purposes uh the test assesses skills in English math reading and science with an optional writing section each section is scored from a 1 to 36 with the composite score being the average of those four subject scores the ACT does not release
specific data on the number of perfect composite scores per graduate per graduating class however approximately only.19% to 22% of all test takers achieve a perfect score of a 36 i am
proud to recognize the five students from Carmel High School's class of 2025 that achieved this perfect composite score of 36 on the ACT and fall within this top 2% of all test takers so if you'd please come forward as I read your

Scholastic Press Association received a first class rating um I think it's safe to say that the staff is being recognized on the state and national level for their professionalism and hard work um additionally two current staffers won a Harvey award from IHSPA
um for their work in the 2024 yearbooks people section um these two were section editors during their junior year um on the people section which includes all those amazing you know we call them mug shots student portraits um for all 5,000

the Pinnacle staff um this group of students began its yearbook journey during 2122 um they've created two Hooser Star winning yearbooks um and another that they've been a part of has been a finalist um we're hoping for a same result when this book comes out in
just a few weeks um not only all of that not only are they winning awards but they're creating selling distributing that 550 page full color book um that Mrs ramos referenced earlier um and then we're distributing over 3,000 copies of

opportunity to recognize some outstanding students my name is Jim Stril and I am the adviser of the Highlight News staff at Carmel High School it is my privilege to recognize an incred uh It is my privilege to recognize the Highlight staff for an incredibly successful year earning top
honors in both state and national competitions the first award comes from the Indiana High School Press Association where the highlight earned its fourth consecutive IHSPA Hooser Star Award for websites the Hooser Star as Miss Burke mentioned is the IHSPA's highest honor and is akin to a state
championship in athletics of note both the Highlight and the IHSPA have made some changes over the years in 2021 the IHSPA began recognizing websites in their own category uh and in 2022 the highlight moved fully online given that the highlight has actually been named a
Hooser Star finalist for 23 consecutive years earning a Hooser Star award in a combination of web and print 19 times the second award comes from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association this year the highlight earned its second consecutive gold crown the CSPA's
highest honor this marks the ninth gold crown for the highlight in the past 13 years the highlight's third award comes from the National Scholastic Press Association where the highlight has been named a pacemaker finalist in the website category the NSPA Pacemaker is often called the Pulitzer Prize of
Scholastic Journalism because of its prestige and this year marks the eighth consecutive year for the highlight to earn finalist status with the team going on to win a pacemaker award in six of those years but this year's competition is not yet complete uh the NSPA will announce pacemaker winners at its
semianual convention next week in Seattle so I'll keep you updated and with that it is my honor to recognize the Highlight Senior Management team which is here on behalf of our more than 50 member Highlight News staff first we have our managing

control room underwent a massive renovation which moved us out of our studio and classroom um for the first semester and our crew found a new home in the library which I'm sure really excited everyone there uh the students though really
persevered we immediately started to plan different ways to broadcast and the ever popular eh show was brought out of retirement from COVID and so we were able to stay connected with everyone while we were not able to go live um but
I'm happy to say that we are back live on air and we recently just celebrated our 1,000th video on YouTube which was a pretty huge undertaking um so between live shows in our new control room uh live games which were
back on the air there as well other events produced content our website and social media we are bigger and better than ever before so first up we have um several first place national awards at the 2024 intercolgiate broadcasting
system awards which are in New York City in March um hundreds of high school and college students attend this conference which is right in Midtown so the students get to attend sessions on media and script writing and they also get to experience a little New York life we

astonishing place i've worked in many high schools and I've had many different roles but this is probably my my favorite role of them all i really love being here i work with phenomenal students there are so many of them here tonight um because they've won so many awards but also because they are part of
this WHJ family and they just turn up at weekends during the holidays in the evenings for all kinds of events uh it's not surprising they do so well and they they produce such astonishing work despite the fact that um like TV we had problems with at the beginning of the
year with our with our new studios being being put in but despite that we work in a tiny little recording studio for our live studio they still produce phenomenal work and produced so many winning entries both the national and state competition i'm so proud that they
put those kind of setbacks behind them and still managed to push on great great work um also something uh that people we we have a very strong relationship with CHTV we went with them to New York as Mrs o just uh talked about but uh next

perch for being the high school station of the nation this year however we did win more individual awards than the other high schools so we can take away that as well but uh thank you very much [Applause] can I brag on one of our students for
just a minute so we were at a conference and this gentleman was speaking and he is a broadcaster a very famous broadcaster and one of our students raised his hand with a question and that famous broadcaster said "Hey are you so

