Our student of the month is Liam Hopkins. My first memory of meeting Liam was last year when he came down the fifth grade halls with a friendly hello and a big smile. I'm happy to say not much has changed since then.
This is from his teacher Mrs. Hazen. Liam demonstrates a great work ethic with his class assignments, he volunteers often, works well in small groups, and is helpful with his peers. He's also creative and made a pretty cool Halloween sign for our class door. The most impressive quality, however, is how humble Liam is. He never seeks attention, doesn't brag, and is genuinely kind to his peers. I look forward to all the great things Liam will do in fifth grade. Great job, Liam. Alright. Hoover Elementary would like to honor Scarlett Rangel.
Come on up, Scarlett. Scarlett is a fourth grader in miss Johnson's room, and miss Johnson always writes an acrostic poem. Scarlett is smart, caring, achiever, rare, likable, empathetic, talented, terrific, respectful, awesome, neighborly, generous, enthusiastic, and lovely. Scarlet is one of those rare people who has the integrity to put her best paw forward simply because it is who she is. She is always being respectful, responsible, and safe, not because she is earning a reward
for it, but because it is the right thing to do. Scarlet makes the world a better place with her mindful outlook. Great job, Scarlet. Hello, Marcus Huen, fifth grade at United Oaks, Marcus.

Way to go, Kendall. The advantaged student of the month is Erica Seawright. Erica has a pleasant attitude this year, which is a turnaround from previous years.

Hold on. I'm gonna read it. Okay. Jevez Robertson is Edison student of the month for October. Over the past several years, Jevez has demonstrated remarkable growth in both his behavioral and academic performance. At the beginning of this quarter, he faced some challenges with staying focused and completing assignments on time. He now approaches classroom expectations with a maturity and a positive attitude, demonstrating respect towards peers and teachers alike. In addition to his behavioral goal, he has shown a renewed commitment to academic success. He now completes assignments promptly and with care.
This improvement not only reflects his growing sense of responsibility, but also serves as a model for classmates. We are proud of his hard work and perseverance. He he has proven that with determination and the right mindset, meaningful change is possible. We wholeheartedly recommend Jabez for the student of the month and believe this recognition will further encourage his continued growth. Okay.

So, at the homecoming football game on October 10, we brought back the iconic Viking float, which was a very great addition to our parade that we had, and we're looking forward to continuing that go or continuing that on for the next few years. Next up, we have the class of twenty twenty six senior activities. They've been going quite well with the addition of senior parking spots.
This year, we have 20 senior parking spots with all different creative, artistic, designs. So it's very nice to see that every morning on the way to school. And, yeah. Next up, we got marching band made it to state finals at Ford Field and placed ninth place with a score of 74.8, which I heard ninth is the highest we've ever scored. So great job, marching band. Next up, we got girls volleyball, made it to the district championship finals against Ferndale, and fell a little short of victory, but they played a great season. They've made, fantastic, progress over the past few years.
Oh, great job. Next up, we got Hazel Park Jama presented Night of the Living Dead, during or from October 30 to November 1. On Halloween, they hosted a free matinee for all the high school students and teachers to come see, and the teachers joined in on the Google fun by getting, some zombie makeup done by the drama students, the morning of the show. So they were all dressed up, which was very fun to see. Football finished their season on Halloween, making it to the semifinals, and, they played a great game. They fell a little short, but, we're very we're very proud to see their improvement
over the years. They've been doing great. So great job. The National Honor Society hosted its first blood drive of the year with 29 successful donations. The next one is December 18, and I hope to see some of you guys come and donate.

Thank you. K. Next, we have public comment. I have one person. Who is this person? The other. Mister Lloyd?
Yeah. Let me say first my little comments. This is a business, a Board of Education business meeting in public for the purpose of conduct conducting school district business and is not to be considered a public community meeting. The board has provided two opportunities during the meeting for the public to address the board respectfully. Personal attacks that are abusive or obscene that disrupts the meeting will be stopped. Rules are on the wall. Please be kind. And no personal comments, please.
Okay. Say your name and address, and you have five minutes. Good greeting. Ian Lloyd. 992 East A And A In Clark, Michigan 48030. I suppose is a Can I put one in over that? We can't hear you, and that you're just not giving me a call. That's cool. And yeah, so I'm just here. That's better. Go ahead. That's better. Are we I guess I'm wishing you guys are you know, like, as a board,
good luck. You know, you know, there's a lot of, I never realized what a closely related job when you get sworn in using the constitution that you guys carry that burden that I felt as a soldier as well. And I want you to know that I have offered gratitude for for the elected officials and the weights that you carry. And so, what I started to do was I I tuned into a few things.
I saw that we we have, someone interested in helping us articulate goals from last week, last, meeting. I think on the board behind you, I think it was nice to see the vision and the mission, but there should be maybe a countdown clock till you run out of money. I mean, maybe, you know, like, $40,000 per month is what we pay in interest, apparently, on the $500,000 that we're repaying in the twelve month calendar year.
We refinanced the house for raises to administration. We've refinanced the house. I want you guys to know, none of those raises how could you vote on them? Each one that came before you subsequently in the previous one to two, three years, how did you even know without accurate, numbers related to the finances? And you authorize raises that put us in a, you know, precarious situation. And the only reason you had a chance to do that because someone had a
bright idea that we needed to exit from Oakland Schools oversight. We're still on emergency loans. I mean, when are you gonna replace that 500 ks and put it into instruction? I wanted you guys to know that you're allowed to go through a bankruptcy And
Detroit Public Schools is a perfect example of it. They did all their deconstruction costs, wrapped it into their restructuring plan, and had community stakeholder involvement. Before you guys go out and reach for the a millage, you know, you can come talk to the public. I'm unclear if you can demonstrate that you did that in your last vote for the millage that you wanted all the seniors to pay for your instant line of credit. We have structural things that need to change.
