026for a non-district person but anyway pikus Club in the district we've been Partners since our founding in 1979 in the parking lot here uh before this building was here and we believe this relationship has just never been better we actually sered the same families you have them from 700 in the morning to 3:00 we have them from 3: to 8: and uh the numbers for what coach Jacob was talking about is are we come into the gyms and do our fitness with the ball program led by your Pike High School Red Devils men's Varsity soccer coach theen Smith um so the numbers for that program are just astounding we visited each School each year for 16 years and we've served over 100,000 Pike School CH children and the cost to the little Club is a
027quarter million dollar but it's been free to the district but of course we would just say that the value of the gift is priceless but so anyway thank you superintendent thank you Mr guys thank you Mr the next um highlight that I would like to share um is when you look at it we have 700 7,194 students in grades K through 8 and through our youth sports we able to provide competitive learning experience as well for 4,48 um kids students in our in our Township K through 8 that's amazing being able to what I and I shared this with our superintendent Dr y said the key thing is they are learning their skills in one of the best facilities in the state and it it is amazing and as as you can see all these
028three um individuals were part of this youth program you know Lawrence you know also competed Lawrence Mitchell you know competed at ihsa you know was a state winner runner up and also at the Collegiate NCA level and Miss iby we familiar with uh Tokyo Olympic uh medalist and Michael Jerell you know um that is o line for the Seattle Seahawks so this they get here from you know being enjoying the wonderful amazing facilities and the programs that we provide in our district thank you so much for the opportunity any questions please thank you Mr Jacob any questions or comments well I um have a comment um again I I I appreciate the the opportunity that I Children and Youth get to uh participate in sports and um in their development um what I would like
029to see obviously is is continuous communication and especially with uh uh parents um and I would hope that uh that that that we were and continuously stay open and remain open to uh any ideas and concerns that parents and community may have um obviously all of us as board members we um obviously are em we're eded in embedded in the community and sometimes uh parents when they see us uh they think we this is their opportunity to talk and share so I would like to see as our youth sports continue that we remain open and keep an open dialogue and positive communication with our community uh so that we can better improve on our Sports thank you sir any other questions Mr Jacobs first of all thank you for the outstanding uh report on our
030sports program in the township um and um especially the amount of uh young people that we are serving those are astronomical numbers um uh is there anything that uh uh you feel you're lacking to maintain the thrust that you are are are are are pushing in the in in the district for young athletes and student athletes I've been blessed being in this just get into this space you know um we meet monthly um with Mr Wilkinson you know just to again how do we continue to become better you know how do we you know and I I wrote that down the communication and dialogue with parents will continue to look at ways to become better and because at the end the product is the student that we saw coming a red devil and we're watching
031that student on a Friday night and Saturday afternoon sometimes you know for semi state so thank you so question that I have is your K through um 8th grade yes man um the numbers I saw here I saw the soccer was 20 participants and tennis was 23 but the other ones were uh 2000s so how do we how do we retain them how do we keep them in Township and not in Lawrence or Cathedral or or Ruff or any of those schools so what what can we do to help keep those students at Pike great question thank you for asking that part of what we've done as you can see our high school football coaches you know Mr Smith Terence Smith our coach is involved so making sure a lot of a high school the
032end product the anend level are involved with our students at that very Youth Level and we've seen coach Bard is done a wonderful job bringing those student athletes and I shared in one of the PowerPoint our student athletes actually helping you know this is where you want to become you know so that is part of what as someone that is being an ad in you know other location that is what I think really helps and preaching we have it here yeah we have what you need here this is you know you know the gift you know of being able to participate in one of the best facilities in the state it's here and also you look at academic successes you know so that matters thank you thank you I think one of the things with
033Miss to piggy back off Miss Tony I think I think I think um that's why I said again conversation with parents because in community especially fathers because the feeder system is important um you know you go to other districts and they got a strong feeder system uh coming right through their youth Sports and youth leagues so that's that's important that we uh build a strong feeder system so that we can get championships coming right out of our our youth league so I think that's what she was having reference to well thank you Pastor kind of I'm going to piggy back a little bit on that I was the number that stood out to me because of my background here in Pike uh coaching softball especially at the middle school level we seeing the 300 that
034are in baseball and softball um I'm glad to see that because most of my years coaching we would get kids in seventh grade and then eventually in sixth grade and the first day of practice was this is a ball this is a m that never they're starting at that point and and you're so far behind and so I love seeing our kids get the chance um to start early I hope we're continuing to grow that I hope we're communicating it in the school cuz I'm probably the only one up here with this dream but I want to go to Oklahoma and watch one of our girls playing the College World Series sometimes so uh that that's what I would love to do thank sir any more questions or comments one last comment uh Mr Jacob
035I appreciate uh what you're doing and I also appreciate your willingness to uh listen to what can you do to be better you know that's those attributes of a great leader so thank you very much for your presentation thank you thank you sir all right that concludes our reports to the board we'll move on to our action items action item a minutes of the Board of Education regular meeting meting February 13th so move Mr President second we have a first and a second we'll go on any questions or comments we'll go on to vote all in favor say I I any oppos motion carries thank you very much next we have action item C human resource report Mr lore due to the confidential well actually we we move sor we be over due to the

