Uh, but no other state has it. So, if if I'm a homeless refugee and I'm living in Connecticut or New York or anywhere that's within a driving distance of Massachusetts, I'm going to go to Massachusetts for the free stuff. I had many of conversations with a lot of migrant families. Why did you come to Massachusetts? Well, they told us at the border Massachusetts had the best deal. Everything is free. There it is. Well, that's the reason why you came here. Yeah, we didn't come here for the weather. We didn't come here because we had friends and we didn't come here for the jobs. We came here for the free stuff. And they would literally tell you that. And you really can't question that judgment. I mean, you know, you you want to go to Iowa or you want to go do the same thing. If I were homeless, I would do the same thing, of course, because the best deals here.
Um, and so we are adding the AI powered glasses to the prohibition. um in our schools again unless directed by the teacher at the high school level. So what would the difference be between that and iPhone 16 that has the AI built into that or Right. It's it's just a lot harder. It's a lot harder to take. You can't have your phone out either. Right. Right. And so we're saying we're treating the glasses like the phone. You can't have it out unless your teacher directs you. It's okay. So, this policy is saying it's okay to wear those glasses in the hallways or in a social situation, just not in the classroom. Um, at this point, unless we've changed Well, I don't I don't know that they make them in a prescription. I'm sure they will. We do if they haven't already. You know, I don't know if they're available in a prescription form.
A54 BHC board communication with staff members. A55 deleted. A56 BIA new board member orientation. A57 deleted. Uh deleted BIBR policy advisory. 858 BIBA board member conferences, conventions and workshops. New regulation BIB board member conferences, conventions, and workshops. 859 BIE board member insurance liability. 860 BJ Schoolboard legislative program. 861 BK Schoolboard memberships. 862 Deleted. There is no board action necessary. This is a study session item only. Good job. Beautiful. On the ones where they changed it, did they do like they usually did and underline what the changes are? They they did. Yes, they did. Like for example, if you go to 819 BA, the first one, they have a company board representative of underlying districts underline. So a lot of it mostly just a lot of deletions. Yes. Yeah. I was asking I was looking at one in particular and didn't realize it went onto a second page and that's where the underlying stuff.
So, um, the National School Lunch Program or NSLP, it is a federally funded program that provides free or reduced cost meals to our students. Um, obviously our goal is to ensure that all students have that access to meals that are going to help and support them in their health and academic success. And as with any um federal funding or just grant funding that you that um we receive, there are program requirements and specific strict requirements that we must follow. And so obviously want to adhere those to those and so they come and review um our compliance and ultimately Arizona Department of Education is our grtor that those monies flow through. So they are responsible to monitor and ensure school districts are using them appropriately. So again the the purpose as I mentioned it is to ensure that we are um compliant with federal and state regulations.
I remember we were talking about getting a new playground over at Boulder Hill. Um and then that uh became playgrounds at three different schools because we were able to find uh money from grants and um so you know great work great work from everybody um everybody here and uh I just you know that's something that we've got to remind our community about that we're we're finding value and um really appreciate it.
And not only that, but when they get here, the these folks, and you know, I understand why they're here because their country is terrible or with bad stuff going on. I get that. But does that mean that Mora Healey has to has to allow everybody that comes here to get a driver's license and then in effect become a legitimized voter? M I mean that the plan sounds like exactly as you described, John, that that's the whole final analysis reason for this is voters and then they get included in the census as well, right? Of course, because they have social security numbers. They're legally here, quote unquote legally here. Now, did you guys see that uh an ICE agent has been uh held in contempt of court because he did arrest of uh somebody that ICE was trying to pick up? Did you guys see that?
And I think this is part of the challenge that we're facing. The world is evolving. so quickly that you know until a few days ago uh you see the power that it has. I mean I've seen the power that AI has when we did a a Marleene and Marine really worked with uh folks from at Advance Matt Mervvis to come in and do a great presentation for our faculty on AI and it is so both insanely powerful. Um the I mean I've been using it much more over the last several weeks to do a variety of things. Um and part of it is the I guess the challenge we're facing is for me I am looking at it through a lens of a certain level of accomplishment a certain level of confidence like I have the confidence and I'm using this to check things or push my thinking where if you don't have the confidence and you ask this to solve a math problem and you're not stopping to think like that number doesn't isn't right or whatever um kids aren't learning it that's a problem that's why I was saying you know K through eight no phones we want social interaction uh to to rule the day there in the second at the high school level push All right, maybe there's a place to teach kids about these things that they're going to definitely they're encountering outside of our buildings all day every day, you know.
