Uh we're going to go into executive session recap with Mr. Mata. >> Yes, we uh um started our executive session at 5:15. We ended approximately uh 650. Um we had personnel matters that uh we covered. We um
002also had some security issues that that we covered as well. Um what else? Uh contracts um and potential litigation. >> All right. Thank you. And moving along into the superintendent's report. >> Thank you, Mr. President. I'll be brief. I just want to stress it has been an extremely busy week from the school district standpoint. Uh all employees are returning. Some never left. I'm sorry. Some never left with uh the district and from being full-time employees throughout the summer. Uh but with the the staff returned Monday morning. A special thank you to our food service, Tissa Gel, and her entire staff there for a great breakfast that they were able to afford. We started on Monday again with that uh district-wide introduction, myself and Dr. Long. Uh met with our entire team. We had an introduction
003of the uh dairy area school district foundation from Miss McKesca TSA providers and AFLAC as well as uh the employee assistance program representatives from outside agencies with requirements that are uh that need to be done annually with our staff were also taken into play. Um teachers went through a long list of professional development at Grand View at the middle school and at the high school. some of which include ECRI which um is for the kindergarten teachers, title one teachers, learning support, positive behavior intervention and supports. We went through act 86 which is a diabetic training. Um so we have to go through a training with our teachers for students who may have diabetes. Um we had back to school night. Uh Grand View did a great job on Tuesday for grades 1, three, and five
004and then 2, four, and six on Wednesday. Uh yesterday we also went through ACT 71 suicide prevention training. that's required annually. Um, as well as our teachers went through and those teachers would be science, social studies, learning support with ELA as well. From a Collins writing standpoint, we realize how important writing is across the curriculum and the evidence-based, researchbased part of Collins writing brings that into light across the curriculum, which is extremely important. Uh, Dr. Long and I were around the district as well again on Wednesday seeing the ECRE training that our teachers were taking place at Grand View. um as well as some seminars across the district with managing student behaviors. Um Thursday today, some of our newer teachers went through a Heggertity training um as well as the ELA FCO online training which
005is for in enhancing instruction as well as interpreting data. We had a CPI training for crisis prevention in inst the crisis prevention institute which is mainly deescalation training of where you're allowed to touch students or anyone for that matter if it's uh to deescalate a situation or protect yourself from harm or someone else. Teachers went through department meetings as well as going through our website and making the annual updates that are required with the uh the updates. This morning we had the ninth grade new student orientation at the high school. Mr. Arone, Mrs. Dubich, thank you for your hard work there. And currently at the middle school, we have meet your school night that's taken place. So, uh, not a whole lot going on this week as you can tell from just four days. Um,
006and then tomorrow, our year one new teachers come back for an induction training where Dr. Long and I meet with them going over professional ethics as well as the data warehouse systems that we have to monitor, track student achievement, student performance, and then our uh, Mr. Raymond as well as Dr. Perry are going to take them on a tour uh of the uh school district to show show our new inductees and our our new hires where our students come from. Once again, special thank you to cafeteria, our technology secretaries, custodial maintenance administration, third party contractors, to our school board, our families, and our students. We thank you very much for your support. I want to mention one more thing about how I'm going to change our superintendence report in the future. I'm going to encompass
007Miss McKesca. Um she's going to be providing what blurb with the Dair Area School District Foundation at the very end of the superintendence report. And now I have the ability through the Trojan Sphere that we have over 12,000 email addresses. So every month when we do the superintendence report, we'll include the foundation in there and then engage our our uh district's Trojan Spear network with that superintendence report. Okay, that's it, Mr. President. Thank you. >> All right. Thank you. Uh, moving along to presentations, FMX scheduling and pool recreation. Mr. Raymond, >> good evening everybody. Um, as he said, uh, just real quick, we want I want to go over, uh, the reopening of the Dair area, uh, district pool. This is something we put a lot of time and effort into. Uh, the pool, as
