001All right, it is 6 o'clock. So I'll call this February 9th, 2026 board of education meeting to order. Adam, would you call the role? Miss Hoffman here. Mr. Conley here. Mr. Here. Mr. Fer here. Mr. Ren here. Please join in the pledge of allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. All right. Um, so first item on the agenda, we have a presentation. Uh, Steve, you want to start us off? Sorry. All right. Thank you. I do have some people with me here today. Don't know me. Steve Ransky, career readiness coordinator for Sia School District. I have here with me um Jeff Bennett from Slovenia Township and we also have some representatives from Owens
002Community College, Bill Taylor and Matt Phillips. Um all here today very excited to share with you something that's been in the works for a couple of years now. Um implementing a new program to career tech. It's been a number of years since we have added a new program. Um and something that we are very excited about. And just to share what we've had so far, everything with check mark here. These are the pathways that we currently cover. So, as you can see, for one school district, we cover a good number of pathways. You know, agriculture, business, finance, you know, health science, which is very popular. But the one that you'll notice we do not have a check mark by is law and public safety. So, the question arises why not? Is it something that is
003necessary for us? Is it something that our kids are interested in? So, the way that this presentation is going to work is I'm going to share with you some data that we've been collecting for the last two and a half years. And then I'll turn things over to Jeff who's going to share kind of where they are with Sylvania Township, the fire department, and then show how this is really just stars aligning. It's really a perfect opportunity for our district, our students, as well as the uh township fire department. So in fall of 2024, we did some data using our U science um assessment. So the blue um shows the students top aptitudes. So we take all the students that took this science assessment. The blue shows their top three. So you'll see law and
004public safety is more than half of them in terms of their skills. Just as important, arguably more important is interest. We might have students that are skilled in certain areas, but they might not be interested in it. Well, the red shows also we have enough students interested also. 200 students, which is about a third of an entire grade, is both skilled for law and public safety and has interest in that. So, this is kind of when the conversation started happening internally. should we start looking at implementing whether it's firing MT, whether it's offering criminal justice, something along the line of public safety. So, this is kind of when the conversation started happening internally. I know this graphic might be hard to see, especially for you in the back here, but this shows our students currently
005in our career tech programs, our juniors. To the left, that is our medtech program. You can see that not only the blue is the number of seats that we have, red is students interested, yellow is number on a wait list. So we have more seats for medte than any other program, any two combined and we still have the largest weight list for medtech. So we thought, okay, now we have two reasons why we should look into another program. One, look at the number of students missing out on this that want to be in it and could there be some overlap there? could we offer something along the emergency medical service side that maybe these students who didn't get into medtech might be interested in. So looking at last year's data compared to this year's data,
006the left was last I'm sorry, our current year. So numbers from last year students that apply, you know, you'll see we had about 25 students on a wait list. Our medtech teachers were a little concerned. Is this going to drive away too many people that we're not going to be able to offer as much? But as you can see on the right by implementing the program, we did have some students from medtech go over to the fire EMT side. But we also grabbed from a new pool of students as well, which is ultimately what we wanted. 80% of our students this year applied for a career tech program, which we're pretty honored and we're very prideful of. So um this did not hurt in any way our medtech program, but it did allow more students
007into a career program that they otherwise would not have gotten. Okay, so that is where we were from a school district side and why it would make sense for us to offer a program and this was before we had any conversations with Jeff NY or anyone from Savannah Township Police or Fired, but I'll let them go through and explain where they were at and how it just our paths cross at the perfect time. Thanks for having us. Uh yeah. So our journey started with looking at our current training tower that's located behind the uh Samantha police station police station on King Road. It was built over 30 years ago and at the time we built it, there was no neighborhoods around it or anything like that. Well, the tower's aged. It's uh falling apart. It's
008repairable slightly, but it it doesn't meet our needs for training any longer. So we were looking at replacing it. When we started looking at do we put another tower in the same place, we realized we run into a lot of issues with neighbors training there. There's a lot of noise issues when we use uh actual burning. The smoke drifts into the neighborhoods. So, um we decided we needed to figure out another place to put it. And it just so happened that our number four fire station at um 8210 Pennsylvania Avenue near Centennial is surrounded by a quarry. And there's some property that's back behind our our property there. we were able to obtain that from the owners of the property or the quarry and um decided that we were going to build back there. So
009we started looking at towers uh came up with a very nice tower that'll that'll meet our needs. Um started looking at and saying you know I think we want to do something more than just build a tower for Sylvania Fire Department. We want to make this training facility something that we can give back to the community. Um, so we started looking at how we could invest in the community and what better investment than the kids in the in the future. So that's when we started talking. Well, we have a couple issues that we can address here. One, we we are very familiar with the medtech program. We've been supportive of it all along with kids who do ride alongs with us at our fire stations. Many of them expressed interest in being firefighters and EMTs.
