FOR THE RECORD, CHRIS GREISL, I JUST PLAN ON GOING THROUGH SOME OF THE BASIC TERMS OF THE ADDENDUM FUR TONIGHT AND THAT'S IN THE REGULAR TEACHER'S CONTRACT BEFORE YOU OPEN UP TO THE STATUETORIAL REQUIRED PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN APPROVAL.
SO TONIGHT'S AGREEMENT THAT'S BEFORE YOU, IS FOR A THREE-YEAR CONTRACT. FROM APRIL 29TH,2026 CONCLUDING ON APRIL 29TH 2029. THE CONTRACT TERM HAS A PROVISION IN THERE FOR AN AUTOMATIC EXTENSION BEGINNING DECEMBER 31 OF 2027 AND THEN AGAIN EACH SUCCESSIVE DECEMBER 31 THEREAFTER UNLESS A PARTY GIVES NOTICE PRE SEEDING DECEMBER 31ST.

OPENING FOR PUBLIC HEARING? >> GOOD EVENING.
TYLER ZERBEY HSCA PRESIDENT. I AM HERE TONIGHT TO SPEAK ON THE SUPERINTENDANT CONTRACT THAT WILL BE PRESENTED.
HSCA WELCOMES THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH DR. KEGLEY AS SUPER INTENDANT OF HAMILTON SOUTHEASTERN SCHOOLS.
HE HAS BEEN PART OF THIS SCHOOL COMMUNITY FOR MANY YEARS.
MAKING HIS WAY FROM ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL ALL THE WAY TO CENTRAL OFFICE. HE IS SOMEONE WITH WHOM UNION LEADERSHIP HAS HISTORICALLY HAD COLLABORATION AND COLLOQUIALITY AND ONE WE FEEL WANTS TO BE SUPPORTIVE OF STUDENTS AND TEACHERS ALIKE. THAT BEING SAID, IT IS DIFFICULT TO OVERLOO THE LAST 26 MONTHS HERE AT HSC.
HOWEVER, WE ARE OPTIMIST TOCK WE CAN CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD TOGETHER. WE ARE HOPEFUL THAT WITH HIS HIRING BRINGS THE RETIGER OF HIS CURRENT DEPUTY SUPER INTENDANT ROLE ALLOWING FOR THE FIRST OF MANY COST SAVING MOVES
[00:05:01]
AT CENTRAL OFFICE AS OPPOSED TO CUTTING COSTS THROUGH ADDITIONAL TEACHER LAY-OFFS. FURTHER MORE WE ACKNOWLEDGE AND APPRECIATE THE SHIFT IN TONE OVER THE PAST MONTH AND WE HOPE THAT IT WILL CONTINUE. WE KNOW THAT HSCA AND ADMINISTRATION WILL NOT ALWAYS SEE EYE TO EYE BUT WE HOPE THAT A RELATIONSHIP BUILT ON ROPTING TEACHER VOICE CAN ONCE AGAIN BE SEEN AT CENTRAL OFFICE. MOVING FORWARD, HSCA WOULD ALSO LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO ADVOCATE FOR A BOARD POLICY THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR AN OPEN SEARCH AND HIRING PROCESS OF OUR SUPER INTENDANT. AS WE HAVE COME TO LEARN THE ROLE OF SUPER INTENDANT INVOLVES RELATIONSHIPS WITH MULTIPLE STAKEHOLDERS. TEACHERS, SUPPORT STAFF.BUILDING AND CENTRAL OFFICE ADMINISTRATION IN AND OUT OF DISTRICT PARENTS AND FAMILIES. COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND LOCAL LEADERS. WHEN THOSE RELATIONSHIPS AREN'T BUILT OR RESPECTED, THE ENTIRE DISTRICT SUFFERS.
FOR THAT REASON, WE FEEL IT IS CRUCIAL THAT THE SUPER INTENDANT IS CHOSEN BASED ON ENGAGEMENT AND INPUT FROM ALL OF THOSE STAKEHOLDERS. FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH, WE ARE GRATEFUL DR. KEGLEY HAS BAN KEY MEMBER IN THIS DISTRICT ALREADY AND HAS ESTABLISHED AND MAINTAIN MANIED OF THOSE IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIPS. TO DR. KEGLEY, CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR APPOINTMENT AS SUPERINTENDENT.
