WEBVTT 00:00:00.290 --> 00:00:10.627 - call the meeting to order for today, what's today? May 20th, 2026. And let's go with a presentation 00:00:10.627 --> 00:00:21.481 - from RBB and tell us where we are. And please introduce yourself so everybody knows who you are. I know, 00:00:21.481 --> 00:00:29.854 - but. Well, I'm Dr. Jerry Sanders. I'm superintendent at Richmond Boston Schools. 00:00:30.050 --> 00:00:42.172 - Like we try to go by Edgewood schools today. Everybody knows more about being Edgewood than RBB, I think, 00:00:42.172 --> 00:00:53.608 - because of athletics and show choir and things like that. But yeah, so tonight I really just wanted 00:00:53.608 --> 00:00:58.526 - to show off this magazine that we created. 00:00:59.074 --> 00:01:07.955 - that was mailed out to everybody in the community. And this magazine was, everything in it was created 00:01:07.955 --> 00:01:16.664 - by students. So you can see on the inside of the first page at the bottom, the names of the students 00:01:16.664 --> 00:01:26.148 - who put this together. They did all the writing, the picture taking, the arranging, the marketing, everything 00:01:26.148 --> 00:01:27.614 - except for maybe 00:01:27.714 --> 00:01:37.539 - There's some comments from the principals that they wrote their own comments. I wrote my own comment. 00:01:37.539 --> 00:01:47.267 - But other than that, this was generated by students. And this is basically an assignment that I gave 00:01:47.267 --> 00:01:55.454 - them at the beginning of the school year that I asked the marketing team to create a 00:01:57.538 --> 00:02:06.819 - presentation of some sort that we could tell our story and what we're doing in Edgewood schools. And 00:02:06.819 --> 00:02:16.193 - so they decided to put together this magazine and tell our story about what we're trying to do across 00:02:16.193 --> 00:02:25.566 - Edgewood schools. So what I want you to do is when you turn into the first page, page three actually, 00:02:25.826 --> 00:02:41.035 - You'll see three words, explore, engage, and experience. Colin? Challenge, Colin. That's my challenge. 00:02:41.035 --> 00:02:53.438 - Challenge, right on. Welcome aboard, Mr. Colin. Thank you. It was a major accident. 00:02:53.826 --> 00:03:01.741 - Yeah, that's what got me. I saw that, yeah. And we just started to listen to it. We're on page three 00:03:01.741 --> 00:03:09.656 - of the magazine that was created by our students and mailed out throughout the community. And like I 00:03:09.656 --> 00:03:17.022 - was saying, it was an assignment given to our students and our marketing team to create this. 00:03:17.922 --> 00:03:24.954 - And they focused on three words, explore, engage, and experience. And this is all career-centered. As 00:03:24.954 --> 00:03:31.849 - you look through the pictures, I know sometimes we look at the pictures. And in fact, on page seven 00:03:31.849 --> 00:03:38.950 - is a picture of my granddaughter. So to be honest with you, when I first looked through this and I saw 00:03:38.950 --> 00:03:44.190 - her picture, I didn't really look at any other picture at first. Of course. 00:03:44.386 --> 00:03:54.196 - She's got a magnifying glass in her hand. As you look through this magazine, it talks about each of 00:03:54.196 --> 00:04:04.792 - our schools from the Edgewood Early Childhood Center, which is our preschool. It's a daycare and preschool, 00:04:04.792 --> 00:04:12.542 - daycare for staff members, preschool for the community, and it's already full. 00:04:12.770 --> 00:04:21.246 - for next year. We doubled the size of what we had before and it's already full. We can't keep up. We 00:04:21.246 --> 00:04:29.975 - keep building, but we can't keep up. But take, I want you to look at these pictures and not necessarily 00:04:29.975 --> 00:04:38.451 - at the cute kids, but look at what they're doing. And most of the pictures that you see from page to 00:04:38.451 --> 00:04:39.710 - page, you can, 00:04:40.546 --> 00:04:48.841 - They identify some kind of career that that activity that the student is doing, some kind of career 00:04:48.841 --> 00:04:57.799 - that can be linked to what their activity is. And in fact, if you look on page six and seven, our childhood 00:04:57.799 --> 00:05:06.260 - center, you'll see one with my granddaughter, Alati, she, you know, she's, I would say that's kind of 00:05:06.260 --> 00:05:09.246 - just a place where she's exploring. 00:05:10.658 --> 00:05:20.629 - and maybe it'll engaged in some type of research. Now, several years ago, when we were getting started 00:05:20.629 --> 00:05:30.890 - in what we're doing with Ready Schools and the STEAM initiative, we took a trip to several schools across 00:05:30.890 --> 00:05:37.086 - the country. And one of them, I'll never forget, it's just been 00:05:37.186 --> 00:05:45.443 - Part of what I share because it was so meaningful to me, but we were up in Wisconsin. At a high school 00:05:45.443 --> 00:05:50.494 - and they had a student run business that was a machining shop. 00:05:52.066 --> 00:06:00.140 - And so they had students who took care of the accounting, took care of payroll, took care of going out 00:06:00.140 --> 00:06:08.057 - and talking to customers. And then those who were actually doing the machining part of the business. 00:06:08.057 --> 00:06:15.973 - And companies would come to them and say, hey, I have a job for you to do. And they would, just like 00:06:15.973 --> 00:06:20.990 - any other company, make the arrangements, figure out the specs. 00:06:21.090 --> 00:06:28.226 - and meet customers' desires, and they were a profitable business. And so when we were up there, and 00:06:28.226 --> 00:06:35.219 - I sat down for lunch with the students, and it was one particular student who was across from me, 00:06:35.219 --> 00:06:42.283 - I said, oh, he's a senior, so what do you want him to do when you graduate from high school? Well, 00:06:42.283 --> 00:06:49.490 - he goes, I want to go on and get an education. I want to be a nurse someday. I was a little confused 00:06:49.490 --> 00:06:50.846 - because I thought, 00:06:51.426 --> 00:07:00.810 - What does machining have to do with being a nurse? How is that helping him in any way? And he explained 00:07:00.810 --> 00:07:10.014 - to me, I'm learning how to problem solve. I'm learning how to talk to a customer. I'm learning how to 00:07:10.014 --> 00:07:19.038 - listen for understanding all skills, soft skills, that I will be able to employ someday as a nurse. 