And uh, Mr. Leonard Ogden from assistant principal to be our high school principal for the 22 23 school year. We are excited to have Mr. Ro. All right, we have a recommendation. Do we have a motion? I'll make a motion. Motion. Do we have a second? I'll second. Any further discussion? All in favor? I should have made that motion with regret for you, Miss Hasser. Huh? I'm sorry. Congratulations. [Music] Congratulations. Hey, Mr. Rodman, I know your family's here. Oh, absolutely. So, this is my wife [Music] Jessica. My little girl incredibly patient. She has been [Music] fantastic. I'm excited to be new family members of T Ridge and looking forward

004to filling in some big uh shoes that Mr. Clark was able to build. So thank you guys. Not just big shoes but multiple shoes. Fortunately he will uh you know I got one year underneath him and got to work with him and fortunately he'll still be under the same roof. So congratulations. Thank you. Up next we have some new positions. done over the past 2 months we have position to recommend for next year. Um we're continuing to grow and have new enrollment and we would like to um make the recommendation that we hire a halftime special education teacher a an intermediate school teacher and a special education instruction for for next year to meet the growing demand of our students. All right, we have a recommendation. I will make that motion. We have a second.

005I'll make I'll second. Sorry, I got confused. Any uh any discussion? All in favor? Um if y'all would be so kind that we can revisit the cheer purchase. Um what we have for you is a breakdown by spec. Yeah. The first one the facts you know FAC miss um one by accident it's should be in there but when you get to the one that says order three um we have multiple POS and it it has a breakdown of everything that will be purchased. Okay. We were trying to figure out why um yeah, y'all needed a table for Ch. It's a it's a back class order name. Hey, it's all good. [Music] So, I just want to give y'all a few minutes to look at it. [Music] 557. [Music] Jesus. [Music] Even though those are multiple

006purchase orders, they're fall under one company and it and it goes beyond $21,600. So, it is not a micro purchase. So, it does require approval. Just I'm just kind of curious and I don't know if you all can answer this or not. How much does it cost to outfit one cheerleader? I got to find out. I mean, I'm just kind of curious because I know football they've got it down. So, the way she's got this um kind of multiple I would say in the $300 range for like your things that you would purchase in the first time for like your warm-ups, your bag that you would then not order year after year from our parent meeting the same way. So, some of these are going to be like the junior high, the new members, but

007then some girls may choose to or gentlemen may use choose to order a new bag every single year. So, some of those things are going to be different. Um, but so on average, it's about 300 years. I bet that includes um the camps as well. If I'm a parent and I need to fund raise off the bill per se, that would be my personal cost. Those are the things that you can't share. Shoes, bloomers, warm-ups, you can't share as a team. Also in this person are things that would be the fill-in pieces. So I've got a new squad and I don't have a script that's small enough. I have a really small young lady that made the team or gentleman. So that's it's going to be a fill in pieces as well. So that's what's

008confusing. But I'd say on average about $300 and that's very comparable. And I think Miss Hurst allows for parents to fund raise it off over the year or she um or parents can choose if they don't want to fund raise to write a check. That's what she went up before. Well, I knew that she has done that in the past. No one's turned away. Right. So ways to offset some of that cost by volunteering as well time. Right. Okay. And their biggest fundraisers are coming up with the fire stand and the program sales this summer for the the ad the ads that they sell on our programs and then right now right and this ask is coming out of cheers fund. Correct. Yes. It's coming out of their activity fund. Okay. It's not general operating

009just like all like when we purchase football helmets comes out of football. So we say so pride night is it your fundraiser? Yes sir. Yeah. But all teams are required to be there. all everybody participates in it. Maybe we ought to visit where those funds go. If all teams are required to be there and all parents are required to be there, that probably ought to be split up across the athletic department. Yeah, we can definitely look at that. Okay. any other. No, thank you for getting this at least that way, especially for the three of us that are vacating the board. We just didn't approve. And that way if there's questions, I've got documentation. So, I appreciate it. Thank you. Oh, yes. Leaving me to everybody else. Thanks, guys. And what's hard about the billion

010is that those companies, like I said, merge, but you still have to order them individually through the company that originally did shoes is a good example. manufacturer of the shoes might be Nikes. You have to order through the Nike division of this company. The uniforms of this division that's where is this division. It's just I don't know why they very confusing. So that's why with that I'd like to make the recommendation that we purchase um our share performance wear and varsity brand $41,29164. All right. Have a recommendation. Do we have a motion? I'll make a motion. Motion. Do we have a second? I'll second. Motion in a second. Any further discussion? All in favor? Up [Music] next, we have this week's a very big week. It's graduation week. And I'd like to recognize I know

011she's not here. Well, I want to She did the three Whoever did the three E. Same person. Okay. Well, you keep you keep recognizing that. That was fantastic. Miss Jessica Wood, she has done an outstanding job this year organizing graduation. Um, last Thursday, it was Friday. Um, we had the enlist, enroll, employ the three E on there where we recognize those kids from their peers. We had some parents there as well. It was outstanding. um what what branch of service they were going into, what college they were going to, um where they were going to work. Yeah, absolutely. Going to work. It it was an outstanding time to recognize um our young men and women that are that are leaving us and going out into the out to the world. Uh Mr. Woods has also

012worked very hard. There's some information there about how we're going to do graduation and everything. There's things in the diagram of when when we're there. Um we have um back we have scholarship night starting on Thursday um 6:00 is going to be the pack the back and learn sponsored by um the ministerial alliance and and everything. That is Friday starting at 6:00 and Saturday at 2. Um in the arena we have our graduation and it's going to be an outstanding event. Um, Miss Martell, would you like to add on? I know I'm stumbling. I just want to on the um first event that Miss Young definitely partnered with this was to really get those figures together and they were very excited. They're looking forward to how it evolves every year too. And um just the

013graduation events is for you all so you know where to arrive. I know last year we were all figuring out the space, but um we'd like for you all to arrive if you can 12:31 in the hospitality room upstairs in the arena just to go over any last minute changes or flow that might look a little different. Then we'll move together to the stage and then have everybody set your personal items if it's sure it won't be rainy, but just an event. So, anything that you don't want to carry with you for the day, we'll leave up in the hospital room for you. Um and we'll have some refreshments and all that while we get everybody settled in that day. Yeah. And May 13th is also our um senior walk. I don't know if y'all

014know what that is. That's where our seniors go around and do all the high. I'm glad you're bringing that back. That's awesome. It is a good you know the the younger kids love it, but I think the seniors love it even more. And so it's a great experience for the younger kids to see what's in store for them. and for our graduating seniors to go back and hug their old kindergarten and fourth grade teacher and all that good stuff. So, it's good time. Um, other than that, I have nothing else. My very last time, I would like to make a motion that we adjourn. I second motion. All in favor said if
