um learn and grow uh in the performing
061arts there with their music. So uh happy that we could host that and uh provide those opportunities for our students. Uh couple band recognitions. So, first Liberty High School uh earned superior ratings at the Ohio Music Education Association state marching band finals and then Tangi High School uh received a superior one rating at their first OMA competition and then just had were at mid uh Midstates Band Association and you can see uh band one best visual, best general effect, best music, first place in their division, second place overall and you said the highest score ever. So that's from Miamiisburg. That was a few weeks ago. Um this last weekend was Kings and they got fourth in the preliminary, fifth in the finals, and they earned their highest score that they've ever received from an MSBA
062competition in ever. So >> they're doing a lot. They're they're around in the fall. So >> So congratulations to >> First year they've cracked 80 points, I think, and they did it three times this Yeah. >> Awesome. >> That's awesome. Um, so then I I I want to just switch over to the postbond update and uh, you know, for sure want to take time to congratulate Mr. Lester and Dr. Dabico for on their reelections. Um, you know, I say this all the time. We have five board members who are sitting in the seats for the right reason to support the mission of the district. And I know that uh sometimes it's a thankless job uh the service that you provide to the uh community. However, um we really appreciate uh all of your service, but
063in particular uh your service um Mr. Lester and Dr. Dava, the last four years and looking forward to a great uh next four years as we continue to move forward. So, uh also want to extend a heartfelt uh gratitude to our really our entire community. And when I think about this, um, you know, at the end of the day, it really to me, um, this is for our kids, our staff, and our community. The ability to support the building of, uh, two additional buildings with elementary, 18, and high school 5. because again in the short term this does help us to alleviate um one of our biggest challenges to accommodate the continued growth that's here and will continue to to come over the next uh several years to Olan Tangi. So, uh, want there's so
064many people to thank. Obviously, the board of education, um, district leadership team, we had so many staff members who stepped up, um, our parent group, uh, OFK, and of course, um, all of the supporters across the district. Um, and and when you look at, uh, the electorate, um, 68, we were successful in 68 of the 86 precincts, um, 23 of the 26 polling locations, and then 16 of the largest. So I think Mr. Lester you mentioned uh as far as a community vote. So when I look at that this is really uh again represents the one and Tangi community as far as um the support for this bond issue. So uh extremely grateful for um all of the support that we've received um during the uh bond campaign. Uh so what happens next? So, I
065just want to uh again just to remind uh the community and uh folks in the room where these buildings will be located. So, this is the site of Elementary 18, which is a southwest corner of Bean Aller uh Road and Sawmill Parkway. So, north of Liberty High School. Um you can see Sawmill Parkway and then Bean Aller up there and that uh 24 acres will be the site for elementary 18. And then if you just continue to go up north uh go north on Sawmill Parkway, we own 139 acres uh northwest corner of Bunty Station Road in Sawmill. So that will be the site um for high school 5. Uh construction timeline, it's actually already begun with the design um for elementary 18 and high school 5. Uh construction will start on both sites the
066spring of 26 and then um elementary 18 will open in the fall of 27 and then high school 5 the following year in the fall of 28. Um so what that means for us immediately uh obviously um we've opened a lot of uh buildings here in the district. So we will reconvene our redistricting committee. So we're currently forming that committee. So we'll invite uh past committee members back and then we'll also add new committee new committee members uh this time. So uh we're working on that now. The first meeting will be uh December uh 2025 and uh Dr. Fedy will lead um that group uh going through the redistricting and then we'll have district uh leadership team members as well uh part of that committee as well. And >> if I may um is there
067intention in the formation of that committee? Is there uh real intention to make sure there's uh equalish representation from both west side, east side? >> Yeah. So the composite of that, we're going to do our best to to uh hopefully make that happen. Absolutely. >> Well, north and south, too. >> Absolutely. >> Right. Representative of >> the district in its entirety. >> Yeah. >> Well, yeah. >> Well, just because the construction is happening up north doesn't mean that the people who live on the south end don't have something to say about where their kids go to school. depending >> well and as and as a person who form but prior to board service served on a redistricting committee um and I feel like at that time it was the group that I was with was
