professional education. Knowledge is power and we as future graduates tend to be knowledgeable in diversity, freedom, and innovation. Thank you. Thank you, Emily. You hear me? My name is Emily. I'm Chase. We can't hear you. Can you hear? My name is Emily and I'm a sophomore at every high school. And today I came to talk about how the academy system is not working for their students. The academy system at every high school was meant to help students explore careers and also the goals. In theory, it is a great idea, but in practice, it created more problems and solutions. Many students were placed inmies they didn't choose often without getting their first point type of choice. Placement award based on average performance but handed out. Hardworking students with clear goals are stuck in programs that they don't that don't match their future path without while other not put in the same effort are given those spots.

Together we can win an agreement that puts the needs of students and educators first. What do these petitions signify? They signify that Cabab is serious about making these changes. CATAB hopes that the trustees and the administration will work with us to accomplish these goals that are in the best interest of students and our members. During these most challenging of times, it is imperative now that we work together more than we have ever done so in the past to accomplish these goals stated on the petition. As I conclude, our CAB educators teachers will be sharing why these goals are so important to each and every one of them. And with that, I'd like our V vice president to hand out the petitions to the trustees and to our superintendent who can share with the rest of cabinet. Thank you, Mr. Herman. Thank you very much.

And so, we we're going out the full 20 years because of that. Uh, the useful life of all your projects will be way longer than than the 20-year repayment on the bonds. Uh we do highlight some of the amounts in column six in orange. We just keep an eye on the first five years uh and total it at at the bottom. That's an amount that can be used, doesn't have to be, but it can be used for furniture, technology, and equipment. So bonds that are used to buy computers, for instance, have to be repaid within five years. And so we just need to be cognizant that if you have a computer campaign to fund from bonds, we want to make sure pay off whatever. Let's say it's for $2 million. We want to make sure we have you paying off at least two million of this $42 million sale in the first five years.

So they uh the next section of wind time will be financial literacy. Um and they'll be exploring things like the stock market. Some of them have already done that and I've had a couple students in my office because they've been overly passionate about their stocks of losing money. Um and so we've had to talk about how do we adequately express our frustration um appropriately in the classroom. So they'll be talking a lot about financial literacy and what that looks like. That's phenomenal. What time Friday is the art after school? What time are 3:00 to 4:30? She says. So I do have um just a little something about wind time.

It's really hard to screen, but once this thing is up here, it should just follow along with where you click. So, once you click past this 6.1, it's past the initial screen, it'll bring the whole thing up and the public can follow along with whatever's great on here. Okay. But now how do they video? How do they see the board members? That would be so the public from there will be things. Oh, on the other on beh on the tab. Yeah. The people that are here, they're following. They're following along on this. And the people at home watching are this. They just have to listen and watch and follow along on their provided copy of the of the agenda. If they don't have split screen, okay, then they have to do that. Be savvy enough to do that. Yeah. So, if they don't want to show up in person, they have to put a little bit of effort.

Um and have a nice dinner. So the the trip cost includes breakfast and dinners as a group. We all have that together. And then they would need the students would need to bring some spending money for on the on the-go kind of uh lunches and snacks. And it's not uh anything that's going to be super expensive. I remember it being very manageable for my son. you know, he gave him gave him a few bucks and he can buy his Skittles or whatever he wanted and then have some good lunch with his friends in between.

Uh I live on Lyndon Avenue. I teach fifth grade math and science at the middle school. Um, and in wake of the uncertainty on where fifth grade is going and the possibility that fifth grade is going to stay, I really wanted to speak and voice for the families. Similar to what Eric was saying, I think there's a lot of negative perceptions around what fifth grade is like at the middle school. Um, this is my first year teaching fifth grade. Um, I've taught eighth grade in the past. I was a math interventionist and um in all of my years of teaching, this is the first year of teaching where I look forward to going to school every day.

It's unfair and doesn't work. Also, students weren't told that their academy placements would limit their access to programs like CNA and EMP. Before the system, students had the freedom to explore any programs they interested in. Now, those opportunities are blocked and students go longer. The rigid course structures make it hard to switchies. For example, a student essential of engineering and would change to math. As a junior, they'd have to go back to essentials, losing time and missing the chance to earn a certificate. For me personally, my top two choice were my medicine and health because I want to pursue a career in medical field. Instead, I was placed into my third choice engineer, which has nothing to do with what I want for my life. I have already tried to talk to counselors and administrators to switchmies and all I got was I can do anything with the school.

They're working with the curriculum. They have to give us professional development. Um but on top of that they're in the classroom. Um, so I've been lucky enough Miss Borman and uh the rest of the math team decided they wanted to come in and do a sample as fact lesson uh with students just to see kind of get a gauge on where were we, what did we need to we the teachers need to kind of sorry close enough um to kind of uh lay off for the rest of the year.

So get ready for AI stuff. there's a lot of protection on our children's information. A lot of people don't feel very comfortable about that, especially with who's presenting that. Okay, thank you so much. All right, the next item, information items number eight is our academic achievement report and Mrs. Tansen is going to present. Okay, I'll read my summary real quick here. I ready diagnostic 3 has been completed. Attached you will find reports showing student growth in both reading and math from diagnostic 1 to diagnostic 3. These reports provide a clear picture of progress made over the course of the year. Additionally, I've included the IR proficiency projection reports for both reading and math. These reports estimate how our students are projected to perform on the CASP state test. The performance levels on the report are as follows. You'll see I think it says like L4 L3 and so those are the performance levels that are used for the CASP.
