Uh we're going to start uh like we have all year long with our last monthly thank you video. So, if you could turn your attention, I think you'll enjoy this look back. There's so much more to come. There's something I can feel standing here before the daylight. When we know we caught lightning in a bottle. No telling what will follow with you and me. That's all right. Now our time has come. Let's just run. We've only just beun, so let's just run. Our time has finally come.

003We are here to celebrate the class of 2025. It's going to be an amazing night on the hill for our grads. I'm so happy to celebrate these leaders. When I think of this class, I think of resilience and leadership. They have learned to put their leadership skills on display. The community service the class of 2025 has demonstrated around this community is simply unparalleled. They've really set the bar for future Braves. Well, not only is this a milestone, but I think it's a new beginning for many of them. So, there's excitement because the memories, the friendships, the things that they've shared here will likely last a lifetime. >> It's an honor to stand before you here today as you close this chapter and step into the vast, exciting unknown of your future. Class of 2025, this

004is your moment. You're ready for this. You've already proven your resilience, your creativity, and your heart. You're standing on the shoulders of everyone who supported you, your family, your teachers, your friends of this amazing Indian Hill community. The next chapter is yours to write. >> I think I speak for the class of 2025 when I say for the final time, it's a great day to be a brave. And I'm confident that if we truly stay awake, the tomorrows ahead won't just be great, they'll be ours. >> Be proud of your accomplishments. Be proud of your growth. and be proud of what it means to be part of this school, this family, this home. Indian Hill will always be home. >> We have known each other for a very long time. You are the reason that

005Indian Hill Schools is so special. Let me end this speech with a way that we started every day at the elementary school by saying, "Treat each other right, do the right thing, and have a great day." Congratulations, class of 2025. Remember that you are and always will be braves. >> Our time has finally come. Let's just finally come. >> Pretty fun night. >> Thank you. Thanks to everybody. And I want to thank Eric Sini. I want to thank all the people that help produce all of our videos and of course Heather Hickden um our nationally recognized CCO for all the work that has happened on all of these videos all year. I think they're a great way for our parents and community to interact and learn about our schools when they're not here. And when

006they are here, I hope that they're proud of of what they see, especially at graduation time. Uh moving on, we have an annual uh nutrition report that we do yearly and we have some of our guests here along with I believe Adam from Armark and I want to welcome the gentlemen. Uh if you guys would like to come to the podium at this time. >> Oh, thank you. Hi, welcome. My name is Adam. Thank you for having me. Um, with Aramark, I am uh fairly new uh to Aramark. I joined Aramark in December of 2024 um with over 14 years of experience in food service. Uh I started off in restaurants uh when I was 16. Um and uh busting tables, washing dishes, so I really got my foot in the door. um worked my

007way up uh to management in restaurants and then I moved into healthcare and was in healthcare for about three years uh prior to coming with Aramark for student nutrition. Uh I am a certified dietary manager, certified food protection professional um which long-winded saying that uh very educated on food protection um and when I was in healthcare uh was very um you know apt to learning different nutrition uh which I use in student nutrition every day. Uh some of the core values that I hold um here at Indian Hill is just continuing to build on the great partnership that Aramark has had uh with Indian Hill. Um I focus on building really strong relationships with all the students, the parents and the school district as a whole uh by communicating with the parents um students and

008then u you know our board members and uh members of the district. Um, I actively listen to the feedback uh to improve the meal experience. And I'll dive into that a little bit uh based off a student survey that we did this year. Um, and then my biggest thing that I focus on in food service is creating a positive impact through food. Um, you know, it's kind of one of my one of my sayings that I've said for a long time is how can I make people happy through food? Um, and so doing that in restaurants, doing that in healthcare, and now in student nutrition is something that's very important to me. Uh so student and family engagement um Aramark put out a student survey um in April of this past year. Um and we

009were able to get a lot of very valuable feedback um from that survey. Um a lot of the uh comments and things that we saw were different menu requests um different food items that students want to see. um at our younger schools in elementary and primary um we had the parents obviously facilitate that survey with the students and so we were still able to get very valuable feedback uh regarding our younger students. Um and something different about this year was that there was a personal comment section in that survey that we were able to get uh specific things from the students that they wanted to see. It wasn't a selection that they had to choose from. They were able to type in their own answers. So that really gave us the most feedback. um of

010specific items that were able to transfer into this 2526 school year. Uh one of the other things that's really important to me is uh being engaging with the families, right? Because sometimes students won't tell you what all they're looking for, especially when you get to the younger students. Um so by attending um welcome back orientations at all the different schools um by able I'm able to u kind of bridge that gap between students and families and food service. Uh, so something that a student may not tell me, their parent will, uh, which is what we want to hear. Um, and then I'm also able to get ahead of um, questions that are commonly asked throughout the school year. A lot of the biggest questions are, "How do I put money on my students account?" I'm

011able to tell them that before school even starts, um, what our different menu options are, what selections they have to choose from. Um, and then if the student has any dietary restrictions, how Aramark goes about that, making sure that we're still providing healthy, nutritious, uh, meals to those students. Um, and then, you know, throughout the year, um, I I spoken with all the all the school principles and leadership, um, and they all have my information and I told them that it's okay for them to give my information to parents as they see fit. Uh, because I'm really able to, um, kind of break out that middleman of, you know, the parent reaching out to the principal and the principal reaching out to me. I'm able to communi communicate directly with the family. Uh so at

012a primary primary and elementary school being on the national school lunch program, all of our lunches do meet uh USDA guidelines and regulations uh for nutritional adequacy. And part of Aramark's menu development software. Um it automatically pulls the nutritional components from those menu items. So when we're building the menu, we know right away that we're hitting all of those um all of those points. Uh some of the things that we do throughout the year is uh education to the students, especially the younger students about what makes a meal, making sure that they have a certain amount of food groups um for a reimburseable meal, getting three out of the five components on their lunch tray every day. Um and then Aramark has a ACE program um which promotes healthy eating habits. There's a few fun

013giveaways throughout the year. There's a mascot. They just try to make it fun for the students uh to really get them engaged. uh some of the new additions that we have for this upcoming school year. Based off of those survey results, one of the biggest things that we saw, especially at the high school and middle school, was more variety. Um you know, rather than just your, you know, normal day-to-day items, they wanted to really see some change in new fresh items. So, we instituted a new uh concept at our high school called Global Kitchen, where Global Kitchen is actually based off of a concept that I saw at a college that I toured um since being here at Indian Hill. Um and what was really successful is rotating international cuisine at this station. Um so

014whether it's on a oneweek rotation, two week rotation, being able to give the students more variety um of something that you know we may be able to um you know focus on an international our international student population and give them something that they may be used to seeing at home. Um and then really incorporating that student feedback once again so our students understand that they are heard on this survey. The survey isn't just going into thin air. their comments are being seen. Um, across all of our schools, we're focusing on tailoring our lunch service uh to student focus, right? So, uh, we're adding more variety in in the sense of customization that the students can do. So, I'm building condiment and toppings bar for all of our sandwiches uh to really give them that sense

015of um they can kind of create their own adventure. Uh, and then focusing on stu um service to the student exact uh directly. So, you know, not so much having a grab and go in a boat to where they pull out their meal, but actually having that employee serving the student right when they walk up just to build that interaction. Hey, what's for lunch today? This is uh this would go really well with this. This would pair well with this. That sort of conversation. And then uh something new that we we tested at the end of this last school year uh that worked really well that we're going to be continuing on to next school year is breakfast grab and goes at our middle school. So, this is we're only open for about 2530 minutes

016when students get off the bus and get out of their cars um prior to their advisory bell. And this is something that's quick. You know, we're talking um parfets, we're talking uh fruit, we're talking cereal, milk, juice, that sort of thing. Um so, we know that they have full bellies to the start of their day. That, you know, students uh thrive throughout the school day um with healthy breakfast. Um a couple of the um other additions that we have u menu changes as well. Um so we're changing something um just like our pizza. We're we're going to more um pizza that they would be um used to seeing at their house. Um so just small menu changes uh by using those student survey results uh and then incorporating healthier options and more menu customization. For

017example, at the high school, we have a big deli bar. Um that is kind of a create your own adventure wrap um concept like a Chipotle style. Um but we're adding in other concepts of you can make any sub a salad. You can make your salads here with all of these toppings, that sort of thing. Um and just moving on to better marketing so the students understand what is at their fingertips. going on in marketing. Uh we're updating our menu design on the website uh to make things more straightforward for the families looking on there. um and you know make it more um uh up todate for the students reading that and then also utilizing the technology that we have around the building uh to really get our menu out there and um understood amongst

018the students because one of the things that we saw in the survey was um better ways to communicate menu changes and specials to those students whether that's on email on the newsletter and then on the TVs that we have around campus. Uh and finally, some of the um additions, uh faculty and staff meals. We're really trying to focus on um you know, not letting our faculty and staff go hungry throughout the day as well. So, over the summer, I'm working on a um order ahead system for our faculty and staff. So, this is something that'll be really cool. We'll most likely do it by a Google doc or something that's able to be shared uh to everyone. Um and we'll have a menu posted. the faculty and staff will get that um you know in