010Um but we also looked at the fact that uh fire service in general is having a difficult time in the future in recruitment and retention. So we thought this was a win-win for our community and we could tap from a wonderful group of kids in our own community and train them to be firefighters and hopefully have them join our department and stay with us for their entire career and be able to live, work, and raise their own families right here in the community that we're in. So we uh that was a little brief look at at the property. This is the tower that we're purchasing. And uh so once we got that those things squared away, we came to the schools. Uh we gave Dr. Montley a call and said uh just had a little
011thought. What do you think? Um after a long moment of silence, we realized that she was back flipping or something. Um she said, "Yeah, we'd like to talk." So, uh, we started to talk and, um, it sounded like like Steve said, everything just came in line. So, what we thought was, um, instead of just doing part of this, we wanted to give these kids a full opportunity. So, we started looking at other partners and that's when Penna came on board, uh, to be the fire charter and help us with instructing. Um, all of our firefighters in Sylvania are paramedics, so we wanted to see if we could find a way to get them paramedic certification as well. Owens stepped right up. A amazing program in our own area here. Um, and many of our own
012paramedics that work for us now went to Owens as well. Um, and we have uh deals in place where they they're going to help kids with college credit. They're going to be able to leave uh the program here uh at Sane Schools with a fire one and two certification able to work. um they will have enough time to be able to go to Owens and be able to get their paramedic at 9 to 10 months after and be fully certified, be able to come back and start working a full-time career right after high school. So, some of the other things that we're looking at adding to our training facility, not only the tower, but we'll add car props and other burning crops that they'll be able to learn from, but we're also looking at building
013a 2,000 ft wooden structure that we would use for search and rescue. The nice thing about that is we hope to uh incorporate the other career tech programs here in Sylvania actually work on building that too and continue to come back and work on that structure to get hands-on training for their other programs as well. Yeah. So this is what the fire EMT program will look like. So the main pathways that this will cover are those that want to be a firefighter, fire inspector, EMT or paramedic. It will be two years. Um they will take two classes each year. So junior year they would do foundations of firefighting and EMS and fire one the second semester of fresh of junior year. Then senior year they would do fire two EMT. So they would get fire
014one, fire two EMT all out of the way before graduation. And as Jen mentioned, then they would be able to go right into Owens. We'd be able to roll that right over and have them get their paramedic. Um, so by the time they're 19 years old, they'll have everything done and ready to be a a full-time employee. Um, I don't know if there's anything you wanted to add about the paramedic piece. Just wanted to say thank you for the opportunity to participate. One of the things that's a pillar of Rollins Community College is community engagement. And when we heard about this program and the opportunity that this would provide to keep local talent local in the area, it was something we wanted to be part of. Um fire is changing dramatically. There's increased uh uh
015demand for EMT and paramedic within the firefighting profession like never before and it's a a pleasure to be a partner in this way. Thank you. Um and you mentioned Penner Center, they have been a tremendous partner. Um their assistant superintendent, Ryan Lee, he actually started the fire program at Penna many years ago. So, not only are they assisting us by allowing us to use their charter, but they're helping us, allowing us to go tour their facility, see what they do, they know what it's like to start a program. You know, they're able to make sure that we can get through all the growing pains faster than they did by doing that. And we got to go out and see the facility that Jen was talking about. It's pretty cool. They have a burn facility that
016the fire students burn it so that they can do live fire. construction kits come in and they're able to put it back together. So, it helps multiple programs um for the same cost, which is fantastic. Um so, these are just some of the highlights that we covered. Um fire behavior safety practices, um personal protective equipment, um fire suppression, search and rescue, physical fitness, EMT, patient assessment, trauma medical emergencies, airway management, ambulance operations, and scene management. So these are just some of the highlights. Um Dave Lincoln, who is going to be um our program teacher, very excited. He's been a big partner in this as well. He actually had a student come up to him saying he's very excited about this opportunity because it's going to prepare him for the fire academy. And Mr. Langod and
017say, "No, no, no. This is the fire academy. What you are going into is actually the real thing." So um they're going to get the full experience. And you know, Dave and I talked about, you know, we're going to treat them as such. You will be having um a orientation not just with the student, but with the parents, so everyone's aware and familiar for, you know, just how um how real this experience is going to be for the student. So, it's something we're excited about. It's going to be new. Um we had about 50 students sign up, which for a first year is incredible. And I think the more students hear about the opportunities coming with it, it's just going to grow more and more popular. Could I Yes, please. Um, the other unique thing
018about your program is your kids will actually be attending their classes at our working fire station. So, uh, that adds a different aspect to them to to see what that's like. But the other thing that it does is it gets them building a relationship with our current firefighters and working with them doing ride time with them. So even if at the time comes when they graduate we don't have a position available we will know these kids very well and we will prepare them to to go to other departments to interview and we could even be references for them. So our goal of this program isn't just to backfill our staffing. It's to make sure every one of these kids in this program gets a place in the area work and we appreciate that. That's a
019perfect segue into our last slide here is the cost breakdown. This would not be in consideration. We would not even be able to entertain this idea if it not for the Spinny Township Fire Department allowing us to use their facility. The amount that it would cost us to start this program from scratch without any equipment or resources, it just wouldn't be possible. It would take us a lot longer that we would be in the very infancy stages and we'd be looking many years from now. But being able to use our facility does take a lot of the strain off of us in terms of the equipment, the fire truck and a lot of the resources there. But there are some costs involved and I do want to share those that this is going to be
020something that is manageable. Um so the student cost what it's going to cost to the students is somewhere between $100 to $1,000. And the reason why there's a range there is this is a real program when it comes to um becoming a firefighter. A physical will be involved. It's not just a sports physical. It's a legitimate NFPA physical. So depending on students insurance that the families have, we'll go over this in orientation. You know, it might cover it, it might not, but it is an expensive physical that needs to be done in order to get through the program. Um the career tech cost, meaning what is it going to cost me out of my budget? We receive the Perkins funding every year. We receive about $130,000 every year that I can use towards equipment for
021any of the programs. And the goal is about $15,000 every 10 years will be used. Um, mainly for the gear is what it will be. Um, how much is one set of gear for a student? Uh, we actually put me on the spot on that. I'm sorry. Um, it's not cheap. It's not cheap and it's only good for how long? So, it's only good for 10 years. It's good for 10 years. It's good for 10 years. So, that's why we say every 10 years we're going to plan on replacing that. It's going to cost us about $15,000 every 10 years to do that. And it has to be sized appropriately to the individual. Yeah. Yeah. Um the what it's going to cost us to utilize Penna as a charter using their supplemental instructors and their
