001Let's stand alsisible and justice all As we begin our reading this evening, we would like to welcome our first online attendees. We are now live streaming this meeting and so we'd like to welcome all of you and that recording or the recording will be available for another days.

And note, we will continue to tweet and improve our online live stream as as we get better at this. And also to our board, this is being recorded history. So it will be on our website within the next week. Uh next few days we get it uploaded and people can find
002it once. Thank you. >> Next item on the agenda would be public and thank you. We do have one community member that would like to speak today. Uh so a quick note before we start that the Greenwood Community School Corporation School Board of Trustees recognizes the value of public office in educational issues and the importance of allowing members of the Greenwood community to express themselves on school matters. Board policy allows for green school parents, employees and taxpayers to speak at meetings. The board permits comments that are respectful do not name school directly and are addressed to the board as speakers should have signed up prior to starting provide their name, address, district. Each speaker will be called and we ask that you come forward to address the board. The time limit for each speaker is
003three minutes to total public comment section of time at 30 minutes. The board ask that de delegations around a topic have one or two speak on behalf of the group. We do have missed up to speak today. Miss Glenn, if you can walk to your right, we have open table there. >> I think you all beat me to the punch. I could say I could check already two things off my lips. One was u the entrance and exit for school studies. It would be very difficult and if you have any suggestions you might want to send it out to parents on if you find out a good way to get here all the schools and how to get and I don't know how that can impact band practice after afterwards. I have no idea. I
004know they'll be done with band camp before that starts. So if you know the mayor. I just noticed I got on social media. He suggestion about still learning to have it streamlined and I went so um also to make a note that the school board meeting updated May has been skipped. There's nothing on there for May and that could happen and then um The other thing I suggested I was wondering about, you know, in the past I talked about Franklin has a wonderful website with all of their documents on there and I'd like to model ours after that and I was wondering wouldn't this be a great opportunity for students to learn about content creations, talking to people, working with someone and I know they help out in other classes. Could they upload things? Could
005they get the meeting posted typed up or whatever. And it could be part of someone's class. I know we carve out in other classes, you know, they help out with I I don't know. Just a thought because I know you say it's easier said than done trying to load all that up, right? So, that was an idea. Um, also what is the difference is are there school board working meetings that the public can sit in? I mean, it just can't just be there. >> I'm sorry. >> Yes, you do. Thank you very much. That's it. Thank you. I'm excited about the screening of the meetings. >> Well done. >> Sounds good. >> I will take your comments and adisement and continue to move forward. Item number two on our agenda will be the consent agenda.
006We have a motion to approve. Any comments? All favor say I. Item number three, approval of out of state field trip. >> Uh yes, I believe this is our first uh field trip request that will be either overnight. high school choir annually take a trip to Cincinnati and do a performance or a contest if you will and then I think it's been so that I'm I have a motion to approve the field trip. Any comments or questions on this? All favor say I. Ime number four, approval of policies on street. >> Sure. So for our newer members, we have our working policies that try to update a revision or new policy added. We bring it to the board first reading a month to look at it, adjust it, ask questions, make changes if necessary, and
007then it will come back next month. We have several update. What I did sequence to you this time. Um, next time there'll be substantially more first reading. These primarily are revisions. For example, there's a dress code that our sport staff certified staff administrators exact same policies just category and it has an update. What they did was they appear to develop. So some of our reisions are simple. That's what this primarily is. So I thought this would just be a good members introduction talk a little bit policies and then we'll see it. A motion to approve on street. Anyem number five, the approval of sports staff. Uh yes, for your consideration last month, as you know, we had most of our Our student handbooks were middle high school transportation bus drivers all those were there support
008staff was not this one was added for this month with just a few changes if you will and I can tell you the updates include basically a description of who qualifies as a support staff member that was added bringing in some of our pts different people from earlywood So we wanted to different different also requirement to make sure your background check everything's finalized starting putting that in words that kind of have it down there will be no vacations once you turn in a two week resation after that point and then on dual employment some of our sub subcontract This is really due to the affordable care act. Our subcontractors such as Kelly services. you have an employee that also Are there any comments? >> I do have one question. You said there will be no.
