So, I think that brings us to item five, uh, the public comment section
002of the board of education. I think to us today, is that Michael? Thank you. Um, we just want to remind you, Mrs. Clark, that there's three minutes public. Thank you. Good evening. Um, I wanted to take time to share my recent experience with the Kitten City School District. Last year, our son, who has autism, attended Makic Learning Center and had the most successful school year he's had in five years. He's in fifth grade this year. Um, we were very much looking forward to the school, his second school year in the program and watching him to continue learning and growing. Last year, he almost made up for all of his academic losses in the years past and he actually made it to the last day of school without having to be suspended. So, he did very,
003very well. He got all A's and B's, one B minus. Over the summer, we were notified that Kenton City Schools was planning to go a different direction with their alternative place students and enroll them in a program that's housed right here in Kenton. We spent most of our summer trying to get information about what was what um it was going to give our son if it was going to give our son the same level of support that he received at Makachic. To this day, we still haven't been able to receive the answers to those questions. and we feel that we've been forced to send our son to a program that we aren't sure that we can trust to take care of him to provide for his education. Um, we kept our son out of school
004for the first however many days and then on Friday I was hit with truency because um he wasn't going to school and um I'm also an educator. My children have not missed more than one or two days since they've been adopted and now we have a truency record. Of course, our hope is that the district will consider re-entering a contract with the Madison Champagne County ESC so that mac and can be an option again. We just wanted what's best for our son and we don't see we don't want to see him losing a lack a year of academic and behavioral progress while we wait for this new program to figure things out. Um we have seen many red flags and feel like it's probably not the best pace for Kase. Um I would like to
005thank you for your time. Thank you. Okay. Um item number six is reports the treasure. We are going to given all of your year. We're having to approve the five-year earlier because of the new House bill. um they all have to be filed first by um October 15th. So, we're doing this today to meet that requirement. Next year, it'll be even sooner than that. It'll be August 31st for the first one and the second one will be by the end of February, the second one. Of course, you can always update after that. Um but those are going to be the two new required dates. With that said, um, just looking at the five-year itself again, like I always do, I give you guys more of a quick and dirty highlights, but then there's also the
006very lengthy notes that will be submitted to the state along with the forecast itself. The forecast is now being called the budget and three-year forecast instead of fiveyear, but you will still see a five-year presented to you. With that said, um got three years of history, five years of prediction. You'll scroll down just a little bit. Okay, so as always, let's go to 6.01. That's the magic of are we over or under when we're taking in revenues and up through the whole entire forecast until the very end in fiscal year 30. We are not deficit spending. We're sitting in a very good spot. If you scroll down to the end then for our cash balance. Everybody wants to see those that bottom line dollar. So we ended at 5.7 million and we would have had
007more but we remember uh you remember we transferred out money into our O3 fund and about 4.75 million into our 070 fund and the 070 fund we have 10 years to spend that money. If we don't you can move it back to the general fund. So that's why you're seeing a big difference from the previous year to this past year in cash balance. We're looking at almost a $6.6 6 million cash carryover for the end of this fiscal year. Um these years then right here do not have any in salaries except for step. So once we negotiate those will be more hardcore numbers be which will become this spring. We'll be negotiating with both unions and we'll have more of an idea of where we sit with that. Um, we also have, if you want
008to scroll, just go into the expenses line 3.01. Okay. So, here's all the expenses. This is what I was talking about here. So any of these salaries right here just include a step does not include where we're going to um end when we negotiate as a percentage. Um retirement benefits again those will be adjusted and inflated a little bit once we know where we negotiate with our unions as well. Um we've taken zeros in our insurance for the last couple fiscal years. we will probably see some kind of increase come this next July because we are going to um string or um make the pot a little bit sweeter for some of our employees and this was a consortium um decision. So, we'll have a little bit more knowledge of that once 18 months roll
009into that. It'll start we'll start changing that January 1st of this next year. And it takes about a good 18 months to see exactly how that rolls out. But we will have to probably give a little bit on something when our underwriters look at us come this spring and they probably will give us a little bit of an increase. What that'll be, I'm not sure. It could be two, it could be four. I don't foresee anything too drastic on it. 1.035. Again, that's um I'm sorry. Yeah, going to the revenues. That's our unrestricted money. Um we're going to see a little bit of an increase on that because we are in the fifth year of the phase in. Even though they didn't give us anything more than that, we still are in a phase in.
