IF YOU'LL STAND FOR OUR PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.[1. CALL TO ORDER]
WELL, GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED BOARD MEETING.A MAKE UP OF OUR MEETING FROM A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.
[2. 2022-2023 BOARD OF EDUCATION CALENDAR (President Webster)]
FIRST UP IS OUR BOARD OF EDUCATION CALENDAR.AND WE ARE HOPING THAT OUR BOARD MEMBERS HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO REVIEW THE DATES CALENDAR FOR THE ENSUING YEAR 22-23. AND ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME ON THE CALENDAR, ON THE DATES? I DID SEE THAT. I DID SEE THAT.
I THINK I THINK MRS. KELLEY'S QUESTION WAS COULD WE MOVE THE BOARD MEETING AROUND? I THINK THAT WAS YOUR QUESTION.
WHAT WAS THE REASON FOR THE REQUEST? DID LAST FALL BREAK AND JUST BE VIRTUAL.
BUT THAT WOULD BE UP TO YEAH, I THINK IT'D PROBABLY BE BETTER TO GO AHEAD AND LEAVE IT.
AND I MEAN BECAUSE THIS TIME, THE TIME THAT ALL OF US ARE GOING TO MISS A MEETING.
SO I DON'T THINK THAT THAT'S ADVERSELY NECESSARILY.
AND PLUS, I THINK THAT'S THE DATE THAT WE ARE TO ADOPT THE BUDGET, WHICH WE COULD MOVE.
BUT THE MEETING BEFORE IS A PUBLIC HEARING.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF BECAUSE OF TIMING, WE WOULD NEED TO CONTINUE ON THAT DATE AND I WOULD THINK WE SHOULD SINCE IT'S TO APPROVE THE BUDGET. AND IF YOU'RE GOOD WITH VIRTUAL . I WAS ABLE TO BECAUSE YOU COULD SEE ME, BUT I DON'T KNOW.
THAT'S THE OTHER REASON I DIDN'T WANT TO MISS IT.
BUT I DON'T THINK . SHE TAKES HER FALL BREAK.
BUT RIGHT NOW I WOULD SAY LET'S JUST KEEP IT AS IT IS.
AND THEN IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO DISCUSS FURTHER, PROBABLY.
ANYBODY ELSE ON THE ON THE ON THE DATES FOR OUR CALENDAR.
I MOVE THAT WE ADOPT THE 2022-2023 BOARD OF EDUCATION CALENDAR AS PRESENTED.
MOVED AND SECOND THAT WE ADOPT OUR 22-23 SCHOOL YEAR CALENDAR AS PRESENTED.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE, AYE.
NEXT UP IS FOR THE GOOD OF THE CAUSE WHERE WE GIVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR PATRONS TO SPEAK 3 MINUTES FOR THE GOOD OF THE CAUSE.
PLEASE IDENTIFY YOURSELF AND YOU CAN STEP UP AT THIS TIME IF WE HAVE IT.
ANYONE? ANY ONE OF OUR PATRONS FOR THE GOOD OF THE CAUSE.
ALL RIGHT. NO GOOD OF THE CAUSE THEN WE WE MOVE ON.
[4. SPOTLIGHT ON PIKE]
WE MOVE ON. NEXT, SPOTLIGHT ON PIKE, SARAH DORSEY.GOOD EVENING. IT'S WONDERFUL TO SEE YOU ALL.
[00:05:02]
ON SATURDAY, THE ORTHO INDIE FOUNDATION YMCA HOSTED THEIR ANNUAL BACK TO SCHOOL FEST AT CENTRAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.WE ALSO HOSTED A BOOTH AT THE INDIANA BLACK EXPO.
ALL OF OUR BOOTH VOLUNTEERS REPORTED HAVING POSITIVE INTERACTIONS WITH VISITORS.
PEOPLE WOULD COME UP AND SAY, I WENT TO PIKE, MY GRANDPARENTS WENT TO PIKE, OR ASK ABOUT HOW THEY CAN BE PART OF OUR PIKE FAMILY, EITHER WITH THEIR CHILDREN BEING STUDENTS HERE OR AS EDUCATORS OR STAFF MEMBERS.
SO IT WAS A REALLY NICE EXPERIENCE TO BE THERE.
SO, MS. DORSEY, I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO SEE OR EVEN EITHER RUNNING TO THE BOOTH THERE AT PIKE.
CAN YOU JUST KIND OF GIVE US A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT WAS WHAT WAS OFFERED IN THE BOOTH? YES. SO WE TOOK I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE SEEN IT, OUR BIG STEP AND REPEAT WITH THE HUGE PIKE LOGO.
