17
00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:42.640
uh Mr. Turman. Um, I still have some concerns, but I'm I'm I'm pleased and I give the administration credit um for attaching numbers to the uh general fund, the transfers, which we have never done in the past. Um, but that would be helpful.

00:10:42.640 --> 00:10:58.720
um would like to see if we can work on uniformity of of invoices and there's some there's some accounting I'd like to look into with food, but for the most part uh there was only two uh charter school invoices, so I think

19
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:13.920

28
00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:41.839
to these locations and then also Mountain View is an example where we actually were able to move the kindergarten students back to their home school. So we just need to go uh make sure we get this approved and then have PTE have the correct correct configuration of each of the buildings. >> May I have a motion to approve the

29

37
00:15:50.480 --> 00:16:07.279
alternate delegate is replacing Joel Bookimer. Uh I'm the primary delegate. Uh this way Jill can go in my absence and vote on anything that comes up at the count at the collection committee. It's the committee meets quarterly. >> What what would come up? I mean, it doesn't look like a dazzling, intriguing

38
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:22.880
assignment. >> Um, it is and and that's why I almost I stopped myself. That's why um she'll attend because she's local. >> Um and so that way it's easier for her to attend than me. Um so she's the alternate delegate. That way she can attend. >> What would they vote on? I'm just

39
00:16:22.880 --> 00:16:38.720
>> they vote like to probably the most important thing they would vote on would be keep keeping Keystone collection um as the collecting agency for the it probably be the most important thing. >> Um but other than that it's not you know

40
00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:55.839
>> may I have a motion to >> move. >> Thank you. Motion. Is there a second? >> Second. >> Second. >> Thank you. >> Any additional questions or comments? >> All those in favor signify by saying I. >> I. opposed. Item 8008, letter of commitment high

41
00:16:55.839 --> 00:17:14.000
schools technical education centers. Mr. Turman, >> the administration recommending approval of the letter of commitment with unlimited construction solutions for the design and development of the technical education centers at East High and also Central Dolphin High School in the amount of $230,000, $280, $230,280.

42
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:30.799
This project will provide for additional space at each high school for our tech classes as well as supporting our new construction technology course. This project will also convert the existing tech spaces back into usable classroom space to help ease capacity issues. This was reviewed at the May 14th, 2026

43
00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:46.080
building and grounds committee meeting and the May 26, 2026 board meeting. This item will appear on the June 23rd, 2026 board meeting agenda for approval. I just want to say if you the the uh graduation at least for CD it was probably a record number of kids are

44
00:17:46.080 --> 00:18:02.480
going into the trades you know versus going right to college and kind of fun on the way through there. So this is really meeting the students and what's happening in the district now ahead of things and not a lot of other people are doing this. So I appreciate Howard bringing this up and this is a great idea because this is really needed and uh we only use half our spot or only

45
00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:18.480
half our kids get into you know Dolphin County Tech. So this is a really big thing. >> Yeah, I agree. We we've discussed this. There's a lot of talk about bringing we need two votes for every high school and this is a you know and no one's really done anything about it and uh this is a step in the right direction as far as

46
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:33.919
I'm concerned. Would I love to have three more votes in Dolphin County? Yes. But that's not going to happen. This is going to happen and it's and it's a good direction to go in. I think the other the other thing to point out is that this is another example just like uh full day kindergarten where there's a

47
00:18:33.919 --> 00:18:49.760
there's a duality of positive result right with full day kindergarten um we have a space issue at our elementary schools and we were also lacking uh full day kindergarten we solved both um by implementing full day kindergarten pulling kindergartens out into the

48
00:18:49.760 --> 00:19:05.840
kindergarten academy centers um so it solves two issues this again solves two issues to your point Jeff the the lack of um the ability of our kids to get into Dolphin C Tech and and the expansion of the ability of these types of classes and this type of curriculum

49
00:19:05.840 --> 00:19:21.039
for our students. At the same time, we're freeing up classroom space that we can then repurpose into additional academic space which is sorely needed particularly at Central Dolphin High School. So, it's a it's a it's a double win um just like full day. And

