You have a curriculum report. 00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:48.000 I do, indeed, so today's agenda included a discussion of the act 158 graduation Requirements, and some course, Revisions in a new textbook, Regarding the Graduation Requirements from 2,018 there were some Revisions, and the Summary is that students would 00:19:48.000 --> 00:20:11.000 Have, to either pass the keystone exam. Keystone exam as either a proficient or advanced result, or have completed the course with a passing grade, if those 2 options are not met there are other other pathways, to graduation, which are actually very difficult so the student, Handbook, for next 00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:32.000 Year will emphasize the fact that those are the 2 primary means of satisfying the course requirements for English algebra, and Biology, the Alternative, Pathways include number one would be the passing of all the Exams Algebra, Literature, and Biology, Number 2, would Be a 00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:48.000 Composite, a Combined, a combined score of all 3 that would be greater than the basic requirement, the third one would be through a cte, concentrator which would be something that would be appropriate for like DC dolphin, County technical school students, based on the Experience, that they have there 00:20:48.000 --> 00:21:05.000 The fourth one would be an alternative path, utilizing other similar courses to be adjunctive to what they learned in the 3 basic ones, biology, English and algebra, the fifth one would be evidenced based on something like a job, so on on on the job type learning the 6. 00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:06.000 Means will be through an iep, and the seventh would be through a superintendent waiver. 00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:28.000 But once again, the Handbook will emphasize the importance of passing either the exam, or the course, the 4, different course Revisions, actually their 5 Course, Revisions, the first 2 were our Fitness Feature which are half Credit Courses, Fitness, Fusion, one and 2 which will Replace and Augment. 00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:47.000 The current, cardiovascular, Cardiovascular, Course, through the Physique, Department the next, 2 course, revisions would be wait Training, and Fitness, which are an Augmentation to the Care and Replacement, of the Current Strength and Conditioning, Physical Education Courses, and that would also be a one in 00:21:47.000 --> 00:22:08.000 2, version, and then the final revision would be for the community service, course which I believe, we actually revised very recently, but that is being further revised to be called Freshman Seminar and that would be a Chance to for Freshman students, to have a one Quarter and the same time block as the Health and I'm 00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:28.000 Sorry, Phys. LED. And Health, so be a one full credit course throughout the year for all Freshmen, the quarter component that is the Freshman Seminar, would focus on executive functioning organization community building, Decision-making and both self and Social Awareness, and then the one, course, Edition, would be for a 00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:35.000 Link crew, course. It would be a full credit for students who are selected to be part of link crew. 00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:54.000 The first year would be an optional course, for the students to take in order for the advisors, to gain Feedback and potentially make it required after that it would be an asynchronous course that would allow students to grant gain further leadership skills to help them be better and link crew 00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:59.000 Members all of those Revisions, and as Well, as the the new course were all approved for a 30 day review. 00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:21.000 It was 30. Day review so it'll go back to curriculum, Council, and then we would we would then send it to the full board for a vote, and then finally, there was a textbook, that was requested to be used for summer, Ela for 6 through Eighth Graders it is called a long walk to 00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:31.000 the Water by Linda Sue Park, and that was also put forth for Further Consideration in 30 days, and I think that's everything. 00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:38.000 Okay.

This is Purcell. 00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:43.000 I know we hear often the occupational tax is a relatively antiquated tax. 00:37:43.000 --> 00:37:50.000 That's somewhat you in this area to Dairy township, 00:37:50.000 --> 00:38:11.000 In another meeting, or perhaps at a finance. Could you just maybe go into some history on that and looking at you know cause that's the $250, one correct that's charged at the township, and then as well, as the the district, just to look at you know what the 00:38:11.000 --> 00:38:15.000 Impact is on on the budget, you know, for that. 00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:20.000 And if we've ever looked at ways 00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:37.000 Of maybe phasing it, or finding different I just continue to hear a lot of things, you know that it's kind of a one off random you know if antiquated, my understanding, though that it was it would it would take a it's it's a township it would it's a vote to basically to 00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:51.000 do away with it. I think the flip side of it was that this were not in place, then it would be to look at the Earn income tax rate a lot of places that do not have municipalities, townships that do not have an octax we'll have a a per 00:38:51.000 --> 00:38:56.000 capita, or most likely they're earned income taxes, not at one where to flap, 1%. 00:38:56.000 --> 00:39:12.000 If the 250 goes away, the percentage, most likely we would look to want to increase that, and then that would be that would be the offset and I believe and again not I was not here, at the time but I did hear that some point in time that did come up for a vote and it did not 00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:14.000 pay. I think, the concern probably for anyone. That was looking at a percentage increase that would actually be more than 2. 