001All right. Good evening everybody. I will call this meeting to order of the uh regular meeting of the entangelical school district board of education. It's July 9th. Uh Mr. Jenkins, can you please call the role? Mr. Lester here. Dr. Dabberco here. Dr. Wallak here. Mr. O'Brien here. Miss Shriber here. All right. Please join in the pledge of allegiance. I pledge algiance 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. All right. I don't believe we have any amendments to the agenda. Hearing none, I'll entertain a motion to approve. So moved. A second. Second. All right. Any discussion? All right. Hearing none, Mr. Jenkins. Mr. Lester, yes. Dr. Dabberco, yes. Dr. Wallik, yes. Mr. O'Brien, yes. Miss
002Shriber, yes. All right, the board president's report. So, we've been discussing the past uh several months, really this entire calendar year, the state budget process. Um, at our last meeting about two weeks ago, we had reported that the legislature had just approved uh the the budget and was sending it over to the governor. And it's uh you know, you never know at that point. the governor has veto power. So, we're a little bit of wait and see exactly what was going to happen. Um I I think overall there's um some uh interesting news to report out of this. I'm not going to say necessarily positive, but there are some things that are not negative uh as part of it. Uh I think the upshot of this is that our funding is not really meaningfully increasing.
003um the state uh you know the funding formulas have changed a little bit over the years from the fair school funding plan to some of these other things that they're trying to do now but we're not really seeing a meaningful increase in what the state is uh giving to schools like on Tangi and as we face an incredibly growing population um as we see a community that has to shoulder a very high uh proportion of what goes into that um it's disappointing certainly that we're not seeing from the legislature the the type of relief for property taxes that this community has been asking for for a very long time. Um, we talked about the ways that that played out and there were some of the permutations of the budget that could have led to even
004less funding that would have been certainly much worse. Um, but we're not really seeing a meaningful improvement either. So, this is something that we certainly uh we have heard from the community about. We know that people are frustrated about and we encourage people to really talk with uh their legislators about it as a continued issue. Um, one of the things that we we devoted an incredible amount of time to was some of these additional provisions that were added into the budget, including this idea of a clawback that would have limited the operating carryover that school districts could have um because of how it would have worked if that's applied, you know, right right off the bat, it could have had very very significant impacts on all in Tangi. um it would have forced us to
005restructure how we do things at the risk of losing millions and millions of dollars and then having a harder time of trying to go back and get that money back because we've already budgeted for it and need to address it for a district that is growing, right? It created some very very weird um you know ways that this would all play out and it was going to have a really significant negative impact on districts across the state. Um the positive news I think out of this is that the the governor vetoed that provision. So that that provision is no longer in the budget along with some of the other uh measures that the legislature had put in around how levies can proceed in the future. Um we're now in a wait and see mode to
006see what the legislature does. They have the ability to veto anything that the governor or I'm sorry they have the ability to override any of the vetos that the governor imposed with a three-fifths majority. There's been a little talk about some of the things. It's a little unclear, I would say, at this point, exactly what they're going to look at overriding and what they're not. There's been a bit of discussion. We're going to have to see. By the time we have our next board meeting, I would expect that we will know a little bit more there. Um, but this is why we are really encouraging the community to be informed about these issues, to reach out, to contact your legislators about them. We're not here to tell you you have to to believe that, you
007know, or you have to to reach the same conclusion that we do. We are here to tell you this has a really significant impact on you as a community, on your schools, on your pocketbooks. Um, if anybody carries pocketbooks anymore, but but I mean that's it. It it it has a real meaningful impact on people. So, you need to learn about it. Take the time um on our school advocacy page, which we'll include in the write up of this. We have information for all of our legislators where you can talk to them about it. Again, we're not we're not going to tell you this is the only way that anybody could feel about it, but again, it has some really significant impacts and it's also going to have impacts on how we proceed as a
