001call the meeting to order. We have a quorum. We'll start with the pledge of allegiance. >> Pledge 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. >> Okay. The only amendment to the agenda tonight is line item 12, first read of board policies. We are removing uh volume 35 number one. Motion >> move second. Any questions or discussion? All those in favor? >> All those opposed. All right. Moving on to public participation which I don't have any. Uh so the next item uh to present plaques to students of the month of August. So we will start at the high school. So since this is the first time we have been asked to do this for
002a while, um I didn't tell our teachers to go into a great deal of detail and write paragraph after paragraph. So, I'm going to recognize Carson Garrett tonight. Carson was nominated by Jennifer Brandon. And here's her brief statement. I think it's it's plenty. Carson Garrett is off to a great start as a senior leader. She is president of the student council and the National Honor Society. She has helped organize and run meetings and plan activities for the student body. Of course, her grades are always exemplary. Exemplary. That was hard for me to say tonight. and you will find her helping others. I will tell you the first time I saw Carson was in the cafeteria two years ago. Carson sits at her table, she says a blessing before she eats. So that gives you some
003idea of what type of young lady she is. No matter who sits at her table, she talks to them and makes them feel like they are important. Not all of our students do that. Not all of our adults do that. So, congratulations, Carson. Come on up. [Applause] >> Um, I'm here with my mom, my dad, my aunt, my grandma, and >> please stand. Have them stand. We want to know who they are. Congratulations. >> Moving on to the middle school. Maddie Carol is not here today, but Maddie Carol was our student of the month for August. Um she is a eighth grade student at Union County Middle School. She excels not only academically, but also um she is a three sport athlete that at the middle school and then also um additional play sports outside
004of school. So, she um recently had a story told even after she was nominated as student of the month. One of our teachers had come back from the cross country meet. I was like, "You'll have to hear about this." Not only did she win um and was done for several minutes before the next people came came in, she um there was a a student from a different team that had collapsed and Maddie had went back and then helped her finish and was like, "You just wouldn't believe this." And I was like, "Oh, that is a wonderful story." But I definitely believe it because she is such a such a positive leader. Um always trying to help push people to their fullest potential and and be a great um role model to her peers. So hero
005will have to get this to her, but we are very proud of her and happy to have her as part of our school corporation. [Applause] Moving on to All right. My August student of the month is Maverick Miller. You want to stand up here? >> He's a second grader. He Mrs. Beck nominated him. He was nominated because he has just been the best role model for his classmates. He's participated in all of the new classroom procedures and getting to know his classmates and teachers and he's just been an excellent role model. So, we're so proud of you. >> Mom, dad, and sister and little baby brother. And parents, we want would you please stand so we can welcome you here tonight. >> Thank you for coming. >> I'd like to introduce everybody to Miss Piper.
006Come around this way. >> Beautiful. This is Piper. Mrs. Roki nominated Piper because she said that she's always kind to others and treating everyone right no matter how they act towards her. She makes smart decisions and is a great problem solver and she tries to solve things on her own before asking an adult. She always tries her best and doesn't give up even when things may be difficult for her. So we are happy to present this to you Miss [Applause] Okay, she would like me to say that her mom and dad and brother Riff are also here. So, thank you for joining us. >> Now, I know you all are just dying to stay for the board meeting, but you are welcome to leave at this time if you'd like to. But thank you very
007much for coming tonight and congratulations [Applause] Okay, at this time we will pause the regular meeting at 7:08 to welcome the new hires. Any new hires here today? Would you like to stand up and introduce yourself? >> Sorry to put you on the spot. All right. >> Hi, I'm Caitlyn Stoner. I'm at le I'm a teacher apprentice there this year. >> Thank you for coming. [Applause] >> Thank you. We have uh refreshments back there. Help yourself, everyone. Help yourself. >> I'll go first. >> They were big. I ran down and got >> everything >> first. >> Keep it up. >> What do you have over That's just my backyard. >> Said this is a central Illinois. Indiana, Ohio is the dest place in the country. Moving on to building updates. We'll start with College Corner.