50
00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:37.760
>> and to throw in, did we say the cost was is incredible. I mean, >> compared to build these buildings compared to building a new building is just an incredible savings. So, >> yep. So, appreciate it, Howard. Thank you. >> Again, this item will appear on the next meeting for approval. Item 8009, job

51
00:19:37.760 --> 00:19:53.520
description revisions. >> The administration is recommending approval of the director of communications and community engagement job description. This item was reviewed at the May 27th, 2026 personnel committee meeting. This item will appear on the June 23rd, 2026 board agenda for

52
00:19:53.520 --> 00:20:08.000
approval. Uh this was the last job description uh that we needed to kind of revamp to kind of align the district and align everyone in terms of the lane that they'll be in. Um so this will be the last person that we will bring forward at this point uh with looking at

53
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:27.360
revamping a job description. >> Okay. Item 810, first reading of board policies. Mr. determined. >> The administration is recommending the first reading of the 100 section of board policies and the retirement of board policy number 209.1 headlines.

54
00:20:27.360 --> 00:20:43.679
This these items were reviewed at the May 27th, 2026 policy committee meeting. This item will appear on the June 23rd, 2026 board agenda for approval. Um we have been tasked with looking through all the policies to get them updated. Um took us probably a good month and a half

55
00:20:43.679 --> 00:20:59.600
uh to get the 100 series, but we now have the 100 series up to date. Um so they will be hopefully approved on June 23rd and then the administration can start it focus on the 200 series as we continue through getting all of our policies up to date.

56
00:20:59.600 --> 00:21:16.320
>> I was not consulted on the headlights thing. There's probably a reason. >> No, we actually had a thorough discussion on that. >> We did have a discussion on that >> and thank you for not reading all the policies. You're You're welcome. >> I think it was lice and uh ringorm.

57
00:21:16.320 --> 00:21:32.320
>> Item 8.11, student code of conduct. Mr. Turner, >> the administration has recommend approval of the student code of conduct for the 2627 school year. This item was reviewed at the May 27th, 2026 academic committee meeting. This item will appear on the June 23rd, 2026 board agenda for

58
00:21:32.320 --> 00:21:49.039
approval. Uh we did send all the board members the changes that we made from last school last school year to this year. I think we set those on Friday of last week. So, you can see the changes in the code of conduct book. Um, our goal is once this is approved on the 23rd is to get this out to all families

59
00:21:49.039 --> 00:22:04.559
across the district so they have the code of conduct well before the start of the school year. >> Yeah. I would just want to point out to those reviewing the the the student code of conduct, it includes obviously the new cell phone um policy, the bell-to-bell policy. Correct. um which

60
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:20.000
uh outlines what the policy is as well as the ramifications for violations of the policy. I know that was one of the major um changes that were that was uh inserted into the code. >> I did want to make a comment because I want the rest of the board I wanted the

61
00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:37.360
rest of the board to to look into it. I have a problem with an item in level one offense and level two offense. There's an item and I don't know the specific verbiage, but it's about um level one offense is um throwing something uh with

62
00:22:37.360 --> 00:22:54.320
the attempt to possibly injure somebody. Uh and then the level two offense was phone usage. I think those need to be swapped. Like if they're caught using their phone, it automatically goes to level two. I think that's a little excessive. Um I think those two need to

63
00:22:54.320 --> 00:23:09.600
be reversed, but that's my opinion. And um I guess I'll send that. >> Yeah. Can you send that to me tomorrow? Yeah, I can. I can. I just This prompted me to think about that after I read it. >> I sure will.

64
00:23:09.600 --> 00:23:24.559
>> Okay. Item 8.12, dual enrollment course at both high schools. Mr. Chairman, >> the administration recommending approval of the effective speech college and the high school course at both high schools. This item will approve was reviewed at the May 27th, 2026 academic committee meeting. This item will appear on the

65
00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:42.240
June 23rd, 2026 portage for approval. Um what we the district received a $250,000 grant from Penn State and I'm sorry from PTE. We are partnering with Penn State. Um and with that grant uh we are going to be doing a one college course at both high schools. A student's junior year.

