Motion passes for the consent agenda. Item
005three is the treasurer's report. Okay. I have several things this evening that I would like to present to you. Okay. So the first um item is um the financial reports for May. We did have a um finance committee meeting this evening with committee members Simmons and Currington. We did review about 20 reports. I have included those reports under the executive tab for you for your pleasure um to to read that read the entire report. So the first um report is cash reconciliation for May. Um the bank statement balance is 7,710,61524. We had investment balances of $19,653,472.72. We had outstanding vendor checks and adjustments that totaled um $99,736.34. If you add those together or subtract the 99 from 27, you will um get an adjusted bank balance that matches the district balance of 27,264,35162. The second
006report is a spending plan that comes directly off of the financial system or or meta system or USS as we we call it. And um it indicate and this is for through the month of May and also fiscal year year to date from July through May. And so you can see what we um received in uh May and what we spent in May as well as what is the total fiscal year to date of all of the revenue and all of the expenses. And if you look at the report all the way to the bottom, you can see um that we still are deficit spending $1.7 million for the month of May. And that um through the month of May is 3.31 $3.3 million deficit spending. So what that means is that we are spending
007more than what we received. And then the last report was checks over $1,000. Um the committee members did review all of the checks. Um there were no questions that I I had to answer um during the meeting and so I'll I'll um just wait for a few minutes and you guys can peruse the um checklist and if there's any questions I will try to answer this hour. This may be a little premature, but um or maybe you can share with us at a later time with the new state laws, how we going to manage our our spending. Yeah. So, we're still gathering information on that. Marlin and I talked about it today. So, um hopefully we can update you guys on the next couple weeks when we really know what's going on because it it
008is just all over the place, Mrs. Cherry. Okay. And so, we um we decided before we start talking and don't know the specifics, we would prefer to get all the specifics together and then update the board if it's your pleasure. Okay. Yes. Thank you. Okay. So I just need approval for the financial report from Okay. I need a motion to approve the May 2025 financial reports. Motion. A second. It's been properly moved and second. Miss Allen, would you call the vote? Mrs. Simmons, yes. Mrs. Kilgore, yes. Mrs. Currington, yes. Mrs. Cherry, yes. Motion passes. Okay. Item 3B is a resolution to approve the advances and transfer of funds for fiscal year ending June 30th, um, 2025. So, I'm going to go over these um very quickly um but I want to make sure that you
009guys understand. So, there's two columns. One one is an advance column and what that means is that um when we advance the money, we temporarily for five minutes advance it and then they pay it right back. So, when we open the open the um financial system back up in July, we then put that back on and so that that it's an outstanding liability. So all of those preschool, special ed, and these are all grants, title one, um different title ones, title four, and title two. All of those we are basically lending them the money so that um their account can be in the black. And so you can see the $2,600, the 43,000, 43, 39,189, 13, and 274 with a total of $68,140.91. we will be advancing those those so they so that the account
010can be in the black. The next column is transfers and what transfers is are permanent movement of monies. And so basically the general fund is um supplanting I guess I don't know if that's the right word but giving um or making those particular funds in the in the black. And so every year, and Alicia, you were weren't here last year, every year we have, since I've been here for 14 years, every year we have transferred $300,000 to the permanent improvement fund. And what that is is that the um it's a bond that we pass to pay for the auditoriums, natitorium, central office renovation, and that's through 2034. And um so we use that money to pay the um the principal and the interest on that particular um liability. The next one is food service. Food
011service. Um I have to I have to open this. Hold on one second because what I'm looking looking at is not the same thing. Okay. So what I've attached to the the board docs is the updated document. So I was looking at the the harder copy printed was the old document. So um and I'll go back. Well, no, it's this No, I'll go back. So the advances are a little different and they are indicated when I when I talked about the advances here. So the advances um the 6,6 $6,900 for preschool 82,000 special ed 43 for title one 133 for the disadvantaged children expanding opportunities 189 title 4 is 13,000 and title 2 is 92,000 that totals 562,18958. Then on the right hand side on the transfer column again the $300,000 to cover the um
012locally we call them LFIS locally funded initiatives. We um transferred will transfer upon your approval $300,000 to the food service fund. They ended the year um through June because we posted payroll. So they ended the year at a negative $280,1823 and so therefore by by transferring the 300,000 they'll start the year with 19,98177 Ohio Arts Council um these these two um get my notes these two um two grants uh were over spent. And so um and I asked why and the the reason is each building was scheduled for um the artist and residents and your the artists and residents did the mural at the middle school and they did um I can't read my way. They did other arts at the other buildings. And so that 5,000 that 3150 um is a transfer of 8150
