We will however provide a written response to each member of the public who is recognized either by email or the US Postal Service. Next on the agenda is the face of a Raven Awards recognition. Thank you. Um each month we recognize staff and students who have gone above and beyond or done something spectacular. Typically the staff members have been nominated by other staff members in the district and students are nominated by um either their teachers or their building principles. So at this time uh we're going to recognize uh three adults and uh also six students. If you could go over to this side of the

004stage. Um, we're going to do the adults first in order and then the students um by grade level. Your principles or and building administrators will be able to help you. Board members, if you can make your way to the um to the stage, I'd appreciate it. Okay. So, we got All right. The same size. Those two are the same size. I got you. Good. Okay, we're going to uh skip Mr. Dockerty. He is starting his musical performance at West Main and then when hopefully he'll be back in time. So, we're going to start with our first adult, Mrs. Deanna Krauss. She's an educational assistant from Revena High School. If you can make your way across the stage, I know she's super excited to do this. Mrs. Krauss has devoted many years of service to Revena

005High School and the school district, consistently helping our students reach their fullest potential. She advocates for and supports our students in countless ways. Recently, she proposed and facilitated a collaboration between Revena High School shop class and the Portage County Farm Bureau, which we're going to actually talk about in a few minutes, which led to the generous donation of a new saw stop table saw. Her unwavering commitment to both the community and the school district is truly unparalleled. Thank you, Mrs. [Music] Krauss. All right, we're going to start with our students. Our first one is Riley Dennis from Ravena Preschool. Riley, you look spectacular tonight. Riley is always a great friend and she follows the rules. She works hard every single day. Riley is kind to everyone and helps her friends when they need it. She

006has grown so much during her time in preschool. We're so proud of Riley for being such a great student and a role model to everyone in class. Way to go, Riley. All right, our next student is Kevin. We are from West Park School. All right, come on, Kevin. Here we go. We are incredibly proud of Kevin's growth and achievements in kindergarten. His journey has been inspiring. from being unsure about school routines to embracing the joy of learning. His enthusiasm for sharing all he has learned is infectious, making our classroom a vibrant place of learning. His knowledge of letters and sounds is impressive, and he's already reading. But that's not all. Kevin is also adding and subtracting, showing a strong foundation in math. His communication skills have grown so much this year. He has learned to

007share his needs, wants, and imaginative play with other. His bright and curious mind combined with his cheerful disposition truly captures the face of a raven. Kevin, our shining star, West Park, you've made us all so proud this year. Keep soaring high. Good job, Kevin. All right. Our next student is from Willard Elementary, grade 1, Malachi Typton. Malachi comes to school every day with a smile and a hug for all of his teachers and friends. He is always polite, considerate, and thoughtful of others. Malachi is a great friend to his classmates. He is the first student to share with others, including anyone who might feel left out or offer assistance to another student in need. Although it is a great challenge for Malachi to communicate, he has learned to control himself when he is frustrated and

008use his patience when others are trying to understand him. In addition to his sweet and fun-loving personality, Malachi has grown in all academic areas this school year. He has worked so hard to master his letters and sounds as well as improve his counting, handwriting, and motor skills. Malachi is a great kid with so much potential, and all of his teachers are so proud of him. Daily Malachi demonstrates our will way. Respectful, responsible, and in control. Way to go, Malachi. All right. Our next student is from Brown Middle School, Braden Richards, grade eight. Braden is such a bright face. Go ahead. Pop it up for Braden. [Applause] Braden is such bright face at Brown Middle School. He is friendly with everyone in the building and always willing to lend a helping hand to staff and students

009in addition to being such a positive person. He also volunteers to coach at the Portidge County Board of Developmental Disabilities in his free time. He is a leader in our school and community and all-around positive student and Brown loves to have him as a student there. Congratulations, Braden. Our next student is a junior from Revena High School, Genevie [Applause] Fletcher. Jenny is a classroom aid in the adaptive intro to cooking class. It was originally an error in her scheduling. When I brought this to her attention, she asked if she could stay and help. She has been amazing with our special needs students. She takes initiative, works hard, works hands-on with her students in a loving and general manner. She often volunteers to help uh with setup and activities. That's from Mrs. Masle. Three teachers actually

