002she important charity Adams was the first African-American female to lead her Battalion in World War II that was very rare at that time so she was a phenomenal leader what do students learn about charity Adams in your building um so my students learned that charity one as I stated was a leader she fought for um equal rights and she was just a Trailblazer so students learn how to lead how to um Empower themselves how to speak up for what is wrong and um we are strong Believers in Sisterhood at charity as a principal how do you try to carry on Charity's Legacy so um we try to carry on charity Legacy um one by empowering the our young ladies cultivating their unique potential having making sure that they know they have a voice and um
003to speak up when they see that things are not right and they um to be activist how do you celebrate charity Adams during black history month after your building so um this year with the movie Tyler prair created coming out we're celebrating her by doing a tribute a special tribute to charity Adams so it's going to be really awesome um so the young ladies will do skit from the movie so we're really excited it'll be um next Friday February 28th watch the students attend charity Adams early girls Academy students should attend charity Adams early Academy for Girls because it's a phenomenal school um it's an all girl school and again as I stated we're about Sisterhood empowerment and just creating that environment where our young ladies are thinking about careers that haven't existed yet so

009them and their health and their welfare I think they're going to take home that it is okay to take care of yourself and we have to take care of ourselves before we can take care of others ways that they can take care of themselves and ways that they can take care of their families everyone's saying how wonderful this has been the kids are having a ball their faces are painted they have great prizes they're getting lots of good information we had massage therapists come in I've had multiple people say I got a chair massage and I feel so good right now hi I'm Katie Philpot preschool intervention specialist at Rosa Park Early Learning Center my position is to educate all preschoolers who come through our doors into our classroom and service students on an IEP
010individualized 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 that'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 going to 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 prechool program for
011families 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 Bolton boards with the 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 hi everyone today I'm going to talk to you about bus safety every day thousands of day and public school students ride the bus 2 in from school and it's important to know how to stay safe first things first make sure to get to your bus stop at least 10 minutes early
012and while you're waiting stand in a safe spot away from the road once the bus arrives go straight to your seat so the bus can start moving again and remember while you're on the bus stay seated and keep the aisles and exits clear just like in a classroom listen to the driver and follow their instructions this includes no foul language no sticking your arms or head out the windows and no eating or drinking on the bus lastly make sure you only get off the bus at your assign stop and be sure to walk home safely let's all work together to follow these rules and keep our bus ride safe for everyone thanks for listening and stay safe DPS So today we're having an all city arts festival and we have lots of music today we
013have combined all of our schools together to make music performances all day today we have choirs we have bands we have orchestras and we're all here to celebrate music in Dayton public schools a lot of these students uh come from schools where where maybe their Ensemble their band or their choir is really really small and so it's scary to come out and perform in front of people anyway and especially when you're used to just a little small group in your classroom but they've been doing a great job I think it's a great experience for them because we all know as adults that we have to go and do some things that maybe aren't in our comfort zones but with this group of people their peers they feel a little bit safer and hopefully after this
014experience it'll kind of feed a fire and they'll want to do it more and [Music] more really music can tap into that creativity that a lot of kids just naturally have but seems to dissipate often as they get older so we're tapping into that creativity giv them that self-expression so for a lot of our kids this is their first opportunity to get up in front of people especially in a venue this big seeing that big smiles on their faces especially at the end when they're coming off the stage excitements and you know this is a good opportunity for them to perform and show off for their families their teachers their uh classmates and Greater dayon Community I think Dayton public schools has a huge amount of talent in our district and we're happy to be

019make sure our community is able to also see some of the ideas or kind of the recommendations that are being brought before us for the next fiscal year so Dr Lawrence I believe we have one from you and Dr Jones we have one from you this week well Dr Jones do you like to go first or would you like us to go first ladies first ladies first say less our Dynamite say less I got I got the message uh our Dynamite Chief academic officer is on her way up uh Miss Aisha sheii uh and she is coming up for our departmental budget presentation three-time momentum Award winner come on up good evening good evening um thank you for having me um I am going to go over our curriculum instruction budget um for the upcoming
020year and um review our current year all right so um for the funding year 26 in our department um our department is kind of massive um but for this overview we are just looking at um the curriculum budget um we are not looking at the El budget um the gifted or mtss this one just encompasses instruction and professional development so for um this department we have um 12.5 FTE fulltime that we're requesting um our total salary is 1.4 million and um total non-payroll is 7.3 million our approved budget for the current year we have 15.5 full-time staff members at um 1.7 million and the non-pay row is 3.7 so our we've decreased our fulltime staff um which takes our salary down $325,900 increased by 3.5 million um so this just details our staffing um again
021we are going from 15.5 to 2.5 and we are decreasing our FTE by three and decreasing our payroll by $325,900 breakdown of our FTE so um our non-payroll request for this year in purchase Services we requested 1.7 million supplies 1.9 Capital outlay $ 34,653 73 for a total of$ 3.7 million in um non payroll our request for the upcoming year um the major area is supplies that has increased um as well as capital outlay so supplies what has happened historically is that um many of our resources have been put on payment plans um and so over the last two years we've been getting through payment plans um and we've had a talk with budget about how those contracts happen we've been getting into six-year contracts um three foure contracts um and so this year we
022finally kind of cleaned it up and entered into one-year contracts um at the most two years asking them to break those contracts up into two um but because of that the amount that we're paying is is more um and then our Capital lay we outlay we've asked for um 2 million because our Challenger Center um we are at the 30-year anniversary right now and it has not had any updates or any upgrades um and so we are working with the national Challenger Center um on a plan to um upgrade our Challenger Center we also have um some repairs that need to happen at in our choir rooms at Styers um which is about $225,000 um so that um that's the reason that we're asking for an increase in our budget um also with supplies this
023year um we've really increased our advanced placement um our high quality instructional materials and our professional development um if any of you were at our professional development yesterday uh you can see it's very comprehensive um so that we are providing the professional development needed to um implement the high quality instructional materials and again the Challenger Center request so um the department impact um we again enhance highquality materials and instructional practices for better outcomes strengthening all of our departments mtss elel gifted Services um so that we provide personalized learning when all means all and also um if you saw on one of the slides we have decreased our spending in services to other people and really invested in our own people and what we I mean we are working to make sure that that type of
024coaching and investment in people and not things um gives us a return and boost our retention and our impact on student learning any questions thank you open up the the floor go ahead Mr walk so question for me so in on one with regards to staff so you're looking to decrease it by three are these currently full-time individuals or are these positions that have not been filled all year well um lucky for us we will still have people on staff but we were able to move it from General funding until federal funds so a lot of our people are dual funded because of um the professional development that we provide and those things so we're able to use um funding from um title okay that didn't answer my question as far as you're at 15
025now and you're going to 12 is that under that one general fund are these Grant funded positions and are these people that have jobs currently they are people that have jobs currently we will not be actually losing the people the funding so this is only for general fund those individuals will be funded out of federal funds okay how how how confident in you well I don't want to ask that just looking at where we are nationally with federal funds I mean so that that's another conversation for later my next question would be so currently your budget is 3.7 million and you want to increase that to 7.3 million I'm asking for 3 million increase because the Challenger Center will be over $2 million and that's already been out for bid and that is that's what
026come back well it's we'll be working with them but this is something that only the Challenger Center can do it's a national Center and all of the specs it's a it'll be a single Source um but all of the specs our people will do some of the work um but it's a national program and that building is it has to be done the way that the national Center says it has to be done okay I guess I'm confused on where did the like did they send you a bid that said this is what they're going to pay for and then out of what you just said if this is going to cost 2.1 million for the Challenger Center what of that will be in-house staff doing the work on and things like so they send
027you a proposal because they have these centers all over the nation so they send you the proposal and tell you what the build out is and then they work with our staff to say these are pieces that you guys can manage and then these are things that we have to do all right thank you Mr L did you something okay yeah um okay so this is is um um instruction and and curriculum the department but I I it's really is it really more or less like two departments one that that administrates administers instruction for Dayton public schools and pretty much affects all the schools yes and then there's the Challenger Center is that pretty much are there any other like little departments that have were put under you guys that they have that pretty much
028it yes they have separate budgets so in this budget the Challenger Center is in there and professional development and so the professional development department is for the entire District right so we not only um do the professional development for academics we do professional development for the entire district and high quality materials are for the entire department and uh um so how so how many people of the of the total are the Challenger Center three three full-time people yes and so it is a different line do is it a different line item in the budget the Challenger Center or is it just under high quality huh it's with it's just with them could we have a separate line item in the future we can we can I appreciate that um okay and and yeah that that's
029pretty much it all right Mr what thank you thank you for your presentation always appreciate this degree of information so that the community and everyone understands how we spend our money in these important places I do understand administration's um investment in people um and people are I think what make the work exciting so looking forward to seeing what that impact creates over the next year or two and certainly hope that our staff understands that these additional professional developments and the work that they're the opportunities they're being given given as a result of like making the work more exciting making them better so I really appreciate that you mentioned that um two things first of all that we had decreased spending in other areas for the investment in people and I'd like to see a little
030more reflection on that not right now but I would like to hear about that a little more and around the Challenger Center I think the board has talked in the past about the fact that the Challenger Center is a rich opportunity for not just Kaiser but for our entire community and in that regard and especially given that the building uh where it's currently situated is at High um capacity that we really begin to intentionally talk about that work of putting that in a different facility so that it's more accessible for our entire community and not just EPS but regionally you mentioned that this is a national Center and organization that that there is probably a lot of Grant a lot of funding around there that we could potentially relocate that and make that just a
031different space for our and grow it uh really to the degree that it needs to be grown too so um we hope the board can jump into some of that work while we look at you know minimizing investment this year and maximizing where we're going next year and those sorts of things as we're planning so thank you I appreciate you thank you Mr Smith um now um Mr Lacy hit on the first part I was going to ask about is creating a separate line item if we're going to put this kind of investment that way we can really track what this is looking like and I would love to see just not only just a presentation on what the uh proposed changes but just letting the community know more about the Challenger Center bringing something
032talks about its history uh its current use that kind of data and I think it helps us and it helps you know the the minds around here dive into how can we maximize the return on the investment putting it in there I think that'll be the huge thing is how do we make this a space where now we can see all right we put this here because we're getting this back we're putting this here to do this so I I would love to see that and look forward to it thank you for your your uh report thank you appreciate look forward to that thank you couple questions for you on the supplies part you have an estimative how many of that of that supplies is actual physical books because we have a warehouse full of
033books that we keep purchasing that just keep stacking up that go unused and I'm hoping that at this point in life that we can find a way to stop purchasing books that don't actually get utilized since utilizing a physical book is no longer the way that people take in information so um one of our focuses this year was really around implementation um making sure that we have the right resources for students and making sure that teachers are using those resources and understanding how to use the resources um a lot of those books now they are consumables so students have something in hand the resources are there so we can stop printing um papers and students can write um and they are again consumables and we know that there has been times um because we've gone
034through the book rooms that people are not using them but this year our focus is that we are because we want the instruction to be Equitable across the board and we want all of our students to use those materials so yes that's what we are working on to eliminate the waste so great go what are we going to do with the existing materials because we have a ton in our warehouse right now that looks unopen that and second question follow up to that have you guys looked in if there's a way that we can either repurpose those to some other places that can utilize them since they're kind of out of our curriculum places pieces of them but something so that they just don't keep taking up space in our storage that's what we're working
035on those resources that um are outdated um how we can try to get some money for those that's an idea that we're working on right now our book room supervisor can you guys in addition to getting money can we also look into some of the after school programs that we work with if they're like if I don't know how relevant the stuff is in those books and that piece of it but if there are opportunities to utilize those not only with the things that we do but surrounding places that may need them because if it's an opportunity for someone to learn with it I think it's better served than sitting in our warehouse in that piece of it so if you could look into that piece of it and kind of just get back on
036the timeline so we can free up that space in our warehouse because we have a ton of stuff that we like the store that's our thing that would be really good can you talk to me a little bit about the capital outlay just break that down for us in addition to the Challenger Center because I know that's one piece of it but what else do we have yes so um there are some choir rooms that are needing upgrades at sters so paneling and those type of things um and the quote is about $225,000 I think it's two rooms right now um that have kind of been neglected that are ready for upgrades okay in the Professional Services is that where we're putting professional development um Professional Services would include things like um you know we
037spent we after covid we invested a lot of money into computer programs that do instruction um and we're trying to peel some of that back and provide instruction from from our teachers so some of those that is in that line and we spend a lot of money on that okay so where is professional development which line would that be in um professional development actually comes under the non I mean the payroll part stiens um and those things come there Professional Services in that line would mean people that we're Contracting with um so for instance yesterday with professional development contractors that we would come have come in would be under those Professional Services as well um but the stiens and the paying for if our teachers went traveling or um we had somebody come in would
038be a contractor which would be under Professional Services can you tell me cuz I just want to know what type of feedback I know this is the first year we've had so many professional development days I've heard mixed feed feedback on it depending on where you are in the district but I am interested in kind of what you guys are hearing from your side and you are seeing from the first year of investment cuz how many more days do you guys have in this year for professional development one so it was how many were was it this year we had a total of 10 so 10 so we've done nine so far so of the nine that we've done what type of feedback from not just the teachers but throughout the administrators the operations team
039the drivers like what what are you hearing about about if it's been beneficial if they would have seen something different if it's a good investment for us just kind of a little bit of that um so I think overwhelmingly people are happy to have time to collaborate with one another um I think also people appreciate the investment um because I was just talking to someone we had a teacher um he was a first year teacher um and after his first year he left and he just recently rejoined us and he was in a math professional development yesterday and said if I would have had this type of support I wouldn't have left the first time um so I think people are really appreciating that we are valuing them um now there are some people that
