flag United States of America to the stands naice welcome everyone do we have anyon comments it like to yeah agenda item
is uh before and after care is that on the agenda I don't know is it not on there no is okay if you don't mind we would gladly okay that works yeah whatever
thank you okay okay consent agenda we got uh a few items so bear with me as we go through them first of all letter a is minutes for the executive session on January
13th B is the uh minutes from the regular board meeting also on January 13th C is a minutes from the executive session on uh February 7th D is the monthly uh fund revenue and claims report I'm going to pause for a
second because once I get through the rest of the items my recommendation will be to seek your approval for all of the consent agenda items except for the following and that would be in the fund revenue and claims
report the one claim for 84532 with be mechanical should be a separate vote and um when we get to that point I'll have two recommendations so to continue on E is
the cancellation of 2-year-old checks you see that comes from a variety of places and I'm not going to list all those but that's in your board packet f is the Personnel report uh we've got five re uh five retirements to recognize
um Bill Kovac at the high school uh as a science teacher Dana Griffin mtss coach at the high school Jennifer Torrance English teacher the Middle School Phil Martin maintenance supervisor in our Ops building Beth Rocky instructor coaches
instructional coach at Grassy ke Creek and Ray Crow uh some of them will take advantage of the rehire language from our CBA so um they'll still probably be visible at some point uh I also want to recognize Karen Robertson's uh
resonation letter um she has been a godsend to me even in my 16 months here she does things with Excellence she does a lot of work behind the scenes but she's ready to enter retirement with her husband and her family so wish are the absolute
best next is uh contracts there are four first one is with Duke Energy as a corporate rebate uh incentive program that we could participate in second one is a contract with policy analytics uh we've used them for several
years for a variety of um professional Finance services like uh with referendum dollars with property tax circuit breaker impact uh any legislative impact and uh this year's uh general assembly is um very very significant with all the
the budget cuts that are probably going to happen so this contract is an annual expense of 38,000 and um we have um great return on investment with their assistance in many of those areas that I just mentioned contract three is with Robert cappo for wastewater treatment
monitoring at Clark Elementary with Phil Martin's retirement we had no one to replace with proper license shirt uh this gentleman is local and will'll be willing to do it for a rate of 110 per hour for 5 hours per week for a total of 2200 per month that is a steal
um and plus we have to do it from IDM uh requirements and that's just out at Clark contract fours with elements Financial they're willing to sponsor our newly uh created teacher of the year and classified employee of the year program
and so they're going to cover all the costs which could um tally up to $3,000 but we truly are thankful and appreciative of their support and sponsorship for this this program to recognize some outstanding employees last item is disposal of some
Surplus so I'm recommending disposal of some old Auditorium equipment approximately 100 seats two large speakers one row of stage lighting and in that recommendation I would recommend um we would donate it to a local church who's
expressed interest Whiteland New Life Fellowship know that Pastor well um does a great job with that congregation so um he's excited to be able to use those seeds we were going to demolish them so let's put them to good use within our community that is it for consent agenda
so my first recommendation would be to approve items a through H as a consent item except for the one claim that I'll pull out that I mentioned for Beast can I'll make a recommendation separately but my first recommendation is what I
just said agenda as and I second questions conerns all those in favor all right uh next item is to uh recommend the approval of the claim item as I
mentioned for $845 32.50 from brie mck that is to take care of the chiller I believe we're say that um at Grassy Creek right that's right sorry the chiller for Beast
mechanical that's right the 84,000 was The Chiller at um Grassy Creek thank you do we are we looking for a motion to approve so done

[Music] isway AD involed what we found part with an educator in St Louis Missi High School very simar SCH District kind [Music] ient started
navul got and we launch insun year truly curriculum Toom assments it's kid two years ago scholarship that were
not University of Oklahoma Unity of Arkansas different places [Music] what's your warranty the best in the bu that was important to me single component on the is warrant adru
so have years a 11 is there an incentive for referral like if we like you it's a good product talk about that yeah so we had a really good conversation so three years ago so if you think about our company for a second
we kind of came out of little small year one we did one project almost 11 years ago year two we did n and then it kind of blew up and it was did we set up and the way that works we found is our best sales people are honestly
our we service theck out of them they app it and that can be taken inet of way some schools take it to general f Department also the labor R if you have to come back
after the warrant's out yeah it's a great question so generally speaking it's about $13 most it or comp look at option number one and option number two two or three years ago there
was a lot of fear en running a high faure rate running one of Reas came Austin for a coule Reas to do at the
same Curr us hist comp comp you have re te you put on that boardr got a school in Aransas
ared ads gr we did footb ad build I would say generally speaking we're seeing was
kind it just kind ofes most bus so what's your I know they've improved aill but I mean it's not like it's just that's the only concern just because I'm
like the guy the Billboards and the old modules drag them up here and change aund of them and one lightning strike and half the board's down and I really apprciate the question so here's techology early days