WE HAD OUR PIKE TABLECLOTH OVER THE BOOTH.
WE HAD A COUPLE OF CARDSTOCK GIVEAWAYS.
ONE CELEBRATED OUR CLASS OF 2022 AND ALL OF THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS.
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY FOR POSITIVITY FOR PIKE, ABSOLUTELY.
THANK YOU YES. SO THE DID YOU KEEP TRACK OF THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT YOU INTERACT WITH AND COLLECT ANY INFORMATION ON THEM? WE DID. AND SO MR. PARQUET HAD HIS CARD THERE.
AND THEN WE ALSO HAD THE CARD FOR DR.
SOME PEOPLE GAVE US THEIR INFORMATION AND ASKED FOR US TO CONTACT THEM.
AND IN OTHER CASES WE HAD A QR CODE ON THE REGISTRATION CARD FOR EMPLOYMENT.
SO THEY WOULD SCAN THE QR CODE AND THAT WOULD TAKE THEM RIGHT TO OUR APPLICATIONS AND APPLE TRACK.
AND THEN SO SO THE, THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE BOOTH WAS FOR EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES.
I THINK SO. AND JUST TO PROMOTE THE GREAT THINGS HAPPENING IN PIKE AND BE A PRESENCE THERE.
WE, THERE'S A SECTION THIS YEAR AT LEAST THERE WAS A SECTION AND IN THE PAST THERE WHERE WE HAD SCHOOL DISTRICTS REPRESENTED, WE WERE NEXT TO LAWRENCE, I KNOW IPS AND MORE AND MORE ALSO THERE HSC WAS THERE CATHEDRAL WAS ACROSS FROM US AND THEN THERE WERE ALSO SEVERAL COLLEGES IN THE AREA.
SO IT WAS GREAT TO KIND OF STAND OUT.
AND OUR BOOTH DID STAND OUT, I THINK, BECAUSE OF THE LARGE BACKDROP.
SO PEOPLE WOULD SEE IT AND COME OVER AND TALK WITH US.
AND IN TERMS OF SPOTLIGHTING THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE HAVE HERE, WHAT WERE THOSE OPPORTUNITIES? WHAT DID THAT LOOK LIKE? SO WE TALKED ABOUT THE IA POSITIONS.
WE TALKED ABOUT TEACHING POSITIONS.
WE TALKED ABOUT BUS MONITOR POSITIONS AND WE TALKED ABOUT ON THE FLIER ACTUALLY HAD LIKE JUST KIND OF YOU COULD BE AN IT YOU COULD DO GROUND JUST REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU DO.
WE MAY HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU, SO PLEASE TALK TO US ABOUT THAT.
AND WHEN WE WERE TALKING TO PEOPLE, THERE WERE PEOPLE SOMETIMES THAT LIVED OUTSIDE OF THE DISTRICT AND WE WOULD SAY, YOU KNOW, UNFORTUNATELY, WE DON'T TAKE STUDENTS THAT LIVE OUT OF BOUNDARIES NOW. HOWEVER, IF YOU'RE EMPLOYED IN PIKE, YOUR STUDENTS CAN OFTEN ATTEND PIKE TOWNSHIP.
WE WERE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT INSURANCE, WE WERE ABLE TO TALK UP OUR RECENT WAGE INCREASES.
SO IT WAS JUST A REALLY POSITIVE EXPERIENCE.
THAT WAY, IF YOU'RE IN THE COMMUNITY, YOU WANT TO SHARE SOME OF THOSE AS WELL, YOU CAN.
AND IF WE IF WE GET ANY HITS FROM ANY, YOU KNOW, ANY EMPLOYMENT FROM IT.
SO THAT'S SOMETHING I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR.
SO I WENT AROUND THERE AND I SAW SARAH AND I ALSO SAW ERIC WALKING THROUGH.
SARAH WOULDN'T LET ME UNTIL I GOT ALL THE STUFF THAT WAS ON THE TABLE.
AND SO I APPRECIATE THAT BECAUSE I USE THAT BECAUSE I'M ALWAYS ON THE LOOKOUT FOR, FOR TALENT.
AND SO I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH ESPECIALLY THE BACKDROP EVEN STUCK OUT.
IN THE PAST I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE THE OTHER SCHOOLS.
SO WHEN YOU SAY A CATHEDRAL, I DIDN'T NOTICE THEM, YOU KNOW, DESPITE BEING SO BIG.
SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I THINK YOU GUYS DID A GREAT JOB.
SO MAYBE MAYBE I'VE MISSED PIKE IN THE PAST, AND I DON'T I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE WE HAVE BEEN DOWN THERE, BUT HAVE WE HAVE WE DONE THIS IN THE PAST? WE HAVEN'T. NOT FOR A FEW YEARS.
