Hi
I'm
Pat
Mertens,
Boyle,
6310
Centennial
station
in
Warminster
and
I'm.
Also
the
secretary
of
the
William
tenant
Alumni
Association.
Our
golf
outing
is
coming
up
on
June
2nd.
We
can
only
take
150
golfers
and
we
usually
sell
out
by
mid-march.
So
everybody
keep
a
lookout
for
it.
It's
a
great
time
we're
able
to
give
scholarships
to
graduating
seniors
every
year.
We're
very
proud
of
the
fact
that
we
can
do
that.
The
golf
outing
is
a
blast
we're
over
at
five
ponds.
It's
reasonably
priced!
It's
a
great
dinner.
It's
a
great
time.
G
Also
we're
still
running
the
bench
program.
We
can
probably
sell
another
15
benches.
350
dollars
you
can
dedicate
to
dedicate
I
can
say
that
right
dedicate
a
bench
either
to
a
team
or
your
family
that
went
to
tenant
or
whatever
we
have
several
dedicated
ones
over
there
in
the
courtyard
to
the
right.
The
other
ones
will
go
into
the
courtyard
to
the
left,
but
we
have
many
exciting
things
going
on
check
us
out
on
the
web
at
wthalumni.com.
D
H
Good
evening
my
name
is
Victor
Vala
I
own,
a
business
right
around
the
corner
from
here
on
the
two
units
on
the
condominium
building
right
behind
the
post
office
Martin's
first
office
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
it
was
a
ungodly
mistake
that
my
wife
made
there
with
our
taxes
to
pay
the
property
taxes
this
year
on
this
property
for
22
years.
We
never
had
a
problem,
and
this
year
she
you
know
we
do
payments
online
and
she
made
this
payment
through.
H
Another
person
like
online
and
I
I
didn't
know
about
it
until
I
got
the
check
back
like
a
few
months
later
and
I
I
was
away
also,
and
then
I
realized
that
the
payment
was
late.
Now
so
I
came
here
once
I
found
out
right
away
to
square
that
away
and
I
had
to
pay
like
750
dollars
more
in
penalties.
Because
of
the
the
mistake
that
we
did
and
I
apologize
for,
that
I
was
hoping
that
I
did
talk
to
Mr
Greenwood
about
it.
He
said.
H
Maybe
one
way
to
resolve
that
is,
come
to
a
world
meeting
and
which
you
know
I'm
here
for
that
to
see
if
I
could
avoid
pay,
I
did
pay
the
penalty
and
the
taxes
already,
but
it
was
I
had
to
pay
750
some
dollars
more
because
of
the
the
issue
and
I
do
have
like
proof
that
that
the
payment
got
into
the
wrong
hands
on
time
and
I
found
out
and
I
wanted
to
come
here
on
a
meeting
like
back
in
November,
and
they
told
me
the
next
meeting
would
be
in
December,
which
I
was
away
in
Florida
for
the
sometime
and
then
came
here
in
January,
and
they
did
not
do
the
right
thing,
filling
up
the
Green
Court
so
I'm
here
today
pledging
that
someone
could
understand
my
scenario
and
the
so
I
could
avoid
pay
the
penalty.
D
H
H
E
H
It
was
like
pay
online,
so
bank
send
the
check
it's
just
that
it
went
to
Ivy
Woods,
which
was
the
Condominium
Association.
Okay,
my
wife
wrote
it
by
mistake
to
the
Condominiums
Association.
He
started
to
Barber
lefts.
H
E
H
H
D
H
She
she
picked
up
the
wrong.
She
is
meaning
who
my
wife
online.
We
have
like,
let's
say,
20
payments
that
we
have
different
payments
people
this
and
that
so
she
made
this
payment
to
Condominium
Association,
which
is
the
Property
association,
is
started
through
the
taxes
in
the
warmestcent
taxes.
H
H
When
I
received
the
notification,
I
I
act
right
away,
came
here,
and
even
this
love
to
serve
I
was
surprised
that
you
didn't
pay.
I
said
that
I
said
that
I
did
and
then
I
brought
the
stuff,
but
she
couldn't
do
anything
about
it.
They
told
me
the
only
way-
hopefully
it's
through
words
made
in
here.
That's
why
I
came
here.
Thank.
