So Lily summer camp program is all about STEMbased projects and different modulars. So the
006kids are faced with different scientific challenges um and different topics focusing on the engineering design program and the scientific method. 3 2 1 It's not like regular school. So that's what make 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 having 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. Cutation is good like always. I saw him at the
007Victoria 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 stuff like science, math, reading, and like the science experiment we just did. It was really cool. Parents or others 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
008hear 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 are here today. We believe in the power of showing up. So, we're here today. Are you? Are you? Yes. July 30th, 2025. Special meeting. But it's all it's all good. [Music] Oh, hey. Did you get my cash app? I did. Joe was in the crown. Graduation. No worries. I just read it. I just read them all. Be man. [Music] scared of the smoke. I'm about to get y'all. I had to call I had to
009call and give a pep talk. Yeah, I had to call. He said, "I ain't coming." I said, "Don't do that. serving smoke, right? Just let me know when you're ready. Let me know when you're ready. [Music] sitting in the front row. Look, I just told you I said we had I said we had a she signing. and we had freshman come on in the work. Right. I now call to order this July 30th special meeting. Madam Treasurer, may we have a roll call? President Goodwin here. Dr. Bailey here. Mr. Lacy here. Mr. Smith here. Miss Reard, she has an excused absence. Mr. Walker here and accounted for. Miss Wick present. Six present. Please stand for the pledge of allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it
010stands. One nation under God. indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Our mission is to inspire, educate, empower. Our vision is to inspire, educate, and empower scholars for a lasting impact. Our purpose is to cultivate a supportive and engaging educational experience. Dr. Lawrence, you're first. [Music] That's a good one. Thank you. I recommend uh the approval of the 48 hour waiver rule. Is there a motion? So moved. Is there a second? Second. Moved by Mr. Walker, second by Mr. Lacy. Any questions on the motion? Um, yes. Go ahead. Well, not towards this motion, but I figure if we don't say it now, then it won't get done. If we have items on this agenda to vote for it, why do we not have public comment on the agenda? Thank you. Okay. Well, for this meeting,
011it says it's a special meeting and we just didn't put it on there. But we're not going to hear anybody that wants to speak to that. Even though we're going to vote, if the board would like to do that, we can vote on that and see if it happens. I would like to put that out there. I mean, I think we owe it to people if we're going to vote on things to at least let them speak if they would like to speak. Is there anyone here to speak on any items that we're voting on today? All right, we'll bring Mr. Money up for that item. All right, anything else on the motion? Seeing none, may we have a vote. President Goodwin, yes. Dr. Bailey, yes. Mr. Lacy, yes. Mr. Smith, yes. Mr. Walker, yes.
012Miss Wick, yes. Six. Yeses. All right. The deviation. Mr. Mahoney. Give me one second. Hold on. Give me one second. Let me read the Right. Walk. Give me one second. Molly. All right. Please limit comments to three minutes. Is inappropriate to address any matters pending dispute, grievances under a labor agreement, disciplinary action involving an employee or student, ongoing labor negotiations, concerns, or any other actions have already been settled or which because of its nature is deemed appropriate to be discussed in executive session. Please state your name and address for the record. Mr. Walker will serve as your timekeeper. And when after you state your name and record for the and address for the record, we will your time will begin. Um, why am I giving my address when I'm a leader of the bargaining unit?
