023uh or Mr wolforth in the curriculum office and that's all thanks other board members comments I just wanted to add there's um besides the two seniors that Dr gon mentioned uh jacobe Thompson Ryder I can't think of his last name and Mason are also Advanced to Regionals this weekend so they'll all be wrestling in Canton Mill I believe this weekend um I want to take up a bunch of time of our meetings talking about the mark budget but I want to go on records to say that I do not support any money from Crawford Central School District uh going to the mark and this is why um the mark sent us an operating budget uh that didn't even require a calculator to realize it was basically BS um so whoever put those numbers on paper
024is either incompetent or didn't think we would uh look at it at the numbers and if you get out a calculator it looks worse yet second the city of meville West me Township and Vernon Township all give taxpayer money to the Mark if craford Central School District also gives money a majority of that money comes from those same taxpayers so they're being doubled we double dipped on that so um finally the market is also contractually obligated to payments toward the biomass facility um there is no payments included on the budget that they gave to us so that's just I just want to go on record as to why I do not support any money being put in the budget for the mark board comments I just want to clear one that the Tribune had was
025kind of um misleading just a little bit among the possibilities mer continued are new entrance doors for schools also the board's agenda tonight is replacement of the doors at cocher and Junior Senior High School at a cost of $267,700 or about half the annual cost of a teacher the or about a half the annual cost of a teacher I made in reference to The $64,000 that per capita was going to take in not the entrance door so I don't want someone to think we're paying teachers $500,000 year um I just want to clarify that that if anybody was reading it that it was just hiring Ju Just a little confusion there I don't know what Mr Crowley did but um I wanted to point that out to you that it is wrong um the reference
026was to the per capita tax of the 64,000 um because we really didn't talk about the 267,000 on the uh doors other than we mentioned the doors so um if you can clarify that Mr Crow that be great thanks um no other comments if not motion for adjournment Monica second Ron um all in favor please say I I post same motion carried to adjourn at and we do have an executive session right after this meeting for personnel
