WEBVTT 00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:33.000 And we're at a point where the turf and track are no longer safe to continue using and so I think it's important that you know we move forward with this project because it provides immediate safety benefits for our student athletes. 00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:40.000 I had a couple of things I just wanted to clarify with the 9 week project timefr that will be starting in early May. 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:48.000 And would be wrapped up. In time for fall sports, correct? And marching band. 00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:56.000 The goal is bank camp would start July 20 ninth. The goal would be to Be completed and they'd be able to take the field at that time. 00:16:56.000 --> 00:17:05.000 Okay. And then the other thing that just was kind of going through my mind as I was reading through this and listening to the last general services. 00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:22.000 Is that we had made significant changes with our facility use policies. And. Previously for the turf fields, there was requirement of a turf manager to make sure that the turf was being cared for and used properly when. 00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:30.000 We had it being used by outside entities, nonprofit groups, youth sports, that type of thing. 00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:35.000 I don't believe anything's been identified yet, but I would. 00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:56.000 Maybe suggest that we just take a look at that. And make sure with making this level of investment into that, you know, if there have been any issues identified over the years with youth with the facility use you know if there's been any damage you know to there just making sure that that we update those. 00:17:56.000 --> 00:18:06.000 Regulations and guidelines around facility use. To mirror this and kind of protect this investment. I agree. Yes, that's something we'll definitely look into. 00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:21.000 Yeah, I do have a. Mr. Had asked that question a while ago and I had made a note to make sure that Mr. Frady and Mr. Mantodoro and I sit down and want a identify if there have been any issues and if so what they are and then what measures we might need to take to. 00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:34.000 Make sure that they don't occur with this new. I do believe that, the facility use policy requires board approval for any changes to the administrative regulation or fee structure or requirements for facility use requests. 00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:50.000 So just wanted to kind of bring that up so it's on a radar. Prior to that and then also just confirm that anyone who has been approved or submitted a facility use request between now and the end of July that we would have previously approved. 00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:56.000 That they've been notified. With plenty of warning. That's correct. We have a commission. 00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:12.000 That is correct. And will we be doing anything during the 9 weeks to limit access? To the turf field and the track while it's under construction to make sure that during off hours. 00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:16.000 People cannot access it. Yes, that is the conversation. Have my contact from Hellas. They will they would take care of the proper measures to be sure that everything is secured. 00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:32.000 Okay, great. Thank you. You're welcome. 00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:33.000 Yes, thanks. 00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:40.000 Hey, this is, Couple of questions. Can you hear me okay? Okay, so, one question was currently, what is the 3, 22 field. 00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:46.000 What is that turf? Do you know? As compared to this. 00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:53.000 That is the split film. Which is what the contractor had. Proposed. 00:19:53.000 --> 00:20:00.000 Okay. And when did we have that redone? How many years ago does anybody remember? 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.000 I'm thinking 2019 maybe. I 00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:13.000 Yeah, I didn't think it was too long ago. What is like the length of time in between you know, having to redo it. 00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:21.000 I know it depends on how much use it gets and whatnot. But is there the longevity that it says. 00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:27.000 Is it do you know what that timeframe is? Is it like 10 years, 1215? 00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:28.000 Hey. 00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:33.000 The average, the average is 10 to 1214. The average is 10 to 12, to be honest. 00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:34.000 Okay. 00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:43.000 Now I did speak with a few references that had this Helix turf down. And they had 14 year old fields and they're just now having the conversation to replace it. 00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:44.000 Okay. 00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:54.000 So they're thinking they can get another 2 years out of them. So. And one benefit with adding a shock pad is if you put a shock pad down. 00:20:54.000 --> 00:21:01.000 You then can get 2 life cycles out of turf with one shock pads. So the shock pad is on on a sub base of the turf. 00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:06.000 Okay, and that obviously is safer. For the kids anyway hitting that. 00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:11.000 That's correct. 00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:12.000 We do not. 00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:29.000 Okay, do we have that on the other? 