I'd like to call the meeting to order. If everybody would stand with us and say the pledge of allegiance. Welcome, everyone. Do we have any comments on the agenda items? Okay. We'll get started. All right. Before we, take a lot of time to introduce, some outstanding, performance of our student athletes, which is the best part of our meetings. I do want to request one late addition to the board, and that is under, it's a contract from our police, chief with respect to some policy, assistance, and it,
would be placed under the consent agenda. So, you can vote on that when we get to that part of the agenda. And, without further ado, let's start with recognizing our White Lake Community High School c nine, central nine student of the month. We have three. So, I'm gonna come around, and if they are here, please come on down and I'll give you a certificate. Emily Conlon, And if I mispronounce your name, I apologize. Anmol Sanai, Tristan Triplett.

I'm not sure if they're here. Brodie Pozel, Josie Kelsey, Sam Cribbs, Addison Cox.
So I see two gentlemen right here. Yeah. So this is National Landscape CDE team. So this is National Convention in October. My team made it through one state, and then we did, various landscape things. So, NFA chapter can achieve, only a few people from the state of Indiana get
it. It's it's really it's awesome to get, but it's we have a lot of community service events. We put in a lot of time with our community and farmers in Johnson County, helping as much as we could, and we were rewarded for all the good work in Johnson County we did. Also, the four American degree recipients is really it's really kinda crazy that we had four in one year. It's the highest, the highest, honored FA member. Highest degree that they can receive. Only one member but 1% of members achieve it. And all of our twenty twenty four graduates being Brodie Quissell, Josie Kelsey, Ken Krebs,
and Addison Thomas. Thank you. Okay. Next, we are gonna recognize our high school cross country athletes with, our girls and our boys. Without me saying it or ruining it, I know coach Scotty Kern is here. Coach, would you come on down, please? Okay. No. I'm just kidding. Our boys and our girls both had a really great season this year. Going through the the big important meets are, at county. Our boys got third, our girls got second. At conference, our girls won, our boys got second. We have one individual, boy on it, Colton Watson won as an individual.
And then we took four people to the state meet, Next, we wanna recognize, some

So come on down. You do an outstanding job with our girls soccer, program. Please tell us a little bit about this season, what makes it so special, and then we'll call him down.
Well, it's kind of a magic ride this year. We have been talking about getting better every year and just improving and improving and the spirit just embraced it, enjoyed the journey, kept it moving. I couldn't be proud of a group of kids. I mean, they just busted every time they're out there. Nobody works harder than they do. They care about each other. Our chemistry's off the charts. So I'm just fortunate I get to coach them. Like, it's Joseph.
For this picture, can you guys all? I'm a I'll I'll scoot up our promise. Alright. We still have somebody else. We still got another one to get to work. Okay. You can look there first, and you can look over to me afterwards. K. Now this direction. Perfect. Thanks, guys. They might have been Cassie, they might be. So we got some more girls soccer to recognize. Don't leave yet. All State Masatore. Come on, yes. She's still there. Yes. I can. Okay. Ready? Everyone looking now? Perfect. Alright. One more group to recognize and that is our Unified Black Football team.
And they are also we do wanna recognize one more outstanding employee.
That's our assistant AD. I don't know if this is the case. Do you wanna say anything or not? Did you get recognized amongst his peers with the award called the Charles F. Moss Distinguished Service Award for District 4. He is officially gonna retire again this year and, he's not coming back. So, I've known him just a little bit, but he is an outstanding person. He's an outstanding, for this award, there's six districts in Indiana that we split our
athletic directors into. And each district chooses a Charles Moss winner. And this award is based on a a career of service in the in the, realm of high school athletics. And if you know mister Croix, there's no one in the state more, more deserving of this more than he is. He'll get to go to the state conference. They will actually pick a, quote, state winner, which I don't know how all that works. But, he's certainly deserving whether that happens or not. But in our district, it was overwhelming support. Probably should've got this award 10 more times.
