001thank you enjoyment to Pledge of Allegiance I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all right please my Lord Jesus thank you for this evening and the wonderful weather that we have but more importantly prepare us for the coming school year help us to be sensitive teachers be sensitive to the children to the need of the students and that we're able to meet that we'll go beyond just the learning process but we'll develop young him that uh of integrity and [Music] lubricant live thank you for the time give us wisdom as a board give us the right decisions with giving all the praise all right future board meetings August the 8th August 22nd
002and September the 12th all that is beginning the school year revisions on the agenda we have a number of additions to the human resource report and I think one item of their whole business is added public recognition anything tonight yes I do actually Dr Kuhn wrote something on this I don't know if he wants to talk about it and be reimbursed and I thought that was the last part of me well yes so there was a there was a technology situation you had to refresh so I'll go ahead and read this from Dr um all 42 of our buses went through their annual inspection for next school year in all 42 past so we wanted to say great job to our mechanic Kyle highly Melissa ball and all of our bus drivers for staying on
003top of the bus maintenance needs throughout the year and this summer so again we do have a great team with our transportation department and we just really really appreciate them and thank you Dr Kenneth for writing that down yes it was on there last time if you refresh your computer but when I looked it was blank and then the refresh if it's theirs to make sure that all happens that way so again that's all I have for that but I think I think the transportation department for a whole lot yes why because they've been refreshing right and actually they told me how to do short meetings School recognition nothing compared okay the public comment on agenda items if not I'll take a motion to prove minutes from the meeting on the 11th second all in
004favor say aye approval of financial reports uh questions on claims if you'll notice there are some claims in there that would have been like Bond claims for the project like the Southwest some of those types of stuff I moved to approved claims on the second time all right payroll yourself a single one and see yeah this is the first payroll of the new fiscal year so that just kind of shows you some of that that would include some summer school stuff we're just gonna say from last minute of course the one to two payrolls that we had we had a lot more that were part of the uh all the ecas are again so this is quite a bit less than the last time also [Music] all in favor of approval say aye all right
005Financial assembly there yes I just gave you the SMA cash flows from the end of June the only change difference there is that the revenue the grant revenue does reflect the July estimated ADM number with the new dollar amounts that were passed in this last legislative session so it is showing what dollars we would receive for an estimated ADM of 21.41. so in October when we have our actual ADM account that number can go up or down depending on what our actual opinion will be at that point in time we haven't started negotiations because we can't start until September 15th and that does not include any of that yes that doesn't and that's always been on there is there's been no potential increase on certified salaries yet estimated in that so you said you plugged
006in the new ADM ring together I think comparison so if you look at it that's hard to try to see but uh you know we're getting with our current ADM we were getting 1.4 million which we have a little bit of a higher in them than what's estimated because I think at the end of February we're at 21.91 and with the new amounts what is that about 1.4 a little higher about 32 000 more a month uh with less APM but more dollars from the increases in state funding so if we had a potential of staying flat two nights at 290 is where we were last spring and there will be an additional 50 students they're paying dollars that are not attributed in this calculation but on the flip side if there's less than the
007200 or 2141 then that will be less money that we would end up getting back in the later months to reconcile that and there's one other calculation that we don't know about yet either that's the curriculum curricular materials textbook shorts yeah so we do not have a number for that that's not that factored into this and we won't get those numbers until November we've never had to factor that in there so that's going to be brand new for this I think there'd be a slight amount of pushback on that well because it's so those dollars that we that those dollars that we'll get for textbooks will not be any part of Education fund followers those will go into its own fund those are critical materials upon with those dollars we receive will go into that
008however any expenses that aren't covered by that will come out of an education problem but obviously that's a great legislative bill that uh yes so that's a lie and as far as updates on that we're going into budger review then sure so at the last meeting um you guys reviewed the Green Bay fund at this meeting we just kind of go over the operations fund and so I laid it out there for you as a proposed budget in our operation for that is reflected in the advertised column and then to the right of that is what we adopted for 2023 just to give you a kind of comparison of some of those accounts most of the increases are going to be due to increases in salaries and benefits to those personnel plus some increases just
009caused by Price inflation on some things like this year we've already spent fifty thousand dollars more in gasoline and what we did in the previous year so um that's all laid out there for you which gives you an estimated proposed budget of 9.9 million dollars which last year the proposed budget was 8.5 8 so an increased for a million dollars again remember these when we talk about budget the we're talking about Appropriations and so that means that's the ability to spend those documents that doesn't mean you will actually spend those dollars and if you spend more than that then you have to get additional Appropriations ask for through the PLS yes so on the part of helping build that budget also is the other parts that kind of go with that which uh is in