WE ARE HOPEFUL FOR THE FUTURE THAT WILL HOLD AND EMBRACE OPPORTUNITIES TO ALLOW US TO GROW STRONGER AND MORE UNITED AS A DISTRICT AND SCHOOL COMMUNITY TOGETHER.
ANY FURTHER COMMENTS? CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING.
DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE SUPERINTENDENT'S CONTRACT
AS PRESENTED? >> I MOVE TO SUPPORT THE SUPERINTENDENT CONTRACT AS PRESENTED.
THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD? WE'LL GO IN ORDER.
SUZANNE THOMAS? >> JUST KIDDING.
YES. >> FOR QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?
OKAY. >> NO QUESTION OR OR COMMENT.
>> OKAY SARAH PARKS REESE? >> NO QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS.
>> DR. ALBRIGHT? >> TONIGHT'S DECISION IS AN IMPORTANT ONE. AND I TAKE IT SERIOUSLY.
NOT JUST AS A BOARD MEMBER, BUT AS SOMEONE WHO IS DEEPLY INVESTED IN THE LONG-TERM OF OUR SCHOOLS AND OUR COMMUNITY.
WHILE WE MAY NOT AGREE ON EVERY ISSUE, I BELIEVE WE CAN AGREE ON THE NEED FOR STABILITY, STRONG LEADERSHIP AND A CLEAR FOCUS ON STUDENTS. MATT KEGLEY BRINGS A DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF THIS DISTRICT, ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIPS AND A STEADY HAND AT A TIME WHEN CONSISTENCY MATTERS.
I VALUE ACCOUNTABILITY, LOCAL LEADERSHIP AND RESULTS.
I BELIEVE DR. KEGLEY IS WELL POSITIONED TO DELIVER ON THOSE PRINCIPALS WHILE HELPING MOVE OUR DISTRICT FORWARD IN A PRACTICAL STUDENT-CENTRED WAY. THIS VOTE IS ABOUT PROVIDING OUR SCHOOLS WITH LEADERSHIP THAT CAN UNIFY, STABILIZE AND FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS MOST. STUDENTS' SUCCESS.
FOR THOSE REASONS, I WILL BE SUPPORTING DR. KEGLEY AS OUR NEXT SUPER INTENDANT. THANK YOU.
>> LATRICA SCHOOLING. >> MATT, YOU STEPPED UP AT OUR INTERIM SUPER INTENDENT WHEN WE NEEDED YOU.
YOU KNOW OUR STAFF AND I GENUINELY VALUE THE LEADERSHIP YOU BRING TO THE TABLE. BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN YOUR LEADERSHIP AND THE FUTURE OF OUR SCHOOLS MY VOTE WILL REFLECT THAT. I EXPECT MOVING FORWARD THE ENTIRE BOARD WILL BE INCLUDED IN ALL DISCUSSIONS AND DECISIONS FROM THE VERY BEGINNING.
TRUE TRANSPARENCY AND EFFECTIVE GOVERNANCE REQUIRE THE INSIGHT OF EVERY ELECTED TRUSTEE. NOT JUST A SELECT FU IF YOU.
MATT, I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING TOGETHER AND I LOOK FORWARD TONE SURING WE REMAIN THE BEST POSSIBLE STEWARDS OF THIS
COMMUNITY'S TRUST. >> BEN ORR?
>> TONIGHT WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE AN IMPORTANT AND POSITIVE STEP FOR OUR DISTRICT BY APPOINTING DR. MATT KEGLEY AS SUPERINTENDENT.
HE BRINGS EXPERIENCE, STABILITY AND THE DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF THIS DISTRICT THAT CANNOT BE REPLICATED.
HE HAS SERVED OUR SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY IN MULTIPLE ROLES OVER THE YEARS FROM BUILDING LEADERSHIP TO DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION. AND HAS CONSISTENTLY DEMONSTRATED THOUGHTFUL STEADY LEADERSHIP.
