001and to the republic for it stands one nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Okay. Are there any committee reports? [Music] Yeah. Okay. All right. Thank you. Um, administrative updates, Mr. All right. Thank you, Mr. Truster. Um, Dr. Thompson did ask me to sit in today here. So, I'd like to start by thanking the board and uh and Dr. Thompson for their support during this time of transition. It's been wonderful. Uh, meeting with all the staff really beneicial as well. Um, over the past several months, we've spent a considerable amount of time building our team and I'm excited to share that we have two additional teachers on the agenda today. The first one is Mrs. Neielen. She has spent the past nine years teaching at both Kyle Haga Falls and Lum Middle School. She
002will serve as our sixth grade math teacher bringing with her valuable experience and a record of achieving strong results at that level. She's also been actively involved in numerous academic based extracurricular activities uh supporting students both during the day and beyond. Mrs. Stewart, you may recognize her as Miss uh Brooks Psyak. So Brooksak has served for the past few years as an intervention specialist at Edel Ford High School in Michigan. During that time, she collaborated closely with colleagues as a co-teer in the science and art and language arts classrooms. She was nominated for teacher of the year in her district during the 234 school year. In addition, she served as head cross country coach and an assistant track coach. Um we are very fortunate in interview process of having quality candidates once again. um not
003quite the depth that we once saw but still um pretty heavy at the top. So we're fortunate both of these ladies are very grads I believe Neil made the name Thompson was around 2013 was 2018. So we're excited to welcome them both back. Um during the last week of of school and into the first week of summer break I had the opportunity to meet 37 different uh staff members. Um I put out an offer there to meet with people for 15 minutes where they can highlight um things they think we do well and areas for growth. That was very beneficial to me as an incoming superintendent to learn and gain the perspective of uh staff members from a variety of different buildings and departments. And uh we'll take that information and share a summary with
004our leadership team and use it as we uh work to build for next school year. Um and then as far as administratively, uh we have our retreat coming up July 28th through the 30th. Um and prior to that, we've also scheduled pre- leadership retreats on the 16th and 17th to do a lot of the work. Um our goal and last week Ariana was here, so we started planning this out. Um really try to assess everything that we do, look at uh data, feedback, and what student outcomes we desire for our students and build uh the instructional framework around that. uh take into account that a lot of great work has gone on here for for many decades. Um honoring that work, looking at where our district needs to go uh driven off of student outcomes
005and and setting up that work as we head into uh next school year. So really excited to get the team together and and do that work. And then finally, as you know, um considerable amount of effort goes into uh monitoring and advocating for our district at the state level. Um, House Bill 96, the city budget bill has been released. I'm going to turn over to Mrs. Cable, but before I do, I'd like to thank Dr. Thompson, Lucant, and Jen Cable for their work in this area. Um, it's many years of work for for several of them and uh, a lot of work over the past three to four months um, as this heats up leading to the end of June. So, Miss CO, thank you, Mel. Um, so on Wednesday, the House and Senate both
006approved the conference committee's version of the banual budget. And first and most importantly, our PUTP freeze is extended through fiscal 27. Um, and I'd like to echo uh Mr. Porcel's thanks to Mr. for all of his hard work in Columbus this year to get that through. Um, it does represent a third of our revenue, so that was um, very good news for us. As for the rest of our state funding, they did keep the structure of the ferris school funding formula but they did not increase the in base cost inputs and they did not um finish the phase in. So we have the formula but it's not really being used exactly the way it should be. Um early simulation show that that will result in about a $50,000 increase for us next year in state
007funding and then $109,000 loss in fiscal 27. Um they did keep the Senate version's performancebased funding. It's outside of the formula now, but it's so it'll be an extra payment, but that is a payment that's meant to um reward districts who had four or five stars on their report card. And thanks to our awesome educators and administrative team, we do qualify for that payment and should see about $160,000 uh dollars in each of the two years. Um now, property tax reform was the big topic this budget season. And so as expected, there are a couple provisions in there um meant to give uh tax, you know, relief to the taxpayers. Um two notable provisions that did not make it in the elimination of inside millillage from House Bill 335. Um and then the requirement that
