Blinds in the 7-12 building may need replacement. 7-12 Cafeteria will get new audio/video upgrades. Chip/seal front parking lot of 7-12. Painting of all parking spaces district wide. Looking at installing vape detection and noise sensors at 7-12 and CIS. Cameras will be positioned to focus on bathroom exits as well. Will be meeting in the fall regarding gym floor replacement in 2024. Going to create outdoor dining space at 7-12 building at the NE corner of the building, using money from the service funds that were left over. Replacing laptops for all staff districtwide. Looking at cost to resurface playground at CIS/CPS - there had been shortages in the materials. Jeff Wollard’s department created a 15 year project list. Will send it to all Board Members and they are encouraged to look at it. Bond for CIS/CPS end in Feb 2023. No new funds will be generated for those buildings. All repairs after that will then have to come out of the general fund. Board Policies are in pause because of the lame duck session of the General Assembly - no report Music - HS spring concert was on May 24th - CSG performed at all 4 communities’ Memorial Day Parades. New leadership team for the Marching Band is excited to start this year. Band camp starts in July and they have 23 new members. CPS - final music activity was a virtual summer camp: found rhythm in the stars, went fishing for melodies and more. Maplewood - Starting their construction project near the entrance - 781 students currently enrolled for next year. Their board talked about House Bill 99 extensively. Bonnie Lovejoy asked if the Crestwood School Board was going to talk about it. Todd Monroe asked Jeff Wollard to speak about what he just completed. Jeff Wollard stood and told the board that every 3 years all school districts are required to submit emergency management plan to the State. The Crestwood EOP was submitted in May and has been approved for the next 3 years. It includes many protocols, such as how to respond in a variety of situations, where to rendezvous for children and parents, dealing with local emergency agencies, how to deal with weather calamities, where to locate staff/students to maintain operations in event of a building not being operational due to emergency. The Crestwood plan was approved quickly and without need for revision. Bonne Lovejoy said that this is outside of that plan and is suggesting that arming school personnel should be a discussion with the Crestwood board. Karen Schulz wondered what we would need to do. David Toth said that before any resolution, they would need to change policy which currently does NOT allow for armed school personnet, rewrite a policy, write about training, look at legal components, and carefully look how this would impact insurance coverage for the school district. BL insists that there is a lot that goes into it, and thatMaplewood is just starting to look at the process. KC would think that having a discussion would be helpful and wanted to add it to the meeting in two weeks. DToth suggested that the Board first talk with legal counsel to walk through law point by point, have a discussion about what it means, and have a clear overview of what the board can do/not do. THeron says that we heard from two members of the community today, perhaps a survey of the entire community would be helpful. KSchulz asked if it should be on the next meeting’s agenda in two weeks. The majority feedback was that it would need more prior work than could be achieved in two weeks. KCavanaugh said that if the meeting isn’t too detailed, maybe the July meeting would be a good discussion point. TMonroe said that it would be more helpful to get expert advice first and they might not be available in that short notice. DToth will work with KSchulz to get experts available to help guide the board. OSBA - Ohio EPA is offering funds for water bottle refilling stations - $5k/school, $10k/district; Student Achievement Fair Nov 14th - student programs and artwork can still be submitted; Discussed multiple bills in process at GA GOING OUT OF ROBERTS RULES OF ORDER: Tim Heron was given the floor and said, “CRT is theory, not history.” Added that if teachers have any qualms about what they can or can’t teach, there is a board for them to discuss it with. 9. EXECUTIVE SESSION 9.01 Move Into Executive Session 10. ADJOURNMENT 10.01 Motion to Adjourn  LWV Observer: JSM
