001Um so if you look under consent uh under certified employment that should be number six I believe in consent um have some changes there. Um, under the section there, we had a TBD or TBD determined for Johntown Elementary School inter uh intervention specialist. We're not going to have that position tonight. At this time of the year, we're working through a lot of personnel uh matters and sometimes we're beholden to background checks and other processes. So, we'll just remove that from the agenda tonight. Also, we have two people we want to add tonight. Um, Judith Bennett is here and we'll introduce her to the board um before when we get to consent. up before you vote. And then Jackie Wiggins. They're both um should be on your copy of the agenda that you'll see. And then
002um we also he's not on the agenda, but we want to introduce Jesse Bruntton from um Johnson High School, our new geometry teacher. So you voted for him, approved him last month, but uh we'll ask Mr. Shipton to introduce him when we get the consent agenda. Okay. Um that's it for the personnel. Under treasurer recommendations, we have a few changes. Um, first of all, under donations, we're going to add a donation. Uh, we're adding the Charles and Patricia Kesler scholarship fund, and that'll be for $5,000. That'll be I'm sorry, that's under the treasur section of the agenda. It will be outside of consent. So, it'll start on should be page 13, maybe your document. Mine might be a little different. So, I have it on 11. 11. Sorry. 11. Yep. Page 11. Yeah. So, treasur
003recommendations. And then um mine has notes in it. So pageionate is a little different. Um so under uh donations, we added one because it just came in and it's the Charles and Patricia Kesler scholarship fund. It's for $5,000 and that's two $2,500 scholarships. If you recall, that was a new one that was started last year. And then also we have um a correction to one of the resolutions. So it will be resolution 25-05-099. It's the Woolhole W Woodh Hall agreement. If you look under recommended action, there's a typo there. It shows $38,000 or I'm sorry, $34,800. It should show $3,800 a month. And that's the lease rate. That's for the the standard that we use. Okay. Um, two more changes. If you look at resolution 25-05-017 and 018, I'm going to add the same language
004to both. That's 251 255 117, I'm sorry, and 118. And it's uh transportation deemed impractical. Right there. You're doing a good job. Page 18. Um, yeah, it probably is. You're page 18 and yeah, both on page 18. Um, what I want to change on that is it originally said to approve a resolution declaring impractical the transportation of students as presented for the 2425 school year. We're going to add on to that and add and proof of proper custody a residential address within the Johnstone Maro school district for the 2425 school year. So, I'm going to add that phrase and proof of proper custody and residential address within the Johnston Maro school district for the 2526 school, I'm sorry, 2425 school year and that'll be for resolution 117 and 118. And just the thoughts there is
005uh we have a residency process we go through and we actually have a a tip line and all too. So, there's um some due diligence we want to further conduct on those two resolutions. Um I think those are all the changes. Did you have anything? We covered all this. Yeah. So, would that be for 2526 or it is correct? It is 2425 because it's the school year. Yeah. Okay. No, it is this school year. We always do it at the end of the year. Okay. Yeah. No, that part is correct. You want me to go through any of those again or not? But it's a big agenda. There's 24 pages. have a request to add in the executive session as well for personnel. Okay. Where do we want to add that? I think we can
006add it actually at the end as we're after we go on everything. Because on these share, do you want to do like one uh make resolution 129A then? Yeah. Whatever at the very end. Okay. We're not expected to have an action afterwards. Okay. So, we could do resolution uh 25-05-129A. And that's great. I'll just read that into Okay. Um so that would be for personnel. Personnel correct. Okay. So it'll be the formal one is consideration of the appointment, employment, dismissal, discipline, promotion, demotion or compensation of a public employer official. Correct. Okay. So we'll add that um 1298 near the end. Okay, I think those are all the changes unless there's questions. Any questions, comments? All right. [Applause] So if I can get a motion or you want to go to the resolution to adopt the
007agenda 255094. Yes. I can get a motion. I'll make the motion. Can I get a second? Second. Discussion. Call the role. Please. Mr. Benson. Yes. Mrs. Ber. Yes. Mrs. Davis? Yes. Mr. Swagger? Yes. Mrs. Thomas? Yes. Any uh remarks by the public? Okay. Thank you. Move on to presentation. Okay. Um well, I guess we'll start with uh the obvious here. So this is uh Charlie Chapman. She's sitting next to me and we have a full day scheduled together on Friday, but the way our our cycle works with board meetings, we thought we'd have her here so she could um be a part of the the festivities tonight. So um as part of the PTO, we offered a superintendent for a day um option or opportunity and Charlie is going to meet with some city officials
