Is there any public comment? >> We do not have any public comment for the budget hearing. >> All right. Uh if you look at the documents in front of you, you'll see our 2026 proposed budget. This is just the hearing audit.
Um can you show that please? You want to look up there? You can see how much we are proposing to appropriate per. Is there any questions? Then we'll move on to our school bus
replacement plan. For the state of Indiana, we are required to have one of these every school. And this just shows how many buses we have, um whether they're owned or leased, their purchase dates, and just an
estimated uh date of replacement. This does not commit us to purchasing, just estimating when we should start looking at it. Any questions on this? Moving on to capital projects. Again, this is part of the budget
process. Different items that we could potentially purchase over the next couple of years or projects that we could do that is listed here. Is there any questions on this? I'll hand it back over to you, Mr. B.
>> Thank you. Um, next we'll do our public hearing on the additional appropriations and Terra is that >> is there any public comment? >> There is no public comment on that. >> All right. We are um showing here you have that up
visual appropriation. >> Yeah, that would be it. We are proposing to expand the budget for 2025 by 800,000 for the ED and 300,000 operations fund. >> Are there any questions?
>> All right, Mr. B. Back to you. >> So, that one will require a vote. So, >> yeah, later. >> I'm sorry. >> That will be voted on later. >> Okay, that will be voted on later. The fact that you scared me on there can be. So we will go.
>> This is just a hearing. >> All right. Perfect. So hearing nothing else, that will end that public hearing as well. Um and we will begin our public session at 6:30. So hang tight.
get started as usual for the pledge of allegiance. >> I aliance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and
justice for all. >> Thank you. >> Uh, next up we'll do public comment. Uh, first on the list is Mr. Morris. Smor floor is yours. >> Set agenda.
>> We can do that. Switch them up. I get >> Hello. uh here again to talk about this committee we've been trying to push for for about 10 months now. Um we've had 15 families that came to us so far just since the beginning of the school year
and that tells me that um the committee's needed. The only reason you know we're here is because the committee's not been implemented and you know if the committee wasn't needed then we wouldn't be needed. If the committee wasn't needed, these parents
wouldn't be coming to us. We're doing the best we can. But uh to be honest, you know, this committee would do so much better. You know, we all we can do is work with the parents, try to give them as much advice as we can. First thing we tell them is, have you talked
to the administrators? You know, what they say? Have you, you know, pleaded with them? You know what? You know, we if we call the the state representatives, the first thing they say is, "Did you talk to the school? Did you talk to the administrators or the administration or the board members?"
Because, you know, they want everybody to try that route first. Well, all the parents I'm talking to are are saying they are doing that and nothing's being done. So, all we can do is try to give them advice and then we just try to lift up the rug and show what's being swept
under it. Um, it's nothing that we like doing and in spite of anybody's opinions, we don't take any joy in it. But we have to show you the board that this really is a need. I listened to your uh school attorney get up here last
month um used the public uh comments part to talk about how complex the committee might be, but one thing he didn't say is that it couldn't be done. And that's because he knows it can be done. Is it a little complex? Maybe. But it is well worth it. It'll serve the
students way better than we ever can. It is needed. And you know, I can't stress it enough, but you know, I we are going to continue, our group is going to continue to go to the state representatives and we're going to fight to get this mandated at the state level.
