001Good evening. I'd like to call to order tonight's meeting of the board of education for Troy City Schools. Please stand for the pledge. [Music] I pledge allegiance 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. Mr. Price, Mrs. Borchers here. Mrs. Davis here. Mr. Fox here. Mrs. Packard here. Mr. Reic here. Tonight we have some really great presentations. Um, our first kicking off the evening is the Trojan Stars PBIS student recognitions from elementary. Mr. Dylan, thank you. Thank you to the board of education for having us. Thanks Mr. Piper for having us. Thanks families for coming out sharing. This is also where we honor our retirees this board meeting. So, we have a lot of nice
002refreshments. Kyle plans that strategically for your children to give you lots of sugar. So, uh thank you again for having us tonight. We're going to tell you about our children stars PBIS program. I'm going to introduce our first grade team. They're going to walk up here. So, Mrs. Myers is coming up. She's first grade teacher with Mrs. Stein following and Mrs. Carpenter. So, we've got a great presentation and we're going to share Good morning, Kyle Elementary. It's a great day. Guess what else? It's time for our Trojan stars of the week. Teachers, at this time, please select your Trojan Star student. Send them down to the gym so we can recognize them for their outstanding behavior. We're very proud of these Trojan stars. What you've just heard is our inspiring leader, Mr. Dylan. And that's
003what comes on the announcement every Friday when our torture tickets that kids have earned throughout the week get put into a bucket and we randomly select one lucky student to go down from each classroom. All the classrooms line the hallways and we cheer on the winner. They go down to the cafeteria and get a little brag bag, swag [Music] bag. Thank you for modeling. That was amazing. Um, and then they get to write their name on the wall of fame and they get featured on our announcements and on Monday morning. So there you go. Right. So to just look at kind of the why the why why we do this. Um, we are really focusing on our social emotional skills working on the TR O Y and Troy looking at sportsmanship. So you win some
004and you lose some. It's important to teach that at a really young age. So sometimes you're chosen, sometimes you're not. Learning to cheer others on even when you're not chosen. Building friendships, community building, not only within the classroom, but within our building. We're lucky we're a smaller building. And so everyone kind of knows everyone and they kind of have that camaraderie and rooting each other on. Self-regulation. It's hard when we lose sometimes. It stinks. But being able to be like, take a breath. Okay, was it my turn this time? And being happy for others. Learning to take turns. As I said before, you've only there's only one person out of the classroom each week. So, being happy for that person and knowing that maybe next time it'll be you. Dealing with disappointment. It's hard to
005lose, but that's okay. And then giving and receiving compliments. On Fridays, the hallways are filled with laughter and joy and happiness and screaming and there's dancing and there's music. Very loud music in the hallway. Yes. It's like a dance party, but really it's just to celebrate those students and just build up that character of, you know, we're all a family. We're all really happy for you and bringing each other in. And so now we want to hear from our first grade students. So if you are a Trojan star, come on up. teamwork. So, the question for you is they're going to say their name and they're going to tell you why they were selected as the Trojan star. I was a star.

Words can't really express the gratitude that we feel towards you and the number of years that you've given to the students here at Troy City Schools. We talk about being the Trojan family. Um, but these are the people that really make it happen. Uh, years and years of dedication. Um, all of the years are impressive. Um, I truly think that anybody who can drive a bus for almost 30 years, there should be some extra level of something for that. That seems really challenging. Um, but thank you for all that you do. I hope retirement is everything you've ever dreamed of and then some. Um, I wish you well. Come back and see us. If you'd
018like to sub, please call me. I'd love to. And, uh, enjoy this evening.

