to 1: p.m. at wee bake fresh Bakery which is formally Gourmet desserts bakery located at 851 vanav which is confused because it's across the street from the Walgreens on Mount Prospect Avenue it's an opportunity for us to connect I'm going to have coffee Donuts cookies waiting thank you for your valuable time and your consideration once again I am Joseph sieno number four on the ballot for a seat on the Clifton Board of Education this November 7th and I look forward to seeing you at the polls thank you all very much okay good evening ladies and gentlemen I don't know if you guys remember me from last time uh but I was was talking about the transgender issue um section the district policy 5756 C if you could just please state your name your name is oh Anthony dvo I live in Clifton thank you been here for 17 years have a 10-year-old son in the district everybody's doing great um I was here about 5756 before I start I want everybody to know I have nothing against the LGBT Q Community this is not what my problem is my problem is in this poorly drafted document it states that there is no affirmative huh it states that there is no affirmative Duty for any School District staff member to notify a student's parent of the student's gender identity or expression the rest of this isn't worth even talking about once again my point is the state is now attempting to co-parent with a parent as I said before if my kids's got a snotty nose I want to know I'm quite sure that if Little Johnny goes and breaks a window he's going to the parents are going to get a call I'm pretty sure that if he scrapes his knee somebody's going to get a call but if Little Johnny wants to walk around and pretend he's a unicorn and change his name in school then I'm not supposed to know that is the most ridiculous thing that I have ever heard in my life trying to remove a fundamental right from a parent I'm not here to sit there and say or be told hug your child at night that was a pathetic response the reality that everybody says this is not a mandate and it's only guidance that is another fallacy the reason why is because the AG that was arguing that case CU I pulled up the brief I pulled up everything I pulled up the minutes I pulled it all up he was at a point where he was going to lose and what does he do he picks up this thing and it says School transgender student guidance for schools and everybody stopped but it's not guidance because guidance if you look in the dictionary says to help to guide somebody to do something to get them to an end point for the state to spend all this money suing these districts that don't agree with it that's not that's not guidance that's called a forced mandate anybody that can read knows what that is number one number two looking at how this works and how this is written I would be ashamed to put my name on this ashamed and I write and I do things for a living whoever threw this together doesn't know what they're doing and I don't care what anybody says or what anybody does the reality is if you're trying to take away a fundamental right from a parent you're going to have problems you you have to do what's right forget about being scared about litigation costs forget about all that do what is right we we we destroyed our kids during coid we really messed them up because everybody had their own special interest with regards to it and now we're going to do this I've got a 10-year-old son and only 57 seconds left I'm not going to put him through it and as I said before and angry parent I am willing to fight a bear with a toothpick and let me tell you if you see that pray for the bear don't pray for me because the bear will lose and that's all I have to say thank you good evening Elias Rago president of the Clifton Student Union um I come today with two um issues um so as we all know you can look at the news you've heard it at board meetings there is a national teacher shortage um and first let me say that I'm not knocking administration because I understand that Administration is doing the best they can with the present situation but um maybe some aren't aware of how badly this is affecting students currently multip there's at least two um classes are quite literally learning virtually as they walk into a classroom and are expected to sit down open their Chromebook log into some kind of Zoom or Google meet and learn from a teacher that likely doesn't know their name maybe doesn't even live in New Jersey and I think we can all say that that simply does not make sense and it's not beneficial to the student um once again I understand Administration saw this as a simple fix and everything um and I'm happy they did that because the Alternatives could be worse um but the reason why this really you know hit a nerve is because so many of Board of Education members and it's more than one that's either sitting up there today or running now run on the promise of teacher retention that they're going to bring teachers into the district and I question how can you think that you're going to run on a campaign promise that is is an issue for Nationwide um it really doesn't make sense to me and it really just doesn't make sense because students are quite literally not learning as in I've heard them say to me personally I've I've been told personally and I've heard them say to other people we can't learn how are we expected to actually sit in the classroom with over 20 students you know it's bad enough people complain that in a classroom with 30 students they can't learn one teacher now they're in a classroom with almost 30 students and their teachers on the computer it doesn't make sense um and once again I acknowledge this is a national issue you know I saw on the agenda today I believe at least if I understand it correctly four more PA professionals are resigning um it really is affecting our schools um I had a friend that couldn't start a club because there aren't enough pair professionals um I acknowledge the district's you know once again they're quick fixes I see that we're going to raise the salaries of substitutes but that that's not how you fix this um and if your argument of why you should be voted for is because you can raise people's um wages and you think that that's really going to fix this because last time I checked we did that last year too and we're still struggling with this you know it's not the right quick fix and you're on here because somebody trusted you to fix issues somebody trusted that you can think critically and that you can face these issues that face the district and affect students parents whatever it may be um so first of all I don't think that's the right quick fix it's something and I once again I acknowledge that but more has to be done because it's truly affecting students thank you all very much for um good evening my name is Anna man and I am here to speak up for my daughter's asthma action plan um that was denied by a Dr Basista and Mr Rober toy um The Asthma action plan came straight from tonfly Pediatrics our doctor um with the alal dose that she's been prescribed since she was a baby and this doctor Basista denied our asthma action plan because he says he's concerned about the dose and I'm here to ask for help um cooperation I'm willing to sign a hippo release form so that the doctors can speak to each other um because I don't want to delay this any further it's a life-threatening um matter and I'm afraid that when she's in school and she's having an asthma attack and the pump doesn't work for her I I'm afraid that I won't get to the school on time um we were given a handwritten note it was a handwritten denial note and I was honestly a little surprised by the handwritten note um that I that I emailed Mr Rober toy um and he confirmed the denial and I even sent um a document from hackin sack University Medical Center showing that the dosage that she's getting is correct none of the um um the prescri uh the pharmacies none of the pharmacists have ever expressed any any concern on the dose so I'm really not sure why I'm being um denied or prolonging what she needs um at school and all I'm asking is that they give her a nebulizer treatment because the pump doesn't her it does it's not effective for her she's 6 years old um that's all thank you um silence pleas please sure good evening everyone uh Joe Kenova 21 Hudson Street I'm running for border of Ed number 7 on the ballot uh I'm not here tonight to be repetitive this is the final meeting before the election and as candidates we could tell you what we know what we have experience in but the truth is that it doesn't matter because you can learn that as you go and as long as you dedicate time to being a board member you could be an effective one so we could be good public speakers but that's really only necessary if the board is members of president or someone like Dr Roberto who represents our interests as a district we could tell you our position on issues but that's only a glimpse into time on certain known issues in the moment we could show up to every event in town but it does that re does that really mean we care more what skills are really needed listening skills to represent the students in public on issues and items that come up coming up with policies that meet the needs of the district and respect students and parents providing a value ad for subcommittees and issues facing our district not just taking up a seat being a springboard for the super if needed to understand if what he's thinking makes sense most of all the values and morals of a board member are important issues change from day to day but knowing the moral character of a person knowing how they evaluate situations gives you a great idea as to how they will represent the community if they are on the board regardless of the monster of the week that we need to tackle or the issues that occur most of the job is being a level-headed person that can reason with others to understand the issues and vote their conscious on what's best for both the school and the community My overall thoughts for students is that we need to provide them with with what is needed to have a shot at success and it's our job to show them all the areas they can go so they could choose the profession that they love because it resonates with them and not because they think it might be a fit for their future I have three girls and they attend Clifton schools I hear firsthand items that come up and would love to continue making things better and move along for Clifton if what anything I have said that resonates with you tonight as a voter I would appreciate your vote for me this November thank you anyone anyone else wish to address the board hey right here oh I'm sorry I didn't see him hi I'm Cameron Hebron I'm number three on the ballot and like the other candidates before me I'm not here to speak too too much about my Board of Ed race but I am running on a platform of advocacy accessibility and accountability um am I even speaking into the right mic um so first things first I wanted to talk about teacher retention as well as school crowding since I heard that stated earlier school crowding and teacher retention were huge issues even before Co and now that now that CO's over they still remain that way either thankfully or unth thankfully Co shifted a lot of priorities and allowed the state to expend more of the budget on the grounds on the premise that it helps Public Health however they didn't do any work on the back end to actually ensure schools continue to get budget the this budget while schools were already previously under budgeted prior to coid um data showed that short-term fixes like teacher trainings bonuses help but don't actually solve the root of the issue or the long-term issue however there is data that shows quality of life cost of living and other resources outside of bordered would help solve these issues like a parent stated earlier asthma inhalers as well as other health care is a huge it's a huge need for a lot of communities let alone our community schools are expected to be a not by the taxpayer but schools are expected to be a source of free child care as well as health behavioral modeling as well as a source of nutrition for students however we do pay out of pocket for lunches here um other states other counties and other districts don't necessarily have to do the same um that's more tax stuff on the back end next thing I wanted to talk about at first I was confused as to why the health standards were even controversial I hear a lot of people bringing them up I got asked a couple questions about that anyway and just by reading the policy it seemed pretty standard for most developed nations with and like within the last decade it's really on par with most developed Nations um when we talk about transgender people that's only half a percentage less than .5% of the population but in short it's important to have state legislation that doesn't make performative gestures towards a group and actually helps these minority groups going back how this Segways into the pharmacy The Asthma thing and other health care needs when someone is transgender they have the frontal lobe of their brains the white matter in the frontal loes of their brains more accurately aligns to the gender they identify with as Oppo as opposed to the gender they were born with AKA The frontal loes of your brain don't have that much differentiation between the gender your body was assigned and the gender you perceive yourself as that comes from hormone washes in the womb and there's a lot of research behind that let me just get through this taking things a little further I see the same curriculum making linguistic mistakes it's a little bit sloppy and honestly revamping the anti-discrimination policy would do a lot more for families and students and honestly the state at large um to take things even further the health curriculum is the same base with the past decade with a the same base we had over the past decade with wider ranges of implementation but it's statistically proven by many studies to reduce the prevalence of communicable diseases and not non-communicable diseases when we have thorough legislation we when we have thorough planning around health education and health literacy it reduces communicable diseases like coid and non-communicable diseases like HIV and STI um next New Jersey has some of the lowest STI incidents in the country I think it's around 47 and that's all a result of good policy put forward not only by the Board of Ed but by the state um emotionally changing policy would put us in League with States who have amended their health aded standards and have gotten higher incidences of HIV as well as other STI okay um there was one more okay some of my notes from the last session just rapid fire who decided to name the the thing A literacy Green Card why are we measuring English literacy through something called a green card a punch card was right there um Bravo to you guys for the data are the therapists and TR County behavioral changed in gender dysphoria and is it accurate adequate all right thank you vote number three hello everyone good evening my name is Dr lanade uh I'm an Iranian American and I live here in Clifton uh firstly I don't think uh Middle East or any politics should be discussed here at the Clifton Board of Education meetings we have so much to focus on when it comes to education I think we should make a rule to only discuss matters that directly have to do with our children's education but since some of the members of this board have brought up the situation with Israel and Palestine on multiple occasions in the past I'd like to address it today let me start by saying that I want peace for all innocent civilians let's make that our goal and reach out to other community leaders to wish condolences for their tragic losses and to see how we can help to achieve peace rather than Stoke flames of anger and hatred I'm really worried about something tragic Happening Here in Clifton and if we don't reach out in dialogue and find ways to encourage our community members to calm things down I believe we're headed to a dark place my uh my question that I'm here for tonight is I need to know specifically from Mr abdrabo who has spoken many times in the past about the Palestinian cause I'd like to know where you stand because I won't feel safe sending my children to school with a board member who thinks what Hamas did is Justified for the cause so my question is do you believe what Hamas did was immoral you condemned the horrific act committed by Hamas to innocent civilians and children please stop this is you're not going to be directing questions to specific board members we are not going to be answering politically charged um issues with you it has nothing to do with the business at hand of this board of education great so then hopefully you guys can establish a rule that matters like this should not be discussed in these meetings that would be even better I'm going to ask you respectfully to move on with whatever comments you wish to make but not direct them at any particular board member and please try to address questions that our relevant to board operations and the education of the students of Clifton okay great so I would like to request from the board to establish this rule that I'm requesting we'll take it under advisement sir I'll be watching online after to go put my kids to bed thank you for everything you guys do thank you good evening my name is Lor L I'm the president of the Clifton Education Association I would like to remind the candidates that the Board of Ed education Commissioners are responsible for overseeing and regulating The District's Public educational system their primary roles include setting education policies they establish policies and regulations for our district to ensure the high standards that we are accustomed to curriculum standards working with Janina kusevic the board plays a crucial role in developing and updating curriculum standards to enhance the quality of our great education school funding they allocate funds to ensure equitable distribution of resources the accreditation of our school district the board makes sure that the district receives its accreditation ensuring the district meets specific quality standards in addition the job of the Clifton Board of Education commiss Commissioners is essential for several reasons quality education our education here is phenomenal we have to work to improve this quality in Clifton which is vital for the future success of our students the equity help ensure that all students have an access to fa fair and Equitable education regardless of their location or background our accountability the board holds schools accountable for their performance driving improvements in the educational system policy development they create and update policies that adapt to changing educational needs technology and societal Trends funding allocation the board's decisions on school funding impact the avail ability of resources for schools which affects the learning environment and opportunities for our children in summary Clifton Board of Education Comm Commissioners plays a pivotal role in shaping and regulating the district's educational system with a direct impact on quality equity and future of our education here in Clifton now I know that many of you will be going to the convention for the school board just like I always go to the Jaa convention and I haven't missed that in 25 years the only time was Sandy that was it but I saw that you guys have some great sessions 364 exhibitors you're going to learn a whole lot of great stuff there for our district and I'm really happy to hear that now I just want to um piggy back on the teacher shortage and I want Elias to know that the cea and the district were working together on that so we're looking for opportunity to get more teachers here into the district and as everybody knows it's a national shortage and the problem is so many years especially here in New Jersey with one of our previous Governors that the idea of being a teacher and being treated very unfairly in the news and um being torn apart uh has stopped many people wanting to go into education and it's usually the first five years and that's the key time when people make up their mind are we going to stay or are we going to go so I just want to reassure that we're working together with the district to find solutions to this National problem thank you very [Applause] much anyone else wish to address the board seeing none motion to close motion by m Mr robero second by Mr Mahia okay we're now going to move uh I'm going to do uh number eight first Dr roboy please thank you Mr President it gives me uh great pleasure to have one of our uh exceptional students here tonight with mom um and our special education technology integration coach Miss fante and speech and language pathologist from school 17 Miss Heather pulk to do a brief presentation on augmentative alternative communication AAC and recognition of AAC month uh Commissioners you'll remember last month uh Mr brunak read a a resolution where the board uh confirmed and and recognized uh AAC month after their brief presentation Henry one of our exceptional students will show us how he uses his AAC device Mr fron good evening my name is Amy Franti I'm a special education technology integration coach for the district well first let's start happy AAC Awareness Month AAC Awareness Month happens every October AAC Awareness Month began in 2007 initiated by AAC organizations it's a time where people and organizations shine a light on AAC to help more people understand what is AAC celebrate people who use AAC to communicate and share the latest tools and Technologies in AAC the ultimate goal for the month is to make people aware of AAC and to create supportive communities for our AAC users so what is AAC AAC is short for augmentative and alternative communication augmentative means to supplement so it includes things that make communication easier such as text messaging or pointing alternative means instead of as it includes the things that completely replace V verbal communication such as a communication book or a speech generated device so who uses AAC AAC is all of the tools we use to communicate in addition to or instead of verbal speech so most of us are using AAC every day some individuals who cannot communicate verbally or have trouble being understood will rely on an AAC device to assist them they may have a developmental disability which has affected the development of their speech or have acquired a a disorder that has affected the individual's ability to speak such as a stroke what can AAC look like here are eight pictures of different AAA AAC systems that you may find across our district in the leand corner is a flip book so students can flip through the pages to communicate their wants and needs to the right the green go talk that is 20 images that stay in a one location and then students could select their message and it will spee uh it will generate speech next is a switch so if a student um has a message we put an icon on the top we select it help and it communicates what the student needs to the right is an eye gaze tracking system and here if a student is unable to point um to an icon they can use their eyes to select the different icons to communicate their wants and needs needs and then in the left hand corner that's an igas system that's just paper that we can create uh we have Apex it's called a picture exchange communication system and here a student would take an icon provide it to a communication partner to let them know their wants and needs next we have an iPad which is a high-tech device that would have um different applications to communicate and in the rightand corner is a communication coreboard there are two types of AAC we have our uned AAC and this is AAC that doesn't require a physical Aid or tool so it's our facial expressions body Gest body language gestures or the use of sign language and then we have our aided AAC and that is AAC that uses tools and materials such as a symbol board a communication board a switch or a speech generating device just some information about our Clifton AAC users all students in our district who cannot communicate verbally or have trouble being a being understood are provided with a type of AAC system by a district speech language specialist we currently have 63 students who are using a high-tech AAC device which is the iPad um and we currently use two different applications so we the S the SL SLP will select which application would work best with the student we would upload it to a device and then provide that to our students and then I myself um do parent and staff trainings throughout the school year so that they um are using the systems effectively so I'd like to thank you all for supporting all our AAC users and now i' would like to introduce one of our AA AAC AAC users to the [Applause] podium okay is Henry my name is Henry [Applause] okay and we have a few um questions from the commissioner so if you'd like to ask a question Henry will answer

held for Henry and when he was like a little baby like how old his baby brother that he didn't want to talk about cuz he was too worried about the cats uh when he was around his age you know we didn't know if he would walk we didn't know if he would talk we didn't know what type of life he would lead and literally there would be nights that like my husband and I both like dreamt of him walking and like dreamt of him talking one day and he walks now you know you saw him walking all over you know he wanted to go up all these stairs in this building um you know and I feel like when that became a reality I you know we stopped having those dreams you know and and I realized recently even though he doesn't talk verbally I haven't had a dream in a really long time of him speaking because I I have heard his voice you know it doesn't sound the way you your kids voices sound but I know it's you know his mind and his heart and I just wanted to thank the Board of Ed and the special services department and Miss Gorski and miss pulk and everyone that you know works with him tirelessly every day his teacher Miss Huston is wonderful with him all his power professionals everyone is wonderful

all user complaints by ensuring functionality and efficiency of sites and web services Clifton public schools high school extinguish Appy point of the month October 2028 2023 my bad presented to to Jeffrey horn for outstanding service dedication and commitment to the Clifton Public Schools learning [Applause] community con [Applause] Mr M Mr Smith also Mr horn made the mistake of telling me he wasn't sure how formal this was so he wrote down a few words so um after your picture maybe we'll let Mr horn say a few words [Applause] un right all right guys uh duh I didn't know how formal this was so I wrote a couple things down um good evening ladies and gentlemen colleagues administrators board commission Commissioners I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude and appreciation for to be nominated for this honor uh when people explain what I do for the district they seem to like describing it as that I wear many hats uh I suppose that is true in some respects um I am a network coordinator for the technology department I manage all Auditorium productions for CHS I dabble in live streaming I am a media specialist uh and I am a teacher although I not in the classroom uh that is the hat that is most important to me um to explain uh technology as we all know can be very frustrating um so I approach resolving issues uh with a teachers's perspective in mind uh I dedicate myself every day to tackle each and every Tech issue with urgency efficiency and with a smile on my face as someone mentioned me earlier uh I do talk through Tech problems with our administrators teachers and students uh from a teachers perspective as I said so they can understand the problem at hand and that tends to help alleviate some of the frustrations uh if technology is hampering our administrators well they are not productive in guiding our district if technology is not functioning in our classrooms the direct result is the loss of incredibly valuable instructional time and in the end it's about maximizing instructional time uh for our teachers to instruct our students of this District so um for me that's why I'm here uh I approach my job with great pride and enthusiasm to make sure we do maximize the instructional time for our students um and so I guess people had seen this taken notice of that regarding me and I'm extremely grateful for that uh I would like to thank everyone involved with this recognition I would like to mention a few special thank yous my colleagues and Friends Mr mccy Mr lesler Mr Rose Miss kenning miss sagorski Mr Mecca my

any questions I do but uh through you Mr President directed to uh sis superintend jjo um I I know you were at the uh and just so the public understands and also particularly our board members so I know you at the you mentioned the district collaborative meeting and you have some feedback can you just explain what some of this feedback was from the ca just uh this and this is regard the the the homework recommendations from our students so unfortunately due to a conflict I was unable to attend the uh District collaborative meeting but I did pass the information along to Dr Roberto and in turn Miss Lama uh for the most part what the feedback was it is seems to be a very good idea but is always want the consensus of the staff and as such we'll be sending a survey to staff just to get feedback from from all stakeholders within our teaching Community as opposed to just the members of the DCT as well as just the committee thank you and there's one other security issue um in regards to students being at committees obviously it's fine but in terms of uh reports since Dr bar is not here um through you Mr President to either superintendent uh kovich or Jero can we make sure maybe I'm just going a little too much with this that students aren't named when we read these just say student representatives are there just for the for security purposes um that's my recommendation I don't know how other board members feel about that um I yes I don't think they they had a problem with it Mr abajo because they are the student Representatives they were charged by their group to come so I think they were kind of happy that we had actually mentioned them but going forward if we have anybody in lower grades I would be more than happy we should ask them sorry next time um uh if they wouldn't mind being mentioned and then we would just keep them out but I'm happy to see that the students were at the meeting because uh in the whole time that I've been in on the board in 12 years this is the second time we actually had students at our policy meeting and it it's nice to see them again and it was refreshing that they got to see the process so thank you very much to the students that attended and the board for allowing them to come thank you okay we'll now move on to our finance um commissioner brunak thank you Mr President minutes of the October 16th 2023 finance committee

building of school 4 Change yes okay I guess to you Mr uh Mr Paris the leak in the corner of the building for school 4 um is if it becomes a bigger issue have we talked about funds that would come out of is that a insurance issue is that going to be at a what budget line funds did we get a report back on what needs to be done there to remediate that uh the the roofer is going out next week he was a little swamped we had him at uh a few other schools unfortunately uh but no it would not be covered under Insurance um we would just take it out of our Maintenance building repairs thanks thank you okay um food and Transportation uh commissioner Santiago thank you president Smith the food and transportation committee met on October 17th start time was 5:30 end time was 6:18 uh in attendance were myself Mr commissioner Paris president Smith um Mr Jenaro Mr shihada Mr Rosenberg from pomptonian Miss Nick from transportation and Mr doctor we started with the food service we be uh we uh started with a beginning of the year update Mr Rosenberg gave an update on how the year is progressing he spoke about new kitchen kitchens at school 1 and school 5 and new equipment installed and tiling at CCMS and woodro Wilson at uh Clifton High School uh we moved snack lines and added two new serving areas School 13 cafeteria upgrade is still in progress waiting on a Transformer through referendum Mr shikada gave an overview of lunch demographics roughly 65% of our students are free and or reduced lunch Year date debt is 65,67 there was rollover debt from last year of 142 502 the debt uh was at 250,000 at one point last year so through the business office um and that staff and all their hard work uh we reduced it down um from 250 uh to the 142 the business office is sending out weekly notifications to parents in addition to building based notifications for debt above $20 njie implemented uh by by state due to cost of living students who would be denied on normal application can possibly be free through this program it's a state subsidy which we can possibly add um some more students there and uh there is legislation that's being worked on for possibly Universal free lunch with an anticipated um uh you legislative uh passing of that sometime in 2027 but it's with the state right now so we'll see uh Commissioners recommended ways to have applications filed uh filled out I'm sorry at various building based events so you know all of our school events our HSA events we have so many of them um we discuss maybe uh having literature or Flyers there with a QR code that parents can um scan and then have the application right there and immediately start applying to that because we just need as many students as we can to fill that out um and so Mr doctor is going to look into that Mr Rosenberg told the committee he was promoted um and there's a new gentleman David who's going to be uh at the next meeting he's going to be the day-to-day person Alex has been working closely with Mr shihata weekly um so uh congratulations good luck to Alex he's still going to be with us but he's going to be over a couple of districts so then the transportation part of the uh meeting started we discussed silven Avenue property update property AC acquisition is nearing the final stages we have a draft contract being worked on by our attorney and presented to us in the near future land surveying has taken place and once a contract is in place we will be able to add uh to do land testing we discussed possible uh old Honda location which is still in use by the current occupant and um we uh I Believe Miss Nick started uh discussing the start of the year with our buses very busy but minimal issues uh Dr Rober toi expressed his gratitude to Liz and her team we discussed the electronic the electric buses still no uh ETA on that we're anticipating arrival by Christmas we'll see but um we can't definiely definitively confirm that we're expecting three 24 passenger vans electric and lastly we discussed a new position miss Nick who is head of the Pupil Transportation has been swamped and um we discussed the need for a new position to leviate some of that overload work that she has and the committee asked for this to be discussed during budget meeting to implement a new position any questions yeah so uh Mr Sing I would just to uh emphasize that again um miss Nick is requesting this uh help per se um she has been working a tremendous amount of hours um because she doesn't have an assistant or somebody that can assist her with this so that's why she's asking for this new position so um we asked uh Administration that they would put it in the budget for next year correct um we did discuss the possibility of giving her some temporary help until then so I don't know Administration could look into that um she was she was telling the committee that she was you know putting in quite a bit of hours so uh we don't need her to get burned out as well so um all right we'll move on sorry Smith just for notations of the committee um I just remembered uh I think believe the legislation for school launch just got pushed back possibly to the 2 29 school year uh since they delayed it for legislation that's the last thing I heard from friends on the legislature side so FYI yeah it's it's it's it's stuck it's been stuck since uh late June I believe in committee uh I think it was agriculture um and they're talking about 2020 I think it's uh assembly Bill 5563 I think um I got to double check it Tony I'll give it to you no problem Mr Bak yeah look this thing about the universal lunch or whatever commissioner alujo sorry so what is it is it up for this would that be paid for by the district or is that going to be paid for by the state or by the feds I mean if it's taken by if it's taken by the state legislature there I'm I there's two ways they can do this right but I'm pretty confident and then Mr shahan from the business office probably correct me I would say from the state I don't think they're they're um I don't want say funneling money from the federal level on this one because otherwise it would have been a nationalwide concern in terms of this but since it's stuck on the state level it would probably most likely I'm 99.9% positive that it's coming from the state level so so we would our normal budget would not be on the hook for this is that correct no the state would pick up the tab that's why it's pushed back five years so they can plan yeah funded liabilities I get it thank you very much it's not 63 it's 5573 I just looked it up thank you everybody okay our um superintendent's HSA um uh committee uh Miss bassford thank you the the HSA committee met on October 17th uh we started at 6:30 I'm proud to say

