008fun refresh before the end of the year to wrap up it's truly been great to see all the time and dedication paying off across our Athletics and extracurriculars our students will continue to keep pushing forward and working hard as we head into the final quarter of the Year thank you all for your time tonight and go forwards thank you beatress next up we have the superintendent report from Dr rushi thank you Dr King um and the first part of of my report I'm going to turn over to Mr Ken Matthews uh from CB development to provide us with um a summary of the uh construction update good evening everyone uh so let's start we'll start out with Cooper town uh so we're here last month uh the board approved going out to bid so the
009project is now officially out to bid uh the bids are due April 8th uh with the uh assumption that they would come within budget and then come back to you all at the board meeting right after spring break April 24th uh with the hope to approve the project to proceed we had a great showing uh to pre-bid this week so we do feel like we have a a good pool of contractors that will be bidding the project uh I know there's been a lot of discussion on concerns about tariffs uh and how that may affect the project so we're not going to know that until we get the bids uh but there is uh real cost increase out there so uh but this is a lumpsum project so there is no coming back to the
010well contractors are going to bid the project they'll hedge their bets on what those cost increases may or may not be uh and that's their bid for the project so um you know we'll see see how that comes in but again I think we have a good group this is right in their kind of wheelhouse of uh size of project so we're hopeful some of the contractors uh on the projects we're working on now will bid that so um any questions about Cooper town all right great so then moving on to Chatum so things are moving along well um you know things are really progressing finally kind of getting under roof getting the building enclosed um the rear addition they're a little behind as I've mentioned at a couple meetings before but overall uh as
011far as affecting the schedule uh the end date we don't see any change in that so uh it was kind of an interim uh Milestone we wanted them to complete so we can move out folks out of the other uh part of the building and get some work done so uh it's not the end of the world but they will be a few weeks late with that but we continue to push uh and they've been working you know 6 days a week as need needed on certain items to try and catch catch up on that time but overall uh thing things are moving along well um you know and you can see the building really take shape they're going to start the brick work glass probably won't be too far behind uh so you really
012start to see the exterior of the building come together um so that being said there are a lot of change orders uh in front of you this evening we've just had a lot of things come up um I'm happy to walk through uh through the mall as much as needed but probably just to point out a few of the ma major items and then certainly open up T specific questions you may have so we had a lot of winter weather protection items that came up you know so that's it's very costly to do that um so the biggest change in front of you is during the bid of chadam we had a number of AD alternates uh because we were not sure where cost were going to come in so there was a lot of
013flooring uh upgrades you know tazzo upgrades Court tile which is a nice rubber tile basically uh you know with the hope we could get rid of VCT uh in the building that the district has to wax you know a few times a year uh so that being said in the alternates there was a Miss in the bid so all the hallways were uh shown on the drawings as existing flooring to remain uh obviously with the the intent the was to upgrade the flooring in the building so it was a significant change to uh switch back to the quartz tile for 101,000 so it's something that would have been paid for at PID time it's just now uh coming to light so luckily we caught it um at the last minute here so it will be
014here uh on time to finish it won't affect the schedule at all um so Tester the general contractor again has a number of these changes in here um so I'm happy do you have any specific questions anybody on any of the change orders I mean these are all standard items as as we talk about we vet the changes uh and the one thing excuse me I failed to mention so we are uh we do still have a balance of $425,000 of contingency on the project uh that along with we do also have allowances built into their contracts so we feel comfortable for where we are right now um one of the other items to mention as well as we did have a water main break which actually uh in working with uh Tony and Jr
015is is going to be an insurance claim so some of that money uh that you see in here for fixing that is hopefully going to be recovered via insurance so but it is a change to the contractor one question to just with regards to the quartz flooring that's a pretty big item with that you said that that was included in the original bid and it wasn't so the base bid was keeping a lot of the existing flooring then there was upgrades to court style so they did an upgrade alternate for the classrooms then they did another upgrade Al alternate for the hallways what happened was uh for the hallway upgrade they only upgraded uh had an alternate for tazzo and they didn't do the quartz tile so it was never priced uh so it's just
016never never in the documents and so quartz do an upgrade over tazzo no quarts courts is kind of in between tazzo is the best longest lasting floor the courtz tile is similar to the rubber tile that's in Lynwood's classrooms but there's no waxing there's very little maintenance okay you mentioned the water line um Le or brick um and can you just confirm that that wasn't due to the construction itself that was a separate reur we uh it was we thought it was and after doing uh a gentleman came out uh and found it it was on the existing you know 60-year-old main underneath the basketball court at the back of the building so it was outside of our out of any work done so we we don't think it was uh we did have some
