001All right, I'd like to call the meeting to order. Please join me in the pledge of allegiance. >> I pledge of allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> All right, David, would you like to do roll call? >> Yeah. Can I help you? No. >> Andrea, >> yes. >> Anthony, >> yes. >> Rick, >> yes. >> Sarah, >> yes. >> Chanty, >> yes. >> Self, yes. >> Yes. >> All right. Public comment. We do not have anybody signed up. Correspondence and scheduled visitors. Looks like we have Bob. >> You're up, Bob. >> [laughter] >> Come up there. >> It's right up right here. >> So we can grow your question. >> Did you

002turn it on? >> I turned it on. >> Hello, my name is Bob Schwarz. I'm the SRO here at Abington High School. I was told >> I was told to complete about a 45inut um PowerPoint, [laughter] >> but then I was told we got a conference championship to win. So I'm just going to hit some highlights for you guys. >> Um >> I guess when he started here I spoke with Superintendent Walters. I said, "What do you expect?" >> And he expected me to >> insert myself into this community and into the school system. And I think I've done that. You've seen me at all the events. >> Um >> Working with the staff, working with the kids. >> Um >> and you know, that's one of my major goals. I'm not here to arrest

003the kids. I'm here to help them. I'm here to give them advice >> um and to work with them. >> And uh >> taking kids to football games, gotten them on the sidelines. Got a hug from a kid today. So I think it's working. Um, >> one of the things that I did do is coordinate all the responses to the schools with the Knox County Sheriff's Department. >> They now have >> maps of all our schools. Um, how they're going to respond if we have an emergency. Um, they will also um have access to all our schools, which came into effect right away with the fire at Blue Bell. our deputies could get into heading to allow the residents to get in there. So that was something that happened right away. We got access to

004all the schools for all the deputies have cards to get in. Um so that was something that uh you know you never know when you need it and they needed it. So, um I also changed the what we call the FTO, the field training officer protocol for the the sheriff's department that uh new deputies and existing deputies will now come and make walkthroughs through our schools just to familiarize themselves with the schools and um so that's been happening. So if you see squad cars here, you see two two squad cars or whatever it might be, that's what's going on. They've also um with the superintendent's blessings, we've had trainings here at uh this school where we've done active shooter training and we've also done active shooter training at Heading. So, those are things that are

005going on. Um so, if you see that, that's kind of what we're doing. That's some of the stuff that I've kind of put in place. Uh I was asked to be on the district threat assessment team because we have had some threats uh more so in in the county. Um haven't had any here, but we had kind of a threat here, but that was handled um internally here with myself and and principal uh Anderson. Um I've been asked to implement new protocol which is going to be an I love you guys. um which is the protocol for hold in place lockdown and everything like that. Uh I go to training here. I believe it's at the end of February and I'm hope to have that implemented in all the schools. Um sometime soon after that

006training. Uh there'll be signage coming up and and I'll be talking to the staff and and how they should operate and what I want them to do in case of emergency. I guess if there's any questions you guys have, I can I can take those now or I can hand it over. >> Bob, can you explain like some of the things that you're privy to about kids, things that might happen over the weekend? So on a daily basis I look at and it's um the it's called handle with care and uh Christy knows about I look at all the police reports and I'll look at anything that happened in Abington and I'll go through it um sometimes with Suzanne sometimes with Christy and say hey this happened do you is this one of our students?

007Um, and so I do that really on a daily basis and I'll say, "Hey, this happened, you know, do we know this kid? Who is this kid? Is this a student? What do we need to do? Is there something we need to do?" So that happens every single day. >> Do you get the Fton County ones, too? >> I do not get Fulton County. That um to my knowledge, that's still something that is up in the air to have a Knox County deputy working in Fulton County. So, I think you guys know that. He makes I will say this, Charles, that's a great question. Bob makes contact with Fulton County and has gotten us some inroads on some things we haven't been able to do before simply because he's built a relationship. It's still difficult,

008but we're in a better spot now than we were >> because about [clears throat] >> Anything else? Thank you. >> Thank you. Thank you. All right. >> This is your handout for the next guest. Bob, >> it's a book. >> They promised me a certain look like flying. >> Go ahead. >> Good evening. Um, some of you know me, some of you do not. My name is Shelley Ashbon Nelson. I am the ALOP advocate here at Abington Avon High School. I started working for the regional office of education in October of 2017. I worked my first year in the Monmouth location. Um, before I was hired here at the high school as the 21st century site coordinator. Um, it was then that I started the Twister program, which is the before and after school program.