010nominated you, so I think it's important to hear this. She continues to lead by example in uh her work with the high school's multiple disabilities classroom on a daily basis. Jenny proves to everyone in the vicinity that she is someone that has a big heart and a can do attitude. Uh, Mr. Williamson said, "You're truly a face of a raven." And finally, uh, Mrs. Castigleon. Jenny is an incredible help during 7th period cooking class with the MD and resource units. She is so much patience and is very kind and helpful. So, congratulations, Jennif. We really appreciate what you [Applause] do. All right. Now that Mr. Doc's back. We also have Alexis Hollander, fourth grade from West [Applause] Maine. Alexis is an outstanding student. She is kind and respectful to everyone and always ready to learn.

011She is a model student who is always demonstrating what it means to be a Raven, respectful, responsible, and in control. And her teachers all think that they are so proud to have Alexis in class. Congratulations, Alexis Hollander. Mr. Docker, can you stay right there? Yeah, right there. I don't think he knows yet that he's also a face of a raven this month. Are you [Applause] [Music] surprised? Mr. Dr. Doerty had seven nomination, I'm sorry, eight nominations from the staff this month. It's the most we've ever [Music] had. So, there's about 10 pages here, so I'm going to try and paraphrase so we're not here all night, but here's some a few things that his teachers uh and staff said about him. He's an incredible asset to West Main. consistently goes above and beyond to support

012the entire school community. Whether it's responding immediately when a teacher needs help with students or staying late to empty trash cans when there's no night custodian, Mr. Doerty always steps up without hesitation. His commitment shines not only through his actions but also through his words. His thoughtful and heartfelt Friday thoughts are always on point, providing encouragement and connections when it's needed most. His selfish, selflessness, reliability, and genuine care make him truly an awesome and deeply appreciated by everyone at West Main. Um, I don't know if anyone understands, but West Main has had some trying times in the last couple weeks. Um, passing of a student and his staff is super supportive and super um, thankful that he led them through this because it was an emotional time for all of us and they could not

013say enough about his strength, empathy, compassion, and understanding. So, thank you, Mr. Doct, for what you do for our students. [Applause] All right. So, um we are going to take a brief uh break. If you want pictures, we're going to do them right outside here along this back of the wall here. Um you are more than welcome to come back after our recess, but you're also more than welcome to go home after this if you choose not to stay. Okay, thank you. Okay. May we have the treasures update? Uh, yes. So, first I would like to thank the community and the levy committee on the passage of the 5-year emergency levy. as um we have been relaying in our meetings and finance meetings that this was a huge component to the fiscal stability of the

014district, but it's not the only component. Um I'm vowing our continued philosophy from the treasur's department that we will continue to practice collaboration on budgets with u Mr. Ryland and the building administrators of fiscal responsibility and transparency to the community. So, where are we at with uh the governor's budget? Uh currently, right now, the Ohio Senate is holding their hearings on the state education budget. Once that is completed, the House and Senate will go into close session and then they will report back to the governor and we are expected late June uh to have a signed governor's budget. So, um what does that mean with fiscal oversight? Uh we're currently still in fiscal oversight until we get all the funding components in place. In August, um I will complete a revised five-year forecast reflecting the

015budget. And um per Ohio Department of Education and Workforce, they are expecting um a release of the district from fiscal oversight towards the end of a August, early fall. So that is my report. Thank you. Yes. Thank you. Next on the agenda is the superintendence update. Thank you. All right. Uh got a little list here. Um but I wanted to recognize some great accomplishments that we've uh had. I want to echo that uh I want to thank the community for their support um with the school levy. We uh will continue to carry out on our half behalf the fiscal responsibility and um consolidation plan that we have set up moving forward. Um but we certainly appreciate after 20 years uh getting some of that new money for the operating levy. Um I just wanted to