3 22 field? Okay. And my other question then was I was flipping to the contract and I could have completely missed it but running into what we ran into with the concession stand and you know, being over time. 00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:40.000 Is there anything saying that anything that the contractor then would, you know, give up if we. 00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:44.000 Go over you know over our time frame 00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:53.000 Yeah, that's a good question. But no, there's nothing in writing. So that is one of the many questions I had asked to my references as far as how the timeline. 00:21:53.000 --> 00:22:03.000 How how the project went from beginning to end. And I was told that each one of the project were completed on time, if not ahead of time. 00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:06.000 So that was definitely one of the questions I had had asked. This is A/C Winslow, Miss Schmidt. 00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:09.000 Okay. 00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:18.000 One of the reasons that we wanted a company that could do both turf and track is so that we were not dealing with the subcontractor issues. 00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:28.000 Which is part of what we ran into with the the concession stand we wanted somebody who could take us from beginning to end and be responsible for the entire project themselves. 00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:41.000 Yeah, I saw that and I it's probably a good idea. Considering you know you have a little more control i just was Curious is if you had any kind of like I said, ramifications. 00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:52.000 If that were to, we were to run into something like that. And It also kind of talked about unexplained expenses that they had no control over. 00:22:52.000 --> 00:23:02.000 We know that that happens. I just didn't know also how you know, how much. Is there a limit to that or? 00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:09.000 That show? 00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:15.000 A limit to changes, you mean? Is that what you were asking, Mr. Smith? 00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:22.000 How did she go? I think we lost her. Oops. This is Tracy Roy. 00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:28.000 I have a question. I would assume though in terms of timeframe, it would be weather dependent. 00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:35.000 What could the weather affect the timeframe that this could get completed in? I don't foresee that happening. 00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:40.000 We're talking May to June. I don't foresee that happening. A lot of rain wouldn't affect what there. 00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:45.000 No, no, that was like I said, I asked every every question you can imagine. To be sure that we were on the same page. 00:23:45.000 --> 00:24:00.000 So yes, yeah, I don't foresee that being a problem. Mrs. Drew, I had a question, clarification perhaps for We, re-evaluating use of outside groups. 00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:06.000 Are you just talking about them having access to the turf? We wouldn't be looking at limiting people using the track. 00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:10.000 Would it just be the turf are you talking about both? 00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:20.000 I was referencing just in general to the policy because typically There's a special designation for, utilizing. 00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:29.000 There's different fee structures for youizing the turf field. Okay. But the track would still be open to the public to use after school hours. 00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:43.000 As it currently, unless there's a facility use. Okay, thank you. Any other questions? 00:24:43.000 --> 00:24:49.000 Thank you. 00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:55.000 Thank you, Mr. Greedy. You're welcome. 00:24:55.000 --> 00:25:04.000 Okay, moving on, I would like to announce that the board met an executive session prior to this meeting to discuss, an informational workshop items. 00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:11.000 Our next item of business is community correspondence report. Was Carpology of a community correspondence report for us, please? 00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:15.000 I do. Okay. For the month of March, the district received 2 community correspondence submissions, comments and questions for this month included. 00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:27.000 A request for assistance at a community event and a request to send a flyer. That's all you got. 00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:30.000 Thanks. 00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:36.000 We will now have our first public comment period, which is an opportunity for residents and taxpayers to adjust the board on matters related to the agenda. 00:25:36.000 --> 00:26:02.000 Citizens who wish to speak may do so either in person or virtually and electronically.

Thank you. 00:26:43.000 --> 00:26:54.000 Mr. A, is there anyone online wishing to comment? 00:26:54.000 --> 00:27:00.000 At this time there are no virtual hands raised. 00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:14.000 Okay, then we will close this first public comment. And move on to standing committee meeting reports. The curriculum, council, and finance standing committees met today. 00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:29.000 Mrs. Royle, do you have a curriculum report? I do. We heard a presentation on the new Pennsylvania State Science Standards, which are have begun to roll out and it's a three-year rollout period. 00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:47.000 It seems that a lot of thought has gone into these standards. They are 3 dimensional and phenomenon based which a lot more to come on that but it will change courses and perhaps add courses and the way that science is being taught. 00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:58.000 It will also affect PSSAs, sometimes timing and also how the test will be given, which again, more to come on that as it unfolds. 00:27:58.000 --> 00:28:17.000 We then heard from the middle school world language department who are seeking new readers for Spanish. It's been about 7 years since these were updated and the 3 that they're looking to purchase our rich and culture illustrations and high frequency vocabulary that will lend themselves well to rich discussion and prepare them for future learning. 