Very But King Rule can still do this. Is this 76% that's kill percent. Ooh, he was holding up bad DI on that. He would have lived. At least I'm pretty sure he would have lived. I He would have ripped that. Okay, the reversal on that. Yeah, we're neck and neck. Yes. Oh my gosh. He can just get in. If he can kill him right here, that's it. Does not kill. He needs Oh, if he What? Oh, he's still alive. If he can recover this back here that kills. That's That's to game three now. Okay. On to game three. Just beun. Who are you first? I'm I'm in your ninth period. That's what they said. They said I'm in your ninth period. Okay. So, we're gonna have to go all the way back to game three now. All right. It's It's close. It's neck and neck.
Right. have the authority but look at it. So, so again another discussion but okay any other questions on that. Okay, keep going. Um article 13 is our typical INI um article for inflow and implementation. We're going to actually ask for both phase 14 and 15 and that way um we'll have funding to do um larger projects that are planned throughout the town uh with DPW. Um, article 14 is the established a local historic bylaw. I will say I I've sort of in my draft and I don't know if that's what how it printed. Um, I have kept it in the redline version. Lisa's made some corrections or um, revisions that I want to share with the his the historical commission and so they can see they're they're pretty small changes, but I just want to make sure that they can see those before um before we finalize that one.
Also does that personally with me as things kind of come up that are unexpected. But then we do have that group of families that we're really tracking and targeting with our resources um through the wellness team and we discuss that and then disperse um you know uh information to them uh home visits um rides to school. Um I've driven several students to school for many weeks in order to get them, you know, to where they need to be when families are having some sorts of different difficulties. And so do my target case manager and social worker. So, and then we continue to monitor them and intervene when it's necessary. But we've had some great success. It's been as part of being in community school been amazing to have a social worker with that next layer of understanding of how we can connect services to our families.
As long as I can get rid of that pirate. That pyrother took like two of their people. Yeah, that was bad. Parker the stream operator for today. [Laughter] That's funny. It is funny. That is so funny. Thought that was another kid. Okay. So, I wonder So, do do we get to choose the stage now? Yes, because we lost that. Yes, we do get to choose. Okay. I wonder which ones they're going to pick. I'm putting all my bets into a small battlefield. All my bets into it. Okay. All of it. We'll find out now. I'm a genius. Look at that. You called it. I did. Small Battlefield. Now, what is the advantage of Small Battlefield? So, Small Battlefield is like PS2, but it's a lot smaller. Obviously, it's in the name. I'm Graham, just watching. Do you know who that is? Which I've had a few Grams.
Okay. So we and we don't see those red lines yet. Yeah, probably because it's printed. Probably because it's printed. Yeah. And it's not in our packet or in the printed version. Okay. Once once um once the historical commission's reviewed it, could we see a redlinined version as well? Is that possible when Oh, yeah. I can share this the one that I Yeah, I can share the one that I that I have. I think it's just Yeah, when you print it, it doesn't. So, I can do that. Okay. Yeah, that'd be good to see that red line version. Okay. Thanks, dear. Sure. Yeah, no problem. Um, article 15 is for um for a land taking for um a multimmoal trail. And this is a parcel of land um on Pawn Street that would be utilized by the Upper Charles Trail. This is the parcel um that the Upper Charles Trail received grant funding for.
Um, and you know, that wellness team has our we have special education educator inside of that. um myself, our social worker, targeted case manager, counselor, um our attendance clerk, and it's been really a game changer for us. So, good times. You're doing great. Yeah, [Music] thank you for uh inviting us to be here on behalf of Bill Junior High School. Um we we've had uh Monica Mia, our targeted case manager, just tracking down kids for years now and Alicia Leonard in our front office monitoring attendance, making communication phone calls. Been doing that for a while. This is the first year on top of all those efforts that I feel like we've really made a concerted effort to try to improve attendance. One reason is because it's such a daunting task and because once you know even on a low attendance day we still got 950 kids rolling in the halls and they usually give us plenty to to think about right there about you missing.
I have one. She's in your ninth period. Oh, yes. I know exactly which Gram. She misses you. That's what he means. Oh, yes. Since since it's afternoon about an hour and a half ago. Okay. Okay, but we're starting off with the pythther again, but this time Link. Is this Tristan? I'm pretty sure. So, he was playing Little Mac before. Okay. So, I I think he's bringing out the Link this time. All right. Cuz Oh, two up smashes in a row. Whatever works works. Link's better because Link has He's not better. He's not better than Little Mac. Uh, yeah, he is. But I mean, he's he's got he's got projectiles. Little Mac is a lot worse, but like I mean, he's not Link is not very good either. He's got a sword. He does have a sword. A very good nare. Like the kick one is really good cuz it like lasts forever on up shield.
