001Good evening. It is 6:00 and I'm going to go ahead and call this meeting to order. All the board members are present. It is the practice of our board of education to begin our meetings with prayer. Okay. So, that's a little hot. Okay. We'll have to begin our meetings with prayer and the pledge of allegiance. We invite you to bow your heads in prayer and stand and join us in the pledge if you so choose. Let us bow our heads. Lord, we respectfully ask for your wis your guidance and wisdom as we proceed with the business before us. Keep us mindful of our purpose of providing quality education for the students attending. >> The educational program plans that align with our district's goals of preventing juvenile delinquency, reducing truency, and fostering positive relationships between students

002and law enforcement was the goal. Now, school resource officers can hold a powerful position in shaping youth perception of civic responsibility and law enforcement. To strengthen this partnership and promote proactive prevention, I propose that each SRO develop and present annual educational activity plans for board and administrative approval. These plans should include one age appropriate classroom presentations or workshops on topics such as conflict resolution, personal safety, digital citizenship, in other words, cyber bullying and decision making, community building events, including mentorship programs, positive behavior reinforcement, and service learning projects to help students view officers as trusted mentors rather than enforcers. Because it has come to my attention that principles have not been communicated with by these officers or any kind of other administrative faculty about what these officers are actually to be doing in our school other

003than intimidating the student population. collaborative initiatives with school counselors, teachers, and community organizations that support attendance improvement, mental health awareness, and constructive peer interaction. Such programming should follow evidencebased frameworks supported by the US Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention and adhere to trauma informed culturally responsive practices because in the curriculum it does outline that it is an initiative in our health classes to promote desensitizing children to police presence. So that would indicate that there has been a traumatization by police to our children. So I I believe SRO should be trauma informed and trained properly in child development. Attire and equipment policy in preserving the integrity of the learning environment. I strongly urge the board of ed the board to establish an appropriate attire and safety policy for officers working in direct

004contact with students. Specifically, SRO should wear professional school appropriate uniforms such as polo or dress shirts with law enforcement insignia, khakis, and tactical pants rather than full tactical gear. At no time should a firearm be carried or on their person within classrooms, hallways, cafeterias, playgrounds, or any space where children are present. Secure firearm storage should be available in a locked and monitored location on school grounds, accessible only under defined emergency procedures in collaboration with local law enforcement leadership. So, in conclusion, I think before you all $250,000 of taxpayer money to put police in the schools where you have outreach people to do home visits to help with truency concerns. I think you should be presented the facts and how you're spending our money and how you plan to keep our children safe. Thank you. That

005does move us into the 100 series and we are going to hear from some of our fantastic friends here at West. >> Thank you. Uh I wanted to start with an apology for oversight and leaving your names off of that list. So we do have because being hosted at West Taylor. We wanted to recognize that and certainly recognize the building principal. Mrs. Cynthia Kn with her presentation and or follow her colleagues presentations will be her decision. So, thank you for having us. >> All right. Well, welcome. We always enjoy having you over here at West Taylor. Um it's a pleasure to bring you all here and we'll be able to highlight what we do here at West Taylor. I know everybody's busy and not everyone gets a chance to see. So, we like to take

006this opportunity and let you know all the great things going on here. Um if you notice, I laid in everyone's seat. Um I went ahead and thought it would be much easier and that you could take this with you and you could review this. Um there's a lot of things that we are doing. Um academics at the top. We've had a great start to our benchmarking. Our kids are showing I think my teachers here can pro possibly agree with me that our students have um carried the summer well. They've come back. They've done really well on the beginning benchmark. We've seen a lot of positives. Um we One of our other highlights that we celebrate and that our third and fourth grade teachers um we received our uh West Virginia GSA scores and um it

007was sent to me in a text message by a colleague and said, "Wow, have you checked this out?" And out of the 355 elementary schools in um the state of West Virginia, we were at 39 and we came up 31 positions from the previous year. So that was Yeah, we were very proud of that. And it's all that's it's these girls. Um we they work very hard. Um very academic, you know, focused. Um we're very blessed that we have um Miss Helen Roberts, who is always there willing to supply what we need. Um, you know, we've had a lot of new curriculum, a lot of new things handed to us. And you all probably know what that's like when you get that. That's a little you get a little apprehensive, but they've done a fantastic

