uh they receive an email and a text message. Um there are multiple types of categories um for the system. Uh and they rank it based on severity. Um I believe in self harm there's about five of them and in harm to others I want to say there's four. Um and so the more severe the alert uh they'll categorize that higher. Uh we send an email and a text message for each of those categories. uh administrators receive a text message and an email multiple times. I believe they get that repeated five times uh once an hour until the alert's addressed. So if they don't pick up the first time, it will they will they will remind them. Okay. Thank you. We are uh just now we have the ability to actually pull all of that data uh out of GoG Guardian and so uh Ryan Nelson and his uh amazing data team are going to take that and create some vis visualizations say that word for us and we're going to look at that and then we're going to share that with the appropriate uh uh people um to just look at that data because it gives a little bit of a snapshot right so um Goggardian teacher is a component that we haven't paid for um So years ago, um, we used a different product and it had that ability for teachers to basically, um, shut down or monitor, if you will, the devices in the classrooms, only allowing the the students to go to certain websites, uh, and some different features it had.
Hearing none. Motion passes. That brings us to item 3B, which is the adoption of the revised budget. I move the governing board adopt the revised number three total aggregate school district budget per ARS15-905 and specifically 15-905E1 for fiscal year 2425 as corrected second. Thank you, Miss Ess. All those in favor? I I I Miss Hartis, does this have to be a roll call vote since it's a budget? Okay. I Any Nays hearing? None. Motion passes. And that brings us to our governing board reports. Miss Marquez, would you like to lead us in our board reports? Sure. Um I want to send out a huge thank you to Mr. Ivan Carvajal and his team. Um, we attended the volunteer lunchon on Friday and this is my third one that I've been able to attend in the district. And man, they always do such a great job.
Um, we were paying for that from the district level. It was very, very expensive. Um, when we ran data on that, it was really not being used as well. Um, so we made a cabinet level decision to um, not provide that. But if a school wanted to provide that component, then they had to pay for that piece of it. Um, it does other things. I think everyone here was at policy meeting, but you heard very clearly from from our principles in there that, you know, a lot of it's classroom management, right? Um, for sure. Um, but if we can add this component at a minimal cost to us, then maybe we should look at it again. I know we talk cell phones and that new bill that's out there. Um, so you know, devices connected to the network, you know, Chromebooks fall into that to that bill.
Um, you know, beautiful theme. Everybody was was uh well welcome and fed and taken care of and looking cute. Um, so and it was really encouraging. I believe last year because they I love that they put the number of hours that the volunteers have given. So I think last year we're about 8,000 and this year about 10,500. So that's that's really exciting because obviously the more that parents and community can be involved um you know the the more fun and and better outcomes we get for our kids. Um I think and also I failed to mention this at the last meeting but another shout out to Mr. Ivon Carvajal and his team for putting together the um the PTO uh quarterly meetings districtwide. So it's great as a PTO mom to come together and and see all the other PTO parents and share some tips and advice and uh commiserate as needed.
So, um, but GoG Guardian has been expensive, right? And that was at $5 a student that the schools were having to pay. So, we only have about 11ish schools right now that have actually paid for that um based on that. That was their decision out of their school budget. Um, we've done some talking with GoG Guardian um, recently um, and let them know, you know, they really need to look at their pricing structure. Um, for the next school year, they're going to put that component into our pricing, however, um, basically at no cost. So, next school year, uh, every teacher will have that ability to monitor those devices in the classroom. Um there's a lot of discussion that still needs to go uh or needs to be had around that. Um we can phase that in which we probably will so we can train on it and manage that.
Um, so thank you again and I believe that's it. Thank you, Miss Marquez. Mr. Jones, thank you. Yes. Uh for anyone who wasn't here earlier uh I was I have had the good fortune of attending the uh Kraton students Kraton student congress's visit to the Camelback Monastery program and their key club and uh getting to learn all about that and getting to witness the uh Kraton students uh interacting with the high school students and learning about the program and uh finding out that there were former Kraton students in that Camelback Monasuri program just a really great um collaboration to witness and how we're going to ex learning from superintendent man how we're going to expand it a little bit for next year um and also I was able to attend the volunteer lunchon put on my Mr. Kahal thank you uh great community event uh probably the best one I've seen so far thank you Mr.
