We are going to [Music] remove number of site. The other item. All right. So, we'll need a motion to approve the inos. Next we have several meetings here. So we have our April 3rd exil and executive board meet session meeting I know you'll have to addition Thank you. So next I kind of got nominated for the speakers. So we both middle school and high school in the last month. Um I'll start with the high school teams. So we had a m team of Trevor and Vince. Trevor's not here at the moment. Vince is standing over here. Um they placed third in the area

002competition, 19th overall in the state. Our science team was Philip Mayer, Trevor Schwarz, Chris Espinosa, and Ethan Crockett. Three of them are here. They were third in the area competition, ninth overall in the state. And then our social studies team of Trevor Schwarz, Zack Brunstroke, Kaden Hurst, Vince Loff, and Quinton. Vince is the only one of our um social studies team. They were second at the area competition, fourth overall after the area competitions. This past Saturday, they went to state at Purdue and they came in finalized. It was fourth overall for our class. And then when we tallied all the scores, they would have been eighth in the state of all the classes. So the big schools, the little schools, everybody. So they did really well. Can we have Miss Ever, can we have them

003come on out like so we can all appreciate them. That's impressive. So all right. And then we also have middle school that competed. We have three of our middle school team here going up. It was really weird. Our high school team was all guys. Our middle school team was all girls for middle school. Um, that was a week ago this past Saturday. We had the ones we have here. Our English team of Sophie Kipper and Mackenzie Fry. They placed first at the area competition are and are state champions for the second year in a row in the English um class. Nice. So, our um science team was Jocelyn James, Atlanta Harshman, and Brihagen, first in the area competition, third overall in the state. Social studies team of Emma Fleek, Mackenzie Fry, and Briella Hill, they

004were first in the area and 28th overall in the state. For math, Lexi Linder, and Sophie Kiper were first in the area and 19th overall in the state. And that math stuff was crazy this year. It was hard. Um, and then for the interdisciplinary team, which was a mix of all the different teams, they were first in the area and sixth overall in the state, which is pretty impressive cuz that's a mix of all the different c um subject areas. And overall, the middle school team was in the top 10 for the entire state for our class. It's awesome. Congratulations and thanks Miss Everett for the coaching too and all the coaches that takes a lot of time. I will tell you those two ladies for English did all the work. They remember stuff I

005had no idea about. Okay. All right. We haven't fully recovered yet. All right. I'm um Cherylyn Boots and I'm the BPA advisor. And first of all, we just want to say thank you so much um to the school and the board and um Mrs. ish and and just everyone who has supported us um both encouraging us and financially. Um we just got back from our national trip to Orlando and the kids just wanted to share a little bit um about their trip and and where they placed and everything. Hi, I'm Cash Rumple and I was on the parliamentary procedure team and on top of that I also qualified to compete in extemporaneous public speaking which with extemporaneous public speaking that's where you draw a topic the day of the contest that you do not know

006beforehand and you are given 10 minutes to prepare a 2 to four minute speech that you then give to a judge. And with my competition, I placed seven in my division, but unfortunately didn't qualify for finals. Hi everyone, I'm Addison Gilbert and I just want to talk about the main reason that we all went down to Florida was the parliamentary procedure competition. So there's essentially two parts to the competition. The first part is the meeting portion or the presentation. So, we get a set agenda of different motions and um different things that we're supposed to perform as a team and we get 15 minutes to prep and then we go in front of a panel of judges and present that meeting to them and then afterwards we get a question and answer session. There's three

007different questions that are asked about the things that we did within the meeting. I'm Ella Bloom. And the second portion of uh the contest is a 25 question quiz um about pieces of Robert's W of Order, the book that Parley is based on. Um I'm Ally Simon. And so after we do those these two things, um we patiently wait for call backs. So they literally just post a piece of paper with the school's name on it. Um and so for like six hours, we just had to sit there and hope that we made call backs. And so we found out that we made callbacks at 11:15 at night. Um, and so that meant that we were top 12 in the nation, which was truly incredible. I'm Mason Frriy and another part of our competition was

008the awards ceremony which was on Saturday night where we went back into the convention center with all the other students from all over the world or all over the country. And there were lots of screens that plastered our school's name and where we were from and all of our achievements. And then we went on stage and got recognized. And then then we placed sixth in the nation out of all the parliamentary procedure teams. My name is Alyssa Fricy and um in conclusion, we just want to thank you guys so much for your support and we wouldn't be able to be here without you guys. And we also want to say thank you to Mrs. Boots, our BPA advisor, and she got recognized for 30 years of being a BPA advisor. So, and she was our