008job. Um, they I can't say enough about them. So, um, without any further ado, I'm not going to go through all the whole packet with you. That is for you to look at. If you have any questions, you are more than welcome to ask me. If you um want to look at these and then have questions later, you are more than welcome to contact me or stop by and I would be more than willing to discuss any of these with you. On the last page is something that we started new this year, our community and schools, um our star news, uh Miss Kurt Patrick, everybody. Oh, we've got a lot of people involved. Um we started West Taylor News and we send this out with every We send it out electronically and then we do

009offer to any parents who do not want it electronically, would like to have a hard copy, we do send those home. So, you know, it's a good way to make sure that we're reaching all of our parents. Um, and it's just information for them. So, we've um I've had a lot of positive comments and um a lot of parents are excited to get this news. some of it, you know, applies, some of it doesn't, but it does give them a little bit more of an insight on, hey, what's going on inside of West Taylor. So, um, and they like the important dates. Uh, it's a nice that, um, you know, we like to put our PTO things on there. You know, we have a very active PTO here at West Taylor. You see our change

010wars going on behind. It's a little down now, but we were talking about it a while ago. And the end of the week, that's when they turn it on. They all want to win. So, they will have that. So, if you have any questions, I'd be more than happy to answer them. And if not, I'm going to turn it over to our LSIC chair, Kathy Noble. Welcome back to West Taylor. Uh, as you know, I'm Kathy Noble. I'm a first grade teacher here. I'm also chairman of the local school improvement council. We are very fortunate this year to have all of our community and business positions filled. Um, council's met twice so far. One of our primary focuses is attendance. Our current attendance rate at that meeting was 96.19%. We had five students that were

011considered chronically absent, but three of those were due to family vacations. They were having a good time while we were all here. Uh when necessary, attendance letters have been sent. The county is following the same attendance policy as last year. Mrs. Knots meets monthly with Mrs. to review attendance data and Mrs. Jen, Miss Jenkins our community school has given you more detailed information in your packet about attendance. Uh we'd like to thank the board for several important improvements made at our school since last year. Uh as you can see when you come up, it's no longer dark. We have lots of lights now. In fact, there was some out last week and the maintenance crew came and lit us back up. Um the wind titting on all the doors and windows is now completed. We

012have a new front parking lot with additional spaces. These were very much needed. Um I know most of you came in the front and the back. They already had the pylons put in um for the new canopy edition. We're just apparently waiting on the materials. We're hoping that project's completed by the end of the month. We're also extremely grateful for all the new cameras that are installed on the campus. Uh Taylor has already practiced multiple safety codes this year. Teachers have received updated safety posters and flip charts as needed and we're going to review our procedures again on our next professional development day along with our details of our new interp system. Uh parents and teachers are very thrilled about the addition of our school resource officers this year. Um Dr. Stalling, Sheriff Durant, and

013Mrs. SL have worked together to work on the officer's role in the school. Currently, officers are present daily. They're on a rotating basis and the students truly enjoy seeing them at lunch and recess and in the hallways and the fourth grade is even earning to get to play kickball with them. So, they really like that. Um, a few concerns were parent pickup. We needed to make that run just a little more smoothly. It's pretty smooth, but we noticed that the stars are on the ground. Some of the parents can't see those where the kids stand. So we've now put colored cones. So when we say move to the red star, they can see a cone, too. So that has helped um to move things more efficiently. One of our other concerns is our playground equip

014equipment. Um next year the school will be 20 years old. The playground equipment is a little older than that. Um so that's something most of it came from Honeytown and Heba. So we're going to start exploring options for full replacement of the playground. Mrs. form a committee through faculty senate to investigate cost of potential updates and it seems to be very expensive with the new playground but for right now um Mrs. sent close and invoices to maintenance for replacement of our sliding board and four of our eight swings are broken and a purchase request has been submitted to maintenance for that. Um in closing uh once again we sincerely thank you for visiting our school and for your continued support. The improvements made over the past year have made a real difference for students staff

