[5. Information]
[00:21:06]
. >>> AND THAT IS IT FOR THE CONSENT AGENDA, SO WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO INFORMATION ITEMS,
GOOD EVENING. I WAS ASKED TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON CUSTODIAL SERVICES. THIS WAS A CHALLENGING SUMMER FOR OUR CUSTODIANS AND CLEANING THE SCHOOLS.
WE HAD ONE BUILDING BEING CONSTRUCTED, THREE BUILDINGS UNDER MAJOR RENOVATION, THREE SCHOOLS HOSTING SUMMER CAMPS, SIX SCHOOLS WITH CURRICULUM AND DISTRICT RELATED ACTIVITIES AND TWO SCHOOLS WITH MINOR RENOVATIONINGS.
DURING THAT TIME WE WERE ALSO TRANSITIONING CLEANING COMPANIES. THAT BEING SAID THEY'VE STILL DONE A GREAT JOB. I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE YOU A QUICK UPDATE ON THE NEW CUSTODIAL SERVICE COMPANY, SSC, AS YOU RECALL THEY WERE APPROVED TO TAKE OVER THE CONTRACT ON JUNE 8 AND THEIR CONTRACT RUNS FROM JULY 1 OF 2022 THROUGH 6'30" OF 23. THE EXISTING CLEANING COMPANIES HAVE CONTRACTS THROUGH JULY THIRTY-ONE, SO THERE WAS ONE MONTH TRANSITION OVERLAP PERIOD. SURGEONS GENERALFC ASSUMED CLEANING RESPONSIBILITIES AT ALL OF OUR BUILDINGS DURING THE MONTH OF JULY. EXISTING EMPLOYEES MOVED TO OTHER BUILDINGS AS SF CSAP CAME IN.
ALL BUILDINGS WILL BE STAFFED WITH THE EMPLOYEES COINCIDING WITH THE END OF THE OH CONTRACTS.
WE HAVE 89 OF 103 POSITIONS FILLED AND MANAGERS HAVE WORKING OPEN POSITIONS UNTIL THOSE ARE FILLED.
THE FSC TRANSITION TEAM HAS SEVEN MANAGERS HERE IN THE DISTRICT AND MORE AVAILABLE AS NEEDED, F. THEY ARE ALSO IN THE PROCESS OF HIRING THE AREA DIRECTOR AND TWO UNIT DIRECTORS.
THEY HAVE 12 INTERVIEWED SCHEDULED FOR THIS WEEK AND WILL CONTINUE INTERVIEWING UNTIL ALL POSITIONS ARE FILLED.
THEY ARE EXPERIENCING THE PREDICTABLE CHANNELS OF STAFFING IN FISHERS WITH NO MASS TRANSIT TO THE AREA AND MORE JOBS AVAILABLE THAN JOB SEEKERS. THEY CONTINUE TO IT IS ON 100 JOB SITES SUCH AS IN DEED, LINKEDIN AND FACEBOOK, ATTENDING JOB FAIRS AND CONDUCTING ON THE SPOT INTERVIEWS AS POSSIBLE.
WITH THE LIMITED TRANSITION TIME AND SOME OF THE SCHOOLS BEING FURTHER ALONG IN THEIR SUMMER CLEANING THEY HAVE BEEN FOUNDATIONING THEIR EFFORTS IN THE SCHOOLS THAT NEED MORE ASSISTANCE AND ALSO SENTS WEEKEND COLLYING CREWS.
NEW EMPLOYEES HAVE FORMAL ORIENTATION INCLUDING SAFETY AND POLICY TRAINING AND ARE PAIRED UP WITH EXISTING EMPLOYEES OR A MANAGER TO WALK THROUGH THEIR NEW SCHOOL.
AND HEAD CUSTODIANS ARE INVOLVED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO ESTABLISH A GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP. THAT'S MY SUMMARY.
QUESTIONS? >> ANY QUESTIONS? SOUNDS LIKE THINGS ARE GOING WELL.
>> THEY ARE -- >> TRANSITIONING.
>> WE'RE OPTIMISTIC. >> TRANSITION IS ALWAYS HARD.
