our consent agenda and this is for items A through E. Uh let me go through them then I would seek um your approval. Uh there is one claim that does need to be voted upon separately uh with B McCannel and I'll get to the particulars when we
get to our fund monthly fund and claims report. But we'll start with A and B. A is the minutes from our regular board meeting on May 18th. B is the minutes from the executive session on May 18th. And now C is our monthly fund revenue
and claims report. Uh the one invoice that should be pulled out and voted on separately is with Beast Mechanical in the amount of $1,948.32. Under personnel report, um you have the the standard report plus there's a supplemental personnel report. Um, you
also I also want to recognize the retirement of Brad Arbuckle, our Clark Pleasant Middle School assistant principal. He uh served uh for around 24 years uh with Clark Pleasant. We appreciate his his service. Um I also want to recognize a couple of um
resignations um and appreciate their loyalty and leadership over the years to Clark Pleasant, Dr. Ruby Butler and Mr. Brian Levelvel. Um there's two administrators that I'm not sure if they're here or not. Um there would be Mark Shadio uh that would be uh
recommended to be the new high school dean and then Annie Schneider is recommended to be the new assistant principal. Annie's right there. Yes. Very good. Um we'll recognize you after the vote happens um and any family that you've brought to. So um that is it.
Under personnel contracts, there's only three. You have the one with AT&T Enterprises. Uh the quick explanation there is we're moving from Verizon to AT&T for those employees um that have our our phone plan and it uh saves us
$500 per month. So that's a cost savings. Uh you have the Whitland Early Learning uh community which is um a requirement to have thisou from a grant that we got about a year ago uh that's called the pyramid model. helps with um
obviously learning and instruction for our preschool. The third one is anou with Indiana University and it's an advanced college placement dual credit for the high school and that is in reference to adding chemistry as a dual
credit. Uh we have one of our certified high school teachers who's willing to do that. I believe that is it under consent agenda. Make a motion to approve the consent agenda as presented. >> Second.
>> Any questions or concerns? >> All those in favor? >> I. >> All right. So, before we move on, I do want to recognize Annie. Annie, congratulations. Did you bring anybody here? >> My husband and my two daughters. >> Thank you for coming. Congratulations.

Okay. Sorry. >> So, now go to that one claim, please. >> We need a motion on the mechanical claim. Does anyone approve of that? >> I'll make a motion. >> Second. All those in favor? >> I.
>> All right. Thank you very much. Now, on to communications. The first item is um an update from uh the town of Whitland, and I'll have uh Carmen Young come forward and give us an update on what she's found out from last time. Thank you, Carmen.
>> Br potential closer to the geothermal system as much as possible. And so we did go back to them. We also met with the county surveyor and his team along
with Dr. Sam on April 28th to encourage them to provide some hard data some estimates on that would coincide with our potential project. Um took a little while to get
some of that information back and I did follow up with Dr. Edel and said it's still not quite what we were thinking after the meeting. We discussed having a partial drain and then a partial open issues there. Um but just couldn't put
the county couldn't put any cost to that. We didn't want to prolong continual in the county and try to again just find the best solution for all of when it comes to us and our sewer
project, the county with their drainage project. So, I'll let the engineer did provide us with updated conceptual. It still does not have the CAD of your geothermal like dropped into
it just yet. So, there is still some work to do, but he did pull it closer to that legal drain. As you can see on the north side outside. We have a couple different
possib Obviously, the county has talked about that changing urban drain instead. So that would drastically reduce the
amount. So when you say you've talked to the county, is that the drainage board? Yes. >> So that is that is our county surveyor elected. County drainage board is the one that makes the and so on and so
forth. And so that was that was that is when we were asked is how can we get this done as quickly as possible because we really need to get moving government to come together and all get out of what's in it for us
and at the cost and then getting everybody to agree. So we can make this a collaborative effort. >> So yeah, I appreciate that K with the county drainage board and their expert who I know real well.
He's willing to also work together with all entities to try to see how things could be done expeditiously but fair for all parties involved. But he said it's also a challenge to run a sewer this close to
this ditch to our to what your easement is that you're requesting. I again I'm not the expert in this area so I don't know does it seem feasible? >> It does. So the blue line is
>> the sew it. Right. >> And the easement is the red that is expanding on both sides of the ditch. And then I know the last time that um you presented and we talked and I think I see a difference is that
we would prefer not you to be so close to the geothermal field and even the old JB baseball field which we could more than likely turn into more parking for our auditorium.
