This evening, I've asked Mr. Bolting House and Mrs. Meyer uh to come forward this evening to talk about uh the presentation from the Owen Valley High School FFA, farm advisory, and student presentation related to what will be potentially the Valley Cattle Company. So, bear with me. See if I can get this going. And of course, it's on there. And is it live streaming? Okay. So, >> oh boy. >> Let's see if I can do this
007without it in front of me. I might have to turn around, but it'll be all right. There we go. Thank you. >> You're welcome. >> All right. So, tonight I am here to present to you guys uh Valley Cattle Co. which is what we are hoping to be one of our new student business. So, um we have the goat farm, but it is now switching over to the cattle farm. So, when we talk about this, um when we were looking into this, we were saying why are we switching? Uh the main thing we had 18 deaths with the goats. So the biggest thing with goats is the parasites. Um that is the main leading cause for goats. So we were trying to figure out what else could we do to get the kids involved. So
008we also were looking at with the death, you're not going to get your profit from your goats. So no profit. Right along with that, there was no market for goats. When it came time to sell the baby goats, it was a struggle to try to sell them because people just weren't in the market to buy them anymore. Uh earlier like in the year we had people trying to buy them for fair and then it always felt like people were backing out because they found other goats. So then we started looking at student interest. What do we want these kids to get involved with and what are they interested in? So we started looking into what can we do? So, uh, my co-orker Shelby, she sent on an interest survey to the students and there were
00965% of the students that were highly interested in cattle. That was the top one. Uh, goats were right underneath them. Uh, but we were looking at cattle. So, with that, we started talking to the a advisory board. So, we were working with them. We asked their opinions. What do you guys think about this? So, with that, we started to visit other school farms. Um, we took some people up to Indian Creek with their cattle company up there. They got a tour of that and then we came back and we all decided to discuss would this be a good option for here at Spencer Owen and we rolled with that. So, we determined that cattle would be the direction we would go in um because we want to get the students more involved. So, they wanted
010more businesses too. So, we are going to run this business like Patriot Manufacturing. So, you're going to have your main kids who are going to be taking uh lead of this and then we are going to run the rest of it like a business. So, our plan for this year, um we are going to have three three feeder calves. Um we are hoping to have them out there by fall break. My parents are graciously going to be bringing them out for us. uh they are going to donate one of them back to uh the school once the calves are ready to be butchered and the other two they're going to take back home uh but they just didn't want one calf out there by itself. Uh they are also will be donating feed too. So
011um a lot of it we don't have to cover this year thankfully financially which gives us a year to help build up that. Uh students are going to be responsible for the feeding that is the big thing. Uh we are also working I mean they've been out there working for cleanup days and the kids have been helping with getting that all set up. Our plan once the calves are ready to be butchered uh we want to sell the b the burger and the prime cuts back to the community uh or even to teachers in the district. So looking ahead what what do we want to do with this? Um we want to grow the business of course. Uh we hope to use more of the land out at the farm over the next couple years.
012We'd love to use that land for hay and we'd love to do crops just so we can produce our own feed for the cattle. Um also we're going to be getting more students involved. This isn't just going to be a students. It's about like Patriot Manufacturing. You bring students in from all aspects of the school. We're going to be doing that here. Uh, we of course need business students involved and right along with that we need kids who are going to want to do projects for us or honestly any kids who just want to be involved in more hands-on. Uh, so we're going to pull many many students from the different pathways and get them all involved with this. Right along with that, we want to be sustainable. We want to make sure that we
013are going to obtain this over time. So students have been starting to research that. What can we do to help keep this sustainable? Uh, couple pictures I have for you guys. Uh, I've been taking my animal science classes out there. We've been out there three times and as you can see, uh, we've been cleaning things up. The shed's been redone. Uh, the back of the barn's been cleaned out. And then the next slide for you. The inside of the barn has been completely changed around. So, we're getting everything ready for the cattle. Uh, I've been in talk with my parents and we are hoping to have them out there by fall break. So, if you would like to follow along with our journey, uh, we have a Facebook page. uh my marketing manager for this
014business. She is trying to keep everybody updated that way. Any questions? All right. >> Thank you very much. >> Thank you. Okay, >> thank you very much, Carolyn. Uh, next on our agenda is old business. >> There are no old business items. >> Okay, next uh new business item one. >> Uh, item one is a request to accept the food donation from the cook group uh on behalf of Valley Backpack Buddies. Again, this was a number of a large number of items that would equate to over $1,000 in value. >> You've heard the request. Do I have a motion on that request? >> Move to approve. >> Oh, thank you, Dina. >> Uh, do I have a second? >> Second. >> Thank you, Rick. Is there any discussion? Okay, hearing none, we'll proceed to vote.
