And tonight we're excited to honor a student, some community members and staff members who exemplify the competencies of our portrait. So I'm going to ask Miss Fifth to go first. Thank you all. >> Good evening. So, at the heart of every successful athletic program are people who care deeply. Not just about performance, but about people. Caitlyn Crump and Ariana Daniel embody that spirit every single day. This past
003weekend, our dedicated athletic trainers went above and beyond in their roles. Those though, for those who know them, this was not an isolated act. In the world of Clark County athletics, these two names are known by everyone, coaches, players, and parents alike. Caitlyn and Ariana have built strong relationships with our student athletes. They know each athlete by name, recognize their potential, understand their needs, and are always alert to possible concerns. Their connections extend beyond the sidelines. They know the parents, where they sit in the stands, and maintain open, caring communication. Their dedication far exceeds taping ankles and providing first aid. This weekend, they demonstrated true compassion and commitment. After a player suffered an injury Friday evening, Caitlyn and Ariana didn't simply follow up with a message. They stayed with the family overnight, offering comfort and
004support. They even ensured the parent had transportation back to their car. That's what it means to be a committed collaborator, fully dedicated to the well-being of our players, and their families. We are truly fortunate to have the best athletic trainers in the state, and we are grateful for all they do for our students, our teams, and our community. So, at this time, I would like to give this award to Ariana Daniel and Miss Caitlyn Crump. Congratulations. [applause] [laughter] >> SHE LOOKS TOTALLY DIFFERENT. >> [applause] >> I THINK SO. DID YOU DR. RILEY? >> I am honored to nominate Miss Jamie Joe Award for recognition as a professional who exemplifies the qualities of a resilient learner, effective communicator, reflective innovator, and committed collaborator. This year, as we learned the new Infinite Campus Workflow suite, Miss Ward
005has been instrumental in helping our team navigate the new system. She has managed multiple tickets, daily phone calls, and emails with IC and KDE, always approaching each challenge with with patience and persistence. Her ability to communicate clearly and consistently with both IC representatives and school staff has ensured that important information is understood and acted upon quickly. She has helped us problem solve complex issues such as attendance challenges by researching options, testing solutions, and sharing practical strategies that improve our processes. Through her dedication, problem solving, and teamwork, Miss Ward has made an incredible impact during this transition, and she has truly deserving of this recognition. [applause] >> [applause] >> time now. [laughter] >> Okay. >> All right. Here we go. >> Two more. [applause] >> [cough] [clears throat] >> these readers on I don't know if

[applause] Squeeze in. It's your day, Dina. [cough] >> Are we ready? Three, two, one. Awesome. Dr. >> Hi everyone. Um my first recognition is for community member
007James Bowman exemplifies greatness as a community partner by dedicating his time every week to mentor and connect with our students at Phoenix Academy. [clears throat] Every Tuesday, he spends an hour with our boys building relationships, sharing his experiences as a business owner and modeling positive leadership. His consistent presence shows students the value of community involvement and provides them with encouragement and guidance that extend beyond the classroom. Thank you, Mr. [applause] [laughter] >> Three, two, one. [clears throat] >> Thank you. >> All right. Again. All right, take two. Um, the second is a student. Adrienne Odorizi exemplifies greatness as a resilient learner by overcoming personal challenges with determination and focus, ultimately turning her life around through hard work and perseverance. She demonstrates empowered leadership by serving as a positive role model, actively counseling younger students and
008consistently setting a standard of excellence in both academics and behavior. Balancing employment with strong grades and a positive attitude, Adrienne has shown her peers what it means to rise above obstacles and lead with both strength and compassion.

Thank you. >> Good. >> Thank you guys. Oh, >> I like it. >> For many years, Emanuel Episcopal Church has demonstrated a commitment to collaboration with Park County schools through support of the family resource and youth services centers across the district. The congregation has again made a generous donation which gives coordinators the flexibility to respond to families in need of emergency assistance. For their continued support of
009Clark County students and the Winchester community, we would like to recognize Emanuel Episcopal Church and celebrate their mission to promote student success and remove barriers.

[laughter] >> Yes, ma'am. really >> I love you so much. >> Thank you. appear. >> Thank you all so much. Hello. On behalf of
010the school nutrition [clears throat] department, we would like to recognize Officer Southwood. Officer Southwood is new to Clark County Public Schools as a school resource officer at Justice Elementary. And he has gone out of his way to build relationships with our staff at Justice. Um on a recent day when there was a lot of emotions and stress that was running high, we had an emergency situation where staff member had to leave for her child and was admitted to the hospital. Another employee got sick and and had to leave and tensions, you know, was stressful. And he did not hesitate to put on an apron and some gloves. And he said he didn't need a hairet. and he jumped uh behind the line and he started serving students to help us out during this time on
011the short staff. Um, one of the kitchen members said to me, "He's a very smart man and he always makes us and the kids laugh." He sensed the tension and the panic and he tried to create a distraction. The kids went absolutely nuts over it. Um I would like to recognize him as a committed collaborator for the work across for working across the roles showing kindness, empathy and teamwork. When I found out what he had done for our staff during this difficult time of unexpected emergencies and being short staffed without time to [clears throat] get help, I was immensely grateful and I wanted to make sure we recognized his service. Thank you. [applause] Oh, I did take an extra portion of mashed potatoes. >> Great. Thank you. [clears throat] Public comments. Harvey girl. >> My
012name is Herby Brock. I'm at the uh high school uh social studies teacher. I teach freshmen. Uh, and this year we're starting, uh, we're trying to start back up our educators rising club, um, which is a future teacher club. Um, and I brought four members today, uh, to tell you guys all about it and tell you about what we plan to do this year and just kind of let you guys know what's going on. Hello, I'm Lucas Mullins and I'm here to tell you what Educators Rising is. Now, Educators Rising is a future teachers club where students will be able to participate in competitions out of lesson planning and teaching state national levels. It was originally founded in 1937 but changed it name to Educators Rising in 2015. >> [clears throat] >> Hi, my name
013is Christian here and um there are seven 71 total members in the club and 18 of them are competing at state and the names are listed below there and here's >> um my name is Riley Cafe. I'm a part of educator rising possible. Schedule we have is going to ENKU on November 7th. Visit the Maria College on November 7th 15th. Asbury conference sometime in January, state in March. Nationals in Portland, Oregon in June. As you can see, this is going to cost a lot of money. um which is why we're here to ask for help. >> Hi, my name is Brian Sory. I'm a freshman at JRC and a member of educator rising. I'm here to talk about the competitions we offer. One being children's books, which is where a student will make a book
014and uh they'll read it to kids that are younger K for K3, preK and Spanish. Some other competitions we have is job shadowing and administration. [cough and clears throat] This is for students who want to see what staff do every day. And we also have lesson planning and teaching with arts, STEM, and CT. This is a very interactive competition where you create a lesson plan for young kids. We also have a job interview where a student will be interviewed like a teacher or coach or anything else. So, uh, of those 71 members, um, about, uh, 68 of them are freshman, uh, at the high school. Uh, so we're a young club, but we've got a lot of students who are really interested, uh, in competing. Uh, I come from Rock Castle County where I started
015the chapter. Um, and we had a lot of success there, and I hope that we can, uh, bring that success over here to GRC and Clark County. You guys have any questions? >> Sounds like a great program. It does. I think it'd be very interesting. >> Yeah, we've always kind of considered it a no-brainer that the school the school districts kind of bring up their own uh teachers. And so this is something that it's not just teachers though, it's also instructional assistance um and support staff that that all kind of we foster uh the the the next generation during this generation. So that's kind of the idea as well. >> Are you guys doing any additional fundraising? >> Yeah. So uh so yeah, I wanted to thank you Dorsy for inviting us to come and
016talk today because um the way uh we found out about this is the fundraiser that we're doing is uh we're selling advertisements on the back of our shirts that we compete in uh and we wear on all of our club days um at the uh uh at school. Um, and so we've already been able to raise about $500 um in uh uh sponsorships on the backs of our shirts. Um, and u u what we're hoping to do um is to be able to compete at the state competition this uh this March uh and be able to see uh visit some of these conferences at some of these universities and colleges that are nearby. Uh and then our pie in the sky hope dream is that we all place at state and then we all hit
017the lottery and we can go to nationals all the way on the other side of the country. Uh uh but uh I do want to thank you guys for for giving us this opportunity to come and speak to you guys. >> The uh the 350 is that per student or is that just for >> No, sir. No sir. That's that's our bus. So So on those days uh we're going to pay for our own food. Uh we're just we're just hoping we might be able to get our buses paid for. Uh none of these events have uh registration fees. Uh they're all open um because the universities want us to come to their campuses because they hope you know our students go to those universities and they're also about building the teacher pipeline as well.
