And good evening, everybody. Um, I have two things under my report tonight. Before we get to Before I get to those, though, I just want to highlight everything that took place this weekend and just celebrate our kids um and just our district. I had texted um our gifted coordinator, Mrs. Colombo, on Saturday,
003and I said, "It's a great day to be a Trojan." And her response back back was, "Every day is a great day to be a Trojan." Uh, so I love that reply, but I'm going to highlight some things that were on social media just so everybody's aware. Um, Brooke Padilla, a seventh grader, uh, represented us in the regional spelling bee on Saturday in Canton. So, we appreciate her and, uh, her work. Uh, the speech team traveled to state this weekend. Cam McCoy was fourth in the state for program oral interpretation. Uh, Katherine Kuier was second in the state for program oral interpretation. Uh, Concaid Brown was fifth in the state for humor. Mattie Mclean was a semi- finalist for humor. Mattie Fay went on to quarterfinals for program oral interpretation. and Tusky Valley at that
004uh the state tournament received the school of excellence award in interpretation. So, our speech team uh had an incredible weekend. Uh girls basketball had a trip to the regional championship in Logan where they played a great game. Uh the team made school history as being the first girls basketball team to advance that far in tournament action with Ellie Wallik ending the season with a new school record of 62 three-point shots and Brennan Reichman set the single season record of 283 rebounds. So, they had a great season. Uh in the wrestling, uh Tory Wilson won the district championship this past weekend to qualify for state. Uh and Sarah and Olivia Whitlatch also placed fifth and sixth respectfully uh or respectively and will be state alternates at that competition. Uh indoor track team was in action as
005well. Katie Armstrong uh was eighth in the division 3 girls vault at the state track meet, earning her all Ohio status. A Miy placed fourth in division 3 boys 400 meter dash earning him all Ohio status. Kate Conrad placed fifth in the Division 3 boys 800 meter run finals, earning him all Ohio status. The team of Braden Miller, Logan Roth, Cade Conrad, and Abe Mawi placed second in the division 3 boys 4x400 meter relay, earning each of them all Ohio status. And Trista Liser placed 14th in the division 3 girls 1600 meter run finals and 16th in the division 3 girls 3200 meter run finals. So our indoor track team did a phenomenal job. So great job. uh Special Olympics. Uh Tusky Valley received the Spirit of Tuscross County award on Saturday from the Tuscross
006County Special Olympics and the Rockets team. Uh in that they're not in providing us the award. They they shared Tuscross County Special Olympics has the privilege of impacting the lives of more than 200 individuals each year. Your your school district's willingness to host us, open your doors, and allow us to use your facilities means more than we can adequately convey with words alone. the way your your leadership team and your entire school community have embraced our rockets speaks volume. And so that award is here. They just dropped it off to us. Um and so we thank Mr. Terry Sites who helped coordinate that. Um and he went on Saturday to accept the award on our behalf. And then finally, Rainbow Connection. Uh the teleathon was yesterday. Uh the district uh thanks to donations from student,
007staff, and residents. Uh we donated $3,24 yesterday afternoon. Um and we especially thank our elementary, fifth, and sixth graders under the direction of Mrs. Ziggger uh who performed during the teleathon and so that link is on our website um and on our social media pages. So if you did not get a chance to see their performance um check that out. They did they did an amazing job. Uh so definitely a great weekend in Trojan country. Um and I couldn't be prouder of our students and staff um and everything that they accomplished. Um now on to my actual report. Uh I'm going to invite uh Mr. Pat Eddie from TC United Soccer um up to talk about their program uh because later on in the agenda we're going to ask uh you to approve a lease
008agreement with them. >> Yep. You can come on up to the podium. Pat. >> All right. Uh so yeah, uh my name is Patrick Eddie. Um and I currently uh sit as the vice president uh Tescross County United Soccer Association. That's who I'm here representing tonight. Um we we are based locally. So Bolver um is our kind of our home base. Uh we currently house our fields at the um Dover Dam. So we have a lease agreement with the Army Corps of Engineers. That's where our main uh fields and locations are. Um and I before I got here tonight, I looked up some numbers. So currently registered, we're in the middle of uh we're getting ready for spring season. So we have spring season, we have a fall season every year. youth soccer. Uh we
