001Dr. Lashley, would you report to the table, please? [laughter] >> [applause] [applause] >> Good evening to you all. Today is June 30th, 2026. The special call meeting is now being called to order. There is an establishment of a quorum. May I hear a motion to approve the agenda as printed? >> Madam Chair, I move that we approve the agenda as printed. >> I second it. >> It has been moved and second to approve the agenda as printed. Any discussion on this item? Hearing or seeing no discussion, may I see a show of hands of all of those in favor? That vote is unanimous. Thank you. We will now receive his information our job description for senior executive director of school leadership and continuous improvement, Dr. Lash. Good afternoon, Madame President, Vice President, esteemed board members,
002and superintendent Dr. Bird. Uh, thank you all for allowing me to just uh quickly introduce this position. Uh, you may recall in the last uh board connection um that Dr. Bird has mentioned his ongoing efforts for organizational uh alignment and so this is one of those positions that will help us to do so. Recently there has been developed a new division of school leadership and continuous improvement. And so the senior executive director will be that person that will lead this division. And it's going to call for more realignment of our organizational structure so that we can have greater efforts around the performance of school leaders and creating a more coherent system. So this is all moving in the direction of where we are going as uh our new way and new day in Montgomery public
003schools. Before this as you recall these positions um we have our executive direct directors that exist right now. these this work has been merged with our um uh accountability uh uh uh educational uh piece of it. But now we're going to look at school leadership and we're going to look at um uh academics as well. So this position will serve in that capacity. >> Thank you, Dr. Lashley. Any questions? Dr. Lashley, we thank you so much. We know you're not feeling good and I pray that you feel better. Real. >> All right. Next. Apogee. Miss Rosanna Brutin. Three share media subscription renewal. >> Hello everyone. Dr. Bird, Madame President, and members of the board. I'm here to just share some information regarding the annual renewal of our partnership with Apigy and uh that Thrillshare media
004subscription. I'm going to go ahead and call for our website to be pulled up. This is really what it's all about when you hear about Thrillshare and Aptigy. And so rather than a formal presentation, I want to just quickly walk you through this. So renewing our contract with Aptigy means renewing the communication infrastructure that supports every school in Montgomery public school. So, not only our district website, but also our school websites, our latest news section, so many different sections within our website. Um, but also our emergency communication with parents and then mobile communication as well as rooms, which we will be implementing in the fall. Um and that is more of our uh family engagement type tool that will enhance uh family parent communication with teachers. So again so many different features for our website.
005I can highlight those again. district website, school websites, emergency communication, everything that you would think of when it comes to uh the first perception that someone gains when they come onto our website, whether they are prospective parent, a prospective employee, or a community member. If you all have any questions. >> Very good. Any questions or comments for Miss Brutin? Thank you, Rosanna, so much. >> Thank you. >> Next, Mr. Anderson will be with us a minute. He's going to go over Baldwin um middle school roof replacement bid followed by the digital marquee bid for BrewBaker. Good evening, Dr. Miss Poris, Miss Watkins Smith, and members of the board. The Baldwin Middle School roof replacement bid, that is a definitely a time-sensitive um measure that we need to move forward with as quickly as possible. We
006did come in under budget for this item, but there's some a lower roof section of that project that where we're going to have to pull some mechanical off in the cafeteria area and and get that on prior to school starting. So, it is of a time-sensitive nature uh with that with that bid. The digital marquee bid is again we're trying to complete some of these prior to the the start of school or shortly thereafter. Uh those are been strategically kind of put in different areas like hightra areas for example Goodwin. Uh we did have two kind of closer in the same area Fitzpatrick and McKe but Fitzpatrick had funding towards to put towards that so it offset some of those costs and it also the that bid came in under budget as well. The maintenance
007HVAC filter replacement service and the maintenance HVAC equipment preventative maintenance service. This is something that is definitely coming in. You know, we're out today, it's 100 plus degrees and we're in that time frame. Uh we've been kind of limping along through with our people uh with two technicians and a helper and a supervisor uh trying to keep up with some of this work. So, it is something that we would like to get in place prior to the start of school when the teachers come back to make sure that we're keeping up those services and being as responsive as we can. It's it's a goal for us to answer all HVAC calls at least within a 24-hour period and then also emergency situations within an hour. So, uh we we struggled through the spring a little
008bit with that, but these services will help us get back on track with some manpower that's definitely needed. And then the Johnson Abernathy Gratz elevator renovation bid. I've been speaking about that the last several board meetings and that is coming in here. We were under budget on this one as well. um trying to get going on that so that we can put some of the components for the the fire alarm in now so that it will alleviate some of the the noise making and the things that disruptions that could happen uh during the school day. We want to try to jump on that and get as much going as we can prior to the start of school to to mitigate some of those disruptions. >> I have a comment. Okay, >> President Chad, first of
009all, thanks for staying under budget. you know, on on so many of them. And the other thing you didn't say, but you did say, and I and I don't know if anybody's watching this, but at home or teachers or whatever, but >> um I think it's interesting that you said that um a school stepped up to pay part of the marquee. Correct. And sometimes these schools that want mares, if they think that we might help them, you know, at least they know they can come to us. So, I appreciate that. >> Yes, ma'am. They they work and have some community partners that wanted to to help them out and approached me back in the spring and we started the design on it and this follows suit with the digital boards that we've been placing. Uh,
010one of the great things is Miss Brutin's team can actually control those boards from right here where they are and put content on there if there's some kind of emergency notification that needs to go out. So, we really like that one platform. >> Yes, ma'am. >> Any other questions or comments? Chad, thank you so much. I know you were concerned about these and they are although we have not heard them we know that it's the start of school and I assured you that these board members would understand. >> Yes ma'am. >> Don't they look understanding? >> They always always work well. [laughter] >> Thank you so much. All right. We're to our consent agenda at this time. Dr. Bird. >> Thank you so much, Madam President, board members. Madam President, board members. Uh at this
011time, superintendent requests your approval of consent action items A through K. >> Madame President, I move that we accept the consent agenda agenda item 5 A through K. >> I second it. >> Excellent. Thank you. Uh the re the superintendent has made a recommendation to accept the consent agenda items 5A through 5K. Uh it has been uh motioned and second. May I see any discussion on those items? Hearing or seeing no discussion, may I see a show of hands of all of those in favor? >> It is unanimous. Thank you. Consider for approval. >> Thank you.

Put your microphone on, please. >> Dr. Bird, I know that we are getting ready to get um people hired and everything like that and you're doing such a wonderful job and you're trying to um get that taken care of in terms of the um the um background checks. So, we have approved a number and we're about to approve a number that are pending background checks. Do we ever get the return information as to whether those who we have um on the agenda in the previous agenda, do we get information coming back to us as to whether any have failed the um background check or do
013we have any information that follows up on that? >> Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am. Thank you for that question. For that great question, uh M Brown. Yes, ma'am. And so, uh, once an applicant actually applies for a position, uh, in their application portal, they actually, uh, consent to a background check and once that is done, that information is actually sent to the various agencies, including the state department. And the state department actually contracts with, uh, agencies such as ABI and FBI. And so, uh, it usually takes probably between two to four weeks, uh, for the state department to actually to send us a notice stating that that person has a clear background check. So we actually receive that information and the applicant receives that information as well. And so if it's cleared, everything goes through. Uh
014however, uh if a background check is not cleared, uh then we actually get that information as well. Uh and then that's when we may have to go back and actually reverse action. Uh and so we've not had to do that just yet. Uh but if that does occur, then we'll go back and resend our offer. Yes, sir. >> Yes, sir. Yes, sir. >> Good question. Uh, any more questions or comments?
