Mr. Bill, >> yes. >> Next up, we have the treasur's report. >> Thank you, Mr. President. Uh, in your packet behind the yellow sheet, you will find the financial report for July. Financial report report for July. Uh total revenue for the general fund 18.9 million. Total expenses for the general fund 8.1 million. Our ending cash balance on the back side. Our ending cash balance is 44.3 million. Uh we did receive a tax advance uh of 16.3 million. We haven't received our final settlement of taxes. uh as the auditor receives funds, we request
006uh to receive those dollars so we can invest them, you know, on our books, not the auditor's books. Try and retain as much investing investment income as possible. Permanent improvement funds, $3 million in revenue, again, that's tax advance. Total expenditures 2.1 million. Our ending cash balance in the PI fund, uh just north of 1.9 million. uh mentioned that tax advance uh expenditures which were all budgeted for uh $1 million here at Oak Hills High School in roofing projects and then we also issued a dispersement for $394,000 for Chromebooks uh in our technology budget again which is all appropriated and board approved as we discussed um in the spring with our forecast. So all of those expenditures were formally approved. There's no other questions. That's all I have this evening. questions. >> Okay, we can move
007on to the superintendent report. >> All right, it is my honor to introduce Mr. Brian Connor. Brian is our new principal here at Oak Hills High School and I believe uh going to give us an update on some of the changes that they have made here with the high school. So, Mr. Connor motion. >> Thank you. Appreciate it. Mr. Pnoff, welcome board of education. Um I'm very humbled and excited to be here to represent O'KIS. This is my 11th year in the district and I'm really proud of that. Um, this summer was really busy. Um, started on May 27th over here at the high school. We had the typical hiring and then we had some atypical hiring that happened during the the summer months at the high school. Um, some surprises and then including the
008unfortunate mist uh mishap with Mike Lindsay and his passing. We had hired him a week a week earlier and then he passed away a week later. So that was very unfortunate. Um, but through all the ups and downs of the summer, I think we've had a really great start to the school year. Um, we have a great administrative team and if you talk to any of our administrators, I told them all they could stay home tonight because being the first year, this is what's going to be my show tonight and not theirs and they've heard this all before. And we have a busy couple weeks coming up, but they're going to be here a lot. So, I told them to spend some time with their family tonight. So, that's why they are not here tonight.
009So, I gave them the pass tonight. But our motto is to win every day by providing visibility, feedback, and followthrough with all of our staff, our students, and our community. So that's kind of our administrative mantra for the year. Um, one of the things that we started to reinvigorate this year was our house system. I know that that has been the thing that has happened in the past here at Oakills. Um, unfortunately, probably with the passing of Mrs. Schlommer and then some responsibilities got reallocated, that went away a little bit. Um, with 2400 students, we needed to figure out a way to make sure the kids felt connected, parents felt connected, and we built more of a stronger community here at Oakills so that everybody in the community feels connected to Oakills High School. So,
010we took a visit, the administrative team did, we went to Satan High School this summer because they've been running the house system for about 10 years now. They do it pretty well. And I always think if somebody's doing something well, we can always learn from them. So, we went over there and spent some time with Satan High School and we learned a lot. But our big takeaways was that uh the house system eventually is going to build the capacity to have student leaders in our building and give them a voice in the educational process here at Oak Hills. And that was the big thing that we took away from the house system and how we're going to build our house system. So as I talk about the house system, I hope that you realize that
011it's a multi-year implementation. This is not something that we can take off and just do the entire thing in one year and make sure that it's successful. This is a vision that we have over a couple years and we hope in a couple years from now we're doing it pretty well and we're doing things in in a capacity to give better to our students. So, um the first thing that we did with our house system, the previous house system was named house one, two, three, and four. So, I gave the uh the the I don't know the edict to our house principles that they had to name their house. And being the Highlanders, it was very easy for us to come up with names because of the Scottish Highlanders, the plans of the Scottish Highlands.