008district in the future relative to financing. Right? If we're not getting more from the state and we're growing and we need, you know, additional facilities, there's steps that we have to take. So, we'll continue to have that discussion. As always, all of us are happy to talk with anybody in the community about this to explain a little bit more. It's exceedingly complex um all the different factors of this but you know happy to to demystify it to work through it um and continue to to be part of this community discussion. Um with that any other uh committee updates anything? No committee updates but I did want to add on to that um as we kind of expected there to be a summer break in the legislature. I have heard that there is going to be
009a reconvening on July 21st to do some what they call property tax relief. Um, you know, I think a lot of things that we find to be detrimental to our schools are kind of um labeled as property tax relief. So, I think that's an opportunity that that we have to reach out, like a very specific opportunity to reach out before July 21st to um let our representatives who represent us here in Delaware County and the portions of um Franklin that that go to um schools to let them know um what vetos we would not prefer that they override. Yeah. I mean, it is it's a really it's all about the framing, right? But, you know, there's there are a lot of ways that you can give property tax relief. Property tax relief is something we're
010certainly very interested in, but how you do it matters and the impacts that can come from it are real significant. So, uh, okay, great. So, we will move on then to the superintendent report. So, Mr. Meyer. All right. Thank you. Hopefully you all enjoyed the Fourth of July weekend and um we're back here this week. But uh brief superintendent report tonight. I'm going to keep it to superintendent action items and some future dates, but uh wanted to point out we're uh finishing up hiring for the um 2526 school year. So tonight we have uh many replacements as far as administrative positions and and I always say this obviously we wish our administrators who um go on to do other things in their career. We wish them well but also provides an opportunity for us here
011to uh bring in new administrators um who will uh offer value to the district. So um you can see uh many uh administrative recommendations there tonight. uh Rebecca Connell, supervisor of pupil services, Christopher Craig, and I do want to point out Christopher because he is here tonight. So, from uh being recommended as assistant principal from Bergkshire Middle School, who was a teacher at Berkshire Middle School, um Mary Ellis goes by Ellie Ellis, um recommending her for the as the new principal at Orange High School. Uh, Kelly Long, uh, Johnny K. Corner's assistant principal, John McDonald, uh, CMF supervisor, Lauren Moore, Owen, Tangi Meadows, uh, elementary assistant principal, Lauren Remy, supervisor of pupil services, Tamisha Rogers, uh, recommending recommending her for the Shale Meadows assistant principal. And Tamisha is here. And we already made a connection
012because we were both she graduated from Firestone High School. I taught at Firestone High School. Nice. Before you were born. I am getting old. So, welcome uh Philip Sharp uh CMF supervisor and uh Elizabeth Liz Weingard who is being elevated to replace uh Mrs. Janei um at Shell Meadows Elementary. Um so again, just want to congratulate all these individuals here. Uh so I will be reing recommending them for employment. Um you know I just do want to say uh we were very pleased administratively um from a leadership team standpoint of the quality individuals we had in our uh interview pools uh this summer and actually this past spring as well. Uh I I we we really had some really high quality internal applicants and um I think when it's all said and done, we're going
013to hire uh about 25 new administrators this summer, most replacements. Um but I I think last count um 15 will be internal. Um so uh we're we're really happy to see that uh in the organization. Also want to point out um business and management business management facility items uh declare transportation as impractical for students. Um also we're recommending approval of district cyber insurance coverage through the Ohio school plan. So as you remember a couple meetings ago we approved uh our um insurance through the Ohio school plan. So this is another great job by the business department. Uh you can see it's for $35,000. we're actually going to save money. Um, which uh really is good for uh obviously the districts. It's about $11,000, but still savings um especially when we're we're shopping out uh cyber
