How about a brother up here? How's everybody doing tonight? >> Good. All right, we got a lot of people here this evening because we're going to uh honor a couple groups of people. All right, we're going to do them separately, but uh no less important. Our first group we're going to honor is our maintenance custodial staff. And right now, I'm going to ask Daryl DS to come up here and join me. Please give him a round of applause. I just want to take a moment to recognize our custodial and maintenance teams for the incredible work that they
004have done over this past summer. A lot of you guys who are watching on streaming tonight or you're coming here as a guest this evening may not understand uh that there's a lot of work that gets done in the summertime to prepare one school, right? We now have five schools. Okay. So, generally that's a lot of work we got to do regardless. You got people taking vacations. All right. You got shorter days. You got a 4-day work week. There's a lot of things that can go on. It's a lot of work to be done. Not only did they have to do that, but prepare for the 25 26 school year. We also had to prepare for the transition of not one but two schools. Let me explain what that means for those of you who
005are watching who might not know who are guests here tonight. Our first grade was trans was at Laurel Elementary School. We ran out of room there. All right. So, we had to move them over to Nlea. So, that's one transition. We're bringing first grade rooms over. We're getting rooms ready. They hadn't been used in years. And they got all of those up to standard in no time. Not only did they do that, but then our principles and our staff got together at Laurel Elementary Intermediate School and they said, "You know what? Let's switch sides of the house." All right, let I think our elementary kids would be better suited on the stairwell and upstairs and our intermediate school since there's only two grades would be better suited down the other hallway. They all did this.
006We We said, "Wow, if you can get your staff to do that, you got to get staff buy in. You got to make that happen. I'm not putting that on the custodians unless we got 100 or at least very close to agreement on this." And guess what those staffs did? They said, "Yeah, we like that switch. We'll do it." So now we've got to get ready for 25 26 and totally transition to other schools. Ladies and gentlemen, that's why we want to tonight honor those men and women who served us so gratefully and so and so well in getting all those schools ready for this 25 20 uh 26 school year. Um and Daryl DS being the head of our maintenance team. I wanted to bring him up here first. And uh Darl, you got
007a couple words for us? You got anything? I'd love I'd love to share a few. >> Thank you. Thank you. Well, first of all, I want to thank the board. I want to thank Dr. Laramore and Mr. Giza for recognizing our staff tonight because we do have a great staff. >> Yes. And u [Applause] and uh I I will tell you I've been in facilities in one district or another for the past 26 years and this is the busiest summer I've ever been involved in. And I just to name over a few projects that we did. I mean we did the move that Dr. Lamour talked about. We also did the track uh refinishing. We did the jew the gym floor refinishing in both middle. Yeah. We uh redid the steps and walkway at North
008Laurel. We did a sidewalk between the stadium and the parking lot. And going into the summer, I thought, "Oh my gosh, I don't know how we're going to get it done." And I just want to share with you how we got it done. I I want to recognize I I wish I could name everybody, but I want to recognize like the move at least. Dantree and Bruce and his staff, they did that project. They never called me about anything. They oversaw that project. They made sure that got done. They made sure the summer cleaning got done. I was amazed when I went in there. So, I especially thank you for you guys for that. >> Yep. at at North Florals. There's a lot of work that was behind the scenes uh for moving first grade
009and a lot of things like installing HBAC equipment uh cove basing the flooring. Uh gosh, I I I wrote it down, but new blinds. You cut your hand square off. >> We got new locks. We got new signage and I want to recognize Gil Stevenson and Keith Bell for leading that project and and I want to recognize Bud Smith and Todd Smith and Drew Ellison for being there to move old furniture out of there and getting that job done. I unbelievable what they've done. And then for the high school staff with Aaron Johnson, I kept stealing help from him every chance I got. and uh but somehow him and his staff, I don't know how they did it, but they still short-handed. They made the school look great during the summer. So, I I really
