001call this meeting of the Madison Local School Board to order. And we'll start with the pledge of allegiance. >> I pledge allegiance 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. >> Mrs. Melissa Walker >> here. >> Mrs. Cterman >> here. >> Mr. Moer >> here. >> Miss Amy Walker >> here. >> Mr. Porter >> here. >> Can I get a motion to adopt the agenda? >> So moved. >> I'll second. Discussion. >> Okay. >> Mr. Moer. >> Four. >> Mrs. Melissa Walker. >> Four. >> Miss Amy Walker. >> Four. >> Mrs. Scotterman. >> Four. >> Mr. Porter. >> Four. >> And can I get a motion to approve the meetings from the
002last board meeting or the minutes from the last board meeting rather? >> So moved. >> Second. >> I'll second. >> Discussion. >> Mrs. Melissa Walker. >> Four. >> Mrs. Conterman. >> Four. >> Mr. Porter >> four. >> Mr. Moer >> four. >> Miss Amy Walker. >> Four. And presentation of certificates. >> None. Do >> we have any visitors who would like to recognize the board this evening? >> Okay. Administrative committee reports. We have nothing for legislative. Do we have athletic board of control? >> No, we meet next week. Okay. Sorry, Doug. Student representative is not here. Facilities. >> Good evening. So, I got good news. We are finished with the move of all the classrooms for Mifflin, East View, and South. Um, got 56 moves done as of yesterday. So, right now, we're just going
003through and getting the loose items here and there, getting things transferred transferred from South and East View to Mifflin for storage facility and and whatnot until until we decide what we're doing. Um, everybody stayed healthy. That was a good thing. There was only six of us doing the move. So, um we'll get the truck returned on Friday on Thursday. So, we'll save ourselves about two weeks worth of a rental. Um other than that, things have been going well. Um no real issues at the moment. Not to say that. >> Um we are working on some different projects throughout the district. Uh one of them is going to be lighting issues. we've or not issues but upgrades. We've talked about doing LEDs in our facilities. Um most of them have been switched out. Right now we're
004going to focus on um devices that turn off your lights when you're not in use. So motion detectors in the restrooms. Um we've done some pricing on those items. If we go with something that's ceiling mounted, it's a lot more expensive than having an actual light switch style motion detector. Um, so that's something that we're going to implement uh throughout the high school and the elementary schools. The middle school already has those features built in. Um, so that's something that we're going to be working on throughout this summer and into the fall. But other than that, that's about all I've got right now. So, thank you. >> Thank you. We have nothing for board policy, student achievement. Um, so we only have two reports this this month. So from the uh Madison adult career center,
005they had 50 out of 52 recent certifications. Um 16 of those in nurses aid, one in cosmetology, four in registered dental assistant, four in registered medical assistant, five in registered phabbotomy technician, NCC credentials, which is multiple tests per credential. They had 16 and three welding certifications. Uh they recently celebrated 137 students at their annual graduation ceremony who were enrolled in the 2526 school year who either completed or were on target to complete soon. 38 of those students were also enrolled in the adult diploma program. And the most recent completions they had 11 certified nurse aid completions, five dental assisting, five industrial maintenance technician, four medical assisting technologies, six phabbotomy, six precision machining, CNC technology, and two gas metal arc welding. And then from the preschool, I think this is the first time we've gotten one
006from them since I I've been doing this. Um, at the Madison South Preschool, 52 students graduated from preschool and will be headed to kindergarten in the fall. And they had 49 incoming kindergarteners graduated from Safety Town as of about a week ago. So that's it. >> Uh, finance committee. >> Uh, I mean, we met last week, last Monday. Um and we talked actually mostly about the um levy resolution that is on pages 3 to 5 of this agenda. Basically um the discussion was on the fact that it was it's no new money whatsoever. Um if this passes it's a renewal of the two levies. Um, what it is is a combination of both the 7.5 mil levy that was passed in 2023 and the original 6.9 mil levy that was passed in 1992. Um it
007combines those to one renewal. And we discussed that as was also discussed at the um board meeting that we had the special board meeting to hopefully avoid some levy fatigue and from the community levy fatigue from the board and get them wrapped up into just one renewal. So even though um if you look if you read through it, it'll say 14.4 form mills. That is a combination of those two combined, the 1992 and the 2023. That's that was what was voted on. That's not the effective. What we actually be collecting is closer to 8 because that the 6.9 mil levy is been reduced to about 2.45 and the 7.5 mil is about 5.61. So we're not collecting that 14.4. So that's why it's absolutely no additional money at all. to the taxpayers. It just combines