008>> All right. Um, enrollment is actually down 20 from last year. Um, we have a small kindergarten class, so that's playing the role. Um, our last really large class is in fifth grade, so uh, wish we could hold on to them for one more couple more years to keep that up, but um, that is definitely I noticed when I typed that in today from last year that it was really down. Um, so I just wanted to share that. We have a pep rally this Friday. It's our first one. We'll recognize the character trait winners. Piper's one of them, but there will be others. Um, we have a Trojan Trot 5K this Saturday in College Corner for or Sunday, I'm sorry, for the first time ever. So, we're looking forward to that. Um, picture days coming
009up and then our title one meetings listed there. Those are our character treat winners that will be recognized on Friday. And then you can see some different things happening from August. Uh, there are some kinder students learning about safe and kind words. Uh, third grade students are building writing stamina there. So, how long can you write without putting your pencil down? Um, there's a backpack STEM challenge there they built in the first couple weeks of school out of different materials. I thought that was fun. Author's chair is where they share a part of their writing or she picks a person to share a part. Um, so that's in fifth grade there. Fourth graders make duct tape wallets because they have a token economy and they have to, you know, get paid for their jobs and
010pay rent and all those things uh like real humans. Um, So, it's really good for them to learn how to do. And then I did put pictures of the new office on the very back. So, you can see um that's Mrs. Brock's desk area now. You can see that sliding window. This stairwell is coming up to the hallway where the new entrance is. And so, that's our new main entrance. We got a very large number one to put on that door. So, if you're confused, you will see the number one. Um it's very large and easy to see. And then you can see this is the hallway looking at it from the outside. So it's like a hallway built within a hallway there. And then this other picture with the sliding window. That is the
011hallway that you enter into. So we'd love for you to come see it in person, but I thought you might like to see it otherwise as well. So any questions? >> I do have one since I got so many of them. >> Sure. >> Why is the trot on Sunday morning? Yeah, the truck's on Sunday morning because that was the only available day he had in September. We tried Saturdays. >> There's a racing company you have to rent from to be able to get the equipment. So, they time everybody. They'll have little racing like a real 5K. Um, so moving forward, we won't do that obviously, but that's just our first one. >> But they're having a church service at >> Yeah, the church service. >> I heard that. I just >> They have a
012facility use form. They're having the church service at the school prior to >> No, I heard all that. I just >> wondered where how it started at Sunday morning. >> That is why. >> Yep. Any other questions? >> It's very secure. I got locked in at my meeting. >> Emerson also after school. She was like, I couldn't get out. >> I know. I was like I had to call. I was like, I can somebody can let me out. >> Yeah, for sure. All right. Thank you. >> Moving on the lees. Good evening. Our enrollment is currently at 326. We're down two from August. We're also down about 20 from this time last year. Um upcoming events, um homecoming week will be included in that with some dress up days and fun activities for the kids.
013We will have our title one parent meeting. PTO will be right after school and then the parent meeting will be after that and then our picture day is at the end of the month. We have a lot of fun things happening. Um every Friday um the math scientists deliver mail to the office and the kindergarteners get to do science experiments and our kindergarten teachers become mad scientists. Wig and all um the the kids in the bottom pictures um they hang letters from the trees. Um, and they go on a letter hunt, a chicka chicka boom boom letter hunt. On the back, um, we had a class learning about life cycles and they, um, actually took a butterfly through all of the cycles and then released it out on the playground area. And then we have
014students who are using some of the new uh, letter tiles and mats to to look at letters and sound recognition. You can see the excitement of them getting the right one. It's amazing to watch the growth this time of year. So, lots of fun things happening. Any questions? Moving on to the high school. >> Good evening again. Um, as you see, our enrollment's down as well as the other buildings. Uh, I think we were 352 last month. We had quite a few kids that were in limbo. Then they weren't coming to school, but we were still counting them because we didn't know if they were going to show up. So, several of them have moved. Several have gone to online school and a couple of them have gone to home school. So, um, we did
