Some or champion somewhere around here. Go ahead, Mr. Elmard. [Music] Hello to our school board members here and all of our esteemed uh central office bosses. Uh I just wanted to share uh that I've had the great pleasure of watching Clare Isafano um show up at Turpin uh as a 14-year-old Pv Valter who you could tell had a great passion for it uh work really really hard. I mean, it's not easy to work hard or to it's not easy to work on pole vault. Uh you can't just take your pole and go out anywhere and do it like her and the support of
004her family have just dove into this sport and uh have embraced it. And last year as a sophomore uh she was a division one state champion in pole vault uh and went 12' 4 in. Uh she came back this year as a junior and increased uh one foot uh went 13 feet four inches and was uh the Ohio state champion this year as well. Uh additionally the state record is 13' 7 in for females. So uh got one more year came that close at 138 a couple times. Took three good shots at it. Uh but made 134 was a state champion. And then just in the last week, uh, she was at the Adidas National Championship meet in, uh, uh, the Carolinas, um, I think North Carolina ENT, and she actually won that meet as
005well. Um, and so, you know, if you're wondering, when you look at our kids in the hallways and our kids in the districts, I mean, she works hard and she found this sport that she loves. She gets after it. She's got great support from her family, incredible supporters of the Spartans. And if you could just join me in congratulating Claire on this awesome run and her state championship. Thank you, Jody. Uh do you mind if I I'll give this to you Claire from the Phil Board of Education? And here how about that? I don't get these chances much. [Music] to stay or leave. So, I'm guessing leave. You don't have to. Thank you very much. Yeah. Um, real quick, I wanted to acknowledge Claire as well. I have the pleasure of being friends with the
006Isopano family and um went up last year to state and watched Claire set the or win the state title and the amount of work she puts in is incredible. I mean more than just winning state um she's won 21 straight events as undefeated in the last two years holds the record for the Eastern Cincinnati Conference, the district and the region. And I think it's just a credit to her and her family as well as her coaches Dennis Rushi and Nicole Gaskins as well as athletic director. So, um, Claire, it's so awesome and can't wait to see you set the state record next year. Congratulations. Item six, reports to the board of education. We get the Forest Hills Teachers Association, Mr. Preston. Well, good evening members of the board. As we prepare for the upcoming academic
007year, I want to take a deep brief moment to communicate the work done over the summer and the collaborative efforts that continue to support our educators and our students. First, teachers are participating in summer professional development workshops focusing on a variety of topics. technology integration, AI literacy, and different differentiated instruction to name a few. We are excited for our staff to bring back valuable insights and tools to the district in order to support students excelling now and in the future. Second, FHTA leadership has maintained ongoing communication with district administration throughout this summer. Together, we have addressed mutual strategic priorities and discussed plans to help ensure a smooth transition back to school for both our students and our staff. Lastly, whether it's spending time with family, traveling, or catching up on their to-do list, our staff
008is recharging to be ready for our students this August. We are proud of the dedication shown by our teachers this summer and look forward to another successful 2025 2026 school year. Thank you all of you for your continued acknowledgement and support of the educators who work tirelessly for our students. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Chris. 7.1 Superintendent Update, Mr. Hook. Thank you, Mr. Bib, members of the board. Um, I had you had a chance to meet uh Mr. Zach Larson a little bit earlier, but I do want to uh let you know that you'll he'll be our recommendation to you later this evening as uh the next assistant principal at Maddox Elementary. Um Mr. Larson has worked the last two years as the assistant principal and preschool director at the Gan local school district
009and prior to that he's worked seven years as a third grade teacher in the Milford school district. So recently has been actively involved as a member of the Ohio Association of Elementary School Administrators. So we're very excited to welcome him to Maddox Elementary. So welcome Zach. And I saw my other guy slide in there just now. So, uh, Mr. Chad Raleigh, um, is coordinator for facilities and maintenance. And so, likewise, I'm also happy to introduce him, uh, to the board this evening. It's our recommendation that he he'll be Larry Corley's replacement who's leaving Forsill School District, uh, July 13. Uh Chad brings valuable experience from his time as a construction superintendent with uh Monarch Construction and uh where he was actually trained uh when Larry left Monarch, he came in and so he trained him.
010So you get gets trained twice by him. So welcome aboard and thank you very much. [Music] Awesome. Uh before I really get started too, I just wanted to real quickly update you on the selection of instructional material just to kind of keep you up to speed of where we're at. Um we're tracking right on schedule uh and the alignment with what I what I shared with you uh prior to the May meeting. Uh if you just to go back in April, midappril, we the district administration engaged a group of all of our principles and separately some of our media specialists just making sure and listening to them about how books get into our library, the selection proc the whole process. That's what I was most concerned about is the process. um as I had mentioned
011way back then that was in um our administrative guidelines which is how we fulfill board policy. So it's what we do at this level so that we're actually doing the right business that we should be. Um realized, huh, this thing hadn't been updated since about 2010. So very outdated. Um, so that was the goal was to, okay, let's get this thing so it's we're vetting things properly, um, taking care of business the way we should be, so it's not lighting on your table. And that's really the goal of of of board policy. Anyway, um, end of April, uh, we shared with our district leadership team a preliminary draft which is trying to work through, okay, what would it look like? How can we do it systematically, not be so cumbersome that it's just undoable? Because
012it's important because when we went back and looked at some of those books, there's no documentation. Anything was done. So that's the biggest piece is just making sure that we have a streamlined uh proper vetting procedure. Um we also received feedback in May um from our principles, our coordinators, um district personnel. Um I provided you guys with that initial draft. Um, today, not not today, but Monday was our uh last DT meeting with all of our principles, assistant principles, uh, and administrators before they go on hiatus for a month. So, we wanted to tweak that, make sure that we had our final edits kind of where we were at. And actually, we're working on it today a bit. So, um, very I want to thank our principles and assistant principles for the for the thoughtfulness
013on it. Um, and so before school starts, which should be mid August, but before school starts, we'll have a group of principles, media specialists at the secondary and at the elementary level just review the ones that we're that we were called into. um question just to make sure so we can cross our tees and dot our eyes and then we'll report back in August where we're at and what the rationale was. So, I just wanted to give you a quick break. I mean, it gets crazy at the end of the school year, so everybody's got all the closing activities and everything else. So, it was a chance for for them to really get in dig in this week. Um, but like I said, most of them will be finishing up their contract from this year
