013have a motion and a second to approve the consent agenda any questions or discussion hearing none all in favor all opposed promotional passes next item on the agenda is reports first of all assistant superintendent dr french yes this evening we would like to provide you with an update from our counseling team and so they're going to present tonight so do we have an order or mrs ward would you like to start for winfred so some of the initiatives that are going on at redpath i got an idea on pinterest a few years ago and so we had refrigerator doors donated um and so they are mounted on the wall and the office and mrs crone's husband he does metal work and so yeah so you can see the sign he cut out there so it's
014a way for us to recognize student work using a mary allison grant last spring we made the volcano room where kids can go when they have a lot of big emotions so we put wall padding on the walls and we have pool noodles that the kids can hit the walls with when they're upset and then um next actually in december 4th i get to go pick up dory who will be our therapy dog at red path so we're all very excited about that we have a partnership with first baptist and we have kids hope so that has brought in some community mentors to work with our students once a week they meet with them during lunch and recess and then they also provide um 60 snack bags for our backpack program so that those go
015home with kids um for the weekend so that they have food over the weekend we've also had some great um success with the second step curriculum that we started this year and we've had positive feedback from students and teachers so and the kids are definitely making connections in the classroom as well miss handy would you like to present for tz i just wanted to give you a couple of updates um about tv um uh in the spring we talked to you about second steps and how we were rolling that out k8 so i wanted to give you a little bit of what students are learning we just finished our first unit at tz and that was all about goal setting and one of the great parts that they learn about in our lessons is that
016when we have goals we're going to encounter roadblocks right and so we processed how do we overcome those roadblocks is it by asking for help is it reframing our thoughts so that we're not going to give up and so those lessons have been really successful and we also did all of our safety lessons so our required lessons for abuse prevention and we're actually expanding our use of our safety rules instead of just using them for unsafe situations regarding abuse we're actually using them in the building so did you spot a red flag was a student running in the hallway or did you see an adult that you don't recognize how they're checked into the office and so our students are really owning safety in our building and they're feeling empowered and so that's been really
017amazing to see as well and the last update that i wanted to give you was that we are continuing the paddy pack program so that's the weekend food program at tz and we've had some amazing community donors so we are able to fill 50 packs of food a week that go to families and that is up over 15 bags from last year so we're really thankful for the community involvement thank you miss bundy was hiding back there thank you hi there um to piggyback on what ms handy was talking about with our safety rules the first safety rule is to know what's up and so with our kiddos their address their phone numbers um parent guardian name and when you go into the classrooms now years ago 24 years ago when i taught kindergarten um
018they had to know that that was part of the report card and you just check it off well that's gone and so you go into the classrooms and do you know your address do you know your phone number and oh my goodness they do not and so i got a hold of mcdonald's and i said could you donate something for our kiddos who would know their address my number and mr jadel wonderful man absolutely so he brought some over so i went through and all the kiddos if they knew they had my phone number checked it off sent it in the mail so that they would get a piece of mail so that was probably 76 of our kids so far have gotten that so that's always fun that was a great thing to do
019with a personalized note that i sent them also our grant that you approved last month we are working hard on getting our sensory boxes replenished from years ago i believe five years ago so we're replenishing those and i think that's it for now we started that over there and i've had good feedback as well so thank you very much thank you thank you thanks for joining us so my name is jessica brianas i'm the director of guidance here at the middle school last year i actually got our 21st century scholars application added to our enrollment form so when families apply it goes through every single family so far we have 24 students already enrolled in the program i have 28 additional families who said yes that they were interested in applying there are about 120
020families who i did not get an answer from but then the flip side of that is i had well over 100 families that said no so what that does is it greatly decreases the number of families that i will then be hunting down to see if they're interested in applying i have completed the state required training on child abuse prevention for our sixth seventh and eighth grade students this consists consists of two lessons from the teen safety matters program which is from the monique burr foundation i applied for and received four grants from the mary allison foundation the first was to supply items for our tiger ticket store the second was to supply additional items for our sensory room the test actually helped apply to start last year the third was to supply feminine products
021for all of our girls bathrooms for the entire year and the final was to supply alternative seating or wiggle seats for one of our resource classrooms i also planned college go week each day teachers shared parts of their college experience what was college like what did you enjoy why did you choose what you chose those kind of questions and during lunches students watched college tours lastly last year miss handy and i saw students 655 times as of today as a sole counselor in the building i have had 200 students request to see me and have seen students 543 times good evening everybody so first of all i think that all of us do so much more than we have time to share with you guys and if at any time people want to talk to
