Administrators, would you like to recognize anyone in attendance? >> Yep. Heather Schneider. >> Sorry about that. >> Stand up. >> All right. So, uh, this is Heather Schneider. So, in my observations, I found that Heather has great connections with students. She which enables her to take an individual approach to learning, which Schneider has a quiet, gentle, and caring personality. And she's able to build connections with even the most reserved students, encouraging them to open up about their lives and grow in their own way. Her creative approaches to instruction allow her to capture the attention of her students in a way that keeps them highly engaged and creative. She is collaborative, creative,
003and steady, and will always always is willing to take educational risks to support her students. She often collaborates with her team members to create lessons that are rooted in scaffolding and differentiated instruction. This commitment to planning allows her students to become successful learners. Additionally, she has a strong commitment to Holland High School and its students. She's the adviser of the Gay Straight Alliance Alliance, the GSA, and the freshman class. And she's able to bring those students from all different backgrounds to build their skills together to create a more positive learning environment. Participating in these activities helps uh Miss Mrs. Snder make Holland High School a better place for students to learn and grow. Moreover, she is a lifelong learner. She's actively seeking out professional development to hone her teaching skills and strategies and to strengthen
004her connection with students. Her communication relationship with students, parents, and the community demonstrates her deep care for her students and her work. She embodies the qualities that we value most as an educator. Compassion, creativity, collaboration, and dedication. She's not only an exceptional teacher in the classroom, but a steady, inspiring president presence in our school community. Her ability to connect with students and her willingness to take risks to support them. And her tireless commitment to the high school makes to make this a place where all students can thrive is truly is truly deserving of recognition. For these reasons, I'm proud and confident to recommend Heather for her tenure. [Music] Congratulations. >> Congratulations. >> Thanks.

Have any >> um presentations? No. Uh administrators and supervisors reports. >> Hello. Nice to see you guys. It's spirit week again, but I changed my clothes for you. It's homecoming week, so of course I was in my pajamas on sports day tomorrow. >> Um, of course it's it's homecoming week, so everybody has to participate. It's it's an exciting time. We will be um continuing our partnership with kindergarten
007and the seniors at the pep rally. So that'll that should be another sweet event this year that we'll hope to get lots of pictures. The elementary school is off to a great start. uh teachers, faculty and staff are us setting routines, procedures, most importantly establishing relationships. That's where it all starts. That's what we're working on. We kicked off the school year um with the support of our PBIS team, that's positive behavior, intervention, and support. Going over what those expectations to be respectful, responsible, and safe look like and sound like in all aspects of the bu of the building and outside. Our transportation department even brought buses out for our students to go out on the bus and see what that feels like to be on the bus and practice those rules. Not all of our
008students are bus riders, but we all get to ride a bus to a field trip. So, it's important that everybody experiences that. And then we um ended the week with a little pep rally in the cafeteria and Mr. Jacobs helped us secure our Dutchman mascot. We only made two little ones cry. We prepped up beforehand, but sometimes at Dutchman can be a little intense. Our meet the teacher event was fantastic. We took the feedback from our BLT, which is our meeting our building leadership team, and they said, "Let's try something different." Meet the teacher tonight sometimes feels a little scary for our teachers to stand in front of a room with all the grown-ups sitting in a chair. And let's be honest, sometimes the grown-ups don't want to come and sit in a chair and
009be talked to. So, we said, "Let's turn it upside down on our head." We invited students to come. We had a schoolwide scavenger hunt and it was amazing. All of our special area teachers said it was wonderful to meet so many families. Students and family members were all over the building checking off items and the last item was fine Herald Grumstead's picture and they all found it. So that was really exciting. Introduced their family members to me. So we got to practice handshakes and eye contact and introductions. It was a really nice event. um benchmarking just concluded. So with that, we've just kicked off our core data meetings is when we look at what our students baseline data is and then make decisions on who needs remediation or enrichment. Um we just had kindergarten meeting
