[2:03] Aye. Aye.

[2:12] Aye.

[2:26] Aye.

[2:38] And

[2:48] then Eviana, sorry Gerrano or Grajo. Thank

[2:56] you.

[2:57] Hi, my name is Emily.

[2:59] When you're going to talk about this, think about it's setting that we might not give a

[3:04] class out due to just group of students.

[3:06] We asked you to consider because some of us have been waiting since first and second grade.

[3:12] I want to encourage you to have one.

[3:14] Thank you for that.

[3:15] Thank you.

[3:17] Thank you.

[3:17] All

[3:25] right.

[3:25] And then Sheila Holbergs.

[3:28] Do you just want me to read it?

[3:29] Okay.

[3:30] So my question is regarding exhibit M. Have we explored alternative options for the items listed to be disposed of?

[3:41] Question?

[3:42] I'm going to have to know what pick up the question. It says to be disposed of all those items on the way of using them.

[3:53] So, I guess I'll speak to this, that's not the correct wording, all of those items have already been sold through the public auction.

[4:02] So, if you read it, it says that it was the sales of their public auction.

[4:08] So, we've already sold all those items.

[4:10] I'm just asking the board to approve that those items were sold.

[4:14] Thank you.

[4:20] All right, and so that ends the public participation piece.

[4:23] So, we'll move on to the communications and special reports.

[4:26] So we'll start with the building project update.

[4:34] Although you don't know I'm Ryan Baker like to see some new faces.

[4:38] The building actually you guys are in the building a couple of weeks ago.

[4:43] We did get our CFO for the Media Center and Library.

[4:46] They have began moving in.

[4:48] I don't know much more the status of that, but I think things are progressing well.

[4:53] Also now we've transitioned into the demolition phase and the pavement phase.

[4:58] So if you've driven on the west side of the site, you'll see today that the house was dropped on Monday.

[5:06] All the trees around and associated with the site have been cleared.

[5:11] Right now we're beginning to cut in a drive from the west heading east to access the school, the existing Harding High School.

[5:20] So we could start preparing to remove the building as that's coming down.

[5:26] As far as abatement goes, we're progressing on schedule.

[5:30] We have about, I'm going to say a few weeks left of the second floor abatement.

[5:37] And then they're going to fall back and start abating the windows and the cough around those.

[5:41] That's going to be last because we want to keep that existing building secure.

[5:45] And then we're slated to drop the building over the two weeks of spring break.

[5:49] So that's going to be a big accomplishment for all of us in big dates.

[5:53] something you need to hit. Well, that's pretty much it for the update from our side.

[5:59] Any questions?

[6:02] Okay, thank you. Anything else

[6:12] from Adam? Did you have any updates?

[6:15] Do the board have any questions for either of them? All right. Move right along then.

[6:24] So the next would be them, the student of the month.

[6:27] We have Dr. Norse up here.

[6:33] Hi,

[6:38] so normally I don't need a microphone, so I'll do my best to hang out with Hitron

[6:43] on Friday.

[6:44] So we have students in a month for December and January.

[6:48] I apologize, I missed you and you walked in.

[6:50] Sorry, December, students in a month.

[6:53] We've begun with our middle school students of the month.

[6:57] The first is trope for receipt.

[7:06] This can lead demonstrate the positive attitude

[7:08] and strong work ethic in class.

[7:10] She is committed to improving her man's skill

[7:12] to ask her help when needed.

[7:13] These are common problems with the athlete,

[7:15] that, and others.

[7:17] And you deserve that same wise.

[7:18] We broke this time.

[7:19] Respectful and has adjusted very well to middle school.

[7:22] Making a very great example of effort

[7:23] and first of every.

[7:25] And

[7:43] next, middle school is Sean Wilson.

[7:45] I did not see him.

[7:46] Did he sleep in?

[7:50] So, regardless, our next school are Sean Wilson.

[7:53] Sean comes to class preparing and consistently sets himself up for success.

