Any other discussion? All those in favor say I. Motion passes 5-0. I'll ask Mrs. Chandler Crosby to come forward for our Clark County Public Schools recognition. >> Good evening. So, we start every Board of Education meeting in the best way, and that's honoring our students, staff, and community partners who uh district who um exhibit our portrait of a Clark County learner competencies. So, we're going to start out with our groups because on April 21, we recognized about 1,200 students who excelled in different ways, clubs, sports, all

003all the things at our DC. But then after April 21, a lot of things have happened. So, we have a few groups tonight that we're going to take care of and then move into our regular uh recognitions. We're going to start with Dr. McCollum with the ATC. >> Good evening. First off, I want to thank the board for recognizing our students and seeing all the greatness that they're doing within our school board. Um through the ATC, we are focused on being career ready. We want to make sure that our students are walking away from our facilities ready to enter the workforce with the industry certs they need to be able to get started. Um as she stated, we did have numerous students already recognized at April. However, as of that very day, we had about

004150 more students certified leading up until the end of the school year. So, we had a total of 252 students who walked away with the industry certification from Clark County ATC this school year alone. Uh so, that is a huge deal. So, thank you so much for allowing us time to recognize our students. I do want to apologize. A lot of our students are not able to make it simply because it is summer time. However, we will make sure that they are recognized when the school season starts. Most of them are sophomores and juniors, so they will be returning to earn even more industry certifications next year. I do have a few students who are here with us. All three of these students um were a part of our welding program. They all earned their

005transportation 3G welding certification with our instructor, Mr. James Willoughby. They will continue on in the program, hopefully earning some more certifications and also possibly their truck industry certification. So, Mr. Tristan Whiteside. >> [applause] >> MR. DAVID KIRKWOOD. >> [applause] >> AND THEN WE HAVE PHOENIX WATTS ON the way. Unfortunately, he was on his way here. Mama was tracking him on the phone, but I don't think he made it in town. Um so, these are the students that are here today. Once again, THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> [applause] >> I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT ON THE UH certifications for these groups, uh every competency you're working toward is listed. You'll see later that we choose specific competencies, but they have them all. He lost his picture. There we go. Okay. Here we go. >> Great.

006Thank you. >> [applause] >> Next we have Coach Randy Ross. >> Good evening. Thank you for uh this opportunity to be able to recognize the 2026 RDC boys soccer team. Myself, along with coaches uh Tyler Waldman and Will Carrington, helped uh this team in 2026 finish the season 14-2-0 as Bluegrass Conference regular season runner-up and Bluegrass Conference tournament champions. >> You were the champions? >> We were champions. Yes. And this was our our fifth in my time as uh RDC coach. So, uh we like winning. >> Mr. Howard? >> Yes, we do. >> And I have about half of our team here due to it being summer and and all kinds of things, but happy to introduce these guys. Guys, when I call your name, come on up and stay up here. TATE REESE. >>

So, at this time, we would like to recognize MIKE MCCORMICK. >> [applause] [applause] [laughter] [applause] >> ARE WE GOOD? >> I'M GOOD. >> OKAY, WONDERFUL. SO, do we have any public comments? Can someone check? >> No public comments, okay. All right. Our next agenda item is acknowledgement of CCPS data results and HQIR next steps. Mrs. Kelly Winton. So, last month when we were talking about the budget, we also talked about resources for our staff, which in turn help our students grow. Those are formally called highly qualified instructional resources. And tonight we're going to show how investing in that also helps invest in our students and

016how we're growing our students when we invest in those resources. Usually at the end of every school year, we look at our I-Ready results. If you recall, our I-Ready is our universal screener that we administer to grades K through 8 in both reading and math. They do this do this three times throughout the course of the school year and we can then track the data. The teachers, our administrators use this data throughout the course of the year to make decisions. At the district level, we are also using this data to make sure that we are guiding, providing professional development, and then also providing resources for our staff to use in the classroom. Tonight we're looking at the the data a little bit differently. In the past we've displayed our data so that you could see

017all three windows for all three grade levels and usually we're always seeing a growth from August or September until May as we should. Tonight we wanted to take a little bit different approach to displaying our data so that you could see the correlation to some of the initiatives that we've put in place to date and how that's affecting our student scores. So, if you'll go on to the next slide, please. All right. So, we're specifically looking tonight on kindergarten and first grade, and you're seeing a 3-year trend um all within kindergarten from 3 years of data, and it's all related to window three. Um so, we're looking at anytime from April to May of our students taking this diagnostic results. You can see from the 23-24 school year up until this year, we have made

018a 10-point gain across um the spectrum with all of our kindergarten students in this specific time frame. So, moving from 69% to 79% of our students ready at the end of the grade level with regards to phonics instruction. The next slide shows first grade. Very similar, we're showing an 11-point gain from the 23-24 school year up until this year, so that it's showing that 60% of our students are on grade level or even above grade level with regards to that. So, the next slide really shows that correlation that we have been very intentional with training and supports and resources for our teachers. Um over the last couple of years, we have invested highly in Orton-Gillingham, which is a phonics-based um instructional platform that provides the resources for our teachers to use with our students, and

019also very explicit training. All of our teachers undergo a 30-hour training to be able to um teach this course, and it is showing impactful results across our district. As with anything new that we put into place, it takes time for our investments to show that they're working. And over a 3-year time frame, just by looking at our kindergarten and our first grade data, our data is showing that it's working. So, we're going to continue to invest in that, continuing to provide the resources for our teachers. Um and this is very specific just to phonics and phonological awareness in the lower grades. Um there are more things involved in reading and teaching reading than just phonics and phonics uh phonological awareness, but that provides that foundational aspect, and that's where we started. Um when we started

020looking at the whole scope and sequence and what did we need to do in our district, we started first with just that foundational piece. Now that we have that under our belt, we'll continue to grow in that area, but we do feel that we need to move on and really look at the whole scope um and sequence of reading and focus on language comprehension and the other strands of the reading rope. So, if you'll go on to the next slide, um you'll look at first through eighth grade just the reading comprehension. So, this is looking at all parts of the reading spectrum, and you can show that we have made gains across the course of the 3 years, but a smaller gain of 3 to 5 points moving from window three in 23-24 to 25-26.

021So, we've really put a focus on phonics. We've made that very intentional, and we're seeing growth, 10 and 11-point gains. So, now it's time to really focus on the whole um spectrum of reading, looking at all strands of the reading rope so that we can focus on not just phonics and phonological awareness, but also the comprehension part as well. Um the next slide >> I have a question for you. >> Yes. Yes. Yes, go ahead. >> How do you measure the reading comprehension? Is it through the i-Ready also? >> Yes. Yes. >> Okay. >> Um i-Ready, when we get those reports, it measures all the five domains of reading, so we can really pull out the subgroup of phonics or phonological awareness, but we can look at all five strands, and we're seeing drastic growth

022with regards to phonics and phonological awareness, but not as much growth with all the other components. Um And while we knew that, it's hard to tackle everything all at once. So, we had to focus on one part, so that's why we started with the foundational layer, and we feel like we've provided that training, we've been able to have uh coaching with regards to Orton-Gillingham, and we feel like we're on a good road ahead that will continue to see those increases. But now we need to make sure we're putting just as much focus on the other components of reading as well. So, the next slide shows our plan of what we would like to do um to make sure that we're putting as much emphasis on all the uh subcomponents of reading. Um so, in the

023coming uh next school year, we plan to adopt Magnetic Literacy in grades first through fifth grade. That will be a highly qualified instructional resource that our teachers can use when they're teaching reading. And then in grades six through 12, they will be using Think that all of our staff, teachers in the classroom, have research standards-aligned um resources that they can use to teach reading and the reading curriculum and standards. Um this past year, we have piloted across all the grade levels um with Magnetic Literacy. We've put a lot of focus in making sure we're getting teacher input, um looking at the samples, and diving into all these resources to making sure it's a good fit for our district. Um we have surveyed our staff, surveyed administrators, and this is what everyone has agreed upon that

024we feel is the next step in regards to um English language arts and reading in our district. >> [snorts] >> Very similar in math when we look at those scores, um district overall for the last 3 years, we've showed a three-point gain. Again, not as much um as we're seeing in reading, but honestly, our focus has been on reading [clears throat] in this district, and it has been at the early elementary grades and in phonics. So, where we are putting our focus and our intentionality, we're seeing the gains. Um, but now we're ready to expand and making sure that we're putting a focus in other areas as well. Um, you can keep on to the next slide. Um, this shows a breakdown, elementary versus the middle grades across the last 3 years. So, specifically in