>> YES, SUMMER IS DIFFICULT. THE ADDITIONAL ALL -- EVERYTHING GOING ON IN ALL OF THE BUILDINGS, BUT --
>> WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE AND GIVING US THAT UPDATE.
[00:25:06]
>> QUICK QUESTION, DID MANY OF THE EMS EMPLOYEES MOVE OVER WITH
SFC? >> I WOULD SAY A LITTLE LESS THAN 50 PERCENT DID. WE HAD MORE OF THE ABCM
EMPLOYEES TRANSITION. >> SO I FORGOT WE HAD TWO DIFFERENT CONTRACTS SO BASICALLY THEY'RE KEEPING THE JOB THEY'RE JUST WORKING FOR A DIFFERENT COMPANY, A LOT OF THEM ARE.
MORE THAN 50 PERCENT YOU THINK? >> YES.
>> THAT'S GREAT. >> THANK YOU.
>> MOVING ON WE HAVE MIGHT BE HEARING ON 5.02.
AND I WILL TEMPORARILY RECESS OUR GENERAL MEETING AND OPEN THE MEETING ON TEACHER COMPENSATION AS REQUIRED BY THE INDIANA CODE.
IN ORDER FOR OFFICIAL BARGAINING TO BEGIN.
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU NEED TO ADD?
YES, PLEASE. >> SO THIS IS ONE PART OF SEVERAL LEGAL PROS WE GO THROUGH DURING PARRING THAT WE'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE BEFORE WE CAN TECHNICALLY BARGAIN OFFICIALLY, WE CAN PRE-BARGAIN BEFORE WE GET THROUGH THIS PROCESS BUT THE NECESSITY OF THIS IS TO ALLOW TOE TAKE PUBLIC TESTIMONY ON TEACH FER COMPENSATION, SO THERE ARE SOME THINGS FROM MY PERSPECTIVE THAT I BANDED TO SHARE WITH THE BOARD AND COMMUNITY AT LARGE. FOR TELL US BARGAINING IN A YEAR THAT IS WE KNOW THE BULLET FROM THE STATE BUT OBVIOUSLY, STARTING JANUARY THEY WILL BEGIN FOR THE BY ENYUM AND WHAT IS PARTICULARLY ALARMING FOR US RIGHT NOW FOR ME IS AS WE'VE SEEP GRANTS COME IN, ALLOCATIONS ARE LOWER, SO FOR EXAMPLE, WE HAVE 100 MORE INSTITUTES THAT QUALIFIED FOR E AND L SERVICES AND WE HAVE NO ADDITIONAL FUNDING BECAUSE WE'RE GETTING LESS MONEY FOR STUDENT BECAUSE THE BUDGET ALLOCATION 1 SUFFICIENT TO COVER 4,000 ADDITIONAL KIDS.
WE'VE SEEN REDUCTIONS FOR HIREABLETY, LITTLE UNSURE WHY THAT MIGHT BE BECAUSE THE FORMULAS ARE ALL A LITTLE DIFFERENT DEPENDING ON WHAT IT IS.
WE'VE SEEN SIMILAR THINGS IN SOME TITLE THREE GRANTS THAT ALSO SUPPORTS OUR N ERICSP BUT THE BIGGEST ONE PUB WOULD BE ACCESS COSTS FOR OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENT AND THE DISTRICT WILL IN CUR ADDITIONAL EXPENSES, AND I SAY THAT BECAUSE THOSE COSTS STILL HAVE TO BE PICKED UP, WE STILL HAVE TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS AND WE SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS WITH YOU ARE TEACHERS AND WHEN WE HAVE TO TAKE MORE FUNDS TO SUPPORT THINGS THEY HAVEN'T IF YOU WANTED IT LEAVES US LESS MONEY AT THE BARGAINING TABLE, SO IN MICHIGAN THIS YEAR THEY INCREASED THEIR BASE TUITION SUPPORT TO OVER $9,000, IN OUR DISTRICT IF WE HAD FUNDING LIKE THAT WE WOULD HAVE AN ADDITIONAL 62 MILLION DOLLARS AS A CORPORATION.
SO I SAY IS THAT FOR YOUR BENEFIT.
