004Remarks from visitors. There's a lot of visitors here. >> There are anyone want to speak? >> Am I allowed to talk? >> You have three minutes. >> Absolutely. Okay. >> Okay. Good evening everybody. Um I want to make this short and sweet. Um, we did make a press release earlier this week with PSEA and I think that the press release in itself speaks speaks for itself. But with that being said, we all of us teacher-wise are excited to get back into the classroom with our students, meet our new students, but we also can't not take into account the fact that we are working with our contract. So we are excited also then to come to the table um and continue negotiations. >> Thank you. >> Anyone else? >> Okay. Thank you. Representatives >> tonight. recognize.
005>> So the first thing on my list is to recognize our Mike's Nation live crew. Rena Walker, Alex to to Abby Ray. Thank you so much. >> Thank you guys. Administrative reports, superintendent report. Mrs. B. The first thing that I have on my agenda is um the PSBA has sent us a recognition for Mr. May in recognition of his 10 years of service on the on the next thing we um we had in service this week. Um Mr. May did a update on the legal training. In addition, we had standard aligned standard aligned systems training, kid writing, heardy, use of AI, and sematic skills in the classroom. Mr. Townsen conducted a technology training which included technology security. Chief Miller conducted the safety training in each in each building. We're conducting evaluations to uh gain the
006insight on whether or not the staff enjoyed the inservice and and get insight on what we can do next and work on next. Meet the teacher was held on Tuesday, August 9th. We had participation in all buildings. The elementary was a little more than the high school, but that's to be expected. Um the principles and myself attended the Cole show. We had a table set up. We met uh members of the community. We didn't get a lot of people by the table, but I think we did meet a couple people with some suggestions for what we can do better in the school district. So, it was a great great success from my opinion. The local auditors are in the district. They started today. They'll be here today and tomorrow and then they'll return in October,
007early October, so that we can get our financial reports done. The uh virtual family gram was released early this earlier this week. The first day of students is Monday, a August 25th. And I wanted to t thank our coaches and our band uh leaders because they've been working diligently with the kids to prepare them for the upcoming seasons. And thank you to you all. You guys had a great and service. So, thank you. That completes my report. >> Thank you, Mrs. Elliot principal, Mrs. Sacka. >> Thank you. I've included um just some numbers in terms of our enrollment as of today that we're anticipating starting with on Tuesday. Um some dates and different things that all of you can read the dates. But the biggest thing I'm going to go ahead and talk about the
008chill mobile tonight. It is on the agenda. Um back in March, Alageney Health Network did a presentation for the board. Um this is a tier one program for social emotional learning. If you remember, that program was $19,000. We received grant funding. Um the grant that we applied for to put toward this program um we did not get. However, Alagany Health reached out to me um a week ago and told us that we qualified for a scholarship. Their community partnerships underwent some uh change in structuring and they now have scholarships available. So, they had us on their radar. we can bring this program to the district um at no cost. It is a oneweek roll out over three visits. I had a meeting with them today and we did select dates should this get approved. I
009have those on here. Um and if you remember it is a retrofitted RV that they take on site. Um, and then there are also materials that every classroom that participates, which would be every classroom at the elementary, um, except prek because it's only a pre-k program. It's a K to 5 program. They would then get that those materials for their classrooms. Um, and our meet and greet was well attended. I don't have numbers. Um, and the other thing we did I I'm doing a change in bus procedures to do that. A survey was sent out in July. We did receive 98 responses from families um that indicated what you know what buses they would need um if there in fact was a need for two bus assignments because we are trying to streamline and make
010our dismissal procedures safer. And last, I would like to commend Hali Yakapovich, our an incoming fifth grader who participated in the district open house or in service. Um, she opened in service for us on Monday by reading a book that Mrs. Todd selected and I think she did a great job. And that concludes my report. >> Thank you, Mrs. Sacka. >> Middle school principal, Mr. Polley. >> Thank you, Mr. President. On August 5th, we did hold sixth grade orientation. and we had about 48 students out of the uh 70 sixth graders come up to that orientation. So, it was very wellreceived. Um, as far as the numbers, we plan on opening the middle school with about 204 students. That's what was in the student information system as of 3:00 this afternoon. Um, if it's all
