005choice of two different one of two different machines and the administrators have made their selection which fits their needs best we've gone ahead and looked at you know a Dell Latitude which is with a detachable keyboard which is something I have literally the keyboard tears off if you will and has a stylus or just a flip around hinge where your laptop turns into a a tablet and it's all in one piece just depending on how you move around in the school and work in your classroom or go do observations the admin feels confident on on the machines that they've selected for their particular replacement we've gone ahead and received quotes and you've received the the that as an attachment for your review the teacher machines um just as a note of information have been around
006since 2019 and we're hoping according to Brian speaking with him earlier we'd like to get those keep those in play until around 2024 if we cancel we'll be looking at the teacher replacement down the road but currently we're looking at the administrative laptop replacement [Music] um yeah get that back up here for a total expenditure of 86 377.18 so recommendation this evening is for the board to approve the purchase of the new administrative computers thank you Mr recommendation to improve the purchase of these new Administration staff machines we have a motion to approve D second I moved by Mr babjak and second by Mr Angel questions or comments from Mr akiwa total number then is 46 of those that is correct any other questions all those in favor signify by saying aye aye opposed motion
007carries five zero thank you Mr akiwa 4.3 five-year agreement with PowerSchool group for student information system Mr Reese thank you Mr President members of the board uh in June of last year we were notified that our student information system uh providers RDS would be going out of business effective May of 2024. at that point we immediately jumped on the opportunity to issue an RFP a small community came together to review those responses a larger group came together to go sit through a demonstration and also a q a with PowerSchool and talking with other other districts as references we found PowerSchool to have the best product or best meet our needs for a new student information system we believe the enhancements for registration specifically for our parents but also for us and making sure working with
008some some really good data on a regular basis PowerSchool provides the best option for us at this point uh so with that they've also part of their proposals waived the first year fees and simply have a reduced cost for the training and ramp up the idea we would go live with them uh when we normally do our rollover in July of 2023 and instead of doing the rollover we'll go live with PowerSchool as our student information system as we start the next school year I think everybody who reviewed it we're very excited about the Opera opportunities that this new student information system provides us and we're excited to move on from there so with that we're recommending the approval of the five-year agreement with PowerSchool group I think you've heard the recommendation to prove this
009five-year agreement with PowerSchool group a motion to approve I moved by Mr Smith segment by Mr babjac ENT questions comments from Mr Reese the only question I have is what school districts are currently using they currently have over 200 districts in the state of Indiana it's a national Nationwide firm but they do 200 districts and it's just our state which is about two-thirds and how long have we used RDS I think since I've been on the board we've been with RDS for student information I think we looked at it was around 40 years 40 yes we're excited about the change yeah all right yeah okay I'm sure some parents right now that have registered on RDS are clapping at home so yes I I agree and thank you are all involved for you had this
010sound like a deadline of May of 24 you said but to jump and move quickly on it makes everybody happier that much sooner right so thank you um any other questions all those in favor signify by saying aye aye opposed motion carries five zero and 4.4 is the one year extension of Health Access Health ex healthy access Clinic agreement Mr Reese thank you Mr President members of the board your current agreement for a clinic through our health insurance ends December of 2022 you started that in December of 2020 so it's a two-year agreement we're simply asking for an extension for a third year of that same agreement Franciscan has agreed not to increase the cost uh it's a percentage-based cost on my amount of participation we have seen some quite a bit of increased participation
011this year we're up almost 50 percent through September compared to what we had to use the clinics for January through December so we had about 600 visits last calendar year and through September we're up uh over 900. so we've had nice increase in the usage of the clinic which is good the idea of using the clinic again is to reduce our costs from doctor visits and prescriptions not to replace your your primary care physician but simply give you a quick Urgent Care also prescription relief uh to reduce your cost and also the distance cost for health insurance so with that we're recommending an extension of the one year for the healthy healthy Access program agreement with Franciscan hey Miss Reese you've heard that recommendation to prove the amendment to the healthy Access program agreement with
012Frisk Frisk Franciscan working well by Mr Angel and uh second by Mr babjek questions or comments from Mr Reese can you um repeat the terms you said 600 through an entire year and then currently I did when you're saying that I was listening I just didn't hear the time yeah so the monthly visits in 2021 totaled 665. now this takes out our time for the entire year for the entire year so 12 months 665 visits uh so far through 2022 through September so only nine months worth we're at 928 and that doesn't count uh the wellness visits we had February and March were over 300 of our employees were able to attend get go get their Wellness visits so more and more usage this year which is a big positive access to secure that at