015and our next is Bethany faculty president. Good evening everyone. Um like Mrs. Noble just said my name is Bethany McQueen. I'm one of the inter that we have here at West Taylor and also the faculty senate president. Um it's truly a privilege to welcome the board of education to our school today. We are excited to have you with us and we hope that you get a true sense of the energy, innovation, and dedication that defines our school community. In the classroom, our educators are consistently going above and beyond to provide an engaging and dynamic learning environment. Our fourth grade team is part of a council that is diving deeper into understanding the science of reading and numeracy. They have been to meetings and training sessions on Taylor's behalf to information to our teachers. Miss Brown,

016one of our special education teachers, will also be attending a conference later this week to further understand the requirements of the third grade success act regarding dyslexia and how we as teachers can better support our students. She will also be taking an ECAT training to help those with questions that have any questions. During our summer academy session, I received some training on how to navigate and implement the intervention portion of our math series, which is wonderful. We are continuing our training with the intervention kits later this month. With the training and the kit, we have been able to use the strategies and our lessons designed to help our students succeed in math. That is also in the same way that our classroom teachers are too. Um, uh, most importantly though, we create an inclusive supportive

017environment for our students. Our faculty has made it a priority to implement what we have learned from participating in capturing kids hearts, a program that focuses on creating meaning meaningful relationships with our students. From greeting students at the door to using signals in the classroom to quietly check in. Teachers are continuously working together to support each student's unique needs. We are thrilled to be able to share these moments with you today. We hope that you leave here not only with a sense of pride for all that is happening with our school but with deeper understanding on how your leadership is enabling these amazing achievements. So thank you again. Dr. Do you have additional information for us? >> I do, Miss Garvin. >> Great. >> As you can see, I'm passing out a copy of the

018superintendent's updates for this evening. Quick revi overview for a number of things. Starting with Anna Jarvis Elementary School's new construction happening. If you drive by, you'll notice that the eastmost section and that's the administrative offices, gymnasium, kitchen, and common area are currently taking shape. Also, also the uh preparation for second floor in the western most portion, which will be the double the two floor educational classroom section is is underway. Uh Flemington Elementary School is still working on continuing the final touches of the exterior sealant exterior sealant which is called duct pointing to be followed by installation of the new roof access through the existing western most second floor hallway window. In addition finally and I'm sure Miss Dr. Decker and Mr. and many other people at Flemington Elementary School are excited to tell you that

019the long awaited in excess of a year roof HVAC unit that has been on back order or whatever they were telling us has finally arrived to Clarksburg only through and I might say this as carefully as I can but I want to make sure I acknowledge the work from those people I just mentioned as well as the uh our architectural firm and Sometimes it's not what you know, it's who you know. But we abandoned the long awaiting over the year waiting for that one company only to find another company who would give us the same unit quickly. And so Flemington Elementary School will soon have that installed and won't be waiting like they did for they were very patient with us through the last school year. West Taylor where we just heard some wonderful reports.

020I want to do one more quick shout out. Uh just just such a wonderful thing about the student achievement data that we've learned. It's no small feat that your school bounces I won't say climbs they worked really hard but they bounced up in the state to such a degree and we need to be proud of that. It takes a lot of effort from everybody parent groups here the administrative team counselor all the teachers every part of your your custodian. There's not a person of the faculty and staff here that doesn't get some credit for that because they have a family in West at West Taylor Elementary School that's demonstrating some real success. I'm proud of that. Taylor County Middle School. Uh oh, one more thing about West Taylor. In case you came in the back,

021you'll notice there are those concrete pods that are on either side. They're flanking the sidewalk. Those are the foundational pieces of the future near future canopy that's forthcoming. Uh we were talking about the the contractors just today and they anticipate that happening maybe before you know it. So that'll be a great addition. The Taylor County Middle School, as you know, uh took some time to craft an idea to create some recreational equipment locations across their external campus so that rather than just going outside to do the walk around the circle drive or the track, students will have a variety of different activities to take part in on any given day rather permitting. Uh likewise, Grafton High School is propo the proposal being that is being made regarding the the school building authorities hopeful contribution and

022support of us while we are looking at their HVAC system has been scheduled. My proposal has been scheduled for November 3rd. I will be driving Charleston like we did before uh when we talked about the bond election to make a proposal about collaborating with them. More on that once I've done that. New transportation department building as you well know we just were in the process of doing the bidding process. We did have some uh people interested as many as eight came to our initial bid information meeting. Subsequently, we received uh bids from five companies and we were able to award as is recognized in your uh addendum. It was that close to the time for this meeting that we were able to award the uh the successful bidder so that we can move forward on

