00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:19.000

00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.000
So move, Josh Sizek. Second. Jennifer Renz? Is there any discussion?

00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:28.000
This is a standard voice vote. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye.

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:33.000
Any opposed? No? Our agenda is approved for the evening.

00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:40.000
I would like to announce that the board met in executive session this evening prior to this meeting to discuss informational items.

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:50.000
We'll now begin our first public comment period, which is an opportunity for residents and taxpayers attending either in person or virtually to address the board on matters related to the agenda.

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:57.000
If you wish to speak on matters not related to the agenda and additional public comment period will be provided later in the meeting.

00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:04.000
Each speaker is permitted up to 5 minutes of speaking time during each one of the public comment periods in order to provide other residents with an opportunity to speak.

00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:08.000
I'll ask Board Treasurer Dr. Mccarver to please keep time.

00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:16.000
When necessary, the board may set a maximum time for public comment, and as a reminder, all public comments are part of this evening's public record and minutes.

00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:21.000
There are no in-person participants this evening, so if you are participating online.

00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:27.000

00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:33.000
For all speakers, it is only necessary once you are recognized that you identify yourself by providing your full name.

00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:39.000
Is there anyone online wishing to comment virtually?

00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:47.000
Not at this time. Okay, thank you. Then we'll close the first public comment period and move on to our community correspondence report.

00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:50.000
Ms. Harmer, do you have a report for us this evening?

00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:55.000
Yes, I do. For the month of October, the district received two community correspondence submissions.

00:02:55.000 --> 00:03:02.000
This month's Community Correspondence include. Um, a question about policy on student gatherings and a comment regarding science on campus.

00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:09.000
Um, and additionally, some individuals have contacted the district directly outside of the community's correspondence form seeking information about local.

00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:17.000
food and security support during the shutdown. Um, so we posted some research… resources on the school website under Food Services to help families find.

00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:22.000
Food banks and assistant programs. Great, thank you.

00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:31.000
Our next item is a recognition of a new extracurricular activity and school club, Dr. Winslow.

00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:40.000
In compliance with Policy 122, Extracurricular activities, the listed addition of the high school student clubs is recognized, sending Sunshine Club.

00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:49.000
Thank you, Dr. Winslow. Uh, the General Services and Policy Committees, uh, met today. Mrs. Renz, do you have a General Services Report for us, please?

00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:55.000
I have a brief one, yes, thank you, Ms. Drew. Um, today the General Services Committee met. Um, we had.

00:03:55.000 --> 00:04:01.000
One item under unfinished business, and it was a stadium project update. We, um.

00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:07.000
had presentations by, um, the contractor. Um, basically going over, um.

00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:17.000
you know, what that project's going to look like, and… And, um, the General Services Committee voted to send the recommendation onto the full board, so that will be on.

00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:22.000
The agenda for the meeting, um, when's our next meeting? The 17th of November.

00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:28.000
And, um, I encourage anyone interested in hearing the meat and potatoes of that discussion to please listen.

00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:35.000
to the Gen Services meeting, when the audio is available, and our next Gen Services meeting will be January 26th of 2026.

00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:52.000
Great, thank you, Mrs. Renz. Policy Committee also met Dr. Sizek, do you have a report, please? Oh, yes, briefly, too. We approved, uh, or recommended the, uh, revision of a couple policies, 101, 106, and 107, that had to do with, uh, the mission statement and guidelines for instruction.

00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:57.000
cleaned up the language that aligned better with practice. Those would be for the board for review.

00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:05.000
And then we, um, reviewed some policies 100… through 100 through 111, which were related to instruction without any changes.

00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:15.000
Great, thank you, Dr. Sizik. For our student representative's report this evening, we have representatives Aliquin, Ardir, and Dalal all with us, uh, tonight.

00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:22.000
Do you have a report for us? Yes, thank you. Good evening, and as always, thank you for having us.

00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:29.000
On Friday, we cheered on our girls' cross-country team as they competed at States, as well as Max Houlet's the individual boys' team qualifier.

00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:33.000
For the duration of this week, we recognize our hardworking and dedicated.

00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:38.000
District for National School Psychology Week. Thank you for all that you do for us.

00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:42.000
This month, the following students are part of the Hershey High School's Trojan Tem.

00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:47.000
Connor Adams, Mason Bon Tempo Tyree, Adriana Contreras, Adele Hosenfield.