HR doesn't get to make one thirty. I'm sorry. That's that's unacceptable in Hazel Park, especially with no experience. I'm wondering about the ethics conversations that I've had. Did you guys think about those? Did you think about what it looks like to to have family members doing all your finances and paid for it twice? We paid plant marine to do this. You don't think Hazel Park deserves a quality audit? I mean, if you don't want someone to speak about these facts, don't let them
become facts. I've requested a a investigation into the organization's finances 2020. There was clear and definite definitive breaches to our collective agreement. It's okay for you guys to just shrink. And it's okay to get right size and make your if you made a mistake, you can own up to it. And there's a lot of mistake. We all have them, but you can't continually make mistakes on the taxpayers money.
Something lawful, that's when I'm outside my scope of employment. And all of those fees related to that could be if there's any investigations or anything, you could actually, you know, need to pay the money back. So I hope you guys use your why your money wisely. You can't refinance a home twelve months at a at a calendar year just to pay admin raises. I just time Bring open schools back in here.
Do it right. Okay. The next, next thing is a closed session. Can I get a motion to go to closed session? I move that to board of education to recess into closed set session eight eight. These members know exactly the discussion or disclosure by state or federal statute of any claim resolution. Second. Okay. Motion by Monica and second by Heidi to go to closed session. Roll call, please. 13? Yes. Fortran? Yes. Eaton? Yes. Frederick? Yes. Fox? Yes. Oberge? Yes. Yes. Throw something here too.
We're full of sarcasm. Ollie. Return to open session. Okay. Debbie, motion to return to open session and who will second? Heidi. Heidi will second. All in favor? Aye. Aye. Aye. Roll call. I didn't hear all the ayes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Devin? Yes. Hi. I mean, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Motion carries seven zero. Motion. Can I get a motion to approve the consent agenda? I move the Board of Education accept the consent agenda with the one the change, ten twenty's minutes to change she or her to him?
Support. Any discussion oh, support was? Sorry. Monica? April. Yeah. April. Okay. Any discussion about that? Mhmm. Okay. Roll call? Yes. Yes. Yes. Becker? Yes. The third one? Yes. Fox? Yes. Bertini? Yes. Vincent? Yes. Motion carries seven zero. New business. Strategic plan. Can I get a motion for the strategic plan? I mean, the Board of Education approve the strategic plan for MASB as presented. Support. Okay. Motion by Ivy. Support by Debbie for the MASB strategic plan discussion.
I kinda went through all of them. My only concern I know the one, the AAE one is a little bit more expensive, but it did go along with our portrait of a learner. So I'm just wondering, will MASB put that into theirs? Does anyone know? I think we did. I did ask that or or doctor Wilcox asked it and they worked on a few with Portrait of a Learner? They have. They have worked with a few people on a Portrait of a Learner as has
MLI. And then obviously AASA because that's what they do. But, yes, they've all had they've not centered it around. You've seen the examples, but they have worked with individuals that are utilizing. That was the words I got. Better use utilizing Portrait of a Learner. And I two last Tuesday, they had a newborn, seminar that was, MESB Debbie Stair put on for strategic plan, and goals. And I thought it kinda went right along with what we're doing right now.
And I I was impressed with that. So I watched the meeting while I was gone. It's interesting to to watch while it's happening. What I liked about it was really community, based. A lot of I just felt down to earth, common sense, community based, is what I liked about the MASB. Any other anybody else? I just, have a question. I know we discussed this starting in January, but doctor Wilcox mentioned in our last
meeting that her staff felt very overwhelmed with our zero based budgeting process and doing the strategic plan at the same time. And I know it's very important that we have the zero based budgeting and we have good information to make decisions on. Is there a way that possibly we can start this in April and end it in September, October versus starting it in January? If if you do that, you will have to start it in the fall. People would not start it into the end of the year and over the summer.
That wouldn't be an activity that our teachers and everybody would be a part of. I also my recommendation was the opposite in mister Sobeys' presentation. He recommends that all of this be tied to the strategic plan in which he stated we should have done it in the fall, but, unfortunately, we did not. And so my request was get the strategic plan and the departmental budgeting done, then start this, to mister Sobe in June. So he did mention that today in a conversation that he was suggesting to you guys to go ahead and do it, afterwards.
But that really is not my recommendation. We really need our strategic plan going forward and to get to a potential bond. There's a time frame. Okay. Well, then you're telling me that your staff is okay with doing zero based budgeting as directed by the board using mister Solby and doing strategic plan at the same time. They're not gonna be overwhelmed? Miss Fortress, my recommendation is that that zero based budgeting be done in the summertime because we are still have two business officials that are working through here. I know my staff is overwhelmed with that as well as, my staff doing negotiations
as well as the other items that are on, and, the the strategic plan needs to be done. I'm concerned more about their willingness to participate given the fact that there's a lot on their plate. They cannot come out of their buildings now to attend our meetings, and that's going to be very difficult. When we have many of the steps in zero based budgeting already set up, it's more of the looking at those funds and those accounts, which they will have for them by the time we roll around in the spring. Well, the budget's due in June.
