So, just a thank you again for the band and their performance and uh the new uniforms look great. So, good job there. Um and then uh Mr. Heiser. Um good evening. Uh I'm joined this evening by two of my students, Allison Miller and Jenna Walter. Uh just wanted to speak uh a few minutes about the Ike and the men of D-Day program that is graciously provided for by the Caner funds. Um our school has participated in this program for 5 years. We missed
005a few uh due to code, but this is a national park service program uh where our students uh research uh a dozen uh men who were killed on D-Day who were buried in the National Cemetery. Uh so the timing of of sharing this is probably appropriate uh as Memorial Day is coming up uh within the week uh and DDay day of course uh within just a few. Uh but I'd like to let the students talk just a bit about this program and what they did uh and then I'll ask you answer any questions. During the field trip to the Eisenhower House in World War II cemetery, my experience was very eye opening. To learn about war and to hear about it today is one thing, but to take a glimpse into the lives of people
006who experienced it firsthand is very different. I, as well as many other of my classmates, take living close to such a historical town for granted. Not only did the Battle of Gettysburg happen here, but one of the most monumental presidents and supreme commanders from a completely different war lived here, too. To see Ike Eisenhower's house and to talk about the soldiers who died serving in World War II gave me a great sense of honor to live here. My classmates and I got to see what a Supreme Commander and president lived like. His house is still full of history and gifts from the other country's leaders. We also got to learn about soldiers from Pennsylvania who served and died in World War II. To do this provoked feelings of not only sadness but honor to be
007able to memorialize those who died for our country, some of which do not have family of their own to do it. With that being said, taking that field trip to the Eisenhower House and the World War II cemetery truly was an experience that I will take with me. It taught me not only to it taught me not only a partial history of Gettysburg, but it opened my eyes and showed me not to take things for granted. I know that it taught my classmates this as well. So, next time I go to complain about tourists and their awful driving, a piece of my heart will go out to them for what they're about to experience. Thank you. The field trip that we took to the Eisenhower farm impacted me and my classmates by um what we
008experienced by how they lived back then and the soldiers that had died here in our hometown that were buried. This impacted me and my classmates by everything that they dedicated their lives for us and the past of the people in our community. Um, I think it impacted me and my classmates a lot because we didn't only see how they live, but we learned about like their lifestyle and um the war that they fought in for us. This is a program that uh we're really fortunate to have available. Uh the National Park Service uh provides this to us free charge. Dan Dan Vermilia who's an educational technician there uh at the park took the time to put this together. Uh we evaluate and the students examine um about five to eight documents per soldier. Each of
009them is assigned a soldier uh who was buried there. Uh and if you're interested in that uh content uh on D-Day uh Friday the 6th of June, uh Dan will be giving a similar related program at 5:30 uh in the National Cemetery. Uh but we were fortunate to pilot this uh when it first came out. Uh we missed a few years with co uh but we're fortunate to you know have been able to do this and and the Caner funds provide uh for the transportation to get our students there uh and make this all function. Uh so when I think about you know the intent of that program the intent of the funds and how we utilize them uh it's a very dense program uh the students go for a half day um and we
010have to rotate it through because the park service can accommodate about 30 at a time uh so I think that it's really money well spent and thank you thank you both very well done. Uh we have no uh public comment tonight, no correspondence. So moving on to reports. Uh LIU report. Dr. Bell. LIU met. They reviewed uh school calendars for the variety of places that they serve. Uh added some job descriptions. Uh PSBA delegation. Um several personnel actions uh which were smaller than than normal. And the next meeting is on uh June 3rd. That concludes my report. All right. Thank you, Dr. Bell. Any questions on the report? All right. Uh moving on to federal programs. Mr. Al, good evening everyone. Um my first item is just my annual notice of uh endings and beginnings.
