operations and finance update Mr. Hacker.

27
00:07:10,790 --> 00:07:11,430
Thank you very much.

28
00:07:11,630 --> 00:07:15,630
Just a few items this evening to touch based on kind of across the board.

29
00:07:16,270 --> 00:07:17,430
First is an update.

30
00:07:18,110 --> 00:07:18,950
I believe in August.

31
00:07:19,150 --> 00:07:21,370
We share the immunization compliance plan.

32
00:07:21,710 --> 00:07:24,970
As we are we today is actually the day that students without

33
00:07:24,970 --> 00:07:29,430
proper documentation of submitting all the required immunizations were excluded.

34
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:59,980
Again, show this, again, just to know that there are a lot of contacts between schools and families, which students who were non-compliant, as a reminder, we would accept not only updated immunization records, but a verification of appointments, there is also religious exemption as well, and so there are a few several items where folks can move off of this particular plan. Building nurses also, a huge part of this process, they were extremely hard, knowing that, as our goal to have zero students,

35
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:05,740
on exclusion day. We never quite meet that goal, but here's where we fell for this particular

36
00:08:05,740 --> 00:08:10,760
school year as of today. You can see each week from each particular school, how many students

37
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:15,760
that we were able to move off of that list. So we think back week one, which is August 14th.

38
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:23,980
You can see we had a total of 596 students who were considered non-compliant. As you move down,

39
00:08:23,980 --> 00:08:30,940
on the list there, drops the 425 a week, 2, 268, 1, 266, 63, and then today we did have 28 students

40
00:08:30,940 --> 00:08:35,540
that fell on the exclusion list, but we'll continue to work with those families to try to make

41
00:08:35,540 --> 00:08:39,620
sure they are back as soon as possible. That is an individual conversation. It's difficult for me

42
00:08:39,620 --> 00:08:44,180
to say, hey, here's what we're doing to help that. That's really between the, especially high school,

43
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,520
it's going to be between the teams and the nurse working right alongside the families,

44
00:08:47,620 --> 00:08:52,520
trying to ensure that this is not something that's a substantial long period of time. And usually,

45
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:57,540
Once we reach this day, it doesn't take very long for the family to understand, oh yes, this

46
00:08:57,540 --> 00:09:02,300
is actually happening and they get the documentation to us so we can have this due to right back.

47
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,520
So, overall, very successful process.

48
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,640
If you think about the work we took place, we could get us from 596 students down to 28.

49
00:09:10,300 --> 00:09:15,280
Again, appreciate the hard work from our nurses, our counselors, and our building administrators

50
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:16,900
to help make this process possible.

51
00:09:17,660 --> 00:09:19,760
So, let's update on the immunization.

52
00:09:20,860 --> 00:09:22,200
Any questions on that form?

53
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,040
It's going to be a different topic I move to.

54
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,020
So I want to make sure any questions comparable.

55
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,440
Yeah, this is kind of where we follow each year.

56
00:09:28,700 --> 00:09:29,600
A very similar percentage.

57
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,760
Again, we'd love for that to be as a zero,

58
00:09:34,060 --> 00:09:36,420
but unfortunately, whether and quite honestly,

59
00:09:36,980 --> 00:09:38,900
as a parent, I got the letter this year.

60
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,440
Our 12th grader was not compliant.

61
00:09:40,580 --> 00:09:41,720
We had to have them packed.

62
00:09:43,060 --> 00:09:44,220
So, you know, families are busy,

63
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,820
but this is something because it's a state law.

64
00:09:46,940 --> 00:09:47,780
We take very seriously.

65
00:09:47,780 --> 00:09:50,900
and work those families continuously over the next,

66
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,140
however many days it takes to get them back in class.

67
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,560
Okay, shift in more to the finance side,

68
00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:00,900
and this is actually a slide that I've shared previously

69
00:10:00,900 --> 00:10:04,680
at board meetings, believe we talked about this in July.

70
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,760
So the reason I bring it back up is we have now received

71
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,240
our certified net assessed value,

72
00:10:11,660 --> 00:10:14,160
and I just wanted to talk about that a little bit

73
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,280
and kind of again, compare some things

74
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,280
when we talk about our tax rate, obviously tonight

75
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:23,360
I'll have the budget hearing, but look at our tax rate and some of the impact of that legislation

76
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:28,660
is had on our tax rate and really the strategy and plan that we put in place.

77
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,980
And while I'm not going to go back through everything that I talked in July, just want to remind

78
00:10:32,980 --> 00:10:38,140
folks that really this on the left was beforecent and roll deck one and the graph there

79
00:10:38,140 --> 00:10:44,360
from policy analytics, the blue bars up to really the green represents the net assess value

80
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:49,260
growth that Brown's saw over those each one of those years.

81
00:10:50,180 --> 00:10:51,900
And then the orange would be the projections.

82
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:59,140
So when we received, when we met as a group back in 2020, I think that was 2024, when

83
00:10:59,140 --> 00:11:01,460
that green bar was 2024, yes.

84
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:08,840
When we met back then, we had an increase of 14.5% and projections showed because of how

85
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:13,660
the excess value was calculated that we would receive in 7.7 percent.

86
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,380
That's what you see that orange bar there, 4.6.

87
00:11:16,620 --> 00:11:20,580
And then really almost an average of a little over 4 percent over the next 10 years

88
00:11:20,580 --> 00:11:23,640
that we'd receive and assess value growth.

89
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,040
Again, assess value has a major impact on taxes, right?

90
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:29,520
So that's really the main factor.

91
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,820
As assess value has increased, and that's the main factor.

92
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:37,500
The taxpayers have seen an increase in property taxes paid year over year.

93
00:11:37,940 --> 00:11:42,920
But this is one of those things that helps us lower the tax rate as our as assessed value grows

94
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,600
We're able to kind of bring that tax rate down. We have for 13 consecutive years

95
00:11:47,380 --> 00:11:50,460
But the reason I bring this up is it was a reminder that in 2024

96
00:11:50,460 --> 00:11:55,260
This is really when all the projects that were in place that you continue to see even being finished up now

97
00:11:55,860 --> 00:12:02,860
Our debt plan is not veered off of those projects. This included ever all the debt that you currently see from the capital side in place

98
00:12:02,860 --> 00:12:08,380
And a reminder that we were going to go from $1.467 that these assessed value projections

99
00:12:08,380 --> 00:12:14,680
down to what we thought in 2029 was $1.229, almost a quarter that we were about a quarter

100
00:12:14,680 --> 00:12:18,120
that we were going to drop from a tax rate because of that assessed value growth.

101
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,940
And a reminder that each year and we sell a bond, we had the opportunity working with our

102
00:12:22,940 --> 00:12:28,480
finance team to determine the best debt payment plan that fits within this tax rate strategy.

103
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:37,480
So, it's not, if we sell a $10 million bond, it's not over 20 years, you're not paying a half-million-dollar-ever-single-year, that's not how that works.

104
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:43,300
Ultimately, we set up that 20-year payment plan based on how much debt is falling off each year.

105
00:12:43,580 --> 00:12:48,380
What does those assess value growth look like and how do we manage the tax rate?

106
00:12:49,140 --> 00:12:54,480
So, when we had that in place, again, we knew we were going to have strong assess value growth these first couple years.

107
00:12:54,480 --> 00:13:02,860
So we set up our debt management plan to pay off more to much more principle during that time, so we had higher payments in that strategy.

108
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,880
And once you sell the bond, those are locked in for 20 years.

109
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:12,300
We do have at 10-year mark, we can potentially look at refund or refinance those.

110
00:13:12,740 --> 00:13:16,180
But for the most part, that is set in place for 20 years.

111
00:13:17,420 --> 00:13:20,140
Over to the right, you'll see what happened after Senate and World Act 1.

112
00:13:20,140 --> 00:13:23,420
And if we think there's lots of components to Senate and World Act 1,

113
00:13:23,660 --> 00:13:26,420
but one of the big one is how the net assessed value is calculated.

114
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:34,660
Again, we went from projections of 7.7% to a dropped because of centeruct in 2025 to 3.6.

115
00:13:34,940 --> 00:13:38,680
And then we were expected to see an actually decrease in assessed value

116
00:13:38,680 --> 00:13:42,340
as we transitioned into the full implementation of Senate and World Act 1,

117
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,240
with the adjustments to our assessed value is calculated.

118
00:13:46,100 --> 00:13:52,100
So, with those new projections, again, with the same amount of debt, and 2029, what we thought

119
00:13:52,100 --> 00:13:57,740
was going to be a tax rate of $1.22, just over $1.22, and 2029 was going to increase

120
00:13:57,740 --> 00:14:03,140
of $1.66. Again, the same amount of debt, unfortunately, when the assessed value projections

121
00:14:03,140 --> 00:14:09,260
drop, and our debt plan is already set, then we can no longer look at dropping that tax rate.

122
00:14:09,260 --> 00:14:15,240
So, we talked about that in July and wanted to kind of bring up its good news and bad news.

123
00:14:15,420 --> 00:14:17,060
I should say when we talked about assess value.

124
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,320
So, the 2027 net assess value actually grew.

125
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,440
It didn't decline by 0.09%.

126
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:29,380
So, while that is better than what we thought here, it still is not in line with what we thought

127
00:14:29,380 --> 00:14:31,860
here when we originally set up all of these debt payments.

128
00:14:32,860 --> 00:14:38,260
So, while this, and we meet on September 23rd with our finance team,

129
00:14:38,260 --> 00:14:43,320
really dive into all of this to understand what the future assess value projections are going

130
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,960
to look like. But what I can tell you is that this is going to look a little better and

131
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:52,840
we'll have to work with the finance team to decide what tax rate or 2027 and such might look

132
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:57,640
forward and look like moving forward. But hoping that we can look at that number make it a little

133
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,980
better because of the small increase.

134
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:10,740
In the net assessed value based on projections. So again, good news is it was a little higher than projected, bad news is it's not what the original projections were, basically when we set up our debt plan.

135
00:15:11,740 --> 00:15:21,520
To kind of look at that from the county standpoint, you can see from all of our county districts there, what the percent difference, whether it was a growth or a decline in the assessed value.

136
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:27,160
This is substantially different for Hendrix County than what we've seen in the past several years.

137
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:33,200
So, while green is good, and for some counties, even a small little bit of growth has been great over the last several years.

138
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:50,520
It's not been the case in Hendrix County, but again, we do feel fortunate to be on the positive side of that, even 0.09, where it looks like Avon was the biggest winner in the SES value growth, 1.5, 1% and Northus Hendrix had the did CAD increase and a drought from 2.31%.

139
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:55,040
So, again, just information for the board here, we will know after we've worked with the

140
00:15:55,040 --> 00:16:00,540
finance team and after we get through the rest of the fall by December, we should have

141
00:16:00,540 --> 00:16:03,600
a good idea of where our final tax rate will fall.

