D
I,
don't
want
to
take
I
want
to
be
respectful
of
your
time,
but
I
do
think.
It's
really
important
to
go
through
the.
Why
we're
doing
this
first,
so
I'm
going
to
try
to
go
through
this
fast,
it's
a
pretty
complicated
topic.
So,
if
you
have
any
questions,
please
feel
free
to
ask
me.
At
the
end,
our
objective
was
to
increase
our
Sports
participation.
D
I,
don't
specifically
have
Bethel
Park
numbers,
but
in
2019,
70
of
kids
were
out
of
sports
by
the
age
of
11,
and
that
is
ink
down
from
age
13
in
2016.,
they're,
still
kind
of
sorting
through
the
coven
numbers,
but
we're
not
trending
in
the
right
direction.
So
we
need
to
do
something
to
to
make
that
a
little
bit
better
and
a
lot
of
people
say
well,
it's
just
Sports.
So
why
is
this
so
important?
D
Well,
sports
are
one
of
the
main
opportunities
for
kids
to
learn:
physical
literacy
and
I'm,
a
healthcare
provider
So
Physical
literacy
is
important
to
me.
Physical
literacy
is
correlates
to
learning
physical
literacy
in
childhood,
correlates
to
a
healthy
adult.
It
is
the
ability,
the
desire
and
the
confidence
to
be
able
to
be
physically
active.
D
So
it's
not
just
knowing
how
to
be
physically
active
is
actually
wanting
to
do
it,
and
we
know
that
people
who
score
high
on
physical
literacy
in
childhood,
they
have
they
score
better
on
all
markers
for
health,
physical
health,
mental
health
and
that
low
physical
literacy
is
correlated
with
poor
screen
time
behaviors
and
sedentary
behaviors.
The
other
reason
this
is
important
is
because
we
all
know
that
we
can
learn
a
lot
of
life
lessons
through
Sports.
The
problem
is
I.
D
Think
a
lot
of
people
believe
that
those
are
automatically
learned
and
if
we
don't
intentionally
focus
on
those
life,
lessons
oftentimes,
we
teach
the
wrong
lessons
and
we
can
do
more
harm
than
good.
So
there
needs
to
be
a
focus
from
coaches
to
focus
on
these
lessons.
It
just
doesn't
happen
automatically.
D
D
So
if
at
a
very
and
that's
happening
at
younger
and
younger
ages,
so
if
at
a
really
young
age,
they're
not
ready
to
move
up
to
a
higher
tiered
sport,
there's
nowhere
for
them
to
play
or
a
safe
place
for
them
to
play
and
they
drop
out,
and
then
they
label
themselves
not
an
athlete,
so
they
don't
develop
physical
literacy.
I
think
we
all
understand
that.
D
But
what
a
lot
of
people
don't
know
is
that,
on
the
other
side
of
the
spectrum,
we're
so
focused
on
competitive
sports,
that
the
athletes
that
are
moving
up
the
ranks
are
focused
solely
on
their
sport,
especially
one
sport
and
winning
and
competing.
They
actually
fail
to
develop
physical
literacy
too.
When
the
sport
ends,
they
don't
have
the
tools
they
need
to
be
active
outside
of
our
out
of
sports,
so
it
affects
both
ends
of
the
spectrum.
So
it's
a
pretty
big
problem.
D
The
model
we'd
like
to
shift
to
is
more
of
a
rectangle
where
we're
supporting
physical
Literacy
for
all
kids,
especially
before
the
age
of
12,
and
then
we're
supporting
just
like
differentiated
learning
in
school,
recreational,
competitive
and
Elite
athletes.
We
recognize
there
are
athletes
who
do
need
competitive
Sports
and
at
times
they
may
slide
from
recreational
to
competitive,
to
Elite
for
different
reasons.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
place
for
all
people
all
kids
to
play
and
also
encourage
some
lifetime
Sports
not
to
throw
stats
on
you.
D
So
I'm
not
going
to
read
all
these
two
I.
Just
it's
all
here.
If
you
guys
want
to
see
it,
but
we
know
that
active
youth
do
better
throughout
their
lifespan.
They
are
better
on
all
markers
of
Health,
all
markers
of
physical
and
mental
health.
They
do
better
academically,
they
do
better
in
their
careers,
they
do
better,
socially
well,
I
won't
say
they
do,
but
it's
correlated
with
doing
better,
socially
and
I
wanted
to
speak
there
and
I
thought
this.
D
This
was
just
posted
by
project
play
a
few
days
ago,
and
I
thought
it
was
a
really
interesting
slide.
If
we
nationally
could
increase
our
Sports
participation
by
63.3
percent
by
the
year
2030.,
we
would
have
2.3
million
fewer
children
who
are
overweight
or
obese.
That
has
huge
implications
for
lots
of
things.
Few
huge
implications
for
health
for
our
economy
and
for
just
quality
of
life
for
our
next
Generation.
