006a moment to recognize by action of the board this evening, you have employed two new administrators to Chardonnay Local Schools that I'd like to introduce and recognize them at this time. First, Ms. Donna Pecone. Donna will be the principal at Park Elementary School next year. So, Donna, welcome. Thank you. Say a few words. I'm excited and honored to represent Chardonnay. It'll be my 15th year next year as an admin. I started as a kindergarten teacher, and I believe in high achievement for every single student in my building, as well as supporting that staff. So, yes, carrying on that tradition. Thanks, Dr. Shett. Also, by action of the board, we've employed this evening, this is Christina Sherwood as the new principal at Chardonnay Middle School. Christina, welcome. I'm honored to be here. I'm so grateful for
007the opportunity to be a part of the Hill Topper community. Just a year ago, I was somewhere else, and I was able to land here, and I've been so thrilled with my experience. And so, I'm really excited to move forward and be a part of the middle school. Thank you. Thank you, Christina. Okay. The next item I have is our student liaison report. We have our two student liaisons that are eagerly looking forward to Thursday, right? Oh, yes. Right? Friday, Friday. Or Friday. Oh, yeah, I guess it'll be Friday. Yeah, not a thing. I'm Kayla. I'm Abby. I'm Carrie. Do you want to do the first two? Sure. So, last week we had our Junior Senior Prom, held at the Lavera Party Center on May 10th. The thing was tangled, and it was a hit
008with all the decorations, candy, and chocolate fountain for the students. And then, after we had some after prom fun, it was held at Chardonnay High School, and there was a chance for all who attended prom to win some amazing prizes. Like my TV? Like my TV? The students had a chance to play games, including blackjack, basketball, horse races, and more. And the tickets to one of these games were used to put in for prizes, and the winners were randomly picked through little raffle bags. All right, then last Friday we had our Senior Sunset, and we just celebrated with the senior class. You wore your college sweatshirts, and we watched Ferris Bueller's Day off. This college decision day, that was last Thursday. The senior class officers held the decision day, and we just, in the gym,
009we had just a little, we all spent time together. There was, like, Cornell boards, and one of the girls, Riley, made cupcakes. I don't know if you can see in the picture, and they all have our little college logos on them. That's really cute. Yesterday we had our Powderpuff versus our Annual Junior versus Senior game. It's actually a really good game this year. It was tied 6-6 at half. And then the seniors came back in the second half and pulled away, and we won 13-6. So, yeah. What's to come? We have a baccalaureate on Wednesday. Wednesday, graduation, hopefully on Thursday outside. We all hope. And the last day is full for everybody is May 23rd. So Friday. So Friday. That's all. Thank you. Thank you, guys. Good luck in your adventures. Thank you. We will
010see you at graduation. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Madam President. That was board. Our next item is item 5.1, Superintendent's Report. Just a brief report this evening before jumping into a few recognitions that we have. I'm sorry. Hi there. So as our student liaison's reported, commencement is scheduled for Thursday, May 22nd at 7.30 p.m. on Memorial Field. We're currently evaluating the forecast. We want to get that information to parents as quickly as we can, students as quickly as we can. We will finalize that tomorrow. I would like to get out of the bag that things are not looking great for those in an outdoor event, which means that we will be moving on Friday to Parkside Church in Sugarloaf Falls, and there will be a reduced ticket of seven tickets per student for
011that event. School funding. I provided testimony to the Senate Education Committee on May 7th concerning the fair school funding plan or recommendations that the whole group has for Ohio's funding formula. The legislators will continue to work this through the House, I'm sorry, through the Senate, and probably anticipate that there will be testimony before the Senate Finance Committee next week. And then the budget will likely proceed out of the Senate and into the Conference Committee. Still June 30th, anticipated completion date. Capital improvement projects, just a couple of quick updates. We have the Phase 2 of the Transportation Business Affairs Complex that's coming to completion. Should see asphalt hopefully starting as soon as tomorrow on the site. And we should be starting to see buses at that location in the summer for operation. So very excited about
012that. We'll shift into Phase 3 with the front Building A as it's referred to, which will be largely transportation, business operations, and maintenance. And that will continue into the fall with hopefully full completion by, you know, loosely December right now is what we're projecting. Work on, everybody's seen them. If you've been on the square, the facade of the Park Elementary auditorium is underway. The security vessel field will start next week after students and staff are finished. And that'll be another break-back pace project with Park in order to get that completely finished and operational for the start of the school year. Months in the multi-purpose room wall reconstruction will also start next week. And I think, Steve, that's a mid-summer probably completion right now. So those are some of the major projects that we have going
013on. We have a great deal of end-of-the-year activities, as you heard from our liaisons, academic, performing arts, athletic events continue on into this week. So a lot happening to wrap up the school year and wish congratulations to everyone and certainly a safe summer as we transition into that summer career. So with that, if there are questions, we'll be happy to answer those. Okay, hearing none, we'll move forward with, we have a few recognitions this evening of students and staff. Our first recognition is we have four students, Michael Neely, Edie Ketchfeld, Katie Brinkley, and Ryan Wolf. And if I could ask you all to please come forward. Each of these students are being recognized for their participation in the, for receiving superior and excellent ratings at the state level. Science Fair this year is certainly an
014outstanding accomplishment. We want to congratulate you on your work. And maybe we'll, I'm not going to put you too much on the spot, but we're going to ask you just to take a moment after Mrs. Blanket shipped those certificates and share with the audience today your particular project that you did, okay? What you did, what your big learning was. Okay, first up I have here is Eden. What? Wait, Eden, is it Eden? Okay, Eden Ketchfeld has been recognized for her exceptional effort, relentless dedication, and outstanding academic achievement in earning a superior rating for her project, Ice Ice Baby, at Ohio State's Science Fair. This is the highest honor a student can receive and reflects her extraordinary hard work and passion for learning. Congratulations. You want to tell us a little bit about Ice Ice Baby?
