[1. Meeting Opening]

[00:00:07]

>> CALLING THIS MEETING TO ORDER.

LET'S STAND FOR THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE PLEASE.

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLACK 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. >> THIS EVENING WE WOULD LIKE TO

[2. Snapshots of Success]

SCHOOL JUNIOR. >> I AM EXCITED TO INTRODUCE YOU TO BRENNA FRENCH. AND HER MOTHER E-MAILED ME AND ALL THE ADVOCACY ON FETAL ALCOHOL SYNDROME DISORDER.

BRENNA SPOKEN WITH STATE LAWMAKERS AND FEATURED IN NATIONAL PUBLICATIONS AND TRYING TO SPREAD THE WORD.

I THOUGHT HER STORY WAS SO VERY UNIQUE AND FIRST SNAPSHOT OF THE YEAR WITH THE NEW BOARD MEMBERS. WE TRY TO HIGHLIGHT DIFFERENT STUDENTS AND STAFF DOING AMAZING THINGS IN OUR BUILDINGS WHETHER IT IS ACADEMICS OR OTHER PERFORMANCE-BASED ACCOLADES.

WE REALLY LIKE TO PICK STUDENTS WHO MAY NOT ALWAYS BE FRONT AND CENTER. THEIR STORIES ARE KIND OF HIDDEN A LITTLE BIT AND BE ABLE TO PROMOTE THOSE AND BRENNA IS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE GREAT STORY THAT WE MAY NOT HAVE HEARD ABOUT UNTIL SOMEONE TELLS US ABOUT IT AND WE HIGHLIGHT IT.

A QUICK VIDEO OF BRENNA AND THEN LET BRENNA COME UP AND SHARE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HERSELF. HOPE THE VIDEO WILL PREEMPT THE INFORMATION AND THEN WE WILL PLAY THAT AND PRENNA, YOU CAN COME RIGHT BACK UP HERE. BRENNA FRENCH UNDERSTANDS SHE

DOES SOME THINGS DIFFERENTLY. >> I WAS VERY SICK WHEN I WAS

BORN. >> THIS PHOTO SHOWN BY BRENNA'S PARENTS. SHE AND HER THREE SIBLINGS.

SHE HAS FETAL ALCOHOL SPECTRUM DISORDER.

NOT UNTIL SEVERAL YEARS LATER, 12 TO BE EXACT THAT SHE GOT AN

OFFICIAL DIAGNOSIS. >> DOESN'T MAKE ME SAD THAT I HAVE IT, BUT MAKES ME PROUD OF WHO I AM.

>> 850 BABIES ARE GOVERN WITH FASD EACH YEAR.

>> I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW NOT TO DRINK WHILE PREGNANT.

>> BRENNA IS A JUNE I DON'T REMEMBER AT HAMILTON SOUTHEASTERN HIGH SCHOOL AND PASSIONATE OF RAISING AWARENESS OF FASD. OFTEN WEAR CLOTHING TO SPARK CONVERSATIONS WITH OTHER STUDENTS AND STAFF.

HER STORY IS ON THE CDC WEB SITE ON FETAL ALCOHOL SYNDROME DISORDER AND SPOKEN TO ORGANIZATIONS.

>> I LOVE TALKING ABOUT MY LIFE WITH FASD REPORT REVEALING THE

GOOD. >> AMAZING THING CALLED LIFE.

>>REPORTER: AND THE NOT SO GOOD. >> FOR EXAMPLE, IF PEOPLE DO MORE THAN ONE THING AT A TIME WERE I AM LIKE I CAN'T DO THAT, BECAUSE IT IS JUST TOO HARD FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND.

>>REPORTER: THROUGH HER DIAGNOSIS, BRENNA IS HELPING MANY OTHERS LEARN MORE, FIND ACCEPTANCE IN DIFFERENCES AND PROVING THAT YOU CAN WRITE YOUR OWN STORY.

[APPLAUSE] >> SORRY.

HELLO, MY NAME IS BRENNA. I AM 17 YEARS OLD AND A JUNIOR AT HAMILTON SOUTHEASTERN SCHOOLS.

TO THE REST OF THE WORLD I LOOK NORMAL, BUT WHAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW I HAVE FETAL ALCOHOL SPECTRUM DISORDER KNOWN AS FADD.

IT IS A DISORDER DUE TO A MOTHER DRINKING DURING THEIR PREGNANCY.

SOME EFFECTS OF DRINKING DURING PREGNANCY CAN LEAD TO PHYSICAL PROBLEMS, PROBLEMS WITH BEHAVIOR AND PROBLEMS LEARNING.

PERSONALLY, I HAVE EXPERIENCED THESE PROBLEMS IN MULTIPLE AREAS OF MY LIFE. I HAVE A DIFFICULT THING TO REMEMBER WHAT I ATE FOR LUNCH, MEMORIZING THINGS, TIME AND MONEY MANAGEMENT. AND A REALLY HARD TIME IN MATH CLASSES. I ALSO FIND THAT I STRUGGLE DURING TESTS AND BECOME EASILY OVERWHELMED IF GIVEN DIRECTIONS IN MULTIPLE STEPS VERSUS ONE AT A TIME.

I AM QUICK TO BE OVERWHELMED AND SOCIAL CUES CAN BE TRICKY TO COMPREHEND. WHILE I STRUGGLE WITH ALL OF THIS, I AM STILL A TEENAGER. SOME THINGS I REALLY ENJOY ARE

[00:05:01]

THEY HELP ME NAVIGATE THIS TRICKY THING CALLED LIFE.

ONE THING I WISH I COULD CHANGE OF PEOPLE UNDERSTANDING ME BETTER OF LEARNING MORE ABOUT FASD.

HOPEFULLY THIS WILL NOT BE MISDYING KNOW IS WITH HDHD OR AUTISM AND KNOW I AM DOING MY BEST.

I AM NOT A BAD KID. I AM JUST STRUGGLING AND I NEED A LITTLE EXTRA HELP AND PATIENCE.

ONE THING I WOULD LIKE FOR OUR SCHOOL TO RECOGNIZE FASD AWARENESS DAY ON SEPTEMBER 9, THE NINTH DAY OF THE NINTH MONTH TO REPRESENT NINE MONTHS OF PREGNANCY WHEN FASD CAN HAPPEN.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT FOR ME AND OTHERS WITH FASD IN OUR SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY.

>> BRENNA, I WANT TO SAY I ALONG WITH ALL OF US I AM VERY SURE ARE VERY PROUD OF YOU. YOU KNOW I AM A PHYSICIAN DURING THE DAY, SO, YOU KNOW, I SEE PEOPLE WITH ALL KINDS OF THE APPROXIMATE THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT.

SO TO SEE SOMEBODY STEP UP, TO TALK ABOUT IT AND MAKE PEOPLE AWARE IS REALLY ENCOURAGING. AND I AM SURE THAT YOU WILL REACH A LOT OF PEOPLE BY WHAT YOU DO AFTER HIGH SCHOOL.

AND I REALLY APPLAUD YOU FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE.

AND I WILL REMEMBER THAT 9/9 IS FASD AWARENESS DAY.

>> THANK YOU. >> YOU ARE WELCOME.

>> I AM JUST PROUD THAT YOU HAVE A VOICE.

THAT IS SO IMPORTANT. YOU KNOW, WE TALK ABOUT SUPPORTING STUDENTS, BUT OFTENTIMES, WE FORGET THAT STUDENTS HAVE A VOICE AND THEY CAN TELL US WHAT THEY NEED.

YOU KEEP ON ADVOCATING FOR YOURSELF AND OTHERS LIKE YOU BECAUSE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT AND I APPRECIATE YOU.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

>> I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO SHARE YOUR STORY.

>> I AM GLAD TO BE HERE. >> I LOVE THAT YOU ARE TAKING ACTION ON IT. THAT YOU ARE REALLY TRYING TO MAKE A CHANGE AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE WITH IT.

I THINK THE AWARENESS BUILDING IS ONE ASPECT OF IT.

AND TAKING ACTION AND INFLUENCING SOME SENATORS AS WELL HOW THEY CAN CREATE POLICY AROUND IT IS PRETTY COOL.

SO KUDOS TO YOU. FANTA

FANTASTIC. >> I JUST WANT TO SAY WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS VERY COMMENDABLE AND THANK YOU FOR BEING VULNERABLE AND SHARING YOUR STORY AND HELPING OTHERS LIKE OR NAVIGATE THE PATH YOU HAVE GONE THROUGH.

THANK YOU FOR THAT. >> YOU ARE WELCOME.

>> I, TOO, WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TODAY.

YOU SHOWED A LOT OF COURAGE BEING UP THERE AND YOUR STORY IS PRETTY AMAZING AND I TOO WILL REMEMBER SEPTEMBER 9, AT THE TIME WE CAN MOTION IT IN OUR CALENDAR AND SOMETHING FOR OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT, MIGHT BE SOMETHING NICE TO RECOGNIZE.

THANK YOU FOR STANDING UP HERE TODAY.

>> THANK YOU. >> I WILL ECHO EVERYBODY ELSE.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR STORY.

REALLY IMPORTANT, ESPECIALLY FOR ALL THOSE YOUNG MOMS OUT THERE TO BE AWARE AND KNOW WHAT COULD HAPPEN.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[3. Consent Agenda]

>> CONTINUING ON TO CONSENT AGENDA.

SUBJECT 3.01. >> MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT

AGENDA AS PRESENTED. >> IS THERE A SECOND?

>> SECOND. >> MOTION BY SUZANNE.

SECOND BY SARAH. TAKING A VOTE.

>>MEMBER ORR: YES. >>MEMBER DONSBACH: YES.

>>MEMBER LANG: YES. >>MEMBER ALBRIGHT: YES.

>>MEMBER PARKS-REESE: YES. >>MEMBER THOMAS: YES.

>>MEMBER PASCOE: YES. MOTION PASSES 7-0.

>>MEMBER LANG: MOVING TO SUBJECT ITEM 3.02, CERTIFIED AND SUPPORT

[00:10:04]

SO WE -- THERE ARE SOMETHING ON OUR CONSENT AGENDA THAT WE FELT LIKE WE COULDN'T PASS UP RIGHT NOW.

WE HAVE A STAFF MEMBER WHO HAS WORKED FOR US FOR A REALLY, REALLY LONG TIME. OUR DIRECTOR OF FACILITIES IS GIVEN US NOTICE THAT HE IS RETIRING ACTUALLY IN JUST A WEEK OR SO. SO WE JUST WANTED TO GO ON RECORD AND TELL YOU HOW WONDERFUL IT HAS BEEN WORKING WITH HIM FOR 22-PLUS YEARS, I BELIEVE.

SO THAT IS A LOT OF KNOWLEDGE. BUT HE HAS ASSURED US THAT HE WILL BE AROUND IF WE NEED ANY HE

HELP. >> FOR FREE.

[LAUGHTER] >>MEMBER LANG: SPOKEN LIKE A TRUE CFO. YES, WE TRULY APPRECIATE YOUR SERVICE. IT IS COMMENDABLE.

I KNOW YOU WERE INSTRUMENTAL WHEN MY OLDEST TWO WENT THROUGH THE DISTRICT AND APPRECIATE THE SERVICES HE HAS BROUGHT FORWARD.

[4. Public Comments]

SUBJECT 4.01. SO FOR THOSE MEMBERS WHO HAVE SIGNED UP FOR THE COMMUNITY, JUST A REMINDER THIS IS SOMETHING -- YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES WHEN YOU ARE CALLED TO COME UP AND SPEAK. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS. AND WE WILL START WITH MR. RAY

MAPPEDALON. >> IF YOU WILL HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT UNDER 6.03, I WILL HOLD MY COMMENTS UNTIL THEN.

>>MEMBER LANG: YES, WE WILL HOLD UNTIL THEN.

CHAD CARMICHAEL. >> GOOD EVENING.

I AM COMMENTING ON THE POLICY ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH INTERVENTIONS. AT THE LAST MEETING, MISS LIBBY TOLD THE BOARD THAT, QUOTE, WE DON'T PROVIDE MENTAL HEALTH INTERVENTION WITHOUT PARENTAL CONSENT.

AND DR. STOKES TOLD THE BOARD, WE CAN'T LEGALLY HAVE A CHILD TO SIGN UP FOR ANYTHING. THEY ARE UNDERAGE, FIRST OF ALL, WE NEED TO HAVE THEIR PARENTS' CONSENT AND SIGNATURES TO BE PART OF SERVICES THAT ARE CONSIDERED MENTAL HEALTH.

UNLESS THERE HAS BEEN A CHANGE IN PROCEDURE, THESE APPEAR TO BE FALSE STATEMENTS. LET ME EXPLAIN.

IN AUGUST 2021, STAFF HAD FALL CREEK JUNIOR HIGH WERE GIVEN A PRESENTATION OF THE SCHOOL WILL DEVELOP WHAT THEY CALL GENDER SUPPORT PLANS FOR TRANSSGENDER OR GENDER EXPANSIVE.

IN THIS PRESENTATION, STAFF WAS TOLD UNLESS PERMITTED BY THE GENDER SUPPORT PLAN, THEY WILL NOT REVEAL THE GENDER OF THE TRANSGENDER TO THE PARENT. STAFF WAS TOLD TO USE THE LEGAL NAME AND PRONOUNS WITH THE PARENTS WHILE USING THE NEW NAME AND PRONOUN WITH THE STUDENTS ON CAMPUS.

AND PLAN TO FACILITATE SOCIAL GENDER FOR STUDENTS AND KEEPING THE GENDER SECRET FROM THEIR STUDENTS' PARENTS.

I RECEIVED THE ACTUAL FORM TO DEVELOP THESE GENDER SUPPORT PLANS. THIS FORM EXPLICITLY STATES, WE CAN PROCEED WITH A PLAN WITHOUT PARENT CONSENT, END QUOTE.