J
Just
to
be
clear,
there
is
no
notification
until
you're
late.
We
don't
send
reminders,
we
don't
send
follow-ups
after
the
bills
go
out,
so
there
would
not
have
been
until
until
you're
late
is
when
those
notices
go
out.
D
So
we're
at
the
position
right
now
as
I
personally,
think
that
we
should
talk
to
Mrs
Loftus,
since
our
name
has
been
brought
up
and
make
a
decision
after
we
have
that
conversation.
D
H
D
D
C
D
I
hope
you
have
a
lawyer
recommended
Mr
Martin
for
those
actions.
You're
talking
about
the
next
item
in
the
agenda
is
item
two
Ms
Crossing,
please,
okay,.
I
Item
two
approval:
the
agenda,
be
it
resolved
at
the
Centennial
School
District
Board
of
school
directors.
2.1
approves
the
January
24th
Committee
of
the
whole
agenda.
As
for
the
attached,
are
there
any
corrections
that
need
to
be
made
that
are
allowed
by
the
PA
Law?
Second,
all
in
favor
any
Nays.
Any
abstentions.
I
E
Can
we
vote
on
the
Personnel
item,
suspension
separately,
item
3.1.
D
I
Would
anybody
be
okay
if
I
just
do
all
three
separate?
Would
that
be
all
right?
Okay,
all
right,
be
it
resolved
at
the
Centennial
School
District
Board
of
school
directors.
3.1
approves
a
Personal
Agenda,
including
termination
resignations
authorizations
to
employ
leave
of
absence,
suspension,
change
of
status
and
homebound
tutor
as
per
the
attached.
E
I
I
was
going
to
make
a
motion
to
vote
on
this
and
then
we'll
vote
on
the
suspension
separately.
Is
that
okay?
Would
that
work?
Okay?
So
we're
going
to
take
a
vote
on
this?
It's
going
to
be
everything
except
for
the
suspension.
I
Abstentions,
so
all
that
passes
nine,
nothing
with
now
we're
going
to
do
on
suspensions.
Should
we
do
a
roll
call
on
that
one
that'd
be
a
little
easier.
Okay.
Can
we
do
a
roll
call
in
the
suspension
part.
C
A
H
M
L
B
J
L
I
C
You
Madam
president,
the
finance
committee
did
meet
Friday
ago.
A
week
ago
we
had
an
interesting,
detailed
presentation
about
the
preliminary
budget.
There
are
some
important
dates
coming
up,
one
of
which
is
tonight
when
there's
a
recommendation
regarding
the
opt-out
resolution,
and
hopefully
the
board
can
consider
passing
that
we
have
some
issues
coming
up
in
the
budget.
Preliminary
budget,
as
always,
shows
a
little
deficit
that
we
have
to
overcome,
but
maybe
Mr
Greenwood
can
give
us
a
brief
update
about
the.
J
You
foreign,
okay,
thank
you
very
much
good
evening.
Everyone.
We
do
have
a
brief
presentation
relative
to
the
preliminary
budget.
J
As
we
start,
every
presentation
with
our
mission
vision
and
our
belief
statements,
I,
think
those
are
always
important
aspects
to
keep
in
mind
as
we
as
we
move
forward
of
our
building
blocks
for
high
performing
schools.
We're
focused
tonight
on
number
four,
which
is
high
levels
of
collaboration
and
communication,
our
norms
and
expectations
and
our
Centennial
Spotlight.
Again,
we
talked
about
this
at
our
budget
Workshop
in
December.
The
homestead
Farmstead
exclusion
is
due
to
the
assessment
office
by
March
1st.
J
The
timeline
we
are
at
today,
the
26th
and
as
Mr
Martin
shared
we'll
be
looking
to
get
approval
of
the
opt
out
resolution
that
will
lead
us
into.
We
will
file
that
with
pde
by
the
31st
of
the
month.
We
have
a
next
budget
Workshop
session
on
February
7th.
The
deadline
to
complete
the
budget
process
is
June
30th.
J
Foreign
look
at
the
revenue
assumptions
that
went
into
the
plan
that
went
into
the
plan
following
our
budget.
Workshop
I
tried
to
then
highlight
some
of
those
terms
and
and
funding
sources
that
we
discussed
in
December
and
in
in
January's
review
as
well
assessed
valuations,
as
of
November
are
564
million
three
hundred
and
three
thousand
one
hundred
and
ten
dollars.