008the two. And we actually we also talked a little bit about the the only thing that it effectively does is it kind of cuts one year off of that 2023 levy that we passed because it wasn't supposed to be renewed until 2028, but by combining them, >> it just we, you know, we moved it back >> a year. So, um, that's what we talked about and you know, we we we just talked about the fact that it's actually no new money, just a renewal >> and that we're not meeting in July. We're going to meet again in August. >> Yeah, we're not going to meet in July. So, did anything else? >> I think that covers Yeah. what we wanted to discuss. >> And we've had some good good um attendance. Um, one of our
009audience members has been at every meeting. We've had our union president at every meeting and some other community members have come. So, it's it's been a good thing. >> Okay. Superintendent's update. >> Um, just to follow up on uh Mr. Neon's uh discussion about uh completing the move. I just would like to uh publicly thank um Mr. McVicker, Mrs. Neon. um they really did a lot of the logistical work of planning for that and uh put us in a very good spot well in advance of the end of the school year to to pull that off. And um you know with anything there were a few bumps in the road but those bumps were very few and that went very smoothly and so uh I appreciate the work they did uh in advance and and
010during the move and then uh Mr. Neuron and um his crew. Um that was a lot of physical labor and a lot of work u moving all those classroom. So I'd like to thank them uh as well. Uh just wanted to comment on open enrollment. Um we we are through that process of approving andor denying uh open enrollment. And um I I just want to make it known publicly those are very difficult decisions. Um the decisions are kind of made for us. Um but nonetheless, that doesn't make it any easier to to tell a parent who's had their child here for the past 2, three, four years, we don't have room for you this year. um and and particularly fifth grade. Um we had to turn away 18 students uh who applied for open enrollment
011due to not having space. Um had to deny uh a number of special education students because we don't have space. So um we do everything we can to accept as many of those students as we can. Um unfortunately when we don't have space um we have to say no to those folks. Um, but that is not easy. and and uh the the parents that contacted me um to to ask if we would reconsider um you know I I followed up with them and um what I just encouraged them to reapply next year and you know if if if it's possible for their family I encouraged them to move into the district and and then they would be um you know clearly admitted um in that situation. So, just wanted to share with you um that
012was a little bit more of a difficult uh task in dealing with open enrollment this year than what we've had in past years. And it it comes down to staffing and when we're cutting staff um we don't have the same availability to accept open enrollment students. So, um, and then just the last, uh, thing I wanted to share, um, we've talked about this, uh, a little bit, um, as we, uh, embark on, um, updating our strategic plan. Um, specifically the goals and the goal statements. Um uh it is uh I I am planning unless um this is a major issue um for any of you as far as attending um I've got got it tenatively scheduled for July 22nd which is a Wednesday um starting at 5:00 the venue to be announced. um if if
013maybe get back to me tomorrow if if that's an issue for any of you. Um and kind of the what I thought we would do um would be to review our current strategic plan, the entire thing including the goals and some of the actions that we have completed uh in response to those goals. um and then discuss goal options for the future update. Um select those goals and craft goal statements around them and then uh at the end discuss some potential actions that our action teams might put in place uh to support those goals. Um so again uh you know that the strategic plan is kind of our framework and foundation for our decision making moving forward. So um get back with me tomorrow whether that works or not for you and um if if
014it's not working we'll look at another date and time and that is all I have. Thank you. presentations. Hello. Good evening. Um, I passed out a little um review of what I'll be talking about. Um, I'm not going to read it all to you, but as director of curriculum instruction, I'm also in charge of professional development. So, a couple of things um I just wanted to talk about was um the fourth one down, we had five calamity days that went over um the f the five we had previously. So, we had 10 calamity days in total. Five of those days um we allowed teachers to do virtual PD days um so they didn't have to uh come into the building and make up their time. they were welcome to because at that time they were
015starting to pack up and things like that but um they could also work from home those days. Um another thing that we did was when um all the teachers had chosen their positions at the elementary level, we were able to meet with um all the kindergarten teachers, all the new kindergarten teachers together, all the first grade teachers and second grade teachers over at Madison South, which will become the primary building. and they were able to go into their spaces, kind of see what their needs were. We talked about resources and aligning everything. And we also did that with the new third and fourth grade teachers over at East View. Um so that made um a lot of things go really smoothly because they could talk like, "Okay, we want tables instead of desks." And um
