001Joseph Sterbank: For… The rationale, of the change orders, that was requested. Joseph Sterbank: … Joseph Sterbank: Staffing, I sent you an update, last week, and, we're going to be filling the long-term, sub-position tonight for 5th grade, and the AIS position, for 12 weeks. Joseph Sterbank: E&L, we're interviewing this week. Music, we're interviewing this week as well, and we still have TAs to fill. Joseph Sterbank: When we fill these, these instructional positions. Joseph Sterbank: We'll be up to 24 instructional positions that we've filled, Joseph Sterbank: starting in the spring, through now, and then… Did you say 24? 24. From… Joseph Sterbank: The start, like, about January, and then we're going to be up to approximately 10 non-instructional positions. Is this higher than it was? This is the highest. The highest. The highest that I can remember.
002Joseph Sterbank: The year that Noel started, we had a lot, but I don't think it was this many. Between retirements, people changing jobs, and different things like that, … Yeah, because we're seeing some people go, like, into, like, private sector, changing… Joseph Sterbank: Changing careers. Yep. So, kudos to the administrators, a big kudos to all the staff that have volunteered their time from, you know, starting during the school year throughout the summer, Joseph Sterbank: we've had… Joseph Sterbank: countless number of people. I'd have to go back and get the committee lists, but teachers, volunteering to be on, interview screening committees and helping us, and, you know. Joseph Sterbank: we approached a hiring process and a shared decision, making model, and it's been very successful. We've done it since I've got here, and I just have
003to shout out to the people who volunteer their time. Joseph Sterbank: And be part of that hiring process, and to the principals, because they're doing all the… Joseph Sterbank: first round interviews with the committees, and … this week, we're gonna expedite it, and I'm joining, the E&L interviews right at Rockwell. We're gonna do those all in one shot. Joseph Sterbank: It's getting down to the end of the year, so… Joseph Sterbank: I think we've got a pretty good process, and like I said, I'll say it again to the staff, the collaboration and the volunteering from the staff is, very much appreciated. Joseph Sterbank: … Joseph Sterbank: I've up… I did some work on the Town of Onondaga Strategic Plan Survey. If you remember, I sent something out to the board. I've got that pretty down,
004pretty much down to, what I think is a good response for the school district. Joseph Sterbank: You're all welcome to add into that if you wish. Since you read it last, I added a piece to stress the importance of the John Diaz Community Center, and how that could play into the strategic plan. Joseph Sterbank: the town of Onondaga, along with, Joseph Sterbank: my other suggestions that you, have already read about a planned usage for residential and commercial properties, and inviting, builders for commercial and residential properties, and what that could look like for Onodata Central, Joseph Sterbank: So… but that's kind of a summary of it. Joseph Sterbank: I pulled in a couple examples of, other communities that have done strategic plans that I looked up, and Canistota was the most similar that I found. Joseph
005Sterbank: And they did something along the Erie Canal, in Canistota. And then, of course, Brewerton and Clay came up as an example with Micron coming in. Joseph Sterbank: And then Skinny Alice was another one, but overall, the first one on the list is Canistota, because that's more similar to us in, demographics and size than Skinny Alice in North Syracuse. Joseph Sterbank: And Hamilton was another one. So, I thought those were good examples to share with the town. I'm appreciative that the town has reached out to the school district and asked to participate in their strategic plan, so… Joseph Sterbank: I think what we have is pretty general, with a little specificity in some certain areas, but if I can continue to partner with the town and serve on a committee, I've offered my services to
006them as part of that as well, too. Joseph Sterbank: … It's on here on the agenda, again, just to, to, … … Joseph Sterbank: We've had a little bit of feedback, out of approximately Joseph Sterbank: 750 students will receive feedback from two parents on the internet-enabled devices. We're ready to launch that, just like all the other school districts are. We've provided a response to each of those community members. Joseph Sterbank: The families that reached out to us, so, and you've all been copied on that. Not swatting at you, Max, that flies bugging you or bugging me. So, that… that's looking like it's going forward, because it's state law, and we have a policy in place, but, … Joseph Sterbank: Yeah, pending your questions, that's all I have for the board today. Joseph Sterbank: Did we
007add clarifying language to our… that policy, just because one of the parents was concerned that students couldn't call 911 in an emergency without an adult present? We didn't… if we… if we want to add that, we can bring that back to the board… Okay. …for an adjustment. All right. And what I… what I did put in my email is, in the event of an emergency. Joseph Sterbank: I don't think anyone's going to be punishing a child for calling 911. Joseph Sterbank: Because that phone call could come from a classroom and not just from a cell phone. Every classroom in our district, you can pick it up and call 911, and it's going to be recorded of where the phone call came from by room number and telephone number, what time. Joseph Sterbank: … Joseph Sterbank:
008you know, that's… and I get an email on all of those, like, when it happens, so… because we've had people… we used to dial 9 to get out, and we had more mistakes with dialing 9 to get an outside line, so we changed it to 6. When it was a 9, we got more mistakes. Joseph Sterbank: You know, it's, you know, hit one too many times, and all of a sudden, 911's calling. So… Joseph Sterbank: But, that's… I think the two parent concerns we had were related to, like, in an emergency, being able to get ahold of their kids, and I just think it's important that we just re-emphasize that in a true emergency, we want students listening to the staff, not on their cell phone. Joseph Sterbank: Anyway, like, active shooter situation, God forbid,
009we don't want that to happen. Obviously, that's worst-case scenario, but even in that situation, we don't want every student calling their parents, we want them listening to staff's directives, being quiet, like they do in lockdown drills, stuff like that. Joseph Sterbank: And we put that into that communication out to the parent as well, too. Joseph Sterbank: That was a good collaborative effort on both of those communications from the board and the administration and the district office, just so we covered everything to be as clear as we could. Joseph Sterbank: Thank you. Yep. Joseph Sterbank: Administrative Staff Reports. Joe, business office. Joseph Sterbank: … Joseph Sterbank: Since we've begun the 25-26 school year, the night class information is only through July 1 through August 8th, so the AYP for the period is 4.1372, which would look
010like a pretty significant drop. It was more so that last year was kind of like a compiled average, so it continued to come down, but this is where we are right now. The district has earned almost $20,000 of interest, $3,500 of which is from the general fund. Joseph Sterbank: We got our final food service report from West Genesee. We recouped all of our administrative fees from the previous year, so it will be break-even. In addition to, we also received an additional $21,000 in equipment over the year through our partnership through West Jenny, so looking forward to another successful 25-26 school year. Joseph Sterbank: I attached the transition to EV Portal, in… for Executive Concept for your review. Joseph Sterbank: The deadline for that submission was by August 1st, and I just want to make sure