So
it's
a
pretty
big
deal
to
make
sure
we're
getting
these
kids
moving.
D
So
how
do
we
do
this?
Okay,
we
didn't
know
where
to
start
so
we
found
project
play
and
we
looked
at
Norway
which,
if
you
have
time
to
read
some
of
the
case,
studies
on
Norway,
they're,
really
interesting,
they're,
they've
kind
of
made
changes
and
now
they're
performing
the
best
on
the
international
athletic
stage
and
they
put
out
I.
Think
I've
shared
all
this
stuff
with
you
guys,
probably
a
million
times,
but
they
put
out
tons
of
resources
that
are
really
helpful.
D
D
So
this
is
basically
not
to
go
through
them
all,
just
a
set
of
tenants
that
we
can
use
in
our
decision-making
process
to
making
sure
that
we're
keeping
the
best
intensive
kids
in
mind
when
we're
putting
Sports
programs-
and
so
we
are
here
today
to
focus
on
number
three
children
have
the
right
to
qualified
program
leaders.
Children
have
the
right
to
play,
Under
the
care
of
coaches
and
other
adults
who
pass
background
checks
which
we
already
do
and
are
trained
in
key
competencies.
D
So
the
research
and
surveys
on
this
topic
is
that
parents
want
this.
Parents
really
are
concerned
about
the
behavior
of
their
coach
coaches,
and
this
stat
was
pretty
impressive.
Five
percent
of
kids,
who
play
under
a
trained
coach,
were
likely
to
quit
the
next
season
versus
26
for
an
untrained
coach,
so
it
does
correlate
to
kids
staying
in
sports
longer.
D
We
know
that
trained
coaches
can
help
lower
anxiety
and
increase
self-esteem,
and
this
is
the
big
one
too
I
think
the
biggest
argument
I
hear
against
training
coaches
is
that
it's
hard
to
get
coaches
they're
already
busy
they're
already
doing
enough.
So
the
argument
is
that
if
you
meet
the
coaches,
do
the
training
that
they
won't
they
won't.
They
won't
do
it.
They'll
quit
and
they've
shown
time
and
time
again
that
training
the
coaches
actually
increases
the
retention
and
recruitment
of
coaches,
because
coaching's
hard
and
a
lot
of
coaches
aren't
especially
aren't
even
Educators.
D
They
don't
have
the
tools.
So
when
you
train
them,
you're,
actually
handing
them
tools
for
Success
you're
handing
them
the
tools
to
help
how
to
handle
parents,
how
to
talk
to
kids,
it
makes
it
easier
for
them
in
the
long
run,
so
it
doesn't
scare
them
away
and
surveyed
when
they
did
the
surveys,
lesson
one
in
five
coaches,
and
that
is
even
for
School,
coaches
and
coaches,
who
are
Educators,
felt
that
they
had
proper
training
and
how
to
communicate
and
motivate
kids
and
they
actually
wanted
more
training.
So
across
the
board.
D
F
The
most
important
thing
that
that
kids
and
people
want
from
us
is
that
we
care
about
them
as
a
person
and
to
teach
them.
You
do
not
have
your
self-worth
connected
to
your
skill
level
in
something.
There
are
two
separate
issues:
you're
a
beautiful
human
being
you're
fantastic,
and
that's
it.
That's
all
that
matters.
It
doesn't
matter.
If
you're
ranked
you
know,
number
250
000
in
the
world
are
number
one
that
does
not
matter.
Yes,.
G
J
F
F
D
So
that
is
every
person
you
saw
speaking
on
that
video
is
a
member
of
their
Advisory
board.
So
it's
a
pretty
prestigious
board
and
there's
a
lot
a
lot
of
athletes,
a
lot
of
sports
psychologists,
a
lot
of
coaches
on
there
that
who've
been
in
the
transit
They
Know
What,
It
Takes.
They
know
what
sports
are
about,
so
it's
really
a
well-run
organization,
so
I
just
want
to
go
over
kind
of
the
topics
that
they
cover
in
coach
training.
So
you
can
see
how
it
would
relate
to
to
the
you
know
to
our
coaches.
D
Their
main
philosophy
is
to
have
a
double
goal:
coaching
coaching
philosophy.
You
know
the
goal
one
is
to
strive
to
win:
we're
not
we're
not
trying
to
take
winning
out
of
sports
or
competition
out
of
sports
like
this
is
not
going
back
to
participation,
Trophies
the
goal
of
playing
a
game.
Any
game
is
to
try
to
win
right.
It's
just
that.
We
don't
want
to
win
at
all
costs.
We
don't
want
that
to
be
the
sole
Focus.
D
So
the
second
goal
is
just
as
important,
and
that
is
to
teach
the
life
lesson
through
Sports
and
that's
what
distinguishes
a
positive
coach
from
a
win
at
all
cross
coach,
which
is
what
we're
seeing
most
of
the
time
today.
