[4. REPORTS TO THE BOARD]
THEN WE MOVE ON TO SPOTLIGHT ON PIKES HERE, DORSEY?>> GOOD EVENING. IT'S WONDERFUL TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN.
AS ALWAYS, WE HAVE A LOT OF WONDERFUL THINGS HAPPENING IN THE DISTRICT.
THIS EVENING, PIKE HIGH SCHOOL IS HOSTING THEIR 8TH GRADE COLLEGE READINESS NIGHT.
IT'S A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY FOR 8TH GRADERS AND THEIR PARENTS TO GET SOME REALLY GREAT INFORMATION ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITIES OFFERED AT PIKE HIGH SCHOOL TO START PLANNING FOR HIGH SCHOOL IN TERMS OF SCHEDULING AND ALSO THEIR COLLEGE CAREERS.
SO IF YOU KNOW ANY 8TH GRADERS OR FAMILIES THAT WERE NOT ABLE TO ATTEND TONIGHT, PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT THEY GET A HOLD OF THE HIGH SCHOOL SO THEY CAN GET THAT INFORMATION AS WELL BECAUSE IT'S REALLY HELPFUL FOR THEM TO KNOW ALL OF THE WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.
I WANTED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING THAT HOPEFULLY YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE WITHIN THE COMING DAYS, AT LEAST PART OF FOR YOURSELF.
[00:05:02]
THAT IS THE WONDERFUL MEN AND WOMEN AT OUR TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT.THIS YEAR DECIDED TO ORGANIZE A HOLIDAY DRIVE.
ONE OF OUR BUS MONITORS SUGGESTED IT AND THEY STARTED COLLECTING NON-PERISHABLES.
THEY WILL BE COLLECTING PERISHABLES TO DO MEALS AND HOLIDAY CELEBRATIONS FOR FAMILIES IN PIKE.
THEY STARTED OUT WITH THE GOAL OF FIVE FAMILIES.
THEY SHIFTED IT INTO A FRIENDLY COMPETITION, AND NOW IT IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
THEY ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO BLESS WAY MORE THAN FIVE FAMILIES IN PIKE TOWNSHIP.
IF YOU'VE EVER HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO A RIDE-ALONG ON ONE OF OUR SCHOOL BUSES.
IT'S A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE BECAUSE YOU GET TO SEE A DIFFERENT FAMILY RELATIONSHIP THAN YOU DO WHEN YOU VISIT THE SCHOOLS.
A LOT OF TIMES OUR FAMILIES ARE OUT THERE WAITING FOR THEIR KIDS TO COME HOME.
SO OUR BUS DRIVERS GET TO KNOW THEIR PARENTS AND SOMETIMES THE YOUNGER SIBLINGS.
THEY ARE DOING THINGS AS INDIVIDUALS, AMAZING THINGS TO LET OUR FAMILIES KNOW THAT THEY CARE ABOUT THEM AND THEIR CHILDREN.
THIS IS JUST A WAY TO KIND OF HIGHLIGHT WHAT THEY ARE DOING IN TOTALITY AND YOU WILL BE AMAZED.
THIS EVENING I ALSO HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND THE FAMILY LITERACY NIGHT AT CENTRAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
BASICALLY, THEY SET IT UP BASED ON A BOOK CALLED WHAT'S IN YOUR POCKET COLLECTING NATURE'S TREASURES.
THEY HAD A SERIES OF STATIONS THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL.
STUDENTS GOT TO DO THINGS LIKE THE KINDERGARTEN TEAM HELP THEM MAKE A BUTTERFLY.
THEY WERE ABLE TO ESTIMATE A COLLECTION.
THANKS TO THE 1ST GRADE TEAM, AND THEY TOOK A COLLECTION JAR HOME SO THEY CAN BEGIN THEIR OWN COLLECTION.
THEY LOOKED AT PATTERNS AND ROCKS IN 2ND GRADE.
THEY DID NATURE RUBBINGS IN 3RD GRADE.
ONCE THEY HAD ALL OF THEIR ACTIVITIES STAMPED, THEY CLASSIFIED ANIMALS, LOOKED AT FOSSILS AND PLANTS.
