Dec 08, 2021 Board Meeting

[1. Meeting Opening]

[00:00:08]

>>> WELCOME EVERYONE. I CALL THIS MEETING TO ORDER.

PLEASE STAND FOR THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.

>> I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE 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.

[2. Snapshots of Success]

>> UP FIRST WE HAVE OUR SNAPSHOT OF SUCCESS WITH EMILY PACE

ABBOTTS. >> GOOD EVENING.

SO TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO BE FEATURING OUR O HAMILTON SOUTHEASTERN FISHERS ACADEMY AND WE HAVE OUR DIRECTOR OF THE ACADEMY AND OUR COUNCILOR OF THE ACADEMY BRANDON CLOUD, THEY'RE SITTING IN THE BACK, AND AFTER WE PLAY A QUICK VIDEO ABOUT THEIR PROGRAM I'M SURE MICHELLE WILL BE HAPPY TO HEAR HOW THEY'RE USING OUR STUDENTS TO FILL SOME HOLES.

>> NOT ALL LESSONS TAKE PLACE WITHIN THE FOUR WALLS OF A

CLASSROOM. >> [INDISCERNIBLE]

>>> MORE THAN 60 STUDENTS FROM THE HAMILTON SOUTHEASTERN FISHERS ACADEMY ARE GAINING REAL LIFE SKILLS ON WORKING IN THE

LOCAL JOB FORCE, INCLUDING H FC. >> WE'VE PARTNERED WITH FOOD SERVICE AND TRANSPORTATION, OUR STUDENTS ARE FILLING IN A GAP BECAUSE THERE'S A LABOR SHORTAGE, BUT WE ALSO SAW THE BENEFIT IN OUR STUDENTS BEING ABLE THE GIVE BACK.

>> AMELIA DAY AND ASHLEY RIVAL ARE EARNING AND LEARNING A WAGE, THEY WORK EVERY DAY WHILE COMPLETELYING THEIR CREDITED

NEEDED TO GRADUATE. >> I ENJOY BEING AROUND KIDS.

>> STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE A WORK BASED EXPERIENCE.

>> SO THEY DECIDED THERE'S FOOD SERVICE AND IF YOU IF YOU WANT O

THAT. >> FOR THOSE STUDENTS STILL UNSURE OF WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO DO IN THE FUTURE --

>> WORK BASED EXPERIENCES ARE PROVING TO BE VALUABLE

OPPORTUNITIES. >> IT IS NEAT TO SEE THEM GROW IN MANY WAYS, AS FAR AS PUNCTUALITY OR CUSTOMER SERVICE EVEN THOUGH THE CUSTOMER MIGHT BE THE STUDENTS THEY'RE SERVE

SERVEING. >>> SO I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE MR. SIMMONS AND MR. CLOUD UP HERE IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PROGRAM AND HOW THEY'RE SERVING OUR STUDENTS CURRENTLY.

>> WELCOME. >> THANK YOU.

>> THANKS FOR JOINING US TONIGHT.

>> THANKS FOR HAVING US. >> THAT WAS A GREAT EXPLAIN OF THE PROGRAM BUT TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT -- SO WE SAW FOOD SERVICES AND THEN SOMEONE I THINK EMILY PROBABLY IN THE VIDEO MENTIONED INTERESTING. TELL US A LITTLE MORE THOUGHT

ABOUT THAT. >> SURE.

WE SAT DOW WITH ZACH MCKINNEY A LITTLE WHILE AGO AND TALKED ABOUT AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A STUDENT WORK THERE, AND THEN LET MR. CLOUD TALK ABOUT THE DETAILS OF WHAT THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE AND WHAT THE STUDENTS WOULD BE DOING IN INTERESTING.

>> SO OUR GOAL IS TO TARGET THE HIGH DEMAND, HIGH SKILLED WORK FORCE, THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE'RE AFTER AND OUR TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT HAS A LOT OF THAT TO OFFER SO WE TAKE A LOOK AT STUDENTS BEING INVOLVED IN THE INDUSTRY AS RELATES TO TRANSPORTATION, THAT WOULD BE THE LOGISTICS OR THE MOVEMENT OF RAW MATERIAL AS WELL AS THE TECHNICIANS THAT SERVICE THE BUSES. ZACH WAS JUST REALLY GREAT TO WORK WITH, OUR FOOD SERVICE IS SET UP WITH ANDREA RICE AND WE WANT TO GIVE A SHOTOUT TO HER AS WELL.

>> SO IF I HEAR YOU CORRECTLY OUR STUDENTS GO EXPERIENCE OF DEALING WITH OTHERS AND I HEARD A MENTION OF BEING PUNCTUAL, THEY GET PAID SO THEY'RE EARNING A LITTLE MONEY, SO WHAT OTHER BENEFITS HAVE I MISS THAT THEY'RE GETTING?

>> I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THE VALUE PROPPING OF THE ACADEMY IS MORE THAN EARNING A GRADUATION DIPLOMA BUT IT'S ALSO THE ENHANCED LEARNING EXPERIENCES THAT THEY GET TO COME IN CONTACT WITH THROUGH THE ACADEMY, SO FOR EXAMPLE WE HAVE OTHER OPPORTUNITY WHERE WE HAVE GUEST TEACHERS COME IN AND DO PAINTING, FOR EXAMPLE, SO THEY LEARN HOW TO EXPLORE THEIR ARTISTIC SIDE. WE HAVE GUEST TEACHERS THAT COME IN AND DO COFFEE MAKE STOP-AND-GO THEY GET TO EXPLORE SOMETHING THEY MAY BE INTERESTED IN AS A CAREER.

WE ALSO GO D.O. TRIPS SO THERE'S OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOOK AT THINGS

[00:05:06]

>> SO SINCE WE ARE AN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE CAN I PUT A PLUG IN FOR SOME WHO MIGHT HAVE A LOVE FOR TEACHING, CAN WE LOOK T A A WAY TO EXPOSE OUR STUDENTS TO THE CLASSROOM AND GO

TO SCHOOL AND BECOME ANGERING? >> ABSOLUTELY.

>> THANK YOU. THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

>> I LOVE THE HACK. ACT, I'VE BEEN AROUND SINCE IT STARTED. HAS IT BEEN SIX YEARS IN.

>> THIS IS OUR FIFTH YEAR. >> FIFTH AREA.

WHAT IS THE ENROLLMENT? >> WE HAVE 120 STUDENTS ACROSS THE DISTRICT. WE HAVE 60 IN OUR OFF-SITE, 30 AT FISH, AND 30 AT HF AND THEN WE JUST GOT SOME ADDITIONAL SPOTS FOR OUR EVENING SESSION FOR ANOTHER 15 STUDENTS SO THAT WOULD BE A TOTAL OF ONE THIRTY-FIVE KIDS.

>> AND I WILL SAY THE GRADUATE RATE OF THE ACADEMY, WHICH IS FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD KIDS WHO ARE RISK OF NOT

GRADUATING -- >> THAT'S CORRECT.

>> IS HIGHER THAN A LOT OF DISTRICTS AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO THE GRADUATION RATE.

>> I CAN. I'M PROUD TO SAY THAT OUR GRADUATION RATE FROM YEAR TO YEAR FLUCTUATES FROM NINE FIRE TO 97 PERCENT AND IT'S GOT A LOT TO DO WITH OUR WORK BASED LEARNING PROGRAM. WE LOOK AT ALTERNATIVE WAYS TO EARN THOSE WORK BASE CREDITED AND WE HAVE A PHENOMENAL TEACHING STAFF THAT FINDS UNIQUE WAYS TO REACH KID ASKS WHEN THEY COME TO US THEY'RE IN A DEFICIT AND WE GET THEM ACROSS THE LINE ON TIME 95 TO 97 PERCENT OF THE TIME.

>> IT'S JUST SUCH A WONDERFUL MODEL AND IT'S JUST BEEN NOTHING BUT SUCCESSFUL AND WE HAD A MEETING THERE YEARS AGO, AND I STAYED AFTER AND TALKED WITH BRANDON AND THE PRINCIPAL AND ONE OF THE THINGS I WAS IMPRESSED WITH IS THEY DON'T JUST TEACH ACADEMICS BUT YOU WERE WORKING ON BUDGETING WITH THEM AND I THOUGHT ALL THESE REAL LIFE EXPERIENCES WE'RE SETTING THEM UP FOR SUCCESS AND I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GREAT THINGS

ABOUT THAT PROGRAM. >> WOE DO A WORKDAY WITNESS, I HEARD SO MANY ADULTS SAY I WISH I WOULD HAVE HEARD ABOUT THAT IN HIGH SCHOOL, WELL WE'RE DOING IT EVERY WEDNESDAY.

>> DID I HEAR YOU SAY YOU HAVE I HAVE EVERYTHING CLASSES TOO?

>> CORRECT. >> SO THEN THEY CAN DO CLASSES

AT NIGHT. >> THAT'S RIGHT.

>> EXCELLENCE. >>> HOW DO KIDS QUALIFY? I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S THE RIGHT MESSAGE, BUT HOW DO THEY QUALIFY IN BECAUSE IT'S BASED ON WHAT YOU SAID WE HAVE LESS THAN

ONE PERCENT OF OUR -- >> SURE.

>> I DON'T KNOW IF ONE PERCENT AACROSS THE STREET CROSS THE DISTRICT BUT THIS WOULD BE NINE THROUGH 12.

SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT PERCENTAGE THAT REPRESENTS BUT IS THAT -- YOU SAY YOU HAVE 120 MOVING TO 135, THAT SOMETHING THAT IS AVAILABLE TO 200 OR 300 KIDS IF WE HAD THAT MANY THAT WANTED TO

DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT? >> SURE, WE COULD ACCOMMODATE THAT MANY KIDS WE ABSOLUTELY WOULD.

OF COURSE WE HAVE STATE REGULATIONS, WE HAVE TO BE 15 TO ONE WITH OUR STUDENT TO TEACHER RATIO BUT IT'S A REFERRAL PROCESS SO COUNCILORS SEE KIDS THAT ARE STRUGGLING AND WE HAVE AWESOME DEANS THAT KIND OF ARE THE GATE KEEPERS IS WHAT WE CALL THEM FOR KIDS THAT COME INTO THE PROGRAM.

ONE OF THE THINGS I THINK IS UNIQUE ABOUT WHAT WE DO IN HAMILTON SOUTHEASTERN SCHOOLS VERSUS OTHER ALTERNATIVE PROGRAM THAT IS I'M FAMILIAR WITH OR THAT I'VE WORKED IN THAT WE REALLY DO CUSTOMIZE THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR EACH STUDENT AND WE'RE PARTICULAR ABOUT THE TYPE OF STUDENTS THAT COME TO US BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE SET THEM UP FOR SUCCESS.

SO THEY GET REFERRED. WE HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THEM, WE WORK CLOSELY WITH OUR COUNCILORS AND THE DEANS AND ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS TO MAKE SURE THE KIDS THAT ARE COMING TO US ARE KIDS THAT CAN BE SUCCESSFUL ONCE WE GET THEM.

>>> I DO WANT TO ADD TO THAT, WE HAVE PRETTY LENGTHY WAITING LIST AT BOTH HIGH SCHOOLS THAT BOTH HIGH SCHOOLS MANAGE, SO IT WOULD BE GREAT IF WE COULD MEET THE NEEDS OF MORE KIDS.

>> ABSOLUTELY. THE EVERYTHING SESSION, THAT'S WHY WE OPENED THAT BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT

NEEDED EXTRA SUPPORT. >> HOW BIG SAT WAITING LIST?

>> IT'S PROBABLY AT LEAST THE SIZE THAT WE CURRENTLY HOLD.

>> YOU COULD DOUBLE EASILY? >> YES.

[00:10:02]

>> WHAT HOLDS YOU BACK FROM DOING THAT?

>> THE INDIANA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION REGULATES OUR STAFFING 15-1 AND THAT'S REALLY A NON-NEGOTIABLE POINT.

SO WE'RE LIMITED BY STAFF AND IN THE MIDST OF SQUARE FOOTAGE BUT THAT'S A MINOR PROBLEM, MORE STAFF.

>> OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US TODAY. I LOVE THE PROGRAM.

[3. Consent Agenda]

SO IF I COULD GET A MOTION FOR 3.01.

>> MADAM PRESIDENT I MOVE TO AMEND AND REVISE THE BOARD MINUTES FOR NOVEMBER 10 IN SECTION 3.03 CLAIMS PAYROLLS 403(B) AND 457 SALARY REDUCTION AGREEMENTS TO INCLUDE DISCUSSION MONOTHE BOARD MEMBERS OF A CLAIM FOR INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR RESTORATIVE PRACTICE, TOOK PLACE FOR THE SCHOOL FACULTY TRAINING.

THE DISCUSSION AND THE BOARD MEETING LED BOARD MEMBERS TO VOTE NO. SO I WOULD LIKE TO AMEND THE

MINUTES TO ADD THAT, PLEASE. >> DO I HAVE A SECOND TO AMEND

THE MINUTES? >> I'LL SECOND THAT.

>> OKAY. MOTION METAL BY SUZANNE, SECONDED BY BRAD. I'LL KALE CALL FOR A VOTE.

>> I JUST POINT OF ORDER AS SECRETARY I WOULD NOTE THERE WAS NO MOTION TO APPROVE 3.01, IF THE BOARD IS CONSENT WITH MOVING FORWARD WITH MS. THOMAS' MOTION TO AMEND, I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY ISSUE WITH THAT BUT I WANT TO CLARIFY THAT WE'RE VOTING ON HER MOTION TO AMEND NOT TO APPROVE THE ACTUAL MINUTES.

>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR CLARITY. >> I'M FINE WITH THAT.

I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THAT.

>> OKAY. SARAH PARKS-REESE.

>> NO. >> MY SMELL FULLHART.

>> NO. >> BRAD BOYER.

>> YES. >> JANET PRITCHETT.

>> NO. >> SARAH DONSBACH BACH.

>> NO. >> SUZANNE THOMAS.

>> YES. >> AND I AM A NO.

SO THE BOARD MINUTES AREN'T AMENDED.

I APOLOGIZE SO I WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THEM.

>> MOTION TO APPROVE 3.01 BOARD MINUTES ON THE CONSENT GENTLED.

>> MOTION METAL BY MICHELLE, DO I HAVE A SECOND.

>> I WILL SECOND. >> SENTED BY JULIE.

>> POINT OF ORDER DO WE HAVE A DISCUSSION?

>> I WILL GO AHEAD LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT FOR THE DATA AND RESEARCH PRIOR THE BOARD'S LAST MEETING, THE ONLY ITEM OF CONCERN TO BE SEPARATED FROM THE VOTE WAS 3.03 CLAIMS PAYROLLS 403 -- WAS THE SPECIFIC PAYMENT NUMBER (100)021-2898 DATED NOVEMBER 10 OUT OF THE FUNDS. 971-7970 TOTALING THE AMOUNT OF 14,445. WHICH WAS TO BE PAID TO THE INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR RESTORATIVE PRACTICE TRAINING FOR THE SCHOOL FACULTY PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

IN THE DISCUSSION AT THE BOARD MEETING EXPLANATION RECEIVED ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR RESTORATIVE TRAINING THE PLUS CONCERNS RECEIVED FROM FACULTY AND PARENT COMMUNITY MY VOTE WAS NO. THIS IS WHY I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE I CLEAR TO AMEND THE BOARD MEETINGS TO INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING CINCH SENTENCE E-SENTENCE, DISCUSSION AMONG THE BOARD MEMBER O OS OF TOOK PLACE FOR THE SCHOOL FACULTY TRAINING, THE DISCUSSION IN THE BOARD MEETING LED BOARD MEMBERS BOYER AND THOMAS TO VOTE NO ON 3.03. I UNDERSTAND NOW THAT WE HAVE

[00:15:03]

>> THANK YOU. ANY OTHER COMMENTS?

>> I'M SORRY, YOUR AMENDED MOTION SAID THAT I BELIEVE THE DISCUSSION LED YOU TO VOTE NO, WHICH I BELIEVE THAT YOU PRIOR TO THE DISCUSSION YOU WERE GOING TO VOTE NO FOR IT SO I WOULD BE WILLING TO CLANG IT TO PUT WE HAD A DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT BUT I MINUTES AND I EXPLAINED THIS IN AN E-MAIL TO YOU THE MINUTE DON'T REHASH CONVERSATIONS, THEY JUST GIVE A RECORD OF WHAT WAS

CERTAIN WAYS. >> SO YOU'RE SAYING IF THE MINUTES WERE AMENDED TO INCLUDE THAT IT WAS JUST A DISCUSSION --

>> YOUR MOTION THEN THAT, THEN I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE VOTED FOR IT BUT YOURS WAS MORE DETAILED GIVEN THE WHY, NOT THE WHAT WE WERE VOTING ON, SO -- BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T AMEND THAT AND I

SAID -- >> NOW THAT WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND, MADAM PRESIDENT MAY I MAKE A MOTION TO AMEND THE CURRENT APPROVAL TO INCLUDE JUST THE SENTENCE DISCUSSION AMONG BOARD MEMBERS OF THE CLAIM FOR INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE OF RESTORATIVE PRACTICE TOOK PLACE FOR THE SCHOOL FACULTY TRAINING?

>> THAT COULD BE A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT, SO UNLESS THERE'S ANY OPPOSITION TO THAT AS I STANDS --

>> I WOULD BE FINE WITH IT. >> OKAY.

OKAY. NO OBJECTION, I'LL HAVE -- ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS ABOUT --

>> I DO LIKE THE ENACT WE'RE BREAKING THESE APART.

I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ALWAYS A NEED BUT OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS AS WE GROUP SOME OF THESE THINGS TOGETHER THERE ARE TIMES WHERE THERE IS A POINT IN THERE OR THERE IS SOMETHING WITH ONE ITEM THAT WHEN YOU -- IF YOU VOTE AGAINST IT IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE VOTING AGAINST EVERYTHING, WHEREAS THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY THE CASE, I DON'T KNOW THAT'S EVER BEEN THE CASE WHEN YOU VOTED NO WHEN THEY'RE GROUPED TOGETHER THAT ANY BOARD MEMBER PROBABLY VOTED NO AGAINST EVERYTHING BUT OFTEN TIME THERE'S BEEN SOMETHING THIS THAT GROUP THAT YOU FINDOABLE SO YOU VOTE AND I THINK SOMETIMES WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH DISCUSSION WITH THAT AND I DO THINK THAT I'VE BEEN IN THE SPOT AND PROBABLY OTHERS HAVE BEEN IN THE SPOT WHERE YOU SIMPLY VOTE BECAUSE IT'S A BLOCK AND THERE'S ONE THING IN THERE THAT YOU DON'T -- WHICH IS OKAY, SO IF WE DISCUSS THAT AND UNDERSTAND THAT AND PEOPLE GO BACK AND REFER TO THAT I THINK THAT'S ALL GOOD BUT I'M PERFECTLY GOOD WITH MOVING FORWARD LIKE WE ARE AND I LIKE THE WAY YOU CHOSE TO BREAK THOSE OUT.

>> I DO THAT AT BOARD MEMBER THOMAS' REQUEST, I THINK THERE'S MERIT TO DISCUSSION ABOUT A CONSENT AGENDA WHETHER WE HAVE IT OR NOT BUT HISTORICALLY IT'S JUST BECAUSE IT'S MUNDANE ITEMS THAT DON'T NEED OR SOMETIMES CAN'T HAVE A LOT OF DISCUSSION ANYWAY SO THAT'S THE REASON BEHIND IT.

SO WE CAN EXPLORE IT AS A BOARD WHAT WE -- IF WE WANT TO SEPARATE THOSE GOING FORWARD OR NOT.

SO THANK YOU FOR THAT COMMENT. ANY ONE ELSE? OKAY, WE HAVE A MOTION AND AN AMENDMENT ON THE FLOOR.

SO I WILL TAKE A VOTE FOR THE AMENDMENT FIRST.

NOPE, I WILL TAKE A VOTE -- ALL RIGHT.

I'LL HAVE JULIE CALL FOR THE VOTE.

ADJUST. 3.02, CERTIFIED AND SPORT STAFF REPORTS. I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO

APPROVE. >> I WOULD MOVE TO APPROVE 3.02.

>> I SECOND. >> MOTION MADE BY JULIE SECONDED BY SUE SHARP, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? , IF NOT WE CAN GO AHEAD AND CALL FOR THE VOTE ON THAT ONE.

THAT THE ITEM NUMBER 100-21-3126 BE PULLED OUT AND VOTE ON SEPARATELY AND FOR MY COMMENTS TO BE ATTACHED TO THIS MOTION AND ENTERED INTO RECORD AND THE BOARD MEETING MINUTES.