025elementary, we have had a 7-point gain in the last 3 years, and we've remained stagnant at the middle school area. Um, we attribute that because at the elementary level, while we have not changed our resource, cuz we do have a high-quality resource that we already used in math, um, but we were being more intentional with coaching. We have partnered with CKEC, um, to provide coaching to all of our elementary schools, and then we have written invested highly in manipulatives for our students to be able to have hands-on, um, manipulatives to use in the classroom, so they're not always seeing just the abstract. They're actually learning, um, more hands-on and concrete, uh, ways of looking at math. Um, so the next slide also, um, denotes what we plan to do moving forward. Um, again, while we

026are seeing some investments and gains at the elementary levels, um, we're going to continue the coaching. We are going to continue investing in the elementary, but while we see that middle school, we need more of a focus area on that, we are going to pilot I-Ready Math, um, for grades 5 through 8. Um, in talking with administrators and teachers, they are excited about having this new resource and being able to pilot that, and hopefully we can see some gains in that area. After piloting that, if we see that it is beneficial and is a good fit for our district, then we would look at next year potentially adopting that for a resource. >> [clears throat] >> Um the next slide just shows our next steps. Um so we're going to continue being very intentional, making

027sure that we're looking at our data to really drive our instructions, monitoring when we put systems in place. So when we put a resource in place, we're going to to monitor our data to ensure that we are seeing the gains and the growth that we expect to see. Um again, piloting a curriculum in math for grades 5 through 8. And then again with ELA, putting something in place for grades 1 through 12 for our teachers to use that are research-based. >> Have you already picked what you're going to use curriculum for the math? >> Yes. Um grades 5 through 8 would be already math. >> Okay. Classroom mathematics and envision for 9 through 12? >> Yes. Yes. I apologize. I did not say that. And [snorts] grades 9 through 12, I did leave that off.

028Um envision's math. So that way our reading and our math content areas all have strong curriculums that they can use that are standards-based or standards-aligned. Um our teachers have those at their fingertips so they do not have to spend hours and hours of researching and and finding resources that they can use with their uh students. I do have my team academic team here with me tonight. If you have any specific questions, they are boots on the ground in the classrooms with the teachers, um really helping the entire way with um piloting, getting feedback, and ensuring that these resources are aligned to our visions as a district and what we feel is the next step for us to continue growing greatness. >> So I know like in high school, you're required to do financial literacy. Is

029that class going to be updated, changed? Because that that class was Um as a parent, I was not really impressed with it. >> So with envision's math, they do have resources that we could use for that. It does break it down so that it has algebra one, geometry, algebra two, your standard content areas, but it does have a financial math literacy literacy financial math curriculum that we could use. >> I think that's like the terminology that we're required to provide that. >> Yes, we are. >> Yeah. But I will say that the the teacher that my son had the third teacher was great, Miss Sands. So, she helped him through that. That was a hard class and he had it his junior year, which made it even harder cuz he really should have had that

030his senior year. So, I'm really happy to hear about that cuz I think definitely just having my son just graduated last year, especially math, it just seemed like it I you know, math is math is math, but we it's very important to have it. Now, how did is it measured through I-Ready also? Like is Okay. >> I-Ready measures reading and math. >> Okay. I got this I've kind of forgotten it. And that but does does that does that stop at a certain age though? >> So, that assessment stops at eighth grade. Well, actually the assessment can go on through all of high school, but it does not provide support and what we call a math path support so that way if students are missing some of the standards, it gives support so that students can

031have remediation. So, we only test and use that screener through eighth grade, but GRC does use I-Excel for a screener cuz it can be used for 9th through 12th and they use those results to help remediate, provide intervention to students. >> I know that that just started this year. >> Yes. >> I love your PowerPoint and everything. I was wondering if >> [clears throat] >> is there a way to have these same kind of I mean point gains in every grade? >> Mhm. >> Is that something we could get in the future? >> Yes. We tonight we just looked at the phonics part because that's something that we put into place. We monitor that across the district and we can give you those. And actually, we had that originally, but then we went back to

032just what initiatives have we put into place and that has been phonics, so that's why we homed in on that, but can definitely give you those. >> Thank you. Definitely nice to have a I just I'd like to see since it's been put in 3 years, what that's affected as they moved up in grade level. You know, that's what I'd like to see. >> Definitely. >> Well, that's definitely the exciting part for us. When when you look at 3 years ago, we had Yeah, 69% of our kindergarteners and now we're most up to 80. Those will be our first graders, our second graders. And so again, it goes back to we can eliminate gaps from being there. We're not spending so much time on closing them on the back end. >> And across the board,

033we're seeing gains across the district, but again, it's like some of the slides that we showed earlier, it may be some of them stagnant, some of them just three to five, some of them two to four, but we've been very intentional and I keep going back to that phonics instruction. That's where we're seeing the 10 10 to 11 point gains. >> But even the ones that are are stagnant as you called it, it gives you somewhere to go. >> Yes, I agree with that. >> Right. >> What you need to do is make it clear that >> Yeah. >> Ability to intentionally plan. >> Do you all have any other questions or >> No, thank you. >> Thank you all. >> Thank you. >> All right, our next We are just acknowledging that we are

034>> Just acknowledging Yes, ma'am. >> So, our next agenda item is consider approval of school handbooks for school year 2026-2027, Mr. Jamie King. >> Good evening. >> Uh yeah, this starts probably in March reminding our school leaders start updating this. Have a deadline. Dr. Hale gets really particular about the formatting, so she enters everything in that they give her, so the format stays accurate for everybody. Just so we can have those ready by the towards the end of school, so the school board can see them. I think all of them are up-to-date according to the admin except uh Phoenix. I want to hold off on that one to let uh Ms. Grimes have an uh chance to take a look at that and make some edits and have that up for next week. >> I

035I do want the elementary schools to go and look at where they have the board of education members. It I want they really need to be the same for each one. Like, they don't have our names like they're not they're not all uniform. Um so, Justice, Shear, and Strode needs theirs updated. >> Okay. >> And like the make just to make sure we're cuz it's confusing like one it has me as vice chair and then the other one is chair and they have um >> [clears throat] >> Ash Ms. Richie's name and how you want your name in the book. You know, do you want Do you want your Richie book? Or do you want do you want you know, how you want it to look like? >> Um I'm both. >> You you're all

036over the It's all over the place. That's why I'm like you want it to I think it needs to be uniform. >> Yeah, absolutely. All over the place. >> Yeah. So, So, do you want it to say Richie or do you want it >> Um >> Richie Grimes. Yeah. >> Okay. >> [snorts] >> Yeah. So, in like the So, just so they're all the same is really the thing. And I would request that the elementary schools include my and it sounds very conceited, but I I would like the dog talking included in Chanel money. Cuz I want it to be uniform. >> Okay. >> Cuz if I have a kid at Shear and I have a kid at JRC and then I'm like, "What's going on?" So. >> We'll uh make sure that gets uh

037uniform the same. >> Yeah, it's just the three the uh Shear, Strode. Conkwright's was I think Conkwright left off one thing, but yeah. >> We'll make sure that's uniform. >> And I'm sure they're thinking they I think there are so many more important things, but I just think for us to be all on the same page as we move into the new school year. >> That's why we guys we let you we we want you to take a look at it. >> Yes, absolutely. >> Cuz it's a lot of work to put all those together. >> [snorts] >> So. Um so I would Should we How can we say we approve them with with the changes? Yes, okay. Okay. So, do I have a motion to approve the school handbooks for this school year 2026-2027

038with the changes discussed? >> I'll make it. >> Motion by Mr. Prizer. I'll second that. All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Were there Was there any other discussion or concerns? Did everyone look through them and everyone feel okay? Cuz I know you you Okay. >> Yeah, they're they're fine. >> They're good. All right, motion passes 5 to 0. Thank you. >> that this evening in the morning. >> Okay, thank you so much for all your hard work. All right, we'll have Mr. Brandon Watkins come up and we're going to consider approval of district district athletic handbook. >> So, we asked our two our our TRC and RDC to um kind of consolidate our athletic um handbooks that they share with parents and players um at the beginning of seasons so that we

039have one district kind of uniform uniform athletic handbook. Um we still have a couple of tweaks to make it in it um as we've all kind of been reviewing it and providing suggestions. So, we just wanted we want to consider tonight a first reading and then bring it back um at the next meeting to have you guys final finally uh finalize the approval on that. >> So, on it, does it go fifth through 12 or cuz I know we hear a lot about a lot of fifth grade players going in on to the schools, Does covers that age >> It covers all of them, yes. And we even have some elementary kids that do track, middle school track and stuff, so yeah. It covers all >> So this is pretty much it for any athletic

040in Clarksville. >> Correct. >> It's much better. >> Yeah, correct. >> Thank you. This has been a journey we've been on for a few years. >> Yeah. And we made lots of revisions in the last week or two to just to just to try to streamline it and to make it as user-friendly as possible. >> Oh, but I mean everything I read in here had to be in here.