008and some other municipalities. We'll probably look at the fire department and we'll spend a little bit of time. We have uh transportation helping us out on Friday and then we're going to try and eat lunch together and maybe we'll go see your brother kind of show off a little bit, right? And the middle school, sixth grade, you know, do that later on. So, um but happy to have her here and I just think it's um really um emblematic to see the partnership we have the PTO and families and all too. So, I think mom and dad are here and Charlie, you want to say anything or tell us a little bit about yourself? You'll have to speak up because the microphone's there, but you have a brother. Yeah. Okay. Can you tell them about um
009He's in sixth grade, right? Yeah. Yeah. And you're in fourth grade, correct? Okay, good. So, um anything you want to tell us about fourth grade? That's exciting. Or who's your teacher? My teacher is Miss Cartwright. Oh, yeah. Right. Mrs. Car, right? Yeah. Her. We know her. Yeah, we know her. Yeah, that's good. And then uh fifth grade next year, are you thinking about camp? Yeah. Yeah. Excited about it? Yeah. What what have you heard about camp? Um that it's fun. It's fun. Okay, good. This year it rained a lot, so I don't I wouldn't listen to people because they were really wet this year. So, but I still think they had fun. So, that'll be good. Yeah. Anything else you want to share? No. Okay. Well, we'll have a fun day on Friday anyway. So,
010we'll we'll spend some time and we'll go uh meet with some of the people in the community. Like I said, most um it's going to be a long day for you. Dr. for Wagner starts at like 5:00 a.m. and usually doesn't get home till like 900 p.m. So, it's not a snow day. See, they'll start at 4:30, but I won't call you that early break. Yeah, that's right. That's the first order of business. We're not having the board of education. They keep me busy. So, anything else you want to share? Who are your mom and dad? You want to [Music] um just pick two people. Tell tell us what their names are. Uh Nick and Amanda. Nick and Amanda. Okay. Well, that's I want to know if she's always this quiet. I figured not. But
011this is a big audience. But yeah, and I told her that we uh record all this, so we'll send you the link and you'll be able to see yourself and hear yourself. And um a nice memory, huh? Um Mr. Mr. Swagger, I have um a little bit I know we're kind of early in process, but here's a certificate that you and some of the board members can present. And then we also have a banner. Maybe you could present that to Charlie and then get some pictures if that's okay. Maybe could stand up back here and why don't you start with a certificate. Mr. Swagger is our board president. So So we have a certificate for you recognizing today uh as the superintendent for a day signed by the board members here and Dr. Wagner. So
012congratulations and thank you. Turn around. Sure. Members, maybe we could have you all stand up here and we'll get um we have a certificate. Yep. And we've also got You know what? Let's come over here. So that light bleeds in the background. So you guys come on over here. Charlie, why don't you? Nope. Go ahead. We'll get you kind of squeezed in. We're missing the treasure. Make sure you hold it down low so you cover your face. Cover your face. Yeah. No cover your face. That would be bad, right? Do we need to move the chairs? Is it straight? No. It's up high. Look up here. Okay. There we go. One more. Got it. Okay. Very good. So, this is yours. How cool is that? You got it already. You going to hang that in
013your room to all your friends. So, I'll give you another update after Friday and kind of excited. There you go. I think there's some some rubber bands for that. She's got to get her LinkedIn updated. Give this to your mom and dad, too. Okay. But I'll give you an update after Friday, and I'm sure you'll see. We We're not going to publish anything on social media until um after Friday, so we have get everything. So, that's yours. There you go. Our high school made that, by the way. Good. Oh, how nice. Exciting. You ready for the next presentation? Okay. Um couple financial issues tonight and u Mrs. We'll talk about it, but you're going to have the five-year forecast to um look at and then um also want to talk about building projects as well,
014too. So, we have a transfer coming up. So, do you want to talk a little bit and I'll jump in where needed? Sure. Um, for the benefit of our community, we just wanted to revisit the evolution of our capital planning that you might recall back in July of 23, the board office moved to the um 85 West Douglas and we're now sharing with the intermediate school and began plans to demolish the old house and um plans for the addition on the high school. that continued with the strategic uh planning committee and buildings and grounds that hard work brought a GMP to the board and community in December of 24 that we approved. And as we engaged in that process, we learned about some economies of scale that exist when these contractors are already on site.
