109
00:13:04.100 --> 00:13:11.989
DTSD Webinars: these meetings are fast in the summer. so the last meeting I was not able to make.

110
00:13:12.680 --> 00:13:20.120
DTSD Webinars: but the board voted on the bids that were submitted for the concession stand.

111
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:32.229
DTSD Webinars: and prior to the vote those bids were described as being close to the $250,000 that was put aside

112
00:13:32.520 --> 00:13:33.870
DTSD Webinars: for that project.

113
00:13:34.890 --> 00:13:40.619
DTSD Webinars: and there was no discussion on those bids at all, just just a straight up vote.

114
00:13:41.150 --> 00:13:53.320
DTSD Webinars: but the it in I might be missing something here, but the the bids that were posted on the school district's web page. For that meeting

115
00:13:53.570 --> 00:14:01.330
DTSD Webinars: there were 2 bids, one for the general construction and one for the mechanical construction combined.

116
00:14:01.420 --> 00:14:05.440
DTSD Webinars: Those bids total, $346,000.

117
00:14:08.290 --> 00:14:11.619
DTSD Webinars: $250,000 was budgeted.

118
00:14:12.680 --> 00:14:24.129
DTSD Webinars: The bids totaled $346,000 for a concession stand for the convenience of the fans at a sporting event.

119
00:14:24.930 --> 00:14:30.540
DTSD Webinars: $346,000 isn't anywhere close to $250,000.

120
00:14:31.510 --> 00:14:42.160
DTSD Webinars: How does this board justify spending $346,000 on a concession stand for the convenience of fans of the sporting event.

121
00:14:43.800 --> 00:14:56.649
DTSD Webinars: Why was there no discussion at all about the fact. How do you justify having a budget of 250, which I think is is extraordinary in itself, for for a concession stand.

122
00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:02.890
DTSD Webinars: How do you justify having the bids come in $96,000 over budget

123
00:15:03.130 --> 00:15:04.749
DTSD Webinars: and nobody says anything.

124
00:15:05.420 --> 00:15:08.730
DTSD Webinars: There's no explanation. There's no questioning it.

125
00:15:09.400 --> 00:15:16.959
DTSD Webinars: There's no discussion as we. Where are we going to find this 96,000? What what department is that going to come from?

126
00:15:17.240 --> 00:15:30.340
DTSD Webinars: 346,000? How do you justify not having a discussion on that before the vote given the opportunity? Is there any discussion before the vote? It was just crickets for like 5 s. Nobody said anything.

127
00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:32.510
DTSD Webinars: How do you justify all that?

128
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:36.260
DTSD Webinars: There, there's so many different ways

129
00:15:36.370 --> 00:15:41.549
DTSD Webinars: that you could better spend $346,000 in a session stand

130
00:15:41.800 --> 00:15:46.210
DTSD Webinars: for the enjoyment of the fans that that attend the sporting event.

131
00:15:47.320 --> 00:15:59.670
DTSD Webinars: Now, I've already talked about the fact that this this School Board has not committed any money at all to the construction of the swimming pool for your boys and girls swimming no money at all? Did you commit

132
00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:06.929
DTSD Webinars: to that pull no money at all has been committed to maintaining that pool. That's for the athletes. No money at all.

133
00:16:07.890 --> 00:16:11.910
DTSD Webinars: 346,000 for a concession stand for fans

134
00:16:13.110 --> 00:16:23.080
DTSD Webinars: now, indirectly, by not committing any money to the construction of that project. you don't have ownership of that that at all. You rent the water space.

135
00:16:23.210 --> 00:16:34.739
DTSD Webinars: so the the the township has no motivation at all to allow the swim team to put up a record board or any banner on all the numerous accomplishments that that program is done.

136
00:16:37.220 --> 00:16:38.790
DTSD Webinars: $0

137
00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:45.520
DTSD Webinars: for the swimming pool for your high school swimming team. Very accomplished program.

138
00:16:45.570 --> 00:16:50.149
DTSD Webinars: No money was contribute to the construction of that pull. That competition pull. The

139
00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:58.540
DTSD Webinars: only exists for 2 reasons, and one of them is because that's the the home of Hershey High School swimming, and it has been since the sixties, and you committed no money for that

140
00:16:59.140 --> 00:17:03.200
DTSD Webinars: but $346,000 for a concession stand.

141
00:17:03.740 --> 00:17:09.089
DTSD Webinars: and the high school uses that field for competition. What in in the fall and spring?

142
00:17:10.170 --> 00:17:16.580
DTSD Webinars: Not that that makes a difference, but that just adds onto the the craziness of it, in my opinion.

