001Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. N. Good to go. I will call the November 18th Lanesville Community School Board of Trustees meeting at 7 o'clock in the cafeteria. That was a call to order. The second item is the pledge to allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Board members, you have received the agenda in advance of tonight's meeting. You have had time to review, research, and consider the matters to be voted on tonight. Board members, do you have any questions or concerns to be addressed before we proceed? >> Mr. Chairman, before you call a motion on all the meeting minutes, I think they're all together on the executive meeting from 10:21. The topic
002says interviews and negotiations with commercial industrial prospects. I believe that meeting was centered around approving or going over the final negotiations on the contract and some other legal stipulations and had nothing to do with the topic listed as the meeting. >> Okay. And that was uh >> the executive session for 2021. >> Okay. 1021. Okay. >> Okay. Any other concerns? >> Okay. The uh third item is the approval of minutes from the October 21st and 29th board meetings. Could I have a motion and second to approve? >> So move. >> I'll second it. >> Any discussion? If not, all those in favor say I. >> I. >> Oppose. Same sign. Motion passes. Okay. The next item is number four, the approval of claims for the month of November. Could I have a motion and second
003to approve? >> Oh, just a second. October 21st, 2025 on the executive session, there was no mention of that. It was collective bargaining, >> right? That >> the minutes off. >> Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Yeah, they're talking about the agenda. Thank you. >> No, no, they didn't say. >> Thank you for that clarification. >> The minutes need to be changed. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, the minutes need to be changed on that and we voted for that. Okay. Um, the approval of claims for the month of November. Could I have a motion and second to approve? >> I so move. >> I'll second. >> Any discussion? >> If not, all those in favor say I. >> I. >> Oppose. Same sign. Motion passes. Next item is principal report. Who wants to go first? >>
004Hello everyone. Um, with this being November, we just wanted to take a minute to be thankful for our partnerships that we share. So, um, we just really wanted to talk a lot about our parents and our support. We just left a PTSO meeting, so we were rushing from one meeting to the other. Um, and just the excitement about all the upcoming activities and fundraisers and the celebrations that we've had. Um, we also want to thank our staff um, for their passion and dedication. We have launched some amazing things this year. our tutoring program. We don't have quarter two numbers, but the amount of time that our assistants and teachers have stayed after to work with kids um has just been a great addition this year. Um we're also grateful for our students and the positive
005learning environments we create together. Our student council just finished um they had a wonderful pumpkin palooa and just the new um energy and new ideas that are coming from our students has just been fun to watch as that's taken shape. Um we've had a lot of opportunities to come together. school community and this is the season of holidays and Thanksgiving and we just have so many more activities in the next 17 school days. It's a whirlwind of fun and holiday cheer and a little holiday crazy. Um but it's just a great time to be at the elementary. So um kicking off this week um our first ever November 21st um our high ability program is doing our Lanesville local 100 miles to harvest. Um, and so we've had a guest teacher come in and work
006with our high ability kids to learn about farmtotable. Um, our community is so important to us. And so within a 100 mile radius to see the products and produce and um, just um, meat and dairy and just flowers and honey and all the things that our community um, contribute. And you know, like on our sign it says small community, big world. And what a better way to show that within a 100 miles um it might seem like a small farm, but look at the impact um just on um agriculture and environment and all of those things. So, we're super excited on Friday um where all of our kids are going to come. They have a presentation ready. They're going to bring some samplings of those foods. We're going to highlight some of the local farms
007and the local um areas. And I mean, I think it's just going to be a great opportunity to tie all that together on the 21st at 8:30. Um, we also have our second annual um, spirit night on December 1st. Um, last year was a huge hit. I know many in the crowd were amongst um, the participants, but all of our elementary kids get to come. We have our own cheer block. PTSO partners with us. We give prizes away. Student council partners with us. It's going to be pizza night. So, you don't have to cook. That's a win. Um, and it's just a great way for our kids and our teachers to come out. Last year we had representatives from almost every single grade level, assistants, office staff, and everyone here to celebrate with our kids.
008Um, and it was just a great event. So, that is December 1st. Um, and then just a couple other things I know we're going to talk a lot about. Um, ELF, it's the season of giving. So, thank you in advance for all of your contributions to help our community. Um, and 80th Day of School will be fast upon us on December 5th. So, um, get out your Michael Jackson and your Cindy Looper attire and let's get ready to dance on the car rider day December 5th. but we just have lots of things to celebrate. Um, a bigger selection and a bigger thanks as a shout out. It's number 17 on the agenda and that's the Harrison County Foundation grant. Um, we were able to partner with them earlier this year. Our school community came together
009for a booster walk-athon and we wanted to pledge that money to special areas and and not the needs but the wants. We want our teachers to dream big and we don't want funding to be a limitation. So, we asked our special area teachers to dream big and Karen Armstrong, she did. She delivered. Um, she wants to do nine square. And I don't know if any of you guys have played that. It's kind of like tic-tac-toe toe in the sky and you have to bounce the ball in between. But those that game is $1,800. And so, that's a big dream. I mean, like, you know, when we're trying to offset everything. So, um, we actually partnered ship and we wrote a grant and the Harrison County Foundation met our match. And so we're actually purchasing one
010of those through the Booster Walkathon and we're getting one. So coupon, discount, celebration, foundation, however you want to say it. It was just a great opportunity for those funds to be matched and for our greater good to just be a little bit broader. So anyway, we have lots of things going on. So thank you guys. >> Good evening. Um, I will keep my comments brief this evening. I know we have a lot of things to get through. Um, we are at the the season of thanks. Um, I just want to say thanks again for all of the support that we get through the community. Um, for those that are listening at home or that have children in this in this school, I say it all the time. I'll say it every time I if I
011can. Um, the Lanesville kids are I would put them against any other kids on planet Earth. Um, and a lot of that has to come from from from parental support. Um, so thank you guys for that. Um, we had our Veterans Day program this past um, week on Veterans Day. I want to say a huge thank you to Darcel Mlan and Leslie Holddridge for helping organize that. It's obvious the amount of work that they put into that. There's artifacts the kids can go up and look at um, from different branches of the military and it's really cool. You can see the kids are really engaged with that. We had our elf dance this past weekend and the weekend before that was the junior high dance that was put on by the PTSO. So, thank you
012PTSO for that. Um, for the junior or for the senior high dance. Um, thank you again for Darcel MLAN. She has a a club that does decorating. Um, and so they decorated these halls. Uh, the theme was masquerade. Those kids had an awesome time. Um, it's awesome. We had uh Megan Hodgej, Jason Hudson, Megan Apple, and Mary Simco. I want to say thank you to them for help chaperon that event. It's really nice to know that we can hold events like that and have good chaperones that can help facilitate like you don't we're not worried about it at all. We have a few things coming up. ELF kickoff begins next Tuesday, the 25th. There was a notice sent out via email for K through2 families. If anybody's interested in um applying to that program, you
013have until December 1st to get that application completed. Um our first boys game against our official game will be against Cordon on the 28th at Cordon. Our first home game will be boys home game will be December 5th against Bordon. So, I'm excited to see these guys out playing. I hear the coach in there screaming at them pretty hard all the time. So, looking forward to uh some good basketball. And then uh lastly, we have a band concert on the 14th and the junior senior art show is also on the 14th and I think the elementary is the next day on the 15th for both of those events. So, um that's it. Thank you'all. >> Thank you. >> Did you you said just health fundraising? >> Yes. Agenda item. Is that correct? Fundraiser for >>
01425th. So um we will add as number uh 37 will be a elf fundraiser and then that changes additional public comments number 38 and German to number 39. Okay. Uh the next item is the superintendence report. >> Yeah. And I'm going to start um and then here in just a few agenda items we're going to discuss um our HVAC agreements on the maintenance. Um, we've got some gentlemen from Alpha that are going to going to talk to you guys real quick. Um, we finally got back our air quality testing results. U shared with the board, uh, shared it with teachers union this afternoon. Uh, looking at the indicators, um, which is ironic from a couple of years ago. Um the report indicated that temperatures in most classrooms averaged in a normal range which is 68
