I'm Amber Camber, the preschool director, and I have Mrs. Mohouse and Miss Ashley, one of our wonderful preschool assistants. Mrs. Mohouse is going to introduce all her friends that came to see tonight. Okay, so we have Lauren >> and Kenton, Elelliana, Kenzie, Luke, and B. They've been practicing super hard. >> We're excited. >> They just got some cute pictures. This is all Mrs. Moore's class doing some centers and things during the school day. We are going to sing five green and speckled frogs. >> Guys, ready? >> Mother Goose Club playhouse. >> Oh, yeah. That way. >> Five green and speckled frogs. >> Hi, Mother Goose Club.
003Today I'm pretending to be a frog. Ribbit. Ribbit. >> Do you want to sing a frog song with me? How about five green and speckled frogs? >> Everybody get your five frogs ready. Just like this. green andckled. Yum, yum. There was nice frogs and frogs. green delicious frogs and frogs. eating the most delicious yum yumckled frog andckled frogckled eating delicious yum yum. where it crackled frogs. >> Great. I just want to thank all the parents for taking time out of your evening and coming here and letting the kids perform. That truly is the sweetest thing. I just feel so lucky to get to work at the preschool every day with all of these amazing kids and families. No problem. >> I'm going to walk through just a little bit of information about preschool and I'll
004try not to talk too much. Um, as a district, our mission statement is to ensure that all of the students perform at continuously higher levels. And I think that preschool is right where we start setting the bar high and creating students who are lifelong learners. And really, um, if you look at the portrait of a graduate here, I know our three, four, and 5year-olds are far from graduation, but learning how to be at school, a foundation so that they can be successful forever. >> In preschool, we're working on the early learning and development standards and domains. So, in addition to math and reading, which I feel like are the big ones we always think about, we're doing lots of other things. We're teaching kids approaches to learning, working on cognitive development, creative development, social studies,
005um social and emotional development, science, physical development and wellness, and then also math and reading. >> For our curriculum, we use Frog Street. It's approved by the state, aligns with the science of reading. Um, it really is a pretty rigorous curriculum and our teachers do an awesome job differentiating and meeting the the needs of sort of our younger students and just kids who maybe need um some scaffolding and then also students who maybe have already mastered all their letters and letter sounds and are ready to start reading. We serve students with disabilities in our preschool program. So if a a child is born and they're identified as having a disability until they turn three, they're served by the county and then when they turn three, they can come to Goan to receive their services. Um,
006we take those who'd make that transition from early intervention and if a family or a doctor or maybe a daycare does not go has a concern, then they can reach out to us with a referral and we'll go through the evaluation process with that family to determine if the student needs special education services. So just this year alone, we've done 25 initial evaluations for kiddos either coming through Help Me Grow or just in the community. And we currently have seven more packets outstanding. We have 36 of our preschoolers who will be going to kindergarten next year. And that's a mixture of students who are receiving special education services and those who are not. Um and we're really excited because we know that those kids are going ready to learn. A little bit specific about our
007program. We have one full day classroom with Mrs. Burns and then the rest of our classrooms are half day integrated. We have Mrs. Hatfield, Mrs. Lindberger, Mrs. Mhouse, and Miss Brunie. We are through the lottery system. So, in the past, the preschool had done a first come, first serve. This year, we switched to lottery. um felt like it would give families who maybe have trouble with transportation or have a job, things like that, and aren't able to get there on that first day an opportunity, an equal opportunity for everyone to apply to be a tuition paying student in the program. So, we started with um current students filling out intent and then we um did a lottery for new students and we have all of our families who are new tuition paying students or who
008are returning filling out final forms. So, we're aligning with the rest of the district on that. I think that'll be nice. >> And here are just lots of super fun pictures of the rest of our preschool students. >> You can just look at the pictures and see how fun it is. We have a great time every day and the kids are such a joy to be around. >> Do you guys have any questions for me? >> No, I just want to say that was fabulous. >> They did a great job. facing to hear from the kids. I feel like the parents are probably just as nervous as the kids right now to keep them quiet. But >> if we can't deal with chatty children, we shouldn't be in our position. So, your kids are a
009delight. >> They did a great job. Thank you guys. Thanks for having me to present. And Angela Kzer is going to talk about the Ocean Learning Academy. >> Hello. I've come tonight to share a little update, some new stuff that we're doing at Learning Academy for the before and after care and the new summer camp coming up. So, we offer before and after care for children. We do the special circumstance days that's such as if school's out for a holiday or something, we will be open nine times out of 10. Um, we have a capacity of at least 18 students on those days to make it worth all the staff coming in. And then we also of course do summer camp two months June and July. >> Um so a little bit about this school
010year. We've had a total of 109 students. Um I think we're at 98 total that have stayed. Um before school care we have 63 students. That is five uh preschoolers. Uh let's see. Preschool is fifth grade or fifth up fifth preschool through fifth grade. Sorry. am we have four preschoolers right now. We actually have one new one joining next week. Uh we have 35 Mark Cook students and 19 scalding students. After school we have a total of 51 and we go up to fifth grade. We have five prek in afternoon 34 in Mark Cook and 12 students in the fall. And each year I've noticed we're about 10 more than we had the first year that I started. Uh so this summer camp, just to give you a little glimpse because we just started, uh
011we're actually doing an Olympic theme to go with the year. So all the groups will have their different countries and everything. Uh we have only had enrollment open for two weeks and we have 70 students. So I've been crazy busy with paperwork. Uh we have booked our events for the summer. We have the pottery lady, as the kids call hers. She's Ann from Starglazer. She's coming on June 8th. Uh Jason Jacobs the magician. The kids love him. Uh we also have something new this year, Boots and Mini Moose, Highland Pals. >> So the kids are super excited about that. And we have the Mad Cat puppet show. We had them come out last year. Shelley had them out for Mark Cook students and they love them. So they're going to do a little thing of