022us about the things that we do just let us know and we will cover whatever it is that you want us to cover all things school counseling academic college and career readiness the prepping the stuff that we do at the high school and then social emotional stuff that we focus on also so the reason i say that is i don't have um 15 to 20 minutes to discuss all of the things that we are doing i will i do want to say right now because i would forget rose stevens also is the other counselor she is one of the things i did not mention we're doing 21st century scholars working with the edge edge 21 and so she basically runs that at the high school and so i wanted to make sure that i mentioned
023that and that's to help everybody that is a 21st century scholar hopefully earn that honor when they graduate so that they can go get full tuition paid for in indiana some of the things that i'm going to go over again i'll probably be kind of brief about these things if anybody wants more details about it please just let me know and we will talk to you guys about anything that you want one of the main focuses all encompassing academic academic success career planning and then social emotional stuff would be graduation pathways which is a huge change for graduating in the state of indiana and a lot of our time and effort is focused on understanding the legislation behind that understanding what it means for a student to go through each different pathway and if i
024were to get into each different pathway everybody would probably be kind of confused and so i won't but just know there's there's a lot of different ways for students to graduate and because that's changing curriculum at the high school is changing how we interact with students and families and the things that they are able to do at the high school level and beyond is also changing and so a lot of our time is spent in a little bit of a different way as the counseling team and the office working with administrators and trying to fully understand exactly what the state is deciding to do with how we want to prepare our students for life beyond high school whether that is college career or maybe joining the military in some fashion and so really quickly some
025of the daily happenings that high school counselors that we are doing currently and we will be doing in the future we've become test coordinators which is kind of interesting so we are responsible for istep ilearn s-a-t-a-c-t p-s-a-t and also the asvab and planning and preparing and getting all of the students that need to take each one of those exams ready to go and planning a testing day organizing that at the high school and so that's been a huge undertaking for us but again they're all important tests and thankfully this is the last round of istep and we will be moving to the sat which is part of the graduation pathways that i discussed earlier we'll be giving that to all juniors in the spring we do s-a-t p-s-a-t and a-c-t testing throughout the day two
026times a year psat one time a year and we actually have a national merit scholarship semifinals from our school so that was that's pretty cool we do student meetings college prep career prep prep scheduling and academic planning 504 meetings iep meetings attendance helping with proper placement academically and educational setting for students working with families working with students working with staff when appropriate collaborating with students and staff and families when appropriate regarding conflict crisis resolution and we do the best we can to meet needs and i think this is something that all of us benefit from our partnership with cummins and having people that are a little more prepared and have more expertise in helping with mental health because ultimately mental health is paramount if a student has so many things going on that they can't
027be educated in the classroom we need to work to help them so that when they're in the classroom they're productive making progress and doing well and so again having inside our buildings cummins and helping with funding with cummins because the private insurance and medicaid that stuff gets kind of complicated but any type of funding that we get to help with cummins and helping students get the help that they need through cummins if they don't qualify with the medicaid is also really beneficial for us and then outside resources of course that's a family decision but we provide those references for people and then last few things that we also do just throughout the day diversity club we help with eligibility for athletes we do scheduling and curriculum mapping all of that at the high school we're
028actually getting prepped for scheduling in december in february helping with enrollment and withdrawals and anything else that made come across our plans thank you thank you very much and i just wanted to mention too just like our teachers can continuously have different mandates from the state our counselors are no different so there's continually initiatives that they're being pushed out and they do a great job and take on so much more responsibility especially with the mental health needs of all of our students increasing at younger and younger ages not having the resources to be able to support them really appreciate their creativity and their collaborativeness we have yeah thank you very much thank you thank you next item is the super distribution yeah so just a couple of quick items here before um have krm share
029a share brief update but just like kind of give some shout outs our tk classroom at redpath presented their turkey poems and did an outstanding job presenting in front of their peers we had our guys and dolls musical which i saw on friday night and nothing short of spectacular and students and staff did a fabulous job and the fine arts continue to to shine brightly at greencastle we're bidding out our rid path and deer meadow our hvac controls so we're accepting bids for that and we're going to be updating those um items those are the last two buildings and we're using some of our esser funds to take care of that so that's much needed and then finally we'll be receiving our tag grant so that's our teacher appreciation grant distribution on december 3rd and
030we receive just over 66 000 that we'll be distributing to highly effective and effective teachers here sometime before christmas so we'll get a nice little uh chunk of change there for in time for the holiday season so just a few things that i wanted to share and then i have mike montgomery here from krm that's going to briefly update us on how we're moving forwards with the building project because our timelines are going to going to ramp up here and i'll turn over mike good evening when mr gibney asks that we give a update tonight the question was what new information might be helpful and you've seen all the drawings and so we thought we'd just kind of list where we're at you know just summarize as much as possible we started this process in
