Uh we'll go do a roll call vote. Can we start with you? Member Olsson Olsson I. Conan I Hai. Uh Robinson I. It is unanimous. Thank you. Uh would you like to address I'm 11 at this point? Yes. Thank you. I'm was um trying to get through the text. I'm I'm one of those um nontechnical people that our students describe the opposite of earlier. Um so bear with me if I uh Okay. One of the things that's in this um item is that we are um being asked to approve the study sync uh uh textbook for ninth and tenth English. Huh? Ninth and tenth English, right? Yes. Ninth and tenth. And I asked the question because this issue is so important to me that well I'm sure it's important to everybody else not just me but as we have had um such good luck not good luck a good experience with um being able to help our students at the secondary level move from um one school to another in order to facilitate their progress and their success with academics and social emotional needs.
I'm not sure. King DDD changed his positioning a little bit. I'm not sure. All right. Sending out more go Gordos to protect him. He's got like a lot of flipping Gordos here. And according to Eli, he really likes Gordos. And I think that's clear to see in his gameplay. saying a Gordo off the ledge before sucking it up to shoot it at uh Jigglypuff, but to know if a forward special and a forward air forward tilt and more. Jeez, triple roll. Wow. Let's see if Eli can just take this jiggly puff down to their last stock. Um so far, I feel like their snake was probably their best player. Well, to be fair, their snake didn't go against Jaden. Yeah, they didn't go against Shaden. They had like I guess an unfair match against Oh, you're going to rest. You're going to rest. Oh, but it doesn't kill.
So then the ne the effort to maybe not be as friendly to adding housing um was in that at that point in time was trying to get us to to keep our heads above water at a time when other communities were adding um teachers and and electives at high school level. We were we were cutting them all and we barely kept our chins above. It's it's just uh you know if you want to talk history Yeah. That's the history. That's it. I appreciate I do appreciate honesty. I always I'm I'm still somebody that you can get in a room with and we can argue and disagree and we walk away. We are respectful of one another and that's being becoming a lost art. But you have that for me. I appreciate that. Uh Joe or Brandy or I have just a quick quick thing and and I appreciate everything that you both have done for us throughout the years and continue to do for us.
Um, one of the concerns was um, having what they've left at say at Pleasant Valley and try and gone to Fairview and then after say a semester move back to Pleasant Valley or Chico High and whether or not there's a gap in what that course has covered. So that's my concern and I have asked the staff to give us an explanation of what we are going to do in order to make sure that our students as they move from one program level to another. uh it's not so much the level of program offering to another to make sure that we're helping to fill those gaps and that this study sync program that we're investing a good amount of money in is going to help with that. So, um I'm actually asking Mr. Caldera to fill in the blanks. Come on down. Thank you so much for clarifying that question.
Oh, yeah. That's That one has a deceptively longiz. He tried. Oh, and another rest. Okay. Don't worry. Does King DDD always have that flower on his head or is that just like a map thing? I I just realized he had like a flower on his head. That only happens when Jigglypuff hits her rest move. Okay. And what that does is basically poisons him cuz the roots of the flower seep into your brain and hurt you from the inside out. I don't recall that ever being in the Pokemon anime nor in any of the games. That's true. But it it's primarily from uh lips stick, which is basically a flower item you can use in the game, which I'm pretty sure is from a different game. I'm not sure which game it's from, though. I can't believe I can't believe Nintendo, the company who made Pokemon, didn't make the Pokemon, one of the Pokemon Pokemon accurate.
Um, you know, the 40B issue is is it's been thrown in my side for a number of years, especially being on the affordability affordable housing trust committee and um it it's just like shoveling against the tide. And there's no way that towns that are that are, you know, behind the 10% like we are can can catch up unless they totally destroy the landscape of their their own community. And that's not what And that's not what our zoning bylaws were meant or what were put into place. They were put into place to keep a certain attraction of the community as it is. And and I just don't understand why in our local government or even the state state aspect of it, you look at what you have for zoning bylaws and try to make the 4DB fit into each individual town and municipality zone zoning bylaws instead of the other way around.
Uh because that right there in itself we're talking about the whole student um and we're also talking about the social emotional aspect of the student and of course the academic parts. So with I want to address the uh social emotional part of it. Any student that comes from um Fairview comes from a very nurturing not to say that Chico Higher PB is not nurturing. However, the onetoone con uh contact with the adult um it's it's a little bit more at Fairview and so the support system that's existing there is a little bit more robust than it is at our comprehensive sites. So the transition there would be sitting down, the counselor sitting down and mapping out with the student what uh Chico High andor PB is going to look like. And that all revolves around making sure that all our teachers on the same page and not only that uh but being using the same lessons, making sure that they're, you know, scope and sequence is all set.