040think you know I you know the time I could have used it doing other things um but overwhelmingly people are really responding to the investment the time the collaboration um the intentionality yesterday I was totally and I tell my team this all the time um it's we don't want to just satisfy we want to impress and I was thoroughly impressed yesterday with the services and the supports that we provided to our pair of professionals it has never been as robust as it was the options the availability again the intentionality to support them in the work that they're doing um something that they can take away immediately and put into effect and it was across the board I mean it was is it was impressive um and so we do have every time that we give
041a professional development we get feedback and so we can share that information um but yeah overwhelmingly it's been positive okay can I just have asked to have a breakout of how much we've invested in professional development and if you guys either by survey or any other method you can see how much individuals themself have invested outside of you guys in their own development which this is a foreign concept for me for organ a to invest in your professional development so I am interested to see what we're putting in it and if we can ascertain any information of what people are putting into themselves too yes and I and another thing that's um really um been positive is that on the services as you can see we went down because we're using our internal um experts
042to work with one another to share their expertise and again um they feel value in that as well okay thank you mad president Mr Walker Mr Dr Bailey Mr so my so for me the title it says curriculum instruction and assessment office but I do not see anything regarding assessment in the presentation so is that a separate budget that will come later got it thank you Dr B my question I want to rewind with the materials that's going to be used now how are you going to hold the uh teachers accountable for using that because if they wasn't accountable for you before how are you going to do it this time so um we now we have um walkthroughs that we do in every building um we're in buildings constantly supporting teachers in the implementation
043and the usage of materials and not just materials but instructional practices um just today we had um our for our K8 we use um a particular um curriculum and we had those people in buildings today coaching and following up with our teachers um we go in to make sure that the resources are being used if they're not being used we have coaching conversations with the leadership of the building we have coaching conversations with the teachers to figure out why the why because it is our expectation that it is used because it is high quality quity instructional materials not just because the state says we have to because it's what's best for our children um and I would love for you guys to go in and see what it looks like what it sounds like what
044it feels like um because if you do you will understand how passionate we are about all meaning all like we're not opting out nobody gets to opt out of that and so that is what we do every day um and it's it's really important thank you Mr L and um like and learning software is that under here also it is and there's are there any major changes as far as learning software we just going with the same flow um well again we've kind of pulled back on a lot of it um pulling back on learning software and teaching teachers how to do it because it's it's really um important that we do that so um you know we did have some pull back on some things every year we're kind of um pulling back so
045this year um I mean going into next year one of the one of the big pullbacks will be success maker um because we've talked about it for two years and said hey we we're not getting the bang for our buck there um how do we intervene with our students um and that is a huge investment that we're not getting our bang for our buck for so so going into next year um the renewal of our resources will not include the supplemental success maker and success maker is which which math that's right okay and um it's and we've we've increased enrollment for the past couple of years but the I mean are there other considerations for Trum trying to accommodate increases or do we not in our capital budget or is there is there not is
046that not necessary in the capital budget well in it would be it would all come out of general fund but um in the the capital outlay I guess is the so um like Miss Wick said one of the um things that would be beneficial for the Challenger Center is freeing up Capital space at Kaiser because we have students that are in trailers um so if we could invest in capital for the Challenger Center that would be um a winwin yeah but Capital those projects come out of a different budget so we and and Kaiser's the only place we have trailers or or or what do you what do you call them that's it now I mean because we're growing I mean that's a consideration that you know that we we get more of those things
047or what well there we will be needing space I mean that's that's probably going off into someone else's budget though well I don't know who whose budget you're looking at this is this is curricular should have went first looking at the business man expand the building right okay thank you Mr Smith um so in the same way you talked about looking at getting the bang for our buck when looking at programs like success maker how are we are we also doing the similar thing when we are talking about like professional development working at it understanding that just tailoring it to you know some of the specific needs that we might see depending on what's going on in our communities um cuz I really do appreciate the investment in professional development I truly do and I
048think the the ability to really assess where we are um from an anecdotal standpoint where we are and you know making people feel like they're being respected and built into but then also from a data standpoint like okay how is this moving the needle um you know it might give us some information but then are we what are we doing to ensure that the professional development we did in September is not forgotten by March or the ideas that were brought up at a breakout session in October are you know on the road to being implemented by by Spring like doing those pieces because I think that's the the the fear and not not even a real fear but that is what I would not want to be able to be in that space where you
049know we have this amazing professional development we come up with these outstanding ideas and then it's I'm back to work Monday and I'm back in the grind again um so I think I would love to see I think Dr goodwan had spoke on it like a real deep dive into saying hey these are the professional development pieces we had this is what we've heard from it this is what we're seeing coming out of the data this is what we're seeing from people who may choose to leave or stay so I really think diving in would do a huge service to our staff that is going through that and then hearing from them about you know hey this is something I thought of out of this or this is something that I would want to see
050and even if it's not a districtwide professional development but working in spaces where it's this school needs this this school needs this this grade level inside of this building needs this I think that kind of level to of intentionality would be amazing with that and I know you guys can do it I would just say that the district professional development is about responding to to things that we see as we're in the building Trends District Trends and then building based um they respond at The Building B I mean at the building level so um we have a professional development plan that aligns everything based on our needs and based on the data so we we use data to guide what it is that we do and I would love to have you come to one
051of our meetings and just ask some of those questions and we can share some of those details Mark me down Mark me down all right are there any other questions thank you Miss shei thank you Dr Jones good evening um first I want to thank you for the opportunity to present uh but before I begin the presentation um I want you to know that this does not include our Capital Improvement planning okay that the work that we're doing with Bradley Payne uh we will have more uh information to share at a later date uh tonight uh the presentation will be about it's a comparison between fiscal year 25 allocations and what we are projecting to need in fiscal year 26 um is well in terms of Staffing and um non-payroll items so the first budget
052overview um is distribution and Logistics as you can see our request for FTE is is static uh we requested 10.5 and 25 and we're requesting the same for 26 uh as you can see for non-payroll um we are requesting an increase but I will go over that a little bit later on in the presentation next we have our custodial budget overview um as you can see we are requesting the exact same uh number of Staffing U as fiscal year 25 and there is a request to increase for non-payroll uh items and we'll talk about that a little bit later as you can see I kind of broke it down in different divisions under operations uh the mail and duplication budget uh we have our mailing and dup duplicating um we are requesting an increase here
053um one additional FTE in order to better serve DPS currently uh there's one employee that handles duplication and uh mailing uh the volume of requests has increased uh significantly which is a good thing uh we're communicating more and more with our constituents internal stakeholders extern internal stakeholders uh but uh if and when uh this individual is off from work it it's hard to fulfill uh the volume of requests that come in and so we're uh going to request an additional FTE one for mailing one for distribution and then we'll have some cross trainining that takes place uh just in case um an individual um unfortunately can't make it into work uh but again I we will be more efficient and effective in this department with an additional FTE now for maintenance um you see an
054increase of FTE but this was merely uh the addition of uh the business manager position the associate business manager position uh an executive secretary and then we moved uh one of our custodial uh directors from that budget to maintenance and so that's where the 43 to 47 comes into play okay in terms of grounds uh there is no change in FTE um but there is a slight increase U significant incre increase in uh non-payroll issues or items we'll discuss that here shortly uh for compliance you can see that there is no increase for fds however there is a significant increase uh for non-payroll issues this next slide is merely a depiction of what I shared with you about um our mailing and distribution uh Center okay non-payroll requests uh as you can see uh in
055terms of purchase Services uh there's a decrease from 53,000 to 28,000 uh supplies a decreased from 24,000 to 19 uh there is a significant increase in equipment uh $117,000 um the increase is attributed to the purchase of equipment designed to lift Freight to the mezzanine currently uh we have significant uh safety concerns if you will uh with staff members uh carrying items boxes up steps and so this was a a recommendation from BWC for custodial uh we no longer have preventive maintenance staff or equipment repair and therefore we've been uh relegated to um Contracting out the afores said work um and so that comes at a cost and so that's why you see an increase for purchase services in terms of supplies uh We've open more buildings Transportation Center uh welcome uh Jackson Hyde international
056service is building uh inflationary inflationary cost for chemicals cleaning supplies paper products uh Plastics has has skyrocketed and so that's why we're requesting more funding for uh that okay next slide please oh uh male duplication so equipment and leasing cost have increase uh you know we don't uh own many of the copiers that we have uh the duplicating machines and so we lease those those prices have increased significantly um and again as stated earlier uh the number of mailings uh that go out um on a regular basis have increased as well for maintenance uh there's an inre increase for equipment the cost of products and materials for maintenance have increased in general uh we can give you more more detailed um uh document that uh kind of highlights that so we're asking for more funding
057there uh for grounds there's an increase across three areas uh purchase Services supplies and equipment so rental of equipment to seal asphalt clean out trees and Shrubbery at our buildings uh has increased uh in terms of supplies uh due to the up upkeep of District equipment uh materials for striping Fields fertilization salt and brine U all of these things have gone up tremendously um with equipment if approved uh during the budgeting process uh we're asking for increase so that we can purchase uh street sweeper uh just to make sure that our our curb lines and our uh parking lots and and and streets are clean clean and clear for compliance um I know that's a big number um 6 164,000 so we bid for electrical and sprinkler systems um so there's uh the state requires
058that all schools undergo uh sprinkler and electrical certification if you will uh the last time that this was conducted it was paid for out of uh erer funds um those funds are now gone and so we're asking for an increase there and in terms of dues and fees this increases for the cost of our staff to secure uh the necessary certificates to do their jobs um also our elevator and boiler certificates are required to be inspected annually uh by the state um that comes with the cost as well and so that's why you see an increase for dues and fees Department impact um our mission is to support the student staff and overall community of DPS uh it's absolutely imperative that our buildings and systems are clean safe accommodating and aesthetically appealing to all of
059our constituents and so at this time I'd like to entertain any inquiries you may have thank you any questions he asked for inquiries I'd like to inquire go ahead Mr L oh shoot I forgot what I was going to ask um so uh you want you want a street sweeper what how do you how do you currently clean um parking is it parking lots and Sir so our custodial staff goes out and um sweeps and picks up trash around the uh area along the the street line and Street and sidewalk uh the city maintains that uh but I could see us perhaps um maybe partnering and doing some of that work as well just around the perimeter of the building and at Welcome Stadium do we do that too or what what do we do
060there uh the ud maintains that like they shovel the snow and everything else oh okay we handle the inside of the stadium that's all I have to inquire about right Mr Walk Mr Walker and Dr B so totally you're asking for $1.8 million in an increase in operations budget yes so with that I guess where when we look at for instance let one is still here gendell is still here and nothing is taking place with these buildings so I guess I'm I'm confused on the increase on this side but then the W still happening as far as nothing on these this other that's a great question uh Gardendale we currently have our HVAC team uh utilizing that building uh we also use it to store HVAC materials uh oec items um the partitions that we
061utilize here in this building so we use it for storage but we also have physical people in the building like working in the building HVAC okay yeah and then with the budget as far as the decrease is concerned has is that number reflective on the past 3 years it has constantly went down and you're figuring that this is the perfect time to say this is we're not going to need this much anymore or is it just last year we're looking at now uh last year to now yeah okay uh that's it Dr baby um I'm kind of back on the street sweeper again yes sir one how much does it cost and what why do we really need a street sweeper uh so um it's a great question uh it's something that uh the grounds
062folk uh brought to me and I said that I would I I'll give it a try I I'll ask um we know that it's uh it's a big ask uh but it would help us to uh make sure that that our grounds are are are neat you know um having individuals go out and uh sweep you know and pick up trash I don't know is as efficient as having a a sweeper but so does a sweeper pick up trash I I I mean I'm I'm just asking cuz I mean I've looked at street sweepers and it seems like they just kind of push it to the thing no no they actually have a that's a it's a vacuum in there as well oh okay yeah oh how much do they run do you know uh
063you know what what I can tell you right now you got an operations guy outside the door give me one second look look he can't wait he wait like I know I know come on in come on get it up tell us so uh they write at $350,000 that was when we we last had it um we had looked at purchasing one a couple years ago but due to our finances we didn't we didn't have it at that time so we wanted to put it back on and that just saves us for not just the around the the curves but also in our parking lots so we used one when we went to Welcome Stadium when we had the U uh the state track meet we had to rent one to take care of all
064of that so we wanted to get one for the district and that would just help in any type of situations where we got glass we still have some of the things that we the asphalt and things that are all around so this will help us with with all of that so currently the Grounds Guys and the custodians work together to get it taken care of can suck yes it sucks everything upse and the one that we're looking it also helps us where we don't have to uh trim it it would trim because of the blaze that it has on it it'll trim also so you does this save plus time or something like what's the 300 350,000 investment plus maintenance plus all the other stuff what we saving on our side like we're going to
065save a whole lot of time um that'll save all the time for like right now once everything is done we basically have to go out and physically blow and that's the Grounds Guys they're working um they're walking the whole um whatever property we're at however we did this we will have a ground person go out on the weekends and make sure that all of our grounds are taken care of with the street sweeper and that would just eliminate a lot of any unnecessary walking for the Grounds Guys and all they have to concentrate on is just to to you know the fertilizing the The Cutting and and the shrimping and the the mulching and things of that nature okay so I get the benefits of it what type of time are we saving like is
066this taking me out of overtime cuz you weekends cost us more so no it won't it it wouldn't cost us more cuz right now we would have on overtime we're going to have five to six guys this will only have one guy that would be able to take care of the whole the whole District that's what you start with right there now I'm sold on I mean you start with like you six to one this might make sense now yeah okay so what type of places maintenance this type of vehicle um so basically we would have our transportation guys take care of all of our all of our equip now if it's any type of specialty parts or thing like that we would have to go back to the company to have them maintenance but
067most we had a street sweeper at one time it was just outdated and it stopped sucking up but our maintenance I mean our uh Transportation maintenance guys they actually took care of all the equipment and this one vehicle will be used for all the buildings yes for every building okay good Mr Walker okay so Dr Jones referen potential partnership with the city and supporting how did that work with snow removal in the partnership there oh that was some we we sat down with Mr stoval at the time um and and that came about because what we were having issues with during the snow removal is once our The Grounds Guys plow the city will come and block our driveways with the street so now we we kind of work together where we know when the