023that project. Uh lastly, we have um finally, as has been mentioned and a couple times this evening, resource officer, school resource officers in all five of our locations, and those are working with their individual school principles. U I'm getting I guess tonight mixed reviews, but up until this evening, I was getting very positive reviews about the collaboration taking place with principles, the uh interaction with our students who are responding what we is quite positive. They they're enjoying the interaction with that such as soccer games. I think it might just hear that tonight. Kickball, excuse me. My son, I'm a soccer guy. All right. So, in addition, I have attached a copy of the Flemington Elementary School's monthly report similar to what you received in the packet from Miss Kn. And lastly, there's an attachment that

024talks about parameters of employee freedom of speech that was issued to us from the state department and I provided a copy of that for your your uh reading pleasure information. In addition, I have one other thing that I'd like to pass out to each of you. You had requested information about the weapon detection equipment that you purchased when I first started working with you and it has been uh into place at both our middle school and our high school per your request and there's an update from so far this year and the different locations. I know that we had discussed and planned intentionally that would be done in some random fashion so that none of our students should there be one who was inclined to uh challenge that concern from safety that we would do

025it in a random fashion. So no specific schedule was in place. Uh that way we were we believe enhancing the opportunity to first identify someone that was ill intending to enter a school as well as um just making sure that not anyone is totally able to schedule that. God forbid that would be the case. But that's just another one of the many reasons we're trying to enhance all the security reasons in the school system. I hope that information is helpful. Thank you. >> It may have been mine as well. I had a hard time. >> I thought I turned it on and it never um I want to say thanks to the staff. I know this was a long time coming to implement the um the weapons detection in the schools. There's a lot of

026trial and error of trying to get it up and running and not being a burdensome process. And I know you all work very very hard on that. So getting the report on this also is nice. So I just want to put a thank you out across the system on all the hard work that you guys have done implementing that system and also knowing that what you've done to implement that system is very much appreciated by everybody that's has in the school and that staff as well. So any little bit we can do to try to ensure safety is at the app. Thank you. So I know um at your la our last meeting I think it was asked for updates regarding Flemington the concession stand and I think that there was some um of our

027materials or something that was kind of hindering that furthering that process. So I was just wondering if you could provide us some of that. Again, we are still in the process of that. We have crane, we have lifts and things still in the way. So they are waiting just to hear from me. So he has ensured me that once we clear that area that they're ready to move on that project. So he is just Mr. Shaw is just waiting for our contractor to move that out. Hopefully we get that. Our HBAC is supposed to be installed next week. So we're hopeful that that will move that process along to get roofing done and all of that point done where we won't need that lift anymore. So hopefully that can be soon rather than later. Okay.

028>> So they are again just waiting on our contractor to get out of the way for them now. >> Okay. Thank you. >> All right. Are there any other board member questions? Board member updates, committee meeting reports. Hearing none, we will move to the 2000 series. Superintendent respectfully requests approval of the item of the minutes from the regular meeting of September 23rd, 2025. >> Mrs. Ga moves. >> Mr. Taylor second. Questions? All those in favor? Any opposed? Motion passes. I question that because I only heard three voices. Thank you. Uh we have policies and codes on the first reading. No movement on those tonight unless somebody's got a question. Hearing none, we move to the agreements and contracts. Superintendent respectfully requests approval of items 2079 through 2081 in the 2000 series. >> Mr. Taylor moves

029>> second. >> M seconds. Questions, comments, concerns hearing none. All those in favor? >> I motion passes. Moving into the consent calendar.