[00:20:03]

>> YEAH, DO WE HAVE -- >> I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT --

>> SO IF THERE THERE WAS ONE ITEM ONLY THAT I WOULD PREFER NOT TO VOTE FOR. SO MY QUESTION IS IF WE CAN'T PULL THE ITEM OUT THEN I'LL MAKE A DIFFERENT MOTION THAT MY COMMENTS BE ENTERED INTO RECORD WHICH IS A HARD COPY TO THE BOARD MINUTES. I CAN READ THOSE IF YOU WOULD

PREFER. >> FIRST WE NEED THE -- IS THAT

HOW WE'RE GOING TO DO IT NOW? >> I DON'T THINK EVERY MEETING HAS TO BE THIS WAY BUT THIS MEETING THERE ARE ITEMS THAT I

THINK NEED TO BE ADDRESSED. >> WHAT ARE THOSE ITEMS OR THAT IS THAT ITEM? I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT ITEM IS

SPECIFICALLY. >> WELL, CLAIM NUMBER (100)213-3126, HFC SCHOOLS HAS AGAIN APPROVED 6,250-DOLLAR PAYMENT TO THE ORGANIZATION THAT WAS LED TO BELIEVE WAS BEING PLACED REPLACED BY A VENDOR WITH A LESS CONTROVERSIAL KIM JONG-UN ONE. I REQUESTED THIS CLAIM 1,000,213,216 BE PAID ON O 12/8 FROM THE FUND ACCOUNT 3601 IN THE AMOUNT OF 6250 FOR THE CHILD ADVOCATE FOR UNDOING RACISM AND WORKSHOPS BE PULLED OUT OF THE CONSENT AGENDA SECTION TO BE VOTED ON SEPARATELY.

IF IT IS NOT THEN I'LL JUST VOTE NO TO THE ENTIRE CLAIM.

SO THAT WAS THE COMMENT THAT EITHER WE COULD ADD IT TO AND THEN LEAVE IT AS IS AND ADD IT TO THE MINUTES.

>> ARE THOSE FOR SERVICES THAT WE'VE ALREADY RECEIVED?

>> YES. >> YES, THAT'S WHAT --

>> OKAY. THAT'S THE WAY I UNDERSTOOD IT BUT I DIDN'T KNOW THAT FOR SURE BUT OKLAHOMA, THANK YOU FOR THAT

CLARIFICATION. >> AND SO AS TAKING OUTLINE ITEMS WE CAN PROCEED WITH A MOTION TO APPROVE AND THEN YOU COULD AMEND BUT I THINK SINCE YOU'VE ALREADY GIVEN YOUR EXPLANATION, AT THIS POINT I'M NOT SURE THAT THERE'S A NEED FOR

THAT. >> [INDISCERNIBLE].

>> YOU SAID WHY YOU WON'T VOTE FOR IT SO I --

>> BUT ALL THE OTHER ITEMS IN THE CLAIMS 303 I APPROVE.

SO I WOULD VOLT FOR THAT. >> WE CANNOT VOTE ON INDIVIDUAL

CLAIMS. >> WE CAN'T PULL ITEMS OUT?

>> WE DON'T DO THAT BECAUSE WE'RE JUST APPROVING PAYMENTS TO VENDORS THAT OUR DISTRICT HAS ALREADY --

>> AND I SUPPORT PAYING VENDORS FOR SERVICES WE USE.

BUT AS I SIT HERE I HAD BEEN INFORMED WE WERE NOT GOING TO USE THAT SERVICE ANY LONGER -- (SPEAKING SIMULTANEOUSLY.)

>> I DON'T RECALL THAT. I KNOW FISHERS CHAINED A VENDOR, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WE AS A BOARD LET DR. STOKES KNOW THAT.

>> AND THAT'S NOT OUR -- >> JULIE, TURN YOUR MICROPHONE

ON PLEASE. >> I APPRECIATE YOUR INFORMATION I I APPRECIATE HOW YOU EXPLAINED HOW THAT WORKS, I STILL SHARE MY OFFICIAL COMMENT THAT I SUPPORT ALL OTHER CLAIMS ON 3.03 EXCEPT FOR THE ONE LINE ITEM.

>> IS THERE A NOTION TO APPROVE 3.03?

ON TO CONSENT AGENDA. >> MOTION APPROVE ITEM 3.03 ON

THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENT. >> I SECOND.

>> MOTION METAL BY MICHELLE SECONDED BY JULIE.

I'LL HAVE JULIE CALL FOR THE VOTE.

3.04. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO

APPROVE. >> I MOVE TO APPROVE 3.04 AS

HAVE A SECOND. >> SECONDED BY SARAH PARKS-REESE. QUESTIONS, COMMUNITY COMMUNITY .

>> OKAY, CALL FOR THE VOTE.

>> MOTION PASSES. 3.05.

ILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE.

>> I MOVE THAT MY EXEMPTS BE ATTACHED TO THIS MOTION AND ENTERED INTO RECORD AND THE BOARD MEETING MINUTE MINUTES.

>> I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THOSE COMMENTS ARE AS A BOARD. AND I'M --

[00:25:07]

>> RIGHT NOW I JUST NEED TO -- WELL, I JUST NEED TO ENTERTAIN A

MOTION TO APPROVE THAT. >> I WILL REVISE THE AMENDMENT

TO SAY -- >> THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE AFTER

SOMEONE MAKES THE MOTION. >> OKAY.

>> SO I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE 3.05, ADMINISTRATIVE AND NONCERTIFIED

SALARIES AS PRESENTED. >> I'LL SECOND.

>> MOTION MADE BY BRAD, SENTED BY MICHELLE: COMMENTS.

>> YES, I MOVE TO ATTACH MY COMMENTS TO THE MEETING TO INCLUDE THE SALARY RECOMMENDATIONS ARE BEING PRESENTED TODAY TO H FC SCHOOL BOARD FOR APPROVAL BUT I DO NOT AGREE WITH SOME OF THE NON-MERIT BASED INCREASES GIVEN TO ADMINISTRATIVE POSITIONS AND THE INSUFFICIENT REASONS GIVEN TO O OUR OUR LOWST WAGE WORKERS, I DO APPRECIATE THE HARD WORK OF O OUR ADMINISTERING AND THIS PLAN DOES KEEP OUR SALARIES AMONG THE TOP IN THE STATE AND I AGREE WITH THAT.

WHILE I'M NOT . . . ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS?

I WILL -- >> I GUESS MY QUESTION IS WHAT ARE WE DOING WITH THAT OR WITHOUT THAT OR IS IT --

>> I'M JUST LETTING -- (SPEAKING SIMULTANEOUSLY.)

>> VERY GOOD. THANK YOU.

>> CAN I MAKE A QUICK COMMENT? I WOULD SAY THAT I THINK IT'S UNFAIR, WE SAT THROUGH MEETINGS AND TALKED ABOUT THESE THINGS, I HOPE THAT YOU'RE ALSO DOING THINGS OUTSIDE OF THIS BOARDROOM TO AFFECT CHANGE IN THOSE AREAS, THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT GO INTO THAT. BUT TO IMPLY THAT THE REST OF THE BOARD MEMBERS DON'T ALSO TAKE THOSE ISSUES SERIOUSLY I

THINK IS -- >> I DID NOT IMPLY ANYTHING TO THE BOARD, I APPRECIATED THE HARD WORK OF OUR ADMINISTRATION BUT I FEEL STRONGLY THAT WE DID NOT DO A GOOD ENOUGH JOB TO SUPPLY THE HARDSHIP WORKERS, SO I'M STILL GOING TO APPROVE THE SALARIES BECAUSE I THINK EVERYONE DESERVES THEM, BUT I FEEL THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO REALIZE MOVING FORWARD THAT WE PAY MORE ATTENTION OREGON TO GO THROUGH OUR BUDGET TO MAKE IT A

STRONGER -- STRONGER. >> OKAY.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? >> YES, I WOULD MAKE A COMMENT THAT I DO THINK WHEN WE DID THE -- WHEN E-WENT THROUGH THE MEETING OR HAD THE WORK SESSION -- OKAY, WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THESE THINGS, IT IS -- WE ARE IN A TOUGH RESPONSIBILITY SPOT BECAUSE WAGES HAVE INCREASED QUITE A QUITE A BIT AS UNFORTUNATELY THAT WE DON'T HAVE THE AIM FLEXIBILITY AND MAYBE THE SAME LIBERTY TO DO THAT AS PRIVATE ENTERPRISE BUT THAT'S HOW OUR HANDS ARE TIED. WE JUST DON'T HAVE IS IT MONEY AND CAN'T -- EVEN THOUGH STARTING WAGES AT MCDONALD'S OR CHICK-FIL-A ARE $17 AN HOUR WE DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO RAISE ALL THE -- YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE WAGE -- RAISE THE WAGES OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT WOULD MAYBE LEAVE HERE TO GO DO THAT.

WE JUST CAN'T RAISE THEM THAT HIGH.

WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY AND AS MUCH AS WE WOULD LIKE TO IT'S JUST A TOUGH SPOT AND OUR HANDS ARE TIED.

SO I WISH THERE WAS A WAY AROUND ITER IT JUST IS A DIFFICULT SPOT AND I HOPE EVERYBODY ROUSES THAT AND THAT WOULD BE MY -- ANYTHING WE CAN TO DO TO HELP ALLEVIATE THOSE ISSUE ARE WE CAN GET HELP, THAT WOULD BE GREAT BUT IT'S A TOUGH SPOT CAN WE JUST DON'T HAVE ANY REAL OPTION. WE'RE DOING WITH A WE CAN.

>> AND WE HAVE THE LEGISLATIVE BREAKFAST ON FRIDAY, WE CAN SPEAK TO OUR LOCAL LEGISLATORS ABOUT FUNDING SCHOOLS A BILL

LETTER SO WE CAN -- >> PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

[00:30:04]

>> YEAH, I MEAN, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE OUR FOOD SERVICE WORKERS HAVE A HUGE BUMP UP IN PAY BUT MY E-MAIL TO YOU I DID SAY WE'RE NOT A PRIVATE BUSINESS WHERE WE CAN JUST CHURN OUT MORE PRODUCT AND RAISE OUR PRICES AND GET MORE REVENUE.

THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS, WE HAVE BASICALLY THREE WAYS OF GETTING REVENUE, THE FUNDING FORMULA AND INCREASING OUR ENROLLMENT BUT THEN YOU HAVE TO HIRE MORE PEOPLE OR A REFERENDUM AND THE REFERENDUM IS A TEMPORARY THING, WE'RE AT THE WILL OF OUR PUBLIC WHETHER OR NOT THEY WILL AGREE TO IT.

>> THAT'S MORE REASON WHY TO MANGE IT KNOWN THAT CURRENTLY MAYBE TO HELP WITH THAT NOW THE MIGHT BE KNOWS THAT WE WANT TO PAY OUR WAGE WORKERS JULES AND KNOWING THAT A REFERENDUM DOES IS NOT PASSED THEN WAGES WILL DRASTICALLY HAVE TO BE REDUCED SO IT'S HARD TO PIN YOUR WAGE EXPECTATIONS ON A REFERENDUM THAT SOME OF OUR PUBLIC DON'T THINK WE NEED.

>> WE AS A BOARD ARE VERY FORTUNATE WHERE WE'RE ALL VOTED IN SEPARATELY BY THE CITY OF FISHERS AND NOBLESVILLE TO BE HERE AND WE GET BEEN THE ESSENCE SOMETIMES INFORMATION WE DISCLOSE AS MUCH AS WE CAN PUBLICLY BUT I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE PUBLIC TO SEE SOME OF THE INFORMATION THAT WE KIND OF DISCUSS WHETHER IT WAS AN E-MAIL OR ONE PHONE CALL THEORY AND THERE SO THEY CAN SEE AND HEAR WHY -- THIS WAS A CONSENT AGENDA, JUST AUTOMATICALLY APPROVING AND TO ME MY HEART GOES OUT TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT WORK FOR HFC SCHOOLS BECAUSE IT BROKE MY HEART TO SEE THAT WE DID NOT SEE ENOUGH GOING TO THE LOWER WAGE WORKERING SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS CLEAR THAT THE ADMINISTRATION WORKED VERY HARD BUT WE DID NOT GET THERE THIS TIME AND I WANTED TO MAKE IT

CLEAR. >> THERE WERE I THINK RAISES FOR ALL ADMINISTRATIVE AND NONCERTIFYIED STAFF MUCH LIKE THERE WERE RAISES FOR TEACHERS AND OUR CERTIFIED STAFF A COUPLE MEETINGS WHEN WE APPROVED THOSE. THE RAISE IS FOR IN THESE CATEGORIES THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE FROM SUBS TO INSTRUCTION ACCUTE FLACCID MYELITIS INSTRUCTIONAL ASSISTANTS TO BUS DRIVERS TO FOOD SERVICE RANGE FROM FIVE PERCENT TO 17 PERCENT AND ALTHOUGH THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY GET HOURLY RATES AS HIGH AS WHAT MAYBE WE WOULD LIKE TO OR PUT THOSE IN THE STRATUS FEAR WITH WHAT THEY'RE GETTING WITH FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS -- FOOD SERVICES WENT UNBETWEEN 15 AND 17 PERCENT, THEY WENT UP THE MOST OF ANYBODY.

AND BY FAR OUR NONCERTIFIED STAFF THESE PERCENTAGE WERE BIGGER FOR THEM THAN THEY WERE FOR OTHERS SO AS WE -- NIAS WENT UP BETWEEN 12.32 PERCENT AND 15.1 PERCENT SO WE'RE TRYING TO DO AS MUCH AS WE CAN, ONCE AGAIN WE HAVE FINITE MONEY, WE'RE TRYING TO GIVE THESE NONCERTIFIED STAFF AS LARGE AN INCREASE AS WE CAN AND WE THINK WE WOULD LIKE TO DO, IT'S JUST TRYING THE BALANCE THE BUDGET STATEMENT AS THE CONSTRAINTS THAT WE'RE UP AGAINST, SO IMED TO SHARE THAT BECAUSE THAT'S SOME CONTEXT ON -- THE ADMINISTRATORS DIDN'T GET RAISES -- THEY DIDN'T GET PERCENTAGE RAISES THAT WERE THAT BIG. THEY DID GET RAISES BUT PERCENTAGE WISE THEY WERE A LOT SMALLER SO I THINK WE'RE TRYING TO DO WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING AND WHAT WE CAN GIVEN THE LIMITATIONS WE OPERATE WITHIN AS A PUBLIC ENTITY.

>> AND YOU KNOW WHAT, THAT IS A GREAT COMMENT.

BUT I ALSO LOOK AT THE COSTIVELYING IN FISHERS INCLUDING FOOD AND HOUSING AND HOW IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO LIVE ON LOW WAGES AND EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT PERCENTAGES OUR BASE WAGES WERE 13 PER HOUR. HOWEVER INSTRUCTIONAL ASSISTANTS MANY OF WHOM ARE CRITICAL TO THE SUCCESS OF OUR STUDENTS WOULD EARN A BASE WAGE OF 15 DOLLARS PER HOUR AND AFTER FIVE YEARS EARN $19 PER HOUR SO AS A BOARD MEMBER OF THIS FINANCIALLY SOUND SCHOOL SYSTEM IT CRUSHES ME -- I'M NOT GOING TO SAY EMBARRASSES ME BUT IT CRUSHES ME THAT WE OFFERED THEM SUCH LOW WAGES AT A STAFF LEVEL WAGES IN OUR CITY SO THAT IS WHY I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THE EXEMPT WAS OUT THERE. IT'S NOT ABOUT PERCENTAGES, MAYBE WE ARE STARTED LOWER TOO LONG AGO AND WE NEED TO CATCH UP

[00:35:02]

>> DR. EXTENDED STOKES, YOU MAYW THE ANSWER TO THIS BUT WHEN WE WERE PRESENTED WITH THE INFORMATION WE WERE ALSO TOLD WHAT OTHER DISTRICTS ARE PAYING AND SOME OF THEM WE WERE LOWING AND SOME OF THEM WE WERE A LITTLE HIGHER.

DOES THAT GET US -- WHERE DOES THAT GET US COMPARED TO OTHER

DISTRICTS? >> I'M GOING TO HAVE KATIE SPEAK TO THAT. THE QUESTION IS IT WHEN WE PEREMPTORIED IN OUR EXECUTIVE SESSION, REMEMBER WE SHOWED THE DATA WHEN WE COMPARED OURSELVES TO NEIGHBOR DISTRICTS WE COMPARED THE SALARIES FOR SUPPORT STAFF AND ADMINISTRATORS AND YOU COULD SEE IN THOSE COMPARISONS THAT WE WERE SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER WHEN IT CAME TO ADMINISTRATION, I THINK IT WAS THE STARTING LAIR IN NEIGHBORING SCHOOLS WAS 19,000 HIGHER FOR ADMINISTRATORS THAN FOR OUR ADMINISTRATOR.

WHEN IT CAME TO SUPPORT STAFF THE GAP WASN'T THAT BIG, IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THEY WERE MAKING A $1.50 MORE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THEY'RE ASKING QUESTIONS THOUGHT

ABOUT. >> THE COMPARISON WAS PREDOMINANTLY DODGE BY MS. LIPPY AND MS. MADISON TO COMPARE THE POSITIONS AND THAT'S WHAT DR. STOKES TASKED US WITH IS NOT LOOKING AT A FLAT PERCENTAGE WAIT BUT ADJUSTING WAGE TO BE COMPETITIVE SO THE PERCENTAGES THAT MR. BOYER REFERRED TO WERE REFLECTIVE OFS WANTING TO BE AWARE OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR AS WELL AS THE NEED OF THE POSITION, SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT INSTRUCTIONAL ASSISTANT A 2-DOLLAR AN HOUR RAISE THAT WAS TO BE COMPETITIVE WITH OUR COMPETING DISTRICTS AS WELL AS WITH OTHER OPTION FOLKS WOULD HAVE TO WORK, SO THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE LOOKING AT 12 TO 15 PERCENT INCREASE VERSUS AN ADMINISTRATOR THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN 3.6.

>> SO AND WHILE I DON'T DISAGREE WITH MS. THOMAS WE WOULD LIKE TO GIVE MORE AND IN FACT IN THAT EXECUTIVE SESSION WE HAD A RANGE. BUT WE HAVE TO BE GOOD INSTITUTERS OF STEWARDS OF OUR RESOURCES SO WE ENDED UP WITH THE RANGES THAT WE HAVE, BUT I DON'T DISAGREE THAT I WOULD LOVE TO GIVE MORE BUT I ALSO HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE WITH THE MONEY THAT WE'RE CHARGED WITH SUPPORTING THIS DISTRICT.

>> THANK YOU. >> IT WOULD BE GREAT IF A TEACHER COULD GET A GRANT TO PLANT THE MONEY TREE.

>> TALK TO THE FOUNDATION, MAYBE THEY CAN FUND THAT.

>> OKAY. ANY MORE DISCUSSION? SEEING THERE'S NONE I WILL HAVE JULIE CALL FOR THE VOTE.

OKAY, ON TO PUBLIC COMMENT, AS WE HAVE SET THIS PRECEDENT THIS YEAR PUBLIC COMMENTS WILL BE TAKEN AFTER EACH AGENDA ITEM THEY PERTAIN TO. YOU GET THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK, THERE IS A TIMER. IT WILL -- THE LIGHTS ON THE TOP WILL BE GREEN AND WHEN YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS LEFT THERE WILL BE A YELLOW ONE SO WHEN YOU SEE THE YELLOW PLEASE WRAP UP YOUR THOUGHTS AND RED IS TIME TO STOP.

MAKE SURE THAT YOU -- IF IF SOMEONE BEFORE YOU HAS SAID SOMETHING THAT YOU AGREE WITH FEEL FREE TO JUST ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU AGREE AND FOR THE SAKE OF TIME, ALSO WE DO NOT NAME THE INDIVIDUAL BOARD MEMBERS, SPECIFIC EMPLOYEES OR STUDENTS OF THE SCHOOL CORPORATION, AND JUST MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE KIND AS WE SPEAK TO EACH OTHER IN THE BOARD AND THE PUBLIC.