66
00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:57.440
Also their junior year they will be taking one course at Penn State. Um one of the courses at the high school we needed to change it from a half half credit to a full credit. So now effective speech in the college and high school course just for these students who are in the grant it will now be a

67
00:23:57.440 --> 00:24:16.159
full credit for next the next calendar year >> that will count towards their >> count correct >> awesome sorry that'll count towards their college credits. >> That's that's accurate. >> Okay that's awesome. >> Just a reminder. Um okay moving to item

68
00:24:16.159 --> 00:24:33.039
8.13 approval of a prek program. I just wanted to note a language change in uh the administration's recommendation. Um we will be moving this to um a vote for today. Um and Mr. Chairman can walk through the explanation. >> Yep. The administration is recommending

69
00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:49.679
approval of the prek program at Chambers Hill and Southside Elementary School. The item will appear on the June 23rd. I'm sorry, it won't. There's a B vote today. So, um let me give you a little background on this. Um the district was fortunate enough to have the capital area intermediate unit um approach us

70
00:24:49.679 --> 00:25:05.279
about the possibility of doing prek in our schools. Um we now have the ability because of going with the kindergarten centers and we now have room where we actually now can move forward with prek for next school year. So we're going to have two classrooms. Two will be at

71
00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:21.760
Chambers Hill, two will be at Southside. Um the goal by approving this tonight is now they can now tomorrow start to recruit students um in the pre-K program for next school year. So um we want to move forward and have the the capital area have an opportunity to really go

72
00:25:21.760 --> 00:25:37.440
out in both communities and go out in the district and really start recruitment efforts so we can get kids in school earlier. Um it'll be a very this is a phenomenal opportunity for us. Um the cost to the district will be there's no cost to the district at all. Um and you know we are going to have an

73
00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:53.840
opportunity to get the the neediest students who need to be ready for kindergarten now in school um at the age of three or four. So uh this is just an exciting opportunity for the district. >> And can you explain that kids aren't locked in just Rutherford kids and

74
00:25:53.840 --> 00:26:08.960
>> correct it'll be students across the district. >> So anyone can participate in this. >> Correct. Anyone that's a Central Dolphin >> student it'll be kind of tiered based on need. Um, so you know, there's a process for that in terms of how they have there'll be a waiting list and and so

75
00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:24.480
forth. Um, so you know, I would probably make an assumption that, you know, even though we're only talking about 50 kids, you may have 100 to 150 kids, parents who are eligible and who apply and then they're just going to have to have a system where they figure out who the neediest students are who actually get

76
00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:40.960
in. Okay. >> May I have a motion to approve the recommendation? >> Is there a second? Thank you. Any additional questions or comments? All those in favor signify by saying I. >> I. >> I.

77
00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:58.400
>> Opposed. >> Item 8.14, diesel fuel delivery. Mr. Bard, the administration is recommending approval of Button Energy to deliver gasoline and diesel fuel for the district. The price will be at rack pricing and delivery cost will be at the

78
00:26:58.400 --> 00:27:14.799
pricing in the contract for the 2627 school year. The contract was reviewed by the solicitor. This item will appear on the June 23rd, 2026 board agenda for approval. So, what rack pricing is is the pricing at the uh distribution point for where Button Energy picks up the

79
00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:29.520
diesel fuel and the gasoline price. The reason why it's not mentioned in the contract is because diesel and gasoline prices are very volatile. Um, they go up, they go down, they go up, they go down. It's not a it's not feasible for us to lock in a price at this point

80
00:27:29.520 --> 00:27:47.200
because of of so of economical uh issues going on in the Middle East and as well as other places. So it is viable for us just to play it up uh as it goes along if it becomes viable for us to lock in a price. This contract allows us to lock in a price. Um the delivery costs you

81
00:27:47.200 --> 00:28:02.480
see in there are the cost it cost button for us to deliver the the fuel to the district um at its uh terminal location and it should be noted that we pay for the fuel um that Christ uses to fuel our

82
00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:18.559
vehicles. >> I think we had talked about also looking am I missed it at aggregate purchasing uh down the road? >> Correct. Yes. So in 2728 we're going to look at getting into a uh uh consortium based fuel price whether it's um with

83
00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:35.600
the IU in Chester County or with the IU in Montgomery County. Our capital area IU doesn't really do anything like that although I will talk to them about it to see if there's interest. >> Um but I think um doing it with one of those bigger groups will get us into a um a basis to purchase a lot of fuel.