Right. Okay. Any questions on or further comment on that? They've already sent me a new policy for the May agenda. So, yay. That's coming soon. How many are in that one? I didn't look. I just looked at it. I was like, equal list of this. I think this is the biggest packet they've sent us. Yeah. I've seen. Okay. The next item up is possible agenda items for next meeting. Anybody on the board have items they'd like to see? Um, I would like to see testing because we should have testing scores by then, right? On the May. Yeah, for May. For May. Yeah, I'm sorry. For meeting May 7, I'm not sure. It might not be till June. June. Okay. Yeah, I just said no because we just finished testing so I just will not get it. Okay, never mind. No. Yeah. Yeah. June for state that will be available.
And so that process includes assessing our meal compliance. They look at financial management, our staff training. Do we have appropriate recordkeeping in place? And then ultimately the purpose is just to help identify any areas for improvement just so we can ensure we continue to provide that high quality accountable meal service for our students. So administrative reviews they are scheduled every 5 years at a minimum. Um, as part of that process, our team, we received all the list of documented items and requests from AD, including the meal records, financial reports, all the training documentation that we provide to them. And then AD, I'm sorry, AD auditors then conduct site visits at a minimum of four facilities um to observe their meal services and also the interview staff. And so this year, the four sites selected were Daart High School, Riverview, Freedom Traditional, and Rancho Gabriella. Um and then after completing the review, AD provided us a list outlining any compliance areas for improvements, necessary corrections and which we then implement and follow up with them on what our process was.
So thank thank you I just I just have a quick question and it's actually very simple. Um on your presentation where you have the incident IQ ticket resolution, what month does it start with? It does start with February. Okay. Okay. Yep. February to February. And at the top it does say since February 1st. Okay. Thank you. Go ahead, Amy. I have a question. I'm sorry. Just real quickly on the active capsule projects, those will be done in the summer for the most part. Th Yes, those will be done over the summer before the start of school. Okay. So, as soon as we let the little ones out and the big ones out, we hit the ground running. Okay. Thank you. And then we're doing we're starting new projects as well, right? We are. And we're going to hear a little bit about that later on.
I did see that. I thought it was brilliant. And what they want to do now is uh let the uh let the illegal go and arrest the ICE agent. Is that the Somerville thing? Makes no sense. I think it is Somerville. Well, they they got him in court. Someville. Yeah. Yeah. That was I thought Now, there's a big difference between not helping and helping or getting in the way. And you know, Mor Healey will sit there and say Massachusetts is not a sanctuary state, but just by what Bill described, you're going to throw the ICE agent in jail and let the criminal walk just because it might hurt somebody's feelings? I mean, what what are we doing here? What that sounds like Donald Trump's next pardon will be that guy. Doesn't that make sense to you? Well, there's obviously more to It doesn't matter your political affiliation, you know?
Um, but we need to focus on the responsible use. It's good good uh promo for our movie that we have Wednesday night uh chasing childhood. It's all about social media. kids out and playing now and the value of that uh getting kids out and about. So, we did add the uh AI powered glasses as part of the prohibition. Um and that may have to change too at some point. Holograms might be the next thing that we're looking to, you know, address or whatever. The other one that we're really sensitive to right now is deep fakes. Yes. So, where you're a fake is a video where like I can take Adam's voice from the last board of ed meeting and do a video where it looks like Adam's talking about anything. Nothing nothing that he actually said, but it's his voice, his cadence, his words talking about how, you know, Jeff Solen should be the next prime minister of Ireland or something, you know.
Okay. Anything else? If nothing else, I will ask for a motion to I'll make the motion. All those in favor say I. I. Any opposed? 405. No, that's 6:30 640.
