DTSD Webinars: In curriculum council today we heard a presentation from Miss Wade on the Trojan Academy, which is a fully online virtual learning option for children in Derry Township, with the same graduation requirements as Hershey High School. This program would not only save the district money, but also allow virtual students to participate more fully in the Hershey community. The Trojan Academy would be a top choice for students looking for a virtual learning option

24
00:03:50.860 --> 00:04:10.999
DTSD Webinars: because they will have the support and personal interaction of Dtsd. Staff. Various opportunities within the district, including blended learning and extracurricular activities, rigorous and relevant curriculum that aligns to the PA State standards and prepares students for graduation requirements and flexible scheduling opportunities for their courses.

25
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:34.729
DTSD Webinars: Students would also have access to the Trojan learning lab in the district office which will offer extended learning opportunities, quiet study areas and a collaboration center for students and families to work with staff and other. Possibly Hershey High School students. This initially will be an option for middle and high school students, and the implementation will begin in August of 2025,

26
00:04:34.730 --> 00:04:45.960
DTSD Webinars: if you would like to. If you would like more information, I urge you to listen to the meeting and view the presentation, as it was very informative. Our next meeting is on September 8, th at 4 Pm. Pending approval.

DTSD Webinars: Moving on to unfinished business. Dr. Winslow has a facility project. Update for us. Thank you. I'm going to focus on the elementary project this evening. I don't have any new stadium information to report on. So, for the Elementary building project worked on the Land Development Plan continues.

31
00:05:25.340 --> 00:05:39.569
DTSD Webinars: we did. If you paid attention to our last general services meeting, you would have known that we learned that our stormwater management proposal needed some more work that needed needed to look a little further, because the

32
00:05:39.740 --> 00:05:45.730
DTSD Webinars: in particular, the the rate of of water absorption was not where we needed it to be.

33
00:05:45.850 --> 00:06:05.150
DTSD Webinars: So. Our next step for looking at that is a stormwater feasibility. Study the addendum, I believe, for that is on our agenda, for this evening from our 2 they will be looking at the best option that is also fiscally responsible, and anticipate having recommendations to bring to the design team by the end of July.

34
00:06:05.380 --> 00:06:25.450
DTSD Webinars: at the beginning of July there will be 12 borings done around what would be the perimeter of the building, so that piece of the work will continue, and the schematic design work on the building itself continues as we work to ensure that our educational program needs are met and the building is right sized for our student body and projected enrollments in the future.

35
00:06:25.700 --> 00:06:37.249
DTSD Webinars: The next public meeting, where there will be discussion about the elementary project, will be the August 25th General Services Meeting, where a full report on work throughout the summer will be given.

The consent agenda contains routinely adopted items and items which normally do not require public deliberation on the part of the Board. A board member may, however, pull items which will then be discussed and voted on separately. May I have a motion to approve the consent? Agenda items as they are listed, so moved. Just

DTSD Webinars: Is there any discussion?

50
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:43.780
DTSD Webinars: This is Lindsay Drew. I would just like to say thank you to the Administration, and Mrs. Pitts and the business office for the work that was put into bringing this budget forward also to all the board members for the discussion and review and questions, and everything that led us to here, as we heard in our last meeting, there was not significant change from our proposed final budget.

51
00:08:44.179 --> 00:09:06.279
DTSD Webinars: The only changes were positive as to what the minimal deficit that we are forecasting would be. But overall. I feel in having gone through the budget process a number of times that this is a very comprehensive, well put together budget. I think that we accomplished a lot of really great things

52
00:09:06.340 --> 00:09:21.149
DTSD Webinars: that are incorporated into it, such as our collective bargaining agreements, and and our payment for staff and teachers and all of the support professionals in the district, to be able to do that in a way that

53
00:09:21.660 --> 00:09:51.569
DTSD Webinars: recognizes the value we place on their work by compensating them in a fair manner by investing in programs, by having one to one ipad technology. Just all of the things that the programs that we're able to provide for our students while doing it in a fiscally responsible way and leveraging the resources that we have as revenue streams, while responsibly controlling expenses, is something that I think sets our district apart. I know that there are many

54
00:09:51.570 --> 00:09:54.160
DTSD Webinars: different conversations happening at districts

55
00:09:54.370 --> 00:10:05.790
DTSD Webinars: all around us this year who are facing incredibly large deficits and having to have really difficult conversations around what they're able to provide their students.