015And there were opportunities that allowed us to kind of expand the scope of our strategic planning. And the projects that we've worked on have um moved from four projects to six projects that will be funded by our capital projects fund with no additional cost to taxpayers. Um those six projects include the high school edition, the um purchase of this lovely um facility that we will maybe use here in the future as a board office. um improvements to our PAC in the forms of seating, a multi-purpose building that will be constructed adjacent to this building. Um also the expansion, we have the opportunity to look at our West athletic campus and North Athletic Campus and make improvements to those. So, we just wanted to revisit that because we are um looking to pay for these from
016our capital projects fund and later the board will have on the treasur's recommendation a request to transfer 4 and a.5 million to continue the funding of these projects in the future. Would you like to add anything? No. um except that you said everything is this is all within our planning and if you recall we started this um back in the late fall of 2023 actually and then we published our first RFQ back in March of 24 and then uh April of 25 was the RFP after that. So, this is all part of our larger process and I think it's, you know, I um been asked about, you know, how this capital planning fits in with our overall budgeting and the good news is we've planned for it. You know, as I said, there's been some
017time. So, we're doing fine. You know, I guess if if you had to look at it like we're solvent as a school district, we can handle this, but you know, we're still very fiscally conservative and I think we're good where we are. Um, I always tell people they ask about any of these building projects. The board made a commitment years ago to try and not go back to the taxpayers and ask for new money. So, we've been using our existing funds to the best of our ability. So, I feel good about where we are and um really all the time we spend as a finance committee as well as the entire board just working on um you know strategic planning, capital projects as part of that and the financials as well. Happy to answer any
018questions from the board. The high school edition looks very nice. I had a chance to look at it and I'm just fascinated how fast it's going up and I sent you guys an update on Friday if you see but they're actually um the roof sheathing is going on and you know so everything's coming together. They're um in schematic design for the building to go next. So this will be the next project here is right next door and and working on that. So they're get they're through schematic design and then we looking at all the other projects. Um, one of the things that you'll see and we just published this on Sunday officially is because there's um been some variations in our project as Mrs. Drum said we were expecting to build a board office and
019then we bought this and you know we didn't put the lean two on the building because of space but yet we bought you know this building and we're using the back. So there's some variation. So because of that, we published a request for qualifications that went into Sunday's paper, and that'll be to cover some of the projects that have um been modified through this process. So that'll cover the um what we're kind of calling the West Campus now, but that'll be baseball, softball, band concessions. So we're looking at all that drainage of course included with that. Um and uh you know, restrooms and all. And then we're also looking at the north campus and how we're gonna work on that campus a little bit too. So qualifications are published and then I actually um have
020received probably about eight emails today and we'll have a formal response to those qualifications. So those are companies that are potentially interested in our school district and then from there following that then we'll put requests for proposals out after that too. But happy to answer any questions the board has. I think you're very involved with all this, but I think it's good to just review things and the forecast you'll see tonight is all this is all included in there. So, yeah. Would you like me to speak to the forecast now since we're talking about funding or wait for that? Just a few highlights. Go ahead. We're all Go for it. Well, we've spent a lot of time as a finance committee, a board and administration looking at the state budget proposal and you know trying
021to finalize the forecast. What it shows us is current year revenue is exceeding our projections modestly. We do have um lean but positive cash balances throughout the forecast that show that we have you know financial stability through the five years of our forecast. And this stability really is to the credit of the board and its proactive approach to strategic planning in um dedicating resources for future facility growth. It's also shows, you know, honoring the commitment to the community to at least partially, you know, fund construction of new facilities without new money. The forecast also reveals some declining revenue in 2029 when our income tax expires. So, we would um be modeling the renewal of that. Outside of that, I think we're just continuing to watch and monitor legislative action so that we can just stay
