Already. All right, moving on. President's announcements. I just want to say welcome back everybody. Hope you had a great summer. Uh, I heard it's been a great start to the school year all four days. Everybody's in now, right? Preschool

Uh, and thank you to the staff over the summer, the maintenance crews, the uh, custodial staff, uh, the uh, landscapers and everybody cuz the grounds look great. The grounds keepers, the grounds look great. The schools look great. The auditorium looks phenomenal. I don't know if we're all done with it yet, but it looks it looks great so far with what they have. And, um, everything else that's going on. So, uh, the windows in the back by where the, uh, healthcare used to be, they cut into the brick. >> That all looks good. So grounds look great. Great job everybody. Um I had one other one other thing I had. I thought >> No, I'm going to ask uh Miss Groc to talk about an application we

003put in for the board. You want to just give a short? >> Um the application was for uh earning an award that is called the boards of distinction award. And in order to achieve that award, the board collectively has to have 600 points. Each person contributing at least 100 to to that. Um it was a really interesting process going through and seeing all that we do and where we're strong. We're very strong on um get gaining information that is getting rid of barriers to student learning. And we do a lot of things collectively which apparently many boards do not. So there was a lot of places where everybody was was uh gaining points. Uh in filling out the application um as I said 600 points was supposed to be the the uh the goal. We

004ended up with 95. Originally I had a little bit more than that because I misinterpreted one of the the categories but 905 it was. So we will be receiving that award at OSBA. >> So very very proud of our >> And how many did you mention how many boards have you found this before? >> Um so as I was looking at it we are the third board. There is one board that has done it twice because this is runs on on every two-year cycle. So we start gathering points again in January so that we can reapply as many times as we wish. I also learned in that process that the aptitude award that we all um achieved I think it's a two years ago now uh we can do every year and we should because

005that also helps with that 600 points. So 50 points >> that that if we do that every year >> two or three school >> that there were two that have have done it before us. one did it two years two cycles in a row. So we're number three 6 >> 10 11ish >> a lot. >> Yeah. >> Congratulations every great job. >> Good job. >> Thank you for everything that you guys do >> and every you know after going through that looking at that when through that meeting it's amazing all the different things that we get those points for and what we do for that. So thank you for putting that all together >> our natural dayto-day. >> Yeah >> which is a good thing. >> I don't have anything else. So superintendent announcements. Thank

006you, Mr. President. Uh just we're off to a great start. Uh happy to see the staff and the students back. Um everyone's excited and in good spirit. Um also like to offer a public congratulations to our very own Deanna Elsing, high school assistant principal on being named Ohio's assistant principal of the year. So we're very proud of her for her work and her leadership. Um and that's all I have. >> Thank you. Yeah, congratulations. All right, that brings us to superintendent consent agenda. Oh, no, sorry. Board member committee reports. Committee committee reports. Um, yes. Um, last Thursday. >> Yep. >> Um, Mr. Snyder and I met by way of Zoom with the county to um review the tax incentive review committee um reports from Mayfield Village and Highland Heights. And Scott is a much better

007notetaker than I am. So if he has any comments he'd like to make, but um every as far all of the uh the tax incentive review or tax incentives that are out there that are remaining uh they were all in compliance. So we're you know I guess that's the bottom line. So Mayfield the school district is still receiving the monies from the village and city that we're supposed to. So that's kind of the bottom line of it. >> Absolutely. And we found out that uh Parkplace Technologies is applying for an abatement, but they that we will be made whole as we have typically with all the other um abatements. So it's a nice win-win for um the city and the district. So and he is and Mr. Sass was absolutely correct. That is compliance piece

008is what we were there to to evaluate. >> Great. Thank you. Any other committee reports? Okay, that'll move us to the superintendent's consent agenda. A through double A.
