ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE RECOGNITION BY JASON URBAN

>> MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, IT'S MY HONOR TO INTRODUCE MATT MAPES AS -- JORDAN. JORDAN HAS WE TALKED WE HAD TOUGH TASKS AHEAD OF US. COMMON BELL SCHEDULE AND ASSESSMENT, COMMON CURRICULUM AND THROUGH ALL THAT, JORDAN HAS BEEN A THOUGHTFUL AND COLLABORATIVE CHANGES IN THE STRUCTURAL CHANGES AND IT'S CLEAR WITH HIS COLLEAGUES SUPPORTING HIM AND HIS COLLEAGUES RESPECT HIM AND HIS SUPPORT AND THE POSITIVE CONTRIBUTIONS HE HAS TO THE CULTURE AND SUCCESS OF RIVERSIDE JUNIOR HIGH.

WHILE HE IS A CERTAINLY IMPRESSIVE LEADER AND COLLEAGUE WHERE HE TRULY STANDS OUT IS IN THE CLASSROOM.

YOU KNOW KIDS KNOW WHEN YOU ARE REAL.

NO DOUBT ABOUT IT AND KNOW WHEN YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT THEM AND THEY KNOW WHEN YOU REALLY PUT THE WORK IN FOR THEM.

THEY KNOW IT AND THEY APPRECIATE IT.

IT WAS APPARENT WHEN WE WENT OVER TO RIVERSIDE IN MAY AND SURPRISED HIM IN FRONT OF STUDENTS AND STAFF.

WHEN WE ANNOUNCED HIS NAME, THE CHEERS IN THEIR FACES.

HE IS REAL AND THEY APPRECIATE IT.

THIS APPRECIATION COMES FROM STUDENTS AND STAFF.

JORDAN TRULY HAS PERFECTED THE CORE ELEMENTS OF EFFECTIVE INSTRUCTIONS BALANCING HIGH EXPECTATIONS AND GENUINE CARE.

HIS CLASSROOM IS ONE OF TEAM WORK AND CHALLENGE.

HE IS BEYOND WORTHY OF THIS HONOR AND THE PERFECT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE TALENTED TEA TEACHERS IN THE DISTRICT. IN MAY HE RECEIVED $1,000 AND THE HAMILTON SOUTHEASTERN REGION AND WILL REPRESENT IN THE INDIANA TEACHER OF THE YEAR COMPETITION.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE, IT'S A LONG APPLICATION PROCESS.

A VERY LENGTHY ONE AND THE APPLICATION SPANS A YEAR BEFORE THE COMPETITION BEGINS. LAST YEAR, MICHAEL TEAL WAS IN COMPETITION FOR THE STATE WIDE TEACHER OF THE YEAR.

MR. TEAL MADE IT TO THE TOP 25 OF ALL TEACHERS IN STATE.

THAT'S A TREMENDOUS ACCOMPLISHMENT AND NOW IT'S JORDAN'S TURN TO COMPETE AGAINST THE OTHER TEACHERS ACROSS THE STATE WITH THE OVERALL WINNER IN HIS GROUP IN OCTOBER OF 2027 IT WILL BE ANNOUNCED. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AGAIN, IT'S MY HONOR TO PRESENT YOU TO JORDAN TEEPLE.

HSSE TEACHER OF THE YEAR. [APPLAUSE]

>> CONGRATULATIONS. OKAY.

I THINK WE HAVE A VIDEO ABOUT HIM.

AND THEN I'M SURE WILL ANSWER QUESTIONS.

>> WE GET AS MUCH DONE AS WE CAN.

>> HE'S JUST ALWAYS WILLING TO DO WHAT IT TAKES TO HELP KIDS LEARN. WE IMPLEMENTED MTSS AND USING THAT TIME SO EFFICIENTLY. HIS KIDS ARE KNOCKING IT OUTFUL

BALLPARK. >> HE'S ALWAYS LOOKING FOR WAY TO IMPROVE HIS INSTRUCTION AND CONTENT.

HE'S INSPIRATIONAL FOR ALL OF US AND WANTS THE KIDS TO DO THE BEST THEY CAN AND FIND THE BEST WAY TO APPROACH THEM.

>> HE'S A GREAT PERSON THAT POURS INTO EVERYBODY.

>> JORDAN IS VERY COLLABORATIVE.

HE SHARES ALL OF HIS RESOURCES AND THAT JUST MAKES EVERYONE AROUND HIM BETTER AS WELL. I KNOW I'M A BETTER TEACHER BECAUSE OF BEING ABLE TO WORK WITH HIM.

[00:05:02]

>> I HAVE THREE SONS, I WISH MY THREE SONS WERE A LITTLE BIT LIKE JORDAN. I'M SO HAPPY YOU'RE GETTING THIS

AWARD. >> CONGRATS JORDAN, CAN'T THINK OF ANYONE WHO DESERVES THIS MORE.

>> CONGRATULATIONS JORDAN. HOPE YOU FEEL EVERYTHING IN THIS

MOMENT. >> IT'S BEEN A GREAT PLEASURE OF MINE TO WATCH YOU LEARN AND GROW.

EARLY YEARS YOU KNOW THOSE FIRST FEW YEARS FIGURE OUT WHAT TOPICS YOU LIKE AND MATH HAS ALWAYS CLICKED.

>> YOU KNEW THAT WAS WHAT YOU ALWAYSMENTED TO -- WANTED TO

TEACH. >> I HAVE A MATH CERTIFICATION AS WELL. ALWAYS WANTED TO DO THE

SIDE. >>

>> THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT.

>> I JUST HAD ONE QUESTION AND IT MIGHT BE MORE FOR MR. URBAN.

[5. Action Items ]

APPROVAL OF FOOD SERVICES EMPLOYEE BY RYAN TAYLOR.

>> GOOD EVENING BOARD. I HAVE TWO SPECIAL HIRES FOR YOUR APPROVAL THIS EVENING IN ACCORDANCE TO STATE STATUTE.

AND THE FIRST 15.01. I SEEK YOUR APPROVAL FOR A FOOD

SERVICE EMPLOYEE AS PRESENTED. >> DO HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE FOOD SERVICE EMPLOYEE AS PRESENTED?

>> MOTION TO APPROVE AS PRESENTED.

>> DO I HAVE A SECOND? >> ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD? SEEING THERE'S NONE.

CLOSING QUESTION. CALLING THE QUESTION.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF APPROVING THE RESOLUTION AS

EYE. >> AYE.

>> ANY OPPOSE SAY NAY. PASSES 7-0.

>> AND 5.01. SECONDLY, I SEEK YOUR APPROVAL FOR A SPECIAL HIRE NEAR A FOCUS TEACHER.

>> DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE FOCUS TEACHER AS

PRESENTED. >> MOTION TO APPROVE 5.02.

>> SECOND >> ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD? SEEING THERE'S NONE.

CLOSES QUESTION AND CALLING THE QUESTION.

ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. >> AYE.

OPPOSE SAY NAY. >> PASSES 7-ZERO.

>> FACILITIES USAGE FEES. >> GOOD EVENING WE HAVE AN ITEM THAT HAS GONE TO THE FINANCE AND FACILITIES BOARD.

IF YOU DON'T MIND BRINGING UP THIS THIS DOCUMENT.

THIS HAS BEEN AN ATTEMPT AND EFFORT OF A LOT OF PEOPLE OVER THE LAST THREE, FOUR MONTHS AND I HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DELIVER IT TO YOU TODAY. AS WE TALKED ABOUT IN RECENT MONTHS REALLY A TREMENDOUS PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY OFFICIALS AND ONE ITEMS WE TRIED TO MESH TOGETHER IS THE USE OF OUR FACILITIES IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE USE OF THE CITY'S FACILITIES. AND IN THAT PARTNERSHIP, THE CITY HAS CONTRIBUTED DOLLARS TO THE SALARY FOR OUR FACILITY SCHEDULING COORDINATOR TO HELP ALIGN THESE AND ALSO PARTNER IN

[00:10:04]

IN SOME CASES WE DID AND FRANKLY AND CASES WE DECREASED THEM.

THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE A NEW REVENUE STREAM AND ANYTHING OF THE LIKE. IT'S MEANT TO, ALIGN WHAT WE THINK IS AN APPROPRIATE CHARGE. THE FIRST CATEGORY IS ANY HSE-BASED YOUTH ORGANIZATION. SO THESE ARE ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN OUR GEOGRAPHIC BOUNDARIES THAT INVOLVE A MAJORITY OF OUR YOUTH. THE PRIORITY FOR ALL THE WORK WE DO. THE SECOND COLUMN ARE AREN'T DIRECTLY DEALING WITH OUR YOUTH AND HAVE AN IMPORTANT RULE IN THE COMMUNITY. HOAS AND CHURCHES AND THINGS OF THOSE GROUPS OR LIKE. AND THE LAST GROUP OF OUR NON-HSE-BASED ORGANIZATIONS. OCCASIONALLY WE WILL GET CULTURAL GROUPS THAT COME IN. THOSE WOULD FIT IN THE LAST FIGURE. THE FIRST IS THE BASE PRICE.