015to 75 degrees during the the study period. That was in September. So that was one of the hot months. Um most of those classrooms, zero of 10 uh classrooms are ever too warm. Five of 10 indicated that they were too cool at times. Uh and so if you remember a couple of years ago, we couldn't keep the facility cool if we had to. Now we've got classrooms that are a little too cool. Uh but as far as the heat goes, we we were really pretty good in that. So we we put a lot of time in that, a lot of effort, a lot of money sunk into that. Uh relative humidity, uh the range that they were looking for is between 30% 55%. um three of the 10 classrooms averaged slightly higher during occupation of
016that 55% one was 57.1 56.5 and 55.4 so just a tick higher um matching that with the lower uh temperatures uh they didn't feel that it was um really conducive for molds mildews those kinds of things. One area that we do really need to focus on is carbon dioxide in the building. Um, we have had a conversation with Alpha. As soon as we got this, we reached out to them knowing that we were going to have these discussions here. Um, carbon dioxide levels. Um, the the optimal range is between 700 and 1,000 parts per million. Uh, all classrooms averaged over the 10,000 parts per million. What is happening is is not enough air from the classroom is being flowed outside of the building. And so you can see on on a chart it shows throughout
017the day if nobody's in it's really really low. Whenever the building gets occupied you can see it climbing towards the end of the day then it's it's peaked pretty high. Uh so we need to get that taken care of really pretty quickly. Um what it says is is that um at levels above 1,000 parts per million air becomes stale and less comfortable to breathe. So, that's an area that we know uh that is our top priority to to get fixed off of that. Um here in just a minute, I'm going to have Mr. Hancock show something for everybody on the screen. We are working with Pro Media on a series of videos to highlight Lanesville Community School Corporation. The first one has a couple of alumni uh that most of you will probably recognize, Mr.
018Greg Rickstro and Dr. Vince Stiller, uh, who are very proud Lanesville alumnists. And, uh, I know my brother lives in Noblesville, Indianapolis. And I would get, every year during basketball season, I get a couple of text messages or phone calls from my brother because Greg is talking about Lanesville on the radio. U, Dr. Stiller is back with us now, uh, working as our athletic trainer. Um, he has worked for Indiana University. He ran the department at West Virginia University. He educated a lot of athletic trainers that work for professional uh sports teams. Remember he showed me a picture a couple years ago uh Stanley Coup was going on and both head trainers of both teams were former students of his and they were together and sent him that picture. Uh so really really proud of
019these two uh alumni and we've got a video. Mr. Mr. Hancock is ready to go and this is the first of a series and uh we'll start highlighting the next one will be elf and then starting second semester we'll do one each seme or one each quarter to highlight the elementary and the junior senior high school. I knew from the age of five I wanted to be a broadcaster and a sports cer of of of some kind. Remarkably, uh, one of my high school English teachers and Mr. Richards had worked locally in television at WH before he became an English teacher. Having someone that kind of steer me in the right direction here was amazing. Obviously, no student radio station or television station at a place like Lanesville, but I was involved in writing the
020newspaper whenever we would decide to print it. I was heavily yearbook layout when I was a senior and those were things that kind of guided me down that path. Well, one of the things at Lanesville is is that you couldn't hide in the crowd. There wasn't enough of a crowd. You know, every teacher knew your name. Every teacher was invested into the person you're going to become. The job of high school back then and the job of high school now isn't necessarily to say, "Okay, you're going the college track." But it was to educate you and try to figure out what that career path was going to be and how are you going to help this community or whatever community you would end up in. People got to know you and people were invested in
021your success when perhaps you were going in the wrong direction. Teachers wanted to invest in getting you back on the right path or knew the people to talk with to make sure you were getting back on the right path. It's a very small school, but you get so much individual instruction in terms of from the teacher, from staff, and and so forth. And I think that's really important, the fact that you can get to know so many people within this school, your classmates, and make great friends that you might keep for a lifetime. And the camaraderie of the school, it's a very close-knit school, but it's also a very close-knit community that backs the school 110%. I think it's really important to build relationships, professional relationships, personal relationships with other people that you work with,
022students, staff, teachers, because you can learn something from everyone. And you have no idea down the road when that individual could benefit you in terms of a job, hiring process, future employment, whatever it might be. For so many years, being part of a smaller town or a smaller community was seen almost as a detriment. And I said, "No, no. I've now lived 10 years in in a larger city and I can tell you this is an advantage for you whatever you want to do in life. And I'm not sure that'd be possible if I didn't grow up here and have the educational foundation I had here at Lanesville. Uh like to thank Mr. Hancock. He put a lot of work in with our partners at Pro Media uh getting all that set up, getting all
023that together. Um, it's a wonderful, wonderful tool for us. Um, what Dr. Holder alluded to out front and a lot of things that we do, we talk about being a small community with a worldclass education. That's the worldass education. The next video will focus on the small community and that is our ELF program and giving back. Uh, and so that's a good way to kick this campaign off before we move into the individual buildings. So, I wanted to make sure I highlighted that. Um, one thing that I am throwing out to our community, we've got one position that we are needing to fill extremely quickly if possible. Really, it's two positions. We've got an individual that we need to transport three days a week from Cordon Elementary back to their home. Uh, roughly 11:00 on
024Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Have to have two people to do it. Uh, we'll train you how to drive a midb if anybody's interested. If anybody is interested or know somebody who might, please contact Miss Carrie Similar, uh, HR director here at Lanesville Community Schools, area code extension 362. Again, we need two people to do that. That is a a paid position. Uh, a short little bit of time would be great for a couple retirees, maybe. Uh there's one student that we have to get transported during that time around 11:00 from Cordon to their home which is just west of Lanesville on Highway 62. Um one thing I want to share with you guys uh our Lanesville Community School Corporation administrative uh leadership team is diving head first into what is called uh six types of working
025genius. Uh we spent a lot of time this morning um and the last few days taking an assessment figuring out how we and it's not really a personality uh assessment. It's a working conditions assessment. Uh there are six traits and it and it indicates to us the two that are most optimal for us. The two that are in the middle and and the two what are called working frustrations. Um and it's really interesting. We started today looking at what our assessment said, what the scores were, how we work well together, who's got what traits, and when you go through them, they all make sense. Uh, and you you go through them, you think, "Oh, yeah, I see that in that person." And yeah, in myself, I see that. And there's no right and there's no
026wrong. Really, what it is is these are the things that I enjoy. These are the things that give me energy and make me want to come to work every day. These are the things that make me want to go do something else. These are the things that I cannot stand. somebody else may really really like them. So, how can we look at things? How can we lean on each other to help not only get through those times? Because we all have to do a little bit of those things, but also how can we be a better team and help pick up the things that we really, really enjoy or that give us joy or that we think we do well. How can we pick up a little bit more of that when somebody else can
027maybe pick up some of the slack on the things that we're not as strong in? Uh, and this isn't a one-time deal. Uh, I had conversations over the last several months with a lot several superintendents. Uh, and this assessment is used in hiring of leadership positions, uh, and, um, as a tool to help kind of figure out, okay, I think I will work well with this person. I know that I have this deficit. Looks like they have this strength to help kind of pair, but then also you bring it back and circle back to it as you go through um, either PDS or administrative meetings or um, just meetings with each other and you learn those traits about each other. So, I wanted to to share that. Um, we have a teacher spotlight uh tonight.