019their weekly newsletter and then they will be able to go on there place their orders and that will come directly to myself and two of my kitchen managers. That being said, orders, let's say, will be submitted by 9:00 am that day and then their meal will be ready for pickup at lunch. Because one of the things when I was talking with faculty and staff is they don't have a ton of time to walk from one side of the building to the cafeteria, fight through 150, 200 students to to get their uh you know, chicken Caesar wrap. Um so, if we're able to prepare that ahead of time and have it ready for pickup, uh that's something that we want to do. Um, and then some of the updates that we're having to uh the high

020school serving line. Um, it has been freshly repainted um with a fresh coat of white paint, nice Indian Hill red trim, and it looks fantastic down there right now. Um, and then we are also uh getting better signage um for our different stations uh that mimic the middle school uh renovations. So, um each station will have its signs um similar to this um right above where we're looking. um decals uh a few decals on the wall just to really make it an exciting experience for the students and make it um make it something different than just going in and picking up. >> All right, so that is all I had uh for my presentation. We have a lot of really exciting things happening uh for this upcoming school year. Um so I thank you for

021your time and if there's any I don't know if we're opening up for questions but anyone has anything then >> I have few. So, first you said that you did a survey. Was it a K to2 survey? >> Yes, it was K to2 um for the primary and elementary school. Um I sent it to the parents um and the parents were sitting down with their um students filling it out. >> That's good. And uh so is is there a Q&A for families for basic like at the beginning of the school year as you said that a lot of parents have different questions like how do I put the money or how much uh balance do I have? So is there that information on the website somewhere? >> That's something that we're going to be adding

022on to the website. >> So will you have your own website like a page that will go through Indian Hill? We we have a uh we have a sub section on the Indian Hill website that has all of our menus and and that sort of thing. >> So if a parent has a question, how do they reach out to you? Can they do that? >> Um I I'm when working on um updating the website, I'll have my information on there so they can reach out. >> There'll be a there'll be a um a link also on the website in the app and they can also um uh call or email. >> Call that's nice. I see a lot of good changes that you are bringing at and uh really appreciate you coming out here and

023you know presenting us. Uh so one last question is with all these changes is the pricing going to change? Is it going to go up or >> So we're we're evaluating the pricing over the summer um to see you know that was one of the things that we saw on the student survey was um you know the prices were too high. Um that's something that we're evaluating and we and Airark has um tools that we use based off of food cost and and current market changes. Uh so we're evaluating that. >> Thank you. >> Go ahead. >> I I would just add a couple of things. Um Adam came to us midyear. I think he's done a phenomenal job of listening to our families, our staff, our administrators about what we want in a program.

024Um, obviously at the secondary level we've talked about we would love to to mimic some of the things you would see at a collegiate level and uh he continues to do that. Um, I appreciate Adam's creativity. Um, he really uh has went out and as you heard he's been to some college campuses to do some research. So, um, we really appreciate that and he's listening to our families. He's listening to our students and uh, I think that makes all the difference. So, we're grateful and we are super excited about what's to come in the upcoming school year. I would just add traditionally, you know, we have tried to work with Aramark um now for a long time um and try to keep our pricing stable and when we get into a later part of the

025agenda today and we're talking about um the law um we have always tried to make sure people understand why we have a couple of our programs on the program and a couple of our schools off the program and we are also impacted by legislation uh with costs. So there are things that we have usually uh annually tried to take care of without passing things on to families. Um but we'll talk a little bit about that later. >> One question I had, Adam, as far as the historical data, do we have anything that shows like the number of meals served over the past couple years to give us some kind of an idea if we're serving more, less? Yeah. >> Yeah, absolutely. there's there's uh information from um on our Aramark side that I can pull

026that information and you know connect with you after and if if needed or you know I can speak with um you know our representatives here and that's fine. >> Yeah. And and we have um meetings I have monthly meetings with uh with Mick and Jim regarding uh kind of our trends um and a lot of the great things that Indian Hill partnership has brought has brought increased meals over the course of x amount of years. That's what I was hoping to hear. >> Yes, things things are going very well. >> Changes are paying off. You're getting more of the students to actually eat in the uh the cafeteria of what you have provided for. >> Absolutely. >> And from a health factor, >> when you look at where we were say two or three years

027ago to where we are today, >> do we feel like we've made a lot of progress in that front as far as having healthier options for the students? >> Yes. >> Yeah, absolutely. and and and from a menu standpoint, um there's been a lot of innovations with um menu items um and and options that we're able to serve that are nutritious. You know, it's not always a salad that you know is going to give you nutrients, right? And so um but like I said, continued ed education with um the students of you know, hey, this is something this is a healthy meal, whether it's a smoothie or that sort of thing. Um yeah, we're we're continuing to do. >> Thank you. One one last thing I think also Jim I think we would point out

028is um Aramark is uh one of our partners that you know we were all concerned five or six years ago about staffing and Aramark continues to help us to maintain staffing in a highly competitive industry where it is hard to source employees and Aramark consistently has our kitchens fully staffed. >> Thank you for your time. >> Thank you. Uh moving on if that's okay. Uh board members, we are uh uh grateful today to have uh Esther Hall and Lauren Richardson here with director Damado and they are going to give us an entrepreneur center and department of K12 leadership and career development update. >> Come on and let's go. >> Mr. Dado, sir, >> could you resend your presentation to me? Do you have that available? I can't seem to find it in my >> Well,

029>> I apologize for that. >> That's Can you make sure? >> Yeah, we're gonna Thank you, sir. >> Yep. >> Yeah. >> Not that I've heard of. and see if that pops up. Um, while it's loading, I'll just going to start uh because again, I know some folks think that we may talk a lot and we have limited time. So, the first thing I'm going to say is just thank you. Thank you for your time to letting us come here today uh in June and really have an opportunity to share all the things that have happened both with the launching of a brand new department and a brand new space. Um and so I want to kind of take a step back in terms of how we started what all of our work is is

030is about and the why behind the work. So again I want to go back to just reiterating the work that we have engaged in the work that we're spending all our time in developing goes back to our strategic plan. That goes back to our in-hill promise in developing students as doers, as individuals, and the whole children and really doubling down on those high yield strategies of project-based learning, building thinking classrooms and leadership. And when you look at statistics from an industry professional perspective of the importance of these traits of leadership development, of career pathway focus, um there's perhaps no greater time than right now of why this intentional commitment to this work is so important. And so to be part of the work is a blessing. So I want to just reiterate to those get

031who are here and those that watching at home just to um share some of the things that I had the opportunity to share in November when we shared kind of our three-year strategic plan for the entrepreneur center and talking about the four main focus areas of leadership development, career pathway development, experiential learning, K through2 and entrepreneurship programming. What does that mean for our students? And so I'm going to talk a little bit about leadership and then I'm going to have part of our team here. So super excited to be able to bring the whole team here and share all the things that we've been doing. And again in November we we talked about big big ideas, big objectives in these four areas. And so I want to make sure that we highlight that before we

032start. The end in mind, our big goal for leadership development is really simple. And that is that all braves learn what it means to be an effective leader, lead themselves so they can be better owners of their world, and then have those leadership opportunities in school to cultivate that. Yes. from the youngest of braves to those that you just saw in that graduation video which again pulls on our heartstrings every time we watch it. In November, I shared kind of our three-year three-phase approach of some of our large commitments in these particular areas. And today, we're going to do as best as we can, as quickly as we can, and highlight some of the successes and the progress within these particular areas. And we're going to focus on that phase one approach, kind of where

033we were. And so, you're going to see this throughout the presentation of what were some of those commitments we made in those four areas. And so what we did like we always should do is we at the end of the year with some of our kind of partners in that professional organization we actually did a full day audit of everything we put forth since last May our 30 60 90-day plan we audited how did we do the strategic plan that we created November we audited in an honest feedback constructive feedback where are we being successful where were we missing the mark and part of that what you're going to see in the space these are the three particular bullets that are in your folder in the onepage executive summary that I shared with you in

034November. And so what you see here is this is phase one, two, and three and some of those big key uh marks. And green is very simple. Green means it's launched. It's in progress. We're happy to share that. Yellow means it is in progress. Um and blue means we're not quite there yet. We haven't started that. And so again, you'll see some of that in terms of us auditing how we're doing along the way. But from a by the numbers perspective, in terms of sharing some of the successes and leadership development, I really want to share some of the highlighted notes. We'll try to hit as many as possible in the short time we have. But one of our commitments was to talk about leader and me and bringing leadership development back down to our

035students and transfer what we know as adults as leaders and how do we do that into our into our staff. And so some of the goals that you'll see those are the black bullets and then the red is the progress we've made within each of those areas. So you can see over a hundred of our staff have engaged in leader and me training and seven habits of highly effective training and come August of 2025 uh which is coming up our primary school and elementary school go into full launch full implementation of bringing leadership development and programming down into the youngest of brave and we kick that officially uh in the fall through student leadership opportunities. Yes sir. I don't want to interrupt you too much, but can you just explain that's a lot of professional