010today and I'll tell you what was so shocking is that the students that were like, "Oh, these students need help." None of them received um preschool instruction. So it was very clear that early intervention matters, right? But we are very very hopeful and and like always that data always um catches up and students progress at their own pace. And then lastly, I just wanted to let you know that this year we have partnered with the Erie County Library. The bookmobile is coming to Holland. Our first event is scheduled for Monday. They're coming I think five or six times throughout the year. So that information is going out to families. I've been working with um Deb Kuzlowski and our librarian from last year also to do a library card drive because for our students to engage
011in the bookmobile they actually have to have their public library card with them. So Monday hopefully they'll come and we'll kick that initiative off as well. Any questions for me in the elementary school? >> Yeah. What's involved in them having to get the card? >> Oh, it's just the application and their parents just sign the application. It would just be the same way if you were to get a library card at the public library. >> And no UPK numbers. >> Um, we are solid at 38. We have a or yes, we have a class of 20, a class of 18, and we have one child on the wait list. >> Thank you. You're welcome. Any other questions for me? All right. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Hi there. I used to go last all
012the time, but now I'm second when I was working here. It's great to be back. Thank you very much for uh once again giving me this opportunity. Um I'm a lifelong learner, but I'm also it seems like a lifelong worker because I'm back in the saddle again here uh at Holland. So, as I said, it's great to be back. In the middle school, we had a great opening. Um, I think that things are running smoothly unless you've heard something different, but I think the kids uh are starting to warm up to me with to me the last few weeks. Um, I laid down some expectations the first week of school. I met with all the grade levels individually because I wanted small groups so I could have better conversations with them and answer any of
013their questions moving forward. Uh we finished our required number of fire drills for the fall which is good and the middle school will continue to practice other safety drills this week. Uh I also started work with our middle school safety committee updating our building plan which we have to submit to state by October 1st and I just want to make sure that everything is numbers are changed uh staff has changed. I just want to make sure that we have the right people in the right spots. Our seventh and eighth graders, they've completed their IE writing testing in ELA and math. And our middle school student council held elections for officers and I had an opportunity to meet them and just kind of talk to them and just give them a little bit of overview what
014their role is as far as uh when they move forward um in student council. As Kelly said, spirit week is ongoing. We have different theme days. We kind of mirror what the high school does, but we kind of change up what each day is all about. And then at the end of the week, we have a culmination, as you all know, on the calendar with uh the welcome back fun night for grades 5 through 8 starting at 6:30 to 8:30. We could use some chaper rooms if you're interested. Okay. And then lastly, I continue to make daily classroom visits because I want to get to know the kids and I want to see them as they're engaged in their instruction. And I ask questions. Um, just as I said, more or less just to kind
015of make them feel comfortable around me and know that I'm there to support them and help them with anything, you know, that they can they can do to uh improve. And that's it. Any questions for me? >> Once again, thank you. Glad to be here. Thank you. >> Hello again everybody. Uh it is homecoming week as they've both said. Um our spirit week this week has started off with Adam Sandler day. That's a new one. Never heard of that one. Kids liked it. Um >> what is it? >> They're just dressed as Adam Sandler from different movies. His normal lifestyle like he's always just in baggy gym shorts and a baggy t-shirt. So that it was a comfortable day. It was better than pajama day. Um, but they had fun with that. Um, so we
016have that this week. We have the powderpuff game. We heard from students that there was a crunch time to get from the powderpuff game, which we had planned for after school Friday to then to the dance at 7:00 uh or 7:30. So, we listened to their feedback. We were able to move the games for powderpuff to Wednesday. So, we'll have Wednesday powderpuff. We'll have Thursday like homecoming games. Um, soccer and football are actually playing that night. Obviously, not at the field at the same time. Um but we'll have the then the dance on Friday uh Friday evening as well. So we are looking for chevrons too if anyone wants a chaffron high school dance. Um so that is going on this week. The year starting off really great. Uh we finished all of our emergency
