001oh yeah test one two test test one two i do not i may be yeah i was surprised last year because they had the option again um so clearly four people okay yeah oh yeah that would be nice just a few people but no we did the summer program that was nice because i think they still have a meeting they did i'm sorry yeah no they were here before you did they had it in person with masks on good evening and welcome to the september 13th 2021 sylvania board of education meeting miss shanks can you call the role julie hoffman here bruce lonzki here greg feller here kimberly conklin here tammy lavalette here thank you please join us in the pledge of allegiance the flag is in fact i pledge allegiance to the flag of
002the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands one nation under god indivisible with liberty and justice for all okay that takes us to a presentation from you misshanks [Music] so there's so much going on with state funding i thought i would just break it down into small chunks and go over the middle so just to break it down in smaller chunks and that way when we get to the fiber forecast there's not so much information shows so the first part like just titled it part one because i'm gonna i'm gonna try to do this once a month oh i think she wants you there [Laughter] [Music] so the prior funding models um the last year we actually had a formula funded model was in 2018 and all the students were
003accounted for by the resident district so all the students that we had going out to to all of the other educate educating educate educating facilities and and school districts were reported and accounted by us and it was through a lot of labor-intensive communication between the districts and then we had this process of tuition being transferred in and out through the the state foundation payment system so there's over 600 public schools in the state of ohio and in 2019 approximately 140 were were capped districts and 370 districts were on the guarantee which means they weren't using the funding model at all so about 15 were actually funded using the the funding formula developed by the state so what it means to be a cap district slovenia was capped it means that once that once we put
004all of our particulars into the state funding calculator the district the state then decides that's really too much we can't afford to do that so we're going to cap you by a percentage and you're only going to receive a percentage of what you received in the prior year and then 370 were on the guarantee which means that their funding specifics meant that they should actually receive a loss of funding but because it was probably a smaller district they um it was too much of a loss in one year and they couldn't absorb that and would put them in a financial crisis situation so they were guaranteed to receive no less than they did in the prior year so very few districts were actually formula funded so this is just one of the reports that we
005we see um with this tuition in and out and it's just for community schools but there are four other components to this which includes um eduard scholarship autism scholarship john peterson scholarship open enrollment outgoing but this is just one and you can see it accounts for all of the students in the in the community schools it calculates for the opportunity grant this was back in 2019 k3 literacy special ed careertech and then provides that total transfer out but it's it it's 190 students that we we deal with through the ema system in order to account for as the educating district or as the resident district rather so the new funding formula which went into effect in july of 2022 is the fair school funding plan and what it did was it broke the funding um
006the cost to fund students into four categories or four components and those are direct classroom instruction building leadership and operations instructional and student support and district leadership and accountability about 78 of our funding formula goes to personnel which is a little bit less than what we actually have seen and then the other 22 goes into non-personnel so our base funding for the our base cost is 55 million dollars but that doesn't include things like special ed or ell population our gifted population our transportation piece this is just the base cost for educating students so that base cost and each individual district has their own total base cost per pupil in the past it was 6000 6010 6020 but our base cost is determined by our our capacity local capacity calculated calculation so in the past
007our share of state funding range anywhere from 2000 to 2300 um of six thousand dollars well now our total cost our total base cost per pupil is 7 361 for 2022 and our state share is 1700 per student and our local share is 5 600 which is which is more than what we have been used to in the past it does so the ohio school funding plan it provides funding for district educated enrollment so all those other pieces of the transferring out the students at the chart at community schools students at um receiving vouchers and scholarships traveling to other districts to receive education those are not calculated in our funding anymore so if you look at the the total enrollment enrollment versus the educated enrollment it provides the district educated enrollment for the last five
