001I'd like to call the board of um school trustees um meeting to order for September 23rd, 2025. Everyone stand for the pledge of allegiance and a moment of silence. I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Roll call. >> Here we go. >> Uh, Valki >> here. >> Bane >> here. >> Pascal >> Here. Velisa >> here. You have a quorum. >> Allations. >> I'm sorry. Yes. Undercommendations tonight. We have Lincoln and Jane Paul Elementary for being STEM certified schools. Mr. Miko, did you want to say anything? You want to turn it over? >> Please. Can I Can I say something? >> Certainly. Certainly. >> I'm going to stand. Is it okay
002to stand? >> You can walk around if you'd like. You can do a dance if you want. >> I'm not going to do that. Don't laugh at me. J. >> Just kidding. So, um, three years ago, three years ago, four years ago, I'm sorry. No. >> Three. Three years ago, we did an audit of all of our schools just to kind of see where we are from an outside perspective. Um, focusing on academics. One of the things that we were um we could get better at, I'll say that is STEM in K through 5. So, two years ago, two school years, this is your third year, right? >> So, two school years ago, >> Alicia was hired as the STEM coordinator for our district. It was basically a five-year plan to be STEM certified K5.
003Well, after her first year, she's a force of nature. Um, after her first year, with the help of Frank and Becky, um, the work was put in place the foundation for K2, both Jane Ball and Lincoln, and then she moved over to Red Cedars for third grade. This year, in her third year, um, she's working with fourth and fifth. So, I'm happy to announce and Frank, Becky, Alicia, can you come on? Um, we are STEM certified in both Lincoln and Jane Ball and through STEM.org, which I have Jane B. Here's a Lincoln. We already have this in here in case I saw it, but you can have this tickets. There you go. Congratulations. Congratulations. >> Thank you. >> Good job. >> Thank you. >> Congratulations. >> So after this year, we should be STEM certified
004in all of our elementaryaries K5 two years ahead of the original strategic plan of our five years because of actually Alicia and uh Frank, Becky, and also do my stuff. >> I just want to commend Alicia because her energy level compels other people to get involved. How many teachers have gotten certified [Music] >> like through the state or just I think there was 12 teachers that actually got STEM certified adding it to their license through our district which is more than >> because of Alicia. You need to take credit. I I will say this. I feel like I'm a high energy person and when I met with Alicia meet with her, I I've got to take a couple breaths because there's a lot happening there. But I think because of that is why she's been
005able to push through and and move the needle so well and it's been great for our kids in our buildings. >> Get administrators on an airplane. >> That's coming next. >> Wait till that November 6th. Be on the lookout. STEM is going to take new flight what did we say flight is taking flight STEM takes flight in handover schools >> school >> yes it will be exciting >> we'll share that >> yeah we'll share all that with them >> will there be >> you're in the middle >> we're going to do inverted top gun >> it's not the toilet >> hold them both up No, thank you. >> Oh my gosh, you guys are terrible. See what I have? >> All right. Three, two, one. >> Perfect. Thanks, guys. >> Thank you, guys. Thank you
006so much. [Applause] [Music] >> Okay, we have nobody signed up for comments on discussion relative to items on the agenda. So, approval of the agenda. I'll make a motion to approve the agenda. Anybody want a second? >> I'll second. >> Comments or discussion? Roll call. >> Balki. >> Yes. >> Verdan. >> Yes. >> Haskell? >> Yes. >> Kuzma? >> Yes. Velisa? >> Yes. >> The board is over 50. >> Thank you. >> Under reports tonight, uh, Mr. MCO is going to give an update on all of the testing and accomplishments in the district, student achievement data, and he's given you a PowerPoint in front of you. >> So, I know I got on data, but I'll make this brief. Um, this is a snapshot of student data for the 2425 school year. Um these are
007tasks that are required by the IDOE um that we take at all of our elementaryaries. Um so I'll start with I read. So I I read is an assessment in second grade. It started you can opt in two years ago. Um the first year we did it I think uh Jane Bo and Lincoln combined we were right around 65% of our kids passing roughly. Um, last year it was required for all schools in Indiana for second graders to take the high read. We are at 75% passing. The state average, and I always use the state average to compare so you can kind of get an idea. The state average in second grade was 48% passing. So I I think um we're doing a really good job. They're doing a really good job in the buildings.