010Um so we went from uh 67.7% phase in to an 83.3% phase in. We are on the formula, which means every kid counts for us. Uh let's go to go to the PowerPoint for me because then I'll show you a graph. I know sometimes when you look at graphs those mean a little bit more something to you. So if you go to um number seven. Yep. So state funding we get 60% of our f uh funding from the states and obviously then 40% from our local people which is our taxes. Then if you go to um let's see the next slide on 14 col that'll show our expenses. So our expenses then combined the benefits and the wages. That's the biggest expense that we have. And that's just about 80 80% there. Not about 79
01178%. A little less than 80%. And then everything else um is 20% which supplies, purchase services, things of that nature. So those are the two biggies, the pies. It might put a little bit more into perspective for you. Um, I found it very interesting that talking about public schooling versus private schools, public schooling as a whole enrollment around the state has been decreasing at about almost 7% in the past seven years and private schools have grown um exponentially between FY22 and FY25 due to the expansion of Ed Choice scholarships. Their enrollment exceeds over 180,000 since 2010. Not a lot of students, but it is significant when you talk about private school funding because they've been putting a lot of money into private schools. Um, in our other revenue in our and if you look at
012the um line 1.06 on your spreadsheet here, that catches everything else. And part of that $1.4 $.4 million in our spreadsheet. Part of that is our interest. Last year, we earned about $845,000 in interest. This year, I've got us earning just about 833,000. So, that's more than half of that line 1.06 and all other revenue. And the reason why it's a little bit less is because interest rates have gone down a little bit. Um, so that's where we're at with that. We're we've been doing very very well with our interest. Everything else in that line item will consist of Medicaid reimbursement. Um, for fiscal year 23, we received an $80,000 true-up, which was a nice little um, surprise, and that's because you have an audit every year on our Medicaid um, students, and they find
013um, if you owe or if you get more, and we've always had uh, a payment due to us. So that means for any psychologist or PT or OT or speech, anybody that touches any of our kids, that all gets uploaded to the Medicaid system. We do receive monies throughout the year, but then there is an audit for each fiscal year and then they find if there was any um any any monies that we were owed and and we were owed 80,000. So we received that this fiscal year. So that's another little catchall on that 1.06 as well. We also receive our JOTC funding from that. Um, let's see. This year, I've talked about our grants. We're still offsetting salary and benefits. So, if you look at that 3.01 line on your spreadsheet of $14.2 million,
014it could be 1.3 more than that, but it's not because we get grants. So, we offset salary and benefits by $1.3 million. So that's an significant offset for us as well. Um let's see our tax collection rate is at about 96%. Our income tax um we are showing just a little bit below than what we collected this past year and the reason for that is there were fewer collections from prior year unpaid liabilities. We noticed that a little bit of a trend going on there as well. I guess basically bottom line is we are in the black through FY30. We we really don't have any concerns at this point in time. I did put in operating transfers out in fiscal year 27 and fiscal year 29. Um I put $200,000 in there. Part of that
015is to offset a purchase of a bus. So I did I did put that in there as well. Other than that, unless you have questions, this is what's going to be submitted to the state [Applause] and that's what we'll be voting on tonight. How old those are? You want to talk about it? Yeah. So, we we looked at how old our continuing property tax millage rates are. The first one was um a combination I'm sure of many in 1976 and that was like 20.1 mills. The next one was voted in 1980 thinks or something like that. And then the last one that was voted in for this district was in 1985 that was like 4.2 mills. So we haven't asked for operating village for that long. The only thing that we've ever done was ask
016for income tax and that was in 1995. Other than that, we haven't we haven't had to ask our district for any new operating mills. And those millies you get a set dollar amount. If when your property values go up, we don't get we don't get more money out of that. So realize property taxes is a hot issue right now in Ohio, but I mean it's just because your values go up doesn't mean the school gets more, right? And you know, as we talked about in our finance committee meeting, the fair that I'm back up home from Fton used to do with the Waff County Fair, there were boos, I'm sure there's many other booths and other fairs where they were promoting um no property taxes. So they were doing on no property taxes and what