009Um after seven years of the twister program and being the site coordinator, I transitioned last year into the um advocate, the ALOP advocate position. I continue to work for the ROE today. I'm housed here at the high school. And if you ever need to find my office, I'm straight out those doors. Take a left and I'm the next office you'll come across. So feel free to stop by anytime if you ever needed to talk or ask me any questions. I'm here tonight to talk about the ALOT program and honestly I can can say that there's no written job description that would ever say what we do in a day. Um no day is the same. Um but I can say that my overall goal and the goal for the AA program is for the students

010at AHS to graduate and go on to have a successful successful future. um getting to that point is the hardest part for some and what success looks like for one student is not what it looks like for another and that is where the the ALAP position hopes to step up and and help. So long story short, I have for 35 kids on my case load and they aren't just kids on my case load. I refer to them as my kids. Um, I'm a mama bear. If they're anywhere near me, I have anything to do with them. I care about them. I'm going to step up and do whatever I can to help them. My goal as the ALOP advocate is for them to graduate. But until they do, I promise to show up every day

011for them. Work hard to build trusting relationships um so that I can not only just help my students, but it's building relationships with my kids and their parents, their guardians, doing whatever I can to help them. Um I'll be their loudest cheerleader, their biggest supporter, someone that's there to pick them up when they fall, an honest person that listens but also steps up to have the hard conversations. and I will be the one to push them when they don't put forth the effort that I know that they can. Um, I feel very fortunate to be here at the Atown School District. Um, I I love what I do. I love the relationships that I've that I've built and I love that I get to work with the staff um from admin to custodians to the

012to the lunch ladies um the secretaries, everyone. and and to be here to talk with you all too because I know it's about the kids. Um, so that's what I have to say. >> I'm Heather Allen. I think you all know me. I've spoken a few different times for you guys. Um, so I have been within the school district for three years. Um, I transitioned over to the ROE about a year and a half ago. Um, so I am hired through the ROE and placed in the school district, mainly Abington Avon Middle School. Um, I'm excited to transition into the ALOP and be able to help select students one-on-one and their families. I've built strong relationships within this community and many students and families, several who were not engaged with our district at the time.

013Since then, I have students coming to me as a trusted adult in the school, someone who can help them through their struggles and guide them and help them when they know even if someone else is struggling as well. They know they have a voice and they are always eager to bring new ideas and even concerns up to me. Even um proposed lunch dates in my office I get a lot. Um I have had parents and guardians calling the school to help um or to ask for help with even appliances or contacts for resources around our community um for housing, emergency shelter, things like that. Um that's um definitely helped bridge the gap between the parents, guardians and our school. Um, one thing I've always thought of as a strength of mine is being able to

014relate to parents in their situations and becoming their advocate. Coming from a place of non-judgment and just want to help others has allowed me to gain these relationships around our community and within our school district. Um, I started the heading school pantry. Um, transitioned into middle school, started that full pantry. We now have a mini pantry here. So, I've been um able to pass those off to other people within the schools and just seeing that grow and the connections that they have built with the families has been um tremendous. Transitioning into ALOP will allow me to continue to help students not only succeed but thrive knowing that they will have someone they can rely on and go to. This will also allow staff to have someone else that they can rely on to help with

015their students. I've worked alongside Shelley for the past three years from outreach to the full service community school coordinator and I've seen the importance that that this program has had in this district and how extremely helpful it is not only to students and families but to the staff as well. Um this will be useful for grades four through 8th because it helps give students extra support while they transition from grade school to middle school and middle school to high school. These are the times where they will face increased academic demands, reduced structure, and new social environments. And the one thing I really kind of want to get um across is that this program helps give students the opportunity to have someone there for them to help look forward to school and to help tie learning

