001Starting off with the pledge of allegiance. So I'll do it for this. I pledge algiance 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. And our vision statement, empowered equity students who are prepared for a lifetime of opportunity and success. Next on our agenda is uh what we call tell me something good. It's an opportunity for uh members of the board to uh give something positive they've seen uh through the school or with some of our students or in the community. So open up the floor to anybody that wants to uh help tell us something good. I think I would just like to mention I noticed um even today I think it was the girls volleyball
002team just or academic excellence. I think we've seen that with the some of our tennis teams. And so, just a shout out to our students who um continue to stay busy through athletics, but maintain just such high academic standing. I think it's a real tell of just what our how our teachers and our coaches and everybody's working together. And so, that's just such an incredible recognition to continue to have with our students. Thank you, Jim. I'd like to give a shout out to our faculty and staff along with our first responders who turned out in great numbers at the Elks a couple weeks ago for Officer Maddox and his wife. She uh I guess is is battling cancer and they did a fundraiser and uh I know the Elk staff was overwhelmed not expecting that
003many people and they raised a a great amount of money for them and it was just great to see uh all the people that turned out for him. Yeah. Uh, I'm excited. Um, Coach Newton is taking the middle school kids to Indiana Wesleyan for um camp and um I'm just excited to see the new coach get involved with the youth and and um kind of get them excited for the high school. So, that's great. And we did have uh several of our students go to the IHSAA leadership summit at Motor Speedway. So that was also came up several times during the athletic director um interview. So it was nice to see um those I think there were six of them that ended up down there. So so that was uh it was good to see
004as well. It's a great program. All right. Well, thank you all for con contributing to that. Next on the agenda is comments from the community. Uh we had nobody signed up for uh this evening to speak. Uh so we will move on to the consent agenda. Um we uh we need approval of the consent agenda which contain the approval of our minutes from our regular session in June uh 2025. We have approval of claims. We have payroll uh from June 30th and uh July 3rd and accounts payable claims from July of 2025. Uh we have approval of a personnel report which I'll read at the conclusion of this. And then we also have approval of field trips uh for the cheerleader Disney trip in November of 2025. And then as Andrea mentioned, we have the
005boys basketball overnight camp in July um 2025. And then we also have the approval uh to accept donations from the Boys and Girls Club of Typton County uh for the I Ready uh partnership. So, let me read the uh personnel report. Um from a on maternity leave and certified staff, we have Aaron Straer uh requesting maternity leave and Taylor Samson requesting maternity leave. uh reassignment of duties uh Rick Stilson from coordinator of special ed to special ed teacher in the middle school and we had a reduction in force of Darren Pratt uh who was a special ed teacher in the middle school classified staff we had the termination of Marvin Moss and recommendations are Natasha Surface for summer bus cleaning uh Audrey Benel for summer painting and Jod Hettinger for specialed bus aid for the
00625 and 26 school year. The ECA staff recommendations are Danielle Grub for the elementary school grade level uh team chair fifth grade and Dana Lee Pernung for seventh grade volleyball head coach uh Tom Leiday for the TCSC safety coordinator and uh Dr. Cliff Hackman for the special education coordinator. And that is our personnel report for July 8th. I would entertain a motion and a second to approve the consent agenda. I move to approve the consent agenda. Second. All right. I have a motion and a second to approve uh the agenda. Any comments or questions? Um I do. Um out of full transparency, I need to make it known that I am the administrator on the project related to the donation from the Boys and Girls Club. Um so therefore, I need to recuse myself from
007voting on that out of an abundance of caution. Thanks, Kim. All right, I have a motion and a second with one recusal. All those in favor of approving the consent agenda signify by saying I. Any opposed? Right. The motion carries. Next on our agenda is a superintendent report. Dr. Glaze, you are on. Yes. Uh it'll be a very brief uh superintendence report uh but a superintendent report nonetheless. Um, so, uh, basically you might notice that we're starting to stage our re-roofing project. Uh, some fencing, uh, some dumpsters, some different things like that, um, are starting to come up. Uh, we're hoping that they, that tear off will start as early as this week. And, uh, so we feel like that, uh, you know, that's in great shape. You might have noticed we are doing some
