003of the June 1st, 2026 board meeting as attached. >> I second. >> All in favor? >> I. >> Any naysay? Motion passes. Mr. Mr. Burchil. Moving on. >> Okay. Good evening. Um we have proposed the same uh general fund budget amount as was presented for the preliminary final budget at uh $111,566,288. Uh the millage increase is 3% which would be 32.4605. Um any questions regarding the budget? Okay. Uh, Mr. Kyle, looks like we have two motions here which it's separate votes obviously. Mrs. Kramer, >> yes. >> Dave, Mr. Kyle, want to do the first motion, please? >> Sure. I move that the board adopt the general fund budget for the 2026 2027 school year in the amount of 111,566,288. >> A second. Uh, all in favor, please say I. >> I. >> Any naysay? >>

004I. >> Any nays? Excuse me. >> Okay. Budget passes. Mr. Carl. Next motion. >> Okay. I move that the board approve resolution number 202615A establishing a real estate millage rate of 32.4605 mills for the 2026 2027 fiscal year. >> A second. Okay. Any comments, questions? All in favor, please say I. >> I. I. >> I. >> Any any naysay? Okay. Motion passes. >> Dr. Angela, moving on to you. Yes. Good evening. I'm recommending that the board approve the capital reserve budget at a total cost of $662,632. Uh these monies will be used to purchase transportation vehicles and these particular vehicles were presented to the board for approval back in October and approved. >> Thank you. Uh Mr. Lambert, would you like to make a motion, please? >> Sure. I move that the board approved the

0052026 2027 capital reserve budget in the amount of $662,632 as attached. >> Second. All those in favor, please say I. >> I. >> Any nays? >> Okay. Motion passes. >> Dr. Angelo, you are up on your presentation for future capital projects. Okay. Thank you. Let me um just share my screen. Okay. So, what you're taking a look at right now is there are several projected capital projects that we have to take place really over the next two years. Um, these projects uh really work within one another. They're they're interjoined. In other words, certain projects have to happen first before others can proceed. You can see that these projects are concentrated on our buildings outside of the high school campus. Um, predominantly we're focusing on our uh elementary schools. And um based on uh when some

006of this work was done, it takes us back to 20 200uh 2003. So we're looking approximately to 25 years that this work was last completed. Um Dan, would you like to speak about some of these? >> Yeah, sure. Thank you. So, as Dr. Angelo has stated, a lot of these items are 23 plus years old. Uh starting with the chillers. So, Ashray uh in industry standards suggests the chillers are good up to 20 years of age. After that, you're on borrowed time. Um I will tell you that these chillers are beginning to nickel and dime us. So, they are showing signs that we're getting ready. Uh the time is near so it's best to get out in front of this then wind up um in a pinch. Um so that would go for the three

007elementaryaries. Uh I would recommend that we would start with Eisenhower first. That is uh the building that is shown uh the worst amount of wear and tear to the chiller followed by streams finishing up with Baker. Uh you can also see that we have two schools needing roof replacements and two schools uh in need of campus paving and concrete work. Um again these are projects are going to be extended out over the summer of 27 and the summer of 28. Same situation work that was last done in 2002 2003 >> and then a boiler replacement at Baker. And just to note this is the last building that needs a new set of boilers. So that means the high school has a brand new set which was done about two years ago. Both middle schools, they're

008about 12, 13 years old, so they're halfway through their life expectancy. We're in good shape there. The admin building, we're at six years there. Um we just did the Eisenhower boiler about a year ago. Streams is all electric, so we don't have boilers there. Um so Baker is essentially our last building to uh re replace the original boiler. Again, that is also starting to nickel and dime us. And um I would also like to mention that um we would be going with the Brian standard boiler that we've been doing in all of our buildings. And the ref for Brian is uh going to provide a 25-year bumper-to-bumper warranty on that boiler as they have done so for all of our other buildings. So all of our buildings are essentially under a 25-y year bumper-to-bumper warranty

009for these boilers. So, none of us in this room will have to worry about anything with these boilers um you know until it's time to switch them out again. So, um and then finally wrapping up with Stuckco repair and the replacement. Um Stucco is a great product when you're trying to watch costs on new builds. It looks great, looks fantastic, but what a lot of people don't realize is that it hits you on the back end because there's a lot of maintenance um that cost a lot of money. So, it's it's cheap on the front end, but what folks don't realize is that you have to paint it and uh do fresh caulking every five to six years. Um, unfortunately, that has not happened here. Um, none of these buildings have been touched and the