00:07:19.554 --> 00:07:28.777 - as we turn from page to page, you'd be able to, if you thought about it, you'd be able to link some 00:07:28.777 --> 00:07:38.093 - type of career to most of the pictures in this magazine. If you go back to page four, you'll see our 00:07:38.093 --> 00:07:46.302 - graduate profile. So everything, this kind of gives a good snapshot of Edgewood schools. 00:07:47.362 --> 00:07:58.250 - But everything is focused on this graduate profile that you see on page four, that when a student graduates 00:07:58.250 --> 00:08:09.037 - from Edgewood High School, we expect them to exemplify these areas, compassion, resilience, communication, 00:08:09.037 --> 00:08:14.078 - collaboration, innovation, and critical thinking. 00:08:14.530 --> 00:08:23.427 - Now a lot of times terms could have multiple meanings to people. That's why we put some other terms 00:08:23.427 --> 00:08:32.502 - below each of those to kind of explain a little bit. What do we mean by compassion? Well, empathetic, 00:08:32.502 --> 00:08:36.862 - generous, equitable, socially aware, resilience, 00:08:37.442 --> 00:08:47.878 - reflective, adaptable, goal-oriented, industrious, and so forth as you go around. And so everything 00:08:47.878 --> 00:08:58.940 - that we do needs to fit in to any one of these characteristics of what an Edgewood graduate is all about. 00:08:58.940 --> 00:09:04.158 - Now, if you would, flip back to starting page 18. 00:09:07.714 --> 00:09:19.643 - further. Page 20, it looks like this. This is, I showed you on page four what we expect our students 00:09:19.643 --> 00:09:31.572 - to, the characteristics they should have when they graduate. But the key to this is breaking it down 00:09:31.572 --> 00:09:36.414 - by grade levels. So when you get down to 00:09:36.578 --> 00:09:47.433 - page 20, you'll see what those expectations look like at the primary school, and then at the intermediate 00:09:47.433 --> 00:09:57.777 - school and the junior high school, so that we can track how we're preparing our students and saying, 00:09:57.777 --> 00:10:04.638 - okay, what are we going to do at the primary school in grades K-2? 00:10:04.770 --> 00:10:13.208 - What are we going to do at the intermediate school grades 3-5 that are going to eventually lead to these 00:10:13.208 --> 00:10:21.405 - students actually having a graduate profile? We're not about putting a mission statement on a wall or 00:10:21.405 --> 00:10:29.603 - in a document. This is all about putting things in action and living action. These aren't just words. 00:10:29.603 --> 00:10:32.094 - These are things that students 00:10:32.642 --> 00:10:42.075 - teachers are teaching and students are learning. So take another look through the different schools 00:10:42.075 --> 00:10:51.602 - and you'll see the words explore, engage, and experience. So we're trying to develop in our students 00:10:51.602 --> 00:10:58.110 - as they grow up and move from K to two, three to five, six to seven, 00:10:58.210 --> 00:11:05.734 - We're trying to give them opportunities where they're developing their interests. What do they want 00:11:05.734 --> 00:11:13.409 - to be someday? And a lot of times they're learning, what do I not want to be? I don't want to go into 00:11:13.409 --> 00:11:21.159 - the health field. I don't like the sight of blood, so I don't want to be a nurse or a doctor. And they 00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:26.878 - find out these things through exploring, engaging, and through experiences. 00:11:27.554 --> 00:11:38.992 - on the junior high, a big program and that's pages 12 and 13. A big part of the program we have to junior 00:11:38.992 --> 00:11:49.782 - high is edge media. And you'll see some of those pictures, top corner page 13, you'll see where the 00:11:49.782 --> 00:11:54.206 - students are interviewing an individual. 00:11:55.426 --> 00:12:06.227 - and recording that interview and putting that into a final product. The Ellisville Chamber of Commerce 00:12:06.227 --> 00:12:16.923 - does, we do the awards every year, annual awards, and the people who are giving those awards, there's 00:12:16.923 --> 00:12:24.158 - a video made of them. Our junior high kids do that. Today, I was at, 00:12:24.290 --> 00:12:32.428 - We had our awards ceremonies at the junior high. I made every awards ceremony except for K-5 group. 00:12:32.428 --> 00:12:41.299 - I was all of them. I had to hustle, but I made all of them. But you'll see in the gym, you saw the students, 00:12:41.299 --> 00:12:49.843 - you saw parents, you saw the teachers and the principals giving out the awards. But up in the bleachers, 00:12:49.843 --> 00:12:54.238 - the top part of the bleachers, you saw three cameras. 00:12:55.522 --> 00:13:06.564 - who were recording the award ceremony for folks that couldn't be there. And who do you think was doing 00:13:06.564 --> 00:13:17.499 - the recording? Junior high students themselves. They're the ones who are gonna put that together into 00:13:17.499 --> 00:13:24.574 - a nice video for parents and grandparents. So on pages 14 and 15, 00:13:25.954 --> 00:13:37.337 - is the high school. And you'll see where it shows some pictures about students attending job fairs, 00:13:37.337 --> 00:13:48.038 - attending an opportunity to meet with companies so they can enter into an internship program. 00:13:48.038 --> 00:13:53.502 - And job fairs, they've been around for a while. 00:13:53.922 --> 00:14:01.473 - And that's kind of how we've always, schools have always done it. They've had a day where they invite 00:14:01.473 --> 00:14:08.950 - companies in and the students go around and they talk to each of the businesses to learn about their 00:14:08.950 --> 00:14:16.353 - career. And that's great and we still do that, but at Edgewood we're taking that a step further and 00:14:16.353 --> 00:14:19.166 - we're giving them actual experiences. 00:14:19.906 --> 00:14:31.354 - And one of those that we've talked about before is our coffee corral, our coffee shop that is the business 00:14:31.354 --> 00:14:42.694 - model was created by students. We have three managers who run the business and they make tough decisions. 00:14:42.694 --> 00:14:46.974 - I think I've mentioned this before, but 00:14:47.810 --> 00:14:56.620 - I'm not a big coffee drinker, so I kind of took on one of their other products, a smoothie. And so every 00:14:56.620 --> 00:15:05.262 - time I'd go over to the coffee shop, they'd make me a smoothie. And then one day I went over there and 00:15:05.262 --> 00:15:12.478 - was off the menu. How can you take your superintendents' favorite drink off the menu? 00:15:12.866 --> 00:15:22.105 - Well, they had done a cost analysis and determined that the cost of fruit made it something they couldn't 00:15:22.105 --> 00:15:30.908 - be profitable for, and they replaced it with something else called a bubble drink. A bubble drink is 00:15:30.908 --> 00:15:39.623 - just like, well, it could be lemonade and fruit and bubbles, they put them in. Favorite bubbles. My 00:15:39.623 --> 00:15:42.238 - favorite drink now, actually. 