022director. It's going to cost about 13,500 a year, but that will be offset by the weighted funds. So I believe you all know we get weighted funding for every student in a career tech program. The amount that we receive depends on what program it is and fire EMT falls under what's called a level two. So we'll receive roughly $14,000 a year from this which will offset that cost that we do to kind of so what it's going to cost us out of pocket it we already have a plan in place for that and our hope is that we'll be able to work with other fire departments who as Jeff said are going to want to work with our students to hopefully start getting them to their facilities also. We're hoping to get some donations from
023them as well, which is what Penna has done and we are hoping to do the same. So, we're very excited for this. We have a plan in place. It's something we've been working on for years and kids are excited. You're excited. We're excited. It's just a great opportunity for our students. Um, I don't know if there's anything else anyone wants to add before we open it up to questions. Any questions for the board? I I don't have any questions, but I'm wildly impressed. like thank you all for your partnership. Like that's that's really unusual. It's very exciting. Thank you all very much. I'm super proud of us. Yeah. Snacks. That's great. I can see why you do it. So, just logistically, the students will um hop on a bus and go out to the fire
024station and take classes and um Yes, Jim. Okay. Yes. Hi, Jim. Yeah. So next year it's just going to be the juniors. We'll only have the juniors do it next year and the following year will be juniors and seniors. Okay. And yeah, just like they there's a bus that goes between North and South, there will also be a bus that will take them to the fire station as well. Are the are the students going to be required to do like a I don't think it's called this anymore, but the firefighter mile um pre-EST to be eligible or is just the exam the whole the physical exam physical? I I'll let elaborate on that, but we as public school, we have to educate the child. So, just like medtech and some other things, we will educate
025the students that are in this all the way through. If they fall short of something and they cannot do some of these things, doesn't mean that we won't educate them, but in order to get licensed, there are requirements. Yeah. And then NFPA physical is one of them. And then the other one in order to actually be employed by us, they have to pass our physical ability test. So this not going to keep them from being educated, but any anyone that doesn't meet those requirements, it could keep them from being employed. At at what point would a student who's who signed up learn if they are not able to pass the physical, like is it right when when the program starts or would it be in advance of that? Well, what we hope to do, and
026we do this some with some of our firefighters that are kind of on the border of passing the physical uh with us, is when you go to the fire academy and you go through this training, especially doing it over two years, our firefighters when we send them down to Ohio Academy, they go for 10 straight weeks. Um, over two years, we plan to introduce a physical component to them while they're doing their practicals and that type of thing. So, it'll give these kids an opportunity to build the muscles that they need to build and that type of stuff. So, um, we may offer the practice test for them so they know ahead of time, but it would it wouldn't be held against them. They also would know where they're at so that they know what
027to work on to improve. So, the goal would be to help them get through that field and pass it by the time they're done. Is that separate from the physical that they need to the physical that they need to enter into the program? Yeah. At what point did they do that physical? The physical to enter into the program. At what point do they do that? They do that before. at the beginning. They do that as well at the beginning. Yeah. Yeah. I can add to that. Does the the NFPA physical is basically to make sure that they're healthy enough to be able to endure the program. So if they find that someone might have a heart issue that wouldn't allow them to be able to physically demand that job or that that would have to
028come out and that medical physical from them, but they could still go through the program because maybe they want to be a dispatcher, maybe they want to be a trainer, they want to do something else, they just want to be able to. That's kind of one of the questions I had was, you know, 17 is kind of young and one of my, you know, students sometimes think they want something when they're 17 and don't when they're 24. What kind of programs um what kind of career can this build on? Let's say if a student changes their mind, are there other I mean obviously leadership role type things or what other careers would this build towards? Yeah. So any medical training would be beneficial. Nurses, it's very common for nurses to be crossed as EMTs and
029paramedics. It allows them to do flight um and critical care transport and that type of thing. Um anything medical, I mean the exposure that you'll get medical wise on our end will make a controlled environment and medical a lot easier. So uh they can certainly build on that, but I know you know like you said 17, they don't necessarily know. I personally entered in as an EMT right after high school and been in it ever since. So, um, some of them do know and the younger ones are better to get in because you can train them from the start before they get other bad habits. Well, they're young and healthy, right? Can you talk a little bit more about the the costs for getting, you know, obviously family's individual health insurance that that makes sense,
030but what are some of the other costs that be required? So, you know, $100, you know, that could include, you know, the student fees, the textbooks, and I think that the big part that the student would be responsible for would just be that MFPA physical, but the other cost is just like any other student fees for any of our other programs, uh, online program or what's that physical cost? That could cost up to $1,000. Does private does insurance typically cover what? Yeah, depending on what type of coverage the student gets. Yes. And if they don't have coverage and they think the student can't cover it, I mean, is that going to We've said for all of our pro that we we want students that are really wanting to go into a program if cost is
031an issue to have conversations with us and we can see what we can do. And no one's had to take us up on that yet, but we don't want that to be determined, but we'd have to wait and see. should that be the case. But talking with other schools that are doing this, um, yeah, they seem to find a way. We the members of our fire department belong to the International Association of Firefighters local and I've actually even spoken to them and they do have um some grant programs that they do through their own and um they've even talked about maybe offering up some money to assist some kids that might need some assistance to get into the program. But the other thing that we that we highlighted while we were going through this is
032it may seem like a pretty large investment for some parents to to do, but if their kids are really interested in joining this program, it could cost upwards to 10 to 12,000 after they leave high school. So if they truly are interested, yeah, I just wouldn't want to cross cost a you know, right? kid really wants to do it. They don't have insurance cover. So, we did not bring this up when students apply through the lottery. So, the students are and we talk to them there and then we'll bring that up to them at that time. What's what's the limiting factor on the number of students in the program because obviously you said it showed that we already have a surplus which is great. Yeah. Is there any opportunity to expand it or what's the
033limiting factor? So we um 24 is our cap and 24 comes from the instructor ratio from the state. So we would need another instructor for that. We will actually be providing Penna will actually offer up their own instructors but also have offered to have our employees join their staff so that when it becomes a hands-on day that Dave is teaching and he needs extra help in the classroom. Our guys can actually off duty come and assist on those guys and girls I'm sorry can come and assist in training in the classroom as well because what is that ratio that I do inside one to five one to five. So yeah, this time there will be four other people in there in addition to Dave. Thank you. Thank you. I want to see the guy in
034the ice. All right. Well, thank you. So, um, all right. Next on the agenda, we have a Monroe Street Bridge update by Joe. And thank you. Um, thank you to the board. Thank you, Dr. Thank you to Mr. Keller for allowing me the opportunity to come and speak today. Um, it's not often I get the chance to cross-pollinate with the school board, but usually if it is, it is because a bridge is allocated. I did this three years ago when Silicon Road Silicon Drive bridge was out by North View. So, same thing here. Um, obviously this one is a much bigger scale than those locally impacted schools, but here we go. Um, kind of walk through kind of what we've been through, where we're going to go, and what you're going to see this year.