00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:26.000 We moved them on to 30 day review. And then finally, we. Moved the AP French. 00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:41.000 Textbook, Thames, which we discussed before, onto the full board. So that should come to us next time. 00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:46.000 Great. Thank you. Mr. Rizzo, do you have a finance report? I do. 00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:57.000 So today in the finance committee meeting we We looked at, the overall, 2023, 2024 financials and then also, did a review of the 2,02420 25. 00:28:57.000 --> 00:29:07.000 Preliminary budget in the budget. Scenarios up to date. Thanks to Miss Purcell. 00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:22.000 So as we look at 2023 2024 school year, closing it out from March. The March financials everything's looking good for the end of the year and things are are in in really good financial state. 00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:33.000 So when we looked at the 2024 2025. Or not recommended budget, but the budget analysis as we're going forward. 00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:39.000 We look at the revenue fund, some very strong numbers coming in from a revenue fund. So the Milton Hershey fun. 00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:54.000 That we normally draw off of right now at a 4% draw for 2024 2025 is looking about $1,932,000 $520 so looking very strong. 00:29:54.000 --> 00:30:02.000 The economy economy has bounced back from a, from what we saw during COVID as far as the fund. 00:30:02.000 --> 00:30:12.000 Not necessarily from an interest rate here, you know, in the public, but really from the fund growth itself, it has bounced back nicely. 00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:26.000 So that just with the 4% draw. And right now with Purcell is looking at, you know, do we need to draw any additional funding, which at this point in time, I don't think we're looking to recommend that. 00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:46.000 We also looked at the access reimbursement. This was a federal program that we talked about during the lower life presentation and that funding coming in right now is looking around $304,000 to help fund the the additional lower life. 00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:55.000 Program that we were looking to implement. So that's also very good for, what we're looking at. 00:30:55.000 --> 00:31:05.000 And then, Miss Drew had started talking about some of the funding coming in in revenue and notice a line item on the delinquent real estate tax. 00:31:05.000 --> 00:31:17.000 Where, you know, our budgeting is at $650,000 and right now as a March first or March 30 first was at about $185,000. 00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:24.000 So there's a pretty large discrepancy there and Miss Purcell is going to dive into that and $85,000. 00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:30.000 So there's a pretty large discrepancy there and Miss Purcell is going to dive into that and get I just want to clarify, I believe it was on the receipts from LEAs. 00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:40.000 Not delinquent tax revenue. It was on. That line, right? The receipts from LEAs. 00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:49.000 There's still conversation on. Current real estate taxes and what's flipping to delinquent and then the collection rate. 00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:59.000 Yes. Correct. And then they're the second plan item was Ali A's that Miss Purcel will also be looking into and getting a better understanding here. 00:31:59.000 --> 00:32:13.000 With Boy and Ritter, the update there from the audit, Miss Purcell indicated that they would be ready to go with their their preliminary review. 00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:14.000 Hey, might not be. I will have, final numbers. They're just, they have everything they need. 00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:25.000 I'm letting them wrap up their tax season work and then I'll circle back with them and these to have final numbers and then get an estimated. 00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:40.000 Draft financial statement date that we could get them in front of the finance committee. Thank you. Then when we turn to the expenses side for 2022 the proposed expenditures that we are looking at. 00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:48.000 There was a review and an update as there are every year with the the budget as they go through hey these are the wishes that I would like from each department and then they start to scrub down the information. 00:32:48.000 --> 00:33:11.000 So overall, things looked. In relative to proportion to what we see year in and year out there was a question in regards to salary and benefits in the in the the question was asked. 00:33:11.000 --> 00:33:21.000 Why are we seeing the salaries year over year coming back with a very positive? return. 00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:29.000 To the point of seeing a I would say a positive return on on the money that we put in the budget. 00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:40.000 So what what's happening is you know when we look at the budget and how we set salaries miss Purcell explained that it's basically on the the positions that are budgeted. 00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:50.000 Against and the salaries that go along with those position as individuals come in and individuals leave they may be replaced with a you know long term. 00:33:50.000 --> 00:34:04.000 Substitute which may be at a different cost. Cost collected for that that position. And then when you look at that in in comparison to the benefits as well, they run hand in hand. 00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:12.000 So as the salaries start to drop for those replacement positions, the benefits also drop based on that same scenario. 00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:28.000 So that is a constantly moving situation we're just going to look at that from year over year to make sure that there's no there's not opportunity there to make reallocate some of those funds to other places where that money is needed. 