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 phenominal 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's 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 produce a skit from the movie so we're really excited it'll be um next Friday February 28th Why Should 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

019sets of pairs as you know bus then we have classroom and then sometimes we have them just floating in the building if they happen to be that person that dispenses whoever gives a medicine we're trying to make sure they get paid that's what that boils down to okay so they just get extra pay correct okay Mr Smith did you have any other questions no I'm good I'll I'll bring it up later I had some things in budget but it was nothing on this piece my question is more so into the males and females of color as they've been told that they do not have the budget for some pieces which I'll bring up outside here in our meeting with them um no problem at all I would take that question outside do do you know
020who told him that wasn't me well they were told that they couldn't post the position that they wanted to post and they're down to seven uh male mentors throughout the whole District gotcha we talk all right all right all right I recommend the approval of the following board member expenses as listed so much moov by Miss Wick second by Mr Lacy any questions or comments seeing none may we have a vote president yes Dr Bailey yes Mr Lacy yes Mr Smith yeah Miss rard yes Mr Walker yes Miss Wick yes seven yes all right next I actually we have a resolution on here based on some incidents that occurred to us Dr Lawrence can you just give us a quick little background on what happened over this past weekend uh absolutely I received a call
021at 10:30 on Friday night that Dumar was possibly going to be have to Forfeit uh their game after defeating Eaton because a player from Deca uh played for about 22 seconds during that game we were not made aware that the player had been expelled from school so the player was academically eligible eligible but had been expelled from Deca so we not contacted by Deca and uh we attempted during the weekend and early this week to get a temporary protection order uh to stop the next game from occurring so that we can have dumbar play uh because we didn't think uh we didn't think that was fair but uh the way it happened we also had a a meeting on Sunday uh with all the players and their families and extended families and it was very
022very very emotional um they were devastated that they weren't going to be able to go further so we tried legally we called ohsaa and we were not able to get in front of that and then uh through the efforts of the board uh primarily you working with legal uh to help draft this we we from an administrative standpoint support it 100% uh based on the damage to our kids and just for those who don't know is I'll go ahead and read it just give you guys the time so this is a resolution to temporarily prohibit the participation of non DPS enrolled students including Community Charter student school students in dat in public schools ENT Scholastic Athletics beginning spring 2025 until further notice whereas the Dayton Public School Board of Education seeks to promote the participation
023of its enrolled students in inter Scholastic Athletics and ensures that no athletic opportunities are denied to enroll students and whereas the lack of proper reporting and verification procedures regarding the eligibility of non-dps enrolled students including Community Charter School students has resulted in unfair disadvantages for the Dayton public schools enr students and whereas in order to ensure Equitable participation it is necessary to establish clear and consistent eligibility procedures before permitting non DPS enrolled students including Community Charter School students to participate in day and public schools inter Scholastic Athletics and whereas it shall be the responsib ibility of non DPS school administration including but not limited to Community Charter Schools to work in collaboration with Dayton public schools to develop and Implement procedures that provide DPS with adequate And Timely knowledge of non DPS students eligibility status
024ensuring compliance and with all academic disciplinarian and residency requirements now therefore be a resolve that beginning with the spring 2025 season the Board of Education temporary prohibits the participation of non DPS and en Ro students including Community chared School students in DP da Public Schools inter Scholastic activities dat Public Schools inter Scholastic Athletics until further notice be it further resolved that the burden shall be placed on nond DPS school administration to initiate and maintain communication with Dayton public schools in order to establish eligibility procedures that align with DPS standards and ensure Fair participation be it further resolved that the Board of Education suspends any policy to the contrary including but not limited to policy igd k- R-3 as it pertains to Pro permitting non DPS enroll students including Community Charter School students to participate in
025inter Scholastic a Athletics be it further resolved that the Board of Education directs the superintendent business manager and chief of Athletics to oversee the development of these procedures in collaboration with non DPS school administration and to take any necessary action to enforce this resolution be it further resolved that this resolution shall remain in effect until further notice unless the Board of Education takes formal action to remove or modify this prohibition I move that we adopt this resolution second are there any comments questions for the floor I got a question go ahead when you called did you contact the school that that student went to and why did they contact us the principal contacted the principal of Deca and uh the reason uh given was that the administrator was out wasn't in the building I think
026was out on on leave and so I guess that's where the Gap was there I called the superintendent uh of of deca and he didn't reiterate that story but he just said that hey we weren't contacted and but that he would be more than willing to work with us to develop uh rules and protocols to be able to make sure that this didn't happen again so we talked to the principal talk to the superintendent thank you m Mr Smith being nicer than you really have he is he is being nice I just want to be able to say but um to really go into that I think part of that is that lack of communication and not only the lack of communication but then the owners being placed on the parent and student to deliver
027those messages that was the other piece that was given was that the expectation was that that that student and that parent would be the one to notify the school of their enrollment status I think that is where my issue comes is that we're we're pushing off the duties um and I think that's that's just it's not right because it puts people in a bad situation and it puts parents and community members in the spaces of having to be whistleblowers when that should be a a district to District communication so appreciate you being the nice guy right there but I didn't want to say that just had had put that out there I'm sorry no worries do we know how many students this will impact uh I think there are 11 or 12 basketball players on