018Uh so no, this is this is what it's going to cost uh for those 18 students that are heavily involved right now. And if more students are involved, if we get all the 71, of course, they'd be a lot more. But that's that's the estimate for 80 students. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Um so I know the curriculum last year at GRC they had they had gotten rid of the [snorts] there was like the educational blocks of track. Have had they brought that back yet or >> that killed me. Um so so I actually applied um two years ago to GRC and then I applied again this year. Uh, so I was hoping that I would have a similar situation where I would be able to teach social studies but also pick up a few
019of those classes to keep that pathway alive. Uh, because we fought so hard to get that pathway at Rock Castle. We finally got it the year I left. I was so proud of that. Um, my hope and dream is one day down the road everything goes really great and we can get that back because um, I don't see any reason we shouldn't have those classes packed in the gills. Yeah, for sure. Now, so I want to make sure the competitions are these four areas. Do they write a children's book or >> They do. Yes, ma'am. They they have the choice to do it electronically or by hand. Okay. >> Uh [snorts] and one really neat one we're going to try to do this year is a Spanish one where we have a student who speaks
020Spanish translate it. And so it's in English and Spanish on the same book. >> Okay. >> All right. Thank you all coming and telling us about what you're doing. And you're meeting on the days that JRC has their club days. Is that >> Yes, ma'am. We meet on uh every club day, but we also meet every other Wednesday after school. >> Okay. >> Uh and that's where those 18 students that that are really into it have been coming back every time. Um and we we practice for our competitions. Um and and right now we're just kind of cramming in all the all the data for the competitions to get ready. Um and and those conferences at ENKU and at Asbury are conferences where we hone our competitions all getting ready for March, >> right? >>
021Okay. >> Outstanding. Thank you. >> Great. Thank you. >> Thank you guys. [applause] >> Thank you. Excellent. >> So, can we add this to the agenda for them? November 7th. >> Okay. So, you got November 7th. So, then can you have this on the next? >> Yeah. Uh will that cover in the 15th >> or you're going to the big one's going to be the statement. >> Okay. Thank you. >> All right. Community partner update. Roland Art Center. >> Awesome. >> Is this the best place to be? >> Yes. >> Oh, that's fantastic. Okay. Well, first of all, thank you all for having me. Uh, I'm here on the invite of, uh, Superintendent Howard. We go way back, actually, uh, all the way back to my freshman year, high school in freshman football. >> And,
022and then after that, uh, I got to spend some time with him right when our team center, the Roman art center, got launched while he was at the Phoenix Academy. So, been hanging out with Dustin for a long time, and he's been a big supporter of mine. uh maybe not so much my football pursuit but uh the nonprofit uh pursuit right so we go all the way back uh we have been around the Roland Arts Center has been around since uh it's something I'm super proud of something I've been involved in since then uh right after I got out of Eastern Kentucky University I got shoulder tapped by one of my favorite people in the world uh mentor husband Shanda Crosby Steve Crosby he said, "Hey, the church is going to launch au community nonprofit.