010appreciate that. >> Yeah, we uh we had a lot of uh good substitute help. Um Mark Arnold, our math teacher at the high school, he stepped in this summer and helped us as a sub and he did a great job painting. He painted at North Florida. He painted ales. I appreciate Mark for doing that for us. >> Thanks very much. [Applause] >> Um Amy Handy and Officer Handy, they they provided us help through the uh young men that were involved in the uh youth and empowerment program. And I'm very grateful for that. They did a great job for us. I thank you both for that. I I feel like I I want to mention everybody's name, but I'm not able to. But I I'm telling you, as a supervisor facility, I'm I'm very proud of
011the staff that I'm working with. I'm very grateful. I'm very grateful for every one of you. I appreciate y'all. >> Thank you, Chris. Thanks, Bob. >> Before we start calling up uh our uh our maintenance and custodial staff, um there's one group of people that I know that uh Daryl uh really was impressed with and he told me that several times. Um please come up and join us. Uh Mrs. Amy Handy and Officer Lean Handy. you can come back up here. Um what uh he was so impressed with when they were so when he kept stealing all those uh um staff members from LHS. Um it would have been even worse if they didn't have the help of a certain number of youth who work with the empowering uh youth program. I'm going to let
012Mrs. Mrs. Handy talk about that and and officer Hick can join in as well. >> So our youth empowerment um program was something that I um brainstormed with Miss Sandy who um had a big influence when I first started working here on our youth and out in the community. I came to her and I wanted to figure out how we could empower these young students to try to make income the right way. they spent a lot of time seeing older members in the community make money the wrong way and how quick it was for them. So I went to her and I said, "How can we do something to make a change?" And she said, "Well, it's going to take you as Pur and she said that she'll be there for me every step of
013the way." And we came together and we put something um in place with Dr. Larmore and we were able to get these kids here. They um were able to step in and say, "You know what? We're going to buy into your program. we're going to hear what you say. And kids started to get here at 7 in the morning, well before the time we start um told them to get here and they started working with Daryl and our cring staff and it felt good that they got rewarded for the hard work they did and they started showing up and then more kids started asking and from there we kind of built something that now we're already getting kids asking, hey, how can we help this summer? So Daryl, thank you your guys for taking that
014leadership role and showing them how to actually work and your custodian staff, Aaron, a lot of them went with Shelby while they were short-handed and you guys kind of played role as role models that they don't have any. So I I'm grateful for you guys, especially Aaron and Shelby for taking them in for most of your days and having to deal with some of the issues of them slacking off a little bit and you guys step in on on top of the job you already had to do. So we appreciate you guys. I'm not going to add that much more because I have something else to say a little later, but I just want to applaud our school resource officer. He is definitely in the right spot at this time for our young men. I
015mean, because he his first reaction isn't like a disciplinary to these boys. I mean, he he counsels them. He talks to them. He shares his story with them. And I know he has a heart for them. So we are so blessed to have a school resource officer as office corporal handy working with these young men. All right. At this point, uh, Mr. DS is going to call up his custodial and maintenance team. And, uh, once you guys all have your certificates, if you could stay up here with us so we can take a Polaroid. I appreciate it. >> Look, I wanna I I can't believe I forgot the North Laurel staff. I Bo and Albert and and Cindy and Brenda and Tony and Q. Uh they had summer school. They did their summer cleaning and
016they made sure those rooms were clean and waxed before we moved furniture in there. So appreciate you guys for that, too. So So as I call your name, if you could come up so we can get a Polaroid like Dr. Lmore said. So Chris Jones, Tony Mattella, [Applause] Brian Vincent, [Applause] Mark Arnold, >> Bruce Baker, slow downing what we do. That's why >> Todd Smith. Jill Stevenson, >> Shelby Phillips, [Applause] Aaron Johnson, >> Dantree Matthews, [Applause] Brenda Bingham, [Applause] Bud Smith, [Applause] Albert Jefferson, >> Mike Price, Cindy Jennis, >> Pam Johnson, Neil Seismore, >> Belton Carney. I remember my father telling me, he said, "You surround yourself with good people and great things happen." And we got some good people here and I appreciate every one of them. I'm honored to be working with them.