017drills, our fire drills and our lockdown drills. Trying to set a good example for the elementary. >> Yes, show off. Um, from what I've heard, and I want to make a big shout out to, uh, Josh Shields, the from the students that I've talked to at lunch, they're really excited about the lunch options this year. We've partnered with some local growers. Um, they've had corn on the cob, Migore maple for maple syrup today. So, really great job in the cafeteria this year. Um, and just it's been a kind of a good transition for the kids. Um, this year too, the building seems a lot more a lot more tight-knit, a lot closer. We aren't using the third floor, so we have more students just in the main hallways. It feels a little fuller in there,
018so that's really great. And things are starting off really strong with um our cell phone policy as usual. Now, this one's for the state, but we had it last year. For my colleagues across the region, other principles, they'll they're saying what an amazing thing it's been for their high school, and I'm trying to say I told you so to them. Um because we did it last year. So, I it's going it's working just as well as it did last year. You know, here and there there's a cell phone, but for the most part, they're away for the day. We don't see them. And um overall the atmosphere in the high school has been really great. Any questions for me? >> Both of you chef rooms on Friday. >> Yes. So we'll get more by the
019end of the week. It's just on Monday we put it out to the staff first. So >> I'm going to see how many I get. >> Okay. >> And then I'm going to make doortodoor less. >> The same. We'll get them all out by the end of the week. Just take some time. >> But any question at the end if we need somebody? Absolutely. Absolutely. But both are 6:30 to 8:30. >> Mine is 6:30 to 8:30. >> Mine's 710. >> Okay. >> Any questions for >> Hi everyone. If I haven't met you yet, I'm Emma Buckley, the new director of people personnel services and curriculums. Uh so I've been having a great time this past month meeting um all the staff, all students, teachers, and um parents as well as I come in for the
020meetings. Uh we held our first committee on special education meetings this year and we have um the schedule um being finalized for the rest of the year. On the curriculum side, uh we had our annual title one meetings during the meet the teacher nights at um all the buildings and we're also um finalizing our plans for the October 6th professional learning day uh which will be filled with a lot of collaboration um within and across departments and also we'll be having our um science of reading uh coach from Erie Tubos who's coming in to do some breakout sessions and next week we'll also be holding our first um instructional leadership team for the year, which is where our department chairs come in and uh we all meet together and talk about um what we can
021do for instructional team throughout the year. Any questions for me? >> Thank you. >> Um so the auditors are scheduled to finish up their on-site work this week, their on-site work and sampling work. That's when they gather and pull and stand over Sue's desk or Joe's desk and say, "Give us this. Hold this." Um, so a lot of credit to Sue and Joe for their patience and help with that. Um, so the once they're offsite, that's when they start to pull together the actual audited financials. So we hope to have that draft of that the first couple weeks of October to schedule the audit committee meeting hopefully before you guys leave for your uh your trip. Um, and then we will have the official presentation and the financials and any caps corrective action plans to
022approve at the October 28th meeting. Um and the vein of food service we're coming to the end of the healthy meals initiative grant. That was the grant that Pam Patterson and Christine and um Anita applied for um 2023 right before I started. So that grant award total was $150,000 and it ends at the end of this month. Um and just some of the highlights what they did with that money were those serving lines at the elementary school. all of the hydroponic grow towers that we saw kind of moved across the the building last year that was used within the the food service. Three double door freezers, chest freezers, um seven core kitchen mixers, the cook managers in each building were allowed to pick their own colors. That was kind of a cool way just to
023bring that in and as well as um conferences and a lot of professional development. There was a lot of other school food supplies and if you want the full list, I'm happy to get that to you, but that's the the highlight of it. So that grant's coming to an end and now we're looking at next applying for the farm to table farm to school grant. Um so we have that call with the grant writer tomorrow and some of Jess's ideas for that are building a greenhouse on school property. Um working with science or the environmental club, bringing that produce into obviously the cafeteria, maybe a roadside stand. So kind of a lot of ideas there. That would be another two-year grant. So, we have that call scheduled for tomorrow and hopefully can get it open.