013no additional cost is huge with if nobody's noticed we have a little bit of inflation problem going on so to not consider that is a great thing you know we would like to get those numbers even higher and pay them more money with the idea being that that reduced our actual claim cost on our health insurance so more people attending the clinic for those regular routine Services is really what we're aiming for any other questions or comments not all those in favor saying five by saying aye aye um opposed motion carries 5-0 uh now before we move to we're going to move to 4.5 um so everybody's aware uh Mr Hoffman you know that with the Indiana code you will not be able to be allowed to participate on a budget vote remotely so um
014just as we move forward you guys know where Tom would have to be excluded from this uh 4.5 is to approve the 2023 budget forms and resolutions Mr Reese thank you Mr President members of the board we have three resolutions for you tonight form four resolution establishes your Appropriations for calendar year 2023 for what I'm going to call the governmental funds or education operations referendum operating Debt Service and rainy day with that you also have resolution 18 which is to establish the 2023 capital projects plan and also the resolution 819 which is the bus replacement plan for 2023 as well the public hearing for all three of these resolutions and the budgets was held on your regular board meeting in September 26th in which we had no comment at that point regarding the budgets there
015have been no change from that public hearing to the adopted budgets that they're being presented tonight it's my recommendation you approve resolutions 817 8 18 and 819 establishing your Appropriations levies and tax rates for 2023 along with the 2023 capital projects plan and the 2023 bus replacement plan foreign for the recommendation to prove to 23 budgets the 23 capital projects plan 23 bus replacement plan and the corresponding forms and resolutions as they're presented we have a motion to approve d moved by Mr angel uh second by Mr Smith who have questions or comments from Mr Reese on the uh opposed budgets if not all those in favor signify by saying aye aye opposed that motion carries or zero uh moving on to information items we can start with superintendent discussion groups anyone that want to
016volunteer any information either Cedar Lake Winfield Crown Point uh Mr Smith anything to see you later the only thing I saw that from Cedar Lake that came out as they're attending on dredging the lake I think right after July 4th of next year which which would be a great thing for the community I believe that's starting so that's kind of going to be an interesting time out there in Cedar Lake and um other than that nothing that would impact our schools in any way not not that you guys would know off top here but how often might that happen anybody know oh well I think it's been a long while over 20 years I know they're excited about it I feel like remember hearing something about that back in the 90s I would say yeah
017okay um so Mr Hoffman anything you'd like to share from everything Ford as far Decisions by either Winfield or Crown Point due to my impending retirement from the board we will have to coordinate replacements for both the Crown Point and the Winfield everybody if you couldn't hear that Mr Hoffman offered that with his retirement from the board we'll be looking to replace the uh Redevelopment commissions for Winfield and the City of Crown Point okay thank you Mr Robinson um let's move to Dave do we know if that wow do we know if that will be will we be able to appoint that person or will that be appointed by the city has Tom correct me if I'm wrong that position was appointed by the city correct previously the Town Council in Winfield I need the
018appointment he made the appointment in Crown Point Tom is it correct that we you the board makes a recommendation to them and then they make the appointment okay there was a legislative effort probably two three years ago to try to change that so school boards could appoint their own and also to make it so they could vote yeah yeah but I don't think that went through yeah I would think with the relationship we have with both of them that they would hopefully honor a recommendation we make a recommendation they'll support that as well so yeah we can work through that in time before you retire that may be invite and that's probably a conversation for a later time but Tom before you leave one of the things we'll ask you to do is to help
019us with that transition and working through that process ations with anybody at Winfield good okay thank you thank you director of Elementary education Mr Excuse me director of Elementary education Mr mirrors thank you Mr President board members I'd just like to take this opportunity to thank our teachers we have a very busy week this week with parent-teacher conferences coming up and this is really an invaluable time for us to partner with our families and so we thank our families as well for making the time to either come in or to zoom or phone call so that we can share strengths of the students as well as then opportunities for growth we really are appreciative of what success we've had with parent conferences in the past and our teachers time as well as our family so
020we're very appreciative of that as well as then another exciting thing happening in the elementary world is Red Ribbon Week and really again supporting and highlighting the importance of being drug free as well as bully free and our schools do a really great job of emphasizing the importance of both of those for our students to be healthy and um safe at school any questions if there's any chance could we get like a general idea percentage of attendees from parental involvement on those yes I have um requested and so once the parent conferences occur which will happen this week as well as next week they will share that information with me so I can have it for you at the next um either meeting or share it with you via email thank you very much of
