All departments have worked long hours to make sure the district is ready for the start of the school year. Mr. Nadeau is looking forward to a successful 25/26 school year.

Mr. Nadeau has presented at the Allen Eiry Center two prior times. The board was also thanked by Mr. Nadeau for a great 24/25 school year. There have been many positives to take away from the 24/25 school year. He is looking for the upcoming year. September will be the release of the report card. The district will be able to compare data from surrounding districts.
Mr. Williams asked about the State of the District presentation and review from the board members.

Approve the Memorandum of Understanding
The Superintendent recommends the Board of Education approve the Memorandum of Understanding between the Board of Education and Tiffin Education Association, as exhibited;
______ Mr. Kisabeth
______ Mrs. Stephey
______ Dr. McBride
______ Mr. Perez
______ Mr. Williams
Minutes
Mr. Nadeau said this is a proposed MOU for department chairs at Columbian. Ms. Jones the TEA Union president worked with Mr. Nadeau to obtain this document prior to TEA approval. This process occurred to make sure the ball continued to roll and the district was ready for the start of the school year. If the board approves this item, it will be taken to the TEA union for approval. Once approved by TEA the positions will be posted and hiring will occur. By pivoting to department chairs this allows the district to also be fiscally responsible.
Mrs. Stephey and Mr. Perez were both happy to see the Department Chairs being established again. Mrs. Stephey mentioned this is very beneficial as a teacher. It is difficult on the parents when the student moves teacher to teacher each year and there is no consistency between grades. Mr. Kisabeth said it is a great organizational process that will benefit both students and staff. Mr. Nadeau said this is the direction we want to continue moving forward. The district would like to bring CCP classes back in house and offer more electives to keep the students developing. Academically the district is moving in the right direction and we will continue to make our buildings the best version ever.

______ Dr. McBride
______ Mr. Perez

Minutes
The first motion to discuss was Mrs. Stephey. The second motion was Mr. Kisabeth.
The proposed amount of money would cover the cost of a conventional oven and a hot food service line. There was a conversation about this transfer of funds at the finance meeting. Ms. Spence mentioned that Mr. Devore said he could provide $7,000 of PI monies to help cover the cost. Dr. McBride asked if we receive money based on sale or students. Ms. Spence responded students. Mr. Nadeau mentioned that the monies from PI will help cover the TMS projects, field improvements that fundraising will not cover, and auditorium at Columbian. Mr. Williams asked if the monies that have been received is enough to buy equipment/run the department. Mrs. Stephey asked if the district is mandated to provide free lunch or if it is an option. Ms. Spence said the district is currently in our 2nd year of a 3 year agreement. Dr. McBride clarified that the board is not questioning the items in need but the process behind buying the items. Mrs. Stephey said a process needs to be implemented for equipment requests. Mr. Kisabeth asked if we need to eliminate PI altogether and take the total amount out of the general funds. Mr. Nadeau recommended the district protect the PI funds and use all of general funds for this equipment. Mr. Kisabeth asked if the district needs the oven at the start of the school year. At this time, nobody is able to answer that question. If the $7,000 is removed from PI the general funds total is $51,659.00. Ms. Spence mentioned that the quotes that were previously provided are no longer valid. New quotes will need to be obtained at this time. Ms. Spence also mentioned she does not think the ovens are operational. Mr. Perez asked how long it would take the administration to obtain a new quote. Mr. Nadeau said it will not take long. Ms. Kisabeth said that Mr. Nadeau, Ms. Spence and Mr. DeVore need to collaborate together to determine an update and schedule a special board meeting.
Mr. Perez motioned to table the item and Mr. Kisabeth seconded. The action item was tabled.