036learning just >> what that looked like in terms of total time commitment by staff members? >> Yeah. So, if you look in terms of days, this the uh you're looking at a total of we'll call them three official professional learning days, full day trainings, workshops. It's very interactive. It's very reflective. The seven habits really allows us to start thinking about ourselves as adults. How are we doing and growing? And then the leader in me is now what does that look like at a classroom level as an execution level with students? And although it's kind of a one-day workshop holistically, there's actually quarterly and monthly meetings with subcommittee teams that help build and start to plan this work. So like like you said, Mr. Kcki, it is more than just what it looks like. It's multiple

037days. It's a consistent cadence. Um and right now the primary school and the elementary school have gone through it. upcoming middle school and high school will do it to be bring full invitation to the entire district as of August 2026. Um and so that's also continuous and so when you think about building leadership teams and committees within school all of that that development and planning is part of that let's say that training. Um one of our commitments is student leadership opportunities for all students. And when we started to do a kind of a student leadership audit last spring, we were able to identify in each of the le levels what are some really specific explicit opportunities students have to lead and we had a lot and we had a lot to celebrate but the goal

038was to keep going. Eventually it needs to be all students and so the black was the goal from uh really last May and August which was to ensure that we have 50 plus opportunities across the district. But in meeting with our building principles and talking about it through our leadership retreat, we've had over 70 explicit student leadership opportunities. That could be things as as you heard as students reading the the announcements of the primary school to students taking part in student leadership team and building subcommittees and work for the high school. So it's a wide range. Some other opportunities this year we co-hosted the high as spring middle school student leadership conference for the first time. So over 70 plus students from across 10 districts had an opportunity to come right here in the Indian

039Hill Middle School and have times to dive into what leadership means for them and then bring that that conversation and those goals back to their own schools including ours and start to develop that leadership culture in their own schools which is really just a gift. This past year, we've been able to send over 70 of our students across Southwest Ohio to uh student leadership conferences to have that opportunity to immerse themselves into leadership culture to learn about the tenants of leadership and to build those skills that go along with self leadership so that again they bring that back into their classroom, their sports, their teams, uh to amplify what we do. And of course you've probably seen through the newsletter. We'll talk a little bit about that light later to be able to host some

040of the um really incredible leaders uh in the nation and the world in our leadership summit on the hill events. Chris Singleton and Sue Inquis both uh unbelievable leaders when they were here they had the opportunity to really connect with all of our Braves K through 12. So not just large presentations at the high school but all the way down to primary school and elementary school. Chris brought his books and he read his books with the students uh to our kids about what leadership mess and is just in a powerful moment of impact for students. One of the things we've talked about is learning about leadership uh explicitly through credentials and certifications. So this is something we've been working on for quite some time. Uh really started the high school and now it's uh spread

041across the district. So you can see some of the numbers of staff and students have been part of those credentialed and cert certified leadership excellence and leadership development programs. These are things again that we talked in November that Fortune 500 companies are asking of their own employees to bring with them into the space so that they can become more successful leaders in their organization. And so to be able to continuously bring that to students and to pilot some new opportunities like the self student self leadership badge through the blanch transit or one of the very few high schools in the state of Ohio bringing that program to students to allow them to dive into themselves to develop as leaders. But we're not just talking about students. We're also talking about staff because at the end

042of the day it does start with us as adults. If we can lead ourselves, manage ourselves and model after students then students get to come along the way. we become better leaders for them. And so you can see there some of the opportunities that we've offered continuously with our with our staff. I'm hosting the book study right now with 14 of our staff members. Summertime talking about leader and me and what does this mean and look like for schools and they're just so excited about getting into it in August. You see over things like Brave Academy sessions and professional learning opportunities that our our staff have that they've dove into this year through the through the department. We've also uh teamed up with Hamilton County uh educational service center and we created the first annual

043intentional leadership summit where not only were we talking about in driving leadership culture and development here at Indian Hill but also sharing with other districts around the southwest Ohio because again as much as again I'm a I'm a brave I also have students of my my own children that are in another district I want this type of work for my own children. So to be able to share this with other districts is a really special gift and we created the very first intent leadership summit. Next one's coming up in the fall. Um and then uh we were just able to create a very first annual brave leadership institute a two-week opportunity to invite individuals from across the region administrators teachers counselors whomever to dive into developing leadership within themselves. So, um, kind of a really

044great first year of of of work and engagement within that space. Can't wait for the second year to start talking about career pathways. I'm going to shift it over to our career and college counselor, this is Esther Hall. >> Thank you. So, I'm going to focus on the career pathways and what we're doing career-wise through um the entrepreneurial center. And I was excited for the opportunity to take on this additional role and I'm still excited. So, uh um this this is this is great work. So um let's get started. >> Other way other >> okay so these are the different phases that we are implementing. Phase one we have things in the works. So we're going to talk about the self exploration what students are doing in the classroom to be ready career-wise um credentials

045and educating stakeholders. All these things are phase one what we are think what we're doing now. Phase two is in the works. We're working on those. We should be able to have some of those things done hopefully by next year next year and then ongoing with phase three. That is ongoing. We are developing and meeting with higher education um partners to make sure that we are relevant with what we're having our students do. So here are just a nice little visual of of the three phases launched in progress and then in progress. So by the numbers so self-exloration for our career development um we are making sure that students come into the high school with some idea of what they want to do. They may not know it specifically but some type of cluster maybe

046if it's maybe it's healthcare maybe it's engineering but we want them to at least know some type of strengths they have and talents. So through that we are using youth science in ninth grade where students all ninth graders take you science. Um they do a whole personal profile and it gives them a lot of great information that they can use to help them go back and see different jobs, different strengths, how they think, how they work, what what are their best skills. So youth science is what they are using in the ninth grade to help them start that process. Eighth graders are also doing a lot of career pathway exploration and awareness through their advisories, but they're using Ohio meanings jobs at this point. So, they all we all have something that we're using to

047help students engage in the work. Um, and then we are going to try and get this, you know, K through 12 curriculum standardized. So, this is all the things that we're doing each grade. Everyone knows this is what you're going to expect from each grade. So, that's going to be ongoing too. So al so next thing I want to talk about is the credentials the industry recognized credentials. I'll just give a brief um definition. Those are a certification that students have have skills or mastered a certain skill. And so these are great um things that they can put on their resume if they're looking for careers, if they're looking for if they're even applying to colleges. It just helps them stand out in the pool because they've mastered certain skills and so that kind of

048stands out on their resumes. So we have some of these are the students that we're we're highlighting here. You can see ling ling six sigma and um you can see read those for yourself. And then we also have staff engagement. Like Jeff said, it's not just the students that are getting these credentials, but we also have staff. And then um 27 of these industry recognized credentials were completed by our students through our computer science program. And um then um of those are through our Oaks program and Indian Hill students. Now, well, our Oak students are Indian Hill students. I shouldn't say that. So um 112 of those IRC's through the Oaks. Now the Oaks have always had these. they've always given these granted these um credentials to students but now through this department we're able

049to highlight them bring more awareness to them and bring more opportunities to students to say hey if this is the career that you're looking at maybe this is a credential that you want to look at so I mean it might be offered through the oaks so that might up the population of students that might be doing a half day here half day at the oaks because again we want them to have that career pathway that's best for them again more about phase two phase one educating our stake stakeholders. So we've had two presentations this year. First in the fall where we talked about why we're doing this what this work means IRC's the future of work why they are important. So we gave some awareness to our parents and this was 6 through 12 invited.