have our biggest event of the year which is homecoming um if you see the on the picture over there of the band drum line last year we started a tradition where at the end of our games the drum line kind of walks everyone out and plays and everything um it actually is now our second year that we've done it so we're trying to make it a tradition to include the band there during homecoming games the kids thought it was great and even busted out their electric slide that they do typically at the end of basketball games before they walked out of the school um if you see in the middle picture we have our staff members there so one of our games that we always end with is the tug of war game um and our seniors won this year so they beat out freshman's uh all the way through Juniors and everything but then we surprised them with a staff tug a war and the staff luckily won just barely but they won um and then one of our biggest Traditions during homecoming had that we always start off with is our hallway decorations so our theme this year was Hollywood um all the H all the hallways looked fantastic the seniors did Mama Mia it was very beautiful um but I wanted to highlight the Juniors they uh did Top Gun one of my favorite movies so um but they had a nice Runway they had airplanes and everything so that's a nice little tradition that we always do and then they spend nice time cleaning that up at the end of the week too so thank you for all those students who came out um at the very bottom we have our fight for Like an Eagle this was our breast cancer awareness month

had a nice little field trip out there they did a wonderful job um and Miss McGinty and the choir team as well as ban um just recently went ahead and had their tryouts for jazz festival and everything

very good hopes for Mr Ethan Hogan he just won his um conference for us uh we have some lovely ladies that are also doing very well in that Series so we have high hopes for crost country as well and then I just wanted to give another shout out to Ethan who um currently I think about two weeks ago signed with the University of North Carolina to continue his running career out there so we're very proud of that young man um if you go to the next slide I have more of the educational going on here um if you look into that corner we have four of our students and miss Germain that are proudly uh displayed out here every um month we do staff and student of the month um our character trait was purposed so those young um students over there won because of their purpose and their goals in life and where they're going and then Mr Jermaine we did a shout out because of all the help he's one staff member that truly bleeds blue and so he got the staff Spotlight as well for that month um um if you look at that lovely display of Miss Bard in Eastern Illinois University our College um it was college application month this month and so our counselors have put fantastic videos out there and to support going to college we put every teacher every counselor every Aid out there on uh displayed what college they're going to so every day they walked into c a classroom they were seeing the different colleges that we've all G on to um and then lastly yesterday was October 18th we had a very large group um it's probably our largest group that we've had recently that took the PSAT and the nmsqt which is basically um the National Merit Scholarship program test so um we had 39 sophomores and 64 Juniors take it so um sometimes we've just closed down a classroom room our study hall room for it and this year we actually had to bring everyone into the gym because we had such a large good T A large group taking it um and we also just got some notice about the group that took it last year we have Mr Noah Boyer Edwards who um is now a semii finalist he's competing for actually one of these scholarships so we're very proud of him and then we have Lane elers who um got her scores back and she's recognized for a commendable um score as and which is known as a commendable student so congratulations to those two students of ours and that's all I have unless you have any questions for me awesome perfect well appreciate the building update and sports update too so perfect all right we move on to our assistant superintendent reports so I'm going to pay you back off of Amanda real quick so when they took the test yesterday it was um the first time that we've given this on online um the College Board is pushing to take sat PSAT all of that will be on an online test now much like the elementary students take the Illinois assessment of Readiness um and so it was there was some learning curves to go along with it but um the councelors the administrators um but es especially the students that took that test did a fantastic job with switching up a format on them all of a sudden with that so just give them an extra shout out um this month kind of my my highlights are um Kelly search at Eagle View and Erica Kane at uh Park viiew are two of the teachers that are piloting our Orton Gillingham um reading program this year um like I said we have several teachers that win over the summer to get trained they are two of them Kelly is really taking the lead with first grade and doing a lot of the planning getting it organized for the team so that all of the first grade teachers that are piling in it are on the same page um and have everything that they need Erica Kan is doing it in second grade um and she has been great with coming and being um communicating with me a lot about what's going well what she's struggling with what do they still need um so that we can keep tweaking it um we are working with um Jen Hall at waterl and we are actually sending four teachers on Monday and eight teachers uh in November to go do some observations at um in water that they've been implementing for a while and so now that our teachers have been trained they can kind of go see it in action um at the middle school I want to give a shout out to Rachel Matthews um she is in the PE department and does an exceptional job teaching but we've been spending our last couple sip days in the PE departments looking at the updated mandated units that the state has set forth and all of the requirements um and while you know science social studies had a one page or a two page the PE Department actually had 14 pages of updates to their state mandated units um and so they've been doing a great job um and Rachel has done a great job at Middle School kind of uh keeping that department together coming up with ideas and sharing them with Administration on how we can get those to work um and then at the high school Scott gerine again um did not realize that he was the high school Spotlight person until Amanda and I had just talked um earlier this week but um Amanda was kind of that spearhead person at the high school in the PE Department um when she left there was obviously a big void to fill and um Scott not only has stepped up and kind of taken that lead but like Amanda said he is willing to do anything for anyone I went over to see High School um the homecoming games and he was right in the middle leading it all on the mic getting things set up ready to go moved it around um anytime anybody asks or needs anything he's always right there to help do that so um really appreciate that and then as far as what else is going on um the state has I guess not temporarily but hesitantly released the school designations um they are under embargo until October 30th and not only have they they were released then they were all redacted because they were wrong then they were released again Chris and I have both heard from multiple people that they are changing so don't get too set in it um I will say though that we have already started diving very deep into the data that there is um with some hopes that the state has some errors in some places to our favor um but at least just getting it and seeing where we at with this data that they're right now giving us um and start setting some goals and some some growth expectations um which is then also leading into some professional development we've been spending a lot of time already this year um I said the elementary teachers are working on that Orton Gillingham uh reading instruction that we've been looking at mandated units we've been looking at our power and priority standards again really making sure that we're focused in on what is essential to be taught um I don't know if you realize but our state standards if you broke them all apart and taught them there's 15,000 hours worth of instruction that needs to happen to cover all of the standards and in a typical school year if you don't take out the days for homecoming games or Christmas parties or anything like that we only have 9,000 hours of instruction um so there's a lot to figure out what's the priority and what's the utmost importance to get taught with our students so we've been doing that we also though have started um Chris and I had a conversation about we've been building up our PD for our teachers um but it's also time to build up the PD for our administrators and so we're slow slowly getting into that um because we uh want strong teachers and strong administrators for the benefit of our students in this District so we're we're starting to work on that as well then parent teacher conferences are going on right now Tuesday night next Friday morning um just thrilled with as many people that we've had signed up um very glad to see the number of teachers that reached out to parents before we even set it up live so um it's been great and hopefully they are going well right now and that's all I have unless you have questions thank you right now we'll move on to our super um I'm going to be short we're we've got projects and we're going to be talking about a lot of the stuff that I've been doing tonight I am getting the tax uh Levy ready for you all to do the initial approval next month um but our tax rate is looking good I believe it's just under 4% right now the eav keeps moving into nice directions that helps us keep that rate down um I'm going to Echo what Alyssa's been saying about all the PD uh we consider ourselves lifelong Learners and we are always getting better and um it's really this last half day I uh was trying to find my sanity and so I went into one of the rooms while they were while they were uh working and I I watched a bunch of the teachers here in Parkview there's no other way to say it they were just absolutely nerding out about early literacy and the rules with the consonant vow consonant and what sound comes from the I mean just the science of reading and I was just sitting there in awe and it was really just very cool so um I am glad that that OG training is coming we've got that resource in Miss Hall at water that's a national trainer and and so it's just it's a really good program and I'm I'm looking forward to seeing where it's going to pay P off but that's the teachers PDS the the administrative PD because we're all learning every time is is also of importance and so it's good stuff that's it that's pretty much it all right perfect we'll take it all right go right into our items for Action uh first one is the approval of the 2023 annual financial report yeah and this kind of goes along with that lifelong learning uh a good audit is like a uh going to the doctor you know you get a check up and they tell you what to do right uh our FY 23 had no um no issues no problems with the financials however during that year while we transitioned over our financial software we realized that there are some weaknesses in our controls and so um last month we had our our presentation of the financials uh Miss Cory and I sat down with Mr schals and went into great detail on how we could could improve and ensure that some things that had happened in the past can't happen again um you've got a copy of the summary of the auditor's results and again these are recommendations that are really for [Music] um just to ensure that we're all reminded that we can always be better we can always do more and uh find your Solutions but with this last little part about the findings you'll see that the criteria the conditions the cost lause um there was really just this one finding and again it was not from something that happened this year but from something that we found this year that we wanted to make sure we took very very seriously um with that said I would recommend that the dis that the board approve the annual financial report Mrs Corey do you have anything you want to add to that no I think you've summed it up I agree okay any questions comments concerns would anybody like to make a motion to approve approve the 2023 annual financial report I'll make that motion thank you Andrew do a second I'll second thank you Tyson roll call pleasey yes Kelly Moyer yes Craig Meyer yes this is Sher yes Tyson search yes Adam hkin yes all right unanimous approval and we go on to Item B which is approval of the bid for the parking lot project and you've got this letter here from FGM you'll see that we had two biders uh krb Excavating and DMS Contracting and this is for the parking lot that would be up at the um city park and uh the recommendation is to go with the base bid we did do an alternate that would add a little extra um sidewalk and the city was looking at whether or not they would want to um tag on that alternate but I I talked with Mr brim today and and they will be doing doing that at a later date and so the recommendation is for us to do the base bid and that would be awarded to krb Excavating and the base bid would be awarded at $47,476 they were the lowest and the most responsive or they are a responsive bidder So Perfect Adam anything you want to add uh nothing to add the only uh I guess question I have is in the recommendation letter from fgma it says that um they had krb I guess had noted that flooring in some light fixtures are concerns for lead times I don't I don't understand why there there's no flooring in this project right and what light fixtures because am isn't amarind providing the elect maybe lighting for the stairs we get some clarity on what light fixtures and why flooring is a concern when there is no flooring in the scope of this contract for this effort okay I will look into that get clarification back to you but I would still recommend the base bid yeah we with that I'll make a motion to approve the base that approve them as the the how about contractor how how about let me make a suggestion on the motion you're about to propose How about if if you make a motion to accept a base bid as long as it doesn't include overages for lighting or flooring since we have well it was only for schedule is was was the only concern that's why I wasn't really okay just the only concern they had for their schedule was with flooring and lighting okay I didn't know if that was part of the contingent or not so no okay all right sorry didn't mean to interrupt so your saying oh I was just saying I would make a motion to to approve approve them as the as the recommended offer or to select krb as our contractor Perfect all right we have a motion do I have a second I'll second all right got it there a roll call please Kelly Moyer yes Greg Meyer yes Lua schacher yes Tyson search yes Adam hkin yes Andre cour yes yes perfect we have a new parking lot congratulations everyone involved know when that's going to start I would ask for that schedule to be shared with the board though okay I think uh it's pretty much ready to go isn't it yeah it's it's just a matter of temperatures and and time so um I will notify FGM tomorrow get clarification on the flooring in the lights but ultimately look for the schedule and see when we can get that so they will um will pending the vote yeah get it started tomorrow yeah I mean they didn't have any like because I when they came to for the bid opening they didn't express any concerns with the the desired completion date so that's why I'm not so concerned with what with the details of the schedule because the completion date we wanted was by April I believe yeah and so they you know obviously their schedule includes a completion date of that but when they're starting when they plan on doing you know ripping up the existing Road stuff like that is I I think it just be good for us to know so that we can start coordinating with the city and anyone using the park Etc so yeah absolutely that Park in lot full tonight with people with the foot the the youngsters playing football so yeah is it's going to be a good addition all right perfect we'll move on to our discussion items we'll start off with the facility study we met today with uh Peter and FGM regarding the high school project we are going to be meeting every other Thursday so our next meeting is November 2nd um we do have a homework assignment uh Mr hemin Mr Myers and I along with Kim poock from uh Cobalt are going to be meeting with Brian Reeves and Amanda Bard um next week Tuesday I believe to put the the the base plans and start making that every teacher's got a room and how many rooms do we have what do we need getting some of that granular details uh this process of adding on and um this kind of project is rather new to me and the idea of getting the big picture and then going down to the details to then go back to make sure the big picture to then go back to the it's it's um it's interesting but um we will be moving ahead and every two weeks we'll be having homework workk assignments and start moving forward do you have anything to add Mr hin from the meeting today uh no I think right now um basically where the meeting we had today was like Chris said it was just a preliminary here's here's a swag of here's everything you wanted and here's some you know a little bit more detail as far as a design and some options so we discussed them giving us different options for the auditorium for the gym for the classroom spaces as far as okay if you did a full build out of everything you know like the auditorium for example all lighting all curtains all sound materials you know sound deadening materials whatever um give us everything outfitted give us the base shell or you know they some of it they called White boxing and give us an option in between so that we can make some cost trade-offs um you know along the way to make sure that we're budget conscious and responsible so that's part of the proc process of where we'll be going over the next couple of meetings is working through okay here's three different pricing options for each of these spaces um what are we going to get or you know maybe not three options maybe five maybe two whatever um but here are some Al alternate options or decision points um based on how how how much you want to outfit now what we can do for later um you know all the classrooms won't be immediately used we recognize that um so us just having those discussions and then looking at what we can do later um as far as Renovations that are have the most impact and which ones would have little impact so a lot of that trade-off discussion um that's kind of we started setting the groundwork for it we haven't actually started the trade-off decisions but setting the groundwork to get the information so that we can make informed trade-off decisions because I mean that's the name of the game with this it's not hey here's everything we want we're going to get everything we want it's how do we make trade-offs along the way that are the right decisions so and still leave opportunities for future projects as money's become available to be able to get some of those things that we had to not get this time right so so it's been a very uh a good process you know and with every step they they start refining their numbers and so but by the next meeting we will have more details perfect any questions all right all right going on to our Item B is the iasb resolutions first reading unfortunately this is not as many as we had in the past so very fortunately yeah and so what we do here is is typically um just bring it to your attention next month we will actually go through each item and um please come with any questions email me any questions you have on them or concerns you have on them and and uh because Mr search will be taking diligent notes next month because he'll be going to the IAS the The Joint conference they call it now um and casting your votes for the [Music] board Perfect all right on to when will the meeting are we moving it up next month yeah it'll be Wednesday so we're just moving in a day we're not going up a whole week yeah no just the day so when we uh set the agendas or the the board meetings that was one of them that we moved and so we did it the Wednesday then we'll travel up the next day those resolutions are also available the publics are available on our new website if you haven't checked it out yet but they are there in case anybody wants to look at excellent point perfect thank you good plug and our new website is hopefully uh more user friendly I think it I like it but good all right any other questions on the resolutions go on to individual board member comments anybody have anything they'd like to share this evening I just wanted to give a shout out thank you to the high school volleyball team and the coaches um last month they participated in my suicide walk that I do every year on the song for soldiers weekend and and um they kind of did it as their little warmup before practice and they also did a collection of some funds um at one of their games and donated that to the suicide Foundation nice anyone else that's hard to follow Lisa all right board M prerogative I don't have anything this evening and we did have a spot for an executive session but I don't think there a necessity for one so we will forego that therefore there will be no action items following the non-existent executive session the only thing left to do is adjourn would anybody like to make a motion to adjourn I'll make a motion thank you Kelly are a second I'll second Lisa all in favor any opposed perfect that concludes our meeting time is 7:32 p.m.

the perform Performing Arts they thank you in advance for your support and they hope to see you at the show November 17th 18th and 19th okay so this is well that was it for um our updates so just um a couple of General issues we've been seeing um including the parent professionals and teachers or lack thereof um so this is a general issue that affects more than our district I believe it is worth addressing the problems facing our school which of course is the direct direct result of the teacher shortage um um starting with the bathroom lines as a result of there not being enough teacher to cover all the floors in each Wing um instead of students excusing themselves for what's supposed to be a brief um bathroom break we find ourselves waiting in a bathroom line turning what was supposed to be a quick five minute trip into a 10minute ordeal which of course takes away from our valuable class time I have also heard from um a couple teachers that they're in positions where they are routinely losing their prep periods in order to subfer classes um as there are not enough substitute teachers and I did see that was on the agenda being discussed so that is um greatly appreciated and though this may seem like an issue that has nothing to do with students in order to receive an optimal education our teachers need to be at their best unfortunately when they're under the stress of an excessive workload and they're being forced to take work their work further and further out of school hours it is putting them and essentially us students at a disadvantage I also ask that we stop and assess the alarming weight the alarming rates of resignation that we see across our district especially in regards to professionals um in this meeting like I said we see four um pars from across the districts rigning and it's important to remember the student to teacher ratio that is um different in our classrooms as it come like in regards to pair professionals um and regular teachers so as the student representative I'd like to make sure that all the voices of the students are heard regardless of ability and that they we're all given an equal opportunity to exceed um wherever our next step may be and I don't mean to sound redundant but I just really wanted to get across this um issue as it is extremely important and um we do see the victories that our prayer professional brings like our new friend Henry so um I just want to make sure that it's heard and um not being overlooked um and as Elias did briefly mention um there has been an issue with um some online algebra one classes so over the past couple days I have heard from many of my peers and friends that they have been learning under an alternative method I have been told by a few students that under this um temporary situation they have been sitting through um an online class which is rather fast-paced um the main problem with this setup is the amount of students who are actually failing the class um and a couple of told a couple of my friends told me that there are some students with uh an average of less than a 10 [Music] um I had the opportunity to talk to the math supervisor Miss Seer about the situation and she expressed the fact that she to has been talking to the students about this algebra 1 class and that she's actively working to alleviate the situation um again I am aware of the teacher shortage that we are clearly seeing the effects of in our own district and it's something that must be overcome as a collective effort but my peers and I would like to ensure that we were being given all the materials needed to thrive and to and one of these imperative imperative materials would be physical teachers in our classroom now I'd like to emphasize that I would never want to undermine the work that is being done for us but I'd like to remind everyone of the danger of be becoming complacent as there in there's always a solution that we can be found to grow as a district thank you again for the steps that have been thank you again for the steps that have been taken and I hope we can continue moving forward to butter us as a whole thank [Applause] you Jay thank you appreciate your report okay um okay we'll move on to 11 adoption of the minutes of the um October 5th meeting 2023 moved by commissioner Abad drao second by commissioner Santiago Paris sorry uh discussion roll

other thing I have is a public service announcement uh on Sunday this Sunday October 22nd at 2 p.m.

any questions I do but uh through you Mr President directed to uh sis superintend jjo um I I know you were at the uh and just so the public understands and also particularly our board members so I know you at the you mentioned the district collaborative meeting and you have some feedback can you just explain what some of this feedback was from the ca just uh this and this is regard the the the homework recommendations from our students so unfortunately due to a conflict I was unable to attend the uh District collaborative meeting but I did pass the information along to Dr Roberto and in turn Miss Lama uh for the most part what the feedback was it is seems to be a very good idea but is always want the consensus of the staff and as such we'll be sending a survey to staff just to get feedback from from all stakeholders within our teaching Community as opposed to just the members of the DCT as well as just the committee thank you and there's one other security issue um in regards to students being at committees obviously it's fine but in terms of uh reports since Dr bar is not here um through you Mr President to either superintendent uh kovich or Jero can we make sure maybe I'm just going a little too much with this that students aren't named when we read these just say student representatives are there just for the for security purposes um that's my recommendation I don't know how other board members feel about that um I yes I don't think they they had a problem with it Mr abajo because they are the student Representatives they were charged by their group to come so I think they were kind of happy that we had actually mentioned them but going forward if we have anybody in lower grades I would be more than happy we should ask them sorry next time um uh if they wouldn't mind being mentioned and then we would just keep them out but I'm happy to see that the students were at the meeting because uh in the whole time that I've been in on the board in 12 years this is the second time we actually had students at our policy meeting and it it's nice to see them again and it was refreshing that they got to see the process so thank you very much to the students that attended and the board for allowing them to come thank you okay we'll now move on to our finance um commissioner brunak thank you Mr President minutes of the October 16th 2023 finance committee

previously heard um School five uh it was requested to look into an exterior basketball hoop uh and we discussed the possibility of replacing it the director of buildings and grounds uh was looking into that and a discussion concerning the stadium uh bleachers uh some leaks that we have uh currently um committee discussed the possibility of renovating the stadium bleachers uh uh given everything around it has been uh looked at about it's been looked at about two years ago um so we need to do something about uh certainly the leaks that are happening there uh school for roof repairs were discussed there's a leak in one corner of the building and the director of buildings and grounds will look into this uh that was the conclusion any questions um The Hoop I'm sorry Mr President the school the hoop at school 5 is that the one in the front lot or the back lot uh well the answer we got back was it was the one in the parking lot okay so I can tell you I can tell you how old they are cuz I remember ordering them from when I was the the HSA president so they're in the front the ones in the back they're old so they need to be replaced but also can you guys um put on your list the front um parking lot um Landscaping in the garden it's just it's a little bit like jungle habitat it needs school it needs a little tension yeah I saw it when I drove past this morning thank you thank you uh Mr President I have a question in regards to the new doors at 16 are that is that the new invested bual that was put in no don't believe yes oh no I didn't think it was that the new door is at 16 yeah it's through the the vestibule yeah I I saw him working out the other day when I was driving by uh and then the other question I have I guess to Mr shahada the leak in the corner of the building of school 4 Change yes okay I guess to you Mr uh Mr Paris the leak in the corner of the building for school 4 um is if it becomes a bigger issue have we talked about funds that would come out of is that a insurance issue is that going to be at a what budget line funds did we get a report back on what needs to be done there to remediate that uh the the roofer is going out next week he was a little swamped we had him at uh a few other schools unfortunately uh but no it would not be covered under Insurance um we would just take it out of our Maintenance building repairs thanks thank you okay um food and Transportation uh commissioner Santiago thank you president Smith the food and transportation committee met on October 17th start time was 5:30 end time was 6:18 uh in attendance were myself Mr commissioner Paris president Smith um Mr Jenaro Mr shihada Mr Rosenberg from pomptonian Miss Nick from transportation and Mr doctor we started with the food service we be uh we uh started with a beginning of the year update Mr Rosenberg gave an update on how the year is progressing he spoke about new kitchen kitchens at school 1 and school 5 and new equipment installed and tiling at CCMS and woodro Wilson at uh Clifton High School uh we moved snack lines and added two new serving areas School 13 cafeteria upgrade is still in progress waiting on a Transformer through referendum Mr shikada gave an overview of lunch demographics roughly 65% of our students are free and or reduced lunch Year date debt is 65,67 there was rollover debt from last year of 142 502 the debt uh was at 250,000 at one point last year so through the business office um and that staff and all their hard work uh we reduced it down um from 250 uh to the 142 the business office is sending out weekly notifications to parents in addition to building based notifications for debt above $20 njie implemented uh by by state due to cost of living students who would be denied on normal application can possibly be free through this program it's a state subsidy which we can possibly add um some more students there and uh there is legislation that's being worked on for possibly Universal free lunch with an anticipated um uh you legislative uh passing of that sometime in 2027 but it's with the state right now so we'll see uh Commissioners recommended ways to have applications filed uh filled out I'm sorry at various building based events so you know all of our school events our HSA events we have so many of them um we discuss maybe uh having literature or Flyers there with a QR code that parents can um scan and then have the application right there and immediately start applying to that because we just need as many students as we can to fill that out um and so Mr doctor is going to look into that Mr Rosenberg told the committee he was promoted um and there's a new gentleman David who's going to be uh at the next meeting he's going to be the day-to-day person Alex has been working closely with Mr shihata weekly um so uh congratulations good luck to Alex he's still going to be with us but he's going to be over a couple of districts so then the transportation part of the uh meeting started we discussed silven Avenue property update property AC acquisition is nearing the final stages we have a draft contract being worked on by our attorney and presented to us in the near future land surveying has taken place and once a contract is in place we will be able to add uh to do land testing we discussed possible uh old Honda location which is still in use by the current occupant and um we uh I Believe Miss Nick started uh discussing the start of the year with our buses very busy but minimal issues uh Dr Rober toi expressed his gratitude to Liz and her team we discussed the electronic the electric buses still no uh ETA on that we're anticipating arrival by Christmas we'll see but um we can't definiely definitively confirm that we're expecting three 24 passenger vans electric and lastly we discussed a new position miss Nick who is head of the Pupil Transportation has been swamped and um we discussed the need for a new position to leviate some of that overload work that she has and the committee asked for this to be discussed during budget meeting to implement a new position any questions yeah so uh Mr Sing I would just to uh emphasize that again um miss Nick is requesting this uh help per se um she has been working a tremendous amount of hours um because she doesn't have an assistant or somebody that can assist her with this so that's why she's asking for this new position so um we asked uh Administration that they would put it in the budget for next year correct um we did discuss the possibility of giving her some temporary help until then so I don't know Administration could look into that um she was she was telling the committee that she was you know putting in quite a bit of hours so uh we don't need her to get burned out as well so um all right we'll move on sorry Smith just for notations of the committee um I just remembered uh I think believe the legislation for school launch just got pushed back possibly to the 2 29 school year uh since they delayed it for legislation that's the last thing I heard from friends on the legislature side so FYI yeah it's it's it's it's stuck it's been stuck since uh late June I believe in committee uh I think it was agriculture um and they're talking about 2020 I think it's uh assembly Bill 5563 I think um I got to double check it Tony I'll give it to you no problem Mr Bak yeah look this thing about the universal lunch or whatever commissioner alujo sorry so what is it is it up for this would that be paid for by the district or is that going to be paid for by the state or by the feds I mean if it's taken by if it's taken by the state legislature there I'm I there's two ways they can do this right but I'm pretty confident and then Mr shahan from the business office probably correct me I would say from the state I don't think they're they're um I don't want say funneling money from the federal level on this one because otherwise it would have been a nationalwide concern in terms of this but since it's stuck on the state level it would probably most likely I'm 99.9% positive that it's coming from the state level so so we would our normal budget would not be on the hook for this is that correct no the state would pick up the tab that's why it's pushed back five years so they can plan yeah funded liabilities I get it thank you very much it's not 63 it's 5573 I just looked it up thank you everybody okay our um superintendent's HSA um uh committee uh Miss bassford thank you the the HSA committee met on October 17th uh we started at 6:30 I'm proud to say