010high school has actually shown proof of why you need to do this. Um, if you walk through the building, you can actually see the light of day through a lot of our exterior walls because the culking is starting to erode. Uh animals are also starting to find um homes in our walls because it's so brittle and thin. Um so that's another issue. Um I did go out and I did get uh some pricing just to bring the high school up to par and um I will tell you it is not cheap just to bring the high school up to par. We were around $650,000. Had this have been maintained every five to six years that price tag wouldn't have been that high. Um, but nonetheless, we do have the high school, we have four couch,

011and we have this building as well. Uh, the natiatorium. I'm just going off the top of my head. So, we have four buildings that were built with stucco, and these need maintained every five to six years. Um, and maintenance isn't cheap either, but um, yeah, that's where we're at with the Stuckco. >> So, our estimated costs for the next two years are at uh, $ 8.3 million. Um, you know, these are the type of projects that people get excited about doing, but they're critical projects. They deal with the envelope of the building. It's the most important area we need to take care of. >> Happy to try to answer any questions for you. >> Yeah. So, I'll just interject a little bit. So, why are we talking about this now? Because hopefully, if the stars

012align, we'll be able to refinance 2019 Bonds, which we've talked about. We have a resolution with authorization. board president can authorize the transaction if the market uh cooperates with us. So, we'll have the savings related to that refinancing. And what that'll be, I don't know. I mean, I'm shooting for a couple million, you know, with the market the way it is and all the world events that are going on and the cost of oil and you know, on and on and on. You just you don't know. So, we'll have the savings and then we'll need some additional borrowing. And we're talking about this now because these essential pro projects potentially we could fund them by um borrowing additional money at the time of that transaction. So that saves us the um the additional money of

013going back out paying for another transaction, all the um you know fees to go along with that, including the attorney fees, the bond council fees and so on. Um and so that's why we're bringing this to you. So these projects obviously would not take place until the board authorizes them. But in anticipation of having to complete these in the next two to three years, you know, it's our recommendation that if we can borrow the additional money and the uh market is at the right price, then we should go ahead and do that. If we're not able to borrow enough money to cover these, we do have a healthy fund balance that we could use for some onetime costs. We we can talk about that down the road, but the reason we're bringing this to your

014attention is just if we are able to borrow the additional money, then you know we're recommending to do that and it would be funding these projects. So that's why we're bringing these these to you tonight. >> If I could just ask a question. Um a few well more than a few years ago now we went on the bus rotation. Um, in light of what was said about the Stuckco repair, I think that that needs to go on a rotation. So, it is on maintenance and perhaps there should be an audit to see if there are any other physical plant items that we really should put on a schedule. Um, because I really I mean, as you've as you know and you've stated, we do need to take care of our property. That's our greatest one

015of our great assets. So, um, I would just suggest that I'm probably not saying anything that you're not already thinking or doing. So, thank you. >> Uh, yes. And furthermore, we are going out for an RFP for an architecture record. Uh, that's going out. They're due back at the end of July. And, uh, we will interview internally here. We'll interview two or three once we get those back and review them. And then we potentially may have someone to recommend in August, but if not, it would be September for an architecture record. Right now, we don't have an architect um on under contract. We've been getting by with engineers and gateway engineers and some other some other uh firms. So, any questions regarding all the conversation? >> Okay. Is that it, Dr. Angela? That is it.

016Thank you. >> Okay. Thank you guys very much. Appreciate it. Uh moving on, Mr. Burchil tax resolutions. >> Uh annually we approve these tax resolutions at the recommendation of our solicitor. So uh you know we're asking the board approve these resolutions. The Homestead Farmstead is annually. We need to by law we have to approve that. And then um we also approve the act 511 tax resolution um annually. >> Okay. Mrs. Snutter, >> I move that the board approve the Homestead and Farmstead exclusion resolution 2026-06-15B for the 2026 2027 fiscal year. >> I second. >> Thank you, Mr. Lambert. Uh, comments, questions? All those in favor, please say I. >> I. I. >> Any nays? Motion passes. Uh, Mrs. Hannah, would you like to read Act 51 motion, please? >> I move that the board reenact