It happens, you know. La. All right. Sister sending out Isabelle for the Jigglypuff. Here we go. Okay. I wonder what this Jigglypuff thinks. It just did really well against Eli. And now it's facing the person who it only got like three hits on last time. Well, since well, since Jigglypuff got all those KOs last time, they're probably in a really good headsp space now. Look at that. Already 12%. Or Jaden, he could be coming into this overconfident, which that's that's not like Jaden to just if if he beats one person one time, he's not just going to go into the next thing super cocky and overconfident being like, "Oh, this person did not pretty much nothing to me last time." which as you can see like they're definitely doing already like way better than what they did last time on their first stop. It might be the stage too cuz instead of having cuz instead of having two platforms instead of having two platforms, it's just one big platform to do stuff with, you know.
and and and I think that would be an easier solution than trying to change everything from day one and start all over again. But so if you have if you have a builder that comes into town and presents a 40B plan and you already have design uh limits through your zoning board bylaws, well, they should be able to work within those zoning bylaws, but still have the 40B capability of doing the things they need to do to protect themselves that way. but not just totally blow it out of the water and say we're going to do what we damn want to do because that's not right. That's not fair. That's not what a democracy is. It's called compromise. And if these developers can't get that, then they they better start looking someplace else. That just it it's really it's really a thorn in my side when we do that.
But more importantly, you shared with us the knowledge of the student. What do they know and how that is transferred to the next school site? Well, one of the things that study Sync does do is and it was kind of interesting because you were saying textbook textbook and I was like, wait a minute, there's no textbook anymore in a sense because it's all electronic license. Well, all the assessment information that's gathered from the student, the minute that they transfer to the next, all that information gets transferred with the student and it follows them. And so, a teacher at uh Chico High andor PV, they could look at the student, see the levels that they're at, and address any concerns prior to them or at least become knowledgeable of the concerns prior to the student actually being inside the classroom. So, thank you. that um you we've spoken before.
Oh boy. Does a forward air, but Jaden returning with a forward air of his own. Oh, doing some back airs to try and zone him out. Okay. Down airs too. All righty. Yeah, the pellets are quite small, but he can also fire them out at a really fast rate, so they can pack up your damage real quick. Okay, using his upbeat. All right, getting back to stage. That's good. As was stated previously, edges don't scare him. He's still fighting as confident as he was last time. Oh, connect. See if Jaden can take if Jaden three stocks that's perfect cuz then he can go into the next um round pretty much just fresh. Mhm. Granted, Jaden will also do amazing with two stocks. It's just a bigger safety net if he has three. Mhm. That means he can if need be like he has more room to operate, you know.
And I know you folks are up against the wall with this because you know it it's already written down in law. The laws can change. You can tweak the law. You can amend the laws. you have that ability to do that and I just ask that you try to try to do the best you can to to change that somewhat. Do that. Thanks. I I appreci appreciate that. And you know, like Claudia said, Doc uh Dr. Rufel was wonderful, was a great guy, great superintendent, and we would have tets now and then. By the end of the night, we still shook hands and we were still friends, but we we had differences of opinion. and that was okay to have, you know, but the word compromise is always the word that I always throw out in it is important. So hopefully maybe that's something the 40B group can can look into and maybe start tweaking local bylaws that fit into the the 40B laws that fit into the local towns and municipalities.
You know that that this is one of my significant concerns and um being able to support in all of the areas as you mentioned our our kids because they they need different supports at different points in their experiences with us as as students. And so I'm appreciative of the fact that this is our model that we intend to um make as as part of moving into this project. Yes. And and I do want to say it is a project because there's going to be a lot of professional development. Yes. That comes along with it. It's a total new uh curriculum. Um, and it comes with a lot of uh electronic bells and whistles that a lot of our teachers, including myself, are not familiar with. And I'm I feel as a board member that once we um uncover the intent and how we intend to implement, there seems to be more eyes watching to make sure that happens.
Yeah. He can he can play a bit more risky. Mhm. That's definitely the case, you know, like like the more stocks you lose, you know, the more safe you're going to play, you know, because you're that much closer to death. Yeah. Mhm. Okay. Shielding quite often. Just using these boards, not going too much into Jigglypuff, you know, respecting your space, you know, cuz those aerials that Jigglypuff has are pretty pretty big, you know, pretty big. So, trying to trying to stay away, you know, trying to stay away, fire projectiles, trying to make Jigglypuff dash attack towards him. All right. Is he going to plant a landline soon? There isn't one on the board. Okay. Up special. Okay. NFB. Jaden can go around the stage, you know, like go under the stage. Oh, wait. Wait. Does that kill? Does that get Jaden? He gets the three stock.