So starting at next year is pointless. So we're pushing it up. Is there something you need to say? She's shaking her head no, so I'm confused. Excuse me. I would ask that, under your ethics that you're respectful. Do you have any kind of respect I didn't say anything. You're not shaking your head. So the person sitting next to you is shaking their head no. So I was confused. I wasn't I just sure if you were I'm sure that we wanna call out people at the table. That's not doing anything. Again, the board makes the decision. Our recommendation is that we wait. You've already approved, mister Stobbe.
That's not what's on the table. The strategic plan would have to be rebid out because it might be changed in the dollars in the meantime. Okay. Then we'll move forward as is. I'm just trying to be cours courteous of your staff. Yeah. I think with that, we need to vote and I think we need to stay with the original, that we were gonna fire somebody, and then we were gonna start this. So, anybody? That's real calm? Sorry. Yes. The promos? Yes. Deaton? Yes. Becker? Yes. Fox? Yes. Yes. Yes.
Motion carries, seven zero. Next on the agenda is the cybersecurity assessment. I move the board of education approve the IT risk assessment and an amount not to exceed $10,000 as presented. Support. Second. Sorry. Oh, I'm sorry. I was looking for it. Monica motion and Heidi seconds discussion. There is no new discussion since last meeting and was only as questions. Yeah. Unless you have questions. Roll call, please. Archie? Yes. Fortress? Yes. No. Becker? Yes. Fox? Yes. Reproblitz?
Yes. Yes. Six of one motion carries. Is there a new one on the web? Edison Swipe? Wasn't there a new one? That is the new one. Okay. Okay. Because that wasn't discussed No. Last week. So I made a motion I move the board Board of Education to approve the proposal of school board access installation at the Webb Staff Lounge in the Edison, Maine office at the cost not to exceed $6,870. Support. Okay. Motion by Heidi.
Support by Monica. Any discussion? Yeah. Just briefly since we didn't we had one that was broken at Edison. At the same time, there's some concern about how the staff lounge goes into the library. So for safety purposes, we thought instead of having different keys that it would be better just to have a swipe. It came over the $5,000 amount, which then I apologize for not getting this to you last week, but we got it at the end of the week. And thus, I asked president Hinton for the ability to put it on. Are these in other buildings? Yes. That's what you swipe in with.
Oh oh, okay. Yep. What was Any questions? Yeah. I have a question. Was the Edison one damaged by a student or was it just not working? We don't know. I know. I I know. Did you know? Okay. I I think we have to chat with you about that. Oh, okay. Because I just want to see if you can just If we have them at all the staff lounges? They're not in all the staff lounges, but the other staff lounges don't open up into an a classroom of kids. Oh. So that's the difference because normally, right, they're in a so that staff lounge goes
right through to the library. And so kids can bounce in there, but also, you know, it's it's not a locked safe area. I think that one's an important one to have. Yeah. There felt actually, the, one of the teachers wanted to come and speak tonight because they feel so unsafe. And I said, I couldn't imagine that we're not voting yes for this. Thank you. Okay. Roll call? Flores? Yes. Britney? Yes. Yes. Becker? Yes. Fox? Yes. What's wrong with this? Yes. Yes. Motion carries six zero. 31 double a. Resolution.
I move the Board of Education approve 31 AA resolution as presented. Second. Motion by Amanda and second by Heidi. Any discussion? You want me to read it first? We need to do the yes. Read that. Alright. Buckle up. She's not that bad. The grip of beverage, sit down for a minute. A regular meeting of the Board of Education of Hazel Park Schools was held at 1620 East Elza Hazel Park on 11/17/2025 at 6PM. Meeting was called to order by president Hinton. The following preamble and resolution were offered by member Ritty and supported by member Fortress.
Okay. That part's not different. Alright. Whereas, the Michigan legislature enacted as part of the 2526 state aid school appropriate state school aid appropriations bill, bill, Michigan Public Act 15 of 2025, certain amendments to section 31 double a, MCL three eighty eight point one six thirty one double a, the state school aid act, that appropriates money to support school safety and mental health. Whereas the school district desires to apply for the section 31 double a money in a form and manner prescribed by the Michigan Department of Education. Whereas to receive funding under section 31 a of the act, the school district must
affirmatively agree to waive any privilege that may otherwise protect information from disclosure in the event of a mass casualty event as defined in section 31 double a of the act and must agree to comply with the comprehensive investigation as defined in section 31 double a of the act for a period that consistent with 31 a 16 would apply for the fiscal year in which eligibility was determined to 2026, plus two additional fiscal years beyond that fiscal year, thus ending 2028. Whereas one of the privileges that may be invoked in connection with a comprehensive investigation
is attorney client privilege, and only the board can effectively waive attorney client privilege on behalf of the school district. Therefore, it is hereby resolved that the board hereby waives any privilege, including attorney client privilege, only on behalf of the school district for the sole and express purpose of applying for and receiving section 31 double a funds appropriated for the fiscal twenty twenty six funding year under the act. Provided, however, such waiver is limited only to, I, a privilege that could be exercised by the board solely on behalf of the school district only in the event of a comprehensive investigation initiated by the governor in response to a mass casualty event as
defined in section 31 double a of the act. And double I, a mass casualty event is defined in the act that occurs during the funding years when the school district receives and expands the section 31 double a funds appropriated under the act or as part of the fiscal twenty twenty six funding year. In any case, the waiver of privilege provided by this resolution shall not extend beyond 09/30/2028. K. Now we need discussion. Alright. Hearing none, let's see. We need oh, roll call, please. Fortress? I'm sorry.
