Thank you to the superintendent, the board members for giving us this uh brief opportunity here to celebrate our Skills USA medalists from the state competition that was held in Fairmont last month. Uh, I know you all are very well aware of Skills, but for your viewers who may not be, Skills USA is a career and technical student organization serving over 442,000 students and teachers in middle schools, high schools, and colleges and is the only organization that encompasses all students in all programs at our career center. Skills USA mission is to empower students to become skilled professionals, career ready leaders, responsible community members. We aim to produce
005the most highly skilled workforce in the world by providing every member with the opportunity for career success. Over the past four years, our chapter has been recognized as a West Virginia gold chapter of distinction, recognizing our commitment to fostering personal, workplace, and technical skills grounded in academics. This year is no different. And now we have the honor of announcing that our chapter has been chosen as one of only 24 schools nationwide to be named a 2025 Skills USA model of excellence. Well, sure. Our program uh the program promotes the learning of skilled workers as outlined in the framework for student development. Our chapter is in the top eight in the nation due to our efforts to ensure our students are proficient in workplace skills. So, we're in the top eight for workplace. So, we will
006find out at the national conference next month in Atlanta to see if we um take out the top spot. So, hopefully we will. So, we'll start with our uh bronze medalist. We have one West Virginia State bronze medalist in nursing assisting skills and that's Brook Bailey. Next we have our West Virginia State Silver Medalist in screen printing, Ray Morera in medical terminology, Kayn Williams for skilled carpentry showcase. Timothy Mau. In teamworks, we have Gavin Keenan, Aiden Cook, who is also our chapter parliamentarian, Kobby Kelly, and Darren Heml. And also for our silver medalist, we have entry level welding one, Autumn Kesler. Now for our gold medalists who will be going on to the national competition in fair in Atlanta representing our school for outstanding chapter. This team consists of three of this year's school officers.

Troy Wyn, he is our secretary and vice president. and Caitlyn Kesler, who is our president, but she was also elected as a 2526 West Virginia State Skills USA officer.

Alexander Rogers. Carpentry. River Garland. Welding. Grayson Williams and our welding fabrication team of Brennan Le, Zayn Spencer, and Mason Bailey. Okay, thank you. You went up there for No, no, I don't think you don't do have to do a little bit. And I can't see back there or we can't get any taller than that. Just y'all got young. Okay. Can I see all my board members? Mr. Boo. Okay, here we go. One, two, three. There's
008a big boy back there. One beside you. Oh my go arm wrestle or he said yeah well they're all leaving. Give him a chance. Row and Sue. See you. Yes, I did. Who? I know. They told us at church yesterday Okay. Okay. Superintendent information updates. Just a couple quick announcements today. Um, we keep getting calls about the last day of school. The last day for students is June the 5th and the last day for employees is June the 6th. Unless they have not worked their uh parent teacher conferences off then they have to come back on the 9th which includes service personnel. So that's the big things the kids the last day for them is June 5th. senior's courses for that and preschool I think is before that but the uh students in general June
0095th uh the other only other thing I want to talk about real briefly is um we had posted a position I'll give you a little bit of history on this for the richwood academic complex that school was going to contain that building is going to contain three schools one's elementary one's middle one's high And my experience is that you need one person to oversee a building. You don't need three people, three different principles in one school. But the mediated agreement that was done back in I guess in 1617 somewhere in there required that they keep all three identities and three different administrations and all that. So we had to follow that. Um but the concern we had was that anytime you have three different leaders running a school, all of them have their different personalities,
010all have different goals and objectives and what they consider as good climate, good culture at their school. And you're going to have three different groups of students in one facility. So we needed somebody to oversee that to kind of create a transition with unity of the three schools into one building and one set of rules that everybody would follow. These kids are going to start off four years old, some of them three years old, going to stay in that same facility until they're 18 till they graduate. And so to have three different sets of rules and guidelines go by is very confusing to kids. So we need one common theme for that school to operate under. And that was the purpose behind creating that position. Well, I still think the position is necessary. I think
