As you can imagine it has Char said there was two sold options and the process that they just had it all began in January. There was a high school preview. I think like a week before the show which encouraged a lot of people to attend and even some interest in the drama club the senior trip the seniors and parents were very thankful to be the day earlier as to avoid the 2AM departure and they were very thankful to the board and Mr. Klaus for the approval for the changes. The Freshman dance is going to be April 12th on the seniors are on the The peer leaders are trying to make a new Initiative for no Tech Tuesday. So they're basically launching a challenge for students to stay off of their phones during hallway passing  and during lunch as to increase student interaction and like a chance to say hi to each other in the hallways. The SAT was I think last Saturday, which was the new online version which was according to student feedback. It was challenging due to the first application of that. Tomorrow is the equity Summit where 70 students signed up to participate in the school day Summit and they were working groups and developing  action plan for the high school. The full school will have an assembly with a guest speaker named cam awesome or formerly known as lendri Thompson. He's a championship boxer and he  provides captivating presentations and purposeful activities designed to nurture gratitude and reshape  perspectives. Tomorrow's awesome Miss Michaels 50th  birthday. So it's a big day.  That's So next year, we'll have to have them coming through this music before and shows the one that's important poor  planning on Mr. Cloud support. I just want to say when I was young and the principal High School on the senior trip. I've got two o'clock in the morning. It's 24 hours. You can't believe this McHale is getting salt. I just um, but that it sounds silly but When you get to the high school two o'clock in the morning, so you're up at 11. You didn't get your room at the hotel until 11 next month. So you're literally up for 24 hours It was and what happened was in day two. Kids are tired. They feel sick. They just you lose a day. So even though it was a little bit of stress to do it. Um You know what the heck it's worth it. Yeah, so  For you. Yeah, and what were your thoughts on a compared to the old one? I liked it because personally I'm not a big reader. So I didn't like the chunkier reading sections and on this sat they're much shorter and each question comes with its own paragraph So you're reading probably like 40 paragraphs as opposed to like Seven different readings, but I know for some people they felt like one  section was harder than another or like they felt like they weren't really ready for that change in reading. So I think like with more practice if  it'll get easier, but for me, I liked it better. Okay, and it's sure that's it it is so if you do really well on the first module the seconds harder which Can be scary. Yeah, but it's scary if you don't get yeah.  Yeah, start learning and and it's only an hour and a half now, right which is much which is better, right? I think you're right though time will  tell because they'll have to adjust. These yeah feedback.  On this one. Okay.  All right, moving on to our our board committee reports. The only one we have tonight. I guess it's great. I did watch last weeks. Everyone did great sure you I did not watch it in life real time. We had a finance. To get March 19th. We had six agenda topics. The first was the volleyball which was brought up last time. Well, everybody wants to support a  new program. We obviously a budgetary constraints which we're dealing with now. I think we went back and we're gonna  ask a couple more questions in the volleyball folks to see if it's going to be a pay for credit potentially early on like a lot of the other sports see things that we can pitch in whether it's busing or insurance or maybe a small detours it but we're considering that also and we haven't forgotten about the crew people because that was sort of before so it's it's integrated conversation for all of them. So more to follow on that the toilet room Renovations, they're down to one partition. here in the high school that they needed to come in and they'll complete the work. We think it was necessary to have the prescription manager here. Give us that update. The Fourth of July celebration we came to agreement. We're going to allow the use of our bleachers.  And and food trucks would be on Sylvan Ave. I guess I guess more to follow from the Fourth of July committee, but they'll have used more bleachers. We're gonna keep people off the field so it doesn't damage the turf, but but that should be nice event. Things actually on July 3rd this year. upcoming projects We have some Esser funds that we need to spend we're looking at doing four  toilet room Renovations at Tatum. the seawing elevator in this bill in the sea wing most likely in the summer of 2025 because we can't get the parts in to get it done 2024 that has to be in operation during school. Or hopefully order this stuff haven't ready and get it done in the summer 25. And we're looking at some Rod grants for the roof. restoration at the high school annotative  right now elevator still operational, right? This is preventative elevators operational. It's a little David it's worth trying to get In Memento Jewish Army day.  We're going to recognize that they and they're good planted tree. when it's better time of year, and that's not my specialty, but I'm assuming the spring and the tree will be located on the Sylvan side outside the wrestling group.  the football locker room update we got a request for some furniture and some A new carpet on the flooring. Obviously. I think the carpet is a safety issue. We thought the cover was a safety issue. So we're going to look to replace that. So nobody slipping and falling the furniture is not something we're going to support because there's some furniture there and it just again budgetary wise. It's just not worth it for just the locker room. And that was the funny thing. Any questions to program? I actually want to add that partition for the tournament. The toilet room here is actually received by the contractor today their schedule right? Thank you.  Okay, um any PTA updates? Got a Lizzy had an update.  we both oh, yes you Know what order to go? I've never done anything yet. They had visits from the canine visits in the classrooms that were very popular. They're gonna look to continue to do that. They had a literacy night. well received as driver sales and how we say. Oh they did a Harlem Globetrotters. where the chorus saying at the event. that was neat for the kids and about 300 folks from the school showed up at that so they were pleased with that turnout. upcoming events bookworms spaghetti  Bingo parent socials the normal stuff there  Was that was the main topics?  And they're excited for their shade. That's gonna be coming that they donate insurance.