009Yeah. So if I I am a sports member and I turn in my resation All in favor say I number six approval of community health school healthare services agreements. >> Thank you Mr. Scher. for you is all of our existing community health that's been in place for many years here as part of their partnership program. And so they do provide our high school trainer um as well as our employee wellness center that we share with Clark that we split that pleasure that prioritize You know, it's just something that was necessary to provide support to the high school for some of those larger events to ensure that we have coverage that is going to be paid for by the district. We needed to review and then update the entire agreement. Some of their rates went up
010accordingly which is usually contracted. Um so I'm happy to answer this very We're here to approve network schools. Any comments or questions? I have one question. Is this an annual renew Yeah. So, it's ongoing unless you need a notice period. >> I'm sorry. All say it. I have You're up for number seven. >> Thank you, Mr. Scher. This is the second meeting in our array of three meetings to go through the bond issuance process for renovation maintenance project high school. And so the first resolution is essentially you officially approving the resolution after we legal notice the board to determine that there's a need for this project and that is for the ISO project and for the maintenance project. So we discussed in our meeting. Um so after we advertise now that period consider those next
011step the first and second resolution. The second resolution um is the school corporation is funding this lease financing with corporation youroration members are Mr. Taylor, Mr. Mr. has appointed those in the past and essentially this is approving the localoration as well as the um the building for how it's going to fund that which is purchasing it back to itself. So this resolution approves all of the lease pieces of that arrangement. And then the last is the resolution that sort of be authorizing the building corporation and those numbers that I deal. They can be considered or voted on together. So there are some new pieces as you can see that will happen next month to approve the 202 projects. I will say that I did ask questions this weekend. I'll talk to Mr. Taylor first because
012he's in the chair and we're looking at next week's time. Anybody else? All say hi. Next section of our meeting will be our reports. will start in social lab. >> Not a whole lot right now, but I was able to go and I did a tour of the campus and very impressed with all that they offer students. It's just a great opportunity to give kids different options. ISDA is the next section. Just one little comments to share. I heard that there is an opening for the region direct position our regions of interesting that role they're looking at applications the applications will close by the end of this week but if you want more information comes in your miss term start in September this year that you're interested also since legisl started July one but I
013really kind of looked for him to start I went to all the buildings talking to the staff drivers kind of say thank you storm that went through about four trees down across the district and our grounds guys um just I called at 7 and they were out with chainsaws out and about working. So just Sometimes they're not appreciated by some, but I said they're appreciated by me. And I think that when they're when they're doing the job, people when they can see the same way, the other just kind of updated kind of the conversation about the roundabouts. It's the uh planning for the unexpected. Um and we'll see next next month by report. So lot of good things going on across the district. >> Thank you. >> Director of teaching learning. >> Well, first listening
014to her principles, the teachers focus to listen and to offer each one of those um I've been very blessed to be able to attend five question development since I've been here my first nine days. So I have been integrated STEM computer science I learned checkpoints um also the first time of math it's been really great to sit down with teachers starting some of the curriculum they already have support and go deeper instruction that's been really great um I also talked to one of our elementary principles so that has been fun they talk about support they need as well as what they feel like they want to So, I think that's really wonderful. Um, and as facings and tomorrow, the director student services. Today we had a full day professional development as well. We have bus
015drivers, teachers, support staff for behavior training and just grateful drivers to listen to them as well. We have 20 people in attendance. Um Friday we have signing for academic teachers for students. We have 65 teachers coming Friday to just work on ways to just to use exciting time everyone last Friday opens up cliffhanger for about four months and so 90% of our staff has already done that on their own so thankful for that thankful for our team and their support as to start assigning users on Fridays. I'm getting these emails on Friday morning. So, that's really nice initiative. So, um it's been nice to feel better about that every day. So, those will continue probably up until we start school. It's great to see their faces and a little bit more relaxed >> ears really
