[Music] Make sure you subscribe. What time is it? Three, two, one. Yeah. So, Lily summer camp  program is all about STEMbased projects and   different modulars. So, the kids are faced  with different scientific challenges um and   different topics focusing on the engineering  design program and the scientific method. Three, two, one. It's not like regular school.  So, that's what makes it engaging. The challenges   that the kids have throughout the different  modules also make it engaging as well. But   it's more so I'm coming learning throughout  the summer, but I'm

006having fun throughout   the summer as well. I really like that they  let you use your creativity and they kind   of make you feel special. They let you kind of  do your own thing. They give you instructions,   but they let you mostly follow your own path.  I like that they give us um challenges that I'm   able to handle and I really love designing  things. Mr. C's presentation is good like   always. I saw him at the Victoria Theater and  his was good too. So, he's just doing the same   things and I like his things. I like to see it  every time they come here. It's good. [Applause] Tada. I like that it's fun. You learn a  lot of stuffs like science, math, reading,   and like the science experiment we just did. It  was really cool. Parents or

007others may think,   oh, it's summertime, so learning stops.  Learning never stops. So as they continue   to come to the program, you know, it's just  enriching them and and inspiring them to want   to be inventors and inspiring them to  continue to work with others and collab   with others. So I do think that this  program should continue to be going.   That's why this is my third year coming  cuz again, I'm having fun too with it. We hear you. We hear your commitment to  learning and we're here to extend the challenge.   That's why we're asking every student,  family, and staff member to be present   and be engaged. When we show up, we build  a foundation here. And when we show up,   we build a future. I'm here today. I'm here  today. I'm here today. I'm here today. We

008are   here today. We believe in the power of showing  up. So, we're here today. Are you? Are you? [Music] side here is right next to them. DB  right here next to them. Hey everybody   understand that hey hard work on  three for me on three. Help me. [Applause] [Music] Super. [Music] Heat. [Music] [Music] Heat. [Applause] [Music]   All right. Hey, get out of  here. Let's get out of here. Hi, I'm Katie Philpot, preschool intervention  specialist at Rosa Parks Early Learning Center. My   position is to educate all preschoolers who come  through our doors into our classroom and service   students on an IEP, individualized education  plan. And it's a way that all students can   access the curriculum and education. The kids are  vibrant and excited every day to come to school   and they're learning literally how to school and 

009that's so important. DPS has lots of opportunities   for growth. They give you ample professional  development hours which you need for your   degree to continue on teaching. It's a great place  where you're going to meet all kinds of people.   You're gonna meet every kind of student there is.  And there's going to be challenges for sure. But   when you handle those challenges and overcome  them, you'll feel so proud of yourself. I enjoy   the people I work with. They are some of the  best human beings you will find on this planet.   Um, I enjoy how there is a preschool program  for families who want access to that. That's   very important to the K12 curriculum. It's a great  place to be. And if you look around the buildings,   you will see active learning. You will see  bulletin boards with

010the learning on it. So,   you know that there are great things happening  in the classrooms. Every child who enters our   classroom feels that their learning is  important and that they are valued and   they are important. So being the one  to do that is like a warm fuzzy hug. I now call to order this August 19th  business meeting. Madame Treasurer,   may we have a roll call? President Goodwin  here. Dr. Bailey here. Mr. Lacy here. Mr. Smith,   present.

So now we will move on to  hearing of the bargaining units. Oh,   give me one second. One second. I  want to make sure

021we can hear you. All right, here you go. All set. President, Vice President Bailey, Treasurer Braha,  Superintendent Lawrence, board members, DPS family   and friends that are viewing this. Um, on behalf  Well, first of all, my name is Neil Mahoney   and I am the president of the Dayton Education  Association. On behalf of my membership, we would   like to thank the board on making sure that our  members were paid last Friday the 15th, all the   efforts that went into that. We truly appreciate  the hard work that was done. And on behalf of my   membership, I want to say thank you. The reason  I'm here tonight is there are two agenda items   that I would like to address. Um, I know one of  the agenda items you will be looking at will be   the u boarding of our

022long-term subs. I am here to  advocate for my long-term subs and the important   role that which they serve. In September of last  year, we entered into anou with the board about   uh the long-term subs pay. Anyone after September  1st would be paid the existing base pay of 51785.   We then entered into a uh contract negotiation  that said anyone that was being paid at the end of   the 2425 school year would continue that pay for  the next two years of our contract. It has come to   my attention that there's been a uh a significant  number of long-term subs that were paid prior   to September 1st at a higher scale. So before  September 1st, they would have been uh somewhere   at M's level, some are at PhD level. And because  of our new contract wording where it

023states that   they get what they would be paid at the end of  this of last school year, I think that we need   to work together to to readress this issue. And  I wanted you to know that the Dayton Education   Association is more than willing to do whatever we  need to do to work together, to collaborate, to to   take care of those people that might have fallen  in a a wording snafu, if you will. The second area   that I would like to address is the resolution  that we'll be voting on today concerning the bus   passes, specifically where it says all students  must wear a visible badge identifying them as a   student. I hope that you maintain that and as a  suggestion we maintain that in our schools our   students are still required at our high schools

024so  that from safety and security we can identify our   students that they continue to wear their badge  all day long. So I would like to put that thought   into your head that with this resolution if they  have to wear their badge for the bus it makes   sense that when they get to school and all day  long they maintain wearing their student ID. That   is all and I always appreciate your time. Thank  you. Can I ask you one follow-up question? I just   want to make sure we understand the pay issue.  Can you just restate it one more time for me,   please? Okay. Prior to September 1st of the 24th  school year, we had some long-term subs that   had been hired with a master's or a plus 18 or a  PhD, which put them above the base

025of a firstear   teacher. We entered into anou stating that after  September 1st, all long-term subs hired in after   that point would only be regardless of their  if they had a masters or anything BA1 50 BA1   51785. Okay. When we entered into our contract  negotiations recently, uh the wording states   that t long-term subs will be paid what they ended  last year at. And I think what the intention was,   we were under the impression that they were all at  51785. Well, that wasn't the case. We have several   that ended last year at a higher rate because  they were hired before September 1st. This year,   they received their first check and it went down  to 51785. It was a significant drop. And uh they   weren't really notified of this. And I don't think  it was anyone's intention to

026leave this out. I   just think it got caught up in the wording and  the DEA would like to work collaboratively with   the board to rectify this situation. Okay. Thank  Can you give us get us a list of the individuals   if you do have that affected or I have asked for  HR to provide that and I'm really hoping Dr. Davis   will be able to provide those individuals that  were hired before September 1st last year at   above the 51785 base pay for a teacher. Okay.  I'm gonna ask Treasury if you could. I think   you guys would be able to get it because I think  you have that one, but thank you. We will look   into it. Thank you, Mr. Mahoney. Are there any  other bargaining units here to speak tonight? All right. Madam Treasur, do we have

027any  individuals from the public that are registered   to speak tonight? Yes. Okay. Give me one second.  Mr. Walker will be serving as our timekeeper. Okay, members of the public,  when you come to the podium,   please state your name and address. Please limit  remarks to three minutes. It is inappropriate to   address any matters involving pending disputes,  grievances under a labor agreement, disciplinary   actions involving an employee or student, ongoing  labor negotiations, concerns, or matter that have   already been settled and or any matter which,  because of its nature is deemed appropriate   to be discussed in executive session. May we  have the first speaker, Shel De Franco. Excuse me. Good evening board. My name is Shelley DeFranco  and my family lives at 632 Belmont Park North   and my students attend River's Edge Monastery.  They have just begun their second

028and fifth grade   school years. I'm standing here tonight  with two key concerns related to parent   guardian communication and to transportation. By  profession, I work in communications and public   engagement. I want to express my appreciation for  the communication I've had with Craig Anderson,   the senior executive director of transportation  so far this week. That said, I'm extremely   disappointed with the outcome. On Monday, August  11th, after 12 p.m., the literal day before the   school year started was the first time that the  district communicated to parents regarding busing   students for the school year. I find that  lack of communication wholly unacceptable.   The communication stated that my students no  longer qualified for busing due to our home   address being within one mile of the school.  We have lived at this address for two years   and being told the day before