023There's a need. There's been a uh community um I guess survey that was done." And what that survey found all the way back in 2009 was that we had about 60 to 70 students just walking around downtown, not really being productive. Uh those hours right after school are high-risk hours for them. They were getting into not great things, committing petty theft, a little bit of crime, getting into substance abuse, things like that. So, our church, Copper Christian Church, took it upon themselves to say, "Hey, we want to do something in the community." And so, this idea of a coffee shop on the ground floor, then a teen center on the second floor, uh, I think it came out of Steve Crosby's mind. And because that's generally how he works, he brings it to life. and
024I got to be a part of it. So he tapped me on the shoulder. I was coming out of school. He said, "Joseph, we need a we need somebody to run the teen center." I was like, "Steve, I don't know how to do that." He's like, "Well, neither do we." So we we kind of figured it out, but we failed a lot. Um, having said all that, uh, we've got a rich history, but I also think we're actually one of our community's bestkept secrets. And what's interesting about that, I would imagine a handful of people have heard about us, but much of our community hasn't. And we've been around, we've been committed to our youth. Uh our vision and our mission is to help the young people of Clark County dream big and to provide
025them with the resources and all the things that they need to be successful in middle school, high school, and life beyond. Right? And so everything we do and everything we have done for the last 12 years has come at no cost to any of the students. All of our programming, all the events, everything we do costs them zero. We do not want there to be a pay obstacle or a pay wall or anything to prevent a student financially from benefiting from our programming. So I just want to share a little bit about some of our programming. Justin didn't give me a clock, so you guys are in trouble. I'm a talker. Uh, and so my that's my background. And so what I'll share with you is a little bit about our programming. First and foremost,
026we're a drop-in team center, which means Monday through Friday after school, students can come down into our building, hang out, get poured into, get invested in, find a place where they can really feel like themselves, find a place of acceptance. to take third place outside of school and home where they've got some identity and they've got adults who care about them, right? And so we've got our doors open Monday through Friday after school until 6:00 p.m. So that's our drop in program. We've got two floors. We are downtown. Formerly we were above the coffee shop, right? The can. Then the can became the hall. And then once it was the hall, we actually moved. We bought a building. We're blessed. uh by the community and the generosity of the community, we're able to buy a
027building few doors down. It used to be the old Winchester Federal Bank building. So, we've got two floors. We operate on the second and the third floor. And actually on the first floor, me and a couple of my business partners just opened the golf simulator business. So, shameless plug on teoff. That's on the first floor. >> They were on the news tonight, by the way. >> Yeah, Joshua was there. Um and then on the second and third floor, we've got the teen center. On the third floor, we've got wide open space. We've got consoles. We've got ping pong tables. We just got line open space for kids to kind of run around and spread out and hang out. On the second floor, we've got a couple offices. We've got like a conference room, hangout space,
028couches where the kids can get on Wi-Fi, watch some film on the TV, do things like that. We've got something called Project Launch, which is an employability project. And the whole thing around that is to create soft skills for students who want to get into the workforce. We want to create employable students who go out, get jobs, and contribute to our community. Right? Sometimes these students are kids who've already had a job and kind of crashed and burned. Uh so we kind of bring them back in, give them opportunity or they've never had a job. And so we walk them through mock interviews. We talked to them about what it's like to show up with punctuality, not on their phone all the time, how to deal with customers, how to look them in the eyes,
029and how to just show up and do your job. And many times that job is going to have things and responsibilities that number one, you're not going to enjoy. You might clean a toilet, you might mop the floor, but that's part of it. There going to be other parts of the [clears throat] job that you enjoy. So that's Project Launch. We partner with other businesses and we really create for our high school students an opportunity to build the skills, get the necessary training and resources to go get a job. The good news about that is 90% of all of our students who have come through that have found employment. And so that's a big praise for us. The 10% that didn't, those were our transient students who have been here in Clark County, had a
030family or grandparent in another county and had to move schools or districts, right? So, I couldn't track that. Uh, one of our other things that we do, this might be something you've heard about, is we we provide what we'll call an alternative party after the home football games. We call it a fifth quarter. I'm sure if you've gone to any of the schools, middle and high school, you've seen our hoodies. They say good quarter on it. They say rack. They say the party won't stop. All kinds all kinds of things. But we throw a party from 9 to midnight after all the home football games. And we generally probably have 50 to 80 students who come to that. And so it's pretty positive. We have food, we have drinks, it's a safe space for the
031kids to come hang out. Then our last thing, this is kind of our crown jew jewel program and really what we partner with the schools on the most. It's called mentors and meals. And this program has been in existence since 2016. Uh and really I have to thank Josh Mount for being probably the biggest um encourager and believer in our program from the inception. Uh, one of the things that I got a hold of, I don't know how I did, uh, but way back in the day, he had this three-year plan or vision that I actually don't even know who who he sent it to, what it was for, but it was a three-year plan to bring Baker to a certain level of standards. So, I read it, went to his office, and I said,
032Josh, this is a great goal, and this is admirable that Baker wants to do this, but [snorts] this can't be done by the schools and the teachers alone. you're going to need community partners. And so I pitched up the idea of mentors and meals where middle school students ride the bus to our location. They come in, they get to hang out, they get off the bus, they unwind, decompress, get a snack, and then we have a tutoring hour from 4:00 to 5:00. Then we've got high school students from NHS and Beta Club who I don't have to track their grades because they're in clubs that do that for me. and their level of academic success and standard is enough that they can come in and tutor our middle school students. And so from 4:00 to
0335:00 we have homework hour, we have tutoring hour, we have high school students directly pouring in to our middle school Baker and RDC students. And what's really special about that is those high school students motivate those middle school students in a way that I think parents, graded parents, and even our teachers can't. It's one thing when the star soccer player shows up, spend some time with a middle schooler and encourages that student to take their grades seriously, to show up for class, and to want to do well in life, right? and they're modeling it and they can think, hey, if that kid did it, then I can do it, right? And so then from 5 to 6, we have dinner. And so we are a food insecure community. And what I love about our schools
034is they take care of our students Monday through Friday for breakfast and lunch. And what I believe is super special about what we do is we make sure those students also get dinner. And obviously none of this happens without great partnerships and great volunteers. And so thank you for the time. But I just want to tell you about the rack. I'm not asking for money. I'm just telling you about it. I want you to share our story. I want you to encourage our administrations at Baker Campbell and the high school to keep supporting us, to keep believing in us. We're coming up on our 10th year running mentors and meals next fall. That's an incredible achievement and it's something that our community has supported this whole time. There are ways you can financially support us.
035We have a website. We've got an online fundraiser coming up in December. It's called the Good Giving Challenge. Sure you guys are aware of that. Um and then you can go to our website and put a donation in at any time. But really more than anything, and you all know this, I know this is not a strange concept to you all. The biggest investment we can make in our students is is us. is our time and our attention. The biggest resource all of our students who are at risk, who are going to be a part of my programming, I say mom, it's really ours, our communities, is your attention. I have people who say Joseph, I can only give an hour a week. That might be that student's best hour that whole week, right? And