2 years to your point and they were bu our currenty weed our febru 2022 top andot what mod
modils whatever [Music] of problem [Music] just Florida H tornado and US
ofer of dep Main all um you if we were to get a purchase order from the scho the next week or so our guarantee isru Lo [Laughter]
thank you got a couple of questions um and part of this is for for not only you guys but for you cost I want to go that over that again there is no tax dollars
going into this it's money that we've already got here and it's from bonds that we have that must be spent athletically so this is no cost to our taxpayers at this point of time correct okay well I know the community and they're
going to tell us that this is coming out of tax dollars I just want to make sure this is um you know done second thing operation David I'm assuming we will teach some of our kids through you know some of our classes how to operate this
board or how are we going to learn how to operate this board that's what I'm getting at do we'll get it going you know would the classes that Lucas Cory teaches too
yes and our kids through the curricular is going to be able to you know advance in colleges and things like this this is you know so I'm saying that this is as much curricular as it is athletic okay and maintenance I you
know I've sat in David's seat a little bit and so at 2 o'clock in the afternoon the timer time is not working where's your where's your maintenance person coming from or can
you fix that from wherever they called 1:00 Nationwide comp electricians sign compies all those typ T of and with this board we have a former football coaches our superintendent and
I think he would agree with me the most important thing on there is the time and is there you know when we went through this at one time there was a delay Factor you know do we have any delay factors in this in this I know
it's wired correct 100% so there is no DeLay So the old days [Music] used sing so this will happen when we cut that cable after you've laid it in there how long is it going to take you to repair
that cable so we can get the board pointand F running well and you can see what we're doing around here right now that's and it would it won't be the first time we've ever cut the football scoreboard cable once again I mean I think in my
hisory one time stents in the reason I question that you know I'm not really questioning we've went the other way you know we've went Wireless to most of our scoreboards so that when
we you can't cut them people would you that's that's a later question are we waiting for a recommendation yes I move that we byy the soccer scoreboard and option number
two for the football Board second second all thank you gentlemen for coming tonight you said that was 20,000 less tonight right what I heard is were going to gr I did hear that yes yeah you know
when graduation is May yes Aus I see you all right next um on the agenda is recommendation for employment for our new uh director of facilities Dr schi yes we came to you uh previously to
ask for this new position uh we've got a lot of things going on school corporation as as main ground construction and all that and so ited so move uh John will we be replacing his
position in okay yes because in a way right okay go ahead next item okay I've got the next item we conducted some research
on technology department took our techology back en Department that research survey manyan at that and and I I just add this I remember you
know when I first came on you know uh you as a board wanted us to transition to hire more employees of our own instead of using ninestar which we've done so that requires more responsibility of supervision duties and and just um making sure that that
department is doing what they need to do each and every day and Brandon does that he does a great job showing leadership so appreciate that I move we approve the salary in for the director of Technology second all right thank you Dr Sosi next
item is G and it's one field trip out of state and overnight for our upcoming girls varsity tennis season it is a tournament in Danville Illinois April 25th and 26 in favor
I a is this going to be a mini bus or a big bus has to be a mini whatever says on the application it's an activity bus though is what it's requesting and I thought that it had to be an activity bus anyway because it's out of state they got 15
listed up here as 12 students and three adults got 14 right we'll find out make sure it's underneath there appropriate y thank you all right next item is uh kind of
the final opportunity to close up um some work we've done probably in the last 10 months um I know it dates back to probably early spring of 24 where we work through the proper
colors of our Corporation the blue and white um the font uh so that's not this because You' all already approved all that um The W and the warrior head all that stays um as what's been approved and probably couple months ago if I my
memory serves me correctly back in November we did have um discussion um publicly about the corporation logo gave you some samples and uh just as a reminder if you look at the top left and bottom
right that's kind of what um we've heard as maybe the two final um top choices doesn't mean you can change your mind and and like the the other two but um what we're seeking tonight is
obviously your approval to um again close up a corporation logo so that we can then move on to the next phase which is there's a marketing vi video that um Derek wolf is ready to push out that will promote what we've done with our
marketing with our colors with our logos and then have a lot more conversations with not just our buildings but with our vendors of this is what we want this is what we expect changing of letter heads changing of things over time whether
it's that right behind you or whatnot um that that will be again a a transition phase so with that being said I open it up to any questions before hearing a recommendation and if you don't like any of that we can take it back to the
drawing board we do have dererk here for any questions we have um our ad uh there he is David also for any questions that helped lead a lot of the committee work from last year to where we're at so you said the top left and the