>> I saw that. So thank you Would the new ditch expand the old ement or would it just move again? >> Is with the the ditch. Is there a new easement that will be that would come
with the ditch or is it same ement as the old ditch because it's 75 ft on either line? a 75 ft top of bank on each side. When they bring it into an urban, it can vary between
each side. really brings that where we wouldn't necessarily have to go to the county to get an approachment. But what we would need to discuss with you all is some form of a permanent ement where we needed to work on our
system on your property or how would that look you know if it's like right now the county as an ement it work
at some time down the road. We can get the urban drain narrowed in maybe the sewer closer to what was in that 75 and get it out of that geothermal field
even more at some point and so and that's when the geothermal pipes come across to elementary Obviously veryious when construction was happening
ahead of time to make sure we know exactly how deep it is where it is probably the goals. So, it's it's um not going to impact the parking at Whitland Elementary School.
Yes or no? >> Our intent is to stay on the west side. >> So, I know you adjusted what you just shared in this map from our last meeting. Thank you. Um, you're still waiting on probably estimates, numbers,
and then is your desire to come back for a formal proposal for our board to approve at some point? >> Okay. >> Yes. Yes. >> Y >> Okay. Well, anyone else? >> Yeah. once the uh county if they do
change that to urban that's going to be a big help for us because then I'd like to see them you know just get it as tight as you can. Um of course elevation is your enemy I get it. Um, and I guess the biggest concern I have
is anywhere they've got these manholes, long as down further in the design that that can be laid out is the most convenient way for you guys to service them and not disturb a parking lot,
anything like that. >> Yeah. Yeah. Just, you know, common sense go a long way right there. Um, that's really my big concerns. And then, you know, if we're going to grant this easement, is there anything the town
could do for like an inind you know, like for maybe some other storm water credit or, you know, because I know the cost going down center street is substantial and this solves a lot of that problem. So, just gives that some
thought. you know, if we could do some give and take there, maybe with some storm water credits or something. I don't know. I just think we're moving in the right direction. I just think finding details and I think we can personally I think we could probably make it happen because it's an area we're never going to be able to build
in. It's a perfect place for utility easement and if we can make it benefit everybody, then I'm all for it. >> Yeah. >> I know you We're probably not looking to do another
>> but if we could eliminate the floodway on the north end that could then open up some ground for you probably not for a building but I mean some
kind of that's where this whole beneicial project and getting the updated once we bring in that project. Um, we've even offered to, you know, again, what's the we
kind of tax,000. So, I'm saying we have a lot of sitting around like that again. I think
trying to find some parties. >> So what I'm hearing is you got to do some more homework with getting estimates and then as a proposalou your legal will review our legal review
for protection and all that. Okay. Any other thoughts comments >> Dr. on our phase four and phase five projects that we are, you know, in the process of building. Does this affect
that at all? >> I don't believe so. As Sam Sham has said, no. >> I just wondered because I was looking up here where the varsity baseball field is and we're going to put a JV baseball field up there. >> Yeah. Plenty west. >> Yeah. Will will that affect that?
>> Not from this diagram. Not that I know I'm aware of. >> Okay. >> And then one last thing because development projects. This is for a development that he has been waiting for this project to be
completed for another 200 home. Right. So about 200. So again this is this is bringing you all students. >> Any other questions? We're good.
