Like, that's that's fine. We have a decent amount of money coming in. We're really talking about helping each and every student overcome whatever obstacles in their way uh to get to school every day. Once they're here, they're going to feel better. They're going to be glad that they're here. Junior High is all about your friends. They're, you know, they still love their teachers. Um and and they're going to feel better when they get here. A lot of times, just working through that kind of crisis moment in the morning. So to try to help wrap our minds around why some of those 900 folks assuming positive intent may make that decision to stay home, we we asked some students, we asked some parents. And uh one of one of the trends that we came up with was, you know, we had COVID and it was don't come to school at all even thinking about being sick.

Oh, he took a stock. I didn't realize on the captain. This isn't looking very good for Bluffton. They might lose this one. Well, let's hope that uh we get focused in cuz he was doing pretty good last time. He finish the stock off without losing a single one from the Pyro. Now he's losing one himself and Pyro's lost any roll in here. I knew he would have. He goes back on that platform.

Great. Any questions, comments, concerns from the board? Anyone here at the table? Yeah, I just have a question about that. The last one. Um, so the kennel, it used to be that you had to have a kennel license with four four dogs. Now you have it's when you have five dogs. Five or more. Yeah.

No, I um I think it is that way. I'll look and I'll look and get clarification though. I think I had But maybe I'm just I can you would think that they would force a kennel license with fewer dogs if they're doing something to be proactive about dogs and Right. Yeah.

And then it was, well, if you got the snipples, yeah, probably not. And then the next year it was like no, you're good. If you're just like this whole thing, you're coming. And so you can kind of see the number going down. And I think right now the brutal facts are I think some kids and parents have kind of fallen into an avoidant situation where oh I don't feel good. What does that mean? They could be anxious about any number of things. U peer conflict at school falling behind you know I think that's the biggest one. Speaking from personal experience you kind of find yourself in this hole. But we can't help that kid if you know everybody's buying into, oh, I guess he's sick. Like, no, he's not. He's avoiding the situation. Let's get him here. And then it's not just business as usual.

I don't know why Bluff's losing right now. Well, not actually. Well, like overall they are. Like it's 01. Mhm. Well, looks like uh our captain is trying to make up the difference. He might lose his stock before he can take the other one.

We can plug him in to different supports on campus to try to bridge that gap. So, see, look, you got here, you went 10:00. That's way better than not getting here at all. You got here 11 o'clock. That's way better than not getting here at all. Now we can wrap our our arms around you and and tackle this situation which now at Bidwell you're talking at about 220 kids out of over a thousand who fall into that 91% and lower um rate. So even with the rebranding of the hey come to Saturday Success Academy um we were we were still getting like seven to eight students a Saturday school session. So in January we decided to run a monthly query on Aries 91% or lower. The idea being that we want to catch those kids who are close to dipping below that 90% and then a bunch of kids that are in that 88 to 90% range that that that is a Saturday Success Academy problem or a short-term independent study problem.

Ooh, he's dead. Yes. All right. Took out the pyramithra. He lost one and almost two. All right. Well, you're not a juicier one. What happened? All right. So, they must switch out their character. Who do you think they're going to go with the Rio? They're going to switch into the Rio right here because if they can get through Jaden, I think they just might win. Let's hope you're wrong.

Okay, Joe, any questions or comments on the town warrant? No, the only the only question I have and I don't have the updated version was that the last article that I have was the updated bylaw and the site plan review, but so I don't have that. You don't have the dog license. Okay. Yeah, I'll send that one to you. I'll send it to you. Thanks. I appreciate it. Great. Okay. Next on our agenda, update on the 40B projects. Michael, are you taking that one? I am. Okay. Um, so, uh, at the most recent ZBA meeting, uh, they opened the hearing for the Waverly Street, uh, parcel, uh, that 40B, which I believe is 226 units. Um, and I think, um, you know, they, from my perspective, they they had a good discussion. They had some comments from residents. Um, overall, they didn't get into anything too substantive at the time.

So what we did was regular messaging to try to change the culture. If it's a culture like, oh, I'm gonna let my kids stay home because whatever, like, we're gonna, you know, assume positive intent with our parents and really start changing that culture, which is going to take multiple years to get them to to bring their kid at some point, trusting that we have a plan in place for kids who need it. And so, uh, part of that was the adopt a student list. So, that 91% and lower goes out to all staff and we invite staff members to sign up to adopt a kid. Just one kid. And preferably it's in your first or second period class. if they're not here, make a note. And then this is where the Aries communication comes in. Maybe you send that parent uh a text through Aries communication.

You're commenting. I am. What? I'm just saying. Okay. Be professional. Professional. I mean, I I really like you. So, so you're thinking the Ryu? Yes. I believe they will pull out the Ryu. No way they're doing that Kazzy again. They never will. No way. Especially not against Jada. Well, yeah. I mean, that that's just such an uneven match. They put the back out. No way. They did. They did. He has two stocks and he has three. This match is going to take forever cuz the Kazi is not going to win this. And you don't know. You don't know. I mean, last time it was a full sweep. I think he took one stock. Well, let's hope he doesn't take one stock this time. Are we down to one stack? One stock. He's down to two. He's at two. Okay. So, this is what the match is mainly going to consist of.

um except at least with Waverly Street start uh discussing the peer review process and um selecting peer reviewers. Okay. So, moving on to the main street project. Um I have a question about uh 61 Waverly if you want to before you move on. Um just regarding the fact that that was a change of developer and that did we investigate whether or not we would have the opportunity to go back to mass housing um regarding this because since it is a different project than what we originally had um just you know filed a letter with with Mass Housing. We we did and um correct me if I'm wrong, but uh when I was speaking with town council, it it seemed like there was nothing we could really do about this. Um which is uh somewhat unfortunate. Jen, was that is that what Pete had relayed to you as well?