Yes. Fortress? Yes. Yes. Becker? Yes. Fox? Yes. The Froglers? Yes. Vincent? Yes. Motion carries six to zero. The next is the arrow, filter replacement. Can I have a motion? I move the Board of Education approve the district filter order in the amount of $5,250.36 as presented. Support. Motion by ID. Support by Monica. Is there any discussion? I asked a question last Monday if we bought all you there was a discussion
about we changed the filters three to four times a year. If we bought them in bulk, if there was a discount. I think Actually, it's three times a year. And, Greg said that that would cause too much of a storage issue and concern about the filters that we have. So it was not his recommendation to go forward on that. Thank you. Okay. Roll call now. Yes. Rodriguez? Yes. Yes. Yes. Becker? Yes. Fox? Yes. The third one? Yes. Yes. Motion carries, seven zero. I mean, can I get a motion for the purchase of the snowplow?
I move the Board of Education for the purchase of a boss snowplow. A boss not to exceed $8,473 to be funded through the district's general fund as presented. Is there a second? Support. Okay. Motion by Monica and support by April. Any discussion on Snowplap? Okay. Roll call. Fifteen? Yes. 3 18? Yes. Becker? Yes. Fortress? No. Yes. No. No. Motion carries four to three. Seeking fund approvals. Can I get a motion? I move the Board of Education to fill list the projects and authorize the administration
to move forward with scheduling. Second. A motion by Monica and second by Heidi. Any discussion? Just a reminder that this is approval for the RFPs. This isn't approval to correct them, so they or complete them. So you'll have an opportunity to get the RFPs next month in January. Make a determination from there if you wanna move forward right, and you'll look at the bids. I just wanna confirm this is coming from the seeking fund, not the general fund, Chris. This is seeking fund. Because it says on here funding source general fund, so I just wanted to Oh, it did not get changed. I apologize. Can we just talk about this so the public's aware Sure.
What they are. It's, renovations to the bathrooms at Advantage and Webb, Hoover Playground upgrade, upgrades to the Hazel Park High School welding room and United Oaks carpet replacement. Just on the floors, not on the rooms. And just one set of bathrooms at Advantage and Webb, we couldn't Do them all. Do them all. One at a time. This doesn't mean that there's not other projects we'll be doing with the sinking fund. These are the ones that we need to get out ahead and get bid and squared away financially.
Thank you. You already answered my question. You jumped it on. I was gonna ask if this is just for the RFPs, but it's for the thing. But you got it. Okay. Real quick, please. Yes. Martinez? Yes. Eaton? Yes. Becker? Yes. Fox? Yes. LaCroix, please? Yes. Yes. Motion carries, seven zero. Moving on to, the trip, the Toledo Art Museum trip. Can I have a motion? I move the Board of Education approve the trip to the Toledo Art Museum as presented. Second. Okay.
Motion by Monica, second by Heidi. Yes. Discussion? Hearing none, roll call. Yes. Board of Trust? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Motion carries seven zero. We have the AP course approval. I move the Board of Education to approve the pre AP algebra one and AP precalculus courses for implementation in the twenty twenty six, twenty twenty seven academic year. Second. Motion by Monica, second by Heidi for the AP course approval. Any further discussion?
Okay. Roll call. Brittney? Yes. Borges? Yes. Yes. Becker? Yes. Pratt? Yes. Affirmly? Yes. Yes. Motion carries seven zero. Next is the HP Course Handbook. I move the Board of Education approve the Hazel Park High School Handbook revision as presented. Support. Motion by Heidi. Support by Monica to approve the HPE course handbook. There's a lot of talk about how beautiful it was. I'd like to see it. It's they did it on one hand. Very nice. I hear you. Very strong. Is it okay if I help?
Yes, please. Yes. They, it was a wonderful collaborative, project they did with multiple peal people in the building as well as a consultant from the ISD. And, it's a strong tool, not just a course catalog, but also something that really can help kids and families understand the pathways at Hazel Park. In addition, this is just going to be Hazel Park High Schools. And then after this, we are going to duplicate this because the courses are the same for our alternative settings. So there will be one that represents our traditional high school and well as well
as our alternate. They do have to talk about one change in there. I wanted to make sure. It's really a minor change, but when they when I brought it to the board last week, the same, the same course overview was for two CTE courses. They just corrected it. So they're not appropriate. So no minor change or no major change. I'm just curious. So this version of it is the correct version that's in our workbook now? I do not believe so because I've just got these changes. So I will go ahead and check. Thank you. Alright. Thank you, doctor Domic.
