001Okay. All right. Well, welcome to I feel like all of our board meetings get labeled special board meeting, but this one's special because we shifted our time to 4:30. Typically, this is a 5:30 meeting. Um, so we will get started with a call to order and then on to roll call. >> Okay. Mr. Oman >> here, >> Mr. Paul, >> Mrs. Lman >> here, >> Mr. Baker here, >> Mrs. Winger >> here. >> Okay. And then I need a motion to um adopt the agenda for our meeting. >> Second. >> Mrs. Winger. >> Yes. >> Mr. Mr. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Mr. >> Okay. And number five is public participation unless Oh, four. Oh, hey, how about we approve those minutes first? Sorry, I was getting excited about number five. Um, number four, let's if
002I could have a motion for the approval of the special board meeting that they had on August 19th. >> Yes, >> Mr. Kier. >> Yes, >> Mr. Paul. >> Yes, >> Mr. Yes. >> Mrs. Lindman. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Winger. >> Yes. >> Okay. Now, number five. And on to number six. >> We have no public participation. So, number six, special accommodations. Um, and I'll pass down the thank you notes here in a minute. We didn't get those down in front of you, but we'll get those out. So, um, like we say every month, I I don't know that there's been a meeting that there hasn't been something here. So, which is amazing. Um we have some great um things under this item um this month. So Shaper Driveline donated eight customuilt workstations that are
003valued over $9,000 to the engineering lab. Um David Ally who's the VP of Shaper Driveline um donated the workstations and I think the special part of that um is that they were crafted by a Frederick Town alum um Gary Baker who was class of 88. Um, and this was all into support of the new engineering lab at the high school. So, um, my understanding is, you know, Mr. Alli also serves on our project lead the way committee and has just donated, you know, time over the years to, um, programs that, you know, support some future workforce. Um, so that's great. Amazing. And we'll be, I'm sure, at some point having some sort of celebration where you get to see all those. Awesome stuff. Um, we also had a workbench, metal workt, and metal racking. Um,
004that was valued at $1,000 also donated from Schaefer Drive for our bus garage. And so when you see those folks out and about, make sure to say thank you. Um, school supplies, Clorox wipes tissues to the elementary from FT Precision valued at 200. and the American Legion auxiliary um unit number 500 um $1,600 towards school lunches. Um a thing to blink at there. Um we just really continue to appreciate the generosity of so many um the district. So I um will entertain a motion to approve the number six special accommodations. >> Second. >> Mr. Hall. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Winger. Yes. Mr. Bowman. >> Yes. >> M. Lemon. >> Yes. >> M. >> Yes. >> Okay. Number seven. And then we'll move into eight. So seven is treasures report and then Heather's consent agenda. I
005have two items on my agenda. The August financials and the insurance moratorum for the month of December. But for the month of August, um expenditures did exceed revenue. Those were in large way due to onetime expenditures. Um and medical claims. The big one um for the large expenditures was we paid 96,000 for the bus garage and then the paving what I believe it's called free highway at least that's what I call it is 264,000. Uh we had be roofing at 19. We did replace the elementary um kil in the art room and we purchased some curriculum and then our um electricity. Our electric bill did go up and when I was looking compared to last year at this time, it went up right around 3%. So, um, even though our consortium is telling us that
006we're doing great with electricity costs because electricity is going up, 17,000 for one month was kind of like a an eye bulge for me. But, um, looking back last year, it was up 3% from last year. Um the insurance moratorum I I am requesting a premium holiday or insurance moratorum for the month of December. This will save the district right around 193,000 for the month of December. Um and our insurance fund is currently at 3.5 million. Uh and then I give you some financials for the food service. Um food services being closely monitored. The fund um itself um as you can is considerably low comparing to even last year at this time. And from 2023, we had 330,000 in the in not in food service and as of this month, this time last month, um