017the act 511 tax resolution 2026-06-15C for the 2026 2027 fiscal year. >> I second. >> Thank you. Uh, all those in favor, please say I. >> I. >> Any nays? >> Motion passes. >> Yeah. I just want to make sure the board's aware there's 5,980 properties that um can take the homestead farmstead reduction and the total dollar amount for this year is $395.82. So that's a reduction in the assessed value and it's on your tax bill that comes. >> Okay, moving on. Dr. Rosen. >> All right, thank you. Um, just a couple uh brief items to share. First of all, I just want to thank the board and administration for for another great year. This is our final board meeting for the fiscal year. We will not meet again until August. So, thank you to

018everyone. Uh, I feel like we had a great year, a very strong finish. a lot of the end of the year events. Many of you were able to attend, which we we appreciate it. Various awards nights, uh uh graduation, all went very well. So, we we were very pleased. Lost a great group of seniors that we're certainly uh sad to say goodbye to. Um but we have a lot of kids here ready to step up and and to fill their shoes. So, the summer will be very busy. As we've talked about in previous meetings, a lot of projects going on, uh which is not foreign to us here in the school district. The robotics center will be a big project uh that's occurring this summer. We look forward to opening that this fall and and

019sharing that with everyone and having you have the opportunity to visit it. We have a Baker roof which is very exciting. Um obviously is necessarily coming on the heels of what uh Mr. Schneider and Dr. Angelo said. These are essential projects. So the Baker roof uh we also have uh a remodeling of the high school library and the theater which are both currently under construction. So they really haven't wasted any time. the theater is already cleared out. Um, and so these will be great spaces um, for our kids um, but also for our community. A lot of our community use uh, these spaces well. In fact, the high school theater is one of the most uh, commonly visited um, commonly visited spaces in the entire district. So, we we look forward to showing those to

020everyone this fall, but a lot of work will be happening there. A lot of other projects, those are some of the the the bigger projects that are happening right now. glad to say that in terms of hiring uh for this year uh that we're in a very good place particularly with all of our professional staff. Uh so I want to thank Miss Smack and all the administrators, everyone who's been involved. Not much uh in terms of hiring left to happen. And that was our goal. We want to try to have um everyone in place by June 15th so that we can have people and start to transition over the summer and be able to start with us in the fall. If we do hire from other districts, which at times we have employees that are

021hired from other districts, if we wait until August, then that's usually a 60-day hold before we get them, which isn't necessarily what's best for our students. So, team works very hard. I'm glad to say that most of those hires were um were already recommended and approved by the board in previous meetings and then there were a few uh tonight as well. um the administrative team and the curriculum leaders. Last week uh we had our end of the year uh summer planning and we did spend some time looking at our mission, vision, values um to dive a little bit deeper into the survey that we had already uh sent to the board, the administration and the curriculum leaders. So we had a good workday with them and uh look forward to sharing more of that and

022continue to update everyone on that progress and also to include um the board more in in terms of that process as we move forward. before we would recommend any changes if we recommend any changes. Um, and lastly, I just want to say the personnel listing tonight uh with you know there's there's uh some two uh positions on there being recommended that we're very excited about a new high school principal um Dr. Cara Singer who will be replacing Dr. Wagner who is with us here now and uh Dr. Dan Beck at Fort Couch uh becoming the Fort Couch principal and all those recommendations are effective for July 1st. So very excited about that and uh that's all I have for for my update. Any questions? >> Thank you, Dr. Roso. Uh want to move on to

023starter business, please. >> Yes. Uh next item. Uh excited to present a recommendation for a five-year uh employment agreement with for Mr. Scott Burchil, our director of business finance. Mr. Mr. Burchil is completing uh his fifth year of his current contract which will expire June 30th. And uh as as we have said many times, we're very fortunate. Mr. Mr. Burchil is an excellent uh director of business and finance. Um cares very much about this community. The school district uh is an excellent steward of our district and uh I'm very confident, we are very confident in his work and uh would like to recommend a five-year contract agreement that would take us through 2031. Mr. Kyle, would you like to make a motion? >> Sure. I move that the board approve a five-year employment agreement with

024Mr. Scott Burchil on on terms and conditions acceptable to the superintendent and solicitor. >> And I'm honored to second that. >> Comments or questions? All those in favor, please say I. >> I. >> Any nays? >> Congratulations, Mr. Burchil. No, thank you very much. It's uh be 10 years in January. Very fortunate to work here and I appreciate it. >> Appreciate you. >> We're very fortunate to have Exactly. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to step over you. >> No, you're good, Edge. >> Okay. Uh moving on to next order of business, Dr. Roza. >> Yes. Uh Mr. Burch and I are uh recommending a one-year uh extension to our agreement with Eligi Health Network. This is uh a sports medicine agreement. These are our trainers for our athletic programs. We've been very pleased with their