This
is
clearly
just
unwinning
and
the
research
has
kind
of
shown,
or
the
surveys
have
shown,
the
coaches
that
do
intentionally
focus
on
teaching
the
life.
D
They
do
this
by
focusing
on
a
Mastery
approach.
So,
instead
of
focusing
just
on
the
score
scoreboard
or
the
outcome,
we're
focusing
on
the
process,
we're
focusing
on
the
effort,
because
you
can't
you
could
have
your
most
perfect
game
ever
and
still
lose
a
game.
It's
there's
just
too
much,
that's
outside
of
your
control.
D
So
if
the
whole
focus
is
on
the
win
or
loss,
that
creates
a
lot
of
anxiety
and
it
doesn't
give
and
it
provides
feedback
for
athletes
to
be
able
to
really
learn,
grow
and
get
better,
so
they
want
to
focus
on
things.
Athletes
can
control,
and
they
do
this
with
the
elm
tree
of
Mastery
Elm
effort.
Learning
and
mistakes
are
okay
effort.
So
we
know
there
was
a
study
when
they
studied
kids
who
took
a
test
and
then
they
praised
them
either
on
their
score
or
on
their
effort.
D
Okay
and
the
kids,
who
were
praised
solely
on
their
effort,
performed
better
later
on
the
secondary
test
and
were
able
to
handle
setbacks
together
better
and
that
has
been
proven
across
the
board.
When
we
focus
on
processes
and
effort,
we
are
more
resilient,
which
I
think
is
a
huge
skill
to
learn
as
an
adult
and
we
actually
perform
Better
Learning.
We
want
to
focus
on
wins
and
learning,
not
wins
and
losses
again.
If
an
athlete
walks
away.
They
put
this
out
there.
First
I
hate
to
lose
I,
don't
like
it.
D
D
So
what
can
you
take
away
from
that
loss
if
you
just
focus
because
I'm
being
mad
because
you
lost
you
missed
a
huge
opportunity
to
learn
to
grow,
to
get
better
and
not
to
give
the
whole
quote,
but
I
know
Michael
Jordan,
one
of
his
most
famous
quotes
is
I've
succeeded
because
I've
failed.
Most
athletes
will
tell
you
you
learn
your
most.
D
When
you
fail
you,
you
grow
the
best
in
your
hardest
time,
so
I
think
it's
really
important
to
have
that
to
learn
that
now,
as
kids
for
your
whole
life,
and
then
mistakes
are
okay.
We're
asking
athletes
to
go
out
there.
We're
asking
them
to
take
some
healthy
risks
to
go
outside
their
comfort
zone
to
play
their
hardest.
To
try
new
things
to
problem
solve
strategies
to
win.
They
can't
do
that.
D
You
know
big
because
you're
afraid,
and
so
we
end
up
doing-
is
teaching
kids
to
play
to
not
lose
versus
trying
to
win
and
then,
of
course,
we're
going
to
honor
the
roots
of
the
game.
Okay,
we've
all
seen
the
behavior
issues
in
sports
I
mean
we
want
this
to
improve.
So
the
roots
of
that
elm
tree
is
your
rules,
your
opponents,
your
officials,
your
teammates
and
yourself
and
I'm
not
going
to
go
into
that.
A
lot
I
think
it's
pretty
self-explanatory.
D
We
want
to
want
to
focus
on
teamwork
and
respecting
the
officials
and
respecting
you
know,
rules,
not
cheating,
and
so
all
of
this
is
packaged
in
a
two-hour
Workshop
once
a
year.
So
it's
not
a
huge
time
commitment
for
our
coaches
and
it
is
it's
not
a
lecture.
It's
not
somebody
standing
up
here,
like
I'm
doing
with
you
right
now
talking
to
you,
it
is
I,
went
to
our
first
one,
it's
fantastic!
It's
engaging
you're
up,
you're,
moving
and
coaches
are
walking
away
with
tools
that
they're
going
to
use
the
next
day.
D
D
The
results
I
gave
you
guys
I
think
all
have
the
the
printout
with
the
all.
The
survey
results
from
PCA
again
I
didn't
want
to
put
too
much
out
there,
but
I.
Just
some
of
the
big
ones
is
that
we
improve
the
parent
coach
relationship,
which
we
know
can
be
a
big
problem.
Now:
parents
and
coaches
butting
heads
that
there
was
improved
support
for
social,
emotional
learning
and
skill
development.
D
The
kids
said
it
was
more
more
fun
that
we
had
decreased
coach
and
athlete
turnover,
and
the
feedback
from
the
coaches
was
positive,
that
they
found
it.
The
the
PC
resources
and
tools
were
useful
and
I
forgot
to
mention
too.
After
the
workshop,
all
coaches
will
be
kind
of
have
access
to
all
resources
and
tools
on
the
PCA
website
that
they
follow
up
with
you
know
that
are
updated
throughout
the
year.