012monkey which I thought was very fitting for our kids. So, every year I like to get input from the parents of the students and they write cute little things for us. There's one on here specific. You can read the others, but the one specific that I wanted to read, it kind of got to my heart a little bit. So, it's from Sierra Connley. Everly Connley is her daughter that goes to school, goes to school at uh Mark Cook right now. So, it says, "Everly has never had a complaint about her time at GLA. In fact, she gets mad at me if she has to miss, leave early, or gets dropped off even five minutes later than normal. She loves the staff and the friends she has made through different grades and classes. It is so
013reassuring to know that she has a place where she is safe, loved, and has fun rather than a place she just has to tolerate. We couldn't be more pleased with our experience, and I know that this work is so hard and often times underappreciated. We consider GLA to be our village and we can't say it enough how appreciative we are of all of them. So I thought that was very sweet. Um so at this time I have some lovely little kids. >> So uh we're going to have Mia Miller, Coraline Mhouse, Kenan Kaiden, and Chloe Creole. And Charlie Myers couldn't make it today. She's at volleyball. She might come in. You never know. So, they're just gonna show you or share with you some of their favorite things of learning academy. Come here, girl. You
014got this. >> Yeah. Come over here, guys. Come over here. Over here. In front of me. They don't need to see me. No. There you go. There you go. Chloe, you want Come here, monkey. Come here, monkey. Come here. I told you you don't have to speak. You're fine. Okay. So, let me see this. Canon, I asked all the students, "What is your favorite thing about Learning Academy?" And so, I'm going to go one by one. Kayen, what did you say? What's your first thing on there? >> Right there. >> Everything. >> Kenan, what's your favorite thing? EVERYTHING. >> WOW. >> CORALINE, what's your favorite thing? >> Dance party Fridays. We have a dance party every Friday morning to get the wiggles out for the week. >> What did you say, Mia? >> No homework
015Friday. Friday afternoons. We don't do homework. We don't make them do it. The other question I asked them was what they were looking forward to this summer camp since they're all coming to our summer camp. Kaiden, can you read it? Movie Friday. >> Movie Friday. What's yours? >> Pottery. Coraline. >> Magician. >> And what's yours, Ma? >> Pottery and Olympics games. >> The Olympics games. You're excited about the new theme. All right. And that's all from us. Thank you. WELL, I do want to do you have something to go. >> Want to stay with me? >> Well, I just I want to the kids that are left because I know some of them >> they did they had to go >> had to go. We'll have at least I don't know which one's left. So,
016that's going to be tough. But what we do when kids come out and present, we give them a certificate, a little go pin for going above and beyond and doing extra than others. So, we appreciate them being here tonight. And if I call you up and you're still here, I am going to ask you to tell me who you brought with you tonight because it's important to honor those parents that brought you or you can just point to them, >> however you want to do it. And I have found that if I sit down, it doesn't I'm not this big intimidating intimidating scary guy here with all these little little guys. So when you come up, I'm going to give your ticket. You're going to give me a fist bump and then you're going to
017say who you brought with you that morning. >> And those that are not here, I'm just going to hand off to you. >> Y still here. >> Your mom and dad are too. Thank you guys. And we've got >> Chloe Creel. >> Say thank you. >> Maybe next year. >> Yeah, we got Kaden for too. >> Come on up. Hold on. That's fun. Who did you bring with you? >> Mother, father, sister. >> There you go. >> And youngest brother I have. >> Thanks, >> Caroline. >> Coraline, >> mom and dad, mom and dad. probably. >> Mom, brother, and dad. Perfect. Kenzie >> Christopher Phillips >> Toby >> I'll come down tomorrow Bo Philpot Robert >> you bring with you >> thank you >> who' you bring with you you're welcome you bring with Who's
018that? >> J Sharp. >> Okay. Luke Stewart. >> He left. He was back here. Yes. >> And then Riley Schub. Am I missing one? >> Did I miss one for >> Mr. Manning, come up here. >> Come here, Miss I'm going to give you a pen and then guess what? I'm gonna come down tomorrow someplace. I'm me and stuff and get sound like a good idea. >> Yeah. Go to Mrs. Hatfield's class. >> None of this happens without staff here. So we have see Mrs. Kratzer, >> Mrs. Kzer, SORRY. >> Thank you. >> Mrs. Cosmack, >> didn't pin it to yours. We thought maybe you could handle it. >> ASHLEY WALDEN >> and Mrs. Huber. >> Oh, thank you. Thank you. Here's our >> We just want to say thank you because these two lovely
019ladies do an absolutely fantastic job in preschool and learning academy and thank you for being here this evening because it is hard to keep your kiddos quiet and so I know that's like Mr. Bailey said that can be very stressful but we do thank you so much for just enrolling your kiddos in preschool and trusting us with our with your children and also using the learning academy for afterare and summer camp. Without you, we wouldn't have anybody. So, thank you very much. >> Thank you. >> Typically, right now, we do a little disclaimer and say this is the appropriate time to sneak out unless you want to stay for the whole business. You're welcome to and we'd love for you. But if you would like to sneak out, >> usually it clears a room. Usually
020we have >> everybody clean the house up. >> It's only the back of my head. So, moving on. Um, the last facilities update, Mr. Bailey. >> Yes. Let's give you a quick update. Um, we are on track. We're a little off track. I think things are going to really start to come together. But I think you guys know the world of construction and where we're at. Um, we had originally anticipated moving in spring break. I think that may still be on track, but I don't know that it'll be fully in by the end of spring break. There's still I have a feeling as you see projects come together, some of you know that more than others, things start happening fast and then they slow down a little bit and then they speed up again. Um
021we are about a week behind I think. Um which as we've talked you know this this big piece is when we get out they can start Mark Cook but we've worked with the contractor at Mark Cook and talked about a little update there which I'll show you will not impact opening over there. So we're in a good spot to not rush this and that's kind of where Mr. Smith and GCR is we're going to get this done the right way. um some things just out of our control. Some HVAC specs and what looks good on architect drawing and then when you get into the building and what needs to happen kind of backed us up on submittals a little bit and some back and forth. So there is a lot going on down there right
022now. I took a few pictures can't see it in the top left ceiling grid all the drop ceiling grids in. Obviously we don't have the tiles in yet because everything that's going above it from HVAC uh will be above that. Um, so kind of the next step is they'll finish HVAC, finish some plumbing inside and out. Ceiling grid will go in. Then we'll start to see the windows and doors and lighting fixtures, um, signage, some more plumbing, all the case work, um, cleaning, and then the big one or the big two really are uh, our data connection. So that is hooking up the whole rack and you can kind of see in the middle picture there on the bottom. All that data has got to go into Iraq and get us up and running there.