uh it's probably the last time you'll see a free outdoor concert this year because it gets pretty cold out in Clifton uh so it's at Clifton City whole grounds the community ban is having a free outdoor concert bring a chair bring a blanket uh starts at 2m on Sunday thank you thank you uh Mr cago thank you president Smith um so um I had the privilege of uh speaking to students at school 17 to fourth grade classes in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month um it was it was awesome I always love doing that the kids always enjoy um guest speakers and people coming in to visit with them so um principal zagorski uh assistant principal Matos the teachers were Miss HEC Mr Falco uh Miss Vargas and Miss McColly and uh so thank you to them and to all the students they had um kind of Latin American uh geography history um displays that they did there was a big map that first graders did that was incredibly impressive there were um books and it was just it was a great time and I I really appreciate them um uh principal zagorski taught my older son Anthony Jr and Miss heck taught my son Matthew so at school 17 so it was good to see them uh again thank you to Henry for teaching us about augmentative alternative communication he was amazing um full of energy uh also I want to thank the students from school 17 they sent thank yous and that's awesome it really um uh when I see um all the students and you go there and you experience it it's just very inspiring uh congrats to all the employees of the months and the students of the months thank you very much to the parents and to the co-workers Who come out and support them that's very important to show them how uh much you appreciate them and how important these things are um and uh oh thank you to miss Ray for her idea of the employee of the month and the ideas can come from anywhere they don't come just from up here um but yeah that's it thank you one Clifton have a good night okay uh Mr Auber jao thanks Smith I'm going to Echo my sentiments it's great Henry uh students like Henry for the bo meeting coming for a month uh thanks to Henry for joining us tonight this as mentioned this is what clipon education is about it's how we can better the district students should always be the first priority and that is all because of staff and Personnel we have in the classroom and our schools and you know the families at home that can work with uh day in and day out to make sure the students education and perspective learning is not just stopping at the door of the school building but also at home uh one thing that kind of irked me a little bit was um I'm mention her last name because she read it for the public Miss man's daughter uh in regards the asthma attack um we've talked about parents coming to the podium and voicing their concerns this is one um I want to learn more about this and understand why this was denied I get it's Administration and superintendent day-to-day operations but when you have a pediatrician Hack and Sack medical you know supporting her request I know there's always a reason why things happen but when parents come to the podium to speak we as board members must listen understand the frustration and why they're questioning the situation so when it comes to a public portion like this and they're frustrated and this is where they're coming to because they feel that they're being shunned away or door shut and again I'm not saying administrations do that no disrespect to Administration but when that's how they feel I think there should be some sort of um reasoning of what you know there's always two sides to the story and I just want to learn more about that uh allias and Jada the national teacher shortage is a problem six7 years ago we had a nurse shortage 10 12 years ago we had a doctor shortage um it's a long-term issue that we have to tackle in education programs and Partnerships with colleges institutions to hire more teachers is a big step that this district has taken over the years and tonight was an example on our board agenda with the Roman University uh studying education and being able to uh transition into a a level of you know K12 learning and understanding and teaching this is what this is how we get out of it unfortunately steps such as approving substitutes on board of agenda um is a temporary solution it's a Band-Aid I don't want to call it a Band-Aid but it is uh it's not a long-term solution um I questioned I spoke to the superintendent about certain aspects of of long-term subs and subs in general and he has mentioned to me that there's a plan in place uh and I trust him for that you know he's a great leader a great CEO for this district and I'm sure working as Lama mentioned that they've been talking together about this there's a plan in place and I'm I'm just I I'm hopeful to see it uh in regards to our pair of professionals we took one step for full-time last year but the conversation needs to continue to see how we can do better to make sure those pair professionals are able to be with the students like Henry who are needed um and it's huge um I want to hear more from our students like like Elias I have two minutes thank you uh I want to hear students from like from our students who spoke today um to hear back the feedback on Virtual learning um due to the teacher shortage how can we do better what can we do better maybe this is something the education committee can take back and really understand and invite them uh or invite students to understand what their perspectives are um congratulates to all the honors uh honor tonight from our students and employees of the month from across the district once again this is what educ is about the phenomenal employees who have proven tonight that they made a g a great impact on students uh in this District congratulations to our team clubs and I'm an alumni mock trial team I'm proud of your accomplishments I've been following um I've stayed in touch with Mr vaner since I graduated high school and I he tells me via text where they are what they're doing and that's amazing um the 20-year reunion for class 2003 was last week and I met with my mock trial team uh Lauren Lauren and Tom and they are in the same boat so keep it up and last good luck to all the candidates on November 7th I really truly mean that um whoever is chosen and whoever comes and joins this this day um will be a great addition so good luck thank you Miss bford yes thank you to all the speakers that came out tonight uh thank uh congratulations to the students of the month it's distinguished employees Henry technology is a wonderful thing when it's used for good and now Henry has a way to communicate with his family and with others and it's just wonderful to see that advancement for for that for that child and others and I'm glad that our district was able to provide him what he needs I'd like to um call attention to what one of the speakers said about the literacy green card I'd like to discuss that further um I just want my fellow colleagues to know that I re I I was down in Trenton at 8:30 on Saturday morning for the New Jersey school boards Association legislative committee um I'm Dr robotzi I did send you the packet of the attachments if you can please just send that to the rest of the board there's a plethora of information in there that I can't even begin to go through um it's just it's a lot of information a lot of updates and um if you just send the um because there's other stuff about the committee meeting down in Atlantic City and I I don't I don't want to confuse anyone so I have a question about First Amendment rights okay and I'm I'm going to address this because tonight Mark no disrespect to you but it seems like this board flip-flopped we allow people to have um freedom of speech that sit on the DAT but we didn't allow a Community member to have it um and um um I would like to discuss this in executive session because there was several times on this day is when board members expressed their freedom of uh of speech regarding the First Amendment right um I I really didn't think it was appropriate that he was St stopped um and because I I feel like we don't not yet um I have a lot to say I don't want to lose my train of thought um because it happened once before here in Clifton that a person got up and spoke and then the tape was altered and then the ACLU got involved so I just want to bring that to your attention I'd like to discuss it um freedom of speech is allowed by people here on the Das and also in the back room uh June 28th 2021 I was persecuted for My Religion for 3528 seconds about my religious beliefs in executive session and I objected to it several times there's only SE a couple board members that were on the board still back in the day and I objected to it and nobody stopped it and it was about my religious beliefs a tape just recently came to me somebody in the room taped it and I have it I wish I would have had it two years ago because I would have brought it to my attorney and I would have filed suit against those people for violating my rights for about my religion so I I'm I'm going to urge this board I don't know what we're going to do but tonight I witness something that I am not proud of we should have let that man speak thank [Music] you okay address it now the tell so um Miss bord I I want to be very clear about something uh public participation under the open public meeting act uh is is been created for the purpose of allowing members of the community to voice concerns or in or of matters that may be of interest to them it is not a back and forth it is not a question and answer it is not an interrogation it is not uh to be um inflammatory freedom of speech is um a constitutionally protected right um I don't know what happened to you in 2017 I I I can't comment to that I will not I will not comment on that because it's just inappropriate um the gentleman who was speaking had every right in the world to say what he was saying right up until he made it personal to becoming an a conversation with a commissioner on this deas um that is not appropriate um he was I I thought I was fairly clear about the fact that he could continue and say what he wished um I wasn't trying to uh squelch or disenfranchise him in the exercise of his first amendment rights um he has a right to say what he wishes he does not have a right to seek to personalize attack uh somebody up on this day so to the extent that members of the public wish to have discussions uh about things that are important to them that is all fine and good if it crosses over a line and it is a subjective line Miss bord I I will freely admit that um but my role um as far as I see it at least um is to is to in part um protect the sanctity of of this meeting this meeting is to conduct the business of the Board of Education it is not to engage in a back and forth with members of the public they have a right to say what they wish to the extent that someone on this day as wishes to engage with a member of the public um that is the chair's decision frankly to decide since it's the board president who chairs this meeting who will elect to you know make a decision as to whether they'll will be a back and forth there was no back and forth there was about to be a back and forth I'm I'm I'm just saying I was trying to um maintain the decorum of this meeting okay so my question to you is disrespect right no no and and and I thank you for that because I'm sure we're going to get some flak on this because people up here are very liberal with what they they speak about there have been ethics charges is written on about this as well what I want to say is that we didn't have a board retreat this year we have three new members I would I'm requesting that we have a detailed discussion about the role with with public speaking with the First Amendment right what we are allowed and not allowed to hear and also what we're not allowed to say as well and I'm requesting that because I really think that we need it especially in light of what's going on in the in the public and um the world and after what witness T night because if you hadn't been here and or Maggie been here maybe I don't know if our previous attorney would have allowed it and I'm I'm I know I'm going to get flaked tomorrow morning from people because there is stuff going on on the other side of the street that people are complaining about people's rights being shut down so I wanted to just bring that to your awareness I want to make sure that we are we are not doing anything illegal as far as freedom of speech thank you so so let me be perfectly clear whatever is happening across the street I don't represent them M I represent you um and so I can't I'm not going to get engaged in that discourse number one number two I am happy to do whatever it is that the board wishes to do relative to a discussion and an understanding of of the um path through which we walk relative to the First Amendment and what your roles and and you know are in that and what the role of the public is in that okay thank you yes all right we yeah thank you I just really a discussion but okay I mean it's it's here now not in the back so um just want to be clear if someone comes up and talks about something that has absolutely nothing to do with the district nor students extreme example I go up and I talk about the New York Yankees all day long that is something that we would move on from while I would engage in the dialogue about the New York Yankees and their relative merits uh the reality is that it's public session is a time for the public to express matters of that may be of a concern to them it doesn't necessarily have any Nexus to the activities of this board of education to the extent that someone is up there and obviously you give five minutes of of leeway to someone um there is a certain amount of yes you have a freedom of expression and you have the freedom of speech um but at some point you're stopping and and curtailing the business of this body and there is a line to be drawn there um it's a slippery slope and it's a dangerous place to go which is why the default normally is you give somebody five minutes if they want to talk about why the Yankees stink and they're not in the playoffs okay is it a useful um exercise is it a waste of the time of of this body and the members of the public that want to see the discourse that occurs on this di days perhaps um there in lies the rub um if someone gets up and starts spewing hate speech um or endorsing um you know politically incendiary dialogue um I believe that that there is a line to be drawn I do and if it gets me in trouble so be it that also includes board members as well so of course so your ability to have protected speech and the Public's ability to have protected speech are the same it's the same First Amendment you have the right to say what you want within limits of good decorum and and and you know not becoming embroiled in um you know personal or vindictive or defamatory orialis condu that's not protected speech thank you um but the fact is that it is something that you we should be discussing but members of of the board don't have greater rights than members of the public they do not hey anyone else okay uh Mr brunak thank you Mr President I want to thank Miss fan miss pul and miss hon fantastic presentation before congrats to the students and employees of the month I also want to I actually attended the homecoming game while the result was not what I wanted to uh Clifton got smacked around a little bit unfortunately it's wonderful to see

commissioner comments and it looks like Mr Paris is first today thank you president Smith um concerning the augmentative and Alternate communication um presentation we saw today just wanted to thank the staff for that presentation and even more so uh that Henry was here so we can see see it in action it was it was really very wonderful and heartwarming uh congratulations to the students of the month uh and to the employees of the months uh thank you Jada for your report and uh also for the uh insights uh from from the student body we will uh definitely discuss those um I guess the only other thing I have is a public service announcement uh on Sunday this Sunday October 22nd at 2 p.m.

um again congratulations to our Montreal team like commissioner obra I was a in not part of it Mr van is a big reason why I wanted to go to law school as well as Mr Gonzalez um thank you again to school 17 for also inviting me to go um up and re for Hispanic Heritage Month things like this you know it makes you feel seen you know especially coming from me you know growing up I didn't really see many people in the same positions I'm in right now you know going back and walking in Miss Gorski and I some stud like hey I know him hey I know hey that's Richie so you know honestly for me that put a big smile on my face as well as them um also special shout out for the mon team as well for going to Harvard um I know they're going to be in Chicago in a few weeks so that's going to be a great celebration for them I quickly want to address the teacher shortage you know I work in highed that's what I do on a day-to-day um basis it's hard there's not a lot of students who want to be teachers and it's a hard thing you have to complete so many things just to be a standardized teacher license and then let's say you want to go with that alt route the alt route you need at least a 3.0 minimum GPA you need to pass the core then if you don't pass a core you still got to take it then you got to take practice to and then after that you obtain a c then after that finally you can do 50 hours of service then after that you can get a job then maybe even 350 hours that's if you get lucky I think right now the passing is four out of 10 so it's extremely hard to find teacher candidates who are qualified in doing this I do this on day-to-day work uh with Federal districts um down in South Jersey Central Jersey so it's really hard to do um I know we're doing a great job right now some of the mlus that we have with ftuu Felicia Monclair Rollin so I want to give round Applause to our Administration for doing that because honestly it's going to be really hard in the future to get more teacher candidat as it was explained before we didn't have doctors 10 years ago 20 years ago shorter on lawyers now it's it's teachers all right so my recommendation for anyone who wants to be a teacher wants to get you know paid well some districts are paying a lot of money for students to actually go on the to actually go to school um get their credits and they get paid for by the district in order to come back and be a teacher there I know we're doing something like that here as well so if you want to be a teacher please sign up for one of those programs thank you thank you Dr Danny uh yes I want to say thank you to all the speakers and you know happy AAC month and it was really so nice to see Henry and just um The Joy on his face because you know he was communicating I mean he he was just so so cute and just um like I said that just the joy was just so infectious um thank you to all the staff who work with all our students and make things possible like what we saw with Henry um congratulations to all the students and employees of the month it was really so nice to see all the colleagues come out and to support the award recipients um thank you to Al Elias and Jada for expressing your concerns we actually did look um we discussed the virtual option at the Education meeting before um we actually instituted it and um I do remember going onto the website seeing uh where the teachers would come from and I mean you know again it it it wasn't perfect but it was a solution as to just maybe you know having a substitute in in or you know the the solutions were not great um as you had stated Elias um but definitely we can look in um at the education committee look at it again um to see now that it has been instituted um you know what we can do and it wasn't meant to be a long-term solution it was just meant to be something that would be temporary and and possibly um you know something that would work better than other options um and you know to piggy back back a little bit of what Mr um you know commissioner Mahia said and um Miss Lama that um it's not just uh you know like what you said which is the barriers of the education program but you know the former um Governor you know what you know Chris Christie I mean what what he really did um and then the media jumping on top of that and then the attacks on teachers I mean I know there's a lot of people who said that were going into the teacher education program when Chris Christie did what he did um they said well why would I want to do that why would I want to go into the profession that everybody's attacking and you know um it's so unstable with like you know the possibility that you know you promised a pension and then um everything changes and so I think that um you know I know that during that time uh many people just decided to drop out of the teacher education program and then with all the restrictions on things and I know they tried to alleviate like this whole portfolio thing and I know that they put in uh they said well retirees could come back okay but retirees left for reasons you know and then to come back with all the new technology changes a lot of them say it's just you know it's it's not worth it so hiring people to come back who were I I never take my minutes okay um just you know hiring people who um you know have um retired and now to come back into a setting with all this new educational technology isn't going to work and I've heard the legislators talk about that when I've attended words but um you know so it's just a very big uh issue is um the you know the teacher shortage but again as we heard Clifton is trying to do the best that they can in this situation to try to alleviate some of that um so that's great and then I just want to say May the children have a safe and happy Halloween as we will not be here for Halloween so enjoy but stay safe thank you very much thank you I am uh Mr Mia echoing on the the game uh for the soccer uh County finals for the boys is at 3:30 on Saturday at the stadium not at the U up at the high school field it be at the stadium we wish uh wish them well in all of our um all of our programs um we mentioned our our football you know football uh Friday Night Football always is a um a bring together uh for your district and um I hope that people will continue to come out and not only support uh the football team but uh our tremendous band uh who who does a phenomenal job of representing us and making us proud um always doing a great job Mr stepneski and his crew um do a wonderful job and some people had said to me well the band band looks smaller than it used to be yeah maybe down in some numbers but it doesn't change the greatness of them they are um a tremendous uh group as well as our cheerleaders uh that perform each and every game so um please come out and support uh any way that you can uh for our uh wonderful activities that our students are involved in um as we mentioned the mock trial uh is going to uh um uh a session um totally 100% support them and I believe our um robotics uh team is uh going to be performing in uh December December I believe is their next uh their next performance so uh there are so many activities going on for our students and um I I just you know you can't you can't tell people you know how they're going to come up and and say or what they say um I just ask everyone you saw this evening on on uh a young boy who was so happy and delighted to show you what he has learned and how far he has come along and seeing him smile and clap and it just makes everything that we do as board members uh worthwhile and you know I I just ask the community we have a we have a great school system and What Makes Us greater is the people and the students The Faculty Administration and the public and I just hope going forward that it seems people think that the opportunity to come to the microphone is to um come with bad things or to talk down about things um I just ask maybe maybe come to the microphone or um say what's good about our town say what's good about our district say what's working um this board tries and continues to try to improve our district to improve the educational system for our kids we do it on a volunteer basis so we're we're trying we're working but there's a lot of good things happening and I just wish people would come and Center on the good things instead of the negative yeah at times it's it's we have to be brought to task sometimes on things and then we need to improve on them but I I watched uh one board meeting um I can't remember the town in Central Jersey and um their their public session first of all was tremendously quick so I guess either their residents aren't interested in it but the the four people that got up were just praising you know uh uh my daughter was doing so poorly in in math and the teacher got them some uh tutoring help and her scores increased and like that's a positive thing to be talking about that's what we should be talking about Dr roosi and his team have worked so hard to bring our test scores up over the last four years that Dr robito has been here that's all that has happened but our test scores have gone up that should be something that's proclaimed shouted from the top hire an airplane and put the thing at the end of the airplane not harping on the negatives all the time why we have a great school system and if you don't see that I think you need to come and and take a a look or call the superintendent's office and ask if you could go go tour a a school with the superintendent and see our programs see things happening see when chewy walks into a room how the tension and the the the smiles and the laughter and the enjoyment of those kids that in itself I'd be at this microphone all the time saying thank you Clifton what a great addition you did here for helping our kids and helping education no but we we come with all the negative all the time and may you know maybe that's who wants to be a teacher in a district where there what we keep doing is talking about the negatives I value teachers I value the work that they do and some people just don't do it they don't do it for a paycheck yes we all have to live that's obvious but they do it because of the pride they put in in what they do and seeing the accomplishments of what they do and seeing a kid I I always enjoyed when I taught seeing a kid from kindergarten first grade and then graduate at 8th grade and they come up and say thank you I can't believe we even made it here that's what makes it all worthwhile and maybe I'm biased I'm I'm on the board and maybe I'm biased but you know what I I think this board does tremendous things and we do it together no one can sit up here and run this District by themselves or or try to no to run it by themselves you can't Dr roosi knows that he can't without his team that's where we came up with the one Clifton yes and are times that things get altered a little bit and we we have to bring it back to task yes but not to put a district down not to put things are progressing in such a positive way I maybe I'm a different thinker but I just would think people would be coming and saying these are the great things that Clifton's doing can you can you continue to work to bring more great things into our district and here's some suggestions we have that's what makes a school district move forward for years this board talked about bringing security specialists in and everyone was a little worried on how that was going to work out we have some of the best and dedicated security people and again they could be going elsewhere for this work they could be going into a profession and making more money but they don't because they care about kids so while I wish I had a magic wand like the rest of my colleagues to give to give teachers and staff all the money that they deserve this board tries their very best to be able to do that and also not kill the taxpayer and that's I have to admit to you everybody and I I think my board members would agree that that is a very difficult task as a board member because if you believe in your staff you think you should back them up with rewarding you know giving them a proper salary but in the same token the taxpayers come to you and say well what are you doing this board has to come to that Medium to come into that agreement and I think over the last few years and I'm so thinking positive on the negotiations coming up that we're going to achieve that and people see what good is happening in Clifton they're going to come and want to work in Clifton and it's our job all of our job to keep them here to make them be proud to say that they work in Clifton I don't know and I can't speak for the people that won these employees of the month tonight but Mr uh bill was it Bill he was just the when he said to me he says he said thank you so much I never thought this would ever happen gosh people that's positive here's an employee who takes pride in his work and works every day and pride proud of his school and his the the faculty and staff that came out to support him tonight was remarkable I was floored by it so my board doesn't want me to speak all night so I'm not going to but anyhow I asked you four years ago three years ago Dr robot toi came in or even one year ago is the Clifton School District better than it was three years ago a year ago ask yourselves that question and again maybe I'm biased but I sure think it has we have work to do continue to do and we will continue to do that but I will always if I'm on this board will always keep students and staff as well as the taxpayer but students and staff the main reason why I'm here the main reason why I give my time the board is going U sorry I I forgot about uh new business yes Miss bord yeah I emailed the superintendent yourself and uh Miss Danny if we could have a legal opinion on what is I sent it to him yeah I have it oh can you read it out loud because no not okay all right I mean no not you all right so can you give it to every board member so they thank you thank you doesn't matter we could do it now yeah we can do it which one is it the resolution yeah oh you're going to read it right sure okay um a walk-on resolution um dealing with a a grievance that was filed whereas the Clifton Board of Education has received the Clifton Education Association grievance number 20232 whereas the board has discussed the merits of the grievance in executive session now there be resolved that the clist Board of Education hereby denies the grievance as submitted for the reason set forth in the superintendent's denial and no further action shall be taken in response to this grievance further resolve that this resolution be communicated to the parties involved and filed accordingly dated today October 19 2023 there needs to be a motion please motion by Mr abrao second second by

