Powers a second by Dr mario all those in favor i I motion approved hey I have a student report oh I'm sorry we have a board member discussion first the consent agenda
we approve i move approval of the consent agenda okay second motion by Miss Power second by Miss Russell all those in favor i I motion carries now we go
to board member discussion um yeah so in my I don't know wandering around um I discovered that parents day is something that has been observed and celebrated in the United States since
1994 i gave you some information about that um and I was wondering if the board had any interest in doing a proclamation it would be the fourth Sunday in July so we would probably do it at the July meeting if there was any interest it's fine with me
i'd like to talk about it a little bit i would like to possibly make it a month in October because July parents it's we're off for the for the summer and we could call it a parental appreciation month i love your idea i just think we
should give it more recognition that it deserves that's my humble opinion and make it a proclamation that October becomes parental appreciation month that's my two cents with that
yeah I'm good with that be great thank you we can still acknowledge in July i just think the impact is greater in October we can still do a July for the day to honor it but then in October do parental
appreciation thank you thank you jamie Paulson with our student update thank you so to start with Jensen Beach High School the Jensen Beach High School Key Club recently participated in March for Babies events raising over $1,200 funds help support Nikki Babies

County School District and it's my pleasure to bring you this month's district update starting off with Palm City Elementary School they recently hosted their exciting career day event giving students a hands-on look at a variety of careers ranging from
underwater diving to golf course management to emergency services and healthcare career Day is one that speaks uh sparks curiosity and helps introduce students to the many possibilities that exist for their future we're grateful to
the local professionals who made the day so engaging and inspiring for our students let's now watch a quick video recap of the event we will listen to her heart kind of right behind her elbow today is our second annual career day and we have
over 60 presenters along with our Martin County Sheriff deputies with our K9 unit and then we just have the fire trucks coming around right now we have a golf professional we have um engineers we have a pastry chef we had an underwater diver we have
um CPAs we have physicians we have just a mix of everything a landscape engineer architect um just more and more keep getting added i work at an e mergency and urgent care hospital so we do very little wellness stuff but we do a lot of
sick animals at the elementary level it's all about career interest and exploration so we have Zello is something that we use here but then just bringing everything to life with career day with our own parents and community members really just our kids interest and because dogs and cats can't talk we
have to go through a list of diagnostics to try to figure out what might be wrong with them and sometimes that involves X-rays i hope that uh they have a little bit more direction and they might not pick their career today i don't think that they're going to do that but they
might have an idea of what field they want to go in anybody else have any questions we're just really grateful to our community for coming out again we had just so many parents that were happy to be here and asking if they can do more and uh next year maybe we will have more
[Music] second grade teacher Tiffany Hughes of Seawind Elementary School was recently recognized by CBS12 in their new teacher feature series for her exceptional commitment to her students a dedicated educator for over 18 years Miss Hughes
is known for building strong relationships organizing schoolwide events and tailoring her teaching to meet each child's unique needs her passion and love for teaching make her a standout in our district and a role model for all of our educators let's watch the story that recently
aired all right we've got a special teacher we are highlighting this morning in our new teacher feature segment here on AR Florida yeah we're going to be highlighting teachers and other educators within our local school districts who are going above and beyond both in the classrooms and in the everyday lives of our students and our
Danny Travis joins us in Martin County where our next teacher is considered a model for best instructional practices and positive student relationships that's right our next teacher in Martin County Elementary School now right now
we're outside and the amazing thing about Tiffany she's been a teacher here for 18 years and continues to go above and beyond both in the class and events in the right way
the right way excellent job a U fantastic why second graders what calls you to teach you know the youngest students here in the school it's the perfect age honestly um they're just they soak everything in they're um
they're eager to learn and it's just it's a fun day so you are known for your immense love and support towards all of your students how do you go about making them feel that way um I love and each one of them in a different way they're all different they all have their challenges they all have their their
needs so loving each one in a different way helps me with them each and every day to help them grow and just have a love so we are told that your lessons are not only accelerated but also engaging so why is that important for students especially at the second grade