008years and if you'll see in fiscal year 21 our total enrollment was 7 900 students but we only educated 7 400 students in in sylvania schools and the biggest reason why that dropped was because of covet more more students were being educated homeschooled or educated online due to covet we do anticipate that enrollment will will rebound so what this looks like is the revenue impact from 21 to 22 we will expect to see less funded revenue however into the tune about 2.1 million dollars but if you look at this piece on the expenditure impact we're also going to be receiving less expenditures out and that's for the open enrollment and the community schools the autism the ed choice the peterson scholarship and that's a 3.7 million dollar decrease in expenses so even though we're receiving
009less revenue we're also going to have less expenses on the on the expenditure side and the wellness funding was was funded outside of the general fund and that's being brought back into the general fund this year so the difference is about 3.2 million dollars in savings in the cost which is a million dollar 1.1 million dollars in in additional revenue and we'll receive 16 of that this year in addition which is about 262 000 so that's what i have for the the first part of this presentation do you have any questions does anybody have any questions for lisa thank you lisa thank you lisa [Music] okay at least i get back there you go okay now we have a presentation from tom burnworth from the sylvania stem center wait are we playing games is that
010what you're doing robotics don't ask me to build anything tom that'd be great thank you [Music] well thank you so much school board for inviting me to come and talk about some of our programs i for those of you that i haven't met i've met a good portion of you up there but my name is tom burnworth and i'm the executive director at sylvania stem center the program that i'm here tonight to talk about is our engineering in the classroom program that we're working with slovenia schools on but before i get into that for those of you that i haven't met and that may not know sylvania stem center primarily we do robotics and other fun stem activities for kids first through 12th grade and and starting in fourth grade those robotics teams turn fully
011competitive and they they work their way through tournaments and and learn a wide variety of skills and that's what's got all of this started we started in 2011 and this is our 10th year and 11th season that we're going into with our teams and and as our teams grew we started to wonder how we could give the stem experience to kids that may not necessarily be involved on our teams you know not every kid has the drive to you know spend five six hours a week working on a robot but they would all benefit from hands-on learning and learning how things work together and and problem solving and so through that when we were thinking about that and and we got some input from slovenia schools uh i think maybe three four years ago and
012we developed the engineering in the classroom program uh it started uh at sylvan elementary we piloted it there in with i believe first second and third grade i think and through that we showed that every kid gained knowledge and stem skills through the program you know they gained a better understanding in programming they gained better understanding and problem solving uh and also on how things go together depending on which program we were running for them from there other schools wanted to get on board so the in in the folder that i have there um pretty quickly after we we ran the pilot at sylvan and we were working on next steps with slovenia schools uh whiteford ag across the border wanted you know heard about the program and and we started running it up there
013and we've been running uh engineering in the classroom program up there first through fifth grade for the last several years the following year highland reached out and wanted these programs for their students at the time we were unable to go district wide in sylvania and highland parent organization decided that it was uh it was something that they wanted for their students so we brought the programs into highland and and ran them in highland and they were you know the we ran it first through fifth grade and they were very well received the kids really enjoyed it and and the teachers welcomed it in the classroom everybody was really excited about that and right about then uh is when you know the whole world shut down and everything went on pause uh in the meantime we
014we've had a few superintendents and and as soon as dr motley uh came on board we reached out and started talking about starting the program back up again you know as soon as we could get back into the schools and and you know and so one of the big things was we wanted to make sure that dr motley wanted to make sure that all slovenian kids had the opportunity to have these programs and had the opportunity to experience this type of learning and uh so we put together a proposal and and um you know i think we have a really great partnership working with sylvania schools right now actually today was the very first day that engineering in the classroom started this year in slovenia schools so today we were in sylvan elementary in mr
015miss hatcher's class running micro bit and we were over at hill view and i apologize i wasn't at hillview so i don't remember what which uh programs they actually ran but i do know that the kids were ecstatic to have us in in the classes they were they were so excited to be able to uh you know start start uh working with the different materials and the teachers um were really happy to have us in there with with the materials and they were excited over the things but really this program it is about it is about programming it is about building and and all that but it's also about problem solving we're trying to show them a process that they can use for the rest of their life and a way to work a problem
