Second and then we're going to do a uh M. Sadler is going to do a roll call vote. >> Roll call. >> Mr. Turner. I >> Mrs. Trans Tranchet >> Mr. Allen >> Mr. Flu
>> Hi >> Mr. Henson. >> I passes 5 to zero. >> Superintendent report. Okay. 3.1 recommendation of personnel. I'll go through each provide some explanation. I'm happy to answer any questions the board may have that appropriate for this
setting. Uh under 311 certified retirement resignations leaves. Hannah Weebly has submitted her resignation as elementary school teacher first grade position. Dana Poe has submitted her resignation as a high school resource teacher. Janet Anttol has given us
notice of her retirement as the essential skills teacher at the elementary school. Under three 312, sorry. Okay. Certified employment recommendations. Mandated future trial is a recommendation to hire the middle school resource teacher. Uh
recommendation to hire Brian Graham as an district athletic director. This would be a stipen position. Annually reviewable annually annually renewable would report to the superintendent. The middle school athletic coordinator
position would be under his evaluation and his administration leadership be reviewed by uh 313 nonert retirement resignation needs. Robert Benton has submitted a resignation as the high school
instructional assistant. We'll see Bob um figuratively and literally here in just a moment, but recommendation below. Crystal Hyatt um resigning as a prek instructional assistant. Then under 314 nonert employment, Katherine Mau higher
recommendation as high school secretary. Some of you may remember Cath Katherine um served as our Spanish sub and has a quite an interesting resume. Um, she's ex-military and has an incredible amount of practical on the ground leadership
experience. Handling the front office will be a walk in the park for her. Uh, Robert Denton again um Bob is recommendation to hire as a technology assistant and finally Crystal hire as an instructional assistant um at the
elementary school. >> Excuse me. 315 ECA resignations. Wyatt Roby has submitted a resignation as a high school boys assistant tennis coach. Kevin Patrick submitted a resignation as a high school football assistant coach. That's related to a change in job for
him. And then James Pollston has submitted his resation notice as the high school boys head coach for golf. Finally, under 316 recommendation to hire Mr. Colston as the high school girls head basketball coach. Happy to entertain any questions.
How's it going with the C certified staff with those moving? >> Uh, we're in decent shape. Special ed's a tough job. Look, it's it's a rough gig. One, there's not enough licensed folks in the state. Mrs. Mullins is
working really hard. I'm optimistic that we'll be fully staffed by the time we get to August. Um, we have we have one teaching opening. Is that right? Still posted. >> Yes, we have one. We'll see. Special
questions on personal requires motion again. >> So we'll run this the same thing way we did the last one. >> So moved. >> Second by Mr. Allen. >> Okay. Roll call. Mr. Turner. >> I
>> Mrs. Transit. >> I. >> Mr. Allen. >> Hi. >> Mr. Clue. I >> and Mr. Hensler >> I passes 5 Z. >> Good. Thank you. Uh 32 is a recommendation to accept donations. We
have one. This is to the Triton Central Schools History Club in honor of Otis Alexander from James Alexander who I believe is his son for an amount of $100. I would recommend that we graciously accept the donation in
history. Motion second. So second >> roll call. Mr. Turner, >> Mrs. Transit, >> I >> Mr. Allen, Mr. Clair, >> I >> and Mr. Hinsley. >> I passes 5 to zero.
>> 3.3 is a recommendation to approve. It's a it's an overnight field trip for the cheer squad to go to Anderson University. This camp runs from July 21st through the 24th. So it's instate um but it is overnight. So per board
policy as you guys know requires approval from the board. We have a motion in a second. >> I move to approve the overnight chair. >> I'll second. >> Roll call. Mr. Turner >> I.