[7:57] He follows class from expectations, including the no-self home policy,

[8:01] which, of course, all of our students are following.

[8:04] He leaves up after class and completes projects with all complaints.

[8:08] Thomas Polite has established his strong rapport with his teachers

[8:11] and is always willing to help pack and unpack the classroom.

[8:14] So congratulations to Sean.

[8:16] The

[8:21] first flight school student of the month of December is J.J. Braimer.

[8:32] J.J. done an excellent platform and everything consistently sets himself up for success.

[8:36] He follows classroom expectations, including in those cell phone policy.

[8:40] See, they all gain places assignments without complaints.

[8:47] And thanks responsibility for keeping the classroom plain.

[8:49] J.J. is polite and that's the only positive relationship for the teachers.

[8:53] And it's always going to help pack up the classroom.

[8:55] Thank you.

[8:58] Thank you.

[9:04] Thank

[9:08] you.

[9:09] Jessica.

[9:13] And our final December student month is a senior.

[9:16] Jessica, Jessica, as a hard working senior,

[9:20] consistently models responsibility and respect.

[9:22] She comes prepared, follows classroom expectations,

[9:25] completes projects without complaints,

[9:27] and helps maintain the classroom environment.

[9:29] Jessica has established a positive report to teachers

[9:32] and serves as a dependable and respectful role models for role model for others.

[9:37] Well, congratulations.

[9:39] I don't

[9:44] know. January was pretty crazy.

[9:46] So I have January students of the month as well.

[9:49] So our first January student month is middle school or Simone Miller.

[9:53] I

[9:59] demonstrated excellent effort and strong academic achievement throughout the year.

[10:03] She consistently does the right thing in class and strives for excellence in her work.

[10:07] Simone is a bright, high-achieving student who has adjusted very well to middle school

[10:11] as that's a positive example for example for the students.

[10:32] I do not see true.

[10:33] Is it true to the students?

[10:35] So that's the,

[10:36] our second middle school,

[10:37] January student in London is true at Ederson.

[10:40] True is shows great effort and a positive attitude

[10:42] in all content areas.

[10:43] He has adjusted wealth,

[10:44] middle school,

[10:45] and has earned straight days reflecting a strong work

[10:48] at the commitment to learning.

[10:49] True is dedication and consistent length, consistency,

[10:53] makes him an outstanding student.

[10:55] Congratulations to two students.

[10:56] The

[11:00] first time in school through the month of January is Paul Flair.

[11:09] Paul is an incredibly respectful and class and demonstrates persistence and hard work.

[11:13] He has a kind student who gets along well with this year's.

[11:16] Paul takes three pride in his work and often returns to his work to ensure that it meets his expectations for excellence.

[11:23] Paul is also a student.

[11:23] Matthew is able to balance his academics with his participation in sports.

[11:27] Here I go.

[11:43] Finally, our January senior of the month.

[11:46] Isaac Morgan out.

[11:47] I

[11:54] think consistently demonstrates responsibility and dedication while balancing athletics, the job, and his academic commitments. He's always present, maintains limited absences, and serves as a role model in every aspect of school life.

[12:07] I think strong work ethic and reliability make him a standout senior.

[12:11] All

[12:29] right. Thank you all.

[12:32] Next up is going to be Mr. Billings and.

[12:41] Yeah, sorry. I'm looking at the agenda.

[12:43] No, you're going. There's a lot of there's a lot of different things.

[12:46] So at this time, I'd like to call up Sherry Maroussha.

[12:58] This is for you. Don't cry.

[13:01] This is this is this is a special award.

[13:03] You need to open that up now and then we'll make you cry.

[13:08] And then we'll take your very sorry.

[13:11] I'll take, you know, hold that.

[13:22] Better read what it says.

[13:24] Yep.

[13:24] Board of Excellence.

[13:33] Okay.

[13:38] Appreciate for your service.

[13:41] And then it's a sharing.

[13:42] Or your leadership.