It's great work. >> Thank you. >> All right, well >> Thank you. >> All those Did we already We didn't approve it, did we? All those in favor say We did. But we did the discussion. I don't think you took a vote. >> We took a vote, but you said >> It was It was approved. So we're good. >> to move on? All right. >> After the second. >> Sorry, we just got excited. We're excited that you're here, Mr. Howard. Thank you for all you do out there at RBC. So, All right. We'll ask Ms. Abby McCormick to come and consider approval of MOA with interpreting services of the Commonwealth LLC. >> Yes, so we are very fortunate to have a full-time Clark

043County Public Schools employee that does our ASL interpreting for students for their IEP, which is again just speaks volumes of the work that the board has done along with our HR and finance department. But, this is again to be proactive in case that person were to be ill or we need to have another student move in, so that's what this MOA is for. >> Do I have a motion? >> I'll make a motion. >> Motion by Ms. Bracey. >> Okay. I'll I'll second that motion. All those in favor, say aye. >> Aye. >> Any other discussion? All right. Motion passes 5 to 0. All right. Our next one is consider approval of MOA with Karen Hadley, speech and language pathologist. >> Yes, so again, we are to mention that we are fully staffed for speech

044language pathologist, which just talking to other directors across our region and across the state, we're very fortunate to have that. Again, the work that the district has done and you all have done to help us with that. This is another proactive move. We do have some maternity leaves, which is very exciting. But, hopefully we can cover that within, but also just to be proactive at this contract on hand. >> The only thing I didn't see on that contract, is there a cost in here like some of the other ones gave you how much they charge? >> Yeah, she does have an hourly rate. So, hers is just per hour. >> It does say it up there. Okay. I'm sorry. >> That's okay. >> I couldn't find it. >> Do I have a motion? >> I'll

045make a motion. >> I'll >> Seconded by Mr. Dorsey. All those in favor say aye. >> Aye. >> Any other discussion? Motion passes 5-0. Our next agenda item is consider approval of MOA with Lori Howard Jones, physical therapist. >> So again, another service that we provide for students IEPs, physical therapy as it's needed. We do not have enough to have a full-time, and so we contract for two to three days per week uh based upon student need and based upon um evaluations and such that are needed for our students. >> Okay. All right. I'll make um the motion to approve this MOA with Lori Jones. >> I'll second. >> Second by Miss Thomas. All those in favor say aye. >> Aye. Any other discussion? Motion passes 5-0. Consider approval of MOA with On Track Orientation

046and Mobility Services. >> Yes, so orientation and mobility is a service that's provided to students with visual impairments that allows them opportunity to use cane usage to get out to the community, to expand on more real-life skills that could um be beneficial for them to extend their education. We have just, I believe right now, three students who have this service on their IEP. So again, a limited number of students who have this, so we just contract this if approved. >> I'll make a motion. >> I'll second. >> All right, motion by Mr. Kaiser, second by Mr. McGee. All those in favor say aye. >> Aye. Any other discussion? Motion passes 5-0. Okay. Next agenda item, consider approval of MOA with Vocational Rehabilitation and the Community Work Transition Program. >> Yes, so this is a program

047that came out approximately, I believe, 10 years ago. We did have this program when I was here prior and working with Miss Mann. During COVID, it kind of, like a lot of other things kind of went to the back burner. But we are looking for the agreement with the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation. This offers a staff member who we already one of our instructional assistants is going to kind of pilot this to see how far we can go, but it is an opportunity for us to work with students both with an IEP and or 504 to focus on more pre-employment skills. So kind of being looking at some of our things within our portrait of a learner and working on things that may not be offered just in a traditional you know, classroom setting. So

048interview skills, taking more tours, doing some job shadowing, getting some volunteer hours, things of that nature. And then we have the option to bill Office of Vocational Rehabilitation to then generate funds to hopefully expand that program. And it would also, you know, big picture thinking, aligned with JAG, College and Career Readiness, ATC, like all of those things coming together so that we're hoping that our students are successful members of our community when they leave GRC. >> Would it be focused on at GRC or is >> Yes, so this is for students who the Office of per IDEA and other regulations when students turn 16, we have to focus a lot on transition. And so that's basically like after high school. Both for our students in our MSD program and our students in just your traditional

049classroom setting. And so this would allow someone who may just specifically you know, may have a student who says very interested in working at McDonald's. This would allow them to, you know, pick them up, take them to work, get some on-the-job training and then as I get older if they were to need support from Office of Vocational Rehabilitation, this is kind of a a gateway or segue for them to have that. >> Do they have to have some type of diagnosis? >> Yes, so it can be a student with an IEP or a 504. >> Okay, gotcha. I just said that I just wanted to clarify so. >> Okay. >> So, they have to be 16 before they can >> Yes, ma'am. >> But, they can they can drive at 15, but they have to

050be 16 to do this. So, >> Yeah, so this is just part of when we as a student goes through um special education in their IEP, there's different kind of I don't want to say chapters of their life that we focus on. When they turn 14, during their meetings, we talk about their multi-year course of study. So, what do you want to take out of high school? What are some of your classes? When they turn 16, we talk talking about post-secondary goals and what's life look like after high school. Um we do a lot of surveys, we do interviews, trips, services, things like that. We're very fortunate where um we do have the JAG program that they kind of can go into that as well, but this would be for those students who might need

051more significant support. But, then also allowing some opportunity for just practice those interview skills or pre-employment skills. >> That sounds wonderful. >> Yeah, we we had it years ago um and it was it's it's a neat program. Um we just hope that we can get it back to where it was and maybe expand a lot more with all the great things that we're doing within the district and the community. >> I'd like to motion to approve the MLWDA vocational rehab and the community work transition program. >> Yeah, I'd like to motion for Mr. >> I'll second. >> And a second by Mr. Kaiser. All those in favor say "Aye." >> Aye. >> Any other discussion? Motion passes five to zero. >> Thank you all very much. >> Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Fuller.

052>> Um so, we had consider approval of KUE Eastman on MLK to add street lights. >> It's already in. >> Okay, Mr. Watkins, would you like to talk to us about that? >> Yeah, great thing. So, do you have the map on that? >> Jason? >> It's on there. >> Well, [snorts] we've got picture of it. >> [snorts] >> Okay, so this is a request and we have to um get a put together a final letter with this map and submit a BT1 to K and E. Um kind of similar to we did with the Columbia gas easement over Cockright. Um this is for the part of the project that we're working with the city on to add um some lights uh pole lights there along Martin Luther King um that we have previously discussed

053in front of Baker and all the way up Strode um almost to the preschool entrance there. >> This is just the easement part, right? >> Correct. This is just the easement part. >> I mean, it's crosses the road. >> Mhm. K and E needs an easement from us to or to complete the work on our property. >> Do you know if they plan on boring under the road or trenching across the road? >> Boring. Okay. >> And what does that mean? >> It means they're going to put the >> they're going to put the line underneath the road instead of cutting the road and laying it. >> Yeah, they won't necessarily have to shut the road down. >> Yeah. Well, and there won't be a repair to the road either or something. >> I'll make

054a motion to approve the K and E easement to enable K and E to add street lights. >> Motion by Mr. Pryor. Okay. Seconded by Mr. Dorsey. All those in favor say aye. >> Aye. >> Any other discussion? Motion passes 5-0. Our next agenda item um consider approval of invoice 25019 1 2 3 4 1 2 Ross Tarrant Architects for the RDC and Baker renovation project in the amount of $81,033.64. >> So, I'll let Brian add anything he wants to hear, but this is just the as you all know we've talked about in the past architect fees are set by KDE. So, they are kind of front loaded here at the front part of this project with a lot of the design work that occurs. So, that that number goes down as the project nears

055completion. So, >> It's definitely think it was important to have this out and talked about and what it's for. So, and these are for our roof projects and door projects like within RDC. >> Absolutely. All the all the work that we're doing over there with the renovation projects, the new roofs on RDC and Baker. There's quite a bit of HVAC work that's going on in RDC and it also includes the the improvements to some of the athletic facilities that we've talked about. So, it encompasses kind of that whole project. >> Do I have a motion or any other questions for Mr. Watkins? >> I'll make that motion. >> Motion by Ms. Ritchie. >> I'll second. >> Seconded by Ms. Thomas. >> I'm amazed that they got that they're already done with that. I thought it

056would take forever. >> They're They're This is just the design phase. >> Oh, okay. >> That's great. >> It's done. >> That'd be awesome. >> They They've made a lot of progress so far, but >> Yeah, I know. I've been watching them out there. >> Yeah, and they've been working weekends out there. >> Yes. Mhm. >> All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Motion passes 5 to 0 unless there's any other discussion that I forgot to ask. Okay. All right, we're going to excuse Mr. Dorsey for the next two. He has a conflict of interest. Um So, the next agenda item consider approval of the special inspections proposals for the athletic field work at Robert D. Campbell and JRC Field House, which is BG 26108. So, hi Mr. Buckner. >> Good evening. >>