014and they'll be back first part of August and we'll hit it hit the ground running. Um, the other piece I wanted to run by you and this is already outdated. I put this up today. It's already outdated because just so you know where we're at in the whole bianial budget process. Okay. Um the conference committee. Okay. After the Senate gave their version, the House rejected it which forced the conference committee. There's six individuals. Three from the Senate, three from the House. The chair and vice chair of of both chambers are on it. Okay. And then the minority um leader from each one. So those six people hole up and they were basically still meeting middle of the night last night. Okay. Um they just and they released today the document and it's over a thousand
015and some pages. I read about a hundred and my eyes started going a little wacky but by and large by and large this is accurate. It's but this is like really cliffnote version. I'll have a more definitive one and uh in my board update and when I update you, I'll have a little more clarity with it. U right now, like I said, everybody's scrambling to pull out those pieces that apply to schools. Of course, the Cleveland Browns, as you know, are big winners and in in this whole thing. And so, they kind of sucked all they kind of sucked all the oxygen out of the bianial budget, I think. So, um I don't know what that means for the Bengals. I don't know. I haven't gotten that far in it. But as it as it
016relates to where that the conference committee now, what will also happen later tonight if it stays on track is the committee version will get voted on by both chambers by the full house, full senate. I expect it'll pass and then it goes to the governor. needs to be signed by the 30th, but obviously between now and then he's got line item veto powers and blah blah blah. We'll see. Right now, um what came out of committee is that is more leans more towards the Senate version which keeps the fair school funding uh plan in place but not with updates. Um that's that's what I'd heard earlier and that's what came out. Uh school district carryover balance was capped. Remember the House was at 30. The the Senate came at in at 50% of Indian cash
017balance. Um they put it at 40%. We'll get more detail, you know, in Atlanta will also be able to help you understand what that means. Well, we got to read the whole bill and the whole pieces so that we know are we just talking general fund. What are we all talking about? So, again, very cliffnotee version, but we're I'm feeling better because we still have the guarantee uh which for Forest Hill is is critical critical critical. Um the um House Bill 335 mainly the biggest concern was inside millillage. I mean that was that did not make it in the committee's version. It's still its own separate bill. Will it ever make it out of house ways and means? I don't know. We'll see. Time will tell. Um emergency and substitute levies are going to be
018part of the calculation of the 20 mil floor and then no longer will they be around. But the thing you got to remember is we don't have any of those. So again, one of those that if you're at a school that uses emergency levies and that that's going to change things. I don't know if it really saves you a whole lot initially as a taxpayer. Um it's going to I think it's going to force more levies more often for those kind of districts. Um, so that's kind of where we're at, uh, in terms of just a quick snapshot. There's way more in it. Again, like I said, I read about a 100 pages and after a while, you just go, you know, it does it just there's a reason I'm not a lawyer, but All
019right. Yeah. Compared to what it could have been for us, I everything's relative. So, I mean, we ended up with uh the the joint had us the first year getting 1,93,000 and then an additional half million the next year. So, you know, that's 1% of our total budget, but it's a good percentage of our state budget. So, again, someone said to me today because I was like, well, it's better than we thought and everything's relative. So, so it ended up being pretty good. As far as the cash balance, if it's general fund only, we're in good shape. If I was um at a meeting today that the county auditor was at, and they don't even know how what funds they're going to include and how they're going to do it. They did tell me that
020most likely O2, the debt service funds would be out, which makes sense. I mean, those are totally protected. That's all we can do is pay the bonds off the 103 million. So that's what actually what I was doing here. I was doing a quick calculation. Um all funds if O2 was in, we'd be a little bit over at 42%. You take O2 out and we're at 35%. So I think we're I think we're good as things goes. It's not funding inflation for us, but given the governor signs this, it certainly is better than some things that could have happened. So, so stay tuned. We should have a little bit more clarity in the morning and probably a little more in the next day or two. And hopefully by the we send out a board update,
021we'll have a little cleaner Yeah. look at what it is. Okay. And there'll be more and more come out as as we hear it. Um, like I said, it wasn't this would I mean there I'm still waiting on the actual cliffnotee versions that come from Columbus. I already had talked to some people and that's so we're pretty close. real quick. Um, we also heard obviously yesterday that the U Franklin County Common Police Court Judge Page uh on the in the first initial ruling uh on the Ohio Ed choice voucher program uh ruled it unconstitutional but immediately stayed the order, meaning basically it it continues to work and function until such time as it's appealed or to the next level. Both sides are expecting this to be a, you know, a next appeal to the 10th
022district court of appeals and then to the Ohio Supreme Court. So, there's a ways to go, but that's round one of three rounds. So, just a quick update on that and that that's kind of new news as well that we're all following. And then real fast, um just letting you know, uh there'll be a more of that coming later on in the but uh in the um meeting for approval, but just to let you know, uh Children's Hospital um medical center is joining us for our secondary group of kids. remember we were we were having some issues with our former um mental health partners and just uh you know so we've been working with them for a couple of years trying to get that thing going and um so anyway we've already got NECO in
023for our preschool u we're excited preschool through sixth grade and then our secondary will be children's medical center which we're excited about and um we'll still continue to work with Mindpiece. That's kind of our our go-to group that evaluates our services to make sure that we're getting, you know, the right the right people, the right supports in place and therapy. Um, they're really hired by all the different organizations. That's how they make their money. We don't we're not paying them anything, but they've been really a godsend for us. Wa, you know, kind of waiting through all the the pieces of this of this puzzle because at the end of the day, we need that school therapy piece and we need the ability for kids to get connected if they need to be connected. And these
024are all uh through parent referrals, teacher referrals, or student self-referral. So, we're excited about that. We think that that's a a positive one. We'll hear a little bit more about that coming up real quickly. And again, I don't want to spend a great deal amount of time. Um, but I do want you to re realize I've got more a little more information. Um, I will send these out to you with some links. Um, again, my update, I'll push those out to you so you guys can access them. Uh, the relaxation of your home. But really the goal of our survey uh the family survey was really uh just to better understand and learn from our families um involving their experience, their actual experiences here um how they thought about it, what they thought about culture,