level so students that are seven and eight years old it's very important to hold their attention for a long period of time so having engagement structures and having a structured day is very important to keep them focused and engaged throughout the day so let's talk more about PBIS we told that you do lead
this initiative what exactly is it and why is that important here in elementary school so PBIS is positive behavior intervention system and it is very important to us because it's we run our dazzling dolphin monthly through it we have many um incentives throughout the
year um we have um uh fun Fridays we have freezer pop celebrations we have cookies for character and all of these things um help the students make better choices each and every day i love getting inside these classrooms and seeing these teachers and just the
impact that they're having last week our students and teachers across the district kicked off Math Week 2025 with excitement and hands-on learning each day featured district-wide math challenges career spotlights and fun competitions for all grade levels
from accountants to meteorologists and every career in between students explored real world applications of math and a special shout out to the district's coordinator of math Dr paige McMahon who was here at the podium earlier for organizing Math Week a tradition that she hopes will eventually
stretch across the entire state of Florida let's now watch one of the daily videos that was shown to students as part of this year's Math Week hello Martin County School District students and welcome to MCSD Math Week this week we're celebrating math and
exploring the many careers that use it in different ways each day we'll introduce a new math topic and a daily challenge where you can compete against students across the district scan the QR code or visit the link to play a quick math game and earn a special prize
teachers there's a challenge for you too join in and see who will be crowned the MCSD daily math challenge champion now let's hear from some real world mathematicians you might be surprised who uses math every day my name is meteorologist Sammy Squires and I work
for NDC and Fox and I use math every day in my job to become a meteorologist you have to go to school for either meteorology or atmospheric sciences there's a few different paths that you could take but a lot of our job has to do with math in fact a lot of
meteorologists actually have a math minor so I went to Florida State and I was there for three and a half years and ultimately finished through Mississippi State which 33% of meteorologists actually graduate from Mississippi State
as a meteorologist I work with numbers on a daily basis i come up with the forecast so I compare and contrast using different weather models and of course the computers now do a lot of that math for us but I have to input the numbers
that go into our sevenday so I'm constantly looking at averages and coming up with that 7-day forecast so rain chances right that's probability and we use probability of precipitation also known as a pop so we use that on a
daily basis and what the pop actually means is the probability that a specific area will receive a little bit of measurable rainfall hi I'm Joel Spece i work for the Maranni Group we actually built the gymnasium we're doing the interview in today i'm a senior project
manager i went to university at Kennesaw State up in Atlanta with a four-year degree in construction science so our entire job is based around math how tall the building is the foundations to something as simple as making sure
that this floor is flush with this floor see the wood flooring here is multiple layers and we have to understand how tall each layer is so that way we have to recess this concrete slab so when we build it back up with the wood flooring
we have a nice smooth flush transition so we recess the slab long before we even have the materials for it and last but certainly not least last month on March 27th our district hosted its 49th annual Music in Our Schools concert at Martin County High School
students from across our district united in a powerful celebration of music music education the event showcased the extraordinary talent of our students and the dedication of our music educators families packed the Dawnwall and Arena to enjoy the performances and for those
who were unable to attend let's again watch a quick video recap and I promise you you are in a treat tonight tonight's performances are a testament to the dedication perseverance and passion of our students in these
seats tonight as well as the commitment of our exceptional music educators please let's give them a round of applause [Applause]

wherever you scroll we're on all social media platforms thank you Derek since we are at five o'clock I'm going to ask uh Superintendent Maine if we can stop for public comment okay citizen input is vital to the
improvement of our district most times your remarks may be listened to without comment from the board members or superintendent this does not mean they are heard with any less intensity or concern where appropriate the superintendent and staff will investigate your comments and report
back to you and the board with an answer we thank you for taking the time and having the concern to make our district better your presentation to the board should not exceed three minutes letters or statements from others not present can be given to our clerk who will be sure that each schoolboard member and
the superintendent receive a copy to keep our record straight and authentic our policy does not permit you to read the statements of others into the record our first public speaker is Charlie Fetty did I say that
