001All right, we'll call our meeting to order. >> There it is. >> So, we have a special presentation about AI. Um, Chad B, I'll let you introduce your students as well. Uh good evening. Thank you for allowing us to speak. I'm here tonight with Olivia Shutes and Cole Gird. We're going to talk about our updated AI student policy. Um so we were tasked with convening a committee of teachers, administrators, and students to take a look at this policy and kind of make sure that students voice were was being transmitted into the policy as well. um because we often make these policies and kind of imply our decisions but we wanted to hear the students voice and what they thought about it. So um we had a lot of good discussions um very transparent discussions um
002that AI was already being used and so we wanted to kind of set up the guard rails going forward. So in front of you is kind of the mockup of that and then later on in this meeting you guys will be voting on the actual policy. So there's a lot of tweaks that will need to be done to this graphic before we send it out. But in the fall we're aiming to get this out to students and staff. So I'm going to turn it over to them and let them walk you through it. Um, we started with the H AIH model and the student commitment. And the H stands for human inquiry where you start with your questions and then it goes to AI where you use AI support to help explore your questions and
003answer those questions. And then you use your own human reflection to uh judge the AI and see if the the AI is uh helpful to your needs. And the uh student commitment is I will use AI to help me learn not to do the thinking for me. Um these students commit to uh verifying the AI info and being honest about its use and respecting privacy. Okay, so the main focus of this infographic is the thermometer in the middle which we have called the AI use scale. You can think of this as a little like a stoplight red which is our first level is just no AI is used at all. You have to demonstrate the personal skills entirely on your own without any artificial intelligence. Our second level, which is orange on the infographic, is
004using AI to explain something you might not understand, like a vocabulary word or instructions that perhaps are a little foggy. Yellow, which is level three, is brainstorming. It will help you generate essay topics or explain just a little bit more than what would just be like defining a vocab word, but ultimately you are still doing the work. Level four, which is green, is feedback. That's using AI for like spelling checks or anything to help you refine it before you get to the teacher while ultimately still making those revisions on your own time. And then level five, which is blue, is collaboration where you work with the AI model throughout the entire creation process. Ultimately, you are still doing the work, but the AI is playing much more of a role than it normally would. So,
005this AI use scale is decided by the teachers. If they say no AI, then it is no AI. They get to choose a level per assignment. >> Um, the shift framework for critical thinking uh teaches students to evaluate what AI produces and to like check the facts uh see if there's any bias or see if there's any missing perspectives. And we have the spark curiosity and hunt for facts where you ask what surprises you and verify names, dates and facts for accuracy to check. Um then we inspect the goal and find new angles where we ensure AI output fits the rubric and we look for missing perspectives or voices. Um then we think about the flaws, see if there's any uh red flags in the writing or biases towards one side. Um, and then we
006just check to see if the uh information is correct and everything that it says. And the uh the privacy and safety rules uh you protect your privacy. You don't give out your name, your address, your ID, all of all the uh legal stuff. and you only use what the school provides to you uh for the AI like uh Notebook LM I I believe uh Gemini um >> Magic School >> and Magic School and you only use those and only age appropriate and safe AIS ultimately ely we realize that the future is you moving towards more AI usage. Colleges are starting to implement AI literacy courses and we really just want to be ahead of that curve which is why we decided to have this policy which is built with students because students are using a
007lot of AI. We can't ignore that to give us a clear consistent and just honest framework moving ahead. >> Um so like they said uh the main goal was When Purdue announced that they're mandating AI urgency, um the big thing we we really pride ourselves on in prospel is making sure when they cross the stage at graduation, they are ready for that next step. So this is a part of that. Um plagiarism and all that is covered as well. It all falls back to the student handbook. Um so it's all moved over to that disciplinary tree already. So at that point, do you guys have any questions? >> So the teacher will will set their expectations on each assignment. Yeah. And no way this is mandating anything. So like u physical education, no AI of