But please, you know, you guys could be the the model for other schools because when this gets mandated, you know, the state could say PU schools already has this implemented and this is what's happening there and this is how good it's working. So, you know, think about
that. You you guys really could be a shining light. You could be the model school for all the other schools and we could go away and we wouldn't be needed. >> Mr. Morris, it won't be statemandated because you're dealing with confidential
student and other >> confidential privacy pieces. >> Other states already have this mandated. >> It won't be mandated. I assure you of that just because of the confidentiality for all of those. >> We understand that. We've already talked to school or attorneys that specialize
in school and education law that tell me if you write this into your mola policies and the teachers and and others sign they already your teachers are already bound by confidentiality agreements for furpa and all that. But if you have nine of your teachers or,
you know, six teachers and one lunch person or janitor in the building or whatever, the people that don't have those agreements signed, you can have a special one crafted up for them. Add it to your Neola policies. They're bound by the same confidentiality that you are
that the principles are. It can happen. And if you guys like, I can have some attorneys come here and show draft it all out for you and show. Now, you guys have your own attorneys, but they're not saying the same thing that the attorneys I'm talking to is. And New Jersey
already has something like this in place. And New Jersey does include parents on their committee, and it's mandated at the state level. Now, I know this is Indiana, but it is possible. Would it be a lot of hard work? Yeah. But we don't want to keep doing this
forever. But we're going to if that's what's needed because the parents have let us know this is needed and there is a problem. And I know that there's resistance for a couple reasons, but you know, please know I I don't hate anybody in this
room. I don't hate anybody. You know, I do feel some hate coming from people because of the work we're doing, but please know I don't hate anybody. We don't want to keep doing this. Honestly, I don't. You know, when when my granddaughter got assaulted 10 months
ago, um I thought it was going to be a simple fix and then it just kept escalating until other parents were coming forward and saying the same thing happened to them. And we all of us, this whole group, they work hard. They don't want to be doing this. This is these are volunteers. I don't want to be doing
this. I truthfully want to hang the hat up and and say, "Hey, something good happened here." And now that committee's in place, parents will go to the committee. We'll go away. But right now, we can't.
I promise you, we will dissolve voice approved parents as soon as this committee is formed. And I know, yes, it will become complicated, but as soon as you get your attorneys on it and they draft it up, you add it to your policies, it'll work.
Thank you, Mr. Morris. Mr. Nightale, you're next. >> Mr. Truth. >> Hi. >> Sorry. >> Okay. So, we talked last month about how we would share some things our teachers are doing. So, we went ahead and um showed sent you the slideshow that you
guys all saw. So, we just wanted to talk about a few of those things on there if you want to start. >> Yeah. Um so, Mrs. sent us their rise room, got with football players, and they did stuff around the football fields to help get ready for Friday night football games. So, we also like that they've been coming to the schools,
the elementary, the little kids. That's so cute. It's just so cute. >> They're so excited. >> Yeah. >> And then we had um an aid actually send us pictures from one of the teachers classrooms, which I think is really cool because they're excited about what the teachers are doing, too. and she was doing um sideway flashlight reading
activity on a fun Friday kind of deal which is also cool. And then there was a post on Facebook actually from a parent that got a postcard from Ms. Rodriguez. Um a lot of teachers do that like before the year
like encouraging them, welcoming them, but she did it a couple days, weeks into the school year because this kid was struggling and just sent the kid a note saying like, "Keep it up. you can do this. Good job. And I thought that was a really unique idea.