012So each house is named after a Scottish clan. Um our house grant has the principal Shannon Richie. She's our house principal of that house. Um she works with Ken Mvers and she works with Angie Ray and Kristen Caputina and they make up House Grant. Karen Wilson is the administrative assistant for House Grant. House Mloud is house principal is uh Russ Busenecker. He works with Hannah Burns, Courtney Ruther, and Amy Asper and Beth Alers as their administrative assistant. And then House Stewart is Dan BS, Kina Southworth, um Katie Johnson, and then DJ Young. And Karen is also their administrative assistant. So why did we build this house system back up and try to reinvigorate? Well, this way, if you're a parent, you know who to contact, and you can get some things done and you can
013get some answers pretty quickly because there's a nice funnel that goes through. So, it depends on what your last name is and you funnel through the house. We started our summer with giving a little welcome letter to all of our community from myself and then each house sent their own welcome letter to their houses spelling out everything that's going on in their house and who to contact in their house and trying to break it down a little bit smaller so that the the students and the parents feel a lot more connected to the school and they're not calling up the office saying who do I talk to who do I talk to um so that was part of it but the big part was our students um we have expels here at Oakills High School
014where we're able to do some things in our expels and our houses are broken down into our expels. So, it's by alphabet. So, certain expels are in certain houses. And the goal, the long-term goal is this will comprise our student government and there'll be representation from each level, from each expel, from each house to come to our student government and our student council to bring ideas from everybody in the school community instead of just the five or six kids that usually run for student council and kind of run everything. And we know how that happens in a traditional high school. This is to pull out of there and provide leadership opportunities for many more kids. So, if you can imagine all of our teachers that have an expell in the building, if we're getting leaders
015from each one of those expels in the future, that's given us a capacity to really get a feel of what's going on inside the school building with our students, with our families, and really build a capacity from the inside up and really be able to cater the educational experience to our families needs and try to do things for individuals instead of just having systems that kids can funnel through whether they fit in that system or not. So that's really the whole idea behind the house system. It's it's to make a community feel like more of a community, but also to build capacity of our students. You can see my shirt. This is our Monday shirts. Um when we put this logo out, Mr. Graham put the logo out. We had somebody respond on the Facebook
016and I I try not to respond always, but I wanted to respond with some factual information because they were like, "Why is there a new tartan? We've had the tartan for 75 years and why are we doing new stuff?" And I was like, we have our original tartan on here, but then each house has their own tartan. And eventually, you'll probably see each house have some spearware with their house and some things of that nature going through it. So, this crest here represents our three houses plus our oakills overall tarp. Um, proud of our past and loyal to our future. If you know anything about the Scottish Highlanders, they were very proud people and they were very loyal people. So, we wanted to incorporate those two values and virtues of those folks. So, that is
017what our house system was there to provide for us. Um, like I said, this is a multi-year implementation. The first year, get it up and running and build the foundation, name the houses. The first week of school, we had house meetings and we set expectations with our houses. Um, instead of bringing kids in just by grade level by freshman or sophomores and juniors and seniors, we brought them in by house. And I think you saw kids act a whole lot better because the seniors came in knowing they were going to be role models to the freshman and the freshman came in like all right there's a whole bunch of upper classmen here so we can't act like goofballs because they're not going to put up with that either. So it built in the capacity right
018away for some role modeling and being some leadership right off the bat. And we had three great meetings. Um I was I'll be real honest with you. I was nervous when we decided to do this and we're going to bring about 850 kids into the gym and sit them up there and I was going to talk on a microphone and uh you could have heard a pin drop in each one of those three meetings because our kids were absolutely fantastic and listened to every word that we said and it was fantastic. Um so the other things that we have going on here at Oakills before I open up for any questions we have our academic o ceremony on Wednesday night which I'm really excited for. Um, obviously there's all kinds of great things going on