013I have addressed this board multiple times and have never been asked to give my address. It is usually under the bargaining unit section in a normal board meeting that I address. I will gladly state my name. I will gladly state my position. Go ahead. My name is Neil Mahoney. I'm the president of the Dayton Education Association. Um, before I begin comment, uh, my first concern is I want to make sure you have my email address. I know there seems to be some communication problems because I never quite received according to Ohio Revised Code section 3313.6 any announcement concerning this meeting. If it was sent and I was not received, I understand. But I do not have anything concerning this special board meeting that is normally sent with every other board meeting that is special. I
014can go back to June 24th. We can go back to May. whenever there was a special meeting, uh I believe Dr. Goodwine, you had sent these things out. So, if it was missed, um none of my emails have it. I just want to make sure that my email is correct and up to date. Miss Kidd will can check that cuz that is actually who sends them out, but we will check that to make sure. Was that sent out? I do not send them, but I do believe they did. Miss kid is stating yes, they were sent out. Oh, it was sent out on Okay, fair enough. Um what has transpired in the last week or actually less than a week has put my members in a very awkward position mentally, physically, financially without any type
015of communication. We have asked for proof through open policy requests for any correspondence. We have never received any correspondence to show what started. Now we are looking at a program that has been implemented and members are working this program and it's not been presented to the board to vote on nor to make sure the financial resources are there to pay. I believe my dad would say you're putting the cart in front of the horse. I understand the board presented a resolution approximately April stating that any unit that had not put in their budget requests or their travel request would not be honored until the next fiscal year. That pol that resolution was rewritten recently because they didn't put anything in for the alternative school and they needed to go back and visit that. I'm wondering
016if this is also the case because this has not been budgeted for and I would like to give my members a guarantee that they will be paid for the work that which they have done Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. The DEA and I want to be crystal clear was never made aware of any of this from day one. And I challenge anyone to provide that documentation that we have concerning board policy DO that initiated this as well as everything after the fact the creation starting Monday of the opportunity for my members to hopefully scramble to work. In conclusion, the DEA has always worked closely with the administration. going back 30, 40 years, we had a contract negotiation that Dr. Lawrence can even say was one of the most fruitful opportunities to get done and none of this
017was brought up. I pride myself on transparency and I know my end I have achieved that. I am now challenging the board to please be transparent with their actions that affect the livelihood of my members. Thank you. Thank you. With the other union leaders, I think I see at least three of you. Just state your name and Mr. Walker will keep your time. Yes. My name is Kenny Jones Jr. I'm the uh president of Local 643 President. Um, what we here to talk about today was, well, first of all, some of the players really appreciate y'all giving them the couple days or whatever, whatnot. But to get forced off of 26 pays, it's ridiculous. People get on 26 pays to uh cover certain uh holidays that the pairs don't get paid for. Um, it's ridiculous
018to have them doing 7.5 hours when 8 hours are eight hours a day. Um, like I say, I go back and I say we do appreciate y'all giving these hours. Um, Union was not aware of the situation. Dr. Lawrence and I, he knows we talk about this all the time. Uh, it was pushed back. That's what that's all it was done. and all of a sudden we hear about we got to come off of 26 paid to get paid on the 15th of August. It should never happen like that. People are so confused. The the instructions of working at places or at home is so confusing. People don't know where to go, where to if they signing in on the in the building or they just working at the computer from home. They don't know
019this. Transportation is another confusion. If we can come together and just realize that our people need to be paid and being on the same um same station are the five C's as Dr. Lawrence would say that's one of them is communication first of all and the communication is not happening. Communication is not happening at all. And as you see it's beautiful to have red, blue and all different kind of colors up in here for teachers, par professionals and other uh uh locals in here. I just like to say please reconsider of what you guys thinking about doing. Thank you. Thank you. Any other bargaining union? All right. Thank you, Dr. Lawrence. Your first recommendation. Uh I recommend the approval of agenda items B through F. Is there a motion? So moved. Is there a second?