[00:10:04]
GREAT. SO WE I MEAN, PROBABLY MR. ANDERSON, BECAUSE WE DIDN'T SEE IT, BUT I THINK HE PROBABLY SPEAK FOR ALL OF US WITH HIS ENERGY.WERE YOU PIKE PROUD? OH, YEAH, THAT'S THAT'S THE FIRST THING YOU SEE.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE LOOKING AT THE KINGS ISLAND TOWER, BIG PIKE BACKDROP.
SO, YES, IT WAS A PROUD MOMENT.
I'M SORRY. GO AHEAD. JUST A QUICK QUESTION.
SO DID WE HIGHLIGHT ANY OF OUR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENTS AND MAYBE WE CAN DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN THE FUTURE, MAYBE EVEN HAVE A COUPLE OF GRADS THERE? WE YOUNG WAS GETTING READY TO MENTION.
SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT KIND OF JUST CONTINUING TO STEP IT UP TO THE NEXT LEVEL SOME OF THOSE FOR THOSE EXHIBITS.
JUST FOR ELECTRICITY IS LIKE $500.
YEAH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THAT UPDATE.
IT JUST MAKES US FEEL GOOD THAT THAT WE GET THAT TYPE OF POSITIVE ENERGY OUT THERE IN OUR COMMUNITY.
ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP IS REPORTS TO THE BOARD DR.
[5. REPORT TO THE BOARD]
YOUNG FOR THE FIRST READING HERE.THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.
TONIGHT, I BRING TO YOU FOR FIRST READING A FEW POLICIES 142.3, VACANCIES.
POLICY 167.3 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AT BOARD MEETINGS.
THIS BYLAW HAS BEEN REVISED TO INCORPORATE THE CHANGES REQUIRED BY SENATE AND [INAUDIBLE] ACT 83 AND HOUSE [INAUDIBLE] ACT 1130, WHICH REQUIRE THE SCHOOL BOARD TO PROVIDE FOR ORAL PUBLIC COMMENT AT MOST REGULAR BOARD MEETINGS.
1216, 3216, AND 4216 ARE IN REGARDS TO DRESS AND GROOMING.
ACTUALLY 1216 FOR PIKE IS A NEW POLICY.
THE OTHERS ARE REVISED, BUT THE CHANGES HAVE BEEN ADDED TO ADDRESS REALLY NON DISCRIMINATION IN REGARDS TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THOSE DRESS EXPECTATIONS BYLAW.
2221 MANDATORY CURRICULUM REVISIONS THERE WERE MADE TO REFLECT CHANGES IN THE STATUTE LANGUAGE, INCLUDING REPLACING TERMS SUCH AS AIDS WITH HIV AND OTHER NEW COURSE REQUIREMENTS.
2370.02 FLEX PROGRAM, THAT POLICY SO YOU KNOW, HAS BEEN REVISED TO REFLECT CHANGES JUST IN TERMINOLOGY AND TERMINOLOGY, SUCH AS REPLACING THE TERM I STEP PLUS AND CHANGING THE GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS UNDER STATE LAW. 2600 SCHOOL ACCOUNTABILITY WHICH IS A TECHNICAL CHANGE SO VERY MINOR CHANGE THERE AGAIN REPLACING I STEP PLUS WITH STATE MANDATORY TESTING PROGRAM.
5340.01 STUDENT CONCUSSION AND SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST.
AGAIN, THAT'S JUST A TECHNICAL ISSUE.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENT, 5460 REVISED HAS TO DO WITH THE REVISIONS TO THE REVISED PATHWAYS REQUIREMENT FOR THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 2023.
AND THEN 8450.01 PROTECTIVE FACIAL COVERINGS THAT WAS REVISIONS MADE FOR SPECIAL NEEDS.
AND THEN ALSO IT REFLECTS CHANGES IN CDC GUIDELINES.
THE POLICY COMMITTEE DID MEET WE ALSO THAT INCLUDED A REPRESENTATIVE FROM [INAUDIBLE] DR.
[INAUDIBLE]. AND I'M JUST ASKING THAT IF YOU WOULD TAKE A LOOK OVER THE POLICIES OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW OF ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS YOU HAVE AND THEN I'LL COME BACK AND REQUEST APPROVAL.
[00:15:07]
WAS THAT THE ONE. 1216 SO THE OTHER TWO ARE ALREADY IN PLACE.1216 REALLY HAS TO DO WITH ADMINISTRATORS.
SO THAT WASN'T IN PLACE, BUT WE STILL HAVE THOSE SAME EXPECTATIONS FOR ADMINISTRATION.