029school started is  impractical. Since then, I have called, emailed,   and spoken with transportation staff who continued  to not to deny busing to my students. We live 0.9   miles from the school, and my students, ages seven  and 10, were told they were classified as walkers.   The route to school includes crossing two major  intersections traversed by Greater Dayton RTA   buses. Main Street when it is five lanes wide  and is less than a quarter mile from the on and   off ramp for both I75 and Route 4. And they would  also need to walk underneath Interstate 75. The   route at a seven and 10year-old walking pace who  by their own admission are very slow and like to   look at things would take them 30 minutes. This  route alone should qualify them for busing despite   the distance due to the

030district's own published  policy online that says yellow bus transportation   is provided to all K to8 students who meet the  following eligibility requirements. The two that   are directly impacted by my family are if they  have a route to school affected by one of four   hazards, including a major highway, and live in  the same transportation zone as the school that   they are attending. We live and go to school  in the north zone and attend a district-wide   school. My last point is a more practical one and  I think a simple solution exists. Our neighborhood   includes students like mine who are less than  1.0 miles as well as students who are 1.0 or   more from the same school. As such, there's an  existing bus route, route 517 that goes through   my neighborhood. And there is a bus stop two 

031blocks away that my students could utilize.   We would not need morning transportation just  afternoon. I've confirmed that there is space   on that bus to allow for my two students to sit.  That way, the bus driver would not be we would   not be imposing an additional stop and it wouldn't  delay other River's Edge Monastery students from   getting home safely. I do not believe that they  are an exception to the rule. As I have talked   about with Dr. Anderson, Mr. Anderson, they are  eligible based on the district's own policy.   I urge you and the DPS transportation staff to  see this practical solution as well as the stated   eligibility requirement posted online and allow my  students to begin receiving transportation. In a   time when public schools are under attack and the  district proclaims this year as mission possible,  

032the thought of deincentivizing students and their  parents. If you can wrap it up, that's your three   minutes. Is a port. Thank you for your time.  Thank you. That was so close to three minutes.   Thank you. U Dr. Jones, if I can ask if you could  follow up with Oh, got to make sure she hears   this. Dr. Jones, if you can follow up with her on  this issue and even the bust that she gave us and   if we can get an update of the board within the  next 24 hours of kind of what the plan is to move   forward on that piece because it does sound kind  of practical what she's saying. Thank you. Dr.   Jones will be following up with you right there.  Actually, if you just walk to him right now and   go outside,

033he can get with you immediately. Okay.  Thank you. Our next speaker, KT Harrison. [Music] I'm gonna be a dead horse here. Sorry. Okay.  Okay. Name and address for the record. My name   is Katie Harrison and my family lives at 225  Belmont Park East. Uh my three children um   attend River's Edge Monasuri. They are in first,  fourth, and fifth grade. They have all attended uh   River's Edge since preschool. I'm here tonight to  advocate for the safe and reliable transportation   for my children. For the past three years, my  children have been bus riders. Yet this year,   on August 11th, the day before school started,  I was notified for the first time that they were   reclassified as walkers. The late notice left us  with no time to prepare and was an unacceptable   solution. In the past, I was

034told that students  at open enrollment schools are eligible for bus   transportation. Also, per district policy, it  states that students walking through hazardous   areas also qualify. My children's walking route  requires crossing major intersections, passing   through areas near the I75, Route 4 interchange,  and walking under the interstate itself. These   conditions clearly clear clearly meet the  district's definition of hazardous route. The   original communication said they were classified  as walkers. Then once we were able to prove that   it was not safe for them to walk, they have since  been changed or the rhetoric was changed that they   are no longer walkers. But it's the parents and  the school's responsibility to figure it out. So,   it seems that the policy is being changed in real  time to better fit desired outcomes. On top of   that, the bus that serves our

035neighborhood, bus  517, also already drops off students just a block   and a half from our home. In fact, it drives right  near our house. Um, we've asked that our children   if our children could simply be allowed to get off  at that stop. There is plenty of room on the bus,   so this solution would not require adding stops  or inconvenience inconveniencing other writers.   Since receiving this news, I've called, emailed,  and spoken with multiple transportation staff,   including Mr. Anderson, who was very nice,  uh, to appeal the decision. Each time,   the answer has been no. But the reality remains,  my children's route is hazardous. They meet the   district's own eligibility standards in that  case, and a practical common sense solution   already exists. I urge you to reconsider this  decision and allow my children to continue   receiving bus transportation

036just as they have  safely and successfully for the past three years.   I do want to make it known that we love the city  of Dayton and chose to purchase our home in Dayton   eight years ago. We have had a wonderful  experience at River's Edge Monastery with   staff and students. The last thing we want is to  have to uproot our children from their home away   from home with their friends and their teachers  uh due to a sudden lack of transportation for   them to get home from school not to just home from  school. Thank you for your time and consideration. Can I ask a clarifying? So, it's just the ride  home from school, not to school. Correct. Okay.   Same thing, Dr. Jones, if you can follow up  with these two. And then I'm also going also   going

037to ask cuz I'm sure that if they're  saying that communication went out the day   before school started, if these aren't the only  individuals who have reached out as a board,   can we get an update on how many individuals were  impacted who were writers last year who received   this? kind of why this communication came out the  day before school started and how we're working   through to ensure that if this is not if it's  not practical or accurate that we are getting   these individuals back on routes and that piece  and if we could get that by the end of the week   that would be great. All right, thank you. Our  next question that concludes tonight's speakers.   Thank you. Okay, our next one. I think I need  you all to refresh real quick your screens. All right, Dr.

038Lawrence, your first  recommendation. First recommendation is   that we apply the 48 hour waiver rule. Is there  a motion? So moved. Second. Moved by Mr. Walker,   second by Mr. Lacy. Any questions on the motion?  Seeing none, Madam Treasure, may we have a vote?   President Goodwin, yes. Dr. Bailey, yes. Mr. Lacy,  yes. Mr. Smith, yes. Miss Reard, yes. Mr. Walker,   yes. Miss Wick, yes. Seven yeses. Thank you. Your  next recommendation. My next recommendations is   superintendent's personnel agenda A through F. Is  there a motion? So moved. Is there a second moved   by Miss Wick, second by Dr. Bailey? Are there  any questions on the motion? The Yes. Go ahead,   Mr. Walker. Um, under C 11, uh, it just  says change date from zero 16, 2025. Hello. That was a typo and it was legit  zero. And so we're

039actually putting a   date in there now. What's the date? Yeah, it  still says zero. That's Thank you. One second. Okay. So 016 2025. Gotcha. Okay. Okay.  Any other questions? Yes. on the um the generalist D7 uh generalist  administrative assistant. Um is   this not step zero to three  or is this a different step? That's step three to five. Okay. Is there an  update on other individuals who appealed their   steps um time frame of getting a response  on if that appeal was approved or denied   and rationale as to why some individuals have  already been given a response and other we're   waiting to have that meeting to confer and get  back with them. Okay. Thank you. I appreciate   it. Any other questions? Seeing none. Madam  treasure, may we have a vote? Oh, wait. So,   I did have one.

