Um it is as presented at um in the during the um July board meeting of of what we'll receive I believe what we'll spend and what our overall uh end will be and so um there's really no more changes than that. We did receive a little bit more in the grants uh title two especially and then I gave more accurate on pretty much everything else that I thought would come in. So that would be the budget will be approved later on in the meeting. Okay. >> Any public comments? Can I get a motion of the adjournment of the adjournment of the FY26 budget hearing?

Um, Monday for spirit week is pit stop day, anything but a water bottle. Tuesday will be king/mcen day, dress like royalty. Wednesday will be wear your class colors. Thursday is checkered black day, so just neon or checkered attire. Um, Friday we'll have band Friday, so
005purple and gold day. Uh, band marching band seasons had just started. Um, they placed third in their first competition in Washington. They sounded good over the past weekend. Um, we also have Grit. Um, just good things about Grit. I've been absent recently due the health problem. So, it's been useful to me for like just getting to go to different teachers classrooms and get additional help and use it as a time for study hall. >> That's it. >> What is anything but a water bottle day? >> Kind of curious what that is. >> You just kind of bring >> drink out of anything. We see wheelbarrow. >> Oh, >> yeah. Okay then. I know a guy. >> I know a guy. >> Okay. Additional good news. >> Surely somebody's got some good news. Jay, >> uh

It's always good. and also a thank you that they have their new marching uniforms. If you haven't seen them, the uniforms look fantastic. Really, really nice. Um really pop out uh on the field. So, >> do we have any heat related problems? >> No. See, there's good news right there. >> Yeah. >> And they were on um WMD had a nice news about them on >> social media. >> Really neat. >> Okay. At this time, we'll recognize any audience requests to address the board of education. We will now go to the consent agenda. Takes us down through 13C. >> Yep. Any discussion on the consent agenda? Can I get a motion to approve?
007>> Second. >> Roll call, please. >> Brett Perry, >> yes. >> Jordan Stanley, >> yes. >> Brian Spiva, >> yes. >> And Gersznich, >> yes. >> Mike Kruac, >> yes. >> Caitlyn Mason, >> yes. >> Okay. Cons. Consider the approval of resolution of Canton Union School District 66 adopting the 2025 Fulton County multi-jurisdictional multi-hazard mitigation plan. It was a board enclosure. Is there any discussion? >> So, this was a year-long process with various Fton County entities. Um, what this allows participating jurisdictions, it it makes us eligible to apply and receive federal hazard mitigation funds based on the plan that we put forth. So, basically, it's a wish list of things that would help us in a crisis. Um, probably the biggest thing that's written into our plan is for generators for each school so that
008it would run the whole building. So, will it hap ever happen? We don't know, but at least we have a chance now. without having this uh this being part of this group and this planning process we wouldn't have that opportunity potential opportunity. Um we've been through the whole process with the group and the final step is passing this resolution with the school board and once it's passed I can submit that to the group and we've completed that process. >> Any discussion? Did I get a motion to approve? >> Second. Roll call, please. >> Jordan Stanley, >> yes. >> Brian Spiva, >> yes. >> Ann Gerson, >> yes. >> Matt, >> Mike Krue, >> yes. >> Caitlyn Mason, >> yes. >> Brent Perry, >> yes. >> Consider approval of resolution authorizing the sale of Camp Union
009School District 66 personal property at online auction after September 15, 2025. Another board of >> enclosure. So, it's that time of year for our auction. So, um um we still working with Gorsuch. We got a little bit of change there going on. So, Chad Markley is helping us out and we're going to convert to an online auction. That's kind of how the auctions are going. Um so, it' be more of a length of a week for everyone to bid on it and there will be a viewing night. People can see the items and then we'll have established time frame or people can bid online for all the items. And this resolution allows us to have this auction coming up. We're still finalizing the dates, trying to work everything out, and uh we're excited to try
010the online version this year. >> Any ice cream machines? >> We have a 2002 GMC 4 or 2500 4x4 with a plow. I got pictures in there on that PDF or PowerPoint. And then we do have a nice massage chair from East View. So, there we go. Very nice massage. And quite a few other items, school related items. Got some old scoreboards. There's four of them. and a lot of projectors and shot clock and things like that. And I got the pictures there in your board attachments if you want to take a look at those. >> Okay. Can I get a motion to approve the auction? >> So move. >> Second. >> Third. >> Roll call, please. >> Brian Spa, >> present. >> Ann Gersnich, >> yes. >> Mike Kru, >> yes. >> Caitlyn Mason,
011>> yes. >> Brent Perry, >> yes. >> Jordan Stanley, >> yes. Consider approval of banking resolution with Mid America National Bank designating Paul Erin Holtz, Tad Durenzi, and Jeffrey Utsinger as authorized signers for the Canton Union School District 66 Education Fund. >> Jeffrey seems legit. So currently um it's pretty much the the next several resolutions there um only has Paula's name on it and when we are looking through it we might as well have more than one name just in case something happens um everything to get paid payroll and signatures and so forth. So um speaking to attorney it's best idea to have Tad and I on that just in case. And so that's what these um next action items are. >> Motion to approve. >> So move second. >> Who said that first? >>
012Doc. Okay. I heard it coming that way. >> Roco. >> Ann Gersnich. >> Yes. >> Mike Krillac. >> Yes. >> Caitlyn Mason. >> Yes. >> Brent Perry. >> Yep. >> Jordan Stanley. >> Yes. >> Ryan Spiva. >> Yes.