00:28:35.600 --> 00:28:51.679
purchase roughly between 250,000 and 300,000 gallons worth of diesel fuel and about 50,000 to 75,000 gallons worth of unleted uh 87 octane. Um so I think we are a a pretty big purchaser. So I think that will lead us into um while we can't

00:28:51.679 --> 00:29:08.480
do it on ourselves and be that way. I also we also surveyed by the way um about several different uh vendors before landing on buttons and I have I have the results to to back it upon request.

reports. Are there any? >> I think we're done with committees for this year, are we? >> Well, that's committees, but I just like we all attended the graduations and and the kids were wonderful. And it was uh great weather for both, which is unusual. >> Asked for better weather. >> Yeah. And it was just the the kids were

99
00:32:39.519 --> 00:32:55.279
very well behaved. It was very well done, very well organized. So, thank you to the people who organized it. Um just a great job. Proud to be there. Proud to stand up there with everybody else. >> Yep. It was amazing. And and I just want to give uh kudos to the leadership team at Central Dolphin East High School for

100
00:32:55.279 --> 00:33:18.080
their first graduation. Um they did a great job. >> To 8.19 board committee reports. Are there any hearing? None. Moving to item 8.20. Sympathy resolutions. Mr. Chairman. >> Sympathies are extended to the family of Cindy Wartz, a former teacher on her

101
00:33:18.080 --> 00:33:33.519

102
00:33:33.519 --> 00:33:48.000
Nisley, par profofessional at East High School, on the passing of her mother, Georgian Nissley. Sympathies are extended to the family of Lane Harp, former cafeteria manager at Pexonia Elementary School. On her passing, I would just like to make um a remark on

103
00:33:48.000 --> 00:34:04.559
Mrs. Wartz as uh somebody who had two kids that went through West Tanner Elementary as well as one who took piano lessons from Mrs. Wartz once she was retired. Um she was an amazing lady um who really cared about kids and was um

104
00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:21.200
obviously will be very sorely missed. She was great. >> I just had a question on this. If somebody thinks there is a person that should be recognized, what is the process? >> In other words, >> usually it's uh reaching out either it's somebody on the in the admin or the

105
00:34:21.200 --> 00:34:37.119
school board that you know receives the notification or somebody contacting Miss McConnell. But Kim is you're the one who assembles this, right? >> Just uh Dick Mccoral. I worked with Dick and he was a very dedicated uh educator,

106
00:34:37.119 --> 00:34:53.440
special education. And just uh humorous memory is he was a big motorcycle rider, but he was also a safety nut. So he would have, you know, the typical bicycle fiberglass flag that you would put on a little spider. He would have one of those on his motorcycle so

107
00:34:53.440 --> 00:35:07.920
everybody could see him. But he he was he was a great guy. He'll be missed. >> Moving to as we revise the agenda to item 8.21, which is the former 802. It is a resignation of a current

108
00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:23.920
schoolboard member. And the board is recommending acceptance of the resignation letter of Mr. David Dornan, school board member region 3, effective at the conclusion of this meeting. Um before we get into speeches, um may have

109
00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:39.520
a motion to approve the recommendation. >> So moved. >> Second. >> Is there a second? >> Uh any pro uh questions or comments? >> You don't have to say so. I just want to try to get through this one, but uh I want to thank the uh the voters for

110
00:35:39.520 --> 00:35:55.440
trusting me. I think we've done amazing stuff over the last couple years. Uh we've had a new admin revamped. um capacity issues are solved which is unbelievable. I don't think we could come close to where we are. Um we're we're going quick. We got technology, we

111
00:35:55.440 --> 00:36:11.680
have the text that we're doing, all kinds of amazing things. So I would ask the teachers and staff, I know some of this changes are like, "Oh my gosh, things are changing that they the the admin cares. They listen to you. They're adapting fast. Sometimes it's uncomfortable, but change is uncomfortable." And that's okay. So I uh

112
00:36:11.680 --> 00:36:27.839
total confidence in the board, in the administration. I think we're on the right path. Uh the reason I'm resigning is I'm moving to Maryland. Um so otherwise I'd still be here. I still love this district and uh I thank you guys all for accepting me and working together. I think we've done some great things. >> Thanks. >> I'd like to make a comment. >> Go for it.

