I did speak to um Jerry in is and what he says is that and I will share this to all chairs is that whenever there is a change to the committee a lot of committee member like I know Margaret you did this year but always sending him an email saying these are the current PEL committee members so please make sure this is reflected in the PEL committee member group um and then he will do so okay So, huh. Yes. Senator CC Cot, but he says once that's done, um because in the past individuals the committee will turn over, but no one took the time to update. So, that's why some so he is willing to do it. So, I just wanted to make sure he asked me to do that. So, that's there and I will share with the other chairs as well. Um I've started my learning walks and I believe my learning walk is tomorrow.
Um, sometimes insurance also requires us to put stuff beyond the state code as well. So, I think and clear with our insurance as well. Um, and what about emergency phone number posted? Um, we can add a posted. Do we have a phone that has a phone number on the pool side? Um, and we can definitely post like a 911 number you're saying or Yep. Yes, exactly. All right. Okay. Dr. J, just to clarify, that's that's a requirement, you know. So, every pool need to have a number, you know, that Okay. I'm sure that's there then if if it's required. If not, I'll double check. Thanks.
Good stuff. Uh top end of page 12, second from the top, we have Fogerty and Hara. Uh they are changing their name a bit. Uh it's now going to be called Fogerty, Hara, Leira, and Cherry LLC. Steve Fogerty, I don't know if everyone's aware, is is going to be retiring. Uh not officially for a while, but he's he's going to be moving on. So they they tweet the uh they tweet the name of the organization and then in the middle of right in the page you see approved energy and clean sky energy. Those are from we just mentioned Cotine those are the two bids that were ordered for both gas and electric recently uh for gas and electric suppliers outside the scope of PSCG. It's called a one bill contract. PSENG still builds us, but the energy supplier is Approved Energy and Clean Sky. And on the bottom of page 12, we continue to maintain our gym fours.
Um Gianna is is great. Um I see her every day at lunch when I have lunch duty. I've never seen her in my office for anything. Um, she's she's the type of kid that we want to have in every single classroom. She demonstrates everything we want. Um, Janna Sparrow Good evening. Could I please have Gabriel Spencer come up? And there is a cookie. There's a free cookie or free card. So you go ahead and stand. Okay. All right. So, I had some um I had some really great things that some teachers sent me that I want to share and then I I want to share a little bit um myself as well. But Gabriel is an amazing young man and always a pleasure to have in class. He's exceptionally kind, thoughtful, and polite with everyone. Gabriel is a great student, always challenging himself to learn and grow.
I apologize. No, no, no. In the electronic word doc. Oh, a word doc. I don't have a folder that where is it in the regular agenda? No, no, it's in um you know where you click on the popping up. Go to features. Oh. Oh, featured. I'm I'm sorry. I'm so sorry because we're all having the same problems. I know. Yeah. I don't know. Well, and I noticed a lot of squinting, so I Make sure you're taken care of. Did you figure it out? Wait for her. Oh, there it is. Go to featured and then right here under documents on the far right side. I don't Okay, but I don't have that. That's weird. I'm so sorry. I still can't find mine. I apologize. It's okay. It doesn't look like mine. Do you find it? Yeah. But hers isn't showing. It's not showing. And I don't know if that's a difference.
Uh we're going to move on to 2.02 technology services cyber security update. Dr. McCord. Thank you, Mr. President. Government board members. We're switching chairs now. We have John Costsano, uh chief technology officer, Scott Hosi, director of infrastructure and cyber security, and James Moore, supervisor of network administration. Uh John thought it'd be a good idea just to give us an update on where we're at uh today with our cyber security. So uh this is information for you all. Yeah. Thanks everybody. I'll connect real quick here when she's off. You guys just got back from a conference in the last month or so, right? Uh yeah, myself and and four other uh members of the of the department. Yeah. Good. Yeah. Yeah. It was uh great actually. Good thing we have tech services here. You think they're messing with you in the back? Yeah. All right. Excellent.
And we got 10% which was only three times, three different categories in six years that we've got neutral. How many weak? Zero. How many very weak? Zero. Excuse me, Mr. Birmingham. I'll give you one more minute. Thank you. Can you please clip it? This is the rest of the district minus the ELC and minus the uh uh MEC. There are no strong designations here. 0%. For strong designations, they've gotten 16%. For neutral, they have gotten 52% designations over the course of the last six years. And the lowest score of a two or one, they've gotten 32%, which is how many we've gotten as being a very strong designation school. Now, where does this leave us? It leaves us wondering what in the world is happening. We're scratching our head and trying to figure this out. We come to school every single day to work as a part of a team.