Roll call. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Becker? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Motion carries seven zero. After school security. Motion? I move the Board of Education approve the hiring of two additional part time security guards for Hazel Park High School and Hazel Park Junior High as presented. Support. A motion by April, support by Monica to hire the security, and that's something that's new on the agenda. Discussion? I'm just here. Is this are we hiring two new people? Are we using current ones to fill this for after school time? Our staff usually has the ability to do it if they want, but the the
purpose of this would be to no longer have open and unlocked doors. We made this request last year about this time, so I think we've maybe confused the Longfellow conversation with remembering this. Right now, we're locked all day long, and then you open it up and kids can go just into the school anywhere. People can come anywhere at night. This way, the person will be at the door, will have the metal detector, and that person will be checking them in. When the kids after school go outside, they would come back in. So from three until an event was done that evening. Our people might request to do it, but we may find someone that's really interested
in some kind of part time work that can do that check. Are we fully staffed on health security positions in the district already? We certainly are not. So I question whether or not these two positions are gonna be filled if we can't even have a full staff in our schools now. One more concern about the fact that we'd have it out there in safety for our children because the doors are left unlocked at both the junior high and high school undone. And, so we'll be I I think some of our staff may be willing to do it, but I think we should we might get somebody that wants to do
it in the evenings part time to be at that door. It's pretty simple. You let them in and, we'll put a little desk there and and check it through. Is there, a metal detector at the junior eye? There is not, but there'll be probably a discussion next month. There's been some request for me about a metal detector here for safety as well as a reserve police officer and, a metal detector at the junior high. We've not had that conversation yet with the junior high. So what I'm concerned what my question, I guess, is the person is sitting there
and somebody comes through there with a weapon that they shouldn't have. Say, I'm doing that job. I wanna do that job. Is that person gonna be what are they gonna do? Are they gonna be brave enough to take that weapon? Do they call 911? They'll hit alert on their button that the stuff will go off. It'll be loud, and that person's probably gonna run. And The the same way if during the school day, you come in through a door and there's a weapon, and our our security guards are standing there right now. When we have our plays of band concerts, will every citizen have to walk through
those metal detectors? Yes. Same as they do for sporting events. At other places. Detectors for those. Yes. I don't think I'm not a fan of metal detectors, and I it's a false security. And Oxford wanted nothing to do with metal detectors. I have the whole article from there because, the lady in Detroit, she just went through a metal detector with a knife, and the person working there didn't do anything, and she passed the knife to her daughter who stabbed another girl. So it's false security. That person has to be have enough guts to do something if that person comes,
with a weapon. And, I also learned the gates were taken down at the high school. So when people come in there, they can wander through the whole building. They can go anywhere. And so once they get let in the door, who's gonna watch that they don't go down the hallway and vandalize or something? I just We do have the security and I did have the gates in my weekly update, and why that was done and why it had to be done for fire safety reason. We have, three quotes for doors that we'll bring to you next month to take a look at. I mentioned that I would talk about that in the community of the hall.
So we do have quotes for doors for going down into the athletic area and also going into the school building there, much like what we did in the cafeteria. But unfortunately, if anything would happen in the meantime and you left those up, you would be liable. They were told by fire marshals as well as our architect. So so what happens now at a drama or music event? Nothing. The doors are unlocked and everybody walks in. So is this particular person gonna be stationed at the front of the building or at the back of the building? Wait. How are people gonna know what door to access? Well, we'll communicate that.
That's where we they've been coming in. It's that back doorway now. So, they will come in the back. But we do have a metal detector if you really wanted to in the front as well. So we have one in the front, one in the back. Soon, we'll have two in the back, where they can come through. Okay. Anybody else? No. Okay. Roll call. Evening? Yes. Yes. Becker? Yes. Gorbachev? I just feel that, you know, in sporting events and stuff, we have security already there. And we do have people sitting at the, at the desk already at the metal
detector already. And I understand that, you know, the door is open now. But if it's the kids are coming in and out, there should be nobody in the building. And the people that are in the building should enforce it and have them leave. And if they're there for basketball, football, cheer, or whatever, they should be with their coach. So with that being said, I don't know. Facts? Yes. The prompters? No. No. Four to three motion carries. Let's see. We have board training. Action item. I move the Board of Education approve the board training as presented.
Second. Okay. Motion to approve the board training. I believe that's probably my monthly open schools. Mhmm. It is. Is there any discussion on that? I didn't get who who motion? I didn't. Or I said I motion. Motion. Okay. Any discussion? Okay. Roll call. Ruth Heath? Yes. Ordinance? Yes. Speaking? Yes. Specken? Yes. Fox? Yes. The firm, please? Yes. Yes. Motion carries seven zero. Next, we have board member conference reimbursement. I have a motion.
I move the Board of Education approve the expense reimbursement for the twenty twenty five leadership conference as presented. Is there a second? K. Motion by Monica, second by Heidi. Any discussion? I thought we already approved this. But, our practice was, to bring it back for final approval when it was submitted. The board certainly could look at the policies moving forward to not do that if you wish, but it also is transparent to the community about what was actually spent. So do we get them for everybody then? Because I've asked for them when things are ran through payroll.
They are, they're on your credit cards. You certainly, as a board, can choose to change that practice. Board members are a little different than staff members. A recall. I mean, recall. Oh my gosh. I think I have to abstain. Oh, yes. This is your money. Okay. Six. The one abstaining. You have to vote about it. You have to say yes. Oh, yes. Yes. I have a number six. She's still she's still up on the word. Let's see. Next, conference request over within $500 Can I have a motion? The Board of Education approved the conference request over 500 as presented.
Support. Motion by Monica. Support by Nate. Any discussion on this? Just a reminder that this is all covered by a grant with a wonderful opportunity for our social studies teachers to be able to travel to a conference in Washington, DC. All expense paid. Awesome. Not by the school. That's amazing. That's great. I'm excited for that. Okay. Roll call. Yes. Travis? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Motion carries seven zero. Next is readmission of students. I need a motion. I move the Board of Education approve the readmission of the students as presented. Support. Motion by Monica.
