001[Laughter] good evening it is wonderful to see so many excited people here this evening i welcome you to the regular school board meeting of our bethelmu consolidated school corporation this afternoon we do start each of our meetings with reflections and i have that opportunity this evening so my reflections are borrowed from someone close and they seem to be appropriate for the meeting at which we are honoring the top 10 seniors from our high schools so here you are now faced with the rest of your lives a crossroads if you will you've come from many different places backgrounds and walks of life only to separate once again however no matter where you go or what you do whether that's entering the workforce going to college volunteering your services or just getting out of columbus you all
002will share a common goal the desire for success but what is success too often today i believe that people have lost sight of what success truly is everywhere you turn someone is telling you how to be successful or what you should do with your lives true success has nothing to do with how much money you make what car you drive or where you live you are the only ones who can determine your futures and what success will hold for yourselves the most important characteristic about success is that it is something that must be self-determined unique to each individual it should be a goal a dream that satisfies you that makes you happy although outside help from friends and family is appreciated and often crucial to obtaining success the definition should be one of your own
003whether that to be to play professional football join the peace corps be happy in marriage or lead quote a normal life whatever that may be it doesn't matter success needs to come from the truth inside you are only given one life one chance to accomplish your desires and ambitions and you need to make the most of it it will not be easy nor will it happen overnight it will require three things first vision and reality to focus on your aspirations hard work like mark twain once said the dictionary is the only place where success comes before work and third perseverance to always keep going no matter what happens you will stumble and fall but the only way to fail is not to get back up and try again do not become too focused on end
004results as you may have often heard from various people the journey is often more important than the destination so even if you do not end up where you thought you would you will end up somewhere great and on that note it only seems appropriate to close with a little dr zeus you're off to great places today is your day your mountain is waiting so get on your way these words are from kyle shed valedictorian columbus east high school may of 2006 and so with that if you'll stand and join me in a pledge of allegiance i pledge allegiance all right all seven of us are here we're just too excited about this evening so with that i do have a quorum and i'll call this meeting to order we have here on our screen the

011teaching at taylorsville because i truly believe it's the school with heart i also love the relationships that i build with the students here just the other day i had an eighth grader get off the bus here and run in and say hi to me who i had in class seven years ago and after she left i thought to myself this is why i'm here it's for those students and those relationships that i create with them one thing that has stayed the same from the first year of teaching is my teammates i've always had amazing teammates who have created a environment for me that's really challenged me pushed me made me think of things differently so that's one thing that's never changed is my amazing team i've had every year and one thing that has changed
012is my personal life i now have two kids of my own and my son was diagnosed with autism last year and that's really changed my perspective of my classroom every child sitting in my classroom is somebody's baby somebody's child and they care immensely about them and so do i and so i think a lot when i'm planning and when i'm working with students if this was my child what would i do how would i react how would i want somebody else to treat my child and i always have that in the forefront now that i have my own children how would i want my child to be treated in the the classroom brought a lot of unknown to families and that unknown creates fear and i wanted to be that consistent peace in their life
013that wasn't changing that wasn't unknown and creating more stress receiving this award means a lot to me it's being a teacher is something i've always wanted to be since first grade and i'm very passionate about it and love love what i do and so to be honored with this award that so many great educators have received before me is an honor and i have said it before but i would not be able to have to be where i am without my teammates and my current teammates my past teammates my administrators my students i just they have made me who i am as a teacher today [Music] congratulations again jennifer welcome all right thank you let me roll dr shed thank you so we have some more celebrations tonight and we're going to get to the

024and i think it was uh franklin central and uh for them having a new coach and being a small team but being mighty uh they actually won their first meet it was a homemade so it made it even sweeter so congratulations to them very good absolutely that's exciting others really yeah i'm shocked so you know in between in between board meetings i i always make a real conscious effort to keep my eyes and ears open for all good things bcsc and for whatever reason between our last board meeting and this one um i just couldn't keep up and so um i don't know if it's this time of year or what it is but you know from all that i read the newspaper here on the radio reading the bcsc newsletters you know hear from
