Yeah. Even though 95% of the people who go through the asylum process never get asylum. So they all got social security numbers and that that is the key. They all got social security numbers. Then they were eligible for Mass Health EBT cards and most importantly they were enrolled as voters. Oh, they that is the key. The key is to enroll them as voters. Now, a lot of them did not vote in the last election, but now they're all registered and can vote and because they paid, you know, the government paid for everything for free for them for years, and we'll talk a little bit more about home base here in a minute. Now, they have a loyalty to vote the way the government tells them to vote. Vote Democratic. You see what happened in Wisconsin last night. They're going to redistrict Wisconsin because now a liberal judge because they elect their Supreme Court justices in Wisconsin.
You know, we we're not looking to eat custodial costs um unless there's some sort of substantial benefit to our students and community, but I mean custodial costs are not, you know, too great a night or anything absorbing it. You know, we're this is really about facilitating a service, but trying to do it in a way that's consistent with past practice withh a way supports the multitude of community organizations that really rely on our facilities for meetings and stuff like that. And I think the updates we've made really do that. They're just more contemporary. So, and you brought up parks and wreck. So, do we still have an agreement with parks and I remember we spent a lot of time that was preco about I think it was basketball or something. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Um, has that has that sort of issue been resolved or is that an ongoing thing or because remember we we're there was a it was a space issue.
Four were at 375 to 425. Five who responded uh said to leave it at 325. Um question three on page two. Uh, if tuition were to increase, how would that impact your ability to enroll your child in the program? Seven out of 12 said no impact or somewhat challenging. Then five had need financial assistance or not able to enroll. If tuition costs were adjustable, what would be most important for you? Nine of the 12 said higher cap higher cost and more hours. uh 3% lower cost and fewer hours. So the half day option and uh would you be interested in exploring alternative funding options such as scholarships, paramed fund raise or community scholarships? Nine out of 12 said scholarships and community sponsorships. Seven of the 12 said parameled fundraising. So at least here more the parents have more of a heads up now. But um anything else?
It's all switching to LED. So, we strongly recommend that be um fixed. Um everything else leans towards either increasing your cost recovery or exposure and then also u making it a better experience for students, faculty and for citizens when they come to see these presented shows. Overall, when we did the analysis, um the first phase that we calculated was about $840,000 in those repairs. And those are in those, you know, need to haves. And we'll get to in a second the financials on how those potentially could be covered and addressed in a in a cost neutral offsetting way. One of those is through the rental program. We evaluated um your current rates that you have and is there a way to make more money. So we did an audit on the market in Phoenix. And basically what we found is that when you get to when you get to your commercial rates, your class three rates, they're set at market.
Good evening everyone. My name is Tegan Bwater and I was a part of the first year of black football at OS. I played center and receiver during the school season and outside of school season I played quarterback. It's a privilege to be here before you today and advocate for something I believe will empower girls, promote inclus inclusivity, and level the playing field. I am here to speak about why girls flag football should be considered a sport and why it is so important not only for girls who play but for the broader community as well. Let's start with the fundamental truth. Sports have long been a space where people regard regardless of gender, learn valuable life skills, build teamwork, and develop their confidence. Black football is an incredible sport, one that focuses on skill, strategy, and teamwork without the amount of physical contact that often deters young girls from playing tackle football.
Any discussion? Votes. Doug, yes. Carol, yes. Vicky, yes. Amy, yes. Yes. Motion carries. A recommendation to approve the out ofstate band trip for Brown County High School band to Kings Island in Ohio on May 24th, 2025. Can I get a motion to accept? It's a move. I'll second.
Or maybe not. We're being told to not. I don't know. But I believe that is it. That is all the matches for the evening. We had a good stream. Thank you Adams Wells, The Moose Garage, and Auction It for sponsoring.
