Thank you. Then we will move on, uh, to our… First item of business. 00:02:48.000 --> 00:03:06.000 Um. One of the things I always love about the first meeting of the month, we'll welcome Hershey High School Principal Ms. Schmidt, uh, for our Student of the Month recognition. 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:15.000 Good evening, Board of Directors and community members. It's truly a privilege to be here this evening to introduce two outstanding students from Hershey High School. 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:23.000 who have been selected as our Students of the Month for the month of October. With me tonight, I have McKinley, Ebert, and Jason Lynn Su. 00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:32.000 Both students exemplify the highest standards of academic achievement, as you'll hear, leadership, service, and above all, character that really defines what it means to be a Hershey Trojan. 00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:45.000 So I'll start with McKinley. McKinley is a scholar, an athlete, and a leader who possesses resiliency, humility, and dedication that shines through in everything that she does. 00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:56.000 academically, she has distinguished herself as a National Merit-commended student, an AP Scholar with Honor, and a consistent distinguished Honor Roll recipient. 00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:07.000 Her creativity and her intellect were recognized on a national level when she placed first in Pennsylvania and seventh in the nation in the 2024 Spring InvestRate Essay Contest. 00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:19.000 Beyond the classroom, McKinley is a two-time Mid-Penn All-Star who's earned recognition as her team's Defensive Player of the Year, Offensive Player of the Year, and MVP in Softball. 00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:23.000 As well as a two-time All-Tournament selection in basketball. 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:46.000 However, when you talk to her teachers and you see her… in Hershey High School. Those list of accolades are incredible, but what really defines her is her character. Mckinley is a linked crew leader, as you know, our leaders celebrate, um, their achievements by continuing to support our freshmen as they income into the high school, and they work with them all school year. Mckinley truly shines as she is doing that. 00:04:46.000 --> 00:05:08.000 She also mentors younger athletes, uh, through her youth sports camps in both basketball and softball, and she com… continually, and these are, um… characteristics used by her teachers to describe her. She models empathy in the classroom, she perseveres, and her teamwork is something that is evident within the classroom as well on the field or the court. 00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:26.000 Uh, she leads by example here at Hershey High School and reminds us all that hard work, commitment, and compassion is a way to naturally succeed, and people will easily follow when they see that. So please join me in congratulating McKinley. 00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:36.000 Good evening! My name is McKinley Ebert, and I'm truly honored to be recognized by our school administration and staff as one of Hershey High School's Rotary Students of the Month. 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:45.000 Alongside such an incredible student. Throughout my time at Hershey, I've tried to make the most of every opportunity, whether that's in the classroom, through athletics, or in the community. 00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:57.000 I'm involved in the National Honor Society, Math Honor Society, Key Club, and the Student Athlete Outreach Club. I also serve as a Lynn Crew Leader, helping freshmen feel comfortable and connected as they begin high school, and making sure those who might feel lost in the crowd know they belong. 00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:05.000 This past year, I've also worked with our school store, the Trojan Trading Post, helping design products, manage marketing and operations, and promote our school pride. 00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:12.000 Academically, I've been recognized as a National Merit Commended Student, AP Scholar with Honors, and a consistent member of the Distinguished Honor Roll. 00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:21.000 One of my proudest moments was placing first in seventh… first in the state and seventh in the nation for the assay contest, combining my love for writing with the intricacies of finance. 00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:29.000 Softball has also been a huge part of my high school experience. Two-time all-conference player, team MVP in both offensive and defensive player of the Year. But beyond the awards. 00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:34.000 Softball has taught me the power of discipline, seeing through the failures, and doing the small things right. 00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:37.000 It's taught me that our greatest successes cannot be achieved alone. 00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:42.000 And that when the practices feel long, and the losses add up, sometimes all we have is the people beside us. 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:49.000 Next fall, I'll be attending Franklin and Marshall College to continue my education and play softball. I'll carry my time at Hershey with me everywhere I go. 00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:54.000 Doing my best to honor the teachers, coaches, and mentors who have invested so much in my journey. 00:06:54.000 --> 00:07:01.000 Their guidance and belief in me have shaped the person I am today, and I hope that, in my own way, I've made a similar difference in the lives of those around me. 00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:10.000 Thank you. 00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:22.000 Next, I'm honored, excuse me, to introduce Jason Linsu. Jason is an exceptional student whose intellectual curiosity and passion for learning, as you will hear, truly does set him apart. 