016to get a solution and continue to work that problem until they get the result that they want and so you know in all of the things in all of the programs and all of the different things that we do that really lies at the heart of what we do we we we show them a process um you know that and you know it's generally in what we have we call it the engineering design process where they're identifying the problem they think about a solution to it they prototype or put that solution into action then they reflect on it did it work yes no and then they revise that and they can work that as many times as they need to to get the result that they want and really that's at the heart of not
017only our engineering in the classroom program but also our robotics programs that we do at the center and hopefully with you know the spark that we give these kids at the schools that will then lead them you know into looking into potentially a stem career or joining a robotics team to learn more about it you know and and when they come to us for uh robotics you know that's really where they really get immersed in in stem you know our our first through third graders they use little we do robots it's just one one motor couple sensors and they learn how to make it go and they learn drag and drop programming but it's really learning how things work around them uh you know the next level is fourth through eighth grade and they get
018a little more sophisticated robots those can run four motors and they can run four sensors and they have missions they actually have to accomplish also with that we really start driving home what we call core values and and that's what um really really uh stood out to us about the robotics um competitions that we joined so we um all of our robotics teams uh compete in a program or in a i guess program called first and uh so first think like first is like the nfl and all of us teams compete underneath of that and when and first there is a what they have or is called core values and that's teamwork inclusion innovation fun discovery and impact and that is at and and that is arguably the most important thing that we do you
019know they they have to they have to learn how to work together as a team they have to learn how to include everybody they have to um share what they've done right so there's there's all these things and that's what drew us to first as opposed to any other uh you know competitive robotics league you know because there are others out there but this is what set this one apart for us this is what drove us to this one and then in middle school and i brought some examples of our middle school robots middle schools where they start making robots out of things other than legos they they're using they start using hand tools and some shop equipment they're they're beginning to use cad and you know some of the different equipment and they can
020really make the robots out of whatever they want um you know and these ones are made out of plexiglass and aluminum and it's not the best display on the cart but you guys kind of get the idea and so these two robots both play the same game you can see they're clearly different in the way that they were designed two different teams and so that starts it and then our high school team is where it really turns into uh you know it's still competitive robotics but they build large robots 120 pound robots four foot tall they compete in arenas yeah and and they can use a wide variety of of um materials pneumatics is allowed they use you know industrial grade motors all of that uh and the full line of shops so they're using
021laser cutters and cnc plasma cutters their 3d printers the full line of shop tools everything so it transitions from just a robotic team to workforce development and so these kids can leave our programs and they can be competent in designing parts on solidworks or heading into a machine shop and they know shop safety and they know how to work these machines it directly correlates what we're doing here with what they can do out there they leave with real world skills in there you'll find a letter from cooper losing and he was one of our original team members and he talks about how what he learned on our robotics teams reflects as what he did as a junior in college for his engineering internship at innovative material over here in sylvania and and he was able
022to draw those those lines from this is how we solved the problem there and this is still how we're solving a problem here this is it's the same thing you know the machines get bigger and more expensive but it's the same process and so you know he was able to uh you know draw that or realize that and and uh kind enough to write a letter uh you know explaining that for us what i'd like to do now is i'd like to show you some of the materials that we're taking into the classroom so you guys can see what we're doing and and then if you have any questions feel free to ask and i'm just going to step in to say um good evening melissa romero your elementary director of curriculum and teaching and