015You want to turn around here if they want to? Here, we'll do this. Basically my project was seeing what ice, what product ice would melt the fastest. That's interesting. Well, let's get to state here and we'll get a picture with everybody once we finish this. Michael Mealy has been recognized for his exceptional effort, relentless dedication, and outstanding academic achievement in earning an excellent rating for his project, Water Bottle Dilemma, at Ohio State's Science Fair. This is the second highest honor a student can receive and reflects his extraordinary hard work and passion for learning. You want to explain Water Bottle Dilemma? So, what my project was about was which water bottle would stay coldest the longest, and in the end I found out the cheap Walmart $15 water bottle works the best. That's a great consumer
016tip. I say, tell that to my daughters, please. Ryan Wolf has been recognized for his exceptional effort, relentless dedication, and outstanding academic achievement in earning a superior rating for his project, Changed by the Elements, at Ohio State's Science Fair. This is the highest honor a student can receive and reflects his extraordinary hard work and passion for learning. You want to explain yours? Change. My project was a project about testing which bike chain oil will last the longest when left outside, where when you bike and the bike chain needs to be regularly maintained with chain oil, and I tested it by leaving it outside for two or three weeks and seeing which one had rusted the least, and found out that more well-known brands, like in this case a brand called Muc-Off, work the best. Katie
017Brinkley has been recognized for her exceptional effort, relentless dedication, and outstanding academic achievement in earning an excellent rating for her project, Popping Boba? Boba. Boba. Oh, that's those little things going, okay. Ohio State's Science Fair, this is the second highest honor a student can receive and reflects her extraordinary hard work and passion for learning. You want to tell us about your project? Popping Boba, so Boba, if many of you would know, is a little tiny sack of juice that would be put in some tea, and a lot of people call it Boba tea. My experiment was to figure out what pH would make the perfect spirit for Boba. I found out that the pH under four, like above four, would make the best. Great. Thank you. Okay. Great job. One, two, three. Thank you. Okay.
018Good job. Thank you very much. Congratulations. Thank you. Our next recognition is the R.A. Horn Award for, and the, I'm sorry, SST region for Franklin D. Walter Awards. The Raymond Horn Award goes to the outstanding student, and tonight we have Wesley Zeeman being recognized. Wesley, I think you're out in the hallway, right? Yes. I can't watch. I'm waiting for you. Hi, Wesley. Hi, Wesley. This is a great honor here to be recognizing the outstanding student. We want to congratulate you on being on the board tonight. Would you like to open all this? Congratulations. Nice job, Wesley. Thank you. Next we have the Franklin D. Walter Outstanding Educator Awards, and those are going to Jennifer Mayhew and Sarah Bednar. They're both here. And Linda? Yes, Linda. Did you want to offer anything on this recognition? So
019the SST recognizes educators from every school district who are outstanding in supporting students with disabilities. And this year we nominated two of our kindergarten teachers and the work that they have done to help students be able to participate in general education. And it takes a lot of patience to teach kindergarten to begin with, but then when you add in students with communication challenges, students who are working how to manage frustrations, these two ladies, there is not enough wonderful things to say to convey how hard they've worked and how amazing they've been to the kids this year. So we wanted to take a moment to just shout it out to everybody. So thank you. Congratulations. Thank you. Congratulations. Next we have item 5.4 is our building showcase, and Principal Craig Carroll is going to present. All
020right. Hello, everybody. I don't think I can compete with all those recognitions, but especially our youngest students leading the pledge. But I want to start off by just sharing with you that we have two members in the audience tonight that are truly integral in what this is going to communicate tonight in our building spotlight. And so Janelle Stewart and Kate Collins are here in the back. They are our counseling team at CMS. And what a better way to celebrate CMS this year by talking about student wellness and all that these two ladies have spearheaded and done. So I am going to share with you these three things up here on the screen. And those are going to give you a little bit of background on sources of strength and what that means to our building.
021Also some highlights. And in the highlights, you're going to hear from some of our students as well. And so we're also going to talk about our student wellness book study that we did throughout the community. And that was a huge success. And I know it's going to continue on in the next school year. And then as part of those testimonials, the students are going to communicate some things to you that they've learned as part of the leadership opportunities that they've had at CMS throughout our sources of strength programming. So just to give you a little bit of background on sources of strength, you see on the left-hand side there the sources wheel. And when we engage our students in our sources of strength lessons, we really ask them to pull from this wheel and what
022is their literal source of strength. It could be one thing. It could be many things. And so everything on that wheel is talked about in depth from when they enter into CMS, but also as a part of our leadership programming and opportunities for our sixth and seventh graders. And so really students and staff both explore strengths. This is often a conversation piece that I have on a poster in my office. And I know the two ladies that I mentioned talk about this a lot with our students as well. It really helps them to build resiliency because we all know that when times are tough, we have to pull from that source of strength and pull from something that we really believe in and we feel strongly about as people. I think it's a great opportunity
023to learn and practice recognizing and managing emotions as well. And kids, our students throughout their lessons that these two ladies and our homeroom teachers do as well throughout the course of the year, they really decide and they figure out, you know, I may have started believing that generosity is a strength of mine, but you know what? My family really supports me in the end, too, and I may learn that throughout this process and the years that they're at CMS. We also are really able in sixth and seventh grade to empower our students as leaders. We have sources of strength leaders in sixth and seventh grade. You're going to be hearing from some of those students in just a minute here. What the really cool thing that I've really enjoyed seeing this year are the campaigns
024that they engage in. These are student driven campaigns. We have a little bit of assistance from staff, but these are things that students buy into and believe in and orchestrate and work through throughout the year. And even to the point where I was amazed even at the beginning of the year where we had kids getting up in front of their entire grade level, their entire student body and sharing with them about this wheel, about what sources means to them already right away in I think September. Yep. It was very early in the year. So we appreciate that they can do those things. But overall, it really builds that culture of caring and connection in our buildings. And I think it normalizes that asking for help is OK because we all have to have different strengths.