Let's give one more round of applause. [Music] Excuse everyone is welcome to stay. We do have a long agenda, so you do not have to stay. to our retirees. Thank you again. Congratulations. Moving on, um we have board committee reports. Uh Levi, Upper Valley. Uh yeah, at Upper Valley, this this last month we had our meeting at the uh Rushi school site. It's one of the the newest satellite um campuses that the career center has. Uh we looked at the uh career center space there, but then
019also uh walked around the rest of the high school and uh looked at the new fieldhouse, the new gym that uh all all within the in its first school year this year. So quite impressive new new building that they have up there. Um they were while Rushi owns the space that's on their campus, it was uh nice that they were really involved with the career center staff on how they'd like it to to be designed. Uh they kept it um in a way where uh when they change things u you know programs may change in the future, the space can still be usable by having uh tables on rolling wheels uh drop down outlets and things. So, um, if we change programs, uh, we could still utilize the space up there. So, interesting to see
020there. Um, graduation is on May 22nd, uh, at Hobart at 7:00. Everyone's welcome to that, um, ceremony there as there will be, uh, a lot of Troy students there. Uh, we're going to have a small construction project starting this summer at the Willoughbrook campus. Um, it it'll just last the summer. It'll be a small little project um there. And uh we had a preview of the 5-year uh forecast that we'll review later this month at our our May meeting. Um but it was interesting to see um how the career center is impacted by the different um formulas that are out there including our last November forecast. We looked at a plan that showed the house's budget forecast and then also the governor's budget forecast as well. So all three to see how they would uh
021impact us differently there. So interesting to see and we'll approve that forecast uh at the main meeting coming up. Um Sarah, anything at Hayner? Uh very little. They are still working on their obviously their levy that is going to be coming up this November and figuring out marketing and strategies to get that levy passed. As of now, it's still um the slogan still stands as it's our house as they're trying to get their name out as this is a community building and not just their building. Um, secondly, the bad news is their air conditioning has gone out. So, perfect time for wedding season. So, they are working on that and they do have a budget for that and they think they will be fully funded for that and they're hoping that the friends of Haner
022will be able to cover the entire cost of that. Um, the downside of that which is concerning is you have weddings, you have events and bridal showers. So, they're really pushing to have that done, but unfortunately, it might be June or July until everything is in and it can be done. But hoping for moderate weather, hoping hoping it stays cold. Their levy renewal process will be brought before you board members beginning next month. Next month. Yes. Two-step process. Thank you. Okay. Um, we will hold a public hearing on the reemployment of Linda Berkkey. We are holding a public meeting on the issue of remploying Linda Berkkey following retirement under the school employee retirement system and the position of administrative assistant. Those attending this meeting will be afforded the opportunity to comment on such proposed remployment.
023So, she was here this evening, correct? Yep. And so this and she is asking to retire and then come back and be rehired. Yes. And this is just part of the legal process that we have to follow when it comes to retire rehire. Okay. She's still going to keep her uh award that you presented her, Dave, or do you hold that for a year? Yes, absolutely. And I miss is it the same position that she's going back for or a different Same. Same one. She probably deserves a clock and more. Yeah, she's amazing. Next, uh, Mr. Moore, first hearing of the public. I didn't receive any feedback from anybody, so thank you. We're good. Um, next, a motion for consideration of the approval of the minutes from our regular meeting on Monday, April 14th, and
024our special meeting on Tuesday, April 29th. So moved. Thank you, Mrs. Porchers. Second. Thank you, Mrs. Davis. Uh, I'd like to recommend a couple corrections. Um, the roof project, um, I abstained from that one in our regular meeting. I know there were a few different agendas sent out, so perhaps it got corrected in a one after. And then um the second round of the policies uh 25-048 I voted no on that one. Got it. Thank you. Are there any other comments or changes? Mr. Price. Mrs. Bortchers. Yes. Mrs. Davis. Yes. Mr. Fox. Yes. Mr. Reic. Yes. Mrs. Packard. Yes. Next. A motion for the financial report, please. Pardon me. Motion approve. Thank you, Mr. Fox. Second. Thank you, Mr. Couple comments. Uh, we continue to track relatively well as we approach fiscal year end. Also,
025we received our final income tax settlement and received a updated report within my group of reports and pleased to report that the income tax continues to grow, which is designed to do and that's a good thing for us. Is there anything that we should look out for as we hit the end of the year? Um, as we head into June, we'll start our cleanup process for the fiscal year end. um then finalize everything and bring that before you to approve on June 30th 8 a.m. special board meeting that will be held at the board office. Um all of our projects for the summer uh PI funds are all lined up. Um the high school roof replacement continuence uh will begin starting right outside this window. of the main uh trunk line from this back or
026the old front hall to the new front entrance uh will be replaced this summer as well as the administrative office roof line leaving the new gymnasium. This back hallway and the kitchen roof. So it'll probably be divided over the next two summers and then this structure will be completely re-roofed. Junior high we still have about oh 10 years or so before we need to start attacking that structure. So we are in relatively good shape at this point. Um, the gym roof in this back hallway, that warranty expires next year. Knock on wood. We have had no leaks in the D gym roof. That has a very good slope to it. Um, what minor leak we had around the edge, we've fixed with a capping mechanism. Um, nothing has appeared so far in this back hallway.