[5. Information Items]

THIS IS FOR FIRST READING. AND I HAVE MRS. KIM LIPPY HERE

WE HAD AT POLICY THAT WAS UP FOR FIRST READ REGARDING ACCESS TO SURVEYS AND CURRICULUM MATERIALS BUT THAT WAS PULLED FROM THE GENTLED TONIGHT, WE RECEIVED FROM SOME FEEDBACK FROM OUR ATTORNEYS THAT THOSE MAY BE ISSUES THAT ARE REVIEWED BY THE LEGISLATURE THIS THIS COMING SESSION SO WE DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE A LOT OF CHANGES RIGHT NOW KNOWING IF THERE ARE NEW LAWS OR STATUTES PASSED WE MAY HAVE TO COME BACK AND DO IT AGAIN, SEEMS LIKE DOING DOUBLE WORK SO WE PULLED THAT AND WE'RE GOING TO WAIT -- WE MAY HAVE SOME UPDATES ON O FRIDAY. SOME OF US ARE GOING TO THE BREAKFAST TO HAVE AN IDEA WHERE THAT MIGHT GO AND WE'LL REVISIT THAT IN FEBRUARY WHEN WE HAVE OUR FIRST POLICY MEETING OF

2022. >> IS THAT'S CORRECT AND FOR THE RECORD THAT IS I 05.002 AND THAT IS ACCESS TO MATERIALS, ACCESS TO INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS AND SURVEYS AND CONSENT FOR

PARTICIPATION. >> THANK YOU.

AND AS I CALL UP THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, IF THAT WAS THE POLICY THAT YOU'RE WINDING TO SPEAK ABOUT FEEL FREE TO PASS ON THAT TIME OR YOU'RE I BELIEVE STILL WELCOME TO COME UP.

SO FIRST UP I HAVE FOR 5.01 IS DIANE EATON.

>>> GOOD EVENING DR. STOKES CAN BOARD.

I'M HERE TONIGHT TO SPEAK ON THE POLICY ON CRIB LUMP SUM DEVELOPMENTS IMPLEMENTATION AND ASSESSMENT.

FIRST OF ALL I COMMEND YOU THAT YOU'RE ADDING THAT SECTION LINE TWO, THREE AND FOUR AND PARAGRAPH 1 ON O COLLABORATION WITH THE BOARD AND THE COMMUNITY ON CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT.

HOWEVER THAT IS A VAGUE -- THAT WOULD BE HARD TO MEASURE.

MY RECOMMENDATION IS THAT THAT IS MORE STRUCTURED ON HOW THAT COLLABORATION LOOKS LIKE, AND THAT THIS WOULD ALLOW FOR MORE TRANSPARENCY, BUT THAT PARTICULAR WORD IS A VERY VAGUE AND THE COMMUNITY WILL NOT KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU ARE BEING TRANSPARENT ON INVOLVING THEM. SECOND UNDER THE CURRICULUM MINIMUM SECTION, THAT ONE I THINK IS MISSING THE LANGUAGE ON SCOPE AND SEQUENCING OF CURRICULUM WHICH WE HEARD A LOTS

[00:45:02]

THIS TIME FRAME OF PERIODICALLY IS VERY VEGAS AND THERE ARE THAT DOESN'T HOLD THE ADMINISTRATION ACCOUNTABLE TO THE BOARD IN A TIMELY MANNER. SINCE HF SCHOOLS CORE BUSINESS IS EDUCATION A MORE DEFINED TIME FRAME FOR RECEIVING THIS INFORMATION WOULD PROVIDE SOME TRANSPARENCY ON THE SUCCESS OF THE CURRICULUM AND A MORE TIME LIE MANNER.

MY QUESTION SO YOU IS WHY WOULD THE BOARD WANT TO WAIT SO LONG SINCE PERIODIC IS NOT DEFINED TO RECEIVE A REPORT ON THE PROGRESS OF THE SUCCESS OF THE CURRICULUM.

SO I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING ADDING MORE STRUCTURE TO THAT PROCESS, TRANSPARENCY, SCOPE AND SEQUENCING AND DEFINING HOW YOU RECEIVE THAT INFORMATION.

THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU.

>> CAN WE -- >> AT THE END.

>> OKAY. >> IN THE CASE UP I HAVE RAY MADELINE. DO I SAY THAT CORRECTLY?

>> YES. THANK YOU.

I ATTENDED THE 12121 POLICY MEETING AT WHICH CAN CURRICULUM POLICY IRK 01-00 WAS DISCUSSED. I WAS DISMAYED THAT ONE BOARD MEMBER PRESENT, THE STAFF AND THE TEACHERS UNION REPRESENTATIVE WERE ALL AGAINST THE REQUEST OF ANOTHER BOARD MEMBER TO HAVE THE CURRICULUM WORKING GROUP REPORT OUT IN WHAT WE WERE DISCUSSEN O A SET TIME SCHEDULE TO THE BOARD.

FURTHERMORE IT WAS THE CONTENTION OF THAT OPPOSITION THAT THE BOARD SHOULD NOT INVOLVE ITSELF IN THE CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT PROCESS BUT SIMPLY WAIT TO BE TOLD WHAT WAS COMING OUT WHENEVER THAT MIGHT BE. THE BOARD MEMBERED ARE ELECTED THE REPRESENT THE RESIDENTS AND THEIR CHILDREN IN THE HF DISTRICT. CURRICULUM IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUES THAT NEEDS MONITOR TO ENSURE QUALITY INSTRUCTION THIS THE DISTRICT. THE STAFF WORK FOR THE BOARD.

BOARD MEMBERS HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AND PROVIDE COMMENT ON ANY ELEMENT OF STAFF ACTIVITIES RELATED TO CURRICULUM OF IF THERE IS A STATE STATUTE THAT PREVENTS THAT THEN I'LL STAND CORRECTED: SHORT OF O THAT IS IT BOARD SHOULD BE APPRAISED OF WHAT THE CURRICULUM PROVE PROCESS IS THINKING, REVIEWING AND DEVELOPING ON A REGULAR CYCLE.

THAT CYCLE SHOULD BE AT LEAST MONTHLY AS THE BOARD COULD THEN PROVIDE FEEDBACK THAT A PARTICULAR COURSE IS NOT SOMETHING THE BOARD IS WILLING TO APPROVE.

IT WOULD SAVE TIME AND ENERGY OF THE CURRICULUM PARTIES PANTS.

IT WOULD MAKE A GREAT STAFF REPORT TO PRESENT AT THE MONTHLY BOARDS MEETING AND PROVIDE TRANSPARENCY TO THE COMMUNITY ON WHAT THE NEW COURSES THE DISTRICT ARE -- WHAT NEW COURSES THE DISTRICT ARE THINKING ABOUT DEVELOPING.

THE PROPOSED POLICY SHOULD BE AMENDED TO INCORPORATE, DEFINE REGULAR REPORTS TO THE BOARD. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. UP NEXT WE HAVE SHANNON FIELDS.

>> I'M HERE TO SPEAK ON AGENDA 5.01 REGARDING POLYS.

IT LOOKS LIKE IN DEVELOPING A REVISED POLICY AND CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT IMPLEMENTATION AND ASSESSMENT SEVERAL EXISTING POLICIES ARE BEING RESCINDED. WITH SOME BEING INCORPORATED INTO THE NEW POLICY, WHAT IS NOT BEING INCORPORATED IS A CURRICULUM GOAL POLICY I .02.00 WHICH CURRENTLY STATES THE PRIMARY GOAL OF THE CURRICULUM IS TO PRODUCE A GRADUATE WHO IS LITERATE, TO COHERENT AND ARTICULATE.

IS . . .

GOALS THAT ARE RELATIVE THANK YOU, YOUR HONOR

[00:51:09]

>>> THANK YOU. NEXT UP WE HAVE KIRK GREEN.

>> HI. GOOD EVENING.

YOU KNOW, SPEAKING OF CURRICULUM , THAT'S GOING TO BE THE NUMBER ONE THING THAT THE VOTERS LOOK FOR AND THAT'S COMING ELECTION. IT'S WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE THOUGHT THEY WERE VOTING FOR REPPING IN THE PAST.

THE FIRST BULLET POINT IT SAYS MEETING WITH STATE GUIDELINES COMPLY WITH MIGHT BE LAW REGARDING THE PUBLIC LUMP SUM. AND JUST TO REMIND THAT WITH STATE LAW, WE'RE TO TREAT EACH STUDENT EQUALLY, GRADE THEM EQUALLY AND NOT BE -- NOT TO GIVE FAVORITISM BASED ON RACE OR ETHNICITY. THERE HAVE BEEN TEACHERS, PARENT ASKS STUDENTS OVER THIS PAST YEAR THAT'S CONVEYED TO MANY OF US REGARDING A CONCERN OF OVERLAP OF DIFFERENT SUBJECTS BEING TAUGHT FROM ONE SCHOOL TO THE NEXT OR ONE GRADE TO THE NEXT, A LOT OF REDUNDANCY IN WHICH SOME POSSIBLIES COMES UP TO TWO YEARS OF MATERIAL THAT THEY COVERED TWO YEARS PRIOR, THAT THEY'RE RETAKING SO WE THINK THERE'S PROBABLY A LACK OF SOME COHESIVENESS AND A LITTLE BIT OF DISCONNECT BETWEEN SOME OF WHAT'S TAKEN PLACE AND THAT'S WHERE HE THINK THAT IT'S IMPORTANT FOR YOU ALL TO BE VERY INVOLVED WITH THE OVERSIGHT.

YOU KNOW, I GOOGLED SOME OF THE MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES OF A BOARD MEMBER, GUESS WHAT? IF YOU BRING THAT UP THE NUMBER ONE THING IS THE CURRICULUM OVERVIEW AND IMPLEMENTATION.

I'VE HAD ONE CONVERSATION WITH YOU AND HAVE YOU SAID NO WE'RE JUST PROCEDURES. THAT'S WRONG, THAT'S -- I'M SORRY, YOU CAN SHAKE YOUR HEAD BUT THE FACT OF IT IS IS THAT IS WHAT COMES UP IN MOST POSSIBLIES AS FAR AS WHAT RESPONSIBILITIES DO YOU HAVE TO THE PUBLIC AND TO OUR STUDENTS.

THE FACT THAT A BOARD PRESIDENT STATED THAT IT WAS A WASTE OF TIME FOR THE BOARD TO BE INVOLVED WITH OVERSIGHT AND A WASTE OF MONEY IN WHAT STUDIES THAT ARE TAKING PLACE --

>> ARE YOU SAYING THAT I SAID THAT?

>> IN THE WORK SESSION, YES. >> NO, I DID NOT SAY THAT.

>> OKAY. >> YOU MAY PROCEED.

>> I SAID PRESIDENT, I DIDN'T SAY A PERSON'S NAME.

WHEN IT COMES TO VOICES BEING HEARD, WHETHER IN THE CLASSROOM OR BY STUDENTS OR TEACHERS, WE THINK THAT AS HAS BEEN CONVEYED THAT WE'RE TO GIVE ALL STUDENTS SAME REPRESENTATION, WE SHOULD GIVE ALL TEACHERS REPRESENTATION, NOT JUST UNION MEMBERS THAT PAY TO BE HEARD. THANK YOU.

MERRY CHRISTMAS. >>> OKAY O.

PUBLIC COMMENT PORTION IS COMPLETED FOR THIS AGENDA ITEM.

SO I WILL OPEN UP TO BOARD QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS.

>> CAN SOME -- ILL SAY CAN SOMEBODY ELABORATE ON THE ROLE OF POLICY VERSUS PROCEDURES AND HOW THOSE FUNCTION?

[00:55:02]

I HAVE -- I WANT TO SEE MORE DETAIL IN A LOT OF THE POLICIES BUT AS WE'VE UNPACKED THAT A LITTLE MORE THOSE POLICIES ARE DESIGNED TO BE -- ARE INTENTIONALLY TO BE MORE VAGUE RECEIVE THAT THE PROCEDURES THAT SUPPORT THOSE POLICYINGS CAN BE MORE DEFINITIVE AND GIVE GUIDANCE, WHAT I THINK THE POLICY IS DESIGNED TO CREATE THE STRUCTURE AND THEN THE STAFF AND ADMINISTRATION COMES UP WITH PROCEDURES THAT PUTS THE MEAT ON THOSE BONES SO TO SPEAK. AND SO AS MUCH AS I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE DETAIL AND THINK ABOUT THAT I ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT POLICY -- THERE'S A DEFINITION FOR POLICY AND A DEFINITION FOR PROCEDURES AND I DON'T KNOW IF EVERYBODY POLICY HAS A PROCEDURE, IF THE PROCEDURES ARE TIDE TO THE POLICY AND HOW THOSE ARE LOCATED AND CATALOGED AND REFERENCES FOR FOLKS TO FIND BUT IN LAUGH A LOT OF CASES WHAT IDENTIFY HEARD DISCUSSED IS WHAT THE PROCEDURES ARE DESIGNED TO DO.

SO I THINK THE POLICIES ARE PROBABLY -- OKAY, SO THE SPIRIT OF WITH A WE'RE GOING TO DO AND HOW IT GETS DONE IS ALL IN THE PROCEDURE, SO WHAT THE FOLKS HAVE TALKED ABOUT PROCEDURES AND

HOW ARE THOSE DEVELOPED AND -- >> I CAN TALK ABOUT THE COMMENTS THAT WERE MADE AND PARTICULARLY THE CONVERSATION WE HAD AT THE POLICY COMMITTEE, SO AN EXAMPLE IS THIS WORD PERIODICALLY SO WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CURRICULUM WE'RE SAYING THE ADMINISTRATION NEED TOSS PROCEDURAL REPORT TO US IF YOU SHOW UP TO OUR MEETINGS YOU KNOW THAT HAPPENS QUITE OFTEN, WE JUST HAD A WORK SESSION WHERE WE HAD DISCUSSION ABOUT HOURS AND CRIB LUMP CURRICULUM BUT NOBODYS THERE.

BUT WE'RE DOING THAT WORK O, I THINK IT'S ON FOR US TO VOTE ON TONIGHT SO WE'RE CREATING NEW COURSES AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL SO THAT WAS BROUGHT TO US FOR INFORMATION AND THEY PROVIDED NOR INFORMATION AND TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO VOTE AS A BOARD WHETHER OR NOT TO APPROVE THOSE COURSES SO THOSE THINGS ARE HAPPENING. BUT IF WE WERE TO SAY YOU HAVE TO COME TO US EVERY QUARTER WITH AN UPDATE DOES THAT MEAN THEY DON'T HAVE TO COME TO US MORE OFTEN IF SOMETHING COMES UP? OR ARE THEY JUST GOING TO COME TO US QUARTERLY.

I THINK MONTHLY WOULD BE EXCESSIVE.

BUT AGAIN IT'S THAT SKELETON OF PERIODICALLY AND THEN IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY AS BOARD MEMBERS TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE SO IF WE'RE IN DISCUSSION AND SAY WE E HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THEM IN A WHILE, LET'S HAVE A AN UPDATE BUT TO EXAMINE THE BOARD TOE SIT IN A ROOM WITH PROFESSIONAL EDUCATORS AND DICTATE WHAT THE CURRICULUM IS WOULD BE A DISS SERVICE TO OUR STUDENTS.

I HAVE NO BACKGROUND THIS EDUCATION OR HOW TO SELECT SO WE DO AT SOME POINT HAVE TO TRUST THEIR PROFESSIONAL OPINIONS AND BASED ON THEIR EXPERIENCE BUT IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY AS OVERSIGHT TO ASK THOSE QUESTIONS AND MAKE SURE THEY'RE DOING THAT. THAT'S JUST AN EXAMPLE THAT THE PROCEDURE MAY BE LET'S SIT DOWN WITH THE BOARD PRESIDENT AND FIGURE OUT HOW OFTEN DO WE WANT TO DO THIS AND THAT'S PART OF OUR OVERSIGHT RULE TO MAKE SURE WE'RE HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE.

>> AND DOESN'T THAT MEAN ALSO TOO AND DR. STOKES A WELL THAT IF A BOARD MESH HAS A CONCERN OR A COMPLEMENT OR A PRAISE ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS REACH OUT TO THE PRESIDENT AND DR. STOKES AND SAY CAN WE DELVE INTO THIS A LITTLE MORE TO GET MORE INFORMATION.

>> ABSOLUTELY AND THAT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.

WE'RE JUST SEEING THOSE QUESTIONS ABOUT RESTORATIVE THE PRACTICES. I KNOW THERE'S SOME CONFUSION IS IT SO WE'RE HEARING THESE QUESTIONS SO WHAT ARE WE DOING, WE'RE SCHEDULING WORK SESSION OZOTHE PUBLIC CAN HAVE MORE UNDERSTANDING ABOUT THOSE THISES AND IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.

THAT WE E-MAIL OR CALL DR. STOKES --

>> AND ANYTHING THAT COMES UP THAT AS A BOARD IT'S NOT GOING TO BE SUPPORTED BY EVERYONE BUT IT'S NOT -- BUT THERE WOULD BE A MAJORITY AND WHATEVER THE MAJORITY IS HOW THINGS GET MOVED

FORWARD, CORRECT? >> WHEN WE VOTE ON THEM BUT EVEN IF IT'S JUST YOU OR ME OR SOMEBODY SAYING THIS TOPIC HAS COME UP AND THIS CURRICULUM ISSUE OR CAN WE HAVE A MEETING

[01:00:04]

IT MAY NOT BE THE NEXT DAY. >> BUT YOU BROUGHT IT RIGHT NOW ABOUT THE RESTORATIVE PRACTICE AND WHAT I'M SAYING IS IT'S

COMPLIMENTED AND I. >> I THINK WE'RE GETTING MORE THAN ONE BOARD MEMBER INTERESTED.

>> BRINGING IT UP AND ONE MORE OR MORE BOARD MEMBERS IS TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING THAT WE SCHEDULE SOMETHING LIKE THIS DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT'S GOING TO MOVE FORWARD BUT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT GOING TO CONTINUE TO MOVED FORWARD BUT BUT WHAT WE'RE DOING IS BRINGING INSTRUCTION FOR THE BOARD TO HEAR IT BUT THERE'S ALSO GOING TO BE A WORK SESSION WHERE THE BASICALLY NEEDS TO COME AND

LISTEN TO IT AS WELL. >> RIGHT BUT I THINK THE POINT IS WITH THESE GENERAL TERMS OUR POLICY IS ARE NOT NORMALLY GOING TO SAY ON THE THIRD TUESDAY OF EVERY MONTH WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THIS MEETING AND TALK ABOUT THIS THING BECAUSE THAT'S PROCEDURE, THAT'S THE DAY-TO-DAY RUNNING OF THE DISTRICTED.

>> I THINK TO ADD TO THAT AND THE COMMENTS THAT YOU MAID CLEARLY ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ROLES THE BOARD HAS IS TO DEVELOP POLICY FOR THE DISTRICT SO THOSE ARE JUST OUR OVERARCHING GUARDRAILS TO KEEP THE DISTRICT COMPLIANT, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE LEGAL SO WITH INDIANA CODE; U.S. CODE AND FROM THERE YOU MENTIONED PROCEDURE SO FROM THERE WE DO DEVELOP ADMINISTRATORS DEVELOP PROCEDURES USING THE GUARDRAILS OF POLICY SO AS WE HAVE CONVERSATIONS AND OUR POLICY COMMITTEE AND TALK ABOUT PROCEDURES, THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. SO THE POLICIES REALLY GUIDE US TO DEVELOP THOSE ARE OUR GUARDRAILS FOR THE ADMINISTRATORS TO THEN DEVELOP THE APPROPRIATE PROCEDURE.

ANYTIME A PROCEDURE DOES CHANGE AND YOU MENTIONED WHERE CAN THIS BE FOUND, SO AS YOU'RE ON BOARD DOCS THERE IS A TAB WHERE YOU CAN CHOOSE POLICY, THERE'S ALSO A TAB WHERE YOU CAN CHOOSE PROCEDURE. SO NOT EVERY POLICY HAS A PROCEDURE LINKED TO IT, IF THERE IS A PROCEDURE IT'S FOUND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POLICY WITH A LINK TO A PROCEDURE OR A FORM SO THAT JUST GIVES A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THAT.

>>> CAN I SAY IT IS 100 PERCENT WRONG THAT THE BOARD DOES PROCEDURE. WE DO POLICY, NOT PROCEDURE BUT I DIDN'T SAY IT, I DIDN'T KNOW IF ANY OTHER BOARD MEMBER SAID IT. IT COULD HAVE GOTTEN MIXED UP SO TO MAKE THAT STATEMENT IS NOT TRUE.

ANOTHER THING MRS. FIELDS BROUGHT UP ABOUT I .02 NOT BEING IN THERE, WE TALKED ABOUT SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THAT, THE FOUR OF US WHO HAVE BEEN ON LONGER WITH PORTRAIT OF A GRADUATE; IT WAS KIND OF DR. BOURFF'S BABY AND I DON'T KNOW IF DR. STOKES YOU'RE AWARE OF THAT.