023learning how excited i am that this initiative is in our schools we are in grades one through five we have students doing lego engineering from coding to robotics engineering with our lego it is amazing to see what this program is bringing to our students from across the grade levels they're in there their students are so engaged they're having fun they want to come back to school so the spark that i saw today was utterly amazing to have witnessed that what i really enjoy about the program is the core value alignment when we talk about our social emotional learning and the impact that it has these these things are not just creation and critical thinking but these students have the opportunity to develop their social emotional growth as well how do you do when something goes
024wrong and i think that this program is going to have bounds and leaps for the children in our community and for our students so i am so excited to have this here and what that they create i'm hoping i get a robot that makes my morning easier when it makes my breakfast drives my car and gets me to work on time so that's my that's my goal but i'm just so excited to for tom to show you what we're presenting and what our students will be creating thank you thank you melissa thank you melissa they learn to program learn the different chips what they do accelerometers they can see different things [Laughter] is machine so we'll bring in levers and gears and things like that for them to see then they use this kit to
025build those simple machines so they get the full understanding of uh how things work and how that simple machine is is helping them and this is also able to tie in to the teachers lessons where they're talking about force and friction and push and pull and things like this this drives that home to where they really understand what they're doing and then finally a little we do robots like i said they were just they're just these little guys not they're not intimidating their kids at all you know they they love it it's just got a little motor some wheels they make windmills and cars and then they use the sensors to try to not crash into things so it's fun you know they enjoy it and they're learning how to use sensors and put everything
026together any questions well thank you for your time thank you thank you very much thank you for that partnership very excited if i could share a few words tom i have to say when i first came to sylvania about a year ago you already mentioned it that you know i had this vision of how we could expand this for all students in our district regardless to what side of town they lived on and i wanted to say thank you to your team and your organization for not only partnering with us but making it a reality almost a year later we're here we're doing it and this is the first step i look at how we can continue to work together to help provide professional development for our staff and expand this type of innovative curriculum
027that will go on to support our children for years to come when i think about it now i was just mentioning to julie when i was in fifth grade i was braiding my baby doll's hair and now to know that they're like programming and and doing coding and things of that nature so much of what we do nowadays it's done by a robot you go through the car wash it's a robot the cash register's a robot there was a robot on a grocery store i mean there's so much out there so thank you for working with us and helping us to continue to grow and expand this program it is absolutely amazing and i just it's a win-win for everybody so thank you yeah thank you so much okay with that we are with you
028dr motley for the superintendent's report thank you miss hoffman i i'm not going to take up too much time tonight because we've already had two presentations i just want to let everyone know we're quickly approaching i believe mid-term of our first court first nine weeks how does that first nine weeks almost halfway through already um but our school year is moving along i've had the opportunity to visit several buildings a couple of volleyball games at one at arbor hills and also one at mccord that was a lot of fun um i heard this morning that our actually our bleachers will be arriving for accord very soon so in the gym we have that fabulous brand new gym floor our our athletes won't have to sit in folding chairs we'll have brand new bleachers to go
029with the new gym floor so we're excited about that also i've had the opportunity to visit with about five buildings thus far visiting schools individual staff meetings talking to our teachers answering any questions or concerns they may have about the direction of the district and also articulating a little bit more about our strategic plan actually next monday september 20th we will bring our lead team together for our strategic plan so we can continue that work to design a plan that will help us guide our future direction it's our road map it's our anchor of what we want to be and where we want to be in five years what programs look like from facilities to instruction and all things in between so that's my superintendent's report thank you very much this is the first opportunity
030for public participation for items which are on the agenda nothing okay seeing none we are back with you dr motley thank you miss hoffman i recommend item 5.1 the acceptance of gifts more specifically from usi retail and the gifts were donated to our technology department they donated a variety of monitors and printers and extra cassette paper trays i did think from my era that was like cassette tapes tape they're not they're they're kind of like the trays we use um like the boats that you get french fries in so yeah i don't know why a technology company would have those but nevertheless we need them we can use them thank you to usi for donating these items and i recommend that approval i'll move approval second any comments or questions thank you yes thank you
