007so cute and we are going to stand here all [Laughter] night UC I'll probably have to send this to you the volume is not working apparently um it's terribly cute I played it for do Dr Townson after the board meeting last month and it was it's it truly is adorable so I'll send it to you separately I apologize maybe we'll try it again next meeting I know everyone she's backing it up okay here we go know what a board of education is do you know what a board of education is I I don't know if you were to guess what that meant what would you think I have noidea what that question is you know super does what do you think a superintendent does by the airplane and do you know what a Treasurer does
008get treasure have you ever heard of somebody called a Treasurer yeah what does a treasurer do like it has like some gold like like treasure like there's a box like a treasure chest and put your gold in there so the treasur probably keeps all the gold right yeah okay that's what I thought too than okay SC I'm I'm recording all of this not thank you thank you no wait I thought you were I thought you were singing it as you can tell kids are far easier to deal with than adults so I'm sorry you didn't get to see it last month but happy Board of Education Month a little late I hope you enjoyed it and have a good evening thank you thank you thank you so much and it is so good seeing you
009here always brinds my day to see you I going to say thank you but do oh how sweet all right up next we got Dr Mon Woods talking about our point of Robotics be exciting good evening everyone um president Monday board members Dr Townson um I am here to um speak to you about what our district has done in the last school year to highlight the experiences of our students in the stem area and um first let me give a oh here's the clicker let me remind you of what stem stands for um stem is an acronym um that highlights the four content areas um or educational disciplines we have science technology engineering and Mathematics at the Intermediate School um our teacher Don ker she has been um heading our uh stem programs and our
010project lead theway programs with our students both fifth grade and sixth grade our fifth graders get stem classes and in those stem classes they basically deal with the the um the beginnings of coding and problem solving and things like that so they use all different kinds of materials she'll give them a problem they have to come up with the solution for the problem and a model and so forth and so in those classes we have about we had about 233 students um last year that went through all of our fifth grade all of our sixth grade go through these these courses sixth grade they experience the project lead the way and that's what gets them more into the uh more uh deeper thinking U discourse of of stem and more competitions and so we had
011about 227 students um last year in the Project Lead the Way program our enrichment takes place after school with our stem club we had 65 students last year now I know when I was here last year to give you this report we had 25 students our first year so look how we've grown um our students are excited about the program this year we had to cut it off um and add another teacher because we have 70 this year so they're excited about it they are very committed to it they stay after school every Wednesday um and if you ever come over in the building just be careful because they use the hallways for the drugs might get hit they do attend the um aerial drone competition each year um you can't take everyone so she
012generally um has them to really work towards it so last year we took 15 students and they ranked in the top five for the activities that they had to do here are some pictures of some of their experiences in the classroom um one of the big attractions that they are excited to work with um last year was the robotic hand they had to learn the cating to be able to use and move each finger and make it do certain things um we were giving them a caveat you cannot just use the middle finger alone it has to have a partner with it um so we had to keep an eye on that um but over here in the bottom you see where they're learning to operate um the small drones and Rovers um up at
013the top they're learning about coating um and then over here they're learning about objects and engineering and so they had to build models and work together to do that project lead the way and drone Club I've got some pictures of them at the Drone competition down here and some of the work that they do after school preparing for that competition so it was really neat to be able to see them do that for our Middle School um we had about a hundred students in their Project Lead the Way program last year they also have the robotics class and Robotics Club about 172 students went through through the robotics class last year and they take 15 um students to the robotics competitions as well they compete in the Miami Valley Regional stem competition each year and
014they're looking forward to going back to that this year I don't know where they placed last year but I know they had fun they also sent me this nice little video oh [Music] right and then to our high school um high school has uh both robotics courses um and the robotics team um in their course they had about 100 students that went through last year again 15 students as their team that go to compete they too compete um in the uh robotics competition at the Miami Valley Regional and U Dr Townson had just mentioned about some changes about them going to Columbus going to Columbus this year so they're really excited about that um some pictures of their activities um from last year um those two pictures are actually from yesterday okay so she gave