D
So
who
can
attend
this
so
right?
Now
we
have
it
it's
open
for
any
coach
here
in
Bethel
Park,
whether
it's
a
youth,
coach
or
all
the
way
up
to
our
High
School
coaches
and
we're
also
hoping
to
get
potential
new
coaches
we'd
like
to
start
with
the
youngest
kids
and
create
a
culture
shift.
The
other
benefit
of
this
is
we're,
hoping
not
only
would
that
be
really
beneficial
to
our
High
School
coaches
and
to
our
high
school
athletes.
D
That
can
help
create
a
better
environment
for
our
kids
whenever
all
the
adults
are
working
together
to
create
a
fluid
program
and
I
think
it
also
help
us
get
and
try
to
get
some
new
coaches
in,
and
maybe
even
people
who,
who
sometimes
have
before
been
afraid
to
coach,
specifically
there's
a
lack
of
women
coaches,
so
training
them
might
make
them
feel
more
comfortable
with
stepping
up
to
the
plate
to
coach.
You
know,
Title
IX
been
around
for
a
really
long
time.
A
lot
of
us
played
Sports.
D
We
could
do
it
and
then
we
can
also
use
this
for
adults
working
with
kids
and
the
other
program.
There's
a
lot
of
aspects.
It's
just
basically
leadership,
training
and
I'd,
even
recommend
that
maybe
some
of
our
students,
especially
some
seniors,
who
might
look
in
to
go
or
would
like
to
come
back
and
coach
or
would
like
to
put
it
on
their
a
coach
training
on
their
college
application.
D
In
the
second
year
we
will
begin
holding
parent
engagement
workshops,
okay,
because
we
can't
just
put
this
all
in
the
coaches,
so
we're
going
to
start
trying
to
work
with
the
parents.
The
goal
here
is
to
is
to
create
a
culture
change
within
Bethel
Park,
and
then
the
future
possibilities
is
to
have
strictly
athlete
workshops
where
we
can
start
teaching
some
of
these
skills
right
to
athletes.
D
So
how
can
you
guys
help
this
only
works
if
we
can
get
the
coaches
in
the
room?
You
know,
and
whenever
you
start
a
program
like
this,
there
always
is
initial
pushback,
but
I
promise
you.
The
coaches
have
walked
out
so
far.
They
liked
it.
It
was
fun,
it
was
engaging
and
it's
a
really
low
commitment.
So,
if
you
guys
would
we
could
use
your
help
to
endorse
us
to
promote
it,
to
support
it
or
even
require
these
coach
workshops
for
your
kids
so
that
we
can
have
better
athletes
and
better
people.
A
Well,
this
was
great
and
thank
you
Kelly
for
making
this
presentation.
I
heard
you
present
this
I
don't
know
five
months
ago
or
so
at
the
park
and
rec
board,
and
you
know
I
thought,
like
your
recommendation,
is
a
great
opportunity
here
too
I
think
everybody
on
the
board
would
agree
that
the
number
of
emails
we
get
from
parents
regarding
Athletics
is
orders
of
magnitude
more
than
academics.
You
know,
Athletics
I
mean
we
get
tons
of
emails.
A
We
get
almost
nothing
over
academics
and
I
think
it
comes
down
to
the
fact
that
there's
a
it's
the
culture
on
the
team,
it's
probably
different
levels
of
expectations
between
the
coach,
the
parents
and
the
and
the
players-
and
this
is
a
good
way
to
kind
of
you-
know
correct.
All
of
that
and
ultimately,
yes
make
the
coaches
more
successful.
Make
them
want
to
continue
coaching
help
every
student
learn
and
continue.
A
E
E
That's
worked
at
the
Pacific
Institute
that
what
I
needed
to
do
for
my
child
was
put
them
in
every
sport
every
season,
because
that
is
how
they
learn
what
they
want
to
do
and
they
get
different
experiences
in
different
life
events
out
of
each
one
of
those
Sports,
so
I
paid
the
money
and
my
children
paid
winner
summer
spring
fall
doing
it
with
my
second
one
too.
To
do
that
because
I
think
Athletics,
whether
you're
good
you're,
not
it
encourages
kids.
My
concern
is
I.
E
D
K
D
D
Mandate
that
so
we're
trying
to
think
incentivize
encourage
you
know,
but
it's
a
work
in
progress
so
but
I,
that's
where
I
think
too,
having
the
High
School
coaches
in
the
room
gives
it
a
little
more
credibility.
You
know
like
getting
you
know:
hey
you're,
going
to
now
have
sit
next
to
the
high
school
basketball
coach.
You
know
if
they're
in
there
and
they're
learning
this
it's
got
to
be.
