You know, running a levy is not easy. It's never easy, but it's a necessary thing. And and we learned a lot. And as we all know, one passed and and one did not. And that's that's just the harsh reality of what happened.
002But uh we the board team sitting here in front of you, we wanted to publicly say thank you to the committee for all of their hard work, everything they did to all the people who came forward and helped and gave of their time and their talent and their treasure to uh pull this forward. We really really do appreciate it. And again, we just wanted to say that publicly and out loud so everybody knows how we feel. And uh so that said uh let's move on to the business at hand for tonight. Again, welcome to the uh November uh townage board meeting. And uh here we go. Um as usual, we start with the pledge of allegiance. So if you would stand and join me, take your hats off if you have them. And there's the
003flag. 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. >> Thank you. May be seated. Next up, roll call. Mr. Hostler, who who is here tonight? >> Mr. Davis, >> here. >> Mrs. Ross, >> here. >> Mr. Lowry here. >> Mr. Perelli >> here. >> Mr. Fair. >> I am here. Uh again, welcome to the visitors. Uh we have a few in the uh audience tonight. And uh uh at the end of business, uh if you would all have an interest in saying something or questions, we happy to address it or entertain you. Um and if not, we'll we'll go home. But uh just to let you know that that will be available
004at the end of the meeting. Uh next up, approval of the prior meeting uh minutes uh from previous board. It is recommended that the board of education approved the minutes from the October 15, 2025 board meeting. And uh I would need a motion and a second. >> I'll make a motion. >> I'll second it. >> Um any discussion, questions, corrections? Seeing none, uh Mr. Hostettler, I ask for a vote. >> Mrs. Ross. >> Hi, >> Mr. Perelli. >> Hi, >> Mr. Davis. >> Hi, >> Mr. Lowry. >> Hi, >> Mr. Frist. >> I >> uh second section recommend recommendations for the board of education. We have none right now. Uh as we'll move on, recommendations of the treasurer. Uh financial reports. It is recommended that the board approve the financial reports for the months of
005September and October 2025. uh per the attachments that are with the uh agenda here. And I would need a motion and a second. >> I motion. >> I'll second. >> Any questions, any clarifications or discussion on anything? >> No, this this brings us up to date u through October. Uh things are progressing as we anticipated they would. So just move on with November. >> Okay, easy enough. No questions. I would ask for a vote. Mr. Hoster. >> Mr. Davis. >> Hi. >> Mr. Lowry. >> Hi. >> Mrs. Ross. >> I. >> Mr. Professor. >> Hi. >> Mr. Fra. >> I. Uh. Let's keep moving on. recommendations of the superintendent. Um, it is recommended that the board approve the attached uh memorandum of understanding uh with the service employees international union local one that theou align
006the hiring requirements for pair of professionals to be consistent with the Ohio Revised Code. Uh the present contract includes requirements uh that exceed state requirements. uh these additional requirements have uh prevented recruitment of some strong candidates here in the past uh for prayer for for pair professional roles and again the attachment is there I've seen it uh I would ask for a motion and a second >> I'll make a motion >> I'll second >> any questions about the information comments anything Mr. Yeah, you know, you know, first of all, our pair of professionals play a critical role every day for our kids experience and do an amazing job for us. And um likewise, we've had some great candidates come through in front of us, but um because of some additional testing requirements that exceed the
007state requirement, um they weren't able to meet some of those um testing requirements. Some people just aren't good at taking tests. doesn't mean they're not great with kids. So, um so we we have uh very thankful to SEIU for sitting down down with us to consider this change and um uh you know think this will kind of open the door to some really great candidates that that have not qualified for the position in the past. >> Good. Uh Mr. Hosteller, >> Mr. Perilli. >> Hi, >> Mrs. Ross. >> Hi, >> Mr. Davis. >> Hi, >> Mr. Lowry. >> Hi, >> Mr. Ferst. >> Hi. >> Next up, we are talking about a new varsity sport, girls flag football. Uh, it is recommended that the board approve girls flag football as a varsity sport at Townage