But, congratulations to him. And and as we said, you know, at the last board meeting, he he he announced that this would be the last one. And so I I I'm so glad that he got the chance to get rep to to get this, this distinction. He certainly deserve it and has done the community very well and very well. I'm very proud of you. I was 31 years old. My daughter was starting first grade. My son was four and would fall asleep in the truck.
On the way over here, we were living in Lawrenceville. And now she's 37. Now Tucker, you're probably I've got a great son-in-law, a great daughter-in-law. And this doesn't happen without the support of everybody in our community. I mean, I I don't get to do this as long as I've got to do it. This is my forty first year without the support from great people.
And, particularly mister Edens, you know, it's it's great working with him. We'll have guys get back later. I gotta see. It's been I'm not a supervisor. I got a supervisor. It's been it has I tell coach Maggs, just need to win the ride. And and it certainly has been a, a great, great ride. And my supportive wife, and now it's gone. I'll be gone all the time. I coast. I taught. So mister Croix and mister Croix's family, we'll take some pictures out there. For the rest of you, thank you for coming. You're more than welcome to stay, but this is a good time to, obviously, do
some other things too that's a little more exciting if you want to. Thanks again for coming. All right. We're gonna move on, to the next section of our agenda, which is called the consent agenda. There are sections, a through h. Let me go through them, explain them, and then, seek your, cons, approval for as a consent item for all of them. Section a and b are executive session work session on November 17, along with c, which is the regular session on November 17. D is a special session.
These are all minutes, of course, for December 1. Then December 1 is minutes, for an executive session that we held. F is our, monthly fund revenue and claims report from our business office. G is our monthly personnel report. That is pretty standard. There is an amendment for, the superintendent's contract that could be also done as a consent item. There are three contracts, for consideration under h. Actually, I'm sorry. There are seven, including the new one that I said was a late addition. The the first one is an annual renewal of our local attorney, with mister Dustin
Huddleston. There's no increase in fee or language. Contracts two, three, four, and five are annual farm lease agreements with, Taylors, Dohertys, Trisslers, and and Sneps. Again, no changes in language or fees. And, we did tell them, hey, if, we were to sell any of that land, not that we have anything in the works, we would give them as much advance notice as possible. So the last one or no, the other two, number six is the annual renewal for conscious discipline in the amount of $54.20,
and that's professional development for, effective discipline strategies with our, behavioral students. And then the last contract is the one that I asked, for submitting as a late addition with respect to, Chief, you're here. You wanna share that real quick? It's with policy It's with a company called Lexipol. Thank you. It's, yeah. It's, for management of policies, creating, putting our current policies against, court documents, new, state
codes. It does historical facts for us. It, basically, it improves all the policy and takes a whole lot of the, the study and piece away from me and puts it in the hands of some lawyers that do this for a living for law enforcement. And it is in the amount of 6,000, which is actually a 50% discount if we would get it to them, prior to January 1, which is an excellent deal. And I appreciate you bringing that to my attention today. Yeah. I've I've been looking at this company for the last three years. I could not get the price below 14,000. So for this price, this is this is why I kinda asked to jump on
it now. So thank you. Thank you, chief. So my recommendation is to seek your approval for, items a through h as a consent item. I move that we approve all the items on the consent agenda. Second. Any other questions or concerns? All those in favor? Aye. Alright. Next is communications. Some more special recognition this time of our employees, and I'll turn it over to doctor Slosky. This is always, my favorite part of the meeting. And the reason is is that through the recognized excellence program, we get an opportunity
to highlight and see some of the things that, our talented staff members are doing and the impact that they're having on education and the families through the recommendations that they get. Each month, we do recognize a classified and certified employee. And, this month, I wanna start off with our certified employee from Pleasant Crossing Elementary, teacher, Samantha Warren. Our classified recognized excellence staff member comes from the central office, Carrie Muse.
Just me. Congratulations to Beau. Thank you for, your excellence and for representing us so well. I hear great things about, at least one of you, maybe not mismused now.