011that you're aware of the questions that's being asked of the district, and will continue to be asked of the district over the next year, which will come up annually, so I know the committee was not in support of electric buses. Joseph Sterbank: It's mandated by the state that we do this report, so it just kind of just keeps us up to date with where we are as far as the progress, and the state collects that information from every district. Can I just jump in on the electric buses? Joseph Sterbank: We'll have to, demonstrate, and it's up to the board. Each year, we have to demonstrate that we've presented electric buses to the community, and whether we do that in a separate vote or do that along with the budget vote. Joseph Sterbank: we need to
012make that decision sometime before, the end of September, just to stay in compliance. I'd like to make it before the end of August to stay in compliance with notification, laws. Joseph Sterbank: for if we're going to do another special boat for the electric buses or not, or we just put them on. And if we were to put them on with our budget in May, it would… we would do it very similar to what we did in December, is we would put them on to purchase Joseph Sterbank: 2 or 3 gas buses, or 2 or 3 electric buses. Same type of, scenario, so… Joseph Sterbank: There would be a cost if we did it outside the regular budget vote, right? Of just, like, running the vote and stuff. The poll workers, the legal fees for the
013announcements, and all… yeah, there's a fee for that. Joseph Sterbank: Isn't it somewhere between, like, 5 and 10,000? That's just for the machines. That's just the machines. That's not the man hours. Yeah. Yeah. Joseph Sterbank: And what we did see across Central, across New York State is there was a few other districts who ran their electric bus vote separate from the budget. Joseph Sterbank: And then, what became more commonplace is they ran their electric festival with their budget and had, Joseph Sterbank: their budget vote, and any other referendums, and then, gas, gasoline or diesel buses, combustion engines, and then electric buses. It made for a much longer, Joseph Sterbank: sheet, but that's how they did it, so… It makes… it makes more sense, in my opinion, to do it that way anyway, because that… Joseph
014Sterbank: You know, if you run it in the middle and whenever. Joseph Sterbank: You're not gonna get many people to come out for just that vote. Joseph Sterbank: Plus, you're gonna have the expense of running the boat. Yep. You're gonna have more potential for people to come vote on a budget vote. Joseph Sterbank: Which is going to give you a better idea of the actual feelings of the community as a whole. Joseph Sterbank: So, our numbers were good in December. I agree with Jason in finding some sense, and I was wondering, what is the difference in votes? Do you remember, between how many people came to vote on the bus versus budget? Joseph Sterbank: Roughly. It would just be interesting to know. But I definitely agree from a financial standpoint, too. It was definitely less
015than this budget vote. It was significantly higher than past budget votes. Trust me. Last year, again, we were bound by that deadline to try to get those funds from NYSUDA. That's the reason why we have to go in December. Right. Unless we're forced to do it, I think it would be fiscally irresponsible. Joseph Sterbank: To hold at any time other than… We're in a budget. Joseph Sterbank: Oh, sorry. No, but… No, I'm done. Okay. Mike DeBots was out from Mengele, Metzger, and Barr going through our audit with his team. Mike will come back and report out. He's hoping, he could do an audit committee date of September 9th, if that works for Jason and Mike. So, you know, if that's something you guys are able to do before the meeting, then typically he will follow
016that up with a presentation to the board. Joseph Sterbank: Just wanted to put that out there as a date or something to check your calendars on. Joseph Sterbank: … Joseph Sterbank: Finally, and we talked about it a little bit beforehand, the recording of the meeting statement. I put a comment in there, and it's been brought up before. Joseph Sterbank: with school business officials about just the continued practice of capabilities of AI and the things you see out there of having the likeliness of Joseph Sterbank: board members, district staff, community members, just having that out on a recording. We talked about it in our leadership meeting in advance of this meeting, and I just wanted to just give you kind of a sample statement, if that was something that the board was at all interested in
017or not. Again, just for kind of, you know, data protection purposes. But it's obviously something to the purview of the board. I just wanted to put it out there, because I know that some of the districts have moved in that Joseph Sterbank: direction. Joseph Sterbank: Outside of that, do you have any questions for me? Do we have data on how many people… we don't… we can't see how many people stream the meeting, we can just see how many people sign in, right? Is that correct? Yes. Joseph Sterbank: And then we don't know if people… if you go to the streaming link, it doesn't log you in. Joseph Sterbank: I think there's a link, you can see how many people get in, you can't tell how long they stay. Okay. And then on the Zoom, it
018has people logged in, some are logged in as themselves, some are logged in as anonymous something. Joseph Sterbank: And we don't have any idea how many people download the meetings to watch later. There's no way to… Not today. If they download, we have no record of that. Okay. Joseph Sterbank: I just, I think, accessibility and, open communication is important, so if people, you know, can attend in person, can watch online, or can watch it later, I think it's always a bonus, but I can see where that'd be. Joseph Sterbank: an annoying thing to worry about. Absolutely. Joseph Sterbank: I don't have an issue with live streaming it, but the recorded meetings, I feel, maybe should be saved, but not saved publicly. Minutes are still public. Yeah, I just wanted to just kind of get that
019out there to you, so, you know, that you're aware of this. Joseph Sterbank: You know? Oftentimes looking, you know, how other districts Joseph Sterbank: We want to be consistent. Yes. You know, so it's, well, why is everybody else doing that? One of the big things that came up not too long ago was having a staff directory, and is that something I'm sure you would notice that we've moved away from? … You know, so… Joseph Sterbank: Obviously, we want parents to be able to get in touch with their students. We're not taking down the phone numbers for the schools, you know, so obviously it's definitely a focus of the districts to maintain transparency, but at the same time. Joseph Sterbank: You want to make it as easy as possible for somebody to just get into our,
020you know, meetings and get information they wouldn't have, so we're trying to be, you know, cautious with redacting signatures, things like that, so… Joseph Sterbank: something that has come up, and I just wanted to bring it to the entire board, because we had talked about it in our agenda radio in advance. Joseph Sterbank: Thank you. Joseph Sterbank: Great. Joseph Sterbank: Thank you. Joseph Sterbank: Maintenance. Bain. Joseph Sterbank: beginning of the latest trend, … Joseph Sterbank: We're gonna work order solutions continue, including, so we've been doing a lot of smaller forward stage meetings. Joseph Sterbank: Things have been critized to the apartment. This is when we change everything out. I'm sure our site pretty much knows that some of the busiest around. Right now, part-time to get big projects done, and that's what we've been doing.