057I'll I'll be very brief, kind of run through these. Um the first one is a proposal for special inspections for >> [clears throat] >> um for the the practice field over at JRC. So, that's going to involve, you know, compaction testing, concrete testing, all those components that we have as part of that field work. Uh we reached out to several companies. We got two uh proposals back. The lowest proposal is from Solid Ground in the amount of $26,500. Um and we recommend, based on our experience working with them, that you go and approve that if you're Okay. >> So, you all have worked with them before? >> Yeah, we work with them a lot. >> And you said Solid Ground? >> Yes. >> Okay. All right. Um I'll make a motion to approve the special

058inspection proposal for Solid Ground for the athletic field work at RDC and JRC Field Houses. >> I'll second. >> Okay. All those in favor say I. >> I. Any other discussion? Motion passes 4 to 0. Okay. Now, Brian, I don't know if you were here. We moved uh >> 11. >> uh >> Yeah, real quick. Half of 11. >> the geotechnical survey proposals for the athletic field work. >> Okay. Yep. >> Okay. >> Yeah, cuz we actually got calls in this time. So, I know that was on the Is that Yeah, that was that was last month, the one that we had to shift over to this month. That's right. >> Right. And we and that's why Mr. Dorsey stepped out. So, it >> So, that's what I was going to talk about. >> That's

059what I thought. I just want to make sure. >> Yeah. >> Uh so, this one is the geotechnical RFPs that were sent out for the work that we're doing over at baseball and softball. So, that'll allow them to do some bores at both of those locations to confirm uh subsurface conditions before we completely design and installation. So, we did get three calls for three proposals back. Solid Ground in this case was also low again with a total of $7,500 for that work and they also will be able to get the geotech report to us within 4 to 5 weeks from notice. So, I think UES was kind of close in that ballpark in terms of the turnaround time. SMMI was had a little bit more of a delayed time. So, it's really important for us

060trying to push this work forward that we have this information before we send documents out. So, this will allow us to to do just that. >> And that >> of those the same, too. >> The geotechnical, does that is it like measuring something or looking at What is it looking at exactly? >> It determines and evaluates sub- subsurface conditions of the soil. So, they have a boring well or it's a drilling rig that goes out and will actually drill bores into the ground. They'll take a sample out and will look at that and see, you know, how much top soil there is, where's bedrock and things like that depending on how they how deep they want to go with that system. So, that will that analysis that they send us We'll get a We'll get

061a preliminary one in a few weeks. So, typically like a week, maybe 2 weeks after they actually conduct the boring, they'll send us a final report that we'll have in hand within 4 to 5 weeks. But, that preliminary report is really important for us because that'll give us the the the initial analysis of the conditions that we can design the compaction and all the the the uh um the subgrade surfaces for the for the turf. >> Okay. And you're recommending Solid Ground just again. Okay. >> I'll make a motion to approve of the geotechnical services proposals for the athletic field work at RDC, baseball and softball fields PD 26-108. >> With Solid Ground. >> For Solid Ground. >> Right. >> Okay. All right. I'll second. All those in favor say I. >> I. Motion Any

062Any other discussion? Motion passes 4 to 0. Okay. >> All right. So, Ben is coming back in a minute. >> Yeah, [snorts] if if you all see Ben out there, tell him he can come back. You know, I didn't So, the next one Mr. Buckner is consider approval of pay estimate one to Codell Construction for the RDC miscellaneous and athletics renovation project in the amount of $24,107.20. >> Corey, do you have anything to add to this? I mean, this is This tracks with the work that's been completed and we reviewed those. Um obviously, they've they've had a big push on on the projects out there both at at RDC and uh and getting everything kind of ready for Baker. So, we've already gone through all the shop drawing process through May. Um things are on

063order. Obviously, the tactile construction currently over at RDC. Big push out there for the work that's ongoing. So, all of these costs that we've seen so far are in alignment with the work that's been completed today. >> Okay. Awesome. >> All right. >> Do I have a motion? >> I'll make it. >> All right. Motion by Mr. Second by Ms. Fruge. All those in favor say I. >> I. Any other discussion? Motion passes 5 to 0. Okay. Next agenda item, consider approval of pay estimate one um to Codell Construction for the RDC and Baker roof renovation project in the amount of $20,645.23. >> Again, same situation there on the roofs. Um you know, Spray-Tech has been They They They had more kind of completed work at this point uh on RDC. Baker, the team D&I

064on that has gone through shop drawings. They've ordered materials. They're waiting for the materials to arrive before they really start to dig in uh on the work over there, but at RDC I mean things have been going pretty smooth. I mean we've had a couple weather delays with some of the the amount of rain that we've had over the past couple weeks, but otherwise they've they've made a lot of progress. They've they've, you know, done initial removal, they've filled in the area prepping for scarification, and they they have a section I I don't know what square footage is up to now, but they had a significant chunk miles there in the past. >> they've got about 15,000 square feet now completed on RDC. So, they moved into area B. Area A is essentially completed. I

065tried to mention this to you guys when we first go in, band area you go down the short hallway, turn left, and go down toward arc. That area is wrapping up and weather holding we should be wrapped up area A this week. Then they'll flip over to area B. We started in area A because we have ceilings in area A. So, we're going to get that dried in so we can then go back and do ceilings in some of those areas. Uh but right now we're doing really good. I'm very pleased. >> Awesome. >> Can we maybe at the next board meeting get an update on how far we are on all the projects? >> Absolutely. >> Just give us an update so that we know. I'd appreciate it. >> No problem at all. >>

066All right, I'll make a motion to approve this task statement. Um >> I'll second. >> [snorts] >> And second by Mr. Dorsey. All those in favor say I. I. Any other discussion? Motion passes 5 to 0. We'll move on to the next um agenda item, consider approval of the schematic design for the baseball softball renovation in at R. Robert D. Campbell BG 26108. >> Okay, so I'm going to walk through these again pretty quickly. So, schematic design we're just talking about initial scope and kind of the outline for the work that we're proposing to do out there. We are going to be coming back next month with a DD and CD proposal or sorry, a submittal for review. And so that will allow us to then get the documentation out at the end of July.

067So that'll be really important for us to kind of kind of stay on track with it. Um sometimes we'll combine SCs and DDs, but typically in this case we're we're trying to move forward with the information we have. We We have received surveys um on at both locations. And I'll just kind of briefly touch base on on what we're doing here. So this is uh this is the Hammer Throw location for baseball. So the bounds that we have in red is where they're going to be doing turf on the infield portion of that of that particular field. Nothing in outfield here. Uh what we had kind of looked at we're going to do a low contrast striping. The the inner diamond piece here will be green as as well as the piece that kind of

068backs up to the backstop netting uh will also be green. And then we're going to look to do a like a terracotta like terracotta color for the actual, you know, kind of running path between the bases uh as well as to the edge of the outfield. Um we're including new foul poles, a new electrical box at the pitching mound. So that's going to allow them to use pitching machines with a dedicated power source there um on the field. We're also looking at doing some relocation of existing water line that runs right in front of the dugouts. We're trying to push that to the kind of beyond point outside of the outfield so that it gets out of the way if they ever had to come out and and address it or dig it up. Um

069drainage just with similar with the turf systems, we'll have a sub drain or subfield drainage system that will daylight on this backside where we have a drop in grade. But idea being is that that's going to run out off the off the property line or off the field lines rather and daylight out over in this area here. So that way if they have to ever have to do anything with it, you're also not tearing up part of the field in order to kind of do that work. Um and then we're also looking at in the base bid doing a back a new backstop netting system for baseball. >> The I thought I'd heard before that there was a storm I mean a drainage issue on that field. Is it still that way? >> There is

070in behind third base a little bit up there. Uh shallow left field. >> [clears throat] >> It holds water up there. And we've talked about that. That's something I think we're going to And there's part of this that we're doing internally some upgrades to the field as well. And that'll be something that when they go in and they're tearing that up to do the work. >> and they probably remember that that storm >> regrade and elevation and everything else. >> It's also I mean we can we can certainly look into that. I mean one of the benefits here with having a turf system is that all this obviously drains a lot better than >> Yeah. So if you have anything that's flowing in this direction which the grades do suggest that there's some down flow

071this way, it might capture some of the >> I just don't want to get into a situation of having too much storm water hitting Millwood. Because Millwood drained on the other side there and I know in the heavy rains they get quite a bit of water over there. >> Yeah, I mean it looks like what's happening is like all that's kind of channeling down this direction and then heading this way. Based on what Mike and Mike and I talked about in the office. So we we can explore that a little bit more. >> Yeah, I just want to make sure we don't we don't end up flooding Millwood. >> Yeah. If anything this work will improve the drainage certain infield portion of the the field but it may actually take some of the release some