008you can see, our goal is to have the swimming pool reopened for reservations and open swims um, the weekend after Labor Day, so September 6th. Um, you can book birthday parties, uh, private groups. These are going to be done through, as you can see, DA pool at DSAD US. Uh, we hired a pool recreation supervisor, Mr. Brendan Climchalk. Um, he will be in charge of working with our lifeguards, handling the reservations. I will also be assisting him in that, but he will be the face of um, the Dair area district pool. The pool availability will be Saturdays 3 to 6, Sundays 12 to 3. Um that will be during the open swim time where you can book a party, but those will be open swims every weekend um with the exception of holidays or weekends
009where maybe Brennan and or lifeguards don't have availability. So please you'll want to check our FMX website which is our new scheduling software. I will go into more detail in a little bit. Uh, birthday parties. Um, like I said, they can be in the open swim hours, one party per three-hour session. Um, as you can see, they can be set up with two hours in the pool, one hour out. Um, you can also have a private party by request. Again, those are going to be per the availability of the pool. Um, whether that's swim meets, practice, other reservations, um, are all taken into account. Uh the pricing will be based off our uh district policy 707. As you can see, there's broken into two different groups. Group four, group five. So that's residents, non-residents, or
010private groups. Um $300 for uh up to 25 swimmers. And that's all based off ratio for our lifeguards. Um and is that $400 and I can't see that far, but >> 450. It's $450. And then group five is 375 and >> 575. And and group four would be residential for profit or group five, those that are not in our residents in the district. So, yep. >> Just a little bit about the open swims. Um, children under 12 will need to be supervised by an adult. Um, an adult can supervise a party or more than one kid, but they have to have somebody responsible. Guests will have to sign in upon arrival. Um, this will help kind of cover the supervision part of it. Adults do not have to swim to supervise. They can sit in
011the upper deck and uh view from up there. They do not have to be they don't they aren't charged as well. So, it's $5 per person for the open swim. Um, again, this is this would be cash only. And again, pricing could vary depending if it's a special event, something we might do around the holidays, but that'd be listed and put out in social media before something like that would happen. Swim lessons is also something we'd like to bring to the Dair Area School District pool. We are not quite there yet. We're going to start with the open swims, the pool reservations and parties, but the idea to be structured a lot like where you would see swim lessons traditionally, maybe like a YMCA or something of the like. Um, broken down into groups um
012by age and ability. This would all be, you know, dictated as well from our pool supervisor who does have experience in this, is lifeguard certified, has been a swim coach, so he does have uh some expertise in this field, but again, we're not quite there yet. We will list all this and put it out there in social media when we're ready to go. How to make a reservation. So reservations we made through da pool at dsad. us. This will be listed on our school facility use website. So if you go to our school website, departments facility use pool. Um those website updates are coming, but that will be ready before September 6th. You go on there and you can book your pool reservations for you would email then you would conf with the dates you're
013interested in. You would get a confirming email the times. You'd have to fill out the proper paperwork. Um you'd have to make your security deposit. Those would all be explained in the documentation sent to you when you uh inquire about a reservation to find open dates. So, you do not book a party through FMX, but FMX is where the um this through the school calendar where you will see what dates are reserved, open um we will have the open swim hours listed, but we also list if there's a party happening at the same time. But again, you can find out all that information by emailing the uh poolwork supervisor da uh pool. But if you go right now on our facility use, if you're a community member, if you're staff, uh you should have gotten
014an email, but you haven't done it yet. You can go to our facility use page and you can make an account and you can make any kind of request if that's for uh the baseball field um using one of the gyms. You can enter your request just like our old facility software. We're just using a new program. But again, you cannot book parties through FMX. Just a general oversight of what I just spoke about. Open swims Saturdays and Sundays starting September 6th. Uh 3 to 6 on Saturdays, Sundays 12 to 3. And again, please check FMX is important because there may be weekends the pool is closed. It may not be a holiday, but it could be for other reasons. It could be us hosting some sort of event for Aqua Club, the high school