00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:23.000 50, if it were something more than a one. So that's the flip side, and we can. 00:39:23.000 --> 00:39:32.000 You know I can look back to it and understand more but that's my general understanding of why we still have the Octet. 00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:38.000 But the exemption is only $10,000. If you make less than 10,000. 12,000. 00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:46.000 So, someone, making $30,000, a year pays, the same amount of someone making half a 1 million dollars a year. 00:39:46.000 --> 00:39:48.000 Yes. 00:39:48.000 --> 00:40:05.000 I think that's probably why it it in my thinking about it is probably why it probably did not pay us at the time. 00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:23.000 Mr. Was that something you'd be interested in and exploring through 1 one of our committees or yeah, I I mean, I had asked about you know, we could look at it the finance committee, so we can have Further discussion offline, I confined to proceed thank you I have a question Miss 00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:25.000 Kathy. Do you think it's a vote between us and the township together. 00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:30.000 Or we do them separately. Like we have our 250. 00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:36.000 They have their 250 or do we do it jointly, as a I I don't know about that 00:40:36.000 --> 00:40:43.000 Same question, that 1%. Do we split that the 1%. 00:40:43.000 --> 00:41:02.000 Yeah, yes, we have 50, we split the 1,%. So I, wonder, if we're splitting a 500, or something like that 2, 50, twice a year, but once to them once to us, right right so I'm, wondering, if it's it's a joint decision, the resolution, makes it look, as though 00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:03.000 It's a tax, we levy on our own. 00:41:03.000 --> 00:41:11.000 They just also levy one. As well, I would imagine it's not a joint decision. 00:41:11.000 --> 00:41:22.000 Yeah I didn't it didn't seem to me like, it would be a joint decision. We just. It's just collected and it looks. 00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:30.000 Like the same bill, because it's coming out of the same Billing, they would. They would vote that they would want theirs and we would vote separately, that we would want ours they have an ordinance, We have a resolution. 00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:40.000 That basically, both agreements put forward, that we are doing the same type of octax collection. 00:41:40.000 --> 00:42:00.000 However, it is completely. That's completely interesting. But the issue comes in is, if you don't have that the only way to raise the 1% is a joint decision, that we Split township that would be both that's both so we we collect one off of paychecks, and it's we get 00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:18.000 Point 5. They get point 5, so, if we wanted to make up the money that we didn't collect for the $250 per person who Make over to 1,000 and increase that with that would be just said I'm saying One, individual decision one to joint decision put you in difficult situation try to make up for the Money you're 00:42:18.000 --> 00:42:28.000 Losing that would be us that would require a little more exploring I don't. I don't honestly, don't know what all is entailed with that but that would ties. 00:42:28.000 --> 00:42:46.000 Yeah, that would be a to refer to a committee for further consideration, and take up with the Joint Work Group at some point I'm just throwing that out there I Don't know I would just like to have some more understanding on the text itself like the way that we you know insure collections 00:42:46.000 --> 00:42:55.000 I know the This is something that the tax office had been collecting with keystone who collecting the Earned Income Tax. 00:42:55.000 --> 00:43:03.000 I would think that the tax roles will, you know that they'll be able to utilize those for ensuring this. 00:43:03.000 --> 00:43:04.000 But I was curious, you know how many exemptions are there. 00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:15.000 You know what what's the real impact, here, because with a flat tax of that amount, 00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:16.000 I guess my use of integrated before is looking at it. 00:43:16.000 --> 00:43:34.000 You know, it's not a scale of any sort, and that I think sometimes what I've heard in the community is that the 2, 50, and 2 50 combined, for some families has you know a much greater impact than others 00:43:34.000 --> 00:43:49.000 And is something. That I think that we should just be you know if we can't make up the difference Somewhere else, then so be it but perhaps having a proactive conversation, and understanding what that you know. Burden. 00:43:49.000 --> 00:43:50.000 Could be we're talking constantly about You know the impact with School lunches and you know, where people are hurting? 00:43:50.000 --> 00:44:07.000 And I think that it's our responsibility to make sure that we're really looking at the numbers and and seeing what the impact is on taxpayers. 00:44:07.000 --> 00:44:08.000 We can. We can talk more during budget. I know 00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:12.000 I do believe in this first year. It'll be you know. 00:44:12.000 --> 00:44:16.000 We'll need this first year of collections with keystone to really see the Impact. 00:44:16.000 --> 00:44:37.000 I do expect the tax roles to increase as a result of them, using their their system, that's all the eit, data in it they can easily identify, or more easily identified residents who are in that over $12,000,, bucket, so I I know the numbers already that they're 00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:42.000 Seeing they can probably increase our billing what goes out shall I one, by 5,000 tax bills, not dollars. 