027and the kitchen roof uh continues to hold up well too. So hopefully that continues till we get to the replacement phase next year over the next two years. So thank you. There any other questions? But that's our big PI project for this summer is this main hallway. Are there any other comments or questions? Mr. Price, Mr. Fox? Yes, Mr. Ratic. Yes, Mrs. Davis. Yes, Mrs. Borchers. Yes, Mrs. Packard. Yes. Next, a motion for the 5-year financial forecast for fiscal years ending June 20 June 30th, 2025 through 2029. So moved. Thank you, Mrs. Porchers. Second. Thank you, Mr. Highlight a few things with forecast. Um this has probably been the most difficult. Uh there are have been a lot of proposed changes. Um which I think we've called out attack on public education funding wise basically.
028Um we've implemented a few somewhat others we have chosen not to. Um the first general property tax revenue. Uh there is legislation out there. There is talk with doing something with um relieving some of the increases in property tax for local property tax owners. Um that is something very difficult to do and to phase in and we've received not a lot of detail. So, I've not implemented any of that discussion at this point. Um, you will notice as we go out into the forecast years that that line item reduces, but that's because of the 5.9 and the 5.8 mil renewal levies for operating purposes. that will come back up in the November for the 5.9 because it was just recently renewed, but the 5.8 will continue to be down below. We don't uh anticipate putting
029that on till next spring. Um most likely it'll be a March ballot with it being a primary year. Uh that typically gets moved from May to March. uh they have t not taken action but we anticipate that occurring. So we will be taking uh steps probably December and January to put that on the ballot. uh leaving uh if necessary, if it is not successful with the initial renewal in the spring, that leaves uh November as a final try before it would expire next at the end of next calendar year. That's the 5.8, correct? That's the 5.8. Yes. Then we are through our renewal cycle. I was going to ask, are we after the 5.8, are we done for a couple years? Yeah. Couple years. Yes. Before the PI will come back. And so in the
030forecast that's just moving the money from the top line from top top line down top line down 11.02. Yes. Yes. Moving on. Uh income tax uh we are projecting uh continued growth in that. Um there are no signs of the economy slowing down locally at this point. Also with the next line 1.03 035 unrestricted state grants and aid with the governor's proposal. Uh his proposal with cost estimates received there. Um if that was to be approved as presented, we could potentially see upwards to $2.2 million less over the next banial budget. with the House version. Um that was somewhat reversed with a slight increase. Uh we've basically kept it pretty well flat at this point till we get through that process. Uh we are waiting to hear what comes out of the Senate. Um there
031have been several districts that went to Columbus last week and gave testimony in preparation of their roll out. Um, and I believe there's another date scheduled next week. Can't remember when, but yeah, coming up. Um, but potentially depending upon what they propose, it'll go to a conference committee after uh Senate approves their funding bill and then negotiations will begin and we'll continue to track that. Uh we do have a work session scheduled for early June, but most likely we're not going to have a lot more information than what we have today at this point. So we've kind of kept that pretty well flat, just a slight increase over the next um conservative approach at this point or next two bannual budgets. uh as we project out uh depending upon what direction they choose once they
032everything out. So on the the funding formula we're in year four right of the six-year phase in yes governor's proposal continued to phase it in but he chose not to force updating the cost inputs. Okay. Which what do you have in this? What do you have in this? We just basically have a flat line. I mean, you're not going with the governor's uh next step. I I'm probably closer to the house proposal at this point than the governor's and the house keeps us flat. The house pretty well keeps us flat. they were not continuing the phase in of the formula. How they were going to fund us, we have no idea. Uh we're assuming there was some chatter about putting everybody on a guarantee and maintain what we received this year going forward, unless your