015team, something like that where we will not have swim hours. So, please be sure for the most accurate updates, check the website. Um that's $5 per person and uh children under 12 or 12 and under will need a super supervision. And again, this is list the pricing for uh pool parties in each group. And that information will also be able to be found on the facilities use page. Once all that's updated on there, we'll have this listed in full policy 707s available for through board docs. >> And that's it. Nick, if you could, thank you very much. If you could go back a couple slides, please right there. Board policy 707, which has the administrative regulations also here in the facility use part for reference. And what we'll do to make this easy, >> is
016make we also have the start of school, right? So, that's important, but we'll put this on the main page under news and announcements essentially as a shortcut so people don't have to go through the district website to try to uh access where this may be hidden or buried essentially for the time being until we're able to coach them through. >> Okay, any questions? >> I'm happy to see it's back in action and starting to roll out in the the right way. Um, but anyone else? >> I just want to thank you and Mr. remain for your work on the FMX solution. I know that was a lot of work to get that up and running and to have that now forward facing on the website to have it syncing with athletic calendars and everything. I
017think that's a huge uh huge kudos to you two because I know you two are very critical in getting that off up and running. So, >> thank you. And yes, it's good to mention as well. So, the full athletic schedule or any school events will be listed on FMX as well. So, if you're looking for when a school dances or when the next baseball game is, that will all be on there. You can filter through. It's it's a it's powerful software so you can kind of customize it the way you want it. Um but again if you have questions feel free to call into uh my office but there is plenty of good help videos on the FMX website and again there's uh the information to make an account all all on that facility use
018page. >> Thank you. Appreciate your time. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> All right. Schoolwide title one plan high school TSA. Miss Mlan and Miss Dubage, >> I just wanted to state um like as the ladies are making the way up here is that this this is part of a communication plan. It's part of the ESSA uh federal responsibility where we do um have a responsibility uh to communicate our schoolwide plan to the public. I know a lot of school districts simply put on the website. However, we like doing a public presentation so our community is informed so we're all on the same page and there's transparency in the process. Ladies, thank you for being here tonight. >> Thanks, Dr. >> Good evening. Um Lisa and I wanted to share our schoolwide goals with you
019tonight. I'm going to start with the elementary building at Grand View. Um earlier this week at Grand View, we communicated our goals also to our faculty and staff. Um not only our goals for this year, but also what we attained um in relation to our goals that we set last year. So we landed on three goals for Grand View this year and the first being a math goal. Um this focus this year instead of going with K through five, we're going to center the focus on grades three through five. uh namely because that group of teachers has participated in some very intense professional development that fortunately has been provided by our in-house teachers such as Mrs. Jackie Chimino who is our title one math teacher. Um they're going to continue that development. Uh we're working
020with um the formation of small flexible groups and moving on data that we get from the EXL math program. Um that program is very wellreceived. um it is diagnostic in nature and it helps us to um drive our instruction. The second goal I'm truly excited about is the ECRI goal and that stands for enhanced core reading instruction. I wanted to note that the um that the elementary school uh this past year started step one in the MTSS framework. because of the strides we were making with the framework um the intention that we had, we actually qualified for a grant, an $18,000 grant that um falls under systemic change because of the advancements we were making in the building. That funding has provided opportunity for us to have ECRI uh not only this year but following
021next year with grade one and then in the year after with grade two. So, uh, ECRI is for tier 1 kindergarten. When we talk about tiers, remember we said they're not rooms you go to or people you see, but they're levels of support. So, tier one is instruction that every child gets in a particular grade level. Uh, we have uh professional development. We just participated in two days. Uh during our inservice week, we're going to have periodic coaching where Patton Pittsburgh and the WIU have representatives that are trained as well come in and work with our teachers all throughout the year. Um we're also looking at the language arts block itself and fine-tuning the time spent on components of literacy. And we're going to also look at benchmark data as well as a cadence data.