We started out with, contracts. We approved the clinical affiliation agreement that is a change from Otterbein that they've been
using to Greenwood Village South. We updated the agreement for Aviation Tech. We approved the school calendar from, for 2026 to 2027. And, this this year the c-nine calendar will be, one week of fall break, one week at Thanksgiving, which is a change from before. There was a discussion on how C9 fits in with the schools, and they're always
working towards viability. We did have three Whiteland Students of the Month and smart manufacturing in high schools to begin next year. We also discussed mock interviews that are going to be held in the spring and the possibility of board members participating in that. That's it. Alright. Thank you very much. Mister Beeson could not be here tonight, so we will not have a RDC report. Madam president, at this time, we'll, ask for you to adjourn a meeting so we can do a special public hearing.
We will adjourn the public meeting for the school board and open the public hearing for the, sale of real property. Thank you very much. My, explanation will be very quick and succinct. It is at, the corner of Wurstville and Collins Road. It's an eight acre plot. We own another thirty two thirty three. So, the, prospective buyer is Del Lago Ventures. Later on, in the new business is the purchase agreement, that will seek for your
approval and the, desires to install a racetrack convenience store and gas station. So at this time, if there's, any questions from the public, we would entertain those, and I'll wait a little bit. Alright. Seeing none, I'll turn it back over to you, madam president. Do we need a motion? To adjourn. Oh, just to adjourn or Adjourn the public hearing and then go back to the regular So we don't have to do anything. Right. Okay. That's under new business. Correct. So I move we adjourn the public.
Yes, sir. All those in favor? Aye. Aye. Aye. So the public hearing on the sale of the real estate is now adjourned, and we'll reopen our public meeting on the school board. Excellent. Thank you very much. So under old business, there are three policies from last month. There are no language changes. And just for the record, you've got the habitual truant policy, forty three twenty two, threshold for material loss shortage and theft policy, which is sixty one twenty.
Policy sixty one thirty, collection and forgiveness of debt. And that really, quick summary is that it just has got language, updates to align with statutory code. And, again, nothing changed from last month. I would say the, recommendation, but we talked about this last month with respect to the threshold for 6120, it should be set at 5,000, and that'll be in the, policy. I move we approve the policies presented. Second. Any comments or questions? I'm assuming we're approving all three at the one time.
Okay. All those in favor? Aye. Alright. Thank you. Now we have new business, and our CFO, mister Pendleton, will come forward. Yeah. A lot of donations this month, which is outstanding, and I'll turn it over to you, mister Pendleton. Alright. I will try and get through these as quickly as possible. The first one is Carol Rolfes to mister Rolfes' essential skills class field trip for $450. Gurwinder Singh to the food service department for student meal accounts for a $100. $50 from Andrew Scholzl to the food service department for student meal accounts, $200 from
Breaking Bread Apostolic Church to the food service department for student meal accounts, $50 from Gur Windersingh to the food service department for student meal accounts, $50 from Tracy Bryant to the food service department for student meal accounts, $50 from James Kirk to the high school athletics in memory of Patty Ford, $25 from Celeste Win Scott to the athletic department at the high school in memory of Patty Ford, $50 from Robin Bullock to the high school athletics in memory of Patty Ford, $250 from Ron Harrod to
the high school athletics in memory of Patty Ford, $300 from the forty and eight one hundred and forty five Voyager local to the Christmas Angels Fund, dollars 2,500 from prior CNC Inc. To the Christmas Angels Fund, and $2,250 from Skinny Dog Graphics to the Christmas angels fund. Do you have a motion to approve the donation? I made a motion to approve all donations as read. Second. All those in favor? Aye. Alright. Next item of business is, a transfer of funds.
I think there's one item. Mr Pennington. There is a request to transfer $6,076.11 from the Grassy Creek ECA candle fundraiser account to the Grassy Creek Corporation account. I move we approve the transfer of funds presented. Second. All those in favor? Aye. Aye. Next is, a request from doctor Shalosky, and it's really an annual, $500 stipend, excuse me, that we use in the spring semester for recruitment of new teachers. Anything to add to that, doctor Shlofsky?