00:15:42.754 --> 00:15:57.204 - Last year when I was here, I believe that I reported that the students last year had achieved over $30,000 00:15:57.204 --> 00:16:10.708 - in sales. This year, they exceeded 50,000. So this is a student-run business in high school selling 00:16:10.708 --> 00:16:12.734 - enough product 00:16:12.866 --> 00:16:22.921 - to have $50,000 in sales. And they hustled to do that. They're at all of our events, ball game or play 00:16:22.921 --> 00:16:32.780 - or musical. Our coffee shop is open and they're taking orders. So there's more in this magazine that 00:16:32.780 --> 00:16:41.566 - I could share with you, but we really wanted to put something together to tell our story. 00:16:43.874 --> 00:16:52.146 - We live in a day and age where, especially Monroe County and especially where Edgewood schools are located, 00:16:52.146 --> 00:16:59.881 - there's a lot of competition for students. And a school has to tell their story and then leave it up 00:16:59.881 --> 00:17:07.770 - to the parents to decide, yeah, I like that story, that's where I want my kids to go. Everybody should 00:17:07.770 --> 00:17:13.438 - be doing that. It's just very informative to parents and parents can make 00:17:13.858 --> 00:17:22.840 - better decisions knowing what's going on at each of our schools. But there's also Bob Martin, right? 00:17:22.840 --> 00:17:31.911 - Is it Bob? Richard. Richard Martin. Sorry. Sorry, Richard, if you're listening. But Richard is always 00:17:31.911 --> 00:17:41.338 - somebody who wanted to have some, you know, where is this all getting us? How is this making a difference 00:17:41.338 --> 00:17:43.294 - in the lives of kids? 00:17:44.738 --> 00:17:53.741 - And I can tell you that we have some very solid evidence. So as long as I've been superintendent, 00:17:53.741 --> 00:18:02.376 - you know, the Monroe County has every year two Lilly scholarship awards. As long as I've been 00:18:02.376 --> 00:18:11.654 - a superintendent, which is from 2000, Edgewood has never even had, we've had some in the top 10, but 00:18:11.654 --> 00:18:14.686 - never anybody who got the award. 00:18:15.170 --> 00:18:24.250 - This year, we not only got, one of our students got one of the awards, but two of our students got the 00:18:24.250 --> 00:18:33.066 - two awards, a little scholarship awards. And I believe the reason is they had a story to tell. They 00:18:33.066 --> 00:18:41.881 - had an opportunity to tell about experiences. One of them is one of the managers of the coffee shop 00:18:41.881 --> 00:18:44.702 - and our valedictorian actually. 00:18:45.250 --> 00:18:53.648 - She was supposed to come when we were supposed to meet in April. She was going to come to that. And 00:18:53.648 --> 00:19:02.381 - that meeting got canceled, I think. And then I tried to get her to come tonight, but this is tomorrow's 00:19:02.381 --> 00:19:10.863 - last day of school. She had other commitments. She couldn't make it. But the interview is a very key 00:19:10.863 --> 00:19:13.214 - part of winning that award. 00:19:14.530 --> 00:19:22.537 - And I was given some guidance a few years back that our students at Edgewood needed to do a better job 00:19:22.537 --> 00:19:30.700 - in those interviews happening now because they have something real, real experiences that they're living 00:19:30.700 --> 00:19:38.630 - to tell about. They're not just saying, you know, hey, I have a business mind or I have the skills to 00:19:38.630 --> 00:19:42.206 - be, to go into this Kelly School of Business. 00:19:43.042 --> 00:19:51.863 - They actually are already developing those skills. They have those skills, and they can prove it by 00:19:51.863 --> 00:20:00.772 - their experiences. We have many more direct admits into the Kelly School of Business. And so this is 00:20:00.772 --> 00:20:09.592 - what we're after, is to have some really tangible impact that we're making on our students. And one 00:20:09.592 --> 00:20:12.062 - of the inserts that I added 00:20:12.610 --> 00:20:20.759 - into your magazine today that I wanted to share were just some highlights. Some of them are related 00:20:20.759 --> 00:20:29.153 - to this presentation, and some of them it's just a superintendent bragging about his school. There are 00:20:29.153 --> 00:20:37.302 - lots of brag. OK. So we have an honors night at the high school where they give out awards. But the 00:20:37.302 --> 00:20:42.110 - biggest part of that night is they announced scholarships. 00:20:42.370 --> 00:20:52.398 - And Dollars for Scholars, I don't know if you ever heard of Dollars for Scholars, but it's an organization 00:20:52.398 --> 00:21:01.957 - in Alexville that they do a 5K run to earn some money and they give out scholarships to our students. 00:21:01.957 --> 00:21:11.422 - They gave out $86,500 to our students this year. And that comes from other volunteers, other donors. 00:21:12.162 --> 00:21:21.479 - not only just folks that participate in the 5K, but people, local businesses that just want to give 00:21:21.479 --> 00:21:31.728 - back to the school. But the total amount, so this would be for everything, scholarships that the universities 00:21:31.728 --> 00:21:40.766 - are giving out, dollars for scholars, other types of scholarships. But this year, it was $1,901, 00:21:41.986 --> 00:21:52.312 - One almost two million dollars. How about that 1.9 million? Yeah, it's cool. 1.9. Yeah, how many students? 00:21:52.312 --> 00:22:02.541 - Around 200 a little less than 200 this year, I think. So as I mentioned, we have two high school students 00:22:02.541 --> 00:22:11.902 - who earn the little scholarship. The marching Mustangs this year won another state championship. 00:22:12.994 --> 00:22:22.914 - Unfortunately, 80% of schools in Indiana are in declining enrollment, and we are not. We have a slow, 00:22:22.914 --> 00:22:32.639 - steady growth going on, and a positive enrollment trend. So we're in that 20% of schools in Indiana 00:22:32.639 --> 00:22:42.462 - that are growing. We're continuing to add quality staff, teachers, administrators, quality programs. 