016with the move that was just very helpful to get down on paper um as we developed some checklists for our moving crew and our custodial staffs. Uh just a couple things under curriculum instruction there. And then on the back um I also oversee the temporary substitute lure. Um we have 65 uh subs in our district that are under that. um that's a non-bachelor's degree. Um it says that I've interviewed and recommended, but all those interviews were not done this year. That's a um compilation of the last couple years. A lot of them stay on our list and then I can just send Med Ohio a bulk list of those substitutes. Um other things that we worked on, um we I oversee students on reading improvement and monitoring monitoring plans. Those are called RIMPs. Uh we
017have students that will be on rimps coming into the seventh grade next year. Uh the only way to get off of a rimp, you're put on that in third grade, actually K through three. And in third grade, if you do not achieve a 700 on your Ohio State test, um you continue on a monitoring plan. So these are students who have not um hit that 700 proficient in reading. um and we have to um provide specific interventions for those students. So we have students um coming into the seventh grade. We also have a large group of fifth graders coming in. We have 73 coming into fifth grade next year. That is a large class. Um so that seems to be um it's a it's still a little high. It's too high. Um, but our fifth
018grade teachers do a really great job of um getting those off. We have only 25 going into the sixth grade next year on ramps. So once they hit that 700 mark, they get off of a ramp. Um, just some other things. Mr. McVicker and I worked with the building leadership teams um, and met with them to address any concerns with the move and just worked on labels. We color coded everything. We um we we streamlined everything. We gave checklists to the custodial staffs, the moving crew, and they've all done a phenomenal job. So, just really happy with how that turned out. And then also planned uh the Mifflin farewell. Really well attended and that was a really good um opportunity to say goodbye and see a lot of people. So, that's about it. Thank you.
019>> Thank you. Mr. Blankenship, you have food services. >> Good evening. >> Hey, we did it. Now, if I can run the clicker, we'll be all right here. >> Maybe not. Hey, there we go. Sorry about that. >> Anything else? >> You could just do this. >> Uh food service. Um we're funded predominantly by um not not by general fund. The only general fund involved in food service is an occasional uh transfer for bad debt uh which is noted there and it's later on in the agenda um on the treasures items. Uh generally we get most of our funding through the national school lunch program through reimbursements for free, reduced and paid. And then um there's also a commodity program where the USDA puts money into a a pot of and then we actually use
020a co-op to help us manage that. So we're with 500 other districts. And what commodities do um it supplies a specific commodity like chicken for example or beef and it covers that cost and then our cost all we have to pay is GFS to deliver it and whatever the processor is that turns it into nuggets or whatever it is. It gets a little more complicated than that because we also have to balance uh white meat, dark meat, and all that. So, uh there's a little bit involved, but that helps us to the tune of in the neighborhood of $100,000 a year um for for commodities. And this I think this was the maybe the fourth year in a row that the state is actually paying um the reduced price. So if a student qualifies for
021reduced meals, it would normally be 40 cents for lunch and 30 cents for breakfast, but the state is actually paying that 40 or 30 cents. So we get the full reimbursement um between the federal and state. Uh just to share the p the perspective of how big uh food service business is within the district. Uh between labor and all of our other cost, it's it's about $1.4 million um a year. And the goal of food service is to break even. And uh in fact there the state has rules the USDA has rules where we can't have more than 3 months of operating expenses on hand. Um so their goal is for us to break even. So we haven't with what's coming um next year we'll have increased food costs but with um the Mifflin closure
022we're going to let the prices ride for another year and I think we'll be okay. Uh this is just basically a list of what we we do which is there's a lot of data involved in managing the school lunch program and the state comes out uh once every 5 years to uh do an in-depth review and we're scheduled again 29 and 30 for that which will actually look at data from the 2829 school year. Uh you may have seen a post on uh Rich and Source. Uh each year we send out we're obligated to send out the uh public notice of our free and reduced um which we can start taking applications after July 1. That just reflects um it's based on household size. This reflects a family of four where those cut offs would