017work close by uh but the pipe just split and there's very very high pressure uh water over there extremely high uh so that could have lended to it as well or when the water was turned on and off and then you know the water uh kind of punches the pipe for a lack of better term uh that could have done it as well so we're not sure okay and so then this is work that wouldn't really be part of the project but sounds like we were fortunate to have a contractor had a Contractor on site that fixed it right away yeah they we did a shutdown on Saturday so you had to pay premium time it's under asphalt that all has to get repaved so the cost added up quickly and explain to me the
018um the current contingency that we have and this is going to come out of that so I know there's because on there's change orders for um chadam and also the Middle School correct so it's it's the same pot of M it's all same the same pot of money that 1.5 million if contingency was for both projects okay and um before these change orders there was how much left in that uh before before everything presented tonight we're a little over 700,000 uh so now you're down to 420 something, after all of these and everything that we're projected and we know about uh so there are a number of ones that still uh could be costs that will come back to you for but so as soon as we know anything it's immediately put in the log
019and it's projected so there's some holds in there things that may not come to fruition uh so we try and be conservative in the budget um so we're never in in a place that there's not enough you know money left so thank you any other questions great thank you very much have a good night thanks Ken thank you um we want to thank everyone who attended our popup job fair this week um it was great to see people who are interested in becoming substitute teachers uh substitute instructional assistants um and we still you know encourage people within the community if that's something that you're interested in as I've mentioned before even if it's a day a week or something like that please uh contact our HR office and they'll help guide you guide you through

036from the dciu and being part of um of the dciu and what that share sort of represents sure so this is basically the the general operating budget of the IU um what it cost them to run the programs that the districts the par I ating districts benefit from um districts are required to be part of the IU so it's not an optional service where um we we all benefit from the services that they provide um so from this year to the next year it's about a 1.7% increase for haford um and pte does a calculation to develop our share based on the number of students um that we have enrolled and our relative wealth so being the second highest enrollment of the 15 districts we do pay a little bit more than some of the
037the other districts but it's all driven by um those factors and and that those the enrollment numbers are how many students are hord not necessarily how many students are at the dciu so this is allocated by the number of students haford um has in total enrollment as opposed to the next budget which will be students that are enrolled in their specific programs and this will be a roll call vote as well any other question or discussions okay for the roll call Vote Yes Miss Lee Yes Dr McKay yes Mr Schwarz yes Dr Shelton yes Miss Snodgrass yes Miss Vitali yes Miss Weedman yes Dr lson and Dr King yes thank you all right item six e 2025 2026 special education intergovernmental funding and service agreement can I have a motion to approve the 2025 2026
038special education intergovernmental funding and service agreement with the Delware County Intermediate Unit in the amount of $592,500 all in favor I I any opposed the motion passes item 6f wait I'm sorry yes the next one's the roll okay you're confusing me there item 6f Delaware County Vocational Technical Services schools 2025 2026 budget can I have a motion to approve the budget and adopt resolution number 56 for the Delaware County vocational technical schools for the 2025 2026 fiscal year in the amount of $1,766 haveit for a share being $838,000 hear about this because each of these budgets is based on a different metric or calculation on on how the fee is applied to haford um is this one that you could walk us through a little bit sure so for the uh there's two components to
039the special ed program there's sorry to the votech program there's a special ed piece and then a regular Ed piece so for the regular Ed portion of that budget it's based on a three-year average of adms um and then it's divided among the districts based on participation using those adms um for the special ed portion of the um and ADM is like average J membership right enrollment number okay yes so it's kind of like enrollment but it's based on um your average daily membership um and then your special ed portion which is the skill start in the TCA uh is based on actual 45-day average da membership based on all the districts and then it's alloc the cost is allocated out um and then this year um their budget went up 4.5% um from budget
040to budget and the district funding portion went up 3.4% so for all of the 15 participating districts um it was only a 3.4% increase for those services and then is it correct that we pay this share and then it's not like alak cart for services or is there also some element that um is more like a direct fee for service so this is I believe it's alart and then what happens is um come January they will do a reconciliation based on what we paid into the budget so if we said that there were going to be 30 students but only 25 were enrolled in the program um we'll receive money back or if it's in the opposite direction we would pay more based on the utilization of the program okay any additional questions Miss Lee