We're also working again, this is probably going to be something for next year where with the parents permission, you know, the students cell phone number on there and you can Aries communication, the student and the parent. So the parent thinks their kids at school now they know that they're not and they can text the parent go, "Hey, you got to got to get there. I don't care if it's 11 o'clock." That's way better than not getting there at all. Um, also, um, sometimes just call in the parent, letting them know at junior high that their kids not there, we notice their kids not there. Oh, yeah, they're sick or or what have you. And then of course when they come back and they are there, we invite those staff members to check in and mentor those students to make them feel even more connected to the school.

Yep. Lots of projectiles. Yes. From both sides. Don't know if that's really smart. I I It is a good thing they have the time on there. Why? That it can't last forever. Yes, exactly. Now, how time works is like if you both have whoever has the least amount of stocks loses, but like if you both for say like have one stock left, like one of you is 150%, the other has like 10, then 150% loses cuz they have more percent. So, whoever has more percent or stocks, but stocks are like bigger than percent. So, like right now, if they were to time out, the Kazier would win cuz he has another stock. Oh, yeah. That would be bad. But that's not what it looks like so far. He's at 114 with rage. Oh, that's going to go away soon though. At least what it looks like.

Yes. Yeah. Um so do I think it's fair? No. Um do I think it's right? Nope. Um but um unfortunately it seems like it is uh within the uh within within the foul lines I guess you could say. Yeah. So that that's really troubling to me that it feels like I don't it feels like due process or something was missing in that uh bait and switch would be a good way to phrase it. Brandy, thank you. Um, you know, it it's troubling that that that would and I mean I can we do something legally? If I remember correctly, we we we had asked Lisa to at least write something do some letter on our behalf. I don't know if that was completed. I didn't get a chance to follow up. Um, but as I've talked to other people in other communities, it's like massousing has given their approval even though it's a different developer and a different plan.

It really is about strengthening their connection to the school uh in a positive way that's going to make them want to come more uh and get out of that avoidance cycle. Um, so since January, we've gone from about 240 kids on that list to, as of April 1st, about 220. And so if if we reported today, we would be about uh 3% lower than last year. Last year, we're about over 19%, this year, we're about 16%. We got 60 students that are in the the 88 to 90% attendance range. So, if they didn't miss any more attendance between now and April 15th, our reporting period, and then if they have 15 absentes, they went to Saturday Success Academy. If we had all 60, I know that's pie in the sky, but if they're watching on TV, come on, man. They got a special a special invitation to the Saturday Success Academy.

One more missed rage drive. One more missed rage drive and it'll go away. He's just Oh, almost dead. Thought that would have killed, but Kazzy is close. Kazi is heavy. He's coming back. Almost got hit by that lord, but the Why did we just let him get hit by the lord? That would have killed. Kaz is not someone you want to go off an edge guard because his upbe is like really big. Like the wings, it's like it takes up a lot of room and it like launches you up. So if you go down there to hit him, it'll like hit you off the stage and you'll go straight down. Okay. So you like it's good too sometimes like right here you can cuz he's not going to go like directly under but like it's like but Kazi's just dead there. Oh, all right. Yes, edgeguarding is good.

Their thought is that it can go through our ZBA process and if it's not working for us, there could be restrictions or they could they could um not allow it. This some of that wouldn't bother me unless except for the fact that it's so and I'm I'm sorry to use a little bit uh barbed language here, but uh it's so disingenuous. Y um you know, yes, the ZBA can deny a project. Yes, they can impose conditions, but every single person at Mass Housing leaves out the very conveniently leaves out the fact that again, this any decision like that that a developer felt would make the project uneconomical would uh in turn be basically appealed to the housing appeals committee. uh which uh if you have an opportunity to look through their record uh over the years, over the decades, you see that um they mostly find for the applicant in uh in many of these cases.

Do I know that's going to do it? If those 60 um all took care of business and got over that 90%, it would be a 10%. So now you're looking at at precoid u numbers which is really what we're we're trying to get back to and then let's keep working from there to that next chunk of kids. Um part of that is the short-term independent study agreement where it's it's a it's a conundrum because how easy do you want to make it if I'm thinking like a classroom teacher to miss my class like oh don't go to the hard class and write the essays and take the test just do the package. I'm just I'm oversimplifying it. Well, obviously we don't want to make it easy for folks to opt out, but we also want to honor that there's circumstances beyond the kids control, including when dad gets a vacation, you know, and if you're great, man, you're Hawaii, you know, that's awesome.

He He died at 30 from that. Yeah, he hit him once, did 30, hit him again and he's just dead from that. That's why edg guarding is so good in this game. That was good strategy. That is very especially since she can hit from so far away. But the closer she is, the more the slingshot does cuz like since she's so far away, it does like 1%. Mhm. Like if she's really close, it can do like eight. So the edge guarding very good cuz the the place you want to be at all times is the middle of the stage. What? Here we go. This is scary. I would say for the like I don't find it that bad, but like some Kazas find it very hard to get off. That is dead. Oh, okay. Okay, we're one. 32. Oh my gosh. No way.