072of the pressure that's causing that ponding to occur off of third. So Um >> Is that the neighborhood off of Colby? >> Yeah, south Colby. It backs up to the ditch. >> Sorry. >> Do you have any Sorry, did you all have any questions >> Well, I just want to make sure I understood which neighborhood you were talking about cuz I didn't know if it would affect affect like any of this like around College Park but it sounds like it's pretty flat. >> It's lower than all those cuz it's kind of got the opposite effect to where Millwood's kind of lower than the field. >> Uh that That sense. >> And then can we flip over to the softball real quick? So this is the softball field behind RDC that you all are familiar with

073as well. So on this, again same situation here but on the softball this is a solid color so it'll be a solid terracotta color for the entire infield portion. With contrasting stripes. We won't have any green on this particular field on the infield. Uh it's also common with softball. Uh you'll see that at GRC. They'll look on the If you look at the the infields at softball at GRC and baseball at GRC, they're going to be identical without having the logos on them. So that was something we kind of talked about initially was hold hold off on the logos for right now um at you know behind behind home. Um base bids still bonus. We do have an alternate that's being proposed for this but base bid would be the turf infield here. Um new

074foul poles again, a new electrical box pitching mound as well as the the backstop and the system. The alternate that we're looking into is to go ahead and replace the lighting on this field. So that lighting will be new poles, new light systems as well. So that will be a larger dollar um cost item at the time of bid so we felt like that was um that would be a good idea to have as an alternate. So if the numbers come in favorable and that's something that you all are interested in taking a bid day, we can look into doing that. >> Did one of them have something like um the press box or something like that? That one there, right? >> Both of them. >> Both of Those are things that we're going to

075do in house. >> Okay. Okay. Okay. Good deal. >> So that's the initial kind of outline now that we have the survey information to kind of show you all of the the bounds and everything of what we're looking at. Um based on our conversation Oh and sorry for the uh underdrain system, we're going to look to to bring that again off of the side so that we're not digging up as much stuff over here. Run that out straight out the gate like that over in this area where the grade starts to drop off a little bit as well. So we're again trying to keep that so that it doesn't do any damage to the actual field itself. >> And this is what I'm talking about, you see, right? >> Yeah, this is yes. It's up

076behind actually the >> The ATC? >> No, ATC. >> I will ask a question. What about the other one that that was the Hamel cooler? The fence right there is in that alley. You took in alley right there. Are you all just going to leave that fence right there? >> We were planning to leave the fence as it is for right now. We're going to have to probably take a section of the fence out to allow the drill rig to come onto the field. So, that's something that we can investigate whether we're able to put that section back fine. Um, but that is something that you all had talked about as a potential thing for some kind of maintenance work in the future, too. So, >> I like leaving an opening or adding a gate

077or something. Well, I think Ms. Thomas is referring to kind of up there by the building um behind the field actually. >> It actually went yeah, went into the alley. >> Yeah. >> That is actually supposed to be behind there. >> I got it. All right. Yeah, I I don't think any of their work will affect that fence. >> It won't go back cuz it like I said, it used to be alley there and then the school board they built that fence there took up part of it. And uh that is my district and they've kind of fussed about that for several years. And I didn't know if y'all were doing work, maybe I would move in the fence back to where it was or >> Um, this is certainly something that we can look

078at as a board. I think whatever we do, we still have to maintain a secure area of the field and stuff to be able to we're going to invest some money in it. We've kind of got to make sure that we can lock it up and take care of it things like that, too. But it's certainly they have completed part of this process. They have completed survey work. So, they actually have um um updated kind of boundaries of all of the property and stuff that if y'all if y'all want >> I would love to see the survey. >> Yeah, I I can share it with you. But, if you and if you all want to look at that a little bit, we certainly can. >> Okay. >> Yeah, if that's that's something that could be

079relocated [snorts] during the construction process, I mean, we can talk about adding that in with whatever demo sheets and everything as well for for this work zone. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Yeah, no problem. >> All right. >> [laughter] >> I make a motion to approve the schematic design for the baseball softball ball renovation at RDC BG 26108. >> I'll second. >> Seconded by Mr. Kaiser. All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Motion passes 5 to 0. Any other discussion? Okay. We'll move on to the next agenda item. Consider approval of change order number one to Somerset Mechanical in the amount of 7,000 six 7,066 dollars and 66 cents for work performed at RDC renovation. >> So, Craig, you can feel free to add anything here. Um a couple of the units that

080are being installed as part of the new work, the manufacturer has has asked and kind of more or less requested that we put a system under that to deaden the vibration from the units. So, um Shropshire Wilson, our our engineers on the project, reviewed that um that request from the manufacturer, and they felt like that would be a good idea to be evaluated to project to go ahead and do that um and help to mitigate any of the that vibration control from those units in the building. So, it acts kind of like a curb essentially that will be below that unit um rather than being directly mounted just on the slab. So, >> I'm going to say yes. >> Two base rails that go underneath those units, like skids almost. Uh, you can get them

081with or without. One you have up there currently have them. Uh, they were designed without. You could certainly install without. But, when we got ready to do our submittal and shop drawings, the manufacturer pulled it out and said, "Hey, just so you know, these don't have base rails. If you added them, you'd probably have much less. Cuts down on a lot of the, >> noise. >> It's almost like a harmonic balancer. Sure, it'll cut down on a lot of vibration. It will cut down on a lot of dampening some of your noise. It's, it's good to have them on there. And like, and like what Ron said, it's it's a value add. So, you didn't pay for them when we bid it. So, it's an add on that would be beneficial, I think, to you

082guys. So, we just said, "Yeah, give us a price and see what it looks like." And that's the price. [snorts] >> Okay. All right. Do you have a motion? >> I'll make the motion. >> Motion by Mr. Keiser. >> Seconded by Ms. Richie. All those in favor, say aye. >> Aye. >> Any other discussion? Motion passes 5 to 0. Okay. Thank you so much for your partnership. >> Now, now the only other thing and I'll before I let them leave is there's been a we've had a little bit of issue with just a piece of equipment. And you were talking about updates and stuff. And really, very, it's a very early in the work. And the only major thing I'll let Craig speak to is just some, some lead times on equipment. >> Yeah. So,

083when when we were doing the design phase and the bid phase, we found more equipment that was provided in the mechanical equipment for this project based on design. So, we nailed them down kind of on the front end to what are your lead times for the unit ventilators, your condensers, and the NC on the wall units that we're using over there. So, when we got our shop drawings approved, we released them. All that went all fine. When they sent back, they came back with some crazy lead times. So, since then, essentially, they told us we wouldn't have them until July, which wouldn't have worked for us. So, we brought the email back out from where we kind of had them on the hook when we started this process, and we ran that up the chain.

084So, we were able to get in touch with one of the main guys up there. We were able to get that estimated back down to early July, which is where we we really wanted them end of June. We've got them now down to July the 10th, which is much better. That's a ship day. These units do not have to come through customs, which was our main fear, cuz sometimes you can get hung up in customs for a couple weeks. These unit ventilators will not have to come through customs. So, they are to ship July the 10th. Now, we're still working to get that improved. And what I mean by that is we're basically going to skip the line on somebody who's ordered the same units that we're using that may not be as critical and

085push them back. So, I feel like that'll probably improve. If they show up now as they are telling us they're going to, we should still be okay. On July the 10th, I mean July 10th. So, we can all get You're talking about 2 to 3 days if it's from ship day. Correct. So, we can augment some staff and make up that difference, and Somerset Mechanical has kind of been on board with us the whole time to say, "We're not going to be the reason this falls behind. If we have to, we'll pull some resources from some other places." So, I'm not overly concerned about this saying, but I think I think it was definitely worth mentioning and bringing it to you guys so you guys are up to speed on what we know. Again, I'll

086look for those to improve some, and if with any luck at all, and we can back them up another 6 or 8 days, and we get them, it'll be a reasonable reasonable schedule for you guys, and all will be well. Worst case scenario, they show up late and you see a bunch of you see a bunch of mechanical contractors in there pushing through. So we're we're on it. We're we've been on it since the first phone call, first email. And in about 4 days we were able to get that much done. So I feel pretty good about it. We've got We do a lot of business with with Thermal. Summers has a ton of business with Thermal. They're not you know what I think they're trying to do is just a sticking a service station

087kind of thing. We're We're not in bad shape. We're just a little bit later than what we thought but I think we'll be all right regardless. >> Yeah, I mean the you know Codell Thermal Equipment, our engineers, all kind of sat down together during design like and picked those specific units right that had the lead time so that we knew it would fit within the schedule and summer we knew it was going to be pinched but you know that would work. And so it's it's a good thing that you know everybody kind of went through that process and had the documentation back it up. >> Okay. >> Thank you so much for that information. All right. So um our next agenda item is consider approval for the letter of interest to sell central office and

088it says Braden Watson. >> I think I must have got auto corrected there. >> [laughter] >> So then I was thinking maybe we had somebody named Braden. >> I think it's me. >> Okay. >> [laughter] >> So um at the last meeting we talked about going ahead and getting the process rolling for selling this building as we have purchased 273 Shoppers to move central office to. Um kind of one of the first we talked about ways and you guys wanted me to get letters of interest from realtors to get that process started. I had one letter of interest from Mr. Lyle Adams who is here and I'm going to let him talk about he and I have had conversations about their experience selling obviously he was the listing agent for the Shoppers Drive property when

089we bought it. I do feel like he is very knowledgeable and experienced in dealing with commercial real estate especially locally and uh not just because he's only the only one but I do recommend him for this to take on this venture [clears throat] with us. >> Thank you. So uh My name's Lyle Adams. I'm a commercial real estate appraiser and a real estate agent here in Winchester. Um I list a lot of residential commercial industrial. I appraise exclusively commercial industrial. Um large properties. I've got a pretty vast rolodex of people who are interested in buildings of this size. Um I list everything at a 3% commission. If for some reason I were to be on both sides of it I would take 3%. So that's that's the way it worked out for the health department.