036so, at the end of the day, I'm just grateful that we have this opportunity. Our biggest and best partner, honest to goodness, are the schools. And so, thank you from the bottom of my heart for my board and for everybody involved for supporting the rack. And we've got mentors and meals. It actually starts next Wednesday. Shout out to our bus department and our transportation department as well. Uh they help provide the buses that get our kids to our location. So, that's a massive, massive deal. And then also special shout out to our family resource offers. There's Casey Davis and uh Whitney Snow at Baker and Campbell. So, thank you all for your time. I'm happy to answer any questions. Like I said, I love talking about it. So, if you got any questions, I'd be
037happy to answer. >> I'm going to come up to you. >> Oh, awesome. >> So, um I got to hear Joseph at there was a mental health task force in Clark County and I think it was August and September. I don't remember. Yeah. >> When it was. >> And I have been in I'm a social worker. I thought I knew all the resources in Clark County. Obviously, I did not because everything he just said, I had I thought they just went down there after school. I had no idea what they did. And so, I asked Mr. Howard if we could um honor Joseph and the rack as a committee collaborator um for the school system. >> Well, awesome. Thank you. >> Yes. So, we're going to I'm sure Mr. Howard >> he's not duck ducking
038this one. >> Not after you made me sound so old. run a program and I know who >> ready. Here we go. 32. >> Go-karts. >> GOING [laughter] [applause] [laughter] consider approval of MOA with P assets. [cough and clears throat] Nelson. >> Good evening. >> Um yes, so um this item on the agenda is simply to consider approval of an MOA with key assets um which is one of our local mental health providers. Um they have several students within this community that they service. Um, so this MOA would allow them to provide school-based individual counseling services to students during the instructional day. >> And it looks like also are there going to be targeted case management too? >> And they also do TCM. >> That's really important. How about Yeah, we have um >> whenever
039we have agencies that provide that targeted case management um really beneficial to have that partnership because it's a wraparound approach to family needs and not just individual student needs. So yes, they also offer targeted case management as well. >> I make a motion to approve the MOA for key assets. >> Motion by Miss Hall. >> I'll second. >> Second by Miss Thomas. All those in favor say I. I >> opposed. Motion carries. [cough] [clears throat] >> Consider approval of MOA with specialized alternatives for families and youth of Kentucky. >> Yes. Um so this particular agency specializes in youth who are in foster care. So they also provide a specialized service to students with significant risk factors. So this allow them to service students within our school buildings. And then and I'll say this, I've worked
040for an a private agency. It's hard sometimes to get therapy services in because they're in school during the day. Um but it's also important to have a really good relationship with a school when a child's in foster care. >> Yes. Especially because we do we can't expect some some transients with those students. So, >> right. >> Any more questions or would anybody like to make a motion? >> I'll make a motion to approve. >> Mr. Kaiser. >> I'll second. >> Second by Mr. Dorsy. All those in favor say I. >> I. Opposed. Motion carries. 5 to zero. >> Thank you guys very very much. >> Thank you. >> Consider approval of updated CCPS EC policies and procedures 2025. So every year, Teresa Combmes, who works as kind of a special education law attorney. She's also
041been a board attorney, also does a lot of work with KSBA, submits policies, procedures to the directors across the state. And then we take those policies and procedures and there are things that are highlighted that we cannot change and there are things that we have some flexibility. And so when we think about what we want to do that's not just best for our students but also to communicate better with our families, we would like to change something in our board policies and procedures for special education. And so in what we would like to do is propose and this is compliance with the Kentucky Department of Education and also our federal guidelines. When a student has an individualized education planner program, they have specific goals that they work on with their special education teacher that are
042developed based upon a variety of data or data. And so within that, each time that that goal is wrote or written, there is a kind of a criterion or also a measurement also how much time you collect or progress monitor. And we have a goal monitoring program within Infinite Campus that does that. Per the requirements for IDEIDA, KDE, federal all set, we just have to report on the overall goal. In prior years, we have also wrote a written benchmarks and objectives. And what that seems to have done is not just confuse our teachers on what am I really monitoring and providing direct instruction on, but also our families because you have this goal and then you have all these other things underneath and it becomes not as consistent and coherent as we would like. Um,
043however, students who run alternate assessment do have to have short-term objectives or benchmarks. So, we would like to update our policies and procedures to state that students who are not eligible for alternate assessment would just have the overall goal and we would only monitor that goal to provide more consistency, clarity, coherence as our students move across our district. Now, I also noted, and I need to get with Miss Bell, there are some highlighted things underneath confidentiality that did not say appropriately, but they're in our prior poor policies and procedures. So, I don't know how I need to move forward, but the KRS did not say in the Google Doc, just the number. So, um it's in our former one here. So, we can take the old, this is the logistics part. Um, we just need
044to take off that from the prior policies and procedures where we don't require short-term objectives and long-term goals on the former policies and procedures. Everything else is updated. You have a new copy of those that were shared with you, but there's a section where I was editing it didn't save when I sent it. So, >> so when we make a motion, what would the recommendation be? >> I would approve the new um CCPS EC policies and procedures with the exception of that section and keeping it keeping it the same as the prior there's no other changes. >> Okay. So then we would like to keep the section chapter 8 all the sections chapter 8 which deals with confidentiality current to the current policies and procedures which were updated I believe in the summer of 2023
045when we updated the hearing impairment and visual impairment definitions. Thank you, Becky. And I apologize that Google. >> So, Miss McCormick, when if I'm if my child has an IEP and I'm going to get a report, are you talking about the report card or or what is it that you're >> Yeah, that's a great question. So, there's different So, we have to do progress reports at the end of every nine weeks for specific goals on the student's IEP. So, that's one p piece of compliance that we have to do. We do not do midterm checks for our goals and objectives because sometimes those goals are only written to be collected every other week or once a month, but we have to by law send progress reports home on those goals at the end of every
046nine weeks. Then we also report on the annual progress at either at the annual ARC meetings, which is where we develop the new IEP, but you have to present progress on all of the goals anytime we have an ARC meeting. So even if we met two weeks ago to discuss the IEP, we still have to talk about any progress that was collected or made from that two-eek period to when the new meeting is. We're very fortunate that we do have a goal monitoring tool built into Infinite Campus. It's a bit more user friendly. It's not the best. We still have some area growth, but um that the state does provide for us within Infinite Campus. >> Okay. >> Any questions? Do we have to have like a first reading and a second reading of this
047or is that just >> just just one approval? >> Just one approval. >> So I make a motion to approve the updated polic EC policies and procedures except for chapter 8 confidentiality to leave it as is. >> Anything else? I think that works. >> Motion by Miss Hall. >> I'll second. >> Second by Mr. Ker. All those in favor say I. >> I. opposed. Motion carries five to zero. >> Thank you. >> Consider approval of Kodell Construction for management services of RDC Baker renovation project. >> So, as you all will remember, we advertised for construction management services for the upcoming project. Uh we only had one letter of interest and that was from Cordell Construction. So, I would recommend that we move forward with pursuing Kodell to help with their upcoming renovation project. >> I'll
048make that motion. >> Motion by Mr. Kaiser. >> I'll second. >> Second by Mr. Dorsy. All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Opposed. >> So, [clears throat] I just make sure I understand. We're just saying that we're accepting them as the construction of for management services. We don't have any numbers or anything, right? It's just Okay. All right. I >> Okay. I just want to make sure >> motion carries 5 to zero. Uh consider discussion and approval of schematic design documents for RDC and Baker renovation. >> And just for your information, the the CM or construction management fees are set by KDE as a percentage of whatever this project ends up being. So, >> okay. >> Thank you for that. you're the total over. >> Uh Mr. Mr. Buckner is going to share