035The best way that I can tell everybody to prepare is just to consume, try to find the information, and share it with others. Um, closing a bridge deck of 40,000 vehicles a day is not fun. It's the third largest, heaviest used bridge deck in Northwest Ohio outside the interstate system. So this is a monster to close but um but we are scheduled to do it. So how we got here um last year we did our first phase of construction which I think everybody has seen. I won't spend too much time on that but we were very wet early on. Uh if you remember April, May, and June were not a whole lot of fun for for contractors. Uh we've got a couple pieces of equipment underwater when we were putting in foundations for our southbound
036on-ramp. We had a coffer dam flood out a couple times. one of our sheep's foot rollers. Those are the big rollers that you use to compact large amounts of dirt in a time is half buried in mud. So, was off to a slow start last year, but our guys did really good. Miller Brothers did a fantastic job. We were able to open uh the new southbound on-ramp that opened in September. You're only getting to use about half of it. You're squeezed over at the time, but if there's anything that you can see in terms of a change is how much flatter that curve is. There's not that sharp curve anymore. That was a big focus of the project was to get rid of that. We've actually had fatalities on that before I was here, before
037a barrier wall got put up there. But, uh, good to get that flattened out. Good to get that straightened out. Um, these are the new off offramps for northbound. You're not on these right now. These are set and ready to go. We built a brand new bridge for the northbound off-ramp that again will reduce that flat curve. It's sitting there ready to go for about June this year when we can flip traffic over and get onto that. Um, and then leading up to this one here, we were able to actually get a fair amount of work done on the Monroe Street Bridge. It's really hard to see when you go past it. Um, but if you kind of look over the guard rail and down, all of the substructure work for our new bridge widening
038has been done. We've got peers in, we've got substructure in place. The beams have been set. So, our contractor did as much as they possibly could to reduce the amount of time that our bridge has to be out this season. So, we had actually a pretty good year despite um despite setbacks in spring. So, here's what to expect this year. So, these are going to be hard for you guys to see in the back, but I want to give you a couple of just kind of quick talking points. The big changes you're going to see are be up on Monroe Street this year. So, a ton of construction work up there. As you come from, we'll go from west to east to kind of give you a broad brush on what we're going to do.
039Um, there'll be a third lane as you go eastbound. So, if you're at Toledo Memorial Park or you're in Kroger, you'll have a full third lane that gets you all the way to the expressway. That third lane is is a dedicated slip frame. So when you get on southbound, it just pulls you right on through. The second thing is the bridge deck itself is going to be wider. It's adding one full lane of traffic as well as a 14 ft pedestrian path. That is a multi-use path that bikes and pedestrians can use. If you've ever walked that bridge now, it is not fun. Um there is zero width uh for people to move. So this will be a huge improvement. But as you go from Dave White and want to go southbound, there will be
040a second uh left turn lane for you to go southbound. If you have been through there at 7:00 a.m. in rush hour, one lane to go southbound just isn't enough. Traffic backs up uh everywhere. So now you'll have two lanes to do that. And then as we switch over to the Dave Whiteside, um three intersections are being reduced down to one. So we've got three signals. They don't work well with each other. But they did in the 1970s when you had half the amount of traffic. They do not work well with twice the amount of traffic. So we're reducing everything down to one. Going to have a signal at Glascow, a signal at Monroe and Alexis, and then those two should work really nice together and much widened intersection as well. So the date that
041everybody's been asking is when is the bridge going to close? It is March 8th. So um March 8th is our date. 150 days uh is a is a big number to talk about. Um 150 was bid by our contractor. So the way that this contract was set up, it has incentive and disincentive clauses in it. So if you think about it, if a contractor does better than 150 days, he gets money in his pocket um for every day that he finishes early. Um if he goes late, he gets money taken out of his wallet for disincentive. So, um, in incentive disincentive contracts for big projects like this, especially important critical infrastructure like this bridge is a great way to do it. So, that's why that 150 days is there. That's what the contractor bid. That's
042what he thinks it's going to need for him to get uh it open by that time or open earlier. So, uh, from Glasgow all the way through to Acres Road, that's going to be closed off. Okay. the uh northbound on-ramp as you go from westbound, this is right by Kushman Road. Um that's closed permanently. That that won't come back. So that closes right that first weekend as well. So that will be gone the first weekend you see too. Um pedestrians are big, right? We have a lot of people that come across the bridge and get to Kroger for their groceries and what have you. Um unfortunately their pedestrian detour is long, but we do have our Sylvania River Trail that has to be open. It's mandatory that it stays open while that bridge deck is
043closed. So that's the pedestrian path to get back and forth. Okay. So as we are on the west side, the contractor is going to flip around in phases. So they'll make they'll do the the south half of the road probably first. That goes March through July. They'll flip traffic over to the newly constructed side. They'll build the other side. So these are pretty similar construction techniques you see in northwest Ohio with split fl split phase construction. Again, March through July. This is our big one. This is March through July as well. This is this is the entire closure. You'll notice way over on the right side of the screen is Acres Road that stays open uh through all all the way through July. So, you can get to Dave White, you can get off at
044your existing exit ramp, you can go to Dave White, you can go east on Alexis, you can go east on Monroe. Okay. And then, um oh, everybody always kind of forgets about this piece, but Monroe Street is being resurfaced from Acres Road all the way to Nantucket Drive. So, this was added into the project. This mostly will be night work. You'll see some lane restrictions in place, but um if you've been through this pavement, it is in really rough shape, too. So, uh that's May through early June June. So, this is about 30 to 45 days of the project. Okay. Then once we get to mid July, um we can take Acres Road out. So, that will permanently go away between Monroe and Alexis. That's the far right portion of the screen. and then we
045can open up our new big intersection there. Bridge is still closed through about mid July and then we'll open it back up hopefully 150 days puts us in early August. Okay, so detours. Um people ask me a lot where are people going to go? This is going to be really hard for you guys to see in the back, but um if you want to get off uh let's say you're going north and you want to go west to get into downtown, uh you'll have detour signage that directs you up to Sterns Road where you can double back around and then get off on the west side of the interchange and then make your way to the east. Okay, so that's how that works. Same thing if you're going from downtown and you want to get