THEY MADE SNAIL ART, AND THEY LOOKED AT NATURE COLLECTION LIFE SKILLS.
IT WAS AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING EVENT AND IT WAS SO COOL HOW THEY INCORPORATED IT INTO THEIR READING NIGHT.
EVERY STUDENT LEFT WITH A BOOK OF THEIR CHOICE, AND WE'RE EXTREMELY PROUD OF THEM FOR PUTTING SOME THINGS ON CREDIBLE TOGETHER.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST, PLEASE BE REMINDED THAT TOMORROW AND SATURDAY, THE PIKE HIGH SCHOOL THEATER DEPARTMENT WILL PROBABLY PRESENT THE LITTLE MERMAID AT 7:00 PM IN OUR PIKE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER. [NOISE]
>> [INAUDIBLE] TO REPEAT THE AUTHOR OR WHAT'S IN [INAUDIBLE]
>> I'M SORRY. COULD YOU SAY THAT AGAIN?
>> COULD YOU REPEAT THE AUTHOR [INAUDIBLE]
>> THE AUTHOR OF THIS BOOK IS HEATHER L. MONTGOMERY.
>> THANK YOU. NEXT UP OUR REPORTS TO THE BOARD.
THEY ARE WORKING ON MY MIC TO GET ME A BETTER MIC.
REPORTS TO THE BOARD MRS. MARTY HOFER. THANK YOU.
>> GOOD EVENING, DR. YOUNG, PRESIDENT WEBSTER.
>> BOARD, CABINET, PARENTS. I'M MARTY HOFER.
I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF THE PIKE TOWNSHIP EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION.
I'M PLEASED TO SERVE AS THEIR SECRETARY AND THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY, DR. YOUNG TO PRESENT THE PIKE TOWNSHIP EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION TO ALL OF THESE PARENTS.
OUR GOAL HERE IS IN OUR MISSION STATEMENT, IS COLLABORATING WITH STRATEGIC PARTNERS TO PROVIDE SCHOLARSHIP, GRANTS, AND RECOGNITION TO OUR PIKE EDUCATIONAL FAMILY.
WE RAISE MONEY TO GIVE IT AWAY IN THE FORM OF SCHOLARSHIP, GRANTS, AND RECOGNITION.
THE EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION IS ALMOST APPROACHING THEIR MILESTONE BIRTHDAY, YOU CAN SEE WE WERE FOUNDED IN 1993.
WE HAVE, LIKE I SAID, OBTAIN AND SHARE FUNDING FOR PROGRAMS THAT WOULD NOT OTHERWISE BE AVAILABLE.
WE FUNDED A GRANT LAST YEAR FOR SHEEP BRAINS.
WELL, THAT'S FINE TO DISSECT IN A SOCIOLOGY CLASS.
NOW, THAT'S A LITTLE PROBABLY NOT IN THE USUAL BUDGET FOR A SOCIOLOGY CLASS.
WE JUST GET TO DO THINGS THAT ARE A LITTLE BIT OUT OF THE NORM MAYBE.
WE ARE 501C3 ORGANIZATION SO YOUR DONATIONS ARE TAX-DEDUCTIBLE AND WE ARE A COMPLETELY SEPARATE ENTITY, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND FROM YOU AS A BOARD, WE OPERATE INDEPENDENTLY.
THIS SLIDE IS MY FAVORITE, I THINK OF ALL OF THEM.
SINCE 1993, THE FOUNDATION HAS AWARDED MORE THAN $675,000 AND CLASSROOM AND SCHOOL GRANTS.
I AS A CLASSROOM TEACHER WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO RECEIVE A FEW OF THOSE DOLLARS AND THEY MADE SO MUCH DIFFERENCE IN MY OWN PERSONAL CLASSROOM.
JUST LAST YEAR WE HAD $14,000 IN CLASSROOM GRANTS.
WE USE DONORSCHOOSE DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT PROGRAM,
[00:10:01]
WHICH GAVE US MORE THAN $25,000 TO TURN AROUND INTO PIKE CLASSROOMS. THAT IS A LOT OF MONEY TO TURN BACK AROUND TO KIDS.SOME OF THE EXAMPLES YOU SEE THESE RUN ACROSS THE DISTRICT FROM INDOOR AND OUTDOOR STEM STATIONS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, PROBABLY SOME OF THE STUDENTS SITTING IN THIS ROOM HAVE BEEN TO THOSE STATIONS.