022and I've talked about it cadence at length before um to see how effective the implementation of this program is um in regard to our tier one instruction. And the very last goal, this is near and dear to our hearts at Grand View, is the parent and family engagement goal with um an aim of at least 75% of our families. Uh we were really blessed with the back to school nights. They were very well attended. There was a positive buzz in the community. Um, and we know that the most effective way to reach our children is through the families. Um, and so it was just a great uh couple of evenings and we look forward to many opportunities presented to our families. >> I will just say I think you accomplished that goal in the last
023two days based on my observation in the family events. You and Mr. Boring and the entire staff. Job well done. Thank you, Mrs. Dubich. Hello. >> Thank you very much. I want to talk about middle school title one goals. So we have three goals. Our first one is an ELA and we're focusing again on our text dependent analysis or writing assessment. Um we feel that that particular assessment will bring all the standards or most of the standards in that ELA field to that one assessment and so that we will know that the students are growing and so we're looking for those students at their post assessment to grow at least one point on that guideline that we use from the PSSAs. um in math by the end of the school year um on their state
024diagnostic testing which is in relationship to PSSAs we want them to grow at least 50% um of their predicted proficiency or at least one full years year's worth of growth um we're looking at that for our math goal and then then last for um our career standards I just saw the picture there so it kind of like threw me off there um all the eighth grade students have to have at least six pieces of evidence in career standards. And so by sixth grade, seventh grade, and eighth grade, we collect those. But by the eighth grade year, we have to have six. And so that on our future ready index will be blue is what we want it to be um for our our eighth grade and for the middle school. So those are our three
025goals. Um I also represent the high school. So >> thank you, Mrs. Dubich. >> Yes. And which button do I hit? tape on it. >> Oh, I guess that's a reason why it has tape on it. Um, okay. So, the TSI or targeted school improvement goals. I I um kept the same ones from last year because I didn't think that we needed to move and do something totally different because this is what we were um looking at to improve. So, attendance, we want to make sure our students are coming to school. We want to get them here. And so we're going to continue to use um outside agencies such as Brick Brothers, Big Sisters, outside support systems, use our shield or our um SAP team to to make that connection with students, use Mr. Espazito
026as our truency officer to um figure out what's going on and why our kids aren't coming to school. And so we're going to continue to do that and make those connections that we need to make with our students. Um our math goal um using Mr. Milin and his um ability to schedule some different students. We have two periods out of six day cycle in algebra and we're looking at enrolling those students in algebra 1. And we're also looking at those students with disabilities for the achievement in math to increase by 5%. And so we are looking to um give them more support in their math classes so by the end of the school year when they take that Keystone algebra test that we see that raise. Those are our goals. >> Okay. >> A fantastic
027job ladies. Thank you so much for sharing it. >> And that's not to torture our board and public through that. Those are requirements that we have to do with some federal funding that we receive that we have goals that are called smart, specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely. So ladies, thank you very much. And I know you have middle school meet your school nights. You are. >> Yes. >> Please be careful. >> I will. Thank you. >> All right. >> Thank you. >> All right. Visitor comments, agenda items only. Hello, my name is Sarah Crispen Thomas. I am on the foundation and also on the 4A steering committee. Um, I have a question around the motion to advertise for requests for proposals for architectural services. I'm hoping the board can provide some information, some clarification
028with the purpose of that, clarify what you're looking for and the purpose of that >> was 2022 was the last time the RFP went out for which was SHP. >> So part of what we've been looking at over the last year now was the different services that we put out for RFP. Like for example, the last one that we just did was a solicitor position. So that one hadn't been RFPD in 20 years I believe was what that was. The typical average was like 3 to 5 years. So whenever this came up for the architectural services, that's when we looked at okay, it was 2022, so we're just putting out for an RFP. >> So timing wise is now like it's because of timing. That's why you're looking to put an RFP out just due