WE'RE CERTAINLY BARGAINING AND WE HAVE A ROUNDED TEAM OF DOCTOR STOKES AND HER EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP TALE AS WELL AS PLEASE MADISON, ABBY WILL SPEAK TO HER TEAM AND WE'RE DOING AN INTEREST BASED PROCESS SO WE CAN BE COLLABORATIVE WITH THIS PROCESS SO WE HAVE THE BEST FOR OUR STAFF SWELL OUR CORPORATION.
>> AM I ALLOWED TO ASK A QUESTION?
>> SURE. >> I WORKED REALLY HARD THIS YEAR TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL VOICES ACROSS THE DISTRICT WERE HEARD SO I HAVE TWO HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS, ONE OF THEM BEING A FORMER COACH THAT'S GOING TO HELP ME WITH THE ECA.
I HAVE SPECIAL ED INVOLVED. I HAVE ELEMENTARY, OBVIOUSLY, PRESCHOOL. AND JUNIOR HIGH.
SORRY. I HAD TO LOOK -- SORRY, CRAIG, SO WE HAVE A REALLY WELL ROUNDED TEAM AND THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE HAPPENED SO THAT ALL THE TEACHER SO IS VOICES WERE HEARD THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT, SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED TO SEE WHAT WE CAN FIND IN OUR INTERESTS.
>> BEFORE WE TAKE QUESTIONS WE HAVE TO OPEN IT UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT, SO I WOULD ASK IF THERE'S ANYBODY FROM THE PUBLIC THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK THIS MATTER.
SEEING THEN THEN I WILL CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENT.
>> KATIE YOU MADE REFERENCE TO MICHIGAN, WHERE DOES MICHIGAN
[00:30:02]
FALL IF YOU KNOW AND WHERE DOES AARP FALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY S.MICHIGAN CONSIDERED ONE OF THE HIGHEST ONES GETTING FUNDS OR DO
YOU HAVE AN IDEA? >> I WOULD HAVE TO LOOK TO COMPARE IT STATE BY STATE, I'M LOOKING AT THE BASIC TUITION IS CLOSE TO $3,000 I THINK IS THE DIFFERENCE PER STUDENT.
SO I HAVE TO LOOK AT THE STATE FUNDING ALLOCATION BUT THEY'RE THE MOST PATROL PROXIMATE. ILLINOIS GENERALLY LEADS AND IT VARY ASKS YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THERE ARE THE DIFFERENT WAYS THAT THEY SUPPORT BEYOND THAT BUT TO HAVE A BASE SUPPORT AT THAT LEVEL IS ■SIGNIFICANT,AND IT'S MID WESTERN, AND I'M NOT SAYING WE NEED 62 ADDITIONAL MILLION DOLLARS BUT THEIR LEGISLATURE MADE THAT A PRIORITY AND FOR US THERE IS A NECESSITY TO HAVE ADDITIONAL FUNDS IF WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE
COMPETITIVE. >> THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TOO GET AN IDEA OF BECAUSE YOU SAID IT'S THE BASS AND I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS SOMETHING YOU PROVIDE OR IF PUBLIC INFORMATION I GO LOOK IT UP OR -- IS THERE A WAY TO GET A CHART OR SEE WHAT THAT
IS ACROSS THE COUNTRY? >> I MAY BE IN THE TEACHER [INDISCERNIBLE] THAT THE GOVERNOR'S CAB CAB GNAT DID A
COUPLE YEARS AGO. >> AND I LOOK AT THAT AND WE ARE THE THIRD LOWEST FUNDED PER PUPIL IN THE STATE, BUT QUESTION ABOUT THE GRANT THAT IS YOU REFERRED TO, ARE THOSE STATE GRANTS OR FEDERAL GRANTS OR BOTH?
>> BOTH. ONE IS NOT TECHNICALLY A GRANT, LIKE I DON'T HAVE TO PUT IT ON OUR FEDERAL SCHEDULE AND I REPORT IT ONCE AND GOT A NAUGHTY ON MY AUDIT BUT IT VARIES.
THE ACCESS COST IS IF YOU IF YOD THROUGH THE STATE BUT TITLE THREE ENL I HAVE TO LOOK AT BUT IT'S A VARIATION.