068city is coming what they've already done and we also Brian we because they have uh a tier system that they work on and so what they do now they put they put a preference on the Dayton public school buildings so they go around the buildings we also Bry some of their streets so we take care of that's our partnership so I think mine is more so the city is its own government entity so if we're looking at partnership is the city going to pay us to go out and support them in these Street efforts because now we're not looking at just our schools I get doing it as a friendly thing but the city's budget is way higher than ours like uh thank you for that question we're actually working out the details um of
069that uh Dr Lawrence myself uh stoval uh he retired yeah yeah he retired Richie now Richie Tom Richie uh junor uh they were all in the meeting and so uh we have yet to work out the details but we do believe that we'll be able to save some cost such as fuel and uh salt perhaps [Music] okay are there any other questions thank you for the presentation oh you're good as well no yes sir oh you have another question so the business manager side does not have a separate budget It's all under the operation budget so uh Rick has not been feeling well uh he would have been here to you know no I'm not talking about the presentation I'm just talking about like in in general so like we have the superintendent's office budget
070we have the treasurer's office budget we don't have business manager and then I would ask we don't have internal auditor so I would say that the entire operations um from buildings and grounds everything we highlighted today Athletics all falls under the business manager you're not understanding his question he's asking you don't have a breakout for just the business manager Office similar to how the superintendent has a breakout for the superintendent's office treasure has a break for the treasur office the board of education has a breakout for the board that's what he's asking yeah so then Essen so you don't have your own breakout and then I would takeing miss Hamilton doesn't have her own breakout she she has a presentation that's coming up oh okay here we go there speaking for her I I will
071I just didn't see on that monthly I think what Mr Walker is recommending to you is that you give it the treasurer to break pull you out of the maintenance budget the people you put in there and put you guys in a separate thing so we actually can see that breakout of what that is and not it's not time to maintenance but that correct yes makes sense okay appreciate it definitely well thank you for your presentation next up this actually came from a constituent who made a reference that there's a lot of really great programs that happen in the district but unless you are closely connected you don't know about them I talked to Dr Lawrence and his team about giving us just brief highlights of some things that people may want to know about
072Dr Lawrence your first one is mine is on the way up oh says a whole another name there that's okay mhm go ahead Miss Miner floor is yours yes good evening Dr Lawrence Dr goodwine and board members um Mr Simmons is under the weather and Mrs burlock is at a parent meeting so she was here so I'm going to report for them some exciting news so on the elementary side uh we already talked about math Olympics we're all excited about it tomorrow to make sure we're all there in support at Belmont um uh but last Saturday the elementary intermurals of chess and checkers tournament took place at ponents this event that supports our students strategic thinking problem solving skills this year's event was well attended by many families staff and many more competitors there were

077Treasurer Jackson Dickman Jackson Dickman Roy TR [Music] Roy TR jica Hood um good evening um I'm a parent of a child at ponis high school my son is Austin and um he has an IEP which I have had multiple concerns that I was wanting the board to hear at this time um I received a disturbing call from my son's math teacher Miss millerson and she had told me that my son had skipped class for 4 days in a row and so my concern was is where has my child been which in his IEP I am to be contacted if he's absent tardy or has any kind of Behavioral issues just due to past incidents with treny and other matters um I come to find out that my child I send out an email to all
078teachers to say hey are you aware of the situation Miss Hol had called me back to say my child was in her class two of the four days which later found out that he was in her class all 4 days she did not ask him for a pass she did not ask him hey where are you supposed to be third period so in consequence my child is not able to make up that work for 4 days he's been missing in math class there was an incident with Miss H prior to that where I had requested her to communicate with me to come to the IEP meeting because number one she's an intervention specialist I expect those type of teachers to be at IEP meetings she declined refused to call me it got to a point
079where I had to file a complaint because with the state because there was other matters that she didn't want to um handle at that time so for me for a teacher to allow my child with previous attendance issues previous concerns skipped in her classroom for a whole 4 days straight and the only way she said anything is because I sent out an email that is unacceptable then I have his teacher Miss sailor she has reported my child absent 28 reported them I'm sorry tardy 28 times I spoke with the attendance lady I said is these tardies coming from him coming into the building late or is this the teacher saying that he's been late she said the teacher so I've called Miss sailor 48 times in her classroom never picks up the phone send out
080an email never got back with me I had his intervention specialist asked her hey is she out sick do you know where Miss saor might be she said no she's here but I'll let her know because she's the one who's implementing this IEP and making sure that even the general teachers General Ed teachers know what to do and what not to do she told the teacher I'm not thinking about Miss Hood I'm not calling her back I'm a general ed teacher anyway he's only in my class for an elective Excuse Me Miss H that's your time okay I'm ask Dr Lawrence can you follow up hood on issues that are occurring please all right thank you thank you any other speakers Madam Church yes Eric Eric CIA uh Mason CIA I think that's the other
081one she's on another part okay Clon hre okay any other uh Matthew harison Matthew that's it thank you Dr Lawrence that the good one well come on up you you here come on up just tell us your name and address for the record yes my name how y'all doing this evening my name is Harold Sheffield I'm at 4 21 Karo Drive partner C go ahead FL your okay um I got hired on last year March 11th from D public schools for custodial I worked till June 27th due to my kids unexpectedly showing up my 9-year-old and my seven-year-old I I talked to I took my kids with me to go to the Jackson center I talked to Hunter about it Hunter asked me told me to come down here and write a res resonation lat
082letter stating the reasons why I have to be excused from working with dat Public Schools I wrote in the letter that I'm sorry to have to let y'all go but I will be returning when school starts back because my kids will be going back to their mom I put my application in September was last year never heard nothing back so I start working for a company called ESS which is they work I guess through you guys so I have been working with them for like the last let me see since October the 11th of last year all way up to like 3 weeks ago and I was wondering why I wasn't getting sent on assignments uh it was brought to my attention when I called them that they Public Schools no longer needed their assistance
083for substitute custodians so I recently put my application in right before the issue with ESS I put my application in and I went went down I came down to this building and talked to a Kelsey Roberts she told me how to go about it and I did not know at the time that it was called Consortium but I ended what anyway I ended up putting in my application Kelsey Roberts had emailed me and said that he had passed along my application that y'all weren't doing no more substitute Haring that y'all were doing assistant custodio hir I said well please put my application in okay just the other day I called to Jackson center and I talked to a Tiffany and I was asking her you know have youall got my application you know have you
084know why haven't I heard anything and she was very rude and disrespectful to me and I really didn't appreciate that because even though I was working through ESS I have not had no complaints about my work ethnic I've always been there every day on time I work my schedule and I'm trying to figure out why couldn't I get hard back on through dating public schools and I Ain had no complaint for anything about my work ethnic or how I do my job thank you Dr Jones is actually who we're going to have speak with you regarding that one as he is over that department okay thank you Dr Lawrence all right I recommend approval of the following Human Resources 48 48 hour 48 hour waiver vote move is there a second second moveed by Miss
085WI second by Miss Ryder um any questions on the motion this is to add this to the agenda correct correct correct all right may we have mam treasure may we have a vote president goodwi yes Dr Bailey yes Mr Lacy yes Mr Smith yes Mr rot yes Mr Walker yes Miss Weck yes Mr Scott yes ATS your next recommendation I recommend approval of the following 48 hour waiver no you just did that no we need another one for that one no there were two two separate ones okay I got you I got you I recommend approve the following administrative appointments change your classification we on a I'm all drink no no look that's what you g me got you recommend approve the following Human Resources 48 hour change of classification no you're reading the action
086and that's wrong read the Bott it's no 48 hour waer though says it right there I know that's incorrect okay so is there a mo is there a motion his change of classification item a so moved second moved by Miss Wick second by Dr Bailey are there any questions yes uh go Mr Smith walk first first walk might be the same question how how does this affect current staff that is working in what was the manager role at first that is now a generalist role with regards to their benefits and things like that because they were on the administrative side already and this will place them now on the DSs side which I believe is a different benefits classification evening we didn't decide to make this change and we have to rify that there are
087no uh people in the manager position so we're essentially moving just the position uh just the position and no people that are in that position so that position is vacant right now so we're kind of abolishing it off the administrative pay scale and moving it as a salary DSS position the money matches so it was our it was the closest position that we could move to that salaried role so the manager position is vacant but we have confidential support managers that are classified as a manager and gets paid as the manager rate I'm not sure I just know that before the the decision was made to move then we we made sure that there were no POS no people in that position okay so can I ask treasury um Andrew or the treasurer what is
088how is confidential support manager like what is that role on the salary schedule is the salary schedule on that one is 68,000 I think for the managers so the same as this generalist one yeah so they are working as confidential support managers are managers on the admin side so that goes back to my original question of there are people working in this role so how is this going to be different with those individuals how will they be affected on their benefit side and everything like that because they are on the admin side currently uh we as the treasurer or anybody in that manager role in our review session two or three weeks ago and the answer was no there any are there any human beings in that manager's role so we getting conflicting information on
089that one um so can um I say can we in business plus is there someone in that manager in a manager role there there's the confidential support managers are tied to the manager salary schedule it looks like um like that bag of like pay scale for the new ones you can you like just do you just do like another position just like do a motion for like another new generalist position under the DSs that the same I got another one miss wi can I can I ask for a friendly amendment to your motion to amend it to not impact the two confidential managers in those positions yes you accept my friendly amendment is it you I thought it was more than two that's working as confidential support managers though that's what you guys just said
090so that's why I said two how many is it Miss Wick I'll just change M to a friendly amendment to any of the confidential managers as of today sounds perfect thank I have three right now like in the system as of like February um um I mean I can pay in check like the system currently but there's three that I'm seeing all right go ahead Mr Smith all right um if you could for anybody what is the rationale for changing it what are we expecting to see out of the change and what necessitates it currently um DSS roles in the department we need them to work over a lot so they're getting anywhere from10 to $12,000 or more per year on their salary for that overtime piece this would allow us to have them with
091being salaried employees work those extended hours if we need them and not have to nickel and dime us on the um overtime part of it in addition when I first started um those hrpy positions we had to pay pay um had to pay overtime because everyone who left says that hey you owe me for all the additional hours that I've worked so in almost every case when someone's left we had to turn around and pay them I think you both are missing the key thing from the agenda setting that we had there where you discussed that you're trying to get out of giving individuals administrator titles that have no supervisory roles so that piece is a big piece that you you both forgot to say appreciate it thank you you're welcome any other questions all
092right go ahead Mr M treasure may we have a vote president Goodway yes Dr Bailey yes Mr lazy yes Mr Smith yes Miss rard yes Mr Walker no Miss Wick yes Mr Scott yes seven years say one I recommend approval of the following administrative appointments so move second mooved by Mr Walker second by Dr Bailey are there any question yes go ahead Mr Smith I would just asked if we could move B4 and B5 until after executive session those two okay those two are pulled any other questions Mr Walk not answer the questions um just to reiterate to my colleagues and the superintendent I did send an email requesting an independent investigation into the human resources department with regards to turnover um in my email I outlined since January I'm sorry June or July of
093last year just a turnover from this one department and it seems that it it just continues to happen and it's not being addressed um so just putting that out there a will note to that Mr Walker this is my fourth year on the board and this is our fourth human resource director so the turnover here not this much went back and checked off four years yeah but I was reclaiming my time on what I said geta I do and I just did like I said this is the fourth year and I don't think if any if the board wants to do that we will vote on making that happen if there we get your ALG lies after that piece if someone wants to make a motion on Mr so be it are there any other

100of the seven days are a half day that are on the calendar is she is or is it one half day or is it seven that was six and a half and yeah six and a half which one's the half day and a which day is the half daycation half day is um to be used for public school works gave time to the teachers from their PD time to complete Public School Works mod question for can you come to the mic Mr Mr Paul yelled at me earlier about that he going to get on me again and I will ask you too because I know one of the things that I get are the complaints I hear is after convocations a lot of the teachers kind of like that time to get their class set
101up did you guys consider that in this schedule evening um could you ask her a question again Dr first one is what which day is the half day and then the second question is one of the complaints that I heard over the last year was that teachers felt as if they couldn't get their they lost time of setting up their classrooms because we have I guess some type of instructional things happening so did you guys consider that for them this year they have the same time this year that they've had for decades they have a designated teacher work day okay that is completely uninterrupted prior to the first day of school okay and then the half day which one is the half I believe it's convocation day I wasn't prepared to come up yeah August
1028th is the Public Works day whatever convocation is convocation is August 6 you like whatever dat is I don't have it I wasn't prepared to come up here and talk about that sorry so August 6 says convocation building PD day August 7 says District PD day August 8th says building PD day SLU Works day there it is and then there that day is the day in which they will have uninterrupted time to complete their Public School Works modules which we've not done that before okay are there any other questions while we got she dly up here I don't know if it's too early to ask on convocation I know a lot of Staff would like for the cookout to return because that was a time for them to engage with their colleagues I don't know
103if that can be looked at this early in the year for the upcoming year convocation committee is already meeting and we um we'll send out where we are in terms of some of the things we've talked about all right I apologize I wasn't prepared to speak about the calendar always I was the design we good Mr appreciate Chief d um Dr Lawrence with the calendar I know that um it was a cause of a little consternation last year um with the development of the calendar have you been having those conversations that were requested of last year yes Mr Smith so the professional development days kind of inter kind of intersect with the calendar itself so as they discuss the the professional development days they also discuss the calendar so the date and education Association has
104also seen the district calendar communication and collaboration part of the five Cs is right there in fact it's in red right there that's all thank you man' no problem any other questions all right your next recommendation uh we've sent the course of study catalog uh via the superintendent update but here it is live on boards for the rest of the public to see and we do have a few additional um revisions but this is um this is where we are at this point all right are there any comments or questions on the course of studies go ahead B I got a t I just want see you go ahead got a the floor is yours goad sure all right go ahead um I appreciate putting this thing out um I think it's very very good
105to be able to see what are some of the things offered um some of the things that are new I will say from me as a parent and board perspective I would love to see this intentionality with finding space for programming at schools that currently and in the past years or so since I have been here even though we're in increasing those they still like far behind and as we talk about being competitive and increasing enrollment um I just think getting into those spaces finding what are some of the things that we're missing where are some of the gaps um also just finding ways to add new things just new things not trying to replicate um and not having to pull things to be able to replicate so just from my looking at it just
106it seems that some schools some spaces have a lot more offerings or more robust offerings so I would encourage us uh while I am encouraged by the the steps for we have taken I definitely think there's a long way to go uh there have been significant steps forward and I think we were we're actually prepared to to present to talk about the steps forward and how significant they are and have been I think it's a a really good question I think it's a standalone uh presentation and we've had lots of conversations around it so I'll talk to the board president about how quickly we can get on appreciate it was that it for you sir that's it for right now okay so I'll go ahead and go I appreciate us actually putting this together now