008school levies passed by 60% instead of 50%. Neither of those are in the budget. House Bill 335 is still being considered as a standalone bill. So that inside Miller delimination isn't completely off the table, but it's not in the budget right now. Um what did make it in is a um change in the way they calculate the 20 mil floor. They're going to include substitute levies um emergency levies and the property tax portion of combination property tax income levies in that calculation. Here in Perry we have one levy that is a continuing operating levy. So this change won't affect us. We'll stay at the 20th floor. Um but they also did eliminate uh those types of levies. the emergency substitute and the combo levy are no longer available after um January 2026. So if we
009ever did need to be on the ballot, those are no longer options. Um they also gave more authority to the county budget commission to adjust voter approved millage. So that means that while we are at the 20th floor, um it'll be up to the budget commission to determine whether or not we need to collect the entire amount of the assessed taxes. Um, so we'll see in January when we go to the tax budget hearing how that plays out. Um, but the big one for a meant to um provide some relief to taxpayers is the cash balance cap. They landed at 40%. Um, it's right in the middle. The House wanted 30, Senate wanted 50, we ended up at 40. Um, and this one does impact us. Um, it says that we can't have a cash
010balance that's more than 40% of our previous year's total expenditures. Um, but there is a some language in it that says that you can have set aides that are above the 40% for permanent improvement projects, but these projects have to be certified and reported on to the county auditor annually, and they have to be completed within 3 years. Um, so, uh, there's a lot of questions and uncertainty about the language of this provision. We're not sure what they're going to use to calculate. We're not sure how they're going to enforce it, and we're not exactly sure what that set aside language means. So, my recommendation, which you'll see in my CFO report today, is that the board create eight new 070 accounts um all from uh projects on our tenure capital, similar to what we
011did last year. Um this will give us a little bit more um flexibility in our timeline. The 070 accounts give you 10 years to complete those pro those um projects instead of the three years. And it also um we don't know what that set aside means. So, we're going ahead and setting aside those funds for the projects that we had intended for. Anyway, um the eight projects that I'm proposing are the district painting, that's going to be a multi-year project, but it's scheduled to start next summer. uh the bleacher guard rails which we hope to start in the next month or two, the scoreboard project which we've talked about for a long time. Repair of the brick um crumbling brick on the north stadium wall, the um upgrades and um uh to the fire alarm
012system, turf replacement on the on the football field, masonry and brick work for the clock tower, and then the electrical distribution and the MSA system. These are all items that were on that 10-year pro plan um that that Jim Smith uh created. And the total amount that we'll need to transfer for those eight will be $3,369,000. Um so if the board agre approves the creation of those accounts and this uh corresponding transfers, I'll also be asking for um approval of a revised five-year forecast because $3 million in transfers does um make a significant change to what we approved last year, I mean last month. Um overall the forecast hasn't changed other than those. Um but it does uh no no deficit spending in 26 still years but that'll be mitigated. Um but it does cause
013us to have a couple million dollars in deficit spending this year and it will reduce our cash balance from 12 from 15 million to 12.4 million. Um, and interestingly enough, that may be the last five-year forecast you ever have to approve because this budget also eliminates the five-year forecast and replaces it with a three-year forecast, which is um really a better option anyway. We only working with two years of budget, you know, data anyway, and years four and five tend to just be scary and cause unnecessary worry. Um, so couple of other non-financial provisions that we should note um from the budget. Uh, it did put in a flat tax, income tax, state income tax of 2.7%. It requires school board candidates to list their political uh party on the ballot. Um, it puts a