017that means I mean yeah we don't have any new mill but we do have bond issues and those bond issues are based off of our collection of our property taxes and that's how we pay our bond. So if that goes away, you know, the the ratings for not just us but any school um could be Compromised. How would you ever pay back? I don't I mean so you know we know that those raiders the rate the rateers are looking at the state of Ohio because of that very situation. Is there anything else you want me to Would you No. Would you assume that, you know, you said 80% of it comes from the state. Would you assume back in the 80s or 70s when they had that, was it not as high then? Would you
018assume that? Wouldn't it have been maybe 80%, maybe it was only 60% or 50% at that point because basically we're working on the same money as we were then. Yeah. I mean, the only way you get more money is the state giving us more, right? That's separate from the property tax. So, yeah. I don't know. It's It's a convoluted system. Yes. Thank you. Yep. Thanks, Joe. Have a motion to accept that. Thanks, Brad. Mr. Mayfield. Yes. Mr. Carney. Yes, ma'am. Yes. Mr. Um item number seven, superintendent reports. Okay, so um this was not originally on the plan, but we're going to go ahead and gather feedback real quick. Uh so you guys were sent some slides and some options for potential athletic field renovations maybe two, three weeks ago. Um and then I got um
019Doug had talked with Rodney and I both about some ideas on what was sent. And so I thought it would be a good idea, we thought it'd be a good idea to share it with the rest of the board and just have some discussion on what the idea is. Uh we're not making any decisions. Nothing is going to be finalized in this meeting. Uh but feedback is good. So I'm going to go ahead and put up a picture just so that way you guys can look at it as we talk. Thought we were doing it. I'm just going to unplug the HDMI check. Unless you weren't we going to do this after the meeting? It has to be done here. I thought during my not taking any action. All right. I didn't know he's doing
020it during the meeting. I thought we was doing it afterwards because we weren't going to make a decision. We could do it afterwards, but whatever. You want to go up there so you could show them what you're talking about? Yeah. All right. So, basically Doug called it wanted to meet with me about this and and he had some different ideas on maybe how this should be laid out. I mean, I don't oppose what he's talking about. It's got some benefits. So, he's going to kind of give you an idea of what he's his ideas are and and then we we can discuss it and then maybe we can figure it out. So, obviously when we got the emails that was sent out with the flyby and stuff, I took a good look. Um, I was
021just actually been just thinking about it. How can it benefit us totally? You know, we're really going to plan on building this as an athletic complex. Really, the only thing that's not that's missing from here is football and track. Football and track is not going to be in here. So, what I thought uh would be kind of ideal, I love the proposal of, you know, poss, you know, we got to do test that's not in this picture. Uh but that's something that we'll have to do. But with the layout here, I love some of the things that we've done. Um the only thing that I was thinking about that might make more sense for us um is a couple things actually. One, um I'm not sure honestly we need two football practice fields. So one
022of the ideas was to change this area here. Um, I think this would ide be be ideal for a parking lot right here. It's got access. We can actually have access to the soccer. I know we're talking about changing the field, the the home run fence. I love that idea. I think we need more room here. We know we need more room for spectators in there. So, I think that's a great idea. Um, so I would really like to see us consider this to be a parking lot here. Um, I also with that in mind, the location of this I I just don't like it. I don't think it's ideal. Um, I would like to see us maybe move that over to here, right to here. So, number one, parking lot, handicap, easy access to
023everywhere. This would be kind of more of a concrete, you know, get to all fields and be able to go into the soccer field here. Um, but it centralizes this building. You know, I we need restrooms out there, guys. We all know that. We're using pors right now. It's just not ideal. We need restrooms out here, but centrally locating for the complex I think makes the most sense to me. Um the other part of that, you know, yeah, we can move the soccer practice field here and that would be okay. Is it ideal? No. The other thing that I actually really really like, I actually like moving the soccer practice field right here and it's big enough to do it. Um by all the measurements that I took, I think that would be ideal. Now,
024doing that, I know our proposal for the building here was kind of locker room, storage, uh, ticket booth, that kind of stuff. The main reason I don't like it here, guys, is we don't own this property. That can take that can be taken away anyway. And if you know Don Wong and Wanda Wong like I do, I ran from them from eight years. They're not people. They're not nice people. They don't care about us. They can give two craps about us, honestly. Sorry about the the language, but this is actually even considered loading and unloading. It's not even a parking lot. It's unloaded. Now, I know there's no business there where used to be. So, but I'm really concerned of having a main entrance over here because we can lose it at any time. So,
