001Mr. Hood here. Mrs. Slate here. Mrs. Wood here. Thank you. Now, I can hear you. Yes, Brad. Yes, we can hear you. Okay. And our first um item where we get to recognize um several students, which is exciting. Um Dr. Stacy, would you like to take this part over? Sure. Absolutely. All right. We have uh uh several recognitions tonight and that's always absolutely our most fun uh thing to do as superintendent board. Uh and we have some big ones this time. We do. Uh so starting off uh we have two juniors with perfect ACT scores. Uh we have Jack Aor and Julian Samberg. Right. Uh what a crazy accomplishment. And if both of you guys can come up here to take a picture, we would greatly appreciate it. [applause] Take a picture. Absolutely. This is
002amazing. Congratulations. [snorts] [applause] Okay, while they're headed back, uh just a couple of stats about the ACT. Uh it's a normed test that's taken by um juniors from all across the United States. Um less than 1% uh hit that range uh for 36. So if you over the number of times that you take the test, if in the four categories you get to 36 u by different times, taking different sections, that's called a 36 supercore. Uh and a superore 36 is absolutely impressive. uh but to hit all the numbers to get a 36 on one test uh that's even more rare. So uh to have two students uh in a high school of our size uh that is not only impressive to them uh but impressive to the institution. So gentlemen uh number one congratulations
003to you two uh and number two thank you uh because you represented us extremely well uh on a national exam. So congratulations. I look forward to see where uh you guys head in a year from a distance. All right, the next uh is senior Yvante Cranmo. Yvonte, if you can come up. Uh Yvante was the 2025 Kentucky poetry out loud state champion. I think that is our second. Uh so that's awesome. And then Yvante also made it to the final round of the national competition in Washington DC uh for top nine in the country. So congratulations [applause] No, no, no. You guys wear it out. All right, congratulations. Thank you so much. One more. Hey, congratulations, Devonte. That's awesome. So much. Yeah. So many accomplishments. Okay. All right. Last but not least, uh we have
00411th grader Abby Smith, uh who I see jumped out of the softball game, [laughter] uh to come get recognized. Come on up, Abby. Abby has earned the rank of Sergeant Major in the Young Marines or organization uh and was the 2025 Division 3 Young Ma Young Marine of the Year. Young Marines emphasizes the core values of teamwork, leadership, self-discipline, and focus on a physical fitness, citizenship, and citizenship through community service and living a healthy drug-free lifestyle. And I believe you are also like Ivante, our second young Marine of the Year. So, congratulations, Abby. Congratulations. [applause] And I will say as Aby's making her way back down. Uh this is a great for me uh a great representation, a great first round of of um recognitions for the auditorium uh because it absolutely shows the diversity
005and the wide range of areas uh that our students excel in uh from academics to athletics to extracurriculars to um forensics and poetry uh all the way to uh community service organizations. So, um, great great first recognition. Yes. What a way to open our new auditorium. Great way to open up in the new auditorium. Well, technically got open. Yeah. Jazz Jazz Festival, which was awesome, too, but this is our first meeting to enjoy it. So, um, okay, on to public comment. Do we have anybody? No. The signin sheets down there at the uh, Miss Tank, could you look and see if there are Mr. Ders, anybody signed up? No one has signed up. Okay. on to our discussion and action agenda. Um, let's see. The first item is a motion to approve Floyd and Associate
006Contract for audit services. Take a motion. I'll make a motion. Second. Okay. Anything you want to add or Christie wants to add? No, it's the same for a couple years. Sounded like your experience has been good. Yeah. So the state I assume their rates are pretty standard in the indust. Okay. Oh, sorry. Mrs. Burgerer, yes. Mr. Burns, yes. Mr. Hood. Yes. Did he say yes? Mrs. Slate? Yes. Mrs. Wooden? Yes. Thank you. Okay. Motion carries. Oh, I forgot to do that. Good. Okay. We do I can I do it right now? You can do it after B. Okay. After what? After the Just as long as you do it before C. Okay. Um, we'll take a motion to approve. Next item, item B, commercial insurance recommendation. Motion to approve blueg grass risk management as our
007commercial insurance. Take a motion. I'll make the motion. Okay, I'll second. You want to say anything about this one? We are switching carriers with this. people in together. A lot of a lot of districts up here last year because the cost of insurance went up so much and the coverage went down. So I feel like people been in have good experience seems really healthy organization. So um we're going for that and it's a more reasonable rate. [snorts] What was the one we were in? Um that wasn't the consortium. It wasn't the consortium. Okay. How does the how does the rate compare to last year? It is a 14% increase across all the um insurance. in the commercial property. I was trying to get a read on how much is related to the fact that we