007we're down to 154. So, it's almost cut in half. So, everything is being closely monitored. Um and we are even watching the overtime and the subs and everything. Uh is taking place and we're uh even I'm working with Kelly Stanford on even the purchasing of purchasing the right commodities but trying to get a better price at for the food that we are purchasing. So that is being closely monitored and that is all that I have. Okay, I think we'll I'll take a motion for approval and we have discussion for the treasur consent agenda. >> So, sorry. >> Um, the food service. >> Yes. >> Um, are we seeing that is that because of salaries or is that more towards It's more of the salaries because it the salaries did go up with this time with
008negotiations but also the cost of food as well. Yeah. Cost of food compared to I can give you that breakdown. I can send that to you of what we have paid previously to what we're paying now. Since really co we have seen a huge increase in the the price of our commodities that we're purchasing. >> I had looked at everything. >> Yeah. >> So just so I understand. >> Yes. >> That's that's the balance there. >> Yes. No, you're fine. >> Um almost I guess I appreciate you all reading correctly. >> My fear at this point is I do not want the general fund to have to subside the food service department. That's where my concern is getting to is that if it gets too low, the general fund is going to have to transfer
009money into the service fund to keep them out of the red. >> Yes. >> Thank you. >> Yes. And then watching it closely also for to decide if we're going to ever go for some federal what's the program. >> C. >> Yeah. So probably watching it for that too to see what threshold and if it makes sense for us to make a different >> correct with some of the changes with C. the last that I've heard the one of the the week before last week. So two weeks ago I uh was at a a workshop and they were talking C and before this last year in 2025 school districts were funded C 100%. So no matter what every still every kid gets free lunch C but you are funded at 100% for C. Now they're
010that only the kids that qualify for free a reduced lunch, that's the money that you're getting. You're not getting funded for every student. So the kid the schools that were getting all of this money are no longer going to be getting all that money. They're only going to get the funds for the kids that actually qualify. So they got all these schools enrolled. >> And that program's only been around I mean as long as I've been on board. So that's not very long, less than two years. >> Correct. So, and also just thinking also you have kids, [Music] >> correct? >> Right. So, there's also >> and I know there are some things that we could do differently in the food service area. Um and I have been talking with Teresa regarding that as well
011about even menu changes doing just updating the food service area in itself. So >> So according >> the cash the cash position report it looks like we're projecting that it's already going to be negative by the end of the year. >> Yeah. And that's my fear. >> I have a silly question, but it's just so I don't forget to ask. >> Yeah. >> Um service finding shares for a different organization. We got a check for an energy co-op roundup. >> So it sounds like people are able to on their energy bill round up and then that they can select an organization. >> Oh. Is that anything that like you've ever seen come into the district? I just was curious if I never have. >> This was a church that received the money, but it was
012I think it was like 1,600 bucks, which is a fair amount for >> Yeah. I I have never seen that. >> Okay. >> All right. >> I just had a question on >> premium holiday. >> Yes. >> So, you said that our self insurance fund is currently at 3.5 million. Is that the recommended? Is that where we're supposed to be? According to that study that we have done every year, >> we have actually a surplus in our >> That's over. Yes. >> It's over the threshold. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Good. >> That's the reason we're able to do the premium holiday. >> Okay. >> Yeah. We're actually eligible for two, but I'm taking one >> because we don't have those increases yet. >> Correct. >> Okay. Anybody else? I think we're ready for Okay, >>
013Mr. Napier. >> Yes. >> M. >> Yes. >> Mr. Bowman. Yes. >> Mrs. Lindamman. Yes. >> Mrs. Winger. >> Yes. >> Thank you. >> Okay. So, we are to 9 and 10 superintendent report and then into Mr. Chapman's consent. >> Yes. Thank you. Good evening everyone. Good afternoon. Say that. But welcome. As far as a superintendent report, I have put a couple documents in front of you. Also, the the most recent building newsletter, family newsletters from our principles, but also if I could call your attention to just briefly is the uh preliminary overall rating. ratings from state report card would be this um talk about right there I provided the district the high school middle school and the elementary review uh this does not go public until Monday September 15th so that's we'll hold on