[13:44] The commitment has made a lasting impact.

[13:47] That's what Harvard Board of Education.

[13:49] Six years.

[14:02] Oh, Karen.

[14:05] Thank you. You're welcome.

[14:11] And then did I see Gary Dodd's naked? No. So we have a

[14:17] certificate for Gary Dodd for a special recognition for your dedication at Fairport Harbor Schools

[14:22] for live streaming the last gym event. It was super helpful for those of us who couldn't get

[14:26] tickets. So, the bank is very.

[14:33] I mean, I'm not next. And now, you know, we're to your point.

[14:37] Try the technology here and see certainly.

[14:48] I go to sleep. It didn't. Yeah.

[14:56] And we're going to give her a microphone.

[15:00] How did you were in Adelaide? I talked about, I didn't hold through.

[15:09] Okay, yeah, I got asleep though. I'm not going to wait. Yeah. Yeah, that's it.

[15:27] Let me. There you go. Yeah. All right. So we've got a little bit about having a quick talk. It's all fun to one-on-one education.

[15:38] and kind of talking about the various forms of funding

[15:43] that will get kind of sort of a little bit of depth

[15:46] about how support funded, obviously we've all heard

[15:51] about how many taxes it's talking a little bit about that,

[15:54] and it was a pretty good one there.

[15:56] And I've actually tied a lot of this to Fairport

[15:59] and how it actually affects Fairport,

[16:02] what we receive in as well as the fees we are asking

[16:05] the boards have proved our financial forecast, which is due by the end of this month.

[16:11] So I've also embedded that in this presentation and kind of go through the various sections of

[16:18] the five-year forecast. And if there is a copy of it up here on a table, you get grabbed

[16:23] the top of it, but I try to keep this kind of break it down in the several different seconds.

[16:29] So, again, let me know if you're not seeing what I'm seeing over here. So, again,

[16:35] And we're going to talk about full funding in Ohio.

[16:41] Do you want anything?

[16:42] I can't see it here.

[16:43] Yeah, you're good.

[16:43] Yep.

[16:46] It looks like it's still rolling on slide.

[16:55] The curator says, I hope you do.

[16:56] I will highly follow the full funding mechanism, including

[16:59] Levy's calculation and legislative impacts.

[17:01] Yep.

[17:02] Do you see that?

[17:02] I think

[17:09] it looks like it's moving like it's going to be.

[17:10] Yeah, it's moving.

[17:11] Yeah, it's moving.

[17:14] Like we talked about, this presentation

[17:15] delivers an overview of public school funding

[17:18] and Ohio highlighting fruitful elements

[17:20] that impact the Paraport Harvard School District,

[17:22] and it's still stakeholder.

[17:24] In the directs, it's very tight

[17:25] some funding mechanisms, legislative

[17:28] measures, and implications to the local education.

[17:35] First thing I talk about is inside knowledge.

[17:37] Inside knowledge is a law, and it's a Ohio revised code,

[17:42] which we often hear a sound about ORC.

[17:45] That's what ORC is stands for.

[17:47] for Ohio by toll, which makes its law,

[17:49] like 670502's, inside Millie,

[17:53] the birth to the unboughted portion of poverty taxes

[17:55] up to 10 mils, 1% levy by local governments in Ohio,

[18:00] without a direct voter vote.

[18:04] It is used for general operating expenses,

[18:07] like school for schools, townships, and first responders.

[18:11] Bearport school has 5.24 mils of inside Millie,

[18:16] which generates approximately $45,000 in dollars.

[18:23] Next, we're gonna talk about outside knowledge.

[18:26] Now, obviously, you're familiar with operating ledges

[18:32] that have been put in front of you,

[18:34] that there are several types.

[18:36] There's operating ledges, there are bond ledges,

[18:39] there are permanent improvement ledges,

[18:41] how can I make this ledges?

[18:42] We're just gonna kind of go through some of them

[18:44] and what they can be useful.