Support by Nate to raise admit students. Brokaw. Rajiv? Yes. Eckard? Yes. Deaton? Yes. Fortress? Yes. Fox? Yes. O'Brien Lewis? Yes. Vincent? Yes. Motion carries seven zero. Student discipline action item. I move the Board of Education approve the student discipline as presented. Second. Support by Monet and second by Heidi. May I have roll call, please? Yes. Audrey? Yes. Eugene? Yes. Evan? Yes. Fox? Yes. Montgomery? Yes. Yes. Motion carries seven zero.
Now we know the superintendent's report, doctor Wood. Yeah. We have two. Oh. I wrote it on the other agenda. It says writing on the I almost forgot to. I was getting ready. Okay. Okay. Q is For Don Sobeys. So I move the board of education to put a cap of 50,000 on Don Sobeys' work and revisit the topic when I had set them up. Say it again. I move the Board of Education to put a cap of $50,000 on Don Sobeys' work and have the board revisit the topic when it hits that amount. Support. Okay. Motion by Monica.
Support by April to put cap on, Dan Sobeys, program at $50,000 and to and to be revisited. Any discussion? I'm just in the original motion, and I don't remember, and I didn't let because it just came up. Didn't we cap it at 55? We didn't have any. That's why I wanted to do this. Okay. I thought we kept it at 55. Open ended. So we wanted not to exceed his current agreement. And then I'll read this I never read this. I'm not saying it's gonna be.
I thought we had capped it too, but that that's fine. Any other comments? I would at least like 75,000. Dan Sobey himself said that he expected it to take about 54,000. So given that on his oh, I'm I'm still talking. Yes. Given that on his original engagement letter, he was given a not to exceed and willingly exceeded it. I see no reason to give him an additional 20,020 thousand dollars over what he quoted us. We can revisit him at 50. There's no problem with that. He exceeded it by $3,000. And, it sounds like people on this area do not want to cooperate with him
and take his advice and work with him to get us material and get us on financial stability and give us a good budget. And where everybody in the district knows and the transparency involved in it. So I guarantee we are going to go for the 50,000 because no one seems to want to work with him. Then we can revisit it at 50,000. If he thinks that he's going to go over and above his own work estimate I'd love to have a meeting with missus Fortress and missus Ritti about who's not
working with them because we've attended every single meeting working with him and met some. So Anne responded very promptly in the time period that he's requesting. My only concern with this was we had a blank check currently. I wanted it to not be a blank check. When it hits fifty, we can talk. We're not saying it's not gonna be able to go further, but when it hits 50, I would like to talk. I would like to see the work that was done and go forward. And the plan was for him, he said around fifty. I have the original time we talked to him on the Zoom, and he said around fifty. So that's what I like to leave it up for now, and we can revisit
it. It's open ended to revisit. Okay. I have a quick question. Somebody said did you say 54,000? I think you said no. I I'd have to look at at the actual video to say it. But when we asked him questions when he was here to present, I think that he said he expected it to be around 54 because of administrative assistant costs. I mean, if if we're more comfortable going to 54, I guess that's one thing. But 75 is way too high. I was gonna say 55. Was gonna say 55. I would like to leave it at 50 for now only because there was already another item being asked to be put in here too and be paid for.
I'd like to leave it at 50. We can revisit it then. We can see what he needs. We can go back and forth. It it's a revisit. It's it's open to revisit. And what was the other item that was on here that our projection it's not on this, but we got sent to us. And we also got an email showing that this has already been done up until 2029. So I'm not sure whoever's spending more money on doing it again. I think it's fine to revisit it. I I don't see that's a problem. Thank you. But I I agree. And all of our agenda items that we have that, the administration presents to us,
we ask them to put caps on things. So So not to be seen. I don't think there's any problem with this, and we can easily revisit it if it's, you know, something that we we need to spend more money. Okay. Could you vote? Roll yeah. Let me come back. Yes. Katie? Yes. Becker? Yes. Borges? No. Fox? Yes. Yes. Yes. Six to one motion carries. R, enhancement millage. I make a motion to discuss the enhancement millage with Oakland's the ISD.
Support. There was a news article last week about a board member in Rochester getting census because she talked about this enhancement millage, which is, a proposal that Oakland the ISD is wanting to put on a ballot. What I understand is it's a flow through, and I'm wondering why our board never discussed it or talked about it, or how or I know they've already asked to
come back with a response, yes or no, and what our response was to that. We talked about the enhancement was when Catherine Cost was here as the interim superintendent. No. We did. No. We did. We did. She brought it to our attention. At least twice. So this is not, a vote by, Oakland Schools. In enhancement millage, the first step you do is bring the option to the board and the board votes about whether or not you even want to put enhancement millage on the table. And so that is a discussion. Both Macomb and Wayne have enhancement millages and are far exceeding our ability to pay
teachers. You know, enhancement millage works on a balance of the haves and have nots, kinda. As Hazel Park, you would get a little extra money, the other ones would get a little less. There's been no decisions that have been made. I wasn't at the last meeting, so I can't tell you, if there was any conversation at that point in time or not. I was visiting my grandson for his birthday, but it it was not brought to you. It was discussed briefly, with president Hinton that it was out there. But I did not choose to make that a conversation, there because it would come
back to you guys to vote. And that's what I'm waiting for, for it to come back to you to vote. Well, I think that was already that was discussed that the decision already had to be made by now. No. A decision has not been made. And the first step is that it comes to you as a board to decide whether you want the community to decide if they want it's kinda like the bond. Right? Yeah. You make a decision about whether you want, a bond and you'll get a presentation or whatever if that comes your way. And this was discussed several years ago.