025We all pull from one of those within that wheel as well as different points throughout the course of the year. So it definitely provides leadership. It is a lot of fun. And I think that it promotes a lot of advocacy both for yourself as a person, but also for others as well and more importantly. So these are some of the things that you can see. You know that we've these are pictures just representing some things that we've done throughout the year. So you've got we started off the year by engaging our staff and students in a leadership training. We partnered with our local ESC and had a couple of ladies come that are very integral into implementing sources of strength within our building. And so that's a picture of all of our leaders throughout the
026course of the year that have engaged in some of those campaigns I was talking about. One of the really cool things that that students did happen around or on conference night. And this involved parents to parents were able to come in and they were able to do a number of things. They were able to vote on a source of strength. Students were signing pledges. Parents and students were engaging in what source was the most important to them and what they utilized. And so it was a really, really great opportunity to visually display some things that stayed up for a long time, but also really help students understand that you know what I may have not known that somebody pulled from mentorship as a source of strength. Now I do. So these were some great, great
027things to open up the year. This is one of the things that I was talking about that getting out of the getting the word out campaign, as you can see in that picture on the left and on the right. I mean, this was early in the year, but the bravery, the grit, the, you know, really following through on what they believe in as leaders, you can see, you know, just an evidence of these photos. And it was for all grade levels. And honestly, they paid attention much more to the kids than they do to us. And we I think we all know that. But it was really great to hear from them right away. This was another huge one that I that I really enjoyed. You've got some staff members, some students in there that
028created being the eye and kind. And so, you know, really celebrating who they were as individuals, but also celebrating their different strengths that they pull from as well. This was also, you know, just a representative of that positive school culture at CMS. We brought back the wheel. This was what was was marketed and as example of one of the campaigns that the students did throughout the year as well. These were some different things that kids could do. I want to mention flex. You know, this is a period that we utilize in a number of different ways throughout the year. But one of the things that we did was to make sure the kids did engage and reflect upon what strength they're pulling from and what and what things that they can do to show growth
029and improve. Here's an example of some different things that, again, we asked kids to give us positive things about. We asked kids to, you know, really engage in and answer some of these questions for us. You know, I love the I love that there are so many different things that are up there. The kids can pull from when you talk about physical health, you talk about your family and friends. There are all different kinds of things that kids engage with that are healthy lifestyle choices. It's great that they feel that they have people to go to in the building as well as outside of the building. And so I love the fact that they're engaging in things about making positive friendships, too. And so here comes the kids part. How do you plan to use
030what you've learned from source of your strength to make a difference at your school or in your community? How do you use that? To encourage people to find new friends or to encourage people to invite people to your friend your child feels left out. Being part of sources of strength changed the way you think about mental health and supporting your family. Source of your strength makes you put your perspective with other people looking back how they are. Not only how you are, but your mental health. You have to think about how to help others and do what you can now and not do yourself. How has being part of sources of strength changed the way you think about mental health and supporting your friends? I support my friends a lot, but it's helped me support
031my friends more because it's been easier to know what they have been going through now since I have done sources of strength and my mental health is way better now. Can you share a time when something you learned in sources of strength helped you or someone you care about? When my brother was getting bullied, I was able to help him because I know mostly about sources of strength now. And my brother is doing a lot better and he's been able to get through the year. What strengths have you relied on during tough times and how has this program helped you see them in yourself? I relied on family support and positive friends the most because they're there for me and it's easy to go talk to them. How do you plan to use what you've
032learned from sources of strength to make a difference at your school or in your community? I'll probably use it a lot more now because last year when I wasn't in it, I was able to see all the videos that they made and it looked really fun. And now that I'm in it, I'm able to help my family and I've been able to help a lot more friends. So some real and open, honest conversations with kids. And middle school, as we all know, is a tough time. A tough time in the lives of our students. And so this really gave kids a common foundation and a common language to build upon. And the great thing is that as they come in as fourth graders, they're going to continue to learn more and more about it. And
033by the time they get to sixth and seventh grade, they can take on that leadership role and that advocacy role. And so those are ultimately what we want kids to discuss, what we want them to talk about. And you heard a very real and honest answer about some real issues and some real things that are going on and how we've empowered kids now to help address them. All right, I'm going to transition to the next big part, which was our anxious generation book study. This actually came about in a very unique way. One of my best friends from college told, I was talking to him one day on my way home from hockey on a Saturday morning. And he shared with me, he said, and he is a fifth grade teacher in New York, second
034career for him. And he said, Craig, if there's any book that you read this year, you got to read this one. And oddly enough, I think, our counseling department had also heard of the book, a few teachers had heard of the book. And all of a sudden that morphed into, hey, let's do something with this. And let's not just limit it to our staff. Let's engage the community in this, because it is a really, really important topic when it comes to student wellness and well-being. And so when you think about sources of strength, when you think about this book study, when you think about the things that kids are talking about and working through, it all made sense to engage in it this year. And so Madeline Horvath, who is a retired teacher and former