011right with you, Mr. Manhart, I would like to thank Mr. Steak and our maintenance staff here for all the hard work that they do in their new summer. It goes unrecognized. It's really it's gut-wrenching work. So, Gary, thank you for that and all your your people that you have. I also want to thank Kate Hillsman and Green County Department of Park and Recreck. Um, as a parent whose wife works and has five kids. Our kids go to this camp every summer. We have students that are enrolled here now. Students that have been enrolled in Carmichaels. My kids love those students. They act as day camp counselors, lifeguards, you know, guest wreck uh relations uh workers out there. Just thank you to the Department of Rex uh and and want to be park in all the
012places because uh my kids love that camp. It gives me somewhere to send them during the day that I feel safe with. Uh so, Miss Hillsman, wherever you're out in there, thank you for all your work with our kids. And thank the kids. I know there's a list of them, but uh you know, I know my fourth grader could name them all. So, thank you to those kids. And that concludes my report. M >> Thank you, Mr. B, senior high school principal. >> Thank you, Mr. Manhart. As you would expect, um the high school is very busy right now with sports and camps um and all the different areas. Um I'd like to recognize our two teachers, Miss Bell and Mrs. Thomas, who were Star Foundations back to school winners. So, congratulations to them. I'd
013also like to welcome our three new teachers. Um we had new teacher induction on August the 15th. We also had some of our students, um one of which who is with us tonight participate in aviation day. Um Alex Hoff over here on the camera was part of that. Um, we also had our 70th annual Cole Show. Um, and I'm proud to say that our senior representative, Miss Abby Ray, up there on the cameras, um, was a runner up. So, congratulations to her. Our meet the teacher night open house. U, um, we had 181 parent signatures, so I thought that was pretty good. I also held uh ninth grade orientation um which is always a nice way to not only welcome the ninth graders but also give them an overview of what is different between middle
014school and high school and how much um nth grade matters. Um you know I tell the ninth graders every year that nth grade is more important than your senior year because when you're applying for colleges and jobs and stuff your transcript's not done until the very end of your senior year. So I certainly um appreciate that. I al I also appreciate u Mrs. Hannah Pinto, Miss Jen Pelen, and um Miss Katie Sleeman, they joined me at that. So, we were able to not only have Miss Hannah Pinto's Carmichael's uh point of view about the uh 9th grade orientation, but we were able to give them a quick overview of the CTC and the opportunities there. I'd also like to recognize Miss Shimco, um our history teacher. She was awarded um backpacks to share program. So,
015she has backpacks and supplies um for students in need um that we'll be giving out um on the first day of school um whenever they need stuff. Um a couple other things going on. We have volleyball going to Florida um pretty soon. So, we wish them luck in their competitions there. And certainly this Saturday, if you're able to, please come out and support our band at the King Cole Parade. Um my current enrollment numbers numbers are listed there. And that concludes my report. >> Thank you, Mrs. D. Mr. Then technology report. Thank you, Mr. Medart. Uh, update on the PCCD grant equipment. We installed three new wide-angle cameras uh that are functional. Exterior of the building, one interior middle school third floor uh stairwell calendar. Um, elementary intercom and the interior office cameras scheduled to
016be next. I'd like to thank Officer Miller and Gary Cirk for their assistance in both mounting the cameras and running cabling. I'd also like to throw in a help or a thank you to Mr. Buckton who helped uh secure us a a man lift to uh install some of that equipment. Um, student information, student information systems updated. So, ALMA's live, securely pass is live, undated, accelerated reader, destiny, study island, DRC, CDT testing, and I'm currently working on some pins reports that are due by the end of the month. Uh, athletic opportunity and the child accounting are in progress uh with mostly being completed as of today. Student Chromebooks have been powerwashed, labeled, and delivered uh to the updated home rooms for the 2526 school year. Um any teachers missing Chromebooks uh either submit a ticket
