[0:21] a long way to school.

[0:41] Just a fun school. I think everybody

[0:42] should go here.

[0:49] » Principles, they care about our

[0:50] education and they always try to get the

[0:54] best for us.

[1:06] I want to shout out one of my favorite

[1:08] teachers who I call my bestie, Miss

[1:11] Benj.

[1:20] » No matter how hard school gets, whether

[1:21] it's academically or socially, just know

[1:23] that your teachers are always here for

[1:24] you and we'll make sure that this school

[1:26] is as positive as you want it to be.

[1:27] » My favorite class is math because we get

[1:30] to do fractions and I love fractions.

[1:32] » My dream is writing. ever since third

[1:34] grade. It's like my dream like to be an

[1:36] author.

[1:36] » I like the art room because I like to do

[1:38] art. I've been doing art for a long

[1:40] time.

[1:40] » My favorite too is football and soccer.

[1:43] I'm very very good at soccer.

[1:58] We made Frankenstein

[2:01] juice.

[2:08] How do you feel about the game? Too

[2:09] easy. We going to win.

[2:10] » We going to win.

[2:11] » Your boy number nine.

[2:12] » Okay.

[2:33] JRTC is about making informed and

[2:36] responsible citizens who live with

[2:38] honor, courage, and commitment.

[2:47] I think the best thing is getting to

[2:49] know students like you and getting them

[2:52] involved in all of the cool

[2:53] opportunities that college and

[2:55] careermies has to offer

[2:56] » And working with nonprofit partners and

[2:59] connecting them to students and staff to

[3:01] provide engaging learning experiences.

[3:58] Pathway classes really prepare you for

[4:00] [music] what you want to go into. And so

[4:01] there's a lot of opportunities where you

[4:03] can start your later education while

[4:05] still being here. Heat. Heat.

[5:20] That's what we do at APS. We just we

[5:22] good. Awesome. A stands for awesome.

[5:24] It's not accurate.

[5:25] » Inspirational.

[5:26] » Helpful. Productive.

[5:27] » Great.

[5:28] » Beneficial.

[5:29] positive and and successful.

[5:33] » There we go.

[6:10] Every day before the sun rises and the

[6:13] rest of the [music] world begins to

[6:14] awaken,

[6:16] move, and plan their days, Akran Public

[6:20] Schools prepares to change the future.

[7:26] Everyone at APS is on the same team

[12:05] Good evening.

[12:07] Good evening everyone and welcome to the

[12:09] September 21st, 2026 rules committee

[12:13] meeting of the Akran public school

[12:15] board. This meeting meets twice a month.

[12:18] I am committee chair Carmea Kelly and

[12:20] this evening I am joined by

[12:24] board president

[12:26] Barbara Sykes,

[12:29] board member Nathan Jeros, and board

[12:32] member Gregory Harrison.

[12:34] In addition to their attendance, we have

[12:37] Superintendent Utley in attendance along

[12:40] with several administrators that are

[12:43] joining us today. Thank all of you for

[12:46] joining us. In addition to those that

[12:48] are here with us in the presence, I also

[12:50] would like to acknowledge those that per

[12:53] possibly may be joining us online

[12:58] I want to take

[13:02] oh I want to take a moment to let the

[13:04] public know that the Akran public

[13:06] schools is currently migrating to a new

[13:09] board agenda and live stream platform.

[13:12] We held our first soft launch this past

[13:15] Wednesday during our committee meetings

[13:17] and tonight we will and tonight will be

[13:21] our final soft launch as we prepare for

[13:24] a full transition for next Monday at our

[13:26] regular schoolboard meeting. As with any

[13:30] new platform, there may be a few kinks

[13:33] along the way. So, please be patient

[13:35] with all of us as we're learning this

[13:37] new technology. We kindly ask for your

[13:40] patience and understanding as we may

[13:42] work through any issues that may arise.

[13:45] We appreciate your continued support and

[13:48] patience as we make this transition and

[13:51] work to provide an improved experience

[13:54] not only for our board meetings but most

[13:58] importantly for our live streams as th

[14:01] for those of you who may stream will

[14:04] watch the meetings live stream. Thank

[14:06] you for your understanding.

[14:10] At this moment, I also would like to

[14:13] approve the previous minutes for from

[14:17] our previous meeting which was held on

[14:19] September 7th.

[14:20] » So move.

[14:22] » Is there a second?

[14:24] » Second.

[14:27] [laughter]

[14:28] » Well, you need to second it.

[14:30] » Second.