E
D
E
G
E
Well,
we
create
that
and
it
would
also
create
that
community
of
I'm,
not
gonna
I,
don't
want
to
call
anybody
out,
but
like
we
sent
an
email
and
said
we
can't
be
here,
because
this
sport
is
still
going
on
I'm
glad
you
want
to
do
conditioning,
but
it's
the
middle
of
summer
and
and
then
the
coach
came
back
with
oh
well,
I
see
all
these
people
are
playing
this
now.
Well
that
wasn't
the
message.
The
message
was:
we're
still
a
team
sport
right
and
that
was
from
Wreck,
not
from
no.
E
D
Right
and
I
I
would
say
that
we're
aware
of
all
of
that
in
this
this
was
I.
Don't
know,
I
went
through
all
of
that
and
picked
one
tenet
of
the
children's
Bill
of
Rights.
This
is
just
the
first
step,
there's
a
lot
of
other
things
that
we
need
to
work
on
changing,
but
I
think
this
is
the
first
step
to
start
with,
where
we
can
make
the
biggest
jumping
off
point
from
if
we
it
gives
us
the
access
to
a
lot
of
people.
D
That
way,
you
know
we
get
to
the
coaches
in
a
big
part
of
the
coach
training
is,
is
actually
having
parent
meetings
working
with
your
parents,
so
it's
even
in
the
coach
training
we're
getting
two
parents
that
way
so
I
think
it's
just
the
big
step
at
all
of
those
other
aspects.
You
need
to
be
addressed
as
well
and
we're
slowly
chipping
away.
So.
L
On
so
I
I
would
support
encouraging
every
coach
in
the
district
to
attend
that
until
we
hope
I
also
believe
we
should
require
them
to
at
some
point.
It
sounds
like
it's
also
something
that
would
be
good
for
scout
leaders.
It
would
be
good
for
teachers,
those
concepts
of
giving
correction
without
destroying
motivation
and
self-worth,
like
a
lot
of
those
ideas,
are
things
that
are
helpful
for
students,
Mental,
Health
and
especially
coming
out
of
covid
and
all
of
the
crisis
that
we've
all
been
through.
L
A
So
is
anybody
opposed
to
having
our
athletic
department
work
with
Kelly
and
Chuck,
probably
on
putting
together
kind
of
a
plan?
You
know
implementation
plan
I.
Imagine
some
point
to
be
a
you
know,
contract
or
something
like
that.
We'll
probably
have
to
vote
on
that,
but
at
least
come
up
with
the
implementation
plan
figure
out
what
we
have
to
agree
to
as
a
board
and
I.
D
M
E
D
You
would
do
fall
Sports
in
a
and
then
there'll
be
a
second
one
for
your
winter
sports
I
mean
any
coach
could
come
anytime.
So
if
all
works
better
for
them,
they
can
but
the
way
we're
doing
it
is
we're
doing
one
before
each
Sports
season.
So
that
way,
there'll
be
three
options
for
them
to
choose
from.
There
is
an
online
option,
but
it's
not
very
good.
I
mean
it's
good.
It's
just
not
you're,
not
getting
the
gist
of.
A
D
A
N
We
had
an
initial
meeting
for
the
subcommittee
to
look
at
changing
school
start
times.
It
was
myself
Miss,
janicek
and
Dr
Walsh.
We
had
a
total
of
and
Ms
Feist
joined
us
as
well.
My
apologies
and
we
had
a
total
of
I
believe
it
was
99
applicants.
We
ended
up,
choosing
I
think
it
was
about
20,
including
all
of
our
staff,
and
everything
that's
going
to
be
joining
us.
You'll,
see
that
on
the
agenda
tonight
for
approval
of
the
subcommittee
as
well
as
the
members
of
that
subcommittee.
N
We
had
a
really
nice
kind
of
spattering
of
different
backgrounds,
and
you
know
areas
of
expertise,
so
we
kind
of
tried
to
get
as
representative
of
the
sample
as
we
could
from
the
community
so
that
included
staff,
Administration
parents
and
caregivers
people
who
were
experts
in
kind
of
Psychiatry.
We
had
a
doctor,
I
believe
a
nurse
as
well,
so
we
really-
and
we
also
tried
to
get
a
couple-
people
that
really
had
an
expert
decent
Logistics
in
terms
of
the
implementation
of
everything.
So
that
way
we
kind
of
looked
at
the
whole
picture
of
one.
N
M
H
H
The
second
piece
I
wanted
to
share
is
my
monthly
update
on
our
strategic
plan.
Last
month,
I
departed
from
talking
on
one
of
the
specific
buckets
of
goals
to
talk
more
generally
or
globally
about
the
plan's
progress
at
about
an
18-month
progress
report
tonight,
however,
I'm
going
to
zero
in
on
just
the
student
experience
goal
set,
the
first
of
those
goals
was
to
incorporate
the
principles
of
Universal
Design
for
Learning
into
our
academic
programs
and
you'll.
