001the camera in case you're wondering. >> Said that got serious real fast. >> I'd like to call to order our meeting of the Tory City School Board of Education. Please rise. >> I aliance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Thank you. Mrs. Vorchers, >> Mrs. Davis >> here, >> Mr. Fox >> here, >> Mrs. Packer >> here, >> Mr. W >> here. >> I would like to observe a moment of silence for longtime Troy High School football assistant coach Tom Massie, who passed away on July 30th, 2025 at the age of 74. Massie was a Troy High School graduate and he coached high school football for 52 years, including 30 years at
002Troy. Thank you. We are going to start with board committee presentations. Mr. Fox. >> Uh yeah, at the career center this last month, um we heard another good report of a student placing at nationals in uh one of their competitions for their uh career. Um Taylor Clustermanman placed third at cosmetology nationals. So that was exciting. Um that's all students across the country go to these different competitions. Um so good to hear there. Um the uh treasurer presented on some of the budget changes in terms of u the new budget bill uh including as we know um the forecast will be a three-year forecast instead of a five-year forecast going going forward um at the career center not for sure how it is at Troy but career center the budget um that we were funded based
003on was based on one year in a rears uh in terms of enrollment numbers they changed that for at least for career centers that it'll be based on current year enrollment enment um and as our enrollment grows every year, we're always slightly behind there. So, that'll be a pickup um in terms of the funding we get from the state there. Um unfortunately, the state removed uh reimbursement of industry credentials. So, when our students uh go get their welding credentials or electrician credentials, uh we will uh the career center will pay pay them for it. Um unfortunately, and the state then would reimburse us for it. Unfortunately, now the state's not going to reimburse it. However, the career center is gonna still fund that um for the students. So, that'll be a hit to the the
004budget going forward as well up there. Um and then lastly, we talked about um the mega sites that are um improvements that are going to happen. Um one in Shelby County, one in Miami County. Um another presentation based on those. And uh the estimates lately are coming in that we heard were 9 to10 billion investments per site in each of the counties. Um and they made an important um fact about that is sometimes the investors as they get uh tax incentives or um >> abatements um that sometimes these investors will give a one-time uh pilot payment to schools or different um other entities who may abate the tax. So um something that uh the career center can look forward to there. Um hopefully uh it's a negotiation portion but uh something that they'll be considering
005as well with those sites coming up. >> Mr. Max, >> Mrs. Davis, >> uh nothing from the Hayner Cultural Center. Um as a result, they were meeting every month and they decided that we did not need to have monthly meetings. So they're every other month. So we haven't had a meeting since the last school board meeting. >> They're every other month. >> Yeah. I I Yeah. I mean, sometimes you go to meetings and they're 20 minutes long and you're like, we could have done this on email. So, it everybody concluded like we didn't and plus they're trying to draw in well to that point they're trying to draw in younger members on that board just to do some awareness and marketing and try to get the Hayner culture out center out into the community more.
