002Uh, if we could start with the pledge of >> allegiance. Uh thank you everyone and with that if we could start with Mr. Kckki with the recognition correspondence and announcements. Good evening everyone. Thank you. Uh couple of great uh celebrations tonight. Uh first of all, congratulations to our mock trial team at IHS for winning the 2022 Buckeye Bash Championship tournament was hosted by Ohio State University uh the weekend of January 8th and 9th. Our IHS uh students earned individual awards. Uh Tacy Hutton was one of two outstanding attorney award winners. Paige Falter and Nita Overton also won outstanding witness awards. And students Harrison Potty and Elsa Zhao were also a part of the championship team. Our mock trial continues to uh compete at such a high level. And so congratulations to all those students and
003they'll be moving on to a state championship here pretty soon. Next up, uh, Indian Hill School District wants to congratulate our IHES fifth grade class out of 123 teams, our fifth grade Braves, placed in the rankings numbers 1 through 11 in the stock market game this year. That's the first 11 teams sponsored by a nonprofit, All Spa Family Economics Center. We participate in this every year. Uh, it's awesome to see that we have our teams always compete so well against students, including college students. Uh, and one of our teams placed in first place overall. Uh, the elementary school first place team earned more than $21,000 in 10 weeks playing the stock market and learning about investing. Uh, the team that won included Jenny Willingham, Devonshi, Ratula, and Khloe Luther. The team will compete next in
004the portfolio challenge this spring at the University of Cincinnati. So, congratulations. This is a program board members that has expanded from one class of Braves to the entire fifth grade now. It's a wonderful experiential learning opportunity for all of our students. Uh the study of STEM is part of our curriculum DNA here at Indian Hill Primary School. Um our educators are earning some headlines. IHPS was the only primary school in the region and one of three in in C Hamilton County total uh to receive an Ohio STEM Learning Network grant of $5,000 funded by Patel. The IHPS school faculty members who were awarded the grant included Monica Dawkins and Elizabeth Reebush who helped write the grant that will provide 3D printers and training for our students at IHPS. It's awesome to see that they took
005the time to put into writing that grant. Congratulations. We also would like to recognize and thank members and volunteers who I think are here tonight uh who helped with our annual global week at Indian Hill Schools which is a series of amazing cultural learning events that we put on annually. Uh our global parent network members um they are strong partners to the Indian Hill schools and we appreciate all the volunteer support that we we receive from this team. I invited the global parent network members to come tonight. I think there are some here. Um, if there are any officers or leaders from the global network who would like to come down to the podium and say a few words, we would love to have you come down. And, uh, while we're doing that, let's just
006give the entire global parent network a round of applause. So much goes into planning an entire week of activities at every building um, and impacting and influencing all of our students. And, uh, it's really exciting. Hi, Vernon. Hi. >> All right. >> Thank you for joining us. >> Okay. First, I would like to thank all of our board members to give us this opportunity to be here and to recognize the very hard work our parents put in pretty much every day. We meet monthly, but we think about it and talk about it almost daily through emails, texts, whatever. So I am not going to take up too much time but I can talk about our amazing parents for hours. All of our parents are doing it just to teach our students all of our students
007to accept different cultures that are different from ours. And we understand that once our students learn how to accept the different cultures that are different from us, that will change a lot in the future. And bringing diversity, that's our goal. And we want to replace the word weird with the word different. That's our goal. So, um, I have just a few parents here tonight. Unfortunately, not all of our members could be here. But I know that they will be watching this later if they're not watching it right now. So, I just want to thank all of our parents that are doing amazing. I know life is busy. They are very busy, but they make time to volunteer to help our students, all of our students, and that means a lot. So, I am so thankful
008and grateful to have an amazing parent group of parents. So thank you all so much. We couldn't have done it without them. Period. So I'm so thankful and thank you again for giving us giving us an opportunity. >> Thank you. >> Can I add something to that? >> Sure. So since today we have some of the global parent network parents here and some of them who are not here and who are going to watch, I just want to say uh a few things and I want to share a few things about the group uh with other members. So first I want to say is thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for all that you have been doing for our district. It is not easy. You guys have been doing it for a long