>> Uh, thank you both and we'll be we'll see you soon. >> All right. Next presentation is our education foundation director, Miss Jenny Zam. >> Hi guys. I have given you a
look at this information tonight. We're a nonprofit organization that specifically raises money for our schooloration. We've been around since 2012. our board of directors this year. I kind of listed them out for you. We do change
our positions in October every year. This is our current list of what position. I do want to point out our interns this year. So, not only did I have three students from the high school, but I also had two different college interns this year. So, Ellen D from college, she did a short internship
with me and then Kylie and I will internship with us here at our foundation. I'm getting mostly kids that are going to leadership. I'm actually working
for the other mention is although I only had three high school interns this year, I will have two high school for next year. But I als We do all kinds of funding celebrating expanding funding. So our goals are
always to not only help fund things in the classroom and stuff like that, but also we try to make sure we are celebrating educators kind of give those little extras because we know that those little we
in class and grants all kinds of different grants. We have a committee that selects those application process in the fall. They turn in their applications actually. We do ages. So this was they wanted to do over at
Grassy Creek. It was all about being out of the world. They were astronauts, engineers, problem solvers, and they had so many fun activities. I actually popped in on this group. They didn't know I was coming that day. I didn't even know they were doing it on this day. But they had set up all these stations
and the kids got uniforms all dressed up and it was just a really great creative day in the class and in that they were able to work on the next They were all like math problems like writing and reasoning. They made a full
day out of it. So it was just a day together. We also do things like experiences. So this year, one of the examples I brought up was we had 30 of our multip for them. So they got to taste
different. So dressing up to go somewhere nice to see a live production. That's not something they never tasted before. These are things that are experienced and I think we a very successful year in
apps in the area of local entities and Johanna is our writer. She does a phenomenal job. She is person,000 grants for us. These are all very
specific item. It's not just our team that otherwise So we have a bunch of students that are in categories and they are allowed to take one or two test
and they want to take more than that they have to pay and so our schools that cost a lot of time and so this year we found great funding for that. So our students this class that just graduated very bright
so We do over $34,000 every year. Technical school named after people have specific We host a lot of events for our fundraising overse
different types of events. Some of them are great because we have community involvement. Some are great because it's the family that's for fun as well as we try to create events that do a lot of different things. They're not only a money maker for us, but they're also way
more. We also promote all kinds of like that way we are always trying to schools for all of our staff members. So, All things that September
holiday does not have to go into the classific are the JCO. So this is kind of if you look through what our year look like numbers the only number I want to really point out at the bottom where it says 431
we started our education foundation back in July of 2023 my goal was to get to five years I can tell you that this week I got questions. >> Very well done.
>> Jenny, you do an incredible job. Appreciate you. Uh, next to our Central 9 report, Miss Bozel. >> Uh, yeah, the C9 board met June 11th. Um, it was during our ribbon cutting and dedication for the, um, threetory wings,
so I was unable to attend. Um, there was no program showcase scheduled. Um but the items of business included approval of the 2627 education and operating budgets, property casualty insurance plan, um
non-curricular student fees, first responder and firefighter u one and two programs. And following the adult ed report, the board heard um an C9 adult success story by Scott Lynn and it
highlighted his journey to regain his passion for learning while dealing with language barriers. As was discussed earlier, um finding what worked for him with the help of his C9 instructors, he's now on a pathway to eventually earn
a master's degree. and he's stating, "I do not plan to stop learning." So, I thought that was pretty good. >> Very good. Thank you so much. Uh, Town of Whitland RDC report. Mr. Bon, >> the RDC's meeting was as well during the
ribbon, so I was not able to attend. Um, get my equipment here to cooperate. >> They had a meeting. That's all. >> Good to know. Thank you. >> It's not a Uh, City of Greenwood RDC report. Mr. Zeke.
>> Well, I was able to on Tuesday, June 9th. Um, a lot of things went on in the 14 minutes that we were there. Um, one of the things that they had they had talked
about is a subdivision is in our school district, Sage Brier by Dell Webb. And that is phase one is totally sold out. Uh they have sold many of those. They thought that they would be selling it at
one price and actually the price that they're selling the Dell web places is over $50,000 more than what they what they have anticipated. Uh basically though it's not going to bring be a big thing for our corporation because it's
basically 55 and over with with this um they talked a little bit about um an open house that they are going to have. That open house is on Friday, June 26. Uh where we are, you know, invited to
attend it. It's at the Brier House amenity. Uh it is at the clubhouse which will have a pool and a lot of other amenities. There'll be light light music, light refreshments and a self tour and they are selling about 8 to 10
homes every month. So it's a community that's you know that's thriving basically and it's up on our five points and county line road. Um they also happen to get their money from this from
the county u for their tiff districts. Um so wasn't enough because I got a letter again that says they have no excess money. So they will not be passing on any money to our school
corporation. >> So I made an error. It was 17 minutes that meeting. So, we did get a lot done in 17 minutes. There was a liquor license that was asked, but that has nothing to do with our schooloration. >> Thank you, Butch. I may pause for a
quick second where I know under new business, we have the annual appointment for Greenwood Public Library, but I also think they want to do an annual presentation. Do you want to do that now? And then we'll we'll still um seek the appointment of the trust trust uh trustee. So, yeah, come come on up.