bottom right orious yes I'm still good bottom right age I agree too well we could have a unanimous decision here well then I would entertain uh
obviously um you know our recommendation is is the same too or a motion a motion faor all thank you very much thank you for being here tonight Derek and we'll get ready to push out a nice video and Market
this all right next item is a resolution to support students uh that are from military families the purpose of this is it's the first required step from the dep Department of Education to be
considered in the fall uh and every fall they select um School corporations throughout the state and designate them as purple star schools so in my past we've we've been acknowledged and awarded this it is a great honor and
recognition uh to support our military families and our students that that come from military families so this is the first step then there's other criteria that our principles are ready to do several our principles are ready to jump all over this and see if we can go get
recognized in the fall by the approve resol support Second thank you very much uh letter J is consideration of advanced placement and dual credit teacher stien uh it
comes from Dr ship it's an annual recommendation there's no changes to it it's really just um an opportunity to compensate via I think a $1,000 stip in for AP and dual credit teachers that's
again um extra work extra education and you're you're teaching a lot tougher courses so um it's it's a noteworthy little stip in our our Teachers Association supports this too I've got a question what did what
does it cost a teacher to get this um type of um expertise I mean there's got to be a cost to it and I just need an approximate amount to teach AP is no cost but to
teach dual credit um I refer our teachers to the Department of Education Program so it's it's free if they go through that it's just time and effort other than that they can select a university to earn their Ms in their content area in order to be credential
to teach a door credit course so it can vary depending on the University you go through but the Department of Education here in Indiana offers free programming and is that two hours 15 hours 150 hours
what what would a teacher put in so it also depends on what courses they already have in their undergrad and what you can grandfather in plus the additional course work they would have to take and I'm heading with my questions is is $1,000 enough I mean I I
would say it's not enough but it's something to show our appreciation and it's also something I include in a grant every year for us to get approved to be able to offer them something and also don't forget I'm pretty certain in the CBA there's other incentives for those students who get a three or higher that
yes they can get compensated for But the teacher gets that or the students get that teacher teachers do and they have a chance to make a little more especially we have some AP courses where a lot of kids get three or higher yeah I I know
that we have because we have some really good people that do that and I want to keep it that way that's what what my whole process of this questioning is who okay I'd like to see us increase it next year if we could
we have a motion second Yeah question okay all those in favor I all right next item again is just an annual uh renewal required by the state and it's with transfer um student capacity based on our ability within the
buildings to House New Or Not house to to enroll new out of District transfer students that's not current and there's other uh criteria too that won't get into but it's just keeping it at 50 per grade level um it hasn't changed and
it's still doable and so um our recommendation is to seek your approval in that this area I move to accept uh next item is an easement with Duke Energy and um you see that document I
mean Sam's here if there's any questions it really pertains to over at sill Woods expansion right same and this contract's been reviewed by return to and changes have been made last item finally is M and it's
consideration of recommendation to purchase a one utility vehicle for our Police Department I know cheap price here to answer any questions uh the rationale and the purpose is to really use it at large sporting events and also for providing more effective supervision
before um the school day starts and at the end of the school day in our parking lots especially as our parking lots expand due to construction and um it's pretty much a utility type of vehicle and it will um again just just help with
a lot of police presence that is necessary and the funding for that or the paying for it is really going to come out of the school safety fund so that's not an annual budget issue but um appreciate the work Chief price has done on securing some quotes and we gave you
the best lowest quote here in the packet for our Police Department anything to add cheap price purchase ofic I all right thank you very much and I
have nothing under superintendent report so if still I dur op my bigest thing is I up got my off
so I could I appreciate you you know telling us your story you would start with me and so that's where I'm willing to meet with you and uh listen even to more details and concerns that you have I can tell you up front uh we have a multi-year contract with honey gr so we
can't break that I don't know when it expires off the top of my head the other thing is even when I got here 16 months ago I reached out to YMCA which is on the South Side they're not interested in coming that that far south to do a before and after school care plus they
would charge a lot more money for for you not for us every school in the county does Farm it out they don't have the their own because then it takes away from what we could pay teachers to be very Frank so I'm I'm open to listen to more um I don't know of other
competitors to honeyrove or if you have more specific concerns I can relay them back to their director and see if there's any um ability on their part I can't tell them what to do but I can at least have a conversation and would love to listen to more what your concerns are
so you can send me an email or you can call here and it'll go to my secretary and then she'll set up a time all right yeah just get a hold of of again my my secretary just call this main office and
we'll they'll look at my calendars and we'll meet problem thanks for coming second meting