025people out in public i think um it's real easy probably to fall in a pattern of taking things for granted but you know i can honestly sincerely say i have a lot of friends and acquaintances across the state in various districts and i i would have serious doubt that um you know many of them could you know find as many student and staff accomplishments as what exists here in bcsc i think it's uh you know there are a lot of special things here that oftentimes unfortunately probably do get taken for granted or overlooked so with that said i'm going to go through quickly here a few and we'll keep the academic theme going um first fourth grader from richards uh simeksha singh who won a regional essay contest put on by the association of indiana
026county celebrate your county's history congratulations to her columbus north senior matthew lu who we've already heard about first in the indiana math league state competition as an individual and the math league team at north for finishing second overall in the state as a team the south side math team coached by mrs keel in their state competition got 31 of 32 correct and earned the state title in the large school division um in the math bowl competition and mrs kiel said that very proud of the kids it's uh it's oftentimes a very spirited and often very intense competition and she's always told the children that it's truly never been about the competition but it's about the collaboration and teamwork built through practice and when she said that it kind of made me think of the new
027tagline together we learned just a few more congrats to the academic super bowl teams at north and east fine arts team at east the math science teams at north that are headed to state championship may 7th at purdue um hard not to mention the bcsc robotics team uh 49-26 nicknamed galactic uh which won the indiana state championship last uh april 5th or well april 15 16 at rose holman and recently competed in international competition in houston which i hear will be uh in the newspaper tomorrow um commendations to all that bcsc staff who had a hand in developing the professional development for staff on april 14th uh it looked like all kinds of good topics a good variety very relevant topics for uh teachers to pick from and i'm sure you know very worthwhile that
028day um heard recently from um allison stidham who was the virtual pathway teacher of the year who received a grant from the heritage fund for math and science initiative for elementary teachers and she shared a little bit about some monthly steam events that they are doing at cvp for kindergarten first second third fourth fifth graders that's held in person at the cvp building and their latest one was april showers where they learned about the water cycle clouds and rain and so uh yeah you know the cvp important to know that you know it's not all virtual those kids are coming in and having some experiences with their peers as well and then um cassidy duel who was a richards teacher of the year says that at richards the pbis team had just recently implemented a
029citizen of the week throughout their school community and at the end of the week a student from each class has chosen the citizen of the week based on their emphasized trait for that week and mrs duell says it's encouraged a great culture across the school where students are able to relate to each other and celebrate one another in their strengths so again i know these accomplishments are you know they're just a drop in the bucket of what is really um going on so thanks thanks to all the students and staff and all the good things they do on a daily basis uh behind the scenes to make bcsc such a good place to learn thank you great thank you and we do appreciate that you bring all of that to us all right no one
030has signed up for public comments we are trucking on next is our school board member reports we'll turn to colleagues if you've been to committees need to report mr grimes so a lot of things going on with the school foundation angie emmett community development coordinator her last day was on april 22nd uh angie did a lot and will be sorely missed and whoever fills her shoes will will have their work cut out for them so good luck to angie and and thank you for the time that you were on board and i she will stay on as a board member uh the executive director nicole cunningham uh this is scholarship season bcsf um manages just over 20 scholarships and is in the thick of sorting those scholarships out and then last chance to plug the

032great thank you are there other reports yeah for the redevelopment commission i'll say that you might see in the newspaper that the second street grocer urban location groundbreaking was last week so that's very exciting i think that'll be a good addition to downtown um i also just want to mention in the read and you know we talk a lot about downtown businesses and stuff i think since um some offices have come back since the playground is now open again in the comments if you haven't been there that's quite impressive they did a nice job obviously but businesses and patrons are starting to come back to downtown and that's pretty exciting i know a lot of a lot of the business owners down there like to see that so spend your money locally and support support
033them and you may have seen i think in the papers over the weekend perhaps that that there's somebody looking to take over orange julius in the comments which i think would be awesome because i like my ice cream and um and then last but not least i will say again bricks are still for sale people for the new sidewalk okay so great way to make yourself a permanent place here in columbus right on the redevelopment commission's website thank you all right thank you miss wilden i will move on to cabinet reports and dr roberts we have the first reading of a policy and a internal complaint policy yeah so you have two policies in your packets uh just as a first reading and so a reminder in terms of policies we first introduce them to