021Joseph Sterbank: So, a lot of smart board installations, EV installations, a lot of painting, different walls, touch-up payments, bag funding, stuff like that, and then, of course, our continued Joseph Sterbank: the work order process, right? Because not only are the teachers published, you know, changing up for multiple bits, stuff like that, shows that Joseph Sterbank: We're still the guy, we're still the guy, the grounds guy who took out Brad soon. But one of the grounds guy has done a great job with the help of us, Joseph Sterbank: So field preparation's underway for fall sports to start on the 18th. That will be, tasks include, paying fields, full setups, cross-country trail, we just went through the cross-country trail, picked all that up. Joseph Sterbank: As we do every year, and we're working on an underfense installation
022project, which we've been continuing on. Joseph Sterbank: For that. Custodial's been, you know, been awesome, they've been super busy. It's been a little bit different because this year we had high school. Joseph Sterbank: and Wheeler are all in the same building. We've got this building pretty much done now. Now everybody's moving over to Wheeler. That paddle's almost completed, right? So we're moving along over there. High school's about 90% complete right now. Rockwell's 80, because now they're working on the gym, the… Joseph Sterbank: And I was talking. Right, well, I was working on a gin. Joseph Sterbank: The, cafeteria, the bigger, the bigger pieces that we had summer camp in there. Joseph Sterbank: Right? So now we're taking control of that. Joseph Sterbank: My wheel here is about 30% fee right now, and we're mixed up
023with the hallway. Joseph Sterbank: By the end of the week. So, you know, once again, thank you to all my staff. It's sad. Joseph Sterbank: That's all I got to see if anybody else has a question. Joseph Sterbank: Great. Thank you. Joseph Sterbank: Who's covering, Sanford? Joseph Sterbank: Hey, anyone has interest. Joseph Sterbank: Alright, Matt. I got Matt. Okay. Transportation. That's what I was wondering. Joseph Sterbank: Two new big buses, 14 and 15, have been delivered. Underground buses, the bus fleet that we do every year is underway. They're all being washed and updated, and pre-trip inspection will be conducted. Joseph Sterbank: Parks and Recreation has completed their summer session at Rockwell, as I just said. The ESY summer programs are completing their summer schedule this week. Joseph Sterbank: SARS will complete their session next week.
024Joseph Sterbank: Our routes for September are under development. Staff is getting ready to return to school. Joseph Sterbank: Great. Thank you. Joseph Sterbank: Okay, now I have to report. Ginger says she's sorry that she's unable to attend the meeting tonight. We conducted therapeutic crisis intervention treatment for our third cohort of staff last week at Killer. We had 13 staff members participate, and in the three-day training. Joseph Sterbank: The trainings provided lots of information over a short amount of time. Staff did a great job on labeling between there and this page. Joseph Sterbank: On August 26th, we have a professional development name for our consultant, and our work will focus on especially different research. Joseph Sterbank: Chris? Joseph Sterbank: Thank you. Joseph Sterbank: You ready? For the third time, we did wrap up the Parks and
025Rec program. It was a great summer. We had, no issues with them there. It was, like, having kids in the building, and they really, did a nice job. It was a great partnership. Custodians did a fantastic job. I just want to commend them. They got everything ready so quickly. Teachers wouldn't have been able to get in and start all the rooms right away, which has been a nice. Joseph Sterbank: breath of fresh air after we went through the whole tiling thing ourselves, and then you had to wait till the last minutes. It got to have very kind of started. Really appreciate your hard work. Joseph Sterbank: Getting that done quickly. Joseph Sterbank: We had our reveal math training today for our new math program, so we had Wheeler and Rockwell in the Rockwell cafeteria. It
026was very successful, just by informal checking in with teachers. Everyone felt very prepared and, like, it was a thorough training. We had most of our materials that had arrived in time that we also gave the teachers time today and had some questions to talk to the medical options, so we're excited to get that underway. Joseph Sterbank: We have our obstacles with the principal and meet for the event on the 27th, so that's when teacher or students will be able to come in, drop their belongings in their classrooms, and meet their teachers for the first hour, then we'll head outside. All of our new riders will have a chance to ride the bus for the first time. Joseph Sterbank: Our new family orientation is on the sunny bed. That's really only necessary for new families to
027Rockwell. It's just general information about our school. If you've had children go through Rockwell before, you're more than welcome to attend. However, some of the information may be repetitive. It's really… Joseph Sterbank: peers towards the brand new families. The long-anticipated, Joseph Sterbank: Message on ParentSquare about who everyone's teacher is will be going out on Friday morning, so stay tuned. Joseph Sterbank: And any questions about Rapa? Joseph Sterbank: What are the UPK numbers like? Joseph Sterbank: I would… I have to pull up exactly, but I think we're down to, like, 20 or 39. We had another student, that was placed in another special program, and we had another student, opt for a… Joseph Sterbank: private school. And I believe that some of those have been due to the Healthy Kids program not being able to provide
028care. Joseph Sterbank: And we're… are we still actively looking for another partnership for that, or…? Joseph Sterbank: Yes? Seconds are second. I mean, yeah, yes, the dolly fits is also still actively looking for, someone to hire who can provide the 4-year-old. Joseph Sterbank: care, so they are also looking to hire within their program. If they don't not offer it, they just don't have Joseph Sterbank: staff to do it right now, so they are registering 4-year-olds. Joseph Sterbank: Any other questions? Joseph Sterbank: Good evening. I don't have much, a lot that's been said already, with the massive deal for any of the Wheeler, PCIS, stuff, but I would like to thank the projects Joseph Sterbank: Managers, and the custodians, and the construction workers. Joseph Sterbank: They've been very receptive to keeping the hallways clear, allowing staff
029to come in and out of the building, and they've been really sensitive to those areas, letting the staff come in and out. So, I appreciate that. I was gonna say a good staff, who has been coming in repeatedly for early interviews, as we mentioned earlier. We've interviewed for subpositions, three times this summer, and those staff have done that on their own. Joseph Sterbank: I didn't have to do that, and so that just shows the commitment that we have there. The only upcoming event that we have at Wheeler would be the, Third Rate Welcome Night, the 28th, but, once we get close to the next board meeting, I'll have more updates and, Joseph Sterbank: The assignment will be going out, like Katie said, on Friday as well. However, some Wheeler parents got a sneak peek due
030to a clerical error, so, they'll be coming out on Friday. Joseph Sterbank: Tim… Joseph Sterbank: incoming 7th graders, welcoming them to the Junior Senior High School. The schedule and locker assignments, as well as all the forms, have been sent out on Parent Square, so if you haven't seen those, please make sure that you're contacting the Junior Senior High School main office, and we can get that information for you. Joseph Sterbank: We encourage all 7th graders to walk their schedule throughout August. We've been telling 7th graders to do that. It eases the stress and the anxiety levels, of the 7th graders to know where they're going, and not be here the first time on the first day of school. Joseph Sterbank: We have 7th grade orientation, and locker night is scheduled for September 2nd from 5
