00:02:06,770 --> 00:02:25,790
Hi, I want to welcome everybody to the Madanya City Schools Board of Education meeting. This is a meeting for the Board of Education and public for the purpose of conducting the school district's business and is not to be considered a public community meeting. There is a time for public comment during the meeting as indicated in the agenda.

2
00:02:25,790 --> 00:02:29,130
That's all rise and say the pledge of allegiance.

3
00:02:48,980 --> 00:02:50,960
Mr. Chambers, will you do your own call please?

4
00:02:51,460 --> 00:02:52,020
Mr. Rally.

5
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:58,200
Here. Mr. Herr. Here. Mr. West. Here. Mr. Pertrad. Here. Mr. Smoy.

6
00:02:58,420 --> 00:02:59,540
Here. Thank you.

7
00:03:06,140 --> 00:03:13,040
So we need hopefully our raise look through the meeting minutes from the rescheduled regular meeting of February 25th

8
00:03:13,500 --> 00:03:18,000
and the special meeting workshop. Our work session of March 3rd.

9
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,160
Can we have somebody to make a motion to approve the minutes?

10
00:03:22,820 --> 00:03:27,000
I'll make a motion to approve the minutes from February 25th and March 3rd.

11
00:03:28,220 --> 00:03:28,720
Any nice seconds?

12
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:29,540
I'll second.

13
00:03:30,020 --> 00:03:30,600
Thank you, Mr. Hare.

14
00:03:30,780 --> 00:03:31,400
Mrs. Prudger.

15
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:34,700
Any questions, comments?

16
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:39,120
Rookal.

17
00:03:39,740 --> 00:03:40,200
Mr. Prudger.

18
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:41,660
I, Mr. Hare.

19
00:03:42,140 --> 00:03:42,920
I, Mr. Rookal.

20
00:03:42,980 --> 00:03:43,180
Mr. Rookal.

21
00:03:43,180 --> 00:03:43,360
Hi, Mr. Rookal.

22
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:43,840
Mr. Rookal.

23
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:45,140
Mr. Hare.

24
00:03:45,140 --> 00:03:46,860
Yes, thank you.

25
00:03:56,510 --> 00:03:59,730
Are there any additions, removals, or modifications to the agenda?

26
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,340
Can I get a motion to approve the consent agenda, please?

27
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,000
I'll make a motion to approve the consent agenda.

28
00:04:12,660 --> 00:04:12,960
Any minute?

29
00:04:16,140 --> 00:04:16,940
I'll make a second.

30
00:04:18,180 --> 00:04:21,180
Thank you, Mr. West and Ms. Pritchard.

31
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:29,700
Mr. West?

32
00:04:30,620 --> 00:04:30,820
Yes.

33
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:31,500
Ms. Pritchard?

34
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:31,980
I.

35
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:33,940
Mr. Hare.

36
00:04:34,500 --> 00:04:34,680
Hi.

37
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:35,220
Ms. Moore.

38
00:04:36,020 --> 00:04:36,200
Hi.

39
00:04:36,380 --> 00:04:37,100
Thank you.

40
00:04:38,700 --> 00:04:40,800
time for superintendents communications.

41
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:42,960
Well, good evening everyone.

42
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:44,780
I see so much green out there.

43
00:04:45,580 --> 00:04:48,700
I'm going to mix up my section of the agenda a little bit

44
00:04:48,700 --> 00:04:52,220
because we've got special guests from our high school here

45
00:04:52,220 --> 00:04:56,380
this evening to share some exciting news.

46
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,520
And so our board can offer congratulations as well.

47
00:05:00,700 --> 00:05:04,260
And I want to start with Dr. Tadona to talk

48
00:05:04,260 --> 00:05:06,380
about our speech and debate team.

49
00:05:06,380 --> 00:05:10,820
Who, by the way, is on the agenda, and they're on their way to national soon.

50
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,320
Thank you for the opportunity to showcase our speech and debate team.

51
00:05:22,660 --> 00:05:24,380
Let them make their way up here.

52
00:05:24,940 --> 00:05:34,580
So each year, the National Speech and Debate Association recognizes one school for more than 100 competing districts for outstanding student participation in speech and debate.

53
00:05:35,380 --> 00:05:38,600
From over 4,000 member schools nationwide.

54
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:45,280
I'm going to say that again, 4,000 nation schools throughout the whole nation, outside of Ohio,

55
00:05:46,060 --> 00:05:50,360
leading chapters represent the top 3% of speech and debate programs in the country.

56
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,580
Medina High School has been recognized as one of those leading chapters.

57
00:05:54,380 --> 00:05:58,360
Medina's speech and debate students also had an outstanding showing at the OSTA State

58
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,440
Tournament, where more than 200 students competed in congressional debate.

59
00:06:02,940 --> 00:06:06,460
Medina students placed in both the House and the Senate, so to highlight a few.

60
00:06:06,460 --> 00:06:10,980
In our Senate, Lincoln marks earned first place, again, State Tournament.

61
00:06:11,980 --> 00:06:13,480
Holland Roller placed fifth.

62
00:06:14,020 --> 00:06:19,460
In the House, Kate Klein placed third, Kaley Chommer's placed fourth, and Alicia

63
00:06:19,460 --> 00:06:20,700
Aldia placed fifth.

64
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,340
Mason Hyber advanced to the semi-final chamber in finished 19th overall.

65
00:06:26,100 --> 00:06:30,380
Kaley Chommer's all was also recognized as the Tournament's top presiding officer.

66
00:06:31,260 --> 00:06:35,400
In addition to these individual accomplishments, the team was honored with both the excellence

67
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,940
into Bay Award and the Excellence in Coaching Award, which I'll speak more on in a moment here.

68
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,940
Students have also distinguished themselves throughout their legislative writing.

69
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:49,880
Atty Ma, Brindley Hare, and Maggie Wolney have authored more than six pieces of legislation

70
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:54,600
that were selected for use at the Ohio Speech and Debate Association Tournament.

71
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:00,680
In addition, Kaylee Chomers and Alicia Aldia, each wrote legislation that was selected

72
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:05,160
for the National Speech and Debate Tournament, a significant honor that highlights the strength

73
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:12,460
the Modinas Program. The Congressional Debate Team will look to build on the success at the upcoming National Qualifier,

74
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:19,960
where they will attempt to join teammates Ava Campbell and McKenna Gallagher who have already qualified the Public Form National Qualifier.

75
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:27,220
A great deal of this success is due to the leadership of Miss Tiffany Nichol, whose work continues to elevate the program.

76
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,200
Ms. Nichols, a recipient.

77
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:37,960
Of the Donis D. Roberts coaching excellence award, as well as the Linda Miller Award for coaching excellence. Both are prestigious

78
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:45,180
honors, recognizing exceptional contributions to speech and debate coaching. Her leadership is highly

79
00:07:45,180 --> 00:07:50,880
respected across the state, which is evident in her being selected to run the state tournament next year.

80
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:57,260
Needless to say, Madina's speech and debate team is a powerful example of extraordinary opportunity

81
00:07:57,260 --> 00:07:59,800
an experience available to Medina High School.

82
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:05,460
Thank you to our students and coach for representing Medina City Schools on such a large

83
00:08:05,460 --> 00:08:05,860
stage.

84
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,860
I hope that you'll be in the lookout for the showcase that they will host at Medina High

85
00:08:09,860 --> 00:08:10,660
School in a few months.

86
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,380
I hope to see you all there.

87
00:08:12,740 --> 00:08:17,460
And at this time, who I'm very grateful to speak before, I would like to welcome Lincoln Marks

88
00:08:17,460 --> 00:08:20,020
to share a little bit about his personal experience.

89
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,600
Hi everybody, so for those of you who don't know who I am, my name is Lincoln Marks.

90
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:33,920
I'm a junior at the high school, and as of a few weeks ago, I'm the 2026 Ohio Speech and

91
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,420
Debate Associations, Congressional Debates, Senate, Binal and Champion.

92
00:08:37,980 --> 00:08:44,200
That was a mouthful for me, so, but, yeah, thank you, thank you.

93
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:49,180
But as much as I love and will happily receive any and all attention from this accomplishment,

94
00:08:49,260 --> 00:08:54,340
I have to admit, I have a little bit of imposter syndrome because I couldn't have done this

95
00:08:54,340 --> 00:08:55,700
without the work of my teammates.

96
00:08:55,700 --> 00:09:03,880
You see, it's because of the hard work of every single one of the people behind me that I get to stand before the Board of Education tonight and brag about our amazing program.

97
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,340
And in true congressional debate style, I'll try to keep it just under three minutes.

98
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,940
Now, being on the speech and debate team for two years now,

99
00:09:12,060 --> 00:09:18,460
I've learned a lot about the structure of our government, current real-world events, and how to question my opponents not so aggressively,

100
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,860
which I'm still trying to work on so sorry Kate.

101
00:09:20,860 --> 00:09:27,320
But most importantly, I've learned a lot about myself and what it means to stick up for myself and others around me.

102
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:40,780
Ask anyone on the Speech and debate team and I'm sure all will tell you that no other activity that makes you wake up at 5.30 on a Saturday morning and dress on full business attire will have a significant lasting impact on your life than Speech and debate does.

103
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:49,860
Seriously, never have I been more inspired and more in awe of my peers than when I get to play dress up pretend congressmen and hash it out in chamber with them.

104
00:09:49,860 --> 00:09:54,380
Now, I want to use my last of my 15 minutes of fame to thank those on the team who also

105
00:09:54,380 --> 00:09:57,180
should be up here congratulated on this state championship.

106
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,680
Addy, Brinley, Maggie, and Jordan.

107
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,540
Thank you for creating legislation that always seems to end up on our dockets.

108
00:10:03,820 --> 00:10:06,260
I'm sure all of us appreciate those authorship speeches.

109
00:10:06,820 --> 00:10:08,560
Mason, Kate, Chloe, and Holland.

110
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,000
Thank you for always being a source of laughter and morale for the team.

111
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,540
You uplift the spirits of everyone even during hard competitions.

112
00:10:16,260 --> 00:10:21,400
Ava and Meccana for assisting in understanding legislation when you aren't even in competing

113
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:26,540
in the same event as the rest of us, Alicia thank you for showing this team what true

114
00:10:26,540 --> 00:10:31,560
dedicated leadership is, Kaylee for always braiding me to stop procrastinating, prepping

115
00:10:31,560 --> 00:10:36,600
speeches and most importantly thank you to Miss Nickel for being the most amazing coach

116
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,980
and mentor a debate I could ask for, and especially for always telling us to quote,

117
00:10:40,980 --> 00:10:45,840
lock in. Before I finish, I also want to quickly say that programs like speech and debate

118
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:50,960
are only continued to succeed when community members support them. We're always looking for

119
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,720
community members who are willing to volunteer as judges at our upcoming competitions,

120
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,250
no debate experience required just a willingness to listen and to help students grow.

121
00:11:00,180 --> 00:11:03,760
We're also constantly working to fundraise to keep our program accessible,

122
00:11:04,300 --> 00:11:09,180
cover tournament costs, and give more students the opportunity to compete. Thank you again for

123
00:11:09,180 --> 00:11:11,060
taking the time to recognize our team tonight,

124
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,480
and for supporting activities that give students a place

125
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,700
to find their voice, challenge their ideas,

126
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,560
and grow into more confident advocates.

127
00:11:18,100 --> 00:11:19,900
We're incredibly proud to represent Medina,

128
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:21,940
and we hope to continue making our school

129
00:11:21,940 --> 00:11:24,380
and community proud and competitions to come.