020Second. Moved by Miss Wick, second by Dr. Bailey. Any questions on the motion? I do, Mr. Walker. Um, so you did all of them together, right? Yes. Okay. Um, with regards to long-term subs, so the first question I have is school starts in two weeks and individual reached out and saying that they have not received notification that they were not returning. So, was there anything that went out letting them know prior to returning to work on the 28th that they weren't on a list of return or if they were not? Uh, last week at the principles institute in Liberty, um, HR met with all the principles and the teacher vac certified teacher vacancies that were not filled. We then informed the principles that they could begin the process of selecting long-term subs that they wanted
021to come back. So, at that point, um, they were going to contact them for the for them to fill those openings. We I did receive a call yesterday or I actually called a long-term sub. We said he had not been notified um and he was not going to be going back to the school, but we did um put him back in the pool for other principles to look at. So, there may be some LTS's who are not sure. Uh, as they reach out, we then put them in contact with principles. Okay. So to be clear, if they're not on a list of return to their building, then they are in a pool with other principles that can then interview them and see if they want to place them. That is correct. They're eligible to possibly
022be placed at another school. So an example would be um there's a school that had 10 long-term subs from last year, but only seven openings this year because we hired more certified teachers to go to that building. So you can't bring all 10 back. you can give us the seven that you'd like to bring back and then the three uh they should they should have been notified. If they're not, we will. Okay. Um and then there's another question, but I'll I'll I'll ask later. All right. Thanks, Mr. Smith. Uh yes to follow up on that um I think that's where my issue comes in is that the if we have not then we will like that can't be a mode of communication with people is like if we it's August this week so my thought
023is also if we know that the goal was to find more certified teachers and we know that these people were in buildings last year I think that's the time to communicate our goals and our strategies with them as well. I think we don't have everybody in. They don't have the opportunity to not only look and say, "Okay, well, like you said, we had 10 openings. We had 10 people. We're down to seven." That means there's three people who we counted on to help our children last year and we're not giving them time to figure out what they would want to do next. If there's a position somewhere else that they would like to go into, if there's just things that they want to do, if they would want to reach out to another building. So,
024I think that's part of my thing there. And the other one is I would like to know what is that process looking like not only with getting teachers in buildings but then also then these long-term subs who has the autonomy there to put people because I think if we're going long-term subs we'll give principles the opportunity to pick them but then we're also saying in other positions that decision comes from outside of a building. I think that's a m it's a it's a it's a crossing of communication lines there as well for me if we're saying that because on one hand you're telling people at the end to scramble you can go to the principal other positions we're saying we're going to handle it at HR and principles do not have full input all the
025time on each of these positions I think it's just it creates a bad message. Um secondly or thirdly I guess would be How what are we doing? Are we offering people positions if they have um different skill sets or are we just saying we don't have space for you? How does that communication that you said we have might not have done yet? How is that communication going to be carried out in a way that helps these people that have been here helping DPS try to find a way to stay helping DPS in some kind of capacity? Um there that's a lot. Let me just say quickly that previously long-term subs were automatically rolled over. They have not been their their jobs end at the end of the school year. So there's no promise that they
026were coming back, Mr. Smith. Um and so we again the idea is to hire as many certified teachers as possible. Uh and now one more I don't want to I'm not saying that we have to promise people, but I do say we should promise to have better communication with people. Just because there's no promise for something doesn't mean that we don't owe somebody who spent time in our building a conversation. We find ways to conversate with people when there are things that we want. But then we find these ways to go, "Oh, we don't owe you this. We don't have to do this. You should find this on your own." That's not communication. Communication isn't just I let you know. Communication is I let you know and I made sure that you were aware of
027how we're communicating. That's communication. If not, we're just talking and putting notices up. And email is not communication. Letting people know that there's no promise isn't communication. How are we communicating with people so they understand how things are moving forward? Because as you said, before things moved one way, now they're moving a different way. That requires communication to let people know that we're doing things a different way. So they have some kind of trust in us as an organization. [Applause] Amen. Okay. Okay. So, next topic, Dr. Lawrence. So if we are our next meeting is not until the 11th or the 12th and I'm trying to remember the resolution that we passed that's for teachers can start. How does that work? Teachers and transportation. Okay. Yeah. Teachers and transportation. Okay. That is all that I
028have. Are there any other questions? Madam treasure. May we have a vote? President Goodwin. Yes, Dr. Bailey. Yes, Mr. Lacy. Yes, Mr. Smith. Yes, Mr. Walker. Yes, Miss Wick. Yes, six. Yeses. Uh, Madam Superintendent, I mean, Madam Madam President, that slipped out. Uh, recommendation to approve uh the July 10th after u July 10th resignations. So, move. Second. Moved by Mr. Walker, second by Mr. Lacy. Any questions on the motion? Seeing none, may we have a vote? President Goodwin, no. Dr. Bailey, no. Mr. Lacy, no. Mr. Smith, yes. Mr. Walker, yes. Miss Wick, no. Four. No. Two yeses. That's the first. Your next recommendation. I'd like the board to just take a look at the budget information before we move to uh recommendations for resolutions. Are there any questions on the budget information? Your next recommendation.
