This employee was the invitation. >> Yes. Yes. Yeah, I can. >> Okay. Are we ready to go on? Okay. Invocation, Mr. Foss. >> Okay. Let's pray. Dear Lord,
007we thank you again that we can have another board meeting and uh we pray that this opportunity will be used in a good way to its fullest to better the student environment here to provide opportunities to be good stewards of what's available to us at this time. and we ask for your protection on our school district and the students and just that very a lot of good things would happen this school year in Jesus name we pray. Amen. >> Amen. >> Thank you. >> OSBA presentation, Mrs. Kroco. >> Okay. Um recently Governor Mike DeWine's property tax reform workg group released its recommendations for property tax reform. Um parts that would involve the education advocates include that they are rein refining the process and definition of county budget commissions to allow them to reduce levies that
008they deem unnecessary or excessive reductions could occur 5 years after a levy is first approved or two years after renewal with a public hearing. Uh they're talking about limiting carryover balances for all taxing districts to 100%. Any carryover balance over 100% would need to be justified in writing. They want to enact legislation that eliminates the future use of substitute levies and renames all current substitute and emergency levies to fixed sum levies. Um, they want to close the LLC loophole when buying and or selling class one residential and agricultural property. They are in support of House Bill 186, which I'm assuming Dan, you're going to address a little bit. >> Yes, that was 186 we talked about last night. >> Um, so I'll won't comment anymore on that as Dan will go over that. They want
009to restrict emergency levies to entities under fiscal caution, watch or emergency as defined by the state auditor, and impose a time limit of five years. They are in favor of enacting House Bill 154, which allows Ohio school districts to disapprove of a community reinvestment area program that would impact the school district. And finally, they want to create another workg group to examine the efficiencies of the various levels of government and potential shared service models. That's it. >> Perfect. >> Thank you. >> Thank >> curriculum update, Mrs. Kaylee. Thank you. All right. Good evening again. So, I am here this evening to talk a little bit about our school district report card. Um, I did things a little differently this this time around. Typically I have a Google Slides presentation for you but what I did
010um this time was what I call the one pager where we where um I just take the information put it on one page and we'll take some time to go through it. Feel free at any time to stop and ask questions. Okay. So um at the top one of the things that I think is important to notice is that you know student success is more than just a score. So when you think of our school district report cards, you see some scores, you see stars, you see percentages. Um, but I think it's so so important for us to understand that a student's success is more than just a score and that behind the numbers are the stories of our students with leading with that. Um, when you look at our district report card, we were
011an overall of a 3.5 this year. um which means keep in mind that um A3 is meeting state expectations. So that is something that I you know to commend our district. We are above state expectations. Um and then it breaks it down into the components. If you can see there we have six components that make up our school report card from achievement progress gap closing graduation early literacy and our college career workforce military readiness. And I'm just going to take a few moments to talk through um a couple talking points about each of those so that you can understand and the community can understand some of the intentional district work that we have done in each of these areas. So when you look at achievement and progress, those two components in and of themselves make
012up 50% of our report card. So they're 25% and 25%. The other two are um the other four make up the remaining 50% at 12.5% each. Does that make sense? So if you do all the math, it equals up to 100%. So when we're looking at achievement, that four out of five means mean means that we are making more than the state expectation when it comes to achievement. And that is straight up how are our students doing on their state assessments from their end of course exams at the high school level to 3 through 8 ELA and mathematics as well as grades five and eight science. And so as you can see we've received a four out of five stars which is something to celebrate. Um we absolutely are utilizing datadriven decisionmaking. We are looking
013at um student level data in our teacher-based team meetings and using that data to decide what are the next steps with our students. We also I'm proud to say that we are using highquality instructional materials. If you remember in in K to 5 we've adopted new mathematics curriculum. Last year was the first year of implementation K5 for our new ELA curriculum. This year we have moved that curriculum up to sixth grade. So we have K6 ELA now. And then we've also moved our Envision curriculum up into grades six and seven as well. So really using solid um instructional resources along with the other resources we're using just to make sure that we're meeting the needs of all children. When we move to progress, we notice and we recognize that that is an area in which