008got this new addition on part of the increase this part of the building which is very expensive. So sure makes sense. Okay. I didn't get that information before not having got it yet but I will get at some point. Yeah. Okay. I think the biggest thing that I would add uh is that Liberty has just gotten to a point to where they're pricing themselves out based on some districts uh insurance um claims. Uh both the tornadoes was a massive hit. Two rounds of floods have been massive hits. Uh so they've they've really uh well in insurance in general has insurance in general has gone commercial and there's not many markets in the It's very hard to find people. So, Crawford is still your broker. Uh, but this was their recommendation uh based on the bids
009uh that Christie put out. Okay. Anyone else have any questions about it? Okay. Nope. All right. Mrs. Burgerer? Yes. Mr. Burns? Yes. Mr. Hood. Mrs. SL. Mrs. Wooten. Yes. Okay. Okay, I forgot to do this at the beginning, but we do need to make a motion to um amend and I got to look up what the motion is. Sorry. You need to make a motion to amend the agenda to add uh C as the board consents to withdraw the approval of BG1 25-174. I'll make the motion to amend. [laughter] Yes, ma'am. I am not making the motion. I'm just saying that is what you need to say. Yes, we just need a second. I have a second. Here it is. Sorry about that. All right. Second. Yeah. Okay. Uh uh I we I think Mr.
010Kaiser explained this very well. uh but uh uh and revising the BG1 and going over all the ending stuff that we need to anyway and adding phase C uh gives us the ability to move right into that um uh that uh next phase. Uh but in in doing so, we need to withdraw uh the approval of BG125-174 that we did in August uh and and just do a revision uh on later in the agenda. Part of our original Yes. BG1. Yes. Okay. Any questions? No. Ready? Um, Mrs. Burgerer? Yes. Mr. Burns? Yes. Mr. Hood. Mrs. Sleet. Yes. Mrs. Wooten. Yes. So then we need the Okay. Okay. Motion carries. So I don't see the other motion on here. Are we going with D? Okay, got it. Okay, your next one is C. Ced. Oh, D.
011So, we're Yes. Okay. All right. We'll take a motion to um item C. This is item D and we're going to have an E. Okay. Got it. All right. Okay. Take a motion to accept House Joint Resolution 32, the gap funding um and the award of 53,000. I'll make a motion. I'll second. Okay. This is part of the uh legislative awards that went out to dis 21 districts. Uh we received $53,000. Uh you have to accept the $53,000. uh and then you will add it into uh item E which will be part of the revision of the existing BG1 phase C. So you've got to accept it uh and then show how you're going to use it uh in the next item. Okay. Do you have anything else to add on that ma'am choice? Okay.
012Nope. Ready? Mrs. Burgerer? Yes. Mr. Burns? Yes. Mr. Hood. Yes. Mrs. Slate. Yes. Mrs. Wooden. Yes. Okay. Voting to accept money is a lot easier than voting to spend it, right? Accepting is usually a no-brainer. Most of the time, every once in a while there's a string that's attached. Strings. Exactly. Not too often. Okay. On to item E. Uh, we'll take a motion to approve the revised BG1 for phase 6C. I'll make the motion to approve. I'll second. Okay. So, are we gonna on this? Are we gonna have Joe come up with drawings on this one or No. No. Uh, but Joe can more than happily come up uh if you have any specific questions on any of it. Yeah. Could maybe I could So, again, new at this so I was trying to understand
013the the process. So, help me make help me make sure that I'm understanding the process correctly. So we we approved the BG1 for phase 6C and that's essentially the hey we think it's going to cost this amount of money. Well, we revised that was the original. So we had a BG1 that was named something different before we just rescended that one. Yep. And we're redoing what our original one before we reset the budget. Okay. So yeah, which wasn't our original plan. So regardless, we're going to approve this and it's sort of like approving a bucket of money. We aren't approving contractors or like I I didn't see any additional details. Okay, that's a good question. Um so uh what you're saying u tonight uh is that you see the the proposed scope. Yep. Right. And
014that the thing that we talked about on safety, what was that word, Mike? Proposed what? Proposed scope. Scope. Okay. Of the project. Right. Once you approve the proposed scope, right, then it kicks into motion the next round where Kodell will extend as the um um construction manager. Hayes will continue as the architect. They will finalize their all the drawings will go for more finalized bid estimates. Right? There'll be that round two. Uh then once you still give the thumbs up on the more finalized version uh then it'll go out to bids uh and when bids come in you either accept those bids or reject those bids. Okay. Right. So you still have two more rounds before you even get started. Could you help me understand where in this BG1 it talks about the scope? I