049just some updates from feedback um from you all and from some of the meetings we've had with our architects and Shout Tape Wilson about HVAC and work and um kind of go through some propos new proposed numbers on the BG1s that we would like to get feedback tonight and then bring in November for final approval. >> [snorts] >> Good evening, sir. >> Um, so starting off, so we have we have two two BG1s. Um, I kind of went through this last month, but the first one that we're looking at, the way that we've approached this in terms of the scope of work is that we're looking at doing roof replacements over at at Baker Intermediate and RBC. Both of those roof replacement only projects are consolidated under one BG1. So that allows us to, you
050know, assuming we ended up having to go with a GC for instance, without a CM, um, that could be bid by the same contractor to perform that work. They would have a different subcontractor doing the metal work versus the spray bones, uh, installation over at RDC. Um, so that cost is is relatively fixed in terms of the pricing that we've received from uh, spray techch after their in-depth analysis um, over at RDC as well as the estimate that we had to do the work on Baker. So that number has not changed from what you all have seen before. It's still at that construction cost of 4.296. Uh, and then the total project cost is 4.9 that with once you add in all the solve costs there. Um, that will tick up a little bit with
051the CN fee. We do typically include that on the BG1s. Um, and we'll have that information on the BG2 and BG3 forms as well. [snorts] So, this number would stay the same moving forward unless we get into potentially removing some of the scope from RDC. If you all remember, um, last month I reviewed a set of scans with you all. There are a couple areas of the roof where the foam that's existing there seems just fine. Um, my recommendation is that you're going to have somebody out there doing the work. let's go ahead and do all of it at once. Keeps it under the same contract for the one-year warranty. Keeps it also under the 20-year NDL warranty moving forward every day, you [snorts] know, kind of across the board with that roof. So, um,
052but that's that's your choice if we want to look at some savings there. Um, I think that we can potentially take out a little over 300,000 by making some modifications to some of those roof areas that didn't need a whole lot of work. >> And most of that was on what I call the Rwing, the one in the middle, right? >> That's correct. Yeah. Okay. the the middle wing as well as the the roof over the media center. >> Part of that and part of that lobby, the entry lobby. Um, and then kind of in the back of the band wings, there is some leaks in the bandwagon. We believe that's actually coming from the sidewall flashing where the where the wall and the lower roof meet, not up high. That seems really clear in
053terms of the the scan information. So, um, we could make some modifications to that, but if we continue on with the typical kind of scarification and recoding of the that roof kind of across the board, um, and then making full down to deck repairs where it's required, um, again, it would be all under the same warranty. So, um, that is for the first feature one. Now, the second one, I have two different options. And this is the primary one that we need to kind of walk through uh, this evening and make sure that we're on kind of all on the same page with what we want to do. Um, we had initially brought last month a a a BG1 for the RDC miscellaneous renovation and some associated athletics work there at the RDC campus. Um,
054that was quite a bit higher than the number that you see here. Uh, and we kind of had a meeting with folks here in the district um looked and did another review over at the building and tried to pair that scope back some. So, I have included um I don't need to get into it just yet, but there's a there's a document from Shape Wilson on the MEP upgrades. We've got some highlighted items on there that we removed from the scope. We feel like that those components are purely elective at this point. It'd be nice to go ahead and upgrade those while, you know, we're doing the work, but um it's easy enough to kind of pull those out of scope. Those are things that are operating okay for right now. Um, one of those
055items, uh, we also show as being part of that that bid scope is the whole building fire alarm system. That's a large ticket item. It's about $445,000. That's also something that's that's relatively elective and can be done as an alternate for this project. That means at the time of bid, um, if that number is high and you all don't want to pursue doing that work at during this construction project, we can kind of hold off on that right now. If things come in favorably um and the cost come a little bit lower than than we were thinking, then we can go ahead and add that to the scope with the contractor. So, >> do we know how old the fire alarm system is right now? Is it like different stages? I mean, I could see
056it being like different. >> So, the area So, what what ended up happening there is there was some there was an idea that we wanted to try to upgrade the alarm and the H- wing in particular >> um just due to the age of the system. I don't know the specific age on that right now. In order to do that with the systems >> that they have, we'd have to upgrade the whole building at the same time. >> So that's why the cost kind of jumped the way that it did. Now, >> since we're not getting into above ceiling conditions or anything like that for the HBAC upgrades, everything's kind of in class or down floor level. It's we're not gaining a whole lot of um time in terms of the contractor being there on
057site and having the efficiency of already removing ceilings and things like that. So, um, that's something that's easy to kind of pull out as an alternate, and that would be that would be my suggestion if if that's okay with everybody. Um, in addition to this, one of the the areas that we're considering the core components of the work at RDC are is the HVAC upgrade with the numbers that are in that that spreadsheet. Um, a turf uh a turf system going over the football field as well as expanding that to accommodate soccer. uh right now that'll eat eek into the parking lot a little bit behind RDC that we'll have a little bit of a a retaining wall there. Um that number is also included in this total amount. That's why it's a little seems
058a little bit high. Um, but the idea there and based on the survey information that we get would be to do a 55 PR with soccer field that will allow you all to host district meets um in addition to kind of general multi-use practice and and games uh here uh at RDC. Um the second athletics piece is turfing a a 40-yard practice field uh just outside the fieldhouse over at GRC. So that area is already kind of graded appropriately. It's relatively flat. There may be some slight modifications during construction um to to improve that a little bit more, but uh that that cost about $650,000 to do that full system that'll have them kind of pull back some of that existing soil to put a subbase system down um and turpping over that. So the
059things that we're not including on that initial BG1, so that was the smaller of the two numbers. We are not including any of the exterior windows in H-wing replacing those. We were not including any of the doors. So, we actually looked at a uh I think it was 24 doors total in Hwing to replace those to upgrade the door hardware system and to get the doors matching through that throughout that corridor. Um as well as some replacement of the ceilings over in the band suite and auditorium. Uh and then some additional repair work for the existing softball and baseball fields. So if you look at the um what will be the next BG1 form so that total is 6.4 the if we can go up to 7.1 total project cost that would include those other
060items. So and we have the ability to go up to 10 alternates for the project and I you know my recommendation is always to kind of make use of that. It gives you a lot of freedom and flexibility on bid day to determine what you all want to do. I would suggest doing the windows as an alternate. So, if you want to look at just the public facing windows like we talked about before in Hwing, that would probably be in the neighborhood of $250,000 to remove and replace those with a storefront system similar to what we have over at Phoenix. >> Um, >> when you say H, you mean the one straight from the main office that way? >> No, not the not in the front. It would mean kind of around the back, the
061kitchen cafeteria side around to the back side of the building would be the ones that we're looking at in particular. >> Okay. Um everything kind of in the front is is already has already been updated between the work that was done at the front entry lobby of the administrative suite as well as the media center uh addition. >> The classroom wings themselves are just based on their where there was some initial window replacement and the construction of the Rwing there. Um those are relatively in in good condition. So uh it's just the H- wing windows that we're we're talking about here. there. There's a set of windows that is um between the the D-wing corridor that was added in the little breezeway. And so we we're thinking for now you can probably avoid doing those.