011you still need someone to be in charge of the facility because you're going to have different issues. We've already seen issues where you have a gym, an auditorium, and who gets to use it when, who gets to use it next. We we got a Christmas p practice. We got to use the auditorium for our practice. Well, we need to do it for this, that, and the other. You need somebody. That's just one small example. It could be anything that goes on during a school year. And those of you, all of you are involved in education. There's a lot goes on. I got a hand out today. It's this one right here. Just upcoming events just for this month. When you have a lot of things going on in a school, somebody's got to make that
012decision. Plus, the other issue is this. You could very easily have a student discipline issue that involved an elementary and middle school kid or a middle school and a high school kid. Hopefully not an elementary and a high school. But you don't know who handles that situation. Does the middle school person handle it? Is the elementary? Is the high school depending on who the kids are? Who makes the decision? How do you discipline those students? Are you you got to be consistent the way you handle a discipline issue. One principal may want to handle it more uh more strenuously or strictly and the other may be more lenient. Then you got parents upset because well my kid got they did the same thing and my kid got this punishment, this kid got this punishment. That's
013not fair. You need somebody to mediate that and that's what the purpose of the position was and still is. But, you know, we had to make a lot of uh very difficult personnel decisions, you know, in the last six weeks, whatever it's been to reduce staff because we do have a budget we have to be uh cognizant of. And we determined that the the price of this position, even though it's necessary, we just couldn't afford to do that. We didn't think it was fiscally responsible for us to do that. and uh even though we felt like the position is needed, but we've we've got a plan B and you always have to have a plan B. Our plan B is this and this has already been discussed with our principles at at Cherry River and
014Richwood Mill and Richwood High. Amy Mallister is our director of secondary services. So, she's already in charge of overseeing to a large extent our middle schools and high schools. Amy has a lot of experience as a principal. She was principal in Greenar County for a long time. She was at Greenbar West for 11 or 12 years. And so she knows what it's like to to get people to work together in in one facility. So she's going to be in charge of that building. She's she's she will not get any additional salary. U she'll just get additional responsibilities and that's kind of the way it works these days. So we are still going to have someone in charge of that building. Like I say, the principles are aware of it. She's going to sit down with
015them. Another perfect example, Scheduling buses, scheduling classes, scheduling plannings. We're going to have shared services in this building. We're going to have teachers that are teaching both middle school and high school. We could possibly have people that teach elementary and middle both if they have a K6 certification or 612 certification. A sixth grade teacher may be teaching an elementary class if we need it. Right now, that's not probably going to be necessary, but it very easily could be necessary in the future if our numbers continue to drop and we have to share our services and and can't hire additional staff. So, she's going to sit down with them, work out a schedule, the bus schedules and the and the and the planning schedules and just the general bail schedules. I mean, you can't have bails
016going off all day long, you know, that disrupts u instruction. So the position is necessary, but we think we can do it in a way that will not cost the county any more money and and that's the purpose behind it. So that that's the long and short of it, mostly long of it, but that I wanted to explain to the board exactly why we had to do what we did financially, but still the need for position is there. Now Amy will not be at that school every day, 360 days a year. She won't be there that often, but she will at the beginning of school and this summer, she'll be working with those teachers and principles to get the ball rolling. And the first I'm I'm hoping at least the first six weeks, she'll be
017there a lot to make sure that everything's on track because there's going to be some transition because the elementary kids won't be going in when the middle and high school kids do. They won't be going in until later in the fall. So, there'll be two actual transitions. One middle school and high school and one when the elementary joins them. So, I just wanted to kind of give the the community an update on what that position was for, the reason behind it, the need for it, but the way we're going to actually fill the job. And we did have some really good applicants. We had several incount applicants who was interested in that position. uh and and they would, you know, I'm sure we could have found somebody that would been capable of doing that job
018just fine, but we feel like Amy can do that job and and and uh and again save the county some money and not put any more money into into our administrators. And that's all I have delegations. No, sir. Thank you. Action items. Action item eight, discussion with possible action on approving theou with the southern educational services cooperative which is the SCSC for bus oper uh operator training examination services. Um basically that's the same thing we've done for last couple years. Yeah. I don't know if if the prices have gone up as the charges change. I I don't usually, but but you're right. We do is we do this every year, three years. Any questions or discussion on that? If not, action item B, discussion with possible action on approving theou with Bluefield State University for