028Miss Terodai, I think, is here. Miss Terodai is our teacher spotlight. I to give the microphone over to her. >> I love speaking. >> I think last time I did this, I was shaking the micro the podium. >> Hopefully tonight will be better. Um, good evening. As Dr. Apple said, my name is Tara Dye. Um, I have the pleasure of teaching first grade alongside Mrs. Holddridge. And each year our curriculum includes a unit that is focused on understanding what makes a community. Um, which is kind of perfect for that video that we just watched. Um, one of the highlights of this unit is introducing students to the various community helpers who play an essential role in supporting and strengthening our community. To bring this learning to life, we offer a variety of engaging engaging experiences,
029including a field trip to the Cordon Fire Department and the Oannon Nature Woods or uh Nature Center, um visits from guest speakers and a touch a truck event, as you can see on the screen over there. This touch a truck event features local first responders. These activities provide our students with meaningful hands-on opportunities that help them to connect with the people and services that help our community thrive. Um, we would like to uh extend our sincere appreciation to all of the community helpers who helped uh who contributed their time and resources to make our Touch a Truck event a success. In particular, I don't think she's here. Is Cat here? We'd like to thank um our S our SRO, Officer Catwolf. Um she does a huge part in pulling this event together. She reaches out
030to um a lot of our Harrison County first responders. So, a big big thanks to her. Um in particular, uh Jason Jason Schneider and all of the Lanesville volunteer firefighters that participated. Um, Officer John Got from the Lanesville Police Department. Detective Chris Burks, who's from the Harrison County SWAT, he brought the Bearcat, which is really cool. I think there's a picture of it up there. There's a hole in the top where the kids can climb out and peek through, and it's pretty cool experience for them. Um, and then the children's favorite, Detective Laster. She brings Scooby-Doo, who is a mastiff, I think, >> and he's hu he's like the size of a horse. He's humongous. Not really, but it seems like that next to first graders, and that is by far their favorite thing um
031to to get to meet Scooby-Doo and love on him. So, we'd like to thank all those community members for um partnering with us and thank them for all the incredible work that they do. >> Thank you, Um, that is it for the superintendent report. I do have the PTSO report. Uh, they did not have a representative that could be present tonight, so they asked if I could read that. Uh, PTSO report, junior high dance was successful and all the students had a lot of fun. Thank you to all the parents and volunteers for helping make it a memorable night. We had our Eagle Days in the high school on Halloween. Students played a game to win drinks, candy, and other snacks. Our next Eagle Day will be on December 17th. The Frost Buddy fundraiser wrapped
032up and has been submitted, hoping to receive a date soon on when they will be delivered. Currently, our spiritware shop is open. It will be closing on November the 24th. We will have our volunteer opportunities coming up for spirit night on December the 1st, the holiday shop December 15th through the 17th and car rider greeter November 25th or yeah, November 25th for Thanksgiving, December 5th for the 80s and December 20th for winter break. That concludes the PTSO report. Okay, that was number seven. Number eight is public comments related to agenda items only. Public participation policy will be in place. I did not there's nobody signed up. Is that correct? I don't see anybody. Okay. The next item is number nine. The approval of proer quarterly payments in the total sum ofund uh $179,775. You got
033any comments on that or >> Yeah, that's just what we pay pro. They get about half the ADM for all students to go. We send about every year. Uh last year was 56% of our juniors and seniors went uh but it's usually about 50%. So we just we need to make that payment. >> Okay. Do I have a motion and second to approve? >> I make a motion. >> I'll second it. >> Any discussion? If not, all those in favor say I. >> I. >> Oppose. Same sign. Motion passes. Okay. the the number 10, the approval of digital sign in the amount of $38,770 from the 2018 bond series. >> And uh this sign will go right out and and we've been working on this for about a little over a year now. Um it'll
034go right out by the gym right where the big hill is that drops down to Crest View. What it allows is it would be a two-sided digital display sign. Most schools have them when you go. We we do not. But it gives a chance to give a lot of information to parents when they sit in the car rider line forever in the afternoon or in in the morning. And then plus also when they're down at the sports fields, athletic fields, you can see it coming up Crest View from both directions. So, it's a way for us to communicate uh with the community and parents a little bit better. Uh it'll be right there on that corner kind of where the stairs go down. So, it's easily seen from from both of those sides. and it
035will come from bond money that uh is designated for such things that that has a life on it. We need to to get that on the books. >> Okay. Could I have a motion and second to approve? >> I'll make a motion. >> Can I get a second? >> I'll second it. >> Any discussion? If none, all those in favor say I. I. >> Oppose. Same sign. Motion passes. Okay. Okay, the next item is number 11. The approval of a logo L sign in the amount of 900 $9,900 from again the 2018 bond series. And where this is going is on the outside of the gym that faces Crest View that the great big just white wall um the the cursive bell that we use for everything. Uh it is a a a lit sign
036that will go right there that you can see uh from the road that you can see from the athletic fields. Um would be big just a big purple cursive bell uh be wired and and um really add to our our facility. >> Could I have a motion and second to approve? >> I'll make a motion. >> I'll second it. >> Any discussion? Dr. Apple, does this deplete all the money, unspent money from the 2018 bond series? >> Uh, no. There's still a little bit of money left in there, >> but there's specific purposes for >> Yes. And so all the bonds when when they're sold, uh, they're designated for for certain some for specific projects, but then some more broadly for technology or things like that, infrastructure facilities. >> Any other discussion? If not, all
037those in favor say I. I >> I oppose. Same sign. Motion passes. Okay. The next item is number 12, the discussion of HVAC maintenance agreement proposals. >> Yeah. Um, we knew that this is something we were going to have to tackle. And here in just a minute, I'm going to have some representatives from Alpha talk to you guys and answer some questions that you have. Uh, we ran these bids, ran it through the Wilson Center like we do a lot of things. Um, we got several bids back. Nobody comprehensive like Alpha uh Train who are the current contractor is with who we've had a lot of difficulties with. Wonderful people. All they want are the controls. They don't want any of the maintenance work on the the chillers. They don't want any of the maintenance
038work on the boilers. Things that we desperately need. Um Carrier, which was another one. Um and we've got Carrier chillers. um and train they wanted uh one year 28,680 with annual terms year 27,000 year 3 28,915 with annual terms uh that includes onsite scheduled controls maintenance digital system inspections software updates and 50 hours of help desk solution uh with with that agreement carrier only wants the chillers they didn't want anything else um that's all that they service. Uh and so that was 5-year total agreement price of 88,000. Uh that could be paid quarterly 4,400 or annually 17,600. Uh it includes one compressor replacement per year. Uh that plan would have to be combined with train or alpha uh or just alpha to do all the other work. Uh and so at that point in time,