015I see the dollars um but I don't necessarily It indicates what is part of this particular scope of work. I'm probably missing it. I Yeah, it was on the one that we sent out, but um it is uh the baseball press box, the softball press box and stands. Baseball press box and stands. Uh sound systems in both uh HVAC in the uh upper or HVAC in the fieldhouse. um track free resurface 200 bleachers in the end zone. Um um a a smaller entrance up at the Kroger with a better gate. Um tennis uh court resurface, tennis court lights. Um shoring up shoring up the hillside um and and maintenance building um take down maintenance building rebuild. Uh and um concession stands, uh, an elementary roof. With some bathrooms, with some restrooms. Yeah. Okay. And up
016by the tennis courts and possibly by the concession. We don't know. Can we get those in there or No, I mean, you won't. In my opinion, uh, you'll be lucky to get what we've the scope of what we've put in already in there. I mean, costs are continuing to again, you'll know. Yeah. Go ahead. Yeah, I asked them to bring some uh Chrissy, you want to put your microphone back in and hop up just for a second? You don't have a microphone? All right, we'll steal. We'll steal that one. Is this for him? Yeah. Let me get up. Yeah. Thank you. That's much better. He was testing my memory. All right. Thank you. Yeah. [laughter] So the everybody hear me? So the first page is just kind of a general title sheet. If you flip
017to the second one, that's the overall site plan, you know, showing the existing uh tennis courts being resurfaced, some new lighting for that area, some new bleachers for the tennis courts. Then you can see the dashed kind of existing storage building that that would be coming down. And then there's a new building being we're shown at 25 by60. Uh it's going to have the same look as as the current Tiger's Den barn. And then you can see where the concession building is getting expanded out there to the towards the south or east. And then there's a new press box going kind of where the existing one is, but it's just going to be reshaped a little differently. And then uh a new rubberized surface on the running track. and then possibly like an outdoor kind
018of classroom on that hillside there overlooking the football field depending on how the pricing comes in. So, uh can I say so I would like to look at and or my recommendation would be to look at uh on the existing concession stand. uh the addition comes back, but it would be really great for you all if you could sneak it over back and out uh to increase the number of lines because that gets really heavy uh on those so making it wider. It gets really heavy on those bigger game nights. How much room is there? I mean, there isn't there some kind of like hole there or something? There's a there's a manhole there, but it's it's on out. Is it? Right. Um uh so I would just like to at least uh in their
019uh discussions with Kodell look out look at extending it to get an extra window of two uh so that way it reduces those lines of backup and people have trouble crossing uh during the game requires an extra worker or two. It does require an extra worker too. Um but typically they have a ton of people in there for the big football games but then it you know it's hard to move around. So, I was going to ask, I haven't been recruited to work the concessions yet, fortunately. Uh, do they get crowded in there because of people or stuff or both? The crowd is, uh, people waiting in line. No, I'm sorry. I meant what what's the need for more space? Is it the workers that's getting crowded or is it all the stuff in there
020that's getting crowded? What's the need for more space? All All the Yes. Yes. And yes. Okay. It's the original size that we had before they just remodeled it like I don't know about 12 years ago, maybe. It was well before I got here. Was it about 12 years? Yeah. But either way, it's tight in there. Yes. Okay. All right. Yeah. And if you come out just a little bit, um because I know bringing it back is going to relieve the crowdedness and crampness inside, but it doesn't do anything for external lines that back up all the way to the bleachers and curve around and then you have that, you know, uh trouble with traffic going back and forth. Sorry. Yeah. No, I can fix that. Yeah. Then if you go to the next page that
021kind of shows the concept of the of the new press box. It's going to have the brick veneer to kind of match match the whole campus. Um you can see there's storage down below on the on the main level and then there's four compartments up top, you know, but that overlook the field. It'll also have a viewing platform you know for the filming crews and things up on the very top level. In the bottom right, it's kind of a smaller version of the existing stadium entrance that you have now, but that would be up at the Kroger side to where it would, you know, it would provide some lights security. You can lock it off and it just um I thought it would look nice up there. Yeah, that looks nice. Just make sure that
022may have to be a little taller. Okay. Uh because uh that is also an emergency entrance and exit during drills. Um, so I think the largest vehicle would be a firet truck. Y, good point. Yeah, I'll check that. Just to remember that. Uh, we we did it one time, just to remind everybody, we did it one time with a larger press box. Uh, that would extend out a little bit farther. Uh, but this is the maximum square footage without an elevator. Uh so I mean at that point the cause kind of seems uh and there is um you see the little man standing on top uh the decorative the decorative top also covers handrails uh so that is accessible to the top uh and the stairs are inside the press box instead of outside. So