00:22:42.594 --> 00:22:51.776 - I talk to you about our graduate profile, internship programs. I talk to you about the student-run 00:22:51.776 --> 00:23:01.143 - businesses. So a few years ago, we started into a process called high reliability schools. And there 00:23:01.143 --> 00:23:10.418 - are five levels to that. And it's basically creating a way of thinking that you're using data to be 00:23:10.418 --> 00:23:11.902 - in a continuous 00:23:12.322 --> 00:23:20.555 - mode of improvement. You're always trying to improve and you're using data to improve in those areas. 00:23:20.555 --> 00:23:29.111 - Level one is really talking about school cultures, talking about school safety, and so all of our schools 00:23:29.111 --> 00:23:37.587 - this year achieved level one. Levels two and three are curriculum and instruction, and that's what we're 00:23:37.587 --> 00:23:38.878 - working on now. 00:23:39.202 --> 00:23:48.570 - That's where real improvement is going to come from is using that data to try to get better. We're improving 00:23:48.570 --> 00:23:57.422 - our facilities. At the high school, we expanded the kitchen and the cafeteria. And I don't know if you 00:23:57.422 --> 00:24:06.102 - remember school lunches when you were a kid, but there was one item usually. You like it? Ate it? If 00:24:06.102 --> 00:24:08.766 - you didn't, you didn't eat it. 00:24:08.962 --> 00:24:18.704 - I mean, that's the way it was. Now, if you walk into our high school kitchen, there are so many different 00:24:18.704 --> 00:24:28.079 - types of food that's available. Alibar, there's pizza, there's just all very healthy. We have a chef, 00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:37.086 - actually, that works with our kids to help them to learn about tasting food and trying new foods. 00:24:37.474 --> 00:24:46.804 - So that chef is really helping students to learn that, hey, maybe I do like broccoli or maybe I do like 00:24:46.804 --> 00:24:55.864 - tomatoes or healthy foods. They don't even know it's in the product or the food that they're eating. 00:24:55.864 --> 00:25:06.270 - I mentioned to our early childhood center, we opened up a new field house. Field house has three basketball courts. 00:25:06.594 --> 00:25:18.454 - has a walking track and sports shoes in it. We have been pretty much it's booked solid by students using 00:25:18.454 --> 00:25:30.426 - the field house. Some of our projects that are coming up will be this summer putting turf on our baseball 00:25:30.426 --> 00:25:32.798 - and softball fields. 00:25:32.994 --> 00:25:42.962 - We're expanding the band and choir rooms at the junior high and high school, making them larger for 00:25:42.962 --> 00:25:53.230 - our students. The Life Sciences Biomedical Lab that we're building, this is a whole project that we're 00:25:53.230 --> 00:26:00.606 - partnering with IU Health, Cook Medical, Boston Scientific, and Ivy Tech. 00:26:00.930 --> 00:26:11.027 - provide an opportunity for those companies to send their own people onto our campus and to train our 00:26:11.027 --> 00:26:21.125 - students in the biomedical fields. And so biomedical labs that we're creating will include on a much 00:26:21.125 --> 00:26:30.622 - smaller scale than the IU, I don't know if you ever gone through the sim lab at the IU Health, 00:26:30.722 --> 00:26:41.646 - but where the students practice their medical skills. Going to have a lab like that in the facility. 00:26:41.646 --> 00:26:52.678 - And the Boston Scientific Cook Medical, like I said, they'll be sending folks into our high school to 00:26:52.678 --> 00:27:00.574 - provide skills to our students. Now, it's not only providing the skills, 00:27:02.786 --> 00:27:10.985 - experiences for our students, but it's also building relationships with those folks from Boston Scientific 00:27:10.985 --> 00:27:18.877 - and Cook Medical. A lot of times students, all they know is they drive by this building that says Cook 00:27:18.877 --> 00:27:26.616 - Medical or Boston Scientific, IU Health. They drive by, they don't necessarily have a clue that that 00:27:26.616 --> 00:27:29.758 - Sunday could be an opportunity for them. 00:27:30.018 --> 00:27:37.965 - So by building that relationship and say Brad's from Boston Scientific and he's coming into my classroom 00:27:37.965 --> 00:27:46.063 - on a weekly basis and I'm building a relationship with Brad and then when I get to graduate I know exactly 00:27:46.063 --> 00:27:54.161 - what Boston Scientific could offer me. I could go to Boston Scientific and get a job and then that company 00:27:54.161 --> 00:27:56.734 - will then pay for me if I want to 00:27:56.834 --> 00:28:06.515 - expand and become a nurse or a doctor or a scientist of some sort, they'll pay for that education. And 00:28:06.515 --> 00:28:16.291 - so the whole idea is being a direct link from high school to our local businesses. And believe me, once 00:28:16.291 --> 00:28:25.502 - we get this model going, then we have it successful, then we can expand it to other companies and 00:28:25.634 --> 00:28:36.935 - develop partnerships with them and provide that link to future employees. And that's what our internship 00:28:36.935 --> 00:28:48.021 - program does too. I think Smithville has had some interns. And so that's what it's all about is trying 00:28:48.021 --> 00:28:51.358 - to be a good community partner 00:28:51.490 --> 00:29:00.880 - take the funds that you guys give to us and it's so important because that pays for people to help plan 00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:09.908 - these things, help organize them and help make these things happen in the classroom first. I always 00:29:09.908 --> 00:29:18.846 - enjoy coming here because of the brag about what we do. I know we have other great schools around. 