009currently have 215 kids registered in our program. Um 93 and a half 94% of those come from our district. Uh and the rest of that is made up we have some do Philly Fairlists um couple canon kids. Um and those those uh make up the the bulk of our um program. Uh we provide soccer for kids from three all the way up to 18. Um and uh we're 100% volunteer driven. So >> could you repeat that last? You're 100% what? >> 100% volunteer driven. All of our coaches, our board members, um any anybody that helps us is uh volunteer driven. 100%. Awesome. >> Thank you. >> I have one more question. Sorry. Uh what days do you work I mean with the soccer team? What are those Saturdays only or is it other >> uh
010so the way it works um once we have a roster say say we have a roster all our kids rostered on the teams we have co we find volunteer coaches for those we let the coaches decide um so uh typically typically um practices are Monday through Friday in the evenings um and then games are usually Saturday mornings is when we do play all of our games um the bulk of our games you know getting into agree agreement later. The bulk of our games will still take place at Dover or at uh Bolver Dam. Um we're for the lease agreement with with the school. We're looking to use uh the old soccer fields for our older kids. So, we've grown to the point to where uh typically in the past, the kids would age out um
011around high school level. They found other sports. You know, we we compete with a lot of other sports obviously. So the program has grown to a point to where we have more older kids coming back at the high school level. So for for uh example this season we're going to have three high school age teams. Uh two of them will be boys teams and one will be a girls team. Um so we're running out of room. >> Okay. >> Um the Baller Dam, you know, when when I first negotiated lease agreement for them with them, you know, I don't know if you're familiar with the space, but it looks like there's a lot of space there. But we start putting in three or four >> fields, >> high school level soccer fields, you know, three
012or four U10, U12, like we run out of room real quick. So that would be the purpose of our >> Thank you. >> Thanks for being here tonight. >> Uh second item under my report, I'm going to invite Mr. Steve Franks to come up uh and talk about the new athletic conference that we've shared. Uh and then tonight, the board will take official action for us to join that athletic conference. Uh, thank you for letting me come and explain. Really, it's a Q&A if anybody has anything. Uh, the league is pretty much been established. Uh, we've had a meeting already. Um, we're in the process now of trying to find a league commissioner. Uh, we did some interviews today, I believe. I don't know how those went yet, but the superintendents were handling that. But
013just wanted to come and present that we are moving from the IVC. Uh felt like we were we were invited to this new league and was wasn't really looking to move, but at the same time, we kind of felt like our back was going to be against the wall and we'd be kind of stuck if we didn't go to it and at least listen. So, we did. We went to listen and uh we know that two other teams were going to leave out of the south division of the IVC which would have left us in a league with four. Can't survive with a league of four. Uh so we had to look at our options. We and we've we've discussed we we've looked, we researched, we made sure that it's going to be a great
014fit for our kids, our community. Uh we were actually in this league in the past minus a few teams. It was the old Senate league. Uh so this this new league for us is a lot of our local neighbors, a lot of schools that are right around us. We play pretty much all of them. Actually, we play all of them already. Uh so we're kind of excited to get it going. It's not going to take place until the 28 29 school year. That'll be the first year. Uh anytime that you leave a league, um you usually have a two-year wait period. So that would put us into the 2028 29th school year when we'll start. Uh, I'm I'm here to answer any questions anybody has about it. Um, we didn't go about it lightly, even
015though it seemed like it was pretty quick. We We did a lot of research um to find out that it was going to be a great fit for our kids and our community. That's the number one goal and we feel like it will be moving forward. So, if there's any questions, I can answer them. If if not, then >> who are the teams right now? Uh the teams right now will be Tesla and Fairless, Marlington and Manurva, uh Carolton, Sandy Valley, US and Claymore. So it'll be a league of eight, which is really good as far as scheduling wise and uh I think it's a great fit for our kids. >> Yes, >> I would just like to say a personal thank you to you, Steve, for the work you put in it. I know
016Matt War did some work on it and then of course it's superintendent driven so Derrick's had to put a lot of work and information for us and we really appreciate everything you gave us so that we can make a good decision. I appreciate that. You did a nice job. >> Thank you. >> Anybody else? >> All right. >> Thank you, Mr. Prince. >> Uh that concludes my report, Mrs. Burer. >> Thank you, Dr. Ransky. Moving on to item number five, student representatives report. Today we have hope squad with adviserss uh Mrs. Tiffany Shaw and Mrs. Kayla Coff. You're on. >> And we also have some student representatives with us tonight. And >> could the students introduce themselves, please? >> I'm Cindy Miller. >> I'm just back. >> And you're all seniors. >> Yes. We need