00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:47.000 So I I do expect this year will be we'll see it, and it's already it is a significant portion of our budget. 00:44:47.000 --> 00:44:55.000 That's it's probably close to 2 million dollars, I believe for Octax. 00:44:55.000 --> 00:45:06.000 Hmm, so, but we can talk more during finance, this wasn't sure. You know i'm just thinking out loud from the perspective of when we look at what the the rates are for free and reduced. 00:45:06.000 --> 00:45:23.000 Lunch and what the income per family, you know, is if maybe even seeing what the impact Tax Wise would be if we were to increase the Exemption Rate, you know, maybe trying to Relieve some Burden, off of Lower Income Families for that tax so you know if We did. 00:45:23.000 --> 00:45:27.000 That We' that missed through with the tax association. 00:45:27.000 --> 00:45:34.000 We, we raised it, but that's I think it's written in law it's probably attached to coordinates. 00:45:34.000 --> 00:45:38.000 Is my guess right. Be on the town. I remember it was a big deal. 00:45:38.000 --> 00:45:46.000 Because I really wanted it raised a lot higher, but we were only allowed to go to that ex, that other number was like twelve-five, or something we did vote on that the only thing with this conversation, that I and I think it's a good. 00:45:46.000 --> 00:46:01.000 Conversation to have is that it's not putting any more on cheryl at this, it just at this particular time, because this is just a massive undertaking. 00:46:01.000 --> 00:46:11.000 So I think if we talk about it, it should be like a future item like at least the Cup, till she gets this moved over to I agree. 00:46:11.000 --> 00:46:27.000 I don't want to put anything on Miss Purcell right now, anything that comes up with the Finance Committee. 00:46:27.000 --> 00:46:28.000 She's going to have to provide all the information. She and I work together for that agenda. 00:46:28.000 --> 00:46:36.000 I mean. It's certainly a good conversation. But yeah, again, I'm not, putting a timeframe on it We're Voting on the Occupation Tax resolution. 00:46:36.000 --> 00:46:45.000 So it felt like the Appropriate place to ask about it but it's just something. 00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:49.000 I think we should be mindful of, and you know, have future discussions on 00:46:49.000 --> 00:47:04.000 You know, maybe as we dive deeper into the budget season. And really, see, you know what that number impacts our budget for 00:47:04.000 --> 00:47:08.000 I don't know if you don't have the conversation good. Good good question. 00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:30.000 Good Day discussion, and it sounds like We'll find other places, through Committee to to explore, further and talk about it. Further, especially as we proceed with the the Budget Discussions, any other questions discussion. 00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:38.000 Okay, with that again, remember, we are in item 5 agenda 5 h. 00:47:38.000 --> 00:47:45.000 Regarding I do have one more question. Sorry. so now that we've adopted all these resolutions. 00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:51.000 And we have a new agreement, and we're not going to have a board members, sit on a tax question, committee anymore. 00:47:51.000 --> 00:47:56.000 So that's all resolved, not yet, but yes, that's the direction. 00:47:56.000 --> 00:48:13.000 It will be totally fizzled out. And you only needed that because we operated our own, but what we need would we need something in its place to deal with issues like this or is that just go to finance, I think there's cheryl's then to bring forward it would not be 00:48:13.000 --> 00:48:16.000 Another committee, or a Board, or a Delegate. 00:48:16.000 --> 00:48:27.000 It doesn't need replace it just goes back to the from business manager to Finance Committee of Needed to board okay, her relationship with case. 00:48:27.000 --> 00:48:32.000 Now, okay, to manage 00:48:32.000 --> 00:48:37.000 Okay, good discussion.

I think it was a really great community effort. 00:51:57.000 --> 00:52:17.000 And then also today, for those of you who are familiar with cocoa packs, cocoa packs, presence is being held, tomorrow and that is the day where all of the Unwrapped Gifts, that have been Donated throughout the community over the last number of weeks that the parents of children enrolled 00:52:17.000 --> 00:52:34.000 In cocoa packs will be able to to do holiday shopping, and it's a really special day and one of the components is that people bake cookies and drop them off today and those are given out as Part of that and I was dropping Off cookies this Morning and at the same Time 00:52:34.000 --> 00:52:52.000 That I was doing that it kind of took me by surprise, but saw Sarah O'brien and Eric Werfel and Victoria Massey, who are all Part of Team Twister in the Sixth Grade, at the Middle School, and the 3 of them were Delivering the Cookies, that 00:52:52.000 --> 00:52:58.000 They, along with Sarah Smith, the other teacher on their team, for 6 or 7 years. 00:52:58.000 --> 00:53:19.000 They have been working with their students to collect and have cookies, donated, and then they bring those forward and it really was just touching to see teachers digging their time I'm pretty sure that was probably their you know personal planning time you know for the day, to be able to do that knowing that hundreds 00:53:19.000 --> 00:53:27.000 Of dairy township. Students are going to benefit from this. It's just really touching to see 00:53:27.000 --> 00:53:34.000 There's often a lot of bad news, and when you look to see what our incredible teachers do, and how much good there is. 00:53:34.000 --> 00:53:44.000 And how much of themselves they put into the students, especially this Time of Year. 00:53:44.000 --> 00:54:00.000 I think sometimes that can be easily overlooked and just wanted to shine a light, and say to them that they Brighten my day to see them taking time out of theirs to to care about their Kiddos and it was appreciated 00:54:00.000 --> 00:54:11.000 Thank you mister, for sharing that any other Board members have a report 00:54:11.000 --> 00:54:16.000 Superintendent's Report, Dr. Winslow, do you have a superintendent's report. 00:54:16.000 --> 00:54:21.000 Thank you.