008If you look at on track and passing, 83% of our kids hit that mark, which means that the ontrack kids through uh just tier one um teaching in the classroom without remediation um passed last school year. So that allows um red cedars to focus on those incoming 17% of the kids which is way below the state average and start interventions right from the beginning in August which Gretchen has already in place. So um the last year at Red Cedars so all the kids that didn't pass previously all third graders have to take it. Last year was the first year. If you don't pass and you don't have a good cause exemption, you have to repeat third grade. So a after all said and done, we had 93.4% of our kids pass. The the goal throughout
009the state is 95%. I think we were three three students short, I think. Um but we're going to get there this year. So uh they did a great job. We had no students who were gen ed without a good cause exemption that were forced to be retained which is uh awesome. Always looking for continuous improvement. We're doing really well but we can always get better. So we're using a dibbles benchmark which we added third grade. Basically, it's just an a test so we can see how our kids are doing on phonics and uh comprehension and then provide uh interventions accordingly. I think it's also uh worth saying that in all of our buildings uh K5 we also have interventions and enrichment time where all kids get what they need based on their ability which is
010really nice. That doesn't happen in every district. >> Mr. What happens when we hit 95? Oh yes. Uh we go to we the state is it the state house? So they invite all of the schools that hit the 95% benchmark. The principles assistant superintendent hopefully superintendent go down and uh be honored and recognized for uh job well done. So hopefully we we take that trip that we take that trip. >> We'll fly you. Any questions with Ivory? Uh, the next required test in Indiana is iLearn. Uh, I learn's a little more diff it's a lot more difficult to be honest with you. Um, I I'm not going to, you know, read you, you can see, and you have a a handout in front of you. Um, but what I would like to bring your attention
011uh to is again based on the state average. This is just a snapshot of last year's uh results. Um, but I think now we should be above the state average. We have good kids. We have a good community. We have parents who value education and they they're very supportive. Um, but if you look in uh math 3 through five, we have two grade levels that were 22% or more above state average, which I think is that's pretty significant. That's really doing a great job. And fourth grade uh is still, you know, almost 15% above the state average. Um, in ELA, we dip a little bit, but ELA is a little more difficult than math for whatever reason, uh, across the state. You can see it's it's even lower in third grade by 11 percentage points,
012but we're still 10% points uh 10 percentage points above in third and fifth and um five uh percentage points in fourth grade. And then what they also look at is combined. So, which kids are um proficient in both math and ELA? And again, we're over 14 percentage points above the state average of two two grades and over 61. So, again, good, but the idea is continually getting better. So, one of the things that we did last year was align curriculum maps to uh iLearn checkpoint. So, the first time in my career, we are actually giving our kids an assessment during the course of the year that aligns with the I learn at the end of the year that we could use to check where are our students and if they're not at grade level, we
013can um remediate them to help them grow. Never had that before last year as a pilot. Um, another thing that we're doing is we're partnering with Khan Academy. We have a really good relationship with them. Um we are using that and our teachers are using it really well um to provide extra help in math to spiral math to practice math more um uh language arts and also there's a writing coach where we'll provide immediate feedback for our kids as they write. Uh the last thing we've done is we're implementing witten wisdom which I brought to all of you at the end of last year. I believe wit and wisdom um forces students to critically think and write a lot more for other than other curriculums which both of those things are really difficult. Uh I
014have to give props to our teachers. It's a change in philosophy and it's a hard lift and they're working really hard and doing a great job. Questions with iLearn? I learn continues through uh 6 through 8 through the middle school. Same thing. I won't go through all the numbers, but we're over the state average in every grade. Um, interesting. And this is across the state as kids get older. I think there was an article in the paper not too long ago about literacy at the middle school level in grades sixth, seventh, and eth. I feel like as a as a state, we've cracked the code on prek. Um, we're doing really well on phonics and K2 and learning to decode, reading well, M35. um now it's focusing on middle school. So, we're still, you know,
015uh at the at the lowest five percentage points above the state average in both math and ELA. Um so, I think they're doing well. If you look at math and ELA combined, um sixth grade, we're over 10 percentage points over the state average and our sixth graders passing both assessments. Again, we've realigned curriculum maps. We partnered with Khan Academy that is also at the middle school and this year we are providing an extra year of math and ELA as kids go from 6 to 7th to 8th. So uh ju just real quick you have a 120 minute literacy block in fifth grade and then you go to a 47 minute period in middle school. How do you expect kids to grow with less time? And so uh Mr. Martin actually uh asked um if we
