Okay. In life, the most successful people are others who work hard to accomplish their goals. The fourth grader that I nominated as one of March's student of the month is definitely just perfect. This student is Michael Bracey. Michael has seven students. Whoo. Michael has demonstrated outstanding perseverance throughout for fourth grade. Each morning and afternoon, he always walks into the classroom, determined to get his work done. Michael completes all of his assignments to the best of his abilities, earning Todd Marks, and always turns in his assignments as well.
He is full of enthusiasm from everything we do and always has a super positive attitude. Throughout class, he is always stepping into a really good role. For a careful he gets into a teacher like role by explaining to his group members how to solve math problem or complete the activities as well as helping students through a rough moment in order to get them that high cash. Due to him stepping into this leadership role, the other students respect him and look to him for help and help him. He consistently completes his assignments with effort and determination even when tasks are challenging.
Michael demonstrates all of the capturing his heart traits. Michael shows respect, courage, kindness, and integrity in everything he does. He also has a willingness and ability to take ownership of his own thoughts, words, and actions by always doing the right things. In addition, he is always accountable for his choices and understands how those choices impact himself and all of this. Michael also manages and organizes his time and resources very well by completing his assignment and being prepared. Lastly, Michael is an active member of our student council, member of the three team,
and he also participates in academic teams. So he's a pretty boy, but still gets everything done. He makes a difference not only in my class, but throughout the building. All of the teachers that I'm saying believe that every class needs a student just like him and to learn just I'm assuming that we would like to honor her
messenger. It's in this house and this data's class, and miss Graham is going to announce that student for us. This young man is going to be someone. Stay tuned because he will definitely be the proud leader of our community. And his teachers have so much to say in regards to his personality. And his teachers have so much to say in regards to his personality. Jermaine is a silly joker. He's fond of a young man who enjoys learning by hand on activity.

as well. She walks down the hallway quietly, and I always get a bill report from her special interest. She follows the paper away. She Next, I would like to call Faith Road.
He's not a lover. I chose Chase as student of the month for several reasons. I can count on Chase to live up to the agreement in our social contract. Our social contract also consists of students love the attention during instructional time and on their assignments. We also have that students must give their best offers. In class, I can always see Chase completing his assignments even though he is well
on for a free reading level for both reading and math, but he still gives me the respect and pays attention to follow along even though he understands that he gets all of the lessons. Yeah. We can clap it up for him. He works very good independently and also in small groups. I would like to also give thanks to Chase's parents who get some support at home. They come on field trips.
They come to pair social conferences. And, overall, Chase is a well rounded scholar and a strong model of our third grade community. I am glad to be his teacher this year. It's a great it's a great pleasure to introduce my friend and colleague, the proud principal of Peave Elementary School, mister Beller. Alright. Good evening, everyone.

We have Charles Smith, a member of the legendary class of 2027. Charles was nominated by miss Wood. According to miss Wood, Charles is an outstanding young man. He is very well spoken, willing to assist his fellow classmates.
Charles can literally teach my world history classes, and I envision a very bright future for this young man. Charles is an exceptional and mature eleven thirty scholar who continues to represent the very best of OTHM. As an only child, he credits his deserve to the guidance and honesty of his mother, who has assumed and has been important to living life with purpose, target, no regrets, and never giving up on his hopes and dreams.

Beyond the classroom, Charles enjoyed playing chess, creating music from digital platforms, participating in crop this is my first year in Oak Park. Wow. The support was the next time from the second that I walked through the door. I was getting paid in to be a better man. Congratulations. Okay. I would like to express how much I love to see the students being recognized
for their work and great effort. Congratulations to everyone today. We're now gonna take a three three minute recess for those of you who are still at the time. Thank you. Okay. We're now gonna go to item number five, superintendent search. So, actually, we're gonna do item three, but it's a limit by a VFR first. Okay. Alright. So we have doctor Rob Green here. Consultant with the student's replacement of the school board. And the last question, Alright.
We're now gonna go to mister John Silvery, regional president of Michigan. Welcome. The contract is called I guess I'm probably not. What you all look over and do let me Okay. Actually, I have a few questions. The first question is something. I think, moment, when when you have one. I recall that's when the auditors were here.
So what you're presenting tonight is the answer to the question. Like, this is the amendment. Well, now we have to do this, like, a more resonant, so we'll get amendment. And these are projected. Is this a replacement from the file use of the audit? Because I recall it was, over a total. Okay. Under the regular cycle, why do the state do drop? Is it because of enrollment? So now that we have, we know what our enrollment is and we know, where
we are and where we're going to, hopefully correct. What is the goal, other than the few that you mentioned in regards to the freezing, you know, to make So I put on a different impact, of the budget
for all the new positions. So how many so how many FTEs was the original budget based on that? Thank you, miss. I think the business is transparency and honesty is, is knowing that we we do to be, nobody can do that. Right? And we can is some stuff about broken pipes and other things.