Thank you. My name is Dr. Library, but I also want to thank you for choosing me to be your represent years. I just did one term.
Uh GPL continues to just be a community resource that supports students and community throughout both engagement and services that provided to the community. I would like
to just go over a few of those with you. You guys have an annual report or I brought some copies as well. So, in July of last year, I helped to welcome
in our new executive director Ellis and the library issued over 3,100 new library cards, which is over. Community members borrowed a mix of both
physical and items over whenever I see those numbers but checking out the all the books the various papers there's just so much to offer they
welcome over 1800 participants and their study rooms and their Wi-Fi reservations continue to increase the board and st continue to work thoughtfully to ensure
financially responsible innovative but also responsive to community needs. The library was able to keep expenses below incoming revenue sources by $135,000 last year. This commitment to
responsibility I'm sure you guys know will only be very One of my favorite is just how closely the library's mission aligns to that of our school and
our students. Do you feel they provide access to so many things for our students? Um, and research materials and we do all of this in the continent of the educational opportunity for our
community. Whether through the early literacy programs or the team activities or just quiet study environments, the library remains a valable partner in supporting student achievement.
As trustes, part of our responsibility is to advocate for strong public libraries and to remain aware of legislative issues that may impact library services. GPL leadership has worked intentionally this year to improve communication and transparency
with community stakeholders by sharing monthly operational impact that just how useful the libraries really are. Recent updates from leadership reflected
very encouraging trends. The door count and visitor traffic continues to increase with already significantly over thousands of material circulating in all formats.
And one one statistic I just can't get out of my head. questions that they are asked and in just the first half of 2026 they've already answered over 31,000 questions which is I don't even know
um computers they still continue to grow and they are growing over GPL leadership is also like I said they are proactively planning for the future financial challenges Literating their HVAC system in other areas.
Uh GPL has also increased outreach and advocacy efforts through local and state leaders and during the spring they invited in the candidates for house district awesome.
Public libraries across Indiana. One of the things that I love most is at every trustee meeting we get to hear from the department head and they share the one that recently
it made me feel so good because I had a daughter that struggled with this young girl just bounced into the library and she was so excited and could not wait to talk to the staff and the li about how
amazing it was that she had access to all of these free books and she got a perfect or I remain committed to serving as a supportive and collaborative representative of the school. You'll have value
and library and I'm very passionate. Um, so thank you again for your support. >> So thank you, Miss Harmon. Um, great annual report. Love this brochure. So pass that along. That's well done. So good data.
>> That's awesome. >> Thank you very much. >> Thank you. Thank you. >> All right. Uh, next on the agenda is old business. And there are no uh language changes from the first reading last month. So I would just um state that
it's policy 1700 4100 uh 4110 4300 4307 and um would seek your approval on all those um policies. >> Make a motion to approve the policies as presented. >> Second.