00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:53.000
Yusuf Khalifa sends greedy Naik. Gian, Penny… Panigua?

00:05:53.000 --> 00:06:06.000
Giovanni Prince, Samantha Stites, and Elena Wilding. Good evening, everyone. This past Tuesday, Hershey High School hosted the annual Lane Crew Conference for the second year in a row.

00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:12.000
Where students from 10 different schools across the state came together to learn how to become better leaders in the community.

00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:20.000
On Tuesday as well, we had a very successful mini-thon Farm Show Milkshake fundraiser with lots of students lining up to get their milkshakes.

00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:25.000
And, uh, additionally, we hosted our Junior vs. Senior Powderpuff Flag Football Game.

00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:29.000
With our football teams raising over $2,000 for MiniThon.

00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:35.000
Thank you.

00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:40.000
on Thursday of last week, our in-school mentorship program, Trojan Buddies.

00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:45.000
Had a Halloween event where high school students supported K-12 students with special needs.

00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:56.000
In a festive Halloween costume party. Last week, we also had another School Spirit Week. We had a Halloween-themed dress-up every day, where we wore black, white, pajamas and stripes.

00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:01.000
And then on Friday, students and teachers all dressed up in scary but hilarious costumes.

00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:08.000
We'd like to shout out Mrs. Miller and the math department for their wonderful attire and their decorations in the hallway.

00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:17.000
And finally, this Friday, our school will be honoring our veterans that have served our country with Veterans Day coming up next Monday. Thank you for everyone's time.

00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:29.000
Thank you very much. On the screen in just a moment will be the listed items for the anticipated November 17th, 2025 Board of Directors meeting agenda.

00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:39.000
Thank you, Ms. Harmer. Well, now move on to unfinished business. Tonight, we have a facilities project update from Dr. Winslow.

00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:43.000
Thank you, Ms. Drew. Um, just gonna start with the stadium.

00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:48.000
Um, as Ms. Renz shared, we did discuss the stadium bid at General Services this afternoon.

00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:55.000
Uh, as Mrs. Wren has shared, the summary information, um, I would encourage anyone who is interested to listen to the General Services Committee.

00:07:55.000 --> 00:08:03.000
recording your video. Um, we will also discuss how we are financing the stadium project to the Finance Committee on the 17th.

00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:12.000
Um, and as Ms. Thren shared, the, uh. final bid will be in front of the full board for approval on the 17th.

00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:19.000
And assuming that that moves forward with approval, we will… move forward with groundbreaking, and have ourselves a stadium.

00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:24.000
Uh, which is very exciting. Uh, the rental bleachers did get taken down today.

00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:28.000
And that is, um, that's an amazing process. It just happens so fast.

00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:34.000
Um, but another great season, and a great, great opportunity, and looking forward to having a.

00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:39.000
A permanent stadium that we don't have to tear down after… after football is over.

00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:50.000
Um, for the elementary project, we've continued to refine the design, especially focusing on the site development process as we work to ensure the soils will be support the building.

00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:59.000
We expect that additional borings, um, for the… Ratu addendum that we approved to take place over Thanksgiving break.

00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:07.000
Mr. Kolstock will be coming to our November 17th meeting to review the Act 34 and bid timeline.

00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:17.000
Um, at that meeting, I think that would be a really good one for the public to attend. Um, it's the first time that Mr. Polstock will have talked to the full board in several months.

00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:23.000
Um, the next time that he'll be in front of a board committee wouldn't be until January 26th for General Services.

00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:28.000
So, I think this would be a good one for… Um, folks to pay attention to.

00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:34.000
Um, simultaneously with all of that, today was the second day of faculty input meetings for, um.

00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:39.000
For the fall, I was able to be there for the special education, art, and STEAM discussions.

00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:44.000
Um, the teachers have excellent input and are excited to start seeing the spaces come to life.

00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:47.000
It was fun listening to their discussions as, uh.

00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:53.000
They talked about storage spaces, and Mr. Blaze and the art teachers and Mrs. Sin were.

00:09:53.000 --> 00:10:00.000
all, like, we'd have no storage space now, so anything you show us is fantastic.

00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.000
Um, but also just really exciting to start to see the, um.

00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:15.000
the spaces in the 3D renderings, and um… watching the teachers get excited to see them, like, we've been seeing them periodically in our design team meetings, but this was the first time they saw them.

00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:20.000
And it was… it was just fun to… To hear them get excited about it.