008High School beginning uh in the spring 2026. Uh, the startup costs of this program are largely funded by the Cleveland Browns. And uh attached with the agenda tonight uh is uh information explaining about the entire program. And uh I would need a motion in a second. >> I'll motion. >> I'll second. >> And any discussion? I see we have Mr. Johnson here. >> Yeah. Uh we started a conversation about this last month. The board had some great questions about the program, how it works, how it fits into our overall athletics program. So, I think it's a great chance for Billy to talk about this program, but also talk broader about the awesome athletic program we have here at Townwich High School. >> Yeah. So, thank you all for allowing me to come in and present
009this. Uh, as we were um in the fall at our athletic director meeting uh in the Suburban League, we were presented this information from um a representative from the Cleveland Browns. So, um, this has been a program, as you'll see, for the last 5 years. Um, but it is rapidly growing. Um, it is supported by the Cleveland Browns and USA football. Um, as I said, it's rapidly growing, but what's changed this year is that the OSAA has now sanctioned it. Um, and there will actually be an OSAA state championship for this. Um, you know, and obviously as as as all of our sports do, um, we're just looking for, uh, ways that it's going to continue to build teamwork and leadership and confidence in all of our student athletes here. Uh, as I said with
010the growth, um, you can see as it started in 2021. Um, there were six schools. It was kind of like launched and it was a pilot in 2022 and the Browns and the Bengals really really got behind it in 2024 and 25. And you can see the expansion. Um and they're expected to be well over 100 schools um this year. Um so far already half the suburban league schools have committed to that. Four Metro schools have committed to that and those include Nordonia and Highland. Uh Barberan, Ka Falls, Kent Roosevelt, uh Streetsboro, Norton. Um they are all going to be fielding teams this year as well. Uh some of the season timelines that you'll see. Uh so there's they they do a coaches uh clinic for our coaches that we have. Um they do that
011at Cross Country Mortgage campus which is up Cleveland Browns campus. Um they'll have a season kickoff on February uh 15th which is really really cool how they described it to us in the sense that they do a jersey reveal for all the girls. They come up into the Cleveland Browns stadium. They're in the locker room. They do all that stuff and they have a jersey reveal for them. Um as they are providing all of that all of that gear. Um the season runs, you know, from February, you know, 23rd through May 16th, which is pretty much on par um with a spring with all of our spring sports. Um baseball, softball starts February 20thish. So um they've been really smart and intentional with the way they've scheduled this. Um in the sense that they do
012it on Fridays and Sundays. Um it kind of avoids a lot of the softball track girls if if you know you're trying to overlap um those two sports. Um, so they're they've they were really smart in that way. You can see they're running their their Browns championship and the state championship. Both happen before the track playoffs start. Um, and they've been working with high school athletic directors here in Ohio to make sure that that's something that they uh make sure happens so that they're not overlapping because they know they're going to be sharing athletes. So, um, we're excited about that part of it because we know that a lot of our athletes are excited and be able to do multiple sports. Just how the season works. Um, USA football rules are five on five. Uh,
013they are talking about possibly going to a seven on seven format just because of the interest has been so high. They started five on five because um, they were worried about numbers uh, and uh, getting the numbers on a team to create that, but the numbers have been so good that there is talk about going to a seven on seven format. Uh, they play 10 regular season games. Um, the Browns organization does all the scheduling. So, it's not like an inner league schedule. It's it's basically they regionalize the schedule to try to minimize the travel. Uh for instance, Nordonia um has has been in the league for two years. Uh they host games. They host 12 teams on a Sunday. There's four games going on at one time because it's the width of the field.