>> Any questions or concerns? All those in favor? >> I I >> All right. Under new business, uh the first item is uh seeking approval for our um updated policies and procedures for our new natiatorum. I'll introduce
our principal uh Mr. Lines. And then he's also brought um uh some of the PE department and Nikki Morrison, Judy Treat, and John Sincoft because they were very instrumental in updating um all this language. So, I will turn it over to them. Thank you, Dr. Zel,
President Crawford, members of the board. Thank you guys for bringing us here tonight. Um, with the ribbon cutting last week, we are now looking ahead to be able to open up the pool for the upcoming procedures and proposal to modify the
lifeguard staffing Johnson and Judy. I guess I'm going to start with the kind of touch on the changes. the same as what it >> um the major changes really are with the
new angel eye system. So on page four, we're just changing instead of wearing the watch for the wave system, we'll put on the watch for the angel watch. Um water safety in have that on. Number four, uh we will run a test. So we have
a mannequin that we throw in the pool every morning. So that test will be ran every morning before 7:20 and then the angel iPhone will be on the desk along with the walkie and everything else to
have the day start because of the size of the pool and where they will be located. Classes now I will teach in the middle of the pool. foot area. So, um on page four, line
five, how the class will begin, the kids will be designated in the middle of the pool area. Page five, end of the day procedures. again because of the larger pool and the two different bulkheads. Before it was a
figure eight around the pool. Now you're kind of doing a modif instructor. Um, then we're moving on to page eight. This is the lifeguard procedure. Again, similar. They're going to be wearing the angel watch. They will
help with that testing of that building in the morning. Then again, they start with a figure eight, that modified figure eight around the first bulkhead around one second and go around. And then again, at the end of each
class, They will do that figure eight on page n again across both heads and looking at both page 10 of the day again another bulkhead scan and then placing there
watching station action plans. Um the thing that changes here is the fire eies. We have a new door to go out and we don't have the athletic training room to go inside. So,
we'll go out for 7W and if there's inclement weather, um we're going to proceed to the academy. Um if the weather's okay, we're going to stand on that sidewalk on the west side. Um if we need to exit,
if they're obviously their swim, that's when we'll go to that academy. Um and then page If any of the above scenarios are determined to be a drill, all staff are expected to respond emergency. So we
just put that little note in page 14. Um, page 15, instruction, uh, following attendance. The kids will be instru and always slide in. So, slide in, don't
jump in. So, that added that. the diving boards. We have added three meter boards um to the pool area. So those three meter boards will be closed during all classes. Nobody will be allowed on those
meter boards. Um while the boards are opening, we we stated that they can um swimming can be permitted from the bulkhead to the life stand which is about 11 ft because some kids are going to want to get out of that 4t area and
swim over in the little while. the div. So, we kind of just made it from the bulkhead, but kids can swim across and play in that area while those diving boards are still open. Um, added number backward inwards or reverse
dives allowed unless given permission by the instructor. 18 and then nothing changed there. And then page 20 and 21 that is the new angelized system.
And I'm gonna let John speak on that. And then the last two pages or three 22 23 and 24 we're still going to implement the checklist for the instructor and the two life cards. Um and it just in red it's just the things that I've touched
on testing of the dummy the angel iPhone instead of we have to add the angel iPhone the watches where they're sitting. So those are just a few checklist. >> Yeah. So, briefly, um the July is the
new AI system. Um it's been working extremely well. We've been testing it every morning. The average response time from when that mannequin floats to the bottom is about two to four seconds. You get notified everything goes off. We've
been doing that in the mornings. Uh I can tell that the system is learning the first day. Um I'd say we had around 20 alarms go off and that was from shadows uh from the windows. It was land lines that were floating in the pool. Today
we've had zero alarms. But every day there's been less and less. It's detecting the mannequin was on the bottom. It's detecting when a water bottle fell on the pool last week and sat on the bottom. within 5 seconds
to the bottom. So, it's detecting very small things from great distances from multiple different cameras in the pool. Um, so it's been working really, really well and it's a great asset to have. >> No, keep going. Go to your next document. Yep.
>> All right. And And the last thing is the modification to um staffing life. So right now what we have is an adult lifeguard and a student lifeguard. I want to kind of I'm asking to change the titles of those a little bit. One to a
lead life guard and one to secondary life. The lead lifeguard needs to be certified in obviously lifeguarding CPR first aid with a minimum of one full season of my learning experience. Um, I have seniors
next year that have been with me for three years and this is going to be their fourth year with me. So, I would like to like they could be a lead life. They've also they've been with me for three years. They um lifeguarded at Franklin Community. They or the Franklin
Aquatics. They've been at Freedom Springs. A couple back. So, I'm just I would like to change the titles and maybe allow those guards that opportunity. And then the second dairy life guard really the change would just
be they really they haven't guarded before like they're going to be brand new to me. They're going to learn the system. Um these kids really enjoy they've taken pride in being this lifeguard. Um he'll attest to just this summer too like I their club these kids
have really taken pride in the program. I build it up to where almost 27 >> and they're students. >> So that's my proposal. And then for secondary
>> and I would just add to that, you know, it's the same amount of adult or same amount of um individuals on the deck. We have an enhanced security system that that we have not had and all the certification is still going to be required. So I I appreciate what your
thoughts are here. Any questions from the board? I appreciate their >> How many of those Angel Eye watches do we have? >> We have 10. >> 10 watches. That's nice. That's nice to know.
