023values it at then they um the person that bought it can actually claim that their parcel is not worth as much as as it's valued and once it hits a certain math a math problem it's basically a math problem um for us um for these businesses then we F we file a complaint and they it goes and there's usually a settlement somewhere in between um like I said this has been going on for quite a while but um just in the last year the legislation passed that they needed the Board of Education to approve them um so that the Board of Education members actually know what's going on um so it's not just um Mr Miller and myself approving them with the attorney um so we we we have hundreds of them when it starts
024and it just gets to a certain percentage of evaluation difference before we bring it for a complaint all right any questions or comments just to clarify Mrs snowberger as you said it's a math problem so we don't we don't pick and choose who we file this against we apply the math problem and if they fall within the math problem they they are Yeah we actually take it one step further so that we don't have any bias on our end um the attorney actually gets the original list he'll tell me okay you know x amount of people have filed a thing to lower their value and we don't even see the parcels until after the math is finished so that way um Mr Miller and myself don't have any you know bias towards this business or

028motion to approve that so moved thank you Mrs stof second and Mr chinaki uh questions or comments yeah just uh real quickly so when we started the building projects with our budget there were several alternates because at the time we weren't sure um what the costs were going to be and what the project um timelines were going to be when it when it comes to the cost we reached a place uh recently where we knew that we were able to add some things back in and this is an example of updating our green Primary School to last well into the future and um I know replacing the windows the shades and the exterior sh signage will modernize it and bring it up to the other two buildings that are being built so again these were
029alternates that we were able to add back in because financially we're on budget and uh just real quick I see Derek from Hammond is here if you don't mind uh just kind of explaining how the difference between the new windows how they are kind of incorporate a lot of safety features versus the add-on you know like Mr Miller said you know we were able the budget can afford this and that's a great thing um the bidding for all of these projects has just gone extremely well for this District which is a blessing but at one point we were looking at you know there were going to be existing windows and we were just going to paint the frames the old green frames to try to at least get rid of that color um and then
030put a a film applied safety protection for the first floor um but the budget is going to allow for all new windows so the new windows will have laminated glass is basically that film is built into the the glazing itself the window itself which is a safer um better product and uh again from an energy code um we are bringing that building completely up to speed to match the uh the two new buildings is from the exterior standpoint so it's a it's a really good thing and um while I got your attention here we're starting to get back on the site work as the weather break so we are on the home stretch uh towards finishing both of the two new buildings and as of next week we will start uh renovation for area D
031which is going to be the new preschool wing for the primary so wow everybody's on schedule we're on budget and we just need uh hopefully really good weather this summer no rain any questions yeah it looks nice thank you thank you thank you d uh anything else Mrs snowberger Mrs stov yes Mr chinaki yes Mr Campbell yes Mr Cohen yes Mrs Finelli yes motion carries 5 to zero thank you uh item K the superintendent treasury recommend the Board of Education accept the following donations uniforms from Mr and Mrs Josh oferrell to the V varsity boys tennis team in the amount of $857 46 do I have a motion to approve that so moved thank you Mrs Finelli second and Mr Cohen questions or comments Mrs snowberger Mrs Finelli yes Mr Cohen yes Mr chinaki yes
032Mr Campbell yes Mrs sto yes motion carries 5 to zero thank you uh under new business the consent calendar note items under the consent calendar are considered routine to be enacted under one motion there'll be no separate discussion of these items prior to the time the board votes unless a board member requests an item be clarified or even removed from the consent calendar for separate action we have no nothing to add so do I have a motion to approve the uh consent calendar as presented so moved thank you Mrs sto second thank you Mrs Finelli questions or comments I just wanted to um recognize a few individuals here this time of year is always bittersweet because as a school year comes to an end some of our longtime staff members decide to to retire and
033move on to the next chapter and it's obviously bittersweet because we realize that we're losing um great individuals that have big shoes to fill but we also are happy for them as they um have earned their retirement so I would like to recognize Mary lnn Rockwood uh Mary Lynn has served the district for 35 years at the conclusion of this school year um Dave Meadows he has served the district for years and finally Linda magu has been a longtime employee of the district and she is finishing up her 28th year so we wish all of them well in their future endeavors and thank them for their service to Green Schools all right excellent does that mean you're getting older when your kids teachers are now retiring it's like man oh man wow um all right
034Mrs uh snowberger Mrs sta yes Mrs Finelli yes Mr Cohen yes Mr chinaki yes Mr Campbell yes motion carries 5 to zero uh Item B the superintendent and treasur recommend the Board of Education approve the amendment two for soul Harris day in the amount of 467 $1,178 to be paid out of the building fund 004 do I have a motion to approve that so moved thank you Mr chaki second and Mrs stof Mrs snowberg or I'm sorry any questions or comments uh just real quickly similar to the last um change order that I spoke of we originally weren't quite sure at the beginning of the project how far we would be able to go with the primary school in terms of uh renovation and updating and we weren't sure exactly what the bus garage was
035going to look like so the Architects were able to add these projects um in and this number represents um the dollar figure to uh start working on updating the primary school like we spoke and the bus garage good so it's exciting times because like Derek just said uh to do a project of this size and to stay within budget during all the different things going on in the world is obvious obviously a a a reflection of Hammond and soul Harris who've been great Partners throughout this uh process Mrs snowberger Mr chinaki yes Mrs stof yes Mr Campbell yes Mr Cohen yep Mrs fenelli yes motion carries 5 to zero thank you uh any visitors that want to speak this evening if not we will uh move into the board accommodations uh Mr chinaki thank you

