Item 3.1 is the Board of Presidents report. It is hard to believe that summer is nearly here. So much activity has been underway in the Garfield Heights City Schools District from the youngest of ages up until our graduating junior class. For the final few weeks of school, the Board of Education encourages you to visit our district website or our district social media to see all of the events and activities that are being planned for the end of the school year. Commencement will take place at Pudlin Hall on Thursday, May 27th and the very last day of school for Barco High City Schools
003District will be Wednesday, June 3rd. To the students and our families in the district, you have done a fantastic job. Please finish our school year strongly. Congratulations on your efforts and to everyone, please have a safe and enjoyable summer. That concludes my report. Next item on our agenda is community reports. Does anyone have community reports? Madam President, I have a student highlight from Cal Valley Career Center. For the month of April, we're highlighting Kayden Cody. Kayden is enrolled in CCC's Hospitality and Food Preparation Program under the instruction of April Monet. When the opportunity to attend CBCC came up, Caden was eager to try something new and step into a more hands-on learning environment. One of Caden's favorite parts of the program has been meeting new people and exploring potential career paths through job site visits.
004Throughout the year, he's gained experience in a variety of areas, from culinary and baking skills to guest relations, and the service industry. He's especially enjoyed learning about cleaning and laundry care and even appreciates the built-in break his day allows while traveling between Garfield Heights and CVCC. After high school, Caden is still exploring his career interests. He has a passion for fashion and is also intrigued by construction and other career paths, something he's continuing to discover during his time at CBCC. Outside of school, Caden enjoys spending time outdoors, especially mowing the lawn, playing video games on his PS5, shopping, particularly at Foot Locker, and grabbing a bite at Taco Bell. He also plans to work at Giant Eagle this summer. Caden is excited to keep building his skills and learning more about his interests and he
005encourages others to take advantage of the opportunities available at CVCC. Keep up the great work, Caden. We can't wait to see you, to see where your journey takes you. And this concludes my report. I have a wellness liaison report. Dance line, flag line, drum line, and leadership clinics and auditions have been completed with new members already training for the 26th season. The second annual Festival of the Bands was held on Wednesday, May 6th. The Performing Arts Center was packed and the students all had incredible performances after a year's worth of growth. The boosters are finishing their first major fundraiser for new uniforms. It ends tonight at 1159 p.m. So far we have raised over $9,500. If there are any last-minute donations, I have their little fundraiser thing. Instrument selection certificates will be going out later
006this week to students at Maple Leaf who elected to be part of the band in sixth grade. We have 103 students signed up for sixth grade band next year and 60 students signed up for sixth grade choir. Elijah Hall and Ian Boozer auditioned for and were accepted into the American School Band Directors Association National Honor Band. To our knowledge, this is the first time in Garfield Heights history we have had students accepted into this prestigious ensemble. Coincidentally, it will be held in Cleveland this year from June 23rd to the 25th. Last Thursday the band came together to perform at the end of the school day for the staff versus student flag football game. They played some throwbacks from last Marching season and helped the event to feel more like a Friday night game. On Saturday,
007May 16th, Mr. Dawson attended the OMEA, which is Ohio Music Education Association, State Board meeting in his capacity as District 7 President-elect. He will serve one more year as President-elect and then take over as the District 7 President this time next year. And we are looking forward to the 8th grade and high school bands. They have two performances coming up. They're going to be marching in the Garfield Heights Memorial Day Parade on Monday, May 25th, and high school graduation on Thursday, May 28th. The newly elected, selected leadership team will be heading to Avon Lake High School on Wednesday, June 3rd, to train with the nationally renowned leadership guru, Scott Lane. This concludes my wellness of the exam report. So tonight's department, teaching and learning, is proud to share how we are working to ignite curiosity,