>>> SO DID SOMETHING CHAIN WITH THE FUNDING FORMULA PER PUPIL THAT WE'RE GETTING SO MUCH LESS THAN E AND L?
>> WHAT IT WOULD APPEAR TO ME IS IT IS LOWER PER STUDENT BECAUSE THE BUDGET ALLOCATION WASN'T NOVEMBER TO SUSTAIN WHEN THEY HAD ADDITIONAL STUDENTS IN THE PROGRAM.
SO IT DROVE DOWN THE PER STUDENT AMOUNT, I THINK ON A LEVEL ONE SOMEWHERE AROUND 80 TO $100 I THINK ON LEVEL TWO IT WAS MAYBE 50 BUT IT AMOUNTED TO A HUNDRED MORE STUDENTS.
>> SO THEY SAID THIS IS HOW MUCH WE'RE ALLOCATING FOR EVERY STUDENT FOR E AND L, OH SORRY YOU HAD A HUNDRED MORE KIDS MOVE
IN TWO NEED SERVICES. >> BUT WE DID FINISH WITH A
$6.1 BILLION SURPLUS. >> SO WITH A I'M READING BETWEEN THE LINES YOU WOULD PROBABLY RECOMMEND WE CONTACT OUR LEGISLATORS AS THEY GO INTO THE NEXT SESSION AS FAR AS SCHOOL
FUNDING. >> THEY'RE PRETTY FOCUSED ON OTHER THINGS BUT MY GUESS WOULD BE THE SUPERINTENDENT ASSOCIATION, SCHOOL BOARD ASSOCIATION, THERE IS SCORINGS ALREADY OF ADJUSTMENTS FROM THE SURPLUS TO ACCOUNT FOR INFLATION AND OTHER THINGS. BUT YOU KNOW SOONER WOULD BE LOVELY FOR US BECAUSE THESE ARE COSTS IS THAT WON'T BE PUT OFF AND SO WHEN WE SETTLE DOWN TO BARRING THOSE ARE THINGS THAT ARE A FACTOR AND WITHOUT HAVING WHAT I KNOW WHAT THE NEXT BULLET IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE IT HAMSTRINGS US BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO A LOT OF MONEY ON THE TABLE OR WE COULD HAVE DOPE MORE BUT WHEN YOU HAVE THOSE UNKNOWNS --
>> SO IT IS BARGAINING KIND OF WITH BLINDLY NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH IS IN THE POT. NOT BLINDLY.
>> WE DON'T EXPECT LESS IF YOU WANTING, THAT IS WHAT I WOULD SAY FOR CERTAIN BUT WE DIDN'T ANTICIPATE REDUCTIONS IN GRANTS THAT WE STILL HAVE TO SUPPORT OUR STAFF AND STUDENTS SO NOW WE
NEED TO SUSTAIN THAT ELSEWHERE. >> GOT IT.
THANK YOU. >> OKAY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND I WILL CLOSE THAT PUBLIC MEETING AND REOPEN OUR ORIGINA MEETING.
[6. Action Items]
AND THAT LEADS US TO ACTION ITEMS 6.01, I'M SORRY I DON'T[00:35:01]
KNOW WHY I GAVELED THAT. THAT WAS NOT NECESSARY, STUDENT -- I'M NOT A JUDGE, I DON'T GET TO DO IT VERY OFTEN.STUDENT AND ADULT MEAL PRICES AND UPDATE.
IS THAT KATIE? THAT YOU AGAIN?
