Um, I know we've obviously past superintendents have been great on there and and they have a stake in the district, but um, I'd like us to have someone who's either a board member or employed by the district. And so, um, I reached out and I think Mr. Piper reached out to Jeff Schultz, um, great leader within Troy City Schools and he's he's interested in serving. So, um, I'd like to nominate him, but I'm open for any other discussion. you know, obviously board members are on other committees as well. So, um, and, uh, if anyone else has interest or anything like that, feel free. >> Do we

This one's a five five-year term. So um it's it's a good board. I used to be on the parks board, which is kind of like a sister board to the Rex board. So, um, something
014to think about the next 12 months on on what we want to do there as well. >> Mrs. Davis, will you remain on the Hanner board? >> Yes. >> Mr. Reic, >> are you okay with those being? >> Yeah, totally fine. Levi and I will both remain on the Upper Valley Career Center board. Our terms are not expiring and per Mr. Piper, we do not need to send someone to Troy Foundation. >> We need an to name an alternate if Mr. Reick cannot do be the delegate for OSBA. >> I'm happy to be his delegate. >> Okay. The alternate in case he can't make it. Okay. Mr. Rice, >> Mrs. Davis, >> yes. >> Mr. Whitehead, >> yes. >> Mr. Ric, >> yes. >> Mr. Fox, >> yes. >> Mrs. Packard, >> yes. Next, we
015have board kitty. Board committee presentations. Mrs. Davis, anything from here? >> Yes. So, the uh they did get the numbers from the holiday open house. They had roughly 800 people show up for their holiday uh open house, which was fantastic. That's a lot of people to get into the door for the community to see what the hanger does and what it supplies for the community. Uh they are still working on their house maintenance up update. They are going to be replacing the wood around the entire building and it's going to be painted in April. All of it is going to be paid for by the friends of Haner. they did decide to go back to moving their meetings. They were monthly and we decided that wasn't enough because the connection wasn't there. People were losing
016momentum. So then they did push it back to a monthly meeting uh on the third Thursday of each month at 4:30. There's also discussion uh with some custodial issues. There are no issues, but but we have people retiring, so they're going to be shifting some people around to fill those gaps. They kind of have an idea, but they haven't confirmed anything yet with these people. And lastly, this year is the 50th anniversary and there's going to be a variety of events. Uh, a 2026 committee has been formed. As of now, there is a Golden Jubilee Ball. There's a summer event, which I'm not sure what that is yet. It's just a family event and a Christmas event, but I'm assuming there will be more to follow. >> Mr. Fox, Upper Valley. >> Uh, yeah. So,
017we had a great meeting in December as we always do at Upper Valley Career Center. Um, had a a dinner prepared by the culinary arts staff there. Um, fun time before the meeting. Um, and then we went into our regular meeting. We reviewed the applications for um upcoming school year. Uh once again, uh another record year, 852 applications, which it's it's a record, but it's only seven more students than we've had in the past. However, if you look at it on a percentage basis, there were across all of our districts 150 less sophomores to apply like uh for the candidate pool. So, um less 150 plus 7 was was really a good number. Uh good move in the right way. Um once again Troy as typical led the way uh with students up there uh
018with applications. Troy had 169 students apply. Pitwell was followed close behind at 166 and Sydney was 124 applications. So um students will be finding out shortly if they get accepted to their first program or their second program. Um and then uh what what do they want to do uh after that. So, um, full house again up there for this upcoming year up at Valley Career Center. >> Thank you. Next, uh, the best part of the night. Um, we have students from Concord Elementary School presenting to us tonight. >> Hi guys. >> Hello. I'm Mr. Hake. I'm Dan Hake. I'm the principal at Concord Elementary and would just like to first of all tell the board thank you for all that you do to support us at Concord and our kids. Um, one thing one of
019our big goals is to make sure that our kids are involved as much as possible in the school and there's many ways that they get involved in the school from student council to newspaper club that we have now and then also board game club. So, we have a fabulous instructor at our building, but also for the district. We have Mrs. Wendy Grim. Mrs. Wendy Grim is in charge of the English language learners for the whole district. Um, she's our coordinator, but she's also housed at Concord Elementary, and she also takes on many different responsibilities um for Concord. So tonight she's going to share a little bit about her responsibilities, but we also have some fabulous kids here tonight to talk about the different programs that we have and how they get involved in our school