STUDY TRIP TO EAGLE CREEK PARK FOR ANOTHER BIOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE CLASS AS ZEN ZONE AT EASTERBROOK ELEMENTARY, THOSE ARE BECOMING QUITE POPULAR.
WE'RE SEEING LOTS OF GRANTS FOR SEL-TYPE ROOMS IN THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.
A PAPER SHREDDER FOR THE LIFE SKILLS CLASS FOR A PROGRAM, THEY RUN A LIGHT BOX AT THE PRESCHOOL.
WE'RE DOING THINGS ACROSS THE DISTRICT, MAKING A DIFFERENCE FOR OUR STUDENTS.
BUT THEN WE DON'T JUST STOP WHILE THEY'RE IN SCHOOL WE TURN AROUND AND ALSO GIVE SCHOLARSHIPS.
THE FOUNDATION HAS AWARDED MORE THAN $660,000 IN SCHOLARSHIPS TO OUR GRADUATING SENIORS. HINT, HINT.
IF YOU'RE A SENIOR IN THE ROOM, MAKE SURE YOU APPLY FOR THESE.
THERE'S THE END OF THAT COMMERCIAL.
WE GIVE AWAY LAST YEAR MORE THAN $55,000 TO A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT SCHOLARSHIPS, JUST SOME OF THEM ARE LISTED THERE.
THIS QUOTE FROM THE DEASIA SMITH IS A GREAT QUOTE.
IT SAYS THE SCHOLARSHIP IS GOING TO HELP LESSEN THE BURDEN ON MY COLLEGE TUITION FUNDS.
ANYTHING HELPS, AND I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL FOR THIS SCHOLARSHIP.
I'M CONFIDENT THAT DEASIA WAS HELPED NOT ONLY WITH THE SCHOLARSHIP BUT THEN WITH THE GRANTS THAT WERE GIVEN TO HER CLASSROOM TEACHERS.
WE GET TO TOUCH STUDENTS FOR YEARS, WHICH IS WHAT MAKES THE WORK WE DO SO FULFILLING.
WE ALSO RECOGNIZE OUR STAFF LASHED OR EVERY YEAR WE RECOGNIZE THE CHAMPION TEACHER AWARD.
WE RECOGNIZE EACH BUILDING'S INDIVIDUAL TEACHER AND CERTIFIED STAFF MEMBER OF THE YEAR.
WE DID DONUTS FOR THE BUS DRIVERS AND WE WERE ABLE TO GET HOTBOX GIFT CARDS FOR ALL THE INSTRUCTIONAL ASSISTANCE AND OFFICE STAFF MEMBERS.
TRYING TO TOUCH EVERYBODY, NOT IN BIG WAYS, A DOUGHNUT IS NOT BIG, BUT HOPEFULLY, IT'S A SMALL WAY TO SAY THANK YOU.
THERE ARE LOTS OF WAYS YOU CAN DONATE.
WHO DOESN'T USE AMAZON? SMILE.AMAZON.COM IS A GREAT WAY TO GIVE BACK.
FEEL FREE TO PULL OUT YOUR PHONE.
YOU CAN DESIGNATE PTEF AS YOUR CHARITY OF CHOICE, WHICH IS SUCH A PAINLESS WAY TO GIVE.
YOU CAN REGISTER YOUR KROGER CARD.
YOU CAN PURCHASE AN EDUCATIONAL LICENSE PLATE THROUGH THE DMV AND DESIGNATE PTEF, AND THEN BE ON THE LOOKOUT.
OUR SEASON OF GIVING IS COMING UP AND WE'RE GOING TO BE A PART OF GIVING TUESDAY.
I PUSH HERE AT THE END OF THE YEAR TO RAISE FUNDS.
ALSO TOO BIG, SAVE THE DATE, SORRY ABOUT THE ODD FORMATTING ON THAT SLIDE.
BUT MARCH 11TH IS ALWAYS A GOOD NIGHT.