046over to Day Whitide, you're going to get on the expressway. you go down to actually Door Street is where they're going to have it um signed to. Central Avenue is not going to be posted that way because it has some difficulties with the way the current configuration is. So you'll go down to Door Street, jump through the roundabouts, and then come back north. That's your posted detour. So most trucks will be following that route. So locally, is there going to be a detour posted? The answer is no. I think when you have projects like this that disrupt 40,000 vehicles uh per day, it's a scatter effect. I think people go the first day and they're like, "That's not going to work. I'm gonna try something else." Right? So, there's going to be a lot of
047different techniques that people do. Probably 10 days into it, the the noise will settle a little bit. I think everybody will find their home and they think this is what works. But for here, for the for our community, you definitely will see increased traffic on Holland Sylvania, Sylvania Avenue, and Whiteford Road. Just to point out, because the township, Cory Road is actually not a county road. Um they have the ability to ticket trucks on Cory Road. So um they will be enforcing Cory Road that's not a detour route that people want to see used. Okay. And then last slide was just a look ahead. So after we get through the messiness of the ramps, the new the new bridge gets opened up. Uh everybody's always asking about trees. What are we going to do with
048that? We have an entire identification step that we'll take afterwards. It's going to make this interchange look like it should. A great welcoming entrance to Sylvania. It's going to have cool brick pavers and uh trees that line the the corridor as we go. So, that's coming. It's just not with this project. So, if you say, "Where did all the trees go? Why aren't they planted?" It's coming later down the road. So, that's kind of the the the two cent tour. There's a lot there. Um I'd be happy to answer any questions uh from board from the audience or anybody. Yeah. Do you know what team is covering the the agriculture that we're putting in afterwards? Um, so far we've just started the process with a landscape architect, a local one. Um, they're called the Edge
049Group. They've helped us with a lot of these kind of beautifification efforts. So, um, so far we've entertained them, but who's going to actually physically do the work? That'll probably be publicly bid. So, I don't know who that is. Do you know um if are you guys going to make an effort to Yeah, we have uh in our code we have what's um our approved street trees. We have a tree commission. So we have kind of all of those species defined already with kinds of what we want to use. There's a big variety that we can select from, but um they do their best to try to select negative stuff. not always the case, but they'll do their best and whatever is in our code to do. Joe, if I could thank you for sharing
050this information with our board and also I Mr. Walberg, I'm going to put you on the spot a little bit. I know you and Joe have been talking about the impact this may or may not have will have, we know will have on our transportation department, but I know that you've really been proactive with your efforts with routing and what that looks like. Do you want to share a little bit with what you and Joe have talked about and where you landed? I love Joe's word, scatter effect. So, so that's what we're going to do also. Um, how do you plan for 40,000 cars? It's impossible. So, we're not going to know how that looks until it actually happens. Um, so we've been working on some timings going up to Sterns and going to North
051from there going down to Sylvania from Whiteford to Sylvania and giving the loop around 90 minutes to go to door and back up. Um, uh, basically getting all of our options in order. Um, working, uh, with routing where typically we would route towards Alexis or Monroe. We're going to go to the Sennsylvania run. We'll route towards Sylvania. Um uh basically the first couple weeks we're going to see what happens and uh over spring break we're going to kind of um honing in on on on exactly where we're going to go and keep it stable. Um the good thing is if we have practice we have accidents in Sennsylvania. We have to detour a lot. Um we've staggered our routing uh from being short short of help during the lean days of bus driving um so
052that we have helpers were where it's sometimes needed. Uh I also hope that out loud that will be fully staffed by March. So, um, so like we'll have buses, uh, extra help hopefully to be, um, maybe by Arbor somewhere if we're running late. Rather than taking a half hour to send a bus there, we'll have a bus there waiting. So, so uh, doing everything we can to prepare, but um, ultimately we knew this was going to happen. So, so we've we've done some things to kind of keep buses on one side of the highway and the other side of the highway, but um ultimately we'll react to what the traffic gives us and ask for patience, patience, patience. Yes. because the whole community will be transitioning and we expect some delays obviously, but thank you
053for sharing because I know um as early as last summer knowing that this was on the horizon, Jim and his team started to think about what it would look like and as it gets closer, I know his palms are getting a little sweaty, but um imagine mine. Right. Exactly. Right. Uh but I I think the good thing is we are trying to be prepared and thank you for being so transparent and working with us. Um, again, we're going to ask for patience of our parents and even our staff because if we know and can anticipate there's going to be some delays with arrival and until everybody kind of finds out where they need to go. If we have to step over the border for a little bit and come back down, it's just what we
054need to do, but it's for a limited window of time, too. It's not forever and it'll be still worth it when it's all done, right? Yeah. And Dr. Molly, to your point, too, the whole decision point was predicated on a couple things. Number one, safety services assistant chief Ben and Chief Ny are here. We've talked about this 10 years ago on what to do with this bridge. Do you shut it down and do part with construction and gridlock for 18 months or do you, you know, fully shut it down, not not have anything and do this for 150 days? And the resounding answer with all of the safety services and our transportation was close it, rip the band-aid off, get it done, and do it. So, that's what we're doing. Um, but you know, patience
055is really the key, right? I mean, this is going to be tough. office is going to be ugly. There isn't anybody in the city who's going to sugarcoat this, but you're right. Once we get to there, then we're done, it's going to be it's going to be really great. So, so yeah, just ask for patience and be kind to the workers that are there. They're trying their best to get it done as fast as uh they can. Believe me, they don't like pumping horns as much as the rest of us do. So, thank you. I do have one. It's not necessarily gerine to the district, but um something you said made me curious. You talked about the walking path staying open. Um I mean it typically floods in the spring, right? It can. Yeah, for