013to um cover the the overspent spent grants. Um a lot of times the artists would um send invoices and they just underestimated what that artist and resident program was. But um everyone felt that it was money well spent um for that um exercise. And I'm not sure Marlo, was that part of this this also? Okay, thank you. And and it's a grant that we most likely won't secure next year, but this um the the the gentleman that came and had the that that was you know that was he was a part of that program. Yeah. that well but um we we did have a lot of engagement and a lot of you know a lot of opportunities for our kids to uh you know to participate in the arts and you see the mural work
014that we have you know have done but you know at this point you know with with us uh definitely tightening our belt you know those are things that we just can't you know can't afford anymore but um for this for this year and the same with food service and and and especially for the new board members you know food service is a reimburseable fund, but the the amount that the state gives us for reimbursement does not cover the expenditures with regards to to food service. So, you know, every year we're likely to have, you know, 200 or $250,000. But on the other side, it's that versus two or three million that some districts have to pay just for food because they don't get the reimburseable rate that we get. 100% of our kids are are
015are free and reduced lunch, but often the uh because they just reduced the I believe they just reduced the the reimbursement rate for meals last year again. So, uh you know, which we we we're scratching our head at, you know, constantly, you know, why are we reimbursing meal I mean reducing the meal cost when reimbursement when we know food is going up anyway, right? But um you know, we we believe that we Katie uh Miss Bae does a great job of of trying to trying to keep that cost down, but you know, every year you you you're looking at having to re reimburse that that fund just a little bit. I know I say a little bit, $200,000 is not a little bit, but you know, it is you know, compared to districts that don't
016get the rate that we get, you know, they have to spend millions in in food service feeding their kids. So you anticipate that rate going down again? It went down last year when the reimbursement rate. So the meal costs went up, but the reim reimbursement rate went down. Yeah. Wow. And we talked about that at the finance meeting this evening as well. But thanks for the explanation. Uh the next um two, the last two I should say are related to the athletic um fund. And this is not this is and not an anomaly. Um, we have had to do this um for for years and most districts have to um subsidize their athletic um program and really just looking at it and this whole thing about what the leagues and all of that and how
017far we have to go play and we don't have a lot of home games. the revenue has been really reduced a lot. And so these two line items um we had I wanted to bring in line um the first 17,625 that was related to the athletic event tournament salaries for the last three years and that's just cleaning up negative balances. And then the $75,000 um the athletic fund itself was negative60 and I I thought it would be best to have them start with something. So, their initial cash for FY26 will be 14,14154. And so, that total Oh, I'm sorry, I missed one. Um, last meeting we decided to um set aside monies to fund our roofs, buses, and asphalt. And so I would like to um transfer money over to fund 70 um so that
018we can have money sitting there to pay for that um the outstanding um expenditures. U Mr. Howard did send me the 20-year capital improvement plan and so that will support this $1 million. I asked um Scott Mays who's a supervisor um what was $1 million enough? He said, "Well, Jazz, that that's a good start." He said it would cost us about $600,000 for Westbrook Village roof alone. So he said um that's a good start. So So yeah. Yeah. So I mean there I mean if we think about our own roofs when they come out and and give you an estimate, you know, it's 35 $40,000 just for a house roof. So the um total here I'm asking the board to approve my um recommendations for to end the June 30th 2025 school year and the
019amounts that I indicated. So I need a motion to resolution to approve the advances and transfers of funds for the fiscal year ending in 30 June 30th 2025. A motion. A second. It has been properly moved and second. Will you call the roll? Mrs. Simmons? Yes. Mrs. Currington? Yes. Mrs. Kilgore? Yes. And Mrs. Cherry? Yes. Motion passes. Okay. So, um item item 3 C on item 3 C is a resolution to approve the amended appropriations for the period ending June 30th, 2025. And that is for this particular school year. And so, um this resolution covers all the expenses that we um have incurred um through through this particular school year. So, I'm asking for approval for appropriation of 59,626,446.78. And that does include all the funds from general fund all the way down to our
020federal funds, miscellaneous federal grant funds. And so, I'm asking for approval for that as well. I need a motion to approve the amended appropriations for period June ending June 30th, 2025. A motion. Second. It's been moved and second. Miss Allen, would you call a ro? Mrs. Currington? Yes. Mrs. Simmons? Yes. Mrs. Kilgore? Yes. And Mrs. Cherry? Yes. Motion passes for the approved amended appropriations. And the last item that I have is a resolution to approve a permanent appropriations resolution for FY2026. And so what this resolution is or appropriation resolution is the best guess estimate of what we think might happen um in in um FY26. So the total you can see is only 52 million. Um like I said right now the grants are not have not dropped in the federal grants. We don't know