for full potential my daughter graduated two years ago and I figured out roughly she spent 5,000 hours in the classroom about 2500 hours running and she was in the pilot program uh of the internships and they did about 100 hours So I have a program that I've been
working on for 10 years i met Dr barisford five years ago in his office and it's now time to do it and Carmel's won a lot of what almost 200 state championships with this program it could easily be number one in the country probably world and I'd like to get a
chance to follow up on that but I'm done i did that gave you two minutes back thank you very much for coming out this evening up next we have our consent items so on our consent agenda we have a personnel

carries 5 to zero and then up next we have our very exciting workshop topic on polytenic dr dudley thank you so this evening we're excited to um bring many of our students
here um and teachers and department chairs to share more information about the CHS polytenic um program at the high school and this evening you're just going to get a little taste literally of some of the things that um happen at the
high school and the the great pathways that they have so I'm going to start with um introducing Mrs amanda Hogland mrs hogland is one of our assistant directors of curriculum and she works with our high school very closely on the curriculum um training and support for
our polytenic um program so Mrs hoplin great thank you so much for having us tonight uh with me I have Ramona Rice she's an assistant director of curriculum and Brad Siver he's assistant principal at Carmel High School and
together we support the five departments that make up Polytenic and again we are just so excited to showcase for you tonight all the things that our students are learning and we started we'll start with a little history back in
2023 we gathered a group of CTE teachers together and researched best practices we also um came together to develop this vision and mission statement that you see before you um the vision being
connecting students to their future and that's exactly what we aim to do in Polytenic is to help students connect with their unique future goals and with further ado I'm going to pass it over to
Brad Siver so he can talk to you further about Polytenic thank you thank you Amanda so on the screen you can see next year at Carmel High School we're going to offer 35 different career pathway opportunities for students um and the majority of
those career pathway opportunities are through our polytenic department uh you can see based on this slide uh the little uh parchment indicator means that those career pathways uh students have
the opportunity to earn an industry uh certification and then the various career pathways also uh many are aligned with dual credit programs uh and you'll have a chance to get up close and personal with with some of the students and teachers involved uh
directly uh in these pathways just a little bit later so as you may know as these career pathways uh work um students uh begin a career pathway uh with a principal course so that is the first uh course in the three course
sequence uh and then um if they decide hey this is something I'm really interested in they move on into the second year course which is known as concentrator A uh and then the third uh year course is concentrator B uh once they've completed uh this three-year
course sequence uh then they have completed uh their career pathway uh but uh if they're interested in pursuing a work-based learning opportunity that internship opportunity uh then they have met the prerequisites and uh they can
participate in the capstone course uh which is the the Indiana course title for our our work-based learning and our our internship programs you can see based on this graphic that our work-based learning
numbers have grown significantly just in the last couple of years uh you know in the 2023 we had 57 students that were involved in our work-based learning program uh next year as of today we have 215 students that have signed up for
course requests to participate as a 12th grader in our workbased learning uh internship program so the workbased learning coordinators Mr reid and Mr drew are working very hard uh to solidify those those placements here are just a few
highlights of students involved uh you probably know that when we talk about work-based learning it's such an array of experiences um you can see you know Colin is in computer science and he is doing an internship uh with Thrive
Orthopedic to streamline some of their processes uh Nora has an internship uh with Invest Hamilton County and Mike Tibido and his office and she works to promote marketing for Invest Hamilton County ethan works as a software
engineer and and cyber security intern at Brightite Works and then you're actually going to get to hear from Fernando today he's going to be at station two uh he is doing workbased learning in automotive uh so excited for you to kind of get to talk with him and
field questions but just an array of experiences that students are getting based on their interests also I think it's important to note that when we talk about the the polytenic uh department uh we're really talking also about a lot of co-curricular opportunities for students
so I just wanted to make sure that we highlighted those uh you're going to hear from some DECA students and our DECA advisor Jacob Goodman uh they're going to be at one of the stations but you know we have over 600 students that participate in DECA affiliated with our
business department uh and and definitely a award-winning um also FCCLA in our family consumer science area uh we have over 45 members that uh in in that uh in in FCCLA we also have about
60 students that participate in cyber patriots uh and again they have they've received accolades we have students that participate in mock trial over 20 and then you just basically met the entire
broadcasting team and uh everyone uh you know really affiliated that that won those awards boards with the Greyhound Media Network uh I'm very excited to uh announce you probably saw on social media over spring break uh Tech Hounds became state champs
uh and that involves over 140 students mr griggs Mr schwarz and Drewer have really developed and grown that program uh and and you know created kind of a a junior varsity team to just instill and and cultivate growth and and interest so
um very exciting co-curricular and extracurricular opportunities i just have to throw in a few pictures uh you can see uh students uh you know winning awards participating in these activities and it's just exciting to be a part of the polytenic department because it's
it's not just about the success in the academics but also exposing students to real world experiences and opportunities outside of the classroom to showcase those passion and and interests uh we also right before spring break uh one of
my favorite events of the year uh since the poly techchnical department truly is an integration of of various career fields and areas uh we uh hosted an event um at at Cohatch right downtown uh where we celebrated student work in
culinary arts and in fashion and of course uh in in visual arts and it was just really it's a really great event to truly integrate uh these these polytechnic uh areas um I do have to uh introduce and highlight uh the leaders
uh in each of these areas you've already met Terry Ramos uh she oversees the communications department nancy Spencer uh oversees business and family consumer science jyn Bup oversees art sid Schwarzen Drew engineering and technology and then of course uh you
know Amanda and Ramona just instrumental in in developing the curriculum uh and and just work very hard as as some of these programs are new uh we're we're adding new courses and they're always on top and helping us uh curriculum map and and
and get the resources that we need uh for for these areas so um with that similar to last month with the science stations uh you know it's going to be kind of a similar format um we have here
station one is going to be culinary and DECA you'll have an opportunity to talk with some of the students and and the teachers related uh to those areas station two that middle table that's automotive and work-based learning as I mentioned Fernando is going to be one of
the students there he'll be able to field questions about his workbased learning experience and then station three is going to be Greyhound Media Network and digital design so u the teachers in those areas we're going to have Mr goodman uh with DECA Mr young
with culinary arts we're going to have Mr jones and Mr schwarz and Drewer at that middle table and then uh I think the whole crew we got uh Mrs stoic Mr james for uh uh Graham meeting network and then of course Mr serencion for