107there are some deficiencies I have in it but overall I do appreciate that this document has come out because the last one we passed was in the 2022 2023 school year so kudos to the team of getting that out some things that I've asked you guys for of which I kind of want to see a little bit more are how these programs map to our individual schools because as when I came to the board I didn't have any responsibility in the school by the time my term started I actually had a freshman attending the school and I'll tell you that although I think there were a lot of cultural things that he was able to experience academically this was not a competitive dis for him and if I wasn't involved those things wouldn't have been
108successful for where he is at today because it just wasn't there and my first complaint about not this one cuz I don't I can't tell on this one because I don't see how the programs are lined up with the schools and I think not I think if you are for all the the parents cuz we have a good amount of parents that are very involved they are bued they read these things and they look at it and they they're steering their kids like I have a have a brother brother that's currently looking at where he wants to send his child to school and Robotics is very big to him and when he looked at as we discussed it he was telling me about how Northridge had a robust robotics program yet he couldn't find a
109third good that's our stem school had anything related to robotics at all and just that piece of when we were talking about oh look I'mma put you on the mic I see you not away cuz you've been in this experience too here but as we're talking about these pieces of we have a stem school where where meale is our Career Tech school and I love the amount of programming that we put in metale we still don't have it in our stem school we have photomy which I think is really good that's in three schools but there's no nursing pathway that goes to where you go next on that piece it's not connected to any the photomy program I believe is at dumbar third good in Mound Street and the nursing program is at ponet in
110medville so we're not giving them those Pathways and I I know that we are we're capable I I want us to think to Mr Smith's point when we are looking at this curriculum whether you put your child in DPS or not build it in a way that you would want if it was your child going through these programs not just the people who they'll leave here and they'll be able to become an STNA that is great if that's someone's go I still want them to be exposed to different things in that piece of it here and I don't want parents if you are looking at our district and you're comparing us to our neighbors that you you aren't seeing the true pathway here that we are claiming that we have cuz we do have really
111good Pathways at opponet metale Styers Belmont is just a great neighborhood and they have a very robust jrtc program and we have a the same thing at um metale again you should be able to get this no matter I shouldn't have to live in those neighborhoods to have that type of exposure and I shouldn't be I should I don't want us to be punished in that piece of it so mark again my asking you guys I know you've gotten this together and we've increased the amount of AP classes we have correct increase amount of AP classes AP hours we've increased the number of Pathways increased the number of work-based experiences we again these things are embedded in here and we Al we also thinking about how we do this comprehensively and looking at the entire
112schedule of the entire high schools and thinking about equity and in addition to that I think that um the future plans around Ford NGL and some of the requests that we currently have are around some of the questions that you're asking so I just I just think we need to we need to have a presentation about it because we we address those and I think you guys need to talk to the kids who've gone through it like I'm going to ask Mr Scott because he's currently a senior and you went to another school before you went to third good correct oh yeah you was over there the big pot Mr Scott you have been at have you I don't know if you had a chance to look at this piece but what is something that
113you would have wished that the team that puts the career rcking them together or the programming at your school what is something that you wish they could have done or they would do better to those who come after I don't know exactly um like briefly going through the course offerings like I noticed there weren't any APS for like the math courses like algebra one and stuff um I think that could definitely be included at like our stem school like you said um and yeah I mean I went to Belmont I remember a time where we didn't have any AP classes um and like barely any CCP offerings too so it's definitely gotten better but um like you said we have photomy but we don't have nursing and like uh Dr Lawrence said we do have
114to like take into account the scheduling of like the entire school and what other what other course offerings are there but I think it would be better I have a friend who wants to be a nurse but all we have are the photomy classes at they good are there anything things that you enjoy about the current programming or sh your time being with us I mean I like that I was able to do at least a couple CCP classes and that I was able to do like I take photomy now so I think that's interesting it's definitely not something that I would see myself doing as a career path but like it's Unique to get exposed to something like that um I definitely wish I would have been able to have my like transcript have
115been more competitive earlier in my high school career like I said I didn't have AP offerings when I first started so there was that deficit that obviously probably took a toll on my application um but what I enjoy I mean I I enjoy what's being added along the way although I may not be able to experience the full impacts of those as a senior we didn't we just got here yeah so that I I would ask too that you guys take this course of study which we have a really good as board member Wick tells me all the time the student Senate group which I believe represents students from all of our high schools here and kind of like even the feedback that the brief one that he just gave right there talk about this
116one and how it's going to impact those individuals because as much as I love thinking about the freshman and the sophomore we have Juniors and seniors that we want to come to school and we want them to finish strong with us and that piece like we can't I think it's a disservice if we don't realize that it's just not interesting or there is nothing enough to attract me to want to come back again every day and that piece of it and I do believe that this is a very talented team that we can actually get outside the box on this piece of places that maybe we didn't do so well in the past on going is there a true pathway for me getting an intro here to there how do I connect those individuals who
117are interested in philotomy to intro to nursing how do I get that piece in there how do I build how do I put like I don't think we have many science classes at thir good yet again we're stem school it's a real it's like the first letter in STEM Science so we spent this morning with Partners from all over the region addressing just what you're talking saying talking about right now what supports of a graduate what does that look like and what are some characteristics of that and U miss miss dly and her team were in the process of again codifying many of the things that you've talked about and last summer we um commissioned um a report through AEL that talked about the low cour um low course intensity basically saying that our course
118work was not at all that rigorous you are correct and we commission the study to confirm what we already do and then we made major changes this year and we continue to push forward to um quite frankly reimagine reorganize and completely revamp high school there were no AP courses when I sat in this seat in this District other than that Cyrus gone decimated I know I've know many many so if I could just ask to with this one before we vote on this can you give us that breakdown of what's offered at each school I know we got a one cheater but I want the details here I need to be able to confidently talk about how our schools are competitive when I'm talking to parents about why they should choose DPS over our competitors
119that are in the same neighborhoods so I'm just asking that you guys give us that breakdown and if you see that there are gaps before you ask us to approve this feel F those gaps Mr Smith yeah and I want to say once again I do want to recognize the work that has gone in okay the work that has gone in to improve uh what we do offer but I think it's the way I look at it is when I came on the board there was a dir of offerings there was this concentration in certain buildings where if you was at a certain building you had a different level of rigor and in other spaces it was we're trying to get by we're going to make it here let's go and so it's like okay
120I get that we have made these advances but I never want us to lose sight of the fact that we have a long way to go um and I think when you look at this space this piece right here outside of the culture that we build the customer service that we give this piece should be something where I can go around and hand it to somebody and go this is why your child should be okay at third good this is why your child should be okay going to Belmont because we have to look at the reality of what we have in that you have a number of families that go hey I would love to go to metal Deale I would love to go to dumor I would love to go to my arm moer
121I would love to send my kid to my alma moer but I want them to do XYZ in right now you don't have that and I think that is the real thing of even looking at what other spaces do well um that is a real thing we we have to understand that that is the space where people make that decision of going all right it was cool while it lasted my child loved elementary school but now we're in middle school now we're about to go to high school I'm not sending them over here and that is a real thing and I do not think that the people that are in this District are incapable of doing those things is either um I think that we can do amazing things we have amazing talented staff um
122and I I just think that we need to look at that and I do think looking at all of those pieces in their separate Scopes be it the the master scheduling be it uh Staffing be it whatever we need but we talk a lot about being competitive I want to be as competitive as possible in every aspect um and I think this is where we talk about that thing CU that's where when I'm out and having conversations that's the thing that people talk about is thank you sir is how do I feel with my child being in DPS and I would want this right here to be something where I would feel completely comfortable and completely confident going to a parent and saying hey this is why you should go to DPS instead of leaving
123the district this is why no matter what school you choose to go to you have this level of learning whether it be being at metale and doing the programs there or at ponents or if you want to go to dumbar these are what things we're going to offer here so you can have a rigorous education if you're a third good you can have this rigorous education because I think also we set ourselves up if we're not doing that because every year we have these senior days and we have seniors that are going off to college and we celebrate them for having these high gpas and I can say because I was one of them and I got to Zer University in my first math class I looked at my test and thought my mom was
124going to kill me because it was like I did not I wasn't in that space of yes at my high school was amazing got straight A's in these classes I got to college it was not like that I hadn't learned I hadn't been tested in that space to where I needed to be tested to where I could move in that space I didn't know how to be a college kid and I see too many of our kids here by Spring they're like yep I came back wasn't for me wasn't for me couldn't do it and I think the more we we up that rigor the better off our long-term outcomes will be as well so appreciate the work and I just know you can do it DOC we got we just finished um just finished
125finishing the publication it's in your hand they were going a mail to the entire community so that they have it in their hand hands we are now using it and we hand it out as part of our recruitment for dating Public Schools every academic has it we're going to make sure operations people have it it speaks to many of the things that you that you talked about just now and um and this is just the first generation we're going to continue to get better but in your hand are many of the things that you asked and talked about may I comment on it of course you may that's why I gave it to you and I will say po po M Smith I was also one of those people in college man listen that had
126to go to that uh I think they call it the development I I it was so bad that it was in a building that you had to go all the way across college to get to and you ain't want people to see you there and I'm like thats fail me I had one at Sinclair uh M Mr Smith I I want to say I want to address that too to say that um I hear you um in fact you and I were talking about some work uh bringing in some folks to work with our um our outgoing seniors to prepare for that transition uh and and um you I'll talk about that they gonna they gonna need some classes so this is the book that Dr Lawrence handed to us which is a good book
127I do want to highlight here just a quick can you say that one more time let me go ahead so it's a good book it's something here give you that it say it one more time but when you see uh look when you open it and you see Pon it it's about four pages for Pon Dumar has eight P Styers got three Styers has three third good has eight page that's two pages they do not have two pages oh are you counting this yeah count that's one the program is is great picture this is what we talk about like if I went to third good I would want to see our Pages look well uh actually hold on let me give you one more Belmont which is our largest high school has one page that
128they share with middle school one page so I just the challenge to you guys is I need I'm hoping that you get you do know that's an improvement right hey for what it was you meas was three years ago no okay I'm just saying what you but that's just my ask to you guys again as you look at this look at it as if you are a parent and if I want my child to go to school the stem school I want I want them to go to the stem school if I want them to go be a bison I want them to be a bison but I want them to have a good experience go ahead we we're we're acknowledging that and we're going to be asking for your support in in in upcoming
129weeks I um go ahead so I'm just curious 15 years out of high school how is how do students select like I have an interest in this elective or interest in this like just how does that whole process like work with the counselor interaction of like I don't know the I saw on here I think it was Ceramics I'm thinking that's only at Styers not at any other building okay so even with Ceramics or I think there was a class of business law and things like that like is this more of a student says Hey I want to do my own business when like that whole career exploration thing with students how does that shape what they actually go in as far as what they want to do in high school that's a complex set
130of arrays beginning with possibly you U science which is what you're interested in versus what your aptitude is counselor presentations in classrooms counselors are mandated to meet with every single child individually in the high schools to ask about what their career interests are and so also what are your plans for next year in terms of what you want to schedule and what courses you want to be in this is actually I'm glad you asked this question Mr Walker this is the primary reason why Ford NGL is so exp important because what it does is you get guaranteed experiences in every grade starting from preschool so by the time you're in high school you have ideas around what you want to go in and so you're not just sitting with a counselor blind or not just
131going on what your parents did but you've had these experiences all throughout DPS so they're mandated to meet with every single student um and then it's scheduling time right now so we're scheduling districtwide um at the at Central Services us and in the buildings they're scheduling as well okay and then the second part to that looking at the course offerings and then doing for the PE like elective um to opt out of PE is that more of the counselor like says hey you have this option or is it the student has to go and find that option second one don't Li second you got to no up did Mr to say the second one go ahead and and the reason I asked because I oh no and the reason I asked that is because looking
132at these program the programs that's listed under there and things like that I think that that can draw student participation more especially where if I think it said cheerleading was on there sports was on there for at least two years RTC is on there but if if it's not being told to me about this and I mean we are it's student so we cannot always expect them to go and find the information or seek the information because this is a a massive document to then go look at so thank you thank you Mr Walker part and you you you were a student of mine so part of this is not for me to just point out the negative y'all didn't sell us on this either well you did so you're an RTC you didn't have
133to take PE major Graves told me you have to take PE I didn't never sawell you in PE but I I would I would say that U my you know my job is to do two things solve with the team solve things that are wrong but highlight the things that are right and so in some cases yes there are counselors who work with other teachers and work with administrative teams to say Hey where's the list of our athletes where's the list of our kids and our our Junior RTC and they are not going to have to be in PE okay that's how that works I've seen it happen at metal I watched it I watched the principal involved in it in other cases it does not happen and we are working to remedy that okay
134I yeah that's that's yeah Mr Smith go ahead I like what you said I think do want to highlight the positive and I think sometimes where it may sound as a negative is us searching for more positives and I say that by looking at this this book that we just got right I can look at this and go when I got on the board this page this page this page this page did not exist we had no programs like that in metell and I will say the metell that I see today is far different from the metale that I saw when I was running for the school board and that is why I say the the things that we seek to do if we all come together and collaborate to do them has a tremendous
135impact on our kids like seeing in this this booklet four pages of programming that did not exist for students just four years ago so when we have a student here who is graduating to say that these programs did not exist when he was originally about to go into high school so in his mind that takes away a whole school so I think last year was the first class from medale that had actually been able to say we have been here since these changes have been implemented and just to see the difference and I look and I can look no further than seeing one of the people on the cover of this booklet is a meale graduate and so that's the piece where I say why I know we can do it is because we've done
136it and we've done it very recently um and so I think that is a piece that I look for is to say I want those success stories across the district because I saw the the conversations that were being had about metale when I was running for school you you heard about those same things there was a different conversation there was a conversation about what do we even do with this building right now because and what happens is if we're not being mindful when we build up a building all we sometimes do is inadvertently move some of the issues to another building and so I think if we're being mindful of that and looking to avoid that the only way to do it is to be able to make sure that at any school you have