014we need to continue to focus. With that being 25% of our um report card, that is why we are not a four. I will be honest with you, if we would see a three there, you would see a four on our school report card. Um we have had professional development on assessment literacy. we have had um really making sure that we're utilizing that student centered data. And what this is is this is looking at overall are how are our how are our students comparing to other students across the state um in similar test with similar testing histories. So for example, if I have a student that typically tests in the on the higher level, they are going to compare their growth is going to be compared to other students across the state with that same
015similar testing history. If I have a struggling student, they're going to be looked at, their data is going to be looked at in comparison with other students across the state at that grade level that have had similar testing history. And so we know that this is an area I use the term we need to make sure that each or the analogy that we need to make sure that each child is making at least a full lap around the track no matter where they are starting. And for our students who are struggling that's not enough. It needs to be more than a full lap if we're going to close the gaps for those students. Which leads me into our gap closing, which we are at a five out of five stars in gap closing, which is
016huge, you guys, because that looks at things like are we how are we doing with our gifted population? How are we looking how are we doing with our economically disadvantaged population? How are we doing with chronic absenteeism? And I'll talk about that a little bit later on this on this um slide. And so we are closing gaps for kids. So we are starting to make those more than one lap around the track for students. The next component is our graduation component. That is strictly with our high school. We're looking at our four and fiveyear graduation cohorts and are our students graduating on time with all of the credentials that they need to graduate. And so our high school has worked very diligently to ensure that every single student at the high school has a graduation
017plan that has specific pathways for them based upon their interests and their aptitudes and abilities. And then we also have what are called student student success plans which is another layer. Those are like a tier 2 for students who need some additional support in addition to just that graduation plan. Then we have our early literacy. We're at a three out of five. I do believe that within the next two to three years, mark my words, this is going to continue to increase because last year was year one of implementation of our new curriculum. We are already seeing our students their fall MAP scores. We have less students on reading and improvement monitoring plans this fall than we've ever had. >> Excellent. >> And that's with one year of implementation. So I 100% believe that we
018are going to see a continued increase in the number of stars we're able to obtain for early literacy. And then the last part, this is a new piece of our um report card. This year we were able to look at data in the past several years, but it wasn't computed into our overall report card. It was just like a report only um component for the past couple of years. and that is the abbreviation CCWMR which stands for college career workforce military readiness. Basically, are our kids ready to do something post high school? And so we have intentional partnerships with our career counseling consultants who come in once a week and work with our students. They bring in speakers. They connect our students to industries. They plan field trips for our students. And then we're really
019just trying to make sure that our students are ready for that post-secary life, whether that be college, career, workforce, um, military, and then we get points based upon that. Um, one of the things I want to point out is we were for this component, we were the fourth in Stark County. So, our school district is fourth for the the college career workforce military readiness, which I think is huge. Um the other part of that that I wanted to point out is we looked at our numbers over the past couple of years. Remember it didn't count towards report card but there was still report only. We have grown from a 20some percent to an 80.5. If we get to an 85 we'll be at a fivestar. So we're very close. Um, so just tremendous um, kudos
020to the work that's being done at our high school and the intentional work that is being poured into our kids to make sure that they have what they need to be ready to go out into the world after graduation. I talked earlier with the gap closing about chronic absenteeism. If you remember, that means chronic absenteeism. The state says we want our students to be absent for less than 10% of the school year for any reason because in order for them to learn, they have to be here. And so I am so proud of the intentional work that our district has done around chronic absenteeism. Um making sure that we are making connections with students. We are making them feel seen, valued, heard. They are enjoying coming to school. They know that what that what they