Superintendent respectfully request approval of item 2082 in the 2000 series construction contract. >> We have a motion. >> Mrs. Galla moves. >> Mr. Taylor second. Questions, comments, concerns? I do. But I need to see I pass down my paper. So this is phase one. >> Yes, ma'am. >> What in the world? You know, I've been kind of a little bit >> We do not have Even though we needed remember when I when we went to look at the building I was a little worried about

030a lot of additional cost >> we don't have that proposal from the architect yet this is not so I apologize for that it's not available um the phase one as you'll recall was the initial piece regarding making that the restrooms are ADA compliant and uh the additional pieces that are in in the planning stage uh haven't been finalized with all the the garage, excuse me, the garage doors that are being >> for accessing the the rear of the building for the buses and maintenance of them. But as far as a an actual dollar figure for any proposal, that has not been provided to us as yet. But the phase one I remember and what you just listed down through that's pretty much all the heavier >> that's heavy hitters right >> well the next state

031phase will include such things as removing um relocating our fueling potential for the traveling and then uh making that operational so that we can eventually abandon their current and and exume those that are underground. I could not hear that. >> I agree. >> All right. Thanks for reminding the next phase. we have options when we get to that phase. So if it gets to be too big of a cost then we can we can seek other we can scale back and seek other other options >> clarify phase two is only it's tanks so it will be implementation of tanks fuel stations there's nothing else happening to the building so phase two is is all about fuel tanks and then decisions of size and all those things Mr. just mentioned. >> Did you recall that was

032one of our main motivations for seeking other location for the transportation department? >> Hope that's helpful. >> Yeah, thank you. >> Any additional questions this point? We have an open motion on the floor. All those in favor? >> Any opposed? Motion passes 5. Now moving into the 3000 series purchase orders facility use out of county travel. Superintendent respectfully requests approval of items 3037 through 30400 series. Mrs. Galla moves second. This is not seconds. Questions comments concerns. instead of I know it's back here in our forms where they fill out but on the agenda it doesn't say what it's for. So you would like it to say um for 4 camp or for family reunion or >> Yeah. Doesn't it normally I mean that it's always >> I'd have to go back and look. I don't

033>> Could you repeat that louder, please? I'm having difficulty hearing over this other >> Well, I think it's just nice. I'm pretty sure it's been in there what the users. So to be clear, you want the form to or the agenda to include not only who, where, when, >> and what, why, >> well, one of them does. One of them does, but so 3038 does not include reason. You're right. I had to go look it up. >> Thank you. That's a good point. Thank you, Doug. >> Sorry. >> If if you'd like some clarification, I think um the the tab three should have clarification on it. I believe >> Sure. >> Why on earth does the health department want the entire high school? >> I actually >> I have an idea. >> It's for a

034stakeholders community. For anyone that wants to know what it's for, >> they have in mind uh a very good activity that's going to be community supportive almost like the back to school bash offers all those individual uh tables etc. It's going to be more offormational fair as well as activities we have an open motion on the floor. All those in favor passes taking us to the 4000 series financial statement of accounts payable and financial updates. Mr. >> Good evening. Absolutely. Um inside your packet you uh we received two grants since the last meeting. So I had two budget supplements for your approval tonight. One was for our CTA CTE program in the amount of $2,000 and the other was for title one in the amount of $1,000 and I've already received a few others that

035will be approved at the next meeting. Um inside your packet for the vouchers payable. The first part of that is checks that have already been written uh since the last meeting uh from various items uh related to payroll and uh other items that we have to keep bill pay bills to keep the um the the uh county moving forward. Your next uh group of papers are upon your approval are checks to be written. Uh which you know those will all be printed tomorrow and sent out to the appropriate vendor vendors to make payments on invoices that we have received in the county. The last item you requested um at the meeting the previous meeting uh was an update um on our finances. Uh so inside your packet you have a West Virginia State Treasurer's Office

036statement of accounts. Um I commonly refer to that as our our savings account. Um at the end of August uh it was holding 9 million416 9,41,69342. Um when I I bring this to you at next month um we had a we had to switch some money out of the bank account into this account. It's a little bit higher this month than it was last month. Um, we did acrew $38,61628 in acred interest for the month of August. Um, the next statement of accounts is the money from the uh bond proceeds. Um that money is um currently sitting or at the end of August was sitting at 14 million 148,7194. Uh that's where the payments for the construction of Anna Jervis come out of. So um at least once a month we receive requests for payments