025the culture within the school, what it's like, how they felt. Um key topic areas we we put down into three uh categories. Academics and educational experience, the family and school relationship and school climate and safety. And that's really the things that I you know just quick again quick gloss we had almost 500 responses. And if you can see by this diagram, they're really from kindergarten through 12th grade, pretty consistent amount of numbers. The same with, you know, across the board, light in preschool, um, and those beyond 12th grade, not not as many, but I just thought that was interesting. I think that shows some validity of and it it's statistically valid. So, it hits all those criteria. um some of the first pieces. Oops, I went too fast. I'm generally h you know these are
026the questions and there's two on each page. Just the general question on academics and educational experience. Um generally happy with the educational experience 90 94% my child appropriately challenged was 90.4% 4%. Um, and when as you look at through these, they're all right at 90 or above. Um, again, my child receives the academic support needed by his or her individual needs. My child holds high school expectations or my child's teacher hold high expectation. Um, again, 90 and 93%. This was kind of interesting. And again, we're going to dive into this in the fall when our administrators come back because we can we'll look pull them out by building as well so that they can see um the grade levels, not just grade levels. Um but in this one, the piece here was uh moving more
027into communications, family school relations. Uh I thought it was interesting. Um, the two lowest preferred ways of communicating were virtually or on the phone. So, email and face to face. That's how people like. So, again, 98% were happy. Um, I thought it was just kind of an interesting statistic. I just kind and so we're going to use it and try to do more and more of that that kind of thing. Um when I reached out to school staff with a question about my child, most of the time I receive a response quickly within two days. Strong, very strong. And I just think that's and we push that. We we want that to happen. Um there's nothing more important than your child. And so we want to be able to get to parents quickly. My child's
028school values the role I play in their education. 94%. Amazing. I think that's awesome. Do I read the weekly updates? Josh closed his eyes when he did first did that. And look it 95%. Did good, man. Um because sometimes we hear, gosh, I get stuff all the time. Well, there's not everybody reads the same thing. That's why we do it over different platforms. We try to try to hit as many people as we can. The school communicates with me. It's easy for me to read and understand. That's important. Do you understand what the teacher saying, what the educators are saying? Uh when they contact you. Um again we just keep moving. Um I'm invited to meetings so I can learn about what's going on in the school. It's parents activities PTO's again strong strong connection
029between the our families in the school and that's that's exciting to see. Um, generally speaking, this is another one that, you know, makes you sit and you look at a little bit and try to disseminate through it a bit. Um, but regular updates from my teacher. Um, you know, still 82. Obviously, you always look for ways to improve. And so, we'll break those down by individual buildings and grade levels. And so we'll be able to attack that. Um, I'd like to receive more information about my child's school about the following topics. And this is kind of interesting. 63% services uh to support my child's learning and behavior needs and enhance his or her talents like tutoring, mentoring, camps, career explor exploration. 63.6% 6% 180 responses. Okay. So there there's some things we can dig into.
030Okay. Just about what I can do at home, you know, to help improve my child uh advance his or her learning. So those are those are some key pieces of information for us that I think that we can we can learn from. um child development 19% you can see the top two and then you can see the cluster but they're still important pieces. So those are things you want to pull in and try to okay how do we how do we improve that component. So um again we're digging into it. We'll dig into it a little bit more. Um a few of us will be anyway this month. Um and then we'll bring this this will come in towards um in the fall when on August 1st when our administrators come in we'll dive into
031this during our administrative meetings so we can really try to attack the school year. Uh right now we just want to let them rest a little bit. Let them catch their breath. Uh safety and culture school. How does does the school help my child feel comfortable? Okay, especially when he moves from one grade to the next. 92% really important. You know what I want to do is is again look real close. How about from high school from junior high to high school? How about from elementary into the junior high? We always are looking to bridge that gap because that's those are the two big bridges that you got to be able to to try to make it as comfortable for our kids. And I think our administrators the last couple of years have done just
032a fantastic job helping our kids. We really try to That's important. That's really important. Uh friendly environment students and parents uh 93% yes. Is it a safe place to learn? 95% agree or strongly agree. Doesn't mean there's not room for improvement. There's always room for improvement. But th those are just some real key pieces. I'll forward that to you so you can dive in and get as if you're a data person and like looking at it, you can dig in and if you're tired, can't fall asleep one night, maybe you'll want to pull up that and start looking at data. Um, so with that, I just uh want to transition real quick into summer projects. Uh we are it's it's wild. I mean it's it's it's neat to see and I'm so grateful to our
033community uh when we passed the levy with especially with the combination levy that allowed us to actually start to repair buildings that needed the repair. you know, after this year, partway through next year, we'll be pretty close to being complete in terms of getting the envelopes of our buildings secured. Okay. Um certainly some chillers and uh boiler replacements this summer uh are also on there. But I think what happens then is we we start the trans slow transition to do more preventative maintenance which is always the goal. If we can get to that point, you know, we'll be great. We'll get our roofs all of our roofs under warranty. That's important. Um, so right now they've we're in about four other four buildings, five buildings right now, uh, doing roof work, asphalt work. Uh, so
034we're really we're really humming around on that stuff. Um, transportation, we're in the midst of switching to um, a new system. It will help us uh improve our routing, our GPS services. Um the one that we had was really kind of I don't want to say dying but they weren't doing updates and that becomes in in the tech world that's dying I guess. So uh transfinder will be the new one and it is robust. Uh the nice thing is we will have uh turnbyturn instructions kind of like what you have in your car when you hit you know your GPS and you put it in. We'll be able to from from our bus depot be able to to real time change a route if we need to. If we find out there's an accident on
035a particular place and we got to get around it instead of going hey on the radio there's somebody something's not right here. We get that information. we can adjust that. Uh, communications will still we'll still need to use Parent Square. Um, but this app, there'll be an app that we'll be sending out information on. That's a transportation app that we'll we'll encourage parents to get on to because that thing is robust. I mean, it'll give you real time information. Uh, my bus is two stops away from the house. you want to set it up that it it'll do it. So, there's some neat stuff. More on that to come, but that that was a big big piece for us. Um, and it gives us automatic mechanical and safety updates. So, if we notice something's going
