States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation undergone indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Alright, we are fortunate tonight to start with some recognitions, which is Mrs. Hartman's favorite part of the show. And it looks like we're going to Mrs. Pollard. Good evening board. I would like to ask Perry Meridian High School principal Kurt Boer to come forward for a moment. Board the Indiana Association of School Principals annually recognizes outstanding school leaders in each of the 12 Indiana districts who have succeeded in providing high quality learning opportunities for students.
These principals are acknowledged by their peers for the exemplary contributions they have made to the profession. This programs honors principals who have demonstrated excellence in these areas as identified by the selection criteria board. Tonight we are honoring one of our own, Mr. Kurt Boker, principal Perry Reading High School was named the 2024 District seven High School Principal of the Year by the Indiana Association of School Principals. We're so proud to have Kurt as part of our team. Yeah, you can stay 'cause I'm calling you up in just a moment. Are we ready to keep going? Keep going? Yes. Okay. Okay. Next up, we're gonna leave Mr.
Roder up here and we're gonna ask his student, um, Dylan Walden to join him up front. Thank you For Dylan Walden is a senior at Perry Meridian High School and the president of the DECA chapter, and he's led a fundraising effort to support the Isaiah one 17, a charity dedicated to helping foster children. This organization operates a house in Marion County that provides temporary shelter for children removed from their homes by the Department of Child Services. These children often face sun removal, uncertainty about where they'll live and sleep, lack of clean clothing and no personal belongings.
This organization offers comfort and stability as part of the, um, DECA Charitable Giving project. De Dylan has dedicated, um, his community service and his leadership, which is rooted in his past experience, uh, on Eagle Scout projects and his passion for helping others. This motivation led him to help organize the first aver fundraising gala, an event titled A Gala to Benefit Children, which featured live music and an auction to support the charities work. As part of this project, Dylan has taken his project from concept to reality by organizing this gala that raised $61,000.
Dylan, thank you for your leadership. Okay. Keeping Mr. Boker up here finally board. We want to recognize our, um, wrestling state champ, and I will, um, invite Perry Meridian, who's yes. Um, athletic director, Emily Stein Mets up front with the principal, Mr. Boker. So on behalf of Perry Meridian High School, this was the inaugural season, as you might remember for girls wrestling. So as I call your name, if you would come forward board, we're recognizing Junior Lydia Koala, who is a state runner up sectional in Marion County County
Champion Sophomore Anaya Del Del Gago, eighth place Mid-State Conference Champion. And Leah Sheldon, a state qualifier. I'd also like to invite Coach Matt Sheley, an assistant coach Jared McKinley forward to help congratulate these wrestlers. Oh, too late. Okay. Congratulations girls, Matt and Kurt, if you'll stay up there. Um, and I'll invite Assistant boys coach Chris Peyton up on behalf of the Perry Meridian High School boys.

Uh, we truly appreciate what you all bring to Perry Township in all your different ways.
Uh, you are welcome at this rate. If you'd like to head out, you are more than welcome to do so, although we would love to have you stay, but we understand if won't have a feeling, sir. Uh, very much of day. Congratulations. Oh, wait, hold on. I keep you on, you left so crazy, kiddo. I'll see you later. Although with the way he started the, the meeting tonight, maybe Mr. Boer would come up and lead us for the rest of the meeting, but I won't put that on you. Um, next item time. We do have public comment. Uh, Anne, if you'd like to head to the microphone, as you know, uh, you have three minutes to share with us
what you'd like to share with us. Thank you. Well, I think, um, Dylan Walden should really be applauded again for, for what he has done. That's remarkable and the cause is really necessary. I think that's great. Um, and the, um, fact that you have boys wrestling and girls wrestling, I'm glad to hear that. As long as the boys who think they're girls can't go on the girls wrestling team and vice versa, because like I say, almost every week a boy can't be a girl
and the girl can't be a boy. And to pass that off as, as a truth is a failure of the schools. That's all I have to say. Tonight. At this time, I'd like to ask the board, um, for their consideration of a modification of the uh, posted agenda. I'd like to ask that we, uh, move an item off of the consent agenda. It's item 4.08 and move that to the action section of the board meeting at 5.08. That's that your board's consideration, Move to approve. Second, Second Motion was made by you. Ms. Motion was made by Mr. Lewis, seconded by Mrs. Hartman.