029I recommend the approval of extended pay option for a vote, please. Uh is there a motion? So move. Second. Moved by Miss Wick, second by Dr. B. Are there any questions on the motion? Yes. Go ahead, Mr. Mr. Smith. All right. So, with this, I have a few questions. So, first off, with the extended time assignments, are we open to allowing staff the latitude to create with communication um things that are outside of this board of eligible options that they were given. Dr. Lawrence, we have to, Mr. Smith, we have to have some type of um framework in order to be able to make sure that the treasur's office can pay all the individuals who are currently taking advantage of the extended pay and there's quite a few hundreds and so we have to have
030some type of framework. Today is Wednesday. We've already backdated several people to be paid as of Monday. So, they're boarded as ineligible for pay as of Monday. and we spent um spent a lot of time with operations and our and our academic team putting together what we thought was a comprehensive framework to provide uh supplemental supports for all the staff who are eligible. Okay. So to follow that up then if I am a teacher and I have a couple of teacher friends how am I looking at things that they could do that in my mind count as development? Like for one like if I'm in a building and I go in and I sit with my my fellow teachers and discuss goals and and things that we want to accomplish this year. we work on
031how we're going to set up some rooms. If we work on some of our strengths and weaknesses with each other, because I think while I do like that people can come in earlier than they would, I think part of that is something that we should have already done before is that people need to know each other. People need to be able to trust each other. People need to be able to share their fears coming into a new school year, especially a school year now where we've created a a knot to their morale anyway. So there's things that to me I wouldn't want to just be stuck to a list of things that we're just throwing out the week before people are to make a decision on if they're going to do this. I think it
032to me it goes back to how we build the culture around here. And if we are to say that in the the the letter that went out, it said that our staff's collaboration is important to us, but that can't be true if we're asking for collaboration after the fact. So, are we letting people in the buildings? Are we allowing principles in the buildings to say, "I have these people in the buildings. I don't need you to check and see what they're doing all day. Just know that we're working on making sure that we inspire, educate, empower our children. I think when we try to to to pigeon hole what the learning is just because we came and saw that there was some push back to something because it's not as if the extended day piece
033was initially offered as what was going to go on. It was a a moving piece of okay, yes, this this created a disruption. let's try to create something else that helps through this disruption. And then after seeing that, then people are saying, "Okay, now I'm essentially doing busy work to try to get a check," which I understand. How are we now being able to pivot to say, "Yes, we want people to be able to have this opportunity, but how are we doing it in a way which actually is fruitful for the education of our children?" Because if people are just sitting on a computer doing these modules just to get a check, is that the best outcome for our children? Speak that. So, um I just want to address this situation because there are some
034um there is some busy work that does have to be done. So there are some mandatory modules that we do have to complete for our district 11 in compliance but um like the message said we do want to be very collaborative. So there w it was communicated. If you have other things that you think um would be important to your role and responsibility, that is something that you can do as long as you have evidence um that this is happening. And if you need support identifying that, you can work with your principal. You can email me. Many people have emailed me. I am responding in real time. Um, from the time this happened, the team has been working to give people ideas, but we are open to their ideas as well. Um, planning, getting their
035rooms ready. Every building, um, because of our extensive summer program is not available at this time. And so, because of that, we've even offered, hey, you might want to collaborate at the library. um we don't want to put undue pressure on our principles to come up with things. So we are allowing them to come up with their own ideas and they have come up with some really good ideas. Um so we are working to be as collaborative as possible and turn this into a positive um because it was something that came up very quickly upon us. So can go ahead. Can I ask people can do the modules at home, right? Yes. Okay. So it doesn't require them going into the building to complete the work. They can even do zooms at home and team
036meetings and things like that. Excuse me, I have the floor, but thank you. So yes, if we are allowing them to do modules and then it's this is what we're voting to approve today is extended pay on top of the current contract because in the past this district financially has taken losses when individuals got prepaid for work and left the district and then at the end of when they're leaving they end up owing money and then it looks bad on scene. Yes. Okay. I just wanted to be clear of why we were doing this now to correct what was done in the past. Okay. I and I get that to that point. What we cannot do is sit and say we will correct things at the expense of people who did not make the problem