TREASURES FOR EDUCATION THAT IS A GALA AND AUCTION.
IT'S AT A NEW LOCATION THIS YEAR, THE BROADMOOR COUNTRY CLUB.
THEN JUNE 15TH IS OUR GOLF OUTING AT TWIN LAKES GOLF CLUBS.
IF YOU'RE A GOLFER, MARK YOUR CALENDAR FOR JUNE 15TH AS WELL, THAT IS ALSO ALWAYS A GOOD TIME.
THEN I'LL LEAVE THIS SLIDE UP FOR JUST A MOMENT.
YOU CAN USE THAT QR CODE IF YOU'RE IN THE AUDIENCE TO GO TO OUR WEBSITE, WHICH IS PIKE-EF.ORG.
YOU CAN FIND US ON FACEBOOK, ON INSTAGRAM.
THEN IF YOU NEED TO EMAIL US, THERE IS OUR EMAIL ADDRESSES.
ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? WE APPRECIATE THIS TIME SHARING OUR MESSAGE WITH LOTS OF PEOPLE WHO MAY NOT HAVE KNOWN IT.
THANK YOU FOR THAT OPPORTUNITY.
NEXT UP IS FALL SPORTS RECOGNITION.
>> MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. DR. YOUNG.
THIS EVENING WE HAVE THE GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO RECOGNIZE OUR FALL SPORTS AWARDEES.
WE'RE GOING TO RECOGNIZE THREE SCHOOLS.

THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR IN THE EXISTENCE OF BOTH THE MARION COUNTY AND MEET TOURNAMENTS MEETS THAT ONE TEAM HAS WON BOTH MEET, SO A VERY HISTORIC SEASON.[APPLAUSE] OVER REALLY LAST TWO YEARS, THIS IS BEEN BREWING, I GUESS YOU COULD SAY.
WE HAVE HAD GREAT LEADERSHIP FROM OUR EIGHTH GRADERS, BOTH LAST YEAR AND THIS YEAR.
WE HAVE A VERY TALENTED GROUP OF SIXTH AND SEVENTH GRADERS TO GO ALONG WITH THOSE EIGHTH GRADERS AND THEIR LEADERSHIP.
IT HAS BEEN A TOTAL TEAM EFFORT FROM TOP TO BOTTOM WITH ALL OF THE YOUNG LADIES.
I'D ALSO LIKE TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THEY HAVE ONE OF THE PROBABLY THE HIGHEST CUMULATIVE GPA IN OUR SCHOOL, COMING IN AROUND ABOUT 3.68A CUMULATIVE GPA.
[APPLAUSE] [NOISE] IF NOT MISTAKEN, I WANT TO GIVE THE EXACT NUMBER, BUT THERE ARE SEVERAL OF OUR YOUNG LADIES WHO HAVE A PERFECT 4.0 GPA, AS WAS DEMONSTRATED AT OUR AWARDS BANQUET NOT TOO LONG AGO FOR THE FIRST QUARTER.

I'M THRILLED TO BE HERE AND TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO RECOGNIZE SOME INCREDIBLE STUDENT ATHLETES.
FIRST SHOUT OUT TO THE GUION CREEK FOOTBALL TEAM AND NEW AUGUSTA CROSS-COUNTRY TEAM.
WE ARE VERY EXCITED TO HAVE YOU AT PIKE.
[APPLAUSE] WE HAVE SEVERAL ATHLETES TO HONOR THIS EVENING, AND I'VE TOLD OUR COACHES THEY WEREN'T ALLOWED TO SAY TOO MUCH BECAUSE I'M GOING TO SAY A LOT.
ACTUALLY, I'M NOT GOING TO SAY MUCH I PROMISE.
BUT I DO WANT TO DO A QUICK OVERVIEW.
IT'S BEEN AN OUTSTANDING FALL.
WE HAVE SO MUCH TO BE PROUD OF.
WE'VE GOT ALMOST JUST UNDER 400 STUDENT ATHLETES AND IT'S JUST BEEN A TRUE PLEASURE TO WATCH THEM COMPETE THROUGHOUT THE SEASON.