041Yes Dr m okay yes Mr Schwarz yes Dr Shelton yes Miss Snodgrass yes Miss Vitali yes Miss Weedman yes Dr lson and Dr King yes thank you right motion passes item 6G asset disposal can I have a motion to approve the removal of the attached it assets from the district inventory for sale to electronic recycling vendors read them and moved a second moved and seconded any discussion could we hear a little bit about the this is a long list of equipment um how these items are selected and what the strategy is for replenishing uh technology around the district our director of technology is here this evening good evening um so the assets that are on there is a mixture of some stuff that uh just wasn't ready in the uh recycle that we did last
042school year um and then the newer ones come from we have a ongoing refresh cycle for our equipment that's every about four to five years which is the average um we refresh laptops for teachers and uh other staff computers and then um if there's no other use that we can find for them immediately in the district um we'll work with the recycler that'll offer us um some value for it to either resell to someone else or to use for parts and things so this looks like almost 700 pieces of Technology are part of this program it's it's a good list there's a a good chunk of it is the um Chrome tablets that were used in first and second grade um in like 2020 2021 I think we stopped using those and switched over to
043full Chromebooks for them so that's a large chunk of the assets that are there of those devices and I know the upcoming items on the agenda are for um the actual recycling of things but can you talk about the security or efforts that are undertaken before we these out into the world yep so any piece of equipment uh before it leaves the district we uh wipe the hard drives to make sure any data from haford are already removed from them before they leave um all the vendors we work with also provide a certificate once they receive it where they do another wipe of the data and and uh certify that there's no data left on there so we've wiped it they've wiped it so the data is definitely gone off that laptop before it gets
044uh out of their hands to someone else um and like I said they'll usually um either resell them or part them out to uh a lot of these companies also sell parts for repairs and things like that we purchase some of those for some of our own repairs as well um so they'll make sure that there's some kind of um responsible disposal of those equipment that they don't just end up in a landfill somewhere any other questions thank you all in favor I I any oppos the motion passes item 6 h equipment recycling agreement can I have a motion for the approval of agreement for the it equipment recycling of Apple Hardware with second life Mac shelter moved second moved and seconded any discussion all in favor I I any oppos the motion passes item

047can't or maybe they can't and utilize the bandwidth it's the cat 6 no I I think we're at a pretty good place most of our devices are wireless and our access points can certainly handle the 6A um capabilities and then our desktops that we have um they'll be fine with it as well um again the category 5e cabling that we have now has served us well for 25 years um so our hope would be that absent of some huge uh technology uh increase that this should serve us for another 25 years any other questions thank you all in favor I I any oppose the motion passes item 6L tax assessment appeals resolutions can I have a motion to approve the settlement and stipulation of councel and tax assessment appeals pending in the court of common

055I'm happy to hear I know we have a a member of the wellness committee up here um to to discuss that if um that that would be great but basically the wellness committee does their trian trianal assessment of policy and we're um uh we're doing the assessment and the policy alignment at the same time so they while they were doing their assessment they figured they would look at our policy as well um took a look and made some um some changes some suggested changes to that and then at the policy committee itself we discussed um several different pieces of the wellness committee or or uh the wellness policy um specifically regarding um uh withholding physical activity as a punishment and making sure that that is um a specific policy in our district that we do
056not withhold physical activity as punishment including taking away recess so that was something that we were looking um to to make especially clear um and I guess I would like to hear from the policy committee and anyone um on the board if if that has been sufficiently made clear with the changes that we see here which is on page four any discussion of the changes I I think from what I remember that change does seem to address concerns um at least when I what I remember from the policy yeah and and what our goal was is that we wanted to make it especially clear that unless there is a a risk of um a potential safety risk that withholding physical activity as punishment um is not allowed in our district and specifically this policy I
057think does a good job of making That explicit I think one of the other things that we talked about during that meeting is ensuring that this this policy is communicated to our principles and administrators and ensuring that the resources are provided to them um the way we're having a consistent implementation of the process across all schools and so um however that's done ideally that would be really important to ensure that the policy is upheld just a question um the wording is you know we do not withhold physical activity um as a punch is that physical activity like it it describes it as recess but um if say there is a high school student who uh is not uh has a behavior issue or an academic ineligibility issue like then we can withhold their participation in