031to 6. Joseph Sterbank: We are currently doing Regents Review classes here at the high school and at BOCES, and Regents exams will be held here, on August 19th and 20th. Joseph Sterbank: The building looks great, as Shane mentioned. The custodians have done a wonderful job, so I thank them for their hard work. I thank the staff, as well, for coming in and doing interviews and spending their time, getting stuff ready for the beginning of the school year. Joseph Sterbank: And then finally, the summer production of Curtis was outstanding. It was great to see the community and the staff and students come together for an outstanding production. Joseph Sterbank: So, barring any questions? Joseph Sterbank: I have two. Sure. I have a list tonight. Joseph Sterbank: Somebody approached me about honors classes, and I just wanted
032to clarify about it. So, those aren't being offered because of the reduced staffing, correct? Correct. Okay. And just for those of us who are new to the high school experience, what is the difference normally between honors and non-honors courses? So, the honors versus, regular, there's two, two differences, major differences. One is, credits. Joseph Sterbank: for your cumulative GPA, versus weighted or unweighted GPA, is instead of 1, it's multiplied by 1.25. So the grading is a little bit different. But, it's also accelerated, so they're going at a much faster pace in the honors class than typically they would in a different class. Joseph Sterbank: what we've done to kind of offset that is, and I'm still going to be with the department chairs to go over this, but we're going to utilize the VIN, not only
033just for remediation, but for enrichment as well. So, we're going to allow the students to have that, quicker pace and more instruction so that they're ready to be into 8-year college-level classes and 10th and 11th grade. Joseph Sterbank: And then… It was just at science and, science and English were the arms classes that were. And so… Okay. Joseph Sterbank: Even though we didn't reduce a science position, we just reduced in English? Correct. Yeah, based off of the schedule and what we had with numbers, it was… we couldn't fit everybody in the honors class. And the other factor behind that was everybody was getting Joseph Sterbank: Promoted honors. Joseph Sterbank: So, it almost seemed like either we could call it all honors, or we could call it regular, but, we had, like, 45 people, 45 students
034recommended, so that's fine, for example. Okay, and then I was just wondering how that impacted class sizes. Like, what were the class sizes of bio when we split it between honors and regular, and now that we're putting it all together? Joseph Sterbank: Estimated, it would be, like. Joseph Sterbank: Well, honors bio is a little different, but say for English, it would bet, like, 8 in an honors pass versus 22 in a non-honors pass, so now it's back down to about 1560 per class. They balance them out much better. Joseph Sterbank: Okay. Oh, and then my other question was, for locker night, I know that varsity soccer has a game that night, you can't come. Is there gonna be any… and I imagine other sports might also have a conflict? I was wondering if you can
035talk. Okay, alright. Now until the start of school, they come in and put something in the lockers, even that day. Okay, yeah, that's what they were like, can we come at 2? Because they get on the bus at 2.30, can we all come in at 2? Joseph Sterbank: our stuff in our lockers. Absolutely. Joseph Sterbank: Thanks. Any other questions? Joseph Sterbank: Thank you. Thank you. Joseph Sterbank: So summer workouts have begun. I know some of you probably saw some volleyball players go to the gym. There was just, I think wrestling is currently going on in the wrestling room, and modified football was just in the waiting room, so summer workouts are continuing to happen. Those times are sent to Parent Square. We're really emphasizing the coaches to send it out to Parent Square. Joseph Sterbank:
036Tay's football camp was a huge success. There's a bunch of kids here. I asked somebody that day, and they said there's over 100 kids registered for that camp, and just from looking at the field, I would say that's probably a pretty good number, a pretty good estimate. Joseph Sterbank: The gym, it was an awesome alumni game afterwards. It was a one-point game, so I'm saying it was 99-98. Joseph Sterbank: … Joseph Sterbank: packed house, I would say 150, 200 people in that gym, and the dinner following that was sold out. So it was a super successful evening, everything was awesome that day. I would like to say thank you to Shane and his group for getting the fields ready, making sure the building and the facilities were awesome that night. It looked fantastic, so thank
037you. Joseph Sterbank: Just a couple days, August 18th is the start of JV and varsity ball sports. August 25th is the start of modified football, and then all other modified sports will start on September 3rd. Joseph Sterbank: We are in the process of hiring a varsity baseball coach. Joseph Sterbank: Hopefully that recommendation will come at the next board meeting. We're currently working on the paperwork as we speak. We did have one little change tonight. Originally, the Joseph Sterbank: boys varsity golf team was going to combine with Tully. After looking through that more and hearing from the parents of the students that are going to participate, we kind of ran into a snafu with transportation. Joseph Sterbank: So, to kind of fix that, we decided to drop out of that combination with Tully, and we were
038instead going to combine with Lafayette. And that solves the transportation problem that we ran into. So you may have seen originally that we were going to combine with Tully. Last second change, we changed it to a combination with Lafayette to accommodate those problems. Joseph Sterbank: … Joseph Sterbank: We still have some coaching positions that we are going to advertise, or continue to advertise for. We have assisted modified football coach. Joseph Sterbank: We have two modified volleyball coaches, we have a varsity assistant softball coach, a JV softball head coach, a varsity baseball assistant coach, modified baseball head coach, and a varsity tennis head coach position still open as of now. Joseph Sterbank: And the last thing I have is just a reminder on the homecoming dates. So on September 19th, we have the Ollie Conference at
039Bishop London, 4.30 and 6 o'clock, JV Varsity, respectively. Joseph Sterbank: We have boys soccer versus Mother's Day at 5pm, and we have girls soccer versus Saltway on that Friday at 7pm. Varsity football plays Hannibal on Saturday the 20th at 1pm. Joseph Sterbank: That's all I have borrowing for questions. Joseph Sterbank: Thank you. Joseph Sterbank: Great. Joseph Sterbank: E1, speak to the board. Sat down, please. Joseph Sterbank: Alright, we have, Mary Beth Featherstone? Joseph Sterbank: Hi, I, first of all, Maxwell, welcome to the board. It's nice to have a high school representative here to represent the business of students. And I think this is a great body that works into it. So, welcome. Thank you. Okay, … Joseph Sterbank: There's a big problem with communication and transparency, in my view. This is not the first time
040in the last 6 board meetings, that on the agenda, it says it's at Rockwell. On the website, it says it's at a high school. Joseph Sterbank: A bunch of us showed up at Rock Club, there's nobody in the parking lot. Joseph Sterbank: … Joseph Sterbank: You talk about transparency, why do people need to be on Zoom? If one person, in my opinion, one person is signing on to Zoom, you should keep that going, because that is the community listed. Many of the times, it's our teachers, it's our union president. Joseph Sterbank: Who's already worked for 12 hours, and needs to know what the effective communication is to communicate it back to a membership. Joseph Sterbank: As a community member, there's sometimes… I appreciate all of you coming here in person. It takes a lot out
