002well okay the the competition at Darien Lake this weekend went well I understand that would be 12. that ranks any other board members have anything still sticking okay we'll move on to the superintendent reports there's a couple updates for the board and as an administrator [Music] collaborations with Wayne County in terms of early interventions so there's a shortage of early intervention providers so the people who provide services to students before they become eligible for school age Services which is a lot of our upka students so we have the ability to partner with the county get some of our staff members approved to provide early intervention services that typically come through the county then we basically the district gets reimbursed for those services so we're going to move forward with that to hopefully get some more
003early intervention support for our students our student special ones but the board know that um second uh I've been invited to a state Ed training around diversity equity and inclusion so looking at the state's Frameworks and talking about how schools Implement those Dei Frameworks so that's something that'll be happening over this summer participating in and then in terms of events I would Echo the FFA banquet was this weekend and it was excellent to see the investment our students have in that program same with Cabaret night that was an awesome set of performances by show choir and our jazz band and then the elementary school students choir and band did go to Darien Lake and each earned first place in their respective category so that was awesome a great weekend for our programs here thanks okay
004we will we're also okay we'll move on to finance and operations report so I just have a couple quick things Capital project update last week we met um for the first time in a couple months because we had a little lull there so work will Begin Again on June 26th and that'll commence through the summer and the hope is that 99 of it will be completed by the start of school so we're gonna be wrapping up that project early fall and we'll be submitting the final cost report by December 31st to get that wrapped up and we will also be receiving the Disney Bond allocation will be widered on the 15th so this week Thursday so that's where we are financially with that any questions regarding Capital project at all uh then the last item
005I had is at the last meeting it was mentioned about the building tours about starting that up again especially now that the capital projects are winding down so I didn't know I thought we'd have a small discussion regarding how you want that to look make it prior to a board meeting or after or start in the fall do one building a meeting at this point I say we started the ball because School year's over so everything's gonna be cleaned in US yeah so in the past what we did was we do it wasn't every board meeting but we have we'd walk like through the elementary school one meeting um High School another meeting of that type of thing and it was to see what's going well in the school buildings what the what needs to
006be looked at as far as future capital projects like when we did the high school we went out to the field and we looked at the track and talked through the track stuff that type of thing which is not an issue now because we did that the scoreboard was a part of that but I'd also like include the old school old bus garage in that as well for one of the meetings just because that's been a topic of conversation and I know I've never actually been in that building so which might be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your point of view but I've never actually been in that building so if we're discussing what we do with it I'd kind of like to be able to see it as far as
007when we do it last time I think we did it at the start of the meeting so with people in general be able to do like five to three you need to do that yeah I'm sorry you're not gonna be able to get through like here you know are you able to do five I would be okay so try to make whatever work I'd be okay with saying 5 30 with the intent of starting the board meeting at 6 30. yeah I'm good with that that's four meetings you can do both with bus graduates in one okay so three reviews first three doors so I guess first my question would be is when is the building condition survey have you even have you talked to them and scheduled yet yes we talked about it uh
008we'll go with John Paul and we just have to coordinate so I think it would be important for us maybe to have that and walk through after that's complete okay so that we can if there's things that they indicate in the building conditions survey we can discuss them and you can kind of Point sure if it was in that way we're more informed as we discussed future plans so I think that's probably a there'd be a benefit to the board yeah our architecture engineer before that okay so in that case I'd say it's probably we don't even really have to do it until the spring because we're going to be starting a capital projects activity I know but if so if we did our if we planted the walkthroughs in the spring okay then we
009then we know we'd have that right and that could we have the building condition survey in time and then we could do the Lockers in the spring and then we can go from there I know it's a little more challenging because we also have the budget the budget stuff and that type of stuff but it just seems like being better use of our time if we know we've got it so unless you get a confirmed the commitment that we're going to have it by end of September or something but and I'll keep you posted together so but that that the reason why I was thinking if you're just playing for spring like that does inform the meeting that the meetings that we're going to approve at our next beat on our next board meeting we
010have to approve our board meetings right so hello pinpoint any pcsd okay anything else nope okay we will move on to the consent agenda items any board members have any questions or comments on the consent agenda items [Applause] there are no questions or comments can I get an emotion to approve them second all in favor all right post that motion passes the A1 sign up for Community comments overall okay we'll move on to tenure all right so tonight we are recognizing people who are earning tenure um we are going to start with our current 10-year appointment so I'm going to turn it over to Mr Dean to kick us out our first person who is receiving tenure is Amanda falling foreign certification and visual arts birth through 12. she also attended master of college for
011graduate school earning her Master's in art education may have also spent a semester in undergraduate school at De Santa International School of Art in Florence Italy so Amanda came to us four years ago and was was calling Julie Zeller in a very strong art program and really took some time to kind of find her own and develop her own kind of take on how art is going to look at the Junior Senior High School I'm so impressed with how she's done that over the past four years she's really committed to building a program seven through twelve and really fruit cases as well and working with a person involved containing here at the elementary school she does a great job connecting with students and students love being in her classroom they love taking their courses she's
012offered a bunch of different enrichments over the years since we've added that in the midday and she really looks for opportunities to find activities that will engage students and to kind of scope their creative fire she looks also for opportunities for students at risk to not graduate and we asked her two years ago to become trained in DDP and that was something a little bit outside of our comfort zone and maybe still not her favorite thing to do but she does a phenomenal job and because it's never complained once and continues to engage those students that that may be at risk of not graduating on time she does so with Grace and very very few behavioral issues even though some of those students often do have behavioral issues all in all she's just done a
013phenomenal job for us and I'm thrilled to recommend her for tenure as our art teacher at the junior senior can I get a motion to approve okay I'll second all in favor um so come on down congratulations congratulations congratulations [Applause] our next two people receiving tenure tonight are Pam McClure and Jody Phelps and I know neither of them could make it tonight but Mrs Steiner will still share the reasons that they're earning tenure before she began teaching assistant study volunteered in Canada and professors for many minutes initially hires of one to one Aid and then completed her coursework on 97 weekends while she was working the full-time particular District which I think is a joke like her dedication and hard work but she's committed for our school district academic support to students by pushing to
014study classrooms she will so many times she also needs a secondary room group and she is really a team player and is so high in the reality productive to me she is a part of the old school communication studies across the building anywhere she's needed and she always says so without complaints um he went you know last minute and she's being thrown into something that she's made invested over there again and she also helps us out with teaching College and Career to first graders and park today so she in general there's many different things throughout the building and which also helps with pray for that nice Fellowship Community she sews costumes for the musical and so and then yeah that's that's so prove it and then we have to approve her let's just approve her

017she really brings that skill of a teacher and the knowledge of the teachers of the classroom not only in math but in all kinds of areas often when you walk in the classroom it's difficult to discern who's the teacher and who's the teacher assistant that's how well Shannon works with with the teacher in the classroom but just also is a great recognition of how strong she is we're very very fortunate to be transitioning Shannon into a bit of a different role next year should be along with another teacher's system holding down what's new to us about the learning plan and so she'll be offering two or three academic support to students throughout the building and we're really excited that's a tribute to your string that's not that's not us putting her somewhere where you know