062I don't think they're having any issues in terms of leaks or anything like that right now. Um and cut about $100,000 off the cost of this. >> The other alternate we could potentially take would be to do the media center lighting. That's not included in the basement bin cost. But if we look at doing the ceilings in the media center too, there's a lot of sagging with the 2x4 tiles in there. >> We could come in and replace the pads in that area, leave the grid and add in interstitial members to do a 2 by two system instead, which is going to be less prone to sagging over time. If we were going to do that, might as well go ahead and do the the lights at the same time. So again, that can be
063alternate work. You can decide to take that or leave it come midday. But other than that, we we have plenty of room to do alternates on the project. We've got we'll typically do door hardware uh owner prefer control system and for the HVAC system as well. So >> as far as the parking lot I mean there's lots of parking area there. So, is there much concern about extending the stadium or the field any? Not really a stadium, but >> I don't think we have any concern. I've been back there several times, even during the school day and there rarely used. So, >> okay. >> And it would just be affecting one row on that back side that would expand out. So, it's not >> It's hard to tell when you drive by because it's such
064a big parking lot. It's hard to know. So, okay. That's good though that we can. So what you're saying is to to ex make it bigger so that um if there's soccer games then it would fit the soccer field is okay. >> Yeah. The field's not soccer legal right now. Football field didn't. >> Okay. >> And soccer lines are just a little bit wider than football field lines. >> Didn't know learned something. So >> all that to say the kind of strategy we we went through since the the previous meeting was to try to rein in that cost. Um I think we were kind of hovering around 16 and 17 previously. We've kind of pulled that back into a total cost of about 12. Um so we try to get it closer to 11. Uh
065we were still even with doing the core items we were still like at 115. So, we weren't quite hitting um that benchmark number based on what we're taking out. With the CM on board, it may be that we start to look at some of those. They may get some information in from some of the local contractor base um and can put some, you know, kind of tighten the numbers up a little bit more. >> So, again, this is still an estimation. We still have to be approved. We'd have to bring the BG back and then we'd have to put it out the bid. And at that point, >> we would get you we can get real numbers. >> Yeah. No more. >> Yep. So moving forward, you know, assuming that everybody's okay with that path
066and what's included in the scope on that second BG form and I can adjust it based on the alternates, the we would come back next month with the BG2 and the BG3 form for the project. That'll be just a little bit more information, but that allows you to kind of move on past the design development phase with the project and into construction documentation. So right now, we're also asking for schematic design approval. We're well past that for both of the projects as is. Um I'm not going to go through all the drawings. I do have them, but I'm not going to go through them. Sorry. [laughter] If you have any questions on those, you all should have a copy of those files. Um you know, feel free to reach out to me. >> Okay. So,
067Ashley, we I just want to check Tom for you. >> Yeah, I'm >> um Okay. So, do we are consider discuss or do we have a motion? We need to make an approval for Oh, no. We've already done that one. >> Yeah, we've already done that one. >> So, we're on six. >> Now, don't confuse me. >> I'm confused. I'm sorry. >> We need to approve of the schematic design documents. >> Okay. >> I'll make a motion to approve the schematic design documents. >> Motion by Mr. Kaiser. >> Second by Miss Hall. All those in favor say I. >> I. Opposed. Motion carries five to zero. All right. I will turn it over to you now. >> Okay. All right. >> Miss Mrs. Roland has to go to another meeting. So, um, our next agenda
068item is consider review and approval of proposals for the Clark County RDC site survey. So, in order for us to do any of the work with the turf on the football field and any potential future athletics work over at RDC, uh we need to go ahead and get a site survey completed for um that that project cycle. So, right now we're looking at doing the entirety of the project that you see here, everything that's in the red bounds um for what we're looking at. Obviously, here is the the football field. We're looking at expanding this into this world of parking on this side. They're going to be surveying all this information for us in order to be able to put together the the site drainage uh drawings for the turfing of the football field. So,
069we had we had three uh surveyors send back proposals. Thoroughbred, who is the one that we were looking at here, and we are um we're suggesting that that you all go with them and you all are I mean, we'll do it. They they were the lowest in terms of cost at $21,000. They also had the fastest turnaround time of about four weeks. So the other uh the other two were in the six to eight week range and were were more expensive. >> Okay. >> We've confirmed their cost with them and they're disc. >> So what we need to do is approve the propo the proposal for thorough bread. Is that what you're saying we need to do? Okay. >> Does anyone have any questions? Okay. Do I have a motion? >> I'll make a motion
070to approve it. >> Okay. So, I have a motion to approve. >> I'll second >> the thoroughb bread. Let's make sure we have it right. >> Third bre. >> Yes. Miss. Okay. So, all those in favor >> say I. >> I. >> Motion passes for 10 zero. >> Okay. Right now we do not see a need to do any further surveying over at the fieldhouse site for the practice field. We have the asfield documentation. We know the grades that we had suggested putting in if that's slightly off. Um right now we we can suggest that we we do something during construction to make some adjustments there, but we we typically have about a quarter to eighth of an inch tolerance for for the grades there. So anyhow, that's it. >> All right. Thank you. >>
071Thank you all. >> Okay. Our um next agenda item is our um student learning and instructional services. We have a department of early learning update by Mrs. Jillian Black. >> Hello. Good evening. So, um I'm excited to be here tonight to give you a little update, a brief update on the great things that are happening in the department of early learning. And so, um, I'll start with the Cardinals Nest. Uh, it's a licensed type one facility, childcare center. We serve as 6 weeks old to three years old. So, as soon as they turn three, they transition to preschool. And we currently have 50 children in our program. There are three infants when which are 10 and two infant classrooms. So, we have two infant classrooms with 10 infants in there. and we have 30 toddlers
072across three toddler classrooms which one just opened up not long ago. Um and we have 15 staff members at the Cardinals Nest. Um we just started utilizing a curriculum called Funny Dapper and uh we just started that within the past month. So we are getting uh into that and learning about it, but it's going great so far. And one thing that we just found out about two or three weeks ago is that we um we put in for this quality improvement stipen uh for the state and we received it. So we got $12,300 that will go towards professional development and our curriculum, health and safety. So that was excellent news for us. Uh for those who work in the Cardinals Nest, they have to have TRIS hours. So it's a little different. So it has
073to go through actually a Trish trainer which are not cheap. Um so this was really nice to receive uh to help give that professional development to our staff. And so um as we have done we are growing at the Cardinals Nest. Um we have grown three times since opening in January of 2024. Um and I'm here to announce that we're growing again. Uh so we are going to be opening a toddler room. um or no, our third infant room on Monday. And so um that'll open on November 3rd. And with the opening of this room, we officially have no one on our wait list. So all of our employees in the district have a place for their infants and toddlers. So that's great news. Um and I'm going to overload you with some cuteness next
074because we have to have cuteness. Oh, look at it. So, there's uh some of our precious uh infants and toddlers at the Cardinals Nest. Um so, I didn't know if anybody had any questions for the Cardinals Nest. >> They're so >> other than the cuteness. This is why I put this on here because you would focus on the cuteness. [laughter] >> Okay. >> It worked. >> It did. All right. So, the next program that I'm going to uh talk briefly about is the preschool because that's the other program under the Department of Early Learning. And as Mr. Boward uh talked about last board meeting. We are a level five all-star program. So that's a huge accomplishment for the preschool. We serve three-year to 5-year-old and like I said from the Cardinals nest. When they turned