BUT I MEAN IF THE BASICALLY SO WANT IT WE MAY WANT TO LOOK AT

THAT. >> NO, I THINK EDMOND IS STILL WORKING ON IT: I THINK THE PANDEMIC WAYLAID SOME OF THAT PROGRESS, BUT YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RECORD HIGH AND AGAIN, THIS IS AT THING THAT I THINK THE POLICY COMMITTEE HAS BEEN TASKED WITH IS TO LOOK AT THINGS -- A PORTRAIT OF GRADUATE ISN'T A POLICIERS E-, THAT'S A GOAL SO I THINK THEY'RE TRYING TO CLEAN UP BECAUSE WE HAVE TOO MANY POLICIES JUST OUT THERE THAT TONIGHT NEED TO BE POLICIES AND SO NOT THAT SAYING THAT WHAT A PORTRAIT OF A GRADUATE LOOKS LIKE ISN'T IMPORTANT, BUT IT'S NOT POLICY. IT'S SAYING IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE A POLICY, IT JUST NEEDS TO BE A GOAL AND A MISSION FOR OUR

DISTRICT. >> AND MADAM PRESIDENT WE STILL HAVE -- THIS THIS IS A FIRST RAD READ SO THIS IS THE TIME AND OPPORTUNITY FOR BOARD MEMBERS TO COMMUNICATE IF PARTS OF THIS WE WANT TO ADD WE COULD POSSIBLY PUT A GOAL OF SOME SORT IN THERE AND ADD WITHOUT DOING THIS POLICY WE COULD FITTED INTO MAYBE ONE OF THE OTHER POLICIES. CAN THAT NOT BE DONE?

>> THE GOAL -- I MEAN WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A GOAL THOSE REALLY RELATE BACK TO OUR BOARD GOALS FOR THE DISTRICT SETTING THOSE GOALS WE TALK ABOUT TO GIVE THEM DRINKS.

>> HAVE THOSE BEEN POST INSIDE DO WE HAVE THEM POSTED?

>> THEY WILL BEFUL WE WANTED YOU TO SEE THEM FIRST (SPEAKING

SIMULTANEOUSLY.) >> I THINK THESE IDEAS KIND OF GET MIXED UP WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT POLICY, IT'S IMPORTANT TO

[01:05:03]

>> AND BOARD MEMBER DONSBACK JUST LET ME KNOW TOO WE HAVE IT ON THE AGENDA FOR NEXT YEAR SO THAT THE IT'S GOING TO COME UP WERE THE GOALS FOR WHAT THE DISTRICT IS DOING, SO THAT WILL

ENCOMPASS SOME OF THIS -- >> BRAD SAID WE NEED TO REVISIT

THEM ANYWAY. >> BUT WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT MIGHT HELP THE PUBLIC, OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE NOT NOT HAVING GOALS. WE HAVE THE GOALS IT JUST NEEDS

TO COME OUT NOW. >> I THINK THAT ALL OF THIS IS -- IT'S A LEARNING CURVE FOR -- I MEAN, THERE'S -- I MEAN, I'M -- SO MUCH TO LEARN AND THINGS FUNCTION DIFFERENTLY HERE THAN WHAT I WANT THEM TO FUNCTION, IN SE MY BUSINESS BUT WE HAVE POLICY AND WE HAVE PROCEDURE CAN THEN THERE ARE GOALS THAT WE SET AND ALL THOSE FALL IN DIFFERENT LAYERS AND THEY ALL COME TOGETHER FOR A MASTER PLAN AND SOMETIMES THINGS GET IN THE WAY OF DOING THAT, OR GET US SIDETRACKED SO I DID MAKE THE EXCELLENT THAT I DO THINK WE CREATED SOME GOALS THAT WE LOOKED AT BACK IN JUNE AND WE'RE STILL STRUGGLING TO GET THOSE FINALIZED AND YOU KNOW, THINK ABOUT SOME OF THOSE AND HOW DO THOSE PLAY OUT AND GET SOME UPDATES ON THOSE AND WE'RE APPROACHING THE MIDWAY POINT OF THE YEAR, BUT I THINK ALL THOSE THINGS ARE GOOD AND I DO THINK THAT UNDERSTANDING THE POLICY AND UNDERSTANDING THE PROCEDURES AND UNDERSTANDING GOALS ARE CRITICAL THIS HAVING THOSE DELINEATED IN THE RIGHT FORM AND FASHION. I'VE TALKED TO ENOUGH TEACHERS, MS. TAYLOR AND I WERE TALKING THE OTHER DAY AND AT THE END OF THE DAY TEACHERS GENERALLY ARE RULE FOLLOWERS, THEY WANT THAT PROCEDURABLE THEY WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY NEED TO DO SO IT'S IMPORTANT WE SET THIS POLICY AND CREATE THE PROCEDURE AND IT'S SOUND AND IT WORKS BECAUSE IT'S WHAT THEY WILL DO, AND IF WE DON'T DO A GOOD JOB, IT'S HARD FOR THEM TO DO A GOOD JOB.

>> I WANTED TO MAKE ONE COMMENT ABOUT STANDARDS.

I BELIEVE IT WAS MR. GREEN MADE A COMMENT ABOUT THE STANDARDS BEING REDUNDANT AND HE'S RIGHT FOR SOME OF THE STANDARDS IT'S INTENTION THATAL. LANGUAGE ART STANDARDS DON'T CHANGE THAT MUCH. THEY ARE INTENTIONALLY REDUNDANT BECAUSE YOU CAN'T PRESENT SOMETHING THE A CHILD ONE TIME AND EXPECT THEM TO RETAIN THAT SO THERE ARE STANDARDS THAT OVER TIME TEND TO LOOK REDUNDANT SO I WANTED TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT

THAT. >> AND KEEPING IN MIND THAT WE CAN'T SET OUR OWN CURRICULUM. THERE ARE STATE STANDARDS THAT WE MUST FOLLOW AND THE LEGISLATURE MAY COME UP WITH SOME THIS TIME THAT SAYS YOU CAN OR CAN'T DO THIS AND WE WOULD BE AT THEIR MERCY. AND THEN ONE MORE THING, DR. STOKES WE GAVE YOU OUR BLESSING FOR THE BOARD GOAL ASKS YOU WENT TO THE PRINCIPALS AND LET THEM KNOW --

>> SO WE SHARED THAT WE WANTED TO WAIT UNTIL AFTER THE OCTOBER O DATE WITH THE SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PLANS BECAUSE EACH BUILDING SETS GOALS FOR THE CLIMATE OF THEIR BUILDING, EVERY BUILDING HAS A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT CULTURE AND A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT CLIMATE BASED ON THE STUDENTS THAT ARE IN THEIR BUILDING IS THEY SET STRATEGIC GOALS AND FROM THOSE GOALS WE GOT TOGETHER AND -- WESTERN GOING TO GO ONE DIRECTION AND FOUND A BETTER DIRECTION. SO FROM OUR UNDERSTANDING THE GOALS ARE ACCEPTABLE, WE GAVE YOU TIME TO LOOK AT THEM AND TO DATE NO ONE HAS DISAGREED DISAGH ANY BUT WE'RE NOT OPPOSE TO LOOKING AT THEM AND MAYBE IF YOU WANT TO WORD SMITH OR CHANGE SOMETHING OR QUARTERLY TO TWICE A YEAR OR WHATEVER WE CAN DO

THAT. >> AND MS. FULLHART YOU CAN CORRECT ME AND DR. STOKES BUT I -- YOU AID THE SCHOOL DOESN'T

CREATE CURRICULUM BUT WE DO -- >> WE CAN.

>> SCHOOLS CAN CREATE CURRICULUM.

WE AT HAMILTON SOUTHEASTERN SCHOOLS ARE FOLLOWING THE STATE

STANDARD. >> AND I GUESS IT DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU THINK OF AS CURRICULUM. WEB DEVELOP HOW WE'RE GOING TO

[01:10:02]

>> AND DR. EXTENDED FORECAST WE HAVE THAT TEACHING AND LEARNING THAT YOU WORKED VERY DILIGENTLY ON TO UPDATE THAT IN AND I HAVE TO SAY I COMMEND VERY MUCH HOW HARD THE DISTRICT -- WHAT WE HAVE DONE TO PUT ALL THAT INFORMATION OUT THERE AND BREAK IT DOWN, CAN'T WAIT TO SEE NINE TO 12 GET UP THERE QUICKER BUT I

MEND THEM FOR WORKING SO HARD. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT.

DID WE GET THE PHONE NINE TO 12U HAVE?

>> WE'RE STILL MOST MODIFYING TT BUT IT SHOULD BE UP AT THE END

OF THE YEAR. >> I'M THANKFUL TO DR. KEGLY I ASKED AND HE SETTLEMENT IT OVER SO THERE IS A NINE TO 12 COURSE GUIDE THAT FULL IF YOU WANT A P- (SPEAKING SIMULTANEOUSLY.)

>> WE CAN SEE THINGS A LITTLE EASIER TO MANIPULATE THROUGH.

>> RIGHT. WE LISTENED TO OUR COMMUNITY.

THEY WANTED A KIM ONE STOP SHOPD WE FELT LINING THAT WAS DOABLE SO AS I WAS TRANSITIONING THIS SUMMER BEFORE I OFFICIALLY STARTED WIGAN HAVING CONVERSATIONS ABOUT RIGHT SIZING THE WEBSITE TO INCLUDE SOME CLICK CURRICULUM INFORMATION SO MS. BRITAIN WATT WAS HIRED A LITTLE LATER BUT WE WANTED IT ON THE WEBSITE IN A ONE STOP SHOP. .

>>> OKAY. ANY MORE DISCUSSION FROM THE BOARD? OKAY, I SO THERE ARE NONE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH MS. LIPPY AND I WILL INVITE DR. KEGLY FOR THE NEXT PORTION WHICH IS 5.02, IN PERSON INSTRUCTION PLAN.

WELCOME. >> GOOD EVENING.

AT THE JUNE 23 BOARD MEETING THE RETURN TO INSTRUCTION PLAN WAS SUBMITTED FOR BOARD APPROVAL. THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION REQUIRES THAT A RETURN TO INSTRUCTION PLAN BE REVIEWED AND REVISED AS NEEDED AS AT LEAST EVERY SIX MONTHS AND THAT MUST INCLUDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR IF PUBLIC COMMENT AND SHOULD BE POSTED ON THE DISTRICT WEBSITE. OUR FIRST SIX MONTH DEADLINE IS DECEMBER 24 AND SINCE THIS IS OUR ONLY REGULARLY SCHEDULED BOARD MEETING FOR DECEMBER THIS IS WHY WE'RE TAKE THING UP THIS EVENING. THERE HAVE BEEN UPDATED PLEAED TO THE RETURN INSTRUCTION PLAN. WHILE REVISIONS HAVE BEEN MADE ASK THE DOCUMENT CONTINUES TO BE ON THE WEBSITE AND NO FORMAL ACTION IS NEEDED BY THE BOARD THIS EVENING TODAY'S REVIEW PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS THAT THE BOARD MIGHT HAVE AND SECH PUBLIC COMMENT.

ONE NEW CHANGE THAT WE WILL BE ADDING SOON IS THAT WE'VE RECENTLY FINALIZED WALKING-IN VACCINATION CLINIC THAT BE OCCUR THAT THE FISHERS HIGH SCHOOL ON DECEMBER 17, DONE THAT WITH THE LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND THAT WILL BE FROM THREE THINKER TO 730 CONDITIONING AT FISHERS HIGH SCHOOL.

SO I WILL ENTERTAIN A QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD AND TALK ABOUT

PUBLIC COMMENT AS THERE IS ANY. >>> LET ME ASK FOR PUBLIC

COMMENT FIRST. >> CAN I CLARIFY ONE THING? CAN YOU DELL THAT DATE AGAIN AND FISHERS HIGH SCHOOL VACCINATION

CLINIC. >> DECEMBER 17.

>> AND YOU CLARIFY WHO CAN GET VACCINATED.

IS PARENTAL CONSENT NEEDED? >> ANYBODY FIVE AND UP, IF YOU'RE UNDER 18 YOU MUSH ACCOMPANIED BY AN ADULT.

>>> TEACHERS, THE FACULTY, BOOSTERS, FIRST TIME VACCINES.

>> KIND OF LIKE THE POP-UP SHOP THEY HAVE AT THE -- THE CITY

MARKET. >> AND TO CLARIFY THIS IS FOR ANY VACCINATION THAT YOU WOULD -- IT'S FOR YOUR MUMP MUMR

CHICKENPOX. >> NO IT'S JUST FOR COVID.

>> BUT A STUDENT CAN'T JUST ABOUT IN THE DOOR AND GET A VACCINE, THEY MUST HAVE FULL INFORMATION THAT THIS IS THIS IS A COURTESY WE'RE DOING FOR THOSE THAT MIGHT WANT TO GET THE

[01:15:03]

>> IF THEY'RE UNDER 18. >> THANK YOU.

>>> THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION.

OKAY O, I HAVE TWO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK. I HAVE LAURA SMITH.

WELCOME. >> THANKS.

GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU FOR UPDATING THE BOARD AND THE PUBLIC ON THE IN PERSON INSTRUCTION PLAN.

I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF MEYER AND OVER OTHERS. I ASK THE ADMINISTRATION CONSIDER THE CURRENT PLAN AND FUTURE MODIFICATIONS PARTICULARLY WITH REGARDS TO LEARN PLANNING AND THE IDENTIFICATION AND SEGREGATION OF STUDENTS . . .

DAN STOCK. >>> LOCAL FAMILY DOCTOR ON BEHALF OF SEVERAL PATIENTS. I EARN E-ENCOURAGE -- . . .

[01:21:07]

I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS MEMBERS OF THE BOARD HAVE. THANK YOU.

>>> THANK YOU. >> CAN I ASK HIM A QUICK

QUESTION? >> JUST A SIMPLE QUICK QUESTION.

I WANT TO ASK ABOUT THE IMMUNITY PART.

SO DO YOU FEEL FROM YOUR EXPERIENCE IN PATIENTS AND THAT YOU SEE, DO YOU FEEL THAT OTHER ILLNESSES THEN HAVE ALSO DROPPED? OR INCREASED AT ALL RIGHT NOW?

>> WE DON'T HAVE EVIDENCE OF ANY OTHER OVARIAL RESPIRATORY SYNDROME THAT'S BEEN REDUCED BY THIS AND IT'S BECAUSE IT'S SPREADED THROUGH AEROSOL TRANS MISSION AND THEY ARE ALL SUB MICRON THIS SIZE AND THEY ARE NOT FILTERED BY ANY KNOWN MASK, AND THEY CANNOT BE FILLERRED OUT THESE VIRAL AVOIDANCE MEASURES HAVE NO EFFECT AND THIS HAS BEEN NOUN SINCE ACTUATE.

IT'S SIMPLY BECAUSE HOW THEY'RE TRANSMITTED.

MASK CAN STOP THE LARGE PARTICLES THAT ARE IN THE MICRON AND LARGER BUT SUB MICRON PARTICLES JUST FROM THE WORKBOOK WORK OVERBRIGHTING AND THAT ACCOUNTS FOR OVER ONION NINE PERCENT OF THE VIRUS THAT COMES OUT OF AN INFECTED PERSON AND THAT'S TRUE FOR EVERY VIRAL RESPIRATORY DISEASE WE'VE STUDIED. THEY SIMPLY WITH NOT BE FILTERED

>>> QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS BY THE BOARD? DO WE HAVE ANY INFORMATION THAT YOU COULD SHARE WITH THE PUBLIC OF WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER WINTER BREAK? OR WHAT WE'RE POSSIBLY LOOKING TO DO WHEN WE RETURN TO SCHOOL

IS THIS. >> SORRY, I DON'T WANT TO -- YOU

SAID DISCUSSION, RIGHT IS THIS. >> YEAH.

>> I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE IN PERSON INSTRUCTION.

>> BUT BEFORE YOU RESPOND I WOULD JUST LIKE TO CAUTION -- IT WOULD BE AGAINST MY --ON I COULD GO AGAINST THE CDC AND ALL THE -- SO I THINK THAT JUST NEEDS TO BE SAID SO --

>> BUT THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING. DO WE HAVE ANY COMMENTARY OR --

>> SO LET ME SHARE THIS -- (SPEAKING SIMULTANEOUSLY.)

>> SO DURING MY COMMENTS JEFF IS GOING TO SHARE SOME INFORMATION BUT I WILL SAY THIS, THAT AS MUCH AS I RESPECT WHAT THE DR. REEVES COUNTER-SALARIED I DON'T

[01:25:06]

41,000 -- 21,500 STUDENTS TO KEEP THEM IN SCHOOL.

WE'RE NOT MAKING A DECISION FOR ONE CHILD OR TWO CHILDREN OR THREE A A FAMILY MIGHT BE, WE'RE MAKING A DECISION FOR A LOT OF CHILDREN BUT ONE THING WE CAN'T DO IS WE JUST ARE NOT IN A POSITION TO ASK OUR ADMINISTRATORS TO VIOLATE AND NOT CONTACT TRACE. WE DON'T WANT TO BE IS THAT TEST DISTRICT WHERE PEOPLE GET ARRESTED OR HAVE A CHARGE, WE'RE SIMPLY NOT GOING TO DO THAT. BUT TO ANSWER MS. THOMAS' QUESTIONS WE HAVE SHARED THAT IT IS OUR INTENTION TO TRY TO LOOK AFTER BABY AT THE POSSIBILITY OF GOING MASK OPTIONAL.

WITH THAT THAT COMES SOME QUALIFICATIONS OF WHAT WOULD NEED TO BE IN PLACE TO BE MASK OPTIONAL AND WHAT WOULD NEED TO BE IN PLACE TO DECIDE IF A PARTICULAR BUILDING WOULD HAVE INTERROGATORY NO. TO GO BACK TO MASK REQUIRED AND ONE WOULD BE THE POSITIVITY RATE AND THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS OUT ON QUARANTINE, ONE OR THE OTHER COULD SEND A BUILDING BACK TO MASK BEING REQUIRED. SO WE HAVEN'T FORGOT THAT WE WANT THE TRY THIS BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE ON DAY ONE IN JANUARY AND HERE'S WHY. UP SEE IS THAT TYPICALLY AROUND THE HOLIDAY SEASON WE TEND TO HAVE AN UPTICK IN POSITIVITY AND I DON'T WANT YOU TO LOSE SITE THAT YES WE SAID IN JANUARY WE WANT TO GO MASK OPTIONAL BUT WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE METRICS, WE WILL SHARE THAT WITH YOU BEFORE JANUARY 1 IN A FRIDAY UPDATE. SO WE WILL SHARE THAT AND I WILL HAVE MORE FOR YOU DURING MY TIME.

BUT MATT IF YOU WANT TO GO AND SHARE WHAT YOU WANT TO SHARE.

>> I'M WITH ALL THAT. COVERED IT ALL.

THE PURPOSE OF O TONIGHT IS JUST A FORMAL REVIEW OF THE PLAN, LIKE I SAID BEFORE WE'VE MADE CHANGES ALONG THE WAY BUT WE'RE REQUIRED BY THE GOT TO DO ITS EVERY SIX MONTHS AND THAT CLOCK STARTED IN JUST JUNE IS IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.

>>> THANK YOU DR. KEGLY. >>> CAN WE REMIND PEOPLE THAT WE AREN'T MAKING THE DECISIONS ON MASKS?

>> THANKS A LOT MICHELLE. >> THE COMMENT THAT I HAVE IS THAT IT'S REALLY TOUGH -- I AM A NO MASK PERSON, THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE THAT I WEAR A MASK OTHER THAN THE AIRPORT AND AIRPLANE WHERE I WAS IN THE LAST FIVE. BUT I REALLY WANT KIDS TO BE IN SCHOOL TOO AND IF -- WHEN I LOOK THE DATA THE DISTRICTS THAT IS SHARED WHEN WE DON'T HAVE MASKS ON THE NUMBER OF KID THAT IS MISS SCHOOL IS HIGHER, AND IF THERE'S A WAY TO KEEP THAT FROM HAPPENING, KEEP THE KIDS IN SCHOOL AND NO MASKS, I'M IN FAVOR OF THAT. I DON'T KNOW THAT -- AND WHEN I SAY THAT I DON'T KNOW IF I'M THE ONLY ONE, I THINK WE ALL WANT THE KEEP KIDS IN SCHOOL BUT WHEN WE DON'T HAVE MASKS ON THE NUMBER OF KID THAT MISS SCHOOL GOES UP SO HOW DO YOU BALANCE THAT AND THERE'S NO EASY ANSWER, WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMMODATE A LOT OF FOLKS, IT'S EASY FOR ME TO MAKE THE DECISION FOR MYSELF BUT IT'S HARD TO MAY RECOLLECT THAT DECISION FOR MYSELF AND FOR OTHERS THAT HAVE LOOKING AT IT DIFFERENTLY SO IT'S A STUFF SPOT AND I THOUGH EVERYONE HAS A PERSONAL PREFERENCE FOR WHICH

[01:30:03]

KIDS IN SCHOOL. >> I ALSO AGREE WITH KEEPING KIDS IN SCHOOL, THE MOST IMPORTANT BUTTS IN SEATS.