00:29:20.066 --> 00:29:31.581 - but I'm gonna brag about mine. And I think Monroe County is a great place to live because we do have 00:29:31.581 --> 00:29:43.666 - a lot of quality educational opportunities for our students throughout the county. And from public school 00:29:43.666 --> 00:29:46.174 - to Ivy Tech to IU and 00:29:48.354 --> 00:29:56.536 - It's just a great place to live and great opportunities. And if anybody out there is listening to this 00:29:56.536 --> 00:30:04.638 - presentation and they'd like to have a tour of our schools, I'd be glad to set that up. If any of you 00:30:04.638 --> 00:30:12.820 - would like to come, I was thinking today, I didn't know if we could ever have a meeting like this over 00:30:12.820 --> 00:30:18.142 - on our campus someday. Just an idea. Next year, I do plan to bring 00:30:18.530 --> 00:30:26.001 - more of our students. I've been giving this presentation for several years now. I think it's time to 00:30:26.001 --> 00:30:33.769 - listen to our students. I want to bring some of those students over with me. I would say we could notice 00:30:33.769 --> 00:30:41.388 - the meetings to happen in your facility. You could do that and then either before or after to give you 00:30:41.388 --> 00:30:46.270 - a quick tour. Have the coffee shop kids provide you your favorite 00:30:46.594 --> 00:30:58.078 - coffee or smoothie and while they do smoothies to the superintendent's drink which is a strawberry lemonade 00:30:58.078 --> 00:31:08.924 - bubble drink do a quick before they take it off the menu yeah they have a they have something to call 00:31:08.924 --> 00:31:15.198 - play it forward and so some of the athletes will they will 00:31:16.322 --> 00:31:25.074 - I have a picture taken. It'll do a little marketing spill with the student's favorite drink. And if 00:31:25.074 --> 00:31:34.263 - somebody in the school orders that drink, then a certain portion of the funds from paying for that drink 00:31:34.263 --> 00:31:43.365 - will go to the local sports league. So it's kind of like the kids came to me one day and wanted to know 00:31:43.365 --> 00:31:46.078 - if they could do the NIL deal. 00:31:46.498 --> 00:31:59.552 - And I said, no, I can't do that. Back then, you couldn't. And so they came up with this idea of where 00:31:59.552 --> 00:32:12.606 - they could promote the coffee shop, but also make a donation to the local sports league. That's good. 00:32:12.606 --> 00:32:16.190 - Richard, listening to this. 00:32:16.578 --> 00:32:23.800 - Richard is not. Richard is in a different continent. Okay. Don't tell him I called him Bob. You know, 00:32:23.800 --> 00:32:31.023 - before we wrap up, I just want to make sure everyone's aware, and I can say this, is that our current 00:32:31.023 --> 00:32:38.316 - agreement runs through the end of next year. So after the payment gets approved today, there are three 00:32:38.316 --> 00:32:44.830 - more payments left, and then the agreement expires. And I think last year we waited another 00:32:45.922 --> 00:32:52.909 - year before we started talking about maybe renewing it. So if there's an interest to renew it, I personally 00:32:52.909 --> 00:32:59.443 - would rather start those discussions now so that we have a lot more time to work on it than to wait, 00:32:59.443 --> 00:33:06.366 - I don't know, the last six months or whatever. But that is nothing we need to discuss today, but I thought 00:33:06.366 --> 00:33:12.836 - I'd just make sure everybody's aware of it. You let me know what we need to do to renew it. I don't 00:33:12.836 --> 00:33:15.294 - have a vote, but you know I'm for it. 00:33:16.482 --> 00:33:27.543 - I mean, I guess by statute, it's 15%. I don't know off the top of my head what we'll receive for you. 00:33:27.543 --> 00:33:38.713 - Yes, as values went up, no county. Those years go by fast. I didn't realize we were so close to. Well, 00:33:38.713 --> 00:33:44.894 - that's why I brought it up. Well, it's been a few years. 00:33:45.154 --> 00:33:52.886 - And I know it was only a five-year renewal, so it's like we're in year four or five, right? Yeah, it's 00:33:52.886 --> 00:34:00.467 - been used very well. Have any questions? Keep going in the right direction. Yeah, absolutely. I'm so 00:34:00.467 --> 00:34:08.499 - excited to see it from the beginning and not where you are, because I don't know how many of your students 00:34:08.499 --> 00:34:14.654 - have graduated onto other things. And they're the ones we want to hear from, too. 00:34:15.042 --> 00:34:23.271 - Yes, absolutely. Because I think we need to know where some of these young people have gone as a result 00:34:23.271 --> 00:34:31.501 - of the experiences at Edgewood. That's probably one of the biggest lessons I've learned over the years. 00:34:31.501 --> 00:34:40.126 - You know, high school students, they're very creative, they're very smart. More than sometimes we give them. 00:34:44.290 --> 00:34:52.970 - That's certainly true. I've been running into quite a few young people recently that can't believe where 00:34:52.970 --> 00:35:01.649 - it all comes from. Just fantastic. But we need to give them the tools to be able to express what they've 00:35:01.649 --> 00:35:10.494 - learned. Yeah, keep going. Thank you for coming and showing us. Thanks for having me. Here's the next one. 00:35:12.098 --> 00:35:19.899 - put it in the commissioner's office. Well, Jeff, you and I can get together and figure out when this 00:35:19.899 --> 00:35:27.931 - will come over. And like I said, just look for, you know, August or September, you know, because that's 00:35:27.931 --> 00:35:35.886 - generally when we do the presentations, the presentation in August or September, that to me would make 00:35:35.886 --> 00:35:39.902 - the most sense. So it's easier for your students to 00:35:40.002 --> 00:35:49.331 - to meet up and be there, and we could notice it any time. I mean, is that timeframe work for everyone? 00:35:49.331 --> 00:35:58.751 - I would say if we could plan on September. September? And maybe talk about the renewal. Mm-hmm. Because 00:35:58.751 --> 00:36:07.989 - there's a lot of programs that are impacted by this. Right. Mm-hmm. I try to bring back, like, I just 00:36:07.989 --> 00:36:09.982 - saw one of our former 00:36:10.210 --> 00:36:18.293 - managers of the coffee shop who's now first year at IU Kelley School of Business, have them, former 00:36:18.293 --> 00:36:26.698 - students come back who are now in college and say, you know, how did this help me? Yeah, because that's 00:36:26.698 --> 00:36:34.781 - what it's all about. That's why we're doing it, and I think that would be fantastic. I just want to 00:36:34.781 --> 00:36:38.014 - tell you guys I appreciate each of you. 00:36:42.370 --> 00:36:50.874 - I came to Edgewood in 2017, twice a year since then. So one of my favorite things to do is come. So 00:36:50.874 --> 00:36:59.463 - in September, we'll have you come over. That'd be good. All right. Thank you. Jeff, you just have to 00:36:59.463 --> 00:37:08.393 - make notice of where we're going to have our meeting. And I'll work with school. It seems pretty obvious 00:37:08.393 --> 00:37:11.454 - to me that they have the technology 00:37:11.586 --> 00:37:18.589 - that we probably don't need to bring anything with us as far as the cameras and the mics and all that 00:37:18.589 --> 00:37:25.593 - kind of stuff. I'll get started on that with our director of technology tomorrow. Oh, good. That'd be 00:37:25.593 --> 00:37:33.008 - great. Would it be communication work? Yeah, we do all of our regular board meetings and our work sessions. 