SO THAT'S WHY THAT ONE IS NEW.
I JUST HAD A QUICK QUESTION JUST TO NOTE, YOU DO A REALLY GOOD JOB WITH THE POLICY AND OVERSIGHT.
YOU'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR A WHILE.
IN YOUR NEW ROLE, ARE YOU GOING TO PASS THAT OFF TO SOMEBODY? OH, YEAH. OKAY. I WAS JUST WONDERING, SO YOU KNOW, AND SO DR.
BISHOP AND I SAID, WELL, YOU KNOW, LET'S WORK TOGETHER.
BUT DO YOU WANT TO? [INAUDIBLE] YOU'RE OKAY.
BUT I'M WORKING ALONGSIDE WITH DR.
BISHOP, SO SHE'LL DO A SHE'LL TAKE IT TO ANOTHER LEVEL.
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU DR.
YOUNG. YEAH. NEXT UP IS OUR ACTION ITEMS.
[6. ACTION ITEMS]
AND FIRST IS OUR MINUTES OF MOTION TO APPROVE OUR LAST BOARD MEETING JUNE 23RD.I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES FROM THE JUNE 23RD MEETING, SECOND.
IT'S BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED THAT WE APPROVE OUR LAST JUNE 23RD REGULAR BOARD MEETING MINUTES.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME? NO QUESTIONS. ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE, AYE.
APPROVAL OF OUR VIRTUAL PROGRAMING, DR.
YOUNG. GOOD EVENING AGAIN, MR. PRESIDENT. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.
AND AS A RESULT, THE STATE OF INDIANA HAS NOW REQUIRED THAT IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN 100 STUDENTS IN A VIRTUAL PROGRAM AND SOME OTHER GUIDELINES, AS YOU CAN SEE, THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE A SEPARATE VIRTUAL SCHOOL.
LOOKING AT THIS UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR BASED ON INTEREST FROM FAMILIES, BUT ALSO BASED ON THE DATA THAT WE HAVE SEEN, OUR STUDENTS JUST DO BETTER IN PERSON. SO IT IS NOT OUR PLAN TO HAVE MORE THAN 100 STUDENTS IN A IN VIRTUAL LEARNING THIS YEAR.
SO WE DON'T MEET THAT THRESHOLD.
BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THE STATE DOES SAY IS THAT YOU HAVE TO BECAUSE WE'VE ALL BEEN MORE THAN 100, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A PLAN ON HOW YOU'RE GOING TO BE UNDER 100, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO BE LESS THAN THAT NUMBER? AND SO WHAT WE HAVE LOOKED AT IS ONE, AGAIN, BASED ON INTEREST FROM FAMILIES AND WHAT WE'RE SEEING WITH DATA, NOT HAVING THE ELEMENTARY PROGRAM, NOT HAVING THE MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAM, WE WILL, BASED ON NEED, PROBABLY HAVE SOME HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.
WE ALSO ALWAYS RESERVE THE RIGHT TO SHIFT BACK AS NEEDED.
SO THOSE ARE THE ITEMS THAT WE HAVE IN OUR PLAN.
AND I'M JUST ASKING FOR YOUR APPROVAL AS PRESENTED.
I MOVE TO APPROVE THE VIRTUAL PROGRAMING PLAN, SECOND.
IT'S BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED THAT WE APPROVE OUR VIRTUAL PROGRAMING PLAN AS PRESENTED BY DR.
YOUNG. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? I HAVE A QUESTION.
ABSOLUTELY. BUT HOW WOULD THAT ACTUALLY COME TO FRUITION? BECAUSE AS I UNDERSTOOD, THERE WAS A LOT OF EFFORT TO PUT IN PLACE A VIRTUAL OR ROBUST VIRTUAL PROGRAM.
SO WOULD WE HAVE TEACHERS DEDICATED TO THOSE STUDENTS? SO WE'VE ACTUALLY [INAUDIBLE] TALK A LITTLE ABOUT.
BUT I'LL LET DR. BISHOP TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW WE CAN MEET THAT NEED.
THEY OFFER A FULL TIME OPPORTUNITY WHERE A STUDENT FOLLOWS A TYPICAL SCHEDULE, BUT IT IS A VIRTUAL.
IN ESSENCE, THE STUDENTS ARE STILL OURS.
WE JUST PAY INDIANA ONLINE FOR THEIR IN ESSENCE COURSES.
SO IT'S KIND OF LIKE A CONTRACTOR SITUATION.
REAL QUICK. WHAT ABOUT THOSE FOR UNDER GRADE FIVE?