Now they're going to redistrict Wisconsin. They're going to pick up two more Democratic uh House seats in Wisconsin. It's all about ensuring the vote, ensuring the process to get more people to vote the way they want them to vote. That's what it all is. It's not about humanitarian efforts. It's about keeping power. Well, you know, I thought maybe we could take a look at some because you know, John, very hardworking guy when it comes to this exposing truths. Maybe we could play some of the highlights of of some of your appearances on maybe what Fox be on Fox News. And a fight is brewing in an escalating battle over sanctuary city policies. The White House is accusing Mayor Michelle Woo of Boston of protecting criminal migrants after she appeared to double down during her state of the city address. Let's bring in John Featherston. He is a former migrant shelter director in Massachusetts.
Well, a space issue but also a fee issue. Parks and Rec was charging a fee for somebody and we were charging a fee for somebody and we couldn't quite agree on how the money was supposed to be shared or something like that. Has that been resolved or has this resolved that? I think it's been resolved for the most part. The biggest issue we face in our community is and it was actually it was a story that ran in a couple of different media outlets. I want to say it was last spring or two you might remember two springs ago where it was just facilities like the demand for facilities like fields was a big one. Um we worked closely with the park and wreck to update the field outside of doodle. We've transformed a couple fields at Chapman and Island to be access. Yeah. The diamonds out there to be accessible for little ones.
So, Miss Kay, Miss anything else. Oh, we have also here for you. This breaks down. These are the students right now. And this kind of shows what's been paid year to date. I'm just Angelina is going to have the exact number of what the possible deficit would be is going to be this year. So, um this is how much in red, right? Angelina today. This is just tuition year to date. And so um we'll have the numbers at the next meeting I believe of of u how much is going to be paid off and what is still going to have to be absorbed by the district and then uh we'll go from there. Um if you want numbers too on at 375 what will be the cost the district would absorb next year 400 we can do that too but we wanted to share this with you and so you can see this is as early as possible.
You're good. But when you look at your class two rates, which is your nonprofit rates in the playhouse, the lecture hall, they're good. They're at market rate. But at the main stage, you're a little bit below the market. And so we think there's an opportunity for you to increase that to get to market level which will bring in additional revenue. We also found that your nonprofit organizations are currently being build at the class three commercial rates. There is no other competitor that you have in this market that does that. Typically the nonprofit pays the nonprofit rate. So we do recommend reclassifying nonprofits to the class two rate. And if everyone's held to the same standard, you actually end up making more money, which is where we get to this slide here. If we take the same event volume that you did last fiscal year and we apply the new rates, the old the current rates being up above, the new rates are the ones that are highlighted in yellow, the increases, that at your volume from last year alone, you could potentially see about a 26% revenue increase, which results into $124,000 in additional revenue.
In conclusion, girls flag football is not just a pastime. It's a legitimate, competitive, and exciting sport that empowers young women to be strong, confident, and capable. It provides a platform for girls to demonstrate their athleticism to compete and to grow both on and off the field. It is essential that we give the sport the recognition it deserves, not just for the girls who play today, but for those who will follow in their footsteps tomorrow. So, I ask you all consider girls flag football as a sport it truly is. Thank you. Ursula, the Ursula, the email that you sent. We don't read or the that you sent to us with the uh other public comment. Do we need to read that? No. Okay. We'll adjust it. Okay. All right. Uh, thank you. Inspiring night already. Um, really appreciated the opportunity to celebrate our students and also to to hear about the leadership and vision in our community.
Any discussion? Vote. Doug, yes. Carol, yes. Vicki, yes. Amy, yes. Yes. Motion carries. Recommendation to approve the out ofstate van trip for Brown County High School seniors to Kings Island in Ohio on May 19th, 2025. Move to approve. Second. Second.