right felty hello good afternoon my name is Charlie Felty my son Ree is a seven-year-old in second grade within the ESC department at Bessie Creek he has been in ESC since he was three and a half in VPK in
kindergarten he began at Bessie Creek and many of those kids are still in his class today this brings me to my primary topic I would like to address reese has always found his school family to be a place of comfort and safety until this year one day in the fall he came home upset that his teacher's tooth had been
broken by a student that was the start of a series of events I never would believe to be allowed within a classroom environment here at Martin County School District my son with ADHD autism and auditory processing deficits has to stay focused through repetitive explosive outbursts towards students pair
professionals and his teacher i have written no less than five emails regarding my concerns about these issues starting with school administration eventually progressing to the district ESSE personnel and yourselves just prior to winter break minimal changes have
occurred my stson son still comes home with pleas for this student to stop screaming because it hurts his ears he often voices that he wishes he could be in a different space so that he can hear his teacher and learn he is often afraid of things hitting him that are being thrown and voiced excitement when
finally about six weeks ago this student's chair was secured to the desk so it cannot be thrown at him so easily what are we supposed to do as parents when we feel our special needs child is being held hostage in this type of situation do my son's needs not matter what happened to the right to a
violence-free learning environment in closing navigating medical needs therapies educational needs and family dynamics is already hard enough for special needs families safety within my child's classroom should not be on our regular list of daily challenges thank
you thank you Melinda Balt good afternoon my name is Melinda Bol my daughter Violet and her twin brother Tristan attend Bessie Creek Elementary in the same second grade ESC class
excuse me violet has cereble palsy which has affected her mobility while Tristan is non-verbal with autism every single day Violet fights multiple battles to do the simple things that most of us take for granted getting dressed brushing her teeth eating things that seem simple to us are mountains for her and yet she
shows up with strength beyond words school has always been her safe place where she felt supported included and protected this changed this year her classroom has become unsafe i am among a group of parents who witnessed a teacher and pair professionals being physically
and verbally attacked not once not twice but repeatedly by a student who clearly needs a different level of care the children witness these outbursts on a daily basis and the constant exposure has had a profound negative impact on each of them both emotionally and
academically this is not about blame this is about the safety and well-being of all involved these are children with special needs and they deserve to feel secure in the one place that's uniquely designed to help them grow we loved our school the teachers and the services our children have received until this year
as a group of concerned families we've communicated with the district administration and superintendent regarding the dangers of this situation and despite repeated urgent pleas for help we've been met with silence now we're bringing our concerns directly to you as board members i've recently
learned that the district has decided to dismantle our ESC class that's grown together and built strong bonds over the last three years placing a majority of them in an environment that will struggle to accommodate their individual learning needs and let me be clear separating my twins as it is planned is
not an option as a mother I will not choose between their safety and their education they deserve both and it is my job to ensure that's what they receive if Violet were able to speak to you herself she would share that the Martin County School District is not providing a safe environment that allows her and
her friends to learn and grow i'm certain that none of you are aware of just how urgent this issue is as you can clearly see it impacts the most vulnerable children in the district and commands decisive action these are real children real families please find a solution that prioritizes the best
interests of all of the kids a solution that considers the unique interests of each child the hard fought progress they've achieved and how easily that progress can be undone when stress and fear invade their environment as parents of children with special needs we're a
resilient and reasonable bunch we are open to conversation and ideas but we must empathize respectfully our deeply held conviction that inaction is simply not an option we're looking to you to prioritize the safety and well-being of all students that's what every parent
rightfully expects that's what every child rightfully deserves thank you for your time thank you Alec McIntyre uh greetings good evening superintendent and school board members my name is Alec McIntyre i'm a Martin County educator
for 19 years and proud Jensen Beach Falcon i'm here on behalf of my colleagues uh recently my wife and I who's also an educator had conversations with community members about the state of education and it's been a very positive