016recognize a few things. Uh last weekend, our band and our choir from the high school traveled to Sandusky to compete in uh um music performance out at Cedar Point. Both our band and our choir received superior uh ratings that day. Um it's the first time that both our band and choir have received that in many many years uh that superior rating. So, I want to congratulate all of our students and staff who worked uh very hard on that. Also, I want to congratulate our softball team. Um they won uh double digit wins this season. It's the first time in as long as I can remember here in uh Ravena that um they've won double digits. They won their first tournament game beating Men Lake Catholic um last week at home eight to nothing in a

017no hit uh shutout from Whitney Holmes as the pitcher. Um they did fall to fifth ranked West Branch in their other tournament game last night six to3 but it was a hard-fought battle and uh just want to recognize the program for a big turnaround this year. Also, um we are graduating about 150 seniors on Tuesday evening. Just thrilling the plan is that we will be outside on Tuesday night, weather depending. Um we do have a rain date scheduled for Wednesday evening as well. Um Mr. Lane plans to send out updates should the weather not cooperate both nights. We do have a third backup plan that we could carry out should we need to do that. Also, with West Park closing, uh I just wanted to mention that we are um going to have a community

018night so that uh people can come in and take a look around the building and keep some of their memories close to them. Uh we will be putting that out uh through social media as well as the newspaper to uh recognize that evening. And finally, my most exciting news of the evening. Actually, we have two more things. Um we are planning with the passing of the levy after discussing it with the board. Um we are planning to bring high school busing back for next year. So um all those students who have had to walk or parents that have had to make the trek into school. I appreciate your patience as we did that. But we wanted to recognize that our community has supported that. And um we will be sending out a Google form to

019parents at the high school for you to fill out should you be interested in using that busing if you qualify within a certain distance. The final thing that I want to talk about tonight and recognize is um that we um have had a very generous donation given to us from the um yeah, Portage County Farm Board. Um as I mentioned earlier this evening, uh Mrs. Krauss uh has coordinated this whole thing with Mr. Parker's industrial technology department. Wanted to make sure I didn't say industrial arts. I heard you get correct somebody today. Um but they um graciously have donated a saw stop table saw stop industrial cable cabinet table saw with router um table extension. And I believe the saw is valued at over $8,600 um plus tax as well as they've given us a

020monetary donation of approximately uh I think $1,400. Is it higher than that? My bad. The tax took some out. Okay. So, it's but regardless, there's a monetary donation that goes with that um to our shop club account for incidentals and future tools and material purchases that are outside the norm of our normal purchases. Um the pledged total donation is approximately $10,000 from the Farm Bureau. Um we are so grateful for their um work on that. I uh got to come in and help unpack the saw and try and get it all set up with a bunch of students and adults. Um we hope that this begins a long mutual benefic beneficial relationship for both of us and um we do have some members from the farm board here this evening. I'd like to recognize them.

021I think they wanted to say a word or two possibly about what they do and and and the donations. So, first of all, thank you. Yes. Thank So, [Applause] [Music] thank you. Uh, my name is Nick Kennedy. I'm the organization director for the Portage County Farm Bureau. And, uh, just to give you a quick insight of who we are and what we are and what we do, uh, the organization has been around since 1919. Um, so, uh, importish county holds the distinction of being the first county farm bureau in the state of Ohio. Uh we have uh county farm bureau across every county across the country. Uh locally we've got about 800 families that are members. It's a membership organization uh statewide about 60 70,000ish somewhere in that range and nationally over 6 million. And

022part of our our uh goal as an organization is community outreach and education. Um and we try to do whatever we can whenever we can. And this was a great opportunity that came forward with us. Uh we're grateful for that opportunity and and like uh our superintendent said, we hopefully this will continue on a nice long relationship for us uh and a partnership in the future for some things. Um, and one I guess one thing I always tell folks when I talk about who Farm Bureau is and kind of some of the big uh cornerstones of the things that we've done early on as an organization, we literally rode the backs of railroad cars around the country talking about electricity and talking about Ohio State Extension in Ohio and and what the importance was for

023that. And so if you go to the Ohio State campus, you'll see a plaque of where all the documentation was signed on campus for our organization. And then one of the main biggest things that we did as an organization in 1926 is we started an insurance company that we all know today as Nationwide Insurance. So this little farm organization of about 60 70,000 members now. Um we don't I don't sell insurance but um I I get to do the fun part. I get to work with the local farmers and help them with their needs. But with our our folks across the state, across the country now, it's great to kind of see what this little farm organization started and that's what Columbus honestly the downtown area as well has become with the with this organization.