H
Remember
from
previous
updates
and
strategic
planning
pieces
that
udl's
goal
really
is
to
address
the
teaching
methods
to
remove
barriers
to
Student
Learning,
it's
about
building
and
flexibility,
so
that
lessons
can
be
adjusted
for
every
person's
strengths
and
needs.
That's
why
we
think
udl
benefits
all
Learners
and
improves
their
experience
in
education.
H
Also,
some
key
things
have
happened
this
year.
In
addition
to
a
six
hour
training
course
that
was
completed
late.
At
the
end
of
last
year,
we
held
a
book
study
with
members
of
our
faculty.
There
were
over
40
participants
in
the
book
study,
reading,
Katie
Novak's,
seminal
work
on
Universal
Design
for
Learning,
and
we
were
going
to
repeat
that
next
year
for
what
we
hope
to
be,
as
as
many
or
more
participants
and
I
want
to
thank
Mrs
figlioli
for
leading
that
book
study
with
those
that
participated.
H
It
really
challenges
and
changes
the
teacher's
thinking
to
think
differently
about
their
approach
to
the
classroom
and
to
students,
and
we
recognize,
though,
for
that
kind
of
change
just
to
steep
into
a
teaching
Soul,
it's
going
to
take
a
little
more
time
and
a
lot
more
support
in
training
along
the
way.
So,
while
this
goal
is
is
well
on
its
way
to
fruition,
we
really
see
a
five-year
implementation
time
with
that
particular
piece.
The
second
goal,
where
we've
made
some
progress,
is
to
improve
our
Student
Assistance
teams
and
our
supports
and
services
for
students.
H
Of
course,
we're
all
aware
of
the
team's
room
at
the
high
school.
We've
heard
a
lot
about
that.
We
also
have
heard
about
the
Rhythm
survey
in
third
through
12th
grade
and
we've
increased
our
SEL
curriculum
in
our
through
our
counselors
and
our
social
workers.
We
now
have
Student
Assistance
teams
functioning
in
every
building.
H
Those
teams
are
also
supported
by
Liaisons
from
Aubrey,
and
we
also
had
some
on-site
therapists
as
well
we're
starting
to
stick
our
toe
in
the
restorative
practices,
pool
I
think
we
need
some
more
training,
particularly
for
our
administrators,
in
order
for
that
experience
to
to
take
hold
in
the
school,
particularly
in
the
secondary
Administration
But.
Ultimately,
we
want
as
many
supports
and
checks
in
place
as
possible,
so
that
everyone
feels
like
they
belong
in
our
schools.
H
I
want
to
thank
Dr
Minch
for
supporting
masterfully,
supporting
these
particular
issues
on
our
behalf
and
the
third
goal
for
us
to
drive.
Our
best-in-class
mission
is
the
effort
to
develop
the
whole
person
and,
to
that
end
our
Sports
programs,
our
clubs,
our
activities,
we
find
them
absolutely
essential
to
that
effort
of
developing
the
whole
person.
The
goal
in
the
plan
is
not
so
much
to
increase
the
opportunities
or
to
expand
them.
It's
more
about
making
sure
students
can
find
a
place
for
themselves
somewhere.
There
will
be
a
niche
for
them
in
our
school.
H
It's
those
experiences
that
tend
to
get
them
out
of
bed
in
the
morning
more
than
the
calculus
homework
or
the
biology
test.
While
we're
pleased
and
proud
of
these
progress
and
seeing
changes
in
Bethel
Park,
it's
worth
saying
for
the
umpteenth
time
that
these
goals
ask
some
seismic
shifts
in
our
school
culture.
H
This
takes
time
to
accomplish
and
it
takes
even
more
time
for
it
to
produce
the
long-term
growth
and
the
sense
of
belonging
that
we'll
seek
in
order
to
be
Best
in
Class.
I
want
to
close
by
extending
my
appreciation
for
the
board
support
and
your
commitment
and
patience
with
us
as
we
move,
and
do
this
heavy
lifting
that's
all
I
had
thank.
A
E
E
N
I
guess
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
everyone
who
applied
and
didn't
get
chosen.
There
are
much
more
of
you
that
applied
that
didn't
get
chosen
than
those
that
did
so.
We
had
some
really
great
applications
that,
unfortunately,
we
just
couldn't
choose
for
sake
of
keeping
the
committee
concise
and
having
the
ability,
for
you
know,
everyone
that
shows
up
to
actually
be
able
to
have
their
kind
of
opinions
heard
without
it
getting
too
out
of
hand.
A
M
A
H
So
Mr
Abby
will
be
our
gifted
teacher
at
Neil,
Armstrong
and
Ms.
Middlemas
is
going
to
be
our
sixth
grade,
ELA
teacher
at
Neil
Armstrong,
so
I
to
your
new
colleagues,
but
but
both
are
experienced
teachers
and
are
bringing
a
wealth
of
ideas,
opportunity
and
energy
that
we're
gonna
learn
from
here,
so
we're
lucky
to
have
them.