031april so we've been involved in an eight-month design process with the with the staff from greencastle schools and creamer companies and it's been great at every step of the way it's been a great team where there's been a weakness somebody's filled in all the good things that happened and on top of that you got a football stadium delivered a lot faster than you might normally expect so really everything's been going really well so on december 6th 350 sheets of drawings and many many pages of specifications are planned to be issued to competitive bids general contractors we thought we'd just run through tonight you know just a highlight of the things that are included in this so as board members you got that right top of mind if somebody from the community would ask you or
032if you've got any questions now would be a great time to to bring them up so on the left-hand side is uh the work is to be included now and it's basically the mackinawy center remodel space the connector link between the macanally center and the high school a lot of high school remodeling including new science rooms the renovation science rooms which i managed to emit from this list a renovated kitchen and expanded improved seating in the high school a reorganization of the west hall spaces a couple of these are alternates which i'll talk about in just a minute here to control pricing and then of course the new off-site softball in baseball so those are the major components that are going out to bid on december 6th and then just as a reminder just as
033soon as those plans go out to bid the intention is to finish and do the second phase of design work so they though so that can go out to bid a little bit later in 2022 and you can see on the right hand side that includes the middle school renovation and some of the highlights of those are the classrooms and the secure entry and office areas at the primary schools one of the highlights is tazongas elementary humidity control and if you remember on that one we had some study work done and some analysis so we think we have a solution ready to start in the design of that and then the high school parking lot upgrades and to just go back and kind of touch a little bit on each of these at the mcinally
034center probably the the single biggest highlight is the renovation of the the locker rooms on the lower level that's where most of those dollars are going to be spent but up on the upper level those uh there's uh the kind of concourse area there'll be a continuation of the new uh connector link a new new flooring new concession space and uh some new ceiling work and lighting so it'll kind of be a refresh and upgrade and also if you remember the doors as you walk the be the northeast corner doors you'll be taken off the hinges so you walk in you'll walk right into that great gym that you guys have the connector link a few highlights of what's in that project this is a reminder it's obviously a walkway a connecting walkway between the
035high school and the mackinaw it's a new auxiliary gym along with that and then in the lower level is a a weight room and a practice wrestling area and maybe something we didn't mention real clearly last time was uh there's an existing area space there on the east side when the low one-story portions will be remodeled into pe uh locker rooms there'll be a new elevator so both floors of uh mackinaw will now be ada fully ada accessible and uh just a highlight uh we have been talking quite a bit with the the staff and the project team about phasing the construction because you have to remain in school you have a primary function here but and it's we think uh everybody has contributed a lot and that's been worked out and then in the
036high school renovation project as i mentioned it's a big science renovation basically a gut of that entire area and rebuilding including the new uh greenhouse the greenhouse will be replaced the largest single renovation beyond the science areas is in the front entry area where the media center will be changed into three classrooms you know the media center will be flipped across the hall bumped out into the uh uh um common uh courtyard area and and rebuilt it'll be a brand new media center kind of an innovation space with lots of technology and then they'll be where the two classrooms are as you just as you walk in the front door at the high school will be taken out and turned into a student collaboration area so a really new look right there that we hope
037students are really attracted to and give a good fresh space all the classrooms where we see the new ceiling tile painted walls all new flooring there is some technology upgrades involving the cabling between the projectors and the uh and the plug-ins for the projectors all the door hardware is going to be changed it'll be lever style there's a lot of not a lot but there are some ada issues it'll be taken care of going into the classrooms and some of the doors that swing out are kind of head bangers those will be changed so it's a provide a higher level of safety and then the restroom finishes will be upgraded along with this for the kitchen area the way it's kind of shaken out is the kitchen remains where it's at but it'll be new
038equipment in the kitchen and uh the servery area which if you remember how it is now you walk in it's really crowded just kind of a linear line it's going to be changed to more of a grab and go where the students will walk up to different stations and have their selection and more contemporary and better and healthier food choices for the for the students and also i'll have more seating that's uh it's too tight right now and it'll increase the seating by about 40 percent um and then the west area of the lower level of the high school back where kind of the shop class is and there's some of those spaces that aren't particularly well used and kind of was added kind of a good idea to do is to reorganize those and
039make them very usable spaces three classrooms and maybe a little bit less wasted space back in that area also some of the coral room finishes are going to be upgraded and then finally the off-site baseball as you remember it's one new baseball one in softball and just the right orientation the concessions building with the ticket booth walkers and one of the technology components is there's going to be a fiber optic connection from your transportation building out to the ticket sales office and then up to the uh the press boxes are on top of each one so you'll be able to stream events and sell tickets and people will be able to reserve them bleachers new parking the lights from the existing two state uh fields are being reused they're in pretty good shape and they're