023be for free and reduced. Currently, since the state is picking up the reduced price to a student, it's still it's free if they're reduced. So, um it's a benefit to apply for sure. Um we do take those applications. And then the other way that uh students are um qualified for free and reduced is through direct certification. and we we run um a data connection with the state whether they have state benefits and um then they'll automatically qualify if they show up on that list. Uh we get I get this question from time to time. Why don't we do um community eligibility provision which is C which is everyone is free. uh we'll see those post from time to time and the reason is um our ISP it's the identified student percentage which is simply free
024students that are directly certified. It doesn't count uh any reduced students and it doesn't count any students that are free or reduced by application. So while while our free and reduced population is about 65% when you use the ISP it's only around 52%. And there's a formula involved then. So if if a district has a high ISP say 67% time then they multiply that times 1.6. If you had a high um ISP then all of your meals would be covered. In our case, it only covers 83%. So, we would be reimbursed at the free rate for 83% and then we'd have to eat the rest. And to in with our numbers, that adds up to about $20,000 a month in less less than revenue we would take in. So, $120,000 a year or so um
025or $200,000 a year or so less is it's hard to balance uh the books that way. So that's why we haven't done that. Uh this year, this is our numbers. Um we serve 330,000 meals, which is 2 thou over a little over 2,000 a day across the district. Um while our counts went down a little bit along with our enrollment um I looked at participation which is the percentage of kids that are eating and we improved again. Uh so we're our participation rate is still going up. This I mentioned our prices um which we we plan to keep the same. On the right hand side is the reimbursement rates that we receive. Uh challenges uh food costs food costs are tough to deal with. Um they've gone up like everything else. Um food waste is
026a challenge. uh we have to try to guess how many are going to eat today and uh hopefully we uh guess correctly cuz we don't want to be throwing a bunch of food away uh and employee costs. So the uh there's some USDA rules that um which I'm going to talk about in a minute with sodium and calorie limits. They're very difficult to meet and building next year's menu. It to it took me a a lot of time to try to get those to to match. Uh meal pattern requirements, which we talked about last year, more uh the details that go into that are are pretty challenging. Um milk rule changes, which I'll touch on in a minute, and unpaid meal debt. our unpaid meal debt. We started the this school year with a little
027over 38,000 and we finished with over 49,000 in uh debt. So the the inactive debt, which is students that have moved on, um no longer enrolled, is around uh 20,000. And that's what the the 1900 um is dealing with a portion of that. We don't we don't try to eliminate the entire 20,000 because there's a chance that if someone leaves they may come back and at that point hopefully catch up. I mentioned calorie and sodium limits. Um, the sodium limits are for grades K5 or 9:35. And I don't expect you to know much about sodium, but it's that's low and it's becoming lower. Uh, it's 1110 going to 9:35. So, uh, it's tough to meet the sodium limits. calorie limits. Also, um some of the things you might like to see on the menu, then
028when you you pair those together, then all of a sudden you're over 600 calories. And that's something we can't do. So, building menus, that's always a challenge. And in the fall, not this coming fall, but the fall of next year is when sodium limits are going down again. So, and sadly, I think that will just affect taste. will have more complaints. Uh the milk rule changes. So in January they passed legislation that we could offer additional milk. We were limited before to uh 1% or skim. And you had to offer both one flavored one white. Um in January they passed legislation that we could offer whole milk 2% you would think better tasting milk. Um the issue was when they passed that legislation in January they only allowed it at lunch and not breakfast. So
029at breakfast your limits were still 1% and skim. Well, our milk coolers only hold so many and it would be really difficult logistically to say you can't take that one at breakfast, but you can take that one at lunch. So, we didn't change anything June 8th. So, uh just a couple of weeks ago, um now they're going to let us offer that at breakfast. The challenge is that if we do like the difference between whole milk at 150 calories and skim at 80, you can see if you only have cannot serve 600 calories in a lunch, you you're losing a big percentage of it right there. So, it's it's a challenge to implement for because you still have to comply with this calorie rules. A couple of things we do to to try to save
