A special welcome to our Bissell and RB school families tonight who have been rec um for our students who are going to be recognized tonight. Um what an exciting evening for all of you. I hope everyone is ready for their 3-day weekend as you celebrate or spend time with your families. A few weeks ago, an invitation went out to the community to tour the Brexville Broadview Heights Elementary School, which showcases a new prek through grade 5 elementary school. This school is similar to the one we hope to build in our community as part of the Tiger Legacy Project. The last scheduled tour is tomorrow, Thursday, April 17th at 6 o'clock p.m. So, there was a flyer
003as well as um the email that went out in Parent Square. So, if you want to sign the QR code, um you can still sign up last minute if you want to uh attend with us. Now, our new pres uh the new preschool through uh grade six elementary school will be centrally located to simplify family logistics, strengthen family school connections, and enhance the access to school events and resources. Students will be assigned to separate houses based on grade levels such as a preschool and kindergarten house, a first and second grade house, a third and fourth grade house, and a fifth and sixth grade house. The school's master schedule will determine when students access shared spaces such as the cafeteria, art and music, and physical education classrooms. Cutting edge technology and inclusive design will ensure that
004our students have access to age appropriate, engaging, adaptive, and innovative learning spaces. control entry points, upgraded security technologies, and supervision by our school resource officers and staff members will ensure the highest safety standards for our Tigers. The district has listened to feedback from the previous bond proposal and made key adjustments. Concerns about traffic, parking, and environmental impact at the Dodge campus has been addressed. The scope of the project was modified to balance educational and athletic needs while reducing overall costs. Additionally, the district prioritized long-term solutions to minimize future maintenance expenses. This updated plan reflects input from residents and focuses on what's best for our students and our community. The plan includes the construction of a new prek through six elementary school to replace the three aging buildings that are costly to maintain, ensuring students have
005modern learning spaces with updated security. It also funds critical upgrades to athletic facilities, including renovations at Tiger Stadium and home softball field as well as relocating some athletic facilities to optimize space and reduce maintenance costs. This project shaped by community feedback balances educational and athletic needs while keeping costs reasonable. The estimated cost is 3.88 um4 mills or about $135 per year for a home appraised at $100,000. By making these improvements now, we can avoid higher costs in the future while creating safe, more efficient spaces for our students. Last week, the board officially approved the construction of a new 1,039 foot access road on Chamberlain Drive along with a dedicated bus exit on Chamberlain Trail. This thoughtfully designed layout enhances safety and efficiency by separating car and bus traffic, improving the experience for students, staff, and
006families alike. We're incredibly grateful for our community partners and the city of Twinsburg for their continued support and collaboration. Last week, the city completed the second reading of the land swap agreement, and the final reading is scheduled for April 22nd. These steps bring us closer to turning our vision into reality. We understand there have been many questions, concerns, and comments shared by the community on social media regarding the Tiger Legacy Project. So, we're inviting you to join us in person to learn more and see the plans firsthand and have your questions answered. So, you can join us on Tuesday, April 22nd. There will be two meetings. One at 9:30 at the community center and another one at 6:30, which will be at LG room at the high school. We're grateful to our Twinsburg High School
007students who have volunteered to provide child care for the school age children during this evening session so that it will be easier for our parents to attend this session. Your voice does matter and we hope to see you there as we continue to build a better future together. Thank you. And that ends my report. Thanks, Mrs. Crawford. Good evening, board. Good evening, everybody. Wow, we have standing room only. It's like a rap concert or something. Um, thanks for being here tonight. We have a lot to celebrate and a very special person to introduce during the personnel section of the agenda. We'll be introducing for the first time our new principal at RB Chamberlain Middle School. So, that's later in the agenda. If you miss it, if you happen to leave, uh, just check the live
008stream to see, um, the introduction of our new principal. Um, it is time to start registering your children for kindergarten. So, if you happen to have any little ones at home or your neighbor has a little one or your family member has a little one, it is time to register our class of 2038. Believe it or not, moms and dads, um, 2025 can hardly wait to get out the door and 2038's coming in the other way. And so if you have a little one or know a family member who has a little one, please go to our district website under the four parents dropdown and there's information about registering your child. Um on June 2nd and 3rd at Wilcox Primary School, we will have uh kindergarten registration and screening. So if this happens to apply
009to your family, um most important is to start the registration process because you can't get an appointment for June 2nd or 3rd unless you started the registration process online. So, if you could kindly do that, we would appreciate that um very much so. If you happen to have a child in either of our preschool programs, either IP or KPPP, you do not need to reregister your child. They're already with us. Um so, please just disregard what I'm saying. And there will be screening done during the school day for our preschool children. So, uh we look forward to uh welcoming our class of 2038 pretty soon. It's, you know, this school year, I cannot believe it is almost May. it is zipping by and before you know it will be starting another one. So, um again,
010thank you for your attention with respect to uh registering your your kindergartener for school. Mrs. Crawford mentioned that tomorrow night is a pretty important night for us. We've had parents go with us to Brexville Broadview Heights Elementary School last Thursday. Mr. Strickland and Mrs. Egan, Mrs. Hamilton, and myself um met with a a group of our parents and uh we were hosted by uh principles uh Colleen Toth and Chris Hartland. great opportunity to see the inside of this prek through five elementary school. And the best thing I think for both of us was hearing the feedback from our parents, ideas, concerns, thoughts, because that helps us as we move the project forward to be able to design something that's responsive to our families. So, if you have any interest at all, tomorrow night at six