058an after school sport is there any reason to make a distinction about that just a question above there is a definition of what physical AC ity includes so it makes it clear it's not just recess the the taken away recess was just an example provided in that statement so up above it right underneath physical activity they give more information on what physical activity includes right and so I'm saying though that is it is possible that a student wouldn't be able to participate in a sport or a activity as discipline is that yes okay wait I'm unclear I had Bridget's question too so wait so it is it is possible that like there are consequences you cannot participate in um in your sport activity if you are out for the day if you are like there
059are certain criteria that must be met in order for the student to to participate but that wouldn't be like a I've heard that rule that if you don't come to school I remember this is an issue with the Eagles pry CU there was a track like you know you had to go to school if you wanted to be in the track and I get that but that's not like breaking I mean you weren't in school you can't play in the game that makes sense to me but if there was uh negative behavior you couldn't say okay well you can't play in your soccer I was unclear on on I had Miss White's question as well so I understand being in school but this reads as a punishment I obviously if you don't go to school
060you shouldn't be able to go to a school activity that would make sense I think to anybody but if there was some sort of behavior infraction a serious Behavior infraction then you could still participate in an athletic event is that correct you couldn't take that away it would depend on what the serious infraction is and certainly if it's safety related then it would be taken away but I hear that the issue is that the the sentence that describes this does not not clarify that CU that right now the sentence is only saying the only time that it's taken away is if there is a safety risk so it can't be taken away as a consequence to other Behavior it it's also this policy also pertains to during the school day M which is I think
061maybe why recess was one of the the focal points um participation on a team is a choice um for for participating on on that team but then above it includes after school activities so there just needs to be some consistency so it just says in addition to planned physical education The District offers activities such as indoor outdoor recess after school activities clubs and Athletics so if this is only going to be to in school hours then we need to change that language or if it's going to be to all of that then we need to clarify that last sentence last piece M right to committee now when I doing that what can't make all these changes here I think that's a little far I guess the question of the board is is is and and
062for the district I mean I don't have in my mind what the the behavioral issues are that would necessitate someone being excluded from um after school activi activities Athletics I'm sure there are many examples um reasonable examples and so does it makes sense to revise that last sentence to say um in school or we do not withhold in in school physical activity as as a punishment unless there's a safety risk I'm imagining in a situation where I don't know even if the high school does like after school detention and somebody's saying oh you can't keep me for after school detention because I play a sport and that's a physical activity yeah so I think I think the goal here was that um physical activity is necessary for our students during the school day and that's
063why that's why our our younger students have recess um and similar you know breaks and and things like that um and so I think that was the intent by this sentence so if the board agrees with that then we can revise that sentence and it can come for a second reading with that revision to revise that sentence yeah right okay why don't we take a stab at that and see if we can bring it forward or that sounds can you clarify which second which sentence is going to be revised I would the last one so we do I would think something like we do not withhold in school or uh during physical activities during school hours as a punishment unless there's a potential safety risk I mean I would personally like that I I have
064the same concerns as Miss Wiman I will I I would be remiss and I would kick myself when I get home if I just said I and I will be the only one up here but I'll just say it no need to discuss it cuz I know no one will agree with me I guess when my older boys went to Lynnwood if you didn't do when there was homework like you know you didn't go out for recess and I know at my son's school now I mean you have to do it three times in a month and then you miss your recess I kind of I'm old school I believe consequences in actions and you learn something not something Lightly for small minor I'm not talking not walking straight in line or something silly but
065not a fan of it it's but at the very least I think the I would like the sentence change um addressing Miss whan's concerns we'll modify that last sentence there in breef yeah that sounds good and um for anyone who's new to policy the way that our Pol our board policy works we discuss it at committee we suggest it for uh to come before the full board tonight all of these policies are for a first reading I I believe they're all for a first reading um and then we go through a second reading where we do the same thing we're doing today we review the policy maybe make some changes and then at our final third reading uh the vot the policy is up for adoption by the board so we are going to look