01415% cap on administrative salaries and benefits. We're nowhere near that, so that's not going to have an impact on us. Um, it prohibits boards from paying retirement pickup for superintendent, treasures, and principles. Makes some changes to the STRS board. um having some of the members now appointed by the governor with input from the house and senate and it gives $600 million to the Browns for a new stadium in Brook Park. Um the three main public education professional groups, so ASBO, OSDA, and BASA have all sent letters to the governor asking he does have line item veto power and we're asking him to um veto most of those um stipul most of those provisions and especially so uh this committee version isn't necessarily the last version. Um we will know that sometime today the governor has
015to pro um provide a signature uh on the final bill today and if anything major is vetoed or changes I will let you know. So if you just a couple questions if you were over the um say our district was over the 40%. Which we would be if we didn't reallocate money and we didn't have anything to allocate it to what happens to money? Um it's they reduce your tax collections next year. So next year we would have less money coming in. So, it's kind of a use it or lose it scenario. That is how we understand it. Okay. Again, it's it's very there there's not a lot of consensus on exactly what it means, but that's kind of how we understand it. Okay. And then I've heard a lot of talk out there about
016how the state is giving more money to public schools. Like, so it sounds like it's being reductioned, but they they said they're giving more money to schools to schools. So, how can you break down what how the money is going to the schools? Um so I think overall it's like 600 like around $680,000 that they've get given to um education in this bannual budget. But in the first year, uh, public schools get 38 million, vouchers get 101.5 million, and charter schools get charter schools get 68 million. And then in the following year, we do get like a I want to say it's about 109 million, but the voucher get 124 and the charters still get over 60. So we're really getting less than a third of the total education money that they're they put into
017this budget, public schools are getting. So yes, so the majority of it's going to vouchers and charter schools. Okay. So like the windfall that they say we're seeing with all this money coming towards education is not I think I think um I saw somewhere that in the um with the formula each student in a public school is getting like $27 more this year and $29 in fiscal 27. Okay. Like for the year total. But the fair school funding is still in place, but it's not being phased in as it was originally. The formula is there, but it's not being used the way that it is intended. A couple questions, too, just just to clarify, I think just to avoid any confusion for the community if anybody decides to watch the board meeting. Um, and anyone
018here just to make sure when you said emergency levies and other types of levies are eliminated after January 26, but a regular I'm sorry regular don't know what else to call it levy. If a district did need a levy, you still couldn't put a levy on. Yeah, just those specific ones. Just the emergency, the substitute and the combination um property tax, income tax levy is is not an option. Okay. And that is not an option to be vetoed either. Correct. What's that? That's not up for potentially being withdrawn from the from the final bill from the final budget. Um, not that I've heard. Yeah, I think I think everyone's in agreement on that. And then you mentioned turf and I know we just replaced our turf. So, in terms of the capital improvements, you mentioned
019the turf for the football field. Uh, it was two years ago. Yeah. So, so again, we have 10 years. It's on his plan. It's not anytime soon. Yeah. Um I just wanted to make sure that was Yeah. And I'm sorry I didn't I thought I had a copy of his um plan, but Yeah, we do. I We do. It's in our link to our thing, but I just want to make sure it's not out there that we're replacing the ter. And the only other one I I keep hearing things about the roof leaking and problems with the roof and that's in the that's in the plan, too, right? Yes. Yeah, we did that one last year. That was one of that was one of the ones from last year. Yeah, this year. This a couple
020months ago, some buckets and things were over in the pack with the roof leaks. So, I just want to make sure that that is part of some of the repair work that that has been planned for the district in terms of capital improvements. Okay. Thank you. Anyone else have anything? Thank you, Mrs. Cap. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you both, Mr. Purscell. Was that public. Thank you. Um public participation have Mrs. Kaylor. You can if you would would not mind saying your name and your address and then we'll give you three minutes. And typically I always explain in these situations we don't go back and forth. We're happy to hear you and we can always reach out to you afterwards or if there's further followup that's needed, we'll direct that. But just so you're not