022nimble and absorb and adjust whatever financial pressures come our way from that legislative action. But we are positioned nicely to adjust and and change as may be needed. Sounds good. Thank you very much. Any questions, comments? I think you know we remain fiscally conservative and that's the thing that we need to remain fiscally conservative so we can remain fiscally solvent. So well said. I appreciate that. All right, moving on to uh board committees. Yeah. So, our first one we have is buildings, grounds, and safety. And uh buildings, grounds, and safety met on April 24th. Uh the buildings and grounds did meet on April 24th, and at that time, we interviewed three vendors for our cleaning contract. Um, we've had some issues with keeping the schools as clean as we would like, but we're also monitoring
023that to be sure that as we enter into the next contract with whomever that may be that we're going to get some really great cleaning and great people and so forth. So, um, it took really the entire most of the meeting to just talk to the different vendors and interview and see their strengths and we weaknesses. The new technology that's available to monitor cleaning services is pretty fantastic. It's always, you know, we are growing into a very different age as we uh move along and it was just interesting to see what kind of tools we can use to monitor the strength of the cleaning contract. So excited about that. The other uh issue on for the committee at that time was the maintenance department. We looked at structure and what we'd like to see from
024that group uh in the next year and um it will be voted on. We're not we're not we don't have all those recommendations yet, but we're certainly working on it. So Ann, I think you were there too. So what did you see or anything that you want to bring up at this point? I second what you said and um I think we did have some discussion with Harvard while they were in. they were one of the three that came in to see us um to discuss current issues that we're experiencing. So if you are in those buildings and you've um reported items, those were addressed in there. Dr. Wagner addressed some issues with them as well as Mr. Boozenberg and Mr. Jenny. So we'd like to hold him to getting better and being fully a
025force of custodia. Thank you. That's good. It was a long meeting. Later tonight, you have a there's a resolution to um give us authority to start negotiating a contract with one of those companies. Not done yet, but as you said, Mrs. Bur, we'll if that is successful, then we'll bring you know, another resolution back to the board. Great. Okay. And then um we also had policy that met on April 21st. Yes. Um we reviewed 11 policies during that Derrick's looking at me. Please make sure I get this right. We reviewed 11 policies during that time. I believe they're all from the Neil update still. We're making our way through um a variety of policies, health and well um fee, graduation requirements, some updates to college credit plus, just a variety of stuff. So, they're all
026on the agenda for first reading. Thank you. We have three other committees scheduled later this week, it looks like. Yeah. In fact, um remind me to talk to um Mrs. Booer and Mr. Benton about finance because I want to check your schedules to make sure you're good. We tendly have a meeting on um the 19th. Be off Monday. Yeah. So, you want to have it before the board meeting. Is that what I just was looking? Next Monday. We Monday. Yeah. Yeah. 19th. Did you see the invitation for it? I'm good. On the 19th. Okay. Did you invitation for the Okay. And you'll be here on the 20th. Yeah. Um Mrs. Low, what time did you have for the financing? But see, we got both here. Technology, so it's good. We do both. No pressure. Okay.
027Let me ask you this. Do you have 3 p.m. I believe so. We have a five o'clock board session, right? Which five? So on what day? The 19. Yes, the 19th. work. Three. Three. Do we have a We already sent something out, didn't we? Didn't Debbie already send something out? Yeah, but I don't think we got confirmation. Okay. Yes. 3:00. Yeah, she already sent it out. Good. Snacks. We're going to be here while Okay. So, we'll do finance 3:00 on Friday or I'm sorry, the 19th. Be here for six hours to bring dinner. So, you're bringing dinner. So, the second group coming in needs to bring dinner. Is that what you're saying? Is that what you said, Tim? Tim's on the record. Then I would just like to add one thing about curriculum. We didn't
028have a meeting. Um, but I talked with Dr. Wagner and Mrs. Cyel on Friday by phone and you'll see in um in our agenda that we have a a proposal for HMH. Um, I wanted to just say that if you looked at it, the waggle that's included in there, and I I said that I would address this part to the board members, but um that's for six through eight. It replaces I ready. That's why there's so many licenses. That's um each student would have its own license. And it would be like Alex that we use in math. So um if you had questions on that, I'm not sure. I know I wasn't as clear on that. I wanted to just make sure everybody else had seen that too. Thank you. Next is LPDC. All right.