130
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:25,000
Thank you.

131
00:11:32,740 --> 00:11:33,300
Thank you, guys.

132
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:34,300
Any questions for them?

133
00:11:34,500 --> 00:11:36,160
I just love the back of his sweatshirt.

134
00:11:37,220 --> 00:11:37,800
Thank you.

135
00:11:38,100 --> 00:11:39,040
I'm very creative too.

136
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:39,800
Thank you, guys.

137
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:40,700
Will you invite?

138
00:11:44,260 --> 00:11:46,440
I thank you for our speech and debate team,

139
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:52,460
Our academic programming at our high school is second to none, and our speech and debate

140
00:11:52,460 --> 00:11:55,080
team is an example of that.

141
00:11:55,660 --> 00:12:02,420
The hard work of our teachers and our coaches in developing our students, allowing them

142
00:12:02,420 --> 00:12:07,000
to choose their pathways and directions that they want to go and have the kind of opportunities

143
00:12:07,780 --> 00:12:11,080
such a speech and debate is so vitally important.

144
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:16,480
Next, I want to invite up our athletic director, Todd Hotky.

145
00:12:17,260 --> 00:12:25,260
We have some wrestlers here tonight to congratulate and recognize, especially Cliff,

146
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:32,160
our newly crowned Heavyweight 286 State Champion.

147
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:38,800
I did watch your wrestling match, and I don't know much about wrestling, but it was an

148
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,140
like match,

149
00:12:43,090 --> 00:12:47,990
say the least, when we were asked to present, I didn't know I was going to be following

150
00:12:47,990 --> 00:12:54,970
the best speaker in the state of Ohio. So I'll try to be close to as good as Lincoln is, but

151
00:12:54,970 --> 00:13:00,990
congratulations to the speech and debate team and Lincoln. Miss Nichol is an amazing educator.

152
00:13:01,470 --> 00:13:07,290
I worked with her in Wellington and when she came to Medina was ecstatic and she does a great job and

153
00:13:07,290 --> 00:13:11,710
obviously picking up from what Mr. Quaid had started as well as speech and debates.

154
00:13:12,030 --> 00:13:14,690
So again, congratulations to them for all their accomplishments.

155
00:13:16,250 --> 00:13:19,970
If you've never been to the state wrestling tournament in Columbus, you're missing out.

156
00:13:20,350 --> 00:13:27,430
It is probably arguably one of the best state championship tournaments that the state of Ohio and the OHSAA can put on.

157
00:13:28,230 --> 00:13:30,810
If you've never been, again, I encourage you to go.

158
00:13:31,210 --> 00:13:36,010
It's three days of excitement, starts on Friday, through Saturday, all the way until Sunday evening.

159
00:13:36,950 --> 00:13:42,570
Sunday night is probably one of the is the spectacle of the weekend and it was definitely

160
00:13:42,570 --> 00:13:47,570
a spectacle for the Medina fans on Sunday night, just a little bit after eight o'clock.

161
00:13:48,630 --> 00:13:51,170
Wrestling is the toughest sport out there.

162
00:13:51,290 --> 00:13:57,190
I would argue that with all 27 sports that we have here at Medina, it's six minutes of nonstop

163
00:13:57,190 --> 00:14:04,190
activity, the sacrifice, the will power, all the hard work that goes into it, there's no

164
00:14:04,190 --> 00:14:08,070
place to hide out there on the mat, and there's no one to blame but yourself.

165
00:14:08,570 --> 00:14:14,810
You are there, Mono Imano with another wrestler and one person is going to come off that

166
00:14:14,810 --> 00:14:18,350
mat at winter and one person will lose her.

167
00:14:18,510 --> 00:14:23,870
It reminds me of a speech here of Teddy Roosevelt's man in the arena speech.

168
00:14:24,790 --> 00:14:29,630
I think every time I think about cliff and tag in and down out there this weekend the man

169
00:14:29,630 --> 00:14:32,750
in the arena kind of just rings in my head.

170
00:14:35,450 --> 00:14:50,030
adversity is something that every athlete goes through and we always talk as coaches, as educators, as mentors and parents, never give up, and that's kind of what this weekend, that's kind of the thesis statement of this weekend.

171
00:14:50,030 --> 00:14:59,970
And first and foremost, our state champion, Senior Cliff Nicholson, congratulations on his state championship and the 208.

172
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:07,220
85-pound weight class. He is one of only three wrestlers in the history of Medina to be crowned a state champion.

173
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:18,160
Jerry Lee was the first in 1977 at 185 pounds in Mark Baylog was the last state champion in 1996 at 125 pounds.

174
00:15:18,620 --> 00:15:26,320
And Cliff 30 years later is now, will have his name in gold letters as he said, just like the other two.

175
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:34,900
Um, for a little bit of how the weekend went, uh, Friday, there's preliminary, there's

176
00:15:34,900 --> 00:15:40,520
a preliminary round and tag in, dumb and cliff all one their matches and that's a great

177
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,900
thing because they get to rest the rest of the evening, um, they get to go back and get ready

178
00:15:44,900 --> 00:15:50,400
for their quarter final match on Saturday morning, uh, Saturday afternoon, actually, uh, they

179
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,360
came back in each of them, also one on Saturday afternoon.

180
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,600
So with winning two matches and going to an O,

181
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,740
you automatically get to stand on the podium,

182
00:16:01,140 --> 00:16:02,920
you a place at the State Tournament,

183
00:16:03,020 --> 00:16:05,600
which is an amazing accomplishment in itself.

184
00:16:10,420 --> 00:16:13,640
Tegan and Dom had tremendous weekends,

185
00:16:13,860 --> 00:16:15,520
and they won their first two matches,

186
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,560
and they would win at least one more match,

187
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:45,220
And that's what helped Tegan to earn his fourth place finish and Dom to earn his fifth place finish and Tegan again as a senior he's had a couple controversial calls I would say in the past years that would prevent him from being at state but he showed this this weekend that he has state caliber wrestling in his blood and that fourth place finish was well earned over these four years.

188
00:16:45,220 --> 00:16:51,400
Dom is only a sophomore, and it's fifth place, finish, Dom's two for two.

189
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,460
He's been downed at the state as a freshman, and as a sophomore.

190
00:16:55,380 --> 00:16:59,080
So I think a lot of huge futures still in the works for Dom.

191
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:07,640
But the headline is Cliff, and Cliff with the 285-pound champion,

192
00:17:09,820 --> 00:17:12,860
again, adversity, and overcoming it and never giving up.

193
00:17:12,860 --> 00:17:15,360
In his semi-final match against Dublin Kaufman,

194
00:17:15,360 --> 00:17:18,220
Ressler, he was trailing five to one early.

195
00:17:20,020 --> 00:17:21,760
But he never gave up with an escape,

196
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,700
a takedown and another escape.

197
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:25,740
He tied it up at five, five.

198
00:17:26,460 --> 00:17:30,020
The Dublin Kaufman, Ressler, would escape himself

199
00:17:30,020 --> 00:17:32,040
to go up six, five.

200
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,720
And then with, again, as they were battling,

201
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,420
30 seconds left, Cliff put him on his back real quick.

202
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,080
And it was a quick turnaround.

203
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,700
And Cliff had been beaten this kid up the entire match.

204
00:17:43,780 --> 00:17:49,100
He really had, I believe he was almost out of injury time of the other wrestler, but Cliff

205
00:17:49,100 --> 00:17:57,120
never looked beaten or down the way he wrestled during that match, and he would end up writing

206
00:17:57,120 --> 00:18:02,600
him out for 30 seconds and winning that match 10-6, and that's what propelled him into the

207
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:03,400
championship match.

208
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:10,200
In the championship match on Sunday night, he was wrestling a familiar foe and Jake Ernest

209
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:14,340
The Wadsworth, the fellow Medina County wrestler, who he's wrestled multiple times in his

210
00:18:14,340 --> 00:18:14,860
career.

211
00:18:15,860 --> 00:18:21,320
Again, he found himself down early Ernest had a quick take down, but he wasn't done.

212
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,960
And again, he fought back to tie the match at six, six.

213
00:18:26,540 --> 00:18:32,200
And the way it works is you get to choose what you're going to do in the last period.

214
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,020
And if I'm not mistaken, Ernest picked to go down.

215
00:18:36,620 --> 00:18:39,300
So Ernest is down, cliffs on top.

216
00:18:39,300 --> 00:18:44,140
So basically Ernest gets out he gets a point and depending on how long that takes that could be the point the

217
00:18:44,140 --> 00:18:45,000
wins the championship.

218
00:18:45,940 --> 00:18:52,280
Cliff's got a hang on for dear life and keep him on the ground to force over time basically and he

219
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:58,760
did that for most of the third period but then late with about 14 seconds left I think Ernest was

220
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:05,300
able to slip away, it might have even been nine seconds and it's like oh it's seven six what's

221
00:19:05,300 --> 00:19:13,500
going to happen nine seconds left cliff went to work and he took the kid down literally

222
00:19:13,500 --> 00:19:17,760
with like one and a half seconds left on the clock I think when I looked put him on his

223
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:22,920
back and he's the state championship with a nine seven score unbelievable again as you

224
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:29,440
if you watch that match and we had a live stream don't tell the OHSA we did but we had

225
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:35,840
a live stream going on and just an amazing emotion flooded out from both the coaches,

226
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,360
myself, Cliff and everybody who was in the arena, it was amazing. Again, the man in the arena

227
00:19:41,360 --> 00:19:50,420
and he was standing tall as a third Medina State champion in history. Unbelievable. We don't get to

228
00:19:50,420 --> 00:19:54,200
crown state champions all the time. It's not something that's just given out like a participation

229
00:19:54,200 --> 00:20:00,360
trophy or award. It is something that is earned and it should be celebrated and something that

230
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:09,620
this entire community is and should be proud of. Cliff, at the top of the podium, Dom and

231
00:20:09,620 --> 00:20:15,000
Tagan very close to the top of the podium, all three wrestlers this weekend help Medina to a top 10

232
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:21,540
finish ninth place at a 65 division one schools that participated this weekend. It's an amazing

233
00:20:21,540 --> 00:20:25,740
accomplishment with only three wrestlers who qualify for the state tournament.

234
00:20:25,860 --> 00:20:30,560
Others had more wrestlers there and these three compile enough points to

235
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:35,120
become ninth in the state of Ohio division one. It's amazing. And they

236
00:20:35,120 --> 00:20:39,940
represented Medina Adner Lee the entire time. There were some instances in the

237
00:20:39,940 --> 00:20:43,240
state tournaments this week and that other schools I think would be shocked in a

238
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:49,160
Paul that, not our wrestlers. They handled themselves with grace, sportsmanship,

239
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:55,280
been the things that a culture of champion should, and it's great to see, and we're very proud

240
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:55,900
of them.

241
00:20:56,300 --> 00:21:02,360
And I wouldn't do any justice, a huge shout out, also, to Coach Gilmore, Chad Gilmore,

242
00:21:03,140 --> 00:21:08,120
Coach Wade Chapman, Coach James Unger, and Coach Ryan Tomey, as they were there the

243
00:21:08,120 --> 00:21:12,060
entire weekend, have been there the entire season throughout the youth wrestling program,

244
00:21:12,300 --> 00:21:13,800
I mean, they are there most of the time.

245
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:29,940
So again, so many people to congratulate and an amazing accomplishment that we can all be a part of and something that just amazing, sorry, just amazing state champion.

246
00:21:30,380 --> 00:21:33,700
So I'd like to welcome Coach Gilmour up to the podium.

