004Mrs. Adams is going to read parameters. >> While you're on your way, just a reminder for community comments, we ask that you address the board as a whole through the president and not board members individually. Limit your remarks to three minutes. No extensions will be granted. When your time is up, you are to stop speaking. It is important to address any matter involving pending disputes, grievances under a labor agreement, disciplinary action involving an employee or a student, and ongoing labor negotiations. The purpose of community comments portion of the meeting is for members of the public to express viewpoints and public concerns. Hello board, my name is Aza Shanklin. I'm a parent of TRA ELC and Madison Park Elementary. So, my concerns today or my grievances more so were pretty much um with more so with
005Madison Park honestly. Um there's been a a pretty prevalent lack of communication of the chain in regard to some well in general but in regard to some matters. Um, even as far as like for upcoming field trip, I inquired about field trip, spirit week, um, with my daughter's teacher and a couple other things just over the year thus far and didn't get any kind of reply back or response at all. Um, it went as far as to having to reach out to the principal. Um and that communication just didn't feel very professional completely up the chain. Um also just the organization of the school or organization across schools I would say in the matter of the field trip specifically what I inquired about was chaperoning which I've done since my daughter was in kindergarten at
006the ELC which has never thus far been a problem. I've always just paid associated fees and gotten there in my own transportation which is completely fine. Um, what was more so concerning to me this time was when I asked about it, it was told to me that to keep down confusion, they wouldn't be accepting um, chaperones, which I didn't necessarily feel was a clear answer. Um, and I didn't understand what the confusion was. And in light of like other events happening in the school district recently, I felt like there could have been a more clear communication there so that at least I understand what's going on. Obviously, some decisions are made with rationality, but I felt like it could be more clearly communicated what was going on there. Um, even in regard to asking the
007teacher about little things such as spirit week, it was told to me to, I don't know, call the front office. So, there wasn't any ownership taken there, which kind of stood out to me because, you know, we're just all working adults and that doesn't always fly at work, you know what I mean? Um, so that was that was more so my concerns there. um with my son. He's at the ELC right now. There was a situation where um he had an incident in August, late August, where he got hurt on the playground and there wasn't much communication given there either or a lot of clarification on what happened or any kind of thorough looking into it even. So that was concerning for me. So pretty much just communication across the schools has been a concern
008for me. So, that's pretty much it. >> Okay. Thank you for that information. I will um I will follow up with the principal at Madison Park and and someone will be back in touch >> shortly. >> And yes, I'm I'm familiar with that. >> Okay. >> All right. Thank you. >> Thank you. Thank you. >> Next on our agenda is the consent agenda. Subject a approval of life touch first place spirit wear and American income life commission checks for Westbrook Village Elementary. >> Yes ma'am. B is student activity purpose statement and budget um MH uh functional class TMHS for 2526 school year approval to accept donation to TMEA to Madison Park Elementary and I need a motion for action on the consent agenda. Are there any questions? >> I need a motion. >> Second. >>
009Okay. Mrs. Adams has been moved to second. Will you call the role, please? >> Yes. Mrs. Kilgore? >> Yes. >> Mrs. Simmons? Yes. >> Mrs. Carrington? >> Yes. >> Mrs. Cherry? >> Yes. >> Next on our agenda is the treasures report. So, I have um tonight on the agenda the approval of the financial forecast. You heard a presentation about this last week. I did send an update to the board yesterday. We we um I worked with our consultant at K12 Consulting. We made just a few tweaks to that. It certainly didn't change the overall outcome of the forecast. So, I did um attach that in the executive tab and I also provided a paper copy to you. So, I am asking for your approval of the financial forecast this evening. As Mrs. Adams has stated,
010she has already presented the the forecast. Are there any questions? So, I need a motion to approve the financial forecast. I motion to approve the financial forecast. >> I'll second. >> It's been moved and second. Mrs. Adams, will you call the RO? >> Yes. Mrs. Currington? >> Yes. >> Mrs. Kilgore. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Simmons. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Cherry. >> Yes. >> The other thing on um under the treasures report tonight is just for your information, the approval of the September 4th, 2025 work session meeting minutes and the September 18th, 2025 regular meeting minutes. So, those are in your folder for review and we can approve those at the next meeting. And that's all I have for tonight. >> Okay. Next is our superintendent's report. >> Thank you. I only have one item this
011evening and it is the personnel agenda and I do want to apologize to the board for not sending it last week. I uh I was omitted off of an an email there. Uh we have some folks out in in the HR department. So, uh it it's really no nobody's fault but mine. I should have made sure that um that I had that I had the personnel agenda, but I did send it to you earlier today. And um there are really no um I would say uh I don't want to say the word alarming but really nothing outside of what uh what we have procedurally throughout the year resignations uh additional supplementals math teacher and the additional excuse me additional supplemental appointments. So, um I I am asking for action on this this evening, but do