040Go ahead. What is student gardens?  No idea. I can defer to curriculum for that. It says extra duty student gardens. Hi, I'm Gail Wright. I'm the director of related  services. Our project life students at Belmont   and Thragood worked this summer. Um, one of our  occupational therapists came in and worked with   them and they did gardens for the district. Um,  the one behind Belmont is beautiful and they have   chickens back there. If you're there, you need to  visit. Um, they worked on a sensory garden at Bell   Haven as well as a garden at Edison. Okay. Thank  you. I appreciate it. Sure. All right. I have one   question. Go ahead, Mr. Smith. Um, I guess it's  Dr. Lawrence or or Dr. Jones or Madame Treasure.   Most likely Dr. Lawrence, do we currently I know  we had some

041people, we talked about it before,   some longterms that have came in and started  working because the need before we were able   to get them uh boarded. Do we with the people that  we have boarded now, do we still have people out   there that are working that have yet to be boarded  in any departments? I think this No, no, actually,   we will have um we have a couple that I just  wrote a note about just before this that'll be   working that we're going to uh put on during the  retreat and there will be some a few more. So,   at the September 30th retreat, we have a few more,  maybe about a dozen or so board members. Okay,   appreciate it. No problem. Are there any  other questions? That's a August retreat,   not a September thing. I'm sorry.

042We also have a  September retreat. He meant to August. You said   no. I'm not in charge of that. I understood where  you was coming from. Thank you. All right. Any   other questions? Seeing none, that we have a vote.  President Goodwin, yes. Dr. Bailey, yes. Mr. Lacy,   yes. Mr. Smith, yes. Miss Rhina, yes. Mr. Walker,  yes. Miss Wick, yes. Seven yeses. All right. Your   next recommendation, uh, human resources DEA  after July 10th for a vote. Is there a motion?   So moved. Is there a second? Second. Moved by  Mr. Lacy, second by Miss Wick. Any questions   on the motion? Seeing none, that may we have a  vote. President Goodwin? No. Dr. Bailey? No. Mr.   Lacy? No. Mr. Smith? Yes. Miss Rhinard? No. Mr.  Walker? Yes. Miss Wick? No. Five. No. Two yeses.   Thank you. Are there any

043questions on the budget  information? All right. Next recommendation. Uh my   next recommendation is contracts for approval. I  would like to make note of the contract in yellow.   McGomery County ESC uh for $9.1 million. We took  it off last week. We actually never made it on   last week because we were still in negotiations  with them. We have received um I believe it's   three students back. And so what happens is we'll  meet with them each each uh each two weeks every   week to see how many students we're receiving  back and we will not have to pay that full   amount. So when each student comes back we reduce  the amount there. Um next year um we hope to see   that total much lower because those students  are coming back and they're at Jackson Center   uh currently right now.

044So all right any questions  on Mr. Walker? I just want to clarify. So this   9.1 is for tuition, but this is separate from the  8.9 million that we also give them. No, it's not   for tuition. It's for Well, it's for related  services. It's for Sykes. It's for OTPT. Um,   so the one that we did last year for 8.9. Yes.  So this one, yes. To actually to your point,   every year you've been here, you're right, it's  escalating, which is why we're negotiating.   I I I think for me I'm curious on with this  one um where are we actually spending dollars   at for those services? Oh, so Miss Miner um  meets with the um superintendent of the ESC,   Miss uh Shannon Cox, and with um feedback from  OAC, Dr. Dinsbore, and they let us know, hey,   here

045are the services we need for this year. Here  are the services we don't need. So we get like a   two-pager and they go through that and we mark it  up or revise it and send it back and forth which   is why we're talking about the number of students  that are coming back from Jackson Center coming   back to Jackson Center. So we we look at that  every year and um late May maybe we begin the   process of looking at our services for the next  year. And then last question is this all related   to OEC students or is this district-wide services  for students as well? There's some in here there.   This is districtwide. Okay. You know, I don't,  you know, I don't consider every student with   some form of disability just an OAC student. So,  there's some

046other services in here. Thank you.   Psych services, other things like that. Okay.  Um, and then my last question would be more so   I know that we ended or the contract ended for  um 21st century at Westwood. Is there an update   of if that building will have different program  or what does that look like without 21st century?   I would have to defer to uh Miss  Desan Graham, Miss Miner, Miss Burlock as part of the 21st century. Uh the administration  and the organization are to work on a sustainable   plan so that services can begin. What we're doing  now is analyzing our funding with our state and   federal grants which can offset and still provide  some services. So that's something in the planning   that we're working out and we can bring another  report as we finalize it. They're

047doing a lot   of budget revisions right now. If I can ask for  this, Miss Garren probably um to be added to our   student after school activities committee agenda  and then we can discuss it there as well. And then   we'll discuss it there. Thank you. Concludes  your questions. Are there any other questions?   The the contracts need a motion. No, we haven't.  Thought we We did. Who was it? So moved. Second.   I thought we did it. I thought you missed. Yeah.  Karen, didn't you? No. Did I what? No. Oh, no. He   just started talking. Moved by Mr. Lacy. Second by  Miss Ry. Second. Yes. Any other questions on the   motion? Seeing none, may we have a vote? President  Goodwin, yes. Dr. Bailey, yes. Mr. Lacy, yes. Mr.   Smith, yes. Miss Reard, yes. Mr. Walker, yes. Miss  Wick,

048yes. Seven yeses. Your next recommendation,   Dr. Goodwin, next recommendation is  the approval of our one consultant, uh,   Don Worker Turner for Brady. Is there a motion? So  move. Second. Moved by Dr. Bailey, second by Miss   Reiner. Any questions on the motion? May we have  a vote? President Goodwin? Yes. Dr. Bavy? Yes.   Mr. Lacy? Yes. Mr. Smith? Yes. Miss Rhinard? Yes.  Mr. Walker? Yes. Miss Wick? Yes. Seven yeses. Your   next recommendation? Uh, Dr. Goodwin the DPS YSU  clinical health agreement simply stated last week   like I said student teaching for healthcare  providers. Madam President, can I take Oh,   uh, thank you. C and D together. Thank you  so much, brother. Is there a motion? Thank   you. Second move by Miss Wick, second by Mr.  Lacy. Any questions on the motion of C and D? Seeing none and

049we have a vote. President Goodwin,  yes. Dr. Bailey, yes. Mr. Lacy, yes. Mr. Smith,   yes. Miss Rhina, yes. Mr. Walker, yes. Miss  Wick, yes. Seven yeses. Your next recommendation,   uh, Dr. a good one. My next recommendation, and of  course I hope to hear discussion and feedback from   the board, is we have a safety recommendation, a  resolution uh for uh our students who are going   to be using bus passes now as a function of the um  uh TTRO um TTRO that was in Franklin County that   now has halted uh House Bill 96 for now. And so  we wanted to be good neighbors and make sure that   uh while we are getting the passes back, we wanted  to ensure that this is not um a kind of haha. We   are serious about student safety and we're serious 

050about um our kids getting to school and getting   there safely and getting downtown and moving from  downtown and getting to school and also how you   can identify our kids. So uh in order uh for them  to get bus passes um they must have a student ID   districtwide. They must have a visible student  ID they when they get their passes. Uh they also   um in addition to that they and their parents  are students must sign the RTA's essential code   of conduct for behavior on RTA transit and any  all the things that I'm reading now these are   things that non DPS students have to do as well.  Uh in addition our our leaders pick up their bus   passes from the service center. That means all  other non DPS folks will have to pick them up from   the

051service center. And also I just want to say  that uh we're also dis it's not in the resolution   but we're also dispatching um our safety and  security back to the hub um at the cost of about   $30,000 to protect and secure our students. So,  um it's not in the resolution, but we we want to   make sure that we know that um our kids are safe  and we would like for our community partners to   um kind of put the same effort forward that we are  in terms of making our kids safe. Thank you. Is   there a motion? So moved. Is there a second?  Second. Moved by Miss Wick, second by Miss   Riner. And before we go, I do want to say first,  I appreciate this resolution. I do want to clear   some misinformation that I've seen.