247
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:37,100
Thank you.

248
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,000
I'm not really good talking, but this is about wrestling, so I should be okay.

249
00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:44,500
First off, just thanks for all the support that we've always had, it's amazing.

250
00:21:44,500 --> 00:21:51,780
Mister hockey talk about adversity and all three of these wrestlers had adversity from the year before they all fell a little bit shorter

251
00:21:51,780 --> 00:21:56,720
Where they wanted to be and we had goals set, you know, and they they had fantastic seasons and

252
00:21:57,540 --> 00:22:02,820
You know, going into that week we're like hey, we need to we can be top 10 we can do this as a team

253
00:22:02,820 --> 00:22:08,000
We need bonus points which is winning by bigger bigger margins and out of our

254
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:13,800
I don't know, out of our 10 or 12 wins that we had, I think, all but two were with bonus points

255
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:20,720
and that helped us get to the top 10, which was amazing, and each bracket, they had some

256
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:26,060
definitely obstacles, Dom had a bracket with three returning state champs, and those three

257
00:22:26,060 --> 00:22:29,900
state champs were also three national champs, so he had...

258
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:36,060
He had a pretty tough breath to go through, and he met the eventual state champ in the semis.

259
00:22:36,340 --> 00:22:39,760
Russell and Gray, and then was able to bounce back in and still take fifth.

260
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:47,220
Taken in his quarters matches, second match had the projected state champ, who was ranked 13th in the nation.

261
00:22:48,100 --> 00:22:50,900
And he was able to beat him in the second round.

262
00:22:51,500 --> 00:22:57,740
And then fell about 30 seconds short in the state semis to just miss going to the state finals.

263
00:22:57,740 --> 00:23:00,260
and he was able to bounce back and take forth.

264
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,480
And then Cliff, in his semi-finals match,

265
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,560
had the projected champ, and like Mr. Hockey said,

266
00:23:07,580 --> 00:23:09,220
it was a battle, he was able to win that,

267
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,180
and then able to keep his head and competitive nature

268
00:23:12,180 --> 00:23:14,920
to beat an opponent that gave Cliff

269
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:16,100
his only loss on the season.

270
00:23:16,780 --> 00:23:18,340
We lost him earlier in the year,

271
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,500
Cliff was able to beat him at districts,

272
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,860
and then we got that amazing take down at the end

273
00:23:23,860 --> 00:23:25,380
to win the state title.

274
00:23:26,300 --> 00:23:32,440
And as much as that was amazing to, to make top 10 and bring three guys and three place

275
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:37,320
there's and have a state champ, the amount of messages that we received from the community

276
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:42,380
and everything was awesome and one of the first people to message me was Mark Baylogg.

277
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,640
I've known from high school, used to train with them.

278
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:50,380
He lives actually over in China right now and he teaches English over there and he was one of the first

279
00:23:50,380 --> 00:23:54,220
ones to message me saying congratulations so that was pretty cool.

280
00:23:54,220 --> 00:24:00,820
But it doesn't happen without the support. I know we were loud in the wrestling room with the board office, and we smell it up a little bit

281
00:24:00,820 --> 00:24:04,840
But you guys are nothing but great to us, and I want to thank you

282
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,100
Appreciate it.

283
00:24:15,830 --> 00:24:16,270
I

284
00:24:16,270 --> 00:24:22,930
Don't totally have a lot to say, but it's all I can say that I want to thank all my coaches for

285
00:24:23,730 --> 00:24:25,690
Keeping me here in the sport

286
00:24:25,690 --> 00:24:33,690
Because I mean it's hard to say or to think that I was a day away from leaving the sport this year and

287
00:24:35,130 --> 00:24:42,010
become a state champion after finding passion in the sport and is a big achievement to

288
00:24:42,010 --> 00:24:48,590
be able to flip my mindset after my loss that I took in January and going on a path

289
00:24:48,590 --> 00:24:54,870
to get the state title and just having a good atmosphere around me with my teammates and my

290
00:24:54,870 --> 00:25:00,350
coaches and continually pushing me to get better and become and get the best out of the season

291
00:25:00,350 --> 00:25:03,670
I can and future opportunities that make them.

292
00:25:05,230 --> 00:25:05,910
Thank you.

293
00:25:09,380 --> 00:25:11,880
So, Cliff, I do have a quick question for you.

294
00:25:13,860 --> 00:25:16,440
So, one day away from not wrestling this year

295
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:17,460
to state champion,

296
00:25:18,540 --> 00:25:20,580
I hear you're going to be W to play football.

297
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:21,580
Yeah.

298
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:23,620
Wrestling in your college future?

299
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,240
That's what we're totally figuring out.

300
00:25:28,340 --> 00:25:29,660
There's a lot of good opportunities

301
00:25:29,660 --> 00:25:36,960
that are coming to me and I have to kind of decipher through them and take what's best

302
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:42,620
for my future and I think it's, it may be in the books, that's all I can say, I'm just,

303
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:52,180
it's exciting, a lot of a lot of big future for me I feel and I feel accomplished as a stage

304
00:25:52,180 --> 00:25:57,800
champion and as a freshman, not even making it through the district tournament and now being

305
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,700
to say, Champ is a, it's, it's continually to keep going.

306
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,020
It keep pushing us and testing myself.

307
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:06,200
I'm very proud of you.

308
00:26:06,500 --> 00:26:07,800
I used to babysit Cliff.

309
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,340
So he's my bud.

310
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:16,000
So I am very glad Mr. Hauke that you went live

311
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,180
because I was able to watch it and I'm like, wait a minute,

312
00:26:19,420 --> 00:26:20,900
this is 285.

313
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,280
You would put it down and I'm like,

314
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:24,580
yelling at my husband and I'm like,

315
00:26:24,580 --> 00:26:30,700
Cliff is on. He's right wrestling in the state championship, so I was so excited to watch the

316
00:26:30,700 --> 00:26:38,060
whole thing. I could tell how excited you were going back and forth and Mr. Gilmore. You're

317
00:26:38,060 --> 00:26:44,640
excited. It was so enthusiastic, but Cliff, I'm so proud of you. You've done such a great

318
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:50,420
job. I know you got to live up to your sister, too, but you're really outdoing her. I promise

319
00:26:50,420 --> 00:26:57,840
you. Thank you. Thank you guys and Tegan. It's good to see you doing well as well and you

320
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:03,140
are our friend family. And next to meet you as well. And I see a good future for you in

321
00:27:03,140 --> 00:27:09,600
wrestling, Mr. Defilipo. Is that correct? All right. Thank you so much for coming in. I'm so glad

322
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:15,960
that we got to hear your stories. So it's great. Thank you.

323
00:27:33,860 --> 00:27:35,720
Guys, we got an exciting strategic plan.

324
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:36,580
going to go through.

325
00:27:44,580 --> 00:27:51,400
Next up I want to talk about and present our strategic plan. We spent

326
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:58,340
many months this past school year working with our students, our staff, our parents, our

327
00:27:58,340 --> 00:28:06,340
community, our community leaders and our community businesses in order to look at the direction

328
00:28:06,340 --> 00:28:12,100
that we want to go with the school district over the next several years.

329
00:28:13,940 --> 00:28:17,820
Our strategic planning process and our district is very important to us.

330
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:22,900
It's not something that we just post on our website or hang on our walls.

331
00:28:23,360 --> 00:28:29,180
It's an actual plan with goals that we strive to meet and complete.

332
00:28:29,940 --> 00:28:35,620
It's developed collaboratively to ensure that our district is a representation of our

333
00:28:35,620 --> 00:28:42,380
community as well as our communities expectations for us.

334
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:51,860
The strategic plan, we have a guiding North Star for our district, and that's something

335
00:28:51,860 --> 00:28:59,160
that we created in a similar collaborative fashion several years ago, and that's our

336
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:06,440
portrait of the B. What you will see as our central office administrative team goes through

337
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:14,020
the plan is reflections of our portrait of a B throughout the entire plan as we work on developing

338
00:29:14,020 --> 00:29:21,620
our students not only in academics but also as people and citizens as well.

339
00:29:22,780 --> 00:29:28,240
That's also the case for our portrait of an educator, our portrait of an educator,

340
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:33,140
Craig, just so you know I'm about two or three slides down. Our Portrait of an educator,

341
00:29:34,260 --> 00:29:41,220
our Portrait of an educator developed based off of our Portrait of a B. Also,

342
00:29:41,620 --> 00:29:50,580
reflected throughout our strategic plan. These are qualities that we want to see in individuals

343
00:29:50,580 --> 00:29:57,440
that work within our districts with our student. So high expectations for the

344
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,840
Development of our students, also high expectations.

345
00:30:05,900 --> 00:30:16,440
It's important to note, as our team goes through the plan this evening, that we had a very specific goal with this plan.

346
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:24,120
This is now, I think, my third strategic plan that I've been able to be a part of in our school district.

347
00:30:25,020 --> 00:30:40,340
Previous plans are really worked and looked at ways that we could really move our district forward to be a top district in the not only region but the state and also the country.

348
00:30:40,340 --> 00:30:50,820
I can tell you in my collaborative efforts in working with other school districts and collaborating, both at the state and national levels, that we are one of those districts.

349
00:30:51,660 --> 00:31:05,080
We are a district that other districts come to in order to see what we're doing so they can try and implement similar programming for the success of students within their schools as well.

350
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:15,700
And that's reflected in the many presentations that our team, our teachers, our administrators have done over the course of the past school years.

351
00:31:16,780 --> 00:31:23,260
So this strategic plan rather than being focused on change is really focused on maintaining and improving.

352
00:31:24,740 --> 00:31:32,620
We've got great pillars in place for our school district that we've developed over the course of the last two strategic plans.

353
00:31:32,620 --> 00:31:40,920
This plan is about strengthening those pillars and creating more opportunities for our students.

354
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:53,440
A key part of this strategic plan is really looking at a fresh look at our motto for the upcoming years.

355
00:31:53,440 --> 00:32:04,340
Every student every day has been our district mantra or saying for almost 10 years and it's something that we've lived by.

356
00:32:05,620 --> 00:32:15,320
We developed a new mantra, a new cry for moving forward and that's preparing every beat to learn, lead and thrive.

357
00:32:16,220 --> 00:32:23,320
So, learn, lead and thrive directly, again, relates to both of our portraits, and you'll

358
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:30,040
see this being updated on our website as well as all documents in the district, as well

359
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:35,940
as the motto to help move us forward when we move through initiatives, whether it's celebrating

360
00:32:35,940 --> 00:32:39,120
successes or moving through challenges.

361
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:46,840
And then our goal of student-centered education is empowering minds and expanding possibilities.

362
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:53,840
So again, that's right in line with our portrait of a B and our portrait of an educator as well.

363
00:32:54,160 --> 00:33:03,320
And providing ownership for our students in order to choose their direction and be responsible for their own education

364
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,140
through us empowering them to do so.

365
00:33:06,140 --> 00:33:11,140
I'd like to welcome in invite Dorian Osmond up.

366
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:18,360
We were able to work with the impact group through this process, which was vital to us in

367
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:26,640
ensuring that we had a high quality strategic plan that truly reflected our community as well

368
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:27,640
of our students.

369
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:36,400
Involving a third party entity in the development allows for open conversations and sharing

370
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:44,400
likes, dislikes, recommended directions for our district, and Dorina is going to talk

371
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:52,500
about today how our plan was developed and what brought us to the final version that we're

372
00:33:52,500 --> 00:33:53,520
presenting to the board tonight.

