And if you'll stand, we'll say the pledge. So Dennis, you want to lead us? >> I aliance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Excellent. >> Let the record show that all board members are present in person this evening and we will begin with our items for public comment. So, we uh published a notice in the paper that the uh board would receive public comment on the proposed school calendar for the year. School calendars have been on our
002website. Is anybody here to address the school calendar? >> We will do the uh at our next regular meeting, we'll do the uh second hearing and then approval on the same night. >> Okay. It goes by popular popular >> popular vote. >> Yeah. And just to let you know the votes uh um for the in the calendars were in your packet information. Calendar one is had received 200 votes. Calendar 2 had received 49 votes. Calendar three had received 110 votes. So calendar one is the calendar that we're looking at for approval. >> Is there really that much difference in all three of them? Um, in the fourth page is a is a u, >> okay, >> comparison. Yeah. >> Okay. Good. >> For the three. That'll make it a little bit easier to look at.
003>> Okay. Thanks. >> Is the voting period over now or? >> Yeah, the voting period's over. >> All right. Any recognitions this evening? >> Yes. I want to mention that um you know we've been dealing with the u water crisis here in Wayne and we have had some companies that have made some donations uh to help us ensure that the uh schools in Wayne were open as much as possible during the water crisis. Those companies include Diversified Gas and Oil uh they're scheduled to make a donation this week. Lay water uh made a substantial donation to all of our kitchens at the four schools, the three Wayne schools in East Lynn uh for the cooks to be able to operate. And then AE has also delivered uh 10 pallets of water uh for use by
004the schools, >> right? >> And so I just wanted to uh thank them for for those donations. >> Yeah, I can tell you I'm very familiar with Lage Water. It's it's a wonderful facility. wonderful people, >> right? Very nice. >> All right, let's move on to our presentations this evening. We have an academic spotlight with uh Mr. Trevor Little from Tulsa High School. >> So, when we were planning this month's actually this was one we've been planning for how long? >> For months. >> Yeah. Yeah. A couple months. >> Two months. Yeah. Um, we wanted to really talk about I wanted them to share what they've done with their library and how you know in many schools their library is the heart of your school. So, we have a video to start out. >> Right.
005So, so we've got video um that that we'll get to and it is >> turn it a little bit. I can move >> there. That's good. Yeah. >> So, it is um was created by uh Justin Prince broadcasting class and Glenn Hayes Entertainment. Um what they have done is they did um some some they went back and found some footage that that we'll start off with of when the school first opened. Um so this is actual news footage from WSAZ and WK TV. Um and uh you know so so that it's not that it's not that our video quality is poor. That was just the best it was then, right? Um so you'll see some interviews. We've got some student interviews in there. Um along with me tonight is Mrs. Tanya Sloan who is a
006social studies teacher at Tulsa High School as well as the sponsor for our student government. she's going to speak to, you know, kind of the where the idea of taking the um, you know, what we call the library, the the the media center, and making it from because when I came back from, you know, being gone and not having stepped foot in there in, you know, over, you know, around 25 years, I hate to say, but >> it looked almost the same as when I left. And it looks completely different now. So, we've got some uh some before and after. We do also this evening we have Miss Ruth Aetta who is a student um and she volunteers some of her time in in the library and making sure that um that you know students
007are are checking out books and um you know really is kind of taking a leadership role role with that. Um Tanya, do we want to play the video first or do you want to have to give them a chance to speak and then we'll look at it? >> Whatever you want to do. Um, ladies, I'm going to let them hear from you from you first. >> So, Miss Sloan, if you want to kind of kind of talk about how this all all got started. >> Like you said, I had the student government and the student council and we had a every year, you know, we would work to do a community project and it was the students idea that we clean up our library, they said. And so, we got into, you know, cleaning up
008the library and I came across a grant. It was a leadership grant through Marshall University and um we applied for it and luckily we um well we actually received 4,000 more than what it was actually for. >> Um and they called us and um the ideal of the library is that the library is ran by the students. It's like a assimilated workplace. The students are the ones who actually run the library. They're the ones who check the books in and out. They do the upkeep with the library. They um they help you know create some activities to get uh some things going on in the library. U we have about 30 students who have volunteered their time. We've made out a schedule. Um the students will they can't come out of their core classes but