006And the only way to do that is to get younger people. And they've reached out to two people and I don't know if I'm allowed to disclose those people, but they've reached out to two of them. One denied and then one accepted which is a young active member of the community. So, he will be taking a spot on this board, but the only way to do that is with to get younger people on the board, you have to have less meetings. >> You can't have them at 4:00 in the afternoon when they're 30 years old. It's just not effective. And then tomorrow night, we're having another heer levy committee. So, that's been every month, and that'll go on till November. So, because that levy goes on the ballot in uh November. >> Thank you. That's
007it. Thank you, Mrs. Davis. At this time, we will have a public hearing on the reemployment of Dr. Michael Moore. We are holding a public meeting on the issue of remploying Michael Moore following retirement under the school teachers employee retirement system in the position of assistant superintendent. Those attending this meeting will now be afforded the opportunity to comment on such proposed reemployment. Dr. Mor, was there anyone Is there anyone in the room that would like to address the remployment of Dr. Moore. Do we need anything else? >> Okay. Thank you. >> Next, we will have the first hearing of the public. For those that were here when Dr. Moore explained, this is the hearing of the public that is regarding anything on the agenda. >> Could I just point out that our previous when it
008came to the rear plan of Dr. Moore, that's a legal thing that we have to do. Have to offer that opportunity. So, that's why we did that. Um, may I please have a motion for consideration of the approval of the minutes of the regular meeting on Monday, July 14th? >> So move. >> Thank you, Mr. Reic. Second, Mrs. Davis. >> Mr. Price. >> Mr. Reic. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Davis. >> Yes. >> Mr. Fox. >> Yes. >> Mrs. P. Yes. May I please have a motion for the financial report attached and appropriated by reference as exhibit B is the July 25 SM2 monthly total revenue, monthly total expenditures, monthly ending balance, etc. for financial reporting. I just have a motion. >> Motion approved. >> Thank you, Mr. Fox. >> Second. >> Thank you, Mr. Rick.
009This month you also had the income tax settlement from the end of July. That table of comparison for the last three plus years there. Um if you look at our gross collections for this July and comparing it to the prior July, we are up a little over 47,000. Uh so that's a good thing that that continues to grow. Also uh in summary of fiscal year end um we finished the year adding a few dollars to our carryover balance um to the tune of about 650,000. Our days of operation totals uh just under 127 days and the voice strive to be around the 120 day mark. So we're right there. That's a good thing. Um we are also through halfway through our renewal cycle for our levy initiatives. Uh the PI levy and the 5.9 operating
010levy have both been renewed as Mrs. Davis mentioned earlier. Heer is on which we are fiscal agents for and they're a taxing authority for their operation of that facility because that was technically left to the Troy City School District. um they are on the ballot this November for their operating renewal and then later this fall we will start the process of putting our 5.8 renewal levy for the next five years on the spring ballot which most likely will be in March of 26 and that will get us through our renewal cycle. We'll have a couple years off then. >> Thank you, Mr. Price. Are there any comments or questions? >> Uh Jeff, anything large driving that 640k overage in last year? Um any expenses that maybe are going to roll from last year to this
011year in these first couple months or anything like that? Um we when it because of the lag time of bus purchase when we place orders uh it is now we're being told um and that's why it's on uh tonight's agenda for that next purchase cycle anticipate 18 months before delivery. Um so >> we don't it doesn't the books >> till till delivery. >> Um when we placed last year's order a year ago July we were supposed to have those by May time frame which we were once we got past the first year they told us we wouldn't have them in May. Um they did have three units on hand very similar to what we typically purchase. Um they had to add a couple options that we typically get. Uh so we went ahead and purchased
012those. So we actually did have an expense for three buses last school year >> as was forecasted. as was forecasted and we let the order that we placed a year ago, July, be this fiscal year's purchase because we anticipate and we haven't heard any further delays those being delivered sometime next month at this point in this year's. >> Yes, that will be this year. So the three that are on tonight's agenda will be three for the following school year because of >> 18month lag time. >> So that's school year 2627. >> Yes. >> Okay. Well, glad that glad that worked out and we were able to get them last year. >> Right. >> I was afraid I was thinking you might said maybe it was a bus rollover is what led to that surplus. that
013actually did not play a part in that. We just we've watched what we spent and did not spend on some things we were initially anticipating. So, that's a good thing. >> Okay, great. >> Yep. >> What's what what were those what's a bus what what was one of those buses cost? >> Uh regular route bus for us is just over $140,000. special ed bus is I think in the mid50s I believe. >> Oh, >> so yes, >> very pricey. >> Actually, I would have thought maybe over 200 or more. So >> that's what I was thinking. >> I think 150 was bad. >> They are several hundred,000 if you go electric or >> Yeah, >> hydrogen I believe is the other option. >> So yes, >> thank you. Mr. Rice, >> Mr. Fox, >> yes.