373
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:59,600
Good evening, Madam President, Mr. Sabel, and board members, and community members.

374
00:33:59,860 --> 00:34:00,580
My name is Doreena.

375
00:34:00,580 --> 00:34:05,580
I work with the impact group, and I've been with the impact group for about the last 18

376
00:34:05,580 --> 00:34:11,660
months, but I am a 35-year veteran of public education, so I'm excited to still work and connect

377
00:34:11,660 --> 00:34:12,780
with school districts.

378
00:34:13,260 --> 00:34:18,720
And like Mr. Sabel just said, it is building on the strong, strong foundation of what

379
00:34:18,720 --> 00:34:24,320
the Medina schools do and provide for their students but also provide for their staff the

380
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:31,160
learning environment. And so at the impact group, which is a firm based in Northeast Ohio,

381
00:34:31,240 --> 00:34:38,260
out of Hudson, Ohio, that serves schools districts mostly in strategic planning and communications

382
00:34:38,260 --> 00:34:44,900
and also culture development. So our process that we like to do and working collaboratively

383
00:34:44,900 --> 00:34:50,400
with the leadership of each district, is making sure that there are stakeholders voices

384
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:54,340
are heard, and there's multiple opportunities to do that.

385
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:59,800
So we start with a visioning process and a SWAT analysis, which is strengths, weaknesses,

386
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:05,280
opportunities, threats, and we did that with the leadership team, and we also did it with

387
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,200
the Board of Education in an open session.

388
00:35:07,700 --> 00:35:14,560
I have the honor to be here in June, and listen to the progress report of the previous strategic

389
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:20,560
plan, which I think was an integral part of making sure that I fully understand the strong

390
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:27,960
foundation that over the last four and five and six years. So this was a very great place.

391
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:33,520
It was a place to start of strength. And then we go into focus groups. The focus groups were

392
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:44,160
based with students and both of the middle schools and then high school. The focus group was

393
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:48,580
listening to their voice hearing their feedback about what their

394
00:35:48,580 --> 00:35:53,500
experiencing day-to-day is makes a difference. You heard their voices tonight,

395
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,820
whether it was the speech and debate team or the wrestlers and how they had

396
00:35:57,820 --> 00:36:02,720
the environment to succeed. There was somebody in their corner, and that was

397
00:36:02,720 --> 00:36:06,920
something that was evident throughout the focus groups, especially with our

398
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:11,360
students. And that is something to be proud of. Students recognize it. I worked very

399
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:16,880
closely with a central office leadership team and the principles to make sure that the students

400
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:21,740
that were part of those focus groups represented the student body, so, you know, male

401
00:36:21,740 --> 00:36:27,840
female students, that were assessments and math leads and athletes, students that might not

402
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:33,860
feel like they belong. So it was a great representation of students, students with disabilities,

403
00:36:33,860 --> 00:36:38,620
students who are gifted. So it was excellent. I actually, I actually,

404
00:36:40,180 --> 00:36:45,260
Medina as the model of how to get students involved and involved in their

405
00:36:45,260 --> 00:36:49,120
their focus groups. Also met with the staff at all the levels, and then

406
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:53,080
parents and community, we had focus groups also, and then conducted

407
00:36:53,660 --> 00:36:57,480
interviews with community leaders. So if you think about your police and

408
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:04,760
higher, your mayor and other community leaders and trying to get that one to one perspective.

409
00:37:05,240 --> 00:37:13,120
And also, it reinforces the importance of that partnership of city leaders, municipal leaders,

410
00:37:13,700 --> 00:37:15,460
community leaders to the schools.

411
00:37:16,180 --> 00:37:21,360
I am biased because of my background, I feel the school is the heart of a community.

412
00:37:22,540 --> 00:37:28,040
So, and it is, Medina schools are the heart of this community.

413
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:29,980
Also, another way to...

414
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:41,080
To get that community involvement is are the surveys. And so we had a strong survey response with students and grades 7 through 12. Some sixth graders also took it.

415
00:37:41,100 --> 00:37:59,400
We had 150 staff responses and then over a thousand parents and community responses went into that. So what happens then is that we take those all of those results and there are themes that emerge and those themes then become the goals and then the supporting objectives.

416
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:03,120
that I know that the team won't be talking about.

417
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:10,400
One of the questions I think that is really important is on each survey for the staff survey and the community survey.

418
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:11,680
This is the community survey.

419
00:38:12,060 --> 00:38:17,380
I'm highlighting the 10 top words that they associate with the Medina City Schools.

420
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:25,860
Good, caring, supportive, safe, excellent, great, engaged community, inclusive and big.

421
00:38:26,820 --> 00:38:33,140
It is. I mean, can't hide from it. That's what it is. But there are ways that you

422
00:38:33,140 --> 00:38:37,420
are trying to make it a smaller community, so every student has that sense of belonging.

423
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:43,820
And then the staff, their words collectively, or innovative, caring, supportive, engaging,

424
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:50,700
inclusive, excellent, safe, committed, dedicated, and student-centered, all very important words

425
00:38:50,700 --> 00:38:55,740
than all words that you can stand on as school board members, but also as a school community.

426
00:38:56,780 --> 00:39:00,440
It was an honor and privilege to work with your staff.

427
00:39:00,580 --> 00:39:06,280
You have excellent leaders in your principles, your superintendent, and I'm not sucking up,

428
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:06,740
I promise.

429
00:39:08,240 --> 00:39:16,440
And your treasure and I just amazing, really amazing people that care deeply and your staff

430
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:16,820
too.

431
00:39:16,820 --> 00:39:29,020
So, I feel like I'm breaking up with a district, but you will have a special place in my heart and I hope to share you on in any way possible.

432
00:39:33,020 --> 00:39:34,620
Next, is Cassidy.

433
00:39:43,270 --> 00:39:49,930
Okay, our section tonight is a goal one, strength and high quality learning and engagement for every student.

434
00:39:49,930 --> 00:39:55,830
And I'm really excited about our goals and our objectives because they really do is Aaron said,

435
00:39:56,190 --> 00:39:59,850
build on the work that we have been doing these past 10 years.

436
00:40:00,670 --> 00:40:03,990
So our first goal is all about our deeper learning initiative.

437
00:40:05,210 --> 00:40:12,150
So what we've been working on so far is embedding capstone into fifth grade, eighth grade,

438
00:40:12,270 --> 00:40:18,350
and in senior year, we've been working on getting our daily deeper learning experiences in classrooms

439
00:40:18,350 --> 00:40:24,350
every day in the future what we in the next five years that we hope to work on is to expand

440
00:40:24,350 --> 00:40:30,290
capstone right now we've got capstone in all fifth grade all eighth grade in a couple years

441
00:40:30,290 --> 00:40:36,930
we'll have it all seniors will be participating and we'll also be doing working on cornerstones

442
00:40:36,930 --> 00:40:42,870
which would which are off year so every year except fifth grade eighth grade and seniors

443
00:40:42,870 --> 00:40:48,210
and it will help students lead up to their capstone so those are the things we're going to be working on

444
00:40:48,350 --> 00:40:53,890
We have project based learning also going on in our classrooms, which is a form of deeper learning.

445
00:40:54,670 --> 00:41:01,430
We had 25 teachers that were trained last summer. We have another 25 teachers that are going to be trained this summer.

446
00:41:01,570 --> 00:41:04,210
So that's also very exciting for our deeper learning goal.

447
00:41:04,990 --> 00:41:09,330
The second objective is all about our career focus.

448
00:41:10,470 --> 00:41:15,830
Lisa has talked to you already about how our high school is moving into career pathways.

449
00:41:15,830 --> 00:41:22,270
And that's something that we are going to build on and expand on and you're going to be hearing a lot more about in the coming months.

450
00:41:23,030 --> 00:41:26,250
We have our fifth grade capstone focused around career.

451
00:41:26,670 --> 00:41:29,790
We have project lead the way going on at the middle schools.

452
00:41:30,170 --> 00:41:35,370
And we have our CEO, of course, at the high school where kids can do internships for 40 hours.

453
00:41:35,550 --> 00:41:37,170
But we're going to build on that.

454
00:41:37,430 --> 00:41:44,150
We're going to be adding in hopefully some more electives at the middle school to help students really explore pathways.

455
00:41:44,150 --> 00:41:50,210
We're going to be expanding our elementary and then again expanding our pathway program at the high school.

456
00:41:50,410 --> 00:41:52,710
So that's some exciting things to come.

457
00:41:53,770 --> 00:41:58,770
Our third, fourth and sixth objectives all really kind of go together.

458
00:41:59,290 --> 00:42:05,870
So the third objective is all about strengthening what we know about good instruction in literacy,

459
00:42:05,870 --> 00:42:14,170
numercy and executive functioning, differentiation and then expanding higher level opportunities.

460
00:42:15,010 --> 00:42:20,850
So what we want to do is stay up-to-date on best practices, there's a lot of legislation

461
00:42:20,850 --> 00:42:28,770
coming about we have RIMPS right now, which is where we're working with students on reading

462
00:42:28,770 --> 00:42:36,570
improvement plans. There's further legislation that's on the horizon that math may be coming,

463
00:42:37,230 --> 00:42:44,570
so we'll be having mips as well. So differentiation is really important and we are going to be

464
00:42:44,570 --> 00:42:49,430
doing that within our deeper learning initiative. We call it guidance support. That's all part of

465
00:42:49,430 --> 00:42:56,470
our deeper learning. So we'll be working on differentiation and then also making sure that we are hitting

466
00:42:56,470 --> 00:43:00,910
all ends of the spectrum so students that are struggling and also students that may need

467
00:43:00,910 --> 00:43:08,530
an extra challenge. So I am going to go ahead and turn over 1.5 of the 1.5 objective to Craig

468
00:43:08,530 --> 00:43:09,990
who's going to talk about technology.

469
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:16,440
Thank you. At 1.5 we were talking about empowering

470
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:22,020
staff and students to appropriately utilize emerging technologies and one of the biggest ones

471
00:43:22,020 --> 00:43:28,180
that's emerging is looking at AI. So this year we've been working with our technology

472
00:43:28,180 --> 00:43:34,840
vision committee, it's encompassed with members of every building, elementary through high

473
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:40,880
school, and we're really focusing on training and learning all of the different technologies

474
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:46,640
that are out there, but more importantly, the ones that we can use. We are a Google school

475
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:52,760
system, so Gemini is obviously one of the big platforms, but we also are getting Magic School AI

476
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:57,960
for free this year, so that's another platform that we've been using. We are part of a

477
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:06,000
that's works to create and procure, secure data privacy agreements.

478
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,960
And those are a new mandate that we have to follow.

479
00:44:10,720 --> 00:44:17,020
And we have to make sure that the companies and the products that we are using are all data privacy

480
00:44:17,020 --> 00:44:22,440
driven protecting our students and all of our staff and our school districts data.

481
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:33,380
So, there's a lot of information, there's a lot of companies, there's a lot of pieces of software that we can use as adults, but are not appropriate for schools.

482
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:41,640
So, it's also educating our staff and differentiating what tools are appropriate and how we use those tools in schools.

483
00:44:41,740 --> 00:44:49,500
So, that's what we've been working on this year is getting training on that, looking at the different platforms, getting data privacy agreements in place,

484
00:44:49,500 --> 00:44:53,740
and looking at all of those and make sure that people are aware of those and then look

485
00:44:53,740 --> 00:44:59,980
in forward providing training to our staff so we have we've just had at-

486
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:08,440
Our previous staff and service day, somebody come in to give us some training on notebook, LM, Gemini.