Um but it really is a philosophical thing, right? Um if it's just they just lock out the devices, I don't know that's really exactly what we want because really it's still classroom management, right? Um, but there are other tools with that component that they could could be very valuable, uh, to the teacher in the classroom. And so, um, we're going to approach the training kind of around that, not just a here's your block tool so kids can get on your Chromebooks. So, that's how we're going to approach that. Um, but we're excited that they are actually including that. It'll take the burden off the schools as well if they just decided they want to pay for that. So, um, so it's a one-year trial, correct? No, not a trial. They're adding that to the actual our agreement. Yeah. For 5 years for this one's for three.
Jones, Miss Ays, thank you. First of all, I want to say happy principal's day last week to all of our principles and a huge shout out to our teachers for teacher appreciation week this week. Um, I've been teaching for quite some time and this year I took a different role being a behavior specialist and I literally don't come home like tired anymore because I don't have a classroom full of kids like sucking the energy out of me like all day long. So, I really do appreciate you because I feel like that probably was the hardest job that I've ever had to do. Um, so thank you so much for everything you do um in educating our students. Um, I am so sorry that I missed Friday. Um, I was acting admin at our site and thankfully I stayed because there was a lot of stuff that happened that day.
Okay. So, yeah. So, that price there, that's a total for 3 years. The 1799 is annual payment. So, we'll pay it annually. And then did they give you a cost for after that? No, they're not going to go out that far. Absolutely not. Well, that's my concern is we get the teachers in there for 3 years, they decide, okay, we really like this, and then they hit us with a big number to continue it, and now we've got a bunch of angry teachers when we turn around and say, hey, wait a second, it's not in our budget. So, that's just my concern. Yeah. No, I I understand that. Um, I understand that. I mean, I don't want to say it's part of the game, right? But with software, we just we can't tell. Um, and to lock it in for longer than that, I don't know that we would.
Um, hopefully preparing me to become an admin someday. Um, and I think that's it. Thank you, Miss Ays. Yes. Um, all the awesome things. The one thing that I can't remember is, uh, Mr. Carvajal, do you remember how much the volunteer hours equated to dollars? Wasn't it over like 2 250,000? Yeah. So, that's awesome to see how much the school district community put in when it comes to monetizing. It was over $250,000 worth of work that all these wonderful volunteers, including ourselves on the board, have contributed to the district. So, that's just awesome to see. And also, um, yes, big shout out and appreciation to all the teachers. Um, it was the specific teacher that I had in fifth grade that probably got me started to seeing the full potential that I had. So, I know how impactful just having one adult, caring adult um, is.
the security stuff's a little different. I don't know that we'd want to lock this in for more than that because there may be another product that improves or new that might be better to go to. But yeah, I I totally understand what you're coming from with that. When we when we roll it out, can we just make sure that teachers know that this is like a hard three years and then we have to re-evaluate it when it comes time? Cuz I just know from a teacher standpoint, a lot of times we get stuff and they're like, "It's yours now." And then you find out it's it's not and then that just tends to create that air of gh that's not Yes. Thank you. not great. Sure. And and I think a a part of that message is is that here's what we can control and here's what we can't control.
And that for me was Miss Porter that I wish I could reconnect with her nowadays. And she's the one that kind of started my opening my eyes to what, you know, Sophia could do. So, I know you guys are imperative to our students and love everything that you guys do. So, I appreciate you guys and our principles, too, of course. And with that, I will turn it over to Mr. Man for his superintendent report. Thank you, Madam President. Um, I think I'll just cuz we're on the topic, thank you teachers. What you do is hard, but what you do makes a difference. And despite what you may hear sort of in the, you know, conversations that come from the legislature and the media and all of these other places about, you know, what the state of our schools is and teachers, um, they should spend some time in our classrooms before they make those comments because what I see from from you each day is care and love and support and not just teaching, but learning happening in our classrooms.
Same thing when states have requirements for certifications. all of a sudden everybody's scrambling to get the literacy endorsement and then it just takes one legislature, you know, session to actually cancel out the $1.5 million we spent to train everybody. And so I totally understand that, but we try to message it in the sense that this is what we have for the next x amount of years. We we don't want it to change, but that's a possibility. So yeah. Yeah. Well, hope hopefully also it's it's not a burden on teachers, right? I mean, hopefully it's something that they can have for years, but even if they have it for just three years, that it's a tool that they'd have for three years to help them. Um, I think they'll be happy. Yeah. And and it sounds like we got it for free, not because they just came out and gave it to us, but through some negotiation, right?
