And we will call to order the June 1st, 2026 Brown County Schools School Board meeting. First, I want to start by thanking all of our administrators, staff, teachers, and anybody that works in the school system um for completing another wonderful year. Um thank you. Uh I also want to acknowledge our retirees and tell them thank you that we appreciate them and that they will be missed. Um those are Jane Phillips, Matt Owens, Rob Abraham, Matt Noriega, Bruce Kman, Terry Whitam, and Julie Adams. So, they're watching later, let them know the event. Um, first item is modifications of the agenda. Are there any? >> No. >> Okay. Can
002I entertain a motion to approve the agenda as presented? Move to approve the agenda as >> Is there a second? >> I'll second it. All the discussion. All those in favor of approving the agenda signify by saying I. >> I. Oppos. Same sign. Motion carry. Now we will recognize visitors and comments from the audience. If anybody would like to get up and speak now you are welcome to and we will give you three minutes to talk. Seeing none, we'll move over to the presentations. Superintendent. >> Yeah, I am so excited for these uh students to be here this evening. Um you know, when I started uh superintendent student advisory group, um really just wanted to be able to build out a platform for students to be able to share their their ideas and have a
003voice um in the way we do school and um and have an impact. And one of the biggest pieces of feedback from the kids last year was that we do a whole lot of talking and not sure we've acted upon any of the ideas that they they had brought last year. So, my two huge goals with this group this year was to be able to go visit some other schools that doesn't look like Brown County High School and um get some ideas um be able to talk to kids u from other schools and and have a little bit of validation of of what we do here is pretty amazing too, right? So, we accomplished that. Um and then the second piece was for our kids to be able to look at um either polic or
004procedures or programs that we either have or we don't have and they want to propose um or maybe make changes to and so they have worked really hard all year um and they have presented for in front of Mrs. Roberts and and Mr. foster um because we had a conversation about chain of command and we don't ever just jump to to get things across or or approved without going through that chain of command and and so they were able to present to them. Um so we have two groups tonight. We have um Addie Young and Maggie Spoot are going to talk about the Belltobell cell phone policy which is timely. The board will be approving our policy at the next board meeting. Um and and then I'll introduce the second group. second. So, I'm gonna
005turn it over to you guys. >> We're talking about policy for next year. I'm Alison Young. >> I'm All right. So, we um have done all our research and we know that the like law itself is not negotiable, but we want to like talk about where we want our books stored because that is and that is up to you guys actually. So, >> okay. So, the bill says that students don't have access to any devices during school life. This would include phones, smartwatches, or any wireless devices that aren't from the school. Um, basically they get to decide between two policies, which is the no device policy, which means no devices are brought to the proper district at all, or is their storage policy where they're in the school, but they need to be locked up.
006So these are like our four things because we me we and Addy did a lot of discussing on what we've heard or what are some possibilities of where the phones could be kept. Um so like the cars um a lot of uh schools are talking about like cubbies in the office. Um a lot of people have also been talking about leaving like phones have to be left at home or then like in lockers. So, we do not like the no bias policy on school because we researching from the National Parents Union about like parents concerns next year and a lot of them are like these numbers show like why they're concerned if they're left at home completely like people are scared about like emergencies or like communicating transportation after school or like for appointments. Um
007so some of our possible solutions that we came up with when we first presented this um we talked to Miss Palan and we were like okay so what are some other things and then me and Addy came up with other things we're like oh we didn't think through this so some possible solutions for like communications when we don't have our phone is um like you guys were like uh why don't you just email your parents but we don't have access to email outside sources so we were like why don't we just get parent square on our computer so we have access to our parents need. So, um like so the parents have access to us if need be. You don't have to go through the office or anything. It just makes it really easy for
008everyone. So, um our first two options for the like secure storage policy would be lockers and office. And the growth of lockers is that it's easy access right before the first and easy access right after the last bell. And then it relieves just appearance. It's out of sight, out of mind still. And it chaos in the office. And then cons would be it could be tempting during the day, but we think that if like it was enforced enough, kids would be too scared to get in them anyways. And then studies, there's notification um to be monitored all day and accessible if there's an emergency, but a commonly there's be a lot of chaos in the office before and after. >> So our other two options were like stuck in the car or like left at
