001all righty first reading is uh surplus property Ringgold Elementary School canopy tent Dr Luna-Vedder yes board in your packet we actually have um some items that are being asked to be declared surplus so as you can see we have um a a canopy tent and ice machines that are no longer functional and we are requesting that those be declared surplus or obsolete did you say the ice machines too yes oh you supposed to skip three we're good all right all right and then the um surplus Northeast High School band uniforms the Northeast High School band has obtained new uniforms and so they are um they have no need for the old uniforms so they are also asking for those to be marked as surplus and transferred to the warehouse they will um they bought the
002new uniforms with a combination of district and funds raised by the band boosters and they have no need for the old uniforms any comments on any of those Mr Maberry yeah i'm just kind of curious what happens to old uniforms like that Mr Taylor do you want to take that so there's sometimes a combination of things that occur um it it kind of depends on what they are there have been times when they have actually been um like auctioned or often times we do things like gov deals or something like that but um it really depends on the uh condition and what it looks like and how much it's salvageable obviously anything that can be salvaged and sold off we do but Mr Taylor do you want to weigh in on this one you're spot
003on with it i mean a lot of our items that we have that go through gov deals surplus items I know some of the items in our warehouse here have been sold off recently and this would be no different this is some this like something that people would actually go out and buy in other stores maybe [Laughter] yes a lot of times they will go to costume shops so costume shops will buy them and so if you've got a local theater and they're doing a production like the Music Man or something like that they'll use those uniforms which is pretty neat that they get to be used but yeah no you'd be surprised that people like to to buy them usually for things like that like costume shops or for play productions that sort of
004thing okay thank you I know in previous they we've had auctions here did we do we do those anymore on site I know I bought some refrigerators and stuff one time years ago most everything we do now is through gov deals gotcha okay all righty uh 24-25 end of year review Dr Luna-Vedder so board in your packet you have the um 24-25 end of year review essentially what it is is it's our um strategic work goals and we have had um Elizabeth Vincent actually working on this throughout the year and she has a program and and she tracks uh all of the progress made so obviously at midyear we we delivered a mid-year report this is the end of year status for all of our goals I'm happy to report that we did achieve over
00590% on every single goal um and and we ranged from um a few at 100% several at 95 98 and then there were some that were closer to 90 92 some of these goals will remain goals um moving into next year any comments questions okay June federal budget amendments first read Jeff Taylor yes as you can tell this list is pretty short um most of these funds are already been appropriated all these funds have already been reappropriated we're just reallocating those to the line items where they're needed and also to align with what we have in the e-plan you all have any questions that you want to ask about it thank you all righty summer intervention program yes I'd like to welcome Dr. Kimi Sucharski um to talk to us and this is is very
006timely as our summer programs have begun this week so she's going to give us an update on all that's going on across the district related to summer programming glorious evening and um the first the largest program that we have going on right now is the one that's legislated by the state of Tennessee known as summer learning and it is for rising K through 9th grade and this is the first target is all students that are identified as economically disadvantaged the second target is all students that are non-proficient on state assessments as they're given um and a large piece of this is the third grade students that scored below proficient on the test um there's a 90% requirement uh attendance requirement for the students we do uh post pre and post tests on different levels we
007just finished the um what they call the retest for the kids that were below proficient that they have a second opportunity to be proficient on the assessment before this we give them transportation we have uh breakfast lunch and a snack um that's the big bulk of the programs we also run a bunch of high school summer programs a lot of them are like the traditional things that you have watched through the years so we have the regular to re-earn your credits we have the um high school 101 that's for the children that are transitioning from 8th to 9th you remember the old bridge programs that we did to help children get acclimated quickly and make up any credits uh that they needed so they could be successful in high school we also have a large
008number of academies running summer camps and I'll give you a preview a preview of those in just a minute and again breakfast lunch and snacks for the children and so I'm going to go through some of the academies that uh the camps that they provide this is to give the children an opportunity to get a taste of the different kinds of careers that you can begin building uh uh toward your future with so we have an agriculture camp that runs out at Montgomery Central we have a create camp and this is where they learn how to do electronic creations and media um we have a CITA 2.0 and this is a technology team that work through engineering experiences we have Medicamp over at Northwest where they get introduced to the medical field we have the
009junior executive is the business kind of thing so they learn how to navigate that world um the digital defenders camp and this is sort of like um the cyber security cyber patriot kind of opportunities for those kids young entrepreneur camp um where children get to learn to navigate the business world and whisk and stitch this is arts old-time arts um the children really enjoy this we have a large uh quilting sewing and cooking uh programs that go on all year long through the AYPYN programs and then aviation summer camps going on right now the kids are having a wonderful time with that one and camp engineer where the students get to look at science and its role in the world of engineering we also have STEM camps that we'll run there um a a variety
010of them so you'll see robotics you're going to see cyber patriots um and we have camp invention that goes on which is a wide variety of STEM activities extended school year is a camp designed uh specifically for our most uh at risk students students with disability requiring services that it's not um it's not conducive to for them to have these long breaks so we continue to provide those supports and structures that they need to be successful in a meaningful continuous manner we have EL camp these are for our students again that are English learners and again it's to provide them that uh that opportunity can build their language acquisition remember in Tennessee when the students are tested in EL it's about language acquisition academic acquisition not conversational so this continues to build those skills in
011the summer um we have uh the way the students are selected for the EL camp is based on the new test that they take called the ELPA21 and that test identifies where they are in their development of this language acquisition and then we personally invite them to the camp and provide the source the supports and you can see we provide these at specific schools so we can concentrate where the supports are questions Mr Garland I have one question I think this would be to Dr Luna third grade retention how did we do this year we will get that data I don't have it off the top of my head so essentially what we had the initial data and then those students are allowed to retest before we tell them you either have to go to
012camp or parents have a choice and they can come next year and do the fourth grade tutoring but we'll get that data because I don't want to misquote it okay thank you I was concerned about that any other questions okay thank you yep all righty item seven county county commissioners comments we got Okay other business Dr Luna-Vedder oh it's not on here board comments sorry I just like to uh tell the staff uh and if there's any teachers here that last week was one of the most exciting times in my life uh to be over at Dunn Center with those kids um everyone that came by the hand that I shook uh made me feel even more important than I really should feel but you know I thought about it over the years that I've
013been on this board I've shaken over 50,000 hands during graduations over 50,000 hand that's averaging 2,000 per class per cycle it's more than that but I I feel that that is an accomplishment that many people can't say out of about a 280,000 people in a community that they've shook at least 50,000 of those hands and I just thank God for just allowing me to be part of this uh at this time uh to actually to to actually be able to witness and to be be able to feel the joy of those kids walking across that stage some crying some laughing some happy some sad but you know what they made it and you made it too because you are the one that made it happen for those kids and Dr Luna I salute you uh
