001All right, good afternoon everyone or good evening I guess. Uh welcome to tonight's meeting. Uh before we begin with the agenda, I'd like to make an announcement that will come out of executive session um talking about the annual safety report and personnel. All right, that being said, Jen, we bring us to the pledge of allegiance. over here. >> No, that's theirs. >> 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, Jen, for the pledge. Next is LOL. Diane Canat >> here. >> Dan Chub >> here. >> Brian Davis >> here. >> Jen Goldhan here.

Thank you. >> Dr. Brad Sterner >> here. >> Dr. Shannon Myers >> here. >> Justin Pier >> here. >> And Ty >> here. >> All right. Thank you everyone. And Dr. Wales. Hi, thank you for being here tonight. Right, we don't have any visitors, but anybody listening out there, thank you. >> Thank you, Jen. Moving on to next agenda item, which is public comment. Do you need public comment tonight? >> Does not look like it. Moving on to the next agenda item which is discussion which gonna bring us to the uh 202627 budget presentation. Okay. All right. Um so we finally made it. We're here in June. Um so we've started this journey uh as
003a board back in January and we like I said we it's like a building block. Um so we laid the foundation and just kept building on top of it. So um culmination is tonight is when you get to the agenda item on voting on the final budget. Um my goal has been to provide you with as much information as you need. Um and I hope I've done that throughout all the different uh presentations that we've had. Um but uh if there's any questions as we go through like always, please don't hesitate to ask. Okay. So, we'll go ahead and get started here. Um, this is just uh for your information as we uh look historically as what the act one index uh the adjusted act one index has been all the way back from the
004implementation of act one which was 06 07 the whole way through current. Um so as you can see uh it's been five well this depending upon your the previous four years uh we have not gone up to the act one index so that's from 2122 through 2526 um and then prior to that you can see all that information I'm not going to read it to you but I think that's just information uh for for you to um to consider Um you've seen this uh slide many times. Um but it is obviously always an area of concern u that we continue to talk about uh related to the cyber charter expenses. Um and that number uh on that far right hand column as you can see for this year the estimated amount is coming close to
005$2.3 million. Um and you know we have very limited uh ability to um change that. Uh we're we're trying to do some things uh definitely coming here in the near future to try to to control that and even bring that number down. Um but minimally hold that number steady, not continue to increase. Uh because as you can see that's a huge huge dollar amount. Um but we've talked a lot about that over since January. Um so this is just a recap. This is exactly where uh you approved the preliminary budget in May. Okay. So again this is at the actin index which is 4.7% this year. Um so our total expenditures are just shy of $41 million. Okay. Um just to highlight here um same summary of revenues and then the next slide is going
006to be expenses. That's what exactly what you saw in May uh at the preliminary. Uh but the our local sources are definitely leading the pack as far as how much is being funded from local sources. So you got to take the fund balance as well as the local revenue. So we're just shy of 60%. Um states roughly 39 and a half and federal is a measly 1%. Okay. Uh again here's the expenditures looking at um the uh total again this is what you saw in May. Um, but just to highlight our the majority of our expenses are the people who work here, our benefits, our salaries and benefits. So, it's just shy of 65%. Okay? And that's traditionally what it's been. Um, but what makes Bermudian Springs is the people that work here. So, um,
007you would expect this to be the case. Um, so the board gave me the direction to bring uh three separate options to the final budget and that's what you see here. So the highlighted box is what the preliminary budget was approved at in May. That's the 4.7. So as you can see that's the um usage of roughly $2.1 million fund balance if you would and that that's option A. Okay, option B is the 3.525 and that increases the fund balance usage to 2.3 million. And then option C is the 2.35% increase which increases the fund balance usage to just under 2.5 million. Okay. Um and then the you've seen this slide uh since January. Um the only thing that I've done is I've taken off option D and E at the direction of the board
008from May. Uh but as you can see the most that you can generate at the act one index which is option A is that $725,000 figure and then any other decision you make you can see how much revenue is lost. So if you go to option B you're losing $181,000. Option C you lose 362,000. Okay? And then there's the corresponding monthly tax increase for your average property owner in those municipalities. Okay. So again, this is the fund balance summary. Um same three options. I think you get the idea of what what we're talking about here. But as you can see um the ending fund balance at the end of and it's obviously estimated because obviously as we know a lot can change throughout the year. Uh but your your highest fund balance amount is with