033enrollment changes up or down. Um but not a lot of details come out on how they intend if the house's approach weighs heavy during negotiation. Is this roughly the same way that you forecasted in November though for the most part? Yes. Okay. Yep. Conservative approach at this point till we know more. Moving on down to um expenditures. Um we've taken into account u both union agreements that are currently in place and then [Music] assumed a 3% annual increase in year four and five. benefits. Uh we've assumed um a maximum increase uh that we have in both union agreements that the board would realize of 5%. There has been some discussion at within STRS that they are potentially looking at uh increasing the board's share paid in for retirement purpose on employees within the STRS system.
034I have not implemented anything along those lines. It's just been a topic discussion at this point. Nothing concrete. I think they've thrown the idea out potentially just to get some feedback maybe kind of test the waters. Um so what what do we contribute now and what are they uh roughly asking? We pay 14% of the employees salary on an annual basis for both STRS and SCS. Um, in addition to that, uh, the board picks up 3/4 of 1% of the employees 10% that's paid in. That's according to both union agreements. And what's what are they STRS? What are they potentially asking for if it's going from 14 to what? Haven't heard. They're saying an increase. They're just saying look looking at phasing in an increase. And who's the they? Is it STRS board? Oh, STRS.
035And do they just get to make that their board gets to make that decision and then we just have to do it or how does that work? Potentially. Um, they also have to send something to the legislative bodies to consider in conjunction with that. So, the House and Senate also have to review that proposal. Who do they go to? Is there? Right now there is a little bit of oversight by the House and Senate. So do the House and Senate have to say yes, we agree with you doing that for them to be able to say school you have to do this because they're also given some guidelines. Uh they have to meet um sustainability of 30 years with their um investment carryover pot in order to pay retirees. So they have to prove that
036value too annually. Purchase services um we've assumed a 4% annual increase there. Supplies and materials 3% and capital outlay 3%. Does that track with what we've seen? Yeah, for the most part. So, as you look at the forecast and out to year, we're spending into our an annual carryover, but uh year five, we are still projecting a positive carryover balance. Yeah, that's that's quite a big change from last forecasted November where you're um of 5. So what what's that what's that swing mainly attributed to at the end of five years there? Looks like I was looking at line 12.1 and it looks like we're going previously you're at 5.9 and now it's 14 personnel. I mean, we're a service industry. Less, right? This takes into account no potential savings with staff um numbers being reduced
037and becoming more efficient through attrition as we move into new buildings. We have not had uh detailed discussions on that. And until we do, I don't feel comfortable in placing that within the forecast. that will probably occur sometime uh next fiscal year, school year and then it'll be implemented upon that discussion and plan that's decided upon. So that's a unforcasted potential upside. Yes. To the cash balance. What's so what's driving this upside to the cash balance then? If it's not that the last forecast was showing like 2029 around 5.9 million and this is showing 2029 at 14 million. income tax continued growth. Um it has actually performed better than anticipated the last couple years. Um this year we are up a million dollars with our income tax from what? From last year. Yes. Yes. And