016into their passion and their interest through their own goals. So, when I began the ALOP um program here at the high school at the beginning of last school year, I created a slideshow that gives a brief a brief but kind of a thorough look into what the program looks like. I like to use it at events. I also like to share it with students, families, anyone that ever wants to know what the ALOP pro program looks like. So, we printed off a copy, so everybody should have one. Um, I figured we would just kind of go through the pages very quickly. Um, and then if you have any questions, like I said, reach out to us. Um, email us, stop in our offices, anything like that if you ever want to know anything. So, basically,

017what is ALOP? ALOP is alternative learning opportunities programs. It's basically, like I said, the goal is school completion rates to increase those and increase graduation rates. Um we work with students based on and referred to us through academic attendance and uh basically behavioral um categories. So they could be one, two, or all three categories. That's why they are referred to us. Um our mission statements on the next page basically we're here for the kids. We're here for whatever they need. Um and that's that's what we're about. Um who do we help and how do we help? Like Heather said, we're grades four through 12. I have high school. Students are referred based on academics, attendance, and behavior. Um, and we're here for the kids. What is the role of an advocate? We could have gone

018on forever with this one, but we won't. Um, obviously, we we meet with the kids. We meet with the kids once a week. We meet in small groups. We have our weekly check-ins. Um, we create goals. We create goals with the kids. We create goals with the kids and the parents um and the admin and and school counselor and we involve everyone in and what we feel like the kids need. Um we're here to communicate. We're here to work for the students, work for their families. Uh we both do it at the middle school and the high school. We do the weekend snack packs. Heather and I go to the truency review board. So we're here for the attendance. We're here to help the kids that are missing the school. I've been to court with

019the students that have gotten themselves in trouble outside of the school. I go, I show up for them because I want them to know I'm there to support them. Um, we've taken them to doctor's appointments and basically it's connecting them with any outside resources that they may need. >> Are we on the advocate? >> How do we monitor? >> Oh, so how we monitor student progress. So, this is done through Skyward. Um we have daily case notes that we make every time we meet with students. Um we have to enter so much data into it. Um it's all about establishing baseline data, monitoring attendance, progress, behavior. We also um are in constant contact with teachers and every staff around the building to see if um anything else is needed to be placed for them. >>

020Um I'm I probably don't need the microphone. You can hear me. Next page is the IEP which is basically also called the student success plan. We create goals. We create smart goals. They're based on achievable, realistic, timely, and specific goals. So when we sit down with the students, it's not my goal. It's what the kids want and whether what they think is achievable for them. So it's not on my timeline, it's on theirs. And it might seem very small for someone else, might be huge for the kid I'm working with. So, [clears throat] um, we work with them to help them. >> And how students benefit, aside from the one-on-one, um, mentoring, the weekly check-ins, personalized goal setting, um, it's just the fact that they know that they have an extra support person, it helps

021keep them accountable and on track for graduation, and it helps remove any barriers that they're facing. Oh, and how um families can benefit increased communication assistance um for like I said removing any barriers, access to any RO33 and a town network of resources, um home visits and transition supports as well. Um for the next one, how does the school benefit for us? We get to be an added person in the in the building that the kids get to establish a relationship with. So, it's kind of on a different level. I'm not an admin. I'm not a teacher. I'm not standing in front of them. I get to be the person that has a conversation. I figure out what they like. I I ask what they enjoy doing, what their hobbies are. I get to know

022them as as people. So, if they're referred to us because of a behavior or social emotional, we really try and understand and we can be those people that if we know they're getting escalated or we know that something's going to set them off, then they come to us. And that's the nice thing is we don't always have to seek them out. If we build those relationships, they know that we're available and they know that they can come to us. Attendance, we're on them. If they're not at school, we know. We send them texts. All my kids, most all of my kids have my phone number. Um the parents, I reach out, we email, we text, we go to the door. I've been to the door before and said, "Hey." And they're like, "Hey, Michel." And