I DON'T WEAR A MASK ANY OTHER TIME BUT IF THINGS NEED TO BE CHAINED IT'S NOT JUST AT OUR LEVEL, IT'S AT THE STATE AND FEDERAL LEVELS THAT YOU HAVE TO GET THINGS CHANGED.

>> I'M SORRY, YES. THERE'S MULTIPLE SOURCES OF INFORMERS THAT WE HAVE TO LOOK AT INCLUDING WHAT'S GOING O ON IN OUR DISTRICT AND I ALWAYS REMIND PEOPLE WE'RE LOOKING IT FOR HAMILTON SOUTHEASTERN STUDENTS.

YOU KNOW, NOT PORTAGE OR CROWN POINT OR WHEREVER AND QUACK I'M JUST GOING TO SAY THIS WE ARE A LARGE SCHOOL SCHOOL DISTRICT, WE'RE THE FOURTH LARGEST SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THE STATE AND THE REALITY IS WITH THAT COMES DIFFERENT TYPES OF CHALLENGE SO WE HAVE TO LOOK OUT FOR WHAT'S BEST FOR OUR STUDENTS.

>> THANK YOU. OKAY.

MOVING ON. 5.03 IS THE GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE FOR THE FALL CREEK JUNIOR HIGH RENOVATION.

AND I HAVE -- HI MR. HARRY. >> GOOD EVENING.

I HAVE BLAKE HOLE CAMP WITH ME. >> HI MR. HOLE CAMP, NICE TO SEE

YOU. >> GOOD EVENING, LADIES AND

GENTLEMEN. >> I WANTED TO BRIEFLY GO OVER THIS WHOLE PROCESS QUICKLY ABOUT WHY WE'RE ASKING FOR HOPEFULLY YOUR APPROVAL TONIGHT, IF NOT WE CAN WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT BOARD MEETING, BUT WE ENTERED INTO A CONTRACT WITH HAGGER MAN CALLED A CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AS A CONSTRUCTOR AND ONE OF THE POTENTIALS IS AFTER WE BID THE PROJECT OUT O THEY GUARANTEE A PRICE FOR DOING THE CONSTRUCTION.

WE ON DECEMBER 2 RECEIVED BIDS FOR THIS PROJECT AND GIST QUICKLY TO GO OVER THE HIGHLIGHTS THE PROJECT BUDGET IS $17 MILLION AS I SAID HAGGER MAN WILL HOLD ALL THE CONTRACTS.

THEY'RE ASKING FOR A GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE OF $14,043,382 THAT IS TO DO ALL THE CONSTRUCTION FOR THE PROJECT.

AND ANOTHER COMPONENT OF THE PROJECT ARE THE SOFT COSTS, CONSULTING FEES, PERMITS, SO ON AND THAT TOTAL IS $2,956,542.

THE TOTAL OF THOSE TWO FOMENT COMPONENTS GET US TO $16,999,924. AND AS I SAID THE BUDGET IS 17 MILLION. THERE WERE MANY ALTERNATE THAT IS WE IDENTIFIED IN THIS PROJECT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KNOW WHETHER WE WERE GOING TO COME IN OVER BUDGET OR NOT.

MOST OF THOSE WERE AGE E-ABLE TO TAKE.

THE ONE THING WE'RE HOLDING BAN BACK ON IS A PRESS BOX, THAT WAS A REQUEST THE JUNIOR HIGH MADE AND IF WE WERE ABLE TO DO IT WE'RE AND -- I THINK IT'S $187,000, SO WE DON'T KNOW AT THIS POINT WHETHER WE'LL BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO DO THAT.

WE HAVE TO GET DEEPER INTO THE PROJECT, SEE HOW MUCH CONTINGENCY WE HAVE LEFT BEFORE WE CAN PULL THE TRIGGER ON THAT BUT THAT'S WHY WE'RE SO CLOSE TO THE ACTUAL BUDGET.

SO THAT'S BASICALLY THE THIS WAS.

WE CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE AND IF IT IS POSSIBLE TO GET IT APPROVED TONIGHT, THAT WILL ALLOW US TO START SETTING UP TO START STAGING FOR FOR THE PROJECT AND ACTUALLY START THE CONSTRUCTION IN JANUARY. OTHERWISE WE'LL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL AFTER THE JANUARY BOARD MEETING TO START.

SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I'LL BE MORE THAN GLAD TO ANSWER

THEM. >> YOU DELL US THE SOFT COST AMOUNT AND WHAT THAT ENTAILS? IS THAT THE NEW CABINETS, THAT

[01:35:02]

KIND OF STUFF OR. >> DO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT

THAT? >> SURE.

THE SOFT COSTS REPRESENT LIKE THE ARCHITECT SOFT COSTS, THE ARCHITECT FEES, A LOT OF TECHNOLOGY ITEMS FOR UPGRADING OF TECHNOLOGY ITEM ASKS THERE'S A COST OF THE BONDS, SO ALL THE

TYPICAL STANDARD ITEMS. >> AND WHAT WAS THAT TOTAL ON

THOSE IS THIS. >> TO MILLION $956,542.

>> SO BIBLY THE OUTSIDE I'MS; THE THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING -- THE HARD -- CORRECT. SO THEY'RE THE THINGS THAT ARE

NOT IN THE HARD CONSTRUCTION. >> RIGHT.

>> AND CAN YOU CONFIRM, WHAT WAS THE ORIGINAL BUDGET THAT WE WANTED TO STAY IN -- I KNOW WE VOTED ON SOMETHING AND WAS THAT

17 MILLION? >> 17 MILLION, AND RIGHT NOW TODAY THIS ON THE BOTTOM SAYS -- WHAT'S THIS GRAND TOTAL

14,000,043 -- >> THAT'S THE ACTUAL HARD

CONSTRUCTION. >> HARD COSTS INCLUDING NOT

INCLUDING THE SOFT I'MS. >> IS CORRECT AND THAT'S AS A RESULT OF US BIDDING THE PRINCE GEORGE'S E-PROJECT OUT AND RECEIVING BIDS INTEREST CONTRACTORS CAN HAPPENED ON O

DECEMBER TO. >> SO AGAIN TO REITERATE THE.

SO COSTS PLUS THIS 1443 TO, THE TOTAL IS.

>> $16,999,924. >> SO WE'RE UNDER 17, ROCK STAR.

>> WE HAVE A HEALTHY CONTINGENCY BUILT INTO THIS BECAUSE WHEN YOU DO A RENOVATION PROJECT THERE ARE ALWAYS SURPRISES SO WE HAVE

TO HAVE SOME FLEXIBLEILITY. >> CAN YOU SAY WHAT THAT IS? IS IT WITHIN A CERTAIN DOLLAR AMOUNT OF PERCENTAGE.

>> IN THIS CASE, THE I DON'T KNOW -- LET'S SEE.

MOVE FORWARD SO YOU GUYS CAN -- >> THIS HAS BEEN TALKED ABFOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS AND YOU REFERRED TO US MOVING FORWARD.

>> YES AND YOU HIRED HAGGER MAN ON APRIL 22 TO WORK WITH THE DESIGN TEAM TO GET THE DESIGN COMPLETED STAY ON BUDGET AND YOU GAVE US A TIGHT FRAME TO DO THE WORK AND THE CRACK READS WE START IN DECEMBER SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE --

>> THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THAT.

AGAIN. >>> AND I THINK HARRY YOU'RE HANG OUT HERE FOR OUR 6.01, GROUNDS AGREEMENT BETWEEN HFC

SCHOOLS. >> YES, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS T AT THE LAST BOARD MEETING, NOTHING HAS CHANGED.

THE CITY OF FISHER TAKES CARE OF OUR GROUNDS CARE AS WELL AS OUR SNOW REMOVAL. THEY HAVE NOT INCREASED OUR RATE SINCE 2013, THEY CAME TO US AND ASKED US TO CONSIDER A RATE INCREASE AND IF I HAVE EVERYTHING CORRECT, THE GROUNDS THEY'RE ASKING FOR 4.78 PERCENT RAISE FOR THE FIRST TWO YEARS, ONCE THIS TAKE PLACE AND THEN A THREE PERCENT INCREASE EVERY OTHER YEAR GOING FORWARD. THIS MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING IS FOR A YEAR AT A TIME AND AUTOMATICALLY RENEWS AFTER A YEAR UNLESS'RE PARTY DECIDES NOT TO RENEW IT AND I THINK THERE'S A 60 DAY CLAUSE TO NOT RENEW THE PROJECT.

IT'S GOING BEEN A VERY SUCCESSFL RELATIONSHIP, I THINK IT'S BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY LESS EXPENSIVE THAN IF WE WERE DOING IT OURSELVES OR HIRING A COMPANY TO DO THAT.

IN TERMS OF THE KNOW REMOVAL THEY'RE ASKING FOR -- CAN THAT'S REALLY BASED ON LABOR AND EQUIPMENT AND THEY'RE ASKING FOR A TEN PERCENT RATE INCREASE, EQUIPMENT AND LABOR CHARGES 2022 AND 2023 AND AFTER THAT IT WILL BE A THEE PERCENT RATE INCREASE EVERY OTHER YEAR SO MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO APPROVE THESE TO WE CAN MOVE FORWARD.

>>IVELY ENTERTAIN THE MOTION. >> MOVE TO APPROVE AS PRESENTED.

>> MOTION MADE BY BRAD, DO I HAVE A SECOND?

>> SECOND. >> SECOND MADE BY SARAH PARKS-REESE, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?

CIVIL JULIE CALL FOR THE VOTE. >>> ROLL CALL VOTE.]

>>> THANK YOU. 6.03 IS OUR TEACHER APPRECIATION GRANT AND I HAVE MS. KAY DOWLING HERE TO TALK WITH US ABOUT THAT.

>> I'M NOT SHOWING FAVORITISM. THIS IS JUST THE LAST CLEAN MASK IN MY CAR. THE TEACHER APPRECIATION GRANT IS ALLOCATED BY THE INDIANA GENERAL ASSEMBLY IS THE STATE ALLOCATES ESSENTIAL FOR US YOU CAN SEE THE AMOUNT AT 792,000 IS A BASE AMOUNT OF $37.50. NICKERLY WHEN TAG TAG BAN BIBLY ALL NON-ADMINISTRATOR CERTIFIED STAFF WERE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE THAT. IN FUTURE YEARS AS GAME HAS EVOLVED IT'S BECOME EXCLUSIONARY TO A DEGREE, CURRENTLY WE HAVE AROUND 215 TEACHERS THAT ARE EXCLUDED DUE TO THE DEFINITION OF CLASSROOM UNDERSTAND, 50 PERCENT OR MORE FER DAY SO WE HAVE GOTTEN SPECIFIC GUIDANCE THAT SPEECH PATHOSES ARE COLLUDE SO THAT'S EVOLVED YEAR BY YEAR IN PRIOR YEARS WE HAVE ALLOCATED THE SAME AMOUNT OF THE STIPEND AMOUNT TO THOSE FOLKS THAT ARE EXCLUDED OUT OF NORTHERN NON-TAG MONEY SO THIS YEAR THE CALCULATION FOR AN EFFECTIVE TEACHER IS 57575.

HIGHLY EFFECTIVE IS 71969 AND THEN THE I'M NUMBERS ARE ESSENTIALLY ROUGHLY HALF OF THAT AND SO THE ONLY WHAT WE WOULD BE ASKING FOR IS YOUR APPROVAL TO DISTRIBUTE TAG IN THESE AMOUNTS FOR THE TEACHERS THAT ARE ELIGIBLE AND ALSO DISTRIBUTE TAG LIKE FUNDS IN THE SAME AMOUNT FROM GOVERNMENT TALL FUNDS FROM

THE EDUCATION FUND. >> HOW MUCH WOULD THAT COST FOR

THE 215 WHO ARE EXCLUDED? >> IT'S ROUGHLY 190 TO 230,000 DEPENDING ON A NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT ARE EFFECTIVE VERSUS HIGHLY EFFECT CONSECUTIVE IT IS ONE TIME MONEY, AND IF THIS WERE SOMETHING WE WERE ABLE TO DO THIS IS NOT GUARANTEED EVERY

YEAR,. >>> SO IF WE' APPROVING OR MAKING A MOTION IT'S FOR THE GRANT CAN & THE ADDITIONAL

FUNDS? >> CORRECT.

>> BUT I THINK THE THING THAT WE WANT TO CLARIFY THE GRANT LANGUAGE SAYS SOMETHING AND WE'RE PAYING OUT OF OUR FUNDING FOR THOSE WHO DON'T QUALIFY BASED ON THE LANGUAGE, CASEY IS SAYING THAT'S NO A GUARANTEE EVERY YEAR AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

>> THAT WE HAVE FUNDS TO DO IT THIS TIME IF WE APPROVE IT BUT IT'S NOT NECESSARILY BE THE HAPPEN EVERY YEAR.

>> CORRECT. >> THANK YOU.

>> BECAUSE THE GUIDANCE EVOLVES IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO PLAN IN THE BUDGET SO THAT'S ESSENTIALLY WHAT WE DEAL WITH BUT WE RECEIVE ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE FROM THE STATE.

>> SO THE $792,000 NUMBER IS NOT THE NUMBER, IT'S THAT PLUS THE

ADDITIONAL HUNDRED -- >> 792,000 IS THE AMOUNT PROVIDED THROUGH THE TAG, THE TEACHER APPRECIATION GRANT

THROUGH THE STATE. >> PLUS THE UP TO 230.

>> EXACTLY. >> AND DO YOU HAVE KATIE REAL QUICK, THE LIST AGAIN OF WHAT THOSE OTHER POSITIONS WOULD BE THAT COULD POSSIBLY RECEIVE PART OF THE ONE PHONE LINE 230?

>> IT WOULD BE ALL OF OUR CERT NONADMINISTRATIVE CERTIFIED STAFF WITHIN THE DISTRICT, SO ESSENTIALLY IT'S ANY STAFF MESH THAT IS NOT TEACHING IN A CLASSROOM SETTING 50 PERCENT OR

[01:50:03]

YOUR SPEECH PATHOLOGISTS ARE EXCLUDED, TEACHER DEVELOPMENT

SPECIALISTS ARE EXCLUDED. >> SOMETHING WE CAN TALK TO OUR

LEGISLATORS ABOUT. >>> SO ESSENTIALLY YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR RELATED SERVICES OR YOUR PROVIDERS BUT THEY'RE PROBABLY PROVIDING DIRECT SERVICES TO STAY TUNES BUT BECAUSE IT'S NOT A CLASSROOM SETTING THEY ARE EXCLUDED AND WE WENT AS FAR THIS YEAR TO GET GUIDANCE THAT SPECIFICALLY NAMED THOSE POSS LIKE TEACHER LIBRARIANS AND SPEECH

PATHOLOGISTS. >> I WOULD ARGUE THAT LIBRARIES

DO HAVE CLASSROOMS. >> BELIEVE ME WE LAD THAT DISCUSSION BUT THEIR GUIDANCE SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDES THEM BY

NAME. >> DO OTHER DISTRICTSES DO THIS.

>> I HAVE LOOKED AT WHAT OTHER DISTRICTSES DO.

I KNOW EVERY YEAR THE GUIDANCE LASS GOTTEN MORE SPECIFIC AND NOW THAT WE HAVE TO CODE WE'RE KNOW CODING TEACHERS 110 IF THEY'RE A CLASSROOM TEACHER 50 PERCENT OR MORE, THEY'RE NOW AUDITING US ON THAT SO THERE'S BEEN ADDITIONAL STEPS TAKEN TO AE-ENSURE THAT EVERYONE IS TOLLING THE GUIDANCE.

>> AND I WOULD ARGUE WITH THE LACK OF SUBSTITUTES MANY TIMES

THEY'RE TEACHERS. >> AND WE HAVE THOSE IN OUR

BUDGET FOR THIS YEAR. >> WE HAVE FUNNELS AVAILABLE THAT ARE APPROPRIATED THAT WERE NOT ORIGINALLY BUDGETED FOR THIS PURPOSE BUT THEY ARE AVAILABLE, MOSTLY BECAUSE OF THE STAFFING SHORTAGE SO THAT'S WHY IT'S EVALUATED YEAR TO YEAR.

>> THANK YOU. >> I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO

APPROVE. >> I MOVE TO APPROVE THE TEACHER APPRECIATING GRANT AS PRESENTED TO DISTRIBUTE THE TAG FUNDS ALONG WITH APPROVING THE ALLOCATION OF THE ADDITIONAL FUNDSES THAT PAY THE ADDITIONAL STAFF.

>> MOTION MADE BY JULIE, SEXED BY MICHELLE.

>> DO DO WE HAVE TO AMENDMENT IT FOR A CAP?

>> NO BECAUSE IT'S A MULTIPLICATION, THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE THE NUMBER OF OF TEACHERS WHO QUALIFY --

>>> WHAT I'M SAYING IS DO WE HAVE A CAP THAT DOESN'T COME OUT

TO 285 OR SOMETHING. >> IT CAN'T BECAUSE WE KNOW HOW MANY CERTIFIED STAFF WE HAVE MULTIPLIED BY THESE IN YOUR NUM.

>>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? I'LL HAVE JULIE CALL FOR THE VOTE.

OKAY O, NOW ON TO 6.04 NEW HIGH SCHOOL NEW COURSE PROPOSAL WITH MICHELLE BRITAIN WATTS. WELCOME.

>> HELLO. HOW ARE YOU? GOOD EVENING BOARD MEMBERS AND DR. STOKES.

YOU CANULAR ME? USE ANY TEACHER VOICE.

I COME BEFORE YOU SEEKING APPROVAL FOR THE 20212022 COURSE PROPOSALS. I HAVE HERE WITH ME STACY BROWN WHO IS THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL WHO IS IN CHARGE OF THIS PROCESS AT HAMILTON SOUTHEASTERN HIGH SCHOOL.

I ALSO HAVE STEVE ROSIER WHO IS HERE WITH ME FROM FISHERS HIGH SCHOOL SHOULD THERE BE ANY QUESTIONS.

[01:55:07]

>> OKAY,IVELY ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE.

>> CAN WE PULL THESE THREE APART >> THEY ARE PRESENTED AS A COLLECTIVE SO IF YOU WANT TO GO HEED AND HAVE DISCUSSION PRIOR WE CAN DO THAT. DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR OUR ADMINISTRATORS?

>> I WILL TELL YOU THAT MY QUESTION THAT I RAISED LAST TIME WOULD BE A QUESTION THAT I WOULD ON THE MUSIC COURSE WITH THE AUDITIONS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, HOW DOES THAT GET PLAYED OUT OR HOW DOES THAT GET LIVED OUT IN PRACTICE, BECAUSE I HAVE CONCERNS THAT THAT IS POTENTIALLY VERY SMALL GROUP DEDICATING A LOT OF RESOURCE TO A VERY SMALL GROUP WHEN WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO NEED MORE RESOURCES THAN WE PROBABLY HAVE

TO ALLOCATE. >> I DON'T KNOW IF YOU READ BUT OUR BOARD UPDATE DR. STOKES SAID THIS COURSE ON THE TEACHER CONDUCTED STUDENT SURVEY TO GAUGE DOCTOR FOR THIS COURSE PRIOR TO SUBMISSION THERE WERE MORE THAN 50 STUDENTS EXPRESSING INTEREST. THE COURSE WOULD HAVE AN ENROLLMENT CAP OF 2020. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT ANSWERS THE

QUESTION. >> NOT REALLY BUT THAT'S OKAY.

>> BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE AN AUDITION IT'S EASY TO SAY I'M GOING TO HAVE THREE KIDS IN THAT CLASS SO WHAT PREVIOUS PREVIOUSS US FROM HAVING AN AUDITION AND HAVING CAN CAN KIDS IF THAT CLA?

>> I THINK THAT THERE ARE PROCESSES IN PLACE TO ENSURE THAT THERE WESTERN ZONE BE THREE STUDENT IN THAT PARTICULAR CLASS, AGAIN, IT WAS THE PURPOSE OF THIS CLASS WAS BROUGHT BEFORE THE ADMINISTRATION BECAUSE THERE WAS A NEED AND A DESIRE FOR STUDENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS PARTICULAR -- THIS LEVEL OF COURSE SO WITH THE SURVEY THAT THE TEACHER CONDUCTED THERE WERE 50 STUDENTS AND I WOULD ANTICIPATE MORE AS WE HAVE OTHER STUDENTS THAT HAVE INTERESTED IN THIS COURSE THAT MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN THAT, AND IT'S POSSIBLE THAT CAP COULD GO UP TO AS MUCH AS 25 BUT I DOUBT VERY SERIOUSLY WITH 50 STUDENTS WHO ARE ALREADY IN CURRENT PROGRAMMING WITHIN THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT THAT THERE WOULD BE LESS THAN THE ALLOTTED AMOUNT.