015All those in favor, please raise your right hand. Motion passes six to zero. Uh, next item two. Uh, item two is a request from our middle school to approve an esports club uh, startup for the middle school program. Uh, there would be no cost and then uh, you can see the information Mr. Arth provided about the guidelines for participation and academic performance uh, and attendance related to that. Okay. >> All right. Further request. I have a motion on that request. >> Move to approve. >> Thank you, Mark. Do I have a second? >> Second. >> Thank you, Jack. Any discussion? >> Okay.

And I will we'll get to discussion. I'll defer to Mr. Taylor uh who pulled all this together for us as we reviewed it. >> You've heard the request. I have a motion on that request. >> Move to approve. >> Thank you, Dina. Do I have a second? Second. >> Thank you, Mark. All right. Any discussion? >> Mr. Taylor, >> anything from you? So
018shared with you uh for last month um the information that we have part of the requirement that we're required to do is post on our full website. Um the different curricular materials that students are taught throughout the the grade levels that they're taught at. here at Spencer Owen that takes place in grades four and five and that's primarily about uh friendships um and has information about uh students as they're growing. Takes place in grade seven and also takes place in grade 10. For each grade level, parents have the opportunity to review those materials already in final forms and then provide their consent. Uh if parents choose not to consent to um the materials being taught to their children, which is fine, um alternate activities will be provided for students when uh that those uh lessons
019are taking place. Okay. >> Any discussion from the board? >> Yeah, I had a question. Will that be um I'm familiar with fourth and fifth grade at the elementary as it was done in the past. Is that still through uh like the Ruth Lily Center >> that they come in and >> Yes. >> Okay. So it's um Health Ed Pros is the company that the school corporation has used and Mr. Bergen who's the counselor at McCormix Creek uh has worked with that person but they provide those uh lessons and service the school corporation. So it's still the same. >> So to get parent approval is something sent out and so much time to respond. Is that that how it works? >> Yeah. So, um it happens at parents sign final forms. It's part of the
020online registration documents and so those are documents that they have and then parents are notified again as the presentations are made. at that point. >> No matter whether they approve it already or not. >> Okay. Any other discussion? Okay. Hearing none, we'll proceed to vote. All those in favor, please raise your right hand. Motion passes six to zero. Okay. Item six. Uh item six is a request to approve the receipt of the Indiana Digital Intervention Training and Implementation Grant in the amount of $16,400. And uh want to give credit to Mrs. Breedlove and Mrs. White for uh working to author author and craft this grant which will be used at Spencer Elementary for part of the uh reading instruction improvements there. >> Okay, you've heard the request. I have a motion on that request. >>
021Thank you, Liz. Do I have a second? >> Second. >> Thank you, Rick. Is there any discussion? Hearing none, we will proceed to vote. All those in favor, please raise your right hand. Motion passes six to zero. Item seven. Uh item seven is a request to approve the receipt of our title one grant funding for the 2526 school year. That amount is $56,7142. And again, I would uh uh like to thank Mr. Taylor for his work on oversight of this grant, coordinate, collecting all the information and submitting it. >> You've heard the request. I have a motion on that request. >> Move to approve. >> Thank you, Jack. Do I have a second? >> Second. >> Thank you, Liz. >> Is there any discussion? Okay, hearing none, we'll proceed to vote. All those in favor,

And again, thanks to Mr. Taylor for coordinating uh collection of all the data and submission of this grant grant request. >> Okay, you've heard the request. Do I have a motion on that request? >> Move to approve, >> Dina. And is that Liz is a second? Okay. Any discussion? Okay. Hearing none, we'll proceed to vote. All those in favor, please raise your right hand. >> Motion passes six to zero. All
023right. Next up, item nine, our much maligned gym floor. Uh before the board uh is a request for the right now the emergency replacement of a portion of the gym floor in the high school that has come underwater damage. Um if you are to approve this this evening, this will allow me to authorize Cincinnati floor to begin removing the uh floor that has been damaged from a water source that we are still trying to track down. Uh but this will eliminate this will allow us to remove all the the damaged floor so that we can determine the problem and then once that is determined we will go back and replace the floor. Uh my timelines that I provided to you over the last several days uh last week uh ironically after a volleyball game Mr.
