Um we have a number of things tonight in our superintendence report and we're very excited to be able to honor um a number of our students and we're going to start with our women's basketball team and just talk you a little bit about what they're doing and the run that they happen to be on right now. Um and I would encourage you to to go out if you get a chance. Uh these ladies can play. Um it's very very impressive. So, um, this evening we're proud to recognize and celebrate the outstanding achievements of the William Tennet girls basketball team and their dedicated coaching staff. This season has been nothing short of exceptional, marked by historic accomplishments, teamwork, and excellence both on and off the court. The team finished the regular season with an impressive 17-5 record and captured the Upper Maran Holiday Tournament Championship for the third consecutive year, which is a testament to the program's consistency and competitive spirit. They also earned the So Freedom Division title. It's only the fourth division championship in program history, and it's the first since 1988. Wow. So 38 years in the making. and and they're the first team in 38 years to do that. Adding to this remarkable season, the team has made school history as the first boys or girls basketball team to qualify for the so tournament, securing a victory in their inaugural appearance. And they've also earned the ninth ninth seed in the district tournament and will host a first round playoff game against CR South this Friday. Individual accomplishments further highlight this historic season. We have two seniors. This is astounding. Avery Koser and Haley Stal both surpassed the 1,000 career point milestone. [applause] [applause] becoming just the fourth and fifth players in program history to reach this achievement. And notably, this milestone has not been attained by any player in the program in 34 years. And this year, we had two on the same team do it. So, this is this is rare air. So, on behalf of the board and the Centennial School District community, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to the student athletes and the coaching staff. Um, and and I I should mention too, all of this is is a team effort in the parents. I mean, as parents, you know, you support, you do a lot of driving back and forth from practices early on. Um, it takes a lot of time and in any activity, whether it's athletics, arts, you name it, the support of families. And so, just just it's an affirmation of everything that you all do. Your hard work, your perseverance, your dedication. You've brought a lot of pride to William Tennant and to our district. and inspired the whole community. So, thank you so much. Um, so we have some certificates and I'm just going to call out all of them. I know not everybody could come out tonight. Tests things going on. But when we come up, um, I'll call your name. If you don't mind coming up, we'll just hand you a certificate.

And I can tell you MBIT does an incredible job and our students walk out of MBIT ready to walk into the workforce. It's an incredible program and we're so proud that so many of our students not only go there but represent themselves in the district the way they do. These events connect students and industry leaders with industry leaders, promoting high standards for employment while fostering leadership, teamwork, and professionalism. MBIT earned nine first place medals, 29 second place medals, and 13 third place medals. The first place finishers will head to the state competition in Hershey later this year with hopes of going to nationals this summer. There are several William Tennant High School students who completed or competed in Skills USA and some of them are with us here tonight along with their parents.

We are going to do um student presentations. Alexis Collie and Elizabeth Peterson. Hello. I thank you all again for welcoming that me back this month. So with the end of midterms, we have recently started the third marking period and students have now begun course selection and we have started our new virtualbased AP request system. Now students do not have to turn in any physical papers to request AP classes and can simply do it online. The William Tennant Key Club recently volunteered at Cradles to Crayons in Philadelphia. members help sort bags of clothing donations which will be distributed to those in need. We are very proud of all of our students who volunteered. And just to re reiterate a little bit what Dr. Lucaba said earlier um following Avery Kokur's recent 1,000 point achievement. Senior basketball player Haley Stab has also reached her a thousand career point. And these two seniors mark the first time since 1991 that a William Tennant girls basketball player has reached 1,000 points. And this season marks the first time in 38 years that the William Tennant girls basketball team has won its division. They also won a game on Friday night in the suburban one tournament against the Shamony. And we wish our girls good luck as they advance into the playoffs, including a home game on Friday night against Council Rock South. Also, I am very excited to announce that I, Alexis Calling, was named Suburban One League Athlete of the Week and I am one of two tenant athletes to receive this award so far this school year. [applause] Thank you. [laughter] In addition, we held our annual William Tennant Miss Panther event on January 22nd. The girls competed in academic, athletic, and talent events. And we were very proud to announce Kina Vieiraa as this year's winner, who received the crown from last year's Miss Panther, Aubry Moldenaldo. On January 24th, we also held the annual winter winter ball dance with fun music and food for students to enjoy. And we were very happy with what yet another successful event. We are also prepping for black and white night which is to be held on February 25th, 26th and 27th and practices for musical performance, synchronized swimming and dance have begun as well as poster meetings. We hope to have yet another successful event this year. Furthermore, the William Tennant Magicals are prepping for the Temple University ac capella festival which will be held in March. Our third theater department is also very hard at work prepping the spring musical Mean Girls as they are a month into their rehearsals. All of the cast and crew are very excited to bring this production together and I thank you so much for having me again and I wish you