034you for your review and consideration no no approval and then the next meeting we would actually ask for your approval for those revisions or additions of policies to become uh actual policies for bcsc the first one is revision uh so neola policy 4434 a reminder of niola that is the the group that we work with to stay on top of statute and other case law that occurs across the country that might dictate some of the changes we need to make but this particular one really nothing changed except there was a federal holiday uh that created or wrecked is now being recognized in june called juneteenth and so for our 12-month employees we are looking to add that to our list of paid holidays so 44-34 is a list of paid holidays labor day through independence
035day in terms of getting how our school year would work and we would add in the next to last one in that school year uh time frame uh juneteenth so just asking for your consideration for that um and then the second policy that we have here and that is the only revision to that that policy 4434 is an internal complaint policy what we have recognized is with the complaint policy that we currently have um that that applies for the public at large um and really is any topic possible uh there is a process of of uh following up in regards to an issue a challenge and moving through the system and then even a formal way to get engaged in that and as we have an employee circumstance or situation it just didn't seem to
036apply and so we have uh created an addition to the original complaint policy we have to to have one that is called employee complaints and concerns and you see that in uh with the document that you have in front of you it talks about the procedures of moving from an informal resolution to an escalation to the human resources department and then eventually an appeal of the decision of the human resources department if that seems necessary or or is appropriate so um we do note in the policy that it does not replace employees duty to report suspected abuse neglect of a child other complaints of unlawful discrimination harassment sexual harassment those kinds of things or anything else that's covered by statute or by contract law but we believe this is a a way to uh acknowledge
037uh recognize those employee complaints uh in a formal way and then to walk through people through the process if something arises and our again our other policy just didn't seem to work well when we're talking about internal circumstances situations so this policy we believe will do that for us so we're asking for your consideration of that all right are there questions individuals have about what was presented i have one sure um it's on the second one first reading internal complaint has there been any thought given to um if if there's a there's no resolution outside mediations for a couple of for internal complaints like between employer or supervisor and their employee just i know some places do that yeah wondering if that would be a possibility especially if there's some you know especially if there's
038some i don't know if the person isn't comfortable going to their supervisor and following the chain of command because maybe that's the issue so sure yeah thought or suggestion or think about so you say yes i think dr biltz um certainly there are times when a situation may arise where the circumstances involve the individual and and the supervisor or the direct report and and that that chain of command and so we believe this policy uh recognizes that and allows that um moving up uh with that next person the next involved in the next conversation to then then move through that and believe that that next involvement of the human resources department if that's necessary because the informal resolution mediation conversation couldn't get us to where we would like to be that that hopefully would do
039it and then leaves us with that final appeal that uh is available and then you know after that situation if if the appeal of the decision is still not to the status not to the satisfaction of the employee then it does provide opportunities to i guess move to the next level as it would in our other complaint policy whether there are opportunities to take it outside the system okay i just didn't know if there would be a point where that would be an option i mean just because i think it's a good idea to mediate if there's hard feelings or if there's i don't know you know whatever the situation is um to have an objective person come in and try to resolve that conflict yes i know that's something to think about but yeah
040thanks and we'll look to see if this wording can add something like that and we have had some circumstances where we have engaged um others um outside of the organization to come in and have a dialogue to see if that can could help move some things happen every time that might be another option yeah thank you are there other questions on these two proposals thank you for that doctor you're welcome and again just a reminder first reading we would be bringing these back to you with perhaps some adjustments as we review some of the questions or comments you have don't hesitate to reach back out to me individually after this if you still have some thoughts and then we'll bring the final version to you at the next board meeting which is may 9th all