008course, but then in English they can go per assignment if they want. >> So we want complete control in that classroom. >> Great job guys. >> Awesome. Thank you guys. >> Next item is our public comments. Uh if anyone would like to speak to the board. Um there will be an opportunity uh later in our meeting to speak regarding our project hearing that will be happening. So uh we didn't receive any requests. If anybody wanted to address the board, please raise your hand and I'll uh wait I'll stall for a couple minutes while you can fill out the little form. So and if you wanted to speak at the project hearing, there's also forms in the back if you want to fill those out to get Miss Pennington to uh to speak to that. So
009very good. Okay. Hearing none, we'll move on. First item on the agenda is consideration of claims payroll and the minutes from the last meeting May 5th 2026 board received claims dockets payroll claims and minutes in advance of the meeting fund and B and bank reports were supplied as well. Uh they were asked to contact me if they had any questions. >> I move we approve the minutes, claims and payrolls as presented. >> Second been properly moved and seconded to approve the minutes, claims and payrolls as presented. Is there any discussion? Hearing none. All those in favor signify by saying I. >> I. Oppose. Same sign. That motion carries. Okay. Next is our project hearing. Um at this time we'll hold a project hearing. Uh we're going to have a presentation by the administration and advisers
010here. There will be an opportunity for the public to make comments about this project. If you'd like to do that, we would ask you to fill out one of the forms in the back and get that to Miss Pennington. She can get it to me. at the appropriate time, we'll call your name and give you three minutes up to three minutes to speak. So, um, so I think next is Oh, this was advertised, uh, the hearing was advertised in the Times, Carol County comment and on the website. And then the next thing is Dr. Hannah, correct? >> Yeah. >> Yep. So presented to uh Indiana code 20267-37 before a school corporation may spend more than $1 million to build, repair or alter the school facility which is being financed by a lease or bonds. Uh
011it must hold a public hearing at which explanations of the potential value of the projects the school corporation and community are given. Public hearing is consideration of the resolutions represented at the beginning of the legal process. The resolutions presented at this meeting established the financial terms of the proposed projects and we provided those u resolutions in the packet as you came in. >> So next I'd like Dr. Hanner to explain a little bit more about the uh process and also the need for the project. >> So as discussed in the May 5th meeting board of education uh the district seeking authorization for up to 6.46 $46 million financing currently anticipated to be issued in three series over the next 10 years. Each debt insurance is currently anticipated to have a a payment term of approximately
0125 years. So this very first one would only be five years wouldn't be the total amount uh with the total paid back in 14 years. Uh this is not an obligation to utilize a total 6.4 million. The proposed renovations and improvement to the school facilities uh intend to address critical infrastructure, safety and technology needs throughout the district. Project focus on maintaining a safe modern functioning learning environment for our students and staff. And the district is addressing 30 plus year old roof uh and technology replacement. technology is not that old, but the roof is uh needs proactively that are waiting for emergency failures or significant higher future costs. So, we're trying to get that taken care of before it comes a cat catastrophic event. These projects represent long-term investment in educational quality and and operational reliability
013and community assets. The district considering this first amount assumed borrowing amount of 22 $2,265,000 through the proceeds general obligations bonds of 2026. The b bar b bar b bar b bar b bar b bar b bar b bar b bar b bar b bar borrowing of the uh structure can be repaid over five years can be flexible until the the time of bond sale. The shorter repayment period helps reduce the long-term interest costs and demonstrates fiscal responsibility. uh the district has worked with municipal advisors and bond council to structure a finance conversation uh conservatively and and responsibly. So, the project includes uh student staff devices, technology, uh classroom technology, the the uh interactive boards, phone upgrades, um roofing project, uh approximately $650,000 on that. And uh there is a map that was attached to this.