013moved. >> Second. >> Caitlyn Mason. >> Yes. >> Brent Perry. >> Yes. >> Jordan Stanley. >> Yes. Brian Spiva, >> yes. >> And Gers, >> yes. >> Mike Krule, >> yes. >> Consider approval of banking resolution with Mid American National Bank designating Paul Aron Holtz, Tad Durenzi, Jeffrey Edinger as authorized signers for the Canton Union School District 66 direct deposit received account. >> So moved. >> Second. >> Brett Perry, >> yes. >> Jordan Stanley, >> yes. Brian Spiva, >> yes. >> And Gerszich, >> yes. >> Matt Keys, >> oh, sorry. Mike Krule, >> yes. >> And Caitlyn Mason, >> yes. >> Okay, that brings us to J. Consider approval of FY25 amended budget. Any discussion? >> Can I get a motion? >> So move. >> Second. >> Jordan Stanley. Yes. >> Brian Spiva. >> Yes.
014>> Ann Gersnich. >> Yes. >> Mike Kulk. >> Yes. >> Caitlyn Mason. >> Yes. >> Brent Perry. >> Yes. >> Consider approval of FY26 budget. >> Any discussion? Can I get a motion, please? >> So move. >> Second. >> Brian Spiva? >> Yes. >> And Gersnich? >> Yes. >> Mike Krule? >> Yes. >> Caitlyn Mason? >> Yes. >> Brent Perry? >> Yes. >> Jordan Stanley? Yes. >> Consider approval of electricity rebate program with solar on earth. >> So, their board enclosure. >> Yeah. So, we've been looking into ways to to save more money and we had an opportunity working with a solar on earth company. Um we were not picking up solar. What we're doing is they're building two facilities down south uh near Decatur and Danville. And if we say we'll go ahead and
015allocate, we use about 3.3 um kilowatt 3.3 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year. We allocate our little section to toward their actual production. Um they just went through the city. Uh the city agreed to it. They signed off on it as well as several other districts. We received 20% back on our bill starting in about eight 18 months because the facilities will be built in December. And it's a 10-year contract. So in essence, we'll receive $100,000 a year for the next 10 years by just going and allocating what we would normally use with their solar facilities. Doesn't change our carrier. It's still our same carrier. It doesn't change our rates. It's just an incentive program through the government to build more solar facilities around the state and then they give it back to the
016actual um school districts and or businesses and so forth. So this is a win-win. We had the lawyer go through every single word of the doc or the contract. Everything is great. it works out. Um there is we can get out at any time we want with a six months cancellation policy and after 10 years if we're still happy with it, we keep on extending it five years at a time. So it's $100,000 a year we'll save. >> If we exit early, do we have to pay back any of the reimbursements? >> We do not. That is a stipulation we made sure to look at and uh make sure that was not the case. >> Okay. Any other discussion? Can I get a motion to consider the approval of the electricity rebate program with solar
017on Earth? Can I get a motion? >> Ann Gerson? >> Yes. >> Mike Koulac, >> yes. >> Caitlyn Mason, >> yes. >> Brett Perry, >> uh, yes. >> Jordan Stanley, >> yes. >> Brian Spiva, >> yes. >> Okay. Do we have anything under reports? >> We do not. Hearing none discussion items. CHS 2027 Europe trip with Kim Malone. >> Good evening. Um, two of my fantastic German four students came with me this evening and this is Katsumi Engel and Maline Mansfield. And um, they came on our Germany trip last this past summer. So, I wanted you to first hear from them about what they got from the experience. Don't make me be all by myself. Okay, I'll speak first. Uh, the experience was really great overall. We got to see a bunch of cultural landmarks
018and get new information about a different part of the world, which is super great because I think everybody should go and experience a different culture, no matter what culture it is, to broaden your views. And it also helped broaden my view of things like the Holocaust and World War II era things and see how the German population honors the Jewish lives and other minorities that were lost to World War II and the Holocaust. And um I mean as much as we enjoyed like the classes offered to the high school, there's nothing as like informative as actually being there and being immersed in the culture. >> I agree. >> It was great to see them be able to take the languages the language that they've been learning too and see how it looks in the real