068maybe heavy on one side and then I think it it just >> yeah and and and that's important too because again when we're because I'm getting to my next bullet point we're going to look at uh redistricting holistically because um we're the the committee is very thoughtful and intentional on how we draw these attendant attendance boundaries with feeder patterns from elementary to middle school to middle school to high school and obviously now with the fifth high school. It adds some complexities there. So, um you know, we're going to do our best to have representation from across the district because there will be some other impact across the district besides um the next couple years besides just going into these two schools because it's going to be important for us to balance uh enrollment. Just to
069make it crystal clear, everything is a little bit easier with the buildings that will be coming online. Everything can be more geographic, can be more balanced, can be >> everything is a little bit easier with the new buildings because redistricting doesn't look as nice when you are overcrowded. >> Correct. Oh yeah, absolutely. 100%. So it's it you use the word easier. Um it's more it's more pleasant to redistrict into a new building, but you know, we have to look at the whole district too because, you know, we're making decisions in feeder patterns and we are looking ahead too. Um so uh and then that second bullet there under the committee meetings, you know, so as soon as this December and then going through um the winter and the spring, we'll have to determine if redistricting
070is necessary for 2627 because remember elementary 18 will not open till the fall of 27 high school um the fall of 28. So we really have to look at um what that means for 2627. And again, I said I said this uh when we went through the redistricting the last time, we're not going to move people just to move them. Um you know, again, there's a lot of thought that goes into uh balancing enrollment. So, uh the committee uh will do their best and um we'll work through that process and then we'll give an update that you see February 2026. Um we'll have some committee members uh here in front of the board to give an update on where they are in the process and then obviously moving forward. um uh throughout the process. All
071right, action items. Uh so we're excited to I'm recommending approval of an administrative employment for Ron Vogel for director of safety, security, and prepare uh preparedness effective November 17th. So I just uh pulled some highlights from uh uh Ron's resume. So I'm pleased to share we are recommending uh for hire Mr. Ronald Vogel as Olanti's next director of safety, security, and preparedness. Mr. Vogle has over 30 years of service in law enforcement with experience in leadership, community relations, security operations, and emergency response. Some of you, and I know Mr. O'Brien for sure, uh may recognize Mr. Vogle. So, he there. Come on. They can't see behind. This is uh Mr. Vogel. So, some of you may recognize uh Mr. Mr. Vogel from his time as a school resource officer here in Tangi schools during his
07225-y year tenure with the Delaware County Sheriff's Office where he earned the rank of lieutenant. So since then he's continued his public service as a deputy sheriff corrections with the Franklin County Sheriff's Office. So um we're uh happy to have uh Ron here. He's going to be a great addition to our staff. He knows our community really really well and he knows our school district really really well. So he's uh he's going to hit the ground running next week, right? Absolutely. So >> Yep. Thank you. >> And also uh accept with regret the following certified retirements. We have four up there. So long tenur um uh certified professionals with the district. So I I say this all the time, 106 years of service combined between the four retirees. So, we for sure want to thank
073uh Kimberly, Patricia, um Margaret, and um uh Mia for their years of service uh to Tangi Schools. So, um wish them the best as you can see their retirement dates as they uh move on uh in life. Also, uh recommend approval of student overnight and out of state trips. And then, uh one business management facilities item uh declare transportation as impractical. Coming up, important dates. Uh, classified interview day, November 19th, conference exchange day, so no school. Uh, November 20, Wednesday, November 26th, and then Thanksgiving break there, uh, for the 27th and 28th. Uh, we'll have professional development day, uh, Monday, December 1st, and then our next board of education meeting. And again, this is another date change, Tuesday, December 16th at 6:30 right back here. >> All right. Thank you, Mr. Meyer. Appreciate it. >>