00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:34.000 He's a National Merit Scholarship semifinalist, a U.S. National Chemistry Olympiad qualifier, a Pennsylvania Governor's School for the Scientist Participant, and the list goes on. 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:41.000 He's an AP scholar with distinction and continually seeks out ways to challenge himself and inspire those around him. 00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:46.000 However, his talents do extend well beyond academics. He's an Allstate violinist. 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:54.000 whose musical achievements bring pride to the community of Hershey, as well as continues to grow our program as a leader within his section. 00:07:54.000 --> 00:08:01.000 Within Hershey High School, he leads with purpose and humility, serving as the president of the Trium Music Honor Society. 00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:12.000 president of the Math Honor Society, Vice President of our National Honor Society, and President of Youth and Government, all while competing as a valued member of our varsity tennis team. Not sure how he gets it done. 00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:20.000 What stands out the most about Jason, according to his teachers, as well as what's visible in the hallways, is his kindness and his authenticity. 00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:31.000 He is a student who mentors peers, leads in the classroom quietly, and is a performer on stage while showing that servant leadership is a way to lift others while continuing to push yourself. 00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:40.000 Please join me in congratulating Jason. 00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:48.000 Good evening, everyone. My name is Jason Linsu, as you know, and I am truly honored to be selected as one of Hershey's October Students of the Month. 00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:55.000 I'd first like to extend my gratitude to the Derry Township School Board for this significant opportunity and recognition. 00:08:55.000 --> 00:09:03.000 I'm also incredibly thankful to the Hershey High School faculty and administration for their continued and unwavering commitment to our education. 00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:10.000 I'd finally like to thank my mom and dad for supporting me through all 17 years of my life. 00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:16.000 While these groups exemplify perfectly its service. That is, the promise and execution of helping others. 00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:22.000 service, whether accompanied by a paycheck, a thank you, or simply a warm feeling inside. 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.000 Um, stems from the love and commitment to a cause or individual. 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:39.000 I've experienced this firsthand through being a part of the TriM Music Honor Society, where we've hosted events like a holiday breakfast for elementary school students with live music in December. 00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:50.000 I'm also president of my school's Youth and Government program, where I've found joy helping out younger students by immersing them in a model government program and teaching them about how government works. 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:55.000 I'm also co-founder of a non-profit initiative, um, in our community called Hershey3D. 00:09:55.000 --> 00:10:04.000 Where we've partnered with Vision Resources of Central Pennsylvania to 3D print assistive technologies to help those with low vision problems. You can check us out at Hershey3D.org. 00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:14.000 I serve as president of the Math Honor Society and as senior class president, and I've been elected to Hershey High School Student Council for the past 4 years. 00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:22.000 I'd love, also, again, love playing tennis, or I was the varsity team captain, and I played the violin and piano for over 10 years. 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:26.000 Um, I'm currently the concert master for Hershey High School's orchestra. 00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:30.000 After high school, I plan to attend university to pursue a career in engineering. 00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:42.000 Thank you all again, and I am truly honored to be recognized for this award, and I hope you all have a wonderful rest of your day. 00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:49.000 Thank you, and congratulations to you both. Um, in addition to all of your incredible accomplishments, you're also. 00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:59.000 Um, great speakers and writers. Um, so thank you for joining us. Congratulations, and uh, thank you, Ms. Schmidt, for always having such wonderful introductions. 00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:10.000 Um, for the students. So, uh… I hope that, uh… as you go through your senior year, that more opportunities continue to unfold, and glad that. 00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:14.000 Uh, we've had the opportunity to have you here. 00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:24.000 Okay, moving on, uh… the General Services and Finance Standing Committees met today. Mrs. Renz, do you have a general services report, please? 00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:34.000 Do, thank you, Ms. Drew. Today at Gen Services, we had a presentation from, um, Anthony Kolstock from our architect on the elementary school project. 00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:49.000 Um, we got to look at some, um. better, um… pictures and video of what the mock-ups inside of the school are going to look at. He showed us the gym Music Wing exterior of the building. We got to see the main entrance. 