>> And the chefs can talk about herself. We every Friday we do a STEM activity. And um this week we were talking about feelings and levels of anxiety or anything like that. And so after we write our story, they had to get Hershey kisses and take the rappers from the
Hershey kiss and make a love boat because we were reading um the kissing hand. and they had to then make it float with the Hershey kisses on top. So, >> our teachers get to do a lot of great things because we're supported by our admin and they encourage us and we feel
loved by all of you and our admin. So, thank you. >> Thank you, Miss and Mr. Fax. Next, we have Danielle Manriquez. Hello, my name is Danielle Monriquez. Um, I've lived in Peru all my life. Went
to Peru community schools, lived in Germany for one year, raised five kids in Peru community schools. I'd like to ask um all of you with a show of hands. If you have if you're a parent of a child in PR community schools,
anyone here? And how about grandparents of children in P for community schools. Um it's my belief that you become board members because you care about children and you care about
families in the community. And I became a board member of voice approved parents because when I looked into what the oversight site committee consisted of, all I saw
was good coming of it. I saw a need for it and I wanted to see what I could do to help. I wanted to address what the PCA president said last week. First of all, we're not making up quote
foolish conspiracy theories unquote. We don't have a vendetta and we aren't organi or antagonizing the community by any means. Um, how can it be a conspiracy if we've
received 15 stories already this school year? School year has been hearing for four weeks. And that's not counting people that don't come forward say anything. So there's been um stories told to us of bullying incidents, unfair treatment,
and exclusion. Uh we as a team meet up once per month. Last week we met up thinking we were only going to meet about 10 to 15 minutes because we didn't have enough people. meeting went on to last more
than an hour probably because we had ideas flowing of what all this oversight committee could consist of as well. Not just being over a complaint against the thing, but you know, and first of all, it's not some
Joe blow off the street being part of the committee like he said. it's teachers and it's people that are already uh employed by the school system that would be a part of it overseeing their you know to a different school whatever. Um
but we had ideas such as like maybe quarterly u these committee me members like maybe one would um make anti-bullying posters that would be put up on the school. Maybe they would use students from their schools to help do
that. Maybe another one might do a pres presentation on intervention or a presentation to faculty on ways to observe children being bullied because let's let's be real, most kids don't tell their parents or don't tell teachers about being bullied because
they're afraid that the bullying will intensify. My stepson was one of those and he because you know his dad's getting hot on the phone calling the school right away and he'd say, "Dad, don't cuz I I don't I don't want any problems. I don't
you know I don't want more problems cuz then they're going to come back with more." So I believe the attorney last year now I didn't know what George was going to say but I the attorney last week was brought in probably paid. I'm sure he got paid for his time here.
to steer the board away from the oversight committee and what it can possibly do for us or how that that it wouldn't be beneficial. I don't understand how you could possibly think that it couldn't or wouldn't and I don't understand why PCS for community schools
would not want to be put on the map for implementing a policy such as this for other schools to follow. And it is my hope and prayer that this one a board member would propose a vote to actually
discuss the implementation of an oversight committee that could help our students and our families in this community. >> Thank you. >> Next up we have Michael Zimmerman. You can remove the zimmers from the list.
>> All right. And last, we have Bridget Richardson. I don't have to speak my name. You guys already know me. I've been up here multiple times. Um, I've been up here meeting after meeting
and you guys think that you know me, but you really don't. I am the founder and CEO of the Trees Overdose Awareness Foundation and Walk. We are a 501c3 and I have 177 people who volunteer underneath me. 133 which are
parents. We are the only overdose foundation in Indiana. You can actually take your phones out and look it up. Why am I saying this? I'm not voting my own horn. Because George Mars now has our full support for his campaign for
chair for 2026 2027 school year and we won't stop until he's actually in one of those seats. We need change and this isn't us attacking anybody. It's trying to give our kids a safe place to learn and no offense but if PTA cared about our kids, don't you think that they
would jump on board with this? So honestly think about who has our kids' best interest at heart. >> Thank you. Um, that concludes the public comment section. Um, I would now entertain a motion
to accept the agenda as presented with the changes provided to you in personnel and the attendance of a conference. So move. >> Thank you, M. Justice. Do I have a second? >> Second. >> Thank you, Mr. Ellis. Any questions? >> All those in favor?
is yours. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Hoover. Next, we have approval of the minutes. I would entertain a motion to accept those as presented. >> So, move. >> Thank you, Miss Justice. Second. >> Second. >> Thank you, Mr. Ellis. Any questions or
comments? All those in favor? >> It is unanimous. Thank you. Moving on. Um, next up, we had a presentation from Jalter. They just let us know that they didn't really have anything new to present, so they decided not to come.