I was just going to say baseball hello hello thank you so much to all the students and staff for coming out this evening that was wonderful we appreciate you mr shapiro says to leave the Kate pucks
here uh up next we have Dr barisford's report it's kind of hard to follow all that to be real honest with you the uh what a wonderful uh evening we I understand that if you need to roll roll on and you can watch this
on video maybe on CHTV or something but uh tonight I am representing the Rockets of Smoky Row Elementary School and I have the actual spirit stick right here from the
Rockets of Smoky Row so I wanted to make sure that uh you can kind of take that around a bit but uh wanted to be a big shout out to Rockettown leaders principal Llaya J assistant principal Emily Super Gan and
their soontobe Dr jay and Dr super Gan because both are finishing their doctoral degrees and also as well I want to do a shout out for their amazing staff supportive engaged parents and of course their incredible students and finally Jim Dandy reminded me when I dropped him up at home this afternoon
that uh we should also do a shout out for Max their the school therapy dog who's a very good dog and super cool and is making a positive difference at Smoky Row so Caramel Clap for the Rockets of Smoky Row Elementary very well done i wanted to
share that uh the Carmel High School World Winter Guard um won coming off of their recent Indiana State Championship uh they did three incredible performances at the Winter Guard World Championships and that was held over
spring break and they finished as the silver medalist in the in the world it's the 13th time in the for last 14 years that they meddled at at the World Championship so uh their production was called Hush and it used Eric Whitacre's
coral setting of the children's book Goodn Night Moon so I don't know about you but I read Good Night Moon to my three kids about 1 million times and uh it was musically just fantastic um it's u been posted on social media there's a
link to it and if you want to be inspired and have your heart full watch the performance of our world winter guard it is just amazing thing so congratulations on that incredible performance uh also wanted to share that the Carmel High School Science Olympiad
placed first in the state qualifying for the national tournament that will be held at the University of Nebraska this year in Lincoln uh the team placed first in 11 categories and here's some of the categories electric vehicles robot tour
wind power diesel detectives i think I even have some more but just crazy different pieces we also had um four PE four we were second in four events and we had four third place finishers in all these various
categories so there were six different categories and we had kids in each one of them and when they added it all up we were the we were the state champs so very proud of our super science kids and uh and then so what a wide variety of science that they were so successful in and we already heard tonight the tech
hounds won state championship so watch out world the tech hounds are on their way and uh so I wanted to let just do a shout out for them uh my next item is not quite as much fun um because I wanted to share a legislative update
kind of hot off the press um so the two more most important bills impacting uh Karmically schools is the school funding bill and then the proper tech property tax relief bill and that property tax relief bill ended up being a mashup of
Senate Bill one of House Bill 1402 which were both tax property bills and then uh they matched in another bill that was Senate Bill 518 that addresses referendum fund sharing for with for public schools to share funds with
charter schools um now the final budget um was not very favorable in its current iteration to karmic clay schools mr mcichel provided an analysis of the impact on Carl Clay schools appreciate that Roger so after you take textbook
rental and materials money out of the total funding that Carmel Clay will receive and if you use our actual enrollment numbers we estimate that we're going to receive 2.3% in additional funds um 1.1% of additional funds uh for the next
year in 2006 and 2007 uh the previous version of the bill we we were going to get 2.5 each year a total of 5% so it actually went uh it got worse uh with this funding we would most likely um I won't know I won't say most likely
possibly we'll be able to cover insurance increases and possibly the incremental pay that our teachers get but as far as a percentage raise for everybody it's it would be we could wouldn't be able to fund it through that through that amount uh we do have a
chance that if our referendum fund increases like up to 4% increase we could maybe offer 1% raise so right now in its current iteration uh that's that's pretty uh it's just not favorable to us and a lot of districts are going
to have a difficult time making that work to get any kind of meaningful raise for for staff um which is really tough when we look at a teacher shortage uh and really non-certified shortage as well uh so that's a tough one uh the most recent