021do matters. what they bring to the table matters. Starting with our kindergarten students all the way up through our 12th grade students. And you can see we dropped even more. We we were at 30ome percent a couple years ago. We are now at 14% which is significantly less than what the state minimum is. So um we would have actually if we if we maintained this percentage we actually are lower than what the state requires for this upcoming year as well. So just um if you walk through the halls, you're going at our in our buildings, you're going to see the intentional effort that folks are putting forth towards looking at um attendance. We have attendance incentives. We have our principles making announcements every day saying, "Hey, congratulations. We are at this percent today. Thank you
022for coming to school." If you walk out in the main hallway here at the high school, you're going to see a competition between our freshman, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Which class has the best percentage of attendance for the month? You're going to see other things like that throughout our district. And then the other part of that is just educating our parents on why it's so important for students to be in school. We talked to our DT um in October we or excuse me in September we had our DT meeting and we analyzed chronic absenteeism data and one of the things we recognized is that patterns that are developed in September typically tend to replicate themselves throughout the year. So if we have a student that misses two or three or four days in September, you
023oftentimes will see that continue throughout the throughout the year. and if it could lead up to a whole month of school that they are missing. And so when you look at oh a day here or a day there you know in x in in September two x's in October when you look and you take and you look at that collectively it adds up. And so just getting that message out to parents as well um has been I think a very vital piece of the success we're seeing with the chronic absenteeism rate going down. And then with that just continuing to establish our why. Our why is our kids and every decision we're making is aligned to that why and we're we have our one plan. We are all working towards that one plan and we
024have that shared leadership model. Um and I just put a couple other things on here. Just the local report card is a valuable tool, but it's just one part of our data story. By looking at multiple sources of information, we can better celebrate successes, identify needs, and make informed decisions for the future. We look at these these are important. The school the state test scores are important. The school report card is important. But also our day-to-day successes with kids are important. When we're seeing less students being on rimps, that is important. When we're seeing our chronic absenteeism drop, that is important. When we are seeing students that are having the opportunity to take more types of classes, more CCP courses, more opportunities for career tech, those are successes. And then the bottom is just that
025acknowledgement. It's it's really taking the joint effort and the shared leadership from our district leadership team, our building leadership teams, our teacherbased teams, all of our classified and certified staff, that collective effort um to make sure that we are understanding the why and carrying out the aligned vision. Do you guys have any qu That's a I will tell you I spent probably almost an hour and a half to two hours going over the report card with our admin team and we still just scratched the surface. There are so many pieces in each of these components and so many layers to it. Um we would be here for a long time if we went to into all of them. But this is just a snapshot overview um for the board and for the community to see
026that you know we we are working hard and we are being intentional with our work. >> 114 pages. >> It was >> Yeah. will be. Yes, it was a it was a Google Slides, but it because it broke down the data and we looked at subgroup data. >> I'm glad we got into one slide. >> Yes. Good job. >> Thanks. >> Yes. >> Are there is there any other curriculum that you're looking at? You know, I mean, you did reading and uh math recently. I mean, are is this pretty good where we're at or you >> We are. So, we are not looking at anything new right now. Um we have a five-year commitment to benchmark. We're in year two. Um, and it's on that state approved list. Remember, the governor came out with their
027state approved list that we had to make sure that whatever we picked was on that list. Thankfully, we had already done the work beforehand, so we were ready when that when that list came out. Um, so K to six, it benchmark stops in grade six. Now, if we continue to see a need in grade seven and eight, there are other resources out there that we could explore. it would not be benchmark because benchmark does not extend beyond grade six. Um the other part of that with mathematics I think that uh the envision platform K to6 or excuse me K to 7 we're going to see some I think great growth there. We also have had professional development um in numeracy and literacy number sense um and our staff is coming back and now doing that