HE KNOWS OUR STUDENTS, OUR STAFF, OUR FAMILIES, HE'S ALREADY EARNED THEIR TRUST. THAT KIND OF CONTINUITY MATTERS. ESPECIALLY AT A TIME WHEN MANY DISTRICTS ARE FACING DISRUPTION.
WE'RE IN A POSITION TO MOVE FORWARD WITH CONFIDENCE.
I ALSO WANT TO BRIEFLY ADDRESS CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED ABOUT BOTH PROCESS AND COMPENSATION.
THESE ARE IMPORTANT TOPICS AND THEY DESERVE TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. THIS BOARD HAS DONE EXACTLY THAT BY FOLLOWING ALL APPLICABLE LAWS, BOARD POLICIES AND GUIDANCE OF LEGAL COUNCIL THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS.
THE CONTRACT BEFORE US REFLECTS CAREFUL CONSIDERATION AND ALIGNS WITH WHAT WE SEE IN COMPARABLE DISTRICTS.
IN FACT WHEN VIEWED IN THE CONTEXT OF A DISTRICT THIS SIZE AND COMPLEXITY, IT IS CONSERVATIVE.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE LEADER OF A $340 MILLION ORGANIZATION RESPONSIBLE FOR MORE THAN 2,000 EMPLOYEES AND 20,000 STUDENTS.
THAT LEVEL OF RESPONSIBILITY REQUIRES STRONG EXPERIENCED LEADERSHIP. AND IT IS APPROPRIATE THAT COMPENSATION REFLECTS THAT REALITY.
DR. KEGLEY IS WELL DESERVING OF BOTH THE TERMS AND THE VALUE OF
[00:10:02]
THIS CONTRACT. IT IS ALSO WORTH NOTING THAT MANY HAVE RAISED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PROCESS EXPRESSED WHO HAVE RAISED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PROCESS HAS EXPRESSED SUPPORT OF DR. KEGLEY HIMSELF. THAT REFLECTS SHARED UNDERSTANDING THAT HE IS WELL QUALIFIED AND WELL PREPARED TO LEAD THIS DISTRICT. WHERE WE MAY-- WHERE THERE MAY BE DIFFERENCES OF OPINION IS IN HOW WE LOOK AT THE PROCESS.THERE IS CONVERSATION WE CONTINUE TO HAVE BUT SHOULD NOT DISTRACT FROM THE STRENGTH OF THE CANDIDATER TO DECISION IN FRONT OF US TONIGHT. OUR RESPONSIBILITY IS TO ACT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF STUDENTS AND THE LONG-TERM SUCCESS OF THE DISTRICT. I BELIEVE THIS APPOINTMENT DOES
DAWN LANG? >> I'D JUST LIKE TO SAY I SUPPORT DR. KEGLEY IN THIS ROLE FOR SUPERINTENDENT OF OUR DISTRICT. I'VE SERVED ALONGSIDE HIM FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS IN THIS ROLE IN BOARD CAPACITY AND AS A PARENT IN THE COMMUNITY WITH MY OLDER TWO CHILDREN HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE HIM AS THEIR PRINCIPAL AT HAMILTON SOUTHEASTERN SCHOOLS. I KNOW HE STEPPED INTO THIS ROLE IN THE INTERIM ROLE PRIOR TO THIS TWICE.
WITH GRACE, WITH FORTITUDE. AND WITHOUT HESITATION.
AND TAKEN ON TOUGH ROLES, TOUGH SITUATIONS.
AND NOT ONLY WORKING WITH THIS DISTRICT BUT THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE. THIS WILL BE I BELIEVE YOUR THIRD REFERENDUM POTENTIALLY. THAT MAY COME FORWARD.
AND IT IS NOT WITHOUT SAYING THE IMPORTANT ROLE THAT A LEADER OF THIS DISTRICT HAS IN NOT ONLY THE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE WHICH ARE SUBSTANTIAL.
BUT ALSO THE PARENTS, THE TEACHERS AND THE STUDENTS ACROSS THIS DISTRICT. AND HE ABSOLUTELY BRINGS THAT STRONGHOLD FORWARD FOR THIS DISTRICT AND I LOOK FORWARD TO
WORKING WITH HIM GOING FORWARD. >> THANK YOU.