uh it's probably the last time you'll see a free outdoor concert this year because it gets pretty cold out in Clifton uh so it's at Clifton City whole grounds the community ban is having a free outdoor concert bring a chair bring a blanket uh starts at 2m on Sunday thank you thank you uh Mr cago thank you president Smith um so um I had the privilege of uh speaking to students at school 17 to fourth grade classes in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month um it was it was awesome I always love doing that the kids always enjoy um guest speakers and people coming in to visit with them so um principal zagorski uh assistant principal Matos the teachers were Miss HEC Mr Falco uh Miss Vargas and Miss McColly and uh so thank you to them and to all the students they had um kind of Latin American uh geography history um displays that they did there was a big map that first graders did that was incredibly impressive there were um books and it was just it was a great time and I I really appreciate them um uh principal zagorski taught my older son Anthony Jr and Miss heck taught my son Matthew so at school 17 so it was good to see them uh again thank you to Henry for teaching us about augmentative alternative communication he was amazing um full of energy uh also I want to thank the students from school 17 they sent thank yous and that's awesome it really um uh when I see um all the students and you go there and you experience it it's just very inspiring uh congrats to all the employees of the months and the students of the months thank you very much to the parents and to the co-workers Who come out and support them that's very important to show them how uh much you appreciate them and how important these things are um and uh oh thank you to miss Ray for her idea of the employee of the month and the ideas can come from anywhere they don't come just from up here um but yeah that's it thank you one Clifton have a good night okay uh Mr Auber jao thanks Smith I'm going to Echo my sentiments it's great Henry uh students like Henry for the bo meeting coming for a month uh thanks to Henry for joining us tonight this as mentioned this is what clipon education is about it's how we can better the district students should always be the first priority and that is all because of staff and Personnel we have in the classroom and our schools and you know the families at home that can work with uh day in and day out to make sure the students education and perspective learning is not just stopping at the door of the school building but also at home uh one thing that kind of irked me a little bit was um I'm mention her last name because she read it for the public Miss man's daughter uh in regards the asthma attack um we've talked about parents coming to the podium and voicing their concerns this is one um I want to learn more about this and understand why this was denied I get it's Administration and superintendent day-to-day operations but when you have a pediatrician Hack and Sack medical you know supporting her request I know there's always a reason why things happen but when parents come to the podium to speak we as board members must listen understand the frustration and why they're questioning the situation so when it comes to a public portion like this and they're frustrated and this is where they're coming to because they feel that they're being shunned away or door shut and again I'm not saying administrations do that no disrespect to Administration but when that's how they feel I think there should be some sort of um reasoning of what you know there's always two sides to the story and I just want to learn more about that uh allias and Jada the national teacher shortage is a problem six7 years ago we had a nurse shortage 10 12 years ago we had a doctor shortage um it's a long-term issue that we have to tackle in education programs and Partnerships with colleges institutions to hire more teachers is a big step that this district has taken over the years and tonight was an example on our board agenda with the Roman University uh studying education and being able to uh transition into a a level of you know K12 learning and understanding and teaching this is what this is how we get out of it unfortunately steps such as approving substitutes on board of agenda um is a temporary solution it's a Band-Aid I don't want to call it a Band-Aid but it is uh it's not a long-term solution um I questioned I spoke to the superintendent about certain aspects of of long-term subs and subs in general and he has mentioned to me that there's a plan in place uh and I trust him for that you know he's a great leader a great CEO for this district and I'm sure working as Lama mentioned that they've been talking together about this there's a plan in place and I'm I'm just I I'm hopeful to see it uh in regards to our pair of professionals we took one step for full-time last year but the conversation needs to continue to see how we can do better to make sure those pair professionals are able to be with the students like Henry who are needed um and it's huge um I want to hear more from our students like like Elias I have two minutes thank you uh I want to hear students from like from our students who spoke today um to hear back the feedback on Virtual learning um due to the teacher shortage how can we do better what can we do better maybe this is something the education committee can take back and really understand and invite them uh or invite students to understand what their perspectives are um congratulates to all the honors uh honor tonight from our students and employees of the month from across the district once again this is what educ is about the phenomenal employees who have proven tonight that they made a g a great impact on students uh in this District congratulations to our team clubs and I'm an alumni mock trial team I'm proud of your accomplishments I've been following um I've stayed in touch with Mr vaner since I graduated high school and I he tells me via text where they are what they're doing and that's amazing um the 20-year reunion for class 2003 was last week and I met with my mock trial team uh Lauren Lauren and Tom and they are in the same boat so keep it up and last good luck to all the candidates on November 7th I really truly mean that um whoever is chosen and whoever comes and joins this this day um will be a great addition so good luck thank you Miss bford yes thank you to all the speakers that came out tonight uh thank uh congratulations to the students of the month it's distinguished employees Henry technology is a wonderful thing when it's used for good and now Henry has a way to communicate with his family and with others and it's just wonderful to see that advancement for for that for that child and others and I'm glad that our district was able to provide him what he needs I'd like to um call attention to what one of the speakers said about the literacy green card I'd like to discuss that further um I just want my fellow colleagues to know that I re I I was down in Trenton at 8:30 on Saturday morning for the New Jersey school boards Association legislative committee um I'm Dr robotzi I did send you the packet of the attachments if you can please just send that to the rest of the board there's a plethora of information in there that I can't even begin to go through um it's just it's a lot of information a lot of updates and um if you just send the um because there's other stuff about the committee meeting down in Atlantic City and I I don't I don't want to confuse anyone so I have a question about First Amendment rights okay and I'm I'm going to address this because tonight Mark no disrespect to you but it seems like this board flip-flopped we allow people to have um freedom of speech that sit on the DAT but we didn't allow a Community member to have it um and um um I would like to discuss this in executive session because there was several times on this day is when board members expressed their freedom of uh of speech regarding the First Amendment right um I I really didn't think it was appropriate that he was St stopped um and because I I feel like we don't not yet um I have a lot to say I don't want to lose my train of thought um because it happened once before here in Clifton that a person got up and spoke and then the tape was altered and then the ACLU got involved so I just want to bring that to your attention I'd like to discuss it um freedom of speech is allowed by people here on the Das and also in the back room uh June 28th 2021 I was persecuted for My Religion for 3528 seconds about my religious beliefs in executive session and I objected to it several times there's only SE a couple board members that were on the board still back in the day and I objected to it and nobody stopped it and it was about my religious beliefs a tape just recently came to me somebody in the room taped it and I have it I wish I would have had it two years ago because I would have brought it to my attorney and I would have filed suit against those people for violating my rights for about my religion so I I'm I'm going to urge this board I don't know what we're going to do but tonight I witness something that I am not proud of we should have let that man speak thank [Music] you okay address it now the tell so um Miss bord I I want to be very clear about something uh public participation under the open public meeting act uh is is been created for the purpose of allowing members of the community to voice concerns or in or of matters that may be of interest to them it is not a back and forth it is not a question and answer it is not an interrogation it is not uh to be um inflammatory freedom of speech is um a constitutionally protected right um I don't know what happened to you in 2017 I I I can't comment to that I will not I will not comment on that because it's just inappropriate um the gentleman who was speaking had every right in the world to say what he was saying right up until he made it personal to becoming an a conversation with a commissioner on this deas um that is not appropriate um he was I I thought I was fairly clear about the fact that he could continue and say what he wished um I wasn't trying to uh squelch or disenfranchise him in the exercise of his first amendment rights um he has a right to say what he wishes he does not have a right to seek to personalize attack uh somebody up on this day so to the extent that members of the public wish to have discussions uh about things that are important to them that is all fine and good if it crosses over a line and it is a subjective line Miss bord I I will freely admit that um but my role um as far as I see it at least um is to is to in part um protect the sanctity of of this meeting this meeting is to conduct the business of the Board of Education it is not to engage in a back and forth with members of the public they have a right to say what they wish to the extent that someone on this day as wishes to engage with a member of the public um that is the chair's decision frankly to decide since it's the board president who chairs this meeting who will elect to you know make a decision as to whether they'll will be a back and forth there was no back and forth there was about to be a back and forth I'm I'm I'm just saying I was trying to um maintain the decorum of this meeting okay so my question to you is disrespect right no no and and and I thank you for that because I'm sure we're going to get some flak on this because people up here are very liberal with what they they speak about there have been ethics charges is written on about this as well what I want to say is that we didn't have a board retreat this year we have three new members I would I'm requesting that we have a detailed discussion about the role with with public speaking with the First Amendment right what we are allowed and not allowed to hear and also what we're not allowed to say as well and I'm requesting that because I really think that we need it especially in light of what's going on in the in the public and um the world and after what witness T night because if you hadn't been here and or Maggie been here maybe I don't know if our previous attorney would have allowed it and I'm I'm I know I'm going to get flaked tomorrow morning from people because there is stuff going on on the other side of the street that people are complaining about people's rights being shut down so I wanted to just bring that to your awareness I want to make sure that we are we are not doing anything illegal as far as freedom of speech thank you so so let me be perfectly clear whatever is happening across the street I don't represent them M I represent you um and so I can't I'm not going to get engaged in that discourse number one number two I am happy to do whatever it is that the board wishes to do relative to a discussion and an understanding of of the um path through which we walk relative to the First Amendment and what your roles and and you know are in that and what the role of the public is in that okay thank you yes all right we yeah thank you I just really a discussion but okay I mean it's it's here now not in the back so um just want to be clear if someone comes up and talks about something that has absolutely nothing to do with the district nor students extreme example I go up and I talk about the New York Yankees all day long that is something that we would move on from while I would engage in the dialogue about the New York Yankees and their relative merits uh the reality is that it's public session is a time for the public to express matters of that may be of a concern to them it doesn't necessarily have any Nexus to the activities of this board of education to the extent that someone is up there and obviously you give five minutes of of leeway to someone um there is a certain amount of yes you have a freedom of expression and you have the freedom of speech um but at some point you're stopping and and curtailing the business of this body and there is a line to be drawn there um it's a slippery slope and it's a dangerous place to go which is why the default normally is you give somebody five minutes if they want to talk about why the Yankees stink and they're not in the playoffs okay is it a useful um exercise is it a waste of the time of of this body and the members of the public that want to see the discourse that occurs on this di days perhaps um there in lies the rub um if someone gets up and starts spewing hate speech um or endorsing um you know politically incendiary dialogue um I believe that that there is a line to be drawn I do and if it gets me in trouble so be it that also includes board members as well so of course so your ability to have protected speech and the Public's ability to have protected speech are the same it's the same First Amendment you have the right to say what you want within limits of good decorum and and and you know not becoming embroiled in um you know personal or vindictive or defamatory orialis condu that's not protected speech thank you um but the fact is that it is something that you we should be discussing but members of of the board don't have greater rights than members of the public they do not hey anyone else okay uh Mr brunak thank you Mr President I want to thank Miss fan miss pul and miss hon fantastic presentation before congrats to the students and

we beat Wayne Valley a couple nights ago so hopefully we see the same result this coming Saturday at 3:30 p.m.