[14:32] I would like to also ask is there anyone

[14:35] here to speak for for or from the

[14:39] public? Excuse me.

[14:42] It doesn't appear that we have anyone

[14:43] here from the public to speak. We will

[14:46] next we will

[14:51] » I also would like to take the time to

[14:53] acknowledge that our vice or our

[14:56] co-chair and vice president Dr. Renee

[14:59] Molinar is not here with us today.

[15:04] As we move through the agenda, I would

[15:07] also like to

[15:10] or before we discuss new topics, I would

[15:14] like to take the time out to acknowledge

[15:17] um and share the floor with our board

[15:19] president, President Sykes.

[15:22] » Thank you, Madam Chair, Madame Chair,

[15:24] and members of the board as well as

[15:27] member of the community. you know at the

[15:29] last uh finance committee meeting uh

[15:32] questions came up about our north high

[15:34] school project and uh so this is our

[15:38] first meeting that we have had that I

[15:41] can discuss this as well as this is

[15:43] rules committee so therefore rules

[15:45] committee is a committee that we also

[15:48] look at how we can proceed in solving

[15:51] issues and concerns that may come before

[15:53] the board as a whole so in looking at

[15:55] what's happening with the north high

[15:57] school project. What I am doing uh

[16:00] tonight is appointing an ad hoc

[16:03] committee to study

[16:05] uh our north high school project. Uh if

[16:08] take a look at policy 0155, it states

[16:12] that uh an ad hoc committee may be

[16:15] crafted and changed at any time by the

[16:17] president. And so I am doing that. I am

[16:20] appointing all board members to an ad

[16:23] hoc committee to study the north high

[16:26] school project as well as superintendent

[16:28] arley and superintendent buyers.

[16:32] Uh the purpose of the meeting I would

[16:35] ask this is that when ad hoc it is a

[16:38] temporary for a particular purpose and

[16:40] the particular purpose is to uh make

[16:44] sure that we gather all the information

[16:46] that we need that we review the plan the

[16:49] cost where the money is coming from in a

[16:52] timely

[16:53] way and

[16:55] receive and make sure that you bring

[16:57] those recommendations back to the

[17:00] community and the board as a Oh, now uh

[17:04] one of the concerns that have come up

[17:07] has to do with the core meeting. So, as

[17:10] we look at looking at an ad hoc

[17:13] committee to study what's happening with

[17:15] North High School, it is tempting to say

[17:19] let's just throw in middle South and um

[17:24] Fifer. Uh but it is clear that the core

[17:27] meeting is an administrative meeting.

[17:31] And it is a meeting that the

[17:33] administrative has uh the superintendent

[17:36] has set up for her administration to

[17:38] look at various issues that may come up

[17:42] under construction. So it's a day-to-day

[17:44] operation which is not the board's

[17:46] responsibility.

[17:48] The board members are responsible for

[17:50] big picture issues and should not get do

[17:52] bogged down into the day-to-day uh

[17:55] issues. Miss superintendent and her

[17:57] staff are very capable and competent and

[17:59] can handle that. However, uh board

[18:03] members uh do want to attend core

[18:05] meetings. Therefore, I am asking the

[18:08] treasurer if you would please send

[18:10] public notification and med media

[18:13] notifications the date of all times for

[18:16] core meetings and and notify the public

[18:20] and the media that board members are

[18:23] subject to attend core meetings. Again,

[18:26] the core meetings are not board

[18:29] meetings. They are not our meetings.

[18:32] they are the superintendent, her staff

[18:34] and whoever and however you choose to

[18:36] handle the core meetings. But board

[18:39] members do want to attend those

[18:41] meetings. So if the treasurer would give

[18:43] proper notification that board members

[18:46] are subject to attend those meetings and

[18:49] subject to be the majority of the board

[18:50] meetings, then we will cover the open

[18:53] meeting and sunshine law rules in that

[18:56] way. [snorts]