So, we will start that. Um, next up under program, we have a determination, a need for project resolution determination. Mr. McCart, >> thank you, Mr. May. the exhibit A that you have in your packet that I will read
uh for the public's benefit resolution determining need for project whereas an investigation has been conducted by the board of school trustees the board of Peru community school corporation the school corporation with respect to the acquisition of real estate and
renovation of facilities into transportation maintenance center and administration space deferred maintenance improvements to Elmwood Primary Learning Center and Blair Point Upper Elementary school, including programming improvement, renovations, roofing improvements, HBAC improvements,
and site improvements, and the purchase of technology and equipment. also deferred maintenance improvements to Peru Junior Senior High School, including programming improvements, renovations, roofing improvements, HVAC improvements and site improvements,
and the purchase of technology and equipment as needed, and renovation of an improvements to the former Peru Junior High site, including building renovations and athletic improvements, uh, and leasing all or a portion of the
project from the Peru Multi-School Building Corporation. i.e. the building corporation and whereas this board now finds that a need exists for the project and that the school corporation cannot provide the necessary funds to pay the cost of the project required to meet such need. And
whereas it is deemed desirable to proceed with the necessary negotiations and all other steps looking toward the financing the project by the building corporation and the lease of such facilities to the school corporation. Now therefore, be it resolved that a need exists for the project and that the
project cannot be funded from sufficient funds available to the school corporation and that this board proceed to take such steps as may be necessary to secure the project and leasing of such school facilities as provided by the Indiana Code Title 20 article 47
chapter 3. >> Thank you, Mr. McCormack. Um, having heard that I would entertain a motion to accept that as presented. So move. >> Thank you, Miss Justice. Do I have a second? >> Second. >> Thank you, Mr. Fuller. Any questions or
comments? >> Hearing none. All those in favor? It is unanimous. Thank you. Uh next up, approving the form of lease resolution. Uh this resolution approves the funding of the project through a
lease financing as it is done with other past construction renovation projects. Lease financing are by school corporations across Indiana in order to borrow for renovation and construction. This type of financing does not count against the school corporation's constitutional debt allowance.
I would entertain a motion to accept that as presented. >> So move. >> Thank you, Mr. H. Do I have a second? Second. >> Thank you, Mr. Ellis. Questions, comments? Hearing none. All those in favor?
It is unanimous. Thank you. On to business. Mr. McCormick. Thank you, Mr. Batty. Um, under business, item A, Alex 202526 renewal quote. Um, discussion action to approve a one-year renewal quote for Alex digital
subscription. And Mrs. Shurik, uh, can I ask you to maybe fill in, um, the board on this Alex renewal quote or the software, please? >> Um, Alex is a math program that, um, students take a diagnostic at the
beginning of the year. They're enrolled in a program that is connected to their math course, but it based on their diagnostic finds the prerequisites requisite skills they may be missing that are related to the skills in class.
Um, or it meets them at their level and then if they're above level, it will also push them to the next level. I know at the junior senior high, this would be year three for us. Um, Flair Point has used it with the lift pro lift programs
for I think at least that long if not longer. Um, of the number you have there, 5566 of that would come from high ability funds. >> Thank you, Mr. Sher. Hearing the presentation, do I have a
motion to accept? >> Motion to accept, Alex. >> Thank you, Dr. Quinn. >> Second. >> Second. >> Thank you, Miss Justice. Any questions? All those in favor? >> Thank you. >> And let moving on to, excuse me, letter
B, essential skills software renewal quote discussion and action to approve a one-year renewal, excuse me, quote for essential skills software for $599. Um, Mrs. Sure. If again
I know this isn't a necessarily large sum of money but might be helpful for people to understand what this is. >> So Essential Skills is a software that they've used at Blair Point for many many years. It was a software that was originally purchased and put on our computer system. However, it is very
very out ofd and as we switch to new updated computer systems um the software is no longer supported. It's used mostly at third grade but also a lot for third and fourth grade intervention. And so the Blairoint teachers and interventionists requested that we continue that because it is a very
effective program for getting some of those upper elementary kids who have not yet mastered their phonics skills, age appropriate material to get them reading on grade level. >> Thank you. >> Can I hear a motion to accept that
renewal vote as presented? >> So moved. Thank you, Miss Justice. Second. Second. >> Thank you, Dr. Quinn. Any questions or comments? >> All those in favor? >> It is unanimous. Thank you. >> Then letter C, we have a again a tuition
assistance uh request for um Danielle Carlson, Southeast Oklahoma State University reimbursement of $1,500 for the 2526 school year for your consideration. Do I have a motion to accept the tuition reimbursement?