009home, which um for if there is an emergency or anything. And then also not everybody has cars on like on site or anything like that. Um and then uh we also were talking about like people stealing items that are left in your car. And then the concept at home is like you have no contact with guardian whatsoever whether you need your phone after school or anything. Um and then like if you don't have a car do you have to leave your phone at home? So, our top pick overall is lockers. Um, they would keep the phone non accessible, stored away, out of sight, but it also keep the chaos from returning or treating phones. Any questions? I know you guys said phones. Would that be all devices? That would be >> that was how far
010Apple watches. >> Yeah, you cannot have any wireless devices. So, no like watches or anything, but you can still like text or get notifications. >> The biggest problem in my classroom um wasn't really phones. because I was in the middle school at that time and we didn't have access but it was still got airpods um because kids were always listening to something and I didn't really know what the source of it was you know maybe it was their Chromebook or maybe it was in their pocket or whatever it was um have you thought about how to handle that because I also there's the idea and I think that the legislature talked about this is you know kids are smart and they're figuring out if I keep playing it in in the locker then I can
011still listen to it in that >> normally they like they turn off too far away >> after you get to a certain point they do like turn off but I think it goes under that you can't have any wireless devices so if you're I think if the students are listening to music they have to have like >> I don't think the earpods I don't think we're allowed to connect >> and they can't connect to Okay. >> So, would those be included as listed on policy? >> I believe there everybody was very dependent. >> I have a question. I don't know if it's necessarily tied to what you guys just presented, but like communications from many like messaging between in Google. Is that a thing? Yes. >> Is that turned off when the students are in
012the building? Like how is is that possible? Like so you can have your laptop and you know be messaging back and forth. Is there anything shut down from doing that? >> There is. Okay. >> We can also monitor and restrict them based on what they are typing in. We can also see which keywords are said. So, especially if like two couples are talking, we can know what is said and when. >> Okay. I just wondered if that would have the unusual situation. I wear hearing my volume control and settings are on my phone. So there are like special like >> like if you have like ID for your problem they can get clear >> like you're talking about if you like or something and you can monitor stuff on there you can add it to
013lab >> it's in a health plan or special education individualized education plan and um there are exceptions >> good because I can see in some classrooms I don't need other class I have to adjust those It's exempted in the statute. >> So, you're telling me if you put them in your lockers, >> you're not going to be getting them out? >> No, because I know for a fact that Miss Roberts will take any >> Yeah, she's And she's always in the hallway. No, but like I think me and Addy also talked about this like if a student gets caught with their phone or anything, then they have to for a certain amount of time over the rest of school year, they have to keep their phone in the office because I know that the office
014So, or if they got more if they had like students that were not trusted or did not follow the policy, then their phone away. It has to go into the cy. >> And how long do you keep them? >> We never keep a phone overnight unless a parent has asked us to. And sometimes we have parents that when we call, they say, "You keep it till I tell them they can have it back." That's just fine. Um, but our intention is never to keep a student's phone overnight at all. We always communicate that. Even if a student forgets to pick it up at the end of the day, we always call parents say, "Hey, we're here until it's time. Can you come and pick it up?" We certainly don't want that responsibility. But yeah, >>
015did you do any of the research on the locked couches that I hear a lot about? >> Um, we actually did not. We heard a lot about them. >> Um, but we kind research about them >> because I think the concern there was just they're very expensive. How much? >> Yeah, the yonder pouches I think a lot of districts some some um piloted >> them. They are really expensive and I think the time that it takes to lock them and unlock them at the beginning of your day and end of the day is an exorbitant amount of time. And I think you'd almost have to build your daily schedule around landing either in the same place as you do at the end of the day or something to be able to unlock every pouch. But
016the idea is then the kids keep them on them, but they're in this pouch. That's what a lot of schools So, but there's just a lot that goes into that that I think the expense alone is a lot if we can just teach our kids a piece of responsibility that this that they can live in their lockers and be okay. It isn't an expense. >> Are your office cubbies locked? >> Oh, okay. >> Yeah, it's like a clear >> box, if you will, that has holes. Each one has a separate key. >> Gotcha. Okay. I was imagining >> label them. >> Yeah. >> Thank you. Hey, >> this is our Neil presentation. >> I'm stupid. >> Sorry for the problems with it. Um, they have lower nutritional quality and like especially breakfast like in general