009option A at the end of this current the current budget year we're working on which is 3.8 and then B is 3.6 and C is just shy of 3.5. Okay. And then this this sum this slide summarizes um what I've typically done in three separate slides. Um but as you can see this is looking at the projections. Okay. Um, and as I've said all along throughout since January, once you get out to the third year, there's a lot of estimations and I I don't put a lot of um energy to focus on those because a lot of things can change based on state funding and just everything else that we do. Um, but obviously year one and two um is something to to consider definitely year one. Um but as you can see year one
010the only based on the current estimates um the only option that that leaves you any fund balance is option A. Okay that's the green column bar right that $283,000 uh is what leaves you any savings uh with the current estimates. Okay. And then you can see option B you would be starting in the whole 83,000 and then option C you're starting in the whole just shy of a half a million. Okay. Um, so you know, as far as all the information that we've gone over throughout all since January, um, which I know has been a lot, but I again I I view that as my role to provide you as much information for you to make a educated decision for this very important decision you're going to be making. I'll just remind everyone that it
011is two separate votes just as it was in May for the preliminary. Okay. So the first option or the first vote you will do okay is to approve the expenditures and revenue totals. Okay. Now in order to get the revenue totals you must vote for the millage rate with that option as well. Okay. So you can't vote one way and the first vote in one option and vote. You can't say yes to the expenditures and revenues of one option and then say no to the millage rate. They go hand in hand. So you have to say yes to both. Okay? Is that everyone understand that? Okay. Um because we've had that challenge um throughout the years. So I just want to make sure everyone understands that. Okay. So with that um I'll open it up
012for any final questions or discussions that you may have. Um, but hopefully I've I've given you all the information that you need. Any questions from the board members at this time? Again, this will come back up later on the agenda for discussion again. So, all right. Thank you, Jess. Sure. All right. Moving on to the next agenda item uh which is number seven is the approval of minutes. So this is going to be for the May meeting, a regular meeting. >> Motion to approve. >> Second. >> All right, we have a first and second.

Let's say I hear a nay or

General fund, cafeteria fund, and scholarship fund. Uh letter B is the general fund. C is the cafeteria fund. D is the capital reserve fund and E is the scholarship fund. >> Motion to approve A3. >> Second. We have first and second for financial reports A through E. Is there any further discussion? All right. No further discussion. This is a roll call vote. All those intent to record in favor of the motion. Must I hear a nay or abstain? Motion carries. Next is reports and related action. First up is solicitor's report. >> No report. >> All right. Thank you very much. Next is the superintendent's report. All right, good
014evening everybody. Happy June. It's like summer's here finally. I wanted to just let you know how we were able to end our year this year um with Dr. Myers and myself and our faculty and staff. We had our annual end of the year celebration. Last year we changed it up a lot um from what we did in previous years. This year we definitely changed it up a little bit more. Uh we had quite a bit of retirees this year um due to our early retirement incentive if you recall. So we wanted to do something different for them. In the past they were recognized by their principal would stand up say a couple nice words you know about them and and uh give them a gift uh for their retirement. So this year what we did
015is we call them the retirement class of 2026 and we had them come down in the front of the auditorium and with the help of Jess Smith which is one of our instructional specialists. Phenomenal. We were able to put together a video for every single retiree that had voiceovers from all their students. some currently, some from the past. Um, looking at a first grade teacher that had a 20some speak about her um in her video. We had pictures um from some of them that their first year of teaching um up until their 33rd year of teaching and each of those individuals had that video. So, they all had their individual videos that we watched in the auditorium. But before that, um, when they went into work that morning, which they were not expecting, they were
016greeted with a gift at their desk, um, where they where they sit, um, whether it's in the classroom or an office. And when they opened it, it was a memory book of all their years of service. Um, there was quotes in there from people that they've worked with currently in the past that have retired. There's pictures from students. There's quotes from students. And on the very front cover of the book, I'll have to send you pictures. on the very front cover of the book was a watercolor painting of the building that they retired from. Um so whether it was the elementary, middle or high school. What I can say there is not a dry eye in the house. Um it was a very emotional and celebratory event. So that was one thing that we did