56
00:10:05.790 --> 00:10:25.780
DTSD Webinars: So for us to be in a position that we do not have to have those conversations that we're able to pass this budget without a tax increase as we pause on our planned increases to build capacity for the elementary school project, being mindful of the economic conditions in the area, and some of our other taxing partners who have had

57
00:10:25.860 --> 00:10:37.610
DTSD Webinars: to pass very large increases this year that will affect our shared constituency. I'm proud to to vote. Yes, in support of the budget this evening and look forward to the work that starts

58
00:10:37.930 --> 00:10:48.670
DTSD Webinars: as soon as this one takes effect for the next. But appreciate the the hard work of the Administration and all across the district to make this happen.

59
00:10:50.870 --> 00:10:55.429
DTSD Webinars: So if there is no other discussion, this will be a roll call vote Mrs. Ag.

DTSD Webinars: Thank you. May I please have a motion to approve the 2025 through 2029 capital plan. So moved. Second, Nestor Romberger.

80
00:13:00.700 --> 00:13:02.250
DTSD Webinars: Is there any discussion?

81
00:13:02.990 --> 00:13:19.040
DTSD Webinars: This is Lindsay Drew, I would just like to say thank you to Dr. Winzow, as many may recall. Last year we did not approve a capital plan because we weren't in a position to be able to do that and recognize that we were not following policy for that.

82
00:13:19.540 --> 00:13:37.309
DTSD Webinars: After reviewing the capital plan for this year and the work that's been done, and I think the way we all have a better understanding of what is set up for facility needs for the future. I think that was the right decision and appreciate the work that went into bringing this forward. Thank you. And if I could just say I really appreciate everybody's patience.

83
00:13:37.821 --> 00:13:47.098
DTSD Webinars: As with many things like this I was, I thought, in June of last year that by September we would have something to put in front of you.

84
00:13:47.480 --> 00:14:10.350
DTSD Webinars: And instead, what we embarked on is a pretty much a full year's worth of deep dive into our buildings, our facilities, our fields, and with the help of Deva, Par. And Chris Selmer, and also our internal team, I think, really have a nice comprehensive plan that can guide the district well beyond 2029. Keeping in mind that once you get out

85
00:14:10.740 --> 00:14:29.830
DTSD Webinars: 3 to 5 years, it's a little more dynamic. Things are going to shift and and move a little bit, but I feel really really good bringing this forward and I think it will be a good guide for for many years to come. I appreciate everybody's patience. And your Grace as a board while we work through that to bring you a quality product.

86
00:14:30.130 --> 00:14:37.049
DTSD Webinars: I think it really is a twofold in that it helps us look ahead to what projects the district will be in

87
00:14:37.130 --> 00:15:01.639
DTSD Webinars: undertaking, as well as the the financial impact on that, and how we budget, especially since this budget that we've just passed did not include the annual 1 million dollars transfer to the capital reserve fund that we've historically done, we were able to pass a budget without that in there, and and not have a tax increase, because we were able to see that the funds that we already have inside of our capital reserve

88
00:15:01.650 --> 00:15:10.609
DTSD Webinars: account were going to be sufficient for the for the needs that we had coming up. So it all kind of ties together in the end, and and worked well.

89
00:15:10.620 --> 00:15:12.109
DTSD Webinars: Thank you. Thank you.

90
00:15:12.591 --> 00:15:26.349
DTSD Webinars: So if there are no other comments or discussion, Mrs. Eg. I will. Just since this is a policy item, I'll just ask for a roll call. Vote for this as well. Dr. Mccarver. Yes, Mrs. Renz.

91
00:15:27.530 --> 00:15:28.190
Jennifer Renz: Yes.

92
00:15:28.740 --> 00:15:40.379
DTSD Webinars: Mr. Rizzo. Yes, Ms. Romberger. Yes, Mrs. Royo. Yes, Mrs. Schmidt. Yes, Dr. Sisick. Yes. Ms. Drew. Yes, Mr. Harna, yes.