021expecting like back and forth kind of conversations, bring your concerns to us. Okay. So, if you want to. Okay. Sure. It's really it's it's whatever you're most comfortable with. I like to see everybody. So, first I want to say good morning. My name is Jennifer Peeler. Um I live at 3021 Perry Park Road, Perry, Ohio. I've been a resident for 33 years. Um I have two amazing daughters who have both graduated from Perry. Um 24 and 25. and um I stand before you thanking you for serving us as community members and aboard. But today I want to share with you a story of a roller coaster of emotions that a child experiences when they find themselves caught between highs and lows of anticipation and disappointment. I'm talking to you today about National Honor Society. Um
022imagine this. A bright young student wakes up one morning to find a letter waiting for them on the table. a crisp official looking, but in this case it's usually an email. And then they open it and their excitement builds. The letter holds a key to prestigious accomplice accomplishments and the introduction to the National Honor Society. Joy fills their heart and pride bursts within them. In that moment, the world opens up. They feel recognized for their hard work, their efforts. They're validated. They imagine the honor of standing among their peers, celebrating their achievements. the dream of sharing this victory together. But then just two days later, another email arrives, unexpected, unwelcome. With trembling lips, they read the words to their mother and unravel the joy of the first letter. Due to unforeseen circumstances, their introduction is
023no longer possible. Disappointment washes over them like a trial wave. Confusion clouds their mind and sense of loss penetrates their heart. They pride the felt only emot only moments before slips through their fingers leaving behind doubts and questions. What went wrong? Was I not worthy after all? Yet though the unsettlement of these emotions, there's glimmer of resilience, the child learns that achievements aren't always linear and that setbacks are sometimes part of the life's journey. They they realize that even at admin disappointment, they are still the same talented hardworking person. This emotional journey is a reminder that life's past that path is rarely smooth. But is the way we navigate the obstacles bounce back and challenges that truly shape who we are. As they find their courage to move forward, they gain a new understanding and
024strength. An unshakable belief in themselves that cannot be measured by one letter alone. This is how my daughter felt this year. Learned about her disappointment not joining the National Honor Society. I have to say to myself, quite a disappointment as a working family. Once we received the news my daughter would be part of this, we accommodated our schedules, but then within two days it all changed. My ask to you as a board to consider how you play with young adults emotions. As a board, as a school, as a community, we need to be better. We need to make decisions and stick to them and not look for disappointment. I find it oddly rare that this decision was made for my daughter not to make National Honor Society because of her attendance and tardiness that I
025was told. She was on a medical waiver from a torn ACL. When brought to this attention of the faculty, I was told she didn't apply for the medical substitute. Yet, at the same time, she was given the elevator key so she could get to her classes. You have like 10 seconds. Okay. To wrap it up and move forward, my daughter received the National Teams Honor Scholarship from a local college. So, I find it hard to believe that one piece of paper would define my daughter. But I also find it hard to believe that as a community, a board, a school, that we make decisions like this and we don't follow through in one step. That we give them, we throw out the fish and then we take it away. I think we can be better
026than this. I think if we're going to choose people for National Honor Society, we give them the letter, we choose it, and it's over and not lead us on to roads that, you know, are disappointing. Thank you for sharing. Does that make sense? I can. Yeah. Well, that was good. Thank you so much for coming. And there's a second participation at the end of the meeting if you choose to participate again. Okay. Okay. Um consent agenda. Is there a motion to approve the consent agenda? Second roll call, please. Mrs. Foley, yes. Mr. Light, yes. Mr. Chester, yes. Mrs. Yes. Okay. And then we are sorry I'm trying to find the end of the consent report. Thank you.

Uh this concludes the superintendent's report. Thank you, Mr. Is there a motion? So second. Any discussion? Um I had a couple things. First is the substitute rate we're is that what it was last year? Um so for uh all the classified which one the $150 um yeah that's the same. That's the same. There's no changes there.