[00:20:02]
THEY ONLY GO THROUGH GRADE FIVE.SO IF A PARENT WANTED A VIRTUAL OPTION, WE WOULD NEED TO WORK WITH THEM BASED ON WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCES ARE, BECAUSE AS OF NOW, INDIANA ONLINE ONLY WORKS DOWN THROUGH GRADE FIVE.
WE'RE WE GOING TO PURSUE OPTIONS MAYBE TO HAVE THAT? I'M NOT CERTAIN THAT WE ARE GOING TO FIND SOMEONE OR A COMPANY THAT WORKS WITH ANYONE AT THAT AGE LEVEL, BUT WE CERTAINLY CAN INVESTIGATE. OKAY.
I'D APPRECIATE IT IF WE COULD JUST AT LEAST SEE IF THERE ARE OPTIONS AND THEN CLEARLY COMMUNICATE TO FAMILIES THAT, HEY, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT ONLY FOR FIVE GRADES, FIVE AND UP.
SO PEOPLE ARE AWARE THAT IF WE CAN'T OFFER IT, WE JUST CAN'T.
RIGHT. AND I GUESS THE OTHER THING I WOULD THINK ABOUT IS A LEGAL SPACE IN WHICH WE HAVE BEEN PROVIDING VIRTUAL SERVICES AND NOW A PARENT IS TOLD WE WILL NO LONGER PROVIDE THAT.
AND WHAT TYPE OF RIGHTS THAT THEY MAY HAVE OR LACK OF RIGHTS THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO ENTICE US OR MAKE US IMPLEMENT SOME TYPE OF PROGRAMING FOR THEIR STUDENTS. I KNOW A LOT OF THOSE TIMES THOSE ARE STUDENTS WHO HAVE LIKE SPECIAL NEEDS OR THINGS LIKE THAT.
BUT I'M JUST WONDERING, COULD THOSE COULD ANY TYPE OF SCENARIO LIKE THAT BE PRESENTED OR COME ABOUT? IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IT'S A DISTRICT'S CHOICE DECISION TO PROVIDE VIRTUAL.
BUT AGAIN, I DON'T WANT TO SAY BENIGNLY THAT WE WON'T.
WE'LL BE FLEXIBLE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR KIDS.
YEAH. AND THE ONLY REASON I SAY THAT IS, IS WHEN YOU OPEN UP SOMETHING AND HAVE IT ONE TIME PEOPLE, EVEN IF IT'S JUST TWO PEOPLE MAY SAY, WELL, THEY DID IT BEFORE, WHY CAN'T THEY DO IT AGAIN? SO THAT'S I'M JUST WONDERING IF IF THERE WERE ANY GRAY AREAS THAT MIGHT PUT US IN AND IF THERE ARE OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND HOW THEY MIGHT BE HANDLING THE SITUATION ALSO. SO OUR NEIGHBORING I WILL SPEAK TO MARION COUNTY.
SO MOST HAVE HAVE NOT HAD VIRTUAL.
THEY DIDN'T HAVE IT LAST YEAR.
YES, MA'AM. THERE IS ONE NEIGHBORING TOWNSHIP THAT WENT ALL IN ON VIRTUAL.
THEY ARE FULLY VESTED IN THAT PROGRAMING.
BUT THE MAJORITY OF OUR MARION COUNTY FAMILY DID NOT OFFER VIRTUAL AS OF LAST YEAR.
GOOD TO KNOW. AND FOR THE MOST PART, LOOK, WE'RE JUST ASKING QUESTIONS BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW.
ABSOLUTELY. YEAH, YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
WE DON'T KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? [INAUDIBLE] SAY THAT AGAIN, MS. KELLEY [INAUDIBLE] LAST TO HOLD ON TO THAT SPACE IN MANY OF THE OTHER SCHOOLS DISCONTINUED? I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT JUST TO COMMUNICATE.
IF WE'RE NOT OFFERING IT, JUST SET THAT EXPECTATION FOR EVERYONE CONCERNS? QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. [INAUDIBLE] IN THE MIDDLE OF A MOTION.
NEXT UP, WE HAVE ACTUALLY ITEM C AND D, MR. ERIC PARQUET AT THIS TIME.
GOOD EVENING, MR. PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD, DR.
YOUNG. I REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL OF ITEM C AND D AS PRESENTED.
I MOVE TO APPROVE THE HUMAN RESOURCE REPORT AS PRESENTED.
SECOND, IT'S BEEN MORE THAN SECOND THAT WE APPROVE BOTH ITEM C AND D.
HUMAN RESOURCE REPORT AND PIKE BUTLER COLLABORATION AGREEMENT AS PRESENTED BY MR. ERIC PARQUET.