015me real time all right um I reach out to the U robotics teachers at each building to be able to get their information so this is what they shared with me so that's good that you can see what they're currently doing too um benefits of the stem education again is critical thinking creativity um helping to build confidence in our students um collaboration and teamwork it really feeds their curiosity and it helps them to become innovators and think outside the box on a lot of the things um one of the things I've been able to see in going in our classes is I know that we have some students that really struggle with some of the core courses but they they get in stem and they blossom and they don't even see the connection of you
016just worked on this in math but look at you doing it here in stem and so it helps them to be able to bring those core courses together and that is it for me thank you for listening and for your time and support how awesome well and it's so cool because especially stem you could just tell from all over the place how important stem is and the growth of kids and I mean and then on top of that they do really cool things like making robots which is something that I can never even imagine doing are yeah it is incredible and we have really really good engineers and stuff that out with robotics too which is really neat so I love it I love it so we're on to our business portion of the meeting
017so with that we'll be on item number nine which is for you Ryan thank you um check with Mr White were you wanting to speak regarding one of the donations like after board approves them yeah do you want to go through your list first because Brad's sitting down here on the okay okay um I ask that the board approve items 9A and 9B as presented I motion second so these are the minutes and then there also uh six six donations which we greatly appreciate and Mr White think wants to get up and say some words regarding one of the donations after we're done with this we move on to vote Mr L yes m yes Mr M yes Mr shley yes Mr Gibson yes speak yeah Brad you want to come up so I asked
018uh to to get this on the board agenda because Brad is penley is is a man who ran the geese thank you we have had the situation and it's every year I learned that they come back and and because of construction we actually had our football players out front practicing and their hands are in Goose droppings and it's not healthy and I mean no one wants their kids to have to go through that um but they were Relentless and Brad pulled up one day and he said hey I can help you and I said give me a card now so one of the things I learned and I'll let him talk in a second is Brad's not just an alumni but he's a parent and he said you know hey I'm gonna I'll bill you
019for the services and then I'll donate it back to the principal's fund which ran would be the first one to tell you I was a romics baby so deficit spending how I work is that why it's that's so I was like sure this will work so it I won't say any more about it go ahead and tell them how it works yeah uh I don't have much to say but that's pretty much what we do is right now is actually the time they're all coming back and it starts to make a mess like he said I watched the kids I dropped my son off to practice he's been in W Caron we moved here in 2015 he's been in your school since um honestly when we moved everyone said be careful and we got here
020and it kind of proved everyone wrong I don't see what the big problem is you guys seem to be doing better and better things seem to be good my son has been in school no problems grades have been great everything's been great the sports have made a tremendous difference in him as far as his growth personality and development um great friends great people great parents uh so yeah I watch the kids roll around on that stuff I work at it every day I know what it can do it's very dangerous the owner of my company has a friend who lost an eye due to the mold that comes from bird Dr it can be very gross in our kids should not be in it and that's really all it is um I'm here to kind
021of support you guys as much as I can I have no idea how or at what capacity but uh I want to be a part of the community that really has helped my son gr so uh I actually have some papers in case but I us a dog if any of you seen run around I just let her out she chases the Gees she's by Command Voice hand commands she does kind of whatever I tell her to do she knows when she gets out of the car to chase the Gees and come back to me she sa around the kids she sa around the traffic the buses and all that but um I take her all over the place we these RC boats and drones and different things to kind of do it um and
022yeah that's it we're licensed and certified by the state they are ferally protected species but we're allowed to trap them remove them or relocate them really anything in any capacity we can help with that's kind of want to St here today moving forward with all these new schools so lucky to get them and it's going to be great for the kids and keep them clean I'm here to help any way that I can so that's it a lot you know it's it's funny there's always a business I mean that's important right guess I should have specifi that was the $800 donation from goosebusters LLC to give proper fantastic and it seems like the are no problem they will be back within the next couple weeks so kind like yeah here yeah Services well thank you