But thank you so much for joining us this evening to watch the quarterfinals. We will be back tomorrow at 5:00 pm for the semi-final round of the Overwatch 2 playoffs. Our Bluff and Cyber Tigers will face off against the Norwell Knights in our most anticipated match of the year. I'm looking forward to tuning in to watch that. But for now, Jaden, thank you for having me on and congratulations to those players this evening. You did a fantastic job and can't wait to see what happens next. Yes. Thank you for being here. Thank you, Jaden. Mhm. See you next time hopefully. We just got to wait. [Music] Hey, hey, hey. Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Hey, [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. N. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. N. [Music]
John, it's good to be with you. You you ran a a shelter in Marboro, which is about 20 miles west of Boston. You described the whole system as one big colossal mess. What was your experience at that shelter? Well, just like I said, John, it was it's just pure chaos. The lawlessness that has been allowed by, you know, the government officials like Mayor Woo and Governor Mora Healey, it's chaos in these shelters. There's no checks and balances. It's a lawless society. Um the shelters are set up for failure to even fail the migrants at itself. And public safety is 100% at risk. And President Trump was 100% correct calling Mayor Rua radical with her policies of her sanctuary cities. You know, government's first uh responsibility is to protect the vulnerable people. and Mayor Woo and Governor Healey are not protecting the vulnerable citizens and migrants in Massachusetts and it's disgraceful.
Um, you know, the basketball courts is still a big deal because, you know, we don't have a big community event center. So, we run a lot of this out of the high school. you know, at the same time, we're trying to run, you know, varsity, JB, and freshman boys and girls basketball and other sports out of there, wrestling, fencing. And so, I think as a community, we're really looking forward to the opening of Barnum and Norton to be able to get a little bit more opportunity for our kids in the community to engage our our facilities, but especially with our growing youth population. But this is just designed to be updated really you know from a decade roughly uh structure to something that's more contemporary reflects the union contracts reflects our past use history um and just there aren't conflicts between what we're saying and what we're doing that exists today anticipates the use.
uh you know it's on the agenda for Wednesday. Um you want to talk about it some more Wednesday or or until May and uh it's up to you. Right now this is uh this is for your information to any questions. We're out here to answer the message. Yeah, I can say just like before I understand the need for that tuition to go up because it didn't go up for so long, but I'm I'm hesitant to jump it by $100. I agree. I think um what we had talked about before we were raising it was that if if it had raised every year for the last eight years by $50 a year be where it needs to go. So I'm I'm inclined to keep it at that rate. If we increase the motion to increase it $50 annually monthly. Monthly. Okay. Well, I know we've done we've done some outreach to the community for scholarship sponsors such as it would be good to know out of the people that said it would be a challenge if we increase tuition, how many of those are likely to be covered by scholarship covered.
So, as we start to pull this together and how this new partnership would work with the city, we do think feel that the city does have to be charged a rental rate just like any other rental client. And if we do that based upon the new recommended rates, a base daily rental rate for the city would be $6,830. By the city's year five, when they're at full capacity of doing about 20 plus events, that could yield about $136,000 in rental fees alone. And if you do that across all the years of this 5-year trial program, it's about $614,700. So in terms of what would be expected from the district in order to make this work, our recommendation is that all stakeholders, the foundation, the city, the district, that they um take a five-year commitment to this because we saw what you could do in three, and you really have to give it the full five.
Um, reflected both in terms of the foremost celebrations and those to come. I'm sure of it. Um, this tonight Oh, it's wrong presentation. Um, sorry. Yeah. No. Am I out of order here? Got a little bit. This is not B. Okay. So, 6.1. I apologize. I'm jumping ahead. I was excited about my public comment. Public. All right. Um excited. We have We have tonight team board. Uh board we are very thrilled to welcome this evening. We have with us members of our building and operations team, members of our transportation team. this evening. Uh we want to welcome them for this annual facilities and operations update. Uh I'm going to turn it over to Mr. Obami and Mr. Queen to Thank you, Dr. Katti. I am really excited to present uh one of my favorite group in the district that I work with, the operational maintenance uh team.
Any discussion? Doug, yes. Carol, yes. Vicky, yes. Amy, yes. Yes. Motion carries. Recommendation to approve the retirement notice of Kelly Morris effective June 11th, 2025. This is a request includes the BBA bridge. Can I get a motion to accept? Second.