041right it's time for our first quarter financial report here he comes good evening this will be brief i only came up even because i did i felt bad sitting talking behind you all on that side of the room so um a pretty quick and brief overview of the first quarter no large variances or um things that stand out uh compared to what we would expect uh for the first quarter financially um the education fund revenues are up about 6.8 which is exactly what we would expect with the increase in adm and state tuition report operations fund we don't receive operations fund or operating referendum fund dollars from the county until the tax draw here in may and june so next quarter those will catch up on the expenditure side education fund expenditures um the only
042real notable variance here and it's going to probably stand out to some of you if you look closely enough salaries and benefits are down in 2022 compared to 2021 but we gave raises so how does that even make sense well there's two big reasons for it in 21 in the first quarter we paid both coved stipends for additional work performed for the prior semester to every support staff member and every teacher and we paid an extra day of uh teacher contract pay to every teacher who worked on january 4th as an extra day to prepare coming back from um transitioning from remote and those kinds of things so that's one factor those all those stipends were paid in 21 and then not paid in 22 obviously the other factor is there uh where three pays
043in january of 21 for us and not this year eventually as the year goes on we catch up with those three pay months but that was just a difference between the two years so other than that it's exactly what we would expect on the operations expenditure side pretty much exactly what we would expect for the year um on the operation operating referendum side again the same exactly as we would expect and consistent with where we were at this time last year just a little bit ahead fund balances this is the the place that probably stands out as looking a little bit um unusual there's some wide variances the reasons for this are um first education fund side it's about two million dollars that we spend from the education fund in a payroll so the difference
044between one year and the next is about two million dollars so we'll catch up with that again when we have our next three pay month the operations fund is down about 4.2 million compared to 2021. 3.7 of that is because we borrowed so much less in tax anticipation warrants this year our larger cash cash balances going into this year just led us to need to borrow less money to get us to the tax draw that we usually we we do every january we borrow tax anticipation warrants the debt service fund is the same way so the variance in the debt that service fund we borrowed about 2.5 million less this year to get us to the tax draw to make sure that we can make our semi-annual debt payments happy to answer any questions you
045might have about the first quarter's financials questions no anyway that was good news so thank you all right we are on to our items for approval dr roberts thank you dr shed i have a few items for your consideration starting with the minutes of the regular board meeting from april the 4th we did have two meetings in one evening april the 6th an executive session followed by a strategic planning session so asking for approval of those minutes you have supplemental contracts in your packet as well as field trips and professional leaves and approval of school fundraisers additionally the claims in payroll uh the claims from april 25th that uh accumulate to about 1.5 million dollars and then a pre-run for the month of march march 1st to march 31st that was a little over 2.4
046million dollars and then we have uh payroll that is from april the 8th that covers the work dates of march 26 through april the 8th it's a normal one but due to spring break there's only a one week pay for support staff so a little bit less that puts us at about 2.9 million dollars for that particular payroll and then we all also have the second there is social studies resource adoption at the last meeting you had a presentation so kind of a first reading of those resources we also have we're asking for your permission to award food service bids for milk dairy dry goods frozen products frozen products and bread products as well as an increase in school meal prices of a dime and then student handbooks you had a lot of reading to
047do in those student handbooks so we have i know some administrators here in case you need to ask any questions about that a quick aside in regards to the student handbooks i have created a page of just some little edits here and there that we might make but in terms of content or content all very much well we need to get approved and we can make any formatting changes or anything else to documents and whatnot after this and then the last one up there is to uphold the expulsion examiner's determination regarding a student discipline case and at your places there is a letter in regards to that from the family so just wanting to make sure you have that information and those are the items that we are asking for your approval all right thank
048you so do i have a motion for approval of 3a through i um as they've been presented to us thank you mr bryant is there a second second thank you miss day hoffman just had for clarification doctor said through jay i think we said i there oh i'm sorry i was reading yeah we edit that yeah gotcha it might just amend that motion in a second to make sure we include [Music] jay are you okay with a through j mr bryant yes thank you and second my amended motion thank you my bad i was reading these words all right any questions for these items quick comment it's uh it's it was nice to see a healthy list of uh field trips on there uh and you know yeah yeah yes life back to semi normal
