So, the power method are going to stay in and now Bluff has to switch their characters and players. Let's see which one they choose. See if it's one that you like. Okay, so it's going to little Mac Trisy D. So, that means Tristan is up. Do you like Little Mac? It's okay. But here, Little Mac is a very bad character to play against Pyron Mithra. Okay. And a very bad character overall. I know we saw it earlier and it did not work out well for the other team. Let's see if it works out for Bluffton. Okay. Well, again, it it goes back to who's controlling the character because you you can beat people. Yes. With almost nothing, but it still gives a little in their favor. So, let's see if they can do it. So what are the major disadvantages that Little Mac? So like Python, they both have swords, so they can like hit without getting hit themselves.
Oh my gosh. That's a lot to do for an excuse not to run. And I and I and I tried I asked the doctor if I could runs lower and maybe walk and run and he was like, "It's a no hard no for you." So, I had to defer anyways. So, but it's not my first marathon, but it's my dreaming marathon. So, I'm deferral and I'll run next year or we'll see how you're doing. When are when are you due if you don't mind me asking? Uh, I'm doing When are you due? When are when are the babies expected? Oh, September. Okay. Yeah, you might not be ready yet. We'll see. Yeah, beginning of September. So the doctor said, "Oh, probably you are going to run only in 207." And I was like, "Okay, but I'm gonna see how it goes. Maybe my husband can help." I do have to say there's a woman on my block who I know and I she ran through her pregnancies.
goes around the net looking for somebody. Gets the ball over to M Whitw. M Whitworth barreling her way in around the back of the net. Gets the ball of Luke Kasich. Lucasich off something. M Whitler ends up with the ball. Mac over to Addy Jordan who fires the ball past the goalie for a four to nothing Esome lead. Addy Jordan's second goal of the night. Spart number seven, Eddie Jordan. Number five, M with the assist. We're back on the draw. I think EOS won every draw minus the first one of the night. What a great grab by Kenna Marino. Gets the ball over to Jordan. Jordan over the restraining line. looking to set something up as they double team or possibly triple team Jordan around the net looking for gets the ball to Grace Howard. Grace Howard with a shot. Nice save by the keeper.
So we can look at our current year average daily attendance our prior year or three prior years average. Um so that three prior year average was implemented um by the legislature with Gavin News pushing a couple years ago to give us that third option um because kind of postcoid as you saw earlier the percentages are significantly lower um and as we're building that up than we have that third option. So currently um we budget around it for a 94% attendance rate. So that's that's our goal right now for the current year. Um with that percentage right now the district is spended on prior year. So, but if we're able to increase to 95% just 1% um then we would be funded on current year and it would generate an additional 575,000 in funding. So, it is based on a districtwide attendance percentage. So, we do see that our high schools and ironically not our TKs tend to be our lower um attendance percentage.
Little Mac only has his fists. Okay, so he has no buffer. And then the one thing that makes Little Mac really bad is his recovery. Cuz if he gets hit off stage, he most likely will die. Cuz if cuz when he gets hit, he doesn't get his side be back, which is his main recovery. And because most characters like if they get their hit off save, they'll get their like upy or side be back, but little Mac only gets his up back and his up is not very good. Like I'll point it out if that happens. Right there, the KO punch kills it like 40. Little Mac ahead by a lot. So again, back to the people playing. Yes. cuz I'm pretty sure if I set you loose with little Mac, he would tear through any character probably. Depends. So, what are the main powers of Pyro?
I see her walking with her children all the time. So, you never know. But we'll keep a spot for you when you're ready. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm still living in Ashland, so I'll be around and I'll watch you. There you go. Two Ashland citizens you're bringing into the world. That's pretty important, right? [Laughter] Thanks, guys. What a story to tell them. And we will have you back next time. Yes, definitely. Sure. I'm not giving up. When when when you are ready, we will make sure that one of the spots is yours. Yeah. Thank you so much. Through Boston Marathon. Okay. Oh, okay. Nice. Oh, okay. Okay, that's even better. Great. Okay. Um, we're gonna jump online. I know we have at least one runner on two. Michelle and Allison. Okay. Um, and can we have them do their cameras or not? Allison and Michelle, we're we're trying to see with everything that's been going on, we have been restricting people putting their cameras on.
Northampton loses the ball as it goes out of bounds. Kenna Marino will run the ball in. Get the ball over to Mckne. Mcknne over to Howard. Howard gets the ball over over to Jordan. Jordan to M. Whitwer. Mac in and out of two girls. Kicks it back over. Starts over to Marino. Marino fires over Kasich and the ball goes out of bounds. Ball over in the caution. Caution runs through. Gets the ball over to green. Green over to Jones. Jones looking to run the ball over the restraining line. She's met by Addie Jordan who knocks the ball loose. Gets called for a foul. Jones gets the ball in over to Brahman. Brahman looking to make a move and she's met by Grace Howard with Grace Howard looking to push her all the way out of bounds. Good defense by Howard. Now it's Kylie Marino's chance.