021how much they're going to do. So Mrs. Smith Mrs. Smith Mrs. Adams and I decided we're just going to put in 10% less than what we received last year and then hopefully we'll get more. But that that was a starting point. And so all of this is just like I said estimate um of what I thought might be for FY26. So, I am asking for your approval to at least start us out with this $52 million and that includes all of the funds and then um as as appropriations are amended, the amended appropriations will come to the board for your approval. And like I said, it's the be best guess estimate than I I could do. So, I'm asking for your approval. See, we have any questions first. Questions? Do I need a a motion
022to approve the permanent appropriation resolutions for 2026? A motion. Second. Miss Allen has been properly moved and second. Will you call the RO? Mrs. Simmons? Yes. Mrs. Carrington? Yes. Mrs. Kilgore and Mrs. Cherry. Yes. Motion passes for the resolution to approve the permanent appropriations for 2026. And that is the end of my report. Next up is the superintendent's report. Thank you, Mr. Cherry. Um, I just have two items this evening. First is uh the approval of the public notice resolution to re-employ one instructional coach. This uh resolution is for uh Lisa Welton. Lisa Welton is our instructional coach at the early learning center and uh she along with those staff members, a couple of those staff members, the principal over there have been uh very uh prominent in um what we believe are going to
023be some um some outstanding u some outstanding and some outstanding information about the progress of our of our kids over at the early learning center. and uh Miss Welton, we uh have encouraged her and asked her to come back and help support us. She will not be working every day. She will not be working every day, but because of the statute, we have to go through this process. But, uh we are really excited about the news that we're our preliminary news that we're getting about our our first graders going to second grade. uh and we'll we'll probably have all of the data next um next next board meeting to kind of share with with the board. But uh Miss Welton has been very instrumental in in the fact that we believe preliminarily that almost 70
024to 75% of those kids second to third grade are going to third grade reading on track. And we are really excited about that. Really excited about that. So, we um we want to bring Miss Welton back and and you know uh have her back in the fold to help us continue that progress that we're making. So, I need I do need approval on that. Mr. Did you say third graders or second grade? Second. First going to second. These are first graders going to second grade. Thank you. Excuse me. I'm sorry. And the reason Mr. Howard again that we had to do the public resolution for this employee because she had retired. She retired. She was one of the retirees. Yeah, she was one of the retirees from last week and and in order for her
025to get back in the fold. Okay. We have to go. Now, she could wait several months and then we wouldn't have to go through the process, but because we want to get her back in the fold and she's agreed to come back and help support us. Okay. We want to, you know, want to get her back in the u in in the buildings and the classrooms and get that process going. Are there any questions? Then I need a motion to approve the public notice resolution to remploy one second grade teacher. Motion. A second. It's been moved and second. Miss Allen, would you call the role? Yes. Mrs. Simmons? Yes. Mrs. Kilgore? Yes. Mrs. Currington? Yes. And Mrs. Cherry? Yes. Motion passes. Thank you. The next item is the personnel agenda. I did send uh the
026board the updated agenda with the um the additional uh names for uh specifically science of reading and uh the question came up about event staff. There was a question about that and I wanted to clarify all of the event staff that you see on the personnel agenda, they do not work all the time. They work on an asneeded basis. If we have a football game, there will be more event staff. If we have a a low attended volleyball game, there may be only one or two of those individuals that work, but we get them all out of the uh out of the way in the sense of getting them approved early and uh we really monitor who works. Mr. Smith and his team do a good job of making sure that we are not overstaffed
027for those events. But that is why you see all of those individuals for event staff. Some of these people on this list will never work. Some of them will never work. their schedules don't work out, but they they express an interest and then we try to schedule them and then then they make a determination that they don't work. But that is why you see that large group uh for event staff on on the uh on the agenda. And then outside of that, uh concluding the science reading of training, you've seen those all year. Uh couple resignations and um couple new hires as well. And as we move through the summer, you'll see how, you know, and you guys that have been on the board for a while, you'll see how this this this agenda starts
028to starts to get robust as we move through the summer and head into the beginning of the year, trying to get everybody hired and get every everything staffed. And the science of retrading again is is reimbured to us by the state. So that is not money that we are that we are paying. That is money that is reimbursed by the state. Well, that was my question that I had about the event staff. So, are there any other questions? And you said the science of reading, we reimbured. This state reimbures us for the science of reading. So, we that is not a expense that the district incurred. Thank you. And I actually um have to upload this um spreadsheet that Mrs. Murdoch sends over and everything. Everybody has to be approved first and then um we