014And basically it's the north end of the building uh over the uh first grade and second grade and fine arts area and then down a little bit on the hallway. And then there's some other side rooks as well. Uh that has not been done since I've been here and I've just finished my 26th year. So I'm anticipating that was probably um because I know it wasn't touched in the other project as well. So, it's probably nearly 30 years old. HBA improvements $245,000 $248,500. Mainly that's for the auditorium. Uh that proved its need this last spring or this uh spring semester. Uh includes a uh also a unit over the kitchen and auditorium lighting uh security upgrades and then soft cost. Um so the I think this is still mine, right? >> Yep. >> So the
015fiscal responsibility and taxpayer impact um the district currently maintains a manageable debt level and available bonding capacity. The estimated increase of debt service tax rate is approximately 11.49. Uh and estimated annual taxpayer impact is listed there. $100,000 be a if your home value is $100,000 you're looking at 37,000 or 37 a year impact. If it's 150 you're looking at 68. If you have the median value home you're looking at 103 um and that those impacts be explained further by big chilling. So u the district recognizes that any tax increase is important to the fair and has carefully prioritized projects that focus on the essential needs by utilizing a shorter repayment structure that reduces the amount of long-term interest paid over the life of the bond. And then our project goals are uh support student achievement,
016support students and staff safety, protect district facilities, and preserve the school building uh which is a valuable community asset. the proposed uh timeline. So May we had an informational meeting at the board meeting. This meeting is the public hearing. At the July meeting, July 14th additional appropriation hearing. Then August basically through September debt service levy included in the budget official statement and ratings process. And then in October of 2026, we'd have bond closing. And with that, unless there's questions, uh, I'll turn it over to Mr. Tilly. >> Thank you, Dr. Heris. I'd like to invite, uh, one of the representatives from Baker Tilly, our municipal adviser, to come up and talk a little bit about, um, how the project will be financed and the impact it might have on a typical taxpayer. >> Great. Thank
017you. My name is Lindsay Simonetto with Baker Chile. We serve as municipal adviserss to the district. And Dr. Hannah gave a good overview of the illustrations that we're going to walk through. And a lot of these slides are going to look very similar to what we walked through um back in May as well. So we'll first look at your existing bond structure and then the illustration of the proposed projects layered on top of that and and ultimately go over and conclude with the payer implications as well. This chart here is a graph of all the bonds that are currently outstanding. So you can see there are three different bonds outstanding today. Those payments total around 1.5 million this year and next year. And then um there's a bond that matures at the end of next
018year. There's two lease bonds outstanding and one general obligation bond outstanding. And that general obligation bond is the one that's going to mature here very soon. This is the detail behind that graph if you wanted to see each individual um annual payment for the bonds that are out there. Uh this is a calculation of the general obligation bonding capacity. So every taxing unit in the state has a limitation to how much they can issue that is general obligation and that means issued in the name of the school district as opposed to issued through a building corporation. You have both types of bonds outstanding. a lease bond issued through a building corporation and you also have a general obligation bond that will mature here shortly and the bonds that we are looking at this evening are
019also general obligation. So we've provided that calculation here to demonstrate how much of bonding capacity you have um as it sits well after you make the payments that'll be paid here over the next month. So this is a formula tied to your assess value. It's 2% of onethird of the net assess value. And then we take into account the general obligation bonds that are still out there that are nearing their maturity to get to a go or general obligation capacity of 2,267,000. So the bonds ultimately as Dr. Hannah mentioned that are being proposed to be financed yet this year are in the amount of 2,265,000. But we've also then illustrated what future borrowings could look like all within a a full unified project approval of $6,460,000 which would take care of projects not just today
020but over the next 10 years. And so, um, this has the summary of those illustrations. And again, those future financings, those are, um, those are illustrative. They can certainly change based off of project need timing and and goals of the district. But this shows how this could look with each financing, having a five-year repayment to really save on interest costs, but also um, being able to only borrow as you need the money with those project needs. The gray bars in this chart represent the existing bonds outstanding and then the solid turquoise color is the proposed financing of $2,265,000. And then the patterned bars show those future financings um repaid over that that fiveyear term of each of those. And again, those could change based off of the needs of the district. The detail behind that
021graph is here for your reference to see each of those annual payments. And then we have here the tax impact information. So in this slide, we've included home values ranging from $100,000 up to a $400,000 home. And these are assumed to be homestead deductions. So a primary residence that is able to receive homestead deductions. So if you look at the bold row there, that is the median home value in the district of 26,700. So for that median home, after taking into account the deductions that it's eligible for, that home's net assessed value or the value that it can get taxed on is the $90,18 figure. So for that median home with these bonds layered in the impact is $103 per year or just under $9 per month. We've >> I was just going to say