93
00:15:40.550 --> 00:15:42.580
DTSD Webinars: 9 approved. Thank you.

94
00:15:42.820 --> 00:15:51.239
DTSD Webinars: Our next item of new business is a change order, approval for over 2. The addendum number 3, Dr. Winslow. The Administration recommends the Board approval.

95
00:15:51.440 --> 00:16:02.470
DTSD Webinars: The board approved. Change order addendum number 3 of the elementary project for 2 in the amount of $24,100. And just to clarify this, is specifically the stormwater feasibility study.

96
00:16:02.880 --> 00:16:09.349
DTSD Webinars: Thank you, Dr. Winzo, may I please have a motion to approve the change? Order forward 2, which is addendum number 3.

97
00:16:09.710 --> 00:16:14.040
DTSD Webinars: So move, Josh, I think. Second Stuart Mccart there any discussion?

98
00:16:14.300 --> 00:16:16.579
DTSD Webinars: This is Erica Schmidt. I I

99
00:16:16.990 --> 00:16:19.635
DTSD Webinars: I was not able to be at the general

100
00:16:20.669 --> 00:16:24.559
DTSD Webinars: meeting last week or the last time we met. But

101
00:16:25.630 --> 00:16:32.660
DTSD Webinars: I guess my question is, with all of the problems that we've had with stormwater management and sinkholes.

102
00:16:33.820 --> 00:16:39.780
DTSD Webinars: Why like was it not that? Was this not taken into consideration like

103
00:16:40.190 --> 00:16:46.442
DTSD Webinars: it was? Do you remember all of the all of the work that we did on the

104
00:16:47.110 --> 00:16:49.502
DTSD Webinars: geological ground testing

105
00:16:50.460 --> 00:16:56.640
DTSD Webinars: So we thought we were pretty good with where we wanted this stormwater basins to go.

106
00:16:57.010 --> 00:17:00.150
DTSD Webinars: and it turns out that those locations

107
00:17:00.270 --> 00:17:19.660
DTSD Webinars: are not. They're they're not going to work. And there was a presentation last week about the different. There's it's volume of water, its rate of disbursement, its quality of water, and they look for a point 4 or greater for the water to move through. And we were at an average of like 0 point 0 2

108
00:17:20.338 --> 00:17:25.589
DTSD Webinars: now, once the building is torn down, the old building is torn down, it's possible that

109
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:33.870
DTSD Webinars: in that location there could be a great space for Stormwater Basin, but nobody's going to approve us, moving forward on the

110
00:17:34.140 --> 00:17:56.129
DTSD Webinars: possibility that we have a good place for a stormwater basin there. So instead of taking that risk on also knowing that that's probably not going to get approved doing a feasibility on 5 other options, one of which would be expanding our current stormwater basins that we have beside the elementary and back behind the high school that we've been working on the one right in the high school.

111
00:17:56.300 --> 00:18:00.770
DTSD Webinars: but possibly expanding. Each of those could be enough.

112
00:18:01.090 --> 00:18:17.879
DTSD Webinars: So it's not just one more study. It's like 5. I apologize for not being up to date. With that it's a good question. There's 5 options that are going to be studied, and then a recommendation of which one is the most viable and the most cost effective will be brought forward to us.

113
00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:34.770
DTSD Webinars: I just wanted to understand fully why it had to be a change order and not included in what they were doing. Yeah, that's why the locations that we thought that the stormwater management underground areas were going to be able to be are not turned out to not be viable. Which is why you test them now.

114
00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:42.419
DTSD Webinars: yeah. And and instead of later, but that's where those those big pits that they did out on the fields. That's what those were, and that's what they learned.

115
00:18:42.610 --> 00:19:05.310
DTSD Webinars: My understanding as well is. Also is that by doing this now we'll be able to have the the information that we need, so that when we get to the Land Development phase, and when we go to the like Township planning commission and those types of things. Sure, we'll have that already done, because that'll be such a large part of the land development approval.