029send that um to the um well actually they're then paid and then we send the information to the state and then the state reimburses sends us sends us a check through the state foundation and June 30th Monday is the last day the state will reimburse us for the science of reading. All staff was supposed to be completed that are required to take the science and reading training. All staff is supposed to have it done by Monday. And I think we were about down to I don't know maybe 15 or so that needed to get it done. 15 or 20. And we're we're still working through that to make sure that they get get that training complete. If they don't, if they don't, then there is another process that we have to go through from the
030standpoint of um our um internal employee code of conduct because this is not a trial with Madison law. This is this is the governor of Ohio. Yes. And and and the state. So, uh they they've given us some some guidance on how to address address those concern those issues. Okay. All right. Any other questions? I need a motion to approve the personnel agenda. Motion. A second. Miss Allen has been properly moved and second. Would you please call the role? Mrs. Simmons? Yes. Mrs. Currington? Yes. Mrs. Kilgore? Yes. And Mrs. Cherry? Yes. Motion passes to approve the personnel agenda. Next up is discussion items and updates. All right. There were two um discussion items that I was asked to bring information to the board uh this evening uh in your folder as I as I provide
031uh to you guys every evening. The first I mean every board meeting I'm sorry. The first was just a general update on how summer summer school is going or summer program in a sense. Um I provided um document A which is a document that just gives a little information with regards to where we are. As you can see the expected enrollment from for K5 was 60 and we've got over 100 kids. Well at right now it's over 100 kids. I think it's about 101 or 102. Uh 68 expected enrollment was 125. We have 60 enrolled. uh inspecting enrollment for the high school which we were really excited about was 125 and we have 127 enrolled. The additional opportunities 23 enrolled in the Silven Learning Center. We're paying for that group through a grant and the
032graduation alliance summer credit recovery program. There are seven active students and five that are pending. And then on the second page, uh, which is some some news that I'm kind of excited about. As you can see, with the summer school program at the high school, uh, there were 139 initially registered, 111 of those reported, 16 more were added for the total of 127. As of now, 51 of those students have made up all of the necessary credit recovery courses and are back on track for graduation. And an additional 50 have recovered at least a half of credit so far. So, this speaks to that conversation we have at the beginning of the year and throughout the year about where our kids are as far as being on track for graduation. And and I want to
033uh I want to give the the high school, Mr. McCrae, his counseling staff, his assistant principles, Mrs. Murdoch and her team, I I want to give them a uh, you know, a big nod because our intent was to focus on those ninth and tth graders that were behind and those seniors, those 11th graders that that were um that that were off track by one or two here or there. And there we this data right here shows that 51% of them have got I mean 51 of them have gotten gotten back on track already. So, we're excited about that. And then there's a little other information about about uh what's going on at the middle school. Um the elementary program uh Mr. Briner, can you pull that that that PDF up? The elementary program, which is
034the um the champions program, has also provided some information with regards to what's going on at the Champions program. This is our K K5 program over at at Westbrook that we partner with Champions with. So, in your uh binder, I've also provided you a copy of this. It's not in the same order, but that that is just a um just updates and copies of their newsletters that they sent home, copies of pictures and and some things that they've done over the summer. lot of interactive things going on over at the Champions program. We're we're really happy with uh with what we what we seen what we have seen so far with the partnership. Um they have their own staff. They have uh uh all of the kids 100 plus like I said 100 kids over
035there. They go on field trips. I went over there one day and I had to I had to change my mindset because it was it was so loud and I'm used to going over Mhm. during the school year and hearing a different hear hearing a different volume level. But I remembered to myself and I had to remind myself, Howard, this is summer camp in a sense. You know, they are doing some they are doing some engaging and some some instructional activities, but they're also having fun and and and we want to uh we want to make sure we highlight that and kids, you know, kids still have those opportunities to have fun and have some engaging activities. Their staff has been doing a good job. So, I wanted to make sure I shared all of
036this information with regards to the Champions program and what's going on over there. Each grade level has um in in your in your folder, they have a uh a newsletter that you'll see and they have all the activities that they um that they've done. They've gotten with the fire department. They they they've done a lot lot of good stuff over there. And again, there is definitely an academic component to help support uh that summer learning loss or as they call it, summer slide, but they're also doing a lot of fun things uh that are are keeping the kids engaged. All right. So, that is a copy for you guys. Um, you'll pro probably start to see less and less color as we start to we start to start to save money. But I said because