050So we had parents from sixth grade all the way to high school um engaged in what this means. And then in March, we did another presentation specifically on industry recognized credentials, explaining what they are and how students are able to get them. Just a real in-depth presentation so that students and we taped it and it was online so everybody could go back and look at it if they weren't able to actually be there. our pathway articulation that is the one pager that you have in your folders and this was worked on diligently for a year and I think that this is the final draft. So, but that is just the first phase. We have that one done that pretty much gives a student that is interested in Indian Hill or already attending um and prospective

051families what if you're interested in computer science these are the things that you're going to be able to experience at Indian Hill High School and it's ongoing the um partnerships are there that shows them if they want to do an internship or something like that they can see the companies that are attached with that um pathway and then ongoing in progress we're going to be working next on business and then healthc care will be our next one pages coming And we hope to have those done by the end of next year. And like I said, we're meeting with different higherups to make sure that what we're doing is relevant. It stays relevant. Do we need to change anything? Do we need to add anything? We want to make sure that we're not just doing stuff

052because we are not all knowing. We know that there are some people that can be give us some good feedback. And so through these different areas, we are getting some um feedback to make sure that what we're doing is is relevant. And there it is again the one page. We're very proud of that code does work. So if you want to schedule now we can scan right now. >> You can scan that. >> There you go. So uh Esther I have to just ask you this. Uh so all these courses that are listed on this. So we are offering those at Indian Hill for our students. >> Yes. For middle school and high school. So those are going to be both. So students coming in from sixth grade can see that middle school and high

053school you'll be able to have these experience and clubs as well are both middle school and high school. Um and obviously the partnerships will be in the high school. >> Okay, that's great. >> And I want to hand it over to the amazing Lauren. And I don't say ma amazing just as a word. I've always known that Lauren was amazing but then to work with her I'm like wow it's another level. So yes, when I say amazing, I'm passing over to the amazing Lauren. >> Thank you. Um, again, so excited. You can tell our team, we're just so excited about the work that we're doing and and how relevant it is and meaningful for students. The best thing for me this summer is getting the random emails from kids saying, "My in I just went

054into the office for my internship. I'm having so much fun. Do you have any connections for this?" I just I've always loved student emails in that regard, but just how relevant it is for their futures. I'm I'm loving the work. So as Jeff said um one of our pillars um being experential learning um what we're going to do is we're going to share um a little bit again about our phase. So phase one this year and again um this is my first year in the role. I transitioned from innovation coach um at the high school um from the past six years. So this is my first year in this role. Um and we've been really excited about expanding our partner network and mentor network we'll talk about and then amplifying our experience opportunity. So um

055anxious to give you all a glimpse into that. again expanding our partner network and mentor coaches. You will see that is definitely launched. Um aligning the student self- assessment. This goes back to kind of what Esther was talking about with you science. How do we more purposefully connect the youth science exploration work with career opportunities for students um and then enhanced connections with PBL BTC and leadership that is in progress and I'll share a little bit about the progress we've made there as well. So, what you're going to see a little bit is the presentation we were able to give at the state level earlier this month in terms of our experience program that we had a lot of people come up to us afterwards and say, "Wow, thank you for the resources. Thank you

056for the inspiration." Um, and again, very proud of the district that we serve and and the students and families that we get to work with. So, um, a big goal for this year was honestly to increase awareness of the program. Something we heard from our student advisory board was students think if they do experiences, they have to do an internship. And again, our students are involved in a lot of things and for some of them, thinking about adding on an internship on top of seven AP classes is very overwhelming. So, in talking with the student advisory board, we said, let's just let's let people know everything that experience offers. So, what you'll see is that goal being achieved. So, at the start of the school year, we had 74 students that were actively enrolled in

057the program, meaning they've applied, they've completed the onboarding course, and they're seeking opportunities. At the end of this school year, we are up to 166 students. When you think at the high school, that's a very large population um of our high school students. Um broken down by class here pretty evenly. And I'm especially proud of our freshman who we have 27 freshmen this year that were exploring um seeking internships, job shadows. And what I love most is I had an eighth grader email me and said, "My brother's graduating. He said, "I need to get involved now. She's already completed the onboarding course and she's ready to go in the fall." So, um, again, I love that siblings are sharing that and, um, students are going after in middle school. Um, as we talked about, hoping

058to expand our mentor coaches. We have 91 total mentor coaches, um, serving in the program. And this these are professionals or students in undergrad, um, that are helping to work with our students on interviewing, on resume work. What I love is uh some of you sitting up there right now um have students that are serving as mentors for us and coaching um some of our experienceship students um just through what this what their future holds and what it could look like. Um again thankful for all of Jeff's wonderful connections he's made over the year with students as a high school principal. This year through LinkedIn he was able to recruit 33 of them. So of those 91 a third more than a third of them are um young alumni which is a great way to

059to connect our young alumni. And just something again that we're incredibly proud of is looking at 124% growth this year alone um in the experience program and what that means for kids and just figuring out maybe what they want to do with their future. And we say it's just as important to us to figure out what they want to do as what they don't want to do um through this exploration. So as we talk about that onboarding course, I wanted to give you a glimpse into what that looks like. So it's broken down into three subsections. Resume writing, success skills, and interview preparation. Some of this is incorporated. We we're using artificial intelligence to show students how they can use these technologies in order to better prepare um again for those interview situations. We have

060um strategies such as the CAR strategy where we had um again district resident um district parent Meredith Winks come in and talk to our student leadership team about how Proctor and Gamble expects CAR as the responses in their interviews. So again, kind of talking to our students about this isn't just something from a book. This is something that professionally you're going to want to use. Professional images, resume writing. Um, again, you can see simple things like email tips, right? How to schedule send an email, how to organize your inbox because when you're a professional, you have to work a little bit different than when you're a student. So, again, kind of going back to what Adam said with Airark, we're constantly seeking student feedback. These are really the four big buckets. Um, after asking the

061166 students involved in the program, what more do you want and need? Um, again, they want more interview practice. We were so excited. The entire sophomore class for their final exam, we were able to bring in partners for the entrepreneur center, and every student was able to go through a 10-minute practice interview with um, again, as part of their project-based learning final in sophomore and uh, sophomore CP English and capstone and get feedback. So, it was very structured out in your elevator pitch. Here's a few poignant questions that we got from our partners. Um, and then the the partners gave the students feedback when they're interviewing. So, we were really excited about how that turned out. And the students, it was great because I saw one student walk out afterwards and I said, "How'd it

062go?" He's like, "I feel really good about that." And I'm like, "What a way to go into summer." Um, and again, just little things like professional presence, them understanding what business casual means. Those are things that are important. Um, and then working on LinkedIn. our kids have gone after LinkedIn like no no nobody's business and it's been so fun to see them post over the summer internships they've earned and credentials they've earned and and just exploration they're doing on their own. So by the numbers um again really proud of this K through 12 54 different career speakers K to 12 and we're re really intentional about making sure we offer variety. So, if we're looking at a month, and I'll use the high school for example, and we've already brought in somebody from business, we're

063looking at a different field. That way, students are seeing like, okay, we're offering the wide variety of career fields out there, not just one pathway. Again, full grade level career events. Um, the site visits have been a real hit with our students this year. We've went um most of them have been hosted by district parents, which is fantastic, at places like RC Capital, Deote, Prismman Group, Proctor, and Gamble. So we're taking students out to Fortune 500 companies for them to see and hear at a very ground level when you step into freshman year at undergrad. Here's how you get an internship at a place like this. So it's it's really exciting and they've had a lot of fun. Business at breakfast events have exploded. We had our record um number of attendance um at our

064global week business at breakfast this year. That is probably one of our most exciting partnerships that we created with the global parent network this year and many thanks to Monica Gibson who helped to kind of be the brainchild behind that. but um had a lot of um partners, you know, expanded through that way. And then right now we have 58 students participating in summer internships um which again I'm loving to hear the updates to see the pictures and 40 plus partners hosting that. So and I'll kind of give a glimpse into that as well. Um, in terms of Jeff talking about initially us trying to again connect with those high yield strategies, we've worked very closely with the Indian Hill Foundation to bring in those experts for those project-based learning um, experiences. So, every teacher

065K to 12 has the opportunity to request a speaker and through that we work with Meredith Ducey. Meredith first goes to her speakers bureau in the Indian Hill Foundation and sees if she has somebody that fits the need of that classroom teacher and she's able to turn these around typically within about 48 hours which is incredible in education. Um and for some reason if Meredith doesn't have anybody in her speakers bureau, Jeff and I also have access to this on the back end that we reach out to our network and we provide somebody for that teacher um in the classroom. We had a a great conversation. Um because initially at the beginning of the year, this form said we need three weeks advanced notice. And anybody in education's like every day it's changing. You never

066know, you know, when you're going to need that person and when it's the right time. So again, we worked with her and and got this really turned around in typically 48 hours for teachers. So this is K to2 that anybody can submit a request. Um some of our partners that you'll see here, um again, you'll see ones like KMK law. Uh thank you very you'll see ones that are in the startup community. What has really been important to us is we don't just want to put, you know, Morgan Stanley, these major companies out there, which again, thank you to another community member at Appful. Had a great site visit this year at Morgan Stanley for our students, but we have people like um Notional. Again, you've got three Forbes 30 under 30 leaders um that

067are working out of Centrafuse. Again, they're hosting, I think, three or four of our students this summer in internship. So, our students are getting experience at at a startup. So they're very ground level learning entrepreneurship and they're also serving at places like RC Capital. Um Samantha Kane is there um working you know in investments and and exploring that. So when we look at our partners we want local, we want international, we want startup, we want Fortune 500. We want our kids to have all the exposure that they can. That way it's not just Cincinnati Children's. You could work someplace else. You know it could be Beacon which is also, you know, a large a large organization. But again, the intentionality behind who it is and how we work with our partners, but many of the

068organizations you see here are district parents and those that have opened their doors and have been excited to offer opportunities to our students. So, um really proud of the work, really excited about the work. Uh and what I love is is it's never over. You you get to continue the creativity. Um so, I'll pass off to Jeff to close us out with entrepreneurship. >> All right. So, last four main f out of the four main focus areas just entrepreneurship. We've talked a lot about with folks and partners of like what what does it mean when you say this word? Does it just mean that we're trying to develop those students that want to own businesses? And the answer is no. It's not simply about just trying to own and start a business, but it's about