008inspire growth, and create meaningful opportunities for every child, every day, together. At the beginning of the year, we were asked to turn it up 212 degrees, bring it to that degree. And that we certainly did. We brought it up in instruction, relationships, classroom culture, literacy, better teammates, problem solving, and energy and excellence all across our district. And I want to showcase you some of the great things that happened because we brought it and we turned it up this year at Garfield Heights. We certainly did it. This is our diagnostic screener AIMSweb data. AIMSweb is a screener that we give three times through to our students. We give it in the fall, the winter, and the spring. This data is from this current school year. So these are our current kindergarteners and they were just tested
009about a week ago. So if you look to the far right where it says spring, I'm proud to announce that 90% of our students are in Tier 1 for reading in kindergarten this year, which is a really great accomplishment. Along with that, I wanted to bring attention to the fact that we have done some changes here drastically with the way our buildings are set up. So 2022-23, we were still in K-5 buildings. The 23-24 school year, we started at the end of the year, 78% of our kindergartners were on track. 24, 25, and 6% were on track. And then again this year, our 90% were on track. So I certainly want everyone to see that we are making gains with the transition of the building as it comes to our student learning. This is our
010first grade data. Our first grade trends were going up and down a little bit this year, but we ended with 68% of our students in Tier 1. Some of the things we changed up a little bit with first grade was we definitely looked at our small group instruction. We looked at the data and we made sure that we were making changes to the instruction for our students to make those gains in first grade. Again, how did we do as a new building? 48% to 46% and now this year to 68%. 20% growth there. That's a great job for our first graders as well. On to second grade in Elmwood Elementary School. Again, we did our fall, winter, and spring data. We have 82% of our students, I'm now proud to say, are in Tier 1
011for second grade reading. They worked very hard along with their teachers to make sure that they were practicing every day and getting all of their letters and sounds together for blending and reading as a group. This cohort data shows that it's 47% of our students in 23-24, 54% of our current second graders. in 24-25 and then 82% again this year for our students. So we see that growth and we're very excited. That's almost a 30% jump there. That's a great job for our second grade team. and lastly our third grade students so with our third grade students we are 81% down in the spring for our tier one group this is our group that also has to take the OST so we're awaiting the final scores from our OST we'll be able to report those
012to you at the next board meeting with the data department but we're very excited about the potential of our students growing with our tier one being at 81% And this shows the distinction again between our students that were in third grade for the 23-24 school year starting at 53 then moving to 59 and jumping all the way up to 81. So great job third grade and elementary school. We're very proud of the gains that we are seeing here in reading because that's the core of our instruction that we need to improve here as a district. We're going to move on to Maple Leaf. We have our fourth and fifth grade students there, and they were working hard on Admentum. Admentum is a system that we have that the students take a test, and then based
013on where they perform their test, it puts them on a pathway. So they've been working very hard on their pathways. And as you can see, there's a lot of mastery happening. What does that mean? It means, like, if I was a fourth grader and I was in a second grade skill, I would master my way up to those fourth grade skills. So our fourth graders at ELA had about 3,000 mastered skills. close to 5,000 for our fourth grade math, 2,500-ish for our fifth grade BLA, and then for our math, around 2,500 again. So a total of almost 13,000 skills mastered, and that's amazing that we see the growth for our students when we talk about how many things they mastered. The other side, which trophies are, students are working towards trophies as kind of an
014incentive for them to do well as they're working on all of their skills and facts, etc. So you'll see a little bit of a spike in the trophies because sometimes it takes students one or two times to get to that mastery. So we have a little more in the trophy category, but that was a great job by Maple Leaf and the team over there to make sure that the students were motivated and they kept going. middle school, we had six students this year take the algebra one test at the high school. They would come here every morning. Their parents would drop them off. They had the first period with Ms. Shannon Smith, and then they would go back by bus to the middle school. We received their OST scores, and all six made the cut