J
The
Act
One
increase
for
the
upcoming
year
is
set
at
4.1
percent
by
pde
our
act,
511
local
taxes
are
utilized
in
the
preliminary
budget,
a
five-year
average
for
all
of
them,
except
the
EIT
I,
have
reached
out
to
Keystone
our
collection
organization
relative
to
our
EIT,
asked
them
to
do
some
analysis
and
some
review
they've
come
back
with
a
number
between
you
know.
Six,
five,
six,
eight
and
seven
million
I
have
6.8
in
the
plan
today.
J
State
funding
included
in
the
preliminary
budget
is
in
line
with
our
2223
funding
levels,
which
is
a
bump,
as
we
know
from
the
states
most
recent
budget
that
they
passed
in
July
we're
carrying
those
forward
pension
security,
reimbursement
based
on
qualifying
salaries,
property
tax
reduction
I,
have
it
2.5
million.
That
is
a
reduction
in
local
taxes
and
that's
picked
up
by
the
state
as
we
discussed
previously.
J
Those
are
proceeds
from
gambling,
so
2.5
was
a
high
number
last
year,
but
the
gaming
continues
so
I'd
I'm
going
to
plug
it
in
to
wash
more
or
less
between
the
two
between
local
and
state
as
it
is,
and
all
other
funding
line
items
really
within
expectations
within
our
FY
23
plan.
J
Okay,
it
is
important
in
it
was
discussed
at
our
finance
committee.
Meeting
that
there
is
there
was.
There
is
a
lawsuit
at
Harrisburg,
now
waiting
to
be
decided
upon
relative
to
public
education
funding
and
that
certainly
could
impact
our
future
subsidies
as
we
move
forward.
So
that
hasn't
been
resolved
and
we
will
wait
we'll
wait
to
hear.
Finally,
the
title
funding.
We
have
893
000
in
title
funding.
We
have
one
million
751
thousand
dollars
in
Esser
funding
that
it
will
be
the
last
year
for
RS
or
funding.
J
J
This
chart
shows
just
the
sources
and
the
breakdown
historically,
as
well
as
in
the
current
year.
J
And
a
view
of
our
EIT
Revenue,
so
this
chart
shows
EIT
Revenue
over
the
course
of
the
past
five
years.
You
can
see
there's
a
the
trending
for
the
current
year.
We're
in
has
the
dot
in
December
is
where
we're
at
mirroring
very
closely.
Our
last
year
returns.
J
On
the
labor
side,
the
Centennial
Education
Association
cea
has
a
step
a
full
step
increase
at
the
start
of
the
23-24
school
year,
part
of
the
CBA
that
was
revised
in
2020,
plus
a
0.75
increment,
the
recovery
of
their.
They
also
have
the
recovery
of
their
0.2
percent
increment
reduction
in
FY
21,
so
that
will
be
added
to
that
as
well.
For
the
start
of
the
school
year,
the
budget
has
75
000
in
column,
movement
that
says
people
attain
educational
credits,
they
move
change,
columns.
J
J
Growth
and
enrollment
we've
been
talking
a
lot
about
enrollment
over
the
course
of
time,
and
we
we're
showing
a
jump.
You
know
sort
of
continued
growth,
not
not
sit,
not
significant,
but
continued
growth
into
our
current
planning
year.
The
December
enrollment,
as
we
previously
noted,
is
5324
students
and
a
realization
of
our
students
needs
whether
that
is
in
ELD
or
within
special
education
things
to
keep
in
mind
as
we
move
forward.
J
The
labor
rate
for
for
the
other
groups,
the
admin
and
support
staff-
the
budget
includes
today
an
increase
of
3.7
percent,
which
is
long
in
line
with
the
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics,
as
we
had
shared
at
the
as
we
reviewed
the
support
staff
agreement
last
year.
So
that
is
the
number
3.7
percent
is
what
is
included.
I
have
a
health
care
insurance
increase
of
10
percent
across
all
of
ours.
J
Last
year
we
had
very
little
health
insurance
increase,
but
we
did
have
a
little
bit
of
a
jump
on
the
prescription.