021course so the light bulb just went off there there's a something I've been meaning to ask it's come to us through an email a few times speaking of percentages uh are the elementaries right now posting a absentee percentage on a weekly basis is there something that's out there available to the public or that shared with you guys or some maybe might be doing it might not be I have seen one school that has been acknowledging a class that has the best attendance and I've seen that posted on social media I have not seen specific rates it's just generally a picture of the class that I think that they get kind of that recognition I don't know if that's maybe what you're referring no I'll actually I'll actually say here shame on me I think it
022came as soon as you said that it triggered a thought um I think the question came either to me or the entire board in the beginning of the school year it was a question or a request why we may or may not issue attendance rates um I think it came from the concern of in Rising sickness and potentially wanting to keep a child out of school if they were concerned so I don't know how available those rates may be or if it's something this for now this isn't you know what I've shared is probably enough for you to go back and you know consider what they may be looking for but I'm sorry I should have asked that a couple months ago yeah if there's a specific that they're looking for I have not seen
023any type of numeric attendance rate being publicized simply a best attendance okay in the school then that class being highlighted the one issue that we do have is if our attendance rate drops above 20 percent being absent then we have to contact the health board and work through them if there's some kind of illness that is going on but other than that there really isn't any other requirement anything that you know we haven't talked through that you guys would like to see I don't know if maybe I've if maybe I've seen it as a parent in the past somewhere that you know the tennis rates currently 96 and yeah so Mr key was not in his head I no and I don't know whether it's 98 or 96 I don't know how valuable that may
024be or how readily that is to share but just uh something worth it no thank you for that feedback do you have something Marty I'm just going to say that it used to be a metric for like Awards and recognition in the state and it's just about it it's just not a metric anyway it was more shared for the acknowledgment of good attendance for correct being involved okay um well if anyone's listening that sent that email I apologize I should ask that a couple months ago moving forward the director of secondary education Mr Gene for me thank you Mr President uh just one item to share on September 28th and 29th I had the opportunity to attend the I case fall conference which is the Indiana Council of Administrators of special education not a conference
025I generally attend but I did attend with some colleagues uh our director of exceptional Ed Heather pasquez our assistant director Kelly oost of exceptional Ed and then our principal at Colonel wheeler and we actually were presenters there as well we presented on uh the progress that Colonel wheeler middle school has made in including their applied skills students into the general classroom and I just the hard work that's happening at that Middle School from the the staff teachers the kids and parents everyone involved it's really taking some really big steps forward and I was just kind of proud to be part of that team it was also great to see our directors of exceptional Ed how well respected they are not only in our community but out amongst other corporations and uh the presentation went really
026well we had really great positive feedback and like any time you go to a conference like that you start to get a lot of other ideas from other corporations as people stand and stay after and talk to you and so it's just a great um experience and we're in our first steps working over there at Colonel wheeler on this but it's really coming along so it was a good process and I really thanked them for all their hard work as well I mentioned with that the individuals who did our audit our exceptional Ed audit were there oh yeah and we're amazed I think is an accurate word of how far we've come in the last couple of years with exceptional Ed so thank you Heather and Kelly and everyone for their work in that area
027thank you director of exceptional education Ms pascus good evening Mr warning members of the board Mr G and Fermi left out were doing the same presentation for the Indiana high school principals Association conference next month so excited to present it in front of a general education off audience I wanted to recognize some Community Partnerships that we have built in our growing our students in high school in our 18 to 22 year old students who don't earn a diploma but are getting a certificate of completion we are charged with um helping them build vocational skills because that's really our goal for gainful employment when they leave us and the YMCA last year really Marissa dubstadt is our transition coordinator and has worked with them on building quite a partnership where kids even worked there over the
028summer and then Centier Bank is actually having a representative co-teach with her at the high school personal finance for some of our students which is a great new program and then we have two new businesses jelsosomos and Station 21 who have been willing to take on working with some of our students and helping them get those job skills so thank you thank you Miss pascus uh chief chief I've done that a few times human resource officer Mr Akio thank you Mr President and board members of two items to highlight uh today one is very exciting a long time coming we've received our first one of two activity buses activity buses meeting uh decorated bus with a logo on it it's white and red rights and it's um it just came in this week today I