all a wonderful night. >> Thank you. [applause] >> Congratulations. >> Thank you. >> [snorts] >> Sorry guys. Uh, hello. My name is Elizabeth Peterson and I a junior at William Tennant High School. I'm also a proud level 200 student in networking and operating system security program at Middle Institute of Technology. First up tonight, February is career and technical education month, a time dedicated to raising public awareness and celebrating the impact and achievements of CTE programs nationwide. Across the Commonwealth, CTE schools play a critical role in meeting local workforce needs by providing students with opportunities to learn alongside trained professionals and by reinforcing the essential place for technical education and the place that it holds within our educational system. In recognition of CTE month, MBIT is continuing its support the trades t-shirt initiative and fundraiser. Proceeds from t-shirt sales in the school store will directly support MBIT students attending Skills USA national competitions, further investing in student success beyond the classroom. The sport the trades t-shirts are also currently on sale on the mbitschoolstore.com website. Next, the spring adult education class the spring adult education classes are now underway, providing community members with opportunities to build new skills, advance their careers, and explore hands-on training in in high demanding fields. These courses support workforce development by offering practical industry industry relevant instruction and flexible learning options that meet the needs of adult learners while strengthening connections between MBIT and the broader community. Next up, members of the Home and Builders Association of Bucks and Montgomery counties conducted a site evaluation at MBIT as part of the Pennsylvania Builders Association endorsed trade program. The evaluation focused on the electrical technology, building construction trades, plumbing, and carpentry programs, and highlighted the passion, purpose, and high-quality instruction that takes place daily, reinforcing the strength of MBIT's industry partnerships and career focused programming. Lastly, the MBIT Media Associate Internship and Student Influencer Program continue to expand student leadership, communication, and real world workforce skill development at MBIT. Through these initiatives, students pay students play an active role in supporting recruitment events, school tours, presentations, video production, and authentic social media storytelling that highlights the experiences and achievements taking place across our 21 career and technical programs. Media associate interns collaborate on professional level projects including event coverage, newsletter feature, newsletter features, digital campaigns, and community outreach efforts while student influencers serve as authentic student ambassadors who help represent MBIT to prospective students, families, and community partners. Together, these programs provide meaningful hands-on experiences that strengthen students communication, marketing, teamwork, and leadership skills while amplifying student voice [clears throat] and promoting the value of career and technical education throughout the region. Thank you for taking the time to stay updated on all the exciting happenings at Middle Bucks Institute of Technology. Be sure to follow us on social media and keep up with the latest news, achievements, and events at NBIT. Thank you. Thank you. [applause] >> Okay, moving right along. Comprehensive plan presentation. All right. Good evening again everyone and tonight we have the pleasure of presenting our comprehensive plan overview to our board. This is something that we recently gave at our educational committee and tonight I along with Dr. Michael Zacken and Mrs. Althia Tomlinson are going to walk you through our comp plan, give you some of the overviews, the timelines, and next steps. Just provide way of background, as many of you know, we are required uh in Pennsylvania, PTE requires the comp plan to be passed every 3 years. And those three years actually come very quickly. uh no sooner do you stop one comprehensive plan and start and then you have to start anticipating the next one. But our comp plan for the 2026 2029 school years is really our strategic roadmap. Think of it as that road map, that plan that helps us to align our priorities. It helps us to make sure that our organizational systems are in place to support continuous improvement for the district and most importantly to make sure that we are achieving our student outcomes and future readiness for all students. This plan that you're currently looking at and you'll hear about tonight was actually started in January of 2025 and we wanted to be very intentional in carrying on the work that was established previously. The district has taken tremendous strides academically to bring up test scores and we want to build on the success that has happened over the past several years. Some excellent work that's been going on in our district and we wanted to make sure that we take the reigns and continue that work and pull that forward. And so that was a very intentional part of our work and our priorities to make sure that we maintain that consistency and that continuity with this plan. Um there are three essential elements of the comprehensive planning process. I'm going to speak to the ready portion which is the preparation stage. Then Dr. Zachin is going to talk about the set portion is where we conduct a very comprehensive needs assessment. And then Mrs. Tomlinson is going to talk about the go portion which is the actual written plan, what it looks like and what you can expect and what you'll be voting on later on in the month. As you can see on that screen, there are a lot of components that go into it. And I'll speak a little bit about the ready component. Right now, there are three uh primary things that we have to do. Form a timeline, identify educational values, and establish a mission and a vision. And I'll start first with that timeline. And as you can see, it's a very extensive timeline. There are a lot of green checks. Uh the most recent of which is tonight where we present our plan to the full centennial board. But you can see going back to January of 2025 and all the way through. And I want to give uh a shout out. He wasn't able to be here tonight. But I want to especially thank Mr. Chad Evans from the BCIU for his work in shephering