034Okay. And then the second thing was in the student handbook. I had a question. Um there's a little bit of a change in the student handbook with regard to how absences are handled with attendance. Um where a doctor's notes recommended for all absences due to illness, but you can have up to 10 medically excused absences without a doctor's note. So do you happen to know because we all have kids, one illness sometimes takes three days. Are those if a student's out with one illness for three days, does that count as three separate absences with regard to the measuring of when you need a doctor's note or would each day count as you know, you know what I'm saying? Like if my kids sick once and I know what they have and I know that they're
035going to be sick because, you know, if they throw up, they have to be without vomiting for 24 hours before they can come back. So that's going to take more than one day. I don't necessarily need to take my kid to the doctor when they're actively vomiting, but it's one illness. So, is there a way we can maybe adjust that to say where, you know, if each instance of illness, you know what I mean, where if it's like an absence of like several days in a row related to one illness, that doesn't necessarily need to be individual absences that would require a doctor's visit. Yeah. Jim, is that driven by the state requirements? We say 10 days. The state does it by hours because it makes more sense. But that 10 days times the hours
036the student day. Okay. So we don't have any say at all on that. We don't. What we typically recommend for families if you see a doctor is to just extend extend out. We see that typically all the time. Okay. You know, like I'm just someone that hates to take my kids to the doctor and I know how hard it is for parents to get off work, take their kid into the doctor if they're, you know, old enough to stay home sick, but then you have to take off work to take them to the doctor. There's nothing we can do about it. Then we're not requiring it, are we? We're not requiring after 10 days. After 10 days, right? But that would be do like you could do, too. Correct. Okay. You know, one thing we
037do for for um students that are under continual care, a note that says they're under the continual care of a physician, once they exceed that, that that can serve that purpose as well. So, it's not Yeah, it's not every time. We don't want people rushing and sending their kids to school because they don't want to go to the doctor, you know. So, as long as we know where that's coming from, so when people ask us, we can explain it to them. It's also a cost for some people. It's an unnecessary bear on their family, right? So even a tele um communication type of appointment could cost a lot of money with just to get this settled. I think that's we need to be flexible. Yeah. For clarification like if a child had asthma and they
038were missing for asthma that would be an ongoing condition. Correct. So once you reach that threshold you need the doctor's note if it's continuous piece and we can get that documentation from the doctor. Okay. just something that's like an ongoing making sure we're applying common sense if experience and I'd like to think that if if a parent ever has concern reach out to the to the building principal um or assistant principal and we can work through the situation. Um I know that we we've worked through a lot of situations over the years. Um at the end of the day we want kids to be healthy. It's important to be in school but there's always that that balance point. Yeah. And I think it's important that people know like you know a lot of times do
039reach out because these are things that are required by the state and we will be as flexible as we can and it's not we're not trying to neglect people. Right. Exactly. Okay. Anyone have anything? I had a question about when we're looking at things like the curriculum adoption at AP gov do we look at um like AP passage rates with how are how are we selecting curriculum we would use for something like that? Yeah, I I know I think Betty Joe had worked closely with Jeff Goodman on that. Looked at different different pieces. Uh and the outcomes are always going to drive what's best aligned to provide the the outcomes we want with fees. So, not just the passage, but what are we accomplishing? The whole package of it and what outcomes we want and
040and preparation. Um yeah, AP government's usually a highly selected course. It's typically a first AP course for a lot a lot of students. But yeah, that's the the process there. Okay. Does anyone have anything else? Roll call, please. Mr. Leic. Yes. Mrs. Cher. Yes. Mrs. Yes. Mrs. F. Yes. Mrs. Kaw. Thank you. A. Approval of financial reports.