010your packet the capital projects plan as well as the bus replacement plan both of those have to be advertised before we have our budget hearing 10 days before the budget hearing those get advertised on the Gateway website I put in a date September 12th as a potential for our budget hearing but that may get pushed back uh another organ or so one of the things I'm trying to get a little bit more confirmation on is our bonding process because that'll impact our debt service and I want to make sure that we use impact our budget for 2024 and so we do have some Grace as far as timelines are concerned I don't believe are the final date that we can have a budget adopted as in November and so I like to get it done
011in September but with those things that are happening with the bond process we may have to push it back to September October but the capital project plan lays out basic capital projects and needs throughout our buildings that are over ten thousand dollars and our bus replacement plan reflects uh what buses we are up for replacement uh through their 12-year life cycle that doesn't mean that they will necessarily get replaced at that point in time but that estimate estimation goes out in six years for five years sorry a little pessimistic on the pledge of Technology yeah the first one was kind of a stab in the dark because inflation the last two times we've bought us as they went up about 12 each time typically I put in about four percent increase which I did at
01220 25 26 27 28 2024 was kind of a sad a little bit but I would not be surprised if there wouldn't be close to 115. we need to approve anything uh the only thing is just to prove the like I said we'll have to advertise the bus replacement plan and capital projects plan I just asked that we go ahead and approve that advertisement and that is without confirming the actual public hearing like I said we it doesn't have to be advertised until 10 days before that date so we have some time to do that but that would give us some flexibility of when to advertise that and go ahead and do it now I'm going to accept thanks all in favor of approving the permission to advertise say hi and right next up would
013be HR I need some water yeah let me just pass these out that's an idea just read it yourself laundry all right and a resignation we have uh Hoover Baker bus driver in the South nutrition miracle paraprofessionals Shark Creek also Eva Simpson paraprofessional at Southwood Elementary and Katie McClure PE teacher at Southland High School underemployment we have Alex valata music teacher at Metro North Amanda Stevenson five-hour cook at Southwood Chris Crum bus driver in the North Diana Rocky temporary English teacher at southford High School Jennifer nestler temporary kindergarten teacher at Metro North Nicole Powell Fair professional Northfield High School transfers Kimberly McAdams transferring from Southwood High School cook to Southway Elementary retirement Kathy Goldman English teacher salmon high school but notice she has informed this early that we attended this coming school year Paul coaches

016appreciate her letting us know early that will give us a plan and I did talk to Mrs Lewis today if we will be posting that probably even before Christmas to see if there's any of those some of those teachers that are graduating midterm so we can have that lined up for the 24-25 school year so I will be posting that early and again we thank Mr Billman for that she has been with us after this year will be 35 years so we really appreciate her work and I will say humor Baker Mr Baker bus driver I believe he's talking about retirement even though he put resignation so I just will mention him too so we appreciate his service over the many years being a bus driver also simple yeah superintendently yes the mask on here
017so we'll go ahead um I do have just a few things I want to talk about uh first of all again just the summer projects appreciate um see Polly Dr for keeping those moving a lot of things going on and I kind of share some of those things give you some highlights and pictures every once in a while too we talked about it last week so I don't really have any other updates right now except though that the Southwood ethos the external installation the finishing systems I believe that's completed at Southwood now they started at Moorefield of course the the parking lot this Metro North was going well just have to get the stripes done on that Southwood roof is being worked on and some other things that I mentioned last time I also just
018want to give you a little update our registration for the 23 24 school year started um actually it opened up slightly early before Monday I was trying to uh I think 11 15 p.m I believe Shirley said but we have 42 percent as of 3 P.M today have already registered so 42 that's really really good for that early this is only Tuesday but just opened up yesterday so that's great that does not obviously include the students at whites because they don't have to register so we took that number out of there also just wanted to mention too hopefully people have seen the magazine that has gone out Laura Langley borrows of the people that helped with that the people that checked it out and all the different things that was a great publication his autism
019okay a lot of them going out and so you never know when as far as the mail but it's getting out had a lot of positive comments about that and even at the fair talk to some people and they were getting it during the fair too and that was very positive um also I will save the flexibility waiver until we talk about the calendar because then I'll explain that a little bit more at that point so that's why all I have at this point at this time a drink yeah so we updated our science curriculum that we brought to you and we had it set for two weeks and offered Community input and probably July wasn't the best time to get community but I think lots of people were busy but I would now ask
020for your chance to vote on that so the recommendation is to modify we're still maintaining the original one but we're adding sabbaths to our six through eight science curriculum again this is a teacher Choice principle approved and so it's been through several steps as possible I learned to improve the science fair so I'll second that all in favor of approval say aye thank you and then I I gave you um cut off the presses Island data has been released um real quick before I jump into it um the state of Indiana allows schools doesn't hold schools accountable for kids that aren't with them for a certain number of days so if a student comes to us like the day before they test we would still test them but their score doesn't count on our accountability