025services and uh we find the the the cost is very uh favorable to the district and we will like to recommend a one-year extension to that agreement. >> Okay. Mr. Lambert, >> I move that the board approve the extension of the AHN sports medicine agreement for an additional term of one year subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to the superintendent and solicitor. >> I second. >> Thank you. All those in favor, please say I. I >> any nays? Motion passes. >> Mrs. Kramer. >> Yes. Thank you. Um, this is a annual motion that will provide the superintendent and design with the ability to pay bills and take care of school district business between meetings since we do not have a meeting in July. >> Okay. Mr. Snider, would you like to make a motion,

026please? >> I move to authorize the superintendent or designate to take the following actions on behalf of the board without prior board action if deemed necessary by the superintendent from June 15, 2026 through the next voting meeting to be considered for ratification at the next voting meeting. Normal, customary, and regular payments of salaries, benefits, and other expenses, pay bills. Approve change orders. Purchase supplies and/or equipment. Appoint staff conditionally. Enter into agreements with employee groups. >> Good. >> Yep. >> Second. >> Okay. Questions or comments? All those in favor, please say I. >> I. >> Any nays? Motion passes. Dr. Rozo, you have a little bit of freedom down here somewhere. >> Yes. All right. Um, staffing resolutions. Next item. We have several staffing resolutions on here. The majority of these staffing resolutions are essentially um

027repurposing existing staff. There are no additions in here with the exception of Southwood um and and Boyce, which I will have um Dr. Fender speak about here in a minute. I do want to note um that the uh tech aid positions we have Eisenhire and Baker and streams. Uh this is we had three tech aids for the district. Um we did have a retirement this year. This was one of the positions we've discussed throughout the budget process. There was a reduction in this position. So we will have two tech aids for those three buildings. So that is why you see the um the calculations that we have here in terms of the assignments per building. That is a reduction in position as well as um the instrumental music the point4 instrumental music at voice and

028point six for couch in instrumental music excuse me currently we have four uh instrumental these are essentially our band teachers four for the entire middle school which we have significant staffing I think everyone knows we would not recommend a reduction in staffing if we did not think we could meet our students needs we did have a retirement this year in boyce we still have three instrumental teachers And I want to commend the team. Uh Dr. Aor really played a a large role in making sure that the program was intact and that our staffing needs were able to meet all of our students needs and they certainly are. And so we we feel very confident the in making this reduction. We also as part of the continued organizational structure and with the moves we've already discussed

029um also recommending the decrease of the assistant high school principal position. And so the high school building would mow from four administrators as we currently have down to three which is what we've had previously prior to this year. Um so this is just an updating on our end that to go back to three people and Dr. Fender if you want to just briefly explain talk about the special education uh boy and Southwood. So the increases reflected here are also going to they are um not an impact on the budget because we have a financial agreement also with Southwood and it's based off of our the daily rate that the state sets for us and so based off of what monies are coming in there and our obligation. We are considered a host school district for

030Southwood which means we are responsible for educational oversight and we've also seen an increase in special education students there. And so in order to meet our obligation under IDEIDA and meet um compliance regulations. We are recommending that we go we've had a 0.5 there for the last two years. We're recommending that we go to a 1.0. And then at Boyce we would increase from a 0.5 special education teacher also to a 1.0. 0 we have a larger fifth grade class coming into boyce so we're seeing an increase in our special education numbers there as well and want to make sure we're also prepared for any increases at the fifth and sixth grade level which we traditionally see as well um at the middle school level there so but this will not impact the budget because

031we have um Dr. Mia has done a great job looking at what has come in financially with doc uh Mr. virtual and so we feel confident in this recommendation financially and then also um you've seen in the PL which Mrs. Mac will present here in a moment that um some teachers are change of status and reflective of these increases and decreases in these little mathematical formulas that you see here. And so our high school team has done a great job um thinking about how to meet the personal finance mandate creatively without increasing staff um and making sure that that is implemented effectively while also looking at course enrollment and maximizing our staff effectively. So I'm grateful for that as well. I do want to add that all of these um increases or decreases are have

032been projected into the budget. So, >> okay. Thank you for clarifying. Uh >> Go ahead, Mr. Snder. Go ahead. >> I have a question about Southwood. Can you remind people who might be listening what Southwood is? And my my other question would be is the need for an increase because of the expansion the current expansion at Southwood and are they continuing to expand even more? Do we know? >> So the increase in staffing is also in response to the fact that last year at this time we had one program on site and now we are up to three. And though we don't anticipate increased programming, we also need to be ready to respond to increased enrollment. So some of their programs have also not been functioning at full enrollment. Their acute, which is the uh