008sidewalk replacement as part of a, a summer project. Um, we are just trying to replace some sections that are in pretty bad shape. There's a lot of there's there's a lot that's not in amazing shape, but uh there are some worse places than others. So, we're trying to get those taken care of. Uh, also uh parking lot crack filling uh will start this week. And again, that's just something we do where we try to keep the the cracks filled so that they don't fill with water, snow, other things that can create a a big hole and uh and and a eventual crumble of our uh of our asphalt. Uh just a preventative measure. And then I did want to make the board aware that we did submit the cops uh school school security grant was
009submitted uh June 26th and that is a $500,000 federal grant with a TCSC match of of 125,000. Uh primarily what we're looking at with uh with this grant is replacing interior and some exterior doors in the high school um and also updating our camera system uh in throughout the corporation. And um I we've we've been told that we have a good shot at getting this grant. I'm not sure it'll be fully funded atund or 500,000. Uh but uh you got to go for it if you if you can. So, so, so that's kind of where we are. So, uh, anyway, so that was submitted and, uh, I will know more about that around the 1st of October. Uh, last year was actually like in September. It was pretty early. Um, so just kind of our
010upcoming coming agenda items. Uh, we will do a work session next um, next month. We're going to talk a little about the 2627 academic calendar. Um, I will after tonight share a a a drive folder that has some of our other Kasich schools and their their calendar so you kind of see what they're doing. Um, and uh we will need to have a discussion on the TAG grant. Um, the TAG grant uh it was changed considerably um during the legislative session. Um it is uh far different than what it has been. Um and we just need to have a conversation on how we may want to use those funds. And uh I will tell you and I know you'll be shocked there's not been a whole lot of guidance from the Indiana Department of Education
011which they were supposed to provide. So typically that's something that we have to approve every August. So, I'm hoping that they will delay that approval um so we can have some decent conversation and um but regardless it has to be approved one way or another and uh so we'll deal with it as it comes. Uh we have the 2025 I read data share that will be um well that will be coming out in the August meeting. Um that is still embargoed um otherwise we would be sharing it tonight. And then uh also for the August meeting, we have the approval of the certified evaluation plan. Um the evaluation plan is pretty much going to stay as it was, but we were asking some teachers to do a pilot of uh smart goals very similar to
012what we have our admin do. And u again as part of a process of maybe adding that to the evaluation in the next year, just kind of taking some volunteers to see how it works and uh and helping uh them through that process. So, pretty much a similar document to what we've had in the past. Um, I have been asked to call it something different. So, it might have a different name, but it's still going to have the uh the same same spirit and same content for the most part. And that's it. Very good. I I have one question. I didn't understand the the security grant. Yes, we we applied for that. Yes. And then the 125,000 that's that's the match comes out of it would be it would come out of operations out of
013operations. Yeah. Yeah. So is that a stipulation of if we give you you have to give a percentage. So that was my next question. 500,000 then our number goes down down. Yes. Uh last year there were some smaller corporations that were awarded I think two and 300,000. So I wouldn't be shocked if that's kind of where we are. then our match would be like half what you have. Exactly. Okay. Just trying to figure out. Yep. I get it. Absolutely. But uh the one thing that's super nice about that is it really does allow us to um we already have a pretty strong um school security, but this just makes it even better. So officer Maddox has a wish list. Yeah, I'm sure we've talked about it a lot. So So I'm sure that there will
014be a nice wish list on all of that. Absolutely. All right. Any other questions? All right. Next on our agenda is the departmental reports that were in your packet. We had uh the associate superintendent report and the technology board or the technology update from uh Stephen. I didn't know if anybody had any questions or uh food service is off. He gets a he gets a pass for July, right? All right. Uh well, that leaves us with um next on the agenda, the financial report from Brooke Cleaver. Thank you. Um for June, we ended the month with balances as follows. Um, education fund $96,281, operations fund 1,782,69010 cents. That service after hour payments um is1,58,8369 and rainy day fund remains at 2 mill2,3,83341. Um, on June 10th, we did receive the rest of our spring property