037from um our architect, our general contractor and others related to that uh project. uh that uh that account approved $57,52057 in interest in that month. The last bit of information I provided was the um was the bank statement for the month of August. Um if you look in there, you'll see that the u the prior balance was 1,42916 and at the end of the month we had 3 million 786 35435. That caused me transfer money there at the end of the month because a certain amount in the bank that happen into that other accountelcome Superintendent respectfully requests approval of items in 400 series. Mr. Taylor moves I will second. Any additional questions hearing? None. All those in favor. >> Motion passes. Miss Miss Garvin, >> sir, >> if you will, uh, I have some good

038news that wasn't part isn't part of the financial 4000 series, but it's applicable to payment and finances. So, I thought if you would be so kind, those papers I'm passing down have your individual names on. If you just take the top copy, it should be your personal information regarding what we were find what we found as a as a result of your request to investigate the uh travel reimbursement to and from board meetings. As you recall, at some point that was stopped. We're still not exactly sure why that was stopped. I just remember it was stopped because we were given some information that said something to the effect that that was not appropriate. I wanted to more recently find that it is now acceptable at the state level. And so our new secretary, Miss Mrs.

039Westfall, took the time to investigate that uh with the assistance. And so your individual copies from October through December retroactive travel to those meetings are reflected in those packets. We would ask that you take the time before you leave us this evening and sign them so that we can process them further. I hope that's good news to each of you. Thank you. We are going to continue the 500 series matters. Got some transfers, some resations, some extracurricular service, extracurricular duty and substitutes and res. Superintendent respectfully request approval of items 5259 through 5273 in the 5000 series questions comments concerns hearing none. All those in favor I motion passes us to the 8000 series board member comments and discussions. Anybody have anything they want to put on the next guidelines asking about the hours that they

040were going to be here and we you had mentioned that I didn't see that in the updates tonight. Um if you could give us a little bit more of a detailed response on that about what time they are expected to be here. I know that you you raised that question Mr. I spoke to both the supervisors of them and they revisited them that with them and it's been my my understanding that the building principles has seen a regular compiance with those expectations since that time. I did that immediately after you inquired about that. >> I'm doing it right now. Just >> what are you saying? So I'm saying that the uh when we when I learned from you that there was some concern about the arrival times instead of sticking with what was committed to

041at the I brought that to the attention of their immediate supervisors and he immediately took care of that and I double check with her building Mrs. Knox and she's a confirmed that it should be here. >> They should be here at 7:15. >> Okay. That's too late. We shouldn't have them the same as >> That's the agreement you approve to have some. >> We need to revisit it. >> Well, we can just the agreement you sign. >> Do you want to meet them in the parking lot? That's what I That's why I sent you the email last week and you had said that you would respond to it and you failed to do. >> That is accurate. And I'm doing that right now. because I'm asking you to if you are if you if the

042board is interested in having us revisit the we can certainly something different but I just want to remind you currently that is a 30-day issue that you have you sign on your >> feel that it's good for us for the parents to meet I urge you to come into a parking lot at the same time. >> Which is why as an email. >> It's you know how it goes. >> This the response that we got last week whenever I edited that was thank you for this concern. I will share this information and mention it as a followup to that meeting's discussion and we didn't talk about it. So I had to bring it up in the 8000 didn't talk about it. >> It's disappointing that you're interpreting that way Mr. D. With all due respect,

043this is the discussion time. I was in contact with the building principal. I did my due diligence with the immediate supervisors. They did make the changes based on >> Excuse me. Excuse me. >> Excuse me. I'm not just talking about West Elementary. >> This we have to do with the email to send it out and to get a response each week. >> This 8,000 is for things that we talked about last week. We need some more information and we'd like to revisit this. >> I think that would be the way to do it. >> As per request, we will continue discuss Would it be okay to request the specifics that are one? What What specifics are you interested? >> Well, that's kind of what I was going to say. I would like to have I

044would like to have the principles at the schools bring any information that they on the arrival times on what we're going to be discussing that night. >> I just want to clarify, did everyone get my email? The three emails that I sent out I did not interm >> I can only ask. I'm only one of five. I think everybody every board member has the prerogative and right to ask for things to be on the agenda. So I think Mr. Dowy is asking for it to be on the agenda. But I also feel that >> I am not talking about West Elementary. I'm talking about a security issue. >> Right. But I think I think for us to have a really good conversation and for us to come out with >> we have to have transparency.
