So, we are very pleased with the Lake Station Lions Club and appreciative of that partnership. It's that time of the year where we need to start thinking about school physicals and sports physicals and we are partnering with Northshore Health Clinic to provide those physicals for our students. So for students in fifth grade through 12th uh excuse me 11th grade that are interested in being athletes for next school year, they will be able to have their athletic physical and sport physicals done at Edison for our students that are in sixth grade through 12. And that date will be Tuesday, May the 6th. And then on Wednesday, May the 5th, Northshore will be coming to Bailey Elementary and Hamilton Elementary to give those sports physicals and school physicals to our fifth graders that are will be moving up to the junior senior high school next year. So, if they are interested in participating in the athletic programs at Edison Junior High School, they will have that opportunity.
Edge guarding really well. Oh, and Oh, and there's a void. First hit of the match. Let's see. One fishing rod could be fatal here. Uh-huh. Especially with how light Jigglypuff is. Cuz while she has amazing air mobility, with how um with how freaking Oh my gosh. with how mobile she is in the air with how light she is. Uh that also means that she dies relatively quickly. Mhm. Oh, sending out a sidebe in midair. Golly, I don't know why they would do that. But then again, I don't play Jigglypuff, so who knows? Doing an uptilt into an up air, but Jigglypuff's definitely spending their time on the above the ground. They have a lot of jump, so they they can spend a lot more time in the air than Jaden can. Setting up another. Oh, Jane's going to have to send him on the edge.
Is there any discussion? Seeing no discussion. All in favor signify by saying I. Any opposed? Motion passes. Move on to adjournment. Unless I missed a page. No, we're good. That happens sometimes, but not tonight. Yeah, I'm on a roll. All righty. We'll entertain a motion to adjurnn. I'll make a motion to adjurnn. A second, please. I'll second with a motion second to adjurnn.
So hopefully your questions will be robust. Saying it was longer, but yeah. No, but uh you're being polite that you always are. Uh but being able to connect with all of you over the last eight or nine years, you were everywhere in the community. You're never shy. Uh and I always look forward to if it's catching up at coffee or seeing each other at the farmers market or around town at something. Uh just having that relationship with you all as the local electeds makes our jobs not just easier but productive uh more productive in a way that's probably hard to put into words. Uh the the Senate President went over a lot of things and I started crossing crossing some highlights off my my list. So uh we'll see. I'm joking. I I have plenty still more to say. Uh I figured uh there was a reason we were there for an hour and a half last night.
Um it's really I love starting off the meeting this way. We get to celebrate the good things that are happening in our district and the amazing staff we have. So, thank you all for for that. Um do we have any other announcements? Seeing none, uh we are going to move on to items from the floor. But before we do, um I'd like to um request from the board that we um we had some speakers on uh marked for close session and they were not here. I'd like to let those speakers speak on close session items now. If that's okay with you guys, you mind if we move that? Yeah. Okay. In that case, um if they are here, um could we start off with um Jessica Montgomery and though I suspect you know the rules, I just want to make sure the public does it well.
Um, yeah. No, it's surfers and bikers. Is this like um inspired by Teen Beach movie? Yes. I was listening to their soundtrack earlier. It's all good. Oh, Philip. Oh, thank you. Do you want to ask Miss Hester anything? What would you do if I got any text and seen overnights? What happened? Um, I don't know. We'd have to talk to Mr. Hza. Would you write me up? Wait, what were your thoughts on Philip dancing on your desk when you saw that? Oh, I'm sorry. I just It's a sneak peek. Um, it was for the film. I'll do anything for the arts. Um, Miss Hester, um, I'm going to confess to you that I did accidentally break your tape. Can we do that for you to heaven? No. I'm sorry. Wait, no. No, it was somebody else that told me that. Interesting. Okay, we'll talk. We'll talk.
will get those sports physicals out of the way during their fifth grade year at their elementary schools and they'll be ready to go. And I guess the last announcement to some might be the most important, but we do not have school this coming Friday, the 18th of April, in honor of Good Friday. That means students, staff, you get to stay home, not e-learn, no homework, I hope, but to take that day off in honor of Good Friday, but school will resume on Monday, April the 21st. So, with that, that concludes my announcements. Fantastic. Anybody else? Thank you for coming. Where' you?
