002second please call the vote Mrs hunt yes Mr Taylor yes Mr Morrison yes Dr fiser yes and Mrs R yes okay we're under presentations all right I'm very excited tonight uh one of the things that we started a number of years ago is when we have students whether they're individuals or whether they're a team uh who go on to the state level and then win at the state level we like to recognize those uh individuals before our Board of Education and we always give those students uh those athletes a small gift from the Board of Education tonight um pretty excited to to introduce Alex dreu Alex you want to come on up here he looks like a swimmer doesn't he and now Alex you knew I was a swimmer in high school too I look
003just like that so Kidd so I want to read a little bit about Alex this is from his coach coach Carrie uh she wrote over the last three years I've had the pleasure coaching Alex for Beaver Creek High School as a freshman in high school Alex went as an alternate to State and swam on one of our district relays since then Alex has worked extremely hard to be a state qualifier and then win his event at States Alex is probably one of the most motivated swimmers I've ever met he inspires others to do their best and is always pushing others to work harder I'm extremely proud of him for winning the 500 free and honored to be his coach I cannot wait to see the great things that he does next year so I want
004to give you a little bit of stats uh behind what Alex has done so first of all 500 free if you don't know what 500 free is that is 20 laps of swimming so uh one lap is one so you got to do 20 of those it's so many that they have counters that they have to put in the water because as he's swimming the last thing we want him to worry about is what lap is he on so um and when you're the guy who wins what's great about that is the counter is the first person that gets the flip so everybody's going off of him so uh that event is the longest event that they swim at the high school level in college they'll swim the thousand and the 1650 we do swim
005the 1650 at a at a winter meet but at the high school uh Championship level the 500 is the uh longest event uh I looked up Alex uh looked at our record board now this was a record board a picture that I took last year and Alex is on that record board uh for the 400 medley relay and I believe you were the anchor for that the freestyler so that's great I want to tell you a little bit about his event at State he won the event by 4 seconds so 4 seconds that means the guy who got second was probably on the other side of the flags when Alex touched the wall That's How dominant Alex was in that um he also swam the 200 free that is eight laps and that's almost a
006Sprint that's that is not in in Alex's 500 when you look at his 100 splits I believe they were like 54 55 55 56 54 so his last 100 was faster so pretty impressive uh but the 200 free is a Sprint it really is a Sprint and Alex got second in state in that he was only he is only 2 seconds off uh the record uh for the 200 free and I believe you're only two seconds off of the record in the 500 free the most beautiful thing about all this is Alex is a junior so we get to see Alex do this again no pressure Alex no pressure uh cuz trust me you can get sick I think you had some illness had yeah he had covid so to be able to come back
007and do what he did is just remarkable so you never if you're a swimmer you want to be as healthy as you can all the way up to that that Pinnacle that that Prime meet and uh even though he was a little down a couple months maybe before uh to be able to do what he did is incredible and the last thing I'll leave you with um they rank all the swimmers in his class in the state of Ohio so all kids in the state of Ohio are ranked not by the 500 but overall how do you compete um I looked that up tonight on swimcloud and Alex is ranked seventh in the state so that is very very impressive he is one of our highest ranked swimmers we've had in history so Alex congratulations
008we are hoping to see you here next year for the same thing and I promise you if you do we'll get you something different than this gift all right so you got to open that up all your so Alex is getting a towel that's got his state championship so when he gets ready to swim the 500 next year that's what he's going to be wearing around his neck going around talking to the other swimmers don't intimidate them or anything but that's good I love it well Alex congratulations thank you so much if we can get a picture of the board with Alex that would be great Alex we're going to go right here while the board come around as well a get picture with you Comey you you're in the right spot you're perfects [Music]
009[Applause] [Music] meeting I told him I said you don't need to stay so he can but of course see you have a great night Alex have have your mom get some ice cream tonight that concludes presentations okay we have no questions or comments from the public I need a motion a second to approve the February 13 2025 regular Board of Education meeting to move second any discussion please call the vote Mr Taylor yes Mr Morrison yes Dr Fisher yes Mrs orano yes and Mrs hun yes items board discussion yes we have two items for board discussion I'm going to cover the first one uh this is the Green County memorandum of understanding uh for koi Trad mine shared path uh this path will be coming off of the road anony and we'll go across in