014Um you can play four games on on the 100yard field. So um and then switch teams and it's able to get a lot of games in in a short amount of time. It's one day. It minimizes your travel. Um, so they they they really have tried to be really cognizant of of all of those things that go into trying to make this sport successful. Uh, as far as the budget impact, so at our meeting, you know, one of the things that we asked as ads and I think it's important that you guys know is, you know, obviously the Browns and the Bengals are very much behind this, but our question to them was, how long are you going to be behind it? because obviously once they stop backing it then that burden falls onto us,
015right? So, um she said this girls flag football is in the Cleveland Browns core values. Like that is one of the things that they really think is important that they get girls involved in football and get them involved in flag football. Um and that this thing is something that they really truly believe in and she is she is confident that it's not going anywhere anytime soon. Um do things change? Sure. Um, but I really felt good about the way she was talking about it and how the Browns feel about it and I know the Bengals feel the same way. Um, they provide uh uniforms up to 25. We're allowed to have 25 on a team. Uh, balls, flags, um, uh, pylons. They provide cones. Uh, they they bring the coaches cool uh, clinic in and
016and a kickoff. They've also already sent like books and stuff on rules. Um, and obviously there I don't even know all the ins and outs of the special experiences yet, but um, that came in our flyer, you know, of camps and they got all American games and there's Brown ticket opportunity. So I I know that they've really backed it and they're really excited about it. Uh, which makes us excited about it as well. Um, our district cost. Um, so we are not going to be a host site this year. I wanted to not for a year to see what it all entails. So, we will not have any uh cost when it comes to hosting um with you know getting a work or getting an athletic trainer that will not uh come to us. So,
017our only district cost would be our head coach uh stipen uh which would be a category three and it would only be a head coach. Um if we had assistant coaches, they allow you to have two, but they would both be volunteers. So, that would be our cost to the district. >> About $4,000. Um, and then just wanted to kind of go over Steve and I were talking a little bit about, you know, the benefits and kind of did a little research and, you know, I just feel like it just kind of fits our portfol portfolio perfectly. If you look at our sports, we have 11 boys sports and we technically have 12 girls sports right now, but that 12th one was added two years ago when OSA added girls wrestling, but over the three
018years, we've only had two or three girls. So, that sport hasn't had a lot of growth in it yet. Um but if you look at overall uh over our last three years we've averaged about 309 boys that play sports throughout the year and about 246 girls. So you know you add these 25 girls here uh as part of this spring sport. I feel like it helps bridge that gap of of creating another opportunity for our for our ladies in the school. Um, if you guys have ever come to our Powderpuff game, uh, you know, the environment there, the excitement there, I I just feel like, you know, this is going to be a huge community, you know, event where people are going to enjoy it. They're going to come watch these games. I mean, as
019soon as it kind of got out there, I didn't spread the word, but somebody did that it got out there. I had girls in my office like two days later, hey, we hear the Browns are doing this. Hey, are we going to do this? You know, they So, we have a lot of excitement in the building for it already. Um, obviously anytime we can create positive exposure um during these times and anytime I think it's important and I know that this will do that for us. Um, I was talking to Mr. Manion. We feel like we got some pretty good athletes that can come out and do some good things. So, uh, we're super excited about that. Um, and obviously we think it can build a, you know, a new tradition for us. So, I
020appreciate again the time and willing to answer any questions you might have. You answered my only question, >> Billy. Thank Billy, thank you very much. Appreciate you. And um yeah, I I uh I think it's a great opportunity for our school. I've heard the excitement already, especially some of our teachers and staff that saw our girls at the Powerball, they're like, "Oh my gosh, we we have it shot at states pretty quick. We're set we're setting expectations too high." I know there's great there's great athletes at all their all of our neighboring schools, but uh definitely um definitely a lot of excitement about it and I I think with the Browns support mitigating the startup cost which pretty extensive what the Browns are willing to invest and us taking advantage of that. Uh I think
021it's a great opportunity for our kids that we should take advantage of. >> Question travel costs. We'll have to cover that. >> We will have to cover the travel costs. But again to to Mr. Johnson's point, the way they're clustering the games together, you know, it won't really be that many weekends, you know, so um it's it's good good news. >> Anything else? Good. Well, we we have to vote for this, so we have to make this real >> and so I would ask for a vote. Mr. >> Mr. Ross, >> I >> Mr. Davis, >> I. >> Mr. Lowry, >> I >> Mr. Perelli, >> I >> Mr. F. >> Hi. We we now have uh girls flag football. >> Here we go. All right. Uh moving on then. We have uh personnel items
022to talk about here a little bit tonight. And I'm going to ask uh we take my consensus uh the personnel items. I think it's one 5.1 through 5.7 is one motion. Um allowing Mr. Wood to cherry pick out an item or two if you want to talk about. And uh if that's okay, I would ask for a motion and a second. >> So moved that we adopt 5.1 to 5.7 together. >> I'll second it. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Any any comments? >> Uh you know, pretty straightforward. I guess Mr. Man, you can mention talk a little bit about pair of professionals. Uh thanks for Jeff for recruiting. This is like an outstanding group. Uh filling in some some blanks that we have especially at the elementary school. Yeah, just a a a few hirings.