So, um as you see Dr. Preola one on a season, A decade on Journey you find a new Middle School prison, but it's been a long process and you know did a great job at it's a very thorough process. It's quite a grind. Um, and after our third round third time through we finally don't know Mike Michael who's here with us tonight.  I'm not trying to  my 70 years as a system principle in prints with Delray middle school. So we're still working Delran, which is a great thing. Great thing for us not so much in Delran, but I I the committee that you know put together a lot of people from from water wire as soon as they met Mike he was a candidate and we're really excited to have him here the Michael dinner conversation might be interesting thing. I discuss the transition from me. That's all right. That's fun, man.  But like if I don't know if you want to say welcome Mike, we're really happy to have you really excited. We actually got on multiple counselor from Delran earlier this year and he was just he's grabbing the hallways and you guys got the winner. This is this now staying home if you add anything to that. Well, I just want to add so all of the candidates they people who make it all the way through the prostate they go through five separate  interviews over about two and a half period so we definitely put them through their paces and to those interviews include a panel that Mr. Class reference. So the panel includes several teachers support staff members and parents. So the panels meet with each candidate over the course of two weeks for about two hours. So after those two hours the panel concluded that Mike was the most poised the most Visionary the most Student Center candidate that we have. There's another panel of students that we have about eight students now those students met with the two  fought too. finalists for about 20 minutes and after 20 minutes the students conclude that Mr. Michael is the most Poise mostly candidate that we had and in fact, I we prepared a public press release that will go out tomorrow in anticipation of the board's approval tonight, and I also met with the student group this morning that the panel flip them know of Mr. Michael's selection.  They were all super excited asked a lot of Questions, and we're really happy really excited for what Mr. Mckelman for each School. We're gonna say yeah. just don't want to thank you all for this  opportunity. I'm really excited to get you know over this coming months the building and the staff. I really can't wait till September you get to know the kids. This is a great opportunity. I really  and it's happy. We are seem like come on board. We have retirement. that Landry she came to The District in 2017 or 17 years later. She's retiring her most recent position was getting Talent teacher. This is why prior to that she was at  Haddon is a classroom teacher for years.  An outstanding teacher better person. So wonderful time compassionate person, but  after a long career toward the end of her career you have this gift these gifts and tell us a new position. Look two years old and that's like I want to take this I'm taking on and it's a great. here you go, which is kind of exciting but also kind of scary because he's like,  what did we don't know really figure out so she dealt the program and it's going very well. It's Of what years better than we had three years ago.  And so Deb took it on. for the edit the career right and and created and build it and which is a hard thing to to do because you know, I'm talking about like yeah, this is what we would say and it's like well how that happens is it that's what we want you to do. I keep going to be a great idea. I don't know how to put it in play she did and she did it very well. And so the next person takes her place to set up for Success because Dad worked so hard because that's who she is. once again a great teacher better person and if you ask her what she came to work for every day, it was kids. That's what she really cared about. That was her passion and I'm wishing her the best of luck and she's gonna be surely best. I will say that I was on the front end. of watched our with Science Olympiad and I know your kids were out too and didn't watch her, you know get all of these kids. so fired up and spent so much of their own time learning about science and getting excited about science. She was just special. Yeah and some gentle I appreciate and not gentle in many things.  described me. She's just so patient and kind and wonderful human being It yeah really sucks.

I think we're going to spend a great deal of time really working on the district goals board goals that and how they want to our mission statement and stitching that I can find something to read about that like, oh, yeah, like just you know, like maybe there's something something out there that might give us some direction our guidance. I would know I was going to submit to you guys. just some interactive exercises. So I mean my thought was that and I don't have it all together yet, but I'll get it out to you. So, you know, we start with the mission statement and them we start to break down what some of our goals might be and we think about those in advance and we bring them and then you know, we'll have get a white orders and sticky notes and then start to categorize them. You know, we think that we have goals and we start to see that there's a theme we put them together and then the most important part is how to make them actionable and how to make the measureable.  So I think that there's going to be a decent amount. Okay. So yeah. And structure. So yeah, that's what that's good. Yeah, sounds good. anything else  Okay, um motion to adjourn. you see