020and how they support our school in many ways. >> Great. Thank you. >> So, as Mr. Hick said, I'm Wendy Grim. Um, I am the ELLL coordinator for our district, but I also do student council and newspaper and board game club. And I brought some students with me tonight. All of them are involved in student council. Um, at Concord, you have to be elected by your peers and there's an application process. Um, and they help run all of the events that we have at our school. Um, and then a couple of them are also involved in newspaper and board game club and some other activities even um that I'm not in charge of, but some awesome activities that they're going to tell you a little bit about. Hi, my name's Regina Moronz. I'm in Miss
021Sver's fourth grade class. I'm involved in student council. I helped in the first grade movie night and my job was checking the tickets. I enjoyed being in the first grade movie night because I made a friend while checking the tickets. My second activity was also a second grade movie night which my brother was in. And my job there I helped and my job was to make sure no one gets beyond the boundary line. I enjoyed being I enjoyed being in this group because I helped some with someone I helped translate from English to Spanish with someone who barely knows English. And thank you. >> Thank you. >> Hi, my name's Isabelle Jenkins. I am in Mr. class third grade. I am a member of student council. We meet once a month before school to talk
022about plans and ideas to provide fun experiences for the rest of the students. For example, we host movie nights for all of the students from grade kindergarten to second. I helped with first grade game nights where I collected tickets and I passed out snack bags. I am I am proud of how willing these students are to help and I am thankful for the opportunity to speak with you today. Thank you. >> Thank you. I'm Ava Grim and I'm in Mrs. Downing's fifth grade class. I am in student council board game club, newspaper club, the future begins today, and something that I call math club where I help first graders with math during intervention time. For the movie nights, some of the jobs you can do are help make sure people are settled in and give
023people some snacks for the movie. I like newspaper because you can get to find an actual article that you wrote in a real newspaper and you can even have lovely Mrs. Grim into the newspaper. Another thing I liked about this newspaper was that you can write about anything. And what I wrote about was Harry Potter urban forest experience where I wrote about my experience at this experience basically and I love helping people and that's why I'm in future vegans today math club and student council. >> Thank you. Hi, my name is Lucas. I am in Mr. Mercer's fifth grade classroom. I am uh I am in student council and um I've helped out with the second grade movie night and the book fair bank sale. Um the movie night. Uh we just helped out. I
024helped out with uh what humid finding stuff and make finding people's spots and make sure nobody gets out of the boundaries. And I enjoy being in this group because I get to help out with the things that you really remember the lower grades. Uh I'm also in board game club. My favorite game is exploding kittens. My f I enjoy this I enjoy being in this uh group because I get to play more game with people and I love reading Mrs. Grim and uh I am also in newspaper. This is uh where you can draw pictures, take pictures and create puzzles and articles. I enjoy being in this group because the puzzles and pictures I've taken and drawn are really fun to make for the newspaper that we finally printed this year. And my last two
025activities are recycling and my fifth grade buddy job. In my fifth grade buddy job, uh I go to Mrs. toys classroom for about 20 minutes of recess to help out during math class. And in recycling, we have two shifts, uh, Friday and Tuesday, uh, where we take all the bins from the big upper fifth and fourth grade part all the way down to the other end where the dumpsters are. Uh, and I help out on the Friday shift. We got a we got a pretty amazing group here and like I said, one of our goals is to try to get students involved as much as possible in the building and this is just a little bit of how they get involved. Um, we got many different responsibilities with some of our older kids helping our
026younger kids and it's by choice. It's not something that we are ask forcing them to do. They're volunteering and they're wanting to sign up for these different assignments to help our school in many different ways. So, thank you for the opportunity tonight. We got great kids here. I don't know if you have any questions, but they're also prepared to introduce their families for you, too. >> I have a question. How many times a year does the newspaper go out? >> Um, at least four. Um, I try to do one every month or every other month. >> I love that there's puzzles and content from the kids. That's exciting. Where do you guys get your ideas for the newspaper for what you want to write about? You just like do it up like you can just
027draw pictures about the season >> or like puzzle up maker is the website we use to make the puzzles and basically you can really do anything. It's real easy. Just got to think >> okay >> about the whole thing. >> Thank you. You could also look up any type of like not commonly known thing that some people celebrate in that month or season and you can also write about that in something that you recently did. >> That's an interesting idea too. >> Once I even wrote about how to make a perfect ginger house. So you can also write instructions. The list goes on and on about what you can write. Do you guys want to introduce who brought you here today? Friends, family? >> Go. >> I brought my mom and dad.