017to >> All right. Well, welcome everybody and I'm grateful for our student representatives to be here. Um, again, I'm Tiffany Shaw and Kayla Cop. We are uh the hope squad adviserss for Tusky Valley and uh we do have some other teachers who help support this um and of course the administration. So Mr. Phillips um also Mr. Fogle and then Brettton Franks uh and Kate Satimio also help out um our staff as well. Oh, and the guidance counselors. So uh Megan Sams and Jen Bagel also um support us. >> All right. And so I I guess I'll take you back. Let me let me go back. Can I go back? Yes. Um so back in November of 2018 is whenever uh the board went to the capital conference and first heard of Hope Squad. And it
018was then in the spring of 2019 that uh the initial admin the ad initial administration and team were sent to be trained. And so Kayla and I have just continued that um that path and we're we're thrilled to be a part of it. And then this is everything uh that we have done this year. And we're going to we're going to go through this um pretty succinctly, but uh we just wanted to give just a highle overview of what we're going to be covering tonight. Okay. So our vision and our mission. So, our vision is just to create a school community that everybody feels safe in. They all look out for one another. If you're struggling with something, you know who to go talk to. Um, our mission is just for our kids that are
019in Hope Squadron, our members are trained to recognize when somebody's struggling. So, if I'm having a bad day, I might go down to the recharge room and talk to Sid about it. And if Sid feels like I need more support, then she has the skills to recommend me to one of the guidance counselors. Just so every kid going through school doesn't feel alone and feel like they have nowhere to go with their feelings and their stress. >> So this is a video of us inducting our new members, which this is our seventh graders this year. But our the induction of our new members is actually a really big thing for us and we make it a really big deal because we feel like the induction of these new hope squad members and when I started
020um we didn't have middle schoolers but as I went through high school then we incorporated middle schoolers and we feel like it's a really good thing that they could get to watch us like we're their role models and then we get to teach them as we go. So we make it a really big deal and have them all like we take them over from the elementary school and celebrate them and it's a really good day. So that was our seventh graders this year. >> All right. So this is the Hope Club retreat. This is one of the bigger things we do um throughout the year. So this year we went to the New Philly uh community church. We all got together, you know, we planned for prom, homecoming, um we did yoga, just a lot
021of general fun things. We planned the um the seal, emotional learning days, you know, the resilience day. Um yeah, just a lot of fun to be had there. Um yeah. >> Okay, so this is the recharge room. This is a room we offer in the high school um to allow high schoolers to just come and recharge themselves. So we have hope squad members in there at all times. Um just so we're there to support them. They can come to us with questions or just with stress or it's just a place they can do puzzles and color or really just sit there in silence if they need to just to get themselves ready for their next class. So we have like a sign in and sign out so teachers know what they're doing and where they're
022at. But yeah, so that's >> to add on to that. We all of us hope God squad members sit in the recharge room at least one period a day or something like that. And it is like you learn to have these conversations with people and they talk to you and we're trained and it's not just necessarily a training thing. It's like you learn to listen and you put life into perspective and it's more of a listening thing and not necessarily like fixing their problems but it makes a difference and I even keep in contact with people that I've talked to and you just check in on them and create relationships I think which helps. >> Yeah. And the one thing that I'll just add to that is um Trista mentioned when they go into the
023Hope Squad room, there's a sign in. And so what there's safeguards with that. So the Hope Squad adviserss get um an email of anybody who goes in there um as well the administration, the guidance counselors. So there's multiple layers of support so we know who is in there and so then we can also follow up if needed. All right. And then our community outreach that we do is um it's always right at the beginning of the year and it's the walk in memory and the district has um very successfully been a part of this for the past several years and and this past year was another great success. Um I know our team they're they are very integral in just helping set up uh we we go early we help set up the entire event.