tonight though no no not trying to figure that stuff out so you know we got all that stuff going on and we get a lot of our stats you hear it from Howie thank you to Howie once again and Sharky for doing everything that they do and coming in this year uh when we talk about the playoff teams a roxan is already in Breeze Central Breeze Moder day is also in I forgot to even talk about them they're in at 6 and two at the 2A level freeberg will be in Taylorville is four- four so they got a shot of getting in water Salem and Jersey I'll have a chance at getting in Eagles offensively though this year according to Howie we've got 109 points scored given up 176 and something that I thought was interesting six straight years with a shutout so is the Coach G in that that one win this season that oh yeah it was a shut out 42 nothing wasn't it it was he yeah man I didn't even think about it that way yeah so great job there by the Eagles defense holding that shut out too uh like I said earlier jerseys got a shot at getting in season finales I asked this question last week to hoe about senior night if he knew what the record was and he didn't know that one but he knows that coach owner is 10 and 12 in the final game of the season and last year the Eagles were beaten at home uh 0 to 19 I think last time we were here we won big I believe think two or three score game so the Eagles all together are three and2 in the series against the Jersey Panthers we got about nine minutes to go here in the aces wild pregame show so let's talk a little bit about these Jersey Panthers uh like I said coming in only three and five but you look at their linemen pretty big boys all the way across the line yeah like you said they're big number 22 is going to be the guy we kind of hone in on all night Aiden tally got 11 touchdowns on the year looks like he's going to be the running back got 139 attempts 197 19 what am I saying 917 yards nine touchdowns on the year um got a wide receiver 19 catches 334 yards only two touchdowns on the season so they're going to be a run heavy offense I know they run a lot of different formations but yeah they're big up front going to be a lot bigger than we are um so we're we're going to have to get in that back field maybe uh see a lot of blitzing tonight um and just try to be quicker than those biger B guys up front jerseys made their way out on the field 8:30 to go before kickoff so this is a little bit of an interesting layout here our coaches do not even come over into the Press Box area they have their own little perch if you will on our sideline so our coaches stay over there our boys are making their way out of a I'm going to call it a Fieldhouse on our sideline so they don't have to go to the school I don't even think the schoolers around here um so we're going to be facing our sideline tonight like I said Fieldhouse over there our boys are making their way out everyone's lining up for the national anthem and we'll run to a break while that Anthem is being played and when we come back we will have the opening kickoff and we will have week n football right after [Music] this [Music] he [Music] n welcome back ladies and gentlemen into the aces wild pregame show Alex schlimmer and Jared Germaine getting ready to bring you week nine football where the Eagles are going to try to leave on a high note this year where just under five minutes now till kickoff I think we're going to start a little early though based on how it looks with the teams getting ready to go onto the field Jared your three keys into this game tonight what are they uh my first one would be be if you're if you're a senior uh you know it's your last game ever you're not going to get in the playoff so uh just go out there and have fun with your guys a lot of these a lot of these seniors have been playing uh with these guys for 12 13 years almost um going back to Blue J days so that would be that that would be number one um second one is uh enjoy enjoy this night uh it's the last night of high school football uh for a lot of teams around the area um a lot of a lot of teams don't don't get to go to the playoffs which uh for us we're we're pretty known to go to the playoffs but uh not this season um and then I'd be my third one would uh be probably stop number 22 tonight uh they're going to they're going to run the ball a lot I want to see that D line and the linebackers make make a lot of tackles in the back field uh maybe see a defensive touchdown again defensive touchdown there you go a little scoop and score Hudson Bryant had one of those 5050 y already this year two weeks ago I think that national anthem was very good they have a massive trumpets man those trumpets don't may have me tearing up they got a big band here but they uh broke it down for the national anthem there might have only been about 15 kids playing but did a heck of a job there for the anthem Eagles are coming out now and they will be going from right to left they will be or we will be getting the ball on this opening kick Eagles are coming out all white tonight white tops white bottoms white helmets Jersey is going to have the white pants baby blue jerseys with a white helmet a lot of pink socks out there as it is still breast cancer awareness month we got Eagle football coming at you now as the opening kickoff is going to be caught by Dalton rainwater at the 15 he's trying to get by the left sideline he gets up to the 33 and a pretty good return there for the Eagles I still think it's hilarious looking over there at our sideline you see all our fans and you look up higher you see coach Baker and Coach stump at the very top oh that's awesome ball boy Matt gets the ball out to the officials the Eagles will be on the left hash like I said they will be going from our right to left they will be facing the scoreboard here in the first quarter we're going to start out trips to the right side jerseys showing two guys blitzing in the linebackers running back's going to be to our right side lot of movement going on on the defensive front bigley takes a snap throws it to the outside and it's going to be nearly intercepted just wanted a quick bubble route nothing going though incomplete second and 10 and I saw right whenever Mason vaguely uh took that snap there he looked to the sideline I don't even think he knew or anybody knew what the play was coach Horner was yelling bubble I could hear him with the headset on over here so that's that's never good usually have about a six to six to seven eight play schedule that you're going to be running those first couple drives two running backs on each side or one running back on each side of Mason now sniffer back to the right side it's going to be a handoff to jayon Nelson to the right side he's going to try to make a man miss he does he lowers the shoulder gets good six yards brings up a third and four Nelson On Carry tackled there by with a good push in the back there to Nelson we've seen that all season long too every time he hands off on that outside Zone gives his running back a a big old push in the back tell him to get going you're going to have third and three here now looks like we're going to go doubles to the left side here with pton Andrews as that sniffer back going to be the same formation just going to flip it balls on the right hash three down linemen two linebackers are playing like a defensive end it's going to be a fake handoff egley is going to keep it himself he's going to get to the right side he's going to dive for the first down at the 45 yd line and he moves the chains enough the first down lones on the play call there by coach Horner fak the hand off there on that outside Zone to this side Mason vaguely able to make a great read get up field first and 10 for the Eagles doubles this time ball still on the right hash one running back to the right side of Mason who's standing about six yards deep in the quarterback position it's going to be a pass once again he's looking to the left side it's going to be caught by Lucas reibling gains maybe two and it'll be second eight just a quick little Arrow Route out of Lucas by still positive yardage there second and we'll say eight now going to go trips to the right on that wide side of the field ball on the left hash only two Defenders really over on that side of the field one corner standing about six yards off it's going to be a roll out to the right side there's Denny he's going to make the sure-handed catch he's going to make a couple guys missed he's going to gain 10 first and 10 for the Eagles pass complete for first down that's pretty much his his go-to route right there on that roll out by Mason vagley Sam Danny just getting to that sideline little eight nyd sideline hitch there able to make a guy Miss get up field gaining about three or four extra yards pick up the first good drive here starting off by The Eagles Eagles are going to have a pistol back now standing behind vaguely linebackers creeping up once again going to be a handoff and nothing really going at all loss of one Logan Hicks kept his feet moving and stayed up but his forward progress was stopped no hole whatsoever for him to run into it seemed like that snap took a while to get back there too I feel like that's been a a theme this year though too we clap our hands and it's a half second before the ball Ball's getting snapped yeah and you have your lineman all the way in the back field that's part of the reason why we're uh scooting back all the time on that offensive line going to be sniffer back right running back left there's showing Blitz out of the right side he pulls back it's going to be a screen vaguely is trying to run around he's about 20 yards deep now throws it into the ground going to be intentional grounding at the 41 quarterback chased so it was a good drive starting with the intentional grounding it'll be a loss of down loss of from the 44 to the 41 to the other side so that's yards brings up a long intenal ground third down on the offense it's a 5yd PTY for the spot of foul lost down third down it's a 5y penalty on top of the spot of the foul too all right so that's going to be uh even longer then Ball's going to be at the 36 we got to get to the what 34 we got to get to the other 34 that's that's just I'll come back with it after this drive but man trips left Bunch going to be cover two out of the defense playing two safeties Corners even playing as a saf as well bagley's got running back to his right side is jce Nelson it's going to be a vertical to the right side he's got rainwater rainwater reaches up catches it first and 10 for the Eagles oh my goodness Dalton rainwater High pointed it makes the reception first and 10 Eagles get it down to the 26 yd line now from the spot of the ball the ball landed where we had to get the first down down there so great job by Mason to know where he's got to get the ball to R rainwater had to stop a little bit and kind of wait for the ball but like you said High pointed it good enough for Eagles first down wow going to be first and 10 doubles no there's going to be a tight end to the right side we're going to hand the ball off it's going to be Hicks to the right side nothing going tries to get up the middle and then bent it to the outside not sure why Logan comes off Jas Nelson comes on and that's something we've seen a lot from Logan this year not really known for playing running back last year but known as one of our bigger running backs so got to get him more going up field not trying to bounce it outside he doesn't have the speed that Jace has really and Jace can bend it to the outside and get away with it so second and 11 after the loss of one under 10 seconds on the play clock Eagles are just now getting onto the field trips to the left side running back left ball still on that right hash Figley takes a snap fakes the hand off there's three guys in the back field it's a screen it's caught by ring he's got the right side going to get tossed down after a gain of eight brings up a third and three but a pretty good run and pretty good play there for the Eagles yeah that was perfect execution there on that uh that screen we haven't seen it a lot this season but coach Horner's had that in his Playbook since you were even in Middle School probably so that was the Brandon prior specialty there that's what made him all state well one of the things that made him all state third and three here see what coach Horner wants to dial up going to have doubles to the left sniffer back right jerseys got everybody up in the box right now Eagles tried for the hard count 7 seconds on the play clock they're going to get it off it's going to be a run play with Nelson he gets to the 15 and oh no we got to the 16 that's all right we needed the we needed the oh man I don't know about that spot look like going to stay on the offense going to stay on the field here here comes a hard count if I have I'd run the same play Jersey's got seven guys I think in the Box we're going to run the same play and it's going to be enough for a first down good job there by Jace getting enough first and 10 Eagles inside the 15 yd line I thought he had it on that third down I don't know where they were spotting that ball but may maybe his knee was down onun the same play like you said had a seven or eight guys in the Box able to get it back to Nelson on the same same play and pick up the first down not first and goal yet ball at the 13 yd line Denny goes off reibling comes on 6:30 here in the first quarter yet Eagles having a pretty good drive sniffer back right two running backs on the back field with v he's going to hand the ball off it's going to be J Jace to the right side makes two men Miss first down runs through another first and goal from the two great run by Jace had dece backfield there simple hand off to Nelson again but this time on the outside Zone had lead blocker out there couldn't I think it was Hicks on that right side as that other running back great job getting up field making blocks Lin's guy got to change it to first down over there still says [Applause] fourth little confused oh now they're seeing it first and goal running back right sniffer back right doubles to the left side ball still on that right hash it's going to be a handoff to Jace he Dives for the End Zone touchdown [Music] Eagles good effort there by Jace looked like he got tripped up about the two and he just launched for the end zone cross the goal line touchdown Eagles we saw the same thing last week Alex first drive go down march down the field and score touchdown on your first drive of the game on a took every bit of six minutes off the clock 6 minutes and 20 seconds for the Eagles going 68 yards I believe thanks to the prayer from vaguely to rainwater on that sideline over there Keegan Thompson to do the kick in good snap good hold kick is up and it goes in between the uprights that'll take our score on that mny Maguire group scoreboard Columbia 7 jersey zero on a fantastic drive on the Eagles offense like you said takes a prayer sometimes but we got it and it was answered we would like to thank George Weber Chevrolet for donating $100 for the touchdowns this year as well so thank you to Weber Chevrolet and thank you to Mandy McGuire for bringing our scoreboard checks we're going to run to a commercial I'm hopefully going to kill this spider that's right behind the computer that is absolutely massive and we'll be back with the Eagles defense right after [Music] this [Music] welcome back ladies and gentlemen into week nine football where the Eagles lead this one 7 nothing after a great drive out of the offense Keegan Thompson set to kick it off and he sends it deep where it will be recovered at the N9 yd line coming right at us over here looks to be number 20 he's got the right sideline he's got a lot of room ahead of him and he gets absolutely smoked at the 50 out of Keegan Thompson but a good return there for Jersey place is rocking all of a [Music] sudden it's like wle when we had the speaker right above us this one's not too bad though they're right above us but at least they're up a little ways that's never good having field position start of Midfield so we'll see if our uh defense can lock in right here early who are we going to be watching here number four is a quarterback and 22 as the running back number 41 is a fullback and is an absolute unit Panthers are going to go under Center here eye formation doubles to the left side there it's going to turn around hand the ball off to number 22 runs over jacksson but that's all right there's another four or five eagles there to help make the tackle I believe it was led by by Denny and vaguely Pi up I understand why that kid's got a lot of yards it's going to take more than one guy to bring him down yeah that was just simple ISO play I was looking for number 41 on the roster that fullback but he's not on here looks every bit of I'd say six foot every bet a 260 yeah leading the way for that running back he's still going to be to the left side of the quarterback now who nope no he's going to be to the right they're going to be about four yards deep in shotgun pistol back is going to be number 22 doubles of the right side that's a long play to take from developing and it's only been gain of two on the carry up like the quarterback was standing there for a second or two before running back got to him could had a linebacker come and take that hand off there third and five now only gain of about two ball on the 45 after that great return for Jerseyville after the Eagles went up 7 nothing under 430 here in the first quarter quarterback under center it's going to be eye formation once again they're going to turn around hand the ball off to number 22 it's going to be Hicks making the tackle along with vagle and Thompson good job there by the Eagles making their assignments and taking on the running back right away Hudson Bryan even though he got blown up on that play coming off that left side D end had two kickout guys coming his way and was able to get a good hit on him good enough for linebackers to flow in bring up a fourth and short offense is going to stay on the field going to have that fullback as running back now fourth and three running back to the right side doubles I thought that was a false start everyone was moving before they're not going to call it it's going to be a quick little hitch route two number 20 going to be a gain of six first and 10 for the Panthers now just hitches across the board only three or four yards down field Lineback and Corners were playing I'd say six yards off the ball good enough for a first down clock still ticking under 320 now in this first quarter penalty flaged thrown behind the quarterback substitution on theen broke the huddle with 12 guyss on the field I love that announcement from the official let's hope he turns it off though can Blow That Whistle and blow our eardrums out he didn't turn it off no shot there is no shot you just called that I had a feeling it wasn't turned off I can't believe you just called that that is awesome I'm sure the People Back Home heard that one too gosh double same formation three down lineman for the Eagles four line linebackers looks like we're playing cover two it's going to be a handoff I believe that's number 41 and it is gain of [Music] three down he's only going to give two yards a Panthers second and 13 for the Panthers oh man that might have been the funniest thing of the Season better than music to our ears last week yeah that was that was funny but you called that it was really a later two running backs in the back field quarterback fumbles a snap a little bit able to roll out to his right side going to take a shot down field great play by Sam Denny wide receiver had Sam Denny be third down at 13 and he came in with his right hand able to knock it down great play there by the senior and he was playing safety on that other side of the field I think it was manto man there just laid out there and his guy ran look like a drag route to this sideline able to lay out and make a great play on the ball third and 13 now third and 13 Payton Andrews playing manto man over here with number 11 who goes the motion they're going to hand the ball off to him and he almost gets brought down in the back field it's going to be a gain of six Hudson was there just ran right underneath of them but still fourth and a long yard seven yards call it fourth and eight like I said in the pre pregame show having Hudson brght on that edge almost had a great play there on third down would have been fourth and long but fourth and eight now offense still on the field 140 now in this first quarter we're going to have a Timeout on the field I believe they were trying to go with a hard count therey and the Eagles didn't jump interesting setup on that one there number 11 if you can look up his stats real quick we'll see how much they target him it was pton Andrews was going to be over here with Logan Hicks so it looked like they were going to have one guy over the top and one guy underneath anything on their stats nothing no 11 on no 11 on we would like to thank all of our volunteers that come out and make this all possible uh first ones we're going to thank those is going to be the ones that do the broadcast in here with us unfortunately there's not enough room here for Josh tonight and I took him for comeing every week he's done a great job running the computers on road games and he runs the cameras whenever we're at home so thank you to Josh for doing that volunteering his time along with Mr Nickerson doing all the social media for the district but also all the production when we are at our home game so thank you to Mr ni Nickerson and Josh rushing for helping bring kchs to you Devil's are the right side sniffer back right running back right quarterbacks looking to the right he's going to throw it to number 22 who's hit instantly by Logan Hicks gain of absolutely nothing turnover on down for the Eagles defense and I think that was just simple manto man two simple roll out with Jerseyville quarterback looks like Hicks was just locked on to the running back out of the back field and that's what the quarterback wanted to do there great job by Hicks to form tackle out in open field great Play All Around by Hicks there break on the ball everything so the Eagles offense is going to take over 131 left on the game clock here in the first quarter had a great drive to start the game they're going to start at their own 40 ball on the left hash they're still moving from right to left sniffer back to the right side is Andrews two running backs they're going to hand the ball off to it's going to be Jace who's going to try to get to the original line of scrimmage but not able to as number nine was there and I can hear coach Horner yell in from here and I'm believing that he is talking to Payton is Payton still walking over to the sideline and I think we're setting up for a big Mason vagle pull here coach hor really loving these outside zones right now and at some point you're going to see Mason vagley pull and I'm saying he's going to have a big gain on one of them trips to the left side going to be two far out receivers are on top of each other at the hash running back to the right side faking a blitz they pull back it's going to be Slants across the middle there's got to be a little contact in the middle think the ball was going to be uncatchable though that's why no penalty flag was thrown I believe intended for built him in on a little slant route yeah third and 12 now for the Eagles 45 seconds in the first quarter no trips left here going to line up quick Jason Nelson the running back to the right now was just the choice route out of Jason Nelson out of the back field right when he was catching it kind of stumbled I think we can just take this to the quarter I think coach Kendall's trying to get the attention and he does and it looks like that's what the Eagles are going to do so a great drive for the offense on the first drive and a loss of four on Drive number two as we are under 54 seconds here in the first quarter so that'll do it after one Columbia leads at 7 nothing we're going to run to a break and we will be back with second quarter action from Jared right after [Music] this [Music] n [Music] welcome back ladies and gentlemen to second quarter action here in Jerseyville Jared's got the call here for the second quarter as Eagles are getting ready to punt on Fourth and 13 like vaguely back there to do the punning I think at at one point this season Alex he had more puning than than yards 100% going to have a great punt good bounce there wasn't really a lot of Hang Time kind of a l Drive goes out at the 25 going to be [Music] about 40 yard punt almost that ball totally went out about the 23 yard line by the way it did it made a hard R special thanks the 25 I feel like every time we've seen Mason kick left or right this year too it's always going out of bounds on this sideline almost every single time but good flip of field there Jerseyville offense back out on the field have doubles to the right looks like doubles to the left as well ball on the left hash he going to take the snap hand it off to 22 up the middle four or five white hats there on the tackle going to be a gain of about three maybe four second and seven we'll call it Brandon Jackson did a great job there guard was pulling and tried to come up towards him and Brandon just Sid stepped him there and was able to get in there with the tackle look like we're going to go doubles to the right with a tight end to the right full back right behind the quarterback and hand it off to running back again great form Tackle by Sam Denny be a gain of only two maybe one down Danny coming up from that safety position dropping his shoulder great hit right at the hips bring him down third and five hayen hero wasn't even in his stance there he was on his knees when the ball was hiked he was pointing at something ball on the left hash still third and five doubles formation running back standing to the right of the quarterback he's going to take the snap drop back the pass he's looking downfield doesn't see anyone open going to take off running up the middle of the field has to slide be two or three yards short of the first down got a punt gain of one I think you have to punt it here if you don't get it there you're basically giving the Columbia Eagles the ball inside the 35 are going to send out the punt team rebling will go back and retrieve it I think we are going to be helping Payton over whatever single receiver side he has Logan Hicks has been going out there as well so I think Logan's there to relieve a little pressure and help out there on the wide side of the field typically good snap it's going to be blocked it's going to be picked up by Hudson Bryant and he's going to just fall on it right at the 15 yd line I think that was Hudson that got in the back field and blocked it able to fall on it as well col and great speed off that that edge as I've been saying all night long no we're only in the second quarter but great job there by Hudson Bryant we've seen him two or three times already tonight on the defensive side of the ball getting that back field able to we're going Tempo here offense already out on the ball I think we're going trick play here yep watch out for number 11 tight end on the right side right here going to send the guy in motion that's going to be Jason Nelson he's going to go in motion to the right side he's going to fake it to him Sam Denny right wide open catches it out the five that is touchdown Sam Denny looked like that was 11 rebling line up at tight end but I got my wish I got my Denny touchdown touchdown masing vagle to Sam Denny there kind of a short ball Denny had to wait on it around the six six yd line able to catch it and walk into the end zone to make that Manny muire group scoreboard 13- nothing Keegan Thompson on for the extra point going to be a high snap whistle before the snap going to be a false start looks like on the Eagles F start under kicking team number one 5yd penalty have an untime down scoot him back reattempt this Pat you call it right away you called Circus too we both kind of knew what was coming we saw jayon motion too we saw that I think in week two at water with rebling and that was was successful as well second attempt for this Pat good snap good hold it's a wobbler and it's no good going to push it left score is going to to stay at 130 no SC 944 left in this first half like you said you wanted that Sam Denny touchdown and it was rbbl there earlier in the year so it was nice to uh nice to get your wish there out of the way and your first drive your first touch or second time calling it second touchdown so yeah look at me you should just do this for from now on nope I thought it was going to be a lot chillier than it is right now but no Breeze yeah no Breeze at all beautiful night here in Jerseyville parking lot is full and I like our setup that we got we're right outside the Press Box got our own little setup here nice little walking area Eagles up 13 nothing in this one going to be kicking off from left to right now in this second quarter on that pump block great job by the entire line I mean there was about four guys that could have got that block so great job by the Eagles getting back there Keegan Thompson on to do the kicking he's going to boot this one downfield going to be caught around the 15 yd line Looks like number 11's going to go up the middle try to bounce it out to the left nowhere to go gets back up to the 25 on the return tackled with a tackle first and 10 Panthers at the 25 yd line and haven't seen much from this Jerseyville offense yet Hudson Bryan on that play went after the lead blocker and cleared the way for the rest of the guys to come make a tackle he took that guy on one-on-one and put him on his [Music] butt hson Bryant the junor so big things coming for him next year hopefully had a good last three four weeks on that defensive end see if he can get in the back field again he's going to hand it off to the right it's going to be Keegan Thompson in on the tackle look like Bryant in there again the carry picks up three pick up three yards second and seven spot it about middle of the field towards the left hash Keegan did a great job his guard pulled and he just did a great job coming in the back field following him took him right to the football Jersey going in a huddle this time 13 nothing this might be our second two-score lead All Season I'd say only other one being East altonwood River going to hand it off to the running back once again number 22 going to make one guy Miss cut it back towards the middle of the field going to gain about 30 y going to be third three Denny going for the strip there as the running back was going down to the ground tried getting his hand in there it's kind of died down on the sideline over here Jerseyville looking for some momentum down 13 nothing early here going to have doubles running back on the right quarterback looking to the sidelines still getting a call from his coach 10 seconds on the play clock they're going to shift they're going to send 22 in motion he's going to line up as a receiver quarterback drops back to pass no one really open shifts to the left side going to throw it in the middle of the field and it's caught by number 10 right at Midfield going to be three eagles there to make a tackle great patience there by quarterback number four stay in the pocket kind of Bounce out of the pocket a little bit and then find himself in there again and fire the ball down field where number 10 was running simple dig route Keegan was about a step behind he got his hands on the quarterback just a step late there for the sack kept the drive going trips right sniffer back on the left looks like a tight end left too so different formation here quarterback's going to fake a hand off to a wide receiver going to drop back the pass going to tell a guy to go down try to get him open downfield but quarterback scrambles for about 13 pick up a first down moving those chains again good coverage out of the Eagles there deep but that's what happens when everyone runs a vert pretty much had couple post I think in there too but clears everybody out yeah and then when the quarterback tells you to run farther and you you're that defensive guy you see that going to flip the field here going to go empty gonna have trips to the left side doubles to that right going to send 22 in motion they're just going to hand it off to him simple Jacksonville gonna cut it up field great cut by 22 going to gain about eight he still had this sideline had a lot of room to get to the sideline but great job to put his left foot in the ground get up field Jerseyville putting together a great Drive looks like belman going to come out hobbled rebling going to come on to replace him as that other Corner last two plays getting a little I think there are some words being exchanged between the guys based on officials coming in in a hurry and how guys are reacting we'll see how that goes I have formation now a lot of different formations for this Columbia defense so far this week start penalty flag [Music] thrown snap I don't understand how it's that hard I don't understand how you you don't snap it when the qu back says hiker claps his hands like what are you waiting for I think sometimes in your mind especially if you're a lineman you got to get you got to get to your spot quicker if you know that that guy on the other side's a little faster than you so you try to get a little little Head Start we've seen it all season long from the Kansas City Chief's right tackle gosh darn he's gotten a little better the last four or five weeks but man those first three weeks it was every every play I formation here going to fake the hand off the 22 and herlick is in the back field almost sacks him quarterback's going to escape that just Chuck it all the way across field and it's going to be caught for a first down ball was in the air for 10 centuries Brandon Jackson was playing looked like hook to curl thereon first kind of got stuck in a dive there cuz the ball was still in the air while he Dove and wide receiver has the ball just fall fall in his arms there we've seen that a couple times this year too quarterbacks roll on the one side just chucking it up in the air all the way across the field quarterback was just falling away from the field at the 50 and the catch was made at the 26 hash opposite hash mark on the run too yeah going to hand it off the 22 to the right side there's herli again getting tally on the carry another lineman laying on top of him second down almost four yards there and 22 what we said in that pregame we've called his number a lot tonight they're riding on him right now 540 in the first half here if you look at this this formation here they got simple formation with a tight end left and then they have two sniffer backs standing right next to each other just going to hand it off to 22 and he's going to follow those two sniffer backs to that left side going to power through two or three guys they L able to make a tackle there is a flag thrown either a hold or a face mask usually in that area Eagles clapping looked like they're going to call it a hole no block in the back 10 yenal from the spot I was 0 for two on that one still second down is that Broadway that might be Jim Broadway down there I think it is second down and 15 for thether good little uh hopefully good omen there for the Eagles when drives are going hopefully that's a drive killer there that penalty for the blocking the back out of 61 alignment I guess he just got downfield a little too far and tried doing something too much it's going be trips right Bunch ball on the left hash and their bunches all the way on the right hash going to run a simple now route out to one of those wide receivers out there going to make vaguely Miss get back to the original line of scrimmage stays in bounds clock will run third and 10 450 left now in this first half great job by Mason there running up running the alleys and making that play I mean he's starting about 10 yards deep and to get in the back field right away and that quick did a great job of recognizing that and getting up there and that's another thing that we've said all year when we have when we run that trips Bunch that's the play that we've been I know that's the play we've been trying to get coach horer to run all year but he's thinking other things big third down and 10 here double tight end set with two wide receivers going to roll out to the left pressure by Hudson Bryant from that backside fumble looks like he's going to have another fumble [Music] recovery Hudson Bryan having himself a night Force fumble and a fumble recovery on the same play there for Hudson and then a block Punt and a fumble recovery what a night for number 21 the junior Columbia Eagle ball now first and 10 415 you taking a shot I think you do you're up 13 defense is playing well so I mean we say take a shot he'll run a draw up the middle now or something Eagles going to come out simple doubles looks like Nelson is the running back to vag's right he's going to take the snap going to fake the hand off and here what I here's what I was talking about Alex he's going to have one of these big runs going to gain 12 oh and then he fumbles it gain 15 picked up by Jerseyville and made two or three guys miss on that vaguely fighting for extra yards I think we saw that last week as well trying that swim move where he brings the ball up and that one got punched outan Jerseyville gets the ball right back right at the 35 and we've talked about that all year like you said that little swim move that he does doesn't really uh take care of the football too much there and always makes you nervous so what could have been a great first half there going to flip the field now Jersey's going to have empty trips to the right side they're just going to run a slant across the middle gain a seven Jackson brings him down after the catch on the catch and that's the play we've been setting up all night like I said all those outside zones and it was there that hole was gain a 20 yard yeah and he was still going fighting for extra yards so gain of six there for Jerseyville on that first down 335 left in the first half Eagles up 13-0 empty formation now trips to the left side doubles to the right looks like madx Stefan coming on a blitz quarterback's going to roll out to the left he's going to try to flip it Patrick Mahomes style and Keegan Thompson there with an interception so three plays three turnovers and this game is getting weird welcome to week n football yeah for real no wonder neither of these teams are going to the playoffs this season I don't know what the quarterback was seeing there but uh he didn't see Keegan Thompson who said thank you very much and picked it off and he almost fumbled whenever the receiver made the tackle he tried punching it out from behind so let break the curse take a knee right here on first down yeah 317 when the Eagles take over now at the Jersey 34 all right coming out and doubles again ball on this right hash see if coach horer wants to take another shot here hope he wants to run the ball and try to get the half he's going to hand it off to Nelson from right to left he's going to have a little space get all the way to that sideline going to bounce out of bounds right before the first down marker they might end up giving it to him it looks like they are great speed there by Jason Elon and that's what we expected to see out of Jace all year and I guess he just hasn't had the time to get out there yeah but I mean from the right hash running 10 yards to get the first down 11 officially as he got to the uh 24 yd line but it's a heck of a run right there out of the the young junor I believe or is he a sophomore this year I think he's a sophomore he's a sophomore this year yep sophomore going to send rebling in motion now oh my going vaguely did a whole spin there and then handed the ball off the HCK still going to gain four there maybe a new addition there by coach this week little slow to get get up after that one tries to walk it off now I got to fall to his knees Eagles lead this one 13-0 251 left in this first half we're going to take a break we'll be right back at you with the end of this first half right after this [Music] I [Music] welcome back to week nine action where the Eagles lead this one 13- nothing over the Jersey Panthers Joe Kish was the injured eagle and was made able to get off the field on his own power second and seven for the Eagles now going to put J Nelson has that sniffer back haven't seen that all season we're going to have doubles to the right you got to call a timeout that Columbia is going to have to call timeout maybe not like in the formation the defense was in up against the offense another crew that we have to thank is our Chang gang crew uh can't do it without them every week and Coach Warner we've talked about it before he doesn't even know who's over there he just knows that he's going to have four guys over there so uh guys like Alfie Kenny Matthews bre ster uh Scott STM they're all over there every week and um nobody or Brett Stephan hour I'm sorry said STM Brett stepanow is over there so thank you to those guys making it happen and Coach Warner has always said Thank you to them as well so without those volunteers things would be a little bit more difficult and they know what they're doing over there that's the cool part too you don't have to worry about moving too soon or they've been doing it long enough Eagles are going to have the same formation second and seven here doubles to the right doubles to the left I think there's a tight end to the left over there too if I'm not mistaken vley is going to get the snap drop back to pass he's going to take a shot to the endzone he's got rainwater looks like it's going to be [Applause] intercepted on interception so the last five plays you've had four turnovers first and for the Panthers got a winning ticket and with that it's going to be a Touchback as a play happen in the end zone and I like the chance that you take there with Coach Herer I mean you there's nothing wrong with it otherwise you're going to have a third and seven coming back you just wished that the ball would have been thrown about three yards farther and we know Mason's got a strong enough arm to get it there or get it out a little earlier so rain water doesn't have to wait on it right yeah but nonetheless it's going to be Panther football at the 20 yd line with 241 remaining in the first half big drive here for Jerseyville they get ball at half so if they can go down and score they do get ball at half quarterback's going to take the snap drop back the pass just a little screen pass and it's picked off another turnover number 73 looked like Lincoln Corbin with the interception and I don't know what is going on right now this might be one of the craziest games I've watch big boy getting his hands on the football and the team's letting him know it too over there they're all fired up around him we've seen that screen pass quarterback drops back and he the lineman let all the lineman go defensive lineman go right past him Lincoln corbman just standing there waiting for the ball so another turnover sets up Red Zone for the Eagles just like that 234 left now if you're coach hor run a little clock and try to get in the end zone and now you got a penalty FL flag so after first quarter with great flow looking like it's going to be a great clean game you have all this going on now a false start on the Eagles pushing back five now you have first and 15 you're going to have to call this I have a Fathead here I believe of Aiden Taylor the senior right in front of me so uh not seeing around it it's not a big head until it's a fat head that might be the most Wild three minutes that we've ever done though I'm not even lying that's got to be a record five turnovers in six plays what Deuce backfield for the Eagles sniffer back going to hand it off just outside Zone again to Jason Nelson going to show great speed another flag thrown in that back field most likely a hold their Block in the back on number one pton andw carry tackled by Gage Walker he was that lead blocker up in that sniffer back position and sometimes it's hard to get out there and make that block on that outside Zone you you got to almost get outside of him while he's already outside of youl first pton Andrew is not able to get all the way outside grabbed his jersey a little bit going to push him back a little more the typical first down in 20 something started at the 17 now we're at the 33 32 go and do that math 25 first and 25 we've got a Winer winner on the 5050 doubles formation going to have sniffer back to the left bringing Blitz here two linebackers blitzing they're going to get it out quick to jce Nelson over on that left side vaguely able to sense that pressure it's a good little play there by Mason like you said said he senses it and gets it out doesn't take a sack doesn't have a holding penalty nothing really going keeps the clock moving too that's another thing all year he's had all this pressure he's has no time to really stand in there um and throw the ball down field but throwing those quick little out routes like that I mean look you gain six yards there keep this drive alive if you don't get anything on that first down you're looking to Chuck Chuck the ball down field on these next two or three plays and now Eagles going to come out third or second down trips to the right side vaguely going to run a little screen pass again over here to rebling he's got a little bit of space going to get up field make a couple guy Miss he's going to get inside the 10 now down to the five going to pick up the first down great job by rebling after the catch getting up field getting vertical getting inside the 5 yd line great job there by the offensive lineman there was three blitzing linebackers there had one coming from up top down below and through the middle so did a great great job letting all those guys go and really set up well for that play good play call there for Coach Horner clock still ticking one minute now left in this first half we have two timeouts yep going to have jce Nelson right behind vagley likely going to be a handoff and that's what it is right up the middle Nelson going to lower his head going to maybe gain two Nelson on a carry thought he got down to the five on that previous play he was down at the seven now we're at the 5 yd line going to be a timeout for Columbia our second one of the half going to be second and goal from the five so you got 43 seconds to get into the end zone here one timeout left so you're going to take at least two shots I think you're going to go to the end zone here on both of them I don't think you need to really worry about wasting too much time well I think if you're coach Warner too over there if you run you can still run the ball here only on second down though um but you got to get back on the ball and maybe have a second play on that third down if you don't score and then if in that sense if you don't score on that third down that's whenever if it's incomplete or if you're tackled in bounds you can use that timeout and do whatever you want to do on fourth down so I'd have two plays drawn up here for Coach Herer on second and third down this would be nice where if you could tell Mason you let everyone else go out to the field you tell everyone hey we're going to run play a let them go and with Mason and say okay after a we're running B don't even let the guys look at me you got the play call on that one and set them up I mean it's 5 yards you got you got plays in your playbook they can get five yards I hope come out and doubles ball is on this right hash you got that left side of the field with a lot of room over there looks like buam in and rainwater at the top of the screen looks like they're just going to run a simple handoff run it again to jce Nelson under 40 seconds now Nelson on the carry gets to the four clock is going to tick you need to get on the ball Columbia just going to third down and go burn that final timeout now with 32 seconds left now are you throwing this one you got to tell Mason do not take a sack is you have you have to throw this now especially on third down fin timeout of the first half got the ball at the three yard line got lucky that they blew a quick whistle there the ball did come popping out there this almost goes back to uh I don't know if you watched that Giants game the other night whenever Tyrod Taylor was playing quarterback um for Daniel Jones but they had the ball inside the five um and with like 12 seconds left and they decided to run the ball and they had no timeouts and clock just ran out so I mean here you're almost in that same exact situation to where if you run the ball your guys got to know you got to get on the ball and run a play on fourth down and try to score before that clock Runs Out Jerseyville out already out on the field Columbia still in the Huddle on that sideline do you have enough room here to to run a roll out one of our roll out plays I mean there used to be four different options out of that play I don't know what he has now but only having a little bit of room and a lot of Defenders there that might be something that you think about a roll out he's better rolling out to to his right side and he's you're going into the boundary here so it'd be hard to roll out to that left side have to throw across the body we'll see what coach Horner wants to do here on this third down simple doubles formation going to get the snap Mason's going to keep it going to get stuffed right at the 5 yd line so this Co I'm looking at coach hor now and he's telling everybody to get on the ball but don't be hurried 20 seconds still got enough time looks like ref it's going to stop the clock official put the ball down at about the nine yd line it's actually going to go up to the six so that's almost an extra time out there for the Eagles still got plenty of time you're still 17 seconds now and everybody at the line fourth down here vaguely going to take the snap great rout by Jackson belam and that's touchdown Eagles what a route by Jackson ran a simple go for two whip route fake the Arrow Route chop your feet get right back inside that linebacker could not guard him on that play great job by Mason great throw and a great route like you said by ban for another Eagles touchdown that Manny Maguire group scoreboard now reads 190 we're going to just kick the extra point here try to make this 20 to nothing here in this first half vaguely on the hold Keegan Thompson on to do the kicking G to be a fake they snap it straight to Keegan Thompson he floats it up in the air and it's batted down and that was definitely a play that that you see when you're when you're one and seven Alex you're up 19 nothing and you're just trying to have a little fun with those seniors out there another touchdown for the Eagles to make this 190 that Manny McGuire group scoreboard with only 5.9 or 6 point 6.9 seconds to go here looking pretty good now 19 nothing's how the game ended last year hopefully Eagles are able to add a little bit more and get some more touchdowns in for that George Weber $100 so good first half here out of the Eagles that little two three minute oh my goodness five turnovers and six plays Alex that is that is insane only six seconds left in the first half most likely a squib here by Keegan Thompson nothing big two guys deep to return for Jerseyville looks like number 11 and can't see that other one simple squib kick going to be recovered by number nine rainwater all the way downfield making a tackle looks like Denny in there as well clock will run out and that will be the end of the first half Eagles great start to this one 190 leading the Jerseyville Panthers on the road here in week nine we will send it to a break real quick and we'll have your halftime show coming up right after [Music] this [Music] he [Music] he [Music] n [Music] it's you [Music] never [Music] he [Music] I [Music] yeah [Music] oh [Music] yeah [Music] yeah [Music] e [Music] welcome in to the Life Community Church halftime show welcome into the Life Community Church halftime show where the Eagles lead this one 190 and Jared we come into this game before we talk about the game that we got going on we're going to talk about all conference athletes at Columbia High School led by Boys golf Jimmy vandar Jacob Hall Kyle chud Charlie Steckler all of them had successful seasons and I believe they were on their way to a uh at a a pretty good run in the postseason as well cross country boys Ethan Hogan girls Carly Chambers and L Martin and girls golf Avery Arendale and SA AR Lane gang so those are all the cross or I'm sorry the All Conference honors boys soccer football and volleyball will all come out on nove November 2nd and we got a lot going on now as postseason coming around and we have the uh boys soccer team just won the or uh Regional Championship see how that played out yeah they had to go back yeah so Bo Went Out Boys always played at father mcy even have lights and they didn't have lights game got cancelled they had to come back and play again and uh whenever they came back to play again game went into overtime scoreless go into penalty kicks and the Eagles win it there so congratulations to them and volleyball will begin their Regional play here pretty soon I believe they were in freeberg last night I think that was last night did they win that game I don't know they did not sure I think it went to three games not sure who Victorious so boy soccer here they are in the Murphy's Boro sectional so they will be going on Saturday at 1:00 in Murphy's Boro this is kind of messed up going to make the two-hour trip to go play water blue Jabo Catholic so that's kind of unfortunate you got to drive two Murphy to play Jabo I believe the Eagles won that game earlier this season uh beating Jabo I think that was a home game for us so hopefully that's going to be the same way this year and I'm going to try to look real quick for the girls volleyball bracket and see what our volleyball team will be doing in the near future so Jared let's talk a little bit about this game while I'm looking here uh what a half by The Eagles yeah overall that first quarter had a great flow to it uh both side both teams had the ball marched down the field and uh Jerseyville not able to get in the end zone yet but put together a couple good drives just had a couple penalties and uh just just bad plays overall that uh they would have to go forward on Fourth and long or just punt the ball away um and on our offensive side of the ball um I'm really liking what I'm seeing from the offensive line um and Coach horer play calling has been really nice tonight uh getting a lot of different guys in action seeing Sam Denny uh hauling his first touchdown of the season um Jason Nelson looking great um and then that defensive line uh with Hudson Bryant on that outside he's been he's been the the MVP of the game so far block punt uh fumble recover two fumble recoveries now um so overall uh just a great job on this on this last game of the year where eagles are giving it their all uh I know we're not going to make it in the playoffs this season but give it their all on this last uh last final game before we go on that point volleyball is in 2A this year they will be playing on Tuesday night at Nashville they'll be playing the winner of Nashville in Sparta and they will likely be playing on Thursday for the Regional Championship and it'll likely be against mod day so doesn't get any easier there for the volleyball team with modern day so yeah Jared like you're saying there on a half that you know we've been saying all year we're 1 in seven you and I been talking but we don't feel like a one in seven team we've had a lot of opportunities slip away we've had a lot of you know you go from second and one on a very important drive to Third and 19 because of a bad snap or penalty or something happens and really we didn't let any of that happen tonight other than the uh the pat that we got blocked in the little thre minute incident we had down here inside the 30 and 20 I don't know I don't know what the heck was going on with both teams during that little three minute stin there but if nobody was listening we had five turnovers in six plays Jerseyville had a fumble and we gave it right back to it to them with a fumble and then Jerseyville through an interception then we threw an interception and then they ended up uh throwing another interception so five turnovers and six plays something I've never seen before um but 145 left here you're going to add the 3 minutes after that 145 is up of this halftime but overall been a good good overall game from the Eagles uh offense and defensive side of the ball another group of volunteers that we have to say thank you to is the guys up in the Press Box there's about five or six of them up there every week Patrick hles B Mike olenberger Matt vagley Kyle rainbolt Ryan Hicks uh I believe that is everyone I can't think anyone else off the top of my head sorry if I forgot you and uh then you go over to the filmers that the Eagles have week in and week out and that is led by Mr Chris wetzell and Mr TJ W are doing the the filming for us this year Mr w is about 20 ft higher than we are he's way up on the top tonight he had to come down he said I was feeling a woozy up there I think he's by himself I don't think there's anybody else yeah I think the Jerseyville coaches are just a floor above us and he's up on the roof so he's uh hope he's not afraid of heights up there and then you got TJ he sits down in the end zone typically with the little handheld down there so all the guys that make this possible we appreciate it we thank you for continuing to sport support the Eagles year in and year out 30 seconds now and then the three minutes will be added on on this halftime here sponsored by Life Community Church so Jared this second half Eagles will be kicking off think we got an opportunity to keep the goose egg up I think so our defensive line like I said with Hudson Bryant showing a lot of speed off that edge it's it's a lot of trouble for uh for offensive lines um when you know that a guy is quicker he's going to get in that back field um and create a lot of Havoc um with with your blocking scheme going on it opens up a lot of open spaces for uh guys like Sam Denny and Mason to Begley even guys like Keegan Thompson to slide in and make make great plays on the ball um just getting white hats to the football and that's what we've seen all night um every tackle on the defensive side of the ball there's been four or five white hats there so uh let's keep that up um and keep locking down number 22 he's probably getting only two three yards a carry when they go to him but um on big third down and fourth Downs our defensive line has been able to stand up tall um and get those stops and get the ball back in our offense's hands and that's why we're up 19-0 in this one coach Horner's out right now in the middle of the group talking with the wide receivers and quarterback Mason vagley so it'll be interesting to see what little adjustment right there the Eagles are always making adjustments I feel like uh coach Horner is always out there trying to think of something new and Coach Germaine he might be a defensive coach but he's pretty smart when it comes to offensive side of the football as well we are now under 3 minutes I believe they got it started 2 minutes to go left of stretching here in week nine see if Jared can get some scores from around the area we'll see if we can get that waterl freeberg score uh freeberg is already in waterl has to win to get in and then they're going to need a little luck I don't know if they'll be able to get enough luck to get in but we'll see if they're able to do that breeze Central is trying to pad their stats at Heron trying to win and get a little bit better seating roxan should go 9 and0 this year like we expected so we'll see what we're able to find out here on the Life Community Church halftime show as always let us know where you're listening from we haven't had anybody text in yet tonight so let us know shoot us a text comment on the page post and uh we'll see if we can get you a shout out Central leads Haren 2117 less than a minute and the half see Triad leetes Collinsville 20 to7 bber 3 waterl zero at the half wow barn burner there so if waterl wins it makes them eligible they're going to need a lot of help with the playoff points freeberg they're six and two correct so they're in no matter what both teams finishing up there jumping jacks coming together here Eagles will be kicking off from left to right which is going to be pretty big because if we do need to use the scoreboard at the end of the game at least we get to face it and know which way we're going we're going to run to one more break and when we come back we will bring you the third quarter right here on [Music] kchs [Music] he little Mis intro here on third Downs huh welcome back into kchs where the Eagles are getting ready to kick off with Keegan Thompson taking his steps back waiting on the game clock to get set white hat blows a whistle we're ready to go for third quarter action here is Keegan tease it up and kicks it off he's going to send it deep it's going to be returnable at about the 12 yd line they're going to go to the right side with the return man tries to cut back up the middle Cooper Wes there Along With Sam Denny to bring him down at the 33 yard line took a while for that play to take take hold so first and 10 here for Jerseyville as we were talking about in that halftime show number 22 who's got most of their yardage All Season looking pretty good tonight averaging about two or three yards per carry I'd say tonight going to start off in doubles and they're going to start off handed it off to him number 22 he's going to bounce it out to this left side lower his shoulder rebling there to push him out of bounds takes a big hit but able to stay on his feet it'll be a gain of about six call it second and four Hudson was there to make a tackle number 71 came out of nowhere they did a great job clearing him out of the way open up that hole going to go eye formation here with two wide receivers up top and they're going to ride with 22 again right up the middle great job by that defensive line maybe a gain of one t on the carry gets across 13 Thompson in on the tackle as well as two Hicks last ones to get up third and two we'll call it third and three great job there by Brandon Jackson lost his footing but was able to hang on just enough then was able to stand up and help make the tackle there at the end of the play quarterback going to go under Center again third and short here watch the ball they're going to run it with 22 again right up the middle he's going to have the first down only gain of about six still enough for the first down first down hick on the tackle Lincoln Corbin got there in the back field and strong run out of of 22 and he just kept carrying him across the first down line at the 46 yd line was able to get enough going to be doubles formation now ball still kind of on this left side of the field towards that left hash quarterback's going to hand it to 22 once again going to break two tackles gain of about five great job to get up field there Shake two guys off him keep his feet moving and looks like they're just going to ride with 22 this whole first drive already 1030 left now in this third quarter quarterback going to run under center now second and five be Flags thrown all over the field either a legal motion or a false start the St false start 28 on the offense 5 yd penalty still second down I was going to call it on the last play that he was moving a little early but they got him this time so second and nine we'll call it now a long nine I don't get the purpose of going under or going in a huddle and everyone's got quarterback going to go under Center again one W single wide receiver over here to the left two wide receivers up top looks like a tight end now to that right side they're going to play action fake hand off the 22 they're going to come to this side to number 11 he makes the catch at the 40 stiff arm Denny at the 20 he's at the 15 105 he's going to walk into the end zone touchdown [Applause] Jersey penalty flag on the play back here at the 37 yd line I think they might be calling a roughing the passer though that was a Crossing rout it looked like we saw it earlier roughing the penalty on the defense roughing the penalty that penal be assessed on the kickoff that's a first another try yeah he had everything jacked up there roughing the penalty regardless it's a touchdown for the Panthers and like I was saying earlier to attempt the extra point Denny made a great play on that wide receiver he was manto man with running the crossing route and was able to stick his left arm in there make a good play on the ball pretty much the same thing happened there at a Crossing route now another penalty flag most likely going to be an off sides looks like Jersey both fans happy you're not going to go for two at this point I mean I don't think you do you take the points always always take the points encroachment on your defense half the distance to the goal on time down so they're going to set up for the P once again ball at the looks like one and a half yard line going to have to be a fire call he's running over towards the Columbia sideline he's going to have a guy in the back of the end zone and that's going to be uh converted to point conversion there it was a high snap in the holder just decided to get up he is allowed to get up even though his knee's on the ground wanted to run left do a whole Lo leg to the right side throw to the back of the end zone is complete makes it 19 to8 now on that Mandy Maguire group scoreboard as the Panthers get within 11 945 left here in this third quarter we'll stay here with stay here with you as momentum is slowly changing Eagles now will get their first possession but great overall drive there by Jerseyville coming out of half yeah you can't take anything away from him right there they did what they had to do I mean it was a quick drive and uh on a play that Denny was right maybe about two steps behind um on that on the long reception there for the touchdown but he at least was in the vicinity got the police officer down here running the Jerseyville School flag let to see if our s SRO will do that next year and with that penalty too you're going to be kicking off from the Eagles 45 yd line you know what I do I'm going onside kick yeah you don't no matter what it's not going to be great field position for the Eagles got to kick it at least 10 yards so he would get to the 35 see what they decide to do here I would still kick a deep but last Game of the Year you got nothing to lose have a little fun in this last half yeah I think it's a be a pretty easy option this kid was just getting down and dirty right here on the stairs man and to kick it deep looks like it's going to go over Nelson's head Touchback for Jerseyville and here comes this Columbia offense who has had one of the best put together games this season I will say definitely by the offensive line Columbia has first and 10 at the 20 so Eagles will take over at the 20 select to take the ball in the middle of the field do you get an option on a Touchback I think so yeah going to have three running backs in the back field with vagle on this one rainwater the lone wide receiver they just going to run right the middle looks like Hicks and that gets blown up right away nothing really going there had two lead blockers for Hicks but a couple blitzing guys looks like number 41 the blitzing linebacker able to get in that back field and bring him down for a two yd loss 64 340 was coming in the middle of that hole right there and just kind of threw everything off from the start see what the Eagles are going to do now second and 13 after the loss going to have dece backfield now doubles to the right sniffer back right going to run this outside Zone to this side with Nelson he plants his foot early into that Turf and that one's going nowhere loss of one on that one third and 13 will call it Trenton Cox On The Tackle with only a minute a minute now off this clock on this drive trying to get a first down here not many plays on third and 13 not the start you wanted on the second half for the Eagles coach her and Coach G both of them thinking you had a good first half and you're going to come out and start like this a little rough here trips to the right vaguely going to roll to the right he's going to take a shot down field rebling doesn't know where the ball is found it about two yards right when he turned his shoulder there the ball was just floating in the air he couldn't really find it number 10 to safety able to go up and knock it down was a flag on the field though going to be roughing the passer going to be automatic first for the Eagles hey we'll take it first down I didn't see the roughing the passer did you I was watching the ball I was watching reing we'll take it though great play that's just a simple roll out what we've saw all all year and vaguely didn't really have the best throw there it was kind of a duck that was in the air ball was in the air for a while but safety able to knock it down and maybe it was because he got hit rough from the passer Hicks the running back now going to shift to the left side of vagley he's going to drop back the pass lots of time in the pocket he's going to start to run to his left going to cut it up field runs a guy over right at the 40 he's going to gain about six great run there by vagle after having some time in the pocket no one really opened downfield besides a tuck it and run great job there by Mason vagle to pick up six great job there by Logan Hicks as well stepping up Jackson had his hands full with a a blitzing guy coming over the top of him so Hicks was able to come up chip just enough to throw the blitzing backer momentum off doubles formation ball on that left hash now got this right side of the field lot of room to work he's going to fake the hand off the Hicks and vaguely he's got nowhere to go going to be a loss of two we'll call it third and five now Ethan caps on the tackle 720 and counting in this third quarter didn't like to see there uh I think that's Ben Simmons our right tackle I mean once he got beat he gave up I mean there was no questions asked he he put his head down and thought Oh I'm if Mason would have got through that Ben would have had no idea trips right now on this big third down going to fake the hand off quick little screen route to rebling he's going to make the catch make two or three guys miss not going to get to the first down maybe even gets back to the line of scrimmage no gain on the play bring up fourth down and five team will come out that just made my heart stop holy cow I wasn't ready for that so fourth and five punt team out now Jerseyville return man standing around the 28 yd line backing up toward the 25 vley is going to get the punt and it's going to be another low liner it's going to bounce at the 30 and he's going to pick it up great hit there by look like 21 Jones on the return out the 36 toan pick it up right off the bounce think the average hang time right now is about 84 seconds it's not in the air very long getting great bounces though luckily if we didn't get those bounces it'd be tough so flip the field now Jerseyville ball 61 left in this third quarter Eagles lead 19 to8 quarterback under Center for this one doubles to the right going to hand it straight up the middle he's going to bounce out to the left he's got a little bit of Rune number 22 is going to pick up about seven yeah and had a big hole up there in the middle I like what he saw on this left side but like you said great tackle out here on this uh on this left side he had a major hole there looked like a little bit of a counter and offens Al line did a good job Walling everyone off and he just he had his pick of where he wanted to go good good open field tackle there by Lucas rling fighting off the stock block and making the tackle and watching this 22 he's not really quick out in open field but he lowers his shoulder and he he's not afraid of contact looks like he's going to be the quarterback on this one looks like they're going to run simple Wildcat to the right side pretty much a sweet play forced back inside going to be short of the first I think Brandon Jackson like you said forced that back inside going to be third and a long one or short two or short two yeah we could call it that ball on the right hash here the Columbia fans a little bit over there you said we only had about 19 in like first quarter look at them a lot of them showed up sticking around for this week nine Eagles third and one here going to go I formation quarterback under Center almost a false start quarterback sneak looks like he's going to have the first down move the chains on that push I like the clock moving though 450 here and I mean the clock's definitely are friend even though there is still another full quarter but we'll let it keep rolling now even going to be a real tight formation here looking like on First and 10 ball around Midfield looks like around the 47 yd line going to go Deuce formation quick little a route out to this number 10 Again going to gain about seven or eight we call it nine bro's pass complete to Vogal now just a quick little Arrow Route out to the wide receiver just short the and he lined up almost right behind that left tackle quarterback got it out of his hands quick no chance he had the seams there that was fast second and one now might see the same play we saw earlier nope going to hand it off the 22 Mo over Keegan Thompson with the first down run going have the first down move the chains again 340 left now in this third quarter Eagles still leading 19 to8 Jerseyville now driving on their second Drive of this second half scoring a close to a 60 yard touchdown right out of right out of of the break doubles to the right sniffer to the right going to be a quick pitch to number 22 stiff arms Hicks gets to the sideline great run there great balance by 22 to fight with Logan Hicks second down and six on the way trying to get a first down but only gains about four it'll be second and six now number 22 is listed at 62 210 it's a big boy runs hard like I said he's not the quickest guy out on the field but you see those I can see those Cavs from here going to have two sniffer backs on the left side tight end left wide receiver all the way out to the left quarterback's going to take the snap and he drops it going to pick it back up and just has to scramble try to fight back to the line of scrimmage just gets back to it no gain going to be third and six now clock still on our side 220 now left in this third quarter big play there with him fumbling that snap they had another wall over here on the left side starting to get formed up so we'll take that fumble any day of the week little confusion here Columbia sideline trying to get into it over there on this third six going to have doubles formation 22 to the left of the quarterback going to be a penalty flag thrown to the St going to be another false start on the Panthers and that's kind of where they've been all night they get into good second and third down situations and then get themselves right back out of it with a penalty I think everyone of the defensive front seven for the Eagles a was calling that out before they actually threw the penalty flag they were all they saw it right away boy great to see the cheerleaders make the trip up to week nine up to Jerseyville now we got third and 12 here big play for the Eagles dece formation quarterback's going to drop back to pass going to fake the Arrow Route he runs a wheel route he's got number 10 rebling is going to have to catch up going to be intercepted intercepted is intercepted what a play by the eagle secondary Lucas rebling able to make a play on the ball and the ball pops up in the air and guess who's there number three Bley like you said that was a a ball that I think Lucas just threw his hand up there hoping it gotten away and he put his hand in the right spot at the right time Mason was there at the right time good play all the way around for the Eagles there and beautiful ball by the quarterback too I mean that that could have been a better ball throw and wide receiver tried to go up and get it but just a better Play All Around by the secondary and Lucas rebling and Mason vaguely coming through with that interception ball now inside the five so we got to go 95 yards to score here but what I like about this with 124 in the third quarter you can waste a lot of clock right here if you can say hey let's have let's have the best Drive of the season right here and win this game this would be it right here Eagles just going to run the ball on first down lose four going to lose yeah three or four yards back to the two yd line now Jason n flag tried getting out to this right Edge and that'll be half the distance to the goal if that's if that's a hold there well we don't have far to go t and now you got to be careful you cannot be holding in the end zone cuz that is a safety it would still be a two-score game though at least that's the block on the offense that penal is deined block results play I did not hear that at all second down and that's something I think they we saw we got called a lot on them this year I think I feel like only like weeks like one through three one through three maybe four though and we haven't really heard it since so now you have second or no still first down it says over there nope second they declined it okay so second down and 13 now from the two yd line vaguely is going to drop back to pass in his own End Zone he's going to throw it downfield to belam and just Chucks it up in the air going to be deflected and incomplete around the 40 yd Line pass knocked away Bruno brings up third down that ball went through the defender hands and actually I think kind of threw off Belt yeah I think it hit him almost in the shoulder pad after hit that Defender I don't know if coach Warner was wanting that there he I looked over at his reaction right away he had his hands up in the air so I don't know if he was thinking something different now you got third and 13 with the clock stopped now and if you don't get anything here you're going to be hoping you just get a punt off around Midfield yeah trips to the left here and he fumbles the snap he picks it back up still running in the end zone he's going to get it out the buil and he's got some room over on that eagle sideline he's he's going to turn on the Jets a little bit going to get to the 35 yd line and what went from a broken play is now a first down to for the Eagles that could have been really bad really fast Alex that could have been really bad you got to love high school students there I mean that uh that had disaster from the start my heart dropped bman did a great job though he just found a void and uh he was able warning against the offense there's no yard penalty it's just a warning he did a great job though finding an opening getting his hand up in the air and a good stalk block I don't know who the other receiver was out there did a great job though getting room for another 30 yard run afterwards so clock is ticking Columbia gets a sideline warning after that big play there on Third and long backed up to their own two going to just give the ball up the middle to Jason Nelson we've got to do something about our snaps yeah on that one he clapped and the ball wasn't even snapped for two seconds there by James going to be no gain there oh lost of two I thought he at least got back to the line of scrimmage most likely that was the last play of the third quarter 10 seconds left now in this third Eagles walking back to the sideline getting ready for this fourth quarter where your Eagles are leading 19 to8 on that Manny McGuire group scoreboard we got one more quarter of Columbia Eagle football coming right back at you trying to get this W here in Jerseyville we'll be right [Music] back [Music] welcome back ladies and gentlemen into week four or week nine action quarter four here in Jersey where the Eagles are leading it they got a second and 12 ahead of them going to have single receiver up top Deuce backfield going to hand the ball up right the right up the middle looks like again with just jce Nelson simple inside Zone maybe gain one almost back to the line of scrimmage pton Andrews did not move on that play I think when think he's supposed to pull on that one and be the lead blocker there for Jace cuz he's lined up on that right side I don't think he did though he was in the middle of the hole when Jace was trying to run through it third and 11 now douche backfield again pton Andrews the sniffer back to the right we're just going to run the same play no we're not fake the hand off and it's going to be intercepted Midfield number 10's going to have it at the 40 35 530 going to get chopped down right at the 30 there's a penalty flag most likely after the interception going to be a block in the back after the interception and there Mason with the fake handoff up the middle trying to get it the rebling on a deep poster out down the middle of the field and kind of just threw it over the head of him and that safety there to make a great play on the ball return it back to the 30 yd line but most likely coming back a little bit after that interception Block in the backal foul Blind Side block during the return that's a tough penalty he's going back to make a block and everything's change everything happen so fast after that change of possession it's 100% a safety call and I'm not opposed to that but I mean we had a guy there who could have made the tackle what are you supposed to do just let the guy make the tackle you got to go block them so tough I got called for one of those back in uh my senior year at Carlile man sometimes you just yeah like you said what do you want to do just let my guy tackle him or let that other guy just tackle my guy like no want to try to hit him so Jerseyville is going to take over makes things a little bit more interesting now yeah 11-point game still two possession still going to run the ball here with 22 he's going to break two three tackles gain of about five going to be second and five now and if you're Jerseyville pick up four yeah you're getting four or five yards a carry with 22 but you're going to have to score twice in 11 minutes might want to start throwing the ball a little more under 11 minutes now go I formation once again doubles to the right single receiver up to the left they're going to turn and hand it off to 22 again he's going to try to Bounce It Outside Keegan Thompson there with a great Pursuit not able to force him back in but there to push him out of bounds looks like he's going to be short of the first going to be third and one good job there by the Eagles flowing to the football out there and forcing them to be short see if we can make a big stop here that time Eagles went with four down linemen they've been altering three and four so we'll see what Coach G I'd imagine he's going to have four down linemen here bad snap right here he'll take it bad snap going to be either a low or a high snap going to be double formation number 22 is not your running back that's interesting looks like he is not even in the game is he they're going to hand it off to number nine it looks like haven't called his number all night look like 22 was almost a decoy out here playing wide receiver I didn't see him on the field number nine just needed a yard and got about 20 yards out of that and he there was nothing special on that play right there that was just straight up the middle yeah inside Zone there here douche back field now doubles to the right B on that left hash going to send 22 in motion on a little flare motion out this way they're just going to throw a little screen pass out to him see what he can do going to get up field a little bit Logan Hicks able to make first Contact till you have Mason vley Sam Denny pton Andrews Hudson Bryant second down three all out there to fly to the ball and make a tackle flag on the play flag on the play Logan's done a great job tonight and even most of the Season too making tackles in the open field and doing a great job the getting around be a 10 yeny from this foul to foul is of the Rune first down we got through it holding on the offense number 70 that time going to be a 10 yard penalty still first down first in about 16 we'll call it 15 clock will start I think we need a stop here I don't know our offense isn't clicking too well right now I would really like a stop or a long drive this is where it starts right here on First and 16 keep them in that second and third and long here see if we can get some pressure around the outside going to send nine in motion now who was lined up as the running back quarterback's going to drop back the pass throw the ball right down the middle of the field he's got 11 at the 20 yd line Falls at the 15 going to be a first down for Jerseyville and just a simple little slant route almost it turned into like a skinny post quarterback just threw the ball right over the the linebackers and first down Jersey they're still driving 920 left now about everything I just said was now gone after that play going to run the ball number nine again looks like 77 I think on that back side second down he's turned to his side can't really see yep 77 gain of two caught second and eight Brody Furlow there number 77 couldn't tell if it was Corbin 77 anyways you got trips right now we'll give it to both of them they're both over there number nine lined up as that left running back going to hand it right up the Middle with him he's going to bounce off two or three eagles gain about three short of the first down marker third down third and a long two that's going to be third and three we'll call it it's interesting here with them spreading the ball out so or the field out so much we only have six guys in the Box yeah could just keep running not our favorable numbers there number seven is's wanting something he's had his hands out for the last 8 seconds 22's been lining up as a slot receiver a couple times on this drive now he's going to line up as the main running back in I formation doubles to the right most likely going to be a hand off to 22 here right up the middle and that's what they're going to do on a little counter play right up the middle going to get stuffed close I think he's going to get it first line marker first down Panthers going to have the first down inside the 10 ball at the seven 740 remaining so now if you're Big Goal Line stand right here if you're the Eagles and if anything if you're the Eagles try to just waste as much time keep them out of the end zone for at least two to three plays two running backs in the back field about eight in the Box for the Eagles going to send a guy in motion quick slant route over here it's going to be dropped by number 11 would have caught it at the two if he did keep his hands on it was going to be close to that end zone Payton Andrews it's where you can't play that far off going to be shift on your off another penalty legal shift repeat second down first it was first down penalty there if you're pton right there the ball's on the six and you're playing six yards off repeat first down that's I mean you can't be six yards off in that situation yeah when they run that quick slant 13 yd line that's a great play call out of Jersey seeing that great job by the quarterback seeing that too if they're going to play that far off and with and with pton he's I feel like he's more one of those physical guys so I mean if you're in on inside the 5 yard line go up and be physical with him you have five yards to work with him and be physical till they can call a penalty on it going to send 22 in motion as a little flare screen out there going to be a wide receiver screen to this opposite side great hit by pton Andrews kind of got ran over there but pushes him out of bounds Jones on going be only a gain of about oneall near the 10 yd line Second down and goal clock still ticking does not get out of bounds there I thought he almost got out of bounds seven minutes in counting going to be second and goal from right outside the 10 right at the 11 yd line where Jerseyville needs a touchdown here to make it a one possession game field goal does not do that going to hand it right up the middle of 22 he tries to cut it right back up the middle gain of three going to get down to close the seven yd line be third down and goal a field goal will get you to eighto game so it would make it oh yeah yeah you're right you're right you're right I don't know I didn't see their kicker before the game but based on his kickoff performance he's done right watch out for this tight end to the right here number 11 lined up as the tight end 22 lined up as that ring back faked the hand off to him quarterback's going to run to the left side everybody in the fan section wants him to run it still running in the back field he's going to Chuck it into the end zone and it's going to be intercepted by Sam Denny and he's got a lot of field in front of him he's at the 30 he's at the 3540 45 he's going to get dragged down right around Midfield and the senior Sam Denny might have just sealed this one pass Intercept in the end with an inter reception in the end zone brought back to Midfield hey we just talked about how the quarterbacks did a great play on that slant across the middle that time not a very good play there great job there though by Sam Denny stepping in front and making that interception on a huge play for the Eagles right there and with 550 let's see if we can get this offense going and shut this game down and I think that that quarterback could have ran the ball in over there there was nobody accounting for him Jared you're pretty smart though that tight end on the right side tried coming number 11 you said watch him he tried coming across the field and that was the look that was the play they were that they wanted that's two times they've they've ran it tonight and guess who Sam Denny again second time knocking the ball down and quick on offense here we're just going to run simple outside Zone there to Jason Nelson but like I said that's the third time they've ran it they scored on it once almost scored on it again there uh and then on the first time they ran it uh Denny was able to run all the way across field with number 11 and knocked the ball out of his hands right here in front of us so great job there by Denny to be there two out of the three times and reward himself with an interception as well with a touchdown tonight clock's definitely our friend now 520 Mason should not be snapping this ball until there's about 5 Seconds to go on the play clock we're getting close to that right now going to take the snap going to hand it off to Nelson once again just trying to fight for extra yards is going to gain nothing there Tron Cox on the tackle for a loss going to lose five what' you say gain of neg four it's a gain of negative five there he said that a couple weeks ago you had me dying see a loss of about six or seven there going to be third and 13 Jerseyville is going to burn a timeout we'll stay with you only five minutes left in this one eagles with a two-core lead 19 to8 there was nothing going on that play from the start yeah I mean there headed rusher was there in blink of an eye great fan section here by Jerseyville tonight on this senior night it's turned into a little brisky night no wind Eagles up 19 to8 up 190 at half Jerseyville comes right out takes the ball all the way down the field scores goes for two makes it 198 long timeout here whose discretion is it as how long the timeout goes uh I guess the refs they might have a timer you see if you get that uh score on that freeberg waterl game again what's that sight that you use well I just use x but they used to have uh let's see Republic times has to have it on here third down and long for the Eagles trips to the left side running back left I'd imagine we're going to have a roll out left if I had to guess 26 nothing who uh reir nice I think trips to the left here Mason's going to roll out nothing really going for him look the pass and just wanted to run go the next play Ken Hut on the sack now it's fourth down here fourth down and I'm not sure how many timeouts Jerseyville has if they have two left I would think you want to burn one here there was absolutely nothing possible on that play that was blown up from the start and we even moved the running back up to be a sniffer back to make it an easier block on him and yep freeberg 26 water nothing it's going to end water's chances again that'll solidify freeberg and getting them in at six and three so vaguely lining up the punt here fourth and long and another low liner that's just going to bounce all the way to the 25 yd line and like you said not the greatest hang time but he's getting the best bounces tonight he didn't do the rugby punt at all tonight though I don't know if he just hasn't uh been practicing a regular punt but I mean that ball flipped the field pretty well for us there didn't look the prettiest but we keep getting bounces like that we'll stick with them so Jerseyville will take over first and 10 401 left in this season going to take over at the 25 yd line down 11 points going to need some points on this drive would have been nice to get some on that last one going to send 22 in motion going to send him on a little out route quarterback's going to roll out to the left side nothing really going for him going to try to flip it up like he did on that interception he's able to complete this one the 22 runs over two or three eagles on that sideline up able to get the 35 enough for Jerseyville first down great job by the defensive backs there on that play prior to obviously the catch happening did a great job passing off all the receivers onto one another I mean they had three different routes at three different levels and we covered every one of them so good job out of the defensive backs going to be doubles now quarterback drops back to pass once again he's going to roll out to this right side nothing going down field he's going to take off running now Hicks great containment there gain of four but whenever you're guarding that pass Hicks did a great job there to come up and make a play on the quarterback and have him only gain four Jerseyville right back on the ball Jerseyville is going quick doubles formation 22 is going to be this white right receiver on this side they're going to run all verticals here 22 ran a simple Drive route and this quarterback's got all day to throw grounding oh no he's out of the pocket terrible idea out of my mouth he couldn't have been farther out of the pocket no it wasn't too far cuz you had the ball in this hash no receivers in the area but feel like The Tackle Box changes it weekly yeah good job once again though out of the defensive backs so you got third and six here we'll call it minute off the clock during this drive 304 left now for Jerseyville quarterback drops back once again he's just going to Chuck it downfield over in belman's way and it's going to bounce off the hands of number 28 fall incomplete got his hands on the ball could have caught itman right there hip to hip the whole way going to be the biggest play of the game here on Fourth and six 257 left down see what kind of Defense Coach G drummed up here if you're Jersey do you take a timeout here to make sure I mean you have to have a first down here the ball game's over yep so do you try to I mean you're at 15 seconds I think I'd talk about it a little bit more in Call of timeout we're going to bring Brandon Jackson off bring rainwater in Play A Little Nickel here so rainwater going to play center field looks like belman going to drop back a little bit more now but why look at where he's standing right now he is 15 yard deep was seven we only need one guy deep yeah I don't know about that Jerseyville does burn a timeout going to have 256 left here to do a lot for the Panthers are down 11 I think that was their final timeout if not they might have one remaining I want to shirt got a t-shirt toss going on right now yeah I don't know you don't need to have two guys back deep do you play at the sticks I can go for that but not being 15 yards deep when you only got six yards needed well I think if your coach gerain you're just saying don't let anybody run past you right um rush we can give up we can give up a first down I'd say but just don't make sure nobody crushes your face and beat you down field that's that's the biggest thing here we're going to and we're having Keegan Thompson press him up top that's probably why we're going to play off a little bit so Keegan Thompson's locked up on that top receiver little 81 here thanks to Sam Herer reminded me last week going to send nine in motion he's going to drop back the pass a lot of pressure number five madx Stephan's going to have a sack and that's going to be close to the ending of the game madx stefen with a great Blitz there quarterback did not see him 34 able to bring him down for a loss on the play turnover on Downs Eagles football great job I just said we need to get a rush on this play that play before we really didn't have much of a rush great job though getting it this time now the unfortunate thing like I talked about being high school students everyone's all fired up they're running off the field we're on offense now Brothers Keegan Thompson running on offense right now we have a little trick play here for the Eagles Keegan a backup quarterback he's going to line up in that sniffer formation see what if coach Warner wants to have a little fun here with two minutes left he's just going to run simple inside Zone with Jason Nelson going to keep it nice and easy going to gain only two he's second and eight for the Eagles nothing special about that play just coming right at you and good little push at the end Keegan though is just going to be the that sniffer back I thought it was going to be a trick play but he's not afraid to put his head down and uh move some guys out of the way any more other people you need to thank I don't think so do I I don't think so I need to thank you I hope I don't forget being the great the greatest announcer there is that the Eagles have yeah that the Eagles have second and seven here just over two minutes remaining Mason waiting for that play clock to go down another simple run here again with jce Nelson gain of one under two minutes now going to be a third and six first down pretty much seals this one right here I think it would for sure I mean that's all you're needing to get right now you're going to have to run another play for sure at 100 seconds now just got to make sure you're holding on that ball Bo wouldn't that be something hold on that ball pety you're Watch Remember the Titans I've never seen seen the movie no I'm kidding I'm I was going to say how how you played football you ain't seen that movie same formation play clock under five now Mason takes the snap just going to hand it off once again third time in a row for Jason Nelson he's going to have that first down he's going to be close to it near that sideline Falls all the way back to the original line of scrimmage going to be yard short Maybe two be fourth down coach Herer going to keep the offense on the field I'd let this run all the way down and just take a timeout see what he does he's not up by the officials he's not going for it I just run the same play if you don't get it okay 45 seconds though so let this thing go yep 43 seconds 15 on the play clock fourth and three we'll call it so if you pick up first down here game is over if you don't clock will stop Mason's just going to get the snap and try to get it on his own he's going to get back to the line of scrimmage going to be short clock will stop at 25.1 pan take as the Columbia offense comes off the field for what might be the final time this season still got to be in your nickel here you're going to have bamman and rainwater back deep don't even need to go for an interception just knock it down again I don't know if we need to be 20 yards deep but well you know they're probably going to run either a little trick play something short little Hook and Ladder or they're just going to run Hail Mary I don't think quarterback arm is going to be strong enough to throw the ball 75 yards right now so probably a little trickery try to get out of bounds something quick just to get them maybe in field goal range just going to be a simple sweep to 22 and it's going to be look like Keegan Thompson tried to make the tackle going to be short of the first down looks like they're going to give it to him except the first down 10 seconds remaining and that might be the final play of the Season otherwise Columbia going to win this final game 19 to8 against the Jerseyville Panthers in this week N Action here in Jerseyville and I guess we'll stay here for a little postgame action Alex we'll stay here for the post game great job out of the Eagles defense um on a running back that was averaging or I don't know how many he was averaging he had 900 yards on the on the season though so the Eagles defense did a great job uh the senior running back was great the defense did what they needed to do I think we probably had four or five different uh different um turnovers um but all in all great night by the Eagles and I think probably our best game that we played maybe not the best game East Al we played pretty well but this one we played pretty good ball game yeah I think both sides of the ball uh other than that thre minute little concoction we had going on earlier there was a lot a lot of turnovers I think overall yeah this I think this was a cleaner game than East Alwood River um I think offensive line played the best game of the season uh I think uh defensive line played the best game of the season um Hudson Bryant my MVP of tonight um great job getting in the back field making it tough for those offensive linemen to get out there and block him but overall just a great job on both sides of the ball my other MVP is Sam Denny uh scoring his first touchdown of the year on that in that final game of the season so happy he could get in there score six good game out of the Eagles here coming away Victorious going to end the season two and seven couple plays away from I think maybe turning things around and having a different outcome on the year but we can't hit the rewind button and we're going to have to do what we have here so once again we need to shout out our senior players number one Payton Andrews Sam Denny Maddox stefen Lucas rbl Jackson bamman uh and we go down to Dalton rainwater Brandon Jackson Ben Simmons Shan horn Joe Kish and Hayden Hera I think there was 11 seniors there so thank you seniors yeah good job uh you did a great job coming out you know wasn't the season that you planned wasn't the season that you hoped for but you come out you leave Victorious you come out make an hourong Drive come up here and uh finish off your careers on the on the right path so good job to them as you see there on the on the screen thank you to all of the volunteers who like we talked about already they make everything possible they make this all run so can't do it with without them um it's been another fun year we'll look about think about doing it again next year so with all that being said thank you for everything everything thank you for another great season Eagles are going to finish the year Victorious 19 to8 go to 2- seven on the year and a team like I said in week two and three we had 60 yards of offense a lot of improvement all year long yeah we had a lot of uh young guys this season I know we're losing 11 seniors but um next year going to have a lot of returning starters uh a lot of freshman sophomore and juniors uh they got a lot of playing time this season so um got that first year Varsity experience um definitely going to miss all these seniors all 11 of them so look at in the next year you just hope I mean going two and seven that should motivate you uh going in the next year you don't want to have this feeling um after this season seeing these seniors um leave on a two and seven note you wish you could do more for him but um I mean going to the next year that should motivate you to to to work hard in the locker room um be good in school and just work hard every time you're at practice and around all your friends um and just go in the next season with a positive mindset I I don't know what working hard in the locker room is going to do for him I think working hard in the waight room that might that might do a little bit more for yeah I mean locker room that place stink so maybe they need to clean up a little bit all right with all that being said we appreciate you listening to us once again we'll bring it again next year uh in the 2024 season my name is Alex shmer appreciate do we'll see you all again next year thank you folks go Eagles baby