041of your days. It's, it's appreciated. You're volunteering your time. Joseph Sterbank: To help all of us, and that's… we appreciate that. But sometimes, we'd like to just sign on from home to know what's… what's happening. Joseph Sterbank: We, don't have to do that, but we do it because we care about the kids, because what you are doing is a direct impact on not only your children, but our classrooms and our community. And… Joseph Sterbank: I'm not even gonna go on with just transparent with this quote, okay? Joseph Sterbank: The community spoke at the last election, and as far as I'm concerned, this is a technicality to get Mr. Nelson removed from his presidency. Joseph Sterbank: Fine, you know what? There's another election in May. Joseph Sterbank: We've got time. It will happen. The last goal
042was the largest voter turnout since they tried to close Rafa. Joseph Sterbank: We've got people that are rolling up into the parking lot right now. It's out into the community, and I also found it interesting that that meeting did not start to be recorded until 6-18. Joseph Sterbank: The play button did not start being recorded until 6.18. What are you trying to hide? Don't worry, we got it. We have it. Thank you. Joseph Sterbank: science and medium. Joseph Sterbank: Tammy Donor? Joseph Sterbank: I just kind of want to piggyback on what she said about Zooms and stuff like that. I think that's wonderful, that was great, because sometimes I work Tuesday nights. Joseph Sterbank: late night, so I can't make it. And I like to stay anymore, but I've always been here. Been here before
043I'm on board, after I've been on board, with a little hiatus, a little bit there, but, you know, whatever. And I understand your policy of looking at taking it down. I hope you guys look the same apology when you have people that work in your buildings posting this to TikTok. Joseph Sterbank: or from your security hands. I hope that is also for you to look at. Joseph Sterbank: Thank you. Joseph Sterbank: Are we allowed, are we allowed? Joseph Sterbank: Okay. Joseph Sterbank: We listen. Yeah, you can ask your question. Okay, I never know if we're allowed to respond and stuff, so I just wanted to ask, I am fully on board with, streaming, Zooming, I think it's great. I think accessibility is great. I campaigned on that when I ran for the town board. I
044think every school board should do it. There should be, nothing but transparency. I'm just wondering. Joseph Sterbank: Do you guys, watch the recordings? Is that something also you want? Okay. Okay, yeah. Joseph Sterbank: So they'll sign on after to see what took place, and it's more powerful coming out of your mind than it is hearsay. Yeah. It's not hearsay. I agree, I agree entirely. Yep. I was just curious if people are doing that. That's good to know. I'm glad you brought it up, too, because then… Joseph Sterbank: New to the board, a lot to learn, things are going fast. I feel like we breezed right through that, and I agree, I feel like that should be available to everybody. Joseph Sterbank: And it kind of went through pretty fast, so… Joseph Sterbank: Tammy, can you
045share with me the TikTok post that was from a security camera? Not appropriate at all. Joseph Sterbank: I don't. It's first I've… just first I've heard of it, you know, unless we're told about it. And what was the other one, Tammy, you said? Joseph Sterbank: something else getting posted from school to TikTok? No, I mean, from the security standpoint at school, … That was the only one? Okay. I just… I just wanted clarification, because I thought there was two, two… Joseph Sterbank: But there was an incident, just for clarification, there was an incident of a picture from security camera Joseph Sterbank: posted the TikTok. Yeah. Joseph Sterbank: With students? Yep. Okay, thank you. Joseph Sterbank: It wasn't a picture of this video. Joseph Sterbank: Was it video? Okay. Joseph Sterbank: So that was from our
046cameras, the school cameras? Joseph Sterbank: And staff member? Put it on social media? Joseph Sterbank: Wow. Joseph Sterbank: When was this? Joseph Sterbank: Gosh, everyone. Joseph Sterbank: in the spring is a good timeline? That's from what I was posted, but it's been out there since… Joseph Sterbank: At least… May, June. So, spring, okay. Joseph Sterbank: Thank you. Joseph Sterbank: Mary Beth, I thought my phone was on silent, I didn't… Joseph Sterbank: for that to go out. Take over 2 minutes, so I thought that was… and that's another… I'll talk about that. Well, it's for me to just keep track. Did you have more incentive? Yeah, I did, but I mean, ultimately, I'll write a letter and present it to the board, but ultimately, I'd like that 2 minutes extended to 4 minutes, and I also
047think that… Joseph Sterbank: the communication from the public, us sitting here, you should hear at the beginning of the meeting and after the meeting, so that you can truly hear what we're thinking and what our friends are thinking at the end of the meeting, based on the decisions that you're making. And in the past, how many times do people really speak? If you really think about it, and you really add up the metrics. Joseph Sterbank: less than this many times in the last 6 months if somebody actually got up and spoken in a meeting. So, have the opportunity to speak at the beginning of the meeting, and at the end of the meeting. Change it from 2 minutes to 4 minutes. I understand that we have a parameters, and it's a hot topic, and you
048have to keep it out there for everybody, but I think in… Joseph Sterbank: the true spirit of effective communication, it would go wrong. Thank you. Joseph Sterbank: Give me one sec. Joseph Sterbank: Okay. Joseph Sterbank: Carrie McIntosh. Joseph Sterbank: Yes, I also agree with what Mrs. Scott said, but I also have a question. If the bill went the other way, this had been done tonight as well? Yes. Yes. Joseph Sterbank: True. Joseph Sterbank: Alright, F1 consents items. Joseph Sterbank: Mike, it was missed on D3. We didn't do Board of Education. Joseph Sterbank: Did Board have any comments? Oh, geez, I'm sorry. Joseph Sterbank: A little jet lag. I apologize. Board of Education members, Nate? Joseph Sterbank: Thank you. Joseph Sterbank: Well, I can thank you guys for all that you do. Joseph Sterbank: As I'm
049sitting here, I'm getting a message. Joseph Sterbank: Speaking of social media, saying that the Board of Education is super special. Ha ha ha. Joseph Sterbank: Herb. Joseph Sterbank: Guys, we're volunteering up here, right? I'm doing the best I can do, I'm learning, and if you're not happy with what I'm doing, then I'm sorry. But we're all volunteering here. Joseph Sterbank: And we're all adults in here, we need to act like adults. Joseph Sterbank: And I appreciate you guys, and I respect everyone. But we just have to respect everyone's opinions, Things happen. Joseph Sterbank: Maybe you don't agree with it, maybe I don't agree with it, but we all have to be adults, because we're examples of kids. If we're acting like kids in here, we're gonna act like kids in front of kids. So, I'm
050sorry I'm in one place for saying that, but I don't usually talk much. Joseph Sterbank: I just feel that we have to support each other. We have to support our teachers, we have to support our Board of Education members, and putting it on social media causes a big fire that I'm getting text messages about, and that's not really called for. Joseph Sterbank: We're a small community, and we stick together. We come together when we need to. Am I right on that? Joseph Sterbank: If you need my help, if I need you guys help, you guys will help. Joseph Sterbank: Just… I'm sorry, I apologize for that question. Joseph Sterbank: That's all I have to say. I appreciate you guys doing that. Joseph Sterbank: Thank you. Joseph Sterbank: Thanks. Laurel? Joseph Sterbank: I just wanted to
051see if you thought curtains was fantastic. Joseph Sterbank: It was… I just always like to shout out our arts department, because they put so much time and energy, and it takes so much work to put on performance like that, and to include the whole community like that, and we lurking as high school kids and alumni and community members, who's fantastic, and it's just a beautiful thing to see, so… Joseph Sterbank: Sorry about the options. Joseph Sterbank: I would reiterate what both of these folks here have said. I also think it is extremely concerning if security footage from this school is ending up on any social media. This is the first I've heard of it, and I think if any adult online, in this room, anywhere else hears of any such thing, it should go immediately