017not really healthy like we have muffins. And then um it encourages poor eating habits. So students are like learning to eat what's more convenient or unhealthy. Um it causes ongoing hunger. So shortly after meal students are hungry and throughout the rest of the day. Um this can result in lower performance. So kids are less focused and less productive in class. Um also lower energy which ties on to that. experience in fatigue frequently and a lot of students like skip meals because of the lack of options or the like taste and the taste. A lot of kids are getting old. This is some of the stuff we all get for breakfast. It's a lot of preackaged not very good for you. Doesn't give you a lot of energy. Nothing like that really. Like there's cereals, the
018muffins. I really don't eat the breakfast at all because of the options. So, I really don't know a whole lot of them. But, and then this is some of the lunch things. We offer nachos. We have um the chicken pizza. Um not a really lot of things. And there's also the creates which they switch sometimes, but it's the same like wings, Asian cuisine, low quality I would say and it's only limited to one. >> Can I add anything about the chicken sandwich? >> Oh yeah. I a lot of times the chicken sandwiches the inside of them are literally cold but they're still frozen. >> And is this just the high school? >> Um I don't know actually. I think the middle school and elementary are similar but we didn't like really put what they had
019because we couldn't go there. >> Okay. So we want to talk about the importance of why important obviously the students well being we want to like make sure students are advancing like academically but they're also being taken care of physically and mentally and nutritionally. Um, a lot of students rely on school as their primary source to do. They have food in their house and stuff where athletes as I mentioned earlier or I don't know. Okay. Athletes uh if they're physically active, it's really vital for them to have a lot of fuel and nutrition throughout the day. Um, the health impact poor poor food choices can contribute to like negative impacts on self-regulation, behavior, and other health problems. And also breakfast matters. Like a lot of people label it as the most important meal of the
020day. So it should be healthy and protein rich, but ours are very small and not. Um and the result could be less sick days, better attendance, and better performance in class. I know this might take me forever to click off. >> Okay. And then solutions obviously we would reduce unhealthy options. So get rid of the highly processed foods. Um but sometimes we can include fun options like before break have donuts for breakfast. And um increase healthy variety. So add more options that have more protein like peanut butter, plant-based choices, meat options that are like higher quality. Um also fuller meals so we can provide larger and more balanced portions of meals. Um and prepare on site. So instead of having prepackaged We use more natural ingredients and prepare them in the cafeteria. And we need
021to increase funding so you have to budget more for school meals for this to happen. And one idea we had was like a breakfast bar which would work for lunch too. Kids could like go through and take each item of like the food plate and add it to their tray as they're walking through. Okay, these are some examples of breakfast ideas. Um just like more organic or like more often organic fruits like avocados, blueberries. Um organic and cooked vegetables. Um freshly made eggs but like in multiple different types of forms peanut butter bars. Meat options with bacon, sausage, quality options like bagels, croissants, biscuits and like healthy dairy options. So yogurt with natural flavoring smoothies. >> Some lunch. Um mean better quality and bigger portions as well. More like side bars. I know when Miss
022took us to some of the different schools, they had sushi bars. That sounds awesome. More like pasta, chili, shrimp, different kind of wraps. And this is a email I received. It is from the Department of Education. requires public schools to have student representation for many decisions and she um primary schools got excited for this because we are currently not meeting this. Okay. And then we just want to talk about why we chose this. Um I just think it's really important for students to do the day for better performance. And I know a lot of kids who don't have a lot of food at their house so they can like solely on school food. And me personally, I do sports and academics. Like I go throughout the school day and I get dizzy a lot cuz
023I have low iron and I don't eat a lot of the school meals. So for me, I really don't eat the school meals a lot and especially going into C4 next year. I know a lot of the kids would rather go spend 20 bucks every single day than eat the school. feel like that's >> I think it's it's also important really really proud of all of them. Um but proud of this project like they came up with this like on their own, right? And I think about we contract with a food service company that provides those menus and those things and um you know we we pay to be able to have that contract and and I think it is an opportunity for us to come to a table um with kids to be able