487
00:45:08,740 --> 00:45:14,240
We also have somebody coming in in October for all staff and service day who's going to be doing

488
00:45:14,240 --> 00:45:19,240
more all day sessions. And on top of that we're going to be pushing information out for all

489
00:45:19,240 --> 00:45:25,960
of our staff, which then trickles down to all of our students. All of our students that are appropriate

490
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:33,600
to use AI. So we need to embed this into our, uh, into our education to our curriculum in ways

491
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,640
that will enhance learning, not do learning for the students.

492
00:45:38,950 --> 00:45:40,810
All right, we are going to move on

493
00:45:40,810 --> 00:45:45,630
to go to, which is supporting student wellness with Mrs. Pizzica.

494
00:45:49,750 --> 00:45:51,610
So this school is Mr. Sable

495
00:45:51,610 --> 00:45:56,550
kind of mentioned. It's not really creating anything new. It's really strengthening our social

496
00:45:56,550 --> 00:46:00,570
emotional well-being, our behavior systems, and our school climate across the district.

497
00:46:01,530 --> 00:46:07,130
So the first objective is really taking a look at our social and emotional resources that

498
00:46:07,130 --> 00:46:12,850
we have available to us through our counselors, our programming, and our partnerships, and

499
00:46:12,850 --> 00:46:19,070
making sure that we are assessing those resources and then also sharing what's available

500
00:46:19,070 --> 00:46:24,610
to our students, to our staff, and our community partnerships and making sure that it's

501
00:46:24,610 --> 00:46:28,130
understood by everybody and then also accessible to everybody.

502
00:46:28,630 --> 00:46:33,690
The resources are wonderful, but if people don't know how to access them, then how

503
00:46:33,690 --> 00:46:34,450
good are they.

504
00:46:34,610 --> 00:46:38,770
So we want to make sure that they're not only understood, but accessible to all of our stakeholders.

505
00:46:39,810 --> 00:46:46,090
Our second focus is maintaining the consistency that we have with our student behavior and how

506
00:46:46,090 --> 00:46:47,710
we're addressing it across the district.

507
00:46:48,370 --> 00:46:52,910
We currently have a framework that we're using to, for all of our behavior expectations.

508
00:46:52,910 --> 00:46:58,870
We want to maintain this clarity and consistency for all of our students across the district from

509
00:46:58,870 --> 00:47:07,630
Building to Building and provide that clear guidance for our staff and make sure that we're fair in how we're addressing situations from building to building

510
00:47:08,990 --> 00:47:11,250
The next one is looking at

511
00:47:12,310 --> 00:47:19,090
Our third focus is listening to our staff and students listening to their voices in the buildings

512
00:47:19,090 --> 00:47:43,490
And this is looking at doing a climate and wellness survey to understand their experience and taking this information and then understanding where the needs are and then creating resources and tools to help us identify what we need to really focus on for them and then respond to those needs for them.

513
00:47:43,490 --> 00:47:48,590
And then, in 2.4, it's really, this is kind of the cornerstone of our work.

514
00:47:49,110 --> 00:47:59,370
To strengthen those adult student relationships, we know that the research shows that having those strong relationships is what's important for students success.

515
00:47:59,710 --> 00:48:10,110
So really leaning into those opportunities of having those advisory programs, mentoring opportunities that promote empathy and resiliency and responsibility,

516
00:48:10,110 --> 00:48:13,930
which are really those characteristics that we talk about in a portrait of a educator

517
00:48:14,550 --> 00:48:18,890
and providing kind of that whole child approach for our students.

518
00:48:19,830 --> 00:48:23,250
So that's really kind of the global approach here in

519
00:48:23,250 --> 00:48:25,870
goal 2 is taking that whole child approach.

520
00:48:26,670 --> 00:48:30,970
So I think we're really excited about this work and sharing the progress here in goal 2.

521
00:48:34,340 --> 00:48:34,740
Uh-oh.

522
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,680
It's like a never ending speaker series.

523
00:48:41,420 --> 00:48:43,560
All right. I needed to make a joke to break up there.

524
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:50,260
So I'm Ryan O'Coll right now, just to add another joke else.

525
00:48:50,460 --> 00:48:52,620
I don't have, I can stand on the thing, I guess.

526
00:48:53,820 --> 00:48:59,780
So in terms of facilities for our work in that goal, the first goal is something we're

527
00:48:59,780 --> 00:49:02,920
already doing, but we want to continue that work and build on it, and that's a theme you're

528
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:04,200
going to hear in all of these.

529
00:49:04,700 --> 00:49:08,440
But to continue to work with the facilities, community to create a master plan that will

530
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:09,960
drive our work with facilities.

531
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:23,080
So we don't do this on our own. We do it with the community and with our facilities committee to address the needs based on our shifting community, whether that's enrollment or safety or the requirements that each building provides us.

532
00:49:23,460 --> 00:49:31,900
The second one is addressing those needs then depending on which ones are high need because again in a school district you could use funds forever.

533
00:49:31,900 --> 00:49:39,000
I know Andrews brought it up in here like there's a limit to how much money you have but you could continue to you know need things you could paint

534
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,760
For impurpetuity around here, right?

535
00:49:41,780 --> 00:49:47,280
You could continue to paint but we have to then take that list from the first school and then create a

536
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:53,820
Align that with long-term planning to identify which things we're gonna address and then the third goal is then to create

537
00:49:53,820 --> 00:49:59,000
Facilities plan to address the other areas too because we are about the business of education

538
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:04,700
but we want to address arts and athletics and the extra curricular facility needs to and to try to

539
00:50:04,700 --> 00:50:09,620
hope to do that with outside funding sources. So can we look at sponsorships and other opportunities

540
00:50:09,620 --> 00:50:18,260
to make sure we're leveraging the community as much as possible. And then the fourth objective

541
00:50:18,260 --> 00:50:23,740
is we're looking to do this. And once a year we meet with the city but continue to expand our

542
00:50:23,740 --> 00:50:29,740
operations with shared services again with the goal of fiscal responsibility but also saving

543
00:50:29,740 --> 00:50:35,580
funds as much as we can. And then the fifth goal most recently, Erin and I attended a meeting

544
00:50:35,580 --> 00:50:40,740
where we're monitoring enrollment trends with housing developments so that we can continue to

545
00:50:40,740 --> 00:50:45,080
again, this one kind of weeds through all of these. But we're using enrollment trends to then look

546
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:50,560
at what are the best ways to utilize our buildings as this board has most recently done. But all

547
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:55,280
these work together again to utilize taxpayer dollars as specifically responsible as possible

548
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:58,540
to keep our facilities as up-to-date as possible.

549
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:02,040
And then I'm going to turn it over to Amy.

550
00:51:05,180 --> 00:51:05,620
Who's Amy?

551
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:08,660
That's one right.

552
00:51:11,340 --> 00:51:18,080
So go for focuses on strengthening communication, transparency, and community engagement across the district.

553
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:25,900
So, the objective of these goals are the objectives that you'll see here, is to continue

554
00:51:25,900 --> 00:51:31,740
to improve how we, as a district, share information and connect with our community.

555
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:38,660
I'm ensuring that communication is clear, it's accessible and it's too way, which is

556
00:51:38,660 --> 00:51:45,200
something that we've been working really hard to try to get to and creating new and different

557
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:48,580
ways to do that so that we can continue to engage people.

558
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:54,720
Some of the key priorities that you'll see in these objectives is to continue to improve

559
00:51:54,720 --> 00:51:55,900
communication systems.

560
00:51:56,680 --> 00:52:03,060
So information is consistent, easy to access, and reaches all stakeholders, expanding outreach

561
00:52:03,060 --> 00:52:07,060
beyond parents to include residents, senior citizens, and community partners.

562
00:52:07,740 --> 00:52:13,680
And this is a continuing challenge that we do have, so it's going to be really important

563
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:20,440
for us as a district administrative team to really talk and walk through what that could look like.

564
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:26,860
We talked about transparency and sharing clear information, user friendly information,

565
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:29,960
and specifically about finances, our program.

566
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:36,380
Programming, facilities in our performance, as you've recently seen, we started doing the Friday

567
00:52:36,380 --> 00:52:43,440
Focus on Finances, and we look to continue to do many things like that. And we want to create

568
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:48,520
stand opportunities for feedback and dialogue, so this is that two-way communication between

569
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:54,520
our community and school districts. So looking to create advisory groups, be part of advisory

570
00:52:54,520 --> 00:53:01,460
groups do public forums which we've done in the past so maybe looking to resurrect that idea

571
00:53:01,460 --> 00:53:07,700
but maybe in a different format have listening sessions and regular feedback cycles throughout

572
00:53:07,700 --> 00:53:13,920
the community. So go for really aims to continue to build trust and strong relationships with all

573
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:19,060
of our stakeholders by improving clear transparent and to a communication between the district

574
00:53:19,060 --> 00:53:20,680
in our entire community.

575
00:53:24,740 --> 00:53:26,240
I'll give it back to Chris.

576
00:53:29,750 --> 00:53:39,710
Goal five is how we're going to support our workforce in making sure that not only do we recruit a strong workforce that that we continue to provide them professional development once they're here.

577
00:53:39,910 --> 00:53:42,870
So the first objective looks at professional learning.

578
00:53:43,150 --> 00:53:49,250
We'll provide one staff is within the district and making sure that they have a voice within that professional development.

579
00:53:49,250 --> 00:53:55,930
And then the second goal is improving our recruitment and retention, looking for different pathways

580
00:53:55,930 --> 00:54:02,830
to do that. And while we're recruiting and retaining employees, doing that through strong

581
00:54:02,830 --> 00:54:08,130
onboarding and mentoring programs. So spending those opportunities. The third one feeds

582
00:54:08,130 --> 00:54:12,790
into what Nina talked about, which is measuring and addressing areas of staff morale and making

583
00:54:12,790 --> 00:54:18,350
sure we address those, so through those surveys she discussed with the staff. And then finally,

584
00:54:18,350 --> 00:54:24,190
making sure we proactively recruit and meet staff needs through our current educator shortage.

585
00:54:25,430 --> 00:54:30,630
So as those change and we come into a shortage in different areas that we're making sure

586
00:54:30,630 --> 00:54:36,830
to meet those needs. Sub-shortage those kinds of things. Next is Dave.

587
00:54:39,130 --> 00:54:40,030
Are you coming here?

588
00:54:52,760 --> 00:55:01,820
Okay. The final goal is goal six to ensure long-term fiscal responsibility. Our first

589
00:55:01,820 --> 00:55:08,700
objective. We look to strengthen the transparency that we have through communications. I know

590
00:55:08,700 --> 00:55:13,760
Amy mentioned communications. We try and tie that in. The communications that comes out of her

591
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:22,380
department helps our department be more transparent. And she spoke about on Friday focus and financials.

592
00:55:22,660 --> 00:55:28,220
We're also looking at our monthly reports, getting those to be more community friendly. We're looking

593
00:55:28,220 --> 00:55:34,200
at our forecast, or if you haven't noticed over the last two years, we've tried to get away

594
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:40,240
from the numbers on the forecast and look more towards what is important to not only you

595
00:55:40,240 --> 00:55:47,780
as a board member to the community itself. So that's our first goal. Our second one is to continue

596
00:55:47,780 --> 00:55:56,940
advocacy. Mr. Sable is going down to the state. Mr. Sable is working with BASA. He's working

597
00:55:56,940 --> 00:56:03,760
with the Alliance. I'm working with the Alliance also on their legislative aspects. Also with

598
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:11,720
OSBO and OSBA. Those are different entities that we both go to and we both work hard to advocate

599
00:56:11,720 --> 00:56:18,780
for not only our school district but school districts throughout the state. So that is our second

600
00:56:18,780 --> 00:56:24,760
goal itself. Trying to advocate for the schools and do what's best for the schools to help the

601
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:32,320
legislators realize that as was stated before, we are the hub of communities and that's

602
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:37,820
what we want them to understand when they're putting out this legislation that at times

603
00:56:37,820 --> 00:56:43,020
seems to be against school districts. And finally, our third maintain fiscal stewardship.