022we have the other other types of property provided in there as a multiplier agricultural property or other residential or commercial property as well. >> Okay, you ready? And these are again these are will certainly as fluctuations with assessed value can change from year to year depending upon um trending and and where and ultimately if a taxpayer was at their tax cap these wouldn't apply to those as well. And then we have a few slides in the back that just as supplemental information to provide some historical context. This first one showing where the net assesses value has been over the last several years and there's been pretty strong growth. Um a few of those years had over double digit growth annually. Um and ultimately when that net assessed value is growing more than what levies can
023grow then we will see tax rates go down which is something that we'll show in um another slide as well. But as we've discussed before, Senate and World Act One has some additional deductions phasing in over time, which is expected to really slow the growth in the net assessed value, could even result in some net assessed value declines over that period of time as well. So that ultimately can can impact tax rates. But again to show the the next slide there you can see what the tax rate has been to see the context of um back in 2022 it was over a dollar went down just under a dollar. If we look at it today it's about 74 cents. So it has declined over the last several years. And then we have the detail behind
024the tax rates on this slide. both the school detail by fund. If you wanted to see the breakdown of the tax rate each year for both the debt service and the operations fund, the two property tax supported funds. And then we have the total tax rate provided as well. And this is what um taxpayers ultimately pay on their tax bill. It takes into account Rosville schools tax rate, but also the county and the ship and any overlapping taxing units um within their district that they sit in. And so same trend showing both from the school's perspective and also from the total tax rate perspective of of that tax rate that has been declining over time that I'm happy to take any questions. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Next, we'll open up our meeting for
025public comment. I did not receive any requests for public comment, but I'm going to ask one more time if anybody would like to address the board. Be happy to entertain that. So, seeing no one, we will uh close the public uh comment portion of our meeting. Would like to thank everyone for uh participating in this this evening. appreciate your time and interest in the projects that affect the future of our community. Uh this is just the first step in the legal process. The board's going to continue to work with the administration and our professionals to look for efficiencies and conserve tax dollars while always meeting our educational needs. So, thank you very much. >> Next is Mr. Long from our bond council. >> Thank you. >> Yes. Thank you, members of the board. Dr. Benson
026administration once again vice. It's my honor privilege to be here again this evening. Um for your consideration as action items we have three separate resolutions um in line with what we discussed previously which was um kicking off this process and essentially setting maximum parameters for these projects here. So the first resolution for your consideration is the project resolution exhibit A in your packets. Um, this is required under title 20 of Indiana code whenever any school corporation is planning to finance anything greater than a $1 million mark in any facility or type of work. This resolution contains the a lot of the financial materials that Lindsay just presented on. So, the estimated hard and soft cost, the cost of issuance overall and the total project cost as well as the estimated tax impact. >> We'll take
027a motion. I move we approve the project resolution as presented. >> Second. >> Properly move to approve the project resolution as presented. Is there any discussion? >> Hearing none. All those in favor signify by saying I. >> I. Oppose. Same sign. That motion carries. >> Okay. So, the second resolution for consideration this evening is the preliminary bond resolution. As Dr. I mentioned um we're looking in particular in this calendar year um at a general obligation fund around $2,265,000. That's what this resolution pertains to. Some overlap on some of the financial information included in there, but checking a different statutory box. Um so again, we're talking about the total cost for the project, the maximum interest rate, um which again is conservatively estimated since we're not coming to market now. That would not be until potentially
028in the fall. Um, also setting the first interest payment dates and the maturity schedule for the bonds. Again, doing that conservatively. I think the estimate here this evening was that that would be around a 5-year term. Building some cushion um just because we don't know what market conditions may be in the fall. Um, so having a little bit of flexibility on that as well. Again, all with respect to the issuance of dinner obligation bonds this calendar year. >> I move we approve the preliminary bond resolution as presented. Second properly moved and seconded to approve the preliminary bond resolution as presented. Is there any discussion? Hearing none. All those in favor signify by saying I. I. >> Oppose. Same sign. That motion carries. >> And the last resolution I have for you this evening is a
029reimbursement resolution. Um this is just a reservation of rights for federal tax purpose. You can see here on this slide. Um, from time to time comes a patch that before you get to closing on the bonds, there are sometimes some costs, soft costs, dirt moving, things of those nature, um, that may be expended before you actually close on the bonds just to reserves your right as a school corporation to reimburse yourself for any of those preliminary type costs out of the bond proceeds at closing. >> I move we approve the reimbursement resolution as presented. >> Second properly moved and second to approve the reimbursement resolution as presented. Is there any discussion? Hearing none. All those in favor signify by saying I. I. Same. All those opposed, same sign. That motion carries. >> Thank you, Mr.