Um, we did receive our next round of buses uh in December. That payment will be going out uh later here in January. Um, so that's not reflected in these financials quite yet. >> How many buses was that? >> That was three buses. >> So, are we up are we current on our bus orders? >> Yes. as of right now. Yes. The next order um we don't anticipate those until sometime next school year. >> And those the >> that'll be for another three. You always those are always in the five-year plan the budget but the pricing net doesn't get locked in
031until we purchase or when does the like until we receive it >> will get locked in once we issue a PO. >> Okay. And um what because seems like things are always going up. What's kind of a timeline of when we can issue a PO? Can we issue future POS for future years and lock in pricing now? >> As long as they are okay with locking in the price that far out. Um there's usually a bidding cycle. We participate um in the Southwest Ohio EPC bid process. They handle all of it. uh that they um collect information from the various vendors and then you um base your order off of those base cost and then any additional options that you choose as a district get added in on top of that base bid. So >>
032So everyone in that EPC pays essentially the same price >> bid out there. uh we can utilize I can't remember off the top of my head how long that's good for. It's good for usually a handful of months at a time >> and then they'll issue another So they'll have a few bids throughout the year and it's correct. You lock choose that pricing and lock it in. >> Yes. Sometimes um those base bids will get extended for another few months from time to time, but they the EPC controls that process. >> Have we ever seen them go come back in the last five years? Is anything ever come in lower than previous? >> Historically, it's usually extended for one period of time and that has varied from probably three to five months. So, sorry I
033meant as a the next bid when it comes has it ever in the last five years has it ever been lower than the previous bid? We've never seen costs go back down. >> No. >> So, it's >> lately. No. Yes. >> Got it. That's what I expected. >> As long we usually um our first question is um if we were to participate in this bidding cycle, how long how far out? And then we kind of determine because we try to take delivery of three buses every school year just so we are keeping up to date on our fleet. >> Thank you. >> Yep. >> There any other comments, questions? Mr. Price. >> Mr. Fox. >> Yes. >> Mr. Reic. >> Yes. >> Mr. Whitehead. Yes, >> Mrs. Davis. >> Yes, >> Mrs. Packard. >> Yes.

Motion to approve. >> Thank you, Mr. Edict. >> Second. >> Thank you, Mr. Fox. >> This document does reflect the what you approved uh last month based upon what the budget commission proposed to us in reducing the two bond issues. Um and all those numbers have been updated within this document and ready for submission. >> So this includes the property tax. >> Yes. >> Thank you. >> Yep. >> And the latest figures from county auditor's office themselves. Uh they know with our board meeting being so early in the month, they work on our district first. once they get that information back from the state
036and entered into their system. So I have numbers to put in the document. Everybody else in the county you they submit their document and they change it afterwards. >> Okay. Is there anything else going on at the state level that may impact us for this next uh so so sorry I guess the the property tax was that a that we did approve last month remind me is that uh calendar year or school fiscal year >> it's calendar year right >> it's calendar year >> so it starts in Jan it's all 2026 >> fact the tax bill that is to be mailed out soon >> okay >> by the county auditor Okay. Is there any updates uh proposals going on in the state house that may also affect us in 2026 like that this soon? >>
037No, it will not affect us until uh 2027 2627 school year. Uh we're still waiting on how uh some of the legislation that was uh signed off on by the governor and approved by the house and senate how they're going to um handle the inflationary aspect limitations um which will affect us somewhat with our increased value and being at the 20 mil floor. Um, in fact, the county auditor's office has received no information. Um, and when they do, they're going to have to do adjustments. So, if people pay their tax bill in full once those tax bills go out, uh, there will have to be credits issued, things like that. So if anybody comes in personally to pay their tax bill, they're requesting that they only pay for the first half >> six months. >>