069cultivating the skills that an entrepreneur has, an entrepreneurial mindset. And you start to think about like what does that look like translating to school? Well, as you see, as part of our goal, it's not simply about developing business plans and proposals and starting businesses. Make no mistake, it's something that we'll continue to bring to our kids because we have a lot of future business owners or those that really want to. But it is about cultivating mindset. So again, those were some of the the phase goals, phase one goals that we had. If we jump into kind of how we've done, uh again, things are in progress and that's exactly where we want to be. Uh some of our future big ideas, we're not there yet, but it's yet. And so when we think about where

070does this live K through 12 um entrepreneurial mindset business acumen the strategic entrepreneurship CCP class was uh launched this this particular first year and so that's been a great success of again diving into what does it mean to be an entrepreneur from that perspective you'll start to see things like the Indian Hill DECA program and how that continues to to to expand it is one of the most successful not just here locally but nationally um as you see there we continue to connect with higher ed partners and asking them and partnering with them on future programming and opportunities to talk to our kids, mentor our kids. And so this year, that's just a few uh you know, we've taken a couple day trips up to Miami to UC and talk to representatives about how do

071we further partner and connect our kids with their experiences and then how do we have them come down and talk to our kids. One of the goals was to establish an entrepreneur center advisory board that launched officially this winter. We've had two meetings. again is a collection of eight individuals from across the district and beyond the district that come and give us feedback and as Esther talked about allows us to learn about the world outside of school. We are school experts. I feel for school experts, but the world of work is something that sometimes when you're in a school, you start to fall a little out of touch with. And so, who better to ask than those that are actively in that space. And so, to have this team come together and again, like I

072said, they've audited all the work that we that we created. They audited our strategic plan. A lot of the programming that you see, uh, they had feedback in creating that. the uh computer science one pager they they they gave us honest feedback and connecting that to what their world is like so that like Esther said we're making sure that we stay relevant one of the goals of course was connecting this idea to K12 and where does it exist and when you think about entrepreneurial mindset it exists in the design thinking process which is further embedded across our district is about iterating prototyping failing failing forward asking questions that's what entrepreneur does and so it's not just business owner, you know, it's a mindset and where does it live? It's living across our district. Uh some

073other things in terms of just um intentional connections. Several of our big pitch winners are up there. So again, Big Pitch 3.0 again is huge success. Shark Tank high school kids come together and start to dream about big ideas. But what's even better is that you see groups of the past start to intentionally connect with students in different buildings. So the base group which is a business advisory and education connecting with middle school they want to start the stock market game there. We all know what a success our fifth graders are. So that's why we're going to give all of our fifth graders our money so they can invest and we can make some money with our fifth graders. Um but they're intentionally connecting with those students. The student endowment team has connected with our

074fifth grade stock market game winners and they've also talked about stocks and investments and how that looks and we've invited them into the entrepreneur center to sit around and have those conversations with the business professionals. So just how do we continue to further integrate this work with all of our students K through 12. Um just a couple of our success stories and again like I said we're just getting started. But last thing I'll mention is this. Whenever you're thinking about building something new, one of an area that was a growth of mine is how do you find alternative streams of revenue to help amplify what we've done and support programming, not just what we've done, but also what we'd like to build. And so what you see here is all the things we've been able

075to earn just in this last school year from a variety of different locations. In November, I think September, we talked about the CTE equipment grant, which was a large grant that really allowed us to propel our computer science pathway. It helped not just training for our teachers in this space, but also helped build our secondary computer lab there at Indian Hill High School. Um, the career education awareness fund is actually a four-year kind of available fund schools can tap into from a state perspective that you have to write a proposal about. We were awarded over $26,000 within that space earlier this year. And that goes right back into the programming. It helps to pay for things like additional field trips, site visits, big events like business and breakfast, industry recognized credentials. All of those things

076carry a cost and how great could it be if we could find alternative streams of revenue to support those things. Uh just about a month ago, we were uh given the email from Martha Holdley Jennings who once again we were awarded the Martha Holy Jennings fund. The space uh really what we've done within this space, this has helped build and lift up our leadership development, our leadership opportunities. It helped fund the first intentional leadership summit that we partnered with folks like HCSE on to build that opportunity and we were awarded for the upcoming school year as well. Um again have to continuously give a huge shout out to the the foundation. The beginning of the year you know this is something that they're passionate about and we asked you know if they would help uh

077fund the program but also help fund some experts in the field to allow us to get to grow and give us feedback. And so they awarded us uh a very large grant. We're very very appreciative for that. We continues to utilize that from that that $20,000 that they gave us. Everything that you hear is part of that money. And again, um Indian Hill is a special place. And one of the things that we keep saying is one of the hardest things about this job is all the folks that say we want in. We want to help. I don't know how. I just want to know. I see it. I want to be part of it. We never ask. We never ask for money. And sometimes folks just say, "Hey, I would love to still just

078donate privately because of the work that you're doing." So just this year we've been given we've been gifted over $13,000 uh of individual gifts. And again, that's just an absolute um what a privilege and a gift it is. So I really wanted to highlight that. Last thing I'll say is follow. Let us make sure you're connected with us whether you're in this room or you're just listening on tape or at home. These are all the different places that we're sharing our story, what's happening here in the entrepreneur center in this department. So the newsletter, the average open rate is 71.3%. I shared that with Lauren. She said, "That's really good." I'm like, "That's okay." Right? So I'm like, "Come on, there's more people out there. Click and see all the things that we're doing because

079here's why. Whether you have braves in kindergarten or 12th grade, all of this work for your kids. So whether you're listening home and you have a third grader or a first grader or a ninth grader or a seventh grader, this is all for your kids, K through 12. So follow us, follow our YouTube channel, our Instagram page, our Twitter page to see the stories that we can share with with all of you. So hopefully you uh you subscribe and we uh increase that number. And again, I just want to say thank you for your time, Mr. Davis. And now we're way over. Uh we knew we were going to do it, but gosh, thank you for your time. And again, as Adam said, I know we have a long agenda, but if there are some

080questions, we'd be more than happy uh to answer those questions. >> I want to thank you for the presentation. Wonderful. I love your initiative and drive. It's it's very apparent and seeing it in your enthusiasm as you talk to us today. So, you're off to a great start. If there's anything we can do to help you, please let us know. And it sounds like you're pleased with the progress that you guys have made in a short amount of time. Is that fair to say? >> Absolutely. Absolutely. We're always going to keep going, Craig. We always want to dream bigger, but sometimes we do have to sit back and look at all this and and and and be excited and be grateful for what we've done thus far. But I will keep saying we're just getting

081started. >> Great job. Thank you so much. >> Thank thanks to all of you. Um board members, I want to thank you and remind you where we were just uh 18 short months ago at our state of the schools when you made a large commitment to creating this new department of K12 leadership and career development. It may seem sometimes like a long time ago, but it really wasn't a long time ago. And then when you look at a presentation like this, I I actually feel bad saying this in front of Mick and Jim because they have to present next. This this may be the most important presentation I've witnessed in 30 years as a public educator. I've I've actually never seen anything like it. So, thank you, the three of you. I I'm I hope

082you're proud um to see what has occurred in one year in this school district because of your vision and your commitment as a board to support this. Um I get to watch the work that uh Director Damado does with his team and with Mick to build a budget and with our cabinet level uh that he's joined to plan ahead. This is phenomenal. the these numbers, these measures are phenomenal. There is no other public school doing any work like this, not just in Ohio. I I can count on one hand. So, thank you. The work you're doing is extremely important and thank you board members. >> Now, I would say the same thing. Thank you. Like, you know, this is something which is very, very unique to Indian Hill and I wish it was there before

083too. I have always said that when my kids were here because they really missed out on this and it is really going to help our kids grow and be more future ready. So you know uh as you said that all these do uh private donation that's coming up I think it says a lot that why people are investing into it because they see the value and the work that you guys have done and then the excitement that I see in your own voices when you're presenting tells me it's just doing great and we're just very fortunate to have you all here and lucky that you know we have a team like this in our district helping our students. So really appreciate all the work that you guys are doing. Thank you. >> Thank you. >>

084I second all of that. >> And and and now following in your footsteps, we have Mr. Nichols and Mr. Davis are going to provide us a very important um operational update. >> So very proud to follow in those footsteps. I will say that uh having perspective on exactly what it is you are doing and how valuable it is. Um also as a as a treasurer for a school district where I'm now getting the opportunity to be able to go into classrooms and to speak with students and to interact with them. Uh going to the uh leadership breakfast. Um, it's an it's an amazing opportunity to um really make my job feel more empowered and really interacting with the students and I got to help my son tie a tie for the first time. So, so