So
right
now,
I
have
a
total
at
10
across
the
board
and
retirement
for
the
first
time
in
since
2008,
there's,
actually
a
reduction
in
our
piezer's
contribution,
so
we're
paying
35
points
to
five
percent
or
three
five
percent.
Today,
we'll
be
paying
thirty
four
percent
next
year
that
will
likely
move
up,
but
nor
will
start
trending
higher
again,
but
it
was
a
little
bit
of
a
reprieve.
J
This
chart
shows
again
that
the
typical
breakup
71
of
our
expenses
are
made
up
in
salaries
and
benefits.
Debt
Service
represent
eight
represents
eight
percent
of
our
of
our
expenses,
both
principal
and
interest
purchase
surfaces
which
include
the
IU
charges
out
of
District
placements.
The
middle
bucks
Institute
of
Technology
Charter
School,
tuitions,
general
insurance
coverages
group,
represents
about
16
percent
of
our
expenses
and
then
property
expenses
and
supplies
round
out
the
rest
of
that
group.
J
I
was
at
middlebox
Institute
of
Technologies
I
shared
in
our
weekly
update.
They
are
currently
at
4.1
percent.
Their
budget
is
holding
there
and
we
are
awaiting
an
update
on
their
Capital
plan
because
it
appears
that
they
may
need
additional
funding
to
support
their
Capital
initiatives
that
they
started
two
years
ago.
J
I
think
you
know,
as
as
we
was
in
a
meeting
this
afternoon
and
I,
think
it's
important
as
we
go
through
this
process,
and
we
evaluate
the
expenses
that
we
realize
that
the
Esser
funding
is
is
coming
to
a
close,
and
we
need
to
keep
in
mind
that
our
students
are
still
recovering
from
from
covid
that
you
know.
That
is
an
important
thing
to
to
remember.
I
think
this
need
for
supporting
mental
health
within
our
students
as
well.
J
As
you
know,
sort
of
business
or
school
security,
and
the
network
security
is
items
that
we
have
talked
about
over
the
past
several
months.
J
This
chart
again
just
shows
those
object
groups.
You
can
see
at
the
bottom
the
salaries
benefits
and
purchase
Services,
which
are
shown
by
the
blue,
green
and
purple
lines,
the
ones
that
really
Trend
all
of
the
other
other
expense
groups,
remain
relatively
flat
year
over
year,
and
that
is
consistent
with
the
past
models
as
well.
J
J
Chart
again
shows
the
assessment
value
based
on
the
November
1st
report
and
our
history
compared
to
the
Act
One.
J
So
the
budget
summary
and
and
in
summary,
the
budget
currently
shows
136
million
540
000
in
Revenue,
one
hundred
and
forty
thousand
dollars,
112
140
million
112
000
in
expenses,
the
deficit
of
three
million
five
hundred
and
seventy
two
thousand
dollars.
If
I
add
the
full
Act
One
increase
to
that,
that
would
be
3.4
million.
We
have
a
deficit
of
128
000
at
this
point
in
time,.
J
This
chart
shows
the
long-range
plan,
our
current
2023
budget,
compared
to
24
through
28
that
Five-Year
Plan,
you
see
the
128
000
deficit
in
24
and
then
sort
of
an
increasingly
larger
deficit
as
we
move
through
to
2028.
That's
particularly
called
out
by
the
the
reduction
in
Esser
funding.
So
you
can
see
that
federal
revenue
goes
from
three
million
dollars
to
a
million
267.,
so
that
drop
in
in
support
is
is
driving
that
deficit
in
the
outer
years.
J
Shows
a
a
deficit
condition
starting
this
year
and
running
through
the
planning
window
gives
our
past.
Historically,
our
historic
periods
19
through
22,
shows
a
favorable
Surplus,
as
we've
reported
to
the
board
and
based
on
the
assumptions
that
are
in
there,
revenue
is
growing
3.2
percent.
All
expenses
are
about
3.9
percent.
J
And
this
slide
just
shows
our
follow-up,
we'll
be
continuing
to
evaluate
our
staffing,
our
planning
around
those.
If
meetings
will
be
scheduled
with
our
departments
and
schools
to
review
costs,
as
well
as
with
some
of
the
functional
groups
within
special
education,
certainly
for
sure
we'll
continue
to
work
and
wait
to
hear
back
from
the
bucks
bucks,
Intermediate,
Unit,
Bucks,
County,
Intermediate
Unit
relative
to
their
budget
and
getting
a
continued
Insight
from
middelbox
as
to
where
they
are
they
are
going
to
end
up.