011So we are ending the current grant cycle for federal programs. So, I'll be wrapping uh things up, working with Mrs. Hobbs on kind of zeroing out that grant and also rewriting or not rewriting but writing the new grant coming up for that student July 1st for next school year. So, that'll include titles 1, two, three, and four again. Uh and we do not have the allocation estimates at this time. We're still waiting for them uh from the federal government. So the second item is I last week I had the uh pleasure of being at the 2025 Pennsylvania Association of Federal Programs Coordinators Conference and yes it's as exciting as you would imagine. Uh definitely put it on your bucket list. It's it's an amazing experience. Uh one of the highlights of that though for me
012is the when they bring in the lawyers for the state. So the state actually has lawyers based out of DC from a a firm called Brewstein and Manassevich or otherwise known as the Brewman Group. And what I like about this session is they take federal policy which can be very obtuse and bring it down to a level that we can understand a little bit better. And of course the hot topic uh this time at the conference was the closing of the federal department of education. So they there were a lot of questions, a lot of anxiety from the people in the room. What's going to happen? What's it going to look like? So I wanted to share what they share with us in in a much more condensed version. So there are what is true
013there are two uh at least two uh acts that are or bills that have been presented. one in the house which is house bill uh 369 and that's the state's education reclamation reclamation act and senate bill 1402 which is returning education to our states act both are designed to do the same thing is to eliminate the federal department of education and reallocate services uh throughout that so that got everyone you know nervous lots of questions were being answered and asked and answered and this This is her advice. The the attorney that was presenting and I thought this was very good. She said she gave us four points. First, she said, "Take a breath. Breathe in. Breathe out. We all did it in this large room." She said, "It's going to be okay." She says, "A
014lot of noise. It's okay." She said, "Everyone take a breath." Second piece of advice, she said, "News reports are not official actions. They can sound like it. They can look like it. They're not official actions. Nothing's official until they vote. And that went into her point number three. Any changes are going to require a change in statute which require it going to the House, the Senate, the President signs off on it because in federal department of education is in statute. They just can't wipe it away. So she said it's going to take time. It's going Now, she said it could happen. Not saying it can't happen, but it's not just a stroke of a pen and it's gone. um they're working towards that, but she said it would it's going to require a change in
015statute. And the last piece of advice she said if it happens, federal pro federal department of education eliminated, she said the services aren't going anywhere. And specifically for us being federal programs, she was referencing title 1 2 3 and four. The title program she said are going to be shifted in both proposals as it as outlined right now to health and human services. IPA will be health and human services. Department of justice would be like 504, title nine. So she said she said all the important funding areas are going to be split out to other agencies if it would come to pass and then those would be transferred to with by block grants to states to implement the programs. So she said it would look different, sound different, feel different, but she said in essence
016the services will still be met uh even if there is no federal department of of education. She said they would simply not just wipe that away. So take a breath, news report, take a break from news reports. They're not reality. Um not official actions. uh it's going to require a change in statute and in the end other agencies are going to support federal programs that's out there and and other um um important tasks that the federal department of education takes takes upon. So that was a a relief. It kind of calmed everyone down in room. Everyone was okay. We can make we can do this. We can make it through. Uh because a lot of folks were hearing as of July 1st there's no department of education anymore. Not the case. It's going to take
017a while and we'll see where the dust settles. And I have in my report what they said we don't have any allocations because it's still a little bit of a mess down there with uh they paused things. They they then they went ahead again and they paused it again. So they're a little behind schedule. So we're hoping by early June we'll actually have numbers. But they did say preliminary and I have it uh here. Title two and title four statewide statewide are going to be decreased it looks like this year and title two is always on that cutting block. So this year coming up and probably in future years there's always that push to eliminate completely eliminate title two and move those funds into title one or or in another program. So we'll keep our
018eye on that. But statewide, those two programs two and four look like they're going to be decreased. But title one and title three look like they're going to be increased statewide. What does that look like for us? That does not mean we're guaranteed an increase or a decrease in any of those. That's just what the state gets and then they apply their formulas to us and then we'll go from there. Soon as I have some numbers, I'll share those with uh Mrs. Hobs. Hopefully by the committee meetings uh in June I'll have some preliminary numbers we can go off of because we need to to write this grant. Any questions? That's really helpful. Thank you Mr. Al Perry. Uh Miss Cruss. Oh thank you. Um there is a link uh at my report which would
019be the March April newsletter for Cumberland Perry. So if you want to find out what's happening out there, just read the newsletter. A couple other things, Mrs. Graham is not here tonight. She is representing the district at Cumberland Perry tonight. This is their awards night and all the students will be getting their awards. I know there are some cash prizes as well as I know some students have received tool kits that it's a very nice ceremony. So hopefully our kids will come home with lots of loot. Um, the other thing I just wanted to bring up, um, Cumberland Perry has offered a summer camp the last few years and, um, it's for rising seventh, 8th, and 9th graders because at Cumberland Perry, uh, it's 10th, 11th, 12th graders for the most part who are enrolled.
