The Board asked for an update on the Huddle Program. Dr. Hire invited Mr. Kevin Yoder to provide the Board with the requested update on the new Huddle program. Mr. Yoder explained that the program originally began for football and basketball quite a few years ago. It allowed the filming of games for coaches. Since then it has expanded and has beneficial features. It is no longer just for football and basketball, it can be inclusive of all sports and other activities. Each player has a page, coaches can cut snips of the films and put them on players' pages to view. Students can send films to recruiters. Mr. Yoder checked with all school teams to see how many wanted to use it. The teams would share the cost so the more teams involved the less cost per sport. Mr. Yoder stated that there are additional benefits that individual sports can purchase and pay for separately. For example, coaches can have I-pads on the sidelines to show films during an event. The cost includes 2 cameras. There will be a camera mounted at Stewart Field and one in the Gym, these can be used for other events that take place such as graduation as well. He explained that this may not be possible to use this week due to the calibration time. He also shared that there is a cost to watch the games online. The district receives a percentage of revenue from these proceeds. Claxon will continue to live stream our games, If WTNS wants to tap in, we can have their audio on our Huddle live stream if we choose to do this. Dr. Butcher asked about the cost of the program. Mr. Yoder said the base cost is $8,000 a year we signed a 3-year contract. In the first year, we are guaranteed $5,000 back. Year 2 & 3 the price will be determined by the revenue brought in from the online viewing. Dr. Butcher asked about cameras for the baseball team. Right now we can use our own camera, I-pad, Go Pro, etc. Mr. Yoder shared that Coach Herman has used this in the past and is helping all coaches get familiar with it.
Dr. Butcher asked Kevin if he had any updates on the scoreboard. Kevin said he has not been able to gather that information but will continue his efforts.

Scott Bertke, from Tremco, shared a Powerpoint presentation with the Board. He reviewed areas of the roof that were repaired over a month ago and now show significant damage caused by the turkey buzzards. He discussed measures that will be taken with the approval of the change order that may resolve the buzzard issue with the roof. He stated that the buzzards seem to like the dark rubber roof. The new roof will be tar and gravel, which the buzzards are not touching on other areas of the high school roof with that surface. Scott recommended coating the library roof, which does not need to be replaced but is drawing buzzards, with a bright white coating that may also deter them. He also stated that he has reached out to numerous others in his profession, asking if others have had similar experiences with turkey buzzards and if so, how they have dealt with them. All of those he spoke with had never heard of anything like this.
The Superintendent recommends that the Board approve Change Order 001 to the Owner-Contractor Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal, Inc. (“Kalkreuth”) for the Roofing Project (the “Project”) in the total amount of $452,943.75 to add the cost of the additional scope for the Project.

President Phil Hunt asked for an explanation. Ms. Eyerman explained that this does not commit us to purchase. It is needed by META in order to begin the Competitive Bid process for Bus Pricing for this year. They use this information to determine a range for the bidders of possible bus orders for the year for pricing. We have had the Board approve this similar resolution with the OME-RESA-related purchasing consortium. Since Coshocton participates in both that and META, approving this allows us to look at both and purchase from the entity that received the best pricing.