023aot amazing all right item number 10 involves personel good evening evening superintendent recommends that the board approve listed Personnel items 10 a through 10 J I get motion a second motion anything you want to add that uh yes of course we've discussed it prior that um the age for retirement has been moved from 34 to 33 was contacted by 12 people that changed their plans so they could retire early and three of them now are listed on this one so there Stephanie Carter Gail cerr and and Jenny vot all have um spent over the majority if not their entire careers here one is leaving early if he the beginning of the earliest that you can retire not the full uh 33 34 or 35 and two of them are moving towards 35 so Gail k

025to compete at the state level the trip will provide students with an opportunity to showcase their talents and skills at a state level competition they will also benefit from exposure to outside communities and competing against students from schools all over Ohio is there anything that you would like to add now our kids always do really well and end up going to National so I'm excited to see how you do yeah it's great CU we do this every year yeah well so I got so I got second place but the girl that was in front of me she was from Centerville and they always went like a lot of awards so she won two times when she went and she won a group and her single one which that was line that I so she chose
026her group so then I moved up to first place so now I'm going to so I got second place but I still get to go so now I'm first place got a local celebrity here what was the um competition for you I I did um presentation individual and then my my boyfriend he did uh um C+ C++ and and he won robotics very all right move on to yes yes yes yes Mr yes all right the going to do number 12 so move right on to number 13 which is do or Char thank you I'd like to recommend that the board approve the West Carolton School District organizational chart is presented very color it is didn't make too many changes some important on just making sure titles are correct and um we updated I think
027the last time we updated it was 23 so was time for a refresh all right Mr Gibson yes Mr yes Mr yes Mr M yes Mr sh yes all right item number 14 is about the CTC board so I need a motion and a second um that the board accepts the January 23rd 2025 Des of autumn Harvey from the Miami Valley CTC school board and appoint Lori Gibson to the Miami Valley CTC school board from February 5th 2025 through December 31st of second yeah you want to explain that sure um so we originally thought Autumn was resigning um that's what we had information um from Autumn but then that changed and then she decided to go ahead and resigned so we had appointed Lori and then had to Uno Lor and then reappoint Lor so
028now you should be good well I'll let you know um if there's no other discussion we'll go to Mr yes Mrs nor yes Mr M yes Mr yes all right item number 15 deals with L Porter Jack um yes I'd ask that the board approve as presented the resolution declaring an emergency waiting the statutory selection process for design professionals and authorizing the agreement with L Porter Architects with the design of certain storm damage repair work second anything you like to add that yeah this is related from the September 27th uh when hurricane Helen came in and it took down part of the high school that was under construction at the time Le Porters our current architect and their subs that do the testing and everything that we pay through them are the ones who are
029on site so we're reutilizing them since it's the same building um and number 16 I'll just say it now then that way we don't have to say it again but then we're approving shook construction as part of that too since they're the ones who build it to begin with and all their subs and they're the ones rebuilding it again um all the money that we're spending on these two will be recouped okay I won't say all because we have a deductible in there but it'll be recp recouped back from our insurance company through a builder risk claim um hoping to hear on Friday have a meeting Friday morning I'm hoping to hear when that settl will finally be insurance on that do you have to go through FCC for that no we our district holds
030a policy for the Builder's risk um ofcc kind of steps back on something like this on a claim um just because it's outside of their scope because they've already approved the building to be built so on this part we bring our own folks in survey the damage decide how much we have to take out and then we rebuil it back up to the specs thatc is already approved so then they step right back into it great all right this Miller yes Mr Money yes this sh yes Mr Gibson yes Mr yes I know you talked about it a little bit but item number 16 talks about sh yep and um I'd ask that the board approve as presented the resolution waving competitive bidding based on urgent necessity and authorize an agreement with ship construction company
031to repair storm damage second nothing more to add I'm guessing right same thing good all right we move straight Mr M yes Mr sh yes Mr Gibson yes Mr yes Mr yes all right we'll move right along to reports does the have any um same as usual um the caring closet is yeah the carrying closet um we're cleaning it up right now we're um trying to make some plans to expand either physically into the other schools um or you know to be determined um but we'll be reaching out to the the other schools the principles and whatnot um and delegating those um you know responsibilities between the three of us and um I mean we've gotten a lot of stuff we've got a lot of donations so thank you um and that is all I