017that was very different. Um we had great positive feedback from that. Um we got some cards about it. We got some phone calls, some visits um about how moving it was um for them to feel so appreciated and retiring. as we all know that that is a is a very emotional time in your life. We also celebrated years of service um throughout the school year which was very exciting. Um and we did some kind of game things and just ended on a very positive note for a year that we worked extremely hard at. There was a lot of change this year from September all the way till the end in June and our teachers and our staff rose to the occasion and our administration. So I couldn't have asked for a better way to end
018the school year. um looking forward to next year. But we ended our theme, just to remind you again, was um new beginning, stronger foundations was our theme throughout the year. And it was all throughout the year. Everything we did, we brought that back. Um what Dr. Myers and I did in the beginning of the year is we, if you remember, we gave each uh employee a succulent plant. And the reason why we did that is if any of you are plant lovers, succulents are very temperamental in growing. Some it's super easy, some require a lot of attention. So that was representing our students. Um and not knowing what kind of student you're going to get every year when you open up your doors, whether you're a teacher, you're a staff member, um it it doesn't
019matter. So throughout the year, um at the halfway point, we did a proof of life game where teachers or staff members had to take pictures of their plants from where they were. We really should have showed it to them. Um maybe in July, um where they were in the beginning of the year to where they were at the midpoint. It was hilarious. We gave away awards for those plants and then we did the same thing Dr. Myers asked for it again at the end of the year and it was it was hilarious. I mean to the point of getting pictures of just dirt >> um >> pictures generated for GPT try to >> or thriving >> massive plants which were it was just crazy. They took a lot of pride in it. Um so it
020was a great way to end the year. Um thank you all for your support throughout this year. if you wouldn't have um demonstrated your support, we wouldn't have had such a successful year. Um we definitely did some new things and you know that as a board we did some new things. We tried some new um options out there that we haven't tried in the past and I just am thrilled with what the results are. I can't believe that we just ended, but I am really looking forward to the 2627 school year. So again, thank you so much for your support um and getting us through this year and let's get started on next year. That concludes my report. Great. >> Thank you. And next is assistant superintendent report. >> I just wanted to take this
021time to share that believe it or not um next year we are wrapping up our final year of our current comprehensive plan. Um and so for those of you that are new, the comprehensive plan is essentially um kind of the vision and the the goals that we've set as a district over a three-year time period. It's a requirement. Um, and so that that plan is beginning. Um, and we need to get a steering committee together for that. And that will be a steering committee that'll probably meet um a couple of different times throughout the school year. That plan needs to be posted by February. Um, so the work will really happen between just say July and February so that we can get it posted for 30 days for feedback and then needs to be submitted
022to the state by March. Um, so it's not a huge commitment, but it's an additional commitment. Um, Jen is currently on the steering committee, but one of our former former board members um was our additional member who represented um for that particular committee. So, we will need an additional uh member that can either be decided tonight or um at July's meeting or August, whenever the next meeting is. >> So, yeah, we'll look at that for unless somebody wants to raise their hand right now. If not, we'll talk about it next meeting. No one's putting their hand up. So, >> it's really fun. >> Uh, no, it really is a great, it's an opportunity to look at our mission, our vision, and really talk about the stakeholder groups and set the course for um the next
023three years, for the 27 to 2030 school years. Um, >> how often does it meet? >> It it just depends on how much it takes. Okay. And I will say that the the three goals that we have in our current plan were pretty lofty and they're still very relevant. Um so it may just be some tweaking or it may be brand new goals. It really depends on the the voices of the stakeholder the group and kind of the feedback that uh we get from that. So typically I wouldn't say it's more once a month sounds like a lot. I don't know that it would necessarily be once a month. I'd say four to five times between now and February. >> Okay. That's all I have. >> That's it. All right. Thank you very much. Moving