142
00:16:03,900 --> 00:16:08,760
Again, think about our bond sales that we've had over the last several years, we've cash flowed

143
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,380
those so that we didn't take all the project dollars out in one year.

144
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,580
We knew exactly how much it would cost us over a year and that's how much we've taken

145
00:16:16,580 --> 00:16:16,940
out.

146
00:16:16,940 --> 00:16:23,880
We do have a upcoming bond sale, I should be in October, to wrap up about $15.5 million.

147
00:16:24,820 --> 00:16:28,380
And so, in much smaller because we're on the tail end of all the projects.

148
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,340
So we will have that sale and we actually have a few approvals later on this evening.

149
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:37,260
Because of that, but once we find out what the interest rate there is and look at the assess value,

150
00:16:37,340 --> 00:16:38,660
we should have that final tax rate.

151
00:16:38,660 --> 00:16:41,260
Really, really hoping it drops again for year 14.

152
00:16:42,060 --> 00:16:45,720
But again, because the assess value is so different than what we did when we locked in those payments,

153
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:51,460
That's yet to be determined so can happy to answer any questions, but just some information for you and I about assess value

154
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:58,560
Mr. Hacker, I think the 2027 net is assessed value for A1. That's

155
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,500
That's an error is that correct. Oh, yeah, yep, that is that is an error. Thank you very much

156
00:17:02,500 --> 00:17:04,900
It was just five in real quick that much

157
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:12,240
So I was a copy based I've got to fleet the four sir. Yeah, it should be the five and then then the common-off board

158
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:16,340
Other questions?

159
00:17:19,100 --> 00:17:20,620
That's all I have for receiving for the option.

160
00:17:21,300 --> 00:17:21,940
Finance update.

161
00:17:23,020 --> 00:17:23,460
Great.

162
00:17:23,620 --> 00:17:24,380
Thank you.

163
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:25,840
Curriculum and instruction update.

164
00:17:26,060 --> 00:17:26,620
Dr. Jessam?

165
00:17:27,260 --> 00:17:27,720
Thank you.

166
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:32,200
This is a new thing we're going to do at the board meeting, moving forward.

167
00:17:32,780 --> 00:17:34,840
Just give some information about curriculum and instruction.

168
00:17:35,460 --> 00:17:40,520
This time I'm actually going to highlight a little bit from elementary, something from the middle school

169
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:41,460
on something from the high school.

170
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,480
I don't think that that's always going to be the direction I'm going to take with us.

171
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,880
But for our initial out of the gates, that's what we're going to do.

172
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,980
So, starting from the elementary, you wanted to share with you a partnership with Hendrix Regional Health.

173
00:17:52,980 --> 00:17:56,420
All third grade students, our participating in a program called Wakeup.

174
00:17:57,060 --> 00:18:03,920
Wakeup was written by two of our very own Brownsburg teachers and two Hendrix Regional Health Registered Dietitians.

175
00:18:04,620 --> 00:18:09,420
Of course, focused on the Indiana Academic Standards to develop a curriculum that focus on healthy lifestyle choices.

176
00:18:09,420 --> 00:18:17,460
So, these lessons take place during our science blocks and the great thing about this is all of the materials, everything that was designed,

177
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:23,420
there are magnets, there are workbooks, there are all kinds of handouts for the kids that they're able to use and take home.

178
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,480
We're paid for through a grant through the Hendrix Regional Health Foundation.

179
00:18:26,900 --> 00:18:30,420
So, this really came out of our partnership with Hendrix Regional Health,

180
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:36,000
and should this pilot go well, it is something that they are hoping to be able to share across the county.

181
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,960
So, excited about that.

182
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,100
With our middle school.

183
00:18:42,410 --> 00:18:45,910
One is to bring to your attention Indiana Code 20, 30, 18, 3,

184
00:18:46,850 --> 00:18:52,050
which is a change in placement for students based on middle school math.

185
00:18:52,470 --> 00:18:54,870
So, when we looked at our Island Math assessments,

186
00:18:55,310 --> 00:19:00,070
if students scored above proficient as well as a C in their current math class,

187
00:19:00,270 --> 00:19:02,130
they had to be accelerated in math.

188
00:19:03,170 --> 00:19:05,030
What this did,

189
00:19:07,110 --> 00:19:32,110
while it's not a bad idea, what hurt us this year and actually all schools in Indiana is the fact that we did not receive

190
00:19:32,110 --> 00:19:36,230
that for some students they would be going from math seven

191
00:19:36,230 --> 00:19:39,970
placements to an algebra placement which meant they missed pre-algebra.

192
00:19:40,690 --> 00:19:45,510
We feel very strongly that pre-algebra is a course that really helps

193
00:19:45,510 --> 00:19:49,370
build that foundation for those higher level math classes and we

194
00:19:49,370 --> 00:19:53,690
had a lot of concerns about that. So we preemptively, as I said,

195
00:19:53,830 --> 00:19:56,570
placed about a hundred students in advanced math courses when we

196
00:19:56,570 --> 00:20:00,730
did finally receive the scores in August, we had an additional 20 students

197
00:20:00,730 --> 00:20:02,090
that we needed to move.

198
00:20:02,850 --> 00:20:05,770
So our concern about these moves after the school year started

199
00:20:05,770 --> 00:20:07,850
is I don't think anybody thinks middle school

200
00:20:07,850 --> 00:20:10,390
and thinks why it would be great to change their placement

201
00:20:10,390 --> 00:20:13,330
after they've already established relationships in friends.

202
00:20:14,250 --> 00:20:16,330
But we were able to call parents

203
00:20:16,330 --> 00:20:18,230
and give them the option of whether they wanted to move

204
00:20:18,230 --> 00:20:20,210
or whether they did not want to move.

205
00:20:20,570 --> 00:20:25,490
Moving from there over the summer to get ahead of this,

206
00:20:25,650 --> 00:20:27,710
our middle school math teachers worked on curriculum maps,

207
00:20:27,710 --> 00:20:30,770
to help fill those gaps that would be lost by skipping pre-algebra.

208
00:20:32,010 --> 00:20:37,970
We are hearing a struggle for students that were required to be moved to those courses

209
00:20:37,970 --> 00:20:39,630
and are providing appropriate support.

210
00:20:40,190 --> 00:20:44,170
We do believe this will move more smoothly next year because we should have our I-Learners

211
00:20:44,170 --> 00:20:45,910
results before this school year start.

212
00:20:46,470 --> 00:20:50,690
So this year is kind of anomaly with this, but if you're hearing any murmurings about

213
00:20:50,690 --> 00:20:55,770
math and math being harder this year, I think it's directly related to this.

214
00:20:56,990 --> 00:20:59,850
And then finally wanted to talk to you about SAT.

215
00:21:00,110 --> 00:21:06,350
We've talked a little bit about SAT scores and the fact that our scores as a high school

216
00:21:06,350 --> 00:21:08,950
were not where they wanted them, where we want them to be.

217
00:21:09,430 --> 00:21:13,790
So in the orange at the bottom, that is the state average at the top is the Brownsford

218
00:21:13,790 --> 00:21:14,170
average.

219
00:21:14,290 --> 00:21:16,690
And this is just a specific two map.

220
00:21:17,470 --> 00:21:21,450
So this is an area that we're working on here, the things that we have in place for this

221
00:21:21,450 --> 00:21:22,090
here.

222
00:21:22,670 --> 00:21:27,250
Tuesdays and Thursdays, we have a schoology spiro of you course that every student gets.

223
00:21:27,490 --> 00:21:32,410
This provides English language arts and math SATs type questions that students will complete during fifth period.

224
00:21:33,270 --> 00:21:36,310
We do those during fifth period because as you know that is our lunch period,

225
00:21:36,510 --> 00:21:41,470
so there is a little extra time in fifth period, whether you have A, B, or C lunch, there is extra time.

226
00:21:41,630 --> 00:21:43,770
So all of our students will receive those through schoology.

227
00:21:44,410 --> 00:21:46,750
And then there are PLC specific additions.

228
00:21:46,750 --> 00:21:50,190
So all of our algebra teachers, all of our geometry teachers,

229
00:21:50,550 --> 00:21:52,570
algebra 2, and dual credit and AP classes,

230
00:21:53,170 --> 00:21:56,870
have different things that they do based on what we believe

231
00:21:56,870 --> 00:21:58,230
is appropriate for their students.

232
00:21:58,330 --> 00:22:01,990
So an algebra 1, we're really looking at a PSAT spiral view.

233
00:22:02,390 --> 00:22:03,670
That's in all of our note packets.

234
00:22:04,190 --> 00:22:07,390
And then there are follow-up quizzes given based on those spiral reviews.

235
00:22:08,110 --> 00:22:10,510
In geometry, we're using delta math assignments.

236
00:22:11,370 --> 00:22:14,550
That is immediately graded, which gives students immediate feedback.

237
00:22:14,550 --> 00:22:16,790
Now, there are two, we're using Khan Academy.

238
00:22:17,310 --> 00:22:20,810
Khan Academy has a really good program for SAT prep,

239
00:22:21,430 --> 00:22:25,330
so by making this part of what they're doing in their classes all the time,

240
00:22:25,470 --> 00:22:28,270
our students are having more at-bats with that,

241
00:22:28,290 --> 00:22:29,970
and then finally in our dual credit.

242
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:36,760
But at an AP classroom, so we are doing spiral reviews, kind of academy assignments, and then very intentional warm-ups with our students.

243
00:22:37,620 --> 00:22:54,620
So, we are also seeing in our professional growth plans for teachers a concentration on either SAT or what we talked about at our retreat last week, three before, with graduation requirements.

244
00:22:54,620 --> 00:23:00,580
and making sure that we're providing opportunities for those graduation pieces that we need to get in as well.

245
00:23:01,220 --> 00:23:06,140
So that is our very first curriculum instruction update. Any questions that I can answer?

246
00:23:06,820 --> 00:23:11,320
Yeah, so at the middle school level, pre-altered was not considered as advanced class by the state.

247
00:23:11,500 --> 00:23:13,460
So that's why you had a bumple up the algorithms.

248
00:23:14,780 --> 00:23:21,740
So if they were in math seven and they scored above proficient, you accelerated over it.

249
00:23:22,500 --> 00:23:26,580
And so for some students, they required them to go into it because they would be skipping that

250
00:23:26,580 --> 00:23:29,220
sex to go into the pre-algebra.

251
00:23:30,180 --> 00:23:34,620
But we shared our concerns with the DOE but the DOE's hands were also tied because this

252
00:23:34,620 --> 00:23:39,140
was a legislative decision that was made about what we needed to do with math.

253
00:23:39,300 --> 00:23:39,780
Got it.

254
00:23:39,940 --> 00:23:40,160
Got it.

255
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,220
And then on the high school on the SAT scores, is the English, is it similar?

256
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:45,980
We're going to do that next month.

257
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:46,780
Okay.

258
00:23:47,460 --> 00:23:47,840
Stay tuned.