We're not gonna do it. We're not water and, you know, a lot of things, but also that they have high to top like that. So you look at things further away from classrooms and buildings first, and then we start customer Tyler.
She visited I mean, if you visited our parents at the conferences, thank you board members who want to go talk to staff and see you. And, trustee Tyler visiting mister Colwell. So we have, a wonderful e sports program for all that is coaches. It's, e sports, so you can play with anybody. Anywhere. Right? And so our old party night, top 20 of the 100 teams on the East
Coast. So shout out to Eric Colwell, our sponsor for the East Coast, and all of the Oak Park Fortniteers, m a f o r t k n I g t, s, for the wonderful work. It's approval of the amended budget for fiscal year twenty twenty two.
Whereas, the Board of Education has reviewed the proposed Okay.
Well, Okay.
Thank you. Stop the patient. Okay. We're gonna move to item number two eight. Approval requested for an auto pay overnight bill sent to this collect. What do you want? Oh, thank you. Oh, Go out and I don't remember the tone.
It was saying something about. So it was moving last time. I can see why it's still in right now because, you know, we just heard and I don't know if that's inside of a plan. I don't even know the last time we had a service, so custodial consumers that
are for you. I'm pretty sure you're part of the settlement. So we're trying to balance remember, this contract is only for this it is a major project of quickly getting out large items so that the people can bring in the new This is an annual, in your Do you know what I'm saying that
was? I'm sorry. Alright. Resolved at the little bit of change here of who some of those students of those parts of the training academy who attended, I would say, entire reports for those
grants. It's good because a lot of meetings go under, reporting requirements and fraud on the 15 of them. Could also be, you know, making sure that we are which concerns me because interviewing
and coaching, I believe or I correct me if I'm wrong. Do we get rid of them? Do we still have I know I saw where we, was in a Zoom for the. Curriculum director. But then I don't know who the district is. So what you have to know today was that and then it says teachers will collaborate to read, So then we'll go into the achievements and doing so.
So now, the questions that I have, based on this information, with the factual information, I do not see where that's go for work. However, the contract.
Well, in in through going back to the the contract, I I noticed that it specified not to exceed a $125 a month. However, it does not say not to exceed a dollar amount. But in order to say not to support in after us hearing my budget.
I know this is very important, grant. We wanna make sure that we change it, in compliance. Else is doing? Then, this time, we still haven't seen that old contract from teaching the learning, from
2324. And then, just go for work, of course. But apparently, I wasn't finished.
So I'll just get to the front. As I said before, this grant is if we use this grant, we'll lose out of compliance. So the students of this school will lose out of this grant. However, these grants are audible. We were five percent under the state, statewide threshold. So we were the lab. And at that time, we were the lab. To give the board additional pages that reflect, where we were or where we lost.
As far as each school, it tells you exactly where to do this. So I believe, that this position, for we have other qualified tasks that was the
principal of Oak Park High School in 02/2015, which was the last time that high school was on the list, and you got him off the list. Now was that on the list in 2021 from from they just on 2023 when he wasn't deceased. So that when he I want to make sure that and we did share a growth presentation last week for the last morning. That claim So all students.
That's skill one. Do all the eligible ones do the same thing? Do all the eligible ones do the same thing? How are how are the, lessons being delivered? That's skill one. Tier two is small group intervention. So how are we supporting staff without dignifying small group intervention? Let me clarify. Every school does have an academic intervention. Only OPA test. But those that are qualified for those positions, we do bring in for interviews. Vietnam hard ones, up to this point. And then tier three is is HIPAA support.
The way in which we will be compliant with the grant, kid in particular doing?
How are they receiving intervention? How are they getting, increased support? So those things do do directly fall under 23 g for tier one and tier two, and I need to scope of work that is one that is receiving the support you will be, surviving. I also do wanna clarify with this position, it's grant funded. And, also, if there's no money, there's no we don't pay. If there if there's no money to provide the support, then there's no money to provide the support, then there's no money. Also, there's a we can't even get internal to apply for some of the current
positions. And, of course, I wouldn't wanna take a a a teacher from here right now to support in this way. And the other reason we're not interested in this team, but he was too for the work. To support those domestic and digital money is the only department that goes to every single building. We don't. We're not doing this. We're providing support. We're having teacher meetings. We're meeting with principals. We're looking at all of these things. So we definitely need that support. Okay. I just wanna talk in and say that just discuss the request for questions, so
I feel connected. I think we were in a Hello?