So the results proud to share our team did an outstanding job. Um we had five total findings. I will in context typically what our auditor said that they see sometimes is about 15 to 25 findings um for school districts. So to have five in those areas and we'll just highlight briefly what those were. um really proud of all the hard work that they did to ensure that we meet those requirements. There were findings um across three of 24 possible categories. So we know that there are significant areas that that they look into. So the first one was related to resource management. So AD identified that the meal prices for adults um including teachers, administrators, visitors, they were set below the required rates at certain um sites, our community eligibility eligibility provision sites. Um, and so there we see what we are currently charging $2 and $4 their required$ 284 4.84.
Um and someformational some big parking lot over at uh Brokaw. We got a lot of parking lot. Yeah. Yeah. We we got we got quite a bit of projects coming through in asphalt and pavement and concrete work. So, when you look at the uh ticket category, first of all, thank you all very much for everything that you do. You are absolutely the foundation and backbone of being able to um bring our students every day. There's so much that you have captured in here, but there's also so much that people don't realize also that you do that isn't captured in here. So, um, thank you all very much and please let your team know how thankful we are for them. When you look at these incident categories, like I'm specifically going to focus on heating and cooling, especially because we have had hotter summers and colder winters than we ever had before.
I mean, You get nobody wants criminals walking the streets, right? Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, you know, you know, your state senator Mike Jamie Eldridge. Oh, I mean, what what are we doing, Jamie Eldridge? Like, what are we doing? You know, put you on the spot. You're protecting criminals. You know, I How many times did I call your office and say, "Hey, we got to help this poor 13-year-old girl who got impregnated by her own father, and you didn't return phone calls." Mhm. Uh, you know, and then he sits there and says that, you know, if Tom if Tom Holman comes back to Massachusetts, he'll confront him. No, he won't. No, he won't. And you can talk is cheap. You can talk all you want about, you know, and take a position verbally. What are you going to do about it? What what kind of result can we expect from you in a position of authority to take care of the problem?
Um, never said any of that stuff, but it sounds and looks just like him. That's the deep fake. And the scarier thing is when, you know, um, people are, you know, putting faces and voices to naked people and, you know, or having them do things that are really appear to be very compromising. Um, there was a story of a principal or a scorned athletic director place, you know, puts out a social media video of the principal doing something really, really inappropriate. They fire the principal and you realize a few days later that, oh, wait, that was not the principal. That was, but it looked, but if you were watching, you thought it was. And so, it's scary on a lot of levels, but we're tackling what we can. As we do the this policy, we're going to add the AI powered glasses and keep moving forward.
Um, and so really to correct this, we will be required to adjust our pricing to meet those required minimums. Um, and so ultimately we'll be bringing those to the governing board at a later date for your review and and approval. The next item was related to professional standards that was um related to compliance uh training that was necessary. So our nutrition liaison had not completed the necessary food safety training. she um typically resides in the office and so that wasn't one that um kind of stood out to us to ensure that that was done. So since then um she has now completed the training and we've provided 80 documentation of that compliance. And then um this one it's you know it this just highlights the level of detail that they go into. Um this there were two findings um related to grain crediting on our burger buns and our corn chips.
Do you have any idea, and I don't expect you to have this number off the hand, but have we seen that number go up or down? Um and also does it also affect um when we're putting in uh new HVAC systems or um new any systems, do we see those numbers go down there? Is there direct correlation is what I'm guess I'm asking. So yes, I can answer that in both of your questions there. So for the first question, is it going up? Yes, it is going up. Um, and that that beautiful centerfold that I showed you, these buildings are reaching 25 and and and 30-year dates, right? They're getting up there in age and it's it's like just like with anything, right? You get a lot of miles on it. You you need to make those updates. So, we are seeing some some more updates that we need to to do and take care of to keep these buildings accumulated to to conditions and climate control.
And that's what's been going on for months with the homeless shelters, John, as you know better than anybody. And I'm glad you're bringing attention to it on a national basis because with all due respect, I love Massachusetts for the state that it is, but the politics, they they got to reorganize and rethink and be smarter about what they're doing in Massachusetts because we're not stupid here. We can we can see what they're doing. John, let me put you on the spot. If you were suddenly the governor, Governor John Featherson, I like that. What would be uh what would your first hundred days look like? All right, day one. Let's go. 100 days in a row. It's like it's like day one day I I would close the Healy hotels. I would close the Healy hotels and set up a plan, you know, to, you know, to restore order within.