604
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:51,720
We try and do this. We look for this. Every time we have a new objective coming out, every time

605
00:56:51,720 --> 00:56:58,000
Craig is looking at technology, he's looking for the best thing that his money could spend.

606
00:56:58,980 --> 00:57:07,440
It's not the most new item or the item that is getting all the play,

607
00:57:07,780 --> 00:57:11,500
it's what is best for the school district, what's best for the students of the school district,

608
00:57:12,060 --> 00:57:18,980
but everything that is spent in this district, we look for how it could affect not only

609
00:57:18,980 --> 00:57:24,370
students, but how it affects our bottom line. So that's what I'd go number three is about.

610
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:26,720
Any questions?

611
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:34,500
So our district mission, our updated mission is that Medina City Schools

612
00:57:34,500 --> 00:57:39,920
provides engaging and meaningful learning experiences that empower every student to grow as a

613
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:45,210
lifelong learner, explore their passions and pathways and develop the knowledge skills and

614
00:57:45,210 --> 00:57:52,510
need it for future success, which is outlined throughout this plan. And the vision directly

615
00:57:52,510 --> 00:57:57,330
from our portrait of a bee is Medina City Schools. We're prepared students to innovate,

616
00:57:57,650 --> 00:58:02,690
think critically, communicate effectively, collaborate with purpose, lead with integrity,

617
00:58:03,170 --> 00:58:07,990
and demonstrate resilience, equipping them to succeed and make meaningful contributions

618
00:58:07,990 --> 00:58:16,950
in a changing world. This plan is not on the agenda for approval tonight. The plan is

619
00:58:16,950 --> 00:58:22,410
to recommend it to the board at our April regular meeting for board approval. It does not

620
00:58:22,410 --> 00:58:30,170
go into place until the board approves it. Month seemed appropriate to have an opportunity

621
00:58:30,170 --> 00:58:33,130
to digest and provide any potential for their feedback.

622
00:58:35,180 --> 00:58:45,060
Well this presentation be part of these notes for this meeting or be posted on this so if the public or anybody wants to see it.

623
00:58:45,420 --> 00:58:52,040
Well we'll put it on our website and the strategic plan final draft is also attached to this agenda.

624
00:58:58,430 --> 00:59:03,710
Before we find out we're going to have the results of the surveys on our website.

625
00:59:05,190 --> 00:59:06,570
We are if they're not already.

626
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:20,480
And last item tonight is committee updates. Tina, you are loan sold.

627
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:33,060
So at our curriculum committee this month, we talked about adoptions that are coming up for next school year.

628
00:59:33,260 --> 00:59:40,440
One of the things that they looked at was a list of books that our ELA teachers would like to use with students.

629
00:59:41,060 --> 00:59:51,580
In next year, every year they submit new books, if new books come across their desk that they think kids would enjoy, and that's something that our committee looks at.

630
00:59:51,700 --> 00:59:54,500
So that's one thing, and then another was the science adoption.

631
00:59:55,100 --> 00:59:59,740
We had our curriculum coaches come and present and our assistant director.

632
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:07,160
Chair, Jackson, presented about the science adoption that we're going to have for grades 4 through 8 next year.

633
01:00:07,340 --> 01:00:12,040
And you will see that next month on the board agenda for a first review.

634
01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:16,840
And while I'm up here, I wanted to mention two other quick things.

635
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:19,700
First, we had our portrait of practice last week.

636
01:00:19,700 --> 01:00:23,780
And that was really, we had a really nice turnout.

637
01:00:24,140 --> 01:00:25,740
It was a very nice evening.

638
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:31,100
We had probably about 40 or 50 staff members come out

639
01:00:31,100 --> 01:00:33,540
with their students to show the amazing things

640
01:00:33,540 --> 01:00:34,800
that are going on in our classroom.

641
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:37,640
Thank you to those of you who are able to come

642
01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:41,260
because I hope you felt like it was a great experience too.

643
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:44,300
And then the other thing that I wanted to let you know

644
01:00:44,300 --> 01:00:47,580
was that all five of our elementary buildings

645
01:00:47,580 --> 01:00:53,840
received the Governor's Science of Reading Champion Award, and that is really a big achievement.

646
01:00:54,420 --> 01:01:00,420
So I wanted to thank our elementary principals and our elementary staff for working so hard.

647
01:01:00,820 --> 01:01:07,800
They did a lot of professional development on the science of reading, and they worked really hard to implement it, and that award was well deserved.

648
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:14,120
And I think if you go into any of the buildings in the next couple months, you'll see a big banner that says so.

649
01:01:14,620 --> 01:01:15,480
So, thank you.

650
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:24,480
And to add what Tina shared as well is we've been asked by the state to be a spotlight

651
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:29,080
district in the upcoming literacy workshop.

652
01:01:30,140 --> 01:01:34,580
So we're being recognized at the state level for the great work that's happening, especially

653
01:01:34,580 --> 01:01:40,460
at our elementary buildings with literacy, which says a lot with what a big focus it is

654
01:01:40,460 --> 01:01:42,880
right now in the state of Ohio.

655
01:01:43,460 --> 01:01:44,100
Thank you.

656
01:01:46,470 --> 01:01:48,810
Mr. Chambers, the treasurer's report.

657
01:02:09,020 --> 01:02:10,120
Hey, I'm back here.

658
01:02:10,700 --> 01:02:14,320
We're looking at February's financials.

659
01:02:14,620 --> 01:02:17,100
If, you know, I always try and start at the beginning.

660
01:02:17,740 --> 01:02:19,700
We had the $41 million in July.

661
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:24,960
We're going to start in July, because everything compares to where we started and where we're

662
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:25,220
ending.

663
01:02:25,860 --> 01:02:33,260
With revenues, $72 million have come in, and $69 million have gone out since July, and then

664
01:02:33,260 --> 01:02:37,800
our ending balance is at this point, $40 million, $900 million.

665
01:02:38,780 --> 01:02:42,980
With our revenues, we had total revenues of the 72 million.

666
01:02:43,100 --> 01:02:48,540
This is 62.8% of what we anticipate on our five-year forecast.

667
01:02:49,300 --> 01:02:52,260
A real property taxes, we collected $44 million.

668
01:02:53,040 --> 01:03:00,160
This is 24% I want to say this, 24% lower than we were last year at this time.

669
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:09,960
And the major reason about this is that tax bills went out late from the county treacherous office.

670
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:27,600
What we should be looking at, and I'll point it out when we get to our today's cash, is that we should be looking at that number being approximately six million dollars higher than last year at this time.

671
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:35,860
So, we are really low in our collections, the county auditor is low in getting mass money at this point.

672
01:03:36,580 --> 01:03:39,340
State foundation, 12,800,000.

673
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:43,600
It was at 4.8 percent of year over year in January.

674
01:03:43,780 --> 01:03:45,840
It's still at 4.8 percent.

675
01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:47,740
We get to our expenditures.

676
01:03:48,380 --> 01:03:51,000
Our total expenditures are at $69 million.

677
01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:53,680
It's sort of amazing.

678
01:03:53,680 --> 01:03:58,300
our total expenditures and our total revenue are at the same percentage of where we are looking

679
01:03:58,300 --> 01:04:08,140
at on our five-year forecast at this point at 62.8%. Our personal services, 38.3 million. This

680
01:04:08,140 --> 01:04:16,380
is 2.5% above last year at this time. And then our benefits 15 million is 13.2%. And again,

681
01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:23,660
I have to remind you that our benefits went up, our health care benefits went up 18%. So we

682
01:04:23,660 --> 01:04:31,200
We are running very close to, well, we are running behind where we were projecting with our

683
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:35,860
healthcare benefits, but we're running close to where our projections are with the forecast.

684
01:04:36,780 --> 01:04:42,960
And then our other expenditures, $9 million, this includes purchase services, supplies

685
01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:48,760
and capital, and as you can see, we're only $78,000 above where we spent last year at

686
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:49,460
this point.

687
01:04:50,380 --> 01:04:59,420
And here's your look at both your revenues and your expenditures if you like pie, that's a pun for the other day.

688
01:04:59,820 --> 01:05:08,580
If you like pie, so 61% is our real property, and again, that is low compared to where we should be at this point.

689
01:05:08,860 --> 01:05:14,660
And then you have 61% in personnel services, which is where I was talking about.

690
01:05:14,660 --> 01:05:22,180
We are very close in what we came in with our local revenues as compared to our local expenditures.

691
01:05:23,880 --> 01:05:37,260
Our investments, our investments are doing well. We're 164,000 above where we were last February, which is good because last year was our largest collection for investment purposes.

692
01:05:37,260 --> 01:05:43,660
So, right now we're at $1.5 million and finally our true days cash.

693
01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:51,080
If you look at that blue line for February, that blue line should be above that yellow line

694
01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:57,060
should even be approximately close to or a little bit above the red line at this point.

695
01:05:57,460 --> 01:06:02,540
But this is what the lack of collections to the district is doing at this point.

696
01:06:02,540 --> 01:06:26,220
So, March we have gotten a larger fourth advance, so hopefully by the end of March we will see that the blue line, which represents the current year, will be above both the yellow line and the red line, because we just passed that levee back in November of 2024.

697
01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:31,160
And then I want to give you a Friday focus.

698
01:06:31,740 --> 01:06:35,300
This was put out just this past Friday for those of you who didn't see.

699
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:37,640
This is talking about the property tax shift.

700
01:06:38,300 --> 01:06:44,380
And the reason for this property tax shift is the district was collecting on tangible personal

701
01:06:44,380 --> 01:06:44,840
property.

702
01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:51,680
And then the state removed tangible personal property from all property taxes for our businesses.

703
01:06:51,680 --> 01:07:02,520
And the state was reimbursing the districts for their loss, but the reimbursement was supposed to be reduced over a 10-year period.

704
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:09,120
Well, the reimbursements after about five or six years, the state said, we're just going to take it off.

705
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:15,440
And you could see the amount of money that we have lost on here.

706
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:23,380
In 2011, we were above $11 billion in tangible personal property, plus homestead rollback reimbursements.

707
01:07:23,940 --> 01:07:26,860
Now we are down to just over $5 million.

708
01:07:27,560 --> 01:07:29,960
So that shift from legislation...

709
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:35,340
Has caused a $6 million loss to the district on a yearly basis, basically.

710
01:07:36,420 --> 01:07:41,980
And that's why when we're talking about legislation and how it's hurting school districts,

711
01:07:42,620 --> 01:07:50,480
this was a piece of legislation that occurred back in the early 2000s that has hurt the district ever since.

712
01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:51,120
So,

713
01:07:53,520 --> 01:08:01,960
and finally, you know, I've said this before everything that I give to the board of education is out there on the website.

714
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:15,260
So if you want to take a look at it, we have our financials going back to 2000 and I believe it's 2021 at this point, but you could ask and we have it going back to 2014.

715
01:08:16,480 --> 01:08:16,940
Any questions?

716
01:08:19,810 --> 01:08:20,330
Thank you.