[Music] [Applause] [Music] w [Music] welcome in ladies and gentlemen to another edition of Columbia High School football right here on kchs we got the Eagles and the Panthers here tonight in week nine and it's a season that coming to an end Eagles are coming in at this game 1 and S jerseys coming in as well with a three and five record so the Eagles are going to try to salvage one thing here one last week Alex schmer and Jared Germaine with you in the aces wild pregame show Jared wonderful night here in Jersey yeah and we were talking on the way up how fast this year's gone we're already in week nine uh can't believe it's we're already here um I'm sure some of these fans are ready for the season to be over I mean it's been a been a rough one but um yeah like you said night nice night here tonight in Jerseyville um lot of fans still filing in senior night here in Jerseyville as well so um going to be a good one tonight senior night here we've got 15 seniors for the Panthers they just got done introducing them they have a brand new turf field this year I believe was the first year and pretty nice field little two-tone on the turf Panthers jersey Panthers are in the end zones and a little two-tone here on the numbers too kind of gives a little depth to the numbers so the Eagles are going to be on our left side warming up right now we got 22 minutes until kickoff uh talk about acus wild our pregame sponsor November 11th they have live music from 6:00 to 10 it's a Saturday uh Andrew dolly is the singer's name so head up on November 11th December 2nd they also have live music Noah Messi will be there and that is the night of the lighted Christmas parade so that's going to be a fun night um and like always they have their queen of hearts $9,700 in the pot so next week the fire department is upping the payouts with their stage three once it gets into that uh $10,000 mark thank you to um our pregame meal sponsor I believe the boys had Emos on the way up I can't remember it's usually something pretty quick and simple um just so they can get it and go and that was by MF pools and creep LLC Mark furo donated the meals tonight so thank you to mark furo for getting the meals for the boys here tonight on their trip to Jersey and Jared we're coming into a game that the Eagles once again had an opportunity to win in week eight against the uh Bree Central cougars had a chance to win and I think that score of 3313 was a little closer than what it it seems yeah started off with the ball had probably one of our best drives of the whole season went down and scored made it seven nothing early um and then we were kind of on our heels uh from that point um they really started running the ball a lot more um we really couldn't stop it they had a bunch of different formations that uh we couldn't really we couldn't really stop either so um I mean coming into theight we're definitely going to see a lot of different formations that Jerseyville runs kind of like the same thing that Central ran last week um but also congratulations I just remember Brian shorty that was his 100th win last week uh got giving them in the playoffs as well so always rooting for that team whenever they go to the playoffs it was every time you play Central it's always a battle and like you said that 33113 was not really what it looked like watching the game I mean we made kind of a comeback there at the end um but we were still down 20 but um overall um Central is pretty good team that play every year and usually the top of the conference so um just got to forget about that one and come in tonight and have fun in your last game of the year well the good thing is there's no pressure coming into tonight as the captains are going out now it's going to be Denny Jackson uh rainwater and Kish are going to be our captains for us so we'll see if we can watch that what's going on there but a little bit more about last week Jared in a game that like you said that first drive we ran the ball down down the field it seemed like and we kind of got away from that so it' be interested to see if coach orner has a game plan and sticks with it tonight and kind of you know running the ball has been our our key last couple weeks yeah especially in the beginning of the game uh just establishing the Run having your o line get comfortable um throughout the whole game It's always important that you establish the run in that first or second Drive um and that's what we did um then we started throwing the ball a little bit more uh which I I was kind of I was kind of befuddled by but um I mean Mason last week through 14 for 24 139 yards and had a touchdown um but then you had Sam Denny with six catches 48 yards rebling pitched in three catches for 13 yards and then rainwater uh with that big catch two for 60 yards so um I mean overall on the offensive side of the ball we've said it all year we got three running backs that we rotate always staying fresh um but we can also get the ball out to our four wide receivers that we got that can uh get out in open field make make plays Sam ddy the senior that uh coming off an injury I believe from last year and had himself he's been some we've talked about a little bit more and more as The Season's gone on so nice to see him getting in the to the lead there with the catches 6 for 48s not a bad night I mean you're averaging eight yards of reception there so uh interested to see if we will continue to use him tonight and we'll see how Jersey is going to defend him as well well and Sam Denny's a guy uh who started as a sophomore uh on the defensive side of the ball didn't really play much wide receiver um but this year he's really put himself as one of our top guys um on the outside uh on the outside basically so um I would really like to see him get in the end zone he hasn't scored yet this year he's I think our our only wide receiver that hasn't scored uh built him in rainwater and rebling have all got in the end zone so I'd like to see uh the senior Denny get in there and I'm sure that's something coach hner probably knows as well and I'm sure he'll be looking into it so we had 258 yards of offense for the Eagles last week you'll flip it over now on the defensive side of the football and Central pretty much did what they wanted I think we figured up they had 354 yards of offense off the top of my head I can't really remember but Sam Denny once again leading tackler 13 total tackles then you have Hicks with eight Mason vagley with eight total tackles Brandon jacks seven Keegan Thompson seven total tackles with one fumble return and uh Hudson Bryant six total tackles and watching that game last week Hudson was the smallest lineman hands down and it's every week he's that smallest lineman but he was going up against a right tackle last week that was 100 lbs heavier yeah in the last four or five weeks we started started to use him as that uh sort of a d end uh that'll put his hand in the grass um he's going to be smaller than a lot of those linemen like he said but um he's going to be a lot quicker than them and let him let him get in the back field um and trip some guys up then you have your linebackers throwing the ball uh that's always that's always a plus defensively like I said uh what they have on passing you got the sheet there in front of you maybe he threw 6 for 18 only 117 yards one touchdown but we just couldn't stop number two uh Kaden rocker's 26 carries 175 yards so uh it was pretty much gave the number two all night um and he pretty much took him to the promis land last week if you would have told me that he had 175 yards even you just telling me that right now I I didn't realize he had that many I knew he ran a lot but didn't realize that it was that many yards so when they had those it was like their Garden tackle when they were polling you had number eight 80 coming around there was a lot of lot of guys coming at you and you had to get out of the way and they would have like we we usually have the one sniffer back up they had two sniffer backs plus two running backs so they'd have basically three lead blockers for number two last week which we kind of had a hard time stopping well we're about 16 minutes away from kickoff we're going to go to a break real quick and whenever we come back we will talk about the conference schedule that we have coming up or not the conference schedule but everybody in our conference what they have in week nine and we will give you what we are expecting here in Jerseyville we will be back right after [Music] this [Music] n [Music] welcome back ladies and gentlemen into the aces wild pregame show Alex schummer and Jared Germaine coming to you with week nine and Jared we look at the kokia conference standings about what we expected them to be Roxanna ran the table they're eight and0 going uh we'll talk about who they're playing in a second they're 8-0 5-0 in the conference Breeze Central 6-2 4-1 freeberg 5 and3 3 and2 Salem 4- four 2 and three Columbia 1 and 7 1 and four and Wood River 0 and8 0 and five and when we talked at the beginning of the year besides us being in the uh what's that the five slot there pretty much what we expected yeah roxan and Central like we've said all year that was always going to be the two top teams in the c conference this season and then freeberg and Salem are those two teams that can always play with you um and can always pretty much make anything happen and then you see us there at the bottom with Wood River uh not not not a happy season for uh for either of those teams but um coming into week nine you got to try to stay positive and have fun in your last week let's talk a little bit about these teams and what they're going to be going up against Roxana coming in at 8-0 if they don't go 9 and0 tonight with a game against Marquette who's 1 and seven I would be completely shocked and you talk a little bit about Breeze Central they're going to play Heron Heron doesn't have the best record but I think what are they like four and four or something like that we think so but on a game like that I think they're at Heron too makes it even tougher yeah especially if you're four and four like water is tonight as well host and freeberg um got a couple couple games that that are pretty big try to get in the playoffs if you get that uh that fifth win of the Season get a better chance of getting in the playoffs you got to have enough playoff points of course but um everybody's always trying to get at least five wins on the season and they're and they're right there so Jersey or I'm sorry waterl they're an interesting one they're four and four uh freeberg is already in they got their five wins so they're already in they're going to have enough playoff points and they'll have the points but waterl though if they go five and four I don't know if they're going to have enough points to get in I mean obviously we're only giving them one win Jersey's going to give them hopefully only three wins Highland and Highland probably got them I'd say five or six this year I think six and one cm and triad probably only got one or two this year I'd say mosca didn't really get on much either so it's interesting to see what that game's going to bring Salem who do they play tonight do we have any idea Salem will be playing Charleston who's six and two I believe Salem is already in as well we'll see if we can oh yeah well they're four and four so they got to win tonight got to win tonight now this is an interesting game here though too with Jerseyville yes they are going to be if they would win they would be four and five but as many points as they have they might be able to get in at a at a very sneaky way of getting in you're going to have to go play one of the top teams in the state I'm sure but they have a shot at getting in so going to be interesting it's always interesting in week n and we kind of laughed and joked you know this is always a fun night because coach Germain is an animal at this stuff he knows who they're playing the night before every even last week sometimes uh week seven week eight he's already eyeing up teams that we're going to be playing in the playoffs and usually the game after uh week nine he's stays up till 3: 4 in the morning figuring out who we're going to play and he usually gets it right so no do no staying up till 4: a.m.