00:37:33.008 --> 00:37:40.286 - They're streamed a lot using CAS. Of our tech guys talk to their tech guys and work out all those kind of 00:37:41.474 --> 00:37:52.712 - that I know nothing about. All right, thank you, guys. Good luck. Continue the work. Jeff, who's supposed 00:37:52.712 --> 00:38:03.631 - to be chair, he or me? I think Colin's vice president. Your vice president, Joe, you need to chair the 00:38:03.631 --> 00:38:08.190 - meeting. Okay, I get to chair the meeting. 00:38:09.826 --> 00:38:16.186 - Okay. Well, it is I think we have a couple sets of minutes. I think the next thing on the agenda, if 00:38:16.186 --> 00:38:22.609 - you need it, is the excess assessed value. You kind of wanted me to introduce those. I'd be more than 00:38:22.609 --> 00:38:28.968 - happy to. At the last meeting we had our annual reports and as we went through our annual reports we 00:38:28.968 --> 00:38:35.391 - talked about things such as what are our revenues going to be like, what are our expenses going to be 00:38:35.391 --> 00:38:39.358 - like, what do we have in our plans, and then we always ask our 00:38:39.746 --> 00:38:46.639 - consultant, whether we have any excess assessed value. To this point, we've never, he's always recommended 00:38:46.639 --> 00:38:53.080 - that we do not have any excess assessed value, and I'm just gonna go through the four TIF districts 00:38:53.080 --> 00:38:59.586 - and kind of explain the justifications for that, and if you have any questions, I will do my best to 00:38:59.586 --> 00:39:06.028 - answer it based upon my memory of our last meeting. The Westside TIF district, we're currently been 00:39:06.028 --> 00:39:08.798 - very low on our cash since when we did the 00:39:09.986 --> 00:39:17.937 - connection of Vernal Pike to Gates Drive. That project was a very expensive project for us, and we got 00:39:17.937 --> 00:39:26.196 - a lot of federal funding for it, which was great, but that had our cash balance very low. We are beginning 00:39:26.196 --> 00:39:34.533 - to do the Curry reconstruction project, and this is also the TIF district that pays for the RBCSC contract, 00:39:34.533 --> 00:39:38.238 - as well as purchasing a fire truck for Richland 00:39:39.586 --> 00:39:46.979 - Township Ellitsville, their combined fire program. And so the recommendation for this is that we need 00:39:46.979 --> 00:39:54.661 - to maintain our revenue in there so we can continue to do phase two and phase three. And I can't remember 00:39:54.661 --> 00:40:01.981 - if there's a phase four of Curry Pike reconstruction. So those are kind of the things that are going 00:40:01.981 --> 00:40:09.374 - to utilize that funds for the next few years. There's also some trail projects in the fifth district. 00:40:10.146 --> 00:40:18.904 - The State Road 46 corridor TIF district we currently and the hope is within this year or next year the 00:40:18.904 --> 00:40:27.407 - Hunter Valley Road project will be construction and so the money that we are collecting now will go 00:40:27.407 --> 00:40:35.230 - to pay for the debt associated with that project once it gets moving and that's the the big 00:40:35.522 --> 00:40:43.341 - the big project there and the reason we need to, and right now it also is not generating a ton, it's 00:40:43.341 --> 00:40:51.083 - generating based upon a couple of businesses, otherwise it's mostly open ground. Fullerton Pike TIF 00:40:51.083 --> 00:40:58.980 - district, we have half the revenue in that TIF district sent, designated for the Fullerton Pike phase 00:40:58.980 --> 00:41:03.006 - three debt, which along with the major bridge fund, 00:41:03.522 --> 00:41:11.556 - Again, this TIF district does not raise a ton of revenue, and the fear with this TIF district has always 00:41:11.556 --> 00:41:19.438 - been if the main taxpayer, which is the hospital, Monroe Hospital, if it went not-for-profit, then the 00:41:19.438 --> 00:41:27.090 - revenue would even decrease even more. And so the final one is the Curry Profile TIF district. This 00:41:27.090 --> 00:41:32.446 - is the old G building, and we still have debt on it that we owe Cook. 00:41:33.410 --> 00:41:40.601 - a startup that didn't really work out in right before covid we had a bond issue we did we have the issuance 00:41:40.601 --> 00:41:47.459 - cost which is all we've had and then covid hit and everything with that property changed now it's gone 00:41:47.459 --> 00:41:54.184 - a new direction so we don't expect that bond to be utilized but i think we still have about 10 to 15 00:41:54.184 --> 00:42:01.308 - thousand left and so we'd like to get the revenue generated so that we could pay that off and then explore 00:42:01.308 --> 00:42:02.174 - what else we 00:42:02.274 --> 00:42:09.718 - we want to do with that funding, which may include helping with the reconstruction of Curry Pike. And 00:42:09.718 --> 00:42:17.236 - so those are kind of the four statistics we have. That's kind of the justifications as we went through 00:42:17.236 --> 00:42:24.680 - last month, or no, two months ago now, as to why we do not have any excess assessed value. Well, it's 00:42:24.680 --> 00:42:31.614 - always nice to have access, but I would rather that we stay in balance, whether it's excess or 00:42:32.034 --> 00:42:41.489 - I don't want, if we don't have to have any debt. I got a question on, and I think it pertains to the 00:42:41.489 --> 00:42:51.225 - West side. I've been reading that BT had been looking at putting their operation facility there. That's 00:42:51.225 --> 00:42:57.310 - a nonprofit, correct? Correct. Which is that? I didn't get that. 00:42:57.538 --> 00:43:04.135 - Blooming's transit operation. Okay, they're going there. I hadn't seen that. Well, there had been discussion 00:43:04.135 --> 00:43:10.308 - about that and I don't know if that's... I had heard they were going somewhere where the old ABB site 00:43:10.308 --> 00:43:16.360 - was, but I've never seen anything official. Okay. I don't see anything either. I've heard it enough 00:43:16.360 --> 00:43:22.775 - to think it's true. How about that? Okay. Yeah. Where the caterpillar's at? Her right side? Right across, 00:43:22.775 --> 00:43:25.438 - yeah. And her down. But the impact would be 00:43:27.042 --> 00:43:36.598 - It would have an impact, correct? It just wouldn't grow, right? I don't think it would reduce revenue. 