014>> Mr. Reic, >> yes. >> Mrs. Davis, >> yes. >> Mrs. Packer, >> yes. >> May I have a May I please have a motion pres and now Ohio Revised Code 5705.41 1 D1 provides that if prior certification of funds by the fiscal officer was not obtained before the contract or order involving the expenditure money was made, the fiscal officer may instead certify. >> Motion to approve. >> Thank you, Mr. Ric. >> Second. >> Thank you, Mr. Rox. >> Uh we had one from the junior high, uh a couple from athletic department, one for transportation, several from heir. Um, we found that issues with painter, they're not completing a wreck when they sign the agreement with their musicians that they go under contract on the date that they sign the agreement. So, we've asked them
015to put the requisition in when they sign the agreement because that's the date that the people performing use on their invoice and they won't change it. That should get corrected as we move forward. >> Thank you. >> Help correct that. >> Great. If I find the right person, it's usually Jeff. >> We're on. >> It's usually Jeff. >> Mr. Reic? >> Yes. >> Mr. Fox? >> Yes. >> Mrs. Davis? >> Yes. >> Mrs. Packer? >> Yes. >> Best part of the night. May I please have a motion for the superintendent report accepting gifts to Troy City Schools and expressing the thanks of our of us? Expressing our thanks. >> So moved. >> Thank you. Second, Mr. Davis. you are correct. That's part of the agenda. Um we get to thank our community for being supportive
016of our students. So you'll see donations in there ranging from $200 up to $20,000 uh to our student government, Astro Club, esports club, and the band. Um again, we appreciate all the support of our staff, students, programs. Our monthly total for August, $24,71849. uh in our fiscal year to date total 29,49410. So we appreciate every bit of those. >> I think the band had a had something last year last time too, didn't they? >> They did. I think donut sales were good this year. >> As always, >> Mr. Ric. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Davis? >> Yes. >> Mr. Fox? >> Yes. >> Mrs. Pack? >> Yes. May I please have a motion for the resolution to establish petty cash accounts for 20 2025 2026 moved >> second. >> This is an annual resolution and the
017amounts have not changed for several years >> and this is just for the schools to help. >> Yes. On hand just for emergency purposes and then obviously athletic department for the Please call the roll. >> Mr. Fox, >> yes. >> Mr. Reic, >> yes. >> Mrs. Davis, >> yes. >> Mrs. Packer, >> yes. Next, may I please have a motion for um technical changes to the policies listed in our agenda. This is to replace Deborah Turner is replacing Beth Marshall as the compliance officer in the policies listed. Make a motion. Someone interested in this >> second is there anything is that the only change to these? >> Yeah, the policy language themselves will remain exactly the same. The only change is Deborah Turner is replacing Beth as a compliance officer. We have pardon me two
018compliance officers, one female, one male. So, >> okay, >> Deborra's replacing Beth. >> Understood. Thank you. >> On do we have to have name a person or can you name a position? >> Name a person. Is that for most policies you're naming a person or is this these are specific with compliance? >> These are the only ones that I can think of where a person is named >> and we and we have to do that way. >> It's a legal requirement. It's because >> discrimination, harassment, federal federal law. >> I think everything else is position. >> Okay. >> And that's why this is considered just a technical change. It just doesn't require a second. >> Mr. Price. >> Mrs. Davis. >> Yes. >> Mr. Reic. >> Yes. >> Mr. Fox. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Packer.