009time and we really really appreciate you guys. Thank you to all who are here today and to all the others who had been helping bringing the world to our students in Indian Hill every year. Thank you for sharing and educating our braves about the culture during Indian Hill Global Cultural Celebration and throughout the year in the classroom when we needed you. the fair that alternate between the primary, elementary and middle school. It may look very similar in the pictures but it takes lot of effort to update that information every year and the that information is updated based on what a teachers are teaching in the classroom. So the amount of time you guys put in every year to update those charts and to update your tables based on the age group, it's immense and we
010really appreciate that. Thank you to all our current parents and our alumni parents whose kids have already graduated but they are still here helping organize the global fair and high school food tasting which is something new that started 3 years back and which kids have absolutely loved it. So, high school uh sorry, high school food tasting for all our high school braves by cooking their authentic recipes so our braves can experience how food differ from country to country. It is not easy to cook 800 dumplings or 700 cup of mango lassi or 100 enchiladas or cook fresh kebabs on site. But you all do it with such an ease on your face which is just amazing to see. So once again I just want to say thank you to all our parents, our teachers, our
011administrators and our community members who help our students to be more globally ready by providing such unique experiences. We all truly appreciate your time, energy and effort and in my opinion this is Indian Hill Promise. So thank you again guys for coming talking to us and sharing your experiences with all our students. It really means a lot. Thank you. I'd just like to uh also add and reinforce we'd like to thank uh Monica Gibson, one of our educators who spends a lot of time with not only the global parent network, but we ser thank you. We serve families from over 40 countries. And Monica is a chief point of contact for those families to help them to understand what it means to be a brave, to navigate the school system, to understand supports in the
012community, and is constantly working to provide resources to those families. So, we really appreciate Monica and we really appreciate all of our global parents and thank you so much for putting on not just a great week, but all the things you do monthly for the school district. Um, next up, we're going to switch gears for a minute for a short operations update from Mr. Nichols. It will be brief, Mr. Ki. Thank you. Um, if you've been outside, you may have noticed that uh you're starting to see some action on the site again for the middle school and uh they've been removing the concrete pad. They've been doing a great job. We're trying to be great neighbors and not making a mess of the village uh when we come in and out. So, they've been very
013careful to take care of that. We don't appreciate the snow and ice though. It's not helping. But, uh they're still moving forward. So, you should see that out of there in the next couple of weeks. And, uh they'll be back filling. We had some basements, things like that. So, the uh back filling with dirt and then um we'll start to move towards grading the site and getting ready for the spring where you'll start to see the building um come up out of the ground. So, we're we're excited about that. We um just as some thank yous, we did have quite a winter storm here. Um and in fact, even a week ago before that, we had a a storm that I think the meteorologist said it overperformed. And so it overperformed at about 3:30 in
014the afternoon when we were taking kids home. But let me start with our maintenance team. Um if if you don't know, Ken Stegman, um Anthony Tyler, Dave Tudtor, and Mike Slade, our maintenance guys. Those guys put in 12-h hour um shifts over the weekend to get our grounds ready to go for some events that happened over the weekend as well as Monday. And uh if any of you tried to shovel your own driveways and you didn't do a little work along the way, you know, it would have been pretty difficult. So, they did a great job and our uh custodial team also followed up making sure sidewalks were cleared and we salted those. So, we really appreciate all the efforts that uh went on over the weekend to do that. And then again last Friday
015when that storm overperformed, our transportation department just did a great job. They had all our kids home really on time. Um, and it was tough out there. We know that as they were driving around and I was monitoring the bus radio at the end just waiting to make sure everybody got in and one of our bus drivers asked transportation to call a family because they had an instrument on their bus and the child wasn't on there and they said they drop it off in five minutes because they wanted them to have that instrument for the weekend. And just to me, that's a great example of the dedication of our transportation department and the great job they do taking care of our kids every day to and from school. So, just wanted to sp uh say
016thank you to them and and our whole real really maintenance facilities uh group out there. So, they did a great job and that's all we got. Thank you. >> Thank you, Jim. And I would just add, you know, our director of transportation, Diane Spurlock, is one of the um probably three or four people who are up at 4:00 a.m. on those mornings uh driving our routes to ensure that our roads are safe for our bus drivers and does an amazing job of giving us great feedback and helping to make some important decisions with the weather uh and take care of her staff and our buses over time. Diane does a great job and of course every winter um in January, I'm sure she loves her job even more um but she does a great job.