066at all of these policies again a couple times I just ask a question um I thought the the purpose the authority of this policy was well drafted um and then it gets into guidelines which in our in some of our other policies falls into the administrative regulations was there some thought as to why this polic itself is more robust in those that that detail isn't in an AR I think this was this was how it was written before it was based on a psba Model um and I think a lot of this too if you look through even with the guidelines a lot of this comes from law and from code and so one thing that we don't do our while our administrative regulations often tell the district how to implement what policy is it's
067not usually based on code so when we have a lot of these and and a lot of this policy just comes directly making that change do we need to do anything with the definition or how we're defining physical activity should we making changes in both places or we're just going to explicitly say that what this I think if we're explicit okay yeah because I think physical activity is is meant to be more than just what's happening in school okay and so um I I think that would set us back in that sentence if we if we Define physical activity um okay and then this way it leads US Open to Define it some ways being more expansive and some ways being less expansive okay all right are we okay any other question questions or comments
068so this will be the changes will be made and they'll come back for a second reading all right all I'm sorry okay yep okay uh all in favor I any opposed the motion passes item 10B which is policy 317 disciplinary procedures I have a motion to accept the first reading of policy 317 dis plary procedures and corresponding ARS moved read them in second moved and second it discussion um yes so uh what's being proposed now as policy 317 is a technically new policy consolidating three policies so they were formerly separate policies for 317 417 and 517 and each one uh was slightly different and applied to different employee groups and so what the policy committee's um objective is with a lot of our policies is to make them um easier to access and easier to
069understand so part of that has to do with um consolidating policies when they basically saying the same thing and ensuring that our policies that are intending to say the same thing are just all in one place so that there's no confusion so we're moving away from having separate policies for separate employee groups when possible um this one also has two ARS the first AR is um has added language for procedures and administering discipline and the second AR um Incorporated what used to be 47.1 for educator misconduct um and includes a a reference to the educator discipline act um so 317 ar1 is a memorialization of the steps that the district is currently taking um and and has when this type of cont conduct occurs and um we made a few changes at the policy committee
070uh on on that AR which have now been implemented into the policy um there they appears to be on page one I if it's a missing word or just a Mis capitalization under delegation and responsibility M and page one of the um page one of the the policy policy okay I'm not sure what what that is it may just be a capital D but then it wouldn't be a u it would be part would be a really good sentence so I think it looks like must missing a word there's a word or two but it does have the uh note there for the citations so we want to handle that carefully but yet that seems to be floating there somehow sure the right word put in there okay I think on the ar1 I think
071there was discussion about um when in in cases where immediate action must be taken you could bypass the progressive discipline and uh that that was clarified in the committee mhm so um is that in the AR then ar1 ar1 is at the end so I think it might be so severely disrupted okay and I think we were able to um at the policy committee condense some of the policy as well that seem to be repetitive and at times contradictory so we were able to have a a a shorter more succinct policy on this and then followed by the ARs which are how the actual policy gets implemented and for those who don't know that much um about administrative regulations those are are basically the how to implement the policy and they don't need to go
072through this rigorous process of um review and readings by the board so the administration if the process changes um either because of a new law or new best practice then the administration will inform the board of the change to the AR and the board will report that out I'm not sure if this is intentional but on page three of the policy do we at least on my end I see towards the end a huge chunk of space I think the formatting goes into a PDF okay yeah it's always the weird formatting with with board docs that we were usually able to um fix once the policy goes live I keep rereading I'm still on page three the paragraph that starts off other forms of discipline I don't know for some reason this reads choppy or
073awkward to me not sure if there's another way for us to either make these two separate sentences or forms I think I think that's a extra semicolon after superintendent or design that's chopping it up yeah I think in the reading of of this even earlier on there are places where there's seemingly extra or Superfluous comments that just interrupt the reading and I think that's a case of um I don't know if it's from the editing and formatting and trying to pick up like I said a lot was removed and moved around so I think that that's some of the um editing formatting is has gotten um a little bit messed up here but yeah I think we'll just do another read through and make sure that those little things are addressed for the next reading
074who's our grammar committee yeah grammar committee any other questions or discussions so is this going to be coming back to us for a second reading make those changes we're good to keep going all right I don't think any of them were overly substantive that they okay you can't make them for the second reading all right all in faor favor I any opposed the motion passes let's continue item 10 C policy 619 District audit public can I have a motion to accept the first reading of the of the policy 619 District audit not agress moved and second moved and seconded any discussion um this one did not have much discussion at the um the policy committee it's a um just something that that needs to happen that the auditor shall present the report to the board