00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:41.000 So there'll be a further review before we get into the final proposed budget. And then charter schools, one thing that Miss Purcell noticed is that the total number, for The charter schools is down. 00:34:41.000 --> 00:34:51.000 91 versus 109 individuals in a charter school. There will be every evaluation and a reset as we get closer to the end of the year but right now the costing and the individuals are down. 00:34:51.000 --> 00:35:06.000 One thing Dr. Winslow did add is during advocacy day it was was noted that the Senate had stopped the bill going forward. 00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:17.000 For, charter school reform. So that any individual that is, is passionate about this. 00:35:17.000 --> 00:35:30.000 Portion of the money coming from our district into the charter schools which do not have brick and mortar please call your senator and and you know indicate to them how you feel about the charter school. 00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:35.000 Bill. So that's 1 thing I just want to point out from what she said. 00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:43.000 And then when we look at a timeline, on April, 20 s. It would be the proposed budget for the finance committee. 00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:57.000 For approval then we'll go to May eighth where it'll come to the board vote for the proposed final budget and then on 6 12 the board and June the twelfth of the board will do the final vote on the budget. 00:35:57.000 --> 00:36:05.000 30 the final budget submission by Miss. So anything to add there or anything that I missed. No, but thank you for talking about the timeline. 00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:16.000 I think the one thing I would say is, so what will happen at finance? I'll bring back revised numbers, any more updates, any, you know, anything that becomes. 00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:23.000 Aware are that we work on within the next 2 weeks. Coming out of finance, then it would be the recommendation of finances to what the. 00:36:23.000 --> 00:36:40.000 Tax increase should be come forward on that proposed final and then that would. That's how I'll build the proposed final 4 board vote the first week in May. 00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:43.000 Thank you. That's all. Great. Thank you. 00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:48.000 Next up this evening we have representatives Barto, Colerasi, and Sad with us. 00:36:48.000 --> 00:36:54.000 Ladies, Gary, report. Yes, we do. This is Natalie Colerasi and I'll be speaking about the high school. 00:36:54.000 --> 00:37:02.000 The Hershey High School Contable choir earned their fifteenth consecutive gold rating while performing at the 30 s Roxbury High School Choir Invitational. 00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:11.000 Congratulations for our music department.

I have something I'd like to say. 00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:13.000 I've done a lot of research into turf in the past few weeks. I have my reservations about the long-term health effects associated with long-term exposure to the materials used in manufacturing turf. 00:43:13.000 --> 00:43:20.000 However, tonight, we are voting on who will install the badly needed replacement for both turf. 00:43:20.000 --> 00:43:27.000 And surrounding track. This project was approved by a previous board and the funds have been set aside in the capital fund for this project. 00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:40.000 So perhaps when it comes time for the next round of turf replacement side will be considered. Many college level sports teams and NFL teams have reconsider their relationship with Turf. 00:43:40.000 --> 00:43:42.000 Because my responsibility. As a board member is to make decisions based on what's best for the entire student body and not my personal preferences. 00:43:42.000 --> 00:43:58.000 Therefore I will approve Hellas as the vendor to move forward because their project is the safest and superior product for the short term. 00:43:58.000 --> 00:44:07.000 Safety of the children in the district. They do make an effort to use materials that are less harmful to the environment and the people that use it. 00:44:07.000 --> 00:44:15.000 Thanks, Mrs. Renson. I appreciate the research and time and effort you put into it and the questions you asked because I think it brought all of us to look a little bit further and do some more reading on things that we don't necessarily understand. 00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:25.000 So I appreciate your contributions. My pleasure. 00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:29.000 Is there any other discussion? 00:44:29.000 --> 00:44:33.000 Hearing none, this is a standard voice vote.

Are there any board members who would like to give a report this evening? I would like to just make a comment just like that. 00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:58.000 That, you started off with same what a great music department we had and last week they did a jazz concert, which was very similar to the Bam, jam they did like a month ago where they had all the, all the jazz bands all up through high school and it was phenomenal. 00:45:58.000 --> 00:46:02.000 It was another one.

They are. 00:46:10.000 --> 00:46:18.000 They're phenomenal.

Are there any other board members who would like to give a report? 00:46:34.000 --> 00:46:37.000 Dr. Winds, do you have a superintendent's report? Just very briefly, I just want to thank everyone for their cooperation with our early dismissal today. 00:46:37.000 --> 00:46:50.000 It seemed like everything went smoothly. And having been in central New York over the weekend. Eclipse mania is real and I did not know. 00:46:50.000 --> 00:47:01.000 It was a little different than here. And I do hope people got to get outside and see it. It was pretty neat. 00:47:01.000 --> 00:47:08.000 So, that's my report. Great, thanks. For board president's report, the only thing I have to add is just a thank you to Dr. 00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:09.000 Winslow and Mrs. Wrens who participated in the Pennsylvania School Board Association's legislative advocacy day today. 00:47:09.000 --> 00:47:25.000 They took time out of their schedules this morning to attend meetings.