[18:47] Now, an operating library is your generalizing.

[18:50] It basically can be used for everything.

[18:52] Maybe they're expensive, such as speech and salary,

[18:55] utility, plastic supplies.

[18:57] These libraries are essential for maintaining the basic function of a school district.

[19:02] Therefore, it has seven operating labs that generate $2.9,000,000,000 annually.

[19:10] Those two, you'll see two different line items that found the forecast.

[19:14] it's line 1, 010 and line 1, 020 of the forecast.

[19:21] Those are your targets tax.

[19:26] Bond levies.

[19:27] Bond levies can just be used for bond.

[19:30] It cannot be used for salaries.

[19:31] It cannot be used for anything else.

[19:34] So, if Bond levies are to race on a specific

[19:36] tabloid or build it in schools or renovating existing facilities.

[19:43] This type of levies is crucial for long-term investment

[19:46] educational infrastructure. Therefore, it has one bond

[19:49] ledby that generates approximately $280,000 a year.

[19:52] This ledby was approved to build a new school building

[19:55] and library that you're in right now.

[20:02] Firm and Firm is last capital and maintenance ledby.

[20:05] Again, these are specific youths,

[20:08] ledbies. We cannot use them for anything other than what

[20:12] they were approved for. Firm and Firm and capital and maintenance ledby

[20:16] they're divine, they're ongoing maintenance and improvement of school facilities.

[20:19] They even include upgrades to technology, safety and management, and energy additions to

[20:24] them.

[20:26] Therefore, it has one capital maintenance levy that generates a $80,000 ban on it.

[20:32] This levy was approved at the same time the bond levy won, but was in the same much balanced

[20:37] language.

[20:39] A 1.5 mil, 0.5 mil maintenance levy is a required of the OACC.

[20:47] Without it, the state would not have approved the commencement of our project.

[20:51] Hence, we did it at the same time.

[20:53] We put the levy on.

[20:55] We built it into the ballot language.

[20:58] So we were not going out immediately after we approved the bond to approve a 0.5 mil maintenance levy.

[21:06] It's all embedded into one ballot, right?

[21:10] These funds will be used for future repair

[21:12] and maintenance needs of the students.

[21:17] We're going to talk a little bit about an understanding of it.

[21:19] We can't let that work.

[21:20] So village represents a path-dation rate of life

[21:23] to property value.

[21:26] Confirming the amount of property tax owed

[21:28] for $1,000 of assessment value.

[21:32] This is the foundation of calculating property taxes

[21:36] and that fund is full and full of services including education.

[21:43] If Ohio, U.K. tax is not 35% of your assessed value of your market value.

[21:51] Excuse me.

[21:52] Okay, 35% of your market value.

[21:54] And it's referred to as the assessed value.

[22:01] How do we calculate it?

[22:04] So let's kind of break that down so you can see how we calculate $100,000 plus.

[22:10] So if your house has a market value of $100,000 in home, your paying taxes of $35,000 in

[22:17] that, $100,000 in times of $35,000, your paying taxes of $35,000 of that, that's your

[22:26] taxes.

[22:27] On that, your assets value of $100,000 in that.

[22:30] Now, if you're really free, for one mill, for example, a one mill is used, it puts to $1

[22:39] dollars for every $1,000 of assessed value. So what that looks like as a

[22:46] math equation is how your property taxes are assessed by you, every $5,000 by the

[22:53] military, 1 mil, which is $1,001, or both results in a total tax of $35 for

[23:05] a 1 mil

[23:06] of assessed that.

[23:12] Here is another thing that was enacted in 1976,

[23:17] called House Bill 920, because they have heard it before. It was

[23:22] implemented and it was aimed to protect homeowners by having

[23:25] property tax increases, aligning them with inflation rates, because you know

[23:29] every three years, you have like a clientele update and then I'm six years, you

[23:36] have a full re-biased weight on your top.

[23:39] And it was to keep the tax affordability

[23:44] and financial stability to the property owners of Ohio.