016can help with that last year and propose something and so we have an extra English and math teacher in both sixth and seventh. So all of our kids will get extra uh an extra year in both math and ELA as they go through middle school. Questions with that? And our last thing is SAT. SAT is a test that you have to pass in Indiana to graduate from high school. Um this is kind of interesting to me. Um, this is just an observation. Uh, no judgment. Um, but in high school it actually flips. Math is usually higher all the way through. And then when we get to high school, uh, English is almost 70%, which is 15 percentage points above the state average. 70% of our kids in high school, their junior year being proficient on
017SAT is awesome. I mean, it's really good. Uh, math is lower, um, but it's lower throughout the state. So it drops from state average in ELA 54 down to 25. We're still over six percentage points uh above the state average. H however if we could bring that up to 40% then we can have four out of every 10 kids graduating with the SAT. They won't have to find an alternative route to graduation. Um and again uh we the partnership with Khan Academy has went up to the high school. I think they're doing some great things at the high school. uh SRT. Um they have four f a focus targeted SAT prep during that time. We have one teacher that's overseeing math, one teacher that's overseeing English, and all of our juniors are going through that
018program because the more that they're um exposed to it, the better they're going to do. Questions? >> I have a question for you, Mr. Miko. >> Oh, Mr. Pan, >> I guess it's more of an opinion. Yeah. with with all this stuff. I I love when states get involved with this stuff and their mandatory test and their mandatory requirements. As this gets implemented, how much do you think this changes? Let's teach them to learn versus let's teach them to pass a test because we all look better when they can check this box and this box and this box versus we've taught you. >> Yeah, >> just an opinion. I'm just curious. >> No, I think that you struggle with that. So I this is this is the way I look at that. It's not the
019all be all, right? I look at data is if we have correct programming, if our teachers are using correct pedigogy, if they're working really hard, if they're connecting with kids, if they're collaborating and they're looking at data, those tests will go up. We don't necessarily have to teach to it, but if we're doing the right things in all classrooms, the scores are going to raise. If we're not doing the right things, then we're going to see it in the data. Um, do I think the goal is to get 100% of the kids pass? high learn obviously this that's going to be hard for any district in our state but that's the goal but I agree I I I don't I feel like we're using all the tools to help kids think critically problem solve and
020be lifelong learners hopefully with all the support we can provide without necessarily teaching to the test. However, it would be silly to ask a kid to pass an assessment that we don't know what's on it and we're not preparing them to pass it. But, but I do think for the first time I've been in education, the way I learn is set up this year is beneficial for to kids and and to teachers. I don't I don't know if that answers your question, but it's and I think our teachers another thing is I think our teachers work really hard. I think they're passionate about helping kids and I think they do a good job. I part of this is I want them to feel that success when we get our when I get we get cuz
021I'll tell you it's it's demoralizing. I've worked in districts where you you get results and you're at 30%. Teachers feel like how I could do better. Why why aren't I doing better? And so I want them to feel it and they're doing a good job. But there's still some things we can do better. Any other questions? >> I just want to commend the principles and Mr. MCO because your attention to this has been phenomenal. Your willingness to try new things with wisdom has been a heavy lift. Um, but I think it's going to pay huge dividends for our kids. Gretchen, you said we're going to make it this year at 95. I really think we will. Um and it's because of the collective efforts of administration, teachers, Mr. Mo. So it's greatly appreciated. >> I
022I I totally agree. Just to piggy back off that being principal in every high school, middle school, and elementary, it it gets very easy just to put off fires and manage the building every day. It's it's it's hard sometimes to push that aside and put supporting teachers and kids and pushing growth forward. Um that could get lost really easy um in some buildings and I think our principles do a really good job at making sure they're taking care of teachers and and and kids and we're moving in the right direction. So and that also comes to the leadership of Dr. Cole. So >> thank you very much. Do board members have any comments on >> I I know I'm keeping an eye on the next meeting tomorrow night. >> They post the agenda. Is that
023annexation on it? >> Oh yeah. So tomorrow night you'll show up or uh feel free to watch online. Are they approving new subdivisions? Is that further? >> Well, that's >> 982 parcel subdivision >> in 160 acres. So, it's basically just >> five homes per one acre is what? Is that what that? >> Yeah. >> You have plenty of room at our school. There's a lot of there's a lot of to it like 50 people sign up to >> how terrible this is. >> They're they are asking for St. John community people to um voice concerns >> voice concerns because it it pushes a lot onto the school district um without communication. That's the sad part. We find out about this stuff by looking at the agendas and going to the meetings or watching them online.