075three, we actually had one start on Monday. She transitioned from the nest and started with us on Monday. So they just swoop right on over. They fly right out of their nest and into the into the bigger nest. Um, so we have 317 students currently at the preschool, but we started uh we enrolled four new students on Monday. So that did grow over the weekend. Um, we have 19 classrooms and we have about 80 staff members, uh, two speech therapists, an occupational therapist, a physical therapist, and then we have a visioning and hearing teacher, too. Um, we are a blended program with Community Action Council, which is also known as Head Start. And then I just thought I would talk about some of our partnerships um because we have some amazing partnerships uh at the
076preschool. One of those is our splash class which is through Winchester Clark County Parks and Recreck, Friends of Parks and Recre. And you see a lot of our pictures. Um but that's where we can offer uh swim lessons to our four-year-olds at the program. And so Mr. Howard was very gracious to provide the bus transportation. And we weren't too sure about how this was going to work this year, but it's actually gone phenomenal. Um, so they offer the library over there. So we take two classes at a time and we use the library to do some things with our students while they're waiting for their swim class and then we switch it up and then those kids go to the library and play while the other class is having swim lessons. But it's a great
077partnership. We also partner with our uh Clark County FFA students and they come over monthly and do a lessons with our students and last um [snorts] last week or what's last week fall break? whenever it was last week, I think. Was we at all three last week? I don't know. >> No. So, last week we It's busy. >> [laughter] >> Last week we took 283 preschoolers to Avalon Farm um on a field trip. And it was we did this because the FFA students uh they sent us 25 FFA students and they did a fantastic job with our little cards on helping us keep 283 students in the farm uh going through all the animals [laughter] and they did a great job. I cannot um rave on how well uh that went that day. So, we're
078gonna correct. >> We [laughter] did not do >> that was a direct. We're not taking the trigger. >> Yeah. But we might do it last year because this was really good. But another thing about FFA is we were able to [clears throat] provide this opportunity for our students and families at no cost to them. Avalon Farm really worked with us um to make that allow allow that to happen. So, that was awesome. Um we also have bound be a man. So we have male volunteers who come in and read and do activities with our male our young male students. And then um just to kind of talk a little bit about our family engagements that also bring a lot of community partners. One of our most recent ones was our fall festival which was on
079October 9th. We had uh 486 people sign in. I'm sure there was some families who may have missed the sign in table. Um, but that was a huge success and we had 10 community partners there like the fire department, uh, Winchester Police Department, we had First Church of God, so many community partners, um, the health department hands program. Um, it was just a wonderful event. So, I'm going to overload you with some cuteness again in case you have any questions about preschool. These are a lot of pictures from this is from our film trip and from some swim lessons. Just another shout out to the FFA. All the students at preschool were able to go to the Avalon farm for free because the FFA used some some Perkins money to sponsor. So no family had
080to pay or we left out. So big shout out to to Miss Big and our FFA department of high school. >> All right. And now the afterare program that is growing everything. We're all growing in the department of early learning. Um they are also a uh licensed type one uh afterare program. They serve students from ages 3 to 12 years old. We currently have 246 students. Again we started two new students yesterday. So this continues to grow. Um some numbers are there about 80 preschoolers, 153 elementary and 13 at Baker. Of course when Baker when they start that's when they age out at 12 years old. So we'll start seeing that number decline a little bit. And then also sometimes moms and dads think they, you know, they're they're old enough to maybe stay at
081home a little bit by theirel. Um, but that number has stayed pretty steady this year. Last year it declined uh quicker than it has this year. So that's great. We have about 27 staff members in our afterare program. We are in seven locations. So preschool, the four elementaryaries and Baker. We do accept child care assistance. I just want that to kind of be known so that our families know that we do take child care assistance. We have learned a lot about CCAT. Um we do offer extended services such as fall break, winter break and spring breaks, but you must pre-register because it is a ratio program just like the childcare center. We have to maintain ratios. The whole department of early learning maintains ratios. So um and then we also have summerare. So just to
082give you a little bit of um numbers for this past summer. So this past summer was our first goround at summer care and it was a success. Um and we served 145 students across three locations that was preschool up to the age 12 and we actually um brought in some students back to our district through the summer care program this year. Um so those students came back to Clark County or enrolled in Clark County after attending our summer care program. So that was good. Um our overall aftercare enrollment has increased by 75 students since last year. So our program has really grown significantly. This fall break um we served 107 students uh this past fall break which clearly was two weeks ago not last week. [laughter] Um and then we we stepped out of the
083box and we took them on a field trip and we went to Avalon Farms too. So we took the uh the fall break afterare kids to Avalon Farms and they had a great time too. Um so the first of November is when we will open up pre-registration for winter break. So like I said we do pre-register for our breaks because of the ratios. Um and then we are already planning uh summer care for 2026 because we anticipate that it's going to grow as well. So and here's the last overload of cuteness. So from our summer care or afterare program. >> Oh, and just for like um just a extra information. So overall the department of early learning currently serves uh 614 students from the ages of 6 week 0 to 12 years old. >> So
084that's amazing. >> Anyone have any questions for Mrs. P? No, I just think it's great. The program's really taking off. >> I'm excited about it. >> Yeah. Great. >> We are, too. We're growing. >> That's what Mr. Wson and Mr. Brandon always loves to hear when I come and say, "Oh, we're growing." [laughter] >> Thank you all. >> Okay, everybody. Good to keep going. Everybody good? >> I'm good. >> Okay. Um, our next agenda item is our finance and human resources update. And so I'll ask Miss Ellis to come up and talk about our financial update. So, we are a little bit under this time frame with receipts compared to the same time frame um the same time as last year about 3% down, but that is not concerning at this point. We're still we
085will get our big pay for um next 1 of November with our sheriff collection of So that will put us kind of up where we need to be. So and that will be good with next month. Expenses 19% versus 18% 1% that's tracking. Um so we're good there. We did have some good news um with calculation of our seek tenative seek dropped literally the day after our board meeting um when when we presented our working budget. And so that increased we had an increase with the our SAR report which is the superintendent attendance report. Um we were up 148 students I believe it was for what we had projected which we were very conservative in our projections on purpose um because we always want to be more versus less. Um so that gave us extra
086dollars into our revenue budget. So, we're up um with that um about $700,000. So, that is good news. We have put that in instruction. Some information coming on what directive that is going to be used for I think maybe already had a few conversations. Um but more information to come about where we're going to go instructionwise on some um information on that. But, um so good news in that directive. We're still sitting at 6% on our contingency with the 3.9. So, We're still sound in our budget. Any questions? >> Questions? >> Um, so taxes, we're still kind of tracking. Like I said, we're waiting on our property tax that will come first in November. That first big check where everybody's paying early to get that 2% discount. So, we'll we haven't received that yet, but
087it always comes that first week of November. So, we're waiting on that from the sheriff. Um, but we are up on our franchise, which we talked about that last month. They're kind of up and down, but we got that really big check right at the um first of the fiscal year. But with the collections, we have gotten motor vehicles currently at 25% and then franchise is currently at 20% with what we have received this month. So, okay, it's up from where we were last year this time. So, that's actually good. All right. Any questions? >> All right.