014to this but I just wanted to share that with you it's hot off the presses the value added scores were uh uploaded yesterday secure data center and that that kicked in the overall view there. The other one too that I put in front of you again would be the tenative 2526 enrollment sheet. Uh we've gone a little bit deeper there as far as the breakdown by classes for grade level and the numbers. But uh from I know when we talked in August we had a negative6 from last year to this year. Um right now we're a negative 16 students are down 16 students from last year last May. as far as digging into that and and where they are going and that's work yet that we have to do on those but uh that is
015actually based upon the senior number of seniors having graduated last year of about 103 I believe with kindergarten class coming in 76. So actually maybe a net increase based on those two data points if you will. Okay. Um, so we just need to to dig into this and um get more information as far as we start for each individual student there. Any questions on that one? Continue to go after it closed and then settling it in here into the next month. As far as the the other item I wanted to update you on too, and we talk about this a lot here, but the bus garage just We did receive the an easement um draft of an easement with a uh LA late last week. What I I was hoping to present that to you
016for consideration to get that moving. Uh I sent it off to legal um and to get their our legal attorneys to get their view of it. They kicked back some suggestions. It's now back to A for their review. Um, I could have forced it in this evening, but I thought we do our due diligence and just make sure that we're covered there. So, if we can get that moving, we'll bring that back to you next board meeting, get that approved, but that's what we need to get the substantial completion. Um, also with partial completion of a partial occupancy, we did have to have a fire inspection. We had that completed a week ago, Friday. Um, that is fire inspection. A few other documents are at the state level from the state inspector. I have not
017heard back from Fanny How yet as to that piece that is on the desk of the state inspector. I sure would like to hear by this week. Regardless, um Darien and you saw there the the donation there of the table workbench from Schaefer, but Darian has been working hard. We're moving in doing some painting as well, part of that construction process. So hopefully when we get all that together and then also too waiting for the the pavement as well. Um we have not heard as far as a start date for paving but we're hoping now within the next 30 days we can get all this wrapped up. Again I I know hope is not a big plan but that's my hope right now. So that's what we're working towards there. Any questions at all? That's
018what I have for you this evening. >> That last 10% construction is always >> feels like the first 90 it's been a little bit intense. So that's been okay as far as superintendent consent agenda. Go through that here. Item A, if you look there would be a motion to approve the eighth grade Washington DC trip for May four, five, and six. So, I know um Mr. Brown's anxious to get that one going to get that out there. So, item B would be to approve the amended staffing agreement with the Mid Ohio Educational Service Center. That'd be for registered behavior therapists and behavior certified therapists as well. This item C would be a agreement with Mount Vernon City School Districts for services provided by the 7th Day Adventist School for Title One services. This agreement is
019with Fredericktown and Mount Vernon City as they are the fiscal agent for 7th Day Adventist. We have an inter agency agreement. Uh this would be between NoxC and um services for childrens with disability for birth age through five attending early childhood programs. This is also with the county schools as well. All client county schools sign off on that one. We have a motion to approve the resolution to um purchase or participate, I'm sorry, to participate and authorize Meta Solutions to advertise and receive bids on the board's half for bus purchases. This does not obligate the district to purchase the buses. It just allows us to participate in that if we so desire. Item F is to pay uh Montana Hoover for professional development. Also item G, you see we have several personnel recommendations for the