052to the administration. That is never, ever okay, but we can't do anything about it if we don't know about it. Joseph Sterbank: Anytime somebody brings something to me, which is rare, I bring it to the board, and I do it in public session. Joseph Sterbank: So that's really concerning. We do want to know about it all the time. We do want to hear from community members. Joseph Sterbank: If it's true that the recording started late, I think we should, point out that the reason that we had to have a re-vote is because it required a majority of the board, not a majority of the people present. In my 7 years on the board, we have never had that come up as an issue, because we often vote unanimously. There are two former board members in
053the audience who can also Joseph Sterbank: to speak on their experience… three, I'm sorry, four, four. Joseph Sterbank: I was speaking about people who were on the board while I was on the board. My mistake. Four former board members in the audience. Joseph Sterbank: And you can speak to your experience, whether that has happened before, but we often vote, because we discuss votes ahead of time and kind of get the kinks worked out. If we have any questions, we get them answered ahead of time, so it's not often a contested vote. So that was a new thing for us. I realize it doesn't look great, but that's where that came from. Our lawyer came to us and said that we needed a majority of the board to vote. Joseph Sterbank: That's it for me. Thank
054you all. Happy end of summer. Red, have mixed feelings about end of summer and back to school, all involved, so… but here's a great year. Joseph Sterbank: Amy? Joseph Sterbank: Next stop. Joseph Sterbank: I just want to say I'm, very pleased to see the seats here more filled. Joseph Sterbank: … I really hope that… In the months to come, we'll have to put more chairs out. Joseph Sterbank: Because I think the community involvement is huge in a small community like this. Joseph Sterbank: You know, if we were sitting on the board at… Joseph Sterbank: I don't know, pick a big district, CNS, FM, It's not the same. Joseph Sterbank: So… Seeing more and more people Joseph Sterbank: That are in these seats, or online. Joseph Sterbank: I think that's fantastic, and I want to thank
055you guys for being here. Joseph Sterbank: I would like to make two comments, one about the Zoom. Joseph Sterbank: I don't know if it was misheard. Joseph Sterbank: I have no intent in wanting to shut down this livestream at all. Joseph Sterbank: My only concern is the housing of the recordings. Joseph Sterbank: It's not set in stone, I don't… I don't rule the world, so… it's just my opinion. Joseph Sterbank: The other thing, adding time to public comment, I think that's a very… positive thing to look at. Joseph Sterbank: I think the 2 minutes is kind of… lacking. Joseph Sterbank: Simple. Joseph Sterbank: That's all I got. Joseph Sterbank: The only thing I have, I'd like us to jump to, letter H, informational items. I'd make a motion we do that, because Maxwell has to
056leave in 15 minutes, and he has some stuff he'd like to discuss on his… Joseph Sterbank: Nope. Joseph Sterbank: I'll make that motion. Yeah, we can do that. Joseph Sterbank: They're gonna send… Joseph Sterbank: Oh, it's just a motion to change the order of the agenda? Yeah. That's all? Yeah. Okay. Joseph Sterbank: Mac, do you have anything… You want to go… they can let you go first. Okay, … Joseph Sterbank: This is about… Joseph Sterbank: This is the policy for the backpacks. The draft, it's not… it's not a… just a clarification. There's a proposed policy that's in draft. Joseph Sterbank: or to prohibit backpacks from being carried. As I shared it with the board, I shared it with our incoming, student board members. Abby could not make it tonight. Joseph Sterbank: I said we weren't
057slated for them to start until September, but this was an item that I felt they needed to weigh in on, so I sent it to the student board members. So that's why Maxwell here is a month early. So, and he wanted to speak. It's… the floor is yours. Joseph Sterbank: I'm gonna be speaking on the behalf of Abigail Fryer first. Joseph Sterbank: She says, Good evening, board members. I apologize that I cannot attend to read this myself, but I am otherwise preoccupied. I have many concerns about this new backpack policy. While I understand the reasons provided by Mr. Price in the days prior, I find more cons than pros. Joseph Sterbank: Even though lockers are provided, there are items that students will need for all classes, such as Chromebooks, writing utensils, highlighters, planners, etc. Not
058to mention, they'd be carrying all those things on top of binders for designated classes that they may require. Joseph Sterbank: 4 out of my 5 teachers are requiring 2-inch binders. I, much like many other students, also like carrying a water bottle. Joseph Sterbank: People… people only have two hands. Some people don't even have that. Injuries happen, particularly during sports seasons. So what happens when some… so what happens when somebody's on crutches, or in a self-wheeling wheelchair, and their lockers are on the opposite side of the floor, or the side of the class that they need to get to? Joseph Sterbank: Someone could carry their things for them, but they also would probably like to carry their own things. Joseph Sterbank: Another concern of mine is the length of passing period. Joseph Sterbank: I think the
059kindest way possible that is unreasonable to ask students to walk back and forth to their locker between classes to make it to the next one on time with only 3 minutes to do so. Joseph Sterbank: As someone with a locker on a far end of the school and classes on the other end… on the opposite end, it was nearly impossible to make it to class on time without running. That alone… that alone dissuaded me from using my locker in previous years. Joseph Sterbank: … That's what Abigail had to say. And I second her on her opinion on that. I feel like… Joseph Sterbank: The… the backpack policy is… a bit overboard. … Joseph Sterbank: there is a lot more cons than pros for the backpack policy. And my biggest concern is Joseph Sterbank: It's gonna…
060I feel like it's just gonna add more fuel to the fire with the new phone policy, and students are… students are gonna have trouble with change. Joseph Sterbank: And… Joseph Sterbank: Just throwing this at them all at one time is gonna cause nothing but chaos that is probably not needed. Joseph Sterbank: That's all I have to say about it. Joseph Sterbank: Thank you. Good job. Thank you. Joseph Sterbank: Alrighty, let's see… Back up to… It's informational. Joseph Sterbank: F1, consensus items. Can I have a motion to consent F2 to F… Joseph Sterbank: 17. So moved. Before the motion is made. Joseph Sterbank: Ryan brought up a change in the gulp. Is it already put into this? Joseph Sterbank: It was already changed? Okay, it should have been. Okay. Just want to make sure before we
061just approve the wrong thing. Thank you. Joseph Sterbank: Alright, go ahead, sorry. No, no problem. Joseph Sterbank: I have a motion, do I have a second? Joseph Sterbank: One second, sorry. Okay, no problems. Joseph Sterbank: … Let's see, where is that, for the… You should check that. Joseph Sterbank: Which item is the… Joseph Sterbank: It was in there. There it is, Combinations 5. It's in there? Yes. See it? Yeah. Okay. Are there any other questions, comments? Joseph Sterbank: on these items. Joseph Sterbank: Okay. Joseph Sterbank: Sorry, I, … let me get back into the meeting here. Joseph Sterbank: Accidentally hit the back button. Joseph Sterbank: All those in favor? Joseph Sterbank: Aye. Opposed? Aye. Joseph Sterbank: Abstain. Motion carries 7-0. Joseph Sterbank: G1… I have a motion to approve the change order field directive allowance.