019in sports world at a high school, but ultimately we are here to provide academics for kids as well. And we have our academic o, which I'm really excited about. We sent home our governor's merit scholarship letters. So our top 30 juniors at the end of their junior year, and this is where it gets tricky because the cuto off date is the last day of school of your junior year is when that starts. So that top 30 could change over the summer and into senior year. But the governor's merit scholarship goes at the end of that junior year. So, we were able to send those home and those students are eligible for $5,000 renewable for all four years of college. And so, they choose and they go to an Ohio State school, state institution in the
020state of Ohio. We hosted our ACT here on Saturday and then Dr. and uh is working with Kristen Listman and myself and we're building some capacity for our students and we're hoping to build an Oak Hills Business Professionals Association and that would be Oak Hills graduates who live in the community and own businesses because our next step with some of our students is we have kids in an AP track and we have kids that are going to Diamond Oaks and then we have this group of kids that are stuck in the middle there with sometimes not knowing what they want to do. So, we're going to try to build this capacity with some career exploration and do some things. And Dr. C's been really great in helping me navigate that as we start the school
021year and learn that. So, we're excited about trying to provide some opportunities for our students that are kind of in the middle of the road there and they're not always sure of what they're what they're wanting to do. Uh we met with a gentleman today talking about even pushing it down into the junior high. And the one thing that I like that he said a lot and Mr. Phil Pler were just talking about it with with one of your sons is it's okay to try something and know you don't like that as much as it is to try something and know that you do like that. So our capacity is to try to make sure our kids get exposure to different things in the career world career world so they can see if there's things
022that they're out there that they're interested in and things that they're not interested in so they can steer clear of that and not just do something because mom or dad is pushing them in that direction. So we have a lot of great things happening here at Oak Hills High School. I could go on and on. Um, but that's just a little snippet of what's gone on for the first three weeks. And I'm really excited to be here and I'm really happy to represent Elkills and um I appreciate the board for giving me this opportunity questions. >> I have a question. So, can you do students move from one house to the next from year to year? >> No, they stay in their houses. They'll stay in there. It's based on their It's based on the
023alphabet. Um, just because we're such a large school. It's kind of interesting. Um, just a real quick when we went to Seatin and we asked them, they said they had to do a house system over there because they felt they were getting so big they couldn't connect to their students and they have 791 kids in the whole building this year. So, their houses are about 190 and our houses are about 790 per house. So, it's a little bit different of an atmosphere when you talk about the two different schools and some things. Um, but nonetheless, we were able to steal some good ideas from Satan and then build on some of the stuff that was done here previously. Um, but like I said, we just needed to make sure kids knew what they where they
024connected, who they were connected to, familiar faces. And when we did those house meetings with expectations, I was able to start the meeting and then I turned it over to the house principal. We introduced everybody in the houses. We introduced them, made sure everybody knew who people were and they could feel connected to that, knew where everybody was in the building and things of that nature. >> And then they would take classes with students from other houses. >> Yes, they'll be in classes. They're spread out. Yeah, classes are spread out throughout. It's just the expells within their they'll stay within their house. And then like I said, we had some games at the pep rally that were house versus house games. So, we're trying to build some of that, you know, camaraderie, but also competition
025within as well and have some fun with it, too. >> Have you had any kids asked to be moved out of their house yet? >> We have not. Nope. Everybody seems pretty happy. >> Depending on who they go to lunch with, say >> no, that doesn't that doesn't affect their lunch menu at all. >> They all go to lunch. you know, we have five lunch bells, so it's not all at the same time, but >> that that doesn't affect it. It more affects just so you as a parent, if you have a question, it gives you a real nice way to funnel where you're going and things of that nature and feel connected to the school. And then lets kids get to know our house principles a little bit better. They're in IEP meetings for
