And those have then a positive benefit on biodiversity and then consequently on a lot of other things um our food network on human health on human mental health and so on and so forth. So there there is a precedent um in the A20 plan with the 10,000 trees. There are some additional um elements in the A20 plan um that for example there's u um one action um about equity programming. Um I think that includes uh aging in place. Um and there's activities that are um that the city is pursuing in that matter. So um there there is a precedent if you will with the A20 plan um doing this. Um in terms of the comment about um the governance process and the prioritization process. Uh I know that uh OSI um has uh an update every year on its website about the priorities for the year.
So, first reading, if you have any questions, please reach out. We'll bring those back to the next board meeting. Um, next under programs, we have Purdue University, um, INMAC Design and Innovation. Thank you. It's a mouthful, isn't it? It is. I'm glad you said it and I don't have to. Yes. I'm asking for approval. Well, uh, we were selected as one of very few schools in, um, the 22 county southeastern area region, um, to receive this studio from Purdue Polytech Institute. Um, it was a a recommendation from Cummins, which we are so appreciative. They work with us closely on several items. They are helpful, anything STEM related. Um, so we have a great relationship and and we're very appreciative of that. This new lab will be housed at the middle school that will be available to K through eight students. So, I'm asking for approval.
So, it it's just about um as you move forward and looking to become a partner in Ashland to know that uh while we're excited about this project, it's still um it's a lot to take in when we think about this project that went through us and all the other projects that are now coming through. So, we want to make sure we're doing all those as best we can and in what we can control for the town. understood and and when we were evaluating the Shaw Plaza for a potential partnership with that owner to do new housing at that location with some shuffling of some existing real estate there. Um the town manager as well as staff were very clear about some of these other projects in the moving parts as well as capacity issues, sewer issues, concerns about public schools and the like. Uh and that all went to our uh decision to say best we not continue to pursue that path.
Does anyone else have any questions or comments? No, I just say for the public it's that this cost would be coming anyway. So, you know, another year. So, it's not like it's a incremental cost. It's a shift in timing. And I I think the timing just makes sense to do it. Yeah. So, in our budget discussions a year from now, anyone else? All those in favor of the motion, please say I. I. Anyone opposed? Abstain. Now we have our regular smaller mark transfers. Yeah. Know if everyone wants to go through these individually, but they are rather small. Maybe they'll read them all. Athletic banner upgrade for class S champion recclass $340. Transfer some systems to instructional technology to cover shortfall for failed BCS interactive board $89753. Um a reclass to cover teched drones purchase for $800. a reclass transfer uh instructional supply from DHS to BCS for $499.70.
Uh I I hope that we can please count on your vote to allow the community to dream. Our children need something to dream during this time. Thank you so much. Hello, my name is Veronica Mador. I am a parent of children here in Alen Rock and I am here because I'm just like everyone else in support of Maxa in the Cis collective collaboration, but also to bring you a reflection. I am often in the parks with my children because that's all we can afford for free. Um, and it's been disheartening to see so many of our students being out there in the streets already gang involved. Um I've seen my kids friends already being gang involved and this is an area of hope right this is an area if we had something for them to do a place for them to feel like they belong like it was before for me maxa for me as a teen parent my child my child's come up here and said how impactful it was for them and this is again an area of dream of hope that we can we hope to continue this conversation outside we drew a wall for you of our hopes and dreams that we hope that you also have and share with us.
And then the purpose, the purpose is to address, you know, to address and reduce disparities and opportunities and outcomes between student groups. Going back to our core values, right? One of the core values that we if we go back to that slide, it's about moving that needle, right, towards equity and justice. So reducing those disparities. Um also allocating resources to meet this the the needs of our students and the needs of our community based on data, right? um and and looking at different types of data from satellite um to to map data um to to street data. Um and then also improving making sure that we're improving services for our low-income students, our foster youth, our English uh learners, our pluralingual students. Um so being more intentional with all of that work um as as we continue to strive to ensure that our our our our vision, mission, and core values are being achieved.
Um indeed as mentioned here um the number of actions in the plan is 44 and it says that they're working on 40 different or excuse me um 70 um total actions. So obviously um it's it's already a living plan. So there is the possibility of including new pe new new aspects new actions and re prioritizing those. Um so there is there is already a process in place for doing that. Um indeed um there is also a governance process that's posted on the city website. By the way uh the the uh the governance document still includes the word proposed. So it is not really entirely clear if that was actually finally um approved or not. Um but in that document it calls it says at the very end that it's recommended that the A20 plan be formally updated every three years um in order to uh recognize this change in the uh in in the basic um environment meaning political um etc.