036on with oil or something in the transmission is not right, it'll give us a a warning and so we can get on those those repairs quickly. Okay. Uh radio network is another big one. That to me is is critical. It allows us to not get caught in a scenario like uh happened with um Princeton here a couple of years ago when they got swatted with uh you know active shooter and it wasn't but all the cell phones went down. It's like being in middle of Nippert Stadium during a football game trying to call somebody. You aren't getting through. You aren't getting out. So just it's just the way it is. But this that is not an issue. So we'll be able to have instant communications uh which is I think critical in this day and
037age. So um I think those are the big the big key things. It's a busy summer and and I want to thank all of our principles for a fantastic year. um just in every sense of the way of the the word as well as to my um cabinet people. You know, we we they do a lot. You know, they're digging in um a lot of the work that they're doing this month and uh next month is really about so that next school year is runs efficiently and smoothly and and we're even better than we were this year. So every we always try to get better and so I just want to thank those guys. Appreciate guys and gals um for all the energy and the effort they they give throughout the year. But you know
038when when everybody goes home on vacation, this is when these guys roll their sleeves up and get at it. So I really appreciate it. So that concludes my piece. Thank you, Mr. Hook. Yep. Anybody have any questions? Uh item 8.1, procedures for public commentary. The board is committed to conducting its meetings in a productive and efficient manner to asssure that the meeting is completed in a reasonable amount of time while also recognizing the importance of fair and adequate opportunity for public input. In order to conduct an orderly and fair representation of expression, the board will provide a period for public participation per policy PO0169.1 at every regular board meeting. Public participation will be a total of 30 minutes. Each speaker will have three minute time limit. If there are more than 10 speakers, individual time
039may be adjusted down to fit within the 30 minute time limit. The board does not discriminate based on the individual content of the speech or viewpoint of the speaker. Uh several people wish to speak on the same topic. The time limit may be adjusted at the president's discretion. Speakers should be prepared to respond to questions from the board members seeking clarity seeking to clarify the issue. And we have two speakers. First up is Mr. Shawn Martin. All right. My name is Sean Martin, 1113 Shanganger Drive. Uh, good evening. Good evening, esteemed members of the school board. A couple months ago, folks spoke about the dangers of a specific book. I come before you tonight in complete agreement with the brave citizens who are standing up to protect our children from the insidious dangers lurking within
040our public school libraries. It's high time we take a firm stand against literature that portrays in uh a way that might cause students to think, feel, or heaven forbid relate to the human condition. That is why I too support the banning of perks of being a wallflower. After all, no teenager should be exposed to a story about being a teenager. But friends, why stop there? If we truly want to protect fragile innocence of our youth, we must confront the root of the problem. I am of course talking about the most dangerous book of them all, the dictionary. Have you seen what's in this so-called reference book? It's a smorgus board of filth and corruption. Just open any page, any page, and you'll find words no children should ever encounter. Sex right there between sewage and
041shabby anarchist communism moist need I go on buttocks I mean what are we teaching our children and don't even get me started on intercourse sure the dictionary tries to trick us by including the conversation definition but we know they're up to some linguistic grooming and we must purge this moral tro experion horse from our libraries. Better yet, we should replace all dictionaries with approved word lists that contain only safe, wholesome vocabulary such as flag, obedience, and applesauce. In conclusion, if we're going to ban books that reflect the messy, uncomfortable truths about growing up, let's not forget the original offender, the dictionary. Ban it, burn it, bury it under a mount of decency and double spaced book reports. Thank you for your time and may we all bask in the sterile glow of censorship. Up next,
042Natalie Hastings. Hi, good evening. Natalie Hastings, uh, Cobblestone Court 45244. Um, thank you, President Bib, board members, and central office bosses for the opportunity. They used that earlier. Somebody did. Um, I liked it. Has a nice sort of rhyming to it. Um, thank you for the opportunity to speak this evening. Uh, as Superintendent Hook mentioned overnight, the conference committee um of the House and Senate in Ohio um produced a final budget recommendation that they will likely approve for um Governor Dwine to sign or veto. And in many respects, the budget falls short of what a lot of um people in our community would hope for in a state budget. Schools are not fully funded using the bipartisan formula um with updated inputs that reflect rising costs. Children born in poverty will no longer automatically receive
043Medicaid until age four, which they do now. Um the local government fund, which is how um you know, police, fire, all those things theoretically can be funded. It remains underfunded compared to the 2010 levels and libraries don't receive guaranteed funding in this budget. Instead of property tax relief, Ohioans that earn over a h 100,000 annually will receive an income tax cut that could shave up to um a billion off of the general revenue fund for the state with no clear plan to make up the difference. And as has already been mentioned, um it does provide funding for NFL stadiums. And of course, the budget further expands the Ed Choice voucher program that was found unconstitutional yesterday in Franklin County. Um, and now includes monies for families to send their kids to completely unregulated private schools
044that lack state charters and any accountability measures to the state. Those are usually called ESAs. Um, it removes elected state schoolboard members, which is a layer of public accountability um to the taxpayers and also helps local control. And it includes a provision that would require all local school board races to be partisan. So, not just getting endorsed by a party, but there would be no nonpartisan school board races at the local level. But that's the bad news, and that's not why I'm here tonight. Uh, I want to share the good news, and a lot of you have already heard it. Um Hook has already talked about it, but um we get to keep the funding guarantee that we here in Forest Hills rely on. And although we didn't get as much as the Senate proposed,
045it's more than the other two versions. The cap remains. It's not going to affect us. So even in a bad budget cycle, we came out okay. And that's thanks to your efforts to advocate for the school funding with the board resolution and with providing personal testimony and um members of this community who also submitted testimony. So I want to thank you for engaging and ask you to continue to engage and watch what happens at the state level because it affects all of us. Thank you. Thanks. Thank you. Item nine, human resources. Mr. Fellows, welcome back. Good to be back. Um straightforward report this evening and uh I know we'll be meeting in about 15 days for um uh the July 10th meeting as well. Hoping to wrap up all of our hires for next school