024>> So, that's through the grant writer that I told you we hooked up with. We unless we apply, we don't pay. And if we do, um it's a few thousand depending on the grant. And then um if we actually get it, then she she actually writes it. So, that anything that it would cost to manage the grant would be written into that grant. So it won't be like a heavy lift in the business office because you know some of those grids can be like a full-time job. >> There is that district match requirement. So just depending on what we decide to apply for, we will obviously make sure that that's in line with what we can support from the general fund. And then just an update for the NRA grant. The application deadline for that
025is October 14th. Then they review the applications um January through February and they let you know when or if it's awarded sometime in March. So hurry up and wait, I guess, is the update I have for that. But hopefully we should like >> any questions. >> I don't have a lot. But the first thing I want to do though is thank everybody because really opening days went great. They really did. Um I was impressed and the buildings I've been in and out of all of the buildings, including the bus garage. Um and I have to give kudos to everybody, but I need to give kudos to every single person in that garage because they are stretched to the max. They know that, you know, we're one sore throat or way from not getting kids to
026school probably. Um we're working on plans to alleviate that. We have a full-time driver who's actually starting on the 24th. Um she's been giving us some warnings. We're hoping that alleviates things a little. Um we're mentoring, doing some work with Beth, um and helping her with some protocols and some procedures and put some things in place. We did postpone bidding. If you heard anything, I put it in my update. They were supposed to bid last week. We weren't ready. Our routes were we settled. Um and so we gave them the bid sheets. You're supposed to get them a week early, so we postponed it a week so we can get the bid sheets to and we can set up the bidding. Um so I'm very um I'm very pleased with how things are going, honestly.
027Um I started my coffee with Kathy's and um I went to the bus garage on Friday and I was actually there an hour. Um, and it was really nice and it was glad to see them and you know they they offered suggestions too. They thanked everybody for all of their efforts to try to help them. So, um, hopefully things will improve. They're going to be slow because by the time we hire somebody, it's a month and a half before they're on a bus unless they come to us with experience. So, it's just going to be a very slow roll out. Um, we do have a few open positions, some things here or there that keep coming up. I think I told you earlier, Jess was um fully staffed for a day, right? It seems like
028every time we turn around, she's got another person she's got a little position for. Um we have like a athletic studying hall position and some things that are having some difficulty with, but hopefully we will um find it. We've been creative in all of our different ways to try to advertise for um the garage. We'll see which one works. I'm at um the superintendent's conference. I'll leave Saturday and I'm back Tuesday. So, I'll be back in district Wednesday. You know, everybody knows how to find me. Um, and Carl, you won't have to be in charge this time. >> What's it? >> You won't be the guy in charge this time. >> Yeah. Um, you know, I'm I'm I'm grateful um for the great team that we have. Seriously, because things don't run smoothly if you
029don't have everybody rowing in the same direction. And it it's been great here. The teachers, the kids, everybody. So, thank you for that. Most of the rest of it I wrote to you in your updates. I don't know. >> You read them? >> Yes. >> Yeah. So, pretty much it. >> Before you cut her off. >> Oh, I'm sorry. I thought she was done. You tell me I'm done. I'm done. I did I did share with her that um Adocat has a pretty robust program of farm to table which they applied the grant. They also have they have a greenhouse. They were selling vegetables over the summer. Like there's it's a pretty big program. So I know um one of my relatives um helps with that and she said, "Yeah, anytime you want to come
030and visit, just schedule it and they can go up." >> Yeah. See how they do things and It's pretty it's pretty cool. A lot of schools have you saw East >> I mean it's obviously nothing but it'll give them some ideas about you know what they do >> right >> I wonder could be >> all right um resolved upon the recommendation of the superintendent of schools the board of education approve the requested student field trip as attached as the fine arts field trip 8B. >> Are they going to be trying to fund raise for this or >> it's at the end of that packet um somewhere in the prices? Oh, the there's the uh fundraisers as well. >> Yeah, it's run through the fine arts club. So, the there'll be Marcus is supposed to be