017>> Thank you. >> Awesome. [Applause] >> Okay. I I didn't miss anybody that I know we got more that are not here, but I just wanted to call out the the people that came. >> Hey, uh guys, what a what a great turnout for this, huh? Give it up for him. Give it up for him. If the board will join us for a picture, please drink water in the back. >> All drinking waters in the back. Here we go. >> They go in the back. >> Let's just hope it don't break it. I'll drink a water. >> Nice. Nice. Ladies and gentlemen, can I have Mike Brown come up and join me, please, for our second round? Give it up for Mike Brown. [Applause] I'm going to do the same thing that I uh I
018did with uh with Daryl and his staff. Um I'm going to set the stage. I'm going to let Mike take over and call some names. But before that, I want to set the stage and then Mike can give you a little bit more background. Can you imagine? Yeah, you guys are human, right? You guys got flesh. Can you imagine doing something the same way for two years and then somebody coming along and telling you got to do it a different way? How would you feel about that? >> How about five years, >> 15, 20? For 20 years, the people who are operating what we call then the echool plus system. That was the software we used. That was the that was the uh platform that we used, eschool plus. All right. It changed a couple
019times. power school, but it was still the same setup. They did their job the same way for 20 years. You're talking about registering kids, looking up uh parent contacts, guardian contacts, putting in medications, confidential counseling information, all of these things for 20 years. And then the state went with another vendor and we had six months to turn that around. And believe me, I didn't take a look at it at all because I didn't want to go crazy because I saw the craziness that was going on with everybody else. And it was a lot. It was a lot to take in, wasn't it? Huh? Yeah. But you know what? As typical as typical for Laurel, you guys circle the wagons. You made it work. All right. Now, I'm not saying there's not bumps in the road,
020but you guys are making it work. And the more I'm running into people now, the more they're telling me, you know what? It's not that bad at all. Not that bad at all. There's a lot of great things about it. It just takes some time to getting over what you're used to and being open to try something new. So, I'm going to stop stealing Mike's thunder and Mike, uh, before you announce, why don't you add on what you got to say about it? Thank you. Give it up for Mike Brown. [Applause] You know, I I Darl, I too have been here 26 years doing it management and I've been through two building projects and two previous changes of school information system. And I'd do all four of those again before I did Infinite Campus. Um,
021it was a lot of work. And after 20 years of using the same system, we were so used to how everything worked and we customized it just so nice. And this new system has come along and as Dr. Laramore said, "We had a lot of challenges, >> but the people of Laurel, you guys took a hold of this and you owned it and you moved with it." And I literally had people saying, "I'm learning this because I can do my job better if I learn this. I figured out this and now I can do this to help so and so and do this and it's going to be better for the parents." And I heard so many of our people talk about the positives through the change. There were some tears. There were some real
022tears. Might have been a little bit of shouting. Um, and it was all welld deserved, but every one of the people that worked on this project, um, they looked for how is this going to make things better for our students, for our parents, for our teachers, and that was the attitude that they brought into this. And that's why we are as far along as we are today. So, I want to do my special shout out. I've got my team. I pushed them harder than I've ever pushed them. So, if they still look a little dazed, cut them some slack. I really pushed them this hard. Um, Will Hoffman, Elbert Collins, Sean Bundick, they did more in student information systems than they had ever done before. Um, and taking that workload and spreading that around has
023helped a lot in us getting as far as we have in the back end. And then I've got I've got Josh and Aaron. And those guys stepped up. Everybody knows them. You see them in the buildings all the time. They're always working with the Chromebooks. They had all their summer work to do to get all the Chromebooks ready, which did everybody know Chromebooks were ready the first day of school as soon as everybody showed up. [Applause] So, we had students scheduled. We were able to take attendance. We were able to take grades. We were able to contact every parent because we had all of their information and students had their technology on the first day of school. So that was an impressive feat. Um Josh and Aaron at the beginning of the summer we were
024we were doing North Laurel. Oh, by the way, we also rewired half of North Laurel as well um to get them up to speed ready for first grade. And while we were doing that, we need to put sound systems in. And I was trying to figure out how in the world I was going to pay somebody to mount these sound systems because you heard all the work that the maintenance guys did. So they didn't have time to do that. And Josh and Aaron came to me and they said, "You know what? If you get us the tools, we can do it." I said, "Have you ever done it before?" And they said, "No, but that's never stopped us." And every first grade classroom has a sound system installed. They've got Smartboard working. they've got a
025document camera because these guys stepped up and said, "I know this isn't my regular job, but I want to do it because that's what our kids need." So, [Applause] and one last shout out, um, Officer Handy did not lend me any of his people, which was good. They were plenty busy doing what they were doing, but Josh and Aaron loved that idea so much that they came up with their own child labor force. And um they brought in, in fact, one of them is here tonight, Kai Lewis. Thank you for coming in. >> Miss Ka Lewis is at our middle school and she scrubbed Chromebooks. She cleaned Chromebooks. She organized them. uh mainly because dad told her to. Um but they they brought in um relatives, children, got volunteers, and uh and that's how they