[18:57] meaning that any meeting that is

[18:59] pre-arranged or discussions of a

[19:01] business of the business of the school

[19:04] board should be it's not that board

[19:06] members cannot attend meetings it's just

[19:08] that we need to notify

[19:11] when board members will be there so I

[19:13] think that that will help uh to solve

[19:17] the issue that board members may have

[19:20] and attending core meetings uh the other

[19:23] part of this is the chain effect of

[19:26] members

[19:27] uh wanting to discuss a particular issue

[19:30] as it relates to construction or

[19:32] whatever it may be,

[19:35] talking to one person about it uh and

[19:38] then talking to another person about it

[19:40] and before we know it then we've had a

[19:42] chain effect and so we want to avoid

[19:45] that also. I think that if we send out

[19:48] notice to everyone that board members uh

[19:51] will be participating in the court

[19:52] meeting that that may that may solve

[19:55] that. I would also ask uh for the uh

[20:02] meeting what I for this ad hoc committee

[20:06] meeting I will appoint uh member Jerose

[20:10] to chair the meeting. Member Gerro I

[20:13] will ask you to do what I would expect

[20:15] every chair member to do. First, make

[20:18] sure that all members have an equal

[20:19] opportunity to ask questions, to

[20:21] participate, and to create a clear plan

[20:25] to complete the task in a timely manner

[20:28] by interacting with all board members.

[20:31] Making sure that all board members have

[20:33] the opportunity to participate, to ask

[20:36] questions, and to receive any and all

[20:38] information that may be coming to the ad

[20:41] hoc committee. I will ask the

[20:43] superintendent and the treasurer if you

[20:45] have any information that has been

[20:47] requested by anyone any particular board

[20:52] make sure that all board members receive

[20:54] the information and then finally Mr.

[20:57] Rose, I would ask that you uh summarize

[21:00] the results and that you uh provide the

[21:04] recommendation to this community as to

[21:08] how we should proceed with the North

[21:11] High School project.

[21:18] It is important that we make sure that

[21:20] we constantly are doing what uh we do in

[21:25] the eye of the public because we want to

[21:28] make sure that we are accountable.

[21:31] uh that we discourage any misconduct,

[21:35] that we reinforce trust in our

[21:38] governance, and that we explore

[21:42] uh and that we make sure that the public

[21:45] has an opportunity to participate in any

[21:48] discussion. So, member Gerro, as you

[21:51] begin, would you please let the

[21:53] treasurers know uh

[21:57] or ask the treasurer to send out notices

[22:00] of

[22:01] available dates so that all members can

[22:04] respond to the treasury as we usually do

[22:06] to determine when we are available to

[22:10] meet and knowing that those meetings uh

[22:14] should come as soon as possible. I know

[22:16] the community is anxious to find out

[22:18] what's happening with middle with the

[22:20] North High School. I know the members

[22:22] are anxious to find out what's happening

[22:24] to uh North High School. And then

[22:28] finally, let me just just make one point

[22:32] about uh

[22:34] this levy. So when we took a look at the

[22:38] levy and how much we should consider

[22:43] asking for the levy,

[22:46] uh members may remember may not remember

[22:49] that the original language consists of

[22:51] two levies.

[22:54] One levy was a language that dealt with

[22:58] operational

[23:00] because it was our position that because

[23:03] of House Bill 920

[23:06] uh we were not able to receive funds

[23:10] from levies that had been passed years

[23:13] back because of what? Because of

[23:15] inflation. So House Bill 920 said that

[23:18] we could not receive inflation funds. we

[23:23] we received the money from any levy as

[23:26] of the time period that we voted on that

[23:29] levy. So if it was 30 years ago that was

[23:31] it. So regardless of what happened since

[23:33] 30 years and how much inflation have

[23:36] taken place we were not able to receive

[23:38] any money uh from any past levies. So we

[23:42] needed a operational levy to try and at

[23:45] least accommodate some of the inflation

[23:48] that had taken place over the years. The

[23:51] second item dealt with North High School

[23:54] and building North High School. So, we

[23:57] actually ended up uh discussing how to

[24:00] proceed with this and the former

[24:03] treasurer uh recommendation was that we

[24:06] should combine the levies so that if

[24:09] quite frankly if a citizen voted for one

[24:12] part of the levy then both parts of the

[24:15] levy pass and that is in essence what

[24:18] happened. So the one levy was 7.6

[24:22] 7.6 which millage which generates $26

[24:26] million per year operational funds. The

[24:30] other part of the language indicated

[24:32] that we would uh

[24:35] provide a an amount that would equal to

[24:40] 85 million over a 37year period.

[24:44] normally is 30 but was this was over

[24:47] 37year period in order to build North

[24:51] High School. So that would go the

[24:54] maximum would be about 2.2

[24:57] 2.2 millillage each year. Right now I

[25:00] think per the treasur we're probably at

[25:02] like 1.26.