OKAY. >> SO I'M HERE TONIGHT FOR MS. OGDEN, BEFORE WE HIRED HER SHE HAD A COMMITMENT THIS EVENING SO WE THOUGHT I COULD HANDLE MEAL PRICES T.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION NORMALLY WE HAVE TO DO A PAID LUNCH EQUITY CALCULATION THAT IS REQUIRED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, THAT IS TO ENSURE OUR MEAL PRICES WERE MAKING ADEQUATE PROCESS TOWARD THE FEDERAL RATE OVERUSESMENT WHICH IS WELL OTHER $4 IF I RECALL CORRECTLY SO THIS YEAR THERE WAS A WAIVER ARREST THAT WAFER ALLOWED US TO MINIMIZE THOSE INCREASES, SO IN OUR CASE OF SCHOOL LUNCH FOR PRIMARY STUDENTINGS THE RATE IS THE SAME, $2.80, THE SECONDARY RATE IS INCREASING BY 5-CENTS WHICH IS TO COVER COST. THE STUDENT BREAKFAST IS INCREASING BY 15-CENTS FROM $1.25 TO A DOLLAR 40, THAT IS COMPETITIVE WITH AREA DISTRICTS AND ALSO COVERS COST AND THEN WE HAVE INCREASE OF 15-CENTS FOR THE ADULT BREAKFAST AND DIFFICULTY LUNCH. SO WE WILL ASK THAT YOU CONSIDER APPROVING THESE INCREASES FOR -- THESE LUNCH PRICES FOR THE 2022/
23 SCHOOL YEAR. >> I WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
>> MOTION TO APPROVE THE STUDENT AND ADULT MEAL PRICES AS
>> I HAVE A FIRST AND SECOND, ANY QUESTIONS? I WANT TO MEND IT, I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A MUCH LARGER INCREASE
SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. >>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
ALL RIGHT, JANET. >>> SUSAN THOMAS.
>> YES . . . >>> MOTION PASSES 7-0 AND WE HAVE MS. LIPPY WITH SIX SO I .02 POLICY ON SECOND READ.
>>> GOOD EVENING DR. EXTENSION AND BOARD, SO I PEREMPTORY TO YOU THIS CURRENT ROUND OF POLICIES FOR SECOND READER THEY ARE LISTED ON BOARD DOCKERS AND I THINK WITHOUT OPENING EACH ONE, JUST TO QUICKLY HIGHLIGHT, D -- I CAN'T READ THAT SO I NEED TO LOOK AT MY PAPER. D 04.00 WHICH IS FUNDING PROPOSALS GRAMS, SPECIAL PROJECTS WE HAD MINOR REVISIONS ENSURING THAT GOES THROUGH THE CFO FOR APPROVAL.
WE ALSO HAVE TEACHER APPRECIATION GRAMS, G 03.02.01, WE UPDATE THIS POLICY EACH YEAR. AND WE ADDED A MINOR REVISION AS DEFINED BY THE STATE AS TO HOW THEY DEFINE TEACHERS, OUR SEXUAL HARASSMENT POLICY, WE UPDATED THAT TO REFLECT OUR CEO JIMMY LAKE AS THE CONTACT PERSON. THERE WERE TWO POLICIES THAT HAD NO CHANGES BUT THEY WERE PRESENTED IN A BUNDLE SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO STILL HIGHLIGHT THOSE TWO, BOARD MEMBERTHICS, AND ALSO B 02.0 IT BOARD MEMBER CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
AND THEN IF YOU'LL RECALL WE HAD A LECH THEY'RE DISCUSSION BECAUSE WE WERE COMBINING SO MANY POLICY INTO ONE, SO WE HAVE B 01.00 WITH A NEW TITLE OF MEMBERSHIP AND WE HAVE COMBINED I BELIEVE EIGHT POLICIES INTO THIS SECTION.
>> I WAS GOING TO TELL YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT -- DENISE DID A GREAT JOB, THEY'RE CONNECTED FOR US SO BOARD MEMBERS IF YOU SEE THE FIRST PACKET SHE JUST WENT THROUGH, COMBINE THE ONES WE'RE COMBINING SO IT'S EASY TO READ SO THAT MIGHT BE HELPFUL AS MS. LIPPY GOES THROUGH THIS PROCESS.
SO I NOTICED THAT IT WAS DONE AND IT THE LOOK REALLY THIGHS
AND IT'S REALLY HELPFUL. >> AND THEN JUST THE FINAL POLICIES THAT WE HAVE COMBINED INTO ONE WITH A NEW TITLE BOARD GOVERNANCE AND OPERATIONS AND THIS IS B 02.00 AND WE HAVE COMBINED FIVE POLICIES IN THIS BUNDLE, SO I PRESENT THESE TWO
FOR A SECOND READ. >> [INDISCERNIBLE].
[00:40:08]
>> FIRST ONES HAVE MINOR REVISIONS.