015for us this year, which is amazing. We had one proficient at 721 points, four accomplished, and they were between 728 and 738. and one advanced student in 760. So we're very proud of those scores. And they all made the cut for us. And that's a program we want to continue to use. We have about 13 students identified for next year to come to the high school to continue this program. And last but not least, our high school. Some great accolades here for our class of 2026. As you can see, we have one student going to the Navy, five to the Army, two to the Air Force, and we have multiple scholarships happening throughout the building for our scholarly athletes, our athletes in general, and then our total award was around $634,000, excuse me, and that's
016over the span of four years. So we're very proud of that money that they will be taking along with them to further their education. And obviously we wish them the best in all the things they do going forward after they graduate in just a few days. Some major accomplishments just to highlight for our department this year, obviously, with the help and support of Board of Education, we adopted a new course of study, our district reading achievement plan, a new high school course catalog, and this is the first year of our agriculture science program here at the high school that was very effective. We had 11 students pass the web exam, so that was great work on their part and Mr. Pavlik. Our scope and sequence is being aligned. With all of the great growth we've
017had with our younger students, we introduced UFLY, which is the University of Florida Literacy Institute. It's an intervention, so we're using the same intervention across the board now with all of our students, so there's consistency in that growth. We added morphology and word study for our students in grades three through eight because we realized they still needed that extra support when it came to sounding out, blending, et cetera, with their words. And then a curriculum council. So we took all three level chairs and department chairs and brought them together this year. as teams and they came up to the board office they met with the coaches and we really got the teacher buy into all this and their voices were heard at the table and they're making instructional decisions so it's very important for us
018some new initiatives coming forward we are proud to announce the fact that we're going to have an agriculture science program at the middle school that will be starting for our students in eighth grade that'll be part one of what they'll receive as part two here at the high school so they'll be teaching kind of the same content together but the first section of the second section And then we'll have a middle school career pathway courses they will be taking. With that addition, we'll have a new college and career readiness specialist that will support that both here at the high school and at the middle school. We're very excited about that new position. We have an AI policy launching with teaching and learning. And Mr. Wayland, we're going to be working on professional development for the
019district, staff, and students. You'll see that policy coming shortly because we have to adopt it by July 1st for the state. And then the math diagnostic screener. So the state has decided that just like the reading, they want a math intervention and monitoring plan. So next year all of our students based on their scores will be put on a plan if we identify that they need more intervention in math. And that is, again, a state initiative that they have put forward. But you don't always want to hear it from me. There are some great things happening in this district, and I really wanted everyone to see the great things happening in the district. So Ms. Kai Stilwell and Lizzie Cochan, 10th and 12th grades, they did their capstone project for Mr. Nobruna for his video
020class, and they're really proud to present this to you, and I hope you really enjoy what you see, and we can discuss some things afterwards. Everything is good in the garden. Great stuff. We have a lot of fun. Chelsea and I work at different buildings, but we are with the tile team who comes over to help benchmark all of the students that we foster. This year, we are seeing great growth so far. We've done three classes and just the amount of growth that we're seeing from back in August when we first benchmarked to now, like these kids are blending, they are reading, they are segmenting. Yeah, it's great that they're just They know what to do. They don't have to do anything. They're coming in, they're blending, they're doing their accessories. And this is kindergarten.