Never in the history because right now, I can't be set up. Not in the history of this board meeting has there ever ever been a call to question. And I know this is a task on me. Not to say what I wanna say, but I want the community to know this is a disgrace that she set up a board member and set up a conversation about rent money going to our children. Wow. Miss Griffin? No. I'm sorry. What is the motion that we stopped? I'm saying no. Miss Dorothy, continue the roll.
Wait. Okay. For two weeks because you also decide if you're tired of wanting. That money is just in business. Another part of the grant is the the grant that called missing your kids back on track. That's tier one, which is, are we do we have a viable curriculum? Are people teaching the curriculum with fidelity, which means you gotta monitor? You guys provide feedback. You guys provide support. That's tier one. Then tier two is where you start talking about intervention for students to learn you. We do have intervention in any k through a's. We do have an intervention submission posted for the high school.
I I will also say, oh, mentioning the. I do understand that, perception is a or a reality or a problem. I will say CCM Linus is the only department that goes into the building ever. That's how to say that our other department is still because it's not the nature of their work. But we're we have to go in the building to support teachers. We are they look at TOCs every week. Mhmm. And and sometimes we deliver PDs, and then do another thing.
We are the boots to the ground behind. And right now, I only have one day training person to teaching and learning. And for teaching and learning is the business of the school business. Question his ability. Okay? So let's keep that correct. I did not question his ability. I know his ability. So my issue is the grant. The grant cannot be used for that purpose for the purpose that they get. According to the research that I've done, then according to the contract that I read, it it it specified to me, more of, like, a financial a financial allowance.
Like, And I believe that if we didn't have the grant, how would he be? How how would how would he be paying? Because I looked up a word called sub plan. Sub plan can mean that if you didn't have the rent money, I would just be paid. And I promise you, I have taken days. That's why my voice is working. I have a role now that role because the one thing that I am is a fashionable person. I like to have the facts. And the fact of the matter is is that he does the work.
He was here at 13, wait, and then he was then, he left, and then he came back, and then he became this. I get it. He's in here. I I'm not that's not my my issue. My issue is the contract. It doesn't specify enough for me to be at a minimum. There's 6,000 $60,000 allowed for something else, but, yes, this is going to a contractor where we had, I believe it was Michelle, Terry, and I think it was permanent
at the time. So it's it's these two people are going to who when this person is working, and she can learn it. So and they're hired into the group. That's just my that's just my tone, and I just I would like and I I really actually vote that the board would like because that is our role as
a board person is to, make sure policies or the contract that that would be our proposal. And I think that if or however the vote, turns out, the current transfer needs to be, specified a little bit better than what it is in regards to the limit. We're not the limit. Because if we only have 50,000, are we just gonna use all that? Because it didn't say we have this grant two years. And what what do we do to go two years? Who would you know, like, how did that move?
I'll sum it up. But if it's 60,000, it doesn't sound like it I probably just say, if I got all the factual legibles in front of me, it's gonna go saying, assistant superintendent nowhere. It's a teacher, you know, curriculum directors, And I'm just asking to just, you know,
be mindful because there is it's it's it's depressed and they're audited, and it's audited incorrectly because we believe that it was correct. Then what happens is we lose it, and then we gotta redone it. And then how to redone it, you gotta now show them everything you do. For questions, for support for all of you. And I did apologize for this inconvenience. However, it was just to communicate that if you need support in this area, here's who you can go to.
Because I cannot be the number one and the number two. I cannot be the interim superintendent. That's not a feasible outcome, and that's the direction. That's how you do it. Okay. And then what is on here is that it's from right to the okay. And and it's not that you set the call. Hourly least least hourly is twenty five to seventy five. And if there's no money for the services, if you don't, there's there's no invoice,
there's no payment. And there's no money, no invoice, no payment. And the the minimum is for twenty five hours of $2.35, and it's only March to June to the court. And then bridge work until y'all locate the news to confirm. And then I can go back to classification.
We understand that you're born and raised here, so we know this is how we are. I get it. But I'm sorry. If I if I run a ring light, the police officer will give me the ticket because I ring the ring light. The top of them. Although the growth, I think because we were the lowest and it was low. So we are growing, you know, higher than those because if you're taller than me, I'm growing more. And so so I'm gonna have the more growth. I get it. But Thank you very much. The initial delay of spring break, starting this coming Saturday or HSA Monday.
Honestly, there will be no school for students. Monday, March? Thirtieth. I guess that is. Thank you. You know, you know, you know, Monday, March We have reached.