029think it came in a little late later last week yeah yeah but Dr Terrell had a chance to go out there and check it out and take some pictures but um long time coming for this um with supply chain issues and that getting outfitted and decorated and and you know all the different things added on to it from the actual manufacturer we're just so excited to have this thing here and we've actually gave possession of it so number two is coming very soon as well so we'll have two activity buses so hopefully you'll see uh in some of our activities and our trips say a sporty new Sharp Crown Point Community School Corporation bus taking our students to different events so I just want to congratulate everybody there especially uh you know Monica over in
030transportation and all that have supported the effort to get these uh you know onboard and operating so be on the lookout for those the second one is more to my right here uh Brooke Allen I want to go ahead and congratulate her on um getting parent Square which is a mass communication module up and running and she's worked very hard at this um and it's it's not been easy lift transitioning from what we use School messenger now into this new upgraded messaging platform we actually had our first test message right before fall break and maybe she'll talk about that here in a little bit so I I knew I was going to steal your thunder a little bit but I just wanted to shine a little Spotlight on her so if you haven't noticed the
031improvements in our our comms our communication across the corporation that's what branding you know how we push information out um just want to thank Brooke for all that she's done to really step up our game in this area thank you Mr Cuba it's the business office Mr Reese I have nothing this evening thank you thank you and moving quickly to director of community director of communications Miss Allen thank you Mr Q I did steal my thunder a little bit but I need to thank Chris Phillips from our I.T Department who helped iron out the last pickup in this parent Square transition and that is making sure our teachers can now use the platform as well So eventually we'll be able to replace dojo and remind and all of those many apps that I think teachers
032are having to use or even pay for themselves and so parent Square will alleviate a lot of those issues and I'm looking forward to that hopefully next semester we'll offer it as an option to teachers who are ready to go ahead and jump on board and then eventually it'll be a requirement So yeah thank you to Chris Brooke before we leave you could you also give the board an update on the school board candidates page that's coming to our website sure yes we received quite a few phone calls and emails over the past couple of weeks regarding School Board candidates and where folks can go to find more information there was not one centralized location for that so we developed a short questionnaire and distributed that to all of the candidates and it was on
033our website it was released on our website this afternoon so if you go to the main page of our website there's a little pop-up that will take you right to the questionnaire you can read everyone's responses in one place foreign so a few things I want to bring to your attention really excited uh had this idea uh a while ago and tomorrow we're actually going to see it come to fruition and that is with our faith response team so we have a group of 12 individuals here in our community across all the different religious groups that might be here that are going to come together tomorrow and go through a half day of training from our end about our Safety and Security plans but then also to get input from different providers that we work
034with so in the event that there's a tragedy or some other weather related event anything that would come up where we could use a set of extra hands in our buildings to help us they're going to go through that training and then we'll be ready to start responding as needed that'll be something that we will use that I will use on a on a case-by-case basis to say well maybe it's two this time maybe it's five maybe we need all 12 depending on what situation is so really pleased and excited about that and looking forward to partnering can even further many of these individuals represent organizations or churches Who currently have relationships with our schools and Partnerships with our schools already so really excited about that I've heard a lot of great things about people
035enjoying fall break coming back looking a little bit more tan a lot more rusted and relaxed and talking with some of our teachers I trust you guys and had a great fall break as well in your emails this evening sent you an update the latest update on our construction projects excited to tell you we have now added Eisenhower to the mix and that has the construction process has begun there as well so um it's just going everywhere right now and uh really doing well though with it supply lines continue to not be an issue we continue to be where we need to be there Dion and Skillman is doing a great job with that as well um tonight was mentioned a couple different things about presentations uh we're really trying to make a and put
036an emphasis on our people sharing What's Happening Here we feel like we're a leader in the state and we want to make sure that we're getting out the things that we're doing here we've had two different presentations at isbo which is the finance portion of our state organizations I already presented there with our new teacher orientation process Mike molaski also presented there uh similar topic as well and then you heard about the eye case and then that'll also be done at the principles Association and then you guys were able to attend the school board in a Superintendent's Association presentation that Brooke I was there but Brooke was the one that took over and really did a great job with that so I appreciate the extra time that it takes for our people to get out