I
was
noticing
Mr
Abby's
attention
to
the
presentation,
because
he's
also
a
coach
in
a
different
district,
and
so
hopefully
you
that
smile
means
you.
A
H
I
We
have
one
item:
Mutual
cooperation
agreement,
the
board
of
school
directors
approves
the
mutual
cooperation
agreement
between
the
Bethel
Park
School
District
and
the
municipality
of
Bethel
Park.
Regarding
future
use
of
the
elementary
school
buildings
board,
president
is
authorized
to
sign
the
agreement
on
behalf
of
the
district
upon
finalization
and
upon
approval
by
the
municipality.
B
E
And
for
full
disclosure
to
everyone
we're
doing
this,
so
the
municipality
and
Mr
Mario
is
here
tonight:
has
the
opportunity
to
go
receive
grants
because
the
facilities
will
be
used
for
more
Playing,
Fields,
more
soccer
fields,
more
baseball
fields,
more
coaches,
more
students
being
involved
and
green
space
I
believe
did
I
cover
all
that
in
Bethel
Park.
So
it's
a
win
for
the
citizens
of
Bethel
Park.
E
A
And
I
think
the
the
timing.
That's
that's!
Why
we're
looking
at
this
now,
because
we
don't
want
these
buildings
to
sit
vacant
for
three
years.
Well,
then
we
go
out
and
get
the
funding,
so
this
is
kind
of
to
parallel
process.
Some
issues
to
you
know
just
cut
down
on
the
amount
of
time
that
these
buildings
sit.
Banking.
E
E
A
I
think
this
is
the
things
we
should
publicly,
because
it
shows
the
strong
cooperation
we've
had
between
the
municipality
and
the
school
district
and
understanding
each
other's
strategic
initiatives
and
we've
worked
together.
Well,
you
know
the
the
municipality
has
foregone
a
million
dollars
almost
in
permit
fees.
You
know
building
permits,
and
you
know
all
these
other
things,
because
we
recognize
that
all
we're
doing
is
shuffling
money
from
the
same
taxpayers.
You
know
just
a
different,
you
know
government
entities,
so
that
really
doesn't
make
a
lot
of
sense.
A
So
we
work
together,
I
think
very
well,
and
you
know
I
think
this
also
reflects
that.
You
know
the
the
municipality
has
a
very
strong,
very
clear
strategic
plan
in
terms
of
the
you
know,
the
services
that
that
they
want
to
deliver
to
all
taxpayers
and
we
can
help
them
with
this
move.
So
I
think
it's
just
a
it's
a
great
example
of
collaboration
to
make
Bethel
Park
as
a
whole
in
very
desirable
and
improve
it.
E
No
and
I
think
the
best
part
is
the
citizens
of
Bethel.
Park
are
available
to
have
all
these
things,
and
in
doing
this
agreement,
everybody
will
be
able
to
see
over
the
next
couple
of
years
as
we
use
the
building.
What
they're
able
to
transpire
in
the
grants
from
the
federal
government
and
state
entities.
A
Thank
you
so
finance
committee,
Mr
grisbeck.
Can
you
take
those
three
items
and
I
think
we
have
to
take
each
of
those
independently
and
maybe
before
you
take
over
Dr
Walsh?
Could
you
explain
give
us
a
little
bit
of
background
around
this
maximum
project
cost
because
it's
tied
in
with
a
lot
of
things?
Well,
some
things
that
will
happen
in
July.
You
know
additional
meetings.
H
Yes,
for
sure,
so
the
as
the
district
gets
closer
and
closer
to
submitting
a
request
for
bids
on
the
elementary
school
construction
project,
we're
obligated
by
Pennsylvania
code
act
34
to
hold
a
public
hearing
about
the
project
reasons
for
the
project
and
the
plan
for
indebtedness
that
will
be
resulted
from
financing
the
project.
This
act,
34
hearing
has
been
scheduled
for
July
25th
right
here
in
this
space.
H
One
of
the
other
obligations
we
have
to
have
required
to
do
is
to
have
a
advertised
guaranteed
maximum
price
of
the
project,
and
if
the
project
were
to
come
in
under
that
price,
then
you
can
proceed
with
the
borrowing
and
construction.
If
the
project
comes
in
over
that
price,
you
have
to
then
go
through
up
another
round
of
hearings
and
cost
saving
measures
and
so
forth.
H
So
the
the
motion
tonight
is
is
the
put
out
as
the
worst
case
scenario
as
the
max
a
maximum
project
cost,
what
it
absolutely
positively
could
post
him
if
it
was
like
built
with
gold
nuggets.
I
guess
is
kind
of
the
idea,
and
that
includes
all
the
soft
costs
which
would
be
fees
to
our
Architects
and
to
our
construction
management
firm.
