All right, next up is new business. Um and I will let Ms. O'Brien talk on that. Okay, um the the
002first item under new business is the teacher residency grant stipends. Um in partnership with IU East, um we have received the teacher residency grant. Part of that grant, um it supports the teacher residency program, um again between Northeastern and and IU East. Um it's The funds are used to support and sustain in development for existing teacher residency opportunities. Um so the grant pays for pays student teachers, but it also um pays a stipend to their cooperating teacher um to receive a stipend each semester. So we did have four teachers um that participated and hosted student teachers, and so I'm asking for your approval to go ahead and just be able to distribute those stipends. Who are the four teachers? Megan Hollinger, Carrie Engles, Laura Van Pelt, and Sarah Williams. Do you know how many we
003usually have a year? I mean, is there a limit that we can take or No, it was we have other student teachers that could be from from other universities. This is just the student teachers that were placed through IUB as part of this grant. And that full amount will be used for How's that broken up? It's the student teachers also get get a stipend as well. So there's eight people. Yes, and and you approved this last semester. So the funds are not just for this grant. So does that make sense? You're approving tonight is just for this semester. The grant is for the school year. >> using the full amount just for these eight people. >> No. Okay, that's what I was asking. So you did the same approval in the fall for the the
004teachers that had student teachers in the fall. So the money is for all of the student teachers and all the cooperating teachers for the whole year. Okay. Yes. Oh, I saw that one. Yeah.

That's a good question. All right, the next item on the agenda is excessive educational fund transfer list. Um you'll see attached a notice that we received. Um And part of the requirement um from
005the Department of Ed that we publicly acknowledge um the receipt of this and it will be reflected in the board minutes. Um the percentage is 15%. Um we were at 16.97% for the transfers. Um if you'll recall, um and this is for last year. So, but at the November 19th um 2025 meeting, the board approved a 15% transfer from the education fund to the operation fund, which is the maximum recommended amount in Indiana. So, um this is going to be after that we um have passed a resolution for making sure that we are at that 15% for this year.

So, we have the volume 38. It covers the non-discrimination and this is for first reading. Do we have any questions? Do you know if I have time to review it? And just to clarify, it is it is the same policy. It's numbered differently because it's the non-discrimination policy, so it shows up in different categories. So, it'll be in administration and support staff and professional staff. But, it is intentional that it's the same policy because we want to make sure that it's the same in each of those categories. >> And when I saw it was the same, I was like, oh, I
007need to say something just in case it was just got copy and pasted wrong or whatever. Yeah. No, that was the reason. Are we ready to just approve them or do you want it to go to second reading?

It's really fall weather. So, >> I'll take less rain for
008sure. And I'm sure they want the kids out of the building and more out on the playground. So, hopefully they get that soon and all the field trips coming up.