030uh money is offer versus serve, which we talked about all those rules that you have to offer, but they don't have to take everything. So, and it's a cost savings. If they're just going to throw it in the trash, then we would prefer they didn't take it. There are limits which are on there um of what they do still have to take. The other thing that we do um is share tables and they there's a lot of rules around how those operate but we can actually if if they have to take fruit for example and they it's a sealed uh fruit for the day and they don't want it they can put it on the share table at the end of the lunch we can actually take that back as a cost savings. Um the
031menus, we're on a four-week cycle for lunch and a two-eek cycle at breakfast. It's all on our website and there's an app uh as well. And all the nutritional information that goes along with each meal is there. Um we did a survey again this year. I asked students 7 through grade 11 and uh we got 169 responses. So, um I'm trying to implement some of their requests into the menu. Uh grade level buildings will actually provide us some opportunity to tailor the menu to the age where you had uh K4 before. A fourth grader likes a lot more things than a kindergarter and our menu, you know, was what it was for the school. So, we'll be able to tailor it a little better. I think um there's been a lot of rumors that the
032federal government is going to make some additional changes uh with more um proteins. Uh the problem with that is if that happens that those are more expensive. So it would be increased cost. Uh we had 29 contracted employees this year. um 26 next year. We have four to five subs we relied on almost every day. Um and the staff is awesome. That's how we got got through the year and you have any questions? >> So, thank you. >> Thank you. >> All right. Item I, approval of donations. Can I get a motion? >> So moved. a second. I'll second. >> No discussion. Um just maybe thank you to uh the Altrusa International and um the middle school PTO and Katie Brener for those items. Mr. Moer, >> four. >> Mrs. Codman, >> four. >> Mr.
033Porter, >> four. >> Mrs. Melissa Walker, >> four. >> Miss Amy Walker, >> four. And then we have uh treasures business. I get a motion. >> So moved. >> Second. >> Discussion. >> Yeah. Just under number four. What What's the use of blanket and super blanket? >> Um um I'll do you want me to do that before I get to number four? >> The blanket and super blanket. Okay. So here's here's the deal. Um, if we know we're going to spend, we don't know how much we're going to spend on electricity, right? But we know we're going to have to have a purchase order for electricity from Ohio Edison for the year. So, it's a blanket purchase order when you know it's like one vendor, but you you don't know how much it is. Um,
034and the super blanket is the same vendor, but um, man, I forget. I'm sorry. I I'm going to have to get back with you. I there's it's a little it's a small nuance that >> something that may exceed the expectation of cost and then super coverage. So, that makes the electric. I do know when when it comes down to the auditor, they they super blankets are a lot less scrutinized than blankets. >> Yeah. >> So, I'll get back with you on that exact difference. I'm sorry. I just I'm having a a little bit of a lapse of memory here. Got caught off guard. Um monthly financial report is submitted. uh the revenues. Um it's I I keep saying timing on things all the time, but really, you know, we're on track, but had the real
035estate settlement come in as anticipated, April would have been much higher, but we had that delinquency. So therefore, we got the um I don't know what's going on my my mind. I'm losing my track of mind. We got the uh >> I'm sorry. I I'm losing >> guess I'm having all >> It's rough getting >> the loan. >> This is horrible. um delinquency. The the delinquency we we got an advance. There we go. That's what I was thinking. >> We had the delinquency and normally that would have been on the on April. >> Mhm. >> But it didn't. So we asked I asked for the advance in May. So that's why that advance is the $700,000 for the local taxes. That normally would not have been there. That normally would have been in April. So,
036yes, we're on track, but the uh month comparison is off due to the timing. Um, I will tell you that June is going to be lower probably because they're called, now they're called threshold costs. They used to be called catastrophic costs. Um, the state has the state gives us so much money depending on the category of special needs students. So like the limit was like $32,000. Well, when we spend more than that, we get to submit to the state we've spent above the threshold or we're spending catastrophic money. Well, this year and then they reimburse you a percentage this year. The percentage they reimbured was less than last year. So we got 25%. Basically, we spent $300,000 on special needs students above and beyond what the state provided for education. We turned that $300,000 into
037the state for reimbursement and they gave us 75,000 back, which is 12,000 less than they gave us last year. Um, so the revenues for June are probably going to be a little bit lower than what they were. As far as expenditures, um, right now the way it's sat at the end of May, we were just exactly where we were last year, pretty flat on expenditures and had 27 days of cash on hand, which is the same as um, last year. But in June, budgets are going to be a little bit off because um, there were almost twice as many retirements as I had anticipated. So when you have retirements, you have severance and you have their payoff of their contract. So salaries are going to be a little bit higher in June. But we ended