>> AND DISIN THE TEACHERS' BOAST INTERESTS TO HAVE STUDENTS GRADUATE WHO GO ON TO VOCAL CAREERS, COLLEGE AND VOCAL PERFORMANCE CAREERS WHICH WAS INDICATED IN THE UPDATE.

SO WHY THEY WOULD WANT TO LIMIT IT TO THREE I DON'T SEE THAT LAPPING. ON WE HAVE TEACHERS HO DON'T WANT THEIR STUDENTS TO EXCEL IN SOMETHING THEY TEACH.

>> AND I KNOW THAT WE HAVE OTHER CLASS THAT IS MAYBE HAVE SMALLER -- NOT EVERY COURSE, WE'RE NOT HAVING LECTURE HALLS FULL OF CLASSES BUT I THINK IT'S INCREDIBLE WE'RE ABLE TO OFFER CLASSES FOR STUDENT WHO MAY HAVE THIS TALENT AND MAY BE GOING TO SCHOOLS THAT ARE ABLE THE TAKE THESE ADVANCE LEVEL CAUSERS TO PREPARE THEM FOR THAT THAT KIND OF COMPETITION GOING INTO THE UNIVERSITY OF OR PROFESSIONAL LEVELS.

I JUST THINK IT'S GREAT AND I THINK WE FORGET HOW IMPORTANT THOSE THINGS ARE SOMETIMES TO FUNDAMENTALS AND WORKING INTO ACADEMICS, IT'S NOT JUST A SEPARATE HOBBY; IT CAN BE A CAREER AND ENHANCE THEIR ACADEMIC LEARNING IN OUR OSCULE

SO I THINK IT'S GREAT. >> OKAY, BEFORE -- I'M SORRY, BEFORE I GET CALL FOR THE VOTE WE DO HAVE ONE MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, SO IF I COULD HAVE RAY

MELON COME UP FOR THIS. >> .

>> I SPOKE THIS ON THE LAST TIME IT CAME OUT BUT JUST TO RESTATE I HAVE A PH.D. IN CHEMISTRY DOING ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMISTRY AND LATER MISSILE DEAF RIGHT SIDE.

BEFORE I REPEAT MY OBJECTION I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE

[02:00:05]

>>> THANK YOU. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS BY THE

BOARD? >> CAN I JUST SAY THAT PLANT AND SOIL SCIENCES WAS IN DR. STOKES' UPDATE.

STUDENTS ENTER INTO THE FOLLOWING AREAS OF PLANT SCIENCE . . .

>>> SO THAT IS MORE IN-DEPTH OF WHAT THEY'RE TEACHING IN THAT.

>>> I WOULD BE INTERESTED TO SEE IF WE COULD GET ANY -- IF THEY WANT TO APPLY TO OUR DISTRICT AND THEY WANT TO TEACH IN OUR SCHOOLS I WOULD TAKE THEM 100 PERCENT.

>>ING CORRECT ME IF I'M CORRECTG BUT THAT ENGINEERING COURSE IS TAUGHT BY TEACHERS WHO ARE IN PROJECT LEAD THE WAY AND TWO OF MY KIDS WENT TO IT CAN I BELIEVE THEY WILL BE BRINGING IN ENGINEERS IN DIFFERENT FIELDS TO DISCUSS WHAT THEY DO.

AND FEEL FREE TO TALK -- >> JUST TO CLARIFY I THINK IT WAS ANSWERED IN THE LAST MEETING THAT THESE ARE NOT REPLACING ANY FUNDAMENTAL COURSES. THAT'S ASKED AT THE LAST MEETING AND DISCUSSED AT SOME LENGTH THAT THESE ARE NOT REPLACING, THEY ARE ADDING COURSES THAT STUDENTS HAVE ASKED FOR.

THE TEACHERS HAVE AN INTEREST IN AND IT ENHANCES OUR ACADEMICS BUT IT'S NOT REPLACING ANY FUNDAMENTAL COURSES ORBICCHEMISTRY OR BIOLOGY COURSES THAT STUDENTS MAY BE REQUIRED TO TAKE AS A PREREQUISITE.

>> FRANKLY ONE OF THE THINGS I TEND TO BRAG TO MY FRIENDS IN THE COMMUNITY ABOUT IS I WALKED INTO A HIGH SCHOOL -- FISHERS HIGH SCHOOL AND LOOKED LOOKED LE COURSE SELECTIONS AND I WAS FLOORED AT THE AMOUNT OF OPTIONS THEY HAD TO EXPLORE THEIR LIKES AND INTERESTS IT AND RIVALS ANY COMMUNITY COLLEGE IN OUR AREA AND I THINK LIMITING SOME OF THESE COURSES WHERE WE HAVE INSTRUCTORS THAT ARE EXCITED AND INTERESTED AND KIDS THAT ARE EXCITED AND INTERESTED I THINK THAT YOU WOULD BE A HUGE DISSERVICE TO OUR STUDENTS TO NOT OFFER THESE COURSES.

>> AND THAT DISCOVERING LITERATURE ENGLISH COURSE IS AN IU COURSE THAT STUDENTS WILL GET CREDIT FOR SO WE COMPLAINT SAY

[02:05:02]

IF YOU WANT TO GET OUT IN THREE AND A HALF YEARS YOU CAN SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO SAY SORRY IU, WE'RE NOT GOING TO TEACH IT THAT

WAY. >> CAN I ADD SOMETHING?

>> PLEASE. >> FOR AS LONG AS I'VE BEEN IN THE DISTRICT OUR HIGH SCHOOL COURSES, OUR HIGH SCHOOL SCHEDULE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A STUDENT DRIVEN SCHEDULE WHICH MEANS WE OFFER COURSE IN OUR O COURSE GUIDE BUT WE ACTUALLY RUN THE COURSES THAT STUDENTS SIGN UP TO TAKE, SO WHEN THERE'S CONCERN ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE MIGHT BE EXTENDING OUR RESOURCES TOO FAR, OUR OFFERINGS ARE WIDE BUT WE SOMEDAY WITHIN OUR MEANS AND OUR RESOURCES BY ONLY O OFFERING THE COURSES IN WHICH ASSUMES HAVE EXPRESSED INTEREST IN TAKING AND AND OBVIOUSLY WOULD MEET ALL OF THE STATE REQUIREMENTS FOR A DIPLOMA.

>> I LOVE THAT. THANK YOU.

OKAY, I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE.

>> INCH MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL COURSE

PROPOSALS AS PRESENTED. >> I SECOND.

>> MOTION MADE BY MICHELLE SECONDED BY JULIE.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMUNITY COLLEGES? SEEING THERE ARE NONE I'LL HAVE JULIE CALL FOR THE VOTE.

WE HAVE THE 6.05 SCHOOL BOARD ELECTORAL DISTRICTS.

WE HAVE A RESOLUTION THAT MODIFIES IT IT'S REQUIRED BY THE STATE TO HAVE THIS DONE BY THE END OF THE YEAR SO WE HAVE MAP A AND MAP B, I HAVE PRIOR TO THIS INCH CALL UP OUR MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK.

SO I WOULD ASK TINA ACRES TO COME UP.

MADAM PRESIDENT, I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE TO PRESENT A MAP C AS AN OPTION TOO. THERE'S BEEN A SLIGHT REVISION TO THE MAP B CHOICE THAT WE HAVE THAT PER CONVERSATIONS I'VE HAD WITH OTHER BOARD MEMBERS AND THAT WOULD MAKE IT BE ANOTHER OPTION TO CONSIDER, SO I JUST WANTED TO PUT TO OUT THERE.

WE CAN HAVE ALL THE DISCUSS BUT I DON'T KNOW I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT GOES BUT I'M MOTIONING TO ADD ANOTHER OPTION THAT WE COULD

SUMMARY. >> OKAY.

>> IT'S JUST -- SO WE HAVE MAP A, B AND THEN AN OPTION O FOR

MAP C. >> HOW ABOUT WE DO -- I'LL HAVE MS. ACRES SPEAK AND WHEN IT COMES TO DISCUSSION I'LL HAVE --

>> WE CAN SHARE THAT INFORMATION.

>> MAYBE IT'S MAP B .1 OR SOMETHING JUST SO THAT -- FOR CLARIFIES IT'S NOT A SEPARATE OPTION.

>> THAT WOULD WORK. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. THANK YOU MEMBERS AND STUDENT STOKES FOR ALLOW ME ME TO SPEAK, I WILL BE SPEAKING ON AGENDA 6.5 AS WELL AS JOHN 32 FROM THE BIBLE AND THAT IS BASICALLY THE TRUTH WILL SET US FREE. . . .

[02:10:49]

I WANTED TOE SPEAK SON THIS FOPPIC AS WELL.

I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE GENTLEMAN THAT WAS -- SORRY, I WAS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE GENTLEMAN THAT WAS BROUGHT UP.

MAINLY BECAUSE I'M ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND I WOULD NOT CONSIDER MYSELF A PERSON THAT SHOULD MAKE THESE KIND OF DECISION. FOR US NOT TO HIRE A PROFESSIONAL GROUP, MAYBE THIS YOUNG MAN WOULD BE A GREAT MENTORING OPPORTUNITY FOR HIM BUT HE'S CLEARLY ONE SIDED IN HIS THINKING AND I DON'T THINK THAT IS A VERY GOOD TRUST BUILDING ACTIVITY IF WITH THE COMMUNITY WHEN YOU BRING SOMEBODY THAT IS IN THAT IS SO WELL INDULGED IN ONE POLITICAL PART OR ANOTHER. YOUI WOULDN'T BE LANE IF IT WASE OTHER POLITICAL PARTY. I DON'T THINK THAT'S RIGHT OR O HAVE A LEVEL OF INTEGRITY THAT I THINK THIS BOARD NEEDS TO HAVE.

I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO SEEK OUT A FIRM THAT WOULD DO THIS TYPE OF WORK AND HAVE SOME STATISTICS TO SAY THIS IS WHY WE SHOULD DRAW THESE LINES DIFFERENTLY.

I WILL SAY I SUPPORT PLAN B BUT I'M NOT AN EXPERT EITHER SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO PURSUE AN EXPERT SO THAT YOU BE MAKE SURE THAT HERB FEELS REALLY GOOD ABOUT HOW THIS IS DOING, IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT FEELING GOOD BUT IT'S DONE WITH INTEGRITY SO I APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. OKAY.

I WILL TAKE BOARD QUESTIONS, COMMENTS AND AND/OR A MOTION.

SUZANNE, YOU HAVE -- >> SO IF JEFF CAN YOU PULL UP THE MAPS, PLEASE? SO WE HAVE LINES THAT WERE BRETT KAVANAUGH UP BROUGHT UP AS MAP A WHICH WAS INITIALLY DONE AND UNFORTUNATELY WHAT CONCERNS ME WHEN I LOOKED AT MAP A IS THE TOTAL SHIFT THAT CHANGED DISTRICTS ONE AND FOUR AROUND.

ORIGINALLY AND I'M GOING TO MAKE THIS PUBLIC INFORMATION TOO IS WHEN I SHARED NUMBERS AT THAT MEETING UNFORTUNATELY I HAD TAPED OVER ONE OF MY DOCUMENTS SEW WHEN I WAS TRANSFERRING LINES I UNFORTUNATELY FOR BOARD MEMBER CHAMBERS I DID NOT SPEAK CORRECTLY ABOUT HER NUMBERS SO I FELT I SHOULD REVISE THAT SO I APOLOGIZE TO JULIE THAT HAMMOND AT THAT MEETING, WHEN I HAD GONE BACK HOME AND RELOOKED AT THE MAPS AND I PULLED UP THE PAPER I'M LIKE HOLY COW I MISSED AN AREA SO I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT HAPPENING. SO IWARD AND ALSO AS I STATED I PUT TOGETHER A REVISED DRAFT OF MAP B THAT'S BEEN SHARED ON BOARD DOCS AND I FELT I WAS BEING A GOOD STEWARD AND TRYING TO CREATE THE LINES SO THAT IT WAS GROWTH EFFECTIVE AND KEEP IT SO IT HAVE NOT CHANGING AS DRASTICALLY SO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE STILL DISTRICT ONE CAN SEE WHERE THEY WERE, DISTRICT ONE, DISTRICT FOUR WAS STILL KNOWN AS DEMOCRATIC FOUR AND THAT AREA WAS COVERING THE MAJORITY OF WAYNE TOWNSHIP AND AS YOU CAN SEE DEMOCRATIC TWO ON BOTH MAPS WERE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME BUT IN COMMENTARY WITH THE OTHER BOARD MEMBERS I HAD SOME TIME TO SPEAK WITH O O THE OTHER BOARD MEMBERS AND ONE OF THE COMMENTS THAT WAS BROUGHT UP IS THIS IS A TEN YEAR MAP SO WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THE

[02:15:02]

GROWTH -- >> WE CAN CHANGE IT.

THE BOARD CAN CHANGE THE MAP AT ANY POINT.

>> THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW. THEN IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENDANCE THAT WHEN WE ARE DOING THESE REDISTRICTING LINES IN CONSIDERATION OF TEN YEARS SO I MADE A REVISION BECAUSE ONE OF THE COMMENTS WAS DISTRICT TWO WHEN YOU LOOK AT DEVELOPMENT AND REAL ESTATE GROWTH WOULD PROBABLY BE THE DISTRICT THAT HAS MORE STAGNANT, THEREFORE THAT AREA AT THIS POINT SHOULD BE OUR LARGEST AREA DISTRICT TWO, SO WHEN I PREPARED MY ORIGINAL B, B, THAT WAS DISTRICT TWO WAS IN LINE WITH WHAT WAS ON OMAN AER WHAT I NOW COME UP WITH YOU CALL IT THE B .1 IS BASICALLY THAT BOTTOM AREA RIGHT HERE WOULD BE DRAWN OUT A LINE, RIGHT HERE WHICH PULLS FALL CREEK TOWNSHIP INTO DELAWARE TOWNSHIP BECAUSE THIS AREA HERE IS NO GOING TO GROW AS MUCH AND WE HAVE A LOT OF RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE GROWTH THAT'S GOING TO BE COMING THIS WAY AND SHOOT UP SO HAVING THIS MAP ON HERE OVER O TIME TIME GIVES THIS DISTRICT RIGHT HERE 31,997.

BUT THE OTHER THREE MAP SIZES WILL ALL BE 28,000.

DEMOCRATIC ONE IS 28953. >>> SPEAKING AWAY FROM MICROPHONE.] SO IT REALLY DOESN'T CHANGE FROM THE EXISTING ONE THAT WE HAD BEFORE A, B AND C BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT SHOWS GROWTH AND I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT I CALLED ORANGE ORIGINALLY THE ELECTION OFFICE AND THAT'S WHO GAVE ME THE NUMBERS TO UTILIZE TO PUT THIS TOGETHER BY PUTTING THE PRECINCTS TOGETHER AND THAT'S HOW I CAME ACROSS PUTTING THIS MAP TOGETHER OF SO I WOULD REALLY SUPPORT EDUCATION B .1.

>> DO YOU HAVE A VISUAL REPPING REPPING O REPRESENTATION OF

THAT? >> SO THOSE IN YOUR OPINIONS THAT CREATES JUST THROUGH THE ONE AREA I TOOK ALL THE PRECINCTS AND NUMBER OFFED THEM ALL OUT AND BALANCED IT ALL OUT SO THOSE THREE OTHER DISTRICTS ARE ALL IN LINE BUT GIVES THAT DISTRICT TWO THAT LITTLE AREA OF UP SO THE OTHER DISTRICTS WILL

CATCH UP. >>> I BELIEVE THOSE NUMBERS GIVES US OVER A TEN PERCENT DIFFERENCE FROM LARGE LARGEST TO

SMALLEST. >> I WOULD JUST SAY SO FROM SOME OF IS IT EXEMPTS I DID DRAW THE MAP, IT WASN'T A SECRET.

THIS HAS BEEN TALKED ABOUT FOR YEARS THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO REDRAW THESE LINES SO IF SOMEBODY ON THE BOARD WASN'T AWARE OF THAT I WAS ALWAYS HAPPY TO TALK ABOUT THAT.

IT'S BEEN MENTIONED AT MEETINGS IN PAST.

IT WAS BROUGHT UP AT A MEETING LAST YEAR I THINK SO END UP OF THIS IS NEW. IT'S STATUTORY; IT'S ALL CONNECTED TO THE CENSUS AND IT'S A REQUIREMENT, SO THISN'T SOMETHING I DECIDED. AS SECRETARY I OFFERED TO TAKE IT ON. I NEVER TOLD A BOARD MEMBER THAT I I WOULDN'T TALK ABOUT IT.

AND IF SOMEBODY DIDN'T REACH OUT I JUST ASSUMED THAT THERE WAS

NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT. >> I HAVE A QUESTION AND MAYBE SUZANNE, YOU CAN ANSWER THIS BECAUSE YOUR MAP -- MAYBE NOT BUT TWO OF THE SPEAKERS MENTIONED GERRYMANDERING BUT GAVE IN SUSPICIOUS EXAMPLE OF THAT SO BY JUST MENTIONING THE WORD IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN THAT THERE'S ANYTHING JERRY GERRYMANDERED ABOUT THIS AND TO ECHO WHAT JULIE SAID SHE MENTIONED THIS LAST YEAR OR WELL, THIS YEAR WITH THE NEW

[02:20:02]

>>> NOT SURE WHAT REQUEST YOU'RE ASKING BUT AS A BOARD MEMBER I'VE NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN POLITICS, THAT WORD IS NEW TO ME ANYWAY. THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M SAYING.

WITHWHAT I'M SAYING IS I DON'T E THE SHIFT IN THE WAY IT CHANGES FOR OUR COMMUNITY. I THINK THE NUMBERS SHOW THAT IT'S MORE BALANCED GOING THIS WAY.

I HEAR WHERE WE'RE HAVING THE PERCENT CHANGE, DEMOCRATIC THREE WILL GROW AND PULL, SO WILL WAYNE TOWNSHIP, WE HAVE OTHER 642 PERMITS OUT THERE GETTING READY TO BE BUILT BY OUR BUILDERS. WE EVER BUSINESSES AND COMMERCE COMING TO OUR COMMUNITY THAT ARE GOING TO BE BUILDING AND BRINGING FAMILIES. CAN WE TELL YOU WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO SIT NO BUT OH TIME IT'S AND COME UP AND PUSH, SO I WASN'T COMFORTABLE WITH THE LINES THAT WE SAW.

I PREPARED MY LINES PRIOR TO THE MEETING BECAUSE I HAD THANKFULLY TO MR. LAST NAME NON-OVER O HERE HE PUT AN ARTICLE OUT THERE THAT SAID THERE WAS GOING TO BE A CHANGE AND THAT WAS HAPPENING AND THE PRECINCTS GOT TO BE CHANGED AND I REACHED OUT TO OUR PRESIDENT SAYING THAT I WAS INTERESTED IN THE LINES AND WANTED MORE INFORMATION AND UNFORTUNATELY WE NEVER CONNECTED BUT I HAD NO IDEA THAT MS. CHAMBERS WAS WORKING ON THE MAPS, I TOOK IT UPON MYSELF SAYING HEY THIS IS EXCITING AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE APPRECIATED BY THE BOARD THAT LOOK, I WORKED ON MAPS. AND I WAS INSTRUCTED TO GO THE PRECINCTS, LINE UP THE NUMBER OFS AND IT'S A PUZZLE AND YOU PLAY AROUND WITH IT AND IF YOU COULD BE AT MY KITCHEN TABLE THERE'S PROBABLY EIGHT CRUMBLED UP MAPS.

SO THAT'S WHAT I USED IS MY REALIZATION PERCENT CAN THE PRECINCT NUMBERS I RECEIVED FROM THE ELECTION OFFICE, AND THANKFULLY I KNEW WHEN IT WAS COMING UP AND I THOUGHT WHEN YOU MADE AN ANNOUNCEMENT THAT YOU WERE GOING TO SHARE IT AT THE BOARD KNEEING AND MEETING AND I COULD SALARY MY INFORMATION.

TODAY AFTER TALKING TO OTHER BOARD MEMBERS I WENT AHEAD AND PUT TOGETHER B .1 IF YOU WILL THAT I PUSHED DOWN TO SHOW A LITTLE MORE BALANCE AND I THINK IT'S A VERY SUCCESSFUL MAP THAT

WOULD BENEFIT OUR COMMUNITY. >> THE NUMBERS ON B --

>> AND I JUST TOOK A PICTURE AND TEXTED IT TO THE BOARD MEMBERS.

>> I WANT TO KNOW THE IN YOUR IR OPINIONS FOR B BECAUSE THE SHIFT OF THIS AREA ALONG 100 SOMETHING -- I CAN'T READ THAT

LITTLE WRITING, 100. >> ACCORDING THESE MAPS THAT I HAVE HERE -- THAT AREA IS 198. SO WE'RE DAY TAKING THAT NUMBERY INTEREST DISTRICT THREE AND PUTTING THAT INTO DISTRICT TWO.