Um so, it would require that some combination of all our grades um increase so we hit 95%. Just a clarifying question when you said 94% is is the goal really that's just for budget budgetary. Yes. Yes. Thank you. Yeah. Much higher. Yes. That amounts to 575. If we can Yeah. If we can increase it to 95% generate an additional 575,000 per year. Yep. Okay. So the other piece, and I think Tim hit hit it hard at the beginning, ultimately if kids aren't at school, they're not learning. So what we do is we have two programs that allow for attendance recovery. We have short-term independent study, which is 15 days or less. And then we also have a Saturday school program where students can make up those instructional minutes that they missed. So Jen was able to go through her records and get me the ADA for the last couple years of how much um was recouped during during those programs.
So, what they have is um so it's two characters in one and they can switch between which one you're playing as. Pyro is the one right now. It's pretty hard to tell with the skin they have. They're both blue. But Pyra is the one with the red sword. And Mithther has the green sword. Pyra is very strong but slow and heavier. And Mithra is a lot lighter, but can move a lot faster. Well, looks like they took her. They did. And he and he's had two stock left. So, Bluffton is back ahead of two stocks. All right. This is our last player for um And there's Tristan. So now they have to choose their new player. Yeah. Their last player is coming out now. Either the best or they hoped that the pirate mentor would take them. We don't know. Well, we don't usually put you in first.
Um Susan, if you make them co-hosts, they can do both. Okay. And then you can just undo that if after. But that's the only way I think the video works with the settings. Okay. Okay. Um, we're gonna Allison and or Michelle, whoever wants to unmute and just introduce yourself. I mean, both of you are pretty well known, but let's unmute Allison and have her start. Okay. And is can Alison? No. Yeah, it wouldn't let me do it. Um, okay. I would be there in person, but I have a really bad case of pneumonia. So, oh no, Alison sitting in bed. So, Michelle is gonna do most of the talking. Um, I am just really grateful to be running. Uh, if you don't know me, I worked for Wacka TV for 10 years. I used the BAA grant to put on summer movie nights at the corner spot for five or for like four or five years um before COVID and it's like the last little check mark on what I can do to give back to the town.
Believe that was Greening the ball in as Jenna made a save, but she was fouled before the shot. Green scored six goals the other day against Ammerst. 23 goals last year on a season as she's looking to get a goal against East Law Medal. It gets knocked away by Jordan. Gets called by a fall as Green will get another chance. Green with the eight meters as Jenna Holly stuffs her for Jenna's I don't even know fourth, fifth, sixth save of the game. Kenna Mario looking to blow by the whole Northampton offense. She gets it over to Leaseik. Lease gets the ball over. Looks to Angelina as Lucas gets shooting space. Kasich will get an eight meter. Kaseich takes a shot, misses just wide. Northampton gets the ball, runs it in. EO looking to stop them on the ride. Forge bringing the ball up the field.
and then the associated dollars here. So, pretty significant. Our short-term independent study program does break between 30 and 40 ADA. You'll see here that in 2324 there was just over 34 ADA that generated about 436,000. Um, in 2122 there was almost 48. 40 ADA that generated 400,000. And the reason that seems kind of backwards is because the per ADA amount in 23 24 was larger than 2122. So even though there was less ADA, it generally more dollars. And our Saturday school, which is primarily our secondary sites, um does range between 10 to 15ish ADA that is recruit from those days. There's just less days available than a short-term study. Yes. At one point there was discussion about secondary level, Saturday school, whether or not you had to have a certificated employee being in charge of Saturday school. You do. Okay. Yes, you have to have a certificated teacher who's overseeing um the activity and then they become the teacher of record, right, for that Saturday school program.
You do sometimes. I do sometimes. Well, we'll see what their strategy was. Coming out with Ryu. I I don't think I have seen this character. I personally really like this character. You never played this character? I used to. I didn't. I've not seen. And Eli did at some point, too. Okay. So, tell me about Ryu. So, Ryu is um he has fireballs. Two kinds of fireballs. A blue one and a red one. The red one's more for like hitting you after it. And then the blue one is it does more damage. So, actually, no, it doesn't. It's just like you can control it more. But there's the red one. Mhm. And then there's um a blue one that you might see. And then he has inputs like there's inputs for the things instead of just like the normal like forward A or forward B. It's like down diagonal forward or like um right down diagonal right.