019>> Yes. May I please have a motion to approve the 2025 2026 bus stop schedule? >> Motion to approve. >> Thank you, Mr. Davis. >> I didn't notice any big changes in these. Try to keep kids on the bus as little as possible, but you know, we have routes to run. So, >> I mapped it all out. >> Did you string? >> You driving these things? >> Giant map with strings. >> I thought maybe you were just going to start taking a route. >> A visual. A visual would have been way more fun. I love maps. Like this was like just keep scrolling. Like if there would have been a drawing, >> that's actually the way it was done when I started. >> Have we had to add stops, take away stops? >> It happens
020every year, but there's just, you know, little tweaks here and there. >> Yeah. As kids um graduate out, as kids come in as kindergarteners, stops get added, but um >> And new subdivisions. Yeah. But our transportation department does a nice job. Um they do use software to help with this, so it's not starting from scratch. Um we will when we redistrict we'll have to start from scratch and you know that would be an undertaking but we'll we're not there yet. So >> and if I could just add one more thing. So um once the school year starts that's when we actually time the routes. So this is this is our most educated guess on routes stops etc. Um parents are still actively filling out the back to school forms that indicate do I need bus
021transportation or do I not? And so this is again the best educated guess that we have. Um once we get going then we time routes and there are some minor adjustments. So you might see 15 minutes this way or 15 minutes that way. Um but that's that's kind of the process. >> And sometimes for some reason high school kids once they get to high school they like to find rides other than ride the big yellow limousines. So we never quite know who's riding till >> I was just going to say that like how frustrating is that? My daughter guilty. So, you sign up for a bus and all of a sudden they find a friend and then it kind of I told her I go, "You have to tell someone. I can't sign up for
022the bus." >> Yeah. >> Because then they're making extra stops that they don't have to make. >> Yeah. >> And you're killing their time schedule. Well, >> the bus drivers quickly realize that this is not an actual >> It takes about two days for the bus to fly by. >> And most of our stops are are multi-house stops. We have some where we can't have a multi- stop. So, that would just be an individual. Those would cause maybe a little bit of an adjustment, but the multi staff, there will be other other kids there. >> Yeah. >> But I think it's one of the most impressive things like on opening day for me, opening day when we go out there to help the kids get on the buses, you kind of realize the size of
023the operation because there'll be 30 31 buses lined up in a row. It's just pretty impressive, I think, to see all those buses five going past us with all these kids on board. Just kind of reminds us what we're doing and how many kids are involved in it. It's a long line. >> Which is why we had to replace three over here. >> Leading to the next. >> Yeah. >> Mr. Price. >> Mr. Ric. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Davis. >> Yes. >> Mr. Fox. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Packer. >> Yes. >> Speaking of, may I please have a motion for the bus bid resolution? >> So moved. Mr. >> Thank you, Mox. This is the eight. This would be the one that the 26 27 >> 27. >> Yes. >> I'm anticipating the same cost
024>> do not know yet. Um >> do they will you order? >> They're they're currently out to bid right now. >> Okay. >> Uh we work with the Southwest Ohio EPC they put together a bid package for all districts that are members of that organization and then uh we they just ask us to do a board resolution and then we can order shortly after they um open those bids and verify everything uh for a period of time that price is good to expire date specified okay in their bid. So, >> and again we keep what about 35 buses on inventory? >> Uh 39 to 40. >> Yes. And there are days every one of those are on the road. >> So this just keeps our bus fleet. >> Yeah. We are on a 15-year rotation.
025>> When we buy a bus, we anticipate using it for the next 15 years. >> How many backup buses do we have? >> Um 8 to nine, I believe. We're trying to rotate. >> So, so the new buses will go into the regular route cycle. We'll take some of those out into the spare cycle. Take some of the spares. >> Yeah. >> And those will then become no longer use for us. >> A bus is on a regular route anywhere from 10 to 12 years >> and then it goes on a trip type schedule and >> basis. And then when we're when we're done with them, we send them off to an auction place or >> what what do we do when we >> either trade them in or work with a bus dealer to
026discard those? >> A dealer will go and buy them from us or or whatever. What type of residual value do we get out of them recently? >> Like 25 to 3500 usually. >> Jeez. you run them into the ground >> once once you're that once you're that far isn't it's just not there anymore >> and Ohio is the most strict as far as safety and things of that nature. So there are a lot of other states that if you happen to discard a bus in that 10 to 12 year range, there is more of a market for, but we typically like do not. It's usually year 13, 14, and 15 before we discard. >> Um, >> we're selling a bunch of Bengal buses is what we're doing. >> Yeah, they're they are typically worn out.