090Hopefully that's the way it worked out for you all. Any questions I can answer for consideration? >> Are you with a certain company? >> Adams Real Estate Services. >> It's Adams Real Estate Services. >> Yes. My dad and I own the company. >> Okay. And you're from Winch- you live in Winchester? >> I don't live in Winchester but I'm from Winchester every day. >> every day. Okay. And you graduated from GRC and all that. >> Yes, 2005. >> Well, I didn't need to know that either. >> Yeah, >> worked at GRC when he crashed it. >> [laughter] >> I I don't know what we can I don't I guess I'm just I'm not sure what we're just any anything we shouldn't >> ask her? >> I nothing >> Nothing is okay. >> So, I know

091in particular that Brandon and I talked about uh whether I had >> the the knowledge of marketing something like this. Um yes, but firstly I would market it locally uh before I exhaust a lot of expensive um tools on my own behalf. So, that's the way Shop worked out. I was able to get it locally listed um call my contacts and showed it to more people than just the Board of Education. Um but in doing so also hired professional photographers to come in uh do some aerial photos as well. Um then after a short time in the local market, I would push it out probably to a national company that, you know I don't like LoopNet, but there are some alternatives to LoopNet and I feel like that LoopNet is probably a company you've all

092heard of before. Um I've got contacts with national buyers because I feel like property of this size is probably going to handle uh somebody beyond local. >> Mhm. >> So, >> Okay. Does anyone have questions for Mr. Adams? >> Would that be a 6-month listing or a year? Or is it >> I would prefer a year. You know, the typically something like this is going to take first off of all, we're going to have to figure out a price that you all want to be happy with. Um then it's going to require exposure as well as marketing. Um there's a lot of expense that I'm going to have to incur in that short period of time. You know, realtors typically joke that the first realtor lists it too high, the second realtor realtor lists it

093what he told the first group to list it at and he sells it. So, I would rather have a little more time with the property to understand the market for this property to sell as. I have a question. >> Do you have any questions for him? >> Mhm. I just I'm not [clears throat] sure what we're voting on. Just >> Yeah, I don't So, So, all we're asking is that you accept the letter of interest and um I think give us um uh the power to uh enter into a contract with Adam's Real Estate Services. >> Okay. >> Uh and then we will work up a contract and then bring it back to you at the next meeting for you all to approve. >> Okay. >> I just wanted you to be able to uh

094ask any questions uh of Mr. Adams here before we get into a contract, you know, >> Yes. >> negotiated contract. >> Is this motion getting So, the listing agreement wouldn't be presented till next month, is that correct? >> Correct. >> So, authorize Mr. Howard or Mr. Watkins to bring back a listing agreement with Adam's Realty for the next meeting. >> With that said, I'll make that motion. >> Did you get that? >> [laughter] >> And I'll second so. >> I'll second. There we go. >> Okay. So, the um we are we're considering approval of Well, the actual agreement would be approved at the next meeting if I understand Mr. Watkins correctly. It would be to authorize >> I think we're approving this letter of interest. >> Yes. >> To sales center office and Mr. Howard

095and Mr. Watkins to get a contract ready for the next meeting. >> Yes. All right. That's it. All right. >> Isn't that what you all said? >> Yeah, I think >> Yes. >> All right. All those in favor say I. >> I. Any other discussions? We appreciate you coming in and meeting with us. I'm sure you are. >> Thank you for having me. >> Thank you, sir. >> Okay, motion passes 5 to 0. All right. I'm going to ask Ms. Alicia Ellis to come up and give us our financial update. >> All right. Good evening. >> Good evening. >> So, we are currently at 95% collection of our revenues at this time, which is 4% up from this same time last year. So, that's good news. Um we are 88% at our expenses, which is

0968% up from last year. All that has to do with salary increases from the year before and just inflation, things we've talked about. Um so, no surprises there in all honesty. Um property taxes, we are at 104%. This is as of May. Um franchise, we're at 82. Motor vehicle, we're at 91. So, collectively overall, we have reached 100% of those three property um of those three tax brackets that we collect on. As of June so far, what we have collected, motor vehicle is actually at 104%. So, we've exceeded the budget on motor. So, overall, we have exceeded our budget as far as property taxes. So, that's fantastic news. We have come in above and beyond, which is good. So, that's going to cover our franchise cuz we are not going to meet that franchise budget.

097So, thankfully, property and motor will cover the lack of collection on franchise, which again, we have talked about that bucket of money that is uh >> Never know when we're going to get it or not. >> Shoulders raised, don't know if we're going to get it or not, in all honesty, cuz that is based on business income taxes. You know, when they pay them, sometimes they put up >> 5 years >> But, it's just you don't know when you're going to get that. So, we're already conservative on that budget, but it's uh holding strong at 82%. Um but, like I said, thankfully, property and motor has exceeded those budgets at 104. So, overall, we're above budget on those three line items. So, our revenues are going to come in above. So, any questions on where

098we sit right now on that? Questions? >> No, thank you, as always, for your your updates and transparency. >> You're welcome. >> All right, our next agenda item is to authorize payment of salaries and accounts payable. >> I'll make so move. >> All right, Mr. Dorsey. >> I'll second. >> Seconded Mr. Kaiser. All those in favor, say I. I. Any other discussion? Motion passes 5 to 0. Next agenda item is consider approval of the payroll calendar for 2026-2027. So, this is the updated dates for the next fiscal year for us to post online and how we will cover our payroll periods and pay dates. So, this is your all's approval and we will post that and move on for next school year. >> I'll make a motion. >> Motion by Mr. Kaiser. >> Second. >>

099Who was that, Ms. Ritchie? Um, all those in favor say I. >> I. >> Motion passes 5 to 0. Acknowledgement of KDE grant management assurances. So, we have This is our grant management system that we call GMAP. Um, they make us go through and click yes on every single one of these 52 page items assurances. Basically, that we are going to comply with all of these in order to have our federal grants. So, this is our assurances and then they have to be board approved and then we state make a little little statement that Mr. Howard will upload from his log in that says we agree to all this stuff so that we can have our federal grants. >> Okay. >> So, we need your all's approval. >> So, it says acknowledgement. It doesn't say

100>> So, basically, you're acknowledging that you agree to the >> Okay, so >> You don't really have to approve them cuz you got to do them. It doesn't matter if you like them or not. You're not going to get your grants. We definitely want to say yes to all that. So, the statement reads that the board acknowledged on this date. >> We acknowledge it. >> We acknowledge. >> Put the date in that you got to check. So, that's why we say acknowledge cuz the statement says the board acknowledged on such and such a date. >> All right. Um, our next agenda item, consider approval of fidelity bond for 2026-2027. >> So, as your treasurer, I have to be bonded, so it is you all approving my fidelity bond. >> Motion by Mr. Dorsey. >> And

101I'll second that. All those in favor say >> I. >> Motion passes 5-0. Any other discussion? Okay. Next agenda item, consider approval of reserve balance for sick leave payable. >> So, I am required to reserve um a sick leave liability amount, which in turn there is KRS's that only the board is allowed to reserve fund balances. So, I'm just asking you all to approve this as this an annual thing that you all approve for me that once I pull the sick leave balances and figure out what that amount is, I will do that adjustment in my year end. So, this is just a statement for you all to and that's in your um package like what the big statement is for me to approve. So, if you all will approve for me to fix that

102balance in our fund balance when I do all the year end close items, please. I don't know what that amount is yet until I finalize all the numbers for the year end. >> Okay. >> I have to update that liability amount every year. >> So, I'll make that motion. >> All right, motion by Mr. Kaiser. >> I'll [snorts] second. >> Second by Mr. Dorsey. All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Any other discussion? Motion passes 5-0. Acknowledgement, indirect costs for school year 2026-2027. >> So, this is just to make the board aware that we will be charging indirect costs to both our food service department and all of our federal grants. At the time when I posted this to the board, we did not know the rates, but they dropped yesterday, actually. Um