024Um and we stay we support uh the the families who come who who come through there who have lost a loved one due to suicide. >> So our biggest fundraiser of the year is our homecoming dance which is for the high school. The cool thing this year was we allowed our seniors to plan it. So during that Hope Squad retreat, they got to pick what their theme was, what kind of decorations they thought they wanted. And then our middle school Hope Squad actually shows up and decorates for them so the high schoolers can get ready for their dance. And we the our kids do a great job selling tickets, promoting it, and this is our biggest fun well besides this year, but this is normally our biggest fundraiser for the year. So Trojan time is
025one of the things that Ava talked about with the SEAL learning days. So our topics this year were self-care, gratitude, mind matters, and resiliency. And we each had different like each day there was different activities that students did whether there was different stations or there was a speaker or like for the mind matters day us seniors spoke to the sixth graders about um just suicide and mental health and that kind of thing while the other high schoolers went and listened to a speaker and then we went in with the younger kids and listen to the speaker ourselves. So, it's just very cooperative and people get to choose which groups they go in. So, then they're really like understanding as to what's every what's going on. And then each day we really feel like makes a
026big impact. And we used to do base camps every Friday or every Friday once a month. And we feel like these days we were able to take a bigger chunk of time and really focus in on these things rather than just like a half hour at the end of the day. So, yeah. >> All right. All right. So, this is our first main one that we did. This is self-care. So, this day basically all the students got to pick their favorite activities. Um, there was camping, running, walking, >> um, >> baking. >> Yoga. Yeah, I did yoga. There's there's there's countless options. So, students feel like, you know, just a break from class and you got to pick from two. So, one hour sessions, you got to pick from two. And then like the bigger
027ones like movies were two hours long. So just kind of mental break day thing day. >> Our next one was gratitude. And we decided to do this one the day before Christmas break just to fill our hearts with gratitude before all the before the holiday season. Um we did a lot of stuff this day. We actually took up the whole day for this day. So we started out our day with an optional worship and prayer service with Pastor Aaron. And after that, we made ornaments and um >> what was the other thing? >> Cards. Yes. To give to the elementary students later in the day so we could spread um gratitude with them as well. And we just had a lot of fun. We also um had a rock paper scissor competition at the end
028of the day and it was a lot of fun just to I don't know fill our hearts with gratitude like I said. >> All right. And then our third session was mind matters and we had a guest speaker Melissa Haney from the grant kindness foundation and she shared the importance of why our mental health uh is is so important to take care of. Um and we did a backtoback session. So for about 45 minutes she spoke to our students and while like uh Sid was saying then um either the hope squad members um and staff then gave a presentation on why it's important to focus on our mental health and then we flip-flop with the the middle school and then the high school students. So that was in January. And then our last one, >>
029so we talked about resiliency and our guest speaker was Joel Hodingford and he was really good. He came in, he knew exactly what he was going to say and I feel like he really spoke to us and throughout his he shared his life experiences which I feel like hits us more than just a normal everyday speech to someone standing reading off a paper. and he just really talked about pushing through different things whether it's big or small to you and it doesn't matter what people think about it it's more of what you go through and support and surrounding yourself with the right people and just pushing through like no matter what circumstances he talked about sports and how he went and he was he went to the NFL and then got cut and it was