024to to think about how and what we're serving um whether it's high school, middle school, across the whole district, whatever. Um I I think about I now have heard it three times that you've got to go to school that offers a sushi bar or whatever. And maybe it's not a sushi bar, but our our kids are worth it, too. And it just always brings me back, you know, to when when we had that slogan in everywhere. Our kind of kids are are worth it. Like doesn't matter what zip code you're in um or where you go, it is going to be a funding, right? It's going to cost increase funding in some way to be able to to do what what they're proposing that we do, but they're worth it. us to come to a
025table and try to figure it out. >> So, and that's what I'm super proud about. You're right. Absolutely does matter. in your process to do this. >> Well, I'm a little disappointed because I remember having this discussion five years ago and what you're describing is what they pitched to us, right? And then I remember I do remember the breakfast when I taught at the junior high, but it. I just worry that like it did feel like it started out here and then you know the slides. I know that you know there nutritional requirements they have to meet and then they've got to meet them within a budget and that's a really tough thing to do. So I understand the pros and cons of that. Could you talk to other students like you mentioned you know
026avocados or other things? I can hear the push back on that is well we give avocados but then we throw them away every day because nobody wants to eat them. So that may be what you guys like, but would that kind of thing be popular with your classmates? >> I think it would because I've talked to a lot of people about like what kind of breakfast it would be and they were like these are good ideas because they're not something you would normally see in our school especially like and it was something new. >> That would be a part of the next um process, next step, right? Is to gather real data so we can see it in front of us and make informed decisions about what kinds of things that we would be able
027to order and prepare require a team to do that >> and like that student a student representation that's required that would help a lot >> and that's one small and ironically right we got the email I got the email and I remembered that they're doing this this project right and um so it was just timely and very opportunistic for us. >> You know, samples would be great, too. >> Dad wants us to feed dinner, do dinner every time we board meeting. >> Well, I remember my kids were in earlier elementary and they were like, "Oh, what'd you get for lunch?" "Oh, I had a fun lunch." What was in it? Um a muffin, >> fish crackers, and and milk it. >> Yeah. Every day for elementary, I got Well, not every I got lunch. >>
028Wonderful job. Now we'll move to discussion item of cell phone policy. >> Yeah, I I just wanted to be able to put this formally on the agenda um for people in the audience or administrators that are here. um to be able to answer any questions. If you guys have any questions, again, we'll put it in the the policy that we go with in the handbook, which is um slated for the June 15th board meeting. Um so, I just I just wanted an opportunity for it to be there if you guys had further questions about it. Is what they're proposing similar to the policy? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Really, really close. Um, middle school, I I don't think they're going to have as hard of a >> Do you want to talk? >>
029No, go. >> Yeah. I don't think they're going to have as hard of a, um, transition because they've really been practicing this policy this year. Um, so they've had an entire year to kind of work out some of those kinks. Um, elementary, um, they'll keep their current policy, which is if a student brings a device, they lock it up in the office. Um, So, we'll continue with that and that adheres to the policy um in place. So, it's really going to come down to accountability and um just enforcing it. >> So, how many I'm just curious, but how many kids are willing to give to school from elementary? >> Yeah, it's not uncommon for little kids even to to bring a cell phone. So, but the good news is they know the drill. they've been
030doing it. Um, again, it's not like it's going to be a new practice um for them. So, >> what kind of challenges did you have at the middle school? >> What's that? >> What kind of challenges did you have in middle school this year as you kind of did the >> It's not a huge we we cut out passing periods which was really beneficial for us. Um, so students were able to have it just at lunch, which was fine. And now we'll just take that next step and they will take that next step and remove it from the cafeteria. >> Is there still what's the backpack policy right now? No backpacks in the classrooms. >> Yeah, because I was going to say it's really hard to tell whether or not somebody has a device in
031their baguh Right. So, okay. >> So, definitely you should be able to see it unless it's in pocket. Yes. >> Are they going to be able to have them on the school buses? >> Yes. >> Yeah. It's just >> bell. >> And we could say, is that a good thing or a bad thing? In your first draft, right? So, June 15th, we will take the first draft of the next policy. The cell phone policy is in there. Um, and it it speaks to I specifically chose to allow them on school buses. >> Now, the board can resend that, right, and and make it where they're not allowed on school buses, but I think you would be fighting a a battle that's not I'm looking at a resident bus driver. What are you pondering over there?