259
00:23:49,620 --> 00:23:51,060
Thank you.

260
00:23:51,120 --> 00:23:52,940
First reading on policies, Dr. Jessam?

261
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:54,780
Thank you.

262
00:23:55,200 --> 00:24:01,580
This is our first reading of policies for authority and philosophy, school board organization

263
00:24:01,580 --> 00:24:08,180
meeting board of finance and committees, school board meetings, corporation organization, evaluation

264
00:24:08,180 --> 00:24:13,180
of the superintendent, board staff communications, community use of school facilities, relations

265
00:24:13,180 --> 00:24:16,880
with special interest groups and public comments and concerns.

266
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,720
This is a first reading.

267
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,920
Our plan would be to do a second reading and approval next month.

268
00:24:25,420 --> 00:24:29,780
It did have one question about the public comments and concerns H225.

269
00:24:30,700 --> 00:24:38,000
I believe that the language offers two minutes for public comment.

270
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,520
And currently we operate with a three minute window for public comment.

271
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,400
I think we should keep that consistent.

272
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,360
We don't normally hit the three-minute window, but I think the public should have an opportunity

273
00:24:47,360 --> 00:24:47,940
if they wish.

274
00:24:48,260 --> 00:24:48,380
Perfect.

275
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,560
We will get that adjusted so that that will be what you vote on next month.

276
00:24:51,860 --> 00:24:52,740
Thank you.

277
00:24:52,940 --> 00:24:53,700
Anybody else?

278
00:24:54,900 --> 00:24:55,100
Okay.

279
00:24:56,700 --> 00:24:58,360
On to comments from patrons.

280
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:00,600
Garen Cards.

281
00:25:02,300 --> 00:25:03,920
Just a reminder, you have three minutes.

282
00:25:09,420 --> 00:25:10,300
Hi, Garen Cards.

283
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,580
Not if like if the edge water cord can't use hit the one.

284
00:25:13,820 --> 00:25:17,740
I was going to say it's definitely should be least three minutes, just because that's what it is now.

285
00:25:19,460 --> 00:25:25,260
First, I have it for a more, but the question I had for just the policy H-2-5 overall is

286
00:25:25,260 --> 00:25:30,940
the section C that said, those wishing to address the board in the agenda item shall register

287
00:25:30,940 --> 00:25:35,780
24 hours ahead of time to schedule meeting in order to, by completing the appropriate form.

288
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:41,180
So will there be no walk-ups then, let's say something I did tonight, I think that would

289
00:25:41,180 --> 00:25:49,600
the bad idea, I would, nothing wrong with starting prior to the meeting, but if you need

290
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:54,000
to establish priority or less, but I mean certainly you would want any paper that comes

291
00:25:54,000 --> 00:26:00,060
in on a window to the meeting to stop by the opportunity to speak, at least I would say so.

292
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:08,200
And then for overall, it was public comment to also not exceed 30 minutes, probably I haven't

293
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:14,560
anything near that since the great mass debate of 2021. However, should something like that come

294
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:21,220
up, I'd like to see the opportunity to have something more than that. You don't want 40 people

295
00:26:21,220 --> 00:26:27,340
speaking, and I know that was some of the frustration at that point, but just if you go down through

296
00:26:27,340 --> 00:26:32,480
the policies that's written, I think it says, if there's multiple agenda items that they wish

297
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:38,180
to speak to, you'd go through each one one at a time. If they were multiple, hot items that

298
00:26:38,180 --> 00:26:43,200
meeting you'd likely would even get to several of the people, maybe even for deep on

299
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,620
something that might be a hot issue. So again, I would just like to see that be a

300
00:26:46,620 --> 00:26:51,380
longer food, but I'd just be able to speak just to promote public engagement. Thank you.

301
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,770
Thank you. Mr. Wine?

302
00:27:01,060 --> 00:27:04,740
Good evening, David Wine, to Peel Box at 513 at Brunswick, Indiana.

303
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:11,020
Regarding the SNAP and LeBlanc donation, what was a total cost of BSC and tax

304
00:27:11,020 --> 00:27:16,640
to resolve this matter, including the settlement, legal fees, insurance, deductible, and any other related expenses.

305
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,880
Of those legal expenses, how much is paid directly by BSC and how much by your insurance carrier?

306
00:27:22,940 --> 00:27:28,280
What specific settlement was paid to Dr. Snap? I did it include his attorney fees or any of the reimbursement.

307
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:34,020
Did the settlement include any admission, finding or acknowledgement or responsibility by any party?

308
00:27:34,020 --> 00:27:45,600
If not, anyone involved except the responsibility and did their conduct, the contributed to this litigation and also contribute to the expense of these public funds.

309
00:27:46,700 --> 00:27:51,020
This information is actually public record. It's not legally restricted.

310
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:53,980
I'd like the Board to make it public this evening.

311
00:27:54,920 --> 00:28:00,240
And if you are unable to make it public this evening, I'd like for you to state the legal basis for withholding it.

312
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:09,140
This kind of goes a little bit farther in that some of you were here back in the day when his contract was not renewed.

313
00:28:10,580 --> 00:28:18,740
But given the actions of the State Board of Accounts and the State Police, their inaction has to call into question your judgment

314
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,220
for taking the action that you did back there.

315
00:28:21,360 --> 00:28:24,540
Now, not all of you were here back there, but those of you that were here, you know.

316
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:37,720
And to Garland's point, why do we have two minutes, rather than three, by the way, if you go to the Indiana State Board of Education's website, they offer five.

317
00:28:38,180 --> 00:28:39,520
It's on their website today.

318
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,980
I don't know how they got the two, three's been standard.

319
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:49,640
I've had also suggest a public comment at the end of the meeting, not related to the agenda.

320
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:58,420
And I would have to question how that policy got created because it sure looks like it might be efficient for running meetings.

321
00:28:59,020 --> 00:29:02,500
But it might come at the expense for participation.

322
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,980
Would you actually hear what the public is saying given what limited time that they have?

323
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:12,460
I will put these questions forward in case you guys want to hold on to the use and thank you for your time this evening.

324
00:29:13,220 --> 00:29:13,420
Thank you.

325
00:29:16,450 --> 00:29:17,790
We'll move on to consent items.

326
00:29:19,610 --> 00:29:23,010
Dr. Jessup, we can present the consent agenda.

327
00:29:28,850 --> 00:29:29,650
Thank you.

328
00:29:29,650 --> 00:29:37,030
executive session September 4th executive session session. Excuse me, prove of claims and the superintendents report.

329
00:29:37,750 --> 00:29:40,730
So moved. Second. Any questions?

330
00:29:42,230 --> 00:29:42,710
All those in favour?

331
00:29:43,690 --> 00:29:43,910
Aye.

332
00:29:44,370 --> 00:29:44,950
Opposed?

333
00:29:45,890 --> 00:29:46,470
Motion passes?

334
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:53,200
Oh, this is.

335
00:29:53,620 --> 00:29:53,800
Okay.

336
00:29:57,380 --> 00:29:59,880
The second reading and recommendation to approve 2027.

337
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:10,640
Board meeting scheduled, Dr. Jesse. Thank you. This is the second reading of the 2027 board meeting schedule. We looked at it last month. At this time asking for approval.

338
00:30:12,420 --> 00:30:12,880
Do you have a motion?

339
00:30:13,980 --> 00:30:15,240
Oh, I'm sorry. In questions.

340
00:30:16,100 --> 00:30:16,600
Do we have motion?

341
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:17,500
To move.

342
00:30:19,100 --> 00:30:19,720
All those in favor?

343
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:20,520
Aye.

344
00:30:21,100 --> 00:30:21,620
Approved.

345
00:30:21,780 --> 00:30:22,080
Opposed.

346
00:30:23,220 --> 00:30:23,840
Motion passes.

347
00:30:24,540 --> 00:30:27,200
Second reading and recommendation to approve policies. Dr. Jesse.

348
00:30:28,300 --> 00:30:35,820
Thank you. These policies were presented in August. They include use of restraint and

349
00:30:35,820 --> 00:30:40,200
seclusion, drug free workplace, controlled substance policy for CDL and safety sensitive

350
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:45,540
positions. Fitness for duty leaves and examinations, employee discipline, facility and transportation

351
00:30:45,540 --> 00:30:49,980
security, criminal organizations, and criminal organization activity. Registered sex,

352
00:30:50,140 --> 00:30:55,560
surveillance offenders, audio video, and digital recordings of the meeting. That's for approval

353
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:56,120
at this time.

354
00:31:11,700 --> 00:31:17,740
Thank you very much, actually for the next two items on the agenda, and again, the spirit of transparency.

355
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,000
I know that we've gone through this presentation a couple of different times,

356
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,760
but we wanted to ensure that we go through one more time prior to the approval,

357
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,100
make sure there are no questions, because it is a big issue.

358
00:31:27,260 --> 00:31:35,080
So, as we've discussed, really for the last, almost, I've been going on 15, 16 months now,

359
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,800
and even going back to previous slide, I've sent a reluctant one, and the budget cuts.

360
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:45,380
Twenty-six, we looked at cutting $3 million, which we were successfully able to do,

361
00:31:45,380 --> 00:31:49,540
really through, mostly with staff reductions of 49 staffs,

362
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,360
while some modifications to some of our preventative maintenance contracts,

363
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,060
of some things with utilities,

364
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:56,380
and LED lighting and such,

365
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:57,180
but we are able to get through

366
00:31:57,180 --> 00:31:58,960
million primarily through staff reductions.

367
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,340
The good news is we've met that gold van

368
00:32:02,340 --> 00:32:04,120
news is we have another 3.8 million

369
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:05,400
that we have to look at cutting

370
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,100
because of lag of funding from

371
00:32:07,100 --> 00:32:09,580
Senator Oldak 1 and House Bill 1454.

372
00:32:10,420 --> 00:32:12,160
And that number is 3.8 million

373
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,380
or 202728 school year,

374
00:32:14,500 --> 00:32:15,560
and again we've got another million

375
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,120
the following year for a total

376
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:18,880
of just under 8 million

377
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,240
over the course of three years

378
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:21,600
as we continue to do this.

379
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,460
And so how are we going to get there?

380
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,240
Really focus on two areas tonight that we're asking for approval.

381
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:30,720
Those cuts are really coming in the form of transportation.

382
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:37,540
Since we impacted staffing at such a high level this past year, we're trying to find ways

383
00:32:37,540 --> 00:32:39,000
that we're not going to impact the classroom.

384
00:32:40,020 --> 00:32:44,740
And again, going back to what I mentioned back in August is why didn't we go to transportation

385
00:32:44,740 --> 00:32:45,320
first?

386
00:32:45,500 --> 00:32:49,420
Well, because we really didn't get the full implementation center right to one until second semester.

387
00:32:49,420 --> 00:32:53,840
We did not feel, like that was enough time for families to prepare for major adjustments and

388
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:54,380
transportation.