>> So move. >> Thank you, Miss Justice. Second. Second. Thank you, Dr. Quinn. >> Um, any comments or questions? >> All those in favor? >> Thank you. Moving on to donations. Looks like we
have two Elwood $150 for general use from the Peru Lions Club and $300 for general use from Jialter Design Incorporated. I would entertain a motion to accept those as presented. >> So moved.
>> Thank you, Miss Justice. Second. >> Second. >> Thank you, Mr. Alice. Any questions? All those in favor? Unanimous. Thank you. Uh, next up, agreements.
>> Um, number one, under agreements, we have a Miami County Prosecutor's Office, Improved Community Schools Police Department. Um, we had a situation much like other law enforcement across the state and
nation. our handguns had the potential of discharging when when set down. Again, I I don't claim to know a lot about handguns, but it could happen. It
had been shown. U you can see YouTube videos of it. So, um Officer Richard just decided to be proactive and u change those handguns out. So, we did get a tradein value for each of our
existing handguns and then there was a additional fee obviously to purchase new um handguns. And we want to thank u the Miami County Prosecutor's Office for covering um that additional fee. Much
appreciated. And so we have those uh those firearms and the holsters and they're going through the reciting of those and training uh currently. So um that uh really coming
to you kind of retroactively uh for your approval and grace on that. But since it was could have been a safety issue as superintendent, I I um asked Mr. or officer Richard to move forward with
changing those out. >> Thank you, Mr. Corman. Um, can I get a motion to accept the prosecutor's prosecutor office agreement? >> So move. >> Thank you, M. Justice. Can I get a second? >> Second. Thank you, Mr. Fuller. Any
comments or questions? All those in favor? It is unanimous. Thank you. Moving on to number two, Jibralter Design Improve Community Schools agreement. You have that agreement um before you. The work they've done thus far, the
facility studies is done for free. Uh they would do that for any school district. Um you'll see that their numbers essentially equate to a 7% uh fee from their end, which is uh below
the industry standard. But we've been working with them for 9 or 10 months now, but it is time to um formally sign that agreement with them. >> Thank you, Mr. McCormick. I would entertain a motion to accept the
agreement between your vulner agreement in front of me states that this was made as of the 16th day of September in the year 2024. So, is this going to be retroactive or is the date? >> Um, this will include 2024 the work that
they did for uh leading into the 2024 bond scope of work as well. >> So, we're approving a contract that's already been in place. Um, you're approving the work that they
have done moving forward and the work that they've been doing for us outside of the facility feasibility. Any other questions? All those in favor opposed
abstain passes 502. Thank you. Um next up we have operations and technology facility use request. Um, under
number one, junior senior high flare point gyms for Miami County video basketball from October 25 to February of 26th. Dates and times per building vary. Uh, request usage fees be waved. Um, they will pay custodial fees.
Do you want to take these at or you want to take them all? >> We do them as a block. I motion to accept one through three. >> Thank you. Second that. >> Thank you, Dr. Quinn. Perfect. Any any questions on any of those? >> These have been long-standing for a long time. It's good program.
>> Very good. All those in favor? >> It is unanimous. Thank you. >> Uh headed into personnel section 7 uh recommendation for classified positions. one math aid at the junior senior high >> and then um the ma a maintenance
technician. I need a motion to accept those. >> So moved. >> Thank you, M. Justice. Second. >> Second. >> Thank you, Dr. Quinn. Any questions or comments? >> All those in favor? >> Unanimous. Thank you. >> Next, we have a recommendation for dire
director salary increase. Um, you can see that in front of you, a salary increase to up to $50,000 u for that individual uh in the the foods department. And we feel this is uh appropriate and brings
that person in line with um other directors um within our framework. So that is uh there for your consideration for approval this evening. >> Motion to approve the recommendation. >> Thank you, Dr. Thank you, Miss Justice. Any questions or comments?