052We have not  purchased new passes because we are currently in   litigation right now. So the passes that are being  utilized from our business manager told us is it   about 3,500 we had because we purchased the month  in advance from last year. Is that correct? 3500.   Okay. We have a little bit more than 3500. So I  appreciate that this is out and I also I think   it reinforces a regulation that we brought forward  about two years ago with the RTA passes of things   that students already have to do. And I think this  is really good and in line with the similar what   we did with athletics of requiring our students  and the other ones. And I hope that the community   continues to support and I will say to just the  same thing I've said to anyone

053who's reached out   ways that you can support because we don't know  how litigation is going to go. So though all the   efforts that are happening, we hope that that  continues if we need it because we don't know.   We also hope that people are visible because our  students need you all to be in the community to   help them make great decisions and to continue  to learn this process of being really out in   the community without their parents at times. So,  please continue to support and help our students   and also non DPS students because they're all City  of Dayton teenagers. Next, are there Go ahead,   Miss Riner. Thank you, President Goodwin. I have  a number of questions about this resolution. Um,   when I first saw this, I gave you a phone  call. Um, and we talked a

054little bit about it,   but I want to kind of have some of those questions  publicly because I think it's important to have   and I and I know I'm going to have more questions.  Um, I recommended when I initially read this,   I thought it looked a little bit different  from all the other um, resolutions that we   have. Can you explain to me um, why this was not  brought to policy committee first and who wrote   this resolution? Dr. Lord. Sure. uh just given  the speed and the nature in which we wanted to   provide this immediate support by giving students  uh passes as quickly as possible. We bypassed uh   policy committee at Belmont on Friday when I was  there. I asked nutrition services how many meals   um they served and they said 500. They typically  serve over 900

055meals. So it was clear we had a   serious um attendance issue there. Many students  transport themselves across Dayton, West Dayton   to Belmont. It's a pretty popular school and so we  were having some issues at several of our schools.   We thought this that was Thursday actually. Uh we  thought this uh was uh we needed to expedite this   process. So that's why we went this route. Second,  this actually two years ago. There is actually if   I I couldn't get it from this kid because she's  been out. But I will get that and give it to you   because the transportation team actually brought  the code of conduct to policy two years ago. It   was adopted as a res regulation. So it is already  existing and happening at that point. Okay. on top   of what you just said. Thank

056you. Who wrote  this resolution? Just for my clarification,   uh we sent um the parameters of it to Frost  Brown and they wrote the resol resolution,   sent it back to us and we forward it to board  members. Okay. And and um is there a reason why um   so the biggest flag for me I just had a question  about. Um it says in a couple different sections   um it refers to the board provided RTA bus pass.  Shouldn't it be a DPS provided RTA bus pass,   not a board provided? Why? Why the difference  there? Uh Frost Bront did not uh we didn't talk   about that. Um I if I had to make a judgment  uh probably because it's a resolution. So,   but isn't is Yeah, we can we I mean you  can change it from here. Isn't all

057property   owned by the board of education? So, this is  still considered property of Dayton Board of   Education in a sense. Once we purchase it and  we usually throw tags on it like my laptop,   it's a Apple laptop but it has a Dayton board  of education tag on it because it's there just the subject just yeah just but I would  I would go back to I would assume that that   is correct on that piece of it but I would say  just ask Alex okay or someone from Okay, that   concludes your question for now. Yes. Thank you  madam. Go ahead Mr. Lacy. Just uh just one point   um revocation of a of a student's bus pass. That  that that is a that's understood to be a Dayton   public schools resocation, not not an RTA. You're  not say

058we're not empowering RTA to to kick kids   off a bus because they don't have their board  member Lacy. Thank you so much. Yes, that is DPS. That's all I have. Thank you. Mr. Walker.  Uh, so a few questions for me. Um, one,   if what we do for day in public, we have to  do for charter. So, is this saying to those   charter students that they have to comply with  the same thing? And if so, in line with that,   one, do all DPS high school students have  ID badges? Second, how are we going to have   charter school wear ID badges for a board  approved bus pass? So, as a as a function   of charter school students getting a badge,  we didn't take that in consideration because   I feel like that's they they have to figure that 

059out if they want to get a pass. As it relates to   um the first question, I'll let Dr. Jones  answer that about whether or not and andor   Chief Wright who's back there if all students have  passes. I mean, have um IDs rather, excuse me. Good evening, President Goodwin, board  member, Superintendent Lawrence. Um, yes,   student badges are currently being processed and  all students should have badges hopefully if we   can get them all done by um should be by the end  of next week was the deadline they were given. So,   it'll be before September 1st basically  is what they're trying to do. Yeah. So,   can I ask for um students who are getting a  bus pass be prioritized then the other DPS   students so that if this is something the  board does decide to do tonight that

060that   is being followed with those students of being  them wearing it. Okay. When you say up students   getting bus passes first. Yeah. They can be like  top on the list or something like that. Um, and   then the other part that I would have, so Chief  Right, this is now saying that we are now adding   the $30,000 price tag of overtime back to staff,  the library, and the hub with SRO's. Correct.   That's what I just heard as well. Okay. Um,  how how are we going to enforce RTA's policies? We're um you know our position is that by signing  you're suggesting that you're going to follow the   directives that they have their RTA code of  conduct and when that when you don't do that   then we'll revoke your pass. That's that's  what we're that's what we plan

061on doing.   So, I I think where I struggle with this is what's  been said before by the um what's been said before   about the CEO of RTA or bus drivers um is that  RTA does not want our kids on their buses. So,   if we're going to enforce their policy or  whatever, who's to say that they're just not going   to kick one of our kids off because they don't  want them there anyway? Uh we'll cross that bridge   over there. I can't speak to how they're going to  operate. This is again it's a board resolution.   Um I brought it back to the board to have a  discussion and we're simply going to carry out   sections 1, two, and three. Can I ask a question?  Thank you. Absolutely. Dr. Lawrence and Dr. Jones,   can I ask that you

062guys, cuz this is just me  hearing about the SRO piece coming back to,   but can I ask that you reach out to some of the  community groups like I know the street social   group that I've seen at a number of events that  are a community-led group that are really good in   navigating and I'm sure there are other groups  that may be able to assist us with essentially   we're we're helping manage in that sense of  helping teenagers safely get on and off and moving   that way. But can we can we really tap in the  different groups that have been helping right now   to see if they also have some solutions about ways  to navigate so we can this won't just be DPS by   itself which is always my biggest concern is that  we take on a

063project and we're the only ones there   and we leave the community out and then when we  need them they go back to go every time we tried   to come to you the door was never open to us.  Well, we'll do a specific all call tomorrow that   and start especially the groups that have reached  out about them getting passes because if they can   come to the table and they have solutions and that  piece that would be great because I don't want to   overstress again the SRO team and I do want to  pull in individuals who are active in the time   that need to be there to help again that community  connection piece and partnership not be lost. Uh   we'll definitely do all call tomorrow. Again, I  think just the speed of this, we wanted to make  

064make sure that we put some things in places and  we'll dial it back as we get more support. But   yeah, we'll we will do that ASAP tomorrow. You  got another one, Mr. W. Yes. Um, so this may be   more of Dr. Jones. There was a news article that  um one local high school DECA is purchasing their   students own bus passes, but this now was saying  that we're giving them bus passes on top of them   purchasing their own too because the state law  says whatever we do for public we have to do for   them as well. Yes. Okay. So, it's confirmed that  DECA has money to do for their students. Just it's   going to Got it. Just wanted to be clear on that.  And then Dr. Jones, you said in the mic people at   home cannot

065hear you. They will think Mr. Walker  is talking to himself. Yes, sir. That is accurate.   I appreciate it. And then so it was a really good  question though. We need to ask them, do they want   the passes? Yeah. Because if if if they decline  once we've offered, then that's out. We're we're   out of it at that point. We would have to check  with legal, but I don't believe that it works   like that technically. Uh we would probably have  to have something signed uh between the two of us,   but uh it is a possibility. Okay. And then as a  followup to that, the the arcade that does not   have a tiff from the school district that opened a  charter school high school that would entitle them   for bus passes as well for if they have students. 

