Shler second thank you Jordan discussions Mr. Sean, do you want to bring anybody up to date on that or just Yeah, you guys know what's going on by first read. Okay, no questions. All those in favor I on the first read Russell 80. Thank you. Okay. Uh now we're going to move that the uh board of education enter executive session at 8 8:08 p.m. for purposes of the discussion of attorney client privilege communication regarding budgetary matters and referendum issues and for the purposes of custodial contract negotiations. First thank you Joe.
So um I know maybe it seems like you were left out but in fact energy commission was kind of the originator of this uh of this outcome last night. So, I think that pretty much summed it up, John, unless I missed anything. Thank you. Thank you so much. [Music] Okay.
I'm just answering the question. So you know people talking about trim the fat have a seat. Uh I would say about 12% which come out to about 17 million because you have to include benefits as well. I did want to say, Miss Suarez, and I feel for our neighboring districts, Wayne and and Pay and the districts that are cutting, it may be a blessing in disguise for Clifton. Um, unfort I hate to say it like that, but uh that they may lose some good staff that that come down the street to to Clifton and join us because there is still a significant teacher shortage, especially in the areas of special ed regardless if we hire additional just on our needs right now. Anyone else? I have a question. Yep. Commissioner Kenova, how how long do you mentioned how there's this one-year sort of like magical we could we could go up to a number.
Not because we don't want to, because we won't be able to. That's it. Aiden, I'd like to add something. You know, when we first found out about this, the first thing I did was to email the governor and all of our legislators, and I said in so many words, "Thank you, but this is not a solution. We cannot keep going back to the taxpayers." I said how we did the kindergarten and mental health and asked the taxpayers for more money. How we did go above last year, not to the full amount. The board couldn't even stomach raising taxes an additional $120 last year, but we did ask for some. And you know, I said this is not a solution. We can't keep going back to the Eve Sham residents, but I haven't heard anything. That's exactly what I'm saying. I don't want to keep going back.
Much appreciated. Number nine this evening is our coaches and club sponsors. Primary club sponsors. Amy spotted Wolf for Oduck. Amy, sorry. Hold on. Hold on. Amy Spotwolf and Kaylee Atson for running. Honey made and Charow. Charie will sorry Granado for STEM.

Again, governing board members and and um members of the community, this just information only as we have already approved um those positions. They're just filling those positions as it's for the record. No questions. Number 10 is our first reading of the Arizona School Boards Association policies advisories. Mr. Bala, this is what we have reviewed before, correct?
Now or never. Like this is the joke's got to come out. You got to empty the whole thing. Got to get it all out there. Then leave nothing in the tank. All right, here we go. Leave nothing in the tank, people. Hey, Baker. This is on the last game, man. Last game. We win, we win the whole thing. Yeah. Then we go home and have some cheeseburgers. So again, there's going to be three of these. Three of these inside of Busousan. So here we go. This is like the first one. Got to hold these points. And so starting out here above view of all the characters at once here. Okay. All right. We've got our tank down. They've knocked out two to our one here. We can stay alive and get our tank back in. They're on our healer and they just took him out.
Um because in the end it will help us become more efficient and effective educators. So we're going to spend time under the big umbrella of UDL working on methods of formative assessment. And and formative assessment is evidence-based. And what that means is there there's the proof that if you're using formative assessments and we're using this across the district in the individual classrooms that we're going to see the growth that we want to see and we're not only just targeting we're doing the formative assessment in math like what does that look like? What does the assessments what are the check-ins that we're doing with our students that our teachers are going to learn how to it's as simple as John said you know thumbs up thumbs down but also what type of assessment we're giving just the tips to check in with our kids to see if they understand if our kids aren't understanding a certain com a component in math then our teachers will learn to target that and they're already doing it please don't don't misunderstand teachers are doing that right now in our schools but we really want to be able to get some data that we can use to say we're showing growth here this isn't if we apply the scientific evidence-based formative assessment, we will see growth in our students and that's the work we're going to be doing across this entire district.
