WEBVTT

00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:35.000
There's gonna be more information to come for the entire board.

00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:41.000
I went over the New New Zealand that we will be publishing quarterly.

00:11:41.000 --> 00:12:02.000
That includes information about a club or a team. Articles from administrators, highlights of cocoa principles, and also just events, job opportunities and just other news going on in our district where using this as a way to engage the entire community not just parents and families but everyone in the larger

00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:11.000
Hershey, Humlestown community. We also highlighted the Golden Age Club, which is for members of our dairy township that are 65, and older.

00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:15.000
They can come in, attend regular season, sporting events, musicals, plays.

00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:18.000
They just need to come to the district office and pick up a club sorry I pick up a card, and it's completely free.

00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:33.000
So really fun opportunity for maybe some of our senior citizens to come back into the schools and see some of the fun things going on I gave some highlights about the high school internships that we will be having now.

00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:39.000
So I have one right now she's a photography internship and a senior who's doing an awesome job.

00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:47.000
And I have someone a junior who will be a senior next year who's already reached out to me for a full year internship, and she will, pending all everything she needs to get done.

00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:51.000
She'll be coming on board and learning more about social media digital communications.

00:12:51.000 --> 00:13:01.000
Graphic design web design stuff like that so excited about that excited that students are engaged and wanting to learn more about what school communication looks like.

00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:05.000
And then, lastly, we started to discuss the transition of our new website.

00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:06.000
So we're going from blackboard who is purchased by a company called Final Site.

00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:17.000
We the board had approved the contract in December, so now we're starting to do a migration, picking out layouts and stuff like that.

00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:26.000
We had a robust discussion about testing how to show the community and our parents where things are located.

00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:33.000
Now what makes the most sense logically, throughout the website we talked about clubs and teams and teacher pages.

00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:38.000
And there's a lot more to come on that there's a lot to work to still be done.

00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:41.000
I think that's it. Thank you, Miss Carpel.

00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:43.000
Mister Smith. Anything else they had, I think she covered it.

00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:54.000
Okay, thank you. And thank you, Mrs. Bevy, for the services chair of the committee up through today. Much appreciate it.

00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:58.000
Mrs. Sick, or do you have a financial report? I do thank you, Mr.

00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:09.000
Singer. We had a finance committee meeting where we got a review of our past 2021, 2022 audit by Boyer and Redder.

00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:21.000
They gave us the results that they are pleased to report that they're testing did not identify any material weakness or significant deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting.

00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:27.000
Nor did they identify any instances of non-compliance material to the financial statements.

00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:31.000
They also said so. Basically, it was a great audit.

00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:37.000
There were no uncorrected mistakes. The adjustments that were made were.

00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:42.000
Just very minor, and they were not significant to the financial reporting of the district.

00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:51.000
There were no districtagreements with management. There were no significant issues, discussed with management, and there were no significant difficulties encountered in performing the audit.

00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:58.000
So that was good news. We also review the 2023 24 budget.

00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:09.000
We looked over the budget, calendar. All the departments have submitted their budgets with a message to try to stay flat and explain any increases at our March Finance Board meeting.

00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:21.000
We will probably spend that whole meeting discussing next year's budget, and then as well in April, and give a recommendation to the Board for a May eighth final budget vote.

00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:31.000
It's good to note that the governor announces the State's budget on March seventh, so that also ties into our budget, planning as well.

00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:35.000
We did a review on Monday review of our 2223.

00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:38.000
General fund revenues and expenses, that's all.

00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:45.000
Looking on track right now. We got an update on the tax association that the employees at the Tax Association.

00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:52.000
Their last day is Friday, and Mrs. Percell is working diligently to finalize all those numbers, and that whole situation, and then we did a quick review of the contracts.

00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:57.000
The bid. Documents were on the Finance Committee.

00:15:57.000 --> 00:16:05.000
There's some of those contracts are on the meeting for tonight, and there were no questions.

00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:16.000

00:23:53.000 --> 00:24:22.000
I think you know if I remove my school board hat and look at it through the lens of a community member and parent, the the amount of recognition of employees of things happening in the classrooms, and just all the ways that around the district folks go above and beyond has really started to see

00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:27.000
a lot more light, and it's appreciated. Thank you. Best.

Hey, Dr. Winslow, do you have a superintendent's report?

I do. It's much shorter than what it was when I started.

00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:44.000
I always think I'm gonna get something, that they don't get.

00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:52.000
Hardly ever anything very what I have been kind of following here is updates for the basketball game.

So boys are currently up 2214, with 2 min left in the second quarter.

00:24:58.000 --> 00:25:02.000
So that is super exciting. So little update on that.

00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:06.000
And then I did wanna share that Samantha Stark won the rotary essay Contest.