015gain another one today, so that number should be 338, but they're not in the system. They are they are coming. We've mentioned this before, but I'd like to congratulate Casey Brewbaker. She was our teacher of the year at the high school, but she found out that she was one of the top seven finalists in the state. Uh she went to Indianapolis, interviewed on August 21st, and she found out at the end of last week that she did not make the top three. But what a showing for one of our own. picture on the left there is uh the day we had a hallway parade for her that she didn't know about. I was in with her in Mr. Null's office and we walked back and the whole school was in the hallway waiting for her
016and that was that look was right after the you're dead look that she gave me. Then there's her official teacher of the year picture that was taken in Indianapolis. On the next page, you see that uh we are we will be celebrating college go week soon. That term is a little bit misleading because the state has really changed that initiative to try to get kids to start thinking about and preparing for their future. No matter what their future is, whether it's college, whether it's a four-year degree, two-year degree, some type of trade school, going into the military, or entering the workforce. And so I have listed there a few things that we're going to be asking teachers to talk about in classes if they get the chance and to encourage kids to start thinking about
017their future. Homecoming's the 19th. That's next Friday. Parade starts at 4:30. Mr. Nol's going to be in the parade. I'll be riding with him and uh I think we're going to be throwing out treats. So if you're on the parade route, get our attention. We'll we'll throw some treats toward toward you. There's a picture of our student council members today. They were making bracelets. Each student at the high school will get a homecoming bracelet made by student council. They're also making alumni pennants. I don't know why it's spelled alumno. Um I think that's because I have one crooked finger. name of alumni and their year of graduation and their school will be on their pennant and hopefully they'll bring those to the games and we'll have some fun. I would like to tell you a
018little bit about how our sports teams are doing. I know they they start going through and really the golf team is almost finished for the year. They'll be having their end of year tournament soon. Uh, as you know, our football team has had a great year. They're not 0 and one. They are actually one and two. I don't know. That crooked finger got me again. Girls golf, they are having an outstanding year. They've only lost one dual match. They are 12 and one. Uh, we have several girls that shoot in the 30s consistently. If you're a golfer and you shoot in the 30s for nine holes, that's pretty darn good. I've never done that in my life. Um, but these girls are doing it consistently. So, we have a they're young. We have a a
019very bright future with this team. Boys tennis, you know, there's only three boys on the tennis team. So, we haven't really had any doubles matches. And if you lose one of those three singles matches, you you lose the match to the other team. So, they're 0 and8 right now. Girl soccer, I've noticed quite a bit of improvement with the girls soccer team. I've seen them play a lot. They ran away with the score on Saturday, but they are right now two wins, um, four losses, and one tie. Boys soccer, they've also shown a lot of improvement through the year. They actually have more subs than they had last year. So, it's that's a good thing when you have subs in a two 40 minute halves, but the clock doesn't stop very much. So, that that
020helps us a lot. Volleyball is also young. They're four and nine for the year, and our JV three and five. I'd like to also shout out the cheerleading squad. They're doing great at our football games. And of course, if you've been to any of the games to hear the band, you know our band band sounds amazing this year. I did want to alert you that the TEC conference meeting was today. Two motions were voted on. It was not a very pleasant meeting. There is some dissension in the group. Um, Nor Eastern and Centerville wanted to leave the conference for football only because they don't feel that they're getting the competition that their players deserve when they play the rest of us. Uh, that was voted down. They were not allowed to join or to join