037in the first place. Right. Like that's like that that's but let's let's board member Smith and Bo. So you stay on business. I am. I am. So that is my piece. I'm just saying that because we're trying to be clear. Excuse me. We're still in the meeting, but that's not being totally clear. We're saying we have an issue that we need to fix. So to fix it, we will do what we need to do. Oh yeah. It affects you more than it affects us. But the collaboration isn't there in the initial stages. It's there after we decide that this is what we're going to do and now we're going to collaborate. I do appreciate the ability for people to have that. And that's what I wanted to ask is so people who are out there
038trying to figure out what's going on can can have a better sense of their options. And so I get that we're talking about what we need to do, but if we're being honest, this is not something that we have been forced to do. It's not something we're being forced to do. It's not something that the state is saying, you must change this right now. It's nothing that is in the like of that. This is us doing this. Even our we can ask our treasurer if we needed to do this at an immediate time. I get that we can say that there's never a right time to do things, but there are wrong times to do things. And so that is what I'm saying is if we're going to be in the wrong on that, how
039do we make sure that we have more right than wrong in the outcome of it? So I do like that that was out and I would ask Dr. Lawrence if we can put something out there, maybe even an example to our staff to say here are some of the other things you can do and this is what the documentation looks like. I don't want us to sit here and just stonewall it and say about all the the the losses that this district has taken because of these the way that our pay was set up if we're not also looking at the losses that our children and families take when qualified individuals no longer feel like we care about them and they are no longer here because you cannot equate the money and the education every
040time. We know that we take financial losses on things but yet we'll pay for certain things. So we can't do that piece. I think that is why I'm asking if we can put out more information about what people can do. There is a loss to people. There is a lack of trust. There is a shock to morale. How can we help people through this and not just say there are some things you can do. There's collaboration we can do because we've already shown that we're not collaborating. The only way to change perception is to change the behaviors. And so, Dr. Lawrence, could you please send out as soon as possible more things that people could do? And then also on that, is there a cap to the hours that someone could earn in the day
041and the week? Could you explain that more for people who may not know? We'll send what we've already sent with those details that was embedded in the first um first communication. Also in the very first communication and maybe right after the first paragraph it gives where you can email phone call that you can also if you don't get a response you can email myself or Dr. Jones. So that's at the very top of that communication we'll resend it and embedded in there the chief academic officer has pages and pages and pages of options. So we have no problems resending that. All right. Lastly, I think, unless something pops up in my brain, with people in their insurance, what does that look like for those who would not be getting a full check as they would
042have been expecting or assuming? What does that look like for the things that we would have taken out of that check? Um, I guess that is probably for Madame Treasurer or Mr. Superintendent. Uh that's a pay issue. So I would defer to the treasurer. Madame treasurer. Okay. Um we are shifting the pay. Since we are shifting the pay, it's not going to affect because you will have 26 pay and you will pay for those 26 starting 20 um August 29. And the last deduction for that will be you know uh August of uh 14 202 26. Okay. [Music] Excuse me. Excuse me. So, Madame Treasur, you're saying that on August 15th, there will be no insurance payments due by anyone who would not be getting a check. It was due for the 15, but since
043we shifting it, we are trying to analyze, we're shifting it to 29. And for fiscal year 2026, we will have 26 base. and the deduction is going to be 26 pays. We haven't analyzed it yet, but that's what I think it's going to happen. So, can I can I ask just a just a clarifying madam treasur? So, people still will get 26 pay if they opt in for 26 pay? Yes. Okay. Yes. Thank you. All right. Are we done? So, excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me. It's not question time, unfortunately. Excuse me. Um, so in if that is the case, then I appreciate I appreciate your office and the work that I know that you guys will do in that space. Mr. I appreciate you, Mr. Riley. Because uh um when you sign up for
044your benefits, they are on a calendar year and they are scheduled to come out over 26 payments. Okay. um when you work on the when you get paid on the 25 on the 15th because the uh benefits are scheduled to come out over 26 pays on a calendar year, not a fiscal year. Uh the health insurance, vision insurance, um life insurance, all of those will have to come out on the check on the 15th. No, no. was a 15. So, so you're saying, let me try to figure this out because it's the way it's signed up, those come out on the 15th. Yes. So then what will come out on the 29th? So the the benefits will have to come out as scheduled. So they're scheduled to come out on the 1st, 15th, and the