143
00:17:17.770 --> 00:17:20.699
DTSD Webinars: But how do you justify that? Thank you for the time.

144
00:17:21.130 --> 00:17:22.940
DTSD Webinars: Okay, thank you, Mr. Ferguson.

145
00:17:29.870 --> 00:17:39.789
DTSD Webinars: Mr. Ferguson. If if you did want to learn more, there's a I believe there's a form on the desk that you could fill out indicating,

146
00:17:39.880 --> 00:17:51.220
DTSD Webinars: if you did want to learn more, or have learn more about that decision and conversations that might have taken place about it. I think there's a an inquiry form on the table over there

147
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:55.479
DTSD Webinars: isn't there? I think it's on the stand here.

148
00:17:55.500 --> 00:17:59.789
DTSD Webinars: I think it's on the stand.

149
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:13.939
DTSD Webinars: It's not something we would be talking about here, back and forth with you. But it's something that you could express an interest in and learning more about what we W. What we're what we're.

150
00:18:16.580 --> 00:18:28.490
DTSD Webinars: Oh, okay, so that would have been a discussion I I would have expected would have been had during the the public meeting when the bids were presented for a vote. I mean, I can learn about this.

151
00:18:28.540 --> 00:18:56.170
DTSD Webinars: but I would have expected to learn about that. The meeting, Mr. Ferguson. This this is Maria Mammy over here we've and I'm not expecting you to know this, but we've been talking about the concession stamp for many years. We've had a lot of discussions in general services. so I think. Unfortunately, when it got to that point, it just looked like you, said crickets. But I mean, we have had hundreds of hours of discussions and an open transparent, but I would be more than happy to meet with you with Dr. Winslow and Cheryl

152
00:18:56.170 --> 00:19:17.149
DTSD Webinars: to really go through all of the things that you just, I mean, there's an we can have a discussion about every point that you basically touched on. So if you leave your email. Maybe we could set up a time to meet. Yeah, I've tried that before. Does it work? We can do it. Tried it before it didn't work. but would you be open to trying it again? I'm sorry. Would you be open to meeting?

153
00:19:17.570 --> 00:19:25.249
DTSD Webinars: I of course I'm open to? Yeah. I put in the effort. But the bids were just presented at that meeting last month.

154
00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:45.450
DTSD Webinars: and they came in $96,000 over budget. So that's nothing that you could have talked about before him because they were just presented that night. That's that's the the really phenomenal part here is that $96,000 over budget already an extraordinary 250, and no discussion. That would have been something really that should have happened that discussion that night.

155
00:19:45.980 --> 00:19:51.799
DTSD Webinars: It's a public meeting, but I'll I'll be more happy to touch Base with you and

156
00:19:52.410 --> 00:19:54.019
DTSD Webinars: thank you. Okay, thank you.

157
00:19:56.800 --> 00:20:08.500
DTSD Webinars: Dave weaver. So 6 weeks ago I was here. I tried to speak and was told, I gotta wait till the non agenda items are discussed, and then at the end of the meeting I can talk

158
00:20:08.670 --> 00:20:12.629
DTSD Webinars: So the board proceeded to spend an hour and a half

159
00:20:12.810 --> 00:20:17.179
DTSD Webinars: talking about a roller, skating, rank or roller ice rink.

160
00:20:17.460 --> 00:20:19.900
DTSD Webinars: and then another 45 min

161
00:20:20.420 --> 00:20:27.570
DTSD Webinars: talking about reprimanding a School Board members for some actions none, none of which

162
00:20:28.040 --> 00:20:33.960
DTSD Webinars: over 2 h, none of which had anything to do with the public education of our students. Nothing.

163
00:20:34.420 --> 00:20:38.429
DTSD Webinars: So you expect the public to sit through

164
00:20:39.460 --> 00:20:45.819
DTSD Webinars: all the Bs to get to wait, to say their point. It's an incredible detriment to public

165
00:20:45.950 --> 00:20:50.500
DTSD Webinars: interaction case in point. I came back a month ago

166
00:20:50.560 --> 00:20:52.590
DTSD Webinars: and tried to avoid the

167
00:20:52.710 --> 00:20:54.880
DTSD Webinars: extra air.

168
00:20:54.990 --> 00:20:56.970
DTSD Webinars: and was late. The meeting was over.

169
00:20:58.020 --> 00:21:08.259
DTSD Webinars: So that's my first point. Second point is, 6 weeks ago I was here talked about retrofitting this building, or at least considering retrofitting this building

170
00:21:08.320 --> 00:21:13.519
DTSD Webinars: for use in as part of, or in conjunction with.