THE SECOND IS 25% INCREASE AND THIRD IS ROUGHLY 50%.

THERE IS AN UPDATE PENDING YOUR APPROVAL OF THE FEELS THAT OUTLINE THESE IN DETAIL. AN IMPORTANT NOTE JUST TO TALK ABOUT IS WHEN FOLKS DO SIGN UP FUR USE OF OUR FACILITIES, IT GOES THROUGH OUR FACILITIES SCHEDULING COORDINATOR AND SHE DETERMINES WHAT CATEGORY THEY FIT IN.

IF THERE'S A DEBATE, WE WILL ERR TO THE CHEAPER GROUP.

TO BE CLEAR THOUGH. ALL OF OUR STUDENTS ATHLETES AND PERFORMERS TAKE PRECEDENT OF ANY OTHER GROUP.

ANY QUESTIONS. >> DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE FACILITY USAGE FEES AS PRESENTED?

>> MOTION TO APPROVE >> SECOND?

>> SECOND. >> ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS

FROM THE BOARD? >> YEAH, I WOULD JUST LIKE A TINY BIT MORE CLARIFICATION. WITH EACH OF THESE BREAK DOWNS WHICH THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING CLEAR.

IS IT MORE ON GEOGRAPHIC BOUNDARIES BECAUSE WE'RE FISHER OR IS IT MY ASSOCIATED WITH OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT? OR, BECAUSE THE OUTSIDE ONE OBVIOUSLY, OUTSIDE IS OUTSIDE.

HOW, HOW IS THAT BROKEN DOWN? >> AS MUCH AS WE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THIS BLACK AND WHITE, IT'S PROBABLY BLACK AND WHITE FOR 90% OF THE GROUPS THAT USE OUR FACILITIES.

IT'S NOT A PERFECT CLEAR-CUT DELINEATION.

IF A MAJORITY OF THE KIDS INVOLVED ARE OUR KIDS AND WE CAN WRAP OUR ARMS AROUND THAT, THAT'S AN EASY CATEGORY 1.

IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT IS HOUSED, SO AN HOA IN OUR GEOGRAPHIC BOUNDARY THAT WILL BE CATEGORY 2.

IF WE CAN'T ALIGN THE STUDENTS OR THE BUSINESS OR THE ORGANIZATION TO OUR GEOGRAPHIC BOUNDARIES, THEN THEY WILL GET KICKED TO GROUP THREE. THERE'S A COUPLE EXCEPTIONS TO THAT. ONE I WOULD GIVE IS COLUMN ONE OF IHSA MEMBER SCHOOLS. OCCASIONALLY A SCHOOL MAY NOT HAVE A POOL FOR INSTANCE AND WANT TO USE OUR POOL AND RENT THAT POOL. THAT'S A YOUTH-DRIVEN ORGANIZATION AND WE'RE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF OUR PARTNER SCHOOLS. WE ALWAYS GIVE PRIORITY FOR OUR KIDS. THERE'S LITTLE EXCEPTIONS HERE AND THERE. FOR THE MOST PART THAT ANSWERS

YOUR QUESTION. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARITY AND APPRECIATE THE WORK ON THIS. THANK YOU.

>> WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME THE RATES WERE INCREASED FOR THIS? HOW MUCH TIME HAS PASSED? A WHILE.

I'M LAUGHING BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE.

I KNOW IF HAS BEEN A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME SINCE THEY HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED. I KNOW THE PROCEDURE HAS BEEN ADJUSTED MORE FREQUENTLY. I WOULD LIKE TO MY VETERAN

COLLEAGUES. >> IF IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME, IT MAKES SENSE WITH EVERYTHING GOING ON IN THE DISTRICT COUNTS FOR THE INCREASES AND TIMING PERSPECTIVE.

>> AND WE DID A LOT OF THINGS BASED ON USE.

FOR EXAMPLE, WE HAVE FOOTBALL STADIUM ON THERE.

THAT IS RARELY RENTED. FOLKS RENT IT FOR THE TURF AND NOW WE HAVE A LOT OF TURF OPTIONS TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.

AGAIN THERE'S THE CITY PORTION TOO THAT GOES ALONGSIDE THIS AS

WELL. >> ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR

[00:15:01]

>> JUST TWO QUESTIONS. ONE, IMPORTANT TO NOTE AND THANK YOU FOR TALKING TO ME ABOUT THIS.

THERE'S A COUPLE GROUPS EXCLUDED FROM THIS THAT WE HAVE ON-GOING CONTRACTS WITH. IN THE PREMIERE MUD SOCK.

THOSE HAVE A LARGE OVER ARCHING CONTRACT OUTSIDE OF THIS.

WANT TO MAKE PEOPLE AWARE OF THIS SO THEY GET A SECONDARY PRIORITY. IT'S OUR STUDENTS AND OUR ORGANIZATION AND THEN THOSE CONTRACTOR GROUPS THEN YOU GO TO

THIS IF THERE'S -- >> YEAH, I WOULD DRAW A LITTLE DELINEATION BECAUSE MUD SOCK IS OUR FEEDER.

THE BOARD APPROVED THE PREMIERE AGREEMENT A COUPLE MONTHS AGO.

>> AND ON THE SAME TOPIC, THOSE ORGANIZATIONS DO ALSO SCHEDULE OUR FACILITIES. THERE WAS TALK IN OUR LAST BOARD MEETING THEY HAD JUST KIND OF SHOW UP AND YOU ON THE FIELDS.

THAT'S NO LONGER THE CASE. THEY ALL WILL BE SCHEDULED OUT.

>> THAT IS CORRECT. >> I WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT TO THE PUBLIC. FOR A COACH WHO WAS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR GYM SPACE, IT BECAME DIFFICULT TO SCHEDULE THOSE KNOWING, YOU COULD GET BUMPED OFF.

THAT'S NOT A CONCERN, IF YOU SCHEDULE IT, THAT'S YOUR TIME.

>> THEY WOULD STILL HAVE PRIORITY AS OUR FEEDER SYSTEM.

ONCE THAT SCHEDULE IS OPEN, IF AN OUTSIDE GROUP CAME IN AND THE SCHEDULE WAS OPEN, THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THE SPACE.

KEEP IN MIND, WHEN IT COMES TO ATHLETIC FACILITIES OUR PROGRAMS WILL TAKE PRECEDENT AND FREQUENTLY ON THE FIELDS.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> I HAVE JUST ONE LAST QUESTION FROM A SCHEDULING PERSPECTIVE. IF THE PUBLIC DID WANT TO HAVE MORE FURTHER INQUIRY ON THAT PROCESS, IS IT CLEAR WHERE THEY

WANT TO GO OR INQUIRE TO SCHOOL? >> WE ARE TRYING TO WORK ON AN ONLINE PAYMENT. WHEN YOU COORDINATE SCHEDULING WITH ONLINE PAYMENTS, IT'S NOT AT SMOOTH.

FOLKS KNOW WHERE TO GO AND WE WILL TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AND SEE

SEE IF WE CAN MAKE IT BETTER. >> ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. CLOSING THE DISCUSSION.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR AM SAY AYE. >> AYE.

>> OPPOSE SAY NAY. PASSES 7-0.

5.04. POLICY SECOND READING BY JASON

URBAN. >> MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, THE POLICIES LISTED FOR SECOND READ WAS PRESENTED TO THE POLICY COMMITTEE ON AUGUST 5TH. THEY WERE DISCUSSED AND THEY WERE NO RECOMMENDED CHANGES AND I WILL PRESENT THESE TO YOU FOR

YOUR APPROVAL. >> DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE FOLLOWING POLICIES AS PRESENTED 11.06.

COLLECTION OF TEXTBOOK MATERIAL FEES.

J6.01, STUDENT ACTIVITIES FEE,. 7.10.

HOMELESS CHILDREN. 7.11.

CUICIDE AWARENESS PREVENTION. J 06.01 STUDENT ACTIVITY FEES.

AND ANY THAT'S IT. DO I HAVE A SECOND? YEP, IT'S ALREADY ON THERE. THANK YOU.

DO I HAVE A MOTION? >> MOTION TO APPROVE POLICIES

>> SECOND? >> SECOND.

>> ANY ECONOMY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD.

GO AHEAD. >> COULD YOU JUST GIVE THE PUBLIC A BASELINE EXPLANATION OF THE ACT SO THAT KNOW HOW THIS

PERTAINS WHAT IS IN THE POLICY? >> SO LINKED IN THE POLICY, BASICALLY WE ARE REQUIRED IN THE POLICY THEN TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE FULLY SERVICING THE STUDENTS THAT QUALIFY.

