The annual expenditures just a bit over $30,000 to an outside um company to maintain those two fields and we've decided internally to continue to set that money aside for turf replacement purposes. And that's Oh, great. It'll this fun to fund transfer transfers the funds that we spent annually from the general fund to that fund that we set up for that purpose.

So, is this Clint I believe talked about this in one of his updates to board that Chris sends out every Friday a while back. I'm not sure how long ago
014it was. Uh at this point with increased foods costs, he can no longer offer breakfast and cover costs with what we were charging. Uh So he reviewed all that and his recommendation is to increase the elementary from a$110 to $1.75 and junior high and high school from $135 to $2. I think that's what was causing me some heartburn is it just said 65 to$1.75 in the here it just says raising the price. So that's why I had to pause at this. Okay. is I was concerned about. Okay. And it's the first increase I can recall since I've been here. Yes, we have. This is unfortunate that we couldn't have done one in the past to make it big. For my tenure, we've never touched breakfast. I've never seen I've barely barely even seen the lunch.
015Lunch price we increased right before we went to the ballot for the initial bond issue back in 2017. Yeah. Okay. It's been a long time. And lunch prices we are okay. It's breakfast. What's the high school breakfast right now? 352. Yes. And then elementary is currently $110 and going to $1.75$1.75. Yes, that's on free and reduced lunches skip breakfast also, right? Yeah. Yes. Yes, it's free. Yep. Greenville, Northmont are all $2 K12. Spring is $1.75 K12. Beaver Creek is 250 K12. Centerville is $1.75 K6 and 2712. Piqua is completely free for breakfast, everything. Um they are participating in that statewide um initiative. their uh free and reduced percentage districtwide is high enough that they can institute um free breakfast and lunch across the entire district and Tim City does not serve breakfast. So our prices
016are not wildly No, they're average. Everybody he checked with, we're right there. Please call the Mrs. Davis. Yes. Mrs. Borchers. Yes. Mrs. Packard. Yes. Um, may please have a motion for personnel items in exhibit F. So move second. Thank you, Mr. Dunham. Hello everyone. Um, fairly standard, still somewhat lengthy. We're still uh hot and heavy in the higher end season. So um there are a few things that I want to point out, a few introductions that I'd like to make to you this evening. Um at the top you'll see uh resignations, retirements. Wanted to point out which you had an item on the agenda that would be for Dr. Moore. So his resignation would be contingent upon rehire. So we'll take the necessary steps um with public hearing and and follow those appropriate timelines. Um
017if you scroll on down, we u pretty fairly standard the non-renewals of of spring sports supplementals. Um and then administrative, we've got a couple of things. We're going to do the the standard increase for Mr. Price and then um I'd like to introduce you to Dr. Deborah Turner. So, hello. Hi.

Um, so many years of experience, just a wide range of knowledge. Um, she
018was extremely impressive during the interview process. Um, it was a pretty extensive search that we did and process. So, we we met with each candidate. Uh, the first round about 45 minutes and the second round was close to two hours. So, we involved some additional um team members the second round, including um school psych um one of our building principles and then two of our inter intervention specialists because um we realize that um this position is going to touch a lot of people within our district. So, I'd like to introduce Dr. Deborah Turner, give you the chance to to say anything to our board of education. Um I I appreciate the opportunity to be here and um to say thank you. So far, I've received a warm welcome and I'm really excited to join your