032>> I just curious. I just I didn't know if it was going to be the responsibility of the driver saying, "Hey, you know, that kind of thing going on." And >> where's your locked box? >> Yeah. Also at the elementary level, like when we have pickup, of course, it's after the bell, but there are a lot of times we all gather at the gym for pickup and once or twice we've seen kids pull them out of their backpacks and it's a quick like put it away or we hold it until you walk out the door and then it's right back as they're walking out. So, I mean, even for them, it's not >> um Have you gotten any push back parents. I mean, because what they're mentioning is very real is that it's parents who
033even more strongly than kids often want to have um don't want to be separated from their kid um through a through and have access to them and are used to having access to them through a phone. >> Have you got any comments? >> There's always going to be a little frightening here and there. I think at the end of the day, it's it's the wall >> and there there's not a lot we can do. I I think we can put some things in practice like a parent square so kids could email their parent through parent square if they wanted to or needed to. Um but I'm sure we will have more come when we start to enforce it. >> I think too just looking at that communication avenue of potentially being able to allow I
034think as we've looked at what other districts have adopted somehow there's a way to import um parent emails to be able to be allowed. So you have one parent email that you could communicate via email with your kiddo through the day because right now they can't unless you have a Brown High School's email. >> So um email outside the system. >> Yes. So there could be a way to import that to allow some access. Um but I put it as part of like my student exit survey for this year. The last thing was are you aware of the new cell phone policy that the state has approved? Um, more details to come, but here are, you know, just so they knew before they walked away and all of them acknowledged that they knew it existed,
035but they were very grumbly about it. Um, so at least our kids know that it's coming. We've had those conversations, but um, I think they were very hopeful that they would be able to have them at lunch and that was something they were hanging on to. Um, but the the bill is very clear that it is not allowed at lunch. So >> I get that. But do they put any exception in for special cases? >> They do 504s, IEPs, medical like all of that. Yeah, we we can document and then allow um as needed. What about those that are allowed to leave the month? So that's we've I think that we will land on that's something our team's still discussing that once you have signed out because even if you're going to an internship if
036you're going to C4 if you are leaving our campus you sign out okay >> with the office so I think the moment you sign out you you get your phone so to travel to to Blooming or to Columbus to see now I think our communication with um Bartholomew Bartholomew County what is their cell phone policy going to be our kids will have to have a space to lock their phones up when they arrive on their campus. So that will be new because they don't have lockers there. Um so I I think that that will be something we'll have to bridge that gap. But I do think the moment they leave our campus and get on that bus to go, they'll have their phones with them. Same if they're going to an internship, what about lunch?