014insurance. Um and then also uh recommend approval and authorize the chief operations officer and or the director of business uh and facilities as designate um to auction or dispose of district items potentially valued over 500 thou $500 not 500,000 500 uh in fiscal year 26 that are no longer usable or cost effective to repair. So this is a we do this every year and we ask the board to approve that. And then finally um we're going to re I'm recommending approval of the third amendment to an existing contract uh with Fanning Howy. Uh this will be for schematic design through construction document services for high school 5. Uh if we continue and uh to proceed um moving forward with a resolution to proceed uh with the bond issue to for high school 5. So actually
015I'm going to have Mr. Gordon come up and discuss that item here tonight before uh you all vote on it. So, important dates. Again, after July 4th, it's just like I know summer's not over, but it seems like summer's over because thinks it is. It's got the school supplies. Yeah. The start of school will be here before you know it. But, um how dare you? Let it Let it I think Don't you get in a couple extra weeks? That's all. Let's maybe one. Um but I do want to point out administrative kickoff. So all of our administrators will be back in the district. Um so Monday July 28th uh and Tangi Elevate um 2025 will be Thursday July 31st. Uh so we'll have a lot of staff members on uh in the district on that
016day to uh take part in professional development to kick off the school year. And then um our next regular board of education meeting will be uh Tuesday, August 5th. Um so we had changed that I think a couple months ago and moved that to Tuesday, August 5th at uh 6:30. Great. Well, uh Mr. Craig, Miss Rogers, really appreciate you being here. We're always uh excited when folks come to the board meetings and and hopefully obviously already being in the district, you know, a little bit of what it's like about, but um certainly wish you the best and we have a very strong culture here um in this district and it's because of the people, right? So, we we are always excited to welcome new additions to the team and wish you the very best and
017and look forward to seeing all the great things you'll do. So, thank you. Great. All right, Mr. Jenkins, Treasures Report. Good evening, board members. I'm going to be equally as brief this evening. Uh, basically three items that I'll ask you to consider as a consent agenda. Um, obviously these items will be one motion and and vote unless you'd like to pull them out and discuss them separately. They're terribly riveting. Uh it's the approval of last uh board meetings uh minutes, the 2025 updated final appropriations. It may seem a little odd that we're approving the final budget of the FY25, two weeks into FY26, but there were so much that was moving around at the end of June um that a few adjustments needed to be made. And then finally, the June 2025 monthly financials. Um,
018the only thing I'll add is, uh, one of the, um, articles in the Columbus Dispatch talked about the, uh, legislature reconvening. Uh, the three main items that seem to have the momentum uh, would be the items uh, you know, as Mr. Lester mentioned, not the clawback, at least as for now. Um but the items that would be potentially there uh would be any levy that traditionally has not contributed to the 20 mil floor. Um things like fixed sum levies uh emergency levies uh combined income tax and uh fixed sum levies uh together uh would add to that 20 mil floor. The effect would be for those districts that are at the 20 mil floor, they would come off of the 20 mil floor so that there would be continued roll back uh of their levies.
019Uh the other thing uh that's still there would be the expanded powers um of the budget commission. Um, that would be the ability for the budget commission to have a a much greater ability to review uh any uh budget items that are submitted by a local government authority and decide that their cash reserves were such that they could reduce levies. Um, they sort of have that authority right now, but this this would expand and make it much clearer that that they have uh that authority. Are these elected people? Who are these these folks that have such your budget commission would all be elected folks? Um, right now the traditional budget commission is the county auditor, the county treasurer, and the county prosecutor. Moving forward, that's one of the other changes in the budget bill that
020wasn't vetoed is that a commissioner can act as a proxy uh for the county prosecutor. Um, so all three of those, I believe, in all 88 Ohio counties, uh, are can or must. They don't have to. I don't think it's a must. I I could be wrong on that. Um, I I know there was an iteration that was going to completely take out the county prosecutor. I think it's now there's a way it could be the county um commissioner but it doesn't have to be. One more thing about your financials you know every it kind of circles and comes in cycles where people are will ask about transparency. I want people to know that every penny we spend is available in the lengthy lengthy detail of what so when someone goes to Menard's to buy