039if you went with that with that would only include the chillers and we'd still have to open everything back. Alpha is the only one uh that said, "Yep, we can handle everything." Um and and they can give you um some details here in a minute. Uh but Alpha Energy, Chiller, Boiler, and controls. Alpha offers all three plans. Uh and we could go with a couple of different options, and they'll explain some of those to you. If we go everything alpha, um, one-year conversion cost, and that would be to change all the, um, the controls over, uh, 53, $6,944, and then after the first year, so after the the conversion, and guys, when you get up here, correct me if I'm wrong on any of this because there's a good chance I might be. Um, then
040the estimated cost is about 35,000. uh the conversion of controls to Johnson controls which are open protocol $24,9544 that's a onetime cost you only have to do it one time and then one year of controls 6,800 per year for controls and after one year uh which was compared to 28,000 from train so that's pretty good after that that conversion uh and those train controls we had a lot of difficulty with because they they couldn't run the chiller correctly so we'd have to bring alpha in and Alpha came in and did a lot of that work for us to start with uh when when things wouldn't work properly. Uh and then um chiller for one year annual $22,44 orund or 1,867 monthly. This also includes one compressor replacement per year, which is huge uh for us.
041That's what's got us back up and going and maybe too cold in the winter now. Uh, and then boilers, $5,760 annually or $1,440 quarterly. Um, one thing that when we reached out to Alpha, whenever we got the air quality testing, said, "This is what we've got." And they may be able to pipe in on this as well. They said, "Yeah, we noticed that you've got a lot of things that are uh," and they can explain a lot better than I can, but essentially the dampers were stuck and air wasn't being forced out. They said, "Yep." And I believe it was roughly around $3,000. they can can hopefully take care of that for us roughly, but they can give you all that. But when we look through all this and the reason why I brought Alpha
042in, they are the only bid that wanted everything. Um, and when you start dividing things in between companies and they have to work together on controls and then chillers and boilers, that becomes very cumbersome and complicated. Um, for me personally, when when I had to cut school out twice because we couldn't keep our facility cooled, um, train wasn't able to do that for us. And an alpha employee who has, uh, a wife that teaches for us reached out to me. He did the first time and I said, "Well, we've got this this contract the second time said, "Yeah, come and look at it for me." And within several hours, they had it cooling and the the temperatures were dropping. um they didn't have to do that, but they did. And that that that sticks with
043me a lot. But on top of that, they're the only company of all the bids that were submitted that is willing to take on everything. Uh gentlemen, if you want to come up and and share some things with the board. >> Well, thank you. Thank you. I'm Jerry Lewis, director of sales at Alpha, and this is >> Robbie Bohan. I'm the controls manager. So how we got here wasn't from the sales side, it was from the technician side. Um where our our technicians were car work for carrier and then they came over seven six or seven years ago and come came to work for us. But in a quick foundation of who we are, Alpha Energy Solution, our president Joe Rhodess came from train as a service technician in 1980 1994. And our foundation is
044chillers, boilers, HVAC, and control service. That's if we want if y'all wanted us to build a building, that's not us. We're we're a service company. And how we got into all the services on the screen was because our customers asked us to do that because what we found is pointing fingers in different directions. Well, you need to call the controls guy and then the controls company comes out and then you have additional cost to those and that's that's what we found. So we we've grown into a lot of different services that we provide. So that's a quick overview of who who we are at Alpha Energy Solutions. So then to go back to the air quality that you know Matthew was pointing out to me um just noticing you know we s kind of reviewing
045the system and there was several dampers that was fully closed. Well you got to bring in fresh outside air to keep that carbon dioxide out of the room. So I think a lot of that we can kind of go through look at these dampers see what's going on with them. hopefully get some ventilation back in to where we're not at that really high level. Um, but that's the big thing that I've seen. And of course with us doing the PM, we'll continue to monitor things and help make suggestions and try to make things better all along without trying to do it all at once. And then we'll have some other let us dig into that and we we have some other solutions on getting the uh the you know when the air quality when schools
046and we see this a lot where the doors have now have mandatory being closed that's that's where where the issue is and this is not an uncommon thing. >> Okay. So do you all want to go through the contracts? >> Please do. >> Okay. So the first one there's four different contracts and Robbie and I he'll jump in will be uh the integration of the existing train controls to Tridium. So basically what we're doing there you're going from a proprietary system to an open system. So we have to earn your business each day each year. It's not like hey we're you have to use us. You you have a choice. >> So you're you're not holding us ransom train. Yeah. you don't or you don't like a system like that where you're locked in. >>
047It's a nonproprietary where where you have other other options for people to work on. >> So currently our systems proprietary. >> Yes. With train. >> So that that's the proposal that is the 24905.44. Okay. Any questions on this one? >> So the 2490544 is just the conversion of the control systems >> to an open protocol. >> Yes, sir. And that's a one time thing. >> Then you won't have to do it again. Then we just do the updates and keep you running. >> What's the timeline on that? How long does it take to convert? >> It's probably truthfully to get it completely done. It's probably going to take us a month to really work out all the bugs and get everything back to the way, you know, where we know the system running really good
048again. >> And you guys had experience with the stuff that we have now. I mean, we've had obviously the train and the carrier. >> Yes. >> We have many school systems that um that we presently do do control work for. Um in Kentucky, we take care of all the tech KCTCS 300 plus buildings. un under a contract controls HVAC boiler. So Davies County, Jasper schools, East Gibson, North Harrison. So bunch of different ones we you can have references on. >> Any more questions on this one? >> No. >> Okay. All right. Then the next one would be the on the controls PM which is a total of the 30 $3,840 and that's basically we're we're taking care of those controls on a quarterly basis or yeah coming in reviewing the system helping make suggestions things
049like that just kind of supporting things seeing what kind of alarms we got what we can fix and things like that. >> Well what was that price? >> 384. >> Okay. It says um after year one on this it says 6800 per year after controls >> or for for controls after year one. >> Um >> oh >> yeah so yeah where they took for the tridium. So there is a license that you have to pay for kind of like everybody else and it it does add on that two or three thousand. It's like 2,000 some dollars. >> Okay. So then so that'll be every year that that >> Yes. >> Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay. >> And we can get that to you. >> Yeah. >> Is it? >> Any more questions on the >> Is