A THIRD OF OUR FALL ATHLETES HAVE A 3.5 OR HIGHER.
FORTY PERCENT OF THEM ARE 3.0 OR HIGHER.
WE HAVE 42 ATHLETES THAT HAVE A 4.0 OR HIGHER.
[APPLAUSE] THIS ONE IS PROBABLY MY FAVORITE ACADEMICS STATISTIC.
I PULLED THE JUNIORS AND SENIORS SINCE THEY'VE BEEN PARTICIPATING.
THEY'D BEEN IN HIGH SCHOOL FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS AND LOOKED AT THEIR CUMULATIVE GPA.
ALL OF OUR JUNIOR AND SENIOR ATHLETES COLLECTIVELY AVERAGE A 3.0 CUMULATIVE GPA. [APPLAUSE] JUST VERY IMPRESSIVE.
REALLY WHAT'S SO AMAZING AND I'LL SPEAK TO THE ATHLETES, ESPECIALLY RIGHT NOW.
YOU SPEND NEARLY 12 HOURS A DAY AT THAT SCHOOL MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AND SATURDAYS AND IT'S JUST AMAZING TO ME THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO SPEND THAT TIME THERE IN THE CLASSROOM AND IN THE ATHLETIC ARENA AND TO BE SO INCREDIBLY SUCCESSFUL.
WE'RE GOING TO CELEBRATE SEVERAL ALL-COUNTY ALL-MIC ATHLETES THIS EVENING.
WE HAVE SEVERAL OTHER ACCOLADES THAT DIDN'T EVEN MAKE OUR LIST.
SEVERAL ACADEMIC, ALL-STATE AND MIXED SCHOLAR ATHLETES.
I'M GOING TO STEAL SOME THUNDER HERE.
WE OBVIOUSLY HAD AN OUTSTANDING BOYS SOCCER SEASON AND I WANT TO GIVE THEM A SHOUT OUT.
[APPLAUSE] THEY WON MARION COUNTY, THAT'S 16 TEAMS. THEY WON THE MICK FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SCHOOL HISTORY, AND THEN THEY WON SECTIONAL.
[APPLAUSE] TWO LAST THINGS I SAY ALL THIS AND I KNOW MOST OF THE PARENTS IN THIS ROOM KNOW.
HERE WE ARE SMACK IN THE CENTER OF THIS CITY AND OUR COMPETITION [LAUGHTER] DAY IN AND DAY OUT.
WE COMPETE AGAINST THE BEST THAT THERE IS.
TO HAVE ALL THESE ACCOMPLISHMENTS WHILE COMPETING AGAINST SOME OF THE BEST IN THE STATE EVERY SINGLE DAY IS AWESOME.
I THINK SOMETIMES OUR KIDS DON'T EVEN REALIZE THAT.
BUT WE LOOK AT RESULTS AROUND THE STATE AND JUST SEE HOW INCREDIBLE YOU TRULY ARE.
I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO REQUIRE MY COACHES TO SPEAK THIS EVENING.
WE'VE ASKED THEM ALL TO BE HERE AND WE'RE HERE TO CELEBRATE THE KIDS.
BUT WE ALL KNOW, EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM KNOWS WE WOULD NOT BE HERE WITHOUT THESE COACHES.
A THIRD OF OUR FALL COACHES ARE BRAND NEW TO PIKE HIGH SCHOOL AND THEY GIVE US SO MUCH TO BE PROUD OF.

>> IT'S BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED AND WE ACCEPT THE REQUEST TO SEEK BIDS BY MR. CLAY AND GROUP.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
>> OPPOSED. OKAY. NEXT UP IS ITEMS D THROUGH F. MR. GREG FOSTER.
>> GOOD EVENING, DR. WEBSTER, THE BOARD. DR. YOUNG.
MY NAME IS GREG FOSTER. I'M THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER AT PIKE.
I RECOMMEND THAT FOR YOUR APPROVAL.
ITEMS D THROUGH F, THEY INCLUDE A DECLARATION OF SURPLUS EQUIPMENT, 13 CONTRACTS, AND OUR CLAIMS AND ALLOWANCES FOR THE MONTH.
I RECOMMEND YOU PROPOSE PRESENTED.