021something for a sprinkler part that we need at Indian Springs it's in the monthly financials and I it's usually like 60 70 pages. Does that sound about right? Yeah. The monthly financial report is anywhere between 30 to 70 pages and probably 95% of the 30 to 70 pages is our check register. Um the only items that aren't fleshed out to that level of detail uh are things like the payroll checks that we would write each month. There's an aggregate number there. Our workers compensation claims that we pay. uh our health care claims that we pay uh but every penny that we spend every month uh is disclosed in our u treasures report and monthly financials. So thank you for providing that. maybe four or five years ago they talked about in the um finance and
022audit committee like wow do we need to even you know how many people are really it doesn't matter how many people are looking at it if one person wants to see it they should be able to find it and it should be easy and as few clicks as possible so thank you for for for doing that that's the goal um so thank you for thanking me um you're welcome the final piece of the uh budget bill that it looks at least like the U. Legislature will have potentially the the will to consider the overturning is certain types of levies um were outlawed and the governor vetoed and those leveies would be uh replacement levies, fixed sum levies, essentially any levy that traditionally has not contributed to the 20 mil floor. So you kind of see
023how the two work in tandem. Um the property tax relief was removing those levies from even have the authority to be levied moving forward. Um then for existing ones they would contribute to the 20 mil floor. So those are the three items uh that remain. Um again as Mr. Lester noted the one that would have impacted us the most significantly uh was the uh clawback provision. And at least for now, from what we can tell, that's not necessarily something that they're considering an override of the veto. And I'm glad you said at least for now because my understanding is they have until December 31st of 26 to um change their minds and and decide to to to even further destroy public education. So through that clawback because it really would change h how we are
024able to plan. So I I got a a civics lesson. Um I I thought they had, you know, 30 days, 60 days. Uh any bill passed for the entirety of the 136th General Assembly, which will not end until December 31st of 2026, they have the authority during that entire session uh to decide to try to override any vetos. I I mean, as I said at the outset, it all sort of horribly complex. I don't expect everybody has levy trading cards with all the different types of levies that you that you laid out there. I I'm not sort of uh poo pooing the idea of having different um different adjustments around some of those sorts of things. They're not going to impact us a whole lot, those those couple different types that you're talking about, but
025maybe they make, you know, differences there. what what I think the message is for this type of community this is not addressing the issue that we've been seeing the past you know 20 30 years around state funding whether they veto that or not whe what the governor did that that's not meaningfully moving the ball relative to us um so you know when the last levy failed there was discussion about the state coming in and providing a lot more funding that's just not happening right so that I think that's the overarching message there's a lot of little moving pieces here and the clawback would abs absolutely have a very significant impact but no matter what we're not getting sort of meaningfully tax relief from the state. So that's correct. Tangi schools uh we don't even have
026any of those fixed sum levies. We we run your traditional uh what are called fixed rate levies um that get rolled back uh anytime property values increase. And we're also uh working off of past formulas as we move forward that while we're appreciative of increases that have been made. Uh we still have a scenario where if you look at uh the proportion of funding that we get relative to even just base cost. Um you know we we are not one of those districts that's going to get a significant uh proportion of state funding uh that takes care of that base cost. were just the opposite. Uh in fact, the formula um will take the base cost number next year, as we've discussed, to about $830 per pupil. So, we talked about uh last meeting, well,
027why are you saying you're going to get $1,500? Remember, uh and we're appreciative, very appreciative of the growth supplement at $225 per pupil. There will be a $13 per pupil times the number of stars, which is five, times the number of students. Uh that's also a supplement that I did the math on the other day. Rounds out another 200 some odd dollars per kid. Uh then there's just a flat $27 per pupil supplement uh that the Senate threw in. And then finally some of the other components uh categorical funding like special education, career technical. When you add all that up, that's how the base cost goes from 830 to about 1,500. But the core funding in the formula, uh, we are going to essentially the 10% um minimum threshold of of about $800 a kid.