009they can their electives and they give one hour a week to the library and they come in and you know they're the ones that really help keep the library up and you know they oversee it. Um but I mean it's it's a work ass s assimilated place. I mean the students they they know their day that they are to come to work and they're there um you know they learn a lot of um responsibility you know um they're becoming more reliable they learn leadership skills um you know they work as a team uh we've divided them up into uh job titles and they appreciated that. just just to jump in for a second. They they recently sent out letters to um >> Oh, yeah. >> to to to students who had who had overdue books
010like just like in the old days and then they came just pouring back in. So, it was it was really neat. They're like they're like, "Here, I've got this letter and here's my book. Can you make sure it gets to the library to get back in?" >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. And the students did that, too, you know. Um, and you know, we appreciate the school board helping us to pay for our program that we go online. Uh, but yeah, you know, they I showed them how to download all that stuff and they printed off all of the sheets, sent them out to all the students, and yeah, we got a lot of our books back, too. >> But, you know, the students have jobs. We have some that are are designers, you know, they keep
011up with our bulletin boards in the library, and then we have one out in the hall. We have some that we call our tech people. Uh they are the ones that do our social stuff on the online. They also um create posters um you know for any kind of activities that we have going on. Our library it is used by everybody you know everybody. And um I mean when we have co college representatives come they always come to the library. When you guys come you come to the library >> right? Yeah. So, it's it's been a um a good experience for all of the students >> and currently we have about 30 some books that are checked out. >> Nice. >> It's coming about and Ruth is going to share with you some things that
012we have planned for our library. >> U most people don't know this, but April is the National Library Month. This year we are going to be celebrating that by doing a few events that show off our library. Number one is the masked reader. We are going to have volunteer teachers come up and they'll stand behind a like a panel and they will read off a poem, their favorite book or anything that has inspired them throughout their life and they will read it. the kids will get to sit on the other side and they'll get to guess which teacher it is >> which for most of us because we all love all the teachers we'll know exactly who it is >> right >> but it is brings in the bonding of a teacher and a student
013to know that hey I like that book too >> right >> or hey that sounds like a really good poem which would bring both the students and teachers together but bring more students into reading cuz well most kids my age usually talk like texting >> right >> by spelling you with only a U and that's true >> and this way if they start reading their grammar will get better giving them more college opportunities more reasons to work more opportunities to show out and see what these books are talking about. Another one is our my favorite book tasting. We'll make the library into this little cafe and each table has a different genre and like mystery, horror, things like that. And kids love that. Okay. Right. >> Graphic novels, comic books, my favorite. I would love
014that. And we get to bring out these books and like they're in their little kit container and we bring them to it and they get to read it and after they're done reading it, they have a new genre to look into because >> it's a genre. Like I love myself a new book. I love reading all the time. But it's not only Tulsa High School that we're handling with. We're with the Fort Gay. We're with the public library at the Fort Gay and they're going to be helping us with the Libby. Um, this is I believe it's a program, right? >> A like app that helps you like return books or read more books. And yeah, these kids need books, >> right? Gives you access, right? Uh, and for gay, we'll be bringing in books
015that we can have more books >> for people to read because nothing's better than the real coffee, >> right? >> Because there might be little Easter hunts in there and things like that. But April isn't the only time we're going to be doing events. Like I brought this up for May, May the 4th for Star Wars or We have fork and film. I don't know if you guys know this, but fork and film is usually when you watch a movie and during the movie they will bring snacks that represent that scene and it's beautiful. I love a good snack with my movie. >> And this is just all coming together. We have a book club that everybody likes coming to. I got into a new hobby because of my book club called bookmarking. And I