021This is kindergarten. We're really excited after each class. We can say, wow, they're doing good jobs. So my kindergarteners have shown amazing growth this year. They have really really taken off their reading. I have more readers this year than I've had any year. And they're really ready for first grade and I love my class this year. I'm really excited to see them go. And that's up here at Elmore. Super hard. My students have been really working in their curricular areas in Glade and Widthdown. They're currently working. small groups so that way students can get the extra support that they need. Same for our Bi-Match for Yale students today, working in small groups to get the extra support that they need. We've also been working super hard this year on how to choose kindness in my
022classroom. We're doing some different kindness projects. In February we did a kindness project where we collected notes from around the world and people sent us those cards. and we were able to discuss how people could be kind from different states, different cities, and then we looked at maps and we talked about the different places around the world and that way we can kind of bring some different things into our curriculum. Hello, I'm Mike Ferlino, proud principal of Maple Leaf Elementary. We have a lot of interesting things going on here at the school as we close out a successful year. One thing that we have going on is our one school. One book project. All students in the school are reading the book a chapter at a time and we have a little special contest going
023on where we are hiding suitcases across the building. Another thing that we are doing is we are having an Edmentum Challenge. The students that gain the most skills, trophies, and challenges or skills earn ice cream scoops. When an entire whole room has the most scoops that they are awarded an ice cream party. In Ms. Baldus' class, they are exploring force and motion in fifth grade science. Students are working together to create roller coasters as they study force in motion. Hi, I'm Mrs. Mullins. I teach in upgrade science. My students are working on today. They're working on, partially, they're working on force in motion packs. We've done force in motion for about, maybe what, six weeks we've done that. And some of them are working on independent animal slides using their technology skills and what they
024know about life science. And they did get to choose their favorite animal. a bunch of students that were crocheting. I thought, wow, that's pretty cool. I thought, maybe we need a club. So I didn't know how to crochet, learned how to crochet, and started this club. For the kids, the response was tremendous. We had a lot of kids that were interested. We had a lot of skill levels. We had kids that knew how to crochet, kids that didn't even know what crochet was. I joined choir because singing is something I want to do with my life. I want to be a professional singer so therefore I took choir so that it could be steady before I got to that level. Choir made me realize you don't have to be scared to experience the disease. I
025joined choir and it improved my confidence. I love singing and I usually do theater. but like they didn't have an assumption so I chose choir and I've been singing since I was younger so. And lastly we had the high school. It was an easy project. It wasn't easy to imagine but we were too worried about it. We used it. But it was pretty easy. It held up more than I thought it would for a possible student to stay in elementary school. It was pretty difficult. I thought you guys would not be able to jump on it but like you made it. Jump on it. Well, it's a vocational program for us here. It's a really nice way for all of us in our class to get to know a bunch of new students as well
026as our staff. My experience with customers is that I like to give people what I can just do and show them different things like what they want, what they need, and then I give them the amount that they need to pay for. I think it's really nice. Believe it or not, all of the stuff that we get really does contribute for lots of us in here. And a really great experience to get to learn these skills, but on top of that, form new connections. I'd like to finish with thanking everyone. We really put our hearts, our souls, our energy, and our love into our students this year. Our teachers did a great job. Thank you to our administrators. Because as we grow together, we learn together. And that's really what makes a family here. Thank
027you so much everyone for your support this year. triangle to your chart. Is there something I can answer about that? No, I just wanted to look at the numbers on the bottom. I didn't catch them, but I just wanted to look and see, you know, those numbers as they go down. When we originally started AIMSweb, some of our principals can attest to the fact that we didn't see a lot of reading. And obviously, reading was good. So seeing where we've grown, just looking at the colors, it makes us really happy and smile. I was actually so excited when I found the kindergarten things. I read the doctor in his office and knocked on the door and said, guess what? We've got readers. So I'm very excited to see what's happening with the data. For the
028fourth graders with the master's skills, so just as board members, we can see that there were a lot of skills mastered, but can you talk to us a little bit about what these numbers mean or what's the average or how many should be VBA? Because they're just numbers to us. I'm happy to help. I don't know if Mr. Foligno would like to add some too because that was really his project. Yeah, so basically, As a district goal, we wanted to have eight major skills mastered in a semester, 16 for a year. Within those major skills, there are dozens of other little skills. Everything from capitalization to subject-verb agreement to... identifying details or evidence in the text. So when you're looking at 3,000 skills, those all work towards, those are all those little finite reading skills