009mom the whole trip. So, we just want to thank you guys. Okay. Thank you. Do you have any questions for the kids? Anything about the trip where we've been? I'd just like to say thanks for representing us so well and this is not the first year that's happened. So tell them how many years back to back to back has this is your third year. Y that's awesome. So third year having a parley team and third year making it to nationals. So I'd say it's a pretty big pretty big accomplishment. Look out Nashville. All right. Thank you guys. I always think we should do that in the end because it's so exciting. And now I I feel like we're boring people with the other information, but it's fun to celebrate the kids. So, all right, we're

010going to move on to the finance board action items. And first, we have the approval of the payment vouchers and fund reports. Uh I know that when Don gave those to us, um she did mention we have a couple of large um construction payments that were on there. Uh but Don, did you have anything else that you wanted to share with us? No, it's just uh starting to wrap up some of the supplies and orders for this school year. Um and that's basically what it is so far. Okay. Any questions? Nope. Yep. Nope. I do. So I I just want to get something maybe just put it in the minutes that that it's in there um to talk about. I know in the past that we've always some of that interest varying accounts that we

011have we leave it in the operations fund and doing it and I know with obviously the cuts that we have coming forward from the state um and things like that. I just maybe want to maybe just talk about the idea of maybe moving that interest income that we receive from those accounts over to rainy day fund just so we don't maybe completely eliminate that rainy day fund in the future as we start doing projects and things like that around here for those funds. Um, again, nothing to that we have to discuss tonight by any means, but maybe just get it in the minutes to where we can have that open discussion and see if that's an opportunity for us to maybe still put a little bit of money away. Um, and not maybe those large

012amounts that we are used to, but maybe smaller amounts on a monthly basis to come close to those larger amounts. Um, okay. And it's six of one, half a dozen of the other, but sometimes if we just take a little piece here or there, maybe it's not as detrimental as hammering it one big time. So, just a suggestion of something maybe to talk about in the future. Make note of that. Did anyone else have any uh questions, comments about the reports or the vouchers or anything on those? If not, then we'll need a motion to approve the vouchers and fund reports. I'll make the motion for the approval of the payment vouchers and fund reports. I'll second. All in favor? I I oppose. All right. Motion carries. Uh next we have the approval to purchase

013and the first three items we'll go ahead and take together. Um I know that you've all received the copy machine quotes that Don has passed along to us. Um, our old copy machines seem to have just really like gone way past our expectations and it is time to replace those before we have a problem. Correct. A big problem. There's three machines that we have well over 3 million copies through. Um, and I believe we have purchased those in 17 and 18. So, we have we have gotten our use out of those machines and it's getting to the point where the repair man can't repair anymore. So, um I know it's at the end of the school year, but they'll be here then for the beginning of the school year. Um we'll get that ready for

014the summer. Yeah. So, will they probably be delivered in summer and then like people can be trained if there's any training that needs to be done? We we generally keep the same style of machines. So there is very little uh training that needs to take place on that. So we should be good to go. All right. Thank you and thanks for getting those quotes together for us. Um next we have iPads, iPad cases, and warranties. And I know Greg has a lot of information he's given us on that, but this is grades two, five, and nine. Is that correct? It's our annual student device refresh grades 2, five, and nine. Yes. Okay. With cases like that. And that's just the same thing that we we keep up with every year. Correct. Correct. Yes. Okay. So,

015uh I know you all had the the quote information for costs and things. If you have any questions um that we haven't addressed, now would be the time. Great. Can you get us a discount like they do on the copy? Maybe a lot. All right. So, those three items, let's take those together if is there a motion to approve those purchases. I'll make motion purchase the copier iPads and cases. I'll second. All in favor? Opposed? All right. Motion carries. Uh, next we have a maintenance item. Uh, Mr. McDonald, I thought you might want to speak to that. Uh, the water heater auto shut off flat. A couple weeks ago, right before we left for the day, we had a water heater break a fitting off the top and it's inch and a half water line.