015taxes along with the financial institution, commercial vehicle, and license excise revenues. Um, and then I detailed how those were split between operations and debt service for you there. And then additionally, we received our um, local income tax dollars and supplemental payment from the county um, on June 12th for 51,16316. Very good. Thank you, Brooke. Uh any questions? Uh on to old business. Um we have uh in your packet uh the second reading and adoption of batch six of the CCHA board policy administrative guidelines and forms. Um, and I would be looking for a motion and a second uh to approve these policies upon second reading. I move to approve batch number six of CCHA board policy administrative guidelines and forms. Second. All right. Have a motion and a second to approve batch number six. All
016those in favor, would you signify by saying I? I. Any opposed? Batch six is approved. Uh on to new business. We have um an editorial comment on this. So we have approved all of these policies uh previously. Yes, there is uh because of the legislative session now there's been some changes to policies that we've already approved. So what we've got here is first reading of those changes. So we've approved all this. They've come in and messed up the sandbox. Now we got to we got to do this again. So, uh, for the public's, uh, uh, uh, awareness, it's non-discrimination and anti-harassment updates, the board's authority and philosophy update, the organization of the board update, membership updates, uh, attendance, academic engagement, and truency prevention policy update, and the e-religious instruction uh, attendance form, some anti-bullying updates,
017uh, the student suicide prevention and awareness update, uh standard of care and supervision of students updates and personal background checks and mandatory reporting updates. And then the religious release time and credit for the religious ed um is uh is updated in this in this packet and purchasing procedures and capital assets which is something new. Um and then the audio vis visual and digital recording on school property and school meetings is included. Data breach and protection the vis school visitors and parent family engagement and the updated notice of executive session forms is included in there as well. So that is first reading. We'll uh we'll we'll approve that um in in our August meeting. Uh but did want you to know that that was this is an administrative thing we've got to go through again because
018of some changes. So uh any questions on that or did I make that clear as mud? Okay, good. Um next on our agenda is the approval of the KAC uh joint services agreement. Um, in your packet is that joint services agreement between the Cookamo Area Special Ed Cooperative known as KEAC and five other school districts that include Typton Community School Corporation. Each school district must approve the joint services agreement annually. Um, so this is again kind of an administrative uh function that we're doing here in the summer lull. Uh, but I would be looking for a motion and a second to approve the KAC joint services agreement. I move to approve the KEX joint agreement. Second. I have a motion and a second to approve the K-As joint services agreement. Uh would all those in
019favor signify by saying I. I. Any opposed? All right. The motion carries. Uh next we have the approval of anou with the Darrow Chapel Early Learning Center. The purpose of this document is to outline the responsibilities of the identified agencies in the collaborative provision of services to preschool children ages 3 to five who are eligible to participate in um the Cookamo School Corporation Head Start program. TCSC as well as the other KEX schools must approve this memorandum annually. Uh the document has been uh through the approval process with Cooko School Corporation and their board of trustees. Um, I would be looking for a motion and a second to approve theou uh with Daryl Chapel. I move to approve theou with Daryl Chapel Early Learning Center. Second. I have a motion and a second to approve
020theou. All those in favor signify by saying I. I. Any opposed. Right. Motion carries. And then uh another administrative uh function for the newer board members is annually uh we're asked to roll over the administrative contracts for an additional year. All admin all administrators listed in your packet have been rated effective or highly effective during the 2425 school year. It is recommended that the administrative contracts be extended an additional year through 2627. It is good to note here that the we're not approving any salaries or any of that type of thing. those will be adjusted after the approval of the new uh CBA um occurs. So, this is just to uh roll over the contract. So, I'd be looking for a motion and a second to approve the administrative contract rollover. I move to approve