030Appreciate your time. So, yep. >> Thank you. And >> at this time, I'll take a motion to adjourn our project hearing. I make a motion we adjourn the project hearing. >> Second. >> Properly moved and seconded to adjourn our project hearing. Is there any discussion? like to say thank you for your time and coming this evening where you work on this project. >> All those in favor signify by saying I. >> I oppose. Same sign. >> That motion carries. We continue on with our regularly scheduled meeting. >> Consideration of resignations. Mire as mathematics teacher submitted a resation effective May 20th and Mrs. Arnoni uh submitted her resignation as a special education teacher. Um Todd Delahham's recommending Richard Cook for custodial position pending against his background check to be paid beginning a tier 2 custodians wage
031that's in the handbook. Mr. Hammond's recommending uh Austin Sadell for the band director's position. He's salary base salary be 49,000 along with the instrumental music uh stipen 6 through 12. And he's also recommending Diana Skinner as a teacher of English. That one just came in today at 4:00. So with a base salary of 62,000. Mr. Dennison recommending Kathy Jackson to cover staff members leave from October 13th through November 24th. He's recommending uh Mr. Jackson be compensated at the daily rate of beginning teacher salary. Mrs. Evans for the uh Clinton Carol joint services uh internet of contract with Egeneuity LLC and Sunny Nook Services uh for recycle uh educational evaluations uh for the 26 27 school years a contract with Egeneuity is for 7 and a half hours per day for 120 days. compensation will be
032no will be $140 $104 per hour and for the contract with Sunny Nook uh for 37.5 hours per week at a rate of $90.40 per hour and consideration of a consultant. Mr. Emmens is recommending hiring uh Shannon Harmon as a consultant for the department of student services uh for the 2627 school year rated $6,000 Indiana administrative code 4-1.5 defines the school counseling program in Indiana school or Indiana should include a part of a comprehensive student services program as defined by rule student services program include educational career services is required only at the secondary school level and must be coordinated by a certified counselor. Miss Harmon is certified school counselor and coordinates the services provided between or by Mrs. Dunn and Mrs. Dillingham. So those are the personnel items I have for you this evening. >>
033I move we approve the personnel items as presented. >> Second properly moved and seconded to approve the personnel items as presented. Is there any discussion? Hearing none. All those in favor signify by saying I I oppose. Same sign. That motion carries. >> Consideration to update the policy. We've been doing policies for years. Uh and I've worked with the um comprehensive policy program in collaboration with Indiana School Boards Association. So I have a few for this. Uh first reading is the student AI use policy. It looks a little bit different uh than because it's more general uh than the specific that would go in the handbook, but they they both line up. So, I've got this information from uh ISBA uh and it does line up. And so, then the second reading, public records access and
034exemption, that's revised policy. Educational records uh was revised. It's 4100 4110. distribution displays and exhibited materials on school property was revised. Student discipline rules was revised. Wireless uh device uh being prohibited uh is a new policy came out of the Indiana legislators uh police relation was revised and in the investigation interrogation led by law enforcement is a new policy. So I have those policies for your consideration this evening. I move we approve the policy items as presented. >> Second properly moved and seconded we approve the policy items as presented. Is there any discussion? >> Hearing none. >> All those in favor signify by saying I. >> Oppose. Same sign. And that motion carries. Uh donation totaling $360 a member of Nancy Goyer. Nancy was a custodian here for the district. Uh and this is uh
