I aliance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Julie's art. In art class, we learned about the history of voting rights in America and how we progressed since the beginning of
004our country. I used this information to inspire me to create a work of art that would inspire others to vote. The message I wanted to incorporate into my painting was to use your voice and vote no matter who you are. It doesn't matter if you are non-white, cis, a minority, or just called weird. Use your vote to be heard. When I sketched out my my initial painting, I placed the oversized white vote box in the foreground to put the emphasis on the act of voting. I also painted the word vote on the windows in the background to repeat this important message. And I painted a large flag voting in the wind to remind people that they are voting for their rights, their communities, and their country. I painted the crowd to show death by creating
005the people in the foreground larger than the ones in the background. I tried to I tried to represent as many Americans as I could in the crowd. Some black, some trans, some even coming straight from their jobs to vote. No person in the same as No person is the same as the others. Yet they are all here for the same thing. To either voices to have their voices be heard by [Applause] voting. This piece was a gift to my mom. When I was designing it, I thought about all of her favorite things, such as her love for plants and her favorite color, purple. When I was first given this assignment, I was unsure of how to go about it. Christmas was rolling around, and I figured it could be a gift then, but I didn't
006have enough time to finish it before then. This project took about five months. During those five months, I struggled with the stress of missing work, winter break, my science project, and a college YSP application, plus my dog passing away. Art was like a relaxing escape from all of this. I'm able to laugh and talk with my friends while painting or building with clay. Miss Murdoch has always given me creative freedom and has let my imagin imaginative side shine through and I thank her for that. Though the art program me through the art program many kids have been able to show themselves whether it's through pottery, painting, pastels, sketching, anything students are able to express themselves [Applause] freely. In class, we were informed of the new call for artist from Cleveland Hopkins Airport. I have had
007artwork selected by two previous calls for artists both in 2023 and in 2024. So I was excited to learn that the new call was the land prover pre preserving landscapes and inspiring futures. The theme of the artwork was to celebrate the natural beauty of the land. So I decided to paint Lake Erie and its shoreline with a freshwater breeze flowing past a family of hikers. When I was planning my artwork, I decided to create the effect of an immersive setting like in some television shows. I achieved this by having the central figure standing out toward the audience. The character on the left is talking to the audience and the person on the right is walking away from the audience exploring the terrain. It was important to me to make an observer observer of my painting
008feel like feel as if they were included in the setting. In a world nowadays where we have technology at the palm of our hands, we tend to forget that there is nature. We have we forget we have beautiful and natural surroundings all around us and we take it for granted. So my message in this artwork is appreciate the the nature around us. [Applause] Hello. Um, our artwork is about Alice in Wonderland. We call it relaxing. We call it reclining with Alice. It's It was a artwork created by me and my friends Selena, Sierra, Miriam, Miriam, me. We made it to show different parts of Alice the Wonderland as if as the queen, the rabbit, and the Chassire cat. The back of it has a portal that represents like going into Alice as we have cars
009and we have to clean on back. We modernized it to where it looks like we to where we think of it and how we express ourselves in our artwork. As you see on our chair legs, we have different parts that we did. And on each side is it's different. So on one side we have a locket or a pocket watch and the chain goes along the whole back of not the whole back like half the back of it going down it to the queen. The queen is an inspiration from me and my friend Miriam. I couldn't I couldn't figure out what to do for the face, so I asked her for help. She helped me create the eyes and everything and the hair. I couldn't figure out what texture I wanted for the hair. I
010was in an art block. She helped me through all that. Sierra helped me with the background and with the character proportions. She also helped me with the laser chair. The front of the chair at the bottom where you see the patterns, it's just it's re it's to represent the different clothes in Alice and Wonderland. The keys on the front were all her was all Sierra's idea. The chest fire cap was built well not built was made by my friend Miriam. So as the so was the clock. As you see the flowers on the top is a different is different colors representing how Wonderland could be colorful and not just all plain and black and white as most movies. And also we have the cards to represent the queen of hearts as so does the person
011on the back. And the keys represent like going into different doors in Alice in Wonderland. And that's all we have for [Applause] it. How can educate How can education change today's social injustices? The way that my artwork shows this is by teaching is The way that my artwork shows this is by showing the teaching of the true unfiltered history of America. The hands are reaching for the truth as the braces chain them together and try to keep them from the truth. If we do not teach the real history, we cannot learn from it. Therefore, we are doomed to repeat it. Even though the chains try to keep the people from the truth, it burns bright. The truth rains down in light and fire. A truth so pure almost ethereal. It comes to the hands so