050it the Is it the $6800 per year plus the 38.40? >> No. No. That's included. >> 3840 and the fee is an estimated 6,800. >> Okay. Are we good on the controls? >> Yes. >> Okay. The next one we had was the uh the chiller, the PM on the chillers. So, uh our technician, he lives locally here. Um we have all the software, everything we need to work on the on the two carrier chillers. And then we do have a one compressor change in in our price. Change one compressor a year. that you've Yeah. And we got what? Six compressors. Is that correct? >> Uh per chiller. That's per chiller. I believe >> I don't know that to be 100% correct, but there's multiple. >> Yeah, I think we've got twothirds of them running on
051one chiller and a third on the other. >> One compressor change per chiller >> per year. >> Just one to Yes. >> Six chillers. >> There there's two chillers that have multiple compressors on each chiller. >> So the 22204 is is an annual maintenance contract on just the chillers. That is correct. Includes if we need it one compressor changed. >> We're going to change one compressor. >> That way we get them all back up. >> Yeah. Okay. >> Any other questions on the ch Okay. And then the boiler PM. Uh we have we have the total we have all the boilers, we have the uh expansion tanks, the storage tanks, and that total cost is $5,760 annually. >> Expansion. What else you say? >> Fullers and the expansion tanks. Yes. You guys have any other
052questions for these gentlemen? >> I've got one. Um the almost well $53,6944 that's year one and then estimated year two or year after year one would be 34964. Um, how do you see that go up significantly each year or what's typically that's we're going I mean we it's may go up 3% somewhere along there. Nothing real dramatic in that in that way. >> And then this we're we're just a yearly contract then or >> we can we can we can do what tailored however you want. If we want to do a one-year, we want to do a three-year. >> Right now, our last two contracts with train are both three-year contracts. >> Okay. >> Um, is that what for you guys with schools, is that three-year contract standard typically? >> Yes. >> So, when you
053put the proposal together, you based it on information you already knew about the system. you you saw the air quality control study done. Would it make sense to make sure we fix all the air quality control stuff and get the system up to code and running right and then enter in a service agreement? Are we going to duplicate stuff by getting into a service agreement and coming back later and having to replace stuff to fix the air quality control things? >> I don't I think if we get ahead of it now, it would probably be easier because if you try may have to repair less or >> right because if you try to do it now then you're going to have to have the other guys come in reprogram that stuff and get it working
054where if we attack it now you know once we've converted then we're just moving forward proprietary all the way through >> and also where we're sitting at now Mr. us on our contract with train is is up. It ended in October and so any calls that we make right now no longer fit into that agreement >> and so we are paying premium price for anything that we need worked on currently. >> I'm concerned about the the closed loop system itself. Do we have baffles that are or gates that aren't opening properly and all that stuff? Well, I think the biggest thing that we've seen so far is the dampers. And typically, you know, you're going to typically you'll see an actuator or the dampers yourself are locked up and jammed up. >> Calcium. >> Yeah.
055Rust, whatever. And we'll just have to go through and tack them as we can. We might have to dig into it more. And it might cost a little more to go in and free them up or change an ice or something like that. But I think if we get ahead of it now, we'd be a lot better off than trying to manipulate it and then get somebody else in here. We could we could get this number down in the CO2 levels without a whole lot of replacement supply >> because I don't I don't remember. I was here when we built the building brand new and it was less than 15 years. We had to go back doing a lot of retrofits on dampers and >> the registers in the room. It just it was just
056crazy because we didn't have proper maintenance and operational protocol on the system itself. >> So hopefully we can get in there now and start keeping track of it. >> Yeah. It's it's more than a custodial wage person can handle. >> Right. >> And this would start as soon as if we approve. It starts right away. >> Yes. They'll start there and then, you know, we want we want to be a we want to work with you all and and >> be posted of everything and just be a good steward. >> So, if we sign a contract tonight, tomorrow morning, or say and we we somebody walks into school at 60 degrees, we don't get a service call or anything, that's it's it's covered under this. Is that correct? >> On on a repair? Uh well
057the service call the repair I can see it could be equipment but would a service call be covered under the contract? >> No. >> Okay. So this is all preventive. >> This is all preventive maintenance. It's not a full maintenance contract. >> Any other questions? >> Thank you gentlemen. >> Thank you. Thanks guys. Thank you. So, Dr. Albert, this was sent to Wilson in the I forgot what you call that process. >> Yeah, they they got three different quotes and these guys are the most comprehensive from what I can tell >> and cheapest. >> And then in the long run, they're >> they're well below seal bid requirements. So, >> yeah. And and again What what really sells me on Alpha is without having a contract with us when train couldn't take care of us,
058Alpha did. >> Uh no questions asked, they came and they worked with us. Uh they are the only bid that came in that is comprehensive. Anything else, we've got multiple companies with their hands in the same cookie jar. Um if when when we're done with discussion um you know I'll make a proposal to you guys and we'll go from there. >> You got a local guy too. >> I see his truck go past my house all the time. I know I know you got a guy able to see an Alpha van drop >> Yeah. >> Well, not anymore, but you see an Alpha van drop kids off in the morning here in our car rider line. >> My dog chasing every morning. He changes everybody. >> I think it it speaks of the integrity of
059their firm that they're going to get us away from a proprietary agreement, which means you've got to use them all the darn time. >> And that can get expensive. >> Sounds good to me. >> Are you ready for >> Yep. Um, at this time I'd like to uh propose to the board um to accept into a three-year deal for our HVAC uh needs with Alpha uh to run the controls, the chillers, and the boilers like was discussed. Um that is my proposal. >> I guess um the agreement will be for um $53,6944 year 1. Um, I'm not sure how I guess it estimated of $34,964 with a possible 3% increase for year two and then compounding that for year three. >> And that that 3% is >> is an estimate. I mean, could be higher,
060could be lower, could be not. >> Who knows? But those are ballpark. You never know what's going to happen, what's going to go wrong, any of those things. Are we entering in a one-year service agreement with >> I'm recommending three. >> Okay. >> Based on these numbers. >> Based on those numbers. >> Yeah. That I just read. And that includes the compressor. One compressor replacement per year. >> That's good. Yeah. >> Okay. Could I have a motion and second to approve? >> Hold on. That's fair. Y >> Yeah, that sounds a lot better than our previous days. >> Appreciate that. It's good. >> Okay. Can I have a motion and second to approve that? >> I'll move to approve the the service agreement with Alpha. >> I'll second. >> Okay. Any dis any more discussion?