We'll entertain a motion to approve. Motion by Chelsea. Have a second. Second. Second by Pat. Any discussion? All those in favor? 70. And then we have some data. This is an inform. Yes. So, this is our annual results driven accountability. So, this is kind of our report card from the state and special education. Um, so we'll go through uh just a reminder on how the state determines what group we're in. Uh, it is by the enrollment in your school corporation. So, we fall in the middle or the medium category 251 students to 10,000. So, that's our group that we get compared with on our scores. Uh the next slide um they take from top to bottom they take all of the the school corporations in that um category and the top 20% get five points the next 20% get four and then so on 3 2 1.
That's why we were excited about this opportunity with Tras, an existing project that already went through the detailed vetting here at the planning board and throughout the community. Uh, and being able to participate, our desire to want to be part of the Ashlin community because of all the qualities that are so obvious and um, and so that's why we're pursuing this potential and our hallmark is working side by side with the the town administration will be communication. So, we'll be making sure every step along the way when we finalize the uh percentages of uh a affordability like we spoke on, we'll make sure that that's communicated through staff so you get the uh direct information from us through staff to you about what those final tiers look like. Uh as well as anything else that occurs uh on the site. That's important that the community know as we progress.
A reclass to cover art supplies for $3081. The uh transfer for the uh public address spell system upgrade at BCS that we approved last month. Um, the reclass to cover world language purchase of additional Spanish one textbooks for [Music] $1,480. A reclass to cover the cost of potatoes for the staff appreciation potato bar on 32525 for $4941. A reclass to cover world language shortfall for teacher discovery supplies of 97. and a reclass transfer from BHS to BCS to cover the balance for CME PD for a teacher of $1851. So, we have a motion to approve those March transfers. Well, a second. We got a second there. Only three firsts.
Thank you. Good evening. My name is Disa Gonzalez and I am a proud parent of two students in in the Lombros School District. I am here tonight to ask you to continue listening to our community and to advocate for extending this important process so we can truly send our community voices in in shaping what Maxa can become. As I've shared before, Massac is not just a building. For many of us is a beacon of hope, safety, and belonging. But building something meaningful, something rooted in honesty, community, and strong partnerships takes more than just a month. Dreaming about our kids and their safety and their future during this political climate takes more than a month. Please extend that time and support SOS Mayer and the School of Arts and Culture. Thank you. [Applause] Excellent. Flores. Good afternoon. Flores, reser, res of Mayfair neighborhood for more than 18 years.
Okay. Are we ready? Yes. Okay. So, what I'm gonna what we're going to do now is I'm going to ask group one. So, this is the part in the uh agenda where we present the top three recommendations for each of our groups. So, we have four groups, right? The first group uh group number one, we're going to ask uh Jose Sana, a 12th grader at Loera and is also their student ambassador. So, here's Jose one more time. And then we also have Elana Garcia, 12th grader at CVA and also their student ambassador, right, to present. And they're going to present the top recommendations uh for group one. All right. So, let me get you. Okay. All right, you guys ready? The other one. Okay, there we go. He's the boss. Okay, so focus group number one for conditions of learning and for priorities one, two, and seven.
uh and also that uh this was would be a learning process um to assess what actions are actually um proving successful, which are not, which one needs to be abandoned, which new ones need to be adopted. So I I think um we would like to see uh this be incorporated into the A20 plan. Um the the fall back would be that there would be some other plan master features um plan as has been discussed before um that that be more formally adopted like the A20 plan um where you have assumptions um the entity that's responsible timetables indicators of success and so on and so forth. That is really what drives um outcomes and we would love to see outcomes like the outcomes that the UK is hoping to achieve. um with its legislation. Thank you, council member Dale. Yeah, thanks. Um to build on that a little bit and and to also respond direct to directly to some of the comments um the staff comments on our draft.