038that was not projected. So now you're using this year's as a starting point for starting the next five years. Yes. and only escalating that at 1.5. We've only seen two years where um brought in less those two years than prior year and it was very minimal. Yeah. And I and even 1.5% there's probably some upside to that too. So could be. Yes. Looks like I'll say in four four years be on the board. We're giving nothing to project off of income tax other than the prior year's four quarter settlements. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not I'm not disagreeing with it. I'm this I'm saying this is the best forecast I've seen in four four years here and one to be excited about and without some of the negatives and and things like that where I've had concerns
039with in the past. though the financial plan that we have in place and being at the 20 mil floor taking advantage of some things there potentially becoming more efficient with our new facilities thanks to the community all those being combined things look pretty good knock on wood that Columbus doesn't mess things up they're trying yeah they are trying real Sadly, I mean, we're set up for quite a while. Great. Thank you for your prudence in setting us up that way, Mr. Price. Agreed. There any other comments or questions? Mr. Price? Mrs. Borchers? Yes. Mr. Reic? Yes. Mrs. Davis? Yes. Mr. Fox? Yes. Mrs. Packard? Yes. Uh, next may I please have a motion for then and now my revised code 5075.41 provides that if prior certification of funds by the fiscal officer was not obtained
040before the contract or order involving the expenditure was made then the fiscal officer may instead certify. Thank you, Mrs. Davis. Second. Thank you, Mrs. Bchers. Just a few here. Concord, Haywood, Hainer, and High School. Nothing major. Very minimal expenses. A couple of those were timing issues. Any comments, questions? Go ahead. Mr. Price. Mrs. Davis. Yes. Mrs. Borchers. Yes. Mr. Fox. Yes. Mr. Reic. Yes. Mrs. Packer. Yes. Next. Um, first of a motion for the superintendent's report to accept gifts of the Troy City School District. So moved. Second. Thank you, Mr. Addict. Thank you, Mr. Fox. Mr. Piper. So, we always appreciate our community for the support of our students, our staff, and our programs. And you'll see a variety of contributions to those efforts here, ranging from candy to $500. And I'm sure the kids
041appreciate both equally. Uh but no, we just uh we're always thankful this time of year or this time of the month when we get to say thanks to our community. So our May total and that's just the monetary total total is $1,492 and our fiscal yeartoate total for gifts is $183,188581. So we appreciate all of it. Is a generous community. It is. Mr. Press, Mr. Ric. Yes. Mrs. Peek. Yes. Mr. Fox. Yes. Mrs. Davis. Yes. Mrs. Borchers. Yes. Next. May I please have a motion for the Miami County and Montgomery County Educational Service Center resolution. So, thank you, Mrs. Davis. Second. Thank you, Mrs. Borchers. So, this is a requirement for us to do every year. Uh, so Jeff, Michael, and I met recently with uh the superintendent treasurer from the ESC and looked at
042our programming and our costs and we have come to an agreement. looks pretty flat for next year. Um, but they help us with a considerable number of our programs. They're a great partner for us.

We did some hiring in April. Um, so this is still a busy season for us, wrapping up the the hiring season. Um you can see we have some some folks um several of them are one year only contracts that we brought on this year just for a year. Some are people that are moving into different positions within the district. Um we do have a leave of absence. Um as Dr.
046Moore like likes to say it's good for business. It's unpaid for child rearing. So would ask that you would approve that. We have some renewals for administrative uh contracts as well as a certified contract uh for a teacher that's going to be coming back with us. And then we have some uh some new employments. And so I'd like to turn it over to Mr. Gulick. Uh he can introduce the folks that are here from TJHS. Thank you, Mr. Gildon. Uh we have three new teachers uh here tonight for Troy Junior High for next school year. Start all right here back here. Carrie friend. Um she's a graduate recent graduate of Red State University. She is actually was in Justin Cruz's one of Justin Cruz's classes. One of a few people we've hired from Justin's class.
