Tonight, I'd like to have uh we have a presentation from someone we all know and does an excellent job. Uh Evan Evan, program director for the 21st century. Always comes in smiling. Hi everyone. Thank you um for having me. It feels like just yesterday that we were up here in September talking about after school programs. Um, so before I get into about summer and what we have, I just want to go over some quick highlights from
004the afterchool program this year. Uh, first and foremost, we had our 21st century audit, which is called the monitoring visit um from PTE in February. I'm proud to set share with you all that we passed all 72 compliance areas um for the grant. So, we're in good standings with PTE and the federal government. Um, some highlights for Snider Gerard. Over the course of the year, we've serviced 216 students in daily services. This can include math uh homework help, tutoring, and other academic enrichment activities. We also provided uh parent enrichment programs as well. At the Bristol Barrow High School, we have serviced a whopping 357 students across various programs. Um the these programs include or but not limited to uh study hall, teacher-led programs, study study hub, which is our our afterchool program, tutoring, and credit
005recovery. Speaking about credit recovery, since summer of 2024, students in 7th through 12th grade have recovered 122 courses. This is a huge success for academic programming. Um, in close, I I believe that the afterchool program continues to provide a strong academic support and meaningful meaningful engagement opportunities for students here in Bristol Vera School District. So, hopping right into summer camp. Um, not a lot has changed as far as programming goes. So, we're still going to be running the 21st Century Summer Stream Camp. Um, this isn't funded full or in part by 21st Century Community Learning Centers, Bristol Barrow School District, the Bristol Barrow Council Academic Oversight Committee, and one of our new partners, the Bucks County Opioid Settlement Funds. These are additional funds that we've received through Ivans House to help support some of the
006funds and programs that we do. So, summer stream camp at Snider Gerardi, uh, it's a referral-based program, uh, for students rising first through sixth grade. We have a maximum capacity of 100 to 120 students. As of today, we have 104 already registered. These are referred students from grade level teachers uh that need some extra academic uh support. We also provide programming here for St. Mark students fifth through 8th grade and that will be a capacity of 20 to 30 students. Our camp schedule is June 26th to August 1st. Um, and no program on July 3rd for the 4th of July. We run Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30. We are a free and uh a free meal site. Breakfast and lunch is um provided from 8 to 9:00 a.m. and then lunch is
007provided from 12 to 12:30. This is provided by the arch dascese of Philadelphia. Um, when I say a free open meal site, you don't you do not have to be a part of 21st century to have a meal provided to you. You have to be under the age of 18. So, if there's for some reason a parent didn't sign their student up or they were not referred into the program, but still are needed in of food, they can come straight to the cafeteria doors at at that time frame and receive a free meal. Our daily schedule um is broken down by grade level. So, first through third grade, they will go to academics first and then go to recreation. So, they'll be in academics from 9:00 to 10:15 and then they'll go to recreation from
00810:30 to 11:45 and then it's a vice versa for 4th through 8th grade. And when I talk about seventh and eighth grade, that is St. Mark students. The high school has their own program. Some camp activities. Um, as usual, we're going to be running the summer academics where we'll have exper um experienced count camp counselors in the classroom working on summer reading projects, math journals, ELA work. Students will be grouped by their grade level. So, first grade with first grade, second grade with second grade. And within those classrooms, we will have certified and contracted teachers um to help support the classroom instruction and small group tutoring. Recreation. Um we're going to have experienced coaches. Students cho will have the choice between performing arts where they can be learning singing, dancing, acting, and music theory and
009also have a visual visual visual arts program provided to them. This year we'll be doing the musical play Annie. Um and then the other students that have chose athletics, they will be doing various sports inside and outside. Some enrichment activities and potential field trips that we have planned for summer here at Snyder Gardy. We have uh community partners like Penn Community Bank, Bristol Barrow Police Department, Cops and Kids, NAMI and SEAL program, MAD Science, Franklin Institute, um track and field training with John Mundy, village arts. We have a field day and a staff and student games. And then of course we have that performance arts play. For field trips, we're going to go to Tyler State Park again this year, um where they will work with uh driftwater adventures where the students will learn about