04529th. The benefits will have to continue to come out on that schedule. So then we're saying that people will not have but their the benefits that come out are going to be the same as they come out every time they come out. Correct. Yes. But their pay is going to be lower than what they assume. So, their pay was always going to be for 7 days, not for 10 days because it was for the seven days that are being offered. Okay. Um, and everything that comes out of that check is still going to have to come out of that check. Taxes. All right. Serves includes benefits. Okay. So, excuse me. Excuse me. I Excuse me. Excuse me. I'm just I really can't appreciate you guys though. I really do truly appreciate you guys. But so
046that is something that no matter what you're saying would have been the case. Yes. Okay. That that has to be the case given that the benefits are on a calendar year and scheduled over 26 pays on a calendar year um and not lined up on a fiscal year with our pay with our paychecks. Okay. I appreciate that, Mr. Ryland. Okay. Appreciate you. Cool. David, what it is is what I'm saying is we can we can skip that one and still they pay 26 pay by the end of December because it is on a calendar year and the next calendar year is going to be 26 May. So what I'm saying is we only shifting that one. Yes, we will be we will we are shifting the um the the 15th check. the deductions will have
047to still come out if let's we can we can we do have to do some further analysis on it but I think we will do the analysis and we'll come back because I don't agree with that. All right. So h all right, I would ask for Madam Chair and your team to also kind of get together, see what can be done and communicate that out to our staff as well. That would be my ask if possible. Appreciate you giving that information that you have at this point, but I do think um if there's more that can be done, if there's more that we can collaborate on with that, uh please do so. So, I'm willing to try to get as much clarity around these things as possible. I think that's what we need at this
048point. Um, so I appreciate that. And with that, I do not think I have anything else on it. Madam Treasure, similar to what we did last year in January where we took the cost of it as a board. Can you guys look into that piece for us? I don't need to answer that. Yes. Yes. Yes. What we did last January would Yes. If they have to pay the if the payment has to come out on the 15th, I I will come back to the board and ask you to authorize for that pay. All right. Any other questions? Seeing none, then we have a vote. President Goodwin, yes. Dr. Mr. Bailey. Yes. Mr. Lacy. Yes. Mr. Smith. Yes. Uh Mr. Walker. Yes. Miss Wick. Yes. Six. Yeses. Your next recommendation. Uh my final recommendation. Uh President
049Goodwin is a resolution to approve the assignment of assistant principles. So move. Second. Who seconded it? Dr. Bailey. Who seconded it? Dr. Bailey. Who moved it? Awesome. You don't get paid. Thank you, Mr. Walker. Yes. Who moved it? I moved it. Okay, just follow one sec. [Music] work. What happens to my insurance? Go to work. Just go to work. I don't understand. Like I don't understand why people don't want to go to work. I just really don't get it. Don't get it. Don't get it. All right, Madam Treasure. May we have a vote? It's Dr. Goodwin. Yes. Dr. Bailey. Yes. Mr. Lacy. Yes. Mr. Smith. Yes. Mr. Walker. Yes. Miss Wick. Yes. Motion to six. Yes. Uh Dr. Lawrence did want to speak say something about Gohead. Dr. Uh thank you Dr. Goodwine. I would
050like to go on the record as saying that uh this is a board that approved almost $8 million for renovation of a transportation center. This is a board who's added air conditioning and backup cameras to buses. Uh this is a board who's extended the pair of professionals hours um to eight guaranteed. Uh this is a board who among our collective bargaining units um as Neil Mahoney mentioned uh this is a board that rapidly approved the contract for raises for them in both years uh 3% and 3% which are beyond market rate in this region. Uh this is a board that consistently looks out for uh those 11 now soon to be 12 bargaining units. Um and it's a board that through the recommendations from the business manager Dr. Marvin Jones, the treasurer, Dr. H Iberhigh
051myself um consistently approves um things such as this supplemental pay that we're doing right now. This means that staff are going to earn additional income this year. And there was also a ask by the president to look into possibly um renumeration for the insurance and benefits which we've done before u for staff to the tune of almost $800,000. So, this is a team uh the board, the treasurer, the superintendent, business manager who consistently work to support all employees. Um, and we'd like to say that I'd like to say that, um, this is a complex moment. Uh, we will not get every single piece of this right. Uh, but we are nimble enough to make changes and and make moves to support the 2500 employees in Dayton public schools. Thank you, Madam President. Motion to adjurnn.
052Second move by Mr. Walker, second by Dr. Goodwin. President Goodwin. Yes. Dr. Bailey. Yes. Mr. Lacy. Yes. Mr. Smith. Yep. Mr. Walker. Yes. Miss Wick. Yes. Six. Yeses. Thank you.