016love to make bookmarks. >> I I find great interest into that. And we have more students that are just coming into this book club because they're hearing about these new books and they're like, "Man, I never heard of that book. Why don't I read it?" >> And I'm like, "Yay, you get to read now." >> And that's honestly what we have. >> That's wonderful. just >> so when I arrived the books that were that had been there many of which for you know over 30 years there had been an issue with um with during during one summer I don't know how far back um but it was um that the books had got damaged by mold so we had to get rid of literally the majority of the older books that were in there so
017in many cases we we were kind of starting from scratch. Um, but you know, that also allowed students to, you know, to to see new books and it's not just the old classics that they're reading in, you know, in in Mrs. Muny's class or or Mr. Copley's class. Um, which has been really nice. So, I'm going to go ahead and have um Tanya play the video. Like I said, this video was put together um by the students in Mr. Prince's broadcasting class. There's a new tradition beginning in Wayne County. Beware of the bright blue and orange of the towns of Rebels. This is their home, a spacious $4 million complex on Route 52 between Crown and Fort Gay. >> When Possel High School opened its doors in 1988, one of the crown jewels of the
018new school was its state-of-the-art media center. But over the course of the next three decades, as technology grew, the Tulsa High School Media Center found itself outdated. But thanks to Mrs. Tanya Sloan and several of her students, renovations have occurred over the last two school years to help bring Tulsa High School Media Center into the modern era. Well, we had a leak with our roof. So, we had a lot of our books that were damaged with mold. So, we had to remove all of our books. We had to do some deep cleaning with our shelves. Um, we had our carpet removed. We replaced it. We painted the walls. We got all new books in here. So, we've done a lot. The next step for the media center is to continue to build the school's library
019of books into a larger selection while installing all new desktop computers to give both teachers and students access to the latest in both computer hardware and software, enhancing the overall education here at Tulsa High School. >> I think it's a really big improvement. It's a lot neater than it was. for Glen Hayes Entertainment. I'm Jesse Gr. >> That is quite an update. >> I mean, it it is quite an update. Like I said, when I came back in, it was still the >> the pink carpet was in there. The the old stacks and and when you see all the tables that were in the library then, and they're all spread out now. You're like, "How did all those tables fit in that one tiny spot >> with the shelves and stacks?" >> Yeah, >> that's
020great. Anytime you have a space like that for kids to gather and, you know, come together and and share ideas >> and even mentor the younger kids, if we could get um some kind of path between Fort Gay Elementary and Tulsa High School and let them read to the to the younger kids, um I think that'd be fantastic. you know, anytime we can introduce the young ones to the um to the arts and to the books and uh to the old classics and the new graphic novels, that's that's always a a positive. So, thank you very much for all of that and all your hard work because it's absolutely shows for sure. >> Thank you. >> Very good. Thank you for having us. >> Thank you. >> Thanks. picture. >> Let's get a little closer.
021>> Yeah, but don't walk it. >> Jeez. >> Thank you all. >> Thank you very much. >> Thank you for having us. T forever. What was the student's name again? >> Rutha. >> Ruth, >> you did a wonderful job. >> Fantastic. >> You did great. >> All right. Great. >> That was nice. But we can move on to our good news section. Crumb PK8 recognition. >> Yes. So, under good news, um, Crumb PreK through eight, and I was going to be a little bit more um, specific about their recognition, but the, uh, uh, state board of education has asked us to wait. They're going to do an official announcement, but they have a special recognition that's coming up in April. They will be recognized at uh some members of the staff will be recognized at
022a West Virginia Board of Education meeting and I will share more information with you at the uh in a non-public setting. >> Gotcha. Okay. >> Um also on our good news list, we had another coach that has been honored. Mike Hall is the swim coach out at Spring Valley High School. He was named the MSAC swim coach of the year. >> So congratulations to Mike. He's okay. Good job. >> And you don't have to recuse yourself. >> All right, let's move on to ourformational items. Uh, special board meeting on Tuesday, February the 17th, beginning at 4 at CK Elementary. Um, and then we will move to CK Middle at 5:15. A regular board meeting on Tuesday, February 24th, here in the conference room at 6 o'clock. >> Okay, >> everybody okay with those? >> Yes.