Um and we were hoping to uh purchase this property. Um and after sort of a a stalled uh negotiation, we are asking for authorization to take it by imminent domain. Um just just if I can add to that because I know sometimes those uh or that phrasing I should say can cause a little bit of consternation. Um, you know, uh, as Jen said, this is a a property that we had received a $300,000 grant for and actually had some good conversation with the land owner about who seemed excited about moving forward in some capacity, but uh, unfortunately, he's gone radio silent. Uh, we've sent a, you know, number of official correspondences, um, including, you know, what our intention is if we can't get a hold of him. Um, and so here we are. I should also point out the Upper Charles Trail Committee uh voted to support this article a few months ago actually.
I wonder where Jenny is today. remind people to go figure out, you know, like like so it's just I know that sounds sounds bad, but it's hard. We're aware of it and the kids right in front of us, that's just the reality of it. So, um I was taking a look at our attendance and I was wondering, you know, I wonder what it would take to improve our attendance by half a percent. I know we probably need to go up by 1%. What would it take at Bidwell to go up half a percent? Half a percent over the course of a year equals 900 individual decisions to go to school more than last year. 900 decisions. We ain't covering that with Saturday success academy or any other way that we polish that up or short-term independent study. Like those are all part of it. Yeah, we definitely want to offer as many as we can, but for a half a percent 900 decisions to go, nope, you got the snipples, you're going 900 times for half a percent.
That's pretty good, but he's like really slow. The like that's really it. He's a slow person with projectiles. It's never good. But it's it's he's going to have a better shot shot than little match probably. Okay, that's it. Depends if he's better. Like if he's as good as little Mac as young as not Young Link, I used to link as normal link then yes, I would say. So it's also trying to get the reverse upy on it. Could have spaced it a little bit if I got the ledge. [Music] Could have killed with an upy right there cuz he hit the down tilt. Hit the spike. The not spike probably would have killed. And the down air not neutral be explode that bomb did not hit S smash that probably would have killed. This is looking just like the second game. Just like the pirate is par through everyone that you So you're going to based on what we've seen so far.
Questions? Um Michael, we're not taking the entire parcel. Correct. We're just basically taking an easement on the parcel. Yeah, correct. Entire parcel. The entire parcel. Okay. The entire parcel. Right. So this is So again, when we when they applied for the grant that we received, it was to purchase the entire parcel. Okay. And as Michael said, because the owner went radio silent, now we're saying, "Okay, we're still going to pay you for the parcel, but we have to do the process of eminent domain because we haven't heard back from it." Okay? So, we're still using and it's still the grant. It we we won't we shouldn't have to use any other funds maybe except for lawyer fees to cover the purchase of this parcel. And for people who are wondering, this is the parcel on Route 126 that is across from the Dyke Trail um to the left of the Higgins property.
So, it it's an enormous task. And so, this year, we decided to try to empty the clip and see what we could do. So, the slides that we have here represent our our efforts to just like spray and and pray to a certain extent. Let's see what sticks. And we've had a lot of great help on the way. Um, Eric and Smith has been great in helping us uh pilot out some Aries communication ideas that we feel are going to capitalize on some of the the more effective communication strategies that we've had with our parents through text basically only not coming from staff's cell phones but rather through a communication and then also the the mentoring idea like do they need to notice that I'm gone like yeah we want them to notice that they're gone not just when they come back but you know ideally 10 minutes after attendance is taken in in first period.
This is their best character. No. Who's their Who's their best player? I would say their best player is probably the Ryu. Okay. I don't really know though. That's what I would say if I had to guess. But their we bluff it just isn't putting out the best people for the pirate. That's why they're just putting out the beginning hoping they can do something. Well, at least they switched from right now. Mithra could pick up the bomb if she wanted. There. She just did. Uh oh. But what? She can explode it. Only Link can explode it. Okay. But Link can't explode it when it's in someone's hands. That's the thing. So if Mithther holds the bomb, Link can't get a new one and it can't explode it. So it just limits him from having the bomb. Or she can throw it at him or whatever, but she can't explode it unless she has a fire move.