020A few school districts have a couple ninth graders, but it's not the norm. Um, the we we have spaces available. We have a donor who has provided transportation to Cumberland Perry for the camp. So, um it's all parents need to do is get their child here and we'll have a van to to take students to Cumberland Perry. Um the dates for the camp June 9 and 10 is one camp and there are 10 of the 22 programs featured that students could sign up for. The other camp is the following week, Monday, Tuesday, June 16 and 17. 13 of the 22 programs will be represented. Um I don't have the information in front of me right now. I think Mr. Mr. Brewer. It's like morning sessions, correct? And then they would be returned. But if students
021are interested, um, please contact Mr. Brewer soon so that we can make sure the arrangements for transportation are made. And actually, I think Mr. Walmer, you have connections with someone who at least attended one year, right? Yeah. Yeah. It's a good program. It's uh it's good. It's a primer if they're interested in that. if they find interest during the summer camp. A lot of times it leads on to other things later on as they reach 10th, 11th, and 12th. So, it's a good program. It's neat. And ideally, I don't think there's anything that says a child can sign up for the first camp and sign up the next week for a different exploratory course. So, that's it. Thank you. I just wanted to add uh has renovation begun up there? has has have plans been
022finalized. I noticed out of the um in the list of bills out of the general fund, looks like we made the first of maybe three payments to them. We we have two two payments. One was made last July and the other one was put on hold because every be everything was held up. Um the bids have been accepted and the bids fell within the budget. Oh, good. And that's the point that I know right now. So they went back to the drawing boards and rejiggered it. Now they're good to go. They they did and there the one a lot of the facilities in the back were supposed to be two different buildings and one of the ways to cut the budget was to make it one large one large building. So they they did go
023back and sharpen their pencils. That's exciting. It's a great program they got going up there. Yeah, they they did not break any ground or do anything at this point. My understanding is they're still waiting and trying to finalize some permitting. That's the last I heard too last month. Cool. Thank you. And I'll just comment on the financial piece. So, what you saw on the bills for this evening is our last installment for the renovations plus our our last tuition payments as well combined into one for the three. Okay. Once the permit is uh received and construction begins, what would be an approximate time frame for the completion of the of the construction? I think I heard 2627. That's correct. Yeah. To to be in place for the 26 27 school year is what I think
024I heard. Good. Is there is there a selection process for the camp or is it just open to anyone in those grades? rising seventh, eighth, and ninth graders. Okay. And right now, how many seats are there on a van? I think we have 15 15 seats on a van. We have 14 seats right now. Okay. We were really trying to get some interest for people to try the camps. I I'm remembering that, you know, as I'm thinking more about when my son went to that summer camp, I think they they had a a tire changing session, and so he learned how to change tires. And I can tell you, I've benefited directly from that a few times. We don't have the equipment, but there's ways of doing it. Does that information get sent out to
025parents that it's available? I I think How did you send that out? So, we send out voice through our weekly or monthly newsletter. Uh, we've had two sessions at lunchtime and we have it displayed on our television cafeteria. So, it's available for kids. So, we brought it to the masses and I've asked them to so far said typically we've had I think between four and five years. Okay. Hopefully more interest. Okay. Thank you. Would the camp be available uh for homeschooled children who live within the boundaries of Upper Adam School District? I believe it's open to anyone. Any advising seven through nine students? That would be my belief. I can't say for sure, but I would say yes. I'm sure. Thank you. Yeah, we'll probably just need to investigate that just to confirm. [Music] Any
026other comments, questions? Sounds like a great program. We need to take advantage of it. Hopefully, we get more than one. All right, moving on. Fun advisory board report. Miss Hollow. Um, if you were present at our committee meetings two weeks ago, you would have heard a presentation by Mr. Tom Wilson and Amanda Markle regarding uh Caner funds uh seeking a 501c3 status. Um Mr. Wilson has already begun meeting with people and is working on um getting a board of interested folks in keeping that very worthwhile process um moving forward. Um, regarding uh distribution of um grants, Amanda uh Marle reports there are 39 applicants this year. She said that's up I believe she said five from last year, but she did say it grows every year. Um she hopes to get her committee meeting here