023>> Great. Okay, moving on to our construction project updates. >> Yeah, and the information I gave you tonight, the very first page of that is the latest um progress meeting agenda from the Serita Canova alumni gym project. Right in the middle of the page, it just gives you the progress that's been made since the last meeting. That includes electrical wiring that's been pulled through the conduit um at the gym floor in the lobby. um duct work installation is nearing completion. Uh outside units uh were set in place and that's for the u heating and ventilation and uh there was a first unannounced safety inspection audit was carried out by Mountaineer Safety that's part of this project. So things are progressing there and again we should be finished here. I think we'll probably finish up by
024uh April with that project. >> Great. And that was one of our MIP projects, right? >> Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, a large portion of that funding is state funding. And then, um, I wanted to mention as well on your agenda tonight, I mentioned this at the last meeting, I believe, we have a bleacher purchase, uh, for Wayne High School. Uh, the we have flagged some bleachers down there that need to be replaced. Uh, just they're just too old and uh are becoming a hazard. Uh so we're going to be replacing four sets of bleachers. Uh there are uh the bleachers that are underneath the uh overhang. Um we'll put two sets underneath there and then one on the visitor side of the baseball field. And then we're going to replace the other section over at
025the softball field. We've already replaced one there. We're going to go ahead and replace the other one. >> Okay. Uh, this purchase is from our cooperative purchasing through Mountain State. It's a really good price. So, I was pleased with the price that came in. I really thought it was going to be more than that. Um, also in your information I provided you tonight on page two, I had mentioned that we are going to uh be doing some lighting work down at the Tulsa High School baseball field. the lights that are on the field are too much for the current wiring and so we need to replace with LED lights. Um, so on page two is a and I already see a correction that needs to be made. This is a draft of the uh this
026is a draft of the spec that we're going to put out. I probably put this out tomorrow uh so we can get prices for installing um eight poles there. Uh, the LED lights have to we have to switch the poles because they have to be higher in the air. >> Excuse me, Todd. Did you say baseball or football? >> Baseball. That's the That's the correction. >> Okay. I was getting confused. >> Yeah, it's the it's the baseball field. So, there's going to be u we'll replace eight poles there. And then, um, we're going to purchase the, uh, lights separately. our welding crew will make the brackets for the lights and then we'll install those on the poles. So, that's going to go out for bid by the end of this week. And then finally, um
027we don't have the specs yet. We've got a meeting scheduled Monday with a with a contractor to look at uh the work that needs to be done on the drainage at the Spring Valley High School for the football field and then a replacement of a u replacement of a water line at the baseball field. That's work that's going to that has to be done or we'll end up having some significant problems there. So, that'll be the next spec that I share with you. >> Okay, >> that's everything we've got going on right now. >> Okay, great. Any questions on any of those construction projects? >> The maintenance man be doing the installation of the bleachers? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> All right. No delegations this evening. >> Back to the superintendent reports. >>
028Yeah. Um page three of your document. At our last regular meeting, I provided you a U FY27 budget reduction planning update. This is the latest document as of today. >> It's on page three. >> Got yours, Dennis? >> It's in that one. >> Page three or number three, not page three. >> Each document is numbered. Yeah. So again, as we've discussed for several months, our target our target that we're looking at is a reduction of approximately $4.2 million. It's listed on this paper as 4,189,000. And so um the reductions that we've identified so far, um with the closure of Genanoa and Dunlow, that's projected to save approximately 1.6 6 million. Um, we have another $197,000 in contract reductions and eliminations that we've identified. We've had $29,000 in utility uh deductions from um being a moving
029on from some of the uh property that was no longer used for school purposes. Um looking at the elementary side of things, uh there's consideration given to the current um ECATs that are in place. Uh last year we hired interventionist at the third grade level. So we're given some consideration to having interventionists at the second grade level. So those numbers that you see represented there would be the reduction if that occurred. And the reason that you see the elementary professional at zero is because if that switch did occur um then professional positions would have to be hired. So any eliminations there would be used for those um interventionist positions. Um secondary professional positions are on page two. Uh we're looking at approximately $72,000 in reductions uh from our secondary professional positions. no reductions on the