Second Jordan any questions on that? So, just so the community knows, the board will be going into executive session. We'll be closing, not closing out this meeting. We'll be pausing the meeting. And when the board is done with the executive session, they'll be coming back into this meeting um and Kira will reopen up the uh meeting um for you to possibly vote on the custod contract that has to be done in public session. Russell, I can put you on my phone so you can listen when we go into executive session. Okay. So, I have a person a second. All those in favor? I opposed. We're going to move to the room over there. This won't take uh very long. I'm sure Lou, you want to just fill me in after. I can fill you in after, too. I can leave you on the phone or I can fill you in later.
Um, we'll now move to uh the second opportunity for public input and it's an opportunity for people to speak for up to three minutes. If you're watching on CTN, please call 888-788-99 or 877853-5247 and enter meeting ID 95687187876. This information is also displayed on the meeting agenda and video feed.

Caller ending in 134. Thank you Mr.
How long do we have to decide on that? If we pass a budget of 2%, do we have until the end of the year? Is it the fiscal year? Is it just in that time frame of of May? May 1, whatever whatever time we do that vote, that's that's the Mr. Shone. Wasn't I'm sorry. I want to go back and clear. Wasn't there an April 14th date? we have to let the county know. So, you have to apply, but applying does not mean that you are okay going to do it. So, that's important. It if it's something we're even going to consider before May 1st to go above 2%, we have to apply, which is not like a big thing. It's not a big deal. Um, so if and if we're going to continue to discuss this, um, then we probably should just apply. And as Mr.
I want to do this now and stop going back, right? But I I don't have guarantees that one, it's not going to be 2% again next year. And then also like no plan for that additional capital funding, you know. So I think what I heard tonight was that we will have a plan before April 28th. Okay. Of what that will look like that we need to come in with a plan for any number of years for how we're going to plan that out for what we're going to use that capital for. That's correct, Mr. But we have to approve to go to the full tonight without seeing any kind of plan of what is desperately needed right now and the cost. No, the full doesn't have to be decided tonight, Mrs. Null. That the idea here again is that we have three buckets that were presented by Dr.
Yes, this is the third time coming up. Last month, uh we had Gary come in and go over them. Uh my recommendation for next month, um 809 actually is the uh is the one I'm going to ask the board to um not approve the district mission statement. Um so other than that, Gary went over the rest and that's the only one next month that I'll be taking off. Okay. No, I agree. I mean, if anything, that was my my recommendation. Anything else for policy reviews? If not, number 11 is the first reading of the Arizona School Board Association policy advisory for [Music] 819-862. Again, this is the first reading of governing board members. If there's anything you want to have discussed and or looked at further, please make sure Mr. Sabal is aware or will be a second reading and then a third. Correct. For that one, second.
Still close. Norwell. Norwell has the first first control. Hey, how about this time I do the playbyplay and you do the trailer. All right. Would that be good? That'd be great. Give you more opportunity to talk. Thank you. Which is what the people want. Which what the people want. Yes. Okay. So, uh, that thing right there's going on. So, back to you, Scott. No, no, you're doing a great job. You think I did a great job? Back to you, Scott. No. Give the people what they want. So, right now with Cyber Tigers got to get control here. Looks like they're about pretty close to getting it. Great job there. Our charact Mr. Baker's favorite character, Reaper. Yeah, love the Reaper. Love the Reaper. He's a little grim, but I love him. Hunter's doing a great job with Mr. Baker, his favorite character. Getting in close.
So that's why the professional learning we have targeted on those days will be really geared towards that and I thought that was really important because I heard from parents like what are teachers doing on these days? Why are we having all these half days? What's the focus going to be? So across our district with the universal design for learning with the with the really component of informative assessment. So that's what we'll be doing. So we we also want to talk a little bit about this calendar is we're in the the process of negotiations as as people are aware. We're asking for an additional professional learning day that won't affect parents, won't affect children's calendar, but would affect our our staff calendar. And that's why we're really being um specific that this is a a calendar for our students and for our families um also a calendar for our teachers, but we're looking for an additional professional learning day um through negotiations and we either add that on at the beginning of the school year or at the last day of school.