Some of you went with maybe none of you went with me at that point in time, but some of our old members went with us, that West Bloomfield. There was a meeting with Union and everyone there. But, I was not here at the last meeting, so I did not have one on one private conversations with the board. So if it wasn't voted on yesterday, when is it when does it come? I don't know. I I can't answer that. I wasn't at the meetings. And I was gone for the whole year last year in the time period they started working out in January, and missus Clost, attended several meetings for that meeting.
I did not. So from watching that school and reading the newspaper, it it would be it would come on the ballot in August 2026, and boards were supposed to let Oakland School know in October if they thought it would, be good for their community. And that's, you know, what I've read and what I've listened to. But it's not until later, summer twenty twenty six is what they said. So I guess we need to look more into it.
That's what I want you, Bev. So that I was, wanting to know about the October date. I I don't believe that October date to be true. But Okay. Can we just I was not there. Can we just give but you but you weren't there with I went there, but, if there was discussion in a superintendent's meeting, a board of education would not be privy to a superintendent's meeting conversation. Well, if they were asking a superintendent to come back and ask their board, we wouldn't know the conversation. It would just be a request to come back and ask. So before October, they must not have asked you to come back to them with
a decision. I certainly when I have my next superintendent meeting, we'll update you on anything that I can give to you. But at this point in time, I was not present at that meeting. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. Alright. Now we're we have two superintendent report, enrollment fundraisers, ABK grant, donation to. Okay. So pretty excited about our November winners for ADK grant winner. Kim Blumke got Big Wheels for Adaptive PE class. I can't wait to see that. It looks fun. And Kimberly, got books for individual reading, for her class.
So, lots of fun. Congratulations on these teachers receiving the monthly grant awards for the 2526 school year from the Hazel Park chapter of ADKMU. These teachers will receive $50 to put towards their classroom. So that's pretty exciting. A reminder that we have holiday baskets. The, application is through December 1 at 3PM. If you live in the Hazel Park Ferndale Hazel Park Schools catchment area, then you are more than welcome to submit a holiday basket application. You can get those at any of your schools and you can also come up
to the board office. We have a canned food drive to supply, those holiday baskets and potatoes at, stuffing at Hazel Park Junior High, vegetables at and Park High School. That would be canned vegetables, please. Canned fruit at Webster and Edison. Cereal at Hoover. An advantage of pork is mac and cheese and PB and J. I encourage all of you guys to give if you have an opportunity. The teacher of the year, announcement is on, our our website. So if you would like to nominate an incredible teacher in Hazel Park Schools, we
encourage you to do so. We will nominate an elementary, a middle school, and high school teacher, to try to see if we can't catch one of those teachers of the year. Of course, we think all of our teachers are teachers of the year. The school board, many of you will attend the, 12/17/2025 at 6PM at Oakland Schools, a dinner and combined conversation with superintendents at that point in time. We also have the build up the park event, November 20 at United Oaks. This is titled dinner and data and is going to focus on math data and
how it connects to student growth. Our presenter, Tina Sperian, will guide families through understanding I Ready data, what it means for us as educators, and for parents learning at home. The event flyer has a QR code that allows early access to each student's I Ready data so parents can follow along with the discussion. There's dinner from 05:30 to six, presentation from six to seven, childcare so parents can fully engage, and 40 turkeys and food boxes for the first families who sign up, come, and attend the entire event.
On December 2, we have the opening of long fellow at 06:00. We encourage you all to join us. Then October 3, we have our post secondary night. We are so excited to present to our kids, December 3, from six to eight, to present to our students the various programs that they can go to such as Early Middle College, Firefighter Academy, Promise Zone will be there to talk about some of the changes and the awards that they're able to do to our staff. So it should be a great night. I hope you all consider attending. Pretty impressed, and I've heard there's some kids excited too.
On December 7, we will have the senior concert at the junior high from two to four. So encouraging you guys to come and join us and, celebrate with our seniors, great memories and a fun night. We also had a furniture donation, that occurred for Longfellow. And if you have any businesses or anyone along the way that's looking for, to get rid of racks, hanging items, hanging closets, furniture. If you're looking at getting rid of that office style because we do need to
have office style furniture, not, like couches from our homes, let us know. Missus Gressley would love to have those items. I have one thing on your fundraisers. I know it's probably a typo, but it says jingle jog. It's jingle jog. And we're super excited to have that jogging fundraiser. That those are fun for the kids, healthy for the kids, goes along with our wellness, and, and a whole lot of fun. I might be jogging with them. So was that furniture donated to Longfellow, or was it multiple schools? That was donated to Longfellow. Okay. Is there another one for multiple schools?
So the p two p program was not pre funded? Oh, that was yes. Yes. Okay. So those desks will stay in those schools. Oh, nice. Okay. The p two p, is that who gave turkey dinners? Yeah. Yeah. That's incredible. Nice. Yes. And I they haven't sent me the company yet. They were supposed to so that I could bring a letter to you guys to thank them in kind. So, yes, Hoover, everybody received a free turkey dinner, and our p two p worker who's been fantastic had it donated for us. The p two p workers are a huge loss. P two p workers came from the county to help work on attendance.
It linked us to the county so that we could see and work with families that were involved in truancy. They were not funded, so, unfortunately, that's a loss to us. We've had them the whole time this year. You're great. Alright. Did you misenrollment? Did you start in the middle? No. I didn't put an enrollment in, in this month. It's just on the paper. Yes. With fundraisers and and not a convention, but one. But okay. Any questions you have for me? Interesting. Can we do that after closed session at the end? Sure. Board member administration comments? Questions? Done? Okay. We need a motion to go into closed session.