019clinical students, student teachers, resident teachers, uh, 2025 26. I'm not sure how many colleges we have with for student teaching. Usually have these two. Okay. where my stuff come and leave. Okay. Okay. Okay, if there's no discussion on that action item C, discussion with possible action on approving theou with Concord University uh EP for clinical students, student teachers, residents, uh resident teachers 202526. I like to see they put a provision in there that they're trying to get student teachers nearer their home. Uh used to be they wouldn't allow that. They they discouraged that. But they did. I think that's a good good point. Yeah. Action item D. discussion with possible action on approving the temporary easement with Hope Gas. Um incorporated that's in Richwood Valley Avenue. Can you give us an update on that? Do
020you anything about that? South You should have map and a an agreement that your We do. Okay. So, they're trying to do some um gas upgrades in the town of Richwood and so they needed a lay down yard for their pipe. So, I've um I was worried about that since it was in a floodway, but I've contacted Mercenorts and she's contacted FEMA and they've approved that we are allowed to do that. So, it is kosher with FEMA um for us to use that as a lay down and they I think they did put a date. The first contract I got set did not have a date, but that one has a date. Um, yeah, May 12th. Yeah, May 12th. Yeah, next week. The only the only thing I see a problem with is Richwood if
021they have their graduation. That's that's their only parking really. I mean, uh, I mean, if you want to try to call in Richwood graduation is what? 21st is it? 21st. Yeah. 22nd from here. It's going to last four weeks. So, it's going to last middle of June. I mean, I hate to pass up on the $3,000 because we use that money, but I don't want to make it hard on their graduation. What do you rest of you think? Now, where will the pipe be laid or stored beside the red gym? Okay. Besides the gym in the parking lot and they marked it on the map that I sent you. I don't Where's the map? It's a different It wasn't on Yeah. It's uh I don't see it. I don't have it either. It was It
022was in the email. You want me try to bring that up for you so you can see it? Sure. But it's it's the parking lot of the red gym, correct? Yes. That's what you need to know. Yeah. They're letting them in on the on the right hand side. I mean, if if you're facing the gym, it's over probably. Okay. Well, why don't they put it up there and where all that uh pavement is where they made us tear down the the auditorium and all that stuff. Plenty of space up there. Still have graduation at the red gym. That's it's be full. Yeah, we could allow them to park in the green zone there. the grass where the school was. Well, the only thing is last year or the year before it was pouring rain. You
023know, they'll have the graduation more than likely at the football field if it's pretty. That's the map they sent me. So, um, is that parking there or is that the grassy area that looks like it's on the I think that's the grass there. Yeah, it is on the other side. It's towards the um it is towards the auditorium. See where the road goes through? Yeah, that's so in just that area right there. Oh, it's not in the park. of the yellow area was their lay down yard. I say go for it then. I thought it was in the actual parking lot. No, they and they said and we had it cleared. They said they would take the soil off and reat it and put it back. You know, they're going to take care of it.
024I think most of that's gravel all the way out to the sidewalk. Yeah, they all the sidewalk. I misunderstood when we were talking about it, Chris. I thought you were on the other side of the gym. That's That's the math they sent me. Well, I'm good with it then. Wait, four or five acres. So, I they may take up this whole area, but I don't I don't know why they highlighted that red. If it's 1.45 acres, it's probably is that parking area that probably I imagine it would be that. I if you think that's an acre, I don't know. It's not. That wouldn't be an acre contract. Yeah. If you look at the contract, it's about 50. So, I mean, that's the 75 because you still have a wooden shed there also. Yeah. It's one
025and a half acres. So that was my communication with him that his standard temporary agreement that might be on the on that be foundation. that's probably the whole area. Yeah. with the vocational one and a half acres. It has to be because an acre is about the size of a football field roughly. An acre is 28 ft by 28 ft. What are you laughing at? Cuz I was cheating. She just said that's what it is roughly. Put that down by the river. That's trees there. What's the big green box around it, Chris? You see the green line? I think that's properties. This is looks like the tax map. Is that our whole area? I think that's their property. I was assuming it was the yellow box that they But I think they're asking for easement