AT THIS TIME ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON ITEMS C OR D? FOR D, WHO SPEARHEADED THE COLLABORATION WITH BUTLER? WE'VE HAD A COLLABORATION WITH BUTLER AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER.
[00:25:02]
SO IN THE RESIDENCY MODEL, IF WE HAVE A TEACHER THAT'S DOING THAT STUDENT TEACHING AND WE HAPPEN TO HAVE ANOTHER TEACHER WHO GOES ON A MATERNITY LEAVE OR SICK LEAVE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THAT BUTLER TEACHER CAN CAN CONTINUE PROVIDING INSTRUCTION TO OUR KIDS WITH ANOTHER PARTNER, TEACHER, DEPARTMENT CHAIR OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.THAT'S, THAT'S MONITORING THAT TEACHER.
AND SO I JUST WONDER, LIKE, I REALLY LIKE WHAT YOU GUYS CREATED HERE [INAUDIBLE].
AND AS WE ALL KNOW, SHE'S BEEN A HUGE CHAMPION OF THE ROBOTICS TEAM.
SO THAT'S GOING TO BE BIG SHOES TO FILL.
AND AS WE ALL KNOW, SHE IS THE WIFE OF OUR FORMER BOARD MEMBER, ERIC HUFFINE.
SO JUST WANT TO WISH HER WELL.
IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS A DIFFICULT DECISION, BUT A GOOD ONE FOR HER.
AND I KNOW SHE WILL STAY BUSY IN HER NEXT PHASE.
OK. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON ITEM C OR D? ID NOT. OH, I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY.
I'M SORRY, MS. FORD, GO AHEAD.
SO I'M GOING TO ASK ABOUT DATA, THE NUMBERS.
SO PREVIOUSLY WE HAD THIS COLLABORATION WITH BUTLER.
IN THE PAST, JUST A BALLPARK OF HOW MANY TEACHERS WE'VE ENTICED TO COME AND WORK FOR US FROM BUTLER.
YEAH MR. INMAN ACTUALLY BROUGHT THAT UP IN THE IN A MEETING WE HAD TODAY.
HE'S LIKE, HE WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITHOUT THAT PARTNERSHIP WE HAVE.
SO IT'S GREAT THAT WE DO IT AND IT'S GREAT THAT WE PARTNER WITH OTHER UNIVERSITIES TO BRING STUDENT TEACHERS INTO OUR DISTRICT BECAUSE THAT'S HOW WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO SEE THE BEST IN RECRUIT THEM TO COME IN THAT WAY.
SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF STUDENT TEACHERS WITH US.
YEAH. I WAS ACTUALLY READING AN ARTICLE ABOUT A DISTRICT I CAN'T REMEMBER MAYBE LAFAYETTE, WHO WERE OFFERING SOME TYPE OF TUITION STIPEND OR OFFSET [INAUDIBLE] YOU KNOW, FOR POTENTIAL EDUCATORS FROM LOCAL UNIVERSITIES. SO, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE CAN DO IN THE FUTURE, BUT AS WE ARE FACED WITH THESE TEACHER SHORTAGES, WE MIGHT LOOK AT CREATIVE WAYS TO GET PEOPLE TO COME INTO THE DISTRICT.
WE'VE HAD A LOT OF CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT.
MATTER OF FACT, WHEN WE WRAP UP TODAY, I'LL KIND OF GIVE UP WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE RETREAT.
ANY OTHER QUESTION? CONCERNS? ALL RIGHT, THEN.
ALL IN FAVOR OF ACCEPTING ITEMS C AND D, MR. ERIC PARQUET SAY AYE, AYE.
THANK YOU, MR. PARQUET. THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT. NEXT UP IS MR. ITEM E STATE CHANGE CAREER CENTER COURTHOUSE.
MR. GREG NUNLEY. GOOD EVENING, MR. PRESIDENT. GOOD EVENING. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.
DR. YOUNG, I COME SEEKING YOUR APPROVAL OF THE ADDENDUM CAREER CENTER COURSE QUOTE AS PRESENTED.
I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE STATE CHANGE CAREER CENTER COURSE AND STANDARDS.
I SECOND. IT'S BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED THAT WE APPROVE ITEM E AS PRESENTED.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? NO QUESTIONS. ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE, AYE.
OPPOSED. THANK YOU, MR. NUNLEY. THANK YOU.
MS. LINDA SEARLES. GOOD EVENING, MR. PRESIDENT. DR.
YOUNG, AT THIS TIME, I REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL OF ITEMS F, G, H, AND I AS PRESENTED.