031very much miss shanks bruce lancelinski yes greg feller yes julie hoffman yes kimberly conklin yes tammy lavala yes thank you i recommend item 5.2 which is a memorandum of understanding between bowling green state university and the sylvania schools in regards to field experience placement this mou covers our pre-service teachers that are interested in becoming professional educators in the future i'll move approval i'll second any comments or questions misshanks julie hoffman yes tammy lavalette yes kimberly conklin yes bruce leslie yes greg feller yes thank you i recommend item 5.3 our school bus stops for the 2021 2022 school year i've learned from being in the district last year to make sure that the stats were cross-checked for sex offenders and my understanding from mr joe beck and ms debra mitch they did a check and a
032double check okay in that regard so i do recommend approval in that case i'll move approval i'll second any comments or questions thank you for checking that ahead of time absolutely misshanks julie hoffman yes chris lonzki yes greg feller yes thank you i recommend item five billy conklin oh yes [Laughter] thank you all righty i apologize michelle that's okay my computer's stalled sorry that's okay all righty item 5.4 i recommend approval for the american red cross facility use agreement this agreement is in partnership with the american red cross that they are able to use our school facilities as shelters for disaster victims if in something a case that something would go wrong a terrible a terrible tornado or where some of our residents may be displaced from their homes that they could use our facilities
033to provide support services as shelters food water things of that nature any comments or questions let's hope we never have to use this misshanks greg feller yes kimberly conklin yeah julie hoffman yes tammy lavalette yes bruce lonzki yes thank you i recommend item 5.5 an agreement with the sylvania sylvania stem center agreement to provide education in the area of stem curriculum engineering in the classroom more specifically for our students in grades one through five for the 2021-2022 school year i'll move approval any comments or questions i actually i have one are you planning to take advantage of the multi-year discounts or is that you know what we may or may not one of my goals curriculum-wise is to expand this program where we actually have a teacher in each building that will provide stem so
034we didn't want to get too far out in front of us before we would add it to our amp rotation which is art music pe i'm looking to provide a teacher in each building so it's not a one or two week lesson but it's something that's part of our curriculum that circulates all year long and that it builds on a continuum so you don't have to make that decision now correct i got it right thank you sure anything anybody else miss shanks kimberly conklin yes greg feller yes timmy lavalid yes bruce lutzky yes julie hoffman yes thank you i recommend item 5.6 to enter into a service agreement with sylvania schools and the northwest ohio educational service center board at this particular recommendation is to provide services for a hearing impaired classroom and related service
035for a hearing impaired student i'll move approval a second any comments or questions yes tammy lavalette yes julie hoffman yes kimberly conklin yes greg feller yes thank you item 5.7 i am recommending approval with the bottling groups llc this would be a five-year contract starting starting in july of 2021 although the machines have not been delivered yet um and thank you to ms lavalette for pointing out some questions and to be clear this will not impact sales of food for boosters or things that are in our concession stands this is only a partnership agreement with the customer which is also our site person cafeteria supervisor which was mr ray walston so for our boosters and parent groups who still want to go to costco and buy 40 bottles of water for two bucks they can
036still do that and sell it at the concession stands it is totally separate so i did clarify that okay thank you sure thing okay i'll move approval i'll second any comments or questions miss shanks julie hoffman yes tammy lavellette yes greg feller yes bruce lonzki yes kimberly conklin yes thank you i have a recommendation for an administrative stipend to be paid to one employee that for the 2021 school year this employee was an opc member under the 2021 school year and would have been entitled to a 500 stipend under our agreement i recommend approval for this individual i'll move approval i'll second any comments or questions misshanks bruce lutzky yes kimberly conklin yes craig feller yes tammy lavalette yes julie hoffman yes thank you i recommend item 5.9 the resignation of an exempt employee jill
037mackey effective 9 7 of 2021. i'll move approval a second any comments or questions ms shanks julie hoffman yes greg feller yes graceland slitsky yes tammy lavalette yes kimberly conklin yes thank you i would like to move into items related to human resources for licensed personnel on a consent agenda item basis or consent approval i recommend item 6.1 which is an increase in position for a teacher at central trail to provide intervention services for students items 6.2 are supplemental positions for the upcoming school year you'll see several at our high schools and our junior highs and at highland elementary we have item 6.3 which is a correction to supplemental positions for the 2020-2021 school year i want to double check that because it may be 20 21 20 22 school year i'm not quite sure