I'll motion to go into closed session for eight c, strategy negotiations with, collective bargaining agreements. Support. I'm going into this session. Roll call. I was late. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Does the motion carries something where else? No. I'll make the motion to come back to open session. Support. Yes. Yes. Yes. Ortiz? Yes. Ortiz? Yes. Fox? Yes. Richie? Yes. Yes. Motion carries seven zero. Request for future agenda items.
Anybody have any? No. No? Calendar dates? Remember our next meeting will be December 1. Mister Sobe will be presenting at that meeting for thirty minutes, he said, which will be the outcome of, the teachers and administrators that have been invited for that day to come. And then you will get a student system of support presentation from Doctor Papazian, Doctor Domage, and Mrs Gressley, as well as a safety conversation in closed session. Thanks. Okay. Next is, public comment.
And there isn't anyone here, so we'll move on to board member and administration comments. If you don't mind, I'll start. I wanna say congratulations to all the students of the month. Again, I love this every month. I know Preston talked a lot about the high school. It was great to hear from him. He always seems to give just the right amount of information to us, and I'm also super excited for winter sports. I was over at the high school earlier, and I saw sideline had over 30 cheerleaders, and then the competitive also had a bunch of cheerleaders. So that was super awesome to see so many girls coming out.
I wanna say congratulations to the dancers. They had their first dance competition yesterday all the way out in Lake Orion. They did awesome. And then they have their first home competition, December 6. And the only other thing, we kinda talked about when we're talking about Don Sobe, setting up a meeting, I would like to set up something with, Heidi and doctor Wilcox and I and Don Sobe, if possible. Forgot about that. So can we do that on the first, the one that's here? No. We have a full day with staff and with administrators. So two different meetings with administrators, then then staff, and he has to have time
in between there to to get his presentation ready. I mean, I mean, I'm with the Zoom or something. I don't know. Yeah. I'll I'll reach out to you guys and find a time that works on your schedule and and then work on his. Okay. Debbie, do you have anything? Just a couple of things. I meant to mention last week, and I didn't, I went to the play. It was phenomenal. The special effects were fabulous. They're not even like scary movies, and I think that was the best play they did. So I really enjoyed that. Congratulations to the marching band. And another teacher, he won a Facebook thing to get some something for his classroom.
I saw it. I'm not gonna say, but he he did win something for is that culture and classroom culture or something? Hoover? Well, it it wouldn't be part of your, your board policies would not support people going outside of nonapproval. So maybe you didn't see it. I didn't see it. Have to address that. Sorry. Didn't happen. It's great. But that is part of your policy. You have to decide if you want that changed as well. Anybody else? April, Heidi, Darren? I just like to say, kudos to Jordan.
They did an amazing presentation. I was just so impressed with the students coming and talking. It's hard enough to speak in front of an audience and they did amazing. Busy, end of the year, lots of stuff going on. Well, we got seven days of school left. Mhmm. So Thanksgiving break and then after that, it's two week two and a half weeks and then Christmas is here. Breaks here. Don't say Christmas. Don't say that. It's early this year, it seems. Just wanna wish everybody a happy Thanksgiving. And I know, doctor Wilcox said about applications for holiday baskets and accepting donations for
that. Can we do, monetary donations? You certainly can. Yes. And and they would appreciate that to help offset the cost of the hands. Okay. Is that made out to Hazel Park Schools or is there a basket? It resides in a, in an activity fund. So I would write holiday baskets on the memo. Okay. So if people want it, they can That'd be fantastic. Perfect. Hey, April. Thank you. No. I think tonight's meeting is really about the students, really to keep it positive about them. It's amazing to see students of the month.
It's amazing to hear the achievements that are happening in our schools. And thank you to Jardan for that presentation. Dave? Yes. I think I love these nights when we get to see all the students. The students are the most excited and nervous they are. And, you know, the presentation from the Hazel Park, the high school rep and Jarnon, like like Heidi said, that takes a lot of courage to get up there in front of everybody. And, that was exciting to see. Piggybacking on Debbie, the play was a lot of fun. That was a really cool experience.
And STEM night was a blast at the junior high. Had an astronomer come in, gave a really good presentation, answered a ton of questions. There was a lot of people there. That was a lot of fun. That's all I got. Happy Thanksgiving. Darren? I'm fine. Thank you for letting me be a part of it, and have a great evening. That's a wrap. Fox out. Thank you for inviting me, Alex. That's a wrap. I like it. Motion to adjourn. Or oh, you haven't. Sorry. I didn't. No. I think I gave you a long enough report? Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and, remember, be kind.
And there's lots of ways to give. And I do wanna tell you that we did have some lock leftover boxes of from last week, and we will do another, pickup in December, after Thanksgiving but before gleaners again. So there's plenty of food to go around. So you did cover a lot of fun, important things. That was a good report. I just was gonna say how proud of the district for the forgotten harvest and the gleaners taking care of, our families with the food situation that's happened with the
SNAP benefits. And, I did see the pictures on Facebook, and our staff was out there working, and our Jardine students were out there. And it's just really nice to see the coming together of everybody to help our our families and our kids. And, happy Thanksgiving. Now can I motion to a different Yes? Okay. Second. Alright. I'll take care. I'll see you last week. Don't don't forget.