085he was in a panic one morning and came over here and he's like, I don't know how to do this. I'm like, we'll get it. We'll get it. So, valuable learning opportunities. >> I know the experience because I had to teach my college roommate how to tie a tie. Very similar bonding. >> Yeah. So he's about three years ahead of the uh the college roommate. So um on to the operations update. This is um really a culmination of three different uh presentations that we've done this year. The first one was earlier in the school year where we talked about uh future facility needs. Um within that we talked about more classrooms at the primary school potentially. Uh we talked about potential of a um of a prek or a preschool building that would go somewhere

086on campus along with some other facility needs. Uh last month I pre presented the five-year forecast and some of the um opportunities that we have in the future um with some of the things that are going on both at the local and state levels. Um this is the third part of that. This is the operations update. Um, in this we'll talk more about um sort of our daytoday things where we we don't think about our new high school and our new elementary school that are now two decades old. Um, they need things like roofs and HVAC and then those needs that are going to be every year like school buses and things like that. Um, we've also really tapped into our new um, software called FMX, which allows us to put in all of these

087items into a database and then put a cost to them, put an inflationary cost over time. It also gives us the ability to look at the end of life of things so we can start to see when do we need new roofs, when do we need new HVAC equipment. So, we're starting to use that software and starting to utilize it. and then also utilizing it on a daily basis to track work orders, uh, see what we're, you know, what we're maintaining, and those offer the ability to make decisions on if we're we're repairing the same equipment, it might be time to look at replacing that equipment. So, it's it's been a useful tool. It's been very helpful. This is going to be our first opportunity to present it to the public on some of the

088things we're finding. Um, keep in mind as we go through this presentation, these estimates are just that. They're estimates, but they're going to be some eyeopening estimates on the dollar, the dollars that we need to find and spend on things that we don't think about when we think about maintaining education, roofs, floors, um, you know, buses, things that we don't think about when we think about books and we think about computer software and all the things that we're doing right inside those classrooms. So, with that, I'll go ahead and turn it over to Jim. He's going to talk about the summer projects we've got going on. >> So, I would agree this is not probably as exciting as what we just heard about uh at the EC, but they did help build the EC. So,

089um we'll talk a little bit about that. But, uh before we jump into looking at some of the uh the facility needs over the next few years, I just wanted to highlight a few of the projects that we've got going on this summer. Um, I I always have to start with a huge thank you to our maintenance department. Um, I'll jump to the end because it's an exciting number. Over 1,700 work orders were completed this year. That's a lot of work. Some of those are very quick um go in and and fix or uh make an adjustment. Others take a lot more time and effort, but uh our maintenance team does such a great job um with all the work. And you'll see here in just a minute, we're going to talk about the facility

090needs. These numbers would be much higher without our facility team. They they keep our equipment in great condition. They prolong the life of everything in our district. Ken Stegman leads that team. He knows every inch of every building except for the primary school. He's been here for the construction of every school. So, he knows where everything is in the district. His his knowledge is invaluable. But, uh, couple of things I'll highlight. Um, increased ADA seating area in the, uh, Sue Harter pack. That's such an important project. Um we continue to have students that come through um and have various mobility needs. This allows some of our students to make sure that they can be seated along with all their peers. Um that's an important thing that we've been doing all over the the campus. You

091you think back to our project and the playgrounds that we developed. Um this is just a continuation of that and our maintenance team is leading that work. Um we enhanced uh and added a safety vestibule down near the EC. Um, as you heard, we're frequently having visitors to our campus and currently they need to come through our main entrance, walk through the entire building to get down there because we want to badge in and make sure that everybody on our campus is safe to be here. Um, very soon we'll be able to do that down at the EC. So, we're enhancing some safety there. Um, super exciting. Our big pitch, um, you know, celebrated two projects. One of those is a brave room at the high school and our maintenance team is uh intimately involved

092with creating a room and a space in our uh college and career counseling space. And so they're in the midst of doing that right now and I'll be excited to share some pictures. In addition to that, we have annual cycles, things like carpet cabinetry that go on in all of our buildings. Um we talked about the media center at the high school last month. Um if you go over there right now, you'll see there's no carpet in there. It's beautifully painted. Um it is going to look much nicer, much more appealing. Um they're even building a small stage in there so students can do presentations, things like that in there. So it will look good until we're ready to uh move to the next phase of that project. But uh and then along with all

093that just annual maintenance, um cleaning of changing of filters, um just going in and making sure all the equipment and I would be remiss if I did not talk about our team from Scarlet and Gray who is cleaning every inch of our campus right now um in every classroom. They typically empty that classroom out, clean it top to bottom, and and put all that equipment back in there. So, a lot of great work going on right now as we get ready for August. So, we broke these these annual they're they're really we're looking at at a five-year plan here of things that need to be um possibly possibly replaced within those five years. And we broke those out by uh building or department. So, we started in the primary school. Um, obviously that's our oldest

094building. Um, there's a significant uh section of two roofs that need replaced there. Um, we are looking in the we are in the process of looking at um quotes and figuring out how much that's going to cost and what the best plan is for a replacement or if we're going to just uh go with the roof we have and and add, you know, something that will improve the life of that roof. Um, we talk about carpet cycles all the time. Um, those are obviously very important. Uh, when I first arrived in the dis the district 10 years ago. Um, we weren't necessarily on a carpet cycle, so we had to catch a lot of those things up and get uh get those in place. But the carpet does take a lot of wear and tear.

095Um, it gets dirty quickly because we we're all wearing shoes. We go inside, we go outside. So, that's something that needs to be replaced frequently. And then we talk about the media center renovation at the primary school. Um we have had a presentation here where the uh the folks at the primary school came down uh told us about what they would like to see that media center become. Um just these three items that we bullet pointed here about $1.7 million over the next five years. So you can see just from a very very high view of some of the things we need to do is it's a very the the dollars add up very quickly. >> Yeah. And I would say just because you're going to see roofing show up. We did a very comprehensive

096study of our roofs. We worked with a roofing contractor who um took some heat maps to look at where uh potentially um climate was escaping from buildings. looking at if there's any moisture in those uh roofs to be able to create a really good plan for when we need to replace roofs. We have some choices we can make along the way. Um I would say with each of these projects, they're not all-encompassing. If we went back to the primary school, you've still got single pane windows down there. There's certainly an energy loss to that. Something we want to consider in any kind of um improvement project we do down there. If you look under the uh if you look uh outside the the windows, there's a a fascia that goes around the entire campus. We've

097we've upgraded and and done some work to that over time, but it still needs some some improvement. So, with each of these, we're giving you what we think are the big ticket items, but there's still other things that we would look at. Um and again, we've got on here, uh we did such a beautiful job on the expansion at the elementary school and the new area over there. It it certainly makes the existing building though um highlight some needs. Those buildings you'll you'll see the elementary and high school are 20 plus years old. Some of the um the equipment and the materials in there are end of life and flooring is one. The hallway flooring in both the high school and uh elementary school needs to be replaced. We have numbers on that and those

098are inclusive of that uh 1.7 uh million number right there. So, at the middle school, obviously, we've got a brand new building here. There's very few needs. This equipment is actually equipment that's in the central utility plant, which is housed behind the middle school. Um, we'll talk more in depth about the central utility plant and the goals we have for that facility as it relates to this campus. Um, here in the next frame, right now, we're looking at about $400,000 of HVAC equipment that needs to be replaced in in that that facility. Um that equipment came online approximately 2012. Um it does uh heat and cool the middle school. And as we look at the high school, the very first bullet point there is a cooling tower replacement. Uh what that cooling tower replacement entails

099is it's basically the goal of that central utility plant when it was built back in the early the early 2010s was to heat and cool this entire campus. When we built the new middle school, there was part of that project, a less glamorous part of that project that laid um a long length of black pipe through the back end of the campus that went all the way down to where the yard is over by the um uh the end of the high school down by the cafeteria. So we are ready when the cooler to cooling tower in reaches the end of its life to hook up the entire high school building to the central central utility plant and achieve that goal we had back in 2010 of of getting heating and cooling for the entire

100campus in one center. Um the cooling tower replacement is actually um two it's two pieces of equipment. There's a chiller that goes along with it and then the cooling cooling tower itself. The cooling tower sits outside of the building in a yard that's enclosed down there that has a significant square footage value to it. Um, its replacement life expectancy is a little bit less than the the chiller that goes with it that actually sits inside the building. Um, there would be very little we could recover from that chiller as far as space usage. Um, we could probably use it for some storage, things like that. But part of what we're as we think about this strategically is if we were to do something like a bond levy where we would go out and ask for

101funds for facilities, how would we do this cooling tower replacement? Would we look at it as we needed to do that now and potentially replace a cool uh chiller that's not quite to the end of its life? Could we do it in stages? How would we want to accomplish the goal of what we want to do? But it's big ticket items like this that we are thinking about currently and how we're going to replace those within the next one to five years. Um again at the high school you see how hallway flooring again same the same issue we had at the um elementary school where the new building butts up against the old facility. Um you see the same thing at the high school. There's parts of it where the flooring is sort of tearing