075that that's one thing that we discussed for this one but otherwise I think the changes were just made um some some minor changes made between the the current policy in this one is there a number five or is that to be struck in its entirety I think that just needs to be yeah struck in it are we I'm sorry I was going to say this is a pretty straightforward one it's just necessary for um to have this policy I know that sometimes we capitalize the D and district and other times we don't so I see it both ways here under guidelines number one it should be when we are saying the district it should be capitalized yeah that's generally how we refer to okay yeah any other questions or comments this will keep going for
076a second read all in favor I any oppose the motion passes we will continue to item 10d which is policy 620 fund balance I have a motion to accept the first reading of policy 620 fund balance moved second moved in second any discussion this is a proposed new policy for the board so it is a best practice to have a policy around our fund balance and I know Tony worked on this one with the um the solicitor so this represents um current practice and best practice for the fund balance again you know making sure that our policies are transparent that the the community understands what we're working with and and what um that we're making decisions based on a reasonable thought um and so this goes into that understanding what goes into to our fund
077balance um very few edits made by the the committee uh just some some syntax really this policy gives um some action to action authority to the finance committee um to assign fund balance is that an activity that um our committees are currently charged to do or contemplated to do so in the case where um you had a surplus of revenues over expenditures in a given year um that's where the finance committee and the board would make those decisions on to move money into a committed fund balance or an assigned fund balance for specific purposes um to utilize those funds and so this gives that Authority um in those cases I guess my question was more about whether like the committee is taking that action separate from the rest of the board but yeah it would
078the commit would make the recommendation to bring that forward it would require um an action on the part of the board so I think yeah this language might come from districts where the Committees have more acting Authority so we may want to change this to reflect uh the practice of our committees so I've read it differently from you I think you are you looking at the LA the last full I guess the the last paragraph before the last sentence here that doesn't read to me like that that's charging the finance committee am I missing something now so it looks like that's an agenda item and maybe need if it needs to be more clear then we can make it more clear but that as part of the budget process the business manager or doesn't need
079shall include on the agenda of the finance committee meeting to review the district's fund commitments and Reserve um to determine whether they should be maintained and then it says recommendations to modify the level or plan use of the general fund and Reserve shall then be presented to the full board for consideration so that seems to align with our current practice which is to work have basically a workshop at the committee right and and you know say this is the district recommendation what does the board think what are their questions what is the rest of the board going to think um and then have that come to the full board for another discussion and um final vote yeah I think I was referring to just what is um in number four shall be assigned by the
080board or finance committee oh okay the parenthetical here mhm yeah we could take that out that makes it confusing cuz I was not really focused on that piece okay that makes sense to remove that okay so if those um changes we'll be able to continue for second reading all right all in favor any opposed the motion passes we'll continue with item 10e policy 804 school days kind motion to accept the first reading of policy 804 school days and the corresponding AR address moved second moved and seconded any discussion yes so this one um was brought to the board um because it right now we have it or we are proposing to split it up between the actual policy which says that the the board can set the the school day timing um as long as
081well as you know the superintendent can determine that some days need to the schools need to close or or dismiss early etc for um emergency reasons uh whether that type of thing but our our existing policy right now um has the actual times of the school session within the policy itself it was from 2010 I learned it was wrong as written um so it was wrong today and the policy did not reflect the policy does not currently reflect the current the accurate times of when our school day starts I've been told other people don't go to board docs for all of their information but for those that do we do want to make sure that it is correct and um so we're suggesting moving the actual times that the schools are in session to the
082AR and then that way if there are changes fluctuations um those are easy to to make and um the policy just basically says that it's the um the authority of the board to establish the times of the schools any questions just a minor comment for consistency with the language updates um the purpose says instruction of pupils and I think we've changed that to students in many places and then per the previous comment this looks like a case where District should be a capitalized reference to our our district if we I'm just looking at Authority so if we move the times to the AR oh I guess the the first sentence says we the board shall establish the times mhm is it that is that okay is what okay is it okay to have the times