023I'm like, "Hey, you got five minutes. I'll be in the car. Let's go." And a lot of times they do, sometimes they don't. Um, but it those are the things that we can do for our kids and for our families. Um, so academics, we monitor the grades, we monitor the missing assignments. Um, we we talk to the teachers, we talk, communication is big. That's the whole part. The teachers know that they can come to us. We work with the kids. We show it to the kids. We print it out. We highlight it. We work with with everyone in the building to make things happen. Do you guys have any questions? >> We're very fortunate to have these two ladies because they really, really care. Uh, and you can see by the work they do with

024our kids. So, I thank you both. >> Thank you. >> All right. Item number five, any additions or agenda? >> Can I get a motion to approve the agenda? >> So moved. David. >> Yes. Consent agenda. >> Second. Ready? >> Rick, >> Yes. Andrew, >> yes. >> Anthony, >> yes. Principal's reports. Mrs. Anderson, >> good evening. Um, the staff returned on January 5th. Our teachers spent the day receiving professional development from ULC on writing and um intersectionality from the ROE. Um, and on January 6th, our kids came back. Congratulations to our athletes of the week for the past month. Alex Fouch for basketball, Brenda Jennings for bowling, Trey Keenan for basketball, and Kaden Quinn for basketball. ULC spent Monday through Wednesday um of that first week at AHS working with the teachers on writing in

025the curriculum and providing feedback on instructional practices. They were also able to um mentor our new staff, which is amazing to have that opportunity. We had three students who completed all of their credit requirements and graduated early in December. So, they I think all three are going to walk in December, but we had three graduate early in December. So, it's pretty awesome. Um, congratulations to them. Our spring musical this year is The Little Mermaid. The cast has been chosen and practices have begun. We look forward to their fabulous show, which will be the weekend of March 20th through the 22nd. So, come watch that. I gave you entity counts as of the beginning of January. Also congratulations to Lucas Andrews and Anna Servin who were chosen today um as AC well actually yesterday academic all-star

026n allstate nominees. This award is given to students who um are actually it's an opportunity for an award is given to students who are high achieving in academics but are also extracurricular um student participate in extracurriculars. So, um, they now have the opportunity because they were nominated to attend a ceremony and, um, write a essay to get a scholarship for the next [snorts] step, which is pretty awesome. Um, through IHSA. Uh, and our teachers of the month for December was Natalie Nanigay and for January were Lexi Tomkins. >> Any questions for me? >> You want to pass it to her since she's next? >> It doesn't matter, but it doesn't matter. Good evening. Um, let's see. We also came back on January 5th and did some professional development. ULC was in attendance and worked with

027our teachers on um the importance of writing in all of the content areas. So, the teachers were really involved in that. They really liked that um professional development. And we also had Regina um from the ROE coming in and she's going to be working with us as well. So the professional development when we came back was great. Um January 15th we had Harvey Harrington come and speak to the student body as a whole about perseverance and overcoming obstacles. The students were engaged throughout the assembly and had great questions for him at the end. Um Harvey then spent some time at both the fifth and sixth grade lunch and the seventh and eighth grade lunch um speaking with different student leaders from various clubs and sports. And then he actually came back the next day because

028the seventh and eighth graders had such good questions for him. He actually never got to the leadership portion. So he came back and did that the next day. Um, Fosters's Voice, a club that was started through the community schools grant, has become so popular at the middle school, we've added a second meeting every month. So, we meet every other week. Um, they one week they meet on a Friday and one week they meet on a Wednesday. Um through this club we've seen confidence increase among members who attend regularly and there's a strong sense of camaraderie between the kids that are in the group and they are looking out for each other in the halls to say hi and speaking with them and even you know changing lunch tables and things like that. So it's been