010water safety. Uh they will go kaying, fishing, hiking, and then students will have a special lunch provided to them on that day. And then we're going to be doing a walking trip to Grundy Library for first through third grade where they can get library cards, learn about the services that the library has to offer here in your community. At Bristol High School, we're still in the planning phase. Um, so we are just getting getting to it. Um, but Bristol High School, it's going to be rising 7th through 12th grade. It will run June 30th to July 31st, Monday through Thursday, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. No camp on the the 3. We'll have credit recovery running for 7th through 12th grade, June 23rd to 31st. Some potential high school clubs and trips that we're
011going to provide is garden club, weightlifting, drama program, summer recreation, service learning, open gym, Tyler State Park trips, and local gardens. And that is our summer. If I you guys have any questions or concerns, just one question I have. Can you just go over the registration process? Yeah. You know, so I don't know. you hand that stuff out and here parents, but maybe some people at home could watch the meeting. So, we'll we'll talk about Snider Gerardi first. Um because there's a high demand, it is academic referral. So, the the student has to be referred in by the teacher to get a referral to the summer camp. Um for the high school, it is open enrollment. Those flyers have been disseminated and they're posted on the communication page as well as the 21st century Facebook
012page. Um, and that is open enrollment for anybody rising 7th through 12th grade. Thank you. Thank you, Ev. Evan, um, this is we have this grant for five years, correct? Five years. So, and we're in year three. Yes, we're in year three. We're about to start year four in Octo October 1st um, of 2025. This is a a very good program and I know a lot of parents appreciate this and we want to say how much we appreciate you for running this program and as I look through here you're you're doing some things that are are very important in my opinion like water safety. we live along the river here, you know, that that is important and and you know with the uh police officers then of course you have to have some fun things
013but I think what is great too is that you know combining and going to the theater because our music program is growing here. So I think that's another good thing. All the things that you do are are very good and we're very fortunate to have you. Thank you. And we do appreciate everything. We do appreciate you coming here. There's a lot of towns and a lot of communities that don't have this and I think the people of Bristol are very fortunate that, you know, we got this grant and hopefully, you know, it could continue, but it's out of our hands. Yeah. But if they see how it's run, and that's a hat off to you and your crew and everybody that works out there, maybe they say it works. Let's let's keep it. Yeah. So,
014let us know if there's anything you need for us to do in the future. Absolutely. Thank you. And that that's the great thing about the the visit with PTE. We did such a good job. So hopefully this can sustain uh some more funding for us in as Mr. Polyco said and which was an excellent point is that people want or we start to get calls as the registration process. So we could always if we have to we could put that online. I mean that's very important too that they understand the process. Thank you. I have I want to say something. I mean you run a great program. We have a great team, but I think more needs to be said about you though individually because you come in to work early. You communicate with everybody.
015You're walking around in the classrooms. You have a good relationship with the kids and it goes so far and and you could tell that, you know, they they really they're attracted to the programs and you from your leadership. So, you know, I really commend you like you're you're a great teammate. So, thank you. I really appreciate that. Um, I couldn't do it without everybody else that works in the district as well as far as admin, teachers, and things like that. So, I do appreciate the the com uh the commendations to to myself in particular, but without the support of the whole district, it would be impossible. So, thank you. Thank you. So, thank you, Evans. It's so when this year summer's up, you have two more year summers left. So, when do you have to
016reapply? So, it just depends on funding. So the what what happens is the federal government will release funds to the state and then individual districts or nonprofits will go to the states and apply for it. As of right now well my fear is what you just said federal. Yes. As of right now there is no talk about additional funding. Um but everything is changing as far as PTE goes. So we we are good for now. Um, at any point in time, uh, funding can cease. Um, but let's not worry about it until we have to worry about it. Let's continue what we're doing. Let's make the strides, show how good these programs are for the students, and, you know, hopefully they'll see the good things happening here. Very good. Great job. Thank you. Thank you,
017Evan. Thank you, Miss Bowser, elementary principal. uh federal programs update for title one, title four, uh title one family engagement, math and literacy night for grades prek to one. Um we had a great turnout. This is the first year that we invited the prek from uh the community as well as the pre-k classes from our school. Grades two and three will be held on May 6th and May 14th for grades four through six. Um on May 16th, we'll also have our prek students transition day here at Senator Derati at 9:00 in the morning. This is a time we could provide an overview to our um kindergarten program, answer any questions, and the parents get to tour the kindergarten classrooms with their child. Our Title 4 funds continue supporting STEM gifted and enrichment and outrageous. Um