>> AS WE ARRIVE AT THIS IMPORTANT MOMENT IT IS IMPORTANT TO BRIEFLY REFLECT ON THE JOURNEY THAT HAS BROUGHT US HERE. THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS THE BOARD'S HIGHEST PRIORITY HAS BEEN TO ACT WITH BOTH URGENCY AND CARE AND ENSURE CONTINUITY, STABILITY AND STRONG LEADERSHIP FOR OUR DISTRICT. IN THAT SPIRIT I WANT TO SHARE THAT I HAVE PERSONALLY REACHED OUT THE EACH MEMBER OF OUR ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM AS WELL AS EVERY BUILDING LEADER NEARLY 40 INDIVIDUALS IN TOTAL TO LISTEN, GATHER PER SPECTIVE AND ENSURE THE PACT WE ARE TAKING REFLECTS WHAT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF OUR DISTRICT AS A WHOLE. WE ARE ALSO MINDFUL OF THE BROADER CONVERSATION WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY.
WHY THERE HAVE BEEN CONCERNS EXPRESSED, BY SOME REGARDING ADMINISTRATIVE STRUCTURE, PARTICULARLY DURING A TIME OF FISCAL CONSTRAINT, IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE BOARD HAS CONSISTENTLY DEMONSTRATED ITS COMMITMENT TO THOUGHTFUL GOVERNANCE INCLUDING ITS FULL SUPPORT OF ADMINISTRATIVE CONTRACTS AT THE MARCH 11TH MEETING.
WITH THAT CONTEXT, WE ARE PLEASED TO HIGHLIGHT THAT THE AGREEMENT BEFORE US TONIGHT BOTH REFLECTS FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY AND STRATEGIC AWARENESS IN COMPARESEN TO PRIOR STRUCTURES AND BASED ON THE CURRENT ORGANIZATIONAL CONFIGURATION. THE DISTRICT CURRENTLY REALIZING AND ANNUAL SAVINGS OF $280,895.
SAVINGS US THAT WE HAVE BY REMOVING THE DEPUTY SUPER INTENDANT AT ROLE. AND THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SUPERINTENDENT STRUCTURE THAT WE HAVE CURRENTLY.
THAT'S A HUGE SAVINGS. FOR THE SAKE OF TRANSPARENCY I WOULD LIKE TO BRIEFLY REVISIT THE TIMELINE THAT HAS GUIDED US THROUGH THIS PROCESS. ON MARCH 2ND MR. RAIPS FORMALLY ANNOUNCED HIS--. AND MRFRN 11TH DR. KEGLEY APPOINTED DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT.
BOARD CONVENED SESSIONS APRIL 2ND AND AGAIN APRIL 22ND TO CAREFULLY CONSIDER NEXT STEPS. THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS, WE REMAIN COMMITTED TO TRANSPARENCY AND DUE DILIGENCE.
WE THOUGHTFULLY REVIEWED AND RESPONDED TO TWO COUNTERS.
AND ENSURING THAT ALL LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS WERE ADDRESSED AND THE BOARD FEEDBACK WAS INCORPORATED AT EACH STAGE.
THE DELIBERATE APPROACH LED US TO THE AGREEMENT NOW BEFORE US.
AND ALSO DO WANT TO NOTE THAT THERE WAS A REQUEST FROM THE BOARD MEMBER TO CHANGE THE ORDER TO VOTE THAT WAS TAKEN ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA REGARDING THE 4.01 SUPERINTENDENT CONTRACT.
AND IMPORTANCE OF RULES TO EITHER GO IN ORDER OF SEEDED POSITION OR ALPHABETICALLY. UNLESS WE HAVE A POLICY THAT STATES OTHERWISE. A BOARD MEMBER AT THE TIME OF VOTE CAN VOTE TO ABSTAIN WHEN HIS OR HER NAME IS CALLED.
IF SHE REFUSES TO DO EITHER, THE CHAIR CAN DEFAULT TO THE VOTE TO BE RECORDED AS ABSTAINED.