Thank you, Mr. Is there a motion? Second. Any discussion? I just have a question about the bid. Okay. Lack of So, can you explain that? Um, so we put it out for a bid and um, we only got one bid and it was for part B. We the the bid was set in section A, section B, and then section C was just if you wanted to bid on both. Section A was the actual welding for the guard rails. Section
045B was the um, fencing part the like fabric fencing that we're going to put around it. We did get a bid for B, like I said, but nothing for A. We believe it was because the time frame that we put was so tight. Um so without any bids um for that part of the most important part doesn't make any sense except the second part. Okay. Is that so that's not normal for us not to get a bid? No. Um okay I guess we used to get like 30 people coming to bid on things but the last few years since co really there just isn't as much the work needs to be done. The work needs to be done. So Jim Smith is currently getting quotes outside because we didn't get the bids. We did the
046process. Now we can get quotes from outside. So he's working on trying to secure those. He's extending the timeline a little bit. He he really wanted it to be done before he started, but it doesn't look like there's anybody available that's going to be able to meet that timeline. And our welding students are just there yet. But do we anticipate like we'll probably get some quotes then we'll be able to Oh yeah. do this. Yeah, we're definitely going to get this started soon. I had a question about the um credit card revolving awards. What do we do with those? We just put them back into the general fund. Yeah, that's just it's a it's a compliance piece we have to do every year that we got. I have one other question. Okay. Oh, if if
047we were to determine with the turf being done two years ago, if we were to determine it doesn't need done in the next 10 years, what would happen to that allowment? So that's one of the great things about the O70 account is if you don't complete the project in 10 years, it goes back into the general fund. And if you did decide that that wasn't a project we were going to pursue after all, you just have to vote as a board to move it back and it goes into the general fund. Excellent. When when was the I I feel like it wasn't done since I was on the board. So when was the turf actually Seems like it was just two years ago. I've been on board the wait room upstairs right after. I I
048I personally don't recall. I have a recollection of it being precoid but I don't I don't want to miss I don't want to misspe I think that's started track the track was done last year but the turf I feel like was I don't remember that being I don't remember having that in nine tenure it was after but I feel like it is during five or six years into the plan I want to say it's not it's not at year 10 but it is it's not anything soon okay wasn't that years old wasn't so we did the turf shortly after I got here like in 2005 or six. I think we did it again like in 200. So 15 years. Okay. So it's been I think it's been we went and looked when we were in
049Columbus at Ohio State because Luke was there and that would have been we went and looked at probably 18 or 19. Yeah, Luke was there. Then it was done after six, seven years ago. So I would say it was done after 19. Okay. Just curious. So, we're like we're still five or six years out at least like it's not next year or anything like we're within the schedule of when these things are typically happening. We're not rushing it. No, no, no. The last one lasted 15 years, I think. Yeah. And again, if that would be the end of if we get to the 10 years and it isn't necessary, you can either um vote to move it back in and give it another 10 years or it'll just go back into the general fund that
050the funds. It doesn't tie us to having to do it at that time if it doesn't. Okay, that's all I have to Okay. Um, anything else? Roll call, please. Mrs. Trescer, yes. Mrs. Yoli, yes. Mrs. Foley, yes. And Mr. Yes. Okay. Thank you, Mr. Okay. Sorry, I lost my spot again. I think we're unfinish. Unfinished business. Is there any unfinished business? I'm still waiting. I emailed um over to see if there was any update on those legal talking about with the village. I know that some things about the data center have hit the um public has become more aware of it than they have been. We've been talking about this for a long time. For our part, we sold the property. We sold the easement. We sold the deed restriction um on the walking path
051on the 50 rooftop. And for us, that's that's about our our concern with it right now, right? Am I am I Anyone have anything else? I think that um we're waiting to hear back on the legal fees/closing costs that were supposed to be covered per the contract and I have not gotten feedback from the village on that yet. So I think um the attorneys tried to reach out last week heard from their attorney was April 18th. So I reached out to the mayor directly just on Friday. So I wouldn't expect to have over the weekend. I don't think it's but hopefully we'll hear something soon. Did they I don't recall did we ever come to any sort of agreement on the cross country? We left it where it is and we didn't need to do
052that. Like I mean we went through all the the back and forth to figure out if we were going to move it, but ultimately if they wanted to proceed with it as is where it was in place that was required no change from us. So we didn't need to do any action on that. Um so that's how it stands. It is asis as it was in the initial agreement. The other clarification, um, Jen, there was a lot of question questioning around how we stand to lose money if there's a business brought in. And so maybe like a brief description of how the state calculates if you give that abatement, you're still getting counted as though you were getting that that income. The state formula. Yes. So um they just base it on your total valuation.