>> THEN B 01 IT HAS THE FIRST PAGES THE PROPOSED -- LIKE THE CONTINUED POLICY AND THEN ALL THE OTHER ONES THAT ARE BEING CONSOLIDATED INTO IT BEHIND IT AND THEN THE SECOND PACK, THE B 02 HAS THE UPDATED POLICY WITH ALL THE ONES THAT ARE COMBINED
BEHIND THAT. >> LAST BOARD MEETING WE AMENDED ONE, I BELIEVE. SUZANNE, ABOUT PARENT
INVOLVEMENT, THAT ON HERE? >> WE RESCINDED THAT ONE.
WE TOOK IT OUT OF THE PACKET SO IT WASN'T BROUGHT BACK BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T MET IN POLICY COMMITTEE.
>> THANK YOU. >> AND JUST TO CLARIFY ONE MORE TIME, SO THIS HERE IS THE NEW -- AND THIS IS ALL THAT'S IN IT AND WHEN WE TOOK THESE ITEMS OUT WE PUT THE LAW TO INCLUDE THAT
LANGUAGE. >> CORRECT, SO ANYTHING THAT 1 LAID OUT AGAIN IS COVERED NO THOSE INDIANA COLD SECTIONS AND SOME OF THE OTHER ONES MAY BE REWORDED TO BE MORE FIRST TIME AND PRECISE IN HOW THEY WERE WORDED BUT YES THEY WERE ALL COMBINED IN THERE OR THEY'RE STATED IN INDIANA CODE.
>>> THIS SECTION -- THIS RIGHT HIRE ON POLICY, B TWO IN THE RED IT SAYS THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES WILL MEET AT LEAST ANNUALLY IN RETREAT? DOES THAT MEAN THAT --
>> IT'S ON THE LAST PAGE, SO IT'S -- WE'RE ADDING IT IN.
>> THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE THAT.
>> SO THEY WOULD HAVE MORE, JUST AT LEAST ONE.
>> CORRECT. >> I MOVE TO APPROVE THE FOLLOWING POLICIES ON THE SECOND READ AS PRESENTED.
>> WE WE HAVE A FIST AND A SECOND, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? I'LL ASK JANET TO CALL FOR THE VOTE.

>> IT'S JUST AN OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR FAMILIES TO CONNECT WITH MAYBE FOLKS THAT ARE AT THE BUILDINGS, MAYBE IT'S THE PRINCIPALS, OTHER STAFFER THAT VOLUNTEER TO BE THERE, JUST TRY TO ENERGIZE AND HAVE A FUN KICKOFF EVENT, AN OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR BUILDINGS TO -- MAYBE THERE ARE COMMITTEES OR THINGS THAT WE HAVE GO ON THROUGHOUT THE YEAR THAT MAY NORMALLY GO OUT IN THE NEWSLETTER AND ASKING IF PARENTS WOULD LIKE TO BE A PART OF THOSE AND THOSE GET MISSED THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TOSS IF THEM TO GET INVOLVED THIS THE SCHOOL TO SHARE IMPORTANT DATES, CALENDAR EVENTS FOR THOSE PARTICULAR BUILDINGS WHERE PARENTS SHOW UP AND HAVE OR GUARDIANS SHOW UP AND HAVE KIDS. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE FOOD TRUCKS, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MASCOTS AND I THINK BOTH HIGH SCHOOL BANDS ARE GOING TO BE THERE. IT'S JUST AN OPPORTUNITY AND THEN ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS FOR THOSE THAT ATTEND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A SURVEY, A QR CODE SURVEY THAT WE JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHO'S AT THE EVENT BUT THEN ALSO UNDERSTAND ARE THERE WAYS IN WHICH WE AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT CAN -- THAT PARENTS FEEL LIKE THEY WOULD LIKE US TO MAKE THEM KNOWN ABOUT CERTAIN EVENTS OR HOW THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET INVOLVED SO IT'S JUST AN OUTREACH EVENT FOR OUR SCHOOL AND OUR COMMUNITY TO COME TOT RIGHT BEFORE WE KICK IT OFF.
>> AND IT'S IT WILL BE HOSTED AT THE FISHERS AMPHITHEATER.