016teachers all six of our buildings all academic areas. that will come in and learn from two of our teachers and Angel Jones at the high school to come train themselves. So that's exciting. This is just a new way since 19. So this is the first wave like I said and Angel excited. two more teachers trained so they can learn how to give training to our teachers and you're welcome. >> Thank you. Appreciate it. Um it's been a busy summer. We've had a lot of work with getting devices prepped and ready for the school year. We're right on schedule all that and summer preparations going really well. Um we're towards the end of the door security door upgrade project. Um couple little punch list items we're still working through but it's going to be ready to
017go for school and we're really excited about the functionality and security that gives our students and staff here. And then like some other new people here, I've been meeting with not only my team but across the district with other uh staff, principles, guidance counselors in person, on phone and say hi just develop those relationships and trying to get my feet wet and learn way nine days here and it's it's been really good. Thank you. Chief financial officer >> really quite a bit ground which is great related to the support our coordinator and deputy treasurer took some steps this accessual training that folks get it way for us to document electronically. People have seen it. make sure people are getting all the patients this year. But also the budget and I know that hearing all working
018with Mr. This is a very year for us. So there's a lot of front. >> Sure. Um, first I'd like to say welcome to our newest staff members. And I laughed when I sat down with you all correct seats. >> It's okay. We started but I just want to say thank you guys on the trees. He was out working alongside a little new for us. Mrs. Dr. Jackson had several PS couple of those Lisa had to reschedu. So unfortunately came after July 1. So that's why she n teachers and just herself part of our community teaching that's been good this week two or three times I walked in and said hey I need something neighbor a good job special programs got on me and I I did my training before July one day and I
019was excited. I wasn't going to tell you I was going to put my poster up but she already but those are important things for us to do. She's been on top of it. I appreciate that. I want to say thank you to our foundation. They sponsored some kindergarten nights throughout the district and those have been really successful. called obstacles principles for our kindergarten students just welcoming the next group. So, thank you to them. And it is good to see our kids back. Not just the kindergarters, but our our kids throughout the district at the high school. We see the bands have been out this last week or so. It's nice to hear them see them in the morning. Actually, our football right now, the weight and running stuff. So, it's just good to see kids
020going back. That leads to remember school does start July 30th. It's kind of quick. If you haven't registered yet, to our online do that please just helps us get our class registrations and our classes classrooms all set up in a timely fashion and then I will address the uh roundabout a little bit Smith Valley is closing on or about July 26 will close at a crew traffic construction is slated to begin on the July 28th. So again, if you think the week of July 28th is also the same week we have our first day of school. One thing I would say to our parents and anybody, the only way you can get to the high school is from US 31 headed west. So we will always have access to both buildings. Our buses will be
021able to get to where they need to get to. just ask for some patience and grace as we learn how it will impact our bus routes our car lines things like that it's not going to be pretty know that I do think some of the after school practices won't be as bad but I do think pick up all time will be a little interesting the first week or two I hope our kids leave early I think is the thing leave early it's usually anyway on a good day. So this will just compound that and then we will make adjustments as we need to try to be as flexible as we can. encourage people to leave early tomorrow. It's coming. The city reached out to us last Thursday or Friday and finally said start officially. So
022we have just found out how we kind of communicate that to our principles and we'll do the best we can do a city of Greenwood project school project. So it's just not the timing the city would want or we want 60 days and it's over. So that's announcements. We've been talking about high school. What about same goth? completely shut down. So even middle school finds transfer students up middle school or even west. So it will take a little bit of time off right here. take time will be back on main street. So again so much and I will just say too there is a lot of road construction in the city. US1 has road construction. Old Meridian Street is partially shut down at times for some new electrical installations. Old townwood has water coming in
023water. So there's a lot stressful. I stress the same way. Our bus driver really worried about our school very close together. We get a little taste of the other district. Okay. Item number is other name. So the board to that 7:36 members sign
