I think with a 13 to1 lead, you're probably not going to get those close calls. Art with the ball. throws the ball up to Law Law over Devon now. Throws the ball up to Art with the ball. Game marked up by Mckne. Throws ball to the middle. Gets lost. Raymond with the ball, looking to make a move. She goes in and out, fires a shot, and looks at Raymond with the goal. as Mounty's close goal 13-2. Uh, I believe it was Raymond. I think 22 goal scored by I think it was 22. Marino on a draw as quickly gets the ball up and over. A nice save by Jenna Holly. And that's the end of the third quarter action with Spartans up 13-2. [Music] And we're back for fourth quarter action as the Spartans have a 13-2 lead with Caroline Luke being the only one to score the goal in the third quarter.
And u I think there's a different way of communications and a different style and I uh of how they interact with each other. So I would just want to know a little bit more about it. But I do feel in the classroom that it would should be banned. I I know that that New Zealand thing they were talking about well what about breaks and in time. So that you know and there is it is a new way to communicate that I am I I am not as familiar with right I don't have any Instagram or anything. So, um I I think we just need to be um cognizant of making sure that uh we understand what the other issues are like making sure that there's emergency um communications and that also again I read in the article it's important is that our teachers are held to the same standard as our students right so that they you know we need to just understand and make sure it's equitable um as we approach it but uh I I um personally do believe that during the classroom time a cell phone ban would be a wise thing.
Coach Moses is going old school on the officials, bringing out the hard copy instead of the digital copy of the rule book to let them know that they made a mistake. So going forward, they should know the rules, which will be a good thing for us. Draws up. Ken Marino looking to run by everybody to get it. And Inglesworth looking scoop in there and get the ball. Ball bounces around and Englesworth up with the ball. Setting up the Eile offense gets the ball at Trulio. Trulio will get an 8 meter attempt. So, Trullio looking to get on the board with an 8 meter attempt right here. True scoring three goals the other night against Northampton. She takes a step, fires it in just wide. He's slow ball as Crims with the ball behind the net. Gets the ball over to Marino. Marino to Inglesworth. Inglesworth back over to Marino.
Thank you. Um, if confirmed to the board of education, will you work with your fellow board members to establish a policy position? Oh, did I see this banning of Sorry, I'm reading someone else's. And I talked about financial literacy. Okay. Okay. Where's my questions? Anybody else has questions? Oh, go ahead. Thanks Wes for being here and thanks for for serving on the board. So I think you know it's it's been nine months so let's let's go back when you started you know on the board. I think we'll set the stage that I think we were facing a lot of lapses in the capital improvement projects and I think there was a I think there was a a request from us to really take a look at the office of facilities right and in the DOE. Where where do you think we are in that process?
Marino brings the ball all the way around to the top of the key. Keney goes in, goes through one. So Mckne will get her chance after a tomahawk chop. Almost takes off her head and she'll get an eight meter attempt. Runs it in, scoops, goes in. Mcknney gets on the board with her first goal of the game. by Sabina. Marino on the draw, fires it up. She easily scoops it up, gets the ball over the line, and we'll start Esau Meadows offense. kept me on the top looking for somebody. She gets sworn by two girls. Gets the ball over to Kylie Marino. Kevin's up with the ball again. Gets the ball. Pettit. Loose ball. Oh, Tier gets the ball. She gets hacked. Pelier will start the s offense me over to Trulio. Trulio looking to start it. Back to Mckne and play a little 2v3.
Um, and do you see that we've had some incremental uh improvements in that? You know, and I know you're more on the HR side, but you know, through that lens, have you have you seen do you see that there is going to be more improvements coming out of the DOE on how we deal with all these improvements that we're trying to do for our facilities? U, Madam Chair, Senator, um, I think there are some um, key questions that need to be resolved as we move forward on the facility things. I think that the there's been a definitely um a strong attempt at trying to deal with for the prioritization and I think we there's been issues on lumpsum funding to allow us to actually the DOE to actually um try to manage the resources and not um you know uh with within a aligned uh goal so there's not all these other requests coming in.
Ball bounces around. Loose ball as Greylock ends up with the ball. They're going to run down the field. No, they lose it. Kendall Reed does a little shimmy. Gets by the girl. Kendall Reed still moving. Ball bounces around. Ken Marino ends up with the ball. Kenneth fires it over to Mckne. Mckne to Trullio. She does a little spin. She gets the ball over to Pettit. Pettit with the ball. It still with the ball. Pettit's going to have a couple girls on her. Gets the ball to Marino. Marino running around. Fires it into the middle. Ball bounces. Crims there. And Mount Greylock gets the ball back to their goalie. Mount Greylock player running down the field. Gets by everybody. They'll pass it around looking to get their third goal of the game. Saw defense locked in marking up all the girls with the cutters. Grace Rayole on defense.