717
01:08:21,010 --> 01:08:22,210
Thank you, Mr. James.

718
01:08:26,100 --> 01:08:27,980
We're on to board communication.

719
01:08:30,480 --> 01:08:31,960
So would anybody like to start?

720
01:08:39,540 --> 01:08:39,700
All right.

721
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:40,480
Mr. Patrick?

722
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:41,200
All right.

723
01:08:41,320 --> 01:08:42,640
I picked up this panel already.

724
01:08:43,660 --> 01:08:46,680
Congratulations to the students at the month from March.

725
01:08:47,160 --> 01:08:49,220
Haley Gets and Silas Sundermier.

726
01:08:50,940 --> 01:08:53,220
Senior gymnast Anna Schorck.

727
01:08:54,540 --> 01:08:56,220
It was at the State Gymnastics meet.

728
01:08:56,220 --> 01:09:03,880
me. I think a week ago, she finished second in bars, fourth in all around, fifth in the floor

729
01:09:03,880 --> 01:09:12,740
and the uneven parallel bars. Congratulations to Leah Andrews who placed third in the county

730
01:09:12,740 --> 01:09:19,610
art league for a scholarship and won the Library's Choice Award. Last Wednesday, I attended the

731
01:09:19,610 --> 01:09:27,190
choir concert, very entertaining that kids did a nice job. Thursday I went to Mrs. Itabrew's

732
01:09:27,190 --> 01:09:35,730
class to see Hamlet and then later that night I went to Portrait in practice, which was

733
01:09:35,730 --> 01:09:42,590
very nice and the kids did a nice job presenting everything. I would like to remind everybody

734
01:09:42,590 --> 01:09:47,010
that this Saturday, Jasmine Taz starts at five o'clock.

735
01:09:47,170 --> 01:09:50,210
There's great music and also great food.

736
01:09:50,650 --> 01:09:54,870
April 17th, 18th, and 19th, Hades Town,

737
01:09:55,030 --> 01:09:57,570
the Tina Dition, is the high school musical.

738
01:09:58,770 --> 01:10:02,110
Also, this Saturday from 11 to three

739
01:10:02,110 --> 01:10:04,350
at the Old Firehouse on the Square,

740
01:10:04,930 --> 01:10:07,590
is an exhibit by the historical society,

741
01:10:07,730 --> 01:10:11,650
featuring Medina schools and the girls basketball teams

742
01:10:11,650 --> 01:10:21,810
of 76 and 77 that went to the regional finals. Saturday morning at the career center, there

743
01:10:21,810 --> 01:10:29,310
is a breakfast by the diesel tech program from 830 to 1130 and it's just whatever amount

744
01:10:29,310 --> 01:10:34,330
of money you want to donate. And then next week also at the high school and elementary

745
01:10:34,330 --> 01:10:39,730
schools say, well, welcome shuttle astronaut Bruce Melnick. And I would like to thank Linda

746
01:10:39,730 --> 01:10:46,410
hours for arranging all this for us and then one passing to no long time high school

747
01:10:46,410 --> 01:10:51,070
Spanish teacher Linda Horbath passed away last week and her funeral is Friday.

748
01:10:51,730 --> 01:10:52,650
Thank you.

749
01:10:56,070 --> 01:10:56,930
Mr. Hare?

750
01:10:58,630 --> 01:11:02,210
Yeah, I don't have much to share.

751
01:11:03,850 --> 01:11:12,910
Congratulations again to Cliff Nicholson for winning state and I would have like a

752
01:11:12,910 --> 01:11:19,990
obligation I think to mention that the boys lacrosse team kicked off their season with the big win this weekend over Riverside

753
01:11:19,990 --> 01:11:21,130
19-9.

754
01:11:24,540 --> 01:11:25,920
Okay, Mr. West, are you struggling?

755
01:11:29,550 --> 01:11:38,250
I don't have a lot, but I do, we had, for those of you don't know, I studied physics and astronomy and college.

756
01:11:38,850 --> 01:11:40,470
That was my educational background.

757
01:11:40,650 --> 01:11:43,630
We had a very interesting astronomical event today.

758
01:11:43,630 --> 01:11:50,150
I did not get to hear it, but I heard about it that there was a couple loud booms and I thought

759
01:11:50,810 --> 01:12:12,690
I over northeast Ohio and it turns out we had a meteor come in over Lake Eury from the north from Canada over Lake Eury on a north west of southeast trajectory and it exploded and about 30 or 40 miles above Lake Eury

760
01:12:12,690 --> 01:12:22,230
it exploded and continued on that trajectory and right now they're projecting that the

761
01:12:22,230 --> 01:12:28,230
landing zone would be somewhere here in Medina County all over Medina. They haven't really

762
01:12:28,230 --> 01:12:34,670
determined that yet but some stats I did be able was able to pick up I just thought this was kind

763
01:12:34,670 --> 01:12:43,630
on. He came in into the atmosphere at about 40,000 miles an hour, which is about 50 times

764
01:12:43,630 --> 01:12:50,710
the speed is sound, and it weighed about 8 tons, and was about 6 feet in diameter, and

765
01:12:50,710 --> 01:12:58,230
it exploded, which probably means it's some kind of a rocky style meteor, and it released

766
01:12:58,230 --> 01:13:08,690
about 250 tons of TNT equivalent in energy but it exploded because as comes into the atmosphere

767
01:13:08,690 --> 01:13:12,710
it builds up a huge pressure wave in front of it and the pressure gets so high it just blows

768
01:13:12,710 --> 01:13:19,430
it up. So look around in your yards if you find some kind of little strange looking rock that

769
01:13:19,430 --> 01:13:25,030
doesn't necessarily look it earthly I'd pick it up but it isn't as a block and maybe go find

770
01:13:25,030 --> 01:13:30,410
somebody a little more knowledgeable, but I thought that was a really interesting little tidbit

771
01:13:30,410 --> 01:13:39,270
that happened today, if you hadn't heard of it, kind of goes with our solar eclipse a

772
01:13:39,270 --> 01:13:46,190
few years ago here in Northeastern Ohio. I just thought that was a little interesting trivia,

773
01:13:46,750 --> 01:13:48,170
so that was my report.

774
01:13:53,790 --> 01:13:58,510
I just have a couple of things. So, Gina and I went to curriculum committee,

775
01:13:58,510 --> 01:14:10,550
The main thing that we did was look over the new science materials that was we had a really great presentation from the curriculum specialist going over the new materials and how it'll change

776
01:14:12,670 --> 01:14:17,950
Change the way they teach science and provide a lot of support for the teachers and then

777
01:14:18,790 --> 01:14:24,670
There was no policy committee this month, and then I didn't have a legislative meeting this month because it hasn't happened yet

778
01:14:24,670 --> 01:14:35,670
Um, I have been working on a draft legislative platform for the district using OSBA guidelines that I'll share with everyone when it's done. I'm just worried about typos.

779
01:14:37,510 --> 01:14:43,350
I attended the second Baptist Black History Month celebration where the

780
01:14:43,350 --> 01:14:50,050
Cligat choir performed and that was a really great, it was a really great evening, they told

781
01:14:50,050 --> 01:14:57,590
the story of the Porter family and shared a lot of history, local black history of

782
01:14:57,590 --> 01:14:59,970
Medina and it was just a really

783
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:29,980
An incredible story and they live streamed it on their Facebook page. So if you go back to a couple weeks ago, it was, you know, I don't remember what the date was. But anyways, it was a couple weeks ago on their Facebook page and they have a streaming of the celebration. I went and then I went home and I immediately made my husband watch it. So I know it's there. But I encourage everyone to check it out and hear this incredible local story. Also, Ms. Knox did a wonderful job with the client choir as she did.

784
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:38,020
last week also we had the Clagot choir concert at the pack. It's, I mean, she does, she runs a

785
01:15:38,020 --> 01:15:42,480
tight ship, she gets them in, she gets them out, you see your kid, they do a great job, she makes

786
01:15:42,480 --> 01:15:48,020
them look real good. The same evening we had portrait to practice, which Ms Cassie already mentioned,

787
01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:53,680
it's just, it's one of my favorite things that we've started doing, it's really incredible to see

788
01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:58,460
what's going on around the district, especially being able to see what's going on at different

789
01:15:58,460 --> 01:16:03,400
elementary schools since we have five of them and you can only experience, you know, so much

790
01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:10,580
at your home elementary school. There was the weight, the weight kids have a student council

791
01:16:10,580 --> 01:16:18,580
that they've developed and that was really just incredible. Student led with these committees

792
01:16:19,220 --> 01:16:25,380
for recycling and tutoring and cleaning up the school and this was just, you know, all all

793
01:16:25,380 --> 01:16:29,560
interest to the students and it's it's just really incredible what's going on over there

794
01:16:30,180 --> 01:16:36,640
and there there was a lot I only made it through about a third of the booths because I probably

795
01:16:36,640 --> 01:16:43,640
talked too much but but just because everything was so interesting and then I also had the opportunity to

796
01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:55,360
attend the Blake fifth grade Renaissance Fair that Mrs. Gasic hosts and I was in charge of the soap

797
01:16:55,360 --> 01:17:03,540
so that they then used their imaginations to come up with their own statues like in, you know,

798
01:17:03,640 --> 01:17:12,240
Renaissance, Aristotle statues. It was funny. And they had a good time coming up with what to

799
01:17:12,240 --> 01:17:16,740
carve and then actually carving the soap and, you know, and then there were a couple of other

800
01:17:16,740 --> 01:17:23,300
stations where Mrs. Gaseck did dancing and then they also had a paper paper airplane models and

801
01:17:23,300 --> 01:17:29,920
were testing to see which ones were better. And then I also went to root for the medical

802
01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:38,320
detectives clinic with Mrs. Tudor. And that was a lot of fun. You go in and you get to

803
01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:44,840
be a patient and you've got a backstory and the students have to diagnose you. So they're

804
01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:49,100
doing the exam, they're asking you how you're feeling, what's going on. And then at the end

805
01:17:49,100 --> 01:17:55,360
everything you get your diagnosis. And they did a really good job. I mean, it's a really cool

806
01:17:55,360 --> 01:18:01,520
class. So my daughter actually was just in medical detectives at Clagget. So I went home

807
01:18:01,520 --> 01:18:04,660
and I told her, I was like, yeah, I went to rude. I did medical detectives and she was like,

808
01:18:04,660 --> 01:18:10,460
we did not do that. So she was like, that sounds like a lot of fun. They had, they had

809
01:18:10,460 --> 01:18:13,980
cards and stuff where they did something similar, but they didn't have live patients to work

810
01:18:13,980 --> 01:18:23,140
So that's just something really cool that they're doing over at root and then the only other thing I had gene already mentioned was that Jasmine has this Saturday

811
01:18:23,140 --> 01:18:25,420
So thank you

812
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:27,820
y'all stole my band Thunder

813
01:18:27,820 --> 01:18:35,140
All right, so go to jazz Mattas. It is so much fun. I went last year and unfortunately have another

814
01:18:35,140 --> 01:18:43,100
thing to go to this Saturday, so I cannot make it, but I am I will tell you it is a great time at jazz

815
01:18:43,100 --> 01:18:43,600
has.