030something that was life-changing because that was his whole life so it was basically talking about how no matter how you think your life's going it's it could go off track and how to push through through that. >> Okay, hope week. We just ended this last week and it's a lot of fun. We take a whole week up and we come up with spirit days for each day and before the day starts, we have a grade from Hope Squad come in and hide rocks. So, if you find a rock, like painted rocks, you can get a prize. >> Yeah. So every morning along with that we also hope squad members hand out students they hand out bracelets and um like I think we hand out squishy stuff just you know fun stuff and greeting the kids
031in the morning is always fun. Um and also there's prizes involved. So those who dressed up every day of the week you get to put a ticket and it was a random draw and then whoever won got Airpods. So >> nice gifts incentive. So the rest of the year, so hope week's like our big week. Um, so we've obviously wrapped that up and then we are rest of the year plans is thank you for fueling our hope. So we are going to fund for a coffee truck. Actually the meabond is going to come for coffee for our staff for them just supporting us, helping us, helping our kids and just being great. And then we're going to do hype and hope which these guys don't know about really yet but we were planning a day
032for them because our kids are great. Like Hope Squad wouldn't be what it is without them. Like in just watching how like when the sixth graders came over, was that last one? >> Like in just listening to our kids talk to them like we have the best kids to talk about. >> Yes, we do. >> All right. And that wraps it up. So, are there any questions uh from the board about Hope Squad? I >> I would just like to say two things that weren't covered, but I'd like to share with everyone. Um, you mentioned it was at Capitol Conference and some of us sitting here were in that and said we have to take this to Tusky Valley and it's been just a joy. But the kids who are picked are picked by their
033peers, okay? And it's not the popular kids always. It's the kids that they feel they can trust to come to and talk to. And um that's been enlightening and just gives those kids even a bigger boost. And then they are well trained to handle and prepare themselves. And kids are a lot, especially at high schoolers, they they don't want to talk to me or they don't want to talk to the counselor. They want to talk to their peers that they know they can trust and have time to do that, especially when something comes up, whatever it is. So, you guys, I'm so proud of you that you were picked a part of that and that you were so active and I really appreciate you being here today. So, thank you so much. >> Thank you,
034Mrs. Mrs. Limbacher needs a picture. >> Oh, yeah. You want to come back? >> Do you want me to do it? Are you okay? >> I I'm sure if I fall down, but >> I don't know what she does with the pictures. I never in the bargain. Thank you. >> Okay. She she'll help me with >> Thanks, guys. Great job. >> All right. Item number six, leadership team reports. Mrs. Clemens is eager to get started. >> I just read the agenda. Actually, I really don't have anything new to report other than our next meeting. I'll give you the full um report on after school program final numbers. We do have about 150 to 155 students registered for this last spring program and we are starting planning for summer program. So we're excited about that. We
035already have I think close to 10 teachers that have signed up to help support the summer program. So we're looking at data to see who to invite um to see if we can get full enrollment there. >> Thank you, >> Mr. Phillips. First of all, I'm glad that Andrea got the message. We were going black pants and gray tops today. I don't know about the rest of the group. >> So, just this >> as far as like my report, Dr. Bransky pretty well summed it up for how things are going, but I'll just add um I didn't hear the statement, but I was told what the statement was by um Mr. Stump, who we all know, that it had something to do with after the basketball game, how good our basketball team, girls basketball team