Just fill me in later. We're coming back in here, folks. So you can leave your stuff and uh administrative staff is leaving. You want to say record? Wow. So, Kim Mhm. or So, we're going to go back online and then Kim, you're going to handle this. Okay. The board of education is back in session at 817. Call 8:18. And um my hang on one second, guys. Yeah, I think she picked up my my agenda. I mean, I had there. All right. Um um so we move that the Canton board of we just walk out. We don't need a a vote on executive session moving on. So I need a motion that we move that Canton board of education approve the contract between the Canton Board of Education and the United Electrical Radio and Machine Workers of America UE local 222 sublo number 10 school custodians.
Lang and Chair Harp. Ken Garber again. Um, appreciate the discussion. Thank you, Council Member Malik, for the explanation on the eating franchise negotiations. Um, just to clarify my comment, I assumed that was the case that, um, uh, I wasn't suggesting that the public or the energy commission intervene in a in a ongoing negotiation, just that we be given sufficient advanced notice so that um, we can um, learn about and prepare responses to this very important important and complicated document well in advance of its consideration at council. So that was my comment. I hope that happens in the future. Um the uh and I'm very intrigued by your comment about uh the expiration of this agreement. My understanding is that the uh no utility can operate without a franchise in Michigan. And so I just assumed that at 2035 at the expiration of this one, there would be more negotiations on a renewal perhaps with alternate providers.
Mr. Shah said applying doesn't mean you're doing anything. Um, but I I knew there was an April 14th date. I just wanted to clarify what that was. You are correct. So, so here's my concern. My concern is that we all agree on a budget whether it's 012, whatever it's going to be. Um, and then that $20 million shortfall becomes reality and then what do we do? So, if we had time with that, if we could have some sort of extension and say, "We're passing a prelim preliminary budget now because you don't even have your act together to tell us, you know, about this money." Um, and and I'm willing I'm willing, you know, to take the reigns on that and talk with other districts. I see there's 20 other districts there. Let's get them all together and uh and get their representatives, too, and figure out, you know, what's going on.
Smith. There is the bucket of restoring the cuts that we previously proposed. There is the bucket of additional monies that are going to add new positions. And then there's the bucket of the capital um expenditures. We as a board need to come to a consensus as to out of those three buckets, which three are we in favor of John Mr. Yates building into the final budget presentation for April 28th. Right. when you you you you missed when John had said he wanted to know what we in executive mean what we felt we wanted to take and what was most important to us if we were not taking all what was most important to us to save what where we want that money going I have a nonmoney reason for like what's most important to and that's that this community starts to finally heal from all of like the seven years of just craziness with the budget and the angst of budget season year over year over year and this conversation that totally overshadows everything else we do and you know so my perspective in addition to you know the kids just coming first all the time is to be able to you know it's never going to be over we're always going to have to talk about budget stuff there's always going to a thing.
There will only be a second reading. Yeah. Okay. Uh these, if you just look at them real briefly, uh are regarding legislation. Lawyers up there are trying to clean up actual policies. So, you can see that they're um deleting a lot of them and incorporating them into like BAA. But again, if you have the time and love to read policy, go with it. It's one of the only things we're we're here to do. All right. Thank you so much, Mrs. Bala. Definitely reading material. Um, before I move on, Mr. Diaz, with your permission, I'd like to excuse anybody who doesn't need to be here for the remainder of the meeting. You all have a very nice evening. Thank you so much for being here to our directors. Thank you, team. Make sure you get some dinner. I need like a two-minut break, President Wendy, if that's okay.
Yep. Doing the damage. Look right there. Doing the damage. Yep. Right now. But you know what? Uh, Blue Jay coming in there doing well as well. doing a good job. Exploded over here. Yep. And we got uh we got them all. We got them all. We We got to win to move We got to win this to move on. We cannot Well, this is the first the first map of Right. I mean, the overall game. Yes. We got to win this to move on. Now, will the winner just go right to state? This is the last round. This is the semiinal. So, but we got Yeah, we got to This is go to state. Yep. This is to go to Ball State and play for all the marbles. All right. From what I've heard, these are probably the two best teams in the thing. So, yeah.