389
00:32:55,100 --> 00:33:00,000
So we looked at the classroom, but now we think that with the amount of notice that we

390
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:05,000
can provide, we feel like looking at transportation is an area that we must take a look

391
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,460
at and look to adjust.

392
00:33:07,340 --> 00:33:11,540
So the two items that we're going to be talking about and asking for approval to move on to

393
00:33:11,540 --> 00:33:16,200
night would be increased apparent responsibility zone and adjusting to three tier routing.

394
00:33:17,180 --> 00:33:19,780
First on the list is the parent responsibility zone.

395
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:24,760
So our suggestion this evening is that we look at increasing the distance from school to be currently

396
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:33,040
not offered transportation from a half mile to a mile at the elementary level, K5, and one and a half

397
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,740
miles at the secondary level, 6-12.

398
00:33:36,820 --> 00:33:40,920
Not only is that increasing the distance, but it's also right now if you live within a half

399
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:46,000
mile you can elect if it's shorter for you to walk to a bus stop that's outside of the

400
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:51,580
mile zone, you can do that. Actually, this particular request is that anybody within that

401
00:33:51,580 --> 00:33:55,100
parent responsibility zone, the transportation would be cut completely. I'm going to

402
00:33:55,100 --> 00:34:01,600
get why is because in order to meet the budget cut goals that we have set in place, we

403
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:06,160
have to find a way to eliminate as many of those stops as possible and this is that path.

404
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:13,580
Right now, we think that savings for the increasing these about 720,000, the pros there,

405
00:34:13,580 --> 00:34:16,480
That is saving spread across the entire district.

406
00:34:16,660 --> 00:34:21,020
It's not just one particular group that's getting hit.

407
00:34:21,980 --> 00:34:24,800
We are looking at that off K-12 or PK-12.

408
00:34:25,780 --> 00:34:30,680
Con's obviously potential increase in traffic around schools during pickup and drop-off time.

409
00:34:31,500 --> 00:34:34,540
And that could also increase the number of late drop-offs or pickups.

410
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,800
We did want to note that the maps that I'm going to show you have strict parameters.

411
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,220
Mostly the impact here is going to be south.

412
00:34:42,220 --> 00:34:53,660
For us to go north or west, really we have some strick parameters there, we're not crossing green streets or stay with 267 or main streets, you must 136.

413
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,540
So that'll be the recommendation for the evening that we move to.

414
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:04,420
And share these lines last time, but we've actually taken away the stops, the stops are actually from last school year.

415
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,680
Again, as reminded, we went through this in April of 2026.

416
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:11,960
and so really just focused on the red outline areas,

417
00:35:12,240 --> 00:35:15,720
those are from that each school corporation that will now be the parent

418
00:35:15,720 --> 00:35:19,460
responsibility zones where it proposed would not receive

419
00:35:19,460 --> 00:35:21,860
transportation services from us.

420
00:35:22,180 --> 00:35:23,740
Doesn't necessarily mean that they have to walk.

421
00:35:24,060 --> 00:35:27,320
It just means that they will have to find their own route to school.

422
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,120
So that is the outline there for Brown Elementary.

423
00:35:32,020 --> 00:35:32,780
Cardinal Elementary,

424
00:35:35,510 --> 00:35:36,510
Crossroads Elementary,

425
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:43,450
Delaware Trail, Eagle Elementary,

426
00:35:46,070 --> 00:35:46,830
Reagan Elementary,

427
00:35:49,950 --> 00:35:52,370
White Lake Elementary, and those

428
00:35:52,370 --> 00:35:57,110
of the, from a half mile to a mile increase. And again, this time around we did

429
00:35:57,110 --> 00:36:03,510
include all of an entire neighborhood. We did not just cut a hard line at a

430
00:36:03,510 --> 00:36:07,210
mile if it was a round of mile at that neighborhood. The entire thing was

431
00:36:07,210 --> 00:36:11,390
included. And we get here, here's East Middle School. So again, these are going

432
00:36:11,390 --> 00:36:13,390
from a half mile to a mile and a half.

433
00:36:14,030 --> 00:36:16,210
At the secondary level, there's east.

434
00:36:17,490 --> 00:36:18,130
There's west.

435
00:36:19,410 --> 00:36:21,370
And then there's the high school, which is essentially,

436
00:36:21,570 --> 00:36:22,570
since the high school is almost

437
00:36:22,570 --> 00:36:24,130
in the center of our district at the full.

438
00:36:24,330 --> 00:36:28,690
You can kind of see it outlines their green street state, US 136.

439
00:36:29,330 --> 00:36:30,970
And really down to, I think, if I'm right,

440
00:36:31,050 --> 00:36:33,930
Nick, is that about 900, 300, excuse me,

441
00:36:34,370 --> 00:36:36,230
on the south end, what about on the east?

442
00:36:37,070 --> 00:36:39,230
And is that, excuse me, on the east end,

443
00:36:39,490 --> 00:36:40,770
that 900, that's right.

444
00:36:40,770 --> 00:36:46,250
So you can see those are kind of the full scope of that mile and a half as important to Brown's for high school.

445
00:36:47,050 --> 00:36:54,010
So we look at impact. Now again, it's difficult for us to forecast how many students are going to live in those areas next year.

446
00:36:54,390 --> 00:36:57,690
Right? Because we'd have a whole new group of incoming sixth graders versus your assessment.

447
00:36:58,030 --> 00:37:02,810
Kind of garden, and then as you transition from Delaware trail to Eastville School,

448
00:37:03,350 --> 00:37:09,290
Brown Elementary to West Middle School, because those schools are in different spots in relation to your home, that can adjust.

449
00:37:09,290 --> 00:37:17,890
So, the impact that we see if we put this in place today, right, for the 25 or 2627 school year.

450
00:37:18,830 --> 00:37:20,930
This is the impact that we would see.

451
00:37:21,650 --> 00:37:29,150
As you can see, a number of stops eliminated is because of increasing the distance there would be the number of stops from transportation standpoint at each school.

452
00:37:30,300 --> 00:37:48,740
Current number of non-riders again, this doesn't necessarily mean that that's the number of students that we have walking, that it just represents a number of students who have elected not to ride the bus. That could be within the parent responsibility zone or outside, but that includes right now currently the number of students at Brown Elementary Cardinal, so on and so forth, who have elected not to ride a bus.

453
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:55,380
When we eliminate the number of stops and look at the students that are associated with those stops, you can see the increase due to this change.

454
00:37:55,380 --> 00:37:58,940
at each one of those schools at the elementary level,

455
00:37:59,420 --> 00:38:02,240
19 at Brown, 54 at Cardinal, 26 at Crossroads,

456
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,340
44 at Delaware Trail, and then Fort Eagle,

457
00:38:05,820 --> 00:38:07,960
there is none at Lincoln, they do not currently have

458
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:09,860
a parent responsibility zone in place,

459
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,140
when we open Lincoln, all the Walker State at Reagan.

460
00:38:14,060 --> 00:38:16,440
We have three at Reagan, and then one at Whitelick

461
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:17,860
for a total of non-bus riders,

462
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,660
you can see in that final column on the right.

463
00:38:20,420 --> 00:38:21,600
When we look at the secondary,

464
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,700
it's extending it to mile and a half,

465
00:38:23,700 --> 00:38:28,660
You can see the number of stops eliminated in the same increase there, and that's quite a few more, right?

466
00:38:28,820 --> 00:38:31,400
And so, and then why did I also include the mile?

467
00:38:31,660 --> 00:38:41,880
Well, included the mile because for us to meet the budgetary savings that we really need in order to offset the financial challenges that we've seen because of the legislative decisions.

468
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:47,140
While we would love to keep the set of mile, that does not get us to the number that we need to get.

469
00:38:47,140 --> 00:38:53,400
And so recommendation here, as you can see, substantial number difference here from a mile to mile and a half.

470
00:38:53,620 --> 00:38:57,980
I think about 46 students at East to 155, 8 stops to 18.

471
00:38:58,220 --> 00:39:04,360
That is a substantial number of stops and students that we are not having on a bus to generate additional savings.

472
00:39:05,220 --> 00:39:06,700
Again, why does this save?

473
00:39:06,900 --> 00:39:10,420
Because we don't have as many kids writing the bus, then we don't need as many buses.

474
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:14,380
We don't have as much fuel and stops and those things maintenance on those buses.

475
00:39:14,380 --> 00:39:18,100
and that's ultimately where the savings come from.

476
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:20,920
So that will be one asked this evening,

477
00:39:21,580 --> 00:39:23,860
but for efficiency segment of finish the presentation,

478
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:25,620
then we'll get to the asks that that's okay.

479
00:39:27,220 --> 00:39:29,540
The other item that's on the board agenda tonight,

480
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,380
from transportation is the transition to three tier routing.

481
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,440
So our proposal or suggestion tonight,

482
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,540
is that we transition from our modified two tier routing plan

483
00:39:39,540 --> 00:39:41,000
to a three tier routing plan,

484
00:39:41,100 --> 00:39:43,540
where BCCL have specific routes each level

485
00:39:43,540 --> 00:39:46,660
to decrease the number of total routes that we currently run.

486
00:39:47,340 --> 00:39:50,900
That means one bus driver will essentially drive a route for all three levels in most cases.

487
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:52,800
It's not a perfect situation.

488
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,780
We still have maybe one driver that can only drive two routes,

489
00:39:56,460 --> 00:39:59,760
but we took a look at overall the number of routing that system that we have

490
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:01,920
is that a driver would drive all three routes.

491
00:40:02,020 --> 00:40:04,120
One elementary one middle and one high school.

492
00:40:04,940 --> 00:40:06,640
In order to accommodate that adjustment,

493
00:40:07,540 --> 00:40:09,760
we have to look at the start times of all of our schools.

494
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:39,440
And so we think that we right now, I'm pushing Mr. Myros and the transportation department to try to narrow that gap, but we think that we might need at least 60 minutes in order between each start time and order to have enough time to drop students off back out to the community and then back to the school, we want to provide ourselves enough time because we cut it too close and all of a sudden we get stopped by a train and it's the first, you know, the first stop. And that means the next two stops are also going to be late. And so trying to give ourselves enough time there.

495
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,540
to have the just in case is covered.

496
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:47,680
We think because of this, because it's going to eliminate quite a bit of staffing for us

497
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:49,660
at the bus driver level that we had handled the retrition.

498
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:54,060
Again, that is an area that we see, that we have quite a bit of retirements and turn over

499
00:40:54,060 --> 00:40:58,980
over year over year, and so we think that nobody would lose a job, but because if you were

500
00:40:58,980 --> 00:41:03,540
a number of routes, you're a number of drivers, again, a few a number of folks riding a bus

501
00:41:03,540 --> 00:41:08,480
even combined with the parent responsibility zones, that the three-tier routing system we think

502
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:13,660
would say about 1.3, meaning the total savings of the two transportation adjustments that we're

503
00:41:13,660 --> 00:41:19,120
bringing to you tonight would be about $2 million in savings. We'll putting us a little

504
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:26,200
more than half at 3.8 that we need to cut. So the one caveat here is that the routing for

505
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:31,480
the high school must either need to be the second or third of those tiers because of area 31.