039thank you Dr Moore Miss Wilson um it's just a privilege to be here and to see Miss Wallace again I've seen her in the hallways this every time uh we have a new outstanding student I can relate with them and as I look and I see uh Lena Herby on the standout you know um I take pride in knowing that when she was in Middle School they asked me why did you c talk her in the be on the basketball team CU she's a track star and I said because when they think they have a fast break Lena's going to be already down there with her hands up and she's going to stop them so um with that being said um I think that we have come a long way our girls are now in
040wrestling which I take think that's a great step in the direction that we want to take our our team which will hopefully bring others into the pike Community um I take pride in knowing that I was there to scream and yell when the girls um won sectional when they won regionals when we should have won my state but you know I take my hat off to the coach I think that he did an excellent job with what he had when absolutely as a coach who knows how parents want you to put their kid in or who wants their child to do this or the parents are yelling at you this are yelling at but you he stood firm and the girl stood behind him and he stood behind them so they brought Pride to us
041they brought Pride to us and I thank them and I thank you know the fact that we are here to be able to experience it and we got free t-shirts and we so we like that too thank you Mr hoofer all right so obviously like everybody said it was a great great run by our Pike ladies um I I hated it but loved it um I had to miss the uh semi semi-state games cuz I was on a date with my very favorite Pike alumni uh my daughter we were at a concert up in Michigan and I was checking the phone non-stop to see how we were doing and when we were down 10 points it didn't look good but man to come back and you know um almost pull it out that was amazing
042um congratulations good luck to or congratulations I'm sorry for the to the Napa ladies just being able to do that I think sometimes I I love we celebrate our high school students and and it's appropriate but the don't want us to forget the middle school kids that are out there working hard every day also so congratulations to them good luck to the lady dancers and the swimming and Diving just we've got so many great things going on around here you could just make an endless list it was really busy this last couple of weeks um last Monday and Tuesday got to spend two days down at the state house which probably makes the total number of days I've been to the state house three in my life but um we had the icpe day of
043action day down there on Monday and then the isba had their state house day on Tuesday and just I've got to give one little update we fortunately we've seen some of the most damaging bills get killed at this point but there are still not great things out there um specifically just so everybody is aware because I you know not everybody follows this stuff currently the state budget would give traditional public education a 1.3% increase um in their budget for the next coming year inflation is at 2.5% so that is a decrease in our budget when you look at it um not to mention that $160 million of that will be M uh a line item that used to be a separate line item for curricular materials that will be moved into the budget so that
044lessens it even more um so we have um the complexity index I don't have the numbers on how much but it is being reduced we know that hurts our students that that hurts our families um the good news is special ed funding is going up elll budget is going up but there's a lot of not great there so if you care about traditional public education contact your state representatives they do listen um a personal from outside of doing this contact that we've made with some of them and they do listen uh it does matter when you contact so please don't sit quietly don't be a Facebook Warrior please email your um your representatives it does matter um the last one on that is um SB 287 passed SB sorry 287 is the one to make
045all of us declare a party we don't need Party politics in school um and it passed by out of the H out of the Senate I'm Sorry by six votes but it really only passed by one vote because it passed 26 to 20 and if it had only gotten 25 votes it wouldn't have gotten out so it is still close it moves to the house now again please email please call it does matter we don't need that stuff in school boards um I've talked probably long enough but I do um I want to thank Mr enman for running the meeting the other night about middle school grading it was a very well-run meeting it was very educational for me looking forward to the next one I appreciate the thought and the concerns being put into
046there um I really appreciate Dr gatewood's comments at the end I told her had had to thank her for for her comments there U great meeting the student teachers and just thank you to um everyone that donated to Pike and helping make us continue to be Pike strong thank you Mr hoofer Dr Wester I have a couple of items first of all thank appreciate the board for your um prayers and Dr Young for your prayers uh on behalf of my mom her surgery went well now she is recouping and so we are are praying for speedy recovery Dr Moore uh call first thing on Tuesday morning to pray for her and um you know it hits home she turned 94 on Monday and then having surgery on Tuesday so we um thank you all board
047for your concern and your Expressions I do want to say that I attended a um a great meeting uh last Thursday Thursday before last Dr mois Church um on uh leadership and and the current affairs and and our community uh much information I knew but some I did not know as we were educated especially on the um the uh Medicare and Medicaid and that's a big one and so as educ ucation Educators as much as we can um educate our community uh on a lot of things then I think is incumbered upon on this board to do so certainly with uh what is coming down the pipe we had a governor that graduated from here he's an alumni here and uh a lot of us knew him and uh and there were there was you
048know we would give him a good grade on uh governing over the last couple of terms but this Governor we don't know and so the jury is still out on him so we are appreciative for all the information Dr Moore that you bring from your uh Pulpit to help us and to educate our parents and so thank you again board for your prayers and your concerns thank you Dr Wester Mrs Barnes uh as your board member I was happy to visit College Park Elementary School for the African-American read on organized by Dr bowling Mullen um it was an incredible event and her powers of organization and patience were certainly shine uh it was just a shiny moment our young scholars had many questions about my writing process so if any of you students are watching
049Remember write put it away rewrite that is the process it never comes out right the first time uh also on Tuesday I worked with Miss Kelly and also with Dr Bishop and Dr Reed from niola on our board policies uh just to make sure that we remain in alignment with federal and state laws and lastly I always like to say thank you to our donors um it seems like a little bit but it's really a lot the $70 that the Pike Township Education Foundation donated those are manipulatives and for those of you who aren't Educators those are things for students to touch to teach them they learn by touching and some of us are just like that and so to give them those tools to enable them to learn is important even if it's only