037these pictures of the kids were so nice, I said I'll make this one in color. But that's going to cease here in a little bit. And the uh the next item item uh under discussion items would be identified as uh B in your folder. It is the just a summer calendar of events for what's going on here in the district with us as uh you know as we hit July. Uh July is June we settle down, we close things, we start planning July we really start ramping up and and and start putting things in action. As uh as you can see the um the 23rd through the 25th all of the district admin administrators will be attending the professional learning communities institute in Indianapolis, Indiana. It is a uh it is a uh conference style
038institute that we're taking our taking our admin team to and it follows up with the the PLC training we had two weeks ago here in the district and we're really going to push hard on the implementation of professional learning communities and the expectations that we have for our administrative team and our staff here. Uh with regards to that our district administrative retreat is going to be on the 28th and the 29th. New staff orientation is going to be on the 30th and the 31st. Um on Friday the 1st of August, Montgomery County Educational Service Center has their their um county kickoff where all of the districts will be meeting and there's a legislative update and things that are just going on in education as a whole and it's usually about it's usually about half a
039day and they serve lunch. The second is the back to school bash. Uh the back to school bash right now is scheduled from 11 to 2 and this year we're going to have it in the high school. We're going to start promoting that high school gymnasium. Uh if it's night nice we might have it out on the high school complex. Just depends on what things are are looking like looking like as far as the weather's concerned. But we're still continuing to work through that. But uh the second scheduled from 11 to two convocation is on the 5th. convocations on the 5th and that's usually starts at 9 and go from maybe 9 to about 10:15 10:30. It'll start with breakfast at 8. Uh then we got district PD days. We got our safety meetings, safety
040training and building building trainings. And then the 8th is a teacher work day. And the 11th is the first day for kids. Kids will be back on the 11th. So, I wanted to make sure I put a calendar in you guys' hands so you can just see what's going on. Uh, we'll probably start sending a lot of communications out to families as we start hitting in July, reconnecting with them, uh, letting them know that, you know, before you know it, we'll be opening our doors. But, uh, July 1st is when when we really start we start ramping up and getting ourselves ready to go. And those were the only two updates discussion items that uh that I had to see. I do have a question back. Are we going to sort of um have like
041counselors and available for enrollment? Yes. Yes. Uh traditionally we have had um we've had community vendors, we've had um all of the buildings will have a table. Uh guidance counselors will be there if there are any questions. Uh and and when I say vendors, vendors that are not selling things, but but community resources, let me let me Yeah, let me say that. Our community resources, the library, the city, uh public health, all of those folks are um have already been invited. This is the first year since I've I've been up here that I'm hands off on that because that has always been my thing. But, uh, I've turned that over to somebody else and and they'll probably take it and and and run with it at this point because it's a good group, a good
042team that's working on it. But, uh, yeah, it's it's always a good time. The band will play and, you know, we'll have we'll have food. Folks will come out and we'll give them a ticket. If they go to their table, they have to go to their table of the the child, the school the child attends. If they go to that table and ask questions, they get a ticket. That ticket is usually good for a free meal. Slice of pizza, hamburger, bag of chips, and a pop. And uh we'll do that. Um we'll do that this year. We're going to do it over at the high school. And my other one last question that I have is about um the freshman academy. So Mr. McCrae and I talked the other day because he actually called me
043because he wanted to bring a guest speaker in. I can't remember the exact date. Okay. But it is it is happening and I will get that I will get that from from him. It it's usually that week before the when the when the staff comes back. Okay. So the staff comes back on the 5th. So it's usually that first week. But I will get I will get that information because he and I just talked about trying to uh find a small amount of funding for uh the guest speaker that he wanted to bring in for for his freshman uh for his freshmen that are transition. So, I I will send him a text and I'll get that information to you and shoot it to you on what that actual date is. Do you think it'll
044be one to two days or It's usually one day. Okay. Yeah. It's usually one day. We bring them to the high school. We feed them. They stay till maybe around one. Okay. One or two. Uh walk the class schedules and and last year I think we even invited some parents. Parents came and did uh you know did the tour and walk with them. Yep. But yeah, it's usually one day. No, I know. I think maybe a month ago or two months ago, Mr. Howard, there was a preschool open house. Do you know if we how how well that Yeah, I don't I don't have the numbers on on that yet, but we did have our preschool open house. Okay. Uh I can get those numbers, too, just to see who's registering. Right. As of um