That's accurate. It's been a really successful program, and you guys have, approved it for over a decade. Second. All those in favor? Aye. Next item is d, consideration of a resolution authorizing litigation against social media companies. The explanation here is, to join, approximately 70 other Indiana school corporations in a lawsuit against some of the larger social media companies throughout our company or throughout our company
throughout our nation, that will be litigated by, a law firm called Wagstaff and and Cartmell. And so there is no cost at all to us. We reached out, asked if there was interest, and and there is interest on our part to, obviously, make sure that there is stronger, more accurate, education, for our youth and adolescent with, being able to understand how to use social media correctly. And I'll just stop right there before I would get on my soapbox.
I move we approve the resolution authorizing the litigation against social media companies. Any questions, comments? All those in favor? Aye. Thank you very much. Next item is one out of state field trip, for our high school girls wrestling team to Findlay, Ohio, which, by the way, our girls wrestling team is ranked number one in the state. And to go to Ohio, which is an awesome Ohio or a wrestling state to compete, it's pretty amazing and outstanding for their ability to to compete against some amazing
competition, I'm sure. So that will be December. I make a motion to approve the, field trip. Second. All those in favor? Aye. Alright. F is with respect to the purchase agreement and a resolution for selling, the eight acres that I mentioned in the public hearing located at 2610 East Wurzville Road, Greenwood, Indiana. And it would be to Del Lago Ventures. The purchase agreement amount is for $2,245,360.82.
Are you waiting for a motion? Yes. Do I have a motion to approve the resolution and the purchase agreement? I move that we approve the sale of the real estate property on 4th Mill Road. Second. Any questions, concerns on that? All those in favor? Aye. I wanna thank our attorney and thank our broker who helped us, close this deal. Appreciate, appreciate you. Last item of business is, again, a resolution and a purchase agreement, that, is unique in that it's with another public entity, Johnson County Rural Electric, otherwise known as JCREMC.
They would like to purchase, roughly two acres that is in the northwest corner of the property that we own, that is out by Clark Elementary. It's really even north, West Of The Rock Lane Bald Diamonds. So I've been working with their CEO, John Sturm, and they've even reconfigured it so they're taking a lot of that ditch area that's just unusable. They really need, approximately an acre to put a transformer there.
And and the purchase agreement price, which I thought was very fair, is in the amount of a $100,000. Oh, the other thing I would say is we would pay no more than 5,000 in closing costs, and John Sturm gave me estimates. So it's gonna be a couple 100 underneath that. I move we approve the resolution to approve the sale of real real property as and purchase agreement as presented. Any questions, comments? All those in favor? Aye. Thank you for, again, improving all that. Under superintendent's report, just two things real quick.
Just a reminder that our January board meeting is gonna be moved up a week. As far as normally, we meet the third Monday. It will be the second Monday, which would be January 12 at 7PM. And, we'll do all that, annual board reorganization stuff. Last thing I would say, and, it really just popped in my head as I was listening to donations. I appreciate all those who were who were involved in recognizing, and and helping the Patty Ford's family to have the viewing and funeral in our gym at Glen Ray.
It was well attended, and I know that, she meant to a lot of, meant a lot to a lot of people in this room. So, thank you for those who helped coordinate that. That's all I got tonight. Do we have any comments in general public comments? Seeing there are no public comments, I'd entertain a motion to adjourn. I need a motion to adjourn the meeting. Second. All those in favor? Aye. Motion or, meeting adjourns. It's just been a few years that I put it in the car, maybe the last two. Yeah. But I do that now. Great.
Thank you. Yeah. I appreciate that. Don't you know, I wouldn't wouldn't do that if I were you. Oh, goodness. I thought that could've actually I do owe you that Coke, and I'm going to get it next morning. What? I have been service. Yes. I did. I've got to get some on the I bet a Coke because I thought Ohio State would win. Yeah. I I tell you, you know, I I did that for a lot of years. Either way, if IU won, I was with if, you know, Ohio State did, I