116
00:19:06.140 --> 00:19:11.919
DTSD Webinars: It'll help keep that process moving rather than stopping, having to come back and do it.

117
00:19:12.390 --> 00:19:17.249
DTSD Webinars: and then go again. No, and I and I agree it had obviously it had to be done. I guess

118
00:19:17.360 --> 00:19:18.830
DTSD Webinars: my thought was just

119
00:19:18.980 --> 00:19:30.229
DTSD Webinars: why are we paying extra for it if that's their job? So that's where I just wanted it explained a little bit. Yeah, yeah. And that's so they did do their initial job. And then it turned out that wasn't gonna work.

120
00:19:30.780 --> 00:19:49.239
DTSD Webinars: So this is on top of that. Okay, thank you. And Dr. Winslow, this is Mr. Harinath just wanted to confirm. That's set as like a Max. Right? So yes, we did ask them to put a not to exceed $24,100 in there, and they agreed to that and if they are able to come up with a viable solution

121
00:19:49.240 --> 00:20:01.429
DTSD Webinars: and say, the 1st 2 things they look at, they'll stop. Okay, so that they don't have to charge us for the rest of it, Gotcha. So it sounds like we're being both flexible and responsible, fiscally trying. Yes, thank you. Yes, no, thank you. That's a good clarifier.

122
00:20:03.430 --> 00:20:06.079
DTSD Webinars: This will also whatever

123
00:20:07.100 --> 00:20:32.820
DTSD Webinars: in the building design team meeting. The engineers went further into depth, and I know more things about stormwater management options than I ever thought I would know. I know more than ever meant to know, as we often say, like that wasn't on our Bingo card, but some of the options that will exist beyond the basins that the underground

124
00:20:33.180 --> 00:20:36.819
DTSD Webinars: basins that we were talking or systems we were talking about is that

125
00:20:37.375 --> 00:20:46.000
DTSD Webinars: there's obviously a lot more cost associated with it in the development and design process and getting those there. So our hope is that

126
00:20:46.430 --> 00:20:54.880
DTSD Webinars: they will find in those 1st couple of options that are less expensive ones. Right? We've just had so many issues that it's like

127
00:20:55.330 --> 00:21:03.370
DTSD Webinars: how, how we nerve wrecking keep missing, you know. Right? So, okay, good question any other discussion.

00:29:26.541 --> 00:29:42.570
DTSD Webinars: I had not thought that far ahead in advance. I've been busy figuring, I mean, I'm not thinking I don't know something. I think that'd be nice. I think that would be very nice.

219
00:30:14.850 --> 00:30:38.250
DTSD Webinars: Thank you, Miss Drew. This is Mr. Harinoff. I just wanted to report out that on May 13th several of us attended the Pennsylvania School Board Association Advocacy Day. I was really grateful to be part of that alongside several folks in this room, and on the call we had a chance to meet both with Senator Patty Kim's office as well as Representative Tom Halfey's office. Among the topics we discussed was Hb. 1,500, related to charter schools.

220
00:30:38.250 --> 00:30:52.659
DTSD Webinars: There was also mention of of Representative Fleming and the Literacy Bill that he's putting forward for his district, so excited to continue the conversation.

221
00:30:54.800 --> 00:31:00.626

222
00:31:01.290 --> 00:31:10.149
DTSD Webinars: elected representatives at the House and Senate level who are supportive of education, and I know that if that cyber Charter Bill can get

223
00:31:10.580 --> 00:31:18.139
DTSD Webinars: approved through the Senate, it would be a wonderful thing for public education as a whole, especially budgets, and

224
00:31:18.650 --> 00:31:19.540
DTSD Webinars: putting it

225
00:31:20.350 --> 00:31:29.489
DTSD Webinars: a real figure on the number of what it costs to educate students in in that realm. So thank you for the for all of you for taking time to go. Do that.

227
00:31:34.330 --> 00:31:39.340

228
00:31:43.600 --> 00:31:54.580
DTSD Webinars: for board President's report. I just would like to say, last week's graduation was just a really wonderful, exciting event. Again.