102away sort of the tiles are breaking. Um roof replacements at the high school. We're at that 20-year place. There's some pretty significant um issues with some roofing already over there above the um above the counseling office. Um we are talking about a significant investment in the media center. Uh Jim already touched on that. We we we've done painting, we've done carpet, um we're putting a stage in there so we can get some short-term use, but what is the long-term goal of that facility? So that would be part of, you know, how are how are we looking at paying for that investment. Uh the parking lot would be the the parking lot that we decided not to do as part of the the larger project. Um that still needs to be completed. And then there's an

103aging PA system over there that would involve a pretty significant investment because the old one would have to be removed and then the new one replaced and the technology is much different than it used to be. So, at the high school, just with those six bullet points, we're looking at $3.3 million. And so, if you look um our athletic facilities, we've done such a a nice job over the last few years continuing to upgrade those, but we've got some pretty significant needs, especially at the football stadium. Um the lights are at end of life and uh we are having a hard time finding replacements for the lights that are there. Um, we've been able to to do it over the last couple of years, but they're they're not making these lights much anymore. So, we're

104all those lights need replaced. It's kind of a you know, if you do one thing, you have to do another to be able to replace all those lights. You're going to have to tear down fencing. Fencing needs to be done anyway. And so, once you start that project, you've got to got to look at it. If you look at the seating in there and the stadium, um it's certainly um seen, you know, a better day. And so we need to look at that. We've got some locker rooms over at the soccer field and concessions that are aging. Um and then we've got a little bit of work at our baseball softball. That turf is almost end of life. Um we have some seating covering that we could put over some of the stands to do

105a little bit better job of protecting um from the sun and occasionally a foul ball that uh comes your way. So we've got some significant athletic facility needs that uh we wanted to make sure we highlighted as well. So, the talking about the turf at the softball baseball complex, um the district has been investing money each year, about $140,000 annually. Um again, when I arrived at the district, there was no plan for the turf. Um since we've put that $140,000 a year uh transfer in place. We've done the football field. We've done the soccer field. Um now it's time to do softball, baseball. So, those are coming up. Um, probably we'll do one this summer. It's probably softball and then we'll move to baseball the following season. >> Yes. Yep. >> And then our facilities

106department does again a tremendous job at their equipment takes a a beating over the year. You know, we do our own salt um you know and and and snow removal here. We don't hire anybody to do that. Our guys do it. their work trucks are filled with all the equipment they need to fix anything around the district. So, we need to continue to look at those uh pieces of equipment. We're looking at potentially getting at a Bobcat. You might remember last year we had a water mane break. Our team could do could fix that quicker. We actually lost a day of instruction to that. Our team could have done that work if they have the right equipment. So, we're we're looking uh we think hopefully we might be able to get something like that in

107auction. Um, so something like that though could c create a savings for us down the road. And our facility department uh is in desperate need of some indoor space, a garage where they could store that equipment. Um, we have a few things over in the transportation department, but they need that bay as well. So those are some facility needs we know that are coming up. So, as we look at transportation, um when we originally talked about doing a two-year bus replacement plan, um when I arrived at the district, we did two bus leases that put five buses in the district at at one time. Uh we did that twice and then while those five-year leases were going on, uh we bought a bus bus each year. So we were essentially paying for two buses a

108year, getting two bus and getting five upfront and getting one bus each year. Um over the last few years because of COVID, because of uh rising inflation on the cost of buses and the inability for buses to for bus companies to deliver, um we are behind on our bus plan. Again, it's not as dire situation as it was 10, 15 years ago, but again, we need to make sure that we're replacing two buses a year. Um, and then we've also we we put some serious thought and planning into bands. Um, there are some drawbacks. We could get a a force. We figure about three to five bands would be perfect for the district. Um, because if we went more than that, we would lack the ability to get drivers for those buses. Um, but there's

109there's is a definite need where vans could replace buses or we could use those to transport students. Um, that would save us money. The two vans that we are currently using for student transportation are getting very old. Um, one is, I believe, 10 years old and the other one is 12 to 13 years old. So, at a certain point, we do realize that those are going to have to be replaced, but they are being very well taken care of by our mechanics down at the bus garage. Um, the dollar amount I put in this one is actually um that's two buses plus a van. So, I did an annualized buses now are about 125,000 per. Um, and that that looks like nothing but going up with inflation over the next five years. So, that's a

110very expensive investment, but very necessary to get our students to and from school and to make sure everybody's safe. So, quickly to summarize what you've heard, we've got a little over $10 million in facility needs that are going to um need to be done over the next five years. And so, um we're we're excited. Again, I think that number would be much higher without our maintenance team doing the work they do, but uh this certainly is a good step. And again, these are estimates, but I think they give us a good picture of what we need to do over the next few years. of that $10 million. How much of that are we putting aside? >> So, at this point, the only thing we really put aside is for that turf replacement. >> Buses, we

111do not put anything aside. It just comes out of the general >> part of the general operating budget. Yes. Um, we did pay for the uh the upgrade at the Sue Harter facility with some donated money from the Harter Foundation. Um, so that was, you know, a good use of those funds. Um, we're always looking for ways to um to be able to supplement the way we're paying for for these these facilities items outside of the general operating budget because as you know the general operating budget is, you know, 75% human resources and that's where that money really needs to be spent. >> Thank Jim and Mick and uh all the teammates for their comprehensive work putting this together. uh takes a lot of time and effort and using FMX which the board supported uh

112the team with a few years ago has been a big help and um just looking ahead as you heard Mick say that's what we're trying to do here uh long term and then put great short-term plans in place and I'm really excited about the short-term operations that we got to share and and how they're going to make our facilities uh look for the use for children and our staff when they return. So, great work and and thanks to Ken and his team. Going to move on if that's okay. Um, we're going to uh move into a legal update uh presentation. And before uh we go through the um slide deck there, which I think Mr. Davis will pull up for me. Do you have Yeah. Um I just want to reiterate um what we're going

113to talk about next is not always really positive. Um and we are still waiting on the state legislature to finish the bienial budget bill. There should be a report out this afternoon at three o'clock and a vote on a floor tomorrow for the omnibus and then the governor would sign the bill if everything finishes on time by July 1. So, some of these things are up in the air, but I'm going to share to you some important updates today and I want to make sure we do this uh with the perspective that this board has always shared. This board has always been an apolitical body and I think intends to remain that way. We heard that said by board members in the past um just recently when we went over some of this stuff. So,

114I want to reiterate that to anybody who might be listening or follow this presentation afterwards. Um, we're here to support all students. There are things that are in this bianial budget bill that we have not seen included in a budget bill in decades in Ohio. Property tax provisions, levy changes, partisan board elections, cash balance formulas, county budget commission authority changes, pension changes, territory transfers. Many of these things should exist in standalone bills in Ohio. Uh, I'm not quite sure why most of them don't at this time. However, you can all draw your own judgment on that. They all impact schools, which is why we have to talk about them. So, I just want to keep that in mind as we go through the deck. Um, I'm not sharing Kirk's political partisan viewpoint. I'm sharing with

115you the facts as we know them and um, as our board members understand them currently. Mick, if you could go through uh, the next slide, please. So the big picture here is there's legislative advocacy going on on our behalf. Uh Mick and I have done this, board members have done this uh at a level I haven't seen in over 30 years in Ohio. Um we know that we have an unconstitutional school funding formula that's impacting all the decision-m that's being made and that has continued and the legal conversations and posturing that have gone on just in the last month quite frankly are really surprising um in a lot of ways. No matter what affiliation you have, um the staffing feedback piece of all of this impacts schools. I just want to point out that no

116matter what happens with the law, our employees have to deal with it. And that means all employees and and those are things that we have been put through this year, the likes of which I've never seen and quite frankly are distressing for employees in a work environment. And um lastly, we'll talk about this at the end, but our board plans have been impacted. Well over six months of time have been lost and that costs us m money and planning time and I think that's very frustrating for for schools. If we could go to the next So, House Bill 96, you've all heard a little bit about the budget impact is coming. We're going to know very soon. The update on the cash balance carryover formula is that it sits at 50% currently. Um public school

117advocates have asked for that to be raised as high as 75%. The fiscal impact is not as significant as we presented uh in April because of the change to the formula from 30% to 50%. However, any change to the formula affects all schools and it doesn't affect them in a uniform way. So, we've been advocating again that this just should not be a part of of the budget. Uh a revenue cap is being talked about based on a one-year uh one year of inflation. Uh I was informed this morning um that this is still alive. And um this is problematic uh again because when you look at one year of inflation uh versus multiple years, school districts have to deal with this in different things at different times. And I'll make you want to say

118anything about that? Just to give a little idea of what this exactly means is um for example, Indian Hill is now at the 20 mil floor. So when we do our re-evaluation um if if the property tax the property valuation our district goes up 20%. We will see a 20% growth in taxes in revenue here in the district. Um what this proposal means is that instead they would look at that one year and instead of giving you the 20% they would look at the value you know pegged to an inflation rate that they find and let's say for example that's 3%. So they would give you 3% growth in that one year. Now if you look at the four the two years leading up to that and the two years following that are all zeros.