023The other two right-handed sides are the internal HVAC kind of um units that are going in to heat and cool the middle of the building as the outside will be by the original um system that was there. So, a lot being done. Um I think we will, you know, I think we're a little bit behind. May may play catchup just depending on how things go, but I think we're in a good spot. uh questions on that. It is progressing. It's it's just a little bit behind which is I think you kind of plan on. Speaking of that, this is too small to see, but we did ask um the contractor that's working on Mark Cook if we had to back up the start date of April 6, which we originally gave them. They just kind
024of backed it up to an April 20th start. You can see they've listed out everything that they're going to be doing and it still has us at a finish date of August 4th. So, I think we had a little cushion built in there regardless. So, I think we'll be okay with this. That's where I said we're not going to rush that project up there. Let's get it done right with a little bit of room here. So, uh we probably will be moving some things over spring break, but not fully seated up there right away. So, questions on that, Troy and and Mr. Smith and obviously the GCs that both are in constant communication SHP along the way as well. So feel like we're in a good spot. Um just the nature of it and then
025the opening walls and trying to figure things out looks good on a drawing but when it gets to the field some tweaks had to be done and that's kind of where we're at in the field. >> So our next board meeting we should have a pretty good update. >> We should. Yes. Don't don't quote me on that but yes we should. >> So no surprise cost. >> Yeah. No cost. We're in line with budget. Everything has stayed where it needs to be. So, actually a deduction. >> We had a deduct come through last week. So, no increases. Yes. >> Good. Good. >> Any additional questions? >> Okay. >> Right. Moving on to new business item A, public participation. Mrs. Sherzinger, do we have anyone? >> No. >> Right. Moving on. New business item B, treasures
026report. Mr. Shiku. >> Yeah. So, I I think we've shared that we don't know a lot of things. Um I there's a tons of school everyone's in the same boat and uh we had superintendent treasures meeting a couple weeks ago and county auditor's office was there. Same thing pretty much. They're reaching out trying to figure out so you know we have this settlement coming up for this current period for 2000 it's 26 we're collecting for 25 then July 1 that's when everything's going to change um the law I think actually takes effect from the governor's office like March 20th for all those changes and then uh so then it's really going to roll in. So anyway, I've given this best shot to as an update, you know, knowing that there's going to be changes with
027the floor, inside millage, all that kind of stuff. So I'm going to try to show you we're and it's a best guess. I'm really not trying to make excuses here and really want you guys to know we're we're educated guesses here. Which one are in here? I try this one. >> Yep. >> Oh my gosh, I did that. So um if you look at this, this is our um charts that we were, you know, doing like four or five months ago when to try to get caught up. So our beginning balance was our $16 million. Our fiscal year today we brought in 28,732. >> We spent 272 and right now we're up to 174.99 which for the beginning of the year it's 1492. Now I will tell you that we just got our two real
028estate settlements. So that's why there's a big jump, you know, this year that looks like the revenues in there. We won't be getting I mean, we'll get our final settlement, but not near what we got. So the average is off here. >> Um on this, this is just like kind of a a chart showing just the annual re revenue received. So we've got 73% of our revenue. The months complete is basically twothirds. We're done with, you know, eight months of this current year. And uh so far we've brought in for a budget amount. We've got right now we're going to pull in 39 almost 395 and the remaining is $10 million. I know I'm running through that just on the expenditure side we spent about 68% which is basically where we're at in our chart.
029So again on our expenditures I think it's one of those things that I shared last month. We can we know what a teacher costs or that sort of thing, you know, so we can put the cost in. It's just how much are we going to get revenue from the state, local, that sort of thing is is pro is more difficult than the expenditure side. That's not to say that we don't have a chiller go out or roof leak that needs repaired, but I mean, for the most part, you know, we kind of allocate for that. So, this is where we're kind of sitting at uh again twothirds of the way through this current year. Any questions on that? Can >> you go back one? I hope so. >> Yep. >> All right, that's it. I
030got it. I just want I didn't see that number. >> So, uh, revenue. Now, this is where it kind of just paints a slightly different picture. So, last year we we pulled in 284. This year we pulled in 287. So, if you really look, this is where we're kind of the rubber feet in the road a little bit. Our February revenue is up 235,000 or a whopping 1%. So that's where we're sitting at now on our revenue. As you can see, we collected a lot more tax tax money locally. You know, everyone's value went up, but this is what happened at the state level. We're down 632. So it's kind of a wash right there. The federal is just kind of like our portion when we draw those down for those. >> Did a front
031line come up with that graphic there? You know how I feel about those bars being >> they are definitely not >> together in that. So I apologize for that. >> So is that a frontline analytics thing or what generates that? >> It is it's all off the the system. It roll our financials roll into the software and then it it puts it on though. >> So it is actual >> the left is different than the right. So if you look at it >> total revenue >> that way, right? >> Separate our graph. >> We've got less revenue than we did this year. But >> but you're revenue. >> I understand what they're saying. It's like really this 28 if you really put it there it should be like 56. >> We're not that far off.