012they may learn and be better than their forefathers. If the true unfiltered history is taught rather than keeping the chains of uneducation on, we can learn from our mistakes. Today's social injustices can be solved step by step into a brighter future. Although we need to fix our problems now, they should have never happened. If we learn now, we can prevent any more social injustices. Today people are uninformed is that is why and that is why they make stereotypical assumptions. If everyone is well informed we can avoid these stereotypes and get a better understanding of each other. Everyone should know the truth no matter race, religion or gender. In a time of war and ban books and un uneducation, misinformation and injustice, our future generations need to know the truth so they don't repeat it and
013they can be better than those of the past. In conclusion, this painting isn't just about how education can change today's social injustices. It is a vision I have for the future. [Applause] Just real quick, if I could, Denise, the first of all, I just want to say thank you. Not only is the artwork absolutely amazing, but the stories behind each um drawing, each each painting, um the inspiration, what was going through your minds, how well written everything was, that was just fantastic. So, thank you very much. [Music] Oops. I'm gonna talk while he gets it set up. um for the news uh club that we have. My lovely group behind me will tell you what they do and everything in the news club. It's a morning club that we have created, but they also are
014doing um recording the announcements and stuff. We do it a monthly news show, but they were given the challenge of when you were talking about for each school of telling about each school. So, Mr. Huffman says, "Hey, can you tell us what's um about Longfellow?" So, these guys sat down and said, "Hey, let's have this person, this person, this person who all represent um Longfellow and talk about what makes Longfellow great." And they literally found and thought of each of the different like uh people that would be great representation for Longfellow. And I said, ' Then they we can use this for our fifth grades, fifth fifth graders coming in so they can see what's great about Longfellow. So these guys, I'm going to let them tell you what they do in the for the
015new show and then we're just going to do a little bit of the clip. We don't have to do the whole thing, but um they came up with everybody who was involved in this uh little um video that we created. Okay, go ahead. For news club, we create different videos that represent around Longfellow. Also, we create a morning news club that telling of what's going to happen upcoming like upcoming conferences, upcoming uh dances or even upcoming celebrations that we do at Longfellow. And this video that will be shown shows all about most about Longfellow and like how the school is great and what we like about it. We have selected we have selected these students because we know these students uh make Long some of these students make Longfellow a great school and also rep
016show us why Longfellow is a good school. I I am someone who talks into like talks I'm someone who talks into the camera and tell them what's coming up or what we're going to do soon. I run the teleprompter. Also, as what Fa said, I also on air to inform the school on different activities like the block party. I also like doing this a lot because when going to back to the classroom, a lot of people know me. They might ask me questions and things we didn't get to incorporate through video. So, I love this is a fun way to share what's going on in our school. I am the script writer and I also um read over some of the slides that we display. That is having experiences. You also come to the school
017which is great. Anyway, so yeah, that's it. They all what makes the class cool is you get to compete against people makes longer cool. It's cool because we get to write stories and they get published and you have fun with it. [Music] What makes Long's news crew so cool is that we get to create a new show of farming in our school and all the local activities or clubs. What makes Longfellow girls basketball so cool is the experience you get. What makes Longfellow basketball cool is that they're pretty good. You get to go to places a lot. You get to leave school early. And I played basketball and it was pretty fun cuz we won a lot. Yeah. That's what makes Longfellow basketball cool. [Music] Well, what makes Longfellow Choir cool is that you can
018sing a whole bunch of songs, variety of them, like Disney songs, Broadway songs, musical songs, Netflix TV shows, and many more. [Music] What makes Longfell Band cool is the trips cuz at the end of the year he's taking us to Cedar Point to perform in front of a big group of people which is very nerve-wracking but it's very exciting fellow robotics. school. What makes Long Robotics cool is the fact that you can bond with the other schools and the other Lraine schools and they help you and team with teamwork on building the robots and you when you build the robots you could also go against other robots across the state at the tournaments and it's really fun. [Music] What makes Longfellow art class so cool is is that there's a variety of things you can
019do. There's Photoshop, there's ceramics, there's drawing, there's painting, there's pastels. You can you have the ability to do pretty much anything you want with with barely any with barely any restrictions. And you have the opportunity uh throughout the year to win multiple awards and competitions, some of which can get you money. [Applause] If we can uh have the students and families come up front, we'd love to get a photo with you. Pretty cool. Come on up. Stand up. Come on up. Everybody ready? One, two, three. Thank you. All right. Good. Okay, I see everybody's got the program with apologies to Mrs. Timco. This that was the fun part. So, you feel free to continue your beautiful day elsewhere. And Vicki, it's all on you. You ready? All right. All set. So, hi. I'm Vicky Timkco.