035the amount we received on her behalf. Uh recommending accepting that donation. I move we approve financial items as presented. >> Second. >> The property moved and seconded to approve the financial items as presented. Is there any discussion? >> Okay. All those in favor signify by saying I. >> I. Opposed. Same sign. That motion carries. Next is change of board meeting date. Uh miscellaneous items requesting that the board meeting scheduled for Tuesday to July 7th. We move that to Tuesday, July 14th. Um proposed meeting would be held at the regular time and regular location. So 7:00 here. And then also miscellaneous uh removal per classification in reviewing our current covered positions uh profile under Indiana public employees retirement system. It was noted classified as AIDS was listed. We don't have any aids position uh by title.
036To remove the position from our profile, the board would need approval uh requesting permission to re remove that classification from the current profile. And the next is consideration of use of the school bus. U this has happened several years. Clinton County Special Olympics is requested transportation to and from the uh state summer games which is held at Indiana State University in Terote, Indiana. Transportation would be on Tuesday, June 11th and return on June 14th. They take them down, drop them off and and the kids participate and then they go pick them back up. Organizations responsible for reimbursement of the cost of the driver, gas, and other expenses recommending approval of that request. The next is consideration of transfer grade levels capacity. Indiana legislators amend the Indiana code concerning education. House enrolled act 1381 required the
037governing body of a school corporation to annually establish the number of transfer students the school corporation has capacity uh to accept for each grade level and the the day which request transfers uh must be received. So the date is July 1. Uh that has not changed. The grade level has changed depending on enrollment. Uh so kindergarten at maximum 84, first grade 72, uh second 72, third 72, fourth grade 76, fifth grade 76, uh sixth grade and basically middle high school is 100. Uh and in addition the grade level guidelines programs limited to the following intense needs program 10 and the preschool program 15 and some of the considerations uh also as fundraisers. The board policy requires that all fundraiser activity be approved by the principal. The majority of fundraisers were presented in May uh with
038a couple exceptions. uh baseball team wants to host the greater be a host for greater Lafayette World Series which is mid to late July 2026. Also headed to Dair Bar um in at the state fair and hosting fall ball games sponsored by Lafayette Tournament Inc. Uh September through mid late October. And that's the miscellaneous items I have for you. >> I move we approve the miscellaneous items as presented. Second properly moved to second to approve the miscellaneous items as presented. Is there any discussion? Hearing none. All those in favor signify by saying I. >> I. >> Oppose. Same sign. That motion carries. >> Trips job care is going to several different places as part of their program. They're doing a and dates are subject to change due to availability of weather. Uh June 3rd, Nature
039Hike in Prophets Town, Frecks Farm on uh June the 10th, FFA's headed the state qualifiers and Fisers on uh June 15th. The 16th they're going to a uh program at Fisers Child Care to the Zoo in Indianapolis on the 17th and Jewel Junior Wildlife Habitat Recognition and Fishers on the 17th for the FFA.

Golf won the count. >> Yeah, >> very good information there as well. So, >> all right, that is it for our meeting. We'll take a motion to adjourn our meeting. >> I motion we adjourn the meeting. >> Second >> and properly moved in a second to adjourn our meeting. All those in favor signify by saying
041I. >> I post same sign. >> That motion carries. We are officially adjourned. Our next board meeting change updated Tuesday, July 14th at 7 o'clock p.m. here, same building. Thank you very much.