>> So, the primary lifeguard will have all the same training as before. We're just changing title only. experience >> and they know our system. They know our they know our right >> that pathway
>> these kids can walk out here and get a job on the college campus. So, >> I think you answered this question for me last year, but I just want to make sure. Sounds like a great program. Sounds like you guys have done really,
really good job. But what happens if one of you two aren't there? You know, I can't expect you to be there 180 days, you know? >> I mean, like for club and stuff or like when I'm not there as a teacher. >> I'm talking about Yes. says classroom.
>> So like if I'm not there and if Nikki can cover if not we just shut the pool down. >> Okay, that's what I want to hear. >> Uh and I would reiterate that both Dr. Schllo and myself will do monthly checks that will continue.
Make a motion to approve the new modified pool rules, procedures, SOPs, and the title designation in the lifeguard as presented. >> I'll second it. >> All those in favor? >> I
>> thank you for your time and all the work you've put in. Appreciate all of you. >> All right. Next on the agenda is letter B, consideration of recommendation for 2627 meal prices. I'll introduce our food services director, Miss Lauren Jones.
>> Thank you, Dr. and thank you members. Um, we do have a few changes this year to the menu pricing for new school year. Um, happy to kind of explain a little bit, answer any questions you may have. Um, first and foremost, we are raising our prices just a little bit meal. Um,
the cost of food is just going up as you can Um, so we're trying to keep up with that, but we're also trying to continue to provide good quality food. We want them to eat, right? So, um, fresh fruits and vegetable are the key component to our meals every single day. Um, any
kitchen you walk into, you're going to see fresh fruits and veggies on the line every day. Um, and that's what's up the most, of course. So, um, that's where we're on top of that. Also, you'll see a new kind of meal price listed there. We're calling it a premium meal. kind of
trends with many other school districts across the state of Indiana and really across the country adding this in so that we can offer um maybe some meals that we would normally be able to offer >> based on our budget. One of which is the new person at the high school.
>> I want one. >> Yes, I know you and Dr. Ship are on the list to get one of the first ones. But um we're going to be offering some pizzas in the fall are fresh that we rise that they've overnight the day
before it all going to be a very good quality product for our students but obviously that comes at a cost. Um, so this would allow us to kind of make up the difference and be able to continue to offer and invest it.
Um, that being said, our reviews will always be free and that pizza program we're going to begin is just the beginning of a long offer that are you know more in our new space hopefully that will be
opening um here it's opening in July whether we're functioning or not is open there but we're getting there we're very excited I know you guys have seen it any questions >> thank you Lauren >> make a motion to approve the changes as
presented. >> I'll second. >> All those in favor? >> I >> All right. Thanks, Lauren. Next item is consideration for 2627 curricular fees and student fees. Mr. Pendleton.
>> Good evening. So, this is a lot like what you all heard last year with the legislative changes that came that not allow school corporations to charge any fees to families. So, this is a this curricular cost that the
corporation is incurring to cover uh the curriculum that we're offering by different grade levels. So broken down for district wise so something that would apply K through 12, elementary, middle school and high school today and as you know with the funding
formula going up each year does that raise or that text reimbursement that they taken away from M put in the tuition support. They really haven't advertised that since 2425. That's roughly $160 a student. So with
our dip in enrollment this past year in 2526, we very close in that curricular cost and the price per student. multiply that by all our students that there's a marginal difference
with curriculum being what you can see here at 1.14 million and then if you just take our enrollment from last October which we expect to come up a little bit this October we're at 1. So that
and then the other thing that I put together, so last June, DOE did come out with language based off of House Bill 102 that did allow schools to charge some fees, but they had certain criteria that had to be met in order for that to
be passed along to the What this is is looking at that guidance from DOE which essentially said this complnt the curriculum not the curriculum itself which is what that first document was um that can be passed
along so principles Dr. director have all worked together to kind of say what are those things? So some of those things can be like it can be some sort of additional fee for consumable supplies for art
classes like so principles have kind of broken that down into this table and those are what we would propose we put in place for 26 27 amilies to pay
for those courses listed. The other thing that I would point out is the very last line you'll see a marching band rental fee. So one of the criteria that we are allowed for guidance with DOE is extracurricular activity fees. So marching band for
those horns that are different from the concert horns the students that would utilize those marching horns that marching. The only thing I would add to what Brad said is, you know, that last document is
very nominal, reasonable where where two or three years ago before, you know, that statute was passed, we're talking hundreds, hundreds and hundreds of dollars that were uh responsible for parent for parents to pay. So, it's it's opening back up those supplemental resources, but but not in an exorbitant
manner. Any questions? >> Thank you, Brad. >> How does that get uh assessed >> based on the class kid takes or the child takes? >> So, it's whatever that course if they're
taking AP um calculus AB, it's 225 for just that that fee. >> So, then how Is that okay? I asked my own question. >> Yeah, no worries. >> So, it's based on their schedule
>> and then obviously what aligns with the fee that would be charged. >> Make a motion to approve as presented. >> Second. >> All those in favor? >> I.