026so they can drive on it, but that's where they're going to be storing their pipes because if you look, it says ement to cross. I don't know if you wanna you want me try to call that fell and let y'all talk to him. I just hate to take up their parking when they have a major event and there's not much parking there to start with and that red gym is packed out. About 150 degrees in there. I just told him I'd bring it to you. So it's my two decision. Okay. Might just clarify whether that yellow area is the area he's wanting to use or the whole me. Yeah, that's definitely not a whatever third whatever was during homecoming. Now, they're planning to have all of the uh people that display and sell things in
027the red gym instead of down at the armory. So, there again, we'll need some parking. They should be done by then. Sorry, what? Mid June. Um all the lines just four weeks that that could be all of June, couldn't? Yeah, it might be noticed. Yeah. I Yes. Yes. Can I give you a written um message? So if I did, have they taken down that building that used to be used for check meals? Is it gone now? I can't remember. Okay, so that's there's some space there, but yeah, there's a lot of grassy spots there. Yeah, grassy. Go ahead. Just hold on. Vote on that one yet until we go and do those. Yeah, we table it. So, we got some more information. Well, well, next be too late. Yeah. Oh, let's uh let's come back
028to it. Let's go to action item E. Discussion with possible action on approving the contract for SMS and Shepard University. Uh, we'll fill her in. I I didn't understand what that was. I know it involves the uh honor society and the student council, but uh I don't think it ever said what it really was. Is it a leadership conference or does anybody know? Christine is here. They're going to Philadelphia and they stay a shepherd. Oh, okay. what it is. Okay. Yeah. So, they stay at Shepard and they provide um like their evening meals and they stay in the dorms and then they'll it's a 45 minute drive to DC and then I think it was they said an hour and a half or two hours to Philadelphia. They've done that before, haven't they? They did
029last year. Okay. I thought so. Yeah. They give us a really good rate to stay at Shepard per student is cheaper than a hotel and campus. Is that a recruiting tool for Shepherd? Is that what that is? Recruiting tool. Whatever work. Yeah. Gotcha. I vote on Skip. Let's vote on action items A, B, C, and E. Um, and we'll skip D and come back to it after finance. So, do we have a motion to approve A, B, C, and E? I make that motion. Okay, Mr. Barry makes a motion. Seconded by Second by Mr. Green. All in favor? I I opposed motion unanimal. to see that was you first or second. I made the motion. Mr. Green was second. Okay. Consent items. finance. She Yeah, she wasn't here. She She sent us early, right? Yeah.
030I guess there was any question. She asked us to call her, didn't she? She did. I think so. Yeah. I I'd like an update on uh American benefit. Uh I see I did talk to her about that when you called me. Uhhuh. and um they they were she was going to reach out and find out what's going on, but I know that they had gotten there was concerns about the the dentist not getting paid on time. Yeah. A year they had they had payments dated a year ago and and every time they call American Benefit, they would tell them, "Well, it's lying here." And they said, "Well, process it." And they nothing happens over and over. So, it wasn't us dropping the ball. It was it was the Yeah, it's the company. Okay. Well, I'll
031me make myself a know and I'll have Kristen at the next board meeting give you an update on exactly where we are with it. Okay, cool. American Dentl, American benefit, the dental. Yeah, that kind of So, we went ahead and voted on action items A, B, C, and E. Mr. Barry made the motion. Mr. Green second. It was unanimous. Green and that's A, B, C, and E. And we just skip D for now. Did we find a phone number from him? No. I ask him to call me. And in the event that you learn something before the next meeting, would you have her contact me? I will. So my dentist will see me. Is this the same company that the county has used for a long time? Yeah. Yeah. Cuz we switched in Pocons County.
032We had to switch for this very reason. We switched to a different company. Yeah. And it they the dentists were tickled with it. Are you needing a form or No, they're slow about painting. They're they're slow about getting the dent paid. That's exactly what we were announc exactly same thing. Yeah, I I see we're making we're making our payments. We just right send them. I just want to make sure it wasn't we all somewhere. Yeah. D. Okay, let's let's back up and hit D. Let's make a decision on what to do. just email him. Um, and he may call me. Do you want to Can you put that off until after the public hearing in the same meeting? In the same meeting, you can. Yeah. You want to time to respond to the email? Okay.
033Okay. Well, we'll go we'll finish up with payment of current invoices then. Um, anybody have any questions? Okay. Out of state travel request, uh, Richwood High School, trip 402, uh, to Kennywood and that's county county bus. And then trip 464, Mount Nebo Elementary to Dollywood. And that is one county bus. We have we have small buses or you know they're 10 or 15 20 people. We have to send a a full-size bus. I We do. Yeah. I think they got the same fuel mileage. Yeah, they get about the same mileage. It's about the same mileage. And one thing about if you're on one of these buses and there's 20 people and each one gets a seat, that's it's not too bad. Quite a ride. I know we used to have some vans and Yeah. Yeah.