Are there questions or comments? Hearing none will go ahead and vote. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed? Nay. We will with that move, uh, 4.08 to the end of our items requiring action later in the meeting. Uh, next item. We do have the consent agenda, uh, move to approve. Second motion was made by Mr. Lewis, seconded by Mr. Mertz. Are there questions or comments? I have, uh, one question on 4.09, the consideration
of a contract renewal for Education advanced. Um, a large portion of this is covered under Title two funds. Um, I know given the uncertainty of what's going on with the Department of Education or that funding, um, what would happen should title funds go to the state or the title funds we're expecting not come to us, I guess is my question. Yeah. So in that instance, one is we have a little bit of cushion, um, with regards to that, um, in that move and we hopefully be giving, given some, um,
especially the title grants, we'll be given some heads up that that is to take place. We would also have some cash balance that we could utilize towards that with board approval. Um, but also three third layer is that with many of these agreements and contracts, knowing that they're grant funded, we would have an opportunity to cancel those. Thank you. It's not a large amount. Uh, still Hearing no other questions. We'll go ahead and vote. All those in favor of the consent agenda, say aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed? Na. Consent agenda is accepted. And before we move on, I believe we're going back to Mrs. Pollard. Thank you. I'd like to invite Kurt Boer back up here again

Um, at the end of this school year, uh, when Dave rolled a Please stand our current principal at Glens Valley, uh, elementary school. Uh, Dave has, uh, announced his retirement. He is gonna be finishing, uh, 36 years in Perry Township, uh, with over two decades of experience as a building principal.

Dave? I'll be sure to be over there on the last day to help you with buses. Okay. That's, That's really good. I wanna see that actually. Um, I just, I've watched, um, a great number of great leaders come and go, um, sitting in those chairs and that chair and this chair. Um, I've been blessed to have the support of a lot
of great people and I've worked with a, a lot of amazing people and I just thank you all, um, for all the support over the years. Um, 24 years as a principal, uh, just went by like that. And, uh, I was blessed to be able to lead three different buildings in one district. And, uh, that's, that's not common. And, uh, that took a lot of trust from a lot of people. And again, I just thank you all, um, for all of that. I've, the, the amount of families and, and, uh, children that, um, have blessed my life is,
uh, it's just, you can't count it. And so, um, I'm a lucky, lucky man and I've got, um, she's gonna buy me ice cream, right? I should get, yeah. Okay. Alright. She's gonna take me for ice cream, but, um, I'm just, uh, need a little bit more time at home. Uh, I'm, it's not the end. You guys will probably see me back at different things, but, um, a little more time at home, a little less stress is what, what we're looking for. So, again, thank you very, very much. Lee, can I, can I say something? Absolutely. Um, you know, one of the things that Mr. Roll mentioned, and I've been fortunate enough to know Mr.
Roll my entire time on the board and even before that. And I've had a lot of opportunity to work with him at the various places he's been. And I consider myself extremely lucky. He mentioned great leaders. One of the things he didn't mention is he's one of those great leaders. Um, those are big shoes to, to fill here in Perry Township. Um, and he has been a long time staple in Perry Township. If you don't know Dave Roll's name, you haven't been in Perry Township that long, so, um, congratulations to you. Um, well, I'm very happy for you. We'll miss you. But, uh, I know you're gonna go on to, to bigger and better things, less stress in your

5.0. Uh, four consideration of the early literacy achievement grant. Mr. Spencer, Good evening Board. Uh, we ask your consideration for, uh, approval for the early literacy grant. So this was a i a grant through the Indiana Department of Education and their focus on early literacy. Um, it was established, uh, through HEA, uh, 1 0 0 1 dash 2023. It's to reward teachers in schools for their impact on improving students' foundational literacy skills as evidenced by the, I read three data. And so again, the state's goal is 95% passed
by the year 2027. So in, for this grant, Perry Township received $133,000 764 cents, or $7,064 and 59 cents. Uh, the money goes to teachers in grades K three and then also to our special education and el teachers at the elementary level who, uh, were employed last year and are still employed today. And the math on that works out to $430, um, per teacher that's eligible. And Mrs. Probus did a great job of, um, putting this together this year. And then we appreciate Mr. Hatcher and the business office supporting as well. Move to approve. Second
motion was made by Mr. Lewis and seconded by Mr. Mertz. Are there questions or comments? This, this grant is, could go away at any time, correct? I'm assuming. I mean, It, it's in code now, but I mean, yes, they could change it. So at this point it is ex expectation each year that they'll allocate funds for it. Okay. Um, and it's related to your pass rate, so it fluctuates each year by how you're doing on I read. Got it. Thank you. Hearing no other questions, we'll go ahead and vote. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed nay. 5.04 is accepted. 5.05.