023that increases your room between the press and the cell tower which now with that external staircase uh does provide and make it a little bit more cramped. I'm sorry. Go ahead. Well, less cramped, right? The external makes it more cramped. So that'll be removed and we have more room in between. You're going to pick up about I think six, seven extra feet between the cell phone fence and the new press box which is going to be huge. Yeah, that's cell power. So, the the back entrance looks awesome. Is I haven't been up there in a while. Is it still the chain link fence? Is that still what's up there? Is there anything considered to try and do a nicer looking fence with this really nice looking entrance or is that not in the cards right
024now? I was going to make that part of it. I was going to go black vinyl like on both sides of that just to kind of clean that whole area up. Just not the chain link tuck trying into some beautiful brick like Yeah. No, that'll be part of it. And then the next page, that's just that's the proposed kind of maintenance building just like the your current building. It'll be red and white. You put a logo on it, you know, facing the Kroger side. It's a it's a nice building. It has four garage doors. Uh I think it was 40 by 60 ft. Think of baseball and soft allpurpose indoor facility up by the baseball field. Right. Repeat of that. Uh but only bays from the side that will face the entrance. Uh and the
025porch area would [snorts] face the tennis courts. That would also Yeah, there's an outdoor covered porch. Yeah. For for seating on the tennis courts and then there's a restroom there in the top left for you any spectators for the tennis kids. So you don't have to go to Kroger. Exactly. Delay a match. And then the next next page is kind of schematic in general because we haven't got into the details yet, but the very top is the portion of the softball field that's going to have a new press box, new bleachers, new sound system, and then adding some bullpens in there for the uh players. And then the bottom right, that's the existing baseball field. And we're showing a new press box. Same thing, upgraded bleachers and sound system. Great. So, I've already been asked
026about the baseball. Uh you don't have room to do the U shape like the softball. Uh so you're bringing it around a little bit farther on on this side. Third base side. Yes. Um and then the bullpen. Uh I think you need to add that because from also from a title N standpoint, we kind of ran out of funds back when we were doing the um the u the turf. Uh but now you could go back and fit that in right uh on that first base side in the outfield. And the very last page on the bottom left, that is the roof plan of the elementary and just showing how we're going to put all new shingles on that piece there to the left. And then the three floor plans on the right. That's the
027high school floor plan showing all the new flooring being redone. Oh yeah, I forgot about the flooring. Yeah. So we did those as alternate prices, too. The money's not available. You don't have to accept shingles on the elementary. Uh Okay. So, uh, typically, uh, those have to be, um, extended period of time over 20 years for on the original part, right? I'm sorry. On the original part. Yes. Okay. So, that was a single tab shingle that's warrantied for 10 years. I mean, you're now you're now uh 2008, so you're getting close to the 20 year mark. They're in rough shape. They're they're in bad shape. Um it would be really nice to be able to come in and convert those over to the three tap shingles. Um uh that would number one have a longer
028warranty life and number two while you're doing bond expenditures. Uh it would be great to roll that into a bond as opposed to uh bringing it out of capital campaign or I mean out of general fund because that's what you're going to do uh in two or three years when you have your first leak. And right behind that that's not very far behind is the fieldhouse roof. Is it the same? It is a single tab 10 year. So it would be in a year 11. They did 10 year. I didn't even know that then you could do a 10 year. Yeah. Okay. You're not supposed to do it. Might help with insurance. Christie, [laughter] that's where right now a lot of buyers are getting hit on a 15-year because insurance companies do not want to
029insure. Yeah, I personally don't like single tap shingles, but sometimes you do what you got to do to get a product finished. Uh but uh that will put it on now pros and cons. It will put it on the same timeline uh as uh the front roof. Uh so that is something to you know to be aware of. Any other Thank you, John. Thank you. Appreciate it. Thank you. If there's no other questions, anybody have any other questions? You ready? Mrs. Burgerer? Yes. Mr. Burns? Yes. Mr. Hood? Yes. Mrs. Slate? Yes. Mrs. Wood? Yes. Thank you. Okay. Motion carries on to our next item, which is the consent agenda. We'll take a motion to approve the consent agenda. I'll make a motion to approve the consent agenda. I'll second that. Okay. Uh rare it's rare