this process over the last 12 months or more. Um we had to form a comprehensive planning committee. there were uh community stakeholders and as you can see and I won't read every one of those pieces but there are a lot of check marks and and and pieces that we need to complete to bring this through as you can see on the 24th for full centennial board approval and our plan has been posted um for the required 28 days and we have been receiving feedback along the way. So a little bit about that committee and what it involved. It was a 40 member steering committee and it was nominated by peers and it was comprised of students, parents, community members, faculty, staff, administration. There were members of our board who were in uh also present and that work was shared for feedback with student focus groups with parent faculty focus groups. For example, um in my parent advisory group, we presented the plan for feedback to our parents. We also assembled a student group. We went over to William Tennant. We ran the plan through them and then our students gave us feedback on that plan on the plan and then we also presented to our committees multiple times to get additional feedback um and with faculty groups throughout. So, it was very important to be constantly asking folks, what do you think? Are there adjustments we need to make? Do you have advice for us? Things that we can do to make this a really robust plan. And it's worth mentioning that these are some this is something that districts have to do every 3 years. It's a non-negotiable. It's very easy to complete the plan and then just put it on the shelf and say, "Okay, check the box. We've done our comp plan. We have our three years taken care of." I'm very proud to say that the group that we assembled did not take that approach. We said we want this plan to be something that's very living, breathing, organic, and it's part of our DNA. It's part of our district's work. We want this plan to be something that we touch often, that we talk about, that we're conversant, and we really wanted to shape the direction of the district, and really be that guidepost for our decisions, for the the vision, the mission, and everything that we do to serve students. And so, this comp plan is not something that's going to go on a shelf. rather it's something that's going to be a very prominent part of the work, the decisions that you make and the things that we do to serve every one of our students here in the district. So, you've heard a lot about this compass and you will continue to hear a lot about the compass and this really came as a result of us asking ourselves, what are our values as a district? What are our educational values and what does that [clears throat] look like in action? And it starts with, if you see on the top, that that north star, that student centered focus. And we believe, and we don't just say this, these are not just words. Everything we do as a district, every decision we make, the conversations that we engage in, the things that we talk about are all deeply rooted in what is best for our students. And we commit. And if you see each of the the compass points, there are two phrases. One says we believe, and one says we commit. And so I'm not going to read those all to you. You've seen this before. But I do want to point out the one uh below student centered focus which is that unified effort. And this is where that teamwork and collaboration comes in. Research shows that high-erforming districts have a very unique characteristic. It's where every adult who works in that district fervently believes that they can cause learning. And it doesn't have to be just teachers. It's anyone who works in a school district, the interdependence of their work and how that helps to drive student achievement and student outcomes and student success for every student, whatever that looks like for a student. And so we're very excited about the unified effort, the leadership with integrity, creating access and opportunity for students to get past barriers, and then that excellence in teaching. That's something that that our cabinet team will continue to honor and make a focal point of our work. And so we'll continue to talk about the compass, but we're very excited about the direction that it provides. Included in this ready work was also the development of a vision and a mission statement. Think of a vision statement as the what. What is it that you want? And then think of the mission statement as the how. Here's what we are and then there's this how we'll do it. A lot of mission statements and vision statements, if you walk into corporations or organizations, sometimes they're huge. They're on a wall in their paragraphs and people they'll look at them. We thought as a committee we want a very simple, profound, strong vision statement that tells us what we're all about. And after many, many, many iterations and some wonderful conversation with everyone, we came down to this very succinct, powerful statement, which is providing access and opportunity for every single student to develop their unique potential. And the committee was very focused on the three A's in academics, athletics, and the arts. That was a a part of previous centennial focal statements and mission statements. And we wanted to honor the past and continue that work moving forward. So that's what we want. Access and opportunity for kids to develop their unique talents in those three areas. How will we do it? We'll do it by empowering the growth of the whole student through excellence and exceptional teaching and learning experiences. Because whether it is social emotional learning, athletics, the arts, academics, it's all about teaching. It's all about helping students to grow and get better. And so that is our prep section of the comp plan. Next, I'm going to turn it over to Dr. Michael Zachin to talk about the set portion. Thank you, Dr. Luca, and uh members of the board. I appreciate the opportunity to stand in front of you to present the set portion of our comprehensive plan for the next three years. And I will be covering what you see here is data analysis, supplemental plans, summary of strengths and challenges. And they're all number one because they're all that important. Um, but in all seriousness, um, the section I'm going to cover is uh, data analysis, the needs assessment, and the set portion is, if you will, holding a mirror up. What What are we good at? Where do we need to