029fantastic and teachers of the month were Mackenzie Kimy in December and Gretchen Manuri in January. Good evening everyone. Um, oh, do you need me to wait for you? All right, heading grade school principal Leanne Sherpie. Um, just let you know that our 100 days of school is coming up January 28th. Teacher of the month was Tony Mason. Our students of the month, Gabriella Roberts, Riley Shaw, Cora Whis, Katie Morris, Ellie Pierce, and Olivia Reid. Um, our top attendance for two months in a row goes to Miss Boyer's class. We are still doing the pop tab challenge along with the American Legion and the kids are supposed to be bringing in all their pop tabs with everyone for the Ronald McDonald House. And so far we are up to 78 pounds of pop tabs. So keep

030sending those in. That's all I have. Thank you. >> Mrs. Andrew. Okay, since those two back there pretty much stole everything I had to talk about, um I will discuss we had a technology course discussion. Uh Mark Rogers when we had a tech meeting the other day brought up that we really don't have too many technology course offerings anymore at the high school level besides the Microsoft 360 offering elective that is for all juniors so that they can learn um Microsoft Office, Excel, and PowerPoint which is what they're going to use if they go off to college anyway because college is not Google like we are. and which he is right. So, we had a discussion with Miss Anderson, Mr. Rogers, and Miss Winsky and myself to discuss possible technology courses to be offered at

031the high school next year. Um, we discussed that we want to use the staff that we currently have in place and look at what their strengths may be in different technology aspects from being able to maybe offer um courses that we're for um AutoCAD and using the equipment that we currently have available to us in Mr. Mink's um what do you call the shop? Yeah, thank you. I couldn't think of the word. In Mr. Mink's shop to um doing web design, those types of things. We'd also like to discuss, we have a beautiful broadcasting studio that is not being used and how can we get that back up and running and offering broadcasting classes to students. And so we're going to continue those discussions. Curriculum committee, [laughter] we will be um talking about this further

032tomorrow night. And as we progress in this, I'll be bringing more information about what we might be able to offer to board meetings. Any questions about that? >> So, who teaches the technology class now? >> The Microsoft 360 class right now is taught by U. Melissa Smith. >> Okay. >> Yep. So, yeah, we are looking at, you know, several options that we may have like with current staff that we have in place. Thank you. >> Kim, do you want to give us a financial report? >> Here you go, Kim. >> Um, currently our December revenue was right around 1 million. Year-to- date revenue is right around 11 million. Uh, December expenditures are about 1.85 million for December. Year-to- date, we're about 9.5 on expenditures. Uh revenue, we've pretty much exhausted, well, the tax revenue is

033pretty much exhausted. So, anything coming in for the rest of the year is basically going to be in grant funding, not local revenues. Expenditures, we're about halfway through. Salaries and benefits, obviously, is always the big bucket. So, that'll still continue to be the biggest piece of our expenditures. Um, we do have a CD coming due next week for 750,000. Uh, finance committee met before this and we are going to renew it for another six months at 3.9%. Which is getting more percent annual re better than what our money market accounts are. So, we're going to go ahead and renew that. Bills to approve. The total amount to approve is actually $686,319.3. So that's it. >> Perfect. Thank you, >> Bill. >> Just a couple of things. I'd sent you um I had sent you my

034report and then I updated it um on a few things that are going on, more than a few things that we're trying to make happen. Um and I'll continue to keep you updated on those things as they they come around. Um, one of the things that we were discussing that's really on the rise right now in education is AI and what we're going to try and do with that as far as a a district. And it's a perplexing question because we don't have a state policy yet. So, we're going to work on some things locally and try to make sure that we're trying to monitor that. and uh Mark is uh Mark has done a good job and Michelle and and the principles and we continue to talk about it. So where we we'll have

035a policy of some sort in place at some point, but it's kind of something you don't want to leave at right now. Um you uh you just don't understand what you're getting into and it's uh the kids kind of tend to figure this stuff out faster than the adults. So it it's really one of those things. So uh in far as finance is concerned everything that Kim is saying we are online with budget. So that is really good news. We are online with our budget. We are uh u as you know tax checks come to the district the first half of the year second half of the year we depend a lot on EBF and then state aid. So we're in really good shape with that and uh all the tax money has come in