032Our revenue is not that far off. >> Yeah. >> He's not spending any additional money on his program. He's just using >> correct feedback to frontline analytics and say >> well I will see what I can do then to get more >> more. Yeah. So Todd, would you say that the 200 It was like 230 some thousand that >> that we've received more than last year. Does that keep up with the inflation? >> No, not not really. I mean, it's a 1% jump. And here's our expenditures. It's a great lead in and this was up. So, thank you. Um, last year our February was 24 million. This year we're 272. So, you can see we're 11% increase. that you know a lot of our staff we've got we're moving up on steps and that sort
033of thing. >> It's not that I mean it's just you know just the cost of everything right now is so much lower. So you can see the kind of the breakdown here is just our salaries and benefits are a million of it purchase services which that's our buzzing I mean our utility costs I don't know if you guys are making your Duke bills oh my they're going up. So that's all part of that and then other questions on that. That's what I was I was going to ask about that uh energy cost. I mean that's we have agreement. I mean I mean are we going to get hit with that schools as I mean just like the consumer >> on our utility rates? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> We are locked in with our rates. We
034do go out and get agreements with that. I mean we've been with Shipley. We've been with Duke. I mean we whenever the market comes up and our contract comes through we'll do that. The biggest thing that's happening now, and I'm not a electrical guru, but it's the transmission fees that are just is what's really driving it. The cost of electric evidently is not that much, but it's just what they're charging to run through the lines >> is. So, this is it as much of an increase for schools. >> We're not immune to those transcre. >> Yeah. Right. Now, we've done a lot with energy projects and that to >> take some of our bigger energy producers and try to keep it low, >> but that doesn't >> Right. Right. >> The increases do hit us.
035>> The increase, >> right? >> Much worse. Yeah. >> Yeah. Our kilow kilowatt law is it's locked in. I mean, and honestly, I can't remember it is. It's like 0.004 04 cents a kilowatt hour or whatever. But we we do a lot of kilowatts here. So it's not the jigawatts and back to the future of that. Still it's a lot. And then projected year end cash balance. So you know we finished last year with our 16. Right now we are tracking to go over budget by about a half million dollars um 453,000. And again, that's best guesstimate. I mean, if you look up there, we do have 142 g days of cash on hand. So, I think the one thing that we really I mean, have to look at is we're going to be going
036into the second year of the bianual budget. We got all those changes of all the Senate bills. I think it's taking effect in March. So, everyone will really get a clearer picture this next fiscal year when that when that happens. I mean, like for the real estate taxes, for example, like talking to the county auditor's office, they don't know specifically what's going to happen, what everyone's what everyone's paying into escrow and that sort of thing, what that impact's going to be on their tax bill in the, you know, coming up for the fall for the second half. So, it's really going to be an interesting time on what's, you know, what's transpired at that time. Cool. That's it. I do have the financing for the future. I do want to at some point bring up
037and talk about my next slide. Sorry. >> My bad. >> So, I apologize. >> I said I don't want to talk about financing. I'm just kidding. >> We don't have to. >> Let's talk about this. >> So, the last time u we met, we had our audit done in the audit finance met back in November. Then at that time we have our outstanding debt on our cops issue which our last payment is going to be paid off this this December of 2026. And it's basically it's just given I mean since this is paid off it's going to give us some options on what we could do on the renovation. So, what our hope is is that we'll be able to do another cops issue and that's where at the board meeting where we moved it
038to $3 million to try to pick up all of our cost. Once we get the solid number, we'll go out, >> issue that cops issue for that, >> pay back into our PI fund, and then that way it'll help us for maintenance and any other projects that we got going on here at the school. So, it again, that's that that amount is a $3 million lid. So we're not going to go over that uh on November's agenda. The board that's we did that for the three million to authorize that cost. So once all these projects get done, we'll be coming back with what the actual amount is for all those projects. >> I apologize for that. So right now is what I mean probably and I'll talk about it may retreat wise, but that's probably
039when we should have a good idea of where we're at. Um, we're looking at anything from black top to roofs to other long-term costs that we have coming at us that would be a part of that cops issue because you can finance some of those as well to protect the general fund to an extent. >> What roofs are we talking about? Spalding. Well, we've got a five-year capital plan with um with Garland, the roof company, and there's a couple um annexes at Spalding that are up and uh the middle school right now. As part of that, remember, they give you the years. We're at those years, and we just have to decide if those are ones we're going to go with and put in this cops issue or if they can hold off. So, we're
040at that point where we have to decide what pieces of, you know, capital we could loop into this cop cops issue. Um, or which ones we can't. So, >> and with the roofing that was >> tornado. >> Yeah. The tornado like >> all that's been taken care of through insurance. >> Yeah. But I mean, uh, as far as, you know, like with our high school, was it 100% of the roof? And I mean, what was I mean roughly? I mean, is any of that >> No, none of that's none of it's this is just all long-term five years. So, anything that came of the tornado is fixed. >> Yeah. >> Um, so any roof that's >> remaining has a life in it, right? And that's where they start to do the infrared test. >> Yeah.
041>> See if there's any insulation breakdown. So, we've got that report from them. We've got a couple recommendations from them. Now, it's just can we afford it? um we're at that point because if you go sinking million dollars into roofs and as Todd showed our expenditure our revenues are not coming in that way it's kind of hard to do it. So we're trying to work through this along with the renovations to more and um the the new administrative offices to then see what we have capitalized that we should go ahead and take care of inside of that that debt issue. So, we we I would say we'll have a better picture for you of what outside of those two projects we're going to talk about putting into that debt issue a month or so from
042now. Okay. >> Just spreading out that cost every time while we're waiting correct for the >> budget to settle and actually have some guidance. >> Yeah. If you'd like I mean there's the whole district I mean ballpark are the roof value of go school is about $14 million. I mean, it's a huge number. And we work with Garland, who has a state contract for the product. And then what they do is they'll farm out labor. But what happened prior to this is they went out, they took infrared shots of our roofs to see if there's, you know, moisture in the in the in the roofing. >> How long ago did they do that? >> Just a couple months ago. We just had that done. >> Oh, okay. And so we're trying to come up with