All those in favor is unanimous. Thank you. >> Next up, go ahead. >> Uh recommendation for extracurricular positions. Uh you'll see a choir director for the high school, choir director for the junior high. >> Motion to accept one and two.
>> Thank you, M. Justice. Second. >> Second. >> Thank you, Mr. Hoover. Any questions or comments? >> This just ECA, right? This is ECA. >> Yes. Am I correct? >> Yeah. >> All those in favor.
Thank you. >> Next page, letter D, you have a uh nine uh folks recommendation for various uh subs, custodians, nurse, bus driver, etc.
>> As per usual, I would entertain a motion to accept all of them unless someone has one they would like to extract. Motion to accept one through nine. >> Thank you, Mr. Justice. Second. >> Second. >> Thank you, Mr. Any comments or questions?
>> All those in favor? >> Thank you. >> Next up, letter E, recommendation for certified staff recruitment retention stipens. Uh, Miss Iner, I'll have you uh kind of briefly give us u dynamics of
that pot of money, if you will, and um and why these three are receiving that. >> We have in our title two grant, we have money set aside every time we write it for recruitment retention money and if
it is not used, then we basically just lose that money as a corporation. Um, so in order to not lose that money and we had three new teachers that were hired, we proposed to provide them with this stipen so that we don't lose money and
it kind of helps the teachers that we've just hired. >> Thank you, Miss Were these new teachers new teachers or new teachers just us? Uh, two and three are first year teachers and one is
believe she's in her third or fourth year. Mr. Matthews, >> year four. >> Year fourth >> starting >> because she is new to us. Do >> I have a motion to accept those as presented? >> Motion to accept. >> Thank you, Dr. Quinn. >> Second, Miss
>> Justice. >> Second. >> Thank you. Any other questions or comments? >> When does that grant run out? End of the year. >> So, I have to have it spent by September 30th. >> I just got the allocation yesterday. >> Any other questions? All those in favor?
>> It is unanimous. Moving on. >> And letter F. U we have one resignation uh for an ECA for your approval. I would entertain a motion to accept that as presented. >> So move. >> Thank you, Miss Justice. Second. >> Second.
>> Thank you, Mr. Ellis. Any comments or questions? >> All those in favor? >> Letter G, we have a request to attend a conference by a staff member. And this is to attend meetings with three art schools uh in Charlotte, North
Carolina. Again, Miss Inor, if you could kind of give just a general overview of how that's being uh funded. >> Yeah. So, again, this is title two funding. Um, this is our title 2 is also used for a lot of our PD that we do through the school and this qualifies as
a professional development and we can pay for this sort of travel and stuff through the title too. And I have money that I need to use so for the section 30. Thank you, Mort. >> I would entertain a motion to accept the request.
>> So move. >> Thank you, M. Justice. >> Second. >> Second. >> Thank you, Mr. Fuller. >> Any questions or comments? All those in favor? Unanimous. Thank you. Um on to the budget portion. Um, first
we have claims, Miss Inert. >> Yes. >> The floor is yours. >> Thank you. Um, I just want to point out one adjustment to our claims. On page 26, the Ortman drilling, what was sent to you has it coming out
of operations. That is actually supposed to be coming out of bond 22 because we still have some funding there. So, that's that was a change that we made kind of after this was done. So, just wanted to let you guys know. Are there any questions regarding
claims? >> I would entertain a motion to accept those as presended. >> So, move. >> Thank you, Miss Justice. Second. >> Second. >> Thank you, Dr. Penny. Um, do we have any questions about the claims? Hearing none. All those in favor?