018thanks to a very generous grant from the AOC, our STEM lab has acquired a large format poster printer. Um this addition allows us to print high quality large scale posters, educational materials, and signs to enhance enhance both our instruction and classroom environments. Looking ahead, um, we're excited to incorporate this tool into our future young entrepreneurs program where they have the chance to design, market, and produce their own printed products. Our final outrageous showcase will be held on June 5th at 11:45 in the gym. Um, our Scholastic Book Fair is going to be running from May 9th to the 16th in our library. Kindergarten registration is Wednesday, May 7th, Thursday, May 8th, and Friday the May 9th at the Snider Draty Pier Elementary School. And our science and art showcase will be on May 15th from
0195:00 to 8:00 p.m. And finally, our field day is scheduled for May 30th. Thank you. You want to tell them a little bit about what we saw today? Oh, yes. Uh outside today, they um present at Raising the Bar presented um with the money to be able to have a Lincoln memorial. And the hope is that um it's going to be the kids could use it also and maybe embed some of that um information from our history of our town into our curriculum here possibly with fourth grade who does study Pennsylvania history. So it should be very exciting. And you remember this whole speech? Good. But just in brief is what they're going to do is there's a piece of track that's on the burough property of borders are that was where Abraham Lincoln had
020stopped. Actually he was through Bristol twice. once was his funeral and once he gave a speech there. So is what they're going to do. They're going to put a pavilion there. It's going to be a metal figure of Abraham Lincoln and they're going to put some figurines made out of metal that look like people observing him, listening to his speech and there's going to be a screen with the QR code that you go and you click on that and you'll hear what it's all about the audio. Cool. Yeah. So that that is coming. So that work will be done probably in the fall. But it it it borders it's on the burrow's property, but then it's the path and our property. So they may be coming here to ask for some permission to do things
021in the future if they need to, but right now they're on burrow property. Mr. Nastasi, thank you. Uh title one update. We just finished our PSSAs. Uh and the students will continue to work and improve on their fastbridge scores. Uh we will have another fast bridged uh testing in another month. Title four um seventh grade STEM students are learning about technical drawing and then drawing blueprints and construct popsicle stick structures based on designs using popsicle sticks and hot glue. Eighth grade STEM students are learning about measuring and then coding sparrow robots to complete a tour of their own city creation with landmarks and attractions to help them increase tourism. They will then have their robots complete their tour and determine if they are successful or need to continue improving their code to meet their city
022tour plans. For the high school 21st century production, students are designing and building their own landmark structures using CAD software, 3D printers, and laser cutters. Students have to draw blueprints and a 3D model, create a material list and cost an assembly project plan, and then construct their their structure using cardboard, tape, hot glue, and popsicle sticks along with any other materials they want to include. and then we'll present their projects along with design engineering process they followed in a final pitch presentation. The introduction in the physical computing class students are learning to manually plot and code autonomous flights DJI to drones to complete to com complete to comp complete simulated STEM missions. uh the the gifted students and the STEM club um which is new to STEM club after school. The students uh participate in
023a variety of STEM related activities like paper airplanes, air shows, spirrobot, rocket leagues, and dress to impress, laser engraving, photos, TGI, Tele drone, soccer, and obstacle courses. Um our Keystone testings are are coming up. 512 and 513 will be our our Keystone literature. 54 514 515 will be our algebra testing. And I didn't add on here. Um 516 519 will be biology. And I wanted to add give you guys an update um on something that we did. Um so we had the uh Bristol cleanup. Um and Mrs. Staley, our nurse, and Sheila McIntyre, our chemistry teacher, along with Councilwoman uh Maria Figueroa. Um we had a cleanup uh last weekend and um it went really well. So, we are trying to incorporate our students more in the community and um and Amy um Amy Daly
024and Maria are are coming up with a plan to help people in our town that are not able to clean up their yards or whatever. And we're trying to um create lists that our students can go there and help them with those needs in our community. Um we already had one student who helped somebody in our community already. Um it was a a great task that we completed. Um also um the students that were there um are part of our interact club and our community warriors um that were here last Sunday um doing a cleanup for um our our town. So, um we're trying to get um our students more in the community service and and help people more um and not just worry about community hours, but you know, the fact of giving back