Okay. It's so that the trail can cut through and go to the back. Okay. All right. Oh, sorry. Sorry. I'm sorry. M I'm sorry, Brandy. I didn't mean to interrupt you. Can you refresh my memory as to the uh the sale price? Is that the 300,000 or is it more than that? That Well, I don't know the We don't have a determined But we're not I believe you know the the the plan is to use just the grant funds and when they applied for the grant it was based on the conversations and and other work that was done for the value of this property. Okay, that's what I that's what I something to add. Yeah, I was just going to say um you know I think uh I think we do have an appraisal done. I wouldn't necessarily want to have that discussion. No. So, okay, session I think I think you know if this does pass town meeting and then it gets actually the the you know the town meeting votes to give the select board the authorization right to do the to do the taking.
So all that takes time and and energy and and a certain amount of bandwidth. So with that in mind, um this year we we rebranded our Saturday success academy from Saturday school. If you got four cell phone violations, you're going to Saturday school. What if I don't go to Saturday school? Give me two Saturday school for six weeks from now. Mark your calendar. You know, like it just the whole thing was like really this didn't make a whole lot of lot of sense. So we we decided to uh to try to rebrand it to be a positive thing where it has actually has nothing to do with discipline and it has to do with helping your student to get more connected to school and to have some dedicated time with a certificated staff member to get some work done. It's going to feel good. It's going to feel your kid wants to get their grades up and you can see right there in your Aries profile what the missing assignments are.
Fire moves explode bombs. So like most of Pyro cuz she has a fire sword. We have some chat going on in the feed. I'm a little distracted by it watching what they're saying. And hello Graham. You should probably play with your teacher. I teach middle school. I teach sixth grade. And one of our Oh, all right. So, Bluton's down. Yeah, it's looking just like the first one, but they took a stock off the power of this. Last time they could have. Okay. Well, one stock's better than none. One stock is better than none, but three stocks is better than That's true. Yes. So, probably smart to switch to the link, but did better than the little Mac. Little Mac took none last time, I'm pretty sure. Okay. Oh, they're putting J second. Okay. You were getting ready to switch over to the game. Okay. Well, we know his character, I wonder.
So, and uh then I think we'd probably have a more um substantive discussion about pricing. Yes. Okay, great. Jen, you can keep going. Great. Um article 16 is the accessory dwelling unit um zoning bylaw. This is sort this is required by the new state law. Um this is going through the planning process now. So they'll have hearings. Um article 17 is just updating our flood plane um bylaw and this again is um really influenced by the new FEMA maps. Um just changes slightly our overlay districts. So this just outlines that. And then they have a cleanup for um they have a cleanup article for site plan review article 18. Um and it's just really sort of clarifying some language to make sure it aligns with the the law. Um and then lastly is um article 19. So again another uh mass general law called law I believe um that has updated requirements for kennels.
No, we don't expect you to sit down and do math or history or whatever with them. It's great if you can, but we realize that's not possible for everybody. If you can get them there 8 to 12, they're going to get so much done during that time. They're going to feel a lot better and it will effectively erase a full day's absence so that when they look at their profile page, their attendance is going to to go up and that's going to make the kids feel better. So, it's it's not just about a statistic. And we even say, well, it's certainly not about money. And I realize it's probably, you know, we look at 12,000 kids. Of course, there's a monetary factor to it, but at Bidwell, you know, when we have 95% of the kids every day showing up. Okay, we got the money.
And we know that uh he was able to beat their pyroar last time. Let's see if they can put I wonder if they're going to put if Jaden wins this. I I wonder if they're going to put the Kaza back out because that'd be kind of funny because then the Kaza have all three stocks instead of just two and then it'd last even longer. But like matches like that just last forever. They take almost the 7 minutes that you can. Mhm. Like look at him right now just staying on the platform. Like he's not going down. Yeah. I don't think he he didn't touch the ground until just now. Yeah. Well, I mean he doesn't have to because of the projectile. Yeah. He doesn't need to except for like when she gets under him. Then like he doesn't have anything against that. But Pyro with the air dodge, it's faster than all the other air dodges.
Um and so while we were doing many of the things that the new law requires like annual inspections um this new law requires reports to the state I believe by June or July. Um and then also increases. So previously you could have four dogs and get a kennel license and now you have to have five or more. I think those are sort of the major changes. Um, and Cindy has been working with Lisa's office with this and then also has talked to Donna Walsh. So, everybody is on board with that. Okay. And that is the warrant as it stands right now. And so, what I'm hoping is that in the next, you know, obviously after the tri board, we can firm up um some of the budgetary articles and then meet with FINCOM to have recommendations so that we can close and post it at our at our next meeting.