019world, right? Not just in our classroom, but um out in the world. So, it was an honor to be able to take them on the trip and for them to be on the trip and for we had um 15 students and 10 adults who went on the trip this past summer. So, that was a great experience. So, we've had the opportunity to be able to make a plan to go um this in 27 to go um it's called the sound of Europe which is a play if you would like to pass this R which is a lovely play on the sound of music. So there is a tie-in with this. We'll go um from Munich to Salsburg, Austria to Budapest and it will have a tie-in with classical music. We'll be able to see a
020classical concert in a um place where um Beethoven, Mozart, Bach all played as well. Um we'll see how some classical instruments are made. Of course, be immersed with the language. Um it was a it was the first time this past summer that I took students out of the country and it was wonderful to work with this company. Um they kept us safe. They um they had a um tour guide with us the entire time dedicated to our trip. So in the same hotels with us on on the buses um and they just made it really pretty seamless even with you know if there were hiccups along the way they made it work out. and um it allowed us to see really the world beyond here and that was a great experience for the students and
021so this this particular trip we would go somewhere in um June so there's um a range of dates um so somewhere around June 9th of 27 and it' be for nine days and um we'll if it's agreed upon then we will again promote it um at an evening event at the high school that um students who are in anywhere from 8th grade now um through senior would be able to come with their parents and of course parents would also be able to sign up if they were interested in going as well. Um it was a I will say a great experience for the parents who went um maybe more challenging at times for the parents to learn you know how to have somebody else in charge and that's not always easy to hand that over.
022Um, but it was a great experience for all of us to be able to do that this past year. And I think this is just going to be another step in um, using the language skills and looking beyond our own culture. Does anybody have any questions? >> I think it's a wonderful, wonderful opportunity. >> This has been few years to two. Last year we had over 40 students go to Greece and Rome. Um, this year 15 students uh, uh Germany and then this summer um a group going to London and a group going to BISE. >> Awesome. >> Mary, my house is funded. >> Um the students and parents pay for it themselves. We do have an opportunity. I talked with the company today and there is um if if we have you know at
023least 30 people that sign up to come to the presentation there's uh that opens a um scholarship that a student can get um for $1,000 of it. Other than that um it's we can help them try to figure out some fundraisers. They um the company does break it down so that it can be paid for monthly. They also have like Q QR codes that go directly to their account. So say if um instead of Christmas gifts or birthday gifts, people can put money right into their account also so that they can save for it that way. And um it was it was a neat thing for me to be able to see how students were making it a priority to travel. Some of them had jobs to be able to pay for it. some of
024them. Um I know one young lady that um she did a whole lot of babysitting and a lot of you know she actually um front of our family so she came and pulled nails for me one day uh after a basement got flooded and you know so there's it's like willing to do whatever was necessary um to be able to travel and I that's a wonderful life skill also to learn how to save. >> Thumbs up board. >> Yes. Absolutely. >> Absolutely. Great. Go for it. >> Thank you very much. >> Thank you. >> 15B. Schedule a buildings and grounds committee meeting. >> Yeah. So, it is time to do that. Uh Jordan and Matt are usually on that committee. So, I'll work with Matt and Jordan on getting that date set. >> Probably be
025the end of September October, I would say. >> Then we will report out at the October board meeting. Um, this is about a month later than usual and it's because we've been waiting for the Gak building bid opening which is on Wednesday. So, we'll have that information for that meeting. >> Perfect. >> Schedule a board retreat. >> Yeah. So, kind of wanted to get it on your minds. It was about this time last year we started trying to look at dates for a board retreat. It's okay if we don't set one tonight. If we want to wait until everybody's here. Um, but, you know, board wants to have a retreat. It's time to get on the calendar. over the next month or so. >> That's the goal. I'm sorry. >> We usually do it on