061>> If not, all those in favor say I. I. >> Oppose. Same sign. Motion passes. Thank you. >> Thank you, gentlemen. >> Thank you, guys. >> Thank you, gentlemen. >> Thank you, Mr. Crawl Horn, for your work on this. >> Yeah. Thanks, Dustin. Make sure I've got everything. Okay. Number 14 is the approval of the 2026 2027 LCSC calendar which was option one. I may let Dr. Apple talk. >> And that is uh very similar to the option that we have now that we've been running under for decades now at this point. Uh that's got a start date of the 28th for teachers and the 30th for students. Uh it's got the two weeks fall break, the first full two weeks of October, two weeks of spring break, the last full week of March, and
062then the 29th through the 2nd of April. Uh it's got um December the 21st through December or u January the 1st for winter break. Come back on the 4th. Um one thing that is a little different I didn't catch in time. Nobody else caught. And then finally, I saw it on election day. We had us in school on election day. We also have to address um the spring primary this year. We've got us in school. We are a polling place. We will need to go to synchronous learning on both of those days. It'll be really good for the >> upcoming year. Give them an opportunity to try that out before the winter. >> Um >> we just none of us and a lot of eyes are on it. Nobody caught it. Uh same thing with
063this spring. We are a primary polling place. Uh so we will need to go as or we will need to go synchronous learning on both of those days. Uh looking at the data from it and we've always shared it with teachers. This year we shared it with the entire staff and uh our school community at large uh with the staff. Um calendar one had 70.2% of all votes. Uh 33 votes. Uh, calendar two had 17% uh, eight votes and uh, calendar three had six votes or 12.8%. Uh, when you open up to everybody at large, calendar one still had a majority 52.6. Um, calendar 3 actually had more than two at 24.7 or 56 people and um, then 22.7 for calendar two. uh when you take out when you divide them I already gave you
064the staff numbers uh the community at large uh those that that got the email through our parent square uh 97 or 48.5% of those chose calendar one uh calendar 2 48 24% and then calendar 3 had 55 people 27.5% um it is our traditional calendar it is what we uh are are constantly on um I see no reason to change it and I recommend that option of calendar one to the board for approval for the 26 27th school year. >> Um how close is that to Proser's schedule? >> Uh it's a little different like it is this year. Um there are Proser went tried to go some type of hybrid model where there don't match anybody. They don't even match new Albony Floyd. Uh one of the calendars matched it most closely I believe it
065was calendar three. Uh but they have a couple days in one week where they're in and then off a week and um it matches it pretty closely. Uh not exact, but even before we weren't we weren't exactly tend to go a few years or a few years a few uh days or or a week or two after we did any anyway typically. >> Okay. Thank you. U so this brings us to 14. the approval of the 2026 2027 LCSC calendar option one. Could I have a motion and second to approve? >> I so moved. >> I'll second. >> Any discussion? If not, all those in favor say I. >> I oppose. Same sign. Motion passes. >> The next item is noncertified pay scale discussion. >> Yeah. Um you guys have gotten uh you have received
066um proposed pay changes for our non-LEA employees um ranging from our building administrators. Uh our teachers, if you remember, got a $5,100 raise uh over the two-year cycle of the contract. Uh we try to stay in line with that, propose for our administrators to get a $5,000 pay raise. Um that would take the uh high school principal from 95 to 100, elementary principal from 90 to 95, uh assistant principal 80 to 85 at the elementary and the high school 85 to 90. One thing that I would ask for you guys um to consider and to work in their contracts a reduction of days. Um when you look at their daily rate, they were falling behind some of our teachers. um some kind of considerable where they were. Also, when you look at the daily rate
067and I shared with you guys uh statistics of the corporations around us and like-ized corporations, uh a lot of our neighbors pay a lot more uh for administrators uh and have fewer days. Uh daily rate, the discrepancy was pretty large. We'd like to keep them uh as close to inline as possible. They do a fantastic job for us and we want to make sure that we reward them and keep them as long as we can. Um, high school principal 200, it was 235. Elementary principal 210, that was 225. And that was, I believe, the highest of anybody around us. Um, elementary assistant principal 200 from 205 and assistant high school principal 205 from 210. Uh, >> I think you you said 200 for the high school principal is 220. >> 220. Yeah. 220. Okay. Yeah.
068Uh technology director looking at in several of these we'll talk about looking at creating steps. That's always just been a pay uh straight pay. Um looking at creating some steps for that bringing in at 70,000 for years one and two three and five 75 6 through 8 and 9 plus 85,000 facilities director that again was just straight pay. Uh there were no steps built in that. Uh, I think it's advantageous for us to do that. Um, starting salary of of 60,000 for years one and two, three and five, 65, 6 through 8, 70, 9 plus 75,000. Uh, corporation nurse, we're looking at um that should be 30 on your sheet. If you look at that on five plus, that should say $34. Um looking at the starting pay going it is now currently 295 bumping
069that up to 35 and years five plus it is 33 bumping that to 34 corporation athletic director much like technology director and facilities it was just a straight pay no steps I think it's advantageous for us to create a stairst step system uh starting pay 65,000 uh topping out at 9 plus year is at 80,000. Uh transportation director currently makes 15,000 or $18,000. Um with all the added things from the state and increasing our routes potentially in the years to come, we've already from the first time that that we did this, we picked up some corporation routes, picked up a couple special education routes that we have to run back and forth from Cordon. Looking at picking up one or more of those, potentially some more corporation routes in the near future. um moving that
070from $18,000 to $19,250. Uh corporation treasurer uh currently has a starting pay of $22.50 and tops out at year six at 30. I think we need to add a few more steps to that. Uh starting pay move an hour 2350, go up to eight plus years, add two steps, maxing out $35 an hour. Human resources director, same thing. adding uh a couple of steps. Uh currently it's $19 an hour to start. Uh keep that at 19. Adding those steps, the old rate was 23, moving that to 30. Uh you'll see we're trying to really reward people for longevity um for staying with the school corporation. Uh custodians, similar theme, adding a couple steps. Currently, they top out at $21 after uh I believe five years starting at 18. like to add a couple of steps.