026their students in their houses. They're doing things. They'll have some house meetings where they go in and do stuff with their houses and talk about that kind of stuff. >> My kids school doesn't have a club. I don't know our size and they do it. >> Yeah. They did it by color. It was a big deal. Yeah, that's >> I think my um older kids uh were 9, 10, and 14 on their graduation years. And we had definitely a bigger house presence then >> um as opposed to the twins who just graduated. And I will tell you, I think it made a difference. Um so I'm glad to see >> Yeah. And that's our goal. Like I said, no offense to whoever started the last time, but House one or House Grant sounds a little
027bit different. And when you have your own tartan and your own motto and your own thing, makes it feel a little bit more connected to that rather than just house one or house two or house three. >> Yeah. >> I think from a parents perspective, it helped me. Um, but also the kids, I know my older kids talked about their house >> where the twins just wasn't anything that they talked about at all. So, >> good luck. Thank you. >> Great. Great work. >> Thank you. >> I think to follow up, I mean what for everybody to know the house is the four staff members. It's an assistant principal, two counselors, and a school psychologist. So when Brian was naming each house, that's each house. That's what they are made of as far as the
028adults that oversee that house. Um and then we talk a lot about MTSS and really how we track kids and progress and Brian and I have had this conversation. Um, it really will give our houses that ability to track the kids within their house. When you're talking attendance, academics, who are your kids that were, you know, they're struggling academically and all and and really it's an ownership there. Instead of 2,000 kids going through the school, now you have a smaller community that is owned by an assistant principal, two counselors, and a school psychologist. And really, that's what we're trying to do here. And I didn't get into all the details, but like I meet with each of the houses twice a month. So we talk about our kids that are struggling academically, our kids that
029are struggling with attendance. We talk about our top academic kids in the houses, talk about different opportunities for kids in the houses. So I meet with each of the house groups twice a month so that we can have these conversations and keep track of things just like Mr. Beck and Hobs said, so we can, you know, we have a better grasp of that and we can narrow down who's focusing in on those students that need the extra attention and how are we getting those students that extra attention instead of shuffling it off to people and then all of a sudden they get lost in the paperwork. This will hopefully help that not happen, you know, as frequently or at all so that we're have a nice group of kids that people are working with and
030they're accountable for. And as I said, we meet twice a month and we go through a a list of things for about 40 minutes twice a month. Make sure that we're all up to speed and everybody knows what's going on with each of those kids that needs some help. >> This may be a little too in the weeds question, but um and you know, you don't have to answer it, but my experience um in the past couple of years with the counselors is that they each had their own kind of area of responsibility. So even though the counselors were divided by alphabet, we had a counselor. Um when we needed to um help with CCP, we had to talk to someone else and we had to talk to someone else when we were talking college
031things and we did experience a lot of that not knowing who to talk to. So will the counselors be expected to more have a broader set of responsibilities? >> Yeah. So your counselor will be expected to have a broader set but you we also have Mrs. Gil is our college counselor to help those students and then Mrs. listister man took over position that Mr. Fouch started up when he was here and then we stole him away at Delhi Middle School and now he's doing great things over there. So um but he's here tonight but um Mrs. Listerman's in that role. So there is a little bit of things where you know but it makes it nice because like for example Mrs. Gilre was able to have a meeting with our seniors last week during Xelt
032and she was able to help them get on the common app and get things started and so it's not where we have six people that are doing that. she's she's honed in on an expert in that area. But no, your counselors are going to have to be a little bit more broader and a little more generalist to help out in all areas. And our counselors also know that even if when you're with you're in the house, let's say that the you're in the house mloud and you call up and Mrs. Burns is your counselor and she's not there for the day, Mrs. Ruther knows, she picks up the the phone, answers the phone, talks to that person, helps out as much as they can so that you're not just getting shuffled off and not not
033speaking to somebody for the day. You know what I mean? Like I said, the the kind of philosophy is is making sure we have feedback involved when we're visible in the building and that's how we win every day. And that's with our families as well. >> Thank you, Ryan. Thank you very much. >> Thank you. >> Next, we have district reports. >> No district report. >> Is anyone signed up to address? Yes. Um Joe, is this about something on the agenda or will you be at the end? The end. >> Okay. >> So, we'll move on then to um old business. >> No business. >> Business. >> Okay. New business.