026like Saturday mornings, right? >> Yeah. >> And by the end of the year, I would assume or the school school year. >> Um, typically we have it sometime November, December. >> Gota last year was in December, I believe. So, >> what did last year's look like? >> We started at 7 a.m. Um, we had a lady from the ASB here speaking. >> Yeah. No, that was two years ago. We had training. >> Um, last year I created an agenda based off feedback from board president and that's the topics that we covered. >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah. That's when we went on our field trip. >> Yeah. Over to Alice. >> Yep. >> Come hungry. >> Well, everybody be looking at your uh calendars and maybe next month we can get something >> in stone. >>
027Yeah, we'll get on the agenda again next month. >> Okay. Uh D discussion on district insurance committee. >> So we have a district insurance committee. It's led by myself and then we have administrators um union members and also two board members currently Dr. Perry and it was um Ben Bishop of course he's no longer on the board and we have an upcoming meeting usually it's November um it's one just one major meeting on the voting for the insurance rates for the whole entire district and we need two board representations. So, I was seeing if there was a board member like to volunteer uh to be part of that meeting. And we do have anformational meeting that we send out information for six months later, but the big one is the November meeting. And you would
028be interested in that. >> I'll do it. Nobody wants to. >> Okay. >> So, it's Doc and Jordy. >> Ben has big shoes to fill. All right. E, discussion on electricity rebate program, solar on Earth. >> This is not needed anymore. We were worried about getting the contract in time, so we had both just in case. Um, this is not needed anymore. >> Perfect. Good job. >> Okay. Takes us 16 information items. >> So 16 A through F are all freedom of information requests. So run those through through real quick. 16A data research partners was requesting information on employee names, email addresses, title position, and the primary location. 16B Jason Coh was requesting information specific to East View School and Special Education. Specifically, he wanted to know the number of parent requests for special education
029evaluations from 2021 to 25. He wanted to know the number of those that were accepted, the number denied for the same years, number of students with IEPs at East View, 21 to 25, and policies and protocols for IEP evaluation and implementation. So all that information was given to him. 16 C PI standard um asked for the names and honors of all students at Canton High School recognized by the college board as AP scholars which was very easy because we don't have any because we do dual credit now instead of AP. uh 16D Justin Winnick um was asked for uh financial informations for specifically um transactions from January 1, 2022 to the present. Uh purchase date, vendor name, description of the goods or services, quantity and price. 16E poria standard request the name of all 8th
030grade students from 202425 as well as which high school we anticipate them attending which is pretty easy for us if they were here in eighth grade they're going to be at camp high school as long as they don't move 16F again PUI standard requested principal contracts and our collective bargaining agreement so they were given a link to our website where all that information is available so all these four requests have been fulfilled Okay, seems like a pain for everybody. Uh G six day enrollment report. So six day enrollment uh the high school is up. We've had what about 40 additional 40 students this year um including many transfers. So that's great. Um districtwide compared to six day last year we're at 2,111 for this year. We were at 2123 last year. So, we're down 12
031students districtwide. >> Good. Is there any future agenda items? Hearing none. Could I get a motion to move to close session? >> So moved. >> Second. [Music] >> Yep. >> Jordan Stanley. >> Yep. Y >> you're Hey, It's so dark. >> All right, we are live, Mr. Ker. >> Okay, got to get a motion to adjurnn. >> So move. >> Roll call. >> Mike Kruac, >> yes. >> Kayla, >> yes. >> Bren Prey, yes. Jordan Stanley, >> yes. >> Ryan Splet, >> yes. and an Gersnich. >> Yes.