AND WILL WORK OUT THE SOCIAL TRANSITION INCLUDING PLANS TO INSTRUCT OTHER STUDENTS TO COOPERATE WITH THE SOAKS TR TRANSITION. I HAVE BEEN ASKING DR. STOKES TO NO AVAIL. SHE HAS NOT ANSWERED MY QUESTIONS ABOUT IT AND THE DISTRICT HAS OBSTRUCTED MY EFFORTS TO GET THE FACT. THE CURRENT BOARD WAS ELECTED IN A LANDSIDE ELECTION TO STOP THIS SECRETIVE BEHAVIOR.

AND IMPORTANT FOR RESTORING TRUST FOR THE.PUBLIC THAT WE GET ANSWERS FROM BASIC QUESTIONS WHAT HAPPENED HERE.

HAS THE POLICY CHANGED? HAS THE PARENTS FROM ROOM HSE.

WHY HAS DR. STOKES REFUSED TO ANSWERS QUESTIONS SINCE JULY OF 2021. I RECOMMEND THAT THE BOARD APPOINT A SPECIAL COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER AND GET ANSWERS. I RECOMMEND PLACING A PARENT ON THE COMMITTEE SO THIS BOARD CAN TAKE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THOSE WHO PARTICIPATED IN THIS FRANKLY EVIL PLAN TO KEEP SECRETS FROM PARENTS OF THE MENTAL HEALTH OF THEIR OWN CHILDREN.

THANK YOU. >>MEMBER LANG: SO THIS IN THIS REGARD TO J 07.11. THIS IS IN RELATION TO OUR

[00:15:06]

[5. Information Items]

INVESTMENT PROGRAM. >> GOOD EVENING.

HOW IS EVERYBODY DOING. I AM A LITTLE SICK AND I WILL KEEP MY MASK ON AND KEEP MY GERMS TO MYSELF.

TONIGHT I HAVE THE PLEASURE TO ANNOUNCE THAT HAMILTON SOUTHEASTERN SCHOOLS HAS BEEN ACCEPTED INTO COHORT 11 FOR THE NOTRE DAME ADVANCED PLACEMENT TEACHER INVESTMENT PROGRAM.

THIS ALSO CALLED AP TIP. AND THIS IS -- YOU CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE -- SORRY. THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR TEACHERS TO GAIN ADDITIONAL TRAINING IN TEACHING AND INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES FOR AP INSTRUCTION IN THE AREAS OF MATH, SCIENCE AND ENGLISH COURSES.

SO ON THE POWERPOINT THERE, YOU SEE THAT THAT THAT INFORMATION IS LISTED. IT ALSO -- PART OF THE PROGRAM HELPS TO IMPROVE TEACHING AND LEARNING FOR ALL ADVANCED COURSES, AP COURSES IN THE CLASSROOM.

IT IS A THREE-YEAR PARTICIPATION.

IT STARTS NEXT SCHOOL YEAR. SCHOOL YEAR '23-'24 AND GO THROUGH '25-'26. AND THIS PROJECT IS FUNDED THROUGH PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE INDIANA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND WHOMEVER THE PROJECT FUNDER IS WORKING ALONGSIDE NOTRE DAME UNIVERSITY. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

SO THE PROGRAM INITIALLY HAS TWO.

AND THAT IS BASICALLY TO INCREASE ENROLLMENT IN AP ADVANCED COURSES IN MATH, SCIENCE AND ENGLISH.

THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF THE PROJECT AND TO SUPPORT INCREASING QUALIFYING SCORES ON THOSE K3578S SO STUDENTS ARE RANGES CLOSER TO THE THREE, FOUR AND FIVE-POINT SCORE THAT IS NEEDED TO GAIN THAT CREDIT FOR THOSE UNIVERSITIES THAT THEY TRANSITION TOO. THOSE ARE THE TWO GOALS OF THE PARTNERSHIP. ALSO THROUGH THIS TEACHER ALSO RECEIVE ADDITIONAL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND HAVE TIME WHERE THEY WILL SPEND THE SUMMER GETTING TRAINING IN A COHORT TYPE FASHION ON CAMPUS. I BELIEVE IT WILL BE AT IUPI THIS SUMMER AND THEY WILL HAVE TRAINING AND SUPPORT THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR AND WHILE THIS PROJECT CONTINUES.

NEXT SLIDE. AND THAT'S IT.

>> HOW ARE THE TEACHERS CHOSEN? ANYBODY WHO TEACHES AP?

>> YES, THE SCHOOL HAS APPLIED TO BE A PART OF THE PROGRAM.

THE UNIVERSITY THEN VETTED ALL OF THE APPLICATIONS AND DECIDED HOW MANY SCHOOLS THEY WOULD SELECT FOR COHORT 11.

THEY CAME TO THE SCHOOL AND HAD MEETING WITH THE TEACHER WHO TEACH THE AP COURSES AND DID A PRESENTATION.

AND TEACHERS INVOLVED IN THOSE AREAS WILL BE THE TARGET FOR THAT. THANK YOU.

FIGURE AND I CAN GET THAT TO YOU, BUT WE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF STUDENTS THAT ARE ENROLLED IN AP.

AND WE HAVE A LOT OF STUDENTS WHO ARE GAINING THAT -- THOSE SCORES, THE THREE, FOUR AND FIVE RANGE.

>> DO THE MAJORITY GETS THREES, FOURS AND FIVES?

>> I DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION BUT I CAN GET THAT TO YOU.

>>MEMBER ORR: THIS WILL ESSENTIALLY BE MORE PROFESSIONAL

DEVELOPMENT FOR THESE TEACHERS? >> YES.

>>MEMBER ORR: WILL THAT BE IN ADDITION TO THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT DAYS IN THE IT HE IS STRICT.

OUTSIDE OF THAT OR REPLACE -- >> TOTALLY OUTSIDE.

THIS IS A DIFFERENT PROJECT. IT IS FUNDED TOTALLY DIFFERENT.

THEY -- THE PROJECT DOES ALLOW FOR -- IF THE TRAINING IS MIDDLE EASTED DURING THE SCHOOL -- SCHOOL YEAR OR SCHOOL DAY, IT DOES PROVIDE FUNDING FOR A SUB FOR THOSE TEACHERS WHEN THEY GO

OUT. >>MEMBER ORR: I LOVE THAT.

[00:20:01]

>> YES. >>MEMBER ORR: FOCUSES ON MATH,

SCIENCE AND ENGLISH, GREAT. >> IS THERE A CAP WITHIN THAT PERIOD OF TIME OR CEILING OF HOW MANY STUDENTS CAN BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE OR BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY BASED ON THESE

SCORES? >> THIS IS MORE OF THE TEACHER DEVELOPMENT VERSUS STUDENT PARTICIPATION; HOWEVER, WE WANT TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS WHO WANT TO TAKE ADVANCED CLASSES AND THE COUNSELORS DO A GREAT JOB OF STEERING THOSE STUDENTS WHO ARE CAPABLE OF DOING THAT. SO I DO FORESEE WITH SOME OF THE STRATEGIES THAT THEY DISCUSSED WITH US DURING THEIR PRESENTATION THAT IT WILL INCREASE PARTICIPATION FOR SOME STUDENTS WHO MIGHT NOT HAVE THOUGHT THEY COULD HANDLE AN AP COURSE. AND I SEE THAT INCREASING PARTICIPATION PARTICIPATION.

>>MEMBER ORR: ONE MORE QUESTION. >> I WILL GO AFTER YOU.

>>MEMBER ORR: ONE MORE QUESTION. I KNOW DISCUSSION FROM TEACHERS I HAVE HEARD FROM WITH PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOCUSING LESS THAN CURRICULUM SPECIFIC THINGS AND MORE KIND OF GENERAL HOW TO TEACH, HOW TO GET ALONG, HOW TO PRESENT THINGS.

IS THERE -- DO WE KNOW IF THIS IS REALLY MORE DETAILED INTO

ACTUAL CURRICULUM CONTENT? >> CONTENT-SPECIFIC.

>>MEMBER ORR: FANTASTIC, GREAT. >> I WAS GOING TO SAY.

WHAT IS THE OUTCOME AFTER. WHEN THIS IS DONE -- THIS IS JUST GIVING OUR TEACHERS EXTRA TOOL WHEN THEY ARE TEACHING THE CLASSES OR SOMETHING THROUGH NOTRE DAME THAT THEY ARE

TEACHING. >> AN EXTRA TOOL FOR OUR TEACHERS TO SUPPORT THE STUDENTS.

>> THEY ARE LEARNING THE TIPS FROM IF THE NOTRE DAME PROGRAM.

>> CORRECT. SUPPORTED BY THE STANDARDS AND DOE. THIS IS THE 11TH KOR HORT.

HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A WHILE. SEVERAL SCHOOLS WITHIN OUR COUNTY AND OUR STATES HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THIS.

>> HAVE TEACHERS EXPRESSED A DESIRE FOR THIS TRAINING OR WILL THEY BE REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE OR ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS.

>> IT IS ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS. I CAN IF TELL THAT YOU WHEN I SAT ON THE TEACHERS' SESSION, THEY WERE VERY MUCH INTERESTED TO INCREASE THEIR SKILL SET TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT AND MAXIMIZE THEIR REACH WITH ALL OF THE STUD

STUDENTS. >> I DO JUST WANT TO SAY I HAVE TO CERTAINLY SUPPORT -- I HAVE TWO BOYS WHO ARE IN A LOT OF AP CLASSES AND I THINK THEY HAD GREAT TEACHERS.

CERTAINLY IF WE CAN HELP THOSE TEACHERS HONE THEIR SKILL SET, I

THINK THAT IS A GREAT THING. >> I SEE IT A WIN-WIN FOR OUR DISTRICT. A WIN-WIN FOR OUR TEACHERS.

THEY DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR TRAINING OUT OF THEIR POCKET.

THEY ARE GETTING DIRECT FEEDBACK FROM THE COLLEGE BOARD.

IT IS A WIN-WIN FOR OUR TEACHERS AND A WIN-WIN FOR OUR STUDENTS.

>>MEMBER LANG: THANK YOU. MOVING ITEM 5.02, THE YMCA ADDENDUM. MISS KATIE DOWLING.

>> GOOD EVENING. AS YOU KNOW THIS IS AN INFORMATION ITEM THAT WILL APPEAR AS AN ACTION ITEM AT YOUR MEETING IN FEBRUARY. THE DOCUMENT ATTACHED.

FIRST, THERE IS A PROPOSAL, ESSENTIALLY THE FIRST SESSION TALKS ABOUT -- JEFF, WILL YOU OPEN UP -- YES, THANK YOU.

THE FIRST SECTION TALKS ABOUT STAFF TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE YMCA OR THE Y CARE AND PROVIDES OUR CHILD CARE OR LATCHKEY AS IT IS REFERRED TO IN INDIANA CODE. THE FIRST SECTION SHOW YOU THE NUMBER OF STAFF THAT TAKE ADVANTAGE AND RECEIVE A 25% DISCOUNT PER OUR AGREEMENT WITH THE YMCA.

THE SECOND PIECE OF IT IS, SO, BACK IN 1718 -- WELL, GOING INTO '18-'19 SCHOOL YEAR, FIVE-YEAR EXTENSION OF THE YMCA AGREEMENT -- PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND YOU CAN SEE WE WERE SERVING ALMOST 2,000 STUDENTS AT THAT TIME.

THE TOTAL AMOUNT WAS $400,000. $200,000 PER SEMESTER.

SO AS YOU CAN SEE AS YOU GO DOWN GOING -- IF YOU LOOK -- I FEEL LIKE 2020, THE DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY.

I KNOW IT WASN'T. IT WAS PEARL HARBOR, BUT ANYWAY, WE SAW A DROP IN STUDENTS AND WE HAVE SEEN A CONTINUED DROP, SO IS THE YMCA HAS BEEN IN DISCUSSION WITH US.

THEY REQUESTED AN ADJUSTMENT ON THEIR SECOND SEMESTER PAYMENT WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO BE $200,000.

THEY ARE ASKING FOR THAT TO BE $100,000.

I THINK THAT REQUEST IS FAIR GIVEN THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS THEY ARE SERVING. WHEN YOU SEE THE COST PER STUDENT, THERE IS NOBODY THAT THEY ARE PARTNERED WITH THAT IS

[00:25:03]

NUMBER TWO, I THINK THEY -- THEY NEED THE FUNDS SO THEY CAN INVEST IN THEIR STAFF TO GET THEIR STAFF COMPENSATION UP TO THEN REBUILD THEIR PROGRAMMING SO WE DON'T HAVE WAIT LISTS.

SO WE DON'T HAVE PEOPLE WHO CAN'T GET THIS.

AND SO -- BUT THEY NEED THE REVENUE TO DO THAT AND WITHOUT SERVING THAT SMALL OF A NUMBER AND THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THEY ARE GIVING US, I FEEL THAT REQUEST TO BE REASONABLE.

THE YMCA DOES PROVIDE $3,000 PER -- IT IS ACTUALLY SIX.

$3,000 IN TWO DIFFERENT BUCKETS. WE ARE VERY CLEAR WE DID NOT WANT TO TAKE THAT MONEY AWAY FROM THE BUILDINGS, SO THIS WILL BE A DIRECT REVENUE REDUCTION TO THE OPERATIONS FUND.

BUT, AGAIN, JUST AN INFORMATION ITEM.

WE -- WE ARE IN FAVOR OF IT AS AN ADMINISTRATION.

NOBODY CERTAINLY WANTS TO CUT REVENUE BUT VERY FAIR CONSIDERING THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS AND IF WE WANT TO MOVE

FORWARD FROM HERE. >>MEMBER LANG: THANK YOU.