032have okay I actually have stuff to say today so um J kind already said it but are we the people competition was last Friday um the high school won third place out of eight um which is very impressive and then my unit unit four received the highest score out of everyone and this was very exciting so we worked very hard and it's just like studying you have to know everything about everything so um it it was really exciting and then um om Solon Ensemble also this past Saturday I got a two on my solo um the caring closet um today I went with Victoria Wagner our um the junior F president and we made an announcement on the West Carson High School news about it today so that way we're hoping to get more people
033that are coming in that we know need it um and then also um The High School Musical Mean Girls the auditions for that are next week on Monday and Tuesday okay so I don't have much to say except Culture Club is having their performance February 20th at 6:30 p.m. and I will be in it I'll be doing and then oh parent teacher conferences were today and next Thursday so that's all I have to Sayad happy February what what day was that Culture Club February 20th 63. unless they move is that the one where do the Sala daning am I getting this mixed up with Spanish 3 yeah yeah they have a separate assembly yeah that's what I thought yeah okay I'm not I'm not fully okay I know when you set the flags it makes
034a lot more sense all right well did you guys have anything to add um we're going to be doing a zoom meeting on February 15th and we've got Dr Kathy McFarland she is the Chief Executive Officer of osba she is joining us uh Jennifer Hugh she is also joining us and she is the osba lawyer um and we have another guest which is uh from that's going to be our osba president El um she is joining us as well so so I'm I'm very excited about it I think it um they want to hear the kids so the kids we talk wow that's a star set the cast too because they will listen I mean they do they do a lot when it comes to being in the state house trying to try to get
035things done so that's really good to hear um does anyone have any committee reports than all right so a week ago last Wednesday there it was the um District leadership team meeting um and it was um eventful as always um so if I had to summarize I'm going to say loving data get the connection with your cookie right because data is at the heart of everything we do I wrote it down there you go um and so there were a lot of letters thrown out there and Dr Townsen was going it means and I was writing them down I can show you my little notes I have most I like the mtss r i f i no t t t TMI too much information at times anyway um but it was a very very interesting
036um they did a building leadership team meeting they modeled one and then they gave time for the each school to kind of do their own um and I learned something and I wonder if you all probably know about it did you know that there's after school tutoring offer three times a week at the high school yes okay well I guess since I'm not there I did not know that but as a board member I thought that was something that was very I'm I'm hoping do do most kids about this yeah they say it on the announcements wonderful I think that is an excellent thing and parents if you don't know about it I encourage you now you know to encourage your children to go because again how can you complain about the schools if you're
037not doing something to help that's all I got to say about that word does anyone have any other committee reports okay mine's very quick it's another legislative update I don't have much to say though um I know the big thing and Ryan you might talk about it a little bit even though I guess they really don't have hard numbers yet but of course the budget they're talking about the for this budget and uh the stay house and I some of them are trying to cut things down when it comes to school funding some some of them is trying to do phasing I don't know exactly what's going to happen I the you know crystal ball to see what's going to happen in our future but um it's tough trying to talk about funding and you
038mean Everyone likes to have a little bit of money everywhere and it seems like schools might be one of the ones that might get hit with that so we'll see I mean we still have a long ways to go for that um I know I guess DWI listed his recommendation I did not get to read it did you get to read it was it like he wants to fall upon the public schools really yes which will be in direct conflict conflict yeah that's exactly what's going to happen because so I don't know who will win we'll see yeah yeah that's good to hear though I'm happy that DNE is very supportive step forward and he wants to do this wow that's great to hear um I know uh there's a few Senate bills and a
039house bill that you mean they none of them are on the floor yet of course but s Bill 3 is uh talking about leveling state income tax to Flat 2.75% that remind me a lot to some of the teachers you know to me at least uh Center Bill 62 and House Bill three both relate to the school bus safety act um adding on the uh the fees if you uh pass a bus or what not and they should yeah as they should and then uh funding as well for uh all the changes that might need to be made for buses so they had a long conversation about this the last few years and now they're actually putting things down on paper and I'm excited to see because like Miss Janine said uh 20 20 mil