171
00:21:13.630 --> 00:21:21.790
DTSD Webinars: the building project that's already been discussed, proposed, approved. I'm not sure what status it is.

172
00:21:22.280 --> 00:21:25.509
DTSD Webinars: and I'm here again

173
00:21:25.650 --> 00:21:36.820
DTSD Webinars: to encourage the Board to do that, and if this board doesn't want to do it, I would encourage them to not proceed with such a huge project when a 75% new board

174
00:21:36.940 --> 00:21:41.579
DTSD Webinars: is coming in. So you're going to saddle a new board with an incredible amount of debt.

175
00:21:42.110 --> 00:21:48.799
DTSD Webinars: and I was also told that there was a study done 7, 8 years ago, whatever

176
00:21:49.100 --> 00:21:50.790
DTSD Webinars: that.

177
00:21:50.950 --> 00:21:58.959
DTSD Webinars: provided all the reasons not to use this building. I requested a copy of it. I haven't received that

178
00:21:59.210 --> 00:22:07.370
DTSD Webinars: Mr. I have the copy for you. You didn't leave me your address. This building was good enough for

179
00:22:07.830 --> 00:22:12.850
DTSD Webinars:  a gym to be here for many years.

180
00:22:13.100 --> 00:22:19.389
DTSD Webinars: It was good enough for Penn state health to have offices here for many years, good enough for Covid Center.

181
00:22:19.530 --> 00:22:22.160
DTSD Webinars: but for some reason it's off limits

182
00:22:22.290 --> 00:22:30.879
DTSD Webinars: to be considered for any aspect of this building project to reduce costs. Address the issue. I mean. It's a wonderful building.

183
00:22:31.330 --> 00:22:32.690
DTSD Webinars: And

184
00:22:33.670 --> 00:22:38.340
DTSD Webinars: you know, I I said it before, and I'm just waiting for the board to.

185
00:22:38.420 --> 00:22:40.999
DTSD Webinars: you know. Provide me with some information.

186
00:22:42.140 --> 00:22:43.319
DTSD Webinars: Yeah, thank you.

187
00:22:44.820 --> 00:22:48.500
DTSD Webinars: Mr. Weaver, did you leave your address this time? So I can mail you the study

188
00:22:49.330 --> 00:22:50.249
got it far.

189
00:22:53.870 --> 00:22:56.940
DTSD Webinars: Okay, thank you. Thank you.

190
00:23:01.940 --> 00:23:02.660
I

191
00:23:03.650 --> 00:23:05.310
DTSD Webinars: that would be great. Thank you.

192
00:23:06.280 --> 00:23:09.929
DTSD Webinars: Mrs. Ag. Anyone else in the room that wanted to comment.

193
00:23:10.530 --> 00:23:12.459
DTSD Webinars: Yes, we have Kirsten Mckinney.

194
00:23:16.870 --> 00:23:23.000
DTSD Webinars: Hi, I this is my first board meeting, so I apologize if

195
00:23:23.820 --> 00:23:26.810
DTSD Webinars: if I kind of misty

196
00:23:27.500 --> 00:23:37.129
DTSD Webinars: So my my daughter was in kindergarten this past year. and There was an incident on her school bus.

197
00:23:37.280 --> 00:23:47.740
DTSD Webinars: involving the ipads Now, at first I'd like to say that, you know I'm really grateful that they have the students have them available. I think they're a great idea. I think they're a great learning tool.

198
00:23:47.750 --> 00:23:53.300
DTSD Webinars: but the incident that occurred on the school bus were

199
00:23:53.970 --> 00:24:01.480
DTSD Webinars: inappropriate pictures were taken of my daughter on this, in the on in her assigned seat on the school bus.

200
00:24:02.560 --> 00:24:04.199
DTSD Webinars: And they were.

201
00:24:04.320 --> 00:24:10.490
DTSD Webinars: They were with these ipads and  I guess I assumed

202
00:24:10.900 --> 00:24:21.860
DTSD Webinars: that there were safeguards on the ipads that They were somehow being monitored, or something would block this from happening.

203
00:24:23.030 --> 00:24:24.270
DTSD Webinars: the the

204
00:24:24.360 --> 00:24:30.409
DTSD Webinars: police have been involved all that. But I I now that we're getting into the next school year.