038Yep. Or if they call in and ask. That's they're going to be their comment to them. We're just asking for first half payment because there are adjustments coming. We don't have the information. We can't tell you, but when we do, there'll be information. Uh they've also made a posting uh on their web page about it and there will be also a slip when the tax bills do go out recommending to the taxpayers that they only pay the first half knowing that there's changes coming. Um when's our next fiveyear forecast? Is that not till May? three year sorry three plus one year forecast >> next month. >> Okay. So, so you'll roll in at least the the 1.6 million uh hit that we took that >> although although that doesn't affect the forecast because the bond
039issues aren't part of that. It's general fund only. >> What about does it get added back down at the bottom of it? >> No. the the bond issues. >> Yeah. >> No, they are it's a debt service. It's O2. They're not included in five-year forecast. Five-year forecast only deals with the general fund. >> Okay. >> Any any information we get between now and me bringing an update to you in February um would be as if we hear anything from the bills that were signed off by the governor. your plan. >> We're hoping we get some information, but we've heard nothing to date. >> Yeah. So, your plan >> that would that could >> if you don't if you don't hear anything, nothing's signed off. You're not going to make any changes from your standard uh
040forecasting. >> We've been given no information yet and it would be a shot in the dark. >> Yeah, that's fine. it it will go in the notes that we anticipate changes and if and when we do get the information we may make an adjustment to the forecast at that point >> once we have time to >> decipher what we're told and know the true effect. >> So the forecast now are going in February and October. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Yes. They've moved them back up, especially the second one. Moving up drastically. >> Okay. >> I mean, there's not a lot that happens typically between October and February. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> So, >> yeah, I guess if after the February one, if there is a big change, it'd be nice to see a delta
041forecast even if you right. >> Share it with us, >> right? if it's not large enough to maybe take board approval, but it's important to keep >> Yeah, even as an FYI. >> Yes. >> Yeah. Thank you. >> Yep. >> Thank you, Mr. Price. Please call the role. >> Mr. Reic, >> yes. >> Mr. Fox, >> yes. >> Mr. Whitehead, >> yes. >> Mrs. Davis, >> yes. >> Mrs. Packard, >> yes.

It's exhibit F. >> So move. >> Thank you, Mr. Ric. >> Second. >> Thank you, Mr. Fox. This is a result
042again with the uh resolution of approval of the changes being made by the >> this includes the reduction in mills. >> Yes. Yes. Which will collect fewer dollars. So we had to reapprove the rates from earlier approval.

A couple things I do want to highlight for you. So, at the top, um, we'll see the retirement of Irene and Buzz. I like to say some nice words about people that have been here a long time. I don't think I could say it as well as she did. So, I'm going to read to you what she sent in her email that she sent notifying me of her intent to retire. So she says for the past 33 years she has taught three different drama classes, three different levels of speech, two levels of English n and many various iterations of senior English. And this is really the part
049that struck me in 14 different classrooms in this building. >> Jeez. >> So she's finishing up her 33rd year here at Troy High School. Very thankful for all of those years and that dedication to the students in Troy. The other thing I'd like to highlight, Tony Thomas, uh you see that we're accepting her resignation pending being hired as the administrative assistant if you recall from last month. Uh Rachel said um moved from that position up to pupil services. So this is a continued domino effect. Um and next month as long as everything goes well, um we have somebody that I'll bring for you to replace. So that's typically how that works. a little bit of time to get all the all the um otherwise pretty uneventful. Um I would just ask for you to approve
050and if you have any questions happy to answer it. I >> think it's fun to see uh Mrs. Clauser coming back as a substitute. >> She was back and then she had to go for some there was some things with her retirement account and now she's back. >> Oh jeez. >> Mr. Price. >> Mr. Reic. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Davis. >> Yes. >> Mr. Fox. >> Yes. >> Mr. Whitehead. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Packard. >> Yes. >> We do not have anyone for the second hearing of the public. May I please have a motion for adjournment? >> Second. >> Mrs. Davis. Mr. Fox. Mr. Price. >> Mrs. Davis. >> Yes. >> Mr. Fox. >> Yes. >> Mr. Mr. Whitehead, >> yes. >> Mr. Rick, >> yes. >> Mrs. Becker, >> yes.