021another conference with just football and they weren't allowed to leave our conference. And then the other vote that was uh taken, there are several schools in the area that want to join our conference and that was voted down as well. I have a feeling that Centerville and Nor Eastern may go ahead and leave the conference altogether, not just in football, but everything. And then we'll have to decide whether we want to add two more teams to take their place or expand the conference even more. So I thought you guys should know about that. I've already introduced Carson, our student of the month. There's a picture of one of the parking places that the seniors are painting. They just got started, so there's not that many. And uh I have a picture of a cart on
022wheels that our director of student services Amy Oliger who's working on her administration degree has made a goal of her own to be out in the hallways so that she can catch kids, help them with questions they they might have and and not make it so they have to go to her office. So I thought that was something unique and she's just out amongst the kids. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to otherwise. Thanks for listening. How often does TC meet? Once a month. So, we'll know in October, 1 of October. I'm sure they were asked to let us know before that meeting if they were going to leave those two teams, but we'll know what's going on for that first meeting in October. So would it start next year or would it
023start in two years? >> Well, it would start next year. >> Next year. >> Are they undefeated in football? >> I don't know. >> Yes. >> Are they right now? Both teams, Centerville, they need to play each other. >> They will. >> We'll find out. It wasn't It was probably the least pleasant meeting I've been at with that group of gentlemen and ladies there. female principles and athletic people there. But usually camaraderie, camaraderie and joking. It wasn't that way today. It was all serious. >> So who goes to those meetings? >> Athletic directors and principles. >> I assume that was >> sometimes assistant principles will assistant athletic directors. >> Was it a public vote? >> The 54. >> It was. >> So I'm sure Centerville and Nor Eastern voted for themselves. Who else voted that
024they could leave for football only? >> Huh? >> Pardon me. >> How did we vote? >> Um, Brian wants to save the conference, >> right? >> So, he voted yes on both of them to allow them to do that. I'm I'm not sure about allowing them to leave the conference, but I know he he voted to expand. >> Okay. But he didn't Okay. Just curious. >> I can't remember. I was sitting right beside him, but I was not paying attention to folks can write them down. >> How far out are some of these other schools that want to join? >> Um, Westdale, Shannondoa, they're not they're not too far that some of the teams that are in our conference right now >> and they're not they're not big schools. >> Yeah, >> they're very comparable.
025>> We'll see. I know Newcastle is trying to form a new conference. I know Delta is was with them. So they've been trying to do that for three or four years now. Now they might have a chance to do that if Centerville. >> All right. Thanks. >> Thank you. >> Finish up with middle school. >> I know the sports stuff. A lot of the teams that were voting to come into our conference, we play in already a lot in a lot of our sports. So that would make sense to happen. Um for our enrollment, our enrollment is down seven. We're in the same boat. Um as the high school was where we're kind of all of our students we had holding on that weren't in attendance yet have now fallen off because we've tracked them
026down and made home visits and discussed where they are going. Got enrollment paperwork withdraw paperwork um transfer paperwork to different different programs and organizations. So we are down seven. We're only down four though from last year this time. So we are more steady um I would say with our our grades. Um we lost a group and kind of replaced it with the same number. So we are we are more stable um right now compared to last year but down seven from from our beginning of the year total. Here we have some classroom captures um science classes measuring waves and and seeing how they move using string. They also raised butterflies from caterpillars and have released some of them. Um, art there is are working on their projects. She's doing a project with graffiti where they
027are graffitiing their name. Um, and then painting it on a wooden fence there made of made of that old wood that she had found in the old shop classes that I'm pretty sure that they had in there from building bridges and things that she had just held on to that was there and and found useful. Um then we have students they're working on their new um reading program. We got a new reading series this year this this year. So they are online and using the book version. Some pictures there for that and some STEM projects there in science. Um we had hosted a cookout. One of the fun things we do that our cafeteria puts on is a cookout. Several times a year we try to do this on a Friday when we have hamburgers.