00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:56.000 of the building, um, and he showed us where the bus students will be walking into the building. Um, we were able to see the. 00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:02.000 3 through 5, and then K through 2 academic wings from different angles outside, um. 00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:11.000 halls adjacent to the gym, the gym interior. Um, we were able to see examples of academic flex space area and large academic commons area. 00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:16.000 He showed us in his presentation, there were, um, several QR codes where you can. 00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:21.000 Um, you know, scan it with your phone camera, and you can… kind of virtually be inside the school and have. 00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:34.000 Um, you know, a 360 view of things. Um, that was pretty interesting. I highly recommend, um, going on to the elementary school, um, section of our website and, um, taking time to do that later. 00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:40.000 Um, we got an update on the scoreboards that were installed on the Memorial baseball field. 00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:44.000 And the softball field there, installed and operational, and they look great. 00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:51.000 And buildings and grounds have installed many signs. around the campus, reminding pet owners to please leash your dogs. 00:12:51.000 --> 00:13:00.000 Um, actual leashes, not… electronic devices, we prefer physical leashes, um… You're a Jedi, can't use the Force, it has to be a leash. 00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:05.000 Um, and yeah, we just want to keep it safe for everybody walking on our campus. 00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:15.000 Um, so please, uh, be respectful of everybody who wants to use our paths, and… Um, our next-gen services meeting, the dates have changed. It's going to be on November. 00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:22.000 Third, where we expect to get a presentation. Um, about the stadium before it moves to the full board. 00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:25.000 And that is all. Thank you. Great. Thank you, Mrs. Renz. 00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:35.000 Uh, the Finance Committee, um, also met today, and I, uh, stood in for Dr. Mccarver for that, so I will give the update there. 00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:40.000 Um, we had Fulton Financial with us for our quarterly update on the. 00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:50.000 Um, on the trust from Milton Hershey. Uh, the September 30th end balance of the trust was just over $59 million. 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:54.000 Um, it was $55 million at the beginning of the year, so we have seen, uh. 00:13:54.000 --> 00:14:09.000 an 11.8% year-to-date return, um, that… is, uh, including the distribution of $1.6 million, uh, being taken out, so… Um, we have outperformed the benchmark for every quarter in the last 5 years. 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:15.000 Um, and… that has a positive, healthy balance. 00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:24.000 Um, we also welcomed and were joined by Mrs. Jodi Dermo, our new business manager, who, uh, is just one week into. 00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:30.000 Uh, joining the district, and has already hit the ground running, and was fully prepared with the comprehensive. 00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:48.000 update, um, from her and her team that we very much appreciated. Uh, the… monthly financials report showed that there has been an influx of cash, obviously, because this time of year, um, real estate tax collection during that discount period is, um, at its highest. 00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:55.000 Uh, there has been no revenue outside of USDA for food, um, services. 00:14:55.000 --> 00:15:04.000 There has been no revenue from state or federal funding, um, due to the budget impasse at both state and federal levels. 00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:11.000 Fortunately, in Derry Township, we do have reserves that allow for us to continue operations through ca- uh, without. 00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:19.000 negatively impacting our cash flow, or leaving us. In the negative there, um, but I know that is not the case for, uh. 00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:24.000 many school districts in the state, and so hopefully, um. 00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:32.000 We will start to see… revenue increase, uh, on those line items going forward, assuming a budget is passed. 00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:38.000 Um, Mrs. Dermo also went over the budget timeline overview for the 26-27 budget. 00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:43.000 That will be, uh, getting started. I know the committee really appreciated the comprehensive. 00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:54.000 timeline that was put before us. She also shared that the Act 1 index for 26-27, um, has been set and communicated at 3.5%, which basically means. 00:15:54.000 --> 00:16:00.000 That, um… real estate taxes cannot be increased more than 3.5% without. 00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:10.000 an approval, so if you'll recall, we, uh, typically, uh, pass the resolution in early December, um, stating that. 00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:13.000 Whether we will seek an exception or stay within the means of that. 00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:19.000 Um, and then that the audit has been wrapped up, uh, and we will be on time. 00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:34.000 Um, for the presentation, probably in January. The next Finance Committee meeting is… Monday, November 17th at 5pm, and then Dr. Mccarver will be able to… take it back over. Yes. 00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:47.000 Any questions? Okay, then we will move ahead with the student representative's report. Uh, this evening, we have Representatives Alquin and our dear with us. 00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:49.000 Um, so ladies, do you have a report to share? 