029Excellent. Okay. So, I'll report on LPDC. Um, the team met on May 6th and we had Stephanie Stoie, Laura Curts, uh, Renee Britain, Annette Price, Derek Bloozenberg, and Brad Worman were in attendance. Um, they looked at individual professional development plans. They approved two, they modified one, and they returned three others for modification. There were some people who had to um, submit their individual professional development plans. Here's one of them. So, I got to look it over. It's the treasures one. Um, mine was also approved from uh we have to participate like everyone else. Um, then there was some other um staff. I won't read all the details in here, but they did go through and look at uh the individual professional development plans. Um, we also had license renewals. So, there were six staff who
030qualified for that and the committee approved. Um, they also approved contact hours for staff. And then, um, we spent some time and Mrs. Schaefer, there she is. Um, Mrs. Schaefer and I went into the LPDC from the union president position as well as administration and just talked through a couple issues. We have that House Bill 8 that's uh coming online in July. So, we wanted to make sure that we're already looking forward and uh making sure we comply. So, there's some uh things we're looking at when it comes to course descriptions, trying to understand uh what courses uh with more details. We're asking for course descriptions um to make sure we have that in front of the committee and uh for the administration as well and then also looking at the composition of the LPDC
031local professional development committee members and who's attending and one of the things that came out of that was making sure we have substitutes because we know people get you know pulled in different directions but there's a minimum or quorum that's required we want to make sure we're meeting that as well as there's a maximum so we had a good discussion there and I think it was a end of the near end of the year review. So, um, all very successful and some work to do there that we'll follow up on. And then our next meeting will be June 10th and that'll be at noon at the board office. And I'm supposed to say that's a a date change if anybody was looking at the original date, but that's only for the LPDC members. And that's
032all for LPDC. Excellent. Thank you. Moving on to consent. Okay. Okay. So, resolution 25-05-095 is the consent agenda and I'll start with resignations. Um, we have multiples there and I'll go through and I'll talk about that in a minute if you want. Um, I guess I should do it first and second right before I start talking. So, yeah, we can get a motion. I'll make the motion and a second. I'll second it. So we start with resignations and I like to talk about that. We have employment uh certified employment. So um when people are at the end of contracts we have to bring them up for renewal. So you'll see that uh classified employment there supplemental some information about that I guess Mr. um or you probably want me to go through in detail on
033some of this right. So I just work through needed. Yeah. Okay. I'll start again. Sorry. So resignations will start. Um, we have some staff resigning and um, always hate to see that. Um, some people have been here relatively short period. I do want to con call out Jim Major though. She's been here for 18 years, so she's leaving us. She started in the um, 2007 school year and started in title one and then um, has been a fifth grade teacher most recently. So, she's leaving us. Jeff Ring started way back in 1999 and he recently tried to uh, kind of semi-retire. We I guess we kind of let him do that, but he's actually going to be officially done as some other requirements. And then uh some others there who are retiring and resigning, I'm
034sorry. And and I won't go through everyone in detail, but um wanted to call out at least those two. Um Ministry of Employment, we have our Mr. Booenberg for three-year contract. And then our school psychologist by procedurally considered administrators as well. Um next we have certified employment. As I started to say before, you know, people at the end of contracts, so they're all listed. Classified employment, similar supplemental employment. Um, one I wanted to call out was the JV girls basketball coach because last year we had talked about our numbers were low and uh we wanted to make sure that we watched that. We kept the program or kept the supplemental there trying to build the program. Uh got some information from Mr. Gant who may not be here anymore. Um but we have 18 people
035now for next year. So we have uh 10 for um varsity and eight for uh JV for next year. So our numbers have come up a bit. So we're recommending continuing that um supplemental but again this is uh this year we have enough students for it. Um pupil activity employment listed there. um Sherry Summers for our um English learners and she does an abbreviated schedule but helps. Um some extended days for some of our staff who work outside the normal teaching uh schedule. You can see it there. Uh food services substitute. Sorry, this is a long section. Uh volunteers. We always appreciate our volunteers. So they're listed there by name and then by school. Uh we then have the um then now certificates for Laca. Um we don't typically like to do things retroactively but
036that was because of some um scheduling so we actually got their um we had to pay for their work before we were able to bring it to the board. Um next one we have up to 10 extended days for lack of for EMIS later in in the you'll see it tonight that we have EMIS coordinator for the board to approve and if approved we also want to have certain transition time so we put up to 10 days with lack for that uh in the agenda we have our nursing contract licking memorial health systems um board meeting minutes and then the finance report covered everything you can big section again sorry that said time of the year so any questions or anything I can answer about consent I'm going to apologize but I am not able

Okay. I apologize. That's okay. Um because I know that messes everything up in the if I can get a motion to remove L from the consent agenda. Motion. I'm sorry, Tim. I'll move to to remove the uh from the agenda. Actually, what you have to do is have to have a motion. Well, no, you have to have a motion to amend the agenda first of all. So, so let's make that um resolution. Do I have a second? I'll make the motion to
038amend and I'll second it. Hold on one second. Let's catch up here. Um, okay. So, I missed. Sorry. Get there. Okay. So, we'll have res.

Look him up with Mr. Archeald. uh a golf coach and they're always looking for and there may be vacancies there. So, uh anything we can anytime we can get our teachers in extracurriculars in in any way. I always think it's advantageous to us as a school district because you know the kids, you learn the kids and you carry that after school. Not that we don't appreciate all the non-eing coaches, but it certainly is a benefit when you've got a teacher in the hallway that can yell at you, you know, when you hold you accountable. Wow.

Um, this is I know it looks like a large purchase with 460,000 or just over 4 almost $461,000. It is, but um what we did and this goes back to our earlier discussion about you know budgeting and capital planning. All this will put us onto one platform.