205
00:24:30.470 --> 00:24:38.399
DTSD Webinars: she's gonna be riding the bus again every all these old, and it was a child who who used the ipads to take pictures of my daughter

206
00:24:38.470 --> 00:24:40.810
DTSD Webinars: my 5 year old

207
00:24:41.250 --> 00:24:46.699
DTSD Webinars: and I'm concerned. I I want to know kind of what what

208
00:24:46.880 --> 00:24:52.060
DTSD Webinars: can be put in place to protect not only my kid, but but other kids.

209
00:24:52.980 --> 00:25:04.560
DTSD Webinars: you know that that's been kind of on my mind, and I contacted the school. I talked to the principal. I've talked to the the the police were involved.

210
00:25:04.830 --> 00:25:17.890
DTSD Webinars: And kind of all I was just told was, the school will provide lessons to students about avoiding peer pressure. but it's the parents responsibility to monitor the ipad. The parents. Responsibility to, you know.

211
00:25:17.970 --> 00:25:22.830
DTSD Webinars: Teach the kids, you know, private areas or private areas and stuff like that. But

212
00:25:23.190 --> 00:25:24.810
DTSD Webinars: my concern is.

213
00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:27.429
DTSD Webinars: you know.

214
00:25:27.700 --> 00:25:40.369
DTSD Webinars: what what can we do to protect my my kid and other kids going in for next year? These ipads are a great tool. They're wonderful, but but there's can there be safeguards added to them, or

215
00:25:40.410 --> 00:25:54.450
DTSD Webinars: I mean even the school bus? When this issue was brought up the footage that would have shown it on the school bus was already deleted. Unfortunately. So I I guess it's just. It's been a really concerning issue. It's.

216
00:25:54.670 --> 00:25:56.720
DTSD Webinars: you know, and I just

217
00:25:56.730 --> 00:26:07.519
DTSD Webinars: I kind of feel like I've sort of talked to everyone again. This is kind of the last resort, because I just feel like nothing's still in place to protect my daughter and other kids from this happening again.

218
00:26:08.230 --> 00:26:14.460
DTSD Webinars: So I don't know if it's just. This is meetings just to bring this to your attention.

219
00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:17.109
DTSD Webinars: I I really love some answers. I'm just

220
00:26:17.450 --> 00:26:29.960
DTSD Webinars: again. This is a huge concern. I I thought my biggest worry sending her to kindergarten was, you know, she missed the bus, or something, or you know, making friends. I never imagined

221
00:26:30.110 --> 00:26:35.160
DTSD Webinars: that this particular issue would have occurred, and especially not with another

222
00:26:35.180 --> 00:26:37.669
DTSD Webinars: older students. So

223
00:26:37.980 --> 00:26:52.980
DTSD Webinars: really just looking for some guidance, or at least bringing it to your attention that maybe something a policy can be put in place.  so I I don't know if this gets I I again. I'm sorry this is my first meeting. I don't know if

224
00:26:53.190 --> 00:27:05.600
DTSD Webinars: this is something that would be added to an agenda meeting for next time, or kind of how this works.

225
00:27:05.650 --> 00:27:23.900
DTSD Webinars: I can. I'd be happy to give you a call. How would you like? Sure, I'd really appreciate that? Thank you. Yeah, you bet. Would. Thursday be okay? Yeah. I just know my whole schedules open up there. So yeah, I can. if I can meet with you, maybe after just to make sure what time? Absolutely, I very much appreciate that. Thank you absolutely.

226
00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:27.780
DTSD Webinars: Thank you.

227
00:27:30.410 --> 00:27:35.720
DTSD Webinars: Mrs. Ag. Anyone else in the room that wanted to speak. Not at this time.

228
00:27:36.870 --> 00:27:39.959
DTSD Webinars: Mr. Ayella. Anyone online who would wish to speak.

229
00:27:42.080 --> 00:27:45.470
DTSD Webinars: At this time there were no hands raised. Okay.

230
00:27:47.460 --> 00:27:52.090
DTSD Webinars: so we're moving toward the end of the meeting here. Is there anything else for the good of the order.

231
00:27:58.270 --> 00:28:09.560
DTSD Webinars: If not, we're moving onto item 9, adjournment. The next public board of Directors meeting will be held on August fourteenth, 2,023, starting at 7 pm.

232
00:28:09.830 --> 00:28:20.190
DTSD Webinars: Please refer to the district website to register for virtual attendance as the meeting draw us closer. I have a motion to adjourn this meeting

233
00:28:20.200 --> 00:28:23.779
DTSD Webinars: all those in favor

234
00:28:24.070 --> 00:28:25.710
DTSD Webinars: anybody opposed.

235
00:28:26.490 --> 00:28:30.140
DTSD Webinars: Okay, the meeting is adjourned. Thank you very much. Have a good evening.