029to timing. Three years >> whatever. >> I'm sorry if you don't mind, Mr. President. I think what the district's trying to do is just make sure that they um on a on a regular basis for professional services. They're putting out RFPs to make sure that they're getting the best services they can for the best cost to make sure the taxpayers are, you know, the tax dollars that we are spending is being spent in the appropriate manners. Okay. At one of the board meetings I was at when this policy came up and it was in discussion um of putting RFPs out for services that the school is receiving. There was a discussion around evaluations. So you were going to evaluate the current services. Has there been an evaluation of the current service that the architectural firm
030SHP is providing? I don't think there's any official evaluation that we've moved on that >> in any capacity yet. >> We have not. We have a tool that has been utilized, but I think I don't know when that policy was. Let me take a look at when it was approved. >> A couple meetings ago. >> Yeah, I'll I will find out for you. >> In general, I mean, I'll speak for myself on it. I mean outside of the RFP um the end result of the work SHP was doing I don't have a real issue with it was more so along the lines you know the last big one was the permit that we when was that year ago >> you talking the window permit >> yeah it would have been what a year and a
031half agoish yeah >> so like for example you know we have Mccclure Group and and whatever they give us as the the final price on something. If there's a change order that's due to an error based on what they do, they eat that cost. Whenever we went through with this, we had ended up having to figure out how to come up with was it 40,000? We had to figure out how to come up with $40,000 for that >> set by who's the permit set by? >> That was by the township, >> right? >> Yeah. That wasn't included in anything. So, it was like a basically a change order or correct me if I'm wrong on the terminology. >> Uh, you could call it that. Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> So, with that being said, I
032I'm the one that has to have it put on based on the RFP and the um that situation year ago. So, >> okay. Because, you know, we have been developing a relationship with this firm over the past three years. They've done the educational visioning. Um they have done the window project and most recently the project with the stadium which we have really good momentum going. We have a lot of good support. Um I have people that have participated in educational visioning asking where we are going with that. They really liked the services that were provided. And then I have donors asking you know we have been discussing phase two with the stadium project um and have spoken with a few of them and they are very happy with the services that have been provided with
033phase one. Um they're asking where we are going with phase two. And by starting over, not saying that's what would happen, but if another architectural firm would come in and we're starting over, we have invested so much time, they have invested so much time in getting to know the district, knowing the needs of the district. Um that really puts a halt to that momentum that we have been building over the last three years. So, I just wanted to voice my concern as someone that puts a lot of time, effort into the district and trying to do the things that we're doing. Uh, we have built a great relationship. Um, anybody that has worked with them, I I I haven't been asked. It's been a good relationship and we have seen success. So, I just feel
034like this is kind of halting what we're doing. Um, and I would hate to have to go backwards on all the momentum that we have. >> Well, I mean, at the moment, it's just a motion for an RFP. Whatever the board decides is whatever the board decides. And if it would happen to pass and go out for an RFP, they're more than welcome to put back in and whatever. >> But that really halts the momentum. So, we have to stop. We cannot start looking at phase two. We cannot start putting together plans. We have donors that are asking and we don't know who we're going to be working with. So, I'm just voicing that concern there that we have a lot of good momentum going, a lot of people that are very happy with what's
035going on. >> All right. >> Thank you, >> Mr. President. I just wanted to reiterate we did policy 610 was approved on June 26th of 2025. >> And in that time frame, a rubric was developed between Mr. Chapel, Mr. Dr. Long, and myself. But in that time since June until now, it has not been as as an attachment and just because of the timing of it with school starting and whatnot. But there is a rubric and evaluation tool that has been created. It just has not been brought to the board for approval yet >> from timing. Okay. >> I just want to review the timeline too, just to kind of go through, you know, the last time we went through this so that everyone's aware. Um, we did put this out for RFP August 4th
036of 2022 and ran it for three consecutive weeks. Uh, we had pre-proposal meetings and walkthroughs on August 25th of 2022. Uh, we did have three firms that attended that walkthrough, SHP being one of them. Um, on September 22nd, 2022, we had five proposals that were received, of which we brought three firms in for interviews. Then on September 30th of 2022, um that committee met and reviewed three different proposals. Um that committee uh was welcomed was our building and grounds committee, but uh the four people I believe that were on that uh were Dr. Forensic, Dr. Long, Mr. Miller at the time. I think m Mr. Urban may have been there as well and myself. Um and it was at that meeting uh that we had decided the recommendation was going to be SHP to move