065So one system throughout the district. Right now we have two different systems and you know some of the buildings are on one and some are on the other. This also fits in with our refresh policy. So actually we're just refreshing a little early, but again it unifies. So it's not uh really cost us more money. It's just how it's collapsed into one school year. So that's why we're bringing that forward to the board and the technology team worked closely on this and and again we're happy to have one unified system and this did we refresh my memory add Cornell school into this as well? We will. We don't have that yet. When that's finalized we'll have cameras over there. But we'll have u our camera stuff over. What we're looking at is um when the
066new building is next door here, most likely that'll be the head end of our next branch. And then uh from there eventually that'll feed this building and then it'll also feed Cornell um temporarily with the back side of the building. We're going to manage that separately. More of a residential setup. But the head end will be here and like I guess it'll truncate off and it'll go too. And then this also has more of the vape detectors built into this. Vape detectors are in here and that'll cover us. We've been piloting that this year and that's gone well. Um so at the high school so that'll cover us at the middle school and high school. And then uh the other thing is doors door controls. So some of that will apply to our um additional
067uh facilities as well. So that'll be the back of this building what we're using for athletics. That was the former leanto portion that we referenced and then also it'll be the door next door or the eventual building next door and also um for Cornell. By the way, just to throw it in, we'll also have all HBAC controls too that include Cornell as well too. We'll have be able to control everything in the environment. We'll put it online as one of our schools. Sound good. Any other questions, comments? Call the role, please. Mrs. Thomas, yes. Mrs. Ber, yes. Mr. Benton, yes. Mrs. Davis, yes. Mr. Swagger, yes. Resolution 25-05-105 is maps testing. Can I get a motion? A motion. I'll second. Um, curriculum committee's looked at this. I know this is Thomas talked a little bit
068about some curriculum committee initiatives, but this will um get us lined up for the next year for our testing process, and that's grades K through 12. Any questions, comments? Call for Mrs. Davis? Yes. Mrs. Thomas? Yes. Mr. Swagger? Yes. Mrs. Ber? Yes. Mr. Benton? Yes. I did have a quick question. Uh, Mrs. Wagner, does that replace the maps? Does that replace the K or do we still do the separate? Okay, that's what I thought. Yeah, that's required. I wasn't sure if it replaced it or got it. Yeah. Okay. Um, resolution 25-05-106, custodial services. Get a motion. Make a motion. And a second. second. Um, I know we talked about it a bit tonight, but this will allow us the ability to negotiate a contract and then if everything comes together, we'll bring that back to
069the board. But this would be a a change in our current provider. And as Mrs. Booer said, we spent a lot of time in buildings and grounds looking at different providers. So good. All the RO. Mrs. Thomas, yes. Mrs. Ber, yes. Mr. Benton, yes. Mrs. Davis. Yes. Mr. Swagger. Yes. Resolution 25-05-107 is Engle Language arts curriculum and that's grades 6 through 12. I get a motion. A motion. I'll second. This is for H. As um Mrs. Thomas talked earlier and I know at our last work session, we got to hear from the some of the staff, administrators and staff. So, it's a lot of money, but again, this you know is comparable with what we spend in some other areas. when you look at the portioning of it and all too, but um really happy
070the board's supporting a curriculum and we're really looking at vertical alignment and then all the work that the team does every day to make sure we're vertically aligned from K through 12 when this was overwhelmingly preferred by the uh staff at that uh presentation. So, y more than happy to vote on this. I would like to thank the staff that participated in the committee for the 6 through 12. um their feedback was invaluable and the review time which is on on top of their regular daily um teaching. Um so we appreciate that. We appreciate that they came to the meeting and gave us some feedback and the interaction at the work session was great because they were able to provide us some details that we don't we don't really see or um hear about. So,
071it was informative for the board. I was just going to add that um they were extremely thorough, the staff, but um they were also extremely excited and I hope that the teachers who were able to be a part of that and to kind of um look online, look at the actual uh material that they can maybe serve as ambassadors or spreading the spirit and excitement because I know that it can probably feel really daunting taking on new curriculum, especially teachers who've had new stuff year after year. Um, but there really was excitement and I seen was there really was and it's pretty cool. Yeah, it was exciting that they can still continue with the books that they love. Um, several of the teachers uh do books uh do a book, whatever they call it, a
072book study. Um, a book study in in a semester and they can still incorporate that and use all databases with age and age. So, that was good. And we put it not to exceed it's almost 185,000 on that. Um, we're still working with the publisher to see if there's any reductions, but at least that'll be the We've already had a couple reductions, but we know it won't be any more than that that money. So, or that amount. Call the RO, please. Mrs. Thomas, yes. Mrs. Davis, yes. Mr. Swagger, yes. Mrs. Ber, yes. Mr. Benson, yes. Resolution 25-05-108 is approval of Wilson Foundations and just words materials. If I can get a motion. A motion. I'll second. Similar to other, you know, curriculum instruction initiatives. This is the recommended for our screen. Familiar with these? Yep.