Um so I'm just so excited that I got to do this with my sister. That's great. Feel better. Thank you. You got a couple weeks to be recovered. I know. I'm I'm real scared. Sorry. Always go real slow, you know. Yeah. At least it's not my first. That's true. Michelle, we get Michelle unmuted. Getting Michelle unmuted. Jen or Michael. Okay. We can hear you, Michael. We're trying to get Michelle's. It should work now. There we go. Um, yes. So, like Alison said, we're both super excited to be running. Um, so, as you know, I mean, I have worked through Ashling um cable as well, doing some interviews and some other things. Was not as involved as my sister was. Um, but we actually both ran Boston in 2019 and I did get a grant through or I did get a bid through Ashland to raise money and I'm just super excited um to be able to do it again.
gets the ball to Green. Green loses the ball by Looks like Sabina Mckne knocked the ball out of bounds. Good play by Sabina Mckne. Kekne gets the ball in, throws it over to Holly. Holly over to Mckne. Keky bringing the ball up the field. Throws over to Marino who has room to operate and she gets the ball easily over the restraining line over to M. Whiter who's looking for a move. Dodge, weave around the back of the net over to Mian Calibies. Calib's looking for somebody over to Kasich. Kasich back to Marino. Over to Jordan. Back to Marino. Over to M. Whiter. Mack with a spin behind the net. That has another save by the keeper. Nice save by the keeper on to stop Matt Whiter shot. Booen with the ball. She's met by M. Whitwer who kicks it back to Ford. McDonald can't hold on to the ball and Casey picks it up.
I know that was there was a lot of discussion along those lines. wasn't sure where it was now. So, how does the state decide what our ADA was? I know you take the census P1, P2, and annual. Do they look at those just those three numbers? Are they average? We're funded off of P2, which is period 2. So, P1 is reported just before Christmas. Y um kind of gives us a a guide rail of where we're at for the year. Um that's really used by the state for cash flow purposes so they can distribute money to the district. P2 is where the district is funded. Um when when we talk about these dollars, I know it's a little bit in the weeds, but the reporting for P2, is that like an average of every day leading up to that point? Is it just a snapshot of one day in the district?
Mhm. It's like different inputs for the special moves that you can do and it does more damage if you do it. But the main thing that Ryu has is the shyukin, which um you'll probably see it at some point, but it's he I saw the blue. Yeah, that's the blue one. But you'll see it at some point probably. But it's he like leaps upwards with his fist and it like kills really early and you can do it out of stuff because they can cancel like moves into other moves. that move he just tried right there like the fist forward that would have broken his shield cuz it's a very good move. So how much skill do you have to have to play with this particular character? Like that's sure you can right there. But the the characters like this, you just have to know like it's a little harder than like like little neck for example.
It's such an amazing experience, especially living in Ashland our whole entire lives and growing up watching the marathon. Just watching everyone run by the energy. Yes, it is at the start of the marathon. everyone does have a high energy, but it's just an amazing experience going through um going through just the whole experience of it. Um so we're super excited to do it again and hopefully Alison will be feeling better at that point. We are also doing a couple of events in the town of Ashland coming up. Um, so tomorrow night we I'm actually hosting a trivia night um at Clover Road Brewery. Um, and we're we're kind of doing um I host trivia at a rock climbing gym in Framingham. Um, so we're doing a trivia night at Clover Road to um tomorrow night and then actually next Thursday we are doing a um event with the Ashland Dale House.
She's looking like she has a one-on-one over to Jordan who gets bumped. Knocks the ball away. She's turned around. Oh, Addy Jordan gets knocked to the ground. Looked like Ford knocked her to the ground. Addy Jordan has an eight meter. Add Jordan in. bounces it off the net and Addy Jordan scores again. Addy Jordan second third second second goal third goal of the game. Addy Jordan with one goal in the first quarter. That's her second one of the second quarter. You saw me at all 5 nothing with 515 to go in the second quarter. Matt Whiter on the draw again. They'll have a redraw. Bles up. Mac both bounces around. Addie scoops it away. Picks it up. Blows by everybody again. Addie's now playing behind the net. She's got two girls open looking. Takes it by herself. Scoops it around. What a play by Addy Jordan to get a hat-tick in this quarter.
What is It's literally every day. Every day. Okay. Every day after that point. Y. Awesome. Thank you. So, one last I'm sorry. Yeah, I know that does seem sweet and small, but I think I think branding and and is is an important thing. I like I like that it's being changed to like Saturday's success academy. I think Saturday school has a negative connotation. And so even in things like this, I think if we're going that route, which I think is better, I think, you know, I think it's nice you know, positivity wherever possible. And even in reports like this, I think all of those those little cues of, you know, sat Saturday success. I think just it's not a criticism, it's just an invitation to say I think that's a great way of going and and words make a difference. Connotations connotations are carried. And so I think you know everything that we can do to to put forth that kind of new rebranded idea is a good idea.