>> 198 AND 2,049, SO THAT INCREASES DISTRICT TWO'S NUMBERS

SO -- >>

[02:34:13]

>> I THINK THAT WOULD BE CREATING A MORE POLITICAL

[02:34:15]

[02:35:04]

YOU READ THAT, HE'S TRYING TO STOP GERRYMANDERING. ADDRESSING GERRYMANDERING DOESN'T MEAN HE'S TRYING TO GERRYMANDER. THAT'S NOT WHAT THAT MEANS. SO I WAS DISAPPOINTED IN THAT.

>> IF I MAKE A QUICK COMMENT TO THAT, THOUGH. WHAT HAPPENED IS IT WAS A SURPRISE VISITOR. AND I THINK WHAT THAT DOES IS IT RAISED FLAGS TO PEOPLE. WHETHER RIGHT OR WRONG, IT RAISED FLAGS FOR PEOPLE. AND BECAUSE OF HIS BACKGROUND AS A STRONG-SIDED POLITICAL PARTY, IT RAISES QUESTIONS THAT THERE'S SPECIFICS COMMENTS THAT HAD BEEN MADE THAT FAVORS THAT. THOUGH YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN THINKING THAT IN DRAWING YOUR LINES, BRINGING THAT PERSON IN TO SUPPORT AND TALK ABOUT THAT RAISES FLAG. AND THAT'S, I THINK, AND UNFORTUNATELY, THERE'S NO ONE THAT CAN PROVE RIGHT OR WRONG BECAUSE WE AREN'T MAKING OUR

MAPS FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES. >> BUT THEY CAN. THERE'S NO DATA TO SHOW THIS MAP BENEFITS ANY OF US. YOU CAN'T LOOK AT THIS MAP AND SAY SOMEHOW POLITICALLY THIS BENEFITS ME. THE DATA DOESN'T PAN OUT THAT WAY. I COULD HAVE DRAWN A MAP THAT LOOKS DIFFERENT. THAT'S JUST NOT WHAT THE DATA SHOWS. BUT AGAIN, THE REASON I BROUGHT HIM IS SO EVERYBODY COULD SEE WHO HAD HELPED ME. I DON'T KNOW ANYBODY ELSE HAS TALKED TO YOU ABOUT THESE MAPS. I DON'T KNOW WHO HAS TALKED TO BRAD.

>> NOBODY. >> I DON'T KNOW.

>> BUT ANOTHER COMMENT TO THAT IS WHAT YOU DO -- BUT YOU'VE ALSO TOTALLY RESHAPED DISTRICT 1 TO MOVE IN TO WAYNE TOWNSHIP, WHICH IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT DISTRICT FOR BOARD MEMBER BOYER.

AND MOVES YOUR DISTRICT WAY DOWN. THAT CHANGES THE WHOLE ENTIRE DISTRICT PLAN FOR YOURS. SO EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN SAY THERE WAS NOT THAT THOUGHT THERE, IT RAISES A FLAG OF WHY THAT HAPPENED. AND I'M PUTTING THAT OUT THERE.

>> AND THAT'S FAIR. >> BUT YOU CAN LOOK AT IT AND THERE'S NO EVIDENCE. HOW DOES IT HELP JULIE?

>> AGAIN, I DIDN'T -- >> I'M SORRY. I'M JUST GOING TO SAY HONESTLY, WHERE 4 IS IN THE MAPS THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE, FROM WHERE THAT DISTRICT 4 IS NOW, OTHER THAN TAKING WAYNE TOWNSHIP OUT OF IT, IT ONLY ADDS TWO PRECINCTS TO IT. IT ACTUALLY, IT REMOVES WAYNE TOWNSHIP FROM 4, BUT IT ONLY ADDS TWO PRECINCTS TO IT. THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. FROM WHERE IT

CURRENTLY DRAWS NOW. -- >> IT DOES IN THE SENSE THAT IF THE BALANCE OF THE GROWTH IN THE COMMUNITY OF THE DIFFERENT DEVELOPING THAT'S GOING ON. YES, IT DOES CHANGE. FROM THE LAST MAP, YOU'RE CORRECT. THERE'S NOT A LOT OF PRECINCT CHANGE. BUT THAT'S THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF WHY WE'RE REDOING ALL THESE LINES RIGHT NOW. ONE, A BALANCE AND SET IT UP FOR GROWTH FOR THE FUTURE OF THE COMMUNITY AND VOTING. I'VE SAID ALL THAT I NEEDED TO SAY. AND I, YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU GUYS, EVERYONE'S GOING TO VOTE WHAT THEY FEEL IS BEST. I PUT OUT TO THE PUBLIC THE REASON WHY I DID MY MAP. AND I REVISED IT ONE MORE TIME BECAUSE I LISTENED TO THE OTHER BOARD MEMBERS THAT FELT THAT DISTRICT 2 NEEDED TO HAVE MORE PEOPLE IN IT. BECAUSE IT'S MOST STAGNANT. AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE REST, THE OTHER ONES ARE WAY MORE BALANCED AND IT REALLY DOES MAKE FOR BENEFICIAL MAP. SO THAT'S IT. MADAM PRESIDENT, I MOVE TO APPROVE THE DISTRICT MAPS AS PRESENTED WITH MAP A.

>> MOTION MADE FOR MAP A. DO I HAVE A SECOND?

>> I'LL SECOND. >> SECOND MADE BY SARAH PARKS REESE. DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION OR A COMMENT?

>> YEAH. CAN I HAVE THE NUMBERS IN THE DISTRICTS FOR A?

[02:40:03]

>> YES. >> WHAT DO YOU WANT TO KNOW,

BRAD? >> I WANT TO KNOW THE POPULATION FOR THE FOUR DISTRICTS AS SHOWN IN MAP A.

>> DO YOU HAVE IT OR DO YOU WANT ME?

>> BRAD, IT HAS ONE THAT'S 28 -- TWO AT 2960.

>> NO. >> THOSE AREN'T THE RIGHT ONES.

>> HOLD ON, BRAD. >> YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT DISTRICT

1? OH, FOR MAP A. >> YES.

>> WHICH THEY'VE BEEN UPDATED SINCE THEN. I BELIEVE.

>> SO THE MAP DISTRICT A, THAT I CALCULATED --

>> HOLD ON. NOT BASED ON YOUR CALCULATIONS. THE NUMBERS I GOT FROM MAP A ARE DIRECTLY FROM THE CLERKS OFFICE.

>> OKAY. SARAH, DO YOU HAVE THOSE NUMBERS? CONVENIENTLY?

>> THAT'S WHAT I HAD VERIFIED. >> YEAH. THEY CHANGED SLIGHTLY.

>> OKAY. >> TALK TO THE CLERK ON THAT

ONE. >> OKAY.

>> OR AFTER I DID. >> WHEN I GOT THE -- FROM THE ELECTION OFFICE THAT SAID DISTRICT MAP A WAS 28,-- SCHOOL DISTRICT 1 WAS 28,481. DISTRICT 2 IS 29,750. DISTRICT 3 IS

28,579. AND DISTRICT 4 -- >> SO THE NUMBERS FOR THE MAP FOR MAP A THAT ARE DIRECTLY FROM THE CLERK'S OFFICE. DISTRICT 1 IS 28,176. DISTRICT 2 IS 29,751. DISTRICT 3 IS 30,476. DISTRICT 4

IS 30,216. >> 7% DIFFERENCE. WHICH IS ABOUT 7.5% DIFFERENCE FROM LARGEST TO SMALLEST.

>> SO MADAM PRESIDENT, HOW DOES THAT WORK THEN IF I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION FOR IT TO BE MAP B 1?

>> YOU HAVE TO VOTE ONLINE. >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND ON THE FLOOR FOR MAP A. SO YOU HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THAT IS DONE.

>> OKAY. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? ALL RIGHT. I'LL HAVE JULIE CALL FOR THE VOTE.

>> SARAH PARKS-REESE. >> YES.

>> MICHELLE FALLHART. >> YES.

>> BRAD BOYER. DO YOU WANT ME TO COME BACK TO

YOU? >> YEAH.

>> JANET PRITCHETT. >> YES.

>> SARAH DOSBACH. >> YES.

>> SUZANNE THOMAS. >> NO.

>> BRAD BOYER. >> YES.

>> MADAM PRESIDENT, MAKE AN AMENDMENT THAT WE CONSIDER MAP

B.1. >> DO I HAVE A SECOND FOR MAP B?

>> B.1. >> B.1.

>> I'LL SECOND THAT.

>> OKAY. MOTION MADE AND SECONDED. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?

>> OKAY. >> I'M KIND OF CONFUSED.

>> YOU KNOW WHAT. >> WE'VE ALREADY PASSED MAP A BY MAJORITY VOTE. WE CAN'T VOTE FOR ANOTHER MAP.

>> I AMENDED IT TO BE INSTEAD OF A, B.1.

>> SO WE PASSED MAP A. YOU'RE AMENDING IT TO SAY NO A.1 BUT

B.1 -- OR NO A BUT B.1. >> WE SECONDED IT. IF YOU GUYS

DON'T PASS THEN WE GO -- >> WE DID ESSENTIALLY ALREADY.

>> POINT OF ORDER. ONCE AN ITEM IS MOTIONED AND SECONDED AND VOTED ON, THAT ITEM IS THEN CLOSED.

>> ACCORDING TO ROBERTS RULES, YOU CAN AMENDMENT. AND I'M ASKING TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT TO THAT.

>> NOT AFTER A VOTE. >> YOU COULD AMEND IT WHEN IT

WAS STILL ON THE FLOOR. >> YES.

>> YEAH.

>> OKAY. I WILL CALL FOR THE VOTE. ON MAP B.1.

[02:45:06]

>> SARAH PARKS REESE. >> NO.

>> MICHELLE FULLHART. >> NO.

>> BRAD BOYER. >> NO.

>> JANET PRITCHETT. >> NO.

>> SARAH DOSBACH. >> NO. --

>> YES. >> OKAY. I'M A NO.

>> REDEFINING BOUNDARY LINE PLAN. FINAL PLAN WITH DR.

STOKES. >> ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE KATIE DOWELLING AND KIM LIPPE COME UP IF YOU WILL.

UNFORTUNATELY, ZAK MCKINLEY IS NOT WITH US TONIGHT. BUT I'M SURE THEY'RE MORE THAN CAPABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.

>> CAN YOU PUT UP THE PLANS FOR ME, PLEASE, JEFF.

>> HI. WELCOME. BACK AGAIN. >> WE'LL SHORTEN OUR

PRESENTATION FROM ONE HOUR. >> I THOUGHT IT WAS TWO HOURS.

>> JUST TO GIVE A LITTLE HISTORY ON WHERE WE STARTED WITH THIS PROCESS OF REDISTRICTING. INITIALLY, BACK IN JULY WHEN I STARTED, WE LOOKED AT THIS AND THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE CORPORATION WIDE. AND AFTER WE CONSULTED NOT JUST WITH PROCTOR STRATEGIES, BUT MORE WITH DR. MCKIBBON. THAT IS WHEN THE DISCUSSION GOT DEEPER TO THE MINIMUM AS OPENING DEER CREEK. SORRY, AS IT RELATED TO OPENING DEER CREEK ELEMENTARY, TO BASICALLY -- SORRY, KIM -- TO PROVIDE US WITH ENOUGH TIME FOR THE HOUSING MARKET AND OTHER FACTORS TO RECOVER FROM THE IMPACT OF THE PANDEMIC. KNOWING WE WOULD NEED ANOTHER DEMOGRAPHIC STUDY. WE WOULD NEED SOME GEO CODING DUE TO THINGS WE'RE SEEING IN OUR POPULATION, AS WELL AS THEN HAVING A FULL ON REDISTRICT FOR THE CORPORATION. SO THE RECOMMENDATION FROM DR. MCKIBBON WHO FRANKLY DOES THE DEMOGRAPHIC STUDIES FOR MOST SCHOOLS IN THE STATE OF INDIANA WAS TO DO THE MINIMUM, DISRUPT THE MINIMUM.

AND THAT WAS REALLY WHERE WE TOOK THIS OUT KNOWING WE DIDN'T WANT TO DO THE FULL ON REDISTRICTING AND MOVING THE PEOPLE. SO WE ALREADY KNOW AFTER THIS THERE WILL BE A NEED TO UPDATE THE DEMOGRAPHIC STUDY. THERE WILL BE NEEDS TO LOOK AT ALL THE THINGS WE KNOW COMING DOWN THE PIPE. IT WAS DESIGNED TO BE ONE STEP IN A LONG TERM PLAN FOR THE CORPORATION.

>> WE HAD NOT INTENDED ON GOING THROUGH THE SCENARIOS AGAIN SINCE WE DID THAT THROUGH -- YEAH.

>> YEAH, DON'T. >> THROUGH THE WORK SESSION. I THINK JUST OUT OF THIS WHOLE PROCESS, AND WITH THE COMMUNITY INPUT AND FEEDBACK FROM THE BOARD, WE CAME UP WITH THREE OPTIONS. AND PLAN -- OPTION C SEEMS TO ALIGN, BEST ALIGN WITH IMPACTING THE LEAST AMOUNT OF STUDENTS. HOWEVER, THEN WE RECEIVED DATA AND INPUT THAT PROMPTED US TO CREATE TWO ADDITIONAL OPTIONS FOR THE BOARD TO CONSIDER.

>> SO IF YOU COULD SHOW THOSE OTHER TWO OPTIONS. AND THEN WE WILL LET THE BOARD HAVE CONVERSATION. SO THIS IS SCENARIO B. WHICH WE SHARED ALL OF THIS AT THE WORK SESSION. AND THEN BASED ON SOME INPUT AT OUR LAST BOARD WORK SESSION, SCENARIO D.1. SO I THINK ALL OF THE BOARD MEMBERS HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT THIS INFORMATION AGAIN THROUGH THE BOARD UPDATE. SO JANET, IF YOU'RE SO INCLINED, WE WOULD LIKE FOR THE BOARD TO DISCUSS AND THEN LET US KNOW WHICH PLAN YOU WOULD LIKE US TO MOVE FORWARD WITH.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS IT SAYS HERE DR. STOKES WILL MAKE A RECOMMENDATION. SO WHAT IS YOUR RECOMMENDATION?

>> OUR RECOMMENDATION BASED ON THE INFORMATION THAT WAS SHARED FROM THE START WAS SCENARIO C. THAT WAS OUR RECOMMENDATION.

HOWEVER, WE DO UNDERSTAND THAT, YOU KNOW, BASED ON INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY AND INPUT FROM THE BOARD, WE CAME UP WITH THE SCENARIO D AND THE D.1. SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE ASKING YOU TO

DISCUSS. >> AND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN D

[02:50:01]

ABOUT. >> THE SCHOOL SWITCH. YES. THEY

WANT YOU TO PUT D ON. >> I HAVE A QUESTION, CAN YOU KIND OF CLARIFY -- YOU MADE SOME GREAT COMMENTS TONIGHT AND THROUGHOUT ALL THE PLANNING. FIRST AND FOREMOST, I HAVE TO COMMEND THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE STAFF FOR WORKING SO HARD INVOLVING THE PUBLIC. DOING ALL THE STEPS WE NEED TO DO TO GET TO THIS SPOT RIGHT HERE. MY HICCUP, WHICH I'VE SHARED ALL ALONG. AND I'VE SHARED IT THROUGH EMAILS AND SHARED IT WITH THE BOARD AND SHARED IT WITH YOU ALL, ADMINISTRATION ALSO, IS THAT CLEAR STRATEGIC PLAN. AND WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS -- I'M GOING TO READ SOMETHING BECAUSE IT'S BEST FOR ME TO GET IT OUT THAT WAY. MY NUMBER ONE CONCERN IS NOT HAVING THE CLEAREST STRATEGIC PLAN. WHICH YOU MAY HAVE IT BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS. IF WE NEED A QUICK FIX UNTIL WE REDISTRICT THE WHOLE ELEMENTARY DISTRICT, THEN I HAVE ONE THOUGHT OPTION THAT SUPPORTS THAT THOUGHT. HOWEVER, IF WE CAN'T CONFIRM THAT WE HAVE A STRATEGIC THREE-YEAR PLAN ESTABLISHED, THEN I HAVE ANOTHER THOUGHT PROCESS THAT WOULD SUPPORT THAT OPTION. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT PER THE ADMINISTRATION THAT WE RECEIVED OUTSIDE COUNSELING FROM A VENDOR RECOMMENDING THAT WE WAIT FOR A STATISTIC STUDY. WELL I THINK THAT WAS CORRECT FOR 2021. I FEEL IT SHOULD BE EXPEDITED FOR 2022 WITH URGENCY. WITH MY PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE, I HAVE OVER 20 YEARS IN REAL ESTATE AND EXPERIENCE WITH REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT, ALONG WITH THE FISHERS NOBLESVILLE REAL ESTATE TRENDS. THE ECONOMIC GROWTH WITH FISHERS AND NOBLESVILLE BRINGING LARGE BUSINESSES TO THE AREA, ARE ELEMENTARIES BEING EFFECTIVE NOW? SO WITH THIS IN MIND, I'D LIKE TO SEE THE ADMINISTRATION REQUEST A MORE URGENT STATISTIC STUDY IMMEDIATELY SO WE CAN BEGIN THE LARGER REDISTRICTING PLAN OF ACTION TO TAKE EFFECT FOR OUR KIDS ENTERING KIDS FOR 2023-2024 SCHOOL YEAR. INSTEAD OF A QUICK FIX BANDAID. THIS AFFECTS MY VOTE.

BECAUSE IF WE CAN GET CONFIRMATION THAT A PLAN IS IN EFFECT FOR STUDY 2022, AND PLANS FOR FISHERS ELEMENTARY, THEN MY THOUGHT WOULD BE THAT WE UTILIZE PLAN C AS THE EASY QUICK ANSWER.

THIS WOULD NOT AFFECT THE WHOLE STUDENT AND COMMUNITY AND THE DISTRICT, YET SUPPORTS ARE NEEDED OF FILL DEER CREEK ELEMENTARY. BUT IF THERE'S NO PLAN THAT WE CAN SAY THAT WE ARE GOING TO STRATEGICALLY PLAN FOR THE LARGER REDISTRICTING IN 2022, AND KNOW THAT WE ARE GOING TO DO THIS TO AFFECT THE 2023-2024 SCHOOL YEAR. THEN PLAN D WOULD BE THE PLAN. THIS ALLEVIATES SOUTHEASTERN, FILLS DEER CREEK, AND MOVES STUDENTS TO A CLOSER SCHOOL. THAT'S MY TWO CENTS.

>> THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR THE

BOARD? >> SO I HAVE A QUESTION. SO D.1, ONE OF THE BULLET POINTS IS POTENTIAL FOR SAND CREEK ELEMENTARY TO BECOME A TITLE 1 SCHOOL. I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT THIS AT OUR WORK SESSION. BUT FOR THE SAKE OF REPEATING IT, COULD WE REPEAT KIND OF WHAT THAT CHANGE OR IMPACT WOULD BE

FOR THE DISTRICT? >> CURRENTLY, AND STEPHANIE, DR.

LONG, FEEL FREE TO CHIME IN. BUT CURRENTLY WE HAVE TWO TITLE SCHOOLS AND THAT IS HARRISON -- ELEMENTARY A TITLE SCHOOL. THUS POTENTIALLY SHIFTING RESOURCES. SO IF WE END UP WITH THREE SCHOOLS THAT ARE TITLE, WE WOULD HAVE TO SHARE THOSE RESOURCES

AMONG THOSE THREE BUILDINGS. >> STEPHANIE, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT TO ADD TO THAT, PLEASE?

>> THAT IS ACCURATE. >> SO WE AREN'T INCREASING THE NUMBER OF TITLE -- STUDENTS WHO QUALIFY UNDER TITLE 1. WE WOULD JUST BE SPREADING THEM OUT. AND THEREFORE, OUR RESOURCES WOULD

BE SPREAD A BIT THIN. >> SO WHICH ONE ARE YOU TALKING

ABOUT FOR THAT? >> I THINK THAT MEANS WE'LL BE MORE CONCENTRATED IN TO ONE SCHOOL.

>> I THOUGHT THEY SAID IT WOULD BE HP --

>> IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO GO FROM TWO BUILDINGS TO THREE.

RIGHT NOW WE USE IT SCHOOL WIDE, I BELIEVE IS THE WAY. WHEREAS WE WOULD ESSENTIALLY HAVE TO CHANGE THE PROGRAMMATIC PLAN TO GO TARGETED ASSISTED, IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO SERVICE STUDENTS AT

[02:55:03]

THAT FAIR, DR. LONG? >> YEAH, THAT'S ACCURATE. WE WOULD HAVE TO USE THE SAME BUDGET TO COVER THREE SCHOOLS.