So this is our first offer of our KS which is the technology budget that Mr. Kase operates on and so they send us two offers a year and this is we have to approve it and we match it. So this is from the state and we escrow it and we will create his grant for next year in the budget. So we always create next year from the offers we receive this year his grant for the following year. >> Okay. Do we have any questions? Do
089I have a motion to approve the K's first offer of assistance? >> So moved. >> All right. And do I have a second? >> Second by Mr. Dorsy and Mr. Heiser. Um, all those in favor to approve of the cat's first offer of assistance, say I. >> I. >> Motion carries four to zero. >> Okay. All right. I'll ask Dr. Tammy Parish to come. And thank you, Miss Ellis. Um, Dr. Tammy Parish is going to talk about considering approval of policy 01.1 legal status of the poor. This is the second reading. >> Yes. So, this is just the second reading. It's not changed since the last board meeting where we updated the order from Sha to May and the non-discrimination notice. >> Okay. All right. Does anyone have any questions? Great. I'll make a motion
090to approve policy 01.1 legal status of the board. Second reading. Do I have a second? >> I'll second. >> Second by Mr. Dorsy. All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Motion passes four to zero. Okay. And then Dr. parish consider approval of revised job descriptions. >> So, there are a few job descriptions in front of you and we changed the physical demands to realign all of them. So, they're all the same in the physical demands now. >> And this has to do with spec. Yeah. Pushing, pulling, lifting, carrying, repetitive. Make sure no one has any questions for Dr. Parish.

091Motion passes four to zero. Approval of revised job descriptions. >> Thank you. >> Miss Thomas, did you get a chance to >> Oh, I'm sorry. I was looking this good. I'm good. >> All right. All right. Okay. All right. Thank you, Dr. Parish. >> All right. I will hand it over to Mr. Howard for the superintendence report. >> Sure. A couple [clears throat] updates I want to give you guys that next week we'll be uh taking a staff workday on what what usually election day. There's some national elections, but just want a reminder. We'll put that out on all of our social medias and platforms to make sure. Uh so the staff will be working. Uh the initial plan was to do a deep dive on our Kentucky state assessment uh results. Uh however, those
092have been delayed. Uh so we won't get them as a district officially till November the 17th. >> So we're working with principles to review those. It's the latest we've ever gotten them. I'll leave my statement at that. um we'll be able to share with you guys on the 17th and then the media will be able to um post it on the 19th or the 18th I think at 1201 something like that. So um [clears throat] so we're excited. I can't say anything publicly but um we are growing greatness and we're making strides uh which which is exciting. Um we do want to bring attention that every school building will have Veteran Day programs this year. Um that's the second year in a row when we've been able to do that. But we celebrate and our
093kids, the coolest part is our kids actually put the programming on. So it's not a bunch of adults up there for the most part. It's our students uh understanding what veterans do and giving back and the selflessness that they um have given to our country. Um bringing back by popular demand holiday meals. Uh so all of our parents will be invited to a couple holidays meals coming up. one around Thanksgiving and then one before the Christmas break, uh, winter break where you can come in and eat. We do charge you, I think it's like >> $5.25. The best meal you can ever buy for $5.25. >> Multiple desserts, pumpkin pie, banana pudding, apple pie, ham, turkey, gravy, mashed potato stuffing. Big fan of the stuffing again. I like it. Um but really the point is
094to lean into our vision which is to connect um our district to our community to grow greatness in all of our students. Uh we've got to build relationship with our parents. We've got to build relationships with our grandparents. Um and a lot of times they don't get to see all the all the great things happening in in the building. They don't get to come in and and meet their teachers and staff. And uh we're trying to do a much better job because they are our partners in this work and they need to be treated as such. and uh being from a farm and preacher family back in East Kentucky, you know, you you build relationships when you eat together. Um and so we really want as many people as possible uh to come in and
095hang out with us during those couple events. Um so Miss Ellis alluded to um some some we went on a little mini field trip, Miss Fifth and Mr. Watkins and I of Madison County, we've set up a second field trip uh for some principles uh to really look at some programming they're running with uh college for with career technical education CTE. Uh so building that not just at our magnificent high school. We have 22 different pathways on top of our area technology center but expanding it into RDC as well as Baker uh with exploration classes uh in everything from cosmopol cosmetology to phbotomy to construction management to plumbing. We have got to focus on the whole child and not just reading and ma and writing which we it's very important but if they don't have
096a skill set or know how to apply that and sometimes that doesn't mean going to college it means going to to to a technical college or being a certified welder. Um, and so as we intentionally push the curriculum down to our younger kids, we're hoping uh and and the goal would be that they would get experiences that no student in Clark County have ever had before at that age. Um, so I've invited a couple board members to go over um several this this is expanding quickly. Um, but our kids deserve that kind of exposure. Uh, so we're super pumped about that. Um and now because of the growth of the district, um we've kind of honed out and carved out some of that funding so that our schools don't have to pay for uh the
097curriculum. Uh we can do that as a board and superintendent. Um but again, more to come on that and hopefully we'll we'll big time celebrate when we roll out these uh career exploration labs. Um and again connecting also talked to Brad S of the IDA and he's super excited about tying our business and industry into these labs. So, it'll be again our community uh working together to to grow greatness in our kids. That's all I have for you today. >> Okay. Well, thank you, Mr. Howard. >> Oh, go-karts. >> Oh my goodness. >> Can't believe that. >> Must be excited about CTE. >> Okay. Our next agenda item is consent agenda items. Do we do I have a motion to approve these consent agenda items? >> [clears throat] >> I make a motion to approve
098the consent agenda items uh as amended. >> Oh, good, good point. So, they we did amend um the last one, the date for the jersey girls basketball team to travel. Okay. Do I have a second? >> Second by Mr. Kai. First by Mr. Dorsy, second by Mr. Kaiser. All those in favor say I. >> I. I. >> Miss Thomas. >> I. >> Okay. Motion passes four to zero. Okay. And now we need to um adjourn to close session. Um I need a motion for adjournment to executive session for KRS.6 I'm sorry KRS 61.810 810 1B deliberations on the future acquisition or sale of real property by a public agency, but only when public publicity would be likely to affect the value of a specific piece of property to be acquired for public use or sold
099by a public agency. And KRS61.8101C, discussion of proposed or pending litigation against on against or on behalf of the public agency. I need a motion to adjourn to close session. >> I'll make that motion. >> Thank you. I'll second. All those in favor say I. I. >> I. >> Motion carries 4 to zero.