>> YOU ARE WELCOME. >>MEMBER LANG: ITEM 5.03, EXCESS FURNITURE. JANET LEMUR WILL TALK TO US

ABOUT THAT. >> HI, I AM JANET LEMUR, THE CUSTODIAL MANAGER FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND I HAVE BEEN ASKED TO PRESENT TO YOU THIS EVENING OF INFORMATION OF EXCESS FURNITURE IN THE DISTRICT. POLICY STATES THAT WHEN THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES THAT ANY REAL OR PERSONAL PROPERTY IS NO LONGER NEEDED FOR SCHOOL PURPOSES OR SHOULD IT IT BE EXCHANGED FOR OTHER PROPERTY AND MAY SELL OR EXCHANGE SUCH PROPERTY IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE LAW.

IN THE PAST WHEN THE DISTRICT HAS ACCUMULATED HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF SURPLUS CHAIRS, DESKS, CAFETERIA TABLES, PIANOS, PICTURES, SCOREBOARDS, TRACTORS, AND NACHO MACHINES, WE HAVE H HELD SURPLUS AUCTIONS. GENERALLY TAKE PLACE OVER THE SUMMER AT ONE OF OUR LARGER SCHOOLS.

THE LAST ONE JUNE 6, 2021 AT FALL CREEK MEADE AND ANOTHER TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED FOR JULY 15.

MOST OF THE SURPLUS ACCUMULATES DURING MAJOR RENOVATIONS TO THE SCHOOL. FOR INSTANCE, THE MOST RECENT RENOVATIONS OF FISHER JUNIOR HIGH AND FALL CREEK JUNIOR HIGH.

FURNITURE WAS PLACED WITH NEW LEAVING US WITH SURPLUS FURNITURE BEING STORED IN FOUR DIFFERENT LOCATIONS.

ONE THE FISHER JUNIOR HIGH AND FALL CREEK JUNIOR HIGH IS CLEARED OUT, FISCHER ELEMENTARY, FALL CREEK IMMEDIATE AND SOON SHE. HIGH SCHOOL WILL CREATE ANOTHER AUCTION OR ACTION. PREPARING FOR A SURPLUS GOOD AUCTION IS LABOR INTENSIVE FOR FACILITIES DEPARTMENT AND LIGHT MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT INVOLVING ANYWHERE FROM $2,000 TO $3,000 WORTH OF OVERTHAI TIME. THE MOST RECENT AUCTION INVOLVES SIX TRACTOR-TRAILER OF GOODS SCORED BY HOGAN TRANSPORT AND 15,395 WAS SPENT DELIVERING THESE TRAILERS.

THE LABOR TO UNLOAD THEM, THEN THE LABOR TO RELOAD AND TRANSPORT AND SURPLUS DISPOSAL. PROCEEDS FROM THE AUCTION AT HSE, $5908. INDIANA CODE STATES THAT PROPERTY CAN BE CONSIDERED WORTHLESS OF NO MARKET VALUE IF THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY IS LESS THAN THE ESTIMATED COST OF SALE AND TRANSPORTATION OF THE PROPERTY.

THIS WAS CERTAINLY THE CASE AT THE MOST RECENT AUCTION AND WILL CONTINUE BEING THE CASE JUST CONSIDERING STORAGE COSTS.

USING THIS CODE, THESE ITEMS COULD BE DEMOLISHED OR JUNKED.

TONIGHT IS FOR INFORMATION ONLY AND TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS.

BUT IN THE NEAR FUTURE, YOU MAY SEE ME AGAIN ASKING FOR BOARD PERMISSION TO EITHER BEGIN PERFORMING THE SCRAPPING OURSELVES OF THIS SURPLUS OR TO OFFER THESE SURPLUS GOODS TO OTHER GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES AND NOT-FOR-PROFIT AGENCIES TO BENEFIT PARTIES IN NEED AND REDUCE OUR COST OF STORAGE AND STAGING AN AUCTION. QUESTIONS?

>>MEMBER ORR: I GUESS I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION.

SOUNDS LIKE OVERALL, WE ESSENTIALLY WEIGH THE COST ANALYSIS OF -- IS IT BETTER TO GIVE THEM AWAY, DONATE IT, OR DO ALL THE WORK TO DO AN AUCTION. ESSENTIALLY THE PROCESS? DECIDE WHICH ONE WILL MAKE US MORE MONEY AT THE END OF THE

DAY? >> RIGHT, VERY COSTLY TO STAGE THESE AUCTIONS THAT MAKE SUCH A LITTLE AMOUNT OF MONEY, BUT

[00:30:02]

>>MEMBER ORR: OKAY. SO AT THE END OF THE DAY IF WE DO ALL THIS ANALYSIS AND FIND THAT IT WILL ACTUALLY COST MORE TO SELL THEM WHICH SOUNDS WILD, BUT I THINK SEE HOW CAN HAPPEN BETWEEN TRANSPORTATION, LABOR. WE CAN ESSENTIALLY GIVE THEM AWAY. WHO DO WE LOOK AT FOR THAT.

WHEN YOU SAY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS NOT-FOR-PROFIT.

I GUESS I WILL ASK TO SERVE OUR OWN COMMUNITY FIRST AS BEST WE CAN. THAT WILL BE PART OF THE PROCESS. AND I THINK THAT WILL BE GOOD.

>> I REACHED OUT TO OTHER DISTRICT IN HAMILTON HSE COUNTY AND THEY HAD GREAT IDEAS OF PEOPLE THIS THEY WORK WITH AND PROS AND CONS OF EACH. A LOT OF IT IS STRICTS, THREE OF THE FOUR THAT I SPOKE TO GO TO SCRAPPING THEIR OWN MATERIAL AS OPPOSED SELLING IT TO A SCRAPPER.

THE DISTRICT DOING ITSELF AND GAINING THE PROCEEDS ON THEIR OWN. THAT IS ANOTHER OPTION.

>>MEMBER ORR: SOUNDS GOOD. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

>> I HAVE ONE QUESTION AND FORGIVE ME IF YOU DID SAY THIS.

HOW OFTEN IS THIS PROCESS HAPPENING?

>> WE HAVE ONE ABOUT EVERY OTHER YEAR.

COVID MESSEDUS UP A LIT BIT, BUT GENERALLY WE TRY TO HAVE IT

EVERY TWO YEARS. >> MY OTHER QUESTION IS, YOU SAID ABOUT 90% OF MATERIALS EVERY YEAR ARE BEING CONSIDERED FOR SCRAPPING OR UP TO APPLICATION.

WOULD YOU -- HOW WOULD YOU RATE THE CONDITION OF THOSE 90% -- I MEAN, FOR ME PERSONALLY, IF A CHAIR STILL HOLDS SOMEBODY AND YOU CAN'T HURT YOURSELF ON A CHAIR, IT IS STILL USABLE.

CURIOUS WHERE THE INFLUX IS. >> MANY OF THEM WERE ORIGINAL TO IT THE BUILDING AND THE MOST RECENT RENOVATIONS.

QUITE A FEW OF THEM HAVE 15, 20 YEARS OR MORE.

THEY ARE BUILT TO -- TO KIND OF LAST FOREVER, BUT THEY HAVE SOME

AGE ON THEM FOR SURE. >> OKAY, THANKS.

>> SOMETIMES SOME OF THE COST IS JUST OVER TIME TRYING TO STORE -- THE STORAGE COSTS. THE EQUIPMENT ISN'T WORTH THE

[6. Action Items]

COST TO STORE IT. >> THANK YOU.

>>MEMBER LANG: THANK YOU. MOVING TO ACTION ITEM 6.01,

TEMPORARY LOANS. >> GOOD EVENING, STEPHANIE MADISON, DIRECTOR OF BUSINESS. WE COME TO THE BOARD EVERY JANUARY TO ASK FOR TEMPORARY LOANS TO BE MADE BETWEEN FUNDS.

THIS YEAR TEMPORARY LOANS ARE NEEDED FOR REFERENDUM, PENSION BOND AND OPERATIONS FUND. THESE BOPDZ ARE SUPPORTED WITH PROPERTY TAX DISTRIBUTION THAT QUELL NOT RECEIVE UNTIL MAY AND JUNE. WE ARE NORTHWEST ALLOWED TO HAVE NEGATIVE CASH BALANCES IN THESE FUNDS LAND COVER THE OPERATING EXPENSES UNTIL WE RECEIVE THE TAX DISTRIBUTION.

FORTUNATE AT SHE TO HAVE FUNDS IN OUR DEBT SERVICE AND RAINY DAY TO MAKE THESE LOANS. THE ALTERNATIVE WILL BE TAX ANTICIPATION WARRANTS WHICH WOULD INCUR COST TO TAXPAYERS.

SO FOR YOUR APPROVAL THIS MORNING -- THIS EVENING, SORRY, WE ARE ASKING FOR DEBT SERVICE TO REFERENDUM $3 MILLION.

DEBT SERVICE TO OPERATIONS, $1 MILLION.

DEBT SERVICE TO PENSION BOND $100,000.

RAINY DAY TO OPERATIONS FUND, $10 MILLION FOR A TOTAL OF $14,100,000. SO WITH YOUR APPROVAL THIS EVENING, THESE LOANS WILL BE MADE ON JANUARY 27 AND REPAID TO DEBT SERVICE AND RAINY DAY BY DECEMBER 31.

THESE ARE STRICTLY FOR CASH FLOW PURPOSES.

>>MEMBER LANG: IS THERE A MOTION.

>> MOTION TO APPROVE THE AUTHORIZATION OF TEMPORARY LOANS FROM THE DEBT SERVICE TO THE REFERENDUM OPERATIONS, PENSION BOND FUNDS AND RAINY FUND TO OPERATIONS FUND AS PRESENTED.

>>MEMBER LANG: IS THERE A SECOND.

>> SECOND. >>MEMBER LANG: PLEASE CALL FOR

VOTE. >>MEMBER ORR: YES.

>>MEMBER DONSBACH: YES. >>MEMBER LANG: YES.

>>MEMBER ALBRIGHT: YES. >>MEMBER PARKS-REESE: YES.

>>MEMBER THOMAS: YES IF. >>MEMBER PASCOE: YES.

>> MOTION FROM THOMAS AND SECONDED BY PASCO.

MOTION PASSED 7-0. >>MEMBER LANG: MOVING CONTINUE TO 6.02. YEAR-END FINANCIAL REPORT AND

APPROVAL OF TRANSFERS. >> HI, THERE.

>>MEMBER LANG: HELLO. >> I AM GOING TO GET THE GOLDEN MIC. WHOEVER SPENDS THE MOST TIME AT THE PODIUM. ANNUALLY WE GIVE FINANCIAL UPDATE, AS WELL AS APPROVAL OF TRANSFERS, ALL THE APPROPRIATION TRANSFERS IN THE SCHOOL CORPORATION.

I AM GOING TO FIRST GO THROUGH THE INITIAL REPORT AND COVER THE TRANSFERS. FOR YOUR INFORMATION, THERE ARE MONTHLY FINANCIALS THAT THE BOARD WILL RECEIVE.

AND WE WILL SUBSEQUENTLY POST ON THE FINANCE WEB SITE THAT ARE

[00:35:04]

NOT SO SAY THAT IT COULDN'T EVER CHANGE.

THIS IS, I THINK, WHAT WE HAVE USED.

AND I TEND TO LIKE TO UNDERSTAND WHY WE USE IT BEFORE I PROPOSE WE CHANGE IT. ONLY MY SECOND TIME.

MAYBE IT WILL LOOK DIFFERENT NEXT YEAR.

OUR 2022 FINANCIAL UPDATE IS ABOUT OUR '23 BUDGET AND WHERE WHERE WE PROJECT OUR CASH BALANCES WILL END BY THE YEAR.

THESE ARE ALL PROJECTED. OUR GOAL TO HAVE 167/12 OF REMAINING CASH PAL IN THE FUND AT THE END OF THE YEAR -- YES AT 12/31. ONE THING I WILL POINT OUT FOR THE BUDGET FOR THE EDUCATION FUND, WE ALREADY KNOW THAT WE WILL DO AN ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION IN THAT FUND.

WE HAD SOME -- SO, IF YOU MIGHT IMAGINE, A FINANCIAL PLAN THAT IS IN LOTUS. AND THERE ARE FORMULAS AND THINGS THAT YOU HAVE TO MOVE. WE ARE CONVERTING IT TO ECEL.

CELLS THAT NEEDED TO BE, AND ADVERTISED TOO LOW.

IT IS AN EASY FIX AND NOT A PROPERTY TAX FUND AND THOUGHS THE CASH BALANCE A LITTLE BIT. LATER THIS YEAR, WE WILL DO AN ADVERTISEMENT TO GET IT WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE AND THE CASH BALANCE IS 9.4%. FOR YOUR INFORMATION, ONCE WE ADVERTISED THE BUDGET AND STARTED THE PROCESS, IT SEEMED TO BE MORE PRUDENT TO WAIT FOR AN ADDITIONAL FOR SOMETHING ELSE AND CORRECT IT AT THAT TIME. RIGHT NOW WITH THE EXISTING BUDGET AT $153.1 MILLION, THE CASH BALANCE AROUND 10%.

BUT ADDITIONALLY IT WILL BE 9.64%.

THE NEXT SLIDE IS JUST A COMPARISON TO GIVE YOU THE ACTUAL CASH BALANCE THAT IS IN GREEN, COMPARED TO THE TARGET CASH BALANCE THAT 8.# 3% WHICH IS ACTUALLY 1/12 AND CASH BALANCES. WHEN THE EDUCATION FUND BECAME -- FUNDED THROUGH THE STATE OF INDIANA, THAT BECAME A LOT EASIER TO MAINTAIN WHEN YOU GET A MONTHLY DISTRIBUTION OPPOSED TO TWICE A YEAR. YOU CAN IMAGINE DOING CASH FLOW FOR $150 MILLION. WE WOULD BE DOING BORROWING AND WOULDN'T HAVE THAT MUCH IN OUR RAINY DAY FUND TO HELP US.

