001Good evening. I would like to call this June 23rd, 2025 Sennsylvania Board of Education meeting to order. Adam, can you call the role? Miss Hoffman here. Mrs. Conklin here. Mr. Feller here. Mr. Bowden here. And Mrs. Lavallet is absent. Thank you. Please join us in the pledge of allegiance. Right here. I pledge 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. Okay, thank you. Welcome a full house on this really balmy day. Uh we are with you Dr. Molly. Thank you Miss Hoffman. Good evening everyone. Um, for my superintend attendance report this evening, I'm going to keep it rather short. We're kind of in a time of the school year where it's summertime and although
002we have a number of students and adults that contribute to Sylvania schools that we will recognize this evening, we're kind of in a lull in regards to any new initiatives or making any new announcements. I think most of all what's on the minds of many educators, not just here in Pennsylvania, but across the state is really we're waiting to hear about the financial outlook um that may have an impact in Columbus. Well, we know more than May. It will. It just depends on what it looks like. So, we hope to find out more information, I believe, Mr. Ko, this week. Yeah, by the end of the week, we should we should know more. we should know more and then we will move forward based on what we learn and of course keeping the best interest
003of our students in uh the forefront of our minds. So outside of that no news is good news right now it's kind of quiet many of us are working toward the new year already I started on my uh opening day presentation I asked Mr. Xer off to reach out to our band directors so we can get started. So, we're already thinking about August and it's just June. It's good stuff. And that concludes my superintendent report. Thank you. Now, we're still with you for recognition of achievement. We are. And this is our most favorite portion of the agenda during a board meeting, a regular board meeting. We have a number of individuals that are here with us tonight for board recognition, which is something our board takes so proudly to recognize not only students but employees,
004colleagues, uh, volunteers, community members and their contribution not only to our district or perhaps they've earned a special award in the local, state or national level. So, uh, before I recognize everyone on the agenda, I'm going to give some instructions. Some of you may have been here before. Uh we are actually going to make our way down to the podium. Miss Huffman and I, we are going to uh call the names of those individuals who have earned accommodation. And at that point, we will also take pictures in front of the uh sign up there. So parents, if you want your photo ops, you can get your cameras ready, parents, grandparents, neighbors, whoever you brought with you to celebrate. And then at the end, we will do a motion for accommodations. Does that sound good? Sounds
005great. All right, so we're going to make our way down. We have a stack. I like it. I know. It's a good thing, right? So before I begin, I would like you to know that I worked very hard on practicing names today. Um so forgive me if I mispronounce. I really tried hard. We have phonetic spelling. I do not mean any disrespect. Um but just know that I've done my best and if I say it wrong, please do not hesitate to correct me because because that's the only way I'll learn and I can only do better when I know better. Okay. So, we are going to begin first with recognition of achievement. Um, first for some folks that are not here, um, each month we typically recognize students that have earned scores higher than 600
006at both uh, North View and South View, higher than 600 on the SAT, and we have several students that scored higher than a 26 on the ACT. So those individuals are also being acknowledged tonight and accommodated by the board. But first, we would like to recognize Mr. Scott Carver and Cameron Bernath who are being recognized tonight for their heroic and life-saving actions. On March 16th, yes, 2024, well over a year ago, during the boys lacrosse game, um these two gentlemen were there when the lacrosse team was actually playing Walsh Jesuit High School when an official passed out on the field, literally collapsed on the field. And these two individuals um they swiftly jumped in and they went into action stabilizing the official and monitoring his vital signs until an emergency medical services arrived. They saved
007a life, these two gentlemen. So, um Scott Carver Cameron, are you here this evening? There you are. Come on up. Thank you for saving a life. We have a little photo Saturday That's an amazing story. Also, similarly, we have Miss Peggy Marian. Peggy, are you here this evening? There you are. Come on down, Peggy. She is being commended by our board of education for her extra extraordinary heroism. On March 21st, 2025, during a lunch period at Maplewood Elementary School, we had a third grade student who began choking, and Peggy rushed to the student's side. Remaining calm under pressure, she performed the himlick maneuver, ultimately again saving the students life. Her quick thinking, compassion, and bravery was exemplified through true heroism. Peggy, words, don't say it. Thank you for saving the life of that child so
008he will continue to have a future. Thank you so very much. Thank you. Next, we're moving on to Joshua Adamek, who is a state qualifier in track and in the field. Track and field and shot put.

They were in St. Louis. I don't even know. Did you guys just get back Thursday? Okay.
011Um, but I'm so proud because I've shared this story before. When I came to Sylvania and did an interview, I talked about esports and people were kind of not familiar with it. And then we had a student who came from North View who said, you know, I really want to do esports. Have you heard about it? And he did a whole presentation. And I'm talking in 20, it was the 2020 2021 school year. It's COVID. We're masked up. And the board said, "Let's check into this." And it was the board's commitment to the vision to allow me to go down a path that I was kind of excited about and allowed us to pursue esports in Sennsylvania schools. Our first year doing it, I think, would have been 2122. And here we are now with
012national champs, and I want to make sure I get this right. It's national champs for our Super Smash esports team as well as our Overwatch 2 team. and they are all here. I'm going to call you up by name and coach. You need to join them. But this is huge to be able to go to not only nationals but to elevate to a national level here with esports. Google it, do research. It is a career that is just amazing. Children can it can be quite lucrative is the word. Thank you. Absolutely. the young man that came to spoke to us three years ago. He graduated I think two years ago. He got a full ride for esports. So if you're not aware, educate yourselves. Know it's about a career opportunity for your child. But who

I'm proud to share a little bit about Bailey who is here with us tonight in the audience. Uh Bailey, thank you for coming. We um are thrilled that you will be joining our team. A little bit of background. Uh Bailey is currently working at Swanton Middle School and Swanton Elementary School. Yes. Simultaneously at the same time. It
021is a K8 building I do believe in and Swanton. So she has an array of experience from little ones that don't know quite how to line up at the beginning of school to those that are in eighth grade and think they know everything but will do anything for a sticker and a piece of candy, which is quite the continuum. Um before that position uh she also served as an acting administrator in Toledo public schools. Um she has been part of the attendance team in TPS as well. And I think something that's really critical for everyone to know um she is the vice president for a nonprofit that many of you from the area will probably recognize, Justice for Sierra. And she's been involved with this platform for how many years now? Since we started 2016.
0222016. Thank you for your work with that and what it will bring to Savani schools. Hopefully, we can do our part to leverage that voice in our community and help take uh justice for Sierra a little further, but I commend you commend you on your work with that as well. I know it's something close to your heart and passionate. And so, she looks familiar. She did say she has been on TV for that particular piece, but she her hair was a little lighter. So if you want to go back and see it, it's there. Um she does have a variety of teaching experience as well. She has served as a kindergarten teacher, a third grade teacher. Um she's led on a number of committees from building leadership team, PBIS, data teams. She just brings a
023wealth of experience and we believe she is the perfect fit for Silven Elementary. And so congratulations Bailey. Welcome to the team. Thank you so much. I'm really excited to be part of Sylvania. I've only heard amazing things about the elementary. So ready to get started. Fantastic. Happy to have you. Welcome aboard. Adam, Julie, yes. Greg, yes. Kim, yes. Dan, yes. Thank you.