improve? what do we need to build upon? Um and um coming to these meetings, many that Dr. Lucaba referenced, it was the 30,000 ft view. Where is it? Where are we as an organization K12 in all our various areas? These are the data points, the bullets that reflected an analysis for that 30 30,000 foot view. And then and you can see the breadth of this data and um the PEOS which stands for Pennsylvania Pennsylvania value added assessment measures is the growth measurement. Um it's a it's a point of pride coming here point of pride and recognizing that it's an area to celebrate but also achievement measures. What are our achievement? Where do we need to grow with our achievement? And I'm just going to call out as well the William Tennant High School WTHs William Tennant High School program and dual enrollment opportunities also references not just achievement, not just growth, not just how our students are doing on tests, but also the additional opportunities we afford students in Centennial School District. That's all part of the consideration for the data analysis when setting the goals and priorities which um Mrs. Tomlinson will talk about. the supplemental plans. This this she this uh this um uh slide right here um reflects a tremendous amount of work from many people in the organization and I'm looking back at many of them here at this table. Um and you could you could probably have a presentation on every single one of these. In fact, they are a required um uh component of the comprehensive plan and a presentation. Some are three years, some are six years. Um, and each one touches arguably every single area of our organization. The academic standards and assessment requirements reflects ensuring we're meeting we're meeting the standards as put forth by the state of Pennsylvania. The which is chapter 4, the act 48 professional development. Uh, and a shout out to our office of teaching and learning that often runs point on this, making sure that we are providing the professional development that the the teachers, the staff are requesting they need to serve our students. And I'll highlight as well as the other six-year strategic asurances, if you will, the chapter 12, chapter 49, um, they are and and the act 49, the induction plan, they're all requirements. the the induction plan is the um the new teacher academy. The um the chapter 16 is the guidelines for our gifted. Um so there this this supplemental plans all has to be in place for a comprehensive plan and there's a lot here and it's and summarized but we need to be we need to make sure every and that the the check marks these all have to be checked off and they are so the strengths and this was done in in coordination Dr. Lugabar referenced this with our our students, our staff, um which includes teachers, includes sports staff, our administrators, our parents, you as some of you are part of the committee. Um and I will just summarize and you'll be able to you can read this in in detail on on the website. Um that the coordination of fiscal resources from local, state, and federal programs was recognized as a strength. the insurance of effective standards aligning curriculum or that our resources are aligned recognizes a strength. You know, the fostering a vision of a culture of high expectations and a phrase that someone shared with me was a no excuses culture here. Um the idea that we are operating as a unified system or that point on the compass is is the insure assurance of and maintaining a focus system on continuous improvement as well as the support and development of professional learning of the central office and our school-based staff in alignment with district and school mission vision goals or in other words that we're investing in human capital. And I think um if I could these aren't just successes to celebrate but I want to recognize that these are the foundation that we build from and that what we will recognize where we can go and grow and [clears throat] that would go next to the challenges as outlined by the feedback provided to us some areas I will highlight making sure that every classroom every teacher every staff member has and is equipped with the the resources for um high impact strategies that we are building our team, the principal team, the supervisory team to have the capacity to supervise those high impact strategies, the high quality teaching and learning that instructional excellence that was recognized on the compass as well as well as that the allocation of resources, money, staff, professional learning materials is done with data-driven decision-m you know this is the these are the areas that we're looking to grow. This is what we're going to reference and reflect in the go portion. Mr. Tomlinson, >> good evening everyone. I'm Ala Tomlinson. I'm a supervisor here in the district and it has been my great honor to carry the plan, the comprehensive plan forth with the team and the committee through all of the changes over the last year and I have been very excited to present this to you today to talk about how we've looked at our strengths and our challenges. We went through the data, we worked together, we got feedback from the community and what did we develop as an actionable plan as the written plan. This is going to be the outline for our work for the next three years. So PD requires that based on the data that we looked at the challenges, the strengths that we establish priorities and so the committee put together two buckets. One bucket of priority is achievement and growth. The other bucket access and engagement. Based on those two buckets, we came up with three priority statements. The first is that if we address the challenge, the areas of challenge and concern around access and engagement, our families, community, faculty, and staff will have what they need to feel a sense of belonging and have the support to ensure students are prepared for post-secary education, career, and life readiness. The second priority statement, if we continue to strengthen our curriculum, our core instruction, our systems of support for learners, then our learners will be prepared for post-secary education, career, and life readiness. And our final priority statement is that if we strengthen our organizational systems to enhance employee efficacy in alignment with improving achievement, growth, access, and engagement, we will be better able to address our priority challenges. Based on these priorities, we then needed to develop