023We've been pretty busy in terms of getting getting our openings kind of solidified. Um Becky is going to be joining us at the middle school and has already started and been doing a great job for us. Heather Gold at the elementary um and actually starting tomorrow. Sunny Marchetti uh who's also going to be uh contributing his time to the high school wrestling program uh will be starting at the elementary. So we continue to see a lot of kids with a lot of needs. Um and so these individuals will help support those those students in the academic setting. So we're excited to have them and you know can't say enough about the work that they do. >> Great. Thank thank you Mr. Manion. And I I would say too um just just want the board to
024be aware we don't have any additional uh hire hires for supporting special ed tonight. But this is the time of year as we we we're into the school year now. evaluations have been completed on students and we're starting to see an uptick of students with IEPs. So, and oftent times as a result of that, we start to uh push up against ratios for um intervention specialists for those special needs students. So, we're seeing some pressure. I'll just put it that way. At this point, we're Mr. Zean's been working hard at the building to try to make sure we um staff it accordingly and distribute the the students and make sure our students are getting an outstanding experience. Um I just want to give the board kind of a heads up. We're we're pushing up against
025some numbers and and it's raising some concerns for us. Okay, Mr. Zean, I don't know if there's anything you'd like to add to that. >> Okay. Uh and then the the I I just want to point out the very last item is a little unique. I don't think the board's seen that uh in a in a long time. Uh basically an error was made when we originally hired uh our school psyches. We did not give them the appropriate credit. All all school psyches go through what's called an internship year. So internship oftentimes it sounds like no big deal, but the reality is an internship for a school psych is a big deal. So, they're essentially working full-time in a district, getting a salary, earning STRS credit, and serving kids. And um the, you know, the
026standard within the state, and we checked across all of our neighboring districts after this issue was raised to us, is to give them credit for that internship year. So, it's something we should have done um and we did not. So, uh, what we're asking the board to do tonight is correct that and and this will result in an adjustment for two staff members who did not get appropriate credit when we hired them. Those are the highlights from personnel. Any questions, concerns? Mr. Lowry? >> So, the glass substitutes what I have in front of me is >> Yeah, I'm I should have mentioned that we have that as a placeholder on the agenda. I apologize. Every, you know, some oftentimes we have and we just didn't have any rehired this month. So, thank you. We should
027have taken that off. >> Okay. >> Uh well, if we're all done then, um I would ask for a vote. Mr. House. >> Mr. Davis. >> I Mr. Paselli. >> Hi. >> Mrs. Ross. >> Hi, >> Mr. Lowry. >> Hi. >> Mr. First >> I uh that completes personnel and uh moving over to central office report. Uh this is the good stuff as I understand. Do we have any good stuff to talk about? >> There's all kinds of good stuff to talk about. I I'll start uh really where you started at the meeting, Mr. Ferris, and just on behalf of the administration team, you you know, we supports our schools and we're just thankful to the community for approving the renewal. Um certainly we're we're um you know faced with the challenge of um since
028the second levy, the new levy didn't pass, but we are thankful uh to our community. We've heard some great feedback already. In fact, the board will be going into a work session immediately following this meeting to talk a little bit more about strategies and what we do next as a district. Also, uh want to congratulate Mr. Lowry and Mrs. Ross for their reelection. Um and and and also Miss Pilates is here tonight, too. So, our newest board member. Uh we're excited um for for the board. So, as you guys know, I think there'll be a swearing in ceremony on December 19th for um for the new board members and then you'll you'll officially take your seats in in January at our organizational meeting, which I think right now we've got pencileled in for January 4th
029or 5th. I forget the exact date, but we'll um we'll confirm that at next month's board meeting. So, other good stuff. I I I'll let Mr. Manion talk about uh some some demolation. He's been demo man this month. So, uh he can talk a little bit about that. Mr. Manion. >> Yeah. So, um you know, we talked a little bit about the bleachers last month. Um, we had a company, uh, Glenn Butcher and his crew came out, uh, and did a fantastic job for the for the amount of money that that we invested in that project to get those down and get that facility safe. Uh, they did a great job for us. Um, so it creates a whole new horizon for us at the middle school to look out and not see the back