>> I MOVE THAT WE ACCEPT ITEMS D, E, AND F AS PRESENTED.
>> IT'S BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED THAT WE ACCEPT ITEMS D, E, AND F AS PRESENTED BY MR. GREG FOSTER.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME ON ITEMS D, E, OR F?
[00:55:04]
>> I HAVE A QUESTION ON THE TOSHIBA BUSINESS SOLUTIONS IS THAT PART OF THIS? THE TOSHIBA BUSINESS SOLUTIONS.
>> WHAT IS THE ACTUAL COST? I SEE THE CONTRACT OR WHATEVER AND I SEE SOME NUMBERS IS 0.00280 SENSOR.
IT'S COST DRIVEN BY THE NUMBER OF PRINTERS AND COPIES.
IT'S DRIVEN DEPENDING ON THE VOLUME OF THE USAGE, THAT DRIVES THE COST.
>> THAT'S HOW MUCH IT IS PER COPY? I SEE IT SAYS EXCESS CHARGE AND SOMEWHERE THERE WAS LIKE A CREDIT.
BUT I DON'T SEE LIKE A BILL TOTAL.
>> I THINK IT'S NOT CLEAR THE PER PIECE COSTS.
>> I SEE A $200 PER HOUR FOR MAINTENANCE AND THAT.
>> COULD I DEFER TO MR. REICHERT, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER?
>> I APOLOGIZE. THE QUESTION WAS AROUND THE COST PER PAGE, CORRECT?
>> IT WAS AROUND WHAT ARE WE PAYING IN THIS CONTRACT?
>> SO THE CONTRACT HERE IS MR. FOSTER REQUESTED A COPIER BE ADDED TO THE BUSINESS OFFICE.
SO THIS IS THE ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE CONTRACT FOR THAT OUTSIDE OF OUR NORMAL LEASED COPIERS THAT WE HAVE THAT ARE COMING UP ACTUALLY IN THE FIFTH YEAR.
SO SINCE THIS IS AN ADDITION TO OUR EXISTING SERVICES, THE COST PER PAGE, WHICH IS SOMETHING WE WOULD HAVE DONE AS PART OF THE LEASE YEARS AGO.
THIS IS A SEPARATE COST, SO IT'S LIKE TWO THOUSANDS OF A CENT PER PAGE, BLACK AND WHITE, AND THEN JUST A LITTLE OVER THAT FOR COLOR.
SO THAT WOULD BE THIS THEN THE WAY TOSHIBA DOES THEIR CONTRACTS, THERE'S THE PURCHASE OF THE MACHINE.
BUT BECAUSE THEY ALSO TAKE CARE OF SUPPLYING THE CONSUMABLES LIKE THE TONER CARTRIDGES AND THE WASTE TONER BANDS AND OTHER THINGS THAT GO INTO THE MACHINE, THEY CHARGE US PER PAGE ON TOP OF THAT.
>> ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON ITEMS D, E, OR F? NO OTHER QUESTIONS. LET'S GO TO VOTE.
ALL IN FAVOR EXCEPT IN ITEMS, D, E, AND F SAY AYE.
WE'RE ONTO BOARD MEMBER ITEMS, MS. LOMAX.
>> GOOD EVENING AND THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT STUCK AROUND.
ALL OF OUR ATHLETES, SO PROUD.
THE IDEA THAT WE HAVE SCHOLARS AMONG THEM, LEADING IN THE CLASSROOM, LEADING ON THE FIELD, LEADING WHEREVER THEY ARE IT'S AWESOME.
I WANT TO REITERATE ABOUT THE CITY CHARTER SCHOOL MEETING ON TUESDAY AND PEOPLE TO WEIGH IN AND VOICE THEIR OPINION AND HELP US KEEP PIKE AND INTENT.
WE ARE THE ONLY SCHOOL THAT WE NEED.
WE ARE THE DISTRICT AND HASHTAG PIKE PROUD.
>> I JUST LIKE TO CONGRATULATE DR. WEBSTER AND MR. ANDERSON FOR WINNING ANOTHER SEAT TO LEAD YOU FOR ANOTHER FOUR YEARS.
