Um I just want to say congratulations to our RT team again just on their accomplishments of the whole season but then also at nationals just to the team and individuals and just a great job to all that leading that program again for another successful year. Thank you. Okay sir. So my first 100 days in office um I'm learning a lot the areas couple things coming up the track will start being worked on
010in July. It'll be ready for football. Um, there'll be a 10-day period from August 1st through the 11th to just stay off the track. Um, I'm scheduling convening all the kids that are going to be working with me interviews. Got all that set up and then the IFQ the IAQ project started. We started draining down the boiler system today. Tomorrow we start some work up in the penthouse. um been working with a lot of contractors just getting acclimated to where we're going to be at and things like that. Then other than that, it's mostly, you know, when you come in new, all the vendors want to come meet you because they're all worried. One, they're either getting their foot in the door or they're worried about not having their foot in their door. So, I
011will ask them all to basically review all their prices. And so we're working on that um for next year's purchases for supplies. And then I'm also um just working on a custodial standards, key metrics, all that kind of stuff that I like. So that's about it for now. Fantastic. Thank you. And our three principles. Uh I was able to join our sixth graders at our state capital trip. Uh it was a great uh field trip with our students and I had many many uh people reach out to us let us know how well behaved our students were. It was uh it's nice hearing you bring the kids off campus get a little work there thanks going on too. Uh busy time at legislature and uh our kids did a phenomenal job and it was a
012great opportunity for them government work. Just one quick update. Um earlier this spring, I think I'd update you on our uh Americanore literacy tutor numbers for next school year. Um with changes, potential changes happening in the federal government. Uh AMPACT is kind of the parent group that uh that is responsible for literacy tutors and those tutor numbers were reduced across the state. And so we are going from we we were going from four to two next year um literacy tutors. Those those first two hard bills we were notified today that AMPACT in Minnesota was allowed two more tutors for the entire state. Two positions that had to be that had to be um you know dispersed to the state. and we we were notified today that we got one of the two additional tutor positions.
013So, um we will now have three for next year versus two. Um and in talking with the uh the person from AMPACT who is responsible for delegating that those tutors, um he said, you know, we push for Foley. The program is really good here, but the tutors seat a lot of kids. There's high fidelity in the intervention. Um get good results. So that that's a little bit of a win that we're not back to where we currently are, but getting one out of two for the entire state um was good. See, that's a big win. Very proud of yourselves. Adam, can I ask you a question in regards to um I know that they used to have like grandparents and stuff that used to come in and volunteer volunteers. Okay. Yep. high school. You know,
014busy time of day wrapping things up, but I think I've heard now from all the board members for graduation on on that Saturday at 7:30. So, you guys can kind of decide how you want to hand out the diploma covers to the the graduates. They will be crossing the SC stage, not down in front. So, you guys can again up that however you choose and we'll start at 7:30 and hopefully Nice and cool. Thanks, Dr. Perry. I just have a few quick things. Um, last week was teacher appreciation. So, very thankful for teaching staff and all the hard work um day in and day out. I I do believe that teaching is a gift and our teachers really do a great job of connecting with our students and really doing everything that um they can
015to make sure that our our students are successful in and outside of the classroom because I know that it's not just what happens here, it happens um outside of our walls as well. Um our night of excellence, I know Mr. Um, Nicholas is not here, but that is this week on Wednesday at 5:30. So, I would invite you to come. And if you're going to be um at the Night of Excellence, I think you can let Kelly know because I think we have a special at we're going to try on those soft chairs. It was a long evening sitting. Yes. So, I was getting a little um Yeah, I was moving around a little bit. A little antsy. Um so that is on Wednesday and then um we had a retirement gathering um at the
016beginning of this month as well and thank all of our retirees again for their years of service. It was a nice way to acknowledge all the years um of experience that people have had here at public schools. And then lastly um to congratulate Mr. your man on his return is as well and thank him for his years of service to Florida public schools. It's really been an honor to work with you and you will be greatly missed here. Okay, we'll move on now to meeting events and we have this is a partial list. So there may be other things but 5:29 25 the last student day you know we'll start blasting the super 3:00 in the uh teachers last day will be on the 30th and graduation as was mentioned will be on the 31st
017and of course there's still some playoffs and other events happening in between there so there's always something happening at the school. All right, we have an open forum again for anyone that wishes in case. Yes, please.

We'll have committee reports now. I know Jack Smith met today and myself was visiting the Schumacher were there. Either of you would like to comment on it or I can. We went over the readact um which was very successful for our school this year. Chrissy Rom did a great job letting us know how things are going to go maybe just into the future too.
018Um Mr. boss gave us an update on the career day and college day that was very successful and the website update should be done by July 1st. Um, we did hear a little bit about the logo. Is there going to be more information or some suggestions or something where people can vote on it or is it just going to be pushed out? That's a really great question and I just talked to Mr. English about that today. Okay. And it sounds like just working within his AD group that they had made a suggestion about having a committee move forward with the loco and so that's what I needed to talk to him more about but that was his recommendation. Okay, fantastic. Uh wellness committee any meeting there? Um, we did have a wellness walk last week
019after school for staff and athletic boosters. Um, athletic boosters had a meeting May 12th, 2025 to discuss the night of excellence.

Um those raffle tickets are rewarded at the homecoming um every year. It's always at the homecoming game. Um lots of discussion about possible fundraising. talked about the night of excellence in regards to having it on a Wednesday night is not um something that the athletic booster club has thought was a great idea. And so with there being a lot of support um from the athletic booster club, they have said that