02025 26 school year from contract adjustments and to employ subs or substitute teachers. Item H is to approve classroom field trip volunteers for this school year pending favorable background checks. And then also item 11 is to be voted on separately and that would also be for um to approve the volunteer and Douglas pending favorable background checks. Okay, I think we will take >> that agreement with the schools in the >> We have three students that attend 7th Day Adventist schools. M Vernon is SA's fiscal agent and because we they are our students and we have to provide OTP and speech we title one funds are then transferred to Mount Vernon but it's through an invoice and that needs an agreement for OB so >> yes okay follow here or there just movement of the shell
021game here Any other questions, comments? >> Okay. >> Mrs. Winger, >> yes. >> Mr. F. >> Yes. >> Mr. Belman. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Lindamman. >> Yes. >> Mr. Napier. >> Yes. >> Okay. And then if I can have a motion um on item or number 11 A. Move. >> Second. >> Paul. >> All right. Mr. Napier. >> Yes. >> Mr. Bman. >> Yes. >> Mr. Co. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Lindamman. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Winger. >> How all the male voices at one end and female at the end. It's like >> Yeah. >> Okay. Um rolling into number 12. Um committee reports. I'll kick this off. Um, I was actually scheduled to be down at the career center for their four o'clock meeting and had a meeting right over and missed that. So, um,
022my apologies there, but I was did not attend that meeting. They do have a meeting this Thursday that I will be at. And then FCDF kind of the same. That meeting was cancelled in August and there's a meeting this coming Thursday. So, I'll be doing all my committee work there in one day, this Thursday. So, those are both my non reports. >> Short and sweet. Yeah. On to you, Mr. Bman. >> Okay. Mine is uh pretty short and sweet as well. Um couple things. October 1st, career quest. Kind of covered that for eighth graders and 10th graders. Um but I do want to um compliment Mr. Shoemaker. He knocked it out of the park um at the last workday meeting with his presentation. answering questions, covering everything about the manufacturing program. So, um, pro like
023unfortunately for him, that was probably the most people we've ever had in that room. Um, so not only did he walk into a room he thought was going to have 2025, we probably had like 30 or 35 in there. So, but it was it was good. Um, he covered everything. It was wellreceived. A lot of people complimented him. So, um, that was great to see. He did a great job. The next meeting is end of the month. >> I was going to try to go without my glasses. >> Okay. Next step. Well, policy. I think you guys that's that's September, right? Or you have not met yet. >> Yeah. Thank you for a great weekend. My birthday this weekend all the above bill. >> I'm sure you guys are anxiously know it is good. That's
024that's a large function of of the board's policy. So Shelley Manger on her legislation, >> right? Um well, the legislators have been in recess uh but are scheduled to return I think next week. Um both chambers already have like several sessions scheduled between now and end of the year. Um one of the items that's up for consideration uh in the Senate is the um the veto of House Bill 96, line item 66. So, but remember that that's the line item that the House has already overridden. Um, so now the Senate will have to do the same. Um, they've indicated that they have the votes to do that. So, I think they're expecting that that's gonna happen. Um, but we'll see. So, in addition to that, um I mean it's possible that we'll see them also
025bring up for consideration any of the other items that were vetoed. Several of which of course impact uh school funding. Um there was three well probably more than three but three that I'm going to report on bills that have been recently introduced. Um, so there are actually a trio together called the taxpayers freedom trilogy. Um, it's House Bill 420, which would eliminate continuing levies by year 2030, House Bill 421, which would allow voters to reduce unvoted property taxes by a referendum vote. So that would affect any school districts that are on the 20th floor. um House Bill 422 which would increase the approval threshold. Uh so the voter approval threshold required for the passage of certain property taxes dependent on the number of mills proposed. There's as the mill that's proposed goes up the number
026of votes required to pass it goes up. So um again these were all like literally just interviews. So they haven't been referred to committee yet. There's no or hearings or anything. Um I just wanted to note them because I think it just illustrates the fact that we're going to continue to see this property tax reform initiative um continue. So with that said, uh the property tax reform working group has been meeting weekly, that's the group that was formed by Governor DeWine after um the passage of House Bill 96. Um so they recently heard testimony from the school funding work group. That was an invited testimony. Uh they've been exploring both shortterm relief and long-term solutions. Um discussions uh have included some of the bills that are already out there right now that um deal with