>> Mrs. Strange I Mr. Allen. >> Mr. Cl. >> Mr. Hinsler. I pass this question >> 3.4 is a recommendation to approve the 2026 2027 capacity statement in
accordance with state statute. Each school corporation in Indiana must annually pass um what their capacity statement is and what this is is it's twofold. If you're open for transfers, which we
are, you have to stipulate two things. what is the maximum number of students that you would accept in any grade level cohort and then what is the last date upon which you'll accept transfer requests. Okay, so both of those pieces are in here. Um we have set for many
years the grade level of 150. Um if if we were to ever get to 150 there's a mechanism by which there's a lottery. Um what a nice problem to have in the current environment. We're nowhere near even close to that being an issue. We
have plenty of space for kids. I'm probably more relevant is that September 4th is the date that we're recommending for the cut off of transfers. That's approximately one month after the start of school. And what we find is that those who are
coming to us make their way to us by the fourth week after start school. anything after that. There's a minor number of motivations for wanting to change schools. September happy to answer any questions about it. >> And that's a full month or so before the
count. Yeah, great question. October 2nd's the count almost before 30 days ahead of the state count. >> If there are no questions, we need a motion and a second. I'll go ahead and motion to accept the 2627 capacity statement. Second by Mr. Allen.
>> Okay. Roll call. Mr. Turner. >> I. >> Mrs. Transit. >> I. >> Mr. Allen. >> Mr. Clue. >> Hi. >> Mr. Hler. >> Hi. >> Mrs. 50. >> Very good. Okay. 3.5 is um a little
different. I want to give you some background on this and then this will um dovtail nicely into the financial presentation from Mrs. Aal later. So, this recommendation is to approve a resolution which is included in blue sky
um on your agenda that would allow the school to under Indiana code move uh an amount of money that is lost to tax caps as a result of the supplemental homestead credit that was put in place
in this last session. Wilson, can you hear me? Okay. >> Yep. Sure can. So in essence guys, here's what happened is you approved the budget in the fall of 25 and it set our tax levies and our tax rates, right? And we build a budget
based off that. In the spring of this year, 26, the legislature passed Senate Roll, which we've talked about some length in here, significantly changes assessment, significantly impacts in a negative way levies raised by local
taxing units. Okay. So we had already established a plan for this journey of 2026 and then in the first quarter of it some of the rules and engagement changed rather dramatically. So as an acknowledgement to that the legislature
provided the opportunity and the ability one time just in calendar year 26 for school corporations to move some money from debt service into operations to offset that levy loss. without getting real deep in the weeds.
What it comes down to is debt service is a protected levy. In other words, the one, two, 3% circuit breakers constitutionally don't impact debt service by law. >> And the logic behind that actually really sound, okay? Because we and you,
it's a governing body, we have an obligation to the holders of that debt, right? To keep them whole and pay them. And so if you have tax credit losses from revenue to get debt service, there are schools in different demographic than ours that frankly wouldn't be able
to raise enough debt service levy to pay their legal obligations. You guys following me? We don't have that here because we don't have circuit breaker losses necessarily that IPS or our neighbors in the north Franklin Township have. Okay.
SCA1 does impact operations and operations is a fund that is now under duress and will continue to be under duress right from a revenue standpoint as long as sea1 are is the rules in the law. So, what
this does, it allows us to move $110, and I think $41 or $47 change from debt service into operations this one time to make up for the fact that we planned on a levy and ops that would be short by
$231,000 this year. If we don't make the move, we don't we're not given the ability to move to two full 231 from debt in, right? based off what portion of the overall rate the operations tax. You guys
tracking with me? Okay. So, we need to do this. We get to do this this one time as we're developing the 27 budget. What happens is this mechanism goes away and we'll have to plan for the full impact
of the homestead supplemental homestead against operations. That's about $241,000 of lost revenue for 2027. It's a fair amount of change about about 10% increase. Okay. So, this year this keeps us whole. It's a bridge so that we
have time to plan. And I say this >> grateful for the legislature giving us the ability to move some, right? Because we made a set of assumptions and decisions based off something that was true in the fall and the winter 2025. Frankly, is not the case now.
does require a motion and a second. I'm happy to try and answer any questions you guys have about that. It's it's a permanent fund transfer cash balance of debt service healthy enough it can handle it be fine. >> Okay. >> That just means that that amount will
not be available to the project, right? >> Not not not with the current project that we're going to go to. >> Well, just in general the amount of money we have there to spend on projects. Uh yeah, our our ability to pay our bond orders go down. Now what we
have is and this is a talk about it is the 2010 construction bond rolls off on 1231. So by law we were keeping 50% of the payment in cash. Any new debt taken
after July 1 of 2014 it's only 15%. So our debt service cash balance was trending down by statute. There's there's plenty of money in there to cut at this point in time. What it would likely do is not impact our ability to pay our current bond holders.