028We get the grill out and grill the hamburgers and they get um a lot of the fixins that they don't normally get. Um we cook the hamburgers for them outside and we listen to music and let them sit out in the sun and and have a fun fun with friends on a Friday. Um so that's always a fun thing for the the middle school to do. Um this last month we also hosted challenge day. We had several from our um own board family and and um Susan here had come to volunteer and um had a really great day. I want to say it's a really great time. It is very powerful. It's very moving. Um day they they work on be becoming their authentic selves and and being vulnerable with one another and it's very
029powerful but it is it's difficult to to be that vulnerable for those kids. So they they are a lot of hugs and a lot of tears and a lot of laughter and a lot of fun and just kind of like a a big big day. Um but it's a great program that helps kind of bring that eighth grade class together. Middle school's hard as we know when we think back to our own middle school years. Sometimes they weren't our finest moments and they and they know that and they're learning through um those things. And so I think that it really helps bring them together and show them that they're all together in some of the things that they've gone through. Um, so there are some photos there for them and we really enjoy that. Um,
030one of our biggest hurdles for middle schoolers is is getting communication home to parents. Um, and so we have tried to tackle that a couple different ways so far this year. Um, we've be using Class Dojo. Mo both the elementarymentaries are now on Class Dojo. So the families are already on there a lot. Um, so we're kind of glomming on to that and um posting a lot of our stuff that we would post on Facebook that we've got Facebook up and running, but we also want Class Dojo. We want to put more of our student photos and things like that on Class Dojo rather than having them public on Facebook and Facebook being more of like notifications of things just to kind of be more private with our students faces. Um, that's our real motivation
031for that. But then also the messaging aspect with Class Dojo. you can reach out to families as a whole group, as one class, as um you know, just a grade level at a time. There's different ways to break down communication on Pastojo. So, we've been using it for that. And then also academically, we have um weekly agendas that we're working on getting links for every class um so in onto one document. So, if a parent had their kids schedule and they want to look up what the homework was and you know they're having a hard time communicating that, they can go to one place, click on it, and see what the weekly agenda was, what homework is due, all in one place. And so, that really is going to be our way of communicating with
032parents and families and students and helping get them back on track um if they're struggling to fill out their planner the right way and bring all their homework home and things like that. Um, we have our sunshine award. Our sunshine award is our staff um award of the month. Um our first winner is Miss Michael. She's our counselor. She did um set up the challenge day so far this year and worked so hard over the summer um on our schedule as we had to change it several times and she was in um for weeks at a time coming in and reworking that and working through some challenges that we have. So she was really amazing over the summer. So the staff um celebrated her in that way. Her and Miss Miller are or Mrs. Miller
033are working on suicide prevention week this week. So you can see some of those activities and um things that they have going on. They're reading a morning announcement every day, touching on different things, helping kids heal connected. And then we have our upcoming events there. We we have lots of sports coming up. Friday is our first dance. It's an outdoor dance. Um it's more like a tailgate than it is a dance, but there's music, there's volleyball, there's cornhole, there's going to be a lot of fun things after school. Um so you want to come volunteer for that, get in touch with us and we will we have are taking volunteers um from from parents and from staff to come shop around that. Um so working on that. Any questions? Thank you. Okay, moving on to
034accept donations. We have a total amount of $10,200. >> Dave with a motion. >> Second. Any questions or discussion? >> One question. I brought this up at a past meeting about Bill Red. This money he donates goes back to support for teachers. Does that include all four buildings? >> Yes, >> it does. You'll be getting a motion next month to get a a picture or portrait of him for each building. This is amazing. >> Yeah, we have a motion by Dave, second by Michelle. Any other questions or discussion? All those in favor? I >> I >> All those opposed. >> Moving on to consent agenda. >> Um under the ECA for National Honor Society Baker's name should not be just two Definitely that just right here from National Honor Society. >> Okay. Okay. So, we
035have a claims docket of1,445,480.70. >> We'll do for personnel and everything. Yes. Dave with a motion. >> Second Jed with a second. Any questions or discussion? Again, that includes all the personnel including paper from National Honor Society. Motion by Dave, second by Jerry. All those in favor? >> I. >> All those opposed? Any abstain? 37. Okay, moving on to old business. College corner board updates. >> Um, they got the parking lot striped and the new lights in. They are going to have to trim back the trees just because there's some shadow on some of it. And when they put all that in, they went on and ran conduit so that we can add cameras to that area if we need to. That way, it's already done. So, we thank Element for thinking ahead on that
036one. Um he our superintendent Bill had several meetings this month. Nothing. Um we had to look at some of our board policies a couple of them. Um he will be um they are working on the aortionment and they think that they have a agreement and we'll probably be signing that next month hopefully. And he's going to be meeting with Randy Jud on the Ohio Merit Scholarship and then I think there's a on the drainage project. They're going to be having a meeting with the council this Thursday. The council's having a meeting on it. So, they're going to be watching to see what they're going to be doing. And that look about it. Okay. Moving on to new business. Um the hearing on the 2025 budget. So, at this time, calls the regular meeting at 7:39.