137those same success stories so that is why I think we're all saying that we want to accentuate the positive and we're all highlighting the positive of the gains that we've made but we're also highlighting the fact that there is a long road to go yes until we have a city where the majority even just the majority of parents in this area are completely confident in sending their child to Dayton public schools from prek to 12th grade and I think that is that has to be the mission of of that every day that is the goal for me every day is making sure that every parent that I see can be comfortable with their child attending any school in this district and knowing that they're going to have a great education I just want to highlight
138the principles that are here and connect them to your comments uh there's Miss Bailey from dumbar uh when I see her I think about the new pathway braiding that we're excited about um it's coming to dumbar I see the principal from metale there Mr Davis Aviation is coming some of his kids will be going to the Flying this year so we'll now have an aviation Focus as well as other classes that build on that and I see principal Smith from Belmont there uh sheet metal will be at Belmont and so I just just off the top of my head they happen to be here and happen to be looking at them and the new programming that's coming to their buildings and so we we hear you loud and clear we are trying to rapidly uh
139turn this ship around and get there can I make one request I just got question um I'm looking at all the middle schools and then with you've got these first four and then fifth one is kind of like the individual thing of the schools so these first four are offered is it also offered at Belmont as well see it on for Belmont so you're looking at these four here it's at all the screen see why every middle schooler want to go there so with middle for Belmont Middle School is those also offered Belmont no they're not offered at Belmont Middle School why they not off um we just haven't got to it yet and we're and and we're kind of I'm sorry yeah we have't space they're in one hallway so we're we're that's part
140of our presentation next week you told me you switch that this year that they weren't one hallway not this year next year if we move forward next year next year we move for you told me this year that you moved them out of the one hallway and was one of the first things you guys did so that's incorrect information we have a new principle there we never have done that to him we got a whole new presentation on the talk about though so that's great to hear that you guys have not explorers actually them in school we have we have a presentation so they're not like how Styers is no they have never never have been that's good to know I can't wait that's next week's conversation so put a pin in that parking lot
141we'll come back we get you guys right there uh one this I have a request for chief sheii since it's more so towards the stem curriculum I'm just trying to find out the breakdown of how much we are actually investing in the curriculum at I believe so I know third good is our stem and name and I think EJ Brown at one point was something there so how much can I just get a I don't need an answer today but I'm just requesting to have the actual dollar amount that is invested into the stem programming that one and then second in the athletic advisory committee one of the complaints that we received today was we're at a disadvantage and this was in regards to the league expansion and kind of why some individuals aren't just
142over the line right now and they were saying some of like a pain point in today's day there is no no Ascension from elementary to Middle School to high school meaning for example if I went to reach Troy then I went to wman then I went to Dumbo right and they were talking about kind of how the academic side isn't helping as much as they would hope of individuals going from one location to the next to the next so if you guys can consider on your side too like with these Paths of how you go up like I even see all the middle schools kind of have the same thing here but that piece of it just putting your minds on it as well as some of our senior coaches are were just stating again
143that piece is something that you no longer have here which puts us as a disadvantage comparative to like the the the used Tri of but jeffon does it too there's one Elementary then you go to the high school there one high school rightwood there there's one I don't know how many Elementary they have but then there a middle school and then go to high school but they were that again their thing was that there's no intentional helping people that these schools are connected they work together all right that's all right so two questions the first one with regards to programs that are at schools is for instance the aviation are there actually students that have said that we interested in being a pilot When We Roll Out programs Matt fuler he does a great job
144of asking kids um the adults that are there also the administrative team and counselors around what the needs are and what we what we're seeing now Mr Walker is it's like in sports kids play for the coach like the school almost doesn't matter anymore it's the person and it's almost the same thing right now in academics now if you have a great Aviation teacher then kids find their way there and so that's that's how we have the conversation around what the pathways will be so in closing no kid have said that I'm interested in aviation at um Mr Davis you are here can you talk more about the aviation pathway and in the interest how they even know about it yeah I don't like how' they get selected over the other schools no you got
145to come to the m and I and and while he's coming I'll just like my reason for asking that is because I look at programs like Mount Street and the only thing that it tells me is they have the yes like and I got so that's why I was just curious on like because then if if we're if we're adding this program is a student interest there and if so what does that say about the other programs where they may have already been interested the last year or two and now changing over was that to me or to no that that's a side thing yours was more of Aviation is the student interest there yes yes it's a uh it started off um as drones at first you know where it where where it came
146from at first um and then we were kind of going back and forth um to uh see how we can incorporate drones you know um um and then there here comes the you know the aviation portion of it um we went to the CTE um um conference in Columbus so that's when we really got intrigued because it had simulators okay you know we seen the simulators and I'm like oh man this is this is huge you know and right Patterson Air Force Base is right in our basically in our backyard you know so I said there's not an aviation program in our area so to speak you know know they have drones but then you look at drones kids sometimes look at drones as little toys they don't really understand you know the depth of
147it you know not saying that you know I'm saying we couldn't but um when I seen the simulators we were locked in to the you know the simulator portion of it um in addition to um one of our metad alumni um graduated in 2000 uh works at R Patterson Air Force Base as well so we was able to you know have a meeting in regards to um what the partnership that we can possibly develop with um right patteron Air Force Base along with you know Aviation okay any partnership possibilities with the city of Dayton yes ma'am I know they said that uh when I was told when I say they it was told to me from Matt porett that Mar Ms is also um you know huge advocate for uh Aviation as well I would
148say probably need more Mr commission sh sha Shaw's been big on pushing that um that piece is there any opportunity for like cuz the one of the complaints that Mr Shaw has given commissioner Shaw has given on many ages is the lack of date and involvement when they do the the fly so that's what I think that's what doc was talking about when he talking about the people doing the the fly um summer camp the air Camp thing air Camp that's what it's called so that's what it's saying is getting those kids over this but just saying like it's good that there's an interest at metale is there opportunity at again we got Dumar and third that's five programs we're working on if if we can build it at metale in this next year why
149can't Dumar have that or why can't THD or Belmont the people have five or six programs we'll be back next year to talk about all right any other questions thanks thank you all right you see we got some some alumni over there they talking that's all like that metal alumni spe I just not all right your next recommendation for next recommendation for you is memorandum of understanding University of Dayton academic collaboration all right are there any questions look one p so they cat your eye over to the left a little bit okay um if you Dr Lawrence what is your what is your main piece main takeaway that you would want to see from this collaboration for me counselors are very difficult to find um we have um when we post for those we get
150very few at at the secondary level at the at the elementary level um we're actually posting for that now via Visa grant money for next year and we're getting lots of applications lots of interest but at the high school level you don't see that a lot so my main goal is to create this space where Dayton Public Schools starting with metal becomes a clinical site for counselors and so we tried this about a decade before and we failed uh and we're trying it again now so that they can just roll right into our system as counselors and we can create a pipeline no cost right no cost better not be man we got our president spe on our booklet getting some free proo I just met with him last week no cost man no cost
151we were just together last ready all right your next recommendation uh next recommendation uh change the title of position of males and females of color life close to just life coach and the same thing for life coach twice males and females all right any questions um yall know why y absolutely know why yeah you know why we y pay attention to the same I mean that that's not I mean mine is more so no mine is more so when we did the salary schedule I thought we had changed the name on I thought we did too let me double check that yeah that's what I was going to say and Y I thought I'm almost positive we did Andrew can you can you is that a business plus question title oh okay okay all right
152so just take it got it so we'll take the you have to come to the mic and say that when they calling you you can ask Riot next time to give a a community no um so on the on the salary schedule it's like life coach Dash males and females of color um on the one that was approved in November so it's just dropping the dropping on part okay yep does that conclude your recommendations that's a good one it does madam Treasurer your first recommendation for review okay all my recommendations are for review only and if we go to 9A and U the go to the second link on that one FY 26 um it is a tax for tax year 2025 2026 this is a summary of amounts required uh from general fund property
153tax approved by the budget commission and County auditor estimated R rates uh it has to be approved by the board before or it goes to the uh County so what we have here is all the meals and uh we have the inside meal of 4.44 which generates for general fund 8.6 million um outside 10 mil we have for general fund 6307 it generates 6 8 million uh Bond retirement fund 6.01 mil generates 12.8 million half a meal for classroom facilities which generate 73959 the same half M for uh permanent Improvement 7 7 7 39579 so the total for all these meals the estimated total is 91 million do you have any question on this any questions I did um Madam treasur do any like the bond retirement can Poss can change yes but did it
154but is is our recommendation to change it no this one is for next year but as needed if uh the expense comes more than uh what it's approved I go to the accounting uh auditor and uh they can increase it like we did last time every year they ask me how much I need on that one so we're not requesting an increase in taxes no that's all I have Mr Walker do you have a question all right Madam okay the next one is um in accordance with um section 30 331 17.8 of the Ohio Revised Code the following tuition rates have been calculated from the state of Ohio Department of Education out of uh District uh 3,4 9525 cents out of state grade SK 12 8,433 and88 cents it has to be approved that's the
155reason why we brought it to the attention of the board do you have any question on this one any questions okay your next recommendation the next one is uh tax valuation complaints this is done by our uh legal I will read one of them because um one of them they I have nine of them uh but they are the same for different um property tax owners and um addresses so I will read one of them this resolution resolution authorizing filing of original complaint against the tax valuation P one to2 RC 5715 -9 whereas on July 21 2022 the Ohio General Assembly amended RC 57151 19 to require Boards of Education to pass a resolution authorizing the filing of original complaints against valuation under the the statutes and whereas the board amends to file an original
156complaint against valuation pursuant to to RC 5715 that 19 against against the following property 1300 Wilmington Pike Dayton Ohio 45420 mon County auditor parcel number r72 1773 32. 00004 the property and whereas the property is owned by agree um shelf PA LLC and agree shelf PA LLC has been sent notice of this resolution via certified mail at least 7 days prior to the passage and whereas the Bas the basis for the original complaint for each parcel identified as part of the property is RC 5715 19 a i d and whereas the original complaint authorized by this resolution is for the tax year 2024 and now therefore B it resolved that the Board of Education in accordance with Ohio Revised Code 5715 19 a7d authorizes the filing of the above described original complaint okay any questions
157yeah go ahead Mr lazy yeah so do we have to go through legal with each of these resolutions yes is that legal files for those and that and that's because because the sale price of these Pro properties are lower right yeah I understand that they're there yeah okay um we just don't have somebody in house that can do it or we don't it's too difficult is this are in house I mean the frost Brown what about our law who our law clerk our part-time law clerk what's her I don't know he never Barber to that I mean I think that's our in-house person the parttime individual toown is our external okay we can ask her okay she'll be here I mean she works part time so why not we do have a part time like
158if anybody wondered that's all I have thank you Mr Walker I get when we file these what what happens does it go in our favor or most of the time they are on our favor because this um prices are very very low um some of them are $500,000 they they are worth a million or a million five if if if we don't file these that it it'll go to the board of revision without being contested at all yeah yeah got it appreciate it any other questions Madam treasure your next recommendation my next one is a placeholder for the financial monthly financials it will be reviewed by the finance committee and on Thursday and it will come on Tuesday the next one is um approval of the minutes minutes for um January 14 and January 21
159I don't think you will have question on this one I'll all right your next one okay I will go to the next one is donations uh we have one donation for storage of America for making event wor uh $116 and 89 cents thank you donor uh we will send a a letter A thank you letter after the approval the next one is purchase requisitions um these purchase requisitions are from all uh all district let's look at them and if you have any question we'll answer you got a question you go I have another question for you okay um so two questions the first one would be um I see principal Bailey here just curious on the College Tour on where the students at dumbar will be going um and then the second one is more
160so for athletics just curious on the purchase order for athletic equipment where are we with equipment for diverse football and things like that come on up to the mic cuz we can't hear yall back there I did say Dr Miss Bailey first good evening um College stour College Tour students are going to Nashville they're going to Tennessee State University they're going to they're going to Vanderbilt Belmont Xavier I think they're going to stop at UC on their way back up okay thank you you're welcome oh sorry is that during spring break or no it's the week before spring break okay um so what we did we made sure that each teacher provided work um and they have their laptops their CCP most of the students are our CCP students so they've already been given their
161work from their professors so that we can continue that as attendance and things like that okay so another part on that that I would ask since they have their laptops did the district provide them with hotspots because sometimes you know the charter bus stuff like that don't be they spots from the CCP so appreciate it one more question on that one how many students are going 22 22 you can cut out Cincinnati if you want to not going to do that you can cut out Tennessee State and Xavier on Cut Xavier out C Xavier out drive on appreciate you Clifton Community com good evening um we just had our last U meeting um concerning Styers football and um we have have identified some some challenges but I think we worked through them so we know
162we do have to get have to get a shed so we will be coming with a quote for that for the equipment um as far as the helmets and um uniforms we have all the quotes for that and we just wanted to make sure after that last meeting that we were good to go because as you guys know football is a very expensive sport so we have all that locked and loaded and after this last meeting um we can get BSN going with that um ad G has done an amazing job with getting that done and Coach Ryan has been instrumental um with this as well so I think we're at a good place and I think we feel comfortable now with moving forward with the equipment I appreciate you are there any other questions
163on the purchase orders carer North America Incorporated for 350,000 for stoal equipment that is not um a street sweeper um what kind of equipment are we looking at so if you've been in the uh building where they have the uh the large gray units uh the scrubbers it's about this wide with a big round yeah kind of for stripping and right right so that's a actually a scrubber uh battery charger pressure washer and a wet dry vacuum burner all in one okay and so we just need Replacements on that yes sir how many of those does 351,000 get you I will get that number for you huh I'll get that number for you that's fine I believe it's one unit though oh okay I'll get it one un we move them around from school to
164school or does each School get a unit I don't know I believe each school has a each school has a unit okay yep but I'll get the I'll get the exact number more that's fine that's all I have okay are there any other questions all right your next recommendation we have Zen and now and uh let's look at it and U if you have any question we can answer all right I give you guys a second any questions on the then and now all right does that conclude your recommendations Madam treasury yes thank you all right Dr Jones your first recommendation for review the fact I know he's laughing I don't know why they're laughing I recommend uh ratification of the Ohio High School Athletic Association membership for the uh for fiscal year 26 are