062Joseph Sterbank: Gc-01 for the 2025-26 capital project as presented. So moved. Joseph Sterbank: Second. Joseph Sterbank: Any questions or comments? Yes. Joseph Sterbank: The reason these were pulled out of consensus, … Joseph Sterbank: I have a feeling it's been a number of years since… Joseph Sterbank: Anybody on the board had the… Depth of knowledge. Joseph Sterbank: that goes into this that I currently have. Not to pat my own back. Joseph Sterbank: It's just what I do for a living. Joseph Sterbank: I'm concerned. Joseph Sterbank: very concerned when I see Change orders? Joseph Sterbank: Come through… Are already approved and signed off on, and… Joseph Sterbank: They should not be our responsibility to pay. Joseph Sterbank: Now, it's my understanding. Johnsteven Melfi: Don't worry, Beth. Joseph Sterbank: that all of these have already been signed off?
063Is that correct? Joseph Sterbank: Yes, I did. Okay, so… There's nothing that can be done on these. Joseph Sterbank: But… Joseph Sterbank: There's… the way these are written, number one, and I've gone through this with Rob, I'm just gonna say it for everybody to hear, there's no detail being provided from the architect, the CM, anybody. Joseph Sterbank: And the items that they are… Sending change orders for… Joseph Sterbank: are things that are architect or CM issues. Joseph Sterbank: Not school district issues. Joseph Sterbank: I've been in this business long enough to know this is how you make your slush fund money. Joseph Sterbank: Okay. Joseph Sterbank: None of them are huge dollars. Joseph Sterbank: And I didn't disagree with all. Joseph Sterbank: You know, the boiler valves thing, I have no issue with that. Joseph
064Sterbank: But when it comes to these fire extinguisher cabinets, which is number one, … Joseph Sterbank: The rooftop unit steel, which is number 2. Joseph Sterbank: Corner guards, which is number 3. Joseph Sterbank: And… Those are the only ones I really have an issue with. Joseph Sterbank: Again, like I said, there's nothing to be done since they're already signed off, but I think going forward. Joseph Sterbank: I would like the Facilities Committee to approve these prior to them being signed off on, which can all be done via email. Joseph Sterbank: Does not have to be excessive or expensive? Joseph Sterbank: So, I want to make sure that that's captured and understood why I have an issue with these being said. Joseph Sterbank: That's it. Joseph Sterbank: Okay. Joseph Sterbank: Do you have a recommendation of
065what we should… Joseph Sterbank: All the ones that I disagree with shouldn't be paid. It's too late. They can sign off on it. Joseph Sterbank: So, I'll give you an example. Joseph Sterbank: Let's use the rooftop unit steel at the bus garage. Joseph Sterbank: Apparently, to the plans, it said that new rooftop curbs have to be installed for every event fan being installed. Joseph Sterbank: Makes sense, that's normal. Joseph Sterbank: contractor decided that they only saw 3 on the… or 4, or however many it was on the drawing. Miscount on the top, yeah. And… Joseph Sterbank: Claimed that they're… they're due extra money because there was more than that. Joseph Sterbank: Well, the architect should be saying how many there are. Joseph Sterbank: If they don't, then they should be putting, in parentheses, TYP for
066typical. That puts it onto the contractor to decide how many there are. Joseph Sterbank: If they showed up for the walkthrough, which is a requirement to be able to bid documents, usually. Joseph Sterbank: They would know how many there were. Joseph Sterbank: Why is this? Why are we paying for it? Joseph Sterbank: You know, the fire extinguisher cabinets on the walls at Wheeler? Joseph Sterbank: Same thing. If anybody walked through or even looked at a drawing, you would understand how many fire signature cabinets there are. Why is it now a problem? Joseph Sterbank: Corner guards. Just because the towel guy didn't buy enough of them? Joseph Sterbank: Why is that our problem? Joseph Sterbank: If anybody can figure out an outside corner versus an inside corner. Joseph Sterbank: If you can't, you shouldn't be in
067the business. Joseph Sterbank: So, I just, on those three, … Joseph Sterbank: The first one, I asked our construction manager to provide a little bit more detail, and that is kind of what I was working with with my mentor beforehand as well, of Joseph Sterbank: how should this pathway go, get the information from the CM. So I added it in there, and I didn't want it to be there before you guys had a chance to see it into executive content. So, for the first one, for the fire cabinets, the plans called for pulling out the old fire cabinets and putting them back. Joseph Sterbank: And through conversation, it was, we have brand new tile, we want… Joseph Sterbank: nicer cabinets, so that was what the change was, for the corner guards. They were gonna pack
068the corners with mortar and caulk, and we said that we didn't think that would really suffice, that kids could be bumping into where we wanted to hold that in place. We wanted a better cap on the top instead of some roughed-out material that could potentially fail. So some of those things is… that was a justification they gave. Obviously, you know this far more than I do. Joseph Sterbank: But I just wanted to add that Joseph Sterbank: I get it, the problem is… Joseph Sterbank: an architect, a CM, a contractor, a subcontractor, they're not looking out for the fiscal responsibility of the school district. Joseph Sterbank: We're nothing but a paycheck to them. Joseph Sterbank: And whether it's here, or at my own house, or in the business that I work for. Joseph Sterbank: I look
069at it as my money. Joseph Sterbank: And I'm not gonna go spending money I don't have to spend. If it makes sense, we spend it, you know? Prime example is the valves on the boilers. Joseph Sterbank: Should that have been picked up on a walkthrough? Maybe. I can't say you're not seeing it. Joseph Sterbank: But it makes sense to do it when you're doing the boilers, so I'm not… I wouldn't say that. Joseph Sterbank: In my previous stint as president, we discussed this in a meeting. Joseph Sterbank: And, it was my understanding that Rob and Joel customarily have always taken care of this stuff, and just brought it to the board for approval. Joseph Sterbank: Well, now you have somebody that's in the business that would like to be a little more involved, so I