AND THAT COULD BE A COUPLE DIFFERENT WAYS.

STUDENT FAMILIES THAT DON'T HAVE A PERMANENT RESIDENCE.

IT COULD BE STUDENTS WHO ARE DON'T LIVE AT HOME.

THEY WOULD QUALIFY AS WELL. SO NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE TO PROVIDE THEM EDUCATION IN OUR DISTRICT, MAYBE ALSO QUALIFY FOR TRANSPORTATION AND OTHER SERVICES FROM THE DISTRICT.

>> I JUST HAD A QUESTION FOR THE POLICY COMMITTEE MEMBERS FIRST.

WE CHANGED THE TITLE TO CHILDREN EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS BUT WE DIDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING WITHIN THE BODY OF THAT.

CAN YOU ELABORATE ON WHY THAT DECISION WAS MADE?

>> IT WAS NOT PRESENTED THAT WAY.

WE ONLY MADE THE CHANGE TO THE TITLE.

I DON'T KNOW IT WAS AN INTENTIONAL OVERSIGHT, IT WAS NOT PRESENTED TO THE COMMITTEE. THAT WASN'T DISCUSSED IN THE

[00:20:03]

POLICY. >> IT WASN'T DISCUSSED.

OKAY. >> IS THERE PLANS TO DO THAT?

>> I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO SEND THIS PARTICULAR POLICY BACK TO THE POLICY COMMITTEE TO HAVE THAT CONSIDERED.

>> DO I HAVE A SECOND? >> I SECOND IT.

>> OKAY. CALLING QUIET.

WE WILL DO IT BY ROLL CALL. BOARD DISCUSSION.

ANY FURTHER COMMENTS? >> I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY.

IT'S JUST A GRAMMAR CHANGE TO FIX THE TITLE.

IS THAT YOUR INTENTION? >> YES.

>> ANY OTHER FURTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?

>> I DO WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT. PERSONALLY, I THINK IT'S MORE THAN A GRAMMAR CHANGE. I THINK THERE'S MORE PURPOSE BEHIND IT THAN THAT AND I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH.

I WILL READ IT TO MAKE IT EASIER.

EVERY CHILD WHO LACKS A PLACE TO STAY DESERVES OUR SUPPORT.

MCKINNEY VENTON EXISTS TO PROVIDE THESE STUDENTS.

FIRST TO THE CONGRESSMAN FROM THE 1980S.

WHEN THIS LANGUAGE PROPOSAL FIRST CAME FORWARD, THE MUCH THE BACKGROUND WAS NEWS TO ME AS WELL.

I RESEARCHED WHERE THE PHRASING ORIGINATED.

CHILDREN EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS DID NOT ARISE FROM ORDINARY CLASSROOM OR COMMUNITY USAGE.

IT HAS BEEN DELIBERATELY ADVANCED BY NATIONAL ADVOCACY ORGANIZATIONS AS THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE EDUCATION OF HOMELESS CHILDREN. WHICH IRONICALLY USES HOMELESS CHILDREN IN THEIR TITLE. THESE GROUPS LOBBY FOR EXPANDED FUNDING AND SPECIFIC POLICY OUTCOMES AND THE MATERIALS CONNECT TO SYSTEMIC RACISM AND SHAPE THE TRAINING AND RECOMMENDED LANGUAGE THAT REACHES THE STATE AGENCIES.

I CAN UNDERSTAND THIS CAN APPEAR TO BE A SMALL OR EVEN MUNDANE MATTER. TAKEN BY ITSELF, MANY OF US WOULD NOT GIVE IT MUCH THOUGHT. THIS IS THE PATTERN OF INCREMENTAL LANGUAGE CHANGE UNTIL WE ARRIVE AT TERMS PEOPLE DON'T ACCEPT LIKE LATINX OR MINOR PERSONS.

SOME DO SO WITH DELIBERATE INTENT.

MANY ARE RESPECTFUL. AND GOOD INTENTIONS INTO NOT CHANGE THE UNDERLYING REALITY. THE PROBLEM EXISTS WHETHER A PERSON USING THE LANGUAGE IS A PURPOSEFUL ACTIVIST OR SOMEONE HAS BEEN CAUGHT UP IN THE MESSAGING AND HAS BEEN PART IT.

WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE BOTH AND DECIDE WHETHER WE GO ALONG WITH BOTH OF THEM. THIS MATTER STUDENTS ARE IMPRESSIONABLE. EVEN IF THE ADULT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR FURTHER HAVE ALREADY ABSORBED THE FRAMEWORKS WITHOUT QUESTIONING WHERE THEY CAME FROM, PREVENTS CHILDREN FROM INDEPENDENTLY THINKING ABOUT THEM.

ADOPTING THIS CHANGE REMAINS A POLITICAL CHOICE.

IN A COMMUNITY THAT WANTS POLITICS KEPT OUT OF SCHOOLS AND WITH A REFERENDUM APPROACHING THAT CHOICE RISKS PUBLIC TRUST AND THE FUNDING THAT SERVES EVERY STUDENT.

WE CAN FULLY SUPPORT EVERY CHILDREN AND STILL USE CLEAR, ORDINARY LANGUAGE. RESPECT FOR STUDENTS DOES NOT REQUIRE US TO ADOPT THE VOCABULARY OF ADVOCACY ORGANIZATIONS. I ASK THE BOARD TO KEEP OUR FOCUS ON PRACTICAL SUPPORTS FOR OUR STUDENTS.

THANK YOU. >> IS THERE LANGUAGE YOU WOULD RECOMMEND THAT DOESN'T LIKE STIGMATIZE THEM SAYING HOMELESS CHILDREN BECAUSE THAT'S LIKE STIGMATIZING.

>> ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE TREADMILL EFFECT? ESSENTIALLY ANY WORD THAT DESCRIBES SOMETHING THAT IS STIGMATIZED, IT EVENTUALLY BECOMES STIGMATIZED

>> WHEN THAT TIME COMES THEY CAN CHANGE THE POLICY THEN.

>> I THINK HOMELESS CHILDREN IS A FINE DESCRIPTION.

IT'S ACCURATE AND ORDINARY LANGUAGE AND EVEN WHEN I RESEARCHED THAT, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT REPLACED VAGRANT AND HOBO IN THE 80S. IT ALWAYS CONTINUES TO CHANGE, AND I THINK AT SOME POINT, WE CAN USE CLEAR ORDINARY LANGUAGE AND THE FACT THIS WAS CREATED BY GROUPS THAT HAVE POLITICAL CONNECTIONS AND POLITICAL TIES, I THINK FURTHER ILLUSTRATES THE POINT IT'S MEANT TO SHIFT THE ONEROUS TO A CULTURAL NEED FOR A

POLICY CHANGE. >> I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE TO ASSUME MY INTENT IS A POLITICAL AGENDA LIKE YOU USUALLY DO.

[00:25:04]

IT'S SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS TO THEM AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING THEY ARE. HOMELESS CHILDREN MAKES IT SOUND

LIKE SOMETHING THEY ARE. >> I'M GOING TO INTERJECT.

EACH BOARD MEMBER HAS TWO OPPORTUNITIES TO SPEAK.

>> SO, AS SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT HAVE TO GOOGLE TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE AND WORKED IN THERAPEUTIC FOSTER CARE AND ADVOCATED FOR SPECIAL NEEDS, I TOOK OFFENSE OF THE WORD ADVOCACY BEING USED IN A POLITICAL WAY. ADVOCATE MEANS TO HELP.

NOT EVERYONE UP HERE IS DOING IT FOR PARTISAN REASONS.

THE MCKINNEY VENTO ACT WHICH I DID HAVE URBAN DISCUSS IS MEANT TO HELP. ULTIMATELY OUR JOB IS TO HELP STUDENTS. ARGUING ABOUT LANGUAGE AND THINGS OF THAT SORT, IS NOT A GOOD PLACE FOR THE BOARD TO BE.

ALSO, WORDS DO MATTER, AND HAVING BEEN AROUND TEENAGERS AND CHILDREN WHO HAVE BEEN TRAUMATIZED AND SEEING THAT BACKGROUND, THESE WORDS ABSOLUTELY DO MATTER.

ESPECIALLY SEEING CHILDREN WHO HAD TO PUT ALL OF THEIR BELONGINGS IN GARAGE BAGS. WHEN YOU'RE STUCK IN A POLITICAL THING, THAT DOESN'T MATTER WHEN A CHILD IS CARRYING THEIR BELONGINGS IN A GARAGE BAG. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD GO BACK TO THE POLICY COMMITTEE AND DISCUSS IT THERE.

>> MOVING ON. ANY FURTHER?