And I know we've asked a lot more over the last two years. Um, but one of the things that we're really trying to do is also bring some more support behind that as well. So, know that we appreciate you. Um, know that we know how hard you work and know that we're here to support you and if if there's, you know, ever an opportunity to share with us how we can be of better service to you, we are always, you know, happy to have that conversation with you. So, and and hopefully be able to provide more. I um genuinely the thing that's most important to me and the reason I serve in this role is to try to support you as best I can. So, thank you for what you do every day. Um I want to echo um Mr. Jones comments about the Kraton Kids Congress um visit at Camelback was just outstanding.
So, in 3 years, we can renegotiate that again. There's a lot of these companies out there, they have to be competitive, right? Yeah. So, yeah. Yeah. when and when and how does that training happen for teachers? So, we'll so the um so our TAI team, our technology integration educators that Sean Abia manages that team. Um so her team, they're all assigned to a school. So they have to meet with their principles end of year, beginning a year as part of their process. So that's on their list to discuss at the uh here in probably a week or so when they all meet with them, start discussing that. then they'll meet again to be meeting of the year and then we'll kind of cater to the school on that. Any other questions? That's all we have. I know that was a lot. Sorry, our slide number was low.
And you know, we've been talking a lot um over the last probably about week and a half or so about how presence matters. And so this kind of dovetales with how important our teachers are, their presence in the classroom with our students matters. I know we've got an outstanding question um from a board member related to student attendance and student attendance in the classroom is part of their presence and that matters. But the way that that opportunity came together for Camelback High School or with Camelback High School is because of us making certain that we have people that are in those spaces to have those conversations about those opportunities. So that way we can form those partnerships and bring more to the district for our students. And you see that through the volunteer work that happens um with our community education department and at our school sites.
Our talk time was apologize. I've got I've got a question. So, these there's some amazing tools that we get to use uh teachers and students get to use during the school day. Are any of these tools available to or or benefits of these tools available to parents at home? For example, are there any software tools that can be loaded onto a phone that goes a a phone or a home computer that parents can use because they have a student at GPS. They get the they get this benefit that they can have this this security feature on their home computer on their kids' phone for free outside of school. Sure. So, um phone and home computers, I mean, we that's really nothing, not that we don't want to touch, but there's nothing that presents itself to us that we could pass on, right? Like Microsoft, if you're a student, you could use the license free.
Um, so the more we can do that, the better. And so that's obviously something that we will absolutely continue to focus on. But seeing our students thrive and seeing the students who have moved on from us to Camelback that are in that program. A fair number of them, we're going to hear a pre presentation today from um a Papago school and a fair number of those kids were from Papago. And one of the things we heard was how well um principal Earl and her team partner with Mr. AR over at Camelback High School to help ensure that. Um we also had a fair number of kids from Lomolinda as well. So I see some Linda people in the audience. I know one of them in particular who I won't call out who does help those kids transition there, but she's in blue. So I you know that really was amazing.
Goian does have a parent feature. Um, James is probably rolling his eyes at me because this is me. But, um, so we've looked at it for the last couple years. Um, at first I just wasn't comfortable with it rolling that out to parents. Um, but I think it's at the point now to where it's on my list of goals that we need to do that next school year. We're going to have to pilot it. So, what that does is on the Chromebook, we would set the parameters of the hours of the day. So, just 7 to three, right? We control the content filter policies. After that, then the parent could actually control what happens on that device. So, we've piloted a little bit. Scott and a couple of our internal people have piloted it on Yeah. on Scott's on Scott's kiddos. Um, you can lock it down pretty tight, right?
Like I was staring at this young lady and you know being an older graying you know man I'm always worried about being creepy. So I'm like I hope she doesn't you know I hope she doesn't think there's like a wrong reason for me staring at her. But I like knew I recognized the student and so we finally Dr. Dupin and I got to have a conversation with her after the event and and he leaned over to me and said she's the one that came to the board to present on 3D printing at Papago. So her name is Juno for those of you at Papigo. She is thriving in that program. Um and we also talked to a number of our students who have tens of thousands. One student who had hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarship money to go to Ivy League colleges and universities.