017So, we really truly appreciate that. Okay, we're going to talk just briefly tonight about um the IH Promise strategic plan. Um Eric, if you could help me please just to transition to this slide. We will be rolling out the actual documents of our strategic plan beginning this month, next week with faculty and staff. And then publicly, you will start to see the state of the schools message coming in the mail to parents. I don't know if Mr. is there. >> You can see. >> Okay. Um, one of the initiatives that we are working on as a district of course has to do with our targeted and streamline communications and then also making sure that we are uh listening and and engaging with the public in new and different ways. Last month we talked about some
018new committee meetings. So, I just wanted to share this information briefly this evening. We will be launching our new committee meetings next month. Uh this will be posted on the website. There will be some email invites and for anybody who's interested in either the diversity, equity, inclusion committee or the district STEM advisory committee or the safety, health and wellness committee, those will be launching here in early March. The diversity, equity, inclusion is the first meeting on March 2nd and then we have a couple lined up for later in the month. So wanted to make sure everybody was aware. Um and we are excited to launch those new engagement phases with the community next month. switch uh gears now again and that's all for the recognition part. >> Uh thank you everybody and if I could
019before we move on to the public commentary just add my thanks to the global parents network. Um my second grader enjoyed all the activity and uh it's we talk about the new strategic plan we rolling out we're rolling out um with child as the whole person. This is really what we talk about and it's it's just tremendous. to thank you for everything that was done. Um, and congratulations to the mock trial. As a former mock trial person, I don't think there's anybody here. Uh, that's always near and dear to my heart seeing them win every time they get on the stage. Uh, so with that, we will move to public commentary. Mr. Davis, >> uh, we have nobody signed up for this evening >> really. Okay, that's that. Uh, superintendent report, Mr. Kcki. Thank you.
020Uh board members, uh first up under uh number seven tonight, we have letter A, approval of our resolution which authorizes our annual membership in the Ohio High School Athletic Association. We renew that membership commitment every year at this time. Um item B is the approval of several overnight field trips. There are actually two I believe on the addendum, one on the addendum, sorry, and one on the regular agenda. Those are for um future field trips. Letter C is our general personnel actions and tuition reimbursements. We have some approval of certified staff contracts, the approval of some non-certified staff contracts. Um item three I will come back to is the approval of supplemental personal service contract uh for the football coach. Uh number four is a list of our supplemental and personal service contracts for spring.
021Number five is a change of contract. Uh, under number six, we do have a couple of resignations, retirements to post. And then number seven is some tuition reimbursements. Um, I'd just like to uh go back to number three for a moment. Uh, some of you may know uh that we named our new football coach ahead of the meeting uh because of the timing and we were able to introduce Coach Rodenberg, our new uh head football coach and football program member last Saturday. Um, and we had a large event here Saturday morning that was really well attended by families uh in the community and uh I think coach Rodenberg is very excited to get going. Uh, Coach Rodenberg will also be teaching physical education at the high school in the future. Um, he's coming to us
022with multiple state championships from multiple states over a uh storied career uh and is a veteran experienced coach and teacher. Uh we're very lucky to have him and I just thought I'd like to reinforce that. Um for those of you who haven't had a chance to meet Coach Rodenberg yet, he will be joining us soon. So uh if there are no questions, uh board members, I'd like you to please consider the approval of number seven, items A through C7, including the addendum items B2 and three. >> So move. >> Second, >> Mr. Summer. >> Hi. >> I >> Mrs. >> Hi. >> Mr. Marks. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Singh. >> Yes. >> Mr. Tullus. >> Yes. >> Thank you, Mr. Kcki. Uh, Mr. Davis, >> you're up. Uh for my report this evening, I have