SUZANNE THOMAS. >> I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT. IT FEELS LIKE THIS IS A DISCUSSION ABOUT SEMANTICS AND SHOULD BE SENT BACK TO THE COMMITTEE. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR WHAT DR.

KEGLEY AND MR. URBAN, YOU ARE THE ADMINISTRATORS IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. YOU ARE THE ONES WORKING WITH THIS POLICY. OBVIOUSLY, IT CAME TO US WITHOUT -- IT'S NOT. SO THAT'S WHY I WOULD LIKE TO GO BACK TO THE COMMITTEE AND LET YOU GUYS MAYBE SHARE WITH THE BOARD WHY WE SHOULD BE GOING FORWARD WITH IT AS IS OR DOES IT

NEED TO HAVE A CHANGE? >> SO TECHNICALLY WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE BOARD TO SEND BACK.

YOU CAN DO A ROLL CALL VOTE. DR. KEGLEY, DO YOU HAVE INPUT.

>> YOU'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF MAKING A MOTION TO SEND BACK TO COMMITTEE. I WANT TO RESPECT EVERYBODY'S OPINION HERE, THIS DEBATE CAN HAPPEN IN THE ACTUAL COMMITTEE IF THAT'S WHERE WE'RE SENDING IT BACK.

>> THAT'S THE PROPER PROCESS. >> CORRECT.

>> SO WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR TO SEND THE POLICY J .0710 BACK TO POLICY COMMITTEE. STARTING WITH THE ROLL CALL.

SUZANNE >> YES,

>> >> YES, SIR.

>> >> YES,

>> BEN ORR. >> NO.

DAWN LANG. YES.

AND I'M A NO. PASSES, TO OPPOSING.

SO IT WILL GO BACK TO COMMITTEE. THANK YOU.

SO NOW WE'RE GOING BACK TO THE ORIGINAL MOTION.

DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE ALL ITEMS PRESENTED BY JASON URBAN OUTSIDE OF J .07.10 HOMELESS CHILDREN OR CHILDREN

EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS? >> MOTION TO APPROVE ALL ITEMS IN 5.04 EXCLUDING J 07.10 HOMELESS CHILDREN, CHILDREN

EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS. >> SECOND

>> ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. DON'T WE STILL HAVE DISCUSSION

ON THE MOTION? >> NO.

I HAVE A COMMENT ON J .061. >> ANY FURTHER DISCUSSIONS ON

ANY OTHER POLICIES? >> I JUST WANT TO CONFIRM THAT REMOVING THE SENTENCE IN J 0601 IS AN ENDING THE PRACTICE OF PROVIDING ASSISTANCE TO FAMILIES WHO NEED IT AND INCREASES THE FLEXIBILITY AND OPTIONS WE HAVE THROUGHOUT ALL OF OUR ACTIVITIES TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE WHERE APPROPRIATE.

JUST WANTING TO MAKE SURE WE CLARIFY THAT.

>> THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. IT INCREASES FLEXIBILITY AND TAKES THE RESPONSIBILITY TO BOOSTER CLUBS AND OTHER SUPPORT

ORGANIZATIONS. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT

CLARIFICATION. >> ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS REGARDING ANY OTHER POLICIES? SEEING THERE'S NONE. GOING BACK TO THE ORIGINAL ROLL CALL. OR CALLING THE QUESTION FOR ALL ITEMS JUST TO REFERENCE AGAIN ALL ITEMS EXCLUDING J .01.0.

>> ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. >> AYE.

[6. Information Items]

>> PASSES 7-0. >> FIRST POLICY FOR FIRST READ

[00:30:05]

WE'RE PROPOSING A CHANGE IN ORDER TO BETTER BUDGET AND CONTROL COSTS FOR MILEAGE REIMBURSEMENT.

THE SUGGESTION CAME OUT OF THE BUDGET TASK FORCE.

THE IRS RATE FOR REIMBURSEMENT CHANGES OFTEN AND THE AMENDED POLICY WOULD ALLOW US MORE CONSISTENCY.

OUR PRIOR POLICY WAS TO REINSTATE AT THE CURRENT IRS RATE. WE WOULD ONLY LIKE TO RAISE WHEN THE DISTRICT OR BOARD DEEMS APPROPRIATE.

>> ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD? SEEING THERE'S NONE. THANK YOU.

MOVING ON TO NEXT AGENDA ITEM. 6.02.

>> I HAVE SEVERAL. >> I'M SORRY.

>> NEXT ONE IS J 07.00, STUDENT HEALTH.

THIS POLICY GIVES THE SUPERINTENDENT THE AUTHORITY TO EXCLUDE FROM SCHOOL A STUDENT WHO HAS A COMMUNICALLY DISEASE.

ONE TRANSMITTED THROUGH NORMAL CONTACT.

AND THE POLICY ALSO PROTECTS STUDENTS WHO DISCLOSE THEY HAVE DISEASES NOT TRANSMITTED THROUGH CASUAL CONDUCT TO BE ALLOWED TO ATTEND SCHOOL UNLESS THERE'S EVIDENCE TO WARRANT THAT EXCLUSION. POLICY ALSO GIVES THE DISTRICT AUTHORITY TO CONDUCT VISION HEARING AND POSTURAL TESTING TO MAINTAIN HEALTH RECORDS IN THE CLINIC.

ONLY REQUEST MINOR GRAMMAR WORDING CHANGES TO THE POLICY.

NEXT POLICY IS J 07.01, IMMUNIZATION OF STUDENTS.

THIS ESTABLISHES A RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PARENT AND GUARDIANS TO PROVIDE PROPER PROOF OF IMMUNIZATIONS AND DENY STUDENTS ATTENDANCE IF THE STUDENT DOES NOT HAVE PROPER IMMUNIZATIONS. STUDENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR A WAIVER THROUGH INDIANA CODE EXCLUDED FROM THIS.

NEXT POLICY IS J 07.03. CONCUSSIONS AND SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST. THIS POLICY MIRRORS THE LEGAL OBLIGATION TO EDUCATE PARENTS, COACHES AND STUDENT ATHLETES THE RISK THE CONCUSSIONS AND CARDIAC ARREST AND PLACES AUTHORITY TO HAVE AED AND WE EVEN HAVE EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLANS.

WE ARE SUGGESTING NO EDITS. NEXT POLICY IS J 07.04, PREGNANT STUDENTS THIS ENABLES A STUDENT TO HAVE THE SAME EDUCATION.

WE ARE RECOMMENDING NO CHANGES. J 0705.

DO NOT RESUSCITATE. POLICIES DO NOT RESUSCITATE AGREEMENTS AND FOLLOW OUR NORMAL AGREEMENTS TO ADDRESS EMERGENCIES. NO CHANGES RECOMMENDED TO THE POLICY. NEXT POLICY IS J 07.06, WELLNESS. THIS DETERMINES ALL STUDENT MEALS AND GIVING THE SUPERINTENDENT AUTHORITY TO ESTABLISH WELLNESS PROCEDURES AND WE'RE RECOMMENDING NO

CHANGES TO THE POLICY. >> THANK YOU.

ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD? CLOSING DISCUSSION AND MOVING ON.

2027 MET ASSESSED VALUE REFERENDUM UPDATE BY TIM BROWN.

>> WELL IN MY WORLD, THIS NEXT ITEM IS BIG NEWS.

SO, WANT TO DIVE IN A LITTLE BIT TO THE BACKGROUND HERE AND THEN TALK ABOUT WHAT IT ULTIMATELY MEANS TO US AS WE GO THROUGH THE REFERENDUM PROCESS WE'RE JUST THREE MONTHS AWAY FROM ON THE BALLOT. I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT A FEW THINGS TO START OFF. FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO THANK THE HAMILTON COUNTY FOLKS THAT DO WORK WITH ASSESSED VALUE.

IT'S A THANKLESS JOB AND THERE'S A LOT OF WORK THAT GOES INTO THAT WITH AUDITOR TODD CLEVAGE'S WORK.

IT MAKE ITS TOUGH TO MAKE DECISIONS AND BUDGETING WITHOUT REFERENDUM WORK. WE HAD OURS IN JULY.

JUST WANT TO GIVE THEM A SHOUT OUT.

DIVING INTO WHAT THIS MEANS TODAY.

THIS IS A CHART OR A LINE GRAPH THAT'S PRETTY FAMILIAR TO YOU BECAUSE YOU HAVE SEEN IT. COLOR CODED AS WE BRANDED TO HSE. WE TALKED ABOUT THE REFERENDUM.

THE BLUE LINE AT THE TOP IS THE GROSS ASSESSED VALUE OF ALL PROPERTIES IN HAMILTON COUNTY IN THE JURISDICTION OR GEOGRAPHIC

[00:35:04]

THE LIGHT GRAY LINE IS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO THE REFERENDUM RATE PRIOR TO SCA 1. SO SINCE THAT TRAJECTORY CHANGE, WE HAVE HAD TO DO WHAT WE HAVE DONE AND TAKE THIS BALLOT.

HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS. THE ACTUAL REFERENDUM IS 13.5, ALMOST $13.6 MILLION. USING THE TEAM WE PUT TOGETHER WITH POLICY ANALYTICS USING ALL OTHER PROJECTION DATA.

THE ESTIMATION OF WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN WAS AT THE NET ASSESSED VALUE WOULD DROP ALMOST FOUR AND A HALF % TO $14 BILLION. THAT NET ASSESSED AV CAME IN HIGHER THAN WHAT THEY PROJECTED. OUR ACTUAL AS WE STAND HERE TODAY, IT ALWAYS CAN CHANGE. BASED ON APPEALS AND THE LIKE, BUT RIGHT NOW IT'S OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED THAT ESSENTIALLY IT STAYED FLAT AT A SMALL GROWTH OF .13 OF A PERCENT.

OF NOTE, THAT THE THE SMALLEST INCREASE OF ANY SCHOOL IN HAMILTON COUNTY. SO OUR COLLEAGUES SAW INCREASES HIGHER THAN THIS. SOME WERE SIMILAR TO OURS.

SOME GREW QUITE A BIT MORE DEPENDING ON THEIR SITUATION.

I POINT THAT OUT BECAUSE EVERY SCHOOL SITUATION EVEN INSIDE HAMILTON COUNTY IS DIFFERENT. SO, COMPARISONS GET TO BE TOUGH.

AND THAT'S AN IMPORTANT DISTINCTION.

SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? HERE'S THE REALLY GOOD NEWS.

SINCE OUR AV WENT UP, DOES NOT TAKE AS HIGH OF A RATE TO GET TO THE TARGETED LEVY WE ARE HOPING TO MAKE.

IN JUNE WHEN WE CAME BACK TO THE BOARD ASKING FOR PERMISSION TO PUT THE REFERENDUM ON THE BALLOT.

WE SAID AS PART OF THE REFERENDUM, WE ARE REQUIRED TO ANNUALLY APPROVE A RATE DURING THE BUDGET PROCESS.

NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE A ANNUALLY APPROVE A RATE, WE HAVE TO APPROVE AN ANNUAL SPENDING PLAN AS WELL.

THIS YEAR'S SO DIFFERENT BECAUSE WE'RE PUTTING THIS ON THE BALLOT AND DR. KEGLEY AND I ALONG WITH ALL OF OUR OTHER HSE TEAM MEMBERS ARE ADVOCATING AND PROVIDING INFORMATION RELATED TO THE REFERENDUM. SO THIS BECOMES REALLY IMPORTANT. TODAY I'M HERE TO SAY WHEN WE COME BACK TO DO THE BUDGET. OUR RECOMMENDATION WILL NOT BE 2275 BUT 2200. THAT THAT MEANS TO THE MEDIAN HOMEOWNER, REMEMBER THE MEDIAN HOME VALUE IS $370,000 RANGE AND GETS ROUNDED UP FOR THE BUILT QUESTION TO $400,000 GOES FROM $37 IN 2720 AS AN INCREASE TO $26 AS AN INCREASE.

SO, WHEN I SAID THIS IS GOOD NEWS, THAT AVERAGE OR THAT MEDIAN HOMEOWNER WOULD HAVE ROUGHLY A $26 INCREASE IN CALENDAR YEAR 2027. THAT IS NOT A PER MONTH A LOT.

THAT IS THE ENTIRE YEAR OF 2027. I WILL PAUSE FOR DRAMATIC EFFECT. ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT BEFORE

I GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE? >> CAN YOU JUST SAY THAT AGAIN.

THE $26 IS NOT PER MONTH. IT'S AN ANNUAL TO WHAT YOU WERE ALREADY PAYING. YOUR DOLLARS WILL ONLY PAY THAT CHANGE. IN 2026 A GROSS ASSESSED VALUE $400,000 WILL BE INCREASED IN VALUE BY ABOUT 4%.

WHEN YOU INCREASE THAT GROSS ASSESSED VALUE AND APPLY THE DEDUCTIONS THAT WILL BE IN PLACE IN 2027, THAT HOMEOWNER WILL HAVE APPROXIMATELY A $26 ANNUAL INCREASE TO THE REFERENDUM

AMOUNT THEY'RE PLAYING. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT

CLARITY. >> TALKING A LITTLE ABOUT LEVIES AND WHAT THAT MEANS. THIS WE APPLIED RATE BACK IN MAY, IT WOULD HAVE PRODUCED $29.5 MILLION.

IF WE KEPT THE 2275. IT MOVES THAT LEVY TO ABOUT $30.9 MILLION BUT BY DROPPING IT, TAKES THE LEVY DOWN TO 29.9 WE TOOK THIS CHANGE THIS NET ASSESSED VALUE AND CAPTURED A

[00:40:04]

SO, WE CAPTURED A LITTLE OF IT. CERTAINLY NOT ALL THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE USING 2275. THIS SPEAKS TO OUR MANTRA WE WILL LIVE BY IN EVERY YEAR OF REFERENDUM.

WE WILL ALWAYS DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO AND HAVE THE TAXPAYER IN MIND WITH EVERY DECISION WE MAKE AND EVERY YEAR WHEN WE COME BACK TO THE BOARD TO SAY THIS IS OUR RECOMMENDATION FOR THE NEXT YEAR, IF THE REFERENDUM WOULD PASS, WE WILL HAVE THAT ABSOLUTELY IN MIND. I WILL DRIVE THAT POINT HOME SAYING THIS PROJECTED LEVY OF 29.9 STILL IS UNDER WHAT THE PROJECTION WOULD HAVE BEEN PRIOR TO SEA 1.

I WILL POINT THAT OUT IN A COUPLE WAYS WERE THE FIRST WAY I WILL POINT OUT IF WE LOOK AT IN MAY WHAT THE PROJECTION WOULD HAVE BEEN IN 2027, THAT'S ABOUT $30.1 MILLION AND REMEMBER, WE'RE TALKING 29.9. WE'RE STILL UNDER THAT.

ALSO IN 2026, WE MISSED OUT ON ABOUT $2 MILLION WE WOULD HAVE ACHIEVED PRESCA 1. THAT MANTRA OF, THE THING WE BELIEVE STRONGLY, WE'RE JUST TRYING TO GET A PORTION OF THE DOLLARS BACK RELATED TO THE LEGISLATION AND BEING RESPECTFUL TO THE WILLING AS WELL. GOING BACK TO THIS AT 29.9 AS A RECOMMENDED LEVY, OUR SPENDING PLAN STILL DOES OVER SPEND THE LEVY. WE HAVE A $31.2 MILLION SPENDING PLAN. THE SPENDING PLAN HAS NOT CHANGED. IT IS STILL PRIMARILY TEACHERS, SALARIES AND BENEFITS. THE MENTAL HEALTH CONTRACT THAT WE SUPPORT WITH ASESSION AND OUR STUDENT SAFETY THROUGH TRAFFIC AND SECURITY WITH OUR SROS AND THE CITY OF FISCHER.

NO CHANGES TO THE SPENDING PLAN. THE UPDATED CALCULATOR BASED ON 200 IS ALIVE ON OUR WEBSITE. IT'S AVAILABLE TO CLICK ON.

WE USE THE EXAMPLE OF $400,000 HOME.

IT INCREASES ITS VALUE IN 2027. WE ASSUME THE GROWTH AV WILL CHANGE. THERE'S THE YEARLY IMPACT.

AS WE ROUND UP $25.82. I WILL SAY A COUPLE THINGS RELATED TO THIS. THERE'S ASSUMPTIONS IN PLAY.

NOT OVER HOME AT $400,000 WILL GROW AT THE EXACT SAME RATE.

THIS IS THE BEST ESTIMATED CALCULATION WE HAVE PROVIDE.

SOME MAY GROW LESS AND ONLY HAVE 25.

SOME MAY GROW MORE AND HAVE $27. THIS IS RIGHT IN THE BALLPARK OF THE $400,000 HOME. QUESTIONS?

>> REMIND WHEN WE VOTE ON SETTING THAT RATE EACH YEAR.

>> YES. SO, AS A PART OF BUDGET PROCESS, WHEN WE WILL THROUGH THE ENTIRE PROCESS, THAT IS A PRESENTATION AND PUBLIC HEARING WHERE THE PUBLIC CAN PARTICIPATE AND AN ADDITIONAL MEETING WHERE THE BOARD VOTES.

YOU DO BRING UP AN IMPORTANT POINT.

STARTING TOMORROW, DR. KEGLEY AND I ARE ON THE ROAD.