AS A RESULT THE FOLLOWING ROBERT'S RULES OF VOTING AND A CONSTANT MANNERED A HERING BY SEATING ARRANGEMENT WHICH HAS ALWAYS BEEN DONE. MAINTAINS ORDER AND HAS BEEN AGREED ON BY ALL BOARD MEMBERS AS ALL BOARD MEMBERS WERE ASKED FOR FEEDBACK THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.
FOR THE PREFERENCE OF SEATING. WE WILL CONTINUE TO ENFORCE EXISTING PROCEDURE WITH W THAT SAID, WE ARE PROCEEDING IN ORDER. PLEASE STATE YOUR VOTE WHEN CALLED. CLOSING DISCUSSION, AND CALLING THE QUESTION BY ROLE CALL. SUZANNE THOMAS?
[00:15:02]
PASSES 7-0. I WILL NOW TURN THE FLOOR OVER
TO DR. KEGLEY FOR STATEMENTS. >> YEAH, THANK YOU IF YOU'LL INDULGE ME FOR JUST A MINUTE. I APPRECIATE VERY MUCH YOUR SUPPORT AS A BOARD. IT IS NOT LOST ON ME THE MAGNITUDE OF MAKING THIS DECISION AND I APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH. YOU KNOW, WAS PROBABLY ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO-- PROBABLY JUST ABOUT THIS TIME.
THAT I WAS MAKING AN APPLICATION TO BE THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL AT HAMILTON SOUTHEASTERN HIGH SCHOOL.
STANDING HERE 28 YEARS LATER I DIDN'T THINK BUT WHAT'S IMPORTANT HERE IS WHAT DREW ME HERE AND MAINTAINS WHAT WE DO HERE. THINKING ABOUT WHERE PARENTS ARE BUT I JUST WASN'T GOING TO SETTLE ON ANY DISTRICT.
IT WAS IMPORTANT TO ME TO LAND SOMEWHERE WHERE I WOULD BE CHALLENGED PROFESSIONALLY. I KNEW I COULD LIVE AND GROW IN THE COMMUNITY AND OUR KIDS WOULD GET CHALLENGED ACADEMICALLY. AND ALL OF THAT HAS TAKEN PLACE HERE AT HSC. MY KIDS HERE TONIGHT ALL THREE GRADUATES FROM HAMILTON SOUTHEASTERN HIGH SCHOOL.
THEY ARE PROBABLY NOT FIRED UP ABOUT MY RED TIE.
I'M SUPPORTING IU HOOSIERS WHICH A WEEK FROM SATURDAY I'LL HAVE THREE GRADUATES FROM THERE.
AND YEAH, THANK YOU. THIS NEVER GETS DONE WITHOUT SUPPORT AT HOME. AND I AM SO THANK TO FEEL MY WIFE AND MY FAMILY AT HOME. SO HERE WE GO.
I CONTINUE TO WANT TO MAKE THIS A DESTINATION DISTRICT.
A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE WANT TO COME AND RAISE THEIR KIDS.
WHERE THEY WANT THEIR KIDS TO BE CHALLENGED ACADEMICALLY.
WHERE FUTURE EDUCATORS WANT TO COME AND TEACH ALONGSIDE SOME OF THE BEST TEACHERS AROUND. AND ADMINISTRATORS WANT TO COME HERE TO BE CHALLENGED BY THE FOLKS AROUND THEM.
AND SO I LOOK FORWARD TO WHAT LIES AHEAD FOR US AS A DISTRICT. AND I AGAIN THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
>> THANK YOU. >> THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES IS PROUD TO APPOINT DR. MATT KEGLEY OF SUPERINTENDENT OF HAMILTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS. BRINGING A DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF DISTRICT PROVEN RECORD LEADERSHIP AND STRONG TRUSTED RELATIONSHIPS ACROSS THE SCHOOL AND THE COMMUNITY.
HIS STEADY GUIDANCE DURING TIMES OF TRANSITION HAS DEMONSTRATED BOTH HIS CAPABILITY AND HIS COMMITMENT TO THOSE WE SERVE. HE HAS A LONG BEEN INVALUABLE CONTRIBUTOR TO THE SUCCESS OF HSC SCHOOLS AND WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR HIS DEDICATION TO OUR STUDENT, STAFF AND FAMILIES.