024>> We have plenty of room for them on our roads for more any more cars and um it's a huge thing. So what time is that? >> Six o and they do have it on YouTube. >> Be a long one. >> How many how many acres did you say? >> 168 acres for 982 homes. >> Homestown homes. It's homes. >> I wouldn't even I use the term homes very loosely, >> but I mean that tiny that tiny little lot by um Providence Bank. I mean they did 158 town homes but they're smaller than what the ordinance was for that town. Um so I can imagine that's what happened with this too. But um >> yeah, >> I think I'm hoping there's quite a bit of pressure to not cave particular. >> Yeah, we'll see. We'll
025see. But that's the only thing I got going on with. >> Yeah. It's a lot. >> No. Well, and I I think the point needs to be made that never when there's a development ever ever ever does anybody ever go to the police department, the fire department, the school and say, "Can you handle this?" Or, "How can you handle this?" >> Or, "What can we do to help you handle this?" >> Never does that happen. So, if at any point anybody ever says, "Oh, yeah, no, we've been in communication with the school corporation." It's a flatout lie. No, >> there is no communication with the school corporation. They don't care what we think. >> No, >> they care about bottom line. >> They care about profits. >> Yeah. >> Because having the buildings and the
026space to have to put those kids and the staff and the resources for them is not their problem once they sell their house. It's our problem. And when a school tries to make plans for the next 10 years and build red cedars, you would think that St. John or any other Cedar Lake or any developers would put their two cents in, you know, about three years I'm going to try to put this in. So you kind of know what maybe you assume what growth might be with a growth development, you know, thing, but it's it's hard and it hits us hard with transportation. because all these subdivisions that are going in now were short buses and then how do you get more? There's no funds for that. Then 982 homes >> and is pushing for
027it to be a tiff, too. So, >> another tiff. >> See, that's a great idea. >> And I and I'm stating this out loud. Lton has had St. John um already vote this year on three different of his subdivisions as tiff districts, meaning all of the taxes from those homes go directly to St. John. Two of those subdivisions are for handover, one is for Lake Central. This one that's 982 homes is for handover. So if all of the funds go to the town of St. John because of the tiff, it's called residential tiff. Those are funds we will not get. Is that so tomorrow? Is that decided tomorrow? If the 900 >> if it's on the agenda, then that means they're voting on it. >> And the other thing is when the argument is used,
028oh, but you get the money per student. Well, that is true. We do get the money per student. That has nothing to do with where to put them. And the money that we get per kid >> does not cover >> the additional cost or anything that would have to do with expansion or construction to be able >> transportation teachers >> to handle that. It's a great talking point. It's a awesome talking point for politicians. >> Oh, but they get the money. Bunny follows the kid, right? So, they're going to get that that little voucher. That little voucher doesn't anywhere near cover what it cost as a whole. per student. >> Well, building has to come by referendum anyway, so we'd have to pass another referendum, which would increase everyone's taxes to be able to house
029new students. So, >> yeah. >> Yikes. Okay. So, we're all gonna I may be going that [Music] >> I I may sign up to talk about um get there early. idea. Oh boy. All righty. Moving forward. Um, you want me to read the thing? All right. Do we have to gabble in? >> I'm ging. Good evening. I would like to welcome everyone to the preliminary determination hearing regarding Hanover Community School Corporations proposed $300 million general obligation bond. The preliminary determination hearing notice was published in the Northwest Indiana Times in the South Lake County Sun on September 10th as well as September 18th. Notices were also posted at Jane Ball Elementary, Handover Central Middle School, and our administration building. The purpose of this public hearing is to inform the public as to the proposed projects as
030well as to allow all interested parties and taxpayers the opportunity to voice their opinion and ask questions. This general obligation bond will be used to fund renovations, improvements, and equipment for the buildings for the school corporation, including but not limited to boilers, upgrades to chillers, paving repairs, roof repairs, and the purchase of buses. At this time, I would like to introduce Tyler, sorry, your last name. >> Waffles. >> Thank you. From Baker Tilly, who will speak to the financial details of the general obligation bond. >> Good evening. Thank you for having me tonight. Uh I'm Tyler Holtz with Baker Tilly Municipal Advisors and I'll be walking through the financing and those projects. Uh I'll start by showing uh what your current outstanding debt in your debt service fund looks like. uh you're not exempt at
031service fund. You can see that in 2026 you have payments that are dropping and what that drop allows you to do along with some notice value growth that you'll be seeing next year of about 8 8.1%. It allows you to issue some bonds fill into that year in 2026 and not raise your debt service tax rate. >> I have to interrupt for one second to correct something that I read. It is not 300 million. I apologize. It's three million. >> Sorry. 3003. Sorry. >> Here you can see a calculation of your general obligation that capacity which is one3 of 2% of your net assessed value. And then after subtracting out your current outstanding general obligation bonds leaves you with a capacity of $8.27 million. So anything you've issued under that amount can be issued as