030service side there. Administrationwise or um non-classroom support that is in the district. Uh that number has raised since I last uh shared the numbers with you. We've raised that to 603,000. There's been three more positions that we've identified. Two positions that we can switch over to federal funds and another position that would be eliminated. Um so that uh accounts for about 14.75% of the budget coming or of the reduction coming from administration and non-classroom support. So the total identified to date is at 4,88,000 and the remaining number to target is 100,000. So we are close uh to be able to move forward with a plan uh that will get us to the number that we need to be at. looking at the middle of your page. Um, and again, these are drafts. I'm still going
031over everything and regoing re rechecking everything. And there's a possibility that, you know, some of these numbers will shift, but this is a basic idea of where we are now. So, um, with the loss of 220 students this year, uh, our state funded positions projected for next year are basically 441 professional positions and 307 service positions. And you see what those numbers are with the number of current employees that we have. We currently have 503 professionals, 384 service positions. Uh with the plans that uh from the that we just went over with the cuts that we're looking at, uh it would lower that professional number from a 62 overage number to approximately 36 and it would lower the service overage number from 78 to 46. Going on to page four. This fits right in with
032the budget planning. Our personnel season for the year is u you know the planning is underway. Uh we're looking at delivering letters to employees who are going to be impacted by any cuts or transfers. Those letters will be delivered by the end of the month. These are target dates and they're subject to change. Uh February 24th is what's listed there. We want to get those delivered by the end of the month. And then um the uh hearings, we would look at March the 24th to conduct any personnel hearings that employees would request that are impacted by the process. And then we would follow up with a April 14th uh board approval date uh for the riffs and transfers. And then the board would look at approving probationary contracts and all professional placements on April 21st
033for people who are transferred to to new slots. And again, those dates are subject to change. We just have to have everything completed by May 1st. But that's the basic outline of what we're looking at now. Any questions regarding those numbers? anything you want us focusing on for the percentages over overall cuts. I just hate it that we have to do it affects people's families, jobs, but we we're stuck >> because we keep losing population. >> Yeah. Well, and as the as the enrollment drops, you know, we'll have to continue to adjust. And I mean, it's just a >> every year thing. >> Chasing our tail here. >> Yeah. >> By the way, I did see one typo. The hearings that said 2025 instead of 26, >> okay, >> that's always good at catching those
034things. >> Perfect. But the um um the the good thing about it is is that >> with retirements and and positions that open up, you can't put these people in vacancies, >> right? >> Like if you know you have a vacancy for the next year, you can't just put you can't put them in. You have to go through a riff and transfer process and then you the job has to be bid certified too. >> Yeah. The job has to be bid and all that. So, when all is said and done, um, we usually get everybody back in place. There's some of there's been few exceptions to to everybody not having a full-time job by the beginning of the year. >> Yeah. I think we only had two last year that didn't return and they didn't
035return. >> Yeah. It might not be where they want to be, but >> Right. >> They got another job. >> Yeah. >> So, it's just stressful. >> All right. Next thing in your packet, page five. So, I've seen some discussion online about um when students are not attending public school, about districts still receiving money for those students, >> right? >> And that's come up in our meeting with the legislators. you know, they've asked that >> I think they said that the state gets something like 15,000 per student and that, you know, we're getting 7,000, you know, where does where's the other money go, that type of thing, >> right? So, um I reached out to the uh state finance office to ask about how how exactly does that work because it's my understanding we get
036approximately $7,000 per student. >> Correct. Total. >> But they have to be enrolled. >> They have to be enrolled and they have to be attending our schools and they have to be enrolled on October 1st. And that's the money that we get. And if a student's not enrolled, we don't get that $7,000. Right? >> So, I had a conversation with them about, you know, it is the things that are being said true about this this money coming even though the students don't attend. So, they gave me an example from Canal County Schools. And I didn't do this form, Randy, but I see a typo on this one, too. >> Hey, you wouldn't want to see all the typos I put out sometimes. Um but they they sent this example. So basically when the federal government