017or send me an email and mainly I have some repairs left to finish before I can deliver those devices. Um we implemented a technology trouble ticket at uh inservice that my training did and uh happy to say that I've had 35 responses pretty much instantly after I opened that system. The data is in my uh report that's attached to your board reports. Uh percentages of where those uh tickets came from and the type of equipment that the teachers have had trouble with. And if there's no questions, that concludes my report. >> When are the Chromebooks do you think will be phased out? >> I don't know that we'd ever transition out of a onetoone. That would be obviously administrative decision. Um as far as their security updates, uh we're closely quickly approaching the security end
018of life for the elementary devices. I want to say, I'd have to check, but I want to say somewhere around 2037. Um, obviously the middle school high schools are newer, so they would extend into like the 2097 2027. My >> quit making them what, three years ago, >> two years ago, >> crumbled devices. No, they're they're still being manufactured. >> There was a new product taking >> the Windows 10, maybe that's what you're referring to. Um, it goes end of life this October. So, they're then they're pushing you into Windows 11, the license, >> which is a Windows 5 one. Technolog is always changing and it's fast. That's for sure. >> That concludes my >> Thank you, sir. Supervisor, Mr. Siri. >> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. We are at the end of summer cleaning. All
019the classrooms are cleaned and ready for the first day of school. The gym floor has been sealed at the elementary center. The floor in the elevator at the high school middle school has been replaced. The floor that was lifting up in our high school cafeteria has been cut and glued back down. Uh, the simplex fire alarm system has been fixed and all the batteries have been replaced for the start of the school year. The railing on the green street side of the middle school has been fixed along with the one in front of the elementary center. The football field goal post and 25 second clock posts have been painted. Me and Officer Miller put up parking lot signs for staff and visitor parking. I would like to thank Advance Reynold for letting us a man
020lift. Um, I also got to speak and meet with the architect about the scupper installation on the fieldhouse roof and he sent a letter over to the roofing company with two different options on how to do that installation. I spoke to the roofing company. They did not tell me yet which option they're going with. I'm waiting for them to get back to me with that. And then today I spoke with someone from Sergeant Electrical, his name was Nathan around 3:00 and he informed me of three upcoming power outages that are going to happen here. and I'm working with him so that they don't for them to try not to affect any school or any sporting events held here on campus. And if there are no questions, that completes my report. >> Are they going to
021come this week or you don't talked to Craig the architect about the two options on the U replacement? >> I talked to Glenn called me this week and told me he would get back to me as soon as he his company decides which option they were going with. >> Can we get the scaffolding out of there? I mean, do we know exactly where it's going? It's going to stay in the exact same spot. They're not moving. It's going to they're either going to raise it up to brick or they're going to cut into that roofing insulation and go down. >> What if we take the scaffolding out of there and I'll get you a man lift and they can cut it from the outside. That way >> that that >> that way we can get
022that out of there. You can use your track cuz your football's starting, right? >> That correct? >> Yeah. That that'll be fine. I mean, just as long as it's safe for the kids, they should be done with it. According to the architect and and Glenn and Craig both, they said it should be done in one day when they come to do it. It should be a one day deal. >> Well, I'll try to tear that out here this week or this weekend. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Any other questions? >> I'm I I was fortunate enough to come to open house. My grandchildren were here. The buildings looked great. The facilities look great. The teachers all had their rooms uh decorated and ready for school. Everybody was very engaging. It was a great day and
023I I compliment you on having fil. >> Thank you. >> Any other questions? >> Okay. Thank you, Terry. Okay. On the committee reports, human resources, Mr. S. >> Thank you, Mr. Motion to approve the substitute list amend addendum as presented. >> Second. >> Any questions? All in favor? >> I opposed. Motion carries. >> Motion to approve the first reading of policy 237, electronic devices as presented. >> We have a second. Second. Any questions? >> Questions. >> Question. >> Mr. uh I understand that during service we had some uh teacher input into this into this program. I'm I'm not 100%. I I think our first reading means that it it can still be tweaked. There's still can be changes. Is that correct, Mr. Mason? >> That's correct. >> Okay. So, I'm not comfortable voting on implementing