024green and one of the volleyball players noted noticed rather uh some bulges or some uneven wear in the floor. Um then the next day uh made me aware made Cincinnati floor aware because they were the ones who installed that floor. Came down to do an initial assessment. Came back immediately the next day with a camera to get underneath the floor and we could see water and moisture drawings. So contacted our insurance providers who gave me the authority to go ahead and start uh mitigating and trying to stop the source of the water which in turn forced us to start cutting the floor up. Uh the pictures that are provided to the board and I can share some of these as well if you'd like to see them that uh the floor's been starting to be
025brought up. We are finding water under there. uh an adjuster from the insurance agent has been there uh and he has now asked for a structural engineer to come out and see if he can help us find where this water is coming from. So to make the public aware and everyone else aware we have tried to backtrack through every possible vein right now of water trying to come into that building. So, we've had maintenance crews up on the roof dumping 15, 20 gallons of water at a time down roof drains and putting in fluorescent pink dye to see if we could get the pink dye to show up. It did not. Um, they are starting, excuse me, they are starting to look back at the blueprints to see if there is an old abandoned drain
026line that may be the source of this. So, uh, with a structural engineer coming in, we're hoping to find the source of this very quickly so that we can eliminate the water source, get this repaired, and and hopefully not, I hate to even say it, disrupt any further sports this fall or into this winter. U, I know Mr. Green and Mr. D or uh, Mr. Bolting house uh have already spoken to a neighboring school to host the volleyball sectional because we will not be able to host it because of the floor and the the condition of the floor. So, uh we will we will act as fast as we can once we determine what this water source is. So, and I I'm at a loss right now. I've talked to some of you here at
027the meeting this evening and when I updated you over the phone uh and I talked to a couple of the teachers today when I was over there. I'm looking for a needle in a hay stack and I'm afraid that's what the the engineers may be looking for is a needle in a haystack here. So, um and I've been asking a lot of history questions, Jack. So, uh somebody told me today there was a water fountain in the wall on that uh What would that be? The east wall. So, >> I'm going to go I'm gonna we're going to share that with this engineer and see if see if there's something that's been hidden or or just left for no no use. And suddenly now it's it's leaking water. So, it's uh it's uh very perplexing.
028And as I told a couple of you, as soon as I walked into the gym, when Mr. Green called me over there and I saw what they were doing and I leaned down and looked at the floor. It just made me sick because I knew exactly what it was that we were dealing with. So, but I'll be quiet now. Cincinnati floor has priced out the cost here uh of $177,453 also with a cost not to exceed $15,000 to unbolt and remove the bleachers. again just as we did previously to replace any wood under the bleachers that will have to be replaced. So part of this uh or all of this will yet to be determined will be covered by an insurance claim. The other part will be covered by rainy day. Uh and that's what
029no pun intended. This is what rainy day is intended for because I think I said this three years ago when the baseball hit the fire the fire uh >> sprinkler head. So, all right. You've heard the request. I have a motion on that request. >> Thank you, Rick. Do I have a second? >> Second. >> Thank you, Jack. >> Could I mention one thing? >> Go right ahead. Um because um this is an emergency, we are not required to go through the normal purchasing process, but we do need to indicate in the records what the basis was for doing a special purchase was. And in this case, I think the one that fits the best is Indiana code 5-22-10-4, which is when emergency conditions exist that are a threat to public health, welfare, or safety.