Uh, consideration of the toll and eman, uh, park drainage easement and right of way agreement. Mr. Sson Thank you board. Uh, the Department of Public Works will be improving the drainage of the toll and Eman Park area as part of their renovations and upgrade of the park. Uh, toll and Aman Park abuts the Jeremiah Great Kindergarten Academy to the east. Currently the water drainage is fed into the storm sewer, which is located within our easement. The easement is located on the east side of the playground, and the work will not negatively impact the daily operations of the school building, nor will it inhibit
the use of the playground. We ask for your consideration for this agreement as presented. Move to approve. Second Motion was made by Mrs. Hartman, seconded by Mr. Lewis. Are there questions or comments? Hearing none will go ahead and vote. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed? Nay. 5.05 is accepted. 5.06 Policy. Second. Read Adoption and Policy Retirement with Dr. Spray? Yes. I'd like to ask the board's consideration of, um, these policies. There are six policies. Um, 51 11 is a cleanup policy based primarily on Indiana
Code, um, et cetera. We have done three policies that have to do with artificial intelligence. That is the student conduct 5,500, the student technical technology, acceptable use, which is 75 40 0.03, and the staff acceptable use as well. 75 40 0.04. And then one that has, again, has to do with, um, some language corrections for suspension and expulsions. That's 56 10. And then emergency preparedness drills to, so that they line up with HEA 1177. And that is policy 84 20.
Move to approve. I Have a question, sir. Yep. Um, about the removal of that plagiarism section, like did that move to a different part of the handbook, or Which policy are we speaking about? I apologize. Um, it was where the AI section was. I have it pulled up. I just written a note. So, Um, plagiarism is still a, um, an, an offense that is, um, within the student handbook. Mm-hmm. I think it has to do with the, the ability
to utilize that or how that works within the use of ai. Okay. Um, as well. So it's still something that teachers have control over and in order to allow kids to, to utilize it, but utilize it in the correct manner. Do you have anyone to second the motion? Second. Motion was made by Mr. Lewis, seconded by Mr. Mertz. Are there additional questions or comments for any of these policies? Hearing none will go ahead and vote. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed nay. 5.06 is accepted. 5.07. Uh, the acceptance of donations with Mr. Spencer and Mrs. Pollard.

for his recognition. Uh, again, congratulations to Dave Roll and the other individual that was retiring as Brian Kite, Brian's been, uh, a longstanding, uh, uh, athletic director and active, uh, individual here in the township as well. So congratulations to him. Um, I wanted to thank Dr. Spray and your team for putting the, uh, the highlights for all the policy changes. I personally found that very, very helpful. So I appreciate put you putting that in the board packet. Um, wanted to congratulate all the wrestlers, uh, on their accomplish accomplishments and achievements. And the last two, um, Dylan Wallen, I mean,
not only did he raise a tremendous amount of money, he did it for just a fantastic cause that goes back to helping kids his age and younger. Uh, what a neat opportunity and a neat young man to take on such a challenge. And that was it for me. I coached Dylan when he was a freshman, and I can't believe he's a senior and doing such incredible work already, especially for the Isaiah one 17 house, which is, um, absolutely awesome. And I've worked with them in the past and I'm glad that they were able to raise so much money. Um, I'd just like to say, uh, thank you to, uh, Mr. Roll.
Uh, and, and Mr. Kite, uh, what a career. Uh, you put in a lot of time and effort for the district. And, uh, it's, it's very appreciative. Um, Mr. Boer, uh, congratulations. That's a, a, a great achievement. Um, Mr. Walden, wow, what, what you just did was amazing. Um, you're, you're a true servant leader and, uh, that's something to be very proud of. I feel like, um, I see big things happening for you in the, in the future.
Congratulations, uh, to the wrestlers and the other fall athletes. Great job this season. Uh, there was a lot of, uh, a lot of excitement this year. Um, I know some teams probably didn't have the, the, the records they would've liked to have seen, but th there's more to it than just wins and losses. Um, in particular, I just wanna share a, a short story with you that a a a parent came up to me and, and, you know, they just really appreciated to be a part of the athletic community. Uh, you know, they were going through some tough times
and the, the, the family there has really helped them get through these tough times. And that right there is what it's all about. Being there for your teammate, being there for your family members, and helping out with you when you can. So, great job coaches. Excellent job. Um, you know, unfortunately the spring season, you know, fall and winter sports, it seemed like they take forever. And then we get to spring sports and they're over in a flash. So good luck to the spring athletes. You know, it, it goes by quick, but enjoy it. And then, uh, you know, spring break's coming up.