028PD with our teachers and so basically think about math facts right how do we get our students to be very competent and literate in mathematics and understanding what numbers mean in addition to our core curriculum so we've been doing some work with that so I do not anticipate in another adoption, I wouldn't rule it out, but if the data shows that we are going to continue to need some of those pieces, then I would be coming back to the board at that time with some recommendations. >> Anyone else? >> Any other questions? >> No. >> All right. Thank you. Thanks, Rene. >> Thanks, public participation. Did anyone sign up? >> No one signed up. >> Thank you. There's no old business. >> Okay. New business. Good evening uh to our October 9th uh meeting. Uh
029we have four items of new business uh this evening for the board to approve. Uh our first one is uh number one is recommend the motion to approve the following out of state field trip as shown in exhibit A. >> So moved >> second >> discussion. >> It's a boys basketball out of state uh trip they do every year. Correct. >> Okay. >> Call the role please. >> Mr. Swift. >> Yes. >> Mr. Hagen. >> Yes. >> Miss Humphre. >> Yes. >> Miss Krepco. >> Yes. >> Mr. Ryan. >> Yes. Number two, recommend the motion to approve the fally truency agreement as shown in exhibit B. >> So moved. >> Second. I brought this to the board uh just just for I guess the the point just to let you guys know that this is
030a recommendation that I think is good for based on truency, chronic absenteeism. Truency is a big deal in Stark County and our superintendent meetings over the summer. We basically have a hard time with a small pocket of our population that uh just uh needs to be a little extra nudge or needs to be held accountable. And but there's uh so in this agreement uh Canton City Superintendent Jeff Talbert said, you know, obviously there's a much higher need in that district uh for a prosecutor to kind of dig your heels in with the judges. So he just basically stepped up and said, "I'll pay for 50% of somebody to deal with truency. Is there any other districts willing to divvy up a portion of this and as you can see in there, there's five other districts
031I think um on there. Um then um our board attorney, Mary Joe Slickton, just broke it down into basically ADM of what your butts and seats are at a cost for us. So our cost for having a prosecutor to directly work with truency, uh we've already started. It's it's been really nice at the high school level with Mr. Travis uh with this is our cost. I think >> it's uh 10,219, >> right? So, it's a one-year commitment. Um I just know that the judges and the current normal prosecutors just don't have time. Basically, it's one of those things where truency is not on their radar. So, it's kind of like kids are missing a ton of school, a small portion of them, and they're just not being held accountable because they just don't have the
032time because there's obviously a lot of other crime and other things going on. So, this is just to try to get things pushed back together for us. >> Get it focused on that. >> Correct. >> Okay. So, they hired an assistant prosecutor and is it one prosecutor dealing with all? >> Yes, just with those districts right there on that page only. So, Canton City and >> Alliance localian consistency Louisville and Marlington. So that's a combination between Alliance, Canton, Fairless, Lewisville, Marlington, and then Canton Cities hitting the bulk of it. So those are the districts that >> as superintendents, we kind of the smaller districts, Alliance, Canton local, Fairless, Lewisville, Marlington kind of are in the same boat. We're not seeing what Canton City sees, but we're also seeing a significant number enough where we're just
033not being done. There's nothing that they basically saying, listen, this isn't they're small potatoes, but this holds them accountable. So, I will give you an update uh probably in the spring with exact numbers and then we can make and make a decision if it's even worth even bringing back at all for us. >> So, >> perfect. Okay. Call the RO, please. >> Mr. Swift, >> yes. >> Mr. Hagen, >> yes. >> Miss Humphre, >> yes. >> Miss Krepco, >> yes. >> Mr. Ryan, >> yes. >> Okay. Third one is recommend the motion to approve the following transportation and l agreements for the 2526 school year. >> I so move second. >> Any discussion? >> Uh this is normal. We kind of add these when I get them for transportation in L. So last year's transportation
034in L was $583.86. The state sets the things. The Department of Education Workforce as of July 1st, 2025 has set it for this year and I have that also on the board agenda for you guys to see at $67.15. >> Thank you. Call the RO, please. >> Miss Humphre, >> yes. >> Miss Krepco, >> yes. >> Mr. Hagen, >> yes. >> Mr. Ryan, >> yes. >> Mr. Swift, >> yes. >> And our fourth one is not a recommendation. This is just a uh the uh first reading for the board to review the policy resolutions that we reviewed last night in the work session. >> And that is all for new business. >> Okay. >> Excellent. >> Measures agenda action. I'd like to recommend that the board of education approve the minutes from the September 26th