021the administrative contract rollover. I second. Thank you. Have a motion and a second to approve contract rollover. All those in favor, please signify by saying I. I. Any opposed? The motion carries. All right. Next on our agenda is the approval of the student and athletic handbooks. Uh included in your packet are updated student and athletic handbooks for the 2526 school year. The handbooks have been updated to meet new legislative requirements from the Indiana General Assembly. Um one document in memo form as it is in memo form as it changes uh for this year. And the second is the complete handbook. Uh it is the recommendation to approve the handbooks as written. I'll be looking for a motion and a second to approve the student and athletic handbooks. I move to approve the student and athletic
022handbooks. Second. I have a motion and a second to approve student and athletic handbooks. All those in favor, please question. Um, I read these and I was confused because the outlines of them were different whether they were elementary, middle school, or high school. And I found different information whether it was middle school, high school, elementary. Um for example, um under health curriculum there there's discussion about substance abuse. Um there's not it's not grouped as substance abuse. It's about uh not smoking and uh alcohol. There's no mention of no drugs. And then in other places then it talks about not vaping and cigarettes. Well, I think all of that should be consistent whether you're in elementary school, middle school or high school. And I did not see that consistency. Um, and it was just to me
023very hard to follow and it would be hard to keep up. For example, the dress code, the dress code should be the same in elementary, middle school, or high school. That's my opinion. So, um I know people did a lot of work on this, uh but to me it needs to be one student handbook and then under a specific where there is an exception. Okay, maybe we don't talk about sexual education to elementary. Okay, maybe we should. That's just one example. Okay, but we ought to be talking about not smoking, not drinking, not vaping in elementary, middle, and high school because if you only talk about it in high school, it's too too late. Any other questions or comments on the athletic or student handbooks? That is good feedback to take back. Yep. And um
024but it uh at the end of the day, we need to approve these now, Tammy. So, I understand if you vote a different way on that, that's fine. But uh we need to get these through but we will take those uh recommendations into uh uh to bear as we uh as we look at this for um uh subsequent years. So and I will say ironically that that's something that Mr. George and I were talking about uh earlier today that we that whether we have three different handbooks or a single handbook, they all need to follow kind of the same order. Yes. And um And that's something that we will be working on over the next year. I mean, literally, we had this conversation probably about four hours ago. Students in in each building. We have
025many things students in several buildings. Um, that consistency between the handbooks would be immensely helpful for families who are trying to find that. And like you said, a lot of those things, a lot of the policies, a lot of the handbooks are going to overlap. Um, there are, like you mentioned, there are going to be some that are going to be more specific and certain buildings and others. Um, but I think Dr. I think it would be a whole lot easier to keep updated if you had one. And another reference was uh there was reference to AI in one of them, but not all three of them. Well, there are some pretty smart fourth graders who might already be using AI. I'm guessing they are. Yes, I'm guessing there are. Yes. So, uh that was
026not consistent. Okay. And that's what I was looking for was the consistency and I just found it hard to follow where I was. I I think that's I I I we believe that that's a reasonable and that I literally it's kind of funny that Scott and I were talking about that earlier because I I do believe that that's one thing that we can do. We we we we did kind of a deep dive into handbooks about three years ago and tried to get everything in line as far as language and how it was used. um every time we do an update there's a potential for that to become disrupted disruptive in in any of that work. So uh again that's something that we we talked about and I believe that's something that we can accomplish