506
00:41:32,180 --> 00:41:35,560
If we at the high school we have to continue to have partnered with Ben Davis High School,

507
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:45,200
If the high school was the very first route that would actually have to add many more routes, which, again, we have to try to look at cutting as many as possible in order to meet the financial goal here.

508
00:41:46,140 --> 00:41:54,140
So, we think about timeline and next steps, if it's approved. Again, we've actually shared this now being this in the fourth time. We did a work session in April.

509
00:41:54,820 --> 00:42:01,700
We looked at at the August board meeting. We shared information at the board retreat on September 3rd and then tonight.

510
00:42:01,700 --> 00:42:06,560
And depending on approval this evening, we have Bikki as worked closely with Mr.

511
00:42:06,660 --> 00:42:10,700
Myros on identifying the families that are impacted from the parent responsibilities

512
00:42:10,700 --> 00:42:14,800
on the standpoint, and we would send communication as well as communication to all of

513
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,660
our families because of the potential transition that tier 3 routing.

514
00:42:19,420 --> 00:42:23,440
And so in the September, we would begin conversations with their internal groups, because

515
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:27,820
the tier 3 routing we need to understand from our internal folks like athletics performing

516
00:42:27,820 --> 00:42:30,620
arts, our clubs, what PLC is look like, right?

517
00:42:30,620 --> 00:42:34,640
We have lots of things that if we adjust start times with the tears we're out of.

518
00:42:34,940 --> 00:42:38,760
So I want to be clear that the approval tonight when we get to that is not necessarily a

519
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:42,680
full plan of tear-through routing, but it's the approval for us to investigate and transition

520
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:48,400
to tear-through routing, we would really take the next few months to December and decide

521
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:53,680
on what the full plan of what the start times are and everything for the 27-28 school year,

522
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:58,580
what that would look like, and again, we want to host some informational meetings with our families

523
00:42:58,580 --> 00:43:03,160
And those would take place on October 27th, 28th and 29th at the time,

524
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,540
solicited above, and this will all be in the communication that we send to staff.

525
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:13,920
So a couple of things, from for clarity standpoint, we realize that the parent responsibility

526
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:19,420
zones that as we move further south, we would have to explore with the town, the possibility

527
00:43:19,420 --> 00:43:23,460
of adding some crosswalks, that's something that we will work with them, and potentially

528
00:43:23,460 --> 00:43:24,080
have to implement.

529
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:25,180
We understand that.

530
00:43:25,340 --> 00:43:29,620
We don't want students crossing county roads without the beacons and the flashers there.

531
00:43:29,620 --> 00:43:32,000
And so that's something that we will look at.

532
00:43:32,500 --> 00:43:35,880
And then the other thing is that the informational meetings

533
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:37,880
want to be clear that this would be related

534
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,280
to the tier three routing, really tonight,

535
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:42,880
the approval for us to move the parent responsibility zones,

536
00:43:43,100 --> 00:43:45,580
that is kind of a decision that we're moving that direction.

537
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,160
Again, the tier three routing is that you essentially

538
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,820
will allow us the opportunity to transition to that,

539
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,240
the final plan to come present to you in December.

540
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,380
So that is the information that I have present,

541
00:43:57,380 --> 00:44:00,140
have been answering questions before we move to the approval.

542
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:04,560
Mr. Aker, you may have mentioned about House, you may only have two,

543
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:06,960
some drivers may only have to be able to handle two tiers?

544
00:44:07,740 --> 00:44:07,760
Yes.

545
00:44:07,940 --> 00:44:10,940
How do we offset that then?

546
00:44:11,240 --> 00:44:13,040
So, I'm sure that's a great hand on that third tier.

547
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,940
Yeah, so I'll give you an example of maybe as to why that would be the case.

548
00:44:17,420 --> 00:44:20,880
So, we think about our farthest northern tier district.

549
00:44:21,580 --> 00:44:24,300
Can we get there in back in 60 minutes is really the question?

550
00:44:24,300 --> 00:44:29,820
So, that would be an example of if it takes a 65 or 70 minutes to get to our northern

551
00:44:29,820 --> 00:44:34,740
tier and back, then whoever we assigned that route would probably only could only run

552
00:44:34,740 --> 00:44:39,040
maybe an elementary and a high school or middle school and a high school, whichever the

553
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:40,200
how the order would look.

554
00:44:40,740 --> 00:44:46,200
And so ultimately we would leave that to Mr. Myoros, and once we get that plan in place and

555
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:53,440
identify specific routes in order, the only way for us to transition tier three across the

556
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:59,960
is probably to say that we're going to have 80 minutes between each start time to ensure that we can have enough time to go all

557
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:17,560
All the way to our farthest point. And that would probably mean us picking students up in the 5AM's timeframe and we really don't want to do that. So while we are certainly trying to save as much as possible, we realize there are some parameters we have to put in place and we want to be smart about this. And so really 6AM and above from a start time, pick up time is really where we want to be.

558
00:45:19,900 --> 00:45:24,200
So you're saying that maybe a driver would do the first one in the third ground.

559
00:45:24,260 --> 00:45:26,700
That's exactly right. And I have the middle route.

560
00:45:26,700 --> 00:45:31,000
you know we have for those in order to that's correct yeah that's that's an example

561
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,220
I'm sure there are others that that could probably spout off if we when we get to the

562
00:45:34,220 --> 00:45:39,100
specifics and we'll make sure and identify those that plan come December but that would

563
00:45:39,100 --> 00:45:43,100
be at least one example I just don't think we can transition across the board with every single

564
00:45:43,100 --> 00:45:47,340
route in unique situation that we can have every driver driving three routes nor do I think

565
00:45:47,340 --> 00:45:51,460
that every driver can drive three routes because a lot of our drivers not a lot some of our drivers

566
00:45:51,460 --> 00:45:55,900
have another job that they're going to get to so we will look at those spokes as well and try to

567
00:45:55,900 --> 00:45:59,540
make sure, you know, we've got great drivers and place next on a phenomenal job at that staff.

568
00:45:59,740 --> 00:46:04,080
And so we want to ensure that we put a plan in place that not only keeps our folks

569
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:08,300
or jobs, but also meets the financial budget savings that we have to in order to keep the

570
00:46:08,300 --> 00:46:11,980
lights moving, or keep the lights on, and keep us moving forward and educating kids.

571
00:46:12,900 --> 00:46:17,860
And the parent responsibility zones were really reverting back to what they used to be.

572
00:46:18,300 --> 00:46:22,940
Yeah, I believe the 2020-21 school year is when we train just, is that right, Mr.

573
00:46:22,940 --> 00:46:32,040
of 2021 school year we transitioned from a mile to a half mile and I was a mile K-12 so the

574
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:37,320
difference here is going for K-5 would be back to the mile zone but increase it the secondary

575
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:42,660
level again knowing what the number of stops we did not meet the budgetary savings by only

576
00:46:42,660 --> 00:46:49,240
sticking to a mile the secondary level so we went to a mile and both of these things we're going to

577
00:46:49,240 --> 00:46:54,680
having planned for them and try to move this way just to the budget constraints but should the

578
00:46:54,680 --> 00:47:00,280
legislature change their minds or give us some relief in an area we can always back out of it.

579
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:05,040
That's correct. So the one area that I think that we would probably come back to you and say hey

580
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:09,760
if legislation in 2027 comes forth and they just give a bunch of money to public schools man that would

581
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:19,220
be great. I'm holding my breath still for that to happen but that we would probably go to the

582
00:47:19,220 --> 00:47:21,540
and we go back to, you know, a mile across the board

583
00:47:21,540 --> 00:47:22,860
or maybe even keep it at half mile.

584
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:24,660
So in my mind, that's an area that certainly

585
00:47:24,660 --> 00:47:26,180
and may come back to easily.

586
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,700
The tier three would be a little more difficult,

587
00:47:28,740 --> 00:47:31,100
probably to come back and undo once we kind of get down

588
00:47:31,100 --> 00:47:31,800
this path.

589
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:34,980
The other thing that quite honestly, a lot of districts

590
00:47:34,980 --> 00:47:36,580
have already transitioned to the tier three

591
00:47:36,580 --> 00:47:37,520
because it is cheaper.

592
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:40,500
Number one, and number two is when we think

593
00:47:40,500 --> 00:47:42,520
about driver shortages and staffing shortages

594
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:45,600
that we have in place, having a system in place

595
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,460
that requires fewer staff would be something that's positive.

596
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:54,560
You might drive, if you've driven around campus, you'll see the signs we have out trying to advertise for bus drivers.

597
00:47:55,200 --> 00:48:00,120
While Mr. Myros is one of the best at recruiting and getting great drivers for our kiddos.

598
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:05,700
It is becoming more and more difficult each year and this is one of the first years we've had folks in the office that are driving around.

599
00:48:05,860 --> 00:48:07,940
It's on the regular basis because we're struggling to find folks.

600
00:48:07,940 --> 00:48:10,340
So the tears regarding might be one of those things

601
00:48:10,340 --> 00:48:12,220
and once we put in place would be difficult to come back

602
00:48:12,220 --> 00:48:14,100
from a certain independent responsibility zones,

603
00:48:14,140 --> 00:48:16,480
that's one that if we get a few more dollars

604
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:17,800
and don't need to cut that much,

605
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:20,720
I think that we could come back and ask for the go back

606
00:48:20,720 --> 00:48:21,500
the way it was.

607
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:22,780
Yeah.

608
00:48:22,780 --> 00:48:23,700
Thank you.

609
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:25,320
Any more questions?

610
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:30,020
OK, so at this time, I asked for recommendation.

611
00:48:30,700 --> 00:48:32,260
Recommendations to approve the parent responsibility

612
00:48:32,260 --> 00:48:34,660
zones for the 2027-28 school year.

613
00:48:34,860 --> 00:48:35,720
Some move.

614
00:48:36,140 --> 00:48:36,520
Second.

615
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:38,240
All those in favour?

616
00:48:38,720 --> 00:48:39,120
Aye.

617
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:39,780
Opposed?

618
00:48:40,260 --> 00:48:40,940
Motion passes?

619
00:48:44,250 --> 00:48:50,310
And recommendation to approve transition to three to your bus setting for the 2027-2028

620
00:48:50,310 --> 00:48:50,990
school year?

621
00:48:51,050 --> 00:48:51,530
Yes.

622
00:48:52,150 --> 00:48:52,510
We have a motion.

623
00:48:52,730 --> 00:48:53,990
So we'll sign up.

624
00:48:54,170 --> 00:48:54,730
All those in favour?

625
00:48:55,290 --> 00:48:55,350
Aye.

626
00:48:55,770 --> 00:48:56,170
Opposed?