030of those bleachers. Um, you've also probably noticed a couple of support polls over at the baseball field. Um those support polls will hopefully by the end of this week support a brand new uh scoreboard for the baseball field. Um in addition to that, our maintenance teams have been kind of ending one season and beginning to prepare for the next and this has been incredibly challenging for them as they, you know, turn their trucks over to plows and at the same time they're still trying to mow in the middle of all that because our weather is so crazy right now. Um, so they've just been doing a lot of extra work making sure that our facilities are taken care of. Um, but yeah, lots of lots of good work and and progress in terms of making
031our facilities what they what they should be. >> Yeah, it's a great job. And that that the bleachers, I think it's important to point out we had we had originally got some quotes that was going to cost somewhere between 50 and $100,000 to get those bleachers done. It was less than $14,000. So just thrilled with um and it was a ton of work. I would tell you it was a lot of work taking those down. So we're um and and really well it was it wasn't the money savings as much they had become a safety issue as the board talked about last month. So we're very thankful to get that done and thanks Jeff for uh making that happen. Um other good stuff in the district. So uh PBIS so it's very very important part
032of what we do here positive behavior intervention and systems or something along those lines. Suborts um but it's a big deal. It's a big deal for Townage and how we help kids succeed um especially around behavior and emphasizing a positive behavior approach. So um this month the Townage High School and Townage Middle School was recognized as bronze award recipients by the state of Ohio and Townage Elementary School was recognized as a silver medal. So really really great work um by uh the teams at at the high school really and and Kim Husting especially at Townage Middle School and um Nicole Koyan at Townage Elementary School. So um that's really really great news and and that I I will tell you PBIS it's not just about classrooms not just about teachers it's lunchroom people are are
033trained on PBIS bus bus garage you know it's it's a district-wide initiative so uh thankful for the great work that's happening um also wanted to congratulate um our performers and clue it was a great great show I hope uh everybody got a chance to see that we saw that last weekend. Um it was uh you know really really a lot of fun and appreciate uh the hard work our directors put into it, all the volunteers and of course the kids and the effort they put. So we're we're um we're excited to find out what the what the spring musical will be. I don't think it's been announced yet. Mr. Manion, it hasn't. Right. >> I I think it has to misspe. So >> Okay. All right. Well, I >> build suspense. Thank you. >> Thank
034you. And then athletics. It seems like every month we're talking about awesome things in athletics. And once again this month we talk about our cross country team and their performance at state. We had uh two uh female all-state performers, Ally Haye and Michaela Martusio. And then Donovan Noah was all state uh for for boys. And uh Alli's a senior, but the other two are underassman. So uh looking for for more great stuff from those programs as a whole, not just those kids. We'll have, you know, more kids coming up next year. So thankful to our coaches for just another awesome season. Um and then before we move to our work session, I Roy, maybe you could mention a little bit about the new system that's in place for IEPs. You talked about it a little
035bit last month. We we basically did the implementation this month. >> Yeah, we did. Yeah. >> Uh so we talked a little bit, I think last month. Um a lot of um uh most districts in the state are now migrating to a a a new system for how we write IEPs and ETRs. So our our system for writing those and storing that information. Um so we're now using same goal. Um we were using special services refresh as part of the progress book suite. And you know Kurt has spoken I think many times about progress book. still have that uh that system for our grade book and student information system and so on but we have um switched over to same goal. Um it's a process we've given we we got the training uh 13th of
036October. We have until Christmas break to to do all that migration um start the implementation, move over all the documentation um before uh special services gets kind of shut off. Um we'll be able to see it, but we can't edit or work in it after after winter break. Um so it's been a good process. Uh we've been doing training on that. um administrators, support staff, uh special ed teachers. Uh we're going to be working with the gened teachers, but part of that is um and Kurt's way better at this than me, but uh Kurt's working with Mini Orange, which is um he can explain that a little better than I can, but same goal is within Mini Orange. It's kind of a one login, one password system that eventually progress book and and uh our