165there any questions on his first recommendation I have one for you yes ma'am charity Adams When will they actually make it on to the ocean site as they would be in their second year next year uh great question um right now uh OSHA requires that middle schools have uh two Sports operating in each season uh we're not quite there yet but um Mr was will be working peevishly uh to make sure that happens what are we lacking the specific Sports I know we had basketball is we still don't count cheerleading as a sport no man they don't have cheerleading because so because they don't have a boys program they won't ever be in the membership if you just said you have to we'll just have to we'll just have to double up hold on one
166second can you say what she just said on the mic so people understand my question back to her that now just sound like I said cuz they didn't have boys you a say anything about that so since we never had Sports there you go through a perspective membership um process and in order for us to be able to get to that um you have to offer two sports in each season so fall winter spring for boys and girls so um right now we're just still trying to identify what that looks like um for that school are there any disadvantages for them not being in it being an ocean well the main thing for middle school would be the track P because they wouldn't be able to compete in the the state meet can they compete
167with I thought a middle school you could SP team they could in that case oh so then it's not really a disadvantage well I mean if you kind of want your own identity because you will be mixed with another school when we combined them wear a button similar to football yeah but if they okay all right that was go ahead Mr Smith no that was going to be my piece is that at the middle school level it's not as much of a OA need almost as much cuz I think outside of track that's really the only oan stuff everything else is really done at the kind of combined level here like when we do with the middle school basketball where it's it's us combined with the different teams around so appreciate that that was all
168I had it was the same question you had all right thank you your first recommendation for a vote was I was about to say the no this wasn't for a vote was it no this is just a review now the next one is for a vote Yes so your first recommendation for a vot okay I recommend waving uh the 48 hour rule to present the following uh non enrolled Athletics Deca and Liberty High School agreement is there moved second moved by Mr Lacy second by Mr Smith any questions on the motion this is just the wave that mad treasur may we have a vote president good Wayne yes Dr Bailey yes Mr Lacy yes Mr Smith I will render to Dr Jones a yes M rard yes Mr worker yes Miss Wick yes Mr Scott
169yes eight yeses okay your next recommendation I recommend ratification of the N en rooll Athletics agreement with Deca so moved second second moved by Mr Lacy second by Dr goodwine one question for you for me before I ask the other can you give us a little update on what we've H what's happened since we passed our resolution to where we are most definitely we had uh P send out correspondents to all of our participating Charter Schools um three of them showed up to a meeting uh that we had at Jackson Center uh Liberty High School Richard Allen and the Dayton early college academy uh all three um agreed on an agreement uh that provided provided parameters around how we were going to collaborate and interact or basically allow uh non-enrolled students to participate in athletics
170with DPS uh I am actively reaching out to the other charter schools to get them to sign the same agreements okay any questions go ahead board member Riner then board member Walker thank you madam president um how many non-public have students that are participants in our athletic programs that's a great question um I know here this spring I want to say we're just north of five maybe six schools okay so this covers half probably the majority of the students but half of the non-public um and I assume that they all know that they students that we have paused the the ability of the students to participate in our athletic programs and um I will just say that I hope that we can continue working with our non-public partners and make sure that this uh participation
171agreement is put in place for all of those non public definitely we also met with the Ohio High School Athletic Association uh and we found out that there was another school from the Dayton region uh that showed up on the doorsteps of Osha uh wanting their um child to participate and so uh won't say which school that is now but that will be uh one of the first schools that I reach out to okay thank you thank you madam president Mr Walker it is this specifically just for high school students participating or is this Middle School non-public school participating as well uh actually it's uh both Middle School and High School Richard Allen has um go I believe they go K through 8 and so they've already agreed to sign uh the agreement that we
172sent over they just haven't sent it back yet okay but I anticipate getting it this week okay any other question Mr Smith yes Al I appreciate um the work that's been going in appreciate the collaborative effort uh to understand where we were and understanding that you know on both sides acting acting swiftly will be in the benefit of are the children of the area um I think that's my biggest thing is making sure that we now that we have one and if I'm being honest we have the largest one I think it gives us a framework for everything else so I would definitely hope that I would say by at least next week well yes I hope by next week these things are done because we already have something already in place now we know
173that this came about from um what happened uh well the last piece of it that prompted us to move in that way so I think um it's just there now so I would really hope that we're moving now since we already have something there that other people can say hey let's look take a look at that see if it fits for us we look at that see if it works for us on our side as well cuz these kids are itching to get out there it's a nice day out here you know kids want to get out here Run Track play baseball get out here do their thing so I can want you get that little pride to yeah tick tick tick thank you any other questions seeing none Madam treasure may we have a

175vote president goodwine yes Dr Bailey yes Mr Lacy yes Mr Smith yeah Miss rard yes Mr Walker yes Miss Wick yes Mr Scott atss all right next we have a conversation that we're going to have based off of us learning that there is a proposal to moove the medale Army jrtc program to dumbar I'm not sure who's given this presentation but I do know that we do have the RTC Personnel here who will also give us some information on it too so then we as the board can provide some input on this go ahead so yours okay uh good evening and thank you for the opportunity to come for this conversation discussion um and as you know as we all agree that our goal is to inspire educate and Empower and part of that is
176making sure we're planning with a purpose and many of the comments today about programming and making sure we have balance and Pathways concerted Pathways at all buildings is something that we're currently working on and so we'll go on to the next slide our goal is 100% of our students having postsecondary success whatever their goals are whatever their Youth Science scores and their interests we want to make sure we're providing programming for them so 100% even either having industry credentials uh two or foury year university college experiences successfully as well as apprenticeships and supporting our our military career focused students is also something that we are seriously focused on so we'll go to the next slide and so what where are we now um our medale army jrc program we value greatly uh metale has become
177as you know a comprehensive Career Tech school and so Career Tech students the ones that are enrolled there are unable to complete the both the JC goals and CTE goals simultaneously due to the scheduling challenges there's no way they can complete both of those Pathways successfully and so fewer than six students have enlisted in the Army in 16 years and we want to see an increase in that number we want to make sure we can support that number uh there's a minimum of three years required to meet all the metrics they can achieve uh some of the goals within two years and we have the metale CTE schedule for all our students now that we can show you if you could click on that will it let you click on it but it gives and
178we can make sure we provide it it shows an outline of all the courses and how they would not be able to even if they wanted to complete it to get the credits and things they need for the jroc so we have to do something for those students and that program because our goal is for that program to be a success wherever it is so dunar is a school so oh these are some of the numbers we have have of students that are in the program and what year so we want the numbers high and our other uh jrc programs we've got me many more and here you can see very small numbers and it's nothing against the program it's just that the scheduling does not allow them to remain in it so it's one
179senior for the level four one senior for level three and you can see where it is here so that's uh actually where they are scheduled right now and so we want those numbers increased so we can have a large group like we do with the other high school with JR otoc so success and opportunities for all is what we're seriously um expecting and planning for benefits for Dumar so we had a conversation with the Brigade Commander out of Fort Knox who's Over All J jrc in high school and he shared with us that there's a lot that we can expand on our program so moving the program to Dunbar would allow the students to go through all the courses stay there for that support we also would have the opportunity to bring 3D printers drone
180price pilot license for the end of the second year he's offering free ACT SAT prep and he said that would be for any student not just the JROTC academic bowls military competitions increase the number of students that actually enlist because we want that to be an opportunity remember 100% being able to move on postsecondary success increase scholarship opportunities and create new Pathways for our students and so there's no way we can have it at metale with the Career Tech competing with that program we need it where it can be a strong program on its own and we could believe that can happen with with the staff we have and the support for the buildings so let's see the next slide so what would happen at metale we're not just you know what what could we
181do with that space it allows for the expans expansion of advanced manufacturing program which is one of the in demand careers we had a huge as Dr lawren said a community meeting today where they're actually helping us build our Pathways that was one of the recommendations that we add uh increases enrollment due to the CTE programming allows for vettech to come to metale we've been approved for vettech but we don't have the space for it uh and we have a time limit on how long we have to implement it and we have just three more years the only way to increase it without having the space at metale is construction and uh you don't get the Perkins money you can't use it for construction so that would bring more funding out of our general fund
182which we're uh want to avoid so we would be able to have a strong program at dumbar our principal is a former RTC person she's very excited about it um and it would bring more programs to those students and we'd be able to add these uh quality programs at metale the comprehensive CTE High School let's go on so some of the questions that uh we know we expect people to ask why not have army JROTC at both medell and dumbar as I said due to the scheduling requirements students would not be able to successfully complete the JROTC program and their credentialing for C te why now why not later we're in the midst of transforming education and DPS now is the time to make these appropriate changes to ensure 100% be beyond graduation and so
183again there's time limits for our vettech program which we have to make changes in order to make that OPP opportunity there and we have the need to as you know increase programming at Dumar which we're trying to balance and support all schools and we'll be bringing more programs to our high schools where there are clear gaps we we agree with that why does it appear to be some questions we may get from the community why does it appear to be a CTE focus and not college and as Dr Lawrence shared earlier we're just as passionate and engaged about the academic intensity and preparing students for college we moved from only 280 students having advanced placement courses to over 838 this year and we're growing to NE more for next year there also has been an
184expansion of CCP courses next year we're adding 10 additional courses for 2526 so those are just some of the questions you may have and we can move to the next slide have we reached out to other military branches yes um Dr Lawrence has and it takes an average of two years to get that established do we have business partners and labor unions ready to support the expansion at metal deal of advanced manufacturing and vettech yes we have several Partners excited about this opportunity for the region and our students and one way we're building the programs is through the community and we're doing that because we don't want what's happened before programs come and then things change and then they disappear and before you know it you don't have opportunities building it with our Community Partners
185and we invite everybody to come out for our Ford NGL meetings there's another big one tomorrow we'll have more than 100 parents students for student voice business partners teachers principes everybody at the table Mr Smith will be there with us um to build these programs and that's what this is about have the principles been consulted about these changes yes they're very supportive they they helped us with the planning process are in full support of these opportunities at each of their schools and so just want to close with this this is the work that we're doing we're trying to make sure that every student that gets a diploma is successful 100% a year after gradu uation they're either successfully enrolled in a two or foure university in a high demand field enlisted in the military or
186a successful entrepreneur that's what we're working towards and there's some will be coming with other uh programming changes because we're trying to balance off for all the schools okay thank you before we ask question I'm actually going to ask Lieutenant Colonel Mason you come and give us some information now too since then we'll ask ask you guys questions on our [Music] side good evening I appreciate the opportunity to speak before you um I our program has been I I'm I'm a graduate of Dayton public am I limited on three minutes can I do okay great I just want to make sure um I'm a graduate of Dayton public schools um I um went to dve Public Schools I uh graduated from Central State University there that was a first opportunity for me to be introduced
187to the military I got a uh full ride I was a first person in my family uh to go to college and the last three years of my schooling was free because I got a qualified for an RTC scholarship I because I had that scholarship I had an obligation to serve for about four years and of course four years turned into 20 so I decided to obviously stay in uh during that 20 years of service I deployed to in three major deployments Desert Storm uh Bosnia and uh uh the last one was uh Afghanistan my last assignment was doing this at the college level at Jackson State University so I'm very familiar with that process um um I appreciate the comments that you made earlier about competitive resumés or competitive transcripts while I know that
188drill is associated with jrtc you can't get no scholarships with drill okay I love drill it's beautiful but to expect our program to focus solely on that and to measure us uh whether or not we're worthy as to how many drill competitions we had as much as I love major Graves he had a background in that he was in the Old Guard I don't know if y'all know that but that's unusual uh for a field grade officer to do something like that and he is exceptional I will not take anything away from him but Roc programs especially in this day and age should not be measured by you can walk or you can March a squad although that's all about teamwork I appreciate that but there's so many opportunities that we've touched on with our
189kids at medale leadership um we did have a drill competition the kid that had to memorize all those commands was scared to death and he did it and we were very proud of him and we got third place and I tell you they're walking on cloud they're on Cloud9 because of that but I also want to uh let you know that one of the things I want to do with my students because I went when I went to college there were some challenges I had too I was lucky enough to have a middle school teacher that taught me how to diagram sentences so I was always good with English and all that but Algebra I had to take some remedial classes but the one thing I've learned in my 20 years of of military and
190that one of the shortcomings I had was knowledge of current events especially International I want my Cadets to be articulate about current events not only local National but International they should be articulated about what's going on in the Ukraine what's going on in Gaza they should be articulated about the leaders that uh International leaders they should be articulated about Civic engagement they should also be involved in service learning projects they should be reaching out that's one thing we do we volunteer at the house of bread I always do a hunger relief project and my kids uh more so than I'll just say it any other students in the building um they volunteer quite a bit we had our own uh GSA uh when I was at TH Good Marshall I had a student that uh
191uh acknowledge to me that she was in lgbtt community we created a GSA and she led it and we partnered with glisten to make that happen I'm very proud of that uh we created an NA ACP chapter the first in the state that's not marching but that's really important to get the students to be leaders and to actually address real world problems I was able to take six Cadets to the National Convention that just happened to be actually I took them to two one that was local in Cincinnati and another that was in Baltimore first time on a plane first time in a hotel first time in a major city and first time to actually be up close and personal with some of the world's most well-known civil rights leaders that's important so when you
192call uh or identify a jrtc program by how many competitions they had I think it's very shortsighted I also want to acknowledge that um CTE program has changed our um numbers and on the subject of numbers our contract requires us to have 10% of the overall student population so when you hear you don't have the numbers or your numbers are low you should ask a question do you have 10% or more of the overall student population and we always do every year now do I want it to be way over 10 yes or 10% yes but that is the measurement that we are contractually obligated to have so I just feel some kind of way every time I hear you don't have have the numbers but I'm like what numbers are you talking about so
193um I want to give my students a unique experience one of the things I'll do I also do in addition to jotc I have a class called intro Global awareness that is an elective within Army jrtc and we were able to get our students in that class involved in Jawa we attended Global um or International career every year that it's offered uh we have attended naturalization ceremonies where my students get to meet the judge that officiates we've actually sat down with Walter Rice and watched him give the uh ceremony it's very moving it's very touching by the way the mission of our program is to motivate young people to become better citizens so when my uh Cadets attend that naturalization ceremony if you if your heart's not touched by that and how moved those people