023items A is to approve the amendments of the January 7 and January 11 meetings of the board of education to approve the financial reports for the month ending January 2022. Uh the approval of the establishment of the student activity account, the power of music. Item D is to approve uh construction contracts. We have several. Uh there are two on the regular agenda for Suzie Q Logistics hot water pumps pre- purchase 13,865 and for Scansa USA Building Incorporated a construction guaranteed ME maximum price GMP3 for the middle school early site package 4,537,3186. On item D on the ag on the addendum, validated custom solutions Ohio semic-custom air handling units pre- purchase 1,732,485. Even SuzieQ Logistics semi-custom air handling units pre-purchase procurement 86,624. Suzie Q Logistics hot water boiler pre-purchase $42,569 even. And finally, Susie Q Logistics
024for a generator pre- purchase of $217,57. Uh the reason why we decided to do so many pre- purchases is because of the situation with um equipment moving now within within every facet of our society. We wanted to make sure that we got the equipment that was needed for our project in a timely fashion. So, we're ordering it now. We're also guarding against any inflation that these might have in the future as well. Um, we've got we've uh got storage for these when they do come in. If they do come in early, we make sure everything is handled correctly and that all that equipment is safe and not able to be stolen. So, it makes sense that we do this now and get it taken care of and that way we're secure for the future. So,
025all these pro all these pieces that we just went over, these are all for the new construction. None none of them are for anything existing. Is that correct? >> That is correct. Yep. >> And then as far as your timeline in terms of getting them all in queue for the projects, is there any possibility that this could delay us in any way on any of these things? Are they critical enough that they could hold us up? Uh actually I have a person in the audience that can help me with that. Mr. Mr. Becker, would you be able to answer that question for me? >> Sure. A lot of reason purchase is to You know, typically what we do is we let we bring on mechanical companies for the work that'll happen in Aprilish timeline. Um,
026if we wait that long knowing we're the next package after the site's going to be a steel and foundations underground back into next month. you know, we want to make sure that equipment is here so when we're building the building, we can set it in place, not have major delays on things just with the surv. >> And my final question is, is there anything else that we're missing that we should be thinking about along the same lines as this stuff or you guys feel pretty good about getting out in front of these one-offs, I would call them. I think the next big one's steel like we said coming up here with the corn shell like the foundation and steel package you obviously uh the reasons we picked a lot of the structure uh we're trying
027to eliminate wastist deck we do have that stuff we're working through that with our steel packages that we'll be fitting here I think next Tuesday and then uh that's that's the only big concern obviously roofing we get into that to start figuring out where that's at. We think our timeline right now is okay with the stuff we're going to see. >> And I will say Moes Engineering is working with MSA on the design of all of these things. And Moes Engineering has been a partner of the district uh for over a decade, I believe, is the timeline they've been here. They're the ones who vetted all these items that we needed to pre-order, put together those packages, and and put those out to bid. So, I think they've they've done a very good job of
028of being inclusive of all those items that we're going to need in a timely fashion and to get here so the project stays on time. I >> think the other thing, Mr. sum with the question too. Uh just for review for anybody who's paying attention is that typically as you see these things on a board agenda for action moving forward with this type of multi-sight project, we're going to be sharing things that have been vetted by our project team and our advisory and recommending some of that timing to to cover exactly what we're trying to do now, which is make sure the equipment is here when it's time to place it or when it's time to use it and that we don't have delays in in that affect the timeline in an adverse way. Great.