>> All right. Next is uh donations. Uh Mr. Pendleton, you stay right there. >> We have four donations for approval tonight. The first one is the elementary school elementary school supplies for $7,450
breaking bread for $550. Clark Elementary School $1,000. >> Make a motion to approve all. >> Second. All those in favor? >> I.
>> All right. Thank you, Brad. Uh the next two items uh the handbooks for students for next school year, the handbooks for our um employees classified certified in transportation. Um there there are really no major um changes in language
or in in policy of a particular kind or or area. It's a lot of just updates in timelines, in names, and some of it we still need to edit and correct. So, um, you could vote on it separately as an EF
or all of it together. Obviously, if it was major and significant, you would have heard of that a lot before tonight. Um, but also granting us the administrative authority that if we need to adjust and change things or align things with code better because, you know, we're still waiting on uh guidance
from the DOE with the no cell phone um bill, even though that still has was passed under old business. So hopefully that makes sense. >> Make a motion to approve all handbooks as presented with discretion to make
clerical and grammatical corrections. >> Second. >> All those in favor? >> I. >> All right. Thank you very much. Uh we'll go right to G, which is requesting approval for the referendum tax levy
resolution. So you see the official resolution. uh which is really um the same language from last month's preliminary um study. And what um I would tell you is uh if it
if it is approved, we'll send out a press release to local media, to our families, just letting them know that we are seeking a uh renewal on our current operating referendum uh from back in 2018 that expires at the end of this calendar year. So, we're seeking um
again another eight-year renewal for school safety uh and student support services, which is primarily our police department, um our nursing uh nurses, and also our behavioral health. So, um it's not a formal presentation. Um
you've you've heard uh over the last several months, you know, the the u the desire to seek this renewal. So we will work to um give out the information accordingly. Um we obviously are working handinhand with our legal and bond
council. Um we still pending your approval will um get a approval of uh from the county auditor. Um and the last thing I would say it last month too is uh the the current one that expires was a 10-cent uh referendum. We're seeking a
9 cent to be respectful of our community taxpayers and yet still be able to provide the same services. Uh we feel we can do that. We we've had that um financial study done. Um so we we are really um going to do our absolute best
to um seek this the seek this approval. It'll be on the November ballot. I make a motion to approve the referendum tax levy resol resolution present. >> I'll second.
>> Any other questions, concerns? All those in favor? >> I >> I >> Thank you, board. Appreciate your support. Uh, next item. We already had the presentation, so the um appointment I'll turn over to President Crawford
because she did all the work on this. Um, do I have a motion to approve Lauren Harmon as our trustee for the Greenwood Public Library? >> I'll make the motion. >> A second. >> Second. >> All those in favor?
>> I. Congratulations. >> Uh, next and last item is some field trips. Uh you've got the high school boys basketball team camp at handover college June 17th through 18th. You have our FFA Soore conference in Trafalger
October 2nd through the 4th. So that's overnight. And you also have the FFA fire conference in Trafalar November 20th through the 22nd. >> Make a motion to approve field trips as presented. >> Second. >> All those in favor? Hi.