056sure. It's just going to be open no matter what. It's going to be open as much as we can, right? So if it floods, I can't control mother nature. But that that is our pet path. So and usually in my experience here since we put that in, maybe a day or two at a time it's out and then usually recedes and we can open it up. But yeah, it it flooded, you know, twice or three times during our spring construction season. I'll really anticipate it may do it for for that period of time. Maybe if you would dare to yell in back. Are there any people who you use that for I mean I know people use it for a walking path and you know jogging and whatever but I mean just getting around there's
057not too many people that use right. It's it's out and around right. So I mean it's a little bit of an out and around detour but um that's the closest that you got if you got a bike. Right. So it's it's the best that you got for your summer months. Okay. Do we have students who we don't have students who walk from the other side of the highway, do we? No. Okay. Thanks, Joe. Appreciate you guys. Thank you very much. Thank you. All right, Dr. We are with you for accommodations. Yes. Um, it is my absolute privilege to um have a young man here tonight for our accommodation. Um, I know that the student's name is Mason Brown, and Mason is here. Uh, Mason is a South View 10th grader, um, who is actually being,
058uh, recognized tonight for receiving the American Legion Auxiliary Good Deed award. And with that, to tell you a little bit about the Good Deed award, and I believe we have a representative here tonight as well. Uh, we're going to come to you just shortly here. Um, a good deed award is a project that demonstrates leadership in community service by planning, organizing or executing a service project and the project must be initiated by the youth who's being nominated, which is um the student here, Mason. So, Mr. Feller, if you would join me as we give Mason his commendation certificate and the representative from the American Legion, you're also here. I don't know if you have a few words as well. I do. And Mason, what did he do? I was going to say I have more
059to say. Oh, that would be fantastic. Absolutely. Mason, congratulations on behalf of the board. Here is your certificate. Thank you. And then we'll turn it over to you, Melissa. Hi, my name is Melissa Boyers and I am the president of the American Legion Auxiliary Unit here in Sennsylvania, Ohio. Our auxiliary unit nominated Mason for this national award. Um, the Good Eat Award is a national award given by our American Legion Auxiliary. And um, so for those of you who don't know, Mason um, is a sophomore at Southw High School and he dressed as Kenny G and played his saxophone on Halloween um, as a reverse food drive for Sylvania Area Family Services. His Sylvania neighbors and the community dropped off over 500 cans of food and his family purchased items to add to the donation.
060Mason, his brother, and his mom used a U-Haul to drop off the food for those uh in our community that have food insecurities. The Sylvania Andrea Family Services were so grateful for Mason's kind giving heart and they said, I quote, "Thank you, Mason, for strengthening our community one family at a time." Thank you. I'd like to read the letter. Um, this came from our national uh children and youth chairman and our president um from the auxiliary. Dear Mason, the American Legion Auxiliary is proud to present this award to you. Thank you for your efforts for making a difference in your community. This award was created in 2002 by the National Children and Youth Committee, one of the American Legion Auxiliaries committees. This committee created the award to recognize young people like you who demonstrate a
061kind, caring act of selflessness. We use this presentation of these awards as an opportunity to show your deeds as an example for your friends, classmates, and family to do selfless acts in their everyday lives, too. The American Legion Auxiliary was founded on the principle of in the spirit of service not self for God, country, and veterans. Since 1919, our members have selflessly served our veterans, military families, and their communities. We thank you again for helping us serve our communities. So, we're going to pop out and take a quick photo and then we'll have a vote and reconvene our meeting. You would also like to drink my family since it was a family affair. But you let it win and everything. Did you really? Thank you. Thank you. Let's practice. Maplewood practice. What time? coach is
062coming. Now it's saying the IP address is unavailable. Fix it. Adam, but I will share with you. I don't really know how to work Chromebooks at all. I only know how to do like bare minimum. It just stopped. It was working. It's on the screen. Is it okay? It's just weird. It just stopped. Chromebooks are usually so reliable. Well, that gives us such a U-Haul. So with that um if I could reconvene our meeting I would like to recommend item 3.1 which is the recognition of achievement for Mason Brown for receiving the American Legion Auxiliaries good deed awards just congratulations and thank you Julie yes Tammy yes Kim yes Greg yes Dan yes thank All right. So now we are at our first opportunity for public participation for agenda items and I don't believe there
063are any. So Adam, we are with you for the financial forecast. All right. So um tonight I'm going to break down our forecast. Um seems like I was just here uh doing this. U so the law changed. Um, so in the future it's going to be August and February. So this year it was October and February uh based on the law just being changed uh in on July 1st. So um not not a lot has changed. Um so we're going to talk about revenue expenses and fund balances obviously. Uh but you know overall this fiscal year revenues changed by under $200,000 and expenses uh I forecasted about $400,000 increase. So from a $18 million budget, not a lot changes, but I I wanted to take the time to dive into a few of those changes
064tonight. um and and we can talk about uh the the forecast in general and how uh May could be uh impacted on that. So just again overview uh we're looking at um at the end of June uh having a fund balance of a little over 28 million um which is uh about the same 95 days uh in true days cash um in John you know in October when I when I forecast and presented to you guys it was 96 days. So, I mean, we're we're right there 95 96 days of true cash um there. And then so property taxes obviously 70% on the revenue side. Um between the state reimbursements and tax credits, which is your homestead rollbacks and and the state funding uh from foundation and the casino revenue, we're at about 27 26%
065there. salaries and benefits uh right at 85% just like uh just like it was in October. Um so we got unrestricted money um from the foundation this year. Uh we had we're going to see a reduction in funding about $460,000 uh and state share uh dropping down to 16%. I'll go into detail on that in the next slide. Uh but the way the funding formula works and it was passed in in July, we will see our unrestricted grant dollars go up by almost a million dollars in next fiscal year. But then if you flip over to the right side of the circle, um we're that money goes down. So, our net state aid um we're looking at a reduction of about 860,000 this year and then we'll get 630 of that back next year. Um