194are in becoming uh citizens I don't know what to tell you but it's very moving to attend this event all the people in it stand up say their name and they start to connect my students start to connect current events to those people that are standing up and saying their name you hear the accents you hear the country they're from oh this is somebody from pales or from Gaza this is somebody from uh Democratic Republic of Congo so you're attending that event and they make the connection between what's going on in the world on an not local not National but International level um as far as the location madale the unique uh thing about it first of all I want to I believe there are great kids at all the schools like I said I'm
195a graduate of Dayton public schools if the decision is made that we move to dumbar we're going to do the best we can there I know there are great kids there that will appreciate our program but the reason I want to uh I want you to understand the implications of relocating us and what's loss as a result the facility that's at madale was specifically made for GRC it has the office that's required in the contract it has drill space it even has a it has the appropriate storage for all of our uniforms and it also has storage for our uh drill rifles and air rifles oh by the way we have an indoor range in that room nobody in this District can say they have that uh you mentioned major Graves major Graves was involved
196in the uh uh design I believe of uh the schools he was a part of that and he informed me that yeah that's the only place in the district that has that so um I'm lucky well I do want to say this I spent a lot of time by myself this is a minimum twers program and uh since I've been at metale uh 2017 uh we've had quite a bit of turnover in the Army in my position is called senior Army instructor the other the second position is Army instructor and that position has been it's it's it's been a lot of turnover in that position this is not the perfect fit if you've been fir uh when when I say that I mean um the my position and the senior or the Army instructor position
197are high ranking um and we're accustomed to certain way of being treated so when we come to the high schools and uh it's a it's just a big adjustment and it takes time uh to establish yourself at the school with the kids to earn their respect to show uh for me to show them that I care about that's a key uh but it um it's an I say it's an adjustment because those uh AI that came in had a difficult time adjusting and they left within the year um sergeant major Humphrey is my current um AI he has a unique background in Special Forces um he's an expert in uh Marksmanship and he's hit the ground running as far as um taking advantage of the indoor air rifle range that we have I mentioned drill
198does not offer scholarships Marksmanship does and uh the fact that we can take advantage of the experience that sergeant major Humphrey has and capitalize on that resource that's in that room and doesn't exist anywhere else in uh the district is a real asset to our Cadets uh they would not be exposed to that uh usually when you think of Marksmanship you think of a rural community and uh having served in the military that was something that I had to work on it was not something my family did when on the weekends so Marksmanship is also a very important aspect of military service I do want to say this um joining the military is not the goal I have for all of our Cadets sometimes it's just not a good fit um but there are executive
199functions skills that we offer in our a curriculum we are a character building uh course um all of our Cadets are required to memorize the cadet Creed which is a standard bearer of their behavior and anytime they're out of order I always refer to the cadet Creed it's just something they can always uh lean on as far as their behavior um but joining the military is not uh it's it's something that is a good fit for some and some students come into our program knowing that's what they want to do and if I see a student in our program that I think is a good fit we do push for that but I want you to understand there's some disqualifying uh things that some of our students have for example asthma asthma is a medical
200disqualifier unfortunately a disproportionate amount of my students have asthma the ASVAB test you have to get a qualifying score on the ASVAB test and medical unfortunately I've had some students with some mental health issues that were disqualifying um and they wanted to join the military uh but uh uh I provided you all with uh some documents I hope you had a chance to look over them uh the jrc is considered a CTE pathway in 30 States um Michigan's one of them Tennessee Kentucky Ohio is not uh I'm working to see if we can make that happen but uh it exists it is considered a path a career pathway and I'm proud to say that the last valedictorian in our program uh well uh lelle she actually joined the military she went to basic training in
201her junior year and after she graduated she completed AIT where she learns her job and she's currently at Wright State University uh with a plan to join the nursing program so that is jltc aligned with CTE uh because she was in our program for three years she has the advantage of receiving Advanced enlistment placement right now she is one rank higher than her peers that graduated with her just because she was in our program and that equates the $4,000 that she earns uh annually more than her those that were not in the program so there's a financial advantage uh because she was in JC uh and she uh joined the military she also qualifies for scholarships she can pretty much get a full ride to uh uh through the nursing program and Lord knows we
202need nurses so there are lots of opportunities executive functions um Advan enlistment placement it's advantageous for not only uh students that want to join the military to be in our program but also those CTE uh students they will uh learn uh executive function uh the skills that that uh many businesses uh require or look for thank you can we ask you guys some questions now cuz I know you can keep going yeah I could keep going I'm sorry yes yes yes I will open it up to our board okay I mean you come up too you might answer some questions for us let us ask you because we're discussing it with you guys not you guys just telling us stuff too okay so let me you said there was no time limit I'm sorry are
203you good evening Ward s major Humphrey just want to say okay uh are you you have question I do go ahead Mr Walker so um caralon you you mentioned space and of course major Graves and just going back third Good Marshall was one of those buildings that originally had a rltc wing That was supposed to be built and then it was scrapped from the budget then I'm familiar with that okay and then so my question more so to um Mrs Miner would be if the RC program is moved what goes into this space in the space at metale M most likely uh Advanced manufacturing uh I'm looking back at uh Chief uh Advanced manufacturing and uh the robotics program can also go in that space the space where the robotics program is as you walk
204in the door can be the vettech program and that would keep us from doing the construction for that okay so and and I just want to say we appreciate everything thing that Lieutenant Colonel Mason has said and and Master Sergeant humph and what they do Ser major s sergeant major thank you for helping me with that um and Our intention is to support and make sure they have success staying at a building where the scheduling doesn't allow for the full experience of jroc to me is a disservice of us to to do that we need to make the opportunity and I agree with Lieutenant Colonel Mason military is not for everybody but it is for some students and they do extremely well and we don't want to Short change them right now we have another
205Jr Roc program that's can go full full experience those kids aren't shortcutted right now the kids in metale are we're trying to set them up so they can have a full program so and the scheduling it doesn't allow but that P I couldn't get it come up but you would be able to see it so that takes me back to the course study piece so are students at metad not being offered rltc any the other Alternatives outside of PE because I'm just curious how many students are in the PE classes at metale on an average oh I don't know how many are in PE I don't I wouldn't know that off the top of my head but I do know that we it's not right for us to have a jrc program and not be
206able to allow those students to go through the whole program and get full credits and we need to make that happen if I can ask the jrtc program predates the CT yes it does so with this group who's planned it why did you guys not plan for the program to be there because it it's been through every iteration of trying to make metale programing I I don't all I know cuz I I met with Lieutenant Colonel Mason I had the same question right and she she that program was there before the building moved to Career Tech correct that was my first year on the bo they were in their yeah so when that happened not cuz for three years they changed every program and then they actually Mr Davis how long have you been in
207male that's how I measured years five years four years is a CTC three yeah okay so yes we're on our fourth year together meaning again is still at that piece here again I I like to believe that our staff is a brilliant group here I know it's a high thing there ah it was a lot for me to say too I seen see in your eyes too but that piece of it uh I don't I guess I don't understand because even a quick Google search I I also see the CTE planning for the jrcc program if you guys see the mismatches occurring why why hasn't there been an effort to figure out the puzzle here versus just saying we're going to send it to another school because kind of what I hear you saying is
208the moment we implement we did go through the puzzle we did go through the scheduling oh good what I hear you saying is once we put programming in because dumbar is a school that is greatly deficient in programming is that mean if dumbar gets programming we'll have the we'll run into the same issue again where we have a a program that no longer fits into of what we're doing no because what we will con as we're building and we'd love for you to come as we're building the pathways and the programming for each High School there'll be um actually Pathways or groups of careers and so as I explained to the junior RC team Dunbar military will be an official pathway so we're not going to put anything on top of that that's going to
209interfere what happened in their case and they didn't create it the programming came in that def that made their program not be able to complete be completed because of all the CTE programming turning that into it dumbar is not going to be a comprehensive CTE school dumbar is going to have strong Pathways and programs but it's not going to be a comprehensive SE tte school I am a little confused on what it's going to be cuz even on this presentation it had stem in there and I I thought because that's part of Junior RC again we we're jumping in to another school's programming where we're trying to get and that that only came out when cuz we contacted the uh Brigade Commander over the Ohio Junior RC's ask and he then shared with us what
210he's expecting from our program I but you see how it's not a fit cuz dumbar is not a stem school well do you see but those kids can have programming in their junior RTC program and we're building the the schools we're actually creating the pathways and building the schools why aren't you guys capable of doing it at metale because the the scheduling won't allow it at metale the scheduling there's no way in the schedule that we can fit it or it would be successful we would have more enlisted and more students in the program it's not because they don't have a good program it doesn't fit because the kids they take a couple of courses and then they have to gear off into their Career Tech and that reduces their number of students so how
211are we able to add Aviation a program as a new career Tech program but not jrc as a career Tech program because of the courses that Jr give me actual examples and I'll let Ain you want to come up and explain some of it but it doesn't make sense of we're adding like Career Tech cuz you guys are using it as a catch all which there are these different Pathways and metale alone the manufacturing program that you're talking about has been here it's left and now you want to bring it back you're talking about bringing aviation in there're like seven different programs that are on there now there is actual curriculum in there for Career Tech in jrtc I'm not understanding on where you guys are saying that if I have to if I have
212building blocks cuz most career tech programs start explain it cuz she's did let me make sure you get so a career Tex starts in sophomore year of that piece of it and then I truly don't get into into my Junior and Senior year here I I'm not understanding do we just not have the skill set to put put this in do we need someone to come help us figure that out for this type of programming because it doesn't make sense if we can if we can keep are trying to add new programs like again Aviation is the one on the table the manufacturing program we already we did try I didn't just realize that it's going on from medale even though it was on it was there at one point there's some other things that
213Dr Lawrence and I are going to look into that have gone and come back so where is our Gap here as us being able to figure out this piece I don't think there's a gap in being able to figure anything out quite honestly um metale is called metale Career Tech Center it is a Career Tech school and expanding Career Tech programming is what we should be doing in a career tech school The ROC program the way that it's set up currently is that by the time the kids get to the 10th grade or 11th grade they don't have room in their schedules to do both much like kids at Styers when they have two magnets and they get to the 10th grade often times not always often times they don't have room in their schedules
214to do both they have to pick so kids at meale are picking their pathway the piece in here about the stem programming we looked at it as an opportunity to bring something to a school that has not had any type of stem programming no drones no nothing and through jrc we can Access Equipment they will give us 3D printers they would give us all kinds of things to enhance that particular subject at d bar we already have stem program at me at Meadowdale we don't need more at Meadowdale I completely agree with you I think you need more at third good but we do I don't I don't disagree with you we need more everywhere and another thing with this manufacturing expansion is sometimes we have to capitalize on the very people who we have
215in our buildings we have a very very exciting teacher who is very well connected in the manufacturing community and we need to capitalize on his connections to expand and bring more kids into the school with every program that we add to madale we're adding enrollment which I know is a concern for the board also so not every High School will become a Career Tech High School um we will have Standalone Pathways and Ford NGL is going to help us develop this we think this is the best way to allow the army RC program to grow and build numbers and matriculate kids past rc2 into three and four which isn't happening currently as you can see from the enrollment I think you said a key piece in there that you have so we do have manufacturer
216in metale is that correct CU you said an expansion so yes expansion so we do have it there and I think you said a key piece about the instructor piece of it I think in the presentation we heard we heard that the principal was on board and that you guys were on board but we know that the instructor is not on board and we know similar to our agricultur program at Dumar if we lose the instructor we don't have agriculture anymore if these two decided not to be here anymore and just move on with their talents then we wouldn't have rltc at either schools I think it's the same discretion or excitement that we're giving the individual and manufacturer when you have programs that are very specific here I don't think you can ignore when
217the instructors who lead those programs don't share the enthusiasm with you to be displaced or moved on but I know some questions down there and I know I'm going come back to you go ahead first no you made well I just really want to know what's going to happen with the students that are in the RC program that's at metale well uh we haven't talked through that we have I think there were 32 kids in the first level of our OTC um in past years when programs were moved we gave kids the option to go with the program or to be transported to that program during their school day some kids took us up on that some kids did not so that would certainly be another conversation that we need to have but if you
218transported them good would that still interfere with their cteam it I why I don't anticipate that that's really going to be an issue go ahead for say for a different day oh to Nuance discussion I do see the need for increased programming at Dumar but I also see where like right now we have a full program rlt jrc at Belmont correct correct but then we also have the Dilemma that Belmont has a low number of other programming there and I think that's that give and take where I think coming up with these ideas one I really want some kind of I think doing a presentation to the community and to the board and folk here around what is this scheduling concept because I think that is a big thing around what that looks like because
219it's hard for some people to look and go well I was at Patterson and I did career I had my weeks where I went to my job and I was in RC or I was in metale I was in IB and you could still take jrc and so it's that piece of as education changes what does this whole scheduling thing look like and to be clear like even at metale we weren't we were in IB person that uh principal Davis talked about uh at um at right Pat was in IB for the most part a very low percentage of our kids ever got IB diplomas we never did the whole program and got the IB diploma but what we did get was 12 credit hours of college already done so we didn't finish these programs
220but we had a tremendous advantage on other children out of the same school because we had the program and so I think one for us and for other people when we talk about the scheduling and getting these people here it's it's one is okay we want people to get these credentials yes all right we want people to finish these things but does that guarantee success in there when I can still look and go this child who did not get to complete both of these things was my valid dictorian there last year like I was an rlt there there you go I I think I think I think that's just a thing and I'm I would say my fear is that we're not always here into your point capitalizing on people it's very easy for that
221person to go and then the programming goes correct or when something goes four of us five of us change and then the direction changes and so cuz I we've seen it like we've seen Dr Lawrence was the principal at third Bill Marshall it was a stem school it was a stem School you you were not there things Chang board priorities change they lost a lot of they lost every single program almost over there and so it's that piece of how do we get to thinking and fleshing out all of these things of okay where will these kids go what is this that we can get here how do we get these programming here because I would hate for something to move grow then gets ripped out and then we spend five six years trying to
222get people to even trust going the third Good Marshall and now we have my brother right here helping us out with that cuz you carrying that third Good Marshall Banner proudly and I appreciate it but that was a real thing thir Good Marshall went from being a school where people were doing these St things until the point where we didn't even call it a stem school anymore it even had jrc and they had jrc so I think that's I think giving that clear picture would help me see all these things and the the the consternation that's going on and I think for us it's that piece of like just finding out and going oh we're hearing this is going to happen and the first time we hear it's going to happen there's already a conflict