>> THINK YOU'LL DO A GOOD JOB AND THE DISTRICT CONTINUES TO BE IN GOOD HANDS.
ONCE AGAIN, WANT TO SAY, IT ALWAYS HAS MY HEART, GOOD TO SEE THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE ATHLETES AND THAT THEY KEEP UP WITH THEIR GRADES.
THAT IS PHENOMENAL AND REALLY, I HOPE WE CONTINUE TO SHOWCASE THAT TO OUR DISTRICT AND TO OUR COMMUNITY.
YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR US ALL SAY THAT, PLEASE SUPPORT OUR VOICE AGAINST IMPLEMENTING CHARTER SCHOOLS IN THE DISTRICT, BECAUSE I THINK WE REALLY WANT TO MAKE EVERYONE RECOGNIZE EVERYTHING THEY NEED IS RIGHT HERE.
THERE'S REALLY NO NEED TO GO ANYWHERE ELSE.
HOPEFULLY, WE CAN GET THAT MESSAGE OUT NEXT TUESDAY.
[01:00:01]
>> YES. THANK YOU. AGAIN, TO ECHO MS. RANDOLPH'S COMMENTS.
THANK YOU TO THE COMMUNITY FOR SEEING FIT THE PASS WEBSTER AND I SERVE ANOTHER TERM.
ALSO, I WOULD LIKE TO GET A SHOUT-OUT TO RAUL LOPEZ SANCHEZ.
ONE OF OUR PIKE PRODUCTS WHO WAS AT THE POLLS FROM 6:00 AM TO 6:00 PM PAST LITERATURE LEARNING.
[APPLAUSE]. KUDOS TO THAT YOUNG MAN THERE AND THE KNOWLEDGE TO ALL OUR AWARD WINNERS AND OUR TEAMS FOR DOING A GREAT JOB.
I ALSO ECHO PASS WEBSTER SEDIMENTS TO KEEP OUR TALENT IN THE DISTRICT.
ALSO TO OUR BUS DRIVERS FOR THE FOOD DRIVE THAT THEY ARE GOING TO COMPLETE FOR US, KUDOS TO THEM.
THE PURDUE POLYTECH HIGH SCHOOL DID A PRESENTATION LAST WEEK.
THEY WHISPERED IT TO THE COMMUNITY.
I FOUND OUT ABOUT IT ABOUT 15 MINUTES BEFORE, BUT I WAS ABLE TO ATTEND A GOOD HALF OF IT.
WE NEED TO EDUCATE AND LET OUR COMMUNITY KNOW THAT, IN MY OPINION, THIS IS A ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT AGAINST OUR GREAT DISTRICT.
PIKE IS A VERY PROUD AND A VERY GOOD SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND WE DON'T NEED ANY OTHER CHARTER SCHOOLS TO COME IN THE WAY THAT THEY DID, THEY HAD THE APPLICATION FILLED OUT AND PUT IN BEFORE.
THEY EVEN HAD ONE TOWN HALL MEETING.
AGAIN, THIS MEETING WAS WHISPERED TO OUR DISTRICT, OUR COMMUNITY.
NO ONE HEARD ABOUT IT FOUR PEOPLE SHOWED UP.
THAT IN ITSELF IS NOT A SIGN OF GOOD FAITH.
PLEASE STAND UP, COME OUT, SPEAK YOUR VOICE AT THE CITY-COUNTY COUNCIL MEETING ON TUESDAY. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU, MR. ANDERSON. MS. KELLY.
>> AGAIN, I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE AND HEAR ALL THE GREAT THINGS OUR STUDENT-ATHLETES ARE DOING THIS FALL.
SHOUT OUT TO THE STUDENTS THAT ARE PREPARING TO PUT ON LITTLE MERMAID THIS WEEKEND, ALL THAT CAN GO AND SUPPORT THEM, PLEASE GO AND SUPPORT THEM.
I'M LOVING, I CAN'T GET OVER THESE GPA NUMBERS OF OUR STUDENT-ATHLETES.
I'M VERY EXCITED THAT THEY ARE STUDENT-ATHLETES, SCHOLARS FIRST AND ATHLETES, IN ADDITION TO THAT.