037And we'll call the budget hearing to order at the same time. >> Do you want us for not doing the book like I usually do? >> You want us to mark on these or do you want these back? >> Doing this budget. I looked at last year's number for February for the ADM count and we were at 1239. I estimated the budget of 1225 down 14 students. We're down 42 students. So this will be lower than what's marked on here that we're estimating. Uh we will bring this back on October 13th. That's not free to vote on. If you have any questions, let me know. For those of you that are new, we have three basic funds that we're using now. the education fund, the operation, and the debt service. Our pension fund we um
038paid off last year, so we no longer have that. And each one of these funds, you can read them. I don't need to go through each one of those. It tells you what's used for um where we get the money. Our problem is this year is the operation fund, the local property taxes will be losing a lot of money this year. So that state support breaks down everything that's included. And then I gave you a comparison for what uh was actual last year on the basic grant and what's estimated this year. But as I said, I was not anticipating 42 students down. I was only expecting 14. >> Can we ask questions as you go or do you want >> why do why is our local why is the operations down? Um, as you will
039see after the funding comparison on the long planning, the property tax credit loss this year was $356,400 that we have to cut in our budget. Over the next three years, 26, 27, 28 will be almost a million dollars that we have to cut from the school budget. >> This is from Senate Bill one that passed this year. And including on that is the ADM well the 65% rule that out of the education fund 65% of all that uh the support that comes in through that any revenue from the basic grant goes to teacher salaries and benefits. Um I got a report today that we are at 67.25%. So, we already meet that. Um, the utilities, most of them have contacted us. We know that they're going up anywhere from 7 to 10%. So, I just
040put 10% down there to figure into the budget. Our property insurance went up 10% last year. I just kept that in there just in case. As I said, um, the approximately 1,222 students from last month that I put in the slideshow was down 17, but with the numbers they gave us tonight, we're down 42. Those property tax loss, as I said, it's going to be a million dollars over the next three years. So, whoever is ever on the committees, they're going to need some help. Um the advertising rate is what we have this year. It's the education fund. There's no tax levy. The debt service we're going to go with uh 0.4733. Some of these numbers are a little different because in the process of this whole thing, a lot of emails went to John
041that did not come to us. So that we may not need to go this high. It depends on what some of those numbers are they gave us. I don't expect them to be that high, but we have to because we were missing a few numbers that you only get through superintendent. I don't have this email there's passwords to get into the state and they won't give it to me. So, we were locked on on that one. The bus replacement plan is a fiveyear. This is what is basically Joe's hoping for. Doesn't necessarily mean what we're going to do with the budget cuts. We will have to figure out, you will have to figure out how that how that goes. And then the capital projects, those are just estimates. We don't know what we're going to
042do, what we're not going to do. These are just some things that principles had mentioned that they are needing. questions. Come up with anything. >> What's that? To me. We probably should be Okay. Any public or board comments at this time? Not hearing any. So at 7:46 we'll journ the budget hearing. At the same time we will resume the regular meeting. >> Okay. Moving on to approval of compensation agreement. Um this is what >> uh this is what we kind of talked about at the last meeting um for central office Randy for work they did over the summer. This is what we're proven and everyone should have got a copy of that packet. what we agreed to. So >> sure that >> okay Daryl with a motion >> second with a second. Any questions or
043discussion? Which one? >> There's the Does everyone have that? >> Yeah. Daryl, are you making the motion of the third option for Randy on >> Yeah. >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> Third option. We got Jerry. You're fine with that? >> Yep. >> Okay. >> Motion by Daryl, second by Jerry. Any other questions or discussion? >> Like to thank those who spent through it for time. Appreciate. >> Any other questions or discussion? All those in favor? I. >> All those opposed No. And then moving on to the first reading, board policies, special update July 2025 and special update June 2024. Everyone should have got a numerous amount of board policies to review. Again, we're not voting on these at this time. These are just first reading. >> And I want to thank Visa for going through
044everything. We went back a lot of days and found out there were that were never approved and they they're included in this. So that's why you have first reading.