028And and I I only bring all that up not to be pessimistic, but to note that if in the future those supplements or those categorical add-ons go away, that's when we're essentially back to levels of funding that we traditionally knew uh weren't necessarily what what's in the best interest of our community. Right. And at $1,500 or so, it's slightly less than 10% of the cost per pupil. That's correct. Right. So 90% is picked up by the community plus some other federal and limited federal. At $800 we're talking 5%, right? I mean it's just it's Yeah. So the state basically pays about the first nine days of the school year and then we cover the rest, right? Yeah. That's one way to think about it. Yeah. Those are great nine days though. Yeah. So after August,
029you're on your own. So that is all I have for this evening unless there's other questions. And I don't have any public participation. Okay, sounds good. So we will then move on to Mr. Gordon, the discussion item. Just check my math real quick. Good evening. I will also attempt to be brief. Um the item that uh we want to discuss tonight that is on your agenda for approval is the contract with Fanning Howy uh for the design of uh future high school. Uh the importance of getting this on now is the lead time on a high school is very long. So um whenever we move forward, we will need to move quickly. So we want to have uh those things in place. This contract uh here is for the full amount and I'll cover how
030we got there in a in a moment, but it's for the full amount including design services as well as construction services. Um I I say the contract the negotiation that you saw attached to the documents we are approving amendment tonight just for the design services. So if we are in a situation that we don't move forward immediately we stop at design. We're not committed to the design services. So um when we are ready to move forward with the actual construction we'll have to come back with another amendment. But through these documents, we've locked in that cost so that cost wouldn't go up on us if we had a delay where it was stretched out for a period of time. The other thing that I wanted to note um you know we've had a great relationship
031with Fanning Howy uh over the years we've negotiated um generally a 4 and a half 4.5% fee whereas with OFCC projects it's generally a 6 and a half% fee. Sometimes you get those negotiated down districts outside of OFCC um get that lower because we do replications and repeatedly work with Fanning Howy. They we've stuck to that 4.5%. An oddity that's happened the last several years and and with us building high schools over and over. We built uh Berlin High School started construction 2016 negotiated 4 and a.5% fee on cost. What happened in between is we all saw after 2020 construction costs went up considerably. And so when we started negotiating for this and and uh uh and started discussions for possible future middle school, I um asked Fanning Highway the question of have your costs
032gone up at the same rate that construction costs and materials have gone up. Um because my concern was we're building a high school. Um at that time we started the discussions. We were starting a high school about 5 years, six years after the last high school and construction costs are driving that up. And if it's a percentage of that cost and your your high school's gone up almost doubled from the time that we built the last one, have the fees and they agreed that they had not. Um the one thing they didn't want to give up was the 4.5%. Because if we came to some discounted rate, which we did, they didn't want to be locked in 5 years from now that okay, well, last time you did it for 3.5% or 3% and they
033they the district would expect that from them all the time. So, what we agreed to was to apply the 4 and a half% but to a lower construction number. The result of that being um in the memo was the discount on the fee of $583,000. So, we were able to knock that down versus what we would have paid if we paid four and a half% on the full cost. So, um, in order to to bring that down to what Banny Howie felt was fair for them on their cost, but give us that breaks that that they didn't receive the full benefit of the escalation on prices. So, um, again, that's the strong partnership we've had with them and then working with them repeatedly, we're able to to work through that. So, so two quick things
034on that for um for people that may have missed a board meeting and as we're talking about this, I know everybody out there's tuning in every week, but the um at our last meeting we uh passed a resolution of necessity where we that would enable us if we decided at a later point to go on the ballot for a bond issue. We have not decided that officially at this point. Um, but as we continue to consider it, if we decide to go there and if it goes on the ballot and if it passes such that it will allow us to build a fifth high school, we need to be ready for it. And, you know, one of the the big things that we try to do, especially knowing that state funding is not coming through
035at levels that we hope, is to try to avoid costs whenever we can and save costs whenever we can. So, this is a proactive measure that will allow us to save some costs if we decide to go there. not locked into anything, but it would allow us to do that and save some of that money, which again is cost savings to the community. So, just want to tie those, you know, those threads together. Yes. Yes. And and uh and again, we're only going as far as design. If the board, we know at some point we're going to have a fifth high school or need to have that need. Um so, we just go up to design and then when we're ready to move forward, we have the plans ready to go. Um if it was