012understand that um I did not get it to you prior. I'm sorry, I'm trying to read some of it, too. Did not get it prior to um to get it to you guys prior to last week. get it to you. Last week, I'm sorry, not prior to last week. This is current. Do you have any questions? >> No. >> I need a motion to approve the personnel agenda. >> Almost. It's been moved and second to approve the personnel agenda. Mrs. Adams, would you call the role? >> Yes. Mrs. Simmons? >> Yes. >> Mrs. Kilgore? >> Yes. >> Mrs. Currington? >> Yes. >> Mrs. Cherry? >> Yes. >> Motion passes for personnel agenda. Item number five is discussion items and updates. >> Okay. I have several items that I was asked to provide information to today
013this evening. if you grab your your folder that I've provided. Item A is the agricultural partnership uh with Central State University. Uh Mrs. asked me to provide some information on the A partnership and what I could find if you look on in your folder under item A was the initial article or an initial article with regards to the partnership uh with Central State, the city and including the school district. And this is from 2018. Um, upon my research, I've I've had some conversation with um with folks from the city and Central State left the the the center back here, the uh Trotwood Center back here. They I think they left in 21. So, we really have not had any dialogue in regards to this partnership. >> There has been a lot of turnover. And I
014think the the lady that you see on the picture, I think she was two presidents ago, >> Maybe two presidents ago. So, >> the um the the development of that program and and the communication and the uh conversation that was taking place with the city and ourselves over the last several several years uh kind of disseminated a little bit. But what I will say is that we have just started some conversation with Central State again on a couple different things and I I'll follow up on one here shortly and we can do and we will do our due diligence to see what happened to this to this program and what happened to the partnership. I I know from uh just thinking about thinking about it retrospectively nothing really formulated. I know they had the space
015over there. I know they started doing some things and then COVID hit and it just kind of kind of withered away. But as far as the partnership that was supposed to be established between ourselves, the city and Central State through this program, nothing is current. I've also had conversation with uh with Mr. idea who is uh pretty prominent in the Central State Alumni Association and he's going to make some outreaches outreach to see you know what you know what happened but as of right now that program in the essence of I think what what we were trying to find out Miss Cherry does not exist. >> Okay. Right. >> Yes sir. >> Dr. Okay. So, uh we we are on it. We're trying to find out, you know, basically what the you know, what the
016uh the content of that was, you know, between us here. Most of us weren't in these roles, so we really don't know what, you know, what that consisted of. But Mr. Dir is going to uh he's going to reach out and and I'll bring an update back to the board. >> Okay. Thank All right. All right. The next item is item B, which is an update on CCP. And let me get my computer back up. I'm sorry. So, in your folder, you have a email from Mrs. Hey and the other counselors at the high school with regards to where we are currently with our CCP enrollment. There are currently 47 students participating in CCP courses. There are two meetings scheduled on October 13th and October 15th. uh the number was uh over 50, but there
017were a few of the CCP students that went to Miami Valley CTC who we do believe are taking CCP courses at CTC as well. So, we'll we'll get those numbers. And she also informed me that and and she put not, but it's actually offering those other courses with um with the intent to increase the enrollment as we move into the second semester. So, as of first semester, there are 47 kids taking CCP courses. And I think three or four of them, maybe three or four of them are on track to possibly obtain their um their associates degree >> uh simultaneously with their um with their high school diploma. >> So, we got some kids making some strides. >> Absolutely. >> Mr. Howard, um I do sit on the CTC board. We'll see how many travel
018students are in college. That's great. >> That'd be great. I appreciate it. All right. Next, I was asked to provide a update for RAM Pathways. In your folder denoted C, you will see there are currently 96 students enrolled in RAM Pathways. There are four or five additional students that are slated to move uh once we get the um the additional laptops. 15 are restorative. Those are students that are assigned for uh disciplinary consequences in lie of suspension. Uh 14 are multimodal. Those are some students that are in both. They're they're they're on virtual and they're also coming into into the um into the building. and we're going to start bringing those kids into the building probably next week and they'll be doing a couple hours here. Those are some of the kids that were um
019that were not as engaged as we needed them to. >> So, uh in in response to that, we are obligating them to come into the building and spend some time with Mr. Stone and our and our other staff member there. What's the staff member's name? The new She's so new. We we Yeah. >> Yeah. We we'll we'll we'll we'll figure that out and let you know. And then there are 35 accelerated students that those are the students that have shown uh the ability to manage themselves online without much u oversight. So they are doing uh the program and moving through the program on their own and they are not going to be required to come in. And that's where you get the acronym RAM restorative accelerated and multimodal >> and multi >> multimodal. >> Okay.