THE NEXT SLIDE IS THE REFERENDUM FUND.

WE WERE VERY CONSERVATIVE ON EXPENDITURES FOR 2023 FOR OBVIOUS REASONS. THAT BALANCE ACTUALLY SHOWS AN INCREASE. PART OF THAT IS NOT KNOWING HALFWAY THROUGH THE SCHOOL YEAR WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE IN JANUARY, BECAUSE WE WILL START THE FALL SORT OF NOT KNOWING.

SO IF THE REFERENDUM WAS NOT TO BE APPROVED OR NOT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT, WE NEED SIX MONTHS TO BE ABLE TO SEE THOSE BALANCES THROUGH. THAT'S WHY WE PROJECT THAT OUT A LITTLE BIT HIGHER. YOU CAN SEE WE USE IT A LOT MORE EFFICIENTLY THE YEAR BEFORE AND LET A LITTLE BIT RIDE AND WHEN YOU HAVE TO MAKE CHANGES LEAK THAT, YOU NEED TIME FOR THOSE CHANGES TO TAKE EFFECT AND THIS IS WHAT THIS PROTECTS US FROM.

AND THE NEXT FUND IS RAINY DAY. I KNOW THAT IS REALLY INTERESTING, ISN'T IT. THAT IS BASICALLY TO SHOW YOU WE ARE NOT STOCKPILING MONEY IN THE RAINY DAY, KEEP IT AT 13,500,000. WE START IS IT WHERE WE END IT.

WE ARE NOT ADDING TO THAT FUND EVERY YEAR.

THAT IS JUST TO DEMOCRAT STREET. I THINK THERE WAS A FEAR OF THAT AT ONE TIME BUT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE NOT PUTTING MONEY IN RAINY DAY EACH YEAR JUST TO SAVE IT FOR A RAINY DAY.

NEXT SLIDE IS DEBT SERVICE. SO WE HAVE TWO -- WE HAVE DEBT SERVICE EXEMPT AND RECOGNIZE DEBT SERVICE AND OUR PENSION BOND FUND. WHY DOES THAT MATTER? I DON'T KNOW, BUT IT DOES. EXEMPT FROM PROPERTY TAX CAPS.

WE ARE LIMITED BY STATUTE ON HOW MUCH CASH WE CAN KEEP IN THIS FUND SO IF YOU HAVE DEBT THAT WAS INCURRED AFTER 6/30 OF 2014, YOU CAN KEEP 50% CASH BALANCE OF YOUR OPERATING AMOUNT -- WHAT THE BUDGET IS, IF YOU HAVE ISSUES PRIOR OF 7/1/14, YOU CAN KEEP A 50% BALANCE. SO WHAT YOU SEE THERE IS SORT OF A BLEND. THE REASON WE USE THAT WHEN WE ARE STRUCTURING DEBT, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE DOING LONGER TERM PROJECTS, WE MAY NEED TO USE A LITTLE CASH TO KEEP THE RATE FLAT, BUT ALSO FOR CASH FLOW. WHEN YOU HAVE A BUDGET OF $64 MILLION, IF WE HAD A 8% CASH BALANCE, WE WOULD HAVE TO BORROW BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE CASH ON HAND TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.

BUT WITHIN THE STATUTORY LIMITATIONS.

IF WE GO OVER THAT, WHAT HAPPENS IS THE DEPARTMENT OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT FINANCE, THEY BASICALLY CUT OUR LEVY.

[00:40:03]

THE TOP LEVEL SHOWING YOU WHAT THE BALANCE IS OF THE FUNDS THAT THE BOARD APPROVES AND HOW MUCH THAT MAKES THE CASH ON HAND.

THE TOP IS ORANGE. THE OPERATIONS FUND.

BELOW IS REFERENDUM AND INFINTESTIMAL OF RAINY DAY AND PENSION BOND. $380,000.

AND THE AMOUNT OF CASH IS TENS OF THOUSAND SO AS BARELY SHOWS UP. IT GETS BLOWN OVER BY EVERYTHING ELSE. THEN RAINY DAY IN MAROON AND EDUCA EDUCATION.

$286,171. A CASH BALANCE OF 19.8% NOT OPERATIONAL BUT RESERVE IF YOU THINK OF THAT NUMBER OVERALL.

MY ACTUAL MOST FAVORITE SLIDE TEM STRAITS A REDUCTION IN OUR TAX RATE FOR THE SCHOOL CORPORATION OF 3.99% FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023. THE FIFTH YEAR IN A ROW WE HAVE REDUCED OUR OVERALL TAX RATE TO THE TAXPAYERS WITHIN THE SCHOOL CORPORATION BOUNDARY. THE BULK OF THAT FOR YOUR INFORMATION HAS COME FROM -- AT LEAST FOR THIS YEAR -- THE REDUCTION IN THE OVERALL DEBT RATE.

WE KEPT IS DEBT RATE -- I DON'T EVEN KNOW FOR YEARS AND YEARS.

BUT WE NEEDED TO RELEASE SOME OF IT BACK.

IT JUST WASN'T PRUDENT FOR US -- WE DIDN'T HAVE -- WE HAD PROJECTS TO DO BUT WE DIDN'T HAVE THE TIMING DOWN TO ISSUE DEBT WE COULDN'T USE. SO I WOULD BE SITTING ON THE MONEY AND IT WAS TIME TO JUST LET IT RETIRE OUT AND GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD FOR THE NEXT YEAR AND NOW WE ARE BELOW THAT AND WHERE THE BULK OF THE 3.99 COMES FROM.

AND THE LAST SLIDE IS THE COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENTS TO ESSENTIALLY DEMONSTRATE WHAT YOU LOOK AT COLA FOR THE AREA AND TAX RATE THAT WE ARE FAR UNDER THAT.

JUST FOR HOW WE OPERATE. I THINK IT IS JUST A TESTAMENT THAT WE ARE NOT GROWING BEYOND THAT AND WE ARE CERTAINLY BEING CONSERVATIVE IN HOW WE MANAGE OUR TAX RATE.

THAT IS THE END OF THOSE SLIDES. SO IS THE TRANSFERS.

WHEN WE -- WHEN THE BOARD APPROVES THE BUDGET, WE HAVE THE FUNDS, WE HAVE THE ACCOUNT CODES, THE OBJECT CODES AND WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT ALL DATA AT THE LOCATION LEVEL.

IN A DISTRICT THIS SIZE, WE HAVE LITERALLY TENS OF THOUSANDS OF ACCOUNT NUMBERS. HOW WE MONITOR THAT IS AT A CONTROL LEVEL. SO I DON'T MONITOR OR STEPHANIE OR DAVID STAURS OUR ACCOUNTING SUPERVISOR EVERY INDIVIDUAL LI LINE.

ONE IS ELEMENTARY. WE FUND IT AT THE TOP LEVEL AND SPENT DOWN THROUGH THE YEAR. WHAT HAPPENS IS THROUGH THE END OF THE YEAR WE GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS CALLED A BUDGET SHAKEDOWN WHAT WE CALLED IT WHERE I USED TO BE.

AND ESSENTIALLY THE COMPUTER GOES IN AND BALANCES EVERYTHING OUT. IT DOESN'T HAVE A NET CHANGE IN ANYTHING TO DO WITH WHAT THE BOARD ORIGINALLY APPROVED.MORE OF A PROCEDURAL FUNCTION TO CLEAN UP THE BOOKS AT THE END OF THE YEAR AND REQUIRE BOARD APPROVAL WHICH IS WHY WE HAVE IT. CLEARLY 54 PAGES LONG AND MAY GIVE SOMEONE CAUSE TO PAUSE ON IT AND PRETTY ROUTINE.

I HAVE NOT SEEN A SCHOOL DISTRICT YET THAT DOESN'T UTILIZE IT AND ASKING FOR YOUR APPROVAL SO WE CAN BALANCE OUT THE BOOKS. BUT THE SET EFFECT OF THOSE TRANSFERS ARE ZERO. AND THAT CONCLUDES MY FINANCIAL

UPDATE. >>MEMBER ORR: I HAVE ONE QUESTION. YOU MENTIONED TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF THE PRESENTATION THERE THAT WE WERE NOT KNOWING WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN AS WE WRAP UP THE LAST REFERENDUM AND GET INTO THE NEXT ONE. WE HAVE TRIED TO BE A LITTLE MORE CONSERVATIVE GOING INTO THAT.

SAVE SOME THINGS. CAN YOU TALK JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IF WE ARE BEING MORE EFFICIENT RIGHT NOW, IS THAT

[00:45:01]

OR POSSIBLY FIND SOME NEW EFFICIENCIES THAT WILL BE ABLE TO BE SUSTAINED EVEN IF WE DO GIVE MORE MONEY?

>> I WOULD THINK I WOULD WANT TO LOOK INTO IT A LITTLE MORE UNLESS STEPHANIE WANTS TO ADD IN, BUT I WILL TELL THAT YOU THERE ARE JUST THINGS THAT YOU DON'T DO, BECAUSE YOU UNDERSTAND THERE IS A CHANCE YOU MAY NOT HAVE THAT.

THEY ARE NOT CAPITAL. WE DON'T PAY FOR CAPITAL BY AND LARGE WITHIN THE REFERENDUM FUND, SO SOME OF IT IS SIMPLY -- I MEAN, I WILL JUST TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, YOU DON'T HAVE NEW ADMINISTRATORS WHEN YOU GO OUT FOR REFERENDUM.

SOME THINGS YOU WOULD ADD -- IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE FUNDS, THINGS YOU WOULDN'T DO. BUT I WILL HAVE TO DIG INTO REFERENDUM A LITTLE MORE TO GIVE YOU SPECIFICS.

SOME OF IT IS TEXTBOOK THINGS FOR THE READING ADOPTION LAST YEAR LYING IN WAIT TO SEE WHERE WE WILL GO IN FUTURE YEARS.

I CAN'T SPEAK TO IT EXACTLY TO BE HONEST, BUT IT IS NOT LIKE WE PUT OFF CAPITAL PROJECTS. THAT ISN'T WHAT IS IN THERE.

WE ALSO HAVE CHANGES, AS YOU KNOW, THAT HAVEN'T WRAPPED THEIR WAY AROUND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE CUSTODIAL AGREEMENT.

WE HAD TO ADD DOLLARS TO THAT BUT I WILL GIVE YOU SMORE SPECIFICS IF THAT WILL BE HELPFUL.

>>MEMBER ORR: THAT WILL BE GREAT.

AS WE TALKED BEFORE PLANNING A PLAN A OR PLAN B OR MAYBE A PLAN C. I KNOW MY FAMILY DOES THIS.

YOU PREPARE FOR THE WORSE AND END UP WITH IT AND EVERYTHING

WORKS OUT OKAY -- >> JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD. IF WE FIEND THINGS ALONG 9 WAY CERTAINLY NOT THINGS LIKE TEXTBOOKS AND TEACHERS, ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS, THOSE KIND OF THINGS.

MAYBE KEEP THEM IN MIND GOING FORWARD.

>> I WILL ADD THAT OUR ASSESSED VALUE HAS BEEN INCREASING AND SINCE -- I AM SORRY, ARE YOU LOOKING FOR THE TALKING HEAD? YOU TOLD ME TO CHIME IN. IT IS A FLAT RATE FOR REFERENDUM. AS OUR ASSESSED VALUE GOES UP, WE COLLECT NOR TAX MONEY. DOESN'T MEAN WE TURN AROUND AND INCREASE OUR EXPENDITURES. WE ARE TRYING TO BE CONSERVATIVE WITH THE EXPENDITURES WHILE COLLECTING A HIGHER LEVY.

WE INCREASE EVERY YEAR FOR THINGS THAT WE KNOW WILL GO UP LIKE INSURANCE AND UTILITIES AND THAT SORT OF THING WHEN WE PREPARE THE BUDGET. I WILL JUST SAY THAT WE ARE VERY CONSERVATIVE WHEN WE SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

BUT THAT RATE DOES GENERATE MORE MONEY EACH YEAR.

>> THE OTHER THING I WILL ADD ABOUT THE TEXT BOOKS.

FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN WE DID THE READING ADOPTION FOR K-6 OR K-8 -- K-6, ORIGINALLY THE FEE PROPOSAL THAT WAS GOING TO COME TO US WAS TO INCREASE FEES TO PARENTS BY -- IN SOME CASES OVER $150 A STUDENT, WHICH WE DETERMINED WAS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. IT IS JUST -- IT JUST IS.

THAT ISN'T -- YOU KNOW WE CAN SAY HSE IS THIS OR THAT, BUT THE REALITY TO GO TO KIDS AND HAVE ONE KID, TWO KIDS, THREE KIDS, FOUR KIDS. THAT IS A TON OF MONEY AND WE ESSENTIALLY LEVELED EVERYTHING OUT AND INCREASE RIGHT AROUND THE SAME WHICH IS AROUND $50 TO $60 ON AVERAGE AND THE DISTRICT OBSERVED THE REST. AND BECAUSE WE HAVE THE ROOM AND REFER REN DUMB. WE FELT THAT WAS MORE THAN JUSTIFIABLE BECAUSE IT WENT RIGHT BACK TO TOWER COMMUNITY MEMBERS. WE HAVE OTHER ADOPTIONS THIS YEAR. HOPEFULLY WE DON'T HAVE THE SAME THING, BUT WE TRY TO BE MINDFUL OF THAT BECAUSE SIMPLY IT WASN'T ACCEPTABLE FOR US TO PASS ON TO OUR FAMILIES.

>>MEMBER ORR: AGAIN THAT RATE HAS GONE DOWN -- THAT TAX RE DO

GET THAT RIGHT? >> THE OVERALL DISTRICT TAX RATE HAS DECREASED. THE FIFTH YEAR IN A ROW.

THE REFERENDUM IS IT RATE. IT CAN GO DOWN.