036delayed for a long period of time, we might have to do some building code adjustments, but right now we're in pretty good shape with with that. So great. Okay. Uh good. Any other questions? I just one quick one. So with breaking apart design and and construction, could you change providers between the two? Yeah. Yeah. So we're not locked in, right? No, we're not locked in. And um my understanding is so I say that that's my understanding that once we design that document as ours we could take it to somebody else to to build it's it's they do it with ours. They own the blueprint. Somebody couldn't replicate that and do that elsewhere. But I believe we could have somebody else manage the process for us once we had that design document. Okay. So is my
037understanding. I would have to confirm it for sure. That's I've had that conversation when we started back with Berlin High School and we had a conversation about do we use the same architect or a different one? We had talked about can we use do still do replication if we go with a different firm and the answer was yes we could. So that's why I my I answer that way. Mr. Gordon, do you remember off the top of your head how much we save by replicating instead of starting from new? because I remember it was in a slide at one point, but I'm a little bit hazy. It was it was a big chunk of change by not starting from new on every So, in other words, when we walk into high school 5, it's not
038going to be difficult to find the bathrooms. It's probably in a similar location as they are in other high schools, right? I I was just looking because I saw that number today and see if I could pull it up um quickly. I might not be able to. It was in excess of three million, but I think it may have been closer to six. Thinking back to the levy slides. Your memory is better than mine. Yeah, it was it was between that, but it was at least uh uh 3 million. Uh okay, any other questions? Good. Thank you. All right, so we're going to move now to our board action items. as uh just to sort of introduce this a little bit. We've been talking at several board meetings about uh the possibility of accepting a
039resignation from Superintendent Meyer in uh toward uh the purpose of retire rehire so that he would then retire, resign so he could officially retire and then be rehired by the district. This is a move that a number of other districts do. Um and you know it it serves uh you know purposes for Mr. Meyer personally. It doesn't cost the district anything else. It's it's a competitive um thing that we're seeing in a lot of places. Uh the board considered this over the spring uh to decide whether to allow this. Ultimately uh decided that that would be something that we would put up through the public uh process where we have to have it at several board meetings where it's considered. We had some discussion I think two meetings ago. Um and then now is our
040chance to vote on. So there's two separate board action items. One to accept Mr. for Meyer's resignation and then one to remploy him. It will be a very short break in between uh which he will I don't know do all prank snow calls I'm sure or something like that one day. Yes. But uh but it it would be a very quick turnaround so that he's basically gone what gone on Friday and back on Monday um and then would be remployed with a five-year contract uh beginning on August 2nd. So we'll have two votes on this. The first is whether to accept Mr. Meyer's uh resignation uh for the purposes of retirement and initiating his uh earn retirement benefits effective July 31st and then the second would be to re-employ him on that that contract. Uh
041so I will first entertain a motion to accept Mr. Mai's resignation for the purposes of retirement. Uh can I have a motion? So moved. A second. Any discussion? All right. Hearing none. Uh Mr. Jenkins. Dr. Dabberco. Yes. Dr. Wallock. Yes, Mr. O'Brien. Yes, Miss Shriber. Yes, Mr. Lester. Yes. All right. Now's the point where we delay and make him nervous. We'll now take a vote to reapply Mr. Meyer as superintendent on a 5-year contract beginning August 2nd, 2025 and continuing through July 31st, 2030, where we'll probably have flying cars at that point. Uh such appointment to be in accordance with the terms and conditions as set forth in the written contract document presented to this board. Can I have a motion to remploy Mr. Meyer? So moved. A second. Second. Any discussion? All right. Mr.
042Jenkins. Dr. Wallik. Yes. Mr. O'Brien. Yes. M Shriber. Yes. Mr. Lester. Yes. Dr. Dabbero. Yes. All right. Mr. Jenkins. The treasurer consent action items. Uh board members, as noted in the uh treasures report, I have a slate of three items this evening that I'd like you to consider as a consent calendar. Um one motion and vote, unless you would like to pull any of these items out uh separately to discuss and vote. Item A is the approval of the minutes from June 26th. Item B is the approval of the fiscal year 2025 final final updated appropriations. And then item C is the acceptance of the June 2025 monthly financials. Again, uh, one single motion and vote unless you would like to discuss any item on its own. Would anyone like to discuss any of these
043separately? All right. Hearing none. Uh, can I have a motion to approve them as a single slate of consent action items? So moved. A second. I'll second it. Any discussion? All right. Hearing none. Mr. Jenkins. Mr. O'Brien. Yes. Miss Shriber. Yes. Mr. Lester. Yes, Dr. Dabberco. Yes, Dr. Waller. Yes. Uh Mr. Meyer, before you get to those, I should have mentioned that uh Mr. Meyer's done a really excellent job in his first contract. Um as superintendent um is uh really just performed exceedingly well. Um really leading with heart and and focusing on the people uh all across the community in the district. Um so it is certainly a pleasure for us to remploy them on a five-year contract. But I think sometimes the concern with retire rehire is you get people that checked out. That
044is not going to be an issue with Mr. Meyer. We know that um we don't have we didn't even have to say it because he's one of the hardest working people I've ever worked with.