[25:04] So we have not met that 2.2 yet to

[25:07] generate the funds. uh we've we're

[25:09] generating the funds that we projected

[25:11] we put would each year and we did not we

[25:13] have not made it to the 2.2. So where we

[25:16] are now so right now annually we are

[25:19] receiving 26 million operating expenses

[25:22] from the levy that was passed plus the

[25:25] 85 million

[25:27] um over the 37y year time period. If you

[25:32] add the 26 million the 85 million it is

[25:35] $111 million. So that's how we arrived

[25:39] at the hund00 million. Uh part of it was

[25:43] operated. It was not

[25:46] all North High School. It has only been

[25:49] $85 million for the North High School

[25:52] from beginning to the end. Today and

[25:56] tomorrow 85 million is what it was

[25:59] projected that we would need in order to

[26:02] uh build

[26:04] uh North High School. So having said

[26:06] that, we will proceed with the ad hoc

[26:09] committee. I would just ask the

[26:11] superintendent and treasurer or any

[26:12] members if you have any questions on

[26:14] anything that I just said.

[26:19] » I do not have any questions, Madam

[26:21] President. Thank you,

[26:22] » Mr. uh treasurer.

[26:25] » Okay.

[26:26] All righty. So Okay.

[26:35] I I'm not sure if we'll be able to

[26:36] notice this week's meeting, but we will

[26:39] definitely get next week's meeting on

[26:40] the on the books as soon as possible.

[26:42] » I know we we are within that time. We

[26:44] won't be able to, but at least we're

[26:46] announcing it now. And we can call the

[26:49] press and let them know that board

[26:51] members are subject to attend the core

[26:53] meeting. Is that Wednesday at what time?

[26:57] » One o'clock.

[26:57] » Wednesday at one one o'clock. And going

[27:00] forward, yeah, we would be in the uh

[27:03] adequate the length of time that the

[27:06] policy requires that we do. Thank you.

[27:09] Appreciate it. But would you get that

[27:10] out anyway? Uh, treasurer, even though

[27:13] it may be less time for the

[27:15] notification, but would you please could

[27:17] you still get that out by tomorrow?

[27:20] » Okay. Thank you. Appreciate that. All

[27:22] righty. Thank you, Madame Chair, for

[27:24] allowing me to make those comments.

[27:27] » Uh, thank you, President Sykes. Um

[27:33] information with us and um regarding the

[27:37] the ad hoc committee member Jeros JRO

[27:42] that you along with the other board

[27:44] members um including myself are able to

[27:46] accomplish.

[1:02:17] And then item 23 is the donation of 321

[1:02:20] books for all ages from books a million

[1:03:18] that we provide for our students in our

[1:03:21] district that um need those additional

[1:03:24] support. So I I would like to thank

[1:03:25] whomever donated those items to uh

[1:03:28] project rise and the families that

[1:03:30] utilize those services.

[1:03:32] We will now move forward to agenda item

[1:03:35] 20.02.

[1:03:37] This is a resolution accepting the OSCA

[1:03:40] school counselor programming grant and

[1:03:43] under resolution number 26152.

[1:03:47] It is in the amount of $500 for bookal

[1:03:50] CLC from the OCA school counseling

[1:03:54] program grant. It is designated to go

[1:03:57] directly there and will foster an

[1:03:58] environment of acceptance and belonging

[1:04:01] as well as improve literacy, engagement,

[1:04:03] and cross-cultural awareness along with

[1:04:06] peer leadership. These funds will be

[1:04:08] used to purchase bilingual and dual

[1:04:10] language books, journals, and other

[1:04:12] reading materials to be used in small

[1:04:15] group activities. Should the board

[1:04:17] approve the acceptance of the $500

[1:04:19] grant, it will be assigned to fund

[1:04:21] 0192762.

[1:04:26] Does the committee recommend placing

[1:04:27] agenda item 20.02 on the consent agenda?

[1:04:32] » So move.

[1:04:32] » Are there any objections by the

[1:04:34] committee or board members?

[1:04:36] Hearing no objections, I recom I

[1:04:38] recommend placing agenda item 20.02 on

[1:04:40] the consent agenda. Agenda item 20.03.

[1:04:48] Okay. I don't happen to have that one.

[1:04:50] Just a moment. Please

[1:04:51] » Take your time.

[1:04:55] Oh, that's my chiller. All right. I had

[1:04:57] it down here as 20.04. I apologize.

[1:05:01] » No, thank you. Again, this is we're all

[1:05:03] learning this new software together. So,

[1:05:06] some sometimes there's some minor

[1:05:08] mistakes, but that doesn't mean that we

[1:05:10] can't correct them.