Thank you. Thank you, Madam Chair. Okay, Randy, I may have to interrupt you to do our hearing, but go ahead. No problem. So, first of all, thank you both for being here and for all that that you do for us. We are very fortunate to have both of you as partners at the state house. Um, the work that we do wouldn't be possible without without your support. Um, so you know, I'm I'm one of the things Karen that you talked about was with all this craziness that's happening on the federal level, one of your um goals is to to protect residents and that is one of our goals as well. Um, you know, we see what's happening on the federal level and we see it coming into our community as well. Um, and I was curious like what what is the state doing to help protect like our immigrant population um to make sure that people feel safe and if there is anything that um we can do as a as a board and as a community to help with that effort as well.
And so, you know, that's that's why I ask questions. No. That's a wonderful question and now that I fully understand it and I and it would I would be remiss if I did not share that edging climber shares a great part of that because we are talking about just English but like I said before we have to look at the whole student when student transitions from one school site to the next and of course to look at that whole body of the student work and get to know the student well that's where AJ climber comes in. Well, I want our parents to know that we recognize that their students have different needs at different times and that we are doing our best to meet the most significant need at, you know, the appropriate time. So, thank you very much. And thank you too to the staff that's going to work on the inservice and and stuff in implementing this because there's going to be an awful lot of staff time involved in making this work.
Goodness gracious. He does so many cool things. It's just It's just so much. Let's see. Okay. Who do you think they're going to bring up next? So, we have our two players versus their two players. They might bring out the Terry that I think they have. They might bring out the Terry because the Terry doesn't really have that many things that Isabelle can pocket. Not to mention, he has a lot of different movement options like his crack and his power dunk, you know, can maneuver around can. Yeah, he can maneuver around uh Isabelle's flipping Isabelle's Oh, boy. You weren't lying when you said you were tired. around Isabelle's projectiles, like her slingshot. All right, it's my goat. Wow. Okay, I'm going to fix Jason Mimoa real quick. Okay, you fix Jason Mimoa real quick. All right, they're still selecting. They're taking a lot of time to think about this.
Um actually before you answer I'm going to give you a few minutes to think about it. Okay. Well, we have to open a hearing and then we'll suspend it so we can finish our conversation. Uh, notice is hereby given that a public hearing will take place on Wednesday, April 16th, 2025 at 8:00 p.m. to review an application for a class 2 license. A class 2 license allows for the sale of used cars at 92A Nickerson Road, Ashlin, Mass. Go a group LLC. Jose De Jesus Garcia 92A Nickerson Road, Ashlin, Mass. Persons wishing to be heard on this matter are invited to attend the public hearing in person or by logging into the Zoom meeting. Interested parties who are unable to attend the hearing may submit written comments to the select board's office, town hall, 101 Main Street, Ashlin Mass, or by emailing Susan Roby srobymass.com.
So thank you ahead of time to our staff. Yes. So so so two questions. Um, one, um, can you give us an idea of how many freshman or sophomores are typically at Fair View? Um, I'm just curious. Freshman, very little. I was going to say below 10. Yeah. Okay. And sophomores a little higher. A little higher. That is correct. It becomes more Exactly. Right. Okay. Mhm. I was just curious because there won't there may there may be little transition back to a campus from but nonetheless uh um Rhonda Odlin we've been in communication make sure our teachers are also going to be trained and and also be part of the adoption process and making sure that there is communication because we do have students that do transition back at semester and we want to make sure that they don't miss a beat. So the other question that I have um so if this is mostly electronically based um what type of print materials and like uh supplemental materials are for students because I'm a huge believer in as a reading teacher I'm a I'm a huge believer in having actual print text Yeah for for students to access because not all kids um work well.
I guess that makes sense. Okay, to the other side. Like this. There it is. Yeah. And maybe if you put it high enough, it'll appear like when we're commentating, it's Pokemon trainer here to here to potentially take out Jaden. I wonder what that what's wrong with that Ivy sword. It's not shiny. That's not what the shiny looks like. It has a disease. He needs to be sued. That Ivy swore is not shiny. Unless it's like an omega shiny. That's super super rare. Oh no. All right. Immediately pocketing a razor leaf. Jeez Louise. Sending it back. Why don't the characters just like throw Pokemon trainer off the stage? Cuz then the Pokemon just don't know what to do. That's unethical. Yes. However, state title that my counterargument is is the state championship. Mhm. So like either that or just hold him hostage to the Pokemon. N against the rules.
