Uh with the referendum, we've been able to continue such programs as the math and science bowl. Um but already just this school year since the referendum has passed, we've been able to uh um start our transportation full speed again. So our students have been in school for 5 days a week. We've also been able to bring back our afterchool tutoring program and that's for elementary and our secondary schools. With that, we also have a late bus where students then are able to go home from uh using the school bus. Uh we have the STEM program back at the elementary level thanks to the referendum. We were able to add the librarian back to one at each building when without the referendum we had to share. Um, we also have increased our extracurriculars, not only with the math and science bowls, but then also sponsors such as Girls on the Run is a program that we've been able to add additional uh staff sponsors because we've had the extra money with the referendum.
I guess that's fair. Wow. And and Jigglypuff is certainly living up to being a balloon Pokemon. She's using so many aerials. Oh, he ran in. Oh, and Oh, wow. And hit the rest. Golly. Oh my god. She freaking cooked him. Deep fried him, too. Oh, and just add insult. She's sleeping on the wind screen. Wow. Okay. And that just goes to show how precious your stocks are. So, it appears that they're sending out Jaden to deal with the Jigglypuff. Oh boy. Yeah. So, I did notice that the Jigglypuff was using quite a few aerial spending a lot of time off the off the ground, you know, the air, which I believe, if I'm if I'm correct, Isabelle is really good at like kind of like getting people out of the air and like is really good in aerial combat. All righty. Well, I'm excited for it.

And I hope particularly as they fill out their taxes or hopefully filled out their taxes that uh they can see some some benefit of that. We made community college free. We invested in early education and care passed major climate and global warming education. Um we made fair-free RTAs. Our RTA has expanded and grown from that providing better transportation, public transportation. You know, that has been an important issue for me as well. It's an equity issue and it it's great to see that continuing to grow and provide weekend service, evening service and expand the service. We did comprehensive economic development and so much more. uh maternal health care uh an opioid prevention bill um and major gun reform to ban ghost guns and uh 3D printer guns um and and again so much more. I know last month that we extended the public hybrid meetings uh until 2027 and I just want to let you know that I'm committed to working with all of you to make that permanent.
Lunchtime, I don't know if you've noticed this, can be a little bit chaotic and LAS really takes the time to connect with the students and and make them feel comfortable.

And big thank you to Kelly Surl and Silia for recognizing the employees. It's always great to see our best and brightest out here recognized. So with that, I'll turn it back to President Lando for other announcements. Thank you. And with that, are there any other announcements from the board? I have announcements, please. Um I I don't know if the community is aware of this, but um I believe it was last month the California state um superintendent released um uh a list of distinguished schools that were honored in the state and there were 335 schools um that were honored and one of our own um charter schools, North Country School um which we partner with with Chico Unified was um acknowledged as one of the California distinguished schools.