038May right on track, which is good. It's where we should have. Um and if you look at the the fiscal year comparison, we're right at where we were last year and right where we are forecasting within a percent. So, um before I move on, are there any questions on the financial report for May? Okay. Um number two, revise permanent appropriations. Uh what we have to do is the per it's a fancy word for the budgets. We have to basically say here's what we're anticipating spending on a budget for the year and submit it to the county auditor and it has to be done every year as a permanent. We're done. But the budgets we're not going to submit anything. So that's what the permanent appropriations I sent you guys in your packet. That's what that
039is for this year. Um the next one is temporary appropriations for next for FY27. Basically, we have to submit it to the county auditor as a budget for a preliminary budget for next year. we do it at 50% of what we've appropriated to spend this year and then in August or September we submit it I submit it to the state for the permit for the year. So it gives us basically July and August to figure out exactly where we are and what to submit to the state and that also matches the forecast. Um number four we talked about blanket and super blanket purchase orders. Um, I'll have to, like I said, I'll get back with you on the difference between the two, but basically it's when you know you're going to spend money with somebody,
040but you don't know how much you're going to spend. So, you put in a blanket purchase order. Tell you what, an example. Um, here's what I think it might be. I got to remember like standard plumbing and heating, we don't know we're going to have a bill because we don't know when we're going to have break breakdowns. So, like a um an electric, we know we're going to have a bill every year. We just don't know how much every month we just don't know how much it's going to be. So, we have a pretty we have a pretty good idea based on past history that would be, you know, we're going to have a bill a blanket purchase order for, you know, $250,000 for electricity standard. That's more like a we don't know if we're
041going to have an a repair or not. We anticipate because we do every year, but we don't know if we're going to have one in December. Maybe we won't have one till March. Maybe we'll have two boilers go out and it's going to be huge. It's more of a like I'm not quite sure an electric you're sure it's going to happen. You're sure you're going to have one every month, but I'm still going to get back to you with the exact language. Um number five, authorization of the treasur to make necessary appropriation modifications and transfers. It's just um basically in case something I have to make a modification to send to the county auditor. This gives me the authority to make the modification to send to the county auditor. Number six, um insurance quote from
042Reinhardt Walters and Dann Danner. This is for our liability and fleet insurance. Um I was able to make a few changes and get um quite a bit of a savings. I upped I was able to up the uh deductible by $1,000 on a couple things. And by upping the deductible by $1,000, it saved us 10% which is about $16,000 on our um premium. So that was good to get a nice savings by upping a deductible by a grand. So that's what that is. Um and I sent you the all the packets with what everything is. you know what the amounts covered are. Number seven, approval of the transfer of $1,930 from general fund to food service fund for current and active debt for students over over 19. So when Mr. Blankenship talked about that $20,000
043of of debt that is out there um you know 1,900 of it are kids that are 19 years old or older. So we're never going to get it back. Um the other $18,000 um is kids that maybe they're in fifth grade and maybe they went to Mansfield and maybe in seventh grade they'll come back here. So that's you know that's where that remaining hope hoping we get it back is. Number eight is the resolution um of necessity for going on the ballot. I have to this is we I discussed this during the finance committee. It's basically just combining the two renewal levies into one renewal levy for November. Number nine which is um is the taxation policy which we had discussed you know the board spent weeks and weeks and weeks going through that. We
044discussed that one change needed made and that's put in here. Um I believe that is Yep. That's it from me. Are there any questions on any of those? Not on any of those, but it does have to do with the levy. Uh with the county commissioners continuous uh reduction in property taxes, how much do those county commissioners cost the schools funds? How much did we lose because of that? >> Roughly about $168,000 a year. >> Yeah. >> Every year. >> Thank you. >> No problem.

And, uh, I'd just like to publicly thank her for her longtime service to the Madison schools and to our students. Uh, she was a fantastic teacher and and, uh, just did an excellent job with her students. So, um, with her retirement, she'll be sorely missed.