WE ARE SPLIT APART, HE'S GOING TO ONE SCHOOL AND I GO TO ANOTHER. OUR EXPECTATION WILL BE TO SHARE

TO RECOMMEND $0.22 ON THE RATE. >> BUT THAT APPROVAL, DOES THAT -- WHEN DOES THAT APPROVAL COME BEFORE US TO VOTE ON? AND THE REASON I'M ASKING, IS THAT BEFORE OR AFTER THE

ELECTION? >> IT WOULD BE BEFORE IN OUR OCTOBER MEETING. WE HAVE TWO BACK-TO-BACK OCTOBER MEETING. ONE IS IN THE HEARING WHERE THE PUBLIC CAN PARTICIPATE AND THE FORMAL APPROVAL IN OCTOBER.

>> YOU WILL BE PASSING THE BUDGET IN THAT SAME RIGHT ALONG.

WE NEED THE RATE APPROVED SO WE CAN APPROVE THE BUDGET.

>> YEAH. OKAY.

I APPRECIATE THAT. I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE WAY IT IS. I JUST, IT GIVES US ANOTHER CHANCE TO SHOW TAXPAYERS WE'RE SERIOUS.

I APPRECIATE YOU PUTTING THIS TOGETHER AND SOMETHING HAPPENS SIMILAR TO THIS THE LAST REFERENDUM WHERE NEAR THE END WE DID MORE CALCULATIONS AND THERE WAS MONEY FOUND.

WE HAVE DONE IT BEFORE. WE ARE PLANNING TO DO IT AGAIN.

AND AGAIN FOR THE COMMUNITY. JUST BECAUSE THE MAXIMUM RATE APPEARS TO THE BALLOT, IT IS NOT OUR INTENTION RIGHT NOW, AND OF COURSE, THERE WILL BE ELECTIONS AFTER THAT.

WHO KNOWS WHAT THE NEXT BOARD OR GROUP WILL DO.

FOR RIGHT NOW, WE ARE GOING TO SHOW YOU PRIOR TO THE ELECTION THAT WE'RE GOING TO ADOPT THAT RATE.

SO I APPRECIATE YOU DOING THAT. >> YEAH, JUST TO CLARIFY THAT.

[00:45:01]

FORMAL SPENDING PLAN. >> THANK YOU.

ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS.

CLOSING DISCUSSION AND MOVING ON.

SEARCH .0. SUPERINTENDENT REPORTS.

I HAVE ONE MORE I >> I'M SORRY.

>> THAT'S OKAY. YOU CAN KICK ME OUT.

>> I JUST HAVE MONTHLY FINANCIAL UPDATES.

OUR CADENCE WILL BE A MONTH OR SO BEHIND IN TIMING.

NOT TO BURY THE LEAD. THE JULY UPDATES WILL BE ON THE WEBSITE TOMORROW AS WELL. BUT I'M HIT THE JUNE HIGHLIGHTS REAL QUICK. MR. HARRISON, WE WILL START WITH THE EDUCATION FUND. AND THESE HAVE BEEN UP ON OUR WEBSITE FOR ABOUT A MONTH OR SO. REMINDERS HERE.

THIS SHOWS WHERE WE ARE IN RELATION TO THE BUDGET AND AVAILABLE CASH BALANCE. A COUPLE HIGHLIGHTS IN THE TOP LEFT. YOU SEE THE CASH BALANCE.

A LITTLE OVER $22 MILLION AND BOTTOM RIGHT.

AVAILABLE BALANCE AT THE END OF JUNE, AROUND $22.5 MILLION.

ABOVE IT IS THE AVAILABLE CASH SPENT IN 2026.

I'M HAPPY TO REPORT AT THE SIX MONTH MARK, WE'RE ALMOST LEVEL WITH THE CASH BALANCE. THERE'S A COUPLE REASONS WHY.

ONE IS SALARIES ARE DOWN IN THE EDUCATION FUND AND CURRICULAR MATERIALS WERE A BIG EXPENSE IN 2025 COMPARED TO 2026.

YOU WILL SEE THAT ON THE COMPARISON YEAR OVER YEAR CONTRIBUTE TO THAT DIFFERENCE. I ALWAYS PUT A WORD A CAUTION.

I WOULDN'T BE DOING MY JOB IF I DIDN'T.

THE REAL TELL WILL BE WHEN WE GET INTO THE AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER PAYROLLS BECAUSE FOLKS WHO LEFT THE DISTRICT THROUGH ATTRITION AND RETIREMENT TAKE PAY OFFS.

OTHERS CONTINUED TO PAID THROUGH THIS FRIDAY'S PAYROLL.

AS SPREAD PAY GOES, THE LAST PAY OF THE 25-26 YEAR.

AUGUST 31ST STARTING TO TELL WHERE DOES PAYROLL LAND WITH THE NEW STAFF THAT ARE HERE FOR THE 26-27 SCHOOL YEAR.

THAT'S WHEN WE REALLY CAN START TO SEE THE RAMIFICATIONS WITH ALL COST CUTTING STRATEGIES OF STAFF.

ANY QUESTION ON THE EDUCATION FUND? GOING TO OPERATIONS. WE WILL GO TO REFERENDUM.

IF THAT'S POSSIBLE. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

REFERENDUM. WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT REFERENDUM AND OPERATIONS. REMEMBER THESE ARE PROPERTY TAX FUNDS. WE DON'T ALWAYS GET 50-50.

WE GET PROPERTY TAX DRAWS IN MAY AND JUNE AND NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER. IT'S NOT A FLAT 50-50.

OUR REVENUE IS 55% OF WHAT WE EXPECT FOR YEAR.

WE ARE AHEAD OF REVENUE AND THAT'S NOT ABNORMAL.

IT DOESN'T MEAN WE WILL GET 55% ON THE SECOND HALF EITHER.

A WORD OF CAUTION WHEN WE LOOK AT CASH BALANCES.

YOU WILL SEE THE BEGINNING THE YEAR WAS 9.1 MILLION AND WE ARE 10.4. REMEMBER WE HAVE GOT MORE OF THE REVENUE THAN 50% WHEN EVEN THOUGH WE HAD 50% OF EXPENSES.

MOVING TO OPERATIONS. SAME CONCEPT HERE WITH THE OPERATIONS FUND AS WELL. WE HAVE GOTTEN ABOUT 52, 53% OF THE REVENUE. A LITTLE MORE THAN HALF.

THE OTHER THING THAT'S UNIQUE. REMEMBER THE BOARD APPROVED IN JUNE THAT ONE-TIME TRANSFER RELATED TO THE HOMESTEAD CREDIT OF $300. YOU SEE THAT LINE NEAR THE BOTTOM ONE-TIME TRANSFER FROM DEBT SERVICE TO HOMESTEAD CREDIT LOSS. TO POINT OUT, DUE TO THAT AND COST CUTTING STRATEGIES. AVAILABLE CASH BALANCE IN THE OPERATIONS FUND IS UP. BY ABOUT $3.7 MILLION.

SO THAT IS A GOOD SIGN. I WILL CAUTIOUSLY REMIND EVERYONE THAT WE STILL HAVE TO GET THROUGH THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. WHEN WE SEE A COUPLE MORE MONTHS, I WILL BE UP HERE CELEBRATING LOUDLY.

WHEN I LOOK AT LAST DOCUMENT WE HAVE WHICH IS A COMPARISON OF YEAR OVER YEAR. JUST HITTING A FEW HIGHLIGHTS.

I ALREADY MENTIONED THAT THE REVENUE FOR THE EDUCATION FUND

[00:50:01]

THAT'S SALARIES WE'RE SEEING LESS EXPENSE.

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, MUCH LARGER EXPENSE IN CURRICULAR MATERIALS IN '25 AND '26. THAT WAS THE BIG GAP THERE.

YOU NOTICE THE TRANSFERS ARE DOWN.

WE ARE TRANSFERRING LESS FROM ED TO OPS.

REFERENDUM FUND, EXPENSES, I WILL START WITH THE REVENUE.

REVENUE IS UP. THAT'S TO BE EXPECTED A LITTLE BIT. EXPENDITURES ARE DOWN.

ONE OF THOSE REASONS IS WE DO PAY OUR SROS OUT OF THE REFERENDUM AND THE TIMING OF USING OUR SCHOOL GRANT FELL DIFFERENT FROM THE TWO COMPARISONS.

WHEN YOU TAKE THAT OUT, IT'S ALMOST A WASH.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, THAT EXPENSE PIECE IS DOWN.

ENDING CASH BALANCE IS ALMOST WHERE IT WAS LAST TIME.

OPERATIONS. I MENTIONED THAT EXPENSES WERE DOWN BUT REVENUE IS ALSO DOWN. YOU THINK OF OUR GROWTH IN THE OPERATIONS FUND. THIS HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE HOMESTEAD CREDIT AND OUR CIRCUIT BREAKER LOSS.