119They're they're the traditional method of leving property taxes. So in re reality if you your property t your property valuation can grow leaps and bounds over a period of time but you're going to get 3% for one year whatever they peg to inflation. You know my when when I made the statement last I believe it was last month when we need to look at this and really assess whether this is going to change reform property taxes. They need to look at something more of a of a uniform inflation growth. Instead of saying you get three percent in one year, it should be pegged to inflation each year. >> And again, we're we're waiting on feedback about this. This does not mean it will be in the final bill. However, if it is as it stands,

120it's problematic. Um there are also levy provisions and changes to how levies can be um used as a tool by school boards and literally some removals of some some types of levies that are currently in the language. These things can hamstring school boards with their local communities when they're trying to think about how to collect revenue moving forward. You can go to the next slide there, Mick, please. School district property tax changes. is something that's in the current language. Again, um there there's some problematic stuff here. Uh when it comes to this idea that, you know, levies are passed by local communities and each local community is different. And I just think that um these are things that should be not be part of a bienial budget bill. The the changing of all this language

121at the last minute when we had two years to talk about it, we can go on to the next. There's I put some red circles on a couple of these slides because these things are things that tend to get proposed and whether they end up in law now or not, board members, we really need to watch for these things. So, there's a transportation work group that's been proposed. The idea of this would be that they would study and make recommendations on transporting non-public and private school students to school on days when we're not open. That opens the door to schools spending more money on transportation for people who don't go to public schools. No matter what you think about that politically, this work group has goals. They have pages worth of goals in the current

122legislation. Um these are the things that are door openers for future problems for our budget. You can go to the next >> just real quick that on this, you know, we just talked about the cost of a bus. So, for example, if we needed to get more buses to transport private school students, um, again, stressing our budget, that would be an un an unfunded mandate. So, you know, definitely something for us to be concerned about. >> Uh, contracts for school district construction projects and bids, uh, really just expanding the work that public schools would have to do, uh, and the rules we already have to follow, which are restrictive when we want to build things. the sale of unused school facilities. Again, board members, this is something that may not end up in the final

123legislation, but if it does, there's there are people that are really pounding this right now. Telling a public school district locally what they have to do with their property um is really a new fold we haven't seen uh before and they're trying to tie it to enrollment and to performance in the latest language in the bill, academic performance, which is really uh surprising. We need to really watch what happens with with this uh no matter what public school district you're in. Um community school and online school provisions. There's again this is a door opener here. Language provisions that provide expansion and exemptions for anybody who's not a public school to be treated differently than public schools and evaluated differently than public schools, not just um academically but fiscally. Um these are things we need to

124watch. A new workforce data insights board. Again, this is another door opener. Um we already share so much data with the state of Ohio. What they want to do with this data you can guess. Um, but this is a this is an attempt to use data to uh compare apples to oranges, public private school partisan schoolboard races. Enough said. I don't think we need to say any more about it. It's problematic. And then House Bill 335. Um, this bill alone is trying to they're they're trying to attach this to the bienial budget bill before it passes out of the legislature. There are two pieces here. First is the the elimination of inside millillage. Uh I'll let Mick just remark on that in a minute. You can see the second bullet point here. He'll talk about

125it could be catastrophic. Um the latest update I have is that that this is getting a lot of push back. We think that's great. We're advocating that this is not a part of the budget bill at all and I think no school uh district in Ohio wants to see this. Mick, do you want to just explain what this would lead to? >> Yeah. So, when I first heard that this was being proposed, my assumption was that for districts that were on the 20 mil floor, um your affected tax rates would go back to once you eliminated the inside millage would go back up to the 20 mil floor and then you would begin collecting 20 mills. Um the second bullet point there was just announced on late on Friday and what they're saying with that

126is that they would not adjust back to the 20 mil floor. So what what that means for Indian Hill is that 32% of our millillage is inside millillage. So 6.41 out of 20 mills is what we collect from inside millillage. If we lost that 32% of our revenue, it would mean over $10 million per year. That would that would run us out of carryover within a year and a half. So we we hope that this is not going to be a part of the final bill. If it is, we'll be calling for a meeting this summer. But >> this is the most this is the most, you know, devastating part of the of anything that we've heard for Indian hell. And it's actually come last minute. >> So, you know, it's it's very it's it's

127very troublesome. It's very and it's even again Kirk's talked about opening the door for other things. If this fails now, we're probably going to hear about it again. >> Let's go to the next slide, Mr. Davis. Thank you. >> Yep. >> Unfunded mandates. Again, you've heard this before. You're going to hear it again. I just want to point out quickly whether it's computer science and our pathway that you just saw that we developed here at Indian Hill. No, nobody's ever provided us any money for that. I've advocated in the last three bianial budgets for the state of Ohio to spend more than $1.8 million for 600 districts. They've never changed the budget. They've never increased it. um these they yet they want everybody to learn these things. Um dyslexia assessments are coming down the pike

128for all students. Math acceleration provisions, cell phone law efforts, food services changes that could definitely impact our budget and transportation proposals that could have a strain on our budget. Um all of these are unfunded mandates and um some of them are going to be in the bill this year. If you look at the list, you'll notice none of them have anything really to do with the bannual budget. They all have to do with public school operations um and supporting children. And then finally, this property ownership facility use and sale. I think we just really need to watch that. Um if you go to the next, so I want to talk about the cell phone thing quickly. These are the numbers of infractions our students have at Indian Hill. We've actually had the same policy in

129place they're going to pass into law that the governor's been touting for three years now at Indian Hill. our children behave and we're trying to teach them leadership. These are numbers across an entire school year in our district. I just want to give some perspective. We are not like everybody else in the state of Ohio when it comes to behavior. If you go to the next slide there, Mick, we are going to change our guidelines though because of the law that will pass. This will be a part of the budget. Um our policy is not going to change. Um but instructional time is going to be defined as 8 to 25 moving forward and our guidelines are going to change. We're going to have more stringent consequences in place at the secondary level for children

130uh who bring devices to school and want them out during the school day. But we're going to continue to share the enforcement of this responsibility with our staff, students, and parents as we always have. Um it's just really frustrating that we have to revisit this uh annually because of some um uh short-term media wins. I'm going to go on to the next here. Okay, Parent Square. Um Dr. Stewart had to step out. I apologize, but Oh, there we are. You're back. Okay. Um, we're just going to touch on this briefly, I think, because of time. We've got to get to um some some business, but Melissa, you just want to explain the why of Parent Square. >> Sure. So, really, this starts with accolades for the primary and elementary teachers who do such an incredible

131job communicating with families and really want to show what's happening in the classroom with pictures and videos and newsletters. And because they were doing that, often teachers were using um a product to help them deliver that information. Um and there was no consistency amongst teachers. That was hard for families. One teacher you needed to log into this site, another you had to log into that site. And so we wanted there to be a consistent program that it would make it a lot easier for the parents to be able to gain access to this information. So that's really what parent square will do for us. It'll be it's just at the like classroom level. So all the teachers will be using parent square and there'll be information that will go home on parent information night and

132in newsletters and things like that so parents can be aware of it and that way it'll be like a single sign on like you'll get to have the same way that you can access this information all the way through primary and elementary. We're going to expand that to all athletic coaches and to all club and activity supervisors and adviserss. Thank you, Dr. Stewart. So, alignment in communications, which we've been hearing is the need for some time. Uh, and just to finish this up, um, again, we've already mentioned this board members about the time and money we've lost in waiting on legislation. Uh, enrollment growth is a fact here. Expenditures are a fact here. These are things we're going to have to continue to talk about as we go through the next six months and review

133our financial objectives for 2026 and beyond. We're going to continue to vet early design build ideas for our primary school and we're going to continue to consult with our financial partners on the markets and we'll bring them to you in the fall and we're going to have to talk about future levy mechanisms uh and possible bonding options as we look at that enrollment growth. Um because of time if it's okay I'd like to move to the agenda. So, moving on um to um number seven there in the superintendent report. Um we have a second reading of uh textbook adoption this evening. We did the first reading last month. This is for a comprehensive um language arts review we did this past year. Many of you know about the science of reading law. We need to

134um approve that textbook adoption at this time. Um, want to thank all of our teachers and staff and Dr. Stewart and Whitney Bule and the team who were involved in that throughout the year. Um, we do a comprehensive vetting and compare and contrast to other materials out there and we think we found the best things for our students. Um, moving on to the superintendent report there with number eight. We have our annual slate. >> Kirk, we need to adopt that. >> Oh, we got to adopt that first. Sorry, I was moving too fast there. >> We don't have any. I'll make a motion to adopt article seven the second reading of the textbook adoption. >> So move >> Mr. Tullis. >> Yes. >> Mr. Summer. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Singh. >> Yes. >> Thank you.