bids were read publicly opened in red allowed for plank Junior High rtu replacement the lowest B base bid was submitted by hel Mechanical group of Freeport the second lowest bid was submitted by mg mechanical Contracting in of Woodstock Illinois is at this time the administration recommends that the Board of Education approve the second lowest bidder and mg mechanical at the sum of $3,494 [Music] th000 the reasoning behind this recommendation is that hell mechanical is currently involved with boilers and chers projects at asigo High School asgo East and we've experienced significant delays from from the original complet timeline in awarding the second lowest bidder we expect this project to be completed in a time to begin the 2024 2025 school year that concludes any questions thank you Bill what I would like to add is that in the future before we go out to bed what we plan to do is uh add a process to it where we actually uh write a memo uh shared with the board that um that lady out the justification for a particular bid that we're going out for that lets the board know why we pick that particular project to do before we even go out and uh inform the board and get uh permission to move ahead with a bed process before we even start that that is something that we plan to do moving forward I think because of time this time we didn't do that but moving forward we plan to do that right in demo uh with a recommendation as to the the the rationale for choosing a particular project and asking permission from the board and offering an opportunity for the board to ask questions before we go ahead and create an RFP and go out for bid I say that would be really helpful I know a lot of the conversation we had at finance committee was why this project so um so I appreciate you uh hearing that and um proposing a solution to that appreciate that very much yeah Charlie do you want to add anything in terms of what came up I don't I don't have I don't have any additional comments okay can I ask one question so uh I think uh Mr Queen you said that going with uh mg would you had the impression or I don't want to use your words but there was a reason why you felt this one would not have the significant delays as the other if I remember with the original one with Helm it was because of parts and Etc why it was delayed do we know why we believe this one would be um less problematic from a timeline perspective I I don't so so that was twofold right at East there there were some situations with with getting equipment and getting getting set up for ASO high school there was no reason for that job not to come in on time and and for that in the sensitive timeline with this project we can't go with them I I it's not my recommendation to go with them and there a couple of other things that I would like to point out too the uh the approach that we use in drafting the RP we put in a request for liquidated damage in the RP process and uh what that would do is we set a uh substantial completion day of I believe August 8th and what that would do is it will offer uh the uh the winning bidder the the the option to finish on time and if they don't they will have to pay the district compensation for every day they missed in finishing by the set day and the flip side of that would be if they do finish on time we will pay them uh a bonus if you will and that bonus is actually not going to be no money it's going to be part of the contingency that we set aside for the for the project so if there's no contingency we don't pay that so we're thinking that would be an incentive to make sure that the win and bidder actually finishes the work on time it's got It's an incentive to get them to to prioritize our work because we know a lot of biders they have a lot of work they're doing all at the same time and we believe that if they they started to make a little extra money if they put our job first they would do that I suppose the one that doesn't give them any incentive and just to clarify you said that the helm did not have the request for liquid liquidated damage but we will do it for future ones we didn't do it for prior but from the from this point on for the rtu we put that in the RFP and we intend to put that in RFP uh going forward all right thanks okay all right um thank you very much for being here question thank you again Mr Queen and mrfi um next we have our new ISB resolution ions each board member will take a vote on each of the five new resolutions which will determine how our district votes at the delegate assembly in November okay so J Jared can you just refresh our memory just take a minute and refresh our memory about um industrial construction uh yeah it was it was a again these are not like I want to make it clear we're not voting on you know hey this this means anything for this District or anything like that it's merely us telling iasb um this is what we want you to have as a priority as far as things that you should try and um get done quite quite frankly down in in Springfield and so the industrial construction piece is uh basically asking that um they do not uh allow Zoning for industrial um uh construction with within a certain U uh area around a school around a school it could though have repercussions for our district because oh I'm not I'm not yeah no no no I'm not I just I'm not arguing that like like if ISB goes down there and they're successful we we need to realize like like hey this is us sending iasb down there to either Lobby for or against totally agree I just don't want there to be confusion like this means it's automatically going to happen if we vote on it right we're one vote the consequence well like I know that around the Hunt Club area there's been a I can't remember what it was like a granite um Quarry or something they wanted to put back there and I know that there was a lot of uh discussion around there because of air quality and so I just want to make sure that we understand what what this means because iasb is saying do not adopt this and um I want us to understand that it could possibly have with all the construction going on in our community um down the road it could have some sort of implication yeah and this this come I I think I gave the background last time and I I'm I'm listen I am honest sometimes to a fault um I I will totally admit my bias on this it's no uh accident that comes from Pleasant Dale which is not too far from where stereogenic occurred um having um having a a a brother who um and and and niece and nephew right who were growing up within uh ground basically Ground Zero stereogenic uh and having a brother who passed away from a very rare cancer um you know uh it's uh I I definitely understand where this is coming from is very difficult for me I admit to to divorce myself from from those feelings and those emotions so it doesn't surprise me um at all and it doesn't surprise me where it's coming from okay so to if we're saying we agree with ISB we're saying to them Lobby against industrial Construction in um correct in districts that so it's not close to schools that's what we're saying and and and to be fair right because I always try and be fair um the part of the reason they're saying not to adapt is because they're stating that this could um do things to small towns who have very little space they might be surrounded by Farmland I'm familiar with one small town that I grew up in that was definitely surrounded by a Farmland um how how and that their fear is that the only place for them to build is next to schools in some cases uh and and a lot of those small towns are hurting totally get it y um if I'm being totally fair though um we did have industry in my small town and it was not next to the school so um it can be done all right we're gonna we're gonna have a we're just going to do this for all five and then we'll vote so school resource officer funding so remember we were having a discussion and this was about the funding not what school resource officers do but can we get a clarification from you on what they do yeah so in relation to this funding request or submission the resolution is really to provide additional funding if districts need it or requested to support sros for the purpose of train who are trained in tactical measures in a critical situation to save lives and the focus of this particular I should say funding request is in relation to school resource officers and their role in emergency planning as it relates to drills uh installing security I mean supporting um school safety measures in relation to active Shooters and school shootings that are happening nationally that is the specific language that is used here in relation to the SRO and the recommendation to support funding to offset the cost that school districts may have to pick up in paying for SRO so SRO May cost the district anywhere from 350 to 500,000 to a million depending on the number you have and so this would be to provide that funding so we're not talking about um whether or not we believe that SRO are appropriate in schools that kind of thing that's not what this can divorce the two huh I don't think you can divorce the two I mean that's this is why we're having having this discussion yeah and I I like I listen I might be in I might be in the minority here but I'm I'm going to say it like um we are very appreciative of everything that our law enforcement does and and forbid we ever have to deal with a situation like this I I I think that you know um this day and age our our law enforcement um not being having a relationship with with a with the schools is just it's not realistic and and I get I get the SRO argument and I don't disagree with those I I do think some of that though falls on school districts utilizing them incorrectly um and so so in this case you know I they were very careful how they crafted this um and and I want to be careful that you know I listen I mean I'm not going to tell anybody how to vote what to what to believe in but but I do want to make sure that we send uh a good message and a positive message and part of the reason part of the reason that they're used potentially incorrectly is because we don't control the SRO officer the local police department does and I think that's a point of of contention for a lot of people which is they still are the employee of the local police department they are not our employee so what we can ask to continually is to please like for instance go to the national school resource uh board or whatever organization and take their training and we can but that is all handled in an intergovernmental agreement and what are we going to you know hold them responsible for I mean at the end of the day they're not our employee we have an intergovernmental agreement an intergovernmental agreement I just I have the research shows that this is this is an issue I also understand that when it comes to a school Intruder God forbid a school shooter our teachers our Educators aren't trained in tactical measures right but I think the discussion I I think it's very hard to ask us to divorce oursel one thing from the other do we believe in school resource officers are we going to say no go ahead and yeah we want funding for it I just don't know where we land on that yeah I think the one thing it was a good point you just brought up Jared it almost like swayed me a little bit because it made me think of this so if this resolution passes regardless of how we feel about sro's if it passes and this is a question I'm asking and then additional re requirements are um pushed down to the districts but yet we don't think uh we and we don't approve this dollar amount then that means that we would have to cover the cost that the state is pushing down if we say no if it well not we but if if if it doesn't get approved we still then have to pay for whatever legislation that is then pushed down so that's where I was like I didn't think about it from that perspective yeah and again like I you know this doesn't this doesn't this doesn't stop us from saying hey okay we have to change this is how we use SRO in our I got you yeah okay all right next number three bus driver regulations you want to it basically reverts back to I forgot what year but it basically it UND it's basically asking them to undo some legislation which restricted um bus drivers in the past it's it's trying to get more bus drivers in the in the field I I'll be honest I I me personally I'm reluctant on it because there's a reason why they were put in place uh on the flip side I don't know about you but I like I I like my own School District I see a board out front that says okay here's here's the buses are going to be late this is the bus you're really taking you know um understand everybody's frustration when it comes to busing and transportation but it it really is um uh it it it has everything to do with a shortage right is it rolling back safety well that's what I was going to ask but is is this a true correlation so are we are what research is showing that if we roll This back then uh you know more people in droves are going to say oh they just want to train locally versus by a national provider so can for instance have a I don't know who we have on staff but I'm going to give a just a possibility if we had someone on staff that could train new drivers why would we not allow that let's say they have 25 years behind the wheel or some I don't know what you need to do there's very specific um ways in which school bus drivers attain their life insurance and how what's saying right now is that in February they put another set of rules that you have to you know train through a national provider and so forth which takes away our opportunity if we have those locally and makes it harder because everybody's going after the national trainers versus locally where we all go after our own I don't I don't think that um I don't think it's going to affect safety what I think it is going to do in the long run is we already have get our on buses so much earlier than they need to be because we have to have drivers that run multiple routes I think that poses more of a safety issue than who trains them do I think we have them a responsibility to make sure whatever I don't even know who does that like puts I I don't know Mr if it's you but whoever puts those protocols in place for how they're trained um I worry more about how much we continue to keep putting on our current drivers the the the other piece behind this though that we haven't discussed just to make sure that we talk about this too is there's there they want the reimbursement to ra be raised to 100% and I'll be honest with you like that's why I'm I'm I I I agree with everything you've said but I'm reluctant because there's only so much money and and if it's coming in the form of transportation that's great um but then realize that use it I don't want to call it a block grant but it kind of indirectly is because if it's not money that's going to the you know evf as an example but hey you're still going to get it but it's locked into Transportation you know I I'm I'm yeah this is this is a tough one because imagine a negotiation when you have no skin in the game you so yeah okay next one employment history review um this is the one that's uh basically trying to get um what is it uh other other a other state agencies involved in um DCFS and so forth in um Aaron's law and or Faith's law I'm sorry Fates law different one sorry apologize Fates law and um uh I I don't know they're they their their reasoning for this is it's just not uh I mean DCFS is already having problems as far as having employees um adding this on the plate is yeah probably problematic to say the least so um Brian Brian um Heather do you guys have any thing to say on this one yes I think we mentioned this last time we we agree with your sentiment I absolutely think it is irresponsible to add this on to DCFS in this time um agree and they are so already so burdened and we have to remember that we have the burden to put people in place in HR that will do the appropriate background checks and um it this is going to be a little bit of a of a burden for the district when we have big chunks of hiring because you have to do it all at one time but I think we have to remember that um it is the role of our district to hire train and provide ongoing professional development for our HR teams along with a strong partnership with our board attorney to make sure that our hiring practices and our screening practices are legally solid I think adding this to DCFS is just unacceptable y okay last one uh I've done a little bit more research on this one and and actually talked to some other districts and I I totally understand where this one is coming from it's the alternative safe school funding and listen I indirectly the the teacher shortages involved here right right so if you I'm sorry I'm I'm going to stop you I'm this me can you just explain what you understand I don't know why I could not comprehend this one to save my life so yeah so basically what it's saying is that these School dist school districts are getting to a point where the amount of students they basically have in crisis or that need um you know uh above and beyond um care uh resources s um um supports is is increasing and and that's just true that's just that's a fact right I mean that is happening across the board and so what they're asking here for is basically alternative safe school funding because what's happening is you have school districts that because their amount of out placements and so forth is increasing they are struggling to afford that it's it's an added expense and on top of that look at some of our own own programs here where it's difficult to attract and so you are Outsourcing in some cases or just not finding the staff that's qualified to deal with these kind of of of things right and so I I okay sorry and so I'm not I'm not making an argument for it I'm just trying to give I'm just trying yeah I'm just explaining what's going on and so um you in some cases you have teachers that are attacked by by students at a higher rate um other students that are attacked by a higher rate uh clearing school school um rooms at a higher rate all these things cost money right and so um you know it even mentions in here as far as an analysis it says yeah while they don't they don't recognize that they do say we might need to review s SP 100 and I don't know if that's I don't want to go down that rabbit hole but I will say that there are times where s sp00 May be thrown around incorrectly um and so I I I feel the dist this District's frustration I get it one of the things they say is that there's already a position statement that already states that they're going to advocate for evidence-based formula to support funding for alternative schools so that part of that be making it part of that formula I mean this to me I get it I get the school district they're they're frustrated it's they're not alone like if you talk to the right people in the right school districts you'll hear this story throughout many school districts but there's a reason why they're saying not to adapt or adopt I'm sorry and that is you know because they're making that fight through evidence-based formula my issue with this one is that in my opinion I think like adding more funds to support this particularly the way it's written uh immature and aggressive behavior in students um Can incentivize districts to place students in those school elementary students elementary students and I think there's a better way to address the serious concerns that schools have I don't disagree wow I I take a completely different um perspective from this and I um am very I guess lucky if you could say because one of my best friends runs the largest um Regional safe School in The District in Rockford it's through Regional um o through the Roe number four um so just I want to give you a little bit of perspective so first of all Eugene the purpose of an rssp is twofold to increase safety and promote learning in schools and to meet the particular educational needs of disruptive students more appropriately and individually so when rssp went into effect in 1997 it served 1,325 students in 2012 it served 4,000 students there are 80 rssp program sites in Illinois and Rockford alone served 917 students last year and so the issue becomes that they are funded based on competitive grants and evf both of which flu fluctuate and so the pro what happens is small districts like that are serving maybe 50 students so their cost per student is incredibly High but in Rockford where they're serving 917 students the cost is relatively low so it depends and and a school I don't know the particulars of this but they can choose what they do with their students or not I think one of the things that bothered me about this particular um proposal was two things a to review SB 100 um I think that is a little bit irresponsible because I think we still need to have exclusionary options for schools when it comes to behavior that is incredibly egregious like throat punching a teacher or something like that so I don't think going back to that is necessarily um the right thing to do I think what is is we've heard in this district and I'll just focus on our district although I know a lot of educators are feeling this across the country is that we are seeing these behaviors in younger students over and over and over and so for me and this is just me I would rather see the school code changed to include K through 12 because right now it's 6 through 12 before and and I know that our Alternative Program could very much serve some of those students if it had some proper I just think that I we have experiences with some kids in school right now they're incredibly disruptive but there are not a lot of options for them we do know the gened class classroom is not the place for them so um I just with this if we are going to if we're going to keep the current model then I think that they should have funding that is definitely more consistent yeah but I don't know if that dis addresses that so that's the question yeah I I would first of first of all I think that the the resol utions committee does not adopt this so if there's a question as to where I would stand on this um I have a bias I'm married to a child psychologist and so I would say that I think to your point I think that there are the the the value of sb1 is that it provides a significant attention to what are the interventions that are in place and so when those continue to fail we do have then in our we do know that there are behavioral profound behavioral strategies to address how children's needs are addressed and typically that then goes through tier one tier two as in terms of restorative or remedial practices or interventions tier three being special education and we know that there tends to be a preponderance of students of color who end up in special through that route my concern is that at least in that route there are clear there there's clear case management and attention to what's happening there my worry as I read this as it stands I think you rais some important questions were some important issues were raised tonight about safety of our Educators that has to be a Paramount issue um and resourcing our schools so that when there are challenges we are able to um make sure that uh students are uh teachers are safe as well as children are safe however in the way this is written today it it it concerns me that it doesn't position the level of other interventions that need to be considered equally and so I could imagine this coming back with uh a review of sb100 IT mentions that but to do it an Absentia of that I worri that it becomes like a slippery slope for exclusionary practices not to and this is with the equal concern I have about teacher safety yeah and I think you know I I'm I think rather than a review I think sometimes it's a re-education of SB 100 that needs to occur true and um again I this screams to me desperation due to probably the teacher shortage because you know where is it where is it affected most it's it's affected in some of our hardest to fill positions I'm talking about the state now hardest to fill positions and and our most vulnerable students and I agree I don't you know we we need to focus on the the proactive end thank you okay all right so we're ready to vote um this is a this is just a clarifying um so for example um industrial construction says do not adopt if I agree I am agreeing to do not adopt we're agreeing or disagreeing with the with the um recommendation it's that parenthesis is just telling you what the what their board recommended their board said do not adopt this their board said do adopt this so forth so if I want to adopt it I would say if you want to adopt it you're going to say I agree if you do not want to adopt it you're going to say disagree they give a they give a they give a recommendation we don't have to agree with that recommendation well but our our vote is one so the majority yes is the vote yep yeah whatever you tell me to do to go in there and do I will whatever I'm just saying it for the public yeah yeah so in number one do not adopt the industrial construction no that's what the they're telling us not to adopt we are either agreeing with the resolution or we're disagreeing with the resolution with their resolution to say like if we say they wouldn't bring this to us to say hey we want you to vote to agree like it's okay see I CH that okay so we go ahead I'm let's say number one the committee is say or the recommen the whatever ASB says recommend recommends that we do not adopt the industrial construction yes if I agree that we shouldn't adopt then I Mark agree yes Wait no that's no you are you are telling I asked the question you are telling me whether to go in there and and agree with the resolution or not so so ignore ignore the parentheses just ignore what's in parentheses wait the that what you're saying are we voting on their recommendation the resoltion I I'm trying to yes I do I do know I'm been trying to tell you okay thank you then we're going to say it again again so I'm going to I'm going to say it again right these are the recommendations we can either agree or disagree with the are we agre to the resol finish so I can't I can't like I got be able to finish if you want me to explain it go ahead go ahead these are the these are the resolutions we are either agreeing with the resolution or disagreeing the what's in parentheses is what that board the the the the resolutions committee that's their suggestion so their suggestion is do not adopt if if you say oh I agree with them then you're going to actually Mark disagree you don't want to adopt that if you're saying no wait a minute I want us to adopt it I don't care what the resolution committee said you're going to say agree oh God right so you so so you totally don't look at what they're recommending disregard parth I I scratched it up fine so scratch so if I I if I'm concerned about industrial construction within a within our school district I don't want that I'm going to say you agree if you if you're concerned than you're we got the resolution says we listen the the resolution literally says we do not want to build next to a school so if you're concerned with that you would agree with that okay I put agree okay okay but I was Jared tell me if I'm wrong or right I am agreeing or disagreeing to the resolution regardless correct yes yes you're agreeing or disagreeing with the resolution I am not agreeing or disagreeing with the recommendation that that has nothing to do with anything other they want they want you to realize what the rules committee has stated okay give me a second give me just give me a second who's on first yeah this has happened before we are we are smart student ambassadors any suggestions at this juncture you may want to you may want to step in my friends we welcome you as our board members yeah make this simple I'm sorry all you need all you need to tell me is if you agree or disagree with the resolution that's it that's all you agree with the resolution you disagree with the resolution so are we are we verbalizing this or are we handing we should go one at a time I I think we we do a straw right we could do a straw all I need is four people at least to tell me one way or the other is that what we're doing a straw disagree yeah I mean there there's no official so the you want you want to do this no oh no you you're the secretary you do it fine okay I need to know non industrial construction do we agree with the resolution or do we disagree for all those that agree raise your hand all right well that's more than four so we agree the majority agreed that we don't want construction around school that is correct so when I walk in there and they say agree then I'm going now what does happen as long as we want maybe a teachable moment what does happen is sometimes there will be enough people in there to block it from even being taken taken up so realize when I report back I might not report on all of these because there may be enough people said it's it's gone it's not even going to be taken up anymore okay all right school resource officer funding I need to know whether you agree with this resolution or you disagree with the resolution do we want do we want funding to be provided by the state that's the question yes yes so if you are so if you are saying you agree you're going to going to raise your hand I have four okay I only need four to tell me one way or the other uh then there's the bus driver regulations and you're telling me if you agree with that resolution or you disagree with that resolution that they want to be trained locally and the 100% funding I don't want to leave that out of there so if you agree I'm reluctantly agree it you don't get half okay yeah I'm also reluctant but all I need is four so I'm I'm going to march in there and say I agree I don't know about marching but that's okay it's getting late and I'm getting tired so uh employment history review if you agree with this resolution you're going to raise your hand for agree if you disagree then you don't need to so how many agree with this resolution that was easy I will go in there and disagree my my agree and my disagree are both the same all right and then the last one is alternative safe school funding if you agree with this resolution you'll raise your hand and if you do not agree then you don't need to raise your hand I doesn't matter whatever Dr keltis just said I like what he said all right so I'm I've got I've only got one hand up so I'm Marching In to disagree okay you did it that was [Laughter] painful it is very straight work yes yes so I think what's throwing people off I think I disagree yeah I disagree I actually it makes sense didn't you go in and vote before no but I he he was our no I knew what I knew how to vote I knew because well this is what the same sheet they give you every year no no that is the same sheet they give you every year that's a year ago next agenda item is yes let's let's move on next agenda item all right action items my head just started hurt all right um 9.1 would you guys like to be excused know you have you mean you're not enjoying [Music] this Tom I'm glad you permission not to answer that question do you agree or disagree yeah raise your hand if you agree thank you have a good night take care thank you all right action item 9.1 approval of EVC resolution can I have a motion please make a motion to approve the resolution with Gallagher's employees benefits Cooperative second um I do have something I'd like to say about this yeah um it's it's it's quick turnaround and there's some things that I'm still worried about when it comes to the government of this so [Music] um I'm very reluctant on this but at the same time I understand the timeline so um remind us of the timeline please I think you have November 6 start as as start I mean you we can't vote on this November 6 and them say hey start signing up so and it makes sense like I mean you know Insurance that's the reluctance let's raise those question I just I the my my only reluctance is can easily satisfied with once I understand the the governance of this um what I and I want to make it clear that um you know I I will I will probably support this I I will support this but but um there's a reason why because it seems like it's an 18-month commitment and um I but I I do want to understand what we're talking about as far as our influence I mean I I that's great that you say we're going to go in there and try and influence this but this also a public meeting so now all those 125 school districts if they want to do their homework are aware of what we just said and that's kind of why I'm interested in the in the governance of this and I I want our employees to to have a say and I want us to speak on their behalf and I want us to be there representing them to the best that we can so I'm happy that that's our attitude I'm not saying like I'm you know not content with that but I would like to know the particulars just so I can speak to it also so I I look forward to hearing back on on that and the reason that we've had this quick turnar around is because UMC um Mr oim came in and and we were needing to have done this work PRI to well can we speak to why we're moving now versus a year from now it's right now so when you're in Market you have all your Brokers come to the table and you start building your benefits packages we are past that window and so we're jumping right into it already we talked about this in the committee meeting I was very uncomfortable with it because this is not how we like to work um but it would take a whole another year before we can make any impacts or save any money yeah so it's a timing issue uh uh benefits normally wrong calendar year as I think Ken mentioned from January to December so this is your time we normally do our open enrollment so if we don't do it now then we have to wait till next year to be able to do this right so this is only an 18month Commitment if after 18 month they come back and we're now satisfied with the service or the rate we can always go back to what we're doing before that's a good point so it's not a long-term commitment so and that's what I realized and that's like I I'm still reluctant I'm still reluctant yes but but I think I could be um I just need that education piece on how the governance of all of that works and once I have that I I I will feel a little more comfortable so I can you know when question I can speak to it what I can say is prior District where I worked when we switch over to abbc we were able to get one of amand there someone who serve in the same capacity as am mandate with me to be the vice chair of the uh the board of governance and she's still the vice chair today of the board of government of that of that of the uh Coop it's always difficult for me I I admit some of my roots I uh um uh are deep right and so I'm still the small town kid sometimes from down the road so when I hear us getting involved with other places and and who's going to have the influence and who isn't I'm cautious and I I um I don't mind change I don't mind explaining change I understand that there's an evolution but I just need to understand it to be able to speak to it that's all I appreciate that thank you yes thank you okay um Everybody y got anything you want to say no okay go ahead I did second it right yes okay Miss I Dr Mario I mrone hi Miss Simon I Mr G I Miss Johnson hi Mr pler hi motion passes 70 action item 9.2