010front of uh koi Middle School it will not proceed further than than the front of koi will not go in front of Trey Bine at this point uh because it will not connect anything on that side and um so at this point what theou is doing is it allows us to have an agreement that we the district will maintain that property that pathway we will clear it um we'll take care of the gutter in that area um that way there's no misunderstanding of who's responsible for that pathway so really that's all that that is for this evening for that do you have any questions at all about that it's an easyou that a foot path it's a foot path correct yep okay and that's for the neighborhood it's coming off of anony down there where
011anony and Dayton Zena meet it'll be at that corner and it'll it'll action Ovens that are 32 years old 42 year 42 years old we've got Steamers that are needing uh regular maintenance so this is districtwide that we did an evaluation of the kitchen equipment uh and we're focusing on the biggest priorities first which is um those three buildings so in the board package you've got the three items uh which show the process that's mandated by USDA and then monitored by ODU for how we awarded the vendor for this project uh you've got the RFQ uh the award criteria scoring document and then the awarded vendors proposal that that they submitted um this project was bit out to four kitchen equipment vendors for three comi ovens and four convection ovens uh with TurnKey installation um
012obviously while price is important and was the most heavily weighted Factor we did consider uh other things such as the ability to meet the equipment specifications the delivery and installation timeline uh vendor uh experience and references and then warranty and after sales support uh we did receive four proposals from each of the companies three of them were very competitive price-wise but there was one company that just stood out more so with the other award Criterion uh like I said we had identified other equipment uh that needs other equipment needs in all of our other buildings that we plan to address uh in the near future but the purpose of the first phase was just to replace the most uh needed equipment so be happy at this time to answer any questions that you may have
013raise your hand if you know what a comi oven is a what a comi oven so you know what a steamer is right and you know what a convection oven is y so these comi ovens can do literally both of those things at the same time so in one compartment we could be full-blown steaming and then in the bottom compartment cooking a completely different product we could be grilling it sautéing it uh air frying it um and then what's great with these units because they have water supply um you can it's got intelligent cooking in it I mean Who Would Imagine 10 years ago that we have Internet connected to our oven we do um but what's great about it is you can mix moisture and heat and do all all different types of things
014so it really helps so when I talked about the steamers at the um earlier we have two floor uh floor mounted steamers at the high school that they use and we can only fit three 4 in deep fulls size Hotel pans in one of those with these comi ovens we can in each compartment can fit 12 of those within the same area so I mean they're just they really are going to improve the efficiency of our operation so just they're really impressive it's called Comming Comm the oven yep so can you speak to them like Google I mean they they actually have intelligent cooking now you you program it and then based upon how the the end product quality turns out it will automatically adjust saying I want more color or it needs to be
015cooked to a higher temperature and it adjusts your recipes for you so it's really neat so what it does is it reduces the actual manual work involved into keep going and checking the product you know that hey I put the thermometer in it I want to cook it to 160 as soon as you hook at 165 it shuts it down and alerts you so yeah they're really neat cool I love that I need one yeah right I already read so this is uh not just necessarily a replacement it's upgrade as well correct okay yep so so we got one is a complete upgrade so we're replacing two two uh uh Steamers with a double stack comi of it uh and then at the other two buildings Ferguson hall and anony we're replacing one of their
016one of them is two more Steamers that we're replacing with a comi and then we're replacing a convection at um anony with a comi as well so they'll have upgrade on each of those base kitchens is what we call because they the base kitchens support the satellite or the elementary kitchens um so it's just going to really help out the operation tremendously okay so you I've worked with CNT before yeah they're good they are great they are great so and they've got good relationship and they're and they're doing the install as well correct they are well they they will Outsource to CPS to do the install but they'll manage the project to make sure it's they they meet the entire okay uh what they have submitted in that proposal perfect thanks have a good evening
017you thank you Josh and that concludes items for board discussion and you will see both of those it items on for board action later in the agenda so I need a motion a second under Financial reports to approve the following the February 2025 Financial reports fiscal year 2025 amended certificate of estimated resources and Appropriations Deary donations and the resolution accepting amounts and rates as DET ter by the budget commission for fiscal year 2026 move second any discussion so um normally I I pull out my financial report and I you know go over that with you at this point there's nothing really um of note on the financial report we're still waiting for our final settlement from Green county auditor and the Montgomery County auditor um what I did want to point out is the resolution