027property tax reform. Uh one of the bills that's received a lot of discussion is House Bill 186. Uh that bill proposes to authorize a property tax credit for the owners of property located in a school district on the 20th floor. Um the goal of that is to limit district's total property tax revenue growth uh from the floor to the rate of inflation. Um they're still expected, I believe, to report their recommendations by the end of September. Um so I'm sure there's more to come on that. So I think um you know we'll continue to see property tax reform be the primary focus as we head into all of these fall sessions. Um a lot of the discussion seems to kind of I guess center around this 2004 um what you know proposals to change what
028types of levies are included in that. There's proposals now, you know, to um just eliminate or reduce the unvoted tax increases due to inflation. Um so I think we're just going to continue to see on that. It's hard to anticipate what that's going to look like, but I think we'll probably see something. Anyway, that is it for me. Okay, good summary of what's going on. But yeah, we did interesting. Okay, finance is myself in the circle. We met a couple months. I guess it was technically August >> that we met and nothing really to report out. will be the meeting was approved the last meeting to be shifted to a Monday to give Heather an extra 24 hours to click submit. >> Yep. >> On the fiveyear forecast. So she could she'll be presenting that
029to us at the next meeting. >> Yes. >> So anyways that's really do you have anything else to add to that? That's really we didn't really have all right moving into board members. Anybody have anything they want to share? >> Sure. >> Oh yeah. >> Yeah. >> So the district leadership team right now's meeting um they met last Thursday. Um there were several new members of the group. Uh so we spent some time just kind of refreshing and just realigning as a group. Um that Mark with uh the um mid Ohio ESC uh went through or I guess revisited or reviewed with us what the um role of the DT was, which was nice um especially for those of us that hadn't really heard that before. Um, so I don't really have anything super specific
030to report on. All the buildings kind of reported out on I think just kind of where they're starting for the year and where they're heading. So, um, anyways, but good meeting. Um, >> how often does a DT meet? >> Uh, supposed to meet every month. Um, monthly. >> So, yeah. Okay. typically that that happens. >> Awesome. >> Um I would just add I noticed on social media that um for the Cardington game they are having um veterans, current military and first responders get in free to the game on Friday night. So I thought that was pretty cool and just wanted to share that out. I think that's neat. Um, good to see communities doing things like that and just happens to be the night that we're gonna win on their football field, but it's fine.
031It's okay, right? No pressure. Sorry for for that pressure. And then just again a shout out to the um every all the representation at the school's FEA was set up at the tomato show on Friday for the two-hour release. Um, lots of kids on floats. It's like in, you know, so many of our kids could be on multiple. It's like they probably have to flip a coin and what float am I on? because I'm in, you know, involved in multiple things. Um, it was great to see our transportation department. Um, the bus like looked, I mean, like like really just looked beautiful. I'm sure that, you know, there was some time spent shining in the rims and all the things, but um had some really smiling bus driver faces hanging out the windows. um you
032know throwing candy at kids which I think is just kind of fun because anyways um just really appreciate the work that they do and it was kind of cool for just to see all of that. So I think that it was a huge success and I love our presence as a school district with the tomato show. So Mr. Chapman, Mr. Kaputo also. It's kind of ironic that we get to throw things back at the kids now. Maybe I don't know. FBA was passing out books, bus drivers were throwing candy and Mr. Kudo and Mr. Chapman were throwing waters at like the football team on the floats and stuff. So, just take that for what it's sort of on trees. So, you guys are being kind passing out. They were throwing things at students, but no.