037there and do that but it's a great growing opportunity for us as well to hear responses and ways that we can improve ways that we get ideas from other people of how we can even make changes and make that the best that it can be so thank you to all of you in here that are doing that and we appreciate it and continue to look for ways to reach out and get the word out there about Crown Point throughout our our state thank you Dr Terrell how about other other businesses the board um anybody have anything I'd like to talk about this evening I know we have the regional dinner coming up right Diana third okay anything else anybody I'm sure I want to piggyback the uh compliment to Brooke for you know we were
038personally able to attend uh and yeah School Board conference in I mentioned this I believe I went over coffee talks and it already feels like it was so long ago now it was only like three weeks ago or something like that but um attending those for quite a while and seeing a usually the rooms are 40 50 full and I would say you probably had a 78 you know maybe a 70 70 80 percent attendance and I really think that I've never seen um the crowd so drawn to what was being said you delivered excellent you made Crown Point look unbelievable I mean all the districts were how are you guys doing this uh she's amazing three people try to offer a job before we walked out of the room maybe five I don't know
039um but uh to go so far so fast with uh one and here's my highlight to the whole what we listened to I'm sure Scott you could probably name a few too but when she showed a newsball a newsletter there was nothing but words of accomplishments verse five pictures of kids achieving those accomplishments it was like it was amazing it was in a way it was a bit embarrassing as to what you were showing what it was to what it is now but um thank you so much for that whole thing and you know saying that to you because we were able to be there in person but Mr Kiwa Mr if you infer me everyone was like like Dr Charles said going around and sharing what we're doing and picking up things along the
040way is really appreciated I think from from Office board members um so you guys know we've added a non-compete Clause to Brooks concert yeah so she's here I also think it's worth um I also think it's worth mentioning that more than a few times recently um you hear the compliments to Mr Coulson and the continuous aware and improvements and Safety and Security um you know one came up it was just it was sent to me personally it wasn't like really a board thing but it was hey I there's a child that it was planning on getting in a fight and getting picked on and they had a Arrangement or whatever it may be and you know the old hears no I shouldn't say the old but they see something say something and you know word
041travels and uh I believe there was a a bit of a opportunity to make somebody feel a bit better or avoid a bad situation but I don't think it's just that I think it's happening you know all the time so again thank you for keeping up that progress and everyone's pretty uh that another message was just pretty much what's things going on in the world it's never it doesn't seem to be ever getting easier for public education and safety and um it was being shared with me that you know someone they attended I'm saying a lot of someone's come I'm being indirect to naming who these individuals may be but um they attended their own safety seminars and it was kind of like a check we're doing that check we're doing that check we're doing
042that it's uh just you know could always could never not do enough but I think it's really important to hear some track tracking and the compliments coming to share with you so thank you um and then uh probably save this for the statements appreciation but gosh the other one I had was that the uh the achievements of the uh touchdown club and you know what they're providing some of this stuff for the uh for the for the football team and I think it uh one of the reasons to mention it is that they're providing that's that or that's that group those parents providing for those kids so a lot of people are going to miss misconception that oh they the schools buying this or buying that or you know for but um I mean gosh
043when they when they go out there and doing the work to raise it um good for them and hope they continue their success so um all right so that was kind of like a appreciation to mention but any other business Mr Hoffman you have anything to share for other businesses aboard you said thumbs up he's good okay well something comes up to we can move forward to statements appreciation and still mix it in there if you want or Mr Smith yeah just just going back to the business of the board I think David and I had the opportunity to go around to I think we've hit four schools now and really it's a it's a great experience just to get to talk to the building leader and see what's going on in the schools and
044hopefully weren't too disruptive but uh it's really nice to catch up one of the things that became clear going back to officer Colson is just the um how much the communication has improved between the schools and then along with the police departments for each each area or even the county and that was just echoed constantly I mean it seems like that was a big issue that was resolved recently but I just want to commend as we walk through the schools you know the creativity that the staffs had because there's I mean it's it's amazing how they maximize space it continued to function I mean I had no idea I was just blown away so to the building leaders the teachers and the students who have adjusted and they're not missed in a beat it's it's
045just astonishing because there's things going on all around and they got wooden hallways and you know office spaces become classrooms or classrooms become offices and it's just amazing to see that the operations have continued and so I think for all those schools that have had to make those adjustments and accommodations I just want to commend them and say Well done because it's not easy and but they've done a great job of adjusting so great point any other other business if not we'll move to a board statements of appreciation and recognition we could start down back back to you Mr Smith if you have anything Mr Patrick I'll Echo Todd's comment about fall break I mean I heard personally from a lot of people that really appreciated the time off uh ran into families at the