027within the next week uh to bring that information forward. So clearly the need is out there that the people writing the grants, it just keeps rising. So, good time to do a 501c3 and get more funds in there. That's everything. Thank you. Any questions on the can funds? All right, moving on to administrative reports. Uh, any questions for the administration? May I say a few things? Go ahead, Mr. Waggle. Um uh reading the reports, a couple things. Um Mrs. Buckley, uh both environmental camp um was amazing. And for anyone who didn't hear it or see it, it was her birthday and all the students sang happy birthday to her. It was they were so excited about that. They knew about it in advance were very excited to sing to Mrs. Buckley. Um it was a
028great program. I'm always um I'm always so um grateful that I can help serve the meal with a Brad's Lions Club and it's just so good to see the interaction between the counselors who are 11th and 12th graders and the students and the faculty. It's just a really really good program. I know it's a lot of work but I appreciate it very much. Also color day. I attended color day for a grandchild. What a what an amazing event and I can't imagine um trying to manage all that but job well done. It was a really fun day. So, thank you for that. Um Mr. Brewer Fuller Lake was awesome. Um uh Brooke Gates had reached out and um I took her up on her offer and attended that with the seventh graders and uh my
029takeaway from that was what an amazing program. very grateful that our students have that opportunity. And even for those of us who have lived live lived here all of our lives and are really tuned into the environment, I learned a lot. It was it was a great program. I also learned that it takes a special person to teach a seventh grader. Okay. Um that Oh, uh Dr. Ber, I want to hear about jog and jabber. Yes, we started Yeah, we started it last year. Um early morning during the summer out here at the track and started the construction. So I participated on the website last summer. We'll do it again. Just an informal way to get connect with community members, families, and students that come out if they want to walk or walk and talk.
030If they want to jog and join Okay. All right. Thank you. That's everything. Are those mornings announced or on the website? I put them on the website last year and I'll do it again. Okay, that's it. Thank you. Any other comments or questions? I was just going to say uh honor Mrs. Graham's report uh congrats to uh Evangelene Halabal and Percy Karan on Lenfest scholarships. And um and I also saw there that the finalist to receive a $2,000 one-time award and that went to Hina Manzo uh Tover and Jesus Sanchez Martinez. So congratulations to them. I don't really have anything else. Uh Mr. Kursider community day. It's all a lot of good stuff happening in all the buildings. In all the buildings. Yeah. Every thing we have a good time. That's right. Thank you all.
031And I'll just say, Miss Buckley, I'm not sure how you're still standing and moving after a whole school year. And then looking at the report, you had a lot going on in May. So, um, great job to you and your and your staff for all the work that they did on on camp and cutting. I will say two of my favorite, uh, parts of being at the school growing up. So, yeah, it's good to see it still happening. Any other comments or questions? Was neat to see Mr. Kennedy at color day. I didn't get to make it, but I saw the newspaper clippings. That was cool. That was really neat. The 60th year, right? Yeah. Yeah. Unbelievable. Yeah. If you go to the Elhorn, you get the Kennedy pancake. I'm an egg guy. All right.
032Uh, superintendent report. Dr. Bell. Just very briefly, I've told you um multiple times how impressed I am with the staff and the students here. It's just an excellent group of people. But there's also an excellent uh group of partnerships that the district has with Airmark Chartwells, GDC, transportation departments, Jacobe Weavers, Rolling Hill, Kelly, uh and the list goes on and on. And those are an excellent group of people coming together with the staff uh here all with one common focus and that's the kids providing a clean, resourceful place. uh excellent safety and security uh as well as transportation in general and all of that comes around an excellent educational opportunity that uh we're able to give our students each and every uh day and each and every year. These partners provide us with seamless operation.
033It's not like one starts, one stop it. It's just constant. And as you know, unfortunately, we've had some situations lately that has required everybody to come together. Uh, partners helping partners, partners helping the school district, the school district helping the partners. And I just cannot say enough about the people. It's not about the job, it's about the people working together and what they do. So, simply put, uh, we have excellent partners, we have excellent teachers, and they're all serving excellent students. And um there's absolutely no way this district could operate as efficiently that they do uh without all those partnerships and people together. That ends my report unless there's any questions. We heard an example of those partnerships uh from our history professor uh and uh in cooperation with the rangers at um Eisenhower Farm.