029or those little math skills that work towards those, let's say those eight for the semester or 16 for the year. So it's every little thing you need to know and when you put it all together, you become a better reader, better mathematician. And this may, you can tell me that this may be some data that we get next week. High school graduation. We'll be getting all that data next week. So we're still working on some things. We have some students that are really hitting hard to finish that finish line. And we'll have all that information shortly for you. And we'll share that with the board as well. Perfect. Thank you. You made a comment about we're going to have someone in the middle school and the high school. Career pathways? Correct. So the state is
030now putting new legislation. So we have to have college and career pathways starting in seventh grade for middle school. And then our agriculture program will meet those requirements for the eighth grade. So we are hiring a college and career readiness special. We're working here at the high school, here at the middle school to make sure that we're bridging all of those things together and making the full experience for the student. The state's also going to ask us to start tracking that data in middle school. So it's really important that we have a continuation of that. working together and that we keep all that data where it needs to be. Are we tracking that data now for the high school is my first question. Second question is, is there some type of process for the students
031that are not going to college? Would they be connected to that career? pathway person to develop a plan after high school. Absolutely. So not only do they help with the pathways, but they help with the college as well too. So looking for those scholarships, working with FAFSA, any support that we can give to our students or families around that, those college decisions, and working closely with our guidance team. Right now we have some preliminary data, but again, we should have more of that by the end of next week. And I'm happy to share that piece, but our students are working really hard to get those college and career pathways. And they're very excited about it. And we're piquing more interest because we don't know what you don't know. So if we're not exposing them to
032all of those career pathways, they're not sure what they like already. They have the experience to get all that. So along with field trips, it's going to colleges. We're really just opening up the eyes of all of our students. Just to follow up with that, this career and college specialist, will they work co-example with our current CVCC specialist? Yes, they will. Madam President, I just want to make sure I understand. process or there will be a process for the students that are not going to college? Correct. Okay. Thank you again. on our agenda this evening is our Superintended Report. Thank you, Madam President. On behalf of everyone at the Garfield Heights City Schools, please join me in congratulating the Garfield Heights City Schools class of 2026 who will formally graduate on Thursday, May 28th. The
033hard work of our seniors, their leadership and determination has stood out over the last several months particularly. Whether your future plans or include college or military workforce, or if it simply is to plan a gap year to contemplate the future, I extend my sincerest wishes to you for your future endeavors. Congratulations to all those who are graduating and their families as well as their teachers. You will be made Bulldog proud. Next, I would like to commend the National Honor Society conductors who were formally accepted into the prestigious organization during a ceremony last week. The juniors and seniors inducted have done their very best to affirm four pillars of NHS, including scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Thank you to the advisors who made this ceremony very special and to the families of all of the inductees.
034May you continue your efforts to change the world. The Elmwood Elementary School Run Club hosted their very own track meet this past week as well. I was invited to run, but I didn't have the right shoes on, so I couldn't compete. Thank you for your help with getting me out of that, Ms. Rohn. Several adults had the chance to pair up with second and third graders who stretched out, warmed up, and took to the blocks and participated in the events. The new track and field was home to this event and I can't think of a better place to have held this first event. Shakia Smith was a true coach to these students and she deserves credit and a great deal of credit for launching this program. Most special were the families who joined the children
035on that day and observed their athletic performance and enjoyed that very, very beautiful facility that we have outside. And finally, ladies and gentlemen, I close this report with a heavy heart and sharing the important news that I will be departing the Garfield High City School District at the end of the school year. Simply put, to those who know me closest, they know this to be true, I'm going home. Home to the southeast part of the country where I originally came from 12 years ago. That's 12 years ago it went so fast, y'all. Only intended to be in here for four years, but I wound up spending a lot more time here. Home to South Carolina and Georgia region to be closer to my aging parents who will need their son. Home to my daughter who