026were able to do everything that they did. So I'm very grateful to everyone that that helped them with this project. >> Okay. Yeah. All right. So, we want to recognize not only the IT team, but we also want to recognize the secretaries, the counselors, um, and, uh, we've got a nurse here tonight that, um, that everyone that poured into this, so we're going to be reading a bunch of names right now. We're going to start with Ashley Pew. The one and only Will Hoffman, Elbert Collins, Sean Bundik. [Applause] This one deserves a special shout out. Susan Why. I could not have done everything that I needed to do without the help of Susan Whe. Thank you. Amanda Kishi, Jordan Whley, Stacy Duncan, Justin Young, [Applause] Heather O'Neal, Tracy Dutton, Amber Justice, Logan DS, Karen Ober,
027Aaron Lewis, Donna Ward, [Applause] Britney Aosta, Fran Listister, Kina Goff, Carrie Miller, Jamie Reynolds, Steuart Richardson, Ker by Joseph, Mary Ellie, and that is it. Did we call Josh Bell? Oh, I just wanted to see if he was paying attention. Sh everybody. Okay, I just want to say one quick thing. I know we called Mike Brown 9 million times. We had questions. We, as he said, we had tears. It didn't matter what time of day I would call Mike Brown. He had a positive um attitude that just calmed me down immediately. And we cannot thank him enough. So, thank you, Mike. [Applause] She calmed me down. You Okay, next we have um Amy Handy with out with the owl program. >> Amy, [Applause] before I get started, I would like to call my AL crew
028up for support. Um, we have Mayor Carlos Ala here with us today. If you could come and stand. Councilman George Lado, [Applause] Sherah Barber, if you could come up. Crystal Whitney, Don Zen Folks, Maggie and Ron Proctor, and your vice president, Sabrina Isler. Good evening, Madame President, Vice President, Dr. La Moore, members of the Laurel School Board, and I'm going to give a shout out to Susan Lley, who's going to be all in my speech tonight. I stand before you tonight not as an educator in the Laurel school district for 34 years, but as a community member on behalf of Operation Russ Laurel. In 2023, our town and our schools endured one of the darkest periods in our history with the tragic loss of Corey Munford, then Taylor German, and then Kylie Robertson shook us
029all and marked the beginning of a cycle of gun violence that forever changed the fabric of our community. Out of that pain, out of that urgency, Operation Russ Laurel al was formed. We are a collective of parents, educators, faith leaders, and community members committed to protecting our children, supporting our families, and advancing West Laurel as a place of safety, as a place of strength and hope. exists because we believe that no child should have to grow up in fear and every student deserves the chance to thrive. Tonight, I want to pause and sincerely thank you, the school board district leadership, Susan Ley, for your continued partnership and support. This summer, Al supported Corporal Lef Shawn Handy's vision by partnering with him and we co-hosted the job shadowing program for our young men. The support from
030this school district, especially the classroom space, the transportation, it was critical. And most of you in here, um, Stacy, Donna, along with Susan, we have our maintenance crew, you were critical in this program. And because of that partnership and with the help of a grant that we secured, we were able to provide these young men with much needed with a much needed stipen while giving them real world career exposure. It was a tremendous success and we are deeply grateful for all of you and your partnership [Applause] and as a result we are asking for your continued partnership. We would like to implement the project rise resilience integrity strength and empowerment men of purpose an afterchool program for some of these same high school males. and we're going to add more. We propose meeting two days
031per week while students will receive dinner and a safe space after school, homework assistance and tutoring, mentorship and traumainformed training, UDMI online certification courses, workforce development training, recreation opportunities, more group sessions with GVI and the lit participants. This program builds directly off the success of the summer work um implemented by Corpory and it responds to a critical need of our to our community. Third, we ask your support for Memorial Peace Garden, a mural and a friendship bench in partnership with Principal Giles. Al would like to help students create a memorial garden on campus to honor those students who have lost their lives to gun violence. This space would serve as both a memorial and a place of healing, reflection, and hope for our students. We ask you to consider this important memorial. And finally, before
032I close this evening, we would like an opportunity to meet with you, the board, to discuss some of the policies as it relates to our stu students. We are particularly concerned with some of the low gradepoint averages as it relates to our students, some the dress code, and some discipline policies, just to name a few. This district has made great strides over the year years, and we want to make sure Yes. Yes. [Applause] and we want to make sure that we continue this upward trend. Thank you again so much for partnering with us and we look forward to continuing this important work together. Thank you. [Applause] Mrs. H, can we get a picture of the aisle group? >> Can the board join us? Okay. communication and announcements. Think we just had all that. >> Um,
033public public participation. I have no one that signed up this evening. Superintendent remarks. >> Uh, none for this evening. >> Any board participation? >> Yes. I I'd like to say something. Uh I hope that our hearts and prayers can go out for the assassination of Charlie Curtis, his wife. It I mean when we should not be assassinating people or speaking up, speaking about about their faith and and just be being able to say what they need to say. I mean, this happened and it's and it's a terrible thing. I still hope we had I want us to have freedom of speech. I mean if somebody got to say something discussion is there not not bullets. >> Thank you. >> Say anything. >> I wish I had the um welcome back theme song playing in the
034background. Anybody know what I'm talking about? >> Welcome back Carter. You know that theme music. Okay. So welcome back everybody officially. I know we've been back since August, but officially welcome back. And um as has been stated earlier, we're looking for great things to continue to happen right here in our district. Um eyes are on us, guys. We're making some great marks and strides and even though sometimes it might not seem like it because we hear all the negative and other all the darts get shot at us. But be of good cheer everybody cuz uh we are let's see what's the word um going to continue to go up higher and higher as a district. So, let your hearts be encouraged and um y'all know what I always say, love your hug on your family,