037>> If they're leaving campus, they sign out for lunch. Um that's juniors and seniors. if they've earned that privilege. Um, and then they would have to be locked back up the moment they sign sign back in. >> So, you girls did an amazing job. Um, would love for you to stay and experience the rest of the board meeting, but if you have other things you need to do, you may go if you want to. Just so you know. Uh next we move on to our consent agenda item starting with separations of HES act school care provider Miss Cox effective June 1st 2026 through the approval of retirement notice from Matt Owings effective at the conclusion of the 256 school year. Is there a motion to approve the consent agenda as listed? >> I move to
038approve the consent agenda. >> Second >> discussion. Do we have anyone here today? Welcome. >> Welcome to our newbies. >> Introduce yourselves. >> I'm Abby Magner. I kindergarten now. >> Well, welcome. >> Hi there. I'm Judy Whiteman. my new county school and I've been a for a couple years to step in this new role and work. >> Welcome. >> I'm Zach Sprout.

I'm a new occupational therapist. I've been an occupational therapist for two years.
039This is my first time in school. So I'm very excited. All those in favor of approving the consent agenda signify by saying I opposing signed motion carried action needed items. There is a recommendation for approval of the administrator contract adjustment for foster rolling 2year uh 220day administrator contract with an annual salary of 85. Is there a motion to approve the recommendation? >> I move to approve approve the recommendation. >> Second discussion. >> I just so proud of Mr. Foster and all of the work that he's poured into Brown County schools. Um since he's been here in January and um he got his his license and um it's official and we're just so happy that you're here with us. Happy to be here. >> Nailed all those names. >> That took some practice. >> No, thank
040you. >> All those in favor of approving the recommendation signify by saying I >> same sign. >> Extensions motion carried. Superintendent update. >> Yeah, I have a few things. I think first and and foremost, right, we held um 65th graduation from Brown County High School this past Saturday. the Brown County Music Center. Um it is always um such a incredibly classy, professional, exciting event. Um especially in that venue. So to be able to get to do that um for our kids and their families, I think is just amazing. Um and Mrs. Roberts, Mr. Foster, Mrs. Harmon, everybody involved did such a great job from maintenance and the people that helped set it all up to the band and the and technology and um gosh the high school team guidance team for running everybody where they
041need to go and and being there with the kids. So um it's just always a really really great day. So wanted to say congratulations to everybody involved in that. Um and then to close out the 2526 school year um today we were able to do our end of the year celebration to be able to honor our teachers of the year and our support staff members of the year and retirees, um our our staff members with service of 10 years, 20 years, and 30 years. Um it's always a really really great day to to wrap up a school year. So, we were able to do that with everybody there today. Um I personally want to welcome Abby and Jody, Zach, Michaela to the team. Um gosh, you're going to love it. We have really really great
042people here and um it won't take you long to to learn that and experience it with everybody. So really really glad that you're here. I want to thank our kids for coming. I know the other two had to leave, but for the courage um that you have to not only be able to get up in front of a group of people in a formal setting um but to also think outside the box and always thinking about how we can be of our kids. Um, you have no idea what it means to me personally, so I'm super proud of you. Thank you >> for leading. Um, and then, um, just a few quick notes before I talk about what's up on the screen. Um, we are officially in summer mode for central office. So, our hours
043change a little bit. Friday, central office is closed to the public. Um, we will still have people there working on Fridays. Um, but which is closed to the public um through July 17th. Um and then the entire district is closed for moratorum week which is July 29th through June 29th through July 3rd. Um so that is the update for summer. Um I do have one thing else that I want to share this evening. Um, as you know, Chris Townsen, um, and Dean Keoffer and Sarah Roberts have been working really, really hard with Eagle Manufacturing and, um, just wanting to be able to have some concrete things that we're looking towards each month. So, what are the projects that have been invoiced or um, quoted and accepted that we're going to do for each month? And