036will be attending college who's been down there at Spelman and who now moves to graduate school and requires support of her family at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte. Home to my youngest daughter who will be attending her first year of college at South Carolina State University. Next month, I will share some accomplishments that I believe has made us Bulldog proud and that revolved around the students in our district. Thank you for all of those who worked hard for our students this year. It was a wonderful four years in the district. It was hard work. I enjoyed every minute of it. I enjoyed the challenges. I enjoyed the wins. I enjoyed the tough days. And I enjoyed every single student and every single staff member in our district. And I truly am proud to
037be a Bulldog. Thank you all for everything that you've done to support our children and I'm prayerful that you will continue to support our children moving forward and all the efforts of our educators in that school district. So thank you all and that concludes my report. So many words can be shared about the impact that you have had in your four years here. I can just remember the process that we went through to bring in a new superintendent. And I feel like we shared with you areas of the district that we really wanted to improve. And you took that feedback and you put your foot to the pavement, literally to help us see growth. to see the growth in our students that they could have. And I can probably speak for the board sitting here
038as well as our former board members. We saw you do the work and we know that there were tough days. very tough day, but you never let go of the vision that you came with and we truly, truly, truly appreciate the time that you spent with us. Item 7.1 on our agenda is public participation. Thank you. Item 8.1 is the approval of the financials for April of 2026. May I have a motion to approve our April monthly financial report? So moved. Thank you. Is there a second? Second. I'm sorry. That is moved by Ms. Morrison and seconded by Mrs. Urban-Dozier. Is there any discussion? Madam President, yes. So we are 83% through the fiscal year, and we are looking at running a very favorable budget and forecast through the end of fiscal year 26. Obviously,
039it's towards the end of fiscal year 26, so we've been looking at 27 and on. But the big thing for this month is that the county and the state have been delaying their payments to us, so you'll see a big... change in revenue from this year versus last year when we got our local tax reimbursements from the state and then also the difference in or the stabilization of enrollment has kind of bumped us a little bit with the state funding formula so those two and then on the expenditure side we're running a little bit higher than normal with some of the tuition payments and inflation everything from diesel to anything that runs on oil is going up in price so That is something that we could not foresee earlier in this year. And then you
040have a transfer resolution to transfer money into the athletic fund, which is normal at the end of the year. And then also to transfer money into our Title I grant, which has been a cleanup project for three years now. So hopefully this will be that final one, and then we can move forward from there. Any questions? I do have a question. Did you say something about stability of enrollment? Yes, actually. So it's a great question. So we when we did our forecast the past three years and when we were in submitting state plans, one of the biggest issues our district was facing was a steep decline in enrollment. And this year we have been able to stabilize that. And it has been. around 2 460 students if you remember we were losing about 250 kids
041a year we're actually up about a net 10 to 12 which is significant for our school district not only did we stop the bleeding we actually kept it stable and actually increased a little bit so that's really important moving forward it pushes us farther down the path of getting the funding guarantee which is incredibly important for our future conversations of the fiscal stability of the district Ms. Morrison? Yes. Ms. Irving-Dozier? Yes. Ms. Cox? Yes. Ms. Dudley? Yes. Mr. Dudley, I apologize. Mr. Dudley. Ms. Thomas? Yes. Thank you. The next item on our agenda is Resolution No. 26-28. It is a transfer resolution. May I have a motion? So moved. Thank you. Is there a second? Second. Thank you. That is moved by Ms. Morrison, seconded by Ms. Cox. Any additional discussion? Any questions? Seeing none,
042may we have a roll call? Yes. Ms. Morrison? Yes. Ms. Cox? Yes. Mr. Dudley? Yes. Mrs. Urban-Dozier? Yes. Ms. Thomas? Yes. Thank you. May I have a motion to approve item 10.1, 11.1? So moved. Thank you. Is there a second? Second. Thank you. That is moved by Ms. Cox, seconded by Mr. Morrison. Is there any discussion? Ms. Cox? Yes. Ms. Morrison? Yes. Mr. Dudley? Yes. Mrs. Urban-Dozier? Yes. Ms. Thomas? Yes. Thank you. May we have a motion to approve items 13.1 through 15.1? So moved. Thank you. Is there a second? Thank you. That is moved by Ms. Morrison, seconded by Ms. Cox. Is there any discussion? Then may we have roll call? Ms. Morrison? Yes. Ms. Cox? Yes. Mr. Dudley? Yes. Mrs. Irving-Dozier? Yes. Ms. Thomas? Yes. Thank you. Item 16.1 on our agenda is
043the recommendation to approve the policy items as presented. May I have a motion? So moved. Is there a second? This is not a recommendation to approve the policy item. This is our second reading. So item 16.1 on our agenda is the second reading of the listed policies. Policies 5200, 7540.09, 2510, 5136, and 5113. This is the first reading. Which one did we not have a first reading on last week? the first rule. Not amend the agenda at this point, but we did a first reading on 5.13 on 5.11. Yes. The first reading was on April 20th.