016Um, Katie seen it. So, the amount of water that was put out was unbelievable. We got to thinking if that happens during the night or over the weekend, that's going to be a mess. So, um, I price these on six of our biggest water heaters. Um, we'll see how that goes. I may add them to all. Not sure yet. We're getting two new ones in the pool. Um, I'll go ahead and ask that that be installed during the project time, but this will cover six of our biggest ones throughout the school. All right. Thanks for looking into that for us. Obviously is a big big problem if we've got water everywhere. All right. Are there any questions for Todd on that? All right. If not, we need a motion to um purchase the water heater

017auto shut off valves. I'll make the motion. I'll second. All in favor? I opposed. All right. Motion carries. Um next we have the approval of ourus and the first one is with uh Purdue Fort Wayne University and Mrs. ish. I believe this is just the courses offered through PFW like we review every year. Correct. And it's for our college 430. So they'll be our partner university. All right. And then the Huntington University one is about placement of university students. Is that correct? Student teaching. For student teaching. Okay. All right. Anything of note in there that we need to point out? No, we're excited to have student teachers. Um we're hoping to place someone in our ACT department. Okay. So that would be a good experience for a student teacher. Okay. All right. Um any questions

018or discussion about theus that we had um to review and read through? [Music] If not, we'll need a motion to approve. I'll make that motion to approve the noise. I'll second. Okay. All in favor? Opposed? All right. Motion carries. Um, next is our approval of contract and this is the API renewal. Um, Debbie, you might have more information on that than anyone else. I'm not sure, but if you'd like to speak to that. Yeah, Aptagy is basically the hub of all of our school communications. Um, it manages our website, sends out our text messages, um, and manages some of our social things. So, um, we've gotten, um, great customer service from them. I meet with the rep monthly to go over updates and um they're very responsive to everything to keep us up and running

019anytime we come across a little issue. So very happy with them. Okay. Yeah, it's just our renewal. I don't know. We've been with them for quite a while, right? Uh 2018. Okay. No, 19. I think 2018 or 19. A while before we were very grateful in place. Yeah. Okay. Any questions for Debbie about that renewal that we received? All right. If not, we need a motion to approve the aigy. I'll make that motion. Second. All in favor? I opposed. All right. Motion carries. Um, next we have approval of gr a grant and this was for our BPA group. um from the Adams County Community Foundation. Um they gave our students a $600 grant uh to go towards the national trip that we just heard about. Um so that was very nice and we thank them

020for that and now we just need to approve that grant. Accept it. Is there a motion? I'll make the motion to approve it or accept the grant. I'll second it. All in favor? I opposed. All right, motion carries. All right, next we have five different donations here. And I think that we will just take all of those together. Um, first is the tighter test. Is that correct, Arita? Okay. And that was through the Adams County Health Department and they provided that to our staff um to check on measles vaccinations. Correct. And the immunity that if they're immune or not to the measles. Yes. Okay. All right. So they provided that and both of those testing times are over, correct? Like are they passed? It's Yeah, we had one our second one was Monday. Okay. All

021right. So like to thank them for that for providing that for our staff so we know um the status of people and they can get that taken care of if they uh want to. And the next one is our comp the competition shirts and this is for the anatomage tournament in Nevada that Mr. Dyn is taking his students to that we'll be approving in a little bit here. Um, Adam's Memorial donated some money so that his students, I believe there's four of them going can get their their tournament competition shirts. And then there was another donation towards the tournament from um the Decatur Optimus Club and to for those students to be able to go and then Demage Properties also gave towards that national tournament that's at the end of May. Mrs. Ish, has Mr.

022Dyn gone to this before and I just don't remember this? No, this is their first time to qualify. So, they've done the competition in the past. This is their first time to qualify for nationals. Okay. I didn't recall ever seeing this on the on here before. Okay. So, it's exciting that we get to send four students. Are they all upper classmen? Is in this? No. And they've really worked hard for this. It's um a pretty competitive thing to qualify for, which is why it's taken us a little bit to get there. Um but they've worked really hard, so we're excited to send them. Okay. All right. So those groups that um gave are giving towards that again were Decator Optimus Club, Adams Memorial, and Demage Properties. We want to thank them all for helping our

023students get to that point. Uh we also had a headphone iPad headphone donation of $1,550. This was an anonymous donor, so we want to thank them for um looking out for this class and and giving them the the headphones. Anybody have any questions or did I miss anything there with all those donations that we want to point out? All right, we will need a motion to approve the five donations. I'll make a motion. I'll second that. All in favor? I opposed. All right, motion carries. Next, we have approval to dispose. And it looks like we have a a central office shredder that has is dying or has died.

Um taking on the challenge of just filling in for us, doing a lot of extra things and spending a lot of extra time. So just to say thank you, we wanted to do this uh onetime stipen for you. So we really really

025appreciate all that you stepped in to do for us at the end of the year. And you've done a great job by the way, too. I didn't mention that. All right. Is there a motion to approve this stipend?