goals. Again, developing three goals that are specifically aligned to those priority statements. The first goal is that by the end of the 2028 29 school year, Centennial will have strengthened access, engagement, and communication for our diverse stakeholder groups, families, which includes parents, guardians, and students, community, and faculty and staff. Our second goal is that by the end of the 2028 2029 school year, all schools will demonstrate continuous improvement in student success across a variety of growth and achievement measures. [snorts] And the third goal is that by the end of the 2028 29 school year, the district will strengthen organizational systems to enhance employee efficacy and student success. Based on these goals, the committee came up with a series of action steps. These are the things that we are going to do to meet these goals by 20 the 2028 29 school year. These action steps can actually apply to multiple goals. In or order to make it a little bit more palatable or digestible and and understood, we took those goals and I put action steps underneath each one. Um, but they could apply to multiple goals. So, one action step could serve multiple purposes. But let's look at this first goal. A few examples of action steps that we're going to work towards. We're going to implement a district-wide communication and engagement framework that promotes equitable and multilingual access to information. We are going to establish formal parent and community partnerships that are inclusive of all stakeholder groups. expand engagement events and outreach with an emphasis on communication to increase participation. We're going to align attendance and intervention protocols, meaning that we are going to align attendance, outreach, and professional learning practice across all schools, focusing on documented use of tiered attendance strategies and intervention logs. [cough and clears throat] Action steps aligned with goal number two. We're going to implement a standardsbased instructional system K through 12 to drive continuous student achievement through rigorous and relevant instruction. This system requires all teachers to anchor practice in clearly communicated learning objectives and utilize strategic formative and summitative assessment for ongoing progress monitoring. We're going to establish consistent data review and assessment protocols, requiring all teachers to administer and analyze common assessments in each content area and engage in quarterly data reviews with professional learning communities, um, departments or teams and to identify the trends and instructional next steps. We are also going to sustain our foundational student support systems that we already have in place, maintaining and expanding schoolwide MTSS and positive behavior systems, PBIS, K through 12, and align student services to promote academic growth, well-being, and continuous staff and development. And the action steps most closely aligned to goal number three is to develop and implement a district-wide centennial specific portrait of graduate. We also have a link here just so that for those individuals who are not familiar with a portrait of a graduate, a portrait of a graduate is an ability to create a framework or a design for what a centennial student when they graduate William Tennant High School, what skills, what abilities, what should they have in order to be successful in their world today? And so creating this framework, this portrait will help all of the members of our organization to work towards supporting every student to be able to have those skills. And so creating this portrait of a graduate will help our diverse stakeholders. um we will be able to pro have feedback and provide uh college and career ready competencies for board approval and that will help us to support our students in making sure that they are successful for their future. This will also build leadership and cross department capacity to embed this portrait of a graduate within our district systems. So not just within the classroom but within everything that we're doing. And so looking back to our compass, student first decisions, right? So when we take all of these action steps and we put them together, we are going to again present the work over the next three years. These are a lot of action steps. They're not going to happen overnight and they're not all going to happen in 2020, 28,29. So we are going to be working over the next three years on each of these steps strategically. The final plan is published on our website. It has all of these details. We have posted it um for 28 days for community feedback. The 28 days closed last evening. Um but if you still go and visit the website, you can read the plan. Um and we will be available to answer questions for the board with more detail um if you have any. and what we're presenting here tonight. Um we are asking for you to review this finalized plan and vote to approve the plan um at the next board meeting on February 24th. Um and hopefully um we will be able to get to work on 20 our next comprehensive plan moving forward next three years. So thank you very much. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. All right, Mr. Greenwood. Liminary budget. Do I just shoot close this? There you go. All right. [clears throat] Excuse me, gentlemen in the back. There we go. Thank you very much. It's been quite a night. So, I uh I appreciate us all hanging in there. Um uh I have tonight uh you know I think we are stepping uh squarely into budget season right as we uh completed uh on the 29th a budget workshop. uh on the 27th we voted to uh uh not move forward with the uh early adoption plan and we are I think uh all feet in on the budget cycle. So I expect these more more and more of these meetings to come. So, as we get started, our look at our norms, our look at our focus. Heard a lot about that. Uh, tonight as we shared um on the 29th um a a visual for uh our work this year, really illustrating a pathway or a bridge uh to improved financial stability. Um and tonight um we want to share uh a proposed uh preliminary plan preliminary budget um based on the board's vote on the 27th not to adopt the act one accelerated budget opt out resolution. We now have a series of steps that are mandatory uh and are required steps as we move through. It's always important that this is the preliminary budget, right? We won't I won't say that no fewer than 10 times in the next 10 