066so getting close to um the current levels that we had last year. Um but I've talked about this at length. We have a two-year budget obviously from the from the state of Ohio. not sure what funding is going to do in the in the next uh state budget. So what we forecasted in unrestricted and restricted dollars in FY27 I use that for 28 29 and 30 could go up could go down I don't know I think the I I think the conservative approach is just to level uh that funding off for for those three years. Now, the state of Ohio did um submit a um uh simulation for FY27 um and that's what spit out there with current enrollment, how the funding formula works is that additional 630,000 next year. So, that's what I used
067moving forward for basically 27 28 29 30 is those are those numbers. Homestead roll back pretty steady slight increases. We are seeing lower than uh normal growth in these items because less residents are qualifying for this exemption. So I want to dive into state share a little bit. uh a lot of information there, but um back in 21 um you know the first year of the or the last year before the funding formula uh went in place that we have now the PAR school funding formula we had about 64% local share, 34% state share. Now fast forward all the way to this year we're down to 16% state uh and 84 uh local. But you know going from 25 uh down to down to 27 next year we are going to be on the state
068minimum for this the the the lowest state share percentage uh that any school can have in the state of Ohio is 10%. So we are going to we are estimated to be at that uh floor. Um now in the white there and I I'll summarize that starting this year uh because of how our valuations you know kind of went up significantly uh we all know that um we are now on what they call a transitional aid guarantee. So that guarantee is in law and it really helps us and it protects us. So the formula uh the fair school funding formula puts all the inputs in puts all the revenue you know the median income the the assessed value throughout this throughout our um sub school district and it says you should get x right well
069the formula spits out that dollar and it's actually less than we're actually on the guarantee for about $2.3 million. So if that guarantee wasn't there, we would get $2.3 million less. So we should continue to advocate now for that guarantee because it goes back to 2020 and says basically says, "Hey, we will not give you less money than you did in 2020." Um, now a lot of the reason why we're here is because we're still getting funded in the the base cost that is a large part of the funding formula is based on FY22. So 4 years ago, it's what things cost back then. Right now, fast forward to next year. Even though we're getting, you know, 630 of our 860 back, uh, we will be further on the guarantee by almost $6.3 million. Now,
070I did I ran some numbers on, okay, so let's look at what if what if we got a thousand more students next year. We actually wouldn't get a significant increase in funding for the state of Ohio because of the guarantee. So in a sense next year we would have to get over it's probably closer to 1,200 students to get actually get funded on students the way that it's designed for. Um so the guarantee it truly does help us um and and we would need a lot more students to get off that guarantee. Now, we would see additional dollars like on gym side of things because if we got,00 more kids, we'd get more transportation funding. We would get more special ed funding, you know, those types of, you know, kind of below the line, you
071know, funding formula. Uh, but it it's it's a real number in the sense of now it works the opposite too. So, if we lost,00 kids, we would be protected based on that guarantee. Any questions about about that? It's kind of a new new topic here. We've never been on the guarantee uh in in several years. Probably back in the day we were before the fair school funding formula, but uh that is something new this this fiscal year. And this is just uh what I've been saying in terms of uh the real numbers when I talk about the state share uh going from you know mid20s down to 10. Uh you'll see in in FY24 um so it was last budget um they actually pumped uh significant dollars into into public education and we did see
072uh a significant increase in our funding in FY24. Um and that was the first year that they increased the base cost to 22. So if they would have increased the base cost to say 24 kind when a fair school funding formula came around it was 2020 base cost updated 4 years later to 22 and then um so in current fiscal year 26 is what we are on we are in they stayed at the 22 levels. Um so that that shows the the dollar figures there the loss in total of about 8 $60,000. Uh property taxes um pretty similar to what uh we expected to receive this year. We're starting to get some advances uh for for this year. Uh late February, uh early March, we'll get our final settlement report to see how many delinquents
073we have and things like that to see how how close we get to our number. uh but later on in the forecast so FY28 2930 uh we will see some impact on some uh property tax reform legislation that was passed. House Bill 335 uh limits uh potential revenue growth from our inside mill. So if you guys remember for the last about 18 months we've been talking about property tax revenue and and valuation changes. The only part of our uh property taxes that can grow with inflation and with increase in property values is that 5 mills. So they limited the growth of that to uh basically inflation. So when they go through reappraisal years and update years, uh so our next one they actually changed it's in 2028 now. So when Lucas County goes through their
074reappraisal, if the assessed value went up by say 30% again, we will be limited to the average of the of the inflation over that 3 or 6 year period. So we will not see as much growth in our revenue collections uh in about in 28 to 30 because of that. So I did decrease our forecasted revenue in those years. That's because that house bill 335. Y that's really the only that impacted us because all of our levies are continuing. You know we don't you know those those this one was impact. Um other revenue you know there there's just our sources there. forecasted revenue will continue to decline in this line item generally because our as our fund balances go down. We'll have less money to invest and we'll get less interest revenue. So, and rates
075are are projected to go down as well um as further rate cuts uh happen. So, uh that's in a nutshell. Here's the revenue. So, we're looking at less than a half a percent increase on average over the next 5 years. Um and that is primarily due to uh that other other operating revenue and um flatline uh unrestricted stricter grants and aid. So even this past fiscal year 2025 we had a little over 104 million. This year I mean I I think we're only going to get an increase of about you know 120,000 there. So not a lot of growth at all from from FY 25 to 26. And as you can see, it only grows to about 106 million. Um, so this does assume no levy. Um, this is just, you know, what we have
076on our books in current taxes and our project projections from the state of Ohio. Uh, I showed this slide uh in October. just kind of shows our revenue per student uh comparison with uh similar districts that we are aligned with throughout the state and uh Lucas County schools and included uh Rosford, Bowlinger and Parisburg as well. So we do get um significantly less per student uh than the state average and uh through districts uh our leg size and and um similar to us in terms of valuation. So are those numbers state funding per or total revenue? It's total revenue. So it includes federal, state, local. It does not include debt or PI. Why why is that? I mean, I look at a school like Mentor that's almost just like us in terms of size and