>> It will impact the rate by which we might go issue the new >> Yeah. Right. >> Because that that revenue cut takes full effect then. >> It's a great question. So not doesn't impact our ability now. Could impact our
ability to bond in the future and to what degree? >> Other questions? >> It's a one time deal. It has to be done between July 1 and December 31. We'll do it sometime within that half of the year from a cash balance standpoint. I mean
money's there now. We can deal not. It does require a motion to >> So we have a motion and a second. I move to approve the resolution of the contact. >> I'll second. >> Roll call. Mr. Turner.
>> I. >> Mrs. Tranchet. >> I. >> Mr. Allen. >> Hi. >> Mr. Ch. >> I. >> Mr. Hendler. >> Hi. >> 5 Z. >> Okay. The last 3.6 is an information only um piece. We'll I'll give you a
little bit of a update and then we have a tour available at the end and anyone that wants to go certainly go. We're going to walk both of the projects. Um Kevin's with us from Encore. Kevin's going to give us an update on the middle school project. I'll start with the elementary and then I'll hand it over to
you guys at You're going with us on the walk, correct? >> So the elementary restroom renovation is going absolutely fantastic. Can't say enough about the lease and their people on site, their safe superintendent. They are they're they're they've been really
good. Um, you know, there's a couple things in a project that make you sweat and you know that put you behind the timeline and your N chart. One of them is material showing up on time. Everything's here. Um, we they're you'll
see tonight they're already starting to do the epoxy floor tiles up. You're going to hang fixtures next week, correct? >> Wednesday. >> Wednesday. Right. So, I mean, and they're on site like water fountains ordered on site. So, like partitions ordered on their way. So, the material
supply logistics end of it sometimes bites you does not appear to be an issue. We've opened up all the walls. So, all the Oh my gosh. We didn't know that was there. Holy sn That that wasn't on the prints. We we've gotten through
that phase, right? Um so minus something completely unforeseen, we're not only on time, we're actually slightly ahead. And I think you'll see the quality of work is just so elementary going really well. You
guys know and I shared with you quite openly. I was concerned about that. Um these guys have really they can play. They know they can play. They're good. They're really good. said the same thing about middle school project. It's a far more complicated thing and it's going to be a little
antilimatic because when you go over to this building, you can see everything that's changing and being worked on. When we go to the middle school and we go in one of the rooms is done, right, Kevin, you're looking at go, "What did we buy?" Cuz it's either in the corner hidden or
it's all above the ceiling towel. We'll go through pieces are still working on the pieces that are finished. The 56 hallway got turned over this week, right? We're in the process of plan, moving furniture back in. MCOR has been a fantastic partner on this. Um, can't say enough about what they've done. I'm
going to let you give them some more of the details on what I gain. Sure. Fire away. Introduce yourself first. >> Yeah, Kevin Livix and I'm a project development engineer for Empor. So, I was fortunate enough to work with the great staff here and put this project together and I like to follow up on the
project throughout the construction phase as well. So, join the job or the uh progress meetings and give updates as you find folks like this. First of all, I'd like to say your your staff has been incredible. Barry, Bobby, uh everyone just very accommodating. Uh makes the
project smooth from the beginning and and keeps it going smoothly throughout the project. So, we do appreciate that. Um very interesting to hear the update on the elementary school because it's it's very similar to the project in progress for the middle school. Um,
>> you're going to join us on the walk, right? >> Yes. Absolutely. Yeah, I'll be able to go through and and answer questions that you have there and certainly tonight as well. Uh, we we did have a little bit of a hiccup with equipment delay. I think it was about 10 days. The units for the classrooms uh were delayed. I think it
was going to be a little longer and then they surprised us and we got them a little sooner than anticipated. We adjusted schedule and and kind of roll with the punches. Um, but as you'll see when we walk over there, as Chris mentioned, project's starting to come back together now. you know, if you walk through during the the heat of the
project, get floor covering everywhere, ceilings opened up. Um, piping, duct work, everything around. So, now we're starting into that hand out, close out phase as far as putting things back together. Um, you'll see some of the areas still opened up and still under construction, but all the units are
installed. Some of them are actually running now. Uh I don't know if they've got the cooling back on yet to those uh but they're they're running and controls are being uh worked on to get them ready for when the whole system comes back online. Um and then uh we're looking
forward to getting things cleaned up. Uh knock on wood a little bit ahead of schedule I think from where we're at. We'll still have few things to tidy up once school comes in. We're going to start the test and balance process during the summer. Can you explain to them what test? I don't know what it means, but can you explain to them what