037Google drives and everything are in mini orange. So, it's kind of a one login system and kind of like if you go into OID for the state and it has all the apps in there, it's like a one login and then you have access to all the apps and you can choose your apps. Um the same kind of thing applies. It's kind of like that with mini orange. Um so um it allows a district um for kind of a multi-step uh verification system. So it's more security for the district. Um it's also just I think a quicker process for staff so they don't have multiple loginins. It's one login to get into that. So um it's been really useful. The the beauty of same goal is also that in addition to ETRs and IEPs, so
038the special education process, uh we're able to do our 504 plans in there. Uh both of those have started immediately. Like I said, we've started that process now. Um over the course of this current school year with a full implementation for 2627, we will also be implementing um reading improvement monitoring plans. So, you've heard Courtney talk about the rimps. Um, we have those in separate documentation now. That will all be available in same goal. Our MTSS process that we we talk frequently about to you, all of our intervention and documentation will be in there. And all of our EL service plans, progress reports around EL students will all be in there. Um, so it's a safer system. It's a more efficient system for us and it allows us to store a lot of intervention and
039supports for students uh in one system. So, we're really excited about it. It also has a translation feature which allows us to convert um documentation to quite a variety of languages. There's there's there's quite a few languages I think all the ones and we've grown in terms of our languages in this district. Um but it allows for that as an option too for families. So, um, nice features. So, we're excited about that. >> Great question, Roy. It's off to a great start. So, thank you. >> Um, and then, yeah, we're just, we're just thankful. You know, it's that time of year to be thankful and lots of good activities going on here at the district over the next few days. Uh, Lauren and Tammy will do their annual uh Thanksgiving dinner with our our kids
040in in uh their classroom on Friday, and then we have the Thanksgiving dinner uh next week here at the high school. So, um, great things happen in the buildings. Um, so that's that's where we are. >> Thank you. Appreciate it. Any questions? Anything? >> Good. >> How many languages do you think it'll do? And how many do we have? >> Oh, that's a great that's a great question. Um, offhand, I can't remember, but there's there's quite a few. Um, I also don't have off the top of my head our languages. Our our main ones are Nepali, uh, Arabic, Spanish. Um, we have a number of Eastern European languages, Serbian. Um, there's quite a few. We even have Farsy, uh, M. Um, yeah, quite a few. Okay. >> So, >> just curious if you had a
041number. Thank you. >> Yeah. Yeah, I can get that information if you want the detail. >> Very good. Great. Uh so you're all set. Good news is up to date. And uh old business, new business, communications. Uh uh next thing up here is to because we have people in the audience. If there's anybody who would like to address the board, if not, yes, we have. Please stand up. You know the rules of engagement. Uh tell us who you are and what's going on. >> John, vice president. I think I'm gonna just start with the kind of dollar which is most people know to be but um I'm gonna plead for the board and for the admin to please protect college teachers. Um during the whole levy there was a huge amount of negative criticism about
042the teachers of college on media like X and Twitter Facebook where many people expressed that they were not happy with the teachers that how dare we ask for any money. They will never pass the levy of teachers and teachers. Who cares? And it really hurt the teachers of college. Thank goodness we have a strong PTA. We have strong parents that do support us. But it really does hurt when the general public throw out these nasty comments that if they pass the levies that they better not get racist. But people forget too as teachers, we also pay pay property taxes. We pay We pay the increased gas prices and somehow people think that we're the enemy and we're the bad guys. It hurt a lot of teachers, you know, morally because it's not an easy profession,
043especially nowadays. So, I just ask please protect teachers. That's my on a good note, college teachers association received a big award at the um local RA conference and as of last year, Thomas Teachers Association is ranked a fivestar union and this is because we attend certain meetings, we write grants that um we have our uh general membership participate in many things including a children's fund because yes, we protect ourselves too, but it always goes back to what's best for kids. our job as teachers is to fill that role as well to protect them and through these particular funds um you know we're able to get many things accomplished.