030And I think talking about a water source that is currently undefined is probably going to fit that bucket unfortunately very nicely. >> Okay. All right. Any discussion? >> I I got some questions. I didn't completely understand what you were talking about the two different things and the insurance is going to cover one and can can you clear that up for me please? part of our part of our cost reimbursement. We will make a claim on this for insurance. >> Okay. >> Uh if this is determined to be tied to wastewater, which I don't believe it is, just like we dealt with in early April, our policy limits us to a $100,000 claim. So that additional dollars would have to come out of rainy day. If this is not determined to be wastewater, which I believe
031would be the case, it's it's It's fresh water. I just don't know where it's coming from. And that's that's my two cents worth. But if it's not, then the policy should cover the full amount and we would not be spending out of rainy day or any other funds. >> I got two things on that. First, if it is wastewater, is there a chance of going back and uh hitting FEMA up? >> That has already crossed my mind and I'll be ready to do that because I've been talking with FEMA about our current request. >> Okay. And second, you've got an adjuster on site. It sounds like >> the adjuster's already been on site and then he was supposed to dispatch a structural engineer and I called Jeff M at 5:00 this afternoon to ask if
032he had had a confirmation on his arrival and he has not yet. So I've already left messages this evening to find out where that engineer is because I I need him out here as quick as we can. You know, again, if you approve this, Cincinnati floor will be in here Monday morning and they're going to cut all that up and it's going to expose the entire area. But I need an engineer to tell me where's the water coming from or where do you think the water's coming from so we can plug the hole, so to speak, and then get ready to put a new floor or part of the floor back. Now, >> I know you don't have a crystal ball, but is there any source that could lead to uh no insurance coverage? I
033don't believe so. And I because when I first reported this to our insurance agent and then called their our local agent and then talked Wall-E to Ford and then talked to the EMC agent who is the provider through Wall-E there. There was no hesitation on their part and no they're they're just like aim. It's like there's got to be something leaking somewhere or something's moved or something's come loose or whatever. It's not it's not deliberate. It's not something I don't think is uninsurable or would be pointed back at us and saying like, "Nope, we're not touching this." >> Okay. Last question, I promise. U you you mentioned $1,000 deductible on the wastewater claim we already had. Is that it will be a thou or I'm sorry, I think it was $100,000. >> $100,000. >> Yeah,
034I misspoke. Is this the same all in the same category >> or is this a different >> thing? It won't be a $100,000 deductible. >> No, it would be Let me It would have been We were given a $100,000 check for the wastewater damage in April to repair what we needed part of our cost to repair the high school office and clean all of that up. The limit in that case, because it was wastewater, was $100,000. They were not going to give us any more. What I believe is that this is not wastewater. it is some other water source and that part of our policy should not be applied to us. And then again, this is me speculating after reading the policy, but I believe that once they determine that it's not a wastewater, that
035it will be a full coverage. So, we could see the 177,000 that I just reiterated as as our reimbursement for this process. >> Okay. Sorry to make you dig that far down, but I I wasn't clear on any of that really. >> No. And I as quick as this has happened, and again, my apologies for being sick and not being able to talk to you as much. Uh it it's we just tried to move as quick as we can and make sure we're doing everything legally as well. So, >> all right. Great question, Check. Thank you. You're welcome. Okay. Um All right. Any other discussion? Okay, hearing none, we'll proceed to vote. All those in favor, please raise your right hand. Motion passes six to zero. >> All right. Next up, uh personnel under personnel.
036Again, if it's the pleasure of the board, if you would like to take all items under personnel ABC, C as one motion, I would ask you to do so. If there's an item you would like to vote on individually, please let me know. We can do that as well. >> Are there any objections to taking them all together? >> Okay. None. No objections. All right. So, you've heard the request for personnel item A, B, and C. Uh, do I have a motion on that request? >> Thank you, Mark. Do I have a second? >> Second. >> Thank you, Jack. >> Any discussion? Okay. Hearing none, we'll proceed to vote. All those in favor, please raise your right hand. Motion passes six to zero. >> Uh, next on our agenda is board comments. We will start
037with Mark tonight. >> I was going to congratulate it children for sitting through the meeting. They did a great job. They were more attended than us. Um, the only other thing I want to say, I want to apologize. I won't be at the next meeting. Uh, the YMC is having our event that I missed for two years in a row because school board meeting. So, I'm gonna go to the Y. >> Okay. >> And I do want to point out that the Pavage children had cookies. So that did help. That did help. >> All right, Dina. >> No comment. >> Okay, Rick. >> Well, thank the cattle company presentation and no further comment. >> All right. Thank you, Liz. >> Yep. I'm just going to go off the book today and just say that I