020I'm the director of federal programs and grants. And yes, once a year I do the uh presentations that we are required to do. Uh so for compliance and for public information. So, I'm doing two real quick today. The student wellness and success funds, which are uh and also disadvantaged pupil impact fund, which are state funds. And then I'm going to do a quick overview of title one uh which are our federal grants as well. Um the two state funds, the student wellness and success funds and the disadvantaged pupil impact aid state funds all came out of um Governor Dwine's future forward strategic plan alignment and having to fund those initiatives. Specifically, these are for wraparound services and programs that help students and family needs. Um, during fiscal year 24, districts across the state spent over
021$885 million in student wellness and success funds and disadvantaged pupil impact aid. Again, those are all districts across the state. Uh, on a var a lot of different initiatives, various initiatives to enhance student well-being in Ohio. Um, so there are some more facts there on the slide, but there were 6,239 new full-time equivalent staff positions reported and more than 17,000 um existing full-time equivalent staff positions. Um, and that is that post esser sustainability. Uh, we brought on a lot of staff for well-roundedness and wraparound services and we wanted to sustain those efforts not just us here in Lraine but across the state. as you can see. So like all other funding, it requires planning goals and measurable outcomes. So we do that. Um we use all sorts of data, but uh we really use the
022needs assessment which is a department tool that's embedded in our CCIP, our one plan. Uh and we do that every three years. Uh the there is a table here uh and that does show you for fiscal year 24 the initiative categories with the top expenditures. Again this is statewide. This is not just Lorraine city schools but how these funds were used across the state. Um and you can see that mental health services was uh at the top. um it is a need as well as reading improvement and intervention for fiscal years 24 and 25. Districts and schools were uh required uh to use the funding to support initiatives outlined in the guidelines and it did state that 50% had to be for mental health services or physical health care services or a combination of both.
023uh disadvantaged pupil impact aid. The top expenditures there um included reading improvement and interventions, mental health services, again including teleaalth and school safety were on the top of those lists across the state. And like with all funding, whether it's federal or state, there's reporting responsibilities. So, uh, Casey and I in my office work closely with Julie and Jennifer on the, uh, accounting treasures office side to do what we have to do every year to report to the department, uh, exactly how we spent it, what the plan was, and we have to submit all of our budgets and reports. Uh, so that we fulfilled here in Lraine City Schools the allowable community partner piece. and you'll see the description there of what we had to do and who we have to partner with. Uh we partnered
024with QuickMed. Uh QuickMed is a community oriented, locally owned and operated urgent care here in Northeast Ohio. And as you are all well well aware, our clinic is housed and located in Washington Elementary. Uh and we value those services and they have done lots to help uh with our students, our staff, and their families. So, um, again, that has been our partnership with QuickMed and the UKare of Lraine City Schools. So, there's the clinic hours, the phone number, and again, it's located at Washington. So, that is our information there. SWSF and DPIA funds right here in Lraine City Schools for fiscal year 24. Um here we spent them for our social worker salaries and benefits, nursing safety and security, contracted wraparound services, academic intervention, instructional technology, and our media clerk. So you can see our
025spending here in Lraine City Schools really followed the trend as you saw across the whole state. We were prioritizing a lot of the same needs as a lot of the other districts. So there is a lot of information on the ODW's website. If you put in student wellness and success funds and disadvantaged people impact aid, there's a whole website um and the whole review with a lot more detail in it that will uh show you everything that was done in fiscal year 2024. Right. And then I have the title one. Thank you, Drew. before spring break. So, okay, I'm touching it like this. Okay, federal programs and grants. Um, so this is a requirement also with federal funds that I inform you a little bit about what we do with our title one funding here.