>>MEMBER ORR: THANK YOU. >> I AM NEXT.

>> MOVING ON -- >> ARE WE HAVING MOTION?

>> I NEED A MOTION TO APPROVE THE APPROPRIATION OF TRANSFERS.

>>MEMBER LANG: YOU ARE CORRECT. YOU STARTED TO WALK AWAY AND I

GOT CONSUMED. >> MOTION.

>> SECOND. >>MEMBER LANG: CALL FOR A VOTE,

PLEASE. >>MEMBER ORR: YES.

>>MEMBER LANG: YES. >>MEMBER ALBRIGHT: YES.

>>MEMBER PARKS-REESE: YES. >>MEMBER THOMAS: YES.

>>MEMBER PASCOE: YES. MOTION PASSES 7-0.

[00:50:03]

>>MEMBER DONSBACH: CAN I VOTE PLEASE?

YES. >>MEMBER PASCOE: MOTION PASSES

7-0. >>MEMBER LANG: MOVING 6.03, SECOND PRELIMINARY HEARING FOR THE TRANSPORTATION CENTER PROJECT. YOU ARE ON AGAIN.

>> ALL RIGHT. SO WHAT WE ARE GOING TO GO THROUGH IS THE PURPOSE OF THE HEARING, THE PROCESS OF DETERMINING COMMUNICATING THE PROJECT TO THE COMMUNITY, THE NEED FOR THE PROJECT, HOW THE PROPOSED PROJECT MEETS THE NEEDS AND THE TIMING OF THE CONSTRUCTION AND HOW THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL BE FINANCE AND THE IMPACT ON A TYPICAL TAXPAYER. PURSUANT TO INDIANA CODE 20267-37, BEFORE A SCHOOL CORPORATION MAY SPEND MORE THAN $1 MILLION TO BUILD, REPAIR OR ALTER A SCHOOL BUILDING FINANCED BY LEASE OR BONDS IT MUST HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING AT WHICH EXPLANATIONS OF THE VALUE OF THE PROJECT TO THE SCHOOL CORPORATION AND THE VALUE IS GIVEN.

SCHOOL CORPORATION MUST HOLD TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO ISSUE BONDS OR ENTER INTO A LEASE FOR A PROJECT THAT HAS A TOTAL PROJECT COST IN EXCESS OF A NONCONTROLLED PROJECT. READS LIKE IRNGZKEA INSTRUCTIONS, $5.8 MILLION FOR OUR SCHOOL CORPORATION.

YOU MITE IMAGINE, THIS IS THE SECOND.

WE HAD THE FIRST HEARING LAST TIME.

AND WHEN WE ARE DONE WITH THIS, WHAT GOES THROUGH NEXT, 30-DAY WAITING PERIOD FOR THE PROJECT. A PETITION FOR THE PROJECT.

AND NOT ISSUING BONDS IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT.

I WOULD REMIND YOU ISSUED $5.5 MILLION IN BONDS IN 2022 FOR THE PROJECT AND THEY BID THE PROJECT IT CAME IN SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER.

WE WEREN'T ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THE THINGS WE FELT LIKE WE NEEDED TO TO UPGRADE AND REALLY THE GROUNDS ITSELF RATHER THAN THE FACILITY AND ASKING FOR THAT HIGHER APPROVAL BUT THE PROCESS IS THE SAME EVEN THOUGH. AN ADDITIONAL $1.3 MILLION.

SO THE PUBLIC HEARINGS AND CONSIDERATION OF THE RESOLUTION IS THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE LEGAL PROCESS.

THE RESOLUTION PRESENTED TODAY WILL ESTABLISH THE MAXIMUM FINANCIAL TERMS FOR THE PROPOSED PROJECT.

EXCUSE ME. HOW DID WE GET TO THE CURRENT SCENARIO? I WOULD TELL YOU INSTRUCTIONAL IF A SILLS HAVE ALWAYS COME FIRST.

WE HAVE NOT DONE ANY WORK AT THE TRANSPORTATION FACILITY SINCE 2004. WHEN OUR DISTRICT HAD 12683 STUDENTS AND 200 BUSES AND NOW OVER 21,000 STUDENTS AND OVER 300 BUSES. SO YOU CAN THINK ABOUT WHY THAT HAS BEEN AN IMPACT FOR THEM, BUT BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF BUILDINGS, IT IS JUST BECOME A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT WE NEED TO DO THIS OTHER BUSINESS FIRST AND REALLY A SAFETY ISSUE FOR US.

IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THE LOT. A SAFETY ISSUE FOR STAFF.

IT IS ABOUT DRAINAGE, PARKING. THERE IS ALSO SOME EMPLOYEE ACCESS THINGS THAT WILL BE CORRECTED I LEARNED TODAY MEETING WITH MIKE JOHNSON, OUR DIRECTOR OF SAFETY AND SECURITY.

THE DESCRIPTION OF THESE PROJECTS AND HOW THEY ADDRESS THE NEEDS AND CONSTRUCTION IS SCHEDULED FOR EARLY SPRING IT 2023 BECAUSE WE HAVE THE FRONT END.

INCREASED BUS PARKING, INCREASED STAFF PARKING, SAFE WALKWAYS, BUILDING ACCESS, SECURITY UPGRADES AND FOB ACCESS INSTEAD OF A KEY PIN PADDEN TREE THAT IS UNIQUE TO THE USER.

MIKE JOHNSON GAVE A SITUATION OF A STAFF MEMBER -- I AM HOPING THIS -- WHO IS NO LONGER EMPLOYED WAS ABLE TO GO INTO THE BUILDINGS AT TRANSPORTATION BECAUSE IT IS A SINGLE SIGN ON.

JUST THINGS LIKE THAT THAT WE NEED TO CORRECT.

SO I WOULD ALSO SAY THAT WE HAD SOME PRETTY -- WE HAD SOME WORKER COMP ISSUES BECAUSE WE CAN'T SALT PROPERLY AND MAINTAIN THE SAFETY BETWEEN THE BUSES. WE HAVE THE BUSES, THEY DON'T HAVE THE ROOM. A BUS BACKS UP DOESN'T HAVE IS SUFFICIENT SPACE. IT RUN INTO ANOTHER BUS.

PLANNED MCKINNEY SHARED SOME MUCH OUR NANS -- NOT IN HAMILTON HSE COUNTY HAD BODILY INJURY WHEN THEY RUN OVER AN EMPLOYEE.

WE CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO HEAD THAT DIRECTION, SO WE ARE JUST LOOKING -- WE ARE NOT -- WE ARE NOT LOOKING TO MAKE ANY TYPE OF TAJ MAHAL. THERE IS VERY, VERY MINIMAL IF ANY IMPROVEMENTS TO THE ACTUAL TRANSPORTATION IF A CELT.

ABOUT THE GROURNDZ, THE PARKING AND DRAINAGE AND CAMERAS AND ACCESS CONTROL. FINANCIAL INFORMATION RELATED TO IT THE PROJECTS, THE TOE CAL MAXIMUM COST IS $6.8 MILLION.

9.50 OF THAT IS EXPECTED TO BE HARD COST OF CONSTRUCTION AND SOFT COST AND COST OF ISSUANCE IS APPROXIMATELY $850,000.

THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT IS $1.3 MILLION.

THE MAXIMUM INTEREST PEACE WILL BE $98,250.

THE INTEREST RATE IS A NOT TO EXCEED 6%.

[00:55:01]

THAT ACTUALLY CONCLUDES MY COMPONENTS OF THIS HEARING.

PRESIDENT LANG. >>MEMBER LANG: BEFORE WE MOVE TO ANY MOTIONS WE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT AND RECOGNIZE R

RAY MMADLOAN ON THIS VERY ITEM. >> GOOD EVENING.

I AM GOING TO TALK ABOUT A COUPLE OF THINGS.

SINCE THE DIESEL EMISSIONS REDUCTION ACT OF 2010, THE COMBINATION OF LOW SULFUR DIESEL FUEL AND ADVANCED DIESEL THAT BUSES HAVE ZERO OF HYDROCARBON, EMISSIONS.

PROVIDES GRANT MONEY TO RETROFIT OLDER BUSES TO CURRENT STANDARDS. IF HSE QUALIFIES AND YOU WANT TO KEEP SOME OF THE OLDER BUSES YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO USE THE FUNDING SOURCE TO UPGRADE CURRENT EMISSION STANDARDS.

OTHERWISE APPROXIMATELY 80 OF THE 2010 OR EARLY DECEMBERA SCHOOL BUSES TO GET CLEANER BURNING -- CLEANER RUNNING DIESEL BUSES. I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS OF A LOOKING AT THE SPECIFICATION DRAWINGS FOR THE TRANSPORTATION CENTER IN THE PUBLIC NOTICE SECTION OF THE HSE WEB SITE.

THE CURRENT LOT WAS RESURFACED NOT THAT LONG AGO.

NUMBER ONE, IF THE AREA IS THOUGHT TO CONTAIN MOISTURE SENSITIVE SOILS. HAS BORE SAMPLES TAKEN TO IDENTIFY ANY ISSUES OR REMEDIES IN THE CONSTRUCTION PLAN.

TWO, SINCE THIS A FULL DEPTH PAVING ANY CONSIDERATION OF CHEMICAL STABILIZATION OF THE UNDERLYING SOILS TO MAKE IT MORE RESISTANT TO MOISTURE. THREE, THE UNDERGROUND STORAGE -- DRAINAGE STORAGE SYSTEM IS EXTENSIVE WHICH IS EXPENSIVE.

WAS THAT BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH AREA FOR THE RETENTION POND TOP MEET THE NEED. FOUR IN, HAS THE WEIGHT CALCULATIONS BEEN REVISITED SO IT WILL SUPPORT THE BUSES IN VISION. IF -- A BIGF IF, IF WOULD YOU GIVE E-BUSES IN NEAT, $8,000 TO 10,000 POUNDS PER BUS, WAS THAT INCLUDED IN THE CALCULATIONS. REGARDING THE SCOPE OF THE EV CONDUIT, IN THE BID, I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE THE BID TO HAVE AN ALTERNATE PLAN FOR 16 LEVEL 2 EV STATIONS APPEAR ASSOCIATED TRANSFORMERS AND DISTRIBUTION PANELS.

NOTE THAT THE CHARGERS THEMSELVES SUPPLIED BY HSE.

WHERE IS THAT COST CAPTURED. NUMBER ONE, DID 9 BOARD ASK FOR THAT? THE SCOPE AND COST BE REMOVED FROM THE BID PRESENTED TO THE BOARD.

AND TWO, WHAT IS PART OF THE CONDUIT.

PANELS FOR 16 OR ONE STATION. CONDUIT LAID FOR ALL 16 STATIONS FOR ONE. THREE, WHY COULDN'T THE CURRENT CHARGING STATION REMAIN WHERE IT IS AND SAVE THE COST OF MOVING IT. AS FAR AS I KNOW DON'T DATA FROM THE HSE IF BUS HAVE BEEN COLLECTED, ANALYZED AND PRESENTED TO THE BOARD. A DECISION HAS NOT BEEN MADE OF BUYING MORE E-BUSES. I SUGGEST THAT THE NEW BOARD, TAKE A MOMENT, HOLD OFF OF IMPROVING THE CONTRACT AND HAVE A CHANCE TO HOOK AT THE MANS TO ENSURE THAT ELEMENTS LIKE THE ONE I LIST READY ADDRESSED. WE WANT THIS TO BE A LONG-TERM SOLUTION AND NOT SOMETHING WE HAVE TO REDO BEFORE ITS TIME.

THANK YOU. >>MEMBER LANG: THANK YOU, RAY.

>> THIS IS WHY I AM A C SHGZFO AND NOT AN ENGINEER.

I TOLD THE TONIGHTER, THAT SOME OF THE REQUEST HE IS I CAN ANSWER. SOME OF WHICH I NEED TO GO BACK TO ENGINEERING. I AM NOT SURE THAT HE KNOWS IF WE LOOKED AT THE WEIGHT OF THE BUS AND SOME OF THE CHEMICAL QUESTIONS. SO I AM GOING TO ANSWER THE THINGS THAT I CAN. THE FIRST THING I WANT TO SAY IS WE ARE NOT APPROVING A CONTRACT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION.

WE ARE APPROVING THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THE PROJECT.

THAT DOESN'T PREVENT US FROM ACCEPTING OR JUST GETTING RID OF AN ALTERNATIVE BEDFORD FROM THE ORIGINAL RFP SPEC.

THAT IS JUST FOR CONTROLLED PROJECT MAXIMUM.

WE HAVE GIVEN YOU THE TOTAL PROJECT SCOPE AND NOT IMPROVING A CONSTRUCTION FIRM TO DO THIS PART OF THIS PROCESS SO WE ARE

[01:00:05]

TO COME TO THE BOARD. >> CAN I ASK A QUICK QUESTION

ABOUT THAT? >> WHY YES, MA'AM.

>>THE ZONING -- AND WHAT RAY BROUGHT UP WITH THE RESHAPED STORM RETENTION AREA. WE HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING AS FAR AS HAVING PROFESSIONALS OUT THERE TO --

>> NO, NO, THAT IS NOT TRUE. ABSOLUTELY.

PART OF THE SOFT COST. HARD COST IS THE CONSTRUCTION AND THIS WILL COME TO THE BOARD FOR APPROVAL.

WE HAVE DONE CORE SAMPLES. THEY HAVE WHAT THEY CALL A TAC COMMITTEE THAT IS USUALLY PART OF -- I THINK THE COUNTY DRAINAGE BOARD PART OF THAT, THE TOUCHDOWN COUNTY SURVEYOR, THE CITY OF FISHERS. A PROCESS.

WE HAD TO ADD TO THE RETENTION POND AND GIVE UP PARKING SPACES TO MEET CHANGES THAT THEY REQUESTED.

THOSE THINGS HAVE BEEN DONE, YES.

>> THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO ASK YOU.

>> BUT WE HAVE NOT AIR WARDED A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT AND WHAT YOU ARE DOING HERE TODAY IS NOT THAT EITHER.

>> HAS ANYTHING BEEN LOOKED AT, THE TRAFFIC PATTERN.

ANYTHING HAVE TO HAPPEN WITH CUMBERLAND ROAD WITH EXITING AND ADDING MORE BUSES AND WIDENING THE ROAD AT THAT POINT OR NO? IF I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IF THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WAS

AFTER THE FACT. >> NO, THAT WAS PART OF IT AS WELL. I AM ZACK, DIRECTOR OF TRANSPORTATION. I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO --

WELCOME. >> THE PERSON YOU HEARD ON YOUR

PHONE. >> LAST NEAT.

NOT EARLY -- THANK YOU, DR. STOKES.

THE CITY OF FISHER IS INVOLVED IN THIS AS WELL.

A GREAT RAPPORT WITH FISHER POLICE.

THIS LOT WILL TAKE THEM OUT OF THIS AREA.

PUT THEM MORE THERE. AND WHAT IT WILL ALSO DO FORCE ALL OF MY BUSES TO GO SOUTHBOUND AND USE THAT ROUNDABOUT TO GO NORTH AS OPPOSED TO CROSS TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF OUR BUILDING HERE WHICH IS A MUCH SAFER. SO WE HAVE ALREADY HAD THAT CONVERSATION WITH FISHERS POLICE AS WELL.

>> EXCELLENT. JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE.

>> NO PROBLEM. >>THE OTHER THING I WILL SAY THAT THE EV BUS CAME ONLINE THIS FALL.

I KNOW THAT IS ON ZACK'S LIST TO REPORT ON, BUT IT JUST CAME ON THIS FALL. WE REALLY HAD IT FOR A WHOLE SEMESTER. I WISH WE HAD MORE DATA BUT WE DON'T HAVE IT YET. PRESIDENT LANG, IF YOU WANT I CAN REVIEW THE FOUR RESOLUTIONS AND VOTE ON THEM IN TOTAL OR I CAN GO THROUGH THEM INDIVIDUALLY IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE HERE 15 MINUTES LONGER. NO, I AM KIDDING.

WHATEVER THE BOARD PREFERS. >>MEMBER ORR: I HAVE ONE QUESTION BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO THAT.

WITH SETTING A PRICE MAX FOR A PROJECT MAX AND -- I THINK IF YOU WORKED IN THIS WORLD, YOU KNOW THAT WHERE THESE PROJECTS GET HUNG UP ON CHANGE ORDERS AFTER THE FACT.

SO DO WE -- DO WE HAVE ANY CONTROLS OVER THAT? I DON'T WANT TO SEE US END UP IN A POSITION WHERE -- IN MY DAY JOB, I DEAL WITH THESE RECONSTRUCTION COSTS AND THINGS ALL THE TIME. DO WE SET OURSELVES UP FOR ANY KIND OF CONCERNS WITH RISING COSTS BY SETTING THESE MAXES THAT A PROJECT WOULD HIT THIS MAX AND NOT BE ABLE FINISHED LIKE ROUNDABOUT PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE COME INTO.

>> WE CAN'T GO ABOVE THE $#.8 MILLION.

WE WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK TO THIS PROCESS WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH AGAIN. AND THIS SOMEONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT. WE NEED A LOT OF THE ENGINEERING WORK. BUT IN THIS CASE TO CHANGE THE SCOPE OF WHAT THEY NEEDED WOULD HAVE DEFEATED THE PURPOSE WHAT WE ARE DOING. NO, I AM NOT WORRIED ABOUT THAT.

THERE ARE CONTINGENCIES BUILT INTO THE OVERALL AGREEMENTS, BUT BY LAW WE CAN NOT GO OVER THE 6.8.

I AM NOT WORRIED ABOUT THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE GONE THROUGH THE BID PROCESS. THE BOARD HAVEN'T AWARDED THIS BID BECAUSE WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS FIRST.

I AM VERY CONFIDENT ON THE NUMBERS BECAUSE IT ALREADY WENT

TO BID. >>MEMBER ORR: WE ALREADY HAD A

GENERAL CONTRACTOR? >> WE WENT THROUGH THE BID PROCESS BUT DID NOT BRING IT TO THE BOARD FOR AWARD YET.

YOU CAN'T AWARD IT UNTIL IT GOES THROUGH THIS LEGAL PROCESS.

>> WE HAD SOMEONE WHO SAID THEY WOULD STILL HONOR THEIR BID?

>> A LOW BIDDER. >>MEMBER ORR: HAS THAT BEEN

REVIEWED AND A SOLID BID? >> IT WAS REVIEWED AND REVIEWERED NOT JUST BY THE STAFF OF FACILITIES, BUT NILLCCHA.

THEY AGREED -- WE HAD LANGUAGE IN THERE BECAUSE I BELIEVE ASPHALT WITH A WAS A HUGE PIECE. IF YOU ARE DOING GROUNDWORK, ASPHALT, ASPHALT JUMPED TO 144% AT ONE POINT.

WHAT WE HAVE IN THERE IS PHASE ONE IS AN AMOUNT CERTAIN, BUT TWO AND THREE IS MARKET. MARKET IS DECREASING THERE.

[01:05:01]

>> KATIE, FOR CLARITY, FOR THE OVERALL AMOUNT BUT SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT MR. MADA LANE BROUGHT UP, WE HAVE ROOM TO

ADDRESS THAT OF A. >> SWITCH WASN'T KIDDING, I WILL HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THEM AND REVIEW IT TO GET ANSWERS TO

THOSE QUESTIONS. >> SO THAT DOESN'T EFFECT THIS

BEING APPROVED TONIGHT? >> NO, IT DOESN'T.

YOU ARE NOT AWARDING ANYTHING RELATED TO THE ACTUAL PHYSICAL

CONSTRUCTION. >> OKAY, THANK YOU.

>> I ECHO YOUR COMMENTS AS WE GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS WE LOOK AT THE EV AREAS, THE CHARGING STATIONS AND ALL THAT.

WE WANT TO BALANCE SOMETHING THAT IS A LONG-TERM FACILITY WITH WHAT IS THE BEST COST RIGHT NOW.

IF WE ANTICIPATE A WORLD THAT WILL SWITCH ALL TO ELECTRIC BUSES, WE NEED TO PUT THEM IN. IF NOT, A LOT OF THINGS DONE WITH DIESEL RIGHT NOW AND NOT GOING TO ENDS UP THAT WAY, THAT MAYBE WE DON'T SPEND THE MONEY ON THAT.

I LIKE HAVING THE ALTERNATE THERE, BUT AT THE TIME OF AWARD, IT SEEMS LIKE WE CAN MAKE A DECISION ON THAT.

>> I THINK FOR THE BOARD'S BENEFIT, WE -- WE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING AT WHAT ARE OUR NONSTRATEGIC COSTS THAT WE CAN LOWER. FUEL IS ONE OF THOSE BECAUSE WE HAVE TO SPEND FOR IT, BUT WE DON'T WANT TO PAY MORE THAN WE NEED TO. IF IT IS FUEL, ENERGY.

I KNOW A LOT OF DATA THAT WE CAN BRING BACK ABOUT W459 BENEFITS ARE.. THE REPLACEMENT OF BUSES ARE GOVERNED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION IN THIS STATE.

WE HAVE TO KEEP BUSES 12 YEARS. WE DON'T LIKE TO KEEP THEM MORE THAN 12. BECAUSE WHEN WE DO THAT, ZACK HAS TO DO TWO INSPECTION AS YEAR INSTEAD OF ONE BY INDIANA STATE POLICE. WE DON'T HAVE AN INDOOR FACILITY. WE HAVE AN OUTDOOR FACILITY.

YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED, YOU MIGHT NOT.

WE HAVE A COMMUNITY THAT IS VERY AWARE AND THEY WILL CALL AND SAY THE BUS HAS RUST ON IT. THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS 14 YEARS OLD AND CENTRAL INDIANA WHAT WE HAVE, SNOW, SALT AND ALL THIS THAT FUN STUFF.

BECAUSE OF OUR FLEET SIZE. AND WE ARE LOOKING AT ALTERNATIVES. ELECTRIC WILL NOT BE THE DISTANCE. WE ARE NOT SENDING THEM TWO HOURS AWAY. IT IS ABOUT THE LOCAL ROUTES AND MORE DAY THAT THAT WE CAN BRING FOR DISCUSSION, BUT I THINK THERE WILL BE A BALANCE AS MORE WHAT ZACK WAS LOOKING FOR IN THE

LONG TERM. >> ALSO IN THESE PLANS THAT WE HAVE, THIS ISN'T TO BUILD THE ELECTRIC STATION AS AND JUST TO

ROUGH ENDS. >> LIKE ROUGHING IN THE BASEMENT. THANK YOU.

>> I WILL MOTION. >> DO YOU WANT ME TO REVIEW THE RESOLUTIONS FIRST OR AFTER, MOTIONS I MEAN?

>>MEMBER LANG: QUICKLY. >> YES, MA'AM.

THE PROJECT RESOLUTION IS REQUIRED WHEN SCHOOL CORPORATION IS PLANNING TO SPEND MORE THAN $1 MILLION ON A GIVEN FACILITY.

HARD AND SOFT CONSTRUCTION COST AND COST OF ISSUANCE AND ESTABLISHES TO THE TOTAL PROJECT COST AND ESTIMATED TAX IMPACT.

THE DETERMINATION RESOLUTION IS REQUIRED WHEN THE SCHOOL IS PLANNING TO FINANCE MORE OF CERTAIN THRESHOLDS IN A CASE BY $28 MILLION. CONTAINS THE TO HE TALL PROJECT COST, MAXIMUM PAYMENT AND LEASE TERM AND OTHER FINANCIAL TERMS SUCH AS THE ESTIMATED PRINCIPAL AND TAX IMPACT.

THE PRELIMINARY BOND RESOLUTION HAVE THE PROJECT BOND COST FOR MAXIMUM INTEREST RATES AND THE FINANCIAL TERMS FOR INTEREST AND MATURITY STATES ON THE BONDS. AND LAST IS THE REIMBURSEMENT RESOLUTION. TO REIMBURSE OURSELVES WITH COSTS RELATED TO CONSTRUCTION IN ADVANCE OF THE BOND ISSUANCE.

>>MEMBER LANG: WONDERFUL. THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT.

SOME INPUT FROM VARIOUS BOARD MEMBERS THAT WE WANT TO GET THAT PASSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. JUST A LITTLE BIT OF WORDSMITHING STILL TO GO WITH THAT, BUT THE REST OF THEM, IF WE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION. I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO PASS ALL THE REST OF THESE OTHER THAN J 0 #.11.

WE CURRENTLY HAVE A WORK SESSION ON THAT MORNING.

AND I NOTICED IN OUR NOTES THAT THEY ARE CUTTING THAT MEETING SHORT TO 8:50 FOR THE POLICY REASON.

A REASON WE ARE NOT MOVING THE POLICY MEETING TO 9 K 30 TO HAVE

A FULL WORK SESSION? >> THE POLICY MEETING STARTS AT 7:30, IS THAT NOT CORRECT? OH, WE ARE HAVING IT AFTER?

OKAY. >> MY COMMENT IS, WE HAVE A WORK SESSION THAT WILL BE REVIEWING RFPS.

A LEGAL WORK SESSION. AND MY RECOMMENDATION THAT WE USE THE FULL WORK SESSION TYPICALLY IN AT LEAST THE TWO YEARS I HAVE BEEN ON BOARD. MOST OF OUR WORK SESSIONS ARE BLOCKED OUT FOR TWO HOURS. BEING THIS IS AN IMPORTANT MEETING, I AM RECOMMENDING THAT WE HAVE A FULL TWO HOURS ON THAT MEETING. AND MAYBE BUMP THAT POLICY MEETING TO 9:30. SO JUST -- FRIENDLY

RECOMMENDATION. >>MEMBER ORR: I WOULD AGREE IF THAT IS ALL POSSIBLE. I WOULD AGREE THAT RPP FOR LEGAL IS REALLY IMPORTANT AND WE WILL NEED THE FULL TIME.

[01:15:01]

THINK IT WILL BE GREAT. >>MEMBER LANG: I WILL WORK WITHED A TO SEE IF WE CAN ACCOMMODATE THAT BASE ON THE AVAILABILITY OF THE ROOMS THAT ARE USED BACK TO BACK AND WE

[7. Board President]

>>MEMBER LANG: MOVING CONTINUE TO SECTION 7, BOARD HSE PRESIDENT UPDATE #.01. SO I WANTED TO UPDATE ON COMMITTEES. I NEED TO GET DENISE A PRINTOUT SO YOU ALL HAVE IT. FOCUSING ON THE POLICY MEETING.

SARAH DONSBACH IS ON THE COMMITTEE, LANG MYSELF.

IF. >>MEMBER THOMAS: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOR FISHER IS BEN ORR.

WE WILL MAKE TIME IN OUR BOARD MEETING SO THEY CAN DO A SHORT UPDATE. ALSO I WANT TO NOTE THAT THE BOARD HAD AN EXECUTIVE MEETING ON THE 17TH EARLIER THIS MONTH WITH AT THAT GOAL OF DOING STRATEGY AND FOCUS AS A BOARD.

AS WE CAME OUT OF THIS MEETING, ONE OF THE STRATEGIC IMPERATIVES THAT WE IDENTIFIED IS ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE AND WHAT DOES THAT TRULY MEAN. IDENTIFYING THREE VALUE STATEMENTS STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT, FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY AND POLICY WERE THE KEY AREAS OF FOCUS.