minutes, right? That it is the preliminary budget. Um that it's not the final budget. It's not June yet. Um so there is a lot of work to be done. Uh the proposed preliminary budget refers to an act one preliminary budget that school districts must prepare and submit to the Pennsylvania Department of Education when the district doesn't opt out. So this budget is referred to as the preliminary because it is the preliminary. Uh it's an interim legally required step uh with the act one on the act one timeline. All right. what it is not, right? Sometimes you can define something by what it is not, right? It's not the final budget. It's not a commitment to a tax increase and it's not an approval to exceed the act one. So, we're clear on what it is and what it is not. I hope a special meeting has been scheduled for next Tuesday uh the 17th as it has been advertised. A copy of the proposed preliminary budget uh in CFRS form is on our website. It's been on our website for a week now uh for public inspection and our preliminary budget as shared at our workshop uh is looking at a 3.5% increase um which would have total revenues of 154,118,000 expenditures of 161,181 1,000 and a deficit of just over $7 million. Um, again, it's important to understand where we are and realize that the preliminary budget is just that and we have a significant amount of work to do between tonight and June when we seek to uh push forward a final budget. some of the numbers inside. We talked about this during the workshop. I shared a slide about this uh in the board weekly update. Our one of our many challenges is a declining or flattening of both state and federal revenue. Federal revenue is declining over those picture here and state revenue is is leveling off. the governor's speech uh Tuesday, a week ago, while he presented a number of opportunities, none of those opportunities really fell into schools, school districts like Centennial, right? There's school districts that are have less less wealth um than than ours and are really targeted relief to ours. I think it's, you know, it was uh it's uh less than this last budget cycle. So, you know, for a budget purpose, I think the change was, you know, $75,000 difference between what we budgeted last year and what this budget ultimately began. What the plan has in it is really a flat level state budget with some increase because salaries increase uh and deal with the uh the retirement and the FICA uh subsidy that we get from the state. So that's the only thing that's truly changing. On the federal side, it is it is declined and it is now flattening with uh IDA and um the title [clears throat] funding really leveling off. That is that's a challenge against increasing cost. Just another picture at the revenue at the at the revenue assumptions. It's a 3 and a half% increase in real estate taxes. It's a decline in investment income as we're beginning to see that take effect now. Um little changes in other sources. state increases as as I said is up $353,000 really uh tied to the FICA and Paser subsidies federal running federal title funding is being held flat this year compared to what it actually came in at. We did have a lift uh back you know a year ago this time uh there was a lot of question about PTE there was a lot of question about title funding in general whether or not we were going to have it or not. Uh so we did back off a little bit but what I'm carrying forward into in the 2627 plan is based on the actuals for 2526. So I'm carrying any lift that we had this year uh keeping my fingers crossed and carrying it forward. And finally that there's no other draw down from any other funds in this budget. Right. So it is it is us at our most difficult moment on the expense side. Um the labor increases are based on the collective collective bargaining agreement and other work agreements. We have had our first look from the Delaware Valley Health Trust. We've been in touch I've been in touch with them every week since they gave me the first look because I couldn't believe it was the first look. uh but we are working very hard with them. Uh this does have their their increases in it. Um and then for all other expenses um I have them running flat compared to 2526 right not that all expenses will be you know are created the same right where we have increases we are expecting to see decreases. Um so it will be a very targeted a very uh very indepth plan. Um as we talked about in our workshop right we're looking at at zero budgeting starting from the ground building them up one one line at a time one department at a time one area at a time. the next couple of slides and I'll jump through them really look at the revised timeline as we move through with a uh a preliminary budget. In the past when we had accepted the opt out resolution we sort of then started getting jumping into the meat of the budget and dealing with it until we got to June working through it until we got to June. Under this scenario uh we have some reporting steps that we need to take. Um, one is the adoption of the preliminary budget which is due by the 18th, hence our meeting um, next Tuesday on the 17th, then submitting that uh, on the PTE website by the 23rd. Um, and then moving those steps forward as we go through. So, you have a copy of these uh, on your desk, each of the board members. you'll see the steps that take us through March into May and then with a final budget uh due certainly by June 30th of the end of the year. Our current steps and where we continue to be focused uh on the three mitigation categories that we reviewed at our workshop on the 27th, personnel and staffing, programs and services, and financial strategies. We're uh getting ready to jump into the staffing and scheduling as students have come back and have uh selected done their course selection. We're working through uh placements and transfers of entity. Um as you had heard previously uh analyzing our uh vendors, who's who were we buying what from, how can we uh better align those resources and our budgeting going forward. And that's all I have. Any questions? >> Thank you. >> Thank you, Mr. Right. Moving forward, Mr. Saddowski. >> Yes. 4.1 Approval of the agenda.

And I know we probably can't discuss it here, but I'm moving blind because I I've got no additional information. If anybody else has, please let me know. >> Otherwise, I don't know how we could take any action on this without having the additional information. >> So, Mr. pardon.