00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:52.000 Yes, thank you. Good evening, everyone, and as always, thank you for having us. 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:58.000 This week, the high school band and orchestras will have their first concert of the year taking place Wednesday evening. 00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:03.000 This past Saturday, we celebrated homecoming with Humza Farooq and Eva Carlson being crowned King and Queen. 00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:10.000 The annual Halloween parade took place last Wednesday, in which the marching band walked and performed, as did Hershey Football and Cheer. 00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:18.000 The boys' soccer team is currently playing in their first district playoff game against Redland after a 16-1 regular season record. 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:22.000 And shout out to our very own Representative Sean DeLal, who just scored a goal. 00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:33.000 Don't forget to come out to our last home football game this Friday for Senior Night, and to watch our viral percussion duo, Nick and Humza play as they're lifted into the air by our cheerleading squad. 00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:41.000 Good evening, everyone. Uh, our girls field hockey plays their first playoff game tomorrow, so make sure to come out and support them. 00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:47.000 Our cross-country team have the District 3 meet on October 25th at Big Spring High School. 00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:57.000 Uh, Key Club's annual trunk or Treat event is this Thursday, October 23rd, with the proceeds going towards helping the fight against global water crisis. 00:17:57.000 --> 00:18:02.000 Uh, we hosted our first outside pep rally on Friday, uh, ahead of our homecoming game. 00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:06.000 And it was so fun highlighting our fall extracurriculars in sports. 00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:15.000 We also participated in fun games, including the Sibling Balloon Pop Challenge and the Dress to Impress with Our Homecoming King Candidates game. 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:22.000 This past week, we had a successful Homecoming Spirit Week, thanks to our Student Council, with a lot of school-wide participation. 00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:26.000 And that concludes our report. Thank you! Thank you very much. 00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:47.000 Okay, and on the screen in just a moment, um, will be the listed items for the anticipated November 3rd, 2025 Board of Directors meeting agenda. 00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:54.000 Thank you, Ms. Harmer. There is no unfinished business this evening, so we'll move on to our consent agenda. 00:18:54.000 --> 00:19:04.000 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 pull items, which will then be discussed and voted on separately. 00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:08.000 May I please have a motion to approve the consent agenda items as they are listed? 00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:13.000 So moved, Josh Isik.

Um, I just wanted to acknowledge that October is National Principles Month. 00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:51.000 Um, and I wanted to give a shout out to our building principals, who do a phenomenal job with our students and running our buildings on the day-to-day, and making sure that. 00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:57.000 all the instruction is happening, the discipline is occurring, and that people are staying safe and getting fed, and. 00:22:57.000 --> 00:23:01.000 all the awesome things that happen at the building level. So, thank you to our wonderful principals. 00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:07.000 Great. Thanks, Dr. Torenzo. Uh, Board President's Report, um, our student representatives. 00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:20.000 literally went down the line of everything I had written on there, so… and they probably did a better job than I would have, um, but it's been an exciting fall sports season, so I just wanted to congratulate. 00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:31.000 all of our fall sports teams who are moving on, um… the soccer team playing now, football has been a ton of fun, field hockey, golf, like, it's just so impressive to see. 00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:48.000 Uh, our student body, who just excel in… not just these athletic arenas, but in the academic, in the community, um, you know, of… just doing great things for one another, uh, in the music space, so it's… 00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:57.000 This time of year is always fun, because you get to start to really see it all take shape. Um, if you have not been to a football game and not had the chance to see Hamza and Nick. 00:23:57.000 --> 00:24:07.000 Be lifted by the cheerleaders and play the drums. Like, please do yourself a favor and do… and go there, or look on Instagram, uh, there are recordings of it. 00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:16.000 Um, I think the one… the one kind of went viral of them, um, is just… it's so cool, not only to see our band and cheer. 00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:34.000 work so well together all season, um, you know, at the games and performances, but this is just, like, icing on the cake, and… Um, how they manage to keep rhythm and… and drum like that while being lifted in the air is just beyond me, but it's a lot of fun to watch. 00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:48.000 Um… And that is all I have. So, we will, uh, begin our final recognition of citizens and public comment period for the evening.