035regular meeting. >> So move. >> Second. >> Any discussion? Call the role, please. >> Mr. Swift, >> yes. >> Miss Krepco, >> yes. >> Mr. Hagen, >> yes. >> Miss Humphre, >> yes. >> Mr. Ryan, >> yes. >> Um, the next item is a correction to the minutes. Uh, it was something I just discovered today. Um, so it'll well it'll be evident in the recommendation. I recommend that the Marlington Board of Education approved the following correction to the minutes for the September 26th, 2024 board meeting and which is to correct the amount of the donation resolution 151.24 from $5,000 to $2500. So move second. Okay, Mr. >> Ryan. And yeah, just um this was related to the donation we received from the U from Tony Frell in memory of his brother Joe Frell who raised
036the money in the golf. Um might remember the donation uh was check number 20181-5331. Uh I'm not sure why I had the wrong amount in the minutes. Um, >> but um it's 2500 instead of 5,000. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Call the RO, please. >> Mr. Swift. >> Yes. >> Mr. Ryan? >> Yes. >> Mr. Hagen? >> Yes. >> Miss Humphre? >> Yes. >> Miss Krepco? >> Yes. >> I'd like to make a recommendation that the board of education approve the financial reports for the period ending September 30th, 2025 as presented. So moved. >> Second. >> Provide a couple highlights here. [Applause] We finished the month of September with a total balance of 11,727,28041 of which in the general fund we had a balance cash balance 9,354,37047. 7 cents. The permanent improvement fund balance is
037$656,49128. The capital projects fund um balance is $785,791 and 1 cent. And if you notice with the capital projects fund, if you're looking at the financial summary report that's provided, it shows an unencumbered balance of only uh $1,6321. I know it came up last night when we were talking about the forecast. We have the bond payment that's due this year. Um that's the difference between those two numbers is it's that bond payment that brings it down. Do we have additional I can't remember um off the top of my head. Do we have additional property tax payment coming from the pipeline? >> Yes. >> It just hasn't arrived yet. >> Correct. We received that in uh two pieces. >> Okay. >> So, um yeah, actually we we received half of that roughly uh just I think
038just last few weeks. Okay. So, um the other one will be in the springtime typically. >> Okay. >> And uh of course we'll be then um probably come on the board agenda for the transfer if we follow what we've been doing. >> Okay. Um also if you look at the check register it was presented just a couple to to highlight there. Uh, we had to purchase new cafeteria terminals at a cost of $12,540. That just had to do with the computers being old and not being upgradable to Windows 11 to have those features. So, that was replacement we weren't planning on, but really had to be done this this year. Um, also to a company called Secur, we had, maybe you've seen it, uh, there's a new door that was installed with a security fob
039between the administrative offices and the middle school. The cost of that was $4,800. Okay. It >> Yes. >> Okay. Thank you, Bob. We will. >> All right. Um, call the roll, please. >> Miss Krepco, >> yes. >> Mr. Swift, >> yes. >> Mr. Hagen, >> yes. >> Miss Humphre, >> yes. >> Mr. Ryan, >> yes. >> Okay. I'd like to recommend that the board approve um the donations for the month. >> I so move. >> Second. Can you read those, please? >> I will. >> Okay. $5,000 was donated from the Alliance Elks Charities to assist homeless and impoverished students at Marlington. $2,000 was donated from the Alliance First Friends Church to support the 222 after school program. >> Nice. Thank you so much. >> Okay. Call the RO, please. >> Miss Krepco. >> Yes. >>
040Mr. Ryan. Yes, >> Mr. Hagen. >> Yes, >> Miss Humphre. >> Yes, >> Mr. Swift. >> Yes. >> The next item I would like to recommend for approval is the budget and revenue revisions as presented. >> So, second discussion. >> Yes. Let's see. For October, we had the following revisions in fund 499, which our is our state grants fund. Um I have an additional amount of $43,453.38. That's um related to a couple things, but it's the fiscal year 2026 career tech equipment grant, like the portion of the coding lab and stuff that we're paying this year. adding that in or receiving this year and and paying out then um and also uh BWC grant that Mr. Avanich obtained uh to upgrade some cameras in the district in fund 551. Um it's actually eliminating the budget
041amount that was there. That's title three grant that's uh no longer being funded, federal grant. Um, and just a quick aside, not to get into the weeds too much, but with the kind of the climate with the funding and budget changes and everything going on, um, I think we may see some more of that kind of like u I don't want to unfunded mandates, not not the quite the right word, but we might see some lower funding in certain areas. not just the big picture things like we talked about last night, but just smaller ways where it's like, okay, surprise that you still have to do that, but it's not funded anymore. Um, the next item is fund 572 adding $12,352.70. That's for the McKini Vento homeless grant that we received. >> Okay. >> Thanks.