029Thank you very much. >> So I have one question is so these things would be needed after you have ordered your steel and the things which you have not even placed an order. So this you would need it later right? >> I'm sorry. >> So all these equipments that we are ordering you will need it later. Before this you would need the steel and for the foundation and all those other supplies. >> Yeah. And typically by the time you go through a process of reviewing like we call it shop drawings. >> So the manufacturer comes back with like a shop drawing submit what the design equipment intent is going to be. Going through that process takes a long time um maybe 2 months and then you release it for fabrication. Right now air handlers are
030probably could be sitting anywhere like 6 months out. Um, so a lot of this equipment, um, just recently we're doing a job that we couldn't get a generator. Um, generators could be what, year, >> a year out. >> Oh, okay. >> Yeah. So, what we're trying to do is get this stuff up front. So, it's, you know, that 6 months it takes to put the foundations in, start coming up out of the ground of the structure, then we get that piece of equipment, we can set it in before the we cover up the roof. >> And, and another part to that, Mrs. saying is that as they as these drawings develop and our design develops over time, those orders they're going to do for steel are going to be very specific. Whereas we they're able
031to design those air handlers and that large equipment to fit the areas that we're going to need them in. So that's why they're able to pre-order those now as opposed to being able to go way out early on steel. We don't know exactly how much we need at this point. >> Is that fair to say, Pete? So the size would not matter right like supposedingly so your project becomes a little bigger so this would be the right size that you would need for that big of a project >> it's incorporated for dealing with the additional space >> perfect that's what I wanted to know thank you >> are there any more questions >> if not I make a motion to >> actually I got one more item >> oh you got one more >> I
032got a I appreciate the enthusiasm every most of the time the treasur's report isn't that well received so >> sorry if I could ask one question while we're on this just at a high level are these numbers this is obviously the first big uh sitework contract we've approved at least with this board is that still in line with kind of what we expected from a year ago >> so I know we're we're above where we thought we were going to be I can let uh Mr. Becker dive in a little further with the numbers. Um, we are seeing some market condition growth with that underground. Uh, there were also some existing conditions that we didn't know were there when we we we put sort of that that estimate together. Uh, Pete, if you want to
033>> storm detention. >> Hey Pete, would you like to go to the mic? Would that would that help you? Just again we want to introduce Pete Becker from Skansa Construction. This is weird for me so sorry. Um the underground uh detention at schematic design has developed quite a bit on the site work package. Um, normally what we like to do is go out and dig like a a detention pond out away from the front of the building. The middle school and the high school sites pretty limited. Um, we don't have room to put that detention area. So now we're forced to put it in pipe underground. Um, we didn't anticipate that happen at schematics. So we're sort of dealing with that now in design development. So that's one of the may I think it's like
034oh about a million dollars worth of the site work number out of that 4 million number that that sort of grew in this scope. Other than that u just there's a lot of pipe relocation. You know it's a complicated site squeezing in between two buildings and those kind of things just keep uh keep throwing in wrenches when you got to start relocating a bunch of utilities that normally you don't see. The cost of pipe has gone up pretty good since from from last year. Are there any further questions for Mr. Becker? >> Thank you, Pete. >> Thanks. >> My final item of the evening is item E to approve the following contract for the 2021 2022 school year. This is for Claremont County ESC services at CE CE CEC South, excuse me. An annualized cost
035of $37,327 will be build at a daily rate of $2171 for each day of the students enrolled. Uh, this is for one student as per their IEP. Are there any questions for my report? If not, I would ask that uh we approve items A through E. So, I would make a motion to approve items uh 8 A, B, C, D, and then I think it it's seven over here on the addendum. So, but I think it's supposed to be eight. 7 D and E. >> Oh, I'm sorry. It should be item B I8. >> Yep. >> B I make a motion approve >> A through D and then D and E. >> Second, >> Mr. Marks. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Iicults. >> Hi. >> Mrs. Singh. >> Yes. >> Mr. Summer. >> Hi. >> Mr.
036Tullus. >> Yes. >> Thank you. >> Uh, and with that, we'll move on to other business. Uh, CO operations update. >> Thank you. Uh, board members, we're just going to run through again a couple of slides. This is a little more efficient than what you've seen in the past. We're kind of evolving this as um some of the language and the orders from the state of Ohio have evolved. Just in general, again, we want to remind everybody our priority is in school learning. Uh I think it's safe to say that the omocron case surge is trending downward. Now, there are still concerns obviously in the county and the region and the state about hospitalizations and and those numbers and case numbers overall still considered uh contiguous spread. However, we're starting to see some relief uh
037in the area and especially in schools. We're going to continue to monitor everything that's going on locally, regionally, at the state and national level. We're going to continue to take weekly input from health officials and government officials to make informed decisions. We're going to continue obviously prioritizing in-person learning and keeping our uh typical annual schedule of calendar activities up and running. That includes field trips. There will be many back this spring that were not able to happen uh in the past and we are very excited about that. Uh and I know our students are. Um a couple of things. Um we had issued a short-term mass mandate on January 11th that tracked for 3 weeks and expired on January 28th. There are people who have been watching very closely our data dashboard and I just