THIS INCLUDES A RESOLUTION FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR 2022 MILEAGE REIMBURSEMENT RATE TO ALIGN IT WITH THE IRS RATE DECLARATION OF SURPLUS TECHNOLOGY EQUIPMENT, TEN CONTRACTS AND ONE VERY GENEROUS DONATION.
AND I REQUEST YOUR APPROVAL AS PRESENTED.
CAN WE GET A MOTION TO ACCEPT? I MOVE WE APPROVE ACTION ITEMS F, G, H, AND I AS PRESENTED.
MOVED AND SECOND THAT WE DO APPROVE ITEMS F, H, ITEMS, F, G, H AND I AS PRESENTED BY MRS. LINDA SEARLES. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON EITHER F, G, H OR I ITEMS?
[00:30:03]
NOT SO MUCH A QUESTION, BUT A COMMENT.DEALING WITH THE STEM AND THE ROBOTICS AND ALL THAT GIVING THEM ADDITIONAL EXPOSURE.
AND THEN AS I WAS LOOKING AT THE.
SURPLUS. WE'VE GONE THROUGH A LOT OF MATERIAL, A LOT OF TECHNOLOGY DURING THIS TIME PERIOD.
MOVING TO THE ONE ON ONE AND KNOWING THE USEFUL LIFE OF OUR TECHNOLOGY AND CONTINUING TO MAKE SURE OUR STUDENTS HAVE THE YEAH, WE HAD A LOT OF TURNOVER WITH THAT.
I HAD A QUESTION ON THE MILEAGE, SO THAT WAS EFFECTIVE IN JANUARY.
YES. JULY. IT'S OUR CALENDAR YEAR.
YEAH. SO TYPICALLY WE HAVE PAST PRACTICE ALIGNED WITH THE IRS RATE WENT UP ABOUT $0.04 WAS $58.5 CENTS PRIOR. THANK YOU.
ANY OTHER QUESTION OR OTHER CONCERNS? OKAY. WE GO TO VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE, AYE.
OPPOSED. THANK YOU, MRS. SEARLES. THANK YOU. WE HAVE TONIGHT JUST BEFORE OUR BOARD ITEMS , WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE OUR SCOUT, I THINK I SEE HIM IN THE BACK BEHIND.
IF YOU WOULD JUST STAND SO WE CAN ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR PRESENCE TONIGHT.
THANK YOU. LET'S GIVE HIM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE.
[APPLAUSE] COULD YOU GIVE US YOUR NAME AND YOUR TROOP? TROOP 56. ALL RIGHT.
AND IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO SAY COMMENT WISE? NO [LAUGHTER] THANK YOU. AND WE HOPE THAT YOU'LL CONTINUE YOUR SERVICE TO OUR GREAT STATE AND COUNTRY.
YES, DR. YOUNG, HE DIDN'T HE DIDN'T INTRODUCE HIS MOM.
BUT THIS IS THE KIND IS ONE OF OUR PHENOMENAL TEACHERS AS WELL.
SO. ALL RIGHT, MOM, WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY? NO [LAUGHTER] THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT. ON TO BOARD MEMBER ITEMS.
[7. BOARD MEMBER ITEMS]
MS. FORD. YES.I JUST HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH A PIKE EMPLOYEE.
YOU ALL KNOW [INAUDIBLE] REYNOLDS, HER HUSBAND, SUDDENLY PASSED AWAY A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, AND SHE JUST SHARED WITH ME HOW PHENOMENAL THE STAFF AND COUNSELORS AND SOCIAL WORKERS HAVE BEEN TO HER AND HER FAMILY AND HOW SUPPORTIVE.
AND SHE JUST WANTED THE ADMINISTRATION AND EVERYBODY TO KNOW HOW GRATEFUL SHE IS AND HOW MUCH THE SYSTEM REALLY WORKS HERE AT PIKE FOR THE WAY THAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO WORK.
AND SHE KNOWS THAT IT WASN'T JUST BECAUSE SHE'S AN EMPLOYEE.
SHE KNOWS THAT THESE ARE WHAT THESE PEOPLE DO ALL THE TIME.
AND SO, YOU KNOW, SHE'S SHE'S MAKING IT.
SHE'S MAKING IT. BUT, YOU KNOW, SHE JUST WANTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT.
SO THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO SHARE TODAY.
MRS. RANDOLPH. NOTHING FOR ME.
ALL RIGHT, MR. ANDERSON. A COUPLE OF THINGS.
IT WAS A LOT OF OUR COMMUNITY COMMUNITY THAT WAS OUT THERE.
I SAW A LOT OF DIFFERENT BOOTHS.