073Yeah. At this point, any questions? Call the role, please. Mrs. Davis, yes. Mrs. Thomas, yes. Mr. Swalker, yes. Mrs. Yes. Mr. Benson. Yes. Position 25-05-109 is creation of a teacher on special assignment. Can I get a motion? A motion. I'll second. Um, as we think about curriculum instruction for the upcoming school year, this would allow us a lot of initiatives we have. Uh, this would allow us to assign one of our teachers to work in curriculum instruction along with Mrs. disciple especially as we are thinking about the future and some of our strategic planning moving forward. I'll say that any questions, comments roll, please. Mrs. Thomas, yes. Mrs. Davis, yes. Mr. Benton, yes. Mrs. Ber, yes. Mr. Swagger, yes. Resolution 25-05-110 is a title modification. And a motion. A motion. And a second. Second. This
074is for Mrs. Grace Wagner. She's been considered coordinator of student services for some time and all we want to do is change her title to director. That keeps it in line with other positions in the district. Larger though, um, you know, we're talking about the future and this coming year we'll be studying and the role and function of of student services. We actually are looking at some things in gifted, for example. So, I might be coming to you at some point with a greater study to see if there's some areas we I want to add under student services or expand. Like I said, maybe I'm gifted. We're looking at that. So, that'll be part of one of our study initiatives for the upcoming school year. Any questions, comments? All the role. Mrs. Thomas, yes. Mrs.
075Ber, yes. Mr. Swagger, yes. Mr. Benton, yes. Mrs. Davis, yes. I was the second. You're not bored yet? Because I'm no biggie. Excuse me. Uh 25-05-11 is creation of a maintenance supplemental. It's out of classification extended responsibility. Can I get a motion? I'll motion. And a second. I'll second. Um as you know, the board approved Mr. Jenny's our facilities manager uh retirement at the end of June. So, we're looking at some restructuring. Uh, Mr. Booenberg's going to be helping with some expanded leadership within operations. And then what we thought we would uh try for a period of time is to add a supplemental. Won't change the base pay, but if one of our maintenance uh staff are qualified, we would add a supplemental and have uh that person do some additional work. We want to
076specifically look at workflow um how we're managing the workflow, schedules, and all. There would not be a supervisory responsibility within this. It'll be just looking at the operations within maintenance, but Mr. Boozenberg will be the one um over top of all the maintenance requirements. This person would assist with that process. Any questions, comments? Call the role, please. Mrs. Thomas, yes. Mr. Swagger, excuse me. Mrs. Davis, yes. And Mr. Swagger. Yes. Thank you. Mrs. Ber, yes. Mr. Benton, yes. You threw me because I didn't think I motioned. Maybe I did. Resolution resolution 25-05-112 or extended days for Cpek employee. Can I have a motion? A motion and a second. A second.

So, Mr. How is going to offer to do that. We put up to five days and we'll see what we can do with that area and give an update to the board afterwards. Any questions, comments? Call the RO. Mrs. Thomas, yes. Mrs. Davis, yes. Mr. Swagger, yes. Mrs. Ber, yes. Mr. Benson, yes. Position 25-05-113 are extended days to move the JHS media center. Can I get a motion? A motion. Second. Second. Uh, this is up to three days from Mrs. Alicia Dodie and uh, as you know, our circulation has changed. Not quite as uh, large as it was at the
078media center and our steam programs are growing. So, what we're looking to do is move the media center portion out of its current location. We'll recapture that for clean steam, which we already have some of that. And then we'll move to another room. And um Mrs. Dodie, as our media specialist, offered to help in that. So, look to up to three days this summer to get that done. That'll be part of what the building addition and reorganizing. Building call the role, please. Mrs. Thomas, yes. Mrs. Bart, yes.