044put timelines to it and think about um, financials that come right with it. So we accept a project, we we also want to know upfront like how much is it going to cost in supplies and materials, right? Because Eagle Eagle doesn't manufacture the shirt, they print the design on the shirt, right? So there's always that cost and then thinking about any kind of profit um that that goes along with it. So this is our our first kind of stab at at trying to be transparent with Eagle and and growing it and all of the things. So, Chris has put together um all of the orders that have been accepted and he is working on for the month of June. Um and so plan to be able to talk about this publicly, right? And then we
045come back together in July and get to see a timeline of which projects have been completed um and and look at that financial piece from month to month to month. Um, summer looks a little bit different and I think throughout the year there's obviously uh busier times of the year or busier months than others. Um, and I also think that would be interesting for us and the board to be able to see where we're at with all of that. Um, and it just helps with us with decision making and um, and all of the things. So, I just wanted to be able to share something um, up front. So what are we looking at? >> The orders accepted for June. >> Okay. And then next month I mean we'll look at Eagle every month. >>
046Okay. Yeah. Gota as a part of our financial update. >> Director of safety and operations update. >> Yeah. So today we have officially closed down weight room, high school auxiliary gym, main gym at the high school. Uh everything is shifting to the middle school in the ESC for all things happening this summer in a gym. Uh Van Beern Elementary, we got a great start Saturday morning. Maybe a little bit more than what we even anticipated. So some teachers came back today with maybe missing more stuff out of their classroom than they anticipated. Um the moving crew got pretty ambitious over the weekend. Uh but we got a great start. That building will officially close down tomorrow morning. It is not scheduled to open back up until the Friday before students come back. Um so it
047is a tight tight deadline. We're just putting that date out there being very transparent with it. So throw the darts now. her eyes. >> I made sure she was well aware what she was walking into. >> All the teachers who are going to complain they can't get in their room. >> Yes. >> At least they're >> Yes. Right. That is hopefully our worst case scenario. Uh we have a lot of construction work going on, right? The EEC Deb, we're a couple weeks away from probably turning that back over, putting final touches, and that space is really starting to come together. I would recommend the board kind of taking another tour through there at some point as we close out that project. Um, 100 hall bathrooms, if you've not been down there, I know we saw
048them at the beginning. It's definitely worth another trip down there to take a look at those. And football field project, the rain has settled for, you know, we got a couple days of no rain, so we are hauling dirt like crazy. Uh if we can get probably four more days of 13 trucks turning 200 loads a day, we'll be in really good shape getting our final dirt that we need. U had a great meeting just to be transparent with uh highway department, county commissioner. Um we've had visits from INDOT, from everybody else uh with the amount of dirt that we are trucking. Uh we put together a plan uh to kind of repair the road. Uh Tarquette Sports has been a great team player in this. They understand the the amount of damage that they
049have done to our county road. They are not obligated to repair it. Uh but they understand, right? They want to leave it better than where what they found it. So appreciate their support and help progressing through all of this. So when you say the county road, are you just talking about Snider Hill and then 046? >> No, Dhy Road is the gravel road that's taking the beating. >> Say that again. >> Dhy Road, right next to the Gypsy Moon Flea Market. That's where all the dirt's coming to. >> Thank you. >> I was going to ask where is it coming from? >> Just outside of town. >> Okay. Just out of the ground. >> Out of a property in the very back of the road. >> Wow. Okay. >> We need about five more days.
050Oh, one more thing. Uh, middle school is hosting Van Beern summer school program. So, um, all the elementaryaries are hosting their own summer school program in their buildings. This year, the middle school will be hosting Van Beern, which starts on Wednesday. We set up a classroom and then a space right next to them. Uh for the office staff as well to work out of so they can be right next to their students. Uh just know that that is happening out of the middle school this year as well. >> And the fireworks are on July 2nd in Eagle Park. >> Eagle Park. >> Everybody is going to ask you when are the fireworks and where are they? >> We even have little business cards made up to say here's when it's happening. So when they ask
051you to have a meeting, but thank you for letting us go. The Lions Club thanks you. The Lions Club thanks you for uh you know letting him use Eagle Park for that. And I think it'll be a real interesting experience doing it in a new place and see how it goes. >> Not under a motion to meeting. All in favor signif.