LIKELY TRAVELING TEACHERS. JUST A LITTLE DIFFERENT SUPPORT. WE'D HAVE TO RERISE THE GRANT AS WELL.

>> WHAT DOES THE SUPPORT LOOK LIKE AT EACH SCHOOL CURRENTLY?

LIKE ONE TEACHER, TWO TEACHERS? >> CURRENTLY, DEPENDS ON THE YEAR FOR THE GRANT. SO EVERY YEAR WE WAIT FOR THE ALLEGATION TO DETERMINE STAFFING. OUR GRANT COVERS MOSTLY STAFFING. AND SO THIS YEAR, WE WOULD HAVE TWO TEACHERS AT EACH BUILDING. AND THEN THERE MIGHT BE AN IA AT EACH BUILDING. I'D HAVE TO DOUBLE CHECK THE STAFFING TO BE ACCURATE WITH THAT. WE'RE OBVIOUSLY IN A STAFFING PINCH WHEN IT COMES TO OUR INSTRUCTIONAL ASSISTANTS. THE GRANT IS CURRENTLY ORGANIZED FOR READING SUPPORT. SO THEY DO BOTH PUSH IN AND PULL OUT SMALL GROUP SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED IN LIKE A RANK ORDER PROCESS. AND THEN WE TRANSITION STUDENTS IN AND OUT. SO AS STUDENTS MAKE SUCCESS, WE TRANSITION OTHER STUDENTS IN TO SUPPORT THOSE STUDENTS. WE HAVE HAD TRAVELING TEACHERS BEFORE

BETWEEN TWO BUILDINGS. AND SO. >> MICHELLE, WHEN YOU ASKED THE QUESTION, WERE YOU REFERRING TO THE CHANGE D 1 TO D 3?

>> YEAH, IT'S A BULLET POINT IN D.1.

>> DOING THAT TURNS SAND CREEK IN TO --

>> POTENTIALLY. >> RIGHT. AND IF WE DON'T DO THAT ON THE OTHER TWO OPTIONS, THAT IS NOT THERE.

>> BUT I BELIEVE, AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, AT ANY POINT, ANY

SCHOOL COULD BE TITLE 1. >> I'M JUST UNDERSTANDING YOUR

COMMENT. >> YEAH. CRYSTAL BALL WE THINK IS GOING TO BE THIS. BUT IT MIGHT NOT END UP THAT WAY.

>> AND AFTER I THINK BRAD JUST SAID DR. STOKES, TOO, IS THAT -- WAS TO SAY YOUR RECOMMENDATION IS Z. AFTER DOING ALL THE INFORMATION AND SEEING D AND D.1, IS IT STILL Z, DR. STOKES?

OR DID THE STAFF CONSIDER D.1? >> IF YOU CONSIDER WHAT OUR WHOLE FOCUS WAS, CAN YOU GO BACK TO KATIE -- GO BACK TO WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT WHEN WE FIRST, LIKE OUR GOALS OR WHATEVER. I CAN'T

READ -- I CAN'T SEE THAT. >> WITH MY COMMENTS THAT I MADE FOR YOU. IS THERE ANY WAY, DO WE KNOW THAT WE ARE DOING A STRATEGIC STUDY AND THE REDIST REDISTRICTING? IS THAT ON THE BOOKS OR PLAN. ARE --

>> ARE RE LOOKING AT THE DISTRICT AS A WHOLE.

>> YES, I KNOW WE WERE LOOKING AT A VENDOR TO GIVE US THE STATISTICS AND THE NUMBERS THAT WE NEEDED BEFORE WE CAN MAKE ANY PLANS. WHAT I'M SAYING IS WE'VE ALL TALKED ABOUT IT.

WE'VE ALL TALKED ABOUT IT. IT'S GONE AROUND 50 MILLION TIMES. WHAT I'M ASKING AS AN ADMINISTRATION, HAVE YOU GUYS DECIDED IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO THAT IN 2022 OR WAIT FOR 2023.

>> IN 2022, WE NEED TO LOOK AT SEVERAL THINGS. FISHERS

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. >> YES.

>> OUR, WHAT WE CALL -- >> HEDGE.

>> HEDGE. BUT WHAT'S THE WORD WE USE? I'M SORRY, IT'S LATE. WHEN KIDS GO FROM ONE TO -- FEEDER PATTERN. WE NEED TO LOOK AT OUR HEDGE. WE NEED TO LOOK AT OUR FEEDER PATTERN. WE NEED TO LOOK AT FISHERS. THERE ARE SEVERAL THINGS. AND YES, WE'RE DOING ALL

THAT. >> WE NEED TO GET GOING ON THIS.

IF THAT HELPS. >> OKAY. I'M GOING --

>> BUT IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IF WE START SOMETHING NEXT YEAR, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE IMPLEMENTED NEXT YEAR. IT'S GOING TO BE IMPLEMENTED SEVERAL YEARS DOWN ON THE ROAD.

[03:06:55]

[03:06:58]

>> CAN WE LOOK REAL QUICK AT THE ENROLLMENT DIFFERENCE OF D 1 AND D FOR SOUTHEASTON ELEMENTARY? SO FOR D DOESN'T CHANGE AT ALL, RIGHT? THAT WILL STILL BETWEEN D AND D1

STILL DELINEATES THE SAME AMOUNT FOR NORTHEASTERN >> CORRECT.

ONLY TWO THAT WILL BE AFFECTED ONLY CHANGE IT TO THE, QUOTE-UNQUOTE, "D1 IS MOVING

SOME KIDS FROM HARRISON TO SAND CREEK BUT NOT —- >> CORRECT PIECE BUT THE OTHER QUICKLY DEER CREEK AND SOUTHEASTERN AND FORBES STAYED THE SAME?

>> CORRECT >> HERE TALK ABOUT BETWEEN D AND D1 OR C AND D?

>>> MARK I GOT C DOWN PRETTY WELL? I WAS JUST TRYING TO FIND OUT I REMEMBERED THE COMMENTARY WHY WE DID D WANT AND THAT IS WHY WE TOOK THIS LITTLE HOOK, I THINK, OUT OF D1 I DIDN'T HAVE —- OR OUT OF D CORRECT? WE WERE TAKING THIS LITTLE HOOK OUT OF D THAT'S WHY WE DID D1, RIGHT?

AND WE MOVE THEM DOWN >> CAN ASK A QUESTION I HAVE BEEN ASKED A MILLION TIMES AND I APOLOGIZE IS VERY LATE, AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE NUMBER OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD JUST TELL ME: DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT OUR PROJECTED ENROLLMENT WAS AT SOUTHEASTERN? AND WE OPEN? PLEASE I KNOW IT WAS LIKE AN ADDITIONAL —-

>> HOW DOES D1, DOES IT HELP DEER CREEK AND ALL GITMO STUDENTS?

>>> NO. >> DOESN'T CHANGE ANYTHING FOR THEM IN THE NEIGHBORS YOU'RE

TALKING ABOUT, CORRECT? >>> NO, THE ONLY THING THAT D1 CHANGES IS IT SENDS MORE KIDS TO SAND CREEK BE OKAY. WHICH MEANS THEY GET THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING A THIRD TITLE I, NONE OF THOSE KIDS CAME FROM DURBAN IT IN EFFECT DURBAN.

DIFFERENT ALWAYS GO TO DEER CREEK >> SO THAT DOESN'T AFFECT AT ALL

FROM D1. >> RIGHT. >> IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE HOPING

[03:10:05]

YOUR POINT KIDS FROM HARRISON MULTILEVEL >> JUST FOR PURPOSES OF DISCUSSION, I WOULD MOVE TO APPROVE THE REDEFINING BOUNDARY LINES WITH PLAN D PIECE WITH D?

>> YOU MADE A MOTION? >>> I'LL SECOND PETER JUST SO THERE IS SOMETHING ON THE TABLE.

I MEAN, THAT WAY PLEASE NOTE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT, AND THERE IS SOMETHING ON THE TABLE

JULIE MADE A MOTION FOR D. SARAH SECOND THE MOTION >> DISCUSSION.

AND EMOTIONS ARE QUESTIONS PLEASE WE CAN DISCUSS OR AMEND OR WHATEVER WITH SO MANY THINGS ON THE TABLE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE EASIER IF WE HAD SOMETHING

>> ANY DISCUSSION? >>> THE BIGGEST CONCERN WAS THAT ONE IS THE NUMBERS, RIGHT?

>>> I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF CONCERN ON, I MEAN, FOR DIFFERENT REASONS THAT I THINK FRANKLY YOU TALKED ABOUT UGLY ACKNOWLEDGING AND YOU GUYS ARE PROBABLY TIRED HE IS TALKING ABOUT IT DON'T WORRY, WE ARE TIRED OF HEARING OURSELVES TALK ABOUT IT AS WELL IT IS, YES, NUMBER ONE IS CAPACITY.

DENAPLES DEER CREEK AT 80 PERCENT, IT IS CONCERNING FOR US BECAUSE OF THE HISTORY OF

WHAT HAPPENED SOUTHEASTERN PICKUP THAT'S ONE OF THEM. >>> THE OTHER CONCERN, I THINK THE REASON WE TRIED TO LIMIT IT WOULD LIMIT THE IMPACT, IS THIS MAKES IT MORE LIKELY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET MOVED AGAIN WITH THE SAME PEOPLE THAT ARE GETTING MOVED NOW I AM NOT SAYING THIS GOING TO BE DERIPASKA I'M NOT SAYING IS GOING TO BE —- I DON'T KNOW THAT WAS WHY WE TRIED TO LIMIT THE SCOPE MICRO THOSE ARE THE CONSIDERATIONS THAT WE HAVE. YOUR CONSIDERATIONS AS A BOARD ARE NOT NECESSARILY THE SAME.

SO THOSE WE ARE HERE TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THAT DATA AS BEST WE CAN, AND ULTIMATELY WE ARE GOING

TO MOVE AND MAKE WORK BUT NEED TO MAKE WORK. >> CAN I ASK A QUESTION WITH THAT THEN TOO? BECAUSE I'M LOOKING AT WITH ALSO PRAY FOR THREE YEARS PAST, NOT THE SECOND GRADE, SO THAT PERSON IS MOVED, RIGHT THE ONES THAT ARE MOST LIKELY EFFECT IS LIKELY OUR KINDERGARTNERS COMING IN BY THAT POINT IF WE DID THREE YEARS, ISN'T IT CUSTOMARY FROM ALL THESE THAT WERE TRADITIONALLY —- I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE POLITICALLY HISTORICALLY THAT WE GRANDFATHER THOSE THE GRADES THAT THEY CAN GO TO FOURTH-GRADER STATE THAT SCHOOL. DOES THAT TYPICALLY HAPPEN?

>>> GENERALLY I DON'T KNOW WE CAN SIT HERE AND GUARANTEE THAT.

NO, NO, THAT IS NOT WHAT I AM SAYING BUT AS OUR COMMUNITY IS LISTENING RIGHT NOW, AND THESE CHANGES ARE HAPPENING TO AND THEY ARE SAYING, HOLY COW WE ARE CHANGING AND WE ARE GOING TO REDISTRICT IN THREE YEARS, MOST LIKELY THE MAJORITY OF THOSE FAMILIES WILL NOT —- THAT'S OBVIOUSLY HAVING YOUNGER SIBLINGS, I GET THAT —- BUT THIS THREE YEAR PLAN, QUOTE, POSSIBLY WILL CHANGE AND WILL PAY A DRASTIC IS WHAT I AM TRYING TO POINT OUT TO PEOPLE IT IS A CHANGE. PAYMENTS WILL CHANGE, NEIGHBORHOODS WILL CHANGE, IT WILL CHANGE. BUT UNDERSTAND OUR KIDS ARE GROWING TOO, THAT SOME OF THOSE KIDS ARE GOING TO COME RIGHT OUT SO IT WON'T HIT THEM AND SOME OF THOSE KINDERGARTNERS THAT HAVE SPENT TIME AT THE SCHOOL GOT THAT WHATEVER CHANCE OF BEING GRANDFATHERED INTO STAY

AT THE ELEMENTARY THEY ARE AT THAT IS WHY I —- >> POTENTIALLY I THINK OUR GOAL IN THE LONG TERM IS TO MOVE AWAY FROM THIS CONCEPT OF EVERY TWO YEARS WERE HAVING THIS DISCUSSION, RIGHT. WE DON'T WANT —- I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF REASONS THAT HAD TO HAPPEN, RIGHT THE GROWTH WAS DIFFERENT. ARE WE —- I THINK THERE WAS A PLAN, AND THEN FRANKLY THE IMPACT THE PANDEMIC HAS HAD ON THE MARKET HAS —- THIS BEEN AN IMPECCABLE COMPLETES ON THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE OUT OF WORK TOWARD ACHIEVING NEW-HOME SALES.

I MEAN, THEIR NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION, I SHOULD SAY SO WE KNOW THERE'S A PLAN I CAUTION ANYONE TO LIKE THAT THREE YEARS IS ABSURD BECAUSE THIS IS SO MULTIFACETED, IS NOT JUST THAT THE HEDGE WE NEED A INTERMEDIAT THIS IS A HUGE DEAL AND WHAT DR. STUNZ HAS TASKED THIS WITH IS NOT WHAT WE WANT TO DO EVERY TWO YEARS BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO DISRUPT FAMILIES. WE WANT TO AVOID THAT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE NOT JUST KNOW

NOT SEEING YOU ARE NOT LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE AS WELL. >> 100 PERCENT

>> I HAVE THE INFORMATION FOR MISSES CHAMBERS HAD ASKED I BELIEVE FROM OUR NOTES WE HAD 580 AS OUR PROJECTED, OR THAT WAS OUR GOAL, AND WE OPENED AT JUST OVER 700 THAT FIRST YEAR.

[03:15:01]

AND THE SECTIONS WERE LARGELY AT KINDERGARTEN AND FIRST GRADE >> SO THAT MEANS THAT THEY

PROJECTED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE —- >> WE PROJECTED TO BE OPEN UNDER

100 PERCENT >> AT ABOUT 5-SOMETHING. AND YOU ARE SAYING THAT IT

ACTUALLY OPENED IT AND IT WAS SUMMER, SOMETHING. >> DEMOGRAPHIC STUDY WAS USED,

THAT'S PART OF THE PROBLEM 675. >> WHAT'S THE CAPACITY AND

SOUTHEASTERN? >>> CHAPTER IS MISSING 75? >>> ACCORDING TO THIS, IT SAYS 675 BUILDING COMPATIBLE CAPACITY. DOES THAT INCLUDE PORTABLES?

>> IS NOT THE ACTUAL BUILDING CAPACITY IS 675 >> WITH PLAN D WHAT PERCENTAGE

WILL THAT HAVE? >>> IS PROJECTED AT -- >> EIGHTY-EIGHT PETER OUELLETTE

AT 80 PERCENT. OPEN AT 80 PERCENT >> WITH PLAN D?

>>> YES. >> SO IT WOULD BE 66, AND THAT LEAVES ABOUT 100 LEFT, OKAY THANK YOU. IS A THINK WE HAVE AS BEST IN NUMBERS WE CAN HAVE GIVEN THE CLIMATE WE ARE IN. I AM JUST BEING HONEST I MEAN, YOU GUYS WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW THE EARLIER AND WANTED ME TO GET VERY POLITICALLY INFLUENCED

>> WHAT DID YOU SAY? >> WHAT OFFICE ARE YOU RUNNING FOR?

>> HA, HA. >> WELL, I DON'T THINK ANY DEMOGRAPHER WOULD HAVE SAID YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE 120 STUDENTS MOVE IN K1. THAT'S JUST UNHEARD OF SO WE DON'T KNOW I MEAN, OUR 1920 THE GRAPHIC STUDY IS GOING TO BE COMPLETELY DERAILED, AS HAS EVERYONE'S ON THE PANDEMIC. THAT'S A FACT.

SO SCHOOL YEAR 1920 COMPLETED RIGHT BEFORE THE PANDEMIC. >> 2019, 2020

>> ALL RIGHT, COMMENTS, WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR FOR SECOND D ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? THESE ARE THE KIDS ARE GOING TO STILL GET TO GO TO A GREAT HSC SCHOOL PIECES THAT IS ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN. AS WITH ANY PREDEFINED BOUNDARY LINES, I HAVE LIVED THROUGH A NUMBER OF CHANGE IN ELEMENTARY, AND THEY NOT ONLY —- THEY NOT ONLY SURVIVE, THEY FIND PEACE IN A BELIEVE WE WILL PROBABLY DO THE SAME THING WE'VE DONE, WITH

LIKE CELEBRATIONS. >> SP THE KIDS ARE MOVING TO A NEW SCHOOL, YOU CAN GO VISIT.

>> YES. >> GET PENCILS WITH NAMES ON IT, ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.

>> ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS, IF NOT I'LL DO WE COUNT THE VOTE A SECOND CONNECTION.

>> [INDISCERNIBLE] [INDISCERNIBLE] ALL RIGHT, JULIE, CALLED ABOUT

>> SIR.

MOTION PASSES SIX TO 1 WITH MAPS AND AERIAL D FOR ADJUSTMENT OF BOUNDARY LINES ÚALL RIGHT, THANK YOU, VERY MUC, LADIES AS THANK YOU, AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO HAS WORKED VERY HARD ON IT, WHICH I KNOW ENTAILS AN AWFUL LOT OF FOLKS.

>>> SUPERINTENDENTS REPORTS, MINUTES OF CORPORATION INTEREST >> SO IN AN EFFORT TO —- THIS AFTER 10:00 O'CLOCK, SO IN AN EFFORT TO GET MYSELF BACK, I MAKE A LOT OF COUPLE THINGS.

I THINK THAT SINCE A REDHEAD SOME CONVERSATION ABOUT THE MASK, I THINK I AM GOING TO THAT OUT WE WERE GOING TO SHOW THAT EARLY BUT I THINK WE TALKED A BIT ABOUT THAT SO I WILL CUT THAT OUT I WANT TO HAVE SOME INFORMATION SHARED BRIEFLY FROM RYAN TAYLOR.

THIS IS ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA THREATS. I NEED TO GO ON RECORD LETTING OUR COMMUNITY LETTING OUR PARENTS, AND ESPECIALLY OUR CHILDREN NO, WE TAKE SOCIAL THREATS SERIOUSLY HE JUST SIMPLY CANNOT MAKE THEM. ARE POLICE OFFICERS ARE IN THE BACK. I SEE HEAD NODDING. PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIOUS, WE INVESTIGATE. RYAN, CAN YOU JUST TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT, PLEASE YEAH, I GUESS IS NOT NECESSARILY A RECENT PHENOMENON, WE HAVE SEEN OVER RECENT YEARS AND SOCIAL MEDIA CONTRIBUTES TO THIS USUALLY BROOK HAMILTON SOUTHEASTON IS

AND SO NEXT WEEK, CHIEF, PART OF THE CITY, THE CITY OF FISHER WILL BE HAVING A TOWN HALL, KIMBERLY, MYSELF AND BROOKE LAWSON WILL BE CONTRIBUTING TO THAT AS WELL, JUST TO GIVE SOME INSIGHT INTO HOW WE HANDLE SCHOOL THREATS. BECAUSE I DO THINK, YOU KNOW, WE SEND OUT COMMUNICATIONS, WE ARE TRYING TO GIVE THE PUBLIC A HEADS UP WE ARE LETTING THEM KNOW, AGAIN, AS MARK DEXTER TINNIN SAID, EVERY SINGLE ONE IS VETTED AS THOROUGHLY AS WE POSSIBLY CAN.

AND IF WE DIDN'T THINK IT WAS SAID TO BE IN THE BUILDING, NONE OF US WOULD BE THERE AND SO WHEN WE HAVE SCHOOL, IT'S BECAUSE WE DEEM IT TO BE SAFE. WE NOT GOING TO TAKE RISKS WITH OUR KIDS LIVES AND THEIR STAFFS LIVES AT ANY RATE, OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN MORE IS GOING TO BE NEXT THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16TH, FROM 8:00 P.M. TO 9:00 P.M.

THIS GOING TO BE ON ZOOM AND THERE WILL BE MORE INFORMATION SETUP FROM THE SCHOOLS AND FROM THE CITY ABOUT MORE COMMISSION ON HOW YOU CAN CONNECT IT WITH THAT PEACE AND WILL THAT BE

VIDEOTAPED SO PARENTS CAN WATCH IT AT A LATER TIME, DO YOU KNOW? >> I CAN'T ANSWER THAT, I DON'T KNOW BUT IF IT IS ON ZOOM ANYONE WHO IS WATCHING WILL BE ABLE TO