103and so, like this year we charged 16.79% to food service. The rate that we are allowed to charge this next year is 17.01%. So, a little bit different. Federal grants was 2.5% and we 2.75% next year. So, that is based on our um financial reports, which was based on the audit that got submitted. So, there's a people calculation that the state does that then in turn tells you what those allowable rates are. So. >> All right. All right. Our next agenda item, consider approval to reduce committed general fund balance for the purpose of a rotation and replacement schedule. So, in finalizing and looking at all of our stuff again, like I just said, only the board can commit um reserve balances. I realized that when we initially did our fund balances of that committed rotation,

104we committed 3.1 million originally back in >> 2023 >> 20 September of 22. >> [laughter] >> And we have never come back to the board and officially changed that balance, but we have changed it in our budget cycles. We went to 2.7 million and then now we actually have dropped it down to 700,000 in the current budget that we just presented to you all in May. >> So, this is the official board res- like board >> Big number like >> Approval. Thank you. That's what I'm looking for. For you all to change it to the 700,000 of the committed funds. >> we need to change it to We need to approve for it to be reduced to 700,000. >> Yes. Cuz right now the committed >> was 3.1 >> Yes, was 3.1. So, that's the

105last approval. Like if the auditors go back and look for the approval of the fund balance, it's sitting at 3.1. Whereas in my budget, I've only got it at 700. So, I need your official board approval for committed funds to be the 700, please, to match your budget. Cuz there is a KRS somewhere that states only the board can officially make committed fund balances. I just need to get clean all that up. >> I'll make a motion. >> Made motion by Mr. Kaiser. >> Seconded by Mr. Dorsey. All those in favor say I. >> I. Any other discussion? Motion passes 5-0. All right. Consider approval of the 2026-2027 pledge of collateral agreement. So, attached was the collateral agreement that I will need you all to sign and then we will send to Traditional Bank for

106them to sign as well for our depository agreement basically for this next fiscal year. And again, KRS agreements of So, that's our pledge of collateral as our depository for the next fiscal year. That we had agreed upon to extend one more year with Traditional Bank. All right. Do we have a motion? >> I'll make that motion. >> Motion by Ms. Ritchie. >> I'll second. >> Seconded by Ms. Thomas. All those in favor, say aye. >> Aye. >> Any other discussion? Motion passes 5-0. Consider approval of carry forward requests. So again, this is another one of those committed balance things. >> [laughter] >> So, Section 6 funds as of June 8th when we pulled it and the balance might change based on what the schools actually in when I close out the thing, but [clears throat]

107carry forward balance that we will commit to carry over for the schools in their Section 6 funding. This is just a This was included and it's got the balance on there as of that date. That's what they had. So, it will be at least that amount of money, but it'll probably be less depending on what it actually ends at when I close out the year. So, just asking them all to commit those funds for Section 6 specifically. >> So, they get to use that next year. >> Yes. >> That's good. >> Yeah. And if they had told me specifically what they were going to use it for, I kind of made a notation so you could see that. Some of them had wanted to carry it over to use for like an instructional assistant position

108or something like that. So, some of them have a larger amount balance than some others cuz they had a specific intention for it. >> But it stays at the school level. Is that what It's not us recouping it or >> Correct. >> Okay. >> I'll make a motion to approve the carry forward request. [snorts] >> I have a motion by Mr. Dorsey. >> I'll second. >> Seconded by Ms. Richie. All those in favor say aye. >> Aye. Any other discussion? Motion passes 5 to 0. Consider approval of student fee schedules. So, these are the updated schedules. Again, a red book thing. Only fees that are approved by the board can be charged. Um so, the only things that have changed ERC, which um you all actually approved mid-year this last year. We added $10 for

109background checks for for the dance. Um Dr. Holly stood before you all and asked specifically for that, but they just wanted it listed on the schedule, so it's kind of transparently listed. So, that's the only thing that changed on the ERC. RDC, with the Paxton Patterson labs coming in, she had several class um fees listed for different CTE classes that are not going to be there next year because of the Paxton Patterson. So, she removed those and then added Paxton Patterson lab fee for $20. So, that's um the difference there. And then we added a $5 Paxton Patterson, and I failed to remove the black achievers and Hispanic. So, that needs to come off of Baker. The So, if you would flip to Baker's, >> It's page three. >> Yeah, so the $50 I just

110now realized that I didn't remove it. The $50 black and Hispanic achievers needs to come off because that is still an outside group, not us. Um so, it doesn't need to be listed on our fee schedules. We don't collect that. And then we added the $5 Paxton Patterson lab. And then nothing changed on that one, I don't think. >> Yeah. K- For RDC, the Paxton Patterson lab is just saying it's $30. >> It's 15. >> 20. They have a more extensive >> Mhm. Yeah. >> than Baker. Like there's more I think somebody else can explain it better than me. >> So, if if there are students who maybe can't afford it >> I'm glad you asked that. So, if you read the bottom line there, we added kind of just so it's posted out there

111for people to see. Um if you're a free or reduced student that qualifies, you are exempt from paying these fees. You're not You do not have to pay them. And then, if you're a student who needs an exemption or a waiver, they just need to reach out to the principal. So, these fees are in no way keeping any student from participating. They are not required. >> Yeah, I'm really excited about this SWAP thing. It's going to be so awesome. Think Families are going to really, really love it. So. All right. >> So, if we're going to approve this, do we need to approve it in amended? >> Yes. I'll approve it with that amendment. >> With the removal of the black and white thing. >> I'm sorry. I missed >> I'll make that >> Okay.

112Motion by Mr. Dorsey. >> I'll second. >> Second by Mr. Keiser. All those in favor say aye. >> Aye. Motion passes. Any other discussion? Motion passes 5-0. Thank you so much. >> All right. Um our next agenda item, consider approval of Georgetown College MOA for clinical student teachers, Dr. Tamy Parish. >> This is just our annual update to continue bringing in great uh clinical practitioners and student teachers into the district. But, we work with tons of universities, and I was just sharing with Mrs. Smith that we get so many that sometimes I feel like we're going to run out of teachers. So, great things happening even in the preparation of growing your own department. >> Okay. >> I'll make a motion to approve. >> Motion by Mr. Keiser. >> I'll second. >> Seconded by Ms.

113Richie. All those in favor say "I". >> I. Any other discussion? Motion passes 5 to 0. Okay. Thank you, Dr. Parish. Um our next agenda item is um consider approval of board members to attend the 2026 Summer Leadership Institute in Lexington on July 10th through 11th, 2026. Um this is KSBA leadership and um I know for myself, I only need like an half an hour of a CEU. Um and so I'm I'm proposing that if if any of us need CEUs that we attend the the Lexington Leadership Institute Summer Institute rather than us going in the winter to the winter symposium cuz we all should be able to get our CEUs uh by then. Um so I'm proposing that we really take that in consideration so that we can find a way to help save

114money also cuz it it we we have to have we know just all of us really take a look at our CEUs and that's not the right our credits and and there's also going to be opportunities to do lunch and learns in then the fall um greeting meet and greet in our region. So that we can try to save money and not attend the winter symposium. So just want to bring that. That's my thoughts on that. We won't have any new um unless someone does a write-in, we we won't have any brand new board members in December. >> The only downside of this is that it is on Friday like Friday and Saturday. Yeah. I mean if I need if I need CEs, I don't know if I'd be able to get there that like

115get off work that quickly >> Mhm. >> to be there, but >> And if you can't, that's understandable. Um I just I just know like I I'm not planning on attending the winter symposium cuz I don't need to and I'm just trying to provide, you know, all of us to to just >> I just need to I understand. Yeah. >> Yeah, if I can if I can make it work, I'm all about it. >> Yeah. Um so all of us just take a look at our ours and and just if you can go, you know, try to do that so we won't have a hotel cost. Um that sort of thing. It'll it'll really cut down. >> in Lexington >> Yeah, I don't think so. Yeah. Yeah, and actually it was in Lexington last year,

116too, so I'm surprised they had it again in Lexington. They usually >> They usually do it at the Marriott. >> Oh, yeah, it's right off the exit, so um But yes, I only I know I need half an hour I think. >> a half hour. >> Yeah, so um and I'm not actually going to attend this myself. I'm going to just wait until there's a like a lunch or something. I can't get off work, so um I can't I could, but they a lot going on that day, so um But I think it's important just that we that if you want to attend it >> to this, yeah. I'll make a motion that >> the whoever wants to go to the summer one can go to the summer one. >> Okay. Motion by Mr. Dorsey.