043the have to do and want to do, but it's more like, you know, what are the stuff that's really coming to the plate that we have to fix in the next say five years. And that's just trying to build a plan, you know, to spend our money wisely on all that stuff because that's one thing as Brian was saying, is like we we do have our black tops too. We haven't really went out there and touched one whole section north of the field, I mean of the stadium. So, it's it's things like that that trying to, you know, be as smart as we can with our expenditures and lay out a plan on all those PI type things. >> A long-term facilities plan. >> Yes. Yes. You remember we had a three-year capital plan. We're
044in coming up on year three of it, which is what we were planning for, but then you hit a revenue stream that's not continuing that way. So, it's things we're just going to have to really take stock in. The roofs aren't leaking. A lot of this stuff's preventative, stay ahead of it. Yeah, definitely. >> Um, so you want to stay ahead of it if you can, but if you can buy a year, you buy a year until we understand where we're at. So >> I think what a little bit like what I was thinking when Bill said that is >> of course if they came back and said there's an issue with a roof that we just hadn't done in the last five years because tornado, we're going to say time out. Let's go back
045to those people because that shouldn't be the reality. But if it's not part of those roofs and it's just part of the >> correct >> long-term maintenance. Yeah. And really with those roots, like when the initial project was done here, we got unfortunately the budget was really bad. So they gave us 10 year warranty roofs, which so we've done a lot of work, but anything we put in for replacement, we're we're looking anywhere from 20 to 30. We try to, >> you know, >> 10 year on the on this building, >> some of the Yeah. when it first was built >> scalding as well because I know that was >> I'd have to go back and pull those records bill but I mean it was really they blew our budget so so bad here you
046know when that was done so >> I mean we're talking 2000 you know like 25 years ago that >> when I graduated >> I said when I graduated >> there you go >> it's not that new guys >> Bill I think listening to you too with that because it's good we look at it every day and I think it's good for you guys probably to pull that facilities comm together to talk about a few of these as we >> try to make these decisions. Um, right now we're just in that data collection piece and trying to understand what's coming at us as far as that revenue side goes so we can make informed decisions with it. But I think pulling that facilities committee together would be a good idea. >> Yeah, that'd be great. And
047I I'll get you the little these little things because what they do is they do those sections of roof. They give there's a cost of today and then wait a year and then two years, three years. I mean, it's built out to like how much it'll cost as you as you let that go. But I'll show you. I mean, it's they do a nice job with it. Tori's really working hard with it now to keep up with it. So, like I said, it's $14 million estimated roots. So I mean it's huge investment to the district >> you know and then once we do meet with the facilities committee I think that may be a something we want to publish to the community just so they're aware too you know I mean some people have perceptions
048of what's going on or they assume and time escapes them you know and you know they just assume what we're spending our money on and everybody forgets that you do have you know like that that's an interesting stat that there's $14 million is the roof value, you know, I mean, I think, you know, you're like, you got to keep keep up with them, you know, like >> just like your home, you got to keep up with it. And like, yeah, we'd prefer not to spend money on your roof that you don't even see it. But, you know, you got to replace your undergarments, too. You know, it's not not fancy, but you got to take care of your stuff. You know, people don't see. So, be very transparent to everyone, I guess. >> So, again,
049there's nothing with that. Just that we did that reimbursement resolution and we're going to be totaling that up to see which part of it goes with that service. >> Yep. >> Okay. >> That's it. Any questions? Yeah, you did the question. Yes, I >> think we already had the questions. All right, moving on to new business C financials. Do we have a motion to approve uh items one through seven? >> So moved. >> I'll second. >> Bill made the motion. Melissa second. Any discussion? >> I just I just want to add on this right here.

Um, moving on, Bill Great Oaks. >> The um, first I want to start with the great achievements that you just mentioned. >> And I text Deborah the other day, but I don't know what was it like three hours after the boys basketball game and I was checking
055my watch and I'm like, I think my heart rate just finally got back to normal. That was the most intense game from the start to the finish. >> Yes. I think of any game or any sport I've ever been to really. I mean that was intense. I mean so much on the line. Um but I mean the the uh they played they played >> great. They really did. That was that was great. >> Our community showed up too. That was really >> Yeah. Yeah. Good turnout. Um Great Oaks. Uh late this month uh the kids should start getting the uh notification of their acceptance. They get accepted their programs. um you know there's so many of them that are uh really popular and and and weight listed but uh yeah so they should find out
056by the end of this month. Um also uh next or this this week actually Thursday I go with the Oaks over um to the economic forecast breakfast that's put on by uh Claremont King Chamber of Commerce. The Oaks is part of that. So that I go to that every year or the crossroads over over at Eastgate. Um just see what the uh what it looks like for next year. It's always great information. Um the public relations we've got uh I'd like to say hey the business recognition breakfast >> that was fantastic. I like the format. I like the kids presenting um >> going to different breakout sessions. Uh the kids sitting at the tables. >> Yes. >> Uh with with the different or different business partners. That was uh that was great. I really liked
057it. Everybody did a fantastic job. >> Um had to send my boss a text and said, "Hey, I'm going to be a little later than I planned on getting to work because uh because I didn't want to leave, >> you know, I wanted to go to I wanted to go to all the sessions." Yeah. Yeah. That was uh it was great. I loved it. I loved I mean, I think I said people probably thought I was insane because I was like smiling the whole time like a mad man or something. I don't know. I mean, it was just a lot to be proud of really. I mean, it's just like just just a grown on my face the whole time. >> I think the impact of like all the various businesses that support us too,
058right? Like >> um it's not just businesses you would think support education along the way, but from like all the college and career readiness that's focused just on career too. It's incredible. Yeah, like like I said, you know, previously too with uh one of the meetings I was at the Oaks with um business industry advisory committee. Go's got a great reputation for kids. >> Um we have our senior citizen dinner coming up uh Wednesday the 18th. So >> there's still time to uh RSVP and and and uh get over to that. I think we have 60 something RSVP so far, but we want >> more normal or less low or is the RSVP >> for this time. It's about normal because they roll in the last week, but we're looking >> so everybody can share
059over a hundred right people come. >> Yes. So if everybody could share that on social media too just let you know let everybody know that your friends take their parents or something or if your friends qualify but we have the red and grace war coming up which is a go alumni thing but that's that's always fun. Um, and the end of this month, spring break. I just want to say everybody, uh, if you're traveling, um, safe travels. Um, enjoy your time off and, uh, get ready for the home stretch rest of the year. Um, that's Oh, you know what? I'm sorry. I do have a couple more things, uh, with the Oaks. Um, I do have a few things to spotlight on students. Um, live oaks, we had Jerry Adams. Um he got job plate