025I think the central location of this, you know, it is debatable whether the practice build go here or here. Um, you know, and then really it's kind of open for discussion. Um, I think this would be ideal spot for maybe, you know, right here. You know, we talked about this, you know, and this is soccer or whatever. It's for a net, but I think a good area right here to practice shooting goals. This would be an ideal spot for that right off the field. Pretty good one, though. Um, but I think Rodney and I had the discussion about the lights for the soccer field. I think it's ideal, too. Needs It needs improved. It definitely does. You'll sit in here. You can't see. I didn't notice it. Rodney told me about it. The more and
026more I think about it, there's a big pole there and I never really noticed it before. Um, but I think I like that part, too. So, really just some minor changes and tweaking really just giving us a complex here with the central complex with some storage. Um, and maybe it's storage for softball and baseball and soccer. Restrooms there where everybody could use them because we all know this restroom right here is a single restroom. I mean, there there's two. There's a urinal and and a kimot for a guy in the men's restroom and it's not big enough to serve these so why not have something more centrally located. So that was the idea that I've been tossing around. I just wanted to present it to you guys and see what you thought. Um by doing
027it by doing this over here though the parking lot much more parking much better access to all areas of that. So I think that was all. Any other questions? Did you change the density on the baseball? Well, the the Yes. Yes. I think we're going to need like we talked about I don't this we got to get that back. We got to do more room so we can see this. And I think it'd be good to cut this. And I think the by talking to Josh the head coach and stuff. I think we do something pretty cool for the baseball to have our own, you know, make it our own. Make it the not the green monster or whatever for Kent, but you know, somewhere make it higher. uh do something kind of unique for
028camp. So I think that would be awesome and then obviously fencing we'd have to contend with and all of that. So but that was my idea. Did you like the this layout better or did you like the half a field in between better? I actually like I guess it's going to depend on what we decide to do. I mean 100% do I think we need this? I don't know. I that's a question for me because if we've also been debating about make this all turf. If we make this all turf, I don't think we need this. They can dribble the ball soccer dribble vault whatever inside turf anywhere. We've got turf. They could use that facility if they want to practice on turf or not. So I don't I don't know. I'm not sold on
029that. I don't know if we need a big turf field for that. It'd be nice to practice on. Yeah. But we do have the big athletic facility that's got turf in if we really need to do some turf work. And that's baseball, football, soccer, whoever. I mean, that's why we've got the big building with the turf in it. So, that's kind of the thoughts I had. I tried to think through most of it, but uh I think it would just make more sense and I'm thinking of more about the students and actually the the spectators coming to look at it. You went to one football field. What were the other? Well, if if we move the practice field go to soccer over there, then we go. Now, if we don't move the practice soccer field
030over there, probably just I mean, couple things. So, moving that building over there, it's easier access water line, sewer, and the electric's right there. Um, we can still and and we're putting that drainage tile up through there so we can get rid of all the water. Um, right. And so, um, he says he's mapped that out with those, uh, where the tennis courts are that it is big enough for the soccer field. I don't know. You have to check that. I mean, we're not making decisions. It was just ideas. Well, I the more I think about I don't really like that shoved in that corner over there. And if we could put it there and incorporate whatever your design is and if you have to redesign it to make it work in there, it's not
031that big a deal. And so, and then the entrance will be there instead of in the back back here where we're cramming it in somewhere. Well, I like it being on our property with the parking and all that. Well, I like it because it's going to be easier to get to to build. Yeah. I mean, so I mean, I don't I don't hate doing that. Um, you talk about public bathrooms for the soccer, you know, you're talking about baseball, softball, because they said there's only two, how many? So, I I don't know. I don't know the footprint of your building, honestly. I don't know how many how many toilets. Yeah, that's what I was trying to say. For women, I'd probably say I think you probably have at least three. Probably two more than you