018accepting the amounts and rates is determined by the budget commission which is this um I'm just going to pull out two or three levies on their um to go over those real quickly with you if you see there's an $18.5 million Emergency Operating Levy and that's the one that I'll be recommending um probably later on probably around June that we renew in November that Levy was originally approved by the voters in 2011 for 8.52 Ms it's now collecting at 6.79 Ms a reduction of 1.73 Ms or a savings of $60 per $100,000 of appraise value the second Levy is a substitute Levy um and it shows it right here at 4.16 Ms I think is what that one is um that one was originally approved by the voter in 2018 for 5.1 Ms it's now
019collecting at the 4.16 it's a reduction of .94 Ms or a savings of $33 per $100,000 and then the third operating Levy it's another substitute um Levy and it's for $1.5 million originally approved by the voters in 2019 for 5.25 Ms now collects at 4.22 Ms a reduction of 1.03 Mills or Savings of $36 for 100,000 of a praise value so what that does show you is houses are built and the valuation of the total property in the district um increases the millage needed to collect the dollar amount passed by the voters is reduced um I know that's something I talk about a lot but then this is actually from from the budget commission it does show that you know slowly but surely those millage amounts are being reduced so um we are also we
020are in um the governor released his budget proposal for FY um 26 and 27 um most districts are experiencing a decline in the state share um meaning a lower portion of their funding will come from the state I looked at um this is all in County um I looked at us Beaver Creek City school districts is the um Beaver Creek City Schools I didn't fly in until DC till this morning so if I Stumble I'm a little tired so anyways Beaver Creek City Schools um we are the only District that we're seeing an increase in both years now it's minimal it's it's not a lot and it's mainly due to the additional items not due to the base cost additional items meaning transportation and preschool because our numbers are are increasing in preschool and certainly
021our transportation is increasing so that's the reason we're seeing an increase not because of the base cost um Green County um career center they're the ones who they're the standout they're receiving a huge you know 12.7% increase um a lot of increase which it's CTE we know the government you know the governor and and all the legislators are they're all about CTE you know so um that's where it's happening but the main issue that we've got is that the this proposal it's going to increase the number of Ohio school districts receiving the minimum 10% share which is what we're we are you know I talk about that all the time how we are at the state minimum it this is going to increase that number from 63 districts right now to 131 districts it's going
022to more you know it's going to double it um and it's not because the districts are becoming wealthier rather it's a result of the state's failure to update the base cost remember when I talk about base cost and how the base cost it's it's relying upon um co-curriculars and extracurriculars and the number of teachers in a district and it's your base cost so what they're doing is the property valuations and the income levels are automatically updated but the education costs are still going back to fy22 they're not updating those inputs and so it makes all of us look wealthier than what we really are so this miscalculation is forcing our local taxpayers to shoulder a greater financial burden further Shifting the cost of Education away from the state and onto the communities so it's just
023that's this is the first you know iteration of this budget it's been put out by the governor and now it's at the house um so I just wanted you to be aware of what's going on with that budget um I'm hoping my email is going to go out tomorrow protesting hardly of you know about what I'm seeing at this point I mean yes we we see some increases but they need to change those inputs um so that you know we don't have 130 some districts going on the state minimum you know so that was it um I didn't think to start keeping a tally when you started listening the amount of millage that um we've reduced on each of those I'm just curious if you happen to know the total off hand I don't know
024if I wrote that I did not write that down I'm so sorry 1.03 did okay 1.73 8.2 to 6.79 5.1 to 4.1 that's more math than I'm going to try to do in the I'll check afterwards but it just occurs to me that that's a pretty substantial reduction when you add them all up you know each one was uh 30 bucks here 60 bucks there and but etty that's just on per $100,000 I think I added up almost $130 per $100,000 oh that's good I was trying to do mental math promises yeah I started too late so thanks is that highlighted at the forums excuse me is that a highlight of the forums the forums will it be highlighted at the forums I think is what he's asking yes yes yes okay yeah absolutely yeah
025I think when we say we're coming back and we need more money we can say but as a percentage of property values which is a reflection of our cost too because our costs go up within as more houses are built value does go up and the milit rate comes down so yep okay okay good okay call the V call V Mr Morrison yes Dr fiser yes Mrs orano yes Mrs hunt yes and Mr Taylor yes we new business it board action so I'm going to need motion a second to amend this section to add item seven where we approve the um April board meeting to April 23rd we move second okay so what we're going to approve now is the employment salary changes leads of absence and terminations certific certified board report classified board report