027over this next year so it is a little bit more uniform and straightforward. I'm not going to vote against it because as I said, there's been a lot of work put into all of these, but my belief is we need one. Yeah. And that gives us direction as far as next steps. I hear a committee member volunteer. It's usually mean. Well, I I tell you, it helps to have fresh eyes. I'm going to tell you because we we we see it all the time, but when you get it from a when you have somebody look at it from a fresh perspective, you know, because I know that you had a couple of things that you found, it just helps us because we don't always see it. So, so I appreciate you taking the time to
028read and taking the time to let us know about that because we will make that better and should. Thank you. Well, I don't know if there would be a way. I know that they they are uploaded to our website, but if there was a I guess a digital version that someone could go and search for. Yeah. And it would like pop up. You typed in attendance, it would pop up or tardies or, you know, sickness. You just type that in, it would pop up to that. That's actually something we can do. We could have them have it uh that's not that hard to do. Have them have it search words. Mhm. Um that's we might have to change the format a little bit on how we send those out, but that should be something that's
029a great idea. Are they email for year? I'm trying to remember. How do we distri I know we don't distribute paper copies anymore, but are they emailed so that at the start of the year families? They are they are on the websites and then uh we do give new students an actual physical copy and um but primarily we have just had them on on our website um as because we I mean we've not we've typically not emailed them to every student. Someone had asked me about that and I thought I don't know so I think maybe some people might now they are they are in our new enrollment forms. Yes. And so they theoretically Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All good suggestions. Thank you. We have a second person for the committee. So Andrew forward on
030that. So we are we are matching. Yeah. We do have a motion and a second for the approval of the student athletic handbooks. uh for uh all those in favor of approval, would you please signify by saying I I any opposed? Uh the approval is uh moving forward and uh take the rest of the comments under advisement for um future revisions. The u the next uh item on our agenda is the approval of the 2026 budget calendar. Uh, the Department of Local Government Finance requires annual approval of the budget calendar by the school board. The 26th budget calendar is in your packet and includes the dates for the public hearing on September 23rd and final approval on October uh 14th. Um, I guess I would entertain a motion and a second and then also any
031questions on the approval of uh the 2026 budget calendar. I move to approve the 2026 budget calendar. Second. I have a motion and a second. Any questions or need for clarification on the calendar. All right. All those in favor of approval, would you please signify by saying I? I. And any opposed? All right. The calendar approves. Um and then uh item next item on the agenda is the approval of the communication and supplemental materials fee. Uh recently passed HA uh 10002 allows school corporations to charge reasonable fees for non-curricular materials and supplements for instruction. Um HA 10002 revises Indiana code 2026121 to add new uh a new section C. Uh, this section does not prohibit a governing body of a school corporation or an organizer of a charter school from assessing and collecting a reasonable
032fee for supplies and materials. In your packet is a detailed description of the fee components that fit the criteria for HA uh 10002 and our recommended uh fees of $36.91 for K through2 students and 46 uh.97 uh for subsequent students. So, I'm looking for a motion and a second to approve the communication and supplemental materials fee. I move to approve our communication supplemental material fee for 2526 school year. Second. Have a motion and a second. Any questions or comments on the uh uh the supplemental material fee? Right. All those in favor of approving it of the communication and supplemental materials fee, uh, please signify by saying I. I. Any opposed? All right. Motion carries. And last but not least, uh, we have the approval of the, uh, CMC contract amendment for 2025 uh, re-roofing project.
033Um, in your packet is an amended contact contract agreement from RL Turner to serve as our construction manager for the re-rofing project. The amendment comes from the original contract signed with RL Turner in 2022 at the beginning of the construction project. And the amendment simply outlines our intentions to continue working with them uh through completion of the reworking of the re-roofing project. We do have a representative from our trusted uh project person from our alternative is here if there are any questions or concerns about that. But I'm looking for an approval uh or a motion to approve and a second uh for the contract amendment for RL Turner. But hey, he came all this way and doesn't get a question some Y I move to approve the CMC content for the 2025 region project. Second.