037forward um you know, as the recommended firm. I think it was an overwhelming decision and then on October 6th of 2022 they were approved at that meeting and then that's when these services began. Uh for 2223 24 is when we conducted the feasibility master planning. Uh for 2324 is when we completed the window project and then 2425 is when we were working on the stadium entry project just to give a timeline of events so that everybody understood uh sort of how things transpired. >> Okay. Thank you. Any other visitor comments on agenda items only? All right, being none, we'll move along to personnel, resignations, retirements, and leaves. Any need pulled for discussion? So, A to D, do any need pulled for discussion? >> Should put the name. >> Yeah. So, I just want to go
038ahead and fill in the name. There was not a name on um motion C when this was distributed and made public. The the name will be filled in as Denise McCloski. D N I S E McCloskkey MC C L O S K E Y. >> Okay. All right. Motion to approve A to D as published on the agenda. >> So move >> second shower and Mr. Shaw. >> Yes. >> Questions, comments? All in favor? >> I >> opposed. >> Motion carries. Under personnel employment, do I need any pulled for discussion? We have one I believe without a name. >> Yes. F. That was Quinn Ferrell. >> Mhm. >> Q U I N. Last name Frell. F A R R E L L. >> Any pulled for discussion? All right. Motion to approve A to G
039as published on the agenda. >> Second. >> Is that Mr. Shaw and Miss Fish? >> Yes. >> Questions, comments? All in favor? >> I >> opposed. Motion carries under athletics. Any pull for discussion? A F. Do I need pull for discussion? under athletics. Okay. Motion to approve A to F as published on the agenda. >> So move. >> Second, >> Mr. Lynch. Miss Longwell. All right. Questions, comments? All in favor? >> Opposed? Motion carries. Moving along to business affairs, we have an addendum that we'll go through at the end. Do any need pulled for discussion? A to J under business affairs, do any need pulled for discussion? >> May I make a comment on a couple just as we go through this? So on motion B, Ligonier Valley Learning Center PreK Partnership Agreement. Uh this
040is our annual motion. Uh this is again at $399,000 in funds being provided for our prek uh classrooms here at Graanby Elementary. Uh when and if the state budget is passed, if this amount changes, an amendment will be issued uh potentially if we do receive additional funding. So at that time, we would then approve an amendment. Um I always like to touch on motion D, the Turner dairy milk contract. So we put this out to bid every basically every two years, and it does have a one-year renewal option on it. So, that one-year renewal option is for this 2526 school year. Uh, milk is up one penny across the board for all of these services. So, for approximately $425,000 units that will run through our cafeteria, that's about $4,200. Um, that would increase there and
041that's paid for by the food service fund. Uh, motion G. Um, I want to be clear on this. It's to approve the bid of a property and repository. Uh, this is not property that the district's purchasing. Uh this is simply a notice that we receive from the county that someone has put a bid on a property that essentially has unpaid taxes and in his repository. Uh since that uh has the district sign off on that authorization, we always do a motion on this to approve. So it's essentially just going from one taxpayer to another taxpayer and we'll get back on our books. Um so that is a property located in Dair Burough. So I just wanted to be clear on that that it was not the district purchasing property. Um is there anything else that
042needed commented on? Anyone have questions on any of those items? I don't think so. Any other comments or discussion for ADJ under business affairs? >> All right. Motion to approve A to J as published on the agenda. >> So move. >> Second. >> M shower. Mr. Lynch. Questions, comments? >> All in favor? I >> opposed. Motion carries. And then we have an addendum motion to amend the agenda to add item K under section 12 business affairs to include a vote on volunteer approvals due to the information becoming available after the agenda was published. Motion >> so move. >> Second. >> Mr. Lynch, Mr. Shaw. Questions, comments? All in favor? >> I >> opposed. Motion carries to add. Motion to approve additions to the position volunteer list for the 2526 school year pending receipt of all
043necessary clearances and documentation. And before we do that, I'll open up the public comment. Any public comment on the volunteer list addendum? Okay, questions, comments? All in favor? I >> I >> opposed. Motion carries. So we had Sorry, we have Mr. Lynch and we have Miss Longwell. All right. Visitor comments. Non-aggenda items. Non-aggenda items. All right. Other concerns of the board. >> Mr. President, I just wanted to add about that agenda, the uh addendum with the school year starting right around the corner. us the need to get that taken care of before September 4th. >> And so we wanted to wait to add the uh volunteers um until uh that time. I also wanted to stress if you have a chance, please take a look at the stadium uh the entrance team has done a
044wonderful job there. Uh, Miss Caitlyn Whiteitman is now uh adding information on the Trojan Spear um through the Facebook page, the foundation through Trojan Spear found or uh Facebook page as well with regarding to the uh Hall of Fame inductees.