EXPENDITURES ARE ALSO DOWN. THAT'S A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR RELATED TO THE COST STRATEGIES THAT WE PUT IN PLACE.

AND THEN YOU SEE THE TRANSFER AMOUNT IS ALMOST IDENTICAL.

THAT'S ONLY BECAUSE OF THAT ONE-TIME TRANSFER.

YOU CAN'T SEE IT AT THE BOTTOM. THERE'S A NOTE THAT EXISTS THERE. AT THE END OF THE DAY, IF YOU SCROLL DOWN JUST A DAB MORE MR. HARRISON.

OUR OVERALL CASH BALANCE IS DOWN IN THE OPERATIONS FUND.

THAT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE TRANSFER AMOUNTS AND THE HOMESTEAD CREDIT BEING INVOLVED. ALL THINGS SAID, I'M PLEASED WITH WHERE THINGS STAND NOW. I WILL BE EXCITED TO SHARE WHERE THEY STAND AT THE END OF AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER WHEN WE HAVE ALL

OF OUR NEW 26-27 INFORMATION IN. >> THANK YOU.

[7. Superintendent's Report ]

IF THERE'S NO FURTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR ANYTHING TIM BROWN PRESENTED. SEEING NONE.

I NOTED HE WAS HAPPY. THAT'S THE LAST THING I HEARD HIM SAY WHEN HE LEFT THE PODIUM. I WANT TO JUST COMMEND EVERYBODY INVOLVED TO THE GREAT START OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.

THAT STARTS AT HOME GETTING KIDS READY TO DO.

AND THEN I'M ALWAYS AMAZED THAT WE, YOU CAN GO FROM NOT BEING IN SCHOOL TO BEING IN SCHOOL AND ALL OF THE PIECES THAT MAKE THAT HAPPEN. IT'S LIKE A LIGHT SWITCH AND I'M SURE THERE ARE MANY PARENTS GLAD THEIR KIDS ARE BACK IN THE ROUTINE OF SCHOOL AND APPRECIATE OUR BUS DRIVERS AND FOOD SERVICE EMPLOYEES, OF COURSE OUR TEACHING STAFF AND CUSTODIAL STAFF GETTING THE BUILDINGS READY TO GO.

WE HAD A FEW GLITCHES WITH OUR TRANSPORTATION APP.

AND IT NOT UPDATING AS WE HAD TO MAKE CHANGES ON THE FLY.

AND THIS WEEK HAS BROUGHT TWO STORM DISMISSAL DELAYS THAT NONE OF US WERE PREDICTING. WE GOT COMMUNICATION OUT VIA PARENT SQUARE AND I THINK EVERYBODY HAS BEEN WELL INFORMED. APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S EFFORTS IN GETTING OFF AND RUNNING WITH THE SCHOOL YEAR.

THIS WEEK IS MEET THE TEACHER NIGHT.

ELEMENTARIES ARE TONIGHT AND TOMORROW HIGH SCHOOL SCHOOL.

MUD SOCK FOOTBALL. WE WILL HAVE A BOARD MEETING RIGHT BEFORE AND I'M SURE OUR FOUN FOUNDATION REPRESENTATIVES WILL TALK ABOUT THAT.

THE BIG NEWS, YESTERDAY WAS A BIG DAY.

I READ SCORES WERE RELEASED IN STATE AND WE HAVE A LOT TO CELEBRATE AS A DISTRICT. WE HAD A 97.3 % PASS RATE AS A DISTRICT WHICH IS OUR HIGHEST IN SIX YEAH. [APPLAUSE]

>> ABSOLUTELY. THE DOE CONSIDERS 95% AS KIND OF THE THRESHOLD THAT THEY WANT EVERY SCHOOL TO ACHIEVE EVERY YEAR. WE HAD ALL BUT TWO SCHOOLS MAKE THAT MARK OF 95%. OUR 11-13 ELEMENTARIES AND ONE OF OUR ELEMENTARIES WAS .2 AWAY AND THEY DON'T LET US ROUND UP.

[00:55:03]

AND WE HAD THREE SCHOOLS THAT WERE 100% PASS.

SOUTHEASTERN ELEMENTARY, HOOSIER ROAD AND GEIST.

AND 83% OF OUR SECOND GRADERS PASSED AS WELL.

AND THAT'S UP 2% FROM LAST YEAR. SO, AS A REMINDER, OUR SECOND GRADE SCORES GET CAPTURED AND APPLIED TO THE NEXT YEAR.

SO, IT'S SINCE WE MADE THAT SHIFT, I THINK IT'S BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN BEING ABLE TO THEN HONE IN ON THE STUDENTS THAT HADN'T MADE THAT WORK AS SECOND GRADERS AND PROVIDE THEM THE NEEDS, THE TOOLS TO PASS AS THIRD GRADERS.

THERE IS NOT ANY ONE MAGIC BULLET HERE FOR SUCCESS.

IT TAKES A GROUP OF EFFORTS STARTING WITH OUR TEACHERS, OF COURSE, OUR PARENTS, SUPPORTING ALL THE READING WORK AT HOME.

THE CURRICULAR RESOURCES OUR INSTRUCTIONAL COACHES.

THERE'S JUST A LIST OF THINGS THAT ALL MAKE THIS COME TOGETHER AND WORK REALLY WELL AND I THINK WE'RE SEEING THE FRUITS.

I THINK THE STAT, I LOVE THE BEST OUT OF ALL OF THESE IS IN ADDITION TO THESE IS THAT, I WENT BACK AND LOOKED AT THE STATE DATA. WE TESTED OVER 1400 STUDENTS.

NO DISTRICT OVER 600 STUDENTS TESTED.

WE WERE THE HIGHEST SCORING OF ANY DISTRICT THAT TESTED AT LEAST 600 STUDENTS AND WE, OF COURSE BLEW THAT OUT OF THE WATER. SO, SOMETIMES SCALE HURTS US IN A LOT OF WAYS AND IT'S ALWAYS MORE DIFFICULT THE CLOSER YOU GET TO 100 TO CONTINUE TO ACHIEVE AND PUSH THE ENVELOPE AND SO, KUDOS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED OUR KIDS GET ACROSS THE FINISH LINE. SO.

[8.Board Members ]

>> THANK YOU. SUZANNE THOMAS.

>> I HAVE TO DEFINITELY ECHO THAT.

THAT'S AMAZING. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF OUR STUDENTS, TEACHERS AND FAMILIES. THAT'S AMAZING.

I KNOW SARAH AND I SAT ON THE BOARD WAY BACK WHEN WE FIRST CAME, DR. KEGLEY, YOU AND YOUR ADMIN WERE PART OF THE LITERACY CHANGING IN OUR DISTRICT. THERE'S NOT JUST ONE THING.

I COMMEND YOU AND YOUR STAFF AND THE TEACHERS ARE TREMENDOUS TEACHERS FOR WORKING SO DILIGENTLY AND HARD WITH OUR STUDENTS WHO HAVE DONE SUCH GREAT WORK.

AND THAT WE HAVE SEEN THAT COME TO FRUITION.

WE CAN ALWAYS GET BETTER. THIS IS OUTSTANDING.

SO THANK YOU FOR THAT UPDATE AND THEN FINANCE AND FACILITIES COMMITTEE. THE FINANCE AND FACILITYING COMMITTEE MET ON AUGUST 6TH. WE REVIEWED HVAC.

SAFETY AND SECURITY AND UPDATES ON CURRENT CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS. MANY PROJECTS ARE INCLUDED IN THE LONG-TERM FACILITIES PLAN AND FUNDED THROUGH GO BONDS.

WE CONTINUE TO CATCH NECESSITY, AND RESPONSIBLE USE OF DISTRICT RESOURCES. WE ALSO REVIEW THE PROPOSED FACILITY RENTAL FEES BEFORE TONIGHT'S MEETING AND OUR MONTHLY REPORTS AND EVERYTHING WE HEARD TONIGHT, THE COMMITTEE WAS ABLE TO BE PART OF THAT. SO IT WAS VERY ENCOURAGING TO HEAR AT THE END OF THIS PRESENTATION TONIGHT, THE WONDERFUL NEWS ABOUT WHAT IS GOING TO BE HAPPENING WITH THE RATE. MS. PASCOE AND MR. ORR, WE GOT A SNEAK PEEK. OUR NEXT FINANCE AND FACILITIES COMMITTEE MEETING IS ON SEPTEMBER 3RD AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST BECAUSE THIS IS CLOSE TO MY HEART.

I WANTED TO SHARE FISCHER ELEMENTARY RIBBON CUTTING IS AUGUST 20TH AND EXCITED TO SEE THAT HAPPEN.

THANK YOU. >> SARAH PARKS-REESE.

>> SO THERE'S A COUPLE OF UPDATES ARE FROM THE FOUNDATION.

I WILL SHARE SOME SPECIAL LATRICA WILL SHARE THE REST.