070think that to speed things along, because I did come back from vacation for this, maybe Mike, Jason, or Rob should sit down together and discuss what they're gonna do to move Joseph Sterbank: forward with this so that they can be a little more involved. Maybe we come up with a new policy or something to bring it back for the next meeting. Joseph Sterbank: to discuss. Joseph Sterbank: Jason, can I speak? Yeah, yeah. Jason brought up some great points, and I've also shared with Jason some of the conversations on other change orders that I've sent out to the whole board, where the architect is doing just what he has to do, and this phase of the project is, $4 million. Joseph Sterbank: And we have about $10 million, or $10,000 worth of change orders, which is
071about .00… it's still taxpayer dollar in my mind, and the checks and balances with our architects and our construction managers and the contractors, we need to have those, because Joseph Sterbank: Jason's point is, they will look at allowances as a way to make extra money, and the allowances aren't necessarily there for that, and they're there for the unforeseen things, not for the things that were dismissed by the architect. Joseph Sterbank: Allowances should be for either unforeseen or something that we as a district decide we don't like and we want to change. Joseph Sterbank: And if that's the case, you know, if we decide all of a sudden that we want to change, all the toilets in Wheeler need to be blue. Joseph Sterbank: Hey, that's work… that's on us to pay for. Joseph Sterbank: But
072that's not the case with these. Just remind me, because I've not been on facilities, but this is the Facilities Committee is who does most of this, right? Joseph Sterbank: Well, we've never had the facilities committee, approve change orders. We've always brought them back to the board, as Eric had said. We would go through the vetting process with the architect and the construction manager. Joseph Sterbank: And they would advise, myself and Joe, or the business administrator, whether they were a reasonable change or not. And if they weren't a reasonable change, they typically didn't make it to us, or they told us about it. Joseph Sterbank: And kept us in the loop in an email communication going on, so… Or, like, yeah, that's… Joseph Sterbank: We're within the process that we were… where I was approaching this
073from in July was the same process that we did in the past. So, going forward, we'll come up with a different process that doesn't hold up construction, doesn't hold up, contractors getting paid, so we can finish on time. Joseph Sterbank: Yeah, I think it'll be great to have Jason's expertise on the board for that. Joseph Sterbank: Can I make a motion we approve 1 through 5 of the already approved stuff? Joseph Sterbank: Yeah, we can do that. We have a motion on number 1 right now, so should we just go through? Joseph Sterbank: If we made the motion on one? To consent it. Joseph Sterbank: I ask for a motion. Joseph Sterbank: Actually, just amend the motion, say, 1 through 5. Joseph Sterbank: Okay. Yeah, we don't have… You only have one content. Joseph Sterbank:
074You can just vote on them individually, quickly. It's okay, we'll just run through it. Can I have a second? Not a good one? Joseph Sterbank: Second? Okay. Joseph Sterbank: Any ques… any questions or comments? Joseph Sterbank: Okay. All those in favor? Aye. Opposed? Joseph Sterbank: Okay. Are you 7-0. Joseph Sterbank: Motion to approve the change order, directive allowance GC-02 for the 2025-26 capital project as presented. So moved. Second. Joseph Sterbank: Questions, comments? Joseph Sterbank: All those in favor? Aye. Opposed? Staying. Joseph Sterbank: Motion carries 7-0. Joseph Sterbank: Motion to approve the change order field directive allowance GC-03 for the 2025-26 capital project as presented. So, MOOC, okay. Joseph Sterbank: Questions, comments? Joseph Sterbank: All those in favor? Aye. Opposed? Joseph Sterbank: obscene… Motion carries 7-0. Joseph Sterbank: Motion to approve the change order field directive
075allowance MC-01 for the 2025-26 change for capital project as presented. So moved. Second. Joseph Sterbank: Questions, comments? Joseph Sterbank: All those in favor? Joseph Sterbank: Aye. Opposed? Joseph Sterbank: staying… Aries 7-0. Joseph Sterbank: Motion to approve the change order SC-01 for the 2025-26 capital project as pretended. So moved. Joseph Sterbank: Questions, comments? Joseph Sterbank: All those in favor? Aye. Opposed? Joseph Sterbank: Abstain. Motion carries 7-0. Joseph Sterbank: Motion to approve the tax rolls and authorized tax levy as presented. Joseph Sterbank: They'll move. Joseph Sterbank: Reckon? Joseph Sterbank: Questions, comments? Joseph Sterbank: All those in favor? Aye. Joseph Sterbank: Opposed? Joseph Sterbank: abstain. Joseph Sterbank: Motion K709. Joseph Sterbank: Motion to issue warrants and approve the collection of school taxes and library taxes for the 2025-26 school year is presented. So moved. Second. Joseph Sterbank: Questions,
076comments? Joseph Sterbank: All those in favor? Aye. Opposed? Joseph Sterbank: Abstain. Motion carries. 7-0. Joseph Sterbank: Upcoming meetings and trainings. Joseph Sterbank: It, … let's see… Board of Education meeting, August 26, 2025, at 6 p.m. at Rockwell. Joseph Sterbank: And Board of Education meeting, September 9th. Joseph Sterbank: With the audit committee, most likely. Joseph Sterbank: before. That works for a lot of committee. Yeah. Probably, what, 5? If the meeting's at 6 and 5, yep. Okay. Is the next meeting at Rockwell? The next meeting is at Rockwell, yes. Okay, that's… yeah. Joseph Sterbank: And the 9th meeting is at, back here at, It's a high school cafeteria. Joseph Sterbank: Go ahead. Joseph Sterbank: consideration… Joseph Sterbank: For executive session, so motion to enter into executive session to discuss the medical, financial, credit, or employment history of
077a particular person, or corporation, or matters. Joseph Sterbank: Leading to the appointment, employment, promotion, demotion, discipline, suspension, dismissal, or removal of a particular person or corporation. So moved. Joseph Sterbank: Second. Joseph Sterbank: All those in favor? Joseph Sterbank: Bye. Bye. Joseph Sterbank: Opposed? Joseph Sterbank: Dane passes 7-0. Joseph Sterbank: Thank you very much. Have a good night.