047So she teach um she did her student teaching at the David STEM school. Uh if you know anything about STEM school, they're all about project based learning. Uh we're starting to try to get into that a little bit at the at the junior high school. who are excited about the the uh experience she'll bring to us. She'll be teaching language arts, eighth grade language arts. Um next we have Angus Kite. Uh he is also a recent just graduated uh Saturday Saturday and then had to move out of his place down there too. Graduate of Wilmington College. Um so uh Carrie is in a a long line of or growing line of students of uh Mr. Cruz and Angus is in a long line of Wilmington College student athletes that we've had at Troy Junior High
048Schools. Most of them have been pretty good. Um they've all been pretty good. So we're excited for him to continue that tradition that we teach in math. Uh our English or or not English, our geometry class, which is uh is is not always easy to find uh someone who wants to teach geometry at a junior high school. So we're excited about that. Um, next up, Jacob Wheeler right here in the front. Uh, some of you might recognize Jacob. He's a Troy High School graduate. Uh, went to the University of Cincinnati. Uh, I think he was thinking about psych. And then he spent a day at Troy Junior High School subbing and he thought, you know what, this is where I this is where I need to be. This is where the magic happens. So, uh,
049spent some time teaching at, uh, TIP. Uh, he's at Northmont this year and now he's coming home next year. He'll be an intervention specialist at Georgia High. So, we're excited about uh the new faces and the fresh ideas that we're have coming in. So, um yeah, have one more that is on the agenda. She wasn't able to make it tonight. I didn't say Angus is a lacrosse player and we have another one on the agenda. She's also a lacrosse player and seven years of doing this. This is two lacrosse. We've never had lacrosse. So, this is I'm learn more about lacrosse. So, I'm excited about that. Welcome. Welcome. Thank you for coming today. Exciting. Dave, I've got a question for you. Uh, typically when we see resations contingent on being rehired, the rehires later on
050in the agenda and so do you Patricia Bis is that um will she be offered that position? So Patty um yeah so that she is moving just changing routes is is all that is. So that's a little bit different because we go by seniority um when it comes to those. So she did have to resign that specifically in order to take her her new position. But that's why it just looks a little bit different on this agenda. Oh so there she won't be on a hiring agenda then. Right. Okay. Thanks. Anything else, Mr. Governor? Um, just real quick, um, Mr. G did a really nice job. So, he mentioned Carrie Six and Suggest Angus. Um, product of one of the job fairs that I went to. So, happy to find him. The uh, the Wilmington
051College student athletes, Mr. Brook, I got your joke there. I was a Wington College student athlete. So Angus and I from first from first meeting we uh we bonded over Wilington College and then as you said Jacob's coming home um and you know we're stealing him from a couple of pretty strong districts at TIP and Northmont and you know he said it was either here or uh or nowhere. So um happy that we have people that want to come back here happy that people want to be a part of the great things that we're doing. Um, you know, I would say both Carrie and Angus and Jake, all three for that matter, um, had their pick of lots of districts in the area. Angus is coming from Toledo and I know the job here anyhow,
052his dance card was full of interviews. Um, and he chose us. So, we're pretty excited about that and Carrie, I've heard so many fantastic things from Mr. Cruz and others and just I think we're building a really strong team. I'm really excited about the hiring that we've done so far this year. Um, one name I did want to mention, um, so Courtney Wright. Um, she was here last month because her husband is Brandon Wright. So, Courtney is coming as an intervention specialist. Brandon will be our new athletic director. So, that will be a very nice addition to the Trojan family. And then Lauren Morris. Um, the reason that Lauren isn't going to be able to join us is that um, she lives about two hours away. So, she's actually relocating um, here to Troy. So,
053she really wants to be in this area. She grew up in Belt Brook and she looked at all the districts in this area and where would she want to plant roots and work and have um have her kids be and this was it. So um we're really excited about this team that we're building. It's been been a great hiring season. I think it's going to continue. I think you'll see some some excellent hires next month as well. So really really happy with where we're at. Thank you Mr. Del, Mr. Rice. Mrs. Bortress. Yes. Mr. Ric. Yes, Mr. Fox. Yes, Mrs. Davis. Yes, Mrs. Packard. Yes. And then no second hearing of the public. May I have a motion to adjurnn? So, thank you, Mr. Reic. Mr. Price, Mrs. Davis, yes. Mr. Reic, yes. Mrs. Borchers,