SO I'M VERY APPRECIATIVE OF ALL THE STAFF AND EVERYONE WHO TOOK PART IN THAT.
ALSO, OUR GIRLS VOLLEYBALL, WE THEY HAD A MATCH OVER THE WEEKEND AS WELL AGAINST NORTH CENTRAL.
IT KIND OF LEFT US WITH A CLIFFHANGER.
THEY STOPPED. SO I GUESS THAT'S TO BE CONTINUED.
THANK YOU, MS. KELLEY. AGAIN, EXCITED AND PIKE PROUD.
LOOKING FORWARD TO NEW SCHOOL YEAR AND JUST COMING BACK IN AUGUST.
FULL FORCE AND READY TO GET BACK TO WORK.
[00:35:01]
THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. IT'S BEEN A BUSY DAY.SOME OF THE TOPICS WERE ACHIEVEMENTS, HOW WE'RE GOING TO MOVE THE NEEDLE.
WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT OUR NON-NEGOTIABLES.
I FIRMLY BELIEVE THE SOLUTION TO STAFFING SHORTAGES AND PIKE NOW WE'RE ALL FACING THIS, BUT HAVING RESPONSIBILITY FOR PIKE REALLY LIES WITHIN PIKE.
SO WE'RE GOING TO BE VERY INTENTIONAL ABOUT THAT.
AND THERE'S ONE GROUP I SHARED WITH THE TEAM THAT WE DID NOT HEAR FROM, AND THAT WAS OUR TEACHERS.
SO I'VE DIRECTED OUR PRINCIPALS AND ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS TO GET THEIR FEEDBACK THIS SEMESTER.
WE WENT AROUND AND WE DID INTRODUCTIONS.
WHAT A 22 YEAR OLD TEACHER SEES THAT WOULD BE ATTRACTIVE TO PIKE TO COME TO PIKE.
WE REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT FOR MANY OF US.
WHAT WOULD RETAIN SOME OF OUR TEACHERS? SO WE NEED TO HEAR FROM THEM.
SO THAT'S GOING TO BE PART OF BUT I'LL STILL SHARE WITH YOU ALL WHAT WE'VE CREATED.
AND ONE OF THE THINGS I TALKED ABOUT THIS MORNING IS THAT WHEN WE HEAR FROM THE TEACHERS, IT MAY BE NOTHING NEW, BUT IT MIGHT ALLOW US TO HONE DOWN, HONE IN ON SOME OF THE IDEAS WE HAVE, AND THAT MIGHT BE SOME OF THE AREAS OF FOCUS.
SO WE TALK, IT'S ALL INCLUSIVE.
I'LL MAKE SURE I SHARE THAT WITH YOU ALL.
THAT WAS STILL GOING ON WHEN I CAME BACK OVER HERE TO ASE.
SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE FOCUSED ON WERE ALL THE COMPONENTS, FOR EXAMPLE, THE STRATEGIC PLAN THAT HIT ON ATHLETICS AND TRAINING AND DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT AREAS. OTHER THAN THAT AS WELL.
I WOULD ALSO IN CLOSING, LIKE TO SHARE THAT THIS AFTERNOON I RECEIVED A TEXT MESSAGE FROM MR. [INAUDIBLE] FORMER EMPLOYEE FROM PIKE TOWNSHIP.
HE SHARED WITH ME THAT A PIKE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT, JOSH CHAPMAN, AS PART OF, HAS PARTICIPATED IN THE LIFT SUMMER YOUTH EXPERIENCE PROGRAM, FUNDED THROUGH REPUBLIC AIRWAYS.
SO THAT MEANS IT'S FREE TO OUR STUDENTS.
BUT TODAY HE FLEW HIS FIRST SOLO FLIGHT.
[INAUDIBLE] SO, ANYWAY, I WAS VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
THANK YOU. THAT'S IT? YES, SIR. JUST JUST SOMETHING FUNNY.
TODAY, ABOUT 1:00 I WAS TALKING TO MY GRANDSON.
HE'S A HE'S GOING TO THE FOURTH GRADE THIS YEAR.
MY SON SAID THIS IS WHAT HE DOES ALSO.
AND SO I TOLD HIM, I SAID, TREY, I SAID, YOU BETTER ENJOY IT.
I SAID, BECAUSE IN ABOUT A FEW WEEKS YOU'LL BE BACK TO SCHOOL.
AND HE LOOKED AND HE SAID AHH BUT I JUST IN THIS TIME THAT WE'RE IN.
WE'RE LIVING IN TIMES WHERE, I MEAN, Y'ALL SAW THE SENSELESS GREENWOOD SHOOTING.
GODSPEED ON YOUR ON YOUR NEW POSITION.