025to people who are in need, you know, and that's the pilot of it. And along with Mrs. with with Miss Daly and and uh Miss Figerero and and uh Miss McIntyre, um it's a good team to spearhead uh what's going to happen in the future. So, that's it. Um, the only thing that I would uh suggest, and I don't know if this, we'd have to get Mr. House or Mr. Trulo to look into this, is that when we go into someone's backyard or wherever we're helping clean up, it's not like picking up on the street, you could have nails. Yeah. Blades. We have to be It's a liability, but we'll check with that. It's an excellent idea, but I think that we need to go out and look like somebody could be looking for a
026free yard clean up and be piled up 12 ft high and we don't know what's in there. Yeah. So, we're they're going to work out those those details. And we'll run that by we'll run that by, you know, Mr. True Love, Mr. Hower to make sure that, you know, we're we're protected on that. We'll also make sure they have the proper equipment with them like gloves and stuff like that. Absolutely. Good point. All right. That's that's a great idea. Thank you, Mr. Massie. Thank you. Comprehensive plans. Everything's been submitted as on time. Thank you. Public participation. Anyone from the public? Anybody in the public would like to make a comment on an agenda item? No one from the public. Okay. Let's go to new business item A. All right, Mr. President. I motion to approve
027the proposed budget for the 2025 2026 fiscal year in the amount of $27,287,520. And that is attached. Yes. Second. Second by Mr. Colin. Any questions? Roll call vote. Roll call. I just like to make a couple quick comments about the budget cycle this year that we all did. Um, this is a balanced budget. There's no millage increase in this budget. That's uh 13 consecutive years we've gone without a millage increase in the burrow. It's a40% increase from last year's budget. Um, some of the revenue savings was an increase in basic debt of 151,000, an increase of subsidy for adequacy supplement 254,000, increase of special ed funding 69,000. eight teacher retirements with six replacements that was estimated at 755,000 and a decrease in medical benefits of about a 100,000. Uh some of the expenditures were a
028teacher contract increase of 0.50 50 with step and column movement that's 600,000 custodial and maintenance contract increase 2% support staff contract increase of 3.1% administrators act 93 agreement of 3.5% retirement rate increase from 33.9 to 34% that attributes to about $46,000 increase rental income loss of Bucks County IU classrooms is about 74,000 and an increase in tuition for Bucks County intermediate youth students that's 257,000 and an increase in electricity and oil for the high school and Snder Gerate 122,000. So the process began we were probably 850,000 in the hole at one time. The board and the the budget committee worked very hard and again we have another successful year with no millage increase. Thank you Mr. McHugh. I don't believe the budget committee ever really met. It was all we had one meeting but we
029followed your advice. You you put a lot of work into this. We appreciate that. It's a busy season. So, we did have one meeting. I I Yes, we did did a great job, but we went along with your advice and we're back. Thank you. Okay, going to do a roll call. Okay, Mr. Cullen. Yes. Miss Curran? Yes. Mr. D'Angelo? Yes.

030Anybody have any questions? I like to comment on that budget, Miss Curran. You're the Oh. Um, I do apologize. I didn't know that you wanted me to. No. Anything just right off? Um, John, is there anything below the actual There wasn't anything that stood out that we Yeah, they were allowed to raise it a certain amount. We're under that. Okay. And we're going through negotiations now with um support staff, but everything is staying relatively in but there would smaller percentages. Chris, there anything that stood out to you? No, I mean this is a pretty standard increase over the years. The last five years, it's been pretty close to this. So, um our our enrollment's not really increased dramatically or decreased dramatically. So, it's pretty standard. Good. I think it's been a while, but wanted a
031a meeting a few months ago. I'm I guess by now there was talk about doing some some maintenance work up there. Um has those those things issues a roof I believe? So the roofing project is going I would say well um doing it now or so there's been phases. Um I believe the believe we're in the last phase if I recall correctly. Um it's more fine-tuning now. I believe we've experienced that issue now that um the air conditionings are probably starting to run right now. Um they're now seeing what needs to be adjusted and um they're holding the contractors accountable for what they've done and maybe what changes need to be come in and fixed. But um I would say uh Mr. Holtzman um I believe he's the assistant director, correct? Is been giving us
032very nice updates but also really holding everyone accountable um to the work that was done. There were some was there some equipment improvements too in some of the labs and things like that. So there has been equipment that is being looked at to be either purchased or approved by grants. Um off top of my head I'm not thinking of anything major. John nothing. Yeah, but I mean everything um they are I will say the one thing that I do appreciate with that board is the amount of grants that they're receiving for different types of equipment. Um they also had I believe it was seven students that are going on to the national um that were that passed through which I thought was really impressive that we have students that are excelling from the state of
033Pennsylvania and our technical high school in Bucks County. Um and hope I really hope they do well. Yeah. Um, in nationals. Good stuff. Thank you. Okay, so let's go on with the roll call.