036was. And he said, "But I just want people to know they're even better people." And I think that like sums it up. Um, we're going to start off with our athlete of the month, which is Sydney Miller. She was just here a couple months ago at our shortest meeting we've had in a long time. Just kidding. Um, so she is our athlete of the month. Um she is the daughter a senior the daughter of Jeff and Jennifer Miller. Um she plays volleyball, basketball. She is obviously in hope squad and um part of the PAL program. In her free time she likes to play pickle ball shop and hang out with her friends and family and her animals. And um after graduation she plans to go to Walsh and major in uh exercise science on the
037physicians assistant track. So congratulations And there's a theme today. Um, every one of them plans to go into the medical field in some capacity, which is also pretty awesome. Next, uh, fine arts of the month, Shelby Hillis, and she is also a senior. She's the daughter of Heather Heather Hillis and Jeremy Hillis. and her school activities include cheer, select choir and TV online, and her hobbies include spending time with friends, working, um, which kudos to her. She asked if it was important to be here because she was working right today and she had to get off early. So, I said it's really up to you, but I appreciate the fact that she came. Um, and she likes to spend um, game nights at home with her family. And after graduation, she plans to attend University
038of Akran to study nursing. And our student of the month is Malia Dylan. Malia >> is the daughter of Shawn and Jen Dylan. And her activities include cross country. She was part of the basketball team, TV online, and most importantly, she's the office at the end of our day. She's great. um her free time, she enjoys hanging out at the farm, going to Seven Brew, which I had to ask what that was before I announced it. And evidently, it's a coffee shop that I had never heard of before because I don't drink coffee that often. Um and she likes to playing with Duke and Mr. Bean. Is that all part of Seven Brew? >> Oh, Duke is Mr. Beans and one of our dogs. >> Yes. >> See, learning learning. Um, after graduation, she plans
039to attend Stark State and become a physical therapist assistant. CONGRATULATIONS. >> OH, YEAH. SORRY. Can you all three come back, please? >> Oh, sorry. No, she No, Jason. There we go. >> Congratulations. >> Okay, Mr. Street. >> Okay, I'll keep it short and sweet. Uh, I don't have anything in addition to my report except for I just want to thank Dr. Fansky and the board um for allowing us to uh post those positions as early as we did for our open fifth and sixth grade because you hear a lot in education about like quality of candidates and having a shortage of people applying and we had excellent excellent candidates. I feel like we were the first to the punch and I'm excited for our new hires that um you'll hopefully be approving later in the
040agenda. So just thank you for that and it it makes a difference. Thank you, Mr. Pan. >> So, the only new thing I have to add is we have completed out here on the baseball field. The flag pole is up, went up today. Um, all the sheet metal work on the dugouts was completed today along with the gutters were hang hung. Um, I don't anybody's been out to look at it. Derek, did you get out today? >> Not today yet. >> Okay. Um, >> we'll talk about >> tomorrow, Mr. tomorrow, but it it looks very nice. We're going to complete everything far as got some painting to be done by a local artist, not artist, but Kathy Warzac from Mineral. Um, and we go from pushing snow to we're going to start mowing grass soon.
041So, the green stuff is here. So, other than that, everything looks very good around the campus and our staff has been working very hard. >> Thank you. >> Okay, Scott, do we have any current construction going on? Are we >> Oh, yes. >> on hold. What What con? We got the wellness center project going on. Um, and we always have something to bring you. >> Okay. >> So, we don't have anything because it's not doing anything right. >> All right. Moving on to item number seven, new business consent agenda.

So, what this will allow us is so typically even
043though uh Mr. Mr. Frank's normal job is done in June. He never goes home in June. He's here throughout the summer. Uh Mr. Ward is not starting until August 1. So what this allows us to do is make sure we have coverage throughout the summer and then it gives a month to Mr. Ward just as we get the fall season underway. The first time Matt's doing everything completely on his own. We have full confidence in him, but it's helpful just to have that second eye like don't forget to um and so Mr. Franks has agreed to stay on until the end of August. So we appreciate that. >> Okay.