045as of last year, we still had a um a small waiting list. Nowhere near where it had been. Okay. but um a small waiting list. But I I'll get those numbers and see how many we have registered. I had a couple Kenya Wanda families that attended, but I'm not sure if they got in or not. Okay. I will find out find out what our registration look like. All right. Any treasurer comments? Um I don't have any this evening. Okay, back to you, Mr. House. Okay, real quick. I just have the um I have the calendar for the um 2526 board meetings. Um that is attached, not attached, but it's on your folder. I just wanted to make sure everybody had a copy of that. And as Miss Allen stated earlier, just to kind of reiterate,
046you know, what uh what we talked about, you know, with that whole House Bill 96, we we are still in the process of digging down and trying to figure out what that means for for tribal Madison City Schools. Every district in the state of Ohio is trying to figure that out right now. And the one caveat that hasn't been discussed yet is that the governor still has line item veto power. So, it's out of the state house. It's out of the senate. Now, it has to go to the governor. And there are some huge lobby groups that are um putting some proposals and and some and some plans together to try to to reach him. We we don't know, you know, what what his thoughts are. He may be for it. He may be against
047it. Who knows? uh the the governor past has has done some things surprisingly to benefit public education, but you know, we don't know in this day and time if he if he still has that same mindset. So, we'll see. And once that happens, once it comes back from um from the governor, then we'll we'll know what the actual legislation is and then everybody's going to be working to try to figure out how how that affects all of us. Other than that, um hopefully uh we we have some good news uh here in the next couple of weeks and we'll we'll talk about that a little more with regards to our negotiations and we'll we'll share that a little share a little bit more information with you guys about that. But um that's really it. We're
048moving along. It is already July. Unbelievable. We've been out of school a month plus a couple of days already. Before you know it, it be Christmas. Yes. Starting back early this year, isn't it? It's It's about the same over the last couple of years. I mean, last maybe 10 or 15 years. It's usually about that second week of August. It's my custodians always just they're pulling their hair out because, you know, it used to be the first week of June, you know, but now it's now we they're going early in the middle of uh middle of August these days. So, got to get those buildings together. But moving fast. Anything else, Mr. That's it. That's all I got. Okay. Eight board comments, Mrs. Currington. Um, but we don't have a crowd today, so I still
049would like to thank all of the staff for the hard work and the great job that they're doing. Um, I think when we go over our summer programs, the amount of students that have um enrolled and that are really getting something out of it, it shows that if we put the work in, the results will show in our favor. Um, I'm just so excited about the work that we're doing together. And it's something different when you work together. you get the best results. And I think our students are starting to show that and I think our district is starting to see that. And I hope we just I hope we just continue to work together in a positive manner that is in the best interest of the children. Um just kudos to everybody who's been
050working hard to get our students ready for the real world and I'm just so thankful. Um and it's just it's just amazing to be a part of this. So thank you. Thank you all. M skill girl. Um I don't have many comments today, but um I hope everyone is enjoying their summer. Okay, Vice President Simmons. Um I would just like to um from our Troutwood Madison school um community um send condolences to Shamana Julianne and the young man that they lost. Um we have been there. We know how that feels. So, sending positive um thoughts and warm feelings to the Shamanad Julianne community. Um again, uh congratulations to our high school for rec recruiting so many students and getting good results this summer. Um that's something that we were really striving for and I think
051we um hit the mark. um 50 having 52 students on track that is commitment to Mr. Cray and his team and his staff over at the high school. Um the champion program at the elementary level um it is nice um in the summer you should be learning and it should be fun all year round but happy to see that going on here in our community and just hope everyone is enjoying their summer and staying safe. And I think that's all I have. Okay, thank you. Um, I too want to send condolences on the behalf of the Trotwood community to the Shamanat family and community. Um, such a tragic loss. So, our condolences. Um again kudos to um the students who have taken the initiative to um move forward in making progress um credit recovery high

Um, also just hats off to the summer program, the research program. I was reading through some of that and it's just remarkable what our students can do once they have been introduced. So kudos to them. Um, and then I wanted to just tell the parents, don't wait till the last minute for enrollment. Um, get ahead of the game um, and start being prepared for um, the upcoming school year. As Mr. Howard said we're almost in July, so we are rolling.