037sends money to the state that's that's the title programs, >> right? >> And so there is money that comes to the districts based upon the number of children that live in the district regardless of where they attend school. >> Right? So, if you are a county that has private schools uh in your in your district, then that money that comes in, you are obligated to provide title one services for those private schools and those private schools can request that money. Um, now there's and I know just just from past experience, there's some there's some they have to sign on to the accountability with the money. You know, there's certain things that are in place and depending on which administration is in charge at the national level. You know, depends on what some of those things
038are. They have to agree to all the strings attached with the money, but then they can draw down the money. if you don't have a private school in your district, which we don't. No. >> Then that money stays in the title programs. And so here, and they're supposed to work us up an example for Wayne County, uh, to show us exactly how much that would be. But, uh, they look at a basic allocation. And here for the sample that they used was Canal County Schools. The basic allocation was $890. There's a concentrated allocation. I've never dealt with these terms before. I've never seen these before. So I It's approximately 230 bucks. Uh targeted allocation 744 and an EFIG allocation. >> What's EFI? >> That's a good question. >> I'm glad you asked that. I was
039getting ready to >> When we get our numbers, we'll we'll get a we'll get a full explanation as to what they are. So for for Canal County schools, they receive about 2,800 uh per child that is in those title programs. So there are some monies that are coming in, but those are federal restricted dollars, >> right? For >> they're earmarked for specific purposes. They can't be used >> they can't be used for >> uh personnel unless it's personnel inside of that title one school, that type of thing. Um, so >> it has to be a title one school, which not all of our schools are title one. No, >> no, we have specific ones. >> None of them. >> Gosh, I don't off the top of my head. I'm not sure. >> I think it's
040less than that. I think closer to six or seven. >> I think it's most elementary schools. >> You mentioned that we we have to give money to private schools or make sure there it's allocated for certain things >> if there's a private school. Well, we don't have it, but if we did, public schools are still getting stuck with providing services for private schools, >> right? >> Yeah. >> How's that fair? >> Well, the money's the money's per child and so those children are going to that school. So, the money follows the uh the money follows the child. So, um it there is some truth to the fact that federal dollars uh do come into the district, but again, it comes in through those federal funds that are uh earmarked. >> Very specific. >> Yeah. >>
041Right. >> Okay. >> When when we say that we receive seven almost $7,000 per student, is that including the title funds? Because Okay. >> No. So we we lose $7,000 per if a student withdraws, we lose $7,000 when they're not enrolled the the next school year, >> right? So that's that's in in addition to this correct money. >> But this again only goes to students that are in title schools, >> not all students. >> Correct. Okay. Page six, the water situation in Wayne that has affected Wayne Elementary, Wayne Meadow, Wayne High, and East Land. Um, as you've followed along, and some of you have lived um the right. >> Yeah. Um, >> yes, we have. >> They have be they've released the water's um available for consumption. you have to go through line flushing processes.
042>> Now, obviously for us that's going to be >> complicated. >> Yes. >> So, uh what I have here in your packet is a a sample. I asked for um our food service, our safety director, and our maintenance to work together to come up with a procedure to make sure that all lines are flushed in the schools before we give the green light on resuming regular use of the water. And so uh this is a checklist. I just wanted to provide this. This one had been completed by one of the schools and and turned in where they had completed a number of the task. So this is the process that we're going through. Uh we also have to change filters. Our our maintenance have went around. It's my understanding they've drained all the hot water
043tanks and then you know those have been refilled after they were drained out. Um we also have to replace filters in the steam ovens. Um we have to replace uh filters in the uh bottle filling stations that that has to occur as well. And then um there's filters in the ice makers that so the ice makers have to be cleaned. Um Colonial, our vendor for our kitchens, is going to have to come in and and bring those filters in to change them in the steamer ovens. And so there's a number of things that have to happen before we give the green light on regular use. As of today, we are still operating with bottled water. The kitchens are still using the water from Lay. We're still using the portable handwashing stations in the building. Matter
044of fact, we had those. The kids are going through those like crazy. They said they've never seen kids wash their hands like they do with those portable. >> Yeah. Um, so anyway, all those things are still in place.