J
We
have
Capital
planning
is
another
area
that
the
operations
committee
discussed
so
that'll
be
another
area
of
discussion
relative
to
our
budget.
The
note
relative
to
inflation,
you
know
currently
we're
at
6.5
percent,
was
the
last
CPI
change
the
December
22
2022
number
and
in
the
Philadelphia
metropolitan
area.
You
know,
specifically,
that
number
is
6.4
year
over
year,
increase.
J
D
D
J
Absolutely
absolutely
so,
we'll
quickly
show
you're
correct
right,
so
at
4.1
percent
it
is
a
it
is
the
highest
Act
One
index
over
that
period
of
time.
So
that
is
correct,
and
if
we
look
at
at
what
drives
that
act,
one
Index
right.
It
is
an
inflationary
measure,
so
the
Act
1
index
looks
at
salaries
and
and
education,
Personnel
expenses
salaries
and
benefits
both
within
the
Commonwealth
as
well
as
across
the
country.
Those
are
weighted
to
determine
that
increase.
J
So,
as
we
understand
in
in
Reading
in
the
news
you
know,
labor
rates
are
increasing
and
that
is
in
fact
driving
that
higher
Act
One,
the
CPI
increase
at
six
and
a
half
percent
is
at
a
you
know
ten
year
high
when
it
was
at
eight
eight
percent.
Earlier
this
summer
those
inflationary
costs
are
real
and
the
act
one
index
tries
to
provide
a
a
consistent
number
to
be
used
by
all
public
schools
in
the
Commonwealth
relative
to
inflation.
J
I
So
it's
possible,
though,
like
for
the
three
years
we
have
your
chart
yep,
so
it
is
possible
to
actually
get
a
budget.
I
mean
I,
know
it's
going
to
be
tight
and
I
know.
You're
gonna,
you're
gonna
have
a
lot
of
work,
but
I
know
it's
possible.
We
can
do
it
and
keep
it
under
the
act.
One
is:
is
that
reasonable?
Yes,.
J
It's
it's
possible,
it's
possible!
It's!
You
know
we
we've
we've
we've
as
Mr
Martin
has
shared
in
his
opening.
You
know
we
we
are
working
on
that
for
sure,
right
and
and
the
board,
through
its
work
over
the
past
three
years,
has
in
fact
delivered
a
budget
under
that
inflationary
number.

B
L
Yes,
ma'am.
Thank
you,
I'd,
just
like
just
to
consider,
even
though
this
is
just
a
job
description
at
some
point,
that
means
probably
hiring
somebody
in
an
administrative
capacity
when
we're
looking
at
this
upcoming
budget,
a
budget
deficit,
even
if
we
go
with
the
full
4.1
percent
increase
I,
just
have
a
hard
time
adding
more
to
the
budget
in
terms
of
and
other
administrative
position.
I
know
that
it's
been
made.
L
The
point's
been
made
that
this
has
been
already
in
the
budget,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
if
you
don't
spend
the
money,
you
don't
spend
the
money
and
it
can
be
put
back
into
the
budget
or
put
somewhere
else
more
useful,
maybe
hiring
a
teacher
or
something
that's
more
direct
impact
to
the
students,
but
I
just
can't
see
adding
salary
and
benefits.
Two
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
water
are
already
budget.
We're
gonna
have
a
hard
time
making.
B
M
C
Just
a
question
and
a
comment:
the
fact
that
it's
there's
money
provided
in
this
year's
budget
to
fill
this
position.
This
position
then
continues.
So
it
becomes
an
expense
in
future
budgets.
Secondly,
if
we
approve
the
job
description,
what
happens
until
the
budget
is
it?
Does
that?
Does
anybody
do
anything?
Do
we
try
to
hire
somebody,
or
do
we
wait
until
the
budget
is
adopted
and
I
just
have
one
minor
comment
if
I
might
for
information
of
Interest?
This
comes
from
a
university
president.
C
The
number
of
District
administrators
and
school
districts
grew
by
a
whopping
87.6
percent,
far
outstripping
the
growth
in
a
number
of
students,
7.6
percent
and
the
number
of
teachers,
8.7
percent,
so
I
believe
that
this
position
may
be
well
needed.