046year. We're in a really really good spot um really in in most areas. Certainly on the certified and the administrator side, we do still have one vacant um administrative position. That is uh the assistant principal position at Summit Elementary following Matt's uh resignation and his transition to Reading as the associate principal over there. Wish him the best. Um that's that is still out there. Um although we are actively in the process right now and are narrowing our focus to a couple candidates. Um but aside from that, we have been busy in the department over the last uh six weeks or so. Um bringing in uh between certified and classified or certified administrative folks about 32 new hires uh into positions. And so I want to thank our principles again um our coordinators and and directors
047uh for their work on all that. terms of uh the HR report. Um you see item A, a couple retirements here um and would like to um wish Stacy Bailey uh all the best as she enters into or prepares for retirement uh in September as well as Doug Davis as uh Wilson teacher. um he both of them kind of made a a late decision to retire and uh um so they didn't get quite the fanfare that maybe the other retirees might have gotten. They didn't get the invite to the the Forest Hills 5K, but we certainly wish them the best and thank them for their dedication and years of service to the school district. Um jumping down to item C under appointments, I would also um in addition to the two administrators that are new
048to the organization that Mr. Hook introduced earlier, Mr. Larson uh coming from Gan to Maddox and uh Mr. Raleigh coming in uh for Larry's position. I would also uh acknowledge uh Mr. Jamie Roth back there. Um this is his first board meeting and uh he is um already he's still living in both worlds trying to close things up on the one front and then uh learn the the new gig and um no takebacks, Jamie. Okay. Uh, in all seriousness, we're we're very excited about, uh, Jamie and his leadership and and this opportunity for growth and development for him and for the school district. Um, after um, 24 years with Dr. Betsy Ryan and a great sendoff to her uh, recently with her retirement. Uh, certainly wish her all the best and thank her again. Very
049excited for Jamie to step in. And then um similarly obviously there's a ripple effect when we do the internal and um I know we've given you all update that um Brad Early is transitioning into uh Jaime's position former position as the elementary coordinator. Um we will have a final candidate uh for board approval at the July 10 meeting for the preschool coordinator. So stay tuned on that and she will be present at that meeting as well. Um the only other uh items item item F we've got uh a couple different salary schedules u an addition uh to the supplemental salary schedule for Nagel dance and um the operational or classified sub uh schedule which we typically bring ideally in June. I think last year it might have been as late as maybe July or even
050August. So, we got ahead of things a little bit this year and that's just reflective of the negotiated agreement in terms of the cost of living increases there for our substitutes, classified substitutes. And then the last one was a couple uh revised job descriptions. The first was the uh this is a new job description actually in the Nagel Learning Commons. Uh Mrs. Brennan has moved the athletic office into the learning commons and so they're going to kind of like be back there overseeing parts of that space but also working through athletics as Lisa Newmeister moves to support our the counselors at Nagel. Um so no changes in the FTE assignments but trying to be efficient within the staffing model that we've got over there. Um and with that we're excited for Terrell Davis who I
051know you all met a while ago. um he's uh he's eager to get after it and uh we're we're excited to to have him and they're currently in that that final stage of the identifying a candidate for that admin assistant position. The final one was the student support advocate position which is a return from a former job description that we had during the two years the esser funded position and this was I think I gave a little bit of an update to the board in terms of reallocation of FTEES within Anderson High School to support some of those more at risk uh students chronic absenteeism um home visits those kinds of things that's that that position questions Uh Rob, thank you for this. Um any update on the bus driver uh numbers? I know we
052were having the bus driver. John just shared yesterday that uh that what' you three or so where where we are. We did our our come driver plus event. I didn't go overall volume of people were not was not great but we actually have four people in the pipeline from Okay. Oh, good. So, everything's moving forward. They seem to be uh anxious to be getting trained, so we'll start working the process. So, I think the the last month, John, we it was like uh seven or so was what Richard was really ideally striving towards. So, we're probably about half that at this point. Does that include the one that just retired or is that extra? Oh, man. Yeah. Forgot. Yeah. Thanks. bring reality to this. We are actually looking to do a Saturday. Some Saturday events,
053too. Okay. When can I drive around the district in a school bus? Wait. On the bus or driving the bus? I need to drive this bus on the roads. A little bit of a process before we let you do that. Any other questions? Thank you. And with that, and I just as a reminder, this does start the this evening's consent agenda. Thank you. Thank you. Item 10, business operations. Mr. Hecker. Good evening everybody. I just have um I have two actualformational items tonight and then the one action item. The first item 101 is one of ourformational items. This again is where we must certify our standards uh within the nutrition program for Sarah and Bob. You've seen these presentations before. We uh Maddie has updated them quite a bit and cleaned them up and made
054them new. So that's why if it looks different, but those are the same basic content that we have to do on an annual basis. Uh number two was the trienal assessment of our wellness policy. Uh it gets a little confusing between wellness you because we use wellness. This is the nutritional wellness and how we can incorporate that into the system. And so this is a trienal assessment of the wellness policy. Uh if you did not get a chance I'm afraid I'm gonna turn this off somehow. If you did not get a chance to go through the um PowerPoint yet, please do it. Maddie did a real nice job with it and really explains nice and clean the process. Uh and then item number three, and this is an action item. Uh we this is not
055just the adding of u the impracticals like we've done just adding students to the new schools. We are looking to um determine that three other buildings are impractical and this impractical is not based on a solely financial decision. There is a lot of finance involved with it but it's low wrership the driver shortages and inapprop or not inappropriate inefficient use of al allocation of resources. We're doing two buses for less than 10 students m many times out of the year. Uh many multiple times even a week they come home empty because the students choose not to ride home stuff like that. So we're sending these buses and we can do a whole lot with these buses and routes to take care of mass populations. Get them with buses of 50 and 60 students. And so
056that is why we're declaring these three schools impractical and the schools are seven hills. Then we have Merc and Good Sheeperd and then Mercy Monasteri. So any questions on that? Okay. Awesome. With that said, I respectfully request that the board approve item 10.3 as part of the consent agenda. Thank you. Teaching and learning, Mr. Moore. Good evening everyone. Uh the first item I would like to uh discuss with you guys is having the um board approve the cooperative agreement and the resolution with the board of township trustees of Anderson Township in Hamilton County for our second resource officer. Uh I believe that uh to only have one resource officer with the the large uh large district of our size, it'd be pretty tough. So having the two guys is is uh is is of benefit.