046airports that were going on vacation and saw a lot of stuff on social media about that looked like people had a really good time with that week off for fall break so um no I think that was I think that's well you know hopefully the teachers are well rested a lot of them are coming back to parent-teacher conferences this week so um I know I have one scheduled myself and a teacher probably needs some time to prepare for it so hopefully they're relaxed and ready to go that's Randall I'd say that's great but when now you have a teacher in your family and he lives in your house and now he's home for a week I don't know if those circumstances are the greatest but uh that hits your mind we're all good with that
047moving forward but uh I had to mention that as uh not used to having the working new teacher home for a whole week and really nothing to do other than look ahead so I was going to mention something about Brooke as far as I've attended that ISB account for sale for 17 years and I've been in a lot of them to where you have a tendency late in the afternoon to doze off so I just want to say Kudos because it was done in a way to where she presented it to where you could understand it from a board member perspective now what a lot of people don't realize is US board members none of us usually grew up with an education background I had a dad that was a teacher brother I was a
048teacher all that aspect of it so you have to put it in layman's terms to how a board member is going to accept it of being inside a school corporation because it runs differently than all the businesses that we kind of do as individuals and it was very like pointed to where kudos to the one point that's all I'm going to say is to where she literally said there's a method so called the madness to where when you have something you have to put out there you have to have a plan of what needs to be put out and how it needs to be put out in a format to where you're making yourself look good if it's something good and yet if it's something that needs to be brought out to all you parents
049it needs to be put and presented as soon as possible and in a way that you understand that nothing might be earth-shattering but you need to be aware of this so great job on that is once again I've attended a lot of those things and it was well put together and well presented which I think is a real key so kudos to Brick on that and a few others presenting miss pascus Mr Gene Fermi moving forward Mr Kiwa if there's any way to get a copy of that or a so-called videotape of it we'd love to see that as well so we could not be able to attend can at least say you know job well done because we do have a lot of good things here at Crown Point and the fact that we're
050willing to share that with the state with other schools it should be because people are trying to copy Us in certain ways certain forms so why not share that so and then the only other appreciation is to all our athletic teams I don't want to leave anybody out whether it be our cross-country teams both qualifying for sectionals the girls team now qualifying for State the football team undefeated the volleyball team making it to Regionals uh soccer team making it to semi-state I mean just outstanding the boys tennis winning sectionals um just I mean if you think about that it goes on and on and on and it's pretty incredible that we're in that standard here at Crown Point to where you know kind of just goes unnoticed when you want a sectional crowd which that
051shouldn't happen for those individuals participating someone says oh it's almost expected wow yeah everything's not always you know Rosy at the top and you can't continue to do it for the years we continue to do it as a community so congratulations to all those players the coaches parents supporting their their kids in those Endeavors because it's not ever easy following those to each and every event to make sure you're there for your kid so that's all I have this evening Mr Hoffman did you have a board statements of appreciation and recognition of Brooke demanding a pay raise I too would like to commend her and I think one of the highest compliments it was probably paid as far as that presentation was when Harry Spradlin head of the Indiana school boards Association came over to
052Dr Carroll and he says I gave her a job offer that's a conclusion of her presentation uh like like Scott I've been attending these things for many years and it's difficult to try and find sessions to attend where you think you're going to learn something based upon my years on the school board my years on the board of directors of the Indiana school boards Association I can confidently say that that Crown Point Community School Corporation is ahead of the Curve we are one of the finest School corporations North of Indianapolis and I serve on a board with representatives from Avon Center Grove Zionsville Carmel Hamilton Southeastern Yorktown some of the finest School corporations in the state and they look to us from time to time for for ideas on what to do so I think
053that's a great compliment to the school corporation you know we we need to keep up the good work to you guys sitting there that normally are sitting beside me that are on my screen deserve a lot of credit for What's Happening Here as do Dr Carroll and our entire administrative team our support our teachers and our staff thank you thank you Tom one last uh lap round anybody I do not have I think it was all covered anything to write down myself after all that uh one one last lap and any last thoughts before we look for motion to adjourn I forgot one thing David yes Mr Bad Jack was talking about fall break I've had an excellent fall break so I just want to throw that in when did yours start right right okay