030that we have two-page agenda, but uh it is what it is. We have a lot of change orders. Um I've approved uh all the change orders. Uh but I'll start from the top. Approval minutes. Obviously, you've had a couple meetings in the interim um last month and a special meeting monthly bills. Uh normal use of facility. We have the Kentucky uh symphony orchestra that has requested to use the facility. Um is that this room? Yeah, this room. Yeah. Um, it is, again, I get to say a couple things on the way out. Uh, it is, um, we have not signed any long-term agreements. A lot of people are wanting the space. Um, but I've been kind of guarded. I've been kind of guarded on on that. Uh, but I mean, the Kentucky Symphony Orchestra is
031a great organization. They're just want to use it for a one-time event. Uh, Odyssey of mine, you approved the funding last month. Uh, this is to approve the trip itself. Uh, we do have a a couple of multi- um district agreements. One of them is Perkins that you've approved in the past. Uh, this one is a title three uh with uh Fort Thomas and Dayton Independent Schools. Uh, and to be able to uh qualify for some of that funding, you have to meet a certain threshold by joining with other places. we meet that threshold. Uh so then funds are released and split uh accordingly. Um we do want to continue with the emergency substitute teacher certification. Uh if you remember that happened during COVID where they um allowed districts to not necessarily meet all of
032the more strenuous requirements uh for um uh substitute teachers on specifically hours uh of college hours to be able to sub. Uh you have your pay application number 34 for phase B. Uh and then we have we're starting in the punch list. Uh so we do have several um change orders um uh that I did put on uh for your approval. Uh and then a couple leave without pays. Uh you have the Beachwood Independent District professional development plan. You have the Beachwood High School professional plan uh development plan. Uh and you have the Beachwood Elementary School professional development plan. Uh two of which are coming from you from SPDMs. uh and then the other from the district. Uh you have our request just in case something crazy would happen. Uh you have to give us
033the ability to um do a continuation of the warning of our distance learning plan which is known as NI NI days. Um we don't ever plan on using NI days. Uh but if you don't do this ahead of time uh then you are not granted uh the Um, so you never know when we had some kind of major systems failure um and and would need to have uh you know time away from school. Um this would this gives you that ability. uh we have uh the English language learner plan uh and I will uh while we're saying that u um had a great pass rate uh this past uh testing cycle I think 18% and I asked Miss Camp well how does that relate to the nation to know exactly if that how great that
034is I think the nation was 8 to 9% so we can't double [music] Sing for God [music] to the se. [music] The monster found what you find [music] in what you have in mind. until [music and singing] you find your [music] in the sand. Okay. report is until [music] we have you'll be session call you [music] [singing] [music] vacations on external. [music] and indoor [music] that in my opinion will compensate through the month of June to be able to finish that much list. And I'm coming in even though I'll be gone to walk through a final time on June the 25th. That is kind of horrible. It just turned out well. I'm not sure. It's nice to be here. So, obviously, [music] it's nice to be able to put this out for the kids. They're
035excited about it. now activity in here before they graduate. So, it's a great it'll be uh it'll be around for a long time after I'm gone. Uh so, that's a nice thing to be able to do. Um everything else I I know if you see something, uh don't hesitate to text. Uh but uh I think we have both Joe and Jeff, Justin, myself, right? So the plan for the front steps, they said they can't fix the concrete. We told them we can't do anything on the front steps until after school's out because I had a construction meeting today whenever they were starting to talk about it. That's the one item that I said you can't touch because we have to have egress emergency situation surve uh concrete work started May 27th several places. [music and
036singing] Oh yeah. But that has been that was that was brought out from 5 days ago. [music] I didn't think it would hold but that is the world. So that is not one of my areas of concern. They're fully aware that state has not been working the last uh it's not working today. They're starting to work on certain things. It has amazing. It's a controls. [music] It's not the It's not like the unit blew up. It's It's They're not finished with the controls. And that has been absolutely one of the most uh frustrating [music] aspects of the project is both the electrical controllers, all the controllers, your pretty face. [music] That's a pocket [music] that they were putting a lot of power into this area. And a rest [music] that tells me this finaliz this
037every day. He said I do I do think Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. [music] you guys time to do the stuff that [music] you need to do and then we'll transition after that. Okay. finance report. Uh Chris, do you have anything other than the things you've added? Yes. Student committee. Uh All right. So you guys have been