074Uh, >> no claps. No claps for you. [Applause] >> Clap, Mr. Jenkins, treasure. >> Good evening, board members. Um, kind of was trying to think of what we might be able to show. Um, the cup report is something that we like to talk about. Um, when we talk about the exceptional value of the district, we take a look at what we spend uh per pupil. The cup report hasn't been released yet. Um, but the preliminary EMIS data that it's based on has been. Um, and so this week I was kind of noodling around with taking a look at where we rank. And the good news is, um, we have a ranking and we picked some representative schools around us. Uh certainly Big Walnut and Delaware are representative uh in that they're just geographically uh in
075the same place that we are. They might not otherwise be so similar, but the other schools that we would have pulled, you know, Westerville City, New Albany, um Buckeye Valley would be another example of a district that not is not terribly similar outside of geography, but you can see all the way down to what we would call uh your large um urban districts. Um we uh continue to spend at $17,263 per pupil, less than the state average. Uh so we'll be able to talk about that in just another minute when I show that slide. One of the things the cup report does is it divides by funded enrollment. So as folks maybe try to replicate these numbers, uh if you're going to ask OD how many students are here, the answer is it depends on
076whether you're looking at funded enrollment, headcount enrollment. Um, so CUP is going to look at our funded enrollment and so you can see where that ranks. But if you dig a little bit deeper, the state average at $17,329, again, we're still below that. And then the state average administrative expense per pupil is $2387. When you look at where we are, uh, again, that's $17,263 per pupil. That's $66 lower than the state average. Remember, the state average isn't just districts our size. That's districts that would be much much smaller than us all over the state of Ohio. And then the two, I guess, hallmarks of of what I really want to kind of pull pull out and accentuate this evening is we're currently spending 9.57% of our operational expenses uh on administrative costs at $1652 per
077pupil. That is the 12th lowest across the entire state of Ohio based on total expenditures per pupil as a proportionate percentage. Uh that is something that I think is incredible. Uh that as a district we continue to have a lean uh for lack of a better word overhead. And the antithesis of that would be uh where we're putting money directly into the classroom. And at $13,000 per pupil and 75.31% by percentage, there's only six schools in the entire state of Ohio that put uh more of a proportion of what they do directly into the classroom. I think that uh talks about as a you know very representative couple of statistics that we do educational excellence at an exceptional value. So I just wanted to kind of point that out this evening um and then see
078if there were any questions about those two brief slides. So, what I'll know is when when you get into discussions about school funding and other stuff, it becomes a really popular line, say, "Well, your administrative costs are out of control or you're spending way too much." And all those sorts of things. Um, and I always encourage people, I mean, the cup report, this is obviously preliminary, so it's not up yet, but prior year's cup reports are up. You can go look at them. I I send people I tell them the exact row to check on these things. Um, and there are, you know, it's not just a matter of us being a large public school district. As you go back two slides or so, and you look at the three that are bigger than us,
079Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati, they're all spending thousands and thousands more per people pupil than we are, right? So, it's not just a matter of scale. It's a matter of being thoughtful about how we're doing it. Um, that's a real focus of this board. I mean, something we talk about a lot with Mr. Meyer and and with the community and with Mr. Jenkins. Um but you know some of those common narratives are not they're just not true here. Um and it's not because of accidents because we're working hard to make sure that we're doing it the most effective way for the community. That's something we are really highlighting in in the discussions around the bond issue and something we'll continue to work at. It's it's hard especially as you face inflation some of these other things
080to work at that. But but I appreciate this information because it it really highlights that we're what we're say we're doing we're actually doing. >> Yeah. It it it was something that I thought could help set the tone. We just passed our bond issue. Um as you mentioned, Mr. Lester, in your president's report, certainly there are folks out there uh who didn't see eye to eye with the district on what to do next. uh hopefully they can see eye to eye on. We're doing everything that we possibly can within our power uh to efficiently spend the dollars that we do get from our community to produce a a highquality public education uh at an exceptional value. Um that is all that I have uh as far as for just kind of updates. Uh the only