032probably have more than that. You said you had two over there. You thought that was not Well, it's a shared restroom. It's Well, no, not there's actually two restrooms, but they're number one, they're tiny tiny. They're not handicap accessible. Um, so that's a problem in itself. Um, and it's just it's cramped. I mean, the men's restroom over there, I don't know if I've been in the women's over there, but the men's the journal and I mean, it's tiny, but I think it would improve that. I mean, I think Brad, if if this is kind of what we decide to do. I mean, you would, you know, the you would probably slide that building down this way so that the building's going, you know, your ticket thing will be on this corner and then it'll be
033down this way for you. Yeah. But I don't know that. Well, I mean, it ain't in yet, so we can do whatever. If this is what we decide to do, everybody I mean, I don't know. Tasha, you know what? What's your thoughts? So, my only thought honestly, the first thing that came to my mind is so are they going to move like a potential cross country course like out where the new middle school high schools at like Raider Woods and all that because that's a lot of where they're currently running. I'm just I'm just thinking that's what came to my mind. It's funny. He he looked into that because that's where they currently run the majority. You know, I mean, you know that Brad where they run two like How many months ago? Yeah. You're
034trying to build one in on just the high school middle school. You'd have to do you know just get three miles 3.1 miles into it. Yeah. That's where I think that we talked about going into the woods. I think that started that'd be pretty cool, right? Oh yeah. I I've said to Chad, you know, before is that I hope that each of our athletic uh sports can have the ability at some point to host the district or be a neutral site for nice facilities that I understand that for that that's where I'm trying that's where I'm at. So cross country that's the same way and I mean this isn't going to eliminate I mean we can yeah I just was thinking that that's a you know in that general area where they do a lot
035of the old bead whatever but and then as far as the uh like allpurpose field I think it's a good idea I I mean I don't know I guess it just comes down to Is it like a cost thing, an expense thing as far as that goes? But the purpose that it would serve like which field you talking about bring the just that the little one little one up the little one up there in the I mean so my whole idea on this is is we're just going to take a little bit of chunk at a time and we'll do this see where we are financially. we'll do another thing, see where we are financially. And at some point it's like, well, we can't afford to do anymore, whatever. But I'm I'm telling you, that
036baseball field is in terrible. I mean, it drops off two feet behind third base there. You're shortstop. You're running downhill for a ways. I mean, it's I mean, it's just I was shocked how far off the Yeah. So, this is all the it's all the idea that'll come out of that 070 is how we're pull this. the majority. I mean, so so right now Yeah. I mean, the P or the PI. I mean, I mean, there's there's going to be once they get this building done, all our building, and they close out everything, right? I think you're going to have a bunch of money that's going to get dumped into that PI fund because there's only certain things you can only places you can put it is about there. So, but I mean right now
037and we discussed this Jill, you know, you look at the amount of interest that we're drawing on our general fund. We're really not spending the general fund money. All we're spending is the interest that we're drawing on that general fund because we've been fortunate enough that interest rates were high enough we were getting, you know, the 800,000 a year or whatever. So, yeah. Go ahead. Sorry. Yeah. So, like the soccer field, you know, we agreed to pay 400,000. Well, it only cost 275,000 to do that soccer field. So, I mean, it's, you know, it's just, okay, a little bit of time and see where we're at. A little bit more, see where we're at to work if we got to get it laid out the way, right? Have a plan and this is what we're
038going to do. We don't have to do it all at once, right? I think the biggest thing is and you guys all know this it's as the process begins just being transparent to the community as you know why are you take you know what I mean doing all these projects bu I I think we need it I really do I think it's just time to things get redone renovated upgraded I don't that's not a disagreement at all it's just going to be What is your take on bathrooms down the looks There's probably a soft field there. Is there any think about it? Maybe you don't answer this question right now. Think about it. But would you want another smaller just vacuum only down there? The reason I asked that question was is then that allows
039you to flip the locker room to the parking lot too. If you flip what you just said about boys for soccer longer and parking lot, you flip these two Because you said put a parking lot here. Yeah. And then you said, you know, put that over here. Well, I'm just saying you flip bought these two and you put a parking here. It's you can serve this closer here, but you have to put another bathroom down there to make that work. Smaller bathroom. Bathroom only. He doesn't think that's that far to walk down to the soccer field. I don't think I think I would prefer and go to the new facility that's 80 yards away restroom wide, then go to that little one. You know, the other option would be is to I I don't know