042>> Great. Uh there's also one item on there too. If you see it's in a different color, $30,000 in fund $499. But if you notice that's in June. I think I had that in the like a wrong month in the earlier report that I gave you. So I wanted to make sure that that was recorded as well where it should be. >> Call the RO, please. >> Mr. Ryan, >> yes. >> Mr. Hagen, >> yes. >> Miss Humphre. Yes, >> Miss Krepco. >> Yes, >> Mr. Swift. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> I would like to recommend that the board approve the fall 2025 financial forecast as presented. >> So, move second. >> Okay. And just for background or of course for the public um this is what we what the board discussed at last night's
043um work session special meeting and uh one highlight I would like to add um is that for regard to deficit spending um the forecast as put together right now um provide provides us with a a balanced budget for the current fiscal year. And >> can you say that again louder, Bob? >> I will. Let me get the number though. I just have my old one here. >> Thanks, Dan. Yes, we are currently forecasting a projected surplus in this fiscal year which will end this coming June. $348,932. So, looking a little better that way. Uh, holding the line. I think I think um Ryan last night during the presentation commented on some of the the expense reductions that were made to offset inflation. and so on. Uh keeping us in the black projected for this year
044at this time. Um then subsequently in FY27, it's estimating that we will drop into a deficit spending situation of $547,000 roughly and then about double that >> new state regulations, right? With the House bills that are being passed. >> Yes. with under current law, that's what's being forecast at this point in time. And then as that continues, then fiscal year 27, two years away, um dropping to basically $1.2 million deficit spending situation. And um just to reiterate a touch of what I described at last night's meeting, it's important to to keep in mind this is just general fund that's reflected in the forecast. And it um the transfer out that we typically do, which is forecasted in here to take the pipeline money out of the general fund to a capital projects fund, that's considered
045an expense the way it's coded on the forecast, which plays into this deficit spending. So, you kind of have to look at uh both those funds together, which we really aren't doing with this forecast here. >> So, if we didn't move that pipeline money, there would be no deficit. >> Oh, well, you know, there's two ways to look at that, too. I hate to complicate it more. Um, you could say no. If we would not be def spending if you looked at just the forecast because that's, you know, taking over a million dollars out of the forecast as additional expense. However, that goes to another fund, which what do we do with it there? we spend it to maintain these buildings. So you add those two together, we are deficit spending. You know, it's but
046to keep in mind if that money were to stay in here, we may not spend that much on buildings and maintenance. It would it would be discussion for how are we going to spend our general fund money. So, I know that's kind of complicated, but if you really just keep in mind the forecast is just the general fund and um it'll help make more sense of it. So, anytime you need to to get the whole picture, if anyone, you or the public uh wants more information about what's in like the capital projects fund, what we're spending that money out of there for. Um same with permanent improvement. um let me know. I mean I want to make sure I do provide each each board meeting we did at this one as well too that financial
047summary which shows the cash balances in each fund you know so you have that information it's available but just if you or the public want more detail let me know I'd be happy to provide that so that um it's clearly understood where we're at. >> Thank you.

So our transportation coordinators we will be looking to replace that earlier in the year probably in January, February. So it gets some time to work a little bit of time working with Sherry uh to be prepared. That's quite a >> undertaking. >> It's quite an undertaking. Yeah. So So that's on there.