WE HAVE OUR FIRST MEETING NEXT WEEK.

THOSE ARE NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

VIP TICKETS ARE EXPECTED TO GO ON SALE FOR THE MUD SOCK FOOTBALL GAME AT HSE THIS YEAR. SO MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR THAT.

IT'S FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 11TH. ALSO NOTE THERE'S A CONCERT AT DEER CREEK. I MIGHT START WALK TO GO HSE AT LUNCHTIME AND WE ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO FOLLOW THE HSE ON SOCIAL MEDIA FOR WHEN THE VIP TICKETS ARE RELEASED AND OTHER INFORMATION TO GET INVOLVED WITH THE EVENTS TO DONATE AND LEARN MORE ABOUT THE IMPACT ACROSS ALL 22 HSE SCHOOLS.

[01:00:01]

AND SOMETIMES A WELCOME SIGN IS JUST A WELCOME SIGN.

FINALLY, WELCOME BACK TO ALL OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF.

LOOKING FORWARD TO A GREAT YEAR AND CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN TO OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF ON AN AMAZES I READ SCORES.

DR. ALBRIGHT. >> NOTHING EXCEPT I WAS EXCITED TO SEE THE IREAD SCORES. READING IS NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART. IT'S REALLY EXCITING TO SEE HOW

WELL OUR STUDENTS ARE DOING. >> THANK YOU.

LATRICA SCHOOLEY. >> FIRST I WANT TO CELEBRATE THE INCREDIBLE START TO THE SCHOOL YEAR.

I WANT TO THANK OUR BUILDING LEADERS FOR THE MASSIVE AMOUNT OF WORK IT TAKES TO GET OUR BUILDINGS READY.

YOUR DEDICATION DOES NOT GO UNNOTICED.

WITH THAT POSITIVE MOMENTUM IN MIND, I NEED TO BRIEFLY ADDRESS THE COMMUNITY FEEDBACK WE RECEIVED THIS WEEK REGARDING BOARD COMMUNICATION AND THE INTENSE SCRUTINY ON OUR TEACHERS. THE ACTION AND STATEMENTS OF INDIVIDUAL BOARD MEMBERS DO NOT INDICATE THE CONSENSUS OF THE ENTIRE BOARD. REGARDING PROTOCOLS.

THERE'S A FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN ELECTED OFFICIAL AND OUR HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT TO ACTIVE SOLICIT GRIEVANCES.

THEY ENSURE DUE PROCESS AND OUR ADMINISTRATION IS IN POWER TO MANAGE THE CORPORATION WITHOUT INTERFERENCE.

OUR JOB IS TO WORK PUBLICLY TO FIX THE SYSTEMS. NOT TO SET UP UNOFFICIAL TIP LINE.

REGARDING INTENSE SCRUTINY OVER BASIC SIGN AN.

OUR TEACHERS WORK HARD TO MAKE SURE OUR STUDENTS ARE ENGAGED.

THE SIGN OF YOU ALL BELONG ARE PART OF A HEALTHY EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT. AND WHAT ACTUAL SUPPORT FOR EDUCATORS LOOK LIKE, I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THE HAMILTON SOUTHEASTERN FOUNDATION AM THEY ARE OPENING APPLICATIONS FOR INNOVATION GRANTS AND STUDENT SUCCESS GRANTS WHICH WILL BE AVAILABLE UNTIL SEPTEMBER 17TH. THE INNOVATION GRANTS ARE BRINGING CREATIVE INNOVATIVE IDEAS DO LIFE THAT ENHANCE AND SUPPORT CURRICULAR ALIGNMENTS THAT HELP STUDENTS SUCCEED.

I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO SEE THE HOSPITALS IN THE ELEMENTARY, FISHER JUNIOR HIGH. THEY HAVE A HOSPITAL BUILT IN AND SHOWS STUDENTS HOW AN ACTUAL EMERGENCY ROOM RUNS.

IT'S A GREAT PROGRAM AND A LOT OF SUCCESS IS DUE TO THE GRANTS.

TO OUR EDUCATORS AND STAFF, I SEE YOU AND SUPPORT YOU.

THE FOCUS OF SEVERAL COLLEAGUES WILL REMAIN ON GOVERNANCE INTEGRITY TO EDUCATE OUR STUDENTS.

>> BEN ORR. >> OBVIOUSLY WANT TO ECHO THE COMMENTS. THE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT IS REAL AND FELT. WE THANK OUR TEACHERS ALONG WITH THE VARIOUS ADMINISTRATORS AND DEPARTMENT HEADS AND DR. KEGLEY SAID, ALMOST TOO MANY TO NAME. APPRECIATE THAT AND AS MS. THOMAS SAID, SOME OF THE WORK CAME BEFORE US.

REALLY FANTASTIC WHAT THE STUDENTS ARE ACHIEVING HERE AND ALMOST SOLELY WHAT WE SHOULD BE HERE FOR.

SOME OF THESE OTHER THINGS THAT HAVE TAKEN OFF.

WE DO HAVE A JOB TO DO AS FAR AS ENFORCING POLICY.

AND YOU KNOW SOMETIMES THAT TAKES DIFFERENT FORMS AND A BIG PART OF THE JOB IS LISTENING TO COMMUNITY FEEDBACK.

WITH THAT, I HAVE SOME COMMENTS. I AGREE THAT EVERY STUDENT SHOULD FEEL TRULY WELCOMED IN OUR CLASSROOMS. THAT SHOULD BE THE BASELINE WITHOUT CONDITION.

SPECIAL SPECIFIC AFFIRMING SIGNAGE TEACHES CHILDREN TO SCAN FOR OFFENSE OR AFFIRMATION AND PREDISPOSING THEM TO ISSUES THEY MAY NOT ENCOUNTER AND NUDGES THEM TOWARD PARTICULAR POLICIES.

[01:05:05]

THE ORIGINAL RAINBOW FLAG WAS AT THE REQUEST THE HARVEY MILK AS A POLITICAL SYMBOL. THE PROGRESS PRIDE FLAG IN 2018 WAS DESIGNED BY DANIEL QUASAR TO HIGHLIGHT PEOPLE OF COLOR AND WIDELY SUPPORTED BY PARTISAN ADVOCACY NETWORKS.

THE ALL ARE WELCOME LAUNCHED IN MINNESOTA AFTER THE 2016 ELECTION DIRECTED PROCEEDS TO THE ACLU AND TRANSFORMING FAMILIES OF MINNESOTA. SAFE SPACE YOU BELONG HERE AND HATE HAS NO HOME HERE POSTERS AND STICKERS ROUTINELY DISTRIBUTED ARE ENGAGED IN PARTISAN ACTIVITIES.

THESE ARE INHERENTLY POLITICAL. DISTRICT POLICY PROHIBITS POLITICAL SIGNAGE AND REQUIRES CLASSROOMS TO REMAIN NEUTRAL.

IT DISTRACTS FROM OUR EDUCATIONAL MISSION.

MY FOCUS IS ENSURING EVERY STUDENT IS WELCOME EQUALLY.

I REMAIN COMMITTED TO CLASSROOMS WHERE ALL STUDENTS CAN SUCCEED

PROCEED WITHOUT >> THANK YOU.

DAWN LANG. >> I WILL BE ANOTHER PERSON TO ECHO THE STATEMENTS OF DR. KEGLEY.

I KNOW TESTING IS NOT FUN BUT A METRIC BY WHICH WE CAN UNDERSTAND HOW SUCCESSFUL OUR STUDENTS HAVE ACHIEVED AND THEIR COMPETENCY LEVEL.PIT'S A BEAUTI ESPECIALLY WHEN WE COMPARE THE SCORING STATE WIDE AND USE THAT AS A METRIC FOR COMPARISON.

IT TRULY SHOWS HOW OUR DISTRICT AND OUR STUDENTS HAVE EXCELLED.

IT'S A FANTASTIC JOB TO EVERYONE.

NEXT POLICY MEETING IS WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 2ND AT 8:00 A.M.

THERE'S ONE POLICY COMING BACK TO COMMITTEE.

IF YOU FEEDBACK TO THE BOARD. WE WILL TAKE FOR ADVISE:

>> AS FOR MYSELF, I WILL FOCUS ON THE FALSE ACCUSATIONS.

I ALSO WANT TO THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE WHO INVOLVED WHO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL BACK TO THE SCHOOL YEAR AND ALSO THANK YOU TO DR.

KEGLEY AND STAFF AND THE BUILDING LEADS FOR WELCOMING ME INTO THEIR BUILDINGS JUST TO SHARE FEEDBACK SO I CAN MAKE SURE WE'RE BEST SERVING OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR STUDENTS TO FURTHER SUPPORT A REFERENDUM REGARDLESS IF I ABSTAIN MY VOTE OR NOT BECAUSE I WILL N