117>> I'll second. >> Second by Mr. Dorsey. Any other suggestions after we vote? >> [cough and clears throat] >> Let's all vote. Huh? >> You didn't vote. >> We didn't vote, no. >> Are we voting now? I >> Pass. >> I'm really interested in >> [cough] >> that. >> Oh, I >> Whoever wants to vote [laughter] can vote. >> I just I forgot how to ask that. It's just been long time. >> Motion passes unanimously. >> Yeah, any other discussion about that? Okay, motion passes 5-0. All right, our next agenda item is consider approval of first reading of KSBA updates to policy and procedures, um Mr. Howard. >> Sure, so um what we have we've got about 171 pages, so it's it's a lot it's a lot. Um what I will say a couple things.

118We specifically contract with KSBA to make sure they send us our own policies with revisions coming out of the legislative session primarily, which is almost all of this. Um so if a law changed for instance on expulsion hearings, now there's a couple shalls versus giving the board and we've talked a little bit about this. That's now reflected in the policies procedures. Um this is a first reading, so we will have to bring this back to you. Um which we'll get to that in just a minute because we need to set a meeting to decide a meeting date officially to have a special called meeting to to do the second reading, but as you go through if you have questions, uh we can always make changes to the second reading. All this is acknowledging that we

119have them now, we're reading through it and then again, I don't see anything >> A lot of Yeah. >> A lot of getting Becky to as Ms. McCoy has worked with a couple of the boards too. Um and it is that when you look through it, so just so you know >> Um there's a version on Word. >> There's anything with red beside it, that's the part that's actually been changed or updated. A lot of times it's just a couple words or at the bottom Yeah, there's new KRSs attached um and they'll be in red too, so. >> Um it talks about like a third Is that my reading program and has a third teaching from a third or uh a three-tiered approach to that. And it's in there. And Mr. Smith is looking at

120me like I've lost my mind. But it it talks about teaching from like a three-tiered approach for reading. I don't cuz I was reading it on Sunday. So it I've never heard of I just it seemed weird. Like it was a a weird way of asking the question. I I don't think we do I think if I said it that way that if we were doing that we would know that, right? >> Oh, you're talking about the three queuing systems that >> There you go. >> What does it mean? What does it look like? Yeah. >> So what is Do we do that? Like what is that? >> Well, we used to kind of have something but no longer do. >> We don't do that anymore. Okay. >> It's old. That's like >> Cuz yeah,

121cuz I don't I didn't remember my son going through that. So I was like three that's third Okay. Thank you. >> So I think it's under the curriculum policy. I think it just ran. >> Yeah. It's like in different parts, too. Like they repeat What I've noticed they repeat themselves several times, you know. And then the other big thing is we have to It's not a big thing but to include essential time because that's very important, you know. >> I don't know if that's in there, too. >> I Uh and then there's some things to super think contracts that we talked about before. There's again some things on the spot and some minor changes to side base again just curriculum changes. >> Yeah. >> Um I don't I mean again there's 171 pages. So if

122you guys have specific questions but there was nothing that we were not going to do or follow. >> Oh well, yeah, we have yeah. So Okay. I was just wondering about that third queuing or whatever that was weird. >> Yeah, and there's again they they got sometimes the legislators get in the weeds a little bit on trials like with technology. There's a part in there about not uh with your younger than the third grade not teaching on a computer and stuff like that. New accountability system and updates. So all that is included in here with the local kind of building piece and then the changes in the specific kind of building piece. >> Okay. >> [snorts] >> All right, I'll make a motion to approve the first reading of the KSBA updates to policy and

123procedure. >> I'll second. >> Seconded by Ms. Thomas. All those in favor say I. >> I. Any other discussion? Motion passes 5 to 0. Okay. Next one is >> The next thing again working with the board to schedule a special called meeting for the second reading of KSBA policies. There's also some construction documents. Um, I don't know if we'll have time to get um negotiate a contract, but if you want me to try to get that done by that meeting, we can we can also put that on there so we can start the ball moving forward, but Um, I think >> We decided on Tuesday, June 30th. We we all would be be available at 6:00 p.m. If that works for you. >> Absolutely works for me. >> Yeah. Okay. So, bless you. Bless you.

124Make a So, we need to approve >> Make a motion to have a special called board meeting for the second reading of the updates on KSBA policies on Tuesday, June 30th at 6:00 p.m. >> Great. >> Second. >> All right, second by Ms. Crutcher. Yes. In this building. Yes. All those in favor say I. >> I. Motion [clears throat] passes 5 to 0. And >> were to need a virtual option on that, we could do that just like we do at regular meetings. >> That's what I meant to ask is do do we need to be here for anything, like signatures or like >> We'll just need to approve the minutes eventually. You and I will need to sign off on that, but >> Yeah, okay. Guess if we All right, you. Got you. All

125right. Um and now Mr. Howard, you're the superintendent's report. >> Superintendent's report, okay. Um We We haven't It's been It's been that long since we met, but a couple things I want to kind of highlight. So, I printed off some some pretty good flyers that are going out in the community, just reminders. Including we've now started a weekly snapshot for the Hattie McClure Cardinal Community Center. So, those are the classes that are going on each week. Uh we also have updated the website. You can go to the new website. It's under departments. So, if you go to our home site, hover over departments, you can click there and you can now schedule. Uh there's a new link where you can click and schedule or rent or register for usage of the facility, whether it be

126you want to have a birthday party, you put your information in there, it goes straight to um Ms. Bush and her staff. Um It also highlights the friends of the center. So, we're really again leaning into our vision and mission of connecting the district and community as one. And our community has stepped up big time through Ms. Bush's efforts to connect with them. So, those are also listed on that. So, you'll kind of see that coming out, which is a little bit new. Um our feeding program, summer feeding. Um I talked about this last time. We had our second rotation. We went from 1,000 meal packets to 1,200 meal packets. We're working on getting that number higher through KDE. Uh we are limited. We can only have a certain number based on their approval. Um

127if they approve us for more, we'll keep asking each time, then we will get more meals because we gave out um essentially 24,000 meals uh at this last drive-in. Uh that's about 12,000 breakfasts and 12,000 um lunches. Um so, a huge shout-out. Again, we recognize one of our partners, Traditional Bank, came over and actually helped us hand out um package to our communities or families. Um our maintenance crew helps out when they can. We've got various volunteers. Always our food service crews, so yeah, just huge shout out to those folks. Thank you for the police helping us with some traffic. Thanks. I saw Chief Hall with the blue lights on one time. I think it was just to reroute traffic. Um bus book the book bus is back as we also put in our information.

128You can catch it at the Save-A-Lot. Um again Monday, Wednesday, Friday it runs at different times. Monday it's at Save-A-Lot, uh Trap Box is grocery store, Moral Park, and First Christian Church. Uh and then again each day we go to different sites, so we're trying to get around the entire community. That is different than the library book bus. Um they're both great options, um but we've also through hard work and donations uh huge shout out to Miss Allison the bus driver. She will not let anyone else take that route. In fact, I think uh everyone is scared to even ask uh to take it other than her cuz she loves spending time and seeing smiling faces, and they truly build connections and relationships throughout the summer. A lot of times the kids come back again

129they yes they get the free book, but to hang out with Miss Allison for a little bit. Um she is truly a light in a lot of our kids' lives and families' lives, so big shout out to her. Um we are working on uh back to school nights. This is just for you. Uh these are tentatives, so we might have some movements around that, but I wanted to make sure you can kind of uh put them on your schedule cuz I know you guys like to get out and about. Um and then we're starting uh July will be here. Um so before that we'll close out the Literacy Lift Off. It's been going wonderfully under Miss Fith and her leadership and her staff. Uh again free transportation to and from, two meals, uh and closing

130gaps with phonics reading, and then even adding a piece of mathematics this year. Um and that's 5 days a week, which is also a big jump from last year. So, just like we talked about closing those gaps, we're also trying to limit summer learning gaps where kids uh stop doing academic activities with high-quality folks in May and they don't come back till August. Uh we're changing that here in Clark County. That's free uh for anyone that participates. Aftercare will be all summer long. Of course, we talked about uh opening up a second uh daycare for our staff over BCTC. So, it'll be the Nest at BCTC. I didn't come up with this stuff. It'll be expanded opportunity for our classified staff. So, we're really excited about that. It'll be open all year long. Um, and

131then uh professional development. We'll bring our principals and directors back in uh the week of July 20th for our own mini retreat. So, we won't be going outside. Again, we're trying to be very cognizant of expenditures. We won't be getting down hotel rooms, things like that. We'll do a lot of that in-house team-building training right here. So, I'll give you kind of a schedule. So, if you're free, stop by. You know, our district leaders will love to hang out and split some coffee. Um, and then uh in July, I'll kind of give you next steps on first day of school starting, teacher report dates, PD, but we'll we'll have another meeting before then. But, we wanted to cover kind of some things that were going on at the end of June and then starting right