066Unfortunately, it's a charter school, Monatory   charter school downtown. And yes. Okay, that's  all my questions. Thank you. Mr. Smith. Yes. Um,   while I appreciate this being put together, I  think what has been mentioned a couple of times is   the expediency that it was pulled together. And I  think for me it creates a document where I look at   it and nothing in here really makes our students  safe. Like nothing about them wearing a pass at   the bus stop or at the hub actually makes them  safer. it becomes just something for us to do. Um,   when I look around the state, the only other  districts that have a piece in there that say   a student must have a certain badge in doing  this uh, transportation piece are districts   that actually have real relationships with the  metro busing

067system in that district. And in   those districts, you have where our student ID  badge that is actually their bus pass. In some   districts, that is also their library card. That  is also a meal card. We don't have that. We're   saying we're a badge to be able to use the same  bus pass that anybody else in the city of Dayton   has. We also have had situations where we've seen  drivers go past students at bus stops and then   if we're saying to wear to get a district order  issued pass, you would have to wear a badge or you   can get your pass revoked. This still does not pre  prevent a parent or a student from getting their   own pass. And now I put RTA drivers in a situation  where they're looking and going, "Hey, this kid   has

068a badge. This kid doesn't have a badge, but  do they have their own bus pass?" And every bus   pass is the same. It isn't as if having this ID  enables you to have a different kind of pass where   in other districts around the state that actually  have a provision like this, their bus pass is tied   to this ID because this bus works from say 6:00 to  9 to 2 to 5:30. Like there's nothing in here that   identifies why they would be doing this or how  this would actually make them safer. The things   that have come up at the hub and the things that  we've seen with transportation that have been in   the news and things, there's nothing about wearing  a badge that would have made that situation any   different. Now, while I do think the

069things  that we've talked about outside of here, help   putting people downtown, reaching out to people,  even if we talk about badges in the building,   those are things that we can govern. Also, I have  a problem with us trying to put out something so   fast that we do not have a way to actually govern  it. It's the same as if I put out rules for   somebody in someone else's house. I can tell you  how to act, but if I cannot do anything about it,   what am I doing? We do not have SRO's or teachers  or principles traveling the streets in the morning   to make sure students are wearing badges. So why  would I put something out saying if you do not   have a badge waiting for your bus, you can lose  your badge when no one

070here working for us would   be the one looking for this. So I think that  we have time to look at how do I actually make   children safe? How do we actually look at what is  the radius for students that will be eligible for   this bus pass? having conversations with RTA like  we had before about what does that look like to   create a pass that works at certain times because  it it just makes no sense that we are one of the   few urban districts who has a metro system that  does not have the ability or does not have the   wherewithal to want to do something where we have  an actual specific pass. But until we're doing   something like that, this this puts more children  at risk than it does to ever help them because now   I

071have this ability to have a target where I can  say, "Oh, those are Dayton public schools in the   morning. I can pass those kids. Oh, these are  kids who who do not have a a badge on. I can go   and say that they don't have the badge." Like it  creates a situation where one, we cannot govern   it and we're asking some other entity to govern  our own policies and procedures. And for me, that   that just speaks to the the brevity of time that  was put into trying to do this where I understand   that we want to be good partners with people,  but being good partners doesn't mean we just   put something out because it doesn't do anything.  Like there's nothing in this this resolution that   does anything to make one child on that bus any 

072safer. But there are things in it that could make   a child get left out. You know, there's nothing  we can do if a DECA kid doesn't wear their badge.   There's nothing we can do about it. If a a Horizon  kid doesn't have a badge, there's nothing we can   do about it. And there's nothing about wearing  our badge that makes them riding the bus any   different. So whereas two children could be on the  same bus at the same school, one's wearing an ID,   one isn't, and one is buying their own badge  and the other one is getting a badge from us.   They're on the same bus. Nothing makes them any  safer by doing this. So until we actually look   at what are some of the things that we can work  with RCA on, work with some

073of our partners on,   this is just an empty document that we're doing  just to do. Uh, board member Smith, thank you   for your comments. I would just um just make a  uniform statement that um we are we're working   on universal badges for all 2500 staff members,  meaning I'm looking at Mr. Mahoney, the president   of the DA. We're working on a pilot project right  now at four schools where uh teachers are badging   in and that's their sign in just their badge.  And so we want to have teachers badge um all   administrators already badge. We want to have kids  with badges and we're hoping that this can be the   beginning of some of the things that you talked  about that maybe at some point these badges can   be used for uh something other than identification  and attendance.

074So it's it's a process and this is   the beginning. I would say if if it's a process,  then the rules and regulations should come as   we figure out the process and not to just throw  something out if we do not have the ability to do   it. I would feel much more comfortable if we did  have it passed and said, "Hey, having this pass   allows you to tap into the buses. Um, this allows  you to get after school. This is a extracurric burden on families, extra busy work to do a  whole lot of things that really don't amount   to anything. Even if we sign and say, "Okay, I'm  going to follow RTA's policies and procedures."   And who's going to call over and say, "Yes, this  person was was on the bus. They were cutting up."   And

075then it's a space like there's nothing in  here to say, okay, the what the revocation of   a pass looks like. Does it mean you lose your  pass when you act up Monday, you lose it Tuesday,   or do you not get one on October 1st or when the  next month period comes around? Like if you do not   have those things in there, we're just putting  things out to a community that constantly gets   the jerk and pull of we throw something out,  deal with it, we'll fix it later. And I mean,   we just had two parents come up and speak to  that that communication piece, that that piece   where parents are learning new things, seeing new  things, and we're not giving the time to actually   come up with something that benefits children.  Nothing in here benefits our

076children. Can I ask   a follow-up question, Dr. Lawrence? Uh, or  Dr. Jones, has there been any feedback from   RTA with students currently that have passes being  downtown? I've received none. Okay. Okay. And then   can I go to the other two minutes? Absolutely.  Thank you, Dr. Bailey and then Miss Wick. Yeah.   So, with this resolution, because I've heard  him say a lot about RTA controlling anything.   Is this more about RTA or is this more about  Dayton public schools trying to control who's   getting the badges and the regulations on um what  happens to you if you go down and act up and stuff   like that? Is that more is this more for us  or is this more a collaboration with RTA? We   we've not collaborated RTA with this resolution.  This is really about putting some parameters in  

077place for our students given that we now had an  opportunity to uh give away the 3,500 badges um   I mean 3500 passes that were uh purchased from the  year before. So for us it was just aligning what   we're doing here and as a result of us aligning  that anything we do other people have to do as   well. So you're just putting stipulations really  on the students and the parents for getting the   badges. Okay. Thank you Miss Wood. Thank you.  Um I appreciate the work. Um this is an ongoing   situation. Uh and it might not be a solution for  a year from now, but it is a solution right now   and it does provide action for our community. I  think that the identifiers really will help our   kids. I think having identification is helpful  to them.

078will um I think that the community has   been you know I I like what I in a lot of ways I  like what I see happening out I've driven by high   schools I see parents pulled up picking up kids  I see relationships being built with community   partners where people are outreaching and this is  an extension that DPS is doing to offer solution   to what we can right now in the seat that we're  sitting in and I appreciate the work and I hope   that our families um understand that the actions  are, you know, really to help them and really   uh we want everybody to have safe transportation.  We want our kids to get to school safely and this   is a way we can do that. So, I appreciate it.  Okay, Mr. Walker, I just wanted to

079um first thank   every organization that has stepped up to provide  passes for students. Um because like President   Goodwin said, the district has not purchased any  passes. These is just what we had from the last   fiscal year that if this law and anything like  that truly goes into effect that would not allow   us that opportunity. So for the organizations that  have stepped up that are fundraising to still do   efforts to get passes is much appreciated. And to  me it's still needed because you do have students   who need that and parents that cannot afford $60  right now. But RTA is going to raise that price   to $70 come January, which then if they raise  their price to that, that mean our $80 price act,   if we do purchase bus passes, will now go to $90  per pass

080that we end up buying. So, just wanted to   clarify that and thank those organizations. Thank  you. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Smith. Yeah. Um,   well, Dr. Lawrence, when you said that that  creates parameters for giving out passes, it truly   does not though because we're saying if you do not  have a badge on in these spaces, you can lose your   uh use of a district pass. But we do not have any  way to accurately measure or accurately have a   conversation about if a student does or does not.  Like if these things sound good, they sound good.   They sound like community partnerships, but if I'm  a child and I wake up and I go to that bus stop,   I'm not seeing a DPS staff member. When I'm on  that bus, I'm not seeing a DPS staff member.