060placement with Strat Landscaping. He's in the HVAC program. And Scarlet Oaks, Riley Freeman, um she she's advancing to the HOSA state competition. She's in the uh health technology program. And also Joel BS. Um he's also in that program. He's advancing to host the state competition as well. And I'm not sure when that competition was. Sorry if it if it happens over here and I'll find out this week's meeting for sure. And uh the graduations hope they cover that next month. I'll get this out to everybody when they are see who wants to attend what. Um one of the things I'm going to miss um well we have go to graduations May 20th but I'm going to miss the project search graduation which is now children's hospital here. It's amazing program but probably miss that excited
061graduation. >> All right. Now that's all I have. I promise. >> I think we have those. Will we share that just to make sure it's on our calendar? >> There's several that are a couple of them that are the same day, same time. Correct. >> Yes. Two of them. This is the first time >> Laurel and Scarlet. Yeah. >> And then >> scholarship. >> Yeah. >> Scholarship or is it a board meeting? The board meetings on the 11th. That's Oak and Scarlet Oaks. >> I've got to send that out to you guys. >> Yeah, that's >> we're dividing. >> Yeah, we have representatives on each. >> Thank you, Bill. Moving on. Melissa, legislative. >> Oh, goodness. Yes. Okay. Month number two of the legislative liaison. Here we go. Okay. So these um are two of
062the um acts that have become law that Dwine signed and so they are effective on March 20th. Um so House Bill 10 um which would require public schools um to adopt policies prohibiting the purchase of cultivated protein food products um or food misbranded as meat or egg product. So, I don't know if that is anything that our food service um currently does, but that is in a law effective on March 20th. Um and then House Bill 114 would um affects the um age of kindergarten. So, that's probably the what the first day of school, right, for um going forward in to um next year. And then in the general assembly is House Bill 326, which um says schools uh must choose um for the college and work ready assessment system and instead permit public and
063chartered non-public schools to select nationally and standardized assessment which may be the ACT, SAT, classic learning test or any other valid reliable and nationally norm reference. exam used for college admission. So that now goes to the Senate for consideration. So that is Oh, it would eliminate I'm sorry, it would eliminate um that. So that affects our college and career revenue assessment, which could affect our scorecard. So that would actually be a good thing for us. And then there's a whole bunch of other bills that were recently introduced into legislation. So that's because I just came back to work. >> Yes. So they are getting busy. Um and then I am um going to the legislative meeting on March 24th with Brian. So I plan to get educated and be smarter to be able to give
064a better update at the next meeting. So that's my promise. >> Thank you. >> Continuous improvement. There we go. >> Thank you, Melissa. And then um for myself uh Bill already shared our senior citizens dinner. We also have a volunteer appreciation breakfast that's scheduled for May 14th um that's in the works. Uh the GOA Education Foundation um helped support uh our alumni um to promote the red and gray soray March 21st. Hopefully you got your tickets because there's only like 20 left and that's what I've heard. Um, so if you haven't already, make sure you get your tickets. Um, make sure your students are applying for scholarships because um, the GOA Education Foundation has several scholarships along with along with many others and one of the deadlines was last week, I think Friday. So I
065think students were hurrying to get them in, but a whole another group are open up. So get out there and apply for scholarships if you're a senior. Um, that's it for me. Oh, I want to thank everybody for coming to the uh dinner last week with Southwest Ohio >> and we were a gold >> award winner. I don't know if you mentioned that in years. >> Should have known. >> Half of us covered half of Brian's up. >> Yeah, I'll leave some for you. >> Brian said, "Let me give you a shout out, Bill." >> Three months alike. >> Any um any questions for each other? Questions for us? All right. Thank you. Moving on. New business. Um I superintendent report. >> So as I was thinking about this and I didn't list things out
066on the agenda because I I like you guys was astonished at the accolades of this past month. So, I thought I'd take a minute and most of you have said these, but bear with me because I think it's important to celebrate these things because >> we have a ton of great things going on, not just at Goan, but in public education. And I think that's it's important to continue to celebrate those things. So, one is tomorrow night's um family wellness series. Um not huge sign up for it, but continue to push it out there. We're just going to continue to give parents opportunities to come in and meet with us and listen to folks and you know sometimes maybe grab a gift card from one of our great uh sponsors. But that is tomorrow night
067uh six o'clock free dinner child care. Um we're going to push it out one more time I think later today. But sign up has happened and we're we'll be having it tomorrow night. So I quickly want to say too um it was a crazy winter. I hope that I'm not getting myself too far. I did look at the forecast. I don't think it's going to snow, but I think there is more cold snaps coming, but >> I our maintenance and bus drivers need to be thanked >> tremendously for what they went through this winter because it's not easy when they're waiting on decisions to be made. Whether it's a quick easy decision or it's a long drawn out decision, their jobs still have to go on. So, they've got to get these campuses clean. uh
068they've got to hit the routes with the weather saying it's going to snow or it's not going to snow and I don't know but uh they are uh incredibly great people that put a lot of work into it. So just want to say thank you to our bus drivers, maintenance, everybody that's involved with this. But we've got people that go above and beyond to make sure these schools are ready and kids get to and from school safely no matter what no matter what time mother nature decides to do something. to that point. I don't know who it was. I think it was at the business advisory breakfast, but I hope it made it back to you or to the maintenance department, but someone said they had been on many campuses that week and um parking
069lots were the best they've been in. >> Those guys put a lot of work into they take pride in which is, you know, >> that was just somebody like walking in just totally and I was like, "Wow, that's a really big compliment." And I'd be remiss too if I didn't say something about our township because they they did a great job. Just one or two. So yes, our people do take great pride in making sure we're safe here on campus and traveling, too. All right. So, as Lisa said, Facebook's been blown up, but I thought let's just revisit these because these are the great things that are happening. And these are in no order. They were just as I was going through and reflecting. Um, boys basketball D3 district runner up. What a great game