223in there and so now as a board we're trying to figure out both sides of the conflict and seeing what is the most successful path so I think just being able to get that information for me would be great you got it to me just in closing I look at this as an opportunity that we're creating for dumbar can I I see nothing but but benefits for them yeah but that's always a hard thing that you're taking something from someone to give something to someone else like that's me taking away from Walker to give to Bailey I did something great for him but I screwed him in the process go ahead so two uh two questions can can I respond to that go ahead take it and make it what we're proposing will help both
224schools it's not going to pull away from one school and have them have a gap it's going to help both metale students and dumbar and that's what we're doing we never want to do something to hurt a school and so medale is going to have enhanced programming when we move uh jrc to dumbar dumb Bar's programming is going to be enhanced it's going to help both School communities I don't want anybody to get confused and think we're taking something away we're not doing that we're building up on all of our high schools and we strongly encourage all of you to stop by uh Central State Dayton tomorrow from 8:30 to 11:30 when the families and the community people will be helping us with this uh development and you're exactly right things change as leadership Chang
225the one reason Dr Lawrence and I feel so strongly about Ford NGL is they've had multiple superintendents multiple school boards and still have strong programming in place that's how we're establishing it we're not trying to take away from one school or the other we want to support the teams and I I understand we we want to work with our instructors and support them 100% And that's not happening because of the restrictions of the scheduling challenges at metale we can help both medale and Dunbar will they have the same um areas will they still be able to have the same area that they have at me medale as far as their offices the UN yeah so I I yeah great question we we've already invited um the head of J RC for Ohio he's coming from
226Fort Knox Kentucky tomorrow to visit Dumar to make sure but I did visit we visited Dumar and and principal Bailey has three different spaces and an office because I I heard Lieutenant Colonel Mason I need an office I need the yeah she's got an office and three different spaces and he's going to give us advice on what works best for the jrc program so they'll be a to store the uniform they'll also have a rain well there's three different spaces and then he will walk us through and give us recommendations on what would work best for jrc my other question is how fast will the other when if they were to move over to dumbar then how quick will um the uh Advanced manufacturing the advaned manufacturing will is that for yeah they'll be getting
227the room set up but it has already been approved it's already part of the CTE approval so that transition will happen well we can come back with a timeline on that yeah I'd like to know the timeline timeline thank you we we we don't we're so we're no longer we're no longer teachers everybody in the team was teachers and when you're a teacher it's it's about you and your space we don't we're not teachers anymore so our job is to think about the totality of the district we no longer have the luxury of thinking about just ourselves and so that's what we're trying to present a comprehensive framework around how we're moving the entire District forward from a 712 or in particular 912 Master scheduling perspective and I think to your point Mr Smith we'd
228be happy to have that conversation in public and give some public presentations around the complexities around it and the idea around how these things are interconnected and interwoven again we don't have the luxury of thinking about just ourselves in a room it's about the entire District this okay I I asked the question too with with with dumbar so do you even know if the kids the students I hate to call them kids but students there would even go into the RC program um I'm sure there will be some uh do I know the exact number uh uh principal Bailey knows her student population better than I do she's coming from RT background having had those benefits from university colleges and all that similar to uh lieutenant colonel's background and so she's very she's very she's
229very capable of promoting another thing I wanted to share that a lot of people that wasn't years ago it's now a graduation pathway that's new you know in the last five to seven years so we've not even promoted it that way as hey in enlistment in the military is a graduation pathway can I add to inad the yes B come on up colon Mason I just want to clarify so if a student does High School RTC and then if a student goes to college then they also get in like the opportunity to then enlist as an officer because of the history of the enlist well you commission as an officer you enlist as a soldier yeah but with going to college still off of RTC academically and things like that yes absolutely okay and that's
230what I'm encouraging uh leel the recent the the recent valedictorians in our program to do when their right State okay absolutely principal Bailey nice toet you so principal Bailey have you have you had any students who have expressed interest in having an rltc program at denor uh this is a new conversation that I've been in the last couple weeks um so on our scheduling sheets we have just put it on there and I've asked our counselors within the next two weeks before we go on break to start having those conversations in the classroom so that we can get a number of how many students are interested in it okay um so there is no exact number at the moment because it wasn't a finalized thing for me to say hey let's do this I I'd
231like to just know you know later on how many students would even be interested in having the program at dumball um cuz right now I think everybody's talking about it but nobody's asked the students even if they want it there and if you got most of the students to say no then I I don't I really don't know where we go go from there but okay thank you thank you go ahead Mr Walker so pres Bailey I just want to ask so last year um the board had approved an agreement to add a new program at dumbar which replace it took out choir from Dumar so now with that space being occupied by I believe the partnership is with ketering health or Premier one of the two what's the enrollment like with that change with
232just last year to now for the kering health program yeah like is student was students interested in it are students really like treat we had about 12 students that did that program it was a smaller one they had to apply the year before um and we also used that space for the photomy and we had 12 students who completed the photomy program as well in that same space okay so on average a new program coming in in the first year is going to have about 12 kids that's actually potentially this was a Junior and senior only for the ketering health and photomy okay or mainly mainly seniors for photomy so it was a limited number that we could put in okay thank you and then to go back to um M SM thank you for
233providing this on here it shows elective for 9th 10th 11th and 12th grade as other elective so it's rltc not considered one of those other electives so in order to get there well can there's two sheets this is if everything goes perfectly and a student is on track if you scroll down excuse me to the next page yep stop right there our kids um often times are assigned to reading Labs math Labs perhaps they have an English learner course that they need a foundations course that they need perhaps they need a learning lab because they're on an IEP so these course planners were created for each school one when everything goes perfectly and the other when students start to get off track a little bit this depicts currently a lot of our students and as
234you scroll down to grades 11 and 12 you you can see uh I don't know why that got cut off by the 12th grade the 11th grade and the 12th grade you can keep scrolling it's on the next they are barely able to meet their graduation requirements so on the if you can scroll back up in that little bit more in that fine print right there don't have my glasses on but I believe it says freshman seminar meets the career course requirement for graduation correct what else meets that requirement that class just that class class and if they miss it there is a College and Career Readiness class that's offered okay is that by that pathway standard or board standard or what is that off of that because we just created that freshman seminar this
235year um that is Bard policy they have to have a career course to graduate got it so can RTC be considered well the board can change a policy to then add RTC as a career course if needed right yes yeah okay so second part and colon Mason I will go back to you for this part mhm um if my memory serves me correctly you were at third Good Marshall before correct the program at thir Marshall got taken out correct I was told we weren't stem okay and then now you're at meale and me now I'm being told I'm not CTE okay I'm just saying so and and again history serves me correctly at the same time Dr Lawrence when you were principal and we had RTC at third Good Marshall we have went above you
236and wrote to the superintendent because not on your in but because changes were being made where first sergeant Brown was being out and they were moving the other first sergeant over from metale so it was again met of losing out on the program then and change over all over again and that's just me history-wise so I'm I'm just I guess I'm curious on one we already provide trailers at Kaiser because Styers is over capacity and now we're looking to continue that even more two we have not talked to students in the district about this when everything that all of the single staff say is students are first in this sense that's not the case third part is you want to move a program from one building where you're not even offering clearly the other alternative
237that you offer in the course catalog really the PE alternative so I'm just curious of where do we fix where our systems are not communicating with one another before making a change like this and then the second part of that would be why wait until the end of the year if you knew beforehand that you were going to have this program program coming apart as far as the M Engineering program or the vet program like we're we're in March and here down on recruiting for the program yeah because of this timing I'm I'm going to say that our goal is to make sure every child is successful and the reason we looked at this is because when we looked at the numbers they're not able because of the scheduling challenges to complete this program Army
238RTC at metale there there needs to be a full opportunity for students to have a full program at dumbar and that's what we're recommending uh we talk to students all the time I'm not sure that all of our students understand the benefits and the full um and we'll obviously promote it at dumbar I think we at the District level and at the schools need to talk about military as a career more now when we do we don't want them shortcut it we want to make sure it's a full comprehensive program some of the things we just found out about when we talked to the gentleman from Fort Knox the officer from Fort Knox but did you talk to our District staff first before the fort well we talked to Lieutenant Colonel Mason and we talked
239to her honestly about the challenges we had a very good conversation and and I the question was can dumb bars the building because of the space handle it and that was our discussion so my my last question would be this team has been in place now for about three years when when did the conversation occurred Junior RC no Dr Lawrence is in you all team oh this our second year going into the year three though like inter business manag and we're looking at programming everywhere so this won't be we're talking about how do we things so all buildings have capacity to make sure students have choices that's what this is about so my my last piece on this is we we cannot have five C's and one of them is communication if we don't communicate
240well we're we we did communicate we communicated not like this cuz honestly to me and this is just me personally we had a legislative breakfast and an elected official said we want to thank you all for metor RTC and the work that they do and then two minutes later as a board we s an email about moving rltc so that was a slap in the face hearing convers sure appreciate which we all do appreciate metal Dell's jrc he has no idea that due to scheduling kids aren't able to finish the program and I'm sure community members would be success uh supportive of providing setting students and the program up for success that's what we're do talking about good that's what we're talking about setting them up for success I have a couple more questions for
241you lieutenant colonel sent us a couple things that I just forwarded when she actually proposed the actual career pathway piece have you guys looked at that at all and career CTE is not I mean the there is jrc for Ohio is not a CTE pathway but we will have Pathways that are non CTE at the other high schools and that's the reason and we wanted to be a career plan for a student which is why we knew we needed to move it to a school where it could be a full career plan I understand everything you said I'm just asking if you guys looked at the proposal that they gave you when did she send it I just got to day I just forward it to you guys but I'm sure I'll look at it
242we will look at it we are open to that I'm going to say that's my ask for you because we open to that even though we're in our fourth year at CTC at metale it is still our lowest enrolled High School like Harrison Township is a challenging area for us it's a reality it has more programming than third good and Dumar but third good and dumbar have a higher population by 100 students to both of them so the programming itself isn't our issue I don't know what our issue is there in that piece I will say with this piece on again I saw in the presentation and I talked to Dr Lawrence if we want to put rltc at Dumar I think we should go find take the two-year process here and get the instructor
243and put them in that place because honestly RTC is really good if we had more than one I think all of our high schools should have it it just instill something differently than you as at least four of us I've heard say up here we were part of the RTC program command that's not really saying a lot about you Mr Walker cuz you be ignoring all the discipline from the training there I think you forgot the that Creed all the way so so but that but we will look at lieutenant colonel Mason what she presented to see if it's a way cuz our goal is for her and all the people the cadets to be sucess I mean that's that's the that's it I think that's the key right there like I I hear what
244you guys are saying it doesn't fit in the schedule is Chief dly the only one who can do the schedule because if we need some help to see if there's a possible way for this to be a success here mainly I think you're too short of a timeline from today March what's today the 11th March 11th to the fall right there to uproot a whole program and then droping another school when we haven't talked to students we haven't we haven't exhausted to ensure that it's the best fit I get that you guys are saying a b and c but a b and c don't seem to necessarily be the absolute truth they're just what you believe is best in this moment of time so with that piece of it right there I'm asking that you
245guys look at the pathway plan that was actually presented there in that piece in the same way we have students who graduate from Styers without magnets we have kids at our other schools who graduate without finishing their CTC program if we have a CTC program that's not the state of Ohio that is no different than some of our current practices that are happening at high numbers here at this point but I feel like there there's a way to collaborate because again this will be the third move for this instructor I don't want to lose the instructor in a piece of a program because we aren't doing our due diligence to figure it out I say the same thing to Athletics where we give them 30% participation go we push the athletic directors to go find
246the kids help them un want to be a part of these things I think that's no different than the administrative staff the counseling staff the instructors and the team right there of getting these children in the program and being able to show them the pathway forward of what this program can do I don't think the highest measurement of success is that you enlist in the Army it is not it is something that is for you and it is in you you are going to do that if it is not you are not and when you go to college you may see some things that change you and at least get you to the Reserve I I've also asked in this presentation what's the numbers at Belmont I have no idea how many people do that
247when they leave there but again I think that is a personal decision that is a real commitment that I cannot measure a 18yearold when they leave high school that that is the piece of them goes beyond but I do want this I want us to move forward in a way that again we have a lot of programs that are that are based on the instructors themselves when they leave us or if they leave us and we have't put the due diligence in to work cuz I heard a lot about an external individual that were asking about the space at Dumar and these things like that that person doesn't work here the two behind you do now if you're collaborating with them in that piece of it and it is making sense which we wouldn't be
248having this discussion at all if they were they felt like this was something that was beneficial to the program those are real individuals in this district and they are really the same way if we snatched you today and said today you are now over Transportation it would be an adjustment I mean it would be a jarring thing because it's again a shift of something of there would be no uncovered routes no this Min be out she' be like that is not what I'm doing I can just see her and bus dri and and and we we did they they are invited to tomorrow they they are invited the same way you're asking them to look at what you guys are proposing look we'll take a look at it and Miss du is not the only
249schedule we'll take a look at it we'll look about see that thing let's see if we can help you guys figure this out cu that's the ultimate ultimately we W we'll synthesize this information and get back with you can I ask one go ahead Mr B um I just want to say we do have Juniors that are currently in CTE that are doing very very well in CTE and doing exceptionally well in in our program as well there are some of our top leaders in the program that's what I was going to ask you to like um because you have uh more students in the fresman year and stuff like that in the first part are you losing students to C I believe that's what happened with the seniors uh we um yeah I believe
250that's what's happening with the seniors okay um Co kind of threw a curveball because camp summer camp is big motivator for them to matriculate to the next uh level of Roc and when that is cancelled it kind of and then CTE you know we just need to keep the momentum going and I want to also say in maybe RC who we went toot boot camp do you guys go to boot camp as well uh we it's called Uh J it's called jclc jrtc Cadet Leadership Camp is that still wa and uh right now we go to a a Boy Scout camp north of uh akan is that do you still do that with Troutwood as well oh yes TR all the all the J Army jotc programs in the state go to that there's about
25120 plus schools that go at the same time it's very uh very meaningful to the kids and it it just creates a right momentum and they step up I want to also ask um enlistment came up how many uh students in list I'm curious as to how many uh CTE students actually pursue a career in that respective CTE program so um yes get so I want to say all right thank you any other questions no we good thank you hello neighbor Dr laen can we get that in this information we get back haven't got graduated yet yes we have this is your father no no he I think he said four five man ramp up four you're five when they graduate look at the other schools too pursuant to sex oh my bad there one