038i may want to table that when i'm reading that to make sure it's not a typo item 6.4 is a correction for licensed unpaid leave of absence for a teacher in our district item 6.5 is the employment of licensed employees for home instructors for the 21 22 school year item 6.6 i recommend approval for licensed resa mentors which is a resident educator program we are required to participate in this program by the state of ohio it is a mentoring program for incoming teachers that are brand new to the field item 6.7 are a number of substitute teachers who have signed up with us for the 21 22 school year thank you we appreciate it also item 6.8 we have a few resignations that took effect over during the month of august and early september item
0396.9 licensed cpi trainers these are teachers in our district that provide cpi sessions for our teachers throughout the course of the school year items 6.10 are a number of extra duty compensation for a number of activities that our educators provided from pd planning and preparation also kindergarten screening otez great accelerated grade acceleration testing which also could be early entrance testing for our incoming kindergarten students also our building leadership team meetings are on sala to provide special education instruction and that is on a semester i will share with you that you will see a quite a large number in hours that are articulated there we were having difficulty and still are having difficulty securing teachers to teach these students so we're practicing the same model that we did last year we have teachers that are on
040staff that are willing to teach additional students an additional class of students and this is what this is for now what we have decided to do with this particular group is just hire them for the first semester hopefully ut will bring us some more students from the college to hire and we will be able to hire additional instructors for the second semester of the school year and also we have a few other folks that are listed for pd collaboration cosmetology intervention etc i recommend item 6.11 for transitional work up to two hours for a sped transition for a specific student with disabilities that are that happens to be new to our district this year item 6.12 are additional hours for a preschool program and this is up to 37 hours for our preschool employees item
0416.13 is the consent agenda approval of items 6.1 through 6.12. okay and do you want us to pull out 6.3 i would please because i'm not sure that year is correct okay for the supplemental so 6.3 i would like to table okay so i can make a motion yeah okay so i'll move to approve item 6.1 and 6.2 in item 6.4 to 6.12 on a consent agenda basis thank you second any comments or questions misshanks bruce lotzowitzke yes kimberly conklin yes greg feller yes tammy lavalette yes silly hoffman yes thank you i want our records to be accurate i appreciate that um items 7.137.5 i am also recommending approval on a consent agenda item basis item 7.1 uh classified we have a number of individuals who are changing positions within our district either to another
042building or another position or combining positions item 7.2 we have a number of new classified new hires that will serve as district substitutes which will allow us to use them across the district and areas as needed item 7.3 we have a classified resignation of two individuals also item 7.4 we have additional hours of being recommended for approval to work in our cafeteria and also for some of our special education students to provide band support for individuals with disabilities item 7.5 looks at increasing a number of classified substitute hourly wages for the 2021 2022 school year and i recommend again as item point six recommend approval for item 7.1 through 7.5 i'll move approval on a consent agenda basis item seven point one through seven point five i'll second any comments or questions shanks julie hoffman
043yes jimmy lavalette yes bruce leslie yes craig feller yes kimberly conklin yes thank you item eight oh this is it no you're sure you don't want to so you want to delegate to the meeting right yes yes actually we voted on uh you have to go now you have to go to capitol conference just for this one again but we do need to recommend the delegate for the board to participate in the business meeting down at capitol conference this fall greg and aaron is staring at each other like who's going to do it since i'm not going to just get the nominees yeah go ahead what are you both going yeah all four of us are gone you know what the only person we're certain is going is greg all right that's true that makes
044sense and i'll be the alternate okay thank you okay we don't need to vote on that do we do no okay all right this is the second opportunity for public participation for items which are not on the agenda i know we have one call how do you want me to get this on here hello this is carol weigent speaking hi carol this is julie hoffman calling from the sylvania board of education hi julie hi i know you requested to participate in our meeting tonight so if you could just state your name and address and then the floor is yours perfect thank you so much well good afternoon everyone and thank you for letting me speak with you today my name is carol weigant and my address is 5228 westcroft drive i'm an alum of slovenian