070down to the wire. Lose by a point, but boy did those kids play hard. Um, coaches coached them, had them ready with a game plan and very proud of them. Isaac Lee and Gage Crowley did advance to day two of the districts and Gage is headed to state. He placed third uh there at the district. So, he will be going to state uh here in a week or so. And then I know our esports team uh reached the final four in the state in the Valorant tournament. Uh congratulations to those kids, Colton, Ed, Payton, Pierce, Nate, and Coach Walt on a great performance at that finishing third there uh in that final four. That's that's impressive. And I I will say there are a couple of young programs in here that I'm going to talk
071about as we go on, but when we start something, we just don't dip our toe in it. we go after it. So, these kids and coaches should be commended for that one. Um, your Lady Warriors earned D3. Had to travel hour and 40 minutes north, but uh they got after it for three quarters as well, and just didn't come out on that end. But, I think they learned a lot and we should see them returning year after year. And then just accolades uh from the hoop side. All district teams that came out of those two very successful varsity teams uh with Aubrey Bray and Tyler and then Graham second team and Carson honorable mention. Uh great great accomplishments for them. Uh and then just locally within the SBAC, we had a lot of kids uh
072recognized as winter athletes, whether it be first team, second team or honorable mention from boys basketball to girls basketball, wrestling, academic team, and bowling. Kids representing us well out there as well as their teams. Uh we also without two really good coaches. Uh, I know we've got a lot of talent on the floor, but these guys put a ton of effort into our kids and both programs and, uh, very welld deserving that we have both the boys and girls basketball coaches of the year in our in the American division of the SPAC. So, congrats to those two gentlemen. We do have one leftover winter team that's competing at state this weekend, our powerlifting team. I know that Coach Elen and his staff have put a ton of work in. They've done very well at all
073the local tournaments they've gone they're they've gone to and I know they've been putting in a lot of work to compete at that state tournament this weekend. So I wish them good luck. Hope they will be Kenton Ridge. So hopefully I'll be at there's nothing close for powerlifting. It's some travel. So yeah, they're a ways away. Two and a half hours or so. Yeah. Yep. >> Um but hopefully we'll be putting some Facebook posts up that give us some some more accolades >> real quick. um >> back to well sports programs but with our the success of our two >> basketball teams you know shout out to our youth basketball >> program also >> we had uh you know we had the uh the boys youth recognition night the girls youth recognition night >> and
074tons of kids out there >> you know and and all the uh the parents that volunteer to coach >> and uh in our coaching involvement youth program too I mean that's that's helps, you know, laying the uh the building blocks for successful programs that we have in high school. So, >> I know Greg has sent something to him. I actually sent an email back to that board and thank them because it doesn't happen >> at this level if you don't have kids involved. That's parents and that's, you know, keeping kids out and doing the right things at the youth levels. Yeah, >> they also do things like the the high school team supports the youth organization and the youth program. When kids play, they automatically get to go to youth camp um if they're available
075and the partnership there is huge. It's incredible. It's great. >> So, another one you guys mentioned, we're incredibly proud of Carson uh for being one of the National Merit uh program. um he's among 1% in the nation to receive that. So, you know, that's just an academic achievement that will take him a long way in the future as well. And if you look at his resume from my high school career, it tells you why he's >> in a little bit of everything and >> very involved outside of just the academic piece. So, congratulations to him and all of our teachers that make that happen because it doesn't happen with great teachers without great teachers in the classroom. We are also thrilled as I'm sure you saw probably one of our most trending topics uh Mrs.
076Whitley and we will be delivering our nonert of the year tomorrow uh that will be going to the second annual Claremont County Excellence and Education dinner on the 21st uh along with our Franklin B. Walter nominee. Um we'll be going there as well. So I right now we've got 14 seats. We're going to wait to see how many we fill up. If we have any extra and any of you want to go, I'll shoot that out to you. But it is on the 21st at Norland Manor. Obviously, Lita is more than deserving. Um, but what a great representation of you read through Facebook and that makes your heart happy when you see people talking about the years um, kids and people that have been through her classroom. So, >> and let's just keep going. History
077in the making. We had rising competition. Um, another first for us. And look, we've got kids that can go to Portland, Oregon. I talked to Hillary today. Not sure what the outcome of that's going to be, but we had uh two groups that could travel to Portland for um I think it's in June >> Nationals. Um, senior Gabby Kane and junior uh Finn Jones. They got a gold medal. And um the interactive bulletin board, these are over here. So, you've got the bulletin boards that they had at their presentation and then junior Lauren Gray and sophomore Kenzie Frasier got the bronze in that same position. >> Um, so I know that Mrs. Gio is working with those families to see what the interest is in Portland. Um, we'll see. >> Good trip out west. >>
078No, we we dive in and uh we'll have to figure out what that means in the end. But just super proud of those kids, especially that being the educator rising. got nine high school students wanting to get into education and another hard happy moment. We'll hire them all back as soon as they finish four years of college and great kids. So, congratulations to that group. >> My guess is they've all been inspired by a teacher. >> They have been. Yes. And then just keep it going. >> Shiloh Stacy third place in the Ohio Po poetry out loud state finals last week. um just another individual honor and kids just doing different things that we that you guys support as a board for them to go do. Uh which you know that's that's huge. Congratulations to
079Shiloh. Uh and I think you guys all know Andrew came and presented last last month. DECA did go up 15 kids to the state level. I think it was a great experience for him. We did have Julia Faulner who was named a top 12 finalist in the competitive quickserve restaurant management series. Did not advance to nationals. They only take the top five for that, but she was in the final day. And I think all of our kids that went up to that gained something from it. Um and that being a first year. So very proud of a first year program and the accolades they got. And then you guys talked about it. I just I couldn't be more proud of our kids at that business advisory. We kind of as we talked and planned through
080that to put kids front and center. Um and I heard the same things from business folks there. What a great job the kids did of sitting there just being um the reps at the table just to kind of get the conversation started to then them leading breakout sessions. um puts our kids in just puts them in situations that they're never, you know, if they're going to go on and do things like that, it's great opportunity, but man, did they represent us well. And uh you know, the programs that are going obviously don't happen without great teachers, but it takes great kids to sustain them. So, I want to thank the kids that were involved in that, whether they they were just leading the sitting at a table talking or leading a presentation. Got great things