So I think that there was a good attempt at that. Um I think it's going to be in the implementation and um uh I'll I'll talk about the the the elephant in the room is um I think we need to resolve some of the issues around the responsib roles and responsibilities between um the facilities and the uh school facilities administration. Um and I think that um but I think that there's definitely been progress on that. There's been some discussions. Um I think it's a work in progress. Um uh I guess I I'll be anxious as we head out of this budget year to sort of see where we're at and start monitoring. I I think that we have asked as part of the um metrics that we have a plan for um the office of facilities and also um related um but not directly is the human resource side is I think for there to be effective um performance you also need to be able to fill positions and we'll need to deal with that.
Addie Jordan gives her a little nudge as I believe that'll be W. Law will be getting an 8 meter attempt. She'll be looking to run it in. She takes a step. It's met by Jordan. Good save by Jenna Holly. Greylock quickly gets the ball into Jesse with the ball. Throws the ball around the wall. Law bounces it to somebody. playing behind the net. Can Jesse with the ball all night long? She looks to keep going at Rayole and Rayole stops her over and over again throughout the night. And Eddie playing good. Was it No, Kendall Reed playing good defense over there. Ball bounces around. Ken Marino picks the ball up, says goodbye to everybody. fires it over to her sister. Kylie scoops the ball up as she comes over and gets some words of wisdom from Coach Moses. I would like to seen her take that one right at the net.
I mean it's not it's not just one thing. Yeah. You got to make sure that we can fill those positions and find out um so it kind of starts flowing together um with it etc. um and HR systems etc. But I think there's been progress. Um I think there's more discussions that need to happen before I could tell you oh no we're we're you know we're going to be perfect. I think we got to resolve a few issues um around the facilities though for sure. Right. I I hope with with your knowledge you'll continue to you know chip away at it. I think it's I think you're right. I think a lot of it is people. People is important. I think I'd like to hopefully see that we can get some, you know, more employees that know what they're doing either through exempt positions or otherwise uh to make sure that, you know, we don't always look for contractors to to work our way out of things.
Get an eight meter shot. There you go. Nice save. Nice nice shot attempt by Kylie Marino. Nice save by the goalie who's she's been having good game tonight regardless the 14 goals you saw scored she's got to have at least 15 or 16 saves lock in LA's offensive zone met by Kendall Reed now Jessie going up against Grace Raold Greylock passing the ball around looking for somebody. Well, if they have to stop that uh one-on-one because it hasn't worked all night. So, might want to try to hit a cutter as they go through. defense is locking him down and when they do get a chance to shoot the wall is there to block him. Jenna Holly Grace Rael throws the ball up. Ball bounces around. Patty Jordan gets knocked to the ground. No call. It's the first time in girls lacrosse I ever seen a girl fall down and then actually not call anything.
And so, um, you know, I I hope that you'll continue to work on that and and make it a priority as you, um, you know, go through the your your board tenure. Thank you. ask my questions. Yeah, we're going to go on. Thank you, Les. Thank you. So next to discuss is GM776 advising consent. Oops, I'm sorry. Submitting for consideration and confirmation to the board of education rubberal nominee Sylvia Lee for a term to expire June 30th, 2028. Sia, please. Yes, please. Can you please give us a little bit about yourself and why you want to? Well, I'm going to start by telling you that when I walked in, I was so grateful that I was third because I thought that would afford me a little less nervousness. it has only increased the nervousness because the people before me have been so passionate and so fluent in their delivery.
Grace Rapold with the ball. No, Kylie Marino with the ball. as she's going to blow by everybody. She's just a taller version of her sister. Longer stride. She gets the ball to Morgado. Lo the pass. James Pelier chases the ball down. Good job saving it in, but the Greylock defenders there to pick it up and they'll start over from Eeken. Greylock does a lot of these long passes, which they don't this time. They pass it to law. Calibri chases her down but stops quickly at the restraining line. Can Jesse with the ball in a familiar spot? This time she hits the cutter. She's met by good defense by the freshman Kylie Marino together to stop it. Addie Jordan looking to knock the ball away, but she gets called for a call and Law will be out on the 12 meter. Law gets the ball into the middle, turns around and once again Jenna Holly with another save.