627
00:48:57,050 --> 00:48:57,530
Motion passes.

628
00:48:57,810 --> 00:48:58,310
Thank you.

629
00:48:59,430 --> 00:49:03,350
At this time, we will suspend the regular board meeting and open the public hearing on

630
00:49:03,350 --> 00:49:05,030
the 2027 budget.

631
00:49:05,370 --> 00:49:05,890
Mr. Hacker?

632
00:49:07,150 --> 00:49:07,910
Thank you very much.

633
00:49:10,530 --> 00:49:16,410
So, according to Indiana Code, you can see here the Form 3, which is the fancy term for just

634
00:49:16,410 --> 00:49:18,430
the advertisement that was put in place.

635
00:49:18,910 --> 00:49:24,130
This was submitted at least 10 days prior to today's hearing and gateway and what you

636
00:49:24,130 --> 00:49:29,910
will see up there is a representation of the estimated budget for 2027 for the calendar year.

637
00:49:30,670 --> 00:49:36,570
We, from the Education Fund, you can see the budget estimate is 83 million, 277,000,

638
00:49:36,790 --> 00:49:37,270
$190.

639
00:49:37,990 --> 00:49:41,570
The operation in debt service, again, those were our two property tax funds.

640
00:49:42,330 --> 00:49:47,150
The operations budget, we anticipate at 26,627,870.

641
00:49:48,130 --> 00:49:52,250
The debt service right now is what I've called, we typically, obviously, that it is over

642
00:49:52,250 --> 00:49:57,150
estimated right now because we cannot actually levy for more dollars or every right and

643
00:49:57,150 --> 00:49:58,230
higher than what is advertised.

644
00:49:58,230 --> 00:50:04,070
So because we have to do this here in prior to the bond sale that we don't know what the interest rate will be

645
00:50:04,070 --> 00:50:10,350
We advertise high and then we can adjust so come tocember the dlgf will provide us what's called a 1782

646
00:50:10,350 --> 00:50:19,710
And that's when we work with our finance team to dial that down to exactly what we need and so but a total budget of 163 million

647
00:50:20,770 --> 00:50:24,350
169868 is the estimate for calendar year 2027 and

648
00:50:25,150 --> 00:50:32,230
And again, this would all take into account all the budget cuts and things that we have discussed already from

649
00:50:32,230 --> 00:50:40,410
and Mr. Ebertzen, a phenomenal job working that budget. The other item that is that we must go through the night is the bus replacement plan.

650
00:50:41,430 --> 00:50:48,850
Again, one of those items that we over estimate on the number of buses, so we don't have to make adjustments, and we can go more than what is on this plan,

651
00:50:48,850 --> 00:50:50,150
but we can always do less.

652
00:50:50,870 --> 00:50:53,790
One thing that we are looking at, unfortunate this year,

653
00:50:53,870 --> 00:50:56,750
I believe, is the new emissions guidelines

654
00:50:56,750 --> 00:51:00,170
that are now on bus engines have caused

655
00:51:00,170 --> 00:51:05,410
a substantial increase of Mr. Mayor of the 25 to $10,000,

656
00:51:05,790 --> 00:51:07,970
depending on the brand of bus.

657
00:51:08,670 --> 00:51:11,010
So unfortunately, we have seen a substantial increase

658
00:51:11,650 --> 00:51:13,450
for the 2027 purchases.

659
00:51:14,630 --> 00:51:16,090
You can see that is our normal plan.

660
00:51:16,190 --> 00:51:18,710
We've done about 10 to 11 buses every single year

661
00:51:18,710 --> 00:51:22,550
whether that be large yellow buses or the small activity buses or combination

662
00:51:22,550 --> 00:51:25,350
they're on and some of those are our special need buses.

663
00:51:26,670 --> 00:51:30,610
But you can see right now if we did the same number of buses we have in the previous years

664
00:51:30,610 --> 00:51:33,850
that would be total of 2.7 million dollars.

665
00:51:34,530 --> 00:51:38,370
Right now we are scheduled to probably only have a budget about 2 million dollars

666
00:51:38,370 --> 00:51:39,670
that we're going to be looking at spending.

667
00:51:39,870 --> 00:51:43,430
And again this would all be out of our construction proceeds.

668
00:51:43,550 --> 00:51:46,010
Remember we do that versus the operations fund.

669
00:51:46,010 --> 00:51:47,690
or a bond dollars, not really construction.

670
00:51:48,110 --> 00:51:53,670
Excuse me, but that is for 27, and you can see 28 that continues on for 29, 30, and 31,

671
00:51:53,930 --> 00:51:59,630
but I'm just screenshot this again. This was posted in Gateway for at least 10 days in advance.

672
00:52:00,270 --> 00:52:04,070
And then the last item, as far as the budget hearing goes, is the capital projects plan.

673
00:52:04,910 --> 00:52:09,510
Quite honestly, this is something we have to do, but it's not something that we typically will

674
00:52:09,510 --> 00:52:15,070
move forward with, because typically anything that's capital in nature, we are looking to

675
00:52:15,070 --> 00:52:19,390
into our construction projects. So while, again, this is one of the things that we can't go over this

676
00:52:19,390 --> 00:52:23,430
amount and we prove this, we do not have to meet this amount. So we do put things on there

677
00:52:23,430 --> 00:52:27,470
that we might have that could come across including things like staff furniture or student furniture

678
00:52:27,470 --> 00:52:29,970
music instruments. And so, we're...

679
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:35,680
We'll be able to replacement. Those are non-busset be able to replacements such as the police vehicles or F-250s

680
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:40,760
and we're applying snow, things like that. So, again, this was all posted, at least 10 days in advance

681
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:46,280
of tonight's hearing, and happy to, at this time, we will open up to community comments.

682
00:52:50,030 --> 00:52:51,470
Well, open the hearing for public comments.

683
00:52:55,340 --> 00:52:59,680
No? Okay. We will close the public hearing, and there

684
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:07,200
There's no further action at this time, so we will close the special, the public hearing

685
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:09,160
in and resume the regular board meeting.

686
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:14,640
Recommendation to approve anticipated transfers between the Education Fund and the Operations

687
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:15,560
Fund, Mr. Act?

688
00:53:15,780 --> 00:53:20,080
Yes, so part of the budget process, as we've discussed many times, is the transfer from the

689
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:24,980
Education Operations Fund as a reminder we are looking at increasing that amount each year

690
00:53:24,980 --> 00:53:28,340
in order to help provide additional revenue in the Operations Fund.

691
00:53:28,340 --> 00:53:32,580
Tonight, we're going to an estimated transfer of $10 million, which is up from $9 million

692
00:53:32,580 --> 00:53:38,620
that we asked for from last year, again, in order to try to help offset the impact there,

693
00:53:39,060 --> 00:53:44,280
but asking for your approval of the transfer of funds for 27, up to $10 million from education

694
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,420
funds, the operations fund at this time.

695
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:47,360
Thank you very much.

696
00:53:50,220 --> 00:53:51,180
Thank you.

697
00:53:51,380 --> 00:53:51,960
Any questions?

698
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:53,300
Come on.

699
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:55,360
All those in favour?

700
00:53:56,260 --> 00:53:56,680
All right.

701
00:53:56,860 --> 00:53:57,160
Opposed?

702
00:53:57,740 --> 00:53:58,780
Motion passes?

703
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:00,660
Recommendation to approve.

704
00:54:00,720 --> 00:54:04,380
Vergy is vendor to provide guaranteed understandings provider.

705
00:54:04,580 --> 00:54:04,960
Mr. Hacker?

706
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:05,860
Good.

707
00:54:06,460 --> 00:54:09,520
So, have another few slides here for you tonight.

708
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:11,200
If I haven't spoken enough.

709
00:54:13,460 --> 00:54:17,280
So, but one of the things that we're constantly looking at, right?

710
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:19,040
Think back to the community engagement process,

711
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:21,780
we want to try to explore all avenues to have

712
00:54:21,780 --> 00:54:23,160
and really answer the question as,

713
00:54:23,780 --> 00:54:30,220
A, how do we need the budgetary goals and cuts and things and minimize impact to student learning?

714
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:34,780
And also, are there other ways or things that we haven't considered to try to avoid potential referendum?

715
00:54:35,620 --> 00:54:41,260
And so, one of the things that obviously we've avoided one in 26 to the next opportunity to be 28.

716
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:49,440
One of the things that we have not considered here or not moved forward with is that guaranteed energy savings contract really through a solar project.

717
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:54,740
I believe at the August board meeting, we asked for approval to do the RFQ and this is a result of that.

718
00:54:54,740 --> 00:55:13,900
Variety is the group that came back for us and what you'll see here is a solar panel project that we look at utilize the flat roofs of our buildings and browns for high school, west middle school, early learning center here at Central office, brown elementary school, white like elementary school and the transportation center.

719
00:55:13,900 --> 00:55:17,980
So not the therapies for the buses, but the actual building.

720
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:24,980
And what this particular potential project we do is place the solar panels on top of

721
00:55:24,980 --> 00:55:25,300
the roofs.

722
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:28,860
You would not be able to visually see them from the road.

723
00:55:29,700 --> 00:55:35,320
But ultimately, we're looking at doing this and try to get them in place because if we

724
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:40,720
do so by December 31st of 2027, then there is a IRA incentive.

725
00:55:40,720 --> 00:55:48,340
And that Irene Synof is a check that the federal government will write back to us that we can deposit into the operations fund.

726
00:55:49,720 --> 00:55:59,360
So the potential, excuse me, a projected project that we have in place here would include a rebate check of just over $2.8 million dollars.

727
00:55:59,720 --> 00:56:04,780
So that is $2.8 million of revenue that we could only really do from this type of a project.

728
00:56:04,780 --> 00:56:14,920
On top of that is what you'll find there that is the 25-year savings of energy costs as well as the operating and maintenance costs for a 25 total cash flow of savings

729
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:23,000
So the op-spong we look at the incentive as well as the savings of and why do we use 25 years because that's the lifespan of solar panels.

730
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:27,420
And so we're looking at a savings over the next 25 years and just over $35 million.

731
00:56:28,100 --> 00:56:29,520
How did they come up with this number?

732
00:56:29,860 --> 00:56:38,420
Well, they've looked at several years of our energy usage in our bills, and then they looked at the obviously sun and how much shines on us.

733
00:56:39,580 --> 00:56:42,980
And while the incentive is just, it's a percentage of the overall project.

734
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:44,280
That's a guaranteed number.

735
00:56:44,940 --> 00:56:50,640
The energy savings, if the rates actually go up and that savings would actually increase on our side as well,

736
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:55,280
because it would be a savings on, we would be paying less than what it would be increasing.

737
00:56:56,140 --> 00:57:11,340
How does that happen? Well, if, as long as the sun, or the sun would be shining, and they've taken all that consideration, these are all conservative numbers, is that, you know, obviously, we can run some of those buildings off the solar panel, if we have access, then we can sell that back to the power company.