040if you can make those bathroom bigger than that, but I mean, I know the the number I don't know if that was whatever. Yeah. Yeah. That's the only I mean, we got to get a consensus on that building that we're trying to get started here in the next month. That's the big thing. So, if that's what we're going to do, then you may have to reconfigure how that's laid out. The other thing that you could think about is if we do if we're able to put the the practice soccer field over where you've got the parking lot there, you know, over by the building, you know, put some money into those locker rooms there and they could be not that are in the existing building that we use now. That'd be really close to the
041practice facilities for the soccer team, too. So, do we need locker rooms over there where the in the middle where the the restrooms are going to go? You know what I mean? But remodel those things. They're freaking huge. Those What is like if you did your own boys? Why? There's boys in lock mean girls. The old high school, right? So if you remodel, right? Yeah. I suppose I' never been. So the girls soccer could move from the field house over to the whatever the high school you're saying. Oh for the practice locker room. Yes. I mean they could. That's what I'm asking. Yeah. You said it's close. I'm just like it's from the fieldhouse there. It's No, no, no. I Yeah, I meant if you move the lock room that way, right? Yeah. I didn't
042know the girls soccer were in the athletic. So I didn't know that. Yeah. So that's what they're saying. just re they just redid the girls and boys locker rooms there, didn't they? Not girls was redone a little bit maybe 10 years ago. Uh they created a separate varsity locker room but just for basketball and the reason that soccer can't use it is there isn't enough space in that one. So if you were to remodel because you don't have PE in there anymore, you could open it back up and redo it if you wanted to. You probably have as much in that as well. That was good. It was a good question, Bill. Sometimes could be the case on that. Yeah, the case. Mhm. Yeah, for sure. Okay. Well, and I mean, I don't want to
043cut anybody off or anything like that, but I know we got the rest of the agenda. I just wanted to make sure this was presented and you guys could provide some feedback if wanted desired. And you can still do that even after this meeting. you can let me know um and then I can chair out with the board that kind of thing. Okay. All right. Thank you. Thanks. Yeah. Thanks everybody. All right. Uh so that brings us to uh item number eight, board committee reports. Finance had theirs which I just presented. Okay. Um I do have a few updates from Doug Purcell about Ohio High Point. Let's see. So, the update from uh Mrs. Purcell uh says that there are 720 students on the main campus now over at Ohio High Point. Um she also
044shared that uh Luke Hensel from KHS was selected to make a presentation to the board regarding a week on week off school work program and she said he loves it. allows him to hold a job, uh make some money, complete his education, and still participate in uh extracurricular activities. Um she also shared that the uh main campus will be starting a LPN program for the high school students this year. Um she said there's approximately 20 seniors who met the requirements for the program. Um she said the students will be enrolled in Clark State University uh one month after high school graduation. they will they will compete they will complete the LPN program and be eligible to set for the lensure exam. Um I'm just kind of trying to hit on some of the main points
045here. Um she said at that time they will have the opportunity to complete one more year of college with Clark State on the Ohio High Point campus and complete the uh registered nurse program. Um, so she said it's possible the student could be a licensed registered nurse before they're 20 years old. Um, she did say just to keep in mind that I think most hospitals now require like a bachelor's degree with five years of employment. Um, but she said that'll allow the students uh to have the opportunity to be working while if they do choose to take the bachelor's courses. uh she she said shared some student numbers for the kitten satellite courses um says there are currently over 400 students in the district taking advantage of the career and technical education. Um she said
046that uh KMS business has 68 students. Pre-engineering has 137 students. The kitten high school a has 93 students. Uh 48 are taking the welding and workshop elective. Uh business has 76 students. Allied health and nursing has 73 students. and she did also share that they hired a new hike instructor for Kenton uh Patrick Miller. Um that's really I think the the main points that I just wanted to share from her her update for Ohio High Point. Thank you. Um there was no old business motion to accept. Pencil told me to do that.