034So, I really appreciated that report and um recognize that as a partnership. Mr. Wagel, could I add one thing to my report from earlier? Sure. I I neglected to say the transportation has been paid for the van to go to Cumberland and Perry, but there is a $25 registration fee per student per course. So for anyone who is considering uh looking into that, I needed to make sure you knew there was a a fee. Thank you. Thank you. Any other questions for Dr. Bell or or any other reports? All right. Treasure treasurer's report. Uh Mr. Walmer. Yep. I will make a motion to uh combine all three reports that you see listed in your agenda. The financial report, uh the food service fund statement report, and the student activity report, all ending the 30th day
035of April, 2025. Second. Any comments or questions before we vote? All right. Roll call, please. Mrs. Plank, yes. Miss Youngr, yes. Mrs. Krauss, yes. Mrs. Hollow, yes. Miss Jalal, yes. Mr. Lady, hi. Mr. Lustik, yes. Mr. Walmer, yes. Mr. Wiggle, yes. Thank you. All right, moving on to consent agenda items. Uh, anything uh to pull from the consent agenda? All right. Can we have a a motion for approval? So moved. Second. All right. Any discussions? All right. Roll call, please. Mr. Walmer? Yes. Miss Young? Yes. Mrs. Krauss? Yes. Miss Jal, [Music] Mrs. Hollow? Yes. Mr. Lady, hi. Mr. Lustik, yes. Mrs. Plank, yes. Mr. W. Yes. Thank you. All right. Uh Mr. Walmer, you're up again with the business and operations finance. Okay. Thank you, Mr. President. I'll start out with item 14.1.1. There's two
036items here. These are donations. First donation is school supplies from Walmart for the Upper Adams Intermediate School. Second donation is a portable sink from an anonymous donor for the high school life skills class. Uh it's a valuable uh addition to the class. It helps with independence and enhance instruction and essential daily living skills. So we appreciate both those donations. Very kind. Uh the second item is the uh transfinder renewal and this uh creates bus routes uh for Shel's uh assistant who's coming on. Uh so we'll look for approval of that item as well. Uh Wellspan Occupational Health is item 14.1.3 and this is an agreement to have them do random drug and alcohol tests for bus drivers. Next item is a um uh approval to uh have ACNB and PSDLAF as the district's depository bank
037for fiscal year 26. The next item is the uh dental contract for fiscal year 26. Fiscal year 26 with the dental hygienist. This was previously in the consent agenda and it's been pulled out for further discussion. Mrs. Plank, do you have any comments on this? Any details you'd like to give to the board? Sure. I mean, I can I I can add some addition. Sorry. We need a second. I think we need to go through it and then comments or questions on it. Okay. We'll do that. Okay. We'll come back to that item. So, we'll move on to item 14.1.6. Imagine learning. Uh this is uh for a student to receive summer classes and uh credits. Details attached in your agenda. Next item is uh I'm going to recommend approval of a duckless system that's
038uh coming in under budget by about $600 and um that is for the high school IT room to keep the servers and other equipment cool. Item 14.1.8 is the uh sub lease agreement for Cumberland Valley Area Career and Technical Center. It's a lease and a sub lease agreement. Again, those are attached in your agenda. Final item I had for tonight is to establish a depository account uh for the stadium improvement fund. And this is uh to approve Mrs. tops to move forward with establishing that account. Okay, now we can go back to item. We need a second first before discussions or questions. Second. All right. Now, we're back to you. Okay. Item 14.1 and Miss Plank has the floor. Okay. Uh, I just wanted to provide additional information to the board with regard to other
039providers that are available for this service and I'm not advocating for any particular provider. Just wanted the board to have the same information that I have so that we can make a more informed decision. Um, there are other districts, neighboring districts that use either mobile dentist or family first. Now, I know Kay had said mobile dentist concerned you because you thought that they brought a bus and the kids had to go on a bus and do the exam, but that's not the case. It's mobile simply because they come here and then they would set up inside. Um, with mobile dentists, I think both of them are structured a little bit differently. So, mobile dentist provides like a more comprehensive plan for the kids. So, they would bring a dentist. um they would use parents insurance.