036and that part of it is done. looking forward February 2nd, just so you know, is uh say thank you to our guidance counselors. It's guidance counselor week. Going to want to do something for them. We have three really good ones in this district and I appreciate them. And I wanted to add something about Bob. With us being out of the grant, Bob is now we we're free to use him at Headingmore, which is outstanding. We've done that several times. I think Leanne would attest he's been such a great help with some of our situations we've had over there. Um and and then he's really going to help us. Uh Chanty made talked about Avon definitely a concern, but Bob will be an assay and helping us get that solved. And uh so I'm I'm very

037excited that he's here. So and then our AOP gals, I think you see that they they uh 35 kids they they see every and they they're working with them and and not just them, their families. And uh it really is a benefit for us to be able to get those services. >> Any questions for me? >> Okay. Anything else? >> 11.1 press plus policy issue 120 second reading. >> That's just uh from last month, that lengthy one. It just I'm sure you guys had some night reading. >> I read that whole thing. I bet you did, buddy. >> And I wanted to stop after the first paragraph. >> Little light little light reading. [laughter] >> Read number 79, John. It'll make you jump up and down. >> You just love it that it's um it's

038only what 90 pages, I think. >> 96 96. >> Yeah. So anyway, that's that. >> 21 and 79 to get your blood boiling. >> It doesn't take much for that state. >> Yeah. Very good. Very good. >> Okay. Okay. Any other discussion with that? All right. 11.2 updated risk management plan. >> Yeah, that was should have been on last month. We discussed this back in uh November. Uh and we just didn't get it on there and we just need to get it approved. I'd sent that out to you guys a while back. >> Okay. Moving along to new business 12.1 current openings. Well, after tonight I will have boys head basketball coach and an assistant coach for >> I have zero. >> What' you say? >> I have zero. >> Zero. Thank you. Good. >>

039Okay. Item 12.2ou for school resource officer. Bill, you want to touch on that just briefly? >> Yeah, I know you sent us something. >> I set that out. Uh, it's got a lot on there. Uh, it's it is a U 7525 split and then we pay uh 25% on the on the vehicle which is benefit to not only us but the community. Um, as if I know one of the constant questions is how do you fund that? You pay this out of tort. It's a tort expense. Uh if you wanted to, you could actually pay it out of 1 cent sales tax. Uh that's a possibility, but we want to pay it out of tort. It's in our at risk play uh risk management plan. Um I worked with a a SRO position probably pretty

040much through since I was a teacher and uh I've worked with some great people. Bob is definitely one of those. Uh, and they're not here to uh, you know, what people would consider to muscle kids or do anything like that. They're here to build relationships and that's what he's doing and there's there is a benefit to that in our communities. So, I I can't reiterate that uh the importance of that position enough. >> Thank you. Any other questions or comments? the vehicle upfit of all that. That's just one one time pay thing, right? >> Correct. >> Unless something goes >> correct. >> Yeah. Then we This is the maintenance part of it. We're part of it. You know, this >> it's kind of ongoing a little bit there. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Item 12.3. Um

041proposal for the HVAC for the high school for M. >> If you remember last year at the high school, we lost some of our HVAC and we had some rooms. got pretty cold and I said this will be an ongoing um Chanty you and I talked about it and um well we have two more. So uh this would be work to get that done. >> More >> two more. Mhm. >> What's the cost? >> It'll be I think they were 12 grand each time. I think they >> Yeah, I think that's what they see. Yeah, 12 12750 for each. So 25 roughly 25,000 that'd be one cent sales dollar that's correct. We have that we certainly haven't exceeded that money this year. So we're >> it's a good thing. These are all parts of the

042building that a lot of these parts haven't been touched in years and it's a good thing to do to get >> How many more you think need to be done then? >> Once they go we'll fix them. Yeah. >> Yeah, I think so. I, you know, it's uh Ronnie's got a plan, so I just follow. >> All right. 12.4 U proposal for the epoxy floors, middle school. >> Yeah. I think if you guys remember, uh we have a we did the the bathrooms here down from the gym right by the office. They look really nice. So now we want to finish the bathrooms here, the other bathrooms that exist here in the building this summer. So that would be this summer. >> So this is for the middle school. >> At the high school, correct?