035Board of Education member, was a great, great fit in working with Kate Collins. And our CMS counseling team to really engage families in what it means to do things like having conversations around technology impact. How do we kind of battle that timeframe of engaging kids with purpose and meaning and using of devices? But how do we also engage kids in some other things that are outside of those devices? Because we know devices can present a pretty big challenge for a lot of our kids, especially the ones that are coming to the middle school. And so there was a lot of discussion around that. We publicized this well in advance. We had two different opportunities for families to come into CMS and engage with us. We had good representation each time. We made sure that if
036people didn't read the book ahead of time, there was no problem. We just want to engage in some of the topics and discussions. And it ended with a lot of really great feedback from a lot of parents. One of the things that we introduced towards the end of that was the Let Grow Challenge. And that's something that is ongoing. It's something that we engaged kids and families with prior to spring break. You see in the bottom right-hand corner there was a bingo board that we engaged families with ahead of spring break because we knew that families would have a little bit more time with their kids not coming to school. And really giving our young people credit because they can do a lot more than we think they can do. And they can do it
037well. They can do it without our help, too. And so that was really the main point in building that self-confidence, building that self-efficacy, advocating for themselves. And so you see a ton of different things there that some people might go and take a deep breath and go, oh my gosh, I need to be there. But kids started a controlled campfire on their own. They baked on their own after reading directions. They hiked on their own. They decided, I'm going to go and I'm going to walk somewhere by myself without a device in my hand. So a long time ago that was the norm for us, but these days it's not. And so we encouraged that you can fill time with things where you don't have a screen in front of you. And that was really
038the impetus behind this challenge. And I give, again, our counseling department a huge pat on the back for engaging in this and really following through, not just leading a book study with the community, but really engaging the community in something that we really believe strongly in. These are just some quotes from some of our parents and families about the LECRO Challenge and the book study. You know, you see things on there that, again, are things that maybe were new to a particular student or family, but things that they really appreciated about it. And then I'll just close with really just some lessons learned throughout the course of this year. I think that everyone can impact wellness. Every one of us in this room, all of our students, they can do it for their siblings, they
039can do it for their peers and their friends, but they really can impact. And when everyone is a part of that, we can really make some gains and some growth. I think another thing that I've seen again and again throughout the course of this year is that respect is spoken and it's unspoken. But the actions that we have, the things that we do for each other and with each other are those unspoken acts, but it can also be, bless you, it can also be spoken as well in some of the things that we engage in and inviting others to be a part of something and showing respect for that strength or that source that I'm pulling from. And then finally, if it weren't for the kids, we wouldn't be here today and we wouldn't be
040here in front of you sharing all these wonderful things. The kids can take things way farther than we can ever, than we give them credit for and we owe it to them to give them that opportunity. Do I miss anything? Okay. All right. Thank you everybody. Thank you, Craig. And just a note to also thank Janelle and Kate in the back there for all your work. I know that your fingerprints are all over a lot of those initiatives and it's appreciated and thank you very much. I say as a middle school parent, I was involved in a lot of, we read the book too and everything and thank you guys both. My kids are definitely screen addicts, so we're trying to implement and learn and we appreciate it. Thank you. Moving forward, item 5.5, resolution

I have a brief comment following motion and second. We have a motion and second. Still
045moved. Second. Thank you, Madam President, members of the board. This agreement has been worked out between the law director for the City of Chardon and the school district's legal counsel. It brings to closure the issue of the traffic light installation of the intersection previously mentioned. The school district will be, under this agreement, responsible for half the cost of that project up to a maximum of $200,000. We are, upon the board's approval and city council's approval, issuing a payment to the city in the amount of $150,000 now, and the city will take on all engineering and installation and everything associated with the project. Is there any timeline for that from the city? Originally, the project was to be completed, correct me if I'm wrong, August of 27 was when Planning Commission touched the clock on it.
046This agreement does indicate that by action of the city, that timeline could be extended, but I don't believe there's any intention to extend it other than for some good reason. It would be awesome if they could move it up because that intersection, I drive through there five days a week, and the kids that cross there, I don't have to have any lighter moments. Right, it can be a little nerve wracking. I just have the alternate trying to get through there in the morning frustration, so yeah, the sooner the better, but I know nothing goes fast. We're not responsible for maintaining this one, correct? No, every city has full responsibility. Any other questions or comments concerning the traffic light? No, very none. Mrs. Clark? Yes. Mr. Albright? Yes. Mr. Nugat? Yes. Thank you Madam President. Members
047for the next item on sign 5.12, approval of the quotation with detailed flooring LLC as detailed in association with the closure, I am recommending your approval. So moved, do we have a second? Second. Okay. Any questions or comments? No. Very none. Mrs. Clark? Yes. Mr. Albright? Yes. Mr. Nugat? Yes. Thank you Madam President. Members for the final item on sign 5.13, these are board policies on second reading and approval. Those policies were presented at the last regular meeting. There are a significant number of policies. During the period for public comment, I did only receive questions from a community member on policy 5.223, release time for religious instruction. During the school day, basically about implementation of policy that requested revisions. So with that, I am recommending approval of these policies. Do we have a motion and
048a second? So moved. Do we have a second? Second. Any questions or comments about the policies? Very none. Mrs. Clark? Yes. Mr. Albright? Yes. Mr. Nugat? Yes. And Mrs. Clark? Yes. Thank you Madam President. Members for the next item on section A agenda. Thanks Mike. Thank you Madam President. Members for the board. First item on my agenda, 6.1. 6.1 is a financial summary presentation for April of 2025. The bank reconciliation, always the first report we look at every month. We end in April with $33,930,715 in the bank. See the balance book to bank. I know we've been talking about adjustments on this and you see some of the adjustments that we made. But where we cleaned up the last two months and made balance to zero. Next report we always look at is our cash