081items I would have this evening uh board meeting minutes from October 29th. It was kind of fun. Um the uh October 2025 monthly financials uh are are there but if you take a look at them uh and then you look at the FY26 permanent appropriations uh that is updated because um there's actually for the first time uh I' I've put a small chunk of budget in there in our O4 fund which will be when we start construction uh for high school 5 and elementary 18. So that is the first um change financially so to speak uh in in our budget to be able to start working on those facilities as soon as possible and that will be as normal uh presented uh as a consent agenda. Um and then there are no uh public participation
082forms this evening. >> Okay. >> All right. >> Just one quick question. When is your next three-year forecast due? That would be February. >> So, not May again. >> That's correct. The budget bill uh would have changed it to August and February. And the only reason this year it was October 15th was because the as you know with a a bianium budget being approved on July 1, it's not effective for 90 days. And so the provision of the law that would have required August is obviously in the first year uh beyond the scope of the new law. So I forget the section of the budget bill that made for the very first goound October 15th but moving forward August February August to February until it changes again. >> And as every good financial planner knows
083you should only look shortterm, right? So, we're only doing three years this time, right? >> We will always do a 5-year forecast. Um, >> but you submit a three. >> It will always be truncated um essentially. And technically, you could call it a four-year because you're um I mean, the year we're in, the 2526 school year is not finished. So, I have a forecast as to where I think this year will end. Then, you're going to prospectively forecast three subsequent fiscal years. So, I don't know if you call it the 3+ 1 or the four. Um, but technically there are four years that aren't finished. And then, uh, retrospectively three years. >> We're still workshopping the names. We We'll get back to >> I like plus one. I might trademark that. >> Yeah, sounds good.
084All right. Thank you, Mr. Jenkins. >> Please clap. >> Yeah, for that. >> All right. So we have no public participation. We will move to the first board action item which is recommended approval of the FY26 number two board policy updates. These are the ones that were presented at the last meeting. Uh so we had that that reading and uh now they're up. So can I have a motion to approve uh these uh board policy updates? >> So moved. >> A second. >> Second. >> Any discussion? All right. Hearing none. Mr. Jenkins. >> Dr. Dabberco. >> Yes. >> Dr. Wallik. Yes, >> Mr. O'Brien. >> Yes, >> Miss Shriber. >> Yes, >> Mr. Lester. >> Yes. All right, Mr. Jenkins. The treasurer consent action items. >> As noted, board members uh in my presentation, uh
085there are three items to be presented tonight as one single consent agenda. I'm asking that each item uh actually all items be considered with one motion uh and action. That's item A, approval of the board meeting minutes from October 29th. Item B, uh, acceptance of the financials from October of 2025. And then item C, uh, the updated and revised permanent appropriations which reflect our first budget change for the new buildings. >> And again, all all one motion in action, unless someone would like to pull them out and uh, discuss and vote separate. >> Would anyone like to vote on these separately? Could we uh pull a uh was that and I weren't able to be at that meeting and I'd hate to vote on minutes. >> Can you give me just >> when I wasn't
086here? >> Yeah. No problem. >> Good catch. [Music] >> Brain trust over here. >> It's a prom experience. >> You might not have been might not have been my catch. Okay. So, I will restate I will we'll recapitulate. Um item A, recommend the acceptance of the October 2025 monthly financials and item B uh approval of the permanent appropriations, those two items as a consent agenda. >> Okay. So, item A, uh can I have a motion to entertain approval of the October 29th minutes? >> So moved. >> A second. I will second it. Any discussion? All right. Hearing none, Mr. Jenkins. >> Dr. Wallik. >> Abstain. >> Flip-flop. >> Huh? >> I pulled a out. >> Oh, you pulled a out. >> I thought you just did that. >> You went A now. I thought we
087were doing the first heard. >> Wo. Okay. >> Ryan wasn't from last week. just brush up on Robert's rules of order for the next >> Well, I just I made I made a nine. Sorry. >> Oh, >> does that make sense? >> Yes. Follow my lead. Sorry. >> All right. So, let's let's pull that back. So, we will uh vote on uh BNC. Does anyone want to pull either of those out as a separate? >> Okay. >> Yeah. Sorry. >> Yes. >> All right.