So, so tomorrow um I have a pel learning walk and oneonone has shifted my principal one to just giving me the time to get back into the school with them and walk and have that conversation. Um for the first round of elementary learning walks, we're going to tie it into what happened in the IE leadership trainings. Um and so we're going to kind of have like a team learning walk and then it's going to shift into just Mickey and myself having a oneonone towards towards the end around those things. And that's my Okay. Thank you. Um I will move on to new and continuing business and the first item is a report on the grant the bullying reduction intervention and monitoring. If I say it enough times you will. So I um I wanted to be consistent in and I know that we present this as well so Megan and I went back and we wanted to make sure when what we presented to the other communities we also presented to.
Anybody else have any questions? Um, I think you kind of answered question. It's just like there there's a time that there's not going to be a lifeguard. It's no time. There'll never be a lifeguard. There'll never be a lifeguard. That's asking for. So, yeah. So, now my question will be is any of your stuff like maybe CPR certified just in case of emergency? Not at all times, but in case somebody while they're there, drowns or you know Yes, I know you got cameras looking at them, but is somebody going to physically go and give them assistance until I don't know the answer to that. I know I am, but um I'm not going to be there every day. Um I will find out if any of our maintenance or uh site staff is CPR satisfied and I can let the uh the board know uh via email.
Uh we used to have the number six school elementary used to be included in there, but because of the construction, we're only going to be doing the high school and middle school gym floor maintenance this year. from a company called J&J gym fors actually sir found them very good did a very good job for us so Donna you're in page 13 you're probably the key point person along with Mr. Savastiano and a bunch of other staff for Renaissance. Again, another push to kind of pay upfront and this was a million dollar contract and we ended up getting getting it for $700,000 over three years. Donna, I think you can attest that it's been well worth the dollars, right? I hear nothing but raves in regard to that. Uh, let the momentum continue. Yeah, let the momentum continue, right? So, yeah, that that seems like it's been a great investment.
Gabe's kind spirit and quiet strength shines in all that he does. Gabe consistently demonstrates a respectful attitude towards both peers and teachers. He participates in classwork, showing a strong effort to complete tasks to the best of his ability. When faced with challenges, he shows great self-awareness by recognizing when he needs assistance and confidently asking for help. Gabriel is also the best timekeeper I've ever seen at the junior high. He will always let me know when recess is over or when there we are scheduled for something, he lets me know exactly what time it is. Um, and so he but he begins every day with respect towards his teachers. I hear him saying hello to people in the hallway. He always greets me with a hello. Um, and then as he leaves every day, he he always without fail says goodbye and have a nice night.
No, because Go to general. Oh, okay. Okay, I found it. Does everybody have it? Normally it links for us, but it must not. Yeah, usually it shows up because see like it shows up on the front page. Nico, are you okay? Did you go into library sorry you'd think after the pandemic we would get the technical stuff squared away. Well the best part is there the whole systems changing this summer. Maybe not by choice of ours, right? I think we all have it up except for Mr. Jones. And it looks like he's going to work on it. Yeah. Okay. [Music] You got it. All right. Thank you so much. Thank you so much for that. I I appreciate it. Absolutely. I'm uh grateful that you can see the information on the screen and not have to read the very tiny writing on there. Uh so just to uh pick up where we uh left off, we have our CEA representatives that are part of the team and then there's also a districtappointed team.
Ready to go. Um, well, thank you for having us uh here this evening. Uh, we obviously appreciate the time. Uh it's been a little while since we've been in front of you, so um uh we appreciate that. Um tonight, Scott Hos is here. He's our director of infrastructure and cyber security for the district. And James Moore, he's our supervisor of network administration. Um James Moore is a Gilbert High graduate, state champion, chess player. I did that just to embarrass him, but uh he is a state champion actually. So uh no, I've uh these gentlemen are amazingly smart and also very kind and and great people. So, I'm I'm privileged to have them here with me tonight. Um, I wanted to take a just a minute. Um, every time I'm in front of you or out anywhere in public speaking, I always like to start with thanking the entire technology services department.