motion by Mr Smith second by Mr babjack question or discussion oh bailing bailing early huh oh I do I have one quick question see is this something that if this goes well because I know you said you were tracking the results which I think is fantastic if this goes well is this something we can apply for each year or possibly add to the program now yep yep and I have seen the robots demonstrated and um it's really pretty amazing so I'm excited and I think our kids are going to love these robots awesome thank you sounds like a great opportunity in program thank you thank you any other questions all those in favor favor please signify by saying I I those opposed motion carries five thank you Mr President board members um as you know we are beginning the process of making a conversion from Neola to isba policies and after speaking with folks from uh isba last week uh beginning that process so plan on seeing a little bit of this u in our meetings coming up here but this particular collection are a set of policies that we need to update here as we uh roll into the new year so we would consider these U quote unquote somewhat of an urgent batch to get updated here and I'll keep these coming uh at you uh each month but in this particular uh batch we have policy 310 which is the old Neola P policy 3121 this basically speaks to criminal history checks for applicants and contractors we have this policy already uh but some updates to it it uh talks about a couple of things in specific one being that uh there's a list of uh um reasons uh for individuals why we would not be able to hire them if they've been convicted of certain crimes so these are listed in here for you um in addition if we are represented with more than one type background check for folks that were hiring we want to choose the more rigorous one to keep our students and staff safe um so that's there in policy 310 uh policy 31 speaks to the cycle where every five years all of our employees must go through a a a background check uh so that is there uh as well and that one is O Neal policy 3121 as well um the tag Grant or the teacher appreciation Grant this is also being updated to ISB a language we've had this policy uh for years but this is now um um been updated to the new isba language and that the TAC Grant basically speaks that each year we'll receive this grants eligible teachers will will receive these monies and there will be a 25% differential between teachers that are highly effective and effective there's no change there it's just uh slight language change from the older policy to the new one so this is an update but it needed to be done and I will give you a little hint we're going to have to do uh we'll adopt that one each year going forward uh early in the fall okay just to make sure that we like that language um another important one is policy 4304 um this is nea's old policy 55 17.01 it speaks to the definition of bullying uh this is a very important update for us and there'll be some other language in bullying that will be inserting into our suspension policies going forward but we needed to get this one done right away one of the most important parts of this is uh making sure that it is uh cited in our policy due to state law uh that the uh parents of the victim of the alleged bullying need to be uh told within five business days of the report uh so that is now uh here for you uh to take a look at in this first reading and finally uh policy 5051 5051 this is new and this speaks directly to a new law that's coming out January 1st uh so with our first reading today uh hopefully our adoption in November will be all set to go and this speaks to uh challenges to library media and other supplemental materials this is embedded in our complaints area right now but it needs to be pulled out and needs to stand alone as its own policy and it will now uh under policy 5051 so in summary what I'm requesting this evening is just to have a first reading of these policies okay we'll bring them back next month uh in hopes uh that we get them approved and updated thank you Mr Kiwa as Mr Kiwa mentioned this is just the first reading so what I recommend is uh read through these any questions or that make sure we bring them up for the next before we actually go through and approve these changes officially next month may I pose a quick question to Mr Ki yeah Dr Teran I already talked about this so I just for public knowledge uh with the library books is a hot issue as you can imagine throughout the country how many have we had in Crown Point that challenges from parents or public so we could hold them on one hand probably most of them are uh they want to review um not necessarily uh requesting any removal if you will but uh we do have a a procedure for folks that want to come and examine any particular curricular area so we can have those materials prepared for folks to come check them out so we we've had a couple of those but um I I don't think think there's been been more than five and as long as I can remember I think that's great I think it's great that the public has that information yeah Abol thank you for that thank you quick question um you know specifically references School libraries is that include classrooms just Library this this policy speaks to library and media materials that would be supplemental materials that will be found in the library okay okay and and that's what the new state law is is addressing in specific and that's why we've got to pull this language out and so it stands alone um outside of our general complaint policy okay thank you again Mr AA for your work on that okay 6.02 superintendent discussion groups start telling you Mr V or anything from either of our Redevelopment commissions okay thank you two weeks two weeks okay Mr Smith anything uh nothing that impacts the school corporation thank you from Crown Point thanks all right with that 6.03 director of Grants and assessments Mr Hardman again good to be here and to uh just give you some uh uh feedback we had an opportunity over a fall break uh to give some training to our child care staff um again they're here from six o'clock in the morning till six o'clock at night uh and uh they needed a refresher and CPI and we were very pleased to offer and provide that uh to those uh um caregivers in our uh in our corporation uh Nick China was uh the the the trainer for that uh having been sitting in on the training just the deescalation the strategies the holds uh are things that are really vital to this group um knowing that they are there they're at buildings that uh when there's nobody else there uh people leave and so it's important that they are able to uh to uh work with the children in in positive ways and yet at the same time be able to uh to have the capabilities to uh uh to to have the holds to be able to help the students to uh regulate so we want to thank Nick we want to thank you for our staff that came in over fall break to be able to do that thank you thank you Mr Harman director of Elementary education Mr China thank you Mr President and board members while academics are you know always at the heart of what we're doing in our schools I want to highlight some of the meaningful opport unities that our elementary schools have planned and implemented recently in some of these areas uh to help students be successful in school and in life for example uh our elementary schools have planned some activities surrounding bullying prevention uh to help our students feel comfortable safe and ready to learn um this is through stomp out bullying month in October or bullying prevention month uh also our schools have been encouraging some interest and learning about life After High School with different activities towards careers and colleges uh during College and Career go week recently finally we are in the midst of a very exciting time for elementary schools uh one thing we value and prioritize is partnering and collaborating with our families uh for the growth and success of all of our students uh these homeschool relationships are you know really crucial to the growth of all of our students and uh while this is an ongoing Focus year round over the next week or so all of our elementary uh students uh and parents will be having parent teacher conferences um you know so the the goal is for us to have conferences for 100% of our students um and I can report back later and let you know how we what percentage we got to okay appreciate that thank you Mr Chin thank you director of secondary education Mrs Ramirez I'm going to have to learn now with them coming from the back with the new setup give them a little time to get the mics unless we're just going to have some speed Tri F and see how quickly we can get up here for the next meeting thank you Mr President board members I just want to take this opportunity to share with you um an upcoming event that I hope you will um consider attending we have the fall musical at Crownpoint High School taking place on November 11th 12th 18th and 19th at 2m also on the 11th 17th and 18th there is a 7 PM showing of Mary Poppins and if you have ever attended a fall U musical or a production by r cphs um theater Department you will by all means know that it will be fantastic and will be a great opportunity so um we encourage you to attend and just want to share with you that this is the first time we are doing the musical in the fall this will allow those who are in choir and Orchestra to be able to be part of the musical and still be able to participate in isma competitions that happen in the spring so it was a very strategic move to switch those two so that students can be as actively involved as possible so we are really looking forward to this performance and um hope you will join us there on one of those days if your schedule allows also want to share with you another great thing um that has really started to become a tradition and um it just took place this past week on on October 21st at the high school this is the third year that they are doing Cars and Coffee and it happened on Saturday and it's really pretty cool it's a great Community event former students as well as community members bring in their um vehicles and these can be vintage Vehicles these can be I'll use the term souped up Vehicles I'm not sure if that's what they would call them um however you do see their hoods up showing engines you see people sitting in lawn chairs talking about their cars and so it's really a great opportunity um for our students to raise funds for the auto club but also to bring in community involvement and support so we really um appreciate all those involved in that great event they will do another one in the spring and lastly I just want to commend Crownpoint high school and a successful PS Pat Administration on October 11th and our middle schools will be joining in their PSAT Administration tomorrow so big um undertaking and success already and look forward to completion of that at the middle schools thank you Mrs Ramirez director of exceptional education Mrs pascus good evening again members of the board I wanted to give you a little background on the Mangan family who uh gave the donation earlier I had some communication with Bridget today and uh they organize a golf outing each summer at Lake of the Four Seasons and the money they donated to us for Best Buddies was just a result of 5050 tickets and basket auctions so um they have four children their three daughters were members of best buddies in high school and one daughter was the president and then their son Kevin has been in our programming ever since preschool so I mean he's an awesome kid I don't know the daughters but um just a lovely family and when I asked about um how they raised the money she gave all the credit to their friends and family dad has 61 cousins or something that she said Lake of the Four Seasons everyone just comes together and um it's all hands on deck and everyone helps and donates and it's wonderful so some good news you have to make sure if you stay in contact let us know when that event is next year I because we do have some golfers here on the board some better than others I sure I don't know if we'll get a space it sounds like it's it's hard to get a spot okay um also uh I I know we're always looking for more pair professionals it's an extremely difficult position to fill um and I think we're not the only organization uh experiencing um a lot of coming and going of pair professionals it's a very intense position so um on November 1st we're going to hold an another all day open hiring event um we're going to publicize and invite interested applicants to come here from 8 to 4: anytime there'll be four of us just spread out Holding On The Spot interviews um and then just looking over the last five years um in 2018 2019 there were 79 peras for exceptional Ed five of those peras were in the preschool we now have 121 Paras and 15 of those are in the preschool so there's been a 53% increase just in Paras and about a 27% increase in our count of special education so I mean we are just Staffing it more so I think that is another reason we're seeing a lot of come coming and going so we're also going to try and support those Folks by starting on November 9th um a monthly training that we're g to call Exceptional Ed University ee so the second uh Thursday of each month from 1 to three we're GNA have

also want to thank um there are other support or other support staff members here at central office that took a turn at the front desk um just for redundancy should we have any sort of Crisis or or a

a half so just thank you to all for helping out with that effort um I I want to add here we had a well-known longtime teacher named Bill fricky used to teach a Taft middle school ironically uh the building that was almost sitting right where we're sitting right now um he was an English teacher he was also in charge of yearbooks he has brought over and I see Mike in the back over there he brought another box today um but he bought boxes of Olde books dating back to 1958 um and I've got actually first year book in my in my office so we want to make sure we get that over to the new te Middle School in case they have a display case or whatnot but I just wanted to publicly thank uh Mr fricky for taking the kind time to come out and and share those artifacts when you know he may have