experience um and we wanted to say thank you for taking the time to discuss concerns it's appreciated and it is important to try and build relationships now there is a vote on current teacher retirement health
benefits that could place a sunset on those in 2038 so tonight I would like you to challenge you to think about your legacy perhaps in 2038 a future board will reinstate the cut
benefits perhaps not you have an opportunity to cement your legacy tonight and at the May school board meeting where the potential adoption could take place will your legacy be the board that saved some money at the expense of the
educators in Martin County or will your legacy be the board that teamed up with educators fulfilled a commitment and helped strengthen the foundations of this community thank you thank
you Heather Rogers good evening superintendent board members and members of the community i'm here tonight to speak out against House Bill 5101 and to ask the board our superintendent and our public to join me in calling our elected officials to oppose it
hb5101 isn't just another education bill it's a direct threat to opportunities our public schools provide and to the future programs that our students rely on to succeed if passed this bill would jeopardize state funding for Advanced Placement AP Advanced International
Certificate of Education ACE and Career and Technical Education CTE programs these aren't extras they are vital tools that prepare students for college for a workforce and for life beyond graduation they help our students earn college credits industry certifications and
build skills that truly matter and just as importantly as these programs are one of the few competitive advantages our public schools have we use AP ACE and CTE offerings to attract and retain students students who might otherwise
choose charter schools homeschooling and private institutions when families see that our public schools offer rigorous highquality real world learning pathways they choose to stay here that matters not just for our students but for our entire district
hb5101 threatens to take that away by reducing or eliminating the weighted funding that supports these programs the bill makes it impossible for districts to offer these classes grow these programs or maintain them that means fewer options for students fewer
supports for teachers and a public education system that becomes less competitive and less effective this bill takes decisions away from local school boards from educators and from communities and puts them in the hands of politicians in Tallahassee that is absolutely unacceptable we voted for
local control and this bill takes that out of our county so tonight I'm asking our board our superintendent and our public to act first contact John Schneider and ask that he votes no on HB5101 his phone number is
850-717-5086 or email him publicly oppose this bill and stand up for AP ACE IB and CTE programs encourage others in our community to speak out because we are stronger when we speak together we cannot afford to lose these programs that make our schools strong we cannot
afford to let this bill pass without a fight and as all of you have direct contact to the elected officials you are able to use your voices and your positions to stand up for the kids in this county the teachers in this county and consider doing this to attract more
people to stay here thank you thank you Nancy Tur good afternoon superintendent and members of the school board i am here with just a quick update as many of you know I am the executive director of Martin Arts which is your local arts
agency a nonprofit arts organization serving our community for the last 45 years uh in two weeks from today on the 29th of April we have our 39th annual high school jured art show awards evening held outside at at the gazebo
next to the Courthouse Cultural Center the exhibits inside the awards will happen outside if the weather cooperates um and everyone is invited to be there i have postcards for anybody who wants those um this is quite a legacy in our
community and next year will be the 40th anniversary so we'll be celebrating that as well as inviting alumni a retrospective of alumni from over those 40 years into an exhibit later in 2026 and the Martin Arts Awards are
Marty's our nominations are open as you all know we have uh recognitions and scholarships for students who are going into their senior year this August in the performing the literary and the visual arts last year's award winners uh
were Sam McCully Tediana Bilicon in the literary arts Sam was in the performing arts and Matine Jensen in the visual arts and I am sure that this year's candidates will be no less wonderful and amazing as last year's were those
nominations are due May 1st the nomination is a simple process students name basic contact information and a couple sentences about why they're so incredible and then we pass that we get in touch directly with the students um awards are given to professionals as
well and then the students complete the rest of the application and we have a panel of local judges in the field and in the community who make the selections the awards event will be held at the Lyric Theater on November 9th so just a couple of dates to mark on your calendar
and I hope to see you there thank you Nancy that's all of our public comments superintendent Maine thank you Madam Chair um I did uh want to briefly just uh if if you're okay
with this uh Madame Chair to address a couple of the parents in the audience tonight in reference to the students with disabilities uh and students that are at Bessie Creek uh so I do want everybody to know that uh staff has been involved uh from the get-go with this process uh the two ESC coordinators have