027Yes. >> Pushing 200,000 miles. >> What's the legal language you can go to? >> Just you can just go till it goes. >> I'm not aware of any. >> As long as it passes inspection. >> Yes. >> Yep. That's the key. It needs that falls apart. State patrol sticker. >> Well, and we're pretty fortunate. We have two bus mechanics on that. And so that helps keep our food up and running and in good order. So pretty fortunate. >> Yeah. There's nothing worse than having to call school because of the inability to transport our kids. >> Yeah. >> That's rather important. >> I was in junior high when uh >> the fleet was discovered missing some parts and broken parts. >> Yes. Yep. >> Flat tires. >> Tires. Yep. >> Yep. Well, >> fandalism. >> Yes,
028vandalism. >> February or January 1994. >> Yep. >> Not to be specific. >> It was over It was over Martin Luther King. >> And so they got an extra uh day to Martin Luther King. >> Yeah. Where were you at that time? >> Graceand never >> I'm not I'm not joking. We took a road trip to Graceand that weekend. That's why I remember it. >> They had to do it in winter time. >> Seen offensive. Mr. >> Mr. Ric, >> yes. >> Mr. Fox, >> yes. >> Mrs. Davis, >> yes. >> Mrs. Becker, >> yes. May I please have a resolution for the personnel items in exhibit E? >> Motion to approve. >> Thank you, Mrs. Davis. Mr. Dylan, >> uh, pretty light agenda. So, we had, um, we do have some shuffling internally. You'll
029see that at the top. um a few people that are moving into new positions that you'll see under the employment section there. So, that's always exciting. Um I will tell you we're we're um right in the heart of uh filling our educational aid positions. So, I've been working closely with our building principles um because school starts in a little less than two weeks. So, um actually a little more than one week at this point. Um the middle there of that first page leaves of absence. Um, these are our employees that are taking unpaid child rearing leaves. So, as Dr. Moore likes to say, that's good for business. Uh, because they're going to be having children that we hope will attend Troy City Schools and keep us moving forward. Um, so would ask that you would
030approve those. And then we have some, um, supplemental contracts, uh, both certified and then, uh, the special supplemental contracts for those that are not teachers. Um, and that's just finalizing some things. some of that's some paperwork timing things just trying to get those wrapped up um as we're moving into the fall season. >> Thank you, Mr. >> Mr. Ric, >> yes. >> Mrs. Davis, >> yes. >> Mr. Fox, >> yes. >> Mrs. Packer, >> yes. >> This is the second hearing of the public for any item not on the agenda. Nothing. Okay. I would just take the opportunity to say welcome to leadership Troy class and uh we're hosting education day. I think this is September, right? >> Okay. So, we'll be seeing you guys soon. Looking forward to it. >> So, you guys are
031in a new class. When does it start up? Is it just now starting up? >> No, it started in January. >> Oh, it runs calendar year. >> Didn't we just have leadership? >> We did. There were some >> This is July, August, and September. We have to attend one of those three meetings for the board of education >> and then we will meet with you guys in September for our full day. >> September they come back. They do a full day of education. They start here and they end here. They also go to the career center. >> Did any of you not get an agenda? We ran a few more copies. Anybody? >> And please do not leave before I teach you a picture because I told Kathy I would. >> Yes. She needs proof.
032>> She needs proof. I was given an assignment. Yeah. >> May I please have a motion to adjourn? >> So moved. >> Thank you, Mr. Fox. Second. M R. Mr. >> Fox. >> Yes. Mr. Ric. >> Yes. Mrs. Davis. >> Yes. Mrs. Packer. >> Yes. Take a good one.