040structurally very strong and if anyone asks you about the detention area and there was some debate whether it'd be wet bottom or dry bottom there's going to be a dry bottom detention area no ponding of water and there will be irrigation for these fields and so i'll just stop there for a second and see what questions you might have if i didn't mention something or sparked an idea of something you're curious about you can answer any of those well on the right hand side is a little bit more detail on the intended bidding and awards schedule you can see december 6th is the date that the plans will go to the printer and uh these days almost everybody downloads the construction documents for bidding if you're a contractor you can go to eastern engineering website
041and at no charge to them they'll be able to download the plans and specs and we found it to be a very free and open accessible process december 21st will be a pre-bid meeting at the high school with contractors uh january 13th is kind of a big day that's the day that the bids are to be opened and read aloud and that'll give the team about a week to review them discuss them do do reference checks all those types of things and then if everything falls into place on january your regular january 24th board meeting we hope to have a recommendation for bid award for the for the school board and uh kind of the final detail is that these plans and specifications are being issued in two groups big group a is essentially the
042baseball in the softball field group big group b is everything at the high school in mackinac center and if i'm a contractor i can bid on either or i can put in a combination bid for both and maybe hopefully have some economy of scale there that might might save you still some money so hopefully everything runs smoothly tomorrow with mr gibbety we are reviewing the budget and if we you're all aware price has not been our friend lately labor and things like that but we've been working through it with our consultants and we think we have a plan that you know the worst case happens we got a plan if the best case happens we have a better plan so i i i think everybody on our team has been working out pretty hard and
043we got a good plan so it says here february uh that the contractors can start ordering their materials organized construction so does that happen in february what is your assumption of start up construction for like um that'll depend a little bit on on the contractor and weather um but uh there we do have we have worked with the schools and kramer companies on a phasing plan some they'll order material that's always the first thing to do get those materials on the way but the first steps that we ask are asking to do there's a new drive on the west side because we're closing in between so we'll have to do that first uh along with that the second thing is um it would actually start some demolition on the south side of the mackinac excuse
044me south side existing gym they need to do some of that demolition in order to reroute the water line if you remember there is a city 12-inch water line running between those buildings that can't be taken out of service so there's some phasing there so that new west drive and the water line would be relocated and then right about that same time there will be a temporary enclosure built so students can go between the two buildings and also on top of that will be a pathway to for your existing fiber optic that goes between the buildings so your communication continues that way and once they get that temporary walkway constructed their west drive and the water line then they can start digging and at that point the space between the high school parking lot and
045the middle school parking lot becomes the contractors and we could explain more of that in a diagram better but that way you have a safety division between between the workers and the students thank you mike thank you okay next item is old business there is no old business so that brings us to new business the first thing under new business is an approval request for some compensation adjustments yeah yeah so the goal was obviously to settle our cpa and our contract agreement with our teachers first and now it's time to handle the rest of our employee groups so in your board packets was a proposal to provide a 4 000 increase for our assistant superintendent our director of special education our principals our assistant principals and our athletic director a four percent increase for our
046uh classified salaried employees a 50 cent an hour increase for our classified our hourly classified employees excuse me and a 10 per day increase for our bus drivers in addition to making some adjustments to wages for our substitute teachers and including the addition of adding a new classification for a retired greencastle community school corporation corporation teacher to earn 100 a day to sub for us just because they're familiar with their buildings they have a lot of expertise and so hopefully that can be something to help minimize the shortage and help keep some of those people involved in our schools so it's my recommendation that the board approved the compensation adjustments as presented i really like the idea of adding a retired school controller i make a motion to accept i will second that okay we
047have a motion in a second um if i have any other questions discussion it looks good okay all in favor all right well opposed motion passes i'm sorry i i sure brought this up during discussions i assume we do like a comparison with other county schools in our area for bus drivers and custodians just to make sure we're in line yeah we always do that to the best ability with all the employee groups they're not always 100 identical it just depends on where people already are and based on current financial situation as well but yeah that's something that um the neighboring superintendents and superintendents sharing discussed all the time okay next item is an approval request for the 2021-2022 bus purchases yep so we built into the 2022 budget purchase of another mcallister 81 passenger
048bus at a cost of 148 961 and then also a smaller 14 passenger activity bus at a cost of sixty 66 dollars so this is built into um our budget for and um it's my recommendation that the board approved the ordering of these buses so they can get built and hopefully be ready in time for the start of next school year or shortly after the start of the school year depending upon the chip shortage i got a random question the small buses you don't have to have a cd on the track doesn't that no the white buses you don't have to have cdl and so a lot of our athletic teams and clubs are able to drive themselves which eliminates one of the challenges of finding someone with a cdl right but we are recruiting