081So   when I'm getting off, if I put my jacket on and  then somebody out there says, "Oh, Johnny doesn't   have his ID over top of his coat. Somebody go in  there revoke his badge." That's stupid. like just   let's just it's it's time that we stop putting out  things to do them and actually take the time to do   things that actually benefit students. There's  no way that we have the capacity right now to   actually say we're going to put parameters on who  gets passes based on what's here when all we have   is saying that you must wear ID badge where  we just said someone just came to the podium   and said everybody doesn't even have an ID badge  yet. So I don't even see the use of putting it out   before everyone has an ID badge

082yet. So now if you  have one group that doesn't have it yet, they're   working to get that. You have another group of  students who are charters who do not have to abide   by that. And really all their people just have to  say is yes, we wear our badges. Please give us all   our badges. So now I have one group of students  that do not go to DPS that has a whole different   policing mechanism than students that go to DPS.  And the only people that could really suffer are   students that someone says they don't have their  badge on and someone could go and revoke a pass.   But yet there's nothing in here to actually talk  about what that looks like either. So all we have   are words and feelings and that does nothing. We  have to

083get past that and actually do real work,   put together something. If you look at this  compared to any other urban district when it talks   about their transportation, this is bare bones.  Every other one talks about what the passes do,   why they're there, what's going on with their  passes, what they can do with their p. Ours just   says two thing, three things, two of which we do  not govern or control. So we cannot say that and   really be truthful and do it with fidelity as  people would like to say if there's nothing in   here that actually governs that. There's nothing  in here that helps kids. But there are a lot of   ways that students could be punished. And we  have seen over and over that through lack of   communication, relationships, things that go on.  Students get

084punished in different ways. Adults   get punished in different ways. Someone really has  the ability now to say that someone doesn't have   a past and I can ruin how they get to school.  But yet, we have no real way to say that that   really happened or not. We don't have a system  to say that we're partnering with RTA to put put   uh scanners on to make sure kids have these. Other  districts do. They have uh people that are at   on the buses that work with some of the other  partners. We do not have these things. So, we   have language that other people have without the  actual backing up that other districts have. So,   until you actually put the work in, you're just  putting words out. And these saying that these   identifiers will help our children without

085putting  the works in to actually make the identifiers   worthwhile and be a part of why they do it just  doesn't do anything. But that is all for me.   Thank you, Madam President. Go ahead, Mr. Lacy.  Um, aren't aren't we operating currently under a   board vote that says we're not buying? What  was the vote that we're not buying? Did we   vote that we're not passing out? Did we vote We  vote that it was like in June or something? No,   we voted not to buy it passes. Do we do we want  to revoke that? Just that I don't think we should   until after the litigation see like I think we  need to wait for the litigation. I mean we can   revoke it with the understanding that that there  we are in litigation. So I mean are we

086going to   use up 3500 passes? It's enough for two months.  Correct. How many students? It's so we have enough   to take us through if the if we are successful  then yeah we still have enough. And do we need   to do we need to give the the district direction  that we do want them to pass them out? Well,   we never told them that they couldn't pass  them out. Okay. So that's all I have. So if   we're operating under the fact that we had a  vote before that said we are not purchasing   passes once again why are we putting something  out talking about handling passes that we're   only talking about giving out for this one month  period because we haven't revoked anything. Also,   would we possibly need to examine that once  we get to where the end

087of this month is for   these passes? Because we still would have a few  weeks after that before these things from House   Bill go into effect at the end of September. So,  we would have to have a discussion on either are   we going to have people just figure out the  last part or are we going to come back? Like,   those are the things that it makes no sense to  have a a resolution about handling bus passes   at the same time that we have a standing vote from  the board saying we're not going to buy any extra   passes. So, we're basically having a resolution  about the passes that were just given out,   which means some of them will expire right after  some of these people just get their P. Like, we're   putting the cart before the horse

088and there's so  many other things that we could be doing. So, to   be clear, we have two months supply according to  our business manager. Is that correct? You have to   say it in the mic for people to hear. Uh, that is  correct. And our we will be in court. I don't we   will be in court I believe next week August 28th  August 28th so we have enough supplies to last us   through this one and after that piece I would say  if you guys have legitimate questions about our   case I would direct you to speak with our legal  team because we can't answer those things we are   in open and active litigation in that piece of  it to be clear go ahead to be so even with the   August 20th there is a board retreat on

089August  30th to where legal can provide an update and   see what we correct Okay. Correct. After they  actually go and argue the case. All right. So,   Dr. Jones, that number that you're looking at, is  that before or after you've calculated if every   single charter said that they want to passes as  well? Uh I think we'll be fine for the uh next   month. Yes. For two months. Yes. Like uh Thood  is taken care of. of there have been some other   community partners that stepped in and provided  passes and so I don't think that and actually the   I think the blow of not purchasing the passes um  parents just kind of figured it out you know they   made sure that their kids are getting to school  and so uh we haven't had to distribute as many so  

090I think we'll be fine okay so then that leads me  to so third goods passes were purchased and not   given by the district in correct correct so this  means third good technically their students would   not be under this this resolution you see what I  mean like we're talking about something that third   good kids could say I don't need to wear a badge  cuz third good I got this through somebody else   this isn't a district purchase pass that's what  I mean when I say if we're not doing the work of   looking into this we create policies that do not  govern everything so if third got passes without   them being given out by the district a third good  kid could say, "I don't have to I don't have to   fill out this form. I don't have to

091wear my ID  badge." That's what we're saying when we look   at this resolution because we've not put the time  in to actually create a real resolution. I'm not   putting you on the spot. I'll just You ain't got  All right. Any other comments or questions? Yeah,   I think I do. Go ahead. Because I'm trying I'm  listening to what he's saying. And so does that   mean that we would just we've got all these bus  passes that can be used within this time period   and because of this resolution are you saying  that we should not use those bus passes to give   parents at least a little bit of leeway to be  able to figure out some stuff because everything   that you're saying seems like it's like let's  just squash this. I mean, we they're coming up   with a

092plan to try to help the students get  to school. So, I'm I'm I'm a little confused   as if Do you want them to use the bus passes or  you don't want them to use the bus passes? So,   I'm the one who did not vote yes on not buying  them. So, I have always wanted our students to   have bus passes. I believe that we should have  bus passes. I also believe that we should purchase   them if we need to. I also was on the phone  asking to make sure that we could get these   passes out. My concern about the ones that we have  right now. My yes, we should use the ones we have   now. My concern is having a policy that governs  who can get them that is not really thought out.   The fact that

093we can look and see loopholes in  it right now. Like I'm for us having the bus   passes. I'm not for us creating punitive measures  that could be utilized in ways that only bit only   only hurt our kids. It would not hurt any charter  kids. I I wholeheartedly want us to have passes,   which is why I've spoken to parents and spoken to  groups and let them know even some of this the law   doesn't go until September 30th. Even before  we had did anything, we could have purchased   passes. I had said in the last meeting that there  was a way for us to get out passes and we should   go ahead and do it. I want us to have passes.  I do not want us to create ways where students   could be penalized and we do not