040They would do a dental exam. They could do minor fillings, x-rays, things like that. And while they're here, they would do then the mandated screenings. So the mandated screenings would be the cost to the district, which would be $20 per student for the mandated portion of that. Um, and I think on the conservative side, if if we had used mobile dentists in the year that we had the most amount of students, I think that would have been like $1,700. The other provider is Family First and I I think that provider is the one that's used by most districts and again they're structured a little bit differently in that they do the mandated screening and they do it in such a way that it's I guess a 2hour session and they can see 50 to 75
041students or screens 50 to 75 students per hour. So based on our numbers, I think the high end of what we would pay for that there'd be two sessions because there'd be two schools. So I think it it's the mandate is for kindergarten and third graders. That's the elementary school and then seventh grade which is the middle school. So it's $750 per session. So that's $1,500. In addition, they also offer the preventative dental services as well. You know, x-rays, um cleanings, uh things of that nature. So, I just wanted uh the board to have the information about other providers that are available. I know Mrs. Brewer has done it for quite some time, and I looked at other providers when the cost went up last year from $5,000 to $7,500. And in both of these
042other instances, you know, it would be a cost savings to the district. Any questions on the dental? Does that uh include like any fluoride treatments or is that just an exam on some of those costs? The that would be under I I think that would be under their preventative services that they would offer and they would offer that to everybody but that includes like exam cleaning. So then that would be under parents insurance. Okay. Do we know is that provided under Mrs. Brewer's contract? She does do fluoride. Okay. So, I think fluoride's included under I think the contract we have. Anybody have any other comments? Any questions? Do they do you know if they provide any emergency services? Any what? emergency services do they I don't I don't I mean I don't think so. It
043wasn't in the information that I saw. Um I didn't speak to anybody specifically about that. So I I mean that's something I'd have to ask. I don't have that information readily available. This this item was discussed last year. Mrs. Hops, you did a report uh last April 2nd. and it was dated and I refreshed my memory on it a little bit. Um, and there was there was an issue. It seems like these two programs either charge Medicare or Medicaid and or uh the parents insurance and for the comprehensive for the comprehensive and does Mrs. Brewer would what she does is that comparable to the comprehensive or I I would think it would be this this list here topical fluoride dental exam educate students provide feedback process and collect data there's nine items here so it's
044sort of so it's an option to get the comprehensive with these two these two options it's optional for the students but at least the minimum requirements are met at at a lower price is what it is in a nutshell. Okay. And Mrs. Brewer's cost is $7500, I believe. Yeah. Any other comments or questions? When would this uh matter be brought forward for uh uh other um assessments and final vote? Would it is that to occur this evening or at some future date? Uh that would be now. Well, my comment would be uh I I I truly appreciate the um the uh offering that we make to students for dental health. It's very important. Uh and I would um recognize that the savings if it if we went with the less expensive uh program would be
045u modest compared to our total uh annual budget. However, I also uh feel that it's an important uh consideration that we uh can demonstrate to our um our taxpayers that we're trying to conserve funds as much as possible. So if if uh the services are identical, I would prefer to spend less money rather than more money. So does Mrs. Brewer do uh the basics or is she more comprehensive in her exam? I guess that would be the question. Comparative like apples to apples kind of thing. Yeah, I don't think we're comparing apples to apples. Is that correct? I I do not think so. I would need to have that conversation with I think she provides the fluoride that's part of the program as well. So she would do an exam plus a fluoride treatment. Correct.