So, these are just both outdated textbooks that need to be updated for the courses. Okay. Yeah. The other one is agriculture and I think we could probably just take those together. Um, I don't know if anyone had any questions about those recommendations we were given for the textbooks, but like it's just an outdated textbook we need to get taken care of or a couple of them. All right, we'll need a motion to approve those textbooks. I'll make a motion. I'll

028second. Okay, all in favor? Opposed? All right, motion carries. Uh, next we have our approval of the resolution. This is our reappropriations resolution.

030have a list of six different camps that you all you all seen all the forms for. I know you you've gotten to look at those and see when those are.

Um we have a girls and boys tennis camp that will be coming uh at the end of or during the summer. A girls basketball camp grades 1 through six. Looked like like they had lots of dates for summer if I'm if I read that correctly. Um and boys basketball camp is also coming up. football camp a little bit in their later July for that one for grades 1 through eight and then we had uh band camp for grades 5 through 8. Uh in

031looking through those, did anyone have any questions about anything on this camp information that we received? Looked to me like it was all very beneficial things and all really affordable prices for our families. So hopefully there's a lot of kids who get to take advantage of those. Oh, Jeff, did you have anything that you wanted to say about or add into that? Well, I'm sorry. I'm sitting here going down through the list. I don't know if there's anything I want to add. We're just we're just blessed with head coaches that do take the time to help develop the younger programs and that I think that's what makes Adam Central Abentral. Yeah. Yeah. All of them will be very beneficial for the kids, I'm sure. All right. Um, is there a motion to approve the summer

We really don't have anything out of the ordinary um coming this summer. Okay. So, all right. Did anyone have any questions about anything on that list? It's quite extensive. Our kids will be busy. Do we um the Wisconsin Dells and the Parkway because they're out of state, does that have to be approved separately on

033the out of state trips or can that be approved all lumped in together? We've approved them together before years past. Okay. I think the Wisconsin Dells one is one that um Mr. McClur does regularly. Yeah. It's not the new one, but um I looked, at least I looked in the last couple years, and it looked like we approved them all. Okay. All right. Did that answer my question? All right. Well, let's go ahead and do the athletic summer trips then. We'll do that all in one lump there together. Um unless anyone has any questions on that. All right. Is there a motion to approve the summer trips? Make a motion. Second. All right. All in favor? I I opposed. Okay. Motion carries.

034science students again going to the tournament in Nevada that we spoke of early um earlier this evening. Um May 29th through June 1st. And good luck to Mr. Dian and his four students going. That'll be exciting to hear when they come back how that has gone. Uh, and then we have an FFA officer retreat that's at Brown County Park in Nashville, Indiana, June 29th through July 1st. So, we all had that information to look over. Any questions on that? Okay. If not, then we will need a motion to approve the overnight and out ofate trips. I'll make the motion to approve. Second. All in favor? Opposed? Okay. Motion carries. All right. We're moving on to the personnel board action items and we have the approval of a retirement from Mrs. Debbie for one of our

035library assistants. Debbie, do you have anything that you'd want to add there? Um, she has only worked with us for um shortly well. She got hired the year of COVID. Um, but she has made a huge impression on all of our staff. She is such a diligent worker. I don't know how we're ever going to replace her. Um, and the staff love her. So, um, she's going to be sorely missed, but um, we know she is so looking forward to retirement and she has reminded us almost every day this year. Then I guess it's time. All right. Well, yeah, we we do want to thank Debbie for for being here. I always see her all over the building when I'm here and um know that she does have an impact. So, she will be missed.

036Um unfortunately, we do need to approve her retirement. So, we'll need a motion for that. I'll make a motion to approve her retirement. I'll second it. All in favor? I opposed. Okay. Enjoy that.

We need a motion to approve me u the resignation of Mrs. Carico. I'll make the motion. Second. All in favor? I opposed. Okay. Motion carries. Um next is Mr. Tony Curry, wrestling coach. Um, Tony's had an outstanding career as a

038wrestler at Adam Central and as a coach, and I would even go so far as to say because he was coach of the year in Indiana, uh, most likely a Hall of Famer in Indiana. So, as we get ready to interview starting tomorrow, we realize how big the shoes are to fill. Um, but I just like to personally thank Tony for all that he has done starting with the club coming up helping the middle school, high school. I mean, he's he's devoted a lot of time to Adam Central Wrestling and a lot of our successes because of people like that. So, just want to say thank you. Okay. All right. Um, we'll need a motion to approve um Tony's resignation. I'll make that motion. I'll second it. All in favor? I opposed. I will need