033Um, lot lots of fun around that. So, um, pretty cool. It was nice to have Danville's band in our in our parade and then they stayed and enjoyed the tomato show. So, I thought that was a really good gesture on on Danville's part. So, kudos kudos to them. Um, okay. Moving into sorry, administration reports over here to the left, my left. >> Um, before I start, I would like to acknowledge and express gratitude for my teachers and staff who put our students first and support one another. They spend the whole beginning of the school year teaching routines and expectations and taking time to set that tone for the school year and they will retach those routines and expectations often every time there's a long weekend, every time we have a school holiday. But those routines
034and expectations help everything run smoothly and our teachers are always putting our students first at that. Um, and one of those new routines and expectations that we've been working on is our new arrival and dismissal. Um, and our safety team um met some members of our safety team met with a group of parents last week to hear their suggestions and feedback on the new arrival and dismissal procedures. And then our members that were present at that meeting will share that input with our entire safety committee because we are in that revision and review process where we're wanting to make improvements to the procedures to make everything safer and smoother for everyone. So then after we've done that as a team, we'll invite that parent group back to get feedback from them as well. And just
035to acknowledge that a lot of parents and grandparents have also been expressing appreciation or thankful for the changes because the parking lot has been scary to them in previous years. Um and then our second and third graders are attending yes performance concerts and programs um this month at the Whoever rock, paper, scissors, shoot. >> All right. Middle school. Um, really not a whole lot outside of what in the newsletter and stuff from last week. Uh, teachers are now we're like in the flow of the full academics and kind of back in the groove of, you know, here we go. Um, doing a good job with that. kids have been been doing a good job. Um I think the sixth graders have adjusted for the most part to being in the middle school now. That can
036be a tough transition for uh for some of them coming from the elementary. So they've done a good job with that. Like the elementary, we have a couple Yes. concerts coming up for sixth and seventh grade uh next week uh I believe. Uh then like Mr. Bowman said, eighth graders will be heading uh down to Energy Field House there October 1st. They really enjoyed that trip two years ago when we went there. So the staff said it was done very well and when I was there it was a lot of good things for the kids to experience. So looking forward to getting them down there. Uh this week uh has been the counselor social workers uh work together for suicide awareness week. So they've been uh different uh themed regress different days uh of the
037week for the kids for that. And then at lunches they've been out there. I know like yesterday they had bracelets, right? Today they had some different stickers. Uh so just kind of getting that message out there. Then to go with that, Thursday night uh would be the volleyball game for awareness there. Um base sale. I know they're selling some t-shirts. Uh should have some baskets and stuff there. uh help raise some money that'll stay in Knox County for that cause. >> I saw three of your middle school teachers get in. Well, one got in the bathtub, the other two pushed. >> So, there may or may not have been pressure on the one telling everybody that he was a marathoner. I'm not going to say that was and who did the calling out. Yeah. >>
038But it was pretty fun to I think there was five or six total, but there was a team. I thought, >> yeah, >> okay, there you go. probably after a week with middle schoolers and you need to be in a cool bath. I don't know. >> Yes. Yes. Yes. That was fun though. >> All right. High school. Um yeah, the honeymoon period is coming to an end. Cell violations are a little bit of an uptick. Uh we had some of those in. Um but uh yeah, things are going well. Um, other than what's in the newsletter and, uh, what was already shared, um, we're going to take some kids to a leadership conference in early October put on by Jos's, uh, the Renaissance program. Um, I've attended that before as a teacher. We took kids.