033hospitalization setting, um is usually at max for beds. But just because they are hospitalized setting does not mean that education goes away. And so we are responsible for that educational oversight as I had stated. And that is the law. Um, we as a school district, Southwood sits in our boundaries and we are responsible for that educational oversight. Even though the students are not physically enrolled here in the district, we um bill back and so like there's a pass through funding. So, it's not a financial obligation for the district. It's an educational obligation. However, district resources are definitely involved in this. Um so from student support services to finance to working with Southwood like there is a circle that requires max resources at times. So um we feel that this is necessary in response to the

034increase in programming and their expansion and just being ready to respond um because though they have their own teachers there that is also a very fluid environment um for educational staffing and we believe that this is best for the district as well as part of being considered a host school district. Thank you. >> Yeah, if I can add, the way we structured the contract that we um just approved this past year helps us to fund this additional position the way it's structured. So, we're billing and then our revenue minus the cost that we have as far as what we have to do to make to uh ensure the students are educated. Um we are not using taxpayers money to do that. Anything else? Mrs. Hannah, would you like to make a motion, please? >> Sure.

035>> I move that the board approve the above listed staffing resolutions 2026-10 through 2026-27, items 1-8 as presented. >> Any comments? >> I second. >> All right. All those in favor, please say I. >> I. Any nays? Motion passes. Mrs. Mack, please. >> Yeah. Hi. Good evening. Um, again, our teams um have continued to work hard to fill open positions across the district. Um, we're pleased to announce that we have successfully filled uh four full-time paraprofessionals, two bus drivers, one health services position, two professional teacher positions, and then as Dr. Rozo mentioned, um the two head principal roles. So again, thank you everybody for working really hard on getting these filled. >> Yeah, it's a good job everybody. Uh, anyone like to make a motion? Uh, Mr. >> I'm >> Mr. Kyle. Yes. Sorry. >>

036Okay, no worries. Uh, I move that the board approve the personnel listing as presented, subject to all required pre-employment history reviews and clearance requirements. >> I second. >> Mike, I'm going to have to abstain from this vote. Uh, I am on the list of being approved for uh, volunteer work. >> Okay. Thank you, Mr. Lambert. >> I also need to abstain from this vote. I am related to somebody on the personnel listing. My son has worked in the tech department the last few years and he is coming back to do so this summer. >> Okay. So, we got seven, six. Okay. Uh, all of those in favor, please say I. >> I. I. Any nays? Motion passes. >> Uh, Mrs. Mack, you're still up. >> Yes. U, we are requesting approval for 5-year clinical internship

037affiliation agreement with the University of Pittsburgh. >> Mr. Lambert. >> I move that the board approve the affiliation agreement with the University of Pittsburgh for clinical internships subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to the superintendent and solicitor. >> I second. >> Comments?

This specific renewal will allow them to utilize the fort couch gymnasium on specified dates and times throughout the calendar year. It's a 36-month term with annual increases of 5% and they will pay a base amount of 22,655 during the term of theou. If there

I move that the board approve theou with the scoring factory to utilize the fort couch gymnasium at specified times throughout the year for a term of three years with payment to the district at a base amount of $22,655 with annual increases of 5% subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to the superintendent and solicitor. >> I second. >> Okay.

This first one is just a recommendation to renew the Orin pest control contract for a term of three years uh at a

Uh Orcin has agreed to keep the same um price for us uh as they have been for the last three years and they agreed to drop their call out rate or fee from $250 to $100. Um that's that first one there. The second one, uh I would like to recommend that the district awards uh the contract for the high school plumbing project uh to Nathan Constant Excavation and Plumbing. Um, sorry here. Uh, we went out to bid for this in May. Um, and Nathan was the lowest bidder. They came in at $379,945. We are asking for a 10% contingency, which would bring this project to a total not to exceed $417,939.50. Uh we also went out to bid in May um for the Ballards project,

042the district Ballard project. As a reminder, this would provide Ballards at um four of our six district buildings that currently do not have ballards. Uh we would like to recommend um hope I don't butcher this name to Esahada Masonary LLC. Um they were the lowest bidder. They came in at Sorry. that pulled up here. They came in at $85,895. And again, we are asking for a 10% contingency, which would bring it to a total cost not to exceed $94,485.