816
01:18:45,660 --> 01:18:51,420
So I just want to give shout out again to Cliff Nicholson, taking Gilmore and Dominic

817
01:18:51,420 --> 01:18:58,460
to Philophoe because they did such a great job and I was just impressed on what all was set

818
01:18:58,460 --> 01:19:03,940
up here so that was great. I wanted to also shout out to the Medina County Career Center

819
01:19:03,940 --> 01:19:11,080
culinary, well used to be called culinary arts, chef and restaurant culinary competition

820
01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:19,900
at the Lorraine Community College, Dominic Metara, who's a senior, Tucker Gainin, Brandon

821
01:19:19,900 --> 01:19:28,080
Marineous, and Natalia Bane, all did very well, and otherwise I did go to the portrait

822
01:19:28,080 --> 01:19:36,540
to practice. I really wish it was longer. I know those kids get tired and antsy, especially

823
01:19:36,540 --> 01:19:44,140
the little ones, but I really just like, Julie said, I really enjoy talking to the kids.

824
01:19:44,400 --> 01:19:49,260
I love to hear their stories. I love to hear them explain and that's one of my things that

825
01:19:49,260 --> 01:19:55,660
I like to enjoy going to each table and having each of them explain what they're doing.

826
01:19:56,160 --> 01:20:00,920
And I really wish more of the community would have been able to come out to see this.

827
01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:12,620
I know our first portraiture practice, we had a lot of people come and I didn't see as many this time and I'm sure there were several things going on as well at the high school.

828
01:20:13,720 --> 01:20:20,700
So I did again, I just wish it would last longer, but again, I did notice the kids were getting a little antsy pancy.

829
01:20:21,800 --> 01:20:30,100
I also was able to go see Hamlet in Macbeth on the first day that they had it in our

830
01:20:30,100 --> 01:20:36,840
English-led classes, and that was so neat to see, and the great lakes theater comes in.

831
01:20:37,300 --> 01:20:44,220
We have worked with them, and they really get the kids very interested in this.

832
01:20:44,220 --> 01:20:49,860
I wish I had it when I was back in school because I'm sorry, but Macbeth and

833
01:20:51,100 --> 01:20:57,960
Hamlet just did not excite me at all and I really, while I was watching him, like, now I understand.

834
01:20:59,140 --> 01:21:03,100
So this is such a great thing that we have bringing in.

835
01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:04,860
So I appreciate that.

836
01:21:05,840 --> 01:21:07,580
All right, moving on.

837
01:21:07,920 --> 01:21:10,020
My pad is not doing that.

838
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:11,080
All right.

839
01:21:11,600 --> 01:21:13,120
Do we have any public comment?

840
01:21:13,560 --> 01:21:14,940
I am seeing a no.

841
01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:22,080
anybody. Nope we do have somebody that would like to come up. So I'm going to read

842
01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:26,420
this off while you come up. So community members wishing to address the board are

01:22:07,950 --> 01:22:10,610
Thank you all be quick. Ken Dorsey with the Medina

852
01:22:10,610 --> 01:22:14,630
Athletic boosters we spoke the last meeting. I just want to let you know it's kind of a historic

853
01:22:14,630 --> 01:22:20,210
days we talked about with wrestling, the meteor and we also have some history happening as well

854
01:22:20,210 --> 01:22:25,170
in spring sports. So we're starting girls flag football. I think many of you know about that.

855
01:22:25,330 --> 01:22:29,930
They approached us the last meeting we had and they asked for a donation. Obviously

856
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:43,220
There are a starter sport. If budget is only so much, and so they needed some help of transportation. I just would like to let everyone know that we're actually donating $1,800 to cover their transportation for this year. Just to get them off the ground.

857
01:22:43,720 --> 01:22:49,960
It's a very exciting time. There's a lot of ladies that are going to be playing football. The NFL is very involved with this, and we certainly want to show the support.

858
01:22:50,400 --> 01:22:58,540
From the support that we gave, there's another group, and I'm not going to say who that is, that also gave a donation, that will cover all their expenses for this year.

859
01:22:58,540 --> 01:23:03,340
I just want to report that, let everybody know about that, but thanks for all your support, and I'll go

860
01:23:04,200 --> 01:23:04,680
Bees.

861
01:23:05,360 --> 01:23:05,880
Thank you.

862
01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:11,240
All right, moving on, there's an anybody else, right?

863
01:23:12,480 --> 01:23:14,960
All right, moving on, the Treasures Financial Report?

864
01:23:15,460 --> 01:23:17,120
Yes, if it plays the board.

865
01:23:20,580 --> 01:23:21,460
Oh, thank you.

866
01:23:21,680 --> 01:23:29,000
If it plays the board, I wish that the, it's my recommendation, the board approve items

867
01:23:32,600 --> 01:23:33,240
Do

868
01:23:37,020 --> 01:23:40,980
we have a motion to accept items G1 and G2?

869
01:23:41,880 --> 01:23:44,080
I'll make a motion to approve items G1 and 2.

870
01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:46,080
Anybody second?

871
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:48,200
I'll second.

872
01:23:48,720 --> 01:23:50,440
Thank you, Mr. West.

873
01:23:52,340 --> 01:23:53,080
Any questions?

874
01:23:57,120 --> 01:23:58,100
You may do real call.

875
01:23:59,160 --> 01:23:59,540
Mr. Really?

876
01:24:01,520 --> 01:24:01,960
Mr. West?

877
01:24:02,640 --> 01:24:03,540
Yes, Mr. Herr.

878
01:24:04,080 --> 01:24:04,320
Aye.

879
01:24:04,320 --> 01:24:05,020
Mr. Clerk.

880
01:24:05,420 --> 01:24:06,360
Mr. Mayor.

881
01:24:06,900 --> 01:24:06,980
I.

882
01:24:07,320 --> 01:24:08,320
Thank you.

883
01:24:09,100 --> 01:24:09,380
All right.

884
01:24:09,620 --> 01:24:10,660
Taxion items, Superintendent.

885
01:24:13,080 --> 01:24:20,480
Is recommended that the Board of Education approve action items H1 through H6 as presented

886
01:24:20,480 --> 01:24:22,620
in the consent agenda?

887
01:24:23,420 --> 01:24:25,640
A couple things I want to point out in these items.

888
01:24:25,780 --> 01:24:31,400
I want to thank the droolies for their donation to Blake to support students and student programming.

889
01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:41,860
Also, we have a resolution for the Ohio School Council.

890
01:24:42,020 --> 01:24:47,740
It's a consortium that we participate in in an effort to reduce our costs by collaborating

891
01:24:47,740 --> 01:24:52,560
with other districts across the state to give us purchasing power.

892
01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:57,300
And last but not least, I'm going to ask Brittany to stand.

893
01:24:57,300 --> 01:25:11,960
Brittany is on our agenda twice tonight both for a resignation as associate principal at Medina High School where she served for the last three years.

894
01:25:12,840 --> 01:25:21,800
She is also on the agenda as a recommendation to be the new principal at AI Root Middle School.

895
01:25:21,800 --> 01:25:33,700
I was just in a meeting with her this afternoon for the board meeting, and she introduced herself as the interim route principle, and I told her, hopefully following Board approval tonight.

896
01:25:34,220 --> 01:25:38,060
She will no longer need to say that. She can present herself as the principle.

897
01:25:39,280 --> 01:25:42,840
I'm really proud of Brittany in the work that she's done this school year.

898
01:25:42,840 --> 01:25:51,220
I asked her to go into a difficult situation, taking over a building as a new head principal.

899
01:25:51,980 --> 01:25:59,000
After the school year has already started and she has just done an outstanding job in working with the root staff,

900
01:25:59,140 --> 01:26:04,640
getting to know the root staff and moving them forward with district and building initiatives.

901
01:26:04,640 --> 01:26:11,200
as Dr. Qualic and I had the opportunity to go over to Roots last week and present her

902
01:26:11,200 --> 01:26:16,440
recommendation that we would be providing to the board and they gave her an ovation.

903
01:26:17,240 --> 01:26:22,080
And I think that speaks volumes to her leadership, especially because she's been doing

904
01:26:22,080 --> 01:26:26,400
difficult work there. It hasn't been just getting to know people. It truly has been moving

905
01:26:26,400 --> 01:26:28,460
the building forward. Thank you.

906
01:26:35,530 --> 01:26:42,650
and another Ovation. Wonderful. All right. Do we have a motion to accept

907
01:26:42,650 --> 01:26:46,710
Superintendent Action items one through six? I'll make that motion to accept

908
01:26:46,710 --> 01:26:52,770
Superintendent Action items H1 through H6. I'll second. Thank you, Mr. West and

909
01:26:52,770 --> 01:26:58,770
Ms. Pritcher. Any questions comments? Yeah, I just want to make a couple

910
01:26:58,770 --> 01:27:07,170
comments because I know these people on the retirements, Cindy Bishop who's leaving Ralph

911
01:27:07,170 --> 01:27:13,890
White, I believe she started at Blake. I remember when she and her family moved in to

912
01:27:13,890 --> 01:27:21,050
the district. I had her two boys on the golf team and her middle boy went on to play at Cleveland

913
01:27:21,050 --> 01:27:27,870
State. I think she's retiring because she has so many grandchildren to take care of and

914
01:27:27,870 --> 01:27:34,790
visit Rob Thompson at the high school, language arts teacher.

915
01:27:35,250 --> 01:27:38,230
I think he's known as Mr. Flanel over at the high school,

916
01:27:38,450 --> 01:27:41,430
but he will be missed, he's taught in many countries

917
01:27:41,430 --> 01:27:45,030
in many states, and he brings a interesting perspective.

918
01:27:45,870 --> 01:27:50,430
And then Jill Gordon, who is at Eliza Northrup now,

919
01:27:50,450 --> 01:27:55,130
and was at Garfield for a long time, as an intervention specialist,

920
01:27:55,130 --> 01:28:02,010
I had Jill on school, I had her son on the golf team, and she will definitely be missed.

921
01:28:02,750 --> 01:28:09,990
Just I was standing family and real credit to the Medina City school system.

922
01:28:10,310 --> 01:28:11,110
That's it.

923
01:28:16,300 --> 01:28:17,540
Mr. Chambers.

924
01:28:18,240 --> 01:28:18,700
Mr. West.

925
01:28:19,440 --> 01:28:19,600
Yes.

926
01:28:19,900 --> 01:28:20,340
Mr. Patrick.

927
01:28:20,680 --> 01:28:20,860
Hi.

928
01:28:21,160 --> 01:28:21,660
Mr. Really?

929
01:28:22,120 --> 01:28:22,340
Hi.

930
01:28:22,600 --> 01:28:23,040
Mr. Here.

931
01:28:23,460 --> 01:28:24,200
Hi. Thank you.

932
01:28:30,480 --> 01:28:33,380
We will be moving into executive session

933
01:28:33,380 --> 01:28:40,040
to consider the appointment, the employment, or compensation of a public employee or official.

934
01:28:41,180 --> 01:28:48,180
We will also be discussing the preparation for or connecting or reviewing negotiations

935
01:28:48,180 --> 01:28:50,540
or bargaining sessions with employees.

936
01:28:51,920 --> 01:28:53,520
Do I have somebody to move?

937
01:28:53,800 --> 01:28:55,120
First go to executive session.

938
01:28:56,580 --> 01:28:57,180
I'll second.

939
01:28:57,960 --> 01:29:00,220
Thank you, Mr. West and Mr. Richard.

940
01:29:07,210 --> 01:29:08,210
Mr. Chambers.

941
01:29:08,730 --> 01:29:14,270
Mr. West, Mr. Patrick, Mr. Rally, Mr. Hare, I, Mr. Hare, I, Mr. Smyr.

942
01:29:14,470 --> 01:29:15,350
I, thank you.

943
01:29:15,470 --> 01:29:17,450
Thank you, everybody, and have a wonderful night.