However,
what
I
would
propose
that
the
board
consider
going
forward
is
for
every
new
position
that
is
deemed
needed,
one
of
the
800
and
some
odd
that
we
have
to
be
the
least
of
those.
C
So
for
everyone
we
add,
we
delete
one
and
you
can
add
I'll
vote
for
whoever
you
think
is
important
that
we
hire,
but
we
should
evaluate
all
and
perhaps
like
buying
a
new
suit.
You
buy
the
new
and
you
throw
the
old
one
away.
You
you
hire
what
you
need
but
evaluate
everything
and
perhaps
very
well.
We
hire
I'll
vote
for,
if
you
say
it's
needed,
I'll
go
for
it.
Tell
me
what
one
we're
going
to
eliminate
I
have
to
be
happy
and
satisfied.
Thank
you
very
much.
Madam
president.
Thank.
I
You
Mr
Martin,
so
what
I
was
questioning
is
and
I,
and
this
is
just
a
job
description
like
Mr
godickson
had
had
noted
it's
just
the
job
description,
but
different
standards
have
been
placed
on
different
things
that
we
might
not
be
aware
of
so
I,
don't
know
if
somebody
wants
to
speak
on
that
certain
changes
have
been
made.
Requirements
change
like
I
know,
with
special
education.
There's
a
lot
more
demands.
There's
a
lot
more
demands
on.
I
What's
being
asked
of
people
through
the
state,
so
I
mean
I,
looked
at
the
chart
that
we
were
given
and
in
the
surrounding
districts
with
more
students,
they
have
more
staff
that
are
allotted
to
what
they're
asking
for,
and
previously
we
used
to
have
more
staff
allotted
to
what
they
were
asking
so
they've
been
trying
to
make
it
work,
and
that's
why
they
said
it
was
a
need.
If
somebody
could
speak
on
that.
N
I
can
I
can
speak
on
that
so
I
think
to
Mr
Martin's.
First
point:
we're
not
looking
to
put
this
in
this
year's,
but
it's
not
in
this
year's
budget
currently,
so
it
would
be
a
reallocation
of
funds
within
the
office
of
teaching
and
learning
budget
for
next
year.
N
So
there
would
be
no
action
this
year
at
all
other
than
if
and
when,
as
the
budget
process
plays
out,
if
the
money's
there,
we
would
want
to
use
the
money
within
our
budget
reallocating
it
from
other
expenses
to
be
able
to
put
it
towards
this
position
for
for
next
year.
But
again
this
all.
As
Mr
goodwickson
pointed
out.
N
This
is
only
the
job
description
just
starting
to
take
the
steps
to
if,
depending
on
which
way,
the
budget
goes
to
have
that
that
lane
cleared
so
to
speak,
to
move
forward,
I
think
to
Mrs
crosson's
point.
When
you
look
at
our
peer
districts
in
the
area,
there
are
at
least
two
of
our
peer
districts
that
are
much
smaller
than
us
that
have
twice
the
amount
of
people
in
the
particular
office
of
teaching
and
learning.
N
N
So
we
are,
we
are
running
a
very
thin
ship
on
on
the
side
of
teaching
learning,
which
is
an
absolute
direct
impact
on
students
and
to
be
able
to
sustain
the
level
of
not
only
stabilizing
the
district
from
the
past
that
we've
shared
with
you
over
the
years,
but
also
build
a
foundation
and
build
moving
forward.
Having
a
position
added
back
at
the
coordinator
level
would
be
greatly
beneficial
again,
not
doing
anything
with
it.
N
Currently,
the
idea
is
to
get
the
JD
approved
and
then-
and
this
was
money
that
looking
at
next
year's
budget,
if
we
stay
relatively
the
same
in
the
office
of
teaching
and
learning
we'd,
be
able
to
pay
for
the
position.
Out
of
that,
you
know,
and
just
to
put
in
contact
since
I've
been
here
for
the
past
four
years.
N
We
have
worked
with
pretty
much
the
same
budget
even
year
to
year
in
our
office
and
with
inflationary
costs
going
up,
we've
been
able
to
maintain
clean
up,
stop
spending
on
both
Technologies
and
resources
that
were
duplicates
and
have
really
done.