113
00:36:27.839 --> 00:36:42.640
>> I know you and I have not have not always seen eye to eye, >> Genie. >> But I'm not going to repeat that. But I just want to let you know that I truly appreciate the fact that we can agree to disagree and be respectful of each

114
00:36:42.640 --> 00:36:59.920
other. And that was something that is so sorely missed sometimes. So I really appreciate that and I respect that and it was a pleasure working with you even though we hit buted heads a lot. >> Other comments from board members,

115
00:36:59.920 --> 00:37:18.800
>> Dave, as I said in executive session, >> don't repeat that. >> I never liked you. Uh and I'm glad you're going. Um, so I I I think we have two radically uh different political philosophies, but I think this

116
00:37:18.800 --> 00:37:35.680
is an example how we work together in building and grounds and finance. You brought a lot of good uh perspective. Uh hopefully you'll be a resource for who's ever going to uh take on building and grounds. Uh because you covered you covered a lot there. Um and uh I wish

117
00:37:35.680 --> 00:37:52.079
you all the best. I mean uh you you'll be missed. You'll be hard to replace. Uh hopefully after the indictment, you know, you'll be able to come back. >> But thanks, man. Please stay in touch. >> Thank you. >> Other comments?

118
00:37:52.079 --> 00:38:09.200
>> I'd just like to offer um you know, as um a board member who also came to the board through an appointment process. Um it's not always the easiest situation to walk into a board um having not been elected. Um, and so we we shared that

119
00:38:09.200 --> 00:38:26.880
and and obviously we we both resided or he previously resided in West Hanover uh township. And um I got to say Dave um built credibility with this board. He built credibility with the administration. um his leadership um in the area of

120
00:38:26.880 --> 00:38:44.240
buildings and grounds um was really remarkable and he drove um our process around full day kindergarten um the building acquisitions. He was always uh prepared with enrollment information and

121
00:38:44.240 --> 00:39:00.640
data. um he was our go-to guy on data and using, you know, spreadsheets to be able to detail information that was incredibly important to conversations and decisions and votes um that were taking place on this board. And so Dave,

122
00:39:00.640 --> 00:39:15.440
you you are um you were an extraordinarily additive to this board. Um, and so your absence uh will certainly be felt and missed um as the conversation continues and as we go to um a lot of the things

123
00:39:15.440 --> 00:39:31.920
that you helped usher in um in the years to come, but we wish you and your family nothing but the best in Maryland. know your son's got a hell of a future. Um uh and which is why you're moving. Uh part of the reason you're moving and so we wish you guys nothing but the best and

124
00:39:31.920 --> 00:39:48.880
and you certainly will be missed, but um your time here was incredibly valuable. Um and we really appreciate all the time you put in to making this board and this district better. So thank you. >> You know, when I gave you all those documents over the last three years, I never expected they would be re returned

125
00:39:48.880 --> 00:40:03.760
in spades. So we'll go through them. Thanks for holding on to that stuff. Appreciate it. >> So, I would just before we vote, um um I would just note for the public's uh information that um with the resignation being effective today, uh the clock

126
00:40:03.760 --> 00:40:20.480
begins. We have a 30-day window to fill the vacancy created. And so, there will be a published announcement um for a process by which we will go about um soliciting interested individuals, submitting resumes um to the board secretary.

127
00:40:20.480 --> 00:40:36.640
Um and so the information will be coming out. We are planning to hold a special meeting on July 8th where this will be the only issue of the meeting. Um and so we will look to hopefully um sort through the candidates, interview the candidates, and hopefully make a

128
00:40:36.640 --> 00:40:51.920
selection on July 8th in Dave's favorite process of filling vacancies on the school board. So uh we have a we have a motion and do we have a motion? >> Motion. >> We have a we have a motion and a second. Um, all those in favor signify by saying I. >> I. >> I. I.

129
00:40:51.920 --> 00:41:05.000
>> Any opposed? I want to vote now. >> All right. You can leave now. >> Okay. Uh, may I have a motion to adjurnn? >> So move. >> Second. >> Second. >> Second. >> All those in favor? >> I. >> Meeting adjourn.