031here to present this. It will be fundraised by the club members as much as they would like to fundra. >> All right. May I have a motion? >> Second. >> All I am so bored. This is so fun. >> Any discussion? All in favor? >> I trip insurance. There's it's not included in this packet, >> but it is on the packet that we received at home. >> Um, I have some questions about that. So, I can just ask Mark. >> Yes, Mark. >> I didn't. >> She has questions about trip insurance because it's it's not on our packet. >> Yep. Yeah, they they do they are give they are you can sign up for trip insurance, but it's kind of like it's weird how it was explained like you don't it's only covering 50% of
032the trip and I'm like what wait a minute here? So there's there's a couple extra, right? >> Yeah, it's like 37 for option one and then it's like 49 for option two and change and then option three is you decline it. But if I were anybody, I would I mean I told Addison, you're getting you're have to put trip insurance shorts on because you never know what can happen, especially with the debacle that we had last year thing. So I don't think we'll run into that. But it's still doesn't matter, >> but I just had a question about let me know because you might have a different one that question actually. So >> yeah, >> let me know and Jason. >> I'm not sure if everyone voted. So all in favor >> I >> Any
033opposed? >> 6. All right. Resolve upon the recommendation of the superintendent of schools that the board of education adopts the following policy. This says the max temperature for buildings and facilities. Um the first read was last month. This is our second read. So need a motion. >> Second. Here we go. Any discussion? All in favor? >> Any opposed? 6. Uh resolve that the board of education establish three BO uh board of education community outreach committees, advocacy, alternative funding, and community relations involvement. May I have a motion? >> Was that was it going to be discussed? I thought it was going to be like discussion. We I wasn't sure like on the exact names of those groups. >> That's that's what we talked about exactly. >> Okay. Yep. >> So that's good. I couldn't think of
034another one for >> that. We only wanted three. That's fine. >> Yeah. >> So, do we have a motion? >> A second. >> Second that. um for discussion. I just want to say we will be posting information on our Facebook page and on the board page on the website for how people can submit their information to be involved. Um and once we have some interested parties ready to sign up then we will publish you know meeting times and and that kind of stuff. So this is the first step to officially establish um but there is more to follow very shortly to get people on these committees. Um so all in favor I >> any opposed 6. >> So the funding that you're now that you want to apply for for the home to table farm
035to table farm to school as well that could be into one of these the community relationship group right like so we get some people that can be help involved with that. >> Yep. I think that would be great because this grant it actually does require to >> most of them require participation >> partnerships. Um, and yeah, that could be PTO, that could be local. Yeah, that would be that would fit right in with that. So when we look at this form, if we could figure out how to advertise this information out because we have some really good size local growers in our town that they might be interested in getting committ as long as they don't think they have to do ton work, you know, I mean like show up, give some ideas. Yeah, we
036could say what we're specifically looking for on Facebook post too and then I'll tell you if those reach out. >> So maybe we talk figure out how we want to push the first message out. I'll get a list. We'll do something on the website. We'll get some social media out there and see if we get some interest. Okay, >> perfect. I think it's good to be specific with what we're trying to because you just if you put it out too broad, you need to be specific. At least that's what it explained. >> Okay. Uh resolve that the Holland Central School District Board of Education accepts the bid from CanCo General Contracting, Inc. for the 202526 capital outlay project as attached. May I have a motion? Second. >> Second. There we go. >> Any discussion? All
037in favor? >> Any opposed? >> 6. And this resolve that the Holland Central School District Board of Education approved the following bids received for the 2024 capital project as follows. Building Controls, Johnson Controls, Inc. to the amount of $2,174,29.99. Mechanical John W. Danforth company in the amount of $2,229,000 $655. Uh plumbing, John W. Danforth company in the amount of $511,550.68. tennis court resurfacing field turf in the amount of $178,199.95 and the playground contract landscape structures in the amount of $361,89720. I have a motion >> second. >> Any discussion? >> Does this include fixing this field too? Where? Where? >> No, that's >> all in favor. >> Any opposed? >> 6, >> I think. Yep. We have a donation uh from NGER Construction uh Roll Cub toolbox for tool storage and organization. So, thank you very