028the team uh that will not oh oh got you moving forward yeah and the reason I asked that is if if this is not resolved with those charter schools by Spring what would then be that effect those fall Sports and those numbers as well uh let me rattle them off real quick flat football track um softball baseball I would say the number of athletes that are coming from Charters that participate maybe a few dozen okay through all those Sports I'm just is it is it primarily one specific school like that specific school students or is it various other charter school students in this case it's one school but we've had issues before in the past um and I think uh you know we had a legislative breakfast I mean lunch in the other day and
029the conversation around transportation and Charters came up and there was Universal agreement among I I think uh the 16 superintendants um I actually I said hey Transportation it would be great if they had their own buses uh and transported their own kids uh so that we didn't have to do it I guess the next step after that is given some of the issues we having in athletics what about your own gym your own coaches and your own players um because we really shoulder the burden for that okay thank you no problem I think this I I mean I just think it needs to be said that this is just an example of how the legislature is is quick to to uh respond to the the requests of the school Choice Movement uh without considering um
030the effects on on I mean respond to their requests at the expense of traditional Public Schools like Dayton public schools without considering the effects on on our students Mr Smith I appreciate that Mr Lacy I would say on top of that it highlights the fact that through OSHA nonpublic and Charters actually have more choice in in participation um as it stands now if a child goes to a charter school they have the opportunity across the state to participate in different sports whereas if a child is in a public school here and we do not offer that support at that school then they do not have the participation ability um this is something that was brought up at OSHA multiple times there was two votes recently in the last few years that stopped that so um
031I definitely think there is a a big discrepancy there where technically the the students in public schools namely urban districts do not have the same ability to participate in um these kind of athletic opportunities as students in Charter districts as um as Illustrated here so um I'm just I'm just glad that there are some eyes on these things unfortunately we've seen some some of the votes that I don't think it's going to change without actions from districts so I'm glad that we're in this space where we're talking about these things because that is the reality that it goes along and it's hand in hand with school Choice Movement so I appreciate Mr Lacy bringing that up thank you thank you all right any other comments I do want to say that although the hope that
032we were hoping for is that our team could have been back in because it is unfortunate to watch children who go an entire season be dis qualified for a technicality that had no impact whatsoever on their wom because they they were they won by 20 plus points is that correct so 22 seconds the game they would have played would have been a battle the city I don't know version North but that that piece of it that is there there's not much we can do there that is outside our jurisdiction we don't have the control over that one I want those families and those students to know that the board of education does support and we are trying to actively make sure this doesn't happen again and this resolution is a step in us doing just
033that putting more protection for you all and us doing what we can with the power of the pen and and empowering our administrative staff to do what they need to do to protect your future endeavors there are no other comments may we have a vote presidental good way yes Dr Bailey yes Mr Lacy yes Mr Smith yeah Miss rard yes Mr Walker yes Miss Wick yes sevenes there anything else before we adjourn um yes like were we not doing what we initially had called the special meeting for that's correct it was requested to be removed so it was removed I I don't think that was the request okay go ahead what would you like to say floor is yours I mean were were we all prepared to move forward with voting on it I I
034never received a call said that it was going to be pulled like there was no further discussion on it they don't they don't call you for that they call the board president and actually went to our legal department so that's why you didn't receive the call okay so are we able to you can put whatever you want out there Mr Walker go ahead well did is it better going to Executive session and talk to Madam treasure H I'm not going to the executive session because I didn't plan for a long meeting but if you wanted to put it on the floor again you need a second and you need people to go with you Mr Walker go ahead so you're not willing to do I'm telling you where I am but again if you would
035like to do something otherwise I'm going to call for a motion to adjourn because legal is handling that part now I have question people you sit next to if we are not doing that are we planning to have any meetings or any discussions before March 1st at this point you go you both are asking about contract negotiations and that is with our legal department at this point so I'm not planning on anything but if you guys have something that you want to put out there this is your moment I cannot answer any questions about the intent of the the body here I mean [Music] I I'm willing to put it out there because I mean if we're going to to do it we either do it or we don't do it that's correct so I
036would move to approve um the treasurer's extension if there's I will move uh put a motion on the floor to approve for extension I'll second it's moved in second are there any questions seeing none may we have a vote president good way I'm going to say no because I don't know the terms of it the one that was pull off go ahead continue okay Dr Bailey I'm also going to say no okay Mr Lacy yes Mr Smith yes Miss reinard no um Mr Walker yes M wig no four no three yes motion to adjourn so moved have second maybe we have any questions a Dr good one that's all it was what's all right maybe we have a roll call ineffective Department recommendations what we president good Wayne yes Dr Bailey yes Mr Lacy yes
037Mr Smith yeah M rard yes Mr Walker Mr Walker I'll say yes and payback is coming Miss we take that how you got it seven yeses [Music] because the meeting was called for her contract so you shouldn't have had this meeting
