Uh, tonight we have uh no recognitions or public comment. Under the president's report, I just have a couple
003things. Uh, the first thing is reminder that we do not meet in July the board. So, our next board board meeting will be August 20th, 2025. And um there's some business where we'll conduct in new business for approvals. Um the one thing I want to mention is that all the hiring that'll be done in July and August, we will approve. Even though we're going to give, you know, Dr. Robleski, you know, to go ahead to hire, we will approve them at the August board meeting. So, that will come across the board. The other thing is the uh timeline for the superintendent search. And I just want to go over this, you know, really quick with you to make sure we're all on the same page. And if you would like, I can send this out
004to you also because this what we we came up with. Um uh uh July 14th, the announcement of vacancy will be distributed and posted on the websites. Uh August 18th and 19th, we'll have an in district focus group for interviews. Um what was that date again? The 18th and 19th. July. August. No, August. August 18th and 19th. I can send Carol. I can send this out. Okay. I mean, you have to take all these notes. I I'll send it out to you. That's not a problem. uh September 25th, 2025 is the deadline to apply. So we will know at that time who applied. September the week of September 20 26th to 30th uh the consultants will uh analyze all the applications. Uh the week of September 30th through October 5th, the IASB um will screen
005the interviews top candidates. October 13, 2025 is Columbus Day. That's the day we said everyone can make it and we're going to meet and they will uh give us the slate of candidates to the board uh and information guidelines regarding interviews and the process and that will be in close session. Uh the week of October 20th uh we will conduct the board of education will conduct the first round of interviews and that will be also a special meeting in close session. The week of October 27th, the board of education conducts a second round of interviews and that will also be a special meeting in close session. Uh the week of um November 10th, 2025, uh the board of education will negotiate and offer a contract. November 19th will be the board meeting in November and
006we will um appoint new superintendent and they their employment commences on July 1, 2026. The only the only problem with the November board meeting is if you want to do site visits, you want to do site visits, we'll have to push that back and we'll have a special board meeting early December. We will not wait all the way until the end of the end of the month board meeting. All right. And that site visits are extremely informative. Well, I'm I'm just saying it'll depend how soon we can get in to see places. So that that could push this back a little bit with the hiring date. But other than that, I think that's a it's a pretty solid timeline and you know, we're off and running. I mean, couple weeks it's getting put out and
007the ball's rolling. All right. Does anybody have any questions? Okay. And I will send that out to the board, the timeline.

008Mr. PTO. Yes. Mrs. Elhorn. Yes. Mrs. Mr. Yes. Uh, under correspondence 8.1, we received a thank you card from Mrs. Carol Navaro, retired science teacher, in which she expressed her heartfelt appreciation to the board of education for the opportunity to teach at LP and launch of sports medicine classes and contribute to Cavs Day. She also shared her gratitude for the continued support she received from both the administration, the board of education over the past six years. Uh, board committee reports 9.1, finance committee, Dr. Thank you, Mr. Tarber. Uh, finance committee met on Wednesday, June 17th. We reviewed the end of the year financials uh but also then spent time on the FY25 uh budget amendment uh which is an action item um later on in open session. I shared in an email uh earlier today
009once we had a chance to kind of really finalize where our uh end of the year um budget is going to to be at. Um we're going to end um on paper it's going to be like a a slight deficit about $48,000 and as I shared in my email part of that is because of our title one and our IDA grant funds um we expend those monies in advance and then you submit for reimbursements and so we're not going to get reimbursements for over $200,000 until until July. Um the other thing too is we had the as you recall we had more concrete work that had to be done in Howard Fellow Stadium and so we um finished paying those bills up which was about a quarter of a million dollars in the building fund.
010We transferred working cash to kind of fill that up on the Isby budget planner. The budget sheet is does not recognize interfund transfers as new revenue. So even though we we we backfilled that that does not they don't view that as as as part of the the revenue for the year. So when you kind of wash all those things out that's where the final the final number on the on the ISBY uh documents going to to arrive. Um no concerns at all because particularly the concrete work that was that's a that's a one-off. We know that that's done. And the projects that we are are working on now, um, you know, these these are projects that you don't knock on wood, but you don't tend to have a lot of surprises where we knew the
011stadium potentially could have had more uh more work, particularly with the concrete. Um, but we are prepared uh to present the uh the board with the um uh the amended budget. Uh the other item I wanted to uh point out too which is an action item and the finance committee is recommending this too is to um move the activities director differential from the level one back to level from level two back to level one where it originally was. Mrs. Angie Hartman has just done an incredible job uh this year in that role and really as I kind of talked to her and we've kind of assessed what the level of work is. It really does uh uh is worthy of being placed at level one and the committee was recommending that. That's all I have
012unless questions. No, thank you Dr. Bl. Thank you. Policy committee Mrs. Welcome. Policy committee met um and reviewed the um policy and we decided that we were going to accept and approve all of them except anything to do with AI because we are still working the staff is still working during the summer on what's available, what platforms are best, how it works. And uh so that will be a recommendation in the fall um to um address those policies. I understand that's ongoing. It's it's moving all the time. So anything that has to do with that is is not okay um going to be approved, but the rest of it will has been approved by the committee and we recommend that you approve it. And that was that's just AI what we're doing. Okay. Any questions?
013Thank you, Mrs. Elhorn. Building and grounds committee, Mr. Ferrari. Building and grounds committee met on Wednesday, June 18th, and we discussed the uh uh updates on the current projects. U the health occupations uh remodeling is moving along. Uh as you can see outside, work is progressing on the six street renovation and parking lots. And as of last week, the work was 70% complete. Um the roofing repair and masonry restoration is also moving along. Um the transition house roof is complete and gutters and downspouts were supposed to be going in this week. Um the egg building um the architect indicated that uh he should have designs for the committee to look at uh within the next three weeks or so and u the sip and saver remodeling was moving along rather slowly as of last week
014but I understand that uh they were going to light a fire under the contractor and so hopefully that will pick up soon because uh he's got a deadline of August 1st. Um under other um they have installed clocks in the locker room that are synced with the clocks out on the uh basketball floor so that in the locker rooms they'll know uh how much time they've got left. And uh the old days when you send a manager out, right? I mean, come on. Go. I'm sorry. Go ahead. And uh bids are supposed to be uh let out this week on uh work on the uh track over at the sports complex. So, we should be seeing bids on that uh at our next meeting. Okay. And that was it for the uh there any questions?
015Thank you, Mr. Ferrari. Ministry reports uh superintendent report. Dr. Bless, I just have two things to report on. Uh one is the we have the date set for when Newkerk and Associates will be on uh on site to begin the district audit. They'll be uh here actually tomorrow uh to do the preliminary uh field work.