024this program 100%. without having teacher input, without having a little more uh input into this because I think that the yonder path is a one very good alternative but right now that's the one we're looking at but there are other options and I before I make it a policy I would like to have as much input as I can. So did you get very much input from your teachers? Um, so we had a meeting. I met with the high school teachers and, you know, we shared information of what you guys were looking at and the timeline because I wanted to be transparent because it's kind of quick and they're very much involved. And I got some feedback. Um, some I I won't say feedback as much as questions. Um, you know, I got a lot
025of why why are we using these pouches type questions concerns some of the stuff that we talked about whenever Yonder presented to us the concerns that you know with with how how are we going to monitor these like how are we going to manage those those type of questions um I got questions about but I use that device for and it was all educational stuff like the science teachers are concerned about how they use to record labs I've got um you know communications teachers that are concerned about, you know, they're listening to podcasts while they're editing their podcast. So, I I I had educational concerns come to me. So, I've been having conversations with the teachers about it, but you know, I don't really >> my my point is how does that information get to
026me because I have to make a decision on policy. So, I would like some type of communications through that. Excuse me. You know, I trust our administrators. I I I think our board members to a person think that there needs to be a lot stronger policy on cell phones and I think it'll make our district much better if we can control the cell phones. But I want to make sure that the policy we we roll out is the correct one and that it's well thought out before we do. That's all that's all my concern. >> Was it I thought that someone said along the way that like before the segment reading there's going to be a teacher panel or something. Was that a thing? We talked about pushing out um information and how we would
027implement it to to the staff once we did the first reading and then if we had any information come back that we could do any kind of changes. >> Yeah, that's exactly >> and Mr. May just to address your concern. I just met with them or the the >> I I don't I'm not a proponent of rushing this policy into making it effective. I think we need to take our time. It obviously didn't make the first day of school deadline. So, we're gonna have to do this in the middle of the year, which which has its advantages actually, but it doesn't there's no emergency. So, I'm I'm just I would like to make sure we have everybody all in the same phase before we before I vote. >> Sure. And as I shared with you
028before for the previous policy, we had a whole panel that went through it. And it wasn't just teachers. It was teachers, administrators, board members, students. So, that has not happened. If that's what you're asking for. >> Will that happen before the second reading? >> I don't know. Well, I I didn't know if that's >> I would like something like that to happen. So, I'm I'm an informed board member. I don't I don't feel that I know everything there is to know about electronic calls. I sure I can barely use my cell phone decide uh you know how much it's supposed to be around. >> And I did, you know, during that meeting I will share with you that I did tell the teachers that, you know, to get this I I'll use the word ease
029to ease into this. you know, in the classroom. It's still the same policy where it's their right, you know, it's their classroom, but I would strongly encourage them to have the kids put the cell phones away in the classroom from the beginning. You know, when you're setting up your classroom procedures, it's very easy to start that way. >> Okay. I just let again and sometimes I I talk to a lot of teachers. I I have a lot of issues and they're not very forthcoming a lot of times. A lot of times they don't like to say things, but if you want me to make an a good decision on this or the rest of us, then I need your input. And if I don't get it, then it'll be a policy that, you know, and
030I'm sure you'll enforce any policy we make. Of course, you know, I I have no doubts about that. I just want to have the thing done right. Just all that's all. >> Any other questions? this first three, right? >> This this vote we have tonight is not to like order pouches or >> we won't order them until the next till the the two. We could in the timeline we were going to, but we we don't need to order them until after the second reading. When we talked to um the Yonder Company, they had them in stock. So, we can wait until the next reading and if and if that's the direction, we go order them. They they weren't they did not indicate that they had a backlog of not being able to get us the
031the pouches if we implement it. So we do not have to order them today. >> Okay. Anyone else? Okay. Being that this is the first reading, all in favor? >> I >> opposed. Motion carries. >> Motion to approve the 2025 2026 agreement with Green County Human Services as presented. Second. >> Any questions? All in favor? >> I opposed.
