001life okay well Welcome to the geometry Council School Board first thing on the agenda is adjustments to the agenda Mr Gibney yes we actually have two um two items this this month the first of which is um adding our return in person instruction plan uh for public comment this is the final time we have to do that uh to satisfy the federal government obviously we don't have any updates we're fully in person and back to normal that would be nice actually that one's gonna be eight e because there's no action on that just for comment and then 8D it will be meal prices um for school year 23-24. that will be an action item and the supporting information uh for that is underneath your agenda okay can I get a motion to make adjustments to
002the agenda we'll make that motion okay motion a second all in favor aye opposed most ambassadors next item public comments regarding agenda items okay you're done next item is recognition yep so uh as this customer we have a few folks uh that retired from us um this past school year and so just want to make mention of those employees the first uh Eva Miller 22 years on an education 20 at GCSE two in other districts Amy Robinson 15 years total Amy Thomas four years at GSC 26 other for a total of 30 and so just like to express my thanks and appreciation to you those retiring staff members thank you very much thank you and then um if it's all right with you um if we could uh maybe do it during this point in
003time to allow Mr Greenlee to kind of provide an end of the year update for our Athletic program so that way you can enjoy the rest of it evening all right we can hear you thank you so comfortable all right first of all if you have questions the one thing that everybody has gone through right now is destruction oh working together and figuring out what we're doing when we're doing it it's difficult to stay up with but it's a team effort you know I can remember I think the turf was recording um because he came to us in 2020 and we started the project in 2021 and it was ready by October of 2020. so this is the second year yes foreign you know a couple of times but by the same children as far
004as this past year I don't think I forgot anybody about something oh God sexual chance conference champs this year the girls soccer for college Champs in their Cascade over there girls track at three regional qualifiers I think so we had a lot of participants in our track program uh boys across country at two boys cross country by the way is changing its format moving forward I said four weeks it will be only three weeks so there's a lot of things doing that right now yeah because I mean were there at least like the Regionals they're shrinking them they're not acquaintance yeah remember then there'll be less like two kids that are 18 set free stuff like that it's making it tougher but uh movement uh then of course girls basketball team um championships just a
005lot going on a lot of kids are participating I think one thing that I have noticed in the last two years is our kids are stronger our kids are faster I think it's Andrew Corrado program I think it really came off especially for those kids who are doing it participating I noticed a difference from year one to year two around basketball players that they were a lot stronger in the second year I think that makes a big difference I think we are catching up in that area not that we've been behind but I think it's getting Progressive that's better I think that's a big thing for us as you know like going to this opportunity so it's pretty much around the kid wants once they get bigger and stronger and faster they have a chance
006so moving forward this year a lot of kids participating there's been probably one of this talk of the conference situation questions for me on that next year will not change regardless uh Equity will not change regardless of sexual original alignment it's all to your reputation but moving forward to sectionals Scott chain with a percentage basis instead of an enrollment basis we are in I I think we'll be class two again but I think I think that with our sophomore class is Big freshman company I think are big as far as members might poisonous right there because you get the 50 percentile if you go 51 percent you're in three days I guess 50 to 51 percent basis percent of Y I think yeah divided into four or keeping four classes they wanted five but some
007of the big schools who are going to complained the most inevitable that's where the commission is from uh we've got a lot of uh noise in this year Well executive committee I don't think voted for his proposal but his proposal was five classes in the top class the mega class with 1000 thousands of years maybe 30. the largest 20 largest 20 of schools and now it's going to be instead of okay okay right right thirty percent 25 around 2A 25 or 3A with twenty percent okay so you could essentially have a team in three eight four eight and a half two students difference you know based on how to break into them yeah Montgomery County schools and Western boom and Frankford moving out of the Sagamore conference believing TriWest uh they have a North Carolina
008to join that conference or right now it's a 16 conference they have expressed interest with the greenhouse on Cascade at San Francisco they want uh I didn't go to the meeting at school here with those five athletic records six athletic records in Cascade was there uh just for informational purposes just to listen to them this is what we're doing are you interested information so it's kind of a they said in office they would like to kind of help my biggest question to them was if we don't say yes right away because they're not going to be late I don't know what they're thinking but my personal opinion is love start with the 16 conference see how that thing's working out and it's going well you know I know some of our coaches are interested competition
009so that's that's kind of a Chad Roger and I have talked a little bit yeah they're still there's still a long way to go that's kind of overall how did concessions go yeah yeah I thought well I and uh what I what I wanted football games and we've talked about this with them but I haven't sat down I'll sit down and the junior class concession stand and I went for the truck their little trailer on the visitor's side because you lose a lot of sales people don't want to walk over and I expected that thank you Valley um if they want to do that but did they do anything in the spring or just basketball did it and how did that go I mean it seems like there's usually not quite enough people upstairs but