So that's how they they kind of um rate how you're you're doing with your results. Um it's a moving target. So we might improve from year to year but our score may go down because other school corporations in our category might improve as well. Uh the next page shows how the score is calculated. So 25% of the of our score will come from graduation rate, 20% of our score will come from our our least restrictive environment percentage and then 55% of the score comes from assessments. I learn I read um and I am So on the next slide, uh this is data from the 232 24 school year. So in math um our students receiving special education who were approaching proficiency, we had 37.8% of our students um approaching proficiency in math. That put us in the threepoint category, which is 40 to 60% in the state in our category.
um following the rules that you've set within the existing permit as well as the two uh changes we're asking for tonight. We tend to overcommunicate so there may be a point in time you say we're good to go but in the meantime you'll know everything we're doing and why and we'll follow the rules as as outlined in the permit. We do have some time sensitivities. The existing ownership uh this has taken some time to get to this point and the town manager and staff have been fabulous to to get this on. um we have to sign basically final agreements uh to purchase the property. We'll purchase it outright from that ownership group. Typically, we close everything all together and then we pursue the construction at that point in time. In this transaction, because of pressures based on a market rate seller uh and the work that we do, we'll actually have to go forward and purchase the property.
Um, anyone have any questions about any of these? was very precise with our 97 cents. Yeah. Every penny account for um all those in favor of the motion, please say I. I. I. Uh anyone opposed or abstaining? Are we all set in finance? Well, later on in the agenda, we have some bid waivers for We have to do bid waivers for things that we just transferred. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, we'll do it then. Did we say special ed is never changing the landscape? I didn't. I think it was assumed. Well, let's make sure we were covering everything. All right. Um but there is So that leaves us after these approved transfers, that leaves us with a balance after the transfer request of the 314,000. Um so later on in the agenda, we'll talk about the approval of mitting 150,000 to FY26 budget. You want to do that now?
I have three teenagers. My children grew up in that neighborhood. In that place, in that neighborhood in I recall over 21 years when I migrated to this country. I used to take my nephews to the sports events at Moxa that were taking place. I was a teenager being there and I thought it was incredible. I love there were so many families, so many children. It's broken my heart to see that space dead. I would love for you to give us some more time so we can dream together. What would we really want to see and what's the need for the people in that community? Yeah. Thank you. [Applause] Good afternoon. I'm Jeremy Bruce, director of policy and organizing with Amigos the Guadalupe Center for Justice and Empowerment. We're also part of the CI P Collective. Just here to uh urge the board uh to prolong the discussions and extend the discussions by at least two more months so that we can have a fruitful conversation and give our partners SOS Mayfair and the school of arts and culture some opportunities to uh really vision and plan for the future of the Moxa site.
You see them here on the screen, right? It's uh the priority one has to do with our basic services. Priority two, implementation of state standards and priority three or I'm sorry, priority seven, course access. So, I'm going to hand it off um to Jose and Indiana. Okay. Uh for group one um we have integrate ELD and CTA instruction to AHSD will expand the collaboration between English learning CTA teacher and curriculum especially to entering careers computer in English lang language development EL courses providing EL English learners opportunities to develop language and workspace readiness skills. Currently, [Applause] the next two our facilities modernization oversight. The facilities department will ensure measure K bond projects are managed with transparency and fidelity in collaboration with the citizens oversight committee supporting sale safe and modern learning environments for all students. Counselor access expansion. AHSD will increase the number of school counselors across sites to ensure equitability equip okay equitable personalized academic career and social emotional guidance with a focus on dual enrollment resources work-based learning internships and CTE pathways for all students with Pacific attention to lowincome foster youth and English learners.
Um a few things. One thing um there's a comment let's see this is all on the fourth page about the portion that says um utilize continuous to enforce and continuously improve the natural futures regulations blah blah blah blah blah um and the comment was that the UDC is already regulating this and that the plan doesn't recommend expansion of those protections or additional categories of protection and so I think the first thing is well we're recommending that it include Um so we understand that it doesn't and that's part of why we're calling attention to it, right? Um but then then our next section talks about ensuring that the con comprehensive plan um includes these things ABC and um the comment on that is that the comp plan has those elements um which if if it's if that's it might be true but I missed it if that's that is and particularly the our R our um B under that I don't sort of point to it about developing metrics to assess and track gains and losses in biodiversity and set targets.
U for English language arts we were at 33.7% which again put us right in the middle with that three score. Going over to the right. So this is the median student growth percentile. In math we had 50 uh which put us at a four. So in the top uh 40% and then um in English language arts we had a 50 as well which was a four. Going down to the bottom row, uh, for I read three, we had 79.4% of our students receiving special education support pass I read. Um, our I am score. This is the alternative assessment. Uh, and this score is a little different. This is um it's a federal cap of 1% can take I am. So, anything below 1% gets a five. Anything above 1% but lower than the state average gets a three and anything above the state average gets a one.