MADE A NOTE AND ALSO WITH THE CHARTERS.
HOPEFULLY, EVERYONE CAN JOIN US TUESDAY TO MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD BECAUSE IF OUR COMMUNITY DOESN'T SPEAK UP, THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT WE WANT.
WE NEED TO SPEAK UP, SPEAK OUT, MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD, AND KNOWN THAT WE WANT TO REMAIN AS WE ARE, PIKE PROUD.
>> THANK YOU, MS. KELLY. DR. YOUNG.
>> FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS.
ECHO THE SENTIMENTS OF CONGRATULATIONS TO DR. WEBSTER, MR. ANDERSON, AND IF PASTOR MOORE IS LISTENING, TO HIM AS WELL.
ALSO WANT TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF OUR STUDENT-ATHLETES.
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE GPAS, THE SUCCESS BUT I THINK DR. WEBSTER, YOUR POINT ABOUT WHAT'S EVEN IN THE PIPELINE GETS ME SUPER EXCITED THAT WE'VE GOT SOME PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING WAITING TO GET TO THE HIGH SCHOOL AND CONTINUE TO EXCEL.
I DID HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TODAY TO PRESENT VIA INVITATION THROUGH OUR EDUCATION FOUNDATION AT THE INDIANA ASSOCIATION OF PUBLIC EDUCATION FOUNDATIONS.
THERE WERE EDUCATION FOUNDATIONS FROM ACROSS THE STATE OF INDIANA AND WE TALKED ABOUT OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PIKE TOWNSHIP EDUCATION FOUNDATION FILLED IN A LOT OF GREAT QUESTIONS, AND PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT MANY OF THE THINGS THAT WE WERE DOING HERE IN PIKE IN THAT PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE DISTRICT AND THE EDUCATION FOUNDATION IS PRETTY INNOVATIVE.
HAD AN OPPORTUNITY A FEW WEEKS BACK TO TALK TO SOME OF OUR CADET TEACHERS IN DR. GWENDOLYN JOHNSON'S CLASS AND TALK ABOUT THE FIELD OF EDUCATION.
THEY HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT I DID SO WE MAY HAVE SOME FUTURE ADMINISTRATORS AS WELL.
WHEN I WAS LEAVING, THERE WERE ACTUALLY TWO OF THEM THAT STOPPED AND WANTED ME TO PROMISE TO GIVE THEM A JOB WHEN THEY FINISH.
I BELIEVE THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT AS WELL AS WE LOOK AT OUR FUTURE EDUCATORS IN PIKE. THANK YOU.
FINALLY, WE ALSO WANT TO MAKE AN APPEAL TO EVERY ELECTED OFFICIAL THAT'S IN PIKE, NOT JUST SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS, BUT THOSE WHO ARE OUR LEGISLATORS IN OUR CITY-COUNTY COUNCIL.
ALL REPRESENTATIVES IN PIKE COME STAND WITH US AND LET US KNOW YOUR POSITION ON THESE CHARTER SCHOOLS IN PIKE AS WE SEEK TO PUSH BACK ON THOSE WHO WANT TO COME IN.
[01:05:01]
WE'RE CHALLENGING ELECTED OFFICIALS TO COME AND STAND WITH US NEXT TUESDAY.ALSO, A SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL OF YOU WHO DID ENTRUST MR. ANDERSON AND I HUMBLY TO BE RE-ELECTED TO SERVE THE BOARD.
ME FOR MYSELF, IT WAS THE NINTH HOUR FOR ME.
WE COME TO SUCH A ROUGH TIME WITH THE NINTH HOUR, BUT YOU ENTRUSTED US TO BE BACK TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY AGAIN.
WE'RE HUMBLED BY THAT AND WE ARE GRATEFUL AND THANKFUL AS WELL.
ALSO PLEASE THAT IN EVERY SESSION, GO OUT AND TELL SOMEBODY THAT YOU LOVE THEM, SPEAK SOMETHING POSITIVE TO SOMEONE.
YOUR WORDS MAY BE THE LIFELINE TO HELP SOMEONE ELSE THIS WEEKEND.
GO IN GRACE, MEETING DISMISSED.
[NOISE]