Keep his wits. Oh, boy. Here we go. Oh, there is a Lloyd. Tries to break it with the down air. Doesn't work. Oh, but hits it. Oh. Oh, almost almost gets the Lloyd. If he if Jaden gets a fishing rod on the platform, they're dead. Okay. Sending down another Lloyd rocket. Shielding not only to protect himself, but to protect the Lloyd rocket. That was pretty smart of him. All right. Doing another forward air and another forward air. Sending him out. Okay. Okay. Neutral air. Sending up the Lloyd. Just keeping him just on his just on his toes. Oh boy. Doing a down air. Trying to spike him. Trying to snuff out the flame. Oh. Oh, the the Lloyd did stun him just for that small period of time for him to get the kill. Mhm. I think that was a neutral air. All right. Up tilt into neutral air.
Uh so as the Senate President said, great uncertainty from DC, irresponsibility especially around how government is funded. Uh I think the state is trying to prepare itself for what may be coming down the pike. Uh financially, especially given the uncertainty, but a lot of the laws we put into place, a lot of our deeply held values are coming under attack. Uh and we don't know what next Supreme Court case will be coming and what that means for Massachusetts. uh two years ago we tweaked our gun safety laws because of a Supreme Court case. I think the next one on gun safety may make that one look minor in in comparison. Uh so preparing for that, trying to to protect residents as much as we can. Uh what that means is as a state we're going to have to continue to be the adults, be responsible in our budgeting.
You have three minutes. There's a timer back there. Uh we um will give you a 30 second warning or notice just so you stay on track. Perfect. Thank you. Thank you. Good evening, members of the board. I stand before you today as a concerned parent, citizen, and advocate for parental rights, constitutional integrity, and the mental health and well-being of our children. And in support of Aurora Regina, a mother who has had to fight this board tooth and nail to protect her child. Let me be clear. CUSD board members active support of secretive policies that exclude parents when a child is struggling with gender dysphoria is not only unethical, it violates federal law, including Furpa, which is why you are now in litigation for thousands of dollars. More importantly, it undermines the federal constitutional right of parents to direct the upbringing, education, and care of their children.
Okay, I'm going to let you go, Miss Huster. I'm going to try to get more people. You look lovely today. And have a nice day. Good thing this is um who do you like to introduce yourself? Um uh I'm Elijah Valentin. And who do you play? Um I play That's a good question. I kind of forgot. I'm kind of just here. Boy you knew. Yeah. Oh yeah. The boy you knew. The boy you knew. The boy you knew. The boy you knew. He's actually one of the main actors. I did not help produce, but I did help with the clothing. How was that? Oh, it was actually amazing. Like, I love every outfit that I wore throughout the whole film. I'm sorry I couldn't get you more options. It's You see, I'm not a boy, so like I only had minimal options. Oh, yeah. I feel I understand.
Quite quite powerful. And you guys can see and another upill into up. Jeez. Over over there. I think I I'm pointing in the right direction. Jaden is locked in like he's just locked in. Just stonefaced lock in right there. Yeah. Past him and the icons. All righty. Sending out a variety of moves. Okay. Jaden's barely gotten hit this game. And another down air. I feel like that got hit twice. Two or three times. I feel like that first stalk he got on kind of just messed with Jigglypuff's mind. like just like demoralize them. Yeah. It's just like just not getting hits until like halfway through your second stock is just it's just brutal. Yeah. For the mental. Mhm. Oh boy. Oh, trying to keep trying to get a hit on Jaden. But there but this fishing rod is just so powerful. He gets the kill.