057So that is uh the first thing I'm recommending. The second one 11.2 as Mr. Hook talked about is our new partnership with children's in our secondary classrooms, our secondary buildings. This is also just like Neco coming to us at no cost. Um so we are going to be saving some money in that realm. Um I do anticipate just as child focus has been great with the transition of child focus candidates to neco. I'm anticipating the same thing happening uh with children's. Uh we are already in a position with some of our buildings up to 20 families have already transitioned from child focus to neco. So I do anticipate child focus still being a good partner with us until uh their contract expires on July 31st. Uh but effective August 1, we will have children's. I
058already have some requests from families wanting to already start that and like we have to pump the brakes a little bit until we have board approval as well as honoring the contract that we have with NECO already. So, I'm I'm anticipating this being a great switch for us. Any questions about that? Yes. Um, with Child Focus, we had mental health therapists in the schools. Yes. That Child Focus provided, but I in reading this agreement, it doesn't seem like Cincinnati Children's is providing mental health therapists in the schools. Is that right? Oh, they are. They are. Yes. Did I miss that? Okay. And it's open referral. Yes. But it also says with payment that it's billing through insurance. So, like we're not being charged anything. Correct. And again, I I've had this question before, but like
059how are we in making sure that people that don't have insurance or don't have mental health coverage in their insurance have access to these services? Yeah. So, we also asked that question of children's uh they have resources uh that they're able to point families to uh public resources to go out and get additional help. We've also as a district been able to provide um through some grants and some benefactors uh been able to help support families as well so that the children who need those mental health services are able to get it. Um and Children's has said that they have a wide variety of resources to help families out with those situations. So finances won't be a barrier to any families. Should not be. Okay. No. All right. The third thing Oh. Um yeah. The
060third thing I want to bring to you is the uh handbooks. Um the biggest change in the handbooks this year is the code of conduct. Um if you are familiar with our code of conduct that we've had beforehand, it's been a list of about 70 infractions and it pretty much is a list. Uh what we've done is with a committee of assistant principles uh school sites counselors as well as teachers um started taking a look at some samples of some other code of conducts in neighboring districts just kind of taking a look at what do we have what do they have um and so through a lot of work and a lot of meetings back and forth and editing and uh we decided to break the code of conduct into tiers tier 100, tier 200,
061300, 400. And what it does is it allows a lot more uh transparency for parents, students, teachers, and administrators to take a look at it and say, "If I do a benign code violation at the 100 level, here's what I could potentially get, like here's what could happen at a 400 level." It allows the parents and the teachers to know again what type of discipline could my child be facing. Um, and as well for teachers, it does answer that question of all right, I sent this kid to the office, kind of what what happens um, you know, for that student. So, um, it was a lot of work. It was great collaboration again with school sites, teachers, counselors, and assistant principles. Um, I did have legal put eyes on it once we hit that final
062draft just to make sure is the wording correct? Is this enforceable? Um, and making sure as well that the violations that we had in particular tiers, was that appropriate? Um, and we received the thumbs up from um our legal team. Uh, so I I also want to present uh our code of conduct and our handbook to you guys. Um it was it was a lot of conversation of making sure also that our teachers felt supported. Uh we wanted to make sure also taking a look at some of the historic violations that we've had before. Do our codes need to be updated? Do our codes need to be re rewarded? And are there some things that through conversations with other districts, what are some things to come? Unfortunately, some other districts have dealt with other situations
063that we didn't have a code for. And so I felt it's better to be prepared for that and incorporate those things into our our code of conduct this year. So any questions? Thank you for all that hard work. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. 11.4 Mr. Ogden. Good evening everybody. It's good to see you. Um, I'm putting forward as part of my portion of the consent agenda theou with Great Oaks for a couple programs that we have historically had um within the school district specifically our DECA program and our TPA program and that is our teacher preparatory academy. Um, we renew thisou every three years based on the research I have done. We've had over 15 plus years um of this service from the Oaks and it has been a phenomenal relationship. Um in fact, I'll
064be honest with you, nobody in the building even knows these are Oaks programs because these are our teachers. These are our they they love our students. They work with our students. It is it is really a great relationship that we've been able to foster again for for quite a while. Um any questions? Do you my only question is DECA is only available at Anderson. Do you have any Turpin students reaching out wanting to be a part of DECA? No. So I did a little That's a great question because that was the first sorry that was the first question that I had. Um and so initially when it was offered again I'm going back 15 plus years. When we offer stuff it's based on student interest. So you put it out you put it in optioning
065much like other other courses that we had this year. And if if you don't have the course if you don't have the enrollment numbers, you're you're you're just not going to hold that section because that increases the size of other sections on teachers. Now, I did uh I was able to dig out that if a Turpin High School student wants to engage in the DECA program, then they can go over to Anderson for for that class. We don't have any this year, but historically we have had a couple of students that that that had that that request is put out and we have accommodated that. The TPA program, we have a pretty robust TPA program in both schools. Um, and Rebecca and Nate work very closely with each other. All right. Thank you. Yes, absolutely.