00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:30.000
Mr. Kolstock was just really complimentary of our staff in that he said sometimes people have a really hard time imagining outside of what they already know.

00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:35.000
Um, but our staff brings really good ideas about what they would like to be able to do.

00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:38.000
in spaces with the quality instruction that they provide.

00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:50.000
So that was just really nice to hear. Um, upcoming, we anticipate a board workshop in December to acclimate our new board members to the project and to review the Act 34 hearing process.

00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:57.000
And timeline, uh, with the full board, Ms. Harmer is working on a brochure that will be sent out to the entire community.

00:10:57.000 --> 00:11:01.000
Regarding the Act 34 hearing, so that as that approaches in March.

00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:11.000
Um, people will know, and hopefully will… be paying attention, maybe come out. My understanding is it's a somewhat of a boring meeting, um, but it is a really important.

00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:21.000
So, um, so there'll be a lot happening, beginning with, um, January's General Services meeting, and throughout the spring semester as we get ready to break ground for this project.

00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:30.000
I just want to make sure that. Um, folks who are interested are paying attention. It's a pretty big deal. It's very exciting, but it's a lot of work, and.

00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:34.000
Um, it's a lot for the board to work through as well.

00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:39.000
So, that concludes my report. Great, thank you, Dr. Winslow. Thank you.

00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:43.000
Does anyone have any questions? Before we move on.

00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:44.000
Okay.

00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:49.000
Hi, this is Erica Schmidt. Um, I do have a quick question for Dr. Winslow.

00:11:49.000 --> 00:12:01.000
Um, regarding… I know we've been talking. a lot about the design and whatnot the last few months, and haven't really, to the public, revisited, um.

00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:06.000
Cost. And… I guess the question is.

00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:15.000
is there a way to… assured the public that we are looking at the cost, because as we move forward, before we break ground.

00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:22.000
you know, if it… is coming in very high, that we have areas that we can.

00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:26.000
cut back on, if need be.

00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:35.000
Um, so yes, that is one of the things that is holding up bringing an estimate to the board is the compact grouting work on the site development.

00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:46.000
Um, the borings that are going to happen over Thanksgiving break will make it far more… needs to be done, and will allow that estimate to be finalized.

00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:50.000
Um, and then, as we move into that Act 34 hearing process.

00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:53.000
Nothing will happen with breaking ground without the board.

00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:59.000
first approving where we are with the project and with the overall budget.

00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:10.000
Um, so that's a part of that Act 34 hearing process, and… We'll be first looking at that at… general services, and then likely finance also in January.

00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:16.000
Um, as… as that… becomes more clear, where we're at.

00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:17.000
So, hope that answers that. But that's that whole Act 34 piece is about the budget.

00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:21.000
Okay.

00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:33.000
Right, no, I know, and that's… and I think you're right, it's very important for… for everybody to… get on board with that if there's questions, um… Especially with the cost, so… I think should spread the word that that is something that people should tune in for.

00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:42.000
Absolutely. Absolutely, and that's why Ms. Harmer's gonna send out the full brochure with all that information in it, too.

00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:43.000
And all… all taxpayers. All taxpayers will get that. Act 34 book.

00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:47.000
Yes.

00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:56.000
Yep, not the Act 30. For sure. For sure. Letting them know. Letting them know about the… The book will ultimately be posted online.

00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:58.000
Yeah, okay. Thank you.

00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:02.000
Huh. Thanks, Mr. Schmidt.

00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:11.000
Okay, we'll move on now to the consent agenda. Uh, the consent agenda contains routinely adopted items and items which normally do not require deliberation on the part of the full board.

00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:16.000
a board member may pull items which will then be discussed and voted on separately.

00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:20.000
May I please have a motion to approve the consent agenda items as they are listed?

00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:25.000

The administration recommends the Board retroactively approve the Rattu addendum for additional soil testing and reporting on the proposed site for the new elementary building project.

00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:22.000
Thank you. May I please have a motion to retroactively approve the River 2 Change Order Addendum number 5 for additional soil testing?

00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:27.000
And reporting on the proposed site for the new elementary school building project.

00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:32.000
So move, Jessica? Second, Jennifer Renz? Is there any discussion?

00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:36.000
This is a standard voice vote. All those in favor say aye. Aye.

00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:40.000
Any opposed, no? Item is approved.

00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:49.000
Next item is personnel resignations. Dr. Winslow? The administration recommends the approval of the personnel resignations.