She's looking to live in this area. Yes, you will enjoy it. Troy is a wonderful place. Thank you. I need to pay her a huge compliment beyond just how impressive she was. Um, we were kind of back and forth the end of last week and and there was an update to the personnel agenda that just went out today because we were back and forth towards the end of last week and finally connected this morning. Um, and once we finalized everything, I invited her to the board meeting this evening. This morning and she has two boys to play baseball and she was able to make arrangements
020to get them to where they needed to go. And and I told her, I said, "If you can't make it, I totally understand. and our board will understand. But if you're able to, it'll be a nice introduction for you guys, a nice introduction for her. So, just kudos to you for uh for making that happen and being able to be here. So, where are they planning that? Where are they playing tonight? Um, it's practice tonight. Okay. Well, congratulations on surviving that interview. I was like, whoa, man. That brings back memories process. It was a great process. I enjoyed it. Yeah. So, what brings you what brings you here? What was your interest? Um, so my husband is a plumber and um has been thinking about going out on his own or joining somebody in business
021and so he has an opportunity um in Tip City um join a company um and so we had started looking in this area and so when the position became available I jumped on it. Wow. Great. Timing is everything, right? Time is everything. Wonderful. And I have to ask, is she the second doctor that we have in Tori? She is. Dr. Moore will have to move over and make some room. Well, that just that's great. Just nothing against Dr. Moore, but I think he needs like somebody else. Yeah. We're very excited you're here. Yes. Thank you. Well done. Um and then just uh if you keep going down um bottom of of that first page, I'd also like to introduce you to Rob Barryman. So Rob is is joining us as an intervention specialist um for
022this upcoming school year. Um 18 years of experience that he comes to us with um including districts like Fairlon, Botkins, very high performing um and most recently the Midwest Regional ESC. Um, and I will I must say that um he had the terrible misfortune of riding the school bus many many many years ago with yours truly. So, so we uh we ended up going to the same school together and uh made that connection when he came in for his interview and that's funny. So, we're we're excited to have him. I know Mrs. Potter wasn't able to join us, but he'll be at Cooks and um the team there had the chance to meet him then I I sat down with him and uh he's going to do a great job for us. So, say welcome
023aboard. Welcome aboard. Welcome. And you can tell us Mr. Deone's stories later. So, we're looking forward to We'll talk Let's Let's review those stories before. Welcome. Not when they're Thank you for joining us. Um, a few other highlights I'd like to point out. Um, if you flip over the page there. So, again, it's a pretty exciting time. It's the It's the fruits of our labor this spring and the hiring season. And um Allison David Davis, excuse excuse me, is um she is going to be the fifth grade teacher, a new fifth grade teacher at Forest Elementary. Um if that name is familiar to you, she is a Troy Grat. So she's coming back home. Um her mom is actually Dana Davis, who's one of our school counselors. So Ally is gonna going to come back
024here. Made it through a very rigorous process to uh to land that position. Highly soughta. So, um, she was a very strong candidate in a very strong pool and, um, we're happy to have her. Hope she'll do well. Yeah. Haley Ley is going to, uh, join us. That's a, a one-year only fifth grade position at Hook. Um, but I will tell you that our our reputation is, um, is definitely out there, um, in other districts. And so, she's leaving a position in a current district um, in the Dayton area to come join us, even though it's only guaranteed for one year. um and she is hoping that maybe that turns into something uh after that one year, but she knows that there's no guarantee. So, we had that conversation and um I feel very lucky
025to have her um talking about our search expanding and our name being out there. Wesley Liverend is coming from Alabama. So, he came up here, his story is extremely unique. He came up here, he went to a Red's game, a Dragons game, he found his way to Troy, he drove around, he went to the book store. I'm not making any of this up. He went to the bookstore. He saw the fountain. He fell in love with our community. Our position posted. He applied. And he is going to be our new social studies teacher at the high school. And that team is very excited about him joining. And when you talk to him, there's no mistaking he is from Alabama. So, but he I didn't see him. He he presented some lessons to the high school
026team and I heard consistently that it was extremely impressive. So, um, they're very excited to have him. And then Courtney Wright, um, that's just the revision to her original contract. We hired her last month, um, but we need to make we needed to make an adjustment on, um, number of steps there for her. So, um, the other piece I'd like to point out, the last thing would just be, um, we're closing the loop on Linda Berkkey. If you remember, we went through that process. Um, so that's exciting for us. Um, and I think she's also excited. And I know the staff at Concord is very excited to keep her for a little while longer. So that um that will work well. But I think those are my outings for tonight. Any questions? Um Mr. R.
027Mrs. Porchress. Yes. Mrs. Davis. Yes. Mrs. Packard. Yes. I don't think we have anyone to speak for the secondary of the public. I didn't take any. Yeah. May I have a motion to adjourn? So, thank you. Iron.