00:43:36.598 --> 00:43:45.876 - Typically vacant ground is with the base, right? There may be a little bit there, but typically you 00:43:45.876 --> 00:43:55.710 - wouldn't expect it to have a huge role in reducing current revenues. It's just the growth in the revenue. 00:43:59.298 --> 00:44:07.608 - I'm curious about that. Are there any other questions or discussion regarding any of these? I would 00:44:07.608 --> 00:44:16.499 - like to make a motion that we accept the evaluation resolution for Westside TIF, State Board 46, Fullerton 00:44:16.499 --> 00:44:24.725 - Pike, and the Curry TIF. Do I have a second? That was for approving the four resolutions, correct? 00:44:24.725 --> 00:44:27.966 - All four, yes. Any further discussion? 00:44:29.282 --> 00:44:42.513 - please call the roll. Commissioner McCarty. Yes. Commissioner. Yes. Mr. Jones. Yes. Commissioner Cassidy. 00:44:42.513 --> 00:44:54.122 - Yes. Motion is approved four to zero. All right. Moving to the minutes. I see Randy Cassidy. 00:44:54.122 --> 00:44:58.366 - There he is. We have minutes from 00:44:59.298 --> 00:45:06.708 - February 18th. I still owe you guys the March meetings. I just haven't gotten those pulled together. 00:45:06.708 --> 00:45:13.751 - It's been a busy couple of months. You're just not being quiet around here? We get sidetracked. 00:45:13.751 --> 00:45:21.235 - And honestly, I thought I did them before the last meeting. And then I looked for them last week. And 00:45:21.235 --> 00:45:27.838 - I'm like, oh, I didn't. So that was part of it as well. OK, that's fine. Pure negligence. 00:45:28.802 --> 00:45:38.225 - We have these, so any comments, any corrections or amendments that need to be made to the minutes from 00:45:38.225 --> 00:45:47.466 - February 18th, 2026? February 18th? February 18th, 2026, yes. If not, we'll entertain a motion to. I 00:45:47.466 --> 00:45:57.438 - move that we approve the February 18th. Second? Second. All right, call the roll. Commissioner McCarty. Yes. 00:45:58.658 --> 00:46:10.907 - Commissioner Jones? Yes. Commissioner Cassidy? Yes. Motion is approved, four to zero. And did we have 00:46:10.907 --> 00:46:24.478 - April? No. We did not have an April meeting. Okay, thank you. All right. So moving along to claims and to April. 00:46:26.434 --> 00:46:34.131 - Or do we need to put them all together? The May claims includes April and Mays, so we just need the 00:46:34.131 --> 00:46:41.982 - approval of the May claims. Okay. I do have a question in regards to the flagging and really what all 00:46:41.982 --> 00:46:49.910 - that entails. Lisa's not here, but. Which one? That's from May. That's the $96,000 to Indiana Railroad 00:46:49.910 --> 00:46:53.758 - Company. Oh yeah, okay. Standing to the overpass. 00:46:57.954 --> 00:47:08.135 - and it was flagging, and the documentation, she didn't go all the way back to the original project, 00:47:08.135 --> 00:47:18.622 - which, okay, that's fine, but I'm curious as to what all that entails for that amount. So, we can save 00:47:18.622 --> 00:47:27.582 - that question. I'm not sure I'm able to answer that one. Yeah, okay. Which one is that? 00:47:28.802 --> 00:47:50.558 - The fourth one down, so it's in May. It's the $96,000 one. Oh, okay, I see it. Spot that. So we will 00:47:50.558 --> 00:47:56.158 - save that for Lisa Ridge. 00:47:57.026 --> 00:48:05.181 - Lisa I'm sure can answer that question. She did sign off on that and everything looks in order so I'm 00:48:05.181 --> 00:48:13.495 - not questioning that. Yeah it would be nice to know what the inclusive items on that were if Lisa could 00:48:13.495 --> 00:48:21.729 - get that to us. Yes yeah yeah and if Jeff and if you would make a note too to just ask Lisa to forward 00:48:21.729 --> 00:48:26.846 - that on. Just a summary of all that was included in that. Yeah. 00:48:27.426 --> 00:48:35.904 - That's the hunter sighting overpass that says here. Yes. But it's, you know, okay. But within that, 00:48:35.904 --> 00:48:44.551 - that's just. That's a lot of money. Yeah. And I, I like in a railroad, I like Bernie guarantees, but, 00:48:44.551 --> 00:48:53.199 - uh, sometimes things come up that in our business from the railroad, it boy, that seems expensive. So 00:48:53.199 --> 00:48:55.742 - that's all I'm curious about. 00:48:57.346 --> 00:49:12.056 - Other than that, everything seems to be in order, so. Any other questions on claims? April, May. This 00:49:12.056 --> 00:49:26.910 - is the total of $202,095.73. Yes. I will read them. Repro graphics for $390. RP STEM program 10669465. 00:49:27.586 --> 00:49:44.715 - Hummel Electric Incorporated, $1,590.08. Indiana Railroad Company, $96,021. And Financial Solutions, 00:49:44.715 --> 00:49:56.926 - $17,400, with a grand total of $222,000. Let me say it again, $222,195. 00:49:57.122 --> 00:50:07.032 - point 73 total. Sorry. Okay. I must guess second. And I'll move that claim. Okay. We have a motion. 00:50:07.032 --> 00:50:17.339 - Is there a second? Move. Second? Or was that a motion? Second. Harris, was that your motion? Yes. Okay. 00:50:17.339 --> 00:50:26.654 - So Mike, Mike seconds. Second. Okay. All right. Okay. Mr. Conklin. Commissioner McCarty. Yes. 00:50:26.754 --> 00:50:39.062 - Yes. Commissioner Jones. Yes. Commissioner Cassidy. Yes. Motion is approved, four to zero. Okay. Thank 00:50:39.062 --> 00:50:51.250 - you very much. Five things. That was all for clay, is correct. That's what we have. I think so. Okay. 00:50:51.250 --> 00:50:56.030 - All right. At this time, staff comment. 00:50:57.154 --> 00:51:06.261 - I think Lisa emailed you guys some comments that she had, and so I don't remember what. I don't remember 00:51:06.261 --> 00:51:15.109 - either, I saw. Yeah, I yeah, I think we're just. We're gearing up to do the. Very Pike reconstruction 00:51:15.109 --> 00:51:23.262 - phase one and that is going to happen this year and so that's I think the big the big update. 00:51:23.394 --> 00:51:32.872 - She is going to, she has it scheduled so that it's not totally closed at any one period of time, but 00:51:32.872 --> 00:51:42.445 - it's going to be restricted for a longer period of time, which is choices you have. I think it's from 00:51:42.445 --> 00:51:50.046 - city limits to the intersection with 48. So it's south of 48 to the city limits. 