066Thank you so much. Thank you. 11.5 Miss Tensley. All right. Good evening. Um 11.5 is um a partnership agreement with LEAD. It is an organization that will expand and strengthen college and career readiness efforts through customized planning um programming and workforce development initiatives. They will help connect us to within their organization to over 700 companies that could potentially be folks who can help support with internships, pre-apprenticeships, apprenticeships, um and they will also provide access to career panelists, guest speakers, um and just offering technical support as we work around requirements from DU um to support workforce college career military readiness. Um, the remaining teaching and learning items are specific to special education. And we brought Jamie here tonight, but we're not going to force him to the podium yet. So, we're gonna we're gonna ease him
067into it. I do want to say though, um, Betsy is not with us tonight. She is celebrating her anniversary with her husband. Um, so that's a good reason not to be here. Um, but I also want to publicly say that I am very grateful for Betsy and her leadership over the years and I'm I'm excited for the next steps for her. Um, going to 11.6. This this is a series of service contracts and agreements um for the remaining part of this agenda. Um 11.6 is for Hamilton County Head Startou. It's a collaborative agreement between Hamilton County and Forest Hills to serve children ages three through five who qualify for Head Start services. Um it is a federally funded program and it continues. It will continue at Mercer Elementary as it has previously. Um 11.7 is
068Claremont County Educational Services Center um agreement. It's a contract to support the provision of preschool through 12 hearing impaired itinerant services um provided to students who have significant hearing loss or deafness. 11.8 um is an agreement with um New Path. This is basically between Forest Hills and St. Joe's um New Path organization which is located within our our school boundaries. Um we um they operate a residential intervention program where students reside and receive mental health treatment and educational services and because they were are within our boundaries we do provide service for that. Um 11.9 occupational therapy services agreement. Um this is an agreement with Forest Hills and Cincinnati Occupational Therapy Institute. Um they provide school-based occupational the therapy services um at Mercer Elementary School, Nagel Middle School in Anderson. I'm out of order. Hang on
069one second. 11.10 is um an agreement with the Cincinnati Center for Autism. This is an 11-month contract for services between CCA and Forest Hills um to provide educational services for special education students um for a student who entered in January 2025. 11.11 is another agreement with Claremont County Educational Services Center. Um this is to provide interpreter services for a student per IEP. for pretty much all of these renewals. Most of them, yes. Y um 11.12 um Hamilton County DDS. Um this contract supports school age children ages 6 through 21. Um for the past several years, we have not used these services because the students have been having their needs met within the schools. This is a partnership though that in the event that we need those services um that is available to us. 11.13 Claremont
070County Educational Services Center. Um, this is an agreement to support the continuation of three student placements um for students who need additional behavioral support. is to support um an agreement with applied behavioral services. Um again, this is an 11-month placement for a student with special needs. Um 11:15 is independent contractor. This is for um services that may be at the placement of Wasserman that they do partner with child focus there. And so that's to support the services for that for that child. Um and I believe did I go through them all? I think so. I have notes everywhere. I wanted to just spit them all out so that if you have questions we can we can handle them. Do you have anything for me? Okie do. Thank you. Thank you. Item 12, technology. All right.
071Filling in for Mr. Me. See if he can go as quick as he can. I'm not going to have time for my pizza order tonight. Pinch hitting for technology. John. All righty. We have two items here real quick. The first item uh 121 is the network and software uh contract through HCC. This is just a renewal contract. We can't do business without them. Thank you. And the second contract is our comac comier contract. Uh Mr. Me did quite a bit of bidding and I I worked through him with on these. uh com is where we decide to land best uh per impression overall monthly cost and their service. So we really felt this would be the best one to move forward. So that is 122 uh signing off on the comm contract. With that said,
072I respectfully request that the board approve 121 and 122 as part of the consent agenda. Thank you. Thanks. Uh 13 treasure update. Miss Craropper, you're up. All right. All right. The first slide on the treasures uh report is always donations. And during the month of May, we received over 66,000. Um which brings our total donations at May 31st to a little over half a million dollars. So again, very very grateful. Um moving on to item B. Looks like we're having a PowerPoint problem. Mine's so slow. Uh oh. Mine's Mine is slow. I can't get it. Not working. Huh? Interpretive. Oh, there it goes. I can't read that. All right. And this is even a new slide this uh this month. This is the May forecast that you just uh passed last month. So the slide
073actually changed um just for uh to remind you um what our uh target revenues and expenditures are. We include this forecast. Uh moving on to the next slide, item C. Again, general fund. This is the only fund that is on the five-year forecast. So therefore, this slide compares the general fund revenues uh to our estimate um on the forecast for our year-to- date actuals. And as you can see, the very largest portion of our revenues come directly from local sources, uh, mainly from property taxes and tiff revenues. And as you can see, the state budget, as we talked before, is really a very small portion of our budget. At the end of May, the district has actually received 99% of the revenues we expect to receive for our fiscal year 25. And June is a
074typical very low cash uh flow month with us the state revenues of being 1.6 million being the only material revenues that we expect to receive in June. Next slide. Item D presents the general fund again 5-year forecast fund um expenditures compares the expenditure estimate to year-to-ate uh actual. And as you can see with 92% of our fiscal year complete at the end of May we have spent 89% of our estimate. So at the end of May we were right where we would expect to be. Moving on to item E. This presents the uh cash activity in again the general only the general fund the 5-year forecast fund. The balance at the beginning of the year, July 1, 2024, was 23.3 million. And after adding revenues and expenditures to date, our cash balance at the end
075of May stands at 39.3 million. Or to put it another way, we have enough cash to operate the district for 141 days. And after encumbrances, our unencumbered cash was 35.7 million, leaving 128 days of unreserved cash to operate the district. Moving on to the next item, which is the permanent improvement fund. Uh, and this is only one cost center within the permanent improvement fund. This is the main um cost center. This uh item F, the first slide of item F tracks the financial activity in that fund. Moving on to the second slide, we still have um summer projects. We've got one encumbrance out there that we still are waiting on an invoice. Uh John and his team have signed off. We're happy with the work, but we don't pay without an invoice. So, we're still
076waiting on that invoice. After that this slide will go moving on to the next slide. This is our summer 2025 uh projects and you can see here the description of the projects as well as where we are in terms of financial activity within uh those projects. So at the end of the day we have already expended 239,000 uh for our summer of 25 projects and we have another over four million encumbered. So moving right along there. Um item G presents the investment income to date at the end of May and as you can see investment earnings are still strong um coming in fairly strong. Moving on to item H, the May um uh bank reconciliation as well as investment balances at the end of the month. Item I um presents the transfer that we talked