Um, a few of us on the board were able to join the William Tennant robotics team on Friday evening for an open house and a check presentation by state rep Brian Monroe. Uh, thank you again to Representative Monroe for securing $35,000 for the robotic program. That goes a long way. Uh, but I really wanted to shout out the students. Um, it's one thing to talk to Mr. Distler who is wonderful and he has boundless energy for supporting our students and the robotics program and the STEM learners but to get a tour of the robotics lab by the students themselves and get a chance to hear their excitement and their passion for the variety of different roles and things they do and that they're working on firsthand. Uh that was wonderful and I appreciate the opportunity very much. I know that they all put in long weekend hours after that late evening on Friday uh as the team prepares for the first robotics competition. So just an again an excellent opportunity for our students and thanks again to Mr. Distler and many others including as we said earlier with the uh with the athletics program the parents who give so much time and energy to make it all possible. So thanks everyone for that. >> Can I add to that? >> Absolutely. So it was a great uh a great afternoon. Um I also the next day drug drag my hug husband back to the uh to the high school and um he's going to be a mentor whether he knows it or not but for those they're always looking for mentors for the um for the students. So anyone that you know knows electrical engineering mechanical engineering um even business and marketing they do everything um pretty amazing stuff that these kids are learning. It was great. >> Madam President I' I'd just like to get into the minutes a thank you to Dr. David Bolton for filling in his role in EHR uh from several months ago. I think today was his ending of his tenure. We now have a new person on board and I think he did a great job in getting us through those difficult times with hiring and all the stuff that goes along with HR. So I just like in the minutes to officially thank him for his efforts on our behalf. >> I agree, Mr. Martin. Thank you. Agreed. Anybody else? Any comments? All right, moving right along. District policy report. Mr. Saddowski. >> Uh, our next district policy meeting is coming up very soon. Um, let's see. That is next Tuesday, uh, February 17th at 4 p.m. So, don't miss it. It's going to be great. >> Okay. Um, uh, the Bucks [clears throat] County School Intermediate Unit, Mr. Godson. um wanted to first mention that uh the Bucks County IU have been in service for 55 years and they will have a logo you know there will you know show that for the year. Um [clears throat] uh additionally they added a new mobile lab service uh that was being recognized over the mobile lab uh uh ship uh facility in Warinster. Um, and a matter of fact, the mobile app was in Centennial this past week, I believe. Uh, both was at McDonald and Willowdale. >> That's correct. Um the box IU has stopped the service you know that they provide for the zero to threeyear-old uh students with vision and hearing services but the service will be continuing um with the effort you know through the county and potentially a number of IU staff providing this service outside of their regular work hours. So kudos you know to the IU staff that is uh helping um these students or youngsters to get through this uh difficult time. And lastly uh there was a legislative uh breakfast uh uh held at the IU. I attended that together with Dr. Lucab with a number of different uh state representatives. And one of the big things that's coming up is the a proposal to ban cell phones in the schools. And next the board meeting is actually next Tuesday. So I don't know if we have any ways of even moving our board uh meeting that's scheduled to 6:00 instead of 7:00. >> I believe it has to be advertised. It's been advertised. >> It's been advertised. So, unfortunately, that's a negative. Okay. Moving right along. PSBA. That would be me. So, as in last year, um scholarship application is open. Um student leadership scholarships provide a one-time award of up to 2500 or 5,000 to graduating seniors. Seniors, pay attention if you're watching at home from PSBA member dis districts who demonstrate leadership and meet the criteria criteria for one of the four scholarships. The Freerick scholarship, the Marcus scholarship, the HH Quimby scholarship, the Swopee scholarship. Now, let's get to the details so we don't miss it. The student must be enrolled in a PSBA member district and have attended a PSBA member district high school for a minimum of 3 years. Um, a joint letter of nomination from the district superintendent. Get ready for that. And school board president must be included in the applicant packet. Please include a 300 to 400word essay discussing what it means to be a leader today and how you plan on growing your leadership skills beyond high school. Let's go down to the deadline. Deadline is March 13th at 400 p.m. March 13th at 400 p.m. Seniors and parents. Um, to learn more about this one-time scholarship, you're going to go to scholarship psbatrust.org. Again, give you a second. Get your phone out, get your pens out. Scholarship psatrust.org. Get some money up to $5,000. And that was all. Now, we're going to go to Centennial Education Foundation, Mrs. Depalo, which now it's going to be Mr. Saddowski. I'll go. Yeah, I got it. Okay. Thank you. This is Crossson. Um so CF currently they are working on the scholarships for seniors. 