It is unanimous. Thank you. In your up. >> All right. Um for our fund monitoring report, we have collected 77.7% of our 2025 budget. We had uh you'll see the
salary and benefit lines are a little higher this month because we had three payrolls in August. Um, but we have only dispersed 69.7% of our 2025 budget. So, we're we're looking good there. Our debt service, we've had no activity.
Operations fund, we've collected 48% due to property taxes only coming in June and December again because of that three payroll. Payroll benefits went up a little bit higher this month than the difference. Um, but we've only dispersed 63.2% of
our budget. So, I'd say we're we're right on target where we should be there. Our rainy day fund, we had no activity in August. Our 2022 bond series, we are spending down this bond. We're getting down to to the latter half
of it. Um, our 24 bond, we are starting now to increase our spending in that as the projects are beginning. We have started to see some of the smaller bills starting to come through. So be looking activity will be ramping up on that as
projects start going and then our food service fund we should be receiving we have a meeting tomorrow we should be receiving our first invoices from Sharkwells after that meeting but we have developed a pretty good healthy
cash balance there so when those come in we shouldn't have any surprises we should be able to pay that just fine >> that is all >> that is all >> thank you miss here. >> Yeah. >> Um I would accept a motion to accept that as presented the fund monitor and
report. >> Thank you, M. Justice. >> Second. >> Second. >> Thank you, Mr. Ellis. Any discussions, comments, questions? Hearing none. All those in favor? It is
unanimous. Um, next up we have additional appropriation that we talked about earlier in the public hearing. Miss Inger, yours once again. >> Yes. Just bring this back to you for for approval. We would like to extend our appropriation
for our 2025 budget and education by 800,000 and operation by 300,000. Um, and that is what I'm asking for tonight. >> Thank you, Miss Inger. I would entertain a motion to accept the appropriation as
presented. >> So moved. >> Thank you, Dr. Pennington. Second >> second. >> Thank you, Mr. Fuller. Any comments or questions? Hearing none. All those in favor? It is
unanimous. Thank you. Um, finally, we have board member comments. Anyone? >> I'll just say uh beginning of school year, I want to say thank you to all the janitors and maintenance people first and foremost for getting schools ready.
Uh secretaries, they are the first people everybody sees in the office or any schools. Um great job out from the secretaries, janitors maintenance, lunch ladies, learning chart wells, learning their new system, everything, support staff, teachers, um admin here at um at
this building and all the administrators. Thanks for getting schools to a great start at the beginning of the year. Uh outside looks great all around the campus. Inside looks great from all the buildings. So want to say thank you. >> Thank you, Mr. Ellis. Anyone else?
>> I would like to add one thing on the Chartwells topic. I did have a parent stop me at a football game the other night um that said that their student has been a student for 10 grades and has never ate school lunch until this year. So apparently we are doing something
right. wanted to pass that along. Anyone else? Mr. McCorm to follow up on Mr. Ellis, his comments, which are appreciated. We are settled in to the 2526 school year. Got a lot of
great things going on. We're juggling a lot of balls right now, but we in a recent admin team meeting, you know, we are now getting to that point where we're going to start checking on things. >> Um, accountability is important. You know,
you can't lay out goals and raise expectations and then not hold everyone, including me, accountable for making sure those things get done or problems do come, you know, do arise every day.
And we we tend to those regularly. But that will be an important piece, you know, kind of as we've gotten the school year started is just followup and um troubleshooting, making sure things are are running as they should be. And I too
appreciate the principles, our directors, teachers, you know, really some great things going on right now across our district. And on October 5th, we have our administrators cut golf outing. Um I think we have around a dozen teams committed already.
We're looking for 24 teams. No pressure on the principles at all. Uh I mean, I would never put pressure on them via emails or anything like that, but uh yeah, and I want to thank um Mr. Batty. He's been doing some work behind the
scenes on on sponsorships. Mr. Ellis has been, I think, generating some some gift cards and things from the community. So, much appreciated everyone who's pitching in. That's all I have. >> Thank you, Mr. McCormick. I would entertain a motion to adjurnn. >> So move.
>> Thank you.