034All right, we have a motion and a second to approve RL Turner the CMC. Um, all those in favor, please signify by saying I. Any opposed? Carry on with RL Turner. Motion carries. Um, thank you. Yeah. Other matters to come before the board this evening, uh, the advisory committees. We have September 15th, the professional learning experience. And believe it or not, folks, we have the schedule of events that includes the start of the next school year. So there goes summer. Um but uh on August 6th, staff returns all brighteyed and bushy tailed for a teacher work day, right? And then uh also on August 6 from 4 to 7 p.m. uh the Blue Devil Bash. And I know Mr. Jorski is from a conversation I had looking for board volunteers. So, if there's anybody that
035wants to help man a booth or sit in a dunk tank or wants to do something that Mr. Jorski is looking for uh should we call them volunteers? Yeah, volunteers are very great. Uh we're going to our plan is uh our super office is going to uh kind of host out families to take advantage of that double bash. We got a lot of a lot of different vendors, a lot of booths are going to be out there available. really encourage everybody to show up because um hopefully build on the success we had last year. Last year was a great success. Looking for it to be better this year. Very good. Right. So, if you are interested or you're not tied up in FFA or one of the other uh things that are going on and
036uh we could use your help at the grill or flinging potato chips or whatever it is that he'll have you end up doing. So, again, that's August 6 from 4 to 7. Uh August 7th will have a staff professional development day and August 8th uh is the first day for our students and our next meeting will be um August 12th in this room at 6:30 but we will have a work session Eric to talk about the uh the changes to the Jags. What time will that be? That will be at 5:30 and it will show up correctly. Dr. Glaze will make sure it shows up correctly on the website and all your forms. Is that is that Ron Glaze? That's Ron. My brother will make sure the assistant to the assistant superintendent. Ron Glaze. Hey
037Rob, before you adjourn, I think Amanda wanted to speak to the donation. So I was getting ready to go to that. Did you want to uh and then hopefully stay for a picture with you? Awesome. Yes. And I apologize. We have it in there as I ready. It really is major clarity. Yeah. So, but anyway, that's Yeah, we appreciate the major clarity. I'm just going to read the letter, but the check has already been Yeah, absolutely. Dear Dr. Blaze and esteemed members of the school board on behalf of Boys and Girls of County, I would like to extend our sincere appreciation for the meaningful partnership that we've established with Community School Corporation. Together we are working to expand opportunities for students and empower them to develop the skills and experiences for a successful future. We
038are proud to present a check in the amount of $6,000 and that will be $6,000 over the next year. So um in support of our workforce development grant fund program created to benefit students across the district. This investment not only reflects our shared commitment to youth success, but also reinforces our joint efforts in implementing the major major clarity systems and innovative framework designed to help students align their education with their passions, strengths, and long-term career goals. This presentation is in celebration of what we can achieve when schools and community based organizations come together to prepare students for the future. We look forward to sharing this moment with you and highlighting the direct impact this partnership will have on the young over the course of the next three years with gratitude appointments. I just wanted to
039personally um thanks to you Mr. Dors for the work that you guys did and prepared to although we didn't get what we wanted. We are ready to stand in the gap. I know we talked about JAG and yes what direction we're going to go with that and we're and I really I should have shared that with the board. We are able um JAG will continue here at Typton High School. Um they were able to fund it through some uh grants that were left over at least for another year. Um they're giving that caveat and uh and we may be able to figure out a way to get that to happen after the after the the one year which the JAG program was an important component of this grant. And uh so when we found out
040that that may be a program that it was cut, we were trying to figure out how that was going to work. But thankfully JAG reached out to us and and we were able to continue that program. And I haven't had the opportunity to say that. And it's probably good to note that um not all schools ended up with that. Jag programs were not refunded and was. So um in in the area gives us a nice nice leg up on some other schools. So, um, excellent job on that. So, thank you and thank you for Ben and and the middle school mentoring program and all the things that you collaborate with the school on as well. And we look forward to continuing that hopefully next year as well. Very good. Thanks, Amanda. All right. Well, there's
041nothing else. I'd look for a motion and a second to adjurnn. I moved. I don't Oh. I move to adjourn the July meeting. Second. Right. We have a motion and a second to adjurnn. All those uh in favor, please signify by saying I. We are adjourned until work session or till uh executive session. Yes. Thank you guys.