049summary. We always look at negatives in this third to last column. The only place we have negatives is athletics, which of course we know we're going to transfer at the end of the year. We're about $570,000 in the negative. We already planned on transferring about $675,000. So I think that's looking pretty good. And then again the grants, which of course we used first and then were reimbursed. We always compare to our spending plan. Look at how good this looks. Okay, so what happens in May is I re-true up the spending plan to the new forecast. So I've readjusted all the budgets to match this forecast that we're going to be looking at in a little bit. I have a surprise on that. So that's why everything is $2 from revenue, $1 from expenditure. We do
050look at our chart. On the bottom, the gray is last year's cash balance. The blue is this year's cash balance. We do predict our cash balance is going to be less on the mission than it was last year. So we look at the comparison. What happened last April? In April of 24 to April of 25. In April of 25 our revenue was $1.8 million. In 24 we collected $834,000. That's just a timing on the Homestead Enroll Backpacks. For expenditures, this year we spent $5,190,000. Last April we spent $3 million. As you can see, most of our additional expenditures are in capital outlay, and we know why, because we've been working on the transportation compound all year. Then we look at the year. Where were we last year in April and where are we this year
051in April? Our year-to-date revenue this year is $38,228,000. Last year we were at $39,762,000. We're $1.5 million less than last year. There's two reasons for that. We've been talking about it all year. You guys could probably tell it to me is the public utility collection and the moving of the $1 million to the PI fund. On expenditures, we spent $29,316,000. That, of course, is more than we spent last year, which was $28,192,000. Again, we've been saving on salaries all year. In fact, I trimmed up salaries. You can see it in the five-year forecast. We've been spending more in capital outlay or other expenses all year for the transportation compound. If we look at salaries, salaries looked kind of unique. Salaries came in at $1.1 million. We've been doing this report all year. It's usually $1.6
052million. Then there's those two months where we have three. It's usually about 2.5. Why 1.1? Well, you see the blue down at the bottom? If you recall, last month we did a transfer to the 035 fund for retirements. This year we paid our EPC retirements from 2024. Look at them. We paid them in August. We paid them out of the general fund. We wanted to move that expenditure to the 035 fund. So simply this is a swap of where this expenditure is going. We took it out of the general fund. We moved it to the 035. So it reduced our salaries for this month. Our total year-to-date salary is a little over $17 million. We've completed 21 of 26 pays. And then the annual estimate has been lowered. It was a little over $22 million.
053It's now $21,487. Two days of cash. Our average is $3.9 million, $196,000 a day. Our two days of cash, $139,000 for open purchase orders, $117,000 after, almost $118,000. This chart, we have projections. These are projections at the end. And as you can see, we know, and we talked about this all year, our two days and our cash balance is going to drop towards the end of the fiscal year. Food service. Food service had another deficit. It has three deficits spending months in a row at $35,583. And the reason I gave last month, and it still holds true, is they were a little slow on paying us our subsidy money. I can tell you just the other day we received $75,000 in subsidy money, which definitely covers the deficit for the last three months. We still
054have another $47,000 outstanding. So nothing to worry about. The food service fund is down, but we wanted it to come down this year. We did reduce lunch fees for that purpose. So the food service fund is at $707,000. Will this take a hit during summer school, too? Do we pay for stuff during summer school? Yes, we do. So we will continue to post out of this fund for summer school, yes. And we have some equipment plans. We're redoing the dishwasher at the high school. We've got three ovens we're going to do for all the elementaries. We have a few more things we want to do. Why don't we get that fund really down to between $300,000 and $500,000 is the ideal place in OBE's eyes for that fund. So now let's look at the permanent
055improvement fund, which I love to start because we're doing some really crazy things all year. But we're here in April where our fund balance is up and our revenue and expenditures are pretty much even. So let's look at our revenue. So we collected $132,016, and we had our final homestead rollback from the state comes through in April. Our year-to-date revenue, a little over $2.4 million. On the expenditure side, we spent $117,000 a little over, and we've spent year-to-date $2.8 million, which is excess spending, which is good. We bought this month, we had some elevator maintenance at the high school. We had 32 new windows at Park Elementary, and the remaining of it was copier maintenance fees, which we actually pay every single month. Lastly is our self-insurance fund. Look at it, it's heading right back
056up there as we thought it was going to. In the month of April, we actually cleared or made $290,000. So it brought our fund balance up to $2.4 million, which is almost back up to where it was when it was hovering last year. So everything looks great in the self-insurance fund. It looks like we're going to have another good month so far this month, too. Are there any questions on the monthly financials? Seeing none, let's move on to section 6.2. 6.2 is generous donations, detailed in the association. We'll see if we can pull you in recommending your approval. There they are. So moved, do we have a second? Seconded. Any questions or comments concerning donations? Well, thank you to our community. Once again, this is another donation here that is greatly appreciated by everybody in
057the district. So thank you for supporting us. Any other questions or comments? Yes, please call the roll. Is this by a good shot? Yes. Mr. Albright? Yes. Barb? Yes. Thank you, Madam Chair, members of the board. The next item in my agenda is 6.3. 6.3 is equipment and detail in the association. I recommend your approval. Do we have a motion and a second? So moved. Second. Any questions or comments? This looks like it's pretty much science. Yep, science playing out. I say it looks like fun stuff, but if it's unusable. Any other questions or comments? Would you please call the roll? Mr. Albright? Yes. Ms. Clark? Yes. Mr. McGat? Yes. Madam Chair, yes. Thank you, Madam President, members of the board. The next item in my agenda is the May 2025 five-year forecast. This is
058our second submission for fiscal year 2025. And after the first and second, I have a five-year forecast moving to for you. And then we'll take any discussion. So moved. Seconded. I'm a popcorn. We thought about that. Seriously. Okay. We'll go to the deep dive. Today we're zeroing in on the financial outlook for chartered local schools. We've got their May 2025 five-year forecast presentation. I think they're like their best guess for income and expenses over the next five years. Our goal is pretty straightforward. Pull out the important points so you can easily understand where the district's finances might be headed and route any potential bumps in the road. Exactly. And this forecast, it's kind of like their financial blueprint is put together by key people, the superintendent, assistant superintendent, folks who really know the district. Okay.