071Uh topping out stay currently starting at 18, topping out at $23 an hour, adding a step for years six and seven at 22 and seven plus at 23. Instructional assistance, same way. They've just had a flat rate. Um they've had a we moved that up uh from $15 to $17 two years ago. Um that was all it was. We've got some some people that have worked these jobs for years and years and years and I think we need to kind of reward them. Um moving that starting pay from 17 to 18, but also adding steps. And so those that have been here for years, uh reward them for that. Um so years one and two would be 18, years three and five $1850. Years five and seven 19. And if you've been here eight plus
072years, $20 an hour. Um study hall very similar. It was a a straight amount. No um no steps, no movement. Uh no reward for longevity. Uh it was $18 an hour. Uh I think we need to add some steps. Starting pay $19 an hour. Years one and two, then year three and five, uh six plus $21 an hour. Credit recovery is the exact same. It was just straight pay, no steps. Adding steps, it was $22 an hour. move the starting pay to 23 uh for years one and two, three and five, 2350, $24 an hour for six plus cafeteria manager. Uh we kind of shifted some things, moved some steps. Uh it was starting 1750, moved that an hour, dollar an hour to $1850. Uh topping out at $23 an hour after eight plus years.
073Uh adding a step it was at 2150. uh cafeteria workers uh they were starting at 1425 uh make that starting a quarter higher 1450 uh it was topping out at 7 plus at 1750 uh move that to $1850 an hour so at the top of that scale is a dollar more uh cafeteria subs keep the same uh sub coordinator went from I'm proposing 3,000 to 3,500 um proser bus driver if you've ever envisioned And what that is, that's running back and forth to prosper three times a day. That is a chore. Uh currently we're paying $125 a day. I recommend we move that to $135 a day. Um those special education preschool routes, they're $90 a day now. Those were adjusted not too long ago. I think they're good still at that $90 a day
074now. Um regular bus routes right now or corporation routes are $100 a day. Um, I anticipate in the future having some that are under 50 miles and some that are over 50 miles. I think it's important to have that distinction. Um, I recommend any routes under 50 miles, which all of ours currently are from $100 a day to $110 a day and any that are 50 miles and above, uh, set at $120 a day for those routes for corporation drivers. uh junior senior high school secretary treasure. That's our ECA treasurer. Um year one under the current systems $18 an hour. It goes to six plus at 21. I recommend that we move that to 19 for the starting pay, but increase it a little bit more as we go uh to 23 at 6 plus.
075And so that'd be a $2 an hour raise when you're at the top of the scale. And that is a a heck of a job. uh our secretary administrative clerks. Those are our front office people. Uh currently year one they start at 17 and it tops out at 20. I recommend that we start at 18, increment up, top out at 22 on year six plus. Um technology assistant. This is a a position that we brought on to help as technology advances and then it creates more and more. uh need $22 an hour currently, tops out at 27. Uh I recommend that we move that to 23 and top out at 29. And again, you see the pattern of rewarding people for their longevity with the corporation. Um medical assistant, again, another newly created position in
076the last couple of years. It started at 18 and five plus years at 23. I recommend 19 to start and year five plus at 25 with increments running through there. One thing as we create some of these uh steps, it's important to know and what I've got on there for you guys, you always run into people that are here. Uh and Heather Smith, I'm going to pick on you for a minute. How many years do you have service? Huh? 19. 19 consecutive years in the corporation. I think that that is very very different than somebody who's got 19 years spanned over 25 that have come and gone and come and gone. Um people in that in a position and um when we look at the number of years of service if they're consecutive they run
077that way. If there are gaps or they've done different job whatever that might be looking at a two to one. So, if I worked here for four years and left for five and come back and I've been here for two years, six years total, but they're not consecutive in that position, you're looking at at splitting that. So, that would be three years of service. So, they don't lose that time. It still counts, but it doesn't count the same. Uh, and I think that is the the fair way to do that. One thing that I also recommend uh for our instructional assistants, most other people get to carry days over. Um instructional assistants get six leave days throughout the course of the year. Uh I recommend that at the end of each year, anything that they
078have left, whether it be six or one, we buy back at $50 uh a day. I think that is fair. Uh one thing I know that they they get in and and most of them really love their job and they really love coming in. But you get to the end of the year and you look at those days and you say, "Well, if I don't use them, I'm going to lose them." I think we owe it to them um to buy some of those days back. Uh it could be all six, it could be one. Anything they have less at the end of that day, buy back from them $50 uh per day. Um our vacation days, we need to look at uh our day employees. So, you're looking at our custodial services, you're looking
079at HR director, you're looking at, um, finance corporation treasurer, um, ECA treasur, those 260day employees. They had to work a full year before they got 10 days of vacation. We have lost them, I think, what would have been good employees over that. uh when we interview they hear that and that that's a hard pill to swallow. I would like to change that in year one after six months five of the 10 days at the one year anniversary you get the other five. So that's the 10 over the year but at least five of those get can get used in that or you can roll them over and then after that it's 10 a year. Uh but but I would like to do that for that that first year. Looking at leave days, we also had
080a discrepancy. We had anybody whether you had 200 days or 260 days that you worked, you still had eight leave days. Um I think that's uh that's unjust to some of our employees that work 240 245 days uh that that are that are not bargained employees uh that are not certified employees. I think for employees that are 200 to 229, the eight days um works out well and buy back anything when they leave us if as long as they've had the 10 years of service at 30 at $50. It was 35 move that to 50 to match with the instructional assistance. What I'm asking for that um any employees that are 230 to 259 9 days so an additional day of leave um continue to roll over like they do buy those back after 10
081years of service when they leave for retirement or whatever at $50 a day. And then our 260day employees uh two additional leave days. Move that to 10 days a year. let them continue to roll those over like they currently do after 10 years of service. Uh when they re retire or leave or whatever, buy their remainders back at $50 a day. I realize that's a lot. Um there a lot of different categories. Really had to focus on rewarding those people that have been consistent employees that have been here for years, want to reward longevity. Um, I'm not trying to, you know, Heather said she's got 18 years of service in and I don't know how Heather feels, Miss Miss Smith. I don't know. I don't want to put words in your mouth, but if I
082had been here for 15 years, Mr. Lind, we hired you on and you're on day two and after 15 years, I'm making the same you are day two. That would be an issue. And I think we needed to adjust that and correct that. and probably long long overdue but well overdue and especially buying some days back from those instructional assistants. Everybody else got to roll them over. That particular group didn't and I think we need to do something for them because I know a lot of them and I've spoken to over the years don't really want to take the day but and I've heard if I don't take it I'm going to lose it. This way you can still work still get that pay but then get a benefit for being here every day or
083close to it. Those are my recommendations. I want to thank Dr. Apple, you can see put a lot of thought into this and as well u Carrie uh put a lot of thought into this. Um so that leads us to number 16, the non-certified pay scale approval. Could I have a motion and second to approve? >> I'll make a motion we approve it. >> I'll second it. >> Any discussion? If not, all those in favor say I. I. Oppose. Same sign. Motion passes. Okay. The number 17, approve the grant agreement for uh Harrison County Community Foundation for $1,849 for the purchase of a nine square in the air for PE programs >> and lees. >> Um I think Dr. Holder spoke about that earlier. >> Could I have a motion and second to approve? >>
084We'll make a motion. I'll second. >> Okay. Any discussion? If not, all those in favor say I. >> I. Oppose. Same sign. Motion passes. >> Number 18. Approve FMLA leave for Kelsey Rollins beginning 4625 and ending 52626 returning for the 2026 20227 school year. Could I have a motion and second to approve? 4626. >> 4626. >> Yeah. 4 4626. >> Yeah. >> 26. >> Oh, whoops. Yeah, we're past 25. Okay. Sorry.