010I think the people enjoyed it there's a difference in being able to buy that whatever so you know I I Heard lots of comments and they were all good yeah I I thought it was good and uh right down the spring that will follow us with you know Advance every night on Fridays and things like that and basketball's big too across also four or five um the only complaint I ever heard was that it just took a while but that must mean it's good enough people are standing in line waiting for it well it did but we tried to fix that a couple times one was lady retired in the middle of the year and so she didn't want the successes when you started using both organized and you know my thought too is popcorn
011you shouldn't have to wait on the maps it got better but I think I think some of that too is making sure you have enough people to deal with it and how how did that compare to all right the year before when you did have to do it I didn't I don't really remember I mean a lot of times before we were busy running out for Twitter products and kids and that kind of way so we didn't get much so this is how for me for the Athletics yeah well good yeah good job I would like to say and that's been very helpful information maybe the next board meeting we could talk about whether or not we want to consider finding ways to get students in uh I think it's just a discussion having before
012we start thinking about selling yeah well here's what I will say about that we've talked about this before but I was on the board with students but I've lived on bucket changed that because uh especially football games and and some basketball games free babysitter drop your kids off you may or may not come back again then you had to have people there to try to get the kids off the field out of mac and how they would not just turn eight-year-old kids lose so it became a a real big hassle and that really dropped off yeah I think we can make a tour like high school kids to come for free and middle school kids can get it free but they have to be there with a parent or guardian of some sort but I
013don't know what it used to be like back in Don's days as far as how many people are in The Stance but I'd sure like to see more students just something for us to think about well the one thing I always do that the more I hear more about the schools that allow grandparents you know above a certain age and I hear more of that talk than I do one of my kids asked me to get in yeah years there's a lot of people I learned everybody it really is amazing yeah I know I hear that too yeah yeah it's just amazing and then you have a boy that first video you've never seen in the game never seen them in a game before yeah we're going to offend a lot of people too how
014old are you yeah exactly so I inherited um you have new football coaches new basketball coaches he's feeling pretty good about all that I think so uh you know time will tell on that I think that you know there's there's things going on this summer I feel like for the most part yeah once you work with people day to day five times a day you know every day of the week you get to know what they're all about you know as far as how we deal with kids and how they organize they're willingness to inform if necessary yeah I think so I think that you know the day of when there's a head coach opening very beautiful wine at the 15 solid candidates is over you know back in Ryan when I started out coaching
015it was being legal for a middle school job we had an interview for it and you were lucky to get it now sometimes it's just changed so much but the yearly yearly the force would give to people here sometimes go into the mobile and work with them sounds good well I appreciate the time thank you yeah thank you you're welcome to hang around but you don't have to at the same time foreign next item is an approval request for the consent agenda which consists to the meeting minutes of the regular meeting of May 22nd 2023 the allowance of claims the financial report Personnel reports part one and two they're on the website and the door Mrs Roman yes okay per usual we've got a couple of payrolls in the month of May first payroll is

017prepays for for May no okay so total prepays then for the month of May was 800 692.94. and then you've got a list of claims dated today June 26th um we've got some renewal subscription renewals um we had food services in here let's see what other big ones that we have um oh we had um the deafx training for the Fab Lab at the high school so there was a few Big Ticket items this month on regular claims but total claims was four hundred eleven thousand two thirty Three Sixty did anyone have any questions about any of the claims for June okay we'll go ahead and move on then to the fund report um the uh balance and education fund the end of May 2023 was 3 million to eleven seven thirty six ninety two
018and then balance and operations was 326 60.47 if you want to head to the very last page which is numbered number five total on all funds 7 million to seventy eight four fifty eight thirteen then next in your package you're going to see the depository statement balance with fun to bank um you can see that we are in Balance our banks to fund did anyone have any questions about that okay then we've got the fund transfer report again um you know most of your big ticket items here are just going to be the transfers that I need to do from One bank to the next and then of course you've got education to Ops we had unreimbursed textbook transfer that we were able to make for this last month and then of course school lunch
019[Music] second we've got expenditures her bond 20 uh 21 and bond 2022 balance forward um through uh April 30th 2023 our uh total expenditures was 18 million 806 690 28 and then we've got a list of expenditures for May of 2023 so our total to the end of May 2023 expenditures at a bond 2021 is 20 million 866 242.66 and then Bond 2022 we've got total expenditures listed there at the top through April um of 2023 was 1 million seven thirty one three Twenty Eight oh nine we've got three um uh expenditures listed there for total expenditures the end of May 2023 of 2 million 843 600.79 and that's all I have I'd like to submit for approval pending any questions okay like make a motion for me okay I have a motion and a
020second to approve the consent agenda in the questions or discussion discussion okay you're not all in favor all right all opposed motion passes next is reports and we have an assistant superintendent yeah so just briefly obviously misses the McPherson isn't here but I wanted to just point out that she did provide you an update on three items in your in your board packet first being the Chattanooga Institute for team teachers once again went down there and experience what it's like to work in a Fab Lab and they're going to continue that work back here in the classrooms at the middle school and obviously getting our high school Fab Lab off and running so it was a really great experience there'll be some additional training with the Consultants here uh she provided an update about um