083in the AR and yeah where the ad okay cuz the administration could we would still approve any change um we don't approve changes to the AR but we are notified of them and it's still it even if we put something in the AR it's still the board's prerogative to um establish the times for the school day so if the board were going to go through yearslong process to see if there were the school start times that were going to change or something like that um putting the the times in the AR doesn't prevent the board from establishing that okay got it thanks any other discussion or question all right so this will continue for second reading all in favor I I any oppose the motion passes item 10f is policy 816 social media can I
084have a motion to accept the first reading of policy 8816 social media and the corresponding AR Congress moved m a second moved in second it discussion yeah this was actually a really fun discussion at the policy committee and I'm happy to have it here again but um we discussed a lot about the uh the public forum that social media Pres presents so um this is an existing policy um and it was discussed at the December committee meeting um and then sent back to the committee for further revisions and what we discussed at the February committee was really um you can see in the definition section that we Define the district's social media as a limited public forum and uh there are a lot of different reasons to do that um but basically there are First
085Amendment constraints when the government is involved of which we are the government so um we discussed at length what kind of forum was necessary and desirable for district owned social media um and we came out that it should be a limited public forum for similar to what we have um in our general board meetings and our committee board meetings where the public is welcome to have input into our meetings and make public comment we felt that the that is a limited public forum and we felt that our social media should be the same way and that there is a need and a desire at times to limit the um the commenting or otherwise on social media and to to District specific social media accounts so that was a lot of the discussion which um I
086found to be really interesting and um thought it was really robust and and the committee was really deliberative about that um so you'll see that that that change is there I think there's discussion about allowing you know the ability to comment so the limited public form allows that whereas another option would be not to allow commenting at all in District so I think this is a good um a good solution yeah it's a good middle ground because you can see that it you know there are times in Social like if we didn't have a social media at all um I think that would be a disservice to the school and the to the community um but then to have an open public forum could create issues um around safety and harassment bullying that type of
087thing and so um and and just generally um you know having to go through and and look at those types of comments so um this this is um something that the district is allowed to do like I said we do it at our board meetings it's allowable under the Constitution and so we thought this was appropriate to just continue that limited public forum on our district owned uh social media this doesn't affect you know clubs or things like that that have their own social media they're separate from District owned so social media so um this is really just like for the districts uh you know Instagram Facebook page uh YouTube that type of thing this sress um I might be confusing policy discusss but did we also talk about training for um administrators employees that
088would be overseeing the social media pages to ensure that they're able to you know keep up with those changes I think that's just important to mention as well yeah um in terms of how we would implement this policy right ensuring that um you know our teachers administrators have the appropriate training and then also I know we talked about District owned social media but just to clarify if there is a school club that uses um The District's logo where does that land that's not District owned social media but I think that it would still um is that that might be I don't think that means that it's not subject to our policies for like harassment and things like that because it could um affect the students and so the case law is really interesting and fun
089on those types of things and what can be done um you know by a district for for um actions that happen outside of school so it would be probably a caseby casee basis but this isn't I don't think this policy specifically is targeted as that okay something else so I'm just and maybe it's not going to be at this policy but I if not here then then at some point if we could explore where those parameters would would lie and even if it's yes try do it all the time well I'm even just thinking about like the policies for clubs in general and so like if you choose to have a social media account and if you choose to use our logo then these are the things that we have that we expect for you
090too and so if it's not going to be in that policy if we could just put it in our policy thinking caps I think we I think we have other policies that touch on that um and and I one of the of the um aspects we discussed at the policy committee was having all these references to other policies and so um I don't actually have like a redex of the policies in my mind I'm working on it um but so I know that we we reference a lot here and so I do think that you know having a club at haford and being part of a club at haford is a privilege um and you know to any extent that our that social media was violating our policy even though it's not District owned you