038much for the donation to Enasser Construction. Seems like they've donated a few things in. So, thank you. Um, and committee reports, anything, ECASB or rural schools? >> Well, I think we're all making our plans for NISPA. We are um I know we just got a paper today in the onboard paper. So, I suggest reading that has a lot of the resolutions in it from NISPA. Um I there's also an email that went in with the resolutions. I highly recommend you read through them and go through them and then um if you have any questions, you should, you know, um we should probably chat about them at some point. We should have probably done it prior to this meeting, but that's okay. Um the I attended ECASB delegate assembly and budget and finance meetings um last
039week or the week before and then legislative team was last week. Um at uh we we obviously went over the at budget and finance we go over the association's budget and all that. And then that legislative team um there was a survey that was taken um and we there was 18 districts that responded and then the survey results um were emerging results and emerging issues were capital project and the capital outlay focusing on funding for outdated swimming pools funding uh funding for AC in schools, mental health, zero emission buses, AI, hot day allowances, bell-to-bell ban, and then um advocating for an ontime budget. Um, so it probably, um, you know, most of us really kind of feel like the swimming pool thing is probably the push from the governor because she wants all the kids
040to have swimming lessons and things like that. And so, I mean, it it would be great if she would fund our outdated swimming pool, but I don't really see it coming to fruition too much. Um, and then, um, I would love if they would give us money for AC in the school. I mean, I'm sure everybody would love that and I don't mind advocating for it, but um it's just one of those things that's really not a priority in a in a lot of people's capital projects. Um I mean for maybe the bigger schools, but obviously with us it's just something we can't Mental health obviously is something that's very important. um zero emission buses. They say it's going by the wayside, but I don't really feel like it it will be because I mean
041we're we're interesting in that fact that we still cannot entertain having the zero emission buses yet, especially with the cost of the project to bring them in. >> But we're not alone. >> No, we're not. >> No. So, um I feel like it's it's still on our radar. Um, so that's pretty much what we talked about. Those are the things that they're going to uh we'll be focusing on. There's a resolutions dinner. Um, I'll be attending that October 9th. Um, that uh goes over the NISMA resolutions and then it'll help tie in what we're the resolutions that we'll be working on as well. And then there is a meeting with the commissioner on October 7th a dinner and I'll be attending that. And then I will be doing the NISBA annual meeting on the 16th
042at 4:00 because Tom can't. So >> cuz you're the delegate, right? >> Yeah, that one I was I just couldn't do the dinner. >> Oh, so you can do the meeting, >> I believe. So >> it's 4:00. >> Okay. >> On October, you got to be online. Read the res the resolutions. If you have any questions, email us and >> you'll be there till at least 11, maybe one. Awesome. >> Yeah. Yeah. There's >> I thought you weren't going. So, I've been reading through the resolutions and going over >> if you want to. I >> And then the convention's coming. So, I'm looking forward to going and spending some time with everybody and going to um prof professional development that they provide for us. It's always really nice that we're able to go get some
043professional development on our end. That's all I have. Can >> I just interject in there in that one? Not to put you on the spot. Do you want to talk a little bit about what you did last week? >> Yeah, I had a virtual training um for this position. It was very helpful and it kind of was a good guide for what I'm here for. Um I it kind of encouraged me to do so, but I reached out to three of the four class um supervisors and tried to secure spot at one of some of their meetings so I can talk to the class officers of um each grade in high school. And I also had a meeting with Mr. Jacobs and talk more about um today. And we have meeting scheduled for um the
044Wednesday before each board of education meeting to kind of get a feel for what the meeting will be about and for any input I have. >> And you can also attend any of our um the ECASB meetings.