At this um time, Mr. Taller signed up to address the board. >> Just state your name and address, please. >> Trigo 4561 Holy Road, Cincinnati High 45238. I just wanted to talk about absenteeism. I know that was a big uh item last year this year. Um, when I was writing this book, I was a little hesitant back in March 2024 before you guys start the initiative on tackling the equipment from first and second grade. I would run down from my back and forth bedroom to the thermostat, turn off the thermostat, sit on the for bed, knock on my parents door and other times I could stay a day. So I'm talking not just 5,
03910, 15, I'm talking about 30 days of cold. So I missed about 100 plus days between first and second grade. And by third grade that I kind of found at school and um hung out with my cousin while he was in my grade and he loved the book races and the spelling bees and contests and just got weather. I was a big weather channel freak. I mean, I had about 40 VHS's on the Weather Channel, which helped me when I did my eighth grade project, science project. I did a tornado um with the two models with the little plastic thing. And my class was so about how much I knew about tornadoes. And then coming in the hotel was 99, but all this was new. Um there's only not that was the first and only
040year I did not want to miss a single day of school and I did even though we even had a bomb dread the day after my birthday I did not want to miss because I was having so much fun and uh didn't want to miss because if I knew I missed the day I'd be behind of all the fun all the seniors like the seniors okay when we came in the seniors got brought schools together, you know, the hard grades together because they knew because of the, you know, they were new to all this, too. So, they took everyone under and just made the school year fun. And, you know, the playoffs, the first time witnessing playoffs for the first time in school history and uh, you know, homecoming, the first homecoming down in the
041gym, just everything was so fun. Like onethird at this point about my first year because it was so much fun. And then I realized at the end of that year I became jaded because I know the seniors were leaving those go away. that I was like really jaded and really depressed about during my sophomore year when I was really not feeling it anymore. But uh my junior year was when I discovered my writing and uh probably focused on just getting through my senior year and just focusing on my writing. And a lot of people won't notice about me either. Even though I hated school as a child, I went into daycare for six years as an infant and toddler's teacher. and uh and you know I just want to give some hope to you know
042administration teachers parents counselors that you know it's for me it was a phase and I embraced like my past even though I think missing the school those school days helped me realize that I you know you should miss school and you know you know stuff Thank you. If I could um add on or summarize what I'm hearing you say, I can't help but look at Mr. Connor who did a lot of work last year in the past couple years and and bringing um you know getting kids involved in things at the middle school level. And I think that's what it boils down to a lot of times is not everybody wants to be involved in athletics, right? But you need to find your group of friends or your your um things that you're interested in
043to that helps make school better. You want to come to school more. >> Yeah. And actually I want to add on something because you know the um he does the career affairs for seventh and eighth graders. And I always participated last year. I had some uh kids like whoa he writing in seventh and eighth grade like they didn't realize that they could be writing and like as a career like they were very impressed and I get a lot of writers who want to know about the process and how to get published and I'm thankful for great fost for doing this and having me. >> Thank you for coming. We always appreciate you your support to the district. Jeff, >> thank you, Joe. And that does build on um what we have talked about and and
044I in part you had asked about the clubs here at the high school and and Mr. Connors and I have talked about we're going to do that in January at one of the developments really to just so everybody has an understanding of all the different opportunities that kids have because it truly is it's about finding that connection for a kid, whatever that connection might be. And so we appreciate you coming out and talking, Joe. Hey, do we have anything under board discussion for the evening? >> Okay. Next, um I need a motion to move into executive session as necessary to protect the interest of the school district or the possible expenditure of public funds to be made in connection with economic development matters. >> So move. >> Call the roll, please. >> Mrs. >> Yes.
045>> Mr. Yes. Mr. >> Philpot. >> Yes. >> Mr. West. >> Yes. >> Mr. Street. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> We will shorten after the executive session. We will not return back here. Thank you. [Applause]