081going on with that. I do want to thank Mr. Dubs and his team for putting that morning together. Danny Dietrich, all the work that goes in behind the scenes to make that day happen. And I do think it was a a new approach. We were a little nervous about it, but I think it it went very well. >> What about the not scheduled shout out to our student right off the rip with the SHP guy? >> Oh, yeah. >> Just casually, you know, he got sat at his table and he, >> you know, he was a middle school kid. Yeah. >> Yeah. that eighth grade group. >> Yeah, >> they were they were phenomenal. >> Yeah, I mean >> Yeah, >> it was I know when I was in eighth grade, I could not stand
082up in front of the amount of people that were in the room for them. >> Yeah. >> And to present like that. So, shout out to them. They were >> I'm proud of them. >> That was great >> stuff. And then you guys covered this senior citizens dinner. We are at 63 RSVPs so far. Call Caitlyn if you know of anybody. We'll push this back out a couple more times before the end of the week. And then lastly, none of that happens without you guys. Um we did go to Centerville High School uh last Thursday and collect our 16th year in a row gold award. 16 in a row for gold award. And that's no small feat. 20, you know, we've got 26 criteria that we're measured on. and for the, you know, for us
083to continue to get that, whether it be um clear goal setting, serving as a united team with myself and Todd and then just practicing fiscal accountability as a board. That is a it's a big application process and it's good to be recognized. So, I do appreciate you guys going up and receiving that and hearing all the great things that are happening in Southwest Ohio schools, not just, >> you know, Gan, but people that live around this area are very fortunate to have great schools. >> Not all not all the regions do that. >> Oh, really? >> As Mike come up the other day, and I believe he's from the souththeast region, I believe, and he wasn't aware of it. >> Yeah. And uh and some of the during our uh USBA executive meeting, we were
084talking about this program, but some of the newer members, you know, they say how much they appreciate it because they kind of grade themselves how well they do as a board, >> you know, and it's worth discussing uh soft. >> Yeah. Because sometimes boards just some districts, they just go through the motions really. They don't know if they're effective. They don't know, you know, you know, how to even judge. Yeah, it is >> good. Again, thank you guys. And then last part of business on my side, we've been talking about the retreat kind of looking at Saturday, May 16th, if you can look at that. I don't know that it'll be a whole day, but we have said, you know, we started talking about this to do it March and then April and obviously with
085the finance side and the legislative things that are going on. And I'm also waiting on the enrollment and capacity utilization study from Craropper. Um I do that will be done in time for this. I know we had talked about weekdays. So if we want to go back to weekdays, we could split it up as well. But sometime in May trying to figure out when to do it. So >> we need to do a doodle. >> We need to do another doodle doodle. >> Yes. Okay. Not and that's why I said so looking at what we would have I think um Matthew Craropper would come down from Cropper GIS to present his enrollment capacity utilization and also the land use of Gan Township that he has dug into as well what's out there what's applicable that'll
086give us an idea of where enrollment's at uh where our buildings currently stand and then also some enrollment projections that I hope are a little bit more on par with what is happening here. Um we would also then that would loop into a little bit of our master planning continued because we've kind of stopped that a little bit that master planning piece until we've got with the renovation the addition of space at Mark Cook. He's taking all that into account as he's looking at his enrollment study and capacity. And then we'd obviously have budget update, legislative impacts, and then really 26 27 and beyond planning. Um, I think we could probably do that in a in a evening session, maybe two. Um, so are there days of the week that are better than a weekend?
087Because it's it's hard. I >> I did pass this one through my central office like we have to but a weekend is not easy I know. So are there days of the week that are better than others in May or should I just shoot out a few dates? >> Shoot out some dates. >> Am I looking like Monday? Obviously Friday is not happen. >> I'll create a doodle. >> Yes, I will. >> If you want to create a doodle that would be great. I did attempt it and it was a knockoff doodle and it didn't make sense. >> I know. I know. I was like, "What is this? This is not >> It was a free is really easy, Brian. >> It was a free version." I think >> Doodle's free. >> You went to
088uh You did doodle. >> Two videos. >> Do you want to doodle and give me some dates? That would be great. Yeah. >> Does that sound like a good itinerary as we kind of work through this to plan for it? Hey, can you um to discuss it all? >> Maybe we could have a Memorial Day cookout or something. >> So, I I don't know even what what we have so far for like again new subdivisions like how many how many kids we getting. I mean, when I drove through this one the other day, I haven't been through there in six months, I think. >> Oh, yeah. We went through there a couple like done. >> I mean, well, I mean, there's so many houses right now. I tried to count and I couldn't >> they're
089going up that I mean >> so yes I mean that capacity land utilization enrollment study demographic study will have it'll have those current neighborhoods as well as anything that's zoned >> residential that's out there but he will yes that will be in his enrollment study his demographic study um I will say that just in talking to him you know when we did this with Future Think starting back in 2019, they were saying 1.2 kids a house. Well, that number is like 0.4 at this point. >> Yeah. And apartments are like 02. But that's that's again demographer. So you're looking at trends and birth rates and all that. So it will have what we can expect from housing. Yes. In it. Um obviously he's looking at birth rates and everything else too in the county and
090understanding where we're at with that. So it'll have it. Um I haven't report heard of >> some like you know a lot of empty nesters moving to go believe it or not I mean from other community you know that they were selling their you know their places here moving into here. I mean our property taxable one. Yeah. >> Um What's that? >> They were >> Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean compared I mean we're comparing to everybody in Cincinnati. I mean that's >> Yeah. It's crazy some other communities but yeah. So I mean it's so yeah we have new subdivision but yeah how many >> correct? >> Yeah whatever. >> His statement to me and I won't quote him was when I do this for districts they're not growing as fast as they think they are.
091>> So I'm okay with that. You guys are too. I think it's just a matter of, you know, >> yeah, >> you have to have some data to support that and make decisions moving forward. And I think that would be he's going to present. Um, now I'll have to work on those dates uh when I get him down to present that. But he will come down and present his findings and could do it here at a board meeting too if we wanted that outside. So, let's kind of I was hoping we could work through it as a board with him to understand it. Um so that we have you know give it >> yes the right amount of time. So >> so early early May would be too early though right >> I will get
092with him. Yeah >> if we did that >> Deborah and I will talk and we'll get some dates together with you guys how's that I I mean it's hard I know at that time of the year it's hard.

So if we wanted to take >> uh the May board meeting and you know extend those just get long too. So not an easy Yeah.