been out to observe the class and uh provide opportunities for additional training for the both classroom teacher as well as the paraprofessional uh we've also been working with school administration in addition to making sure that behavior techs have been out uh to the classroom to observe and
provide assistance uh when needed i will say that uh it is a slippery slope because like any parent I do value and understand where you are coming from and your students definitely have the right to be safe in a classroom setting as do all students uh but we also cannot just
remove a student who also is allowed an equal and opportunity uh to an education and so council is working on this and advising us as far as how best to proceed forward but while students are in ourstead we will move forward in properly making sure that all students
are provided uh a free and appropriate education uh per their IEP i will also let you know that at any time uh you are able to come in and observe the classroom setting with a member of our team uh to watch and see what is going on in the classroom uh the classroom is
is open and free for you to be able to take that opportunity so I'd like to connect you uh with staff before you leave today to maybe arrange uh for that opportunity okay all right without further ado Madam Chair I'll move into um my superintendent's update first want to thank our future
readiness and action team they did an incredible job those students are always uh wonderful to hear from and I also would like to thank the regional Odyssey of the Mind office uh for their OMR award but uh with that aside it is just the the amount of students that have joined Odyssey of the Mind this started
a couple of years ago when my uh former fourth grade teacher reached out to me from Bvard County and said "You're now the superintendent in Martin County doesn't participate in Odyssey of the Mind." And we needed to change that so in a very short period of time we went from no teams participating to the
number of students that you see here today that are competing at a very high level state level uh and regional level and Mrs melissa Gerting regrets every day that she called me to tell me that we needed to get the Martin County School District participating in Odyssey
of the Mind so uh if you're watching this Mrs girding uh we're coming for you and Bvard County uh watch out so with that being said uh five essentials survey is now open beginning today we have launched our annual satisfaction and engagement surveys for students
families and teachers these surveys developed in partnership with the University of Chicago gather critical feedback across five key areas that directly impact student success the five key areas are effective leadership collaborative teachers involve families supportive environments and ambitious
instruction so we are encouraging all of our stakeholders and all of our parents to go online take the surveys via the link that are going out on social media from your families and from your schools because we take that feedback the principles put that feedback into action they problem solve on that feedback and
immediately begin the improvement process for the next school year uh it's important for families to know that in order to get results the survey does require a minimum number of participants for uh statistical validity so we do encourage as many of you to take those
surveys as possible uh link can also be found on our district website martinschools.org if you cannot find it on your students social media page or school social media like to move on to the superintendent scholarship winner this was a phenomenal experience a
wonderful day and morning to be able to go out and for the last two years now select a student that receives uh this scholarship the graduating senior in our district receives the superintendent scholarship and it is provided in partnership by Florida Prepaid this
$8,000 award is lifechanging and this year I had the privilege of surprising a South Fork High School senior Janice Dah with the news uh Janice has faced significant challenges in her life yet she has maintained a weighted GPA above
a 5.0 O and has earned admission to her dream school Florida Atlantic University where she plans to study design she is a very unique young lady and it was a pleasure speaking to her um her story is one of resilience and definitely inspiration and we're very proud of her
and I'd like to uh show you this short video and this year we have the senior for the entire district here in this classroom uh that I would like to present this award to this individual uh blew the committee away as a matter of fact I
read through the narrative multiple times and was very touched by the story that this individual has and uh the adversity that this uh student has overcome um in her history and in her life and it is gives me no greater honor
or pleasure than to present this year's superintendent scholarship to Miss Janice D this is for you and this allows you to have a scholarship to attend the Florida Atlantic University which I know you've applied to and has been accepted to just
push herself and to go from being a student who struggles with disabilities to a student that has over a 5.0 0 weighted GPA um you know 3.99 unweighted just just really touched my heart i was not really sure how I'll pay for my
college even though I was planning to try and get federal aid even though I've been a bit late on it i was quite nervous for a while and I thought maybe I might have to take a lot more loans and have to experience going through a
lot of debt i would like to like express my designs into a way that it can help other people and other businesses be able to create items for