094have a just way  to actually stand up for them to see if it was   fair. We already have students that have come to  us and said I was leaving opponents a bus passed   me. Now I have the ability to say Dayton public  says if a student isn't wearing their badge that   they cannot use this pass. And I have the ability  to have a driver drive past a stop and it was 10   kids and say, "Hey, I saw three kids out there  without a bus pass." So, I didn't want to create a   situation and it was unsafe. Like, we're creating  ways to penalize children and there's no buffer in   there to make sure what we should be doing, which  is protecting children is inside of it. So, yes,   I want kids to have badges, I mean

095passes. I  just don't think this is a way that actually   helps them. Like, if we do not have this,  it doesn't change that they have passes.   If we do not have this, it doesn't change  that RTA can trespass a child for acting   up. And then that becomes a RTA situation where  that's a RTA legal thing. What we're doing is   putting ourselves in the middle of things. I'm  just saying I got my answer. I got my answer.   Thank you. All right. We're just doing stuff to  do. Anything else? Caught a question about ask. All right, we're ready for a vote. Go ahead,   Madam President. Presidential Goodwang.  Yes, Dr. Bailey. Yes, Mr. Lacy. No, Mr. Smith. No, Miss Rhina. Yes,  Mr. Walker. No, Miss Wick. Yes. Four yeses, three nos. Dr. Lawrence, your next  recommendation. Uh my

096next recommendation is   a resolution uh to nominate board member  Jocelyn Spencer Reiner for the Ohio School   Boards Association recognition award. I'd like to  read it. I like to say I went to the meeting last   month and saw Miss Reiner there interacting with  her colleagues from around the state. Uh she is   uh well thought of has been there been there since  2018 doing lots of really good work during her   board tenure. Um and the meeting was really really  fascinating listening to board members from around   the state. um talk about their districts and the  problems that they have. Whereas Johnson Spencer   Reiner, a board member at the Dayton City School  District, has served with the the district with   distinction. And whereas Johnson Spencer Reiner  has dedicated her time for the betterment of the   students and community. Whereas

097Johnson Spencer  Reiner has proven to be dedicated to the craft   of board governance through her commitment to  training, service, and governance skills. Whereas   such measures have advanced student achievement  in the district and improved the governance of the   district. Therefore, be it resolved that the board  of education of the Dayton City School District   nominates Johnson Spencer Reiner for the Ohio  School Boards Association recognition award. Thank   you, Mr. Riner. Would you like to say something  before we do anything? I would. Thank you so much,   Madam President. Um I'm very humbled that I have  um reached this level of recognition. This is the   culmination of many years of hard work. Um there  is a number of um awards that OSBA uh tracks and   recognizes every year and this is the culmination  of that. It is the the star

098award which will lead   to me being named a master board member at for  at the Ohio School Board Association level. Um   S stands for service, T stands for training,  A stands for aptitude and R is this last one   recognition. Um board members have three years to  um fulfill all the necessary requirements for this   award. Um service takes 150 points and it gives  points for local um district and board appointed   and state leadership including service on OSBA  committees which I am um on a number of those.   Training is 200 points needed and it um requires  professional development through OSBA and COSPA.   um webinars, the urban network, um legislative  conferences, board leadership institute,   the federal legislative advocacy group, which  I'm a part of, um the capital conference. Um   the aptitude is an assessment that board members  have

099a window to take every year. Um and I missed   the window last year and I and I made sure to take  it this year and I am just incredibly proud of the   work that I do. um not just at the district here,  but everything here that uh is the culmination of   this recognition is all the work that I do outside  of my normal board service. And if board members   have questions for me, I'm happy to answer them.  But thank you for the consideration. Thank you.   Is there a motion? So moved. Second. Moved  by Mr. Lacy, second by Dr. Bailey. Are there   any questions or comments? Can I ask um this is  actually an award where OSBA classifies that it's   supposed to be done in July. So why was it waited  until today and not brought

100in July? I don't   believe it has to wait until July. The aptitude  test is a window between June and July. Nope. Per   the OSBA recognition award website, it is an award  that is done in July. So I'm I'm just curious as   the waiting time frame. I was just notified  recently that I met all the requirements. Oh,   okay. All right. Any other questions or comments?  Seeing none, may we have a vote? President   Goodwin. Yes. Dr. Bailey, yes. Mr. Lacy, yes. Mr.  Smith, yes. Miss Rhiner, yes. Mr. Walker, abstain. Miss Wick, yes.

Telling  you now. You're not buying it or you're not   buying it. You're not buying the snacks. I'm not  buying the snacks. I'll support a student if they   want to buy a healthy snack, but support it. Hey,  listen. I got a six-year-old and a 10- year old,   so I just know they're bright. Takis.

I I just want to thank everybody for all the   hard work that they've done in getting this school  year started off. Um looking pretty good with some   of the schools that I've gone to. Uh thank you  Dr. Lawrence for uh taking my phone calls or   turning my phone calls back when I've had some  issues. Uh that's about it. Thank you all that's   out here today. Then I met a a new uh person in  personnel today. So we had a nice little chat. So,   thank you for your check and your comments.  Thank you, Mr. Lacy. Um, yeah, the finance   committee met last Thursday and we went

106over the  financial statements and they were in good order.   We also had a very lively discussion of our school  um um facilities and and how we need more or how   we need more space and um and then yeah, that's  about it. Thank you, Miss Wick. Um just thanks   to everybody who came out tonight, every all  of our parents that come out and advocate for   uh practical solutions to problems. it really  helps. Uh we have to hear the voices of the   community to be able to make the decisions that  we continue to make. So, thank you for all that.   Thank you to the staff. It seems like we're off to  a great school year. I do want to reiterate that   I love what I'm seeing out here in the community.  I love the community partnerships that

107I see that   are forming. I love that I see our parents lined  up outside of buildings picking up kids, dropping   off kids. Uh used to love to take my kids to  school. was one of my favorite times because some   of the most meaningful moments where you can have  conversation whether you're starting their day off   or you're unpacking the stuff at the end of the  day. It's really a special time. So, thank you   to our parents who are pitching in and doing the  work to get the kids to school. And uh yeah, let's   go DPS. Thank you. Thank you, Miss Rhiner. Thank  you, Madam President. Um, since last week, the   updates I have is we had a community engagement  committee meeting and we talked at length about   um some of the really great Title One events

108that  are planned across the planned across the district   um for the next school year. There's going to  be four of them. Um they do not yet have dates,   but we will be announcing those soon. Um we talked  about the work that the life coaches are doing   um as well as our um internal um community  outreach program with Miss Goens. Um,   thank you to all the staff members who are working  hard on that. Um, Dr. Lawrence was not able to   make it because it's the second week of school,  but he and I both received an invitation um to   attend a really interesting legislative lunch  in Cincinnati yesterday, and I was able to go   um clear some time in my schedule and go down  there. Uh, I would love to see if I could do   the same

109thing that Cincinnati had yesterday.  There was a real really good um meeting of all   the people um the the elected officials and the  community partners in one room. Um we had county   commissioners and we had city officials. Uh there  were a number of legislators there. Um minority   leader um Isacson was there. Uh and board members  were really able to give them a great update and   had a really really robust agenda of the things  that Cincinnati public schools is dealing with. Um   I felt a very unique uh bond of collaboration and  cooperation in that room. Um I would like to see   the same sort of thing happen in here. We've got a  number of roadblocks. Um but the the effort of DPS   is sincere in knowing that we can't do this alone  and we rely on

110our community partners um both   elected across the local and state and then um the  community organizations as well too. Um, it was   fantastic and if board members want to know more  about it, I'm happy to uh yap your ear off for   about 20 minutes. Um, I've had a number of federal  legislative advocacy group uh prep meetings. I   had a webinar today. Um, I had a meeting with uh  my fellow delegate and our alternate last week.   Um we are getting ready to go to DC next month  and have a hill day and advocate officially on   behalf of um Ohio Schoolboard Association and  DPS and COSBA. Um and I already have meetings   set up and I'm really looking forward to this. Um  I do this at least once a year and it's always a   really really really