039I think it's going to be good. Uh, so we're going to try to get a group of 20 kids, um, 8th grade juniors, um, and, uh, take those there. Uh, tomorrow I'm going to be going to West Jefferson in the morning. Um I was invited Focus 3 is putting on a RF factor leadership workshop um and that one that we might if we like it and think it would be applicable to us that we can bring that here with our kids um to do some type of leadership workshop as well. Uh so looking at that um open canvas passed out forms this week. Uh I'll be looking over those towards the end of the week and uh getting those approved. So that'll that will start. kids have went around to the ready focus period and
040explained the qual the criteria and they they have been awaiting this. Um so they are they're anxious to uh get that going. >> Um and I think that's about it. I like to nominate or make motion to nominate Mr. Chap. I know I did >> bathtub race. >> Don't know what you're talking about. >> There were a few there were a few teacher I think teams in that this year. >> High school didn't middle school had one elementary school figure out what we do in the high school next year. >> So you participated this year. Are you >> okay? >> I love this. This is fun. This is all on record too right here on our website. He did run the 5K, right? >> Did you run 5K? >> And finished the 5K. >> I
041love that, >> Mr. Mr. Kudo. >> Sure. Sure. Uh, well, as we get starting to gear into September here, finishing up our 16 days with the kids and trying to get a handle on things, I do I did share with you all uh more information uh culmination of bits of information uh specific really to some of what we're focusing on now is that kindergarten grade we do have an extraordinary amount of needs in that classroom in that whole grade level um I do have as I some of these not there's some some nice positives out of there but there's also some a lot of uh work that's being done behind the scenes A couple people I would like to call out on that notice. One is Emily Sheriff. Not only every year do I ask
042her to make sure she puts um emergency action plans in place for kids across the district and then train new teams for those. We do have one student kindergarten had a medical issue that needed similar type train. in here. Um, I do have confidential notice on this as well. So, I kind of just want to make sure I'm providing the rights and not violate the parents rights as far as any other privacy rights. And also, I just want to make sure I point out that we're looking very closely to make sure we're providing free and appropriate public education through students IEPs as we're working through these situations where we're providing for our kids. Um, I do also want to call out Gina Sman. Um, she has been really good. She and I have been walking
043um together as far as we communicate with parents. We can't develop relationships fast enough with parents. Um, they've given us their best and we're calling them to say there's some things we need to work through. Okay. So, those conversations have been difficult conversations but very fruitful to date. Okay. Um, we have had some actually some very good meetings. I want to thank you for kind of sitting in on those meetings and those phone calls and those conversations so that we can strategize and work with helping our students and our staff support kids. Um, I will say that um I'm a firm believer of making sure those relationships are developed and forged with all of our folks, in particular our parents. Um, over the years working in this specific part of education. I have found that
044back in the day we used to talk about 4 in compliance book was because of poor relationships. Um if we have those relationships built, you know, parents are a lot more forgiving and being able to work with us if that's the case. To date, I've been very specific with teachers and other administrators and myself as far as how we might approach situations. Again, this is the first time we're calling parents and said, "Hey, there's something wrong here. We need to make sure we get together." Um, third thing I just wanted to point out and share is we're at a point now where we are looking at resources not only in the district, but we're looking at resources outside of the district to help support the needs of our kids. Um, we know and we've sat
045around this table and we've had lots of resources that we've talked about that we currently employ and have or contract with, okay? Such as our and our PT and our speech and those types of things. We don't have a BCBA and an RBT, but you've heard about that before. Okay. I may be needing to look into some more of those resources to support our kids. I'm also needing to look into more resources to make sure we're providing uh for uh specifically some of the behavioral needs, but also in order to pro provide faith. Uh as we're looking at our kids in special education, we do have to provide a free and appropriate public education and I have to explore options as to where that might. So, I will be doing that in order to make
046sure we're taking care of our kids and making sure we have their needs met. U it will take some time. I am really happy with the progress we've made so far. And again, I want to say one more time for Gina. She and I have just been a lot of conversations together, a lot of talking together, a lot of working with teachers and staff, and it's always isn't every day something a new challenge brought to us. So, I want to publicly for that. Um I encourage you all to read over this. Um it is not inclusive. Um but it does give you the capture of the highlights. Thank you. Only glass is here. We're going to move over to the other side of the room. Mrs. Snider. >> Um well, uh we enjoy particip I

Was a little concerned that we may not pass out our usual amount being that we were there for a shorter number of days but we still managed to pass out probably 300 books um was like three empty boxes so um I think we can fit about you know 7500 books a box we were very excited uh had a lot of volunteers for the night teachers were excited to be part of the the two hour Um coming up our very Heather is going to be giving a little short info session. Some of our members express interested just kind of
048like the highlights of our insurance. We have a lot of new hires or people that aren't extremely familiar with what our insurance covers. So Heather's going to come down and give a short blur and just be there to answer questions. Um do two sessions. accomodating time slots. So very of that and then we have an OA presenter coming September 24th um to present on challenging behaviors opportunities. Okay. >> No, it's okay.
