Yes, >> Mr. Robson. >> Yes, >> Mr. Abdullah. >> Yes, >> Mr. Aker. >> Yes. >> 70. >> Are there any board reports for this evening's meeting? >> Okay, let's move on. Uh, Dr. Schaefer, do you have a superintendent report? >> This is very, very brief, but I just a couple items. First one is a construction update. Another gratuitous plug to follow me on Instagram or uh Facebook, whatever you prefer both if you would like. Um we try to uh on the daily provide as many updates about the multiple projects that we
003have going on. However, top of mind is is the middle school. We are we are on track. Um right now we are working to switch the front of the school to the rear. So, uh our our parents will be having some drop off the uh front of the school. If you've been up to the middle school, we have that uh uh fenced off. So we are expanding the parking lot on the east uh side of the middle school as well as the east access road in front of Newton Ransom. The paving the top coat of paving is happening uh today and tomorrow uh at our expanded uh faculty and visitor lot and on uh Monday we will uh pave the uh the top coat of the east access road. At that point, uh, Miss Snyder
004and I, uh, will go out and we'll, uh, uh, take some, uh, video and talk to our our families about what the the, uh, the student drop off and the end of the day will look like. Um, part of that is a little bit of a wait and see. We want to make sure uh, it's safe. We want to make sure our our buses have enough space to turn around. So on Tuesday, we'll have some buses and vans out there and we'll make a few dry runs. Um over the the next two weeks, we'll continue to uh update the community, but I just want to uh emphasize that uh progress like safety is inconvenient. Okay. It is a it is a major construction project and it looks like a construction project and we will uh
005do our very best as we work with our contractors to make sure that you know we've we've patched up all the roads, but you're still going to see a lot of construction personnel um that are out there. And as we get closer to the start of the year and uh after the school year starts, I'll I'll I'll talk a little bit more about the safety. But I want everybody to know that um safety is uh at the forefront. We spend a lot of time with our contractors. There are literally uh tens of uh safety plans out there. So uh most of the workers will be uh there before 6:30. And if they don't start uh at 6:30 a.m., then they won't start till 9:00 a.m. Uh, and we've done the same thing with staggered uh
006deliveries. So, we're doing our our very best to uh keep everybody separated uh to make sure that uh the noisiest aspects of the of the project are done in the summer and there there are very uh little distractions during the course of the year. However, it is a huge construction project and we'll do our uh very best to update everybody and um you know to make it seem like there's absolutely no changes occurring up at the middle school. So, that's the uh update on on the middle school. The high school is uh progressing along. We've we've uh finished the multi-purpose field. We finished our expansion or actually our visitor bleachers. And then we are uh now uh working on uh the homeside bleachers which should be done in the next uh 10 to 12 days.
007And then we'll do some cleanup there and uh work with Dr. Tion as we close down the back of the school and we start talking uh with parents and students about how they're going to access uh the road or pardon me the school. Uh with that said, there is a a parallel project which is not our project, but uh we we collaborated with South Abington Township with the uh paving of Noval Road as well as the uh sidewalks. So those are progressing, but not as fast as our as our parking lot did. Uh so we'll just continue to watch that. If I think that there's going to be a little bit more of an inconvenience there on our families as we uh begin the school year, we'll talk about that. But right now, I I
008expect that um to be done. With that said, we can't control the weather and they're not going to pave uh when it's raining out and we've had a a pretty rainy spring in the beginning of the summer. Um it's it's uh it's cooled down a little bit in the last uh a couple weeks, but um that definitely could impact the project. So, we'll we'll give everybody a heads up on that as we become uh get closer to start of school. I have a couple certificates, right? Right. It's kind of like PBIS for adults. Um Mr. Robson, we have a very uh special certificate here for you. uh 10 years of service. So, congratulations to Phil and Rod. Believe it or not, yep, you get a certificate, too, that you can bring home to your family.
009Put it on the mantle uh for uh five years of service. >> There you go. >> Like five minutes. >> Just Just remember that when you're sitting on your couch and you get angry and you say, "I'm going to run for school board." This is a long-term commitment. With that said, if there isn't any um comments, anybody have any comments? Leanne, do you have a comment? >> I might. >> Does everybody know? >> They do now. >> Whoa. So, >> you brute. >> Who's gonna start? >> Happy birthday. >> Too old. Too old. >> Okay. And Mr. Snider, are you ready >> for the start of school? No, nobody's singing here. She's like, "What?" >> No, >> I tried. >> Okay. Uh, the next portion of our meeting is for public comment. If someone would
010like to get up and make a public comment, we ask you to get up, state your name, where you live, uh, and try and keep your comments to three minutes. Uh, we'll make an exception for Mrs. Fion. But um is there anyone that would like to address the board? Uh in that case, we'll move on to our next item, which is the treasurer's uh report. And I note our treasurer is not here. >> Buler, >> he's looking at me. I don't have the treasur. Um, I think we will make the treasures report at the next meeting. >> I think that would be a great idea. >> Uh, we apologize to the public for not having it, but uh, our key person was not here. >> That's right. But we still don't have a state budget.
011So, you know, >> we don't have a state budget. >> It's it's posted minus the 35% we're supposed to get from the state, but that's >> the treasured. >> Okay. Uh, Dr. Schaefer, on to you. >> All right. Uh, Mr. I could ask the board consider a motion to approve the personnel report as presented. >> So moved. >> Second >> on the motion. >> Roll call, please. >> Mrs. Roll, please. >> Mrs. Henderson. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Hillibbran. >> Yes. >> Mr. Moran. >> Yes. >> Mr. Robson. >> Yes. >> Mr. Abdella. >> Yes. >> Mr. Azar.