WE WILL RECONVENE IS A SECOND SESSION TO DIVE DEEP NEAR THAT, TO LOOK INTO WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE CLEARLY DEFINING AND IDENTIFYING HOW WE KNOW WE HAVE ACHIEVED THESE MET THINGS AND HOW WE GET THERE AND WE WILL WORK WITH ADMINISTRATION ON THOSE. ALSO WANTED TO NOTE THERE IS A RFP FOR LEGAL SERVICES POSTED ON OUR HSE WEB SITE.

THE PUBLIC NOTICE IS POSTED AND DUE -- EXPIRES THIS FRIDAY AT 4:30 P.M. INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE ONLINE, ACCESSIBLE FOR DOWN LOAD. WE WILL BE HOLDING A SEPARATE WORK SESSION ON NEXT WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1 TO ADDRESS THESE PROPOSALS IN REVIEW. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN SITTING IN AND LISTENING, YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO DO SO.

IT IS A PUBLIC MEETING. ALSO I WANTED TO DISCUSS AND ADDRESS SOME OF THE ISSUES REGARDING SOME FIGHTING IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT HAPPENED RECENTLY.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE NOTE THAT WE RECOGNIZE THE FEEDBACK THAT WE RECEIVE FROM THE PUBLIC. WE DON'T CONDONE ANY PHYSICAL FIGHTING IN OUR SCHOOLS AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE FOLLOWING POLICY AND PROCEDURE. AND I YIELD TO MR. ORR WHO ALSO

WANTED TO SPEAK ON THAT. >>MEMBER ORR: THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT, AND I THINK -- I WILL SIMPLY READ THROUGH SOME OF THE EXISTING GUIDELINES IN OUR STUDENT HANDBOO CAN TO MAKE THE PUBLIC AND OUR ADMINISTRATION AWARE OF WHAT IS ALREADY EXISTING. THESE ARE EXISTING THINGS IN THE STUDENT HANDBOOKS. I AM READING DIRECTLY FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL VERSION, BUT THEY ARE VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL THROUGH ALL THE GRADE LEVELS. STUDENTS WILL COMPLY WITH THE DIRECTIVES OF TEACHERS OR OTHER SCHOOL PERSONNEL WHEN THE STUDENT IS PROPERLY UNDER THEIR SUPERVISION.

[8. Superintendent's Report]

>>MEMBER LANG: THANKS, SUZANNE. DR. STOKES, UPDATE ON

SUPERINTENDENT REPORT. >>SUPERINTENDENT STOKES: THANK YOU. I DID WANT TO TALK ABOUT OUR CALENDAR. IF YOU CAN PULL THAT UP FOR ME, PLEASE. AS MANY OF YOU ARE AWARE, WE DID EXERCISE STUDENTS FLEXIBILITY. AND WE DID NOT HAVE SCHOOL TODAY BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER. SO IF YOU WOULD LOOK ON OUR CALENDAR, WE ARE GOING TO BE MAKING CHANGES -- CAN YOU GO TO THE LITTLE PART ON THE BOTTOM THAT SHOWS THE FEBRUARY 21.

WE BUILT INTO OUR CALENDAR SOME FLEX DAYS.

SO IF YOU LOOK AT FEBRUARY 21, IT WILL NOW READ MAKE-UP SCHOOL DAYS ON OUR CALENDAR DUE TO 1/25/23 BECAUSE TODAY WAS A SNOW

[01:25:02]

IF WE DO NOT HAVE ANOTHER WINTER RELATED DAY, THAT WILL BE A NO SCHOOL DAY AS NEEDED. SO WE BUILT THOSE IN.

SO I WANT EVERYONE TO MARK THEIR CALENDARS THAT FEBRUARY 21 IS A SCHOOL DAY. IT IS NOT OPTIONAL ANYMORE.

AND WE WILL UPDATE ON OUR WEB SITE AS WELL.

SO THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO REMIND US ALL IS THAT AS WE ALL KNOW, FEBRUARY IS WHAT IS DETERMINED AS BLACK HISTORY MONTH, SO THERE WILL BE VARIOUS ACTIVITIES AROUND AND THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT AND PERFORMANCES BY STUDENTS.

SO FEEL FREE TO JOIN. THE ONLY OTHER THING I WANTED TO SHARE TO THE -- THANK YOU, MR. ORR FOR READING INFORMATION ABOUT OUR STUDENT HANDBOOKS. OUR ADMINISTRATORS WORK DAILY TO HELP OUR YOUNG ONES FOLLOW OUR SCHOOL RULES.

WE DO KNOW THEY ARE NOT PERFECT. THAT THEY DO MAKE MISTAKES, BUT NEITHER ARE WE. WE ARE ADULTS AND WE TEND TO MAKE MISTAKES. WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR JOB IS TO CME AROUND STUDENTS AND HELP THEM FOLLOW THE RULES THAT WE SET IN PLACE.

AND WHEN THEY MANGE MISTAKES AND THEY DON'T FOLLOW THE RULES, WE DO HAVE CONSEQUENCES AND WE FOLLOW THOSE CONSEQUENCES TO HELP THEM, ONE, BE GOOD STEWARDS OF THEIR LEARNING ENVIRONMENT AND TWO, TO HELP THEM UNDERSTAND IN LIFE THERE ARE NATURAL CONSEQUENCES WHEN RULES ARE VIOLATED.

I WANT TO GO ON RECORD SAYING THAT AS ADULTS, WE ARE FIRST AND FOREMOST THE ROLE MODELS FOR OUR STUDENTS AND AS SUCH, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE ARE SHOWING RESPECT FOR AND AMONG EACH OTHER.

I DO WANT TO REMIND THE PUBLIC THAT WHEN YOU APPROACH THE BOARD AND YOU ARE SPEAKING ABOUT OUR STAFF AND THE DISTRICT, PLEASE REFRAIN FROM USING THEIR NAME AS, YOU KNOW, THEY ARE DOING THEIR BEST TO FOLLOW THE RULES AND SUPPORT GUIDELINES.

IF THERE IS A SITUATION WHERE THERE IS A MISUNDERSTANDING OR PERCEIVED MISINFORMATION, GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO DEAL WITH THAT. BUT PLEASE SHOW US THE RESPECT THAT WE ALWAYS SHOW YOU. AND WITH THAT I WANT TO GO INTO THE ACTUAL FEBRUARY 8. IF YOU CAN LOOK AT THE AGENDA FOR FEBRUARY 8. YOU WILL SEE -- I NEVER READ THESE, YOU KNOW THAT. BUT I DO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE OF THINGS. WE HAVE, OF COURSE, THE RFP FOR DISTRICT-WIDE RADIO REPLACEMENT AND WE WILL HAVE THAT AS INFORMATION. 5.02.

I WANTED TO SHOW YOU THAT AND, OF COURSE, WE HAVE A POLICY COMING BACK FOR SECOND READ REGARDING THE SUICIDE AWARENESS AND PREVENTION. I DO WANT TO GO ON RECORD SAYING THIS. ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAD SOME CONVERSATION -- WE WILL HAVE MORE AT THAT MEETING THAT DEAL WITH POLICY ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT PARENTS KNOW THAT WE DO GET THEIR CON STENT BEFORE WE CAN REFER STUDENTS OUT.

AND THEY CAN MAKE A CHOICE TO EXERCISE THAT REQUESTED CONSENT OF SERVICES OR THEY CAN NOT. ULTIMATELY IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, OUR JOB IS TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR STUDENTS HAVE SUPPORTS IN PLACE SO THAT THEIR NEEDS ARE MET.

THERE ARE SITUATIONS WHERE PARENTS MAY DECIDE THAT THEY WANT TO GO AN ALTERNATE RIGHT. THAT IS THEIR RIGHT TO DO THAT.

I HAVE OFTEN SAID THAT PARENTS ARE STUDENTS FIRST TEACHERS THAN YOU ARE. AND WITH THAT BEING SAID, I WILL SAY AGAIN, WE DO SEEK PERMISSION FROM OUR PARENTS BEFORE WE REFER THEM OUT. WE CAN'T EVEN REFER THEM OUT FOR VARIOUS REASONS WITHOUT PARENTS BEING OKAY WITH THAT.

SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE WILL WORK ON THAT POLICY.

WE WILL GET THAT INFORMATION IN THERE THAT PARENTS ARE WANTING SO IT IS CRYSTAL CLEAR, AND THEN WE WILL MOVE FORWARD.

WITH THAT I WILL YIELD BACK TO YO

YOU. >> CAN I ASK A QUICK QUESTION THEN? MADAM PRESIDENT?

>>MEMBER LANG: I YIELD TO SUZANNE.

>> DR. STOKES, ARE YOU SAYING THAT THAT FORM THAT WAS BROUGHT UP EARLIER TONIGHT, THAT HAS -- IT HAS BEEN CHANGED?

>> SO I AM NOT SAYING THAT. WHAT I AM SAYING THAT -- WHAT I AM SAYING IS BECAUSE THE FORM THAT IS BEING SPOKEN OF IS SOMETHING THAT A BUILDING PRINCIPAL LED THE CHARGE FOR, A FORM THAT WAS CREATED WHILE THAT BUILDING PRINCIPAL WAS IN A DIFFERENT DISTRICT WITH THE HELP OF A LAW FIRM AND I WOULD LIKE TO BELIEVE IF A LAW FIRM HELPED TO CREATE THE FORM, THEY FOLLOWED THE LETTER OF THE LAW IN THE CREATION.

WITH THAT BEING SAID THE SUICIDE PREVENTION POLICY IN THAT FORM FOR SUPPORTING A GENDER SUPPORT PLAN WERE NOT IN TANDEM.

THE SUICIDE PREVENTION POLICY IS ABOUT SUICIDE PREVENTION, IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT PARTICULAR FORM.

[01:30:02]

>> CORRECT, BUT I THINK THE POINT BROUGHT UP WAS THAT THERE WAS POINTS ON THAT FORM THAT THERE IS A SPOT IN THERE THAT SAYS STOP AND NOT SHARE INFORMATION WITH PARENTS.

AND I THINK THAT WAS THE CONCERN INTO THE COMMUNITY.

SO I THINK THE COMMENT FROM OUR PUBLIC WAS ASKING, HAS THAT BEEN REVISED WHERE THAT IS NO LONGER PART OF THAT FORM.

OR DO WE NOT USE THAT FORM ANYMORE OR IS THIS SOMETHING THAT MAYBE BOARD PRESIDENT CAN HAVE FURTHER CONVERSATION WITH

YOU ABOUT IT. >>SUPERINTENDENT STOKES: WHAT I CAN SAY IS IF THAT INFORMATION IS IN THE FORM, IT IS FOLLOWING 9 LETTER OF THE LAW, WHAT WE CAN DO -- AND I HAVE NO PROBLEM DOING THIS. WE CAN LOOK AT THE FORM.

AND IF WE NEED TO PUT MORE CLARIFYING LANGUAGE IN THE FORM, ABSOLUTELY. NO PROBLEM.

WE DON'T WANT PARENTS TO BE CONFUSED.

I THINK SOMETIMES WHERE PEOPLE -- AND I DARE I SAY IN THE MOST RESPECTFUL WAY, WHERE PEOPLE'S FEATHERS GET RILED, THEY THINK WE ARE HIDING SOMETHING. I NEVER WILL BE A SUPERINTENDENT WHO TRIES TO HIDE ANYTHING FROM ANY PARENT.

WE ALWAYS EVEN IN SITUATIONS THAT DEAL WITH GENDER IDENTITY, THE FIRST THING THAT OUR COUNSELORS ASK OUR STUDENTS IS ARE YOUR PARENTS AWARE ABOUT THE CHOICES THAT YOU ARE MAKING.

AND HOW CAN I HELP YOU HELP YOUR PARENT IF THEY ARE NOT.

I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DID NOT SAY ARE THERE TIMES IN SITUATION WHERE IS MAYBE SOME KIND OF DANGER THAT COULD BE A CPS REPORT HAS BEEN EXPRESSED, AND I THINK THAT MAYBE WHAT THAT FORM IS REFERRING TO WHERE YOU WOULDN'T THEN AUTOMATICALLY, YOU KNOW, SAY SOMETHING. YOU MIGHT HAVE TO CONTACT CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES. YOU HAVE TO AIR ON THE SAFETY OF THE CHILD. BUT LIKE I SAID I AM WILLING AND I AM HAPPY TO LOOK AT THE FORM. WE CAN REVISIT IT.

WE DON'T NEED A COMMITTEE TO REVES SIT IT.

BUT WE CAN REVISIT THE FORM. WE CAN LOOK AT IT AND MAKE SURE, ONE, IT FOLLOWS 9 LETTER OF THE LAW.

TWO, IT KEEPS THE SHIELD SAFE. AND THREE, WE ARE ASKING PARENTS WHAT TO DO AND NOT TO DO. I WILL GO ON RECORD SAYING THIS AS WELL, IF IT IS A RECOMMENDATION THAT A CHILD HAVE SERVICES BEYOND OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT AND A PARENT REFUSES THAT. THAT IS THEIR RIGHT.

BUT I WANT PARENTS TO KNOW THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO EXERCISE THAT, BUT IF A CHILD CONTINUES TO EXHIBIT BEHAVIORS THAT ARE A DANGER TO THE CHILD OR A DANGER TO OTHERS OR GRAVELY DISABLED, THERE COULD BE A CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES REPORT.

BECAUSE AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT, WITH HE TO SUPPORT THAT CHILD AS WELL AS EVERY OTHER CHILD THAT IS AROUND.

SO THINK ABOUT THAT. DANGER TO SELF.

DANGER TO OTHERS. SO WE ARE MORE THAN HAPPY -- I WILL TELL YOU WE WILL DO THAT. WE WILL LOOK AT IT.

MAKE THE FORM BETTER SO THERE WON'T BE ANGST ABOUT IT.

>> THANK YOU FOR THE CLARITY. >>MEMBER LANG: WITH THAT WE ARE ADJO ADJOURNING.