021our assessments so the big takeaway there is we are shifting away from nwva to utilize the i-Ready assessment we feel like it's going to better prepare or provide us better data and better prepares for the Assessments in Indiana and then the final item is we're restructuring our Title One program and so um years past we've served only K to two and just with the literacy initiative and I read into some of the challenges of TZ we're gonna and just you know since the reading foundations continue on third grade we're gonna uh have a staff member there part-time so we're going to offer some title services and third grade at TV as well just to kind of help fill the gaps for some of our readers that are still learning how to read and hopefully that
022will again help look those readers up and take them to where they they need to be so those were three items that she had for her assistant superintendents report and then I just have a couple very brief brief ones obviously the biggest is working to fill any open positions that we have we don't have a ton of vacancies at the moment but you know as the summer goes on you always lose someone unexpectedly and have to fill the spot so working with the principals to fill out any remaining vacancies that we have and obviously that extends Beyond just teaching positions that's that's all of the classified positions too and then we'll be opening online registration on July 10th for families to register for uh the 23-24 school year so just a couple of items that
023we have there okay great thanks next item on the agenda is old business we have no old business so that brings us to new business first is an approval request for a copier lease with Braden Business Services yeah so uh we're just finishing up uh at least with uh with Rika on all of our copiers throughout the district and they're at the end of life and it's time to time to replace those or we spend a lot of time meeting with uh interested um bidders and he has brought forth Braden Business Systems and Kyocera copiers they were the least expensive and also offered quality machines and so we'd like to move forward with a new four-year it's four years five year lease with Braden with the option for a one dollar buyout at the end
024and they we are told that they actually have equipment in hand whereas some of the other bidders did not and so we would be my recommendation with the board of brief disagreement okay sounds good thank you for your work yeah thank you very much I know that's a very tedious process to dig through these types of contracts so okay can I get a motion okay I have a motion a second all in favor aye all opposed motion to pass is to declare items of no value yep so we just have some miscellaneous uh items throughout the district um they're under the they're under the threshold um but we'd like to declare them at no value and we'd like to work on accepting some sealed sealed bids or to sell some of the equipment basically things
025that come to mind we have some old lays and table saws and just miscellaneous tools from our wood shop that are no longer no longer needed and we want to suppose of those appropriately and then we have just some miscellaneous Furniture as well and so I just wanted to bring that bring that forward and so that we can either accept uh sealed beds we can donate it um uh certainly we've gotten rid of some because it's been damaged and redisposed of it so so if you do like a sealed bid on some stuff like this how do you do you have to advertise that how do you how do you advertise it yeah I would uh we would if we're going to accept sealed beds we're going to take your time to advertise in the
026paper put a put a list on our website right so anyone interested in that equipment um you know something interesting I don't expect that it'll bring a lot of money but if somebody can get use of it I would think traditionally the school is moving it on it's been used yeah right but you just want to make sure everyone has an opportunity absolutely okay can I get a motion to declare these items no value okay I have a motion this second all in favor all opposed motion passes next on the agenda is an approval request to approve some donations first being Jack Dalton the Greencastle High School Champions together in the amount of fifteen hundred dollars and the second being snap mobile mobile and the uh or to the Greencastle High School track in the
027amount of 3100 36.40 mobile I went back and I was like yeah I'm just glad you didn't say three million I know well forty cents you were really expecting me to mess up the mobile [Laughter] thank you for the donations yes okay all in favor okay I'll opposed motion pass next on the agenda is an approval request for meal prices for the 2023-2024 square yep so we've worked uh with Chartwells and um worked using the analysis that the state provides and um we're recommending essentially a 10 cent increase in the cost of meals so Elementary price uh next year would be 310 versus three that it was this year for elementary students wait yes and uh it was 310 this year for secondary students and the recommendation is 320. for secondary students next year and
028so it would be my recommendation that board approve those updated meal prices considering the price of nearly 10 seconds yeah yeah and there was also pricing sheets submitted for your approval as well so we would be approving those things I make the motion we accept the increases in the lunch and I'll second we have a motion any second all in favor when opposed proposed passes last thing on the agenda is a a public to publicize or to uh read the return to yeah would that provide an update on the return in-person instruction plan and allow public comment um obviously there are no changes being proposed that we've been in person that's you know we're going to continue we just have to do that to meet the Federal guidelines and this will be the final time
029to have to do that foreign okay last item is other business we have any other business we've got the tour for high school today before the meeting and it's coming along very nicely um you're welcome looks better every time we go okay final thing on the agenda is adjournment can I get a motion call second I have a motion in a second all in favor aye all opposed thank you all for everyone thank you uh foreign