The
team
has
done
a
really
nice
job
being
a
lot
smarter
and
a
lot
more
frugal
and
targeted
with
what
we
have
and
have
not
purchased
over
the
past
four
years.
F
Mr
Gabriel
I
to
Mr
Martin
I,
would
say,
he's
actually
doing
what
you
just
suggested.
He
actually
took
money
to
reallocate,
which
is
the
same
effect
of
what
you're
suggesting
he's
not
asking
for
new
money
so
on.
In
essence,
what
you
just
suggested,
that's
what
he
is
is
doing
rather
than
piling
on
one
thing:
that's
we've
shared
with
you
all
that
I
think
continues
to
go
unnoticed
too,
that
when
we
look
at
students
also,
we
have
to
look
at
the
type
of
student.
F
Some
districts
have
to
do
more
because
of
the
type
of
student
we're
almost
50
percent
free
and
reduce
lunch.
Now
we're
20
special
ed
we've
gone
from
eight
percent
ell
to
12
ELD
to
12.
Now
so
you
have
high
needs
student,
which
actually
requires
more
supports
and
more
resources.
We've
gone
from
34
languages
to
38..
F
So
it's
not
apples,
apples
and
I
will
welcome
a
conversation
with
whoever
you
wrote
that
I
argue
with,
because
what
I
find
to
is
a
lot
of
our
higher
ed
people.
Don't
have
practical
experience.
All
they
have
is
research,
knowledge
that
doesn't
see
how
it
plays
out
and
that's
one
of
the
challenges
so
I
hope
you'll.
Send
that
article
to
me,
because
I
punch
holes
into
his
research
I
welcome
it.
A
C
C
There
are
two
things
for
approval
tonight:
there's
also
some
items
for
informational.
Only
so
6.1
are
the
two
information
items:
6.1
a
is
the
2023
Federal
mileage
reimbursement
rate,
which
is
going
up
to
65
and
a
half
cents
per
mile,
so
that's
almost
makes
it
worth
driving
your
car
and
6.1
B,
the
Pennsylvania
School
District,
liquid
asset
funds,
monthly
report,
therefore
information.
Only.
There
is
one
item
for
approval.
C
We
can
have
discussion
if
anyone
wishes,
obviously
6.2
a
which
is
to
approve
the
Act
1
accelerate
2023-24
budget
opt-out
resolution,
which
Mr
Greenwood
discussed
certifying
the
tax
rate
within
inflation
index
of
4.1,
which,
in
simple
terms,
means
that
the
worst
case
scenario
we
could
possibly
have
would
be
a
4.1
tax
increase
and
we'll
do
our
level
best
as
a
parenthetical
to
try
to
reduce
that
as
low
as
possible.
But
the
approval
is
requested
so
that
we
can
report
to
the
state
that
we're
going
to
comply
is.
I
C
That's
right:
this
is
something
we
have
to
comply.
If
we
don't
comply
with
this,
then
it's
open-ended
so
I,
that's
a
good
explanation,
but
it's
the
worst
case
scenario
we're
going
to
work
at
it
from
there
on
down.
So
any
other
comments,
if
not
all
in
favor,
all.
B
K
K
Our
beautiful
Middle
School
auditorium
Renovations,
cafeteria
service
line
improvements,
asbestos,
tile
removal,
safety,
fencing
office
Renovations
for
the
good
Folks
at
the
transportation
center
and
more
so
it's
important
to
remember
that
as
we
enter
budget
time
again,
some
of
that
goes
towards
some
very
important
repairs
and
Renovations
for
our
district
facilities,
all
of
which
add
up
to
better
safer
Centennial.
So
do
give
that
a
look
up
next
7.2
items
presented
for
approval
tonight.
It
resolved
that
the
Centennial
School
District
Board
of
Directors
approves
the
following
items.
K
All
right:
7.2,
a
Awards,
the

Second,
all
in
favor
all.
D
D
I
didn't
see
that
in
your
list,
I
know
it's
very
involved
which
I
find
amazing,
but
then,
on
the
other
hand,
look
at
the
parking
lot.
We
have
to
have
an
expert.
Tell
us
how
to
do
the
parking
lot
so
I
understand
all
that,
because
we
don't
want
to
do
it
wrong.