WE ARE NOW COMING BACK AROUND SO WE HAVE MORE.

[10. Board of Finance]

KATE TEST DOWLING. WE WILL NOW OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. REMEMBER IF YOU LIKE TO SPEAK, LIMIT YOUR COMMENTS TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT.

KEEP ANY COMMENTS TO THREE MINUTES.

KATY GETS TO SPEAK FIRST AND THEN I GET TO TALK AFTER YOU.

>> THE PUBLIC -- THIS IS THE BOARD OF FINANCE FOR THE SCHOOL CORPORATION. SO WE ARE REQUIRED EACH YEAR TO HOLD A MEETING OF THE BOARD OF FINANCE.

REQUIREMENTS IN THE STATUTE OF WHAT IT IS THAT WE HAVE TO COVER AT THAT TIME. SOME -- SORRY, I AM LOOKING -- SO YOU CALLED THE MEETING TO ORDER.

I THINK I MENTIONED IN THE DOCUMENT THERE IS A RECOMMENDATION OF OFFICERS THAT COMES FROM THE BODY.

HISTORICALLY IT HAS BEEN THE BOARD OFFICERS.

THAT IS NOT REQUIRED. THAT HAS BEEN THE PAST PRACTICE AND MRS. MADISON WILL REPORT ON INVESTMENTS.

I WILL REPORT ON FISCAL INDICATORS AND REQUEST YOU TO AUTHORIZE A RESOLUTION TO INVEST FOR THE YEAR.

LITTLE BIT OF HOUSEKEEPING I WOULD SAY AND THEN WE WILL

ADJOURN. >>MEMBER LANG: CALLING THIS MEETING TO ORDER. SUBJECT 10.02, RECOMMENDATION OF OFFICERS FOR THE BOARD OF FINANCE.

>>MEMBER DONSBACH: I MOVE TO APPROVE THE BOARD OF FINANCE

OFFICERS. >>MEMBER LANG: THERE A SECOND?

>>MEMBER ORR: I WILL SECOND. >>MEMBER ORR: YES.

>>MEMBER DONSBACH: YES. >>MEMBER LANG: YES.

>>MEMBER ALBRIGHT: YES. >>MEMBER PARKS-REESE: YES.

>>MEMBER THOMAS: YES. >>MEMBER PASCOE: YES.

[01:35:03]

>>MEMBER LANG: VOTE PASSES 7-0. SUBJECT 10.03, REPORT ON INVESTMENTS AND FISCAL INDIC

INDICATORS. >> THIS GRAPH ILLUSTRATES OUR DAILY CASH BALANCE FOR 2022. THE SPIKES EACH MONTH IS WHEN WE RECEIVED OUR BASIC GRANT. AND THEN YOU WILL SEE SPIKES IN MAY AND JUNE THAT RELATE TO THOSE PROPERTY TAX DISTRIBUTIONS THAT I SPOKE ABOUT EARLIER WITH TEMPORARY LOANS.

WE MAKE OUR DEBT PAYMENTS AT THE END OF JUNE.

SO YOU WILL SEE A LITTLE BIT OF A DIP AS WELL.

GO ON, JEFF. SO WE USED T BILLS AS A BENCHMARK FOR INVESTMENTS AND ALLOWABLE INVESTMENT FOR PUBLIC FUNDS. LOOKING AT 2022, THE AVERAGE RATE FOR THE WAS 2.9% AND WE WERE ART 2.16 WITH OUR INTEREST BEARING CHECKING ACCOUNT. OUR INTEREST RATES AT TCU IS BASED ON A TIER SYSTEM AND BALANCE OF ALL ACCOUNTS INCLUDING INDIVIDUAL BUILDINGS. WE ARE CURRENTLY IN THE TOP TIER THAT IS EFFECTIVE FEDERAL FUND RATE PLUS SIX BASIS POINTS.

AND MONITOR THESE RATES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND CAN INVEST IN CDS IF WE ARE ABLE TO FIND A HIGHER RATE.

I WILL SAY THAT HAS NOT BEEN 79 CASE THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS.

THIS GRAPH JUST ILLUSTRATES OUR INTEREST INCOME.

OBVIOUSLY WITH 2020 AND THE PANDEMIC, IT DIPPED DOWN, BUT WE ARE LOOKING REALLY GOOD SINCE 2008.

AT THE HIGHEST WE HAVE BEEN. THIS IS A LIST OF DEPOSITORIES IN OUR AREA APPROVED BY THE INDIANA BOARD OF DEPOST STORIES.

AND I WILL LET YOU GO AHEAD WITH THE FISCAL AND I WILL COME BACK TO APPROVING THE LIST. THE LINK IN THE DEFINITION TAKES THE BOARD OR THE PUBLIC TO THE ACTUAL FISCAL INDICATORS WEB SITE SO YOU CAN SEE IT FOR YOURSELF IF THE PUBLIC WANTED TO GO THROUGH IT. CORPORATION FISCAL INDICATORS CAME ABOUT WHEN WE STARTED TO SEE DISTRESSED PUBLIC UNITS, FINANCIALLY DISTRESS AND AND THE DISTRESSED UNIT APPEALS BOARD.

SO THERE WERE, YOU KNOW, ISSUE THERE IS AND AS A RESULT OF THAT, THEY CREATED FISCAL INDICATORS THAT ARE DESIGNED FOR TO YOU DEMONSTRATE TO THE PUBLIC THAT YOU ARE MONITORING THE FACTORS THAT THEY HAVE DETERMINED SPEAK TO YOUR FINANCIAL HEALTH OR LACK THEREOF.

I AM GLAD TO SAY WE DON'T HAVE A LACK THEREOF.

THAT'S WHY THEY ARE THERE AND REQUIRED TO GO THROUGH THESE IN THE BOARD OF FINANCE MEETING EACH YEAR.

AND THIS IS THE SINGLE LARGEST REVENUE DRIVER FOR THE EDUCATION FUND. OUR GROWTH IS FLAT AND ABOUT HE MONITOR THAT CLOSELY IN COMPLETION.

WE HAVE A DEMOGRAPHICS STUDY AND COMPLETE RESTUDY AND DO AN UPDATE ANNUALLY BASED ON OUR ACCOUNTS AND IN LINE WITH WHAT THOSE PROJECTIONS WERE. ON THE NEXT SHIED, OUR FUND BALANCES. ISN'T THAT ALL GREAT, A BUNCH OF LINES, YEAH, I KNOW, YOU CAN SEE TRYING TO SORT THIS.

THEY REALLY KIND OF GROUP EVERYTHING TOGETHER AND REALLY HARD TO TELL WHAT -- WHAT REALLY MATTERS.

YOU CAN SEE THEY ARE PRETTY STATIC, SO I DECIDED TO HIGHLIGHT ON THE NEXT SLIDE CAPITAL BECAUSE THE ONE COULD YOU SEE REALLY GREW. AND SO THAT IS A YEAR WE ISSUED -- KEEPING IN MIND FIZZ DAL INDICATORS FOR YEAR 2021.

QUITE IS DELAY IN THE INFORMATION.

THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN AROUND THE DEER CREEK ELEMENTARY BONDS WERE ISSUED AND YOU SEE THE HUGE AMOUNT OF CAPITAL INCREASE MORE THAN -- I THINK IT IS 70% OF THE INCREASE IN THE FUND BALANCE WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO CASH FUNDS AND CAPITAL PRETTY MUCH THE DRIVER OF THAT FOR YOUR INFORMATION. NEXT, I BROKE OUT BASICALLY THE TOTAL FUND BALANCES SO YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK AT HOW THEY HAVE GOON UP, AGAIN, INCLUDING THE CAPITAL FUNDS AND REALLY THE DRIVER BY AND LARGE OF ABOUT 70% -- 65% TO 70% OF THE CREASES AS A RESULT OF BONDS BEING ISSUED AND BECAUSE WE ARE ISSUING MORE DEBT YOU WILL SEE THAT AND REPAYING IT EVERY YEAR AND HOPEFULLY THAT WILL LEVEL OFF. THE NEXT LEAD IS IS ANNUAL DEFICIT SURPLUS. WE ARE IN SUR.

WE ARE NOT OPERATING IN DEFICIT. NEW THIS YEAR THE ORANGE AND RED LINES RETCH KNEW AND EXPENDITURE EXCEPTIONS.

I HAD TO CALL AND ASK THEM WHAT IS THAT? I NEVER SEEN IT. THEY SAID YOUR TRANSFERS AND SAYS EXCEPTIONS CAN BE TRANSFERS FROM ONE FUND OR THE OTHER AND 'JUSTING ENTRIES. WE DO HAVE THOSE THINGS AND WE

[01:40:03]

WE SUPPORT TRANSFERS ACCEPT RANTLY.

MANY YEARS AGO ISSUES WHERE IS PEOPLE WERE TRANSFERRING MONEY IN TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THEY WERE BALANCE AND REALLY THEY WEREN'T. WE HAVE TO REPORT TRANSFERS ON A SEPARATE ACCOUNTING LINE. NEXT SLIDE IS FUND BALANCE AS A PERCENT OF EXPENDITURES. YOU CAN SEE IT SHOWS US 21.1%.

I WILL POINT OUT THIS DOES INCLUDE RAINY DAY FUNDS WHICH I THINK IS A LITTLE BIT MISLEADING BECAUSE NOT AN EXPENDITURE DRIVEN FUND AND WE USE IT TO LOAN OUT AND SUB FOR CONSTRUCTION EXPENSES BUT THAT NUMBER HAS BEEN RELATIVELY -- IF YOU TAKE THAT OUT, SIMILAR TO PRIOR YEARS.

NEXT IS THE REVENUE BY TYPE. SO AT THE VERY, VERY TOP THERE IS A SUPER FINE LINE WHICH IS THE FEDERAL STIMULUS REVENUE.

I WOULD REMIND EVERYONE, WE HAVE NOT FUND THE PERMANENT POSITIONS OUT OF NONPERMANENT FUNDS. WE DO NOT HAVE PERMANENT POSITIONS BUILT INTO THE FUND THAT WE RECEIVED.

I THINK YOU CAN SEE -- THE BLUE IS THE STATE REVENUE.

I THINK WE ALL KNOW WE ARE VERY DEPENDENT ON THAT IN THE EDUCATION FUND AND THE NEXT BIGGEST CHUNK IS YOUR LOCAL TAX REVENUE. A THOUGHT YOU WOULD DIVERSIFY YOUR REVIEW. WE DON'T HAVE THAT FREEDOM.

WE DON'T HAVE TIF ALLOCATION. WE DON'T HAVE NORTH CAROLINA TAXES. WE DON'T HAVE THOSE THINGS AND PRETTY STANDARD AND ARE NOT SEEING A FLUCTUATION YEAR TO YEAR WHAT WE GET. THE FEDERAL STIMULUS, AGAIN NOT A CONCERN FOR US BECAUSE WE ARE NOT USING ON RECURRING EXPENSES.

MY LAST SLIDE IS THE OPERATING REFERENDUM AS REVENUE IS PERCENT OF TOTAL REVENUES AND YOU CAN SEE IT COMES OUT AT JUST 8%.

IT IS TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE REFERENDUM ITSELF AS WELL AS OPERATIONS AND EDUCATION FOR THAT 8% NUMBER IS WHERE IT COMES FROM. ITCH KNOW I WENT THROUGH THAT

VERY FAST. >> QUICK QUESTION, THE FEDERAL REVENUE, WAS THAT REALLY FOCUSED MORE LIKE THE COVID-19 FUNDING AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE TO ENSURE THAT BUILDINGS WERE

BROUGHT UP -- >> THE FEDERAL STIMULUS REVENUE WAS SPECIFIC TO COVID. THE FEDERAL REVENUE THAT WAS RIGHT BELOW IT DINED OF A YELLOWISH-BROWN, THAT THE RECURRENT FEDERAL REVENUE THAT WE RECEIVED.

THE PART B FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION.

TITLE 12, 2, 3, 4, 7, 12. NOT NONRECURRING FUNDS I GUESS I

WOULD SAY. >>MEMBER LANG: THANK YOU FOR

CLARIFYING IT. >> THAT ENDS MY SESSION AND STEPHANIE WILL ASK FOR YOUR APPROVAL.

>> WE HAVE THREE ACTION ITEMS TONIGHT.

IF APPROVE THE LIST OF DEPOST TORIES THAT WERE UP THERE EARLIER. JEFF, TO YOU CARE TO GO UP TO THAT? TWO RESOLUTIONS FOR YOUR APPROVAL. ONE ALLOWS US TO OOP INVEST IN CDS. TO ENSURE THAT OUR CDS ARE INSURED BY THE PUBLIC DEPOSIT FUND.

NEW THIS YEAR IS THE BENEFIT TRUST RESOLUTION THAT ALLOWS FOR INVESTMENTS OF THE BENEFIT TRUST ACCOUNT WHICH IS OUR SELF-INSURANCE FUND. THIS IS NEW THIS YEAR AND HOSTED AT FIFTH THIRD BANK AND THEY HAVE BECOME A NATIONAL BANK AND HAVE STRICTER AND WOULD LIKE TO ADD THIS FOR THEIR COMPLIANCE

PROCEDURES. >>MEMBER LANG: ANY QUESTIONS? DISCUSSION? ASK FOR A MOTION.

>>MEMBER DONSBACH: I MOVE TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTIONS OF AS

PRESENTED. >> SECOND.

>>MEMBER ORR: YES. >>MEMBER DONSBACH: YES.

>>MEMBER LANG: YES. >>MEMBER ALBRIGHT: YES.

>>MEMBER PARKS-REESE: YES. >>MEMBER THOMAS: YES.

>>MEMBER PASCOE: YES. IF DONE DONE FIRST.

>>MEMBER PARKS-REESE: SECONDED IT.

PASSED 7-0. THANK YOU.

AND THIS IS ALL. SO WE ARE ADJOURNING NOW OUR