Everyone's senior assassin. Take a five minute break.
Also for the fall, we're looking at adding staff and extra programs um for elementary as well as high school, especially with the CTE programs, which are the career and technical education programs. All of those are possible because of our community supporting our schools and we are thankful every day to have that support. um now more than ever with uh guidelines that are happening throughout our nation and our state make things more difficult for our school systems and with your support we continue to have outstanding programs and our children continue to be successful. So I'd like to thank our community. Thank you Mrs. Ba. Dr. Cryver. Yes. Thank you Mr. President. I just have a couple of announcements. One of the things that Lake Station Community Schools tries to do is partner with our community and we have been able to do that over the years very successfully and we appreciate our community partners.
Mhm. All right. Jaden looks relatively confident in this. So, all right. Here we go. Captain plan. Yep. Captain V. Captain, here we go. All righty. All right. Jigglypuff versus Isabelle. Here we go. All right. No jumping off required for this round. Here we go. And we're once again even stalks. Wow. All right. Sending off forwards. Planting a landmine over there just in case. Jigglypuff wants to try and hit Jaden. Ooh, okay. Jigglypuff is trying to destroy the land by by using the down arrow. Okay, I think that works better than what I tried to do with Nest. All righty, sending it off. Oh, almost falling on top of the land mine. Dodging literally everything Jaden is throwing out from the order to the fishing rod, but the down special hits and a back air to go with it. Wow. Yeah, the closer the closer Jaden is with his slingshot pellets, the more damage that they do.
Any opposed? Motion passes 50. Amy, would you go ahead summarize the preliminary determination resolution, please? The preliminary deterine determination resolution is required when a school is planning to finance more than a certain amount for a given facility. It contains the total project costs, maximum annual payment and lease term and other financial terms such as the estimated principal amount and the tax impact. Thank you. Could I have a motion and a second to adopt the preliminary determination resolution? I'll make a motion to approve 25-103. With a motion, is there a second? I'll second.
Uh, we were hoping to do that, but at least 2027, but it seems crazy to me to have to worry about that expiring, you know, and just just do it. It seems to be working. Just do it, right? It's I agree. I agree. We all thought the same thing, but I'm glad you're I know. I know. And uh participation has just increased so much. Public participation, civic particip participation in allowing people to know, have a better sense of what's going on and feel included. you know, for so many reasons they can't always come to, you know, town hall or where the meetings are. So, um, you know, we'll continue to look at that. Um, I know, uh, that, um, that you probably will have some questions or thoughts about 40B, the Municipal Empowerment Act. So, I'll leave that for the question and answer because there's a lot of different components and I look forward to hearing from all of you.
So I think that's a great honor and I believe the criteria used were um uh academic success and basically exceptional student performance and um uh basically uh I guess the word would be like closing the the gap within with scores. Yeah. So I think that's exciting. Congratulations. Yeah. I had the pleasure of um attending um some LCAP um student input sessions. One was at Pleasant Valley High School and then one was at the district office of elementary schools. And I just wanted to thank all of the elementary school principles for bringing the the students and I wanted to thank those students. They gave such um heartfelt and uh really pertinent information. And then I also wanted to thank the parents of those kids because what a delight they were to sit and listen to their feedback and um it makes my heart happy to see such um really wonderful individuals being raised in our community.
Five minute break. Okay. [Music] Oh Should we walk the red carpet again like last year? Well, that's fine. Want to walk the red carpet? Sure. You got an actor. [Music] Wait, I didn't interview Miss Caroline. [Music] Did you get interview? Come on. Yeah. Don't back up too far that way. If you're here, people can walk behind you, which is better than walking in front of you. I don't think she needs the introduction. She's the woman. She's the boss. It's Miss Miss Hollister. Yay. Miss Hollister. So, I had you last year and I was not in the It's okay. I am now. And how do you feel about the 26th year of the film? I'm excited. It's really good. Um, there's great films. I love watching my students kind of run through it all. It's such a proud feeling. How was it? Were you also in the film festival when you were in your years here in Clipton?
One of those community partners is the Lake County Health Department and they have set up vaccination clinics here in Lake Station at Edison Junior Senior High School. We had one recently last month. The next one we will have will be in September when we go through once again to offer those vaccinations and immunizations to our students and to our families. The other community partner that I'm very pleased to be a partner with is the Lake Station Lions Club. And we've partnered with them for a variety of things. But one of the things that they have offered to Lake Station Community Schools is the Lions Club has partnered with a local eye doctor here in our community that if a student regardless of age level, elementary or secondary level, that needs an eye exam or needs glasses, the Lions Club will help you to do that, to make connections with that eye doctor, and also to assist you as you may need to make sure that your child has the corrective eyeglasses that they may need or to just have a good eye vision care and treatment and having their eyes tested by the eye doctor.
Let's see if uh Oh my. What's the I'm trying to think of the name of the the rocket. The the Lloyd. Lloyd. Yes. Yes. The Lloyd. Otherwise known as the urinal because dogs pee on uh fire hydrants and it looks like a fire hydrant. All right. Sending up another Lloyd. Let's see. Oh, they do guard the uh the fishing hook, fishing rod, whatever. Oh, sending out shield quite a bit. Oh, there throws him up. Zero to death as well. Jeez Louise. Oh my goodness. Jaden bringing his aame. Wow. This just shows why he's the captain. He's just always locked in. Lloyd Rocket and Turnips. What the heck? He is going crazy. And another fishing rod and a forward air to go with it. He's just sending out all these projectiles. Jigglypuff don't know what to do. Oh, get hit with it again. Fishing rod and a forward air.
With a motion and a second, there's any discussion. Seeing no discussion, all in favor signify by saying I. I. Any opposed? Motion passes. Amy, the next resolution, and it's the last resolution, is a reimbursement resolution relating to the financing of the construction project. This resolution permits the school corporation to reimburse itself from bond proceeds for any cash which it might spend on the project prior to closing the bonds. It is required by federal tax law in order to preserve the school corporation's ability to reimburse itself. Thank you, Amy. We'll entertain a motion uh and a second to adopt the reimbursement resolution. I make a motion to um approve 25104. Thank you. In a second. A second with a motion and a second.

So, I look forward to that discussion and I will turn it over to Representative Jack Lewis. Great. Thank you. Thank you so much, Karen. Uh it is a great honor to represent Ashlin together and I can't imagine the last nine years without you as a partner. She said it, but it is true. Not every House member gets along and has as productive a relationship with their senator and vice versa. And uh I'm very very fortunate that we have that open line of communication. We're friends and uh we're in constant communication. Uh so grateful for this opportunity to come. We were at Framingham City Hall last night for um their annual invitation. I think we were there for a little over an hour and a half.
Um, I also, um, had the opportunity to sit at Pleasant Valley High School for an AP, uh, for AP research students to present their papers. And it was absolutely amazing. Um, the the questions that um, AP students researched and then presented to um, a panel of three people. Um Doug Hessie is their teacher and he um for the um college board, he's the only one that can actually ask the the students questions. Um but they had to do an oral um like response, a defense of their research. It was really interesting and I want to say um thank I wanted to thank Mr. Hessie for inviting us in. Yeah, same. That was an amazing those AP research um pro projects were amazing. Yeah, and he talked about your kiche the whole time. Um yeah, it was an amazing thing to get to see. Um yeah, so much great stuff.
Yep. I had two films when I was a senior. Um, and we still watch them all the time to this day. I show them to my students to make sure they know. So, how was it getting set up for the this year and everything? Also, how did you come up with the theme? Um, so it was actually the students that come up with the scene with this um the theme. They decided in cast three. Um, they just decided it and I I try to find my direction. My decorations that kind of have to do with all their little ideas. Yeah. They're beach and bikers. Oh, it's beach and bikers. That's the theme. Um, surfers and bikers. Oh, well, I'm a beach girl. And you're a biker. I'm a biker. Oh, that's so cute. I thought it was just beach. I would have been a biker.