111fantastic experience working  with our federal legislators advocating for public   education and things that we all know we need.  Um, just to give the board a quick update, the   legislative priorities are pretty much the same  every year. Um, it's, uh, you know, we we look   at our legislative priorities and they stay the  same every year. Um, they shift a little bit. Um,   it's it's a long it's work that takes years. Um,  and I'm proud to be a part of that. Um the biggest   legislative platform um uh ideas that I'll be  advocating for is prioritizing K12 public ed um   teacher and principal training and recruitment  through title 2 part A the individuals with   disabilities and education act increased funding  overall mental health supports child nutrition   broadband and -ate connectivity um and there's  also a big concern new

112concern about students with   disabilities through IDA and Medicaid given  that there are massive changes to Medicaid   happening. Um because I will be um attending this  conference and attending the Hill, I will not be   able to attend the board meeting which I believe  is the review meeting next month and I will send   you an official email letting you know. Um but I  am again grateful for the opportunity I have to   do this. And that is all. Thank you. Thank you,  Mr. Smith. Yes. Um want to say first, thank you   to the parents that came out today. I appreciate  when our community members used their voices to   lift up their concerns. Um, I also want to lift up  the the fact that they both came in with solutions   that they had thought about. I think that's one

113of  the things that we have to work on being better at   just as a community. It is I've said it before,  we are very good at pointing out problems. We   have to get even better at finding solutions.  Um, also I do have an ask um if Dr. Lawrence   uh could also work with Dr. Jones and bringing in  brother Anderson and others if we can look at our   high schoolers um looking at their addresses  looking at the schools they're coming from   uh finding out the radiuses of that so we could  actually look and see what is this the need as we   move forward with passes also with that I believe  if we could set up a way which is why I asked you   Dr. Lawrence because we'd probably be somehow in  the building or reaching out,

114but letting students   figure out how to use some of these apps to better  find the routes that they could take to be more   um efficient, kind of avoid some of the the mass  congestion that we see downtown at the hub. Um,   that is something I from talking to some some  people down in Cincinnati and Columbus, that is   one of the good things that has started to happen  is reaching out and actually on their district   page, it has the um the links and the steps for  a child to put in their school address and their   home address and it shows them where they could  possibly catch transfer. For kid like me, I never   had to go downtown and catch a transfer because I  just knew how to catch it from Salem down to Good   Sam and

115then go down Philadelphia. So, Dr. Jones,  if we could look into what that would look like as   finding those addresses and helping those students  find um what is the best route for them to go   home. I also would love, Dr. Jones, if we could  revisit those conversations that were had towards   the end of last school year about the possibility  of finding um what technology needs to be worked   with on our end and RTA's end on developing a  limited pass. I know we don't have the ability to   do limited stops at the same time right now, but  um that was something the CEO of RTA was talking   about was trying to find ways to do some limited  passes so passes work at specific times. I would   appreciate that. Um I want to shout out all of

116our  people that have not only come back to school but   doing extracurriculars already getting involved.  Please get out and show your support even from   being band uh volleyball even sit out and sit out  and catch the end of a cross country uh race. Um   soccer like these kids really enjoy when you're  out there and seeing what they can do and you   also get to meet community members, talk to some  people. So once again, get out there. I want to   thank all of our staff that has, you know, gotten  back in the groove of things. I appreciate all of   you. Um just keep working with each other. It's  not an easy grind. We have to keep working. And   to that end is why I want us to consistently work  towards being the best we can for

117children. A lot   of times adults do a lot of things that are all  adult-based but have no real effect on children.   If it has no real effect on children, it should  have no real effect on what we do. So with that   said, keep the main thing the main thing. Take  care. Thank you, Mr. Walker. Uh thank you. So,   um, for starters, I would like to congratulate all  new DPS staff members and returning members. Um,   thank you for coming back to DPS. Um,  please reach out if there's any questions,   um, any way that I may be able to support. Um,  this month, next week actually, we have our   student after school activities committee meeting.  Looking forward to that. Um, as well as we have a   ELLL committee meeting that will be going onto the  calendar. Um,

118I will say that since I've joined   the board, I've held two legislative breakfastes  with community partners as well, um, right here in   Dane Public Schools. And the next one is scheduled  for October 24th or November 7th. Our board staff   is already working on that. Um, community partners  have been invited, they show up, they have name   tags like everyone else. If my colleagues would  like to attend, I'm pretty sure Miss Kiz sends   us all an email because we all end up showing up  and it becomes a meeting. Um, next I would like to   um congratulate athletics. It's a new season.  I am excited for Friday. Um, Northridge versus   Styver is a game that I'm going to. Um, so looking  forward to that. I am excited for students who are   participating in sports, more than one sport,

119and  coaches who are not being uh roadblocks for those   students and giving them that opportunity. So,  very appreciative of that. Um, Dr. Lawrence, I   think me and Mr. Simmons probably visited the same  schools last week. I think he said I was following   him. That was not the case. Um, and then lastly  for me, uh, it is, uh, it is political season,   so be mindful of individuals and what they say and  what they've actually contributed, um, and what   they're running for and what that looks like as  an elected official. We are all here to represent   all 13,000 students, all 2500 employees, and  then all over 100,000 city of Dayton residents,   um, constituent services, media, whatever the case  may be. Do not be tricked by people foolish acts.   Thank you so much. Thank you. And I will

120pick  up where you left off. Please register to vote   if you haven't and stay registered to vote if  you haven't. and tell a friend or family member   because there is so much that happens in our world  that your vote does matter and you have to use it   in each and every election every single time. I  want to thank the transportation department. I got   the I won't say it was a pleasure but I was up at  the start of the day with the team last week every   day and that team is a very committed team because  they start while most people are still sleeping   at about 4:30 in the morning. So, I appreciate  that we got all children to and from school all   last week. We are continuing to do that without  incident. Our team is

121very thorough in safety and   they are making sure things are happening. And  I do want to thank the administration team for   showing their appreciation by not only buying  them lunch at some point, but they also got up   and cooked for them on Friday. So, we definitely  appreciate that piece of you. I do want to also   thank our community partners because the burden is  significantly less when we are moving together and   we are working together. So I really appreciate  the many grassroot group from the Dumbar alumni   from the group at Styver from the Omega CDC. It  is just it is really good when you have a shared   goal and you come together and you accomplish that  goal and I know that we can do it in so many other   areas because there are so many other

122goals that  we are working towards and we are trying to help   out with and I do encourage and hope that people  continue not only in the community side but on the   district side of partnering to do some of these  things that as multiple board members have stated   they benefit the children in this district in  ways that they need us to help and they need us   to come together and figure out because again  we're surrounded by some of the most talented   and smartest individuals when it comes to finding  resources and opening doors that aren't available   to them. I also want to state Charity Adams is  looking for a debate coach. So if anyone Whoa,   whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You only  doing one year. I'm trying to get ahead of it. I I   understand

123that that is a extra duty and I don't  want to stand in anyone's way who will take the   compensation to be there and I will come and help  you get going on that piece. But yes, I'm excited   that debate season is coming around again and I  don't want to block anyone's blessing and I will   continue to say that Charity Adams is looking for  a middle school debate coach and I want you all   to, you know, go ahead. You will beat me for the  position. I will give it to you gladly. But yes,   please be involved in that piece of it. Other  than that, I will say tomorrow we have our   student athletic committee meeting again open to  the public and I believe it's at actually I don't   know where it is. I feel like it

124moved cuz it  used to be here and it was at Jackson. Is it the   service building Miss Jones? You know where our  meeting is. It's here. It is here. It is open to   the public. Some of the things that we're going to  get accomplished this year. One big one is we are   going to get this Hall of Fame taken care of this  year. So, we please be on the lookout for that.   Whether we're going to make a vote, we're going to  have it happen. If individuals are interested in   being a part of the committee, any of our board  committees, I encourage you to reach out to not   only myself, but the chairs of those committees,  that information is located on board docs. If you   need a direct source, Miss Garren or Miss Kidd  are kind