Um my whole life, my whole professional life has been with the department of education. I really know nothing outside of that. Um I know it quite well. I've been uh many different I've had many different positions in it. And one of the things I've learned in the past few weeks is how whatever issues I saw in the decades I was in, whatever solutions I thought I had uh created in and of myself or within a DOE are much are much more dependent on partnerships. Um, and I think that what I can bring is that overview, that idea that it's not just it's not just me. It's not just the DOE. It is the BOE. And as I I'm embarrassed, I think I told many of you, I know about the DOE. I know a little bit about the BOE because it's something we learned when we were in school.
Spartans up 14-2 with two minutes to go in the fourth quarter. Balls left to the net to the speedy Kenna Marino who looking to go sideline and she does. One more defender and she'll have open space and she just ran 70 yards and nobody could touch her. Calibri with the ball. She's in and out. She gets stopped by the goalie. Good job by Mana Calibies to weave her way in and out of two or three girls to get a shot. Ball's down on the ground. Jordan with the pickup. Jordan's turn to go in and out of everybody. She does. And she fires it over to Avery Morgado and the ball goes out of bounds. Should be metal ball. Avery Mo. Quickly gets the ball in. She goes around a defender. Nice pass to Jane Pelier. Pelier over to Mckne. Mcknney loses it. Throws it over to Marino.
And they said, "Oh, the Department of Education is run by the legislature, the BOE, and the superintendent." And I thought, "I'm going to have three bosses. That's that's just not good." But I still liked it anyway. And I know nothing about the legislature. I am overwhelmed by the job you do. I think I shared with some of you the other night. I was talking with my husband and I said, "What is a majority whip? That's a terrible title." Um, all the majority whips. The title. Senator Hashimoto is probably a wonderful person, but the title is No, he's a whip. care. Um I guess my point here is what can I bring? I think I can bring that willingness to work with groups, the willingness to see beyond just what is. I also think I bring a sense of being able to look at hard questions, ask hard questions.
Marino with the ball. She does a stutter step. Goes by one. Goes by two. Tosses the ball into the middle. Avery Morgado picks the ball up. Now she's behind the net. She's looking for somebody. Gets knocked away. Morgado picks it back up. Take a shot. There we go. And Avery Gorgado with a shot and a goal. Good hustle by Avery Morgado to knock it away from the Mount Greylock defender. Picks it up and fires it into the back of the net for her first goal of the season, putting the Spartans up 15-2. That should be it for the game. Looks like the Spartans are going to pull away with a victory 15-2 over the Mount Greylock Mounties. Meadow's next game be taking on the Long Meadow Lancers Tuesday night at home. So, good night everybody.
I have often said this, I am not lovable. People will not walk away from me or have worked with me and say, "She's so nice. She's the nicest person." You You never know. I'm not warm and fuzzy. But what what they will miss me for is perhaps, "Oh, she said it like it was. If something needed pushing, she pushed." Um, sometimes, and I learned this over the years, sometimes it was real nice to say thank you. I had a hard time learning to say please because I thought that's my duty. That's your duty. That's my job. That's your job. So I didn't even think please was necessary. I thought that it was just and I still do think it's my job. So I think I bring that kind of passion, that kind of overview to this role. And by the way, I'm still nervous. We couldn't tell.
Thank you. Stay right there. We're going to ask um Superintendent Hayashi to testify. Hello, Cherani, Vice Chair K, members of the committee. Keith Hayashi, superintendent testifying on behalf of the Department of Education. The department stands on its written testimony, strong support of this measure. Miss Lee brings a breath of experience as a teacher, registar, school administrator, and district level leader that has resulted in a deep understanding of Hawai's public school system and her passion for student success will benefit the board. Thank you for the opportunity to testify. Thank you, Superintendent Susan Ichino on Zoom. Not present on Zoom. Chair, thank you. Anyone else here to testify on this measure? If not, members questions. No questions. I have a couple questions. Susan, the Senate has pushed for years to have the board of education act on a policy for financial literacy. If confirmed to the board of education, will you use your position to advocate for a board policy on financial literacy for all of our students?
Yes. Thank you. Yes, um and and I will say certainly I I heard discussion on this before and I have heard people say don't make promises and make promises you know you um just real quickly I have two daughters one one said to me right after high school you never taught me anything about financial literacy by the way she's in her 40s now and she's been saying that for many days. You never taught me I would have been in much better shape if you had and she is in good shape because she took the path to seek it out herself. I have another daughter in her 40s also who said I wish I had learned more about it because it would serve me better where I am now. I look at deficits and spending that goes on that has gone on and I've seen within my schools, within the DOE, within the legislature.