It
would
include
furniture
that
would
be
needed
for
these
spaces
and
other
educational
supplies
and
materials
that
would
go
into
the
building.
H
It
would
include
the
bond
issuance
costs
and
financing
rates,
those
sorts
of
things.
So
it's
a
it's
a
big
number,
but
it's
also
unrealistic.
It's
not
what
we
would
expect
anywhere
to
where
we
expect
it
to
be.
It
was
put
in
intentionally
high,
so
we
wouldn't
have
to
have
a
second
hearing
delaying
construction
which
delays
the
opening
of
the
building
and
all
the
other
things
that
come
with
that.
So
that's
item
three:
is
the
maximum
project
cost
and
there's
a
resolution
to
go
with?
That
is
I.
Guess
that's
number
two.
A
H
N
These
three
items-
yes,
sir,
like
you
said
we'll
be
taking
each
one
individually
item
number
one
I
move
to
approve
the
2023-2024
general
fund
budget
resolution.
Second,
Mr
McCausland:
have
there
been
any
changes
since
last
week?
No,
could
you
just
provide
a
very
brief
overview
of
you
know
what
we're
looking
at
I
know
for
anyone
who,
just
you
know,
wasn't
here
last
week
or
didn't,
have
the
chance
to
watch
the
meeting
just
in
terms
of
millage.
C
Right
now,
the
general
fund
budget
sits
at
a
slightly
over
101
million
dollars
in
revenue
and
a
expenditure
line
item
of
108
million
dollars,
creating
about
a
seven
million
dollar
deficit,
which
was
much
different
than
what
we
presented
in
May
but
as
I
discussed
last
week.
Those
are
really
the
result
of
two
things
one.
C
So
that's
kind
of
like
more
of
a
clerical
move
of
money
to
to
another
purpose,
and
then,
when
the
bond
issue
is
generated
in
the
fall,
that
money
will
get
replaced
to
the
capital
reserve
fund,
the
other
two
million
dollar
number
is
really
the
result
of
the
tax
assessment
change
for
the
South
Hills
Village
Mall.
It
comes
in
two
places
in
your
in
your
budget.
C
One
is
a
increase
in
expenditures
for
tax
refunds
from
prior
years
and
then
also
a
decrease
in
real
estate
tax
revenue
of
about
six
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
because
of
a
lower
tax
assessment
will
receive
less
Revenue.
So
that's
really
what
netted?
Those
out
your
millage
rate
has
not
changed
since
it
was
presented
in
May.
It
stands
at
24.5526
Mills,
which
still
keeps
you
in
the
median
range
for
the
county
and
all
the
other
taxes
stay
the
same
as
they
have
in
Prior
years
and.
N
C
N
L
N
H
Dr
Walsh
yeah
I'd,
like
to
I,
asked
that
we
put
this
item
on
for
discussion
with
the
board
to
get
your
opinions
on
making
this
change
several
years
ago.
With
the
interim
superintendent,
the
policy
was
changed
to
direct
the
school
and
administrators
on
admitting
students
who
move
in
from
out
of
state
who
are
on
different
school
age
than
would
align
with
our
policies
and
in
the
process
of
doing
that.
H
E
C
H
So
yeah
my
read
on
the
way
the
policy
states
is
that
you're
coming
from
a
public
school
and
it
doesn't
specify
a
Pennsylvania
public
schools.
If
you're
being
admitted
from
a
public
school,
we
would
honor
the
placement
that
you
were
granted
from
that
previous
or
you're
sending
School.
We
would
also
probably
have
to
develop
some
administrative
regulations
or
an
AR
to
go
with
this
policy
if
it's
adopted
and
that
we
could
be
more
specific
about
that.
H
H
L
L
L
A
B
O
P
O
On
behalf
of
the
residents,
the
recreation
department
I
want
to
thank
you
for
the
vote
tonight.
I
think
as
we
embarked
on
this
journey
with
you
and
you're
started
a
few
years
before
ours,
our
involvement.
You
did
a
lot
of
work
to
find
out
to
come
to
a
conclusion.
We
had
the
opportunity
to
evaluate
from
a
recreational
standpoint
what
it
meant
by
closing
these
facilities
to
our
programs.
We
identified
early
this
year
that
these
two
schools,
these
two
properties,
would
benefit
the
community
as
a
whole.
O
We
appreciate
your
willingness
to
work
together
of
sharing
ideas,
the
the
permit
process
and
don't
forget.
We
also
because
it
is
a
public
use
in
our
Recreation
benefits-
is
the
bathrooms
that
are
coming
this
summer
and
hopefully
we'll
get
get
the
permits
in
the
near
future.
But
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
the
vote
tonight
and
look
forward
to
continuing
on
the
journey
as
we
develop
a
strategy
and
a
plan
for
what
we
want
to
do
moving
forward.
We
appreciate
your
help
working
with
the
solicitor
and
getting
the
agreement
pretty
quickly.
Thank.