00:51:53.218 --> 00:52:08.557 - run by SEMTRA and the IU or the BMV. So it's where the city limits I think is where it goes from four 00:52:08.557 --> 00:52:20.286 - lanes to two lanes to two lanes. So everything over there is phase one. Okay. 00:52:28.418 --> 00:52:44.355 - It's it's on the council's of meeting agenda for Tuesday. And so that's what's on the agenda. That's 00:52:44.355 --> 00:52:53.822 - a second reading. That's the same kind of like farms. Yeah. 00:52:57.218 --> 00:53:08.054 - didn't are aware that yes yeah that's the ones yeah okay any anything on 100 Valley Road that you've 00:53:08.054 --> 00:53:18.890 - heard Jeff last I heard is that mr. Kreider says they missed their ability to move trees for the bat 00:53:18.890 --> 00:53:26.078 - season and so it's gonna start up in October okay or whenever that 00:53:27.170 --> 00:53:44.410 - There's two days of the year that really are important with that, and we know, too. All right. Any comment 00:53:44.410 --> 00:53:54.078 - from our sitting council member? I'll be voting on Tuesday. 00:53:55.970 --> 00:54:06.995 - So it's a long time ago. Okay. Mr. Comments. I have none right now. Okay. Randy Cassidy. Well, 00:54:06.995 --> 00:54:18.948 - we're good. Uh, one standard standards to keep up the good work. Mr. Mike Jones. I enjoyed commission. 00:54:18.948 --> 00:54:23.358 - So Sanders presentation. Great stuff. 00:54:26.658 --> 00:54:32.977 - for letting Dr. Sanders share tonight, and there's a lot of exciting things going on at RVB way. Looking 00:54:32.977 --> 00:54:39.116 - forward to starting a new construction on the band and choir this summer. Good. Good. Yeah, the field 00:54:39.116 --> 00:54:45.376 - house looks fantastic on the outside, and I've been in it, but it's wow. Yeah, it's amazing. Yeah, it's 00:54:45.376 --> 00:54:51.514 - over utilized already. It's used a lot, they said. That's cool. That's great. That's what you want to 00:54:51.514 --> 00:54:53.982 - see happen. So Herman Farms is starting. 00:54:57.378 --> 00:55:05.338 - outside the school corporation. I've snuck in there. It's nice. Yeah, that'll be exciting. Yeah, that's 00:55:05.338 --> 00:55:13.068 - our ship with the town. It was great on that road to. It certainly is, and it will literally open up 00:55:13.068 --> 00:55:20.799 - a lot. Yeah, so it's it's a great development. And I don't mean to beat this dead horse, but because 00:55:20.799 --> 00:55:24.702 - I pulled it up on my phone, I was looking for this 00:55:25.122 --> 00:55:32.353 - update on Curry Pike from Lisa Ridge, and this came up on the flagging. The railroad invoices for flagging 00:55:32.353 --> 00:55:39.314 - services during the Vermil Pike Sunrise Greetings Connector project, just to clarify, and I think what 00:55:39.314 --> 00:55:46.071 - a couple of us were after is just, you know, that's a lot of flagging services. So we just want to, 00:55:46.071 --> 00:55:53.302 - yeah, give a summary of that. Great presentation by Dr. Sanders. I think that the STEM money is definitely 00:55:53.302 --> 00:55:54.654 - a great investment. 00:55:54.754 --> 00:56:03.772 - And the partnerships that they're forming, they're working on are meaningful. And for disclosure, our 00:56:03.772 --> 00:56:12.347 - youngest will be a freshman at Edgewood High School. So yes, I'm very interested in negotiation, 00:56:12.347 --> 00:56:21.630 - renegotiating of renewals. So it's all great stuff. It has come so far, just really even in my lifetime, 00:56:22.914 --> 00:56:31.354 - A little before that, there was a referendum on the two districts unifying back in the day. 00:56:31.354 --> 00:56:40.802 - And RBB won over. So yeah, it's amazing the progress that's been made. And I think Dr. Sanders has put 00:56:40.802 --> 00:56:50.526 - together a good team around him. And I'm sure they're hard to keep, I'm sure. But he's doing a great job. 00:56:52.930 --> 00:57:01.699 - are there a fair amount of uh students within bloomington that uh and uh to edwood high school yeah 00:57:01.699 --> 00:57:10.644 - it'd be good to get a count i i think there are a few i don't know exactly what that number is i mean 00:57:10.644 --> 00:57:20.290 - that's any student's option quite a few from mineral county and anilwood county to come by the transportation 00:57:20.290 --> 00:57:21.342 - right right 00:57:23.330 --> 00:57:32.148 - Yep, I mean, I'm biased, but every student, everybody knows our names. It's not that big that your number, 00:57:32.148 --> 00:57:40.800 - which is awesome. Where I moved here from, we had a school district we lived in. Right. Near South Bend, 00:57:40.800 --> 00:57:49.288 - and so we had a. Right, right. More than we could actually allow in, so. Well, yeah. Yeah, well, there 00:57:49.288 --> 00:57:51.678 - are challenges, as you said. 00:57:51.842 --> 00:57:58.495 - for other school districts, including Monroe County. But they've, RBB's weathered the storm so far. 00:57:58.495 --> 00:58:05.348 - And they're probably positioned both by size and the resources. Housing is just, I hate it. People are 00:58:05.348 --> 00:58:12.201 - living in construction zones. It's just, yeah. Prominence Point can't build fast enough. I mean, Value 00:58:12.201 --> 00:58:17.790 - Build's done a great job. And Chris Smith with Harmon Farms, it'll be the same one. 00:58:18.018 --> 00:58:25.896 - families living and art straight art straight to construction coming up down that way. Yeah, it's a 00:58:25.896 --> 00:58:33.775 - what reorganization will bring. But who knows? It's county do the school corporation we had that we 00:58:33.775 --> 00:58:41.811 - did a study how it would impact the school budget as it can't. Study I can't hear you. As the tax has 00:58:41.811 --> 00:58:47.326 - there been a tax day how it affects the taxes county versus township? 00:58:47.746 --> 00:58:55.048 - I think the county as a whole I don't think was difficult because I think the state gave us a lot of 00:58:55.048 --> 00:59:02.278 - the property tax numbers and so a lot of the a lot of the unknowns are how quickly are people going 00:59:02.278 --> 00:59:09.869 - to hit property tax caps. That's what yeah it's good it's projected to be about a half a million dollars 00:59:09.869 --> 00:59:11.966 - short for the school because 00:59:14.658 --> 00:59:22.796 - reorganization if they merge yeah it'll be a shortfall I know the school corporation yes I don't think 00:59:22.796 --> 00:59:30.776 - the county looked at merger that's what I'm wondering yeah I think with the Senate and roll that one 00:59:30.776 --> 00:59:38.757 - with that approval the claims right yeah yes but I don't but it but it's the numbers it's the income 00:59:38.757 --> 00:59:40.574 - taxes I think the more 00:59:42.754 --> 00:59:54.607 - I don't think that affects the county people in the county, right? Okay. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you 00:59:54.607 --> 01:00:02.430 - all. Okay. All those in favor, please leave. Thank you everybody.