test? >> So, we're changing over a system and replacing units. So, when we do that, we've got a new air distribution that's put in. We've got new valves that are on the hot and cold water side. So, test and balance comes in and sets the system
up per the design. So, they establish the flow rates and the water side and the air rates for the air that's that's coming out of the diffuser. So they get that all set up so you have nice even distribution and the system is operating the way it's designed to. So so that'll
start uh prior to school coming back in. We'll probably finish up once the building's loaded up. And then there there's a process for the temperature control system. You got to have the building loaded up to make sure you're getting it uh working properly and tweaked in and get the programming
worked through and commissioned. And that's kind of the final phase. Our commissioning engineer will come in and go over all the facts to make sure that it is installed and and working properly for mean 500 bodies plus staff train >> a little bit. Yeah, little bit of time.
We were fortunate enough to get the project started during your two week spring break. We did work in the gym in the multi-purpose room. So that worked out great to help us during the summer time. Happy to answer any questions. >> So what percentage are you hoping to
have done before school starts? I know you said you're hoping it would be close to being done like >> as far as the system installed, operational, and working 100%. The final checkouts and tweaking of the system, um
there's still going to be a bit of that to be done. They get the building loaded up and get it in its actual operating standards and the conditions in the building. So, we'll do that in August, maybe in the 1st of September, and then
we'll come back in the heating season and and get that taken care of. >> And this was one of the projects that we do have the like efficiency gains type guarantee. Will we get to see any of those numbers like as a comparison from the year
before like say month or whatever? Just the >> guaranteed savings contract, right? >> The uh the the kind. >> Sure. The contract itself is a stipulated savings. So when we did the engineering for the project, we also put
together the calculations for that. And so this is the energy that is expected to be um realized, energy savings expected to be realized when it's a stipulated contract. There's no formal measurement verification process uh from
a a legislation standpoint to to meet the uh the bill. It's an annual report that's sent to the school, signed and sent in. Obviously, you can look at utility bills for the building and do a comparison from year to year. Now, you
got some discrepancies on the conditions that you know coincide. So, it's not a true measured and verified system. >> Our plan is annually to have whether it's Kevin or someone else from come back and presentation on here's where
we're at. wasn't on the experience. >> Great. You're going to join us on the tour, right? >> Absolutely. Okay. Thank you. >> Can't say enough about Tyler Berman. Tyler, as you guys probably recognize the name Tyler's local, he's super. He's been >> No, he's a home run hitter. He's a home
run hitter. It's been great. He lives a mile from campus. So, you know, there's a lot of reasons why project works well. Um, certainly not having a lot of windshield time for him is great for him. That's been good for us, too. >> Okay, that takes us to the financial
report. I'm going to turn things over. >> This is I'm sorry. >> No, financial report for June. um education uh from January to June we operated in a
deficit of 186. Uh our plan is to make it up by the end of the uh year with the stacking changes that we kind of talked about last time. It will hit and show the second part um
of education. Um the new uh formula funding formula for the students um that was about a 2% increase and it starts July 1st. So our basic grant should show an increase on that. Um
October 2nd the count would be at a a reduction about 2 to 3% um in the ADM for that's that time that we usually lose students for whatever reasons. Life happens moving. >> Um
>> that's great. So in education, we're not going to have any new money. It'll offset >> because of the declining um again our goal is to break even. I mean we're we are still within our range
there on debt service. We had our payments and I'm glad Mr. Hope you did say that there were, if I understand it correctly, there's some districts that could not do that transfer because they couldn't they didn't have
enough cash balance. Um, so we were lucky because you could have opt out and they didn't give us a whole lot of time to make that decision. So, uh, we jumped on that one to get that. So, and like Mr. Hook said, it's a one time shop. Um,
we have our payments. Um again, we won't have any uh activity on payments until December. You can see our property tax came in. Um hallelujah. Um that the
revenue and debt and then operations. Look at this. We pulled it out. Um we ended up with operations. We're still in a little bit of a deficit that we will uh we got plans. you know, we do
the same thing of cutting off purchasing. Um, I think it was 80% deficit in operations from January to January. >> 80,000 is >> Was it just >> 80 grand? >> 80 grand. >> Yeah. About 80%.