091know I think some of our other policies speak to speak to that and and what we can do um within the school and like I like there have been a really really interesting case law developments on what a district can do and can regulate um when the conduct happens only off campus so I think that our policies do a really good job of of doing the best that we can um with regulating that but also respecting the First Amendment so um I think I'll take a look at the other policies that we have listed here to see what you know what is potentially grasping that but my understanding is that is that those types of concerns are found um are addressed in other policies okay and I'm just I am most focused on ensuring the
092safety and protection of our students yeah not necessarily overseeing but I I want to know that we are protecting students if something was to happen yeah how how can we support and avoid something getting worse and that is honestly where the law is more um accommodating to districts when it is a safety issue okay all right um I may Mis may have misunderstood the pre your previous comment Dr King um were you asking what where the training requirement is because that is in the policy on the second page it is okay it's under a delegation of resp responsibility there is the whole section around training that it will be provided annually thank you sure the AR does make the of student clubs and and activities yeah you can see that it has um different standards
093right right there's um we can do we can say we can control a lot more about our own District accounts that we can about okay s good all right I think that's just helpful also for the community to know that we were covered in that respect so thank you all right so this will come back for second reading all in favor I any opposed the motion passes we have nothing listed under Section 11 other items section 12 is public Comet um I do have one person that has signed up for a public comment Maya Lewis hi hi you can come right up to the podium and you can just state your name and confirm your residency in the district a timer is going to start and when it's um when the timer goes off it'll
094be the end of your 3 minutes okay good evening everyone my name is Maya Lewis I'm currently a junior at haford high school and my residency is 61 Meadows Lane almost forgot just say you live here I've struggled with mental health since I was in Middle School my emotional well-being became a large factor in my academic life and I was unable to get the high school experience that I had wanted for myself luckily I had qualified for an IEP which assists me in my emotional and academic needs one of the many advantages of having an IEP is that I'm able to access the emotional support room at any time throughout the day having access to this room is one of the top reasons that I've been able to achieve my emotional and academic goals knowing
095I could stop into the emotional support room at anytime throughout the day to calm down take a break talk with a counselor regulate my emotions or whatever I may need tremendously helps my school anxiety and attendance which largely contribute to my current successes unfortunately a very small number of students have access to the emotional support room because you must have an IEP to do so emotional support in a school environment is not something you should have to qualify for as it is something that every student needs and benefits from wanting to give this right to every student at HHS a few months ago I applied for a grant through the Ed Foundation I was hoping to be granted money to fund a similar style room that is available for all students but only enough money
096to furnish the room would be given not enough to fund a full-time salary of an emotional support counselor the grant committee is on board as well as Mr dunie the rest of our Administration and Mr David Parker unfortunately the money couldn't be officially granted because some questions began to rise one of them being why should we have an emotional support counseling office when we already have school counselors and how are they different well the school counselors we currently have are on a very tight schedule they're very busy with scheduling and helping students plan for college if a student were to be in a Time Time Of Crisis it is unlikely they would be able to stop into their counselor's office as they have to schedule an appointment usually days in advance while our current counselors
097tremendously help with academic needs we're lacking and emotional support focused Department students without an IEP do not have a safe space to go to in a time of need another question being how would we pay for a full-time emotional support counselor the money that would be granted from the Ed Foundation would only cover the room Furnishings so I'm here speaking today to ask for a salary for an emotional support counselor to be added to our school district's budget for next year and years moving forward I've spoken with the student representatives of the Ed Foundation all of which agree that this is a right for all students to have access to without needing to qualify for an IEP given haford students administrators and members of the ad Foundation all agree that this would be beneficial for
098our students emotional and academic well-being I ask for your consideration to expand our budget for the salary of an emotional support counselor so haford students can have a successful High School experience thank you I don't have anyone else that has signed up does anyone wish to speak item 13 which is report on Executive session the board met before tonight's meeting an executive session to discuss a Personnel related matter um to discuss with Council and employee related litigation that is pending in the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas and to discuss with Council two matters of agency business that if discussed in public would violate a lawful privilege or lead to the disclosure of the information protected by law item 14a the next regular public board meeting is scheduled to be held on April 3rd 2025