024on to number 10, old business, which we have none. Let's turn this to the next agenda item, which is new business. And we will start with personnel, which is letter A. And we have what? We have few here. So, we'll just go down the list. We'll start with um one which is resations. We have A through E. >> Move to approve one A through E. >> Second. >> All right. We have a first and a second for uh letter one A through E which is resinations for the following employees. Any further discussion? All right. No further discussion. This is a roll call vote. All those in attendance record in favor of the motion unless they hear a nay or abstain. Motion carries. Uh, real quick, I just do a quick pause. Um, I know that
025we're gonna have a meeting next month, so I'm going to um probably hold my comments and say things for yourself because I know you're it'll be your last meeting. Uh, but I do want to turn it over to um Dr. Stern real quick and I think he's going to turn over to you. >> I'm not this. >> Just don't don't look at me with that. Don't Don't look at me. We've been down this road before. Nope. So, before we conclude this evening, I would like to take a moment to recognize and thank Dr. Shannon Meyers for her extraordinary service to the Bermudian Springs School District. Tonight, the board will be accepting, you already did. I thought we had a plan. That didn't work out. Um, Dr. Meyer's resignation as assistant superintendent. While we are excited
026for the opportunities that lie ahead for her, this is certainly a bittersweet moment for the district. Over the past 14 years, Shannon has served Bermudian Springs in a variety of roles, including reading specialist, elementary principal, middle school principal, assistant superintendent, and most notably, acting superintendent during a critical period of our transition for our school district. Throughout each of these positions, she has consistently demonstrated an unwavering commitment to our student, staff, families, and community. Shannon's leadership has helped shape the educational experiences of countless students and has contributed significantly to the success and growth of our district. She has been a steady presence through periods of change, a trusted colleague, a thoughtful leader, and a passionate advocate for children. Her dedication to continuous improvement, professionalism, and willingness to serve whenever needed have left a lasting impact on
027Bermudeian Springs. On a personal note, I want to thank Shannon for the support she has provided during my first year as superintendent. Her knowledge of the district, her willingness to share her perspective, and her commitment to ensuring a smooth leadership transition have been invaluable. She has been an outstanding partner and teammate. More importantly, she's my friend. I have appreciated her honesty, her counsel, and her unwavering commitment to doing what is best for students. I am grateful for the opportunity to have worked alongside her to have built a friendship that I know will continue long after the time at Bermudian Springs. While Shannon's next chapter will take her beyond Bermudian Springs, her 14 years of service and dedication have left a legacy that will continue to influence our district for years to come. She is a
028true eagle in every sense of the word. Her commitment to our students, her service to this community, and her willingness to lead during both celebrations and challenges embody what it means to be part of Bermudeian Springs. The contributions she has made are woven into the fabric of our district and the positive impact she has made on students, staff, families, and community will not be forgotten. On behalf of the board of school directors, our faculty and staff, our students, and our community, I would like to thank Dr. Myers for her years of dedicated service and wish her nothing but success, happiness, and fulfillment in the future. So, now I can't talk. >> Well, that's something new. >> Michael wants to get through this without any tears and I've done really well. Um, well, thank you. I
029was not expecting that. Um, and now I don't feel at all prepared. Um, and I haven't had a lot of time to really think through what I wanted to say, but at the end of the day, I think what's most important to me is just to say thank you. Um, I know that not all of you have been at the table for the 14 years that I've been here. Um, but I can tell you that I there's not a day that has gone by that I haven't felt supported, appreciated, or trusted. And that means so much to me. Um, I know that I am the leader that I am today because of this community, because of the faculty and staff, because of our administrators, and because of this guy, and because of all of you.
030Um, so while this decision was really, really difficult for me, um, I am excited about what's next, but I want you to know that I'm fully committed to making sure that this transition is as seamless as possible. um and that you find the right person to support this guy and the sky across the table because um while this district means so much to me, these two have been an incredible rock for me. Um and it's it is so so important to me that they have um the support that they need to continue to get this district where it needs to go. So, thank you. I wish everyone the best of luck. Um, I won't be here in the capacity, but I promise you I won't be a stranger. I will for sure be cheering all
031of you on um on the sidelines. Good luck. >> Thank you. Move on to number two. The administration is requesting approval for the employment of the following professional employees.