738
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:22,120
And, but this is just a manner that we, again, not explored, and I'd like to say that maybe what's the reason we haven't explored it is we were waiting for this kind of time.

739
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:27,300
And so, it would be our recommendation here to move forward with this project.

740
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:32,160
This would move other things aside to think back to the project approval that we did in

741
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:32,920
2025.

742
00:57:33,580 --> 00:57:37,960
For the next, I think it was 196 million, we tried it through really the next 10 years of

743
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:38,240
project.

744
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:40,080
It's five to ten years of projects on that.

745
00:57:40,860 --> 00:57:44,000
We would argue that this would take priority, impressive in it.

746
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:47,360
Right now, one of the things that we're moving off that list is the East Middle School

747
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:50,740
refurbishment project to make room for something like this.

748
00:57:51,620 --> 00:57:57,320
But we are asking for approval because in order to guarantee that we get this rebate, we have

749
00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:02,220
to have this plugged in ready to go by December 31st, 2027, and there's quite a bit of

750
00:58:02,220 --> 00:58:03,600
lead time on product.

751
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:08,880
So therefore we want to get this contract going and signed now, and then we really wouldn't

752
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:13,320
need to seek funds for that until later, 2027 when the project begins to start.

753
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:19,280
Again, this will be $11 million in project cost paid out of construction dollars that we

754
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:24,840
approval for, but we receive a check for three, just under $3 million on the incentive

755
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:28,680
as well as upwards to low over a million dollars a year in utility cost savings.

756
00:58:29,140 --> 00:58:31,400
Again, it would also benefit the operations fund.

757
00:58:32,140 --> 00:58:34,440
So again, is this going to help us avoid a referendum?

758
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:39,100
I can't guarantee you that today, but I can say that this is the additional $3 million

759
00:58:39,100 --> 00:58:42,980
that we did not have prior to this particular project that could potentially go a long

760
00:58:42,980 --> 00:58:43,640
way for us.

761
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:48,940
So this time asking for your approval for us to move forward a very easy and this project

762
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:51,120
at this time.

763
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:55,460
This track, I have two questions, and you talked to us about this during our work session.

764
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:59,320
When you mentioned that this will not have any impact on the warranty for any of the

765
00:58:59,320 --> 00:58:59,540
roofs.

766
00:58:59,640 --> 00:58:59,820
Yep.

767
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:01,380
Thank you for that reminder.

768
00:59:01,900 --> 00:59:06,700
Yes, we have worked with the roof company and said that this is actually an on penetrating

769
00:59:06,700 --> 00:59:07,340
into the roof.

770
00:59:07,660 --> 00:59:11,480
They install some brackets and then really the solar panels on top of the brackets.

771
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:15,360
If there happens to be any sort of issue with the roof,

772
00:59:15,740 --> 00:59:19,600
as you can just slip them off, patch the roof and put them back on.

773
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:23,620
The reason why we stuck to all the flat roofs and not the slope roofs is because we did not

774
00:59:23,620 --> 00:59:26,720
want to do any sort of penetration into the actual roof itself,

775
00:59:27,260 --> 00:59:30,060
potential for leaks or whatever, or impact to the warranty.

776
00:59:30,740 --> 00:59:33,880
So any of the work you see on the flat roofs would not impact the current

777
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:36,120
warranties that we have in place on all of our roofs.

778
00:59:36,620 --> 00:59:39,920
And for the most part, we've had a nice replacement sequence in place.

779
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:43,960
And so our roofs right now, I'm pretty good shape of a few sections on the high school that

780
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:48,080
we're still trying to work towards, but this would not be something that I'd be worried

781
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:52,600
at all about with the impact of our roofs or the maintenance or rent here on that.

782
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:56,320
We've had engineers on our roofs and checked it out and verified all the things

783
00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:58,400
so we feel really good about the group orbit this time.

784
00:59:59,040 --> 00:59:59,960
Thank you. Second question.

785
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,180
And what's the timeline for installation?

786
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:08,000
Great. Timeline is we feel like that this we're looking at a April May-ish kind of delivery

787
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:13,180
of product and then we begin to work on the installation with, you know, I've said, I don't

788
01:00:13,180 --> 01:00:21,060
care if it's December 31st at 1159 PM. They're going to have them plugged in by the deadline.

789
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:28,100
So we, because obviously weather can play a part in this, we really feel like this is a early spring

790
01:00:28,100 --> 01:00:31,680
through a late winter project, hoping to be finished before December 20, 27.

791
01:00:32,660 --> 01:00:33,000
Thank you.

792
01:00:33,180 --> 01:00:33,800
I'm doing a motion.

793
01:00:34,820 --> 01:00:38,820
One of the schools that you use is comparable again, I forget, that already showed

794
01:00:38,820 --> 01:00:40,980
these cost savings and such, just like us.

795
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:46,700
There, I think they provided me with over 100 different references, whether that be schools

796
01:00:46,700 --> 01:00:52,060
and or businesses that have gone for this, but locally, Lebanon, Wayne Township, Mill Creek,

797
01:00:52,060 --> 01:00:55,660
I believe to cater township, I say Wayne Township,

798
01:00:55,780 --> 01:00:56,540
and I've said him already.

799
01:00:57,740 --> 01:00:59,380
So those are the ones locally that serve,

800
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:03,560
and they have all met these, the guaranteed numbers.

801
01:01:04,420 --> 01:01:06,680
Especially, the one that's for sure that we know

802
01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:08,980
is exactly right, is the incentive amount,

803
01:01:08,980 --> 01:01:10,740
because that is a percentage of the overall cost

804
01:01:10,740 --> 01:01:14,140
of the project, but most have seen even more

805
01:01:14,140 --> 01:01:16,140
than what has been projected on the energy savings

806
01:01:16,140 --> 01:01:17,380
dollar from the utility standpoint.

807
01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:20,080
Are there questions?

808
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:22,400
Okay, do we have a motion?

809
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:23,820
So, second.

810
01:01:24,500 --> 01:01:24,960
All those in favour?

811
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:25,840
Aye.

812
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:26,540
Opposed?

813
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:27,480
Motion passes.

814
01:01:27,660 --> 01:01:28,220
Thank you.

815
01:01:28,820 --> 01:01:31,580
Recommendation to re-approved the building corporation, Mr. Hacker Air.

816
01:01:32,300 --> 01:01:37,180
So, the rest of these items are related to, as I mentioned earlier, we have a bond sale to

817
01:01:37,180 --> 01:01:42,280
finish out the projects of the 15 and a half million, according to just a finished

818
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:49,140
all the projects approvals from 2023, and so item D, yes, is re-approved building corporation

819
01:01:49,140 --> 01:01:53,300
as a reminder, 99 Brownsburg Building Corporation is the nonprofit

820
01:01:53,300 --> 01:01:56,100
that's corporation really holds the debt for us as the holding

821
01:01:56,100 --> 01:01:59,840
Corp, because of the general obligation, debt capacity that

822
01:01:59,840 --> 01:02:01,120
local units have in place.

823
01:02:01,420 --> 01:02:04,460
This is the avenue in order for us to take out more debt than what we

824
01:02:04,460 --> 01:02:06,020
are allowed to take as a school corporation.

825
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:09,440
But we will make the payments on behalf of the holding Corp

826
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:11,720
through our debt service fund.

827
01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:15,580
And every year, we have to reprove them as our building corporation,

828
01:02:15,580 --> 01:02:18,220
and asking for that to hold this time.

829
01:02:18,340 --> 01:02:18,740
Questions?

830
01:02:19,860 --> 01:02:20,380
Do we have motion?

831
01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:21,920
So motion.

832
01:02:22,260 --> 01:02:22,560
Second.

833
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:23,220
Second.

834
01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:24,560
Opposite favor?

835
01:02:25,380 --> 01:02:25,620
Aye.

836
01:02:25,780 --> 01:02:26,220
Opposed?

837
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:27,460
Motion passes?

838
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:33,960
Recommendation to approve resolution approving 20th supplement to master continuing disclosure

839
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:35,980
undertaking in the issuance of hot and semester hacker.

840
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:38,740
Again, another annual item that we look at.

841
01:02:39,020 --> 01:02:44,720
So essentially this is the agreement that says that we will comply with all the security

842
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:50,240
in exchange commission as we enter into lease agreements or cell bonds is that we will provide

843
01:02:50,240 --> 01:02:56,960
all information in any materials in a timely fashion. And again, this is saying that we

844
01:02:56,960 --> 01:03:00,840
will do that and comply. So asking for approval to do that at this time.

845
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:03,560
Do you have a question?

846
01:03:04,140 --> 01:03:04,800
So, look.

847
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:05,780
Okay, sorry.

848
01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:06,660
All those in favour?

849
01:03:07,420 --> 01:03:07,620
Aye.

850
01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:08,680
Opposed?

851
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:09,500
Motion passes?

852
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:13,920
Recommendation to approve Brownsburg Library Board Member Dr. Chesape.

853
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:20,880
I miss one didn't I recommendation to approve resolution approving removal of existing agent and appointment of successor agent. Sorry Mr.

854
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:28,980
Iker. Yeah, so this is a new one right now the when we sell bond to do what we have we hold those whole proceeds of trusty bank.

855
01:03:29,340 --> 01:03:42,960
It's been bank in New York, Mellon and quite honestly they have not been the easiest work. So they had a personnel change and we have found that response time has been terrible as well as the

856
01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:46,080
cutting checks have been very, very slow to our contractors.

857
01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:47,480
That's a big deal.

858
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:50,520
And so we want to maintain really good relationships

859
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:53,020
with our contractors, because when we have bit openings

860
01:03:53,020 --> 01:03:54,440
and such, we want people to view

861
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:57,020
Brown's work of school corporation as a positive vendor,

862
01:03:57,260 --> 01:04:00,740
which is an owner, the vendors to like us.

863
01:04:01,260 --> 01:04:03,160
Because when they like us, that means they're more willing

864
01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:04,600
to bid, and the more people bid,

865
01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:06,620
that means we get the best possible price.

866
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:09,300
And so there are a lot of schools.

867
01:04:09,460 --> 01:04:10,720
I don't know the number off on the head,

868
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:12,440
but I know a lot, just as we've talked internally,

869
01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:17,900
that are seeing the same service decline in Bank of New York, and are looking to move.

870
01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:23,320
Business Office conducted a search and we're asking that we move to transition to U.S. Bank Trust

871
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:28,560
Company as our new trustee bank to hold bond proceeds. We essentially transition all money

872
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:33,800
from Bank of New York, Maryland and to U.S. Bank and use them moving forward. And I believe

873
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:40,560
we've been with Bank of New York since 2018, but it's time to move on. And so while this

874
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:41,900
This is not necessarily a school corporation.

875
01:04:42,180 --> 01:04:45,040
This is all through the 1999 Brownsburg school holding corporation.

876
01:04:45,500 --> 01:04:49,740
It still requires your approval as well since we act as the lesser representative

877
01:04:49,740 --> 01:04:50,840
and sign those checks.