026So the purpose of federal programs and grants is the money from the US Department of Education filters through the state to us and it is to provide a variety of programming aimed at helping students. There's some bullet points of all the things uh that are allowable and specifically what we do with title one funding here in Lorraine City Schools. Again, salaries and benefits are a big part of that. Um strategic plan and funding alignment. There are requirements um uh we must align with our district strategic plan and all spending is aligned to support the our following goal which which is there and you know that from our strategic plan. Um and that's um that was the beginning of our three-year plan and our three-year plan does end at uh spring of 2027 in which we
027start the process all over again. We'll do a deep dive into data and a needs assessment and continue that improvement process that we do with our DT on a regular basis. This one is a uh district-wide and building bybuilding dive as well. So, types of federal funds. Title one, probably the most well-known provides interventions to support our struggling students and for our family engagement activities. So we use it for our title one reading teachers at the elementary schools and then our middle and high school had title one reading and math. Our summer programming, our educational software and supplies and there are family engagement nights. Um all of our buildings uh have three of those uh fall, winter, and spring event at their own buildings in addition to the district-wide events that we do. uh district-wide
028title one policy believes that our family involvement is critical to the success of our title one and all of our educational programs. So, we take very seriously the responsibility of building a partnership between the home and the school district. So, our title one program should be informing families um and uh what's going on with students. It also provides training for teachers and family and other staff to work together to support participating students. And for us, it's all students. We are schoolwide title here in Lraine City Schools. Other districts um do a different programming which is called targeted programming, but we are schoolwide. So all of our students uh and all of our families and all of our staff are a part of title one funding um for title 2A. Title 2A is the fund that
029provides supplemental activities to strengthen the quality and effectiveness of teachers, principles, and other school leaders. So this is how we uh are able to provide a lot of educational technology, our evidence-based instruction across a system of multi-tered supports, uh professional development, instructional strategies designed for our English learners, uh and academic coaching. Title three is to fund and support our language instruction for our English learners. Uh specifically here in Lraine City Schools, we use those funds to um staff our bilingual pair of professionals who are a vital resource to us. Uh IDEIDAB and IDA early child special education funds are to support students with disabilities, preK through 12, our special education population. So that's our intervention specialists, our pair of professionals, uh instructional materials as well as more professional development specific to um those with special
030education needs. Title four. Title four is to improve students academic achievement by increasing um capacity around um we we sort of call this um the extras in federal funds. So it's uh mentoring, social emotional learning, instructional material, school counselors, wellness coaches, um more a little more into the well uh wraparound and well-being of the whole child. So we are always looking for your ideas. If you scan the QR code, that is for a survey. We also provide this survey at all of our family engagement events. I know a lot of our building principles post it on their website. So anytime you want to give us feedback about our federal funding and and grants, we welcome that. So this is a one venue in which to do that. Uh we do have to do a parent
031promise. It's called the school parent compact. Uh and if you go to the website uh and put into our website, federal programs and grants, there's links for all of these parent promises and school parent compacts. And each of the buildings at their open houses in the fall roll this out as well at the school level. So if you want more information, again, reach out to myself, Casey Smith, in the grants office and and we'll be able to provide you with uh links so that you can give us that information or just email us what you'd like to see in these parent promises and school compacts. So again, we value your input and invite you to complete a federal programs feedback form. Uh Vicky Timco, that's me. Federal Programs Grants Coordinator is Casey Smith. She is
032my right hand. So feel free to reach out to us uh with any questions or comments. Thank you. Thank you. [Applause] First hearing of the public.

038a three-day event which they discussed bringing retail uh increased retail traffic to the city of Lraine. I am sure that as the as the board representative we were included because we have two things that are very desirable. Um and that would be tax abatement and the south view property. So I have no more to report other than that it was very informative. There was a lot of data. It would it was a very wellpresented uh conference. I learned a lot, maybe more than I need to know about how many cars a day go up and down Route 57, but that was that. Second hearing of the public. I have uh something I wanted to add, please. Yeah. Um, I would uh like uh the board to please read and consider um looking at the resolution

Uh so hopefully we can support that. Um, and I did want to um shout out all of our artists who um participated in the art show uh last Thursday. Um I don't know if you want to speak to that, Mr. Ross. I did miss the show on Friday and Saturday, but um I heard it was pretty amazing, too. So, yeah. Thanks, Mrs. Washington. I The art show is brilliant. We just have so many talented um artists and um we knew this year was a preschool display. Um so we're really excited to include preschool and now that we have students all
040the way up through advanced levels of all of our offerings to the high school and just to to see what they're producing now. We've got brilliant teachers. It it's really I think inspiring. And the senior shout outs I think were were great in the program. So we have a number of seniors now that are going to be pursuing visual art in uh in college and beyond. And the show was great. It was amazing. It really was good. Really special, isn't it? Yeah, we got some really exciting things on the horizon here, too. My girls were still talking about it yesterday of like things that were funny during the show and whatnot. It was um I just really I I was it the presentation at the beginning of the meeting. I was struck by how the
041students were able to tie academic curricular issues into art. And a shout out to both um the the art instructor who does pretty amazing things anyhow and the teachers who worked with her to allow that to happen. I was really really struck with how well that meshed. Yes. And I would like to add one last thing. So they had uh at the high school they had their literacy night um at the same time we were having the art show. So I got to go over there and visit both. and they were line dancing and they had free books and they had dinner and just smiles all around over there as well. So, just some amazing things going on in our buildings and um that doesn't always get shared. So, I want to give a shout
042out to Miss Jones and um Miss Jackson. Yes. Yes. Okay. I thought I thought so. Miss Jackson for getting that uh literacy night going over there. It was really awesome. So, that's it. Thank The other thing I want to commend is I had the opportunity last Saturday to interview some prospective young scholars from our three middle schools and I was so impressed with the the capability and the maturity of the students uh who were present and applying for the for the program that uh I am so grateful to Ohio State for providing the opportunity and having the foresight to rearrange that so as not to get in Dutch with the DEI uh police. The next board meeting will be Monday, May 12th, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. right here in beautiful Lorraine High School. And with