possibly to help like basically to help companies and help other people thrive based off of my ideas and some ideas that they want to be created to life means so
much i look forward to shaking her hand at graduation as she walks across that stage i got goosebumps again uh I'm also proud and honored to be able to share that Mrs sarah Tutill principal at Felix A williams Elementary was named as a top
three finalist for principal of the year for state of Florida um very proud of this honor and to recognize her it's a tremendous honor that recognizes her exceptional leadership her dedication to her students and staff and the strong
culture of excellence that she has built at her school when Sarah took over at Fouy they were a C school and in one year they went from a C to an A and have maintained that A status under her leadership for the last few years this past week Sarah and I along with other members of our team traveled to Orlando
where the top three principal of the year nominees were recognized by the Department of Education um we are sad to say that Tara Sarah excuse me did not take uh the number one spot uh but we think we got robbed because uh Sarah definitely is top-notch it went to a
high school principal uh in Collier County but without you know we just we're just proud of Sarah and wish her the very best and uh being top three out of thousands of principles in the state of Florida is is an honor and last but certainly not le certainly not least
excuse me I'm tongue tied too um Miss Pritchette gearing up for graduation um we are gearing up for this year's uh class of 2025 to walk across that stage graduations at all three of our comprehensive high schools will take
place the week of May 19th for a few weeks now we have been shouting out our seniors on social media platforms so if you have a senior out there and you wish to have that done uh hopefully it's not too late to do so it's incredible to see and hear about all that the class of
2025 has accomplished we are proud of them and to be part of their success story and I look forward to all of our upcoming graduation ceremonies at this time this concludes my superintendent's update thank you Superintendent hey does the board have any questions
for any of the other information only reports miss Roberts um yeah I had a question about the strategic plan committee board update i know in strategic team two the next step
includes um community engagement nights can we get an update on that mr raymond is that your Okay so doc Dr miller if you're able to provide an update we had a transition with Mrs cessa to Mr mr raymond and so Dr miller will need to
give a quick update and if we don't have that update Mrs roberts we we will need to get back with you on that good evening yes thank you Mrs roberts the committee 2 is looking at the idea and would like is interested in board
input and your thoughts about inviting community partners into schools to become more a part of what's happening at the school sites so they are looking for reinvisioning the having a collaboration with the local chambers of
commerce to invite businesses in to see what's happening in our schools one of the things that we found out is often community and business partners want to help they're just not really sure exactly how to help so the concept of bringing people in to see what's happening in our schools is part of
their idea and would like to to really know what people think about that kind of idea bringing people into the schools to see what's happening okay so I just didn't know the timing because I know it this is like as noted in quarter two and I know
we're in April now i just didn't know what your timing was for that i believe the committee is looking at starting this for next school year but interested in knowing if this is a concept and idea that you would like for them to pursue if it's something because I we do know
that you all participate in your local chambers you have relationships with them if this is something that you too believe that our local business partners would be interested in if it is the committee would be happy to pursue putting something like that together
so yes I would be interested and I'm sure my chamber would be too thank you so is that something we could discuss at a workshop to move that ahead certainly and I think I think now that staff has
heard collectively if if everybody is on board we'll go ahead and have them make those arrangements to move forward that think of it as a Martin leadership uh but on a larger scale specifically for the district and individual schools okay thank
you any other Dr mari yes thank you Madam Chair uh I just wanted to ask Mr serest about the uh pool if that's okay under one of those information reports can you give us an update on where we're at on the
pool and its uh improvements well good afternoon madam chairs school board members and superintendent Maine i'll give you a quick update um currently the electrical items are being installed as they come in i will say it's a challenge

items that work will begin quickly um and we put a time frame on there of having it done before August so as long as it gets approved and the market doesn't go crazier than what it is we'll be okay but right now we're scheduled to be on time okay so if Yeah if there's a
concerned parent out there that's interested basically we're still on time for for next season for the swim and I will provide the board an update you know once we get to that June July time frame but right now we're we're scheduled to be on time it's just a challenging market right at the moment