090Yes. Mr. Swagger? Yes. Board comments. Any board comments? I just wanted one thing I did see uh I as you know I helped volunteer uh for baseball and we went out to uh Newark Catholic and uh we won which is always nice. But more importantly, after the game, our uh baseball team cleaned up the entire dugout, which was theirs, but they cleaned up trash that was down the right field line, which was not theirs. They cleaned up trash that was behind the dugout that was not theirs. So, I do appreciate when our student athletes leave play. All of our coaches say it in every sport, leave it better than we found it. But, it's always nice to see them actually do it when no one had to say it. They just went out and did
091it. It is a fact of life for our kids. And I want to point out that we do an excellent job. The coaches do. I was just standing at first base not doing a whole lot in my volunteer aspect and the game ended and they just went and started cleaning without even being told. They know the expectation. So I do want to point out that I appreciate that and quite honestly I'd like to see parents hold theirelves to that same expectation when they leave our football games in the evening sometimes. Uh but but our students do an excellent job really in all sports of they just leave it better than they found it and I'd implore everybody to leave it better than you find it. So I do appreciate that. Over to you. Okay. Uh
092a couple things real quick. We had staff appreciation week. Um I'm sure you saw the social media post. Uh the PTO and I can't say enough fabulous. I mean they spoiled everyone so much that you know every day it was something new. They actually have some pullovers tomorrow. Um I think we'll have everyone in the office. We'll get a picture, but some of the buildings had it though, too. But just tremendous job by the PTO. It's just Yeah, thank you to the board because you some nice things for the staff as well too. We had some cheap cakes for some comments. So, we appreciate it. But the PTO spoiled everybody. It was really hard to really outdid us. But that's even with your sheet cake, they still have Well, she's great. But, you know, and
093the food, I mean, I think we're all going to be looking at next diets or something like I think it was so much going on there. There's still plenty there. Um, so we certainly appreciate that. But, um, really, it's just, you know, it just speaks to the community and, you know, how we're celebrated and certainly, wait, what are we doing? We would like to thank everyone for all of the support for teacher appreciation week. It truly was appreciated. Okay. I didn't know if you were like raising your hand on the diet thing because I'm like, "Yeah, I'm there, too." But now I see they wanted to say something. So, sorry. Yeah. No, that's that's good stuff. I was going to give a shout out. Uh, while it is a club sport, the Johnstown Lacrosse Middle
094School boys were state champs over the weekend. Many games. So, yes. And it's only our second year. So I just they definitely deserve the sent that to me today. So yeah. Excellent. Try to recognize that. We're gonna have them at the next meeting maybe or Yeah. No, that's so maybe Ja is going to do something we can piggy back off of. They're part of JA, aren't they? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay. We'll follow. I wasn't sure how that works with We were talking about that today because we didn't want to supersede JA. We kind of got a post ready, but then we sure we follow their their lead on that. So, um, but anyways, back to staff appreciation week. Um, also we had school lunch heroes. We had uh school bus drivers and school nurses
095we recognized. So, a lot of celebrations all the way around. But I guess the bottom line is we can't do this without all of us as a professional family. So, we appreciate it. Um, global scholars. Um, I know you saw a little bit about that, but boy, I'm telling you, our for a smaller school district, you know, we're a little competitive. We look, we had a lot of kids there and just the breath of work and appreciate the the board support of that. This is our third year with the program. Uh, was Mr. Boozenberg's last year and Mr. Shipton picked up the baton this year and just wonderful to expand the opportunities for our students. So, tremendous. Um, so we have a lot of celebration there. I know you've seen some of it. Um, you
096know, we had our representative Kevin Miller come for Ohio District 69. He was here on April 28th. Um, Mrs. Drum was talking about school funding a bit and uh really do appreciate u that he spent like two hours and 15 minutes with us. Mrs. floor was able to join us um kind of quick notice and everything but just when your public officials come and they they he was very impressed with what we're doing at the high school and get to see the career tech programs which were shipped walked us around and uh the two programs we we have right now with electrical trades and multiskll but also then the health sciences coming as part of the addition but then we spent equal amount of time on school funding so just I don't know that I've

Um and then other than that, we're just working on staffing uh for the coming year. You've seen some of that tonight, but uh you know, that's a pretty much a full-time job. Mr. Wman's been helping uh run point on that. So, we appreciate that in addition to his principal responsibilities at GIS. And then, um we talked about graduation. I don't have to repeat it, although it is exciting. I think that's And you ordered the same weather from last year for this year, correct? Well, we're watching we're watching.

098like that was a we had Mr. Sniderman like speeding up on those names. Turned out nice. It did. It did. Finally, I want to thank the snow year. Yeah, that's right. I wasn't here for that. I want to thank Charlie for being here. Um your parents and all too. And we'll have more to do on on Friday. But trooper, she's tracking along here with us and uh keeping up. So we'll spend some time on Friday. Like I said, we'll publish this after that and it'll be much more exciting than this and much more. So, plus we're going to go see your brother. And you're going to have lunch, right? We'll do lunch. Yeah. We haven't decided what we're doing there. Meet some public officials. So, all good stuff. Excellent. But thanks for being here. And