00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:53.000
Thank you. May I please have a motion to approve personnel resignations? So moved, Jessica.

00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:58.000
Second, Jennifer Rentz? Is there any discussion?

00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:02.000
This is a standard voice vote. All those in favor say aye. Aye.

00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:07.000
Any opposed, no. Personnel resignations are approved.

00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:16.000
Our final item of new business this evening is Personnel General. Dr. Winslow? The administration recommends the approval of the listed personnel in recognition of any listed transfers.

00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:21.000
Thank you. May I please have a motion to approve the listed personnel in recognition of any listed transfers?

00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:26.000
So moved just as a… Second, Jennifer Renz? Is there any discussion?

00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:30.000
This is a standard voice vote. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye.

00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:39.000
Any opposed, no? Personnel General is approved. That concludes our new business for this evening. Uh, so we'll move on to report.

00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:44.000
The CAIU report is attached. Dr. Sizek, do you have anything you'd like to add for that?

00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:50.000
Yeah, I'd just like to say that if you're reading the highlights, you'll see that we've had to take out a $30 million loan to.

00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:57.000
overcome the budget shortfall due to the no state budget.

00:17:57.000 --> 00:18:02.000
Thank you, Dr. Sizek. Are there any board members who would like to give a report this evening?

00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:12.000
Yeah, I would like to… I would like to give a shout out to Mr. Brandon Buderball for what a great job he does with the marching band. The season ended this past week at the showcase.

00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:24.000
And I'm just always impressed, and then the Tuesday banquet, it's just so obvious how much he cares about the kids, and how much the kids care about him, and it's just really great to see. We're really lucky to have him.

00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:32.000
I agree very wholeheartedly. Thank you, Dr. Suzek. Any other board members would like to give a report?

00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:35.000
Dr. Winslow, do you have a superintendent's report tonight?

00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:42.000
I do, thank you. Um, I know the students already mentioned it, but I did want to give a shout out to our school psychs, um.

00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:47.000
for School Psychologist Appreciation Week. They do a phenomenal job. We're delighted to have four.

00:18:47.000 --> 00:19:03.000
Um, school psychs this year one assigned to each building, so very grateful to the board for supporting that. It's been… A wonderful change at the ECC in particular, where they're just… As we're getting to know students and develop relationships with families, with our youngest learners.

00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:12.000
Um, it's just been a really vital addition to the staff, and they're doing a fantastic job, so… Very appreciative to them and to you.

00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:17.000
Um, also wanted to take a moment to talk about e-bikes and e-scooters.

00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:20.000
Um, we've been noticing a lot more of these.

00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:25.000
Um, I'm gonna call them motorized vehicles on our… on our campus.

00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:36.000
And, um, I know, uh, Ms. Harmer included this in our, uh, newsletter today for families to see. We'll be sending out an email tomorrow as well, so that's.

00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:41.000
A very specific communication with the same message. Um, but also wanted to share it tonight.

00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:46.000
Um, so forgive me, I'm going to read it, because it is… I don't want to miss any of the words.

00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:59.000
Um, but it's important. So, as a district, um, we met with a Derry Township Police Department, uh, last week, and are working together to share important safety information about the use of electric scooters and bikes in our community.

00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:02.000
Student safety is one of our top priorities, of course.

00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:09.000
Um, with the increasing popularity of e-scooters and e-bikes, we wanted to remind families of the laws and safety expectations in place.

00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:15.000
to help protect all students as they travel to and from school each day, and the residents of Derry Township.

00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:19.000
So, to highlight each, for electric scooters in particular.

00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:23.000
Pennsylvania law is strict regarding the use of electric scooters on public roads.

00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:27.000
And sidewalks, actually. E-scooters are considered motor vehicles in Pennsylvania.

00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:32.000
but typically lack the required equipment to be registered, such as turn signals and mirrors.

00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:38.000
Under Section 3703 of the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code, e-scooters are also prohibited on sidewalks.

00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:42.000
As a result, e-scooters cannot be legally operated on public roads or sidewalks.

00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:48.000
And are really meant for private property use. Um, electric bikes.

00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:53.000
Um, e-bikes are subject to additional regulations and considered motor vehicles in Pennsylvania.

00:20:53.000 --> 00:21:01.000
Writers must be 16 years old. E-bikes are permitted on sidewalks, with the exception of the downtown business district of Hershey.