038am so happy to be part of a board that doesn't really share a lot of political differences and we all come together and just care about the kids and that means a lot to me especially in times like these. >> Thank you, Liz. >> Uh Jack beat Edgewood. >> All right. Uh, thank you to our resident cheerleader, Jack White. Uh, yep. Uh, my comments tonight, um, yep, beat Edgewood, of course, tomorrow night. Um, again, uh, for our student presentation or our studentrun business and our with our presentation with the Valley Cattle Company tonight. Um, again, I'm very appreciative of all the work of staff across the district to provide a a plethora of experiences for our students and to uh change directions and and uh move move the although we we keep I asked if
039we're going to call it something other than the goat farm because I feel like the name the goat farm is just going to stick even though there won't be a goat out there. So, we'll have to come up with better name or just keep the old one. So, okay. Uh, administrator comments. Uh, not a lot. They're all at the the table tonight. Uh Chris >> Sam. All conference,000 shirts. I think they've already tracked six figures at this point. That's >> Wow. You said they did a good job. They They're good at everything, aren't they? >> They are good at everything. I know. I just Yeah, they they're very nervous. And then I told them that I had seen a couple emails from WTR and I think was it RGB? >> They nervous at that, but
040they I said, "I thought we should tell them ahead of time before But they're ready. They're ready enough. It's gonna be good. >> I'll share this real quick. I was at Boston last Friday or two weeks ago for for my work and I was sitting there waiting on the person to come get me and uh young man pulled up in a like a 68 Camaro convertible. Just he just looked the part, come in, was very professional. Come find out he was Patriot manufacturer. And that was impressive. It really was. So, I know the school doesn't supply the car or anything. It really had, but it, you know, it it just looked all right. Yeah, >> I got kicked out of it. >> Okay. All right. Thank you very much, Mr. Taylor. You're up next. >>
041Thank you uh for approving our Title One and Title Four grants. I will be uh working on the budget applications for both of those grants. Uh things are progressing well. We've just passed the midterm of quarter 1. Um and things are continuing to go smoothly this quarter. Um wanted to highlight uh Jim McMillan who is our class consultant. Um he provides support for our teachers throughout the district in our elementary schools. Um modeling lessons for them, working with them on instructional uh strategies, working with them on the um different lifelines and and character education that we have for it. He also has met with recently with some of our new teachers uh at Gosport and um helped to provide supports with them and then yesterday with all of the instructional assistants at uh Spencer Elementary
042School. So, we're very grateful for his support. He does a great job with professional development um for our staff um throughout all four elementary schools. So, thank you. Thank you, Mr. Taylor. Next on the agenda is the superintendent report comments. >> Uh very briefly, just again, I'll echo Jack's comments that uh good luck to our teams tomorrow evening as they uh take on Edgewood. Uh and uh if you are going to be in attendance, please get there before the game. I won't say anything else, but there is a salute to service and a spotlight on National Guard that I think you'll find very interesting tomorrow. So, uh, make sure you're there for that. Uh, also, I want to congratulate, uh, James Hutcherson, who's one of our registered behavior techs, uh, who, unbeknownst to me on
043this past Saturday, uh, was recognized as one of the featured educators at the Indiana Kennesaw State football game. Uh, ironically, my wife was also honored and uh I was had enough Advil and medicine in me that I didn't recognize him until uh uh they said Spencer Elementary and I was like, "Oh, yeah, that's who I thought that was." So, but congratulations to James. Uh those are nominations by students. So, they do not know who nominate them. Uh they just asked to show up. So that says a lot about uh his uh impact to our students because he just began just very shortly ago. So we look at that. Um also as Chris alluded to uh our students will be presenting next Monday the 15th at the convention center for uh the school board and superintendent's
044fall conference and looking forward to that. Uh we have been in contact with channel 13 and WRTV uh trying to coers them to come down and do a positive spotlight on student engagement at this level. Uh and I should know something tomorrow. Uh so I'll pass that along uh as well. So but again thanks to them also thanks to uh Mrs. Meyers and Mr. Bolting House. I know uh they have spent a great deal of time last year as they started researching and talking to the a advisory board about how to model this and how to what what direction to move and it was not just done in haste uh in respect to uh a goat population changing to something else. You know, I know they had a very deep and detailed discussion about chickens
045and uh um once they did their research and found out that they had to be registered with the USDA for chickens and eggs, they quickly dropped that. So, uh this is something that uh is a learning experience for them and I think we'll just again expand work-based learning uh for our students uh uh throughout the grade levels. So, but that is all I have. >> Okay. Thank you very much. This time I'd entertain a motion on adjournment. >> Move to adjurnn. >> Thank you, Rick. Do I have a second? >> Second. >> Thank you, Liz. Is there any discussion? Okay, hearing none. We'll proceed to vote. All those in favor of adjournment, please raise your right hand. Motion passes six to zero. We are now adjourned. Are there any public comments? Okay. Thank you everybody