059And what's interesting right off the bat is their strategy. They plan to actively seek out grants, local, state, federal. All right. Yeah. That was the awkward part. It's a smart move to try and get pressure off their main operating fund, the general fund. Okay. So first things first. It's really important to remember this is just an estimate. It's a projection based on what they know today. Absolutely. A snapshot in time. And anyone involved in Ohio schools knows the financial landscape can shift pretty quickly. The presentation points out there are like 14 different potential laws right now that could impact funding. Yeah, 14 bills. Plus you've got the usual suspects, inflation, tariffs, how much tax actually gets collected. It's dynamic. Definitely. So this forecast, it rests on several assumptions. Things like property values in the area,
060state budget outlook, supply chain issues, interest rates. A lot of variables. A lot. And importantly, this is just looking at the general fund. That's the day-to-day operating money. Right. If you really want the nitty-gritty on the assumptions, they mention it's available in four dots. Good to know. Now to give us some context, the presentation compares this May forecast to one from November 2024. So it looks like this May version is kind of the new baseline. What joked out at you in that comparison? Well, the biggest thing is the starting cash balance for 2025. It's lower in this May forecast compared to November. Okay. Why is that? Two main reasons given. Plan transfers totaling $2.5 million out of the general fund. Some goes to capital projects for like long-term building stuff. And some to a severance
061fund. Gotcha. And they also shifted some spending for a transportation facility. Pushing costs originally planned for 2026 in that capital projects fund instead. And it seems like they're also anticipating some savings down the line right from retirement. Yes, exactly. Yeah. The forecast shows lower projected spending from 2026 to 2029. That's linked to savings they've seen over the last couple of years when replacing retiring staff. So keeping an eye on those long-term staffing costs. Just like it. So putting it all together then, what's the big picture from this May forecast? What are they trying to achieve financially over these five years? Well, the main goal they state is aligning the finances with their district success plan for 2023-2028. Okay. That plan covers things like safety, facilities, communication, fiscal responsibility, and student learning. Looking at the numbers,
062both revenue and spending are generally projected to go up. There's usually a but. But yeah, the key thing is they expect expenses to grow faster than revenue. Especially in the later years. That means the cash reserves, their savings count basically is projected to go down. And they show that visually in the presentation on the Aon Flight 7. They do. There's a chart. When a gray bar is higher than a black bar, that signals deficit spending more than income for that year. And there's a gold line showing that cash balance increasing over time. Okay. Let's dig into the income side then. Where's the money expected to come from? So comparing the total five-year revenue estimates, this May forecast is actually slightly lower than the November one. Interesting. Any big changes and assumptions there? A couple key
063ones. They actually increased their expected local tax collection rate for 2025 from 98% to over 99%. Okay. That's positive. But they lowered their expectations for state funding from 2026 onwards based on the governor's budget proposals at the time. Great. State funding is always a big question mark. So what are the main income sources overall? The biggest slice by far comes from local taxes. Okay. About 68% altogether, mostly property taxes, plus some from public utilities. Okay. State funding makes up around 22%. That includes general aid and the state's share related to local taxes. Then the last 10% is, you know, other bits and pieces. And they noticed that jump in revenue in 2024. Yeah, they explained that. And apparently a delayed public utility payment came through, plus an extra $1.1 million. Yeah. So kind of a
064one-off bump. Got it. So moving forward, property taxes are crucial. Their forecast includes a big property value increase from 2023, adjusted for state law, and assumes a high collection rate. But they also expect interest income to gradually decline from 2026. Okay. Now let's flip to the other side. Where is the money going? What are the biggest spending areas? All right. On the expenditure side, the total estimated spending over five years is actually higher than this May forecast compared to November. Higher spending. What changed? It is that $2.5 million transfer to capital projects and severance in 2025 we talked about. That's now factored in. They also adjusted the timing and funding source for the transportation facility and baked in those low salary costs for retirement. So where does most of the money get spent day to
065day? Personnel is the big one. Salaries and benefits together make up about 65% of their spending. That's typical for schools. Very typical. Then you've got purchase services like outside contracts that are around 8%. The rest, about 27%, cover supplies, capital costs, debt, other operations. And spending is generally going up. Yes. Projected to increase annually. There's a noticeable bump in the 2023-2025 period, which includes building that new transportation and business facility, even with some funding shifted. What's driving those increases, mainly? Yeah. Benefits? Salaries? Both are significant. The forecast assumes benefit cost increases of 7% than 9% annually for 2026. Wow. 9%? Yes. Significant jumps. And they negotiated salary agreements with staff run through 2028 with smaller increases factored in. Plus, they budgeted for summer school and allocated more for substitute teachers. It's not just about the
066raw numbers, though, is it? The presentation mentions accomplishments that feed into this. Absolutely. They highlight things like eliminating student fees, supplies, activities, athletics through 2029. That's a cost they're absorbing. That's significant for families. Definitely. They also mentioned ongoing curriculum work, new textbooks, college credit classes. And having those staff contracts settled through 2028 provides subpredictability. Plus, progress on facilities like the transportation compound, new secure entrances, cluster funds, tech upgrades, those were all factored in. But even with all that planning, there are always unknowns, potential challenges. What are the big worries? Yeah, this is slide 17. It's mainly about potential state law changes. That Ohio budget process, HB96, is huge. Different proposals from the governor and the House could really change their state funding picture and help property tax impacts play out. Then there's talk about a