00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:08.000
We appreciate everyone's cooperation in helping to keep our community safe by ensuring that only those 16 and older ride e-bikes.

00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:11.000
And that e-scooters are not used to travel to school.

00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:18.000
By understanding and adhering to Pennsylvania's regulations, we can ensure that students, families, and all community members can share the roads and sidewalks safely.

00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:29.000
unresponsibly. We did include two links to resources. The Pennsylvania Micro Mobility Fact Sheet is incredibly helpful as a graphic.

00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:35.000
has, um, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5… has 6 different types of wheeled vehicles on there.

00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:39.000
And the requirements and regulations for each, so that.

00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:43.000
you know where you are allowed to ride them and where you're not allowed to ride them.

00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:52.000
Um, so, want to be, um, good citizens, good neighbors, and, um, make sure that our students and families are obeying.

00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:58.000
Traffic codes and vehicle codes. So, thank you, everybody.

00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:04.000
This is Jennifer Renz. Dr. Renzo, I have a question, um, regarding your conversation with Chief Warner. Of course.

00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:22.000
What does enforcement look like on behalf of our police department? Did that come up in the conversation? Uh, that did come up a little bit in conversation, and um… I will share what was shared, that generally, like, the scooter in particular.

00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:29.000
Um, the… if an officer sees someone riding a scooter where they're not supposed to, an electric scooter on a sidewalk or on the street.

00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:33.000
They're gonna tell them to stop, pick it up, and take it home.

00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:38.000
Um, I think after multiple offenses, there would probably be a communication with families.

00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:46.000
Um, uh, but… it's very much like a… warning, and don't let me catch you doing this again.

00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:52.000
Let's see, impression that I had. Okay, um, and regarding the, um, the fact that.

00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:56.000
It is not legal for anyone under 16 to ride an e-bike. Did he share.

00:22:56.000 --> 00:23:05.000
Um, enforcement with that, if they… Do they have interactions with kids that look like they're not 16?

00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:11.000
That's a good question, and I don't know that we asked that question specifically.

00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:14.000
Um, so I don't have a good answer for that one. Okay, sorry.

00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:23.000
Thank you. I appreciate it, of course. Any other questions?

00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:35.000
Thanks, Dr. Wenzo. Of course. Board President's Report, I just want to congratulate once again, all of the student athletes, um, and accomplishments of our student-athletes, and.

00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:40.000
teams throughout the season. I know field hockey plays tomorrow, uh, in their next, um.

00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:49.000
game… But I think most others are all done at this point as we head into November, so just congratulations on that.

00:23:49.000 --> 00:24:02.000
Um, also just wanted to highlight, to mark calendars, because I did not see it on the district calendar, the, um… Hershey High School theater Department's fall play, Little Women, um, which is also featuring one of our student representatives.

00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:10.000
Uh, in the cast will be, uh, the weekend of the 21st, so make sure to mark your calendar. It's general admission tickets.

00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:12.000
Um, and I know the kids are working real hard on that.

00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:21.000
Um. It's always just a pleasure to get to attend all these different events and see our student body, um.

00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:30.000
in action, and the things that they're doing, and the way that they show care to one another through Trojan Buddies and community events, and… Um.

00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:41.000
just heartwarming to see our… our student body be such a… embrace the sense of community. So, um, everything we can do to get out there and support them at the various events is, um.

00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:52.000
Always a great opportunity, so… That is all I have for this evening. Um… We will now have our final recognition of citizens in public comment period for the evening.

00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:55.000
opportunity… this is the opportunity for residents and taxpayers.

00:24:55.000 --> 00:25:06.000
To address the board on matters related to the agenda, or matters of district governance that were not on the agenda this evening, we'll follow the same guidelines outlined at the initial public comment portion of our meeting.

00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:19.000
Uh, there is no one in our in-person audience still, so I will invite anyone attending and participating online who would like to participate in public comment to please raise your hand now.

00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:26.000
None at this time. Okay, then, uh, with that, is there anything else for the good of the order?

00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:32.000
Our next public board of directors meeting will be Monday, November 17th, 2025, beginning at 7pm.

00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:37.000
Please refer to the district website to register for virtual attendance. May I have a motion to adjourn this meeting?

00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:44.000
So, move to the… Second, Jennifer Renz? All in favor, say aye. Aye. Any opposed, no.

00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:48.000
Our meeting's adjourned at 7.25 PM. Thank you, and have a great night.