The team here that's present as well as Mr. Maine and Mrs. Roberts. We come together every day to make it happen. I know that the other schools are also working hard. It's nothing against them. But when Miss Morgan had mentioned that there is a secret combination, it really hit home with me. We can't deny the fact that a leader will help support what is going on. If we diminish the need for a strong leader in our building like Mr. Maine who fits very nicely to say that well any administrator can take over well well then I guess we can be teacher leader schools and have no administrators. It makes sense that Mr. Maine has been a very very partner. He'll never take credit for it. Not once. He'll always push credit upon us. He'll never take credit for the success. Most good leaders will. What is my hope in the last 20 seconds?
So we went back and um we adjusted the rim presentation to make sure we met. But specifically in this one, what we did is we had today um a pull of our rim data to date. So that's the last slide. So I think everyone has a I could feel to it and then get to the end. Um so what Brim does, it's our um reporting platform. Right now individuals go in and um they report if they experience bullying, harassment. um it captures data around where where it happens um and that all depends on what's being inputed. So this is really this is our first year but this is our learning year. Um what we're also seeing as a gap but I don't think that happens sorry all of a sudden I need to read my sentences. Um what we're not seeing as much on a district level is it being used as an investigative tool and that's in terms of consistency.
Um you mentioned that there was there would be staff on site for most of but not all of the pool hours. Can you elaborate on that? Typically we have uh leasing staff there from 9 to5. Um hours may vary slightly might be 8:30 to 4:30 depending on a certain particular day. Um and then we have management staff but we always have on call uh maintenance staff. So if there is any kind of maintenance emergency, there's always a maintenance person on call that needs to be there within a certain amount of time if there's a lockout or any other kind of issue in a unit. So there would be that kind of on call status as well for maintenance for the pool. So what are the what are the pool hours going to be? Uh I think tech I I'm trying to recall exactly what I put in the application.
And then really on page 13 and 14, the bottom two and the entire page are all essentially these are all new ads. Thanks to the board, we're getting two again two new buses and we turn over our buses. We're retiring about four of them and we're we're turning over two new ones. You know, after 15 years, as you know, uh 15 into the 16th year, we have to retire the buses. So, I want to thank the board for that. We're turning over two new um buses uh from uh at New York City LLC. They are state contracted. Uh they used to be called the old truck king. They are now go by the new name of at New York City LLC. Um page 14, Mr. Porfido engaged a new contractor vendor called Perry Weather provides software and wireless outdoor warning system with a weather station blah blah blah.
So, he is just an a great example of uh he's just a role model on our campus and we are so lucky to have him. We've got him next year as well. He's only in seventh grade so we've got him for one more year. So, Gabriel Spencer Good job. All right, Dylan, come forward, please. High school, we'd like to recognize Dylan Nez as our high school student of the month, month of May. All right. So, I want tell a little bit about Dylan. So, throughout his high school years, Dylan has demonstrated his work ethic through his involvement in NHS blood drives. He's also set up water stations for the White Mountain Half Marathon, all while pursuing his passion for running. You probably seen him running around campus in neighborhoods. He's a runner. Um, he has also been committed member of the track team for four years, showing teamwork and perseverance.
Uh we came together over the course of several meetings to develop these recommendations for you. Uh we also had significant support from district office including myself as well as the others that are listed there. Um we were had Diane Pesh was our facilitator for the third year uh and she was with us through the whole process including planning during the summer. I also want to point out that this year the streaming uh was available uh and is also available on the Kraton YouTube page. Uh and we really owe that to the IT department. It's especially um Adrien Dav for being here and helping support that. So our dates, we started with five, we ended up with six. So we had a lot of work to complete and so we added a date. Uh just a reminder, when the governing board presented information to us in January, the guidance that you provided were the principles that we used to guide the work of the team.
We have about 54 people in the department and uh they're amazing people. Um, we we would not be uh as strong singly as we are uh as a team. Um, this is the second year we've put out a little survey to the entire staff of the school district. Uh, and I'm proud of them. So, I think this was uh worth sharing. Um, we put it out last week, so it's not closed yet, but we had about 600 responses. So, I grabbed this uh real quick yesterday, but um we asked two simple questions and then asked them to leave any comments that they'd like. So, obviously we like to be rated on our our technical uh support for them. Uh and this is the results. Uh one being, you know, horrible support and five being the best. And so, you know, this is from our GPS staff.