229
00:31:54.780 --> 00:31:57.640
DTSD Webinars: it is probably one of

230
00:31:57.940 --> 00:32:21.350
DTSD Webinars: the best days of the year as a board member to see, like the culmination of all of it, and one of the great things about our district, and a district of our size is getting to see so many of the kids move through the buildings over the years and have the opportunity to interact with some of the students. For example, our 3 student representatives.

231
00:32:21.730 --> 00:32:42.500
DTSD Webinars: my face hurt from smiling afterwards because watching them in their excitement and knowing that they're on whatever they're doing post graduation that they're on to great things. It's just a really cool moment as a school Board director and as a community member. And I also just want to say Thank you to Mrs.

232
00:32:42.500 --> 00:32:57.820
DTSD Webinars: Lori Ogle and Mr. Jeff Mcinneer, who are the senior class advisors. They do a really phenomenal job in coordinating the chaos that can be graduation. And it is just a well oiled machine.

233
00:32:57.900 --> 00:33:02.270
DTSD Webinars: And I'm always really impressed. And it's a 56 min

234
00:33:03.760 --> 00:33:13.069
DTSD Webinars: graduation ceremony that does a great job of properly recognizing our students and their accomplishments and achievements in graduation, while also, like

235
00:33:13.210 --> 00:33:15.719
DTSD Webinars: moving in and moving out and

236
00:33:16.600 --> 00:33:35.069
DTSD Webinars: keeping everyone happy. So thank you to them, and also just a thank you to Ms. Lindsay Schmidt, our high school principal. Her words always amaze me every time I hear her speak before students, and her Commencement speech was

237
00:33:36.070 --> 00:33:40.840
DTSD Webinars: just phenomenal, the having the opportunity to witness

238
00:33:41.630 --> 00:33:52.499
DTSD Webinars: rehearsal for graduation, and then the actual evening rehearsal. Maybe it stood out more because it was a less formal, less structured environment.

239
00:33:52.500 --> 00:34:21.880
DTSD Webinars: The relationships that she has built with the students and the respect that mutually goes back and forth between them is so on display and apparent. And it makes me just really really grateful as a School Board director, as a parent, that we have administrators who are so dialed into our children and care so deeply, and want, you know, share their joys and their challenges, and

240
00:34:22.260 --> 00:34:29.440
DTSD Webinars: you could tell they just feel every part. Lindsay feels every part of that, and just really grateful to to have

241
00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:48.220
DTSD Webinars: the teachers and the the administration that we have at the high school. It makes graduation even more special. So congratulations to the class of 2025, and thank you to all of the staff who helped them get to that day and helped our students get on the bus or out of the district for the last time, and

242
00:34:48.830 --> 00:34:50.640
DTSD Webinars: I hope everyone has a great summer.

243
00:34:50.980 --> 00:34:52.109
DTSD Webinars: So thank you.

244
00:34:53.421 --> 00:35:18.720
DTSD Webinars: So with that we'll now begin our final recognition of citizens and public comment for the evening. This is an opportunity for residents and taxpayers to address the Board on matters that were related to the agenda or matters of district governance that were not on the agenda. We'll follow the same guidelines outlined at the initial public comment portion of our meeting, and I will ask for treasurer, Mr. Rizzo, to please keep time. Once again. This is, eg. Is there anyone registered to comment? Not at this time.

245
00:35:18.930 --> 00:35:21.950
DTSD Webinars: Mr. Nicholson. Is there anyone online who would like to comment?

246
00:35:23.460 --> 00:35:30.269
DTSD Webinars: Not at this time. No, okay, seeing none. Is there anything for the good of the order?

247
00:35:31.280 --> 00:35:49.300
DTSD Webinars: All right. The next public board of Directors meeting will be held on Monday, June 23, rd 2025, beginning at 7 Pm. Please refer to the district website to register for virtual attendance as a reminder to board members, we will adjourn the post executive session. May I please have a motion to adjourn this meeting? So moved. Second Tracy Royal.

248
00:35:50.070 --> 00:35:52.339
DTSD Webinars: all in favor, say, aye, aye.

249
00:35:52.340 --> 00:35:52.860
Jennifer Renz: Bye.

250