[23:48] So how it works, how 9.20 works.

[23:51] Well, what happens is 9.20 insured that our property values

[23:56] rise, which we've all seen happen.

[23:59] All of us have seen that in the last several years

[24:01] our property value has been rising.

[24:03] And what it does is it adjusts the actual rate so that the school is not collecting any additional funds.

[24:12] So it basically adjusts the downward event, the tax increase to homeowner.

[24:18] The second and the third to the line tax growth was inflation and health housing affordable or cheap housing affordable.

[24:26] Due to House Bill 20, I think you heard me say this before.

[24:30] Fairport has 83.26 of voted millage and due to house bill 920 and being reduced every time

[24:40] houses are property values went up. We are all collecting up 30.6 mills of that.

[24:48] This is

[24:49] a no here referred to as the effective rate.

[24:57] And it's just as close to house bill 920 is the

[25:01] the same wide impact liability

[25:03] so that you aren't getting any future.

[25:09] But it also, I guess I'll just throw this in there as well.

[25:12] One house bill 920 has done over the years,

[25:16] as it was very well intended,

[25:19] but this is why you see school districts

[25:21] still in back on the ballot every five years, right?

[25:24] Every three to five years.

[25:26] Because every time cross we're going to sell up,

[25:28] village goes down,

[25:31] So that's why you see visits only back on the mouth.

[25:40] Okay, now we're going to talk a little bit about the homestead and the old back credit is in Ohio.

[25:45] That's actually the exemptions that are showing our final five over the fourth half.

[25:51] The first one is homestead exemptions.

[25:54] The homestead has allowed eligible homeowners, typically over 65,

[25:59] first, you know, permanently disabled or disabled veterans, reduce their property burdened by

[26:04] sheltering, shielding a portion of their home market value of the taxation. This program

[26:11] is designed to provide by an answer released in most vulnerable populations, helping them

[26:16] maintain home ownership. For Taxiers 2026, the standards that the convention shields the

[26:24] the first 25,000 other home owners might survive.

[26:27] So let's go back to the $100,000 home

[26:30] that has a $35,000 assessment value

[26:33] under homestead, another $29,000 is taken from that.

[26:38] And you're all attached on a different.

[26:39] But why not?

[26:40] Well, it happens here in October,

[26:41] which you probably heard a lot about October 20, 25.

[26:45] This was part of one of our property reform

[26:49] and then the budget bill that just went through

[26:52] The late-time commissioners voted to double that standard homestead exemptions,

[26:58] eventually, shielding $58,000 of the purchase of the property value.

[27:04] The difference with this, so the decision without any discussion with the local government

[27:09] I know I did was happening until it was already gone.

[27:13] It resulted in about $6 million in tax revenue loss to act late-time schools.

[27:19] Fairport portion of that is about $19,000.

[27:26] Now, rollback is another credit that was provided by the state years ago.

[27:32] And basically you would get a 10% rollback,

[27:36] as long as your property was not being used for any kind of business purpose.

[27:40] And then you got an additional of two and a half percent rollback

[27:43] if the house was your primary resident.

[27:46] So this was in place until November of 2013, in which they decided at that point they were no longer giving those credits.

[27:59] So what it really did was ship that back onto the tax rate.

[28:04] And the original, they were refunding us those tax credits.

[28:08] states, states, laws, or they know more, shifted that back onto the actual fact-favorite

[28:14] rate of that.

[28:17] And that's what they call the piggyback, or what they did in October.

[28:22] We are not.

[28:23] Those actually hit our bottom line.

[28:25] They are not the state.

[28:26] They gave that authority to the commissioners to do that, however, they are not refunding

[28:33] that.

[28:34] So that was a straight line.

[28:35] Sure,

[28:41] you've all heard this.

[28:42] The last school funding system has been declared unconstitutional by the Ohio Supreme Court for four of that over the years.

[28:51] That's throughout the birth of states, 97-2002.