024So just glad we can do our our small part here. I'm Jason Krauss. I'm the president for Porsche County Farm Bureau for the moment. I actually term out this year and in the last eight years I've been looking to partner with a school for a project of some sort and it just so happened that my beautiful wife came to me and said that Mr. Parker could use some help. And we kind of got together and I talked to the board and we all decided that it would be a great program to get into with the need of agriculture needing skilled trades. We need carpenters and plumbers and etc etc. And it's one way that we could reach out and not just help a few, but hundreds if not thousands to come. And I really appreciate

025the chance and opportunity to be a part of it. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. So, the next two things that we're trying to work on and one of the things that we're going to work with Mr. Parker on is um what we're calling a little farmer library. So, we're building lally a little library that hopefully the elementary students across the county in each of the schools will be able to decorate and then we're going to have agricultural related books be put into the libraries. Uh kind of if you think about the take a book, leave a book mentality or some of the food covers that you see out on people's lawns or or other buildings. Um we kind of felt maybe it needed to be inside to keep things a little bit more up

026up to date and and and in good shape. And another thing that we're excited about partnering with uh this would be Friday last week next year. Um we have Dr. Temple Grandon coming to this school and we're going to be hosting her to do a talk on cattle and a little bit on autism here in the community as well. And so we're excited about that because this is something we were hoping to do this past week. Um but we have to go through our processes for approval and we missed the the deadline for them on on a on a date for that. So, we've got it settled in for next year, and we're very appreciative of the school being willing to help us host it, host her. And so, if you haven't got a chance

027to know who she is, there was a movie made about her. Um, and then she was named a person, uh, a woman of the year for USA Today this year, uh, as well. So, we're really excited to have her here in the community. Great. Thank you so much for your contributions and partnership. We look for um, many more years of this. So, thank you very much. Thank you. Yes. Okay. Next are the um reports from the board, the Maplewood and then parks and recreation. Mrs. Sean, may we have the Maplewood report? Um this last meeting we got to visit the carpentry department. Uh it was so imp it was as impressive as the um electrical um program that they have. Uh the equipment they have is amazing and the work that these kids can do

028is really really something. Uh they're building buildings within Maplewood and these kids are going out and finding jobs right away. Um, they have uh they will build for if you have specs and they have the time, they will build sheds for you or uh decks and uh it it was just really exciting to hear the kids talk about what they're doing. they have um one one girl told us that uh she's going to use uh the money that she makes to go to college and I thought wow that's really great and that's what one of the uh boys in the electrical program told us also um also Revena as of May 15th has 66 kids that are going to be going to um Maplewood next year and uh we had a senior be uh Brittany

029Hawkins who was the uh student of the month for Maplewood. Um let me see. They did have a all year perfect attendance breakfast that was held yesterday and they also have a drawing for a prize that will be held on May 23rd which was kind of cool for their their um perfect attendance people. And May 28th is their graduation and we both Mike and I will attend. Uh I don't know if uh our principal is going or not. I'm not sure. Uh but he usually goes also. And I think that's my report and we will be here if if it's raining on Tuesday. We will be here for the graduation. Otherwise, we'll be a backward. Anything you wanted to add about the carpentry? Very impressive. Um like Mrs. Sean said, um these students work extremely

030hard and their work shows. So, that's it. Okay. Thank you. Uh, set sail for treasure islanding is an event that the Rivana Parks and Recreation and also Reed Memorial Library will be hosting um as a summer celebration on Friday, June 6 from 5 to 8 um in City Park. So, there's going to be free admission, there's costumes, there's contests, there are food trucks, live music, uh photo booths, all kinds of things going on.