878
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:55,560
So asking for your approval to switch banks for those proceeds at this time.

879
01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:56,520
So move.

880
01:04:57,280 --> 01:04:57,580
Second.

881
01:04:59,740 --> 01:05:00,320
All those in favor?

882
01:05:00,900 --> 01:05:01,140
Okay.

883
01:05:01,500 --> 01:05:02,060
Opposed?

884
01:05:02,660 --> 01:05:03,280
Motion passes.

885
01:05:04,020 --> 01:05:07,080
Now, recommendation to approve Brownsburg Library Board Member, Dr. Shesapeake.

886
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:07,920
Thank you.

887
01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:14,220
Asking for approval for the board for Paul Burgesson as the Brownsbury Brownsburg Library Board Member,

888
01:05:14,700 --> 01:05:19,820
this would be a renewal. He has been serving on our behalf since August of 2023,

889
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:25,080
and he is interested in serving a second for your terms to ask for approval at this time.

890
01:05:26,060 --> 01:05:26,440
Good motion.

891
01:05:27,820 --> 01:05:28,840
So moved. Second.

892
01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:29,880
All those in favor?

893
01:05:30,700 --> 01:05:31,400
Aye. Opposed.

894
01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:33,080
Motion passes.

895
01:05:33,820 --> 01:05:36,220
Recommendation to accept donation from Jim Sapp and Kirk LeBon.

896
01:05:36,220 --> 01:05:36,800
Dr. Jess?

897
01:05:37,140 --> 01:05:38,460
Thank you.

898
01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:42,180
Make a recommendation to accept a donation from Jim Snap and Kirk Leblanc.

899
01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:48,520
This donation is in the amount of $100,000 in lieu of receiving a full $150,000 portion

900
01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:49,820
of an agreed upon settlement.

901
01:05:50,940 --> 01:05:54,900
Dr. Snap will receive $50,000 which constitute the remaining balance owed from the settlement

902
01:05:54,900 --> 01:05:58,060
agreed upon by the school corporation and the Board of Trustees.

903
01:05:58,340 --> 01:05:59,900
So ask for your approval at this time.

904
01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:01,620
Very much.

905
01:06:02,060 --> 01:06:02,640
So moved.

906
01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:04,100
All those in favour?

907
01:06:04,700 --> 01:06:05,080
All right.

908
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:11,640
about? Motion passes? Recommendation to approve resolution authorizing litigation against social media

909
01:06:11,640 --> 01:06:17,400
companies, Dr. Jessel. Thank you. I'm asking for approval for us to enter into litigation

910
01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:25,220
against social media companies. This is a class action lawsuit against social media companies

911
01:06:25,220 --> 01:06:30,320
regarding the impact of social media on the well-being and mental health of students. The majority

912
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:35,440
of school districts in Indiana already part of this class action lawsuit, it involves no risk

913
01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:40,480
financially or legally on behalf of BCSE and just ask for your approval at this time.

914
01:06:41,040 --> 01:06:41,640
Do we have motion?

915
01:06:41,860 --> 01:06:42,760
So we'll see.

916
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:43,860
All those in favor?

917
01:06:44,620 --> 01:06:44,900
All right.

918
01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:45,420
Opposed?

919
01:06:46,100 --> 01:06:46,700
Motion passes.

920
01:06:47,380 --> 01:06:48,280
Thank you.

921
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:49,700
Superintendent Comin, start dressing.

922
01:06:51,260 --> 01:06:51,980
Thank you.

923
01:06:54,020 --> 01:06:57,740
First I want to thank Shane and Corey for their work on making Indiana school finance.

924
01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:02,960
Is your to understand palatable? I'm not sure exactly the word, but thank you for your work.

925
01:07:03,900 --> 01:07:08,560
I want to congratulate our sound of Brownsburg on an incredible invitation this past weekend.

926
01:07:08,740 --> 01:07:11,380
They had 30 high school bands were here to perform.

927
01:07:12,380 --> 01:07:16,140
I want to congratulate John Hart, our football coach, on 100 wins as a bulldog.

928
01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:21,860
So he has a whole lot more wins in that, but I'm going to focus on 100 wins as a Brownsburg bulldog.

929
01:07:22,340 --> 01:07:28,200
We also have two of our football players have just broken school records as well, so shout out to them.

930
01:07:29,840 --> 01:07:29,980
This is-

931
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:34,160
This is the time of year where our parent support groups, especially our elementary-care support groups,

932
01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:40,180
do some big fundraising events, whether it is a step-of-thon, or a dog job, or a quest, or a red bird run,

933
01:07:40,300 --> 01:07:46,240
or whatever that is. They have been incredibly busy doing fundraisers so that they can do

934
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:52,420
fun activities for students. And so I certainly appreciate all of their work with that. Also, I want to

935
01:07:52,420 --> 01:07:58,120
shout out the parent support group. I meet with President's group, and they come in one

936
01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:01,100
and we talk about all of the things that are going on in the districts.

937
01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:03,680
They're able to share the activities in the events they're doing.

938
01:08:04,620 --> 01:08:09,360
Our President's group is hosting a meet the candidate night on September 23rd.

939
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:11,000
That is here in this room.

940
01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:13,140
And that is run by our President's group.

941
01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:17,040
They will have all of the people who are up for school board seats here.

942
01:08:17,340 --> 01:08:22,700
And we'll ask questions and have an opportunity for the community to get to know those individuals.

943
01:08:22,700 --> 01:08:28,920
I believe Mrs. Murphy, we are also going to make that available online.

944
01:08:29,580 --> 01:08:31,460
Yes, thank you.

945
01:08:31,860 --> 01:08:36,000
Shout out to Brownsburg Education Foundation and all of your work with the log cabin

946
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:41,840
that has been an adventure with whether it's heaps or yellow jackets or all of the fun adventures

947
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:43,400
that we have out in that log cabin area.

948
01:08:43,540 --> 01:08:45,600
So thank you for all of your work with that.

949
01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:53,680
And then also, this has past week was the B&O Rotary Bell competition between us and Avan,

950
01:08:53,940 --> 01:09:01,280
where it is every sports team, competes, we do this every season, but for the falls, season so far, we are six in one,

951
01:09:01,460 --> 01:09:11,560
and we are just waiting for cross country conference meet to figure out whether we're going to end up eight in one or some other.

952
01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:15,860
So, excited for all of the things that are happening in Brownsburg.

953
01:09:16,400 --> 01:09:16,460
Great.

954
01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:16,940
Yeah.

955
01:09:16,940 --> 01:09:17,440
Thank you.

956
01:09:18,100 --> 01:09:18,540
Just 12?

957
01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:23,840
I think Dr. Jess, if she touched bass on, everything, didn't need to be touched on, but hopefully

958
01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:25,340
everybody enjoys the Homecoming Week.

959
01:09:26,300 --> 01:09:27,080
No, yes, right.

960
01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:27,960
Thanks for coming.

961
01:09:29,340 --> 01:09:30,780
I go again, but just a few points.

962
01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:34,420
Thank you to those who've rubbed concerns on the H2-2-5 policy.

963
01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:39,160
It is clear that some of this Disney beer reviewed a little bit more, especially like the

964
01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:44,740
speaking time and the prior meeting sign-up. So, thank you for who's spoken on that.

965
01:09:46,420 --> 01:09:50,120
And to we'll have to see that we're finally, we are continuing to find ways to avoid

966
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:54,140
teacher layoffs and keeping classroom numbers as well as possible while being financially

967
01:09:54,140 --> 01:09:59,940
responsible, especially if new ideas like three tier bussing the parent's responsibility zones

968
01:09:59,940 --> 01:10:09,140
in, energy savings provider, it's a unique solution. And thank you very much for our staff and

969
01:10:09,140 --> 01:10:14,360
have a lot of information and we appreciate you. Thank you.

970
01:10:14,360 --> 01:10:15,120
What's happening?

971
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:19,340
I want to thank congratulate all our athletic teams.

972
01:10:19,580 --> 01:10:24,020
Whether we're six in one or eight in one or whatever we end up with.

973
01:10:24,020 --> 01:10:25,460
There's nothing like beating Avan.

974
01:10:25,860 --> 01:10:28,060
We could all agree on that.

975
01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:32,680
Thanks to Mr. Hacker for working on the immunization,

976
01:10:32,680 --> 01:10:39,640
clients, all your finance stuff, the variety, I'm really excited about that opportunity

977
01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:48,060
looking at ways again to continue our excellence under these trying financial times.

978
01:10:55,110 --> 01:11:03,630
I want to thank Dr. Snapp for his 14 years of leadership and wish him wonderful enjoyment

979
01:11:03,630 --> 01:11:11,630
in his retirement. I want to thank you, Dr. Jessup, for your outstanding leadership in the

980
01:11:11,630 --> 01:11:18,790
Supervisor role as well. I'm doing a great job. Thanks to Mr. Carms and Mr. Wyatt for your

981
01:11:18,790 --> 01:11:21,010
comments on age 2 to 5.

982
01:11:24,170 --> 01:11:25,210
I think that's that.

983
01:11:26,030 --> 01:11:33,250
Thank you. I have the opportunity to participate in the Dried for your school event with

984
01:11:33,250 --> 01:11:38,810
EF, this week, I know Gordon you were also able to do that, Dr. Justice Feast, but some time

985
01:11:38,810 --> 01:11:44,610
there and pretty exciting that we were able to max out that donation with our community

986
01:11:44,610 --> 01:11:45,090
partners.

987
01:11:45,430 --> 01:11:49,730
So thank you to Ray Baron for all of her hard work as well.

988
01:11:50,070 --> 01:11:55,030
And Dr. Justice mentioned the Brownsburg invitational for the band and a huge number of

989
01:11:55,030 --> 01:12:01,390
volunteers and also staffed people, including Jason Starkweather, some of our BCSCPD members,

990
01:12:01,390 --> 01:12:31,370
custodial staff, it really took a huge team to pull off that event, but the comments and feedback from visiting schools and parents about our community and our hospitality and our facilities are fantastic. Mr. Hacker, I sent you a note on that I think regarding the lawsuit, it's Dr. Snap, both parties have agreed to conclude the legal proceedings and have reached a settlement and I continue to wish Dr. Snap well in his retirement and look forward to keeping our focus on our most important job.

991
01:12:31,390 --> 01:12:34,450
The Education and Opportunity for BCSC students.

992
01:12:35,210 --> 01:12:35,490
Thank you.

993
01:12:37,620 --> 01:12:39,240
Can I have a motion to adjourn?

994
01:12:39,460 --> 01:12:39,820
Some move.

995
01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:41,400
Offer some paper.

996
01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:42,280
All right.

997
01:12:42,380 --> 01:12:42,860
Opposed?

998
01:12:43,420 --> 01:12:44,940
This motion meeting is adjourned.

999
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:45,640
Thank you so much.