077about when I presented the five-year forecast uh last month. The state auditor does require that it's a separate approval item. So even though you approve the forecast, I have to bring it back to you as a separate item. Moving on to item J. Um, this is an annual request for board approval. Uh, per board policy, we always set our ma mileage rate um at July 1 and we set it to what the IRS rate is at that time. So, it is currently 7.7 70 cents per mile and that is an increase of 3% over last year's rate of 67. cents per mile. Um, moving on uh to the next item. Again, this is an annual item. Um, this sets the uh board service fund to appropriate 14,000 for the payment of expenses incurred in the
078performance of your the board's duties and as well as any seminars or travel or conferences that you would like to go to. Pizza. That's for all of you. But that's this does this include pizza for the 4-hour board meetings? Four hours. All right. Now to the fun stuff. Um we're closing one year and opening another one. So items L and M present the final appropriations for fiscal year 25 as in common as is common practice in school accounting. uh 2025 appropriations are reduced to actual expenditures plus encumbrance because that's the compliance limit that's set by the state. And to make sure you're in compliance, it's easier to push a button on the software to set the budget and make sure you're in compliance. So um all the reductions that you see in item M are
079just the uh return of appropriations to the cash balance and they will be available for appropriations in our upcoming fiscal year 26. So, while we've closing one year, the next item, item N, opens up fiscal year uh 2026. And typically what we do is we set appropriations at uh 30%, a little bit of variations if we're aware of what we actually need to spend over the next three months. But this gives us temporary appropriations for the next three months while the district uh finalizes contracts, staffing, budgets, and things like that. By state law, you set the full budget appropriations by September 30th. So, we'll bring those back to you uh prior to September 30th. Uh that said, you also have the cash position report that details all fund activity um in board docs. Um would
080you have any questions on the board report? And um just so you know the numbers I gave you earlier that had to do with House Bill uh 96 in terms of ending balances, we've already closed uh for fiscal year 25 and I actually had those were calculated as of the end of June. So in case any of you are going to try to check my numbers, you don't have the June reports yet. So we're good. Any questions? That said, I respectfully recommend that the board approve items 13.1A through 13.1N as part of the consent action items, which begin with um item 9.1 this evening. Can I get a motion to approve items 9.1 through 13.1? So moved. Second. Dr. Mr. Simmons. Yes. Mr. Bell. Yes. Mrs. Jonas. Yes. Mr. Bib. Yes. Uh, item 14.1 is
081the technology facilities committee meeting. We met on June the 9th. Mr. Hook went over most of everything we talked about in this discussion. Um, we are we are been using a company called Future Think to give us a 10-year projection on enrollment. I think he says the cost will be about $9,000. It should take him about three or four weeks to get us the data. Yeah. Um, we went over the transportation. We're paying I think since we're most of our buses are propane, I think the biggest thing is we're paying about 88 cents is a per gallon on the propane versus what diesel is, which is almost $5 last time I looked. Um, and I think the biggest thing as far as the the facilities, I mean, the the janitors and the custodial staff, everybody's
082going to be busting busting their butts all summer long getting everything ready. Uh, but the route software for the for the drivers, which would be huge instead of having to read a piece of paper for a new driver or a sub trying to find out where they're going or the GPS will tell them where they're going. So, that that should be a huge timesaver. Um, I don't think there's anything else really we missed, is there? I mean, Larry hit most of it. Others are just update on technology, summer project updates. So yeah, I your item F had all of our summer projects listed on there. So if anybody want Yes, it did. See the list of everything that we're doing. Yeah. Anybody have any questions? Uh item 15, board discussion. Does anybody have anything they
083want to discuss? had a couple shout outs to some of our schools. Um, at Anderson, uh, the student newspaper, the Raptor Report, submitted for statewide awards and, uh, ranked a top five school, high school student newspaper in the state of Ohio. Um, it's one of only three schools in the state that rank in the top 10 for both the print and website version of its newspaper. Um, and then our the reporters, the the students who who write for the Raptor Report earned a total of 20 individual awards. And Brendan Lans and Conrad Fiser got uh national recognition for their contributions to the student newspaper. And also want to shout out some students at Sherwood. Uh the fifth grade ELO students um at Sherwood Summit and some sixth grade ELO students at Summit participated in a
084design lab program which they were tasked with solving real world themed design problems with um with volunteer help from local professionals. Um they explored the concept of play spaces. They presented their their uh projects um and competed against each other. And the Sherwood fifth graders Morgan G. Ava H, Lucia S. and Blair W represented Sherwood at the city level with their project Sensation Splash Park. So, it's a pretty cool experience for those students. Um, I had a few other updates just on some stuff that both Mr. Hook and Miss Craropper um updated on the lawsuit and and the budget. So, skip those. But the only other thing I had was uh as a board we met for a special meeting on June 9th as well after the facilities and technology committee meeting where we discussed
085our board vision and focus areas as well as um kind of finalized the draft for the superintendent and treasure evaluation. Something we've been talking about for the last year and a half or so. Um the five areas of focus um that the board agreed upon were students, staff, financial stewardship, communication, and uh facilities and operations. We um drafted the evaluations based on Niola guidelines and the job descriptions for both the treasur and the superintendent position and both individuals were given opportunities to review the evaluations before we adopted them. And then during executive session at that special meeting, we met with each of them individually to collaborate on goals and set a timeline for achieving those goals. So our plan moving forward is to conduct an initial uh evaluation with each position toward the end of
086the summer to set a baseline measurement of performance and then from there we'll conduct a mid uh year evaluation in December followed by the first full year evaluation at the end of the next academic year. Y and that's all I have. Thank you. I had a question about those evaluations that we're going to do at the end of the month. Do we have a I I emailed Wendy, but I haven't heard from her. Do we have final copies of those? So, like we're all working off the same document because it's just she was working on them. All I have I don't think we do have them yet, but Okay. Because it's going to be what in a month to Yeah. Are we What is Are we meeting July 30th or July 29th? Something like that.

As part of our meeting on June 9th, our our special meeting, we are working on as a result of of working on the evaluations, we're we're working
088on ultimately creating on our website, the Forest Hills website, kind of a one, two, three page summary so that everybody in the district and all interested parties have access to financial data, employment data, not employee pay scales or anything like, but employment days as far as people, how many people are working in different buildings and what our projections are and historically what have gone on as far our students so that we all have the same information going forward because I think we think we all agree that a lot of the problems we've been having and a lot of the questions we get from folks are the fact that we all have different data sets and not everybody has access to the same data. So our hope is by being completely transparent, authentic with all of
089that data out there both historically and what our projections are, we all have the same data going forward so we can alleviate a lot of those questions and we can hopefully get more and more of the district aligned with what our goals are and have us all believing the same things.