property tax bill and this is all based on the information we received so doc Roger hasn't had a chance to to go through and see the specific impact at Carmel Clay Schools but what I was uh told was that um we will receive small
gains in property tax so it' be 1% in 2026 which is about a million dollars and some change um and that is $5,351,800 less than what we would have received under the current law in 2027 we would receive a 2.3%
uh increase which is about $2.3 million and that is $8,244,240 less than we would have received in with the current law that we have right now uh in 2028 we would receive 1.8% 8% or about $2 million
which is um 11,686,170 less than we would have received under the current law so overall over the three years uh and this would be potential funding we would lose $22,229,65 of potential funding by from PRA property taxes over the next three
years now all of these estimates are based off of the Legislative Service Agency LSA and they are a nonpartisan service that tries to do all the does all the runs to try to determine what the law as written uh what the actual
impact will be moneywise so again that is just what we've been told we have not had the time to really match you know to do that specific to our you know to our school district uh but it's uh it's going to be difficult uh if if and that
actually the property tax bill was uh passed by the Senate and was signed by the governor today I believe so that one is done in the funding formula we'll have to find out how that goes so that was uh kind of the the good news bad news of my report uh but I do have a
bell ringer and my bell ringer is two observations and uh we have not met since uh before spring break and uh we had a big big storm on Wednesday night before uh the last day of school before break and when I got back I observed the
cleanup from the damages uh from the April 2nd tornado and high winds that hit our neighborhoods really in a pretty straight diagonal line uh from the south border of Carmela to the the northeast and uh and it's a pretty defined just
line of damage and and how miracle it was just a miracle that no one was hurt in in any of that uh it was also incredible the way the city helped those who are affected by cleaning setting up cleanup to help them clean up their their properties and just all the help
that they gave along with what neighbors and friends did too um as I drove around our schools that night of the storm it was amazing to see our schools were powered up and ready to go on regular time the next day uh so I really appreciate the work of the city i'm
proud of our team that was out Wednesday night evaluating every school transportation was monitoring the roads that were some were closed uh facilities was monitoring power outages uh they were also out late at night cleaning up sidewalks and getting broken trees out
of the way particular Mohawk Trails had the biggest hit for us uh when I drove up to Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mo Mohawk Trails with all these trees broken and a light pole was actually down back behind where the u um you know where the playground
is the light was on uh so the the power never went out at Moawk Trails and so uh it was really really you know I really appreciate all of our team and they didn't stop until they had the sidewalks cleared um and it was just uh the
collaboration with the city second to none and the way we work with our with our team and their teams is just something special uh back there we got Lieutenant back there him and he and I were talking all about all night long running back and forth to all the
different schools and the driving rain to try to figure out if we were going to be able to have school the next day and we did so that was observation number one observation number two is um was to see as many schoolboard members that we had attend the National School Board Association Conference and you know it
was mentioned tonight I think that it's it's kind of a a culture in Caramel Clay Schools to be the best at getting better and the National Conference is a great way to learn and grow as a school board member as well as taking the opportunity to meet and see what we have in common with board members across the the country and uh so I want to thank you
for taking the time to go to that and your desire to grow as board members and as a team and uh I was able to attend with with the board and uh it was some good quality u experiences i know you're going to be reporting on that probably at the next board meeting and uh also uh
it really does kind of take you out of your bubble uh one uh wanted to share one little story is I was in one uh of the workshops and uh a lady stood up and she was the uh schoolboard member from a Indian reservation I believe in Arizona
and uh and talking about what the way they operate and the challenges they have and uh and I thought wow that is absolutely amazing and those are the kind of stories you get when you are able to go to those kind of opportunities to learn and grow so so I thought that was pretty special and that
is the rest of the story and ends my report thank you thank you so much may I have a motion to adjurnn i move to adjourn thank you may I have a second thank you meeting adjourned