[1:05:11] » At the finance committee meeting, and as

[1:05:13] the board um members are well aware, we

[1:05:16] had vandalism of the air conditioning

[1:05:18] units at East over the Labor Day

[1:05:20] holiday. And at the time, in order to

[1:05:24] get the school cool as we were still

[1:05:26] into the heating season, we worked with

[1:05:28] Gardener Service Company to rent a

[1:05:31] mobile unit that was actually placed

[1:05:34] onto the property the following

[1:05:35] Thursday, and we were able to lower the

[1:05:38] temperatures that were found to be at

[1:05:39] 90° inside on Wednesday to 72 the

[1:05:43] following morning. What this uh urgent

[1:05:45] necessity resolution is asking is for

[1:05:48] approval to actually rent the uh mobile

[1:05:52] unit we have had placed under urgent

[1:05:54] necessity at the uh one month rate of

[1:05:58] $26,000

[1:06:00] uh for us to keep the school operating

[1:06:03] and cool as we make the repair. Please

[1:06:05] be advised this has been filed with a

[1:06:08] police report. The police report has

[1:06:11] also uh included a security video that

[1:06:14] we were able to obtain to this location

[1:06:17] during the vandalism that happened at

[1:06:19] 2:20 in the morning of the morning of

[1:06:22] Labor Day. And we also have filed the

[1:06:24] insurance claim and have started this

[1:06:26] process and part of this will be part of

[1:06:29] that claim as well. So we're asking for

[1:06:31] the board to allow us to approve that

[1:06:34] rental of this unit for the one month

[1:06:36] while we get the repair. I also have an

[1:06:39] advisement. As of today, we had uh

[1:06:42] Gardner and Johnson provide us repair

[1:06:46] um services for the units that were

[1:06:48] damaged and through the insurance

[1:06:51] company. It has been determined that

[1:06:52] Gardener would be the supplier of the

[1:06:55] repair due to the shorter time frame

[1:06:58] also to be covered under our insurance

[1:07:00] policy. I got that information at 2:30

[1:07:02] this afternoon. So, I wanted to see if

[1:07:05] we could see see this urgent necessity

[1:07:07] move forward and obtain and issue the

[1:07:10] purchase order so that we could engage

[1:07:12] and finalize this urgent issue to put a

[1:07:15] mobile unit on the back of the school to

[1:07:17] keep it cool.

[1:07:20] » Does the committee recommend uh placing

[1:07:22] agenda item

[1:07:24] 20.03 on the consent agenda?

[1:07:28] » Member Harrison.

[1:07:30] » Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I

[1:07:32] have a question. Is is this um

[1:07:35] resolution is this these funds coming

[1:07:37] out the 034 fund or is this general

[1:07:39] fund?

[1:07:40] » It would be 034 to start the purchase

[1:07:42] order but the reimbursement below or

[1:07:45] anything I should say above our

[1:07:47] deductible will reimburse the 034 funds.

[1:07:50] » Thank you.

[1:07:50] » You're welcome.

[1:07:54] » Does the committee or board members have

[1:07:56] additional questions?

[1:08:00] Uh, no additional questions, but I would

[1:08:03] just recommend that we put it on the uh,

[1:08:06] regular agenda in the event that some

[1:08:08] other board members may have questions

[1:08:10] about it.

[1:08:12] » Thank you, President Sykes.

[1:08:15] We're recommending the committee is

[1:08:16] recommending that agenda item 20.03 be

[1:08:18] placed on the regular agenda.

[1:08:21] Uh, thank you, director, for for uh,

[1:08:23] sharing that additional information with

[1:08:25] us. We will now move forward to agenda

[1:08:28] item 20.01.

[1:08:31] But before we start to read them off, um

[1:08:34] again for th those of you that are uh

[1:08:36] following us, um there are 27 items that

[1:08:40] we will review under business affairs.

[1:08:46] We will start with agenda item 21.01.

[1:08:50] » 21.01 01 is a memorandum of

[1:08:53] understanding with Kaiga Falls City

[1:08:55] Schools. It is a non-public and they're

[1:08:58] recommending a contract as fiscal agent

[1:09:01] for theou that Akran public schools will

[1:09:04] provide property licensed educators to

[1:09:07] implement the title one programming

[1:09:09] servicing Ka Falls City School students

[1:09:12] attending redeemer Lutheran school

[1:09:15] within the Kyoka Falls school district

[1:09:17] boundary for 2627.

[1:09:19] The total cost to be invoiced by APS to

[1:09:23] Kaga Falls is a total not to exceed

[1:09:26] 31,28631.

[1:09:29] So we are providing the services and

[1:09:31] they are paying us to provide them.