Um and I do just want to thank honestly everybody for all the work that they've done. Um people tell me often that things are are running very smoothly and I will always say it is thanks to everybody here at Adam

051Central. Um central office keeps me like always steered in the right direction. So, I appreciate that. Kristen, Mary are keeping the elementary um going smoothly. Um and we're touching base regularly, which I appreciate. Um, we've got Todd keeping the building running um with nothing for me at all. So, that's great. I appreciate that. Donald worked on our measles plan um which could have been a big deal, but like with all the organization um that isn't as concerning either. Greg and Debbie are working on those end of the year device collections. And then of course I've got to thank um my Graham, Cindy, Susie, Sh Megan, Cara, Sarah who are picking up a lot. um it's kind of falling off of my plate and onto airs and so I appreciate all that they've done as well.

052Um and teachers, students, community um honestly it's everybody that makes every day a great day to be a jet. So thanks. Okay, thank you. Todd, do you want to share updates with us? Yeah. Um well, the regular stuff we're officially in set up and tear down chair season. Um, seems like every night we got something going on, but that that means summer's coming, so nobody complains. Um, summer crews ready to go. Um, Kathy and me are working on what areas we're going to start and the hours everybody's going to work. It's kind of a hassle with people taking vacations and stuff, but um, we'll make it through it. Plus, we got three projects going on this summer, so it's going to be kind of hit and miss. Um, speaking of the projects, the 400 uh

053edition um continues to basically wrap up. Um, we're waiting on a few uh items. Um, couple faucets and the display cases are not in yet, but other than that, everything's pretty much here. Um, Greg and Blae, I think, have some IT people coming in next week to get all that done. Um the asphalt and landscaping. Um the weather's kind of been messing with us on that, but but it'll uh next week's looking good for that. Uh the pool, um not much is happening back there since the blasting's going on, the water blasting. Um I do have some good news. They did not have to do as much as they originally thought. So I'm not going to say there's a savings because every time I say that, but they did not do as much as they

054originally thought. So hopefully hopefully that helps us out. It's a mess. It's going to take them the rest of the week to clean all that sand out of there, but uh they seem to know what they're doing. Um the HBAC project for the elementary this year, we had a kickoff meeting this morning. Um they're uh getting all of the logistics figured out for that. It's going to be an extremely tight time frame on that. So we we just hope that everything goes as planned. Um the dock area on the west side of the building is going to be their basically their group area to set up everything. Um it shouldn't affect any parking or anything like that over there. Um they're going to have everything blocked off um with caution tape and vis everything off.

055Um we've worked with Hel before on projects like this and it's usually gone pretty well. So, I don't I don't foresee any issues there. Um, other than that, I think that's about it. So, I can't believe end of the year here either. When is that starting? You might have just said it and I missed. Right. Right after school. Right after school. Okay. Yeah. Right away. And the pool when you're talking about maybe not quite as much. You're talking about that paint problem. Correct. That trying to Correct. All right. Good. All right. Sounds good. All right. We're going to move on to our other matters properly presented. Um, first just a little update on the interim superintendent. Uh, we're going to welcome Brent Brent Layman tonight and thank you for being here tonight, Brent. Um, he

056uh is we're we're asking Audrey to prepare a contract because we've been in some discussion and um start date tenatively right now is May 28th. So Audra is going to work on that for us and having that prepared for our June meeting. Um so we will look forward to approving that next month and thanks a lot for agreeing to help us out. We appreciate it. Um also just another update, our board is going to start using um a university search team to help us in finding a superintendent. Um we are starting that process. We're meeting with a representative on Monday. Um, so we will hopefully be looking at a timeline. You know, right now we're just not 100% sure. We want to be making sure that we're making the right decisions, taking our time and

057um in finding everyone out there who is interested and we know that we need some assistance in doing that. Um, so they're the experts and I believe from others who were on the board that that is who you used last time, correct? Mhm. And so we will um consult with them and then we will try to keep everyone updated as to, you know, when we finally do know a little bit more of what we feel like is is a realistic timeline. Um but no, we're looking forward to that and we're also looking forward to having an interim and I'm sure that sure that Mrs. Ish is looking forward to that as well so she can get back to her regular duties more. Um anyone else from the board have anything you want to add? All

058right, then we will need a motion to adjurnn. I'll make that motion. Second. All in favor? Opposed? Okay, motion carries. Our next meeting will be once we're all out of school. Uh June 10th, Tuesday night right here. So, thank you all for coming tonight. We appreciate seeing you and your support.