011o'clock, we're going to be over at Brexville Broadview Heights Elementary School. Um, if you've missed the um, weekly update where I had the information, just call my office, let my administrative assistant know you'd like to join us, make it simple for yourself. We'll add your name to the RSVP list, and uh, hopefully we'll see you at Bxville Broadview Heights Elementary School tomorrow night at 6 PM. Also want to give a shout out to Superintendent Jeff Harrison. They have been amazing. Uh, this is the fourth tour that we've done at their elementary school. They're just very welcoming to us and are very excited to share what they've done. um all the good things, all the things they wish they would have thought differently when they were building their school. Uh so it's been a great experience
012for us. But uh ops can't say enough about uh Jeff Harrison and his staff over at Brexville Broadview Heights. So we thank them very much. Um as Mrs. uh Crawford also mentioned, these community conversations are really important. We were out and about talking about the Tiger Legacy Project. I hope you notice the board's out in the lobby tonight. Um, if you have any interest at all of learning more about the project, it continues to evolve here. Please come out either 9:30 next Tuesday, it's at the Twinsburg Community Center or 6:30 at the high school. Um, the one at 6:30 will be livereamed. So, if you can't make it, um, we will have that um, live streamed for you. Maybe that's a little easier for your family circumstance. So, um, please uh, take a look at
013that. There's actually a flyer on the counter on the way out if you want to grab one for yourself. As I said a minute ago, it's hard to believe May is almost here and with it comes all of these end of the year activities. It becomes just such an exciting place. Not not that it's not already exciting, right? Um but even more so. So, our prom for the class of 25 is Friday, May 2nd, which is in just a few weeks.

So, before my RBC students and families leave, uh we're going to go a little out of order tonight because we have somebody very important to introduce. And this person is going to be the new leader at RB Chamberlain Middle School. and I thought it would be very appropriate if we had some RBC students here to meet your new principal. Um he will become the new principal effective August 1st. So Mr. Reese is still here till the end of the year and then he's going to
037retire. Um but when Mr. Reese retires, we have selected a wonderful new person to be your principal. And this has not come just as an easy decision because I can tell you this has been months in the making. We have involved many many people. We've had about 60 administrators, teachers, classified staff, students, parents. Uh we went to um this person's current school. And I'll explain that in a minute because we wanted to make sure what they said in the interview is actually what they do um at their job. And we found out that is exactly the truth. And um so this evening, board of education, it is our pleasure to um introduce for the very first time our new principal at RB Chamberlain Middle School effective the 2526 school year, Mr. Ryan Bulma. Please come
038forward. So a little bit about Mr. Bowmont. Um I have to read it all. Okay. Um, first and foremost, Mr. Bowmont is a tiger. He graduated from Twinsburg High School long time ago, 2003. Um, guess that's not that long ago, but a couple years back. So, he is a tiger, true blue. Um, he lives in Twinsburg with his beautiful wife Katie. And, uh, they have two wonderful children, Ellison and Hudson, and they're here tonight. And they are Dodge Tigers. And so, this family really is all in, right? Uh, so we're excited about the fact that um, Mr. Mr. Bowman and his family uh live in our community. Uh that means an extra special something when that happens. So, thank you very much for that. Um he comes to us after having uh most recently served
039as assistant principal at Harmon Middle School. Harmon's at the Aurora City School District. So, when I mentioned we went to um our candidates uh site to see if what he said in the interview is really what he does, I have to tell you, you are a rock star over there. I'm surprised they even let us go and um interview them. We interviewed teachers. We interviewed students. We interviewed the principal, Mr. Obramovitz. We interviewed parents. We interviewed support staff members. And every single one of them couldn't say nicer things about Mr. Bowmont than they did. So, uh, check that box, too. Um, before that, Mr. Bowmont was assistant principal at Shaker Middle School, and before that, he was assistant principal at Ann Arundell County Public Schools in Maryland. Uh so that's where he actually started his
040career in education. He was a science teacher at the middle school, worked his way through getting his um administrative degree and then became an assistant principal. And then right next door, he is assistant principal at Harmon Middle School. And we are absolutely delighted that you picked us um and that you are coming back home uh in an official capacity now as the new leader at RB Chamberlain Middle School. So I want to ask you to have a few words this evening. I absolutely do and thank you so much. Thank you all very much. Uh good evening members of the board, superintendent powers, administrators, teachers, staff, families, and community members. Uh it is truly an honor and a privilege to stand before you tonight as the newly appointed principal of RB Chamberlain Middle School. Uh this
041opportunity means more to me than I can fully express. Uh because it's not just any school to me. Uh it's it's my community. It's where I grew up. I I have this written I'm I'm going to put that down because this this means a lot to me. Um I grew up in Twinsburg. Twinsburg is a part of who I am. When we left, we knew when we came back, there was only one place we could be, and that was Twinsburg. I love this city. I love the school district. It was an OP. This place shaped who I am. Um, and when we were moving back and looking for property, we said to our realtor, it's Twinsburg. We know our kids want to go through Twinsburg. We want them to have the same experience that we
042had. We look around, we see people that care about education, care about their community, care about kids. And that's what I'm all about. I care about kids. And that is a pledge that I will make to everybody in this room that I will put your kids alongside my kids.