038wanted to remind people about where we're getting our resource information from weekly and and as we're comparing what's going on on our campus to what's going on locally. We're always looking to see what's going on with our partners at Tri Health. Uh we're always looking to see what's going on with the Hamilton County Health um uh public health agency and we report cases to them. So, Hamilton County Health's COVID tracker is a is a great tool. Uh, and anybody can use that every week to monitor not only cases, but vaccinations local to zip codes and age demographics in the area. We're continuing to watch federal transportation orders. We should get some news on that very soon about the March federal transportation order, which is again a mass mandate on all buses and transportation that's still
039in effect uh in our district. And then of course we're looking daily um at some other detail as we move along. We have not surveyed again since January just so that everybody knows. But this is where our faculty vaccine rates stood in January. And then our grade breakdowns 1 through 7 and 8 through 12. Um we're continuing to make progress. If you check on the Ohio COVID tracker page and you check the Hamilton County Health page, you will start to see um a large number of young children aged 5 through 18 continue to get their boosters and become fully vaccinated. So, we're very happy about that overall. And many of you may have seen in the news recently that there are um approvals coming for five and under and those things will be handled locally
040through pediatricians offices with individual families by choice. some case load data. Um, and again, I think this tracks along with what you saw with our short-term mass mandate. You can see the totals there at the bottom. Uh, and if you move horizontally, you'll see the amocron surge that impacted our cases here on campus. Um, and though we had masks on, we still had a lot to deal with. Um, especially with student cases and then of course, as everybody knows, our staffing numbers uh became very strained during this time. Uh, but I have to say to the credit of our staff members, our families, our substitutes, our sub aids, our substitute bus drivers, um, we were able to stay in school 5 days a week. And I think that is a celebration for this school district
041and for everybody involved. It It's not a fun thing to go through. We truly appreciate the cooperation of our families um, and to be able to try to mitigate that surge as much as we could. Um, so I'm so grateful to our families and our staff. Um and we got through it and and things are are getting better. Um finally, just some general data about federal COVID COVID vaccination rates, where they're going. They continue to trend up. Um the federal benchmark again set last spring was 70%. When you start to look at the people in our country 18 and over fully vaccinated or who have one dose, we're we're getting there. And that trend has really really grown um since November again. So, for whatever reasons, we're starting to see a large growth. And then
042booster doses 18 and over are starting to grow uh again since December. Our vaccination rate locally 64.2% for those 12 and over um in Ohio and 60% in and over now in Hamilton County. And those links there are again that those are the sites and the resources that I'm using weekly to track all of our our cases. Finally, just want to remind everybody for families who are in need, we have resources that are available. If you talk to a school counselor, a school psychologist, an assistant principal or principal, or a nurse, we can direct you to other resources. We know that we've had people who have asked some questions about uh social emotional or mental health resources. And we have plenty of partners that we work with in the community and want to continue to
043help families to connect with them if need be. questions or comments, board members? >> Yeah, I'd like to make a make a comment. I guess really thanking three groups of people. First, um, you know, if you think about around just the greater Cincinnati community, we had a lot of schools that did have to move to a virtual format um over the surge of omccrron. And so, uh, one, I'd like to thank our administrators and central office. I know I called one time to talk to Mr. Nichols and he was over at the primary school um filling in and and doing things. I know that he wasn't the only person. So, just very appreciative of that. Um secondly to our staff um that fought through and did what they could to make sure they were there
044to keep our schools open. I think everyone in the community can agree that that is an essential part having the opportunity for our kids to uh be in school in person. And the third group would just be the parents and the community. I know that it's been a challenging time. There's a lot of emotions um for whatever reason that are connected to the current pandemic. And I think that um this group and the administration tried to do the best they could to hear folks, listen to them, make very informed decisions to be able to keep our kids safe. And so, uh, thank you to the community and the family that showed some grace as they were expressing their opinions and thoughts and that it's important that that our community does know that those opinions and
045thoughts were heard and we always try to make the best, you know, and most informed decisions we can make. So, thank you to to those three groups. >> Yeah, I would like to echo that. Um it's nothing short of a herculean effort by Kirk and his team, the building principles to the teachers to everybody that we got through the last month. It's not easy right now being in public education. Um there's a lot of emotions, a lot of people charged up over various issues and our team did a great job keeping the schools open, which has been primary goal number one since the beginning of all this.