045northview high school and wanted to bring forth some concerns to the school board as someone who attended sylvania schools not too long ago first i want to express the importance of including diversity equity and inclusion as a base within the curriculum students will be expected to work collaboratively collaboratively with many different groups and individuals throughout their schooling and their lives and having diversity and inclusion as a foundation to that learning will help them to do so successfully and respectfully additionally faculty and staff are tasked with teaching and working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and providing education and training materials on how best to interact with these diverse cultures backgrounds and abilities will help sylvania schools faculty and staff to be as successful as possible and working with students and parents that are from that are
046different from them and achieving slovenia school's mission of preparing students to be lifelong learners and engaged citizens as someone who attended the ohio state university i actually experienced a very large learning curve as it was the first time i was exposed to and expected to work collaboratively with people who were from very different backgrounds as me had diversity and inclusion been stressed more during my time with slovenia schools i feel as though i would have been better prepared to work with others in the college setting second i want to express the importance of educating the whole child with social and emotional supports in addition to the curriculum different students will require different supports and it's essential to recognize this so that each student can achieve the highest level of success possible i ask that slovenia
047schools provide additional supports to children who may be particularly vulnerable such as those that belong to racial ethnic or socioeconomic minorities as well as individuals with differing physical and mental abilities i ask that slovenia schools evaluate its success with supporting the whole child through an annual survey completed by students to determine what additional supports if any are necessary to help each student succeed thank you all for taking the time to listen today and i appreciate the work you do to help slovenia students achieve their highest level of success thank you very much carol thank you have a good day youtube bye-bye bye okay um jane munch much you just need your name and address it's jane malk 5227 summer drive the reason i'm here today is because i'm concerned about the masks my concern is
048that well what level do they really work when you touch them remove them pull them under your nose and these kind of things masks are not ppe they are not sealed against your face like you would have with an n95 where you would fit test them where you would be get medical clearance to actually wear a mask so if we're asking children to wear these masks they can't even see your faces i took a couple notes on some of the concerns you all have social and emotional growth was mentioned a couple of different times you talked about hearing impaired students these masks are impairing them and are they really working we need to have we need to look at what is really happening here i was thrilled to see the stem people i have a
049mechanical engineering degree from the university of michigan so i love the science and you'll notice when your masks are all gapped like they are or you've pulled them down to take drinks or your nose was sticking out or you pull them under your chin you know if we were really in an environment where there were toxins here you would not do that you would be like i'm never pulling that mask off but you all feel comfortable doing that so i'm concerned about our students that they're being masked and maybe they're students who don't want to be masks so i think it should be a choice if the children get a choice and i'm sure the families will be consulted on this those children who don't wear a mask should not be criticized harassed or ostracized
050we need to look at the science if you'd like to look and learn more about the science and how to help keep our community safe you need to consult with an industrial hygienist there's a great series out there on on the internet on rumble.com petty podcast p-e-t-t-y podcast just search on that i'm i really was hoping you guys would write that down because you you could help eliminate the virus before it got in front of a child's face by doing various things for your environment you can do things like add just extra clean fresh air open the dampers and and yes it's going to cost a little bit more money to heat the buildings but we're going to have clean fresh air in the buildings you can install devices that actually kill the viruses as
051they go through your hvac system so i hope you'll consider that and i hope you'll see how these masks are really a detriment to the children and they really aren't protecting them from a microscopic virus thanks thank you very much okay that is all so with that i move we go into executive session for the purpose of compensation of public employees okay so moved second there we will not be taking action following executive session yes greg feller yeah bruce leslie yes kimberly conklin yes tammy yes