067minimum teacher salary statewide, HB191, that could push their personnel costs up. And a couple of bills, SB2 and SB116, could change how utilities and pipelines are taxed locally, which could hit their local revenue. Another one, HB89, proposes temporary property tax reductions. Lots of moving parts at the state level. So a lot of uncertainty from Columbus, basically. That's a fair summary. So when you put all these projections together, rising costs, uncertain revenue, what's the bottom line impact on their cash reserves over the five years? Well, the trend is pretty clear in the forecast. As we said, spending outpaces revenue in later years. This leads straight to a projected decline in the cash balance. How low does it get? By fiscal year 2029, they're projecting they'll spend over $6.2 million more than they bring in. That's a
068gap of about 13.5% of the revenue that year. Wow. And the projected cash balance at the end of FY29 is down to about $741,000. That's only 1.6% of their budget for that year. Very tight. And this leads to a pretty direct conclusion in their presentation, doesn't it? Slide 19. It does. Based purely on these projections, district states still need to consider putting a levy before the voters for consideration in fiscal year 2028. So needing more local funding based on this outlook. That's the projection, yeah. It's a direct consequence of that ongoing deficit spending and the dwindling cash reserve shown in the forecast. And it's really important to stress, again, like the presentation does on the last slide, this is still just an estimate. Exactly. A point in time estimate. There's so many factors outside the
069district's control. Interest rates, inflation, tariffs, supply chain stuff. All of that can be hit the general fund hard. Which is why they update it regularly. Right. They do this forecast every six months to try and capture the latest information and adjust as needed. So to wrap it up, this May 2025 forecast for Shardon Local Schools shows expenses likely growing faster than revenues in the coming years. This points towards a significant drop in their cash reserves. And based on this math, the likely need to ask voters for a levy in fiscal year 2028. But crucial caveat, these are projections. Many external factors, especially potential state legislative changes, could shift this outlook considerably. And that really brings up a final thought for you, the listener, to consider. Knowing these potential financial hurdles, what kind of proactive steps
070can or should the school district be taking now to try and buffer against these challenges and work towards long-term financial help for its students and the community? That's the end of the movie. Also, in this same section, I just wanted to point out the assumptions. We always talk about the assumptions. That's a much more comprehensive detailed report. It kind of gets into all the details of the revenue and the expenditures. It does a line-to-line comparisons of the differences. But also, for those who don't like to read, like myself, I did drop those into AI. And there's a summary assumptions, which is only two pages long. And it just kind of gives you the clip notes of that report. So are there any questions? I just have to say, watching that, I mean, that wasn't the
071first time I've seen it. Watching that, I just keep picturing these two computers sitting there talking to each other, which I know that wasn't the case. And it probably only took, what, a matter of minutes or seconds? Yeah. It actually, sometimes I drop it in and I do them over a couple times because I don't like what they say. And you have to add it into the presentation. But this one actually, I dropped it in the first time through it, which is not exactly like that. I have to commend you for diving into AI and getting it to showcase what it can do here. I hope you like the format. That'll be my section. If you like that, I'm just sitting back. I think it's good. Are we going to be avatars in the future
072or what? I mean, I still think sometimes it doesn't put enough emphasis on, oh, we didn't get that much from property levies. Oh, Columbus is, very much could affect us. You know, sometimes it doesn't emphasize the stuff that in my brain we're worrying about the most right now. Or I'm worrying about the most. I don't know about you, Deb. I definitely confirm. Any other questions or comments concerning the fire forecast? This is Mrs. Clark. Yes. Mr. Redette. Yes. Mrs. Blackinship. Yes. And Mr. Alderney. Yes. That concludes my section. Thank you. Thank you, Deb. That brings us to the board reports. First up is the Sharnstools Foundation. I'm sorry. I never put the slide thing in, but grant requests were due May 9th. So Dave emailed out and said that he's gathering a couple up. There's
073one that was for furniture again. It was a middle school teacher to make the classroom more comfortable kind of alternative seating. I can talk today that they're talking about emails. And then we'll come probably next week to discuss the rest of them. So I would expect final decisions in June. And Mike probably has seen some of the requests that we have not seen because they run them by the district first. Thank you, Andrea. Hi. Legislative. Do you want to start with Auburn first? It's up to you. I will do legislative. So it's definitely the legislation that's going on right now is definitely bombastic for sure. It does appear as though the Senate's trying to outrun the House in terms of who can maybe possibly hit the bottom first. And I'm going to say that quite
074frankly. Auburn, I want to bring something up. So there is a constitutional amendment to being proposed to eliminate property tax, which if you hear it like that, probably will pass like a landslide, more than likely. Nobody is saying what property taxes cover and what would need to be eliminated altogether or brought in to supplement these things. So I want to use a real world example of how we, the people, can definitely cause problems if we go by emotions. So recently, the constitutional amendment passed to allow marijuana use. And where I work, we've seen a 450% increase in people being fired because they don't understand what the implications of where you can use and how you can use. And so random drug testing are picking people up and they're definitely losing their jobs. That trickle-down effect
075would be like this. Dad comes home all of a sudden, he doesn't have a job that's a hundred plus thousand dollar job because he didn't understand the implications of that law. So if that amendment passes without an exhaustive study, and probably the state should actually fund that so people understand that, really that alone would probably be substantially injurious to every public school across the board. If that doesn't do anything, House Bill 15 which passed, which is a 110-page showstopper read, which seems to be aimed at updating the inputs for electrical supply companies so that they are priced more fairly, probably will take money from public education. It's good to see though that House Bill 96 is, I feel like they're actually kind of hearing people on that. Maybe I'm wrong. But like Senator Blessing is