020>> The previous Ram Nation. >> Yes. Yes. We changed it to RAM pathway. So we have those three different pathways for kids kids that are uh having some some trouble during the dayto-day. uh kids that uh may want the virtual experience but have not shown the ability to manage it on their own. And then 35 students, accelerated students that are doing um doing what they need to do with regards to the virtual experience >> question. >> Yeah, >> I was just going to ask when you said um that the students will be coming in Mr. Stone, >> what does that look like? So logistically, we are going to run a a bus route to pick up students in shifts. And we're looking at at about two to two and a half hours per shift. So
02115 to 20 kids. We got a space in the back that we're utilizing. This current >> I'm not gonna say anything. >> Uh we got a space in the back. We we've got it set up as a classroom. Uh, and we are um hopefully going to get that started next week hopefully >> because we got to get the bus we got to get the bus >> situation and the uh the pickups worked out. But they'll come in two hours. We'll take those kids home. We'll bring another group in, pick them up, take those kids home, and then our bus drivers will get back on their on their fleet run at the end of the day. >> Okay? And then all of those kids will have the opportunity to work themsel out of >> okay >>
022of coming in through that um through that blended learning, >> you know, model if they if they show and prove what they um what the expectation is. But you got a group that's doing what they're supposed to be doing online and you got a group that's you know and then of course you have another group that is you know that we're using utilizing the space for in lie of suspension or exposure. >> Okay. >> All right. Miss Simmons if you have a question I'm sorry. >> I'll ask later. >> Okay. >> All right. The next item is >> we're gonna start. We're going to change the we'll change the heading to Miss Cher's list. That's what >> I'm going to do two. >> No, no, you you do as many as you need. The next
023item is D. It is the mental health case load. So what what I was a what I would ask the board is to give me another couple of weeks as we're still finalizing those case loads and I work with Mr. Nadier to just settle on where we are. We're still doing a lot of transition the new contract changing changing uh providers. So once we get all of that information I will provide the board an update on those those case loads if that if that's okay. How can >> I get the contract? which contract >> the the contract for the mental health services. Okay. That that's the premier contract which is now >> what what they changed their name to >> behavior, >> right? Samaritan behavior. And they've they've changed their name or their billing through
024something else. So we um we approve approved that one early in the summer, but it may have a different name now. So, we just need to make sure we we pull that. But remember, all of these the majority of this is paid through Medicaid billing and the wellness dollars from the state. So, the majority of these students, most of them, that money does not hit the general fund. >> All right. So, we'll get those contracts and update update you guys. But I know we have a a case load, but when I looked at that request, I wanted to make sure we had all of that all of that current and up-to-date information prior to bringing it to to you guys. All right. >> Okay. >> All right. And E, the last item is labeled will
025be labeled E and it is a followup from the Dream Big Tours. It was the presentation that I believe Mr. White brought to uh brought to the board. he um was he had some dialogue with uh Miss Howard over at the high school and he provided a a a a just a workup of what what those tours would look like. And if you you see this initial one would be uh along the northeast nor e northeast excuse me northeast pathway with uh Howard, Morgan State, Coppen State, Bowie State, American University and then some additional additional sites. But you see what that price is per student. So $7.95 which is a little steep but Not if they did a patron's list. >> H >> not if they did a patron's list. >> So we would have
026to have some discussion about >> be between 45 to 49 students for that price. >> Right. For that price. So the lower it goes the higher the higher the cost. >> Right. But it's not the price isn't bad for me. >> Yeah. And and I I think we are >> every time is that much. >> Yeah. I >> I think we are not saying that it's it's not anything that we we can't we can't put out there and get out get out to the kids. >> We're just we just have to gauge what you know what that interest is and how many kids we can get, >> you know. And then there was a there was a Southeast trip as well that he quoted at $799 with attendance to Alabama&M, Clark, Atlanta, Morehouse, Spelman, Tuskegee,