077why is ours so much lower? It two things that it could be could be um their local tax structure. They could have more effective mills than us so they collect uh more. I don't know that but that would be in terms of state revenue. Um I would assume that the a mentor would be similar to us um in terms of that. Okay. They could have a local. So that's that could be local money not just state money. So their taxes would just be higher than ours. Yeah. Does the um Harrisburg number take into account the recent levy that they passed? uh this was probably not because that just collect started collecting this fiscal year. So this was this is the cup report that is kind of a famous uh report that OD you know department
078of uh workforce and development puts out every year and it just got released uh about a month ago. So Parisburg's number is probably higher now. Yeah. Um salaries and benefits uh not a lot's changed. We have negotiated agreements till July 1. We still are unsure of the number of retirements that we have going into next fiscal year. We're currently going through staffing as well. There may be some staff reductions that we can happen that can happen for attrition based on our student enrollment. Uh so that's kind of up in the air. We I did not factor in a lot of those changes because I don't know what they are, right? Um so coming back in in the spring and and early summer, we'll be able to project that and really see where we are uh
079in terms of our staffing levels. Um health insurance were good until uh calendar year 26. Uh forecasted expenses, I did uh factor a little bit um higher increases there um because our our claims continue to be higher than than our premiums there. Um so we have uh built in a little bit higher than normal there but we have been able to renew vision, dental and life at a zero or a decrease. Uh so that has helped our uh general fund balance there. Purchase services we are experiencing a little bit higher than normal growth uh in terms of purchase services. Um and a lot of that is uh special ed related. Uh we're seeing about a 6% increase this year. uh and we projected about 3% moving forward. Utilities continue to to rise. Um and then
080you know our special ed related uh services have uh been up have we've seen an uptick there as well. Supplies we were able to decrease this line item. I'm sure our principles uh are are not pleased with that but we have reduced uh the building budgets uh every year since I've been here. Um, so we have been trying to do do all we can with less in in this line item. We're going to hopefully be able to see about a 4% decrease in fiscal year 26. Uh, and then did a conservative three-year uh increase moving forward. But again, maintenance, custodial supplies, um, and our curriculum purchase drive a lot of this, uh, line item capital outlay, very small number. our debts going to be paid off uh at the in in fiscal year 29. Uh
081so this was a House Bill 264 project that you guys did uh back in 2014. Uh last year we just refinanced it to save uh a few dollars there, but that will be paid off uh by the end of this uh forecast. Uh transfer just our normal transfer to our severance fund. Uh 900,000 throughout the entire forecast. I kept our capital projects uh line item there. We did forecast or we did transfer some money there uh to to reserve money for future capital projects, vehicles, buses, uh things that we need to operate. Uh we've spent a lot of money on parking lots and roofs and and buses and maintenance vehicles, and this uh really allows us to monitor those expenses and manage the our general fund budget in a in a better way. Um, so
082this kind of ties in with our revenue per pupil. This is our operating expenditures per pupil. Same report, same schools. Uh, so, uh, we were at the low end on the revenue and we're also on the low end of expenditures. So, we're doing all we can with the dollars that we do have here here at Sennsylvania. uh and the 15 number $15,000 per pup people is slightly higher than our revenue per people pup people which would make sense because we're opposite operating in a deficit in our general fund but um you know the I think if you're looking at this and we're at the very top and our revenue was at the very bottom we'd have a bigger issue right but we receive low in in revenue and we spend low compared to our peers
083as well so um I think overall it it provides good value uh with all the programs that we do have for our kids and all the opportunities that we're able to give them on our budget expense side of things. Uh we're, you know, this is a summary of all the line items that I just went into detail. We're looking at about a 5% average annual increase from 2025 last fiscal year to 2030. Uh so obviously growing at over 2% higher than uh our revenue growth. And then this is just a summary uh pretty much exactly what uh I I shared with you guys in in October. Uh 95 9 and 66 down to 27 true days cash. um in fiscal year 29 and 30 it's a little bit lower fund balance there uh because of
084that uh the less property tax revenue that I forecasted based on house so that's just graphically share showing our imbalance of our revenue growth compared to our expense growth and then um I shared this in the fall when we decided to put the property tax levy on the ballot. Um so this is graphically showing that additional revenue uh from the 7.9 mills that we are asking our voters to decide on in May. Um and we'll get half of that in fiscal year 27 because collect that will be the first year. So we're you collect property taxes on a count calendar year basis. We're on a fiscal year basis. So we'll get half in 27 full collections in 28. Um so that that 2030 based on the previous forecast that was a positive number. Now it's
085a very very very small negative number in terms of the $124 million budget. So, um, nothing's changed, uh, too much in terms of what the dollars, uh, represent for our potential levy, um, passage in May. Why Why is the net income negative in fiscal year 30 and 31? Is that because of reduced state it with the levy passing? Why are we going because our revenues still grow at a smaller pace? Okay, that makes sense. So that but then we're okay. Yeah. So we're in fund balance at that point. Okay. But it still gives us, you know, in in 2030 well over the 90 days, right? Again, that's three budgets, you know, two budgets from two state budgets from now. Sure. This is the best knowledge that you know that we have looked at today. I
086think that goes back to Ethan. when we do receive additional revenue down the road, we still have to be extremely extremely fiscally responsible to to push that down the road to avoid those red numbers in parentheses as long as possible. And that that's something we don't want to do as a district is to get on this four to 5 year cycle where we continue to have back public. Adam and I, you know, continuous conversations about that as well, you know, numerous policies. That's important. So, I just I threw this up because we'll put this presentation on our website. Just wanted to kind of give you a snapshot of, you know, of our our student population. Um, you know, preK through 12, little over 7,600. Um, and then those percentages of economically disadvantaged, gifted students, students
087with disabilities, and students uh with a little bit of English there. Um, I'm I I use a lot of the data on the right in a in a popular annual financial report that that we publish every year for our website. Uh, but you know, I'm always amazed at just how many breakfastes we serve, how many lunches we serve. I mean, Jim and his crew are are driving almost 750,000 miles. Um, you know, um or 750,000.