076pushing against the 30% cap, which is awesome. I think he's instrumental. I think people listen to him. Hopefully that turns out to be something like what he proposes, which case by case basis and definitely not 30% to begin with, which would be great. And if that is passed as it is, you still have the provisions of Senate Bill 93, which would eliminate your ability to have levies locally anyway. So again, you see kind of like all these opposing things going on. This is a tie-in to Auburn. The new superintendent, Joe Glavin of Auburn, he made a presentation as did Dave Leone regarding House Bill 96's impact to tech education. It appears as though there will be some of that as well. It to me seems like there is a really strong need for people to
077have wise counsel because I think there's a lot of passion. A lot of people are proposing things that they think are going to be good and maybe could possibly be good. But they don't really, they need to have experts, expert testimony driving what they're aiming at. For instance, the proposal to eliminate cell phone usage but allow it in the event of an emergency in a school. I don't know how you facilitate that in any functional way. How do you take the phones away and then distribute them in an emergency without all kinds of liability issues? I have no idea how that would work. So that would be an example of a need for expert testimony and using committees. I also think that they don't really hear from the people very actively because they have their
078time for testimony at like 11 o'clock in the middle of the week. Not many people can do that. So my recommendation would be to, if you have written or called legislators, keep going. If you haven't, I would encourage you to do so because it's really necessary. And I would strongly recommend before you, because I'm sure this constitutional amendment will be on the ballot before you vote, just realize that whatever comes off of public funding by that will either be reduction in services completely, elimination, or it's going to have to be supplemented somewhere else like in sales tax. So you might save on one end, but you'll probably end up saving or being charged on the other end. And that could be substantially more. So going to Auburn though, like I said, we went through our
079superintendent search and selection. That was actually pretty fun. I've never done that. There are a lot of talented people out there. We came down to three potential candidates and Joe Glavin for mentor. Definitely is probably the most enthusiastic person, even more so than you, about education that I've ever met so far. And I believe he's going to take Auburn to a new level completely. He intends right from the rip to meet with every superintendent of all of the districts represented by Auburn, which is a new thing and wants to have a very much more dynamic relationship to reach as many students as possible with Auburn services outside of the main campus, which is what Dr. Bontempo started. And I think he can bring it to a satisfactory result if funding is available to do that.
080So that was fun. And I will agree that Auburn's food by their culinary group is excellent. If you ever have a chance to eat in their diner, I would recommend it. It's really good. Are they still open for like lunch on Fridays? Yeah, but you have to have a reservation like at least a month in advance. Okay. They're not going to be available throughout the summer. Okay. Okay, that's it. Thank you, Todd. Keep this up. June will be interesting. Oh, yeah. Well, that brings us to the student staff liaison, James. Yep. Shout out to Mason Cole and our communications department for preparing the stories and the pictures tonight. Stories like these can be found on our district website and our social media as well, Facebook and Instagram. So starting off Science Olympiad, the Chardon Science
081Olympiad Division B team, consisting of fifth through ninth grade students, achieved 10th place in the Ohio State competition on Saturday, April 26th at the Ohio State University in Columbus. Students competed in 23 events and two trial events. Chardon placed first in Meteorology and Road Scholar, second in Dynamic Planet and Fossils, third in Engineering CAD, fifth in Entomology and Ecology, sixth in Code Busters, and seventh in Towers. So congratulations to the Chardon Science Olympiad team on all of its success. And over at Auburn Career Center for Auburn, on Monday, May 5th, 60 Chardon students were recognized for their acceptance and commitment to 21 programs at Auburn Career Center. Thank you to Mrs. Barb Gordon, Mr. David Leone, and their student presenters for putting on this event. The Chardon High School chapter of the International Thespian Society
082inducted six new members on April 23rd, coinciding with Shakespeare's birthday. Graduating seniors were celebrated by earning courts for their commencement gowns. Students who earned their varsity letter for drama received them during the ceremony. The group also awarded three Mary Price Thespian Scholarships to graduating seniors, Carrie Evans, Dominic Iskra, and Sophia Plateau. The International Thespian Society is the only theater honor society for middle and high school students in the country. Affiliation brings credibility and distinction to students, theater programs, and schools. It's a visible positive symbol of the quality of a school's theater program. So congratulations to the new inductees and scholarship recipients. Hilltopper Elementary students had a fantastic time at last week's third annual Chardon Local Schools Career on Wheels Day. Through this event, students were introduced to a variety of career and work opportunities involving
083vehicles. Students heard from speakers who work in food service, law enforcement, safety, local utilities, landscaping, and more. And students learned all about these speakers, including their educational backgrounds and what a typical day in their career looks like. They also got to tour the impressive vehicles. Thank you to our community partners who made the event possible. And finally this evening, the Chardon Smile Center received the 2025 Superintendent's Award at the Chardon Education Association's Annual Recognition Dinner on April 28th in recognition of their support and commitment to our school district. Also, the Friend of Education Award was presented to longtime educator Frances Donahue in recognition of her honorable dedication to our school community through guidance and continued volunteerism. Thank you to both the Chardon Smile Center and Mrs. Donahue for your continued support of Chardon Local Schools.
084That's it for this evening. Thank you, Jay. That brings us to new business. Do we have any new business tonight? No. Hearing of the public for non-agenda items? No. Do we have none? Yes. I guess that brings us to adjournment. Our next meeting will be June 16th. June 16th, April 5th. Do we have a motion and a second? Second. Would you please come over? Yes. Mr. McGat? Yes. Mike Chipp? Yes. Clark? Yes. Thank you, everyone.