027>> Montgomery. Alabama State is is not on there, but Alabama State um and that was $7.99. >> And then they provided a just kind of a sample itinerary >> for what, you know, what that would look like. And we used to do something like this very similar very similar to this when we took the eighth graders to Washington DC >> and we are um we're working on trying to get that back as well you know because that was a that was a standing trip that we had for kids and we found over the last couple of years we just couldn't get the we couldn't get the interest because of the cost. >> So again we'll we'll get it together. We'll we'll advertise it and put it out there and we'll we'll see what you know
028what what the interest is. Now what we do have to understand is that there is a date that a cut off date that we have to have this so they can reserve all this so they can get the tours booked, get the hotel rooms booked, etc. So I will uh put this back in the hands of uh of Miss Howard over at the high school and we'll see if uh we'll see if we can get some interest. Right. >> So, um, are the students and parents privy to this information yet? >> Nobody. No, I wanted to bring it to you guys first. >> Okay. >> Because uh what what will happen is he will he as in Mr. White will will likely come in and do a presentation to a group of parents >> and
029give them the information, put it all together, give them a brochure that outlines all of the tour sites, the itinerary, so on and so forth, and then give them the opportunity to u to select whether or not they're interested in more. >> If my memory serves me correctly, he said this was just for the trial students, right? It wasn't open up for >> just for I don't I don't >> what what he said what he did with this was for our key. That's right. >> But I I don't know. I mean >> tour might be fair. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This this markup was for for our kids working directly with uh Mr. Smith and Miss Howard over in the athletic department. >> Okay. >> All right. So, we'll follow up on that and I'll
030keep you guys informed. And that is that's all I have >> updates. No, it wasn't bad at all. >> Next on our agenda is the treasurer comments. >> All right. I um just wanted to share I over the last couple of days have received some information from OASBO, my professional organization, um as a report from Governor DeWine and his tax group. And so there are some it's it's a pretty lengthy report. Um but I plan to kind of summarize it in an email to you and send it to you just so we can keep up with possible possible tax changes and things that have already um had some action taken. So I'll be sending that to you. And that's all I have. Thank you. >> Okay. >> Next on our agenda is back to Mr.
031Albert. Any comments? >> Okay. I do have a few uh comments. the the first item and I'll make I will make reference to your folder again. The first item I have is the the information with regards to the celebration of life of the um the staff member the band staff member that passed away.

I guess that's what we say I can say from the McDonald's Corporation.

They forgot a whole section. So uh the guy came over and he

045grant, completely grant funded money, no general fund money, we purchased some exercise equipment for anybody in the district that is interested in using the exercise equipment. And we've got a little exercise room that we set up right here to the right. Before you leave today, you can stick your head in there and take a look at it. It's all pretty nice stuff, but I wanted to make sure everybody knows it's grant money. >> She was clear about that in her email. >> Yes, she was. >> So, so we want to make sure you get a chance to take a look at it. We we're working through the logistics of how we can get folks in and out of this building because this building is a little different than the than the than the school buildings
046because school buildings for the most part have folks there till 10 o'clock. This building doesn't. So, we're working on those logistics, but we're excited about that that um that that that facility. And, you know, it's small, but it's it's got some good stuff in there. And we're uh we're hoping that that will continue to help us bring our premium down, >> you know, because if folks are in better health, better condition, then >> the less we pay out for >> absolutely >> for health care insurance and more money we can save.