040hour law is one thing but there's still people flying around school buses and causing a danger to kids just trying to make a home that uh I'm happy that someone's actually doing something of that so um other than that I got nothing for the legis nothing more at least um any other committees I think all right on to you comments um just a couple things I'd like to congratulate our students who were at me the people and Oma um they always make us proud and um wishing luck to our kids going to DPA and Robotics coming up next next month and then also um our new web page is going to have a live feed on it soon that'll be exciting so they keep adding a little bit um and I'm looking forward to seeing
041what that's going to look like and that's all I have fantastic Brian just as you mentioned just real quick on the state budget um it's it just came out a couple days ago so we haven't seen we haven't seen District byd district simulations um I mean the one thing that I read was that like ballpark the like the amount in dwi's proposed budget like in terms of the increas is for Ed for K12 education is maybe 1 and a half% each for each of the two years so um so you know we're not across the state schools aren't expecting um you know a lot of big increases I mean um as you mentioned Matt Huffman the speaker of the house he hasn't made you putting a bunch of money into public education is not his
042top top priority to say the least um so I mean oaso osba Bassa you know there'll be lobbying for us the next five months and um a lot of negotiating and Lobby in the next five months and and we'll watch it but um you not expecting huge increases U the first a funding for the nextt two years yeah and and I mean just to add a little bit to that I know also in a lot of the committee meetings there's a lot that's talking about voucher programs and things like that expanding those so I mean it's pretty easy to see that the Senate has a little bit of a different idea okay I keep moving along there's no comments from the uh Education Association or the classified employees Association so we'll move right on to
043Central staff want to start have no comments please drive no comment I just have to say congratulations to all the groups froma ATA and we people and Kristen and Haley and um you think we'll get any contracts for our acting jobs I mean that were okay they were impressive wait till next time I might yes I have no more comments all right see that we have no General comments from the public we'll move right along to board members we'll start start okay um I want to congratulate the teams that that went to om and they did so well and we the people taking third place that was amazing good luck to our robotics team and our retirees um this is C make sure get everybody's name this K and Jenny bot and Stephanie Carter we
044wish them the best of luck in their retirement and I attended Board conference on on Saturday and uh County and I want to give a shout out to Devon because I was sitting with someone at lunch there and he was an attorney the W state public schools and he said I hear you guys have the best human resource director therey he said he said they speak very highly of them there thank you fantastic all right we'll move right along um I wanted to um apologize for missing the last meeting I spent about six days in Georgia with my daughter buying helping her buy her first car so any of you shot for a car I don't think it's that fun so I would have rather been here to be honest but I did get to
045see her so that's a good thing um she is I'll be going back in March and I won't miss a meeting for that trip because she is a music teacher in her first year and her um her fth graders a of Nemo as a support and see that couple other things um this kind of relates to what you were talking about with the governor I think this is correct he appointed John hou to replace take advance and I thought hou is probably the front run to be governor next that won't happen now so the governor's race is going to be wide open washingt and then the video that you made just thank you for the appreciation this will be the last year I here so I certainly appreciate all the years that you guys have
046honored us this is no exception the videos takes a lot of work J appreciate you doing all that no problem even though you guys kind of box the song thank you I know what's in your heart your heart that's all that really matters that's all all right moving um I just want to Echo everything the congratulations to the med people Bunch um the so and emble Oma um Good Luck to the BPA Robotics and our winter sports people who are going right along um on that note if you want to be in Spring Sports you need to get your forms and your physicals done and all that because they'll be coming up when is the meeting for them meeting for spring I am not sure that is okay um last night I was uh at
047my Southwest executive osba meeting which I'm a part of and U I got to uh speak with Mary Cleveland she is the osba president elect and she is from cincin um she is going to be on our Zoom meeting um with kids so uh she's a really great person and you know I've been on the board for 26 years or something like that and never have I known an osba president of the entire State and she is going to be it and she is just a good friend of mine and just the most lovely woman um so she I personally invited her to the zoom she is so excited here about the kids and how they fit in with our board and uh uh and the round table and everything so I'm very excited that