039protective mats but it was just it's you know a August and the school year can't get here fast enough because it's it's it's really an in inspiration and I think it's a something that our community can be very very proud of and selfishly both of my both of my boys will get to experience both of the buildings uh for their Bulldog career which is which is really really nice so um hats off uh hats off there so that's all that I have Mr Campbell um I won't steal Sally Thunder when she talks about the math tournament team and the trophies that we racked up there and my oldest may have claimed uh claimed the trophy for mental computation but you know I'll let her I'll let let her should read that well if that's not

049also super just like green choirs yeah very nice um just a couple things I mean you know national champions that's pretty I mean that's really pretty cool that's really cool uh I know they competed in the Nationals last year but they weren't I think they had somebody finished in the well at second I think it was their top uh finished last year so that's that is uh that's pretty amazing um pretty amazing for that for that to occur anyway as we go through some of the other stuff uh mostly through the building things uh the GPS renovation is going to begin uh Derek you said what at the end of this month right at spring break is when it starts next week or next week and uh and that'll run through the end of the
050end well people will see that through the end of the school year it'll run through the end of the summer and going from there and we just want to remind people that yeah there is going to be a little bit of inconvenience uh as we move throughout that um throughout that building to to get that up to speed but um it's just going to be it's just going to be a little pain and then and then it's going to pay off in Spades at the at the other end of that there'll be um a few place things displaced uh but I want everyone to understand that uh from a board and administration as well as with with ham and construction uh we are doing everything possible that to minimize the disruption and there will be
051really no interaction between any of that um that'll kind of be sealed off from the students and and that kind of thing so you know all the workers that uh will be on site during the school day we'll all have their uh you know a successful background check and they'll all be uh they documented in as terms of who is there uh at any given time so we just want to make sure that everyone knows we're taking every precaution uh possible to make this a uh minimally invasive uh procedure as as we go along um and then probably the last thing is uh you know as we kind of start building up a little bit of excitement a lot of excitement actually for the for the new buildings to come in I think it's uh
052I mean it's it's you know the first one in 20 some years that we've opened and that's going to be we'll have the a ribbon cutting ceremony on August 21st for the elementary which is on a third Thursday we so Run grey Bill and then on Friday before the first football game on August 22nd we'll have that for the middle school and the community courts right together usually they're they're done at the same time so we will be uh getting some information out through that uh I believe um our Communications people will be uh interacting with Hammond and and soul Harris to make sure that all that comes together and that's a celebration worthy of the new buildings so um as we kind of uh make it towards Spring Break and kind of our last