Additional public comments. I have first on the list, Mike Wolf. I just had one thing. I've missed a couple schoolboard meetings, but I
093forgot to listen to them when I wasn't here. But, uh, first of all, kudos for the alpha. I think that's probably one of the better things you've opened up and discussed out in the public of what was going on and also the hiring of getting one company in here since I've been doing the concession stand for six years ago. When Mr. Apple started as athletic director, the current the former guy that was in here kept saying, "I have to call somebody else to get something fixed. I have to call somebody else if the air conditioner wasn't working." Well, now it's a single person. So, kudos to that whoever got that, Mr. Apple, whoever. Um, what I was up here for was I just wanted to see if there was an update on uh the roofing
094solar array project and controls that we discussed in here probably August. of what was going on with that. >> Yeah, the roofing is almost finished. It would have been got some other things really just around the edges. Um we are right now with Duke the um connection agreement is being executed. We've got the paperwork sending that back to them and as soon as that is in then and and done correctly then they can schedule the panels. >> What about the controls that we talked about with the guy we had the public meeting in here that was something that was discussed was the school controls and I was going to look at them and do a report on that but we've never I've never heard anything. >> They are in Bedford right now still trying to
095wrap that up. >> So the controls report still hasn't even they haven't even >> No, they haven't started on that yet. That was something that was free of charge for us and so they were throwing that in. But when they get done with Bedford, they're supposed to move this direction. Thank >> Thanks, Mr. Wolf. Thanks, Mike. Thanks. Okay, next is Veronica Hobs. I'm you know I I wanted to come up here tonight to say you know I was I came here in 1987. Jim still had dark hair. There was no gray. and pilot chairman Donnie Joe was on the board for the first time and that contract he said our calendar he said was decades ago I was on that committee I'm develop so I tell everybody that I am critically endangered as a big
096I retired from teaching in 2012 and went to work for ISBA and I'm heading back to my next So I wanted to thank Dr. We got it done too fast. I just want everyone to know that we have an agreement that the teachers are happy with. The CTA has been trying to build relationship with Dr. Apple. We've been working on developing planning committee. We talked about what that community be responsible for. So we feel like we are on the right track in building that relationship. We wish we could develop better relationships with all the administrators, our CTA, our members continue to work collaboratively with Dr. metaphor is always Thank you so much. We call back. >> Thank you so much. >> Thank you for always answering my calls. >> Even not about this. I appate.
097>> Okay. The next person on the list is >> says >> Hello, my name is Chrissy Dodie and this is my 12th year working at le professional. I am speaking tonight on behalf of my fellow PAR professionals here at Lanesville. Some are here with me tonight. Um, many of you may not know what the role of a PAR professional is. We are also called aids, assistants, teacher helpers. We kind of answer to whatever we're called. Um, it's hard to define our role. We co-e, provide special education services, uh, support behavior goals, sub, wherever and whenever we're needed. We support social skills. The list is endless. We show up every day for our students and teachers by supporting classrooms, building relationships, and helping our school run smoothly dayto-day. Tonight, we are asking for the recognition not
098just as employees, but as a union. Just as our teachers are able to be a part of our a union, your Lanesville Paris want the same rights and protection, we are a fierce advocates for our students and we are dedicated staff to the school. When parents are valued, students feel it, teachers feel it, the whole school is stronger for it. We're asking today to be recognized as the professionals we are and be given the same treatment as our colleagues. Tonight, I have for you a petition with signatures of over 80% of the Paris in our school who are asking for this. Thank you for your consideration and on this matter and I hope we can all work together to make this happen for my fellow Paris and myself in the future. >> Thank you. Thanks
099to the Paris too. >> Okay, I don't have any other comments. Is there anybody else wants comments? >> Chip White. >> Still waiting on a state championship sign. >> I know it's been almost two years now. So, we need to get something going. Another thing I need to ask the board, have y'all got some kind of policy protecting kids going into an empty house when they get out of school? I've got a couple neighbor kids, elementary kids going home each day to empty house at 6:00. They're still there by themselves. I've talked to the bus driver and she said she's called the school and said they couldn't do nothing about it. But I don't want these kids hurt or anything to happen to them. Their home life's not that great. There's nothing I can do
100about it. But it's sad. >> Have y'all got some kind of policy where they can bring them back to school? >> No, there's no gladi policy like that. Can you look at each depending on age, individual, >> the house, and so there's no blanket policy to cover that. So, they're allowed to go in to an empty house. >> We've got a lot of kids typically sometimes called latch key kids um where they come depending on how long it is, depending on the age. Uh we've had, you know, instances where younger kids the driver will bring them back. Older kids, no. We've had instances where recently uh you know and and Chris Lazley did a really good job on this making sure because there was a a delivery man in the driveway making sure that kid
101got in the house. Uh and so you can't put a blanket policy out on that. Is there an older brother? Is there not? How old are the kids? And so there are a lot of variables, but we have had times where if it's a younger kid, they keep them on the bus. We make phone calls to try to track them down where they're at. Sometimes they've come back, sometimes we've taken them somewhere else. Uh but it just there are a lot of variables on that. >> These are two young kids. >> I spoke with you on this other matter I'm bringing up and I've been on the phone tonight with state police discussing this, but when they get off the bus on a state highway, they're supposed to get off that bus where they step
102onto their driveway instead of cross in front of the bus. Now, I know you said you talked to Troy Boyd, but I've got where he's said, you know, if it was a ballpark, it's different, but you can ask Jod how many times her stop arm has been run this year. I don't want to go out there. I work for a funeral home. I don't want to have to go out there and pick up a kid that's deceased or hurt, but she could drop them kids off on her way back when she brings the bus back to school. because she brings the bus back to school. So she could they could ride that whole route. I just hate to see them crossing that bus in front of that bus. It's that road is getting dangerous each
103and every day. It's getting worse. So I'd like for you all to consider changing her route where she can drop them kids off on her way back to the school here with her bus. >> We'll talk with her. >> Thank you. Thanks. >> Yeah, I don't remember what number that was. Okay, number 38. Uh, no. >> 39. Ajournment. Do I have a motion and second to approve? >> I so move. >> Any dis or second? >> I'll second. >> Any discussion? If not, all those in favor say I. I