Uh the governor's budget came out a couple months ago, 62 billion. Uh the House Ways and Means budget just came out seven hours ago. Uh so I've literally spent the last seven hours trying to wrap my mind around it. Uh the Ways and Means budgets come came out just under the governor's proposal. Uh the main reason is the House isn't including any tax increases or additional tax increases uh in in their version of the budget. Uh we're going to take up debate in about a week. Uh so we have until Friday to file amendments. So there there may be attempts to cut taxes more or increase taxes more. Most of the debate will be around uh line items and and local earmarks. Uh but you were against the tax on pharmaceutical products or candy. Uh Easter's around the corner. Uh the house eliminated those at least from uh their ways and means version of the budget uh budget.
I have your oaths, which I had requested as well through FOYA to uphold the constitution, oaths which you are currently failing to honor. This board majority has chosen to operate in secrecy with scripted platitudes and behind closed doors. I took the initiative to file a foyer request to bring transparency where you refused to provide it. The Chico Unified School District is not in possession of any records as described in my request. The number of reports of violence or sexual assault against any school age minor of the LGBTQ community within the past 5 years at CUSD. The number of reports of sexual assault or violence perpetrated by a CUSD minor of the LGBT community within the last 5 years onto another student. the number of reports submitted by students regarding abuse by their parents or guardians to school authorities, including a breakdown of how many of those reports were made by LGBTQ students within the last five years.
And how was it filming behind the scenes? Behind the scenes, I actually like loved like the crew like hanging out with everybody and actually filming was like really fun. How was it working with What's your face? Heaven. No, not heaven. Oh, Sabrine. Yes, her the baddie. The girl in crime for um it was actually a lot of fun. Um after she started to open up and was very open to being in the film, it was a lot of fun. The chemistry was very nice. I don't know if you knew, but me and Philip were all like they're definitely something. But no guys, the chemistry makes you feel like I think personally The Boy You Knew is one of the most cinematic um films. And is there anything that you want to tell them or you're excited to see other than your when when the B you knew is on?
He just just the restocking. Headbanging as well. Lots of lots of applause coming from the other room. And who could blame them? That was crazy. Goodness gracious. Jaden asserting his dominance. Who's this person? Who's that person? Manurva. Yeah, I have no clue who they are. I'm not sure, but thanks for checking out the stream. Oh boy. Okay. Well, who are they going to send out now? From what I know, they don't have a nest on their team, but it'd be cool if they had one anyways. I don't think I think their last character is like either a 10. Um. Oh, Mega Man. Oh, wow. Mega Man. Okay, here we go. Jaden, you need to press the A button. Okay, you pressed the A button. Good for him. All righty. Loading it up. All right. Isabelle versus Mega Man. No jumping off the stage needed. All righty.
Uh when it comes to Ashland, the house um increased uh the chapter 70 public education funding. Last year, I think the final number was around 11.5 million. Uh the House uh budget has that about 12 million. Uh so a slight increase over last year. Uh but as the Senate President said with 16 mil billion or about 25% of the budget coming from the feds one way or another, we have to be prepared for what might be coming. So, we're going to pass a budget and as always, we're going to stay nimble uh and stay responsible, especially as uh tax revenues come in over the next year and threats of uh closing of financial pathways uh hopefully, well, hopefully not materialize. Uh when it comes to uh the fair share amendment, I know some of us have discussed that a lot over the last eight, nine years.
The number of LGBTQ suicides reported within the district during the last 5 years, the total number of suicides reported within the district during the past 5 years. The data is not vague. Research consistently shows that individuals experience gender dysphoria face significantly elevated risk for mental health issues. Depression at 35 to 70%, anxiety at 30 to 60%, suicidal ideiation or attempts upwards of 40%, substance abuse significantly higher than the general population. These are not political talking points. These are medical realities. Yet, this board has adopted an ideological stance that assumes you are more qualified than actual parents like Aurora to make mental health decisions for children. This is not only insulting, it's legally indefensible. Your decisions rested on insufficient evidence of false dilemma between secrecy and support and an overly strict ideological standard with no legal or scientific basis. Tom Lando, you're a self-proclaimed history teacher who has publicly shamed parents about not having any skin in the game if they don't have a trans child.

Okay. All right. Doing a dash tag a forward air and playing. We are next in the lead. We We have two players compared to the one. Mhm. Oh, look at that. Launching.