26 seniors applied to CF scholarships for this year. Um the annual golf outing will be Friday, June 26th at Five Ponds. It starts at 10:00 a.m., but you can register um I think ahead of time, but also uh starting at 9:00 a.m. the day of the event. It the cost is $150 per golfer. Um CF is being nominated again for the best of bucks. There's a way to um vote for CF. Um there's a link for that. And then the big thing is the CF pawsome pets contest. Um you can enter your pet a picture of your pet and the top 15 pets pets that receive the most votes will appear in the calendar. Um let's see. So, for the top three pets that receive the most votes, first place prize is a $100 Wegman's gift card and a $50 Target gift card and a $25 PetSmart gift card, plus two tickets to Otherworld Philadelphia. Second place is a $25 Walmart gift card, $30 $30 Amazon gift card, a $25 Chewy gift card, and a Bark Box gift card. Last but not least, third place is a $25 Walmart gift card. Four mini golf passes to Helerix Adventure Farm. So, get your pictures in. The deadline is March 15th. Yes. To enter your pet photos. >> Heler is pretty fun. >> It is fun. Yeah. Thank Yeah. Um and I think that's it. And of course, Mr. Saddowski, thank you. Is taking over for me. >> Yeah. No problem. >> Thank you. Thanks. All right. Legislative council leazison, Mr. hotline. >> Okay. Um, as was previously mentioned, there is a cell phone ban bill that has actually passed out of the Senate 49 to1. It is now over in the House for consideration and discussion. So, we will keep an eye on that. Um, some other stuff that has come up through the last couple of weeks is a delay in secondary school start time. Once again, this comes through on a a regular basis to invert the uh start times where the younger children go earlier and the high school students go later. So once again, that has come through um and is sitting in committee at this point. Nothing has really moved on it. Uh just a few days ago, a AI weapons detection bill was introduced by two Bucks County legislators, Hogland and Labs. Um this would allow for the use of AI technology in the school if it's equipped with it to automatically notify um officers and the authorities if someone were to brandish a weapon of some type, mostly talking about firearms in this case. Um, so it'll be interesting to see where that goes. That was just introduced. There's also been a bill introduced to give some more um flexibility for the career and technical education schools, the um CTE [snorts] kind of giving them a little bit more of a school district versus being supported by the school districts. That is still sitting in committees. I don't want to speak anything more to it till it starts to move from committee to a to a floor vote, but that could be very interesting um in the coming year, especially considering the number of increases or the increase in student participation across the state in the CTEs um and the push for a lot of students going into career ready jobs. I mean, our Mbit is one of the leaders in really the country for this type of thing. So, it'll be interesting to see if this uh gains any traction and makes it makes its way out of committee. >> Thank you. All right. Any additional communications from the board? >> Oh, I'm sorry. MBIT, I missed you. >> Yeah, just a few things. >> Mr. Godson, >> Dr. Look, you know, of course, uh, you presented, you know, certificates to our successful winners, you know, from William Tennant, you know, at the MBIT skills, uh, um, USA. [clears throat] And it was pretty lucrative with 29 uh, second place winners, nine first place winners, and 13 uh, third place uh, placements. Um so it was a very very successful um piece uh and it leads us to the next piece that we have to deal with and that is of course the uh Milbox budget. We had a first look at it. Uh and there will be two presentations next week, one on the 18th and one on the 25th. Uh it is just a workshop presentation of the budget uh for the board members. Um we we chose two days to make sure that you at least all the board members can attend one of those two. And lastly, more incredibly, there were 680 applications to MBIT for next school year and we are approximately looking at 330, maybe a little bit more if we add an extra teacher for next year. Um but the most uh applications was for cosmetology [snorts] with 99 with electrical 83 health occupations in the mid70s and dental occupations with 42. Um so we already at capacity at MBIT. So it is a stretch to find even space if we put an teacher there. They're gonna have to start building up, adding stories or something. [laughter] >> I don't know that the the land is the issue. >> Our best 60 acres. >> It it's it's also finding that extra money to pay for it. You know, are we willing to do that? >> Thank you, Mr. >> 680 applicants for 330 seats. >> That's fantastic. >> Amazing. >> All right. Any additional communications? Just want to thank Paulo. Yep. Thank you. I wanted to um thank Mrs. Denny and the cafeteria staff for a wonderful lunch last week for the administrators and the board. Thank you. >> Yes. Thank you. >> Additionally, I would just like to mention too, I think Mrs. Depalo should be recognized for reaching out to Yum Yum and getting them to donate donuts um for this tragic giving. >> Yes. Shout out to Yum Yum also. >> Absolutely. >> Yeah. If anyone's ever tried to get donations from Yum Yum, you would know that they almost never give donations. So, I didn't even ask and they donated everything. So, thank greatly appreciated. Thanks. Anybody else? All right. Additional community comments. We have none. Um, Dr. Maguire, schedule of board meeting, calendar events. >> I'm up. All right.