So, uh, everybody have a, a safe and fun spring break. Thank you. Um, I, I would like to start out and, and give a rah rah to our HR department 'cause they are really kicking it in gear right now with hiring. So, um, so thank you Sharon. Um, Ms. Baker to your team. Um, 'cause with retirements that we celebrate, that creates openings. And so, um, thank you for the work that you are already doing. But I know that this is a, a, a big time for some hiring and, um, hopefully some things we've done can help support
that and encourage that as well. So, um, Dylan Walden, four years ago, five years ago, he would've been in eighth grade, did a, um, pack the bag event. And I think the kid had hundreds, if not even close to a thousand backpacks full and filled. Um, and he ran it all out of Para Meridian Middle School. Um, so this young man is not, um, new to doing great things and not just doing great things for our township
or our his own peers, but also for, um, kids here in the Indianapolis area. So, um, very proud of Dylan. Um, and, um, he definitely has the gift of administration and getting things done, and he knows it and he uses it. So, um, the fact that Douglas MacArthur Elementary School donated $1,850 to our student services also speaks to the hearts of our students. And, um, the fact that Douglas MacArthur Elementary leaders, um,
I don't know if it was student council or who it was that came up with giving the kids that option to give the money back to our student services that is, um, greatly commendable and teaching our own kids here about giving back. Um, Mr Roll is, um, as big as his smile. Um, and his heart is as big as his smile. And, um, he loves students so much. Um, but being in this seat, I've been able to watch him encourage and foster
and grow teachers as well. Um, and he just, he, he's a fabulous, uh, leader and principal and will be greatly missed here. Um, but he's definitely left his mark and taught some great people some good things. So, um, but, and lastly, there's another name on our personnel report that nobody, I mean, it's a Joanne Almay. She's been a teacher, uh, in Perry Township for a very long time. And she was my third grade teacher, and she was Joanne Minor. And then I showed up the first day of school
and it said, miss Ame. So, um, she has greatly, I, I joke with her that everything I ever learned, I learned in third grade, you know, because I, I learned a lot in third grade. But she was a fun teacher. She was a strict teacher, and that's still who she is to this day. Um, and she still holds me accountable and she still encourages me and challenges me, and I will miss her because she holds my feet to the fire. And I appreciate that about her. But most importantly, I'm grateful for the ways that she has
encouraged young teachers at Berkhart and, um, led and, and helped them grow at her time there. So, um, she'll be hearing that from me, but I wanted it to be public here as well With the, uh, warmer temperatures this evening. It's easy to look or at least start thinking about towards summer and tonight we started, uh, to, through the consent agenda, approve our first summer camps. Uh, just want to thank all the students and staff who volunteer each summer to give unique opportunities to our students, uh, throughout the district to learn something new or get better at something that they enjoy.
Um, last week was National School Breakfast Week, which apparently was a big to-do. Um, the taquitos were the, the menu item, if you haven't heard. Uh, so thank you to our food service staff who not only on a special week like that, but throughout the year are finding, uh, unique creative ways to, um, provide nutrition for our students, but also, um, meals that align with a lot of our students' background experiences and culture. Um, I guess two weeks ago now was the Home Craft Elementary
Science Fair and Invention Convention, which Mr. Spencer, 62 years for the science fair and 31 for the Invention Convention. It's a pretty impressive, um, production, uh, that now has even stretched down from fifth grade to second grade. Um, the kids are involved, the teachers are involved, uh, outside volunteers are involved in, uh, judging. Having done it one year, it is, uh, it would've been better if I had just gone to work. It would've been less work that day. Uh, it's a lot of work not just to judge, of course, but for the kids and the, the teachers to put that on.
And they do a really nice job. So congratulations to all the winners, but really everyone involved. It was a really nice experience. And then last, I think Mr. Lewis kinda mentioned the phrase, uh, servant leadership. I, I think I would add the word selfless to that when I think of the people recognized tonight. Uh, our retirees, Mr. Roll, Mr. Kite, uh, Mr. Boer as a principal of the year for District seven, and of course Dylan Walden. Um, I think these are all examples of that selfless servant leadership that, um, a lot of our, our, uh, our staff, uh, bring to the table every day.
That is clear with Dylan being an example that is rubbing off on our kids and hopefully, uh, trickling down to the next generation. So that's all I have. Two, just real quick things. Um, you know, I would like to recognize Dylan's, um, family and support network who's instilled those values in him and have raised him to be the young man that he is. And then also, um, Kim Teed is also retiring. She's from Abraham Lincoln and is currently in the English Language Learning, um, instructor. So appreciate, um, her work and, and efforts and time in Perry Township as well. Alright, our next uh, regular board meeting will be
April the 14th at 6:00 PM right here in the same spot. Uh, no public work session this month due to spring break. So hope everyone has an enjoyable couple weeks off. And last word, thanks for those who are, um, contributing to intercession, uh, here next week. With that, we are adjourned.