034Okay. Do we have a motion to approve consent items, finance, and out of state travel request one and two? I just uh there was a picture of that copying machine. What kind of copying machine was that? Um and uh Oh, that's what she sent us in the email. Yes. But I think it was some kind of copying machine or something. But that's I've never seen anything like an interactive projector. all interactive projector. Well, we won't worry about right now. I guess we know what they're getting. Kristen sent that in that email. Uh because of the name of the Yeah, it's called a a Beam mobile. It's not a It's not a scooter for Mr. Beam. It's not It is not He's not there yet. Uh close. Well, I don't I think I was I was
035curious about that, too. Yeah. Looks like a robot or something. It's a mobile projector. Okay. If there's no other discussion, do we have a motion to approve finance payment of current invoices and out of state travel request one and two? So move Mr. Moose makes a motion seconded by second second by Mr. Barry. All in favor? I I opposed. Motion unanimous. Personnel. Um yes. Um we don't have any changes to personnel. I would like to say that um they're rescending personnel um that we did board action on earlier. Um the need no longer exists. That was a kindergarten ECAT at Mount Lookout and they went above the 11. They're at 13 now and they actually have two more that is anticipating enrolling. And um I believe we mentioned earlier about the embedded grants that they
036are a line item in the budget and that was approved and we were holding off a little bit because there were some modifications but the modifications was not to the embedded ELA and math. It was to another part of the funding. So we are very comfortable that we will have that funding for next um school year. You talk about you talk about the budget about the state budget. State budget I'm sorry. Yes, the state budget. Um these these CTE positions are a line item in the state budget and until the governor signs that budget, he can strike any line item um out of the budget. And so we had to wait for the budget to be signed to make sure that these grants would be funded and they were for next year. And these are
037year-to-year grants. And if we hadn't have uh if if we didn't do it during personnel season, then we we were just stuck putting the bill. Yes, that is correct. Probably be the same place this time next year, the same positions. The only good thing about next year is the legislative session will be earlier. This year it was late um because of the new governor. So next year it will be um 30 days earlier. So we would know something before personnel season. Very good. perhaps. And then we did have this is the last year uh of the implementation of the House Bill 3035 which put ECADs in first, second, and now this year third grade. So this is the last year that we should have a huge influx of ECATs at at any grade level. From
038now on out, we'll just have to watch the numbers and make sure that we are staying within in the numbers. And it'll be kind of like kindergarten. If we're really, you know, on the fence with a number of students in a class, we may have to do some personnel action so we're not carrying excess when we don't need to be. We still we will have I will have some jobs that go up tomorrow um because there will be some more ECATs where they moved around in other schools are now moved to some of these jobs that created an opening. Uh, so we should have I think we have five more positions to be posted that will go up tomorrow. And I anticipate at the most having one ECAT or one a that may not have
039a position and one cook out of all the personnel action that we did because we had some openings. Because we had some openings and we had some people that retired. Yes. I'd be happy to answer any questions that you might have. Well, I just want to u one of the items on the agenda is is Miss Whites was retiring at the end of this year and I just want to thank her for the two years that she has worked in this position to uh help us try to get this our budget and our personnel back in line where it needed to be. It's a thankless job. It's a hard job and um she's had to have those tough discussions with people and it's not easy to do. It's not very popular position sometimes. I' I've
040been there and done that and she's done it with with a lot of professionalism and grace and and I appreciate her very much. Well, not only that, she was doing transportation for She was still doing transportation this morning with Mark here who she was had bus drivers in there talking to him about her transfers. So yes, she's done a lot. Well, if there's no other discussion, um, do we have a motion to accept the personnel agenda as presented? Make a motion. Mr. Green makes a motion. Seconded by second. Mr. Moose seconds. All in favor? I I opposed. Unanimous. Thank you. Reports SCSC. Um, there's not been a meeting recently. Okay. Right. Horizons, Mr. Green. We did not have a meeting last month. Okay. Items for future agendas, matters of the board. Um Kim, I'm assuming
041that uh um West Virginia School Board will let us know when Mr. Stats has. So just be watching for that because I think it I think he was scheduled either tomorrow or next day to do his um Okay. Yes, Julia let me know. I sent her his information and she said she let me know when he decided. Okay. So other than that, uh, anybody else have anything for future agendas or matters of the board? I saw that they sent you all an email about your the board uh evaluation. Yes. So that's probably something that has to be done. I'm not sure when the deadline is that. July 31st. Okay. So that's something something we can put for an agenda. Put it off as long as you can. uh list that on our next agenda or
042just wait and see if we hear from Shirley. I would wait, but we'll have to be prepared. Mr. Stats asked me would we swear him in and I said yes. So, we'll maybe tentively ask Mr. uh Callahan if he'd come and do that or if he's not available, M. Mr. Tucker. Either one of them. Okay, if no one has anything, future meeting dates and these times may change if their student hearings are added. Uh regular meeting Monday, May 19th, 5:00 here at the board office. Regular meeting Monday, June 2nd. um here at the board office at 5 o'clock and regular meeting Monday, June 16th, 5:00 here at the board office and everybody has been given that updated upcoming events.