021percentages I don't know if that makes sense and so the data they gave to us includes all of those students and so this data that I'm giving you is as good as we've got right now but I would expect it to change this a little bit because it might be a student that was with us 100 days we really need to be 162 days or whatever and so um so you can see the state averages and for comparison purposes you can see what we do to compare to other schools in the area I guess I'll just pause and see if you have any questions about any of that the four on the front are three through eight actually science is only put myself on the spot here science is only like five and seven fourths
022and and social studies is actually in one grade I think that was six oh no no no no four or five science is four and six and social studies is five I'm 50 sure fifth grade yeah I'm pretty sure because I know fourth grade is a science grade and I think they don't do it the next and so forth and sixth okay I can get to that program later needless to say they don't test all three through eight for science and social studies and then on the back um uh when you when a student takes biology which in some schools they take in eighth grade some they take a ninth some Tenth um at the end of that they take what they call an end of course assessment which is this island biology School so
023so those are all the students that finish biology this year somewhere throughout the year and that's what they took it and that's our scores there generally for us most most kids think of a freshman song it's just one picture we try not to beat this over our heads one way or another it's not like it's a end-all it's just uh help us to get a taste of where we are and where we want to meet um and I feel like it's always important to bring the state and other areas around because nobody likes to hear a 40 pass rate right and so let's see keep that balance that's good to say well well above State average on some of that above State average on all of it yeah yeah that's always been a goal too
024to make sure that's at least one standard for another standards hospital but that's one difficult that's it thanks no items under new business but unfinished business we have for the revised 20 23 2024 school calendar all right so the calendar that we had that you adopted on January 24 2023 basically said it was something to change due to current and or possibility legislation and at the time we were assuming that we would not get the waiver because we really did not know and so we put in a couple of things we did say that our staff development days which we have those three would be e-learning but with the waiver we really had two different things that were granted to us by the State Board of Education number one is and we can use our
025extra minutes to do this that development on those three days one in September one in October and one in March and so those days will be only professional development also in October we will do the Parent-Teacher conferences but there will be no e-learning during that time and so the one change on the calendar is on September October uh March we just took out the word that we took the backslash off and we also took the word e-learning off okay the other change was we took out a subject of change due to at the top there right underneath of course this canceled is becoming learning from the day of the cancellation we took the language out about the legislation because we know we don't have to worry about that part of it specifically right now just
026to let you know and I know I gave that to the board I gave that to the all of our staff but basically two we were granted well everyone in the states granted the three what they call virtual days which we call them e-learning asynchronous um those are granted to us in those three days we will use those first three days as e-learning asynchronous days for an inclement weather so everybody gets that and then we are also granted five more days of what we call e-learning asynchronous so up to eight days that we can use so the only situation is that if we go over that we have two choices and we will be talking to the administration Teachers Association everyone else about what we would like to do if that happens but our two
027choices are we would have to use um someday somewhere at the end of the year maybe another day that we have off as a makeup day or we would have to do synchronous days and synchronous Days by law we have to have our elementary students would have to be in front of our teachers for two and a half hours during the day throughout the day at some point online of course and then our secondary would be three hours synchronous days you can do as many synchronous days as you want there's no waivers there's nothing about that that's just something that you can do but well just to figure that out in the last several days we've only had one for the last several years we've only had that one year where we missed 10 days
028there was another time where we did Miss eight days so it's you know it can't happen but it's highly likely that we will not meet more than eight days last year just as a reminder we only had three days that we missed so anyway I'm asking you tonight that we just it's just really a small very detailed it doesn't really change hardly anything um but it's interested because parents want to know what to do I do with my students during those three PD days and so those PD days professional development board the parent-teacher conference they will not have any school no synchronous no asynchronous no lead learning no virtual so did you repeat that one more time third test that comes after that yeah so I just ask that you approve this the calendar that's
029just slightly different um and what's the adopted both if you don't adopt it we'll just change the calendar we'll go ahead and put it on here July 25th she said two and a half hours to qualify a person for this yes for elementary yeah I'm going to accept the adopt or adopt the changes to the MSD account all in favor of approval say aye aye all right thank you foreign [Music] Capital asset and we've had a capital asset policy this is just a little bit more descriptive how we classify some things that we have to report to the State Board accounts through Gateway any motion for that absolutely all in favor of approval say aye also second reading for the revisions for policy 3230 which is teacher appreciation Grant so by Statute we have to
030annually approve the policy the only changes here just put some language in here that was recommended that you do or do not do and so it's we're not really doing anything different than we did last year but we are required to be able to receive these funds to annually adopt that so you have to have approval for Mr award to have that approved sermon second all in favor say aye aye all right public comment Ary if not we're in June foreign
