I'm also an enlisted member in the Indiana Army National Guard. My plans for next year include taking a gap semester to go to basic training and AIT training at Fort Sil in Oklahoma. And then I will be attending Purdue University studying law and society on the pre-law track when I get home. Crawfordville has assisted me in making very big life decisions by offering the CTE program through West Central CTE. And it was through taking my criminal justice CT that I got to confirm my love for criminology. It helped me meet my army recruiter and it has set up a lot for me to like move down the right path. There have been multiple staff members who have had a positive impact on me.

Why did you let it go?
Yeah, I think that was updated on 2014 last time they updated it. Okay. And the um the dwellin was not in the zone in bylaw at all. That was um what's what's the way I can say this? It was a brand new thing to bring up the first time on this board as a dis a discussion. So that that got put in and the um site plan is an upto-date better wording from the old 214 to up to date. And what they put into the warrant book for the for the town meeting is every single thing that is in there, all the um sections, paragraphs, and everything into the the warrant book or the town meeting. So I'm asking where all that information come from if it wasn't in the 214 bylaws. I'm I'm not sure of your question, but the warrants as went through, one of them was a very s small word change.
And that's the same for Miss Murdoch's class. 26 kids. It's a lot. And they're thriving and they're amazing. And then I got to meet some fourth graders from the other schools because I was backstage at the Susical. More amazing fourth graders. And then I did backstage at the all band. I met more amazing fourth graders and I could tell you their names and I met some of their families and they're amazing and we need to take care of them. And right now we're in flux and we don't know what's happening. They think they're going to stay in their elementary school. Maybe they're going to go to middle school. I don't know. But I'm imploring you to think about all of those fourth graders that I love with all my heart. the ones I've just met, the ones that are in my class, they deserve to know what's happening to them and we probably should have known months ago because whatever happens, there's a lot of pieces to the puzzle to figure out.
So was the um let me think the dad play and um Ed Foundation trivia night. We had that on a Saturday night. Yeah. So there's a lot going on in in the in the town. So and thank you.

He wasn't able to make it today, so um he asked me to speak for him. Okay. So, good evening school board, district, cabinet, community members, President Sabers, my colleagues from Ava, and of course, my union brothers and sisters of CSEA. I apologize for not being able to attend tonight's meeting. I'm incredibly proud that my daughter will be graduating high school this year, and I didn't want to miss her final solo performance with her choir choir. So, first, I want to thank you for taking the step in the right direction regarding our health and welfare. While we are still far from reaching an agreement, I remain hopeful that if we continue working together, we can find a fair and reasonable compromise.
We have no awards this evening, right? No, sir. Okay. Um, so next up is our uh presentation of reports and this evening we have our uh assistant superintendent of curriculum uh Janina Kusalevich who will be presenting our district demographic study commissioners. There is a copy in your folder. Mhm. Good evening, commissioners. This is the first time I'm presenting sitting down. It's a little disconcerting, but Jannina, you know I'm a podium guy. Do you need a Do you want the podium? Because we could get to the microphone. That's okay. I'll try it from here. Okay. But now we know we've got to keep this in mind for next time. Okay, commissioners, ladies and gentlemen, this evening I'm going to be presenting highlights from the demographic study that we commissioned of our city, our schools, our enrollment, and our capacity, as well as the results of one of the reports that came from that study, which was to analyze the possible use case for our new property on Valley Road.
All [Applause] right. Excuse me. Thank you so much. Okay, we're going to stay over on the high school side for one more tune before we throw it back over to the middle school. Um, our next tune is a another contemporary arrangement. It's called 727 South Broad Street. And what's really cool about this tune is it utilizes a style that we don't usually hear too much um in mainstream, but it's called Second Line. Second Line is a style of music from New Orleans. And what it is a part of is at a funeral, I'm going to get a little sorry funeral if you first have the Jurge. So a slow reflective music that is in front of the family and then you have the family and then behind the family you have the second line which is the celebration of life and it has this more upbeat uh kind of push to to the music.
has had uh numerous wrest wrestling accomplishments. This includes 121 varsity wins. That is 11th most alltime in Morirana wrestling history. A senior record of 58 and five. A mile high invitational second place finish. a Doc Wright Invitational Champion. Brad Jones pack invitational champion and outstanding wrestler division one section one second place two-time state qualifier 2020 uh four 120lb division division one fifth place first time all region and threetime varsity letter winner. There's been a clear uh not just career of excellence but a trajectory as well as you guys have have noticed. After high school, R.J. has several opportunities to continue his education and wrestling journey at the collegiate level. Coach Highly states that R.J. has been a privilege to coach over these past three seasons. I don't think he has missed more than two practices in the past three years. R.J. is dedicated to the sport of wrestling.
Whether it be Mrs. Scaring pushing me to be my best in the weight room and the best athlete I can be or Mrs. Fuller and Miss Grace challenging me in the classroom or Mr. Strickland and Mr. Bart challenging me to be a better leader for my peers in the athletic arenas and in the hallways. What has been most important to me though is how every teacher I have had and every staff member I've come into contact with has treated me like a child of their own. It has always stood out to me how the staff at CHS treat their students. It's no secret that my life has not been a cakewalk and my best example of this kindness is this year. In September, I went through the loss of my mom. Being a teenage girl in her senior year of high school and so much life left to live, it makes it really hard.
Because it bit my finger. Which finger did it bite? This little finger on my right. [Applause] Great job. You did so good. All right. Well, picture. Yes, you can get a picture. You can get a picture with with your teacher. And how about your principal, too? Stay right there. I'm going to get a picture. Okay, parents, now's the time to get your cameras out and take your picture. We'll allow time if you need to move to the front. That's completely fine. There you go. Good job. Oh my goodness. [Music] Okay, if you need to move up and get pictures, go ahead. Yes, please. Let me get out of the way. Cheese. And parents, that will be posted online. We had them stand so they were inside of the camera. So, it'll be on the the YouTube. So, if you want to show a family member, My goodness.
I assume you don't mean that one. The other two, most of that wording came from the state as as different updates were requested and a new regulation on ADUs was made. And so they are um wordier, I guess, bylaws that we're adding in um due to the information we received from the state. Does that make sense? So that means the um the sections was state sections not zone and bylaw sections. Well they are our zoning bylaw sections but they are in reaction to first of all the au um law by the state and the updates by the state or is it federal federal federal updates uh for the flood planes. So because of those things happening outside of Ashland, Ashland needed to update our bylaws, but they are our bylaws. Okay. Go the the um the three the three ones laws that in there is about almost eight pages long.
So, I'm asking you to think about those fourth graders that I love and care about and they have worked themselves silly to learn this year. I could not be more proud of them and they need to know what's happening and I would like it to be decided tonight so we can get this ball rolling. Thank you. My name is Ann Valentine and I reside in Hatfield. I am presently completing my 32nd year as an educator here in Greenfield. In these past 32 years, I have worn many hats. I was a resident. My children attended the schools. When I moved, I choiced my children into Greenfield. I even coached a little field hockey. Over the past 32 years, I have seen as well as participated in many ups and downs here in the Greenfield school system. I'm probably one of the few who are still here who experienced the first shuffling and closings of buildings in 2007.
So, thank you guys. Thank you. Any other board members? Well, thank you both as always and good luck with the AP exams coming up. All right, have a good night.