053So they don't care whether you're collecting all of the tax on valuation or not. It would reduce our state share increase our local share on that funding formula. But again, until we know the actual numbers and the amount of time, we really can't say how any abatement would affect the district um because there's too many variables. But that's why we keep asking to just be able to be at the table in those discussions so that we can um somebody's there that understands how it works and can explain to them what the ramifications of any possible but unfortunately we have not people a few people have asked and I've directed people to the back our board meetings are all recorded. So on October 4th, we had the developers here asked a lot of questions. We're able
054to get a lot of answers there that are all documented and then have another discussion on October 15th um that went into a little bit more detail on how the financing works and with phantom revenue because it does look like we have more money coming in locally and we're not actually getting that money if there's an abatement. That's where the down downfall is. So if we were getting all the money we if there was no abatement we would likely be fine and probably have an increase in the income. But with any abatement, that state funding, assuming that we're getting the local funding that we don't actually see, is where the problem is. And those abatements are generally for a long time. It's not like a two-year plus. It's generally like 10 years. When what about
055in New Albany? What did they give? Um I think they gave a pretty significant one in New Albany. I'm not exactly sure. But we only get involved in abatement discussions, but they're only required to get our approval for it when it gets to 100%. or 80 over 75 over 75 or 10 years. Okay. So they over 75 for 10 years or or 10 years or or so they can go up to 10 years and 74% and not have a word from us. Okay. And I don't think that that's the intention of anyone to do anything and we have the same taxpayers so we all serve the same people. So obviously we all want to do the best by them. So I think that working together and having expertise of this is capo Mr. on would
056be beneficial that especially because school funding is true. Okay. And I don't think there's any other old businesses there. Um new business. Nothing. Correspondence and announcements. The district will be closed Friday, July 4th for Independence Day. The next regular board of education meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, July 15th at 5:45 in the Tarbo Center conference room. Madam President, can I also add that we'll be auctioning the house on July 9th here at the board office at 12:30 for anybody who's interested. July 9th at 12:30. At 12:30, are you going to be the auctioneer? I am. Excited. [Laughter] Um, further public participation. Oh, did you have something? You're just you're bidding on the house, your paddle. Um, Mrs. Taylor, would you have any further public participation? Um, I would just ask is the house announced? Is
057it been Yeah, it has to be publicly not noticed. So, time on the 9th at 12:30 on a Wednesday afternoon. Sorry. It's July 9th, a Wednesday afternoon. So, how has the public been um educated? because I know like I'm just a general person out there in the world and I've seen maybe one public notice. Yeah. So you put it in the paper once and then it's been on our website. Yes, it's been on our website and social media. Have you put it on the community page? Community page to the community page um because we don't control that venue. So we tend to stay with venues being I just look at it as how many people do you want to come and bid on it. You know I look at it as a business you want
058to promote it as much as you can and if it's people you want to come to the community. I mean the community is building at a rapid rate. Feel free to share information. Well absolutely but if you don't see it you can't share it right. We put it on all our social media and our board our website. I think people have been sharing it. I have seen it quite a few times because we have different things with the not just like the high school within the school district posted it. So I've seen numerous people post it from just several school sites and not just the Perry High School one or anything like And I will add that if it doesn't go at the at the auction by by law, we're required to have a public
059auction on any public property being sold. If it doesn't sell at that point, then we can list it in a general manner how most houses are listed. So if it doesn't reach a certain reserve that the board would determine after that offer is made, then it would it would be listed. I know for the Menor schoolhouse, um, I worked with Auburn, but I've also worked closely with Menor because that's my alumni. And one year they actually used a realer who did not take a percentage to sell it. Um, I'm hopefully it will sell and it'll be a great thing and it'll continue on. Yeah, we had really good success with the the past houses and I think the kids do a great job, teachers do a great job and generally it's it's a it's a
060good thing for everybody and we've been very successful with it and look forward to being in the future as well. Okay. Um is there a motion to adjurnn? So move second. Roll call, please. Mrs. Yes. Mrs. Foley is absent. Mr. Light. Yes. And Mrs. Yes. Thank you.