046And the other one would be just an exam included and then anything extra would be charged to either the parents. It would run through the parents. That's correct. Insurance. Okay. Is the fluoride treatment much more expensive? Like I'm not sure. I don't know. There's a lot of controversy with fluoride right now anyway. I mean, with the new administration, I think there's discussions about do parents have options to to opt out of fluoride if they wish. Well, what she does is topical. They're not eating fluoride anymore. Yeah. Not I think you need a consent Yeah. form either way. I guess I just have the same comments that I have had in the past. Um, where I go to the dentist, it just recently changed hands and you never see the same person twice and you don't
047recognize anyone. And I I of course I'm old and I like things I'm set in my ways, but I can't help but think that for students it might not be to their advantage to have the same person that they they see each time that they they know and and and like her. Um, the other thing I just I have to scratch my head that we're spending this amount of time on such a small amount of money when the people around this table know the kind of money we have spent over the past 12 14 months on some legal fees and a variety of things that I won't go into, but everyone knows. Um, so for me, I I just I don't see a problem with Mrs. Brewer's um proposal. I just think this the small
048things add up and in our role we have we have we don't have the ability to affect a very large part of the budget as it is and I think when we have the opportunity to do so we are obligated to so I'm just providing additional information so that we can make the important decision. I agree. I agree with that and I respect that and I do think that's our job as board members. But um my opinion stands. Okay. Any other comments or questions? Mr. President, should we have two votes here on the items that I listed and take out the hygienist item? Vote on that separately? Is that advisable? We would need a motion to go back to that. Um, I think we need a vote. Okay. As as long as he starts it,
049you're okay. Okay. So, you just need to you can make a motion just to if you want to vote on it first, pull it and get your second discussion and then vote on it and then make another motion that you do the rest of those items. Okay. Either way, whichever you want to vote on first. Okay. Well, I'll do the single item first. So, I'll make a motion to uh to have a separate vote for item I lost it here. 1415. Thank you. 14.1.5 and then Okay, second. Second. All right, we have a second one. All right, so I guess we need a roll call to go back to the single Roll call. Mrs. Krauss where this is to approve. Let me clarify what we're we're voting on here. At at this point, you would
050be uh voting to approve item 14.1.5 uh which is the dental contract as presented um for the the dental hygienist contract as presented as you saw in your items. Yes. Okay. Yeah. So, this is the motion to approve. Correct. And that would be for the uh services uh the same um uh vendor as the services last year. Is that correct? That is correct. Okay. So, Mrs. Crashora. Yes. Yes. Miss Jal. Yes. Mrs. Halaba. Yes. Mr. Lady. I. Mr. Lustik. No. Mrs. Plank, no. Mr. Walmer, yes. Miss Young Cobber, I'm going to say no. Mr. Wel, yes. Thank you. Motion does carry. Okay.

And uh what I would uh request is that we uh pull up each item uh on our um computer screens and examine them. If there's any uh discussion needed, I'll pause and we can we can uh go to that discussion or questions. Uh if not, I'll proceed through those six items and ask for approval of the of them in their entirety. So uh the first one uh under new hire 14.2 2.2.1. Notice
052three uh uh new um teachers that uh and their information regarding what they'll be teaching. Next, we go to 14.2.2 [Music] uh job description.

[Music] The next one is 14.2.5 uh volunteer services and uh we only see one name here but I've seen lots of names in uh previous reports and I want to thank the volunteers for uh stepping forward and working with us.

055think something. Okay. Take it away, Mr. Brewer. Good evening. How are you? uh happy to put in front of you an agreement. Uh this is something that our transition coordinator Drader has been working on. A former employee has connected with the owner of the flower boutique there in Gettysburg. Uh this is similar to other agreements we've had in the past with Charwell's Gettysburg College in Goldenville Farm. So this is unpaid position for some of our students with transition skills to go out into the community and do some work toward flower arrangements and boutiques. Happy to answer any questions. Sounds pretty interesting. Yeah. Yeah. I would just like to make a comment. I was very pleased when I saw this contract with the flower boutique and Donna McCleaf. She has been a pillar in the community
056and just shows so much care and attention to the arrangements she puts together for all the important events in people's lives. And I believe that it will be a very good experience for our students to have an internship there to learn valuable skills. So Dr. Brewer, they this this student or students could actually travel with the ones who are going to Gettysburg College. Correct. This is just right across the track. So what'll happen is they'll go together and then this student and an adult will or students and adult will be dropped off and then us will go on to Gettysburg College. So looking to build transition skills to students who have the interest. So we have a small group of students who have an interest in working in the flower boutique and as Mr. Jal
057just said we have a fantastic uh person in our community who wants to help our students out and we'd love to meet those agreements with them. Um Dr. biller. Um, not that this would happen, but the my business head if there would be an injury or something, who's liable? The flower boutique or the school district or So, you'll read the agreement that there is some liability that the boutique takes over and then my understanding and Mrs. Hoffs can correct me if I'm wrong. Um, then the districts would be liable for a component of that as well. Okay. I I read that and I just Okay. All right. Thank you. There there's always risk, right? We know that in Jaws. Yeah. Hopefully not. Hopefully not. Right. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Can we get a