032G bonds. So, what we've done is we've structured a $2,875,000 bond issue, which along with a conservative interest expense um estimate of about $123,000 would take you to right under that $3 million uh for a payment next year. It'd be paid off in just over a year. And as I said, they this would not increase your debt service tax rate. And this is how the new new bonds would look alongside your outstanding debt. You can see your total payments will be increasing next year, but because you have that 8.1% growth in your net assessed value, we estimate that it would keep your debt service rate flat. That is all I have. I'm happy to answer any questions. >> Any questions? >> Can I ask you real quick on on your recent issuances? What has the
033coupon interest rate been recently? >> I had one today that was a 10-year bond for 3.1%. So, Anything shorter than that is typically a little lower. Um, those were rated and I think with a one-year bond, we might it might not be worth it to pay for a rating. We can talk with my pricing analyst um between now and sale, but it might be probably below threes today. Thank you. >> Thank you for your presentation, too. >> At this time, I would like to open the floor to public comment. Any public comment? Going once, going twice. If there's no further public comment at this time, then I will officially close the public hearing. A second I'm sorry. Our um second and final public hearing will occur at our next regularly scheduled board meeting, which will
034be taking place on Tuesday, October 14th. Thank you. I'm so sorry. >> Get that roof. >> We liked your number better. >> Yeah, it would be nice, wouldn't it? >> Nope. >> So, sorry. >> I don't think we could keep our >> No, it would it would go through the vote. >> All right. Do we have um anybody like to make a motion to approve the cassette agenda? >> I'll make a motion to approve the consent agenda. >> I'll second it. Any comments, questions? Cole, roll call. >> Peli, >> yes. >> Verdan, >> yes. >> Haskell, >> Yes. Or 5. >> We have nothing underformational tonight. Our first action item. I'd like to request the approval of our annual self-certification of microurchase threshold of $50,000 for the 202526 school year. And this is for our
035cafe department. This will require formal board action. >> I'd like to make a motion to request approval of the annual self certification of micrase threshold of $50,000 for the 2526 school year. >> I'll second. Any comments or question? Roll call. >> Yes. >> Erdan, >> yes. >> Has >> yes. >> Kosma, yes. Melissa, >> yes. approve it. >> Thank you. Our second action item tonight, I'd like to request approval of our public official bonds for myself, our corporation treasurer, Denise Simp, our corporation payroll specialist, Leanne Watulski, uh our high school uh ECA treasurer Pam Gins, and then a position schedule blanket bond for the Hannover Community School Corporation, which includes all of our other school treasurers, our athletic director, and our assistant athletic director. We renew these on an annual basis with our insurance carrier.
036This will require formal board action. >> Anybody like to make a motion? >> I'll make a motion to approve all of that that Mr. W just said. >> Anybody like to second? >> I'll second. >> Comments or questions? >> Roll call. >> Yes. >> Fan. >> Yes. >> Pascal, >> yes. >> KMA, >> Yes. Board of five approval. Item number three, request approval of the following board policies. New board policy 5540.01, investigations by the department of ch child services, DCS, and board policy 5540.02, the schools and governmental agencies. This requires formal board action. >> Anybody like to make a motion? I'll make a pol uh a motion to approve new policy or 01 and new policy 554-02. >> Anybody like to second comments or questions? >> Yes. >> Okay. So, personally, I think schools should
037be a safe area free from any distractions not related to education. So when you look at both of these policies, reading through them, the key part that catches my eye is uh there's a statement says when a government agency requests permission to interrogate a student at school. The other one says when DCS requests permission to interview a student at school. The key word in both of those is request. So in my opinion, what it should say is when uh when they request permission, the school will deny access without a court order. So, I don't think we should be granting outside agencies permission to talk to our students without parents knowledge and during school hours during a during the school day. So, I'm going to vote no for both of those policies and ask why. >>
038Roll call. >> Uh, Biani, >> yes. >> Bane, >> yes. >> Haskell, >> yes. >> Koosma, no. Isa, >> yes. Uh the board has voted 4 to1 to approve. >> Thank you.

I'll make a motion to approve revised policy 611 and revised policy 6116, revised policy 6151 and technical correction to 6230. >> Uh second. Any comments or discussion? Roll call. >> Uh Bel, >> yes. >> Berdane, >> yes. >> Haskell >> yes. >> Kuzma, yes. >> Yes. Boards vote 502. Next we have revised policy 7300 on the disposition of real property and a technical correction 7310 on the disposition of
039surplus property. This requires formal board action. I'll make a motion for the revised policy revised policy 7300 and technical correction for 7310. Anybody want a second?