>> Oh, no. 80 grand. Sorry. Thank you. >> I'm not sure we can recover. >> No, we Yeah, we've already been down that path. Um, so we are hoping to pull that out at the end of December also and break even.
That sea 1 effects operations and like Mr. Hook said, it's going to hit us. We're going to be struggling. Um, rainy day, no activity. But as you know the weather people say a
popup shower can happen at any time. >> Hopefully we won't need to dip into it, but we will bring that back if it comes up. >> Sweet hunt. >> Um over the summer they do a lot of repairs, a lot of tuneups, a lot of
cleaning up the grease um and little expenditures with chart wells. So now we're at that time we start building that fund back up and school launch. So Blake's been on top of it. So I feel
pretty confident there too. Any questions? I try to go fast. >> All right. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> All right. At this time, input from the board members. We'll start with Mr. Turner.
>> No comments this month. Mr. >> Trench starter. I don't know. >> Congrats. >> Be fun. And >> I think this >> congrats you guys.
>> Uh, thank you to all the new hires. Uh, Coach Pollson, congrats on the leading role. uh lead that charge and uh thank you everybody else for uh getting us all set up for the next next school year to see.
>> I want to say that we started FTA football tonight. So there's over 100 players out there, boys and girls, uh with their first practice tonight. Congratulations to Mr. Pston and your family. Congratulations to Mr. Denton on your new position and Mr. Graham with
your new new role. Uh, thank you for stepping up with the the roll call vote tonight. Thank you for your lead invocation. Thank you. >> Bob, welcome to the new role. Bob is an example of growing your own. You know,
Bob's worked summers with it for last three. >> Yeah. And uh he's going to be phenomenal. I'm excited. Thank you. Continue to serve our kids. >> It'll he's he's going to be really
really good. Uh, Mr. Pollston, the Joe Bradburn tree continues to sprout branches. I'm excited for you and I'm excited for our kids. Can't wait to watch team play. Mr. Graham, look forward to working more closely with you and directly and developing our programs
even more and making them even better for kids. Future's bright. Thanks to the board for your support, particularly with the SCA. One thing that's going to be an ongoing challenge for us as you guys know. Um, and then
we'll get harder before it gets easier. We're we're in the position, Mrs. Oenball said, we have some some levers. We have some things that we can do. We're not missing. >> I think there's going to be 50 referendums around this fall. Of course, we're not amongst the number. We're a
long way away from that. >> Are those already like filed or there? I think to get them on the November ballot, they've already had to do it. >> Yeah, to be honest with you, because I knew that wasn't something we're going to do. That's not a timeline I'm
>> dialed in to in detail and I hope to never have to do that. >> So, appreciate you guys. As we work through the budget process this fall, there's some things we're going to have to do and there's there's some things we've already done with
right sizing the district and we'll continue to do that. Terry, thank you to your folks. We won't have a chance to acknowledge that publicly before we start back to school, but the hardest part for them is about to happen because we're going to turn two buildings around in about 3 weeks
and they've been phenomenal all summer. Place looks great. Um, real work's getting ready to happen here in next month. >> All right. Do we need a motion and a second to adjourn? So, motion by Mr. Allen.
>> Second. Second by Mr. Plug. >> Roll call. Mr. Turner. >> Hi. >> Mrs. Tran. >> I. >> Mr. Allen. >> Hi. >> Mr. Poo. >> Hi. >> Mr. Hendler. >> Hi. >> Okay. Mr. Graham, you want to get a
picture? Mr. Pulson and his family we can use for social media, right? >> I already got it. >> Oh, you already did? Yes.
